The senior, who is a 70-year-old Grand Forks resident, did not wish to be identified for his safety and will be referred to as Mr. Jones. He recalled turning on to Fourth Street and noticing a person in front of Selkirk College brandishing a shiny baseball bat. “He turned around and walked in my direction,” said Jones. “He caught up behind me at the credit union parking area and when I sensed his closeness I faced him and asked what he was up to. He made a statement about someone had knocked on his or his neighbour’s door. He told me to keep walking.” Jones told the Gazette he wasn’t about to turn his back on a person with a baseball bat. “I told him I would walk where he wanted me to if he would turn around and walk the opposite direction,” he said. “He be- gan swinging the bat at me and I backed away from him. Even- tually, I slipped on some ice and he hit me on the head. He kept aiming for my head.” Jones said he was on the ground at that point and defending himself with his feet in the air. “He swung and swung and swung, mostly hitting my feet, but also my arms, legs and calves,” Jones recalled. “He men- tioned again about someone knocking on his or his neighbour’s doors and calling the RCMP.” Jones said he heard a semi-truck unloading at the nearby Sears store, which he figures is pretty rare for a Sunday. “Hearing the semi, I asked the batter if he heard the motor and perhaps it was the RCMP,” said Jones. “That was enough for him to stop to look, that’s all I needed to get off the ground and run over to the truck driver.” Jones borrowed a cell phone from the truck driver and called 9-1-1. He says the suspect took off towards Buy-Low Foods. Jones was taken by ambulance to Boundary Hospital where he was kept for two hours as the doctors looked for any possible brain injury. “I had no open cuts but incredible bruises and pain,” said Jones. “The opinion was that I had no immediate symptoms of a concussion but they could develop.” Jones was treated for injuries at Boundary Hospital and also went to emergency in Kelowna when he was there for other tests. He has also had throbbing pain in his left thumb, although there are no fractures. Jones said he has been in contact with vic- tim services. Jones said he has run, walked or biked around Grand Forks and area for years but is a little hesitant now. “Naturally, this event has raised my concerns about safety in this town,” he said. “It’s an issue for all of us from seniors to children.” He said he gone on two walks since but is stick to the Aquatic Centre where safety is not an issue.

Senior assaulted with baseball bat

A man with a baseball bat attacked a local senior going for a walk downtown early Sunday morning.

Local RCMP have spoken to one person of interest but no ar-rests have been made following the incident that occurred near City Hall at around 6 a.m. on Jan. 11.

The senior, who is a 70-year-old Grand Forks resident, did not wish to be identifi ed for his safety and will be referred to as Mr. Jones.

He recalled turning on to Fourth Street and noticing a person in front of Selkirk College brandishing a shiny baseball bat.

“He turned around and walked in my direction,” said Jones. “He caught up behind me at the credit union parking area and when I sensed his closeness I faced him and asked what he was up to. He made a statement about someone had knocked on his or his neighbour’s door. He told me to keep walking.”

Jones told the Gazette he wasn’t about to turn his back on a person with a baseball bat.

“I told him I would walk where he wanted me to if he would turn around and walk the opposite direction,” he said. “He be-gan swinging the bat at me and I backed away from him. Even-tually, I slipped on some ice and he hit me on the head. He kept aiming for my head.”

Jones said he was on the ground at that point and defending himself with his feet in the air.

“He swung and swung and swung, mostly hitting my feet, but also my arms, legs and calves,” Jones recalled. “He men-tioned again about someone knocking on his or his neighbour’s doors and calling the RCMP.”

“Hearing the semi, I asked the batter if he heard the motor and perhaps it was the RCMP,” said Jones. “That was enough for him to stop to look, that’s all I needed to get off the ground and run over to the truck driver.”

Jones borrowed a cell phone from the truck driver and called 9-1-1. He says the suspect took off towards Buy-Low Foods.

Jones was taken by ambulance to Boundary Hospital where he was kept for two hours as the doctors looked for any possible brain injury.

“I had no open cuts but incredible bruises and pain,” said Jones. “The opinion was that I had no immediate symptoms of a concussion but they could develop.”

Jones was treated for injuries at Boundary Hospital and also went to emergency in Kelowna when he was there for other tests. He has also had throbbing pain in his left thumb, although there are no fractures. Jones said he has been in contact with vic-tim services.

Jones said he has run, walked or biked around Grand Forks and area for years but is a little hesitant now.

“Naturally, this event has raised my concerns about safety in this town,” he said. “It’s an issue for all of us from seniors to children.”

He said he gone on two walks since but is stick to the Aquatic Centre where safety is not an issue.

Author gives readingLocal author Dennis Thome held a reading and book signing at the Grand Forks and District Public Library on Saturday. Thome was focusing on two of his books: Experiments in Rurality, and Other F Words: Experiments in Floetry (both are available online at amazon.ca under the name Denn Thome). He draws on his experiences as a community volunteer, employment counsellor, park ranger, newspaper columnist, basketball coach, and insurance representative for inspiration for his writing.

Deer workshop educationalGrand Forks is not the only

community in B.C. with a deer problem. That’s one of the things learned by councillor Chris Ham-mett at the recent deer manage-ment workshop on Jan. 12 and 13 in Vancouver.

“I think this is the fi rst time the provincial government—un-der pressure from the municipali-ties—has met with the communi-ties regarding solutions that can be done,” said Hammett. “It was edu-cational. I think we really needed to have someone there because I understand we were one of the groups lobbying to have provincial dialogue. So it was imperative that we send someone.”

The workshop was put on jointly by the provincial government and the Union of British Columbia Mu-nicipalities (UBCM). Hammett said the workshop was open to any in-terested communities in B.C. look-ing to learn more about urban deer.

Hammett said there were nine presenters talking on a number of subjects pertaining to urban deer. Presenters were from various gov-ernment organizations ranging from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and Ministry of Environment, to the SPCA and WildSafeBC.

“It was good that the commu-nities were able to communicate their own individual concerns and problems in their areas and get feedback from the provincial gov-ernment,” she said.

“The next step is to compile all that information from the work-shop, and UBCM will present that to the provincial government with a report. From that we should expect a report back from the province with-in 90 days of that report as to what they’re going to provide to us.”

Hammett said the municipali-ties are hoping for better commu-nication with the province moving forward.

“We’re hoping for education and a standardized communica-

tion package that all communi-ties can use rather than having all the communities spend their own money to do all their own re-search,” she said. “This way it will be standardized across the prov-

ince.”Hammett said the workshop

was also valuable for learning from other communities that have dealt with the same issue.

“We learned about the differ-ent options that are available,” she said. “We heard about how other communities have managed the deer and what they’ve experi-enced; how they’ve done it and the problems they’ve encountered.”

Hammett said that on the sec-ond day of the workshop, the at-tendees broke into groups and col-laborated on deer issues.

Hammett said she learned a lot from nearby communities on what goes on with a deer cull.

