POLICE BRIEFS No insurance On March 3 at 11:27 a.m., RCMP received a report of a collision on Highway 3 just east of Grand Forks. “The vehicle was driving just outside of town in the S-turns and lost control on the freshly fallen snow,” said Cpl. Richard Lanz. “The vehicle began fish-tailing and then went off the road right, colliding with the rock embankment on the driver’s side.” As a result of the police attending the accident scene, it was determined that the driver had no insurance and was thus charged with driving without valid insurance, said Lanz. The vehicle was a Dodge Caravan.

About 40 residents attended a Friday afternoon rally at Gyro Park in opposition of the City of Grand Forks’ upcoming residential water meter program. Les Johnson, middle, and others spoke at the gathering against the implementation of the program.
Rally
Continued from Page 1 “We feel concerned. We’d like to have the opportunity to have open discussions where both sides listen to the other. “Different residents would like to have the opportunity to present their concerns or questions and have an open discussion.” Semenoff said that time is so limited during the question period at the
end of each council meeting that the group is having to write letters to the editor to get their message out. “Water is so important,” she said. “This is a huge change to how we approach water—monetizing it. At the rally we didn’t focus on the issues of why people have these concerns or questions, some people did bring it up. The idea is that water is important and worth talking about.” Krog told the Gazette that he attended the rally just to hear what people were talking about. “The weather was nice. There was
a sound system,” he said. “Some of the same issues were brought up. There was also some new stuff about when does the city water and that type of thing.” Krog said he explained to those he spoke to about why council is doing what they are doing in regards to the water meter installation decision. “It was interesting to see what they were doing and hear their ideas,” he said. “But we (council) still believe what we’re doing is the correct thing for the betterment of the city.”
Strike vote sends message to gov’t: Sabourin CRAIG LINDSAY
Grand Forks Gazette
A total of 26,051 teachers, 89 per cent of those who voted, voted yes in a province-wide strike vote conducted on March 4-6. “With this vote, B.C. teachers have sent a very clear message to the B.C. government; it’s time to negotiate in good faith, take back the unreasonable proposals, and offer teachers a fair deal that also provides better support for students,” said BCTF President Jim Iker in a press re-
lease. Iker stressed that there is no immediate job action planned by the BCTF. Norm Sabourin, president of the Boundary District Teachers’ Association, said the union hopes that the strike vote will send a message to the government. “We got a good strike vote. The goal now is not to have to use it. We don’t want to take job action,” he said. “The goal right now to have the strike vote put pressure on the bargaining table. Hopefully, that’s as

far as we have to go. But if, at that bargaining table, the government doesn’t want to treat us fairly—if they don’t want to bargain in good faith—then we may decide to take some form of job action.” Teachers have 90 days from the date of the strike vote to do any job action. The BCTF press release states that if job action is necessary, it would occur in stages but would not: include immediate school closures or disruption for students; ask teachers to stop participating in ex-
tracurricular activities; or affect report cards or communication with parents. “So it would not be a strike with pickets,” said Sabourin. “It could be pulling some administrative duties within schools kind of like we did two years ago. It’s been made clear that report cards would not be affected nor would extracurriculars.” Teachers in B.C. have been bargaining for a new contract for over a year and are currently operating on their old contract.
Head on collision Also on March 3, this time at 4:28 p.m., police received a call of a two vehicle head on collision on Highway 3 at Texas Point at Christina Lake. “The east-bound vehicle lost control on an icy patch of road and went into the west-bound lane,” said Lanz. “The west-bound vehicle tried to avoid the collision but they ended up hitting head-on.” The east-bound driver was a 43 year-old male from Vancouver and drove a Dodge Caravan. The other driver was a 54-year-old male from Salmon Arm in a Subaru Legacy. Charges have not yet been laid. The Salmon Arm driver received minor injuries. Christina Lake B and E On March 5 at 2:14 a.m., police were called to a break and enter at the Tempo Gas Station in Christina Lake. “A single male entered the building and was only there for a short period of time,” said Lanz. “Entry was gained by breaking a window. Only a small quantity of items was stolen.” The case is still being investigated. Road check nabs drunk driver At 7:22 p.m. on March 8, RCMP were conducting a road check in Grand Forks on 72nd avenue. “One person came through the road check who had been consuming alcohol,” said Lanz. “As a result, a roadside alcohol screening device demand was made. The driver blew a warn. As a result the driver was issued a three-day suspension (Immediate Roadside Prohibition).” A warn is a blood alcohol level of between 0.05 and 0.08. Accident caused by rock slide On March 9 at 8:47 p.m., police were called to a motor vehicle collision 10 kilometres west of Grand Forks on Highway 3. “Upon attendance, the officers found that there had been a rock slide,” said Lanz. “The vehicle had hit a rock which activated the airbags in the vehicle. The rock was wedged underneath the front of the vehicle.” There were two people in the vehicle and both received minor injuries.

A shot in the arm
A
B.C. policy requiring healthcare workers to get a flu shot or wear a mask while caring for patients during flu season was upheld in October of last year. The grievance against the policy filed by the B.C. Health Sciences Association was dismissed by arbitrator Robert Diebolt, ruling in favour of the government over the right to choose by 16,000 health-care workers. The policy required health-care workers to be vaccinated against flu each year, or to wear masks while caring for patients during flu season. Although the ruling from the arbitrator said the policy was a valid exercise of the employer’s management rights, it doesn’t make it fair. After it went into effect December 2012 the policy inconvenienced and compromised many people. Some of them ended up penalized, or jobless, as a result of their decision. The merit of a flu shot is debatable and should remain a personal and philosophical decision for most of the population, but it feels unconscionable when an employer mandates all of its employees to get the shot, or else.

Retailers proclaim spring’s arrival by bringing out their seed racks, and the little packages are whisked away by aging gardeners who hurry home to insert the seeds in long rows of plastic trays that, in the controlled environment of a home built greenhouse, will sprout in a few weeks, promising another bumper crop of vegetables. What a great time of year. It’s enough to make Canadians smile even if we hadn’t won both gold medal hockey games. Jim Holtz is a Boundarybased writer.

