If you’ve ever shared a fridge with people you didn’t know very well, you’ve got a fair-ly good grasp of part of what food sover-eignty is all about.
A special guest of NDP MP Alex Ata-manenko has ar-rived in the West Kootenays and will share her consider-able knowledge on the food sovereignty topic with interested residents of Nelson, Grand Forks, then onto Oliver, Cawston and Princeton.
Th ere are fi ve pre-sentations in fi ve nights for Colleen Ross, Vice President of Policy with the Na-tional Farmers Union. Ross also works closely with a global movement called Via Campesina, “fi ghting to advance the con-cept of food sover-eignty and sustainable food systems.”
Th ere are few other topics, if any, that per-tain to as many people
as food-related top-ics do. Th ere’s grow-ing concern among a growing number of people in regard to food: where it comes from; how much it costs; how long it will be available, etc. Another key consid-eration involves local people who produce some of the food we depend on, and issues relating to competi-tion they face from producers from any number of countries. It’s a complicated sub-ject, but one eagerly taken on by Ross who touched down at Castlegar Airport with Atamanenko on Friday.
Agriculture is an important activity right across the coun-try, and while some regions may have a higher profi le in terms of output, the BC Southern Interior MP pointed out that this region has im-portant agricultural components of its own.”Th ere’s certainly a movement here,” he said, “whether
in the Slocan Val-ley... in Pass Creek and other areas... Grand Forks – where they’re to revitalize and get land back into production.”We’re just really fortunate that we found out Colleen wanted to come out to British Columbia. So we set up this tour.”
What was once commonplace has, in many cases, gone by the wayside over the years as produc-tion and market-ing techniques have evolved. Commerce has evolved as well and certain producers have been squeezed out along the way.
“We’ve become a globalized economy here,” Ross contin-ued, “a lot of farm-ers have gotten out of farming, they just can’t compete with cheap imports. We need to start looking at our food security and food sovereignty in this country. Th at means making space for farmers, and sup-porting those farmers so they can be viable.”

For an issue that has been disputed for the better part of the last two decades, it was no surprise to fi nd divergent feel-ings on the announce-ment today that the Jumbo Glacier Resort proposal has been ap-proved by the provin-cial government.
“Th is project (about 50 kilometres west of Invermere) has been reviewed to death,” John Winter,
President and CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce is quoted from a press release. “It’s good to see BC sending a clear sig-nal that major proj-ects like these will be judged on their own merits.”
Opposition to the project, meanwhile has been present and vocal every step of the way and remained so aft er word was put out in Victoria in the early aft ernoon.
Th e BC Liberals’ announcement that
they have approved the development of a resort in the Jumbo Valley is both surpris-ing and a devastating blow to the area, indi-cated Kootenay West MLA Katrine Conroy in a March 20 press release.
“People in Koote-nay West have written and e-mailed me to say they strongly dis-agree with building a resort in the Jumbo Valley,” said Conroy. “It doesn’t make sense environmentally or economically.”

A group from Gos-pel Chapel in Grand Forks has returned from a trip to an HIV positive orphanage in Th ailand.
Th e Abundant Life Home (ALH) located in Chonburi, Th ai-land, fi rst opened its doors in April 2006 to fi ve young boys who were HIV positive.
Th e orphanage is still undergoing some construction for ad-ditional homes for the youth.
Currently, ALH houses six boys and six girls in two sepa-rate buildings.
“It was very life-changing because you view things now very diff erently,” explained Lee-Anna Klassen, one of the 12 members in Team Th ai to go on the trip. “We saw how blessed we are here in North America. Th e abundance that we
have here and it just caused us to think about that.”
Klassen stated they were expecting to see children who were more sickly, but were surprised to see them thriving, healthy and happy.
“Th e lady who had started the orphan-
age had originally planned for rooms on the lower fl oor for mourning and they brought extra prop-erty so they could have a graveyard,” she added. “But rather than doing funer-als, they’re thinking about possibly hav-ing to do weddings in
the future because all the kids are doing so well.”
Team Th ai brought 12 suitcases full of supplies including medicine, food, fi rst aid, sheets and tow-els.
