Community

Community projects improve access to healthy local food KOOTENAY — Interior Health, through the Community Food Action Initiative (CFAI), has recently provided a total of $60,000 to help build food security in four communities: City of Revelstoke, Regional District of Central Kootenay, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, and Township of Oliver. The initiative is part of a province-wide strategy to increase food security programs and encourage British Columbians to make healthy food choices.

“Food security exists when all people, at all times, have access to food that is nutritious and safe in order to maintain an active and healthy life - achieving food security is a community effort, said Rose Soneff, public health dietitian with Interior Health. “Local governments, businesses, farmers, organizations and citizens all have an important role to play and the CFAI program supports them to do that.”

The CFAI provides grants of $15,000 annually to each community over the next three years to increase the community’s ability to contribute to the growth and development

of their local food system.

The funding will help recipients develop and implement community-wide food security plans. The projects will address various aspects along the food system such as growing, distributing, accessing, marketing, celebrating and preparing food, as well as managing food waste.

“We are pleased to partner with Interior Health to implement a plan that will ensure residents have access to locally grown food that can result in a healthier life,” said Diane Vaykovich, corporate officer with the Town of Oliver. “Our council is very aware of the significant value of agriculture in our community and we want to be a leader in British Columbia by developing a food security plan for our residents.”

Recent attention on higher food costs has increased interest in food security in many communities.

“Working with local governments helps ensure food security is considered as part of community planning for now and the future; whether that is within an official community

plan, a sustainability plan, land use policies, zoning and bylaw, or in economic development and municipal policies,” adds Soneff.

CFAI is a collaborative effort between local communities, Interior Health’s public health dietitians, and the Ministry of Health.

Trail’s incrEDIBLE farmers market coming to downtown next weekend SHERI REGNIER West Kootenay Advertiser

Yes, it’s incredible and edible — Trail’s first farmers market is coming to the downtown core next weekend.

Going farm to table is a win-win for everyone from growers to families and local businesses, says Gina Ironmonger, promoter for incrEDIBLE trail and now, Trail’s incrEDIBLE Farmers Market.

“What’s really important is that we are is a real farmers market, make it, bake it, grow it, or raise it,” Ironmonger said. “We are not in competition with existing businesses, the businesses can be part of it. And we are supporting the local food movement.”

The venue is an extension of incrEDIBLE trail’s first foray which has city merchants and services growing edible landscapes in their storefronts, not flowers.

“The farmers market is really another springboard of community gathering and experience,” Ironmonger shared. “It’s really a social event, an opportunity to talk not only with our farmers but all the businesses and service organizations on the green route who already grow food for passersby and the food bank.”

Trail council greenlighted the initiative in late April, and the group has since secured its preferred location right in the heart of the city.

The 1300 block of Cedar Avenue will be closed to traffic including public transit from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. on the 11 planned Saturday markets, beginning May 14.

Aside from joining the BC Association of Farmers Market, planning the event, then asking the city for permission to close a major downtown street, incrEDIBLE volunteers had another hurdle to clear for the market to become reality.

Ironmonger often hears that nobody is downtown on Saturday, especially in the summer.

“Sometimes you have to have a reason to come downtown,” she cheerfully replies. “When you take a look at our whole area, communities together, you have a population of about 20,000,” the volunteer added.

“And all those people aren’t at the lake.”

Now that particulars are in place, incrEDIBLE trail is putting out a call to locals who sell all things fresh.

“We are looking for a variety of vendors with a variety of products — including locally grown or processed fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, baked goods and specialty foods,” Ironmonger said, also listing herbs, flowers, wines, brews, bath and beauty products and more. “We invite you to apply to become a vendor at this fun and exciting new market to grow your business,” she added. “If you are not a vendor, we invite you to come on down and shop for a wide selection of unique products, unparalleled freshness, fun atmosphere and the personal service found at our farmers market.”

Promoting good nutrition through locally grown food is only one bonus, she continued.

The farmers market can become an economic driver by

increasing foot traffic to all downtown businesses, some of which are struggling to stay afloat.

