Chris Stanley-Jones was the last name picked in the reverse draw for a shopping spree in the Gazette’s $2,106 in 2016 contest. StanleyJones will have 2,016 seconds to spend $2,016 at participating local businesses. StanleyJones name was picked last out of 18 semifinalists (above) who gathered at the Gazette office last Thursday.

Sponsoring businesses for the contest this year were: B&F Sales and Service, Boundary Home Building Centre, Buy-Low Foods, Extra Foods, Flooring Canada (Grand Forks Flooring), Florence’s Jewellery, the Gazette, Grand Forks Home Hardware Downtown, Grand Forks Renovation Centre (Castle), Station Pub, Morrissey Creek Building Supplies, Neighbours Computers/Contact Photo Arts, Overwaitea, Pharmasave, Sears Grand Forks, The Source, Thistle Pot Gifts and Work n Play.

Boundary District Teachers’ Association vicepresident Debra Klockenbrink recently provided the School District 51 board of education with an update regarding teachers response to the soonto-be implemented new curriculum, and the two additional non-instructional days (NIDs) slated for this school year in the district.

Speaking at the recent SD51 board meeting on Jan. 12 in Midway, she identified Feb. 12 and April 18 as the added non-instructional days, designed to provide teachers an opportunity to network with their colleagues regarding the redesigned curriculum, which will be put in place for the school year beginning in September 2016.

Kindergarten to Grade 9 will be first out of the block with the new curriculum, followed by Grades 10-12 the following year.

The new curriculum affords teachers more flexibility and creativity in how education is delivered and how assessments are made. It is based largely on the concept that all kids can get passionate about something that interests them— whether it’s dinosaurs, soccer or music—and that their education should be geared more toward those passions and designed as a more personalized educational platform.

Rather than the traditional “regurgitation” of material that student assessments are based on, students will be encouraged to concentrate on subjects that truly engage their imaginations. For instance, many parents know first hand how video games are a part of life—at home and on mobile devices; within the new curriculum, students could turn their gaming passions into knowledge and, ultimately, into job skills.

At the meeting, Klockenbrink began by asking the hypothetical question, “What are we trying to achieve and how did we get here?” as a platform for her update to the board. She noted key dates last fall which saw the curriculum implementation committee convene in November and again in December to start planning the framework around the additional non-instructional days.

A subcommittee was formed to come up with a survey to send to teachers trying to determine

Two unidentified males walked up to the front of the store as staff was locking up for the night, and threw a large rock through a door window. One man then crawled through the hole in the glass as his counterpart stood watch outside, armed with a baseball bat. An undisclosed amount of cash was then stolen from the unlocked safe before the suspects fled in a pickup truck, which was later discovered abandoned.

Council says no to tax

COUNCIL BRIEFS

By Craig Lindsay

It was a sparse crowd at the first council meeting of 2016. Council met on Jan. 11 for the regular council meeting and discussed several issues including a possible hotel tax and a borrowing bylaw.

together. Right now as it stands there are no participants west of Grand Forks…I want people to understand that if we vote on this it only includes Grand Forks and Christina Lake.”

The vote was close, but in the end council voted against supporting an initiative to add a two per cent tax to hotels and other accommodators.

Voting for the motion were councillors Christine Thompson, Neil Krog and Colleen Ross. Voting against were Mayor Frank Konrad and councillors Chris Hammett and Julia Butler. A tie vote is defeated.

The proposal was brought forward by the Christina Gateway Community Development Association (CDA) representing several tourism accommodators and non-profit societies. They are hoping to get enough support to apply to the Ministry of Finance for approval of a two per cent municipal and regional district tax (MRDT) for the designated accommodation area that includes the majority of RDKB electoral areas C (Christina Lake), D (Rural Grand Forks) and E (West Boundary), and the municipalities within.

Greenwood and Midway also voted to not support the hotel tax at this time.

The funds from the hotel tax would be intended to implement a marketing plan to help boost tourism in the region. Council asked staff to get more details and revisit the issue at a future council meeting.

“I think the concept in principle is good—to promote tourism in the Boundary region,” said Hammett at council. “The key is the Boundary region because we’re all tied

YOUR NEWS VIEW

Kudos to Bruins

With more than a month left in the season the Grand Forks Border Bruins have qualified for the KIJHL play-offs for the first time in about 20 years.

The last time the Bruins sniffed post-season action, Jean Chretien was Prime Minister, Hanson had the top song with Mmm Bop and Titanic was the top movie. In fact many of the current Bruins weren’t even born when the franchise last played in the playoffs.

The Bruins have shown great improvement this year thanks to gritty play and hard work.

The new coaching staff this year (Emery Olauson and Britt Ouellette) have instilled discipline and a strong work ethic and the players have followed suit.

The last third or so of the season won’t be easy.

The top KIJHL teams have also all improved and none will take the Bruins lightly, especially after three wins over top-seeded Beaver Valley.

With most of the team eligible to return next season, the Bruins look to have a bright future.

This year, though, with hard work and some breaks it’s not out of the question for GF to think divisional finals. Now that would be a great ending.

As you may have noticed I’ve make a few pie charts. Writing about this and that is great but from time to time I yearn to try something different. Stretch my creative juices if I can mix a metaphor. Believe me this will not be a regular thing. If it goes over well I may break out the pie charts at a later date but it was not an easy thing. I am not graphically very creative. I leave that to our excellent production team (Della and Dustin). I prefer to be creative with my writing and photography.

Let’s move ahead Contest sends strong message on election reform Letters

to the editor

Editor, The Gazette: I wanted to thank the staff of the Grand Forks Gazette and all the sponsors of the 2016 shopping spree contest.

My name was drawn at the Extra Foods store, which made me one of the lucky 18 final contestants.

The draw for the ultimate

winner of the shopping spree was held at the Gazette office and was well attended by finalists and their spouses, staff and local dignitaries. Along with the tasty appies was the strong message of thank you for supporting local businesses which was well received by those in attendance.

I would like to thank Extra Foods for the $25 gift certificate I received as a runner-up and congratulate the ultimate winner.

Thanks again, Grand Forks…way to go!

Lynn Whyte, Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette: On Thursday, Jan. 7, we were privileged to attend the documentary film This Changes Everything based on Naomi Klein’s international research.

Her conclusion is that unlimited economic growth is not sustainable for our planet, neither from economic, social or environmental points of view.

Although from an economist’s perspective this may be essential ot our ongoing financial success, it is not possible in a finite world.

A discussion period was held after the film, mostly about some local concerns which are very important.

