In the weeds in the RDEK Interior Health cancels Meadowbrook Community Association asks for stable, longterm funding for noxious weed control C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

The Select Standing

Committee on Finance and Government Service is travelling the province seeking input on provincial budget deliberations in September and October, and stopped in Cranbrook on Monday, September 30 A number of different organizations presented to the committee seeking to direct some government funding their way. In-

cluded in that group was the Meadowbrook Community Association, which brought its concerns about underfunding of noxious weed programs in the Regional District of East Kootenay.

Bob Johnstone of the Meadowbrook Community Association presented to the Committee. Johnstone says that while the government has legis-

lation designating responsibilities for noxious weeds, which indicates concern, funding for dealing with weeds is being cut.

“Provincial funding for control of noxious weeds in the East Kootenay has decreased over the past three years from $469.761.43 in 2011 to $295,000.00 this year,” Johnstone said.

Ron Sexmith oct 7

R

on Sexsmith is a Canadian singer-songwriter who started his first band when he was 14 years old. By the age of 17 he was playing the bar circuit in his hometown of St. Catharines, Ontario, where he quickly gained a reputation as “the one-man jukebox”.

When his son was born in 1985 Ron decided to start writing his own songs, and soon after released his first album on cassette “Out of the Duff ”.

Over the years he has released a total of 13 albums, growing in popularity and acquiring a number of famous admirers. Elvis Costello, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Steve Earle, and Sheryl Crow have all praised the Canadian pop-folk artist. Additionally, Sexsmith co-wrote “Brandy Alexander” with Feist and his song “secret heart” has been covered by Rod Stewart, Fiest and Nick Lowe. In 2011 he won a JUNO for songwriter of the year for the song “whatever it takes” that was covered by Micheal Buble. Ron Sexsmith’s newest album Forever Endeavour has been met with high praise from critics.

His new music has been described as “deftly poetic, gently affecting songs that perfectly distil the pitfalls of being human”.

Ron is joined by special guest Jenn Grant a Canadian JUNO nominated pop singer and songwriter touring her new record The Beautiful Wild.

Upcoming garden workshops

One World Garden Workshop Thursday October 3 in Kimberley and Cranbrook

Carolyn Grant photo

There’s been a change in management at Kimberley’s Overwaitea Store as Ted Murrell moves on to Nelson and Asst. Manager David Burki moves to Cranbrook. The new Operations Manager in Kimberley is Andrew Sanders, who comes to Kimberley after eight years with Overwaitea in Creston.

Meadowbrook Community Association requests money for noxious weeds “As a result, existing infestations are thriving and adjacent areas are being contaminated.”

The Province’s efforts to preserve agricultural capacity and to promote tourism can be seriously impaired if noxious weeds are not controlled, he continued.

The RDEK has a cost sharing program to assist property owners with weed control, and while money shrinks, applications to the program have increased from 32 in 2010 to 63 thus far in 2013.

Johnstone decided to present in person to the committee in hopes of having more of an impact.

“Last year our association made a written submission to this Select Standing Committee requesting additional provincial funding and action,” he said. “The result was a reduction in funding for the East Kootenay of close to $175,000; so this year we came in person.”

The Meadowbrook Community Association believes a partnership between the provincial government, local governments, community associations and individual landowners to educate about the threat of

The fifth workshop in the One World Garden Series, The Magic of Perennials, is coming up Thursday, October 4, 10-noon in Kimberley and 3-5pm in Cranbrook. Please note the change of timing to daytime, mid-week for this session.

We’re planning a very handson experience this month, so if English is not your most comfortable language, it will be easier to follow this workshop.

In The Magic of Perennials we’ll be learning about some of the food-producing perennials that grow here, and the care required to prepare for bountiful harvests next year. This is a good time for transplanting; whether you’re moving things around in your garden or putting in new plants, we’ll go over some tricks to lessen the shock on plants.

The goal of this workshop series is to increase the local ca-

This is the 5th workshop in a 6 part series, and it has been really wonderful to share a season of gardening with many participants since June. We’ve been fortunate to have different guest garden mentors at each workshop, and this one will be no exception. The wealth

of local knowledge is inspiring and the garden is a great place to learn and share, as well as meet new people and get to know our local community gardens.

