CALL TODAY FOR PRICING & AVAILABILITY

by Jeff Nagel The NDP is accusing

the provincial govern-ment of handing over control of B.C.s blue box recycling system to Toronto-based multina-tional executives who will be unaccountable while B.C. businesses

and households pay higher costs.

Opposition small busi-ness critic Lana Popham raised the issue of Multi Material BC in the Leg-islature Monday, call-ing on the province to change course before the agencys new system for recycling packaging and

printed paper takes ef-fect May 19.

If government doesnt take a step back, B.C.s recycling system is go-ing to end up in a giant dumpster, Popham said.

The control of recy-cling should never have been outsourced to the large corporate interests

based in Ontario and abroad. This is a pro-found failure. This pro-gram needs to be paused and the entire concept reconsidered.

Pophams comments follow the launch ear-lier this month of a cam-paign against MMBC by a coalition of business groups, including the newspaper industry, who say they cant afford to

pay high fees imposed under the new system.

The Liberal govern-ment loves to claim theyre getting rid of red tape, she said in an interview Monday. So its quite ironic because MMBC is a Godzilla-sized red tape monster.

Although MMBC is registered as a soci-ety, Popham called it a dummy corporation

because two of its three directors are Toronto-based senior executives with Loblaws and Uni-lever, while the third is MMBC managing direc-tor Allan Langdon.

The Saanich South NDP MLA said the province should force MMBC to give B.C. stakeholders majority control.

Popham said the

MMBC system will be dangerously close to monopoly resulting in less competititon and in-novation in recycling.

She also said munici-palities have been pres-sured into signing con-tracts with inadequate compensation for their costs, the threat of pen-alties for contamination

NDP takes aim at Multi Material BC recycling failure

Spring is the perfect time to turn over a new leaf and start getting active. Introducing regular physical activity into your life is an important fi rst step towards better health, a happier mindset, and more. The whole family will benefi t from increased activity and getting on the road to a healthier lifestyle.There are so many known benefi ts to physical activity and an active lifestyle. Among them are a reduced risk of heart disease, premature death and stroke. Being active has also been proven to help improve self-esteem and confi dence, help you sleep better, increase your energy and reduce depression, among many other things. Furthermore, it helps maintain functional independence, mobility, and bone health.For many of us, it can be quite daunting to take that fi rst step towards an active lifestyle. And it can be more challenging to start something new without any help. The good news is residents of BC have access to a free physical activity counselling service called the Physical Activity Line (PAL). Through a phone call or online, qualifi ed exercise professionals are available to provide exercise and physical activity advice and help you develop a customized physical activity plan for every member of the family, from children

to older adults.When it comes to physical activity, more is better. To

achieve the health benefi ts, it is important to try and progress towards the Canadian Physical

Activity Guidelines, which recommend at least 60 minutes of physical activity

per day for children and youth and 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity each week

for adults. Adults and older adults should also add muscle- and bone-

strengthening activities that work the major muscle groups at least twice a week to help with balance and prevent falls for those with mobility impairments.Physical activity doesnt have to mean playing a sport or going to the gym. Playing a family game of tag, going for a swim or taking a walk outside with the family pet or to the store to get groceries count towards the physical activity recommendations.Try out something new; you may fi nd your new favourite activity! In any case, youre bound to have some fun and feel like a happier and healthier you.

The Physical Activity Line is available Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m in the Lower Mainland, toll-free at 1-877-725-1149. For more information, visit www.physicalactivityline.com or email [email protected].

Other physical activity resources include ParticipACTION (www.participACTION.com) and Healthy Families BC(www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca).

and a gag clause.MMBCs new recy-

cling fees on businesses will be passed along to consumers through high-er prices, Popham said, calling it a hidden tax that wont be transparent to consumers.

Meanwhile, she says cities are unlikely to re-bate property taxes that households already pay for recycling.

The slogan for MMBC should probably be Recycle once, but pay twice.

In some cities where MMBC wont provide services, such as Kam-loops, residents will pay for nothing, Popham added.

MMBC says it will take new types of con-tainers and packaging not collected in B.C. be-fore.

But Popham noted glass will no longer be collected curbside in many cities and theres little evidence the sys-tem will improve recy-cling rates overall.

She said a smarter ap-proach would have been to extend the beverage can deposit-refund sys-tem to more containers, such as milk cartons and laundry detergent jugs.

