In order to address a budget shortfall and a declining number of full-time students, School District 51 (SD51) is proposing to cut three teachers from its payroll in 2013/14. On April 30, SD51 held its public finance meeting to discuss some of the region’s financial pressures and propose some changes to the school district’s board of directors. “We are recommending to the board that in order to balance this budget, we would be reducing our budget by three teaching positions at this point, one administration position and reduction of custodial time and that leaves us still out by about $90,000,” said Jeanette Hanlon, SD51’s secretary-treasurer. “We are recommending that (the board) take(s) it out of surplus.” Expenditures by function are broken into four key categories across the school district and 77 per cent of that goes into instruction. The remaining 23 per cent goes into operations and maintenance (14 per cent), transportation (four per cent) and administration (five per cent). “When it comes to making cuts, it usually involves people,” said Hanlon. “Teaching staff is of course student driven,” she said. Student numbers have dropped by 36 per cent from 2001/2002, from 2,030 students to 1,292. This year SD51 also saw an unexpected drop of full-time students from 2011/12. “Coming into this year we weren’t expecting this drop of 84 (students), that was quite a surprise to us,” said Hanlon. Boundary District Teachers’ Association President Norm Sabourin said that school districts get their funding from a couple of block grants but the majority of the funding comes from the Ministry of Education on a per student rate. In 2006/2007 a supplement called funding protection was introduced by the province, which protects schools with declining enrolment numbers. “It states that if we lose students, we don’t lose a (corresponding) written amount of that per student funding,” said Sabourin. With the funding protection in place, SD51 has guaranteed 98.5 per cent of this year’s budget for the next school year, which will drop the operating funds by $232,231. Sabourin said that’s a big loss in a school dis-

trict of this size. “Every 100,000 to 200,000 is very significant, you are looking at two to three teaching jobs, educational assistants, custodians,” said Sabourin. If the enrolment were to increase then the district would not get any additional funding. “So say we get another 10 students coming to a school by coincidence, if we had to add anything we are not going to get any more money during a school year for that, so we approximately need another 50 kids before we would be out of funding protection,” said Hanlon. In terms of teacher to student ratios, Hanlon pointed out that SD51 is in a better situation comparatively to other districts in the province. “We use a ratio of one teacher per every 20 students and at Boundary Central Secondary School, one teacher for every 16 students,” said Hanlon. “Across the province it’s usually 28 at most districts.” While the president of the Boundary District Teachers’ Association agrees that there is a good student to teacher ratio, he said, every time a teacher is lost, it hurts the kids. “The problem at schools that are so small is that ever time you lose one teacher, that’s seven courses that can’t be offered, one full-time teacher teaches seven blocks,” he said. “It really limits their options.” The board of directors is discussing the cuts and the proposal will be brought to the table at the May 14 school board meeting in Grand Forks.

NEWS z 2013 B.C. ELECTION
Candidates make last pitch to voters
General Voting Day for the B.C. election is on May 14 and by the time the Grand Forks Gazette’s May 15 issue goes to press, the results will not be available. As such, Boundary-Similkameen candidates were asked to provide one last statement to the people of the riding, telling the constituents why to vote for them.
Sam Hancheroff BC NDP
My name is Sam Hancheroff. I was born in Grand Forks and have lived my entire life in the constituency, spending 33 years as a teacher in Okanagan Falls. Public service has always been important to me – whether as a volunteer firefighter or in my 30 years of involvement in local politics as a school trustee and trustee for the irrigation district. This local involvement has given me a thorough understanding of the issues facing this region, as well as experience working with local stakeholders from a diversity of backgrounds to build consensus on important issues, both of which I believe would allow me to serve the region well as an MLA. In this election, the residents of Boundary-Similkameen have an important decision to make. I believe that it’s time for a new government with better priorities. A government that will work for change for the better – one practical step at a time. My wife Barb and I have five grandchildren, so I know personally the importance of ensuring proper access to education and skills training. With 80 per cent of the new jobs created in B.C. requiring some form of post-secondary education, I’m thrilled by our party’s commitment to supporting students through $100 million in post-secondary student grants, as well as additional money for skills training. This money will help improve apprenticeship completion rates and ensure that people across the province, including my own grandchildren, have the skills needed for future jobs. Change for the better also means real support to strengthen the forest industry. As a young man, I worked in the forest, setting chokers behind the D-8 Cat, bucking trees at the landing and working on the planer chain at the Pope & Talbot mill in Grand Forks. These forests provided good-paying jobs that allowed me to work my way through school and they also taught me the value of hard work. But those opportunities are disappearing. Over the last decade the BC Liberals have doubled raw log exports. In 2012 they reached 5.7 million cubic metres – enough to fill a bumper-to-bumper lineup of logging trucks stretching from Vancouver to the border of Mexico. And with our logs went our jobs. We’ve seen mills close and provincial investment in forest health dry up. It doesn’t have to be like that. That’s why I’m excited to be running for the NDP. We’ve got a plan to invest $100 million in forest health, double the number of seedlings planted to five million a year and focus on using B.C. logs to bring back some of those B.C. jobs. We’ll also update inventories, which are essential to proper management of our forests, and strengthen local involvement in land use planning so the people who live here – the ones who know their forests the best – will have a real say. This is the choice we’re faced with. If you believe, like I do, that it’s time for a positive change, then I ask for your support on May 14.
John Kwasnica Green Party of BC
Since 1986 in Boundary- Similkameen, the Green Party has held onto the hope that critical economic concerns will be decisive – care of air, water and soil. Most voters will cast for those they see as best able to foster new jobs, hold together essential government services (e.g. highways, hospitals, schools), manage taxation fairly and
avoid heavy debt. Heavy or light voter turnout will decide the actual quality of the outcome. If elected I would advance the policies to create green jobs in soft energy development and in value-added resource industry, to empower local communities to manage health and education to suit their particular needs, to develop public transit including better rural inter-urban bus service, to support young farmers, to tax fairly and avoid heavy debt.
I sure wished that the forums would have included a segment where the candidates could have asked one 30-second question. A half-time break of 15 minutes for a coffee and donut should be done. Start it at 5 p.m., a lot of elderly don’t like going out at night. Everything can be made better; even election forums. I think with my video and computer background, I can make the position of MLA the most transparent anywhere. The people are tired of secrets that always cost them money. All the questions and investigations that need to be researched, I can do. With people seeing all the details. No secrets, no corruption. My overall background trumps what ever the others can offer. I’m against Monsanto and GMO (genetically modified organisms). I want to see all candidates talk to the marijuana issue. I’d like to see the Young Offenders Act repealed. All records from previous MLA’s should be made available. I’d like to see the people unite rather that be divided by minor issues. I am Doug Pederson, the people’s candidate.
The BC Liberal budget that came out earlier this year maintained the current levels of commitment to British Columbians and kept a controlled approach to moving forward. Unlike the NDP candidate, I do not have “buckets” of money to promise you. The NDP platform relies heavily on taking away money from your businesses, your higher wage earners and your local credit unions – this will not put money in your hands to spend. The NDP have also stated they would put a stop to all capital projects not currently underway – the Penticton Hospital and the correctional facility are now in limbo. I represent stable businessfriendly policy, which I believe will attract new business and investment to B.C. I support the Healthy Forests/Healthy Communities recommendations and the Rural BC Project and many other concerns that have been presented to me (watershed protection, transportation, daycare, senior care etc.). This is an important election. I believe that my business background and years of participating in municipal and regional government, provincial committees (Small Business Roundtable and Junior Achievement of BC) and volunteering (Community Futures) has given me the necessary skills to be an effective voice for you in Victoria. I was told by some people that governments always go into debt so what does it matter if the hole gets $3 billion deeper? Well, it matters to me, my children and my grandchildren and that’s why I am the candidate for the BC Liberal Party and that’s why you should vote for me.

