Province looking to hire more than 1,600 additional nurses

Photo Black Press

BC Nurses’ Union president Gayle Duteil speaks at a rally protesting the nursing shortage at the B.C. legislature, May 2015.

By Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government is planning to catch up on its long-standing nursing shortage by hiring 1,643 full-time Registered Nurses by the end of March.

Health Minister Terry Lake and B.C. Nurses’ Union president Gayle Duteil announced Tuesday they have reached

a staff increase agreement that has been the main obstacle to signing a new contract. The previous deal expired nearly two years ago, and the dispute over staffing was headed for arbitration.

Duteil said the last BCNU contract in 2012 contained a commitment to fill these positions, but more than

1,600 have not been.

“To the nurses working 16-hour shifts today, to the nurses working short in the emergency department and operating rooms across B.C., to community nurses with overwhelming caseloads, this agreement means relief is on the way,” Duteil said.

Lake said the first priority is to offer full-

time positions to some of the 7,000 casual nurses working in B.C. Nurses from other provinces would be the next choice, and international recruiting would take place after that.

“I think there will be a pool of nurses who may be moving back with their families to British Columbia, given the economic downturn in Alberta,” Lake said.

By region, the plan targets recruiting of 400 nurses for Fraser Health, 300 for Interior Health, 290 for Island Health, 100 for Northern Health, 235 for Vancouver Coastal Health, 238 for the Provincial Health Authority and 80 for Providence Health Care, which runs St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver.

Fraser Health CEO Michael Marchbank said each nursing posi-

tion costs the health authority about $100,000 a year, and the new positions can be accommodated from existing budgets.

NDP health critic Judy Darcy questioned whether that many nurses can be hired in little more than two months, after the original 2012 promise to hire more than 2,000 nurses has only resulted

in about 500 up to now.

“We know that the long waits for hip replacement, knee replacement, you name it, has been due to shortages, including nursing shortages,” Darcy said.

“We’ve been paying incredible overtime.

Huge burnout, high injury rates, wait lists, hallway medicine, all of those things are a consequence not having

met this promise.”

Duteil said 16-hour shifts have become “the new normal” for many RNs, and the agreement is a relief. She urged casual nurses in B.C. to contact the union by email immediately at hireanurse@bcnu.org to express interest in the new positions.

EKFH’s 8th annual Starlite Campaign is drawing nearer to a close however its latest gift couldn’t be more appropriately aligned to the campaign’s focus of supporting regional community health care programs.

The Mr. & Mrs. P. A. Woodward’s Foundation located in Vancouver has long been a strong supporter of health care in the East Kootenay through an alliance it shares with the East Kootenay Foundation for Health.

The Starlite Campaign has received an incredible gift of $27,924 from the foundation to purchase six arterial brachial index machines for the Cranbrook, Kimberley and Golden Health Units and Home Support Programs located in Creston, Fernie and Sparwood.

ABI machines measure the ratio of the blood pressure in the lower legs to the blood pressure in the arms.

Compared to the arm, lower blood pressure in the leg is an indication of blocked arteries (peripheral artery disease).

The ABI is calculated by dividing the systolic blood pressure at the ankle by the systolic blood pressures in the arm. People with peripheral artery disease are at an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, poor circulation and leg pain.

“What a beautiful philanthropic story of the power of legacy giving by the Woodward family. Access to this testing with the purchase of these ABI

Views B.C. Views: This is your province on weed

by Tom Fletcher With unlicensed marijuana dispensaries popping up in urban areas and thousands of unregulated medical licences for home growing still in legal limbo, the Trudeau government is starting work on its promise to legalize recreational use.

Marijuana was a media darling in the recent election, but meeting in Vancouver with provincial ministers last week, federal Health Minister Jane Philpott found herself preoccupied with issues deemed more urgent.

These include shifting our post-war acute hospital model to community primary care, tackling aboriginal health care needs, pooling pharmaceutical purchases to slow rising costs, and meeting an urgent Supreme Court of Canada directive to legalize assisted dying.

At the closing news conference in Vancouver, Philpott was asked how recreational marijuana should be sold. Licensed medical growers want exclusive rights do it by mail as permitted by the Harper government, another measure forced by our high court. That would shut out the rash of supposedly medical storefronts, which city halls in Vancouver and elsewhere imagine they can regulate.