“There’s a lot more that goes into a cull than what we realize,” she said. “There are more restric-tions. Every community has to do due diligence in regards to moni-toring, collaring, surveys, com-munity opinion, before getting a permit.”

The attendees talked about other methods of controlling deer populations such as sterilization, contraception, translocation and hazing.

“These are other methods that have been tried and are still being researched,” said Hammett.

She said she was unfortunately not able to meet with the govern-ment one on one and get answers related to Grand Forks’ deer prob-lems.

“I couldn’t get any promises from anyone,” she said. “Personal-ly, I wanted to know what respon-sibility the provincial government was going to take and suggested that perhaps actual culls could be turned over to Fish and Wildlife as part of their responsibility. Of course, there would be shared ex-penses involved.”

Hammett said that deer is a pro-vincial responsibility; however, the municipalities are the ones causing the problems by encouraging the deer by not enforcing the bylaws and people feeding them.

“I know people enjoy seeing the animals up close and it’s nice to live in harmony with nature—but when people start feeding them it becomes unnatural and they won’t go back to their natural migration patterns,” said Hammett.

“There are a lot of social issues involved.”

Expect fun on Family Day weekend

The City of Grand Forks is once again spon-soring the Family Day fun weekend, which goes Feb. 7-9 this year.

Residents will be able to partake in free skiing at Phoenix Ski Hill, a free movie at the GEM, free bowling, as well as plenty of fun events on Satur-day downtown on Market Avenue.

Sarah Winton, acting corporate offi cer/com-munications, said the Family Day weekend event is a partnership between the city and partners such as the regional district, Phoenix Ski Hill and other groups and businesses, to make sure there are free events for everyone in the community.

Winton said the plans are going well so far.“We’re getting a very positive response for fi -

nancial sponsorship from local businesses,” she said. “It looks like we’ll have at least one day of free skiing and we’re working on two. The re-gional district will be providing a free swim and free skating. There will be the main day festivities

on Saturday (Feb. 7). The fi re department will be there. We’ll also have hot dogs there.”

Winton said there will also be the always pop-ular road hockey played on the street on Market Avenue, which will be blocked off from Second to Fourth Streets.

“There will be lots of fun activities for the fam-ily beginning at 11 a.m. and running until 1 p.m. (on Saturday),” said Winton. “We want a great family turnout. We want to provide a great op-portunity for families to come out and celebrate our great community.”

As well as events sponsored by the city and partners, the fourth annual Wilgress Lake Ice Fishing Derby will be underway Feb. 7 – 9, fea-turing prizes, trophies—and a snow carving con-test!

The derby is presented by Boundary Metis Community Association and the Boundary Ab-original All Nations Council.

EditorialiNSIGHTyour news view

When we at the Gazette office first heard about the baseball bat attack on a local senior outside of the Grand Forks Credit Union, we thought that couldn’t be right.

No one gets viciously attacked right here in our sleepy little town. That’s some-thing that only happens in big cities like Kelowna or Surrey. We here in the Bound-ary like to think we live in a perfect oasis with no crime or drugs.

But as we were reminded with this re-cent event—anywhere you have people, you have criminals and crime and violence.

The scars and bruises from the attack will heal soon enough, but you can bet the next time this person goes for a walk he’ll be looking over his shoulder. Or maybe he’ll settle for walking indoors at the arena or just around his house.

Can we truly be sure we’ll be safe when we walk the dog around the block or go to the post office to get the mail?

What can we do to protect ourselves? Should we only go out in groups? Go to the gym and bulk up or take up karate to de-fend ourselves? Carry an air horn or pep-per spray?

The arson attacks at City Hall and a few years back at the hotels were devastating but at least no one was injured. But they are also reminders that some people in our so-ciety have issues. The person with the bat who attacked the senior is still at large and we can only speculate on his mental and/or physical health conditions. It would cer-tainly appear he has issues.

Whether it stems from drug abuse or mental health problems, perhaps the bet-ter solution for combating crime is to tackle the root of it. Maybe by having better safe-guards people won’t fall through the cracks as much. More support groups, stronger social safety nets, more affordable housing, education and more dialogue would be a good start.

HOW TO REACH US

Facing the winter doldrums

Mid-January is a depress-ing time of year.

The holidays are over and everyone has been forced back to their daily drudgery of work and school.

Store owners eyeball the empty aisles of their empo-riums and recount the cash they took in over Christmas, hoping that it will be enough to see them through the next two months and wondering if they should have extended the Boxing Week sale into a Box-ing Month sale.

The weather seems to con-sist of a series of arctic blasts followed by accumulations of ankle deep slush, and every-one knows there is no hope in sight until at least the third week of February when we might get a wave of tropical air pushing through the frigid arctic front.

To make matters worse, the movie and TV moguls take ad-vantage of the fact that we are all storm-stayed, huddled in front of our televisions, and so begin the long string of award programs celebrating celeb-rity, glamour and glitz.

The Golden Globes are fol-lowed by the People’s Choice Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards and then finally the Oscars. We are forced to choose between watching the

same small flock of grinning glitterati strut across a series of extravagant stages or tun-ing into reruns of Ice Road Truckers or The Life of the Emperor Penguin.

Of course the moguls are feeling the pinch of January themselves and hope to en-courage us to leave the com-fort our homes, plow through the snow and drop a few bucks at the local movie palace.

Some rugged individuals love the winter of course. Ski-ers and snowboarders expect the greatest accumulations of snow at this time of year and can hardly wait to make new tracks as often as they can.

Nerdy adolescents like it too. The cold and snow gives them an excuse to stay indoors playing video games. They

learn early on how to fake a realistic cough and make their voices faint and squeaky.

Family Day, Feb. 9, is sup-posed to help end the winter blahs, though being so early in February it might be just a day when the kids can pitch in to help shovel the driveway.

That leaves Valentine’s Day to look forward to as a means of breaking the monotony of the winter doldrums. It is an-other consumer-based holi-day, of course, created by the wizards of free enterprise. Still, it isn’t a bad idea.

At least it focuses our atten-tion on another person rather than winter’s blight, and a little romance is a pretty good way to begin the process of thawing out.

Opinion

Letters to the editor Time to right the wrongAnyone who has taken the time to read even a small amount of the informa-

tion that has been published about cannabis sativa/indica or marijuana online and in special magazines and newspapers must wonder why a plant with so many documented healthful benefits was placed on the list of illegal drugs in the first place.

The story of how cannabis indica was add-ed to a list of banned substances by the fed-eral government in 1923 is bothersome yet it is seldom if ever mentioned in discussions about the need to legalize and decriminalize it.

In 1923 the Liberal government led by Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King introduced in parliament an Act to Prohibit the Use of Opium and Other Drugs. Herb Beland was health minister and it is under-stood that he told parliament that the bill was just a consolidation of legislation that had been passed over previous years with a few changes.

According to historians, there is no record of any debate of the act in Hansard, the official parliamentary record.

