drop in enrollment of 84 students last year was more than anticipated. The district is expected to lose another 45 students in the coming school year – down to 1,268.

Nancy Yamamura poses beside the newest display at the Greenwood Museum. The display commemorates the history and memorabilia of hockey here in the Boundary from the early 1900s through the 1960s. The ﬁrst hockey league in B.C. was the Boundary Hockey League with teams from Greenwood, Grand Forks and Phoenix. The Greenwood Museum and Visitor’s Centre is now open from 10 to 4 every day. When the tourist season gets into full swing their hours will stretch a bit too.

get will be balanced through the loss of three teaching positions, one administration position, reduction in custodial time and by taking approximately $90,000 out of unrestricted surplus. This will leave a balance in the unrestricted surplus of $712,119. There were some 20 parents at the meeting who had come primarily to urge the board to fund full-time secretarial positions at West Boundary (WBES) and Greenwood/Midway Elementary Schools (GES/MES). The parents told the board that they see the secretary as a key member of the school team. “Think safety first,” said parent Jennifer Waygood. “Put staff back to full time.” The previous board had cut funding for elementary school secretaries by five hours to 25 hours a week a few years ago. But WBES Principal Brian Foy and the school parent advisory council (PAC) felt the position too important to lose and had funded the five hours through surplus supply budget money. That pool of surplus money dried up earlier this year and the secretary is now working 25 hours per week. So parents have been lobbying the board for a return to full-time status for the job. Adding to their concern, the board announced that in the fall a one-year pilot project will see Brian Foy take on the role of principal at all four west end elementary school. The parents argue that the secretary’s hours should be increased to insure Foy has the administrative support he needs during the year of the pilot project. Superintendent Michael Strukoff has proposed that both Foy and Jennifer MacDonald – who has been named to fill a part-time vice principal position at WBES – will have cell phones and after-school supervision staff will also have a phone. The parents argue the $115 per month needed to bump a secretary up by five hours is small and should be funded by the board from money received for unique geographic factors.

The kangaroo jumps once and takes off at eight miles an hour. The keeper comes over asks the lady, “What happened?” The lady said, “I tickled the kangaroo and it took off!?

HUGS S and G U L S Hugs: To the volunteers at Rock Creek Medical who hang in there after over ten years on the board. Slugs: To volunteers who quit, leaving other volunteers with all the responsibility. Slugs: To people who, when in a restaurant, don’t turn the ringer on their cell phones down, or set the phone to vibrate.

If you have a hug or a slug, we’d like to hear it. We will print the anonymous submissions for all to see. Be honest, but all we ask is that you keep it tasteful. Editor’s discretion will always be exercised. Simply email bctimesnews@shaw.ca with your short quips, compliments or complaints; or you may drop them off at 318 South Copper Street in Greenwood.

Hugs: To the people who show up each spring and fall at the Boundary Invasive Species meetings. They do great work, from building an inventory database to forming partnerships with stakeholders near and far to make sure the local response to invasive species is based on science. Shhhh! Don’t let the Harper government hear that or they’ll be shut down.

Parents lobby SD51 board Continued from page 1

GES/MES PAC chair Pat Grouette said the problems listed by the WBES are faced by her schools too. “Funding must be found for staff and student support,” she said. Trustee Cathy Riddle acknowledged the parents were “making very valid points” and noted the trustees were in the room hearing them speak. WBES PAC chair Jodi Klein presented two letters to the board supporting the request for more

secretarial hours – one from a Beaverdell Elementary parent and the other from past WBES secretary Bonnie Kelly who said she’d had trouble finding hours in her day to fulfill all her tasks. Parent Melanie Zane asked the board, “Please understand where we are coming from. We are scared.” This was the last public meeting open for input before the budget goes to the board for any final revisions. The board will meet in-camera to discuss the draft before it is adopted on May 14.

Candidates make last pitch Boundary-Similkameen candidates were asked to provide one last statement to the people of the riding, telling the constituents why to vote for them.