Philpott said the question is “premature” and federal-provincial justice ministers were dealing with it at their meeting. Ottawa will

have a “task force” too.

Vancouver descended into a pot store free-forall due to benign neglect from council and police, and Victoria isn’t far behind. Vancouver Coun. Kerry Jang, a rare voice of reason in the Big Smoke, has protested dispensaries using street hawkers to attract young buyers, and pot stores setting up near schools.

Other communities, more aware of their limitations, have resisted issuing business licences. One recent proposal in the Victoria suburb of View Royal came from a fellow who insisted marijuana extract had cured his cancer. This is typical of claims that proliferate on the Internet, and is one of many warning signs about dispensaries that put up red cross signs to sell pot products with exotic names.

B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake was more forthcoming a few days earlier, responding to a Vancouver reporter who judged marijuana more interesting than his justannounced plan to hire 1,600 more nurses by the end of March.

Lake noted that Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is keen to sell marijuana through the province’s monopoly liquor stores. B.C.’s government liquor store union has also endorsed this idea, forming an unlikely alliance with non-union private stores to get in on the action.

“There are public health officials that I’ve talked to who say that

the co-location of marijuana and liquor sales is not advisable from a public health perspective,” Lake said. “I think whatever we do it has to be highly regulated, quality control has to be excellent and above all we must protect young people.”

Yes, liquor stores check ID. But the notion that marijuana might be sold next to beer and vodka in government stores deserves sober second thought, and serious scientific work of the kind that has shown damage to developing brains from teenage marijuana use.

Of course all of this urban hand-wringing over pot stores ignores the de facto legalization that has existed across B.C. for decades.

The Nelson Star had a funny story last week about a local woman’s discovery on Google Earth. Zooming in on area mountains, one finds not only the Purcell landmark Loki Peak, but also Weed Peak, Grow Op Peak, Cannabis Peak and Hydroponic Peak.

Whatever the source of this cyber-prank, it could also be applied to other regions of B.C. For the record, I’ll restate my long-standing position that legalization is the only logical answer. I’ll say the same about other drugs that drive most B.C. crime, but that’s a subject for another day.

Letter: An appeal from the United Way The United Way East Kootenay regrets having to report that the 2015 fundraising campaign is currently $45,000 short of the $175,000 goal.

The 2014 Campaign realized amazing results, due in large part to the Finning Workplace Campaign which unfortunately could not be replicated in 2015 because of employee layoffs. In addition, a declining number of United Way donors, primarily those who have either relocated or passed away, have

not been offset by new donors resulting in an overall shortfall. It is important to understand that our United Way does not receive funding from any level of government but relies solely on community donations for community investments and operations. Please visit our website www.ourunitedway.ca for detailed information on 2015 investments.

Funding applications submitted to United Way for 2016 totalled over $140,000. Historically funds have

were involved in many amazing fund raising activities in 2015 and are to be commended.

However, if you did not make a donation to United Way in 2015, please consider doing so now. Any amount you are able to give is needed and much appreciated.

Donations made up to February 15th will be issued a 2015 donation tax receipt unless otherwise requested.

“For my career I am hoping to get involved behind the scenes of a sporting team or league,” said Webb.

“The development of Major League Soccer is something that has been fascinating to watch and would be incredible to be involved in.”

The scholarship, which was launched in 2008, saw 37 annual $5,000 scholarships handed out to high school students who have been accepted to the university’s Gustavson School of Business program for next year, one from each of the school districts across B.C. in which Black Press operates, including School District 5.

More than 175 scholarships have been awarded since 2008.

To read the article in its entirety, visit www. kootenayadvertiser.com Submitted by Daryl Calder on behalf of Rocky Mountain Naturalists Six intrepid naturalists knew that birding would be quite good in Kimberley. January 2, 2016, a chilly, calm, grey day was uncomfortable for humans but did not deter the birds.

To generate body heat, birds need to be constantly searching for food during daylight hours in order to survive the long winter night. With the help of 4 feeder watchers, a relatively large number of birds were counted for the benefit of the 116th annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count.

Birders investigated grasslands, forests, riv-

ers and streams, wild, rural and urban areas.

The species list was longer than average, including 19 types which have been observed on virtually all of the 24 Kimberley counts. Chestnutbacked Chickadee, Pacific Wren and Varied Thrush have only been spotted a couple of times. Even though the Cranbrook and Kimberley count areas are not far apart, eleven species detected in Kimberley this year were not found in Cranbrook and vice-versa.