“It’s really important to note the farmers market is make it, bake it, grow it or raise it,” Ironmonger explained. “So they are not in competition with the existing businesses, rather the businesses can be part of it.

“And they are really excited and working on an already great relationship between the vendors and business community.”

Those who make it, bake it, grow it and raise it, are also very keen on becoming part of Trail’s first farmers market.

“When we did our research, we found many vendors also work and cannot do the weekday markets,” she said. “So they are also very excited to have a Saturday to come to the market and provide their products. Basically, by supporting the buy local movement, your dollars stay in the area while you invest in your family’s health through locally grown food.”

The incrEDIBLE Farmers Market is the latest Trail project added to the volunteer group’s ongoing list of community ventures.

Now in its third year, the green route’s edible landscapes are sprouting up well beyond downtown Trail. Greater Trail supporters raised funds for the incrEDIBLE Gulch Community Food Bank Garden that now in its second year, will add another four planters this summer.

At the pinnacle of all growing Trail initiatives, however, is a behemoth - climate change.

“Our area is projected to have 30 more frost free days by 2050,” says Ironmonger. “That means our area will become more important to the food basket especially as more demand is placed on province’s three main growing areas. So yes, the underlying initiative of all of this, is sustainable local agriculture.”

News City buys property to expand Riverfront Centre development TRAIL — Another downtown Trail property is slated for demo, clearing way for a larger library/ museum footprint.

The city purchased the former Trail Trophies & Engraving site for $190,000 and plans for a mid-July tear down with the lot providing additional space in the development of the Trail Riverfront Centre.

“Council is looking at this as a 50-year decision when we make this kind of commitment,” says Coun.

Robert Cacchioni, the building committee’s chair.

“We’ll only get the chance to do this once so we better do it right.”

As planning the new facility’s size and layout progressed, Cacchioni says it became evident the existing structure at 1537 Bay Avenue would be greatly impacted by the proposed construction design.

“Rather than spending a considerable amount of money to modify the structural integrity and reinstate the power and gas lines to the privately-owned structure on 1537 Bay Avenue,” he explained. “We realized

it would be cost effective to purchase the property and proceed with the demolition of the structure.”

The extra space allows the new facility to be shifted slightly to the south, creating an outdoor plaza opportunity for the north side and enhancing the overall appeal of the building.

“The integration between the building and the use of outdoor space is considered to be an important aspect of the facility,” Cacchioni added. “This concept also complements the revitalization recommendations outlined in the Downtown Plan; and, the additional space provides much greater opportunity to maximize the potential of the site as council continues to focus on the redevelopment of the Esplanade lands.”

Design work continues and a schematic is now complete. The current timeline includes tendering the project in July and a grand opening in October 2017. The current design has changed considerably from the original concept, so the city plans to release the drawings to the public during Silver City Days.

Ootischenia among surviving Doukhobor place names GREG NESTEROFF West Kootenay Advertiser

One hundred forty-second in an alphabetical series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names The Castlegar suburb of Ootischenia has one of two Doukhobor place names that remain widely used in West Kootenay (Krestova is the other).

The original form of the name, reportedly chosen by Peter (Lordly) Verigin was Dolina Uteshenaya, meaning “Valley of Consolation.” It was adopted soon after the Doukhobor migration to BC. “Having forfeited their lands in Saskatchewan, this spacious and beautiful valley was to become their new place of refuge,” Jon Kalmakoff writes in his online Doukhobor Gazetteer. “The valley, however, proved to be arid and unsuitable for agriculture without extensive irrigation, leading some to refer to it as Dolina Opustosheniye or the ‘valley of desolation.’”

The earliest known reference is in a letter in Russian held by Simon Fraser University, dated Jan. 15, 1909, which reads: “A letter from Dolina Uteshenaya from Peter Verigin to all the brothers and sisters of Christian Community. This is to inform you, brothers and sisters, that we have safely arrived in Dolina Uteshenaya …”

The earliest English transliteration yet discovered is in the Nelson Daily News of April 22, 1924: “Almost at the same time the two school houses in the Ootshenia colony became flaming masses.”

