CannaFest bringing top rock talentto town

CannaFest 2015, a two-day festival featuring music from the likes of Prism, the Headpins and Foreigner frontman Lou Gramm is coming to Grand Forks.

At the regular council meeting on Feb. 23, coun-cil voted to support the event after the promoter ad-dressed some of the original concerns from council.

I think it should be noted that originally when Mr. Varabioff presented to us with a request for CannaFest 2015 music festival, it was advertised as an educational event to promote and educate on medical marijuana and have a dispenser on site where they would be sell-ing it, said Coun. Chris Hammett. They have since been refused an application and have come back and said there would be no sales of medical marijuana at the event at all. He has also said there will be no liquor at the event on the grounds.

The letter to council from promoter Chuck Varabioff of the BC Pain Society stated that no marijuana would be sold at the festival. He would not change the name of the festival.

I can live with no marijuana sales, but to change the name would be extremely dif cult as we are try-ing to brand CannaFest into a household name, he wrote.

Varabioff also stated that ticket sales would be capped at 3,000 and that there would be one security guard for every 10 attendees.

Because he has conformed to councils request that nothing illegal will take place and that it will just be a musical and educational eventI make a motion we accept his request and allow him to proceed, said Hammett.

The motion was approved unanimously by council.CAO Doug Allin said that the festival would still

need to satisfy all the requests which the city makes of eld users for special events.

Tickets for the event are already available on the bcpainsociety.com website for $50 for a single day pass and $75 for a two-day pass. Kids 6-12 are $25 for both days; kids under 6 are free. Tickets are also available locally at The Source and Kocomos Coffee House as of this Saturday, March 8.

The show will be held at James Donaldson Park on Aug. 7 and 8 and features Prism, Streetheart, Head-pins, Lou Gramm from Foreigner, Jerry Doucette, Lee Aaron and Franklins Dealers.

Locals rally to save deerSeeing a deer with a bag

stuck to its head with no way to eat or drink, local resi-dent Lorraine Dick knew she couldnt just sit back and ig-nore the poor animal.

Dick rallied her South Ruckle neighbours on Sunday morning (Feb. 22) the best way she couldby posting a pic-ture on the Boundary Neigh-bourhood Watch page on

Facebook and asking for help.The rst posting of the

deer was actually Saturday night, said Dick. Everyone was laughing and going, Oh, itll get it off. But Sunday morning it was still on and thats when we decided wed better do something.

Dick said she was worried that the deer was unable to eat or drink and would even-tually starve.

The plastic bag was shoved on its head so tight it

was like a bathing cap, she said. Shed already gone 12 hours with this thing. She could barely breathe but she obviously couldnt drink. How long can any of us go without water?

Dick said they tried to contact the conservation of cer but couldnt get in touch with anyone. They were then trying to come up with ideas on how to get close enough to re-move the bag.

Colette Orr said, My son can lasso it; lets try,

recalled Dick. Once the group located the

deer again, 14-year-old Ae-zia Orr managed to lasso the panicked ungulate and the group was nally able to take the seed bag off her head.

He took a real honest-to-goodness lassothey own a ranch up by the Bound-ary Museumand he las-soed her, said Dick. Now, of course, she wasnt happy with it.

Freed from the bag, the group had to then remove the lasso, which was another chal-lenge considering how rattled the animal was, said Dick. Once that was done she took off like a shot; I imagine head-ing for the river for a drink of water, said Dick.

What really amazes me is how we were able to rally ev-eryone together over a cause. Thats what I love about this town. Were not apathetic.

The story was picked up by national outlets CBC and the Huf ngton Post. Dick herself was interviewed by CBC.

This poor deer was rescued by a group of concerned Grand Forks residents last weekend.

At the Regional District Office (Beside the arena)

A 10-month project to map out the major trails at Christina Lake culminated with a presentation at the Christina Lake Welcome Centre Thursday.

Close to 70 people came out to see the presen-tation, at which those responsible for the project talked about the final results.

We presented the results of a 10-month proj-ect to digitize and promote the trails at Christina Lake, said Cavan Gates, manager of special projects for the Christina Gateway Community Development Association (CDA). What we did was have a crew go out and collect GPS data, im-ages and videos, and then they wrote down their experiences about the trail. We converted that into a website, blogs on the website, videos on the website, as well as hard copy maps and signs

for the trails. So not only do you know the trails exist but you can figure out what youre going to experience on the trail and how to get there.