Letters Chem trail whisperings
To the Editor: Ever wonder about the whisperings concerning chem trails? Folks are afraid to speak out loud, since it’s largely in the realm of conspiracy theory. That’s because the scheme is protected from scrutiny, accountability and even liability. Like the Manhattan Project, but global in scope, it is rooted in military secrecy. The skies are often whiter than normal and dispersal aircraft are usually invisible in the stratosphere. So what’s special about the air we breathe? Metals like aluminum, sulfur dioxide, salts, polymers and other treats. Presumably all in the battle to fight climate change, the side effects to life forms could be far worse. An urgency arises to bring the entire issue into the public democratic sphere before it spirals out of control. Bill Gates recently commissioned a company Aurora Flight Services to customize a fleet of drones to disperse one million tonnes of sulfuric acid per year. Apparently fuel mixtures are routinely modified so that civilian aircraft can be increasingly involved. The authorities involved must break the shroud of mystery or the public will continue to speculate hidden agendas. S. Ewasyn, Grand Forks
to the editor
People still wish to have their say on water meters
To the Editor: Numerous petitions have been brought to council in the past, and never have petitioners been required to obtain approval of council on the wording of a petition. It is not necessary to obtain permission or approval of council on the wording of a petition designed to attempt to change council’s direction. There are a multitude of reasons why people have chosen to sign the water meter petition, and each individual decides for themselves whether their own reason is valid. While some on council may choose to dismiss some opinions stated at the Feb. 24 council meetings, neither council’s dismissive attitude or other individuals’ stated reasons invalidates the petition. The primary purpose of the petition is to let council know the people wish to have a say on this topic. In a response I received from the Hon. Coralee Oakes, B.C. minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, she states: “In response to your concerns regarding infrastructure grant funding, I assure you that the Province of British Columbia does not require local governments to build new assets before applying for funding.” She also stated: “You commented on the installation of water meters, and while they are not a requirement for funding, they do support sound asset management, in turn helping the local government be in a better position to meet funding criteria for drinking water related infrastructure projects.” One of the two infrastructure referendums approved by voters in 2011 refers to paving roads, and replacing sewer and water pipes on 22nd Street and 69 Ave. There is a possibility (never a guarantee) that provincial infrastructure grant funding may be approved for infrastructure projects other than drinking water. This begs the question why has council decided it is mandatory to install water meters in 2014 in order to have the provincial government consider Grand Forks’ infrastructure grant applications? And why is council so determined not to take the time to allow the people to have their say on the water meter issue? Sylvia Treptow, Grand Forks

It is true that dogs are only cute to their owners, but crabby people are crabby to everyone, and all the time. Thumbs up to the volunteers at the mam-
mogram clinic. Thumbs up to the plow truck operator who always plows the snow away from the entrance of our back driveway. It’s much appreciated. Thumbs down to the people who put up posters at the library and do not remove them after the event has passed.

Fighting for the right to know
T
he very mention of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is bound to get a reaction from many residents of Grand Forks because of the publicity they have received during the past few months by the response to the the Grand Forks and Boundary Regional Agricultural Society (GFBRAS) initiative to create a GMO free zone. GFBRAS introduced the issue of GMOs at a city council meeting in the fall 2013 and sponsored an informational forum with a couple wellinformed guest speakers in 2014. GMOs are an issue on which people will quickly take sides. Those who support the genetic modification of foods believe that the work of the huge biotech companies like Monsanto and Dow Agrosciences is necessary to meet the food needs of a growing world population. They also support the ever increasing need to use weed killers like Roundup in huge amounts. Those who oppose GMOs do so mainly because of the unknown immediate and long-term health affects they will have and their impact on environmental ecosystems. Rousing The World Health Organization (WHO) the Rabble defines genetically modified (GM) plants ROY RONAGHAN as organisms whose DNA or genetic makeup has been modified by unnatural or artificial means. Monsanto defines GMOs as “Plants or animals that have had their makeup altered to exhibit traits that are not naturally theirs.” The genetic engineering of plants and animals began in the late 1990s when Monsanto, a huge biotech company engineered Roundup Ready soybeans in 1996 and corn in 1998. The grim reality that the GM plants are part of the food chain, a condition that cannot be reversed. The genie is out of the bottle and there is no way to stuff it back in. GMOs appear in about 80 per cent of conventional food products and it is nearly impossible to avoid them unless they are labelled accordingly. Although the biotech companies tell us that GMOs are safe, there are health concerns for both the humans and animals that eat them. There environmental concerns as well. Environmental scientists do not yet know what long-term impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem function could result from dispersing GMOs and related products such as herbicides and Bt toxins into the environment” The production of GMOs began with the purpose of producing crops that were resistant to plant diseases, insects and viruses. The intent was to increase crop yields and reduce the need for using pesticides. Herbicide resistant soybeans were the first to be produced. The argument that farmers have engaged in modifying plants and animals since farming began is true, but they did not bio-engineer them. Instead they used a slow natural process that involved the selection of plants and animals with desirable characteristics and cross bred them, or in the case of fruit trees grafted shoots from one tree to another. Biotechnology has changed the procedure radically. The GFBRAS proposal for a GMO free zone is a worthy one, but it is impossible to achieve, given that contamination occurs from cross pollination from GMO crops. If the biotech corporations were told to stop producing GMOs immediately, those in the food chain will remain for centuries if not forever. The better option for the GFBRAS would be to campaign for mandatory labelling of food products containing GMOs. For inspiration members might read the blog of Rachel Parent, a 14 year old living in Ontario who founded the Kids Right To Know--Just Label It! campaign. As consumers we have a right to know what we are eating. Without mandatory labelling we are being denied the right to make informed choices. Health Canada does not require the labelling of food products that contain GMOs. Such information is required only if there is some health or safety issue related to a new food product. That policy must change and it will as the body of information on GMOs and health issues grows and the demand for labelling continues. Just label the products and let people decide whether to be part of the experiment or not. Roy Ronaghan is a Christina Lake-based writer.

A metering question To the Editor: I have a question for those complaining about water meters: Should a household that conserves water pay the same water rate as those who consume considerable amounts? Is this just and fair? In July 2004, while living in Grand Forks, I wrote a letter to the editor of the Gazette expressing my observations. I timed the filling up of my bathtub. It took five minutes. When observing my neighbour with two watering guns I calculated he was using the equivalent of 72 bathtubs of water for his morning ‘sprinkling’. This would be the equivalent of about 288 bathtubs per week on a patch of grass to keep it green—never mind their household and vegetable garden water. Meanwhile, each week I was having maybe three showers (about one-and-ahalf bathtubs of water) with sink-baths in-between; using about two bathtubs of water for dishes; one for laundry; two for cooking and drinking; and about three for flushing (when it’s yellow let it mellow). I didn’t water the lawn (let it go its natural course); hand-watered the vegetable garden; and a couple of times over the summer ran a drip hose overnight to the base of the fruit trees. This would amount to approximately 15 bathtubs of water. There’s a big difference between 15 and 288-plus bathtubs of water per week. Should we both pay the same rate? How selfish and spoiled many have become. Has anything changed in 10 years? Rosemary Phillips, Christina Lake