Another spelling appeared in the same newspaper on Sept. 10, 1925: “Miss Mary Larsen is the teacher for the school actually at Brilliant and Miss A.B. Mackenzie the one at Ootchenia.”

Yet another variation appeared on Nov. 10 of the latter year: “These schools include five buildings, one each at Brilliant, Atischenia …”

In March 1932, newspapers reported on an explosion “in the Doukhobor settlement at Oteshenie.”

Other transliterations have included Ootisheniye and Ootischeniya. The BC Geographical Names office adopted Ootishenia on Dec. 6, 1951 but changed it to Ootischenia on March 5, 1959. That’s the spelling used today by the road, fire department, and landfill.

In the May 30, 1990 edition of Iskra, historian Bill Rozinkin suggested Ooteshenia as a more accurate transliteration.

“Today, instead of the original Ooteshenia, we have directories, telephone books, post office addresses and highway signs calling it Ootischenia,” he wrote.

“This is not correct. The name of the district or plateau is Ooteshenia, a Russian word meaning a place of consolation or solacement. The newly created word or name, Ootischenia, has no meaning, neither is it a word in the Russian or English vocabulary.

A gravemarker with a Russian epitaph is seen in the Ootischenia cemetery.

Greg Nesteroff collection “The change in the name of Ooteshenia to Ootischenia first appeared in the late 1950s and early 1960s during Freedomite terrorist attacks on Ooteshenia Doukhobor community settlements. These attacks attracted many news reporters from across Canada and the US. In their stories, some reporters spelt Ooteshenia correctly while others incorrectly called it Ootechenia and Ootischenia. Why the latter replaced the originally officially is hard to understand.”

While Rozinkin seemed to be correct about the source of the English spelling, he was off on the date. Ootischenia appeared as early as the Nelson Daily News of April 5, 1937: “Three guards were placed at other district schools — Crescent Valley, Tarrys, and Ootischenia, the last the scene of the lone bombing Sunday …” Additional examples of that spelling exist from 1939.

Ootischenia is also a 2006 song by The Be Good Tanyas — singer Frazey Ford grew up there. (Despite the title, the name doesn’t actually appear in the lyrics.)

New ED for West Kootenay EcoSociety NELSON — West Kootenay EcoSociety has hired a new executive director, Montana Burgess, who starts on May 10. Burgess is the first female executive director hired and brings a decade of organizing and organizational development to the West Kootenay EcoSociety.

“I’m looking forward to working with our community to achieve a future with clean air, water, and land, while supporting healthy food, green jobs, and thriving wild places,“ said Burgess.

Burgess’ passion for her work came from growing up in a low-income family that ran a community coffee shop and roasting business in Kamloops, BC. “I didn’t have the opportunities other kids had because of our financial situation. I knew

what fairness and equity meant at a very young age. I’m very motivated by social justice. I also know the value of vibrant community because of my parents’ commitment to support organic, fair-trade and local foods, and to support local artists and activists at our coffee shop.”

Burgess hopes to build on the work of out-going executive director, David Reid, to refine the programs and advocacy of the West Kootenay EcoSociety and build additional capacity, working with the staff, board of directors, and members.

“My vision for the West Kootenay EcoSociety is to lead on advocacy for the Kootenay region using community organizing, strategic communications, and a dedication to community relationships with leaders and our grassroots

to deliver successful community projects and programs. The EcoSociety has proven our ability to organize around key environmental issues and take on important challenges,” said Burgess.

“I’m very excited that we’ve hired Montana as our new executive director. Montana has been our community organizer for the past year, and I am excited to see her lead our great community work on conservation, climate and food issues in the West Kootenay,” said outgoing executive director, David Reid.

West Kootenay EcoSociety’s AGM takes place on May 12 at 6 p.m. at Expressions Café in Nelson. The community is invited to the meeting to sign-up as members and meet the newexecutive director.

