Making the ‘cut’

Before and after: Jim Hartley (left and centre) had his head shaved in a Relay for Life fundraising event on Market Avenue in Grand Forks on Saturday (Daffodil Day), with the assistance of Pam Hall. Hartley lost a pair of friends to cancer and has been growing his hair in their honour for about three years. He had a target goal of $2,000 and reached it. He was joined by friend Blair Grant (right) who also had his head shaved. More pictures and video at www.grandforksgazette.ca. KARL YU PHOTOS

Popoff dropped by BC Conservatives

KARL YU

Gazette Editor

Mere days after an all-candidates meeting in Grand Forks, the BC Conservatives announced Mischa Popoff was no longer their candidate in the Boundary-Similkameen riding. Popoff writes opinion pieces for newspapers in the Okanagan area and was said to have made some objectionable remarks in some of the columns. He was said to have remarked that the Missing Women Inquiry, which looked into the women that went missing in Vancouver’s downtown eastside in the case against Robert Pickton, was a waste of time. He was also have said to criticize single mothers for raising children without the help of a man. “Mr. Popoff’s various comments were insensitive and disrespectful, particularly to women and single mothers who are, in fact, heroes to their children and their communities in many cases,” the BC Conservatives said in a release dated April 25. “We are a party that believes in a respectful airing of views. Mr. Popoff’s statements

were unacceptable and he has been removed as a candidate.” Popoff for his part said he wasn’t going to apologize and explained what he meant to the Gazette. “The commission on missing women was a complete waste of time for the simple fact that there was no disciplinary action taken against the police ... What was the change that occurred after this lengthy inquiry? Nothing,” Popoff said. “Forty-nine women died and nobody gets ﬁred and that was what I was saying. I didn’t say the missing women were not to be worried about, I said the inquiry was a waste of time,” he said. Popoff also clariﬁed his comment about single mothers. “The statistics show, entering into single motherhood is a very bad idea. If you’re like my mom, and you end up divorced, well that’s a different matter. First of all, that can’t be helped but the statistics also bear out that those kids are better off. Kids are better with two parents and I guess you could even argue they’re better with same-sex parents, as long as there’s two of them. Everything’s better

MISCHA POPOFF

with two parents. “I guess the way they worded it was I was running down or attacking single moms but no, I was promoting double parenting,” he said. The BC Conservatives party was contacted for further comment numerous times but had not responded as of press time. However, it did issue another release dated Sunday (April 28) discussing its screening process. “In light of last week’s revelation about two of our candidates, I ordered a full re-vetting of all BC Con-

servative candidates,” BC Conservative party leader John Cummins said in the release. “These are never easy situations for a campaign, but I believe that leaders must act proactively. As a result of this process the senior volunteer responsible for vetting has stepped down from that position … ” Popoff will still run as an Independent and he said that the BC Conservatives didn’t want to see the columns in question. “They vetted me, they knew I was a columnist, they knew I had been writing columns for the (Okanagan Valley Group of Newspapers) for seven years,” he said. At the April 23 all-candidates forum at Grand Forks Secondary School, Popoff angered some attendees with comments regarding teacher salaries, prompting some members of the audience to heckle him. Still, even though he is no longer representing the BC Conservatives, Popoff said he won’t change. “I’ll be doing things the same way. No one wants to hear the mushy middle where all the parties start sounding the same,” he said. General Voting Day is May 14.

2013 PROVINCIAL ELECTION z GRAND FORKS ALL-CANDIDATES FORUM

Marijuana, health care, education discussed

KARL YU

Gazette Editor

2013 provincial election candidates for the BoundarySimilkameen riding were in the spotlight, and some under fire, April 23 in Grand Forks at the all-candidates forum. Sam Hancheroff of the BC NDP, Linda Larson of the BC Liberals, Doug Pederson (Independent candidate) and Mischa Popoff then of the BC Conservatives, who has since become an Independent candidate (see page 1), all fielded questions from the media and public – Green Party of BC candidate John Kwasnica was unable to attend. On tangible solutions to health care problems Popoff: The problem we face in Canadian health care is simple. A hospital or a health region, they receive their budget up front. Everyone who comes through the door is now a liability and I wouldn’t ever suggest that a nurse or a doctor looks at someone who is sick as a liability – they want to treat them – that’s the Hippocratic Oath. But as a bureaucracy, a ministry with limited funding, you have to see that the way the model is set up, everyone who comes through the door is a liability and what you need to do is just switch that around so it’s still 100 per cent publicly funded and universal but that a hospital gets its budget as each patient comes in the door. Larson: Right now, we have an aging population. You don’t have to look around too many rooms these days to see that. I have a mother who’s 92, who lives with me. I know how many times she goes to the doctor or has a medical appointment. As we age, we do use our system an awful lot more but there are a couple of programs that started and I’ll just tell you about one quickly in my area (Oliver, B.C.) right now called CASI (Community Assisted Socializing Seniors Initiative). The provincial government gave money to the United Way. The United Way is the administrating act for programs in communities, where you can connect seniors with seniors, or seniors with other people in the community, keep them healthy longer by socializing and it’s working really, really well. They’ve had a renewal on their program. So they make sure seniors are phoned every day, somebody takes the time to speak to them to make sure that they’ve got groceries and just chats to them and that socializing alone will save us a huge amount of medical dollars because a lot of it is to do with having that social aspect to a senior’s life, especially when they’re alone. Hancheroff: Our NDP party has a good solution. Simply put, we have a lot of seniors. It is so important for these seniors, as they get older, to make sure they make the right decision. The right decision for a lot of them is to stay at home. Stay at home in their remaining years, when they’re 80, 90 whatever. This will save a lot of money for our areas, if we decide to provide home care. Our home care right now is terrible. They only get a few hours a day. For example, I have a cousin who’s 93 years old, she is staying at home. We visit her almost every time we come here. Ninety-three years old, think about that. She gets one hour a day. You know what? Every day she stays at home, it saves our health authority about $800 to $1,000 – that’s a lot of money. So that’s called healthy, preventative care, so if you want to save money, pay a little bit, let these seniors stay at home if they want to. Half the time, they don’t have help from their families because they don’t live here. Provide proper care for them; we’ll save a lot of money. Pederson: I have a couple of articles here based on health and one of them is on colloidal silver, the universal germicide – they use that on burn victims. You can make this stuff at home; I helped a neighbour just the other day with some real scars on his face. I’ve got another one here from the Common Ground (independent health magazine). What on earth is government doing to our health? That article there shows how dangerous, how many people die