With the passage of the act, Canada became one of the first countries in the world to make smoking marijuana illegal. It was not until 1937 that the United States followed suit and banned its use.

The only drugs on the Canadian list before the additions were opium, mor-phine, cocaine and eucaine (a local anesthetic used as a substitute for cocaine). Three new drugs were added to the list: codeine, heroin and “cannabis indica (Indian hemp) or hashish”.

Hansard shows that Beland told parliament, “There is a new drug in the sched-ule” when in fact there were three.

On May 3, 1923, the Senate reviewed the legislation. Raaoul Dandurand, Lib-eral Senate leader, is on record as having stated, “There is only one addition to the schedule: Cannabis Indica (Indian hemp or hasheesh)”.

According to the authors of a book Panic and Indifference: The Politics of Canada’s Drug Laws, the narcotics division of the health department of the day has draft copies of the bill on file that make no mention of cannabis. However, the words “Cannabis Indica (Indian hemp) or hashish” were found in a note attached to a carbon copy. There is no record of who might have attached the note, but both houses of parliament agreed to the addition without question.

How did Canadians who used cannabis at the time respond to the ban? Were the police suddenly faced with making arrests for possession or abuse?

According to historian Catherine Carstairs at the University of Guelf, author of a book called Jailed for Possession: Illegal Drug Use, Regulation and Power in Canada 1920-1961—a social history of drug use in Canada—there were few incidents in-volving cannabis users in the years following the passage of the act.

What information about cannabis might have influenced Prime Minister King and his colleagues prior to the passage of the act?

It is highly likely that the government was influenced by a series of biased and sensational articles written by Emily Murphy and published by Maclean’s magazine. Murphy, a suffragette, Canada’s first female police magistrate judge, and the leader of the Irish Orange Order in Canada wrote the articles under the name Janey Canuck.

The publication of a book called The Black Candle, written by Murphy and pub-lished in 1922, may also have had a strong influence. The book was written with the sole purpose of pressuring the government to pass stricter drug laws.

The director of the federal division of narcotic control at the time, Colonel Sha-man, might also have had the greater influence on the decision when he moved to have cannabis added to Canada’s list of controlled drugs because the League of Nations was thinking of international control.

The tragedy in this story is that Canadians have been subjected to a law that had its beginnings under questionable circumstances 92 years ago.

After 92 years it’s time to right the wrong.

Konrad’s conduct concerning

Review fire truck purchase

Editor, The Gazette:I recently wrote an open letter to the

mayor and council of Grand Forks. I believe the letter itself is a bit too long to be accepted as a letter to the editor, but I’d like to share the key points with your readers.

My letter was sparked by my concern about the conduct of Mayor Frank Konrad at the Monday, Jan. 12 regular city council meeting. I was unable to attend the meet-ing in person but was able to watch the live video feed of the meeting on gftv.ca.

During discussion around the accep-tance of a letter from a citizen about the residential water mtering program, it was suggested by staff that Wayne Kopan (the city’s building inspector) speak to the issue at hand.

Mr. Kopan went on to explain the results of his research into the issue (the issue in question was whether using certified water meter installers instead of licensed plumbers was in compliance with the building code or not).

I’m sorry to say that at this point Mayor Frank Konrad let down the citizens of Grand Forks. The manner and substance of his questioning of Mr. Kopan played more like a Crown prosecutor questioning a hos-tile witness than a sitting mayor discussing a matter with a member of his own staff.

Mr Kopan stated that he had spoken with Zachary May, a codes administrator with the BC Building Code Appeal Board. By all accounts, Mr. May should be seen as

an excellent source for Mr. Kopan to cite in bringing valuable information to both coun-cil and the citizens of Grand Forks.

Mayor Konrad, however, seemed unimpressed with Mr. May’s word and in my opinion proceeded to belittle both Mr. Kopan and then Councillor Thompson when she offered thoughts on the matter. Incredibly, Mayor Konrad also took it upon himself to declare that “the installations are null and void, they’re illegal.”

At one point, Mr. Konrad even appeared to be accepting and receiving text messages rather than paying attention to the discus-sion at hand. (The meeting in its entirety can be seen at gftv.ca should anyone wish to watch and judge for themselves.)

Needless to say I am disappointed by this performance. In my opinion, a leader is cau-tious before making pronouncements and treats those he is supposed to be leading with dignity and respect, not ridicule and scorn.

It is my hope that we will look back on this incident as an example of a person making an error in judgment due to inexpe-rience.

I and many like me are prepared to offer this council our support as citizens over the next four years as they learn and grow into their roles.

Regardless, I know that the citizens of Grand Forks will be watching with inter-est.

Ian Mitchell,Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette:Grand Forks Fire/Rescue department

costs every person and business in the city roughly $2 per week.

We are now told a new fire truck is required to ensure our property insurance premiums remain at the current level. These premiums are partly based on the flow rate of water onto a fire.

The previous council authorized the purchase of a 30.5-metre (100-foot) ladder truck at an overall cost of $1.3 million—roughly $320 per resident and business. Grand Forks does not allow buildings over

12 metres (40 feet) in height and we already have a 15.25-metre (50-foot) ladder truck. Almost no other municipality, excepting large cities, has a 30.5-metre (100 foot) lad-der fire truck.

As I stated to council at the Jan. 12 regu-lar meeting, it might be sensible for council to review this purchase.

It may be possible to adjust our com-mitment to the manufacturer, thus saving tax dollars, by acquiring a conforming and cheaper truck.

Editor, The Gazette:In response to Ron Mellett’s letter in

the Jan 14. issue, I would say that he is missing the point.

We had a huge response from citizens opposed to the proposed water meter project. A majority response, asking then-mayor and council for time to review the matter. They utterly ignored the public outcry.

If our democratic right is “only” to vote in people for office, the public would never get any laws amended, or have the ability to improve areas such as human rights and other legislation. This is very much affected by public outcry.

Unions protest existing laws and regulations in an effort for a more demo-cratic work environment. It is part of the process. Women in the U.S. were doing mass demonstrations way back in 1913 in an effort to gain the privilege to vote. We take many things for granted now, as

a direct result of public outcry trans-forming the way we live.

Where the elected officials don’t have any respect or regard for the majority opinion, or public outcry, they are soon out of a job. Witness the last election.

I came from a country where the gov-ernment had total rule over the popula-tion, and I was lucky enough to escape that environment, seeking a place where my vote meant something and public opinion does matter.

We aren’t voting for someone to rule us, we are voting for civil servants.

We are optimistic about the new mayor and council, and believe that they will welcome ideas from the public on how to improve the City of Grand Forks.

In our democratic system, our voices are heard not only on election day.Richard Fausten,Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette:There were more than 800 residents

who signed a petition asking for a refer-endum on the water meter issue in early 2014. This is our opportunity to see if the new mayor and council are prepared to listen to us.

