A reminder to leave newborn wildlife alone

Photo submitted

This fawn may look defenseless, but its mother is probably close at hand.

When it comes to newborn wild animals, mother always knows best, and so with fawning and calving season underway provincial biologists are reminding people that newborn deer, elk or moose should not be touched or moved when encountered.

People who find these newborns alone often mistakenly believe they have been abandoned, but usually they have only been left there temporarily by their mother, who will return. Intervening Skills from page 2

ting, heavy equipment operation, truck driving and concrete finishing, but ministers and officials stressed that it also includes engineering, health care and other occupations where jobs are projected to increase.

The main shift for colleges and universities is that within four years, a quarter of their operating grants will be targeted to programs with identified demand from the job market.

Employment data will determine post-secondary funding, instead of the tradition of block grants to post-secondary schools.

Ministers avoided identifying areas that will lose funding, but have previously cited far more teaching graduates than there are jobs in the school system.

Premier Christy Clark has lamented a system where students receive a bachelor’s degree and then must take additional training to qualify for jobs.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender outlined a plan for K-12 schooling that aims to double the number of spaces for high school students taking industrial training in high school to 5,000 in two years. Students in these courses get college credits while still

in these situations by ‘rescuing’ the fawn or calf is rarely necessary and will usually do more harm than good.

It is normal for mother deer, elk and other ungulates to leave their young alone for long periods, returning a few times a day to nurse and relying on the newborn’s lack of scent to protect them from predators. Returning mothers that find humans or pets nearby may leave or can become aggressive to defend their offspring from the perceived threat. The mother will return if the young is left alone.

Although these newborns may appear abandoned, it is rarely the case, and if they are removed they will be orphaned. While professional wildlife rehabilitation facilities in some areas of B.C. can successfully rear these newborns, there is no

maternal care and their chances of survival are far less than if they had been raised by their true mother.

This is true not just for deer; many mammals leave their young alone for long periods of time, only to return to feed them at regular intervals.

So, if you encounter a young deer or calf in the wild at this time of the year, appreciate the experience, but don’t approach or intervene.

Quick Facts: If you find a fawn or calf that you think may be orphaned, here’s what you should do: * If it is lying quietly, leave it alone and leave the area. Your presence will discourage the mother from returning. * Keep all children and especially dogs away from the area. * If you think the fawn or calf is not being cared for by its mother, return the next

in high school, allowing them to go to work more quickly.

The ministry is also revamping its kindergarten to grade nine curriculum to give it more emphasis on “hands-on learning” and exposing students in earlier grades to the range of jobs they can expect when they graduate.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond said the Industry Training Authority will soon get a new board of directors and industry advisory councils to provide up-to-date information on job market needs.

NDP leader Adrian Dix said the overhaul of the ITA to restore union representation on its board shows that the model set up 10 years ago has been a failure.

He also questioned how the education system can be restructured without adding new resources.

“We need investment in skills training,” Dix said. “Instead what we have is a ministry of reallocation, which will cause considerable problems in the system and will not, I think, cumulatively give young people what they need.”

Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk said the student loan program will also be adjusted to market demand, with loans reduced or forgiven for

students who graduate with in-demand skills and are willing to move to get work.

do not touch or move the animal. * Do not touch or feed the animal.

ALR debate skirts general farming issue

Photo Courtesy AgriCulturAl lAnd Commission

A map of the Agricultural Land Reserve in the province.

by Brian Coombs The proposed BC Liberal government has opened up another can of worms with its proposed changes to the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) and the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

Before 1973, when this reserve was created, the province was losing an increasing amount of productive farm land to urban development.

This amount was dramatically reduced with the introduction of the nearly 5 million hectares of ALR land. Land is added to and taken from this reserve every year, often at the urging of land owners.

The changes involve leaving Zone 1 ALR land restrictions (in places like the Okanagan and Vancouver Island) in place and making it easier to remove lands or lease them for non-agricultural purposes in Zone 2, which is mainly in the north and interior--including the East Kootenay.

Opponents of the plan

point out that there was no public consultation and the changes don’t appear to be sciencebased. They also point out that arable land will now become a beacon for developers--and developers would probably want to use the best land possible. They also object because face it, the world’s population is growing and land that is set aside for food production should be worth more than any monetary value we can attach to it.

Proponents of the plan like that they would have more flexibility in leasing out their property, along with it being easier to have another business on the property. In some cases, the new legislation would make it not as difficult to remove a piece of their property from the ALR altogether. Should this legislation pass, property currently in Zone 2 will become more valuable as many restrictions will be eased. That prospect alone has to make some ALR property owners interested in Bill 24 passing.

And so both sides keep arguing their very valid points. But the debate seems to be skirting the elephant in the room— it is nearly impossible to afford to be a small scale farmer anymore and even some of the larger players are nearly played out.

Farming has always been a business where the margins are tight and much of the ALR controversy is about working these margins just so a farmer can survive.

A report put together by the National Farmers Union in 2008, called “The Farm Crisis and the Cattle Sector: Toward a New Analysis and New Solutions”, laid out a bleak reality for cattle farmers—an industry alive in the East Kootenay.

The report observed that, adjusted for inflation, the national average price for a hundred weight for slaughter steers was $174 between 1942 and 1989. In 2008, the same weight netted around $85.

