Tax exemption increase worries businesses CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Grand Forks businesses may feel the pinch when the federal government lifts the exemption limit allowing Canadians to bring back more items duty and tax-free.

As of June 1, travelers who have been outside of Canada for more than 24 hours, but less than 48, will be able to bring back $200 worth of tax-exempt goods – the limit is currently $50.

Canadians travelling outside the country longer than 48 hours will also see the exemption increase from $400 to $800. The exemption for travelers who have been away for more than seven days rises $50 to $800.

Limits for alcohol and tobacco remain the same.

Dale Best and Sue Thomas, owners of Work ‘n Play on Market Avenue and 2nd Street in Grand Forks, are upset with the

government’s decision.

“To think that the Canadian government would do something like that to their own people is disgusting,” stated Best. “Every time they say the Canadian merchants have to sharpen their pencils, well, you’d think the government would take some of the tariffs off. If we could pay closer to the same price, that would be nice.”

Best added that two problems are Canadian businesses pay different prices than Americans, and the minimum wage in Canada is higher than in the United States.

Thomas added the tariffs are also higher.

“We’re not on a level playing field because we have an 18 to 20 per cent tariff on the items that we do have to bring in,” Thomas said. “If no one’s here, what happens to your community? It’ll be a ghost town.”

According to the Retail Council of Canada’s website, Canadi-

Dale Best of Work ‘n Play

an retailers can pay upwards of 18 per cent in import duties when compared to American counterparts.

Imported goods are also subject to the five per cent federal Goods and Services Tax. According to the federal government, the changes in tax exemptions are an attempt to harmonize the long-unchanged exemption rates with the United States.

After 23 years in business, Best and Thomas noted in order to make the business work, they

have to work long hours.

That plus increased rent and electricity makes everything more difficult than 10 or 20 years ago.

Best pointed out that electricity alone can cost up to $900 per month alone.

“I totally understand people going down there to buy their groceries while trying to raise a family because they can’t afford to shop in their home country, it’s pretty sad,” said Best. “Unfortunately most people are looking at a cheaper dollar and not looking at the consequences of a cheaper dollar down the road because we won’t be here.”

Leanne Haslam, owner of 4 Little Monkeys Consignment Boutique, agreed and said it’s a catch-22.

“As a shopper I think it’s a great idea, but as a business owner, I think it’s a bad idea,” Haslam stated. “Sometimes I think when people can save by

buying cheaper, they can spend more money in their local (businesses) they might not have before, like going to a coffee shop or watching a movie.”

Owners for Thistle Pot Gifts, Bree Lockhart and Cheryl Savaia, are also upset.

“It’s awful and we could go out of business if they keep this up,” noted Lockhart. “We’re barely making it as is.”

Savaia said she first heard about the change in tax exemptions on a report on TV. “They said this could effect border towns but as far as I’m concerned border towns are already affected,” Savaia said.

“This makes it much worse.

Tons of people already go out to Colville during the weekend to do their shopping.”

Grand Forks is located near two border crossings: the Carson/Danville border in the west and the Cascade/Laurier border just before Christina Lake.

A DIVISION OF BLACK PRESS – PRINTED EVERY WEDNESDAY. Mailing address: Box 700, Grand Forks, B.C. V0H 1H0 Street address: 7255 Riverside Drive, Grand Forks

❚ Our View

Shopping local more important than ever The concept of supporting local business is nothing new to Grand Forks.

The phrase is used not only by business owners and the regional chamber but The Gazette has talked extensively about it as well.

But once again, the shop local drum must be beat as Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and the Federal Conservative government has increased the amount of tax exemptions in the recent budget.

Beginning in June, Canadians heading across the border for more than 24 hours and less than 48 will be able to return with $200 of tax-exempt goods – the amount was previously $50.

Canadians in the U.S. for 48 hours or more will see the amount they are able to bring back upped from $400 to $800 and Canadians in the States for more than a week will be able to bring $800 worth of items, which is an increase of $50 from the previous amount.

Seeing as Grand Forks is very close to a number of border crossings – the Carson/Danville crossing and the Cascade/Laurier crossing near Christina Lake – some local business owners are justifiably concerned.

It seems the cost of everything is on the rise – another rise in the price of gas is expected for the summer, according to reports – and many are having trouble keeping pace.

The federal government may have made it more attractive financially to shop across the border with the rise in exemptions but it’s vital that people stay in the area to shop.

While gas might be cheaper across the line, you still waste fuel and increase your carbon footprint if you head across the border; besides, depending on where you go, you might actually be spending more on gas just to save money on groceries.

It is a circle of life of sorts when you spend your money and shop locally.

You spend money, businesses can afford to keep their businesses running and buy business-related items locally and everyone benefits.

Shopping across the border might seem attractive, especially with the recent increases in exemptions introduced by the federal government, as people can now bring back more but in the long run, local businesses will be hurt and some may be forced out of business.

The more that happens, the closer Grand Forks will come to a ghost town and there’s nothing attractive about that.

Question of the Week from www.grandforksgazette.ca Have you noticed a marked drop in crime in Grand Forks?

YES 20%

If it sounds to good to be true . . .

There have been some interesting stories surrounding the Mega Millions lottery in the United States, particularly in the state of Maryland.

The jackpot was at a record $656 million.

According to reports, three people in that state had the winning ticket, two teachers and an administrative worker, and although state law doesn’t require them to reveal their identities, they said they would continue to work.

Then there is a lady by the name of Mirlande Wilson, a McDonald’s employee, who claimed to have the winning ticket but thus far, has not been able to produce it although she did claim it was stashed somewhere at her workplace.