Th e group took the children out on out-ings to the zoo, swim-
ming and the beach, allowing the house moms a break from caring for the chil-dren.
During their time at the orphanage, the group was able to cre-ate a soccer fi eld by spreading out dirt and laying down the sod.
“Th e grass was sprouting by the time
we left ,” Klassen said. Klassen hopes to be
able to return to Th ai-land in the future, especially during the fall of 2013 for the grand opening of the orphanage.
“We would like to go back,” she said. “It’s an expensive fl ight to get there, but it’s not that expensive once
you get there.” Members of Team
Th ai included Rob, Lee-Anna, Breeanne and Nate Klassen, Les and Susan Mol-nar, Dora Salkeld, Rae Salkeld, Doug and Sybil Sinclair, Greg Doucette, and Stephanie Tetzel and they were in Th ailand from Jan. 11 to Feb. 1.

A boil water adviso-ry has been issued for the Sutherland Creek Water Works District in Christina Lake. Th e water works dis-trict encompasses the area from Fisk Road to Tedesco Road, on both sides of High-way 3, and part way up Fife Road. “Th e (Sutherland Creek) Water Works District has been advised by the environmental health offi cer for Inte-
rior Health (IH) that a weekly laboratory sample of our water tested unacceptable and therefore a boil advisory was issued,” Sutherland Creek Wa-ter Works District Ad-ministrator Judy Black told the Grand Forks Gazette.
Amendments made to Grand
Forks’ travel expense allowance policy
Th e City of Grand Forks has made
amendments to the travel expense al-lowance policy that will cover the costs of council members’ partners for banquets and reception meals while attending con-ferences. Diane Hein-rich, corporate offi cer for the city, explained that council directed staff to do a review on the travel expense policy at the Feb. 20 meeting.

A Week of Solidar-ity with the Peoples Struggling against Racism and Racial Discrimination will have as a local high-light a Community Celebration Satur-day, March 24, 2012 atPassmore, Slocan Valley.
Th e General As-sembly of the United Nations decided that a week of solidar-ity with the peoples struggling against racism and racial dis-crimination, begin-ning on 21 March, would be organized annually in all states. Th e Assembly has adopted a resolution that acknowledges the incompatibility between democracy and racism.
Th e fi rst article of the Universal Dec-laration of Human Rights affi rms that “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”
March 21 was the
International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimi-nation reminds us of our collective respon-sibility for promoting and protecting this idea.
Th e Sinixt Nation and the Perry Ridge Water Users Associa-tion will be hosting a fundraising dinner at the Passmore Hall on Saturday, march 24, with a discussion on “Truth & Reconcilia-tion- Creating a Path to Harmony.”
Democracy is not a spectator sport; it requires participa-tion to make it work. Th e public is invited to participate in cre-ating a path to har-mony and join in cel-ebrating the diversity in the Slocan Valley.
Th ere will also be a quick update on BC Timber Sales con-tinued plans to ex-tend the road to just north of Hird Creek. Th e Sinixt and the PRWUA stand unit-ed against develop-
ment that impacts our rights.
We look forward to the continued sup-port at the fundrais-ing events held by Th e Sinixt Nation and Perry Ridge Wa-
ter Users. We look forward to another educational and in-formative evening. Dinner & Dessert will be by donation of suggested price of $15.00.
Th e event begins at 5:00 and Discussion following at 6:30.
Respectfully sub-mitted by Marilyn Burgoon.

Th e Sons of Nor-way club is cur-rently undergoing a membership drive throughout the West Kootenay and Koo-tenay Boundary area. Th e club is looking for interested parties, families, younger and older people with con-nections to a Scandi-navian heritage.
Th e club will be at the Waneta Mall in Trail on April 3, 4 and 5 for a membership drive.
Sons of Norway is a non-profi t interna-tional organization with the object of pre-serving and promot-ing the history and culture of Norway among the descen-dants of Norwegian heritage in the United States and Canada.
Th e organization is composed of eight districts each with a
regional offi cer; B.C. is District seven. Sons of Norway in B.C. are organized in lodges. Th e Castlegar lodge is known as Nordic Lodge ‘76 and cel-ebrated its 50th anni-versary last year.