The results are expected to be posted online at www.cltrails.info and will be available towards the end of this month. The info will also be able to be accessed from www.christinalake.ca.

Presenting along with Gates were Cherisa Patton, Pierce LeClair, Kim Kinakin and Melissa Shim.

Gates said the project was an important one to not only inform people of what is available for trails at Christina Lake but also how to access them.

We have fabulous trails here and visitors dont know enough about them, he said. We want to really make it in your face: these are our trails, theyre awesome and this is how you can experience them!

Procedure bylawThe bylaw (2011) to amend procedure bylaw

1946 has been referred back to staff after a vote by council during the regular council meeting on Feb. 23.

Coun. Michael Wirischagin made the sugges-tion stating that the bylaw was too vague and not tight enough. The amendment would make it mandatory for councillors to submit written reports after attending any conference over one day in length. Wirischagin also questioned how the rules would be enforced.

The amendment bylaw 2011 was proposed by Coun. Christine Thompson, the only councillor to vote against referring the issue to staff.Electrical utility

Grand Forks residents will have to dig a little deeper next year for their electric bill.

Council gave final reading to the electrical utility regulatory amendment bylaw 2009 at the regular city council meeting on Feb. 23. The amendment will see annual increases of 2.5 per cent, or 3.125 per cent increase for consumption billed beginning March 1. The rate increase was recommended by Alex Love, the citys electrical utility consultant, as it will enable the electrical utility to meet its revenue requirements.

In what could be seen as an attempt to please the anti-water meter crowd, Coun. Mi-chael Wirischagin brought forward a motion to direct staff to prepare a report with differ-ent options to try to satisfy those residents op-posed to water meters. The options could in-clude different billing methods, subsidizing pit meter installs, and offering non-prohibitive flat rates.

Wirischagin brought up the motion at the city council meeting on Feb. 23.

Moving from last meeting to this and now that council has voted on moving forward with the water meter project, I think its per-tinent to move on the right path with trying to fix the divide between the residents of this

community and try to brings things together even further, said Wirischagin when intro-ducing his motion.

Wirischagin added that he would like to see city staff collect data from residents and use that to formulate the report and make recom-mendations to council.

Coun. Hammett asked Wirischagin if that motion would mean residents who had water meters installed but didnt want them could get them uninstalled.

I dont really see that as being an option, he said. But I will leave that up to staff to look at those solutions or options. I would like to see us move forward.

CAO Doug Allin said that staff will put the report forward to council who can then debate the various options and decide on what they would like to do with the information.

City will prepare report on water meter options

Electrical rates on the riseCOUNCIL BRIEFSBy Craig Lindsay

The decision to extend the lease for the Multi-Agency Accommoda-tion Project (MAAP) building and has been put off as Grand Forks City Council agreed to refer the is-sue to staff. Staff is expected to gath-er more information before making another suggestion for council.

Coun. Chris Hammett brought up the motion to refer to staff at the regular meeting on Feb. 23.

I understand the need for the services that are provided and theyre greatly ap-preciated, she said during discus-sion. I dont have a problem with the original lease as it was signed. My concern is that there is a clause that says if that land is sold, the city will give two weeks notice to the tenants before taking it back. I have a concern that if a new build-ing (Habitats ReStore) is created and placed on that adjoining prop-erty, thats a game changer.

Currently, Habitat for Human-itys ReStore building is located on Sagamore Road, but the organiza-tion would eventually like to build on the MAAP property.

MAAP has received a condi-tional offer of $100,000 for the con-tinued development of planned improvements from BC Housing.

In a presentation to council on Feb. 4, Jim Harrison, vice-chair for the Boundary Emergency and Transi-tional Housing Society (BETHS), stated that the lease extension, from the original period of five years to 10 years, was a stipulation from BC Housing.

I think everyone should look at what the city is going to look at in five, 10, 15 years time, said Ham-mett. What do we want to see on that waterfront? Its the only de-velopable land that we have thats commercial, residential.

Hammett said it would be diffi-cult for council in the future to re-

claim the property for development if need be.

I think its an important part that should be included in our de-velopment showcase that we are promoting to encourage investors into the community, she said.

Coun. Christine Thompson agreed with Hammett, stating that once a building was constructed council would be hard pressed to demolish or remove it at that point.

Id like to work with the orga-nization to find a better location for their ReStore centre, she said.

EditorialiNSIGHTyour news view

After some haggling, CannaFest music festival is finally confirmed for Grand Forks. Our little town has plenty to offer, but when it comes to music concerts and festivals, people generally have to travel to Kelowna, Vancouver or Spokane to see big acts.

