CannaFest bringing top rock talent to town CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

CannaFest 2015, a two-day festival featuring music from the likes of Prism, the Headpins and Foreigner frontman Lou Gramm is coming to Grand Forks. At the regular council meeting on Feb. 23, council voted to support the event after the promoter addressed some of the original concerns from council. “I think it should be noted that originally when Mr. Varabioff presented to us with a request for CannaFest 2015 music festival, it was advertised as an educational event to promote and educate on medical marijuana and have a dispenser on site where they would be selling it,” said Coun. Chris Hammett. “They have since been refused an application and have come back and said there would be no sales of medical marijuana at the event at all. He has also said there will be no liquor at the event on the grounds.” The letter to council from promoter Chuck Varabioff of the BC Pain Society stated that no marijuana would be sold at the festival. He would not change the name of the festival. “I can live with no marijuana sales, but to change the name would be extremely difﬁcult as we are trying to brand ‘CannaFest’ into a household name,” he wrote. Varabioff also stated that ticket sales would be capped at 3,000 and that there would be one security guard for every 10 attendees. “Because he has conformed to council’s request that nothing illegal will take place and that it will just be a musical and educational event—I make a motion we accept his request and allow him to proceed,” said Hammett. The motion was approved unanimously by council. CAO Doug Allin said that the festival would still need to satisfy all the requests which the city makes of ﬁeld users for special events. Tickets for the event are already available on the bcpainsociety.com website for $50 for a single day pass and $75 for a two-day pass. Kids 6-12 are $25 for both days; kids under 6 are free. Tickets are also available locally at The Source and Kocomo’s Coffee House as of this Saturday, March 8. The show will be held at James Donaldson Park on Aug. 7 and 8 and features Prism, Streetheart, Headpins, Lou Gramm from Foreigner, Jerry Doucette, Lee Aaron and Franklins Dealers.

recalled Dick. Once the group located the deer again, 14-year-old Aezia Orr managed to lasso the panicked ungulate and the group was ﬁnally able to take the seed bag off her head. “He took a real honest-togoodness lasso—they own a ranch up by the Boundary Museum—and he lassoed her,” said Dick. “Now, of course, she wasn’t happy with it.” Freed from the bag, the group had to then remove the lasso, which was another challenge considering how rattled the animal was, said Dick. Once that was done “she took off like a shot; I imagine heading for the river for a drink of water,” said Dick. “What really amazes me is how we were able to rally everyone together over a cause. That’s what I love about this town. We’re not apathetic.” The story was picked up by national outlets CBC and the Hufﬁngton Post. Dick herself was interviewed by CBC.

Project promotes Lake trails CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A 10-month project to map out the major trails at Christina Lake culminated with a presentation at the Christina Lake Welcome Centre Thursday. Close to 70 people came out to see the presentation, at which those responsible for the project talked about the final results. “We presented the results of a 10-month project to digitize and promote the trails at Christina Lake,” said Cavan Gates, manager of special projects for the Christina Gateway Community Development Association (CDA). “What we did was have a crew go out and collect GPS data, images and videos, and then they wrote down their experiences about the trail. We converted that into a website, blogs on the website, videos on the website, as well as hard copy maps and signs

for the trails. So not only do you know the trails exist but you can figure out what you’re going to experience on the trail and how to get there.” The results are expected to be posted online at www.cltrails.info and will be available towards the end of this month. The info will also be able to be accessed from www.christinalake.ca. Presenting along with Gates were Cherisa Patton, Pierce LeClair, Kim Kinakin and Melissa Shim. Gates said the project was an important one to not only inform people of what is available for trails at Christina Lake but also how to access them. “We have fabulous trails here and visitors don’t know enough about them,” he said. “We want to really make it in your face: these are our trails, they’re awesome and this is how you can experience them!”

