BC Nurses push for new hires Tom Fle tcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Members of the B.C. Nurses’ Union brought a sea of pink umbrellas to the B.C. legislature Thursday to call on the B.C. government to honour a provision that requires health authorities to replace absent nurses.

BCNU president Gail Duteil said 2012 contract provision replacing absent nurses can’t be implemented without more registered nurses hired to provide the relief.

“It’s a sad fact that we don’t

have enough nurses to deliver safe care for meeting the staffing mandated by our collective agreement,” Duteil said. “We don’t have enough nurses to backfill vacancies, to backfill absences, and we don’t have enough nurses to meet the daily spikes in acuity.”

The recent settlement of 1,600 union grievances for staffing includes $5 million for specialty nurse training, $1 million to support increased RN staffing and $2 million in “grievance settlement funds” paid to nurses affected by staff-

ing shortages. The staffing fund is available to licensed practical nurses who want to upgrade their training.

Health Minister Terry Lake said the interim agreement is a step towards renewing the latest BCNU contract, which expired in March 2014.

“We worked through a mediator in the last month or so and came to an agreement, so I think we’re in a good place to work towards our new contract,” Lake said.

“We recognize there are some areas like specialist nurs-

ing where we do have challenges, and we have committed some of our funding to recruit and train more specialist nurses, and more community nurses as well.”

Nurses cheered as Duteil reminded them that their “grievalanche” had an effect. She said the union documented 10,000 shifts that were not filled during a six-week period at health facilities around the province, and represent only the “tip of the iceberg.”

child custody issues.

3:20 p.m. An individual turned in ammunition at the local detachment. The ammunition had been found in a recycling bin.

3:41 p.m. A theft was reported at a local business.

8:00 p.m. A restaurant reported that diners with a bill over $100 had dashed away without paying.

10:56 p.m. A red Chevrolet Corvette with B.C. plates was reported to be speeding and passing unsafely.

May 16 2:03 a.m. An individual was assaulted and belongings were stolen.

3:30 p.m. A local hotel reported that there was a intoxicated female in the lobby.

7:40 p.m. A disturbance was reported outside of a cabin in the Tye Lake area.

8:49 p.m. Report of camera equipment and other items stolen from a vehicle.

11:50 p.m. Report of an assault. The two individuals involved are known to each other.

4:04 p.m. BC Ambulance requested assistance with a patient at Koocanusa due to a possible drug overdose.

9:34 p.m. A single vehicle accident occurred on Industrial Road 2.

The lone occupant of the vehicle had minor injuries and had to be

removed by fire crews.

The driver was taken to hospital and will likely be facing impaired driving charges.

Drugs seized Continued from page 1 Conditions include not to be in contact with each other and abide by a curfew of 11 pm to 6 am.

Earlier this month, three persons were arrested in Cranbrook and cocaine along with various pills seized.

The Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction Unit had initiated an investigation into a person believed to be involved in the drug trade. They located and arrested the individual along with two others on May 8. A search of the persons involved located approxi-

mately three grams of cocaine, five grams of crack cocaine and various pills (10) believed to be Ecstasy, OxyContin and/or Fentanyl. Over $500 cash and three cell phones were also seized.

All three persons went before a Judicial Justice of Peace on Trafficking Charges and were released for court June 8. Two persons (a male, 39, and female, 21) were from Cranbrook, one male (29) had an address in Armstrong.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING CAMAL Foundation

Christopher Casey 250-489-3918 office@trainsdeluxe.com

The curtain rises tonight on another in a long line of student musical productions tonight at McKim Theatre as Selkirk Secondary presents Beauty and the Beast.

Cast and crew are all hoping for just as much success as in previous years when they presented such diverse shows as Legally Blond and Les Miserable.

Guiding students through all these productions has been music teacher Sven Heyde, and it has been a learning experience for him as much as for his students.

“I think my biggest piece of learning is simply that putting on a production involves juggling a great variety of vastly

different things,” Heyde said.

“Swinging a hammer while building set pieces and then an hour later wielding a baton. I guess I’ve just learned to enjoy that great diversity of demands.

“Difficulties and challenges centre around turning unrefined visions into reality. Sometimes I want to do something one way and am brought back to reality by the confines of the space or other considerations.