“How can this be?,” asked the authors of the report. “In the 1940s, ’50s, ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, using packing plants that were comparatively inefficient, paying workers 22% more, serving a smaller market, and selling to lessaffluent consumers, the system was able to pass back to farmers twice as much per animal.”

This halving of profit came at a time when the packers made their plants super-efficient, cut wages and ramped up production, mainly for export. It noted that most of the small packers, who used to compete with each other, have also been bought out by large corporations who immediately cut the pay to the feedlots, and making it nearly impossible for farmer’s to sell their animals at a decent rate. As well, packers

now own more of their own cattle, a development that allows them to cut prices paid to the farmer while they use up their own stock. That is a simplified analysis of the report’s conclusions.

As the food business becomes ever more corporate, these problems, in various ways, are increasingly being shared with non-cattle farmers.

Now If farming was a business that paid the owners fairly, chances are most would be happy with the current ALR. Farmer’s would have to work outside of the farm far less, the land would be worth more in resale and the current restrictions and bureaucracy wouldn’t seem so onerous.

But it is not and while the Farmers’ Union report laid out some suggestions such as developing and encouraging local food, a better balance with domestic consumption vs. export and collective marketing agencies—all would require government (federal and provincial) will to succeed. Governments, unfortunately, have a poor track record when it comes to siding with working people over conglomerates.

And that seems to be what inspires such passion in the ALR argument. The proposed ALR legislation is a big deal but ultimately it is a distraction from something truly disturbing that has happened to our once-mighty agricultural sector. Farmers are incredibly hard-working people who are used to sacrificing to stay on their land. We, as a country, have allowed this sector to be taken advantage of and as long as that is the case, debates over the smallest margins will be argued heatedly.

What else can a farmer do?

Smart meter refusal fees trimmed by BC Utilities Commission bypasses.

The commission also reduced fees for customers who move and request a radio-off meter

at their new address. To switch from a mechanical meter to a radio-off meter will cost $77.60, reduced from the BC

Hydro’s proposed $100.

Going from one radiooff meter to another will cost $132.60, down from the proposed $155

that includes activating the meter in the former residence.

Smart meter installer photographs a sign opposing replacement of mechanical power meter, Revelstoke, May 2012. The B.C. Utilities Commission has upheld a $65 “failed installation” charge to customers who block access to meters.

By Tom Fletcher BC Hydro customers who refuse to part with their mechanical power meters will continue to pay $32.40 a month for manual meter readings, with a refund on the balance of the $35 they’ve been paying since December.

The B.C. Utilities Commission ruled on BC Hydro’s smart meter opt-out fees Friday, after an order from the B.C. government required the regulator to approve fees covering all of BC Hydro’s costs.

A $20 a month charge will continue for BC Hydro customers who accept a digital meter

with the radio transmission function turned off.

The commission cut the one-time fee for disabling the meter radio to $22.60, far below BC Hydro’s proposed $100.

Most of BC Hydro’s nearly two million customers now have fully functioning smart meters, which send daily readings to a collection network and signal when power goes out and comes back on.

A few customers cling to theories that the meters present a health hazard, despite evidence that their signals are weaker than the natural background of radio frequency signals even in remote areas.

BC Hydro’s meter

upgrade was exempted from review, but the commission ruled last year on similar equipment for FortisBC’s electrical grid in the Okanagan and Kootenay regions.

Commissioners rejected testimony from smart meter opponents, noting that their spokesmen were unqualified and in most cases repeating false or exaggerated claims in order to sell solutions to the purported hazards.

BC Hydro spent nearly $1 billion to upgrade its grid, forecasting savings from automatic meter reading to faster detection of outages and elimination of power theft from meter

Putting people to work Submitted As the Employment Program of BC (EPBC) celebrates its second anniversary of putting British Columbians to work, two projects are currently helping 16 people get on-thejob experience, while building diverse community infrastructure in the Kootenays.

EPBC, a program of the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation, is funding two Job Creation Partnerships, one in Nelson and another in the Creston area.

In Nelson, $128,967 for the Nelson and

District Chamber of Commerce is providing work experience for six people as they help refurbish the historic Canadian Pacific Railway station and turn it into a Regional Visitor Gateway. The gateway will include the local tourist centre and the Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce.

In the Creston area, $135,929.90 for the Kootenay Employment Services Society has 10 people working on a partnership with three community non-profit organizations: the Therapeutic Riding Association, Creston and District

Community Resource Centre Society, and the Kootenay Region Association for Community Living.

When finished, these projects will largely benefit people with disabilities in their communities.

Job Creation Partnerships were introduced in April 2012 as part of the Employment Program of BC. To date, more than 70 projects have been funded throughout the province, eight in the Kootenay Region.

Fencing barriers removed for family-friendly festivals in province

Photo submitted

These Kimberley Julyfest participants, and other area festival-goers in the province will no longer have to head to the beer gardens for beverages.

Gone are the days of cordoned-off beer gardens at family-friendly festivals in B.C., thanks to liquor law changes made today that open up new opportunities for B.C. families and the province’s multitude of festivals and special events.

