Kyllo praises B.C. budget changes

Shuswaps MLA says prudent fi-nancial planning will benefit neces-sary social services.

The provincial government intro-duced its latest budget in the Legis-lature Tuesday.

B.C. should be proud of the performance of the economy, said Greg Kyllo.

Now we are able to show some heart and provide funding for ser-vices.

The budget calls for $673 million in additional support for children, families and individuals in need over three years, including $217 million for the Ministry of Children and Family Development to support vulnerable youth and their families, and $456 million for the Ministry of Social Development and to support those in need and to increase month-ly disability income assistance rates.

However, the official opposition is not impressed with the budget.

The premier could have made this budget about tax fairness, but she

chose to just tinker around the edges of the MSP tax, which amounts to little more than a shell game, said John Horgan, NDP leader, in a re-lease.

This is not a budget for B.C. families. This budget continues the billion-dollar tax break for million-aires, and dings everyone else so Christy Clark can make a deposit to her slush fund to pay for her photo-ops.

The budget calls for a Prosperity Fund, but Horgan says 25 per cent of it will be for core government priori-

ties and that, looks like code for a slush fund.

Kyllo, though, defends the chang-es to MSP, and says a single parent with two children will save between $840 and $1,200 a year.

Thats a considerable amount of money.

Kyllo also welcomes the budgets focus on community infrastructure.

There are additional dollars set aside for flood mitigation. We have to look at some of the challenges in the Shuswap with the spring freshet (runoff), he said.

The new School District #83 education support centre cost tax-payers a total of $9.3 million.

A final total was produced by secretary-treasurer Nicole Bit-tante, who noted the final bill was higher than original estimates due to increases in pro-

fessional fees, changes and unexpected site-re-lated issues. It is locat-ed on Shuswap Street adjacent to the Down-town Activity centre

The building, which combines four differ-ent school district work sites into one, is handi-capped-accessible, un-like the old downtown location.

That site has been put up for sale with

an asking price of $800,000 as has the former South Canoe Elementary, which is listed at $500,000. The school district is also preparing to list the former District Educa-tion Centre on Okana-gan Avenue near Shus-wap Middle School.

Construction costs for the new build-ing were $7,865,961, professional fees

were $801,807 and equipment costs were $368,081. The remain-der includes costs for other related projects including the geother-mal field, which was not included in the original estimates.

All costs for the building came from the school districts capi-tal budget and do not impact the operational budget.

City council has agreed to dip into its initiatives fund to sup-port Syrian refugees as they arrive in Salmon Arm.

At their regular meeting last week, Salmon Arms mayor and council agreed to provide up to $5,000 worth of bus passes, and possibly more if needed, at the request of the Rotary Club of Salmon Arm.

That request came to council in the form of a letter from the clubs Carl Flatman, who ex-plained the club is one of several organiza-tions sponsoring a ref-ugee family expected to reside in the com-munity.

It is estimated that there will be nine fami-lies coming to Salmon Arm in the next three months, writes Flat-man. The families will not have transpor-tation upon their arrival in Salmon Arm. The sponsoring organiza-tions would like to se-cure transit passes for the families to ensure that they are able to access the various fa-cilities and services in Salmon Arm.

Flatman estimated about $10,000 worth of passes would be re-quired (18 adult passes for 11 months and nine child passes for nine months).

Coun. Alan Harrison agreed council should help, saying its the right thing to do, but suggested Flatmans expectation for the number of refugees ar-riving in town so soon to be optimistic. He suggested passes could be provided as refu-gees arrive, expecting the cost would be half of what was asked for.

Council agreed to go this route and city chief financial officer Moni-ca Dalziel suggested a motion where bus passes could be pro-vided to a maximum contribution of $5,000, at which point Rotary could ask for more if required.

Coun. Tim Lavery preferred that cap be up to $11,000, with the hope some of that might come from an anticipated budget surplus. Council, how-ever, wound up settling on an initial $5,000 cap, with passes issued

as needed. Coun. Ken Jamieson

warned there would likely be opposition to this decision from some in the commu-nity.

We could very likely take some heat from some people, said Jamieson. On the other side of it the outpouring of sup-port by individuals and groups has been really something in this town, and so I think we are representing a desire, I think, of a great num-ber of Salmon Arm people.

A Salmon Arm stu-dent received some un-expected drama when police caught him car-rying a prop sword for a school performance.

