OUTER SPACE Creating an outdoor oasis It’s Dad’s Week...

With Father’s Day quickly approaching, we thought we would talk about some areas that Dad is usually involved in. After the flurry of the spring rush is over, and the major planting or fertilizing of the lawn and trees has been done, it is important to remember to keep fertilizing throughout the summer. For trees and shrubs, ideally we fertilize until the middle of August. After that, we still continue to water until freeze up, but no longer

want them actively growing as winter approaches. The lawn however can continue to be fertilized until fall, as long as the fertilizer is adjusted to the time of year. Once the summer heat hits, it is best to drop to a lower first number, the nitrogen, and increase your phosphorus (second) and potash (third). You can use a little stronger Nitrogen however as long as you have a good and constant water supply. Keep fertilizing your

lawn and trees and shrubs at 4-6 week intervals, especially if they are struggling or need a little extra tlc. If Dad wants to seed some new lawn for the family, make sure he knows that there are many options for our area. Playfield blends are for the yard that has lots of traffic, such as kids, pets. Front lawn blends are a little finer blend. They are still hardy and easy to maintain, but just a little finer looking lawn. There is also the

Classic blend that contains even more Kentucky bluegrass, and if your Dad wants perfection, this is his blend. Shady blends are exactly for that. And if Dad wants less work or wants to spend more time on the lake while he is at the cabin, a great blend is the Envirogreen. It is a less mow, less water blend. If Dad is also the chemical guy and uses them throughout the summer, be sure he knows the proper application

rates and uses. It is never a good idea to use any chemicals in the heat of the day. Cooler evenings and early mornings are best. It is also extremely important to wash out thoroughly any spray equipment you may use for any chemicals. In fact it is best to have a separate sprayer for insecticides and herbicides. Every Dad should have a quality sprayer; whether it is a dial hose end sprayer or a pump tank sprayer. They are safer and more

accurate. And always tell Dad to follow the mixing rates, because in the case of chemicals, making them stronger often causes worse results over all. Quality tools are also an important part of most Dads’ supplies. If Dad’s back is bad, they now make more ergonomically correct tools. Proper lengths and lighter tools make any guy’s job a lot easier. As well, most guys love to prune. A good set of pruners is a great gift idea. Fel-

co pruners are the Cadillac of pruners, but lots of companies come close in comparison, such as Corona. A good, sharp set of pruners can make a huge difference in a successful pruning job. This week you want to get Dad some new stuff. Or even better, you could do his jobs so he can hit the golf course. Remember all the helpful advice above. And to all the Dad’s, and Step Dad’s and good guys out there...have a great week.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION NOTICE Fording River Operations Swift Project Public Comment Period Teck Coal Limited, Fording River Operations (FRO), P.O. Box 100, Elkford, British Columbia, V0B 1H0, proposes to extend current operations within and on areas immediately west, south and north of FRO’s existing open-pit mining areas located approximately 19 kilometres north of Elkford, British Columbia in the East Kootenay region of south eastern B.C. The FRO Swift Project is accessed by way of Highway 43 (Elk Valley Highway) from Sparwood, north to Elkford and then north on the Fording Mine Road. The FRO Swift Project footprint is on fee simple land owned by Teck (approximately 5% of the FRO Swift Project footprint) and on Crown land coal leases held by Teck (approximately 95% of the FRO Swift Project footprint). The South East Coal Permitting Program of the Ministry of Energy and Mines is leading a coordinated authorizations review for the proposed FRO Swift Project on behalf of the Ministry of Environment. The South East Coal Permitting Program is currently inviting public comments about the proposed FRO Swift Project related to the following authorizations: Authorization: Mines Act Permit Amendment; Act or Regulation: Mines Act; Project Component: Part 10.2.1 Health and Safety Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia; File No.: C-3 Mine No. 1200004; Contact: Chief Inspector of Mines, Ministry of Energy and Mines, PO Box 9320, Stv Prov Govt, Victoria, B.C. V8W 9N3. Authorization: Environmental Management Act Permit Amendment; Act or Regulation: Environmental Management Act; Project Component: Waste Discharge; Authorization; File No.: 424. Contacts: Colin Squirrell, Project Coordinator, Southeast Coal, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, 1902 Theatre Road, Cranbrook, B.C. V1C 7G1 Mines Act Permit Amendment: Teck Coal Limited, FRO, has submitted, as part of a joint application, a proposed mine plan together with a program for the reclamation of the land and water courses related to the FRO Swift Project. Environmental Management Act Permit Amendment: Teck Coal Limited, FRO has submitted an amendment application to the Director to amend Permit 424, issued under the Environmental Management Act. Permit 424 was issued July 29, 1971 and last amended May 12, 2015. Permit 424 authorizes the discharge of effluent to: tailings impoundments, the Fording River or its tributaries and to the land, from a coal mining operation and coal preparation plant located on the FRO Mine Site, near Elkford, British Columbia. The Permit 424 amendment application requests authorization to discharge mine influenced (contact) water from three new settling ponds to the Fording River, a tributary of the Elk River. Table 1 lists the three proposed discharges as well as two clean (non-contact) water discharges associated with the FRO Swift Project. The FRO Swift Project water management system will include conveyance, collection and treatment (in settling ponds) of contact water for the removal of total suspended solids (TSS) prior to discharge to the Fording River. The settling ponds will provide physical treatment to reduce TSS concentrations in the discharges to the Fording River. Concentrations of TSS are not to exceed 50 mg/L for discharges up to Q10 -24hr flow (i.e., maximum daily flow that will be observed once in 10 years). Flocculants will be added to a settling pond as required to meet the discharge criterion. Two diversions of clean (non-contact) water around the proposed waste rock spoils are also proposed and are described below in Table 1. The settling ponds and permanent diversion and conveyance channels will be designed to convey up to the 200-year design flow without impacting the structure. The FRO Swift Project water management system has been designed to integrate with the active water treatment facilities approved in the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan and meet the site performance

