Crime in Boundary drops 19 per cent CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
Crimes throughout Grand Forks and the Boundary area saw a 19-per-cent decrease from 2010 to 2011. According to the 2012 Report on Policing: Boundary Regional Detachment, the most notable decreases were residential break and entry, down by 56 per cent, and business break and entry down by 64 per cent. This is followed by thefts under $5,000, down by 24 per cent, and causing a disturbance down by 29 per cent. “Besides working on crime reduction initiatives, we’re trying to involve the public and community as much as we can,” Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison told The Gazette. “Two community programs we have are Citizens on Patrol and City Watch, where we have people who care about the community providing a great service to the rest of the community.” Harrison noted that factors that contributed to the decrease in crime have to do with the RCMP’s concentrated efforts made to target known prolific offenders, which led to successful prosecution. There was also the detention of several known offenders and the adoption of Intelligence which allowed RCMP to concentrate the resources on crime reduction to a level previously unattainable. In the City of Grand Forks, all types of crimes have decreased from assaults (from

ployed to Christina Lake in July and August last summer, with the assistance and funding granted from the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB). RDKB Area C Director Grace McGregor worked with Harrison to make the summer program plausible again. Last summer, over 158 files were generated for vessel checks and infractions. Since the program has started two years ago, there has been no fatalities. Some initiatives that are currently in operation and in progress include the Citizens on Patrol program in Grand Forks, Midway, Greenwood and Christina Lake, restorative justice, prolific offender program (which includes participation of external agencies and services), and small vessel regulation enforcement at Christina Lake. For 2012, the Boundary Regional Detachment aims to continue its efforts on border enforcement and intelligence, identifying and prosecuting methamphetamine and cocaine dealers and target known prolific offenders. The Boundary Regional Detachment has two offices in the region, one in Grand Forks and one in Midway. Grand Forks RCMP covers from the middle of the Paulson Bridge to just past Eholt summit, while the Midway RCMP covers from Eholt summit and Greenwood, to Beaverdell, just before Bridesville. Total estimated population in the service area was 12,165 in 2011, though there are usually larger numbers during summer months in the Christina Lake area.

NEWS ❚ CHARITY
Whispers of Hope facing closure
Putting on the pounds

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
Whispers of Hope has asked the city for funding to help keep its doors open. Lisa Fichtenberg, secretarytreasurer of Whispers, stated the organization has asked the city for $10,000. “We’ve never asked the city for help before and we at the board feel very strongly that it’s time for the city to step up and help support vital charities that run in Grand Forks,” she said. “(The $10,000) represents 1/5 of our operating costs.” Fichtenberg pointed out that most of the funding comes from grants, fundraising and the Whispers of Hope thrift store. Coun. Michael Wirischagin stated during a city council meeting, “I just want to commend you and everyone at Whispers and their work to the community. I think highly that it’s the responsibility of the city to provide for our citizens, especially those in need.” Whispers of Hope’s mandate
is to supply one hot meal daily for anyone who drops into the store. “I don’t want to give the impression that we’re closing because we hope it doesn’t happen, but it may have to close this coming winter if we can’t figure out how to get more funds,” she explained. “Costs of rent, utility and general operations have increased. If funding doesn’t appear through the city or other means, then we’re facing possible closure in November.” During wintertime, Whispers provides winter coats and blankets. “It’s for anybody who wants to come in to eat,” she added. “We also run a thrift store that people can donate to. It helps support the kitchen; as well, it provides for clothing for people who need clothing.” Mike Robb, project manager and chair for Whispers of Hope, said that he hopes Whispers doesn’t close and is thankful for the support of the community. Whispers of Hope is open six days a week from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and is closed on Sunday.
❚ WILDLIFE
Piche sentencing delayed again CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
After being charged for feeding dangerous wildlife, Allen Piche’s sentencing has been delayed until May 9. The decision was delayed because Judge Ronald Fabbro is still deliberating the case. Piche originally pleaded guilty in 2011 to feeding over 20 black bears on his property at Christina Lake in 2010. He was charged with feeding dangerous wildlife under the Wildlife Act when human-fed habitu-
ated bears were discovered on his property during an RCMP investigation related to a marijuana grow operation. Another investigation conducted last summer found that Piche was still feeding bears and he was charged again with the same offences. He also pleaded guilty on the second charge. Under the Wildlife Act, Piche, also known as the “Bear Dude,” could face a maximum penalty of $100,000 in fines and a year in jail. With the second offense, the penalties could be doubled.
The local Curves for Women collected 1,345 pounds of food for the Boundary Community Food Bank in the month of March. The collection is ongoing and the sign up fee is waived for new members when they bring in food donations, while current members are asked to bring in donations when they can.