Selkirk College’s professional cook program a recipe for employment NELSON — Not many schools can promise a student will have a job at the end of their studies. This year, Selkirk College’s cooking program is offering its grads their choice of them.

“Right now we have 16 students and more than 40 jobs to fill,” says Simon Parr, instructional assistant for professional cook (level one) at the Tenth Street Campus in Nelson.

Parr says students in the recently finished term are being courted with “three or four” job offers each, with many employers recruiting on site during the school year.

“It’s great, students can pick their own jobs, decide the path they want to take, what experience they want,” he says.

It’s heady stuff to have opportunity like that for your students.

Parr, who has taught at Selkirk College for 10 years, has seen this cycle before.

The right place and the right time Parr says one of the reasons for the job demand in the hospitality industry is the low Canadian dollar, which is both bringing foreign tourists to British Columbia and keeping Canadian travellers at home. The resulting boom in the industry has resorts and restaurants struggling to attract skilled staff.

Industry officials agree it’s a great time to be looking for work in tourism.

“As economies shift up and down, tourism often benefits in both ways,” says Dennis Green, the director of industry workforce developmentfor go2HR, an organization that helps develop the hospitality industry in BC. “When there is an increase in economic activity, there is an increase in business travel. And in regions where there is a major change, such as a slowdown in natural resources, often communities look to tourism as a way to diversify the economy.”

Because of this, Green says there are always lots of jobs in the sector, part-time or seasonal, as well as full-time jobs that can lead to long careers.

“We are a growth industry, there are guaranteed jobs. There are not many areas like that now,” adds Parr. “It’s a win-win for us. There are huge numbers of people coming back to BC, to our region, looking for work and considering cooking school for retraining. Then when they get here, we get strong demand from

employers for cooks. So it’s a bit of a perfect storm for cooking.”

Students in Selkirk College’s cooking program enroll in the BC apprentice cook program and may take the Cook 1 (28 weeks) and Cook 2 (14 weeks) qualifications leading toward the Interprovincial ‘Red Seal’ cook certification (that course is offered when demand warrants). Unlike many programs, Selkirk College offers students at all levels practical experience, either working in a cafeteria or preparing gourmet meals in the college’s training dining room or at gala events. They learn by working in real-world conditions, under pressure and feeding real customers.

“This course is good for anyone who wants to be a chef,” says Daphne Bingley, who just completed her first year in the program.

“In September we had students who did not know how to boil pasta.

This course treats everyone as if they want to become a chef, but if you don’t put in the work you won’t take it out.”

Bingley’s already landed a plum summer job, working in one of BC’s most prestigious restaurant s. But she’s being picky about her long-term goals.

“I’m not promising anyone my time, I want to travel around and learn about the culinary industry,” she says. “When I can learn enough to be a decent chef or sous-chef I will return to one of the places I enjoyed and try to make a life there.”

Demand is high for trained cooks The Selkirk College Professional Cook Training Program has seen several recruiters come through the kitchens at the Tenth Street Campus and some, like Bingley, have been hired on the spot.

“We don’t have to go shopping for jobs for our students, employers are coming to us,” says Bob Falle, who’s overseen the cooking program for 20 years. “We find employers that come to us are quite serious about working with our students and understanding what their goals are.”

George Salivaras is one of those employers. A graduate of Selkirk College’s cooking program himself (in 2002), he has made the trek from his restaurant in Castlegar, The Wandering Greek Oven, to meet with the second-year students.

“It’s fun for me to talk to the students, I find it enjoyable to share the joy I have cooking,” he says.

Salivaras has hired four students from Selkirk College, two this year.

“It’s good for me to have staff who know how to do things, that know the basics,” he says. “I don’t have to explain everything.”

Completing training opens up doors The local restaurant trade is only the start of opportunities, notes Falle.

“Regionally we are fortunate for having high-end seasonal work opportunities for trained cooks,” he says. “There are winter heli- or sno-cat skiing, golf resorts, luxury hotels, it goes on. There is an endless demand for cooks in this province.”

