Linda Larson of BC Liberals has taken the Boundary-Similkameen and will be the riding’s new MLA. As of press time, Larson received 7,686 votes out of 16,621 and took 46.24 per cent of the popular vote. Larson became the BC Liberal candidate earlier in the year, after it was announced that former MLA John Slater would not be seeking reelection. “It so difficult because months ago, we started, I would say, behind considerably. With one thing or another, this riding had some real upheaval and we started with nothing and with a small team of volunteers to begin with, we were able to make contact and I can’t nail down one particular reason why we did as well as we have, other than the fact that I did make an effort to be in every riding more than once,” Larson told the Gazette. When asked what issues were at the top of her agenda, Larson said it was hard to pick one as every area she visited had concerns, however she did say that she was aware of some concerns in the Grand Forks area. “I’ve got quite a lot from the Grand Forks area. Certainly by talking to people there are a couple of really good documents that have been
put together on rural British Columbia and lots of people in the Grand Forks and Christina Lake area that were involved in those,” Larson said. “I spoke to the people who are looking at the community forest and woodlots and there seems to be some potential there provided that they can get some of the regulations shifted in their direction. I’m hopeful there is something I can move forward for everybody,” she said. BC NDP Sam Hancheroff, like Larson came onto the scene late and took 6,531 total votes, or 39.29 per cent of the popular vote, as of press time. Hancheroff conceded to Larson late last night and said it was a learning experience. “I’d like to thank all the people who took the time to listen to me and talk to me throughout the month of the campaign,” Hancheroff said. “I felt there were a lot of important things I learned from this scenario from talking to people.” “I felt I did the best I possibly could with the folks that I work with. They did a fantastic job,” he said. John Kwasnica of the Green Party of BC received 1,469 total votes as of press time (8.84 per cent of popular vote) while Independents Mischa Popoff received 593 votes (3.57 per cent) and Doug Pederson received 342 (2.06 per cent). Final voting results will not be available until after the conclusion of the final count, which begins on May 27 said Elections BC.

z RIVERS
Flood watch ended for local rivers
Residents living along the Kettle River can breath a sigh of relief as the BC River Forecast Centre ended a flood watch advisory on Tuesday morning. The Granby River has also been downgraded from a flood watch advisory but a high stream flow advisory is still in affect. Levels are expected to drop. The high water levels along the Granby and Kettle that caused the forecast centre to implement a flood watch advisory on Sunday were triggered by a week-long warm weather pattern. “The hot temperatures are what really started to ramp up the snow melt rates and all that water (was) coming down to the river systems,” said David Campbell, head of the BC River Forecast Centre. The Granby and the Kettle Rivers were both sitting at a two to five year flow level (which is an average yearly peak level) over the weekend, which was not of grave concern, said Dan Derby, deputy regional fire chief and emergency program co-ordinator with the Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue. “A lot of the issues we are seeing right now are more ground seepage issues at this time. We can’t do anything about ground seepage.” The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary emergency program was activated last week, which allowing staff to respond for requests for sandbags from residents, according to a press release from the City of Grand Forks. One of the concerns was rainfall, as upwards of 30 millimetres of rain was predicted for the area between Monday and Tuesday. BC Forecast Centre stated that a moderate amount of precipitation could have led to flood potential along the Kettle and the Granby. However, low rainfall amounts on Monday and Tuesday, along with cooling temperatures, led to stabilized river levels. Residents are reminded to stay away from riverbanks and be aware of large debris in the rivers. High water levels can push logs and other large debris into the river increasing the danger to people. The BC River Forecast Centre will continue to monitor conditions and will provide updates as conditions warrant. For more information go to bcrfc.env.gov.bc.ca/warnings/index.htm.

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter
Whispers of Hope, Habitat for Humanity Boundary and the Boundary Emergency and Transition Housing Society (BETHS) have entered into an agreement and together the trio will be moving into old veterinary building and neighbouring lot at 7212 Riverside Drive. By amalgamating these three registered nonprofit societies together, the City of Grand Forks will have a permanent shelter for homeless people, a soup kitchen and thrift store, three transition-housing units and a retail store all in one location. “The existing facility, (7212 Riverside Drive), will house BETHS and Whispers of Hope, and Habitat for Humanity Boundary will construct a (store) on the adjacent lot,” said Rick Friesen, executive director of the Habitat for Humanity Boundary Society. “We believe this collaborative affiliation of not-for-profit charities is relatively unique in our province and as such, will be of significant interest to our communities.” Habitat for Humanity Boundary is planning to construct the retail store, or ReStore, which would generate revenue for its home building program here in the Boundary, said Friesen. “The ReStore is a retail outlet that is going to sell lightly used and new building product, so people that have kitchen cabinets for example, who are changing can donate the old ones that are still in good condition to the ReStore,” he said. “Most of the product that we sell is going to be 30 per cent of retail price.” Another benefit to the ReStore is that it takes a significant amount of material that would be destined for the dump. “Across Canada last year, 25,000 metric tons of waste was diverted from the landfill by 76 ReStores,” added Friesen. Jim Harrison, chair of the board of BETHS, said the major benefit would be the centralization of services. “For us, the move was a logical one to make. It also keeps it fairly central in town, which is walking distance for most of our clients, who tend to gravitate towards the town centre,” he said. Another benefit of creating a permanent space for BETHS is it will be able to install showers, washer and dryer facilities, which were not available when BETHS was operating out of the Christian Centre behind Overwaitea Foods, said Harrison. “It also gives us opportunity to renovate a
custom facility that is designed especially for the purpose, including proper bedding and every thing else,” he added. Mike Robb, project co-ordinator of Whispers of Hope, thinks the new facility will help the thrift store sales. “If you come to the thrift store you have to walk right through the front door where people eat and some people are intimidated by what they think is our clientele,” said Robb. “We feel that with another entrance (because this place would supply us with a separate entrance to a thrift store) we could improve our sales in the thrift store and in that way, we would be able to help more people,” he said. Harrison said the partnership would be a way to cut costs for each organization. The three non-profits proposed that the city charge a minimum base rent of $1 per year and in addition five per cent of net profits generated from the social enterprise components. “It would allows us to take the money that we save on accommodation and put it towards direct service to our clients,” said Harrison. Friesen said the city accepted the proposal as presented; however, city CAO Doug Allin suggested that if the ReStore is making significant profit, then they could look at modifying that percentage rate. “The terms of arrangement have to be worked out by city staff,” said Allin. He added that the agreement may be a good model for the non-profits and the city. “We have three different societies working towards the same common goal but at the end of the day they are paying considerably high rent and considerably high costs for their operations. This (arrangement) will allow them to utilize a proven system with Habitat for Humanity, which is big all the way across North America, so it’s a good business model for helping those in need,” he said. The cost of the project is estimated to be $230,000 amongst the three groups. “We are delighted on behalf of Habit for Humanity, BETHS and Whispers of Hope that the city has made this decision. We are now waiting for the lease to be signed, and the approval of the road closure,” said Friesen. Allin said that council approved entering into the lease agreement and closing a portion 72nd Avenue from Riverside Drive to the river, but there are still logistical details to be worked out before the agreement is finalized.