I’ll be transparent with everything I do. Maybe start a trend for the government representatives everywhere. How refreshing that would be? How many Stanley Cup riot convictions would there have been if it wasn’t for video? How quick the Boston Bombers went on the run after their video was released. The people deserve honest representation by the best candidate available. I’d put my resume up against all the rest combined. More real world experience and not a chamber of commerce member. I’ll post video from the Osoyoos and Oliver forums for all to see. The local cable channel 18 will show the Oliver footage for the rest of the election.
Fortis’ two-tiered billing system has nothing to do with conservation. It’s a tax grab, plain and simple, and it must be stopped. As British Columbians began conserving energy over the last decade, the bean counters in Victoria realized less revenue was rolling in as a result. So they raised water rates for Fortis, and then subsequently rubber-stamped Fortis’s request for a rate increase and two-tiered billing, pretending it was all for our own good. But I’ve got news for this province’s bureaucrats, it’s our power. It’s time for Victoria to stop taxing us for using what’s ours and once we get that straight, we should be rewarded with dividends every time our power is sold outside of B.C. Likewise, the carbon tax must also be eliminated. We smoke, drink and burn fossil fuels just as much as Americans do, and they pay half the tax on those things that we do. Sin taxes clearly do not work as a deterrent. What’s more, we already pay about 50 per cent in tax whenever we fill up on gas, so how is another four or five per cent going to make any difference? It’s a tax grab, plain and simple and it must be eliminated. Other programs to be cut include this province’s useless and highly damaging Meat Industry Regulation (MIR), which has destroyed the local meat-processing industry in B.C. and hurt ranching. Premier Gordon Campbell imposed MIR on this province in the name of public safety but there was and remains no evidence that local meat-processors posed any threat whatsoever to the public. Quite to the contrary in fact: deaths attributed to unsafe meat have all come from large-scale plants in Alberta. The next program to eliminate is Victoria’s much-ballyhooed On-Farm Food Safety program. Again, there is no evidence that farmers in this province pose any threat whatsoever to the public. Leave farmers alone Victoria! They feed us. When the economy of British Columbia improves, rural communities across the Boundary-Similkameen will boom just like small towns across the prairies are booming right now. Pay down the debt, attract more businesses by eliminating useless regulations, and we will all prosper. I ask you for your vote on May 14, and to do your part to make history in this riding by sending the first truly independent voice to Victoria to speak on your behalf.

z Our View
Take advantage of advance polls
The candidates for the Boundary-Similkameen riding have taken part in various all-candidate meetings in the area and have issued statements on what they believe in. The various party leaders have debated on TV and have been interviewed by numerous media outlets across the province. They probably could continue to do so for another month but that is not the case as campaigning will be wrapping up, as well as all the other politicking that comes along with an election. Starting today (May 8), early polling stations will open and in Grand Forks, electors will be able to get a jump on the action at the City Park seniors’ centre – advance polling will be available until May 11 and the centre will be open between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. General Voting Day is May 14. Political parties won’t be changing their tune until after the election (HST anyone?) and they will only be re-iterating what they’ve said already, so take advantage of the ability to vote early – it’s your right and it’s better to get it out of the way. People are often accused of putting things off until the last minute but don’t do that when it comes to voting in this provincial election. This isn’t a case of the “earlybird getting the worm” but it is a case of “the earlier, the better.” While there will be more stations on May 14 besides the seniors’ centre – gallery 2, Christina Lake Community Hall and Gospel Chapel – there will also be more people getting out to vote, as that will be the last day to vote and all stations will be packed. Taking advantage of advancing polls will allow you to avoid the big crowds and will also provide peace of mind, as you will have completed your provincial duty and won’t have to worry on May 14. Voters might think that there will be enough time to go to the stations on their lunch breaks or before work on May 14 but so will a number of other people. If you do vote on May 14, make sure you have proper identification and go to the right station as indicated on the yellow voters card.

With the closures of Canada Post Offices across the country, the influence of technology and instant messaging is ever more prevalent as we see a huge shift from paper-based to digital communication. It’s so easy to pick up your phone and send a text message or get on your computer and wire off an email instead of actually sitting down and putting your thoughts down on paper. We have become a lazy generation and I am just as much at fault as anyone else. It takes too much of our precious time to write someone whom we care about a handwritten letter, not to mention the fact that you actually have to make a trip to the post office to drop it off.

To the people of my generation, the thought of snail mail sounds like an archaic concept. Times have changed, this is clear, but now we are seeing the impacts of technology. In this case it’s taking away jobs from hard working post office men and women around the country. Canada Post can’t keep up with the loss of revenue, as people abandon the use of the postal system. The Crown corporation reported a $327 million dollar
loss in 2011 and that number continues to grow. I hardly ever receive a handwritten letter, but on the rare occasion that I do I always feel a great sense of joy. I know that someone has put in the extra effort to show their appreciation or send their warm regards. We need to teach our children the importance of thank you cards and not just a quick text message or email. I’m going to teach my son the value of writing a letter or a thank you card and I hope that he will pass that along to his kids. Maybe if we all sit down and write a letter to a loved one, we can help to make sure that Canada Post doesn’t become a thing of the past.

