Considering assessments

Philip Watson examines his property assessment notice. He noticed a decrease in the value of his mobile home and many other mobile homes in the area and around the province. The assessment notices were sent out earlier this month.

Assessment questioned Mobile homes come in at lower level than single family houses John Arendt

When Philip Watson received his property assessment notice earlier this month, he was concerned with the change. Watson, who lives in the Lakeview Terraces mobile home on Walters Road, said his property value decreased from last year’s figure. He added that many of his neighbours, as well as other owners of mobile homes in Sum-

single family homes increased in value over the past year.

Tracy Wall, deputy assessor for the Thompson Okanagan region, said assessments are based on market values. She added that some properties and some types of housing do not

follow the trends seen in single family house values. “The whole market doesn’t go up together,” she said. Gary Gratton, president of the South Okanagan Real Estate Board, said the change in mobile home assessments is an anomaly. “Any other type of homes has certainly gone up in value over the past year,” he said. He added that of all categories of housing, mobile homes are the slowest in gaining values. Those homes which are more than 20 to 30 years old tend to depreciate, he added.

Bail denied after guns found Dale Boyd

A man was denied bail after multiple guns were allegedly found in his vehicle by police in Summerland. Richard Arthur Crawford, 34, is charged with careless use or storage of a firearm, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, possessing a firearm without license or registration, occupying a vehicle knowing a firearm is present, mischief, uttering threats and two counts of breaching a recognizance. On Jan. 16 at around 10 a.m. Penticton RCMP received an anonymous weapons complaint. Crown alleged that the anonymous caller said Crawford had a handgun, bulletproof vest and was threatening to kill someone. Penticton and Summerland RCMP members talked to a former girlfriend of Crawford’s, Dierdie Simms, who could not confirm that he had a weapon, but identified the vehicle he was driving. Police located the vehicle and arrested Crawford, searching the vehicle police were unable to locate a firearm, however, Crown said mem-

bers located a kevlar vest which Crawford told police was for bull riding. Crawford was eventually released. Later that day, around 9:45 p.m., Crown said police received a report that Crawford was at Simms residence attempting to kick the door in. “Simms was not aware if he had any firearms, but was informed by the neighbours that said Crawford was going door to door asking about (a man) and saying that he was going to shoot him,” Crown counsel Kevin Fotty said during Crawford’s bail hearing Jan. 18 in Penticton. Police stopped Crawford’s suspected vehicle near 10 p.m. in front of Giant’s Head School. Crown alleged police noticed a silver handgun with a black handle partially buried in the snow of the box of Crawford’s pickup truck. Crawford was placed under arrest without incident and a pair of latex gloves were found in the front pocket of his hoodie. The 9-mm handgun was observed to be cocked with a magazine seeded. A further search yielded a black hoodie with a second handgun with a

seeded magazine loaded with rounds. Three cell phones and an unknown amount of cash was found in the truck as well. “Without prompting, Crawford asked ‘how much does a guy do for firearms now?’” Fotty said. “Crawford admitted to being on other criminal charges without being asked and said they were conspiracy to traffic and organized crime.” Crown alleged that while being transported Crawford became violent and kicked the passenger door in the back of the police cruiser. “Crawford also stated ‘I don’t even give a [expletive] about jail. It’s that (woman) selling all my (stuff)’,” Fotty said. Further search of the pick-up truck yielded a ski-mask, latex gloves and 9-mm pistol ammo. Defence counsel for Crawford, Lisa Scruton, argued for his release on a minimum $5,000 to a maximum of $15,000 surety and that Crawford would reside with his father with a curfew. Judge Meg Shaw denied Crawford’s bail. Crawford returns to court Feb. 10.

Hunting equipment stolen from truck

An estimated $7,800 worth of hunting and camping equipment was reported stolen following a theft from a vehicle earlier this month. The theft was reported Jan. 12 on Julia Street. Among the items taken were Kuiu camouflage backpack, a Kuiu camouflage jacket, Kuiu camouflage gloves, a black Arcteryx jacket, a pair of Vortex Talon binoculars, a Vortex Razor spotting scope, a Western Mountaneering Versalite sleeping bag, a green MSR Hubba Hubba tent, and other camping and hunting equipment. Summerland RCMP are continuing their investigation of the theft.

