On April 14, 2014, crews from B.C.’s Wildfire Management Branch conducted a low-intensity, pre-scribed burn in the Bare Mountain area (Lat/Long 49 10.790 x 115 15.750). The site is very close to Englishman’s Creek Provincial Recreation Site and the Sweetwater Lake Village at Koocanusa Reservoir.

Burn boss Andre Chalabi said he was pleased with the day’s outcome. “Safety is our top priority when doing these burns,” Chalabi said, “and this was a safe, low-intensity event—exactly how we planned it.

“The ignition crew did

a great job of lighting up and the containment crew made sure the burn stayed in ‘the box’ at all times.”

The 231-hectare site had been logged in 2006 and thinned by Galloway Lumber Company, (Job Opportunity Program crews) in 2008. The prior treatment made the burn easier to initiate in the extremely narrow spring ‘burn window’—when temperature, humidity and wind conspired to create safe and effective conditions.

Trench ER Team Leader Randall Harris said: “The burn seems to have hit our resource objectives—it carried better than we expect-ed.”

Harris will return to the site in about six weeks to observe and measure the burn treat-ment results. The area is grazing habitat for Rocky Mountain elk and both types of deer (white-tailed and mule), and is also part of a local ranch’s grazing unit for its cattle.

The resource objec-tives of the controlled burn were to:

• Reduce fuels less than 5 cm in diameter by 80%

• Kill 80% of ingrown trees less than 3 metres tall

• Maintain seedbank and nutrients by creating a moderate impact fire over 75% of the burn area

• Rejuvenate grasses and avoid killing grass growing points

• Lift live tree canopy to 1.5 metres

• Cover 75% of the burn area.

The Trench ER pro-gram, working with the Wildfire Management Branch, will conduct a handful of prescribed burns in the coming weeks, as long as weath-er allows.

Every effort is made to ensure smoke levels are tolerable, burns are safe and the treatment is effective.

For more informa-tion on these prescribed burns, please visit trench-er.com/news/entry/prescribed_burns_scheduled_in_the_east_kootenay/.

“Think Globally, Act Locally.” The actual quote has been attrib-uted to a number of different people but the principle is said to have been put forward ini-tially by a Scots Plan-ner, Patrick Geddes, as far back as 1915. What-ever its origins, it is be-coming more widely accepted that effective action, even on global issues, begins at the lo-cal level.

Not only is this a mat-ter of individual choice and responsibility but also an issue for local governments. As se-nior levels of govern-ment download or back away from responsi-bilities for affordable housing, health and social services, and the environment, local governments are in-creasingly called upon to address these needs. At the same time, mu-nicipalities across the country face infrastruc-ture deficits and rising costs for core services. Property taxation is one of the few options available for local gov-ernments to raise funds yet municipal councils must attempt to keep taxes within affordable levels.

Daunting? Yes, but also a challenge - es-pecially when con-sidered in the context of outside influences. Climate change may be a subject for debate but, using water as an example, there can be little doubt that a trend towards warming tem-peratures and an ear-lier spring runoff is al-ready having an impact on our own ability to meet the peak summer demands. Upcoming councils will have to consider strategies to address this issue by way of increased stor-age capacity, water me-

tering, or other means to reduce consumption. The solution will likely be costly and economic factors outside our im-mediate control will influence our ability to pay for these and other improvements neces-sary to meet the city’s needs. Taking steps to ensure that services are provided to support a vibrant and healthy community is an ongo-ing task that requires creativity and an abil-ity to collaborate with other city organizations as well as senior levels of government.

All of these issues at some point become topics for council dis-cussion and debate. Despite the direct role of local government in many areas of our daily lives, voter turn-out is abysmally low, averaging about 32% across the province. By comparison, the voter turnout for federal and provincial elections is nearly double. Many reasons are given in-cluding cynicism about politicians generally, apathy, voter alien-ation, and the difficulty in getting informa-tion to make informed choices. Another factor is simply the number of candidates on a mu-nicipal ballot. Federal and provincial ridings are represented by a single candidate while municipal governments have positions for sev-eral councillors as well as a mayor. Disturb-ingly, voter registration is lowest among the 18 – 24 age group.

Regardless of voter turnout, municipali-ties must continue to function. The question for individual electors is whether or not you wish to take part in the decisions that af-fect you and your com-

munity. Information on City of Cranbrook functions is provided together with contact information, council minutes and agendas on the city website: www.cranbrook.ca. Council meetings are open and later televised. As we approach the fall elec-tion, there will also be one or more forums to provide an opportunity to hear and question potential candidates.

