British Columbians support tougher distracted driving penalties By Tom Fletcher Halfway through a consultation on distracted driving policy, the vast majority of B.C. residents who have responded want fines increased. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton says thousands of people have participated on the B.C. government’s consultation website,

“

British Columbians are also telling us they want to see tougher escalating penalties for repeat offenders, because right now some people see the $167 ticket as the cost of doing business,”

escalating penalties for repeat offenders, because right now some people see the $167 ticket as the cost of doing business,” Anton said Tuesday. “We need to stop that.” B.C.’s fine is the second lowest in Canada, and a three-point insurance penalty was added last fall. Anton said she doesn’t intend to follow Ontario’s lead and put the fine up to $1,000 for repeat offenders, but an increase will be coming within a year.

Comments on the website www.gov. bc.ca/distracteddriving continue to debate the merits of seizing cellphones from drivers, but Anton reiterated that option is not being considered. Suspending licences or impounding vehicles of repeat offenders is on the table, however. Saskatchewan impounds the vehicle for a week if the driver gets two distracted driving tickets less than a year apart. The consultation continues until July

16. Participants are asked to reply to nine questions. The crowd-sourcing exercise has its weaknesses. Only five per cent of respondents have come from the B.C. Interior, and Anton said younger people are also underrepresented. The province attributes 88 deaths to distracted driving last year, second to speeding and ahead of impaired driving.

Campfire bans in effect BC Wildfire Service firefighting personnel and structural protection crews have been busy dismantling illegal burn piles put in place in anticipation of Canada Day celebrations, and the RCMP have been consulted. These incidents divert critical resources from responding to wildfires and other emergencies. The Southeast Fire Centre is reminding people that the current Category 2 and 3 open burning prohibitions in place specifically prohibit fires other than campfires, as defined in the wildfire regulation. The Fire Danger Rating is high in many areas of the Southeast Fire Centre region, and is expected to escalate. Additionally, there have been 53 new lightning-caused fires since last Thursday, and more lightning is expected through the weekend. It is impera-

tive that BC Wildfire Service personnel remain available to respond to these naturally occurring fires. Large party fires are illegal, and can easily grow out of control. Any person allowing a large party fire on their property can expect the gathering to be dismantled and fines to be issued. Anyone present at a party fire that grows out of control may be held liable for full suppression costs. Due to hot and dry conditions, a campfire prohibition will be put in place at noon Pacific on July 3, 2015 to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. Campfires must be less than a half-metre wide by a half-metre high and must never be left unattended. Anyone lighting a campfire must ensure they have a hand tool such as a shovel or at least eight litres of

water readily available to properly extinguish the fire. The ashes must be cold to the touch before leaving the area. Anyone found in contravention of a fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call 1 800 6635555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

Physical literacy conference shows early activity very important by Janis Neufeld Over 400 professionals from across the world and from a range of sectors including health, education, leisure, play and sport gathered with the common goal of developing a global community committed to the development of physical literacy. The International Physical Literacy Conference 2015 was held in Vancouver from June 13th -16th. In attendance from the Columbia Basin were Amy Shields and Nicola Marynowski from the Trail Gymnastics Club, Kim Palfenier from the Nelson Regional

Sports Council and Sandi Lavery and Janis Neufeld from PacificSport Columbia Basin. Physical activity is a lot more fun when we are physically literate. In addition, if we want our children to remain active for life, they need to develop physical literacy at a young age. What is Physical Literacy? Professor Margaret Whitehead, University of Bedforshire, leading authority provided the definition as “... the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement

in physical activities for life”. Physical Literacy is the journey of gaining physical movement skills to enable and encourage participation in sport and physical activity throughout a life span. Furthermore, it is a well-established body awareness leading to fluent movement, which can be applied to any sport, or physical activity and is an understanding of the principles of holistic health leading to greater self-esteem and selffulfillment. Researchers in attendance shared studies and evidence to support the concept of children learning physical literacy skills in

their early school years, rather than the previously garnered thought of focusing on sport specific skills to gain success. Giving opportunities and encouraging children to participate in a variety of sports, movements and experiences will create the foundation for specific sport skills further along in their development. This is an exciting concept for children and parents in the Columbia Basin due to our limited access to sport opportunities for youth, especially in rural areas. A child exposed to an environment developing physical literacy can reach their potential as an athlete without special-

