NATURAL FACTORS NIACINSince the 1950s, Niacin (vitamin B3) has been known to lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. In fact, in numerous clinical studies Niacin has demonstrated better overall results in reducing risk factors for coronary heart disease than other cholesterol-lowering agents, including statin drugs.Many people are reluctant to use Niacin because at the dosing levels recommended to lower cholesterol, it causes a hot, itchy skin reaction known as the “Niacin flush”. Niacin has been shown to lower the levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol as well as the levels of the more harmful Lp(a) lipoprotein, triglycerides, and inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, etc.) while simultaneously raising HDL (good) cholesterol levels. Niacin reduces LDL cholesterol by restricting the liver’s production of VLDL, a precursor to LDL cholesterol, while increasing the particle size of LDL cholesterol from the smaller, more dangerous dense form, to a larger more innocuous form that is less associated with coronary artery disease. This form of Niacin is a cutting edge intermediate release FLUSH FREE Niacin which gradually releases Niacin over a 6–8 hour period and rivals prescription drugs for lowering LDL cholesterol. SISU ESTER-CSisu Ester-C is an extra-strength Vitamin C with bioflavonoids, to get you through cold and flu season, and the allergy months. Vitamin C is best known for strengthening the immune system. Studies have shown that 5000mg of Vitamin C can double the rate of key activities of white blood cells, the soldiers of the immune system. Ester-C is made from calcium ascorbate formulated through a patented process so that it neutralizes intestinal acids and can therefore be absorbed without discomfort. It also contains a form of calcium, which enhances absorption.The use of Quercetin (a bioflavonoid) in Ester-C 1000, makes this the ideal immune support for individuals who cannot tolerate citrus. Bioflavonoids are potent antioxidants found in plants and enhance the immune-supporting function of Vitamin C!Sisu Buy One, Get One Free Ester-C 1000, 120 tablets Reg.

The B.C. Court of Appeal has suspended a lower court ruling that would force B.C.’s school districts to reor-ganize around teacher contract terms that were scrapped by the govern-ment in 2002.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the latest turn in the long-running legal battle with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation allows stability for par-ents and students while

negotiations continue on class size, special needs support and other issues.

The decision provides a “stable environment” for the 60 school dis-tricts to prepare for next September under exist-ing arrangements, he said.

“We need to now get back to the table and see if we can find that sweet spot between both parties where we have a negotiated settlement,” Fassbender said.

Those negotiations, to replace an imposed

contract that expired last June, are scheduled to continue next week as BCTF members take a strike vote.

The appeal court decision, released Wednesday, allows the government to pursue its appeal of a January ruling that it argued would cause major disruption to schools, which will likely take several months.

In January, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin found for a second time that B.C. legislation imposing contract terms violated teachers’ right to collec-

Health Center

Science Based Natural

Medicine

Cancer patients in Canada, and around the world, are increasingly looking toward comple-mentary and alternative medicine (CAM) to treat their cancer. This is par-ticularly true in Germany where as many as 73% of cancer patients use a natu-ral medicine called mistle-toe. In Europe, mistletoe is packaged as a drinkable and injectable ampoule called Helixor (Viscosan in Canada). Mistletoe is a plant that grows only on other trees, producing white berries. It has no roots and survives by liv-ing off the host tree it is growing on, a similar pat-tern to cancer. It was first investigated as a potential cancer treatment for this similarity with cancer growth. Mistletoe has over 1000 active ingredients with its tumour inhibiting and immune system effects mostly coming from a protein called a lectin. It can be used as a palliative therapy where the tumor is inoperable and untreat-able to improve the quality of life and increase sur-

vival. Mistletoe is also proven as an additive therapy to be used with chemotherapy and radia-tion to help the patient tol-erate these therapies and protect the immune sys-tem. It can also be used as a prophylactic therapy on defined precancerous tumours to stimulate invo-lution of the tumour. The scientific evidence for the use of mistletoe is very strong. Five different ret-rospective studies showed that mistletoe significantly increased 5 and 10 year sur-vival rates. Mistletoe also improves the quality of life, giving patients more energy and well-being while also reducing adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiation. Two studies have found that mistletoe can reduce tumour size if the cancer is caught early. The type of mistletoe used depends on the type of cancer and health of the patient. In all cases it can be taken orally or, better yet, by subcutaneous injection. It is a safe and proven effec-tive medicine for the person seeking CAM for cancer.

tive bargaining.In his decision, Justice

David Harris agreed with submissions from district superintendents around the province.