During the election campaign, Frank Konrad graciously offered an “open door” policy, if elected as mayor. He promised he would give all residents an opportu-nity to talk to him any time about city-related issues and concerns, and provide input to decisions he and council make on our behalf.

Now would be a good time to ask Mayor Konrad to keep that promise. Let’s see if his door is still open.

Starting on Jan. 26, Mayor Konrad and council will begin considering options with respect to water meters.

Without the fear of retaliation, do express your concerns in writing, and submit them as soon as possible. You may wish to include comments on any of the following questions:

• During the meter installation process, were there any BC plumbing code, BC building code or city bylaw violations?

• Was anything done in some way that was wrong or inappropriate by Neptune or the city?

• Was there any violation of rights, in-timidation, threats, wrongful entry, sloppy installation, leaky pipes, misrepresenta-tion, or broken promises?

Anything else you think may be an impropriety, please send a letter or email

to the mayor as soon as possible, detailing what happened.

• If a meter was installed against your will, due to the fear of intimidation of fines.

• If you want the meter removed for any reason.

• If a meter was installed against your will, and you do not want it activated.

• If a meter was installed, and due to health risk considerations, you do not want it.

• If you have not had a meter installed, and do not want a meter.

• If a meter was installed by Neptune, without the owner’s knowledge or per-mission.

You can send a letter in support of a meter.

This is your chance to be heard, to let the new mayor and council know what happened, so they can consider this infor-mation going forward in their decision-making process.

If you wish to send an email, address it to the mayor at [email protected].

To send a letter, address it to Mayor Frank Konrad, City Hall, Box 220, Grand Forks, B.C. V0H 1H0, or drop the letter off at the City Hall office, at 7217 4th St., Grand Forks, B.C.

Let me leave you with this parting quote by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr: “Man’s capacity for justice makes democ-racy possible, but man’s inclination to injustice, makes democracy necessary.”

Gene Koch, Grand Forks

Jones admits he feels less safe than he did be-fore the attack.

“It will take me some time, if ever, to feel com-fortable about the security in town,” he admitted.

Grand Forks RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison said that police are still investigating the assault and that it is a priority case.

“The complainant reported having been as-saulted by an unknown male in the parking lot of the Grand Forks Credit Union,” said Harrison. “Constables attended the scene where the com-plainant was being treated by B.C. ambulance staff. The constable determined that the com-plainant had been out for a walk as he does every morning and saw a male walking westbound in front of Selkirk College with a baseball bat.”

Harrison explained that the male with the bat followed the complainant and eventually swung the bat at him.

“The complainant tripped in a snow bank and was hit in the head and legs with the baseball bat,” said Harrison. “He got up and ran towards Sears where a delivery man was unloading and called 9-1-1. He sustained a goose egg on the left side of his head and a bruise on his left leg.”

Harrison said the assailant is described as being a male, believed to be in his 20s, approxi-mately 5’10 to 5’11 with a hoody with patterning (not believed to be camouflage) and with a dark beard.

“Immediate patrols couldn’t locate anyone but we did eventually find someone that we be-lieve is a ‘person of interest’ in this case,” said Harrison. “He was interviewed. He flatly denied having any involvement; however, we still con-sider him a person of interest. The investigation is still continuing. This appears to be an unpro-voked attack, obviously. The victim, obviously, did not know the assailant. It wasn’t a targeted attack.”

Harrison said that because the attack was unprovoked, it is a very high priority. Harrison added that attacks ‘out of the blue’ are very rare.

“Thankfully, his injuries—considering he was attacked with a baseball bat—are quite mi-nor,” said Harrison. “He got a good lump on the side of his head which is always a concern and a bruise on his left leg and that’s definitely con-cerning but thankfully nothing that’s permanent injury or anything of that nature.”

Thieves target liquor stores

Vodka stolen from liquor storeOn Jan. 14 at 1:18 p.m. Grand Forks police re-

ceived a report of an individual stealing a bottle of Polar Ice vodka from Winnipeg Liquor Store on Central Avenue.

“The suspect was arrested and searched and the liquor was recovered,” said Staff Sgt. Har-rison. “In addition to that, a bunch of suspected stolen items from the local dollar store were lo-cated in his possession, along with some illegal narcotics.”

Harrison said the individual involved, a 22-year-old male from Grand Forks, will likely be charged with several offences.Truck and snowmobile stolen

On Jan. 16 at 6:34 a.m. RCMP received a report of a truck and snowmobile stolen from a residence on Hughes Road in Grand Forks.

“A Chevrolet Silverado was parked in the person’s driveway,” said Harrison. “He believes he may have left it unlocked with the keys in it somewhere. Interestingly enough, another stolen vehicle which was reported stolen out of Osoyoos was recovered on Carson Road just adjacent to the complainant’s property.”

Harrison said tire tracks at the scene indicated that the vehicle had been backed out of the driveway headed south on Hughes Road and then east on Carson Road.

“What we’re thinking is that the suspects stole a vehicle in Osoyoos, dumped it here in Grand Forks and then stole another vehicle here and took off,” said Harrison.

The stolen vehicle was re-covered in Oliver. The snow-mobile, a black 2009 Arctic Cat 800, is still missing. Anyone seeing the snowmobile is urged to call Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288.Break-in at New Century

On Jan. 17 at 1:35 a.m. RCMP received a report of an alarm going off at New Century Restaurant.

“It appears someone had tried to break into the restaurant,” said Harrison. “They removed some trim off the right side of the front door glass. They did not gain entry and there was minimal damage. It appears they obviously were scared off by the alarm.”Break-in at OK Tire

Also on Jan. 17, at 2:24 a.m., RCMP received a report of an alarm at OK Tire on Central Avenue.

“It appears the building was broken into and the cash register, valued at $400, and cash were missing from the premises,” said Harrison.

Harrison said the cash register was subse-quently found on Spencer’s Hill and found to be damaged beyond repair.

“Video obtained indicates that two males in a pick-up truck were involved,” said Harrison. Break-in at Greenwood Liquor Store

At 3:26 a.m. on Jan. 17 police responded to an alarm at the Greenwood Liquor Store.

“Two men in hoods were seen on video at that Greenwood govern-ment liquor store,” said Harrison. “They broke in through the front door. The bottom panel of the front window was smashed.”

Harrison said that liquor was taken but noth-ing else.

Harrison said the three break-ins on Jan. 17 appear to be connected. There was also a break-in in Osoyoos with two men in hoodies that may also be connected.

“We believe it to be criminals travelling through our community,” said Har-rison.Former Midway command-er passes away

Staff Sgt. Harrison at-tended a memorial ser-vice for Sgt. Kim Hall on Monday in Revelstoke. Hall passed away suddenly Jan.

12 at age 60 from a stroke. She was an opera-tions NCO with the Revelstoke RCMP detach-ment. She had served many years in Midway with the Boundary detachment.