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
Teaming of three a good idea Grand Forks has a number of charitable organizations and in a brilliant move, three like-minded groups will be sharing the same roof. Habitat for Humanity Boundary has been building homes for low income families for well over 16 years and in fact, it recently completed a multiplex in Grand Forks that takes into consideration the environment, as it was built with BuiltGreen certification. The Boundary Emergency and Transition Housing Society (BETHS) only operates for part of the year but it provides people a place to spend the night in the colder months, as not everyone has the luxury of a roof over their heads. Originally called Hands of Mercy, Whispers of Hope provides meals and food for people and operates a thrift shop as well. While the agreement isn’t finalized yet, the three are looking to move into the old veterinary building on Riverside Drive. It only seems natural that all three not only work together but share the same building as well, especially the latter two given that people who spend the night in the extreme weather shelter will want something to eat in the morning. Providing affordable housing is a worthy endeavour but it doesn’t come cheap. There will be a store that sells affordable, and in some cases, used building material, and that will be able to provide a revenue stream, as well as cut down on material going to the landfill. Also, Habitat for Humanity Boundary may be able to use some of the products from the retail store for some of its projects. For the past few seasons, BETHS operated out of the Grand Forks Christian Centre but people were essentially sleeping in the worship area of the centre or in office space areas. With the new building, there will not only be proper areas, there will be facilities where people can clean and bathe. The three non-profits have been providing for others and have similar goals and bringing them together only makes sense. Habitat for Humanity Society executive director Rick Friesen said the three collaborating is fairly unique to B.C. and hopefully more communities emulate this.

I have entered back into a bad relationship again. I thought I was free, but I was pulled back in. While friendship, love and respect define healthy relationships, this one has none of the aforementioned. People say that relationships are give and take but this one seems to be taking my sanity. I’ll admit that sometimes things look great. I’ll feel a sense of euphoria and it seems everything is looking great but it is usually short-lived. In a split second, things will look bad again – I’ll also admit to cursing and swearing during these low periods. They say you have to work on a relationship and believe me, that’s exactly what I’m doing. I’m seeking help and I’m working on it. But the harder I work, the worse off it seems I am.

relationship many years ago and suffered through it. I ended it and went a few years without worrying about it but it began again last year with a few dates – again, some were good, some were bad. After breaking for the winter, I decided to give it a whirl again and find myself back in that polarizing type of situation. A quick search of the Internet yields numerous results about how to maintain a healthy relationship. Stay involved with one another, says one website, but it seems like I’m the only one investing any time.
Communicate says another. The only verbalizing seems to be the aforementioned swearing. Be yourself, says another relationship site: believe me I’m doing that. Another website says spend time together and I am definitely doing that, taking time out of my busy schedule to work on this – ditto for a site that says be attentive. The problem with this relationship is that I seem to be the only one who is putting in the time and effort, emphasis on the word putting. But I know that despite the number of times I attend golf lessons and work on my swing and despite the times I make a good shot, I know there will be bad shots as well. Anyone that tells you that golf is just a game doesn’t know what they’re talking about. But I’ll keep coming back.

Issues of water and protection Editor: Wilderness society gets $50K (story, April 17 issue) Does the Kettle River Management Plan warrant $50,000? Why spend more on a study if there is no intestinal fortitude to talk about the real problem, cows and the politics of ranching? Source water protection is the goal of all credible water management plans; no domestic animals in important water courses, vegetative buffers and restrictive manure management. Source water protection is the law in Ontario thanks to an incident in Walkerton in May 2000. Seven dead, 2,300 seriously ill and over 40 with serious life time health problems, all from the E. coli from cow manure in the town’s water system. Eholt Creek, a fish-bearing creek, is seriously compromised
by horses, sheep and alpacas. There is no riparian area management and the manure is piled close to the creek. This is just one of hundreds of examples you can find in domestic watersheds and the like throughout the Boundary. Has anything changed politically that gives us hope that the public interest will prevail and the antiquated tradition of cows living in all our rivers and streams will come to an end? Grand Forks is changing, many of the valley’s residents, including new arrivals, believe the cow needs to be controlled; a point re-enforced at the fall fair when discussing the Gilpin Wildlife Management Area designation. This argument is further supported by the fact that a growing number of adults no longer want to recreate in the Kettle River. Idle No More, the recent First Nations’ agenda, may well be the most important initiative that gives hope that water source protection will not be another lost opportunity to get it right; after all, First Nations have made it clear they have a right to potable water. One of their strong supporters, a well-known BC Conservative politician, told me there was no stakeholder group more