The Weekend View

Opinion: Free trade right here at home by Laura Jones It is an embarrassing state of affairs when many small businesses report that North-South trade with the U.S. is easier than East-West trade within Canada. But this is nothing new. It was such a big concern when the North American Free Trade Agreement was coming into force more than two decades ago that the provinces put in place the Agreement on Internal Trade. Unfortunately, that agreement has been a colossal failure. Fast forward to today and the prospects of a trade deal with Europe is shining a spotlight on our domestic dysfunction. Do we want it to be easier for Canadian businesses to trade with other countries than other provinces? Well, of course not. But the big question on everyone’s mind is whether Canada’s provincial and federal governments can deliver a better outcome than last time around. There are some reasons for optimism. On the premiers’ direction, Canada’s trade ministers met for the first time in four years earlier this week to work toward a March 2016 deadline to have a new agreement in place. As part of a business coalition, I presented to the group. The thing that struck me most was the non-partisan environment in the room. Politicians of all stripes

seem serious about working together for the good of the country. They are all saying the right things. But saying the right things is the easy part. Doing the right thing is harder. How important is it that we get it right this time? Very. An overwhelming majority — nine out of 10 — of Canada’s small businesses want the premiers to make free trade within Canada a priority, according to a recent survey done by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. In the 125 pages of survey comments there was example after example of domestic trade red tape. In the words of one insurance broker: “The regulations are so varied by province that one almost needs to hire trade lawyers to get things done. Trying to do business in other provinces is severely hampered by this reality.” Many commented on differences in transportation rules (for example, different licensing structures, wide-load signs that need to be changed at provincial borders). Others commented on how frustrating it was to deal with different Workers’ Compensation Boards. A local art school owner summed it up well: “Canada should have its own free trade act. It’s sad that it seems easier to do business with the U.S. than Canada.”

A successful agreement will have three characteristics. It will be comprehensive, covering all goods and services, with any exceptions clearly listed. Accepting each other’s regulatory standards (mutual recognition) will be the default. If it is safe enough for Quebec, why shouldn’t it be safe enough for B.C. (again, exceptions can be listed). The alternative to accepting each other’s rules is trying to harmonize everything, which is a nightmare of epic proportions in terms of time and energy. Finally, the agreement will be simple, with a clear and effective dispute mechanism. International free trade agreements have thousands of pages where exceptions can hide, and copying that approach for Canada would be a mistake. We are at a crossroads where provincial leaders can decide to be ambitious and finally make Canada free. They will likely be tempted to focus on eliminating only some barriers. This would be a mistake. Only an ambitious deal will lead to the ambitious outcomes that Canada needs in the modern world. Canada turns 150 in 2017. I can think of no better birthday present for the country than to deliver a real trade agreement that unites us in creating new opportunities. Laura Jones is Executive Vice President of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.

BC considers stiffer fines and sanctions for distracted drivers

PHOTO BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESS

Are tougher fines needed for drivers who text? The province is asking B.C. residents for feedback on how far it should go. by Jeff Nagel The province is considering stiffer fines and possibly vehicle impoundments or prohibitions to get distracted drivers to put down their cellphones and devices. Motorists caught using a hand-held device face $167 fines and – since last fall – three driver penalty points. “We took a first step and increased the penalties last fall and now we’re looking at possible changes to the legislation, including more severe penalties,” Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said. A four-week online consultation period is open until July 16 to gather public opinion on whether tougher measures are needed. Comments are being collected at engage. gov.bc.ca/distracteddriving. Besides potential vehicle impoundments or driver prohibitions, the site asks if texting drivers should be punished more severely, and possibly new drivers and repeat offenders as well. Five years after distracted driving fines were introduced in B.C., many drivers continue to ignore the law. Police issued 55,100 tickets last year to drivers caught using an electronic device behind the wheel – an increase from 53,000 in 2013. ICBC estimates 9,500 drivers in B.C. are using a hand-held device at any given time and 40 per cent are texting or emailing as they drive. The B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police supports escalating fines or sanctions, particularly

for multiple repeat offenders, said Transit Police Chief Neil Dubord who chairs the chiefs’ traffic committee. But he said the widespread disregard for the cellphone law makes it difficult to see how officers could impound vehicles – at least on a first offence – without being accused of selective, unfair enforcement. “The impoundment of vehicles is difficult because of the large numbers,” said Dubord, who is taking over as chief of

Delta Police later this month. “When people are speeding at double the limit speed limit a threshold is broken which can then lead to the impounding of the vehicle.” He said he believes prohibitions should be considered, but only for the worst repeat offenders. The chiefs’ association doesn’t have a formal position on prohibitions, nor has it adopted the stance that texting is worse than hand-held phone calls. According to research cited by the province,

texting or using a smartphone while driving is more distracting than talking on one, resulting in up to 23 times higher crash risk for drivers who text. Speed and distraction are now the top two factors contributing to crash deaths, ahead of third-ranked alcohol. B.C.’s distracted driving ﬁnes are the second lowest in Canada. Nova Scotia has the highest, climbing from $234 to $579 on the third offence, and Ontario is about to double its maximum ﬁne from $500 to $1,000.

Saskatchewan impounds the vehicle for seven days if the driver has had two or more distracted driving tickets within the last year. Dubord said police are also concerned about the increasing use of in-dash video screens that allow the passenger, and often also the driver, to watch movies. He said ofﬁcers are also wary of other new and distracting technology, from Google Glass to the Apple Watch.

BANKRUPTCY? REPOSSESSION? BAD CREDIT? HIGH INTEREST?

That’s solidified with the fourth generation. Without getting too technical, dimensionally, it has changed. It’s actually smaller – the overhangs in the front and rear don’t hang as much – yet space is used even more efficiently inside. The driver sits lower, and so does the engine. I’m not a particularly tall individual, but my driving partner, an above average height male, didn’t find himself as cramped as he thought he would be. Even when we put the top up, claustrophobia was nowhere to be found. And speaking of top up driving, cabin noise is reduced significantly. Thanks to an aluminum front panel and insulating headliner, wind noise is cut by 40 per wwcent. With the top down, engineers have used their wizardry – or in this case, scientific knowhow – to keep cabin wind at bay and to allow conversations to be carried on without having to yell. And without too much hair being blown around. Side note: ladies, bring a hair tie just in case. Perhaps MX-5 admirers should also bring their sunglasses, because this front-engine, rear-wheel drive car is hot. Hot meaning sexy. And sexy in regards to its styling.