City will prepare report on water meter options CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

In what could be seen as an attempt to please the anti-water meter crowd, Coun. Michael Wirischagin brought forward a motion to direct staff to prepare a report with different options to try to satisfy those residents opposed to water meters. The options could include different billing methods, subsidizing pit meter installs, and offering non-prohibitive flat rates. Wirischagin brought up the motion at the city council meeting on Feb. 23. “Moving from last meeting to this and now that council has voted on moving forward with the water meter project, I think it’s pertinent to move on the right path with trying to fix the divide between the residents of this

community and try to brings things together even further,” said Wirischagin when introducing his motion. Wirischagin added that he would like to see city staff collect data from residents and use that to formulate the report and make recommendations to council. Coun. Hammett asked Wirischagin if that motion would mean residents who had water meters installed but didn’t want them could get them uninstalled. “I don’t really see that as being an option,” he said. “But I will leave that up to staff to look at those solutions or options. I would like to see us move forward.” CAO Doug Allin said that staff will put the report forward to council who can then debate the various options and decide on what they would like to do with the information.

COUNCIL BRIEFS By Craig Lindsay

Procedure bylaw The bylaw (2011) to amend procedure bylaw 1946 has been referred back to staff after a vote by council during the regular council meeting on Feb. 23. Coun. Michael Wirischagin made the suggestion stating that the bylaw was “too vague” and not tight enough. The amendment would make it mandatory for councillors to submit written reports after attending any conference over one day in length. Wirischagin also questioned how the rules would be enforced.

The amendment bylaw 2011 was proposed by Coun. Christine Thompson, the only councillor to vote against referring the issue to staff. Electrical utility

Grand Forks residents will have to dig a little deeper next year for their electric bill. Council gave final reading to the electrical utility regulatory amendment bylaw 2009 at the regular city council meeting on Feb. 23. The amendment will see annual increases of 2.5 per cent, or 3.125 per cent increase for consumption billed beginning March 1. The rate increase was recommended by Alex Love, the city’s electrical utility consultant, as it will enable the electrical utility to meet its revenue requirements.

Lease extension delayed CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The decision to extend the lease for the Multi-Agency Accommodation Project (MAAP) building and has been put off as Grand Forks City Council agreed to refer the issue to staff. Staff is expected to gather more information before making another suggestion for council. Coun. Chris Hammett brought up the motion to refer to staff at the regular meeting on Feb. 23. “I understand the need for the services that are provided and they’re greatly appreciated,” she said during discussion. “I don’t have a problem with the original lease as it was signed. My concern is that there is a clause that says if that land is sold, the city will give two weeks notice to the tenants before taking it back. I have a concern that if a new building (Habitat’s ReStore) is created and placed on that adjoining property, that’s a game changer.” Currently, Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore building is located on Sagamore Road, but the organization would eventually like to build on the MAAP property. MAAP has received a conditional offer of $100,000 for the continued development of planned improvements from BC Housing.

“

In a presentation to council on Feb. 4, Jim Harrison, vice-chair for the Boundary Emergency and Transitional Housing Society (BETHS), stated that the lease extension, from the original period of five years to 10 years, was a stipulation from BC Housing. “I think everyone should look at what the city is going to look at in five, 10, 15 years time,” said Hammett. “What do we want to see on that waterfront? It’s the only developable land that we have that’s commercial, residential.” Hammett said it would be difficult for council in the future to re-

Coun. Christine Thompson agreed with Hammett, stating that once a building was constructed council would be hard pressed to demolish or remove it at that point. “I’d like to work with the organization to find a better location for their ReStore centre,” she said.

iNSIGHT your news view

CannaFest looking like party of the year After some haggling, CannaFest music festival is finally confirmed for Grand Forks. Our little town has plenty to offer, but when it comes to music concerts and festivals, people generally have to travel to Kelowna, Vancouver or Spokane to see big acts. CannaFest will feature popular ’80s rockers such as Headpins, Prism, Streetheart and Lou Gramm of Foreigner. Foreigner had some huge hits in the late ’80s and early ’90s such as Juke Box Hero, I Want to Know What Love Is and Urgent. In all, Foreigner sold more than 80 million records world-wide. Meanwhile, Prism had Spaceship Superstar, Streetheart hit it big with Here Comes the Night, and Headpins were well known for Don’t it Make You Feel. Bringing all these acts and more together for a two-day festival in Grand Forks is quite an accomplishment. Of course, the raison d’etre of the festival is to “bring awareness to the healing properties of medical marijuana”; however, one of the stipulations of being able to have the concert at James Donaldson Park in Grand Forks is that they are NOT allowed to sell any cannabis. It’s hard not to forget the difficulties last summer of Boonstock in Penticton. Although much bigger in scope, Boonstock ended up struggling financially as major sponsors pulled out after they were unable to secure a liquor licence. There was also difficulty with adequate security and policing. A Boonstock attendee sadly died of a drug overdose and dozens were treated in hospital for suspected drug overdoses. These types of concerns weren’t lost on Grand Forks City Council. It was careful in its considerations of the request for a festival from CannaFest creator Chuck Varabioff; however, Varabioff has assured council and city staff that there will be sufficient security on hand as well as emergency personnel to provide a safe atmosphere. There will be one security guard for every 10 attendees, Varabioff promises, and he will need to keep that promise. It definitely looks like CannaFest will be the party of the year. And it will certainly bring in concert-goers from out of town, which will bring in money from out of town.