On Tuesday morn-ing, Feb. 16, Salmon Arm RCMP received two reports of a sus-picious occurrence. Staff Sgt. Scott West said two individuals reported seeing a male

on Okanagan Avenue carrying something suspicious beneath a camouflage cover.

The item could only be described as long and out of the or-dinary, said West.

Police went into ac-tion, notifying schools and the daycare in the immediate vicinity out of an abundance of caution. Mean-while, West said all available officers con-

verged on the area and were able to locate the suspect, who is a stu-dent at a local school.

The student had been transporting a prop for a school per-formance a replica/prop sword, said West.

Investigating officers quickly determined there was no threat, and the previously no-

tified schools and busi-nesses were updated.

West says co-ordina-tion with the schools and adherence to safety protocols were seam-less and no one was in danger at any time.

Asked how the prop sword should have been transported, West recommended by ve-hicle and with parent.

Motorcyclist killedIts still not known

what led to a fatal mo-tor vehicle accident in Vernon on Saturday, Feb. 13.

The 43-year-old driver of a motorcycle, Shawn Jeremy Lank of Salmon Arm, died at the scene. The 83-year-old man driving the SUV and his 82-year-old female passenger sus-tained non-life-threat-ening injuries.

At 5:15 p.m., officers responded to a motor-cycle colliding with an

SUV on Highway 97, just north of 48th Av-enue.

The incident occurred when a northbound mo-torcycle crossed the centre line and struck a southbound SUV, which went into the ditch.

RCMP officers are looking at a number of factors as contributing factors and are con-ducting a mechanical inspection of the motor-cycle to determine the possible cause.

North Okanagan-Shuswaps MP hopes political differences wont stand in the way of Ottawa reaching out to this region.

Conservative Mel Arnold has been con-sulting with municipal-ities, regional districts and First Nations so he can provide input to the Liberal government be-fore the federal budget is unveiled in March.

We can say this is a consensus from the communities around the riding. This is what people on the ground are looking for, he said.

Last week, Arnold met with the Regional District of North Okan-agan. A push was also made to have Ottawa assist communities obtain corridors aban-doned by railway com-panies.

Its insanity to lose a corridor that could be used for fibre optics or

light commuter rail in the future, said direc-tor Kevin Acton.

Arnold was also urged to push for a na-tional housing strategy.

Its so difficult for people to buy a house, said director Catherine Lord.

Other items suggest-ed to Arnold included funding for social agencies and the need for increased focus on mental health pro-grams.

The need to fight in-vasive mussels from entering local lakes was also discussed and Arnold says it may be the focus of a private

members bill this fall.If the government

hasnt moved forward on that issue, I will look at that, he said.

Director Mike Macnabb encour-aged Arnold not to get caught up in the parti-san component of Ot-tawa.

Wed like you to work with the govern-ment and not neces-sarily follow the party line that, Everything you (government) do is wrong, said Macnabb.

Prime Minister Jus-tin Trudeau has sug-gested that Liberal promises prior to the election may have to be adjusted because of economic uncertain-ties.

They are finding out that budgets dont bal-ance themselves, said Arnold.

We need to be seen as stable to attract in-vestment. It will be in-ternational investment that drives the econo-my.

When we were kids, my father told us if we were not willing to clean the fish we caught ourselves, we had to put them back in the water unharmed.

He was an advocate of catch-and-release long be-fore there was such a prac-tice in large part, I suspect, because he did not want to clean all the fish by himself. Be that as it may, catch-and-release is now widely prac-ticed by an ever-increasing number of anglers.

Many North American salmon and trout waters have been designated catch-and-release fishing only in an attempt to preserve the quality of sport fishing. Catch-and-release is simi-larly promoted by govern-ments as a management tool in an effort to reduce the cost of rearing and using stocked fish, while conservationists advocate catch-and-release as a way to ensure the sus-tainability of natural fish stocks.

The effects of catch-and-release on fish has been ar-gued, studied, questioned and written about for the better part of the last 50 years. Countless studies have measured both the ef-

fects of various types of fishing tackle and angling techniques on fish mortal-ity, and in pretty well every study, the link between the causes of fish mortality, the types of gear and techniques used to bring the fish in and subsequently release it, all boil down to one thing: the amount of stress fish are subjected to directly affects post-release survival rates.