CannaFest will feature popular 80s rockers such as Headpins, Prism, Street-heart and Lou Gramm of Foreigner. For-eigner had some huge hits in the late 80s and early 90s such as Juke Box Hero, I Want to Know What Love Is and Urgent. In all, For-eigner sold more than 80 million records world-wide.

Meanwhile, Prism had Spaceship Super-star, Streetheart hit it big with Here Comes the Night, and Headpins were well known for Dont it Make You Feel.

Bringing all these acts and more togeth-er for a two-day festival in Grand Forks is quite an accomplishment.

Of course, the raison detre of the festival is to bring awareness to the healing prop-erties of medical marijuana; however, one of the stipulations of being able to have the concert at James Donaldson Park in Grand Forks is that they are NOT allowed to sell any cannabis.

Its hard not to forget the difficulties last summer of Boonstock in Penticton. Al-though much bigger in scope, Boonstock ended up struggling financially as major sponsors pulled out after they were unable to secure a liquor licence. There was also difficulty with adequate security and polic-ing. A Boonstock attendee sadly died of a drug overdose and dozens were treated in hospital for suspected drug overdoses.

These types of concerns werent lost on Grand Forks City Council. It was careful in its considerations of the request for a fes-tival from CannaFest creator Chuck Vara-bioff; however, Varabioff has assured coun-cil and city staff that there will be sufficient security on hand as well as emergency per-sonnel to provide a safe atmosphere.

There will be one security guard for ev-ery 10 attendees, Varabioff promises, and he will need to keep that promise.

It definitely looks like CannaFest will be the party of the year. And it will certainly bring in concert-goers from out of town, which will bring in money from out of town.

HOW TO REACH US

Balmy weather has residents thinking spring

Aside from the odd cold snap, it looks like spring is upon us early this year. Envi-ronment Canada meteorolo-gist Lisa Coldwells confirms that the southern interior re-gion can expect mostly warm-er, dry weather for the next couple of weeks. She said the mild winter has been caused by warm water off the Pacific coast.

Off the coast of British Co-lumbia there has been an ab-normally warm pool of water

and it has sat there all winter, said Coldwells. Since that water and the atmosphere are always interacting, it has caused a broad scale upper ridge to sit over most of B.C. for a good portion of the win-ter. There has been little blips come through with some snow or some colder arctic air come through from Alberta but generally over the whole winter there has been this big upper ridge.

Coldwells said that mov-ing into March, nothing will change very much.

The warm pool of water is off the coast; the broad scale upper ridge is still there, she said. For most of the province youre going to see an exten-sion of the milder tempera-

tures that weve seen.The normal daily tem-

perature for Grand Forks for March is 10 C. Coldwells said that temperatures will be a few degrees warmer this year for the month.

That doesnt mean that that upper ridge cant shift a bit towards the west and allow a brief period of arctic air in, she warned. So I wouldnt say that winter is over. If you look into Alberta there is a lot of cold air just lurking on the other side of the Rocky (Mountains). All it takes is one little shift of the upper ridge and here it comes.

Coldwells said that we can expect more warm, mild tem-peratures for the next week but until that ridge moves out

of harms way, winter isnt quite over and we could still see snow and/or cold tem-peratures.

It could easily still hap-pen, she said. Until we see that cold arctic air move well away from the region than we could say it looks like the end of winter. But until then well enjoy every above normal week we get.

So while we wont be need-ing the sun screen and the beach towels quite yet, it does seem reasonable to put away the snow shovels and winter jackets.

Be sure to get outside and enjoy this beautiful weather. They dont call it the sun-shine valley for nothing.

Opinion

C-51: a loss of freedomsThere has been a great deal in the news over the past few weeks about C-51, the gov-

ernments new Anti-Terrorism Act. It is another one in a series of omnibus bills and con-tains 62 pages covering everything from expanding the mandate of the Canadian Se-curity Intelligence Service (CSIS) to allowing police to seize terrorist propaganda while making it easier to share information between govern-ment departments.

On the surface, it appears fairly clear: we are faced with a terrorist threat. C-51 will make our country a safer place. The reality, however, is not that simplis-tic. I have been monitoring what the mainstream me-dia have been saying about this piece of legislation and have learned that there is a lot of concern about the threat to our rights and freedoms.

As Campbell Clark stated in his Globe and Mail Op-ed: Two things are clear: First the Conservatives think this bill will help them win an election, and second, they dont want people to understand it. Thats a bad combination for a bill that will change things in secret, in ways we wont know for years.