“The evidence demon-strates that the imme-diate reinsertion of the deleted terms into the

collective agreement will probably lead to a dislocation of current planning and budgeting or the next school year, immense challenges in hiring sufficient suitably qualified staff, lay-offs of employees, change to available school pro-grams, cancelling school programs, creating more classes, moving stu-dents to other schools, disrupting programs for special needs students, the provision of addi-tional classroom space (likely through the addi-tion of portables where space permits), and the breaking of contracts with community groups who use school space for their activities as school districts reclaim the needed space to accommodate additional classes,” Harris wrote.

BCTF lawyers had argued that the 2002 rules could have been reinstated in time for the September 2014 school year. Harris said it would be unlikely the appeal of constitutional arguments would be complete by then, and if it is success-ful, the school system would have to be made over again.

The diverse and press-ing challenges faced by local governments in 2014 are shared issues that require careful contemplation and col-lective solutions. To facilitate this dialogue, the cities of Cranbrook and Kimberley are co-hosting the 5th BC Mayors’ Caucus on April 23-25, where mayors from through-out the province will come together to serve as a united voice, con-fronting issues affect-ing BC communities. The Caucus has been held twice a year since its inception in 2012, each time in a differ-ent city to showcase the unique areas of the province.

“The City of

Cranbrook is very excited to be co-host-ing the spring 2014 BC Mayors’ Caucus with our neighbours in Kimberley,” says Cranbrook Mayor, Wayne Stetski. “This collaboration mir-rors the Caucus’ goal of pursuing joint eco-nomic development between cities in our province, and we are proud to help further encourage that dia-logue.”

Cranbrook is the largest city in the East Kootenay region, with a population of almost 20,000. Functioning as the area’s busi-ness hub, Cranbrook’s economy thrives on its role as the regional ser-vice centre; its contri-butions to the forestry, agricultural, and other

resource-based sectors; and its attraction to vis-itors and tourists.

Just up the road from Cranbrook is the City of Kimberley – a for-mer mining community that has transitioned into a tourist destina-tion and resort town. Kimberley is the fast-est growing city in the East Kootenay region with a population increase of 8.4% from 2006-2011, the result of an increasing num-ber of lifestyle-driven mobile workers who recognize Kimberley as a good place to be.

“The Mayors’ Caucus is a very important event in the progres-sion of our province, and Kimberley is proud to be co-hosting this fifth session,” says Kimberley Mayor, Ron McRae. “By discuss-ing common issues fac-ing municipalities in British Columbia, we will be able to explore possible solutions and forge action plans that will strengthen our province in its entire-ty.”

The BC Mayors’ Caucus is structured after successful models across North America and Europe including the Alberta Mayors’ Caucus, the Big Cities Mayors’ Caucus (Canada), Atlantic Mayors’ Congress (Canada), Metropolitan Mayors’ Caucus (United States) and the Summit of Mayors (EU).

BC Mayors’ Caucus Steering Committee:

•Mayor Wayne Stetski of Cranbrook

•Mayor Lori Ackerman of Fort St. John

• Mayor Peter Milobar of Kamloops

•Mayor Greg Moore of Port Coquitlam

•Mayor Shari Green of Prince George

•Mayor Jack Mussallem of Prince Rupert

•Mayor John MacDonald of Sayward

•Mayor Taylor Bachrach of Smithers

•Mayor Dianne Watts of Surrey

•Mayor Dean Fortin of Victoria.

With Speak Your Mind, the Kootenay Women’s Show quickly approaching, it is im-portant that people get to know some of the strong women behind the businesses that have invested in platinum-level sponsorship of the event.

Suzanne Thompson is a physiotherapist and owner of Kootenay Therapy Center who is a Platinum Sponsor for the upcoming Speak Your Mind, the Kootenay Women’s Show.

Q: Why did you decide to move to Cranbrook?

A: I loved the out-doors, loved the moun-tains and it seemed like the environment was very similar to where I grew up in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. We looked around BC and thought the lower main-land was just too busy but Cranbrook seemed right. When I moved here, I actually didn’t have a job waiting.

Q: So you showed up in the community with-out work—that must have been difficult.