She was apparently in a workplace lottery pool but the winner wasn’t amongst the tickets she bought with employees, which

❚ Yu Speak

KARL YU

has some of her co-workers both doubting and angry.

Closer to home, there is once again word that someone is taking part in a telephone scam and attempting to bilk people, including senior citizens, of money.

The scam artists are reportedly from Jamaica and are apparently calling people and claiming they won a lottery but in order for the “winners” to claim a prize, they must send money somewhere.

Such schemes are nothing new and there have been many calls from authorities for people to be more vigilant when it comes to claims of winning the lottery but

the sad thing is people continue to fall for these sorts of scams.

Winning a huge cash jackpot like Mega Millions or Lotto Max here in Canada would be nice and who couldn’t use a little more cash in the account?

However, no one should have to contribute more than the price of a lottery ticket Having to spend anything more than that should immediately raise red flags and you should steer clear.

The world is full of get-richquick schemes and while it isn’t out of the question to actually strike it rich in a short period of time, the instances of that are usually fewer and far between.

But the world is also full of people that are looking to take advantage of the gullible with promises of immediate riches.

Keep in mind that if it’s too good to be true, it probably is.

LETTERS ❚ COMMERCE

Business sense Editor: The regional chamber of commerce has again stepped up with a new coalition to bring positive feedback for local businesses, which need support in the “shop local” mantra.

Sadly, there are areas that are not on the radar.

I know five people who would like to start a business, two who are moving it home and two changing locations.

All have the same complaint – landlords charging exorbitant rent. This is 2012, not 1962. There is a whole new demographic in town. Get real!

Where do you think Grand Forks is? I’m looking forward to the phase two development at Extra Foods.

You may hire family and friends but is untrained best for your success? We suffer from the old adage “Management can’t teach what management does not know.”

Employees are not paid to be a detriment. At work, your biases, prejudices, family issues, politics, religion and culture are irrelevant and immaterial.

A deadpan stare doesn’t make it; a smile and a form of recognition (“Hello” etc.) are expected – you are not doing me a favour, so if you have to, fake it. If you can’t? Find another line of work.

Sadly, there are no courses at Community Futures or Selkirk College to assist with a training program. In this day and age, find something online to learn the basics, please!

Privacy and confidentiality are two other areas in severe need of upgrading. What happens in one business does not stay in that business. I had numerous conversations with people who have taken most of their personal business out of town. They all feel a definite lack of privacy. Sick negative gossip, what shallow empty lives you lead.

Keep one thing in mind, Market Avenue is less than 90 minutes away from Trail, Castlegar and Osoyoos.

It’s time to mature, people.

Make your move, it’s your business not mine. Support the chamber by applying for a positive business attitude.

Mack Mackay, Grand Forks

❚ HISTORY

More hotel memories Editor: Re: Childhood at hotel (letter, March 28 issue of the Grand Forks Gazette) Gazette)

The letter from Bob McTavish in the March 28 Gazette regarding the Grand Forks Hotel prompted me to share a few memories of my own.

My parents bought the hotel in 1944 and yes, there were white linen tablecloths and serviettes on the tables as well as settings of silver cutlery.

Breakfast was 35 cents, lunch 65 cents and dinner 85 cents, soup and dessert included.

In 1948, when the downtown core was flooded, the water came up so quickly everything in the basement was either damaged or ruined, including the furnace and refrigeration unit for the bar. Although the water also receded quickly, the pumps ran for days to clear the basement. I still recall empty beer kegs floating around.

Fortunately the main floor was spared.

Upon the sudden death of my father in 1953, my mother and sister became the first women in B.C. to have their names on a liquor licence, enabling them to tend the bar and I followed when I became of age. That in itself was an experience! In 1956, she undertook a major renovation of the bar and some of my wedding pictures were taken there. Special permission had to be given by the Liquor Control Board to close the bar for the occasion.

Growing up in the hotel was a wonderful learning experience for me, although I didn’t realize or appreciate it until years later. Friendships were formed that extended years after my mom sold the hotel in 1959. It was a sad morning on March 7 when I heard the hotel was ablaze. I’ve yet to drive by and see the Grand Old Lady in ruins.

❚ ACCIDENT

Sleep deprived driving a crime Editor: Re: Sleep-deprived driver crashes through guard rail (story, April 11 issue of the Grand Forks Gazette)) Gazette With all due respect there should be more to reporting than just “who, what, when, where and why.”

I find it disturbing that nowhere in your account of the accident was there a question put by you to the officer, RCMP Const. Menno Van Agteren, as to whether the driver would be charged with any offense.

Even more disturbing is the suggestion that the accident should serve to “put out a warning that people shouldn’t

❚ OPINION drive if they’re tired.” Good grief, is that it? What about the statistic that falling asleep at the wheel is one of the top three causes of accidents and fatalities during the summer months?

On June 18, 2009, three innocent people lost their lives in Rock Creek when a driver fell asleep at the wheel and ploughed into them at a rest area at the side of the road: Hazel and Richard Lisowik were incredibly kind people, still remembered with affection by many, many people; Stephen Gilsenan, a tourist, was with them – as was his wife and son.

Can you imagine the horror?

The driver of the vehicle, Ying Tsu Chen, was convicted in November 2010. He was fined $1,800 and received a 15-month driving suspension, which means he’s now able to resume driving and carry on with his life. Not so for Hazel, Richard and Stephen.

Accidents happen, yes, but to get behind the wheel of a car after only 20 minutes of sleep in 24 hours is criminal.

❚ POLITICS

Cummins and B.C. party not real Tories Editor: It’s truly shameful that John Cummins and his B.C. Conservative party are trying to fool the public into believing they are the same party as Stephen Harper’s Federal Conservatives. They are not! In fact, their leader, John Cummins, voted NDP in the last provincial election.