The next step is to encourage our communities, schools, clubs and recreation organizations to adopt the principles and methodology of physical lit-

eracy. Decision makers in health, education and sport need to be influenced to adopt and embrace physical literacy as an integral part of the development of all persons liv-

ing in the region. There are many resources available through the Canadian Sport For Life websites at www. canadiansportforlife. ca and www.physicalliteracy.ca.

Federal candidates discuss their stance on marijuana laws by Kevin Nimmock, Invermere Valley Echo

Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks has been a strong advocate for the continued criminalization of marijuana since being elected in 2011. While addressing the House of Commons on June 2nd, he panned Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau for his plan to legalize marijuana if elected. “The Liberal plan to legalize and normalize marijuana sends a message to youth that smoking marijuana is not only an acceptable activity but is one endorsed through government regulation,” Wilks said. “The Liberal leader’s policy is irresponsible. It ignores marijuana’s lasting and serious health effects.” Wilks’ stance is to continue restricting access to marijuana. He chairs the Conservative Law Enforcement Caucus and was instrumental in proposing changes to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, along with Minister of Health Rona Ambrose. The proposed changes would allow the Minister of Health and law officials to more easily control new drugs, combat illegal drug production and distribution, and more effectively ensure the compliance of the controlled substance industry. Decriminalizing marijuana would involve allowing for personal use, but continuing to police the sale and

manufacturing of the drug. Legalization would lift all laws banning possession and personal use of marijuana. Don Johnston, the Kootenay-Columbia Liberal candidate, agrees with Trudeau’s plans. He said that, whatever happens, something needs to be done quickly about the way marijuana is handled in this country. “There was a recent World Health Organization study that found marijuana use among teenagers is higher in Canada than any other country,” Johnston said. “What the Conservatives keep talking about is trying to keep it out of the hands of children or teenagers. The current policy is clearly failing in that one important element.” The Liberal mandate is to both decriminalize and legalize marijuana. Johnston said marijuana is a social, rather than criminal issue. “It is very expensive to incarcerate people, especially people who are not a risk to society,” Johnston said. Johnston referenced the United States as an example of change occurring around marijuana legislation that is happening nearby. Twenty three states have decriminalized marijuana and four have fully legalized it to date. “If you had told me five years ago that the United States would be leading Canada in terms of its thinking and legislation around

marijuana, I would have been stunned by the notion,” Johnston said. NDP candidate Wayne Stetski is also in favour of decriminalizing marijuana, though his approach to changing policy around the drug is far less aggressive than Johnston’s. Stetski said he is not in support of legalizing the drug at the federal level until it is clear what effects such a policy would have. “Decriminalizing at this points lets me then see how the legalization of marijuana would likely go and what the issues are around that for communities,” Stetski said. “Ultimately, it is (in) communities where you will find the impact.” He said in the shortterm decriminalization is necessary to address overpopulation in prisons. “I do not think our court system and our jails are used effectively when you are dealing with relatively minor charges associated with marijuana,” Stetski said. “Looking at the recent decisions, our laws are currently out of step with where the Supreme Court of Canada seems to be going with their thinking.” The Supreme Court recently made a landmark decision by concluding that consumable forms of marijuana must be allowed for patients seeking medical marijuana. This decision has already made marijuana more accessible for patients looking to use it.