The MX-5 fully embraces the Kodo or “Soul of Motion” design language that inspires clean and crisp lines on new and future Mazda products. You won’t find hard edges on this car, but you will find a flowing form that is highly attractive at a standstill. While the looks of a car are essential, it’s not what the MX-5 relies on for its cult-like following. It’s the drive. The MX-5 is a car that can make you feel like a hero, or a champion without breaking too many road rules. It’s a car whose steering, suspension and transmission work so seamlessly together with the driver that it requires effort not to enjoy yourself. If the Laws of Attraction are yet again on my side, the 2016 Mazda MX-5 and I will cross paths again. Hopefully sooner rather than later. The 2016 Mazda MX-5 (the GX trim) has a starting MSRP of $31,900. The GS has an MSRP of $35,300 and the GT of $39,200. All three trims can be outfitted with the six-speed manual or the six-speed automatic for the same price.

Subaru’s crash test doggies By Keith Morgan Subaru is working with the Centre for Pet Safety to crash test pet safety products. A recent survey revealed that 56 percent of North American pet owners drive with their pets aboard and 20

percent admitted to travelling with a pet in their lap. Subaru will help promote the safety of beloved fourlegged companions by funding the non-profit research and advocacy organization’s testing of pet crates and small carriers in crash situations. The study, designed by CPS, will include an investigation of crate connection options for pet owners who travel with their pets, as well as examine crate and carrier structural integrity, and gather data necessary to formulate testing and crate performance standards. The partnership continues the work that began in 2013 with the testing by CPS of pet harnesses. The resulting Harness Crashworthiness Study uncovered major differences in performance of popular pet restraints, with many resulting in catastrophic failure that could cause serious injury to both the pet and vehicle passengers. The goal of the study was to highlight the importance of driving safely with pets and to complete the first formal test protocol and independent ratings guidelines for pet travel harnesses, published by CPS in 2014. “We want to make pet parents aware of proper safety measures they can take to help protect their pets.

Anyone who has purchased a car has faced an overwhelming list of features on the window sticker. Over the years, there have been some imaginative features offered right from the dealership. Here are five of the more ‘interesting” examples. Lightning Rods Shifter – 1984 Oldsmobile Hurst: The perfect option for any automotive enthusiast who just can’t get enough levers, the Lightning Rods shifter walks a very strange line between a typical automatic and a full ratchet shifter. As goofy as it may look, Lightning Rods have no problem putting the power to the ground. Swivel Seats – 1975 Chevrolet Laguna S3: It’s a wonder that more cars weren’t offered with swivelling seats, seeing as those troublesome stationary seats are always such a bother to get in and out of. While the swivel seat was designed for easy egress, an added benefit is that your vinyl won’t wear out nearly as quickly. Highway Hi-Fi record player – 1957 Chrysler 300: The Highway Hi-Fi did its best to stop the needle scratching your precious 45s. Not only is there a generous amount of suspension built into the record player, but the pressure placed on the needle was known to prematurely wear records out. Rim Blow Steering Wheel – 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429: In a time before road rage, Ford, AMC, Chrysler, and GM all thought it would be much better to get rid of the pesky horn button and just have drivers squeeze the wheel. One major defect of the Rim Blow was shrinkage, which caused the horn to sound all the time! ‘His-and-Hers’ Shifter (Hurst Dual/Gate) – 1969 Oldsmobile Hurst 442: One of the more sexist options to be offered on a car (to date), the Hurst Dual/Gate shifter was branded as the “His and Hers” shifter. The theory behind the ‘his-and-hers’ shifter was women wouldn’t want to be bothered by changing gears while driving! This option allowed the driver to kick the stick over and access all three gears “manually.”

Matt Lewis writes for Hagerty Insurance. more than half of Subaru drivers are pet owners, with over 69 percent of them owning at least one dog. We feel a sense of responsibility to inform pet parents of safety measures they can take.” Subaru and CPS will once

Kootenay News Advertiser Friday, June 19, 2015

2015 National Invasive mussel free in BC Aboriginal Day National Aboriginal Day is the perfect occasion to discover this incomparable universe, as different activities take place in towns across the country. The First Na tions, Metis, and Inuit will unite in presenting magnificent dancing, singing, and contemporary and traditional theatrical shows. The result is both colourful and breathtaking. National Aboriginal Day also gives us all the opportunity to learn more about Ca nada’s First People and their enduring contributions

‘For thousands of years we, the Ktunaxa, have persevered, overcome many adversities and always managed to survive. We did this because of our strong sense of unity, our connection to the Creator and our connection to our land. It has also been through our culture, language and spirituality that we have evolved over time. These core values that we hold as a people will support our continued existence into the future.’ – Former Chief, Cheryl Casimer Ktunaxa (pronounced ‘k-too-nah-ha’) people have occupied the lands adjacent to the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers and the Arrow Lakes of BC for more than 10,000 years. For thousands of years we enjoyed the natural bounty of the land, seasonally migrating throughout our Traditional Territory to follow vegetation and hunting cycles. We obtained all our food, medicine, and mate-

rials for shelter and clothing from nature - hunting, fishing and gathering throughout our Territory, across the Rocky Mountains and on the Great Plains of both Canada and the United States. The Ktunaxa language is unique among Native linguistic groups. It is unrelated to any other in the world and is a critical element of our singular identity. The traditional territory of the Ktunaxa Nation covers approximately 70,000 square kilometres within the Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and historically included parts of Alberta, Montana, Washington, and Idaho. European settlement in the late 1800s, followed by the establishment of Indian Reserves, led to the creation of Indian Bands. The Nation currently comprises four Canadian and two US bands.