However, some of these concerns will mean very little if the unlimited growth and corporate project model of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Canadian-European Trade Agreement (CETA) are passed into law. If these agreements are ratified, truly, “this changes everything.”

I encourage your readers to familiarize themselves with

the impacts that these trade agreements will have on us, as Canadians in particular, but also as world citizens and also encourage your readers to make their opinions known to the prime minister, the minister of international trade and our local MP, Richard Cannings. Silence in this case is not “golden.”

Finally a big “thumbs up” to those who brought this film to the GEM Theatre.

Peter Brown, Grand Forks

Voters made clear choices for change in the federal election, and one of those choices was for electoral reform. The Liberals, NDP and Green parties all loudly pledged that the 2015 election would be the last held in Canada under the first-past-the-post voting system, and those parties collectively received nearly two-thirds of the popular vote in the election.

Why did these promises resonate with most Canadians? Because too many feel that their vote doesn’t count in the present system. The recent federal election resulted in a large Liberal majority, despite the fact that the Liberals only received 39 per From the hill cent of the popular vote. Coincidentally, this was the same level of popu- RICHARD CANNINGS lar vote that gave the Conservatives a strong majority in Ottawa in the 2011 election. The time for an electoral system that better reflects the views of Canadians is long overdue.

The NDP ran on a promise to bring in proportional representation— a system that would combine the geographical riding representation we have now with a selection of MPs based on overall popular vote.

This would create a parliament where the proportion of MPs from each party would match the proportion of the popular vote received. While some are concerned that this would create more minority parliaments, it can easily be shown that minority governments generally promote cooperation and collaboration among parties and work well in most democratic countries around the world.

The Liberals ran on a promise to simply change the electoral system, stating that they would consult Canadians in some manner to select an alternative to first-past-the-post. Justin Trudeau says he personally would like to see a preferential ballot, even though that system that would create more false majorities instead of fewer. We can only hope that the consultation process will settle on a new method that will be a significant improvement on the old one.

Before the House of Commons broke for Christmas, the Conservatives repeatedly called for the government to hold a referendum on this issue, claiming that this would be the only democratic way to choose a new electoral system. And in a truly ironic twist, they recently threatened to block any electoral change bill in the decidedly undemocratic Senate.

I think Canadians have already signalled that the government should move ahead on electoral reform, joining over 90 per cent of the world’s developed countries that have abandoned first-past-thepost. They want a new system that will make every vote count and fight political cynicism across the country. People are naturally skeptical—even afraid—of changing a system they know well. I like Nathan Cullen’s suggestion to let the people decide whether to keep the new system after a couple of elections—then they’d be choosing based on knowledge, not on fear of the unknown. ~~~ On the office front, phones have been installed in Penticton and will be installed in Castlegar on Jan. 21.

what understanding they had of the new curriculum and areas they felt they needed more experience with.

Seventy-four teachers responded to the survey, 63 of which reported that they were comfortable using the new curriculum website, and 57 reporting that they had significantly explored the new curriculum.

Many teachers reported having already experimented with the different components of the curriculum—Big Ideas, Core Competencies and Curricular Content, though less than half reported that they have changed their reporting and assessment practices.

On Jan. 11, the planning committee, comprised of 7.5 teachers and 2.5 administrators (10 altogether; some have dual roles within their schools and are considered half teacher, half administrator) met to set a more definitive schedule and picture of the Feb. 12 session. The committee felt that minimum orientation would be required for teachers navigating the curriculum website, but was concerned about the groupings of teachers during the session. It was deemed important that the committee recognize and respect the varied amounts of knowledge and experience that teachers have regarding the new curriculum, as well as their different questions and needs.

“We are all coming at it from a different place with different levels of knowledge and experience,” said Klockenbrink, “and we all have different questions.”

The committee decided to adopt an organic “edcamp” format for both non-instructional days that would have no set schedule. Rather, teachers will be asked to arrive at the session armed with specific goals and questions around the new curriculum. Session coordinators will then group the teachers based on similar themes to maximize teachers’ experiences throughout the day.

There will be no classes on the non-instructional days.

SD51 BRIEFS By Andrew Tripp

School District 51 held its regular board meeting Tuesday, Jan. 12 at the Boundary Learning Centre in Midway.

Board members busy with concerts Superintendant Kevin Argue and Director of Learning Doug Lacey were both kept busy during December, taking in most of the district’s school Christmas concerts, including those at West Boundary, Hutton, Perley, Beaverdell and Christina Lake elementary schools, along with GFSS, as well as the BCSS production of All Shook Up.

Perley had its library painted and recarpeted and a handicap washroom installed; GFSS had new linoleum laid in the staff room, the school’s gymnasium floor was refinished and the auditorium robotic lights were cleaned and the new sound system installation completed.

Additionally, the weight room equipment at BCSS was moved from the workout room to the stage area in the gymnasium.

New systems installations imminent

Technological updates completed The IT department was busy over the holidays, making technological updates throughout the district. These include: • Software updates on all switches • Deployment of PaloAlto firewalls to BWCS, BES, WBES, MES, BCSS, GES, and CLES (in preparation for NGN / PLNet transition) • Began migrating fiber sites off PLNet hardware (preparation for NGN / PLNet transition) • Upgrades to phone systems to current shipping version • Added additional network drops for GFSS TV Studio computers • Completed installation of fiber terminations in datacenter for City/ RDKB offices • Replaced UPS’s in WBES and IT building for servers

CREDIT UNION GIVES NOTICE OF ELECTION OF DIRECTORS We will be the first choice for financial services for residents of the Boundary region. We will be seen and acknowledged as a regional asset and builder of our communities.

Looking for a new place to put your passion?

Consider getting involved

Grand Forks Credit Union (GFCU) has been serving our members – who live near and far – since 1949. We are a member-owned financial cooperative. Each and every one of our members makes a difference to our well-being – both as a locally owned and operated company and as citizens living and contributing together within our communities.

Imagine, if you will, the 19 original founders of our credit union meeting at the Grower’s Exchange one August evening in 1949 and contributing $30 each. Granted its charter on August 22, 1949, the Credit Union started attracting attention.

Within a year, 50 members had joined and assets were over $400.

Today, we are almost 9,000 members strong with more than $220 million dollars in assets providing a full range of competitive financial products and services and continually re-investing into our communities.

What would the Boundary be like if the credit union had never been born – or suddenly disappeared today? From the beginning, our job has been to make a way for regular people to access financing to help them live their dreams… originally for farmers and small business. We’ve stayed true to our purpose, continuing in the tradition of the cooperative movement.

