Stage two of the BCTF plan would likely entail rotating one-day walkouts in districts across the province. Stage three, a full-scale strike, would require a second vote by members to authorize.

Teachers will be holding stage one job action starting today (Wednesday) in Grand Forks and throughout the province. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) gave three-day strike notice on Thursday.

In a press release, BCTF president Jim Iker said the job action was “in response to disappointing progress at the negotiating table where the Christy Clark government and employer’s association have not backed off from unfair and unreasonable demands.”

BCTF members voted 89 per cent in March to endorse potential job JIM IKER action.

“We really hoped we could work this out,” Norm Sabourin, president of the Boundary District Teachers’ Association, told the Gazette. “The bargaining team and the executive made a decision that this was a problem.”

Phase one includes: not undertaking any mandated supervision of students outside of regularly scheduled classes, except as set out by an essential services order; attend any meetings with management; provide principals or administration with any printed, written or electronic communication; or receive any printed, written, or electronic communication from an administrator.

At this point report cards will not be affected.

“Despite our patience and our measured approach in bargaining, Christy Clark and her government are once again trying to provoke B.C. teachers and shut down B.C. schools,” continued Iker in the press release. “Job action, even low-level action, is always a last resort because teachers care deeply about our schools and our students. That is why teachers are asking for smaller classes, more one-on-one time for our students, extra help for those who need it, and more specialist teachers to enhance every student’s educational experience.”

Iker also explained that any escalation of stage one to stage two, which would mean rotating strikes, will depend entirely on progress at the negotiating table. “Teachers expect the government to abandon the ill-conceived 10-year scheme, make improvements to working and learning conditions like class size, class composition, and specialist staffing levels as well as offer a fair and reasonable salary increase. Our hope is for a negotiated deal at the bargaining table and not escalating job action,” said Iker.

Sabourin said that as long as the government is willing to negotiate, there would be no further job action.

“If we could get a deal signed we would pull back and go back to normal,” he said. “We’ve been patient and waited and waited. We’re hoping this will be it. We don’t want it to go any fur-

Digitizing trails creates jobs CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The trails around Christina Lake are about to go digital thanks to a project by the Christina Gateway Community Development Association.

The gateway association has signed a contract with the provincial government through the B.C. job creation partnership for the project, which will create up to four jobs for 10 months.

Boundary-Similkameen MLA Linda Larson was on hand at the Christina Lake Welcome Centre to present a cheque for $51,000 to the gateway association.

Larson said the project was developed through the hard work of local volunteers.

“These volunteers brought me out here,” she said. “The fact that this group of people got together and put together this project that will also employ four people (is great). This opportunity will provide marketable skills training to the workers and promote Christina Lake’s trails.”

The digital trails project is part of a larger community strategy at Christina Lake to increase trail usage and to attract new visitors and new business.

The project is set to begin April 28 and run until Feb. 27.

“What we’re going to be doing is creating photos, videos and stories/blogs on social media about the trails,” said Cavan Gates, manager of special projects for Christina Gateway. “It’s about promoting the trails. We’ve also got some signs we’ll put up so people don’t get lost. We’ll have a website where we’ll have a map of the trails. We’ll have photos that are geo-referenced or geo-tagged so they’ll pop up on the map.”

The trail signs will also have QR codes on them so people on the trails will be able to use their smart phones to view maps and other information about the trails using the codes.

“I’m just thrilled,” said Larson. “I think this is just part of healthy living and just a great project. There’s a tremendous amount of trails. This’ll be great for visitors who will have it all at their fingertips.”

Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Area C director Grace McGregor said the trails project will help bring Christina Lake to the age of tourism.

“In other words, so all those young people out there who rely on that (technology) will tell everyone that we are ‘mapped’,” she said. “When you’re mapped—it’s a different message.”

McGregor was quick to praise the work of Gates and Sandy Mark on bringing the project forward.

“This project came about after we talked about raising our tourism and putting it out there where it needs to be digitally,” she said. “We aren’t there. This is another portion of completing that.”

GRACE McGREGOR McGregor said that if Christina Lake doesn’t start paying attention to smart phones and other portable media they would fall behind, “and we have been behind,” she said. “This will bring us another level up to where we need to be with tourism.”

Students lose

Once again teachers will be taking job action with the hopes of securing a new and improved contract.

It seems as if it was just a few months ago that teachers took to the streets with rotating pickets for the exact same purpose.

It was actually two years ago and the B.C. Teachers Federation (BCTF) still does not have a deal with the BCPSEA (B.C. Public School Employer’s Association), which negotiates on behalf of the provincial government.

At this point, the job action is “low level” stage one and should pose no disruption to students; however, certainly down the road, if negotiations between the two parties continue on their current path, parents can expect to see more, stronger job action.

That action would likely mean rotating pickets like in 2012. There could also be the question of whether extracurricular activities would be affected such as coaching, field trips and grad ceremonies.

While there is no reason for parents to be overly concerned at this point, it is something to keep an eye on.

Teachers want improvements to class size, class composition and specialist staffing as well as salary increases, while the government is staying firm in trying to keep the education budget down.