Bill Green, the Green Party candidate for the Kootenay-Columbia riding, is also in favour of both legalizing and decriminalizing marijuana, in line with his party’s longtime stance. The party’s plans go beyond simply removing laws against pos-

sessing and manufacturing the drug. “We are talking about legalizing it in general and then associating it with research and education about risks and benefits,” Green said. “We are calling for studies in a medical context so doctors can

prescribe it as a drug in the regulated drug system.” He said not enough has yet been done to fully understand the potential impacts of marijuana as a clinical drug. Moving forward, he wants to promote education around the

positives and negatives associated with marijuana. Area residents will get to decide their stance of marijuana in the October 19th federal election when they vote for which candidate to officially support.

The Weekday View

Opinion: Another tactic for drunk drivers by Brian Coombs Quick question: What has eight arms and an IQ of 60? A drunk driving his three friends home. It boggles the mind that in this information age people are still getting in their cars and driving after drinking. According to the RCMP, a person is killed every three days during summer in impaired related crashes. ICBC recently released the top excuses given by drivers caught in CounterAttack roadchecks and they read like a primer in idiocy: • “My girlfriend was too drunk to make it home from the bar, so I’m going to pick her up.” • “I’m an idiot!” • “But I have a driver’s licence, no one else had a driver’s licence!” • “I don’t feel drunk!” • “I’m only two blocks from home.” • “Mom told me to bring the truck home.” • “I had to pick up my husband.” As my father used to say, “Those are reasons, not an excuse.” When you think about that phrase for a moment, its depth becomes apparent. A person can always think of reasons for their stupidity, but there is never an excuse to get behind the wheel of a ton (or more) of steel and hit the highway. I’ve known a few

RCMP officers during my time in news. One, in particular, made it his mission to remove drunk drivers from the highways. He took it personally and confided in me that he felt that driving drunk was the most selfish act a person could do. The madder the impaired driver got at him, the more he knew he was doing his job. That RCMP officer, and the majority of the rest of us, know that should a drunk driver be hurt or killed in an accident, it is horrible for the family—but it was also something brought on by the driver. Should that driver kill an innocent, which happens in many cases, it is an unthinkable tragedy made worse by the fact that it was so unnecessary. Now people who drink and drive will not read past the first sentence of this editorial. Decades of anti-drunk driving messages have failed to hit home and they are far too deluded or selfish to change their ways—especially if they feel like they are being preached to. So it is up to us, all of us who know people who drink and drive to try to save a life. As mentioned above, preaching rarely if ever works. Reciting statistics will probably not work on these idiots either. I suggest strong and unrelenting ridicule.

Ridicule their intellect. Ridicule their driving ability. Ridicule their lack of self-control and if the offending driver happens to be male, bring out the big guns and ridicule their manhood. Don’t accept rides from these people, even when they are sober. Let them know that you will not put your life in the hands of someone who obviously makes horrendous decisions. While you’re at it, throw in a little joke about how their breath smells. You just can’t ridicule people who drink and drive enough. It is understood that drunk driving is not a laughing matter though. The point of ceaseless ridicule isn’t for laughs, it is instead a plan to make them social pariahs. It may not stop their behaviour, but it lets them know in no uncertain terms, that nobody thinks they are cool. Who knows? Maybe that will force them to confine their drinking to their home and they won’t feel the need to get in their car and drive. So hats off to another year of CounterAttack roadchecks. I hope this year sees a record for the least amount of drunk drivers stopped because the message is getting through. And for the ones who are stopped and receive a roadside suspension or something more severe, I hope the RCMP officer and the other motorists waiting in line feel free to ridicule that driver mercilessly.

Letter: To Sam Steele Society & Volunteers On behalf of Mayor and Council and the entire City of Cranbrook, I want to thank the organizers of the 2015 Sam Steele Days and all of the

volunteers and event sponsors. Every year the festival grows along with the number of people, both residents and visitors, which are drawn into