Chuck Strahl, Stockwell Day, Preston Manning and other true conservatives have made it clear that they do not support Mr. Cummins or his divisive provincial party in any way.

True conservatives like Strahl and Day understand the importance of maintaining a strong pro-business, fiscally conservative, pro-jobs political coalition here in B.C., one that will keep the province’s middle class healthy and strong.

So please don’t be fooled by a name. Voting B.C. Conservative is not the same as voting for Stephen Harper’s federal Conservatives. Voting for the B.C. Conservatives is basically the same as voting NDP. The only genuinely conservative, free enterprise vote in B.C. is a vote for the free enterprise B.C. Liberal coalition we already have.

Trash to Treasure will reduce waste Mark your calendars.

Saturday, April 21 is Trash ❚ In to Treasure Day. the Have good items that Spotlight are no longer useful to you? Put them at your IRENE curb for others to pick up PEREPOLKIN and put to good use. This event seems to be gaining popularity, not only on this weekend, but also throughout the year, as items are being put out with free signs on them.

What a wonderful way to share gently-used products we no longer have use for with others and thus, saving our landfills.

In conjunction with this event, we will be having a onetime only chance to have your metal objects that are piling up in yards and fields picked up at no charge.

Anything metal qualifies for this pick up: fridges, farm implements, barbecues, propane tanks, wire as well as vehicles, etc. The contractor will come directly to your address and take anything metal off your hands. With the cost for tipping fees at the landfill about to rise, now is the perfect time to take advantage of this service.

Arrangements have been made with a contractor (with no money coming from the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary or the customer to perform this service). Arrangements must be made ahead of time by calling a toll free number, 1-877-777-8354, to make pick up arrangements.

Pick-up dates will be for the week of Sunday, April 22.

Just a reminder that the RDKB has bylaws in place, regarding derelict, unlicensed vehicles on a property that have been enforced in the past. It would be the perfect time to prevent forceful removal.

As mentioned, tipping fees at the landfill will be increasing this year. This increase is necessary to cover the cost of handling the waste materials and maintenance etc.

We are often questioned as to why we need to pay these fees. If the tipping fee were to be removed it would cost each household 40 per cent more for this service through taxation. Presently RDKB Area D is on a user pay system, meaning that if you generate the garbage, you pay to dispose of it.

The proposed increases to take the garbage to the landfill yourself are as follows. One bag goes from $2 to $3, construction materials from $130 to $150 and yard/garden waste from $2 to $3. To avoid paying this increase in Areas C and D you can have your bags picked up by Kettle Valley Waste as a user pay – this works out to $2.86 per bag. By driving to the landfill yourself, you will not only have to pay more in fees but if you include the price of gas as well . . . I am sure you can do the math.

To get this service, call 1-877-447-9265 to get your tags and make arrangements for pick up.

More and more materials can now be recycled as well, minimizing the amount of items having to be disposed of as regular garbage. A blue bag system for this service was implemented by the RDKB several years ago. While it is being used more and more, there are still residents who do not take advantage of this service or choose not to recycle for whatever reason. Once you start it, it becomes instinctual and you automatically do it. You are paying for this service by taxation so it seems one should take advantage of it. Every other week, bags are picked up at your curb or road end. Place your items in a blue bag to indicate recycle.

Unfortunately there are still areas that are not being serviced and thus not taxed for this. It is hoped that we will expand this to include all areas of the region soon. To find out if this service is in your area, call the Environmental Services Department of the RDKB at 1-800-355-7352.

Happy spring and let’s get the junk out of our yards and make this a clean beautiful valley.

– Irene Perepolkin is Area D director for the RDKB.

School board discusses next year’s finances School District 51 hosted a public meeting to discuss finances, funding protection for 2012/2013.

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

School District 51 (SD51) announced their 2012-2013 funding during a public meeting last week on April 12 at the School Board Office.

In 2012-2013, there will be changes to the funding, which includes a loss 1.5 per cent funding per year until funding protection disappears.

With funding protection ($504,190), SD51 will be receiving $15,482,066 next year, which is 98.5 per cent of last year’s budget.

In the subsequent years, with the 1.5 per cent decrease, SD51 will receive $15,249,835 in 2013/2014 and $15,021,087 in 2014/2015. “I’m thinking funding protection may disappear in year four, but with enrolment decline, it could be a few more years,� explained Jeanette Hanlon, secretary-treasurer for SD51. “We need 74 students to get out of funding protection.�

Hanlon noted that funding protection is both good and bad. “If we get more students, we don’t have any more income coming in but we might have to have a classroom,� she explained.

Board chair Teresa Rezansoff added, “If the ministry keeps increasing the per pupil amount, that would push us out quickly. So if we had 73 kids in, we’d have to absolve them within those dollars.�

SD51 is one of 42 school districts that are currently in funding protection since the 2006-2007 school year.

There are only 18 districts not in funding protection in the province.

The

Other changes include geographical factors that have benefited SD51 because the Ministry of Education has included transportation funding into it based on student location factor.

Along with the $20,000 for transportation funding, SD51 also received a supplement. “We did get a one-time supplement for the Education Plan of $27,478,� said Hanlon. “They haven’t announced what the criteria for that spending is yet, but it will be announced in a couple weeks.�

The Learning Improvement Fund, which is additional funding for classroom enhancement, has also seen an increase due to savings during the three-day teacher strike to $199,288.

Superintendent of Schools Michael Strukoff stated that the operating savings will kept in the education sector. “Originally when they announced this fund, it was $30 million year one, $60 million year two and $75 million year three and going forward,� he said. “Money that was saved from the teacher job action strike, $30 million will be added to year one. It’s going from $30 to $60 million.

