❚ HEALTH CARE

IHA executives meet with residents KARL YU Gazette Editor

The long-awaited meeting between Interior Health Authority (IHA) officials and Grand Forks residents took place last Wednesday with CEO Dr. Robert Halpenny and board chair Norman Embree in attendance.

Questions were submitted in advance and topics ranged from Rod Gustafson’s Broadacres Care Facility to Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) testing.

Christine Thompson, chair of the Concerned Citizens for Community Health Care, spoke on behalf of the local group.

The topic of Rod Gustafson’s Broadacres Care Facility on Carson Road has been one many are

passionate about. Gustafson, a former registered nurse, invested a lot to renovate the facility and received licence but was passed over in a request for proposals for senior care beds in April 2011.

Golden Life Management was awarded the contract and is currently building Silver Kettle Village near Dick Bartlett Park.

When asked by Thompson if he had the chance to tour the facility yet, Halpenny said that he had not.

“It’s a private facility, it was built with private funds, there was never a commitment by Interior Health that it would be supported and the process we go through with the new beds is an open and fair process,” he said. “Unfortunately, that particular facility didn’t meet up with the standards that we required.”

Given the nature of mill fires in Prince George and Burns Lake, there was concern when a fire broke out at the International Forest Products Limited (Interfor) mill last week.

Grand Forks Fire Rescue responded to the fire at Grand Forks’ Interfor mill at around 5:45 p.m. on May 22 but fortunately, the fire was quickly contained.

“It (was) a fire in our shavings bin,” explained Andrew Horahan, Interfor’s general manager of Kootenays on May 22. “It was contained within a steel bin. Luckily the fire department seems to have it put out.”

“It appears as if it was caused by (mechanical) friction in the bin,” Horahan would later say.

Grand Forks Fire Rescue Chief Dale Heriot said that when they arrived on scene, there was a fullblown fire on the east half of the bin but confirmed that the fire was contained within the shavings bin.

“As we got on scene, we put the monitor from the ladder on it and some hand lines and got it cooled

down enough so we could get up top and put some water in from the lids up top,” Heriot said.

“We suspect the surface layer of the sawdust was burning and as we dumped the sawdust out, we just wet it to make sure there were no embers left to light the pile on fire.”

While the Prince George and Burns Lake fires were tragic, Grand Forks’ fire chief said the May 22 fire wasn’t as dangerous, although there was potential for more damage.

“The danger level wasn’t as high as some other fires, mostly because it was in a metal bin that was isolated and also isolated away from the plant,” Heriot explained, adding that it was a mid-level fire and if the fire protection system in the blower pipes failed and had the blower system not been shut down, there was a chance that the fire could’ve spread to other areas of the plant.

Horahan said the Grand Forks mill had been working hard to remove all accumulated sawdust, as per a recent WorkSafeBC edict.

“WorkSafe inspected our facility and Grand Forks was found to be in complete compliance on the first visit,” he explained.

NEWS

IHA meets with locals

Interior Health Authority CEO Dr. Robert Halpenny (right) attended a meeting last Wednesday with Grand Forks residents to discuss health care concerns.

KARL YU PHOTO

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

When a question regarding waiting lists for seniors in the Boundary area requiring residential/complex care and available beds was asked, Halpenny said that seniors had a choice.

“The system is set up such that people have a choice as to where they want to reside in their retirement years in residential care. You can have someone from Kelowna who decides they want to live in Grand Forks or from Vancouver,” explained Halpenny.

“The issue is trying to get people to the first available bed and then their choice, so the opening of the new beds, you will have a complement of beds in this community that’s equal to the rest of the Kootenays.”

Thompson made a presentation to Halpenny and Embree while a city councillor at last year’s Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conference and asked about the return of nine acute care beds at Boundary Hospital, which are temporarily being used for residential care.

“Will they be returned for use by our doctors needing them for seriously ill patients?” she asked.

“With the temporary beds, we actually did change our bed count from 12 to 11,” explained Ingrid Hampf, IHA Kootenay Boundary acute area director. “When Silver Kettle Village opens we will restore that (area where the beds are) back to acute care, our bed count will go back to 12.” Hampf estimated that should happen by the fall.

A number of STI clinics closed on Dec. 31 and a release from IHA said that 90 per cent of STI testing was being done by physicians and walkin clinics.

The move caught a number of people by surprise and Thompson said that the move appeared to be something in the IHA area only and not something mandated by the Ministry of Health.

She asked how IHA had engaged the public and stakeholders in dialogue regarding the change.

“I think the first thing you expect of us is to use our resources as efficiently and effectively as we can,” Halpenny said. “When we went back and looked – and we’ve been looking at this for two years – we looked at where the testing was being done, and the testing for those particular cases, by far the majority, were being done in clinics or physicians offices.

“Only one per cent of the testing was being done in the public health office, so to use our public health nurses more efficiently, we made the decision that we would go the way the public was going and the public is going either to their physicians’ offices or to the clinic. We were trying to make sure we used our resources appropriately,” he said.

Thompson reviewed the IHA financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011 and said that a total of $297,014 was paid to directors and

consisted of $92,208 for retainers, $151,559 for meeting fees and $53,247 for expenses. Thompson said there didn’t appear to be consistency between each director, the number of meetings attended and the per meeting fee – she sought clarification.

“Chairs of our committees, we have four, receive a little more than others because they have to do a lot of prep work,” explained Embree. “As chair of the board myself, I get a little more because there’s a lot more I have to do for preparation work for meetings, meeting with the minister or whatever. So that’s one of the variables.”

Thompson said that on average, for that year, there were 335 meetings that Embree attended and with the $151,559, that averaged out to $452 per meeting.

“One of the things is, is that there are some meetings that take all day, some half a day, it depends what’s happening. Some take an hour, some of our members drive six hours to attend a meeting for two hours for instance,” he said.

“There are a lot of variables.”

“The fees are set provincially,” said Halpenny.

“We don’t make these up.”

Jamie Braman – IHA’s strategic initiatives coordinator for the office of the president and CEO – said that the provincial government set the rates for all Crown agencies, including health authorities, and paid on a level based on the complexity of the organization.

As witnessed by the number of people attending the meeting, citizens are concerned about local health care and the fact they rarely have a chance to comment on changes affecting health care. When asked if IHA would consider implementing a local advisory panel consisting of members from all areas served by Boundary Hospital, that could meet with IHA executives via video on a quarterly basis, Halpenny didn’t seem to think that was the way to go.