She was also instrumental in setting up the Citizens on Patrol program in Grand Forks, said Harrison.

looking for a new place to put your passion?Consider getting involvedGrand Forks Credit Union (GFCU) has been serving our members – wholive near and far – since 1949. We are a member-owned financial cooperative. Each and every one of our members makes a difference to our well-being – both as a locally owned and operated company and ascitizens living and contributing together within our communities.

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

Within a year, 50 members had joined and assets were over $400. Today, we are almost 9,000 members strong with more than $210 million dollars in assets providing a full range of competitive financial products and services and continually re-investing into our communities.

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

How do i express my interest to run in the election?If you are interested in becoming acandidate in the 2015 Board ofDirectors’ Election, please downloadthe Candidates’ Intro Kit which out-lines what is required of a Director interms of time and qualifications. Andplease email us at [email protected] express your interest in having amember of our Board Development& Nominations Committee contactyou. What is GfCU looking for in its prospective candidates?GFCU needs leaders who bring withthem a broad range of skills andattributes that strongly align withour values and that support andstrengthen the current Board’s ongo-ing commitment to implementingour strategic vision. did you know…?Credit unions, called by variousnames around the world, are mem-ber-owned, not-for-profit financialcooperatives that provide savings,credit and other financial services

to their members. Credit unionmembership is based on a commonbond, a linkage shared by saversand borrowers who belong to aspecific community, organization, reli-gion or place of employment. Creditunions pool their members’ savingsdeposits and shares to finance theirown loan portfolios rather than relyon outside capital. Members benefitfrom higher returns on savings, lowerrates on loans and fewer fees onaverage.Credit unions worldwide offer mem-bers from all walks of life much morethan financial services. They providemembers the chance to own theirown financial institution and helpthem create opportunities such asstarting small businesses, growingfarms, building family homes andeducating their children. Regardless of account size in the credit union, each member may run for the volunteer board of directors and cast a vote in elections. In some countries, members encounter their first taste of democratic decision making through their credit unions.* *WOCCU.org website excerpt

The Board of Education for School District 51 (Boundary) adopted the District Achieve-ment Contract for 2014/15 at their regular board meeting held at Boundary Learning Centre in Midway on Tuesday, Jan. 13..

The report was presented to the board by Superintendent Kevin Argue. It provides a snapshot of data that can help identify trends over a number of years and then sets targets for the future.

The report identifies both what is improv-ing, as well as challenging areas. Each cat-egory lists the data used to show supporting evidence for the conclusions drawn in the report.

Argue said the work helps to ensure the district is “working toward adults with posi-tive, productive, steady lives.”

During discussion of the low survey sat-isfaction numbers found in the report, Direc-tor of Instruction Doug Lacey said, “I think this is one reason the government wants to get going on Transformation of Education. What are we doing for student engagement, motivation and all of that type of thing?”

Argue added that the Transformation of Education agenda is driven by the skills stu-dents have today. “Our kids’ skills and how they have changed so much. How they are learning, what they are learning—what they have access to. Some of the things that they are being asked in the classroom don’t con-nect with things that they see in their day-to-day world. It is hard to keep up with that little device in their hand. That is not an easy task, but it is the path that we are hopefully going to go down.”

The Superintendent’s Achievement Con-tract for 2014-2015 identifies four goals:

1. To embed the inquiry process into teaching and learning throughout School District 51.

2. To improve student achievement in reading.

3. To increase students’ access and use of technology to deepen learning and authenti-cally communicate their knowledge.

4. To improve the positive, social emo-tional connectedness of our students to their school experience through school initiatives supported by our Health Promoting Schools coordinator.

***Prior to the meeting, the trustees and

administration got an update from teach-ers Jennifer MacDonald and Jennifer Ea-ton on a province-wide ministry initiative called Changing Results for Young Readers (CR4YR). The pair are part of a larger team working with elementary teachers to in-crease reading skills of new readers.

Teachers representing districts from across the province will meet in Richmond this week for an Early Reading Advocates Networking Session, which will provide opportunities to network and get feedback from other working on the program in their own school districts.

***Also discussed were field trips for June

15-18 for the GFSS band to Banff/Calgary and Perley Grade 7 students to Vancouver and Victoria were discussed.

***The next board of education meeting will

be on Tuesday, Feb. 10 at 6 p.m. at the School Board Office in Grand Forks.

The Grand Forks Rotary Club is pre-senting its Scotch Tasting event on Jan. 31 at gallery 2 from 7-10 p.m. Get your tickets early as this event promises to be a “dram” good evening.

The event features nine different premium single malt Scotches ranging in age from 12 years old to 18 years old.

“The Scotches range in price from $80 to $150 and cover all regions of Scotland,” said Gord Nichols of the Ro-tary Club. “We’ve got an Auchentoshan from Lowlands, an Ardberg – Au-riverdes from Islay, a 12-year-old Glen Scotia from Campbelton, and many more.”

With a ticket, each person gets five samples of Scotch as well as cocktail snacks prepared by Twisted Fork Cater-ing. There is beer and wine available. Also available is a safe ride home pro-gram so everyone gets home safely.

“It’s going to be a fun social evening,” said club president Wayne Christensen. “It’ll be a warm, wintery Scottish atmo-sphere with a piper from Grand Forks Pipes and Drums on hand.”

Christensen said the event is in its seventh year and is a much more cozy affair than the popular wine tasting event which the club also hosts.

“The idea is to sip Scotch in celebra-tion of Robbie Burns Day,” said Chris-tensen. “It’s also a fundraiser for the club with the money raised going to the spray park project as well as our inter-national projects.”

Tickets are $35 each and are avail-able at Sears in Grand Forks. Designat-ed drivers can get a deal and pay $15 for pop, coffee and snacks.

Nichols said they try to have dif-ferent Scotches each year. Each person attending will receive a notebook with the club’s own notes and they are en-couraged to make their own notes on each Scotch they try.

Nichols said there are several things to look for when tasting Scotch: colour/appearance—swirl the whiskey and note the “legs” (the way the whiskey clings to the surface of the glass; as with wine, the longer and more pronounced the legs, the higher the level of alcohol); nose—believe it or not, scent is more important than taste when evaluat-ing whiskey; the first sip—don’t swirl around your mouth as you would a wine, rather, let it roll over your tongue and then swallow; taste—typical taste notes in whiskey include peaty, floral, woody, fruity and smokey (you’ll note an aftertaste of the whiskey and the length of time it lingers depends on the whiskey); and finally tasting notes—re-cord your experience, by making note of the whiskey name, its age, appear-ance, flavour and aroma.

“Scotch is like friends, the older the better.”

“The older a Scotch is the smoother it tends to be,” said Nichols. “The Scotch is put in barrels, the alcohol reacts with the barrel and you end up with a smoother, rounder taste.”

For more information about the event or for tickets call 250-442-0831.

An upcoming event at the GEM Theatre will engage the community in a dialogue about ways that restorative justice can improve the justice system and strengthen our community.

