The draft Five-Year Financial Plan has been presented to the RDEK Board of Directors and we are now inviting public comment on the Plan.

“The Financial Plan lays out a very specific budget for 2014 and a more general forecast for the years 2015-2018,” explains RDEK Chief Financial Officer Shawn Tomlin. “Currently, the 2014 budget includes expenditures of just over $24.5 million dollars, which represents an overall decrease of 0.7%” Copies of the FiveYear Financial Plan and comment forms are available for viewing on the RDEK’s website (www.rdek.bc.ca), and at both the Cranbrook and Columbia Valley RDEK offices. The

RDEK will also be posting a series of short videos that provide a general overview of the 2014 budget, along with a more specific look at how the proposed budget impacts each Electoral Area.

“If people have comments or questions about the Plan, we would like to hear from them,” adds Tomlin. “This presents an opportunity for discussion about the Plan and the RDEK’s direction for the coming year to five years.”

Staff continue to meet with elected officials, and other groups and organizations around the region as part of the consultation. Public comments will be received until 4:30 p.m. on Friday, February 28th.

RCMP seeking white VW Kimberley RCMP are searching for a white VW (likely Rabbit or Golf) after a collision Tuesday night on Wallinger Ave. The VW was coming down Overwaitea hill when the driver lost control; the vehicle crossed the centerline and collided with a Toyota Rav. Both drivers stopped but then the driver of the white VW drove away prior to exchanging details. The grill from the VW came off in the collision and was found at the scene. The collision took place on Tuesday, February 18, around 7:30 p.m.

Police are asking for assistance in locating the vehicle involved.

The VW sustained damage to the front and does not have a grill.

If anybody sees a vehicle fitting the description they are asked to contact the Kimberley RCMP at 250-4274811, with the location and license number.

Nomination forms are available on the RDEK website (www.rdek.bc.ca) and can be picked up at the Cranbrook and Columbia Valley RDEK offices.

Three Different Looks at Fisher Peak Townhomes Light, medium or dark….which interior home design finish do you prefer?

For a limited time, Fisher Peak Townhomes by New Dawn Developments is offering brand new, fully finished townhomes in three different interior design finishes.

Sherry Graburn, Design Lead for New Dawn Developments explains, “We have five units completed and ready for immediate possession.”

“Two of the units are finished in a Light and Airy Theme with crisp white cabinets, cool watery glass backsplash tile and grey plank floors.

Chrome light fixtures add even more sparkle and black granite counters help

ground the space.”

“Another two units are finished in a French Country Theme with medium tone wood cabinets, glass and stone mix backsplash tile and warm brown plank flooring. Oil Rubbed Bronze light fixtures and rich granite counters complete the look.”

Only one unit is available in the Urban Contemporary Theme as Graburn describes, “Dark grey cabinets, smoky grey glass backsplash tile and Satin Nickel light fixtures all combine for the contemporary look. Grey tones continue in the thick granite counters and sleek plank flooring.”

All units come complete with an attached garage, 3 bedrooms, Stain-

less Steel GE Appliances, window coverings and a developed lower level walk out.

“Fisher Peak was designed to offer the best in style at an affordable starting price of only $259,000 including GST!” exclaimed Graburn.

Heat pumps are another wonderful addition to the units.

Graburn says, “Heat Pumps provide air conditioning in the hot months and help decrease heating costs in the cool months.

Paired with a 95% efficient natural gas furnace, heat pumps create a hybrid comfort system for greater efficiency in all seasons.”

Unit number 10 is the new showhome in Fisher Peak Townhomes and it is fully fur-

nished and decorated for viewing.

Call New Dawn Developments and come see which interior finish you prefer.

Wonderful women will wow Fernie on International Women’s Day Submitted

Over 100 women from the Elk Valley will gather together to take part in numerous and varied workshops and to hear inspirational women from the business, academic and health world speak in a day of sharing, empowerment and enlightenment on International Women’s Day (IWD), Saturday March 8th Goddess Rising will take place at Fernie Secondary School, Saturday March 8th 10am-5.30pm with guest speakers, some of which include Melanie Jeannotte who featured in Calgary’s 40 under 40 entrepreneurs, Lana Wells of The University of Calgary and Laura Wershler from the Society for Menstrual Research . The event will also involve a range of workshops designed

to unite and enhance the women’s cultural and educational experiences; consisting of wine tasting, money management, yoga, felting, photography and life coaching.