St. Patrick’s Day is upon us.
Who’s paying attention to the WHO?
To the Editor: For years many people have wondered about the effects of electric and magnetic fields (EMF) on human health. More recently, these concerns have extended to radiofrequency (RF) exposure from wireless technologies like cordless phones, cell phones, cell phone towers, GPS devices, “smart” meters and WiFi. In 2011, the WHO (World Health Organization) entered RF radiation to the list of “possible carcinogenic in humans.” Since then, governments around the world have alerted their populations to approach wireless devices with caution. Many people are unaware that wireless devices use microwaves, the same as your microwave oven. Sadly, Health Canada is dangerously behind other countries in recognizing electrosensitivity. RF radiation is measured in milliwatts per square meter (mW/m2). Canada uses ICNIRP’s safety standards, which are 10,000 mW/m2. However, many countries around the world have heeded WHO’s warning and have set their RF safety standards remarkably lower than the ICNIRP. In November of 2013 Professor Emeritus Anthony Miller of the University of Toronto spoke to Toronto’s Public Works and Infrastructure Committee, warning them of the dangers of RF pollution. Miller said that a working group for the
International Agency for Research on Cancer, of which he was the lead scientist, concluded that RF radiation was a probable carcinogen. In view of this, the question must be asked: “How much radiation can we be exposed to before having health consequences?” There is no doubt that we are already being exposed to levels of EMF and RF radiation that are having very serious and real consequences to peoples’ health. Frank Clegg, former president of Microsoft Canada, is now an advocate for wireless radiation safety. In a recent article in Vitality Magazine he tells of one family’s illnesses that encompassed swelling of tonsils, adenoids, sinus troubles, skin rashes, dizziness, lack of sleep. When the father connected the dots between his family’s health problems and the installation of WiFi, he turned it off. The family’s symptoms quickly disappeared. Many people are experiencing “strange” symptoms apparently linked to no particular virus or diagnosable illness, yet the cost of our sick society is borne by our overtaxed health care system and lost productivity. Can the city council of Grand Forks, in all good conscience, press yet another wireless device on us, and yes, I am speaking of water meters, when there is so much evidence that this technology is hazardous to our health?

Smart meter program not coming to city CRAIG LINDSAY
Grand Forks Gazette
The City of Grand Forks will remain smart meter-free, despite a push from both BC Hydro and FortisBC to set up smart (advanced) meters throughout most of the province, says the city’s chief administrative officer. Doug Allin said the city is pleased with their current metering system and has no plans whatsoever to install smart meters. The City of Grand Forks purchases electricity from FortisBC and sells it to the residents. The city also supplies the infrastructure for the electricity, and owns the local utility. “We haven’t considered it,” he said about smart meters. “We’re in the position right now where our metering system works just fine. We haven’t heard anything from our electrical engineers that we should move in that direction.”
Sasha Bird, city manager of development and engineering, said city staff currently read meters through a remote read via radio signal. “They drive by and the signals come into their hand held (device) and we download from the hand held to the computer,” she said. Each household is read once every two months. Bird agreed that a switch to smart meters was not needed in Grand Forks. “There’s no advantage to us at this point,” she said. FortisBC, which covers the area surrounding Grand Forks and most of the West Kootenay/Boundary area, applied and received permission last year from the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) to install smart meters, which they have already began to do. In July of 2013, FortisBC received approval from the BCUC to install advanced (smart) meters in all customer’s houses. Customers who are concerned about
IN BRIEF
the advanced meters can opt for a radiooff option. The cost, which was approved by BCUC in December, is $60 before the meters are installed and $88 afterwards. The customers would also have to pay $18 every two months to have the meter read manually. “It’ll be a new advanced meter, but the radio will be turned off if that’s what the customer wishes,” said FortisBC’s spokesperson Neal Pobran. Pobran said the company hopes to begin exchanging the meters starting this summer. He says they will notify customers by letter a month before to let them know. “We’re expecting to be done all the meter exchanges by the end of 2015,” he said. “We went through a long regulatory process (with BCUC to get the advanced meters approved), we expect there to be at least $13 million in savings which will go back to the customers. We do expect it will be beneficial to rates in the long run.”
RDKB to add more staff The regional district is looking to add a planning manager to its Trail office. In the planning and development department’s five year financial plan the proposed 2014 budget includes an estimated increase in expenditures over the 2013 budget of 0.81 per cent—from a budget of $760,417 to a proposed budget of $766,605 for 2014. The most significant proposed budgetary change for 2014 is the addition of a new planning manager staff position to the department. This is being proposed as part of the RDKB’s recent restructure plan. The restructure plan resulted in the director of planning and development position being changed to a new general manager, operations/deputy CAO role, with the general manager operations/DCAO position becoming responsible for oversight of the planning, building inspection, facilities and recreation and fire departments—with continued direct management of the building inspection department. However, the restructure plan included a provision for the establishment of a new planning manager position to take effect in the 2014 budget year, subject to budget approval.