❚ TEACHERS’ STRIKE
BDTA reacts to appointment of Jago as mediator CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
The BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) has sent an application to the Labour Relations Board to remove Dr. Charles Jago as mediator in the current labour dispute. Education Minister George Abbott appointed Jago mediator on March 28. Norm Sabourin, president of the Boundary District Teacher’s Association, stated that the unfortunate problem with this appointment is that Jago has no labour experience. “He has no Kindergarten to 12 background and is primarily a post-secondary educator,” explained Sabourin. “He has no mediation experience or background, no legal background or experience in arbitration, limited experience with labour relations and only on the employer side.” In a press release from the BCTF, it noted, “The BCTF is concerned about a 2006 report on public education in B.C., done by Dr. Jago, on commission to former Premier Gordon Campbell’s Progress Board.” The release stated the report foreshadowed the possible outcome on the bargaining table. “I can speak on behalf of my members and say we’re not very happy,” said Sabourin. A Ministry of Education press release stated, “As mediator, Jago will be guided by the best interests of students and the pursuit of high-quality learning as he assists the parties in negotiations . . . Jago will have the resources he needs to fulfil his mandate, including the ability to engage support staff and independent advisors.”
B.C. teachers aren’t happy with the appointment of Dr. Charles Jago as mediator in their labour dispute with the province.
CASSANDRA CHIN PHOTO
The mediation period will run until the end of June. At that time, if there is still no agreement on both sides, Jago has the ability to report with non-binding recommendations. Teachers are currently contemplating a province-wide walkout, which would violate Bill 22. The BCTF is seeking support from its members for a possible strike during a vote on April 17 and 18. “I’m not saying we should go after them with pitchforks, but we have to do something,” stated Sabourin.

A DIVISION OF BLACK PRESS – PRINTED EVERY WEDNESDAY. Mailing address: Box 700, Grand Forks, B.C. V0H 1H0 Street address: 7255 Riverside Drive, Grand Forks
❚ Our View
Liberals continue to hamper BCTF While the B.C. Liberals haven’t ever come right out and said they want to break the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF), their actions seem to suggest they do. Previously, Gordon Campbell, former premier, stripped teachers’ rights for classroom composition amongst other things, and more recently, the B.C. Liberals passed Bill 22 – 2012: Education Improvement Act, which imposes a “cooling-off” period which ends this Aug. 31. Stiff penalties will be imposed if there is job action taken during the cooling-off period – $475 per day for individuals and $1.3 million a day for the BCTF. The provincial government named a mediator, Dr. Charles Jago in late-March, and once again, the advantage seems to be with the government, as he wasn’t appointed by the Labour Relations Board (LRB). Education Minister George Abbott reportedly didn’t inform the teachers of the appointment either. According to the BCTF, Dr. Jago did a report back in 2006 on commission to Campbell’s progress board and the teachers say that the “report’s findings clearly foreshadow positions taken by the BC Public School Employers’ Association at the bargaining table and also reflect the policy directions laid out in Bill 22.” The BCTF contends that Deputy Education Minister James Gorman asked Jago to act as mediator back in February and also that Jago told BCTF members in February that he had looked at and helped “wordsmith” a draft of Bill 22, which passed in March. Abbott denies this and says that if the BCTF believes this, it is wrong. The BCTF is concerned and in fact, BCTF President Susan Lambert wrote a letter to Jago asking him to step down but Jago responded saying he would not. Regardless if Jago actually had a hand in the creation of Bill 22, his being named mediator still has the teachers at a disadvantage as he was selected by the Liberals and was not independently appointed – as opposed to someone who would not be tied to either side. That would ensure that fair bargaining could take place and that both sides could have their say. The government shouldn’t get everything it wants and neither should the B.C. teachers; there have to be concessions made on both sides. In the absence of independent mediation, that might not happen.

2012 federal budget mostly bad This year’s federal budget is in and I have to say I’m a bit baffled as to what direction our dear Conservative federal government is going. Full disclosure, I have many, many, many issues with our “beloved” Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his government. Needless to say, much of this year’s budget has added fuel to the fire. Though the new budget has decided to not include any changes to Old Age Security, which would see benefits kick in at 67 years old instead of 65, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty noted that changes would come (by April 2023). Apparently, this was done to make it “sustainable” for future generations. OK, sure, but what about the youth of today? Katimavik, a Canadian organization founded in 1977 to help

said youth engage and volunteer in various parts of Canada, is also under the axe. I won’t get into the politics (it was created by the Trudeau-era Liberals), or the financial arguments on why it was cut, because what else is there to say when another decades-old organization is cut? Speaking of old, the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE) is also up on the chopping block. The NRTEE was a forum created in the late 1980s to seek policy advice from experts and businesses on the environment. Supposedly with the advent of
technology and the Internet, this organization is now obsolete. Environment Canada will notice a six-per-cent cut, because really, according to Harper there’s no such thing as global warming. Not only will Canadians feel the pinch on earth, but the Canadian Space Agency may also be seeing a reduction in funding. Bye science! Finally, spending $25 billion on F-35 fighter jets, $10 billion more than previously proposed. Really? There are more funding cuts, some which are necessary, some not so much. On a positive note, there are investments aimed at training and job opportunities, as well as support for entrepreneurs and innovators. It’s not all bad, but the budget certainly isn’t good. Oh, and goodbye penny, my copper friend.

