www.bostonbarbc.net APRIL 2015

In February of this year, Ms. Debra Devine applied on behalf of BBESS and received a generous grant from the Vancouver

Sun’s “Adopt-A-Community” program. The hope was that funding would provide a kick-start to rejuvenating the school’s

greenhouse which has not been in use for several years. Not only did grant monies arrive, but donations to this worthy

cause began to pour in as well; motivating teachers, students and community members to get involved in preparing the

greenhouse for it’s intended use: teaching children how to grow their own food. As a result of the grant, the donations,

amazing support from people near and far—and our locals’ hard work, The Greenhouse Project The Greenhouse Project was born!

On March 4th, a work crew was formed, consisting of students, several community members and some very kind out-of-

town folks as well, to begin the big ‘clean-up’. Everyone rolled up their shirt sleeves, worked together, and managed to

empty the greenhouse of several years’ worth of accumulated but unusable ‘stored’ items. The mountain of clutter was

cleared out and hauled away in just one day. And they all had fun in the process!

On March 18th, enthusiastic and garden-savvy citizens gathered at the school to meet with Ms. Devine, to brainstorm and

begin putting a plan into action. The immediate project to be completed this spring will be the construction of raised garden

beds beside the greenhouse. Undetermined as yet, is the cost of labour and materials to repair the deteriorated outer skin

of the greenhouse. After completion of the ‘skin’ repair, the next step will be to cordon off sections of the greenhouse for

use by students and their families, interested community members, and local businesses. Another issue to be addressed in

the near future is to cost-effectively provide heat and light to the greenhouse for potential year-round use.

With seasoned gardeners and experienced horticultural-

ists present at the meeting, many great ideas, sugges-

tions and long-term goals were brought forward.

With the project’s main objective being the provision of a

’sustainable food source’ for students and the whole

community, many of these goals were not only immedi-

ate but long-term as well. It was agreed by all that

the Greenhouse Project could provide a valuable educa-

tional experience for students and any community

members who wish to become involved in its use and

future growth and development. More importantly, the

unanimous consensus of opinion was simply this:

Thanks to the Greenhouse ProjectGreenhouse Project ,

It’s Spring at last! And everything is coming to life! The gradual explosion of colour soothes our winter-weary eyes and the choirs of songbirds delight our ears. Beginning to make their presence known as well, are insects, many of which we often regard as pests. However, it’s only a small percentage that are actual enemies to our flower and vegetable gardens. Whatever your approach is to the insects in your garden, remember that they all serve a significant purpose in our environment. Pesticides are non-discriminating so keep that in mind. We definitely need pollinators and predators to maintain balance so try to encourage the beneficial insects into your garden. Gardening organically is really not all that difficult. There are just three basic rules to follow to

encourage the good bugs to call your garden “home”: 1) Don't spray chemicals, 2) Mulch and 3) Diversify your plantings.

Create your own insectary, which by definition is a place for insects to live and reproduce. It can be a separate bed near your garden or several small plantings throughout your yard (or interspersed among the veggies.) The insectary should include a variety of plants of different heights: low growers like thyme and oregano, taller flowers like daisies or cosmos, umbels like yarrow, dill, and fennel and composite flowers such as zinnias and sunflowers. The variety will provide attractive sources of food to both small and large pollinators and the beneficial predatory insects. Leaves, woody debris, areas of moss, herbs, shrubs, deciduous and

evergreen trees—all provide food sources and homes, as do rock, pebbles and gravel. Water is important to them, as well.

Plant early-blooming flowers to attract beneficial insects EARLY in the season, BEFORE your crops are full of pests. The important beneficial insects feed on pollen and nectar as adults. The first flowers of the season will invite these insects into your garden; they

will reproduce and their young will be ready just in time to take care of the ’bad’ bugs that will try to attack your garden.