“For practical
reasons and having much in common as neighbours in Nordic countries, Swedes, Danes, Finns, and Icelanders and their descendants and fam-ily members in Can-ada are also welcome members in our club,”
said Ole Kristiansen, vice-president of Nor-dic Lodge ‘76.
Th e club is hop-ing to attract younger members in order to keep the club going for another 50 years or more.
“Our membership
is aging with most members between 70 and 80 years-old and needs rejuvenation and new members if we are going to keep going,” said Kristians-en.
Th e club currently off ers several diff erent activities such as Nor-wegian rosemaling, chip carving, Nor-wegian folk dancing, and basic Norwegian language classes.
Th e Sons of Norway also oversee the Vi-king Nordic Ski Club, which includes 40km of prepared cross country skiing tracks and heated cabins. Th e annual Troll Lop-pet ski event, which took place on Feb. 12 at the club, continues to grow in popular-ity with over 70 West Kootenay residents taking part this year.
For more infor-mation or to join the Sons of Norway call Ole at 250-365-1017.

East Kootenay MLA Bill Bennett believes recently an-nounced structural changes will improve BC Hydro’s Fish and Wildlife Compensa-tion Program — but concedes the pro-gram’s Nelson offi ce is doomed.
“Th e jobs aren’t on the table with regard to them being hired back by BC Hydro and doing exactly the same thing,” Bennett said in an interview this week. “Th at’s not going to happen.”
Th e offi ce is expect-ed to close by the end of the month, with a loss of seven jobs, including fi ve biolo-
gists, one GIS tech-nician, and one cleri-cal position. Some people have already taken work elsewhere within BC Hydro.
Th e layoff s were an-nounced last October in response to a gov-ernment directive to cut heads rather than increase rates. Th e Prince George offi ce is also closing, while
positions in Castlegar, Cranbrook, and Rev-elstoke are aff ected as well.
Hydro will con-tinue to invest $8 million within the Columbia region on habitat restoration to fulfi ll its legal obliga-tions, but plans to rely more heavily on com-munity groups to do the work.

RegionWaneta Expansion Project reaches another milestone
CASTLEGAR, B.C. – Partners in the Wan-eta Expansion Project - Fortis Inc., Columbia Power Corporation, and Columbia Basin Trust – are pleased to announce another major milestone has been reached with the substantial comple-tion of intake and tunnel excavation.
“With the excava-tion portion of the
project complete, the Waneta Expansion remains on budget and on schedule for completion in 2015,” said Rich Coleman, Minister of Energy and Mines. “So far this clean energy proj-ect has brought $80 million in economic benefi ts and over 300 jobs to the Columbia Basin.”
Th e contractor, SNC-Lavalin Inc., has been working hard to
complete this excava-tion work so the con-crete linings in the tunnels can begin.
An Italian-made $1 million travelling tunnel form has been assembled onsite and will be key during the concrete lining pro-cess. Th e collapsible steel walls of the form create seamlessly lined tunnels which are engineered to withstand hydrostatic water pressure. Th e
concrete lining will include a high fl y ash content to maximize strength and fl ow ef-fi ciency.
“Completion of the intake and tunnel ex-cavation is another milestone for this $900 million project,” said Jane Bird, Co-lumbia Power Cor-poration President & CEO, speaking on behalf of the Waneta Expansion Project.
In total, over
62,000 cubic metres of rock was removed from the tunnels and adit. Another 78,000 cubic metres of rock and 19,000 cubic me-tres of overburden were removed from the intake. All of the excavated materials were hauled safely and without major in-cident. Th e rock will be available for reuse in future highway and other infrastructure projects in the area.
Other major con-struction activities onsite include form and concrete work in the powerhouse and service bay areas.
Th e project is fo-cused on a high stan-dard of safety, quality and environmental protection and is com-mitted to delivering
local benefi ts.Th e Waneta Ex-
pansion Project is a partnership between Fortis Inc., Columbia Power Corporation, and Columbia Basin Trust. For more in-formation please visit: www.columbiapower.org/wanetaexpan-sion.

Region
Trail council is taking a stand on protecting its hospi-tal’s regional status.