The Kimberley workshop will be held from 10-noon at Cominco Community Garden, located at Cominco Gardens in townsite and in Cranbrook from 3-5pm at the Public Produce Garden in Eric McKinnon Park.

VICTORIA – Education Minister Peter Fassbender says boards protesting the cost of a 3.5 per cent raise for school support should have known it was coming, but some opted to wait and hope for an NDP government to take over.

Fassbender said in an interview that school trustees have been working with the education ministry for months on “savings plans.” They knew the B.C. Liberal government would not increase budgets to cover a raise for workers who haven’t seen one in four years, and have been without a contract for more than a year.

“I think there was some hope on the part of some [trustees] that

we would, with our backs to the wall perhaps, come up with additional dollars,” Fasssbender said.

“And the other reality, quite honestly, was that up until May 14 there was some anticipation that there was going to be a change of government.”

Trustees around the province are grappling with added costs for contracts with 69 union locals representing education assistants, bus drivers, custodians and crossing guards.

Union locals and boards of education must all vote to ratify the agreement by December for it to take effect. It includes a one per cent raise retroactive to July 1, another two per cent starting Feb. 1 and 0.5 per cent in May 2014.

Districts calculate costs from

the deal to be more than $2 million in Vancouver, $700,000 in Chilliwack and proportional amounts in other districts, most of which have already cut services due to declining enrolment.

Fassbender said the support staff settlement meets the government’s “cooperative gains” mandate imposed on all public service unions, because CUPE chose to accept a smaller raise and protect its ability to bank sick days.

School support staff and teachers are the last provincial government unions to accept a “cooperative gains” contract.

Fassbender and Premier Christy Clark have offered to fund raises for teachers, if they will agree to a long-term settlement.

IH cancels Meals on Wheels From Page 1 Under Dinners At Home, people can order whatever quantity of frozen meal they require, enough for one each day, and reheat the meal themselves at home. But packages of meals must be picked up from the F.W. Green Home in Cranbrook or the Kimberley Special Care Home.

Volunteers in the Meals On Wheels program have expressed concerns that Dinners At Home won’t be appropriate for some clients, many of whom can’t drive to pick up meals, or can’t reheat meals because they are blind or suffer memory loss.

But according to Interior Health, this doesn’t take into consideration other services the clients have available to them.

“We are working individually with each

individual client or a family contact to ensure that the supports that they have are available for heating meals. If they need a home support worker to come in and reheat meals and ensure that they are eating regularly, then these meals are in their home already and with their likes and dislikes (catered to) as well,” said Laresa Altenhoff, Interior Health East’s area manager for food and nutrition services.

Home support workers can visit every day if required to reheat the meal, she said.

According to Altenhoff, Dinners At Home will give clients more choice of meals, meals more often, they can choose what time they eat, and meals will be available to people living outside city limits.

Clients are already making arrangements for meals on the days that Meals On Wheels is not delivered, she went on.

“Right now, they get only three meals a week. So out of 21 meals, if you ate three meals a day, what are clients doing for the rest of the 17 meals?

Someone is out shopping for them, getting their incidentals, toilet paper, all those type of things.

“Somewhere there is a support. So we will locate a support so that someone can come and pick up their meals. If there

isn’t anyone, then the volunteer drivers who wanted to do that will come and pick up the meals.”

The meals are prepared in Penticton, frozen and transported to the East Kootenay. Cranbrook and Kimberley are the last cities in the Interior to join Dinners At Home.

Its popularity among active seniors led to the program being introduced to the Kootenays in Trail in 2004.

Requests from Creston brought it to the East Kootenay in Creston in 2009.

There are 21 meals that clients can choose from when they order, including gluten free and puree options.

“It also supports clients not just in city limits; it’s for our rural remote areas as well,” said Altenhoff. “Meals On Wheels was restricted to city limits for our drivers.”

People who take part in the adult day program at the F.W. Green Home or Kimberley Special Care Home can have their meal packages transported with them when they take the community bus home.

And while Meals on Wheels had a limit of how many clients it could take on, Dinners At Home is offered to as many people as need it, including people who are just leaving hospital and need a few meals while they get back on their feet.

“There are a lot of positives to this program, but right now people aren’t aware what we are transitioning to because they haven’t experienced it,” said Altenhoff. “The important thing is that we are working with each individual client and assessing if they need support, where do they need the support, etcetera.”