LETTERS ❚ FOOD
Value of food co-ops Editor: Re: Co-ops vs. corporate (letter, March 28 issue of The Gazette Gazette)) Lindsay Howes questions the emergence of communityowned food co-operatives in our communities and uses the example of Nelson’s Kootenay Co-op. She makes some assumptions that should be addressed. She questions; “Is Grand Forks willing to take a step back from progress of the modern world and get rid of all the big grocery stores?” I don’t see the emergence of food co-ops equaling the end of chain grocers. Instead, co-ops offer a proven alternative. I also believe that the “progress” Howes refers to within the food system is actually being driven by innovative grocery stores like food co-ops. Walk into any major grocery store, and you’ll find the organic sections growing in size. Chains like Safeway and Save-On are also making considerable efforts now to actively market their products as local. Food co-ops have been practicing this philosophy for decades. A co-op owned by its shoppers also commits to a level of accountability and responsibility that chain grocers will never match. Food co-ops are acting in the best interest of the communities in which they operate and not in the best interest of shareholders or distant head offices. While chain grocers do a great job of extracting wealth out of a community, food coops instead re-circulate and create wealth in communities by supporting local food producers. Howes assumes that co-ops are synonymous with “local” (“Are people willing to go without foods like oranges from California or bananas from Ecuador?”). Not true. Co-ops are ultimately driven by their member-owners (shoppers). If oranges and bananas are desired, then you’ll find them on the shelves of a co-op. The Kootenay Co-op does indeed carry imported produce and other foods and strives to carry local whenever possible. It seems to me like the most important direction for any community in our region is to devote significantly more attention to harnessing our food expenditures and recognizing their underutilized potential for stimulating local economies, jobs, culture and community. Food co-ops can play a foun-
dational role in this shift. Jon Steinman, Deconstructing Dinner, Nelson
*** Editor Re: Co-ops vs. corporate (letter, March 28 issue of The Gazette Gazette)) It was of little surprise to me this letter was from an Albertan. Alberta is the centre of radical conservatism and corporate greed. The mega oil companies are raking in billions of dollars with little regard for the environment or future generations with the blessing of the Conservative governments, both federally and provincially. Co-operative enterprises have been building local economies and improving lives and livelihoods for hundreds of years. This, the International Year of Co-operatives, honours the value of working together to meet our economic, social and cultural needs.. Whether retail, agricultural or financial, co-ops build communities, empower people and strengthen local economies. Co-ops put people before profits, invest in our community, support local farming and contribute towards a strong and steady economy. There will always be a place for mega super stores with profits flowing out of the valley but I argue that buying locally and keeping profits in Grand Forks is a wiser choice. David Janzen, Grand Forks
❚ TRAILS
Paving a trail Editor: After hearing responses regarding the proposed paving of the Trans Canada Trail between Grand Forks and Christina Lake, I feel compelled to respond. The Grand Forks Community Trails Society and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary partnered in this project. While there have been a large number of letters in support of this development, there have been some concerns expressed around the use of asphalt, as well as horseback riding on the trail. With the success of the newly-paved trails in Grand Forks, as well as the trail linking Kimberley and Cranbrook, it seemed logical to apply for the Community Recreation Program funds announced in October 2011 by Premier Clark. Recently, we learned our application was unsuccessful, so we will start again, looking for funds and grants.
❚ OPINION We have searched extensively for alternatives to the proposed asphalt surfacing. We have queried the U.S. National Parks Service, suppliers and trail development organizations in the U.S., England and Europe. We have contacted municipal parks planning in Alberta and B.C. looking for suitable alternatives to asphalt, without success. In our conversation with Rhys Williams, an engineer with Vancouver Parks planning, he stated “We consider three factors in our decisionmaking process: social, environmental and economic. “After all considerations are evaluated, asphalt paving is still the best choice for trails as it has the lowest carbon footprint.” The main users are cyclists, hikers, skateboarders, rollerbladers and persons using mobility devices. This will not stop horseback riders, who will have the option of using or riding alongside of the trail as they do roadways, as the right-of-way is at least 20 metres (66 feet) wide. Unauthorized motorized users are not welcomed, as the trail runs through the Gilpin Grasslands Park – provincial park trails are designated for non-motorized use only. This project is back in the planning stages, with completion still planned for December 2015. If you have questions, please contact me directly at g.longden@gmail.com or you can attend trail society meetings – please consult our website (www.gftrails.ca) for meetings times.