from pharmaceuticals and it’s a major cause of death … We have to protect our health food industry and we have to get rid of some of the GMO (genetically modified organisms) stuff too for our health. On marijuana decriminalization and regulation Pederson: I think it should be mandatory, not just legalized. Anybody that’s really against marijuana knows less than zero; they know lies and propaganda. I would like to debate them on video. Any people that are really knowledgeable on either side, I’d like to talk about it. It’s one of our major issues; it’s the major cash crop in this area and where’s the money? Somebody’s laundering the money. It’s either through real estate, I hear they do it through gold. I don’t they should be put in jail but if we legalize it, it should be brought out and it should be amnesty on marijuana cash, because there’s got to be billions and billions. It’s the largest cash crop. How does that money disappear? We need the auditors to go out there and find that stuff. Hancheroff: I believe in the NDP policy. It’s a federal jurisdiction. They should decriminalize it according to us, so that’s my opinion. Larson: This is always one of those questions that is a very difficult one. My generation, we didn’t think it was a great idea to make it legal and I know a lot of seniors that aren’t that crazy about making it a legal entity. I don’t think that a 16-year-old should become a criminal (if police find some on them). It is a federal jurisdiction and I’m still of the old school; I’m not crazy about making this a legal entity and I’m just going to be honest about it. We’ll leave it in the hands of the federal government and those that make those kinds of decisions. Popoff: I concur, it’s a federal jurisdiction and on the idea though, let’s face it, there’s some red states down south of us, Republican states, that have either decriminalized or basically opened the door so wide open that it’s effectively decriminalized as indeed it is already here in B.C. Whatever course we take, as a nation or as a province, and we don’t have to wait for anyone to decriminalize it or anything, we need to make sure kids don’t do marijuana and if there is anything going down that road, if it looks like that’s going to happen on the horizon, you have to make sure no one under the age of 21 uses marijuana. Popoff was questioned by an audience member what age he tried it, to which he responded: “In my late-20s, I tried marijuana and liked it so much I remained addicted to it for two years. “I wouldn’t wish anyone, whether their in their 20s or their teens to go down that road but having done it, I’m in no position, as Linda has pointed out, to throw some 16-year-old in jail just because they did it, so it’s a trying issue.”

On education funding Pederson: I do support you for the one reason that there are so few good jobs left in the valley and we can’t be outsourcing everything because you have fairly good salaries, I support you and we need more good jobs, well paying jobs, not foreign labour. Hancheroff: The NDP government (if elected) is going to put money on the table for education. We need to hire more teachers. We have, in our school system, classes with composition that is difficult for a lot of teachers to teach. When I was teaching, I might have anywhere from four to five students that are special needs. They need help and it’s difficult to provide help in the classroom of 25, with four special needs kids, who are at risk, that one teacher has a difficult time … We need to provide more opportunities and hire more people. It’s also important to realize that the government’s role is to help provide the resources for public education … To me, the most important thing are kids. We must have proper funding to make sure that all kids have the same educational environment to learn. Larson: Education and health, those are always the two things that touch most of us closest to our hearts but we already put $4.7 to $5 billion into school right now. Another $4 million or so is going in again this year. There are 60,000 less students now then there were 12 years ago. A lot of them have come out of the rural areas. There is no easy solution to this, there just isn’t. I think that other than trying to move the existing envelope around, inside the school districts, but you have to know that that’s an awful lot of money that’s going out there and an awful lot less students that are now in our system. Popoff: Education is important, teachers are important, farms are important, plumbers are important. My wife works for Revenue Canada, she’s been there for 10 years. You should never discuss your wages publicly because she makes $56,000. If she was a teacher, she’d be making $74,000. We’re spending enough on education right now. Don’t worry, now some teachers are over-worked, you have to deal with that within the school. That’s the principal’s responsibility not the Ministry of Education. And one thing on this issue, as well as with agriculture, and again, you can’t blame anyone at this table, but whenever Adrian Dix and Christy Clark talk about how important education is, they talk about how much money they put into it and they don’t talk about how much goes into administration and bureaucracy or right into the ministry itself and doesn’t even make it down to the teachers. I just beat teachers up for being well paid and I don’t think they should ask for any more but at the same time, what hypocrisy from the leadership of the main parties in this province ... The last note I want to ask Sam, Where’s Adrian Dix going to get this money? John Kwasnica, Green Party of BC John Kwasnica, the Green Party candidate, was unable to attend the forum in Grand Forks, although he was able to attend the Midway meeting the next night. The Grand Forks Gazette reached out to him and asked him to provide comments on some of the topics discussed at the forum at Grand Forks Secondary School and although he hadn’t responded as of press time, he did issue this statement. “Take care of the environment. It is the only one we’ve got. If people are going to ignore that then everything else is going to follow along and deteriorate,” he said. “It seems like the local politics here in B.C. – over spending and taking away of the resources, selling it off to either the Far East or the United States. That seems to be what we are doing. Is that a good thing for British Columbia? I don’t think so!” – Kwasnica quote and photo courtesy Pat Kelly, Boundary Creek Times