Money available for youth work Carla McLeod Special to the Review

The board of directors for the Summerland Charity Shops Society would like the community to know that they are still here. They remain committed to supporting youth-related programs and the youth of Summerland. During the 11 years that the Society operated the Penny Lane store they contributed more than $2 million to a long list of organizations in Summerland and the South Okanagan, whose focus is youth orientated. In October of 2013, the society announced the creation of the Penny Lane Community Legacy Fund, established with the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan/Similkameen, with an initial commitment of $500,000. Last year the $23,000 of interest earned on the fund, was given out to three applicants to that organization. “We gave SADI $5,000, we gave

Season’s Greetings

Do you believe we are becoming more and more like our American cousins? Well, in some respects their culture has been a very big influence on ours. Whether or not that is a good thing is a matter of opinion and for that matter who's opinion it is. From a legal stand point, there are many areas where the American judicial system has encountered situations years ahead of the Canadian experience and as a result has been used as a guide by the Canadian courts in dealing with that situation. One aspect of our two legal systems will never be the same however, and that is the influence that juries play in creating law and awards. In America, a jury has a relatively free reign in handing out awards in civil matters. In Canada there are strict limitations on the amounts a Judge or Jury can award. The reason for this column? An article in the Canadian Lawyer Magazine estimated the value of all monetary awards given by juries in the US in 2002. The number was $283 BILLION dollars. Something to think about.

EDITORIAL Celebrating effort The initial list of nominees for the 78th annual Business and Community Awards Gala shows there are a lot of outstanding individuals, businesses and organizations in Summerland. This year, the Summerland Chamber of Commerce has received 59 nominations for the annual awards presentation. A total of 10 awards will be presented for business excellence in a variety of categories. In addition, the Citizen/Volunteer of the Year award will recognize outstanding work by an individual in the community. The Mayor’s Award of Excellence, given at the mayor’s discretion, will honour a local organization for an outstanding contribution to the community. Each of the nominees has demonstrated a commitment to an individual business, a dedication to providing good service or a commitment to improving the community as a whole. The number of nominations received this year is significantly higher than in past years. The list of nominees shows that the efforts made by the various businesses and individuals have not gone unnoticed. In the coming days, the list will be reviewed and two finalists will be selected in each category. This is a difficult task as there are many impressive nominees, The business community will then vote electronically to determine a winner for the business categories, while voting for the recipient of the Citizen/Volunteer of the Year will be open to the entire community. It is important to take time to recognize these efforts and to encourage others to follow the examples shown by the nominees. The entire community benefits when excellence and dedication are appreciated.

When intolerance is allowed to flourish It was 71 years ago this week, on Jan. 27, 1945, that the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated. This camp should serve as a reminder of what can happen when intolerance is allowed to flourish. An estimated 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, were killed at Auschwitz between 1940 and 1945. They were among the 11 million people, including six million Jews, who were killed by Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime. Auschwitz, a collection of three main camps and several subcamps in what is now southern Poland, has come to symbolize the essence of Nazi Germany. These 11 million people were not casualties of the war itself. Instead, they were killed because of who they were — Jews, Romani, Soviet prisoners of war, communists, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses and others. The Nazi regime, for all its brutality,