❚ PESTICIDES
Double check your facts Editor: Re: Cancer society using fear tactics (letter, March 21 issue of The Gazette Gazette)) In response to Lorne Hepworth’s letter decrying the Canadian Cancer Society for fear mongering about the use of lawn pesticides: You speak of “scientifically credible” studies. You speak of “rigorous reviews.” You speak of “greater breadth of scrutiny.” You speak of “expert scientists.” Unfortunately, there are many otherwise proven facts and it is extremely wise to always double check one’s facts. Thank you, however, for representing your point of view. Angelica Herlihy, Grand Forks
Prime Minister Harper’s religious agenda Information on changes to the federal Fisheries Act, revisions to the federal environmental assessment process and attacks by Minister of Natural Resources Joe Oliver in January have raised the ire of people ROY RONAGHAN right across the country and left them wondering what Stephen Harper and the Conservative government will be doing next. They expect the worst. Some have said that the religious beliefs of the prime minister and those closest to him may have a significant influence on government policies. Andrew Nikiforuk, author and long-time Albertan, provides us with a plausible answer in a recent article in The Tyee online newspaper, under the headline Understanding Harper’s Evangelical Mission. Nikiforuk says, “Signs mount that Canada’s government is beholden to a religious agenda averse to science and rational debate.” Evidence surfaces almost daily that shows the federal government is being guided by those who favour Biblical fundamentalism or “evangelical religious skepticism.” Canada is becoming much like the United States and the decisions made by the government since the election of 2011 provide some proof. Canada pulled out of the Kyoto agreement without a plan to combat carbon pollution. Oliver, wrote an open letter in which he branded local environmentalists and First Nations people as radicals that seek to block opportunities to diversify trade. Greenpeace was called a “multi-issue extremist group.” He wrote the letter on the eve of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline hearings. The Navigable Waters Protection Act has been gutted and proposals are forthcoming for dismantling the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and the Fisheries Act. Federal scientists have been muzzled and cannot talk about their research without getting permission from the authorities for which they work. Nikiforuk has taken a close look at the government’s actions and its attacks on anyone who dares to question its motives and he has drawn the conclusion that its position grows out of Stephen Harper’s evangelical beliefs. He writes: “Unknown to most Canadians, the prime minister belongs to the Christian and Missionary Alliance, an evangelical Protestant church with two million members. Alberta, a petro state, is one of its great strongholds on the continent. The church believes that the free market is divinely inspired and that non-believers are ‘lost.’” Harper has never disclosed the fact that he openly sympathizes with, and likely endorses, what it known as “evangelical climate skepticism” and he could be taking his advice from the Cornwall Alliance, a coalition of scholars, economists and evangelicals who are not Canadians. Nikiforuk says, “The Alliance, questions mainstream science, doubts climate change, views environmentalism as a “native evil,” champions fossil fuels and support libertarian economics.” The alliance is in deep denial on matters related to climate change. Carbon dioxide is a not a pollutant; there is no convincing evidence that the human contribution to greenhouse gases is causing global warming; environmental regulation is an impediment to God’s will and environmental groups are one of the greatest threats to society and the church today. Dr. David Gushee, a distinguished professor of Christian Ethics at Mercer University and one of the drafters of the Evangelical Climate Initiative, says he disagrees with just about everything the alliance says. Gushee’s summary of the purpose of the new evangelical Republicanism is: “God is sovereign over creation and therefore humans can do no permanent damage . . . God established government for limited purposes and government should not intervene much in the workings of a free market economy . . . The media is overplaying climate change worries . . . The environmental movement is secular/pagan and has always been a threat to American liberties . . .” When dealing with a prime minister who is guided by radical evangelical beliefs on environmental matters, the work of preventing desecration is a huge challenge. He is unlike any other prime minister except perhaps Mackenzie King, Canada’s longest serving prime minister, who also believed in spiritualism. – Roy Ronaghan is columnist for the Grand Forks Gazette.

Sleep-deprived driver crashes through guard rail
Reduction of gas emissions in the works for city CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
A guard rail on Central Avenue still needs to be repaired after a Creston driver crashed through it on April 5.

KARL YU Gazette Editor
A driver from Creston crashed through the railing near the Video Express and Subway in Grand Forks on Thursday, April 5. According to Grand Forks RCMP Const. Menno Van Agteren, a 2005 Nissan X-Trail was headed down Central Avenue around 10:45 a.m. when the accident occurred. “There was a west-bound car, a Nissan X-Trail, and the driver seemed to suffer some kind of medical problem; he blacked out basically,” explained Van Agteren. “He veered off the road towards the parking lot of the Video Express, went in between a tree and a light pole, sheered off the guard rail there and hit a parked car, a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire.” Van Agteren said that while the driver of the X-Trail was taken to hospital, he didn’t suffer any injuries and was released. “He told me that he just suffering from sleep deprivation so we might put a warning that people shouldn’t drive if they’re tired. Other than that he seems to be good,” he said. There was an estimated $3,000 worth of damage to each vehicle and Van Agteren said that the X-Trail driver told him that he only had about 20 minutes of sleep the night before – he was said to be heading to Vancouver.
Developed out of the city council, the Climate Leadership Committee has been working on developing ways to reduce green house gas emissions in Grand Forks. Organized by Carbon Neutral Kootenays, the City of Grand Forks has an action plan for reducing carbon gas emissions and becoming a greener city. Coun. Gary Smith has been able to meet and discuss with other communities who are also aiming to reduce their carbon emissions. “It was an opportunity to sit around and listen to what other people in other communities are doing to work towards their own goals,” he said. “We can share ideas and see how it could apply in our own communities, or how our ideas may apply to somebody else’s community.” Smith has been to Castlegar, Rossland, Silverton and several other communities in the West Kootenays. At the moment, he pointed out that many cities are focusing on water and waste management. “There are similarities and people are talking about water metering and water treatment and just how to make those systems more effective and efficient,” Smith said. Grand Forks is a solar city, he stated. “I think working in that direction and enhanc-

ing our solar city status by working on projects that are geared towards reducing our dependence on other sources of energy by putting it on solar is a great way to go,” he explained. The Grand Forks Recreation Centre currently has solar panels on the roof that heats the pool, while city staff are currently looking into solar heating for the city park washrooms. “I think as opportunities arise, you’ll see more projects come out of it,” Smith concluded. “Certainly the city is trying to green itself up to set an example for the community. Think green!”