“We’re looking at setting up a system where we can have local community folks funneling through their elected (officials) through to us,” he said.

Thompson said that wasn’t a good idea. “People are going to be dealing with front-end staff.

They’re not necessarily going to be going to the elected official and that’s going to put a real burden on the people,” she said.

“The structure is set up, as the CEO, I have a number of (vice-presidents) VPs and I delegate the responsibility to each one of those VPs. I don’t make every decision and we try to make decisions collaboratively across the senior executive,” Halpenny said.

When Thompson asked if an advisory panel, that could meet with Hampf and the VP, could be set up, Halpenny said that he couldn’t comment because IHA had a responsibility to work with elected officials.

“Let’s carry that conservation on later,” Halpenny said.

❚ Our View

More dialogue with IHA executives needed The meeting with Interior Health Authority (IHA) officials in Grand Forks finally took place last week at Boundary Hospital.

IHA CEO Dr. Robert Halpenny, board chair Norman Embree, IHA Kootenay Boundary acute area director Ingrid Hampf and Vice President Acute Services Corporate Administration Allan Sinclair held a 30-minute meeting and took questions from residents.

An interesting concept was brought up by Christine Thompson, chair of the local group Concerned Citizens for Community Health Care.

Not everyone attending the meeting was satisfied with the answers to some of the questions – and not all questions were answered as a matter of fact – and the executives are busy people with the IHA covering a big area but what if an advisory panel was set up consisting of members from all areas served by Grand Forks’ Boundary Hospital?

The panel could meet via video four times a year and discuss concerns with Halpenny, Embree etc.

Halpenny didn’t seem too keen on the idea and seemed to favour a system which would see people going to their elected officials, which would be passing the buck.

If someone has issues with their car’s engine, they don’t go to the local car parts store to see what the problems are, they go to their mechanic.

Mike de Jong is the province’s health minister but he might not have insight into the local problems and if residents with concerns went to city councillors or BoundarySimilkameen MLA John Slater, there would still be layers of red tape they would have to cut through to get things done. Thompson said, rightly so, that adding health care to an elected officials’ plate is a burden that they don’t need.

People are concerned about health care in the area, as witnessed by turnouts, not only last week, but in the past to health care-related meetings and even letters to the editor. Local residents need an outlet to express their concerns and waiting for the few times that the IHA executives come to Grand Forks isn’t going to cut it.

At the same time, expecting Dr. Halpenny and Embree to come to Grand Forks four times a year would be asking too much as well, since they have a large area to cover, making the video conference ideal.

When a suggestion to hold the meetings with people like Hampf was suggested Halpenny didn’t seem as against it but said to carry the conversation to a later date.

The idea should be given more serious consideration, not just for Grand Forks but other areas that IHA serves as well.

No middle of road for middle school As May turns into June, there has been a lot of discussion about some touchy topics in town.

From health care to the concept of middle schools, there have been supporters and detractors.

Though health care is indeed a large issue, my focus was primarily on the concerns of some parents about the changes to the school district and the possibility of a middle school.

Growing up in Surrey, B.C., when I attended school, the only concept I was aware of was elementary school from Grades 1 to 7, then high school Grades 8 to 12 – you know, where the big kids went.

There was no in between.

In Grade 3, I remember being in a Grade 3/4 split class.

In my then seven-year-old mind, I recall thinking it was “cool” that we had older students in the same class as me, albeit by one year.

Looking back, while there isn’t

a big difference in the criteria for younger students, there were downsides to having two supposedly different grades in the same classroom.

When I moved to Mississauga, Ont. at the tender age of 10, I entered Grade 6 and learned high school didn’t start until Grade 9.

For whatever reason, I was thinking at the time, I was grateful for that extra year away from the big kids’ school.

My support for middle school is primarily based on the fundamental needs of a student. Academics are important, but for all that I was a Grade A student, the integration and societal interactions between students was what

I remember best.

My closest friends were made in middle school.

No matter how many years have passed, or how far away we are, those bonds will remain.

They were developed in between classes during recess and nourished through group projects.

There are parents who are concerned about the lengthened day and the re-arrangement of timetables, amongst other items, and that’s understandable. But for me, that extra 30 minutes of school was full of knowledge and fun.

That extra time added to the school day is also great in helping students transition from elementary/middle school to high school Children are resilient, curious and given the right environment, can become engaging citizens interested in the community and the people in it.

Why would you steal from the fire dept.?

Editor: Christina Lake has had a very slow spring season so far.

Flooding concerns have not amounted to anything we expected, bush fires from burning have resulted in no calls for this department, unlike what has been seen in Grand Forks.

All in all, we have had a slow spring season to date.

We were very disheartened by the fact that we sold the old Dodge fire engine to a local resident and while it was parked outside the fire hall, someone stole the two batteries!

Who would steal batteries out of a fire engine? I suppose this is a wake up call for local residents to keep things secure.

If someone would stoop to steal batteries out of an emergency vehicle I wonder how far they would go?

Ken Gresley-Jones, Fire Chief, Christina Lake

❚ UTILITIES

Equality amongst Sion Water users Editor: My Sion Irrigation water has not been turned on yet this year because I made improvements to my water line.

I have been told that I need a reverse flow valve (RFV) installed before my water will be on. I will still pay $700 water taxes whether I use water or not. The valve will be another $300 to $700.

I feel that this is not only a dirty trick but an uneducated practice.

Sion will turn your water off so you can make improvements but won’t turn it back on, ‘til you install a reverse flow valve.

I am in favour of water safety. We have all heard of what can happen to a community that has unsafe practices regarding clean water.

I drove around the neighbourhood and saw many hydrants with only a ball valve,

and their water has been turned on.

I also made phone calls to various Sion water users and their water has been turned on, with no request to have a RFV. My concern is, how do you expect 100 per cent safety with clean water if there is a discrimination as to who needs a valve and who doesn’t?

How does the bailiff decide?

Part of my water taxes ($120 a year, for the next 10 years) is for another area, so they can have a well built.

Water that we will not be using in this district.

I would like to see a similar financial practice used for installing RFVs in this district, to everyone’s water lines and really have 100 per cent safety.

The ignorant practices of dictatorship need to be challenged and brought up to modern times, if we really want 100 per cent.

❚ POLITICS

The things the B.C. Liberals do Editor: As the B.C. Liberal ship quickly sinks into the deep blue, Gordie (Campbell), over in England, is probably laughing all the way to his next cocktail party.