LETTERS z VOTING
Pickings are slim in ‘13 Editor: The campaigning has been going on for months; the Liberals dredged up sins of the NDP leader and they ran ads about those sins. The NDP did not run any negative ads and for that I give them credit, because those negative ads are just so annoying to listen to. They tend to make me want to support the persons being bullied by any strong, wealthy party! It was rather ironic, that the Liberals got their knocks and just before the debate too, when the premier was accused of running a red light. All she
said in her defence was that it was 5:10 a.m. I never knew the seriousness of sins was directly related to the number of people sleeping. Those antique sins of the NDP were glazed over by the leader saying, “I was only 35 years old!” Wow, I thought 19 was the legal age. One does not usually associate 35 with youthful indiscretion. I always thought crimes were outlawed after seven years, but that does seem to apply in politics. I am not a NDP supporter but can see the folly of being too aggressive – it can backfire. The NDP remains on top of the polls, in spite of all negative publicity. An election is coming up but there is no one to vote for. I really feel it doesn’t matter which party forms the government,
z OPINION because there is in such a mess that it will require a serious amount of divine intervention to tidy it up. After listening to the debate, I found each party had about two points, which sounded good but to separate wheat from chaff was impossible. Who won? I don’t think there was a clear winner. The Liberal leader was the best bull-tweeter but the NDP seemed to be the most believable. Conservatives and Greens had some good ideas but the chances of either forming government appears now to be non-existent, so a vote for either, will not be productive. I’m not a Liberal fan either; I just seem to be disillusioned with them all. Lois Kimmel, Grand Forks

Should we change just for the sake of change?
I’m concerned that many British Columbians are more focused on “change” for the sake of change rather than electing the party most likely to foster job creation and financial stability. Our province’s resource endowment has always been a mainstay of both jobs and the generation of revenues needed to fund social programs. From what I have seen and heard, an NDP government would rev-up spending while stymieing resource development through endless environmental reviews and or by just saying “no,” driving investment to other provinces and other countries. We need new mines and gas fields, pipelines, refineries, ports and processing plants to replace jobs lost by tech change and by events like the pine beetle catastrophe Economic development and the protection of the environment are not mutually exclusive. Yes, we must be good stewards of our beautiful province, but we do have the technology to move the economy forward in an environmentally responsible manner. Saying “no” to new projects will mean job losses for currently employed and no opportunity for young people looking to

join the work force. We also need to focus on balancing the provincial budget, rather than taking money away from social programs to fund rising interest costs. Forty years of experience in business has taught me that too much debt is crippling. It scares me that the NDP have rolled out billions of dollars in new spending during this campaign and its “every dollar is accounted for” rhetoric just isn’t credible because its anti-development attitude will reduce revenue at the same time as spending rises. There is truth to the adage, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” The NDP came to power in 1991 and governed the rest of that decade. Investment dried up and economic growth trailed the rest of Canada. A low point came when the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce thanked the B.C. government for driving growth investment in Alberta. Glen Clark’s 1996-1999 ten-
ure was arguably the most disastrous for B.C. and with Adrian Dix, Premier Clark’s former chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very worried about history repeating itself. It took many years for the Liberals to repair the damage. During their time in government, North America suffered through a major recession and yet we now have a triple-A credit rating, higher than the U.S. government, allowing B.C. taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates Have the Liberals done everything right? Certainly not. The introduction of the HST by the Campbell government was badly handled. There have been other gaffes and ill-thought out policies. And while there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change long governing parties, it’s important not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without thinking about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a mountain of debt. I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully. And then get out and vote on May 14. – Gwyn Morgan is a retired businessman who lives in the Greater Victoria region
Education is of the utmost importance All trustees on the School District No. 51 board of education share my deep disappointment with the absence of public education as a topic in the recent provincial election TERESA leaders’ debate. REZANSOFF To me, this highlights the critical role that locally-elected trustees play as champions of public education. As the governors of public education, we are able to transform the needs, wishes and desires of the communities we serve into policies that direct our schools. We are able to respond to the concerns and issues brought forward to us. For instance, at a recent finance committee meeting, a group of parents told the board of concerns they had about some aspects of our proposed budget. Two students were also there with a petition declaring their feelings on a potential staffing decision for their school. When the board debates the budget for final approval, we will take into consideration those concerns and thoughts that were expressed to us. Our decision-making will take all of it into account. I was asked why I thought education should be an issue in this election and part of the leaders’ debate. It isn’t that the issues that were debated – the economy, jobs and pipelines, etc. – are not critical and important, because they are. It was the absence of education as an issue that was so concerning. The work of a healthy and sustainable society begins in our schools. Research tells us several things; economic progress goes hand-in-hand with a strong public education system. Well-educated citizens are healthier and live longer. We know there is no greater determinant of the long-term well-being for British Columbia and its citizens than the quality of its public education system. When students succeed, British Columbia succeeds. I view public education as a savings account; invest early and regularly and you will recoup much, much more than your original investment. While education may have been missing from the leaders’ debate, it is not missing from local all-candidates meetings. Here in the Boundary area, trustees, teachers, administrators and district Canadian Union of Public Employee (CUPE) members all joined together to ask our questions to those hoping to become the next Boundary-Similkameen MLA. At the recent annual general meeting for the BC School Trustees’ Association, trustees from across B.C. were sharing stories and strategies on how they engaged (or will be engaging) the candidates in their communities and sought commitments to the importance of public education. In scanning Twitter, I came upon tweet after tweet, many with pictures and video attached, of education questions being asked and answered at all-candidates meetings from all over B.C. Provincially, trustees, teachers and education workers are ensuring that the profile of public education is part of this election. The BCSTA has been running an effective election campaign for the past number of months; “We Value Public Education,” #MeTooBC. We wrote to the party leaders posing a set of questions on the education issues we felt were the most critical in this election. The answers have arrived and can be found on the BCSTA website www.bcsta.org. – Teresa Rezansoff is board chair for SD51 and president of the BC School Trustees Association