“Allowing familyfriendly festivals to license the grounds instead of cordoning off beer gardens means families can stay together to enjoy the music, fun and festivities and, at the same time, will reduce setup costs for the many non-profits that do such great work in our province. Our government promised to modern-

ize B.C.’s liquor laws - increasing convenience, selection and choice for consumers, while keeping public safety top of mind - and we are delivering on that promise,” said Suzanne Anton, Attorney General and Minister of Justice.

Parents will be able to enjoy a beverage and explore the festivalgrounds together with their kids, rather than being restricted to acaged-off beer garden. Not only does this enhance convenience forfamilies, it also reduces costs for the non-profits that run B.C.’sunique festivals and special events, meaning more funds

can go tothe various causes they support.

Public safety will continue to be a top priority. All festivals andpublic special events that wish to sell alcohol will still need to apply for a special occasion licence (SOL) and may be subject to local government or police approval. For large-scale events that expect more than 500 people, event organizers must submit a site plan that demonstrates a safe, secure environment with controls in place to keep liquor out of the hands of minors.

Today’s changes also refresh additional, outdated liquor policies.

Sales of mixed spirits, such as gin and tonic or rum and Coke, are now allowed at SOL events, such as music festivals and regattas, offering more choice and selection for consumers, and creating new opportunities for B.C.’s craft distilleries.

“Today’s changes will increase convenience and generate huge time and cost savings for our festival organizers, allowing more proceeds to flow directly to the programs we support. The thousands of visitors that the

Dragon Boat Festival brings to Vancouver each year will also be happy to hear they can now enjoy a beverage while they watch live music, check out the local vendors or grab a bite to eat,” said Ann Phelps, general manager of the Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival Sports and entertainment venues will also see positive changes, thanks to modernized rules around spirit sales and licensing. Rather than only serving beer and wine to those in the general seating area, and spirits to those in private boxes or premium seats, B.C. stadiums and arenas can now serve spirits to all patrons, no matter where they are seated.

Today’s changes are the first of many to be implemented from the Liquor Policy Review one of the B.C. government’s most successful public engagements.

Government launched the review with the goals of increasing choice and convenience for consumers, cutting red tape, spurring the economy and supporting B.C. jobs, while protecting health and public safety.

The MS Society provides services to people with MS and their families and funds research to find the cause and cure for this disease.

BCUC review and BC Hydro rates Submitted

Government is acting on two of its 10 Year Plan commitments for BC Hydro by beginning an independent review of the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) and launching a public rate design review, announced Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsible for Core Review. The reviews are part of government’s plan to keep electricity rates as low as possible while BC Hydro makes investments to maintain our electricity system and meet growing demand.

“We know that the BCUC has a very important role to play in overseeing British Columbia’s utilities and we have always been clear that we want to get them back to reviewing and setting BC Hydro rates. This review will make sure they have the tools and processes in place to start setting

BC Hydro rates by the third year of the 10 Year Plan,” said Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsible for Core Review. “We also know it’s important for BC Hydro’s large industrial customers to stay competitive. The rate design review will help identify opportunities to provide those customers with more flexible rate options to manage their costs.”

Government has been clear that it wants the BCUC to resume its role setting BC Hydro rates. The review of the BCUC responds to concerns, raised by customer groups and utilities, about the commission’s ability to deliver clear and timely decisions. In recent years, the number of information requests and the cost of funding interveners in commission proceedings has increased dramatically, resulting in additional costs and delays. The

review will be led by an independent task force and will make recommendations on how to improve the commission’s effectiveness and efficiency so it can start setting BC Hydro rates by the third year of the 10 Year Plan.

The rate design review will help identify opportunities to provide large industrial customers with more flexible rate options to manage their costs and stay competitive. It will also evaluate current industrial, commercial and residential rate structures to ensure they support key objectives including energy conservation and fairness.

The BCUC review task force will begin consultations this month and will report back to government by Nov. 17, 2014. The consultation process will include meetings with First Nations, utilities and interveners as well as current and former BCUC staff. Members

of the public will also be able to make written submissions to the task force. Rate design consultations will begin in May and will include a web site where customers can submit feedback and suggestions. Those consultations will inform the rate design application that BC Hydro will submit to the BCUC in the summer of 2015.

April 2014 marks the first month of government’s 10 Year Plan for BC Hydro. Today, government released a progress update on key commitments including investments to maintain and upgrade BC Hydro’s system as well as measures to pay down regulatory accounts, limit BC Hydo’s operating costs and reduce the amount of money that government takes from the utility.

If you have seeb smoke in the sky east of Fort Steele this week, don’t worry: If conditions are right, crews will have conducted a low-intensity prescribed burn on Brewery Ridge, Wednesday, April 30.

The burn will be conducted by Wildfire Management Branch, in conjunction with the Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program.

The 190-hectare site on Brewery Ridge is just north of the twokilometre marker on the Wildhorse River Forest Service Road. This site has received pre-burn thinning treatment and

is a high-priority for ecosystem restoration because it’s vital Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep habitat.

Crews from Wildfire Management were on site last week to conduct test burns. The burn this week will be ignited only if weather conditions meet B.C.’s smoke control regulations and if ground conditions allow fires to be managed safely.

