Earth Day Clean Up

by Annam Kaur Brar Mrs. Baird’s Class

One Sunday afternoon, Maya and Tom were watching TV at home. Maya had brown eyes and blonde hair. Tom had black hair with blue eyes. Tom asked Maya if she wanted to secretly go to Forest World. Maya replied, “Oh, yes!”

Maya and Tom unlocked the entrance door, and Maya and Tom went in. They locked the entrance door behind them.

Maya and Tom shivered. “We need our jackets,” said Tom. “We are late! Forest World is closing in 20 minutes!” replied Maya, as she ran off to Forest World. Tom caught up to her, as Maya reached Forest World. As they went in, they saw everything was frosty. They saw so much trash, too! There were cans, milk cans, and juice boxes everywhere! First, they went home and lied to Mom. They told her that the TV said that Forest World was polluted. They wanted to clean up Forest World. They asked if Mom could help clean it up. Mom was putting dirty clothes in the washing machine. “I have no time! I’m always doing chores!” Mom told them. “Don’t ask me again!” she scolded. Second, Maya quickly stole

Mom’s phone from the pocket of her fuzzy coat. Maya and Tom ran back to Forest World. Maya called her best friend Ruby. Maya asked Ruby if she could help them clean up. Ruby said, “I’m in Mexico!” “Oh! Sorry!” Maya replied. Third, Maya told Tom that they should try to clean it up on their own. Tom said, “Sure!” Maya and Tom cleaned almost all of it up until Tom and Maya were so tired. Finally, a seagull came flying toward them and perched on an apple tree’s branch. It told them to clean up a little bit every day. “Today, you guys cleaned up enough. Go home and rest. Come again tomorrow. Then clean the same amount you did today. Do this again and again until everything is clean and shiny.”

The seagull flew away. Maya and Tom did what they were told. They came again day after day. After seven days, every single plant was clean. The same seagull came and perched on the same tree. Maya and Tom said, “Thanks,” as the seagull said, “You’re welcome.” The seagull flew away. Maya and Tom lived and played happily ever after.

Pamper your mom this Mother’s Day

(NC) Mother's Day is an opportunity to show her how truly thankful we are for everything she has done. Sometimes though, simple flowers or chocolates just don't cut it when you want to say a real thank you. This Mother's Day instead, show her you care by pampering her with one of these more original ideas, all of which will make her feel amazing while also keeping her happy and healthy:

You are what you eat. Nothing says I love you like I want you to be healthy. This year, treat your mom to a consultation with a holistic nutritionist. She will be amazed at the incredible impact nutrition and lifestyle changes will have. From digestive problems, to high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, anxiety or depression, a carefully constructed, individualized program by a holistic nutritionist will give your mom the inspiration, motivation, and guidance she needs to make long lasting healthy changes.

Like a breath of fresh air. Skip a fatty Sunday brunch and escape the hustle and bustle of the city by taking a short

drive to the country. Visit a farm that offers guided tours or fruit picking and enjoy the day together. Some organic farms also have onsite restaurants that offer delicious, gourmet, organic meals. A daytrip to the country with mom will make her feel energized and she will be happy that you chose to spend the day with her.

Give her the gift of natural health. Studies suggest that, despite maintaining a healthy and balanced diet, older women are particularly prone to nutritional deficiencies. To make up for these shortfalls in their diet, some doctors recommend that older women take supplements such as calcium, vitamin D, probiotics and omega 3s. Visit a local natural health retailer and purchase a gift card for your mother to stock up on some of these essential vitamins and minerals. Helpful and knowledgeable staff can help guide her and answer her questions. To locate the nearest natural health retailer and for more tips, visit the Canadian Health Food Association's website at chfa.ca.

The new student spaces are possible through a provincial three-year investment of $74.7 million. The spaces and supporting investment are included in the StrongerBC: Future Ready Action Plan, which is working to accelerate talent development and skills training to address workforce challenges across all sectors and throughout B.C.

“We’re facing an enormous challenge –our economy is changing, workplaces are transforming, and we have more job openings in growing and in-demand fields than we have the skilled workers ready to fill them,” said Selina Robinson, Minister of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills. “People with technological skills and knowledge are in high demand within nearly every sector – from agriculture to manufacturing. That’s why we are excited to add 3,000 more tech-relevant spaces for people to learn, grow and thrive in these in-demand jobs.”

Over the next decade, B.C. needs a large and diverse pool of people with the technological skills and knowledge to fill the current and future job openings expected. Post-secondary education and skills training plays an invaluable role in closing the skills gap, supporting economic sustainability and growth in the province.

