Premier Christy Clark defends stand-pat speech from the throne by Tom Fletcher

The B.C. government presented a cautious preview of the coming year with its speech from the throne Tuesday, predicting a rural revival through industrial growth while lowering expectations for mining and natural gas exports. Read by Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon to begin the spring legislature session, the speech announced the formation of a rural advisory committee to “provide inde-

pendent and impartial advice on helping rural B.C. increase opportunities, manage growth and meet its full potential in communities big and small.” Premier Christy Clark said the government has important tasks ahead, such as starting construction on the $8 billion Site C hydroelectric dam and revamping the education system to fill an anticipated skills gap. “We’re sticking to the plan, and we’ve been successful with that plan,” Clark told report-

ers. “I know it doesn’t make great headlines in the newspapers, but I don’t think we want to change so we can help you get a news story.” The speech referred to five new mines opening since 2011, but avoided mention of northeast coal mines that have closed due to low commodity prices that also threaten the operation of metal mines in B.C. NDP leader John Horgan questioned Clark’s intention to keep cutting “red tape,” an obsession of the B.C. Liberals since 2001. “They cut red tape at Mount Polley,” Horgan said of gaps in inspection that predated the collapse of the mine’s tailings dam last summer. As the government continues to await investment decisions for liquefied natural gas fa-

cilities, the speech notes that LNG “could create 100,000 jobs and the revenues to eliminate our debt,” adding that exports are needed to maintain a gas industry that already employs 13,000 people. Much of the speech touts earlier achievements, including the carbon tax on fuels and a settlement with B.C. public school teachers after a bitter strike last year. The government confirmed it is about to table a third straight balanced budget on Feb. 17, and hinted at new spending aimed at expanding the economy. The government also plans to launch a new “medal of good citizenship” to recognize those who donate their time and money to improve their communities.

The Weekend View

Post-secondary re-engineering begins B.C. Views by Tom Fletcher Premier Christy Clark’s push to “re-engineer” the B.C. education system is moving ahead aggressively in B.C.’s 25 post-secondary institutions. One of the first tasks for Andrew Wilkinson in his new role as advanced education minister was to outline the shift in operating grants for colleges and universities to in-demand occupations. By 2017, a quarter of the money for post-secondary institutions will be directed to areas where labour force surveys forecast a need. This was greeted with some alarm when it was announced last year. Simon Fraser University president Andrew Petter at first downplayed the coming skills shortage as “relatively small” and warned against pushing post-secondary institutions into a “zero sum battle for dollars.” Petter has since come on board, as his approving comments were featured in the ministry’s Jan. 26 news release detailing the shift. He and others have been assured that in spite of Clark’s rhetoric, suggesting trades training is in and university is out, the news for SFU and other universities isn’t all that bleak. Wilkinson is completing a province-wide tour of all post-secondary institutions this week, and I reached him at his visit to Thompson Rivers University in Kam-

loops. “The response to this has generally been pretty good, because the students are putting this pressure on institutions themselves,” he said. “Some of the institutions are … shrinking things like teacher education and putting more effort into the science-based, quantitative fields that are often related to these in-demand occupations.” The surplus of teacher graduates has been noticeable for some time, but that’s largely a function of oversupply, much of it in urban areas. In the Cariboo, for example, teaching jobs are projected to have the highest number of openings by 2022, followed by nursing and retail and wholesale trade managers. Then come heavy duty mechanics and electricians, but also paraprofessional jobs in legal, social, community and educational services. Province-wide, it’s part of a broader demographic shift to fewer children and more retirees. In fact the government started this targeted funding a decade ago with health care, forcing universities to produce more doctors, nurses, lab techs and so forth. The retiring baby boom is expected to account for more than half of the openings in the next decade, which will expand the skills demand across most fields, beyond the trades training for the anticipated liquefied natural gas industry and other