Interesting times certainly have a way of catching our attention, with all kinds of upheavals, breakthroughs and an entire smorgasbord of religious and not so religious credos bandied about. The North African uprisings, the Japanese tsunami, the Israel-Iran sabre rattling, the U.S. and now pending European financial collapse, IBM storing one bit of information onto only 12 atoms, the on-going collapse of Earth systems . . . the list does go on does it not? Tune in to any devout Christian and you soon are looking to the skies for the chariots of fire. Listen to earthy or pagan radio waves and subliminal images the size of baseball diamonds, known as crop circles, are imprinting your DNA with the information required to access another dimension of this world. We must remember that just 500 years ago, most of our western ancestors believed the universe revolved around the Earth. Not to say many at the time also believed the Earth to be flat, just as we are chuckling at our ancestors’ ignorance, quantum physics come around and now our neat little Newtonian worldview is but one big fat illusion. The perpetual growth of economies and fi-
nances related to any other exploitative balloon we have floated to make us believe we are the beall and end-all of higher civilizations appears to be collapsing with this Newtonian worldview. After all these years, the Mayans are back in the news with their calendar, which comes to an end Wednesday, Dec. 21. Many have heard of this but few quite understand the astronomical ramifications of it. The topic is absolutely spellbinding as are the discussions around it if one has the least grasp of quantum physics. Michael O’Connor, a researcher and astrologer from Nelson, will be making a presentation on the topic at Studio B on Thursday, April 12 at 7 p.m. This will be his fourth sharing in Grand Forks of slides and views on this topic in the last two years. After attending all previous discussions with him, I can guarantee interests and curiosities will be stimulated for all. As a presenter, he is open-minded, clear and balanced. He presents the topic in light of other endof-game predictions as well as the more hopeful leap in consciousness visions expressed presently on the planet. Any questions or additional information may be obtained by calling Netti at 250-443-3278.

Heriot officially fire chief KARL YU Gazette Editor
Dale Heriot has officially taken over for the retired Blair Macgregor as fire chief of Grand Forks Fire Rescue. Macgregor retired on March 21. Heriot, a 14-year veteran of the department, has worked his way up the ladder, starting off as a volunteer firefighter for nine years. “An opening came up within the fire department for a training officer and of course it was still volunteer, so I expressed an interest as being a training officer with the department,” Heriot reminisced. “As I worked into that, I got a lot more into how the department works and runs and that kind of thing and at that point, I thought I wouldn’t mind working my way up if I ever had the opportunity to become fire chief.” Having worked with Macgregor for close to five years, there were some things that he was able to pick up from the former chief with patience and leadership being a few of the traits. “Blair was one that was always one step ahead and especially during calls and things like that,” said Heriot. “The other thing I’ve learned is your most valuable assets, that is your volunteers, and you need to hold that close to you

at all times.” Heriot was on hand for the recent Grand Forks and Winnipeg hotel fires and he considers that incident, along with the fires at the Longhorn Hotel (now Clyde’s Pub) in 2000 and the apartment complex near City Park around 2001 as some of the worst situations he has been involved in. “I guess the apartment over by City Park (was the worst) and that was mostly because there was quite a bit of interior attack,” he said. “Eventually, we had to go defensive and exterior. That one will get your adrenaline going.” Heriot has learned a lot in his 14 years with the fire department and with
all the blazes, he has learned some key lessons. “The one common thing to learn from every single fire is how valuable our training is. To have constant training and varied training scenarios, where whatever’s thrown at you, you can set your game plan and conquer it,” said Heriot. While it is merely coincidence, there seems to be a major fire when a new chief comes on and unfortunately for Heriot, that was the case with the hotel fires. “The Grand Forks Hotel fire was my first big event as an incident commander,” explained Heriot. “The interesting thing about the Grand Forks Hotel was the fact that we had the Winnipeg Hotel call at the same time. I’ve never been in a situation where we’ve had to split our crews and our equipment coming in. Basically in a split second, you had to figure out which piece of equipment you needed for which address and split them up that way.” Heriot gave credit to all the firefighters that assisted. “I can’t really think of anything that went wrong or we could have done any better. (The firefighting) went like clockwork, I was impressed with the guys on that one.” he said.

Grand Forks’ Selena Demenoff is one of 10 recipients of the inaugural 3M National Student Fellowship. “The application examines a multitude of elements,” she explained. “It was a 15-page essay style in which adjudicators examine grades, your contributions to community service, as well as how well you reciprocate learning and education to community service and vice versa.” Demenoff found out about the award through her school, the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) when two professors nominated her application and stated the application was open to any undergraduate not in their final year. “Part of the award is to be a part of the Society for Teaching and Learning Higher Education (STLHE) conference,” Demenoff added. “The

COMMUNITY ❚ SPEAKERS’ CORNER
Round 2 of discussions on pet peeves at the library NIGEL JAMES Submitted
The first Speakers’ Corner on March 3 produced spirited discussion from the participants. As a first try, it went
fairly well but the world was not completely reorganized. We did find out what was wrong and how to put it right – in our most humble opinions. Some contentious points
were made including: • the lack of suitable medical support for young ladies, • cyclists seeming to believe it is reasonable to ride absolutely anywhere they wish,
• breaking laws and endangering others, • 99 per cent of profits from sales of food in the Grand Forks area leaves the Sunshine Valley, • and the public school teachers.
A second round is planned for 11 a.m. this Saturday, April 14 at the Grand Forks and District Public Library. Why not join in? Air your pet peeves, then defend them against
those who do not see things your way. You just know they are wrong – persuade them to see your point of view. For more information, contact James at jamesng@telus.net.