Although catch-and-release mortality data may not necessarily show, sta-tistically, a direct correla-tion between the degree of physiological stress and fish mortality in the wild, one particular experiment (by Ferguson and Tufts) did examine the effects of ar-tificially induced stress on rainbow trout in a tank. The

study concluded that vari-ous forms of physiological stress do directly contribute to fish mortality and that, by inference, a minimization of stress would effectively re-duce catch-and-release mor-tality rates of fish in the wild.

To put things in simple terms, the manner in which fish are caught is important.

Numerous studies have compared mortality rates and angling methods, and have found the use of ar-tificial baits such as lures or flies, does significantly reduce both the incidence of fish swallowing bait too deeply to remove the hook without injury, and the rate of fish mortality. A major-ity of fish mortality studies would also seem to indicate the physiological effects of stress (as a result of being caught) are usually pretty well reversed within a 24-hour period. It can be in-ferred from these studies that the use of heavy tackle is desirable in lowering mor-tality rates and, conversely, lighter tackle and lower strength lines may increase the risk of mortality.

Common sense, as well as scientific data, show the longer fish are out of the wa-

ter, the more they become stressed, and that a minimal amount of handling not only reduces the amount of post-catch stress but also the risk of physical injury due to struggling and loss of body slime. Holding fish out of the water puts added stress on a fishs inner body and organs which are, in part, held in place by the external force of water pressure.

I try to keep a fish right on the surface, but still in the water, when removing the hook.

Prior to release, any fish displaying signs of exhaus-tion or stress should be re-suscitated by holding the fish with its head pointing into the current. (In still waters, fish can be moved back-and-forth in a figure-eight pattern to increase the amount of oxygenated water passing through the gills.) When the fish demonstrates a stable equilibrium and strong swimming ability, it can be safely released.

The way I see it, proper catch-and-release practices are important not only to the survival fish that are caught, but also to the future of fish stocks to be caught in years to come.

Catch-and-release important to stocks

Bullying doesnt happen in a vacuum.Some members of Oak Bay Highs junior

boys basketball team were recently involved in taking an inappropriate photograph and sharing it through social media. As a result, a fellow stu-dent and teammate was bullied.

When the schools investigation suggested that many on the team were aware of the incident, administrators responded not by sidelining one or two players, but by ending the entire teams season, just as it was set to embark on playoffs.

We commend the schools decision.One of the main messages of the coming Pink

Shirt Day and the WITS anti-bullying program presented in local schools is the importance by-standers play in bullying.

WITS which stands for Walk away, Ignore, Talk it out and Seek help notes Peer victim-ization rarely involves just an aggressor and a victim. There are usually bystanders, and de-pending on how these bystanders respond, they contribute to either the solution or the problem.

With this in mind, disciplining the team as a whole recognizes the role of the group in the in-cident and its members collective responsibility to stand up and say no.

Teens, both boys and girls, will make bad choices. One of the differences today is that social media spreads the results of those choices so much farther, as apparently happened in this case.

If good can come from this, we hope that par-ents and children will talk about the implications of those decisions, first and foremost for the vic-tim, but also for the others involved. Players on the team received direct and real consequences for their actions or inaction and we trust that will offer the opportunity for positive discussion.

Lets continue to talk.Oak Bay News

Bullying bystanders have a choice

Des Kennedy de-scribes gardeners this way in his funny book Crazy About Garden-ing: In my opinion, most gardeners are nuts. Some will deny it, of course, some will object. But the evi-dence is overwhelm-ingly against them. Just ask a person who doesnt garden, but lives with someone that does. Better yet, spend a few minutes at a flower show, a garden-club meet-ing, or a horticultural society soiree. These events are attended by more peculiar-looking characters than a jest-ers convention in Las Vegas. The costumes are unconventional at best, the conversations quirky. The whimsical walk arm-in-arm with the eccentric, the two of them perhaps paus-ing to study a cluster of dead twigs in a vase. Idiosyncrasy wafts through the room like cheap perfume... Theirs is an all-consuming passion, an infatua-tion that precludes all else. A place where the mind goes to seed.

Gardeners come in all shapes, sizes and sexes, race and colours, range in age from the youngest of children to the creakiest of centenarians and can be found planting and

picking pretty well all over the planet. They have vastly varied lev-els of abilities, skills, knowledge and educa-tion as well as centuries of cultural and philo-sophical backgrounds, which as we well know, can sometimes lead to very polarized points of view about the methods and treatment of soils, plants and water.