First Nations’ issues in a historical context We have seen a fair amount of coverage in the news lately on First Nations’ issues. In this first installment on the First Nations, I think it might be helpful to put this into an ALEX historical context. ATAMANENKO The situation of Métis, Inuit, and First Nations peoples is one of the most complex and persistent challenges for the federal government. Successive Liberal and Conservative governments have failed to establish an agreement on the place of Indigenous peoples in the Canadian federation and their average living conditions remain far below other Canadians. Aboriginal issues capture mainstream public interest in a cyclical way – when a crisis emerges. The Idle No More movement (INM) arose as a protest against changes to the Navigable Waters Protection Act, which were part of the Conservative’s 2012 budget implementation bill, but quickly became a nation-wide peaceful protest movement that has galvanized Aboriginal and non-aboriginal Canadians to demand change. Popular pressure and a hunger strike prompted a high-level meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) in January, after which the prime minister agreed to provide oversight of the file. AFN National Chief Shawn Atleo’s decision to attend the meeting on the prime minister’s terms was controversial among First Nations and revealed a divide between First Nations leadership and a grassroots movement increasingly frustrated with the status quo. The Aboriginal population represents approximately four per cent of Canada’s overall population. According to Statistics Canada’s 2006 Census, there are approximately 1.7 million people who identify as having some First Nations, Inuit or Métis heritage in Canada, among whom almost 1.2 million report an “Aboriginal Identity,” marking a stronger attachment to that heritage. Of this number, almost 400,000 are Métis, 50,000 are Inuit and the others (700,000) have “North American Indian” background. Half of Aboriginal peoples in Canada are under the age of 25, and the population is growing at 2.5 times the rate of the rest of the country. This makes Aboriginal peoples the youngest and fastest growing population segment in the country, which will increase the significance of this demographic over time. In 1969, the Trudeau government published a paper on “Indian policy” that recommended scrapping the Indian Act, abolishing the Indian Affairs Department’s special programs and transferring Indian lands to Indian people and away from ownership by reserves. Aboriginal leaders denounced the paper as a recipe for assimilation. They said it rejected their special standing in Canada as the original occupiers of the land. The Federal NDP joined them in this position. Trudeau relented and in 1982, existing Aboriginal and treaty rights were recognized and affirmed in Section 35 of the Constitution. Despite several government policy moves towards recognizing self-government, successive Liberal and Conservative governments have failed to make progress on establishing a true “nation-to-nation” relationship. Following the 1990 Oka Crisis, the federal government created a Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP). In 1996, RCAP made over 400 recommendations including that the Indian Act be replaced by a third order of government for Indigenous peoples within Canada. This was welcomed by a majority of Indigenous peoples, as well as the Federal NDP. Progress on implementing the recommendations has been very slow, and most is left undone. In 2005, just as they were heading to certain defeat after a decade in power, the Martin government put forward the Kelowna Accord. In the Accord it pledged a $5.1-billion budget plan to address the low standard of living of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada so that it would be equal to that of all other Canadians. When the Harper government came to power, it promised to meet the targets of the Accord, but has failed to do so. In 2008, the federal government issued an Official Apology to the Survivors of Residential Schools. In his speech, the prime minister acknowledged the important role NDP Leader Jack Layton had played in pushing for the apology to take place.

Canada Post eyes private outlet
SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter
Canada Post is looking to open a private retail post office at the intersection of Market Avenue and Fourth Street, one block from its corporate office. “What we are trying to do is expand the service to our customers. Our corporate offices are only open basically business hours, not evening or weekends, so this gives us an opportunity for customers to go and pick up parcels and do postal business when they are doing their other business at night or on the weekend,” said John Caines, Canada Post’s national media relations spokesman. Grand Forks’ Canadian Union Postal Workers (CUPW) thinks this is the Crown corporation’s way of slowly pushing them out of businesses. “It isn’t a good thing at all. We can’t see any good coming from opening up another post office, looking distance from the one we have right now,” said Jessica McDonald, president of Grand Forks’ CUPW (746). “The only reason we can see behind that is it’s another step in the corporation ultimately wanting to privatize.” Co-worker and CUPW 746 vice-president Gregg Anderson said the privatization of post offices is happening all over the country. “They are doing this all across Canada. They want to open a private retail post office very close to every corporate post office,” he said. However, Caines said it’s time for the business to change. “We are looking at a billion dollar loss by 2020,” he said. “We are everywhere and we always do market research and reviews of the cities and towns that we work in to make sure that we are servicing the communities and towns properly, and if we need to change things around by moving them, or relocating them, or opening or closing then that’s what we do,” he said. The Grand Forks postal workers think it’s a degradation of service. “I think if they staffed us here properly, we would be just
fine. I don’t see the sense in opening up an entirely new building with people who are not paid a living wage,” said McDonald, as she explained that the workers employed by a private retail post office are not unionized and most likely only paid minimum wage. Corporate Canada Post workers do have job security under their union contract, but that contract is up for review in two years. “What they seem to be doing across the country is they are not firing anybody but they are not filling vacant positions – they call it attrition – and when people are retiring they are not filling those positions,” said McDonald. Caines said that Canada Post would only fill vacant positions if it were required. “A lot of staff, when they retire, won’t be replaced ... but if we need them there, we will keep them there but if not, they won’t be refilled,” he said. McDonald said just losing one staff member would be detrimental to service. “Right now we are working on bare bones. When we have a staff member away and they won’t replace that person, there is mail not going out. There is mail sitting there because we don’t have enough people to do the jobs,” she said. Anderson believes that Canada Post’s plan is to completely weed out the corporate offices and rely on its private offices. “They don’t have to fill our positions when people retire, so they slowly weed you off and close the corporate office,“ he said. Bringing in a private retail post office will take away decent paying jobs from the community, said the local vice-president. “It’s taking away decent paying jobs and that money would stay in this community where we spend it, it’s not good for the community, it’s not good for anyone, it’s just saving Canada Post some money,” he said. “Why do you need two post offices in a small town?” Caines said that Canada Post is in the consultation process and that it won’t be actively searching for a private business partner until July, as a 90-day notice period has been in effect since April 10.

Lilgert found guilty in Queen of North trial KOLBY SOLINSKY Black Press
Navigating officer Karl Lilgert has been found guilty of criminal negligence in the 2006 sinking of the Queen of the North Passenger ferry. Lilgert, who has resided in Grand Forks, was convicted with negligence causing the death of two passengers – Gerald Foisy and Shirley
Rosette, who have not been found – in the ship’s sinking on March 22, 2006. Lilgert was originally charged in 2010, and the jury had been deliberating since last week. His trial began this past January. Lilgert was on the ferry’s bridge during the accident, when the Queen of the North missed a turn and struck an island. According to Vancouver radio station News 1130,
“The Crown alleged Lilgert neglected his duties when he missed a turn and then failed take evasive action or slow the ship down, while Lilgert testified he was doing everything he could to navigate the ship through rough weather, and his lawyers blamed unreliable equipment and poor policies within BC Ferries.” Lilgert will be sentenced on June 21.

Q.
Are you ready for camping season?
What you need to know before towing a recreational trailer... Most recreational trailers have a GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight - the weight of the trailer and its load) of less than 4,600 kg and may be driven by a driver who holds a class 5 or 7 Driver’s Licence.
A.
If the towing vehicle or trailer is equipped with air brakes, an air brakes endorsement to the Driver’s Licence is required before the vehicle or trailer can be operated. If you want to tow a recreational trailer (or any trailer) that has a GVW of more than 4,600kg, you are required to apply for either a higher class of Driver’s Licence or an endorsement to your existing class. This will involve a knowledge test and road test. To know for sure, you should contact a Driver’s Licensing Office like our Castlegar Downtown or New Denver offices so they may assist you in determining what you require for your specific situation. It is your responsibility to ensure you have the appropriate drivers licence and driving skills for the trailer you are towing. If you do not have the proper licence, you can be ticketed and may be in breach of your insurance in the event of a crash. If you aren’t sure of the weight of your recreational trailer, take it to a weigh scale, fully loaded, and have it weighed at no charge. For more information please call any Driver’s Licensing Office like our New Denver (250-358-2617) or Castlegar Down Town (250-365-3392) offices.