Boundary Restorative Justice Program (BRJP) is hosting a showing of Part 1 of A Healing River by award-winning Heartspeak Productions of Kaslo, B.C. The viewing will be followed by an open panel discussion with filmmakers Larry Moore and Cathie Douglas, and Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison of the Grand Forks RCMP detachment.

A Healing River presents a collection of pas-sionate voices and heartfelt stories that take you

on a journey through the paradigm shift that some call restorative justice. The film takes a thought-provoking look at the issues of trauma, recovery and the psychological foundations of restorative process.

Heartspeak Productions has been produc-ing educational videos about restorative justice and related topics for over 14 years. In the last two years, they have been recognized with pres-tigious awards for their contributions in crime prevention, academia and corrections.

The event will be on Thursday, Jan. 29 at 7:30 p.m. at the GEM Theatre. Admission is $5, with proceeds going to BRJP. Everyone is encouraged to bring their questions and ideas for improving our justice system.

Watch film, join discussion

Doolie Gogh is the second book by Grand Forks author Steven Ure. Born on the outskirts of Cal-gary, Ure, 28, now calls the Boundary home.

He began writing in his early twenties, while attending the University of Alberta in Edmonton. His first book was a fantasy. He didn’t think it was good enough for traditional pub-lishing, so he sold it to a ghostwrit-ing publisher, to be used however the publisher wanted.

Steven began his own business, Ure Proofreading and Copyediting Services, to help finance his educa-tion. He acquired most of his clients over the Internet, so they are from all over the world, including Aus-tralia, the U.K., Germany, the U.S.A., South Africa and Japan. He also has a few clients in Grand Forks.

Doolie Gogh is steeped in irony, and it plays on the tropes and clichés in super-hero comics and movies. It is an adult novel, but appeals to science fiction fans of any age.

Doolie Gogh is a wild amusement park ride; a roller-coaster of the unbelievable highs of science fiction and the all-too believable lows of corrupt politicians and foreign terrorists, right at home in today’s news headlines.

How in the world did Planet Earth get a su-perhero, anyway? Yes, Doolie Gogh is an honest-to-goodness superhero—one who flies and ev-erything. The explanation of how Doolie Gogh came to this time and place is fascinating and hilarious, evidence of a wild and woolly imagi-nation.

We soon learn that even superheroes need love. And praise. And admiration; even adula-tion. That’s all the reward they really need, and yet, it can be so hard to come by. The citizens of Tantapolis are used to being saved time and again by their hero, and to tell the truth, they’re

feeling a little blasé about him. He does tend to destroy buildings a lot, in

what is known as ‘collateral damage,’ while he captures evil-doers.

The police had been happy with Doolie at the beginning, but the more super-criminals he cap-tured single-handedly, the more police cutbacks

and layoffs the mayor felt she could get away with. Even state and local corrupt politicians con-jured up fake crime statistics, in order to inflate crime rates in the city, and then blame Doolie for at-tracting crime.

Doolie has a brief-but-pas-sionate fling with Tiffany Turner, a reporter whose raw nerve and take-no-prisoners attitude ap-peals to Doolie. Tiff wants to write meaningful journalism, and Doo-lie takes her on as his private pub-licist, making sure she is on the scene at every rescue and writing only positive takes on his exploits.

They break up when Tiff accuses Doolie of want-ing her to be “perfect,” like him.

Eva Byers, a would-be actress who gives new meaning to the phrase “self-absorption,” meets Doolie when he saves her from certain death on her way to an audition. Late as usual, she is swerving down the highway 29 miles over the le-gal limit, when she decides to apply her makeup.

The lipstick went well, but during the combi-nation of mascara application and cell-phone an-swering, Eva somehow loses control of the wheel at a critical moment, goes through the wind-shield, and is going down to meet the pavement when Doolie rescues her. Eva gives airheads a bad name, but there is more to her than meets the eye.

This is just a taste of a delicious and satisfying read, a trip through the imagination of a talented writer, and a great Christmas gift!

Doolie Gogh is available in all major online book stores and at stevenure.com.

Triplets take to the courtHaving a brother or sister close to your age can

sometimes be a blessing and sometimes a curse. You have someone to talk to you and hang

out with possibly, but sibling rivalry can also be a strong force. Sure, some siblings get along fine and even if they quarrel as kids they become clos-er as they become adults.

Imagine having two sisters who are in all the same classes with you at school and on all the same sports teams. For the Henne triplets—Alex-andra, Elizabeth and Victoria—that is their reality.

The trio live at Christina Lake with their par-ents and attend Grand Forks Secondary. They are tall, athletic and very competitive, mostly amongst themselves.

Telling them apart can be a real challenge for teachers, coaches and classmates.

“Some teachers can tell us apart but they get our names confused,” said Elizabeth. “It’s mostly me because I look like either Alexandra or Victo-ria. Last year we had all the same classes but that didn’t work out because we got into fights. This year I don’t have any classes with Alexandra and one with Victoria and they have a couple togeth-er.”

The triplets have managed to put their sibling differences apart to play on both the volleyball and basketball teams this year at GFSS. Most of the arguments, they say, come on the ride home. “Our house can be pretty hectic on a bad day,” said Alexandra.

Victoria said she and her sisters try to work it out. She adds that they enjoy a lot of the same things.

“We like to play sports,” said Victoria. “We re-ally like volleyball and basketball the most.”

The girls have played together on the same sports teams all their lives and are used to it. “It can be fun at times but it can also be frustrating,” said Alexandra. “They’re my sisters and they can be annoying at times. All sisters are annoying.”

“It’s okay,” said Elizabeth. “There is always someone on the team that you know but it’s also painful because you’re always in a rivalry to be the best.”

Elizabeth said the sisters all try to distinguish themselves because people assume they are all the

same and have similar skills.“You always want to try to top each other,” she

added. “We all try to be better than the others.”Victoria said she enjoys playing with her sisters

because she always has a partner.“You can encourage each other and practice

together outside of school but it can be frustrat-ing because you’re competing to be the best,” she said. “If one of your sisters mess up you feel like it gets reflected on yourself because you’re together. But I enjoy it mostly.”

Victoria also says that competing with her sis-ters helps them all improve.

“It helps you out and you can also help out your sister that way and encourage each other to be better,” she said.

The girls say that being together for road trips and away tournaments is good because you al-ways have someone you know around.

“Sometimes we’ll share clothes but not too of-ten,” said Alexandra. “We don’t like being seen as each other (looking alike) in each other’s clothes.”

The girls also enjoy biking, reading, watching TV, hanging out with friends and cooking.

“I do most of the baking,” said Alexandra.“I work harder at school studies and we all like

to read,” said Victoria. “We share books so that makes it much easier. Less books to buy.”

The triplets are playing on the GFSS senior team as Grade 9s and are enjoying the tougher competition.