City to be spared in Canada Post cuts TIMOTHY SCHAFER Grand Forks Gazette
Postal service cuts that have sliced into communities across the nation will not be slashing into the services of Grand Forks. A spokesperson with Canada Post confirmed the city will be spared any of the country-wide changes it has made to the way the nation’s mail is handled. Anick Losier said Grand Forks, although holding city status, is served rural-style with post office boxes—all of which are not affected by the
national postal service’s Action Plan. She also said there were no immediate planned cuts to the staffing levels in the Grand Forks Post Office, but hinted that staffing could eventually be reduced. “Our employees enjoy job security and we intend to respect all clauses of our contract,” said Losier. “Any staffing reduction is planned to be done via attrition.” Over the next five years, Canada Post will transition the one third of the nation’s addresses currently served
Flu shot Continued from Page 1
Hoekstra said if IH would show him how the flu shot was building up his immune system to fight whatever’s out there, he would gladly acquiesce. “If it’s false, why should I adhere to any of that policy because it’s based on a lie?” he said. Hoekstra says he was told by IH after he was fired that he was “insubordinate.” “It’s the first time I’d heard that word,” he said. “I’ve never been insubordinate. I’ve always gone beyond. I’ve never said, ‘while that’s not in my job description, I can’t do it.’ But to me that was against my conscience.” A representative from IH said the company does not discuss individual cases but was willing to talk about the flu shot policy. John Bevanda, corporate director of labour and employee relations for Interior Health, said the policy was approved by the senior executive team in August of 2012. “It came from the medical health doctors provincially who had concerns about flu vaccination levels and the risks of patients essentially catching the flu,” he said. Bevanda said the flu shot mandate was not enforced the first season (2012-13). “It was more to take the opportunity to provide education to staff around the policy and why we were doing what we were doing,” he said. Bevanda said the policy was grieved by the provincial union and ended up going to arbitration. “The arbitrator did dismiss the union’s grievance and determined that it was a lawful exercise of employer management
by door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes. ‘To my knowledge, there are no specific changes in (Grand Forks) but we continually review our retail network to ensure that it serves the needs of the communities we serve,” she said. The city’s member of Parliament, Alex Atamanenko, has spoken out recently about the cuts to postal service in the largely rural B.C. Southern Interior riding. He noted the cut to Saturday service in Greenwood as an example of the lack of sensitivity to the needs of Koote-
rights,” he said. The decision was made during this flu season to enforce the flu shot policy, said Bevanda. “The policy is really one of choice. Employees can choose the flu shot. If they choose not to they are required to wear a mask.” He said there have been a lot of misconceptions about IH forcing workers to take the flu shot. Bevanda said that out of 19,000 employees, IH has had less than a handful of issues. “Out of those handful of people that were potentially in a situation of non-compliance at one time, through education and speaking with them the issues have been resolved in every case except for one,” he said. Bevanda added that 80 per cent of the staff took the flu shots and the remainder are wearing masks. “This policy, like any other policy, when we go to enforce it, it’s done on a case-bycase basis,” he said. “Typically, the manager would meet with the individual, usually with the union representative there. The manager would really investigate and find out what the facts are. “When you’re applying a policy, your goal is to get employees to comply. Typically, if there’s not compliance we wouldn’t start off with termination. We would apply progressive discipline.” Bevanda said that would entail likely starting with a verbal warning, followed by a letter, leading up to one or two suspensions before termination. “It would be the end stage, not where we would start off with,” he said.

nay-Boundary communities. “I don’t think they’re really doing any consultation with the people in the area,” he said. “They’re trying to cut back. They’re trying to cut costs.” The other aspect is, if Canada Post cuts service it cuts hours. So either they lay off someone or someone’s making less money and there’s less money in the community, Atamanenko noted. “They want to cut costs and unfortunately what happens, is these effects are felt a lot more in our small communities,” he said.
IN BRIEF Full forum planned A full community forum on regional, provincial and federal issues is set to take place next week in Midway for the West Boundary. B.C. Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko is hosting an MP community forum in Midway on Thursday, March 20 (7-9 p.m.), a joint meeting for both the area communities of Greenwood and Midway. Since his election eight years ago Atamanenko has regularly hosted meetings in communities throughout his riding in cooperation with MLAs, locally elected officials and other stakeholders involved with issues of concern. He said he favours the forum format because it provides an opportunity for panelists to briefly address the audience and then the meeting is opened to questions from the floor. “Folks can express their concerns and ask questions of all the representatives,” he said. The panelists include Atamanenko, Randy Kappes, mayor of Midway, Colleen Lang, mayor designate, Greenwood, and RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. MLA Linda Larson sends her regrets from Victoria. The Midway/Greenwood forum will be at the Midway Community Hall.

New laws to curb drinking and driving having some effect: police CRAIG LINDSAY
Grand Forks Gazette
New drinking and driving laws are having some effect, albeit minimal, in curbing the prevalence of drunk drivers on Boundary roads, say local police. Grand Forks/Boundary RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison said, although the numbers in the Boundary are a little small to make general conclusions, he believed the new, stricter laws were helping curb drunk driving in the area. “That has definitely had an impact,” he said about the roadside suspensions. “The fact that there are some pretty stiff penalties that go along with it like an immediate roadside prohibition (IRP)” has had an impact. IRP cases have dropped by 50 per cent since 2011 in the Boundary, from 30 to 15 per year, while three-day warnings have risen from six cases to nine. Impaired criminal cases have dropped off the map, from three in 2010 to none in the last two years. Harrison said the new laws are devastating for people because a driver’s licence is suspended and vehicle is impounded. “So even if you want to drive, you have no vehicle,” he said. The “immediate roadside prohibition” program took effect in 2010, replacing most impaired driving charges with administrative penalties, including a three-day driving ban and a $200 administrative fee for those who register between 0.05 and 0.08, if the police officer has reason to believe the driver is impaired. For those who blow in the “impaired” range of 0.08 or higher, police can impose up to a 90-day driving ban, a $500 penalty and impounding the vehicle for 30 days instead of laying a charge. A three-, seven-, 30- or 90day prohibition may be issued at the roadside to alcohol-impaired drivers under B.C.’s Mo-
tor Vehicle Act. Criminal charges may be laid separately. Towing and impounding a vehicle can result in a $700 bill, and a $1,400 mandatory “responsible driver program” may also be required before the driver’s licence is returned. Stricter drunk driving laws including more roadside suspensions and vehicle seizures for drivers as low as 0.05 per cent blood alcohol have helped cut drunk driving deaths by half across the province, Attorney General Suzanne Anton said recently. Government studies show average fatalities from drinking and driving have fallen to 54 a year from a previous five-year average of 112, since the law, known as “Alexa’s Law,” took effect in September 2010. The term Alexa’s Law was named after four-year-old Alexa Middelaer, who was feeding horses at the roadside in Delta when she was killed by a drunk driver in 2008. “After decades of stagnant progress on reducing the number of preventable deaths caused by drinking and driving, as a community we’ve made significant and sustained changes,” said Laurel Middelaer, Alexa’s mother, who has been an advocate on the issue since the tragedy.

Constitional Challenge defeated B.C. police will continue to impose 90-day driving suspensions and seize vehicles of drivers who fail a breath alcohol test, after a constitutional challenge was turned away last week by the B.C. Court of Appeal. “It’s a matter of public safety on our roads, and so we’re carrying on with the immediate roadside prohibition program,” Attorney General Suzanne Anton said. The law was challenged by six drivers who had either blown a “fail” reading on a roadside blood alcohol screening device, or refused to blow. The court found that the roadside suspensions do not supplant the Criminal Code, where police still have the option of laying impaired driving charges. “The legislation does not create a criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, nor does it lead to true penal consequences” when it allows licence suspensions, penalties and impound fees, three appeal court justices agreed. After an initial court challenge, the law was amended to require police to offer a second roadside test to anyone who fails, and to advise drivers they can appeal their suspension to the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles.