Keep in mind Gordie’s cushy job, limo included, was awarded to him by PM Stevie Harper as a reward for his complicity on the HST. My condolences to those one-term Liberal MLAs who, after their defeat next election, will not be eligible for a generous pension.

Some Liberal MLAs have already abandoned the sinking ship while others will leave before the next election.

Other MLAs will retire and live well on their taxpayerfunded pension, not daring to run for re-election.

This week, it was revealed that one of the favourite companies in the running for operating the governments new and improved liquor distribution system is headed by a “Christie Clark advisor.” It is rumoured the price of booze will increase.

This kind of government corruption must come to an end.

The government refused to comment on this situation. We pay their salary and are entitled to an explanation.

❚ VETERAN AFFAIRS

Dissing war veterans Editor: At the same time that Department of National Defence has admitted that the numbers of suicide incidents in the Canadian Forces have risen, how is it possible that the department is eliminating the jobs of medical professionals involved in suicide prevention and monitoring of post-traumatic stress disorders?

They are actually reducing the number of epidemiologists and researchers who analyze mental health issues.

This government has previously asserted that dealing with such health issues is a priority.

How can the government announce on the one hand that it appreciates the sacrifices made by our veterans and then turn around and cut the services and research efforts needed to treat those same men and women, at a time when they need it most?

The Royal Canadian Legion is extremely concerned with this move, especially with the increase of suicide incidents in the Canadian Forces. The full extent of the cases of mental illness, arising from the heavy operational tempo in the Balkans and Afghanistan, has not likely been felt yet.

The government and Canadians have sent these men and women to deploy and serve in these missions abroad and therefore have a moral obligation to ensure they are properly cared for once they return.

The announced cuts give the government a failing grade.

Without operational research in this area, Canada will be forced to resort to reactive treatment while abandoning the proactive education and prevention of mental illness to our troops.

It is unacceptable that these cuts be made on the backs of our most vulnerable and mentally ill soldiers, sailors, airmen and airwomen. There is no better way to demonstrate their commitment to support the men and women who serve their country than by not making these cuts.

Patricia Varga, Dominion President The Royal Canadian Legion

Take ownership and report vandalism Christina Lake is fortunate to have some very nice community-minded citizens and volunteers.

We have many that truly understand what our comGRACE McGREGOR munity has to offer and what our lifestyle would cost in other parts of Canada.

We also, unfortunately, have some who leave the above at home, when it’s time to make decisions and therefore, make some very poor ones.

Maybe it’s the processing that gets in the way or maybe it’s the influence of happy-inducing liquid or other substances or maybe it’s just that it’s all in the name of having fun. Now fun is something we all like to have occasionally and at times, I am sure that we have all made some poor decisions.

All that being said I know that I had to “pay the piper” one way or another if I got into mischief because someone always managed to tell on me.

OK, here’s what I’m getting at.

The park attendants arrived on Mother’s Day weekend to get the south end of Christina Lake Provincial Park ready for the upcoming triathlon and all those summer residents who come to enjoy the lake, experience our community and bring their wallets, thus adding to our economy.

When the attendants went down to paint the tables, clean the change rooms and cut the grass, they discovered the beach a disgusting mess.

Someone had pushed a couple of barriers aside, roared their vehicles up and down the beach and had a huge campfire – glass and bottles were strewn everywhere.

Somewhere out there, someone knows something about this.

It is difficult for our small community to be the centre of attention July and August and for all of us to try to keep people safe, while understanding that fun happens and is part of the experience.

We tend often to blame the summer people for the wild unrest that sometimes assails our little village. Has the summer started early or are we faced with some locals who didn’t process decision making very well?

We need help from all age groups to keep this community and others safe. The Citizens on Patrol try to do that along with our summer RCMP officer and numerous others who care.

How much fun is it if parents bring their children to the beach only to have them injured by buried glass in the sand?

Or think of the young people having a volleyball game at the park and what might happen then?

I appeal to everyone out there, if you see this behavior, stand up for your community and report it.

Further to this incident, my husband and I were camping off of Highway 33 at Trapping Creek last weekend because we needed to go in and out of Kelowna.

While sitting outside, enjoying the river and beautiful weather, some youngsters in a red and white pickup truck went across the bridge at high speed and roared up the gravel road. It wasn’t long before they returned, stopped on the bridge, looked down at us sitting outside then put the pedal to the floor and waved; we waved back coughing as the dust surrounded us. Fun eh? The same day we rescued a very friendly hurt blonde dog that had been attacked – we drove him all the way back to Grand Forks to the vet.

I also cleaned off the Trapping Creek sign. Someone thought it would be fun to throw mud at it and we helped a young man find his friends.

We all need to do our share to support a sense of community within our communities and it shouldn’t matter if we live there or are visiting. In comparison to the Vancouver Stanley Cup riot, these incidents may seem small, it is however, indicative of the type of behavior that leads to larger and even more serious trouble.

SD51, public discuss district redesign

It’s always

Summertime at

Mariposa’s Left: Board chair Teresa Rezansoff explains the decision for contemplating creating a middle school in Grand Forks and Midway at the District Design forum on May 23. Right: Superintendent of Schools Michael Strukoff showing the declining student enrollment.

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

School District 51 (SD51) held a District Design 2013 forum to discuss the possibility of re-designing the school district at Perley Elementary School on May 23.

The second of four forums, board trustees and staff addressed parents and concerned residents about the upcoming problems that the school board will face in the future, including declining funds and shifting enrolment.

Board chair Teresa Rezansoff explained that this was a consultation process and no decisions would be made immediately.

“In the beginning, it was about our budget in January,” she explained. “For the first time when we looked at our budget, we knew with a certainty what our budget would be for the next three years.”

The school board anticipates the loss of $230,000 a year over the next three years as the provincial government reduces funding.

Rezansoff also stressed that these discussions were not about closing schools or about eliminating teacher or staff positions, but to make sure students receive the best they can so they can succeed in the future.

“If the present trend continues, we could be facing larger class sizes, more grade class splits, less options for secondary school students and the loss of specialty teachers,” she said.

Part of the discussion included the retirement of Superintendent of Schools Michael Strukoff, Director of Instruction Maxine Ruzicka and Boundary Central Secondary School principal Louise Bayles.

Another reason is the implementation of the B.C. Education Plan, which focuses on five elements: personalized learning for every student, quality teaching and learning, flexibility and choice, high standards, and learning empowered by technology.

The school board explained that the idea of creating a middle school is to address the declining enrollment.

There are currently 1,422 students enrolled in SD51, with 827 elementary students and 595 secondary students.