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

z Our View

Better candidate screening required Criticize former Boundary-Similkameen BC Conservative candidate, current Independent candidate Mischa Popoff all you like, at least he’s not afraid to speak his mind. At last week’s all-candidates meeting Popoff spoke his mind on teachers’ salaries, earning the ire of teachers and people in the audience, but it was reportedly some opinion pieces he wrote that ultimately led to the provincial Conservatives dismissing him. Popoff was said to have taken shots at the Missing Women Inquiry and single mothers but clarified to the Gazette that he was referring to how the lengthy inquiry didn’t yield any changes and he was pro double-parenting, as opposed to anti-single mothers. He said that when he was being let go, he asked the BC Conservatives if he could send the columns in question. They reportedly declined. Provincial Conservative leader John Cummins issued the following statement on Sunday: “In light of last week’s revelation about two of our candidates, I ordered a full re-vetting of all BC Conservative candidates. These are never easy situations for a campaign, but I believe that leaders must act proactively. As a result of this process the senior volunteer responsible for vetting has stepped down from that position … ” Given that a number of candidates have been dismissed over the last few week’s it’s easy to see why they are reexamining the screening process but isn’t it a little too late for this? It wasn’t like Popoff’s columns were written recently. The one regarding single mothers was apparently from one written in March 2012. The columns were there for all to read and the BC Conservatives should’ve examined all of Popoff’s columns and factored that in when originally declaring him the BoundarySimilkameen candidate. Popoff isn’t the only recent candidate to be let go, as Vancouver-False Creek candidate Ian Tootill was also dismissed for alleged tweets relating to Hitler and Nazi Germany – the tweets were said to be from last October, long before the writ for the 2013 B.C. election was issued. Popoff has been writing opinion pieces for a while, so he has a big body of work. A body of work that the BC Conservatives should have examined before making the decision to whether or whether or not he would be a suitable candidate in the riding. Twitter accounts are easily accessible and it’s not hard to examine a person’s account. Now as it stands, Popoff is running as an Independent and there is no BC Conservative candidate in the BoundarySimilkameen, something that occurred with about two weeks before general voting day.

Weekly online poll

from www.grandforksgazette.ca Will the April 23 all-candidates meeting in Grand Forks influence how you’ll vote on May 14?

YES 22%

With the general voting for the B.C. provincial election taking place on May 14, it’s understandable that the provincial political parties, candidates and members of legislative assembly are trying to get as much press as possible. You’ve seen the TV advertisements with Premier Christy Clark sitting at a table with a group of people discussing how “bloated” things were the last time her NDP rivals were in power. We’ve seen BC NDP leader Adrian Dix and to a lesser extent BC Conservative leader John Cummins doing similar ads but I must confess, I haven’t seen any with Green Party of BC leader Jane Sterk yet. The Boundary-Similkameen candidates were even in the area for a pair of all-candidate meetings recently, discussing their views. Again understandable. What isn’t though is the

increased amount of electionrelated email my inbox has been inundated with since the writ dropped, and even before. I will make an exception for relevant email – a candidate will be in Grand Forks, a leader’s position on a controversial topic – but some of the correspondence is ridiculous. The Liberals said that “Adrian Dix must apologize to BC business community and end shakedown fundraising campaign,” citing that Dix and party are “strong-arming” provincial businesses into party donations. The BC NDP sending out an email titled “BC Liberals Say-

Anything-O-Meter,” saying that “The BC Liberals will say anything to get elected” and an email from the BC Conservatives declaring that Cummins won the televised Monday night leader’s debate. “Cummins was the only leader to offer British Columbians a different vision from the tax-and-spend policies of the Liberals and NDP. Mr. Cummins clearly stated what British Columbians already knew, that Christy Clark and the BC Liberals will lose this election,” the email read. After giving a quick search of email, there are only a handful of email from the Green Party of BC but nothing of the bombastic variety that the other parties have been sending out. Politicians have to make essentially what amounts to a sales pitch during election time, after all, they want your vote, but some of the political speak is bordering on ridiculous.

When friends ask me what I do for a living I tell them that I am a silviculture forester for Interfor Grand Forks Division and I usually get a blank stare, so then I explain that I plant trees. Although this is an oversimplification of what silviculture foresters do, it tends to bring up a mental picture that people can relate to. Every hectare of forest that Interfor harvests is reforested through tree planting or natural regeneration (from seed in cones on site) within seven years but generally, reforestation is completed within two years after harvest. This year, Interfor Grand Forks will plant 1.8 million trees with a mixture of Douglas-fir, western larch, spruce,

ponderosa pine, and lodgepole pine. Interfor reforests harvested areas with an average of two trees for every tree harvested. Once planted, Interfor monitors the growth and health of the plantations for up to 20 years to ensure that a healthy productive forest is given back to the citizens of British Columbia. Interfor’s silviculture program employs tree planters, forest surveyors, brush cutters, and site preparation operators (equipment used to make good spots to plant trees). Combined, all these forest workers strive to keep the forest in a healthy and viable condition. Forests are truly a renewable resource and forest professionals in British Columbia are mandated to balance the needs of the public, the profession, the employer, and other members. If you have any silviculture questions please contact me at 250-443-2400. Ryan Weltz, Silviculture Forester, Interfor Grand Forks

Garden to food bank Editor: The sun is shining, the rivers

❚ OPINION are rising and the hummingbirds have returned to the valley; if you haven’t already planned your garden for this year, now is the time to do so. And as you plan that garden, please consider planting a row for the Boundary Community Food Bank. Lettuce or onions, beans, carrots or cucumbers, kohlrabi, garlic or tomatoes, any or all of these would be greatly appreciated. Many of our clients are unable, due to physical limitations or accommodations, to plant their own garden and we all love fresh produce. From the earliest stalks of rhubarb, through the joy of summer picking, to those last apples ripening on your trees in the fall, any fruits and/or vegetables that you can’t use would be more than welcome at the food bank. Produce can be dropped off at the food bank (7419 Second Street, Grand Forks) on Monday afternoons from 1 to 3 p.m. or Tuesday mornings from 9 to 10 a.m. With approximately 280 people receiving help from the food bank every month, we can use all that you can give us and help is much appreciated.