Balmy weather has residents thinking spring On The Ball CRAIG LINDSAY Aside from the odd cold snap, it looks like spring is upon us early this year. Environment Canada meteorologist Lisa Coldwells confirms that the southern interior region can expect mostly warmer, dry weather for the next couple of weeks. She said the mild winter has been caused by warm water off the Pacific coast. “Off the coast of British Columbia there has been an abnormally warm pool of water

and it has sat there all winter,” said Coldwells. “Since that water and the atmosphere are always interacting, it has caused a broad scale upper ridge to sit over most of B.C. for a good portion of the winter. There has been little blips come through with some snow or some colder arctic air come through from Alberta but generally over the whole winter there has been this big upper ridge.” Coldwells said that moving into March, nothing will change very much. “The warm pool of water is off the coast; the broad scale upper ridge is still there,” she said. “For most of the province you’re going to see an extension of the milder tempera-

tures that we’ve seen.” The normal daily temperature for Grand Forks for March is 10 C. Coldwells said that temperatures will be a few degrees warmer this year for the month. “That doesn’t mean that that upper ridge can’t shift a bit towards the west and allow a brief period of arctic air in,” she warned. “So I wouldn’t say that winter is over. If you look into Alberta there is a lot of cold air just lurking on the other side of the Rocky (Mountains). All it takes is one little shift of the upper ridge and here it comes.” Coldwells said that we can expect more warm, mild temperatures for the next week but until that ridge moves out

of harm’s way, winter isn’t quite over and we could still see snow and/or cold temperatures. “It could easily still happen,” she said. “Until we see that cold arctic air move well away from the region than we could say it looks like the end of winter. But until then we’ll enjoy every above normal week we get.” So while we won’t be needing the sun screen and the beach towels quite yet, it does seem reasonable to put away the snow shovels and winter jackets.

Opinion

to the editor

Time to cut administration Editor, The Gazette: Re: School board facing money crunch “What is happening is that government is requesting boards to cut administration spending.” It is about time for these adminspending cuts because over the years they have grown in size in all districts. The money belongs in our classrooms. I have watched this board administration costs from 12 years ago climb from over $300,000 when enrollment was high and we went to a four-day week to now over $800,000 with student enrollment at 1,285. In our school district financial statements for 2013-14 personnel expenses above employee wages including trustees and administrators was $217,008.84. The mileage rate is 54¢ a kilometre, maybe more under the new contract which also ties into trustees raises as well. Now if you have an ICBC claim and sustained injuries that require you to

travel to different medical appointments you get 25¢ a kilometre, which has been the going rate over last 15 years. And ICBC is the most lucrative insurance company in North America. Do we need to belong to British Columbia Trustees’ Association that has morphed into a politically motivated organization? How does the BCSTA enhance learning outcomes? It is not a compulsory membership and a few districts such as Kootenay 8 have withdrawn from BCSTA. Its funding comes from student enrollment in each school district, fees calculated on $8,000 per student funding. Can we afford it—plus is there any payback? I believe the money would be better spent on reopening our GFSS cafeteria for our kids rather than put into some political black hole. Val Rich, Grand Forks