Church looks to take over wildlife hall
SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter
The Grand Forks Baptist Church will be moving into the wildlife hall at 7850, Second Street. The move won’t happen right away as the church still has some time left on its current lease at 752 Market Avenue. According to the City of Grand Forks, upgrades to the wildlife hall would need to be completed in order to meet the B.C. Building Code to use the facility as a group occupancy facility. Despite the $30,000 of expected upgrades, Pastor Brett Swope is optimistic about the church’s future home. “It’s a larger space for our church as
well as the fact that it’s a space with a huge potential in regards to the community,” he said. “Our vision for the space is to have our church and ministries there but also to do some things with that space that will be able to benefit our community, such as the revitalization of the Observation Mountain trail and being able to have community functions.” The city and the church are currently working on a lease agreement. “Right now we are just meeting with them to start to put the lease together so we don’t know what the terms are going to be,” said Wayne Kopan, the city’s Manager of Environmental and Building Construction Services. Swope said the Baptist church would
like to see a 25-year agreement for a monthly rent of $750. “If we are going to put that kind of money into (renovating) it, we need to have a bit of a longer term commitment from the city,” he said. Some of the renovations that are needed include, structural support braces in the basement, drywall to replace panelling and a new heating system. Swope said in a perfect world, the Grand Forks Baptist Church would like to move into the old wildlife hall in a few months, but he added that the move might not happen until at least the end of summer. “That depends on if we can raise the finances to do the work,” said Swope.
z EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Administration of rural fire service could change hands The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) could be adding another level of service under its wing. The Grand Forks Rural Fire Protection District has been around since 1956 and this could be its last year, as the board has proposed to hand over its legal and administrative obligations to the RDKB. Prior to 2006, the rural fire district had its own volunteer department, with a paid fire chief and it operated separately from the City of Grand Forks’ fire department. In 2006, the rural fire service was contracted out to the city and volunteers from both fire departments were amalgamated into one. Now the board of trustees is feeling redundant because the day-to-day operations are being handled by the city’s fire

chief and most administration is dealt with by city staff, according to Murray Knox, chair of the Grand Forks Rural Fire Protection District board of trustees. “There is a message to change (the service) to the regional district, who already look after a variety of services in the rural area,” said Knox. Knox explained that the change would simply be administrative and it would eliminate one level of government. John MacLean, RDKB’s Chief Administrative Officer, said that the regional district would be ready to take over the contract, if the board of trustees so decided. “The only difference is that there would not be an elected board of directors for the rural fire district,” said MacLean. Deputy Fire Chief, Kevin McKinnon, believes that operations would stay the same. “We don’t anticipate any changes at all,” he said.

Guiding Principles History of Hospice Palliative Care of Hospice Hospice Palliative Care in Canada has been receiving more attention Palliative Care lately than ever before due to our country’s rapidly ageing population. However, the practise of hospice palliative care is nothing new. In fact, it dates all the way back to the Middle Ages. Pilgrims used to travel long distances to visit religious shrines throughout Europe with the hopes of being cured of their chronic or fatal illnesses. Religious orders established hospices along the way to provide care of the ill travellers. In many cases, travellers would die in the hospices before making it to the shrine. The word hospice comes from the Latin word hospitium, which means hospitality. Palliative comes from the Latin word palliare, meaning to cloak. In 1974, Canada started creating hospice palliative care units in hospitals. The first one was opened at Winnipeg’s St. Boniface General Hospital, followed closely with a unit opening at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. The Canadian Palliative Care Association was established in November 1991. In 2003, a new Employment Insurance benefit was introduced by the Canadian Government called the “compassionate Care Benefit.” This allowed Canadians to take time off work to care for a dying family member while being supported by the Federal Employment Insurance Program. There are currently 40 countries with hospices and palliative care services, many that exist in less-developed nations. Canada still has a long way to go in raising awareness about the need for hospice palliative care services, especially creating more hospice facilities so that people with chronic illnesses have somewhere to go other than hospitals. Hospice palliative care can provide the proper care to chronic patients in the comfort of their own homes or in a home-like setting.

SD51 looks to ERASE bullying

EVERYONE WELCOME! www.gftrails.ca
SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter
Bullying is a growing concern throughout schools across B.C. and School District 51 (SD51) has implemented an ERASE bullying reporting tool into schools across the Boundary. “The ERASE bullying icon is already live (on SD51’s website) for a student to get help if they are being bullied,” said SD51 Superintendent of Schools Michael Strukoff. “It goes directly to the Ministry of Education, people there review it and then forward on a request to our ERASE bullying contact, Jennifer Turner.” The district has seen two reports go through the ministry site since it went live in January.
“The incidents themselves were real and there was work to do to assist and help those students,” said Strukoff. In addition to the ERASE bullying reporting tool, the Boundary school district has also worked in collaboration with districts from the West Kootenays in completing a draft, Violence Threat Risk Assessment protocol, which will be to administrator and the school board in preparation for the fall, said Jennifer Turner, SD51’s district vice-principal of student services. Strukoff said the definition of bullying is changing. “Bullying in many minds is just a mean activity that kids get into but in reality there are conversations about it being a criminal offence,” he said. “It’s character assassination, it im-
pacts adolescent development and it can lead to depression and other mental health issues. The seriousness of those kinds of activities, when an individual is singled out for negative treatment, is becoming a bigger and bigger worry.” One of the biggest concerns is bullying through social media. “Social media bullying is something that’s really taking off,” Strukoff added. A five-year ERASE bullying strategy was presented to the board of directors yesterday for review and approval. The result of that was not known as of press time. Some of the key features of the strategy included new online tools, including a smartphone app for kids to report bullying anonymously and a safe school co-ordinator in every school district.