For those who choose to put their names for-ward and stand for of-fice, it is worth noting that local government is non-partisan. Each councillor is respon-sible and accountable to electors for his or her own position when voting on city matters. Serving on council in-volves a considerable commitment of time with limited financial remuneration but for someone interested in taking an active role to ensure that our city is the best it can be, there are less tangible rewards.

Ultimately, the choice to have a say is yours.

Wondering how the pink t-shirt sales did for anti-bully day? With the help of a few local businesses sell-ing the shirts (Max’s Place, Core Fitness, Cranbrook Dodge, and Bridge Interiors) and Mount Baker work experience students helping out, we managed to raise $1800 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cranbrook! Nathan at Slumber Fight helped out with the design and Mount Baker and Laurie were also selling shirts.

New Trainer at Core Fitness:

Sattva Training, the personal training business I started in 2011 is now operating from Core Fitness. This is really exciting because thanks to this new partnership I will be able to train people in the perfect environment with access to a whole array of equipment: ca-ble machines, barbells, dumb-bells, stability balls, Bosu

balls, state of the art cardio equipment etc.Additionally, I recently received my CHEK Prac-

titioner Level 2 Certification from the CHEK Insti-tute in California, and cannot wait to share all the new training techniques I was introduced to with everyone. The CHEK Institute has been created by Paul Chek, an internationally renowned expert in the field of corrective and high performance ex-ercise kinesiology, and it offers different levels of certification for personal trainers. Currently I have completed 3 certifications with them:

CHEK Exercises Coach, where I learned how to assess posture and create programs aimed at re-storing balance on different levels, be it through workouts or lifestyle changes such as improving nutrition and hydration, balancing sleep and wake cycles, decreasing the risk of exposure to fungus and parasites, or decreasing stress levels.

CHEK Practitioner Level 1, where I was taught to measure muscle length/tension, looking at whether muscles were too tight or too loose, and incorporat-ing that in training programs by strengthening weak muscles and stretching tight muscles.

CHEK Practitioner Level 2, my latest certifica-tion, where I was introduced to common lumbar spine dysfunctions and how to prescribe stretches and exercises that are safe and effective for clients that are cleared to exercise with such a condition.

If you are interested in knowing more about my training packages and workouts, feel free to contact me at 250-464-4046 or e-mail me at [email protected]

Serratiopeptidase Complex

Live with Less Pain

Arthritis and joint pain can dramatically lower a per-son’s quality of life. With our active and aging popula-tion, joint pain will become an increasingly common medical complaint affecting many of our active boom-ers. There are many ways you can reduce your pain naturally, avoiding having to use pain reducing drugs that can affect your digestive system and liver. Even more importantly, while NSAID pain relievers take pain away very effectively, they also accelerate the rate of joint degeneration. People who use NSAID’s report lower levels of pain and have joint disease that gets worse faster than those who don’t use NSAID’s, a significant side effect that makes NSAID’s less appealing.

The most commonly used pain reducing medicine used in Germany reduces pain without side effects. It is a blend of natural medicines that have anti-inflammatory and pain reducing proper-ties. The most commonly used blend combines serra-tiopeptidase, bromelain, cur-cumin, papain and a blend of plant enzymes. These natural agents work in a number of ways.

They help to digest what are called circulating immune complexes that trigger inflammatory reactions and elevate pain. These natural agents also help to modulate hormones called prostaglan-dins. Some prostaglandins promote pain and inflamma-tion while others reduce pain and inflammation. Fish oils also help to promote prosta-glandins that reduce pain.

Curcumin, an ingredient found in the herb tumeric, is the most widely studied natu-ral medicine on the planet. It has been found to pro-mote healing, reduce pain, lower the incidence of cancer among many other benefits that come without the risk of side effects.

Another area that must be addressed is the identification of food sensitivity or allergy. If you are eating foods that aggravate your body you will have more joint pain. While each person has a unique blend of food sensitivity I have found that wheat is one of the most important foods to eliminate for healthy joint function.

Changing your diet, add-ing in some health natural medicines and staying active are key to reducing your joint pain.

When American sena-tor Gaylord Nelson put

together a grassroots action campaign to raise awareness about environmental issues, he hardly realized what an impact he would have. Forty-four years after the fi rst Earth Day was celebrated in the United States, on April 22, 1970, this special event is now celebrated around the world.

