Spring into a safer vehicle with tips from ICBC Thinking about buying a new or used vehicle this spring? What are the major factors to consider?

If you’re like me, cost and fuel efficiency come to mind first; but what about safety? With numerous new technological advancements since 2006, manufacturers now offer vehicles with safety features that help reduce crashes and injuries, which can also help save you money in the long run.

With more than half a million new and used vehicles sold in B.C. each year, it’s likely you or someone

you know will purchase a vehicle this year. Before you buy, we recommend researching safety features that will help protect you and your passengers. It’s a great way to know what you’re getting into.

One key safety feature is electronic stability control (ESC). A study done by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) found that ESC reduces the risk of a fatal singlevehicle crash by about 50 per cent. This feature is especially important in the Lower Mainland because the roads are often slippery from our high annual rainfall. ESC assists drivers in maintaining control of the vehicle for instance, in an emergency where you need to swerve or brake suddenly to avoid an obstacle. ESC works by selectively applying the vehicle’s brakes and/ or by reducing the engine’s power to keep it moving in the driver’s intended

direction, preventing loss of control. ESC works best at reducing the risk of a vehicle rollover, particularly with SUVs, some vans and pickup trucks. The good news is that ESC is now mandatory in all vehicles manufactured after September 1, 2011.

Airbag technology is another great safety feature that’s improved in recent years. Advanced front airbags increase safety and reduce the likelihood of injury by determining appropriate inflation levels for the driver and passenger. Sensors measure

the occupants’ size, seat position and severity of the crash. Curtain side airbags are recommended to minimize serious injuries in side-impact collisions.

These help decrease the chance of an ejection if a rollover were to occur. Side airbags are a great feature that can reduce your risk of injury in a side-impact crash by 45 per cent.

Buckling up for safety is also paramount. Threepoint seatbelts are now designed to fit passengers correctly according to height specifications. It’s important to remove any excessive slack when the belt is secured to ensure a less severe injury in a crash. Fortunately, B.C. has one of the highest rates of seat belt use in Canada, but there’s always room for improvement.

Active head restraints are another important safety feature you should consider when buying a vehicle.

More than 65 per cent of people injured in a crash report a soft tissue injury to their neck and/or back.

Some vehicles have active head restraints which automatically adjust by moving closer to the head to protect your head and neck in the event of a crash. Studies show that when adjusted to the proper height, your head restraint can reduce head and neck injuries by 24 to 44 per cent.

There are a lot of advertisements aimed at consumers buying a new vehicle, but the IIHS is a reliable information resource without the sales pitch. The IIHS conducts crash tests and rates the safety of each vehicle according to its performance: good, acceptable, marginal or poor.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is another reliable resource for vehicle research and they use a fivestar safety rating system.

Giant pandas come to Canada

P

rime Minister Harper visited the Toronto Pearson International Airport for the arrival of two giant pandas that China is providing to Canada for 10 years.

The Chinese Association of Zoological Gardens has agreed to grant two giant pandas to the Toronto Zoo – who will host them first – and the Calgary Zoo for a period of 10 years beginning March 25, 2013. Each zoo will care for the pair of pandas for a period of approximately five years.

Er Shun, the female panda whose name translates as “Double Smoothness”, was born at the Chongqing Zoo in China on August 10, 2007, and was raised by her mother. Her Chinese handlers characterize her as docile yet lively.

Da Mao, the male panda whose name translates as “Big Fur”, was born through artificial insemination at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in China on September 1, 2008, and was hand-reared. He is a lively and tender gentleman.

I

s it safe to use expired medications? The expiry date on drugs is not the same as the “best before” date on foods – it is the time within which the manufacturer guarantees the potency and safety of a drug. Many drugs stay safe and effective beyond their expiry date, but some don’t. Of particular concern are liquid preparations or drugs that can break down to toxic by-products. Always ask your pharmacist first.

These days there is so much more to providing good pharmaceutical care than filling prescriptions. One of the functions regularly performed by pharmacists these days is the medication review. Med reviews help patients to know and understand their prescriptions and ensure optimal medication use. A recent international survey of med reviews found that they can improve outcomes such as hospital readmissions.

Another study, in Australia, found that patients were receptive to having their medications reviewed (termed Home Medicines Review and usually includ-

It has been more than 20 years since giant pandas have walked on Canadian soil. Canada was home to giant pandas for short-term stays on three separate occasions in the 1980s. During that time, the Calgary, Toronto and Winnipeg zoos each hosted the animals.

China has had several long-term agreements of this nature with other nations. Australia, Austria, Japan, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United States have all been hosts to giant pandas.

Giant pandas, which are unique to China, are among the world’s most endangered species and are seen as symbols of peace, friendship and good fortune.

ing the physician) – particularly if they had concerns about their medications or a change had been made to their medications routine. Patients were also happy to receive a medication review when their physician recommended it to optimize their drug use.

More and more jurisdictions are allowing prescribing authority, under specific conditions, to pharmacists and other health professionals. Current literature agrees that non-physician prescribing is both safe and appropriate, and patient acceptability and satisfaction with this prescribing is high. And, pharmacists are also enjoying improved professional satisfaction with their ability to do more for their patients.