Grand Forks Credit Union Tues to Fri 9:30 am - 5 pm and Sat 9:30 am - 1 pm 250-442-5511 • www.gfdscu.com

How do I express my interest to run in the election?

If you are interested in becoming a candidate in the 2016 Board of Directors’ Election, please download the Candidates’ Intro Kit which outlines what is required of a Director in terms of time and qualifications. And please email us at info@gfdscu.com to express your interest in having a member of our Member & Community Relations Committee contact you.

What is GFCU looking for in its prospective candidates?

GFCU needs leaders who bring with them a broad range of skills and attributes that strongly align with our values and that support and strengthen the current Board’s ongoing commitment to implementing our strategic vision.

Did you know…?

Credit unions, called by various names around the world, are member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperatives that provide savings, credit and other financial services

to their members. Credit union membership is based on a common bond, a linkage shared by savers and borrowers who belong to a specific community, organization, religion or place of employment.

Credit unions pool their members’ savings deposits and shares to finance their own loan portfolios rather than rely on outside capital.

Members benefit from higher returns on savings, lower rates on loans and fewer fees on average.

Credit unions worldwide offer members from all walks of life much more than financial services. They provide members the chance to own their own financial institution and help them create opportunities such as starting small businesses, growing farms, building family homes and educating their children. Regardless of account size in the credit union, each member may run for the volunteer board of directors and cast a vote in elections. In some countries, members encounter their first taste of democratic decision making through their credit unions.* *WOCCU.org website excerpt

Scotch Tasting set for Jan. 30

249 /ton

WHERE: WHEN: WHO: WHAT:

Grand Forks Gazette

With a new venue, the Grand Forks Rotary Club’s 8th annual Scotch Tasting event promises to be bigger and better than ever.

The Scotch Tasting event is moving to the curling club from gallery 2 and will be held on Saturday, Jan. 30. Tickets are only $35 and are available at Sears in Grand Forks.

“The preparations are going well,” said Gord Nichols, organizing committee chair.

“The venue has been booked, we have our licence, we’ve purchased our scotches. Our main challenge right now is trying to sell tickets. We want to sell at least 80 tickets.”

Nichols said sales have been decent so far with almost twothirds of the tickets sold. “We’re doing okay but we do need to have a few more tickets sold by the end of the month,” he said.

With the Rotary Spray Park in City Park completed in October, the club has no major projects on the horizon at this time, but Nichols said the money raised at the Scotch Tasting will help with local and international projects.

Once again there a number of new Scotches on the menu and one or two old favourites.

One of the highlights is an $88 Scotch from India (Amrut) and a $145 21-year-old Aberfeldy Highlands.

Other Scotches are a 12-yearold Benraich Sherry Matured from Speyside; 12-year-old Caol Ila from Islay; 13-year-old Craigellachie from Speyside; Oban Little Bay from Highlands and an 18-year-old Tomatin from the Highlands.

“It’s getting harder to find the higher quality scotches that are on the LCB (Liquor Control Board) list (that we haven’t used),” said Nichols. “But so far we’re doing okay. We also try to

spread them out throughout the Scotch-producing regions of Scotland (Islay, Highlands and Speyside). This year we’ve got one scotch from India. In the past we’ve had Scotches from Canada and Japan. This time we’re trying a Scotch from India.”

Nichols says the Scotch Tasting is an informal event and everyone gets five drink tickets.

There are also finger foods to snack on.

“We’ll also have a selection of wines and beer for people who want to try those,” he said.

“We have a designated driver program for $15. The designated driver can participate in the food and soft drinks.”

There is also a safe ride home by donation.

Nichols also noted that there are tables and chairs and people can sit down and socialize as they sample several savoury Scotches.

Wilgress Lake. There is a first, second and third place, so don’t miss out.

There is lots going on up at Wilgress. We also will have a snowshoe race for the kids and prizes for each race. For those who would like to fish and don’t have equipment and rods, come and see us at the booth and we will help you.

Remember you must have a fishing licence if over 16 years of age.

Last but not least is our ever-so-popular “For the Love of Fishing” Valentine’s Draw.

This great idea is a chance for the fisherman to bring home a super gift basket filled with many items from all our super merchants of Grand Forks. It’s not just about fishing; it’s about our loved ones as well.

So please come on out and support us and have fun with your family.

Literacy

‘Play together’ for Family Literacy Day Public library and CBAL join together for Literacy Day event SHEILA DOBIE

Submitted to the Gazette

On Friday, Jan. 22, join the Grand Forks and District Public Library and Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy for a Family Literacy Day “Let’s Play Together” event to raise awareness of the importance of literacy and engaging in play-based literacy activities as a family.

The event celebrates Family Literacy Week, an annual campaign that honours family literacy in B.C. Family Literacy Week builds on ABC Life Literacy Canada’s Family Literacy Day, a national awareness initiative created in 1999 and celebrated annually across Canada on Jan. 27.

Literacy is important for all British Columbians, including children and families.

Families who engage in playbased literacy activities when children are young see positive effects on both the children and parents/ caregivers.

Simple activities offer rich oppor-

tunities for interaction and learning.

These activities help create healthy relationships and help prepare children to enter school.

In Grand Forks the “Lets Play Together” family literacy event will be held at the library from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m.

It will be fun for all ages! Music, fun, games, photo booth, make a colouring book, food, door prize, and a family musical workshop with Leeza runs from 2:15 - 3:15 p.m.

In addition, Decoda Literacy Solutions is celebrating family literacy with a province-wide online photo contest (#FLW2016) to encourage people to share their family literacy activities.

Decoda has also developed free “Let’s Play Together!” activity sheets for families and programs that work with young children.

Take the time to write with a free workshop in February SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Learn to write with confidence in a supportive and fun environment during a free 30hour writing workshop being hosted by the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy.

Grand Forks writer Erin Perkins will be leading the Writing Out Loud curriculum, which starts Feb. 2 and carries on twice a week for five weeks.

“We all have stories to tell but don’t always have the confidence to tell them,” Perkins said.

“The Writing Out Loud course will provide writers of all levels the opportunity to gain the skills and confidence necessary to write whatever they want— from personal journaling to short stories.”

Writing Out Loud is a 30-hour adult writing program designed to inspire and encourage writers at all skill levels to improve their written work. The one-anda-half-hour sessions will include free writing exercises, great discussions and information on how to further expand and enjoy the writing experience.

No writing experience neces-

sary, just the desire to learn.