Story too beautiful to keep to myself

Editor, The Gazette: On Valentine’s Day, I witnessed a touching display of non-commercialized love. Halfway through a busy shift with hardly any breaks between customers, a middle-aged couple approached my till. They waited patiently in the line and when their few simple grocery items had been scanned (there were no chocolates, flowers or cards) they paused before paying. The woman quietly told me that she and her husband would like to pay for the groceries of the very elderly woman behind them. Thinking that the couple and senior were together, I began scanning the elderly woman’s cart load of groceries. While the items were being scanned the couple lingered over bagging their personal groceries. As the elderly woman turned to speak with another customer, the middle-aged woman discreetly paid the bill. As the senior turned back to her, she said, “Happy Valentine’s.” It seemed nothing more than a simple greeting. The elderly woman warmly returned the greeting and turned back to pay as the couple gathered their purchases and left. I was confused as I had thought the three were together but understanding dawned. The elderly lady held out her debit card to pay for the groceries that sat in bags on the belt. Feeling humbled, I told the senior that her bill had already been paid. Tears formed in the woman›s eyes as realization sank in. The real beauty in this story is that the couple was not seeking praise or a reaction; they were blessing a stranger that had no way to pay them back. Isn’t this what real love is about?

C-51: a loss of freedoms

There has been a great deal in the news over the past few weeks about C-51, the government’s new Anti-Terrorism Act. It is another one in a series of omnibus bills and contains 62 pages covering everything from expanding the mandate of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to allowing police to seize terrorist propaganda while making it easier to share information between government departments. On the surface, it appears fairly clear: we are faced with a terrorist threat. C-51 will make our country a safer place. The reality, however, is not that simplisFrom the hill tic. I have been monitoring what the mainstream media have been saying about this piece of legislation and Alex atamanenko have learned that there is a lot of concern about the threat to our rights and freedoms. As Campbell Clark stated in his Globe and Mail Op-ed: “Two things are clear: First the Conservatives think this bill will help them win an election, and second, they don’t want people to understand it. That’s a bad combination for a bill that will change things in secret, in ways we won’t know for years.” In spite of the fact that the two tragic deaths of Canadian service men were not directly related to a “terrorist plot” against Canada, the government has justified C-51 using the threat of a Jihadist invasion. If we recall, the individuals who murdered our two soldiers were mentally deranged fanatics with no connection to any international terrorist organization. Canadians have a right to worry about their safety. It is a duty of a government to address this concern in a responsible manner, and not to play on the “fear factor.” As NDP leader Tom Mulcair stated, “The prime minister is telling Canadians they need to choose between their security and their rights–that safety and freedom are mutually exclusive. Instead of putting forward concrete measures to make Canadians safer and protect freedoms Conservatives have put politics over principle and introduced a bill that is dangerously vague and likely ineffective.” In the 1960s and 1970s, the RCMP had been engaged in illegal disruptive activities. The McDonald Commission was created and CSIS was established to collect and analyze information and produce intelligence about potential national security threats to Canada. Now, with C-51, CSIS will be allowed to engage in this type of activity and do legally what the RCMP had been doing illegally. This should be of great concern to all Canadians Those of us that recall the War Measures Act of 1970, remember the sweeping powers it gave the police. Hundreds of innocent people were arrested, interrogated and detained as a result. This must not happen ever again. History, as we know, is full of examples of irresponsible leaders rallying their citizens by exaggerating threats to their security. As a former CSIS officer, Francois Lavigne states, “Some of these tactics are taken right out of the fascist playbook. Create an enemy that is hard to identify. Make it an enemy that is nebulous and seems to be able to do things that nobody else can. Don’t define the enemy. Just identify. Generate fear around that enemy. Then, send out the message that the only people who can deal with this enemy are us.” The Conservatives have defined the “enemy” and are ramming legislation through that is supposedly going to protect us. They have limited debate at Second Reading and are only allowing 3 meetings at Committee to hear witnesses. To put this in context, after Sept 11, 2001, the Liberal government held 10 Committee sessions and heard from 80 witnesses before passing major anti-terrorism legislation. (I find it hard to understand why the Liberals have given unconditional support to C-51). I must say that I am proud of my party’s principled stand opposing this bill. We believe that C-51: a) Threatens our way of life by asking Canadians to choose between their security and their freedoms; b) Was not developed in consultation with other parties, all of whom recognize the real threat of terrorism and support effective, concrete measures to keep Canadians safe; c) Irresponsibly provides CSIS with a sweeping new mandate without equally increasing oversight; d) Contains definitions that are broad, vague and threaten to lump legitimate dissent together with terrorism; and e) Does not include the type of concrete, effective measures that have been proven to work, such as working with communities on measures to counter radicalization of youth. It is my opinion that this ideologically driven piece of legislation is a very real threat to our rights and freedoms.