high-demand industrial areas such as truck driving. Wilkinson notes that of the ministry’s $1.9 billion budget, about 60 per cent goes into general post-secondary education, for introductory courses that students take when they are seeking a career path, through undergraduate studies to professions. “So I think the idea that we’re going to somehow minimize or diminish funding in that general education, arts and science category is just not true,” he said. Key to this shift is measuring the performance of courses offered at colleges, universities and technical schools. Each year, the ministry surveys about 30,000 graduates to find out whether their studies helped them find a related job. The results are available on a website that breaks them out by institution and general study area. To find it, do a web search for “BC student outcomes” and select the “executive dashboard” to check the results for courses and schools in your region. The site provides charts showing the percentage of students who land relevant jobs. Not surprisingly, it tends to be higher for technical programs and lower for fine arts. It also shows grads’ average wages, a sobering but useful bit of information for high school students and their parents. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Recently, the BCTF has partnered with UBC and the BC Superintendents Association to create a province-wide mentoring program that will formalize an integrated system of support for developing and retaining teachers in BC. We also funded, created, and launched a new online platform called TeachBC that enables teachers from across BC to share their research and teaching resources. There are a lot of

excellent things happening in BC schools and teachers are front and centre making it all happen. However, we cannot forget that any government strategy, initiative, direction, plan, etc., needs funding. Unfortunately, we’re still waiting for this government to fund the basics like improving class size and composition. A change in government attitude towards funding is the first adaptation BC students need. ~Jim Iker BCTF President

Resident hunter protest pays off as province adjusts regulations By Tom Fletcher

Bighorn sheep in the Kootenays are among the restricted hunting species in dispute between resident hunters and guide outfitters.

The B.C. government has adjusted its plan to give guide-outfitters and their non-resident clients a greater share of big-game hunting permits, after protests from resident hunters around the province. When the plan was announced in December, the government calculated that it represented a shift of 168 animals in limited-entry hunt areas from resident hunters to guide outfitters. After lis-

tening to the protests, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced Friday that is being adjusted to a shift of about 60 animals to guide-outfitters. The changes affect bull elk and either-sex elk permits on Vancouver Island, moose in the Thompson and Omineca regions, bison in the Peace region and bighorn sheep and grizzly bear in the Kootenays.

and Europe. Resident hunters enter a regional lottery for the available opportunities. Allocated hunting opportunities represent about eight per cent of the 45,700 big-game animals taken by hunters each year in B.C. In most areas, hunters can purchase a tag for each species that has an open season. Thomson announced the policy change after

more than 10 years of consultation with guide outfitters and the B.C. Wildlife Federation and local rod and gun clubs that represent resident hunters. He defended the shift to assist guide outfitters as a trade-off that prevented them from using unoccupied guide territories around the province. Those areas are now left to resident hunters

Gregarious Gardener

10 Neat Things by Top Crop Garden, Farm & Pet

Show you care this Valentine's Day

1. Celebrating Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to make the step to show you care for someone special. In our busy lives, often the people we care most about become overlooked and Valentine’s Day is a great reminder to show you appreciate them in your life. 2. Giving gifts is a great tradition of Valentine’s Day. Flowers, cards and chocolates are some of the go-to presents for your spouse, your mom, that helpful neighbour or friendly co-worker. People who are gardeners especially often enjoy cut flowers or flowering indoor plants. 3. Plants have a unique ability to offer at this time of year. February is the last stretch of winter and is when we most need some fresh colour and excitement in our lives. Even though the blooms are only for a while, the celebration helps the spirit triumph over winter. 4. Mini Roses are a slight twist on the traditional roses. Colours vary from white, pink, and classic reds. They have a long bloom time, are easy to maintain, and have a gentle sweet smell. These are great to display in the focal points of your home. The enjoyment of the rose doesn’t have to stop when all the blossoms are spent. When it is frost free, they can be planted outside and will continue to bloom again! 5. A Bromeliad flower is an exotic specimen that is sure to add colour and sophistication to any home. They have dramatic foliage and a vibrant blossom that demands attention. If your loved one has a flare for excitement, this plant is the one for them. 6. If you are looking for a deeper message to convey, Gardenias conveyed a secret love in the Victorian era. A Gardenia can often be confused for a rose, for its tight and abundant petals. This plant’s best known feature is its amazing sweet smell. If you want to stand out, a smell can create a favourable memory. 7. If you need to say you care without the romance, an African Violet is a cute little flowering plant that offers a spring feel. It likes indirect lighting, so finding a place for it in the home is a snap. Traditionally their blooms came in various shades of purple, but they now come in white, pink and even yellow flowers. Pick a plant that is already in bloom, but with plenty of unopened buds to keep it in bloom for weeks to come. 8. Want to dress your gift up a little nice? Accessorize your gift with a nice pot that can be red for the season or a universal colour that they can reuse another time. Rarely does someone truly have too many pots. 9. Don’t worry about choosing the wrong plant. If you think it looks special and it comes from you, that is all the information that you need to say you care about them in your life. 10. Still not sure what to get your sweetheart? Come down to your local garden centre and you will find your inspiration.