“One of my favourite things is to push the limits of what is possible. The McKim Theatre wasn’t designed to house musical productions, for example, and I enjoy approaching challenges from different perspectives to find solutions. The same goes for casting decisions

and making a scene come to life. For example, Courtney Crawford is playing Gaston, as a girl, and while I didn’t see that when going into casting, I think it works great and has brought a new angle to the role.

“Certainly my biggest highlight though from all these productions is just watching the kids do something they didn’t know was possible, be better than they thought they could be.”

One of the things that really sets these productions apart is the participation of a live orchestra to accompany the students.

“The musicians continue to be amazing,” Heyde said. “I’ve been lucky enough to have several of the same faces back over

the years. These are high-level players who definitely give up a lot of their time to help the students have an amazing experience. Conducting these fantastic groups is definitely a highlight for me every year. It’s a huge pleasure to work with them.”

Beauty and the Beast plays at McKim Theatre in Kimberley from tonight, May 20-23 at 7:30 p.m. nightly, with shows at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on May 23rd. Tickets are available at McKim School office in Kimberley and Lotus Books in Cranbrook, and at the door. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students and seniors, and for the May 23rd matinée children 5 and under are free.

ten bands, both pipe and military and highland dancing. We need to book soon because everyone does their schedules well ahead of time.”

Cooper explained that there will be plenty of sub-committees to assist the chair person, but someone is needed to tie everything together.

The Pipe Band is looking at August of 2017 for the Tattoo, as there is a window during that time of no other conflicting highland events in B.C. and Alberta.

“Maybe we could even tie it in to the Arts Festival,” she said. “We are open to ideas.”

If you think you could help out, call Liela at 250-427-5642.

The Band has already started fundraising with a 50/50 draw. Only 1,000 tickets will be sold and you have an opportunity to win $10,000.

The venerable Kimberley Pipe Band will turn 90 years old in 2017 — quite a remarkable anniversary.

Kimberley residents may remember the Pipe Band’s 80th anniversary in 2007, when they threw a Tattoo at the Civic Centre attended by a number of different bands.

For the 90th they want to do the same thing again, maybe even bigger and better.

But planning has to start now in order to book the various pipe and military bands, and the Pipe Band is looking for a community champion to oversee the big event.

“We are starting the planning now but we’d really like to find a volunteer to help us organize it,” said Liela Cooper from the Kimberley Pipe Band. “We’d like to have

the end of June.

“We’re almost there, there are just a few little things we have to do,” said Lento. “We don’t have to pass it till the end of June, but we have given it first and second reading.

“Staff is anxious to get on because once we pass the budget, there are different projects they can do, so the sooner, the better.”

Representatives from the Kootenay Ice also made a presentation to pitch a midday game for next February that can be attended by schools across the district.

‘Core library’ closer to completion

Government grant helps preserve the undersurface record for future Kootenay mines F o r t h e Tow n s m a n

The East Kootenay Chamber of Mines is $10,000 closer to completing a “core library” of geological drill samples thanks to a contribution from the B.C. government.

Drill core samples from mining exploration programs in the region have been acquired by the East Kootenay Chamber of Mines since 2004 with the intention of protecting this valuable information and developing a core library for studying and understanding the formation of the geology of the East Kootenay.

“These core samples represent the research that prospectors and companies have

done over the decades,” said Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and Kootenay East MLA. “It is an invaluable record of what lies beneath the surface and what could very well be the foundation of the next large mine in the East Kootenay. I applaud the EK Chamber of Mines for their foresight and commitment to mining in our region.”

This geological archive contains sequences of sedimentary rocks deposited in an ancient ocean, and reveals the stresses they underwent from the time of burial through the folding and faulting that created the Rocky Mountains and Rocky Mountain Trench.

“I would like to sincerely thank the government of B.C. and especially Minister Bennett for their continuing financial support of the Fort Steele Drill Core Library,” East Kootenay Chamber of Mines president Jason Jacob said. “Because of the government’s help, we will succeed in preserving invaluable drill core, such as the only surviving drill core from the great Sullivan mine in Kimberley.”

Beginning in 2004, the East Kootenay Chamber of Mines stored the cores at various private storage facilities. Then, at Bennett’s suggestion and with support from the provincial government, a search for a lo-

cation on Crown land began and a portion of an abandoned gravel pit on Mause Creek Road, two kilometres south of Fort Steele, was secured.

The site is now fenced and 16 racks have been built, but they require covers to keep rain and snow off the core boxes. Over time and with weathering, the core boxes stacked on pallets are beginning to deteriorate and some core has been lost.