❚ 2013 B.C. ELECTION
Candidates talk about education issues
General Voting Day is next week (May 14) and School District 51, the Boundary District Teachers’ Association and the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 2098 sent an education-related questionnaire to Boundary-Similkameen candidates. Candidates were asked the following questions: 1. How will you/your party/government work to strengthen the co-governance relationship between boards of education and government? 2. Will you/your party/government commit to predictable and stable funding, which includes the annual addition of dollars to address costs for negotiated salary increases, increasing infrastructure expenses and provincial program implementation? 3. What is your position on free collective bargaining for the public education sector? 4. How will your government recognize and support education workers such as education assistants, custodians, bus drivers, maintenance and clerical staff in terms of a) funding whole jobs that support families and communities and b) allow for a high level of collaboration between teachers and classroom support workers? Here are there responses: Sam Hancheroff, BC NDP How will you/your party/government work to strengthen the co-governance relationship between boards of education and government? As a school trustee for three terms, I know how important this relationship is. The BC NDP would co-manage the education system in B.C., not just in words but in actions. The BC NDP would work with the school trustees on strengthening the co-governance of the education system. Will you/your party/government commit to predictable and stable funding, which includes the annual addition of dollars to address costs for negotiated salary increases, increasing infrastructure expenses and provincial program implementation? The BC Liberals changed the funding formula in 2001 and passed Bills 28 and 29, which in 2011 the Supreme Court of Canada deemed to be unconstitutional. A BC NDP government will direct new resources to classrooms around B.C. to provide students with the support they need, and to hire new teachers, education assistants, librarians and counsellors. The BC NDP has committed to spending over $250 million to hire new teachers, education assistants, librarians and counsellors. What is your position on free collective bargaining for the public education sector? The BC NDP supports free and fair collective bargaining rights, including the right to bargain class size and composition. We believe that successful negotiations with teachers occur at the bargaining table, not in the media and will work to restore a relationship with teachers based on respect. How will your government recognize and support education workers such as education assistants, custodians, bus drivers, maintenance and clerical staff in terms of (a) funding whole jobs that support families and communities and (b) allow for a
high level of collaboration between teachers and classroom support workers? The BC NDP education platform commits to provide students with the classroom support they need. We will hire 1,000 new teachers, teaching assistants, librarians, and counsellors. And we will place additional focus on students with special needs, Aboriginal and English as a Second Language (ESL) students. The BC NDP will invest $75 million in 2013/14, $90 million in 2014/15 and $100 million in 2015/16. John Kwasnica, Green Party of B.C. John Kwasnica issued the following statement: The Green Party is aware that the two arms of the political establishment in B.C. will square off on opposite ends of the tax and spend debate in education and elsewhere. Professional services and education are both a benefit and a burden. Today, individual school districts can only spend what the province funds. In a Green government, local school authorities would be free to develop curriculums specific to their needs. Professionals and education could fulfill their career mission of preparing the young for the challenges of the future. Academic goals may give way to specific skills training – the kind of education that will prepare us to deal with challenges of global warming and climate change Linda Larson, BC Liberals I have made my position clear on these questions so will not answer them individually. We have 73,000 less students and 16,000 more full-time teachers than in 2005. There is a lot of money inside the current school budgets and ways of managing the current envelope without huge increases is a challenge for all. Without putting even more money in there is no way to satisfy the requests in the (questionnaire). Doug Pederson, Independent There are some real problems in the education system. In all the years of computing at the highest levels, there wasn’t a job that I couldn’t have taught a Grade 8 student. I made that statement in 1993 to a class of 5 and 6 students. They cheered me, knowing I wasn’t lying to them. How much does the average citizen remember of their schooling? Maybe five per cent. Years ago at a company Christmas party, I was seated with two new staff both PhDs that had taught computer science. I had 15 years consulting, they had just taught computing. They knew that there was no way they could hold a candle to me as a consultant. When I was a kid, I told my mother that a friend of mine was so dumb he was in the dumb class and didn’t even know it. I didn’t tell him. This kid was made to feel inadequate for the rest of his life over information that was of no use in the real world.

My dad had a Grade 3 education and was the smartest in our family. Only one or two of my teachers would be in the same category as him. Education does not make one smart or better. A friend of mine was smarter at 20 than when I met him at 40. He spent most of his life around children. I’d sooner have a discussion with a 60-year-old barber than a 60-year-old grade school teacher. One engineer at the pulp and paper mill I was working at said, “Everything I know about pulp and paper I learned here.” We need way more master apprentice education for those that don’t fit in. At the same pulp mill, they replaced all the pulp testing staff with technical staff. The new staff would take samples to analyze and be back in 15 or 20 minutes with the results. The old timers would pick up some in their fingers and know the results by simply rolling it around. A trapper friend of mine knows more about the wildlife than any of the Fish and Game folks – hands down. I could go on and on but you get my point. And would be open to debate any of these issues on video. The most important course I took in grade school was typing. I was very fast and it made me look good wherever I went. These are facts that most people that aren’t in the education system know. As for your questions. Yes, I support you. Mischa Popoff, Independent I can’t believe the arrogance of the board of education, the teachers’ association and CUPE Local 2098. If we don’t get people back to work in the primary and secondary resource sector of this riding, we won’t have any money for education, or any other tertiary services. The province is broke! We’re teetering on becoming a have-not province like Quebec! It’s time to cut salaries and start cutting positions throughout the education sector of this province, from K to Grade 12 and beyond, right up to university. There are more than 70,000 fewer students enrolled in our schools, so by my calculations we need to start by eliminating 2,900 teaching positions. And even when we finally get the province back on a solid financial footing, it’s time to reassess what teachers – along with police, fire and other public-sector employees – are paid in B.C. We also need to reconsider the idea that it takes four, five, or even six years of university to become a teacher, along with the idea that teachers who go back to school to get master’s degrees deserve to be paid more for doing the exact-same work they did with a bachelor’s degree. As for collective bargaining, it’s impossible under the current system for taxpayers to even be represented at the bargaining table. Politicians and bureaucrats have proven themselves incapable and unwilling to stand up to teachers-union demands for more, more. Enough!

On Monday morning at 1:32 a.m., Grand Forks’ fire department requested police assistance for a wildfire on Hardy Mountain. “Fire Chief Dale Heriot advised that the fire appeared to have been deliberately set. Fire crews had just finished battling a previous fire less than half a kilometre away, only hours before,” said Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison, adding that the other fire was also suspicious. “At this point, we have no suspects and no witnesses. We patrolled the area extensively looking for anybody who would be hanging around and having an interest in a fire but there were no results,” Harrison said. “Thankfully no buildings were targeted in either fire, so anyone with any information please come forward and let us know.” Heriot said that the other fire occurred in the Saddle Lake reservoir area. “On the Saddle Lake fire, we had 17 personnel and three engines that attended. On the other fire, we had three engines and 15 personnel,” Heriot said. The close proximity of the two and the time of day the fires took place are
amongst the reasons Heriot said the fires appear suspicious. The forestry protection department are investigating both, Heriot said. There were a series of suspicious fires up the North Fork Road area in February but Harrison said the incidents don’t appear to be related. “I don’t see a connection there but it is possible,” he said. “It seems to be totally different circumstances though.” City Park benches, picnic tables take a dip Grand Forks RCMP received a report that park benches and picnic tables in City Park had been thrown into the river, in a mischief incident that occurred sometime overnight between May 2 and 3. “The complainants reported that (the previous night) between 9 p.m. and midnight, they could hear what they believe were teens yelling in the park. They heard both male and female voices,” said Harrison. City workers discovered the benches and tables the next morning, which were said to be in shallow water. “City workers were trying to fish the picnic tables and benches out of the river to get them were they belong, so obviously some mischief happening at
the park and we’re basically asking if anybody’s hearing unusual noises or events in the area of City Park, call us right away,” Harrison said. Car crashes into ditch on Old North Fork On May 1 around noon, Grand Forks RCMP received report of an abandoned vehicle on Old North Fork Road, about one kilometre from the north side of North Fork Road. “The vehicle was down a (4.6-metre) steep embankment on the south side; it was a 2003 grey Mazda Protégé,” explained Harrison. He said the roof was smashed up against a tree and the vehicle was not occupied when police arrived on the scene. “Obviously there had been an accident and the car had gone over. We did determine who the registered owner is and indications from examining the scene are that the vehicle left the road, after the road had been graded, and obviously it got into some soft gravel and pulled off the roadway to the right-hand side, down the embankment,” Harrison said, adding there were no witnesses and police are still trying to contact the owner. Call RCMP at 250-442-8288.