Rhetoric means nothing; Macdonald Pattern of ignoring needs of seniors: MLA C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

It’s just a bunch of empty rhetoric from the provincial Liberal government about keeping seniors in their homes, says Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald on the cancellation of Meals on Wheels by Interior Health.

“Despite rhetoric

about keeping seniors in their homes, over the past ten years support has changed dramatically, making it more difficult to stay at home,” Macdonald said. “The rhetoric is there but the situation on the ground is very different. It’s part of a pattern where seniors are left in isolation and not given the support they need to remain in their homes.”

Interior Health CEO applauds ICU project Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Interior Health’s chief of staff was in Cranbrook this week inspecting the site of the new Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

Dr. Robert Halpenny, Chief Executive Officer for the Interior Health Authority, walked through the grassy area where the new, state of the art unit will be built.

The $20 million project will consist of a 6,500 square foot ICU with six beds, including equipment. The Kootenay East Regional Hospital District chipped in $8 million for the project, while the B.C. government will provide the remaining $12 million.

About 50 per cent of the project cost will go to upgrading the hospital’s electrical sys-

tem.

On Monday, September 30, Dr. Halpenny toured the site of the ICU, which will be built on two levels to the north of the hospital’s existing footprint.

“It’s terrific. We’ve looked at the site out here. We are in the mock-up stage so that the staff have input into what they are actually going to be working in.

That’s exciting for them. We are as close as you can be to being on time,” said Dr. Halpenny.

He said medical staff have raised several concerns over the current ICU, but it was hard to envisage the problems until he saw the cramped unit himself.

“When we were getting the requests for the new ICU here, having not seen it, it was difficult to read the report. But then as soon as you came in and looked at the ICU, you

said, ‘Now I see the issue,’” said Dr. Halpenny.

“The biggest (concern) was the issues of size. It’s very small, very cramped. When people are in the ICU and they are very sick, and for example if there is a trauma, there are a lot of people around an individual’s bed. That leads to the person in the next bed being compromised. So we will be looking at a much larger unit with appropriate separation.

With that appropriate separation comes improved care specifically related to infections.”

A request for proposals for the ICU is expected to go out in mid-December or early January. However, because the electrical work must be carefully scheduled, it will take 36 to 40 months to complete, meaning the new ICU ward should open in late 2016.

Dr. Halpenny’s visit was not

just to see the ICU; he spent Monday in meetings with staff, physicians, elected officials and hospital foundations and auxiliaries.

“There are a number of different reasons for visiting, but I think the biggest one is to meet with the staff and understand what their issues are,” he said.

In 2012, Interior Health recruited more physicians than the rest of B.C.’s health authorities, according to Dr. Halpenny.

“So we are doing some good work in that field. But there is a worldwide shortage of primary care physicians specifically and a shortage of general internal medicine specialists as well,” he said, adding that ultrasound technicians are particularly difficult to recruit.

plunged Greece into poverty – and in last year’s election it got 7 percent of the vote.

Waving Greek flags and the party’s logo (which looks quite like a swastika), Golden Dawn’s bully-boys took over the streets, attacking immigrants, gays and leftists. It had the support of some senior police officers, and its members were arming themselves for some final confrontation. But Prime Minister Antonis Samaras’s government moved first.

Golden Dawn’s members openly admire Adolf Hitler, but the only reason they even know his name is that the German state failed to take similar action against his National Socialist (Nazi) party in the last years before Hitler took power in 1933.

Like Golden Dawn, the Nazis’ share of the national vote jumped sevenfold after the onset of the economic crisis in 1929. but they were still a small minority in Germany, and their violence against their opponents and the Jews gave the state ample reason to act against them.

It didn’t, and as Germany’s economic situation worsened the Nazis’ support grew further. In the 1933 election they got one-third of the vote, and Hitler was appointed Chancellor. That was the end of German democracy and much else besides.

Greece is not a great power, so what happens there matters much less, but without this prompt action it could have ended up the same way. It’s a lot easier to be wise after the fact, but it is the job of politicians to be wise before the fact. Some pass the test; others do not.

If you noticed a new face on the bench with the Kootenay Ice this weekend, that’s because there was one.

