Sam Hancheroff – NDP Hancheroff identified the NDP’s priorities as education and skills training.

Declaring support for a healthy forest industry he said that the mill is going to need more logs and offered that the NDP platform plank of reducing raw log exports would help. Hancheroff declared that an edu-

cated society is a society that will prosper. He said the NDP plans to add value to the education sector – “Not to pay more money to teachers but to hire more teachers.” On the use of school facilities by communities Hancheroff said that

Party drops Popoff

KARL YU

Grand Forks Gazette Editor

Mere days after an all-candidates meeting in Grand Forks, the BC Conservatives announced Mischa Popoff was no longer their candidate in the Boundary-Similkameen riding. Popoff writes opinion pieces for newspapers in the Okanagan area and was said to have made some objectionable remarks in some of the columns. He was said to have remarked that the Missing Women Inquiry, which looked into the women that went missing in Vancouver’s downtown eastside in the case against Robert Pickton, was a waste of time. He was also said to have criticized single mothers for raising children without the help of a man. “Mr. Popoff’s various comments were insensitive and disrespectful, particularly to women and single mothers who are, in fact, heroes to their children and their communities in many cases,” the BC Conservatives said in a release dated April 25. “We are a party that believes in a respectful airing of views. Mr. Popoff’s statements were unacceptable and he has been removed as a candidate.” Popoff for his part said he wasn’t going to apologize and explained what he meant to the Gazette. “The commission on missing women was a complete waste of time for the simple fact that there was no disciplinary action taken against the police ... What was the change that occurred after this lengthy inquiry? Nothing,” Popoff said. “Forty-nine women died and nobody gets fired

and that was what I was saying. I didn’t say the missing women were not to be worried about, I said the inquiry was a waste of time,” he said. Popoff also clarified his comment about single mothers. “The statistics show, entering into single motherhood is a very bad idea. If you’re like my mom, and you end up divorced, well that’s a different matter. First of all, that can’t be helped but the statistics also bear out that those kids are better off. Kids are better with two parents and I guess you could even argue they’re better with samesex parents, as long as there’s two of them. Everything’s better with two parents. “I guess the way they worded it was I was running down or attacking single moms but no, I was promoting double parenting,” he said. The BC Conservatives party was contacted for further comment numerous times but had not responded as of press time. Popoff will still run as an Independent and he said that the BC Conservatives didn’t want to see the columns in question. “They vetted me, they knew I was a columnist, they knew I had been writing columns for the (Okanagan Valley Group of Newspapers) for seven years,” he said. At the April 23 all-candidates forum at Grand Forks Secondary School, Popoff angered some attendees with comments regarding teacher salaries, prompting some members of the audience to heckle him. Still, even though he is no longer representing the BC Conservatives, Popoff said he won’t change. “I’ll be doing things the same way. No one wants to hear the mushy middle where all the parties start sounding the same,” he said.

Special r e h s a r C D oo r

Village asks for budget input The Village of Midway opened up their budget planning process to residents last week by hosting a public meeting to gather input on the upcoming municipal budget. There were 10 people present as Mayor Randy Kappes opened the meeting. “Every year council prepares a list of possible capital projects and ranks them so we want to get input from the public as well,” explained Kappes. “In past years the budget has been set and the meetings that have been held have been pretty much information meetings,” Councillor Dick Dunsdon further explained. “So this is an opportunity to give people some input. The budget is not set. We are prepared to take some comments and answer some questions if we can.” Residents were given a quick overview and asked to rank two lists. The first list, printed as prioritized by the 15 responses, is of general areas that residents feel should have council’s attention: 1) Public works (upkeep of village equipment, water and sewer systems) – The meeting was told that the sewer plant was designed to operate to a maximum capacity of 1,600 people. “In the winter a lot of people leave and that plant is not running an efficient level,” said Dunsdon. “So they are talking about putting a roof or some type of cover over it to keep the heat inside.” 2) Economic development/possible property acquisition and development – This generated a lot of discussion. The mayor explained that there is not much land available for development. “It is vitally important we get more industry in here as soon as possible,” said resident Neil Kopp. 3) Removal of airport lands from ALR to allow future growth and development – This is linked to the economic development point above. “We have very little room to maneuver land-wise,” explained Kappes. “About 70 per cent of our community is in the ALR and they are very restrictive of what we can do with that land.” 4) Municipal water conservation. 5) Capital asset maintenance and improvement (village buildings)