Perkins has more than 20 years experience as a communications professional including 15 years as a journalist and managing editor for newspapers in B.C. and the Northwest Territories.

She has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English from Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo.

Preregistration is required.

To register, contact Sheila Dobie, CBAL Boundary Community Literacy Coordinator, at sdobie@ cbal.org or by calling her at 250584-4109.

Students should bring a pen or pencil and a notepad for the writing exercises.

Writing Out Loud will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays

ERIN PERKINS

from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the meeting room at gallery 2, 524 Central Ave. Grand Forks.

On behalf of the Grand Forks Community Christmas Dinner Committee, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the individual community members, businesses, organizations and church groups who contributed to making this 34rd Annual Christmas Dinner another success! Our heartfelt thanks and appreciation!

Community

Phoenix Foundation created to provide financial help

In our small communities, many talented, energetic people have ideas about how to make life better in the Boundary. We want that, of course.

We want to notice: when there are people without somewhere warm and safe to sleep; sports activities missing for kids; few options for adults wanting to read better; or a lack of opportunities for artistic expression. “Ideas” people start connecting with others—and work together to make something happen.

This is how we “got” the museums we have; our library, art gallery, community choir, the women’s transition house, sports teams and on and on. This process still happens. New groups emerge, get folks behind a vision, and push to make positive changes.

A critical moment often occurs in this process, when a group realizes that it needs an injection of cash to accomplish their goals.

Not a lot of cash, necessarily, but some. To get the ball rolling, so to speak.

Service clubs, churches and local businesses (large and small) and other organizations are frequently approached with appeals to help finance projects. Local

PHOENIX FOUNDATION OF THE BOUNDARY COMMUNITIES

government officials (city councils, and regional directors) have been tapped for funds often. And all have, and continue to, help tremendously.

Grand Forks City Councillor Christine Thompson shares: “In 1997 a group of local citizens approached Grand Forks City Council with a proposal to establish a community foundation. Council felt this proposal had merit, and in celebration of Canada’s Centennial passed a resolution to contribute $100,000 to help in establishing the foundation.”

Together with donations from individuals and groups the Phoenix Foundation was created, almost 20 years ago, to provide another source of financial assistance. We invest donations and only the interest on those investments are distributed each year.

Community needs are closely monitored and the community has a voice in deciding which

The Fun Spot

projects should be supported.

“Why I support the Phoenix Foundation,” said Area C/Christina Lake regional district director Grace MacGregor, “is that with the foundation there is more granting available to groups.

“The money coming from government has been drying up, and that’s what it is going to continue to do. I do have the grant-in-aid program, but have many restrictions about who and for what I can provide money. Building up the funds at Phoenix Foundation is a good strategy for future grants in our area.”

Since 1998, through the Phoenix Foundation Community Grants Program alone, $427,532.18 has flowed back into Boundary communities. In 2015 we received 20 letters with approximately $152,090 requested.

Twelve projects were approved, which were valued at $39,809.45.

So you can see that many requests for community grants still remain unfulfilled. That’s why we still need to raise more. Check us out: www.phoenix-foundation.ca.

In the next column, we address: Besides community grants, what else does the Phoenix Foundation give money toward?

Nominations open for B.C.’s highest honour SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Nominations are now open for the Order of British Columbia, the Province’s highest honour for individuals who have served with great distinction or excelled in any field.

British Columbians are encouraged to consider and nominate inspiring individuals who have left a lasting legacy in their respective fields.

The Order of British Columbia is one way of rewarding and recognizing those British Columbians whose extraordinary contributions and achievements have contributed to a better quality of life in the province and beyond.

“As the province’s highest honour the Order of British Columbia represents generosity of spirit, dedication and outstanding achievement,” said Judith Guichon, Lieutenant Governor and Chancellor of the Order of British Columbia. “I encourage everyone to reflect on those in their community whose leadership, hard work and extraordinary accomplishments serve to strengthen the integrity of our province and to recognize these individuals by nominating them as a member of the Order of British Columbia.”

Since the Order of British Columbia was established in 1989, the province has recognized 386 British Columbians from a variety of sectors including the business, volunteer, arts and sporting communities.

An independent advisory council, chaired by the chief justice of British Columbia, will consider nominations. Successful nominees will be appointed to the Order at a special ceremony at Government House in Victoria.

Any B.C. citizen can submit a nomination. More information, nomination forms and submission instructions are available online (www.orderofbc.gov.bc.ca), by email (bchonoursandawards@gov.bc.ca),or by telephone (250-387-1616). All nominations must be subitted to the Honours and Awards Secretariat office in Victoria by Friday, March 4.

Exhibit A a market place CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A new business offering local vendors an opportunity to sell their wares in one location opened recently here in Grand Forks. Exhibit A Artisan Market Place opened in November 2015 just in time for the Christmas season.

“We have spaces here that artisans and crafters rent and display their products,” said owner CloAnne Morasse. “It’s a constantly evolving change of products, gift and other items for people to come in and purchase.”

Morasse said the artisan/ crafter does not have to be in the building selling their products.

“It’s not a craft fair, it’s more of a real estate storefront,” she said. “It’s a market place. You bring your stuff in and we sell it. The crafter or artisan rents their space and pays a small commission for sales.”

Morasse said they have about a dozen shops set up at Exhibit A currently. She expects that number to expand once they are able to finish renovations.

“We have three more spots reserved for the next month or so,” she said. “In February we will have room for 12 addition-

al vendors. There will be a total of 30 vendors or artisans in here at that point with the potential for expansion after that.”

Morasse said she is still looking at making improvements to the location including putting in a stained floor and a row of booths down the centre in the upcoming months.

“We’ll also do some painting and some decorating,” she said.

Morasse’s Exhibit A Artisan Market Place shares the old What About Bob’s/T&T building with her husband’s Indigo Wood wood carving business.

The couple have lived in Grand Forks since 2005. They came to the Boundary from Squamish where they operated a store for about 15 year.

“We were driving through one day and it just called to us and felt like home,” said Morasse. “We decided to check it out. We spent about a year looking at places and finally found a spot we wanted and purchased it and made the move.”

Morasse said they love the sunshine and the friendliness of the people as well as the ever-present deer. “I’m really appreciative of the response from people in the short time we’ve been open,” she said. “The vendors are all excited and they are helping to spread the word.”

Morasse said Exhibit A has a variety of different crafters and artisans in place. She said they do have seasonal ones that have moved on but she stresses they are always adding new vendors and new products.