Liberal MLA Eric Fos-ter (Vernon Monashee) responded in the Legis-lature, saying the prov-ince made changes to exempt most businesses from MMBC fees and

paperwork if they earn less than $1 million in revenue, generate less than one tonne per year of packaging, or operate as a single outlet.

Weve got all kinds of validation on this chambers of commerce, local government, op-portunities for local gov-

ernment to either contin-ue the way theyre doing it or to have MMBC put their contractors in there to pick up, said Foster, who serves on the gov-ernments environment and land use committee.

MMBC came for-ward as an opportunity to change peoples way

of doing business and to put the onus on the

original producers of the waste product or the

recyclable product to re-duce.

If government doesnt take a step back, B.C.s recycling system is going to end up in a giant dumpster,

I am concerned about the management of our wildlife in B.C. and more particularly in the Kootenays. I am so frustrated, I dont know where to start, however; I must pref-ace my comments not-ing that although I am not a wildlife biologist, I am very familiar with the wildlife in the areas around my recreational residence.

Although I was not always a successful elk hunter when the 6 point only season was in place, I was pleased with the numbers of elk that I would see while hunting and rec-reating. Then, someone dreamed up the idea of Zone X and the uncon-trolled and unmeasured harvest of elk below the 1100 metre line on both sides of the Rocky Mountain Trench. I wonder how much of this regulation was based on sound wild-life management and how much was based on pressure from lobby groups. I would hate to think that if I was well articulated, vocal and had connections in the government that I could sway wildlife managers away from sound wild-life management prac-tices based on solid data and toward my wants. I would love to read an interview by FJ Hurtak with retired wildlife bi-ologists to get their per-spectives on how much political/lobby group pressure forced them to make decisions that may not have been in the best interest of wild-life.

I question whether the wildlife managers had adequate resources (staff and funding) to really understand what is best for our wildlife and the results have been devastating in my opinion. At times, I

wonder if they are do-ing a number of wildlife experiments to see how they work out. Below are a few examples of what I mean:

Why was there a need to harmonize wildlife regulations between re-gions? I believed that management units were created so that popu-lations could be man-aged herd by herd and watershed by water-shed I guess that this has changed. Maybe the thinking behind the harmonization was that hunters have be-come too stupid to be able to figure out re-gional regulations. In my opinion, harmoniz-ing the regulations has not gone well for wild-life;

When the mule deer population was just starting to get healthy with a 4 point only reg-ulation, why was any buck season opened? It is interesting to me that after a couple of years of open buck season, the length of the season had to be shortened and in some cases returned to a 4 point only season - hmm;

Why would we take a world class elk hunt in the West Kootenays and open it up to a general open season? I won-der how many years it will be before the big bulls that were once there, will become a thing of the past? In my opinion, a fair and equitable Limited Entry Hunt would have been a much more controlled approach;

Why do we have an open season on our whitetail does and fawns? I recognize that populations in some watersheds/areas may have been too dense but shouldnt the focus have been on those ar-eas and in a controlled way rather than an open

and uncontrolled har-vest? Many of those fawns were males and I wonder what opportu-nities will be like in the coming years to harvest a buck;

When the seasons where opened up on elk, mule deer and whitetail were the decisions made with the understanding of the true impact to the populations by preda-tors as well? Again, I am not a wildlife bi-ologist but my sightings of predators is greater than it has ever been. I have a cabin in the Rockies where I have cameras positioned for security purposes and the most common spe-cies viewed are wolves. I havent seen them myself but the cam-eras prove that they are there; in fact, I have to leave my golden re-triever leashed in camp for his own protection from being lured off or attacked by the wolves. In one tree stand dur-ing a three day period in the bow season, four bears and one cougar were seen ranging from 2 m to 35 m from the stand. The cougar was stalking me in response to my elk calls I had lots of time to take pic-tures. No deer or elk were seen in those three days; in fact, I hunted on 37 days in the elk season and never saw a legal elk! On two occa-sions, the hunts had to be altered due to grizzly bears. I dont hunt griz-zlies and I dont have an opinion on whether we should or shouldnt har-vest them but I can tell you that their numbers are increasing where I recreate. Do the wild-life managers truly know the impact by these species on the un-gulates when combined with the liberal harvest-ing seasons?