Mary Polak, minister of environment. by Mary Polak, Minister of Environment Invasive zebra and quagga mussels have never been detected in British Columbia’s waters and, with the addition of our new strengthened mussel early detection and rapid response program announced earlier this year, we are stepping up co-ordinated efforts to keep the province invasive mussel free. Our strengthened invasive mussel defence program currently underway includes three mobile decontamination units, six trained auxiliary conservation officers, expanded monitoring for zebra and quagga mussels and increasing ‘Clean, Drain, Dry’ education and outreach activities. Through the new program, teams are now on B.C. roads performing boat and boat trailer inspections and, as necessary, decontaminating boats entering B.C. The teams are also responding to boats identified as a concern by the Canadian Border Services Agency, as well as U.S. partner agencies. Mobile units have the flexibility to provide extended coverage near border crossings and

throughout the province, especially on popular, high-traffic routes. When interacting with the public, the teams are educating citizens about the dangers of invasive aquatic species and how to prevent them from entering the province’s waterways. Additionally, we have increased other educational and outreach activities and twenty-four new highway signs featuring the ‘Clean, Drain, Dry’ program have been installed at significant entry points into the province. Allowing us to develop and test this delivery model this summer will help us in creating a sustainable, expanded mussel prevention program by building capacity, experience and additional partnerships. We will continue to develop these partnerships to reach our goal of expanding the program over the long term. Stopping the invasion of zebra and quagga mussels requires a concerted effort from jurisdictions and agencies near and far. B.C. is already working with partner agencies in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Nevada, as well as Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, to ensure

Photo submitted

information is immediately exchanged when mussel-infested boats are detected. Together with these other jurisdictions, we are co-ordinating training for our frontline staff, and are also co-ordinating the timing and locations of boat wash stations. We also support new federal legislation allowing Canadian Border Services Agency staff to check and detain mussel-infested boats at the southern border. Local governments are being encouraged to join the defence against zebra and quagga mussels by promoting education and awareness of the dangers of these invasive species. We applaud those local organizations already actively participating to keep these invasive species out of B.C. I strongly urge all recreational boaters to familiarize themselves with the ‘Clean, Drain, Dry’ program so they can also do their part to keep B.C. invasive mussel free. Preventing invasive mussel species from entering our province is crucial to protecting our waterways. Our goal is to see B.C. remain free from invasive mussels.

Thank You! A very sincere thank you to the special people

When I think about this man, the Father of our family, I’m remembering a man with a deep and quiet soul, one who worked for what his family needed, and took pleasure in his role... When I think about this man, who had big challenges to face, I think about this Father, about his dignity and grace. When I think about this man, who in his daily life revealed so much strength and tenderness and depth in what he felt. When I think about this man, who always gave the best he could, It think about my family’s lifelong hero. A good man.

who were so kind and caring during the past few years to my mother

Anne Goodman Special thank you to Dr. Sarah Chesney for your care and kindness to both mom and I. To everyone at the FW Green Memorial Home for their attentive care of mom. Her smile said it all! A heart full of gratitude to a very special Gerri Atchison volunteer for Cranbrook-Kimberley Hospice Society who became a most caring friend to mom with your visits and a dear friend to me listening when my stress levels became unbearable. Dean from McPherson’s, your patience is incredible, thank you! Buff, George, Anna, Gord & Irene, thank you for your support. To KC, Matt and my grand-girls who gave full support and love to both grandma and I. A private service for Anne was held at Westlawn on June 10, 2015.

Special needs camping at Blue Lake This August, children and youth from the Basin will have the opportunity to participate in a specialized summer camp close to home. Located 40 minutes South of Fairmont Hot Springs and 90 minutes North of Cranbrook, Blue Lake Centre has been a top destination for environment education programming for over 35 years. A pilot project at Blue Lake Centre will allow campers with special needs to access summer camp opportunities without having to travel outside the region. Blue Lake Executive Director, Todd Hebert, was approached by a

number of parents with the idea to add summer programming specifically for children with special needs. Parents were concerned with the costs and stress associated with having to send their children away to locations in the Okanagan, Alberta, or as far as Ontario in order to attend summer camps. Often siblings and friends were participating in Blue Lake programs and parents wanted their children to have the same experience. “The camp community provides a positive supportive environment for children and the impact from attending camp can last

With few, if any, special needs outdoor overnight camping facilities in the Basin, Blue Lake decided to pursue the opportunity to assist those families with a locally organized program”, says Hebert, “This kind of programming it vitally important. The response has been overwhelming from parents who are interested and keen as well as a number of community members who are interested in this moving forward so it’s been really exciting for us.” Dubbed “Camp for Kids with Exceptional Needs”, programming will focus on Blue

Lake’s standard recreational activities such as canoeing, arts and crafts, and swimming. Environment education programming like water, soil, forest, and wildlife learning will be available as well. A group of parents and professionals including social workers, special services coordinators, special educator coordinators, and teachers became an advisory committee to assist Blue Lake to create a plan for program adaptations and alternatives to programs as required depending on the needs of the campers. Another component to the program will be

a peer mentorship program open to youth with special needs aged 17-29. The camp plans to identify five to six youth interested in leadership development and take them through their regular staff-training program. They will then job shadow staff during the Camp for Kids with Exceptional Needs. Carolyn McLean of the Cranbrook Aspergers/autism parent support group was one of the parents that initially approached Blue Lake with the idea. “With Camp for KIDS with Exceptional Needs, our children can meet new people and make new friendships. With

autism that can be difficult,” says Mclean, “Blue Lake is giving parents and children opportunities to experience a camp in a safe and supportive way. Making a dream become a reality for parents and kids in the Kootenays.” Funding provided through Columbia Basin Trust’s Social Grants has helped to offset some of the costs. “Without funding from CBT this project would not move forward. External funding such as that from CBT is absolutely vital to our programs. That is what allows the flexibility to consider new program-

ming.” To provide this experience to as many youth as possible, additional funding will be available to campers through the Blue Paddle Campership Fund. Camp for Kids with Exceptional Needs will take place from August 16-19. Registration is open to everyone and a system is in place to determine the level of care required. Blue Lake will do their best to meet that requirement. For more information visit the Blue Lake Centre website at www. bluelakecentre.com or call 250-426-3676.