“Most of them here have signed on long-term,” she said.

“They’ve signed on for a year with renewal options after that. We have three-, six- and 12-month options. We have crafters come and go. It will always be evolving as far as what is in here.”

Morasse said that she has already had a great response from the community. “I’ve had an amazing response already,” she said. “We’ve had a steady stream of customers come in to the store. People are responding well to the idea of being able to come in and find the crafter or artisan that they’re used to around here. The crafters and artisans are excited themselves to be able to have a space to show their stuff and that they don’t have to be here to sell it.”

Exhibit A has a variety of crafting and artisans wares including knitting, wood turning, high end sewing, jewelry, pajama bottoms, and much more.

The store is currently open from Wednesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Thank You

Stretching is natural

So many benefits to stretching Stretching, in its most basic form, is a natural and automatic action. People often stretch instinctively after waking from sleep or after long periods of inactivity.

While the benefits of daily exercise are numerous and well known, the benefits of a regular stretching routine are far less emphasized but just as important. Incorporating stretching into your daily workouts or into your regular day on their own is just as important to health and body functioning as regular exercise.

The most established and obvious benefit of stretching is to help improve flexibility and range of motion. As the body ages, muscles can become tighter and range of motion in the joints can be minimized. A lack of flexibility can cause movement to become slower and less fluid, making an individual more susceptible to muscle strains or other soft tissue injuries. This can put a damper on active lifestyles and even hinder day-to-day, normal motions. An increase in flexibility is accompanied by improved balance and coordination.

Chronically tense and tight

I would like to personally thank the sponsors that each and every year make it possible to hold the annual Boundary shopping spree. Thank you to the City of Grand Forks, the Grand Forks & District Saving Credit Union, the Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Grand Forks Gazette/Black Press.

Without your support we would not be able to launch this great promotion.

Thank you to the 18 businesses that participated in this year’s shopping spree. You are the ones that make it happen!

Thank you to Jogas Coffee & Espresso for coming to our rescue and donating carafes of coffee for the draw.

We strongly believe and encourage our residents to shop local and we thank you all for making it happen.

muscles can also contribute to poor posture. Stretching helps to ensure correct posture by lengthening tight muscles that pull areas of the body away from their intended position. Stretching the muscles of the lower back, chest and shoulders can help keep the spine in better alignment and improve overall posture.

A buildup of stress causes your muscles to contract, becoming tense. This tension can go on to have a negative impact on just about every part of your body.

Like all types of exercise, flexibility exercises like stretching have powerful stress-busting abilities.

Spending just a short amount of time (10-15 minutes) stretching each day can help calm the mind, providing a mental break and giving your body a chance to recharge.

Retired physiotherapist Gisela Ko offers Stretching for Mobility on Tuesday afternoons from 1 - 2 p.m. and again on Friday mornings from 11 –

12 p.m. A drop-in fee of $2 applies.

Gisela offers Stretching for Mobility at the Christina Lake Community Hall on Wednesday afternoons from 1 – 2 p.m.

A drop-in fee of $2 applies.

Winter activities don’t have to be costly Snowshoeing and cross country skiing are two fun, social winter recreational activities that you can do without a huge cost.

GFREC is offering an introductory snowshoe/cross country workshop for women ages 16 and over to try both winter activities.

Registration fee is $10 which includes equipment rental. The event will be scheduled on Sunday, Feb. 14 from 10 – 2 p.m. Space is limited so please call today to register. *** Go to the regional district website at www.rdkb.com by looking under “services” and selecting Grand Forks.

Local curlers heading to BC Winter Games LEIGH WILSON-STARCHUK to the Grand Forks Gazette

On Jan. 15, the Juvenile Boys Curling Team of Colin Anderson, Devin Anderson, Elliott Starchuk and Dawson Reid from Grand Forks travelled to Invermere to play off for the right to represent Zone 1 at the BC Winter Games.

The team make up is as follows: Skip – Colin Anderson, Third – Devin Anderson, Second – Elliott Starchuk, and Lead – Dawson Reid.

The first game was held at 7 p.m. Friday night at the Invermere Curling Club.

The game was a closely fought battle with the teams exchanging single points in the first two ends. The third end was blanked. The Geiger rink took two points in the fourth end to have a two point lead going into the fourth end break.

The Anderson rink was forced to a single point in the fifth end but stole one in the sixth end to tie the game up at three. Geiger was forced to one in the seventh end to have the lead coming home in the final end.

Anderson was able to get one to tie the game

up and force and extra end. The game went to the Anderson rink in the extra end with a steal of one.

Game 2 was played Saturday morning at 10 a.m. This game started with a blank end followed

by Geiger getting his two points in the second end. The Anderson rink came back with a very strong end in the third end and took four. They continued to force the play in the fourth end and stole one going into the break.

The score after four ends of play was 5-2 for the Anderson rink. The Geiger team came back in the fifth end and took three tying up at five all.

The sixth end saw the Anderson rink respond strongly getting their two for a 7-5 lead. Geiger was forced to one point in the seventh end. The Anderson rink started the eighth end one up with the hammer.

Geiger’s last shot was a draw attempt but he came up light, meaning that Anderson did not have to throw his last rock. The Anderson rink won the game by a score of 7-6.

The Anderson rink will now represent Zone 1 in the BC Winter Games in Penticton in February.

The Anderson rink from Grand Forks will be prepresenting the Kotoenays at the BC Winter Games after qualifying last weekend in Invermere.

The junior Wolves of Grand Forks Secondary are still undefeated following two more victories in the last week.

However, the victories came in very different fashion.

GFSS faced rival Stanley Humphries (Castlegar) in their home gymnasium on Jan. 13.

Castlegar came in the more prepared squad after already competing in nine games compared to the wolves three. “(Stanley) Humphries was the more organized squad in the first half. They moved the ball well, made smart passes, and their three standout players all scored on layups. That’s a recipe for success for any team.”

The Junior Wolves were down 25-16 at halftime, but after a focused talk with the team, the wolves came out with a renewed effort in the second half. “ I told them it was all about being mentally strong,” said O’Brien. “We can’t expect to win every game by 40.

We didn’t do that last year. Take the adversity, roll with it, and see if it can inspire a better performance.”

O’Brien said the players played a rejuvenated second half, scoring 16 points in both the 3rd and 4th quarters, including a stretch where they hit back to back three-pointers to take a one point lead, winning the emotional game 48-43.

The following Monday, GFSS was back on the road and back to winning by large margins, travelling to L.V Rogers (Nelson) for an away game in a tough gym.