Originally we only had $99,000, so that’s why it’s almost $200,000, they’ve added the extra $30 million.�

In total, SD51 will be receiving $199,288 for the Learning Improvement Fund for 2012/2013 year. “How they came up with that amount, is they took how much of the provincial budget you get and divided it up that way,� stated Hanlon. “From the $7 million in provincial savings, during the strike, the district gets to keep (what we saved). Our savings is estimated to be around $20,000.�

According to Hanlon, the $199,288 is for support for the classroom, either teacher time, educational assistant

support, health care assistant support or Pro-D. “It has to be approved by the board and teachers will have input on classroom design and what support they will need,� she added. “It will be decided between our principals and the teachers will come up with a plan.

Some of that will have to be saved because come September, reality is usually different than what it looked like at June.�

The province had initially put $165 million towards the settlement of Bill 27 and 28, which dealt with class size and composition.

SD51 to update school roofs and purchase new bus CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

A district re-design was discussed at the last School District 51 (SD51) board meeting (see page 3) here are some other news items.

Updates to roofs School trustees have passed a Capital Project Bylaw to proceed with plans to update school roofs and HVAC (heating ventilation and air conditioning) within schools.

“We need to pass a bylaw where 70 per cent of it is for capital and 30 per cent is for operating,” explained Jeanette Hanlon, secretary-treasurer at SD51. “Last year was the first year where we had to pass a bylaw because it was capital expenditures, which is $397,374. Most of the capitol expenditures will be spent on roofing (and HVAC control upgrades).”

Superintendent of Schools Michael Strukoff added, “They’re never done all at once, because some schools are added on so there are different sections that are different ages, which is why it appears in pieces.”

Hanlon pointed out that even though

capital could be used elsewhere, most of it will go to roofing.

“We are able to spend money on other projects, but our plans have always been that we want to take care of our roofs so that we don’t have problems in the rest of the building,” she said.

The roofs will be updated at Hutton Elementary, Grand Forks Secondary School and Boundary Central Secondary School (BCSS) and will occur during the summer.

New school bus SD51 passed a motion at the last school board meeting on April 10 to spend capital on the purchase of a new school bus for the next school year.

The bus will be a Bluebird bus and will use capitol monies of $127,370.60.

“We usually have a few spares and sell the older buses when we get a new one,” stated Hanlon.

There are 11 buses running throughout the school district, with four standby buses, two in the east and two in the west.

Functional course at BCSS BCSS was awarded a one-time grant to engage special education students in an innovative and interactive class.

Led by Dr. Linda Dolezsar, a teacher at

Dr. Linda Dolezsar

BCSS, the class looks at blended learning which involves face-to-face instruction, online learning, guided stimulations and community experiences.

“These are students who are severely disabled so during my classes I was teaching functional curriculum on daily living skills along with independence in the community,” said Dolezsar.

Dolezsar pointed out that the class engages the students and teaches them about social skills.

One of the community stores was McMynn’s where students learned about expiration dates and checking the different products.

At Parkview Manor, the students learned about food serving etiquette, cof-

fee making and how to use the elevators.

“The expectation is to sustain it, which we can easily do but it was just a matter of getting it going,” Dolezsar said. “The curriculum is so well developed now that we can just keep adding to it. I already have a whole bunch of people in mind to extend the partnerships out too.”

Trustee Cathy Riddle noted, “It’s exciting to see because we always say ‘no child left behind.’ Basically all the skills we take for granted are being offered to them.”

Dolezsar will be attending a Rural Teachers symposium at the University of British Columbia on May 5 to present her findings.

❚ POLICE REPORT

Local RCMP warns residents about phone scams CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Phone and Internet scams from Jamaica Grand Forks RCMP have recently received information about several residents receiving phone calls and internet solicitations from Jamaica linked to fraud.

“What’s happening is people are receiving calls from Jamaica saying they won a lottery or sweepstakes or some other contest,” explained Grand Forks RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. “That person needs to send money in order to receive cash prize.”

According to Harrison, it is a very

popular scam and he warns residents to beware.

“If you ever receive a call like that saying you’ve won something but have to send in money to get the prize, beware,” he added. “Legitimate contests don’t ask people to send money in order to claim a prize.”

“If it sounds too good to be true, then it’s too good to be true,” Harrison said.

“What is a concern to us is that a lot of these scams tend to target our seniors. We have had cases in this community where thousands of dollars have been lost by senior citizens and it’s caused tremendous grief in families because elderly people are

Earth Day: an international event On Sunday, April 22, more than 500 million people will celebrate Earth Day. This important environmental event is an attempt to mobilize the planet and remind everyone that even small gestures are essential to save our environment.

Created by Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970, Earth Day unites individuals, organizations, and businesses in the same environmental challenge: the reduction of our ecological footprint. For 42 years now, various cultural and educational activities have been organized around the world to raise people’s awareness of environmental

issues, and in particular to promote and encourage concrete actions that will reduce the ecological footprint of human beings.

An ecological footprint is the measure of human demand on land and water to supply the resources a human population consumes as well as the absorption of the resulting waste. No one will be surprised to learn that the current demand on natural resources is not sustainable: global consumption is such that more than one planet would be necessary to satisfy our current demand!

Earth Day is the ideal occasion to do something concrete for the environmental cause.

Planting a tree, using public transport, recycling, reusing, and composting are all gestures that will have a positive impact on the environment.

Earth Day is the time to get moving on this issue, to act now, for ourselves and for future generations.

Cleaning up your yard is a great way to celebrate Earth Day on April 21st!