City councillor Kevin Jolly recently felt compelled to lead fellow local politicians in taking a strong position af-ter Castlegar council discussed the pos-sibility of a new re-gional hospital with Health Minister Mike de Jong when they met with him at the beginning of the month.
“We must send a clear message and speak with one voice to all those who would act to desta-bilize and disrupt the future of KBRH (Kootenay Bound-ary Regional Hos-pital) in Trail,” said
Jolly at Trail’s last council meeting. “Now is the time to show our unwaver-ing support to our citizens, who fi nan-cially support this hospital, the medical community and staff who labour in it and most importantly for the patients who rely on KBRH in their times of need.”
Beyond asking his colleagues to support the reten-tion of KBRH, Jolly requested that all capital funding for the region be dedi-cated to the refur-bishment, upgrading and support of exist-ing medical facilities to deliver the highest level of patient care.
Council, includ-ing Trail Mayor Di-eter Bogs, followed Jolly’s gesture and stood rather than
simply raising their hands to record their unanimous decision.
A letter will be sent to Interior Health, the Health Minister and MLA Katrine Conroy to further express their stance. Castlegar Mayor Lawrence Chernoff said the meeting was held in the best in-terest of the region.
“When we look at the facility presently, we know that it’s ag-ing, we know that it’s going to need re-placement,” he said. “What we were sup-porting was the idea that Interior Health take a planning pro-cess to determine the type of facility and where a new facility can be best located to provide the best benefi t to everybody in the Kootenay Boundary region.”
Trail council takes stand for keeping hospital
Staff could add to Airport budget
VALERIE ROSSIWEst Kootenay Advertiser
Trail Briefs
A test of support for the Trail Regional Airport is expected to come later this month when the regional district board begins deliberation on a re-quest for more than double its historical budget for 2012.
Th e East End Ser-vices Committee is looking for a 240 per cent increase in order to gain some full-time staff at what has large-ly been a volunteer operation, as well as complete paving for a stopway beside the runway.
Total increases within the draft 2012 Trail Regional Airport budget are projected to see a property tax increase of 140 per cent ($126,271).
Th e increase in staffi ng is based on an eight-hour day, seven days per week at a base rate of $21.53 per hour. As well, pav-ing the current gravel stopways would re-quire a $200,000 hit.
Trail keeps its pulse on new blood-
lead guidelines
A program dedi-cated to lowering blood-lead levels in Trail children has its work cut out if new standards set by the Center for Disease Control and Preven-tion has any impact on Canadian guide-lines.
Th e American or-ganization that sets public health policy and practice on ac-ceptable lead levels has increased its na-tional standards to a blood-lead level of fi ve micrograms per deci-liter of blood (mg/dl), down from 10.
Health Canada has yet to follow suit but Trail Mayor Di-eter Bogs, chair of the Trail Health and En-vironment Commit-tee, says he suspects it won’t be long.
“We do recognize the important re-search that supports the development
of new blood-lead guidelines and have begun to review the implications for Trail so that our programs can be adjusted,” he said. “We are working right now to continue to reduce blood-lead levels in children in Trail and when the new guidelines are is-sued, we expect it will simply reinforce our eff orts in that direc-tion.”
Warfi eld pulls out of merger talks
Trail and Warf-ield have put further amalgamation study action to bed aft er shelving discussions last year.
Th e city was wait-ing to hear from the village aft er Warfi eld put Phase 2 of a merg-er report on hold due to the uncertainty of industrial taxation.
Th e move wasn’t seen as attractive aft er taking a look at some of the issues Trail is dealing with, said Warfi eld councillor Donna Baggio.

Aft er a successful debate season on L.V. Rogers’ fi rst debate team in years, a young debater from Nelson has secured a position at the Canadian Ju-nior National Debate Championships.
Junior debater Tia Hutteman, Grade 9, will be competing in Montreal next month.
“We’re just proud,” said Jeff Yasinchuk, a teacher sponsor for the debate team.
“It just shows the work that these kids do. It’s like any sport, you work hard and you’re rewarded.”
Hutteman said she’s excited for the oppor-tunity to meet new
people, as well as to travel to Montreal, adding that she’s al-ready begun research-ing topics for the com-petition.