Why are we permit-ting vehicle access to sensitive wildlife ar-eas? I have a copy of a Sportsman map of the southern East Kootenays prepared

by Marvin Johnson in 1965 that outlines all of the watersheds named at that time. A com-parison of the vehicle access then and now would be significant. Do the wildlife manag-ers truly understand the impact of this access? I hope that I will be required to license my ATV soon so that I can be held accountable for where, when and how I travel;

With current technol-ogy, why am I not re-quired to report via a website, all wildlife that I harvest? To my way of thinking, this would give accurate data on numbers harvested, spe-cies harvested, sex of the harvested species, approximate location, hunter days etc. and may be less expensive than the sample mail out system that is now used.

I will officially be a senior hunter this season and wonder how much longer I will hunt; not because I wont want to hunt but because of the con-cern for the impact that I will have IF I harvest an animal. I have never hunted bears in the past but I am now thinking that if I want organic meat on the table, my best approach might be to harvest the bears and cougars rather than the ungulates. I may have to follow the lead of Red Green and the oath that says something like: I am a man and I can change if I have to, I guess. Therefore, if I spent as much time hunting those species that are on the rise as I do for those that are on the decline, I might feel more in balance.

I realize that my little dissertation probably wont help wildlife but it would be nice to know if there are others who have similar concerns about the management of our ungulates.

The Canadian Fed-eration of Women Cranbrook Club is very pleased to donate two more bursaries to the College of the Rockies.

Judie Blakley, the Fi-nancial and Scholarship Committee Chair, pre-sented Lois Murray of the College of the Rock-ies a cheque for two ve-hundred-dollar bursaries to the Licensed Practical Nursing Program for the year 2014-2015.

The club is using some of the funds raised from their annual Artisan Ba-zaar held at the Cran-brook Golf Course in November.

The Practical Nurs-ing Course at the Col-lege of the Rockies is a two-year program. The eligibility requirements for one of these two bur-saries will be presented to a mature female stu-dent (over 19 years of age) who is enrolled in

full-time studies at the College of the Rockies Practical Nursing Pro-gram and continuing to a second year. The tu-ition for this course has increased to $5,000.00 which adds burden to the returning students. Lois Murray said they are very pleased to get this nancial help from the CFUW Cranbrook club at this time.

Students will be se-lected using the criteria based on a combination of demonstrated nan-cial need and academic achievement.

This is the second

consecutive year the club has been able to help two East Koote-nay women COTR stu-dents, said Cathryn Henley, President of the CFUW Cranbrook Club. The monies are raised

through the sale of tables at the Annual Artisan Bazaar which features local crafters and artists of all kinds. Funds spent there by the crafters are reinvested in the East Kootenay to the bene t

of our community, she added. We are con-tinuing our mission of education at all levels. We support early child-hood education as well as post-secondary in the East Kootenay, said

Henley.Visit the website:

1. The Off Road Vehicle Act will replace 40 year old Motor Vehicle (All Terrain Act). Owners of quads, snowmobiles & off-road bikes will register their ORV and receive a license plate or numbered decal. BC Snowmobile Federation, ATV BC & many other provincial organizations have been consulted and support this.

2. BC is a dumping ground for stolen ORVs in Canada; COs & law-abiding riders cant identify those few culprits riding in alpine, riparian, grasslands & closed areas; BC is only province without ORV management; provides support & legitimacy to this form of motorized recreation.

3. Registration will cost less than $50.00 and will be one time only except when an ORV is transferred to a new owner. Fee will only be enough to cover costs of registration. MLA Bennett owns a quad and a snowmobile and strongly supports responsible motorized recreation. Details at http://www.leg.bc.ca/40th2nd/1st_read/gov13-1.htm