BC Chamber outlines competitive barriers Today, the BC Chamber of Commerce in coordination with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, and Canada’s nation-wide network of chambers of commerce, associations and businesses, unveiled the Canadian Chamber’s Top 10 Barriers to Competitiveness list for 2015. The following barriers from the 2015 Top 10 Barriers to Competitiveness have been raised as particular issues of concern by the BC Chamber of Commerce network: Silos in skills development Canada is not producing enough graduates with the skills needed

for its economy. In B.C., this is a particularly acute issue as the province expects 1 million jobs created over the next decade. There are shortages and high demand forecast in a wide range of occupations. As a result of dramatic restrictions, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program no longer presents an effective path to meet short-term labour shortages. In the medium to long term, our education and training systems play a pivotal role in equipping us with people with the right skills. With a demographic reality about to hit our labour market, we need stronger efforts to coordinate between

the silos of education and employers. The BC Chamber of Commerce has been a leading voice encouraging the B.C. government to allow more input from business into the K-12 curriculum all the way to the post-secondary training being offered to meet the skills needed by employers. Improving the links between education and employment is not the responsibility of educators and governments alone. Employers are directly implicated. The B.C. government has started this process through the BC Skills for Jobs Blueprint, but we need to continue to break the silos. Lack of clarity regarding Aboriginal land title Canadian governments have a ﬁduciary duty to consult and accommodate Aboriginal peoples

when proposed developments have the potential to impact their constitutionally protected rights. However, governments are increasingly relying on project developers to assume responsibility for large parts of community consultation and accommodation. This has led to situations where proponents have no clear direction on the extent of the consultation and accommodation required. This year, the Canadian Chamber will explore alternatives to the current scenario for resolution of the development consultation process, which currently seems headed towards lengthy court challenges to produce jurisprudence that guides proponents, opponents and governments. Internal barriers to trade The lack of a single domestic market in Canada is a serious and selfimposed weakness in the Canadian economy. Tariff barriers between provinces are banned by the Canadian constitution, yet the national economy is fractured by a host of non-tariff barriers, particularly in procurement, energy, agriculture and transportation, and in the mobility of labour. The federal government must promote more meaningful sanctions against jurisdictions that practice protectionism against other Canadians while supporting those that embrace free internal trade. Canada’s tax system is too costly and complex Canada over-relies on income and proﬁt taxes rather than on taxes on consumption, which are relatively easy to collect and are least harmful to growth. B.C. competitiveness took a serious hit when the province reverted back to the old PST system from the value-added HST system. The BC Chamber will continue to advocate a made-in B.C. value-added tax solution to the current PST. At the same time, Canada’s tax code is also overly complex and imposes signiﬁcant compliance costs on businesses and consumers while governments spend billions of dollars each year administering and enforcing convoluted tax laws. Canada must undertake a comprehensive review of its tax system with the aim of reducing its complexity and improving the way it raises tax revenue. Canada’s export infrastructure is not meeting our needs Public investment in