Team captain Tieren Dolan led the charge starting on the defensive end, finishing with 17 points 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 8 steals, leading his team to a 65-33 victory. Coach O’Brien was happy with the early success, but is keeping his team looking ahead. “These were two good wins going into this weekend. We play L.V Rogers in the opening game of our tournament in Trail, and there is a good opportunity we could play Humphries again in the final. If we keep improving we should be 9-0 at this time next week.”

were able to integrate them successfully.

Our press worked well and our defence overall was pretty solid.”

On Monday the Wolves were on the road once again to face top-ranked L.V. Rogers Bombers.

The game was close early with the host Bombers up one at half 22-21; however, costly turnovers and missed shots doomed the Wolves in the second half as they fell 44-30. Makortoff led GFSS with 14 points, while Henne scored eight.

“We lost focus in the second half,”

said Lindsay. “After a strong first half we struggled to take care of the ball and make our easy shots.”

Lindsay said the team is showing signs of improvement but will need to work hard in practice. “We’re running a lot of new plays and there is a lot of confusion,” he said. “Hopefully we can get everyone understanding our systems in the next few weeks.”

The team plays J.L. Crowe in Trail on Wednesday before taking a week off for exams.

A wonderful father, grand dad, great grand dad and friend In our hearts your memory lingers Sweetly tender fond and true There is not a day dear dad That we do not think of you Your gentle face and patient smile With sadness we recall You had a kindly word for each And died beloved by all Forever loved Donna and Jack Chernoff and familes

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our beloved mom,

Marilyn Jensen (nee Smith)

After a courageous battle with cancer, she passed away peacefully from associated complications on January 12, 2016, surrounded by family.

Predeceased by her parents and her husband of 35 years, Donald Jensen, Marilyn is survived by her brother Robert Smith (Bubba), her three children; Glenn (Julia), Sherri (George), Wayne (Sandra), four grandchildren; Chantelle, Alexa, Graeme, Connor, and many nieces, nephews and friends that she considered family.

Marilyn was born and raised in Grand Forks and spent every summer of her life at Christina Lake. During her work career, Marilyn enjoyed engaging with the public and assisting in any way she could at the Phoenix Mine and at Greyhound, both Grand Forks and Trail. Whether at the lake, home in Trail, or at work, Marilyn was always baking for friends and family as an expression of her love. Over the years, Marilyn involved herself in everything her family was interested in: Trail Minor Hockey, Order of the Eastern Star, Job’s Daughters, Boy Scouts, and Highland Dancing.

Our mother and grandmother, not only made our house a home, but she made it a special haven for us all giving selflessly and generously. Marilyn was a friend and “Mom” to the many that walked through her door. She will be remembered fondly as a confidant who was never too busy to help you out of a jam or to talk; she would sympathize but advise you with clear directions for your next step. She was the strongest person any of us has ever met. Marilyn’s smile, kindness, and words of wisdom live on forever in our hearts. Our lives and family gatherings will never be the same. We were blessed to have shared many years and joyous occasions with her.

Always in our hearts, we love you Mom! Marilyn’s family would like to extend a thank you to all family, and friends for the help, love and support they have received during this difficult time. The family wishes to thank Drs. Houde and Scotland, as well as the wonderful nurses in the Emergency, ICU, and Chemo Therapy Unit.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, January 23, 2016 at 1:00 pm at the Trail United Church, 1300 Pine Avenue, Trail with Reverend Greg Powell officiating. Bill Clark of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements.

As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made in Marilyn’s name to the Oncology Unit of the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital Health Foundation at 1200 Hospital Bench, Trail, BC, V1R 4M1 or online at www.kbrhhealthfoundation.ca.

You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca.

Roy Berton Ronaghan Retired teacher and long-time Kootenay Boundary resident Roy Berton Ronaghan passed away suddenly on January 2, 2016 at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock, BC. He was 84 years old.

Roy was born in Islay, Alberta in 1931. His family moved to Creston after his Grade 8 year, thus beginning his long and well-traveled relationship with British Columbia. His teaching career took him to many communities across the province, including Kimberley, Prince Rupert, Quesnel, Dawson Creek and Kamloops. He also lived for a time in Richmond, Langley, and on Gambier Island.

Roy’s remaining years were spent in Grand Forks and Christina Lake, the latter being the site of his beloved meadow and acreage on West Lake Drive. Always active in his community, he was a regular attendee at meetings of Grand Forks City Council, served as a bwoard member with the Grand Forks and District Public Library, was a member of the Community Advisory Committee for the Christina Lake Management Plan, and wrote many opinion columns for the Grand Forks Gazette.

Roy did his very best to walk softly upon the earth and protect it for future generations.

He was also an active, thoughtful and well-informed citizen, contributing much of his time and energy to issues and causes that were important to him. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and colleagues.

Plans for a celebration of Roy’s life will be announced at a later date.

Condolences may be sent to the family by e-mail to remembering.rbr@gmail.com. For those who wish to personally commemorate Roy’s passing, please consider offering your time or making a donation to a community or environmental organization that is close to your heart.

Thank You

We, Val’s family, thank his doctor for his care of Valentine, and compassionate phone call that there was not much more he could do medically. I then was able to spend a week

by Val’s side with family and friends coming in to pray with us. Thank you, all who came, and thank you, nurses for being there.

We are thanking all of the staff for their loving care, helping every way they could.

Also we are thanking the manager and coordinator for being there for times before when we brought Val in by ambulance to get checked out. One of them was there to assist us back to Christina Lake Manor in Hardy View Lodge.

We acknowledge the Baker family Funeral Home for their kindness and heartfelt evening service, and assisting us in Val’s last journey on Earth to Rest in Peace in Gilpin Cemetery.

We thank Sara Kinakin for officiating both services with spiritual love, and we bless her from the heart. We thank all people who came from near and far to sing prayers and hymns for Valentine’s Earthly farewell.

We thank Gilpin community for their help at the cemetery, and their unconditional love from their souls; thank you.

Thank you, Home Care ladies; when Valentine was still at home. He looked forward to his walks with all of you to the mailbox, when he still had the keys to the outside world; thank you.

We, our family, have gratitude for the ambulance service, to all guys dedicated to save all life, and the doctors in Emergency. Thank you, and may God bless all of you!

Also, all gifts of soup, borscht, and baskets of Christmas were deeply appreciated, and all other help who offered and did the buying of fruit and cheese plates and arranged them at Omega dinner table, for after the burial service for lunch. Thank you so much for your love, all of you.

