Beekeeping Seminar un-bee-liveable learning experience Following a motion brought forward by representatives from Tourism Kamloops, B.C. Wildlife Park and Communities in Bloom, Kamloops City Hall recently unanimously approved a motion to elect Kamloops a bee-friendly city. As the first city in B.C.—and the third city in Canada following the footsteps of Toronto, Ontario and Chestermere, Alberta, Kamloops will be working with local businesses and community organizations to create healthy ecosystems for bees. The focus is now on the increase of more green spaces throughout the area. The Wildlife Park will plant a pollinator garden next to its beehive this spring and Tourism Kamloops plans to plant an edible garden at the visitor center. As part of the BIG Little Science Centre Speaker’s Lecture Series, An Introduction to Honeybees and Beekeeping will be held at the BLSC on Wednesday, March 29 at 7 p.m. Speaker and bee expert Joanne Nicklas and her husband, Gord, will explain food production and the role of honeybees. Joanne and Gord are hobby beekeepers and will be discussing urban beekeeping and will share their extensive beekeeping experiences and knowledge. Along with the presentation, there will be a Langstroth hive to view and explore. There will be a question session to follow.
The seminar is free and open to all age groups; the facility is wheelchair accessible. Doors open at 6:30p.m. Refreshments will be served. According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), almost 90% of wild plant species and over 75% of crops used for food depends partly on pollination. The western honeybee is the most widespread managed pollinator in the world, producing an estimated 1.6 million tons of honey annually. Scientists have noted the decline in wild bees and other wild pollinators, particularly in North-Western Europe and North America. The number of western honeybee hives has almost doubled in the last 50 years, but Europe and North America have seen “severe declines.” Over 40% of invertebrate pollinators (bees, butterflies, midges) along with 16.5% of vertebrate pollinators (bats and birds) are threatened with global extinction. Pollinators are struggling globally, and a decline in numbers means significant consequences for food production. Bee decline is due to habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change, the spread of diseases and a lack of diverse pollen and nectar-rich flowers to feed on. Through educational initiatives and efforts the pollination population can thrive. There is a number of ways to improve life for bees and butterflies. WEF recommends creating wild corridors to connect islands of wild- continued on page 2

Interior Health awards contract for new residential care beds After a thorough procurement process, Interior Health has awarded a contract for the development of 48 residential care beds in Kamloops to H&H Total Care Services Inc. “This is another important investment in seniors care for our community and I’m pleased to see the project moving forward,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “Expansion of residential care services is crucial as we need to make sure the proper supports are in place for the growing and aging population, especially those with complex care needs.” “Residential care plays a vital role in the care continuum, supporting those who need 24-hour care,” said Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd
Stone. “It’s great to see the next step taking place towards getting the new beds in place.” The RFPs called for building environments that are homelike and not institutional-feeling; safe for residents and staff; innovatively designed and flexible in function; operationally efficient; environmentally responsible in design, construction and operations; and include dementiafriendly elements. “Our population is aging and becoming more medically complex. Conditions such as dementia are on the rise,” said Interior Health Board Chair John O’Fee. “The addition of 243 beds across Interior Health will benefit seniors and others who need
around-the-clock care.” The RFP sought proposals from operators with experience in residential care project development and operation and seniors care, with consideration of First Nations engagement and cultural safety. H&H will expand its current property at The Hamlets to include the additional beds, which are expected to open in summer 2018. “H&H are excited about the opportunity to grow our partnership with Interior Health in supporting and strengthening the Westsyde community of Kamloops with the planned expansion of The Hamlets at Westsyde,” said Andre Van Ryk, CEO and CFO of H&H. Interior Health currently
has 5,750 residential care beds, providing 24/7 care and support for individuals with complex care needs who are no longer able to live at home independently or with supports. This includes frail and elderly individuals with chronic conditions, such as those with dementia, whose needs may change over time. Interior Health’s plan for residential care services supports the Ministry of Health’s strategic direction, which focuses on a more integrated system of primary and community care that better meets the needs of patients, including seniors with frailty and complex medical conditions.

Hydro crews will hit the streets once again this year to replace 159 aging power poles in Kamloops. The work is part of BC Hydro’s ongoing maintenance program that will see the replacement of more than 10,000 wooden distribution poles over the next few months across the province. Power poles are kind of like people. After about 40-50 years of work, on average, they are ready to retire. Adverse weather, insects and wildlife all contribute to the deterioration of the poles over time. BC Hydro maintains and operates a vast and complex electrical system in B.C., which includes 900,000 wooden poles that hold more than 58,000 kilometres of overhead distribution lines and 278,000 overhead transformers. Replacing power poles is one of the investments BC Hydro is making in aging infrastructure to improve the safety and reliability of the electricity system. To ensure the safety of our crews and the public, BC Hydro may need to disconnect power when replacing power poles. Crews will notify customers in-person, by mail or phone about these scheduled outages for maintenance. For more information, contact BC Hydro by telephone at 1-800-BCHYDRO (224-9376)