“The biggest challenge we are hearing from businesses is finding the skilled labour they need,” said Brenda Bailey, Minister of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation. “Through this investment, people will have better access to the technological education and skills training they need for rewarding careers, ensuring employers are able to find the world-class talent they need to

grow and prosper in B.C.”

Some of the new technology-relevant spaces will be open to enrolment as soon as September 2023, with others to follow in subsequent years. Through the creation of these spaces, more students will have access to a wide range of responsive programming – from certificates and diplomas to degrees – giving people the flexibility to find a path that works for them and B.C. employers.

“Having had the opportunity to experience incredible hands-on learning at TRIUMF, I am excited that even more students will get work experience at innovative institutions in the tech space,” said Nicolas Fedrigo, a life sciences mechatronic engineering co-op student at TRIUMF, Canada’s particle accelerator centre. “The invaluable learning experiences and supportive environment at TRIUMF have been instrumental in helping me discover career aspirations that I am truly passionate about.”

The StrongerBC: Future Ready Action Plan released May 2, 2023, is a crossgovernment plan that will help make education and training more accessible, affordable and relevant to help prepare the people of B.C. for the jobs of today and tomorrow. The action plan is supported by a provincial investment of $480 million over three years.

Why every mother needs a time-out

(NC) Mothers are so busy taking care of everyone else, they often put themselves last on the list for me-time. Here are some simple ideas to nurture and pamper busy moms this Mother’s Day to keep that inner spark glowing: Home spa: A woman deserves to be pampered, but she doesn't always have the time or budget to get away for some spa time. Why not turn your bathroom into a home spa to help you enjoy the relaxation and beauty benefits of a sublime soak?

Pursue hobbies: A few hours of pure creative engagement apart from the family (think art class, photography or a pottery workshop) can recharge your batteries.

Volunteer: Volunteering is another way to nurture your interests and connect

with other people. This is especially valuable for stay-at-home moms who may want some extra connection. Find a cause you're passionate about, or get involved with a local organization like Children Believe and help improve the lives of children and mothers living in poverty around the world.

Build your support network: Who's on your speed dial? Develop a set of close connections you can depend on in a pinch, and vice versa.

Most professionals agree that it's important for mothers to aim for balance in their lives. Taking care of yourself, for example, will not only give you time away from your loved ones to reflect and appreciate, but will add vitality and reduce stress. Your entire family will benefit.

Saiyami pledges support for young female athletes

Actress Saiyami Kher has pledged to support young female athletes. The actress said she wants to do her bit for the girls who want to pursue sports. The actress, who will be seen playing a para athlete in the upcoming movie Ghoomer, said: “I have always wished to do something for girls in sports and I am trying to do my bit. I am very glad that there is so much being done for women in sport now. At this point, even if my involvement is in a small way, I believe every drop in the ocean counts.” “Kavita Raut (India's long distance runner) was sponsored first by an NGO started by my parents in Nasik. And I feel so proud to see all that she’s achieved. Just feel that if I can contribute to helping young female athletes achieve their dreams, I would be very happy,” the actress said. She added: “The last three years I have helped a vegetable vendor’s daughter to complete her engineering in electrical and telecommunications and will be helping young individual female athletes in my capacity. I hope I come to a point to start my own organisation because this is something very close to my heart.”

Nushrratt glad to find her dating rumours

Actress Nushrratt Bharuccha is finally in the news for her dating rumours, and she is actually glad to see this. Lately, there have been rumours about the actress dating singer and pop star Yo Yo Honey Singh. She has now broken her silence on the issue and, at the same time, expressed happiness over it. Speaking to a news portal, Nushrratt said, “You know what? This is my life’s first dating rumour. Everywhere that I have been, there has been no rumour. Also, because I have never been with anyone. When this came, I was like, ‘Wow, I finally have one’. Now when people ask me these questions in rapid fire, I can at least tell them that I too had a dating rumour.” Explaining further why she has no issues with the rumours, the Dream Girl actress, who also starred in Honey Singh’s music video Saiyaan Ji in 2021, said, “I think people have no work in life and they also have a great imagination. So, keep them coming I have no problem.” The buzz about her dating Honey Singh went into overdrive last month when the two were spotted at the airport holding hands.

