This just in from the Meadowlark Festival!
Meadowlark Nature Festival
15th Anniversary Event
From May 17th to May 21st immerse yourself in the unique natural diversity of the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys.
The Meadowlark Nature Festival was once again voted the ‘Best Annual Community Event in the South Okanagan’ by readers of Okanagan Life Magazine, a sign that eco-tourism is alive and well in the southern interior.
The Festival offers over 90 environmental tours and events held under the open sky, which will take people from Canada’s unique desert to the alpine meadows high above the Okanagan Lake. Indigenous cultural tours, horseback rides, canoe trips, guided walks, bird watching tours, geology and history tours, art exhibits, hands-on presentations on astronomy, nature photography, sustainable green buildings and more, are all designed to be fun and informative for people of all ages and abilities.
What started as a small environmental festival 14 years ago has evolved into one of Canada's premier outdoor celebrations of nature. People from across North America and as far away as Europe now come for the tours, lectures, workshops and other activities led by prominent naturalists, educators, artists and scientists.
The Meadowlark Nature Festival is organized by the Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Alliance (OSCA) to encourage people of all ages to experience, discover and explore their natural environment. The Okanagan-Similkameen hosts a rare mosaic of natural habitats; among them is one of Canada’s most endangered ecosystems - the hot, dry shrub-grasslands. A springtime look at these shrub-grasslands, known as Canada’s ‘pocket desert’, reveals a riot of colour flourishing in this seemingly harsh environment. This popular 5-day Festival especially celebrates and showcases the unique wildlife and habitats found in the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys. Many distinct types of wildlife habitat are home to some of the most diverse and rare assemblages of plant and animal species in the country.
Walk-in ticket sales for the 92 events begin Saturday, April 14, from 11am to 2pm (doors open at 10am) at Suite 203, 246 Martin Street, Penticton. Tickets will be available online at www.meadowlarkfestival.bc.ca beginning the same day at 2pm. Visit the website for further details about all tours and events.
Get in touch with nature!

Canadian Indie Folk-Rock Superstar to play April 15th in Salmon Arm
On April 15th, Canadian Indie Folk-Rock Superstar Joel Plaskett and his band Emergency will play in Salmon Arm at the Salmar Classic Theatre at 7:30 pm. Joel will be on tour across the country to promote his new album, Scrappy Happiness; ten songs that he has written in ten weeks, each one featured on CBC Radio 3. It is an ambitious project that combines the best of both worlds - using a decades old approach to getting music to the public quickly and taking advantage of new technology to communicate and interact with audiences. Plaskett will document the process through social media with vlogs, twitter and online chats, which will be available at www.cbc.ca/joelplaskett.

Joel hails from Nova Scotia, where he has been a pop icon for over a decade, winning many awards including a Juno, two Canadian Folk Music Awards and numerous East Coast Music Awards, plus two Polaris prize nominations. In 2009, he opened for Paul McCartney in Halifax and in May 2011, he became the first artist ever to reach one million plays on CBC Radio 3. He writes catchy, infectious, lyrical rock and roll tunes that fill one with instant joy.
The Joel Plaskett Emergency Concert will be benefit for the Shuswap Environmental Action Society and will help with the project to raise funds to help purchase the property adjacent to the mouth of the Adams River, home to the world famous sockeye salmon run. This concert would not be possible without the generous support from these local sponsors: Askews, Salmon Arm Observer, Travelodge Salmon Arm, Barley Station Brew Pub, Mediability, Acorn Music, Salmar Community Association, and Earthtone Studios. Tickets are at Acorn Music in Salmon Arm (832-8669) and are available online at www.ticketbreak.com.