Since 2001-2002, when there were 2,030 students enrolled,

there has been a 32 per cent drop in student enrolment, explained Strukoff.

“Over that time frame you can see the drop we’ve experienced,” he added. “There have been changes related to the economy, from bankruptcies, closures to the sawmill, and low birth rate across the province.”

Projections three years out in 2014-2015 show a student enrolment of 1,285.

Unlike the reception at Christina Lake, where residents were against the idea of a middle school structure, residents in Grand Forks seem open to the idea.

Parents were still concerned about the lengthened school hours for the students who would be entering middle school, and the length of time students would spend on the bus.

The middle school hours would be extended by 30 minutes to reflect the high school hours. This will enable students at the middle school to take specialty courses like woodworking or home economics at the high school.

Perley Elementary School in Grand Forks and Midway Elementary School in the West Boundary would be converted to middle schools covering Grades 6 to 8.

Hutton Elementary School would go from a Kindergarten to Grade 7 school to a Kindergarten to Grade 5 school.

Grand Forks Secondary School would become a Grade 9 to 12 school.

SD51 has two more meetings that will occur in the West Boundary communities. There will be a meeting at Greenwood Elementary School on Wednesday, May 30 at 6:30 p.m., and the final meeting at West Boundary Elementary School on Tuesday, June 5 at 6:30 p.m.

The consultation process will continue before a preliminary report will be reviewed in the fall. Once the board decides which direction they want, school board staff will prepare a budget reflecting the changes before seeking further consultation from the communities.

Any decision would not be considered or implemented before September 2013.

Surveys and slides can be found on the SD51’s website at sd51.bc.ca.

The Interior Health Authority (IHA) has announced that Grand Forks’ Boundary Hospital will have a heliport built.

Boundary-Similkameen MLA John Slater, IHA Board Chair Norman Embree and CEO Dr. Robert Halpenny made the announcement on May 23.

The heliport is projected to be complete by the spring of 2013.

IHA said that the new heliport would be utilized by Kamloops-based emergency helicopter BC Ambulance Services to serve B.C. Southern Interior residents.

It also said that the heliport will assist in quicker response times for emergencies and a request for proposals (RFP) was issued for the planning and design of the heliport.

“Planning and design work is expected to get underway later this year, bringing the heliport that much closer to reality,” said Embree in a release.

IHA also said that the construction of the heliport was possible thanks to donations from the Clifton family, which has donated a total of $150,000 to Boundary Hospital.

“I’d like to personally thank the Clifton family for their community commitment. Their generosity helps us ensure that patients who need to move to higher levels of care get there quickly and safely,” Embree said.

Ingrid Hampf, IHA Acute Area Director Kootenay Boundary, noted that the heliport will be a great benefit for critical patients.

“We won’t have to transfer them from the hospital, via ambulance, to the airport then into the helicopter,” she said. “This way we can bring them directly out and the transfer will be much quicker. With a heliport being built at Kelowna (General) Hospital, it will mean a hospital-to-

hospital transfer.”

Kelowna General Hospital is currently constructing a new wing that will have a heliport built on its roof as well.

Jeff Olsen, unit chief for Grand Forks Ambulance Services, agreed and said it coincides well with the launch of B.C. Ambulance Service’s Autolaunch program on Sunday, May 27.

The Autolaunch program dispatches ground and air ambulances for specific, pre-determined emergency calls based on a patient’s condition.

“Along with a ground ambulance, a helicopter will be dispatched to land at the hospital, using heliports such as this one, or land on scene responses such as highways or schools, wherever the trauma has occurred,” explained Olsen.

“There’s a non-refusal policy that the helicopter can take those patients to receiving hospitals without getting in discussions whether there is an available bed. Patients who are picked up will see a trauma team as fast as anybody could.”

The Autolaunch program was built and created on Vancouver Island eight years ago, and has since been operated out of the Lower Mainland.

With the service set in place in Kamloops, the program is now available to Grand Forks and the Kootenay Boundary area.

“Let’s say there’s a bad accident on the Paulson. A helicopter will start flying the same time an ambulance will leave to attend the accident,” Olsen said. “By the time we arrive back at the hospital, the helicopter will be waiting here for us. Or, if the patient is trapped or it’s a difficult extrication, the helicopter will land right on the Paulson, pick up the patient and bring the patient straight to Kelowna.”

Less time spent transferring patients will be a great benefit, he added “I’m just really happy to see this and it’s money really well spent,” Olsen concluded. “It’s going to make a significant difference to the people living here.”

❚ CITY COUNCIL

City discusses marijuana policy KARL YU Gazette Editor

The polarizing topic of marijuana is once again before Grand Forks’ city council.

At Monday’s primary committee meeting, council accepted correspondence in the form of a letter from eight B.C. mayors, including Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. The letter, which was addressed to Premier Christy Clark and the leaders of the provincial NDP (Adrian Dix) and Conservatives (John Cummins), said that there needed to be, “a more effective, evidence-based approach to controlling marijuana.”

The letter raised concerns about criminal activity because of marijuana and asked the provincial leaders to “take a new approach to marijuana regulation.”

“I am hoping that I can have some kind of feeling as to where council is with this matter of the letter and our support for it in going to FCM (Federation of Canadian Municipalities),” explained Grand Forks’ Mayor Brian Taylor.

“What I’m not assuming is that there would be a decision here this evening on this matter and I would expect that that could be at a later date,” Taylor said.

Citing conversations with other elected officials, Taylor said that it seemed that illegal growers were moving out to rural areas of B.C. and setting up large-scale grow-ops, with some carrying firearms.

“What’s happening in the Slocan Valley right now is competition between Hells Angels and other gangs,” Taylor explained. “This is typical of what’s happening throughout British Colum-

bia.” Because of pressure from law enforcement in larger municipal areas, people wanting to set up illegal grow-ops were looking to areas like Grand Forks.

“There’s clearly a danger to our community,” said Taylor.

“I have to say, having read the letter and with my mother having passed away from cancer and would’ve benefitted from medical marijuana, I agree in principal that something has to be done about this on so many levels, for so many reasons,” explained Coun. Gary Smith. “I agree in principal to the letter.”

Coun. Bob Kendel didn’t think that municipalities or even the province should be handling this. “The issue of doing something about the marijuana industry is basically a federal issue and until it’s dealt with at that level, these letters are only meant, as I see it, as a grassroots support to try and pressure provincially and federally for some change,” he said. “It’s a federal issue. If the federal government decides to deal with it and institute a law regulating and taxing it, I think at that point I could make some decision about what we could do locally.”

