                                              smaller relatives, the Equisetum, as the only surviving genus of the class.
                                              Now there are only about twenty species of Equisetum in the world, six of
                                              which can be found on Vancouver Island.
                                                   Most species of horsetail prefer a moist location, but some will grow in
                                              quite dry sites such as gravel roadsides and sandy lots. Growing from a per-
                                              ennial underground system of rhizomes, horsetails usually appear in groups.
                                              Some species, including the
                                              locally found common horse-
                                              tail (Equisetum arvense), have
                                              separate fertile and sterile
                                              stems. The fertile pale brown-
                                              yellow jointed stems arise in
                                              early spring. After the spores
                                              disperse from the cone-like
                                              structure atop the stem in mid
                                              spring, the fertile stems wilt
                                              and die. Meanwhile sterile
                                              green stems with many whorled branches appear, carrying on photosynthe-
                                              sis for the plant and persisting into autumn. In other horsetail species, both
                                              fertile and sterile shoots are similar in appearance, and in yet others, fertile
                                              and sterile shoots grow as one, with spore-bearing cones at the tips of the
                                              green stems.
                                                  The scientific name Equisetum is derived from the Latin equus (meaning
                                              horse) and seta (bristle). The horsetail stem contains silica crystals, which
                                              makes horsetail useful for sanding and filing. Horsetail is also known as
                                              “pewterwort” for its ability to clean and polish metal, and “scouring rush”
                                              because it was used by pioneers to clean pots and pans.
                                                 Horsetail was, and still is, popular in herbal medicine, and is used to treat
                                              a wide range of ailments: edema, renal problems, tuberculosis, jaundice,
                                              hepatitis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, high cholesterol, frostbite, wounds,
                                              burns, balding, and many more, as well as an ingredient in cosmetics and
                                              shampoos. However, more research is needed to rate the effectiveness of
                                              horsetail for these uses. Young fertile shoots are considered a delicacy
                                              among many Coast Salish People and it can also be used to make a tea, how-
                                              ever green horsetail stalks should not be eaten raw. They contain an enzyme
                                              that destroys thiamine (vitamin B1) stores in the body (including livestock).
                                              Cooking or drying the plant destroys this enzyme.
                                                 Because horsetail grows and spreads quickly, it is often described as inva-
                                              sive. However, it is native to North America and not on BC’s list of invasive
                                              species. In fact, the horsetail’s underground system of rhizomes provides

as say, Fanny Bay residents, but that they care like you do
about our area, its creatures, especially its salmon, and our
world, and of course, that they all are so modest about their

                                                              3. Don't over-plug, Do not to plug too many devices into a single outlet.
                                                              4. Keep flammable objects away from the stove. For those children learn-
                                                              ing to cook, make sure they know to keep things like dishtowels and oven
                                                              mitts away from exposed heat sources.
                                                              5. Develop and practice an escape plan. Map out a plan and practice it
                                                              with them so they'll know what to do in an emergency.
                                                              6. Get low, get out. If an alarm goes off, your children should get low and
                                                              get out. Teach them about the dangers of smoke as well as fire.
                                                              7. Stop, drop, and roll. One of the classic fire safety tips for kids is to stop,
                                                              drop, and roll if your clothes catch fire. Show your children what this looks
                                                              like and have them practice it with you. It could save their lives.
                                                              8. Never hide in closets or under beds. Fires can be scary, but hiding from
                                                              them can be fatal. Tell your kids never to hide in enclosed areas where
                                                              they could become trapped.
                                                              9. Leave your belongings. Nothing is as important as your life when it
                                                              comes to fire safety. In case of a fire, leave everything behind and get out.
                                                              10. Don't use the elevator. If you live in an apartment building, make sure
                                                              your children know to use the stairs instead of an elevator.
                                                              11. Once in a safe place, call 9-1-1. If there are no adults around, kids es-
                                                              caping a fire should find a safe place like a neighbor's house and call 9-1-1.
                                                              Don't ever call 9-1-1 from inside a burning building. Get out first.