Pet of the Week Lucky We have no idea what made us decide on the spur of the moment to go by the SPCA on Christmas Eve five years ago. We parked, looked into the kennel that was right in front of us and there was Lucky giving us an “I want to adopt you look”, and so home he went with us. He and my partner are constant companions, they are seldom separated for more than a few minutes. If one is not looking for the other it is because they’re having a snooze.

Income tax SOS
Governments lose billions of tax dollars every year from the income of individuals and businesses, as well as from unpaid taxes. Tax evasion can take many different forms: Tax shelters, undeclared work, excessive tax planning, omitting to submit an income tax return or to declare revenue earned from investments on the stock exchange, etc. ConsequenCes for tax evaders Tax evasion has major consequences for those who are caught: it can result in a criminal conviction. If they are found guilty, they could receive a heavy fine, go to prison or end up with a criminal record with all the negative repercussions this situation can result in. ConsequenCes for the General publiC This embezzlement of public funds also has consequences for society in general. Governments invest considerable sums of money in attempting to catch poor payers and tax evaders. This money, added to that lost every year due to tax evasion, amounts to a huge loss of revenue for governments. These losses directly affect their level of debt and influence their capacity to provide services and to finance programs in response to the needs of our society; social programs are often the first to be cut. Moreover, lawabiding individuals see their tax burden increased unfairly. Tax evaders, as much as society in general, are affected by tax evasion. So pay what you owe now before having to pay too much at a later date.

While you’re not looking, this is what’s happening to BC’s world renowned recycling program.
Well, lookie here. One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion. That’s definitely not democracy in action. The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.
Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected officials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board. That’s gotta tell you something. Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.
What’s going on here?
Email Christy Clark at premier@gov.bc.ca or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC. This Message is brought to you by:

March 12, 2014 | Welcome to the driver’s seat
The diminutive Fiat 500 goes big The Fiat 500 is cute but might not be the most practical choice as a family vehicle. Sure, it has room for four, a peppy personality (even with its base 101 horsepower engine,) but accessing the rear seats isn’t the easiest and the cargo room is minimal. Enter the all-new-for-2014 Fiat 500L: The “L” stands for “large” so those interior volume deficiencies listed with its pint-sized sibling are no more. Dimensionally, the L is 27 inches longer, 6 inches taller in height and in width and there’s an extra 42 percent when it comes to inside space. But wait, there’s more. Literally. The L comes with two additional doors to allow for easy access to the rear seats. And room for five passengers. It loses a little bit of its pinchthe-cheeks cuteness but its practicality makes up for it. In the driver’s seat, you have an almost unadulterated outward visibility. The 500L features a segment-exclusive glass from the A- to D-pillars that provide nearly 360-degree panoramic views. Parking is easy because you can pretty much see out of all four corners. And the 500L – even with its “large” designation – still fits comfortably into urban settings. Driving the 500L, I noticed it doesn’t have quite the same amount of panache as the 500 Turbo. Granted, it’s a heavier vehicle. But to still keep some of the driving fun behind the
wheel, Fiat has outfitted it with a 1.4-liter MultiAir Turbo engine that provides 160 horsepower, 184 lb-ft. of torque. It’s also is available with two transmission options. Firstly, there’s a 6-speed manual. Then there’s an available 6−Speed Euro Twin Clutch “automatic.” The latter of the two costs an additional $1,450 and came equipped on my 500L Lounge trim. To be honest, this dual clutch transmission was my least favourite part of the vehicle. It felt as though the gearing was off or it had some sort of gremlin inside causing a raucous to disturb the smooth functionality of what I would have expected. On the flip side, there’s nothing that I felt was fundamentally wrong with it. The transmission changed gears, got the car moving and did exactly what it was supposed to do. It also just felt weird/awkward to me and unlike any other dual clutch transmission, I’ve operated. Perhaps it is one of those features I would just need to get used to over time but our time together wasn’t long enough for me to embrace its quirks! There were, however, other highlights of the 500L. The Lounge trim comes standard with leather trimmed bucket seats and front heated seats, perfect for those chilly mornings. An upgraded item that was optioned on the L was the Uconnect system with a 6.5-inch screen (the standard is a 5-inch

Bluetooth, Sirius satellite radio and a Beats Premium Audio System ($500.) If you’re a music lover, this is a great to add to a Fiat. Besides, I find that the Uconnect media interface is one of the most intuitive infotainment systems to work with in the industry. Electronic Stability Control (ESC,) Hill Start Assist and 4− Wheel ABS brakes are part of its DNA along with a ParkView rear back−up camera, dual zone climate controls and steering wheel mounted audio controls. When cruising along at highway speeds, road noise is kept to a minimum, which allowed me to enjoy the music via the Beats stereo system a little more. In corners, the 500L doesn’t have as tight of a setup as the 500, so don’t push it too hard since body roll is more evident. Perhaps what really stands about this compact car is just how much people room there is inside. I never felt cramped nor did my passengers. Not to mention the 633L (22.4 cubic feet) of storage behind the second row seats. The MSRP of the 2014 Fiat 500L Lounge is $25,995. With the options and destination, the price as tested comes to $30,850. Visit www.fiatcanada.com for more information
It happened just after the last flood. TThe winter beat records for snowfall, and serious springtime saw seriou flooding. Basements filled, streets were running with water, and cars were left to float and sink. One day, I walked past a junk yard and saw, what I thought, was a relatively r normal car.
the vehicle could get a person from A to B. Suddenly, I had an idea. Since the car looked fine on the outside, no one had to know its real history. I was a genius. After a night in the garage with a heater and a little scrubbing, I posted an ad on Craigslist: “2004 black Toyota Corolla for sale. No longer need, bought new car. No room in garage – need to sell ASAP!!! Few scratches, otherwise in great condition. Call cell and we’ll talk price.” Thirty minutes later I got a call from a sixteen-year old kid – a little younger than my son. We decided to meet at the local mall at about 6:00. I wonder if his parents knew what he was up to. I arrived at 6:20, telling him I was in a great rush as I had to pick my son up from soccer practice. Turns out he played, too. After some soccer gossip, we got down to business. I knew that a kid his age just wanted a ride to show off to his friends, so we spent little time on the details. I told him the car was in perfect condition and was never in any accidents. “No problems as far as I know,” I said. The kid was sold. He trusted me. I never gave him my full name, and he never gave me his. He gave me the cash, I gave him the car. All was good. I was on my way. A few days later, I saw a TV program that talked about flood damaged vehicles. Apparently, flooding can damage the computer systems, which control things like the brakes and steering. And flood vehicles can’t be registered or insured. Who knew? My mind immediately went to the kid I sold the vehicle to. I felt a twinge of guilt. Then my eyes darted to my stash of cash. Two weeks later, I had another car up for sale. Stay tuned!
I still rremember my first rs time. It was so easy. eas So thrilling. And I walked away with a couple of thousand thousa bucks in my pocket. Not bad for pocket a few hours’ hou work. What’s it doing here? he I thought. Apart from a couple coup of scratches on the outside ou and some moist seats, sea the vehicle seemed roadworthy. road I immediately asked about the car. I was told that th it was found full of flflood ood w water. Its previous owner wanted nothing to do with it. I bought the car for fo a couple hundred dollars. do I didn’t even have to register it in my name. n Originally, I had no n intention of doing what I did. I wanted to sell the car for parts. But, the engine still worked worke and