Sam Hancheroff

BC NDP My name is Sam Hancheroff. I was born in Grand Forks and have lived my entire life in the constituency, spending 33 years as a teacher in Okanagan Falls. Public service has always been important to me – whether as a volunteer firefighter or in my 30 years of involvement in local politics as a school trustee and trustee for the irrigation district. This local involvement has given me a thorough understanding of the issues facing this region, as well as experience working with local stakeholders from a diversity of backgrounds to build consensus on important issues, both of which I believe would allow me to serve the region well as an MLA. In this election, the residents of Boundary-Similkameen have an important decision to make. I believe that it’s time for a new government with better priorities. A government that will work for change for the better – one practical step at a time. My wife Barb and I have five grandchildren, so I know personally the importance of ensuring proper access to

education and skills training. With 80 per cent of the new jobs created in B.C. requiring some form of post-secondary education, I’m thrilled by our party’s commitment to supporting students through $100 million in post-secondary student grants, as well as additional money for skills training. This money will help improve apprenticeship completion rates and ensure that people across the province, including my own grandchildren, have the skills needed for future jobs. Change for the better also means real support to strengthen the forest industry. As a young man, I worked in the forest, setting chokers behind the D-8 Cat, bucking trees at the landing and working on the planer chain at the Pope & Talbot mill in Grand Forks. These forests provided good-paying jobs that allowed me to work my way through school and they also taught me the value of hard work. But those opportunities are disappearing. Over the last decade the BC Liberals have doubled raw log exports. In 2012 they reached 5.7 million cubic metres – enough to fill a bumper-to-bumper lineup of logging trucks stretching from Vancouver to the border of Mexico. And with our logs went our jobs. We’ve seen mills close and provincial investment in forest health dry up. It doesn’t have to be like that. That’s why I’m excited to be running for the NDP. We’ve got a plan to invest $100 million in forest health, double the number of seedlings planted to five million a year

and focus on using B.C. logs to bring back some of those B.C. jobs. We’ll also update inventories, which are essential to proper management of our forests, and strengthen local involvement in land use planning so the people who live here – the ones who know their forests the best – will have a real say. This is the choice we’re faced with. If you believe, like I do, that it’s time for a positive change, then I ask for your support on May 14.

John Kwasnica

Green Party Since 1986 in Boundary-Similkameen, the Green Party has held onto the hope that critical economic concerns will be decisive – care of air, water and soil. Most voters will cast for those they see as best able to foster new jobs, hold together essential government services (e.g. highways, hospitals, schools), manage taxation fairly and avoid heavy debt. Heavy or light voter turnout will decide the actual quality of the outcome. If elected I would advance the policies to create green jobs in soft energy development and in value-added resource industry, to empower local communities to manage

health and education to suit their particular needs, to develop public transit including better rural inter-urban bus service, to support young farmers, to tax fairly and avoid heavy debt.

Linda Larson

BC Liberals The BC Liberal budget that came out earlier this year maintained the current levels of commitment to British Columbians and kept a controlled approach to moving forward. Unlike the NDP candidate, I do not have “buckets” of money to promise you. The NDP platform relies heavily on taking away money from your businesses, your higher wage earners and your local credit unions – this will not put money in your hands to spend. The NDP have also stated they would put a stop to all capital projects not currently underway – the Penticton Hospital and the correctional facility are now in limbo. I represent stable businessfriendly policy, which I believe will attract new business and investment to B.C. I support the Healthy Forests/Healthy Communities recommendations and the Rural BC Project and many other concerns that have been presented to me (watershed protection, transportation, daycare, senior care etc.). This is an important election. I believe that my business background and years of participating in municipal and regional government, provincial committees (Small Business Roundtable and Junior Achievement of BC) and volunteering (Community Futures) has given me the necessary skills to be an effective voice for you in Victoria. I was told by some people that governments always go into debt so what does it matter if the hole gets $3 billion deeper? Well, it matters to me, my children and my grandchildren and that’s why I am the candidate for the BC Liberal Party and that’s why you should vote for me.

Doug Pederson Independent I’ll be transparent with everything I do. Maybe start a trend for the government representatives everywhere. How

refreshing that would be? How many Stanley Cup riot convictions would there have been if it wasn’t for video? How quick the Boston Bombers went on the run after their video was released. The people deserve honest representation by the best candidate available. I’d put my resume up against all the rest combined. More real world experience and not a chamber of commerce member. I’ll post video from the Osoyoos and Oliver forums for all to see. The local cable channel 18 will show the Oliver footage for the rest of the election. I sure wished that the forums would have included a segment where the candidates could have asked one 30-second question. A half-time break of 15 minutes for a coffee and donut should be done. Start it at 5 p.m., a lot of elderly don’t like going out at night. Everything can be made better; even election forums. I think with my video and computer background, I can make the position of MLA the most transparent anywhere. The people are tired of secrets that always cost them money. All the questions and investigations that need to be researched, I can do. With people seeing all the details. No secrets, no corruption. My overall background trumps what ever the others can offer. I’m against Monsanto and GMO (genetically modified organisms). I want to see all candidates talk to the marijuana issue. I’d like to see the Young Offenders Act repealed. All records from previous MLA’s should be made available. I’d like to see the people unite rather that be divided by minor issues. I am Doug Pederson, the people’s candidate.