No gang problem but RCMP still work with agency
KARL YU
Gazette Editor
The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. (CFSEU-BC) is the province’s anti-gang police agency and while local RCMP say there isn’t a gang problem in the area, the two do liaise. “They have a branch out of Kelowna we liaise with quite consistently,” Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison says of the CFSEU-BC. “We share intelligence with that organization and quite frankly they’re members of the RCMP as well and they share information with us in regard to intelligence, so it’s one of the things the RCMP does and brings to this province, the ability to share that intelligence very quickly.” He says the CFSEU-BC is part of the process of amassing intelligence from
across the province and connecting the lines in regards to where criminals are travelling because organized crime doesn’t operate exclusively in one community. “They’re all over the place. They don’t recognize jurisdictions or boundaries,” explains Harrison. “There is a real big need for intelligence-gathering and sharing if we’re to be effective.” As for Grand Forks, Christina Lake and surrounding areas, there isn’t an overt gang problem but that isn’t to say criminal organizations are non-existent. “We don’t have a Hells Angel clubhouse or anything of that nature in our community but make no mistake about it, organized crime is involved in much of the drug trade in our area, no doubt about it,” explains Harrison. “As for gang activity, we’re not seeing overt gang activity at all other than what we suspect in the organized crime drug
trade.” Harrison says gangsters aren’t wandering around wearing colours, intimidating others but the local RCMP detachment does have a strategy to deal with gangs. “We’re in the process now of updating our intelligence lists in regard to potential gang and organized crime activities within all of the communities in the Southeast District of the RCMP,” he says. Harrison explains the intelligence list update happens annually, where RCMP do a “threat assessment” in regards to what it views as up-and-coming potential organized crime problems, and included in that are action plans on how to deal with them. “There’s not a lot (of gangs) in this area but we are mindful and aware that certainly, there is organized crime activity – it’s just very quiet,” Harrison says.

Water levels on the Kettle River are rising as temperatures heat up and the snowpacks melt.

The weather is heating up and the water levels on the Kettle River will be rising and moving fast. “There is really no way to predict whether we will see some flooding in the West Kettle or the main section of the river at this point, it really depends if the heat comes up quickly,” said Graham Watt, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Kettle River Watershed Management Plan project coordinator. “It’s something to monitor at this point. The river is close to its banks and it’s fairly high and moving swiftly.” Dave Campbell of the River Forecast Centre (Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations) said snowpack levels at Mission Creek, which lies in Greystoke Mountain Range east of Kelowna, are high, which could also be of some concern. “Mission Creek is a little higher than normal so areas that drain from there would see an increase in a potential risk from those watersheds,” he said. The Mission Creek snow station does not flow into the Ket-

tle River, but the snowpack station itself is close to the West Kettle. The Mission Creek snow station is near the headwaters of the Kettle so it’s reflective of what’s draining into the Kettle, said Campbell. With the rising temperatures over the weekend and continuing into the week, Campbell predicts that water levels in the Kettle will rise accordingly. “With a high pressure (system) setting in, we are going to see an onset of some warmer temperatures particularly feeding into the Kettle River, so we are expecting to see some increases in snowmelt rates and that will translate into the onset of rising water levels,” he said. Another thing to watch out for is bank erosion, said Watt, which can happen before flooding even happens. “The general thing for residents who live along the water or use the water, is to be really careful during the high water periods,” said Watt. A more detailed report on the snowmelt and water levels is being released this week by the River Forecast Centre, at which time the Gazette will be able to provide a more accurate view of the flooding situation.

It’s well-known that support reinforces breastfeeding rates. In 2012, the Boundary Family and Individual Services Society (BFISS) and Public Health Nursing partnered with the help of college students, Success By 6 and the local Rotary Club to enroll 60 businesses in the Breastfeeding Friendly Boundary initiative. Recognizing that breastfeeding is most successful when done anytime/ anywhere, these supportive businesses welcome families that are breastfeeding into their premises. For a map and listing of businesses taking part, go to maps.google.ca/maps/ms?vps=2&hl= en&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid
=200203791106392627608.0004d71e8742 96ad9acfc. The winners of a related breastfeeding friendly business draw are Lisa’s Bistro from Christina Lake and Kokomo’s Coffee House in Grand Forks; the businesses won activity centres for children. NSP Travel from Grand Forks and The Spot in Midway won baby change tables. With the help of a grant from the Grand Forks Credit Union and assistance from Success By 6, breastfeeding support is moving to a new level with the start of the Boundary Breastfeeding Café on May 14. While breastfeeding is normal and natural, learning to breastfeed can sometimes take a little time and patience. The purpose of the Boundary Breastfeeding Café is to create welcoming space for one hour every week, where women can gather to share experiences, information and support for
Serving the Boundary Country with Award Winning Service for over 36 years
one another. The café will be facilitated by volunteers, who are local mothers with breastfeeding experience and education, in collaboration with Baby’s Best Chance and Public Health Nursing staff. The café is open to women of any age who wish to breastfeed or to support breastfeeding. This includes pregnant and breastfeeding women (new to breastfeeding or experienced); grandmothers, aunts and sisters of women who are, or want to breastfeed; women who plan to adopt infants and women who may be artificially feeding their infants now but who want to learn more about breastfeeding. The Breastfeeding Café will commence May 14 and will take place every Tuesday morning from 10 to 11 a.m., upstairs in the Glanville Family Centre on the Perley Elementary School grounds. For more information call Cynthia Garnett at BFISS (250-442-5355).