Downtown beautification is underway
SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter
City of Grand Forks work crews have begun beautifying the city. One of the most noticeable changes is right at the crosswalks and intersections down Market Avenue, where the crosswalks have been painted candy cane white and red. “We’ve heard a few remarks on the crosswalks that we painted that some people are really happy,” said Sasha Bird, the city’s manager of technical services and utilities. “They are eye catching and traffic calming, so that’s good. That’s what they are there for.” In terms of other upgrades, some of the changes might not be as noticeable at this stage. The tops of the street light heads have been painted, most of the hanging basket arms are up and the majority of the tree

lights are up said Bird. The furniture, which includes recycling containers, seating in front of Value Drug Mart, continuous tree-lined seating and the bike racks have been ordered but won’t arrive for a few more weeks. “Once the hanging baskets are up and we finish painting the street light poles and we get a few other things done, it’s going to make a huge difference and people will be able to see that stuff is happening,” said the city manager. Dawsha Hunt, manager of the Grand Forks Visitor Centre told the Gazette that it’s important for the city to spruce up to encourage tourism. “It’s important for the city to have a good face and a good front, that’s crucial in people coming back,” she said. “They will notice our neatness, floral displays and any improvements or maintenance, or a little paint to spruce things up is always a good thing.”

Locals concerned about logging
KARL YU
Gazette Editor
With tendering said to begin later in the month for a logging road in the Lynch Creek North area in Grand Forks, concerned residents are stepping up efforts to protect the area. The Friends and Residents of the North Fork, a grassroots group seeking to protect forests and ecosystems in the Granby Valley, held an information meeting to discuss the issue on May 2. According to the group, BC Timber Sales (BCTS) is planning to log nearly 64 hectares in Lynch Creek North and also another 28 hectares of intact forest across the Granby River. BCTS is also said to be set to develop and extend Old Gladstone Road into a logging road to access cut blocks. “We’re really concerned that if BC Timber Sales’ logging plans and road plans go ahead, that (the Lynch Creek North) area will be fragmented and there will no longer be any connectivity between (Gladstone Park) and the Granby River,” explained Friends and Residents of the North Forks spokesperson Margaret Steele. “We really want to be clear that we don’t want to see this positioned as an issue of environment vs. jobs. We have friends and neighbours who work in the forest industry. We’re just saying that industrial logging in this last intact forest is not the way to go,” she said. “There was an opportunity and hopefully there will be an opportunity to do it differently.”

She said the group is calling a moratorium on road development and logging at Lynch Creek North. Besides the logging of the area, the Friends of the North Fork are concerned about the welfare of the Kettle-Granby grizzly bear, which is said to be a threatened species – the logging road could lead to more contact with humans, which is said to be the top threat to the bears. According to information at the meeting, there are as few as 86 bears. North Fork resident and long-time Granby Wilderness Society member Roy Schiesser said there needs to be 5,000 bears in order to maintain a viable population for 1,000 years. “You require 500 grizzly bears to maintain a population over 100 years and you have to have a population minimum of 100 bears to even conceive of beginning or maintaining any kind of population and hopefully that population begins to recover to 100 bears, 500 bears and maybe, eventually 5,000 but the likelihood of trying to do that is staggering,” Schiesser said. “I would say our biggest challenge is conserving habitat; we’re losing it all the time and we’re losing it worldwide.” The Friends and Residents of the North Fork encourage interested parties to contact BCTS with concerns, sign the group’s petition or even join the group. The Friends and Residents of the North Fork can be contacted at frnf9@gmail.com. BC Timer Sales representatives were not able to respond by press time.

Sometime between May 7 and May 10, fuel was stolen from a van. “A suspect stole approximately 60 to 70 litres of gasoline by cutting a square hole in the fuel tank filler of a Ford e350 cube van that was parked on Second Street,” said Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. There were no witnesses and the RCMP currently does not have any suspects. Thief gets away with food and beer A house on 72nd Avenue was broken into early morning on Sunday and the thief got away with some food, beer and a Swiss army knifedesigned tool.
Grand Opening
The break-in was reported at 9:13 p.m. and the victim suspects that the thief might have been a relative, according to Harrison. “The air conditioning unit had been removed from the window to gain access (into the house),” he added. Police have reported no witnesses. Two-wheeler caught driving without licence A local 50-year-old male was pulled over on his motorcycle on Second Street at 10:20 p.m. on Sunday night – he was without a licence. “Upon checking for his driver’s licence, we found out that he didn’t have a driver’s licence and that he was prohibited from driving,” said Harrison. Because he wasn’t permitted to drive, his motorcycle was impounded for 30 days.

Push for more bike lanes SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter
According to a province-wide poll conducted by the NGR Research Group, 42 per cent of respondents said they would support $75 million in provincial funding for cycling infrastructure. Of the 463 British Columbians that completed the survey, 29 per cent were opposed to increased investments into bike paths and lanes. “People throughout B.C. want more ways to get around and they also enjoy cycling for recreation and sport as well,” said Richard Campbell, the president of the BC Cycling Coalition (BCCC). Designated cycling routes allow riders to do their shopping and get to work or school safely, he added. “The bike lanes are not only good for the people that live in Grand Forks, it’s also good for tourism as well,” said the president of the BCCC. “The routes that would help tourism also help people who live in communities get around in their daily lives, or a lot of them would be recreational trails that a lot of people in B.C. would use as well.” Safety for cyclists is on the city’s agenda. “Of course we want safety for cyclists and that’s one of the reasons why we put the multi-use pathways in so (cyclists) could take that route to the downtown,”
said Sasha Bird, the city’s manager of technical services and utilities. However in terms of having bike lanes downtown, the city is restricted by the size of roads. “Where you have parking, you have to have enough space to have your minimum three-and-a-half metre lanes, your minimum one-and-a-half metre bike lane and then you have to have your parking, that’s a pretty wide street and we don’t have that downtown,” said Bird. She did add that 68th Avenue could be a possibility for a bike lane because it’s a fairly wide corridor. “You want to get people out of their cars and on their bicycle, that is the whole point, get people exercising and staying fit; municipalities have to plan for that,” she said. Brian Fletcher, owner of Chain Reaction Ride & Slide said in order to get people out of their vehicles and riding bikes, they need to feel safe. “As the infrastructure goes in and people feel more safe about riding a bike they will participate and get on their bikes,” he said. “The reason they don’t participate is because they feel threatened by (large) vehicles.” According to the poll almost 70 per cent of adults in B.C. cycle at least once a year, 42 per cent cycle at least once a month and 25 per cent ride at least once a week.

Despite not having carving experience, Cheryl Ahrens created a sign for her vineyard thanks to the Boundary Woodworkers Guild.