There is one thing more – a total stranger walked into the room on one of Val’s last days at Christina Lake Manor; her name was Louise. When I looked into her compassionate eyes, we needed no words. Thank you, Louise, and all giving hearts for your gifts of the heart and soul, for we all are part of the one Creator.

undiagnosed.

The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates that 30 per cent of all people living with diabetes are undiagnosed.

“There is no mistaking the seriousness of diabetes,” says Julie Knisley, Regional Director for the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) for British Columbia and Yukon.

“Diabetes is not only a personal crisis for individuals living with the disease and for their families, but for the province as well.”

The CDA’s recent report on diabetes, Driving Change, highlighted the action needed to address gaps in the care available to Canadians living with diabetes in the face of rapidly growing numbers.

“The Canadian Diabetes Association is working hard to support the health of Canadians through education, research, advocacy, improved treatments, and prevention by collaborating with all stakeholders in the diabetes community,” adds Knisley.

Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body either cannot produce insulin or cannot properly use the insulin it produces.

This leads to high levels of blood glucose (sugar), which over time can result in serious complications.

In prediabetes, a

person’s blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes.

Nearly half of those with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes.

For people with diabetes, keeping healthy requires a balance of nutrition and physical activity along with medication if prescribed and monitoring of blood sugar levels. Lifestyle is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes but family history, ethnic background, socioeconomic status, and environment also play a significant part.

About the CDA The CDA is the registered national charity that helps the more than 10 million Canadians with diabetes or prediabetes live healthy lives, and educates those at risk.

In communities across Canada, the CDA: • offers a wide array of support services to members of the public;· offers resources to health-care professionals on best practices to care for people with diabetes; • advocates to governments, schools, workplaces and others on behalf of people with diabetes; and, • funds research on better treatments and to find a cure.

Province, union commit to more nursing jobs SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

The province is working in partnership with the BC Nurses’ Union (BCNU) to create over 1,600 additional regular nursing positions to the B.C. health system, to improve care for patients and better support nurses on the frontlines of health care.

“Nurses are important, highly-skilled members of health care teams throughout British Columbia, and today’s announcement acknowledges their integral role in the health system,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “Over the past year, we have been working closely with nurses to make health care improvements that benefit

both patients and staff. We are confident this spirit of partnership will continue as we work together on a new collective agreement that meets the goals of nurses, health authorities and the province.”

The Ministry of Health, along with health authorities, the Health Employers Association of BC (HEABC) and BCNU have jointly committed to work together to create 1,643 regular nursing positions by March 31, 2016. “To nurses who are trying to provide safe patient care while working short in ERs and operating rooms and nurses who cope with

Blessing You

Valentine Parfiniuk We are blessing Valentine Parfiniuk, of Grand Forks, B.C., who passed away peacefully on December 31, 2015, with his family beside him, deep in prayer and singing Doukhobor soul hymns continuously during his last week on this earth.

He was a man of two worlds, being born in Tomahawk, Alberta, on August 25, 1930, in the Ukrainian settlement. He was born to a family of eight children, two brothers and six sisters, sharing the hard times of the 1930s with his mom and dad, who worked with much love to raise their beautiful family, working on the farm together.

In his early twenties, he came to British Columbia – the Okanagan and Kamloops area – to find jobs that were scarce at that time.

In 1957, he met and married Nellie Bawoolin, who at that time worked in Kamloops doing domestic jobs and bakery, because there were no jobs at home near the Perry Siding Doukhobor Community Village.

Not long after our marriage, Val hurt his back, and we decided to move from Kamloops to Osoyoos where I, his wife, knew the garden and orchard work well, and there was always enough money to get by. Val was hired on at the Monashee Packing Plant, and we lived close enough, within walking distance, that we could both work at the same plant. Val loved going fishing at a small lake between Osoyoos and Keremeos, and being in the natural habitat of the hills. We both thought the valley was so beautiful.

A year later, our first child, Marcia, was born to us in 1958, and Val was overwhelmed at being a father to such a miracle baby, walking at eight months, and so beautiful. Soon, another miracle happened; a son, Danny was born. And within a year, Steven arrived. Our family was so complete, and we were so happy with our family. All of our children were born in the Oliver hospital.

But life is a mover, challenge after challenge. I had a vision about my village in Perry Siding. After that, I was pulled like a magnet to go back home. I asked Val if we could move to the village in Perry Siding.

When we arrived, Val remodeled the cottage bought for a few dollars from the Rebalkin family. It was just the right size for our family, and we settled in. Val loved the village and the people in it, God bless him.

At that time, Sons of Freedom Doukhobor men were fasting unto death for unfair sentencing; they were on the fast for about 100 days already. In the news media, the press stated that the government was planning asbestos suits for the imprisoned men, and that no one could last longer than six months in them. All of Sons of Freedom Doukhobor communities were alarmed and in conflict with authorities.

We lived in the Village for only three months when a trek to our fasting brothers in Agassiz was announced. We, our family just babies, were going on the trek of a lifetime, and Val, from another walk of life, without question chose to help our Doukhobor brothers, and we trekked with others on this soul journey. I, his wife, will always honour him for that movement of the heart. When my mom, Mable Bawoolin, had a heart attack, I came back from the Agassiz trek before others in order to care for her, while Val followed shortly after.

And this is when we settled in Grand Forks. As time went by, Val did carpentry odd jobs here and there and later he worked on most of the dam sites as a foreman, and was well liked by people who worked along with him. Later in his life, when he broke his hip and health went downhill and dementia set in. He worked on canes to gift to family and other people, and often he told me and others of the vision he had of seeing Peter “Lordly” Verigin appear before him, patting Val on the head. He said he looked like the picture of Peter “Lordly” that we have hanging on the wall.

Valentine is predeceased by his mother, Anastasia, who passed on January 20, 1986; his father Fred, who passed on May 3, 1992; his sister, Olga, who passed on August 6, 1989; his sister, Jean, who passed on July 28, 2000; his nephew, Gary, who passed in 1990; his nephew, Dean, who passed on July 2, 2015, and his niece, Joyce.

He is survived by his wife, Anastasia Parfiniuk; brother Walter (Ruth) Parfiniuk; sisters, Annie Faminoff, Joyce (Don) Martin, and Vicky (Gary) Myck; his daughter, Marcia Shelestynski; sons Dan (Michelle) Parfiniuk and Steve (Hilary) Parfiniuk; grandchildren, Sonya (Yehudi) Schepkowski, Allie (Brad) Dixon, Lisa (Jason) Chiasson, Tanya (Danny) Shelestynski, Kayla (Jason) Lewis, Daniel Shelestynski, Nicolas Shelestynski, James Parfiniuk, Carbon Parfiniuk; great grandsons, Gage Dixon and Boden Lewis; sister-in-law, Maryann Holtz; son-in-law Darrin Shelestynski; daughter-in-law, Nina Parfiniuk, and many nieces and nephews.