Joining head coach Ryan McGill and his assistant, Jay Henderson, was Mike Dyck, who will lend his support to the franchise when McGill takes off with Team Canada for the World Juniors at Christmas.

Dyck, a former WHL coach with the Lethbridge Hurricanes and Vancouver Giants, has been out of the league since 2009, but jumped at the chance to join the Ice and help out.

Dyck, a native of Lethbridge, will make the trip down to Cranbrook

once a month leading up to Christmas, where he will be around fulltime during McGill’s absence.

He was present during Ice training camp and had a chance to check out the talent on the roster.

“I think, coming in, I knew that the team obviously had a strong second half last year with a young team, and I was impressed with how close everybody is, the character of the group,” said Dyck.

“We got a real good group of guys here and obviously, it’s easy to come in when you have solid leadership at the top. It’s an easy situation to come into.”

Dyck was an assis-

tant coach in Lethbridge for four years, before taking on the same role with the Vancouver Giants for another three.

He returned to the Hurricanes in 2005 to lead as head coach for three seasons, taking his squad to the WHL finals in 2008.

Dyck and McGill began talking in the summer, when the latter found out he was part of Team Canada’s coach-

ing staff.

“It really wasn’t that difficult a decision for me,” Dyck said. “I had to clear it with my family, but it’s a great opportunity for me to get back into the Western Hockey League again, and at the same time, I don’t have to move my family or sacrifice what I’ve got in Lethbridge right now.”

McGill and Dyck have history, playing against each other in major-junior in the 1980s and later coaching against each other, when Dyck was an assistant in Lethbridge and McGill was coaching the Ice in Edmonton and Cranbrook in his first tenure.

“We’ve got some his-

tory together, got some similar values and similar ways to play the game so I think this weekend was a real good indication of how all three of us are going to work as a staff and I’m really happy with how it went,” McGill said, after Kootenay wrapped up training camp at the beginning of September.

Dyck has remained in Lethbridge while raising a family, but has kept his foot in the game at the minor hockey and elite levels. He coached Sam Reinhart and Jaedon Descheneau at the 2012 World U-17 Hockey Challenge and will helm Team Alberta for the 2015 Canada Winter Games.

Yankees want manager Joe Girardi back RONALD BLUM Associated Press

NEW YORK - If anything, the Yankees like Joe Girardi even more now than when they hired him to manage the team six years ago.

General manager Brian Cashman praised Girardi’s handling of the team during a disappointing season and is about to offer him a new contract.

“He knows we’d like to have him stay and continue as manager of the New York Yankees as we move forward,” Cashman

said Tuesday. “I feel we hired a good one. He’s been a world champion player for us. He’s been a coach, a broadcaster and obviously a world champion manager. So we’ve benefited from having him and we’d like to do that going forward, but we’ll have to speak with him and see how it plays out.”

Girardi has led the Yankees to a 564-408 record and a World Series title. Crippled by injuries, New York had its poorest season since 1992, missing the playoffs for the second time in 19 years and finishing tied for

third in the AL East at 85-77.

Cashman met Girardi for coffee on Monday, a day after New York’s season ended, and plans to have lunch Wednesday in New York with Girardi’s agent, Steve Mandell.

“We’re entering the sensitive conversations that will either lead to a deal or lead us to the understanding that there won’t be a deal,” Cashman said.

Girardi won out over Don Mattingly to replace Joe Torre after the 2007 season and was given a $7.8 million, three-year contract. He is completing a $9

million, three-year deal.

The Chicago Cubs may be interested in Girardi after firing manager Dale Sveum. Girardi grew up in Illinois, went to Northwestern and played for the Cubs. But Girardi is under contract through October, and Cashman wouldn’t say whether he would give the Cubs permission to speak with the manager.

“I think he likes it here,” Cashman said. “We’re going to give him a real good reason to stay, and he’s earned that through his six years with us so far.”

How you can lower your risk of breast cancer Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women, second only to lung cancer. One in eight women is expected to develop breast cancer in her lifetime, and a recent survey by the Society for Women’s Health Research found that 22 percent of women named breast cancer as the disease they fear most. The specter of breast cancer makes it no surprise that women are eager to seek various ways to reduce their risks of developing this potentially deadly disease.