infrastructure has not kept up with Canada’s economic needs. Now Canada’s investment needs far exceed the availability of public funds. Bringing infrastructure in Canada back to the level needed to support prosperity will require an ongoing commitment by all levels of government, an active engagement with private sector stakeholders along the lines of the Asia-Paciﬁc Gateway and Corridor Initiative in B.C. and across western Canada, as well as a greater appreciation of the opportunities that exist for Canada to be more competitive through more modern public infrastructure in the many global supply chains circling the world. Canada is uncompetitive in the world’s tourism sector Canada has slid from the seventh largest tourist destination in the world to the 18th. Today, it is too often a high-cost, high-hassle destination with aging attractions infrastructure and inadequate marketing. Canada’s travel and tourism sector is critical to its economy, and the government must both invest in national marketing initiatives and address Canada’s inefﬁcient visa system, particularly the International Experience Canada program for our resort destination communities in B.C. Also, the very high cost of air travel in Canada and its layers of regulations, fees/taxes, and air access issues impact the competitiveness of our tourism sector. Canada is missing out on foreign trade opportunities Canada’s prosperity depends on access to international customers and participation in global supply chains. Faced with a small domestic market, exporting is often the only way to grow sales and build economies of scale. Moreover, sourcing from and investing abroad allows companies to exploit unique technologies, skill sets and cost advantages. However, Canadian businesses are not globalizing as quickly as their peers. To support the expansion of Canadian companies abroad, the federal government needs to build on recent success and take steps to conclude the next wave of highquality trade agreements and strengthen Canada’s system of trade promotion and economic diplomacy.

‘Let Lacey Play’ petition draws over 500 signers

Photo submitted

An online petition has garnered over 500 signers to let Lacey Reay (#12 in picture) play competitive basketball at her new school as opposed to only being allowed to practice. by Brian Coombs Lacey Reay is a Mount Baker Secondary School student who enjoys playing team basketball who, as it stands right now, won’t be playing any games with her team this year. Her mother, Brenda, has said she has exhausted all avenues of appeal and has turned to Change.org with a petition called ‘Let Lacey Play’, which has garnered over 500 signatures. “I was being bullied and we moved,” said Lacey. “I just want to play. It would mean the world to me.” Lacey, who is in grade 10 this year, was going to school in Jaffray, where she was a member of the basketball team. Her mother, Brenda, said that because of ongoing bullying, she decided that her daughter had to transfer schools. She is now on the Mount Baker Girls Basketball team, but can only participate in practices and not in actual games. According to the BC School Sports (BCSS) rules, if a student athlete just transfers schools, they have to wait 12 months before being eligible to play sports competitively with the new school. Because Brenda works in Cranbrook, and because she wanted her daughter to be able to play on the team this year, the family kept their property in Jaffray, but moved their full-time residence to Cranbrook. “I’ve sent them (the

BCSS) hydro bills, and everything I could showing that we’ve moved, but they just didn’t seem to believe me,” said Brenda. “We live in Cranbrook now, what is the problem?” Brenda, with help from Dan Noble, athletic director at Mount Baker, appealed the BCSS ruling three times, being denied at each step. The reason given for losing the appeal was, as per Section D11.7(b) of the BCSS Handbook: “In the case of school transfers, although there are many bona fide reasons why a studentathlete might change schools, an exemption should almost invariably not be granted in respect of a transfer for the purpose of playing a sport still offered by the student-athlete’s former school.” Brenda said she has pointed out by phone and by letter that her daughter changed schools and the family has moved because of bullying issues and not just because Lacey wanted to play at a different school. Christine Bradstock, executive director at BCSS, said that she could not comment on an individual, but could explain the rules. “If you’re at school A and could have stayed and played whatever sport you were into and decide you just want to move to school B and want to play for them, you have to wait 12 months,” said Bradstock. “This is because we were finding kids who were transferring and that there was stack-

ing of teams, recruiting and so the membership put forth the resolution to change that rule to prevent transfers where super teams were happening in some schools and others didn’t have enough players.” In regards to a family moving into another town and playing their sport immediately upon entering the new school, Bradstock said if the rules were followed, there should not be a problem. “If someone does move and provides that information and the information is deemed to be correct, they are eligible to play right away,” said Bradstock. “What they have to do is prove residency.”