From April 25 to 30 debaters from across the country will be gearing up to give their best arguments against their peers.
Hutteman said that throughout the year she’s had the support of a local lawyer to help develop her pub-lic speaking skills.
“She researches so hard and she’s very astute, so it’s all these skills that the kids learn that they will use aft er high school is done,” said Yasin-chuk.
“When you for-get all the dates you
learned in Socials you’re still going to have reasoning skills and critical thinking skills, which I love about debate.”
Hutteman said that being is debate this year has been a great experience.
“I think debate is a really awesome op-portunity to learn how to public speak,” she said.
“We’re just happy because we see this being very good for the program,” said Yasinchuck.
“It’s our second year doing debate next year and we’re hoping for a much larger group of keen students… these are the ones that be-come leaders.”

March is Nutrition Month! Registered Dietitians take this op-portunity to focus on eating well. Th is year, our goal is to give you the facts about com-mon nutrition myths. Th ere are many myths about how to lower the amount of sodium we consume. Sodium, the main component of salt, helps our bod-ies balance fl uid and blood pressure, but many of us consume
too much of it.MYTH #1 - Only
people who have high blood pressure need to cut down on so-dium.
Cutting down on sodium reduces the risk of develop-ing high blood pres-sure. Too much so-dium can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and
kidney disease. Re-ducing sodium can also improve bone health. Most Canadi-ans consume 3400 mg of sodium daily, but our bodies only need 1500 mg. Th at is over double what we need!
MYTH #2 - If you don’t use a salt shak-er, you won’t eat too much salt.
For the aver-age Canadian, 75 per cent of the sodium we eat comes from pro-
cessed and packaged foods, not from the shaker. Soups, deli meats, bread, cheese, bottled drinks, condi-ments, and even des-serts and sweets can contain hidden sodi-um. Always check the sodium on packaged foods before putting them in your grocery cart by reading the
nutrition label. Look for foods that con-tain less than 15 per cent DV (daily value) sodium. You can also reduce sodium by eating less processed food and cooking meals at home when-ever possible. When you do eat out, ask your server about low sodium options.
MYTH #3 - Sea salt
is lower in sodium than table salt.
All types of salt (sea salt, kosher salt, and
table salt) have about the same amount of sodium. Try adding fl avour to food with salt-free spices, herbs, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, and onion in-stead of salt.
MYTH #4 – Th ere’s no such thing as “too much sodium” for kids.
Kids only need 1000-1500 mg of so-dium per day. Most Canadian children consume more than this and in the long term it can lead to health problems like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and high blood pressure. Snack foods that are popular with kids, like crackers, chips, instant noodles, beef jerky, and packaged lunch kits, oft en con-tain a lot of sodium. Instead, choose low sodium fun snacks like fruit and veggie sticks, salt-free pea-
nut butter with low sodium crackers, un-sweetened applesauce or yogurt cups, or un-salted trail mix. Try making sandwiches with left over home-cooked meat instead of deli meat.

What’s new with what’s old?
Part of a series on items of local interest selling on eBay.
A postcard of an old wooden bridge in Salmo sold for $102.50 Cdn last week.
Th e rare image shows the then-new-ly-completed wooden bridge — some 2,444 feet long, according to the hand-written caption — crossing a slough, surrounded by stumps, and a small building that appears to be of stone.
Locals say this bridge was on what’s now Airport Road and started around where the Legion is today. Th e building might have been to store dynamite.
Th e photographer’s name is stamped on the back: “W.G. Bar-clay, Photographer, Nelson, B.C.”
William Barclay’s cards are highly prized by collectors for their rarity and unusual views. Ac-cording to David Mat-tison’s Camera Work-ers website, Barclay moved around quite a bit between BC and Alberta.
He was active around Michel from 1903-07, Iowalta, Al-berta 1907-08, Nel-son 1910-11 (during which time the Salmo card was presumably produced), Sparwood 1913-16, Exshaw, Al-berta ca. 1921, and Fruitvale from 1921 until his death in 1938.
A forest fi re the fol-lowing year burned down his house, along with all of his photos.