A structure fire in the basement of a Christina Lake house Tuesday afternoon completely burned the unoccupied home. Around 20 firefighters were on the scene to battle the blaze.
Fire destroys Christina Lake home

A structure fire that broke out in the basement of a Christina Lake house Tuesday afternoon turned the unoccupied home into ash for one family. Although the Adrain family was out of town at the time it was determined the fire at 975 Highway 3, west of the Highway 395 junction, started in the basement. When the basement door was opened and air was allowed in, it spread quickly. “The fire had been burning slowly for some time to make that type of fast spread,” said Christina Lake Fire Rescue fire chief Ken Gresley-Jones. “There was an open stairway in the centre of the building that also allowed for the fast spread of the fire to other floors.” Gresley-Jones was on scene in just under five minutes after the call came in around 1 p.m. on Tuesday, March 4 to find the house fully involved in flames. Grand Forks Fire Rescue
were called immediately—under the mutual aid agreement the two communities have— and they responded with an engine, tanker truck and a fiveperson crew. Later, an additional tanker was brought from Grand Forks, bringing the total firefighters on the scene to 20. Despite efforts to contain the fire, the house was too far from a water source and, until Grand Forks arrived with additional tankers, firefighters were not able to supply enough water, said Gresley-Jones. “In the end the house was a total loss. (That’s) very sad for us as there is nothing worse then losing a home,” he said. “Regardless of the size or structure, it is someone’s castle where all their stuff is.” Firefighters worked on the fire for five hours and, after the roof collapsed in on the basement, it did flare up again about three hours later. Checks were made on the building overnight and there were still “hot spots” buried
Crime decrease in West Boundary PAT KELLY
Boundary Creek Times
Crime is on the decrease in the Boundary and the RCMP annual report to mayors and councils has the numbers to prove it. With the reductions that were realized in 2011 of 19 per cent, 11 per cent in 2012 and a further reduction in 2013 of 23 per cent, the region has now seen crime reduced by 48 per cent since 2010, read the report prepared by Boundary Regional Detachment Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. “Once of the first things that I definitely attribute to the reduction of crime in the Boundary region is the fact that the police department has become totally connected to the communities that we serve,” Harrison recently reported to Greenwood and Midway councils. He said Citizens on Patrol programs, restorative justice programs, citizen programs reaching out and communicating with the communities, especially with the council and the regional district representatives, has reaped great rewards. In Greenwood there was a decrease in crimes against persons (violent crimes or threats of violence or harassment) from seven in 2012 to six in 2013. Property crime went down from 31 to 24 reported incidents. Weapons offences, breaches of probation and bail orders, and the like went down from nine to five. Overall crime went down 25.5 per cent in Greenwood.
under debris, but it was considered out, said Gresley-Jones. This is not considered a suspicious fire but it is still under investigation by the fire commissioner. Gresley-Jones said that the family dog was safe at a neighbour’s house. Fire officials believe the fire was started in the basement by something which had been burning slowly for awhile. “The fellow who was looking after the place thought he smelled smoke so he opened up the basement door,” said Gresley-Jones. “He didn’t see anything but heard a pop and then (saw) flames. I think there was something burning down there and when he opened up the door it let in enough oxygen that the fire just took off.” Note: Gresley-Jones gave a special thank you to the retired Christina Lake firefighters who were on hand to assist in changing air packs, helping fill vehicles and being there for firefighters on the scene. — with files from Craig Lindsay
IN BRIEF Doctor search is on The West Boundary may soon be doing a recruitment drive for another doctor. Greenwood Mayor Nipper Kettle told council at their Feb. 24 meeting that Dr. Henry Ajaero had met with him to tell him that he is planning on moving out of the area, possible sometime this year. When contacted for comment, Ajaero confirmed the story but said he’d not made any firm plans as yet. He told the Boundary Creek Times he would keep his patients informed. Kettle said he immediately contacted Ingrid Hampf, regional director of acute care for Kootenay Boundary with the Interior Health Authority, and was told that she was going to look into it and “try to sort it out as soon as they can.” — Pat Kelly, Boundary Creek Times