Earth Day gives us all an opportunity to learn more about the challenges we face regarding the envi-ronment. Climate change, pollution, reduced biodi-versity, and other threats are gaining ground and this is defi nitely not the time to ignore them. But adopting a defeatist atti-tude won’t help either — quite the contrary! This is the time to roll up our sleeves, as we all have a role to play in improv-ing the health of our planet.

What can you do? Many of your actions have a direct impact on the well-being of the earth. At home, at work, or at school, you can reuse, recycle, and compost in order to pro-duce as little garbage as possible. Leave your car at home whenever possible and walk, bike, and use public trans-portation. Think about using less water; just the fact of turning off the tap while you’re brush-ing your teeth will save the need to process and clean thousands of litres of drinking water!

Above all, talk to any-one who will listen about the importance of contrib-uting to the health of our environment. On April 22, more than a billion people spread across 192 countries will hear the call of our planet and make concrete gestures towards its survival. Will you join us?

Lotic Environmental is locally owned and operated by Mike and Corinna Robinson. By bringing together staff with expertise in biology, ecology and hydrology, we are offer specialized services in aquatic ecosystems to address challenging environmental issues.

Our entire team recognizes our good fortune to live in the beautiful East Kootenay. We strive to give back to the community through sponsorships, volunteer support and donating the time of our professionals to serve on numerous committees and planning groups. We are proud to be part of the diverse community, ensuring a sustainable environment for generations to come.

Celebrate Earth Week with Wildsight at an evening featuring Ed-ward Burtynsky’s film Watermark and a Ktu-naxa speaker on water. Following the success of Manufactured Land-scapes, Edward Bur-tynsky is back with this beautiful new project, a three-year exploration

of our relationship with water around the world.

Before the film, a speaker from the Ktu-naxa Nation will share Ktunaxa history and culture through a water lens. Come learn about the historic Columbia River salmon run and gain an understanding of the Ktunaxa spiritual connection to water.

Wildsight and the Ca-

nadian Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fisheries Commission present the evening on April 24, 7:30 p.m. at Key City Theatre in Cranbrook and on April 25, 7 p.m. at Centre 64 in Kimber-ley. Tickets for the eve-ning are available in ad-vance for $10 online at wildsight.ca/watermark or for $13 at the door.

Watermark is a feature documentary film that brings together diverse stories from around the globe about our relation-ship with water: how we are drawn to it, what we learn from it, how we use it and the con-sequences of that use. We see massive float-ing abalone farms off China’s Fujian coast and the construction site of the biggest arch dam in the world – the Xiluodu, six times the size of the Hoover. We visit the bar-ren desert delta where the mighty Colorado River no longer reaches

the ocean, and the water-intensive leather tanner-ies of Dhaka.

We witness how hu-mans are drawn to wa-ter, from the U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach to the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, where thirty million peo-ple gather for a sacred bath in the Ganges at the same time. We speak with scientists who drill ice cores two kilometers deep into the Greenland Ice Sheet, and roam the sublime pristine water-sheds of Northern Brit-ish Columbia.

Every living thing requires water. We hu-mans interact with it in a myriad of ways, numer-ous times a day. But how often do we consider the complexity of that in-teraction? And, unless confronted by scarcity, when do we meditate on its ubiquity in creating, sustaining and enriching life?

Shot in stunning 5K ul-

tra high-definition video and full of soaring aerial perspectives, this film shows water as a ter-raforming element and the scale of its reach, as well as the magnitude of our need and use. This is balanced by forays into the particular: a haunt-ing memory of a sto-len river, a mysterious figure roaming ancient rice terraces, the crucial data hidden in a million year old piece of ice, a pilgrim’s private ritual among thousands of oth-ers at the water’s edge.

Watermark is directed by multiple award-win-ning filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal and renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky, and is the third part of Burtynsky’s Water project, which includes a book Burtyn-sky: Water and a major photographic exhibition. Filmed and produced by Nicholas de Pencier and three years in the making, it is a logical

extension of the trio’s previous collaboration, Manufactured Land-scapes. In Watermark, the viewer is immersed

in a world defined by a magnificent force of na-ture that we all too often take for granted - until it’s gone.

• jam jars• salsa jars

• olive oil jars• beverage bottles

Dishes, picture frames, trinkets, ceramics, light bulbs, window glass, etc. should NEVER go in the glass recycling bin. They contaminate the load.

All lids should be removed prior to the glass being placed in the bin.