6) Environmental stewardship/energy efficiency. 7) Beautification/Communities in Bloom. 8) Health services – “Residents may want to emphasize supporting and maintaining health services,” Councillor Marguerite Rotvold suggested. In the second list residents ranked various capital projects: 1) Community hall renovations and upgrades – Kappes mentioned the need for handicapped washrooms, heating and air conditioning and kitchen upgrades. He said that unless council was to receive a grant they would need to save money over a number of years for the work. 2) Paving study to determine the best method of maintaining and resurfacing village roads. 3) Riverfront campground expansion/improvement. 4) Medical building upgrades. 5) Municipal Hall upgrades. 6) Public works yard improvements. 7) Lobbying for expansion of Parkview Manor – It was noted that the facility provides housing for local seniors near their families as well as generating employment and helping to sustain health services. 8) Arena side door covers to provide roof over the west side doors so that snow and ice build up does not block emergency doors. Kappes noted later that this would probably be moved up when council did final prioritization of the list. 9) Main welcome sign and rest area to attract tourists and inform people that there is more to Midway than the highway. An earlier proposal had proven to be very expensive. “But there is a possibility to reconsider a smaller version of this project ,” said the mayor. 10) Senior’s buildings upgrades. 11) Museum buildings upgrades. 12) Cemetery beautification and improvement. 13) Old schoolhouse improvement/use – Kappes asked those who ranked this as important to suggest a preferred use for the building.

leave the ranch they have to be wearing a tag so each animal can be traced back to the ranch where it was born. “The ear tags also register a birthdate,” explained club leader Doug Fossen. “Some export markets are age specific so it is very important to have that information recorded.” Fossen said this is the third year of Ranch Horse 4-H in the Boundary MultiClub. “There is Ranch Horse 4-H down in the U.S. and in Saskatchewan and Alberta. But this is the only Ranch Horse 4-H Club in B.C. “It teaches the kids how to handle live-

stock properly – at a nice slow pace. Each one of these calves could be worth $900 to $1,000 in the fall, so we want to be very careful with them. They are fragile and we want to look after them.” Each calf was given the Bar-7 brand. “In B.C. a brand is the only legal proof of ownership,” Fossen explained. “So that’s why we still brand, when they are scattered over 70,000 acres of range we want to be able to prove they are ours and get them home in the fall.” The Ranch Horse 4-H club has eight members all together, ranging in age from 9 to 14.

The local Kootenay Cinch N Saddle 4-H Club hosted the Boundary 4-H District Public Speaking Competition on Saturday, April 6 in the United Church Basement in Castlegar. The five seniors and seven juniors entertained the audience with topics of snow leopards, idioms, kindness, horses, and the Olympics. The speech on “What 4-H has done for me” was very fitting as 4-H Canada is celebrating its 100th year. From its humble beginnings in 1913 in Rolland, Manitoba with potatoes as the first project, it has grown and sustained for 100 years to help develop youth into responsible citizens we can all be proud of. The winners in the juniors were: 1st, Sarah Mac Donald of the Boundary C 4-H Club speaking on women’s hockey; 2nd, Jade Fossen from Boundary C 4-H Club on her accident on her horse Danny and how it could have been prevented; 3rd, Margaret Smith from Nelson 4-H Club on how interesting dinosaurs are.

The seniors winner was Sarah Kobylka of Borderline 4-H Club, speaking on the murder of Abraham Lincoln; 2nd, Joselyn Reynolds of Kootenay Cinch N Saddle 4-H Club on her experience working on the family’s organic farm; 3rd, Sara Vanden Born of Boundary C 4-H Club speaking on technology and its effect on society. The impromptu topic was “Do you think city kids would benefit from 4-H?” A big thank you to the judges Linda Gomez, Brogan Pastro and Brent Wray for taking time to help the 4-H program. A wonderful lunch was served and the awards given out. Sarah Kobylka and Jocelyn Reynolds will represent our district at the regionals in Kamloops the end of May. The district council met after the speeches to plan the upcoming Judging Rally Day for May 4 in Rock Creek. The members are invited to compete for 100th year commemorative prizes in a poster contest to celebrate 4-H Canada’s centennial at Rock Creek Rally Day. Thank you to everyone for helping 4-H get to its 100th year.