Though cancer treatments continue to evolve, there remains no cure for breast cancer or any other types of cancer.

However, there are steps men and women can take to reduce their risks of developing breast cancer. In fact, the National Cancer Institute says avoiding breast cancer risk factors is the best path to prevention. * Avoid exposure to radiation. Repeated exposure to radiation therapy used to treat illnesses like Hodgkin’s disease can increase a person’s risk of breast cancer, particularly if treatments begin at an early age. * Keep a healthy weight.

Obesity increases the risk of breast cancer, particularlyYOU

a low-fat diet.

in postmenopausal women. Healthy eating and exercise can help women control their weight while reducing their risks of developing breast cancer and a number of other diseases. Scientists at The Mayo Clinic believe there is a link between estrogen production in fatty breast tissue and breast cancer. * Get your exercise.

Exercising four or more hours a week can lower breast cancer risk.

Exercise need not be heavy lifting at the gym.

Any moderate physical activity, from cycling to walking, can be effective.

Exercise decreases hormone levels in the body that can impact breast cancer risk. Some studies indicate simply walking briskly for one to three hours per week can reduce a woman’s breast cancer risk by 18 percent.

* Reduce alcohol consumption. Various studies have indicated that women who drink alcoholic beverages may develop cancer at a higher rate. Women who consume two to five drinks daily have a greater risk of developing breast cancer than those who abstain from alcohol. * Weigh the risks of hormone replacement therapy. There are mixed reviews on hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, for postmenopausal women. There may be a link between longterm HRT and breast cancer, particularly when estrogen and progesterone are used in combination. Some doctors advise estrogenonly hormone therapy for women who have had a hysterectomy. * Use of SERMs and aromatase inhibitors.

Selective estrogen receptor modulators, or SERMs, are drugs that act like estrogen on some bodily tissues but block the effect of estrogen on other tissues. Aromatase inhibitors decrease the amount of estrogen made by the body.

Women with a high risk of breast cancer may benefit from taking a SERM or aromatase inhibitor.

* Eat a low-fat diet. The Women’s Intervention Nutrition Study from the National Cancer Institute found that the highest after breast surgery rate of breast cancer reduction was among a group of women whoTO ate WEAR DIDN’T WANT

Horoscopes

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might not be comfortable with everything you need to do. You know that the only way to get it all done is to dive right in and get going. You will be delighted at how quickly your to-do list dissolves. A discussion with a boss might be necessary.

Tonight: Join a friend for fun.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll observe as someone continues to encounter obstacles -- one right after the other.

Trying to pitch in and/or make a suggestion might be helpful to this person. Use your creativity in order to make your day easier.

Tonight: Remain responsive to a loved one at a distance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll want to see a situation with more insight and understanding; however, you might be stuck watching the same mental reruns over and over again. Open up to a new way of thinking; you will get a better grasp on what is motivating someone else. Tonight: Easy works.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have a chance to open up to new people and new attitudes.

Be willing to turn a situation around and see it differently.

Your input could be most helpful to a close associate or loved one, as it could helping this person see what has been hidden. Tonight: Relax.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be wondering when you should say that enough is enough. Someone close to you keeps taking advantage of your generosity. Be prepared for this person to have a surprised reaction when you finally decide to say “no.” Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Order in.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will be in your element, and you might feel as if you are able to make a difference. Your creativity spins a new solution for a child or friend. Resist trying to control a situation. A call or interaction with a neighbor or close associate could be touchy.

Tonight: Just be yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Recognize what is happening

Tundra

behind the scenes with a friend or loved one. Sometimes the most supportive action is not acknowledging what is happening, but rather letting this person handle the issue on his or her own. Use care with your funds.

Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) If you feel the impulse to take the lead, and you know full well that you have the support of the majority, do. You need to carry this issue or situation to completion. Recognize what is possible.

A discussion will draw in positive results. Tonight: Ask, and you shall receive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have a way of helping others that allows them to see a controversial idea in a manner in which they can accept it. You could be in a position to make a big change, as long as you get the right support. If you’re feeling insecure, pull back. Tonight: Could go to the wee hours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Detach before deciding whether you can go along with a group decision. You’ll want to zero in

on the most efficient and functional way to proceed. You can decide to convince others that you might have a better path to the same end. Tonight: Opt for something different.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Listen carefully to news that seems out of the norm. Perhaps the person who is delivering the message might not be emphasizing the right points. Reach out to the original source in order to find the truth. Ask questions, if need be. Tonight: Visit with a favorite person.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Defer to others, and make a difference that counts. You might be stopped by someone who cares about the same cause, but he or she might not have the same vision as you. A meeting easily could transform into a fun get-together. Let it happen.