A: Our kids were four

and two and we did need jobs. I had taught fitness since I was 17 years old—that’s how I put myself through uni-versity—so when Golds Gym was opening up I worked there. I told them I could do fitness training and aerobic classes and when there was room, I could do some physiotherapy.

Q: When did you decide to strike out on your own?

A: Within a year, there was a need for more physiotherapy space, so I moved to the Colonel Baker Home and within a year I needed more

space and I moved here. (Kootenay Therapy Center at Western Financial Place).

I knew this was a great space. I made a busi-ness plan that would work. I put together the plan and went to Community Futures and it has grown from there.

Q: As a woman, did you encounter any chal-lenges or conflict in set-ting up the business?

A: I think the only conflict I would have would have been from within me. I came from a family of hard workers and I was raised to be no differ-ent. Anyone who has been my patient from the beginning can tell you I brought my kids to work and my puppy to work. A conflict would have been leav-ing my kids at home. Sometimes having kids here was challenging, but most people under-stood and I just can’t feel like I’m constant-ly leaving something behind.

Q: What empowers you?

A: There are so many things I really believe in to empower people—not just women—and I think at the end of the day, what empowers me is the phrase, “Choose to live life well.”

I really believe in choice and I never want to personally to feel like a victim and there are times that I do, but I choose not too. When I feel not quite so well, I just choose to do whatever I can do get by this. We deal with chronic pain here, but we still have choice. We may not like the choices available, but we still have them. Make good choices.

College of the Rockies is joining with six other post-secondary insti-tutions across BC to get the word out that if you’re interested in working in a rewarding career alongside great people in a close-knit community—it’s good out here.

Where exactly is “here?” The group of seven British Columbia colleges - College of the Rockies, College of New Caledonia, North Island College, Northern Lights College, Northwest Community College, Okanagan College and Selkirk College - offer work in communi-ties that include small towns with only a few thousand people, up to large cities with popula-tions of over 80,000. A few communities have fewer than 1000 perma-nent residents and are set in some of the most breathtaking locations in BC.

College of the Rockies Executive Director of Human Resources and Payroll Sheila McDonald notes, “It’s not unusual for people to move to one of the colleges’ communities for a job opportunity and quickly realize they never want to leave. Between the camarade-rie offered in the work-ing environment, the affordable real estate and the instant access to

outdoor recreation, peo-ple truly connect with others and settle in.”

Job opportunities at the Regional Colleges of BC include careers in administration, finance, health services, infor-mation technology, maintenance and senior leadership. And then there are the obvious faculty and teaching roles, which are appeal-ing because the small college settings enable employees to make strong connections with their students and really make a difference in their lives.

“Most people know that the outdoor rec-reation is spectacular everywhere you go in BC,” adds Ken Crewe, Director of Human Resources for North Island College. “But add in affordable hous-ing, vibrant communi-

ties and the chance to do work that has direct application in the com-munity you’re living in and you’ve got a situ-ation that has a lot of appeal for someone ready to leave the big city behind.”

The Regional Colleges of BC expect that once the word gets out, it won’t be difficult to entice qualified can-didates to their work-places.

“We know from our employees who have moved here from else-where that we offer great places to live and rewarding work-places, but not enough people consider one of the Regional Colleges of BC as an employer of choice, especially outside of teaching faculty and staff,” says Gary Leier, Director of Human Resources and

Community Relations for Selkirk College. “The reality is that com-pared to the big city, it really is good out here.”

The Regional Colleges of BC is a group of public post-secondary institutions spanning the regions outside of the Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia, Canada. The colleges cover 43 communities across British Columbia, from Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii out west, bordering Yukon to the north, the Rocky Mountains to the east and everything in between. The employee recruitment brand and website is the first large project this group has collaborated on.

It is easy to go out to the shopping centre and spend and spend. It is actually far easier to spend than to think about the consequenc-es.

Think about this for a moment: when you’re bored, what do you like to do? When you’ve had a bad day, where do you like to go? When you feel overwhelmed by your debts, how do you try to make yourself feel better? If you’re like any of the other of us

Canadians who are spending two-thirds of our economy on consumer goods, the answer to these ques-tions is likely “I go shopping”.

We are notoriously addicted to accumulat-ing stuff, and we are spending our hard-earned money to do it. Or, even worse, we are spending money we don’t actually have and buying on credit. That is exactly why making the choice to keep a clutter free home can put money in your bank account.