Adding eleven to each count indicates that about 60 types of bird can survive the winter in this part of the East Kootenay. The ‘eleven’ are an assortment of waterfowl, raptors, thrushes and winter finches which are not particularly uncommon in either area.

One little non-migratory bird was seen on

both counts. The very attractive Chestnutbacked Chickadee will move up to higher elevations in late summer, moving back to lowland forests following heavy snowstorms.

They prefer dense, wet, coniferous forests along the Pacific coast between Southern California and Alaska, and a zone which reaches into our part of the Rocky Mountains.

They occur in a wide variety of forest types, including deciduous woodlands and brushy streamsides. In urban, suburban and rural areas, where extensive trees and shrubs are present, they are commonly seen at backyard feeders. Active, sociable and noisy as any chickadee, you’ll find these birds at the heart of foraging flocks moving through tall conifers, with titmice, nuthatches, and sometimes other chickadee

species.

Chestnut-backed Chickadees are common across their range, but populations have been gradually declining since 1966. At 1% per year, the result is a cumulative decline of about 42% according to the North American Breeding Bird Survey.

Forest management practices which remove potential nest sites, can make it difficult for these little birds.

Another handsome denizen of the dark, wet, mature forests of the Pacific Northwest has been observed lately. In winter, the Varied Thrush may be found in parks, gardens, lakeshores, and riparian areas where fruit and berries are abundant. In fact, this shy bird has apparently discovered the benefits of feeders around Cranbrook and Kimberley. These thrushes forage for insects in summer and

Mrs. P.A. Woodward donated to many charitable organizations.

There is no complete record of these contributions, but generally the gifts supported education, health and various religious bodies.

In 1951, P.A. established the Woodward Foundation to formalize these activities. On November 8th 1951, he chaired the Foundation’s first board of directors meeting at the offices of Woodward’s Department Stores at 101 West Hastings Street in Vancouver, British Columbia. In 1953, the Foundation’s name was changed to the Mr. and Mrs. P.A. Woodward’s Foundation.

The Mr. & Mrs. P. A. Woodward’s Foundation does not solicit or receive funds from any sources. The assets of the Foundation represent lifetime gifts to the Foundation from the late Mr. and Mrs. Woodward, together with the residue from their estates following the death of Mr. Woodward in 1968 and Mrs. Woodward in 1970.

Since then the portfolio continues to grow under the management of the Foundation’s Executive Committee.

Midwest and Northeast, far out of their normal range.

According to the North American Breeding Bird Survey, Varied Thrushes are fairly common but their populations have declined by 62% since 1966. The 2014 ‘State of the Birds

Report’ listed them as a common bird in steep decline. Logging and forest fragmentation can cause habitat loss; they tend not to live in forest patches smaller than about see Bird Count page 19

CONSULTATION FOR A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN

Pest Management Plan Number RDEK – PMP - 2016/2021

Come to School With Us Viens a l’ecole avec nous For KINDERGARTEN AND FRENCH IMMERSION September 2016 Entry KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION School District 5 Southeast Kootenay welcomes all children born between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011, and encourages parents to register their children at their catchment area school for September 2016 Kindergarten entry.

School District 5 Southeast Kootenay provides a warm, caring learning environment for all students. We offer our Kindergarten students a developmentally appropriate program along with access to computer technology, a Fine Arts program, student services support and, if parents choose, French Immersion. French Immersion Kindergarten is available at T.M. Roberts Elementary School.

To ensure your child is able to attend your catchment area school, please register early.

In any given year, registration and enrolment application forms shall only be accepted by the catchment area school commencing on the first school day in February. If you are unsure which school is your catchment area school, please visit the “school locator” on our district website at http://www.sd5.bc.ca/Schools/ Pages/default.aspx

The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) is renewing a Pest Management Plan and will submit the plan for approval under the Integrated Pest Management Act. This Plan will describe a Mosquito Control Program using Integrated Pest Management, including the use of insecticides, and will replace the need for Pesticide Use Permits.

Purpose: Mosquito Control for the purpose of nuisance control.

Application Method: Treatment of mosquito larva development sites by hand and helicopter application.