BCs Proposed ORV Legislation

Tip of the Week: Spring officially began on March 20th this year but it is the New Moon in Aries that really launches the season. It occurs on March 30 at 11:45 am PDT. What is of added significance is the Sun and Moon will also be closely conjunct Uranus. This indicates what can be described as an unpredictable explosive charge.Uranus says expect the unexpected. It can be compared to the joker, yes in the playing cards, but like the one in Batman too. Not surprisingly, Uranus is symbolized by the Fool in the Tarot. 0 is the number for this card and the history of both 0 and the Tarot are full of mystery, intrigue and twists and turns. In addition to Uranus spliced into this New Moon Seed, all three are in a tight and charged aspect to Jupiter and Pluto. Venus forming a contentious angle to Saturn meanwhile adds a sobering weight to the plot. Altogether this will prove to trigger some very dynamic, assertive and even aggressive energy patterns and consequent events.The culmination of this charged dynamic at the time of the Full Moon in Libra on April 15 at 00:42 PD is equally dramatic. Astrologers have been talking about this one for months. To begin, it is a Lunar Eclipse, which is known to, in effect, block the past, accelerate time and produce events that bring about key turning points for the future. Just hours prior to this peak point in the cycle, the Moon will make a series of challenging aspects again to Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto and to Mercury and Mars as well. This will activate people emotionally and noticeably. Mercury in Aries meanwhile will make hard aspects to Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto and Moon/Mars as well. The rest of the Month remains packed with power as well specifically on April 20, Easter Sunday. I will elaborate on these themes now and in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

Aries (Mar 21 Apr 20)Your pioneering spirit may feel a bit more like a poltergeist under this Moon cycle. However, what might come as a surprise is just how cooperative and willing you stand to be. At least a few antics are likely though, if not from you then from significant others. You may at least undergo a few tests the passing of which will be worthy of a star or two on your collar.Taurus (Apr 20 May 21)It may seem like you can feel the thundering hooves of a charging herd. This describes some of the energy patterns at play for you these days. You are ready and willing to work with the situation. You may need special tools, techniques and/or strategies. There is a danger of losing focus due to too many thoughts and interests. Set clear boundaries. Gemini (May 21 Jun 21)This new cycle indicates a resurgence of your sense of individuality and a creative rush to boot. The soul searching and perhaps challenging period of last month is yielding to resurgence; a veritable rebirth. Anticipate your confidence levels to rise steadily. Key communications and especially collaborations will prove inspiring and empowering. Cancer (Jun 21 Jul 22)A new day is dawning in your public and professional life. This is the start of an expansive and dynamic cycle. Yet it will probably prove quite challenging. Of course, you will not be alone in this regard. Everyone is feeling the rising intensity levels and the challenges they consequently imply. This is a call for an empathetic approach balanced by a firm resolve to prevail. Leo (Jul 22 Aug 23)This Aries New Moon is catapulting you into action. You are in the mood to go big. With Mars Retrograde, your energy and confidence levels may be up and down. However, the emphasis leans to the up side. To succeed you must be willing to overcome fears that may be blocking progress. The key is to take deliberate action to build momentum. Virgo (Aug 23 Sep 22)Some new initiatives in your daily rhythm and routine which stand to affect your overall lifestyle have begun. There may be a few delays and a few curve balls to deal with, yet the process is in motion. It may take until mid-May before all the lights are green. Patience will pay off at least eventually, so aim to be strategic and flexible on all fronts.

Libra (Sep 22 Oct 22)Some shifting and shaking or at least unexpected events on relationship fronts are underway. These may be giving you reason to feel cautious. At worst, they are producing worry and stress. Your health may be delicate these days, so stay cool in the heat to keep stress levels down. Control your imagination and stick to the facts. Scorpio (Oct 22 Nov 21)You are determined to take some bold new leads and initiatives. These are requiring a creative and imaginative approach. You may wish you could feel more confident. While you can practice self-control, you cannot control the flow. Exercising trust in and acceptance of circumstances and timing will help.Sagittarius (Nov 21 Dec 21)How much fun can you have? Measurements aside, you are in a playful mood. Boredom can be the source of stimulating dramas, to keep things interesting. Just remember that life does not judge but does teach by consequences. Meanwhile sweet dreams of what could be are bouncing around in your mind. Dream on but take some action too. Capricorn (Dec 21 Jan 19) Whatever is happening on the home front, it is probably not boring. Circumstances are pushing you to take account. Or is that a headcount of your best buddies and key contacts? Either way, digging deeper than you might usually is in the script. Finances, investments, inheritances and/or tending to taxes are featured. Tis the season. Aquarius (Jan 19 Feb 19)Many new thoughts, perspectives and perceptions are awakening in your mind. These are linked to new places and faces as well. You are in the mood to cut loose anyway. The time is right to experiment with new modes of self-expression. Cultural stimulations will provide a few perks and prove satisfying as well. Exciting times! Pisces (Feb 19 Mar 20)You are in an ambitious mood. As much as this likely includes stimulating your economy, you may also want to realize other returns as well. Bringing old affairs to resolution represent their own form of getting ahead. This process of knocking on and opening new doors and of closing old ones could well produce a boost in confidence.