Marisa quickly used the garden hose to cool the burns, extinguish the flames and moved her mother into the shower to continue to cool Tammy’s burns while she called 911. Both Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services and BC Ambulance responded and Tammy was transported to hospital where she was then airlifted to Vancouver for additional treatment and is expected to make a full recovery. Some of Tammy’s treatment costs were covered through the BC Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund, an organization that Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services raise money for each year through their Burn Fund Calendar and their annual McDonald’s Wild Fire Basketball Challenge at Mount Baker Secondary School. Both Tammy and Marisa credit first aid training received through Girls Guides, conducted by Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services in allowing Marisa to know what to do and saving her mother from a much longer painful recovery.

A great future ahead of this recent graduate fireworks, marching bands and CF18 Hornet flyover highlighted the graduation ceremonies. Justin received his commission as an Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, receiving with it a promotion to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant. He is currently posted to 1 Canadian Air Division in Winnipeg where he will pursue his training as an Air Combat Systems Officer with a goal of being posted to a maritime helicopter squadron. Justin grew up in Sparwood and graduated from Sparwood Secondary School in 2010. He attributes his interest in military training to his involve-

ment in the Air Cadet Program after joining 279 Elk Valley Squadron in 2006 at the age of 14. He would like to thank Captain Murray Clow and Captain (ret.) Bruce Timbrell for their positive influence and selfless dedication to youth in the Elk Valley. The mission of the Royal Military College of Canada is to produce officers with the ethical, mental, physical and linguistic capabilities required to lead with distinction in the Canadian Armed Forces. RMC prepares officer cadets through the 4 pillars of officer training: education, fitness, bilingualism and leadership.

Correction Notice

The College of the Rockies published an ad Friday, June 12 with incorrect information. It should have read “On Friday, May 29 College of the Rockies celebrated our 39th annual convocation. The ceremony included inspirational speeches by President David Walls and student representative Nolin Hoodicoff, the presentation of academic awards and a closing performance by the Blood Line Drummers.”

Better at Home gets boost

Seven communities in the Columbia Valley area have joined the Better at Home program thanks to $60,000 in funding from the B.C. government. The Columbia Valley is one of six new rural and remote areas receiving funding. The Better at Home program aims to be ready to assist clients this summer in Invermere, Windermere, Spillimacheen, Edgewater, Radium, Panorama and Canal Flats. This funding is part of a $4-million contribution from the B.C. government and is distributed through United Way of the Lower Mainland. The funding will help provide nonmedical support to help seniors remain inde-

pendent in their homes for as long as possible. Program services can vary between communities, but include friendly visiting, light yard work, minor home repairs, grocery shopping, light housekeeping and transportation to appointments. “Life is better in the comfort of your own home,” Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said. “By providing simple, non-medical support services such as transportation to appointments and friendly visits, the Better at Home program will help seniors in our communities continue to live independently.” This Better at Home pilot project recognizes that seniors’ independence in rural and re-

mote communities can be affected by factors such as geographic isolation, smaller population density and less infrastructure development. All seniors living in a Better at Home community can apply for services. The Better at Home service provider will assist the applicant in deciding which services are right for their circumstances. To date, the B.C. government has provided $26 million in funding to enhance and support the operations of the Better at Home program. For more information about the Better at Home program, go to: betterathome.ca

We sincerely apologize to Mr. Hoodicoff for incorrectly spelling his name.

10 Neat Things by Top Crop Garden, Farm & Pet

Trees will give back to you

Are you looking to add a wow factor to your yard or landscaping design? Trees can be used to make perfect statement pieces. Whether adding a tree to an existing yard or starting from scratch, trees can be used as the basis for the remainder of the yard. When deciding what tree you want to plant, the possibilities are truly endless. From fruit bearing trees to uniquely sculpted topiaries and everything in between, there is something for every yard. The secret to planting successful growing trees is to give them the best possible start you can give them. It is crucial to pick the right tree for the space, which means think 10 years ahead. Nothing is more frustrating than having to remove a tree when it gets too big or invades too far into something like power lines or the neighbor's yard. When trees are newly planted and smaller, that is when they are the most susceptible to problems. Proper planting starts at the base with the soil. You want to ensure that your tree has proper soil that will help establish a healthy root system. We are always asked “how big of hole should I dig?” The answer to that is “the bigger the better.” This is especially true if your existing soil is poor quality, as much of our area is. Another key factor to consider is bone meal and a liquid transplant solution. Bone meal is a slow feed for the roots and the liquid transplant solution is a quick acting root supplement. And, as with every new plant, a consistent water supply is crucial for the first few years of the tree’s life. In our area, another key element to success is staking material. By securely staking a tree, it helps stabilize the roots from windy days which allow them to attach and develop more readily. This is crucial in our windy area. When considering what type of trees to plant, take in a couple of considerations. Fruit trees are a great addition to a backyard. They even have varieties of fruit trees with several different kinds of fruit on them, for small yards. In our area, we can pick from apples, pears, plums, and cherries, just to name a few. Now, if you are considering planting a specimen tree for beauty, take into consideration what colour of blooms and leaves you may want. Hawthornes and Royalty Crabs are always a beautiful addition for a front yard. As with any deciduous tree, be sure to take in what height and spread you may want. As well, there are trees that do better in shady conditions and different soil types. There are a lot of options out there, so talk to a nursery expert before planting. Now, if you are wanting green all year, you may want to consider an evergreen. From spruce trees and cedars, to upright and crawling junipers, the choices are many. As well, some options are a much better consideration if deer are an issue. The key to successfully growing evergreens is to plant properly and ensure you water well into the fall. Nothing is prettier than Christmas lights on evergreens in the yard in winter. Trees are a good investment for any yard that give back for generations. Be sure to talk to the right people to get good information and take the guess work out of it. And remember: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the next best time is today”

cigarette butt collection during the Tamarack

Centre’s Butt Out, Butt In campaign. Under the direction of teacher Paul Knipe along with 8 educational assistants, the students learned how to create caps for the cylinder, weld on latches and paint the holders for the canisters. The students work on a community project each semester to help them understand the importance of volunteering and giving back to the community at large. This project not only raises their awareness about cigarette butt waste but it allows them to develop important skills which they can use when they leave school and enter the work world. Tamarack Centre is launching a city-wide cigarette waste cleanup effort to help keep the butts from entering into the ground and in waterways and also to keep wildlife from ingesting harmful

chemicals and waste products. Tamarack is asking smokers to dispose of their butt in the canisters in order to keep them off the ground. The cylinders will be located throughout Cranbrook and larger receptacles will be located on the Tamarack Centre property. The Centre hopes to collect 250 lbs. of cigarette waste by the end of fall. The butts will be sent to a company in Ontario, TerraCycle that will recycle them into pallets and other items such as park benches and flower pots. Home Hardware generously donated the materials to the Adapted Technology Work Skills class so that they could make the canisters. For more info visit TamarackCentre.ca