For sure, declutter-

ing is easier to talk about than to do. It means getting rid of the unnecessary things that already clog up the rooms in your house, but more importan tly, it also means commit-ting to not bring more stuff in to replace it. It means deciding that money in the bank is worth more than a quick feel-good fix from buying another electronic toy or a pair of shoes.

Cutting back on unnecessary consumer spending allows you to save for long term goals, such as tak-

ing a trip, buying a home, or perhaps even upgrading to your next home. Or, alternative-ly, decluttering might inspire you to down-size to a smaller home, thus decreasing your monthly expenses and increasing your ability to pay off consumer debt or accrue long term savings.

Taking out the clutter in your finances and reap the rewards

Are your post-holiday credit card statements keeping you awake at night? Has your gen-erosity emptied your savings account? Don’t panic! With a bit of dis-cipline it is entirely pos-sible for you to quickly rectify your financial situation.

The most important strategy for getting things back in order is to not bury your head in the sand. Face your fears, get out the calcu-lator, and take stock of your debts. Once this process is completed you should have an accurate picture of what your

expenses were over the holidays. Next, put together a recovery plan. What can you do to pay off all your debts?

Start by cutting out any unnecessary exp e-nses. Cups of take-out coffee and re staurant meals, lottery tickets, video rentals, weekend getaways in a hotel, and many other non-essential expenses can be avoided for a few weeks. Beware of impulsive shopping — avoid temptation by leaving your credit cards at home.

The best way to keep your expenses under control is to establish a budget. Calculate your

income and your fixed expenses, and then determine the monthly amount you can afford to put towards reducing your debts. If you think you’ll be unable to pay them all off before the end of this year, then you’d better make an appointment to see a financial advisor.

Feeling stressed out about debts incurred over the holidays can really weigh heavily. Make the most of the sit-uation by reviewing all your expenses, and try to stay positive. Ea sing off on spending cou ld ve ry well do your bank ac count a world of good!

Post-holiday spending blues

drivewayBC.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat drivewayBC.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

Tugging at the tails of top selling trucksIf there is one segment of the auto business that takes dynamite to get people to change brands, it’s the full-size pickup truck category,I’m sure most of us know of someone who is a “Ford guy” or “Chevy diehard” owner, and getting him or her to move to a new truck would be almost impossible. It wasn’t until the last Toyota Tundra was introduced in 2007 that Toyota was a real con-tender. That 2007 Tundra and this refreshed 2014 model are designed, en-gineered and even built in America, helping to pull loyal domestic buyers away. The Tundra is even as capable as many of the domestic brands but in some ways it still has a way to go to truly be an alternative to Ford, GM and Ram.

LooksAs part of the 2014 redesign, Toyota went about setting up a slightly different look for each of its trim levels. Sold as an SR5, Limited and Platinum, each has a variation of the oversized front grille. The wheel openings are now larger and squarer, fram-ing wheel sizes ranging from 18-inches on the SR5 and Limited and 20-inches on the Platinum. The Tailgate has a soft open feature, stopping it from slamming down, that is fantastic but there is no side step or ladder into the bed the way Ford and the new GM trucks have. Sold as a regular car, double cab or Crew Cab, there is a model for most buyers.

InsideJust as the outside was redesigned to have a unique character for each trim, the inside mimics this idea. The Platinum model I tested is covered with a diamond pattern, or quilted look used on the leather seatbacks, side door inserts and dash front panel. It

is a step up from the lower trims but not nearly as supple and luxurious as the new batch of interiors from Ram and GM. Those trucks, in particular, have almost luxury-sedan interiors that make the driver forget they are in a truck. The Tundra, in comparison, is a bit stark, featuring a hard, simple plastic dash and door pieces that don’t compare. The centre screen is smaller than many competitors are, and the screen embedded in the instrument cluster is small. What has been improved is the overall layout of the centre console. The back seat is massive and flips up with just one hand to make room for interior storage. I found the last Tundra to have a very high seating position that limited headroom. This new 2014 seems to have a better seating position, no longer crimping headroom for taller drivers.

DrivePowering the Tundra are two V8 gasoline engines. The base model has a 4.6L V8 with 310hp and 327 lb.-ft. of torque. The larger 5.7L has 381hp and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. This is one area that the Toyota cannot compete; there is no V6 offered and no diesel (Ram only), which the domestic makers do offer. By limiting the available engine options and not having a heavy-duty model that will certainly diminish the

number of domestic buyers willing to give Tundra a try. On the road, I was surprised at just how rough the ride is in comparison to the all-new GM trucks, which really are like driving a big sedan. I would also place the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 a very close second in ride comfort. The Tundra is choppy on rough roads and the noise level is on the high side. Toyota claims to have im-proved ride quality on this refreshed 2014 model but I am not a fan of the ride.