Change vetting process The ousting of five party candidates in the past 10 days should be of concern to voters everywhere in B.C. for the reason that the vetting system for selection is showing its flaws, fortunately before, rather than after the election. ROY RONAGHAN The first to be fired was Dayleen Van Ryswyk, the New Democratic Party candidate for Kelowna-Mission. Within days four Conservative party candidates – Ron Herbert, (Vancouver-West End) Mischa Popoff (Boundary-Similkameen), Ian Tootill (VancouverFalse Creek) and Jeff Sprague (North Vancouver-Lonsdale) – were gone. Whether these people were fired or whether they left voluntarily is not the issue. The issue is that voters have placed their trust in a system operated by the political parties for choosing quality candidates to represent British Columbians in the legislative assembly in Victoria. They expect to be presented with a slate of candidates who behave with integrity. Van Ryswyk resigned because of what were reported to be unacceptable and hateful comments about First Nations, French, and French-speaking people. Herbert allegedly made disparaging remarks against Premier Christy Clark and Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin. Popoff was said to have made derogatory remarks about single mothers and the Missing Women Inquiry. He is now running as an independent. Tootill was let go for allegedly using shameful language in remarks on twitter. Sprague left because of an impaired driving investigation. Following the firings, the senior BC Conservative volunteer vetting officer resigned her post. In defense of the vetting process, John Cummins, leader of the BC Conservative party is reported to have said that it was impossible to know everything about candidates – their social media comments and email exchanges, criminal records and credit ratings. He wondered how far back through the personal history of a candidate one must one go to determine their credibility as a candidate. Cummins also indicated that all Conservative candidates are now undergoing a more rigorous re vetting. Why do voters have such blind trust in a system where important information can be missed? Voter knowledge about candidates is shallow at best and they learn little about them from their performance at fundraisers, all-candidates meetings, statements in newspapers and informal meetings. On May 14, one candidate will be declared a winner and will represent the Boundary-Similkameen constituency for a four-year term. Surely it is not too much to ask that the vetting process be more transparent and open to all voters. What questions were asked? Who did the background searches? What records were searched? Some would argue that constituents should have a role in the vetting process. Why not? They could ask the candidates pertinent questions. How will they determine the major concerns of the voters in the riding? How will they bring those concerns to the attention of fellow legislators, members of the cabinet and civil servants? How will they deal with constituents once they are elected? Winston Churchill said that a good politician, “Needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year.” If Churchill were right, the selection of candidates willing to represent residents of the Boundary-Similkameen would be restricted to a few because not many possess such an attribute. – Roy Ronaghan is a columnist for the Grand Forks Gazette

Guide to voting in Boundary-Similkameen When does early voting take place in the riding? Where do you vote on General Voting Day?

Voters in the eastern section of Boundary–Similkameen have several opportunities to vote. Advance polls are availPETER able on May 8, 9, 10 BECKETT and 11 at the Rock Creek and Boundary Fair Pavilion in Rock Creek and the Grand Forks Seniors’ Hall at City Park. Polls are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day. On General Voting Day (Tuesday, May 14) polls are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Christina Lake Community Centre, the McArthur Centre in Greenwood, the Midway Community Centre, the Rock Creek and Boundary Fair Pavilion and the Beaverdell Community Hall. Unfortunately, there is no suitable location able to hold all 20 polls in Grand Forks. As a result, there are three different polling places in the city: the seniors’ hall, gallery 2 at 524 Central Avenue and the Gospel Chapel at 7048 Donaldson Drive. Registered voters in B.C. will receive a yellow “Where to Vote” card which will be mailed to their home a few days prior to the advance polls. Information on the card explains the correct location for each voter’s Advance and General Voting place. Voters should take this card with them to the polling place. Anyone who is not registered will not receive a “Where to Vote” card. They can call the Boundary-Similkameen District Electoral Office (250-495-1260) if they are uncertain about where they are supposed to vote.

Finally, regardless of where a B.C. voter happens to be on voting day, they can vote at any location in the province. This is called absentee voting and it ensures that, during provincial elections at least, no voter is disenfranchised just because they are not at their assigned voting place. All three voting places in Grand Forks are a short drive away from one another. Voters in Grand Forks who turn up at the wrong voting place will have a choice. They will learn where their correct voting place is located and can go there, or they can vote Absentee at the site they are at. In either case, each voter can be assured that their vote will be counted. No matter where you decide to cast your ballot, don’t forget to bring your identification. A driver’s licence, BCID Card, BC Services Card, or Indian Status Card provides your name, residential address and photograph. If you don’t have one of those documents, then a combination of two documents will be adequate. Both must have your name, and one must have your correct residential address. Common examples voters provide include utility bills, gym membership cards, motor vehicle registrations, Social Insurance Number cards and pension or bank statements. No matter where you are in Boundary we’ll be ready for you at the polls. Be sure and take advantage of your right to vote during our 2013 Provincial Election. – Peter Beckett is district electoral officer for the riding

Advance polls are available May 8, 9, 10 and 11 at the Grand Forks Seniors’ Hall in City Park.

Group slashes brush to help deer population

Gazette Reporter

The Grand Forks Wildlife Association is concerned about the declining population of deer and elk in the wild. In order to try and restore the habitat of wild ungulates (hoofed animals), the association is working on a slashing and burning project to inhibit the encroachment of forests into the grasslands. “Many years ago, you used to be able to drive through (the North Fork) and be able to count thousands of mule deer on the south facing slopes from Christina Lake to Rock Creek,” said Brian Hancock, president of the Grand Forks Wildlife Association. “Now you would be hard pressed to count 100.” In order to preserve some of the remaining grasslands, the wildlife association has put in over 100 man-hours, cutting back small trees and brush in the Volcanic Creek area.