The B.C. government’s $10,000 grant will go toward building covers and caps to protect the cores from the weather and ensure these precious records are preserved.

Beachcomber set for EKFH fundraiser Submit ted

Shane Ouillette, Store Manager at Beachcomber Hot Tubs invited EKFH’s Donna Grainger and Patricia Whalen to stop in for a look at some of the many wonderful items to be featured at the upcoming Beachcomber Spring Splash Sales Event on May 22 & 23.

In addition to the great sales promotion, Beachcomber will also be hosting a charity barbeque from 3 p.m to 7 p.m. on the Friday evening.

The cost of the barbeque is by donation with all proceeds heading to EKFH for its general unrestricted fund.

“We sincerely appreciate Murray Floyd and Shane for choosing EKFH and its general fund to benefit from this year’s Spring Splash event,” said

Patricia Whalen, Donna Grainger and Shane Ouillette at Beachcomber Hot Tubs.

Sacrificing farmland for climate change

It

was 2008 when word first surfaced that B.C. farmland was being bought up to grow trees as a European carbon offset.

Reckitt Benckiser Inc., a British-based global manufacturer of household products such as Lysol spray and Calgon laundry soap, bought 1,500 hectares east of Vanderhoof and planted aspen. For comparison, that’s about the size of downtown Vancouver from 16th and Oak to Stanley Park.

Since tree growing is permitted in the Agricultural Land Reserve, a use intended for fruit, ornamental or nursery trees, no permission was needed. And to meet the carbon offset rules of the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change, a 100-year restrictive covenant against harvesting trees was issued by B.C.’s land titles office.

Goodbye farmland.

After that deal, the B.C. government changed legislation in 2011 to require permission from the Agricultural Land Commission to make these covenants valid.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick says he is waiting for that process to be tested.

It likely will be soon. Reckitt has bought another 7,000 hectares of cleared farmland from Prince George down through the Cariboo to Quesnel. NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham has been tracking these acquisitions, and she says there are

more deals in the works.

Last fall, the Bulkley Nechako Regional District wrote to Victoria Wood, Reckitt Benckiser’s “global head of sustainability,” telling her that “the planting of trees on centrally located and productive agricultural lands is not appropriate” and would weaken local farm economies.

Wood responded that the BC VIEWS RB Trees project targets only “marginally producTom tive” land such as pasture, Fletcher abandoned farms or those that have been up for sale for long periods.

Former Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson raised the issue in the legislature in 2008, noting that Crown land near Vanderhoof had been sold for farming, bought by a numbered company and then “flipped” for around $1 million to RB Trees.

Now mayor of Quesnel, Simpson takes issue with the company’s claims with his usual shyness.

“It’s bull----,” he told me. “This isn’t marginal land.”

He said it includes prime alfalfa fields and historical ranch and forage crop lands. In one case, neighbours found out about the new use when they saw a helicopter spraying herbicide to prepare the area for tree seedlings.

In the Cariboo as in other rural B.C. areas, aging farmers want to retire and

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

young people keen to work seven days a week are in short supply. So naturally there is pressure to sell.

Perhaps Letnick is right, and the ALC will stop productive farmland from being turned back into forest. While we’re waiting for that, here are a couple of other questions.

What happens when these forests burn? The first big forest fire of 2015 grew out of control near Prince George last week. And since aspen doesn’t last 100 years, what is its real carbon offset value?

How’s that European carbon trading market doing? It’s a mess, with the cost of emitting a tonne of carbon dioxide fallen far below what’s needed to be effective, and Interpol investigating various schemes to game the system.

Remember B.C’s own Pacific Carbon Trust? This Gordon Campbell brainchild to sell carbon offsets was quietly greenhouse gassed after the Auditor General revealed its first two big projects were of questionable value to say the least.

Finally, does anyone really think that returning B.C.’s scarce farmland to forest is a good way to change the weather?

Would it offset the loss of local production and trucking in farm produce from elsewhere?

And where are B.C.’s tireless food security advocates on this dubious scheme?

Local hockey players as international envoys Submit ted

On March 16, 2015 a group of 10 hockey players aged 11 to 14 years old from Cranbrook and Kimberley embarked on an epic adventure travelling to Australia for the 2015 International Friendship Hockey Tournament. The trip started in Sydney where they visited the Taronga Zoo, Sydney Opera house, Harbour Bridge and hung out in Hyde Park before they boarded a bus to Newcastle.

