New highway signs are being installed to remind drivers to keep passing lanes clear.

Drivers must vacate the left lane when a vehicle comes up behind them, unless they are passing another vehicle, avoiding debris on the road, allowing traffic to merge from the right, preparing to turn left or passing an official vehicle stopped on the highway. That will be the rule any time when the speed limit is 80 km/h or higher and traffic is moving at more than 50 km/h, under changes coming to the Motor Vehicle Act. Hogging the left lane and holding up traffic is already a ticket offence, but one that police found difficult to enforce due to the wording of the legislation, said Transportation Minister Todd Stone. The fine continues to be $109 for unnecessary use of the left lane. Stone said slow drivers in the left lane are a big frustration, prompting drivers to pass on

the right, which is also illegal. The changes are not intended to encourage people to exceed the speed limit in the left lane, he said. Amendments tabled in the B.C. legislature Monday also aim to clarify the province’s roadside driving prohibition law, after court challenges. That law gives police powers to impound vehicles and suspend driving privileges for up to 90 days after a driver blows a “warn” or “fail” level of blood alcohol on a roadside screening device. The “immediate roadside prohibition” program took effect in 2010, effectively replacing most impaired driving charges with administrative penalties, including a threeday driving ban and a $200 administrative fee for those who register between 0.05 and 0.08, if the police ofﬁcer has reason to believe the driver is impaired.

Province recharges rebate for electric vehicles

Photo submitted

Energy Minister Bill Bennett looks at the power system of a plug-in electric vehicle on display at the Vancouver International Auto Show. By Tom Fletcher The B.C. government has revived its emission-free vehicle subsidy program, offering up to $5,000 to buyers of battery-powered and plug-in hybrid cars. Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced the program at the Vancouver Convention Centre as it set up for the annual auto show this week. B.C. will spend $10.6 million, most of it for vehicle purchase rebates and the rest to finance new car charging stations. The program takes effect April 1 and is funded to continue until March 2018. Those scrapping a 2000-orolder vehicle can receive an additional $3,250 toward a new battery electric or eligible plug-in hybrid under the BC Scrap-It program. Even with the rebate, an electric car is more expensive to buy than a comparable gasolinepowered vehicle, but the fuel savings average about $1,600 a year compared to gasoline. B.C.’s last electric vehicle rebate program ran from 2011 to 2014, subsidizing the purchase of 950 electric vehicles and more than 1,000 charging stations. Bennett said electric vehicles and charging stations are not just a big-city option, and some are used in his home town of Cranbrook and other towns across the province, despite their shorter

range. “Anybody with a 200-

amp service can put a 30-amp breaker on their

panel, put a charging station in their drive-

way or in their garage and charge their vehicle at home,” Bennett said. That option won’t qualify for any provincial subsidy, other than for the vehicle. The program also includes rebates of up to $6,000 for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, which are still not sold in B.C. Hydrogen vehicles were heavily promoted leading up to the 2010 Winter Olympics, with a fleet of 20 transit buses provided for Whistler. They were parked late last year, after bringing in hydrogen fuel from Quebec to keep them running. If they can’t be sold they will be converted to diesel. Hydrogen fuel cell cars are available in California, although at least one manufacturer expects to have them available in B.C. within two years, Bennett said.

The Weekend View

Making real progress on poverty

B.C. Views by Tom Fletcher The B.C. government has made its most significant moves in decades to address the needs of some of the province’s poorest people. The largest financial commitment is for a new program to help single parents escape from the welfare trap. There are 16,000 single parents in B.C. receiving provincial income assistance or disability payments, most of them women. Even if they could find an entry-level job, it wouldn’t pay enough to cover the child care they would need to go to work. Worst of all, the current system requires that if they enrol in training, they lose their income assistance, including dental and extended medical care for themselves and their children. That is the welfare trap, one of the most perverse government policies to have survived into our supposedly enlightened modern era. The new program takes effect in September. It will not only continue income assistance payments when single parents enrol in skills training, it promises to cover their child care and transportation costs for an approved train-