Nobody wants to see escalating job action, but when two sides are this far apart and have been for years, fair or not, children are the strongest bargaining chip.

There’s hope against greater housing excess

Second Opinion JIM HOLTZ Canadian architect Moshe Safdie was interviewed on the CBS news program Sunday Morning last week. Most of the discussion centered on the Habitat housing development that he designed in 1967 for the World’s Fair in Montreal, but it went further describing the trend toward smaller more sustainable housing that is beginning to emerge.

There does appear to be at least the beginning of a small shift away from the notion that the ultimate goal in life is to have as large a house as one can afford. In the Fifties,

for most people that meant a 1,200 square foot house on a quarter acre lot in the suburbs. Fifty years later and the 1,200 square foot vision of success had grown to about 3,500 square feet, and the lot had shrunk to a piece of land just large enough to contain the house’s footprint. A short drive to Kelowna or the outlying areas of Vancouver reveals the continued popularity of that thinking.

But doubt is beginning to creep into the minds of many about the wisdom of those aspirations. The cost of maintaining large homes and concerns over the environmental impact that they represent have helped launch a small movement away from the excesses of traditional home design and construction.

There have been propo-

nents of alternate housing concepts for years, of course, and in Grand Forks the model of sustainable, cooperative living established by the Doukhobors is a great example of one alternative.

Other individuals here and in the Kooteneys have built cob, hay bale, and stacked log homes of small to moderate size as a way of avoiding the environmental impact of contemporary building materials and techniques. So far, however, the number of homes built using alternate methods is extremely small.

Still, there are signs that progress is being made toward more sustainable models of living. In the U.S. the Tiny House movement is an example. Many interesting and very affordable homes have been designed and built by in-

Bitumen a threat

to the editor

Teachers may have to act Letter to the Editor: Like all of you, teachers only want the best for their students.

Despite bargaining for more than a year with the government, there has been little progress made at the negotiating table.

We have been waiting, very patiently, for the government to provide the necessary funding required for us to move forward in achieving a negotiated collective agreement.

Instead, it has attempted to remove, yet again, the important provisions for class size and composition and minimum levels of specialist teachers that the BC Supreme Court restored.

As a result teachers across B.C. have voted 89 per cent in favour of job action.

Local teachers concur with the comments made by BCTF president Jim Iker, after our strike vote: “As teachers, we do not take job action, or even a vote on job action, lightly. We care deeply about our schools, our students, and their families. Many of us are parents or grandparents ourselves.

“B.C. teachers remain committed to negotiating a deal at the table. That is our goal. But once again, it depends on developments at the negotiating table. I encourage you to reach out to your local MLAs and tell them to work with us to get that deal negotiated at the table.

“I want to thank our parents for the work that they do with their children and their support of us.”

How you can get involved and help: • Talk to your child’s/grandchild’s teacher(s) about the supports they need to help our students succeed.

• Check out www.aFairDeal.ca where you can quickly and easily “Have your say” in a letter to the Minister of Education and your

MLA. The site also provides quick access to a great deal of information on the issues around bargaining.

• Talk to friends, relatives, and others in the community about the importance of an agreement that is fair for teachers and that will provide better support for our students.

Five quick facts about any potential job action we may be forced into: 1. A strike vote is a normal occurrence during negotiations of collective agreements and helps apply pressure to both parties during negotiations. Our hope is that a settlement will be reached without job action being necessary.

2. Whatever happens next will depend entirely on progress at the negotiating table.

3. If a first stage of job action does become necessary, it will have no impact on students’ learning. Teachers will continue to be in classrooms teaching, preparing lessons, and assessing students.

We will also continue participating in voluntary activities, writing report cards and communicating with parents.

4. If at some point talks stall or the government won’t make fair and reasonable proposals, rotating strikes would be the next step.

5. We’ve made a commitment that any fullscale strike will require another province-wide vote of the BCTF membership.

Be assured that B.C. teachers are strongly committed to reaching a negotiated agreement with government. We truly appreciate all the support we continue to receive from all of you to help us achieve this goal.

Norm Sabourin, President, Boundary District Teachers’ Association

What keeps council from vote?

Letter to the Editor: I totally agree with Donna Semenoff’s letter in the April 16 issue of the Gazette.

It is the first I’ve heard of the city putting these meters inside our house! So, if we disagree and have them at the edge of our yard (which is the city’s anyway), why should we have to pay for any repair costs when it’s the city’s property anyway? Are they saying if we allow the meter inside our house, that the city will pay for any repairs on them inside our house also?

We moved to Grand Forks two years ago from Abbotsford; mostly we wanted out of big city living and we love it here in Grand Forks, but are finding it very hard to see what is happening and the people not

given a vote.

There are such good people here who know what works from a lifetime of living and what is going to end up in disaster!

Maybe the council here doesn’t know about our past council and mayor in Abbotsford?

Only because enough voters didn’t turn out to vote were they able to build a “huge” auditorium that has never survived. They hired the Heat hockey team for a 10-year contract, now have come to pay off after only five years, using millions of taxpayers’ money.