Did you know that June is Invasive Species Action Month in BC? Know Your Enemies: Invasive Plants in the East Kootenay Hoary Alyssum Grows to 0.7m and has white flowers carried on long stalks. Oval seedpods are flattened and held close to the stem. Leaves are grey-green in colour. Upper leaves are small and also clasped close to the stem. The entire plant is covered in star-shaped hairs. It is spread by seed. The plant emerges early in spring and continues to flower and produce seed until frost.

What are Invasive Plants? Invasive plants are all around us and pose a serious threat to wildlife, the economy, recreation and the environment.

Blueweed Dry roadsides, rocky pastures, rangeland and disturbed habitats are the perfect location for this plant. It has bright blue blossoms covering the upper sides of the stems. The rough, hairy leaves become progressively smaller towards the top of the plant. The rough seeds usually fall to the ground around the parent plant, but they can stick to clothing or animal fur.

Leafy Spurge A bushy plant with clusters of small, yellowish green flowers supported by heart shaped leaves below the flowers. Leaves are narrow and spiral around the stem. This plant produces a compound that inhibits the growth of other plants. It can be spread by seed, but advances more effectively through its extensive root system, with up to 300 plants forming on the roots.

Has vibrant orange flowers clustered at the top of stems covered in stiff black hairs. The leaves, long and ovalshaped, cluster at the base of the fibrous stems. It has above ground runners, grows to 0.6 metres tall, and contains a milky juice.

Beware of Aquatic Invaders!

They are not native to North America. They are often poisonous or unpalatable to wildlife and livestock.

Common Tansy is an aromatic plant with numerous, yellow, button-shaped flowers in dense, flat-topped clusters at the tops of the plants. Leaves are deeply divided and almost fern-like. Mature plants grow 0.4-1.5 m tall with upright stems that are often purplish red and dotted with glands.

EKIPC is a non-profit society which is responsible for Invasive Plant management efforts on Crown land within the region, including:

The RDEK’s Invasive Plant Program provides a variety of services for private land within the region, including:

• Public education and distribution of information; • Securing and administering Invasive Plant management funding; • Planning and coordinating treatments on Crown land in the region; • Developing partnerships to encourage prevention and management efforts; • Hiring and administering local contractors; • Monitoring on the ground treatments; and, • Maintaining a comprehensive inventory of Invasive Plants within the region.

• Landholder education and distribution of information and expertise; • Compliance and enforcement of the BC Weed Control Act; • Coordination of Invasive Plant management across Private and Crown land in the region; • Individualized support and development of weed management plans for land holders; and, • Representation of local government and taxpayers’ interests on EKIPC.

It’s Everyone’s Responsibility! Help to Control Invasive Plants What You Can Do to Help

Invasive Plants are not just limited to the land. Lakes, rivers and streams in the East Kootenay are threatened by aquatic invasive species such as Eurasian Watermillfoil and Didymo. These species are spread by anglers, boaters and their equipment. By remembering to CLEAN, DRAIN & DRY your gear after each use, you can help stop their spread!

http://bcinvasives/ca/ resources/programs/ clean-drain-dry.ca

Invasive plant management is led primarily through the efforts of the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council and the Regional District of East Kootenay.

Orange Hawkweed

Spotted Knapweed is only one of over 80 species of invasive plants in BC. Many of those are right here in our corner of the province, and often these plants are quite pretty and seem harmless enough. When defining which plants are invasive plants, there are three things to consider:

Invasive Plant Management in the East Kootenay:

shrub like plant that forms large, dense clumps that measure between 3 and 9 feet high. The stems are reddish in colour, ridged, jointed and hollow. The leaves are broad ovals with a truncated base. The flowers are small, creamy or white, and bloom in later summer and early autumn.

Weeds Make Bad Neighbours

We all need to recognize the role we play in the spread of invasive plants. People are the biggest spreaders of Invasive Plants. Together we can make a difference:

The Neighbourhood Invasive Plant Program (NIPP) assists land occupiers in managing Invasive Plants on private land.

• Learn to recognize invasive plants. Visit Weeds BC’s website: www.weedsbc.bc.ca • Report weed infestations to the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council at 1-888-553-5472 or www.ekipc.com • Try not to spread invasive plants. Seeds and plant parts are easily caught in shoes, clothing and undercarriages of vehicles. Take special care at campsites, roadsides, and trails. • Avoid activities that disturb soil or remove native plants. This can result in an invasive plant becoming established. • Wash your gear, bikes,and recreational vehicles before and after each outing. • Check animals, clothes and equipment often for seeds. • Don’t cultivate invasive plant species in your garden, grow native species instead. • Participate or organize a community weed pull.

The program provides: • guidance • support • resources • site evaluations • sprayer loan out • financial assistance Contact EKIPC or the RDEK for more information. Intake to the program is limited so don’t delay - apply today!

What are Invasive Plants? Invasive plants are all around us and pose a serious threat to wildlife, the economy, recreation and the environment.

Beware of Aquatic Invaders!

They are not native to North America. They are often poisonous or unpalatable to wildlife and livestock.