Be the envy of your neighbourhood

to the editor

All Raeside cartoons are stupid Editor, The Gazette: Two thumbs up for Ben Sorelensen for his letter to the editor of Feb. 25, “Appalled at vaccine cartoon.” He is right on all counts: the toxic chemical vaccines, the hype that they are promoted as necessary and the ridiculous cartoon. All of the Raeside cartoons are stupid, inane and ugly. They always have an edge to them that I find unfunny. How much does the Gazette pay for them?

Perhaps Grand Forks could give a young or an older person a chance to show some local talent with better art, and less irritating comments. Two thumbs down to the thieves who steal from Whispers of Hope, an organization that strives to put a hand up to those who need it. It gives new meaning to the old saying about “biting the hand that feeds you.” Joan Enquist, Grand Forks

Water rates hit the poorest first Editor, The Gazette: Just how water meters are going to pump success into the city is a mystery for my narrow mind. Water flows downhill except when it flows uphill to where the money is? Berating some of the acting council the way it was expressed was a great flexing of literary muscle but I am not sure it was fair. They have worked hard and are honest. We all try our best to our best knowledge.

Some have swimming pools, some water at night, some pee in the river, some let the cows do the job, some fly south in the winter, some burn wood all winter, some drive from store to store, some walk everywhere. There is not a single one of us that does not leave some kind of a mess. Water is a human right and water rates always hit the poorest first. Angelica Herlihy, Grand Forks

C-51 about sweeping new powers Editor, The Gazette: Bill C-51 is about sweeping new police powers. Responsible, independent and open oversight is required in any legislative, regulatory and practical exercise of new government power. C-51 does not have that. In 1970 I wrote for The Ubyssey newspaper. RCMP-SIS asked me for information on political dissidents in exchange for money. I knew the SIS member personally. In the 1960s he boarded at my house. An ordinary constable, his bedroom was across from mine. We ate together. He taught me how to tie a Windsor Knot. When he called on me for SIS five years later I told him that I thought he was on a witch hunt. He said that I needed to know that we had to know who was with us and who wasn’t. These were Cold War days. My response was, “Who is us?” Following 9-11, Canadian Maher Arar was flown from the U.S.A. to Syria for torture with a nod from our RCMP. Mr. Arar was innocent and returned home a broken man.

Mr. Arar’s experience of the tragic screwups that plague overly robust policing here and abroad instructed me that I am expendable to protect the almighty “us.” Fear mongering and an abundance of police power will lead to excesses. Many accept it. It’s about “never mind so long as all of the rest of us are safe, secure and comfortable.” In Nazi days, German Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) put it aptly. “First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. “Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. Add the environmental activists and political dissidents to the list and you have the recipe that the Conservative Party of Canada is cooking up in Ottawa with Bill C-51. Write your MP today. Dave Cursons, Cawston, B.C.

Debate over, skeptics should ‘cap it’

Editor, The Gazette: The inside scoop is that Stephen Harper will have to call an election well before the Oct. 19th scheduled date. Odds are he will be forced to in an attempt to maintain whatever dwindling support he and his party may have. Indeed, the usual election signals are pretty obvious with the party leaders and various candidates posing for photo ops and extolling the virtues of their respective parties. Party platforms, however, are still being kept under wraps, with the exception of Justin Trudeau’s recent announcement. Trudeau presented the Liberal’s policy regarding the so-called carbon tax and the carbon cap. Mr. Trudeau’s idea is to allow for the provinces to administer these mechanisms according to their own criteria and needs. While I am pretty sure the average Canadian hasn’t got a clue what might be a fair or justifiable amount of tax placed on carbon or what is and how a carbon cap works, Trudeau’s idea sounds reasonable. There is just one huge problem with this policy: there is no Anthropogenic Global Warming! In fact, the results from

the data investigated at the last UN-sponsored International Panel on Climate Change “bun toss” held in Lima, Peru verifies just that. There has been no discernable increase of global temperatures in the last 15 to 20 years, in spite of increases in CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. Notice the deafening silence coming from the “warmists.” Our earth does indeed experience climatic change and while there are numerous variables to consider, quite probably the most compelling explanation is the cyclical and fluctuating activity of our sun’s forces on our earth...the less solar activity the colder and more unpredictable weather patterns. Our sun is indeed entering a period of low activity, known as a “grand minimum.” In fact, scientists who are not concerned with cooking data to fit their computer projections of global warming have clearly shown that we are entering an interglacial period advancing towards another ice age. Our earth’s orbit also comes into play. The tilt of the earth’s axis and our planet’s spinning • See SKEPTICS page A8