Taking a rough piece of wood and carving something out of it that you could hang on a wall, or place on a coffee table might sound like a daunting process. Regardless of how difficult carving might seem to a novice woodworker, David Bevan, the Boundary Woodworkers Guild’s carving instructor, encourages people to just try it. “The number of people who have viewed my carvings have said, ‘I have always wanted to try that,’” said Bevan. He has been instructing keen participants how to create something unique and handmade from a blank piece of timber at the woodworker’s guild for three years now. Cheryl Ahrens was one of Bevan’s students and she created a hand-carved sign for her vineyard and Ahrens had no carving experience at all before she took a class at the guild. “Carving has always been on my bucket list, it was just something I had wanted to learn,” she said.
Now she is hooked and she encourages anyone with the slightest interest to just give it a try. “It’s a very supportive atmosphere in the carving club, so you can really just learn at your own pace and express your creativity too,” she said. Bevan said seeing what his students can achieve is very satisfying. “Some of the work produced is quite exceptional, the enthusiasm that people have shown and the atmosphere in which the course is run, people are very encouraging to each other,” he said. “One of the 70-year-old ladies, produced for her very first carving, an incredible leaf with dragonfly attachments on it. It was outstanding for someone’s first carving.” Bevan offers his students over 100 carving tools, projects from beginner to advanced, instruction and encouragement. “It’s incredibly gratifying to see people come from a zero level to an outstanding level in a couple of terms,” he said.

Three Girl Guide of Canada Pathfinders from Midway and two from Grand Forks have a unique opportunity in July 2014 to travel with three Pathfinders from Vancouver, to a World Association of Girl Guides and Girls Scouts World Centre in central Mexico. Midway Guiders Elaine Fromme and Sue Fielding will be accompanying them. For 10 days, the Pathfinders will be living with girls who are members of guiding from around the world, and working with them as a team on service projects for the local Mexican people. An element of this team-building will also include camping within the grounds of Our Cabana. New global friendships will be a part of this exclusive experience, where they will be able to discover and share in customs and traditions of every day life in different societies across borders and

oceans. The Pathfinders will learn first-hand what binds girls in guiding throughout the world and give them an understanding of how they may live in different environments but still have many day-to -day challenges, which are similar. The itinerary will take the girls on visits to experience the background of Mexican culture, traditions and history. Each girl has to raise $2,500 by May 2014 to cover the cost of travel and accommodation – this is a huge task.

The girls will be selling hand-made crafts in Midway on May 11 and at Rock Creek Fall Fair. The Spot in Midway has kindly offered space for car washes throughout the summer and will also have bundles of firewood on sale, which are tied by the girls. A community bottle drive and silent auction are also planned for later in the year. Extra cookies will be on sale in the fall. The girls can do yard/lawn work, dog walking, babysitting, window cleaning or leaf/snow clearance. To take advantage of these services, please call Fromme at 250-449-2309 or Fielding at 250-445-9955 for Midway and Greenwood and Erin Stavenjord at 250-4425926 in Grand Forks for availability. This is a trip of a lifetime and we hope everyone will support the girls in their efforts to raise the money, so they are able to travel to Mexico and enjoy this experience. Girl Guides Canada Kootenay Area will be presenting 14 Pathfinders with the Canada Cord on June 1. This is the top award for girls in guiding at this age level. Two of the girls are from Midway and one from Grand Forks.

A drunk guy in Alaska decides to go ice fishing. He starts sawing a hole in the ice, when a loud booming voice says, “You will find no fish there.” The drunk looks up, ignores it, and continues on. The voice booms again, “You will find no fish under the ice.” The drunk looks up and says, “God, is that you?” The voice says, “No, I’m the manager of this ice rink.”
Lewis Carswell and Gloria Bandle enjoy breakfast on Mother’s Day at the Slavonic Hall in Grand Forks.

Gazette Editor
Liz Mason has been a lifeguard at the aquatic centre in Grand Forks 25 years and while her time is winding down, she’s enjoyed every minute of it. Mason is set to retire on June 21 but she will still work until then. “I used to be in aquatics when I was a lot younger and I used to bring my daughter here and actually, Cora Ludwar, who is still here, was the one who said, ‘Why don’t you see if you can get your medallion and cross (lifeguard certification) and you can work here,’ and I did,” Mason reminisces. Mason is a Lifeguard 3 and does WaterFit classes and circuit weight-training classes on top of lifeguarding – she also teaches Red Cross swim lessons and Bronze medallion and Bronze cross courses as well. “We encourage people to stay fit and rehab as well,” Mason says. “A lot of people come here after surgeries, new knees or hips, so we have programs and give them a reason to come in here and stay fit.” A lot changes in 25 years and Mason said that when she started out, the lifeguards were Jackof-All-Trades. “When I first started here, we actually did everything. There wasn’t a cashier, there was no maintenance person, so we did everything. We’d guard, we’d come off the deck and bring people through and do the cash-out at the end of

the night. We’d do water tests to make sure the chemicals were balanced and clean at the end of the night,” she says. While she is a lifeguard, Mason says she hasn’t had to resuscitate anyone thankfully. “I’ve been fortunate that I haven’t had to use my skills that way but we prevent as many things as we can. We find out about every patron, when they come into the pool,” Mason explains. “When I first started, I was on nights and weekends and so we would have 100 to a 150 people and so you wouldn’t necessarily know who was with who and so that was more challenging in a way.” Mason says its interesting now because aquatic centre staff know every patron that comes in – they know that their issues are and their needs and thus, it’s more personalized. In fact, the social aspect is something Mason says she enjoys the most. “I think I like to get to know the people and I’m enjoying the fitness classes,” she explains. “It’s a different classroom. We have circuit weight-training classes and people come a long way in their abilities. They start by being quite fearful and unsure and within a month, or less, they know how it works.” She says it’s been a wonderful career choice and she says she’s worked with some great people. She plans to keep busy even after she’s retired. “I have (two hectares) and rental property and puppies,” Mason concludes.

Boundary Family Centres, which are located in the district’s elementary schools, were developed as a collaborative effort between BFISS and the school district. “The Boundary Family Centres were born (2001) out of the work of a group of caring and committed community partners who dreamed of integrated family centres where children, youth and their caregivers could conveniently access a range of individual and family health and wellness services. Since 2003 the centres have been enriching the lives of families in the Boundary region.” “I am very pleased that the BC Superintendents’ Association recognized the important work that BFISS does across the Boundary and that it is an important partner of the school district in supporting children and families in the region,” said Superintendent of Schools Michael Strukoff. “This partnership makes a significant contribution to the success of our students like a 94 per cent graduation rate and a 93 per cent graduation rate for Aboriginal students,” he said.