March is Canada’s Pharmacist Awareness Month. Providing more health care than you know: Ask a pharmacist.

BC NDP Tourism Critic Visits Abbotsford

Planned Gifts Mark Memories in BC Parks British Columbians have a special way to leave a legacy for future generations through BC Parks’ Planned Giving program.

The Planned Giving program provides a simple way for interested British Columbians to include provincial parks in their estate planning and makes gifting cash, financial securities or land easy.

BC New Democrat tourism critic Spencer Chandra-Herbert was in Abbotsford on Friday, March 22nd and attended a meeting with representatives from the Abbotsford tourism industry.

Donors identify a cause close to their hearts, making the donation a personal legacy for future generations of park visitors to enjoy. Examples include trail development, education programs or support for conservation efforts in specific parks.

For instance, one BC Parks’ donor, who prefers to remain anonymous, has decided he wants to leave part of his

legacy in Garibaldi Provincial Park. First introduced to the park in 1966, he still visits it every few years. In the case of this generous individual, he has donated over $200,000 in financial securities over three years that will be used to upgrade the Mamquam Lake trail and install foot bridges. This project will be completed and ready for park visitors to enjoy this summer.

Planned Giving program reduces the tax and capital gains burden for individuals and donations of $25 or more are eligible for an official tax receipt.

Quick Facts: BC Parks has received numerous bequests (gifts in wills) and donations of money and land over the years.

In 2008, BC Parks estabAlthough BC Parks is a gov- lished the Park Enhanceernment organization, a spe- ment Fund, a special account cial account was created in to store the value of gifts, 2008, separate from the pro- enhancing tax incentives vincial government’s rev- for individuals donating to enue fund, called the Park BC Parks.

Enhancement Fund. The PARKS, RECREATION & CULTURE Park Enhancement Fund is You can support children’s a transparent account where programs in BC Parks individuals and businesses through the “Text 2 Docan make donations - small nate” program. By texting or large - to specific parks “BCPARKS” to 45678 you and/or specific projects can donate $5 dollars. The that enhance our provincial donation will be added to next cellphone bill parks or the services offered your ABBOTSFORD RECREATION CENTRE in them, like the Mamquam and 100 per cent of every Lake trail upgrade. Donating donation will be spent on money through BC Parks’ children’s programs.

Canadian consumer price inflation rebounded in February

a.. Canada’s headline CPI rose by 1.2% in February, faster than market expectations for a 0.7% rise

b.. On a year-over-year basis, the inflation rate rose to 1.2% from 0.5% c.. Bank of Canada’s core measure rose 0.8% in February, beating consensus expectations for a 0.9% rise and stood 1.4% higher than a year earlier d.. Despite the snapback in prices in the month of February, inflation pressures remain muted with both the headline and core rate holding near the lower end of the Bank’s 1% to 3% target range. The sub-par

growth recorded in the second half of 2012 introduced more slack into the economy resulting in downward pressure being exerted on prices.

In the near term, this is likely to be the dominant factor influencing prices although with inflation expectations firmly anchored at the 2% target, the inflation rates are unlikely to move any lower. That said, the economy’s disappointing performance in late 2012 and the low starting point for the inflation rates in early 2013, make it likely that readings of sub-2% will persist until the latter part of 2014.

Against this backdrop, there is little urgency for the Bank of Canada

to embark on program of stimulus withdrawal and it now looks likely that the overnight rate will remain at 1.0% in 2013 and the first half of 2014 after which, a reacceleration in both the pace of growth and price pressures, are likely to prompt the Bank of Canada into action.

The unadjusted all-items Canadian CPI index rose 1.2% in February bringing the annual inflation rate to 1.2% from 0.5% in January. On a seasonally adjusted basis, consumer prices rose 0.7%.

The Bank of Canada’s core measure posted a larger than expected 0.8% gain in February cont’d on page 23

Technology Changing the Nature of the Skilled Trades Technology is having a profound impact on the nature of the skilled trades, apprenticeship training and journeyperson skills requirements, a report released today by the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum – Forum canadien sur l’apprentissage (CAFFCA) advises.

Based on a series of interviews with employers and trainers, the report suggests that computer literacy is increasingly a prerequisite of employment. The ‘digital gap’ will become as important as the ‘literacy gap’ over the next decade.

“It is clear that digital skills will have a big impact on worker and workplace productivity,” said Sarah Watts-Rynard, Executive Director of the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum. “The introduction of increasingly high-tech equipment and machinery requires skilled tradespeople to have competencies well beyond hands-on,

mechanical skills. We are also seeing the learning environment itself changing, requiring apprentices to interact with technology as part of their training process.”

The report notes the emergence of online learning, 3-D technology and simulation as an integrated part of apprenticeship technical training. Simulation, for example, is prevalent in training for welding, motive power, machining and heavy equipment operation trades. It provides opportunities for “hands-on” experience with real-time feedback, while reducing waste, increasing safety and safeguarding expensive equipment.

Journeypersons also rely on technology on worksites. For example, as electronic systems are increasingly integrated into vehicles, technicians must use diagnostic equipment to service them. In construction and manufactur-

ing trades, skilled tradespeople often use tablets and mobile devices to call up schematics, codes and work orders.