Man charged with trafficking POLICE BRIEFS

By Craig Lindsay

Accident on Central

On Feb. 23 at 8:18 a.m., police received a report of a collision near 131 Central Avenue. “The report was significant debris including a damaged guard rail near the Granby River Bridge,” said Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison of the Grand Forks RCMP detachment. “Approximately 8:45 a.m., the driver reported she collided with the guard rail and advised that she had been feeling sick. Apparently, she traveled off the road to her right in her black 2008 Chevy Equinox.” Harrison said that upon attendance, police noted that damage on the guard rail as well as damage to the front right of the vehicle. “It appears the driver made an illegal left hand turn from Riverside Drive onto Central Avenue,” he said. “As a result, a charge for making an illegal turn was issued.” The driver was a 69-year-old Grand Forks female. Colin arrested in stolen car with $2K worth of drugs

On Feb. 23 at 6:49 p.m., RCMP received a call of a possible impaired driver. “As a result, police met up with the suspicious vehicle on Central Avenue and it turned out the vehicle was stolen,” said Harrison. “The truck was stolen in Penticton. The constable arrested

Manager leaves CITY OF GRAND FORKS Submitted to the Gazette

Last week’s puzzle solved

City of Grand Forks’ manager of operations Roger Huston has left the organization. “We are extremely sad to see Roger go, he was a great addition to the organization, and worked really well with Public Works team and the public. We wish him well in his new position,” said Doug Allin, chief administrative officer for the city, in a press release. Huston joined the city in the spring of 2014 and will be furthering his career in the South Okanagan. “I’ve really enjoyed my time here in Grand Forks and am grateful for the opportunity to work with such a great group of people. An excellent opportunity came along that I wasn’t expecting and I felt that I couldn’t turn down,” Huston said. His last day with the city will be at the end of March. The city will be posting for the Manager of Operations position internally, first, which is in keeping with the succession plan the city has implemented.

a local Grand Forks male. There was further stolen property in the vehicle including a chain saw and, we believe, other items we seized that we are trying to determine if they were stolen or not, including a very large DJ style sound system complete with amp and large speakers.” Harrison said police also found over $2,000 worth of drugs. The drugs were heroine, cocaine and some methamphetamine. The person charged was held in custody and remanded until they can appear in court. Charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000, as well as three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, is Darcy Colin, a 40-year-old male from Grand Forks. Break-in at Whispers of Hope

On Feb. 24 at 8:03 a.m., police received a report of a break-in at Whispers of Hope. “Apparently, entry was gained through a front window and a certain amount of cash, which was in a safe, was stolen,” said Harrison. Police have several suspects in mind and are continuing to investigate, he added. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288.

Skeptics

Continued from page A7

in orbit around our sun in our solar system, which in turn is dancing through our Milky Way galaxy which in turn is tripping the light fantastic through our self-developing, accelerating, expanding universe, it has been postulated, may possibly cause climate change... that this journey will have a many thousands of years cyclical effect on our globe’s weather. It is most certain that human reliance on fossil fuels is a major pollution problem and a definite concern for any thinking human being who wishes to create the best possible energy applications for the well-being of our earth’s citizens and our biosphere. It is imperative that any human being who ascribes to such ideas, endorse the development of nuclear energy and an international crash program for the development of nuclear fusion. Canadians should not accept any policy that promotes the unnecessary taxation and spending of tax dollars on a lost cause of mitigating natural climatic fluctuations. The debate is over and the skeptics and deniers of real climate science should do us all a favour and “cap it!” Brian Gray, Candidate (Ind) South Okanagan-West Kootenay, Penticton, B.C.