Tonight: Go where the action is.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I recently became engaged to my boyfriend of four years. Immediately after he proposed, I phoned my parents, who always gave the impression that they liked my boyfriend and enjoyed spending time with him. I thought they’d be happy for us. I was very wrong.

My mom was really angry and said that I am “way too young” to be getting married.

Annie, I’m in graduate school. My dad said that my boyfriend “isn’t good enough” and that I should “seriously reconsider this guy.”

(This guy! Like he doesn’t have a name.)

I am still in school, so perhaps this is their way of expressing their worry that if I get married I won’t finish my graduate program, but regardless, I’m really hurt by their reaction. I’ve tried reassuring them, but they keep brushing me aside, insisting I’m marrying too young and to the wrong man.

I cannot figure out their problem. We are in our late 20s, which doesn’t strike me as “too young.” And if they truly believe my fiance isn’t the right person, why didn’t they say so in the intervening four years? Why won’t they give me any concrete reasons for their objections? Sometimes I think what they’re really objecting to is the presence of another person in our small, close-knit family. But it seems selfish of them to place the current family dynamic over my future marriage and happiness. Kids grow up. They get married.

I never in my wildest nightmares thought my engagement would be such a source of anger. What do you think about this? -- Sad Bride-To-Be Dear Sad: It does seem as though your parents suddenly realized that you are leaving the nest and they are panic stricken. Since they refuse to discuss their reasons with you, please ask a trusted friend or family member to intercede on your behalf and try to ascertain whether their objections have any justification. But ultimately, the decision about marriage belongs to you. We hope your parents will welcome your groom into the family instead of pushing you both away.

Dear Annie: I am 84 and have five children, 10 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. I am twice widowed, and one of my boyfriends also died.

I now have a new boyfriend. He is upset with two of my daughters-in-law and a sonin-law because when they see me they say, “Hello, Mother-in-Law!” He says they are being disrespectful for not using my name.

He says they should call me “Grandma” or “Mom” or my given name.

This has caused a problem between us.

What do you think? -- J.G. Dear J.G.: Your boyfriend has no business issuing orders about how your children or their spouses address you. If it doesn’t bother you, it shouldn’t bother him. He sounds bossy and controlling. Tell him to back off.

Dear Annie: “Phone Me,” the 28-year-old who did not find out about her high school reunion because she isn’t on social media, needs to be proactive. Don’t blame others because you didn’t seek out the information.

If you know it is the 10th year of your graduation, contact the school or ex-classmates and find out whether anything is planned.

I have been on every reunion committee since I graduated in 1979. We do the best we can to contact people. However, it gets expensive sending out invitations by regular mail. Word of mouth and seeking out the information is key. So perhaps in anticipation of the next reunion, “Phone Me” could make the effort to find out instead of being “left out.” -- Mary in Ventura, Calif.

Tree planters endured slave-like conditions, lawyers tells rights body Vivian Luk Canadian Press

VANCOUVER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A group of tree planters originally from Africa found living in deplorable conditions in a Golden, B.C., camp endured slave-like conditions because their employers discriminated against black people, a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal heard.

Lawyer Sarah Khan told the tribunal on Monday that the workplace, operated by Khaira Enterprises Ltd., was divided along racial lines. Black workers were forced to work on harder terrain than non-black employees, and the latter were given differential treatment, she said.

Khan is representing 50 tree planters, many of whom were immigrants or refugees, and who she said were subjected to â&#x20AC;&#x153;extreme racial harassment,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; including racial slurs, verbal abuse, and mockery that were â&#x20AC;&#x153;consistent with slavery and anti-black racial segregation.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Khan also alleged that the workers lived in squalid conditions. They were given under cooked or expired food to eat, and were forced to drink untreated water from nearby streams and rivers. At night, they slept on dirty mattresses in a cramped storage container with no ventilation and inadequate showers, she said.