Veteran actor Manoj Bajpayee met his wife and actress Shabana Raza in the 90s, and they tied the knot in 2006. They have a daughter, Ava Nayla. Recently, when Manoj was asked about the secret to a happy married life, The Family Man actor said that one needs to put their partner’s needs before their own in order to sustain a relationship. In a chat show, Manoj insisted that there is no secret since every day is a new day and

marriage’

every day one has to try to correct and improve themselves when it comes to understanding the other person. He added that love alone cannot sustain a marriage. Talking about how he manages to have fewer quarrels and fires, the actor said, “One needs to shed everything about themselves, including one’s ego and insecurity. When one person keeps putting themselves first, this is where things start to go wrong. If one thinks that the other person should not ignore certain things, then they have to talk it out in a calmer way, which helps in solving the problem.” Manoj then added that practicing meditation has helped him in his marriage and made him a better husband, father, son, and friend.

SONAKSHI KEEN TO PLAY REAL WOMEN SONAKSHI KEEN TO PLAY REAL WOMEN

Actress Sonakshi Sinha will soon be donning the role of a cop in her upcoming series Dahaad, where she tries to solve the peculiar case of a middle-aged serial killer who is on the run. Recently, she spoke about the female-centric role of a cop and how it is different from Chulbul Pandey’s from Dabangg. Narrating the gist of the character, she said, “Why should guys have all the fun? I think it is about time that we started representing real women, strong women, honestly. There are so many stories to be told, and this was just one such story that

came to me and I think I got really lucky with this one. As an actor, very rarely do you get roles that just hit you bang in the face and you are like, you have to do it.” Describing the difference between her role and the character of Chulbul Pandey, she adds, “As a cop, I think it is very different from a Chulbul Pandey type of cop. Like ma’am (Ex-IPS Officer Dr Meeran Chadha Borwarkar) said, her character is very real. She is very raw. She knows what she’s doing and she knows what she wants—to get justice, no matter what it is.”

Ranbir believes Hindi cinema lacks audience understanding

Tamasha actor Ranbir Kapoor recently shared his views on the current state of the Hindi film industry as he expressed his concern about the ‘lack of audience’s understanding’. The industry has been seeing a steady increase in lacklustre compared to OTT, foreign and South Indian movies. While speaking of Hindi cinema in an e-meet, the actor asserted, “I think what’s lacking in the Hindi film industry is really knowing your audience. I think somewhere in the last 10–20 years, the Hindi film industry has been quite confused and influenced by Western culture, by Western films, and by

remakes. There are very few actors and actresses in the industry, who are not giving new people people an opportunity, like new directors and new minds. And I think it’s very important to actually give them the opportunity because that’s when the change happens. That’s when new minds come in and new stories are told. So I hope that happens.”

Additionally, Ranbir praised the Malayalam film industry for producing engaging stories beyond the typical masala cinema and shared his thoughts on the current trend of solid commercial blockbusters in the South Indian film industry.

Abbotsford's Manwinder Sandhu Named U17 AAA All-Star in BC Elite Hockey League

Manwinder Sandhu, a 16-year-old from Abbotsford, has recently been named a U17 AAA all-star for his impressive performance in the British Columbia Elite Hockey League. Sandhu finished the season with 55 points (18 goals and 37 assists) in 36 games, tying for second in the league in scoring. He was also among the league's top performers in power play points and game-winning goals.

Sandhu, who plays centre position, began playing hockey at the age of 5, when his father introduced him to the sport. Though it was his dad's idea, Sandhu quickly fell in love with the game after attending his first hockey practice. He has since dedicated himself to the sport and has had to make sacrifices to maintain good grades in school. On days that he has longer hockey practices, Sandhu stays up later at night to do homework.

Sandhu's hard work has certainly paid off, as he was a key player in helping his team, the Fraser Valley

Thunderbirds, finish first in the regular season with a record of 28-6-1-1. The Thunderbirds advanced to the U17 championship final, where they unfortunately lost the best-of-three series 2-1 to the Okanagan Rockets. Sandhu's success on the ice has also inspired his two younger brothers to follow in his footsteps and take up hockey. His advice to other young athletes is to keep a balance between school and sport, but to keep going. Sandhu himself hopes to play college-level hockey next, a dream that he is certainly capable of achieving with his talent and dedication to the game.

In addition to Sandhu, Thunderbirds goalie Jake Torget was also named a U17 all-star, as he led the league in wins, goals against average, and shutouts. Forward Deegan Holding also earned an all-star nod on the U15 AAA team, finishing second in the league in scoring. Together, these players showcase the impressive talent that the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds have to offer.