“A lot of (shrubs) have grown so tall that they can’t actually reach the new shoots or they aren’t even putting out any new shoots, so there is not a whole lot of nutritional value there,” she said. Wildfire suppression has also been successful since the association started working in the area last year, said Hancock. He added that a lot of people in town think there is an overpopulation of deer. “What we have in town, as we see it, its not wildlife, they are habituated deer, white-tailed deer that have for generations known nothing other than to live in town on peoples lawns,” said Hancock. “What we have in town is absolutely in no way indicative of what is actually out there for wildlife as far as wild deer on the mountain.” Hancock estimates that the wildlife association has already cut and cleared half a dozen hectares.

Thursday, May 2nd, 2013 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.

The group met again on April 20 and the work is all part of a larger wildlife project, organized by Lisa Tedesco, habitat biologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations through the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation. “Tedesco put in an application for the funding and as part of that application, we committed to do a bunch of volunteer hours,” said Jamie Hibberson, Grand Forks Wildlife Association secretary. Similar projects around the Boundary are taking place said Hibberson. “The idea is that some of these areas would be prepared for prescribed burning with the goal of opening the area up and reclaiming some of the grasslands that are important for wildlife,” he added. Tedesco said that the slashing improves the quality and availability of forage for the deer.

Feral cats are running rampant through the city and some believe it’s time to introduce cat regulation into a Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) animal control bylaw, according to Brian Taylor, mayor of Grand Forks. The animal control bylaw, proposed and debated over the last month, has caused emotions to run high, said Taylor. “We need to take a bit of time to take a deep breath here and come up with a better draft document,” said Taylor. Elaine Kumar, director of corporate administration with the RDKB, and the stakeholders, Electoral Areas C, D and the Cities of Grand Forks and Greenwood, are currently working on amalgamating the proposed bylaw with some recommendations that have come forward.

One of those recommendations raised by residents deals with regulating cats, said Taylor. “We are struggling with the aspect of do we want to include any cats in the bylaw,” said Taylor. “There are a number of people who feel that we have an overabundance of feral cats and that we have to do something about cats as well, in particular in the city areas.” The current RDKB bylaw does not address cats because the Local Government Act has banned regional districts from controlling cats. “Up until this last little while, we didn’t have authority to do anything about regulating cats,” said Kumar. “I am meeting with the elected officials and it will be up to them to see if they want to address the cat issue.” Suzanne Martin, owner of Wizard of Pawz, a Grand Forks pet store, said the feral and stray cat issued could be

solved with a region-wide tagging system. “Maybe they could enforce a bylaw were all cats must have collars and tags,” she said. “It’s been doable in some communities; quite successfully where they have city tags for the cats.” If the regional district does not address the issue, then it might be an issue for the city to tackle, said Taylor. “You can have a bylaw within a bylaw so we could define cat control within the city limits and not have it apply to the whole area,” he added. City of Grand Forks’ Chief Administrative Officer Doug Allin said before the city makes a move on cat control, it’s going to see what the other stakeholders have to say. The Grand Forks Gazette contacted Boundary Animal Control for input, but they would not comment on the issue.

scene, the semi-truck and trailer were lying on the passenger side on Highway 3, with the load of lumber strewn across the highway. The driver was transported to hospital and was the lone occupant of the vehicle. Eyewitnesses confirmed the truck swerved to miss the dogs. The driver said he braked, but he lost traction on the soft shoulder of the highway and the truck rolled when his load tipped too far. “The road was closed for about three hours while crews inspected the collision site and cleared debris,” said Harrison. “No charges were laid and the 32-year-old driver from Chilliwack was released from hospital later in the evening with a dislocated shoulder.”

phibians in the coming weeks to make sure they are all on the right side of the fence. The materials for the fence were all donated, with Emcon Services donating sand, BC parks donating stakes and leftover lumber wrap from Interfor from last year’s amphibian fence project undertaken by the Boundary Habitat Stewards. Before anything can be planted on the upper grassland bench though, the quackgrass and invasive plants need to be controlled, so the field will be fallow all summer and planting of native plants will not start until late September. Finding native seed stock has been a challenge and the Boundary Central Secondary School Grade 12 Resource Management class, taught by Lisa Baia, will be growing some of the native plants for the project. Most of the native bunch grass for the project is being grown by a nursery, with some of the funding from EcoAction. The class was out at the oxbow two weeks ago to learn about restoration

z PROVINCIAL PARK

Boothman’s Oxbow Provincial Park is undergoing a transformation from old unused fields to valuable wildlife habitat. This park is located east of Grand Forks and was established in 2007. The restoration project is being led by the Boundary Invasive Species Society in partnership with BC Parks, Granby Wilderness Society, Christina Lake Stewardship Society and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. EcoAction, an Environment Canada funding program, has approved funding of $27,439 to be spent over the next two years on enhancing habitat values within the park. Work has already begun with volunteers installing short barrier fences to control amphibian (frogs, toads and salamander) movements in and out of the upper bench area. Within the next few weeks, the upper field will be plowed down, but everyone needs to make sure that the amphibians are out first. There are several species at risk using the park including botched tiger salamanders and Great Basin spadefoots, so these measures will protect them while we enhance their habitat. Jenny Coleshill of the Granby Wilderness Society is helping by co-ordinating the fence installation and she will have volunteers monitoring the fences for am-

and to help with planting some live cottonwood stakes along the oxbow. Near the oxbow groups are trying to establish a strip of shrubs and trees to improve habitat for bird and other species. Right now the introduced reed canary grass dominates and it provides little habitat value for wildlife. The class was laying down temporary tarps to control the grass and planting live cottonwood whips through the tarp. In the coming months the class will work on growing the native plants for the project. As the project progresses, classes from other schools will be invited to help with tasks including invasive plant removal and planting native bunchgrass, shrubs and trees. If you use the park please be patient while groups work to enhance habitat values and them know if you want to help out as a volunteer or have any concerns about the project. For more information on the project contact Barb Stewart at 250-446-2232 or email boundaryinvasives@gmail.com. You can also contact Jenny Coleshill at jenny.coleshill@granbywilderness.ca. The Government of Canada’s EcoAction Community Funding Program supports projects that rehabilitate, protect or enhance the natural environment and builds the capacity of communities and individuals to ensure future protection.