Location: Within the RDEK’s existing Mosquito Extended Service Area which includes the Wasa, TaTa Creek, and Skookumchuk areas north of Fort Steele along the Kootenay River.

Pesticide: Yearly totals up to, but not exceeding: • 1000 ha with Aquabac (PCP No. 26863) (Bacillus thuringiensis var israeliensis) • 1000 ha with Vectobac 200 G (PCP No. 19466) (Bacillus thuringiensis var israeliensis) A selection of insecticides has been chosen to increase the ability to target mosquito populations in the most environmentally responsible method possible.

All products listed are registered in Canada for the intended use. Aquabac and Vectobac have been chosen to control larval mosquitoes in their development sites. This pesticide is target specific, non-residual, and non-toxic.

All such applications will be dealt with on a first-come, first serve basis. A birth certificate or other legally acceptable document, along with proof of B.C. residency (i.e. mortgage statement, rental agreement, utility bill) must be provided at the time of registration. The child will not be registered until such documentation is made available.

The RDEK will not treat the total area of all the products listed above, but will choose the best method to treat with the least environmental impact. All products are registered for mosquito control in Canada.

Parents who wish their child to attend a school outside their catchment area still need to register their child at their catchment area school. To request a transfer, pick up a “Family Request for Student Placement Form” from your catchment area school and return to the School Board Office. These completed forms shall only be accepted by Board Office staff commencing on the first school day in February. Forms can also be submitted via email to studenttransfers@sd5.bc.ca.

Please refer to Policy 3.1R at http://www.sd5.bc.ca/Board/Policy/manual/Pages/ default.aspx for more information.

Your Community Connections Society

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Knowing that there are places to go for help and support is a comforting thing for families in the East Kootenay region.

Community Connections Society of Southeast BC (CCS) was incorporated on October 12, 1982. It is registered as a not-forprofit society under the BC Society Act, and has charitable status under Revenue Canada.

CCS manages two “hub”, models of colocated services and programs that serve families and individuals. These hubs address some very real rural challenges, such as clients experiencing the confusion and inconvenience of fragmented services, and having to travel out of the region to see specialists; and staff members feeling disconnected from each other and lim-

ited in their ability to refer clients effectively to services of benefit. CCS’ primary hubs are: Cranbrook Family Connections (CFC) (located at 209A – 16th North) is a hub of services created in 2007 currently operating with the following agencies/programs co-locating into one location: Bellies to Babies Pregnancy Outreach, ANKORS, Options for Sexual Health, Community Action Program for Children, a variety of Early Childhood Development programs that support young children and families, Cranbrook Women’s Resource Centre, Travelling Poverty Advocate Program, Homeless

Outreach and Homeless Prevention Program, Better at Home Senior Program, and West Kootenay Brain Injury Association.

Other community partners have joined us as well: IHA Health Outreach Nurse, a Social Worker employed with the East Kootenay Division of Family Practice and Public Health (on a visiting basis.)

For individuals and families, CFC has become a successful central community access point for support and education, early childhood development, youth development, and health promotion and awareness. It is also an important centre of sup-

port for youth who access this building for support including sexual health information.

Kootenay Child Development Centre (KCDC) located at 16 – 12th Avenue North, opened, with significant community celebration, in April 2012, after 3 years of focused fund-raising, planning and construction.

A 14,000 square foot colocation of child health and development services, the KCDC is in an easily accessible downtown location. Services benefit families through increased coordination, efficient referrals and availability of tele-health for followup appointments with specialists located out of region. As well, service providers benefit from easier and more efficient case conferencing and referrals and will also benefit from access to training.

Services include 3 pediatricians, East Kootenay Supported Child Development Program, Child Care Resource and Referral Program, Kids Connection Preschool, East Kootenay Infant Development Program, East Kootenay Behavioural Intervention Program, East Kootenay Friends of Children, and an extensive toy and resource lending library and craft store. Visiting office space is available and as well the centre also hosts the Interior Health Children’s Assessment Network clinics several times a year.

Family exercise sessions: a fun-filled priority

It’s not always easy to find the time and motivation to keep fit between work, homework, shopping, meals and housework. The solution? Make exercise a health priority for the whole family.

What’s important is to stay active. Get all the members of your family moving by choosing activities that are simple and easy to integrate into the daily routine. Start slowly; a short family walk after supper is a great way to form new habits. Break the monotony by changing your route on a re­gular basis.