Two area motels garner top ranking CRAIG LINDSAY
Grand Forks Gazette
Two local motels have cracked the top 15 at TripAdvisor.com’s list of the top 25 bargain hotels in Canada. Johnny’s Motel in Grand Forks ranked 12th, while New Horizon Motel in Christina Lake came in at 14th in the annual rankings. For Johnny’s Clive Robinson, who owns the motel along with his wife Nicky, being honoured by the popular online motel advisory website was a real thrill. He said the couple has invested a lot in fixing up the motel and making it more attractive to visitors. “To get this ranking on TripAdvisor.com, it comes from building the business up and giving it it’s good name back,” he said. Clive said more people are turning to the Internet and sites like TripAdvisor.com to research motels before travelling, which makes having a good rating all the more important. “Nowadays, people will work out what the good, the
bad and the ugly are before they leave home,” he said. “People are much more educated (about travelling). It’s really changing.” Clive said they’ve received calls from regular customers who have congratulated them on the successful ranking. “It has to make a difference to business in the long run,” he said. “But it puts the pressure on us to keep it up.” The Robinsons moved from England to the Boundary to take over Johnny’s about nine years ago. Clive said it was ‘fate’ that brought them to Grand Forks. “You know, we had a bed and breakfast in England for years,” he said. “We were going to buy in England again but we suddenly realized we could go elsewhere.” Clive said he and his wife would often take cruise ships and visit Victoria and Vancouver and loved British Columbia. They also have family in Vancouver. “We just decided it was time for a move,” he said. “It couldn’t have worked out any
better, to be honest.” Clive said moving within England was harder because if you go more than 10 minutes away you come across a different accent and you’re treated as an outsider. “The experience we’ve had here, people are completely accepting,” he said. Clive said when he first saw the motel and the area he fell in love and knew it was the right place. “It was job done, immediately,” he said. “It’s a welcoming community. It’s fantastic.” Clive said the couple has made many changes to the motel, gutting and changing all the rooms but they’ve tried to keep the general design of its original owner and namesake of the motel, Johnny Goffinet. Clive said there have been generations of families that have stayed at the motel over the years. “I met a lady last week who said she learned to swim in our pool when she was a little girl,” he said. “She brought her whole family back here for a reunion.”
Businesses form coalition to halt recycling plans
IN BRIEF
STAFF
Reports of scammers phoning businesses claiming to be collecting for Yellow Pages advertising have cropped up again in the region and across B.C., and there are simple steps to take to protect yourself. Mark Fernandes, spokesman for the Better Business Bureau in B.C., said scammers claiming to be collecting for Yellow Pages is a chronic problem, with complaints about it coming in almost every month. It’s a variation on an old trick, sending fake invoices for common business supplies such as printer cartridges and paper in hopes of sliding them by a busy office administrator. Fernandes said businesses are also concerned about bad credit reports from missed invoices. Yellow Pages Group spokesperson Fiona Story said the company is a frequent target for this kind of fraud because of its long-standing brand. It sponsors an annual fraud awareness campaign in March, and offers downloadable pamphlets and other resources on its website, www.yellowpages360solution. ca/resources/fraud/. Customers who receive a questionable solicitation can check it by calling the Yellow Pages Group customer service department at 1-877-909-9356. For information on similar suspicious bills or phone calls from businesses other than Yellow Pages Group, contact the Better Business Bureau of Mainland B.C. (mainlandbc.bbb.org).
Grand Forks Gazette
A coalition of business stakeholder groups representing several major sectors of the British Columbia economy announced the launch of a massive province-wide advertising campaign in 130 provincial newspapers to protest regulatory changes involving the recycling of printed-paper and packaging (PPP). The campaign calls on British Columbians to contact Premier Christy Clark and ask her to rethink a plan, which turns over B.C.’s Blue Box recycling programs to an Ontario-based group governed by large multinational corporations. “For months British Columbia business owners have tried unsuccessfully to convince Minister of Environment Mary Polak to rethink the flawed plan her ministry put forth,” says Mike Klassen, B.C. director of provincial affairs for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). “Now business groups representing significant parts of B.C.’s economy have come together to ask the premier to step in to prevent this new red tape that will kill jobs and cause many businesses to fail.” Newspapers Canada and a group of eight business associations representing tens of thousands of B.C. small businesses and their employees in the agriculture, newspaper publishing, landscaping, printing and custom manufacturing, retail, wholesale, food, and waste collection sectors are launching a first series of ads to inform the public about B.C.’s new recycling plan. “We are not disputing that the ultimate goal of the government to maximize recycling of paper and packaging to reduce materials going into the waste stream,” said Marilynn Knoch, executive director, B.C. Printing and Imaging Association. “B.C. businesses are already working to make our province get even more clean and green, so let’s start talking to people from B.C. about how to achieve this. First we must delay the May 19 start of the legislation, and then get businesses back to the table to share their ideas with the government.” The program set out by Multi Materials BC (MMBC) will annex most municipal and regional district curbside/discarded material collection and will cause great harm to the economy: in job losses, business failures and increased costs for B.C. households. The Ministry of Environment-endorsed program creates a monopoly to control much of B.C.’s waste recycling industry.

A second minor hockey banner has been bestowed upon a hard working Grand Forks team. The Grand Forks Bruins pee wee hockey team finished first in the round robin after posting decisive victories over Kaslo and Trail One, and a squeaker (4-3) against Castlegar One (CG1) in the recent West Kootenay Minor Hockey League playoffs The playoff round started with a decisive win over Castlegar Two, setting the stage for a rematch in the finals against CG1. This was the third game of the day for both teams, and only 45 minutes after the last game for our Bruins. “The kids were exhausted and we did our best to get them fed (power bars and bananas) in the break and energized between periods (gummy worms, of course),” said Bruins co-coach Ron Vautour. “We also made sure that they were well hydrated (water mixed with Gatorade) which was evident in the game as almost every kid had to leave the bench for a washroom break.”

It was a hard-fought battle in the final game, with the Bruins prevailing 7-3 and winning the West Kootenay banner. After the game, both teams gathered for a picture to celebrate all of the kids involved. “We did this to acknowledge the efforts of the CG1 team which played hard, but with class and good sportsmanship,” said Vautour. “Steph and I are extremely

IN BRIEF Wolves make the pitch for rugby season Early season pass CRAIG LINDSAY
Grand Forks Gazette
While snow is still on the fields, the cozy confines of the school gym have been the home of the Grand Forks Secondary School boys’ rugby team for their practice to start the season. The team is preparing for a trip to Victoria to face some stiff competition in preparation for their Kootenay league games. “We’ve got about 28 boys that span from Grade 9 to 12,” said head coach Scott Stewart. “We’ve also got seven or eight Grade 8s that are coming out to learn the game. We’re heading down to Scrumfest in Victoria in the second week of April.” Stewart said their league games will start shortly after they return from Vancouver Island. The Wolves will be competing against teams from Rossland, Trail, Nelson, Cranbrook and Kimberley. “The whole idea of going down to Victoria is to expose our kids to a whole different level of play,” he said. “We’ll start our season a little earlier than we’re used to.” The Wolves usually don’t get on the field until about the middle of April, and so have been practicing for two months indoors. After spring break they will head outside for a week and a half before
they go to Victoria. “It’ll be a good chance to get a good start and get our team prepared for our regional competition,” said Stewart. He said the team isn’t big but has plenty of quick guys who don’t mind contact. “The strength of our team this year will be in the open field and in the rucking.” Stewart, who is the principal at the school, is in his fourth year of coaching at GFSS and said this will be one of the best teams he has seen here. “We’ve been focusing on this group for the last three years,” he said. “We’re at a level where we have a greater number of kids displaying a decent quality of skill. We’re pretty confident about the group of kids.” On the girls’ side Stewart is also coaching the GFSS senior girls’ rugby team which he says has 12 girls that have been coming out. “This is the first year we’ve had girls in awhile,” he said. “We’ve got about 12 to 14 girls who are just learning the game. We’re just making sure we have commitment and then we’ll start teaching some skills.” Stewart said the team will look at playing games against the team from L.V. Rogers in Nelson as well as Mount Baker from Cranbrook.