From here

John Arendt was not the only time when segments of a population have been killed because of their race, ethnicity, political leanings, sexual orientations or religious beliefs. Other atrocities include the Armenian Genocide from 1915 to 1917, the Great Purge in the former Soviet Union from 1936 to 1938, the Bangladesh Genocide in 1971, the Cambodian Genocide of 1975 to 1979, the Bosnian Genocide from 1993 to 1995 and the Rwandan Genocide of 1994. Such actions happen when differences are not tolerated,

when conformity is valued above all else. Gregory Stanton, president of the U.S.-based Genocide Watch, has written a paper, The 10 Stages of Genocide, which shows how this division, if unchecked, can escalate. The document is available online at genocidewatch.org/genocide/tenstagesofgenocide.html. Genocide doesn’t begin with a government order to eliminate a segment of the population. Instead,

undesirable and eventually extermination — occur later, after the public has already identified an undesirable group. What concerns me is how easy it is to reach the first few levels in Scranton’s report. It isn’t hard to separate “us” from “them.” And from there, it isn’t hard to describe “them” as being immature, inferior, dangerous or evil. This happened in Europe in the 1930s

It isn’t hard to separate “us” from “them.” And from there, it isn’t hard to describe “them” as being immature, inferior, dangerous or evil. it begins when the population is divided into “us” and “them.” From there, it escalates with hate speech, discrimination and dehumanization. The more visible signs — organizing special forces, propaganda campaigns, persecution, separating those considered

and 1940s, and it continues to happen today, in many parts of the world, as certain groups are treated with suspicion or fear because of their ethnicity, religious beliefs, political leanings or sexual orientation. The seeds are planted each time diversity and differences are

discouraged. If the first stage in the creation of a genocide is to separate a population into groups of “us” and “them,” perhaps the best way to prevent a genocide is to bring these sides together. Get to know someone of a different ethnic or cultural group. Have coffee or dinner with someone whose religious belief or worldview is not the same as your own. Play hockey or baseball or watch a game with someone who does not share your political affiliations. The purpose of such interactions is not to discuss our differences. Instead, they should reinforce how much we have much in common. No matter where we differ and no matter how much we may disagree, we have more similarities than differences. In the end, there is no “them.” We are all “us.” John Arendt is the editor of the Summerland Review.

THE EARLY YEARS

CROWNS OR FILLINGS - WHICH IS A BETTER CHOICE?

rowns and fillings are both effective treatments we use to save teeth that have suffered decay. The better choice of the two will really depend on the severity of the decay Dr. Cindee Melashenko within the tooth.

A heavy harvest

Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum

There may still be snow on the ground, but don’t worry, we’re heading into February and on to spring. This photo was probably taken early in 1950 and little green plants may have just started to sprout in Don McLachlan’s greenhouse. At any rate, the crop of rocks beside the greenhouse was flourishing just fine. Don dealt with the situation by gathering the harvest and creating walls, walkways and raised flower beds on his property. It’s probably thanks to the McLachlans that Shopper’s Drug Mart parking lot is flat and smooth.

If a tooth has only minor decay, a filling is usually the best choice. A filling becomes necessary when a cavity develops; the decayed tooth matter must be removed in order to restore the health of the tooth. In addition, a tooth that has suffered significant wear may benefit from a filling. For many patients with cavities, fillings will be the proper treatment.

Garbage collection hours should change for winter Dear Editor: Should Summerland have different hours for the collection of garbage in winter and summer? I pose this question because of the change in days and hours for the pick up of my garbage. I was informed of the change of day but I was not informed of the change of time. Previously, my time for the pick up of garbage was from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., but never before 9 a.m. I have missed the garbage pick up twice now and so have 10 individual properties in my area. I phoned the garbage collection office to inquire what time the truck came by. I was told their schedule for this area started at 7 a.m.

I pointed out that the previous night of one pick up the weather had been at its worst. If I was to meet the scheduled time of 7 a.m. it would entail my being outside in a snowstorm, shovelling snow and snowbanks left by the municipal plough at 6:30 a.m. in darkness. Not forgetting my winter boots, toque and gloves. Unreasonable. I expected to receive a sympathetic ear, especially when I pointed out all the other properties which had also missed the garbage truck. I was told, “You were given notice to have your garbage ready on the curb at 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. I further asked that in light of all the properties which had missed the pickup, which I had previously count-

ed as 10, would the truck be returning to pick up from those properties. I was met with an emphatic no and a repeat of the readiness of garbage at the curb at 7 a.m. Is it acceptable that people of all ages, working or pensioners, be expected or forced to go out in the dark at 6:30 a.m. to get their garbage ready for pick up? In winter, many times the house occupant is faced with snow and snowbanks to clear before reaching the curb. In my opinion, winter collection hours for garbage and summer collection hours for garbage should be different. Lesley Price Summerland