This just in ... No credible review of Cdn Environmental Assessment Act...
This press release just came across my desk and I thought it worth sharing
Parliamentary Environment Committee’s ‘Paint by Numbers Report’ Fails to Produce Credible Review of Canadian Environmental Assessment Act
Source: Canadian Environmental Network Environmental Planning and Assessment Caucus
March 13, 2012: (Ottawa) Conservative MPs on the Committee reviewing the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) have set out recommendations that follow the party line to further gut the federal environmental assessment process while failing to consider expert testimony to improve it, according to environmental groups from across Canada.
“Today’s report from the House of Commons Environment Committee failed to meaningfully reflect any of the ten principles for a healthy, secure, and sustainable Canada released last month and now endorsed by nearly 50 civil society groups,” said MiningWatch Canada’s Jamie Kneen, co-chair of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Caucus of the Canadian Environmental Network. “The Committee is clearly just painting by numbers on a page given to it by the Prime Minister’s Office.”
“Instead of a Parliamentary committee hearing from a full range of experts and the people with real-life experience, Canadians have had to listen to Minister Joe Oliver repetitively asserting that the public can’t be allowed to interfere in decision-making that will affect generations – not because we’re not qualified to comment, but precisely because we are. What should have been an informed deliberation has turned into a predictable and ideological attack on one of Canada’s key environmental laws,” Kneen added.
Lawyers and environmentalists point to an abruptly truncated and procedurally unfair review process as evidence the Committee has not undertaken a comprehensive review of CEAA that considers the submissions of all witnesses and views of all Committee members.
“This is a core area of federal responsibility, but Committee members barely had time to familiarise themselves with the terminology, never mind look into the range of experience of affected communities, proponents, and even government agencies charged with carrying out assessments,” said Rachel Forbes, a lawyer with West Coast Environmental Law. “There were a lot of organisations, First Nations, and even federal administrators that the Committee didn’t hear from. Without having obtained sufficient information and input through a fair process, we don't think there is a basis for claiming that this is a credible or comprehensive report that takes account of or upholds the values of democracy, health, and sustainability that Canadians hold dear.”
“It’s deeply disturbing that the government is willing to make serious policy decisions, without giving them serious thought,” commented Kneen. “Experts and grassroots groups alike have been working for years to develop a rigorous, responsive, and participatory environmental assessment process.” The Caucus, a national network of environmental groups seeking to improve environmental assessment since 1985, has published an extensive series of papers on various aspects of its design and implementation.
Both the Liberal and NDP members of the Environment Committee have issued dissenting reports highlighting the inadequacies of the parliamentary review process and concerns with a number of the report’s recommendations.
“Re-opening the statutory review process, as proposed by the NDP, is the only reasonable solution,” said Stephen Hazell, Ottawa-based environmental lawyer and law professor. “It is not too late for the Committee to discard shopworn ideologies and engage in an informed deliberation on how to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and fairness of federal environmental assessment.”

Water Food & Climate Wisdom - Green Pary's Guest Professor Series
Water, Food & Climate Wisdom, March 7th at the Schubert Centre, Vernon.
“The Okanagan is the driest watershed in Canada”, world acclaimed water research and planning expert, Dr. Hans Schreier, affirmed Monday evening. Praising Vernon & Coldstream for their progressive performance in water management, UBC Professor Schreier warned an overflowing audience at the Schubert Centre; “Politicians at all levels must do more to control urban & agricultural water waste and prepare for climate change”.
“It is critical for governments to achieve better balance in water, food & energy accounting, conservation & management”, he said.
“70% of municipal water in the Okanagan is used for agriculture. The majority of that is irrigated to low value forage for livestock. It makes more sense to direct scarce water supplies to more value added crops such as grapes”, he recommended. Noting that the number of retention dams has grown 10 times since the 1920s, Dr. Schreier doubted that more storage capacity is possible, “especially when climate change predicts the Okanagan will become drier”.
“Planners must regulate consumption to match capacity. A 30% reduction in urban and agricultural water consumption is quite possible”, he suggests, “with modern irrigation, livestock management, low flow toilets & landscape techniques”
“The time has come to consider processing farm sewage as seriously as city sewage. Livestock produce seven times more toxic nitrogen than humans. Once teeming with fish, Lake Winnipeg is turning into a dead algae swamp, from the effects of manure and excess fertilizer runoff.”
Professor Schreier stated that fresh water is so scarce around Singapore that it is now re-processing treated sewage for its drinking supply.
A 50% increase in world food production will be needed over the next 10 years, to satisfy a 2 billion increase in population, rising demand in emerging economies, and diversion of edible crops to bio-fuels, which absorb 40% of current corn production. At the same time, climate uncertainty is leading to destructive drought & flooding. Water is basic to food production. Noting that it takes 15,000 litres of water to produce 1 Kg of meat but only 1,000 litres to produce 1 Kg of crop food, Dr. Schreier suggested that reducing meat consumption may be the only way to achieve future food requirements.
“We must invest in innovation, but unfortunately, business as usual keeps going faster” Dr. Schreier lamented. “30,000 new homes were constructed in BC last year but only 15% included low flush toilets. Quoting high volume water consumption in the tar sands and fracking, he called on politicians to reflect new water, food and energy realities in building codes and best practice regulations.
The next presentation in the GUEST PROFESSOR Speaking Series hosted by the Green Party, will be UBC Professor Ross Hickey speaking about economic adjustments required to create post-OCCUPY equity in taxation, corporate governance & income.
Hear Professor Hickey at 7:00 pm Monday, March 12 at the Schubert Centre.