Two and three-year-old kids may not completely understand the game of soccer, but they love kicking the ball around with their parents. The Boundary Youth Soccer Association developed Kicks for Kids to introduce kids under the age of five to soccer. “Kicks for Kids revolves around two basic components. The first one is physical literacy, so that is getting the little ones used to biomechanics: walking, running, kicking, all transferable skill sets that they can use in soccer, can use in hockey, that they can use across their lifespan,” said Kicks for Kids’ organizer and coach, Darren Pratt. “The second component is it’s an introduction to soccer.” Boundary Youth Soccer Association president Jeff Olson, said it’s best to get kids involved in sport before they are nine or 10 and don’t have any sort of physical literacy. “It’s about getting kids actively engaged in playing together and everything that it entails,” he said. “We use soccer as the medium, but it’s not the expressed goal to get them to be soccer players. The expressed goal is to get them active.”
Besides being active, it’s a chance for young kids to socialize with their peers and other parents in the community. “It’s connectivity to broader community, it’s showing that these kids have a place in the broader community through sport,” said Pratt. While the kids don’t play an actual soccer match at this level, there is still some structure to Kicks for Kids. “This is just strictly having fun, but we do have specific drills and exercises that we do (with the kids). The program is free for kids between the ages of two to four, but they still need to be registered through the Boundary Youth Soccer Association and parents have to be participants. “Parents or caregivers have to participate,” said the soccer coach. “Parents/caregivers will be a child’s first teammate.” The Boundary Youth Soccer Association was based off a European football club model, where kids start at a young age and grow with the sport. “We want to make sure that kids feel welcome right from the get-go,” said Olson. Kicks for Kids runs on Tuesday nights at 4:30 p.m. and Wednesday mornings at 11 a.m. For more information go to www.boundaryyouthsoccer.com.

Playing for the woman’s national softball team has always been Geena Hanlon’s dream, ever since she started playing at the age of seven. The 20-year-old Christina Lake softball player has a chance to live up to her dream on May 23, in Cloverdale B.C., when she tries out for Canada’s softball team. “I’m excited to have the opportunity but definitely nervous because I’m trying out with girls from Saskatchewan to B.C. As far as I know there is going to be 100, or more girls there,” she said. Hanlon took the opportunity upon herself to try and get noticed by the national team when she emailed the head manager of the team. “I come from a small town. We can’t really get scouted easily just playing here; you have to go to provincials or a big tournament,” she said. The manager responded favourably and said he was interested to see her play after he tracked down her game statistics from old provincial games. When Hanlon was growing up, she played on teams at the Lake and when she was finally old enough, she joined one of the woman’s local teams. She also plays in a local beer league, on her uncle’s team just for fun. So when the Gazette asked her if she had a disadvantage coming from a small town and competing against girls from across the country for a spot on the national team she said, “No.” “There will be better girls than me on the field and at bat, but I just have to be better at what I am good at,” she said. “I’m definitely talented enough and I have heart more than anything and I’m not scared to sacrifice the body, dive for the ball.” She said her family is really excited at the potential of having a relative on the woman’s national softball team. “My mom is really excited because she played softball too,” said the 20-year-old. “My grandpa was going to come with me, but he would just make me more nervous because he has been my coach through everything, he coached me in hockey, coached me in softball.” Hanlon knows she is going to have to try her hardest, but she is definitely looking forward to
it.“This is a big opportunity for me and even if I don’t make the team, there is going to be a bunch of school scouts there and I could wind up with a scholarship out of it.”

Safe Boating Week from May 18 to 24 Safe Boating Week will take place across Canada from May 18 to 24. The purpose of this initiative, managed by LILLY the CSBC (Canadian Safe BRYANT Boating Council) and its partners, is to promote safe and responsible boating practices to the estimated 16 million recreational boaters in Canada. Although boating related fatalities have trended downwards in past years, there continues to be an average of 125 boating related deaths annually in Canadian waters. With people gearing-up to launch their boats after a long winter slumber, the goal of the week is to continue to bring those numbers down by ensuring that Canadians who head out in any type of boat to have the appropriate knowledge to help them have a safe day on the water. The timing of the week, starting on the May long weekend, is perfectly aligned with the unofficial start of summer and a time when many boating fatalities occur. There are five key boating safety messages to be delivered, all directed towards the most common boating related accidents. They include: • The importance of wearing a life-jacket
❚ GFREC Report
• • •
The dangers associated with drinking and boating The importance of taking a safe boating course Ensuring that you and your vessel are prepared before casting off • The risks associated with a fall into cold water If you are not licensed and get caught operating a motorize boat, you will be fined. Instructor Mike Fairweather from Power Sail and Squadron will be offering a Boat Pro Course on June 8 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Christina Lake Community Hall. The fee for the course is $55 and additional family members pay $35. Deadline to register is June 1. If you would like more information about safe boating you can go to www.SmartBoater.ca. *** Open Water Wisdom has provided us with life-jackets to lend out to the community to use free of charge. If you find yourself short on a life-jacket and are planning to spend time on or near the water, you can make arrangements to borrow the life-jacket for up to a week. Jackets must be picked up prior to Friday afternoon. For more information about the campaign, visit www.openwaterwisdom.ca. The Grand Forks Aquatic Centre will be closed for Victoria Day (May 20). For more details on Safe Boating Week, please give us a call at the recreation office at 250-442-2202.