The afternoon will offer an affordable light lunch and refreshments, as well as a musical performance by Britt Meierhoffer – aka Goodnightmares Rachel Cline, one of the organizers said, “I am so excited to be involved in this event for the second year running. We listened to the feedback from the women of the Elk Valley and have added more pampering sessions such as massage and mani and pedi’s as well as the very popular tarot readings’.

Following the success of last years event we are keeping this free (door donations to local women’s groups) how-

ever we strongly suggest that people register for the workshops and the pampering sessions ahead of time, as spaces are limited. This can be done at our website, http://goddessrisingfernie.blogspot.ca/ Tanya Malcolm the other event organizer said, “The other very exciting new aspect of this years event is that the silent auction is being run on line in advance of the event, however you will need to be there on the day to ensure you make the winning bid. The Facebook page holds all the details of what prizes are on offer and how much to bid. We have amazing offers from many restaurants in Fernie, photographers, retail and services.”

IWD was founded in 1910 and now takes place in countries throughout the world

with thousands of events on every continent and a global collective of women taking part. It was designed as a strategy to promote equal rights and suf-

Q: What is it like for a woman in your field?

A: When I started there was only one other female photographer in my city. Back then, there was always a female assistant. When I started everyone was surprised that I made the leap to photography.

Now women outnumber men in our field.

Q: What is the best part of what you do?

A: The look on someone’s face when they pick up their portrait.

When they see it and see we have captured their essence. Pictures are forever. The images I create today, someone will sit down and in 50 years talk about it with their grandchildren.

Seeking Input into the 2014/2015 Annual Budget

Building a playground The Aqamnik School is currently trying to raise funds for a much needed playground.

The school, having been recently constructed has no playground.

Having tried and been unsuccessful at attaining an Aviva Fund grant for the playground, the students are selling bulbs, plants and seeds from the Vesey Fundraising Program.

The school earns 50 per cent of everything it sells.

All you have to do is fill out the order form with the buyers name and address and get a cheque made out to St. Mary̓s Indian Band for the total amount.

You can also pay with debit card or cash at the school. Please return orders by April 1st.

You will receive your order in early May. The school is also raising awareness in other ways, having a youtube channel where they post fun videos outlining the need and how far staff are ready to go to get the playground. You can visit the Kootenay Advertiser’s website for a link to the channel.

For more information on how you can help, contact Lynne Davis, school secretary at ldavis@aqam.net or call 250-489-5183.

Are you toxic?

Each year billions of pounds of toxic compounds are released into the environment and despite our awareness and efforts to protect ourselves, these compounds end up in our food, air, water and, of course, in us. Persistent organic pollutants (POP's) are compounds that are produced through industrial processes that do not degrade in the environment.

Small exposures over time build up in tissues and have been shown to impair liver function and contribute to fatty liver by researchers at the School of Public Health in Minnesota. A publication in the Journal of the American Medical Association linked bisphenol A (a chemical used to make plastics and white dental fillings) to metabolic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Chronic low grade exposure to herbicides have been shown to cause mitochondrial damage leading to insulin resistance and an increased risk for type II diabetes and heavy metals have been known for years to increase the risk for a variety of diseases.

Long before disease sets in

the body typically begins to express symptoms associated with these types of toxins and a simple questionnaire can give clues to the degree of toxins in your system (contact our office for one such questionnaire).

Fatigue, brain fog, aches and pains, depression, bloating and poor sleep are clues of toxicity. Under normal circumstances your body is able to rid itself of these unwanted toxins.

Sometimes, however, the exposure is too great or the body’s ability to clear these toxins is limited and they build up to dangerous levels and begin to cause health problems. Your diet plays a key role in both your exposure to toxins and your ability to clear them and eating a diet rich in organic vegetables and fruit is the best place to start. For added help you can use welldesigned detoxification systems that enhance your body's natural detoxification processes while also giving enough nutrition for regular daily activities.

Support your detoxification pathways and experience more energy, clearer thinking and improved sleep.

Jacob Smaldon May 4, 1976 – February 22, 2007 Sunrise, sunset swiftly flow the days, Sunrise, sunset swiftly fly the years, One season following another, Laden with happiness and tears.

These words speak to our hearts because they are truth. When our beautiful Jacob died 7 years ago, we felt like time would stand still, waiting for us to catch our breath. But, alas time waits for no man and the sun did rise and the sun did set. And the seasons were indeed filled with both happiness and tears. Truth be told.

It has been seven years since we lost our Jake.

Seven years of his absence.

This year, we want to talk about his life. We want to share all the funny things he said and did. We want to tell everyone about the night he backed into a tree with his mom’s car and told her it was a hit and run. We want to giggle when we pulled the bark and branches off the back bumper and we want to remember the look on his face when he had to re-tell his story again.