SAM HANCHEROFF BC NDP Sam Hancheroff was born and raised in Grand Forks, attended school there and went to Selkirk College in Castlegar. In 1971, he moved to Okanagan Falls to start his teaching career at Okanagan Falls Elementary, where he taught for 33 years. Hancheroff was an active community member volunteering with the Ok Falls Fire Department and as an elected trustee for several terms with the Okanagan Falls Irrigation District. He moved to Kaleden, B.C. in 1993 and again was elected as trustee to the Kaleden Irrigation District. In 2004, he ran for school trustee and was elected to School District 53 as a representative for Okanagan Falls. He continues to be a member on both boards at this time. In his capacity as school trustee, Hancheroff travels throughout the district and has numerous occasions to meet with and work with community members. Overwhelmingly, they express wishes to improve learning opportunities for children and adult learners. He also regularly hears from community members about issues or concerns that are affecting their health, lifestyle, job opportunities, and political topics. In addition to these activities, he also manages the family vineyard here in Kaleden, enjoying the opportunity to be involved in the agriculture and viticulture industry. Hancheroff ’s wife Barbra Paterson (a retired school principal) and he have four adult children, and five grandchildren. They both continue to be actively involved in schools and their community, while greatly enjoying being grandparents. Sam is proud to be running as part of Adrian Dix’s BC NDP team in the Boundary-Similkameen. JOHN KWASNICA GREEN PARTY John Kwasnica, a 59-yearold Oliver, B.C. resident of 25 years and long-time Com-

munity Living worker, is the Green Party of BC candidate for the Boundary-Similkameen riding. Raised in a Royal Canadian Air Force family in both Ontario and Europe, Kwasnica joined the Canadian Forces out of high school and as a United Nations’ peacekeeper, was assigned to transport supplies across the Gaza Strip following the Arab-Israeli War of 1973. Honorably discharged in 1976, Kwasnica headed west

and worked in the oil patch out of Edmonton before heading to Vancouver where he met his wife, Angela. The couple has four children – Jason, Cort, Jordan and Alyssa. Kwasnica’s first political association was as shop steward with the British Columbia Ferry and Marine Worker’s Union. In 1988 the Kwasnica family settled in Oliver where John has been attached to the South Okanagan Association for Integrated Community Living. He has lately served as chair of his union local where he acquainted himself with party politics as practiced by the BC NDP. Of his work in the community living movement, Kwasnica affirms the importance of helping adults with developmental disabilities and their families build good lives, enjoy full citizenship and productive relationships in inclusive, supportive communities. He has backed the Green Party in provincial general elections in 2001, 2005 and 2009. “Being selected to run for the Green Party this time further deepens my commitment to Green principles and policies,” says Kwasnica. “I am ready to serve the families of the Southern Interior region as a Member of the Legislative Assembly for Boundary-Similkameen.” LINDA LARSON BC LIBERAL I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to the readers of the Boundary Creek Times.

I am the BC Liberal Party candidate for the upcoming provincial election for this Boundary-Similkameen riding. My husband Larry and I (married 42 years) moved to Oliver in 1989 and bought the Eastside Grocery, then partnered in the Stedmans/ V&S and finally owned Ruffled Edges until 2003. We have three daughters and four grandchildren. I am currently a town councillor in Oliver, B.C. and was the mayor of Oliver from 1997 to 2005. I am the chair of the board of Community Futures Okanagan Similkameen and also chair the provincial Community Futures board representing 34 Community Futures offices around the province. I am the past vice-chair of the BC Small Business Roundtable (2005-2011) and was on the board of directors of Junior Achievement BC from 2006 to 2011. I have been a volunteer with the Sunnybank Ladies Auxiliary for 24 years, a member of Women of Oliver

for Women (WOW, former Soroptimist Club of Oliver) for 20 years and I have run a free muffin program at South Okanagan Secondary School for the past 12 years. I am looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible over the next few weeks and hearing what concerns you most in your home communities.

DOUG PEDERSON INDEPENDENT As an independent, I will be calling our current and past candidates province wide.

I wrote my first computer program using punch cards in 1970. Since then, I have completed a wide variety of high-level business applications in Canada and the U.S. I still tinker with my custom multimedia player and search engine. With my computer background, it will be easy to video interactions and post everything on YouTube and have DVD copies available in all regions. Email and telephone calls will also be available. I believe in total transparency and I have more real world business experience. I will be calling out politicos that don’t work for the peoples’ interest. My loyalty is to the citizens of Boundary Similkameen.