And these students aren’t being prepared for low-wage, dead-end jobs either. Back at the college kitchen where he’s overseeing the lunch prep, Simon Parr says a talented young chef with ambition can find themselves anywhere in the world.

“It’s exciting, you can travel around, work on cruise ships, or five-star resorts anywhere in the world,” he says. “Those that work hard, in a couple of years can be a sous-chef or in an executive chef position. And that’s when the salaries really kick in. A pastry chef can make $85,000 a year.”

But it’s not just money that’s important. Parr says the real reward is doing what you want in life.

“I love it, I’ve been doing it 20 years,” says Parr. “I used to be an oil field worker, I made killer money, but I was bored out of my mind.

I decided to follow my passion and I’ve never turned back from it.”

Selkirk College pioneer educator receives recognition

CASTLEGAR — Life changed for Craig Andrews when he landed a job teaching History at Selkirk College in 1968.

And for the 31 years that

followed, the innovative and energetic educator made an impact that helped change the lives of all the people he touched.

At the Selkirk College

Graduation 2016 Ceremony on April 22, Andrews was honoured for his tireless work with students, colleagues and communities across

the region when he received the Distinguished Educator award.

“The opportunity I got to be at Selkirk College was the biggest moment of my career because everything flowed from there,” Andrews says.

“I’m a hugely lucky man to have had an opportunity to work at such a place.”

And Selkirk College was hugely lucky to have Andrews’ passion for post-secondary education over a diverse threedecade career.

“Craig welcomed and respected students, recognized their challenges and achievements, engaged and empowered them, and appreciated their contributions to the college,” wrote nominators Denise Chernoff, Carol Andrews and John Armstrong. “An educator of educators, Craig always empowered others, creating opportunities for his teams to learn and in doing so, laid the foundations for the future.”

At the Graduation 2016 Ceremony on April 22 at the Castlegar Campus, Craig Andrews was given the honour of Distinguished Educator. Andrews (middle right) is pictured here with Selkirk College President Angus Graeme (left), Selkirk College Board of Governors Vice Chair Danica Lee (middle left) and Selkirk College Vice President of Education & Students Neil Coburn (right).

Selkirk College photo today’s Selkirk College is massive, former Selkirk College President Leo Perra says it’s Andrews’ passion that stands out the most.

“Craig always had a gleam in his eye and he always brought enthusiasm and energy to his responsibilities,” says Perra, who was president at Selkirk College for 20 years between 1980 and 2000. “He is a caring individual and he took an interest in his staff, students and colleagues.

He took on new activities willingly and carried

them out with diligence and passion.”

Always one to shy away from the spotlight, Andrews never imagined he would end up on the stage at graduation as a Distinguished Educator.

“I never thought for a minute that I would ever get nominated, you just go along and do your job,” says Andrews. “I’m really honoured and tremendously proud to be amongst a group of people who have been nominated who I think are some of the greatest people that Selkirk

College had.”

Andrews impacted countless lives of learners, educators and community members over his 31 year career at Selkirk College. During that time, Andrews says there was never a day where he didn’t look forward to sharing his passion for learning with others.

“I never looked that far down the road, I just take life as it comes,” he says about his legacy. “I didn’t have a strategic plan for myself, I simply loved what I was doing.”

Caroline Adderson offers critique sessions at Elephant Mountain Literary Festival NELSON — Every writer benefits from feedback, especially when it comes from someone accomplished in the craft.

This year, 10 writers will receive one-on-one critiques with Elephant Mountain Literary Festival’s 2016 writerin-residence Caroline Adderson. The Holley Rubinsky Memorial Blue Pencil Sessions run July 7 and 8 at the Nelson Public Library.

Writer and teacher Holley Rubinsky passed away in 2015. An awardwinning author, Holley was a mover and shaker

in her beloved community of Kaslo where she mentored, encouraged and cajoled the very best from the writers who sought her guidance.

Her generous bequest allows Elephant Mountain Literary Festival to offer these “blue pencil” sessions with a senior writer for a nominal fee.