In spite of the fact that the two tragic deaths of Canadian service men were not directly related to a terrorist plot against Canada, the government has justified C-51 using the threat of a Jihadist invasion. If we recall, the individuals who murdered our two soldiers were mentally deranged fanatics with no connection to any international terrorist orga-nization.

Canadians have a right to worry about their safety. It is a duty of a government to address this concern in a responsible manner, and not to play on the fear factor. As NDP leader Tom Mulcair stated, The prime minister is telling Canadians they need to choose between their security and their rightsthat safety and freedom are mutually ex-clusive. Instead of putting forward concrete measures to make Canadians safer and pro-tect freedoms Conservatives have put politics over principle and introduced a bill that is dangerously vague and likely ineffective.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the RCMP had been engaged in illegal disruptive activities. The McDonald Commission was created and CSIS was established to collect and analyze in-formation and produce intelligence about potential national security threats to Canada. Now, with C-51, CSIS will be allowed to engage in this type of activity and do legally what the RCMP had been doing illegally. This should be of great concern to all Canadians

Those of us that recall the War Measures Act of 1970, remember the sweeping powers it gave the police. Hundreds of innocent people were arrested, interrogated and detained as a result. This must not happen ever again.

History, as we know, is full of examples of irresponsible leaders rallying their citizens by exaggerating threats to their security. As a former CSIS officer, Francois Lavigne states, Some of these tactics are taken right out of the fascist playbook. Create an enemy that is hard to identify. Make it an enemy that is nebulous and seems to be able to do things that nobody else can. Dont define the enemy. Just identify. Generate fear around that enemy. Then, send out the message that the only people who can deal with this enemy are us.

The Conservatives have defined the enemy and are ramming legislation through that is supposedly going to protect us. They have limited debate at Second Reading and are only allowing 3 meetings at Committee to hear witnesses. To put this in context, after Sept 11, 2001, the Liberal government held 10 Committee sessions and heard from 80 wit-nesses before passing major anti-terrorism legislation. (I find it hard to understand why the Liberals have given unconditional support to C-51).

I must say that I am proud of my partys principled stand opposing this bill. We believe that C-51:a) Threatens our way of life by asking Canadians to choose between their security and

their freedoms;b) Was not developed in consultation with other parties, all of whom recognize the

real threat of terrorism and support effective, concrete measures to keep Canadians safe;

c) Irresponsibly provides CSIS with a sweeping new mandate without equally in-creasing oversight;

d) Contains definitions that are broad, vague and threaten to lump legitimate dissent together with terrorism; and

e) Does not include the type of concrete, effective measures that have been proven to work, such as working with communities on measures to counter radicalization of youth.

It is my opinion that this ideologically driven piece of legislation is a very real threat to our rights and freedoms.

Letters to the editor

Time to cut administrationEditor, The Gazette:

Re: School board facing money crunchWhat is happening is that govern-

ment is requesting boards to cut admin-istration spending.

It is about time for these admin-spending cuts because over the years they have grown in size in all districts. The money belongs in our classrooms. I have watched this board administration costs from 12 years ago climb from over $300,000 when enrollment was high and we went to a four-day week to now over $800,000 with student enrollment at 1,285.

In our school district financial state-ments for 2013-14 personnel expenses above employee wages including trust-ees and administrators was $217,008.84. The mileage rate is 54 a kilometre, maybe more under the new contract which also ties into trustees raises as well.

Now if you have an ICBC claim and sustained injuries that require you to

travel to different medical appointments you get 25 a kilometre, which has been the going rate over last 15 years. And ICBC is the most lucrative insurance company in North America.

Do we need to belong to British Columbia Trustees Association that has morphed into a politically motivated organization? How does the BCSTA enhance learning outcomes? It is not a compulsory membership and a few districts such as Kootenay 8 have with-drawn from BCSTA.

Its funding comes from student enrollment in each school district, fees calculated on $8,000 per student fund-ing. Can we afford itplus is there any payback?

I believe the money would be better spent on reopening our GFSS cafeteria for our kids rather than put into some political black hole.

Story too beautiful tokeep to myselfEditor, The Gazette:

On Valentines Day, I witnessed a touching display of non-commercialized love.

Halfway through a busy shift with hardly any breaks between customers, a middle-aged couple approached my till. They waited patiently in the line and when their few simple grocery items had been scanned (there were no choco-lates, flowers or cards) they paused before paying.