Coun. Cher Wyers said she saw marijuana as a gateway drug and didn’t think a comparison the letter drew to alcohol prohibition was relevant.

“What happened 80 years ago is a hell of a lot different than what’s happening today,” Wyers said.

Council voted to receive the letter as an information item and the discussion will be revisited again as Coun. Neil Krog was not present at Monday’ night’s meeting.

Boundary Community Hospice AssociaƟon –

May is National Hospice Palliative Care Month Boundary Community Hospice History:

Overview:

Back in 1987...

Laura Kootnikoff (Harshenin) had a dream after attending a workshop with Elizabeth Kubler-Ross.

Dora Salked, Ray Nickel, Thomasena Begin, Judi Gilbert, Lorraine O’Conner (Klumpp), Bernice Kohlman, Liza Strukoff, Bill Baldry, Bev Frisby and Cora Treby met as a core group representing various areas of the community; they each put $2 into the kitty to get started!

They were told it would never work and was not needed...we are here today because they were proven wrong!

This dedicated group spoke to churches, service clubs and members of the connmunity to develop interest and support from the Boundary area.

1988... Boundary Community Hospice Society was born. Shortly thereafter the first training session was held at Selkirk College. We have never looked back... training sessions are held yearly.

We have approximately 50 trained volunteers, from Bridesville, Beaverdell to Christina Lake.

We are blessed with two beautiful Family Rooms at our hospital (the envy of other hospitals in the; Kootenay-Boundary area). The first Hospice room was opened in June 1993; funds for this room all came from community donations.

The second Hospice room was opened in December 1999; this room was funded by Canpar Industries as a gift to the community.

Monday to Friday driver service is provided for citizens of Grand Forks, Christina Lake, Greenwood, Midway, Rock Creek and surrounding areas requiring assistance to access medical appointments or visits to care centers. Please book as far in advance as possible.

Driver service is provided to individuals referred to the program by a

Boundary Volunteer Driver Program

medical practitioner, community careworker or self referral.

History of Hospice Palliative Care Although the hospice movement claims its origins in the 11th Century work of the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem during the Crusades, the modern hospice movement has its roots in nineteenth century France, Ireland and the U.S.A. Some milestones include: 1843: A home for the dying was opened in Paris by L’Association des Dames du Calvaire leading to the foundation of six other establishments for the care of the dying between 1874, in Paris and 1899, in New York.

1879: the Irish Sisters of Charity opened Our Lady’s Hospice for the Dying in Dublin followed by others in Australia, England and Scotland, all of which still exist today and are run by the Order as modern palliative-care units.

1900: the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne established St Rose’s Hospice in Lower Manhattan and then another in New York, followed by others in Philadelphia, Fall River, Atlanta, St Paul and Cleveland.

The Canadian Scene

In Canada, hospice palliative care has developed to meet local needs largely as a result of the rapid expansion of cancer treatment programs in the 1970s whereby treatment was defined as either curative or palliative. The hospice palliative care movement began in 1974 with the creation of palliative care units in a hospital setting at Winnipeg’s St. Boniface General Hospital and at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. Subsequently, hospice palliative care programs developed as divisions of larger organizations or agencies. Volunteer-based hospice societies and organizations began to develop soon after.

It is impossible to think of the Canadian hospice movement without mention of Dr. Balfour Mount. Dr. Mount, a physician who has survived two personal bouts with cancer, took his end-of-life care training with Dame Saunders in England before becoming the founding director of the Royal Victoria Hospital Palliative Care service in 1974. In fact, he created the use of the term “palliative care” in searching for an appropriate bilingual term after discovering that the word “hospice” in French was used to describe nursing homes in France.

In the mid 1980s health care systems began using terms such as acute, chronic, geriatric, or palliative to define a category of patient. These new terms mandated specialized needs.

Hospice palliative care became quickly and widely accepted as a societal movement reforming health care delivery to balance, what the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association refers to as, “high tech” acute care with “high touch” palliative care.

Thanks Boundary Hospice for all you do!

Taylor and other mayors talk grants at BC Mayors’ Caucus CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Mayor Brian Taylor recently attended the inaugural BC Mayors’ Caucus from May 16 to 18 in Penticton, B.C. The meeting had 86 mayors from across British Columbia meet to discuss social, economic and cultural growth of urban and rural cities.

“It was certainly productive,” said Taylor. “The intention is not to work on cross-purposes with UBCM (Union of British Columbia Municipalities) but to complement that organization. There were a lot of good comments, but there was a lot of good discussion about where the costs are building up when we get a government grant.”

Taylor pointed out that event with grants have hidden fees because cities have to calculate the costs of reporting,

engineering and organization factors that add up.

“The mayors are ready to tackle some of the things that have been really big picture issues,” he added. “Why can’t cities have five-year planning for financial purposes, rather than forcing us to compete with each other all the time for grants? It’s divisive in itself in the nature.”

Taylor noted that networking was important to gain a better understanding of what other communities are doing.

The mayors wanted to find away to deliver services to their communities with the tax dollars that they are already collecting, stated Taylor.

“We talked about ways to get rid of the bureaucracy, red tape and the rules that we make that end up strangling us,” he said. “We talked about grants

and how we can do them better. For me, it has motivated me to look at government differently and how it separates communities from each other.”

Taylor added that the BC Mayors’ Caucus plans to meet again in September, prior to UBCM. The mayor noted that the mayors’ caucus hasn’t decided whether or not they would be connected to the UBCM meeting, or remain a separate identity.

According to a BC Mayors’ Caucus press release, the goals of the caucus are “to forge policy to bring forward to the federal and provincial governments, explore means of mutual support, seek economic benefits through shared resources and to pursue economic development.”

The BC Mayors’ Caucus steering committee is made up of nine members from across the province.

Safe Kids Week 2012 May 28 - June 3 Poison prevention - Every day, every way

Poisoning is the fourth leading cause of injury deaths and permanent total disability. It is estimated that half of all poison exposures occur among children less than five years old.

Canadian children are at risk, and most poisonings occur in the home. Fortunately, most poisonings are preventable with a few simple measures.

The theme of this year’s Safe Kids Week is Out of Sight and Locked Up Tight.

❚ POLICE REPORT

THIS WEEK’S STAR: OLIVER!

Assaulted victim from Moto released from hospital CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Assault victim from Moto back in town The Grand Forks resident who was airlifted to Kelowna on May 13 after a fight that resulted in severe head injuries is in back in town.