Newcastle hosted 10 hockey teams from around the world to play for 9 days. The tournament originally started in Japan in 1989 and has been hosted every second year rotating between Japan, Canada, America, Australia and New Zealand. The goal of the tournament is to share the game of hockey in a friendly, non-competitive atmosphere. Points are awarded based on sportsmanship, goodwill, team-building and the sharing of knowledge about the game. The players were billeted by local families and over the 9 days lifelong friendships were formed. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience for these young boys.

The players spent 2 years fundraising for the trip holding raffles, bottle drives, hot dog sales, bagging groceries and puck tosses at the Kootenay ICE Games.

This trip would not be possible without the support of the commu-

nity and local business sponsors: RDEK, Brothers Insurance, Players Bench, Cranbrook Arby’s, Eastside Mario’s, Kootenay Insurance Services, Pages Book Emporium, EKC, Hillcrest Hyundai, Spring Honda, Premier Plumbing & Heating Ltd, Dr. Spowart, Fiddler Construction, Denham Ford, The Bedroom, Cranbrook Dodge, Western Financial Group, H & R Block, BMO, Geoff’s Construction, Steeples Construction Ltd, USW Local 1-405, Kootenay Marine, Pepsi Cola, Kootenay Chiropractic, Cranbrook Vision Care, Landmark Columbia #5, Superstore 1553, Pharmasave, Dr. S.E.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Pressure builds to an unprecedented level. You might feel as if you no longer connect with a friend at a distance. This person could be closed off. A family member or a matter involving your domestic life will need some attention. Tonight: Put up your feet and relax.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You are likely to express yourself in a more emotional way than usual; you just can’t seem to hold back. How you deal with a loved one could change after a discussion where you feel as if he or she is withholding information. Tonight: A private conversation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll smile and handle a personal matter with greater ease than you have in a while. However, a partner could be somewhat withdrawn. Your intensity is likely to draw this person out of his or her shell. Find out what is going on. Tonight: As you like it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be more emotional than usual, or at least you’ll express your sensitive side as you rarely do. You seem to be hitting the same obstacle over and over.

For some of you, this obstacle could be a boss or a partner. Tonight: Be as clear as possible.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Know when to keep your thoughts to yourself. You might not be too impressed by what you are hearing from a loved one. By saying little, you allow this person the opportunity to grow past his or her present view. What has been a given suddenly could change. Tonight: Vanish quickly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A meeting might prove more important than you realize. Relax and enjoy those around you.

Know that everyone doesn’t need to be on the same page as you. Pressure builds around a personal issue, but you can’t force someone to thaw out. Tonight: Read between the lines.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Tension builds as you try to get

Tundra

past an obstacle. You might not have the right words to handle a problem with someone you look up to. You could feel as if this person is not being open or authentic. Tonight: Deal with a family member who seems to be doing a lot of squawking.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance whom you care about. You might be overly cautious about a financial matter, but at least you are less likely to make a mistake this way.

Caring evolves to a new level if you share a problem. Tonight: Go with the flow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll want to understand what is motivating a close loved one.

You might not get a clear answer at this point. However, if you observe, you will gain some insight into what is happening. Remain sensitive to this person, as a lot is going on with him or her. Tonight: Dinner for two.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might have thought you had a situation under control, but you could find out other-

wise. You also seem to be unusually reserved, as you sit back and watch what is happening.

Just note that you probably have made a miscalculation. Tonight: Listen to what others are sharing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to focus less on fun and more on those in your daily life who need some attention. Schedule visits to the doctor, and make any other appointments that are needed.

Continue taking good care of yourself, as it will open up more possibilities. Tonight: Hang out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your creativity might be challenged. You will want to rethink a problem that surrounds a boss or an older parent. You could feel as if you have pushed sufficiently to have a certain outcome.

Perhaps a hands-off approach would produce better results.

Tonight: Let the fun begin.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I recently dated a woman who never offered to pay for a meal, a movie or so much as an ice cream cone.

We went out several times.

We’re both in our late 50s and earn good incomes. She says she won’t pay for things until she is in a committed relationship. I have no problem paying for anything that I invite her to. But she would suggest things for us to do and never offer to pay. What’s the etiquette these days? -- Ron Dear Ron: This is often a generational issue. Women who were brought up to believe the man pays for everything sometimes have difficulty sharing the costs. And some men resist it, as well.