The woman quietly told me that she and her husband would like to pay for the groceries of the very elderly woman behind them. Thinking that the couple and senior were together, I began scanning the elderly womans cart load of groceries.

While the items were being scanned the couple lingered over bagging their personal groceries. As the elderly woman turned to speak with another custom-er, the middle-aged woman discreetly paid the bill. As the senior turned back to her, she said, Happy Valentines. It seemed nothing more than a simple greet-ing. The elderly woman warmly returned the greeting and turned back to pay as the couple gathered their purchases and left. I was confused as I had thought the three were together but understand-ing dawned.

The elderly lady held out her debit card to pay for the groceries that sat in bags on the belt. Feeling humbled, I told the senior that her bill had already been paid. Tears formed in the womans eyes as realization sank in. The real beauty in this story is that the couple was not seeking praise or a reac-tion; they were blessing a stranger that had no way to pay them back. Isnt this what real love is about?

All Raeside cartoons are stupid

Water rates hit the poorest first

C-51 about sweeping new powers

Debate over, skeptics should cap it

Editor, The Gazette:Two thumbs up for Ben Sorelensen for his let-

ter to the editor of Feb. 25, Appalled at vaccine cartoon.

He is right on all counts: the toxic chemical vaccines, the hype that they are promoted as necessary and the ridiculous cartoon.

All of the Raeside cartoons are stupid, inane and ugly. They always have an edge to them that I find unfunny.

How much does the Gazette pay for them?

Perhaps Grand Forks could give a young or an older person a chance to show some local talent with better art, and less irritating com-ments.

Two thumbs down to the thieves who steal from Whispers of Hope, an organization that strives to put a hand up to those who need it. It gives new meaning to the old saying about bit-ing the hand that feeds you.

Joan Enquist,Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette:Just how water meters are going to pump

success into the city is a mystery for my nar-row mind. Water flows downhill except when it flows uphill to where the money is?

Berating some of the acting council the way it was expressed was a great flexing of literary muscle but I am not sure it was fair. They have worked hard and are honest. We all try our best to our best knowledge.

Some have swimming pools, some water at night, some pee in the river, some let the cows do the job, some fly south in the winter, some burn wood all winter, some drive from store to store, some walk everywhere. There is not a single one of us that does not leave some kind of a mess.

Water is a human right and water rates al-ways hit the poorest first.

Angelica Herlihy,Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette:Bill C-51 is about sweeping new police pow-

ers.Responsible, independent and open over-

sight is required in any legislative, regulatory and practical exercise of new government power. C-51 does not have that.

In 1970 I wrote for The Ubyssey newspaper. RCMP-SIS asked me for information on political dissidents in exchange for money.

I knew the SIS member personally. In the 1960s he boarded at my house. An ordinary con-stable, his bedroom was across from mine. We ate together. He taught me how to tie a Windsor Knot.

When he called on me for SIS five years later I told him that I thought he was on a witch hunt. He said that I needed to know that we had to know who was with us and who wasnt. These were Cold War days.

My response was, Who is us?Following 9-11, Canadian Maher Arar was

flown from the U.S.A. to Syria for torture with a nod from our RCMP. Mr. Arar was innocent and returned home a broken man.

Mr. Arars experience of the tragic screw-ups that plague overly robust policing here and abroad instructed me that I am expendable to protect the almighty us.

Fear mongering and an abundance of police power will lead to excesses. Many accept it. Its about never mind so long as all of the rest of us are safe, secure and comfortable.

In Nazi days, German Pastor Martin Niemller (18921984) put it aptly.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak outbecause I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak outbecause I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak outbecause I was not a Jew.

Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak for me.

Add the environmental activists and politi-cal dissidents to the list and you have the recipe that the Conservative Party of Canada is cook-ing up in Ottawa with Bill C-51.

Write your MP today.Dave Cursons,Cawston, B.C.

Editor, The Gazette:The inside scoop is that Stephen Harper will

have to call an election well before the Oct. 19th scheduled date. Odds are he will be forced to in an attempt to maintain whatever dwindling support he and his party may have.

Indeed, the usual election signals are pretty obvious with the party leaders and various candidates posing for photo ops and extolling the virtues of their respective parties. Party platforms, however, are still being kept under wraps, with the exception of Justin Trudeaus recent announcement.

Trudeau presented the Liberals policy re-garding the so-called carbon tax and the carbon cap. Mr. Trudeaus idea is to allow for the prov-inces to administer these mechanisms according to their own criteria and needs.