The victim was struck with a glass liquor bottle and had to be placed in a medically-induced coma.

The fight occurred at a local party spot known as Moto (east of Grand Forks) around 3 a.m.

Timothy Lafreniere, 21, of Grand Forks has been charged with aggravated assault and is currently on bail pending his court date is June 19.

Copper wires stolen A house under construction on Riverside Drive was broken into on May 26 at 6:30 p.m. Someone stole a pile of copper wire from the site.

“Strangely enough, all the tools were left behind but all the copper wires were stolen,” said Harrison. “There is thousands of dollars worth of damage because they pulled out all the copper wiring out of the house under construction.

There are no suspects or witnesses, but if anyone has any knowledge about it, please let us know, stated Harrison.

Vehicle loses control, ends in embankment On May 21, Grand Forks Ambulance Services

called RCMP to report a single vehicle accident on Highway 3 four kilometers west of Christina Lake at the pull out by the wooden information sign with information on Grand Forks.

There were three occupants in the car, but no one was trapped or injured.

The vehicle was 20 feet down (seven metres) the embankment on the eastbound lane facing westbound.

The 32-year-old female driver from east Vancouver was charged with failing to keep on the right-hand side of the road.

“Apparently she was turning around when she was driving to speak to one of the passengers when she lost control of the vehicle, crossed the centre line and went over the embankment,” said Harrison.

Deer versus vehicle A vehicle accident occurred west of Grand Forks on May 25 at 6:35 p.m.

A 53-year-old female driver from Kamloops, B.C. struck a deer eastbound on route to Castlegar.

The deer caused some minor damage to the front driver side of the vehicle, smashing out the headlights and the bumper cover.

The car is still functioning and there were no injuries, while the deer was stunned, but was able to get up and run off.

Locals to speak at rural summit CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Grand Forks will be hosting this year’s B.C. Rural Communities Summit at Grand Forks Secondary School from June 7 to 9.

The event will bring over 100 people from around the province to attend multiple workshops and focuses on networking with other communities.

Mayor Brian Taylor believes the exposure will be good for Grand Forks.

“We’re such a typical small town in the province and there are many rural communities that face the same types of challenges that we face here,” he said. “It’s quite appropriate to hold a rural summit in a rural community. It’s typical and has many of the same problems as other communities.”

Sarah Winton, executive director for Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce, agreed.

“There’s going to be some great exposure for the community,” she said. “They’ll be eating at our restaurants and staying in our hotels and hopefully shopping while they’re here.”

This year’s theme is focused on “Grassroots, Growing Sustainable Rural Communities,” and will feature a keynote address by Selkirk College CEO Angus Graeme.

“There will be a series of workshops throughout the day on Friday and Saturday morning, with 15 workshops in total,” explained Winton.

“Participants will be able to choose whichever

workshop in that time period that they like.”

Local speakers include Roly Russell and Frank Moreland.

Russell will be providing a workshop called “Plugging the Leaks: Improving What We Got

by Building Real Rural Economic Wealth,” while Moreland has a workshop called “Creating Regional Food Economies: opportunities and challenges.”

“Russell will be focusing on providing regional rural economic practitioners with a revised framework for strengthening rural economies,” explained Winton.

Moreland will use a food value chain to explore economically rewarding strategies while staying local.

“The summit promotes strategies for issues and challenges that rural communities face because they’re very different than urban centres and places with larger populations,” said Winton. “It’s a great opportunity for people to share and exchange information, and network with communities that are exactly in the same position as we are.”

Winton pointed out that it is a great opportunity to find creative ways to tackle various issues.

“We tend to think we’re isolated and we’re dealing with things that people don’t understand, but once you get a group of people from rural communities together, you realize that we share the same challenges,” she concluded.

Come and show your appreciation for the outstanding contribution these students have made to Grand Forks.

You’ll be glad you did.

Submitted

On Thursday, June 7, at 7:30 p.m. in the Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS) auditorium, six graduating students will say thanks to the community that raised them, through song. Melissa Dean, Nicole del Aguila, Missy Faulkner, Dylan Fitzpatrick, Rena Helmkay and Carter Notheisz have been actively involved in music since a young age – at Perley and Hutton, and later, at GFSS, with The Sopranos & Co. and with voice instructor Joan Thompson.

Regular contributors to community events such as Canada Music Week, Canada Day, Arts Week, Relay for Life, community choir and school concerts, these students have given much to the musical life of our community.

Many of them plan to continue to perform, and study music in the future.

Carter and Nicole are heading to post-

Numbers support the use of a doula for child birth KRISTY ZAMEC Submitted

May is International Doula Month and you may have read our previous articles about the benefits of having a trained support person with you and your family when you give birth but allow me to give you some stats to back up that claim.

Currently in B.C.: • 17 per cent of first time moms in B.C. have instrumental deliveries, meaning the use of a vacuum or forceps.

• 22 per cent of women are induced, that rate goes up to 27 per cent for first-time moms, and it’s 1.3 times more likely for rural moms. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the rate be 10 per cent.

• 33 per cent of babies are delivered by C-section.

WHO recommends rates of 10 to 15 per cent.

While only one-third of those are planned, inducing labour nearly doubles the odds of having a C-section and

first-time moms are at even higher risk. Epidurals also increase the chance.

Our maternal and neonatal mortality rates, incidentally, have remained the same, on par with countries whose C-section rates are 15 per cent.

In addition to this, women in rural areas, which now include the Boundary area, are 7.4 times more likely to experience moderate to severe stress when compared to women who have local maternity services.

Some of the big factors for this include financial issues, lack of continuity of care and the inability of family to provide support because of travel.

Studies have shown that women cared for during labour by a birth doula, compared to those receiving usual care, were: • 26 per cent less likely to give birth by cesarean section • 41 per cent less likely to give birth with a vacuum extractor or forceps

• 28 per cent less likely to use any analgesia or anesthesia • 33 per cent less likely to be dissatisfied or negatively rate their birth experience.

Plus, your doula is devoted solely to you in the time surrounding your due date, providing continuous support before, during, and after the birth, traveling with you to the birth destination of your choice, to ensure that at no time do you and your family go without the support you need.

Most doulas also charge on a sliding scale, as well as participate in programs that offer volunteer services for those in need.

The decision of whether or not to have a doula should not be a financial one.

For more information or to contact your local doulas, please visit DONA.org or kootenaydoulagroup.org.

– Kristy Zamec is a certified doula through DONA International

Meat Truck will be at Nick’s Feeds on Fridays starting April 20, 9am-4pm.

