Report calls for phase out of the independent child advocate

ately put an extra $50 million into the budget of the troubled Ministry of Children

and Family Development, and wind down the independent watchdog that high-

lights the worst cases of young people who die in ministry care.

Those are among the recommendations of a review by former deputy minister Bob Plecas, released Monday.

Plecas said the ministry needs a four-year strategic plan to build up resources, starting with hiring 120 additional child protection social workers in the first year and building from there.

Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen TurpelLafond has issued a string of reports on child protection failures. The most recent one looked at an aboriginal teen named

world’s most wellknown travel guide, has responded after

Cranbrook residents took umbrage with the guide’s description of

Cranbrook.

Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs (left) and Grand Chief Doug Kelly of the First Nations Health Council stand in support of Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, who is serving her second term. The majority of children and youth in care are aboriginal.

By Tom Fletcher The B.C. government should immedi-

Paige, who died of a drug overdose in Vancouver’s downtown east side after 30 child-protection reports and interventions with her alcoholic mother.

Another recent case was Alex Gervais, an 18-year-old who fell to his death in September from a fourth-floor hotel room where he had been housed by the ministry after his Abbotsford group home was shut down due to poor conditions.

Turpel-Lafond rejected Plecas’ suggestion that an internal “contrarian” and a ministry spokesperson similar to those

employed by police forces would be trusted by the public to identify and report on issues in the ministry.

Plecas said privacy rules need to be changed so an allparty committee of MLAs can be briefed on child death and serious injury cases, allowing opposition MLAs to provide the oversight and criticism they bring to other ministries of the B.C. government.

Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said she can’t commit to specific financial measures until the provincial budget is presented in Febru-

ary, but she has the support of Premier Christy Clark and the cabinet to increase resources for the ministry.

Turpel-Lafond said accumulated cuts and freezes to the ministry budget leave it at least $100 million below what it needs to keep up with its caseload.

She also objected to Plecas’ statement in his report that no system will ever protect all children in government care from death, which he described as rare. There have been 90 deaths so far in the current fiscal year, Turpel-Lafond said.

sorry about the description and certainly didn’t mean to cause offence. We task our writers to personally visit every place they write about and ask them to provide a fair and honest evaluation, but we are constantly reassessing content with every new edition,” said Natalie Nicolson, representing Lonely Planet.

The mugs she is referring to were produced by the crew at Cranbrookcity.com, a group who is planning to donate cash from sales of the mugs to a local charity.

In various incarnations, the page on the Lonely Planet website referred to Cranbrook as “a depressingly workaday town” and “an old downtown area with little charm (and some less charming lowlifes). Skip it and head on to either Kimberley or Creston.”

Nicolson points out that the phrase “a depressingly workaday

Visit save.ca/cashback to Learn More

town” came from an older review.

The latest review states: “The area’s main center, 31km southeast of Kimberley, Cranbrook is a dusty crossroads. Hwy 3/95 bisects the town, which is a charmless strip of motels. However, it has one great reason for stopping: the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel. It has some fine examples of classic Canadian trains, including the luxurious 1929 edition of the Trans-Canada Limited, a legendary train that ran from Montréal to Vancouver.”

That is an improvement over previous descriptions. Nicolson said that Lonely Planet’s destination editor covering Canada, Alexander Howard, will take the comments the company has been getting on social media into account for forthcoming editions.

“Although the focus of the Starlite Campaign is about lighting stars atop the East Kootenay Regional Hospital roofline it really is the stars on the ground that are making a huge difference in the quality of health care here in the East Kootenay.

This year the $10,000 gift is being dedicated to support the East Kootenay Regional Hospital Oncology

Unit.

“We all know someone whose lives, individually and the family, have been affected with a cancer diagnosis. The gift to the oncology unit is our way of highlighting and saying thanks for the talented and dedicated oncology team that provides services to individuals from throughout the region,” explains Chris Thom, Owner at Rocky Mountain Diesel & Autobody.

Lynn Townsend, Calendar Club operator, donated 40 teddy bears to the B.C. Ambulance Service (BCAS). Receiving the gift was Steve Miskulin, BCAS Unit Chief. “This really helps sick kids to stay distracted when they have to take an ambulance,” said Miskulin. “We are very grateful.” Townsend has also donated an additional 38 teddy bears to the Angel Tree initiative.

Students in Mrs. Halldorson’s Grade 5/6 class recently spearheaded the annual Food Drive at Kootenay Orchards Elementary School. These students were responsible for going to classrooms each morning to collect and tally the items that were brought in. On December 16th, they packed all of the items up and sent them to the Cranbrook Food Bank. This year a total of 1322 items were collected. It is so nice to see a school come together to support those in need. Thank you Kootenay Orchards students and families for your generous donations this year!