But women who feel uncomfortable paying half the tab in a restaurant can reciprocate by inviting the guy over for a home-cooked meal or getting tickets to a play or a concert. A woman who refuses to make any effort in that direction is not playing fair.

Dear Annie: Last fall we had a baby girl, and at the last minute, I decided on the name “Jane.” Unaware of this, my husband’s cousin’s wife commented that she had always loved the name “Jane” and that she and her husband had picked it out as the name they would someday give their child. Had I known this, I would have selected a different name for my child.

Well, this cousin is now pregnant with a girl. And even though our child is named “Jane,” they are planning to name theirs the same. I know I can’t tell them to change it because I had it first, but it still upsets my husband and me. I believe, out of respect, they should pick a different name. After all, there were a lot of names I wanted, but they were already taken, so I chose something else.

Am I wrong? How do I calm down about this? -- I Picked It First Dear Picked: No one has a monopoly on baby names, even if you are close relatives. This cousin picked “Jane” independently of you. And you admit selecting “Jane” at the last minute.

No one is intentionally trying to hurt someone else or deprive them of being special. We agree that it is easier when close family members choose different names, but truly, it is not as important as you think. In fact, in some families, cousins are named after the same grandparent and carry the same name across generations. It is considered an honor.

Here’s how you calm down: Your child was born first. People already know her as “Jane.” When the cousin’s child is born, people will be inclined to give her a nickname in order to differentiate between the two babies. Adopting a lighthearted attitude about this will smooth everyone’s ruffled feathers, including yours, and will allow your child and her newest cousin to become good friends. They will think having the same name is amazing and wonderful.

Please don’t be so upset that you inadvertently teach them otherwise.

Cranbrook & Fernie McDonald’s Supervisor Roger Rusnell and Owner/Operator Dave Kaiser and McHappy Day volunteer Ollie Evans present Kim Levie, Assistant Director of Community Connections Society of Southeast BC, with a $7,418 donation for the Kootenay Child Development Centre.

$7418 for Kootenay Child Development Centre The local McDonald’s Restaurant raised $7,418 through its participation in the 22nd McHappy Day, a national fundraiser held in more than 1,400 McDonald’s restaurants across Canada.

On this day, $1 from every Big Mac, Happy Meal and hot beverage sold went to benefit children’s charities across the country.

In Cranbrook & Fernie, all funds raised on May 6 were earmarked for the Kootenay Child Development Centre.

“At McDonald’s, we’re proud to be continuing our long-standing support of local charities,” said Cranbrook & Fernie McDonald’s owner/operator David Kaiser. “The Kootenay Child Development Centre is an asset to our community and the families that they support.”

Kim Levie, Assistant Director of Community Connections Society of Southeast BC, said she was thrilled to accept the donation.

“Our ultimate goal is to help improve the lives of children in our

community, and we are delighted to work with a company who shares that purpose.”

As part of the McHappy Day celebrations, Cranbrook McDonald’s was joined by members of the Cranbrook Fire Department, Kootenay ICE, B104/The Drive Radio Station, and volunteers from the Kootenay Child Development Centre, Cranbrook McDonald’s Coffee Club and Cranbrook Walking Club who worked behind the counter and in the lobby on McHappy Day.

Mystery space plane set for launch; NASA hush-hush on flying experiment Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - An American mini military space plane was poised for liftoff Wednesday on another long orbital test flight.

But as usual, the Air Force isn’t saying much about the unmanned mission.

This will be the fourth flight of an X-37B space plane, a secretive, experimental program run by the Air Force.

The three previous missions also began with rocket launches from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

The mystery test vehicle — essentially a technology test bed — is designed to orbit the Earth and then land like one of NASA’s old shuttles. It is operated robotically, without anyone on board, and is reusable. It is 29 feet long —

The X-37B space plane. about one-fourth the size of a NASA shuttle.

The longest X-37B flight lasted about 675 days; touchdown was last October. There’s no official word on how long this one will stay up. All three previous missions ended in California.

NASA has a materials experiment aboard, while the Planetary So-

ciety is tagging along with a solar-sail demo.

Although largely mum about this X-37B flight, the Air Force has acknowledged a thruster experiment involving electric propulsion. Air Force researchers want to check design modifications to ion thrusters already flying on some advanced military communication satellites.