Crowns are used to provide strength and stability to a weakened tooth. A tooth that has become vulnerable due to decay may not be able to support a filling, in which case it can be covered with a crown. If a decayed tooth has cracked or broken, I will likely recommend a crown to avoid extracting the tooth and instead preserve as much tooth structure as possible. Crowns are also usually placed after a root canal to ensure the tooth has the strength to stand up to chewing. In short, the right treatment will depend heavily on the patient’s individual case. Patients who are experiencing cavity-like symptoms should call our dentists as soon as possible for best results.

Holiday traditions differ in Toyokoro Happy New Year from Toyokoro, Japan! I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays this year. I spent my holidays and New Year in Malaysia and Singapore this year, which was amazing! I did however spend Christmas in Japan, which was extremely different than Christmas in Canada. First of all, Christmas is not a national holiday in Japan, only an observed holiday. Christmas Day in Japan is just like any other day; everyone was at work, includ-

ing me, and there was really no mention of the fact that it was Christmas at all. I brought in wrapped Christmas gifts for everyone in my office, which I think they really enjoyed. Over the past month, I have been asking many people in Toyokoro how they celebrate Christmas. The majority of people in Japan will eat Kentucky Fried Chicken for dinner on Christmas Day and for dessert they will have strawberry Christmas cake. The first time

NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROPERTY SALE The District of Summerland proposes to sell municipally-owned property at 9600 Victoria Road South (DL 439 PL EPP11901) to Bill Laidman at the independently appraised market value of $55,000.00, on the condition that it be rezoned M2 - Heavy Industrial, to correspond with adjacent properties. Inquiries regarding this proposed property disposal may be directed to Jeremy Denegar, Director of Corporate Services, 250-404-4046 jdenegar@summerland.ca.

someone told me they eat KFC for Christmas, I thought they were joking, but it is indeed true. There is such an overwhelming amount of people ordering KFC for Christmas that sometimes you need to pre-order your chicken weeks in advance. As for Christmas cake, it’s exactly like regular birthday cake, except it will have a Santa figurine on the top. Something that I found very surprising about Japanese Christmas traditions is that Christmas is not meant to be a time that is spent with your whole family. One of my Japanese friends told me that Christmas Eve is a time that you are supposed

to spend with your spouse or partner and then on Christmas Day you spend time with only your household family. There are not big family dinners with more than 20 people during the holidays like there is in Canada. I think that one of the reasons for this is that Japanese houses are very small and would not be able to accommodate that many people. While Christmas may not be a big deal in Japan, New Year’s is! New Year’s is a time that Japanese people will spend time with their whole family. At midnight families will travel to their local shrine and bring welcome and

thanks to their god. They will also receive a New Year’s fortune at the shrine, which will show all of their luck or misfortune for the year to come. New Year’s is a much bigger occasion in Japan than Canada. There are many ceremonies during the first week of the New Year and all people will bow and say Happy New Year to every individual person in their office or place of work. New Year ’s appears to be one of the most important holidays in the Japanese culture. It has been seven months since I arrived in Japan, but my teaching contract will be finished in July 2016.

Everyone can make soup. A pot of soup can take 30 minutes, or it can take all day to make. Soup can simply be a tasty broth, a thick melange of meat and vegetables, or a mixture of your favourite vegetables and beans or barley or it can be a delicious corn or seafood chowder. (I will take this chance to remind you of the delicious smoked salmon chowder from The Sobo Cookbook that I mentioned in a previous article.)

