Gateway receives blessing ANDREW TRIPP

Boundary Creek Times Reporter

A special event in Midway last Thursday brought together students from all Boundary schools for the official opening of the Gateway Learning Circle. First Nations artist David Seven Deers’ project was several years in the making, and finally realized during a moving ceremony conducted by numerous dignitaries and the artist himself. Designed to be a learning destination for Boundary students, the installation, set in Entwined Trees Park, is comprised of a massive stone gateway and a highly polished black raven sculpture, encircled by 20 blocks of stone, each featuring a chiselled animal motif. School District 51’s director of learning Doug Lacey, one of the primary architects of the project, spoke of Seven Deers dedication to the Gateway, which was produced very economically, money wise, but required hundreds of hours on the artists part to complete. Lacey said, “David Seven Deers was introduced to me well over a year ago as an aboriginal author and storyteller. He had been speaking to primary classes across the Boundary for several years. This was always done outside, in a circle, around a fire. “He was soon speaking to me about a vision he had for the children of the Boundary, and this vision is before you today. It represents a gateway to the world, to learning, to community, to understanding each other, • See GATEWAY page A3

with “mother raven” presiding at the head of the circle. “Over many, many conversations with David this past very busy year, I have truly come to understand the depth of his mantra, ‘everything happens for a reason.’ When our district aboriginal education teachers Wanda Hecht and Marilyn Hanson were visiting with David and his family at their mountain property between Greenwood and Midway, their exclamations about one of his small sculptures led to his vision for the Gateway. ‘Everything happens for a reason.’ Lacey continued, “When the Village of Midway Mayor Randy Kappes invited David and I to come out here to see this beautiful park as a potential home for heelah (raven), I looked around and could see Boundary Central Secondary, Midway Elementary, the beautiful hills above us, the entwined trees, the original Midway oneroom school right there. “The winter before David and I met, I had participated in a talking circle with many community aboriginal elders and heard their wish for a physical gathering place like a friendship centre or an identifiable meeting place and for me this Gateway has become a symbolic first step.” Midway mayor Randy Kappes said the village was extremely honoured to have such an impressive artwork installed in its midst, and that residents would derive much pleasure from it in the years to come. Seven Deers himself spoke in length about his personal journey both as an aboriginal and an artist, and his hopes for the future in relationships amongst all Canadians. His installation undoubtedly represents one huge step in the right direction.

Ready to take on the world

It was another wonderful graduation ceremony at the Midway Arena for Boundary Central Secondary School grads. The grad class of 2015 came onto the floor in their caps and gowns and left in their finest suits and dresses ready to take on the world. For the grads this is a time to cherish and remember—a once in a lifetime experience that they will look back on with pride. It is the one of life’s biggest milestones. A ceremony to bid farewell to youth and childhood and hello to the “real world.” For parents (and grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, friends and others) it’s a time to look at their son or daughter with pride as they prepare for adulthood. This grad class has already shown themselves to be a cut above by showing their class and comportment throughout the years. For many, the next step will be college or university as they decide what to do in the future; some will travel and see the world before embarking on schooling; some will step right into the work force. One thing is certain, this group is prepared and can conquer any of the challenges facing them in the future. – Craig Lindsay, Boundary Creek Times contributor

It seems like only yesterday (40-50 years ago) parents were warned that sitting too close to a television set was harmful for children; and only yesterday (60 years ago) U.S. forces, when testing atom bombs in the Bikini Atoll, told locals it was for the betterment of humanity (see the film Atomic Café). In U.S. tests, troops were told to run towards the explosion for radiation was the least of their concerns. Meanwhile North Americans were advised to “duck and cover.” Three days ago I received a kindly message from FortisBC to get in touch with them—a courtesy call. You see, EMF-emitting smart meters are being installed in the Boundary this summer. Again, it seems like only yesterday (20 years ago) we were being warned of electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) and their affects upon our health. After many scientific papers and non-industryfunded studies that provide enough research to indicate smart meters are a hazard to health, suppliers of electricity seemingly do not wish to listen. See the “International EMF Scientist Appeal to the United Nations,” May 22, 2015 (emfscientist.org/ index.php/emf-scientist-appeal ); and “Smart Meters: Correcting the Gross Misinformation” (maisonsaine.ca/sante-et-securite/electrosmog/smartmeters-correcting-gross-misinformation.html). Of course, FortisBC will refute the information and did when I wrote them or returned their call. I was sent the FortisBC information package, stating: electricity rates will be less (not true accord-

ing to some), that the analogue meters require replacement due to new Measurement Canada guidelines (also not true—according to others the analogues are fine), will provide customers with more detailed electricity use information, that the emissions (24/7) are minimal (research shows otherwise) and most importantly, will reduce the cost of operating the utility (fewer meter readers etc.). Health effects of EMFs include sleep disorders, malfunction of the parathyroid gland, electrohypersensitivity, biochemical changes, dementia, decreased memory, male infertility, immune dysfunction, childhood learning and behavioral impairments—and cancer (the World Health Organization has classified EMF-producing wireless devices as possibly cancer-causing). Like the natives of Bikini Atoll we are being held hostage. Even with protest, the corporation of FortisBC is continuing installations. Customers wishing to opt out of the “turned on” EMF bombardment are required to pay extra charges. Don’t get me wrong, I am really grateful for electricity. I just don’t like the idea of being bullied into a situation I personally feel is not good for my health and my privacy. My concern, as mentioned in the above research, is the long-term effect—the consequences for our health and well-being. Post Script: The contractor for FortisBC was just here, to change the meter. I have refused. According to the contractor I have no choice, but I gather I’m allowed to refuse three times, then Fortis will come and, without notice, cut off the service. So much for freedom of choice. It doesn’t seem to exist. Rosemary Phillips, Rock Creek