...Family Fishing Weekend is a great way for the whole family to spend time together with Dad,”

1-888-478-7335

Father’s Day weekend is about spending time with Dad. And what better way to have fun in the outdoors than freshwater fishing as a family. During the 16th Annual Family Fishing Weekend, held over Father’s Day weekend June 19th to 21st, Canadian families throughout the province may borrow equipment, learn more about freshwater fishing, partake in a variety of activities or simply enjoy spending time together fishing B.C.’s lakes, rivers, streams, and tidal waters. And for the duration of the weekend families may fish without needing to purchase a licence. “Whether you are learning together or spending a day enjoying a sport that you have enjoyed together for a long time Family Fishing Weekend is a great way for the whole family to spend time together with Dad,” said Michele Dusterhoft, President, Family Fishing Society of BC. “It brings novices and experts together to enjoy what the sport has to offer in a fun environment.” Hosted by The Family Fishing Society of BC and volunteer led community groups, over 50 Family Fishing Weekend events across the province will feature hands-on help for beginners and celebrate the tradition of recreational fishing in BC. Loaner rods, reels and tackle are provided for those who do not have their own gear. The Family Fishing Society estimates that 25,000 British Columbians participate in Family Fishing Weekend each year. Events will be held across the Kootenays: Nakusp - Arrow Lakes, June 20 Nelson - Cottonwood Lake, June 20 – 21 Revelstoke - Williamson Lake, June 21 Trail - Champion Lakes Provincial Park, June 20

Family Fishing Weekend is supported by the Province of B.C., Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, and federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans. “Family Fishing Weekend is designed to be as accessible as possible not only so people are able to enjoy the sport with friends and family but also to provide opportunities to learn about the fish, their environment and the importance of conservation,” says Brian Springinotic, CEO, Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation. “It reminds people that with enjoyment of the activity comes the need for responsible use, sustainable use, and stewardship of the resource to ensure many future generations will be enjoying fishing in our province.” In addition to supporting the Family fishing Weekend, Habitat Conservation Trust has been a key partner in expanding dock infrastructure to improve access to fishing in both urban and rural regions of BC. A complete list of participating communities, locations and event descriptions, along with step-by-step fishing instructions and regulations can be found at www.bcfamilyfishing.com. Freshwater and tidal fishing regulations, including daily catch quotas, still apply during Family Fishing Weekend. Details are posted at www. pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca or www.fishing.gov.bc.ca. The Family Fishing Society of BC was established in 2001 to encourage new anglers as well as promote and coordinate Family Fishing Weekend and other angling initiatives targeted toward families and young people. 2015 marks the 16th year of this licence-free fishing weekend.

Another successful Coal Miner Days celebration in Sparwood

(Right) Colton Sutherland, 5, tries out a fire hose with the help of Xenius Nielson, Initial Attack crew leader. by S. Kucharski, Fernie Free Press The annual Coal Miner Days celebration

took over the streets of Sparwood from June 11-14. Thousands of residents and visitors took

in the festivities that catered to a multitude of ages. Passing floats during the parade on Saturday

enthusiasts took in the Coal Miner Show & Shine. Other popular events included the annual slopitch baseball tournament, laser tag, local food vendors, rock climbing and bouncy castles. Despite a rainstorm that resulted in the cancellation of one of Friday’s reptile shows, organizers reworked the schedule to their advantage. “We were able to be pretty flexible when it came to the big rainstorm on Friday night,” said Coal Miner Days Society President Marcia Johnson. “We cancelled one of the reptile shows and we put the Elk Valley’s Got Talent competition inside the curling rink and we had hundreds of people attend that so I’m actually sort of glad it rained because we had that many more people show up inside to watch that happen.” The competition was the first of its kind for Coal Miner Days and had a dozen contestants

show off their skills in music, singing, harmonica players and fire juggling. Singer/guitarist Sienna Longo was the ultimate winner of the contest, claiming a $1000 cash prize. The two runners-up were Keyten Kunst who also sang and played guitar as well as Jeff Southerland who performed a feat of fire juggling. Longo donated $100 back of her winnings to the Coal Miner Days Society. “It was a well-rounded show and we had great participation from the crowd. It was a really close contest and it was so hard to name the winner,” said Johnson. Fireworks on Friday evening moved forward as the rain let up and were “sensational” according to Johnson. On Sunday, E m e r g e n c y Preparedness Day invited organizations like the Initial Attack firstresponse fire team and Sparwood Search and Rescue to inform the

public about the role they play in emergency situations and display their safety equipment. Plans are already moving forward for next year’s Coal Miner Days celebration, as it will coincide with Sparwood’s 50th Birthday. “We’ve already been discussing our plans for next year and we hope to make it bigger and better than ever,” said Johnson. Johnson said she hopes that more volunteers will register to help out with next year’s festival. “The more volunteers we have the more of Coal Miner Days they can actually see. They can do less and enjoy more of the events,” said Johnson who added the event could not have been pulled off without the work of Justine Bowen, event coordinator, and Shona Williams, media coordinator.

Things to See & Do Hugs: To the great service I received in Canadian Tire. The cashier was great and the couple who helped me out with my hanging flower baskets. I just had open heart surgery end of January and could not carry my baskets to the till or to my car. The young gentlemen carried them to my car and placed them very carefully in my trunk. A very big hug to all three! You all made my day! Hugs: To Brother’s Insurance for the great service on Saturday, May 30. You will continue to get my business! Slugs: To people that keep their cigarettes burning and in their hands when they walk into garages of peoples homes to browse garage sales. Have some courtesy and put your smoke out before you walk into enclosed spaces of people’s homes. Slugs: To Canada Post for your recent proposal to cutback hours

at the Sirdar Post Office. It was less than a year ago that you DID cut back 20% of the hours of this post office - shame on you for proposing a further 20% reduction in service hours. Hugs: A round of hugs to the staff at the Kootenay Advertiser for hosting “Hugs & Slugs”, a forum in which slugs can be delivered in a polite & diplomatic manor, rather than the older and less civilized method. Slugs: To a care taker of a certain seniors home. The yard maintenance is atrocious. It hasn’t been cleaned up at all this year, foot long grass! Hugs: To the new Cranbrook City Council. Keep up the good work. It’s not easy. Slugs: To the BC Government, BC Forestry & lumber companies. Allowing the harvest of only parts of trees & burning the rest. Shame on you. Stop destroying our resources.

Slugs: To the people who tailgate between Kimberley and Cranbrook in the mornings and after work. No wonder there are so many accidents. Slugs: To the RCMP for not stopping these tailgaters! Hugs: To highway drivers who travel in the “safe driving zone”, close to the right side white line and not the yellow center line. Slugs: To the 2 guys driving a black Toyota for stealing our kids’ helmets from the Ram Creek Hot Springs area in Skookumchuck. You went flying past our driveway like you stole something then our kids got home from their ride, for us to find out their helmets had been taken. Our son worked all summer to purchase his helmet. He had to miss his first race because he had no helmet to wear. Nothing like taking a dream away!