VerdictThe Tundra is a capable truck. When equipped it can tow up to 4760 kg, which is on the high side in this class. What surprised me the most was the real “trucky” ride. I have had extensive seat time in all three domes-tic brands over the past year and I have to say that they are best sellers for a reason – the refinement is rather dramatic.

The redesigned 2011 Grand Cherokee was still unmistak-ably a Jeep, even though it came with an all-new chassis and body.

This rough country dream machine (from 2011 to 2013) was offered with an

impressively wide range of basic hardware choices that included three 4x4 systems, an optional Quadra-Lift air suspension system and two engines.

Its standard engine is a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 and other than some early pro-duction line glitches, (see recalls) the 2011-3013 Jeep grand Cherokee is a pretty reliable, fuel efficient modern unit. A big improvement on the previous 3.7 V6, the 3.6 V6 features 24-valves and variable valve timing and can produce 290 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. And fuel

economy is rated at: 13.0/8.9 L/100 km (city/highway).

That’s considerably better than the optional 5.7-litre V8 hemi engine, which is rated at 15.7 L/100 km in the city and 10.6 L/100 km on the highway.

The pulling power (390 lb-ft of torque) of the big V8 engine, however, helps to more than double the poten-tial towing capability of the Grand Cherokee, from 1588 kg to 3266 kg. Both engines are mated to a five-speed au-tomatic transmission.

The Laredo and Lar-edo X trim levels come with

Quadra-Trac I, a full-time 4x4 system that distributes drive 48/52 front-to-rear, but no low-range is provided. Quadra-Trac II was optional on Laredo X and standard on Limited and Overland. This system is capable of send-ing 100 per cent of drive to either the front or rear axle and has a selectable low range, which is important for demanding off-road use.

Then there’s Quadra-Drive II. This was optional on the Laredo X, Limited and Over-land and adds an electronic limited-slip differential that can concentrate up to 100 per cent of drive to a single wheel. It also comes with Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist systems.

The optional (Quadra Lift) air suspension can lower or raise (to a maximum of 27 cm) the ride height. It has a Park Mode that drops to its lowest (making it easier for passengers to get in or out) and an Aero Mode that au-tomatically lowers the Grand Cherokee at highway speeds for improved aerodynamics and stability.

In addition to being a more rigid platform, the new chas-sis gave Grand Cherokee a 13 cm longer wheelbase and a new independent rear

suspension. High-speed han-dling and highway ride com-fort, particularly for rear seat passengers, was noticeably improved.

A new top-line SRT edition of Grand Cherokee, with a 6.4-litre V8 hemi engine, was added for the 2012 model year. A six-speed automatic transmission also replaced five-speed automatic with the 5.7-litre V8 and a U-connect hands-free phone feature became a standard on all versions.

No significant changes were made for the 2013 model year and the big news for 2014 is the introduction of a diesel engine edition plus a new 8-speed auto-matic transmission.

The iconic Jeep bran’s pop-ular premium luxury utility vehicle, the Grand Cherokee has been around for over twenty years. A generally good reliability record has helped make it a Consumer Reports “Recommended” buy and safety-wise it has been a top performer in both government and indepen-dent crash tests. If you enjoy the outdoors, you’ll love the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

No. The BC Building Code sets “…minimum standards for safety, health, accessibility, fire and structural protection… (www.housing.gov.bc.ca/building/code). The definition of quality is set by each individual contractor. Two identical houses built to code and, both meeting criteria for New Home Warranty, can be radically different when it comes to quality.

When shopping for a new home and the Wow factor of granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and laminate flooring have you drooling, stop right there. Take off your blinders and look for clues that the hard earned cash you are about to part with is going into a sound investment; you need to look past the eye candy to the structure itself. Here’s a few hints of what to look for in both new and previously owned homes.

Does the ground around the house look unevenly settled and/or is there water lying around? This could be an indicator that the backfill around the house was not compacted sufficiently, which could lead to water leaking into the basement.

Can you check the roof when it has frost or snow on it? If you see uneven melting on the roof, there may be a lack of insulation and/or ventilation, and possibly a code violation.