z TAXATION

Effects of PST felt through wide range of business

Drought Tolerant Less Maintenance Disease Resistant Full Sun to Full Shade

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

The Provincial Sales Tax (PST) back in effect now for nearly a month, has decreased the taxes on real estate and bicycles but bumped up tax on liquor. With the implementation of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) in 2010, new homes in B.C. were subject to a seven per cent rate hike as the HST was applicable to the sale of new homes. Now that B.C. is back to the two-tiered tax system, Goods and Services (GST) (five per cent) and PST (seven per cent), British Columbians buying new homes will be spared from paying the PST. However, Pete Vanjoff, a realtor with Grand Forks Realty, said that doesn’t really make an impact in Grand Forks. Vanjoff said that Grand Forks hardly has any

new houses being built and sold. “So the only difference is that people will now be saving seven per cent tax on a new home, but most of the houses in Grand Forks are used or pre-owned homes,” he said. Where people will see a savings, in terms of pre-owned homes, will be in regards to the realtor’s commission, which will be an average of nearly $800 dollars savings, according to Vanjoff. “The seven per cent (PST) is saved on the commission of a sale,” said the Grand Forks realtor. Sharon Marshall, realtor with Border Country Realty, believes that the tax savings on commissions could help the real estate market. “The real estate market has been improving, the tax portion that people are having to pay will change and it probably won’t hurt,” she said. Brian Fletcher, owner of Chain Reaction Ride & Slide, said the re-implementation of the PST has been good for the bike business, as bicycle purchases are now only subject to the five per cent GST. “In this particular case, there have been bigger bike sales,” said Fletcher. “More expensive bikes have been selling, as opposed to just the $500 bikes that are quite commonly sold here.” If a cyclist were to buy $1,000 bike, they would save $70 dollars. “I had a guy last week that bought a $3,400 bike and the tax savings alone on that were $238. That’s huge,” he said. The return of the PST has meant that the tax on liquor has actually increased by three per cent from the 12 per cent HST, so people are now paying 15 per cent for alcohol. Liquor is now subject to the five per cent GST and the return of the 10 per cent provincial liquor sales tax. “To minimize the impact on shelf prices, the Liquor Distribution Branch reverted to lower mark-up rates on liquor that were in place June 30, 2010 (prior to HST implementation),” said Vince Cournoyer, a communications manager with the BC Liquor Distribution Branch, in an email to the Gazette.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

COMMUNITY z HEALTH CARE

Generic drug price cuts will come with pitfalls

Friday May 10, 2013 The Gables Housing Society

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

8:30 a.m. Gables Amenity Room 7101 - 25th Street, Grand Forks THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF GRAND FORKS

SPECIAL MEETING ON THE 2013 TAX RATE BYLAW Monday, May 13th, 2013 10:00 AM At Council Chambers All community members are welcome to attend.

As of April 1, residents are paying less for medication at pharmacies in the Boundary, as the B.C. government slashed the price of generic drugs. The cost of generic drugs used to cost residents 35 per cent of the price of the equivalent brand name drug and now that has been reduced to 25 per cent of the brand name price. While families are paying less at the till to fill their prescriptions, these savings could come with some shortfalls. “We understand government’s objective in reducing the price of generic drugs, but anticipate there will be an impact on pharmacies due to lost revenue,” said Geraldine Vance, CEO of the British Columbia Pharmacy Association in an email to the Gazette. “It’s too early to tell how big this impact will be; however, the drop in pricing came with little notice and without

a timely transition period for pharmacies,” Vance said, Pharmacies receive a rebate from generic drug companies for carrying their brand, but as the cost of those drugs drop, so too will the rebates, which could lead to fewer free services and more generic drugs being pulled off the market, said Graeme Carlson, owner of the Grand Forks and Christina Lake Pharmasave stores. “It’s a real concern. There may be a short-term savings but it may, in the long run, end up costing because if generic drug companies reach the point were they don’t want to produce these drugs, because they are no longer profitable, they will stop producing them,” said Carlson. “Then the brand name drugs would be the only ones that are available, which would then revert back to the higher price.” Free services currently offered by pharmacies, such as continuing education, medication counseling, clinic days

and blister packaging etc., may also be cut as the drug companies predominantly fund these services, said Carlson. The cost of generic drugs dropped three years ago from 65 per cent down to 35 per cent of the brand name price, according to the Ministry of Health. As of April they dropped to 25 per cent and the Ministry of Health has said it will drop the prices down to 20 per cent of the brand name price by April 2014. “We’re focused on solutions and hopeful government will work with community pharmacy to implement our clinical services proposals and help improve the health care system, reduce costs and deliver better services to patients,” said Vance. Dave LaJoie, owner of Value Drug Mart, was contacted by the Gazette but did not want to comment. The Province of BC said it couldn’t comment on the matter because it is in the midst of the election.

For more information: Please call Edie Raspberry-Faulkner at 250-442-3872 or email us at jazzercisegrandforks@gmail.com Junior Jazzercise is a perfect program to get kids active and learn the importance of exercise and health. The program combines fun, easy-to-follow dance moves to popular music, fitness games, and light strength training. No dance experience required.