Mischa Popoff

Independent Fortis’ two-tiered billing system has nothing to do with conservation. It’s a tax grab, plain and simple, and it must be stopped. As British Columbians began conserving energy over the last decade, the bean counters in Victoria realized less revenue was rolling in as a result. So they raised water rates for Fortis, and then subsequently rubber-stamped For-

tis’s request for a rate increase and twotiered billing, pretending it was all for our own good. But I’ve got news for this province’s bureaucrats, it’s our power. It’s time for Victoria to stop taxing us for using what’s ours and once we get that straight, we should be rewarded with dividends every time our power is sold outside of B.C. Likewise, the carbon tax must also be eliminated. We smoke, drink and burn fossil fuels just as much as Americans do, and they pay half the tax on those things that we do. Sin taxes clearly do not work as a deterrent. What’s more, we already pay about 50 per cent in tax whenever we fill up on gas, so how is another four or five per cent going to make any difference? It’s a tax grab, plain and simple and it must be eliminated. Other programs to be cut include this province’s useless and highly damaging Meat Industry Regulation (MIR), which has destroyed the local meat-processing industry in B.C. and hurt ranching. Premier Gordon Campbell imposed MIR on this province in the name of public safety but there was and remains no evidence that local meat-processors posed any threat whatsoever to the public. Quite to the contrary in fact: deaths attributed to unsafe meat have all come from large-scale plants in Alberta. The next program to eliminate is Victoria’s much-ballyhooed On-Farm Food Safety program. Again, there is no evidence that farmers in this province pose any threat whatsoever to the public. Leave farmers alone Victoria! They feed us. When the economy of British Columbia improves, rural communities across the Boundary-Similkameen will boom just like small towns across the prairies are booming right now. Pay down the debt, attract more businesses by eliminating useless regulations, and we will all prosper. I ask you for your vote on May 14, and to do your part to make history in this riding by sending the first truly independent voice to Victoria to speak on your behalf.

Forget zombies Forget about the zombies – the mussels are really coming! We know this because every since zebra and quagga mussels were introduced into the North American ecosystem in the 1980’s they have been spreading across the continent. They do incredible damage to both native species and to infrastructure. They disrupt the food chain and they have no natural predators in North America. They grow in colonies that can clog industrial pipes leading into lakes. Until this month there was no known way to get rid of them. But a U.S. engineering firm has eradicated an infestation of zebra mussels from a quarry in Virginia in what is believed to be the first extermination of the invasive species in the wild. Mind you it took three weeks, thousands of gallons of potassium chloride and somewhere around $365,000 US to do it. You have to wonder what the effect was on the native species. So prevention seems to be the key here. In December 2012 BC law changed so that no invasive zebra or quagga mussel, alive or dead, is allowed to remain on boats or related equipment. Failure to clean mussels off boats or equipment could result in a fine of up to $100,000. But deterrent is only effective if it is made known. Enter the Clean, Drain, Dry education initiative that is being spearheaded locally by the Boundary Invasive Species Society (BISS) and the Christina lake Stewardship Society (see story page XXX). If you are a boater or rafter please get educated about the threat from these invasive species. If you have any ideas that might help spread the word – for instance, if you might like to put up a rack with educational pamphlets, then get in touch with Barb Stewart at BIS -- 250-446-2232 or via email to boundaryinvasives@gmail.com.

Don’t “move a mussel”

When it comes to the zebra or quagga mussel there are only two options for our local lakes – prevention or mitigation. Once they have infested a lake there is no going back. You have to learn to live with it. And it would only take the irresponsible behaviour of one boat owner to contaminate a lake by putting their fouled boat into the water. With that in mind the Boundary Invasive Species Society (BIS) and the Christina Lake Stewardship Society (CLSS) are planning an aquatic education program for Christina Lake this summer. According to a press release issued by the two groups, there is growing concern regarding the spread of aquatic invasive species in B.C. In 2012, seven vehicles with watercraft heading to B.C. were found to be fouled with mussels while being inspected in Idaho. According to the release, once this species is established it brings with it large economic and environment impacts including diminished property values, fisheries, and recreation and tourism values. There is no control mechanism, so education is imperative to help ensure