Recycling Your Old Electronics

You can use ANY yellow bin in the East Kootenay. Here are some quick tips to remember when recycling:

• All plastics MUST be clean and have a number between 1 and 6. That number must be in the triangular recycling symbol. If there is no number, it should go in the garbage if it can’t be reused.

• All plastic grocery/shopping bags can be recycled -- even if they don’t have a number on them. This is the only item that can be recycled if it doesn’t have a number. All other plastics must be numbered

• Styrofoam CANNOT be recycled -- even if it is marked with a number 6.• Tin cans should be well rinsed with labels removed, if possible.• Cardboard should be flattened to save bin space.• All paper products can go in the yellow bins (and Fernie’s blue bag program) -- including

hard and soft cover books. Foil covered or waxy papers (like milk cartons or foil greeting cards) cannot be recycled. Milk cartons can be taken to the Bottle Depot for recycling.

by Olivia MurdochCranbrook 4H Multi

Club

This March, I went to my Great Grandpa’s 100th birthday party. Lots of people didn’t believe that I could have a Grandpa that was 100 years old. Even my brothers and sis-ters found it hard to believe we could have a Grandpa that was so old! My Mom said Grandpa has lived to be 100 years old because he has taken care of himself, worked hard and has done good things in his life. This year BC 4H is 100 years old and like my Great Grandpa, you don’t get to 100 if you don’t take care of things, work hard and do good.

I have learned lots of good things in 4H like public speaking, run-ning a meeting, helping my community and rais-ing animals. But just because BC 4H is 100 years old does not mean it is outdated. Today, lots of people are talk-ing about how impor-tant it is to know where their food comes from. I have heard words like sustainability, food security and the local food movement. I didn’t understand what

these words meant at fi rst, but now I realize I am contributing to these ideas from the things I am learning and doing in 4H. Who said being 100 isn’t cool?

4H members in our area contribute to the local food market by raising animals for sale as 4H projects. This year I am raising a mar-ket swine. Like all the 4H kids that raise mar-ket animals, I am learn-ing about good husband-ry (care and feeding of animals), showmanship, business skills, record keeping and the live-stock industry. All 4H members sign the Creed of the 4H Stock Keeper which is a promise to raise your animal with respect and kindness.

June 1st, 2014 is the Cranbrook & District 4H Show & Sale at the Wycliffe Exhibition Grounds. 4H members participate in a show-manship event, are judged in a market class which is followed by the auction sale of all of the market animals. This year we have 28 steers, 13 lamb and 16 swine up for sale. I think Show & Sale is one of the scariest but also one of the most fun days. You get to show off your animal and all your hard work and spend time cheering on your 4H friends. I would like to invite the community to come to our Show & Sale. It is a great day to buy locally raised meat or just to come and watch the 4H mem-bers demonstrating their showmanship skills.

We will be hosting an information meeting for the public on Thursday, May 8, 2014 at 7 p.m. at Parkland School. The presentation will talk about how the auction works including proxy bids, cost comparisons, transportation of ani-mals, butchering and any additional ques-tions people have. 4H members with market animal projects will also be available to talk to. So, come and meet your farmer. Let 100 years of tradition feed you. Contact us at [email protected] for more information.

Kimberley is about to get its own weekday Farmer’s MarketSubmitted

This summer, Wildsight will bring a true farmers’ market to downtown Kimberley. Shoppers will fi nd local vegetables, fruit, meat, eggs, bread, and honey, plus hot food, fresh baking, and crafts from local artisans.

“It’s all about make

it, grow it, or bake it at the farmers’ market,” said Erna Jensen-Shill, market manager, “so you can be certain that everything you buy at the market is locally made, baked, or grown.”

On Thursday nights from 5 to 7:30 p.m., the farmers’ market vendors will be load-ing up their tables with

local food and crafts along Howard Street in downtown Kimberley, between Deer Park and Boundary. For 2014, the market will run for the peak of the local harvest season, from July 3rd to Sept 11th.

“After the great suc-cess of the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market over the past 5 years,” said

Jensen-Shill, who is also the Cranbrook mar-ket manager, “we knew the time was ripe for our very own market in Kimberley - and by offering a mid-week market, we can attract vendors who are already committed on the week-ends.”

Shoppers will find everything from fresh salad greens to local lamb and pork, includ-ing farm fresh eggs,

local honey, garlic, veggies, fruit, and ber-ries. There will be pre-serves, bread, baked goods, including gluten-free options, plus fresh roasted coffee and tea. Local artisans will show off their crafts, includ-ing wood and metal works, candles, soap, jewellery, and more. Of course, there will be vendors selling hot food

as well, so Kimberlites can enjoy dinner at the market while doing their shopping.