A Kamloops physician is teaming up with community partners as well as families whose lives have been changed by the Fentanyl crisis to provide Kamloops-specific information on the dangers of opioid addiction and make Naloxone kits available to community members in order to reduce opioidrelated deaths. In response to the growing concern around opioids, specifically fentanyl, and the rapid increase in overdose rates in British Columbia, Dr. Mandy Manak of the Interior Chemical Dependency Office is hosting a Fentanyl Forum at Thompson Rivers University on Thursday, March 30th, 2017, from 7:00pm9:00pm in the Barber Centre, House of Learning. Speakers will discuss a range of fentanyl topics including what are fentanyl and carfentanil, why they are so addictive, why they are dangerous, how prevalent they
are, and how they can impact even recreational users and their families. Speakers will also highlight where patients as well as family and friends can get help. The forum will be an open conversation that will provide an opportunity for members of the community to ask questions and interact with the speakers, as well as providing local resources for follow up. The evening will wrap up with training on how to use Naloxone Kits, and a free Naloxone Kit to all those who may like one. This is an important information session and they hope for a strong turnout from the public. The forum is suitable for persons aged 13 and older. For further information or to arrange a dialogue, contact: Cory Slater, Substance Abuse Professional at Interior Chemical Dependency Office at 778-257-6411.

1/8 NORTH SHORE ECHO
ECHO STARGAZER DEAR ARIES: (Mar. 21 - April 20) Money takes center-stage, as a financial situation requires personal attention. An aggressive attitude and fast thinking saves the day. You’re made for this so go get ‘em. DEAR TAURUS: (Apr. 21 - May 21) Love may not currently be in the stars but that shouldn’t stop you from trying. Put on your best dress and put yourself first. It’s not selfish to believe in yourself. DEAR GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21) You’re more than halfway to resolving a situation you might not realize you’ve been involved in. It only takes one side to argue. Let them talk to the hand. DEAR CANCER: (June 22 - July 22) Friends raise a jealous eye as sirens echo through the land of love. Push through all high profile projects. The bosses are watching and they’re impressed. DEAR LEO: (July 23 - Aug 22) Step out with confidence and let your fans feel the warmth of your roar. Toes will be stepped on as you ascend through the ranks but it’s your destiny and it’s well within reach. Love is waiting for your call. DEAR VIRGO: (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) It’s time to raise your vibration. Spirituality and the larger picture fill your mind with a new adventure. Distant lands hear your call. DEAR LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) Partners let you down as a joint project fails to impress. Second efforts are required but you’re more than ready to take the lead. Love wants to be seen. DEAR SCORPIO: (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) After burning the candle at both ends you realize it’s either time to prioritize your schedule or get more candles. Love takes an aggressive stance but you’re more than ready the answer the call. Close your eyes to distractive noises and let love guide your adventure. DEAR SAGITTARIUS: (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You’re finally in the mood for a romantic adventure but the phone is ringing and the office needs your attention. There’s no way to avoid personal responsibilities so plan ahead and keep those feet moving. It’s time to call home. DEAR CAPRICORN: (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) Home is where the cheques are so check the mail and search the back of kitchen drawers for forgotten money. House prices or rent on that new apartment are better than expected. Don’t fight with the kids. DEAR AQUARIUS: (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) You’re vibrant, personable, and ready to save the day. Fans receive your offer with better than expected enthusiasm. Be on alert for clogged drains and leaky pipes. DEAR PISCES: (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) With your New Year festivities put to bed for another year it’s time to hit your stride financially. Money is good but your words aren’t. Make that sale but false promises will return to haunt you. Astro-week Sonnyscopes courtesy of Collin Sonny Rosati, Vancouver Astrologer, Hypnotist. For personal readings visit thesunnyside.net.
No pets allowed! Two men, Jim and John, were walking their dogs when they passed by a restaurant. “Let’s go in and get something to eat,” Jim suggested. “We can’t” responded John, “don’t you see the sign says NO PETS ALLOWED.” “Aah that sign,” said Jim “don’t worry about it” and taking out a pair of sunglasses, he walked up to the door. As he tried walking into the restaurant he got stopped at the door, “sorry no pets allowed.” “Can’t you see” said Jim “I am blind, this is my seeing eye dog.” But it’s a doberman pincher, who uses a doberman pincher as a seeing eye dog?” the man asked “Oh,” Jim responded “you must have not heard, this is the latest type of seeing eye dog, they do a very good job.” Seeing that it worked, John tried walking in with his Chihuahua. Even before he could open his mouth, the doorman said “don’t tell me that a Chihuahua is the latest type of seeing eye dog.” Thinking quickly John responded in a angry voice “You mean they gave me a Chihuahua?”