We want to share with everyone how he dressed up as E.T. at Ashley’s birthday party and terrified all of the six-year-old girls in their party dresses. We want to share the time we needed a female partner for a mixed doubles tournament and he dressed up as a woman and played a great game of tennis. We ache for people to know about his skills as a chef -- the magic he brought to many a meal or late night snack. To tell you about the hundreds of times we would find him sleeping on the couch in front of ‘Food Network’ or on other occasions another channel he should not have been on!

We want to remember his laugh, his teasing, his crazy brown and blue eyes, his noisy truck, his big bear hugs. Remembering his love for his siblings, his joy in talking to the elderly and less fortunate.

When Jake left to go up north he set off on his infectious journey of developing new friends. When we see those friends coming onto Facebook early in February saying they miss him now seven years later, we are appreciative. The impact he had on others speaks volumes about the amazing boy and man he was.

We are grateful for his love and his life. Lest we not forget we must keep his memory alive. We are eternally grateful that we had 31 years with his love. Life will never be the same, and it is changing always.

Your loving family

The Corolla is sold in several different trim levels, starting at $15,995 to get the base CE, but the reality is that most Canadians will upgrade to the $19,215 S (Sport) or the LE for $19,500. To upgrade to this $20,500 LE Eco model is $1,035 over the S model and $750 over the regular LE. I prefer the S trim for its more aggressive 17-inch wheels compared to the LE and LE Eco, which come with smaller 16-inch wheels.

T:11"

Honda introduced the world’s first hot-hybrid-hatch with the launch of its CR-Z for the 2011 model year.

The CR-Z is a stylish, driverfocused, small two-seat hatchback that’s fun-to-drive, and it offers great fuel economy. It’s a contemporary take on an older (last sold in 1991) and much loved pocket-rocket called the Honda CRX, Reliability has been outstanding and the CR-Z’s resale value on the used market is above average, a nice bonus for owners.

It is based on a chassis shared with the Honda Fit, an undeniably more practical (with seats for 4/5) vehicle option that lacks the style and sporty appeal of the CR-Z. Under its wedge-like aerodynamic design is a lightweight yet rigid structure. Its tapering roofline leads to an abrupt tail end with a double-window rear hatch. While the secondary lower glass panel does provide a driver some addition rear vision, overall rearward sightlines are still a drawback.

The suspension is also on the firm side and combined with its short wheelbase uneven road surfaces can make the ride choppy.

The sport theme continues on the inside with bucket-style seats that offer more side support on both the seatback and cushion. It also comes with large storage bins in the rear (instead of seats) that are covered by a drop-down cargo area divider when expanded trunk space is needed.

Under hood, there is a 1.5-litre i-VTEC four-cylinder gas engine that’s teamed with Honda’s compact (10-kilowatt) Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system to provide a maximum of 122 horsepower @ 6000

rpm. It’s essentially the same (mild-hybrid) drive system that’s also used in the Honda Insight and Honda Civic Hybrid.

City/ highway fuel economy (with auto) is rated at 5.6/5.0 L/100km.

The CR-Z, however, does offer two unique hybrid-drive differences. A six-speed manual transmission option being the first and a three-mode operational feature, which allows a driver to choose between Sport, Normal or Econ (Economy) driving styles, the second.

The automatic option is a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters that provide seven-speed sequential gear-ratio control. The sport mode has to be selected to use the paddle shifters, but it’s an impressively quick acting feature that’s fun to use.

The Econ mode “smoothes” throttle inputs but will still kick down the transmission and give full throttle if the driver floors the gas pedal. It also dampens steering response, air conditioning use and activates the idle stop/start feature sooner, which is a big fuel saver in stop-and-go city driving. Normal mode is a middle-blend of the Sport and Econ modes.

No significant changes were made to CR-Z for the 2012 model year, other than vehicles with a red exterior could be ordered with black seat fabric.

The 2013 CR-Z did get a few updates, including a more powerful battery pack, a standard reverse camera and Bluetooth. It was also offered in a Premium trim edition.

A Honda legend returns with a modern twist, the Honda CR-Z offers agile handling and a more engaging driving experience than previously available in a small hybrid vehicle.

Fun cars for singles under $30,000 This pint-sized two-door might look somewhat cutesy, but the terrestrial arachnid badging denotes otherwise.