Th e auction drew eight bids, including six over $70. Th e sell-er was in Victoria.
Among other note-worthy postcards that have sold in recent weeks:
• A nice card of the Christina Lake Inn from the 1940s sold for $23.38 US.
According to Lin-coln Sandner’s Chris-
tina Lake: An Illus-trated History, Victor Biner built this hotel on LaValley Point in the spring of 1932 but sold it to Romey Kingsley that fall.
It stood for 40 years before burning down on September 13, 1972.
Th e fi nal owner was a J. Neal, who only purchased it three months earlier from Terry Salowich. An adjoining dance pavilion at the build-ing’s rear was saved. But what happened
to it? Th is column would like to know.
Th e postcard’s seller was in Coeur d’Alene. Th e buyer was in Nelson.
• Although it was in poor condition, a ca. 1930s postcard of the Allan Hotel and P. Burns meat market in Rossland sold for $33 U.S.
Th e hotel, which stood where Subway is now, consisted of two buildings: the original four-storied wooden section, and a three-storey brick
addition. Both dated to the mid-1890s and both burned on April 9, 1978, robbing the city of one of its most colourful landmarks.
Th e original pro-prietress, Mrs. M.E. Allan, was both re-spected as an excel-lent businesswom-an and notorious for her many marriages.
According to Jer-emy Mouat in Roar-ing Days: Rossland’s Mines and the Histo-ry of British Colum-bia, local gossip had it that she would slip
across the border to Spokane for a quick divorce when she tired of each husband — although it was also said two or three of her ex-husbands worked at the hotel.
Mouat discovered an investigation into offi cial corruption re-vealed a police mag-istrate avoided re-paying a debt to Mrs. Allan by threatening bigamy charges.
Th e seller was lo-cated in Fort Gratiot, Mich., the buyer in Nelson.

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20)The New Moon in your sign will activate your focus. You will feel the desire to take some key initiatives and perhaps make a few important investments. The biggest challenge stands to know what these are. Preparing the ground for future prospects is likely, yet the bulk of your focus will be upon planning and visualizing.
TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21)The desire and perhaps even the need to take some time out are in focus. You may feel inspired to attend to small projects and perhaps engage in some socializing, yet avoiding big projects and events will prove appealing. Sharing dreams and quieter time with friends will prove most satisfying. Yet, your ambitions will be brewing all the while.
GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUN 21)Some activation in the friendship department is likely to produce some festive occasions. With a new season underway someone has to stir things-up. Yet, you are also in the mood to play it safe. Gatherings with family and close friends could be the ticket. That could be the ideal opportunity to get an early start on spring cleaning. Now, who to enlist to help…?
CANCER (JUN 21 – JUL 22)The time has come to be more assertive. This may take others and even you by surprise. Feeling confident about your ideas and choices may not be so easy yet you will feel moved to try. Family and or friend time will prove extra important. Yet, you will have to take the lead.
LEO (JUL 22 – AUG 23)You have entered a complicated period that could leave you feeling a little lost. There will be some adventure, however, which will keep things interesting. If you have plans to make, do it now unless they can wait until mid April. Do gather whatever tools and techniques you feel you need even if investment in required. Above all, go easy on yourself.
VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 22)The time has come to do some extra investigative work. Taxes, debts, investments, inheritances and/or litigation are all likely categories. Spiritual, philosophical or other scholarly studies could also prove extra appealing. What constitutes fairness, justice and balance in general will prompt your focus into the deeper reaches.
LIBRA (SEP 22 – OCT 22)Something new is being activated in your relationships. While significant others are likely involved, the emphasis is upon the relationship you have with your own self and sense of individuality. This is prompting you to dig beneath the surface. The good news is that there is gold in there. The tricky part is that these riches are linked to others.
SCORPIO (OCT 22 – NOV 21)Changes in your lifestyle will be sparked by this New Moon. Some of these may come about as if suddenly. You may still not feel as though you are standing on solid ground and may not for a while yet, so remain patient and flexible. Positively, definite signs of improvement and increase in your relationships give reason to be grateful.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 21 – DEC 21)The time has come to take some creative leads. Many ideas are running through your mind, but taking action is another issue. The time is right to at least take some preliminary measures. Knowing what you want is a good first step. By the time of the Full Moon anyway you will ideally have taking key risks and measures to initiate a plan of action.
CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 19)Some shifting and shaking can be expected close to home over the next few weeks. No body will have to ask or tell you since you will act independently. If you feel blocked, family members will likely hear about it. Yet it is probably your own subconscious fears that are in the way. The key is to give yourself permission to do what you feel you want and must.
AQUARIUS (JAN 19 – FEB 19)Many new thoughts and perceptions will be activated by this lunar cycle. Making efforts to be understanding of and understood by significant others could pose some challenges. Seeing through and beyond surface realities will bring rewards. Things are not always what they seem and if you have any doubts, take your time to probe for answers that have a future.
PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20)This New Moon will spark you into action. It may feel like you have been climbing a slippery slope lately. A general distrust or lack faith in others or concerns about their impressions about you may be holding you back. These are likely unfounded and a good way to find out is to be more direct in your communications. Get clear on what you want and act upon it now!
TIP OF THE WEEK: The first New Moon of Spring occurs on
March 23 and hosts a close alignment with the Sun, Moon, Mercury Retrograde
and Uranus all in Aries. Generally this will spark ambitions, controversy, critical and revolutionary attitudes. When the actual Equinox occurred this year (March 19) the Moon was waning and in Pisces
and this will have that effect on the entire season. Implied is an emerging idealism balanced by an urge to clear the way in preparation for the new. A rebellious mood will provoke the emergence of new leaders and stir the claims and assertions of activists. Yet the general
consensus will be to assume a patient, if nervous, and even philosophical perspective. Like an eerie stillness before a storm, the tone will be rather quiet initially, yet the air will grow thicker and the winds will begin to blow, figuratively and perhaps literally speaking, as solstice approaches. If any faction
is to strike to any really remarkable extent it is most likely that it will by Mother Nature herself. The Solar Eclipse New Moon cycle which begins in late May will prove especially significant in this regard. Stay tuned, 2012 will deliver its first big payload in late spring and especially by early summer.

GRAND FORKS…
THE CITY OF GRAND FORKS
IS ASKING EVERYONE TO PARTICIPATE IN EARTH HOUR THIS YEAR BY TURNING OUT THE LIGHTS AND
UNPLUGGING NON-ESSENTIAL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES FOR ONE HOUR
ON MARCH 31ST, 2012 FROM 8:30 PM TO 9:30 PM.
FortisBC is hosting an Earth Hour Challenge which commences on March 5th. The residents of Grand Forks and area are
encouraged to visit their website at www.fortisbc.com/earthhour and pledge to switch off during Earth Hour. Everyone who
pledges will be entered to WIN a weekend at the Manteo Resort in Kelowna!
ALSO…………
If residents of the Grand Forks area register the most pledges (number of people in a community to take the pledge compared with their 2006 census population), the Sunshine Valley Child Care Society will WIN an energy upgrade valued up to $5000.
Please show your support to this important community organization by submitting your pledge today!
What is the city doing for Earth Hour?
• The street lights on Market Avenue and light-ing on the Trails System will be shut down from 8:30pm to 9:30pm in recognition of Earth Hour
• City Hall non-essential outside lights will remain off for the weekend
Scrap Metal Clean Up Day
Sponsored by the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary
To celebrate Earth Day 2012, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary is organizing a scrap metal clean up day for residents of Grand Forks and electoral areas D & C. Columbia Recycling will come to your home during the week of April 22nd and load up and remove any large metal objects including fridges and appliances.
If you have any questions or would like to arrange for pickup, contact Brad at 1.877.777.8354 or contact the RDKB at 1.800.355.7352.
Rural Open Fire – Backyard BurningAn open fire or backyard burn is:• Waste materials in one pile not exceeding 2m in height and 3m
in width.• Burns material concurrently in 2 piles each not exceeding 2m in
height and 3m in width.• Burns stubble or grass over an area that does not exceed 0.2ha.• Open burning exceeding these dimensions must obtain a per-
mit at 250-365-4040.