So, what is it that keeps the city council from allowing a referendum? Pride? Stubborness? Love of power?

GRAND FORKS SINCE 1976

My name is David Black. I am the majority owner of Black Press, the company that owns this newspaper. This is the first of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime. I am a reasonably sensible and conservative businessman, not an alarmist. All of the information in this column can be confirmed from public sources.

The oil industry wants to export Alberta bitumen to Asia via tankers.

Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years.

Bitumen, even if it is diluted, does In the not float in sea water if there is sediment Spotlight present. This has been proven many times, most recently in a thorough EnDAVID BLACK vironment Canada study published on Nov. 30, 2013. Page 51 of the study provides graphic evidence of sunken bitumen. Given that there is an abundance of sediment along the B.C. coast, the bitumen will sink rapidly and there will be little chance of recovering any of it if there is a spill. By Northern Gateway’s own admission the likelihood of a bitumen spill at sea is over 10 per cent over the next 50 years.

Others say that it is much higher. We are in agreement with the position taken by the Coastal First Nations that even the slightest risk of a spill of bitumen at sea is unacceptable.

The grounding of the Exxon Valdez in Alaska in 1989 is often held up as an example of how bad an oil spill at sea can be, however, a spill of bitumen at sea would be much worse. The Exxon Valdez carried light crude and lost 250,000 barrels, one eighth of a tanker load. The light oil floated and could be removed from the beaches. Even so, after four years of work with up to 11,000 workers and 1,400 boats involved, less than 10 per cent of it was recovered.

Roughly 200,000 birds and many kinds of other wildlife were killed. Approximately 1,300 miles of shoreline were affected and the fishery has yet to fully recover. Bitumen is very different. It would harden up on shore and much of it would sink to the bottom, making it unrecoverable and killing virtually everything with which it came in contact. Imagine if we lost a full tanker load.

Some say that with GPS-based navigation and double hulls, spills such as Exxon Valdez are not possible today. They are wrong. Double hulls do not prevent hull fracture if there is a collision at speed, only if there is a gentle scrape. As for the GPS claim, most marine accidents are caused by human inattention, not by a lack of knowledge about position. All ships carried systems to indicate their location before GPS came along. The Exxon Valdez crew could have glanced at their instruments to determine their location but they didn’t, neither did the crew on the Queen of the North.

Marine disasters regularly occur and a quick search of the internet shows human error is most often the problem. Undoubtedly there will be many more marine accidents in future. Our grandchildren will not thank us if we willingly risk the destruction of the BC coast on our watch.

Fortunately there is a solution that is beneficial for all concerned: all we have to do is build a refinery at Kitimat. The refinery will convert the bitumen to gasoline, diesel and jet fuel which float and evaporate if they are spilled. Often little or no spill remediation is required. These refined fuels simply do not cause the habitat destruction of conventional or synthetic crude oil, or anywhere near the devastation caused by bitumen.

The second part of this OPED will run in the next issue. It will discuss the enormous value-add benefits and environmental advantages of a modern green refinery. The pipeline from Alberta and the tanker fleet to export the refined fuels will also be considered.

Let me declare my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled.

I am against shipping bitumen in tankers.

If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers please contact your local MP and say so. The Canadian government makes a decision on this next month.

Letters

to the editor

Doctor’s departure leaves questions

Letter to the Editor: I wish to make a comment on the lady’s letter, “Explain why the doctor is leaving.”

It appears the doctor in Greenwood is leaving. This man has done wonders for me and my wife. When you walk into his office he asks how you are and shakes your hand. Here is a doctor willing to work in the rural area and is now leaving. I also would like to know why the other doctors are not supporting this doctor. An explanation would be nice.

Ron Henschel, Greenwood Letter to the Editor: I am writing this letter in appreciation of the excellent health care that I receive in this community.

I am so sorry that another excellent doctor is leaving. It will be hard to replace or find another doctor that is as good as him.

I have been going to this doctor for three years and he has given me nothing but excellent care. He is a polite and caring doctor, he also helps me feel better when I leave the doctor’s clinic. He is my friend as well as a doctor.

He will be missed in our clinic and community—sorry to see him gone. I also hope that he will be replaced with another good doctor.

God bless to him and his family.

Lisette and Peter Hermakin, Grand Forks Letter to the Editor: I too am wondering why another good doctor is leaving Grand Forks?

We have lived here only two years, but finally have found a doctor who is polite, shakes your hand when he enters the room and at the end of your appointment. Not only is he polite, he looks at you when talking. He also takes into account what we are saying or expressing, and because most of us know our own bodies, he is willing to explore what we are saying and takes into account our needs.

I too would like to know the why of this? I would like to know from the other doctors at the clinic, hospital and administration.

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.

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Boundary-Similkameen MLA Linda Larson was met by several local protesters in front of Kocomo’s Coffee House on Thursday.

The protesters, who are hoping to convince Larson to vote no on Bill 24, which proposes several changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), help up signs stating ‘Hands off the ALR’ and ‘Save the ALR.’ Co-organizer and local farmer Colleen Ross presented Larson with fresh spinach which Ross had harvested that morning.

“I’m a farmer,” she told the Gazette. “I’m here with other farmers and concerned citizens. I’m also a member of the Ag Society (Grand Forks Boundary Regional Agricultural Society) and a representative of many other groups.”

Ross said she had earlier heard that Larson was going to be in Grand Forks meeting with select members of the Ag Society and decided to

organize the protest.

“It wasn’t open to the public so I thought, while, I wrote her a letter and she didn’t respond, so I’ll come and see if I can talk to her and let her know that we’re here to welcome her and to let her know that we are paying attention. We want to thank her for doing the right thing in anticipation of doing the right thing—which is to vote against Bill 24.”

Ross said the bill would take control of the ALR from the Agriculture Land Commission (ALC) and put it in the hands of mining and gas (government ministry) which would open the land up for mineral extraction or other economic development opportunities.

“It means that land would no longer be protected,” she said. “If I want to farm­­, whoever owns the land beside me, which is also ALR, could put in a subdivision or build storage units or mine it or put in a golf course. We really need to protect our land. We need to grow food but we also need to protect the land around farms.”

Thumbs down to wasting taxpayers’ money Thumbs down for wasting taxpayers’ money for having Christmas lights on in April.

Thumbs up to the dog owners who walk on the Riverside Drive trail with their pets on leash.

Teachers serve notice minister Peter Fassbender issued a press release on Thursday stating, “It’s a little disappointing but not at all surprising. Over the past few weeks, it appears the BCTF has been more focused on implementing its strike plan than bargaining at the table.

ly 13.5 per cent increase over three years, nor has it withdrawn any of its many other monetary proposals.”

Fassbender added that now that the BCTF has initiated their strike plan, BCPSEA (B.C. Public School Employee’s Association—the group which bargains for the government) hopes they will turn their attention to “some real bargaining.”

He said nobody wants a repeat of the sixmonth job action of a few years ago.

“That situation only served to prolong the dispute, to the detriment of students, parents and all public school employees,” said Fassbender. “We hope both sides will be equally motivated to find solutions at the table, rather than letting the BCTF’s strike drift on indefinitely.”

AKBLG won’t give support CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Elected officials in the Kootenay/Boundary area fell short of supporting those opposed to Bill 24, the legislation that would change the rules of the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

Several members of Grand Forks City Council including Mayor Brian Taylor recently attended the Association of Kootenay and Boundary Local Governments (AKBLG) annual general meeting (AGM) in Creston from April 9-11.

The theme of the conference was ‘Tying Communities Together’ and the AKBLG certainly does that by bringing together the elected officials from throughout the Kootenay/Boundary area.

At the AGM, resolutions are brought forward from local governments on a variety of issues and debated. The resolutions are then sent to the provincial association, the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) with the intention of shaping public policy at the provincial level.

Taylor said the group was petitioned by farmer groups who were opposed to Bill 24.

“There were both sides of that at the meeting,” he said. “It was quite interesting. Basically, the pros and cons of it were put in front of councillors there.”

Taylor said the AKBLG members voted to ask the provincial government to engage themselves more with some of the stakeholders involved.

“It was a pretty low-key response from elected officials,” said Taylor. “There were a lot of people hoping we’d come out strongly against Bill 24. There were a lot of arguments and a lot of amendments that made it palatable to the group.”

Taylor said he enjoyed spending time in Creston, which he said is quite similar to Grand Forks.

“For me, I went out and spent some time with some of the farmers in the area looking at the

Taylor added that Creston also has a number of empty storefront in their downtown core.

“They’re suffering from the same downturn for the small commercial operators,” he said. “In numbers and everything they are very similar.

They, obviously, have bigger farming interests.

They have sizeable cattle ranches. They’re the ones that Bill Bennett (guest speaker and minister of energy and mines) was pointing to in saying, ‘These are the kind of people looking for that flexibility of land use that would allow them to continue to farm their property’.”

Taylor said he’s curious to see who would be appointed to the provincial boards.

“I trust that the decisions won’t be all that radical in terms of protecting the environment and our farming lands,” he said.

Food bank elects new board SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

The Boundary Community Food Bank Society held its annual general meeting at the Grand Forks Public Library on April 14. Members received reports from the outgoing officers, elected a new board of directors and officers for the upcoming year, and were treated to guest speaker Andre Boruck.

Although the food bank’s efforts to set up a distribution system for West Boundary clients didn’t succeed, Tammy Battersby of Blessings Boutique now coordinates weekly delivery of bread and pastries to Evangel Chapel and United Church in Greenwood, The Bridge in Midway, and FoodShare in Rock Creek. The food bank also benefits from very close cooperation and mutual support with the Christmas Hamper program, thanks to both Tammy and Roxanne Smith.

Spurred by the enhanced local interest in food security, a committee of board and volunteers (dubbed the NutriSquad) grappled with some severe constraints to improve the nutritional value of our food hampers.

After serious discussions and some hard choices, several changes were instituted, some immediate, others gradual: fewer purchases of packaged and processed products; more milk for children; more nutritious school snacks; meat throughout the year; more canned salmon (provided at cost by Protein for People project); more bulk legumes; and more fresh, local produce. We also offer healthy recipes and tips on nutrition and frugal shopping.

Whispers of Hope Coordinator Andre Boruck and wife Joanne described a very exciting first year. They expressed gratitude for the many people who toiled over 18 years to somehow keep a kitchen operating hand-to-mouth, and contrasted those years with their now having a building provided, a stable revenue source from the thrift store, and some exciting synergies from working so closely with the BETHS shelter and Habitat for Humanity.

Several local young ladies got a chance to sit down and talk politics with their local MLA. On Thursday, Linda Larson, Boundary-Similkameen MLA, met with several of the local participants in the Head Start for Young Women program.

The program involves females from 16-24 who have come together to work together to identify challenges that women face in politic life.

“Our MLA was coming to the community and she contacted me about meeting with the girls in the program,” said Councillor Cher Wyers, who was instrumental in bringing the program to Grand Forks. “They got a chance to talk with Linda about the political arena and what’s happening right now around the region.”

Larson was quite impressed with the young ladies with whom she chatted with over lunch at Rumours.

“It was amazing,” she said. “I think this community is so lucky to have such interested and involved young women who want to find out more about how democracy works from the ground up. The fact that they’re interested and want to learn more about democracy is amazing.”

Larson said she has seen more female representation in recent years at all levels of government.

“It’s more than 30 per cent,” she said. “In all of Canada, all the top positions from Attorney General to premier are occupied by women so that makes it much more comfortable for those of us women involved in government right now.”

Larson said as a female politician, she’s never felt excluded from the ‘old boys club’.

“I really don’t feel that at all,” she said. “Maybe I just ignore that—it’s hard to say. But I haven’t found anybody who didn’t immediately take whatever concern I had and deal with it, regardless of whether I was a woman or not. So I’d like to think that is general and it will stay that way.”

Larson said with 30 per cent plus of politicians being female, it’s hard to ignore; however, she would like to see that

number grow to 40 and programs like Head Start for Young Women can only help.

Larson said having more women involved in politic is beneficial in so many ways.

“Women bring to the table a more varied way of looking at things,” said Larson. “We actually feel and think differently.

We’re not as focused on one issue. We can handle more than one thing at a time. I think that’s a real plus to government to have that touch of empathy to thinks they do.”

Larson added that it can still be a challenge for women in politics (as well as men) raising young children. She would love to see major corporations have child care facilities in their buildings.

“They would never have to worry about finding employees,” she said. “They could have their pick if they provided on-site childcare. I think governments and other business that employ dozens and dozens of people should be thinking that.”

Wyers said the Head Start group has come up with a projCher Wyers ect which involves hosting a mentorship conference for young women in local government which would take place around Oct. 3.

“The final outcome, because the project ends Oct. 31, will be the youth advisory council for Grand Forks,” said Wyers.

“The politicians that attend (the mentorship conference) are asked to bring one to three young ladies from their communities that they can mentor over the weekend and take back the information that they share and hopefully start youth councils in their communities.”

WADJDA is a movie of firsts.

This first feature film shot entirely in Saudi Arabia is the story of a young girl living in a suburb of Riyadh determined to raise enough money to buy a bike in a society that sees bicycles as dangerous to a girl’s virtue.

Even more impressive, WADJDA is the first feature film made by a female Saudi filmmaker. In a country where cinemas are banned and women cannot drive or vote, writer-director Haifaa Al Mansour has broken many barriers with her new film.

Book Thief: tragedy, heroism

Hello movie lovers of Grand Forks. It has been a while since I wrote about a movie but I have found one which I thought worthy of telling you about. It is called The Book Thief and is now available on DVD. It is the story of a small girl fostered by a German couple during the war and takes the viewer right up to her adulthood. Geoffrey Rush plays her foster father and Emily Watson her mother; the girl herself is unknown to me and I see she is a Canadian by the name of Sophie Nelisse.

It seems like a hard home to be brought up in but there is much tenderness between the

z Martin’s Movie Pick LIZ MARTIN

father and this small girl. She eventually adapts herself nicely to this new life and what I found out was that the German people were so brainwashed into believing all the rhetoric of the time, one begins to understand certain aspects of the Second World War. A stranger enters this home for protection against the Nazis and so the story unfolds—

I won’t give too much away. I personally think it a good idea to see what happened in Germany at that time to the locals, very enlightening indeed. It is well named, this movie, as the girl loves to read and unfortunately all the books deemed unsuitable by the government were piled high and set on fire.

Our heroine finds solace in a home in the neighbourhood where books abound. There is, of course, tragedy in the film as well as heroism, a most entertaining story indeed.

I believe this book was an international bestseller, and I believe the movie is very popular also.

Keeping you safe on two wheels Like education, the motorcycle gear you wear, whether on the road or trails, is vital to your safety.

Don’t believe me? Just ask someone who, unfortunately, has had a spill.

Here’s an example. A colleague of mine caught gravel around a bend while riding in the States.

She hit the guardrail then passed out. She was then airlifted to hospital where she suffered a minor concussion, and a few bruises and scrapes. Even the doctors were amazed how good shape she was in.

It was said to her that her gear likely saved her life. She was wearing leathers, gloves, protective boots, and a helmet.

Granted, not everyone is as lucky, but you get my point.

Furthermore, for those who have experienced an accident, and have been in proper attire, I’m pretty sure you weren’t thinking.

“Gee, I really wish I wore my shorts and flip flops!”

When I ride, I’m in full garb.

Depending on what type of riding I’m taking on that day, I’ll dress appropriately. I’m an advocate of riding gear. All of it.

Helmet: The government in British Columbia only enforces one piece of safety equipment when riding on the road. That’s a helmet.

If you’re not going to invest any money in anything else, protect your noggin’. I’m not suggesting buying the most expensive and fanciest lid out there because most of us don’t have thousands of dollars for a carbon fibre helmet.

In fact, I’ll add this too. Make sure it fits properly. Local motorcycle shops generally have trained staff in fitting helmets. They’re supposed to fit snugly.

I’ve been told that even the cheapest helmet that fits perfectly will do more for you than an expensive one that’s just not right for you.

You only have one head. Use it.

And protect it.

Jackets: There are a couple of common

Dirt Biking: Boots: Not everyone will want heavily reinforced boots. That’s fine. But if you’re going to ride, get leather footwear that at least covers your anklebone.

Speaking of which, have you ever hit your anklebone on a table leg? Hurts, doesn’t it. Now imagine a 220-kilo machine falling on it. Think safety.

Just because you fall in dirt doesn’t mean it can’t hurt!

Wearing elbow and kneepads are recommended. A lot of dirt riders will also add a chest protector/ breastplate, gloves, boots and goggles. Along with their helmet, of course.

Accessories: If you want added piece of mind, that’s available, too. I ride with a back protector with builtin kidney protectors that I put on under my jacket. I look like a Ninja Turtle, but I don’t care! They work.

A full chest protector is also available along with I’ve only scratched the surface for gear out there, but these are the basics to getting started. Bottom line, you likely won’t regret being fully suited on the road.

When it comes to tires We’re 250-442-8414

2923 Central • Grand Forks

Confessions of a Curber I surprised my family with a trip to Hawaii.

They didn’t have a clue how I paid for it. But they thought I was the best dad in the world.

While we were away, I bought a car on eBay. It had over 350,000 km on it. No one will want to buy this piece of junk, I thought.

Unless. I could just lower the mileage on it a little bit. And it won’t hurt anybody, right?

One problem – I had no idea how to change an odometer*. But as it turns out, it’s much easier than I’d expected.

With an odometer tool, I changed the reading to 164,500 km. Still a lot, but less than half the real clicks.

My ad: “Minivan – old but in great condition!

Only 164,500kms - it sat in my garage for the last 5 years. Must sell. If you’re looking for an older, but reliable and safe vehicle, call my cell and we’ll negotiate.”

Looking back, I realized I’d knocked almost 200,000 km off the vehicle. But I shined it up and put some newer used tires on it so they wouldn’t give away its true condition.

Will this get me in trouble? I wondered. I wasn’t doing anything wrong, really – this just gives me a chance to make some more money on the vehicle.

I got a phone call from a young single mom who could only afford an older vehicle. We decided to meet at her son’s school.

As I was showing her the car, I noticed the carpet, the door handles and the pedals kind of gave away its true condition.

Hopefully she’s too naïve to notice, I thought.

Forty minutes later, our exchange was complete. I probably made an extra $2,000 because of the odometer! If I’d only done this to all the other cars I sold!

Suddenly, my mind began processing the implications. That minivan was pretty much at the end of its life. That young mom is expecting the vehicle to last her for a few more years. At best, I see it lasting one more.

Parts will start failing, calling for expensive repairs. I’m certain she doesn’t have the money for that.

All I’m hoping is that it doesn’t break down on the highway. Maybe there was a reason I never did it before. Maybe, just maybe, I had a conscience up until now.

*Odometer: The law allows an odometer to be replaced when broken, but the repair must be recorded and the true mileage needs to be disclosed. CarProof and ICBC vehicle history reports can reveal more about how far a vehicle has really traveled. Even AirCare, where available, can help. And Walt is wrong; altering an odometer is a crime.

“I’d knocked off 200,000 km.

Hopefully, she’s too naïve to notice”

The City of Grand Forks Kindly Invites You To An

OPEN HOUSE Well #4/5

(Southeast Corner Dick Bartlett Park)

May 8, 2014 12 - 3 p.m.

Please join Council and City Staff at 1 p.m. for the ribbon cutting ceremony for the West Side Fire Protection Gen-set Installation Project

The Grand Forks Aquatic Centre’s Easter Bunny Swim drew over 80 people for family fun, games and draw prizes on Saturday. The Easter Bunny made balloon animals for an hour in the lobby, then directed games in the water. It was a success, aquatic centre staff proclaim: only one queasy stomach and one Band-Aid. Bunny did mess up his ears when he back-flipped in the water (not normally something the pool supports), but they should be dry and fluffy for next year.

IN BRIEF

Significantly more information about B.C.’s legislation is now free and open to the public with the expansion of the BC Laws website.

The information and services previously available by subscription through QP Legaleze will be incorporated into the BC Laws website over the next several months. This change will provide savings for businesses and members of the public doing legal research online.

The change allows anyone to access legislation, regulations and other related information online—information that previously was only available by paid subscription. Changes include improved search functionality along with a new, open licence that allows personal and commercial use of the resources on the website.

This change also ­opens opportunities for the development of applications such as mobile smartphone apps, or custom online databases of laws and regulations in a specific area (e.g., environmental laws).

Blitz may be over, but you can still register

BC Transplant has been working with Global BC to hold a 48-hour TV, online, and social media registration blitz to kick off organ donor awareness week. The blitz started Monday, April 21. It’s like a telethon, but money isn’t requested—BC Transplant wants you to register your decision on organ donation.

Statistics show that 85 per cent of British Columbians support organ donation. Just because the 48-hour-blitz is over, register anytime at transplant.bc.ca.

The arrival of warmer weather means many of us are spending more time outdoors. The change in weather also brings out ticks—small bugs that feed on the blood of humans and animals and can sometimes transmit disease.

Regional news

Regional hospital planning on hold Interior Health says a regional planning process to refurbish or replace old hospitals in West Kootenay Boundary remains two to three years away but in the meantime it’s considering improvements to the layout of the regional hospital in Trail.

Todd Mastel, the health authority’s business support director, and Ingrid Hampf, acute health services administrator, delivered the news to the regional hospital district last week.

“We’re not in a position to start regional planning based on the availability of capital dollars,” Mastel said. “But we do need to look at current pressures and challenges at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, especially in ambulatory care, pharmacy, and emergency services.”

It comes after a report last November indicated that a thorough overhaul of the Trail hospital would cost about $44 million while replacing it within its existing footprint would cost about $84 million. Kootenay Lake Hospital in Nelson, meanwhile, could use about $30 million worth of repairs and has an estimated replacement value of $63 million.

But Mastel said it doesn’t make sense to start planning their replacements knowing they would be a long way from securing provincial funding. Cost estimates and other information would likely get dated, he said.

“The interim measure of looking at what we need to do to sustain regional services in Trail is the next best step. Knowing functional needs at all of our sites, it is the next priority for the health authority within Kootenay Boundary.”

For instance, Mastel said despite the addition of an ambulatory care wing in 2001, those services are provided at several locations throughout the facility. They would prefer to have everything in one place.

Hampf said the health authority will pay for the planning, which is in its very early stages. Eventually the hospital district will be asked to kick in 40 per cent of the capital cost.

“We are going to see if there are opportunities to improve our flow,” Hampf said. “Interior Health is committed to putting those

operating dollars in.”

She said by the hospital board’s next meeting in June they should have a better handle on timeframes and other details, but a final proposal won’t be ready till fall.

Rural Castlegar director Gord Zaitsoff said he was disappointed to hear the larger planning process is on hold, as he expected it would be underway by now.

(The City of Castlegar has hired former city manager and regional district administrator Jim Gustafson to gather input from local governments in the region on a strategic plan for acute care, but Nelson and Trail declined to take part for fear of upsetting the status quo.)

Nelson mayor John Dooley asked if any improvements are planned for Kootenay Lake Hospital but was told that since it recently received a new emergency room, the health authority is now focusing on Trail.

The hospital board also urged Interior Health to get on with upgrades to the emergency room at Arrow Lakes Hospital in Nakusp. The project didn’t make it onto this year’s list of funding requests, but remains on the books for next year. $2 million added to Kootenay hospital reserve Another $2 million will be added to a capital reserve this year for major health care upgrades in the West Kootenay Boundary, even as hospital taxes drop.

The regional hospital district board, which pays 40 per cent of capital improvements, chose that amount last week over three other options presented by treasurer Stuart Horn: zero, $500,000, or $1 million, each of which would result in a tax decrease because Interior Health is asking for about $900,000 less this year. The option endorsed by the board will mean a 16.4 per cent tax break.

The reserve is revisited annually. The board also set aside $2 million last year, bringing the total to $5.7 million.

East Shore director Garry Jackman, who made both the original motion to create the reserve three years ago and the motion last week to maintain the same contribution, told 103.5 The Bridge it’s intended to “respond to any unexpected requests to partner in a major planning process for the future of acute care in this hospital district.

Provincial news

Animal Health Act updated After nearly seven decades on the books, B.C.’s Animal Health Act is getting an overhaul, giving the province the ability to limit the spread of current and emerging diseases and better respond to potentially disastrous outbreaks.

The Animal Health Act introduced last week brings B.C.’s legislation into harmony with other legislation across Canada, and addresses the realities of increasing global travel and trade. At present, there are few diseasemanagement actions that can be taken apart from quarantine of individual farms. The Animal Health Act enables government to respond as needed with modern animal disease management practices such as inspections, seizures, orders, penalties and enacting emergency powers.

Six Canadian provinces and territories have modernized their animal health legislation since 2007.

MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE to the Grand Forks Gazette

B.C.’s new Animal Health Act: • Increases the number of reportable and notifiable diseases from nine to about 100, many of which were not known when the act was last substantially revised in 1948. It will now include diseases like rabies and foot and mouth disease, as well as syndromes, infestations and environmental toxins such as lead or dioxins.

• Improve the early detection of animal diseases

through expanded monitoring and surveillance programs.

• Require producers to take preventive measures to reduce the risk of introducing and spreading disease; ensure employees are trained to prevent and respond to disease; maintain records of animal origin; abide by inspector’s orders and report any incidents of disease or unusual illness.

• Increase disease control measures such as restricting the movement or sale of affected animals, animal products (such as milk or eggs) or animal by-products such as wool or hides.

• Increase the maximum penalty under the act from $2,000 to $75,000 and create an administrative penalty system for less serious contraventions.

This legislation updates a bill first introduced in 2012, and clarifies there will be no restriction on the general public, including media, from reporting the presence of diseases. The legislation is based on widespread industry, government and public consultation that concluded in 2011.

In order to encourage surveillance and reporting of unusual and undiagnosed animal symptoms and behaviour, the act protects the personal information of farmers submitting samples to the government for testing. Once a reportable animal disease is confirmed, government is obligated and accountable to take specific actions to address health risks, including various levels of monitor-

Organ donation a selfless act

Ninety five per cent of British Columbians support the idea of donating a kidney to someone in need, according to a survey released by The Kidney Foundation of Canada, BC Branch during National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week (April 20-27).

When an Ipsos online survey* conducted in the last week of March asked British Columbians “Are you registered as an organ donor?” 51 per cent of the British Columbians surveyed said yes, yet only 19 per cent of all British Columbians are actually registered on BC’s organ donor registry.

Karen Philp, executive director of the BC Branch of the Kidney Foundation, says the gap between those saying they are registered and the official record is because B.C.’s organ donor registration process is misunderstood.

“Almost two thirds of people we surveyed said they registered with their driver’s licence, but B.C. has not had that process in place since 1997,” says Philp. “Clearly the lack of clarity about how to register is a barrier. Our survey shows that British Columbians are ready and willing to give the gift of life, but may be unable to because

they are not actually registered as an organ donor.”

“Transplantation is clearly the best treatment for patients with kidney failure, transplant recipient living longer, have a better quality of life, and consume fewer health care resources than patients treated with dialysis, said Dr. John Gill, a leading clinician scientist in the field of kidney transplantation in Canada. “However the need for kidney transplantation exceeds the number of donated organs, and many patients who could benefit never receive a transplant. We know Canadians strongly support organ donation, yet most do not operationalize their intention to donate by registering as organ donors. If everyone who supported donation actually donated, waiting lists could be dramatically reduced if not eliminated and many lives would be saved. Any initiative that increases awareness, and makes it easier for Canadians indicate their intention to donate is a positive step.”

Bonnie Leclerc, a dialysis patient in Quesnel waiting for a kidney transplant, said, “More people registered means there is a greater chance of a kidney match for me. What a donated kidney would mean for me and my family is hard to put into words. We need to make it easier for people to register to be an organ donor. ” There is no cure for kidney disease, and the best available therapy for most people on dialysis is a kidney transplant. The demand for kidney transplants far outweighs the supply. Demand has increased by 60% over REMATION the past ten years, and the need for organs is MORPHETT, Sharon – projected to grow significantly over the next two RNS passed away peacefully at decades.

My special Thank You to those ‘You’s’ who were on Lodge/Hospital Staff. The doctors and nurses for their oversight, support and intervention as required. The care staff, ready to help twenty-four hours a day, doing all those things for us that we could no longer do for ourselves. The management staff for their oversight, coordination and intervention, and willingness to correct improprieties. And finally, all those people who are sometimes forgotten, but keep the hospital and the Lodge functioning, whether in maintenance, kitchen, office, lab, physiotherapy, transport, etc.

My world, shattered by Alzheimer’s and Dementia, would have been a horrible lonely existence without each and everyone of ‘You’.”

So what now?

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month LESLIE DAVIDSON

to the Grand Forks Gazette

A Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis is a lifechanger. There are the practical implications.

Whom do you tell? How understanding is an employer going to be? How large will the financial burden be? How do you plan a future with an ever-escalating need for care?

And remember that depression, anxiety and apathy piece from Lesson 1? Those nasty gremlins compound fatigue and make being proactive almost impossible for some PWP’s.

Parkinson’s also packs an emotional wallop, taking its toll on families and friendships. PwP’s need support and there is lots available. Most now turn to the Internet.

And here’s my final personal note: If, tomorrow, my Parkinson Disease could disappear and, with it, everything I have learned about myself and the infinite goodness of those I love, and all the incredible connections I have made within the patient community, I would have a very tough decision to make. The disease has changed me, humbled me, made me stronger, more compassionate, more assertive, and in many ways, more creative. It makes me angry, makes me grateful, and it makes me laugh. Parkinson has not been the end of my world, as I once, thought but it has changed it. It is an opportunity to learn what “living the good life” really means.