Obviously not all gardeners of the world are created equal either. They toil in the soil for basic survival or a live-lihood; for pleasure, physical exercise, food, fun, fresh air, vases of fragrant flowers or to follow in their fam-ilys footsteps; for the desire to create beau-tiful landscapes; for study, contemplation, critter habitat, healing, social connections or simply for the spiritual practice of consciously connecting with the earth. Some garden-ers or farmers become highly educated in all aspects of it, while oth-ers prefer to learn about certain things in par-ticular, such as green-house gardening, hy-bridizing, planting pots or hanging baskets, seed starting/saving, etc. The lucky ones are gifted with a natural green thumb who can seemingly grow any-thing with little effort, while others despite all their efforts - can never seem to achieve the same results.

In another words, no two gardeners will ever be alike and they all started somewhere, somehow.

Take me for exam-ple. When I was a kid in Vancouver, my mom

got me to plant stuff in her garden that would grow fast like radishes so I wouldnt get bored with it, plus I loved our old neighbours amaz-ingly scented sweet pea patch, but Im not sure this planted a seed in me to become a gar-dener. Then in my late 20s, life landed me on a small acreage where I grew my first over-sized veggie garden by just sticking seeds in the rows and keep-ing it watered. A few more plots over the years were pulled off the same way wherever I happened to move to, until I at last took the time to take an or-ganic gardening course at around 50. Although more enlightened after that, this knowledge to me did not hold a candle to the real gar-deners I knew or read about, which were far more versed on plants, seeds, harvesting, prun-ing, etc. than I was or would ever likely be.

My composting and mulching practices are much better now for sure, but by nature Im the wing-it type rather than the studious, so I still plant things willy-nilly around the yard, usually start the veg-gies too late, rarely research anything or ask for advice and Ive yet to learn things like saving and starting my own seeds and all the other things I re-ally should know by now. I could probably manage to name a few plants in English, but I couldnt give you one plant name in Latin if my life depended on it. Unfortunately in high school, I learned the

words organic and orga - (well, you fill in the rest) at the same time, as well as hu-mus and hummus, so I still have to think re-ally hard not get them mixed up in conversa-tion. So you see, I see myself as one those people that garden a bit, rather than being one of those genuine gardeners, because I dont know a whole lot about anything really, let alone practice it. And here I am writing a garden column!

My point is, most of us are likely never go-ing to be in the same league with the super-educated and experi-enced gardeners, but like me, we can still manage to grow some food and flowers be-cause thankfully the plants know what to do with a little bit of care and attention. Anyone can be a gardener and goodness knows this poor old planet of ours could sure use a lot more of us, whether were just winging it or not!

Anyone can be a gardener

The Arts Council for the South Shus-wap has been awarded $9,700 by the BC Arts Council to put towards a community engage-ment piece in their new home.

Shuswap artists Me-lissa Nasby and Lynn Erin will spearhead A Journey Begins, a project that will become a permanent installa-tion in the Arts Council space on the lower level of Carlin Hall, which was recently renovated.

We have a bulk-head that drops down from the ceiling and its proved a little challeng-ing in how to not only have it blend in with our beautiful space but also work to our advantage, says arts council admin-istrator Karen Brown.

A fibre art installa-tion fit the bill for sound absorption, so the arts council turned to its res-ident artist and teacher Lynn Erin and to con-tributing artist, Melissa Nasby.

Together, Nasby and Erin will oversee a number of community engagement projects to bring the fibre art proj-ect to completion.

A Journey Begins will depict clay sculp-tured spawning salmon traversing over a rock face on one end wall. It will then travel up to cover the bulkhead in a fibre art piece that will represent the blue and green waters of the Shuswap, finishing off at the other end of the foyer/gallery with Nasbys commissioned piece boasting the earthiness and natural beauty of the Shuswap.

This is a community space built by the com-munity, arts council president Lona Heinzig says. We certainly could not have achieved what we have to date without the many vol-unteer hours put in by residents and sub-con-tractors.

A number of in-teractive community

workshops have been planned so that resi-dents of all ages and abilities can contribute to the project. Handi-work such as knitting, felting, paper-rolling, quilting and such will all contribute beau-tifully. Upcoming workshops hosted by a variety of talented artists include needle felting leaves (Feb. 20), Bugs on a Board Kids Activity (March 5), Organic Dyeing & Printing (March 12), Metallic Snails Kids Activity (April 9) and Wet Felting Instruction (April 16).

The first Saturday of every month is always Kids Day in the Art Stu-dio.

We plan on open-ing this up to the school

community as well; wed love for kids to feel the pride in con-tributing permanently to a community project and to take ownership of that wonderful con-tribution, says Brown.

The arts council has created opportuni-ties for everyone in our family, says Carmen Massey. Our boys are able to take music les-sons after school, I am

able to sing and my husband Troy is even getting into drawing and painting.

If you are interested in contributing to A Journey Begins, con-tact the arts council at 250-515-3276, or email [email protected]. Check out the website www.shuswaparts.com for all classes, workshops and cultural events.

Band gets financial boostCarlin Middle Schools band received a $1,000

donation from the Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC) as part of the unions Building Communities Together program.

The school band was nominated by James Dean, who is a member of CLAC Local 63 em-ployed by Cornerstone Industrial Limited.

The band is in need of instruments and uni-forms, says Dean. New instruments can be costly, and supporting a high school band can be challenging with little or no school budget.

Parents often have to pay for instruments if their child doesnt already own one, and new instru-ments can be expensive.

This donation will go toward uniforms that will unite them as a band, as well as transporta-tion to competitions. These students would love to share what they have learned with their family and friends.

CLAC is committed to supporting local com-munities in the areas where our members live and

work, which they do through the Building Com-munities Together program.

Twice per year, the union selects up to 15 causes at random from eligible nominations to give a do-nation to help them in the important work they do in their community. All causes are nominated by CLAC members. Donations range from $1,000 to $2,500.

Log in to myCLAC to share your favourite local cause, what it does and how it helps your com-munity.

Formed in 1952, CLAC is one of Canadas fast-est-growing unions. Operating through 15 mem-ber centres, it is the countrys largest national, in-dependent, multi-sector union representing more than 60,000 workers in almost every sector. Based on values of respect, dignity, and fairness, CLAC is committed to building better workplaces, better communities, and better lives.

It may seem like many Shuswap resi-dents are falling foul of the flu, but the numbers say otherwise.

Kamran Golmo-hammadi, an Interior Health medical health officer and preven-tive medicine special-ist, says the number of lab-confirmed cases of influenza up to Feb. 6 was 44, down from 283 for the same time frame last year.

Every year we have an increased number of both influenza and

respiratory illnesses in December and Janu-ary, says Golmoham-madi, noting only peo-ple whose symptoms are bad enough to seek medical attention are tested, and then only if their physician or-ders testing. We have significantly improved from last year, which was not a good year.

But could the current situation be the start of something big?

Golmohammadi says the possibility exists as the number of con-firmed cases last week, which was 12, is fairly

similar to last years total of 17.

As well, he says there are traditionally two in-fluenza and respiratory illness peaks, with the second one coming in March and April.

We have not seen

all of the cases yet, but so far, it is certainly better than last year, Golmohammadi says. We have surveillance on outbreaks and com-municable diseases and we will continue moni-toring.

How to be Happy at Home

Can you have a friend be your nurse?

WellnessYour Health &INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

(NC) As people age and begin to face hurdles that may make daily living more difficult, both seniors and those that care for them need to consider a plan for aging-in-place. Without a plan for the future, unexpected changes can quickly lead to bad situations that are far more difficult to navigate. The best possible scenario for many, is ensuring seniors are able to stay happy at home for a longer period of time.

Aging-in-place is often something people dont think about until an incident forces the issue. There are a number of things to discuss when thinking through a plan for happier and seamless aging. For example; does the senior want to downsize? Do they live in an urban area with accessible transportation? Is the current home a place

that can be modified to accommodate changes?

Everyone involved in this process needs to consider wellness and what is going to make the senior feel happy and safe. And while it may seem like a daunting conversation to have, coming up with an aging-in-place strategy can start with small, simple adjustments:

1. Have an open and honest conversation about everyones definition of being happy at home. You may be surprised to hear that caregivers and seniors have different perspectives on what a fulfilled senior life looks like. A recent study revealed that caregivers prioritize activity and exercise while aging seniors are looking for meaningful relationships and connection to those around them.

2. Easy-to-use aids like Philips Lifeline are a cost

effective addition to aging-in-place. Products and services like the at-home Medication Dispensing Service, GoSafes mobile pendant with two-way voice capabilities and AutoAlerts fall detection enable longer, independent living. Technology aids of any type are a great way to ensure a feeling of security at home.