Letter: Clock Tower Square looking good Congratulations to city staff and the Downtown Business Association for their great work on revitalizing Cranbrook’s Clock Tower Square! The project was designed in 2013 with four objectives: • Create a safer walking surface. • Improve access for people with disabilities • Improve visibility for the businesses fronting the Square. • Create an attractive meeting space for resi-

dents and visitors Three design options were presented to the Downtown business Association and we chose to go with their preferred design, which I trust is the one that the City is now implementing. There are four bases ready for benches (as well as spaces for some additional lighting and a tree), and coincidentally there are four locations at bus stops along 14th Avenue that have two benches each.

nity and without the hard work and dedication of the Society and all the volunteers this event could not be the success it is year after year. Thank you for what you do for Cranbrook. ~Mayor Lee Pratt, City of Cranbrook

One option would be to relocate these four “extra” benches to Clock Tower Square, which would save the project some money. Moving the benches would also create some spaces along 14th Avenue at the bus stops that could be filled in creative ways: • Hold a 14th Avenue Art Contest and encourage our amazing local arts community to come up with public art for the spaces • Put up small community information boards to keep residents informed • Provide a planter box for flowers at each

bus stop and invite some of the greenthumb neighbours to “adopt” a flower box and showcase their talents • Install bicycle stands so citizens can bike and bus easily without having to ride their bikes up that challenging hill coming home! If you haven’t been downtown recently I’d encourage you to head down and have a look at Clock Tower Square. This is another welcoming space in Cranbrook that we can all be proud of ! ~Wayne Stetski, Cranbrook

MR MIKES raises funds in support of KidSport On Saturday, June 27, MR MIKES SteakhouseCasual saw hundreds of Mikes and Michaels gather as part of its unique Mikes Unite campaign.

Another successful competition for the Bull River Shooters

Photo submitted

The winners of the most recent Bull River Shooters’ Association competition saw a range of ages, rifles and experience levels. by Bradley Woods The BRSA gathered for another outstanding weekend of shooting and camaraderie June 13/14. Saturday saw 25 shooters competing for bragging rights and personal accomplishment. I think that’s what is so appealing about our game (besides the report of a rifle and the smell of gunpowder)! We always have the opportunity to compete with others and compare how

we are doing against other, stronger shooters; at the same time we track our individual scores and experience the challenge of a game where on any given day we can be “Olympic” or realize we need more practice. This is the stuff of life and shooting, like any recreation, helps us in so many other parts of our life. The results listed below only tell part of the story and I encourage you to check us out to see so much more of

what this means to us. Small Bore Standard Rifle: • Match Winner – Jim Zimmerman • AAA – Kalvin Marsh • AA – Jordan Marsh • A – Curtis Klima • B– Markus Roth Small Bore Hunter Rifle: • Match Winner – Jim Zimmerman • AAA – Kalvin Marsh • AA – Gary Phillips • A – Clayton Williams • B– Curtis Klima

High Power match: • 1st Jeramey Marsh • 2nd Kalvin Marsh • 3rd Dave Sherret • 4th Bill Johnson • 5th Rick Fraser • 6th Rocky Marsh • 7th Dale Leask Silhouette shooting is spectator friendly… when the target is hit it often results in a clang of metal and the target goes spinning and flying! Bring some binoculars and a set of hearing protection (really only needed for high power matches). If you enjoy shoot-

ing you’ll likely be attracted to the game. If you think you’d like to try shooting there are many of us who enjoy sharing our love for the sport. Just ask and we’ll let you try! Membership fees for the BRSA are $90 for the year (April 1 ~ March 31). Additional dependant family members may join for $15 each, which covers insurance costs. In addition to insurance (which includes liability protection

for members if ever involved in a shooting accident) and ongoing club expenses, dues cover your participation in 4 club matches, scheduled throughout the season. Juniors compete for free. Membership for those 65 years and up is $35.00 but does not include any match fees. Memberships can be purchased from Rick Fraser at 250-464-5648. Memberships can also be purchased at any club match.