For residents who aren’t members of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 59, there is a perception that it’s a closed club where old men sit around, make up war stories and drink beer. “But you don’t have to drink to be a member of the legion,” said the local regional president Joe Tatangelo. “There is that stereotype that you either have to be an old vet or drink beer but we are trying to change that stereotype. “We need more young members,” he said, in order to keep the legion going. Grand Forks’ branch is extending an open invitation to any resident interested in joining an organization that provides services to veterans, gets involved with local schools, recreational programs and community organizations. “Membership, at one time, was quite restrictive,” said Ken Gresley-Jones, vice-president of the legion. At one time, you needed to be connected to the military in order to join the legion; however, now you can join even without being connected to someone with military service, said Tatangelo. “The reason we need more members is that the legion was set up for veterans and as you realize veterans are far and few between,” he said.

Some benefits of being a legion member are all the social events. “We have darts, we have dinners and dances, we have Texas Hold’em Poker, meat draws on Saturdays, plus we have pull tab (lottery),” said the club president, and in summer months they will have horseshoes, bocce and barbecues.

“I joined the legion for the camaraderie and if I go into another community there is, most of the time, a legion and you can always go into a legion and meet nice people there – it’s friendlier than just walking into a bar.” But besides the camaraderie, social events and cheap drinks, the legion gives a lot back to the community. “The main purpose of the legion is

to support the vets. With that we have branched out from supporting veterans to supporting community organizations with our donations,” said Tatangelo. “Right now we are supporting about 20 different groups, throughout the year.” Most of the recipient groups get anywhere from $500 to $1,000 per year. “There is a lot of money that we give to the community,” he said. While legions across the country have been forced to close due to lack of participation, the Grand Forks branch is trying to keep its doors open for the benefit of its members and the community. “We are reliant on our bar sales and also the hall rental,” said Georgina Ortis, service officer of Branch No. 59. The revenue from the hall rental has been declining, but the kitchen and hall are getting upgrades so Ortis hopes that will help the rental situation. “A team has been putting together having Sunday afternoon dinner and dances and we were getting a really good turnout and that really improved our bar sales,” she said. For more information on the branch, which is located at 7353 6th Street, drop into the lounge any day after 2:30 p.m. and pick up a pamphlet or talk to one of the members.

Piranhas ready to start KARL YU

Gazette Editor

Bust a move The Kootenay Robusters Dragon Boat team launched their 13th season last weekend at Christina Lake under the direction of steersperson and coach Trish Ostlund (back). The team, made up of breast cancer survivors and supporters from Rossland, Trail, Castlegar, Grand Forks and Christina Lake, is looking for new members and invites any interested women to come for a paddle. Check out the team website www.kootenayrobusters.com for more information.

People say that swimming is great exercise and for people in the Grand Forks area, particularly youngsters, the Grand Forks Piranhas Swim Club is a great way to engage this. The club – which has swimmers as young as five and as old as 18 – is taking registration until June 30 and according to club president Brandy Needoba, the Piranhas club offers children a lot of positive things. “It offers good exercise, it’s a great environment for families, great community involvement, good sportsmanship and the opportunity to enjoy the summer,” she said. “We swim from May ‘til August, the kids compete in meets from the beginning of June until the first weekend in August and then, if they qualify at our regional meet, they go to the provincials in the

middle of August – this year, it’s in Coquitlam.” The swim meet in Grand Forks will be held on June 8 at the Grand Forks Aquatic Centre, taking place all day and run by parent volunteers. Needoba explained that junior swimmers can train up to four hours a week until the end of June, and then six hours a week from July until the middle of August, while the senior swimmers train for six hours a week – there is a fun day once a week as well. The swimmers take direction from coach Robyn Van Ek and assistants Ross Merry and Hannah Holitzki. While June 30 is the very latest people can register, Needoba recommends signing up earlier. “They can register any time until the end of June. Our first day of practice is May 7 so if they can register before then, that would be good,” she said

The Christina Lake Golf Club is in its 51st season and as most golfers pull out their clubs for another season, Steve Acres thinks back on his father’s contributions to the game. His dad Jack Acres was an integral proponent in the development stage and early years of the Christina Lake Golf Club, which first opened in 1962 as a nine-hole course, said Acres. “There was no (golf) club or organization at that time, so I believe that my father got things started by twisting a few arms,” he said. Jack grew up caddying at a golf course at the bottom of Rattlesnake Mountain and that’s where his passion for the game developed, said Acres. However, over the years the course in town wasn’t maintained, Jack moved away and when he came back the course that he grew up on was no longer in operation and the nearest course was the Kettle River Golf Club, eight kilometres east of Rock Creek on Highway 3. Acres and Johnny Goffinet, (owner of Johnny’s Motel and another integral member in the creation of the course) and fellow golfers decided they wanted to golf close to home, said Peggy Phillips, wife of Barry Phillips, who was Jack’s business partner. “They got tired of going up to Kettle River Golf Course and they wanted their own,” she said. Jack was able to enlist the help of Jack Millican, a retired surveyor at the time, into surveying the old Cascade town site, which would become the original nine holes of the Christina Lake Golf Club. Acres told the Gazette that Randy Sandner and Henry Weibe were instrumental in obtaining the rights to the land. According to Acres, construction of the course got under way in April 1962 and was completed in October of that year. “Originally there were 10 founding members that put in hundred-dollar shares,” he said. The first share in the golf course was made out to Jack Acres, said Art Stavenjord, who has been a member of the club since its inception. “He was one of the first presidents, but he

would tell you that it was just a title, he was a pretty humble person,” said Stavenjord. Kevin Maffioli, current general manager of the course, told the Gazette that Jack was the president for three years from 1964 to 1966. “He was a big part of the creation (of the course) in the fledgling years,” said Maffioli. “He made sure that it got off the ground and started on its process of being a full-fledged golf course.” Phillips said that Jack was a communityminded man and the creation of the course was of great benefit to the Boundary. “It certainly improved recreation in the community and tourism. The big Grand Forks Golf tournament in June, (which is a Pacific Northwest Golf Association Championships tournament) was huge, they had a lot of entries form other communities and across the line come to play,” she said. Now after 50 years, Christina Lake’s golf course is regarded as one of the best in the Interior and B.C., said Acres. “My father died in 1984 and would have been amazed, proud, and very, very pleased at what the club has become,” he said.