“It’s going well,” said Elizabeth. “I’m meeting a lot of people and improving my skills and what I can do. At first I thought it would be difficult and frustrating playing with older girls because I’m new at it, but I enjoy it because I’m learning more and I’m improving because I have to keep up with them.”

Alexandra also enjoys playing with seniors. “They can help you with what you’re doing,” she said. “At first I didn’t think I would like it because I thought they would be off doing their own thing.”

The three are busy today (Wednesday) playing with the senior team at a game at J.L. Crowe in Trail. This weekend, the trio plays at a junior tour-nament at Boundary Central Secondary in Mid-way with the GFSS junior-aged players.

After basketball season ends, the sisters are looking forward to joining the Wolves girls rugby team.

Many women steer clear of the free-weight areas inside their gyms, opting instead for treadmills and other cardio machines. Some women may not know how to use weights correctly, while others simply don’t want to add any bulk to their frames.

But research shows that women who adhere to moderate strength-training programs two to three times per week can benefit in a variety of ways.

· Burn more calories: Many people exercise to burn calories and shed fat, and weight training is an efficient way for women to do just that. Resistance training is a great way to burn calories, as after a heavy weight-training session, the body continues to use oxygen, which increases a person’s basal metabolic rate. In addition, as you increase lean muscle mass, your body burns even more calories as its muscles contract and it works to repair and build new muscle.

· Reverse metabolic decline: Lifting weights can help reverse the natural slowing down of metabolism that begins in middle age. Keeping your body working out and your metabolism elevated for as long as possible can help keep you in top shape.

· Build stronger bones: Lifting weights does more than just build muscle. Weightlifting also builds bone density. After menopause,

women may lose up to 20 percent of their bone mass, and the United States Surgeon General estimates that, by

2020, half of all Americans could have weak bones due to bone loss. Women can look to weightlifting to help increase bone density and reduce their risk of fracture and osteoporosis.

· Reduce risk for heart disease: Cardiovascular disease claims the lives of 5.6 million women worldwide each year. Women are more likely to get heart disease than cancer. A study in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning found that women who lift weights are less likely to develop heart disease risk factors, such as large waist circumference, high triglycerides, hypertension, and elevated glucose levels. The American Heart Association lists weight training as a healthy form of exercise for those at risk for heart disease.

· Combat back pain: Weight training can help strengthen the core muscles of the abdomen and back, which may help alleviate lower back pain. It’s important to use proper form when lifting weights to avoid exacerbating existing back pain or developing new injuries.

· Boost mood and combat depression: Lifting weights is not just good for the body, it’s also good for the mind. Women who strength train regularly can improve their feelings of well-being and may be able to reduce episodes of depression. A study from researchers at Harvard University found that 10 weeks of strength training was effective at reducing symptoms of clinical depression.

· Relieve stress: Any form of exercise can help to relieve stress, but according to the 2009 study “Psychological Aspects of Resistance Training,” those who regularly strength train tend to manage stress better and experience fewer adverse reactions to stressful situations than those who do not exercise.

· Increase energy levels: Lifting weights can boost mind power and provide a long-term energy boost. Working out in the morning can be an especially effective way to maintain high energy levels throughout the day.

Women should not shy away from lifting weights. In addition to creating a trimmer, healthier body, resistance training offers many other health benefits.

The benefits of weighlifting for women

Winter superfoodsfor optimal health

Women should not shy away from lifting weights.

Illnesses seem to peak during the winter months. A tapped-out immune system as well as dry, cold air may encourage the spread of common viruses and bacterial infections more easily. As a result, it’s important that men, women and chil-dren take every step possible to ward off sickness when the temperatures drop. Dietary changes can make a world of difference, and more and more people are including these proven superfoods in their winter diets.

· Avocado: Avocado has high levels of essential fatty acids and vitamin B6, which is important in the biosynthesis of important neurotransmitters. Foods high in B vitamins may be able to counteract some of the symptoms of winter-related depres-sion.

· Pomegranate: This quirky fruit has vitamins C and K, folate and potassium and is a good source of fiber. Pomegranate has anti-inflammatory prop-erties, which can help in reducing joint pain and preventing strokes. Pomegranate may also help the body fight viruses.

· Cinnamon: Cinnamon has high levels of anti-oxidants, and some studies point to cinnamon as a natural antibacterial agent. Cinnamon also can

help regulate blood-glucose levels, which is beneficial for those with diabetes.

· Prunes: Now widely referred to as “dried plums,” prunes are an important source of boron, which could prevent osteoporosis. High in antioxidants, prunes help the body fight a variety of illnesses.

· Cabbage: Cabbage may be a key element in the fight against cancer. Cabbage has phytochemi-cals that can protect the body against cancer-caus-ing free radicals. It’s also a good source of dietary fiber, which can stimulate a sluggish digestive system.

· Butternut squash: This food is packed with carotenoids, which are stellar antioxidants. The starches in this squash also have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties.

· Chestnuts: Chestnuts are worthy of inclusion in anyone’s diet. Unlike many nuts, chestnuts are relatively low in fat but have high levels of protein. They’re also packed with vitamin C and B vitamins.

Learn to “heal” to become “healthy”

Lose the pain then lose the weight

In our earlier years, reasons to exercise were based mostly on fun, sports and to attract our ideal mate. As we grow into our mid life, these reasons may begin to fade as we become passionate about our family, home and career. At this point exercise may take last place on our daily task list. We know that we need to do it for our own health and happiness but may not consider the effect it may have on the other people in our lives.

Having the time to exercise on a regular basis is chal-lenging enough when things in our life are going smooth-ly. Unfortunately we are not immune when a crisis strikes in one form or another. Taking care of family members or friends during illness or accidents becomes more fre-quent and takes its toll on our own health. As we age, we usually develop a larger database of people to care for. At midlife, we may have both a grandchild and a grand-mother who needs our attention at the drop of a hat. Re-lationships require strength, endurance and patience. You might as well call it stress management, which is similar to a healthy body that ideally has vast amounts of strength, endurance and patient attitude.

Exercise is proven to help with stress management as long as we are disciplined. If we are disciplined we are confident that we can forego our exercise regime to help others and then get back on track as seamlessly as pos-sible. After a while we know that we can be the “rock” for others and know that our investment into exercise benefits all the people we love.

On the flipside, the last thing we want to be is a bur-den to our friends and family. Being responsible in the efforts to bypass the need for any type of hospitalization is a great strategy to live by. Staying healthy for others keeps you out of the hospital and demands less criti-cal energy from the ones you love. The most common prescription by doctors is exercise, for both physical and mental ailments. Since it’s not usually written and torn from a prescription pad, it’s easily avoided and replaced by the lazier prescription that isn’t as healthy as regular exercise.

So the next time you think of exercising, do it for the other people in your life, no matter how funny you may look or how scared you may be!