ing program of up to one year. Medical and child care costs will then be covered for up to a year after training, to allow a transition to employment. Approved training means training for jobs that are identified as in demand, requiring high school and occupationspecific training that can be completed in a year or less. They include retail sales, general office work and assistance jobs in health services. Another overdue policy change is to double the allowable earnings for all income assistance recipients from $200 to $400 a month. This gives people a chance to improve their circumstances by taking whatever part-time or casual work they can manage, without having that little income cut from their already meagre welfare cheques. And then there was the recent decision to end the claw-back of parental child support payments from income assistance payments. The province has for many years run a costly child maintenance enforcement program to track down (mostly) deadbeat dads and force them to pay at least a token amount to support their children. Now when they pay child support to a single parent on income assistance, they will at least have the satisfaction of knowing the children actually receive the extra benefit. These harsh, historic policies were built around a philosophy that

welfare is a temporary last resort, to be withdrawn as soon as some other source of income is identified. That is a valid if unfashionable position to take on behalf of working taxpayers who pay for all this, but it only makes sense if the income assistance recipient has a realistic option. For those who are already in the entry-level job market, the minimum wage goes up 20 cents an hour in September, from $10.25 to $10.45. This is the beginning of an annual review that will tie the wage to the consumer price index. A paltry sum, to be sure, but anyone who still thinks jacking the minimum wage up to $15 an hour is a magic solution that won’t cost some entry-level jobs is clinging to a socialist dream world. • I have been contacted by several low-income seniors who read my recent column on B.C.’s Seniors’ Advocate. They were asking where to find out if they are eligible for support programs such as the SAFER rent subsidy, assistance for Medical Services Plan premiums, property tax deferment and grants to help with home modifications for disabilities. I apologize for this oversight.

High-tech wildlife detection system coming A new high-tech wildlife detection system will be introduced in the East Kootenays as part of the government of B.C.’s new 10-year transportation plan titled “B.C. on the Move.” Over the next three years, the government plans to invest $75 million in a new Road Safety Improvement Program, which will include the wildlife detection system. The hope of this detection system is to ﬁnd an effective technology solution that will reduce

the number of wildlife incidents. The system would warn motorists about the potential for collisions beforehand. “Two wildlife detection systems will be installed this summer on Highway 3 between Cranbrook and Sparwood, in the highest wildlife collision areas on the corridor,” said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. “The success of this new technology will be monitored to determine future locations to expand these systems in the East Kootenays to further

ensure driver safety.” RCMP Staff Sgt. Lorne Craig said that he believes the incorporation of this technology will beneﬁt the Elk Valley. “We do get a fairly large number of motor vehicle versus wildlife crashes in our area just due to the large population of deer and elk,” Craig said. “Anything that can reduce vehicle crashes and reduce injuries to the motoring public is a beneﬁt.” Along with the wildlife detection system, resurfacing projects

between Cranbrook and the Alberta border will also take place this season, including the resurfacing of the 12 kilometers of highway between Elko and the Elko tunnel. As part of B.C. on the Move, the 10-year transportation plan will also entail the continued expansion of Highway 3 passing lanes from the east of Cranbrook to the Alberta border. “The actions prioritized in B.C. on the Move will enhance safety, grow the economy, maintain and replace

aging infrastructure and support trade for B.C.’s expanding resource sectors through Canada’s Asia-Paciﬁc Gateway,” the BC Liberal Government Caucus press release read. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) plans to invest a total of $2.5 billion over the next three years to improve British Columbia’s transportation network.