A wealth of information about Metallic Silhouette shooting can be found on the Internet. For information about the BRSA please contact Rick Fraser at 250464-5648. New members are always welcome! We look forward to seeing you at the range. Our next match is July 25 for small-bore. We also shoot August 22 and 23 and then meet again Labour Day weekend to get ready for Hunting Season!

place for neighbourhoods to come together. “Farmers’ markets are pretty much a second home for me,” said Rachelle Zelaney, farmer and owner of Zelaney Farms in Vernon, BC. “My family has been growing food for the Vernon community and selling at our local markets for more than 25 years. We’re very excited to meet some new faces at our booth during Meet My Market month in July!” BC Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said, “There’s something special about every farmers’ market and I encourage everyone to share their favourite with a friend, as well as visiting a few more! When you visit your local farmers’ market you

can see and taste what BC has to offer and all while supporting local jobs and businesses.” Vancity is thrilled to be supporting this initiative and encouraging British Columbians to show off the bounty of local food available at farmers’ markets. Promoting a viable and sustainable food system is something that Vancity is invested in, and farmers’ markets are an excellent vehicle to support local food security, a healthier environment and more resilient local economies. I can’t wait to introduce a few of my friends to my local market this summer, says Moira Teevan, Community Investment Manager at Vancity and campaign supporter. Funding support

for Meet My Market month is provided, in part, by the BC Government’s Buy Local Program; delivered by the Investment A g r i c u l t u r e Foundation of BC with funding from the BC Ministry of Agriculture, Vancity and the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets. Celebrate Meet My Market month this July and you could win big! Here’s how: 1. At participating markets: Simply bring a friend to your favourite BC farmers’ market and fill out a ballot at the info booth. Many markets are offering additional incentives such as a free coffee or baked treat. 2. Via social media: Snap a photo at your favourite BC farmers’ market and post

it on social media, tagging @bcfarmersmarket and add #MeetMyMarket to enter. Not on Instagram or Twitter? No problem. You can also enter via the BCAFM Facebook Page. 3. All entries will be automatically entered to win one of two grand prizes: A three-‐ night getaway (+ wine touring) for two to Sparkling Hill Resort in the Okanagan. Social media entrants will also be eligible to win one of five weekly random prize draws for $50 to spend at the farmers’ market of their choice.

W i l d s i g h t Kimberley/Cranbrook and Cranbrook Food Action Committee will be hosting a “Soil Mates Companion Planting Garden Workshop.” The first workshop kicks off on Tuesday July 7th in Kimberley at The Open Gate Garden on Rotary Drive and the second workshop on Wednesday July 8th in Cranbrook at

The Public Produce Garden, beside MacKinnon Park. Each workshop will run between 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. and costs $15 per person or $10 per Wildsight member, with volunteer bursaries available. Companion planting, otherwise known as partner planting, follows the age old observation that some plants grow better

when in the company of others. “We can see this when we look at the Three Sisters,’ says Dirk de Geus, Wildsight Kimberley/Cranbrook Food Sustainability Coordinator. “The Three Sisters are corn, beans and squash. The corn grows nice and tall and provides a structure for beans to climb onto. The beans provide nitrogen to the soil for the other plants to use, and the squash spreads along the ground benefiting the garden in numerous ways. These ways include blocking sunlight to help prevent the establishment of weeds, creating a natural mulch, and deterring pests with its prickly leaves.” The topics covered in the workshop include how plants in your garden benefit from being planted together to enhance growth and taste, how they can naturally deter pests, and which plants do not make good part-

ners. Dirk is a passionate gardener and says, “Nature does not grow in rows, nor will it grow one species of plant in one area; everything interacts. If you would like to grow bigger, tastier and healthier plants in a natural way, this is worth checking out.” To register or find out more about the workshops visit www. wildsight.ca/kimcran or call 250-427-9325 x 221 Unique gardening workshops are held on a regular basis at The Open Gate Garden in Kimberley and The Public Produce Garden in Cranbrook. The gardens are open to anyone and there are no fees. Everyone and anyone can plant, water, weed and harvest freely. It is a great opportunity for those who do not have a personal garden or do not have the time to fully commit to gardening. These spaces are based on principles of sharing and learning.