“We have heard for decades that technology can help workers be safer, faster and more accurate,” said Watts-Rynard. “But it’s important to remember that technology requires another facet to the learning process and it doesn’t always come automatically, even to younger workers.

Technical upgrades require skills upgrades.”

The Impact of Technology on Apprenticeship shares insights into the challenges identified by apprenticeship stakeholders, including a lack of policy framework and the increasing reliance on online learning programs developed in the U.S., which often overlook Canadian standards such as Red Seal. A series of recommendations also emerged in the study.

Retailers need a new PST number to make sales and get exemptions

W

ith only a few days left before the return of the Provincial Sales Tax (PST), retailers that have no t yet registered for the PST are being reminded they need to have a new PST account number in order to make retail sales and leases and to purchase inventory tax exempt starting April 1.

A retailer of PST taxable goods or services is required to register under the PST Act. Those wishing to make a taxable sale or lease on April 1, 2013 must be registered to levy and collect the tax on transactions. Registration is fast and easy online at: www.gov.bc.ca/pst Over 63,000 businesses have already registered.

Businesses will not be able to purchase goods from their supplier tax exempt without providing a PST number or completing a certificate of exemption. These items include: · Goods purchased solely for resale or lease · Software or telecommunication services purchased solely for resale · Goods or software purchased to be incorporated into goods for resale

Suppliers must show the PST registration number on the invoice or sales document, or maintain a properly completed certificate of exemption, to support their non collection of the tax. Otherwise, they are required to charge the tax on the sale, and purchasers will have to apply for a refund of the tax after the item is sold at retail.

A wide range of tools and services are available to help businesses prepare for the re-implementation of the PST including: · One-on-one consultations with a government tax specialist. · Online webinars covering the general principles of the PST and eTaxBC. · PST bulletins and notices. · Videos online: - Returning to the PST – An Overview for Business - PST in B.C. Online Registration · Businesses with questions about the PST can call our toll-free help line – 1 877 3884440 or email questions to: CTBTaxQuestions@gov.bc.ca · Final regulations and legislation to reimplement the PST on April 1, 2013 are now available.

B.C. celebrates Day of Forests with seven-billionth tree

T

o commemorate the International Day of Forests, B.C. has planted its seven-billionth tree at the UBC Malcolm Knapp Research Forest, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson announced today.

The seven-billionth tree, a western white pine, marks a major milestone for reforestation in the province. The province has sown 241 million seeds for planting in 2013. British Columbia uses a mix of over 20 different native tree species, which helps ensure adaptable, resilient and diverse habitats.

The western white pine species is a success story in tree improvement research. Once widespread across southern B.C, the introduction of white pine blister rust in 1914 made the species uneconomical.

Collaborative research between the Canadian and B.C. forest services and industry created a successful breeding program to reintroduce a more rust-resistant white pine. White pine from the breeding program is fastgrowing, adaptable to a wide range of locations, and cost-effective for reforestation programs. The species is being planted in B.C.’s forests, improving biodiversity and timber supply.

On average, about 200 million seedlings are planted each year in British Columbia. Wildfire and mountain pine beetle impacted areas are prioritized through the Forests for Tomorrow program, which has surveyed over 1.3 million hectares and planted over 80 million seedlings on more than 61,000 hectares since 2005. An $11-million pro-

PAGE 18

vincial fertilization program will begin in 2014, fertilizing about 21,000 hectares and producing an additional 460,000 cubic metres of timber.

B.C.’s reforestation programs began in 1930 and reached the first billion trees planted mark in 1981. Since then, a ceremonial planting has been made for every billion trees planted. The second-billion mark was planted in Surrey in 1989; the third billion in Kamloops in 1993; the fourth billion at the Campbell River Museum in 1997; and the fifth billion at the Prince George Exhibition grounds in 2002. The sixth-billionth tree was planted just four years ago at Knox Mountain Park in Kelowna.

Quotes: Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson – “Planting our seven-billionth tree is an incredible accomplishment and shows how hard we work to reforest the land. International Day of Forests was created to promote sustainable forest management, and I’m proud to say that B.C.’s forest sector is a global leader.”

Dr. Yousry El-Kassaby, forest resources management department head, UBC faculty of forestry –

“The western white pine is a good choice for B.C.’s seven-billionth tree. It’s a tree that showcases the years of research done by many people to create a disease resistant, high-value, and productive tree. The Malcolm Knapp Research Forest is pleased to have this tree as an example of the great work being done for sustainable forestry in B.C.” Quick Facts: · B.C. is one of the most heavily forested jurisdictions in the world with over 55 million hectares of forested lands. · Licensees have been legally required to reforest the areas that they harvest since 1987. · Last year, over 225 million seedlings were planted in B.C. · The Province recently released a 10-year Strategic Forest Inventory Plan, supported with $8 million annually for the life of the plan. Through this plan, 35 million hectares will be inventoried in mountain pine beetle affected and other priority areas. · In 2014-15, the ministry will invest $11 million on a provincial fertilization program, which will fertilize about 24,000 hectares and produce an additional 460,000 cubic metres of timber.

on an unadjusted basis with the seasonally-adjusted index up a more moderate 0.4%. Relative to a year earlier, the Bank’s core rate stood at 1.4%, higher than January’s 1.0%.