Finish your outing with a few fun challenges, such as walking backwards or hopping.

Everyone is sure to enjoy an improvised dance session in the living room. Swaying and jumping to your children’s favourite music is the

kind of cardiovascular exercise that burns calories. Get yourself an exercise ball or some elastic exercise bands; they’re inexpensive and can be used even when watching TV. Every week, ask family members to organize a session of their favourite physical activity. There’s just one rule: every­ one has to participate. You can go cycling, do yoga, go swimming, play beach volleyball, take a walk in the woods or jump rope — anything is possible.

Set yourself realistic family goals. An hour of exercise a day may be too demanding, while 20 or 30 minutes could be enough to stimulate enthusiasm. You don’t want to discourage the troops.

After all, family exercise is healthy, but it has to be fun as well.

When dad says yes and mom says no, confusion is the end result

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Coming to a consensus as parents before answering your child’s request reinforces unity.

We can’t all agree about everything, no matter how

much we love one another.

Child rearing is often one

of the main areas of contention between parents. A small

disagreement isn’t dramatic, and in fact for a child, it’s

healthy to realize that people can have different opinions, explain them cal­ mly and reach a compromise. But what happens when your parenting disagreements are never-ending?

Parents tend to approach child rearing ac­ cording to their own sets of values, which are usually influenced by what they experienced as children. A father who was given an allowance will tend to do the same with his teenager. The mom who was never gi­ven any pocket money may strongly disa­ gree with this approach.

Children faced with perpetual conflict bet­ween their parents may try to take ad­van­ tage of it. If they know that Dad is more flexible about curfews, they’re sure to try

and negotiate with him rather than with Mom. However, even if they get what they want, they may feel guilty for taking ad­vantage of the situation.

Disagreements can poison family life to the point where children end up be­ lieving that everything is their fault.

Parents have to try and reach agreement without arguing in front of their children.

They must admit to the fact that their partner has the right to think differently. When pa­rents focus on a common goal, such as the happiness and well-being of their offspring, they find it easier to remember that the other parent loves the children just as much as they do.

Family Law Matters Keep teens reading by providing them with books, magazines and Internet sites about things that interest them – like music, movies, TV and computers.

Act as a reading role model for your children by reading in your spare time.

Remember, children learn by example.

Surviving the teen years need not be as overwhelming as it looks

PHOTO SUBMITTED

An open dialogue may be tough to have with your teen, but just striving to keep that door open may be enough.

Do you feel that your relationship with your teenager only involves fights, disagreements and mood swings? Has the sweet little baby you held in your arms just a few years ago turned into a monster? Don’t worry; the path your child is taking towards adulthood is actually normal.

Adolescence is punctuated by extreme hormonal changes, which cause physical as well as psychological and social transformations.

If you find this stage to be a difficult one, don’t forget that for your teenager, it’s an overwhelming and exhausting time in their lives. But while teenagers are search-

ing to figure out who they are and trying to redefine their identities, parents may also feel overwhelmed by events. It’s not easy to stay calm when you’re rebuffed morning, noon and night.

Here are a few survival tips to help you through these tough times.

• Encourage dialogue.

Whether you agree or disagree with what your teenagers say, listen to them with love and respect.

• Set firm limits that must be honoured. Explain the reasons behind them, and be consistent. Your teens need supervision.

• Don’t dramatize small conflicts. Give your teens space to have their feelings.

• Trust them, but don’t hesitate to express your concern if necessary.

• Talk to other parents about what you’re experiencing in order to get some

reassurance.

Some issues, if they come up, require a bit of advice and support from a third party: violence, eating

disorders, extreme isolation or drug and alcohol abuse.

But if that isn’t the case for you right now, just take a deep breath and look to the

future with optimism. After all, you pro­bably made your parents feel exactly the same way.

Don’t Forget Your Family Pet Meadowbrook Community Association Family Day Celebration The Meadowbrook Community Association invites members, residents and recreational users of the Meadowbrook and Woods Corner areas to celebrate on Family Day Monday February 8, 2016 from 11:00am until 3:00pm at McGinty Lake.

East Kootenay Regional Science Fair is nearly upon us

It’s time for sharp young minds in the region to do some research, partner with their friends and participate in one of the most mind-expanding exercises around—the East Kootenay Regional Science Fair.