3 Facts You Need To Know About... MOUNT POLLEY INDEPENDENT EXPERT PANEL FINDINGS 1. On January 30, the independent panel appointed to investigate the cause of the Mount Polley tailings storage facility failure announced its conclusion that the dam failed because its original design did not account for a layer of complex glacio-lacustrine soil underneath the dam. This layer became overstressed, causing the dam to collapse. 2. Government will act on the recommendations of the independent panel to ensure a similar failure never happens again, starting with a letter to all operating mines to confirm whether similar soils exist underneath their dams and if so what measures have been taken to ensure their design accounts for those conditions. 3. Government will also make Independent Tailings Dam Review Boards mandatory, as recommended by the panel and will initiate a code review to determine how to best implement the panel’s remaining recommend

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) named local Jillian Doey their Elk Valley Literacy Champion last Tuesday evening at the Sparwood Library. Doey is the coordinator at Sparwood Early

Years, a community organization that provides service to caregivers and parents of children under the age of six. Meghan Morton, Community Literacy Coordinator at CBAL, presented Doey with her award. “Jillian is well worthy of this award,” said Morton during the pre-

sentation. “As the Early Years Coordinator in Sparwood she works tirelessly to coordinate and/or support programming for children aged 0-6 years old, and she also coordinates learning opportunities for parents or caregivers to help them facilitate the learning of children. The work that Jillian

does provides children with many opportunities to learn and grow.” “I’m truly grateful for this award,” said Doey of the accolade. The award is given to a local who shows a commitment to literacy, supports literacy work and speaks about the importance of literacy in the community.

Kimberley athlete back from Kazakhstan for Canada Winter Games

Photo submitted

Collin Ferrie competing at the Canmore 15K Classic. Ferrie is one of the Kimberley athletes competing at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George. by Brian Coombs Collin Ferrie is a very busy young skier. Recently, during a lay-

over at the Vancouver Airport, Ferrie spoke with the Advertiser about his time spent competing in Kazakhstan in the Under 23

World Cross Country Ski Championships and about the upcoming Canada Winter Games. “There were people

from all over Europe and some from Asia as well, so it was pretty tough competition,” said Ferrie, in regards to the competition in Kazakh-

stan. “I unfortunately didn’t have my best races there. Call it a combination of trouble with the time change and the incredible depth of com-

petition, but I still raced strongly.” While in that country, Ferrie was able to visit markets, (with the help of an ever-present interpreter) and see a little bit of the country and its customs, including the amount of stray dogs in the country. “In the second week over there, we saw someone walking a dog. In Canada, that’s normal, but over there it just seemed odd.” And Ferrie gets back to Canada just in time to be one of the two Kimberley competitors at the Canada Winter Games, the second being 13-year-old Molly Miller. The hallmark of this year’s games will be the competition. There will be around 2,400 athletes along with 1,000 coaches, all of whom want to take home a medal. But Ferrie has been preparing for events like this for his entire life. Currently, he is with the Black Jack team in Rossland, but he had to get an early start to race at that level. “My parents put me

on skis when we moved to Kimberley shortly after I was three years old,” explained Ferrie. I skied downhill and cross country, but as a kid, I just liked pushing myself as hard as I could. Downhill just seemed like a free ride.” Ferrie credits local coach Bill Green for helping him in the early years of his training, and Paul Freeze for his current success. Not liking a free ride is evident in his training schedule. After working full time, he still puts in between 25 and 30 hours a week of practice. This work culminated in his participation in a 50-kilometre cross country ski race last year. “I enjoy almost every event, but last year’s 50K was my favourite to date.” For the upcoming competition, which happens in Prince George from February 13 to March 1, Ferrie has a tactic to keep him focused. “I try never to think about the competition. I go into it already feeling ready and not stressed about it,” said Ferrie.