COMMUNITY ❚ RICK HANSEN RELAY

Rock Creek’s Madison honoured to be part of relay DEBBIE MADISON Submitted

Daniel Madison grew up in Rock Creek from Grade 8 on, and chose to make it his home after high school. He was very involved in drama at Boundary Central Secondary School, and continued enjoying this pursuit after graduating, participating in community theatre.

He was very involved in sports and other extracurricular activities, was the rugby captain, and was valedictorian of his graduating class and won athletic and mathematics awards as well.

Daniel was in a single motor vehicle accident on an icy road in March 2008.

It happened around 11:30 p.m., he was thrown from the vehicle and wasn’t discovered until 7:15 a.m. the next day.

He suffered a head trauma and multiple bodily injuries, including two broken femurs, a broken hip, sacral bone and a smashed pelvis.

It was about -10 C that night, his body temperature had dropped to 22 C, and he was barely alive.

He remembers being out of his body and looking down at himself during the night. We were told that he died four times in the helicopter on the way to the hospital.

He wasn’t expected to survive and when we received the police report a few weeks later, the officer said that

Daniel Madison

she “was looking for a timeline for the tombstone.”

After a week and a half and two CT scans, the doctors said 75 per cent of his brain was black and if he did survive, he would be a vegetable.

He suffered pneumonia and remained in a coma for close to three months but slowly came out of it for many months after that. He spent 10 months in hospitals, 17 months in Alberta Brain Injury rehab and returned to B.C. to spend one year in rehab transition.

He has now been home with his family for the last year, continuing his medical and other treatment, including water therapy, physiotherapy, and Lokomat, which is walking on a treadmill in a harness with robotic legs. Daniel will need ongoing therapy but his prognosis is excellent. We are happy to say that Daniel’s memory, intellect, and personality

are completely intact.

Due to the hospital staff not expecting him to survive, there was a lack of appropriate intervention, leading to Daniel’s arms being crippled, and he suffered a second stroke when given too much blood thinner.

His recovery had been long and slow, due to these and other circumstances.

He has just reached the four-year mark in his recovery and is making steady progress. Daniel has remained positive and happy throughout this journey. One of his favourite quotes is that, “Character is gained in the valley not on top of the mountain” and he knows his recovery is a mountain that he will have to climb, but he has faith that God will see him through.

Daniel is honoured to be chosen and excited about coming to Rock Creek to be a medal bearer for the 25th anniversary Rick Hansen Man in Motion Tour on Saturday, April 28.

The tour arrives in Grand Forks on Thursday, April 26 and departs on Saturday, April, 28 at 8 a.m.

He is working very hard with his physiotherapist to be able to walk the 250 metres with assistance.

Daniel and his family would like to take this opportunity to thank our family, friends and community of the West Boundary for all of the love and support they have shown us, and continue to show us, throughout this journey.

Gazette Reporter

The Christina Lake Stewardship Society (CLSS) is seeking community participation through a new project with Small Change Fund called Keep Christina Lake Clean and Beautiful.

Small Change Fund is an organization that helps communities raise money for projects through small investments.

Brenda LaCroix, stewardship co-ordinator and project manager, explained that CLSS heard about the organization through communications with Wildsight Canada.

Keep Christina Lake Clean and Beautiful looks to educate residents on how to manage a successful watershed and about septic leachate and the degradation of water quality.

Leachate is liquid extracts solutes or any other component when passing through matter.

LaCroix stated they hope to raise $5,000 to buy 300 septic inspection dye kits for foreshore property owners.

Foreshore property owners are homeowners that have waterfront homes.

“I think that the funding request will be online for a few months but it would be nice to receive the funds for this project so that we can hand out the kits this summer,” she said.

“We hope that land owners that live along the lake and stream systems will use these kits to ensure that our watershed water quality is in healthy condition not only for humans but for all species.”

Part of the problem is the rising numbers of homeowners and tourists, the increase of plant growth and unusual algae blooms, which may also be caused by faulty septic systems polluting the lake.

Award-winning author and CBC host Grant Lawrence in Grand Forks for a reading HABOUR PUBLISHING Submitted

Join CBC host Grant Lawrence for a reading and slide show, featuring his bestselling book Adventures In Solitude: What Not to Wear to a Nude Potluck and Other Stories from Desolation Sound at the Grand Forks and District Public Library, 7342 5th Street, Grand Forks on Tuesday, April 24 at 6:30 p.m.

Lawrence has become a well-known voice across Canada for his CBC Radio 3 podcast and his appearances on CBC Radio One programs such as DNTO, Spark, All Points West and On the Coast, and fans of independent music still turn up an old song from a record by The Smugglers, Grant’s defunct rock band.

Grant’s first book, Adventures in Solitude, has become a national bestseller and literary award-winner. In 2011, he took home a B.C. Book Prize, and was nominated for the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction, along with the prestigious Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Non-fiction.

In Adventures in Solitude, Grant shares how Desolation Sound shaped his life in music and the history of Canada.

Coast B.C.’s Desolation Sound marine park in the 1970s, just in time to encounter the gun-toting cougar lady, leftover hippies, outlaw bikers and an assortment of other characters.

It was these early experiences, many alongside an influential hermit named Russell, which led Grant to a life of music and journalism far away from Desolation Sound.

In his book, Grant returns to regale us with tales of “going bush,” the tempting dilemma of finding an unguarded growop, and other laugh-out-loud stories from this unique place.

In addition to his radio appearances, Grant Lawrence hosts many major music events, such as the Polaris Music Prize Gala, the Western Canadian Music Awards and various festivals around North America, and conducts music industry seminars and keynote addresses on music and media related topics.

He still spends much of each summer at his cabin in the Sound.

❚ RURAL ISSUES

Rural issues raised at meeting with NDP MLA, candidate Concerns about renewable resources and health care were discussed during the meeting.