Over the past few years, Wildsight has grown their focus on food sustainability and in particular on helping locals grow, buy, and eat more local food. Their

The success of the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market has prompted a similar market for Kimberley.

Each year local K – 12 teaching staff from across the East Kootenay collabo-rate on professional development during a Regional Specialists Association (RSA) Day. This year’s RSA day took place last week and highlighted renowned keynote speaker, Dr. Martin Brokenleg.

Brokenleg is co-author of the internation-ally best selling book, Reclaiming Youth at Risk and co-founder of the Circle of Courage, an approach to youth guidance that draws on Native tribal wisdom in conjunction with early youth-work pioneer and youth develop-ment work. It outlines

the four essential ele-ments every child needs in order to flourish and thrive as belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity.

“As a District we understand this connection”, said Trustee Trina Ayling, Trustee representa-tive for the Aboriginal E n h a n c e m e n t Agreement (AEA). “It’s important for all kids, yes, but especially for those students of Aboriginal ancestry as it speaks directly to who they are culturally.”

According to Jason Tichauer, the new Director of Student Learning and Aboriginal Education this approach pays off with higher-than-provincial-average graduation rates for both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal stu-dents. “Provincially, grad rates averaged 62% for Aboriginal and 80% for non-Aboriginal students over the past five years while SD5 averaged 73% and 83% respectively. There are a number of factors responsible for this suc-cess and addressing the whole child based on Aboriginal principals is

one of them.”Currently, fourteen

percent of SD5 stu-dents are of Aboriginal ancestry. The province provides annual tar-geted funding to sup-port Aboriginal learn-ing. These supports include Aboriginal Education Support Workers (AESW), an Elder’s program and the Welcoming Spaces

Project, an initiative to increase awareness of Aboriginal culture throughout SD5.

aim is to give locals food options that reduce the environmental costs of large scale agriculture and long-distance food transport.

“We really wanted to give local farmers and growers an outlet to sell locally,” said Jess Windle, Wildsight’s Food Sustainability coordinator, “and to help support new farm-ing and food production businesses in the area. Of course, locals get fresher, healthier, and tastier food with local production too.”

Wildsight has a great lineup of local food producers and artisans ready for the summer market. If you grow or produce local food or make crafts, the Kimberley Farmers’ Market is a great way

to connect with local shoppers. Vendors can learn more about selling at the market at kimber-leyfarmersmarket.ca or by calling market man-ager Erna Jensen-Shill at 250 427 2535, extension 224.

“There is plenty of work to do in setting up for the market every week and keeping things running smoothly,” said Jensen-Shill, “so if you want to volunteer to help out, please get in touch.”

“We have some special plans in the works for the first market on July 3rd,” said Jensen-Shill, “so get your reusable shopping bags ready and mark your calendars for a fun evening.”

RIDING ON

2 WHEELS!DrivewayCanada.ca On April 4th, 2014,

the Key City Theatre Society (KCTS) made a presentation to the Re-gional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) to request their support on the combined Mount Baker School replace-ment and new regional

theatre project.Since 2008, the SD5

Board of Education has been working on replacement of Mount Baker Secondary School (MBSS) as a Neigh-bourhood Learning Centre (NLC), an initia-tive designed to bring

educational services and community resources together in a new high school building.

According to Mount Baker Replacement Committee chair, Trustee Chris Johns, the process began with extensive public con-sultations with the com-munity* that led to the determination that Key City Theatre should be a main community com-ponent within a replace-

ment MBSS/NLC.On December 20, 2012

SD5, the KCTS and the City of Cranbrook reaf-firmed their relationship with a signed partner-ship agreement in the design of theatre space in the new MBSS. In February, the trio ex-tended an invitation to MP David Wilks and RDEK Board Chair, Rob Gay to discuss the possibility of expand-ing their partnership to

better reflect the cultural diversity and geographi-cal reach of the Key City Theatre and its patrons.

“The Theatre is dedi-cated to expanding com-munity involvement by presenting professional artists spanning a wide spectrum of art and cul-ture”, says Sandra Cave, chair of the KCTS. “As a result of these efforts, over one-third of patrons are from somewhere else in the region.”

“This is much bigger than just Cranbrook”, agreed SD5 Board Chair, Frank Lento. “Funda-mental to the success of this project is the ability to bring together other community partners to help build the project. Both MLA, Bill Bennett and most recently MP David Wilks have ex-pressed support for this initiative. The next logi-cal step is to engage the Regional District.”