If you have a Hug or a Slug...we’d like to hear it. Simply email us at shannon@kootenayadvertiser.com with your short quips, compliments or complaints. We will print the anonymous submissions for all to see. Be honest, but all we ask is you keep it tasteful. Hugs and Slugs will be printed as space allows, if we miss yours check back next week and you will be bumped to the start of the list. You can also drop by a written submission to our office at 1510 2nd Street N. or call Shannon at (250)489-3455 or 1-800-665-2382

ALR reforms ease the way for new businesses square feet. Letnick said that could allow farmers to build another house for family, lodging for workers, or a rental to earn extra money to support the farm. Similarly, retiring farmers in Zone 2 will be allowed to sell the farm but lease back their farmhouse from the new farm owner, who can build another home on the property. It’s hoped that will help those retiring farmers sell their farms but encourage them to stay there and perhaps mentor a new, younger farmer, Letnick said, and meet the challenge of the coming “generational change” in agriculture. Second dwellings are still on the same parcel of land, which can’t

be subdivided without asking the ALC. More proposed reforms relating to agritourism are still being considered and are to be put to local governments for feedback in the fall. Asked if he intends to increase the ALC’s budget so it can hire more compliance and enforcement officers – just three officers patrol the entire province for violations like illegal fill dumping – Letnick said that’s under consideration. He said the ALC’s budget is now $3.4 million, up from $2 million, and potential increases will be discussed with new ALC chair Frank Leonard.

3 Facts You Need To Know About...

LNG Investment Decision... 1. Petronus, a Malaysian-led consortium is the first LNG proponent to say yes to constructing an LNG facility in NW BC. The investment is $36 billion, the largest single investment in BC’s history.

3. The Petronus decision is conditional (1) on the Province approving the agreement between BC and the company and (2) on the Government of Canada providing approval for the project. This one LNG project represents thousands of jobs and huge tax revenues to the Province. MLA Bill Bennett

farmed and a further climb in farmland prices beyond what new farmers can afford. “Some people wanted us to do more, some wanted us to do less,” Letnick said. “I firmly that believe we’ve come up with the right balance that promotes agriculture and safeguards agriculture but also provide for more opportunities for farmers to earn income on their land.” Winery restaurants in the ALR will now be allowed to serve alcohol they didn’t produce, such as beer. Some reforms apply only on farmland outside the Lower Mainland, Letnick said, because he said farmers face a tougher struggle to earn a living in areas such as the Interior, North and Kootenays. A second home can now be built on large parcels of at least 50 hectares in the ALR’s rural Zone 2 provided residential uses make up less than 43,000

FULL REFUND

Breweries, distilleries and meaderies will be allowed to open up on farmland in the Agricultural Land Reserve provided they meet the same rules set out for wineries. That’s one of a series of reforms announced by the province Monday that aim to make it easier for farmers to set up agricultural processing plants and otherwise earn more money from their land. As with wineries in the ALR, at least half the farm ingredients that go into the beer, spirits or mead must be grown on the farm. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick noted hops farming is on an upswing in areas such as Chilliwack and Kamloops, and predicts the rule change will create an incentive for more farmers to take a risk and get into beverage production. “If that means you

can enjoy some mead or some beer on a piece of farmland and that’s what it takes to get that farmland back into production, I’m okay with that,” Letnick said in an interview at an herb farm in Surrey. ALR land can also now be leased for farming without applying to the Agricultural Land Commission – a move the province hopes gets more unused land into production. Another rule change will make value-added processing easier by letting farms band together as co-ops and count all their members’ crops toward meeting the same 50 per cent local content rule. That’s expected to allow clusters of farms to feed into a plant in the ALR that makes something like juice or jam without seeking ALC approval. Metro Vancouver previously registered concern that looser rules for non-farm uses may result in less land being

2. The company’s final decision is based on the BC Government’s commitment to support the creation of this exciting new industry, despite opposition from the NDP to the extraction of natural gas in NE BC. Without gas extraction, we cannot have an LNG industry.

The time commitment ranges from two to four hours weekly during the months leading up to the National Run Day, which is on Sunday, September 20th this year. Whether as a couple or individual, the volunteer Run Organizer will always be assisted by the Terry Fox Foundation in the planning process, and given the resources to make it a success. “The Terry Fox Run is a 35 year tradition in Canada with over 700 communities participating each year from coast to coast. With our theme this year of “A dream as big as our country”, it leaves no question that the people of Wasa would love to once again be a part of this dream,” says Donna White, Provincial Director for the Terry Fox Foundation British Columbia and Yukon. The Terry Fox Foundation stands out from other charities in that 84 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to cancer research initiatives. The Run, an allinclusive, family-oriented activity, charges no entry fee or minimum pledge amount. see Terry Fox page 27

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has released its report for 2014. The scientiďŹ c consensus of that report is clear and overwhelming. Climate change is now set to have a severe, widespread impact on people and nature. Our grandchildren face very uncertain futures. As elders in our society, we, the undersigned, present this petition. Its message is simple. We are concerned about our grandchildren. We call for immediate, effective action to reduce Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greenhouse gas emissions. We encourage grandparents across the land to speak up for their grandchildren, and to vote for politicians committed to making Canada a leader in the struggle to limit global climate change. ,Q OLJKW RI WKH FRPLQJ IHGHUDO HOHFWLRQ ZH DUH VHQGLQJ WKLV SHWLWLRQ WR HDFK RI WKH IHGHUDO SROLWLFDO SDUWLHV DQG ZH UHTXHVW WKHLU XQHTXLYRFDO UHVSRQVH LGHQWLI\LQJ FOLPDWH DFWLRQ SROLFLHV WKH\ ZRXOG LPSOHPHQW :H XUJH \RX RXU IHOORZ %ULWLVK &ROXPELDQV WR WDNH XS WKH FDXVH RI JUHHQKRXVH JDV UHGXFWLRQ