Turn the ignition on and the rumble of the dual exhaust comes to life. It’s anything but tame in tone. Put the five-speed, heavy duty manual transmission into gear and hopefully you’ll be able to make good use of the 160 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. That’s the kind of power being generated from bi-weekly for its 1.4L, MultiAir turbocharged engine.

Five classics you’d never guess are so valuable suspect of being quite pricey: 1. Volkswagen “Samba” Microbus: There’s a simple

Volkswagen “Samba” Microbus

Fiat Jolly

Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser

Ford Bronco

BMW Isetta

By Rob Sass

Pull quote: “Versions of the venerable ’50s VW Microbus can bring money that would shock the hippies who ran them into the ground in the 1960s.”

Some classics wear their price tags on their sleeves.

Look at a fuel-injected ’57 Chevy Bel Air, and it’s imme-

diately apparent that it’s valuable merchandise.

On the other hand, there are the sleepers of the classic car world, the cars that are worth a lot of money but it’s only obvious to those in-the-know.

For example, few would guess that the proceeds from a restored VW microbus could put a kid through college.

Here are five you’d never

rule of thumb with VW Microbuses: More windows equals more money. The 21- and 23-window versions of the venerable ’50s VW Microbus can bring money that would shock the hippies who ran them into the ground in the 1960s—around 70 grand for a nicely restored one. They’ve even been known to break $100,000 at the right auction.

2. Fiat Jolly: The Jolly was an open-top version of the classic Fiat 500 that was meant to be stowed onboard yachts and used as transport in places like Monaco and Positano. They have no doors, the seats are made of wicker and the tops are meant only to provide shade. Appallingly cute, the pint-sized Jolly can sell for upwards of $70,000.

3. Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser: The classic Jeep-like 1960-1984 Toyota Land Cruiser was one tough vehicle—so tough that they invited horrific abuse, which explains the dearth of clean examples.

A nicely restored one sold at an auction in Scottsdale, Ariz., last January for $88,000.

Some are said to have sold for $100,000-plus. In response to FJ40s getting so expensive, first-generation 4Runners are starting to increase in value.

Don’t say you weren’t told!

4. Ford Bronco: The humble 1966-77 Ford Bronco was a product of the same team that brought us the classic 1964½ Mustang. Unlike the Mustang, which sat on Ford Falcon underpinnings, the first Bronco was a unique platform.

The size and shape were just right, and collectors have latched onto them in droves.

Totally stock, unrusted, Broncos without cut fenders and flares are rare; it takes around $30,000 to get a nice one.

5. BMW Isetta: Prior to becoming known as the ultimate driving machine, BMW sold the super-expensive V-8 507 roadster and the tiny egg-like Isetta microcar out of the same showrooms. It’s no shock that the gorgeous 507 roadster sells for a ton of money, but the fact that Isettas can pull more than $40,000 is surprising indeed.

During GRIZ DAYS The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado

Many ‘‘innovative

improvements were made to this truck to keep up with the consumer demands.

Ian Harwood

’’

By Ian Harwod

The folks over a GM felt it was time to raise the bar and with this latest incarnation of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado.

And indeed it took a major step forward by anybody’s estimation. Competition is fierce in the ½-ton pickup market and with heavy concentration on fuel consumption; it’s tough to find a balance between fuel economy and a strong capable truck.

But the Silverado designers achieved that balance and were recognized very publicly for that achievement. The awards presentation at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit saw GM haul away top honors for the Corvette Stingray and Silverado pickup, which were named North American Car and Truck of the year.

You can’t just beef up a suspension and still expect a smooth ride. Chev did: the Silverado utilizes finely tuned

shock absorbers that respond to small vibrations and tackle the big bounces with ease. I admit I had my doubts. Driving the Silverado over a pothole-laden road did change the dynamics of this truck on how it handled but the shocks adjusted themselves perfectly.

The frame mounts at the back of the cab are hydraulic and this helps to control any vibration. The rear axle size has been increased to handle the larger torque output from the engine. Speaking of engines the Silverado offers three engine choices.

The first is a 4.3L V6 with a 285 horsepower and 305 foot pounds of torque. An all-aluminum 5.3L V8 with 355 horsepower and a 6.2L EcoTec V8 that produces 420 horsepower and 450 foot pounds of torque. This engine also has active noise cancellation, very similar to good quality headphones!

The transmission is a sixspeed electronically controlled automatic with two overdrive gears. It has an estimated combined fuel economy of 13/8.7 L/100 km.

Although my real world numbers were not that close, the transmission undoubtedly helped push a tank of gas a little farther than I expected.

Properly equipped, this Silverado can tow up to 5216 kg (11,500 lb) which is impressive for a ½ ton pickup.