Gregarious Gardener

10 Neat Things by Top Crop Garden, Farm & Pet

Plant now for a Summer Show

1. The first spring bulbs are just poking their heads out of the ground in gardens around the region. Some early bloomers, such as crocus and snowdrops, might even bring colour into the otherwise still sleeping yards. Now is also the time to remember that summer blooming bulbs have to be planted in the spring to ensure a dazzling display in your flowerbed later in the season. Many summer blooming garden favourites are grown from bulbs, tubers or root clumps. They include dahlias, gladioli, lilies and even peonies and hostas. They can be planted as soon as the ground is warm enough, around 10 degrees Celsius. Even if it frosts at night, the soil will keep them well protected. 2. Location. The best site for bulbs is on welldrained rich garden soil. Black Magic Soil is a great soil amendment if you want to improve your soil for bulb planting. 3. Light. Also consider the light requirements of the plants – you will find them on the package. Summer blooming bulbs will either need full sun like canna lilies, or partial shade like hostas. Bulbs can also make a great addition to your planters and baskets. 4. Plant. After choosing an appropriate site for your bulbs to grow, you can dig with a fork or spade to loosen the soil. Bulbs love Nurseryland bone meal. If you want a strong bulb, use bone meal directly in hole. For larger bulbs, such as dahlia tubers and cannas, it is better to dig a large hole of about 6-8inches. This will prevent the flowers from toppling over from the wind. Don’t worry, they will grow through the soil. 5. Place the bulb on top of this mix, making sure that the eye - this is the growth bud - is facing up before burying the bulb. Then all you have to do is water, fertilize and enjoy. Water the bulbs after planting and give them a good drink every time the soil is dry after the first flower buds appear. 6. Nurseryland Power Bloom Fertilizer is simply one of the best foods for the plant. Feeding your plants monthly, from when the shoots emerge until the plants reach full flower, will keep them beautiful. 7. Some summer blooming bulbs, especially dahlias and gladioli, might need extra support to remain upright. A wire support, such as a peony ring, is an easy way to hold up plants with weak stems and large, heavy blooms. Stakes will also work, however it is a good idea to drive them into place at planting time to avoid accidental damage to the bulbs. If you place your stake after you plant, it can be much easier to support your plant. 8. The different types of bulbs die down at different rates. Cut them down to soil level after the leaves have all yellowed and fallen over. Fading leaves can take away from the overall look of your garden. If they bother you, try growing your bulbs with low-growing herbaceous plants (plants that have no woody growth). They leaf out later on in the season and hide the bulb foliage. 9. Most summer flowering bulbs have to be dug up in the fall and stored indoors through the winter months. Use a spading fork to lift the bulbs from the ground. Some bulbs, such as dahlias, should be stored in clumps with soil around them, on a bed of lightly moistened peat moss in a cool place. Other bulbs, such as cannas, have to be washed and dried before they can be stored away from sunlight in a cool, dry basement, cellar or garage. Keep your bulbs well labelled so you know what you are planting next spring. 10. Bulbs are really quite easy. Grab them early so you can have the most varieties to choose from. Planting bulbs are a great way to get planting early. Till next time... happy gardening.

All direc-

tors must be residents of the Basin. The Board meets throughout the year in communities around the Basin. The public is invited to attend in order to meet the directors and ask questions about the organization’s work in the Basin.

(INA) in Costa Rica and the College’s International department began in 2014. When the opportunity to travel to Costa Rica to share knowledge was presented to the College’s Cook Training faculty, Chef Steven was quick to jump at the opportunity. “The chance to travel to another country and to not only share the skills that I have but to also be able to learn about their culture and their cooking methods was something I definitely wanted to be a part of,” says Lechmann. During the week of the exchange, 22 Executive Chefs from across Costa Rica participated in professional development, focussing on carving, garnishing and pastries. Lechmann lead the training in pastry work, sugar work and plate arrangement but also had the opportunity to learn carving skills and traditional Costa Rican cuisine from the local chefs.

to our work in Bolivia, the Caribbean, Kenya and Tanzania.” The week-long program concluded with a formal luncheon with the Executive Chefs presenting their culinary best to Lechmann for evaluation. He documented the competition on camera and will share a presentation about the experience with the College’s Professional Cook Training students. It was not all work for Lechmann who also had the opportunity to explore the area. He found the locals very generous with their time and hospitality; his taxi driver Juan even brought him home to have dinner with his family. “To be able to immerse myself in the culture and to learn traditional cooking techniques from a family in their own home was an incredibly valuable experience,” continues Lechmann. “Costa Ricans have a true passion for cooking and for providing topnotch service. I hope to pass these ways of thinking on to our students here at COTR.” All of Lechmann’s learning was not of the culinary variety, however. “Overall the entire trip was very humbling,” he recalls. “The Costa Rican people are not materialistic like we can be in Canada. That really made an impact on me. I am reminded that I need to be less wasteful.” Learn more about College of the Rockies Professional Cook Training program at: cotr.ca/cook

Become a GREEN SHOPPER!