Hi folks! We’ve got some exciting new tools in our metaphorical toolbox and I want to tell you about them. They are called online databases and they can be accessed through our website (using your library card number) at grandforks.bclibrary.ca. One of them, Imagine Canada/Grant Connect, allows non-profit organizations and charities to find potential funders. Two other ones, Auto Repair Reference Centre and Small Engine Repair, can guide you through repairs to any vehicle manufactured in the last 50 years, including motorcycles, boats, ATVs, chainsaws, tractors, lawn mowers, and more. We’ve also got Consumer Health Complete, for accurate and reliable medical and health information; KnowBC for all things British Columbia; as well as a series of journal, magazine, and newspaper databases for all ages. You’ll find some of these tools on the home page of our website (just scroll down a bit) and the full list under the “Information” tab. One thing to note: some of these tools are only accessible from the computers at the library (our website lists which ones). And now, let’s get to our event’s calendar. Cultural types On Thursday, May 9 at noon, Sarah Orlowski from Filbelly Forest will be presenting an informative slideshow of her permaculture studies in Nicaragua. On Friday, May 10 at noon, Lorraine Dick will be presenting a Learn @ Lunch talk on vermiculture – come and learn about worm composting! Dad’s Storytime We’ve got two Dad’s Storytimes this month: Saturday, May 11 and Saturday, May 18 at 10:30 a.m. They’re not just for dads – anyone can come along! Board meeting Ever wonder what a library board meeting is like? Well here’s your chance to find out. We will now be holding our monthly meetings at 4 p.m. (on the third Wednesday of the month) at the library. Come to listen, ask questions, or just to satisfy your curiosity. Fabulous Friday We’ll be having another of our popular allages Fabulous Friday events on May 17 from 1 to 3 p.m. – there will be snacks, chess, board games, crafts, and our excellent Xbox 360 Kinect. Before I Go To Sleep ... ... is the title of our May book club selection. It’s an internationally bestselling psychological thriller about a woman who wakes up every day with no knowledge of who she is. I haven’t read it yet but I know lots of people who have found it to be unputdownable (yes, that’s a word!). Happy reading! – Avi Silberstein is library director for the Grand Forks and District Public Library
What have they done to Grandpa? H
undreds of seniors are stuck in acute care hospitals and residential care homes – away from their loved ones – because the government cut home care and eliminated home support services. The government has downloaded services to volunteers and eliminated professional home support workers who are trained and accountable in dealing with the needs of seniors. Without proper home support, many seniors are needlessly forced into institutions.
Universal home support
COSCO is calling for universal home care and home support services, based on need, available seven days a week to seniors and people with disabilities. Such a service would allow thousands of seniors to live with dignity and respect in their own homes, close to families and friends. It would cost much less than acute or residential care. It would strengthen our overall public health care system by reducing the pressure on acute care hospitals. As a matter of both human decency and common sense economics, providing universal home support so people can remain in their own homes must be a priority for the next government of our province.
On May 14, please vote for a candidate who will respect seniors and their families by supporting universal home care and home support services

Turn grapes to wine at Kettle Valley Vintners
SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter
Grant Hill turned his hobby into his career when he opened Kettle Valley Vintners, Grand Forks’ only u-brew beer and winemaking facility. Making beer or wine in a u-brew, such as Kettle Valley Vintner, is a fairly simple process. “Customers comes in and purchase a wine or beer kit, they put the yeast in to make the wine, leave it in my care, I do a couple of steps through the process, they return to bottle the wine and then they can take it home,” said owner Hill. Wine kits range between $100 and $220 for completing the kit in store, which can also be done at home but requires a lot of space and costly start-up equipment. Customers will get 28 to 30 bottles out of a wine kit.
Hill’s business idea all started four years ago when he came to the Boundary and wanted to go to a u-brew to make some wine. “There wasn’t anything here and I had trouble finding work so I turned my hobby into my career,” he said. Hill has been a hobby wine maker for 10 years and when he was introduced to Winexpert, which is an international manufacturer of wine-making products, his passion grew even stronger. “I learned that there is a big difference in the quality of juice,” he said. Hill paired up with Winexperts, to sell their kits, which he believes are one of the world’s best u-brew wine kit producers. “Winexperts set me up with a u-brew in Kelowna. I worked there for a while, got the feel for something that is a lot bigger scale than what I’m doing and I was able to
MAKE YARD WORK
see what I needed to do to ramp it up, to meet the community’s needs,” said Hill. In terms of community needs, he said, that this is a service that’s been missed and the people are happy to have back in the community. “Traditionally it’s been a business that has worked here before,” he said in reference to a few other u-brew facilities that have come through town in the past. “It has a broad market and it can appeal to a lot of people on a lot of levels, the family, husband and wife, baby boomers, retirees and seniors love it, they have a real blast,” he said. For residents not interested in making wine, Hill also has beer kits available. “We have a carbonation unit and a filtration machine as well,” he said. Anyone interested in making beer or wine can visit Hill in the old Black Knight Market on 68th Avenue.

“We build partnerships with families and community by delivering services which enrich lives and shape our future.” In keeping with the mission of Boundary Family and Individual Services Society (BFISS), it is writing to share information regarding the services that are delivered through the Boundary Family Centre network. Family centres are located in or near elementary schools across the Boundary area and BFISS is co-located with Public Health Nursing at the Glanville Family Centre at Dr. D. A. Perley Elementary School and Midway Elementary School. BFISS provides a wide variety of programs to meet children, youth and family interests and needs and partners with many local organizations and individuals to create healthy communities, where families can grow and flourish. Working together with children, youth and families, and the organizations that families are connected with, is a cornerstone of its service delivery system and a process that is highly valued by families. Families share that their needs are better met, when the people that are providing support to them, work together. In order to deliver the services, BFISS is dependent on funding from the Ministry of Children and Family Development, the Ministry of Justice, the Public Health Agency of Canada, Interior Health and School District 51. It also enjoys the benefits of private donors and local organizations, such as the Phoenix Foundation and the Grand Forks Credit Union. In addition, many citizen collaborators and volunteers work with it to offer services to the communities.
BFISS provides a wide array of early years’ services that include both universal Early Learning Services and Early Intervention Services, which are available for families needing support with their young children’s development. Early Learning Services, such as StrongStart, the Community Action Program for Children drop-in groups and Early Childhood Development and Parenting programs are available for all families with children under six years of age. The Baby’s Best Chance program provides nutrition, parent education, a variety of supports, including breastfeeding and emotional support for pregnant women. Early Intervention services include the Infant Development Program, the Family Attachment Matters Program and therapy services for young children. Each of these programs work to support the child’s developmental growth and to strengthen the parent and/or caregiver child relationship. Child Youth and Family Services include family counselling, child and youth counselling, family support services, including Aboriginal Family Support Services and services for children and youth with disabilities. BFISS provides a variety of parenting programs, including the popular Connect Parenting Program and Nobody’s Perfect Program on a rotation basis in communities throughout the Boundary. Additionally, BFISS partners with the school district to provide after-school sports, arts, mentoring and other groups that increase children’s access to active, healthy activities. For more information about Boundary Family and Individual Services Society, call 250-442-2267 or 1-877-442-5355, check out the website at www.boundaryfamily. org or connect with the society at the Boundary Family and Individual Services Society Facebook group page.