SubmittedBill 13, the Off Road

Vehicle Act introduced today, promises certain-ty, safety and regulatory

structure for thousands of off-road enthusiasts.

The proposed Off Road Vehicle - or ORV - Act replaces the 40-year-old Motor Vehicle (All Ter-rain) Act with a modern management structure, designed to align with existing regulatory re-gimes at minimal cost.

Whether hunting, fishing, getting back to nature or just getting to work, many outdoor enthusiasts rely on off-road vehicles to aug-ment their rural expe-rience. The Off-Road Vehicle Act will secure the future of off-road ve-hicle use in a way that is

self-sustaining, safe and environmentally respon-sible, said Steve Thom-son, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Re-source Operations.

Increased use of quads, snowmobiles and other ORVs has helped British Columbians get out and enjoy the beauty of the provinces backcountry. Bill 13 will help ensure these vehicles are driven in a safe and environ-mentally responsible manner.

The act, if passed and brought into force, will:

Establish a one-time registration system spe-cifically designed to integrate with the pre-existing structure of the Insurance Corporation of British Columbias vehicle registry, reduc-ing implementation costs. ORVs will have to be registered and display a clearly visible number plate before they can be operated on Crown or other public land.

Allow the develop-ment of regulations on the rules of operation (such as wearing hel-mets), safety standards and conditions of use for a wide range of modern ORVs, including snow-mobiles, all-terrain ve-hicles or quads, dirt bikes and utility terrain vehicles.

Assist in identifying stolen or abandoned ORVs, by requiring ORVs to be registered in a database that is acces-sible to peace officers at all times.

Provide officers with more effective enforce-ment tools to target the small number of irre-sponsible ORV own-ers that endanger oth-ers or damage sensitive habitat. This includes the ability to stop and inspect ORVs for vio-lations, seize an ORV for safety or evidence purposes, and increase the maximum fine for offences from $500 to $5,000.

Included in the pro-posed ORV legislation is an amendment to the Special Accounts Ap-propriation and Control Act establishing the ORV Trail Manage-ment Sub-account. This will ease the process of providing future in-vestments directly into developing and main-taining trails, delivering lasting benefits to the ORV tourism industry in rural communities.

The proposed ORV Act is the result of extensive consultation, and repre-sents a fair compromise for all user groups. Im-plementation, including registration provisions, is anticipated in the fall of 2014.

Slugs: To the people/customers that open packages, look at the product and then buy the unopened package! Tsk!

Hugs: To our creator and Jesus, soon you will come to help this Earth and humanity. Lord knows we need you even more than ever now. Amen.

Hugs: To all of the people (and there is quite a number) who go forward in life despite medical blunders or mistakes that have occurred to them. Daily you endure this and live with this. Hugs also to the over 22,000 in our health region on chronic pain management. Hugs to all the doctors, nurses, specialists that do a good job and try their best.

Hugs: To our kind and very thoughtful neighbor lady who, with two little tots, not only shoveled her own walk way and sidewalk, but took the time to shovel ours as well. Thank you, it was very much appreciated.

Hugs: To the gracious couple who sat behind five senior ladies having lunch at the ABC Restaurant and picked up the

tab for ALL OF US! How thoughtful and generous! Thank You.

Hugs: Big hugs to the owner of Pita Wrapbit. I was walking my two little dogs the morning of March 12 & came upon a couple mule deer. You were kind enough to put your vehicle between us and the deer until my dogs and I were able to get a safe distance away so we could continue on our walk. Thanks again, you rock!!!!

Hugs: To my neighbors, I have been blessed. To the lady next door who cleared my driveway each time she did her own. To B & J who drove me to work numerous times when the streets were icy, also for always being there when I need assistance. To the wonderful couple who organize, cook & serve the special event dinners at our complex.

Slugs: A huge slimey slug to the hairdresser who cut too much hair off alittle girl whose long blonde hair was down to the middle of her back. This hairdresser didnt listen when the mother told her to cut only 3 inches off & now her hair is shoulder length. She didnt listen to her client, caused a lot of tears &now has lost business.And thelovely hair she cut could have been used for cancer patients wigs.