Bees are of course a very valuable pollinator when growing vegetables and fruit. Plant a variety of flowering plants to provide the bees with continuous bloom and nectar sources all season long. Drill small holes in fence posts or standing dead wood so that mason bees can create themselves a home. Lacewings, both adults and larvae, are ravenous predators feeding on aphids, scales, thrips, mealy bugs, and caterpillars. Attract them (and encourage them to stay) by planting alyssum, coreopsis, and cosmos throughout your garden. Ground Beetles Avoid the temptation to squash those big black ground beetles. They're a gardener’s nocturnal friend. They hide in organic matter by day and by night, they hunt slugs, snails, and cutworms, (just 3 of the more than 50 types of pests upon which the ground beetle feasts). Beetles make their homes and lay their eggs in decaying organic matter so mulch your garden well. Lady Beetles (ladybugs) are often regarded as the most beneficial insect, with good reason. They’re a natural predator of many insects, particularly aphids, scales, mites, and soft-bodied bugs. One lady bug probably eats 5,000 aphids in its lifetime. The devel-

oping larvae consumes more than 150 aphids daily; adults eat about 50. Lady bugs are attracted to carrots, parsley, and dill.

If you happen to have an "aphid" emergency, here's a couple of 'tricks' you could try, to summon "the troops". Wheast is a combination of whey and yeast, used by commercial insectaries to feed ladybugs, lacewings, and other insects. It’s available from organic gardening suppliers, but you can also make a homemade version, without the whey. When the ‘good guys’

come to eat this stuff, they’ll stick around and dine on the ‘bad guys’ that are threatening your garden.

Homemade Wheast: Combine 1 part sugar and 1 part yeast. Add water to the sugar and yeast and mix till the consistency of paste. Apply the paste to small wooden stakes and place them in the soil around your plants. (Or dilute with water and spray directly on your plants but do this early in the day). . Another simple sugar-water solution when applied to plants can dramatically increase your ladybug

population in just a few days. Dissolve 10 table-

spoons sugar in 1 quart of warm water and using a

spray bottle, apply to the infested plants

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED…

What happens with a police investigation? After the initial call, the police investigation and the trial, have you ever wondered what the outcome was and what the “bad guy” or the “bad gal” received for their crime? In this month’s issue, we wanted to look back at one of these investigations that involved an impaired driver. June, 2012. It was a clear and warm night and the roads were dry and ideal for traveling. There were very few cars on the road and a Boston Bar RCMP constable was patrolling the highway when he found himself behind a vehicle that was driving well below the speed limit. Attention now drawn to the lone vehicle in front of him, the constable ob-served the driver of the vehicle having difficulty maintaining their lane position. The Constable watched as the vehi-cle’s passenger side crossed the solid white line and the constable subsequently pulled the vehicle over only to learn that the driver was prohibited from driving. Furthermore, the constable noticed that the driver was exhibiting signs of impairment which included the odour of liquor. After conducting his investigation, the constable determined that the driver was impaired enough to warrant further investigation which involves the driver providing samples of their breath. The driver, however, refused to provide a sample of their breath for analysis and the constable was left with no choice but to recommend charges of Impaired Driving, Refusal (to blow) and Prohibited Driving. Outcome: Because the driver chose to drive impaired and refused to provide samples of their breath after a lawful demand was made, the Courts fined the driver $1,000 and gave the driver a 2 year driving prohibition. For driving while prohibited, the driver was fined $500 and given another 1 year driving prohibition.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT : Are you prepared to dr ive less?

It was not a widely publicized topic but it had been finally made official. We are saddened to report that beginning of July, 2015, work will begin on the Trans-Canada Highway to equip it with its own toll-booth, similar to the one that was present on Highway 5. From our understanding, vehicles using Trans Canada Highway will be charged in both direc-tions with prices ranging from $10 to $75. Toll-booth will be prepared to take cash, debit cards as well as all major credit cards. Here are the projected fees that the drivers can expect to see as early as 2016:

*Semi-Trucks and Trailers: $75.00 *Buses and multi-passenger vehicles(10+): $55.00 *Light Trucks, Vans, Suv’s, Cars and Motorcycles: $25.00 *Residents of immediate areas: $10:00 (Immediate areas declared as all areas/communities that are located between Hope and Lytton inclusively.)