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Residents in Grand Forks gathered at Selkirk College on April 12 to address concerns about renewable resource management and health care in rural areas.

In attendance, NDP MLA Katrine Conroy for Kootenay West and NDP candidate Marji Basso for Boundary-Similkameen listened to residents concerns.

Organized by Barry Brandow Sr., the meeting had residents speaking about rural issues including deer management, hunting regulations, senior care and health care.

“I’ve been upset with the B.C. Liberal government for a long time,” stated Brandow. “I’m upset at the renewable resource management because it’s an unmitigated disaster. As rural British Columbians we are surrounded by policy we see as good, which isn’t a lot, the bad and the ugly. When we have legitimate problems, we have a right to address our MLAs to bring our issues forward.”

My issue is that the problems are so extensive in the renewable resource sector that I’m not sure we can turn around.

Conroy, former MLA for Kootenay Boundary region, stated she heard a large number of people concerned about the wildlife and resource management of wildlife.

“As a rural caucus and a rural MLA we’re going around listening to what people have to say to see what is working and what isn’t working and making sure we understand from the perspectives of people who live here,” she said.

“From what I hear, the issues around wildlife management aren’t working for many people in this community. We need to relook at the issue and see what we can do to make it work.”

Conroy pointed out the cuts to funding have pushed conservation officers to be responsible for other issues like forest management.

“The stuff that comes from the land will sustain us for many, many years to come and if we don’t treat it with the respect that it deserves then we’re all going to be in trouble,” she stated.

Basso agreed, “I learned the Boundary region has some issues with resource management, and that you have some people here that are very passionate and have worked very hard over a long period of time and they feel their voices aren’t heard.”

In particular, Basso understands that the Gilpin Grasslands are an issue, as well as deer populations and mule deer.

Along with resource management, Conroy and Basso noted there were also issues regarding

senior care and health care.

“There are big issues in regards to the lack of beds and lack of care and cuts to the hospital,” stated Conroy. “I hear that across rural B.C. and as a rural MLA, that’s wrong. Nobody expects everything in their own community but they at least expect the basics.”

Basso also pointed out that health care is an issue across the province, especially in rural communities.

“We have to look at a way to provide the basics in a community so that they can get the health care they deserve,” Conroy concluded. “And for seniors, they built this country and they should be treated with the dignity they deserve in the last years of their lives.”

❚ POETRY

Poets in bloom at library on Thursday night LORRAINE GORDON Submitted

Along with the usual showers, April also brings poetry to Grand Forks.

Poetry is enjoying a rebirth with the increasing number of readings, festivals, book displays and poetry slams testifying to the vital place of poetry in our culture.

Fourteen years ago, the League of Canadian Poets (LCP) established April as National Poetry Month in Canada. Literary organizations, publishers, booksellers, libraries and schools celebrate poetry and poets across the country.

The Grand Forks Writers Guild is celebrating National Poetry Month with a Poetry Café at the Grand Forks and District Public Library, to be held this Thursday, April 19, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Admission is free and everyone, from students to seniors, is welcome to attend.

It’s another chance to read aloud poems that you’ve written yourself, or selections of poetry written by the great and famous poets throughout history.

You can also just sit back, relax, and listen, for one brief hour of poetry and fun. After all, what’s a Poetry Café without an audience?

Joan Thompson (centre), director of the Grand Forks Choral Society and Sopranos & Co., is putting the finishing touches on All You Need is Love, which will go April 28 and 29 at the Grand Forks Secondary School auditorium. Thompson is pictured here with mother Mary and father Ray.

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Nelson-produced KHAOS opera will be arriving in Grand Forks on May 11 as one of the stops on its Kootenay tour.

From top to bottom, the production of the opera is 100 per cent local.

“Every opera in the world has a dream in the back of its mind of someday doing a commission, but it certainly seemed far-fetched for a little opera company in Nelson to do such a thing until I realized that we had a real life composer living in Nelson,” recalled KHAOS Producer Marty Horswill.

Once composer Don Macdonald and librettist Nicola Harwood signed onto the production, the two looked at various story ideas.

Originally, Harwood and Macdonald were looking for a story about the Kootenays that they could make into the opera, but nothing suitable appeared.

“During that process, they came up with the idea for KHAOS (pronounced chaos),” said Horswill. “The story is a re-imagining of the ancient Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone.”

In Greek mythology, Demeter was the goddess of fertility and Persephone was her daughter.

Hades, god of the Underworld, falls in love with Persephone and whisks her away with him when Demeter denies his request for marriage.

Demeter becomes distraught and stops bringing fertility to the earth, and it slowly turns cold, dries out and people starve.

After the outcry of other gods, Demeter and

Hades come to a compromise in which Persephone will spend six months with her mother and six months with Hades, hence the Greeks’ understanding of the seasons.

“Our story takes that myth and says, how would that myth be told in our times with global warming and looming environmental catastrophes,” stated Horswill. “How would the myth change?”

Since KHAOS premiered in Nelson, it has gained attention from CBC Radio and the Globe and Mail.

“It was our goal (to get attention), but I can’t honestly say I expected it to happen,” Horswill chuckled. “We’re extraordinarily gratified that it did, and it will certainly help the opera house have a longer life and a quicker acceptance in other places. We were very surprised by the attention.”

Horswill hopes that the opera will be given enough public attention to be picked up by another opera company and reproduced elsewhere.

“We’re certainly excited to bring the show to Grand Forks and I expect that we’ll have one of the most energetic audiences in the period among small towns like Grand Forks and Creston,” concluded Horswill.

KHAOS will be arriving in Grand Forks on May 11 at 8 p.m. at the Grand Forks Secondary School auditorium.

The opera will also be performed in Trail on May 12 at 8 p.m. and at Creston on May 13 at 2:30 p.m.