During the presenta-tion to the RDEK, Lento made three requests –that they provide let-ters of support for any applications for grants, that they set aside a Re-serve Fund commencing in 2015 towards replace-ment of the Key City Theatre; and that they consider contributing to the replacement and future operations of the Key City Theatre.

In response to these requests, the RDEK car-ried a motion to provide letters of support for applications for grants and a motion to send a request to staff to report back on the feasibility of setting aside a reserve fund and/or contribute to the replacement and future operations of the theatre. Completion of the report is expected later this year.

Feel the rush of riding on two wheelsIf you have ever looked longingly upon a motorcycle as it whizzed by, you might have been bitten by the bike bug and didn’t even know it.If you have always dreamed of getting on two wheels but didn’t know how to go about it, you have been bitten by the bike bug.If you are contemplating a perfect time to do it, the answer is now!With spring-like weather mani-festing itself and more and more motorcycles appearing on the roads, it’s time to stop dreaming and start doing.But where do you start? How do you go about it and what steps do you need to go through?Over the next few weeks, we will feature a four-part series on motorcycling. It will cover everything from schools, to gear to buying a bike and more. As I said, there’s no better time than now to embrace your inner motorcyclist and have the time of your life.

Take the testIn order to get your learner’s license in BC, you will need to take the ICBC Motorcycle Knowl-edge Test. To attain the handbook that you’ll need to familiarize yourself with, you can either download it from the ICBC website, or visit a branch in person to pick up a hard copy. After you have studied it from cover-to-cover, you’ll need to take and pass the test at an ICBC branch, which will then give you your L.Visit www.icbc.com and type in “motorcycle” into the search bar. That is the easiest way to get you to the pages you’ll need to work with.

After getting your “L” permitThere are two steps in acquiring your full motorcycle license. First, you’ll have to pass the Motor-cycle Skills Test portion of the process. Then you’ll have your full road test.

Riding trainingI absolutely, 100 per cent without a doubt recommend going to a professional school to learn how to ride. I’m not saying your bff who has selflessly volunteered to teach you everything you need to know about riding isn’t qualified or unfit for the task, but they might not be a “teacher.” Sure

they have the skills, but can they communicate effectively the points that you need to be safe? If yes, then go for it.But professional schools have professional teach-ers. They also know the ICBC system and will teach you above and beyond what you’ll need to execute in order to start riding on your own. And more importantly, to be safe! They will also help build your confidence and try to help you eradicate bad habits that you may or may not know you are forming. Granted, most courses aren’t cheap. But they’re worth it and so is your safety. Check out regional schools or save up to come to the Lower Main-land. I wouldn’t have done my license any other way. Some schools to check out are: Pacific Riding School, V-Twin Motorcycle School, the Justice Institute of BC, High Gear Motorcycle Training (private lessons) and more.

You don’t have to start on the roadMany of the top road racers in the world didn’t start on the pavement. They started in the dirt. Why? Because it teaches you how to control a bike in less than ideal traction environments. Also, if you fall, it doesn’t hurt as much! You can certainly get your feet wet when it comes to learning clutch and brake control on a “softer” surface, too. Furthermore, you don’t need a learner’s permit if you are riding off road. When and if you want to transition to the street riding, you’ll need it for that.Check out Popkum Motor Park’s Lessons/Training (www.popkummotorpark.com) program for all ages, as well as the BC Off Road Motorcycle Association’s website (www.bcorma.ca) for upcoming MSF Dirt Bike Schools. Another perk to starting to build your bike confidence on the dirt, training programs aren’t as expensive.So, this is me, the little white angel on your shoulder whispering, “Go on, get on two wheels!” But remember, safety is paramount. Take the test, go to school and thank me later.

By Zack Spencer

The introduction of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee showcased the direction of the new Fiat-Chrysler part-nership.

It went on to win more awards that any other SUV; in fact, I chose it as one of my favourite vehicles that year. Sales have been strong for not only Jeep but the entire Chrysler group. Fresh-ness has been into each new vehicle and this latest 2014 EcoDiesel version is another example. For this model year, the Grand Cherokee gets a refreshed front and rear, plus interior tweaks and a thrifty diesel under the hood.

LooksThe most noticeable up-

dates for 2014 include a thinner front grille, narrower front headlights with LED ac-cents. This really makes the latest model pop; especially when you compare it to the last model. The EcoDiesel op-tion is only available in two trim levels, and this an ex-pensive vehicle. The Overland is the cheapest diesel and it starts at roughly $58,000, $3000 more than a V6 model

but the same price as the V8. The top of range Summit die-sel starts at $62,000.