Family Fishing Derby to be rescheduled

Rainy conditions have postponed the Family Fishing Derby until early March. Due to the poor weather and a lot of rain anticipated in the weekend forecast, the Family Fishing Derby for Kids with Cancer was postponed and did not go ahead on Monday, February 9. After significant consideration and consultation with past organizers, JCI Kootenay is making the tough decision to postpone the event. JCI Kootenay organizers have been dutifully monitoring ice conditions with the recent unseasonably mild temperatures. Currently the ice levels are still solid and safe; however, the forecasted continuous rain has created very slippery conditions. As of February 6, 2015, Horseshoe Lake has about two inches of standing water and the roads going into the site have become very icy. In addition, the rain has made the toboggan hill very icy and uncovered

exposed rock. This will ultimately provide unsafe conditions for young families and not allow the Family Fishing Derby the chance to provide a fun event that is all about the kids. JCI Kootenay organizers still plan to host the event by the first weekend in March. Participants are asked to hold onto their tickets until the Family Fishing Derby can be rescheduled on a new date. Should weather conditions continue to not improve, organizers will provide further information. JCI Kootenay would like to sincerely thank the many businesses, volunteers and participants who have helped plan the derby and the hope is the event will happen at a later date. For more information, please contact event organizer Mike Matejka at 250-919-5532.

Just two examples of the art now showing in the ‘Let Them Run, The Salmon Century’ exhibit at the Cranbrook and District Arts Council gallery. the questions and issues surrounding Salmon reintroduction. On May 8th and 9th, 2014, twenty-one Artists came together for the Let Them Run, The Salmon Century experiential learning adventure that focused on Water, the Columbia River Treaty, and the “What if we could bring the Salmon back to the headwaters of the Columbia River within a century of their loss?” This was the question that inspired 21 artists to come together to begin creating works of art on the theme of Salmon restoration. The results of their inspiration and work will be on display at the Cranbrook and District Arts Council gallery(135- 10th Avenue South, Cranbrook) February 3rd – 27th, 2015. Once the largest run of Salmon in the world, the

upper Columbia Salmon runs were abruptly sacrificed in the late 1930s with the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam. The recent PBS American Experience documentary described how building the Grand Coulee resulted in “cultural savagery” with its consequence to US Tribes and Canadian First Nations, and as “environmental butchery” in its destruction of Salmon and to the web of benefits that Salmon gave us. Completion of the Grand Coulee Dam led

in turn to the Columbia River Treaty, which formalized water control from Canada to the USA. The Treaty review now taking place represents the single most important opportunity to make real environmental change in our lifetime. Was Salmon loss necessary? Was it forever? The Salmo Watershed Streamkeepers Society (SWSS) within its ‘The River Speaks’ awareness campaign reached out to the local Artist community to explore

of a loss that can be regained. The resulting artworks were first displayed at the Kootenay Gallery in Castlegar in the fall of 2014 and are now on display at the Cranbrook and District Arts Council Gallery.

An incredible outpouring of generosity from donors throughout the East Kootenay has taken EKFH’s Starlite Campaign to new heights. The 7th annual Starlite Campaign began at the end of November with a goal of raising $150,000 and lighting 17 large and 24 small stars atop the East Kootenay Regional Hospital’s roofline. Donors were encouraged to make a donation in support of their local hospital or health care facility or to join EKFH in its $1,000,000 fundraising campaign for equipment for the East Kootenay Regional Hospital’s ICU redevelopment project. What happened next is truly magical; not only was EKFH able to light all the stars before the middle of January but the outpouring of generosity by many brought donations to an all-time record high of $170,087. Through your generous donations these facilities and program will benefit from the 2014 Starlite Campaign: ICU Redevelopment $121,300 General - $446 Arthritis - $ 50 Cancer - $10,821 Spiritual Care - $40 Pediatric - $200 Columbia House Invermere - $450 Diabetes - $2,000 Emergency Care $100 Green Home - $275 Psych/Mental Health

Hugs: To the thoughtful and caring women who organized and gathered together last Friday to honor our colleague Claire Stevens (Kennard), who passed away in January. It is such an honor to have worked with Claire, and with all those Health Unit ladies who attended her memorial. Rest in peace Claire. Hugs: To the gentleman in Kimberley who helped me reach my car over the big pile of snow. Thanks! Hugs: To the gentleman at the Kimberley Overwaitea who helped me get over a snow pile onto the sidewalk and gave me his cart. Thanks a bunch! Hugs: To the gentleman at Wal Mart who helped me put my parcels in the trunk and took my cart back to the store. Thanks! Hugs: To the two female Cranbrook Councillors. You add greatly to Council discussions with your well thought-out, intelligent comments and questions. Hopefully your male counterparts will learn from your examples and raise their interactions to the same level. Slug about people nation wide complaining about Target’s closeout sale. As far as I can recall it was the same with Zellers when they closed down. If you don’t like the sales, shop elsewhere. Slugs: To the gas stations of the Kootenays. Oil prices have been dropping and of course so have gas prices. My big slug is why of all the provinces are we still the highest. Prices in Cranbrook went up. Why? We are again over the 1.03 litre. Boy are we ripped off. Hugs: Many hugs & a big thank you to the kind & honest gentleman that returned my purse to Wal Mart on Jan. 30. I was shattered when I realized that I had left it in my card. You didn’t leave your name but I hope you will be rewarded ten times over! Slugs: To one of our local dentist in