Caroline Adderson is the author of four novels and two story collections, including A History of Forgetting, Sitting Practice, and Ellen in Pieces, as well as a number of novels for young readers. She wrote the

screenplay for the film Tokyo Cowboy, which stars Nelson’s Cultural Ambassador Hiromoto Ida. Caroline’s work has received numerous national and international prize nominations. A two-time Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize and threetime CBC Literary Award winner, Caroline was also the recipient of the 2006 Marian Engel Award for mid-career achievement.

As an advisor, Caroline critiques fiction, creative nonfiction, writing for children, and screenwriting. In addition to

Caroline Adderson. the Blue Pencil Sessions there will be a free public

talk on the writing craft on Wednesday, July 6

at 8 p.m. at the Nelson Library.

“My connection to Holley goes back to the start of my writing career when she was on faculty at the Banff Centre and I was a participant,” says Caroline. “An original in voice and spirit, she was devoted to nurturing new talent. It’s an honour to be asked to lead the first Holley Rubinsky Memorial Blue Pencil Sessions.”

Registration opens May 16, and places will be awarded on a first come, first served basis.

Registered writers are

asked to submit a project description and up to 2,500 words in advance, which is followed up with a 40-minute one-on-one discussion.

The 5th annual Elephant Mountain Literary Festival runs July 7 – 10 in Nelson.

This year’s featured presenters include Caroline Adderson, J.B. McKinnon, Bill Richardson, Briony Penn, Richard Cannings, Grant Lawrence, and Jill Barber.

Practicing Selkirk College School of Environment what we preach & Geomatics students share research — parents and CASTLEGAR — Earlier this month, Selkirk College Castlegar Campus was abuzz with students from the Recreation Fish & Wildlife, Forestry, Integrated Environmental Planning, and Geographic Information Systems programs carrying posters and cue cards ready to share research with their classmates.

Second and third year students of the School of Environment & Geomatics presented their findings from applied research projects in a day-long student conference.

“It’s a great celebration of what they’ve done over the last nine months,” says School of Environment & Geomatics Chair Brendan Wilson. “Students have worked extremely hard and have answered some really interesting and important questions.”

There were 82 presenters filling classrooms and lecture theatres around the college on April 6 in the 14th year of the student conference. Talks ranged in topics from whether fracking coincided with earthquakes in Northern British Columbia, presented by Chelsea Mathieson to the effectiveness of partial cutting in the Harrop Proctor Community Forest presented by Dylan Tripp and Devin Dake-Outhet.

Francis Morrell presented his site suitability analysis of cities in British Columbia in relation to snow and quality of life and Jeffery Ness spoke on the best solutions for small business when it comes to drones and remote data collection.

Students often chose their topics based on discovery during summer employment, lab work completed during school and personal interest. Then they went out and tackled a broader question. Presentations were as wide-ranging in topic as the students participating.

Integrated Environmental Planning student Avery Deboer-Smith has been working in water conservation with municipalities and regional districts for over a year. She presented findings from researching the water level, snow water equivalent and temperature changes in reservoirs of the Columbia Basin. Her talk was entitled “Blue Gold.”

“I wanted to find a way to get all this really convoluted data into a beautiful map that was really easy to understand for everyone in the community to inspire them to make

changes in their lives to use less water,” she says. “It’s a valuable resource in our area and a lot of people may not realize last summer we had some serious issues with water shortages.”

Deboer-Smith has taken her passion for water conservation beyond the student conference and is helping host Water, Drought & Climate Change Forum in Nelson. At Selkirk College, she enjoyed the day with her fellow students and the experience of presenting.

“It’s about seeing people’s reactions to something like this,” she says. “The students seemed interested in learning more and joining me in being a part of this.”

Wilson says applied research plays a big role in answering community and workplace-based questions and to recognize how this factors into the education and the future careers of students is important.

“It’s an introduction for students, to help them get a sense of what it’s like to present applied research projects in front of a group

of their peers,” he says. “It also gives them a sense of what it’s like to go to a scientific conference. There were a lot of concurrent sessions and a full day of really interesting talks. It’s a similar format to what they would experience out in the workplace or in their further academic careers.”