In the month of February, prices for clothing, travel accommodation and vehicles posted gains. These increases were accompanied by a 8.4% jump in gasoline prices. Small declines in electricity, mortgage interest costs, air transportation costs and computer equipment and software merely dented the monthly rise in the overall index. Relative to a year earlier, gasoline prices stood 3.9% higher. Clothing and footwear prices, despite rising 4.0% in the month, stood 0.5% below the same period in 2012 as February’s rebound followed three months of

the headline and core rate holding near the lower end of the Bank’s 1% to 3% target range.

The sub-par growth recorded in the second half of 2012 introduced more slack into the economy resulting in downward pressure being exerted on prices. In the near term, this is likely to be the dominant factor influencing prices although with inflation expectations firmly an-

chored at the 2% target, the inflation rates are unlikely to move any lower. That said, the economy’s disappointing performance in late 2012 and the low starting point for the inflation rates in early 2013, make it likely that readings of sub-2% will persist until the latter part of 2014.

Against this backdrop, there is little urgency for the Bank of Canada to embark on program

of stimulus withdrawal and it now looks likely that the overnight rate will remain at 1.0% in 2013 and the first half of 2014 after which, a reacceleration in both the pace of growth and price pressures, are likely to prompt the Bank of Canada into action.

New virtual grocery store helps families make healthier choices

A

new virtual grocery shopping tool designed by provincial nutritionists in collaboration with major B.C. grocery retailers is helping British Columbians make the best food choices for their families.

Shopping Sense provides a multimedia experience for shoppers and is supported by grocery chains Safeway, Thrifty Foods, Real Canadian Superstore, Save-On-Foods and MarketPlace IGA. The five retailers recognize the need to help families plan and prepare healthy, affordable meals before they step foot in the grocery store. The chains are showing their support with the option of promoting the tool through in-store flyers, digital newsletters, social media and on their websites.

“We are providing families with the tools to plan healthy meals,” said Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid. “Planning ahead before grocery shopping is one way that we are helping to make the healthy choice the easy choice. And it’s great that we have our grocery retailers’ support.”

The Shopping Sense tool – found at www. shoppingsensebc.ca – is a new addition to the Healthy Families BC website. The site provides an experience that mirrors an instore, dietitian-led tour, helping families plan meals, prepare budgets and develop safe food-handling practices.

“We can’t underestimate the importance of healthy eating,” said Melodie Yong, registered dietitian and the Shopping Sense online host. “Good food fuels us.

Choosing wisely in the grocery store is easy with a little preparation and this tool offers that up in a fun and convenient way.”

Evidence shows that physical activity and healthy eating can prevent or delay the onset of chronic diseases that take a huge toll on lives and on our health-care budget—and this pays great dividends for patients and the health-care system.

Reducing sodium and sugary drink consumption and increasing fruits and vegetables in family meals are key strategies British Columbians can adopt to promote their good health.

Healthy Families BC is a public-health strategy that focuses on health improvement for British Columbian families and their communities. Other online resources include Sodium Sense and Sugary Drink Sense, helping people learn to identify lower sodium and sugar options, so they can make healthier eating choices in real life.

Earth Hour 2013 energy savings increase across B.C.

B

Facts:

ritish Columbians saved 136 megawatt hours of electricity and reduced the provincial electricity load by 1.95 per cent during Earth Hour Saturday night – the equivalent of turning off more than 10 million 12.5-watt LED light bulbs.

Many communities across the province successfully improved their Earth Hour energy savings from the previous year. Comox and Courtenay saw the highest reduction at nearly 10 per cent.

Earth Hour is an annual global event hosted by the World Wildlife Fund and supported by BC Hydro. This year marks the sixth year of BC Hydro’s support of the event. The goal of Earth Hour is to encourage individuals to turn off unnecessary lights and electronics in an effort to conserve power and in doing so, demonstrate support for climate change reduction efforts.

This year, many BC Hydro account holders were able to track their elec-

· The top five B.C. communities for this year’s Earth Hour were: Comox, Courtenay, North Saanich, Sidney and Qualicum. · Vancouver ’s electricity load dropped by 2.4 per cent during Earth Hour 2013.

tricity use by logging onto MyHydro – their online account – at www. bchydro.com/myhydro. They were able to see the hourly breakdown for their account and compare Earth Hour electricity use with their use on the Saturday prior to Earth Hour.

Power Smart tips help British Columbians make a difference in energy conservation through simple efforts year-round. Since 2007, BC Hydro’s Power Smart programs have saved close to 4,300 gigawatt hours per year of electricity – enough to power 390,000 B.C. homes.