Is the house built square? Code does not require a house to be built so that doorways, archways and windows line up parallel or floors are level. Don’t have a laser in your back pocket? Roll a marble on the floor and see where it heads, open doors half way…do they continue to swing on their own? If you step into an area or room and you get a sense that something isn’t straight or level, go with your instincts and check it out further.

What about the stairs? While they may not be squeaky today, it is worth checking out for the future. If you can see under the stairs, look for 3 stringers and check that the treads have been glued and screwed to them (glue would be squeezed out where the treads are fastened). Check that the risers (height between each step) are equally spaced to ensure safety.

Part II will reveal additional ways to check up on quality of construction including materials that just meet code versus those that provide quality; shining a light on what could be hidden behind crown molding and trim; and of course the secret (and very professional) wiggle test.

Man or woman, rich or poor: no one is safe in a natural disaster. Flooding, hurricanes, microbursts, earth-quakes, or other catas-trophes can happen at any time. Are you and your family prepared to deal with one?

You must be prepared in advance to be able to cope during an extreme weather event. Start preparing by finding

out what type of natu-ral disasters are more likely to happen in your area. At home, estab-lish an action plan for each scenario.

Emergency measures in case of flooding:

• switch off the elec-tricity and natural gas supply

• move valuable objects to a higher floor

Microbursts (local-ized violent winds):

• stay well away from windows and doors

• gather the family in the basement, a clo set, or under a staircase

Earthquake:• remain inside the

house• shelter under a table,

or desk, and hold on to it until everything stops shaking

Everyone in your home should be aware of the steps to take, no matter what the disas-ter. Decide on a meet-ing place where you can gather if you’ve been

separated. Post safety measures where they are visible and revise them together on a reg-ular basis.

Keep ready an emer-gency kit (first-aid sup-plies, can opener, can-dles, matches, hygiene articles, and important documents), a supply of drinking water, and enough food to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours.

Did you know that all-risk home insurance

policies cover damages caused by most na tural disasters? Take the time to check your cover-age with your insur-er. Climate change is wreaking havoc around the planet; don’t you want to be prepared?

Enjoy your home but prepare for emergencies

Interior Health took another big step towards East Kootenay Regional Hospital’s new intensive care unit and upgraded electrical system today when it released the ten-der for a general contrac-tor for the project.

“I’m pleased to see a project that is so impor-tant for the people of the East Kootenay moving forward,” said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. “This project will give physicians and staff an expanded and updated workplace that will sup-port the excellent care they are already provid-ing to patients.”

The new ICU will replace the current four-bed unit at the hospital and feature two addi-tional high-acuity beds, which will help relieve pressure on the inten-sive care unit. The more detailed integrated design process for the ICU is now complete and includes a 787 square-metre (approximately 8,470 square-feet) addi-tion on the northeast side of the existing hospital. While focusing on an enhanced care environ-ment for patients – such as integrated family spaces and maximized natural light – the design of the new ICU will also

take into account the needs of physicians and staff.

The project also includes a signifi cant electrical upgrade at the facility. The new electri-cal system will provide power to the entire hos-pital and optimize sys-tem performance. The

electrical infrastructure will be located in the basement of the new addition.

The estimated total project cost is $20 mil-lion. The Province is funding approximately $11.93 million, the Kootenay East Regional Hospital District is con-tributing $7.95 million, and the East Kootenay Foundation for Health is contributing $120,000.

“Today’s announce-ment brings us one

step closer to breaking ground on this project and having a new ICU available for patients and their families,” said KERHD Board Chair John Kettle.

“The Foundation is extremely excited to be a part of this project and

it’s rewarding to see our communities and part-ners from across the region stepping forward to support these impor-tant improvements,” said Donna Grainer, Executive Director for the Foundation.

Interior Health antici-

pates awarding the contract in early April. Construction will begin later in the spring, with construction comple-tion anticipated for mid-2016.

In Loving MemoryKenneth H. SmithOct. 25, 1946-March 3, 2011

No One KnowsThey say there is a reason.They say that time will heal.But neither time nor reasonWill change the way we feel.For no one knows the heartacheThat lies behind our smiles.No one knows how many timesWe have broken down and cried.We want to tell you somethingSo there won’t be any doubt.You’re so wonderful to think of.But so hard to be without.Love you alwaysPearl; Brent, Dean, Shelley, and their families