Gregarious Gardener

New Edibles1. Planting with a purpose! Over the past few

years, more and more gardeners have been looking at their yards and gardens as a place to grow not only beautiful flowers, but also fruit and vegetables. Along the way, they realize that these plants can be both beautiful and useful and more and more edibles make their way into hanging baskets, con-tainers and flower beds.

2. How sweet is this? Ipomea - or sweet potato vine - is a popular addition to flowering containers to add contrast with interesting foliage. They have smaller tubers that can be harvested and eaten in the fall, but this season, there are four new varieties of regular fruit-bearing sweet potatoes available; they are: Beauregard (orange skin and flesh, typical yam type), Georgia Jet (pink with orange flesh, ear-ly and high yielding), Toka Toka Gold (yellow skin and flesh, stores very well) and Tainung 65 (pink skin with pale yellow flesh, early to mid season).

3. A blast of orange. Another great choice for con-tainers is the new pepper variety Orange Blaze. It grows on a compact plant and has a high yield of fruit. They are beautiful looking, three-lobed pep-pers that mature from green to bright orange early on and boast a very sweet flavour with a crisp, juicy texture.

4. Tumble, but dont fall! As delicious as they are pretty, cascading tumbler tomatoes are great for hanging baskets and patio planters. The new Yel-low Tumblers add a splash of sunny yellow this season. They are extremely productive, yielding masses of one to two inch yellow cherry tomatoes.

5. Create your own Little Italy. If there is one plant, besides the tomato, that is an essential part of Italian cooking, it is basil. There are many dif-ferent varieties on the market and if you cant make up your mind, you dont have to. The new Try Basil actually has three different types of basil - Genovese, serrated and dark red - all in one pot.

6. Meet the Mighty Veggies! We have come to know and love the Mighty Matos over the last couple of seasons and now they are bringing their friends into our gardens. New additions to the grafted vegetables are Mighty Veggies Cool Cu-cumber and Epic Dusty Eggplant. Also available for the first time are Mighty Melons - there will be watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew. As with the Mighty Matos these are stronger, more vigor-ous plants with higher yields and superior defenses against diseases and less than ideal soil conditions.

7. Berry good. Herbs and vegetables are not the only plants making a move into smaller spaces such as patios and container gardens. The Brazelberry series features new varieties of raspberry and blue-berry that are thornless, short and compact and bred to produce fruit like crazy all season long. En-joy Raspberry Shortcake, Jelly Bean Blueberry and Peach Sorbet Blueberry.

8. More berrylicious news. Gone are the times when all we had growing in our gardens were strawberries, raspberries and maybe a few blueber-ries. New varieties of these traditional fruits are always being developed and other new berries are becoming available as well. If you are looking for something unique to add to your berry patch this year, why not consider marionberry, salmonberry, lingonberry, honeyberry or Askola and Leikora, two new seaberry (or seabuckthorn) varieties?

9. Romance your way through the garden. If you have a bit more space in your garden, consider planting a fruit tree. Bred by the University of Sas-katchewan, the Romance series of tree form cher-ries is extremely hardy. These short, compact trees are self-pollinating with sweet and sour varieties as well as a combo variety this year with three variet-ies of Romance cherries in one pot.

10. Grow your own fruit salad. If you want a tree with even more variety and have a sheltered corner in your yard, the Fruit Cocktail tree is for you. This is one tree with Frost peach, Puget Gold apricot, Red Haven peach, Hardy Red nectarine and Blue Damson plum all grafted onto it. It is classified a Zone 5, so it will need some protection.

SubmittedTwenty-six-year-old

Cranbrook resident, Jen-nifer De Pippos story is one of inspiration, perse-verance, and overcoming unimaginable obstacles. After surviving a terrible car accident at the age of 7, De Pippo faced 18 harsh years of rehabilita-tion. She laid in a coma, received brain surgery, and underwent extensive therapy.

Today, De Pippo can be found on most days in the swimming pool, training to enter the 2016 Paralympic Games. De-spite the daily challenges that affect her balance and motor coordination, De Pippo is fired up and determined to make the Canadian Swim-ming Paralympic Team, and has her mind set on bringing home a medal.

Her inspirational story, An Unexpected Mira-cleConquering Brain Injury, co-authored with bestselling Victoria au-thor Bennett R. Coles, is set to be published on April 1st 2014.

De Pippo and Coles will be at two book sign-ing/reading events in Cranbrook to launch the book:
