POLICE BRIEFS

Car vandalized On March 18 at 8:30 a.m., RMCP received a report of a vehicle being egged and toilet papered over night.

The incident occurred on 78th Avenue. So far, police have no witnesses or suspects. The same vehicle was egged and toilet papered on March 19 and that was reported at 1:36 p.m.

“This time they went a little farther,” said Harrison. “This time they decided they would slash the tires on the car. The complainant has no idea why it’s happening. I’m certain the young lady involved would like to know who’s got it out for her. It’s obviously a targeted incidence. None of the other vehicles in the area were damaged in any way.”

The matter is still under investigation.

Anyone with any information is urged to call Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Single vehicle MVA There was a single motor vehicle accident on March 22 at 6:03 p.m. at Eholt Pass on Highway 3.

“A black SUV went down an embankment near the rest stop at Eholt,” said Harrison. “There was minor damage to the vehicle. It appears the vehicle entered the ditch at a slow speed.”

There were no injuries. The driver was a 34-year-old from Coquitlam.

Zucco’s story to appear on Knowledge Network CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A local resident who fought against the Worker’s Compensation Board (WCB) in the 1950s will be appearing in Working People: A History of Labour in British Columbia, a documentary appearing on Knowledge Network on April 3.

Bea Zucco, who lives in Grand Forks with her daughter Sylvea, will be appearing in the third part of the three-part series.

After her husband contracted silicosis in 1955, a fatal lung disease, from working in mines in the West Kootenay/Boundary, Zucco took up the cause to get proper compensation for her, her husband and her four children.

The story is told using archival images submitted to the producer, Landrock Entertainment, by Zucco herself.

Zucco was born in Nelson and came over to Grand Forks where she lived up the North Fork for many years. Her husband, Jack, was a miner and they lived in mining camps. Zucco said she was contacted about a year ago by Erica Landrock, president and producer for Landrock Entertainment, about appearing in the documentary series.

“My husband was in the mining business so we moved place to place,” said Zucco. “We were in Salmo when he got sick (with silicosis). When he got sick we were living in a mining camp and I was caring for three small kids.”

She said because he had also had TB (tuberculosis), the government refused to acknowledge that he had silicosis.

Zucco said every time she brought up a new doctor’s report stating Jack had silicosis, WCB would have another commission and turn them down.

Zucco became well known in the media

Silicosis is a lung disease that is caused by inhaling tiny bits of silica. Silica is a common mineral that is part of sand, rock and mineral ores like quartz. People who work in jobs where they could breathe in these tiny silica bits—like sandblasting, mining, construction and many others—are at risk for silicosis. The silica dust can cause fluid buildup and scar tissue in the lungs that cuts down your ability to breathe.

Silicosis cannot be cured.

“I spoke with her about the project and whether she had any personal photos,” said Landrock. “She was very humble. I think she was amazed that we were interested in her story. It must’ve been quite a traumatic time in her life. She ended up entrusting us with her scrapbook which had all these articles written about her in the ‘50s as well as photos and her personal journal documenting that whole time.

When I got the box (in Vancouver), I just said ‘yes, we have to do this story.’”

Landrock said that Zucco’s story is the one that has touched her the most.

“She’s really been an inspiration for me,” she said. “When most people watch the series and of the 30 stories we’ve done, they’ll say, ‘That Bea Zucco who fought the WCB, what’s her story?’ She’s really made an impact on people.”

It was a tragic loss for her, said Landrock, but what’s fascinating is that throughout her campaign of trying to get her husband’s pension, the B.C. government actually made legislative changes that would allow WCB to award Jack’s pension to Bea and her children.

It wasn’t about just the money, said Landrock. “She wanted to make a difference for herself as well as for others going through the same problem.”

in those days for her battle when she resorted to steps such as sitting on the steps of the legislature in protest against the government and WCB. She also drove around the province in a “crusade car,” donated by a dealership, telling people about her battle.

“They would say they dropped (the case), then I would go back and do something else,” she said.

Jack died in 1958 before any final settlement was made. After his death, a pathologist found he had ‘advanced silicosis’ and eventually Bea and her children received proper compensation from WCB. “It was quite a process, but I had a lot of help,” she recalled.

Back then, WCB had a silicosis pension but they would never award it, Zucco said.

“Now, I’m very proud that if a miner gets silicosis he gets the pension. A lot of good things came out of it.”

Her battles also led to better ventilation in mines. Zucco’s story has also been told on a CBC special and she appeared at gallery 2 in February of last year as part of the living book series. Erica Landrock, who produced Working People: A History of Labour in British Columbia for the Knowledge Network, said using Zucco’s story for the series was an easy choice.

“We had several researchers working on the project,” she said. “Her story came up as a potential one based on what happened with her and WCB. We ended up tracking down some great shots from the CBC about when she was on the steps of the legislature building doing her sit-down protest.”

Since the series is all told through archival footage, Landrock and her researchers needed old photos and managed to track down Zucco.

Solar panels and batteries stolen On March 17 at approximately 10:30 a.m., Emcon reported that someone had stolen one of the solar panels and batteries from one of their portable signs that are on the side of road at Highways 3 between Grand Forks and Christina Lake.

“The solar panels and batteries were worth about $2,000,” said Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison.

“They were subsequently recovered by a (RCMP) member in Castlegar.”

The individual, who hails from Nelson, was charged with possession of stolen property.

here is a lot you can read into statistics.

A lot that isn’t there, that is, and is likely just hearsay.

In reference to the city’s population declining, a drop of less than one per cent is not something that needs to be focused on.

Sure, it wasn’t a rise of one per cent, but there are many inconsistencies in the data gathering that could lead for much misinformation.

The province’s statistical wing uses a regression model with symptomatic indicators, pulling the number of people in a certain community from such things as health client registries and residential hydro hook-ups to gauge population growth from one year to the next.

Although these estimates assist in local and provincial government planning processes, they are by far an accurate way to gauge a community’s population.

And in the case of Grand Forks, like the rest of the province, the “hidden” population of an area can account for a very large percentage of population.

Populations designated as on the verge of decline could rise in summer and decline in winter as work becomes available. And not everyone who lives here can be tracked through the health registry or hydro.

But rest assured, in comparing the health of the city’s population with the rest of the province—on economies of scale—the city of Grand Forks is a thriving place to call home, like several thousand already do.

Gates illustrates public education’s first priority second opinion

T

JIM HOlTZ

he 2014 Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) conference was held in Vancouver last week.

You could have attended if you had had $8,500 lying around. Or maybe not. The people at TED have the right to refuse attendance to anyone they don’t believe is an appropriate attendee.

Bill Gates is always welcome, of course and has spoken at the conference many times. Bill and his wife Melinda have chosen as one of the goals for their vast philanthropic Bill and Melinda Gates Fund the improvement of public education in the United States.

It is a worthy goal, though in Vancouver Bill admitted that they have not always spent their millions of dollars wisely in the pursuit of better education.

After funding a wide vari-

ety of projects that tested different models of schools, classroom organization, technological advances, motivational techniques, and after devising a vast array of questionnaires, diagnostic tools, testing instruments, and evaluation techniques, Gates concluded in an interview with TED conference curator Chris Anderson, “But the thing we learned, and what turned out to be the fundamental key, is a great teacher in front of the classroom.

“If you don’t have an effective teacher in front of the classroom, I don’t care how big or small that school is, you are not going to change the trajectory of whether that student will be ready for college.”

What a revelation! He needn’t have wasted millions of dollars finding that out; he could have asked educators or listened to the stories of a majority of people about favourite teachers and the positive impression they left on them during their school years.

It is easy to find out who the best teachers are; you poll

the teachers in every school asking who the best teacher is.

The teachers themselves know.

They can tell because they notice that year after year, the most enthusiastic, best performing students emerge from that teacher’s classroom and go on to the next grade level.

Gates’ problem in his approach to improving education is that he is a data guy.

In the past, he always looks to data and statistics to give him direction and prove his theories.

He has alternately looked at statistics and argued that the best performing students are those that have access to technology, or come from small schools, or get 1.5 hours of exercise or eat three meals a day, etc., etc.

Therefore he finances programs that provide that which his data reveals are important.

The really important components for quality education are those things that are not quantifiable: cultural emphasis on and support of educa-

tion, parental reinforcement of that emphasis, student motivation and teacher quality.

Good teachers are able to instil in students a positive image of themselves as learners as well as a sense that learning is important and valuable, all the while presenting them with a significant and powerful curriculum, adapting it to suit a variety of learning styles and abilities.

The Ministry of Education needs to recognize what Bill Gates spent millions learning and begin to publicly value teachers, rather than constantly sparring with them and ignoring their insight into what is important in the classroom.

The current Liberal, free enterprise government should have no problem listening to the world’s number one capitalist when he says that attracting and holding onto the best and most enthusiastic teachers should be public education’s first priority.

Water metering: Why is there a difference?

To the Editor: There is some opposition to the water metering project which will go ahead this year in Grand Forks. Some people are concerned that there will be a higher price to pay for water after these meters will be installed.

On one hand water metering it is a tool which can help with more careful water use: you use more, you pay more.

All these toys are nothing else just a health damaging devices. It is not a secret that they emit a microwave radiation which is bad for human health, animal health and the environment. Some people are getting health problems because of these toys, and they do not know where is the source of these problems.

The bad part of all of that is, that so called authorities and corporations who make money on all of that, do not even ask the public about people’s opinion regarding the safety of these devices. Where they can be installed and when? Are people okay with that or not? At the same time

all of us are affected with a negative influence of that questionable technology, but nobody even asks us, if we want that or not.

B.C. towns and cities were converted into “microwave chambers” recently, so much microwave radiation around.

Here are the measurements in micro-watts; • Rural areas of Grand Forks and other rural areas – less than 1; • Grand Forks downtown area, average pulsing 15, with peaks pulsing 30 plus; • GF Overwaitea area, average pulsing around 50, with peaks pulsing 300 plus; • Grand Forks Extra Foods area, average less than 1, with peaks around 1; • Greenwood downtown area, average pulsing 400 plus, with peaks pulsing 900 plus; • Kelowna Home Depot area, average pulsing 500 plus, with peaks pulsing 1,100 plus.

Maybe it is a time to ask so called authorities and corporations to have a more safe approach to our health.

Do they want to measure

the use of electricity, gas and water more precisely? That is okay, but install wired meters, without any antennas and health damaging components inside. Some utility companies complain that installing wired meters is expensive and cost inefficient. But our health is even more expensive than that. They will save some money with installation of wireless meters instead of wired ones, but we will lose even more our money when we will visit our doctor and our pharmacy more often.

Some city hydro meters were measured in different parts of the town and are showing average pulsing radiation around 10, with very often peaks pulsing 200 plus, some of these peaks are 1,000 and more. A few Fortis, similar digital hydro meters were measured showing a low level of radiation, less than 1.

Maybe somebody from Grand Forks City Hall would answer that question: Why is there a difference?

Thumbs Up to hardworking teachers Thumbs down to people driving downtown that use their horns to say ‘Hello’ to someone on the street. It upsets other drivers as they may be on alert of an impending accident when you’re doing this. The horn is there for a reason, not to say ‘Hi’ to all your buds.

Thumbs down to the “Settle Down” part of the Grand Forks sign. It sounds like telling a five-year-old to go to their room.

Water Sustainability Act called a historic achievement

I

f you are the head of an oil or gas company in B.C. that uses millions of litres of fresh water in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) operations you will be happy with the new Water Sustainability Act (WSA). If you are an ordinary citizen who wants to get a water license to use water from a water source where other licenses exist you will be disappointed with the new act.

The WSA was tabled the in the legislature by Mary Polak, Minister of Environment on May 11, 2014 as a replacement for the existing Water Act which is 105 years old. The old act was passed in 1909 when Richard McBride was premier. The population of B.C. was 350,000, today it is over 4.6 million.

In a news release on March 14, Polak stated, “The development of the new Water Sustainability Act is a Rousing historic achievement for British the Rabble Columbia. The act will respond to ROY RONAGHAN current and future pressures on our fresh water--including groundwater-and position our province as a leader in water stewardship.”

Only after it is has been in effect for a few years will we know whether the minister’s assessment is accurate.

There was an opportunity for public input during the creation of the WSA and minister Polak recognized that contribution. She stated that thousands of thoughtful comments, ideas and recommendations for improvements to the system of water management were received from individuals, stakeholder groups and First Nations organizations.

During McBride’s time public input was not a consideration.

How have those who have been waiting for the WSA to reach the Legislative Assembly reacted? Gwen Barlee, executive director of the Wilderness Committee described WSA as “... a piece of legislation that has good intentions, but doesn’t have necessary enforceable language and mandatory standards to actually protect freshwater in B.C.” Deborah Curran, a lawyer at the University of Victoria Law Centre tweeted, “Overall, one of the best pieces of environmental legislation in the past 15 years.”

Lawyers at West Coast Environmental Law were “fairly impressed,” still they identified a number of concerns and disappointments such as those below. The WSA has gone a long way toward bringing the Water Act into the 21st century, but it does not: • Recognize water as a human right and a public trust.

• Recognize First Nations rights and title.

• Respect a community’s right to have a say about projects that abuse or pollute water in their region.

• Respect the right of affected public to participate in water licensing applications.

• Restrict the withdrawal of massive amounts of water by companies engaged in fracking operations for gas and oil as is the case in northeastern British Columbia.

• Charge large bottled water companies enough for the water they draw from aquifers, streams and lakes.

• Interfere with the “First in Time First in Right” (FITFIR) system of water allocation to groundwater licenses that were obtained under the old water act. Some of these licenses are decades old and when they were first issued water flows were not a concern.

There is still an opportunity to offer thoughts about how water pricing should be approached. The deadline for comments is April 8, 2014. Post them at: engage.gov.bc.ca/watersustainabiltyact/. It is expected that the WSA will be brought into effect during the spring 2015 when supporting regulations are developed and finalized. New water fees and rentals will be established before the act takes effect.

Will the WSA and its regulations be strong enough to protect what minister Polak calls “our most precious resource?”

Perhaps by 2020 we will know.

Boundary March madness continues

F

or sports fans, March Madness is the ultimate basketball tournament featuring future NBA stars, Cinderella stories, teamwork, and last-second heroics.

While recent events around the Boundary may lack future NBA stars, there has been a lot going on to keep residents busy.

Cinderella may reside in the efforts of citizens around here, and throughout the province, to attempt to save the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) against the big bad government and the evil stepmother (Christy Clark).

I was able to only catch about a half-hour of former MLA and cabinet minister Corky Evans’ presentation due to the conflict with the city’s community engagement event.

Evans, who has a farm in Winlaw, certainly knows what he is talking about and shows real passion.

As for the community engagement evening at the Omega on the same night, it was truly engaging.

Different groups came up with different ideas of what are the important issues in Grand Forks. It was great to see it

Letters

On the Ball craig lindsay went beyond water meters and taxes. Some great ideas came up, such as business retention and opportunities for youth in the community.

Seeing businesses like Work ‘n Play close shop here is disheartening so it’s good to see people engaged in trying to come up with possible solutions.

As for last second heroics, it looks like some people around town have not given up the fight against water meters even though at this late date it would be a near miracle much like Christian Laettner’s lastsecond shot to beat Kentucky in 1992’s Elite 8.

If you don’t follow basketball, bear with me, just be sure it was an amazing, unbelievable shot.

Still, as a great person once said, never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world.

Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

As for teamwork, underdog teams like Butler and Wichita State certainly show that a group of hard-working blue-collar players can come together and achieve much, much more than the sum of their parts.

The recent Grand ForksChristina Lake regional trails plan agreement is certainly a great example of that. Some people may have a preconceived notion that ATV users are out riding around mudbogging and intentionally running over people and small animals in their quest for thrills.

That is certainly not the case here, as the Grand Forks ATV Club is the group behind the recent trail users agreement which, amazingly, has brought together 24 or so diverse user groups that are now working together for the greater good.

About 90 per cent of the groups were in attendance at the proposal meeting last week and look to be very active in seeing the project through.

Docking stations, signage and better education can only help improve the use of the trails for everyone.

to the editor

The flu shot confusion a tale of misinformation To the Editor: I am writing in response to the article “Flu shot disagreement leaves man jobless” written by Craig Lindsay and featured in the Grand Forks Gazette on March 12, 2014.

The article includes quotes that contain incorrect and potentially damaging information about immunization.

It is important that your readers have access to factual information in order to make informed decisions about their health.

Influenza vaccine critics will often argue they don’t need to get the flu shot because they have healthy immune systems.

What they don’t consider is the impact of their decision if they do get sick with the flu and pass the illness along to a person who is more susceptible to severe influenza illness—like their elderly mother, their neighbour’s new baby or, in this case, the patients they care for.

Flu shots are the most effective way to prevent serious outcomes due to influenza infection.

The more influenza vaccinations you get in your lifetime, the stronger you make your immune system, by building up a larger panel of antibodies to many different influenza strains over time.

All vaccines, including the flu shot, have to meet stringent safety standards; the influenza vaccine, like many other vaccines, has been in use for decades and is very safe.

Vaccines do not create disease, they prevent it.

In fact, vaccines have saved more lives in the past 50 years than any other health intervention.

Few would argue that people should not have protected themselves against polio and just as the polio vaccine saved lives, so too does flu immunization.

I would strongly encourage your readers to get their vaccine information from credible and balanced sources such as the ImmunizeBC website at www.immunizeBC. ca or their local public health nurse.

Sue Pollock MSc, MD, FRCPC Interior Health

Food for thought on a question of health care To the Editor: The article relating to Mr. Hoekstra and his experience with a health care authority was very disturbing.

I find it hard to believe a health care authority would terminate a good employee based solely on his failure to adhere to such a draconian policy.

It is interesting they would take such a hard line.

I wonder if the minister of Health took a similar approach when dealing with management and executives of one of the health authorities?

You see, in a June 21, 2013 communique from Health Minister Terry Lake, “Clear and specific direction, that wages for all managers and executives across the public sector were to be frozen.”

In spite of this clear direction they gave themselves a raise.

Then they got caught. The communique fails to disclose if any of the management or executives were dealt with in a similar manner as Mr. Hoekstra.

Food for thought.

Home grows can continue pending legal challenge

IN BRIEF

JEFF NAGEL

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations began a prescribed burn in the Johnstone Creek area, starting on Tuesday, March 25.

The timing of the burn was dependent on weather and site conditions. The burn is being conducted about five kilometres west of Rock Creek.

Smoke and flames may be visible from Rock Creek, the Johnstone Creek Provincial Park campground, downslope properties and along Highway 3.

This 31-hectare controlled burn is part of the provincial government’s strategy to restore and maintain forest and range ecosystems. The fire will help re-establish appropriate ecological conditions, maintain habitat for wildlife and reduce forest fuel loads. The goal of the burn is to mimic a naturally occurring ground fire and reduce the level of dead and combustible material in open forest areas. Removal of these forest fuels helps reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfires. Fire can also discourage insect infestations and help native, fire-adapted plant species to reproduce.

When they become available, photos of the burn will be posted on Facebook at: www.facebook. com/BCForestFireInfo.

Black Press

Medical marijuana users have won a last-minute court reprieve that allows them to keep growing their own pot at home instead of destroying it and turning to new federally licenced commercial suppliers.

Federal Court Judge Michael Manson granted a temporary injunction Friday for those with a personal production licence to continue to grow medical marijuana, pending the outcome of a constitutional challenge still to be heard.

Health Canada’s new regulation outlawing personal growing had been slated to take effect April 1, but the decision throws a wrench into the Conservative government’s pot reform plans.

Medical marijuana users and their supporters are jubilant.

“I’m very excited,” said Sandra Colasanti, a member of a coalition seeking to repeal the new rules who said she doesn’t use pot but her husband needs it.

“I’ve seen a lot of people who have everything from MS to cancer to full-blown AIDS and I’ve seen people die if they don’t have access to this.”

She said she’s optimistic the action launched by Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy will succeed when it goes to trial.

No date has been set but it’s expected sometime this year.

The federal government cited widespread problems with the current system of permitted medical marijuana users growing pot at home or having other designated growers do it for them. The injunction doesn’t stop the launch of new commercial pot producers, but it throws into doubt how large their market will be if many users don’t have to immediately switch to them for their supply.

Growers licensed under the old system had been ordered

by Ottawa to give written notice by April 30 that they’d halted production and destroyed all leftover pot or face potential police enforcement. Some municipalities had been poised to send in inspection teams or police to root out the legal medical grow-ops they were aware of come April.

Chamber Continued from Page 1

In the past the two groups have not worked together despite having an overlapping area.

“We just hadn’t had the conversation of how we could see these two groups working together,” said Wilson. “It took Jim (Nathorst, president of the Greenwood Board of Trade) and I sitting down and having a meeting and then bringing it forward to the board and vot-

ing it through and saying, ‘Yes, we want to partner. Yes, we want to work together.’”

Wilson said he approached Nathorst after reading an article in the Boundary Creek Times about him expressing interest in working with the BCRCC. The BCRCC is also involved with the Greenwood Economic Development Committee.

A couple of upcoming events in Greenwood that the two organizations will work together on are the Founder’s Day event in July and a Biz after Biz event.

“The chamber can help with Founder’s Day with advertis-

Prescribed burn scheduled

ing and promoting it and help in ways we weren’t able to last year,” said Wilson. “And viceversa. The board of trade can help where the chamber needs help such as doing a Biz after Biz there.”

Wilson said the chamber and board of trade still have to work out a number of details including how to go about having businesses in Greenwood join both groups.

“In theory, the idea is that we could work out a deal so that businesses there could join both organizations,” he said.

“It’s pretty exciting.”

Two GFSS students rise to top in region skills competition CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A couple of local high school students did very well at their first skills competition held in Cranbrook on March 1.

Jesse Plotnikoff came first, while Ethan Peterson placed second in the competition, which was held at the College of the Rockies.

The competition featured students from throughout the Kootenays competing in welding, cabinet making, carpentry and automotive service.

Peterson heard about the competition from his welding teacher at Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS), Mr. Penner.

“He brought it up in class one day and I was interested,” he said. “I started looking into it. I’ve always had a passion for welding. I’m hoping to be able to do it after graduation. I’m hoping to get my Level C ticket when I’m done here (at GFSS).”

Peterson said the competition in Cranbrook was a good chance to challenge himself. He prepared for the competition by “studying different blue prints” and “working on his welds and cuts.”

“It was a really good experience,” he said. “We had to write a 30-question theory test to begin. We then had to make what was called a widget to display all our cuts and welding techniques. It was a different experience.”

Peterson said the equipment they used was similar to what he’s used to using but just much bigger.

Peterson said he and Plotnikoff were pleased with their results.

“We went into it thinking we didn’t know what we were getting into,” he said. “We didn’t feel super-comfortable doing the contest, but I guess our skills put us over the top. We were pretty excited about it.”

Peterson said he learned a lot about welding from the competition and the instructors there. He said his blueprint reading and fabrication in general need some fine-tuning.

“You have to make sure you lay everything out correctly,” he said. “You have to make sure everything is correct before you start your cuts or any of your welds. I want to keep pushing myself.”

Peterson, who is in Grade 12, is hoping to get an apprenticeship for next year before moving on to Nelson’s Selkirk College to get his welding ticket.

Identity fraud plagues area Police are warning people about an increase of identity fraud in the area.

Gordon Sims, crime prevention officer with the Trail and Greater District detachment, said people need to safeguard themselves and keep a few things in mind to avoid being a victim of this crime.

Identity theft is the preparatory stage of acquiring and collecting someone else’s personal information for criminal purposes, said Sims.

“Identity fraud is the actual deceptive use of the identity information of another person in connection with various frauds,” he said.

Quick tips to prevent identity theft: • Never throw away bank records or other documents in a readable form.

• Never give your credit card number over the telephone unless you make the call.

• Never give your PIN number to anyone.

• Reconcile your bank account often and notify your bank of discrepancies immediately.

• Watch your account activity online.

• Be cautious about sharing your personal information.

If you think you are a victim: • Notify your bank or credit card company immediately.

• Contact Equifax 1-800-465-7166 and Trans Union (877) 525-3823 and request a “fraud alert” be placed on your credit record.

Population drops across Kootenay-Boundary region STAFF

Grand Forks Gazette

Population in communities and rural areas across the Kootenay-Boundary is dropping and Grand Forks is no different.

According to figures recently released by BC Stats in the 2013 Sub-Provincial Population Estimates, Grand Forks had its population decrease by .9 per cent, a 36-person drop in 2013 compared to the previous year, down to 4,026.

The only Kootenay-Boundary community that saw any increase over last year was Rossland, rising two people from 3,588 to 3,590.

Of all provincial regions the Kootenay-Boundary saw the strongest rate of decline (2.1 per cent) in 2013, with a drop in population of 645 persons.

Trail accounted for most of the decline, dropping 3.1 per cent to 7,307, a decrease of 237 people. Last year the Silver City decreased 1.9 per cent and has dropped almost 400 people since 2011 (7,693).

The rural areas of KootenayBoundary fell 3.3 per cent (327 people) to 9,498 people. In the Boundary region, the City of Greenwood saw six fewer people in 2013, a .9 per cent drop to 699.

Midway lost two people in 2013 to record a .3 per cent drop to 663 people.

On the other side of the pass, Warfield decreased 1.8 per cent to 1,672 people, a drop of 30 per cent.

Across the Columbia River valley, Montrose dipped .4 per cent to 1,032 (four person decrease), and Fruitvale lost five people in 2013, a .2 per cent drop to 2,036.

On an annual basis, the provincial BC Stats produces subprovincial population estimates using the generalized estimation system (GES).

This regression model uses symptomatic indicators such as health client registry and residential hydro hook-ups to gauge population growth from one year to the next.

These estimates assist in local and provincial government planning processes.

In the other West Kootenay region, the Regional District of Central Kootenay also declined, but by only .5 per cent, or 321 people.

Nearby Castlegar dropped by 98 people, or 1.2 per cent in 2013 to 7,762 people. Nelson rose slightly, 24 people, to 9,877, or .2 per cent. Creston fell 4.8 per cent to 5,169 in 2013, a drop of 261 people.

The other Kootenay cities of Golden and Revelstoke both dropped in population, .9 per cent and .1 per cent respectively.

Revelstoke lost six people in 2013 to come in at 7,241, while Golden fell to 3,691 (35 person drop).

In the East Kootenay, Cranbrook fell one per cent to 19,245 (198 people), while Kimberley slid by 100 people to 6,406 (1.5 per cent drop).

The city of Fernie came in at 4,538, down 1.2 per cent in 2013, or 56 people.

Across the province, Peace River showed the highest regional growth in 2013 (2.1 per cent) with a boost in population of 1,280 persons.

In terms of actual number of people, Greater Vancouver, the most common destination of choice for immigrants landing in B.C., saw the largest increase in population (34,702 persons) in 2013.

Surrey attracted more newcomers than any other municipality between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013 (11,116 persons or 2.3 per cent).

Of the 10 largest (over 100,000 people) municipalities in the province, Kelowna, Saanich and Delta showed a decline of .2 per cent, .4 per cent and .1 per cent, respectively.

Amid municipalities with greater than 5,000 people, Creston and Port Alberni reported the fastest rates of decline (4.8 per cent and 3.3 per cent, respectively).

The coverage of B.C.’s geographies using GES focuses on 189 areas comprised of 162 municipalities and 27 unique aggregations of unincorporated areas.

Most of the province’s residents (almost nine in every 10 persons) live in what is classified as municipalities.

IN BRIEF RDKB hands out new contract Alpine Disposal and Recycling has been selected to manage the Kootenay-Boundary’s curbside recycling collection services effective May 19.

The announcement is a part of the industry-financed provincial recycling program introduced in B.C. This will help the Multi-Material B.C. meet its government-mandated goal of 75 per cent recovery for packaging and printed paper.

Residents can expect more details in April.

Communities will also be able to recycle new categories of packaging that are not commonly included in current curbside or depot recycling programs including: • Milk cartons • Foam packaging • Plant pots • Aluminum foil packaging • Certain types of plastic film packaging • Drink cups

Electoral boundaries under review A change could be coming to the West Kootenay-Boundary’s electoral district boundaries.

The B.C. government is proposing to amend legislation to maintain existing northern and rural electoral districts and ensure that the number of provincial electoral districts stays at 85.

The proposed amendments to the Electoral Boundaries Commission Act are outlined in a white paper (http://www.ag.gov.bc.ca/legislation/ebca/index.htm ) released recently by Attorney General and Justice Minister Suzanne Anton.

British Columbia’s demographics have changed significantly since the act was first passed almost 25 years ago, and recent boundaries commissions have found it challenging to balance population growth with the need to ensure effective representation for northern and rural British Columbians. If passed in the legislature, the amendments will give the next Electoral Boundaries Commission (EBC) clear direction to preserve the existing number of electoral districts in northern and rural regions of the province when recommending new boundaries.

The North, Cariboo-Thompson and Columbia-Kootenay are the regions with the sparsest population and, as a result, have a high number of geographically large electoral districts.

The boundaries of existing electoral districts within those three regions could be changed, but the EBCwould still be required to apply the principle of representation by population to the greatest extent possible. The Columbia-Kootenay Region means a region consisting of the following electoral districts specified in the Electoral Districts Act: Columbia River-Revelstoke; (b) Kootenay East; (c) Kootenay West; (d) NelsonCreston. Although the region will not have the number of electoral districts reduced, the commission may adjust boundaries of electoral districts in the Columbia-Kootenay Region.

Section of Highway 3 to be improved: ICBC IN BRIEF ed in B.C. last year to help make roads safer for everyone, including pedestrians and cyclists.

In 2013, ICBC invested approximately $156,000 in eight road improvement projects and safety studies to help make West Kootenay roads safer for everyone, including drivers and pedestrians.

“ICBC’s road improvement program works in partnership with municipalities and our Ministry to help make our roads and highways safer,” said Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure.

“This program is an example of a partnership that brings together numerous stakeholders to help ensure safety remains a top priority when roads and highways are designed or upgraded in communities across the province.”

STAFF

Grand Forks Gazette

The safety of a section of Highway 3 near Grand Forks will be improved this summer by the province’s insurance corporation as part of its annual highway improvement plan.

ICBC will be investing $26,000 to replace all old-style barriers, install new guardrail locations including barrier flares and pavement markings on the Highway 3 section from Eholt Road to Fisherman Creek.

In all, ICBC will be investing $156,000 to help make West Kootenay roads safer in 2014.

Roundabouts, new crosswalks and designated turning lanes are the types of road improvement projects ICBC invest-

ICBC launched its road improvement program in 1990, and since then has invested approximately $120 million in road improvement projects and safety studies across B.C. In 2013, ICBC invested approximately $1.7 million in the Southern Interior and $8 million in projects and safety audits across the province.

“Everyone benefits from road improvements—from drivers to pedestrians because safer roads mean fewer crashes, which also translates into lower claim costs,” said John Dickinson, ICBC’s director of road safety.

“We’ll continue to invest in road safety initiatives that help us keep rates as low as possible.”

All proposed road improvement projects are assessed based on their ability to make roads safer.

Early diagnosis of dementia can avert unnecessary crisis SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

As many as 50 per cent of Canadians with dementia are not diagnosed early enough.

And that means many Grand Forks residents living with dementia are losing precious time when care and support can make a tremendous difference in their quality of life, says Julie Leffelaar, support and education coordinator for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. for Grand Forks and the West Kootenay.

An early diagnosis can also avert unnecessary crises for their families, she adds.

There’s a growing urgency to the message, as more than 70,000 British Columbians already live with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia— a number that is set to double within the next 25 years as

Baby Boomers age.

And almost three-quarters of Canadians know someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia.

“A diagnosis of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease can be devastating, but it can also bring relief,” says Leffelaar.

“Early diagnosis keeps your life from unraveling.”

Some people with dementia believe that very little can be done for them. Yet early diagnosis can bring a measure of relief and help them take control of their lives. “Support after diagnosis helps them gain perspective on their circumstances, fears, beliefs and hopes.”

Earlier diagnosis also opens the door to important local information, resources and support through the society, which helps people with dementia focus on their abili-

ties to remain independent in their homes and communities longer.

With early diagnosis, people can access medications that, although not effective for everyone, have the greatest impact when taken early.

“On a practical level, an early diagnosis gives someone the chance to explain the changes happening in their life to family and friends and allows families to plan ahead,” says Leffelaar.

Seeing a doctor for diagnosis can also rule out other treatable conditions, such as thyroid disease, infections and side effects of medications, which sometime mimic dementia symptoms or behaviours.

Fear and stigma continue to be huge barriers to seeking help. In a recent Nanos survey, 60 per cent of Canadians

polled said it would be harder to disclose if they, or someone close to them, had Alzheimer’s disease compared with other diseases because of the social stigma associated with mental health issues.

The society is working to break down those barriers.

A support and information group, for example, serves as a forum for sharing practical tips and strategies for coping with the disease. It helps create support and friendship with others whose lives are affected by dementia. For more information contact Frani Carmen at 250-442-5320 or Leffelaar toll-free at 1-855-301-6742 or jleffelaar@alzheimerbc.org.

Booze coming to grocery stores B.C. residents will be able to buy B.C. wine from grocery stores by early next year, with some stores connected to liquor stores that offer full selection including hard liquor.

The provincial government released its framework for a major overhaul of liquor policy recently. It proposes a small number of new licences for Vintners’ Quality Alliance (VQA) wine sales from grocery store shelves, with future expansion to include B.C.-made craft beer under the same licences.

Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap said all alcohol sales will be rung through at separate cash registers, with staff trained in an expanded “Serving It Right” course to check identification and sobriety.

Customers will be able to stock up on groceries and alcoholic beverages in the same shopping cart, whether from in-store B.C. wine or products from a connected liquor store.

Changes to take effect by this summer include licensing B.C. wine and beer sale and tasting at farmers’ markets, permitting “happy hour” drink discounts at licensed businesses and removing the requirement for fenced beer gardens at approved outdoor festivals.

Yap said the government is adopting a recommendation from Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall and other health officials to tie prices to alcohol content, in an effort to reduce over-consumption.

The government plans to maintain its cap on the number of liquor stores, with 670 private stores now in operation.

Liquor stores are currently restricted to relocating no more than five kilometres from their original location, but that restriction is being lifted so a licence can be sold or moved anywhere in the province.

Yap said that would allow either a government or private liquor store to relocate next to a grocery store.

Another major change in the works is to wholesale pricing from the government’s monopoly Liquor Distribution Branch.

Confessions of a Curber My next vehicle came from a used car wholesaler*.

There was nothing wrong with it, but he couldn’t find a dealer who wanted it. I gladly took it off his hands.

How hip was I? I had a new source of newer vehicles that would come right to me.

“Two-year-old car for sale. No previous accident history reported, only 35,000km on it. Call with offer.”

Shortly after, I got a call from a young man.

His car had just broken down, and he needed a new one fast. He agreed to meet me at the local construction site where he worked.

He was just finishing up his lunch when I arrived. He was wearing his construction uniform and I immediately noticed his tired eyes.

I felt bad for the poor fellow, and I was glad that I was selling him a reliable vehicle. He didn’t need another headache on top of everything. I even knocked $500 off the price I wanted.

It was a smooth transaction. The guyy looke looked edd hhappy and thanked me immensely ely forr all the help. I beamed back at him.

Around 5:00 a.m. the next morning, I got a call. It was the construction ructioon worker, yelling so loudly that I could barely ely uunderstand him.

“THEY TOOK IT AWAY,” ” he said over and over again. “REPOSSESSED!” !”

I hung up on him and triedd to make sense of the situation. Why would the ld th he car be taken away in the middle of the he night? n Who’s “they”?

Liens. Of course. The car ha had ad a lien on it.

That’s why it wouldn’t sell ell on a lot. The bank must have seized it due to an unpaid balance.

As before, I panicked. I didn’t idnn’t want to get involved in this right now. w. Sure, S I sold him the car, but how was I supposed seed to know it had

a lien on it? I realized the wholesaler* had scammed me! If that fellow had asked for a CarProof history report or even a provincial lien search, I’d be the one screaming.

Over the next several hours, I kept letting my phone go to voicemail – I couldn’t bear speaking to the young man. I knew I had to switch phones again.

I felt a bit ashamed. But I needed to be selfish about this. At this point, the best thing for me was cash. And lots of it. *Wholesaler – Vehicle sellers may call themselves auto brokers or wholesalers to sound legitimate and cheaper. But if they’re selling to private buyers, they must be licensed as a dealer. Like any curber - an individual posing as a private seller but selling vehicles as a business – wholesalers and brokers offer none of the protection the law provides for purchases from a Vehicle Sales Authority licensed dealer. Walt learned that lesson, sson, but his buyer paid the price.

“They took it away,” he said over and over gain. “REPOSSESSED!” again.

City Hall

Continued from Page 1

Allin said the city is in the process of getting a cost evaluation for the proposed plans for the rebuilt City Hall.

“Right now, we’re acquiring the cost estimate on the design work and then we’ll make modifications to that,” he said.

“The estimated cost of damage caused by the fire to City Hall was $650,000 by the insurance company. What we’re looking at right now is what is the actual cost of replacement.

So then we’ll be in a better position to understand if there’s any difference in there and what is going to be the difference for us to rebuild.”

Some of the proposed changes to the building including utilizing both door ways. He said they also want to find out from the public about whether there is interest in having automatic kiosks or computer stations to help customers.

“What we’re looking at is what is it that the customers really look for from the city in respect to customer service,” said Allin.

While modernizing aspects of the building are important, the city also wants to retain the classic look and design of the vintage building.

“We’re trying to retain the classic feel of the community with a modern, contemporary

city chief administrative officer feel,” he said. “It’s a combination of 2014 with the original construction of the building from the early 1900s. There will be natural products with the wood, recyclable products with the floor coverings, natural elements with the lighting.”

The timeline for the start and end date of the project is dependent on several factors, said Allin, most importantly when they get the tenders out and the proposals they get back and what challenges they run into.

“At this point, obviously 2014 is a goal for the city,” he said. “I think that’s realistic but we’ll know a lot more when we get the tender completed and we’ve gone out for pricing.”

D O W N T O W N

Allin said the city puts out the tender as one package and will look through all the proposals received, deciding on a successful general contractor who will oversee all the rebuilding and hire all the subtrades.

As to whether the city will necessarily hire a local general contractor or not, Allin said it’s definitely a factor that is considered when going through the bidders.

“Our purchasing policy is that we look at the costs for the greenhouse gases, for the emissions, for the carbon footprint of someone coming in from outside of the city,” said Allin.

“If everything is equal in the qualifications, then we would go to the carbon footprint and the out of town company would be challenged to move in their trades without creating a bit of a carbon footprint.”

The city does look at other factors as well when considering a bidder such as cost and speed.

“It depends on the proposal,” he said.

“If a local contractor can get it done quickly and has a better plan then we’ll look at that for sure. It’s important that we evaluate the tenders as to our purchasing policy and go from there.”

Getting up and active with PAL Spring is the perfect time to turn over a new leaf and start getting active. Introducing regular physical activity into your life is an important first step towards better health, a happier mindset, and more. The whole family will benefit from increased activity and getting on the road to a healthier lifestyle.

There are so many known benefits to physical activity and an active lifestyle. Among them are a reduced risk of heart disease, premature death and stroke. Being active has also been proven to help improve self-esteem and confidence, help you sleep better, increase your energy and reduce depression, among many other things. Furthermore, it helps maintain functional independence, mobility, and bone health.

For many of us, it can be quite daunting to take that first step towards an active lifestyle. And it can be more challenging to start something new without any help. The good news is residents of BC have access to a free physical activity counselling service called the Physical Activity Line (PAL). Through a phone call or online, qualified exercise professionals are available to provide exercise and physical activity advice and help you develop a customized physical activity plan for every member of the family, from children to older adults.

When it comes to physical activity, more is better. To achieve the health benefits, it is important to try and progress towards the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines, which recommend at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day for children and youth and 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity each week for adults. Adults and older adults should also add muscle- and bone-

strengthening activities that work the major muscle groups at least twice a week to help with balance and prevent falls for those with mobility impairments.

Physical activity doesn’t have to mean playing a sport or going to the gym. Playing a family game of tag, going for a swim or taking a walk outside with the family pet or to the store to get groceries count towards the physical activity recommendations.

Try out something new; you may find your new favourite activity! In any case, you’re bound to have some fun and feel like a happier and healthier you.

The Physical Activity Line is available Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m in the Lower Mainland, toll-free at 1-877-725-1149.

For more information, visit www.physicalactivityline.com or email info@physicalactivity.com.

Other physical activity resources include ParticipACTION (www.participACTION.com) and Healthy Families BC (www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca).

The BC Government is now off-loading our recycling decisions to Toronto.

Under its new regulations, the BC Government has set up an association led by big corporations to take over the local Blue Box recycling program throughout BC. If you look closely, you’ll see that of seven board members, six are executives of Toronto-based multi-national corporations, with the seventh weighing in from Montreal.

How do you like that, British Columbia?

This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose first responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profits.

That can’t be a good thing for BC. The most perplexing thing is that we currently have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, and costs BC homeowners just

$35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its first priority, nor does it guarantee that there won’t be job losses here in BC. It doesn’t guarantee service levels, or say anything about how big business will pass along the costs to you when you go to pick up a pizza or buy groceries.

Yikes!

Perhaps this is why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to sign onto the new program, calling it a “scam.”

Given that, maybe it’s time you called Premier Clark to keep BC’s environmental decisions right here in BC where they belong.

What’s going on here?

Arts and Culture Week springs on city SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Spring is here and so is the B.C. Arts and Culture Week sponsored by the Boundary District Arts Council and gallery 2.

“We are proud to host the 15th consecutive Arts Week as it is one of the most elaborate display of arts and crafts in the Boundary,” said arts council member Erna Gobbett.

The history of this event goes back to June 1979 when it was called ‘Spring Thing’ when the Grand Forks Arts Society had a display in conjunction with Canada Week.

In March 1981 it continued in Perley School as the ‘Spring Arts Festival’ along with an evening concert.

In May 1984 Spring Thing was expanded and held in the Boundary Mall with over 200

displays. This encouraged the society to hold Spring Thing events in the Art Gallery in 1985, 1986 and 1987, but due to a lack of a coordinator and funding the last one was held in 1991.

In 1999 the Assembly of BC Arts Councils announced that they would help fund local arts councils if they participated in an Arts Week during their specified time, the last week in April. The Grand Forks Arts Council, with the help from the Grand Forks Art Gallery, revived the event and have continued it annually with changes in names and buildings.

“We are inviting all art and crafts people to enter their exhibits,” said Gobbett.

Application forms are available at gallery 2, Tuesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Delivery dates for all visual

items are Thursday, April 17 to Saturday, April 19, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The entry fee is $2 per item or display.

As Arts Week begins on Easter Sunday the council will have some items on display at St. Johns United Church on Sunday, April 20 and Monday April 21 from 1-4 p.m.

Gallery 2 is open Tuesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a reception and entertainment for all from 1-3 p.m.

A gala performance of BDAC musicians and dancers will be held on Thursday, April 10 at 7 p.m. in the Grand Forks Secondary School auditorium, by donation.

The arts council is inviting everyone to participate, enjoy and celebrate the arts in learning and in life. For information, phone 250-442-8569 or 250-4422211 or email gfag2@shaw.ca.

Author tackles Lyme disease in new book SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Nobody likes to think about ticks or about Lyme disease.

But you can’t sweep this bug under the rug.

Author Vanessa Farnsworth brings Lyme disease—and her own journey with the bizarrely intelligent tick-borne bacterium—to light in a special presentation at 7 p.m. on April 8 at the Greenwood Public Library.

Farnsworth’s book, Rain on a Distant Roof: a Personal Journey through Lyme Disease in Canada, examines the science behind this disease as she describes her struggle with its effects, and her battle with an unprepared medical system.

The guilty bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, has been likened by scientists to a creature from outer space for its ability to mimic different cells.

Symptoms can be debilitating, affecting many parts of the body including nerves, brain, and heart.

“It’s an incredibly complicated illness,” says Farnsworth, who writes about Lyme disease in her blog on lymediseasebook.com.

“One of the many Lyme-related problems that we have here in Canada is the way in which health authorities continue to define Lyme disease in such narrow terms— infection with borrelia bacteria and nothing more—and that’s a

definition that isn’t helpful to patients stuck in a medical nightmare.”

It also doesn’t help that the habitat of ticks that can carry the disease—most commonly western black-legged ticks in B.C.— is rapidly expanding, and that the number of cases is expected to rise.

“Rain on a Distant Roof offers thought-provoking insight into the daily struggles and obstacles faced by chronic Lyme disease patients. Vanessa Farnsworth’s self-described ‘tick-shattered life’ is an all too common but seldom told story of desperately ill Canadians caught in a healthcare nightmare,” says Susan McInnis, president of Lyme Disease Association of Alberta.

Charlene Diehl, director of the Winnipeg International Writers Festival, describes the author as “an excellent advocate for the Lyme community, both on the page and in person: she is articulate, passionate, invested, well-informed, and vital.”

Farnsworth has published more than 100 columns and articles in national and regional publications such as Canadian Gardening, Canadian Living, Harrowsmith Country Life and others, and literary fiction in a number of Canadian and U.S. literary journals. She appears in West Kootenay Libraries—including Salmo, Nelson, Greenwood, Creston, Kaslo, Radium, and Kimberley—with support from the Kootenay Library Federation and the host libraries.

City sets sights on spring cleaning CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

With warmer weather and most of the snow melting around Grand Forks’ city crews are busy with spring clean up.

That means city sweepers will be busy cleaning up winter sand, dirt and leaves accumulated on roadways, sidewalks and boulevards.

“For the next five or six weeks we’re going to be concentrating on sweeping the whole town,” said Roger Huston, manager of operations.

“We’ve got pothole patching as well. We’re always trying to

maintain the roads. Our priority is the main areas like 2nd and 68th, the main roads. But if we get a complaint we’re on it right away.”

This is Huston’s first year on the job in Grand Forks, but he says he’s heard from the crew that this year the roads are in similar shape to previous years and are certainly not any worse.

Huston said the city has had to deal with some minor flooding with the local snow melt.

He anticipated more when the freshet (run-off) comes from the mountains and fills up the rivers causing high levels.

cleaning up To help facilitate the clean up: • Keep vehicles off residential streets to allow the sweeper to do a proper job, • Place garbage containers and recycling away from the road on collections days, • Keep basketball and hockey nets off the road and far enough back from the curb, • Be understanding while street sweeping is underway, there may be some noise and dust, • Be patient. Cold and rainy weather prevents our sweeper from operating.

The Corporation of the City of Grand Forks

NOTICE OF WATER MAIN FLUSHING The Water Utility Department advises residents that we will be flushing water mains throughout the City during the months of April and May. Regular annual flushing is an important component of a comprehensive water management program. Flushing water mains are done as part of a scheduled preventative maintenance program to remove sediment that gradually deposits in the pipes and helps maintain water quality in our system.

Flushing will take place between the hours of 5:00 am and 3:30 pm. As we flush your area, you may experience a temporary reduction in water pressure and/or discoloration of the water. These conditions are normal during flushing activities and are only temporary. Please check your drinking, cooking, and laundry water before using. To clear your water lines, simply turn on your cold water tap or outside hose bib and let it run until the water is clear (approx 15 min. or more) Utility crews continue their water main flushing program to ensure the distribution system is refreshed and healthy. If you have any questions or if you experience any persistent water quality problems as a result of this maintenance program, please let us know at info@grandforks.ca or call Public Works at 250-442-4148.

Funding helps launch rural model for services for young victims of abuse VAL ROSSI Trail Times

Young victims of abuse in the region will find their way through the channels of support with fewer strides now that a rural model has been accepted and supported by $350,000 from the Department of Justice (DoJ) Canada’s Victims Fund.

The funding will be used by the Kootenay Boundary Community Services (KBCS) Co-operative to implement a rural model of delivering services, traditionally available through a Child Advocacy Centre, in the communities of Trail, Castlegar, Nelson, Grand Forks and Nakusp.

This project builds on a feasibility study undertaken by the organization in 2011 that found a need for improved services and a more coordinated response from professionals for young victims of abuse living in rural areas of the region.

“In urban centres everything can be localized in one building and you can have all of the services there, but here we have 30,000 square kilometres to cover with high mountain passes and it makes access quite difficult, especially in the winter,” explained Prudence-Elise Breton, co-operative executive coordinator.

This project brings to-

gether five multi-disciplinary teams from existing service providers in five areas of the West Kootenay/Boundary region (Nelson, Nakusp, Grand Forks, Trail and Castlegar) to respond to cases of child and youth abuse.

A regional coordinator, with help from a regional advisory committee (also, multi-disciplinary team from existing service providers from all over the region) will oversee the entire project that will be facilitated by local coordinators leading teams in their participating communities.

The regional coordinator, (the KBCS Co-op manages the project -finance, contracts,

reports to DoJ), ensure activation of regional and local committees, liaise with community partners and lead agency (the co-op), develop and distribute resources and coordinate regional training and the development of regional policies, procedures and protocols and work with an evaluation consultant to monitor project.

“Instead of a kid bouncing between the police, a social worker and say the hospital, the group will work together to look at the case and find a more integrated solution,” said Breton. “It’s to make sure that the children that have been victims of neglect, violence or abuse feel heard.”

NDP takes aim at Multi-Material BC recycling ‘failure’ JEFF NAGEL Black Press

The NDP is accusing the provincial government of handing over control of B.C.’s blue box recycling system to Toronto-based multinational executives who will be unaccountable while B.C. businesses and households pay higher costs.

Opposition small business critic Lana Popham raised the issue of Multi Material BC in the Legislature Monday, calling on the province to change course before the agency’s new system for recycling packaging and printed paper takes effect May 19.

“If government doesn’t take a step back, B.C.’s recycling system is going to end up in a giant dumpster,” Popham said.

“The control of recycling should never have been outsourced to the large corporate interests based in Ontario and abroad. This is a profound failure. This program needs to be paused and the entire concept reconsidered.”

Popham’s comments follow the launch earlier this month of a campaign against MMBC by a coalition of business groups, including the newspaper industry, who say they can’t afford to pay high fees imposed under the new system.

“The Liberal government loves to claim they’re getting rid of red tape,”

she said in an interview Monday. “So it’s quite ironic because MMBC is a Godzilla-sized red tape monster.”

Although MMBC is registered as a society, Popham called it a “dummy corporation” because two of its three directors are Toronto-based senior executives with Loblaws and Unilever, while the third is MMBC managing director Allan Langdon.

The Saanich South NDP MLA said the province should force MMBC to give B.C. stakeholders majority control.

Popham said the MMBC system will be “dangerously close to monopoly” resulting in less competititon and innovation in recycling.

She also said municipalities have been pressured into signing contracts with inadequate compensation for their costs, the threat of penalties for contamination and a gag clause.

MMBC’s new recycling fees on businesses will be passed along to consumers through higher prices, Popham said, calling it a “hidden tax” that won’t be transparent to consumers.

Meanwhile, she says cities are unlikely to rebate property taxes that households already pay for recycling.

“The slogan for MMBC should probably be ‘Recycle once, but pay twice.’”

In some cities where MMBC won’t provide services, such as Kamloops, residents will pay for nothing, Popham

news canada

added.

MMBC says it will take new types of containers and packaging not collected in B.C. before.

But Popham noted glass will no longer be collected curbside in many cities and there’s little evidence the system will improve recycling rates overall.

She said a smarter approach would have been to extend the beverage can deposit-refund system to more containers, such as milk cartons and laundry detergent jugs.

Liberal MLA Eric Foster (Vernon Monashee) responded in the Legislature, saying the province made changes to exempt most businesses from MMBC fees and paperwork if they earn less than $1 million in revenue, generate less than one tonne per year of packaging, or operate as a single outlet.

“We’ve got all kinds of validation on this — chambers of commerce, local government, opportunities for local government to either continue the way they’re doing it or to have MMBC put their contractors in there to pick up,” said Foster, who serves on the government’s environment and land use committee.

“MMBC came forward as an opportunity to change people’s way of doing business and to put the onus on the original producers of the waste product or the recyclable product to reduce.”

Business alliance to battle MMBC recycling fees

JEFF NAGEL Black Press

An alliance of business groups opposed to the new Multi Material BC recycling system are demanding the province halt the planned May 19 launch and go back to the drawing board.

MMBC, an industry stewardship group, is poised to take responsibility for curbside blue box collection—with more containers and material types collected than before—while charging businesses for the recycling of the packaging and paper they generate.

But it’s been in a bitter fight with small business groups that complain they are set to pay punishingly high fees, which will then be passed on to consumers.

The battle took a new turn Monday, when the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and eight other associations launched a campaign in B.C. newspapers and online at rethinkitbc.ca to amplify the pressure on Victoria.

CFIB provincial affairs director Mike Klassen predicted job losses and some business closures as a result of the MMBC regulations and fees.

“This is public policy run amok,” he said.

“We are asking British Columbians to talk to the B.C. government to push the pause button on its reckless and red tape-laden program.”

B.C. Agriculture Council vice-chair Stan Vander Waal said farmers can’t readily stop packaging strawberries and blueberries in plastic clamshells, because retailers insist that’s what consumers want.

“We have to wear the cost,” he said, adding MMBC fees will cost his Chilliwack farm $60,000 to $100,000 a year. “It goes directly against growing agriculture.”

Canadian Newspaper Association chairman Peter Kvarnstrom, who is publisher of a paper in Sechelt, warned the the new system will be “catastrophic” to B.C. community and daily newspapers, resulting in job losses in an already challenged industry and reduced service to communities.

The opposition groups say they support the aim of the program—to make generators of packaging pay to recycle it— but they dispute the fees and say multinational consumer goods firms like Unilever and Walmart control MMBC and

are manipulating it to their benefit, not that of local businesses.

Most of the fees for container waste are double or even quadruple what businesses in Ontario pay to a similar agency.

Newspapers say they face a $14-million-a-year bite out of their operations because of the 20 cents per kilogram they will pay on newsprint, compared to less than half a penny in Ontario.

They contend a high proportion of newsprint is already recycled in B.C. through blue boxes.

Kvarnstrom said newspapers are considering options to create their own newsprint collection system—a move that could also deprive MMBC of newsprint revenue and undermine the program’s viability.

Magazine industry reps also warned small B.C. magazines will pay not only for their own paper recycling, but will also effectively subsidize big U.S. magazines like Harper’s or Vogue that will be exempt from MMBC fees on magazines mailed into B.C. Printers predict some orders will shift to presses in the U.S. or Alberta to skirt the fees, costing jobs in B.C. MMBC managing director

Allen Langdon said MMBC’s higher fees are because they fully finance the program and ensure service for multi-family apartments and rural depots, in contrast to Ontario’s more limited focus on single-family homes.

He said B.C.’s successful container deposit system also means there’s less recyclable material left here for container stewards to collect and sell, so fees have to be higher to cover the system costs.

Langdon said no business is forced to join MMBC, adding groups like the newspaper industry are free to develop their own system.

“If they think there’s a better way, I think it’s important they put it forward.”

Environment Minister Mary Polak said most businesses are exempt from the fees if they have under $1 million of retail sales, generate less than a tonne of material or operate out of a single retail outlet, while generators of one to five tonnes per year pay flat fees of $550 or $1,200.

She said property taxpayers will save money because MMBC will now pay for recycling collection that local municipalities previously paid.

New recycling costs imposed by Multi Material BC will ultimately hit consumers through hidden price hikes, critics say.

“The public is largely unaware of the money that will come out of their pocket and ultimately go back to manufacturers,” said Corinne Atwood, executive director of the B.C. Bottle and Recycling Depot Association.

Unlike existing deposit-refund systems in B.C. on cans or electronics – which are subject to audits and transparent reporting – Atwood said MMBC can do what it wishes with its revenue, without accountability.

“It’s a licence to print money,” she said.

Atwood has lobbied for years to expand the deposit system to include milk cartons and other containers, from hair spray canisters to detergent bottles.

She argues the refunds offered would ensure a high rate of recycling through depots, as with beverage cans now.

“If you put deposits on things initially the consumer would pay a bit more, but the people who bring it back will get their money back,” she said.

Instead, she said MMBC’s non-refundable fees on packaging generators will inflate prices with no recourse.

“With a hidden fee you don’t know what it is and there’s no opportunity to get that back—then you’re genuinely taking money out of families’ pockets.”

Atwood said she believes the government likes the new system because if MMBC fees drive retail prices higher, the province will collect more sales tax.

The agency recently announced a consortium of waste firms that will handle the processing of containers that are collected.

Community

Community comes together to discuss watershed plan PAT KELLY

Boundary Creek Times

“Tonight will be another step on the ladder,” said Area E rural director Bill Baird on March 11 as he welcomed more than 40 residents from across the Boundary to a public input session sponsored by the Kettle River Watershed Management Plan Stakeholder Advisory Group.

“Sustaining the Flow: managing water supply and demand to support ecosystem health and community needs” was the title of the event. Also on hand for the evening was Grace McGregor, rural director at Christina Lake and board chair of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, members of the Stakeholder Advisory Group and project coordinator Graham Watt.

The meeting came on the heels of the recent release of the committee’s third discussion paper (Sustaining the Flow). This and earlier discussion papers covering vision and goals for the watershed as well as another on decision-making and governance, are available online at www.kettleriver.ca.

“There are a lot of challenging issues to discuss,” said Watt.

“How will our communities prepare for a multi-year drought?

What is the role of water storage in providing for human use and keeping fish and other organisms alive in the river? How do we help agricultural producers in improving water conservation and irrigation efficiency? We’ll be

looking for your ideas about how to do this right.”

“This is the part of the watershed plan that is most important—involving the communities that the plan is meant to support,” said McGregor.

The session was focused on water supply and water conservation. How water is used and stored; and what conservation measures could be implemented that would benefit the watershed.

Watt said it is expected that the final plan will have recommendations for all levels of government—provincial, regional and local.

More than 40 people from across the Boundary (Beaverdell to Christina Lake) listened as Watt gave a brief introduction into the watershed plan and an overview of the issues that brought the work together.

Watt told them that adoption of water conservation is great importance. He said that conserving water is between 10 to 25 per cent of the cost of funding new water supplies such as storage dams.

He said planning for low-flow and drought is a priority. “My view and the view of our advisory committee is that provincial regulatory response to low flow hasn’t worked very well,” cautioned Watt. “It hasn’t really protected individuals or communities and helped us get ahead of the game.”

The meeting was divided into four round table discussion groups, each focusing on a dif-

Residents came from across the Boundary to discuss water use and conservation. The public input will be used to help develop the Kettle River Management Plan due out later this summer.

ferent facet of water supply and conservation: priority uses of water, innovations in water conservation, smart water storage, and planning for drought.

The information gathered at the meeting will be used to inform the watershed management plan, due to be released later in draft in late May or June.

Watt said there is already a commitment from the regional district for three years of implementation. “Core funding for coordination and a commitment to

help locate the money for other projects the stakeholder advisory would like to see happen.

“Then it is a work in progress from there, as we use it as a tool to leverage resources for things that we can’t do alone.”

Priorities for water allocation had ecosystem health and food production topping the list with domestic use coming in third followed by recreational users and acknowledgement of the historical industrial uses of water in the area.

Quote of the WeeK:

Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money.

– Arthur Miller (1915 - 2005) Joke of the Week:

Danny went golfing with his buddy, Tom. He stood over his tee shot for what seemed an eternity, looking up, looking down, measuring the distance, figuring the wind direction. Finally his exasperated partner says, “What the hell is taking so long, just hit the damned ball!”

Tom answers, “My wife is up there watching me from the clubhouse. I want to make this a perfect shot.” “Give me a break!” Danny retorted. “You don’t stand a chance in hell of hitting her from here!”

After a disappointing end to the season, the Grand Forks Border Bruins are once again on the hunt for a head coach and general manager (GM).

The Bruins were in the playoff hunt for the first half of the season after getting out to a strong start led by captain and top scorer Jackson Purvis and head coach/GM Nick Deschenes.

Purvis ended up getting injured and missing over a month, while Deschenes left to take the head coach job at junior A Trail.

The team floundered under replacement coach/GM Kevin Flather, a young ex-pro player from Vancouver, losing the last 10 games of the season to finish well out of playoff contention.

Board member and assistant coach/general manager Matt Zamec said the board is currently scouring their list of contacts in the hockey community.

“Kevin was brought aboard as kind of an emergency fill in,” said Zamec. “We just wanted to put it out there and explore options. We told Kevin he’s welcome to submit his resume.

The way our season ended we wanted to see what’s out there before we commit to anyone.”

Zamec said the team is using its contacts to try to recruit a coach rather than just simply advertising widely and soliciting resumes.

“Right now, we’re just going the route of contacting people who we know and spreading the word to see if there’s anyone out there we can bring in that we now before we just solicit piles of resumes,” said Zamec. “If you can get a personal recommendation from someone you trust, that’s the best way to bring someone in.”

Zamec said the team is looking for a candidate who is a proven leader, has good communication skills and is able to develop good relationships with the players and the staff

The off season begins anew for the Bruins as the team’s executive begins the search for a new coach/GM for the club.

and the town.

“We want someone who will represent us in a positive manner,” he said. “As for the win and loss record, obviously, we want to make the playoffs— that’s the goal every year.”

He added that he’d like to see the Bruins build on the success the team had before Christmas.

“Anything seemed possible,” he said. “We want to get that atmosphere back. It has to be the right person. That’s why we’re starting the process by going through personal connections. There’s people we know in the hockey world who are looking for jobs, or know people who are looking for jobs.”

Clearly, the Bruins are hungry to make the playoffs after having been left out in the cold for the past 12 years or so.

The Bruins have the potential to have some talented players back this season, despite losing top scorers Connor Gross and Purvis.

“We’re hoping we can attract the group back and then we have to go out and get the players,” said Zamec. “Obviously, those two guys will be tough to replace. You need scoring but a good coach will adjust his strat-

AnnuAl meeting The Bruins are holding their annual general meeting (AGM) on Monday, March 31 at 7 p.m. at the viewing room at the Jack Goddard Memorial Arena.

The AGM is open to all residents of Grand Forks.

Membership to join the Bruins association is $5.

“At the AGM, we’ll go over the financials and do a summary of the season,” said Zamec.

“There will be some changes proposed to the constitution of the Border Bruins association. The constitution was put together back in the 1970s. So there will be some changes just to update it.”

There are also 12 positions on the board that are one-year positions so they will all be up for election.

egy to the kind of team he has.”

Eligible to return next year are forwards Max Newton, Dakota Kittle and Michael Rand who all had strong contributions this year scoring at least 40 points.

The team will potentially need to find two new goaltenders with Dominic Stadnyk aging out and Kai McDonald likely to move on.

Former Olympian to bring message to city

Six-time Olympian Clara Hughes will ride her bike 12,000 km around Canada and through Grand Forks this year, bringing the mental health conversation to communities in every province and territory.

Clara’s Big Ride for Bell Let’s Talk begins March 14 in Toronto and concludes July 1 as part of Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, with her ride bringing her through Grand Forks May 24 for an overnight stop.

“After months of preparation and anticipation, I can’t wait to get on my bike and meet Canadians everywhere to talk about mental health. Together, we can achieve a stigmafree Canada,” said Clara.

“Mental illness is part of everyone’s life in some way, and talking openly about it tells those who struggle that they shouldn’t fear seeking help. Beating the stigma is the biggest step we can take in moving Canada’s mental health forward. “ Over 110 days, Clara’s Big Ride for Bell Let’s Talk will visit 95 communities in all territories and provinces, concluding in Ottawa on July 1 as part of the Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill.

Clara will be welcomed by The Honourable Shelly Glover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, and the honourary Community Champion for Ottawa.

Carol Linda Christine Floyd August 29, 1955 to March 4, 2014

With great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Carol Floyd on March 4, 2014. Carol will be deeply missed by aunts Mary and Nel Makortoff, brother Sid Floyd (Linda), and sisters Wendy Mirmotahari (Afshin), Sharon Hunt (Earl), and Kathy Schaefer (Glen). Nieces and nephews, Sarah (Pablo), Nathan and Adrienne Floyd; Jayme and Casey Chisholm (Jody); and Madeleine and Rachel Schaefer. Carol was also great aunt to Keita, Anne, and Kenai Floyd; and Tessa, Eva, and Cameron Chisholm. Carol’s mother and best friend, Helen Floyd, greeted her in heaven where they are walking along a sunny beach far above the clouds.

Carol was born in Vancouver and moved to Grand Forks in 1969. Carol moved back to Vancouver immediately after graduating high school. There she worked for Canadian Customs Brokers and then started a long career with Canada Post. Carol continued to work at Canada Post when she moved to Kelowna in 1981 and until her retirement in 2012.

Carol was genuine, generous, and kind. She kept life-long friendships, especially with her high school friends. Carol was a devoted aunt to each and every one of her nieces and nephews. Carol loved to cook and sew for family and friends. She would arrive at all family reunions with an abundance of food and mass quantities of her latest sewing project with plenty for everyone. Carol’s passion for quilting took up much of her time in her retirement and she was a member of many quilting groups. She used to say that her quilts were her babies. Her sewing was impeccable and she had a gift for arranging colors and patterns. Carol loved shopping for fabrics – she who has the most fabric wins!

Carol loved to travel. In her early twenties she travelled to Europe and was abroad for many months.

Her mother was her travelling and beachcombing partner and together they travelled to Jamaica, Fiji, Bali, Venezuela, Costa Rica, the Cook Islands, Cuba and Mexico.

We wish to thank Dr. Schulze, the staff at Kelowna General Hospital, friend Teresa Stadel who held Carol’s hand in her last hours, as well as Carol’s friends for their love and support.

Carol’s family, friends, and fellow quilters are invited to a gathering at 2 p.m. on April 12th, Unit 2 - 1950 Burtch Road, Kelowna, BC.

Spring time: It’s the turn around moment

T

he first day of spring has just passed and people all around the world have likely slowly lost motivation for their New Year’s resolutions.

Talk to any gym and they will tell you that there is a rise in gym memberships in January and a sharp drop off by March. It can be incredibly easy to simply fall into the old habits that we have always had.

Good change and growth is always hard work, very rarely does anyone accidently fall into their dreams and goals.

One of the greatest ways we understand life is through narrative or story. This is why so many of us love books and movies; we love a good story.

We learn from other people’s stories and can be encouraged and challenged through them. This is

z View From The Pulpit

one of the many ways God actually speaks to us, the Bible is full of amazing stories where God is teaching us and showing us how He works.

One of my favourite moments in a good story is what I like to call “the turn around moment.”

You can see this played out in almost any story. The protagonist is trying to overcome some obstacle throughout the story and will have failure and success along the way but at some point things start to turn around. Simba comes home to take on is uncle, Luke Skywalker trains as a Jedi and saves his father, Rocky trains with Micky to

In Loving Memory of

Rose Margaret Hallstrom April 20, 1923 March 17, 2014

NoP Hallstrom

Rose peacefully passed away with family at her side at the age of 90 on March 17, 2014 in the Boundary Hospital.

Rose Margaret Hallstrom was born to Joe and Luigina Lavia in Fife on April 20, 1923. Rose grew up and went to school in Grand Forks. In 1948, she married James Hallstrom and moved to the farm on Boundary Creek Road. They raised four children, Delle, John, Bud and Lief.

Rose helped on the farm and ran her brother’s clothing store in Greenwood. She loved her family and friends. Rose enjoyed gardening and always kept the comer of Boundary Creek full of bright colours from the many flowers she had planted around the yard. Another love was food, although she was small in stature, family and friends will tell you that she was never shy when it came to second and third helpings.

The Hallstrom family would like to thank their friends, staff at the Boundary Hospital, Paramedics and Community Care Staff for all the care and support.

Rose is survived by her sister Emma Zahn, daughter Delle (Norm) Hoffman, sons John and Lief (Julie) Hallstrom, Daughter in Law Trish Hallstrom, grand children Kerri (Ian) Trip, Darren (Tracey) Hoffman, Dylan Hallstrom (Jade Bennett), Devin Hallstrom (Stacy Ludwar), Jayme (Kendra) Hallstrom and Breann Hallstrom. She is also survived by great-grandchildren Ryan and Jessica Trip, Jacey and Kennady Hallstrom and Daniel Hoffman.

Rose is predeceased by her husband James Hallstrom and son Bud Hallstrom as well as her brother Rocco Lavia and sister Mary Tustin.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to the Boundary Community Hospice, Box 2647, Grand Forks, BC, VOH 1HO. At Rose’s request there will be no service.

defeat Apollo creed, Chris finally finds success getting a paid position at his firm in the Pursuit of Happiness.

These are the moments that we long for but rarely see in our own lives. Unfortunatley we tend to lack that discipline that pushes us to that moment. We stumble, fall, give up, and even quit altogether yet God still holds out hope for us.

Though we are creatures of habit who regularly fail daily God saw fit to still pay a sacrafice for us.

Where there seems to be no hope God saw plenty.

Where there appears to be no chance, no way for us to have redemption something changed.

The greatest “turn around moment” as we draw close to Easter is of course the moment in which Jesus conquers death for us all.

Right when it seems all is lost for humanity a light shines in the darkness and changes the story forever. Wherever you find yourself failing, struggling, falling, Christ can and will with an invitation come in and speak hope, truth, and love in the darkness and become our true “turn around moment.”

Matthew 7:7-87 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

Benjamin Jepsen is with the Grand Forks Gospel Chapel.