surrounded by loving family and dear friends. Jill, the second eldest of Jack London’s five great granddaughters, lived in Los Angeles, Berkeley, and Petaluma, California and Index, Washington before immigrating with her children to Grand Forks, British Columbia, Canada in 1978. In 1979 she moved to the Boundary Creek/Greenwood area and began farming and horse logging. During this time, Jill became an accountant, a counselor and an accomplished horsewoman. She moved back to Grand Forks in 2001. Jill loved the ocean, dancing, music, anthropology, and read voraciously. During the 1960s Jill built a strong spiritual foundation through intensive study. These years of study gave her a huge love of children and animals and her close connection to the natural world gave her strength and peace. Her awareness of social justice issues and her love and wisdom touched the lives of many people. Her children invite her friends and neighbors to gather in celebration of Jill’s life on May 18 from 12 noon to 3:00 p.m., 54 - 85th Ave. (Riverside Dr.), Grand Forks. Bring food to share. In lieu of flowers, donations towards Jill’s last alternative medical therapy would be gratefully accepted. Jill is survived by her children Deborah Spitler, Adam Spitler, Sequoyah Combash, Justin Gould, son and daughters in-law James Heidt, Tracy Anutooshkin, Amber Hay; grand children Josh and Laela Heidt, Max Gilchuck, Brody Anutooshkin, Forest Spitler, Nicholas Lorimer, Kelhan and Piper Gould; and sisters Julie Jaman of Washington, Darcy Abbott, Chaney Delaire and Tarnel Abbott of California, and Margarita MacClarty of Montana.
Peter J. Veregin (Scotty) was born Oct. 15, 1922 in Kamsack, Saskatchewan to John and Anna Veregin. He was the eldest of four children – the only boy with three younger sisters, Kathleen, Polly and Ann. In 1935, Peter moved to Grand Forks, B.C. with his family. They lived in various places in Grand Forks before purchasing property on Cameron Road across from the airport where they built their family home. Peter remembered as a young child traveling by horse and wagon to Phoenix with his Uncle Wasili for the day to remove lumber from old deserted buildings. The lumber was then used to build a barn on the Strukoff homestead. Peter started working early in life and in 1936 he tended cows. He later worked at Atwood Farms picking vegetables and then went north to Christina Lake to fall logs for Sandners. In 1940, he traveled with his father to pick fruit in Kelowna in the area that is now Orchard Park Mall. But more interestingly for the youth of the day, Peter learned to play the violin and entertained many at social functions and barn dances. In 1941, he met Fred Pepin while working at a logging camp up at the Paulson summit area. Unbeknownst to him at the time Fred would become his father-in-law. In 1942, he met the love of his life, Mabel Pepin and they were married on December 23, 1944. Shortly after they moved to Naramata, where he worked as the Dairyman delivering milk to many households. In January 1946, their first child, Janet, was born. They moved back to Grand Forks in 1948, where he was employed at Norris Box & Lumber which later became Pope & Talbot. He earned his lumber grading ticket, worked as a gang saw operator and later became a millwright. He worked there for 40 years until his retirement in 1987. Their second child Naida was born in 1948, followed by Peter in 1951 and Larry in 1954. In 1950 Peter bought land from John Elasoff and built his first home on Kenmore Road. During the late ’50s he began to build his current home and they moved in December 1959. Peter was very civic minded and volunteered many hours of his time to Grand Forks. He served a four year term as director of Sunshine Valley Coop. He was a director of the Grand Forks Credit Union during the 1960s. He then served for 15 years on the Grand Forks School Board – five of which were as Chairman and 10 of those years as representative to the Selkirk College Board. He received an Honorary membership from Selkirk upon his retirement. In the 1960s, Peter instructed evening lumber grading classes in Grand Forks. Later, Peter along with Fred Chernoff assembled and maintained the original equipment at the Grand Forks Heritage Flour Mill. He operated the Grand Forks Flour Mill for a number of years which included receiving the grain, grinding it and packaging and shipping the flour. Peter served as director of Hardy View Lodge for three years and felt it was important to have a comfortable environment for the seniors of Grand Forks. More recently, he was an active member of the Slavonic’s lodge and enjoyed the social gatherings. Peter was a lifetime member of the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ and felt very strongly about his Doukhobor faith. He served several terms as trustee for the Chistiakovoyie Otdel (local) of the USCC. Peter and Mabel were members of the first choir that traveled to the Soviet Union in 1966 to visit and perform at many small Doukhobor villages and historical sites. They continued to participate in their Doukhobor culture as members of the Friendship Choir. Peter worked the construction of the Brilliant Cultural Center and played an active roll in the reconstruction of the Grand Forks Community Center in 1977-78. And he supported the value of peace by participating with family in many peace walks in Vancouver and Osoyoos. Peter was a gentle, kind and hard working man, a devoted husband and a warm and caring father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was an avid and passionate reader who loved to stay current with environmental and world issues. His other passion was working with wood. He helped build homes for his children as well as furniture for his children and grandchildren. We will all cherish his handiwork for years to come. Peter loved to spend time with his family and looked forward to the many family birthdays and celebrations throughout the years. Last year’s highlight was celebrating his 90th birthday surrounded by his sisters, his children, his grand- and great-grandchildren as well as many nieces, nephews and extended family members. In his 90th year, Peter passed away peacefully on Friday evening, May 3 at Ivy House of the Silver Kettle Village. Peter was predeceased by his sister, Kathleen in 1943, his father, John in 1979, his mother, Anna in 1989, his wife, Mabel in 1994, his son-in-law, Tim Rezansoff in 2003, and son-in-law, Alec Cheveldave in 2010. He is survived by his daughters, Janet Cheveldave & Naida Rezansoff both of Castlegar, his son, Peter Veregin of Grand Forks and his son, Larry Veregin and his wife Maureen of Nelson; 9 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren - Liana & her husband, Jim Zwick and daughter, Jessica of Castlegar, Michael and his wife, Venie Cheveldave and their children, Annika & Evan of Castlegar , Larissa Fortin & her son, Lucas of Castlegar, Stacia Rezansoff of Castlegar, Sasha Veregin of Vancouver, Lanny Veregin and wife Carole of Najing, China, Tyler Ripley of Proctor, Nicole Ripley of Nelson, and Melissa Veregin of Prince George. He is also survived by his two sisters, Polly Dergousoff of Grand Forks and Ann and her husband, Moe Zibin of Castlegar, and companion Molly Pankoff of Grand Forks as well as many nieces and nephews. Peter will be sadly missed by all and may God accept his soul into his heavenly kingdom. May he rest in peace. Our family is deeply appreciative of all those who expressed their sympathies and everyone who attended today’s service. We are also grateful to JJ Verigin for his thoughtful and kind words, and to Jerry Seminoff for translating and reading the biography in Russian and for his help and guidance with the service. We would also like to thank the psalm singers and the Friendship Choir for their harmonious singing and to the ladies who prepared and served such a delicious meal. We thank all the men who prepared Dad’s final resting place and especially to Everett Baker and his staff at the Grand Forks Funeral Home for their professional service and guidance. Thanks to Fay Malins for her assistance and advice that made all our arrangements so smooth and easy. We would also like to thank Silver Kettle and Ivy House staff, Boundary Hospital staff and Dr. Merry for all their service and care for our father, Peter. Our dad truly enjoyed all our family gatherings and today the family and the Doukhobor community, that he cared so deeply for, have come together to remember his life and to help say farewell as his soul returns home. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