Overwaitea stores across B.C. are celebrating the 100th birthday of the franchise with cake and ice cream this Sunday. Grand Forks Overwaitea is no exception. The store will have cake, ice cream and great specials in store on Sunday, March 8 from 12 to 4 p.m. The Overwaitea store in Grand Forks ﬁrst opened in 1931 on Market Avenue (then Bridge Street). The store currently employs 50 employees. Store manager is Dave Chappelle, while the assistant manager is Ben Lens. Chappelle, who has been with the store since February 2010, said the store has been successful over the years in large part because of their support of the community. “We support the community at every opportunity,” he said. “The people that work in the store are the community. We’ve got people working here that have been here for 30-plus years.” Overwaitea has been involved with the Canada Day celebrations, Relay For Life, GFI and many more local events. Chappelle said there has been many changes in the past few decades. “Certainly the competition has changed, what we offer has changed,” he said. “We are still small town B.C. and we are limited to what we can offer. But at every opportunity we look at that and focus on it. Technology has also created all kinds of change.”

My TOC was new to my class and it was pizza day, Favourite Character Dressup Day and Valentine’s Day. I was very nervous for her this morning so I popped into my class to contact her, greet some of my students and alert the support staff at school to be ready to help in my class if needed. The Gazette is pleased to present the first in a series of columns from district teachers, giving insight into our area’s classrooms.

five students again today but more positive words.

Feb 18: We had a great day today. Dancing was first with our wonderful volunteer and parent helper Laurie Nichols. Then more work with patterns and shapes for Math. Most of the children finished their novel project today! The children had music with a TOC, Mrs. Thate. All earned a jelly prize for music this week! In Science, we are studying animal life cycles and all were very interested to learn about kangaroos (special mammals, from Australia, called marsupials). We ended our day sewing our mandalas—two done now, so they are our experts!

Feb 19: We had a great field trip this morning. Walked down to the empty “Acres Drugs/ Work n Play” building. Maureen Shields presented the history of that building and other buildings on Market Avenue. Then, the children painted a mural for display. Great fun! For the second hour, we went to the art gallery where the children were divided amongst three amazing volunteers who maintained the interest and action of these busy children. Lots of favourites and best parts exclaimed over! Special thanks to the curator Ted Fogg and his staff and volunteers. Sharon Peron’s class took a field trip in late January to see Suki Lawrence of the Grand Forks Sewer and Water Department. The children used the vaculator to suction pylons and then Suki vacumned up snow which was very exciting!

GFSS narrowly loses championship SEAN O’BRIEN

Grand Forks Gazette

The GFSS junior basketball team had an incredible outing in their home gymnasium this weekend hosting the West Kootenay Championships. The tournament field consisted of seven teams: Nelson, Trail, Castlegar, South Slocan, Midway, Salmo and Grand Forks Secondary battled to determine the top junior team in the region. Grand Forks came into the tournament ranked third thanks to a strong finish to the season that saw them win their last five games in February. Their first match-up would be against sixthranked Salmo, a team the boys were yet to play this season. “Facing an unknown in a championship tournament is always very nerveracking, so it was crucial not to underestimate our opponent,” said coach Sean O’Brien. “Although we were a little flat energy-wise, we won the game decisively.” Grand Forks beat Salmo 40-23 behind the hot shooting of Liam McKinlay and the steady point guard play of Sam Foy. In their second matchup, GFSS would face Rival Castlegar (ranked second) to determine who would compete in the finals against top-ranked Mt. Sentinel. GFSS was confident from the get go, as two previous victories over their opponent had them prepared for their pace and talent. Although Castlegar

would play with high defensive pressure for the entire second half, Grand Forks was able to capture their seventh straight win 28-23. The championship game between GFSS and Mt. Sentinel lived up to the billing. With a packed crowd representing both teams, the game went back and forth, with GF leading the majority of the game by 5-7 points. Noor Sibat was once again key against Sentinel, this time dominating the game in post. The final minutes were an intense battle, where injuries and missed free throws would ultimately be the deciding factor—the final score Mt. Sentinel 36, GFSS 33. “You can’t comment on this season,

this run without highlighting Tieren Dolan’s effort. His injury in the final was devastating. He was new to the team, the game at the start of the season, but by the end, he was our defensive anchor, the heart and soul of this team,” O’Brien said. “He showed his teammates how much you can improve with the right attitude.” He added, “The fact these young men are embracing the importance of the team concept at such a young age, is a great sign for our future. Ten of these guys are coming back to compete at the junior level next year. After the show these guys put on tonight for the home crowd, I know the support will be there.”