The fair takes place at the College of the Rockies on March 4 and 5, which doesn’t leave a

whole lot of time for participants to create and display their experiments. The competitive fair for students in grades 6 through 12 will take place on March 4, with the non-competitive fair for kindergarten through grade 5 will take place on March 5.

The Kootenay Advertiser’s First and best reader’s forum Email to: shannon@kootenayadvertiser.com

Slugs: Enough is enough Cranbrook City Council. Do the right thing and announce the city will not conduct future ineffective deer culls.

Slugs: To the city councillors who promised transparency at city hall then conduct a secret deer cull with my tax dollars. About as much transparency as the brick wall dividing the pro and anti cull supporters.

Slugs: To the entire City Council of Cranbrook who announced that they went ahead and cowardly and covertly “culled” between 10-18 deer during the last few weeks. This killing was probably done during the holiday season in spite of their promises last fall, to look. explore and implement the relocation option. They now are advertising for 2 outside people to sit on the deer advisory committee. Too late and too guilty. I hope that the entire city council get punted next election.

Hugs: A HUGE thank you to my amazing neighbors in the 8th and 9th Street South area next to Gyro Park for coming together to Snow-Plow and SnowBlow both the alleyway and front road. It is greatly appreciated!!!

Hugs: Prodigious hugs to Denis Coderre, Mayor of Montréal, and surrounding mayors for standing up against Trans-Canada’s eastbound pipeline, Projet Énergie Est. Oil is the

fuel of the past, and it is high time we move to the future, and God bless you, Monsieur le maire!

Hugs: Big hugs to my Snow Angels on Summit Drive. Great neighbor who keeps my driveway cleared of snow all winter. Much appreciated - thank you so much!!!

Hugs: Today I saw Mr. Ray White snow plowing part of Victoria. It is nice to see there are still amazing people out there doing above and beyond when the weather is awful. Thank you Ray White.

Slugs: To the city of Cranbrook for not reading their own newspaper ads regarding the obligation of keeping the sidewalks clear of snow. Did they get an exemption this year?

Hugs: To the kind fellow who towed me out of a snow bank on Wed. the 20th in his much snowed-in cul-desac. Your kind helping hand was much appreciated.

Hugs: A big thank you to a couple of fine gentlemen who dug my car out when I high centered it on Jan. 20.

rants and grocery store who have public toilets that flush with one push of the lever. Slugs to the rest. I do not like standing there and holding the lever down to wait for it to flush.

Slugs: To the women who use the public toilets and cannot take the time to flush. How rude.

Hugs: Giant heart felt HUGS to Reverend Ron Short, Margo and his prayer team for blessing our home and us. Your instant response to my request was so kind, generous and genuine that it touched us at the deepest level and left us feeling grateful and hopeful in a hard situation. God Bless all of you in return.

Hugs: Big warm hugs to Nadine C. You are a sweetheart of a person and I hope all the kindness you hand out so generously comes back to you at least double. We are glad to have you in our lives.

Hugs: Thank you to Mulisha engine repair for coming right out and fixing my snowblower while still on the truck. Great service!

Hugs: Big hugs and happy travel wishes to our excellent neighbors, Hugs: To my great Al and Sue, that helped neighbors on 14th and load my snowblower 15th Ave for clearing my onto my truck. You two sidewalks many times. are the best neighbors Also to the gentleman anyone could ask for, who turned in my drive- always there to lend a way with his big front hand and a shoulder end loader and cleared when needed. You are away all the heavy snow. appreciated more than you can know.

Hugs: To the restau-

Here’s how it works!

Hugs: Huge hugs to the gentleman in the blue truck who helped the two gals when we were stuck on the entrance to the Butte trail off of Porteous Road. Your kindness, friendliness and refreshing smile was much appreciated.

Thanks so much!!

Slugs: A slug to Cranbrook City Hall for conducting yet another ineffective deer cull wasting taxpayer dollars. If culls work then why are there more deer in the city (according to their own survey) than when culls were initiated 4 years ago?

Slugs: Massive slugs to the secretive approval of a deer cull in Cranbrook which only reinforces the moniker of “Dinktown” bestowed upon our fair city by the rest of the towns in the Kootenay’s.

Hugs: I have been blessed with very kind and caring neighbors on the 400 block of 20th Ave. S. (you know who you are). You have removed the snow for me all winter and I will always be grateful to you!

Big hugs to you all!