Better than the option Democracy is supposed to be about voters electing someone to represent them. It should start at the constituency level – each party putting their own candidate forward for the consideration of the electors of the riding. Instead the local folks are left out of the process. When all is said and done – only two of the five local candidates got their names and party affiliations on the ballot in a reasonable manner. Political blogger Alex Tsakumis took it upon himself to give Margie Basso and John Slater an offer they couldn’t refuse – withdraw from the race or he would go public. With what we don’t know – they took his offer. The result is that behind the scenes decisions subverted the candidate selection process. Last week the Conservative Party dropped Mischa Popoff. No one can dispute that Popoff is outspoken. He speaks his mind and is quick to do so. After being turfed he argued his comments about single mothers and the missing women’s inquiry were misconstrued. Maybe they were or maybe they weren’t. But the point is – once again the decision of who should represent the people of this riding was tampered with. Voter apathy probably has something to do with this sad state of affairs. We see these kinds of shenanigans going on and we lose faith. But the expectations that a person has placed upon them go a long way in determining how they will behave. Simply put, if we want different behaviours from politics and politicians then we have to start expecting that and insisting that we get it. Meanwhile, don’t lose faith. Get out and exercise your vote in this election. The option to democracy is dictatorship or military junta and we can look at other places in the world to see how poorly those are working for the local folks.

Break-in, theft at Lake Midway RCMP report that they responded to a break and enter in MIDWAY progress at Jewel Lake on Monday, April 22. Cpl. Kevin Christensen reported that two males were observed trying to break into a house at the lake. The males were scared off by the homeowner and entry was not gained into the residence.

The ATV, as well as some tools, was stolen from an unlocked shed. That same day police received a report of a vehicle theft from Anaconda. Sometime during the night a red 1991 Chev S10 with B.C. plate EL0656

was stolen from a residence. The keys had been left in the ignition. This truck has not yet been recovered. And again on Sunday, RCMP received a report of a break in to a shed in Anaconda. The break-in occurred between 2:30 and 4:30 a.m. and numerous power tools were stolen as well as a blue compressor. *** If you have any information regarding any of these thefts or any other crime please contact the Midway RCMP or Crimestoppers. “If you see anything suspicious please contact the Midway RCMP 24/7 as we need your ears and eyes to help us catch this new group of thieves in our area,” said Christensen.

Think before you vote Editor, The Times: “Think before you vote” is indeed a critical action point. One has to be careful for what you wish for. As a victim of government policy, I can attest to the serious impact an election outcome can have on one’s life. In 1972 I graduated from BCIT with a diploma in Mining Technology and I had a job waiting for me at graduation. That also corresponded to the time when the NDP was

elected. Within six months the policies of the NDP collapsed the mining industry and most exploration mining jobs in B.C., including mine. I should not really say I was a “victim” as I voted for the NDP that time. In the 1990s when the NDP was in power, they brought in massive bureaucratic policies for the forest industry. Some were needed, but the majority was just to cover the behinds of the professionals entrusted to manage our resources at an incredible expense in time and money to the forest industry.

These demands resulted in extensive delays which contributed to the massive increase in Mountain Pine Beetle populations with devastating effects on the over-supplied lumber market and smaller rural towns throughout the province, not to mention government tax coffers. In listening to the current NDP policies I cannot help but wonder what negative impacts there will be in the oil and gas industry! Think before you vote! George Delisle, Westbridge

Liberals cannot be trusted Editor, The Times: The BC Liberals under Christy Clark cannot be trusted. BC Liberals said they would not sell BC Rail, then did anyway. People were shocked when this government admitted it was paying the ENTIRE $6 MILLION legal bill for Basi and Virk when they admitted they were guilty, a complete contradiction of government policy. Because of the BC Liberals,

BC Hydro is going to lose $290 million this year, due to paying higher rates for the electricity we are not using, That’s free enterprise. B.C.’s recent budget is not credible. In 2012-13 total B.C. revenue is expected to be $43.1 billion. That’s an annual growth of 3.1 per cent, but the second quarterly report for 2012-13 showed that revenue increased by only 1.9 per cent from the previous year. In the current budget government assumed revenue would increase to $44.6 billion. If revenue continues to grow at 1.9 per cent, revenue for 2013-14 will suffer a $1.1 billion

shortfall. The auditor general, John Doyle, recently released a scathing report on the government’s “carbon offset” program, forcing schools and hospitals to pay more for private-sector “carbon credits”. Under BC Liberals we have had FOUR consecutive deficits in a row. So much for red ink they pledged to “OUTLAW” forever. BC Liberals cannot be trusted. After 12 years of BC Liberal mismanagement, it is time for a change. Gladys Brown, Midway