They were also expected to work with few breaks in between, and were given little or no pay, Khan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It made the workers realize their experiences as refugees are not over,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she told Norman Trerise, who is presiding over the tribunal hearing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They also felt unwelcomed in Canada, and they were not valued for their work or as human beings.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The camp in Golden, in southeast B.C., was shut down by B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ministry of Forests in July 2010, when ministry staff discovered the tree planters, and were told that they had not had anything to

eat for two days, the tribunal heard.

After the camp was disbanded, many of the workers suffered financial difficulties because of the lack of wages, said Khan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some became homeless for a period of time, many did not have enough money to purchase food and basic necessities of life,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to support their wives and children.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Several investigations of Khaira, which does reforestation as well as other silviculture work, were launched by various agencies.

The provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Employment Standards Branch ordered the company to repay $260,000 in wages in 2011, but Khan said that not all of the wages have been paid.

The tribunal, scheduled for five weeks, is expected to hear testimony from several of the tree planters.

Moka Balikama, who filed the human rights complaint on behalf of all the black workers, told the tribunal on Monday that he came from the Congo to Canada as a refugee in 2008, and worked for Khaira in Revelstoke and Golden from June to July in 2010.

He had become a permanent resident by then, and he decided to move from Winnipeg to B.C. because he had heard that tree planting was a fast way to make more money â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something he needed to help his sick father in Africa, he said.

The 38-year-old, who now lives in Calgary, said through a Swahili translator that he worked 10 to 12 hours, seven days a week that summer. He also lived with other tree planters in what he believed was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cargo containerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; attached to his bossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck.

He also said he was never paid on time, and that the cost of food and accommodations were deducted from his paycheques even though that issue was never discussed with him before.

According to documents that Khan submitted as evidence, the Employment Standards Branch found that the deductions were not authorized, and Khaira owed Balikama several thousand dollars more than what the company paid him.

Khalid Bajwa and Hardilpreet Sidhu, the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owners, have denied the allegations of mistreatment and discrimination.

Bajwa told the tribunal that Khaira has hired seasonal tree planters for years, and many of the workers found in the camp had worked for him in previous seasons.

The company has never had complaints from workers, and its camps have always passed inspections from WorkSafeBC, he said.

In 2010, as in previous years, his tree planters were hired to work in various areas of B.C., including Texada Island, Powell River, Kamloops, Revelstoke and Golden, said Bajwa. He said the majority of workers were of African origin, but there were also South Asian and white workers, and everyone was treated well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very friendly, they work very good with me, we never had any problems,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever I need more workers, I ask them, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;So can you bring some more guys?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and they bring more guys to work in the company.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bajwa said he has promoted several black workers to managerial positions before, and he questions how he could be perceived as a boss who degrades and racially discriminates against his workers if many happily come back to work for him every year.

Sidhu, who also spoke at Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing, said he has been very hurt by the allegations because he treated the workers like his friends.

Allegations of sexual harassment against one female worker were also presented on Monday.

C anadian Press

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A group of notable Canadian women is launching a campaign for gender-neutral language in the English lyrics of O Canada.

The group says the change would restore Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s English national anthem to its original gender-neutral intentions.

The group â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which includes author Margaret Atwood and former prime minister Kim Campbell â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has set up a website to promote the idea.

It is calling on Canadians to join the campaign and encourage

Prime Minister Stephen Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government to change the line â&#x20AC;&#x153;in all thy sons commandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; to â&#x20AC;&#x153;in all of us command.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; RestoreOurAnthem.ca is being launched on the 100th anniversary of the change made to Judge Robert Stanley Weirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original English lyrics.

The coalition says for no documented reason the lyrics were revised in 1913 from â&#x20AC;&#x153;thou dost in us commandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; to â&#x20AC;&#x153;in all thy sons commandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and that it is time to make a change to reflect the inclusive intentions of the original lyrics.

Other members of the group include Senator Nancy Ruth, retired senator, author and fashion designer Vivienne Poy and Sally Goddard, mother of Nichola Goddard, the first female Canadian soldier killed in combat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The words â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;All thy sons commandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the English national anthem suggests that only male loyalty is being invoked,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Atwood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Restoring these lyrics to gender-neutral is not only an easy fix to make our anthem inclusive for all Canadians, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also long overdue.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