Gaining wisdom on water safety Spring weather is now here and summer is not far off and we’re sure the thought of water sports is on your mind. It’s time to get your boat ready for another great season or dust off the fishing pole and camping gear and spend a weekend fishing with the family. Grand Forks Recreation (GFREC) has partnered with Open Water Wisdom to offer a water safety awareness campaign. The objective of the campaign is to reduce injury and drowning rates among children, provide public awareness of risks and actions needed to prevent injury and death through drowning and to increase life-jacket use by educating and providing the equipment to help reduce the number of accidents. Open Water Wisdom has provided the community with life-jackets and safety information to help promote safety awareness in our community. This campaign includes a life-jacket loan program, which will be available through the recreation office. You can borrow the life-jackets for a day or weekend by making arrangements prior to your event, during our office hours between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday and Friday. There will be no charge to use the life-jackets and the length

of time will be limited to one week. *** Throughout the summer, GFREC will be providing on-site water safety awareness campaigns at the local swimming sites and marinas throughout communities in the area. LILLY If you are operating a motorize boat and BRYANT have not obtained your boater’s card yet, then you are in violation of the law and will be fined if caught. Instructor Mike Fairweather of Canadian Power & Sail Squadrons will be offering a Boat Pro Course at the Christina Lake Community Hall on June 8 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The fee for the one-day course is $55 and $35 for additional family members. Deadline for registration is June 1. *** We are now taking registration for all our Red Cross summer sessions. The sessions will be held in Grand Forks, starting July 8, July 22 and Aug. 12. Class sizes are limited so call today to reserve a spot. Lessons will be held at the Christina Lake public beach the week of July 29. For details on the life-jacket loan program, please give us a call at the recreation office at 250-442-2202.

Raising awareness about Lupus Lupus is one of the over 100 kinds of Arthritis. Lupus will cause inflammation in any and/or every part of the body.

Ralph Henry

Redding

With heavy hearts we announce Ralph’s passing on April 19, 2013,with his family by his side in Grand Forks, B.C. A part of each of us went with him. Ralph was diagnosed with brain/lung cancer in January. His family at that time decided to surprise him with a Birthday Celebration and surrounded him with family and friends. Ralph was born Feb 12, 1951, the ﬁfth child of Richard & Electa (Bartlett) Redding. Ralph was raised in Whitecourt. Alta, Tyvan and Riceton, Sask. He was always full of mischief and loved to have fun, always teasing his siblings. He loved to hunt, and loved a good time with friends and family. He especially loved his family. He met his wife Melody (of 41 years) in Chilliwack, B.C. For a short time they lived in Sask., and then settled in North Fork Valley, Grand Forks, B.C. He leaves to mourn, his wife Melody, son Joshua (Erin Olson), daughter Deidre (Andy Eyles), his precious grandkids: Gavin, Alannah, Meaghan. His siblings: Rick, Neva, Molly Ann, Tom, Francy, Eileen and their families. The Knopps, Olsons, and Eyles. Also Redding, Bartlett and Hansen cousins. Ralph was predeceased by his parents, niece Celene and lil brother Allan. When Allan passed in 2008, Ralph and Melody left a sandblasted monument on the Brown Creek Road, in his memory. Ralph and Melody were very creative. Ralph lived his life exactly the way he wanted to. Ralph and Melody had a home like no other that welcomed everyone they knew. Ralph spent many hours with Josh and Gavin hunting, ﬁshing and building. Ralph had a very special relationship with his daughter in-law Erin, who gives so much to her family. We will miss him, his humor, generosity, and especially the twinkle in his eyes. Bye for now, Redneck! Special thanks to the Boundary Hospital and staff.

In Memoriam

Bennett I. Hove

Loved, remembered, longed for always, Bringing many silent tears. “In silence we remember”

fatigue, depression, loss of memory, confusion, thought process, seizures and more. Lupus also mimics other diseases such a multiple sclerosis. As you can see this disease is the very complex. Awareness needs to be spread and people need to know that the Lupus B.C. Society desperately needs funding for more research to be done. Victims need specific treatment for Lupus because, at this time, there is none. One drug is called Plaquenil, which was invented for Malaria and by chance it was found that it helped with the face rash in Lupus. My best friend, my sister Gloria died 34 years ago of Lupus at the young age of 42 and she was on the same medications we have today, and the same ones that were used 50 years ago. Fifty-thousand people in Canada, 1.5 million in the U.S. and five million worldwide have Lupus. The good news is that we have research being done in B.C. at the University of B.C. just for Lupus. I have had SLE for over 22 years and the symptoms keep coming. I am grateful that I can operate a small business from my home and I have met many friends running this little business that I love. No. 1 on my bucket list is to let as many people as I can, know about Lupus, therefore I am working with Lupus B.C. to be an advocate for education about this disease. For more information on Lupus, please contact the Lupus B.C. Society or myself at 250-447-6298 or at shirleybell1@shaw.ca.

Cecil William

Planedin

While in art school, Cecil studied under Zeljko Kujundzic (Yugoslavia) and Santo Mignosa (Italy) and Michael Minot (Great Britain). He went on to become a very proliﬁc artist, working with many different mediums . He will be known by many for his hand carved wood-block prints, which he was often seen working on, and giving away as gifts. He also loved to show anyone willing to learn, how to make their own. Family was always very important to Cec, and much of his life was dedicated to his wife and his children. The ones he raised with her, as well as many in his ‘extended family’. He leaves a legacy of people who’s world he made brighter. He always loved to travel and see the world, and made friends and memories around the globe. Cecil is survived by his siblings, Patsy, Marie, Annabelle and Gordon, his ‘Partner in Time’ Jenny, his amazing children, and his beloved grand-daughter Koa. A celebration of his life, and artwork, was held in Fernwood, Victoria on Sunday, Apr 21, 2013.