May God bless you, Val, on your journey to God’s eternity. No one could fill your sacred place in my heart. My thoughts are, let God’s angels carry you on wings of God’s love.

Alex Verigin Alex Verigin was 73 years of age when he passed away on December 17, 2015 at 3:30 p.m. in Kelowna, B.C. He was born on June 19, 1942 in West Grand Forks, B.C. into the Doukhobor family of Alex and Polly Verigin (nee Dubosoff). He was the second of three children: Paul, himself, and Irene; all of whom predeceased Alex.

Context Alex was born in a time of great change. The Doukhobor community was in flux. The USCC had just been created. In 1938 the CCUB had been bankrupted and Doukhobor life was changing dramatically.

In the bigger world, WWII was well underway and Japanese families were being interned nearby in Greenwood.

The whole world was in chaos and it was out of this turmoil that “Al” Verigin emerged.

Who in the Doukhobor community would have guessed that Alex would go to school beyond grade 8 and go to University. He would play competitive sports well into his 50’s. He would have three marriages, three sons. He would own land and businesses. These were all “new things” to Doukhobours.

Al’s story is similar to many of his generation who were the first Doukhobors to fully integrate into mainstream Canada. There was tremendous opportunity for them and large growing pains.

Introduction Alex tried to be the best family man he could be. Given his nature, he had many successes; but equally, he had some failures.

He was an avid businessman who strived to find the perfect business – that being one where he could work enough to live well, and more importantly, allow him the time to enjoy life itself. Al knew how to enjoy life.

Sadly, he would spend the last years of his life with dementia and suffer severely at its hands. Al’s life reflected the turmoil of the world into which he was born. He had challenges, victories, sadness and love. I hope my words that follow will do justice to the man that I loved, my father Alex Verigin.

Generosity Alex was a generous man who loved to explore the wider world. He was a free spirit and a bit of a loner. His nickname was “Casper” after the cartoon character “Casper The Friendly Ghost”. This describes many aspects of him well.

He did a lot of good things. For example, Al supported Eva’s sister’s family in their to move to Canada as refugees from Poland. Eva’s sister and two children would live with them for over two years before her husband was allowed to emigrate to Canada.

He was very generous with my friends. He is remembered for taking us on many ski vacations to Sun Valley and Whistler. One Christmas at Whistler we had Dave Traynor, Dave Smith, Mike Ryan, and my brother Jeff for a week.

It was so much fun. Our Sun Valley ski trips were filled with extreme skiing, great dinners, and lots of laughter. So many people shared in those trips. I love hearing Dave Traynor and my cousin Larry reminisce about them.

Al was also very generous with Brian Simms and I when we were at McGill. His visits were well timed, welcomed and needed. We needed help. Often in the height of winter he would arrive and immediately try to fatten us up with huge dinners. This turned out be a great trade for Al as Brian eventually moved to the Bahamas and Al visited often.

Early Years Alex’s childhood years revolved around the USCC. He learned “poselmi”, sang, cut JJ’s lawn, and the lawn at the USCC like the others. I remember him talking about the Hoodikoff’s a lot. He loved those guys.

Education and Work Alex completed high school in Grand Forks and went to UBC where he studied Forestry. His Forestry education led to long career in lumbers sales. He worked as a lumber trader for over forty years. He started in the 1960s with Cooper-Widman in Vancouver. He became a part owner of his first business in the early 1970s. He then owned, partnered, and operated many forest products firms into the 2000s. He was a successful businessman, but this was not where his heart was.

Sports Al loved sports. He took them seriously and competed in baseball, basketball, hockey, ski racing, tennis, and golf. He was most skilled in fast-pitch, where he was a pitcher, and skiing, especially slalom.

Al loved sports. One of his favourite stories was that his mom gave him money to buy a new suit for a special function (his brother Paul’s wedding). He borrowed a suit and used the money to buy new skis. He thought that was “a stroke of genius”.

In high school he played many sports including baseball, basketball, and hockey. In University he took up skiing, joined the UBC Ski Team and became a nationally ranked ski racer. He was an amazing skier right into his 60’s. He trained hard in his 50’s and a top Masters ski racer in Canada. There was just one guy he couldn’t beat.

We thought that was funny and he was serious. I remember him explaining to me the new techniques required to win with the “new breakaway slalom” poles – the shin and arm pads. He talked forever about a session at Whistler with Swedish skiing legend Ingemar Stenmark – total “ski nerd” talk. Alex trained hard and was so good at slalom that he often came in the top 5 overall in races at Whistler. At 50 he was beating 20 year olds.

In his twenties and thirties Al was a fast-pitch pitcher. When he stopped playing fast-pitch, he took up tennis.

Al’s tennis skills never matched his skiing or fast-pitch levels, but his athleticism was shown most in tennis. He injured his right arm so badly that he couldn’t play. That didn’t stop him, he simply switched to playing left-handed.

It was crazy. His physical gifts were remarkable.

Family Alex’s family story is that he was a good man who lost his focus and got distracted a few times. I can’t say that his parents were very happy with this aspect of his life. The memories trigger a smile. It was a grand game. But they were devoted to him and helped us out a lot with our houses on 16th, then 14th, and finally on Cypress St. Al was with his first wife Anne Verigin (nee Polonicoff) early on. They had two sons, Iain and Jeffrey. Al was with Jan Broughton, his second wife, for almost a decade and for a few years Iain and Jeffrey lived with them.

Then Eva and Al were together for over fifteen years. Eva’s son Martin quickly learned to love skiing and photography. Martin’s cousins Anja and Andrew were more fond of lunch. They skied a lot in their preschool years and Andrew’s story of skiing is well remembered “When you go skiing, you put your skis together and go for lunch”.

Remaining Family Alex was predeceased by his immediate family, Polly, Alex, Paul, and Irene Verigin, and his son Jeffrey Verigin.

Alex is survived by his son Iain with his wife Sue and their children Mikaela, Katie, and Thomas. His first wife Anne Verigin (nee Polonicoff), his second wife Janet Broughton, and his third wife Eva Mahoney (nee Kaczynska) and her son Martin Verigin.