ARTS ❚ MARTIN’S MOVIE PICK

Meryl Streep brilliant as The Iron Lady LIZ MARTIN Submitted

Well good people, The Iron Lady is out for our viewing and it is about the first female Prime Minister of Great Britain, Margaret Thatcher, who is said to be the longest-serving prime minister of the 20th Century.

I was born and raised in Scotland, so her period of leading is one I am quite familiar with.

A strong, determined woman indeed, not always popular with the masses, but definitely leadership material.

Unfortunately, the beginning of The Iron Lady depicts Margaret as a much older

woman, not quite the healthy robust one we are all familiar with.

Naturally I was a bit disappointed, but of course the movie moves back and forward, showing you some of her early life and how she rose to this exalted position etc.

She was the daughter of a grocer and that fact is discussed a bit in England, which was somewhat snobbish at the time.

A lot of people wondered how the daughter of a mere grocer could win a place at the University of Oxford and then go on to great things.

Meryl Streep is absolutely convincing in this role; not one time did I hear her English accent falter and she really even

looked like her.

I believe Meryl sat in the Houses of Parliament to get a feel for her role and she certainly convinced me!

There are many other familiar faces, good British actors, playing her ministers but she really does steal the show. Her Oscar for Actress in a Leading Role this year was well earned.

In a way, I found it a sad story to see such a powerful woman hallucinating about her dear husband (played by Jim Broadbent) but even in her hallucinating period, she seemed very bright.

Her daughter appears to help her with father’s belongings while her twin brother Mark is living in South Africa at the time,

so we do not see him.

The marriage was very sound and Dennis Thatcher was a great supporter of his headstrong wife, helping her as much as he could, so of course when he died, she missed him terribly and is seen talking to his image at the beginning and throughout the movie.

The Falklands War was one of the notable moments in her career and is depicted well in the film; she went against many other opinions and won the day. I think because of my own heritage, I enjoyed watching this bit of history play out but it may not be of such interest to others.

However one could always give The Iron Lady a try.

This past weekend saw the start of the Boundary Youth Soccer Association’s (BYSA) second season and officials are ready for more of the beautiful game.

“There are 27 teams this year, we have five divisions for kids from four years old to 14,” explained BYSA President Jeff Olsen. “The groupings are four and five year olds, six and seven, eight and nine, 10 and 11s and 12, 13 and 14s.”

Olsen says that the number of players at the peak period last year was about 280 and while there are only 230 as of last Thursday, the registrants should be more dedicated as they know what to expect in terms of commitment.

“One of the strong messages we sent out was it’s a team sport. The team relies on you, the other team you’re playing

relies on you, everyone relies on people showing up and being part of a group,” said Olsen.

“Last year we were treated very much as a drop-in (sport). ‘I’ll come if I want to’ type thing, which was what soccer was in this area for quite a few years. We offer a really good thing for kids but we need the kids to be able to commit, we need the family to commit to bring the kids to the field, to carpool, to get them to the games.”

He said there were children who were not only signed up for soccer last year, but hockey and dance lessons as well, which can be taxing.

While the season has started, people can still register but the early birds have already received the worms and there are wait lists.

“On our website right now on the front page, you’ll see where the wait lists

are, so there are certain teams that have filled up without a doubt and we’re not going to overload them, that’s just not fair to the kids that are on the team, it decreases their play time,” Olsen said.

“There’ll always be room somewhere but it just may not be where you want it.”

Olsen also said that while volunteer spots are all filled up, if someone wants to help out, he will try to accommodate.

Based on feedback last year, he said that the children really enjoyed the sport.

“There was a lot of positive (comments). Just wandering around the field and talking to parents and the amount of email I got and people with their comments when they registered this year were all very positive,” Olsen went on to say. For more information, go to boundaryyouthsoccer.com.

BMO Financial Group launched the second season of its nationwide youth soccer program (BMO Team of the Week) on April 2.

The contest, open to youth soccer players ages 7 to 12, recognizes 15 weekly winners who demonstrate team pride, spirit, community commitment and passion for the game.

The 2012 Champion will be crowned this summer when Canadians cast their vote to select their favourite team from the 15 weekly winners.

The winning team will receive $125,000 towards a field refurbishment, a trip to see a Toronto FC, Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Montreal Impact or Canadian National Team home match and a $5,000 donation to the team’s charity of choice.

“The response we had last year to the BMO Team of the Week program was truly amazing, as 300,000 Canadians from communities across Canada – from Whitehorse, Yukon to Gabriola Island, B.C. to Hunter River, P.E.I. and everywhere

in between – voted for their favourite teams,” said Sandy Bourne, vice-president, corporate advertising and sponsorships, BMO Financial Group.

“We’ve heard from people across the country who have told us that the program has done an excellent job in promoting the value of participating in sport, along with the importance of being involved in the community. Our hope is that the achievements of last year’s winners will encourage other youth soccer teams across Canada to rise to the challenge and participate.”

For the next 15 weeks, Canadian soccer coaches, parents and community members can nominate their favourite youth soccer team aged 7 to 12 at BMOsoccer.com. BMO Team of the Week winners will be announced weekly starting on April 18 and will receive $500, Team of the Week tracksuits and a donation to a local charity.

Each of the winning teams will become finalists for the grand prize and Canadians can vote for the winner starting on Aug. 13 at BMOsoccer.com.

Obesity is a growing problem for children here in Canada as well as other countries. Two factors contribute to the problem of obesity, overeating and inactivity.

Children often eat the wrong types of food contributing to the obesity problem.

A parent who eats healthy and exercises is more likely to pass the habits onto their children.

A child’s health can improve in many ways by simply playing and having an hour a day of physical activity.