Mobile slaughter unit expected to arrive in Grand Forks on Oct. 15
Has new equipment
Meat producers are contemplating forming a Boundary Meat Producers Society to focus on meat and profits. PATRICIA BEVILACQUA Submitted
Meat producers from around the Boundary region met on March 31 to explore next steps for the regions producers, as the mobile slaughter unit (MSU) is moving forward. A down payment was made and the unit is expected to arrive in Grand Forks on Monday, Oct. 15. This news made operation of a multi-species MSU in the Boundary a reality. The entire cost of the MSU is paid for through grants received from Western Economic Diversification Canada, Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust, Provincial Meat Transition Program, Phoenix Foundation and Community Futures. The 30 farmers and interested folks who attended this meeting agreed on the necessity of infrastructure to be in place for farmers to be profitable. The infrastructure includes a cut- and-wrap facility, winter docking station, marketing and sales outlet, the development of value-added products like pet food and jerky and a strong marketing plan. With such infrastructure, farmers should get more money from the animals they slaughter. With the MSU, the inspected meat products can be marketed through restaurants and retail out-
lets, both locally and out of the region. This could create a lot of opportunities for our region’s meat producers. This should lead to building new chicken coops, barns and other infrastructure on farms. It could eventually lead to growing the feed they will need locally as well. Some possible funding opportunities like grants and loans were presented to the group. There was a lot of discussion around docking stations and the workings of the MSU. Some concerns were raised about the ability of local farmers to provide a consistent year -round supply of meat products. In order to develop a strong marketing plan, accurate production accounting has to be established and year-round production of meat needs to be determined. Discussion ensued about forming a Boundary Meat Producers Society to concentrate solely on meat production and increasing profits and opportunities for meat producers. The meat producers left this meeting optimistic about the future of meat production in the Boundary. The next meeting for the 15 farmers who signed up to move the society forward will be before the end of April. For more information contact Doug Zorn at 250-442-3359.

White Star Lady is one-woman musical about the life and adventures of Ms. Violet Jessop. A stewardess aboard ocean liners for 42 years, her experiences at sea are unequalled by anyone in her position. The majority of her years were spent working for the White Star Line and she was aboard all three of the ill-fated sister ships: RMS Olympic, RMS Titanic and HMHS Britannic. Making her truly the “unsinkable Violet Jessop.” White Star Lady makes its Grand Forks debut at Gallery 2 on Friday, April 20. The show begins at 8 p.m. 2012 will mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of Titanic, join us for this glimpse of what life was like for both women and crew to be working aboard shipping lines at the turn of the century. White Star Lady was born out of performer Jane Gaudet’s portrayal of Violet Jessop for the Royal British Columbia Museum’s Titanic Artifact Exhibit. White Star Lady is written by Mark Pollard and Jane Gaudet, with music by Nadine Tremblay, and directed by RJ Peters.

❚ MARTIN’S MOVIE PICKS
Movie “tailor-made” for spy flick lovers LIZ MARTIN Submitted
Hello movie lovers of Grand Forks. This time, I write a review of a current release in which protagonist Gary Oldman was nominated for the 2012 Oscar for Best Actor. The movie in question is Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy, taken from the novel of the same name, written by John le Carre. There is a stellar cast in this film: Colin Firth, John Hurt, Mark Strong to name but a few. It is a tale of espionage and cloak-and-dagger activities that occur, while the British Secret Service tries to uncover a Soviet double agent they believe is in their midst. Oldman, an actor I have always admired, plays the part of George Smiley, a retired agent who is called back into duty to help look for this spy. There are many flashbacks to happier times, depicting a little dalliance and much partying, all important to the plot. Personally, I found this film quite confusing at times.

Happy py
SPECIAL MEETING
One has to listen very carefully to all dialogue and there is much of that. The opening takes place in Hungary and sets the scene for the whole movie – watch it carefully and then the rest will make sense. After this incident in Hungary, John Hurt who is retired at this time, is called back to work to help find the mole so there is much roundtable discussion. Suspicion is rampant among the group and tension mounts. It is a movie worth watching, if one likes spy stories and there are many fine actors to watch but do pay close attention to every word or like me, you may find it a trifle confusing. This is the second time this book has hit the screen, with the late-Sir Alec Guinness playing the part of George Smiley in a 1979 version that was broadcast on TV on the BBC. Along with Oldman, the 2011 version was nominated for Oscars for Best Original Score and Best Adapted Screenplay. – Liz Martin is a movie reviewer for The Gazette and a movie lover, cello player and happy retiree.

SPORTS Minor hockey hoping to establish House First strategy RON VAUTOUR Submitted
The Grand Forks Minor Hockey Association’s (GFMHA) 2011/12 hockey season has come to a close. Children from five to 17 years of age were active in divisions that ranged from Junior Novice (five or six years old) to Midget (15 to 17 years old). Unfortunately, our membership declined to a five-year low of 98 kids this season. This is not unique to Grand Forks, as many hockey associations are experiencing declining membership, especially in smaller communities. One of the reasons for this is that we’ve had divisions that didn’t offer House League opportunities for the last couple of years. This has left some kids without a place to play. Once these kids leave, many don’t come back and the impact on membership is long lasting for future divisions. Another reason for the declining membership is that it’s expensive. Gear, annual fees, fuel and travel make it a struggle for some families. There are programs in place that provide financial assistance and we can direct interested parties to these programs. For the players that have left over the last few years, GFMHA wants to bring you back. For the families considering hockey as a pastime, we welcome new members and we will do our best to help you get started.
The Grand Forks Minor Hockey Association wrapped up this season, but saw a decrease in the number of children participating with only 98 registered for the year.
KARL YU PHOTO
At our annual general meeting (AGM) at 7 p.m. on April 24 at the Grand Forks Arena viewing room, we will be discussing the concept of a House First strategy. We are seeking input and guidance from members on this topic. If we were a House First association, GFMHA would only pursue rep (competitive) hockey after House (recreational) hockey has been established.
This would ensure that kids that just want to play hockey for fun have a place to play in Grand Forks. If the numbers and the interest level support rep programs as well, this would be pursued. If you want to be part of our hockey community, all are welcome to join us at our AGM. However, please note that only GFMHA members can vote in the elections. Thanks for your consideration.