I find making soup a relaxing time in the kitchen. Soup is comfort food. We enjoy soup for lunch on the weekends, and soup for dinner during the week. I grow a garden in the summer, so in the fall there is always soup cooking from the riches of squash and tomatoes we inevitably grow. The Soup Sisters Cookbook has a wealth of recipes for soup lovers. There is a wonderful Butternut Squash and Apple soup and a

Thai Coconut Squash recipe that I highly recommend. I love squash and the combination of squash and coconut milk is fresh and delicious. Our garden, like so many Okanagan gardens, grows an abundance tomatoes. I deliver boxes of tomatoes to our neighbour in the late summer as we cannot possibly keep up with them. The Soup Sister’s Cookbook has a wonderful Roasted Heirloom Tomato Soup in it. Top that soup

Dianne Broadbent off with mini grilled cheese croutons and fresh Basil (also from the garden) and you’ve got another fresh healthy meal. One of my favourite soups is from the Rebar Modern Food Cookbook. I always feel healthier after eating the Greek Red Lentil Soup with Lemon, Rosemary and Feta. I love lentils, I love lemon and I love Feta so needless to say this soup is one of my all-time favorites. The combinations of ingredients for soup are endless, as are the toppings for soup. Grated parmesan, toasted croutons, fresh herbs, roasted pumpkin seeds, diced avocado, pico de gallo are just a few. A current soup

trend is Bone Broth. According to researchers, bone broth has numerous health benefits. Bone Broth is said to work as an anti-inflammatory, it helps with digestion and promotes healthy skin, hair and nails. To read more on the health benefits of bone broth, check out Healing Bone Broth Recipes: Incredibly Flavorful Dishes that Nourish Your Body the Old-fashioned by Sharon Brown. Soup is an edible story, as in Stone Soup, the folk tale by Marcia Brown about three hungry soldiers come to a town where all the food has been hidden. They set out to make soup of water and stones and in the end all of the town enjoy a feast. Come to the library and take home one of the numerous soup cookbooks we have and enjoy a simmering pot of goodness this weekend with your family and friends. Dianne Broadbent is an assistant community Librarian at the Summerland Branch and a soup chef.

Model railway shows Summerland’s past Carla McLeod Special to the Review

Every Thursday evening, a group of five men meet in the upper room of the Summerland Museum. They are there to do the weekly maintenance on the HO scale model railway. They call themselves the Giant’s Head Model Railway Club. “We keep this thing running,” said Neil Trainer. “It’s a lot of fun and you don’t see many of them around anymore. We like to play trains.” “If there is something wrong we fix it,” explained Dick Ortner. Ortner is the only club member who was involved in building this model railroad back in 1997. The project was done in celebration of the new millennium. A federal government grant was received in the amount of $4,033, from the Canada Millennium Partnership Program. Pointing to a memory board on the wall Ortner said, “This guy here was one of the most talented men you could meet. Bill Haddow. He was the master craftsman. Bernie Saunders explained the process that was used to build the base for the model. “You use sticks of wood and lay screen over them and staple it on. Then you get tile grout and mix it into a sloppy mess and soak rags in it. Then you lay the rags over the screen. When it’s dry it is very light and you paint it. The focal point of the scene is Giant’s Head Mountain with the town of Summerland below. The scene spreads out to the Trout Creek Trestle, Prairie Valley and the lakeshores of Lower Town. The actual view of the lake and mountains around Summerland has been painted on the wall and was done by members of the Summerland Art Club. Miniature buildings depict many historical landmarks in Summerland, some of which are still standing, such as the Anglican Church and the Bank of Montreal. Others that have long since disappeared include the House on the Hill, the old train sStation, Hardy’s Texaco, Manning Lumber and MacDonald School. There are real rock walls built into the model, with miniature trees made from wire and unravelled twine. Dried weeds sprayed green are scattered throughout the landscape with wires hanging above made from elastic thread. The scene is complete with intricate details featuring people, animals and vehicles. The tracks on which the model trains run, are laid down throughout, and depict the Kettle Valley Rail line. “The railroad never actually came downtown, so we exercised artistic licence,” explained Ron Rosher. “We replicated it to the 1950s. This allowed us to run steam engines, but it also