3. As daily living for seniors continues to evolve,

so do the supports needed both inside and outside the house, and from those that are providing care. In addition to technology aids, larger changes may also become necessary. Happiness in the home will be unique and tailored depending on the person, so its important to keep in mind there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

(NC) Rather than receiving health care in hospitals or long-term care settings, many people choose to receive ongoing care in the comfort of their own home. Although this setting may seem less formal, the relationship between home health nurses and their patients must remain professional.

Nurses are experts at building trusting

relationships. The relationship between you and your nurse can sometimes feel like a friendship, especially if the nurse provides care to you over an extended period. In such situations, you or your family may want to offer gifts or invite the nurse on vacations to show gratitude for the care theyve provided.

However, nurses are first and foremost

responsible for providing you with care. Many employers, as well as the College of Nurses of Ontario, the provinces nursing regulator, recommend that nurses not accept gifts from patients and families. It can be awkward for everyone when a nurse declines a well-meaning gesture. The College has guidelines to help nurses acknowledge patients gratitude

while also maintaining professionalism.

To keep your health care needs the priority, nurses follow standards set by the College that do not allow them to: give or receive gifts; be included in a will; participate in financial transactions not directly related to caregiving; interfere in patients personal relationships, or enter into personal

relationships with them. Nurses have their patients best interests at heart, not other benefits.

More information about these and other standards that help with appropriate n u r s e - p a t i e n t relationships and promote your safe care is available online at www.cno.org/here.

Small business and non-profit organiza-tions around British Columbia are strug-gling to get noticed in an extremely competi-tive market.

But the battle can soon be over thanks to a one-day Marketing Bootcamp offered in Kelowna on February 29 and Kamloops on March 1.

Marketing is of-ten an afterthought for small businesses, but it shouldnt be, said George Affleck, the president and CEO of Curve Commu-nications, a Vancou-ver-based marketing agency. Without the proper strategy, com-panies cant stand out from the competition.

Affleck and a team of experts are behind these one-day inten-sive marketing classes, which will teach par-ticipants how to jump-start their marketing campaigns and build their brands.

Team CurveAffleck is a former

journalist and Curves founder and CEO. Hes also the author of Buzz: How to Grow Your Small Business Using Grassroots Market-ing. With more than 15 years in the industry, Affleck has developed a fail-safe grassroots marketing model that can help launch or cre-ate awareness about

any business. Amanda Bates,

Curves vice president, brings more than 20 years of experience in journalism, producing and television to the workshops. She is an expert crafter of pitch-es and knows what it takes to get journalists to cover stories.

Stephen Johnson is a master of Google search algorithms, pay-per-click campaigns and search engine optimization (SEO). He works behind the scenes to make mar-keting efforts stand out from the competition.

The CourseBuzz, Afflecks

book, was released at the end of 2015 and covers tools and tips business owners need to launch and grow their companies. In it, Affleck describes his Buzz Formula a mar-keting method he has honed over the years. Its a formula he will also share with partici-pants in the Kelowna and Kamloops work-shops.

Unlike other cours-es, these marketing bootcamps wont take a generic, catchall ap-proach, Affleck said. Before participants even set foot in the training room, we will evaluate their exist-ing online presences from websites to social media.

For companies and organizations without websites, the Curve team will also explain why having an online presence is a necessary component to an effec-tive marketing cam-paign.

Business owners will learn how to manage their SEO, Google Ad-Words and Facebook advertising too.

Ill take participants on a tour of search en-gines and reveal how companies can profit from them, Johnson said.

Participants will dis-cover how to create ads for print, radio, televi-sion and online, write compelling content, and harness the power of email marketing while adhering to Ca-nadian anti-spam laws.

Curve has years of experience in media buying and will show workshop participants how to negotiate ad placement, create pro-motional campaigns, foster community rela-tions, place corporate donations and develop strategic pitches for journalists.

I received count-less pitches as a pro-ducer, but many of them lacked research and newsworthiness, Bates said. Journal-ists are busy and dont have time to figure out what youre trying to say. We know how to get their attention.

The BenefitsNot only will boot-

campers get all the ad-vice they need to help their companies and organizations stand out from the competi-tion, they will receive a free copy of Buzz and an hour-long compli-mentary one-on-one session with Affleck, Bates or Johnson.

The newspaper is also partnering with Curve Communica-tions and will offer ad bundle discounts to all those who register for the Marketing Boot-camp.

Dont delay in sign-ing up for the Market-ing Bootcamp because

space is limited. Con-tact Kerry Slater at [email protected].