· In 2012, British Columbians saved 121 megawatt hours of electricity and reduced the provincial electricity load by 1.67 per cent during Earth Hour – the equivalent of turning off about 9 million 12.5-watt LED light bulbs. · The total provincial energy savings from Earth Hour participation since 2008 is 500.27 megawatt hours of electricity – the equivalent of turning off 40 million 12.5-watt LED light bulbs. · The province-wide energy savings reported since BC Hydro began supporting Earth Hour are as follows: 121 megawatt hours in 2012; 117 megawatt hours in 2011; 64.6 mega-

watt hours in 2010; 72.67 megawatt hours in 2009; and 125 megawatt hours in 2008. · New electricity use tracking tools are available online through MyHydro thanks to BC Hydro’s new smart meters and smart grid. About 1.1 million BC Hydro customers now have access to this energy use information. As the remaining smart meters and components of the smart grid are deployed across B.C., more customers will be able to track their own Earth Hour results in the future. · BC Hydro provides tools, resources and incentives to help people conserve year-round. Visit www.bchydro.com/powersmart for more tips on how to be smart with your power.

Somebody could be more willing than you realise to blend in with you and do things your way. You are in the stronger position.

They will not let you know that and they will hide any insecurity they have. You need to carefully look into where you stand, what you want as well as considering the responsibilities that come with them.

You can feel overpowered without really knowing exactly why or where it is actually stemming from. Others have more power and they don’t see any reason to be open about future plans. This could be because they are happy to live in the moment, to see how matters pan out eventually. Find time to yourself to contemplate the future

You need to consider your priorities from more than one angle. Whatever has put you under pressure since early February should have made you aware of many things, including obligations you should drop. People are willing to assist you and this can include recommending you. You just have to work out what is best.

Best to be unpredictable with any person who attempts to control a situation too much. There could be all sorts of obligations attached, meaning it would be wise of you to remain detached from any type of long term commitment. Not to say there are not opportunities but they are still a long way off being able to fully develop.

There is much going on to focus you on the future. Your view will tend towards optimism, which is a good thing. There can be dramatic change from what has been the past, allowing you to eventually forge quite different directions. Involved in this will be dealing with many small details. Success will depend upon doing this.

Life may seem to be dictated by the needs of others and the ability they have in ensuring the focus remains on them. You may not be able to work out exactly what their expectations are. You will have the opportunity to organise situations of enjoyment or pleasure. Be determined about this – it will be your saving grace.

Joining forces with somebody else will appeal, as this tends to come naturally. They have a stronger position but also possess some willingness to work with you or make compromises. Working out what they are prepared to do will give you more confidence about what can be accomplished. It is you who can see these things.

A lot cannot be fully seen right now, though at the same time you know much detail needs to be taken care of. Personal commitment and responsibility is something you cannot relax on. Remain focussed on daily details.

Keep communication open with people that are important. Even so there is a little fun to be had as well.

Enjoyment can arise from most unexpected circumstances. This could bring new people into your life or you may see a new side to somebody you have known for a while. It might begin to make clear plans you can move ahead with that have been going through much flux and change since early February. Remain true to yourself.

You can be more determined than ever to do things your way – it can result in a feeling of an incredible sense of personal power. This can involve family or it may have a lot to do with restructuring the way you have been dealing with your life. Becoming more efficient with time on a daily basis could make a huge difference.

You could be very tempted to say exactly what you think, even though you know it will cause a stir. This is likely not a bad thing. The only situation you would have to watch would be whether it can affect you financially. There is much to enjoy and although there may not be a lot of time that can allocated – take what you can.

Greater clarity on what should be your main priorities will begin to emerge, mainly because you are less likely to be influenced by any sense of guilt or having to compromise.

What can be afforded financially might come into play but even here you may have come to realise some things of satisfaction are not monetary based.

FA C T S H E E T Office of the Premier Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Responsible for Labour

BC Jobs Plan: Getting Results Together Since release of the BC Jobs Plan, B.C. has added 47,100 jobs as a result of a gain of 77,500 full-time positions combined with a loss of 30,300 part-time positions (as of February 2013). · The current unemployment rate in British Columbia is 6.3 per cent (February 2013) – the fourth-lowest in Canada, down from 7.0 per cent one year ago and 7.5 per cent when the Jobs Plan was released. · B.C. exports to China increased to $6 billion in 2012, a 16 per cent increase over 2011, while exports to India increased to $321 million, almost a 60 per cent increase in one year. · The capital cost of all major projects currently under construction in B.C. is estimated at $80.6 billion, up from $78.9 billion reported in the third quarter of 2012. The capital cost of proposed projects is estimated at approximately $156.3 billion, up from $131.2 billion in the previous quarter. · In addition to Copper Mountain Mine (near Princeton), which began production in June 2011, two new mines have begun production since release of the BC Jobs Plan (New Afton, near Kamloops, and Treasure Mountain, near Hope), and three more are now under construction. · Since the BC Jobs Plan was released, the Province has approved six major expansions of existing mines. · In 2012, Port Metro Vancouver beat its previous record with eight per cent growth in container traffic in 2012. In late 2012, the Prince Rupert Container Terminal also reached a major milestone, shipping half a million cargo containers – surpassing its original design capacity. · To date, three liquefied natural gas facilities have been granted export licences by the National Energy Board. As of January 2013, there are five LNG project proposals that have been formally announced. If five large LNG plants are built, the cumulative gross domestic product benefit to British Columbia is expected to add up to $1 trillion by 2046. · According to a recent Reuters report, B.C. attracts more than 20 per cent of all venture capital investment in Canada, with venture capital investment growing by 71% in Q2 (over 2011) – the largest gain in the country. · Through the BC Jobs Plan, government committed to engaging with British Columbians. Over the past 18 months, the public has responded to the BC Jobs Plan’s open invitation for feedback, stories, ideas and input on government policies, priorities and direction. · During this time, the BC Jobs Plan website has received 267,000 unique visits while the #Skills4BC engagement received over 400 comments and 80 emails from citizens from every region of the province. As a result of that engagement, over 100 government actions to build a skills workforce and change perceptions of trades careers have been adopted.