Selkirk College partner Applied Science Technologist & Technicians of British Columbia came on board for the conference offering up a generous prize to a student with the best presentation from each program.

“This is a great incentive and it highlights the level at which these students are actually providing information,” Wilson says.

The conference wrapped up with a keynote speaker. Dr. Rachel Holt from Nelsonbased Veridian Ecological spoke to about her passion for the land, its biodiversity and her work in helping to create a better, scientific-based way to manage and preserve the critical habitat elements of the Great Bear Rainforest.

By Julie Lewis I was home with my children after school one day.

They were eating a snack and I was thinking about all the little “to-dos” that are part of running a household.

I was texting their father about what to have for dinner when my nine year old came to me with a request “just a minute, darling” I said. Two minutes later I was emailing someone about one of the to-dos when my six year old came to me with a request — “just a minute, honey” I said. I finished the email opened up one of my favourite social networking sites, when I heard a loud “Mom!” It was then I remembered my children’s unmet requests.

The research is pretty clear that when children spend too much time looking at electronic screens (TV, tablets, smart phones, gaming devices etc.) it can interfere with their development. Many parents know this and put limits on the amount of time their children spend looking at screens. But what about the amount of time us parents spend looking at screens — does that affect our kids?

Digital information (emailing, texting and social networking) has become such a part of our daily lives that it is easy to lose track of how often it captures our attention and how much of the “here and now” we are missing. Babies and children live in the here and now. Babies are born ready to learn and they need their parents to input the data (with spoken words, songs, games, ideas, etc.). Children learn through real life and the discussions about real life they have with parents and caregivers.

Talking and interacting with children is an essential part of helping them develop speech and language skills. This doesn’t mean parents have to play and interact with their children all day long.

It’s okay for children to play by themselves some of the time. However, it is critical that children have some time every day really connecting with a parent.

Relationships are built and grow when we respond to each other.

I’ve decided I want to keep my own screen time to moments that I have planned to use it and not because my mind took me there by habit. So, tomorrow after school I am going to sit with my kids at the table as they eat their snack and leave my computer and phone in another room. After that, I will take some time to check my email and get the to-dos done. Then the kids and I are going to the park and I’m leaving my phone at home.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Things seem to be in high gear this week, Aries. Others around you are just as boisterous, and it may even seem manic.

Exercise a little extra patience to get through.

Libra, no matter how hard you try to get yourself heard, others just aren’t ready to listen. Perhaps you have to try a new approach to making your voice heard?

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you have been hiding something and it’s time you let your feelings out in the open this week. Pay attention to how others react to the news.

Scorpio, you may find yourself in trouble this week because you keep on starting new things without finishing others. Pretty soon you will have a list of unfinished business.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

If you crave adventure, Gemini, then it could be time to host a party or see if friends want to go out on the town. Staying home mulling over all of the options will get you nowhere.

Restlessness can get the better of you this week, Sagittarius. Just don’t jet off on some spur-of-the-moment trip to try to channel your energy. You have things to handle first.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

This week’s contradictory cosmic energy will not help you when making decisions, Cancer. It is entirely up to you and your gut instincts to make the right decisions.

Finding yourself in the middle of a sticky situation has you trying to discover a solution to a complicated problem, Capricorn. You might need to distance yourself for a little while.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, do not ignore the inner voice that is trying to tell you to take life more seriously. It can’t be all fun and games. Buckle down at work and set a plan into action.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Circumstances beyond your control will make work a little more stressful than you had anticipated, Virgo. Bide your time and soon the week will be over.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 A disagreement with a friend or family member could turn your schedule upside down for a little bit, Aquarius. You’ll get back on track soon enough and resolve your issues.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, getting your finances in order will take more than balancing your checkbook. It might be time to make some cuts and follow a budget.

Convergence Writers’ Weekend May 13 to 14

SILVERTON — Some West Kootenay environmentalists have found a unique way of joining the audience converging on Silverton, BC to attend the Convergence Writers’

Weekend May 13 to 14.