Historically, the forest in the Rocky Mountain Trench was renewed through frequent, low-intensity ground fires. Such fires removed the shrubby understory and created a relatively open forest with large, healthy

trees. The exclusion of fire from the landscape over recent decades has increased the fuels that contribute to the risk of more intense and damaging fires, and reduced the amount of open grasslands in the Rocky Mountain Trench. Combined with other factors, the resulting forest ingrowth has caused an overall deterioration in wildlife habitat, cattle forage and forest values.

The reintroduction of low-intensity ground fires to these forests is intended to maintain and restore what ecologists describe as a ‘firemaintained, Douglas fir, fescue grass community,’ which is natural for

these sites.

These fires are part of an ongoing restoration program administered by the provincial government.

For more information, visit www.trench-er. com.

The public is invited to contact the Ecosystem Restoration Program as noted below to discuss the use of fire as a management tool and other aspects of the ecosystem restoration program.

Funding for this burn is being provided by the Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program.

Music Monday comes to Cranbrook

A delegation of more than 300 students from Cranbrook Schools will gather at the Tamarack Mall at 1:15 on Monday, May 5 as part of the nation-wide celebration of Music Monday 2014. This will be the 10th anniversary of students celebrating music across Canada on the first Monday in May. Everyone is welcome to

come hear these Cranbrook youth showcase the gift of music.

Music helps bring out the best in young people, nourishing self-esteem and keeping them engaged. Studies have shown that students who participate in music activities also experience greater success in math, reading and science. We are fortunate

in Cranbrook to have a Board of Education and district administration who support music education and value the presence of these programs in our schools, for this is not the case in some areas of BC. This Music Monday celebration builds upon the past success of large organized musical events in Cranbrook,

such as the annual Christmas Mass Choir concert and recently the International Choral Festival. Keeping music alive in our schools is the hope of all music teachers.

Come celebrate music education in our community and across Canada.

Horoscope for the Week: May 2, 2014 Contact Michael O’Connor for a Personal Reading • 888.352.2936 sunstarastrology@gmail.com • www.sunstarastrology.com Tip of the Week: The New Moon in Taurus on April 28 was a Solar Eclipse. These moons are described by some as‘super moons’.

The seeds they sow contain a much bigger charge than a regular New Moon. Each sign will generally feel the impact over the next month and especially by the time of the Full Moon on May 14. Yet, it is also said that the waves from a Solar Eclipse continue to roll in, at least in the wake of our personal lives, until the next eclipse season which this year occurs in October.

The exact degree of this eclipse was 8 Taurus 52. The impact is increased significantly when the eclipse makes close aspects to sensitive points in our Birth Chart. The nature of the influence depends on the nature of the aspect. Generally, the Fixed Signs, Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio stand to feel the effects most strongly. Yet, people with planets or angles at 6 to 10 degrees of any sign will experience the effects.

That these powerful events have coincided with the Grand Cross that has received so much attention, add to the degree of impact implied. As ever, there are many cycles at play. This one is ‘generic, as in a collective weather pattern, so to speak, just as is true of the eclipses. How it will manifest depends on how it connects with each individual’s chart. The Grand Cross (Square) occurred at 12 degrees of the Cardinal Signs, so people with planets and angles at 9 to 15 of any sign especially will experience the ‘influence’most strongly.

Thus there is an overlap between these two formations. Regarding the Grand Cross, the true power in it is actually the square aspect between Uranus and Pluto, which began in summer 2010 and will continue until January 2016. To truly understand these influences, we have to step back and see the bigger picture since their bigger impact is better understood from a global, social, political and economic perspective. The revolution of evolution is an old story, but these configurations do indicate a spike in the graph. The implications of these are woven into the interpretations for each sign and have been for many months.

There is an archive of previous Horoscopes on my website and the Horoscopes for 2013 and 2014 which offer a wider perspective are there as well. Check them out to see the trends. As well, my free monthly New Moon Newsletter offers even more insight yet.

An archive of it is also on my website and sign-up for both are free. Stay tuned for more to come.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20) Your concentration and focus are deepening. Your sights should now be clearly set on realistic plans and action. This is the follow through period on what was initiated last month.

You have reason to feel confident about your progress so be sure to celebrate all advances so far lest you remain ever unsatisfied. Then prepare to explore your next prospects of expression.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21) The gates are wide open and the bull unleashed. Thought the full measure of your charge may have been delayed the momentum is building steadily. This trend will continue over the coming weeks. Your ‘to do’ list will be full and diverse.

Concentrate now to establish a secure foundation and strategy to build upon.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) Making plans and getting things done behind the scenes is a good strategy now. As exciting as this time of the year is, you are wise to use it to recharge your batteries. Intend to soak in the beauty, to be inspired and to simply be. It is quite possible that your next major focus of destiny is being downloaded now. Be open to receive it and take note.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22) Who and what do you love and why? This sort of question continues to linger in your mind. Making key investments is also on your mind. These may be of the emotional communicative sort as much as of the practical. Finding new ways and means to express your thoughts and feelings and your ideas and ambitions too is the next task.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23) Business is squarely on your mind. For you this may well include performance, and/or production and direction.

Looking for how to make improvements is featured. The focus will turn progressively to artistic and cultural expressions.