More ads than films for Mads While the wait to see Madam Madhuri on the big screen continues, the actress herself is making up for it on the small screen. La Dixit has been doing more ads than films and we hear that she has clinched one more deal. This time to en-

dorse a tea brand. And insiders say that she has replaced Saif Ali Khan as the face of the brand. Among the earliest ads, one can recall Ustad Zakir Hussain endorsing the product and with Madhuri, the tabla flavour too will return. Buzz is that Madhuri will be seen doing intricate Kathak steps. After being choreographed by Pandit Birju Maharaj for a song in Dedh Ishqiya she will once again dance to his tunes in the ad too.

Anushka to star in Steven Spielberg's film?

The seven-film old actor Anushka Sharma is surely riding high on success. She has left eyebrows raised and mouth wide open of one and all. The just 24-year-old actor, is reportedly shortlisted for a Steven Spielberg's movie.

In her career of five years, she is reportedly the front-runner for the legendary Hollywood filmmaker's next movie on IndoPak affairs, for which he just came visiting. "We have finalised a script...but we're still trying to figure out the casting, locations and who's going to direct it," Spielberg said in a session hosted by actor Amitabh Bachchan in Mumbai. If all goes well and Anushka is finalised, she'll get to share screen space with actors such as Denzel Washington, Bradley Cooper and Richard Gere.

Arshad approached to judge Sources say that Arshad Warsi has been approached to judge the dance reality show India’s Dancing Superstar on Star Plus. Arshad in the past has hosted Bigg Boss (season 1) and co-hosted a dance show Razzmatazz. It’s a known fact that before becoming an actor, Arshad was a dancer and choreographer. On Nach Baliye, he revealed that he had represented India in an international dancing competition way back in 1989, which he had won. He later started his own dance troupe. “It was when he came on the sets to promote his film Jolly LLB that he was approached to be on the panel of judges for India’s Dancing Superstar,” reveals the source.

Deols Sing for Dharam!

The Deol siblings — Sunny and Bobby — have found the perfect way to pay a tribute to papa Dharmendra. Buzz is that the two will be singing a special number in their film Yamla Pagla Deewana 2. And adding glamour to the song will be their leading lady — new import Kristina Akheeva — who makes her debut in the film. A source says, “The Deols have planned a special promotional song for the film that will have them lend their voices and will also have Kristina dance in Dharamji’s typical style as an ode to the veteran star. The song has been kept hidden even from Dharamji and the Deols can’t wait to see his reaction once they record and shoot it, though they may want to feature him in it too. Kristina is also very excited about dancing in true

Sherlyn

Bollywood style for this special number.” Another source adds, “Kristina’s working really hard to get the Indian dance moves right, especially Dharamji’s steps. She wants to add a lot of grace to her dance so she undergoing rigorous training for the same.”

to shoot item

song for Kamasutra 3D Actress Sherlyn Chopra will soon shoot an item song for her debut movie Kamasutra 3D. Rupesh Paul, director of the film, said the song will be used as a promotional tool.

"Yes, we do have an item number in the film, which will also be used as the promotional song," said Paul.

"The song will be picturised on Sherlyn itself. We will start shooting for the song soon. We might shoot for the song towards the end of the film," he added.

The camera will start rolling for the film from March 20 in Mumbai.

"We will begin with a song sequence. Then we will shoot the rest of the film in Jodhpur," said the director.

The meaning of Holi!

iving in Canada almost disconnects us with our festivals. Holi is on March 27, 2013. Here we do not find the fervor that this festival creates in India. Across the country and also in Punjab, this festival is celebrated with jest and gaiety. Holi (also called Holaka or Phagwa) is

an annual festival celebrated on the day after the full moon in the Hindu month of Phalguna (early March). It celebrates spring, commemorates various events in Hindu mythology and is time of disregarding social norms and indulging in general merrymaking. Holi is probably the least religious of Hindu holidays. During Holi, During Holi, all attend a public bonfire, spray friends and family with colored powders and water, and generally go a bit wild in the streets.

Celebrated all over India since ancient times, Holi’s precise form and purpose display great variety. Originally, Holi was an agricultural festival celebrating the arrival of spring. This aspect still plays a significant part in the festival in the form of the colored powders. Holi is a time when man and nature alike throw off the gloom of winter and rejoice in the colors and liveliness of spring. Holi also commemorates various events in Hindu mythology, but for most Hindus it provides a temporary opportunity for Hindus to disregard social norms, indulge in merrymaking and generally “let loose.”