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 40 percent of the United States population is now considered obese, while an ad-ditional 34 percent are considered overweight. In Canada, 25 percent of the population is classified as obese and 41 percent are overweight. These figures illustrate a potentially grave future for Canadians and Americans alike, as the consequences of being overweight or obese include diabetes, heart disease and even death.

Obesity can have a very real and lasting impact on individuals and future generations. Here are some health effects that can be the result of carrying around too much weight.Cancer

The National Cancer Institute says each year thousands of new cases of cancer in men and women can be linked to obesity. Some researchers feel that excess fat cells increase hormonal activity, which can lead to tumor growth.High blood pressure

Overweight or obese people have a greater chance of develop-ing high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood push-ing against the walls of the arteries while the heart pumps blood. High blood pressure can weaken the heart over time, causing it to work less efficiently, and may lead to aneurysm, heart failure or stroke.Infertility

As with cancer, the potential correlation between obesity and infertility requires further study. But there is some evidence that points to obesity as a contributing factor to infertility. Overweight women tend to have a harder time getting pregnant, and some researchers feel that is because fatty tissue may cause hormonal changes that impact conception.Type 2 diabetes

When a person has type 2 diabetes, his or her body cannot use insulin properly. Over time, the body cannot make enough insulin to regulate blood sugar level. About 80 to 90 percent of people who are obese also have type 2 diabetes, and it’s believed that be-ing overweight places extra stress on the body’s ability to maintain proper glucose levels in the blood, creating a greater need for

insulin. This can create a vicious cycle, as insulin use itself can lead to weight gain.Osteoarthritis

Overweight individuals frequently develop pain in the joints of their knees, hips and lower backs. The condition occurs as tissue that protects the joints wears away. Extra weight also can wreak havoc on the feet that are forced to bear those extra pounds.Premature birth

A study published in the Journal of the Ameri-can Medical Association found that overweight women are at a greater risk of having a preterm delivery. Too much fat can weaken uterine and cervical membranes.

Trouble sleepingObese and overweight

people can have problems sleeping, says the Ameri-can Sleep Foundation. Obesity can be linked to sleep apnea, a condition in which a person gasps for air or momentarily stops breathing while asleep. This condition can result in frequent interruptions in sleep and an overall poor quality of sleep.

Obesity and overweight can contribute to many health problems, some of

which may come as a surprise to men and women who are carrying extra weight.

Being overweight or obese can contribute to a host of potentially debilitating ailments.

Midgets face challengeTroy Frith (in dark jersey) of the Grand Forks Bruins carries the puck over the Castlegar Rebels blue line in the first period of Friday’s game in the Midget Challenge Cup at the Jack Goddard Memo-rial Arena in Grand Forks. Grand Forks ended up winning the game 6-3 led by a hat-trick from Frith. On Saturday, the Bruins fell 4-3 to eventual tournament champion Salmon Arm. On Saturday afternoon, Grand Forks faced Nelson, winning 6-1 with Levi Weiberg contribut-ing three points. The Midget Bruins faced Castlegar again on Sunday morning in the semi-final. After getting out to a 2-0 lead, however, the Rebs fought back to tie the score in the third. Frith, the Bruins’ cap-tain, scored two goals in three seconds while short-handed to take a two-goal lead in the third. Castlegar battled back once again to score the final three goals for the 7-6 win. The win put Castlegar in the final, where they lost 7-1 to Salmon Arm. Craig Lindsay photo

William Wasyl Demosko� The family of William Wasyl Demoskoff an-

nounces his passing at Menno Hospital (a residential care facility) in Abbotsford, BC on January 8, 2015.

Bill was 100 years old. He was formerly of Grand Forks, BC.

He was born June 13, 1914 in Dolina Lugovoya, a Doukhobor settlement near Pass Creek, BC. In 1918, his family moved to Buchanan, Saskatchewan, where his father farmed.

Bill received his education at schools in Devil’s Lake and Christiania, both near Buchanan.

The family moved to Pelly, SK in 1932 to farm.In 1943, Bill left Saskatchewan to work in the

Alzheimer campaign kicks offNearly three-quarters of Canadians

living with Alzheimer’s disease are women. It’s an eye-opening statistic, but it’s not news to the many Grand Forks families whose lives have been altered by the dementia journey.

“Women represent 72 per cent of Canadians living with Alzheimer’s dis-ease,” says Julie Leffelaar, the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s support and education coordinator for Grand Forks and the West Kootenays.”They could be your mothers, wives, sisters, grandmothers or friends.”

That’s why the society’s annual Al-zheimer Awareness Month campaign in January has adopted the theme The 72%. It aims to inform women in their 40s and older about the warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease and other demen-tias, brain health and how the programs and services of the non-profit Alzheimer

Society of B.C. can help. More women than men are living with Alzheimer’s disease because they live longer and age is a significant risk factor, Leffelaar says. The risk of dementia doubles every five years after age 65.

Women also account for 70 per cent of family caregivers. “The disease takes a tremendous toll on these women who even-tually provide round-the-clock care. The burden is especially high for women raising families and holding down jobs.”

Though women are dis-proportionately affected, “Al-zheimer’s disease and other dementias affect everyone,” Lef-felaar points out.

More than 70,000 people in B.C. face dementia.

The 72% Awareness Month campaign kicks off in January but local families living with dementia can receive assistance

year-round from Leffelaar. She can be contacted at 250-365-6769 (toll-free 1-855-301-6742) or [email protected].

SUBMITTEDto the Grand Forks Gazette

Film features somecharm of Irish comedy

Life’s A Breeze, a film about a family trying to stay afloat and to-gether, though perhaps, somewhat pedestrian at times, does not lack at least some of the characteristic and witty charm of a delightful Irish comedy.

True, it did not score well with the established sites, IMDb or Rot-ten Tomatoes, but it did garner some very supportive reviews and recognition in the form of three awards, mainly the result of good acting.

The adult child relatives of an ec-centric hoarder and retired school teacher Nan (Fionnula Flanagan, (Waking Ned Divine, Secrets of, the Ya Ya Sisterhood, The Others), includ-ing son Colm (Pat Shortt, The Guard), unemployed and a little unambitious and niece Emma (Kelly Thornton, Clean Break, tv series Love/Hate) conspire to clean her house as a birthday present while she is out on a ruse.

Among the items chucked from the home is her old mat-tress, which doubled as her bank, con-

taining in the neighbourhood of a million Euros. What ensues is a Dublin-wide treasure hunt for the mattress before it ends up in the Dublin recycling system. The task is made more challenging upon the announcement of the mistake to the local media by Colm.

This wonderfully lyrical and fun-ny Irish flick won the Galway Film Feadh Best New Talent for Thorn-ton and the Newport Beach Award for Outstanding Achievement in Film Making – Foreign Film.

Life’s A Breeze will be presented by Spotlight Films at the GEM The-atre on Tuesday, Jan. 27 at 7:30 p.m.

Thanks to our patrons and sponsors and to Maureen and Marius Paquet of the GEM Theatre. Thanks also to IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.