From what is currently known, the toll-booth will be built on the North side of Alexandra Bridge and there are some uncon-firmed rumours that the property will also contain a Canadian fast food franchise. Sources have hinted that the franchise bidding for the opportunity could include a company specializing in coffee, sandwiches and donuts.

HAVE WE MENTIONED? If you did not know, this month brings us April Fool’s Day.

April 1st jokes and hoaxes have been around for a long time. My favorite is a 1985

Sports Illustrated article about an incredible rookie baseball player, Sid Finch, then

training at the New York Mets camp. Finch could pitch a baseball at 168 mph with

pinpoint accuracy. Mets’ management was told the rookie would advise them by

April 1st if he would commit himself to baseball or pursue a career as a French-horn

player. On April 8th, Sports Illustrated declared that the rookie held a press confer-

ence in which he said he had lost the accuracy in his pitches. On April 15th, Sports

Illustrated admitted that the story was a hoax. So in the end...there will be no

toll-booths or restaurants... Happy April Fool’s Day Everyone!

The writer of the article left a hint within the article that the story was a hoax. The sub-heading of the article read: “He’s a pitcher, part yogi and part recluse. Impres-sively liberated from our opulent life-style, Sid’s deciding about yoga – and his future in baseball.” Can you figure out what the first letter of each of these words, taken together, spells?

TRIPLE P : POSIT IVE PARENTING PROGRAM BBULLYINGULLYING is using one’s power to hurt, threaten or scare others for one’s own gain. It ranges from minor teasing to threats and physical violence. Some of the worst bullying occurs when several children decide to pick on one child. Bulling can occur in all age groups and can take many

forms:

Verbal—teasing, put downs, name calling

Physical—pinching, tripping, pushing, fighting

Gesture—threatening facial expressions or gestures

Extortion—demanding money, lunches, schoolwork

Exclusion—being left out of activities

Harassment—through telephone calls, emails, text

messages, internet chat rooms and websites.

At least one in five children do not tell anyone that they are being bullied. Be on the lookout for signs which may indicate that your child is being bullied: *shyness, *difficulty expressing thoughts, *low self-esteem (putting themselves down), *appearing anxious, fearful or dis-tressed, *not wanting to talk about school, *trying to avoid situations (such as refusing to go to school) and

*a decline in academic performance.

If you know or suspect that your child is being bullied, encourage them to describe exactly what has been taking place, if it’s happened before and if so, how often. It’s important that parents remain very calm so the child feels comfortable talking about the problem. Prompt your child to be specific about what’s been taking place—acting out

the situation can be useful if the child remains vague; try to determine if your child has teased or provoked the bully; ask what your child has tried to d o t h e m s e l v e s t o s t o p t h e b u l l y i n g . It is not helpful to tell your child to physically fight back. Tell your child that the bullying is a problem and that you need to work together to arrive at a solution. Children are more likely to try a new way of handling the problem if they understand what is going on. Try to explain possible reasons for the bullying. For example: “they may not have many friends and bullying you makes the other kids laugh or join in—maybe they’re doing it to get attention.

And if it ‘works’, that may be why they keep doing it.”

Ask your child’s opinion on how to handle the prob-

lem and write all their suggestions down.

Offer a few options of your own: “Stand straight and look the bully in the eye. Tell them you don’t like it and you want them to stop. Try not to show you are

upset; walk away; be confident and assertive.”

Choose the ones that seem likely to work and act out the solution with your child before they try it out.

Check to see if the chosen solution is successful.

If bullying occurs at school, make sure the school is aware of the problem. A comprehensive approach is required to ensure that children understand that bullying is unacceptable. Teachers can: 1) increase supervision, 2) teach coping strategies to bullied children, 3) teach strategies to children who see bullying and 4) teach bullies how to solve problems

without resorting to aggression.