In comparison, the base VW Touareg diesel starts at $55,000 but most of the other German mid-sized SUVs with a diesel, like the ML from Mercedes or the X5 from BMW also start in the low $60,000 range.

InsideOne of the biggest changes

at Chrysler has been the atten-tion to detail now placed on interior design and refinement. The latest U-connect computer interface is one of the best in the business; many high-end makers could learn a thing or two from Chrysler. The large 8.4-inch screen is one of the biggest on the market and it is very quick to the touch, going from one function to the next is logical and responsive. Pairing a smartphone takes under 30 seconds and the best feature is the map screen, which enables the embedding of a picture in the same way as picture-in-picture TV does. The dash is covered in stitched leather and the cabin overall is simple and elegant. All EcoDiesel models come with leather seats and the back seats can even be heated.

DriveThe biggest change for

2014 is the introduction of an all-new 3.0-litre direct in-ject turbocharged V6 diesel engine along with an 8-speed automatic. With 420 lb.-ft. of torque, this engine just rockets away from a light and cruises effortlessly on the highway. There is a big premium to get this engine over a V6, or lower trim level V8 gasoline versions, but there are some compelling reasons to choose it. Fuel economy is number one. This heavy truck is rated at 9.8 L/100km in the city and only 7.0L on the highway. With aggressive driving and mostly city, I averaged 12L. I did no-tice on highway runs that the fuel economy improved radi-cally and quickly.

The towing capacity of the

EcoDiesel is the same as the 5.7-litre Hemi V8 at 7200 lbs, but this truck gets substan-tially better fuel economy. For those that drive a lot without a trailer, the improvement in fuel economy is something to factor in. If you don’t drive a lot each year, the diesel option might not be worth the added cost.

Verdict

Chrysler considers the Jeep Grand Cherokee a premium offering but I would not put this on a par with the Mer-cedes ML, BMW X5, Audi Q5 or a very nicely equipped VW Touareg.

It is a very nice truck with as much diesel power and ef-ficiency as the competition but the German brands have been at the whole diesel thing a lot

longer and are a known entity in the market.

The Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel would be a very easy choice if it were about

$50,000, not $58,000. If you drive a lot or tow, the diesel might be worth it, but as it stands now the already ca-pable and luxurious gasoline

versions are less expensive and come with all the regular Grand Cherokee goodness.

“The buyer smelled a bargain. He thought I was the fool!”

I guess you could say I was addicted. Only my drug of choice wasn’t coke or meth. No - it was the thrill of getting away with it all. And the easy cash, of course.Throwing the camper into that last deal was a great marketing idea.And, like last time, I decided to branch out again. There’s so much more than just cars! This time I decided to go with a motorcycle.I purchased it off the internet – I guess you could call it a curber-to-curber transaction. Oh, of course I knew every trick in the book by now. The seller gave me my old story and said that he was the real owner.Did I care? Not a chance. It was a nice Harley. And, it was a steal. I knew I could fl ip it for more.Why? Because I was a better marketer.But I needed to do it fast. And, I had to make sure I had a buyer that was naive enough not to do a lien check through carproof.com, or the province (bcregistryservices.gov.bc.ca).As usual, I put up a generic, one-line Craigslist ad. With a price like mine, I had a buyer within an hour.I made sure the Harley looked its best. I polished it until it sparkled and fi lled it with gas. Hey, what’s a few bucks?Then I ran into a small problem. I found out that my seller was the real owner. Wow. But he sold me a vehicle that was about to be repossessed.

Fortunately, he was in such a hurry that he didn’t make me do the transfer – so it was still in his name.No big deal. Bridging* was my friend.I just used his name and hoped my buyer would never ask me for ID.And I was right. The buyer smelled a bargain and took the bait like fi sh. He thought I was the fool!No lien check, no ID check. Just cash.I was home free, again.And the best part? When the bailiff came for the motorcycle, he didn’t even know my name.

*Bridging – A trick that curbers use to keep their identity secret. Curbers will pay more for a vehicle from an unscrupulous wholesaler or broker if they are not required to immediately put the vehicle in their name.

This keeps their name out of the vehicle registry and makes them impossible to locate when deals go bad. Breaking the law is never a concern for them.