Locally made: pepperoni, jerky, smokies, wieners, Farmers sausage, fresh sausage, bacon, hams, organic ground beef and more.

Phone 250-442-3636. Can pre-order.

The Christina Lake Golf Club will be holding its club championship this Saturday and Sunday (June 2 and 3).

The event, open to club members, will have men’s and ladies’ sides and has been going for close to 50 years.

“Usually we get about 80 men and 20 ladies participating in it and from this tournament we determine our club champ, our senior men’s club champ, our super senior men’s club champ and our ladies’ club champion,” explains Christina Lake Golf Club GM Kevin Maffioli.

“It’s a straight tournament, just a two-day, stroke-play event. Count all your stokes up, nothing funky. Just straight golf.”

The Christina Lake Golf Club Championship will also see players grouped based on skill level.

“It’s also flighted, so we do a net side with handicaps as well, where if you’re a 20-handicap, we take 20 (strokes) off your score that day with your net score, there are also handicap divisions as well for different varying abilities,” Maffioli says.

The golf club’s GM said that the club championship is an

event for the locals to come to the course, compete for two days and see who can take home the trophies.

“It’s a pretty nice plaque, it’s got a lot of history on it for sure,” says Maffioli.

Maffioli said that the tournament has been taking place (with no breaks) since 1964 and there have been a lot of different winners – 21 overall.

Going into this weekend, the defending champions are Graeme Carlson (men), Wayne Priebe (senior), Bert BurnellHiggs (super senior) and Connie Kostash (ladies).

While the club championship is about 48 years old, the actual club is having its 50th anniversary on Saturday, Sept. 22.

“The Royal Canadian Golf Association (RCGA) is going to send somebody and they’re going to give us a plaque and we’re going to have an open day of play for any members and guests that day to celebrate our 50th anniversary,” Maffioli says.

“I wasn’t thinking about it too much until the RCGA phoned and said, ‘Hey, it’s your 50th anniversary; we want to send you a plaque for 50 years,” explains Maffioli with a laugh.

The club will also be holding the Christina Lake Men’s Open, which runs from June 16 to 17.

❚ REC REPORT

Summer time is swimming time LILLY BRYANT Grand Forks Recreation

The National Lifeguard Service (NLS) award builds on the skills, knowledge and values that the Lifesaving Society teaches in its Canadian Swim Patrol Jr. Lifeguard Clubs and Bronze medal awards to develop the practical skills and knowledge required by lifeguards.

NLS pool option trains lifeguards in safety supervision and rescue in a pool environment. This course goes beyond the lifesaving skills taught in the bronze medal awards.

Standard first aid or aquatic emergency care must be current within two years of the first day of the NLS course and candidates must have completed the Bronze Cross award and be 16 years of age.

This year’s NLS course will be offered from Wednesday, June 27 to Tuesday, July 3, instructed by Marg Kovacs. Contact our office for complete details on the upcoming NLS course. *** This summer is packed full of water safety programs and swim lessons.

Grand Forks Recreation (GFREC) is offering a NLS recertification on Friday, July 6 and Saturday, July 7. This course will cover all the requirements to renew your lifeguarding

certificate so you will be current and ready for summer employment.

If you are thinking about a career in aquatics and you’re 13 years or older, Christina Lake Recreation will be offering a week long Bronze Medallion and Cross camp from Monday, July 30 to Friday, Aug. 3 at the public beach. This course teaches the lifesaving skills needed should you ever find yourself in a water safety emergency situation. Deadline to register is Monday, July 23. *** If your child has completed all the Red Cross swim lesson levels and is not of age to take part in the Bronze medal awards, or if they are tired of the traditional lesson format, they can register for the Canadian Swim Patrol summer camp from Tuesday, Aug. 7 to Friday, Aug. 10.

Along with the summer advanced leadership camps, we will be offering swim lessons throughout the months of July and August at the Grand Forks Aquatic Centre and Christina Lake. The lake lessons will be offered at the public beach the week of Monday, July 23 and Monday July 30. Class sizes are limited so register early to reserve your space.

Please give us a call at 250-442-2202 or email us at gfplay@ rdkb.com. You can also visit our website at www.rdkb.com to view the June flyer.

❚ CYCLING

Robb’s Ride returns to Grand Forks BOB MacLEAN Submitted

Approximately 150 cyclists will be rambling through Grand Forks on Friday, June 1 and coursing 120 km through the North Fork Valley in a loop on day one.

Dr. Robb Sebastian will be hosting this annual event that draws about 130 cyclists from all over the province, who will be staying in town on Thursday and Friday night.

There will be around 20 cyclists from the Grand Forks Cycling Club to complete the 150 riders. The cyclists leave town on Saturday, but return from Osoyoos on Sunday.

The total distance is around 360 km for the three days of the ride. Motorists may encounter long lines of bicycles, so please share the road once again, as you have been doing this spring. Thank you.

The Grand Forks Cycling Club will be hosting a training session on Saturday, June 9 from 9 to 10:30 a.m. starting at Chain Reaction Ride & Slide. The session is open to teens and adults who want to learn to ride safely in groups, and in a “pace line.”

The session is free, but please register with Bob at 250-4423071. Participants need a helmet and a bicycle as this is on the road training.

Notice of Passing ELIZABETH ARESHENKOFF Elizabeth Areshenkoff, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, was born on September 21, 1934, at Kamsack, Saskatchewan, to Nick and Nellie Pankoff. She was the youngest of four children: John, Ann and Peter. The family moved to Grand Forks in 1943 when she was nine years old, settling on a farm in Almond Gardens. Upon completing Grade 8, Elizabeth left school to work at seed farms, the packinghouse and the Style Centre. A popular event during the school years was the May Day celebration, and in 1948, Elizabeth, always admired for her beauty, was crowned Maid of Honour.

Elizabeth first met Nick Areshenkoff in 1948 when he worked with her brother Peter in a logging camp. They began courting in 1953 and married on January 8, 1955. They first lived in an apartment above Anne’s Grill in a building owned by Nick’s father, where three of their four children were born: daughter Linda and sons, Ron and Barry. In 1962 they built a home in west Grand Forks on the hospital street where another son, Danny blessed their family.

At home, Elizabeth tended a large garden while keeping busy with four active children. The old wringer washer gave out from the many loads of family laundry and hockey team jerseys. She would wake in the wee hours of each morning to make and pack a fresh lunch for her husband to take to work in the logging truck. The root cellar was always well stocked with an abundance of home grown fruits and vegetables and there were always delicious and creative meals for her family. Later, with the advent of satellite television, Elizabeth loved watching the cooking shows, learning kitchen tips and perfecting her cooking skills. She also did some quilting and sewing clothes for the family.