Dergousoff to compete in challenge cup
Philippe The Butcher
CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
As one of the youngest male competitors at last week’s Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Swimming Trials in Montreal, 15-year-old Christina Lake resident James Dergousoff held his own. “What an experience,” stated Theresa Dergousoff, James’ mother who was in attendance. “We watched some real highs and lows as some athletes qualified for the Olympics fulfilling their dreams and other hopefuls did not, shattering theirs.” During the trials, Dergousoff focused on the 200-metre breaststroke, 100-metre breast stroke, 400 IM (individual medley) and 200 IM, but he favours the 200-metre breast. For the 100-metre breast, he placed 39th out of 75 with a time of 1:06.12, and placed 21st out of 74 swimmers in the 200-metre breast with a time of 2:21.24. Dergousoff missed the “B” finals by 1/10th of a second. In the 200 IM, Dergousoff placed 35

out of 116 swimmers with a time of 2:09. 93, and in the 400 IM he place 25 out of 69 swimmers with a time of 4:37.64. As a result of his overall Olympic trials showing, Dergousoff will be participating in two Team Canada teams. Dergousoff will be heading to Vancouver in May to compete for the Canada Cup Prospects Team, and from Aug. 2 to 4, where he will be participating in
the North American Challenge Cup in Edmonton, Alta. The Cup is a tri-country meet between Canada, USA and Mexico. “(There will be) a lot more competitions for James coming up this spring/ summer,” stated Theresa. “After Aug. 4, it will be some much-needed down-time back home in Christina Lake where he can kick back and relax.”
❚ REC REPORT
Be a man or woman in motion for Hansen anniversary KIM JOHNSON Grand Forks Recreation
Twenty-five years ago Rick Hansen had a dream – to make the world more accessible and inclusive and to find a cure for spinal cord injury (SCI). Rick’s dream took shape in the form of the Man in Motion World tour. For 26 months he and his team wheeled over 40,000 kilometres, through 34 countries, raising awareness of the potential for people with disabilities. Through the foundation that bears his name, more than $250 million has been raised to accelerate progress towards a cure for SCI and a more accessible and inclusive world.
This year marks the 25th Anniversary of the Man in Motion World tour. To commemorate this, there are international and national events and activities taking place. The Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay is re-tracing the Canadian segment of the original Man in Motion tour. The anniversary tour started in Newfoundland and has now reached British Columbia. The nine-month relay covers 12,000 km and visits over 600 communities from coast to coast. On Thursday, April 26, the Man in Motion Anniversary Relay Team will be arriving in Christina Lake and Grand Forks. We encourage residents of both communities to
come out and cheer on your local medal bearer participants, who will be carrying the 25th Anniversary Man in Motion Medal through your town. Please go online to rickhansenrelay.com and view the routes the bearers will be taking and to learn more about the Man in Motion 25th Anniversary Tour. *** Back by popular demand, Sheldon Boyd of Serpent Aquatics will be at the aquatic centre offering adult scuba on Sunday, April 15 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Serpent Aquatics provides all the equipment necessary for your underwater experience.

❚ ALZHEIMER’S
Support group offers Grand Forks residents a place of hope ALZHEIMER SOCIETY OF B.C. Submitted
A place to find a sense of hope. That, in a nutshell, is what Grand Forks residents can find by attending the free information and support groups offered by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. “It’s a place to exchange information, support and find friendship with others whose lives are affected by dementia,” says Linda Hoskin, the society’s local support and education co-ordinator. Participants learn about dementia, its progression and the impact it may have on individuals and families. They also learn practical coping strategies, encouraging caregivers to actively engage in protecting and maintaining their physical
and emotional health. The meetings offer the chance to regain some control in the face of a disease that cannot be controlled. For more information on the meeting times and locations, contact the Regional Alzheimer Resource Centre at 250-3526788, Frani at 250-442-5320 or Kris at 250-443-3226. You can also email lhoskin@alzheimerbc.org. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is the only province-wide non-profit organization dedicated to helping people concerned with or facing dementia to have the confidence and skills to maintain a good quality of life. The society exists to alleviate the personal and social consequences of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, to promote public awareness and to search for the causes and the cures.