Menno Dueck

by Menno DueckHeavy spring rain allowed Jeremy to continue to improve his bailing skills. Out came the buckets, mops and fans, not a new experience for Jeremy. In fact, he’s embraced the challenge and is sure he can shave off a few minutes from last year’s record. Partner Ellen dreams of a day when the basement can be used for something more than storing plastic bins of Christmas decorations and kids’ old art proj-ects.

Rain and/or a quick thaw while the ground is still frozen are ide-al weather conditions for water seepage. With the ground unable to act as a sponge, water will find its way to the lowest point. If that point is next to your house, the chance of having water seep-age increases. Prevention starts with assessing the flow of water. Take a walk around your house and yard, in the rain, to see where the water gathers.

Lack of gutter maintenance may be the issue. Do the gutters flow freely to the downpipes or are they sloped wrong, have holes, rusty areas or cracked joints where wa-ter is running or dripping next to the foundation? Are they clear of debris? Is the water that flows out of the downpipes being taken away from the house or is it pool-ing near the foundation? Annual maintenance (cleaning, caulking) is affordable prevention and if the

gutters and downpipes are not re-pairable, then replace.

Do you have gardens that butt into the house? Every time you water that garden, particularly if the sprinkler(s) hit the house, you are watering the foundation, too. Might be a good idea to incorpo-rate a gravel “path” between gar-den and house and make sure any landscape slopes away from the house on all sides.

Other conditions, such as slope of yard and cracks should be dis-cussed with your contractor. If your yard (or your neighbour’s yard) slopes toward your house, moisture (rain/thaw/sprinkler) will collect and run to your house; additional drainage around the perimeter of the house may be re-quired. If there are cracks, they will need to be sealed from the outside which could involve exca-vation.

Seepage can be expensive (dam-ages not usually covered by insur-ance), create potential health risks for your family (mold, fungus), and make your house difficult to sell (musty smell). Now is the time to get into prevention mode. Leave the bailing to Jeremy.

Home Improvementand Renovations

The secret to moving house without stress, or almost, can be summed up in one word: orga-nization. From the moment you decide to move, start making a list of everything that has to be done and stick it on the fridge door. This will help you to meet all the deadlines and get ready for the big, stressful day.

As soon As you know The dATe oF The move

• Reserve the date with a moving com-pany. Choose a well-established business, and don’t rely solely on quotes. It’s better to pay a touch more for good service.

• If you rent a truck, contact family and friends who could give you a helping hand. Be sure to call or send out an e-mail to remind them a few days before the move.

• Change your mailing address. Companies to contact with your new information: electric-ity provider; telephone; Internet; cable; insur-ance providers (take this opportunity to update your home insurance policy); financial insti-tutions; the school your children attend; gov-

ernment agencies; and lawyer.

FouR To eIghT weeks BeFoRe The move

• Pack your belong-ings. select cardboard boxes that are easy to carry. Identify each box. Photograph valu-able objects.

• Find someone to look after the chil-dren and any pets on the day of the move.

The lAsT Few dAys

• Prepare a box to put in your car. It will con-

tain any bits and pieces that will come in handy during the move. Pack it with a first-aid kit, toilet paper, tools, cleaning products, and garbage bags.

• unplug all non-essential devices or appliances and tape the electric cords to their sides (lamps, deep freezer, and home cin-ema).

sure, it’s hard to think of everything ahead of time, but good orga-nization will help you avoid the worst-case scenarios. good luck with your move!

Rigorous organization means a better move

It supports economic investment in our regionAn economically dynamic region attracts

investment. The more investment there is, the more our municipality and region earn in tax revenues. This, in turn, attracts other investors. Investors are like consumers —

they are attracted to deals that work!

It makes a difference to the environment

Buying locally made products and doing business with companies from our

region is a way to be active in protecting the environment. The less our goods

are transported from far away, the less we contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.

It helps support community organizationsOur non-profit organizations receive a lot of financial support from business people

in the region, and these donations are essential. When our local economy is in good health, our organizations are in

good health.

It means a bigger choice of products and servicesA company depends on business to thrive. When business is good, a company will expand, bringing new products and services to the region.

The healthier our businesses are, the more

tax revenue we gainThriving companies are able to grow, and as they do, their tax contributions grow.

This means revenue for our municipality and benefits for everyone.

I want to invest in my region

Buying locally is logical, unavoidable, and efficient. It is an important strategy for

keeping our region dynamic in every way. Together, if we shop local, we can help our

community grow and thrive!

It keeps more jobs close to home

We can’t keep or create jobs locally if our region isn’t in good economic shape. It’s

just good logic.