Open house Hockey and skating season is winding down and spring outdoor programs are starting.

Notice of Passing ~ In Memoriam Call Darlainea at 250-442-2191 to place your announcement

Mary Soukoroff

Thank You Thank you for all the fabulous food, gifts that nourished our bodies.

Mary was born in Grand Forks on August 15, 1926 to parents Sam and Tina Strukoff. She grew up in the Doukhobour Sion Community at the Horkoff Village. Mary attended classes at the Fructova School and also attended Russian School. She was an imaginative child, and she and her friends found many ways to amuse themselves. In her early teens, she enjoyed swimming, sledding, singing in choirs, going to movies and baseball games. In her later teens, Mary worked at various canneries and packing houses in the Osoyoos, Oliver and Penticton areas.

The Franz Family

In 2011, Mary suffered the loss of her youngest daughter Natasha to cancer and soon her health declined and she moved to Castlewood. As her health declined further she then moved to Talarico Place Care Centre. Left to mourn her loss is her daughter Marge (Peter) Perepolkin of Glade, her son Fred (Cheryl) of Nanaimo, her daughter Mary (Larry) Shave of Calgary and her son Sam of Grand Forks; 5 grandchildren; 5 greatgrandchildren; her sister Dorothy (Peter) Chernoff and many nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives and friends. Funeral Services were officiated by Jerry Seminoff at the Grand Forks USCC Centre on Friday, February 27, 2015 followed by the interment in the Sion Cemetery. The family of Mary Soukoroff would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone attending the service, friends and relatives who traveled from afar, and the Grand Forks Community. Our relatives, friends, and neighbours for their kind expressions of sympathy, phone calls, cards, donations, food and visits. Thank you to John Verigin Jr. and Laura Verigin and family for your kind and comforting words. Thank you to Jerry Seminoff for guidance and officiating the service. A special thank you to Mike and Shirley Sookochoff for your loving and heartwarming help, it was very much appreciated. Thank you to Faye and John Malins for your advice and support. Thank you to the psalmists and singers for your wonderful singing, to the ladies cooking group for the preparation and serving of the delicious meal, to the bread committee and the lapsha committee, and to the hard working men who prepared Mom’s final resting place. Thank you to Dr Ellen Smart who was always there for Mary when needed. Thank you to Bill Strilaeff and the staff of Castlegar Funeral Home for their professional service and assistance. Thank you to the Castlewood Village staff for making Mary welcome in her new home. A special Thank you to the staff of Talarico Place for the love, care, kindness and comfort they gave Mom during her stay there. You were an extended part of her family. “MAY GOD ACCEPT YOUR SOUL INTO HIS HEAVENLY KINGDOM”

Community

To all our friends and neighbours for all the calls, cards, visits and flowers to nourish our souls.

With sad hearts the family of Mary Soukoroff, of Castlegar, wishes to announce her passing at Talarico Place Care Centre, with her daughter Marge by her side, on Thursday, February 19, 2015, blessed with 88 years of life.

In 1951, Mary married Fred George Soukoroff of Pass Creek. The young family lived in Pass Creek, Grand Forks and Fife, finally settling in Grand Forks. After Mary and Fred parted, she worked outside the home and raised the children. Mary was a member of the USCC and was a member of the cooking and lapsha groups and the Ladies Choir. She was an excellent cook, seamstress, an avid gardener and especially loved her flower garden. Mary enjoyed reading, crocheting and travelling and made many visits to her children wherever they were at the time.

I am a poor wayfaring stranger Travelling through this world of woe There is no sickness, toil nor danger In that fair land to which I go I’m going home To see my mother I’m going home No more to roam I am just going over home

I know dark clouds hover o’er me I know my pathway is rough and steep But golden ﬁelds lie out before me Where weary eyes no more will weep I’m going home to see my father I’m going home no more to roam I am just going over home. We love you forever ~ Dad Mom and Jake