Members and supporters of Kootenays for a Pipeline-Free BC will leave Nelson, BC May 12 to cycle through the Slocan Valley in time to

arrive in Silverton for the evening opening event of the writers’ weekend. The weekend features two well-known environmental authors participating in talks, workshops and

panel discussions on the theme of “The Spirit in the Landscape.”

“It’s great we can ride to the Convergence weekend in Silverton,” said ride co-organizer

“Self-powered transport is going to be a bigger part of our clean energy future, and we can enjoy it now,” Wiley said.

“This year’s tour is about a wonderful ride through a beautiful landscape and about keeping in mind that we’re moving to a new future.”

Headline speakers at Silverton are Sharon Butala of Calgary, best known for her 1994 memoir of Saskatchewan ranch life, The Perfection of the Morning, and J. Edward Chamberlin of Halfmoon Bay, BC, whose If This Is Your Land, Where Are Your Stories?: Finding Common Ground (2003) explores how stories and songs locate people, including aboriginal groups worldwide, within a landscape.

More information about the Convergence Writers’ Weekend, including how to register, is available at www.heartsrest.com/ convergence/convergence-writers-retreat The Bikes Not Pipes ride will leave Nelson at noon May 12 and overnight in Winlaw, arriving at Silverton the next day.

Following the close of the Convergence Writers’ Weekend, the tour will leave Silverton on May 14, overnight in Kaslo, and reach Nelson on May 15. More information, including how to participate, is available from Wiley at 250-7772020, John Alton at 250777-1504, or email: noenbridgepipeline@gmail. com.

Wiley stresses that riders are welcome to join in at any stage of the ride.

The sponsoring organization for the Bikes Not Pipes tours, Kootenays for a Pipeline-Free BC, is a Nelson advocacy group that raises awareness about the dangers of oil pipeline development and other environmental threats.

Previous Convergence Writers’ Weekends were held in New Denver in 2012 and 2013. Financial support for this year’s convergence has come from the ProVision Fund of the BC Conference of the United Church, Area H of the Regional District of Central Kootenay, and the Columbia Basin Trust.

Castlegar hosts 2nd annual Peony Show

CASTLEGAR — Flower lovers are in for a treat as the Canadian Peony Society BC Yukon Division will be hosting a peony show on June 11 at the Castlegar Community Complex. This will be Castlegar’s second show — last year’s popular event saw over 300 entries, some from as far away as Regina.

This year’s show is planned a little earlier in the hopes that locals can just go out into the yard, cut their blooms, and enter them into the show. The show is an amateur, entry level show in which everyone is invited to participate. Entries must be delivered on Friday, June 10.

There are about 60 classes and four ribbons per class will be awarded.

Last year quite a number of the entries were from out of the region, and organizers would really love to see locals walk away with a lot of the ribbons this year. “We need the locals to buy in and help us make a fabulous show,” said organizer Holly Pender-Love. “One bud, one arrangement, ten or fifteen flowers, we don’t care. We want them to feel that the show belongs to Castlegar.”

The show will be held at the Castlegar Community Complex and along with the competitions, will also feature seminars and workshops. Seminars will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 11 and cover such topics as basic peony care, floral designs using peonies, flower selections to compliment your peonies and how to get seven weeks of bloom out of your peonies.

Even if you are not a gardener, the show itself is something you won’t want to miss. Starting at noon on June 11, a ribbon will be cut, and the public will be welcome to

view not just the winners, but all of the entries. Admission is free. When the show is over, any owners wishing to take home their entries will be allowed to collect them, and then all remaining blooms will be up for sale at 6 p.m.

If you would like more information about the show including information on how to cut your peonies early and store them for the show or how to ship peonies, contact Holly Pender-Love at hplove8@telus.net. Sponsors of the event include Castlegar Communities in Bloom, Castlegar Garden Club, Castlegar Chamber of Commerce, the City of Castlegar, RDCK Areas I and J and Columbia Basin Trust.