The legend commemorated by the festival of Holi involves an evil king named Hiranyakashyap. He forbade his son Prahlad from worshipping Vishnu, but Prahalad continued to do offer prayers to the god. Getting angry with his son, Hiranyakashyap challenged Prahlad to sit on a pyre with his wicked aunt Holika who was believed to be immune to fire. (In an alternate version, Holika put herself and Prahlad on the fire on orders from her brother.)

Prahlad accepted the challenge and prayed to Vishnu to keep him safe. When the fire started, everyone watched in amazement as Holika was burnt to death, while Prahlad survived without a scar to show. The burning of Holika is celebrated as Holi. According to some accounts, Holika begged

age. Holi thus bridges social gaps and brings people together: employees and employers, men and women, rich and poor, young and old. Holi is also characterized by the loosening of social norms governing polite behavior and the resulting general atmosphere of licentious merrymaking and ribald language and behavior.

A common saying heard during Holi is bura na mano, Holi hai (“don’t feel offended, it’s Holi”).

On the evening of the first day of Holi, a public bonfire is held, commemorating the burning of Holika. Traditionally, Hindu boys spend the weeks prior to Holi combing the neighborhood for any waste wood they can find for the bonfire. The fire is lit sometime between 10 PM and midnight (at the rising of Prahlad for forgiveness before the moon), not generally in an her demise, and he decreed that orderly fashion.

JOLLY LLB

o, Jolly LLB isn’t a comedy - despite jokes about ‘appeal’ spelled as ‘apple’ and Jolly telling Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists he’s Mas khar-e-Taiba, Jolly LLB is a serious movie, showcasing the arrogance of the rich, the helplessness of the poor and the corruption of the law.

Jolly (Warsi) is a struggling mofussil lawyer, itching for big-city deals. He convinces girlfriend Sandhya (Rao, attractive and effective in her hot schoolmarm-avataar) and hits Delhi’s District and Sessions Court where his ‘office’ is a desk under the sky. Jolly flounders about until he meets the superpolished, super-successful Tejinder Rajpal (Irani), arguing the ‘victimization’ of his rich client Rahul Dewan, whose Land Cruiser’s run over six labourers on a footpath. An eye-witness appears - Jolly files a PIL. What happens when Rajpal replies using cash?

Rather like its protagonist, Jolly LLB’s first half meanders a bit, featuring a clumsy ‘daaru’ song and a Meerut that mysteriously hides - but boy, does its second half hammer things home. With crackling scenes between Jolly versus Rajpal (Irani deadly smooth, like velvet soaked in blood) and Rajpal versus judge Tripathi (Shukla in a brilliant

show, hysterically yelling, “Gavel kidhar rakha hai?!”, thundering at Rajpal, “Sit down! Ye mera court hai, aapka club nahin!”), the action becomes electric.

Drama builds as Jolly (Warsi, highly endearing and impressive) finds his voice. Jolly’s astonishment at Rajpal’s callousness - “Footpath sone ke liye nahin hai” - Jolly responding, “Footpath gaadi chalane ke liye bhi nahin hai!”, mirrors the aam aadmi’s bewilderment and determination to fight.

Jolly LLB works because of its bigger point - decency is for all and worth fighting for. Using bittersweet satire and plot twirls, the film shows corruption even used against the corrupt. Despite that weaker first half, this truly becomes a Jolly good show.

NOTE: You will not like this movie if you don’t enjoy courtroom dramas with moral twists.

5. The economic survey for Punjab indicates that women’s health is a big concern for the state. Over 38% women suffer from anemia in Punjab while 23% children below three years of age are grossly malnourished.

6. The state budget presented in the assembly by finance minister Parminder

Singh Dhindsa has been slammed by the opposition for its lack of direction.

Leader of opposition Sunil Jakhar said, “The budget has nothing to offer.

Rather the debt on the Punjabis would further go up to Rs 1,02,282 crore by March 2014 from existing 86,453 crore, courtesy ill-polices of the state.

They have reduced the budget allocation for the SC/ST and others from Rs 786 to Rs 737 crore. There is none in the government to watch the interest of urban inhabitants as its funds had also been reduced to Rs 663 crore in the new budget while last year the figure was Rs 772 crore.”

7. Seeking restoration of lost pride of Indian hockey in international arena and to make Punjab a nursery for national hockey again, Punjab finance minister Parminder Singh Dhindsa on Wednesday announced setting up of two new stadia at Badal bastions, including the family village in Lambi.

8. Patients seeking treatment in government medical colleges can hope to get free medicines and consumables.

With the health insurance cover of below poverty line population set to increase, the state government has also launched a cashless health insurance cover for its employees.

P

rior to showing your home, and after a thorough evaluation with a Real Estate Professional, you should have the following: a realistic idea of the price, how low you will settle, what conditions you will accept; and what terms would be agreeable.

With this information, you are prepared.

When an offer is presented, you will be able to compare it to your initial guidelines.