allowed us to run diesel engines too, because they were coming into use then.” In addition to “playing trains” the club members spend their time doing routine maintenance each week. The tracks are cleaned by hand using a rag and cleaning solution. “Sometimes we have problems with the track layout or an electrical issue and we try and see if we can trace its origin,” explained Hans Vandermey. This can present some challenges for the club members, because of the maze of wires hidden underneath the model itself. “When it was built there were different people volunteering and working on it and there was no clear direction as far as the wiring was concerned,” said Vandermey. “It is very difficult to know what wire leads to where because they are not colour coded.” It seems there is more than the maintenance of the model railway that keeps this club active though. “I have my own railroad at home in my garage. This is just an extension of that,” said Saunders. “To get together with people of like interest, that’s the main thing.” “My first train set was one that went around the Christmas tree,” said Vandermey. “I was quite intrigued with model rail-

ways and that brought me here.” “I had a model railway when I was a kid, right through high school and the first couple years of university,” said Rosher. “It’s something that I enjoy and the camaraderie is really nice. We would

really like to make sure that this railway is available as part of the museum.” If you are a model railway enthusiast and would like to learn more about this club you can call Dick Ortner at 250-4941982 or Ron Rosher at 250-494-3171.

You want these musicians to know that the people of Summerland appreciate what they’re doing and want them to do well. The second thing about this that is really great is that all three bands are either local, or have a Summerland connection.

Then there’s Lucy Blu and the Blu Boys, who are based out of Kelowna, but her drummer is from Summerland. Lucy Blu is an act I’ve been dying to see for a while.

Douglas Paton her drummer — if you’ve ever tried to find a good drummer, you’ll know they are few and far between. Rounding off the night is Forever Young, Kevin Foley’s long running Neil Young cover band who just keeps getting better. I really can’t encourage enough people to get out there and check this out especially if you’d like to see more events like this happen in Summerland. A little live music goes a long way to brightening up a

community and putting a little bounce in your step, especially in the winter time. The show gets started at 8 p.m. If music isn’t your thing, but you enjoy a night of performances, I’d like to again remind people about Summerland Speaks, also taking place on Saturday, Jan. 30, at the IOOF hall on Main Street. This is a night of readings and other entertainment from a group of Summerland writers, who are always an entertaining group to watch and listen to. The action starts at 7 p.m. and there’s a cover charge. Now that you know what’s going on this weekend, get out there and support Summerland talent. Douglas Paton is a Summerland writer and musician. If you know of a local arts and culture event, contact him at dgpaton80@gmail.com.

A few columns back I mentioned that there would live music coming up soon here in Summerland. I also mentioned that musicians love this time of year because the fact that it’s cold, wet and dreary means people are looking for just about any excuse to get out and do something. Well, a group of local musicians have taken that to heart and organized a show for the people of Summerland. On Saturday, Jan. 30, the Peacock’s Perch Neighbourhood Pub will be hosting Saturday Night “LIVE” starting at 8 p.m. There are a few things about this show that’s just fantastic. First and foremost, it’s free. There’s no cover charge to get in, which is a great way to encourage people to get out and see music — although

will be playing a handcrafted replica of a lute built in 1592. The lute, with its distinctive bowl shape, angled tuning peg box and elaborately carved rose possesses a softer and more delicate sound than a guitar. The group will be joined by Walsh on the cello for many of the selections, including Handel, Vivaldi, Mozart and Bach. The Summerland concert will be held on Friday, Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, 9311 Prairie