Personals Dear people of Cranbrook: I was hoping to again ask for your help. There is a werewolf in my garden & he is eating my petunias & digging up my dead pets. Poor old fluffy, he was a good hamster but he spent to much time at his ninja classes & my samurai turtle Sam took him out just before he got the turtle, but enough about that, I was asking about help against the werewolf. He frequents the park near my house. Gyro Park has a werewolf in it that seems to like the swings & teeter tooters. He apparently has a thing for flowers but hates wolf’s bane, he leaves that alone. I need him gone. Hopefully the one who killed that red dragon can help me with this too. Will offer the same one million experience points plus another one million experience on top of it because the dragon slayer never claimed it and it could be yours. Just get rid of the werewolf for me.

Coming Events

If tears could build a stairway And memories were a lane, I would walk right up to heaven To bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say goodbye. You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why. Our heart still aches with sadness And secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you. No one will ever know. Missing you Love Mom & Dad, Melanie, Doug, Brooklyn, Mackenzie, Nicholas and Kyla

OBITUARY David Edmund Rayfield January 8, 1942 – March 19, 2015 Dave departed this world peacefully with his wife’s loving arms wrapped around him. A massive stroke ended his pain and the suffering of rheumatoid arthritis he endured for over 22 years. He fought many battles and faced his foe yet he was not without his gentler side. A very caring, considerate husband, father, brother and uncle, he had love in his heart. Dave was a great story teller and his word was his bond. His mother often said, “They broke the mold when Dave was born”. With more energy than most, he lived his life to its fullest and on his own terms, right to the end! In his younger years when he lived at the coast, Dave worked at Vancouver’s race track before school; he was in cubs, scouts, army cadets and the reserves. Dave took boxing lessons at the Bridgeport Legion and at 10 years old, he won the Marpole Community Center Bronze Glove Trophy. He spent a summer with the Island Department of Fisheries survey crew; drove cab in Vancouver; delivered “Honey Cream Donuts”; was a short order cook at White Spot and the Floating Lady Alexander restaurant and was employed at Ballards Dog Food Company. At age 18 Dave started to learn the glazier business which eventually led him to open and operate his own businesses “Creston Glass” and later ”Ample Glass” in Cranbrook. During his 30’s, 40’s and 50’s, Dave’s passion was raising thoroughbred horses on his Creston farm, having had horses since he was 10. He played drums and sang in his band for both small and large gigs in various cities, and he was a beautiful dancer. As a teen, Dave fished off Qualicum beach in his family’s small 12 foot boat, and spent many, many years on BC lakes as well as camping and hunting with his pack horses and his life-long friends, George and Dave. He was a respected outdoorsman, conservationist and horseman. Dave also enjoyed golfing, holdem poker and water skiing on Kootenay Lake. He was on the city’s rate payer’s council and volunteered at the animal shelter and fire hall in Creston. He was very proud to have provided a home close by for his parents for over 25 years – and to have successful businesses with only a grade 7 education. Dave will be sadly missed and never forgotten by his wife Bev and extended family that included daughter Destiny, son David, and “Other” son Brad (Suthida); Sisters-in-law Gladys(Brian) Laing, Dianne(Stephen) Morton, grand children and many close nieces and nephews. A small family gathering will take place this summer to honour and celebrate Dave’s life. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

OBITUARY

Leonard Schnell 1969 - 2015 It is with great sorrow that we announce Len passed away suddenly, at East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook, at 8:20 pm on Monday, March 16, 2015.

He will be dearly missed by many family and friends. I cried when you passed away. I still cry today. Although I loved you dearly, I couldn’t make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me That He only takes the best. Len is survived by his brother Roger, and by numerous other relatives.