Whether you are in the lead, playing a performing role at least or a spectator, this is your cue.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) You are beginning to see a bigger picture. It includes building upon a new quality of thinking, expression and communication. What kind of impression about you do you want to linger in the minds of others? In this day and age this is an important question. While humility has it place so does efficiently and effectively presenting your best.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22) Exchanges of talents, finances, feelings and resources in general are a current theme. A growing attraction to what others have to offer is on your mind. While you may not yet be ready to take direct, deliberate action, you are open to shopping around. This is time of contracted expansion, as in building your core… body, awareness and resolve.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21) Budding relationships interests and perhaps even romance are on your mind. To succeed now you are wise to be the one to make the first move. You have likely already established a rather serious momentum in this regard. Now it is time for the next phase. Look to the future and be willing to go big.

Build a platform for your dreams.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21) This is the dawning of the Age of Sagittarius…. Okay maybe not, but it might as well be at least in your world. Yet, sometimes it is darkest just before the dawn. On the other hand you are probably already seeing the light of the new day. Success includes confronting fears and laying claim to the gifts, treasures and talents that are surely there within.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) A creative momentum continues to build. It will inspire you to produce acts and works of beauty. This includes removing what already exists and replacing it with the new. So, yes you will have to disrupt the status quo, perhaps especially at home. More importantly, this shift may have to occur within you to produce the results you seek.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19) Establishing a new base of operations close to home is a main focus now. It will include and likely require changes in your point of view. It is all part of a process of breaking free. From who and/or what is the other question. Consider that it may be from some of your own habitual perspectives, attitudes and expectations. Open to honest communications within and without.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) A busy time with places to go and people to see is keeping you occupied. Ardent ambitions are keeping your focus strong, even though there are many fronts to consider. Activating new streams of income, taking alternate lines of approach and following fresh leads are featured. Creative diversity is a core theme and a key to success.

Urinetown-the musical

by Zoe Dupley What is Urinetown? It’s the MBSS Spring Theater Production; combining a love for music, song, dance, and theater, this musical has got it all… including an interesting title.

The musicals’ roots were inspired

by Greg Kotis’ trip to Paris, France in 1995. So outraged by having to pay to use a public bathroom, a mandatory facility, he was compelled to create this musical that was nominated for ten Tony Awards. Filled with the themes of a dystopian society, romance, and discord, there is something for everyone.

At first glance, I was put off by the title. I never would have imagined anyone would want to go and see a

musical that revolved around “urination.” Upon being cast in the musical and reading the script however, my views completely changed. Urinetown has a lot of emotions written into it, and a compelling storyline that is different than anything else I’ve ever seen. Rehearsals started in early January with a professional choreographer coming in from Toronto to work with the actors.

Watching all the dances and scenes coming together, and seeing the cast growing closer over time, makes the effort worth it for this spectacular production. The casting choices for this production are spot on. With a musical score as complex as the one we are working with, our directors made perfect choices befitting the voice parts and musicality of each actor. Our directors, stage managers and actors have put their blood, sweat and tears into this show, and hope that their efforts are present to their audience.

Our cast and crew invite you to come and see for yourself what Urinetown is really about from May 8th-10th, at 7:30pm, and May 11th at 2:00pm. Tickets are now on sale at the Key City Theater.

OUTER SPACE Creating an outdoor oasis Fertilizer: What’s Your Number?

Gardeners have been using fertilizer to help their plants grow better in one form or another since the beginning of agriculture. Those who have used fertilizers will know that feeding your plants can make a big difference. It can give you more flowers or fruit, earlier harvests and stronger, more vigorous plants. The large number of fertilizers on the market today can seem confusing, but understanding the basics about the numbers on the bag can help you choose the right fertilizer for your planting project.

Fertilizers usually have a series of three numbers on the bag, they show the percent-

ages by weight of the three main ingredients: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. A 10 pound bag of 12-1612 fertilizer will contain 1.2 pounds of nitrogen, 1.6 pounds of phosphorous and 1.2 pounds of potassium.

The first number indicates the amount of nitrogen in the fertilizer. Nitrogen is needed for leaf growth and is responsible for making plants greener. It is used by the plant to produce leafy growth and formation of stems and branches. Plants most in need of nitrogen include grasses and leafy vegetables such as cabbage and spinach. Nitrogen is often lost with intense watering and

signs that your plant is lacking nitrogen include slow growth and yellowing of lower leaves.

An example for a fertilizer high in nitrogen is Nurseryland Evergreen 30-10-10; it is excellent for keeping conifers green.

Nurseryland Premium Lawn Food 31-4-6 is a product that will help give you a deep green lawn.

The amount of phosphorous is indicated by the second number. This is what your plants need for good root growth as well as flower and fruit production later on. Especially young plants forming their new roots as well as root vegetables, seed and fruit crops need

lots of phosphorous to develop well.

Nurseryland Seed and Sod Starter 7-21-7 helps get the roots of your new lawn off to a good start. For annuals and vegetables Nurseryland Bone Meal 2-13-0 when used at planting time will provide long term feeding for bigger blossoms and better harvests. Nurseryland Power Bloom 10-40-25 will give your flowering bedding plants a boost to keep performing at their max.