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter
Karen Head is strapped into an oxygen tank 24 hours a day, but even with the aid of oxygen, taking her dogs for a walk around the block is too physically demanding. Karen was diagnosed with emphysema in 2004 and her life has changed significantly since that day. In an effort to try and improve this Grand Forks resident’s quality of life, friends and strangers have rallied behind her to raise funds for a scooter. Her friend and neighbour Melissa Shaw started asking for help when she posted this message on Facebook. “I’m wishing for a medical scooter for a dear friend. She is young but has very serious struggles with breathing. She needs oxygen around the clock, and her life is becoming smaller and smaller because the tanks are too heavy for her to carry around. She has two lively dogs that desperately need walks, and a scooter would make it possible for all of them to get out and enjoy the sunshine,” wrote Shaw.
An overwhelming show of support followed the post. “There was a whole raft of us, as soon as Melissa posted a blurb it was a never ending thing that night of people saying ‘I would donate this and I would donate that,’” said Cheryl Andersen, a Grand Forks resident and fellow fundraising organizer. A fundraising account at CIBC has now been opened and there are four donation jars set up around town: one at Overwaitea, Buy-Low Foods, The Station Pub and the bottle depot on Donaldson Drive. “It’s been really overwhelming, all these people I don’t event know helping out,” said Head. “It’s just amazing, the first time it was all going on Facebook I would cry every time I read it.” Head said she likes to get out of the house and go into town every day, but she is forced to take her car, because walking into town, which is only a kilometre from her house, is out of the question. “I might be able to make it to town but I would never be able to make it back up,” she said, as she describes becoming extremely short of breath and not to mention the fact that she has to haul around an air tank that only lasts a few hours before it runs out of oxygen. “It’s frustrating because I used to be really active,” she said. “I used to love riding my bike, I tried that once and I didn’t even make it halfway around the block,” she said. “The emphysema effects your balance, I was so wobbly it was really scary.” Head thinks having a scooter would really allow her to enjoy the outdoors. “That would be perfect, to be able to run up and down to town and plus I have two dogs so I cant walk them. They would be in their glory if they could go out for walks,” she said. To date, a couple hundred dollars have been raised, but a decent scooter costs anywhere from $1,500 to $2,000, according to Andersen. Head said she used to be a smoker and that didn’t help, but she was also unaware that she had an Alpha 1 deficiency, which helps in the recuperation of lungs. “There are so many things in our lives that we think, should I have done that, but hopefully you can just pass that message along to people, my daughter, she won’t ever smoke because she has seen what it’s done to me,” she said. “Don’t do it to your body, it’s not worth it.” Residents who would like to help Head can make a contribution at the CIBC, or at one of the four donation jars around town. She is also having a hot dog fundraiser on May 10 and 11, in front of Overwaitea Foods.

Daily water use more than it seems By the time you finished breakfast this morning, you may have already used 1,000 litres of water. But for the average B.C. resident, showering, flushing, washing dishes, making coffee adds up to 160 or so litres. So what’s going on? Our daily water use, or footprint, is only partly made up of what flows out of our taps and toilets. The other part is virtual – water that was used to grow or produce the foods, goods, and energy we use every day. If you add up the total water use required to manufacture, grow or produce a food product or consumer good, you have its water footprint. The best we can do is to coarsely estimate this footprint. For your breakfast, the egg (200 litres), toast (40 litres), milk (255 litres), cereal (100 litres) and coffee (140 litres) used far more water than your five minute shower (100 litres) or toilet flush (15 to 20 litres). Add a sausage for 1,700 litres! Drive to work and you need to include up to 100 litres per litre of fuel plus the 60,000

litres used to make your car. A few key terms help us understand water use. Consumptive use is where the water is evaporated, transpired by plants or incorporated into products. It is no longer usable as a water source until it condenses, falls as precipitation and is stored, usually somewhere else. With non-consumptive water use, water just passes through our bodies, homes or fields before flowing back into the ground or into the wastewater treatment facility, and ultimately the river. The important thing about non-consumptive use is that the water is altered in some way. On its way from the surface to the aquifers, it picks up all sorts
of substances – nitrates, salts and pesticides. As it passes through our bodies, water picks up lots of nutrients as well as whatever medications, hormones and personal care products we’ve applied. It’s altered and conventional treatment can only take out some of the additives. So the source of our virtual water determines its impact. If our products come from areas with high water scarcity and ecosystems that are stressed by pollution, the overall impact may be much higher than products from wetter areas with lower pollution loads. And when it comes to virtual water, everywhere is someone’s backyard and drinking water source. It can make a big difference to someone’s water when we lower our water footprint. Find out more about water footprints at www.waterfootprint.org. – Contact Graham Watt (plan@kettleriver.ca) about this or any other watershed questions. Watt is Kettle Watershed Management Plan project co-ordinator for the RDKB.

z RACQUET SPORTS
SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter
Pickleball is highly infectious but while it’s not life- threatening, this feverous racquet sport is grasping hold of thousands of people across the country. “Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in North America,” said Wayne Hall, a Grand Forks senior who got hooked on the sport four years ago. The rules of the game combine elements of badminton, tennis, table tennis, and ping-pong. The sport is played on a court with the same dimensions as in badminton and the net is lower than most other racquet sports. The game is played with a wiffle ball and a hard paddle, about twice the size of a ping-pong paddle. Hall and a group of seniors got into the sport in Palm Springs, where they spend most of their winters, and have brought the love of the game back home – there are two courts at Barbara Ann Park in Grand Forks. “The city was kind enough to paint the pickleball lines within the (tennis) courts so the courts are multi-purpose,” said Hall. The game is growing widely popular with seniors. “In particularly, it’s very active for seniors because it’s not as hard on your knees or body as what tennis or racquetball or some of these other sports are,” he said. Two players from Grand Forks, who also reside down south for the winter, brought back a few pickle ball trophies. In a U.S.A Pickleball Association-sanctioned tournament, which is limited to 120 players,
Bonnie Olson of Grand Forks won gold medal in women’s double and Dave Schneider, also of Grand Forks, took the gold medal in men’s doubles. Together they also won the gold medal for mixed doubles. Now that they are back for the summer, these local pickleball aficionados have brought there infectious winning spirit back to Grand Forks. Hall says he is going to try and organize three, drop-in days, where new or seasoned pickleballers can come together and play at Barbara Ann Park. For more information on the game or getting involved, call Wayne Hall at 250-442-0569.

The Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS) rugby team has been in action for about three weeks. There is a junior team, which consists of athletes from Grades 8 to 10 while the senior team is comprised of Grades 11 and 12 – there are 28 total players. “The season started April 19 in Kamloops and then we play four regional play days four weeks in a row between Nelson, Grand Forks, Trail and Cranbrook,” explained head coach Scott Stewart. “The junior team has played five games so far (2-3 record) and the senior team has played two games as a combined group with Rossland and two as its own squad.

improving despite an 0-4 record and every game has been close.” Stewart said the team is playing well, especially considering several players are playing rugby for the first time and he is very happy with their progress. The district earns only one berth to the rugby provincials, which take place the last week in May, and Nelson is the defending champion. The teams play Nelson next Wednesday and have an intra-squad game at GFSS on Friday at 11 a.m. Stewart is assisted by co-head coach Keith Kuromi and assistants Keith Faulkner and Tim Carson.

Peace in the Promised Land z View From The Pulpit JOHN SIEMENS
How can there be peace in Jerusalem? Why does an area of land as big as the West Kootenay Boundary have so much potential for violence and bloodshed? An Old Testament proverb that says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish,” or where there is no seeking God for his solution, people will suffer. It is hard to understand the magnitude of the problems that people in that area face. Having walked in their shoes for one week, I have observed some of the tensions. There are at least three different groups of people that live in this land of promise. There are Jewish people, who are returning to this area as a result of the United Nations resolution in 1947 to provide a homeland for them especially after the Holocaust where six million perished. The Jews also believe that this land was promised to them by God as an everlasting possession. They lived here from the time of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob until the time of Christ, when Rome invaded and destroyed the Jewish temple. Some Jews remained in the land and many were dispersed to other countries. The second group, the Palestinians, lived here thousands of years as well. They too rightfully claim Abraham as their forefather. They are the descendants of Ishmael, son of Abraham by his concubine Hagar. These people also claim that God promised them specific territory in Palestine, “He shall dwell in the presence
of all his brethren,” (Genesis 16:12b), meaning among Jewish people. Many Palestinians claim seventh century Muhammad as their prophet; he led them to victory over adjacent tribes and established the city of Medina, Saudi Arabia as their base and the city of Mecca as the destination for a holy pilgrimage. However they soon set their sights on Jerusalem as well. A century after Muhammad’s death, Jerusalem was taken by Islamic forces. Through the centuries, Jerusalem was ruled by Muslims, Crusaders, Ottomans, the British (after the First World War) and by Jordan after the War of 1948. When the Israelis fought back in 1967, they pushed back Jordan and kept Jerusalem. Today both Muslims and Jews coexist in Jerusalem and even worship in the same area – the Temple Mount of the Jews is also the sight of the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The mosque’s outside wall is also the wall the Jews pray at – the Western Wall. It is no wonder that tensions sometimes become physical and regrettably dangerous. There is another group that
The family of the late Peter Popoff would like to thank the following people for their loving support to Peter and our family. To the doctors, thank you for your wonderful medical expertise and care that you each gave Peter while he was in the hospital prior to his passing. We would also like to thank the Boundary Hospital staff, including the wonderful nurses who took special care of our Dad/Husband during his stay in the hospital and thank you to the Sunshine Manor staff who worked with Peter while he was temporarily in respite care. Thank you to the Home Support nurses and staff who came to help with Peter when he was brought home. Each of you helped to make Peter more comfortable during his last days and for that we are truly grateful. We extend a very special and heartfelt thank you, to Dan Venables and Roxanne Jones for kindly assisting and supporting us when help was needed. Thank you to Taya Voykin for the beautiful singing at Peter’s service.We were deeply touched by the power and beauty in the love-filled performance you gave for all of us. During these last weeks, we have been blessed with many wonderful acts of love and support from many people. Thank you to all who came to visit, phoned, brought meals, sent flowers, money and cards and emailed with your messages of love and support. We are so thankful to know all of you and have you in our lives. To our extended family, thank you for your ongoing presence in our lives. We love you. We were very happy to see so many people attend the service for Peter. It was wonderful to see the many faces of people who came to pay their respects to him. We thank you for making the memorial a beautiful gathering of love in the memory of Peter. Finally, we would like to say thank you to Aaron and Chelsea at the Grand Forks Funeral Home for your compassion and professionalism.
Thank you to everyone from the bottom of our hearts. May God Bless All of You, Laverne, Karen, Sharen, Sandra and Andy

comes to Jerusalem. It comes as a pilgrimage to walk “where Jesus walked.” It has no claim to the land or city. It treasures the history of Abraham and his descendants for from them came the Messiah, Jesus Christ, as was proven by his miracles, his death and his resurrection. These Christians cannot claim a perfect record in history – there are events and individuals that mar the ages and have hurt many innocent people. So Christians can only claim the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and seek to follow him closely in their lives. Jesus’ message is one of peace and he taught his followers to be peacemakers. It is only the power of the Christ who loved his enemies on the cross, when he prayed, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do;” it is only his power that helps us forgive and to take responsibility for our own mistakes. Today I understand more clearly the command of the Bible that says, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” Only the power of the Christ can help us in our world of selfish ambitions to find room for each other and live in peace and co-operation. – John Siemens, is pastor of First Baptist Church in Grand Forks

She was born on February 22, 1942 in Ailsa Craig, Ontario. Mary was predeceased by her parents Tom and Birdetta Gagan. Mary was a book keeper who loved nothing better than a messy set of books that needed to be cleaned up. The later few years she worked for Miller Springs water company as their bookkeeper and financial officer, only stopping when she became sick. She was the treasurer of the Fair association for over 17 years and was recently made a life member of that organization. Mary very much loved live theater and old movies. One of Mary’s greatest loves the last few years was the “grandchildren” that she got from her “Framily”. A memorial celebration of life service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday June 1, 2013 at the Rock Creek Pavilion. A donation to the charity of your choice or the children’s hospital, or the cancer society would be appreciated in lieu of flowers. Condolences and tributes may be directed to the family by visiting www.nunes-pottinger.com Arrangements entrusted to Nunes-Pottinger Funeral Service & Crematorium, Oliver & Osoyoos.

Joke of the Week: A pair of aardvarks are planning their marriage and family. The female says, “First thing, we have to put away a hundred dollars for the plastic surgeon.” The male asks, “Why a hundred for the plastic surgeon?” The female says, “In case the baby is born with a small nose.”