town of Cranbrook. Recently I had to get a root canal done and being self employed and no dental plan I always ask for a quote on what it was going to cost. The quote was around $950.00. After working on my tooth, when I was paying they charged me over $150.00 more than the quote. When asked why it was more they said it took more work. Most companies that quote you for anything stand by their quote. Hugs: Big hugs to LTB computer repair and servicing. You guys are great! Integrity and service. Thanks for getting the bugs out. Hugs: Huge hugs to Patti Martin at the Hearing Clinic. You are not only knowledgeable but kind, genuine and a sweetheart to boot. Hugs: Big Hugs to all the staff at Target. Scott from customer service, you are still the best store manager I have ever dealt with. Best of luck to all of you. Hugs: Hugs and more hugs to Cathy, the front desk attendant at Kootenay Therapy. Friendly, fun, GENUINE, thoughtful, helpful etc. Hugs: Big double hugs to the staff at Windsor plywood for fixing my bi-fold door. You did an excellent job! We are very pleased and grateful and it’s impossible to beat the fantastic price. Thank you so much. Slugs: Big slugs to back talkers and people with two faces. You do more damage than you could ever be paid back for. Slugs: Wet sloppy slugs to the carwash for cutting back the time so drastically you have to take out a loan to wash and clean your car. Hugs: A big hug to the paramedics who brought me to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital when I was in need and to the hospital staff who put me back on my feet. Both your care and professionalism has been greatly appreciated!

ucts like the Grand Cherokee. With 420 lb.-ft. or torque, this new “EcoDiesel” has the same output as Ford’s Ecoboost but not the same towing capacity. Rated at 9200 lbs. this truck will be perfect for buyers who want impressive fuel economy and good towing capacity; a balance of usability and thriftiness. This engine has not been rated yet for fuel economy but, thanks to a standard 8-speed automatic transmission, the new EcoDiesel is going to get better numbers than the already class-leading gasoline V6 RAM. Having driven both the Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel and this RAM, I find the gearing and attitude of the RAM much more dynamic and actually inspiring to drive. In real world driving situations, this big luxurious truck can actually return fuel economy of 10L/100km without babying the engine. Verdict RAM has seen huge sales growth over the last few years due to constant improvements instead of waiting years to update its rigs. It started with dynamic exterior design, followed by class leading interior, then an 8-speed automatic and now a Diesel. There is even an off-road ready RAM, just shown in Detroit, due to arrive called the Rebel. The RAM EcoDiesel has been selling very well and Chrysler claims they will put this truck up against the new aluminum F-150 for top dog in the fuel economy race. Good times to be looking for a truck.

Family-friendly features included optional pop-up booster seats for children. Other neat features available in a Journey included underfloor removable cargo bins, extra storage under the front passenger seat cushion and a handy rechargeable LED flashlight. The original two engines choices were a 2.4-litre fourcylinder in a base SE trim and a 3.5-litre V6 came in SXT and R/T trim levels. The 2.4-litre engine is coupled with a fourspeed automatic transaxle and is the front-drive (only) version. Fuel economy is 11.0 L/100 km in the city and 8.0 L/100 km on the highway.

The updates included new front and rear fascias on the outside and more soft touch materials throughout the interior. It also got new wheels plus changes to the suspension and steering. The new V6 was a smoother and more powerful Pentastar 3.6-litre and it comes with a six-speed automatic that has a manual shift mode feature.