How much activity do children need? Children should participate in at least 60 minutes of physical activity, including activity that makes them “huff and puff,” each day.

To help children achieve this, they need opportunities to be active at school, after school and on weekends.

This activity doesn’t all have to be done at once.

It can be built up throughout the day by walking or riding their bikes to and from school, participating in more activities at school, active play at home or organized sports after school and on weekends.

As well as being active, it is important to remember to limit the amount of time that children spend watching “small screens,” such as televisions, playing on the Internet or computer games to a maximum of two hours a day.

*** “What can I do to help my children become more active?”

Be an active role model and have a positive attitude to being active. If your children see you enjoying physical activity and having fun, it can encourage them to participate.

Encourage active play in the backyard, going for a walk, dancing to music, riding a bike or more vigorous activities like running, swimming or playing sports.

Make time to be active as a family and enjoy the local park, go bike riding or walk the dog together.

Grand Forks Recreation (GFREC) has partnered with Sogo Active to offer a unique program to help get kids active and prepare them for a triathlon.

Just “Tri” It Kids triathlon training provides kids with the confidence, technique, endurance and strength to complete a triathlon and to gain the experience to someday participate in a triathlon.

The program is made up of two swim sessions, two bike sessions and one run session with the final session consisting of all three disciplines.

Start date for Just “Tri” It Kids triathlon training is Monday, May 28 with registration deadline Friday, May 18.

For more information on Just “Tri” It Kids triathlon training, give us a call at 250-442-2202 or email us at gfplay@rdkb.com.

OBITUARIES Canada needs a national dementia strategy JEAN BLAKE Alzheimer Society of B.C.

The recent World Health Organization (WHO) report “Dementia a Public Health Priority” has brought to the global stage the need for governments to develop a national dementia strategy, citing an “impending epidemic.”

To date, eight countries have created national Alzheimer’s disease plans: Australia, Denmark, France, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).

President Barack Obama has passed a national action plan to address Alzheimer’s disease.

In 2010, the Alzheimer Society released the Rising Tide study, presenting startling statistics about the projected prevalence of dementia and the social and economic impact that will be felt by all Canadians.

Here in British Columbia, the provincial government, regional health authorities and other stakeholders have been working together with the Alzheimer Society of B.C. to turn the rising tide of dementia, most notably with the expansion of the early intervention service First Link and the social and fitness program Minds in Motion for families impacted by Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia.

We’ve heard from those who have been able to access these services that they make a difference. We’ve also been listening to British Columbians who are saying more support and better care for persons with dementia and their caregivers are needed.

Our population is aging. The rising tide of dementia is fast upon us.

While B.C. should be considered a leader among Canadian provinces actively leading the charge for better dementia health care, more needs to be done.

With a provincial election upcoming, now is the time for stakeholders to reflect on our achievements to date and prepare for the next assault on an epidemic that threatens April 13-17, 2011 an impact of drastic proportions.

A special thank you to the amazing – Jean Blake is CEO generosity of our community and beyond of the Alzheimer Society for their donations of over $2,500 to of B.C.

In memory of

James William Deane Johnston

Dolly was born in Greenwood, B.C. on October 17, 1927 to Henry and Ruth Royce. The Royces moved to Powell River, B.C. and later moved back to Christina Lake, B.C. There Dolly met and married Edward Klinosky on February 9, 1946. They resided at Christina Lake until 1953, and there they had two sons. They then moved back to Greenwood and had two daughters. Dolly worked many years for Imai Bros. Electric in Greenwood.

She enjoyed curling, knitting, huckleberry picking and camping down at the river with her long time friend Lois Docksteader.

She is survived by her son Keith; daughters Joan (Dennis) Folvik and Jean (Dean) Higashi; grandchildren Mandy, Dustin, Kyle and Kailin; great-grandson Hunter, sister-in-law Cecilia Sandner and numerous nieces and nephews.

A very special thank you to all the staff at Hardy View Lodge and the girls in the Dialysis Unit for taking such good care of Dolly.

GRAND FORKS BAPTIST CHURCH

Notice of Passing GERALDINE ANN BROADFOOT October 8, 1938 to March 17, 2012 Geraldine Ann Broadfoot was granted her angel wings on March 17, 2012 at the Vancouver General Hospital.

She was 74. Her final days and hours were spent surrounded by her loving children.

Geraldine was born at Nelson, B.C. on October 8, 1938, the daughter of the late Candie and Jamie Broadfoot. Most of her adult life Geraldine lived at Grand Forks, B.C. Until her retirement, Geraldine worked at the Grand Forks Hospital. She was a member of the Catholic Women’s League.

Geraldine is survived by her five loving children (who dearly love and miss her): Kim, Dawn, Tracy, Guy, Cherie; She is the proud Grandmother of 7 and extremely proud Great Grandmother of 8; Geraldine will be deeply and sadly missed by her brother and sister-in law Albert & Denise Broadfoot, and her Aunt Nora Hunt, cousins Christine & Charlene Hunt and Charlene’s daughter Taylor. There are many, many others that will miss her deeply – her laughter, her singing, her dancing, her cooking, her amazing story telling, her smile, her love of animals and most of all her unconditional love which will not cease – even in her passing.

Tribute to you Mom from your children: Thinking of you Mom, but that is nothing new I thought about you yesterday, and the day before that too, I’ll think about you tomorrow, and as the years come and go I’ll think about you forever, because I love you so.

We pray that in heaven there will be rainstorms and a sandy beach with a soft ocean breeze, the sound of raindrops on a tin roof and the sound of wind-chimes blowing in the wind – till we see you again face-to face...

Love forever and always Kim, Dawn, Tracy, Guy & Cherie.