She was a wonderful homemaker and was generous to family and friends alike.

The years spent in west Grand Forks were very joyous. There were about 35 children over a two-block radius and all the families socialized together. There were numerous camping excursions, picnics at Christina Lake, tobogganing at the Pines Bible Camp and at Reid’s Hill, and home parties. The women met for coffee each morning and the children called the adults aunty and uncle. It was a safe and nurturing neighbourhood, the relationships of which Elizabeth always treasured.

The family was involved with the Grand Forks Border Bruins hockey team for some 12 years and Elizabeth was known for her extraordinary culinary skills. She worked tirelessly feeding her own family, the billets that lived with them, visiting hockey teams and players’ family members. Lasting friendships were made that remain to this day.

Elizabeth had a strong resolve to accomplish seemingly daunting tasks. A favourite expression was “I can move mountains”. To illustrate this, the family recalls an incident in 1974 when their son, Ron played hockey with the Vernon Vikings. One time, the team travelled to Grand Forks to play an exhibition game against the Border Bruins. Naturally, Elizabeth wanted her son to come home for a meal so he could visit with the family. The coach refused, saying the team had to stay together. This was unacceptable to her, that she couldn’t feed her son at home. So she came up with the brilliant idea to invite the entire team. She put on a traditional Russian meal starting with her famous borscht and bread; and ending with delicious pies and the best part was being able to feed her son. The coach likely didn’t know what he was up against when he initially refused this mother to feed her son.

Over the years, Elizabeth supported her children- Linda in her educational and career pursuits, Ron with his hockey career and Barry who took over the family logging business. It pleased her to watch them become successful adults and parents.

Elizabeth loved her Doukhobor community and kept the Doukhobor principles close to her heart. She loved listening to the numerous Doukhobor choral groups, including the Vocal Six, the Centennial Choir, the Union of Young Doukhobors, the Grand Forks and Men’s Tri-choirs and more recently, the Victoria Doukhobor Choir.

For over 32 years, Elizabeth operated Nature’s Way Health store until her retirement. She was always nutritionally conscious and this venture gave her the opportunity to keep current with health research and to share her knowledge with others.

This was a lifestyle that she brought into her home and the legacy that she leaves for her family.

Seven years ago, Elizabeth’s mobility was severely compromised following hip surgery and her health slowly declined. She was diagnosed with cancer in early April of this year. Following a brief hospital stay, Elizabeth passed away peacefully at Boundary Hospital early on Saturday, May 12, 2012, surrounded by her loving family.

She was 77 years old.

Elizabeth was predeceased by her parents, Nick and Nellie Pankoff; her son, Danny; brothers, Peter and John; and sister, Anne Straloff. She also suffered additional losses of close family members.

Elizabeth is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, Nick; daughter, Linda; sons, Ron (Becky) and Barry (Charlene); grandchildren: Jared, Corson, Landyce, Ashley, Nilan and Alicia; three great-grandchildren: Audrey, Olivia and Liam; sistersin-law: Molly Pankoff, Elizabeth Pankoff, Paulette (Ralph) Tedesco and Mable Blakely; brother-in-law, Bill (Marge) Areshenkoff; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Our mom was the centre of our family. She made us feel deeply loved and leaves an immeasurable void in our lives. Her loving touch will be with us always. May God accept her soul into His heavenly kingdom and may she rest in peace.

A traditional Doukhobor funeral was held on Wednesday, May 16, 2012, at the USCC, followed by interment at the USCC Sion Doukhobor Cemetery. Grand Forks Funeral Home had care of arrangements.

The family is deeply appreciative of everyone who telephoned, sent cards and flowers, visited the home, brought food and attended the service, especially those who travelled over distance. Your heartfelt support was a comfort to us. We are also grateful to Everett Baker and staff at the Grand Forks Funeral Home; J.J. Verigin and Laura Verigin/ Paul (Jerry) Seminoff for his guidance and comfort and exceptional care in officiating at the service; the singers, cooks and gravediggers. We also extend heartfelt thanks to the doctors and nurses at Boundary Hospital for their compassionate care and attention to our dear wife and mother and the support they extended to our family. We are truly grateful to everyone for your love and support. Donations to Iskra Publications or a charity one one’s choice would be appreciated.

Notice of Passing DAVID BORCHELT 1948 to 2012 On May 22, 2012, at age 64, David died peacefully at Boundary Hospital with his loving and caring wife, Susan Blair at his side.

David will be deeply missed by son, Dustin and daughter, Adrienne as well as by his many friends and relatives.

He is survived by his sisters, Donna and Debbie and brothers, Hob and Greg.

David was born at Akron, Ohio, grew up in Batesville, Indiana, and moved to Canada as a young man.

After spending a brief time in Toronto, David moved to the Lower Mainland, where he met Susan. In 1977, David and Susan settled in Grand Forks as founding members of Thimble Mountain Cooperative Farm. He remained a committed and integral member of the co-op over these many years. David, a retired CUPE Local 2254 member, was employed at the Grand Forks Arena for many years. As well, he was an active member of the community where he served on both the library and art gallery boards and was a co-founder of the No Boundaries Film Festival. Also, David was actively involved in Rivers’ Edge Theatre Company.

David was wholly committed to Susan, Dustin and Adrienne and he expressed this daily in his words and deeds.

David’s love of British Columbia was evident in his enjoyment of many outdoor activities including hiking, climbing, skiing, kayaking, sailing, cycling, camping, canoeing and gardening though his passion was hiking and climbing in the high country. David was an accomplished carpenter and cabinet maker; he built his family’s home at TMCF and assisted in the construction of friends’ homes in the area.

The family would like to acknowledge and thank the many friends in Grand Forks and Point Roberts, WA, who provided overwhelming support for David and Susan and helped with David’s care throughout the last nineteen months. As well, the family would like to express gratitude to the medical staff at Boundary Hospital and Kelowna General Hospital for their dedication to David’s well-being.

There will be a celebration of David’s life on Saturday, June 9, 2012, at Hutton School gymnasium, 2575 - 75th Avenue, Grand Forks, at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Grand Forks Palliative Care, c/o Boundary Hospital, Box 2647, Grand Forks, B.C., V0H-1H0, or Friends of the Library, c/o Grand Forks Public Library, Box 1539, Grand Forks, B.C., V0H-1H0.