Spirit of the Holidays winner

Cranbrook’s downtown has a mighty festive feel to it these days.

Along with the City’s lamp post decorations and tree lighting, shoppers have been treated to creative and alluring displays in almost every store front window since the end of November. From old fashion Christmas themes to a dazzling evening light show it’s well worth a leisurely stroll.

The Cranbrook Downtown Business Association, wanting to add incentive to the decorating tradition, collaborated with SNAPd East Kootenay and Sweet Gestures Chocolate Shoppe to hold the 1st annual “Spirit of the Holidays” decorating contest, open to all downtown shop locations.

Joey Hoechsmann, DBA Chairman, explained, “One of the DBA’s mandates is to create a better downtown experience. We were very impressed with the amount of downtown businesses that have embraced the holiday spirit and decorated their windows and stores.This contest is a great way to encourage downtown businesses to have a little fun and attract shoppers in the process.”

On Thursday December 17 Lotus Books was named the winner. Owner Erin Dalton claimed the prize which includes a ¼ page ad in SNAPd East Kootenay’s January 2016 edition and a stunning (and delicious) Christmas Holiday Basket from Sweet Gestures Chocolate Shoppe. “The book tree in our window was built from hand-rolled cones made of pages

from a misprinted copy of local author Bruce Kirkby’s Sand Dance. Thanks to our friends & followers on Facebook for taking the time to comment & share the photos”, said Dalton when asked about her shop’s unique window presentation.

Both Snapd and the Cranbrook DBA were pleased with their partnership on this first annual Holiday Decorating contest and are grateful to Sweet Ges-

tures for offering to enhance the prize. “We encouraged participation from the downtown business community urging them to be creative, be festive and have fun,” said Snapd owner Janice Sommerfeld. “There are many businesses that have their windows beautifully decorated and we invite them to participate next year. Congratulations to Lotus Books as the 2015 winner!”

Hugs: To the gracious woman at the Dollar Store in the Tamarack Mall who helped my son out. He is recovering from an accident and unable to work.

for his items. This lady stepped in and paid for his merchandise. Thank you so much, that was very kind of you.

Slugs: To David Wilks committee for not yet (December 2015) picking up election signs between Wycliffe (airport junction) and Marysville

(Jim Ogilvie Way).

If tears could build a stairway, And memories were a lane, I would walk right up to heaven, To bring you home again.

No farewell words were spoken, No time to say good-bye, You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why.

My heart still aches with sadness, And secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know.

Missing you...

Love Mom, Dad, Jordan and Daymon

Recycling Tips That’s a Wrap

Paper based wrapping paper can be recycled in any of the yellow bins in the East Kootenay and in the curbside recycling programs in Fernie and Invermere. From cards and envelopes to wrapping and tissue paper, please recycle as much as possible.

Recyclable: ✓ Paper based gift wrap ✓ Cards ✓Envelopes ✓ Gift tags ✓ Tissue paper ✓ Cardboard boxes ✓ Brown shipping/packaging paper

Not Recyclable ✕ Foil based wrapping paper ✕ Envelopes or gift tags with foil lining ✕ Bows and Ribbons

If everyone in Canada wrapped just three gifts in reused paper or gift bags, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 hockey rinks.

What You Need to Know About Glass The glass collection bins in the East Kootenay are for container glass only.

That means only container glass that holds food and beverages. Some examples include: ✓ Jam jars ✓ Pickle jars ✓ Cheez whiz jars ✓ Olive oil jars ✓ Iced tea or wine bottles These containers must be well rinsed with lids removed.

The following are NOT accepted in the glass bins: ✕ Dishes of any kind (clear drinking glasses, pyrex dishes, corel ware, pottery, plates, etc). No dishes! ✕ Shower doors, windshields ✕ Lightbulbs ✕ Picture frame glass ✕ Glass trinkets (like candlestick holders and tree decorations)

Flip Your Lid!

Metal lids cannot be recycled in the yellow bins. Please make sure you remove the lids before putting glass containers in the recycling bin. Metal lids can be recycled for free at Columbia Recycle in Marysville.

Please Keep it Clean Our yellow recycling bins are often on private property and it is so important that we keep them clean.

Please put all recyclables in the bin.

Over the holidays, the bins see a huge increase in volume.

While our contactor will be working hard to empty the bins more frequently, sometimes they will be full. If you encounter a full bin, please look for another bin in the area or come back. Never leave recyclables on or around the bins. Thank you for helping us keep our recycling areas clean!