The redesigned interior offers more leg room and is easily accessed through the larger doors. Stain resistant cloth seats or optional leather seats are very comfortable.

The glove box is a two-piece design and the centre con-

sole has plenty of room for files and junk to go missing for years!

The steering wheel controls and other knobs on the dash are within reachable distance from the driver and larger enough that they can be used while wearing work gloves.

My tester was equipped with Mylink system that basically controls everything.

The voice recognition is easy to use and can respond to normal speech patterns.

Bluetooth capabilities allow easy pairing of any smart phone with very little effort and accessing your music is a breeze.

The rear bumper has steps built into it on both corners of the truck, making the job of climbing in the back an easy task. The tailgate features EZ-lift hardware that makes lowering the tailgate a one handed job. An available LED lights mounted under the box rails lights up the cargo area and makes every nook and cranny visible. Many innovative improvements were made to this truck to keep up with the consumer demands and the result will help spur Canadian sales. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

1

Talk to your parents about their fears, needs, priorities, and wishes as they get older.

8

Make their home user-friendly. Use lever-style faucets and cabinet handles, raise toilet seats, install handrails and grab bars, and so on.

2

Have the name and phone number of your parents’ doctor, lawyer, pharmacist, hair dresser, grocery store, cab service, and seniors’ transportation service in case you should need to call them.

9

Visit seniors’ housing facilities so you know what’s out there, and if necessary, put your parents on waiting lists.

3

Make a few calls to find out about seniors’ services in your parents’ community, such as meal delivery services, homemaker programs, adult daycare, in-home healthcare, meal companion services, pet therapy programs, etc.

10

Make sure your parents have a will and power of attorney that is up to date in order to avoid any future problems.

11

4

If you live far away, make sure that you have the name of a neighbour, friend, or volunteer who can check in on your parents if there’s trouble.

Call them every day or two just to say hello and to see if everything’s alright.

If you can’t do this, have family, friends, or volunteers alternate calls or visits.

12

5

Make sure their home is safe. Install smoke detectors that work, install anti-scald devices, fall-proof the house, and make sure there is adequate lighting.

Encourage them to stay active. Look into bowling leagues, bingo nights, book clubs for seniors, dance lessons for the elderly, travel tours, seniors’ associations, etc. They will thank you for it.

6

Post important phone numbers, including emergency numbers, where they can easily see them.

13

7

Purchase a medical alert system so that your parents can push a button for help from anywhere in the house.

If you feel that your parents’ driving skills have become questionable, perhaps it’s time to make some changes. Start by elevating their pedals, raising their seat, and installing larger mirrors. Have their eyesight checked by an ophthalmologist and talk to their pharmacist and doctor about their prescriptions to see if their medication could be affecting their driving skills. Look into seniors’driving safety courses.

Choosing the new home with proper care and attention to detail Submitted

Whether it’s a question of age, illness, or loneliness, many seniors must eventually make the decision to leave their house or apartment and choose a private retirement

home in which to spend the last years of their lives. Is this the situation you find yourself in? If so, remember these two key words: needs and priorities.

Visiting all the homes in your area is pointless unless you have

already defined your needs and priorities, either as a single person or as a couple.

For example, is the retirement home able to provide the level of care you need, with on-site medical personnel and assistance in dressing or bathing?

Which services are you looking for? Full service meals, housework, and laundry? You must also decide if you would like to have an

alarm system in your room or apartment, a parking space, and whether you would like to be close to a hospital or grocery store.

Of course, your budget is a primary factor, so find out exactly which services are included in the monthly rent.

Once you have a clear idea of your needs and you’ve made a list of all the questions concerning your priorities, it is time to visit pro-

Above all, avoid hasty decisions and don’t yield to pressure tactics. This move is an important transition in your life that requires careful and thorough planning. Before signing a lease, be sure to make a second, unannounced visit to your retirement home of choice. A surprise visit will give you a glimpse into the unscripted realities of the home you’re most drawn to.

husband is looking after a wife who can no longer be considered independent. These kinds of care arrangements often leave the primary caregiver in a situation where his or her own health is compromised.

There are many different ways to make the most of these visits. For example, you might be able to work with the caregiving senior to visit at a particular time so that he or she can attend a fitness class or a support group. If setting a specific day and time isn’t possible, then you could suggest to the caregiver when you arrive that he or she is welcome to go out for a walk or do some other relaxing activity. This allows for a break from their demanding role, and it also allows you some time alone with the invalid to develop a rewarding therapeutic relationship.