Potassium is the third number and this nutrient helps promote flowering and is vital for growth as well as the overall health and disease resistance of plants. Carrots, po-

tatoes, tomatoes and apples are examples of plants that need plenty of potassium. Symptoms that your plant might be deficient include poor root systems, few blossoms and small yields as well as drying leaf tips. Nurseryland Fruit & Berry Food 7-21-18 gives your fruiting plants plenty of potassium to keep them healthy and producing lots of delicious fruit.

Fertilizers can also have other nutrients in them. One nutrient that is often added as a fourth number is sulphur. Sulphur will help make your soil more acidic, or ‘sour’. This can be especially important in our growing area where soils tend

It’s Time To

to be more alkaline, or ‘sweet’. Iron, magnesium, calcium, manganese, zinc and boron are

some other micronutrients that may be contained in some fertilizers in smaller quantities.

Gregarious Gardener

10 Neat Things

by Top Crop Garden, Farm & Pet

Potatoes

1. Meat and Potatoes. From holiday feasts to barbecues and quick mid-week dinners, it would be hard to imagine cooking without potatoes. Potatoes are native to the Americas and were first grown as a main food source in Peru and Bolivia. The average person consumes about 33 kilos of potatoes a year, making spuds the fourth largest food crop in the world, behind corn, wheat and rice.

2. What’s Your Favourite Spud? Worldwide, there are over 4,000 different varieties of potatoes and even local gardeners have more than a dozen options when it comes to seed potatoes. There are tried and true classics, such as Russet Burbank and Yukon Gold as well as unique gourmet varieties, including more delicate fingerling-style potatoes, such as Banana Potatoes or the deeply-coloured Russian Blue.

3. Beauty is not Skin-Deep! The texture determines a potato’s use, not its skin. Potatoes that are high in starch are more mealy. They tend to bake up nicely and make good fries and chips. Those low in starch are waxier and often higher in sugar. These varieties hold together better during boiling and are best used for salads, soups and similar dishes.

4. Don’t Fear the Carbs! People who need to watch their blood sugar levels often have to be careful with potatoes as they are usually rated fairly high on the glycemic index. This means that after you eat potatoes, the carbohydrates in them can cause a spike in your blood sugar levels. Nicola is a relatively new, early yellow potato with a very low rating on the index. For example, a baked Russet Potato has a ranking of 111 on the glycemic index and the Nicola comes in at only 58.

5. Some Like it Hot. Before planting seed potatoes, look at your local growing conditions. In general, potatoes are very forgiving and can grow in virtually all soil types. For best results, however, pick a sunny location and add some rich, organic soil. This is especially important if the soil has a high content of clay.

6. Sweet for Sour Soil. Potatoes like neutral or even slightly acidic soil. In most of our region, the soil is more alkaline - a quick pH soil test will tell you - and potatoes benefit greatly from adding some sulphur to the soil.

7. Potatoes with Skin Problems. Adding a handful of sulphur at the time of planting can also inhibit bacteria in the soil that are known to cause scab. Potato scab presents itself as small pits or raised, corky areas on the skin of the potatoes. You can also look for varieties with good resistance to scab, such as Russet Burbank or Nicola, and experienced gardeners will also recommend that you rotate the location of your potatoes in your garden to help offset nutrient deficiencies and avoid pests.

8. Hills of Gold. The most common way of growing potatoes is a process referred to as “hilling”. When first planting the seed potatoes in your garden, only cover the tubers with three to four inches of soil.

Once the plant has grown to about half a foot, carefully add about two inches of soil to avoid breaking the plants. Keep repeating as the plant grows, making sure to leave at least two thirds of the plant with leaves sticking out of the soil.

9. No Garden Needed. Potatoes can also be grown in almost any large container, including special patio grow bags, provided they get good drainage.

This means you have to use good potting soil, possibly with some organic matter mixed in to make it a little heavier. A slow release fertilizer is a good idea as well, as potatoes are heavy feeders. When growing potatoes in containers, it is important to keep them moist, but not soaking wet; consistent moisture helps form uniform sized potatoes. Another method is growing no-dig potatoes with the use of straw.

10. What’s Under the Skin? Potatoes are sometimes underestimated in their nutritional value. The average potato provides 40 percent of the recommended daily allowance for Vitamin C, has 3 grams of protein, is an excellent source of dietary fiber and supplies 12 other essential vitamins and minerals. All that and no fat.

“We spent a great deal of time deliberating on a new name for the festival,” says Gerard Gibbs, Key City Theatre managing director. “We want to tie the event with the location and its international scope.”

“We chose this name” said Rivka Golani, artistic director and world renowned viola player, “because part of our philosophy is based on appreciation and deepening of the ties to our place, namely the East Kootenays and Southern Alberta.”

“This place has offered us fertile soil in which to grow and cultivate our festival, which has slowly been gaining international notoriety.”

Rivka Golani is an internationally recognized performer and teacher with numerous recordings, awards and stellar reviews from concerts. She has performed on some of the most important stages of the world; Roy Thompson Hall, Carnegie Hall, Wigmore Hall and the BBC Proms just to name a few.

For eight days in May, sixteen musicians, composers and actors will be in residence preparing a very exciting array of music for you to enjoy. Members of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, Vancouver Symphony, Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, along with faculty from the University of Lethbridge and London’s Trinity Laban Conservatoire will round out the roster. You will have the chance to hear some of the greatest masterpieces of chamber music including Brahms, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, and Faure.