that this species along with other identified species does not come to our waterways. The province has established legislation prohibiting movement of boats with mussels; however, there is no mandatory inspection program. Without a concerted effort by all stakeholders it is not a matter of if, but a matter of when they will arrive. The key message for boaters is “Clean, Drain, Dry”. The intent is to make boaters using the public boat launches aware of the need to clean, drain, and dry their boat before entering the lake. Staff will be at Texas Creek boat launch on weekends and as many weekdays as possible through the summer doing voluntary boat inspections. In December 2012, the provincial government amended the Controlled Alien Species Regulation to further restrict non-native species. No invasive zebra or quagga mussel, alive or dead, is allowed to remain on boats or related equipment. Failure to clean mussels off boats or equipment could result in a fine of up to $100,000. The province is developing a plan for implementing the new regulation and is focusing on training government staff

first then will be starting with public outreach. Meanwhile, the local education BIS/ CLSS campaign will include a communication strategy with resort owners to enable them to share information with clients. Signage and posters will be put up and displays at public events over the summer are planned as well. A video, Don’t Move a Mussel, while long at over 40 minutes, is a very good educational tool. It is available on YouTube. According to a provincial government factsheet on the mussels they are not native to North America. Since their introduction from Europe in the 1980s these mussels have spread in Ontario and Quebec, and are now found in at least 24 American states as far west as California and Colorado. Zebra and quagga mussels are not established in Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Montana, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba.If a boat (or other water-based recreational equipment) has come from a known or suspected mussel-infested area, it must be cleaned with hot water (hotter than 60º C), totally drained (including components such as bilges, pumps, intakes, etc.) and dried. It must not be launched into any body of water for at least 30 days (“Clean, Drain, Dry”). Washington, Montana and Idaho all run inspection programs and those states immediately notify the B.C. government if they intercept a suspect boat.

Capital tax will negatively impact Editor, The Times:

In its financial platform, the provincial NDP has announced its intention to apply a capital tax to all B.C. Credit Unions with capital in excess of $20 million should they be elected. If this policy is implemented, it will have a significant impact on our organization and the people and organizations associated with us.

This tax will be applied regardless of how profitable the credit union is. While other provinces in Canada apply a capital tax on business, cooperative enterprises such as credit unions, are exempted from the tax. As we understand this proposal, the cost to Kootenay Savings will be roughly $780,000 per year and will continue to increase annually as our capital base increases. This is a significant cost that will ultimately be borne by our members, our

communities and our employees, as it will have to be paid from income that would otherwise be shared with our members, contributed to community organizations or paid in salaries and benefits. We sincerely hope that the NDP will reconsider this proposed tax on Credit Unions should they form the next provincial government. Brent Tremblay, President and CEO, Kootenay Savings Credit Union

Wear purple for Lupus on May 10 Editor, The Times:

Lupus, Systemic Lupus Erythermatosus (SLE), is one of the over 100 kinds of arthritis. Lupus is known as the disease of 1,000 faces because of the vast number of body parts that it can affect. SLE is the most serious kind of Lupus as it can attack any of our organs, lungs, eyes, blood vessels, muscles, and the brain. Lupus is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks itself. The healthy cells in our body get confused and attack the harmful free radicals and our healthy protective cells. This is like a war going on inside the body 24/7. Many who have Lupus also have Fi-

bromyalgia and Raynaud’s syndrome. Photosensitivity can bring on a Lupus flare. The involvement of the central nervous system can cause impairment of cognitive thinking, fatigue, depression, loss of memory, confusion, thought process, seizures and more. Lupus also mimics other diseases such a MS. As you can see this disease is the very complex I am writing this article to spread awareness and let people know that we desperately need funding for more research to be done. We need specific treatment for Lupus. My best friend, my sister Gloria died 34 years ago of Lupus at the young age of 42 and she was on the same medications we have today and the same ones that were used 50 years ago.

The good news is that we have Lupus research being done in B.C. at UBC. I have had SLE for over 22 years and the symptoms keep coming. I am grateful that I can operate a small business from my home and I have met many friends running this little business that I love. Number one on my bucket list is to let as many people as I can know about Lupus; therefore, I am working with Lupus B.C. to be an advocate for education about this disease. For more information on Lupus please contact the Lupus B.C. Society at http://www.bclupus.org or Shirley Bell 250-447-6298 (shirleybell1@shaw. ca). Shirley Bell, Christina Lake