A person may light an open fire within 1km of forest or grass land when:• The person is not prohibited to do so under another enactment.• It is safe, and is likely to continue to be safe to do so.• The person establishes a fuel break around the burn area.
While the fire is burning and there is a risk of the fire escap-ing, the person ensures that:• The fuel break is maintained.• A fire suppression system is available at the burn area, of a type and with a capacity adequate for fire control if the fire escapes.• The fire is watched and patrolled by a person to prevent escape and the person is equipped with sufficient fire fighting tools.• The fire does not exceed the capacity of the persons and fire fighting tools on site to take timely action to prevent any fire from escaping.• Before leaving the burn area, the person ensures that the fire is extinguished.
Grand Forks Fire/Rescue appreciates your co-operation.
Kitchen Waste Program Update from the RDKB
The city is working with the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary to provide a service to help residents reduce the amount of organic mate-rial buried at the landfill. We know that 40% of the garbage collected at the curb is compostable material. Further, when food scraps are buried in the landfill, they decompose anaerobically and off-gas methane.
In January, a food scraps curbside collection pro-gram was introduced as a pilot project in the Val-mar Subdivision. Residents have been provided with a kitchen bucket for their food scraps. They empty this bucket into a green bin which is collected each week. As well, garbage collection has been changed to every other week.
Preliminary data shows that the amount of garbage collected at the curb has been nearly cut in half. After only two months, three-quarters of the residents actively participant in the green bin program each week.
Council is now considering expanding the food scraps recycling program to all residents in the City. Contact the RDKB for more information on the green bin program. 1.800.355.7352

The City of Grand Forks Water Department advises residents that watermain flushing will com-mence beginning the third (3) week of March, 2012 and con-tinue throughout the city until the second (2) week of May, 2012. Flushing water mains is carried out as part of an annual scheduled preventative maintenance program to remove sediment that gradually deposits in the pipes and to help maintain water quality in the water distribution system. The benefits include maintaining and potentially improving the water quality level in the mains. This method will also reduce bacteriological growth, restore disin-fection residuals, improve color, control corrosion and can help restore flow and pressures in the distribution system
Flushing will occur between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. As your area is flushed, you may experience a temporary reduction in water pressure and/or discoloration of the water. These conditions are normal during flushing activities and are only temporary. Please check your drinking, cooking, and laundry water before using. To clear your water lines, simply turn on your cold water tap or outside hose bib and let it run until the water is clear – approximately 15 minutes.
The City of Grand Forks apologizes for any inconvenience during the flushing program. If you have any questions or if you experience any persistent water quality problems as a result of this maintenance program, please call City Hall, at 250.442.8266 Calls after 3:30 pm or on weekends should be made to the Water Department emergency line, at 250.442.3355.
Monday, March 26th, 2012 – 6:00 p.m. at Council ChambersAll community members are welcome to attend.
If I fl ush this down the toilet no one will ever know, right? Wrong! Actually non-biodegradable materials fl ushed into the City’s sewer are known by City of Grand Fork’s Wastewater Collection and Treatment Plant Operators every day. City staff must remove non-biodegradable materials and dispose of them properly.
Our Wastewater Treatment Plant operations and maintenance is greatly affected by the presence of non-biodegradable materials. As this is a biological system and plastics, latex or heavier fi ber are not affected by these biological actions, these materials must be removed and disposed of properly. This removal occurs at a much greater cost to taxpayers than if correctly disposed of originally. Problems can occur in your own sewer or later in the City’s sanitary sewer system, including the City main sewer lines and Lift Station pumps. Sewer blockages are unpleasant and costly to property owners and a drain (pun intended) on City resources.
Hundreds of pounds of non-biodegradable materials are pulled from the City’s sewer system each year. Please make the right choice and only fl ush what you should. You should NOT fl ush feminine hygiene products and their applicators, q-tips, drink straws, make-up pads, condoms, cloth materials, plastic bags, teeth whitening strips, hair (human or pet), small toys and any other non-biodegradable items. The right choice of disposing into the wastebasket rather than in the Wastewater Collection System will make a great difference in our environment and save our tax dollars. ~ A message from the City Wastewater Collection and Treatment Plant Operators.