In addition, three world premiers of works have been commissioned from some of Canada’s finest veteran composers and one of Britain’s rising stars - just for this festival! These works are based on traditional Blackfoot culture and include; Thunder and Raven by David Jager, Two Ravens

by Charles Heller and Baker Massacre 1870

by Benjamin Ellin.

in support oF the east Kootenay spCa.

The Drive One premise is simple, come down, test drive a new vehicle, and Ford Canada will donate $20 to the SPCA for your time and effort. Our goal is to send out 300 test drives, for a total donation of $6,000.

“We approached the SPCA this year, because of all the hard and often difficult work they do in this area. Their employees and volunteers are some of the most passionate and dedicated people you’ll ever meet. Let’s face it, many of us are pet owners, ourselves, and can all identify with the heartbreak associated with finding a stray or abandoned animal. These things combined make the SPCA’s efforts worthy of their community’s recognition.

“After speaking with Brenna, and discovering that the SPCA receives no government funding whatsoever, the decision to take them on was an easy one.”, says Rene Kowalchuk, Sales Manager at Denham Ford.

Denham Ford is proud to support local charities, and to date, has raised well over $10,000 in Drive One events, alone.

So bring the kids and your appetites and come visit Denham Ford’s new location at the north end of the strip on Sunday May 4, between 10 and 4, and test drive a new Ford to help us raise money for our friends at the SPCA!!

Richard Walker, Canada’s food forest pioneer and his crew will give a workshop on May 10 and 11 at the Clear Sky Center. at Clear Sky), College of the Rockies and Clear Sky Center are collaborating to present a seminar, happening May 9th at 6:30pm called Grow Your Health. This free seminar—taking place at the COTR main campus at 6:30 pm on May 9th —will feature Richard Walker sharing his favorite herbs and medicinal plants that you can try in your own home and garden to “grow your health”.

Richard Walker, an organic farmer from Edmonton, spent over 20 years converting 3.5 acres of degraded land into an abundant food forest with rare and unique fruit nuts, and medicinal plants from all over the world.

Richard has been hosting workshops and offering combined health and food forest garden consultations across BC for the last 5 years while maintaining his passion for food forests at his property in Oliver. The basic idea of a food forest system is that we design how we grow food based on natural forest principles & relationships. In other words, we copy the way elements in a forest co-exists. Forests don’t need to be fertilised by us, watered by us, weeded by us, or plowed by us. They are self-fertilising, selfregenerating, abundant, diverse and highly resilient. In an established food forest system, we don’t have to replant, rototill & fertilise every year. Food forests have a natural mulch layer, meaning

we don’t need to water as much, if at all.

“We know that the health of a human community depends on the health of the ecosystem,” says Catherine Pawasarat, Chief Visionary Officer for Clear Sky. When we know how to grow a variety of foods suited to our climate and lifestyles, we can enjoy a rich and nutritious diet from perennials, and “grow our health”though it will take us a while to change our conditioned habits about what we do and don’t like to eat! And, of course there will still always be room on our plates & in our gardens for annual vegetables, (who could give up tomatoes).

Wouldn’t you also love to try: Ostrich ferns & asparagus followed by Rhubarb Pear Pie with a walnut crust with a cup of home-grown seabuckthorn, mint or anise hyssop tea from your garden?

Clear Sky Center is delighted to collaborate with College of the Rockies, which shares a commitment to promoting health and wellbeing in our region with the “Grow Your Health” presentation.

To find out more about how you can grow your health contact COTR’s Continuing Education department at 250-4892751, ext. 3381.

To register for the two-day workshop at Clear Sky Center, contact Michelle Heinz, director of operations at michelle@clearskycenter.org or call 250429-3929.

Obituaries OBITUARY

Clouston Chalmers October 5, 1930-April 28, 2014 Clouston was born in South Shields, England on October 5, 1930. He and his wife Audrey immigrated to Canada in 1956 and settled in Kenora, Ontario before moving to Cranbrook in 1966, where Clouston opened a jewelry store.

A jeweler and watchmaker by profession, Clouston never hesitated to try his hand at new jobs and adventures. He was a goldsmith, a game warden, a miner, a corner store owner, and best of all the grandpa that everyone loved.

He found the funny side of almost any situation, and his huge laugh and smile was the first thing everybody noticed.

Clouston was pre-deceased by his sister Alice MacShane (Mac) and is survived by his brothers William (Maureen) and Graham (Sheila) Chalmers and his sister Joyce (Jack) Atkinson. As well as his nieces and nephews in England, Adrienne, Tony, Hilary, Keith and Judith.

Clouston leaves behind his wife of nearly 60 years, Audrey, and 3 sons, Graham, Duncan and David and his daughter Melissa Hamm (Bruce). Also missing him will be his 6 grandchildren, Cheryl-Lynn, Shaydon, Jeffery, Michael, Hannah, and Max. Go in peace Dad/Gramps, you were bigger than life, and we will miss you more than you know.

A long-time resident of the town he loved, everybody who knew Clouston is invited to his funeral service at the Cranbrook Alliance Church at 3:00 on Saturday, May 3, 2014.

OBITUARY

Lionel Heinrich April 20, 1934 - April 21, 2014 It is with deep sorrow that the family of Lionel Heinrich announces his passing on Monday, April 21, 2014 at 80 years of age in Cranbrook.