❚ PARKINSON’S
April is Parkinson’s Awareness month PSBC Submitted
This April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month and the Parkinson Society British Columbia (PSBC) wants to raise awareness of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and its devastating effects on individuals and their families. The society also wants to encourage the 11,000 British Columbians living with Parkinson’s to join the Parkinson’s Exercise Revolution. While we all know that exercise can improve our cardiovascular fitness, prevent heart attack and stroke, and increase weight loss, many of us do not exercise often. However, getting regular exercise carries deeper implications for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Dr. Martin MacKeown, neurologist and researcher at the Pacific Parkinson’s Research Centre, UBC, said, “Parkinson’s disease is caused by a lack of dopamine in the brain. Fortunately, besides taking medication, there are other ways a person can naturally increase dopamine levels in the brain. Exercise is the best natural way to boost dopamine release, with several additional benefits to overall health.” He added, “Individuals who run for fitness or recreation often report a sense of exhilaration, or ‘runner’s high,’ that is produced by dopamine and other brain chemicals. However, research has shown that even mild physical activity, such as vigorously bending and straightening one’s elbow, can lead to increased brain dopamine.” Grand Forks resident, Leslie Davidson lives with Parkin-
son’s disease and begins every day with a fast half-hour on the treadmill and incorporates as much walking as possible into her daily routine. Davidson also works through a series of exercises prescribed by the physiotherapist at the UBC Pacific Parkinson’s Research Centre. She finds that the regular exercise improves her balance and motor control, helps with dizziness, and generally contributes to her sense of well-being. “It means I can keep on doing the things I have always loved doing,” she said. Exercise even may help keep Davidson’s Parkinson’s medication at a minimum dosage for a longer period of time. The benefit in the long run is significant, since current Parkinson’s disease medications have long-term side effects. “The ‘Parkinson’s Exercise Revolution’, a phrase coined by Arizona PD rehabilitation and exercise ‘guru’ Dr. Becky Farley, is the theme for PSBC’s many initiatives this year,” said Diane Robinson, CEO (of PSBC). “These initiatives will include working with our 46 support groups province-wide to motivate them to get out and get moving and organizing a number of exercise workshops that will be delivered by Dr. Farley throughout BC in 2012.” Parkinson’s disease is the second most common degenerative neurological disorder after Alzheimer’s. It is complex and difficult to diagnose and it can strike anyone. Gender or age does not matter nor does ethnic background or lifestyle. There is currently no known cure.

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
Faith like Potatoes will be screened at the Grand Forks Gospel Chapel on April 15, ahead of the event “The Gathering”, a Family Renewal Conference, that will be held on June 29 in Nelson, B.C. The movie is based on the life of Angus Buchan, and how he continued to farm despite extreme drought after moving to South Africa from wartorn Zimbabwe. Jeff Zak, a pastor in Nelson and the organizer of the event, pointed out that he first went to South Africa in 2010 to attend one of Buchan’s conferences. “I had watched the film Faith Like Potatoes and I was on a sabbatical at the time and my wife thought it was a good idea to go,” Zak stated. After speaking to one of his friends who had been a missionary in South Africa for 15 years, Zak ended up on a farm with 300,000 men. “That’s when I was first introduced to Angus,” he said. “His message is to take responsibility for your life, your home life and your family,” Zak explained. “(The conferences) focuses on encouragement, morals which are important for a family, and a nation, and vision to not just talk about things but to step out and take a risk and do something important for your family and community.” Prior to heading to the conference in 2010, Zak was looking for encouragement as a pastor. “Anybody in pastoral work, social work or anything where you’re working with people who have disabilities or in a place where you’re trying to encourage other people, it be really difficult,” he Never give up, there’s always can stated. “I was feeling rehope and a second chance. ally burnt out and needed some encouragement from somebody who had been through more than myself.” From watching the film, the message Zak hopes the viewer receives is to never give up. “Never give up, there’s always hope and a second chance, and that God is there for inspiration,” he said. “He’s a very simple speaker and he is a man of the soil. He has a real gift for inspiring people.” Buchan will be speaking about his life at The Gathering. Faith Like Potatoes looks at Buchan’s life and his persistence in farming, how it paid off, and finding faith in God. All proceeds will be given to the Shalom Children’s home, Beth Hatlaim on Buchan’s Shalom farm. The home has 24 children, whose relatives are victims of AIDS, and are all adopted by Buchan and his wife. Buchan will be in Nelson, B.C. on June 29 to July 1.

Notice of Passing DONALD WALTER MacKAY March 27, 1922 to April 3, 2012 Don MacKay passed away suddenly on Tuesday, April 3, 2012, one week after his 90th birthday. He is survived by his son, Roger (Angela); grandson, Guy; sister, Helen; and brother, Angus (Vera). Don was predeceased by his wife, Eleanor; both parents, Robert and Jean; his sisters, Evelyn and Grace (Rocco Talarico); and his brother, Bob (Liz). Don was born on the farm near Vedora, Saskatchewan. During the Great Depression the family relocated for a time to Maple Creek, Sask., and eventually, while en route to the coast, settled permanently at Grand Forks. His early job experiences included farm labourer, railway construction in the Kootenays and “riding the rails” on top of a boxcar to work in the orchards of the Okanagan. While working at a pulp mill at the coast, Don joined the military during World War ll. As a member of the 32nd Battery, Royal Canadian Artillary, Don participated in Operation Overlord and the campaign in Northern Europe. After the war Don settled in to the career that would define him, falling timber. As a faller he worked at various locations throughout the local area, northern B.C. and Vancouver Island. He met Eleanor and they were married in 1957. In the mid ’60s Don decided on a career change to less transitory work with the local Department of Highways. He continued there until his retirement in 1987. Retirement allowed Don more time to pursue his hobbies of hunting, fishing, gardening and more fishing. Funeral services were held on Wednesday, April 11, 2012, with interment at Evergreen Cemetery and a reception at the Royal Canadian Legion afterwards. Grand Forks Funeral Home had care of arrangements.