Why is North of 50 on a subscription drive?
When North of 50⁰ was first published, almost 10 years ago, I could count the free magazines distributed in racks in the Central Okanagan on one hand. It was an efficient, cost-effective way to distribute our magazine - a win-win for the retailers and other high traffic businesses who allowed North of 50⁰ racks on their premises; each benefitting from the other’s clientele.
Recently,however, I counted 20 free magazines in Kelowna’s Capri Centre mall. We believe North of 50 is different. We present stories about social and political issues. We remain independent, not influenced by advertisers. We pay our writers and do not publish ads under the guise of advertorial. We are the ONLY magazine in the Okanagan that adheres to those high journalistic standards.
North of 50⁰ is the BEST READ magazine in our region. So here’s the thing. We’re changing our business model. We will now be a reader supported, subscription based, bi-monthly publication. We are still printing 14,000 and mailing to businesses and subscribers.
WHY SUBSCRIPTION BASED – A reader supported magazine makes us accountable to our readers. It gives us more freedom to print stories that some advertisers and mainstream media will steer away from. We’re not interested in turning into an ”off the wall” or “lefty” magazine; we ARE interested in being a progressive, forward thinking, publication, unafraid to dig deeper, to say more. We want to do more investigative reporting, print more opinion pieces and offer content different from mainstream media that relies so heavily on advertising for income.
That’s not to say North of 50⁰ doesn’t value advertisers. We do! We hope to attract advertisers who wish to be associated with a quality read, who believe there is a need for a progressive, independent voice in our region.
WHY BI-MONTHLY – It takes time to investigate stories. To ensure we can deliver the quality content we are committed to, we need two months to research and gather information, to arrange interviews, to check and double check sources. We want to bring you stories and interviews that mainstream simply can’t.
WILL YOU STILL CARRY THE SAME COLUMNISTS? Yes, we will. And more, too. Calvin White and Don Sawyer ‘went national’ years ago; each has been published in major magazines and newspapers across the country. They’ve been called the best opinion writers in Canada, and for good reason. Whether you agree with them or not, they certainly bring compelling editorial to the table.
We would like to hear from others, too and we invite submissions from authors from various backgrounds and levels of experience. We’re especially interested in social, political and cultural issues, especially as they relate to the Thompson/ Okanagan.
The new North of 50 will require more eyes and ears, more editorial focus than little old me can handle on my own. So I have asked Christine Pilgrim to act as editor. The idea of the new magazine with the new editorial focus is right up her alley. Christine Pilgrim has been a regular contributor for several years, and has tackled topics like poverty and homelessness, and arts and culture. Now, she will add a new title to her resume, as editor of the new North of 50.

Can you live on $610 /month? - Press Release from Raisetherates.org
“Welfare Challenge” group challenges BC to match Alberta’s disability rates
Raise the Rates, the BC coalition that challenged MLAs to live on the welfare rate of $610 a month issued a new challenge today:
“We challenge the BC government to immediately raise disability rates to the Alberta level of $1588 per month,” said Andrina Perry of Raise the Rates. “There is no reason for BC residents who have a disability to have their health issues compounded by trying to live on the mere $906 that they get in BC.”
Raise the Rates wants the BC government to increase all income assistance benefits, including those for single parents and single people, to levels that are adequate to live on.
“People with disabilities in BC are living in poverty,” said Robin Loxton of the BC Coalition of People with Disabilities. “We call on the BC government to immediately increase BC’s disability rates.”
“If BC copied the Alberta increase it means people with disabilities like me could go to the community fitness gym for physiotherapy without taking the money out of our food budgets,” said Brenn Kapitan. “It would mean I could get a massage for my inflamed joints, have a longer life expectancy and reduce my risk of cancer.”
Alberta also increased the amount of earnings that people with a disability can keep from $400 a month to $800.