Lionel was born on April 20, 1934 in Churchbridge, Saskatchewan. He had many accomplishments in his life. He began his career as an NHL hockey player for the Boston Bruins in 1955 and 1956 - The original "6".

He continued on and became a very successful race horse owner and trainer winning many races with his thoroughbred horses in Canada and the USA. In 1972, Lionel decided to call Cranbrook home. Here he owned several businesses including Tamarack Trailers.

Lionel loved the outdoors. He enjoyed years of hunting big game animals, chasing cougars up and down the mountains with his many cougar hounds and also proudly accomplished getting his sheep "Grand Slam". Lionel spent many years pheasant and geese hunting in Alberta with his greatly loved Labrador dogs, his family and good friends Gordie and Frank. Port Alice on Vancouver Island was home to Lionel during the salmon season where he spent many hours on the ocean fishing, just to catch "The Big One"!

Lionel will be greatly missed by all his family, especially his wife and best friend of 56 years, Amy. Lionel is survived by his loving wife Amy, his children Doug (Patti), Dawn (Sylvan), Trish (George) and Janet (Dennis), his grandchildren Chelsey, Brenden, Kevin (Christine), Katie, Crystal (Trevor), Andrew (Kristin), Sheldon, Travis, Brittany, Annie (Adrien), Drew (Reagan) and David and his great grandchildren Natalie, Madeline and Jayce.

The family sincerely thanks all the doctors and nurses for their compassionate and tender care of Lionel. We would also like to thank the pharmacy staff at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

There will not be a funeral service at this time. The family will have a private memorial service for Lionel at a later date. Those wishing to make a memorial donation in honour of Lionel can do so to the: East Kootenay Regional Hospital ICU Fund, 13 – 24th Avenue North, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 3H9 - Attention: Donna Grainger; www.ekfh.ca; or by calling 250-489-6481.

"Grandpa" will forever be in the hearts of all his family.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Hugs: To Denham Ford’s Gord for being a wonderful salesmen and providing us with a great dealership experience. Stacy for being so friendly and helpful in setting up the financing so that we could purchase our NEW truck. Dan for getting our Bluetooth up and running and to the sales manager who gave us an AWESOME!!!!! deal on our brand new wonderful truck!!

Slugs: To all the people who are in such a hurry, and so hooked up to electronics that they have forgotten the art of conversation with their fellow man.

Friendly conversation is a pleasure to have, a one sided conversation with someone saying “YA..YA..YA” to you during this process is in short, RUDE. Stop rushing and texting. Go outside and take the dog for a walk and meet people.

Better yet, go and volunteer for the S.P.C.A. and share some love with the animals there. Trust me, they don’t text, nor skype, they just want to hang out with you and enjoy your company, no strings attached.

Hugs: Great big hugs to the Glass shop on the strip for their excellent service. You fixed my car’s leak and responded as soon as I drove in to inquire. Your service was super friendly, genuine and helpful. The price couldn’t be beat either.....

I hope your integrity and kindnesses are returned to you at least tenfold. Thanks so much for being honest and helpful, it really made my day.

Slugs: To the response about the 22,000 medical errors. I and many others have ‘gotten on’ with our lives after experiencing medical errors but our lives are changed dramatically and some have DIED.......can’t “get on” much further than that. Every Fathers Day when I bring flowers to the local cemetery due to medical errors, each Mothers Day my dearest friends kids go to the cemetery with flowers and dreams of hugging their Mom and telling her how much they love her we have ‘Gotten on” with our lives. Every day as I

watch my Mom struggle and suffer due to medical errors we have gotten on with life. It is a great deal different but we have had no choice but to ‘get on’ with it. LIFE IS SACRED and if you don’t know that working as a nurse and the importance of the PEOPLE in our lives then perhaps you need to step back and re-evaluate your priorities. ALL LIFE is SACRED and deserves SAFE and responsible medical care. ALWAYS!!! I hope you remember this when it is time to strike for more pay. How does your pocket being full of cash help your patients?....I never did get that.

Slugs: Big slugs to the lawyer that overbilled and took advantage of my elderly dear old Mom and then said he had done it for my sake. You overcharged her, dragged it out over almost a year, overextended your appointments, disrespected her integrity and knowledge of her own mind, and then refused to finish the job you were paid to do. Refusing to answer valid questions because we had the strength to stand up to your tactics was beyond childish, and having to pay another to complete the job you were paid for is not only unprofessional & unethical, it is sad. She trusted you in a very important and personal matter and YOU took advantage of her. These type of practices are one of the reasons such terrible things are said about lawyers and their rumored lack of integrity. Shame on you!! Huge hugs and prayers to the people in your personal life and future clients. I hope you realize sometime in the near future the importance of integrity.

Hugs: A big hug to the ladies who paid for our lunch at the Cottage on Saturday, April 19th, when my friend and I were there celebrating my birthday. I wish I could meet you so I could give you a big hug in person. God Bless you both!!

Hugs: Huge hugs to Shannon at the Kootenay Advertiser for handling, editing and submitting the hugs and slugs. Thank you Shannon for giving us all a voice and a way to share the actions of the Great people we run into here in our area.

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