Your Real Estate Professional will evaluate these offers and, hopefully, arrive at one that comes closest to your objectives. At the same time, however, your Real Estate Professional will likely exercise some leveraging power with any other negotiable items. A Real Estate Professional works on your behalf, considering all the factors, you as a buyer, and the seller, to work at an agreement that is satisfactory for both parties. It comes down to persuasion and negotiation. Your Real Estate Professional has specialized training in this important area.

Understanding the offer Evaluating the offer When you have found the home you want, you will need to make a formal written offer. This is called an “offer to purchase.�

This is a legally binding document which should be completed with due care and diligence. This document outlines what you, the buyer will give (a combination of price and terms) to the seller in exchange for the home.

Buyer information. Seller information.

This includes items (for both parties) such as name, legal and civic address of the property to be purchased.

The purchase price.

Inclusions in the purchase price (e.g. appliances, carpeting, fixtures, etc.) related to the original listing. List any additions or exclusions. Be sure there are no liens or payment dates due on these items Detailed financial information: deposit cont’d on page R7 amount, refund

It is highly recommended that a lawyer or real estate agent prepare the offer on your behalf. This will reduce any financial or time errors. Review the document before signing. If there is anything you do not understand, be sure to ask for clarification.

Once signed, the document is binding and you could face consequences upon default.

An interested buyer will present an offer to your Real Estate Professional through his or her agent. Your agent will discuss the offer with you, ensuring you understand all aspects. The offer should clearly outline all terms, conditions and details of the sale including:

• No Broker Fees • Best Possible Rates • Excellent Construction Mortgage Package • Fixed, Variable and Mortgage Lines of Credit • Pre-approvals, Transfers, Refinancing • Up to 35 Year Amortizations • •

of interest on deposit, down payment and mortgage, etc.

Closing date for the sale of the property If you are assuming the seller’s mortgage, complete details of this obligation. If the mortgage is not being assumed, the owner needs to provide supporting documents, to show clear title (free of all encumbrances).

Existing mortgages must be discharged with sale proceeds on closing.

Possession date Any Conditions to sale, such as satisfactory home inspection, mortgage approval; sale of an existing home, etc.)

Any work/obligations to be completed by seller between the closing date and the date of occupancy (e.g. repairs, painting, leaving the premises) Offer time frame. This is the period for which the offer is valid. The offer either expires or is up for re-negotiation on that date.

A Real Property Report is mandatory by the financial institution for mortgage approval and by the lawyer or notary for transfer of ownership. This certificate indicates outdoor improvements, from the date of construction, such as decks, patios or pools.

Net proceeds

ď °ď ?ď Şď ď ˘ď ‰ď€ ď °ď €ď Šď ąď ’ď Ťď Keep in mind that the purchase price is not the final price you will receive. That is because you will have additional fees to cover from the sale of the home including: - lawyer - real estate agent - bank (for the balance of your mortgage and for any prepayment or discharge penalties) - taxes (if there are any outstanding) You and your agent should thoroughly review every detail. If there is anything you do not understand, ask!

Before you accept and sign the offer, it is a good idea to have your lawyer review the offer. This way, you can be confident nothing has been missed, everything is legally accurate, and your interests are protected.

Offer strategies You could handle the offer in several ways, according to your timing and needs.

If you are not attached to the home you want to buy, you could try and present a very low offer. This offer is considerably lower than the asking price. However, a low offer may be successful if the seller is desperate to sell. The seller could present a counter offer. Alternatively, the seller might turn down your offer completely and refuse to sell the home cont’d on page R10

to you. Your Real Estate Professional can offer some professional guidance on presenting a fair and reasonable offer.

When you have fallen in love with a home, and you really want the home, you could present your best offer. This offer leaves no negotiating room, but if the market is hot, it is an offer that will attract attention.

Your Real Estate Professional can advise you on the best way of making an offer that is fair and reasonable, without indicating to the seller that you are desperate. Why pay more than necessary.

In a seller’s market, perhaps you may want to pitch a price, along with the multiple offers probably on the table. This often happens when there is a bidding war for the property. You could up the offer, or walk away from the home.

An offer can be conditional or firm When your offer is firm, then you are telling the seller you are willing to purchase the home without any conditions. Upon acceptance of the offer, you have purchased the home. This is a legally binding agreement.

Upon default, if you are unable to close, you could lose your deposit and face legal consequences. Be sure to confirm your financial matters prior to signing any documents.

PAGE R10

A conditional offer includes stipulations on the purchase. These could revolve around a home inspection, financing, or sale of your existing home. If any of these conditions are not met then the home is not sold.

The deposit A sum of money, usually no larger than 3-5% of the purchase price, shows that you are serious about purchasing the home. This amount will be applied against the purchase of the home when the sale closes.

From offer to acceptance Upon reviewing your offer, the seller can accept it as is, reject it or return with a counter offer. A counter could be in regards to price, conditions, closing date or other variables. The offers will continue between the seller and the buyer, until both parties have come to some agreement, or one party stops the negotiations.

Once the offer meets with your approval, you will want to secure the transaction with a deposit. This indicates your intention to proceed with the purchase. When you have accepted the offer, you will proceed through the closing details until you move in. The next article in this series explains the closing procedures.