While I am pretty sure the average Cana-dian hasnt got a clue what might be a fair or justifiable amount of tax placed on carbon or what is and how a carbon cap works, Trudeaus idea sounds reasonable. There is just one huge problem with this policy: there is no Anthropo-genic Global Warming! In fact, the results from

the data investigated at the last UN-sponsored International Panel on Climate Change bun toss held in Lima, Peru verifies just that.

There has been no discernable increase of global temperatures in the last 15 to 20 years, in spite of increases in CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. Notice the deafening silence com-ing from the warmists.

Our earth does indeed experience climatic change and while there are numerous variables to consider, quite probably the most compel-ling explanation is the cyclical and fluctuating activity of our suns forces on our earth...the less solar activity the colder and more unpredictable weather patterns.

Our sun is indeed entering a period of low activity, known as a grand minimum. In fact, scientists who are not concerned with cooking data to fit their computer projections of global warming have clearly shown that we are enter-ing an interglacial period advancing towards another ice age.

Our earths orbit also comes into play. The tilt of the earths axis and our planets spinning

Scared Silly...

in orbit around our sun in our solar system, which in turn is dancing through our Milky Way galaxy which in turn is tripping the light fantastic through our self-developing, accelerat-ing, expanding universe, it has been postulated, may possibly cause climate change... that this journey will have a many thousands of years cyclical effect on our globes weather.

It is most certain that human reliance on fossil fuels is a major pollution problem and a definite concern for any thinking human being who wishes to create the best possible energy applications for the well-being of our earths citizens and our biosphere.

It is imperative that any human being who ascribes to such ideas, endorse the development of nuclear energy and an international crash program for the development of nuclear fusion. Canadians should not accept any policy that promotes the unnecessary taxation and spend-ing of tax dollars on a lost cause of mitigating natural climatic fluctuations.

The debate is over and the skeptics and deniers of real climate science should do us all a favour and cap it!

Man charged with traffickingAccident on Central

On Feb. 23 at 8:18 a.m., police received a re-port of a collision near 131 Central Avenue.

The report was significant debris including a damaged guard rail near the Granby River Bridge, said Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison of the Grand Forks RCMP detachment. Approximately 8:45 a.m., the driver reported she collided with the guard rail and advised that she had been feeling sick. Apparently, she traveled off the road to her right in her black 2008 Chevy Equinox.

Harrison said that upon attendance, police noted that damage on the guard rail as well as damage to the front right of the vehicle.

It appears the driver made an illegal left hand turn from Riverside Drive onto Central Av-enue, he said. As a result, a charge for making an illegal turn was issued.

The driver was a 69-year-old Grand Forks fe-male.Colin arrested in stolen car with $2K worth of drugs

On Feb. 23 at 6:49 p.m., RCMP received a call of a possible impaired driver.

As a result, police met up with the suspicious vehicle on Central Avenue and it turned out the vehicle was stolen, said Harrison. The truck was stolen in Penticton. The constable arrested

a local Grand Forks male. There was further stolen property in the vehicle including a chain saw and, we believe, other items we seized that we are trying to determine if they were stolen or not, including a very large DJ style sound system complete with amp and large speakers.

Harrison said police also found over $2,000 worth of drugs. The drugs were heroine, cocaine and some methamphetamine.

The person charged was held in custody and remanded until they can appear in court. Charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000, as well as three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, is Darcy Colin, a 40-year-old male from Grand Forks.Break-in at Whispers of Hope

On Feb. 24 at 8:03 a.m., police received a re-port of a break-in at Whispers of Hope.

Apparently, entry was gained through a front window and a certain amount of cash, which was in a safe, was stolen, said Harrison.

Police have several suspects in mind and are continuing to investigate, he added.

Anyone with any information is urged to con-tact Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288.

POLICE BRIEFS By Craig Lindsay

City of Grand Forks manager of opera-tions Roger Huston has left the organization.

We are extremely sad to see Roger go, he was a great addition to the organization, and worked really well with Public Works team and the public. We wish him well in his new position, said Doug Allin, chief administra-tive officer for the city, in a press release.

Huston joined the city in the spring of 2014 and will be furthering his career in the South Okanagan.

Ive really enjoyed my time here in Grand Forks and am grateful for the opportunity to work with such a great group of people. An excellent opportunity came along that I wasnt expecting and I felt that I couldnt turn down, Huston said. His last day with the city will be at the end of March.

The city will be posting for the Manager of Operations position internally, first, which is in keeping with the succession plan the city has implemented.