There is much merit in planning ahead. For those that buy their 2014-15 season pass for Phoenix Mountain at this year’s prices they will ski and board for free at Phoenix until the end of this season. Winter conditions have brought new snow so the skiing and boarding is looking great even though spring is happening at Phoenix Mountain. There are more powder days and bluebird spring days to come in the month of March, said Dylan Zorn, president of the Phoenix Mountain Alpine Ski Association. The Phoenix Mountain board of directors also wanted to announce a thank you, Zorn added. “We had fantastic support this season and really appreciate the Phoenix spirit offered by so many people and businesses,” he said. Zorn said Phoenix’s Operation Snowflake has raised over $13,000 with contributions from 260 snowflakes purchased by 170 individuals and businesses. Ski and ride free in March when you purchase the early-early 2014-15 pass at the rental shop or phone 250-442-5870.

Although school basketball may be finished, there’s still a way for young players to work on their skills this spring. For the third straight year Grand Forks Secondary (GFSS) principal Scott Stewart is running Boundary Basketball Development Program for boys and girls in Grades 4-7. “This is a basketball development program that the high school sponsors,” said Stewart. “We have a number of our senior students as active coaches. We’ve put
together a two-nighta-week program focusing on developing skills in kids in Grades 4 through to 7.” The players, who are split into two groups by age, work on skills on Tuesdays with younger coaches. On Tuesdays, Stewart himself teaches skills for half the session and the players then play games for the rest of the time. “Tuesdays, the kids work with their high school mentors and on Thursdays I work on specific skill development as a whole. The high school coaches circulate and provide extra instruction for the kids. We finish the
night with a half-hour game.” Stewart said the program was created with the intention of building the skill base of the kids in Grand Forks. “We’ve opened the program to kids at Christina Lake, Perley Elementary and Hutton Elementary.” Last year the league was sold out and even had a waiting list. “We’re probably looking at the same thing this year,” he said. “It’s just a matter of getting the information out there.” Players can still register with the program which is run out of the high school. Par-
ents need to contact Stewart at GFSS. The cost is $50 per player and the program goes twice a week for seven weeks. The program, and the young players, also benefits from having players from the senior team come out and coach. “Our plan has always been to give our kids at the high school an opportunity to do some mentoring,” he said. “We benefit with our students getting leadership experience, and the elementary kids benefit from getting instruction from older kids they look up to and see what playing at the high school is all about.”

Imagination can translate into reality
T
here is a story about a taxi driver who was thought to be very well travelled. His passengers, whether occasional or frequent, found him to be an enthusiastic conversationalist, eagerly asking them questions about their own hometowns or destinations and offering lots of information and insights from his own recollections—or so they thought. As it turned out, this man never ventured more than a few hours’ drive from the city in which he lived and worked. Or at least, his body never had. Through years of taking active interest in other people and also through reading and other studies, he knew a great deal about places where he had never been. He had a mind that integrated history, culture, architecture, the arts, politics and ever so much more. There are similar stories about people in prisons or prisoner-of-war (POW) camps who rose above their circumstances and gained new skills and education; some even taught each other how to play musical instruments, though they literally didn’t have any. They used their imaginations and simulated the playing. And then, upon
z View From The Pulpit
release from the POW camp, many went on to perfect their skills. Travel is a wonderful thing, but even more so is the value of being a sincere listener, seeking opportunities to learn and be enriched on a daily basis, translating ideas into reality, and nurturing a vivid imagination. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, a Central Figure of the Baha’I Faith, wrote: “The body of man may travel for a few miles and become fatigued, but the spirit untrammeled may go throughout the immensity of space … Furthermore man sees in the world of dreams … There is no doubt that a reality exists other than the outward, physical reality.” Elsewhere he identified imagination as one our five inner powers, the others being common faculty (i.e. the link between outward and inner powers), thought, comprehension and memory.
Considering the potential of imagination, we may wonder what else we can imagine and bring into being. What if each of us imagined being more productive and helpful to our friends? What if members of a family imagined a happier home? What if a majority of people in a community imagined a cleaner environment? A new reality becomes possible if enough people share a vision and work together to bring that vision to fruition. Through unity of vision we are empowered to achieve great results. Through commitment and effort, trust in others, clear and honest communication and patience, we can accomplish the practical steps. None of this is easy, but it can happen. If that taxi driver can travel around the world without leaving his hometown, and if POWs can learn to play the guitar, then surely we can improve our own selves, neighbourhoods and communities. It begins with imagining what we want to experience in reality. And then we can move actively from inner space to more outward spaces. By Shelley Grandy on behalf of the Baha’i community of Grand Forks.
Keeping up with the work of legislature
F
or those of you who follow the proceedings in the provincial legislature you will very likely see the best and the worst of the process of government. It is a process steeped in tradition and is somewhat archaic and slow to respond to change. However, I believe that those who put their names on a ballot to represent the people in their areas do it with the best of intentions to make positive changes to benefit everyone and, though it sometimes seems that nothing is happening, the reality is much different. There are currently several pieces of legislation that are moving through this session, and some will have a direct benefit to the Boundary-Similkameen. Just a few of those are: the Off Road Vehicle Act, in response to a request from the Outdoor Recreational Council of BC that has its roots as far back as 2002, the Missing Persons Act in response to the Opal Report, changes to the Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Statues Amendment Act. In total there are 13
From Victoria Linda Larson bills before the legislature at this time, with many more to come. Long, hard road Government Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) work very long days, in fact most MLAs start before 7 a.m. and work until at least 6 or 7 p.m , even on Thursdays. This makes for very long days indeed, when you consider that many of us don’t arrive home until well after midnight and need to be in our constituency office, or community events early on Friday morning. Travelling back to Victoria on Sunday also makes for a very short weekend. It helps that sessions are compact, and we are able to spend much of the year in our communities working. The work of provincial legislature In order for the government to introduce legislative changes, MLA’s have much to do in our communities while the legislature is not in session.
Most important is talking to British Columbians about issues that matter to them. As you may know there were many government committees touring the province through out the recent Parliamentary recess, gathering information and now presenting these findings to the legislature. The real work of government happens on the ground, around the province, talking to all of you and taking this information and concerns to Victoria for action. While there is certainly an entertainment aspect to watching proceedings in the house, the real work is often missed by the public who only see the “showmanship” that has become part of legislative debate. I am fortunate to be able to participate in this process and I can assure you that all MLAs work hard to make this beautiful province a great place to live. Local news • Congratulations to Greenwood for placing third this year in the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Competition in the municipal water category. This is the third
time Greenwood has been in the top three in this category. There were 100 entrants, mostly from Canada and the U.S., but some were also international entrants. • Congratulations to Chief Clarence Louie and all members of the Osoyoos Indian Band (OIB) on the official opening of N’KMP Corners.