MARGARET GERTRUDE DUNSDON 1915-2016

Margaret passed away peacefully in Summerland, BC on January 19, 2016 at the age of 100. She was born April 20, 1915, the eldest of 11 children, to Jacob and Mary Morhart in Spring Valley, SK. As a young woman, Margaret moved to Naramata, BC where she worked as a nanny for several years before settling in Summerland, BC, taking employment as a cook at Mack’s Cafe and the old Summerland Hospital. It was here that she met and married Ted Dunsdon and together raised a family of 5 children in Garnet Valley. She is survived by her 5 children: Richard (Marlene), Betty (Jack) Jolie, Louise (Andy) Thomsen, Robert (Viola) and David (Liz); her brother Wesley and sister Madge Mills; 12 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren. Margaret was a past member of the Rebekah Lodge, Summerland Pleasure Painters and the Women’s Institute. She loved her gardening and tending her flowers. At Christmas, homemade bread and buns were delivered to families who she felt would enjoy them. Mom spent many years crafting her hobby of knitting. It brought her such joy to see countless boxes of toques, mittens, scarves and baby outfits find their way into schools and orphanages across Northern Canada and other countries around the world. She also knitted preemie hats for hospitals in BC and at Christmastime, every church in Summerland received a box of her knitted goods for their Christmas bazaars. One way or another, Mom was determined to make her way to heaven. The family wishes to thank all the staff at Dr. Andrew Pavillion for the excellent care they provided to Mom during her stay. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In Margaret’s honor, a donation can be made to a charity of your choice. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com (250) 494-7752

Summerland Review Thursday, January 28, 2016

This is your province on weed With unlicensed marijuana dispensaries popping up in urban areas and thousands of unregulated medical licences for home growing still in legal limbo, the Trudeau government is starting work on its promise to legalize recreational use. Marijuana was a media darling in the recent election, but meeting in Vancouver with provincial ministers last week, federal Health Minister Jane Philpott found herself preoccupied with issues deemed more urgent. These include shifting our post-war acute hospital model to community primary care, tackling aboriginal health care needs, pooling pharmaceutical purchases to slow rising costs, and meeting an urgent Supreme Court of Canada directive to legalize assisted dying. At the closing news conference in Vancouver, Philpott was asked how recreational marijuana should be sold. Licensed medical growers want exclusive rights do it

by mail as permitted by the Harper government, another measure forced by our high court. That would shut out the rash of supposedly medical storefronts, which city halls in Vancouver and elsewhere imagine they can regulate. Philpott said the question is “premature” and federalprovincial justice ministers were dealing with it at their meeting. Ottawa will have a “task force” too. Vancouver descended into a pot store free-for-all due to benign neglect from council and police, and Victoria isn’t far behind. Vancouver Coun. Kerry Jang, a rare voice of reason in the Big Smoke, has protested dispensaries using street hawkers to attract young buyers, and pot stores setting up near schools. Other communities, more aware of their limitations, have resisted issuing business licences. One recent proposal in the Victoria suburb of View Royal came from a fellow who

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher insisted marijuana extract had cured his cancer. This is typical of claims that proliferate on the Internet, and is one of many warning signs about dispensaries that put up red cross signs to sell pot products with exotic names. B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake was more forthcoming a few days earlier, responding to a Vancouver reporter who judged marijuana more interesting than his just-announced plan to hire 1,600 more nurses by the end of March. Lake noted that Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is keen to sell marijuana through the

province’s monopoly liquor stores. B.C.’s government liquor store union has also endorsed this idea, forming an unlikely alliance with nonunion private stores to get in on the action. “There are public health officials that I’ve talked to who say that the co-location of marijuana and liquor sales is not advisable from a public health perspective,” Lake said. “I think whatever we do it has to be highly regulated, quality control has to be excellent and above all we must protect young people.” Yes, liquor stores check ID. But the notion that marijuana might be sold next to beer and vodka in government stores deserves sober second thought, and serious scientific work of the kind that has shown damage to developing brains from teenage marijuana use. Of course all of this urban hand-wringing over pot stores ignores the de facto legalization that has existed across B.C. for decades. The Nelson Star had a story last week about a local woman’s dis-

covery on Google Earth. Zooming in on area mountains, one finds not only the Purcell landmark Loki Peak, but also Weed Peak, Grow Op Peak, Cannabis Peak and Hydroponic Peak. Whatever the source

of this cyber-prank, it could also be applied to other regions of B.C. For the record, I’ll restate my longstanding position that legalization is the only logical answer. I’ll say the same about other drugs that drive

most B.C. crime, but that’s a subject for another day. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Email: tfletcher@ blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc
