RDKB tears down illegal trailers

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) executed a court order to remove a number of illegal trailers from the Granby Road property of Peter Demski on March 28. The RDKB contends that there had been complaints from nearby residents about the trailers, which were brought onto Demski’s property illegally and went against zoning bylaws. The mobile homes were torn down and the debris was taken to the local landfill. “Columbia River Homes was contracted to remove the trailers and they’re working with Boundary Excavating and Boundary Electric to do that work,” said Mark Andison, the RDKB’s director of planning and development. “Boundary Electric has been contracted to shut off the power to the buildings for safety reasons.” While most of the trailers were taken down, there were two additional units that were moved onto the property after the injunction was issued and were not touched. “They (the two trailers) won’t be removed because they haven’t been identified in the court order but we will be consulting with our lawyer to determine what course of action to take with it,” Andison explained.

He also said that there were a number of safety hazards regarding the trailers, including concerns with respects to electrical and sewage – Andison said that it was not known where the sewage was going Demski disagreed with the assessment and said that there are no issues regarding sewage and electrical. “I have a sewer system in place there and they’re all tapped into the same sewer – it was all professionally put in,” Demski explained. “It doesn’t hurt the river; I don’t see any contamination.” Demski also said that he wasn’t happy with the way the RDKB handled his electrical system. “They basically called the safety inspector down there and they disconnected me totally and now it’s going to cost me a lot of money to hook it back up again. “They could’ve just pulled the wires out of the box, because the box that was put in there was put in professionally. All it didn’t have was the cover on it, that’s all.” According to Andison, electricians said that there was an example of unprotected electrical lines servicing a trailer that were lying on the ground, not buried, with the only protection at the point where the two lines were connected being a plastic flower pot overturned on top of the splice. Demski said he was under the impression that he had a year to dispute the Supreme Court ruling while Andi-

son said that he would be contacting the RDKB’s lawyer regarding that, although he hadn’t heard anything as of press time. Regardless, Demski hopes the RDKB doesn’t take action against the two remaining trailers. “I was thinking I could get rid of one of the trailers and I’m allowed one dwelling on my property and I don’t see how they can really say no to the last trailer being there,” Demski said. Andison said that Demski is allowed one dwelling but he already has one that is already designated as such. “He’s got one on the north end of his property that’s been designated under the court order as the ‘one family dwelling’ that he’s permitted to maintain on the property. He’s renting out some form of dwelling further north along Granby Road that is on the same property,” explained the RDKB director of planning and development. Members of Grand Forks RCMP were on hand as the injunction gave them the right to arrest anyone that prevented the order from being carried out but Andison said Demski co-operated with the RDKB. According to Demski, residents that were living in the trailers moved out in December and he doesn’t have any plans to take any legal action. “I can’t really afford to fight this whole thing and I’m kind of tired of it all,” Demski went on to say.

The City of Grand Forks and local RCMP are finally a part of the City Watch program in British Columbia. A collaboration between workers of the City of Grand Forks and the local RCMP detachment, City Watch aims to promote community safety through worker awareness. Grand Forks RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison explained that he was approached a year ago to see if RCMP was willing to work with CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) employees and their City Watch program. “It’s a very similar program to (Citizens on Patrol),” said Harrison. “I joked in the meeting room where we were discussing how it would work, is that the last thing I want to see is one of the city workers chasing somebody down the road. They’re not vigilantes. They observe and they report.” CUPE BC Vice-President Ian Norton noted City Watch is an extra set of eyes that are connected directly to dispatch. “It actually started in Richmond, B.C. and took off from there,” Norton stated. “It fell off the wayside for a while but now it’s come back strong, and more and more communities have become involved in it.” In Grand Forks, Norton stated there are 28 extra eyes that will be looking around. Harrison agreed. “The big beauty of it is that the workers are out in our community,” he said. “They’re out there during the day time and they know the community and they know when something looks suspicious or something looks strange. For the most part, most of the CUPE members live in our town, so there’s a sense of ownership there as well.”

News tips

Mike Noseworthy, facilities co-ordinator at the Grand Forks City Yard and president of CUPE Local 4728, said, “It’s a CUPE program and we’re all CUPE members. It’s been about a year now since we’ve started it and we are the 30th community in the province that has started it.” After undergoing some training with RCMP a month ago, they were informed of what they were and were not able to do. “I hope (City Watch) helps prevent people from doing things, rather than actually catching people in the act,” Noseworthy stated. “It’s not just the cop cars that they have to look out for now, it’s 20 city vehicles that are out there at any time. The police service is limited so since we’re out there every day anyways it helps.” The success of the program has already shown. Prior to the official launch of City Watch, a city worker noticed a break-and-enter at a resident’s home behind Tastie Treat. “The great part was that the CUPE member was operating a sidewalk cleaner and watched our suspect run away and he told us exactly where he was,” recalled Harrison. “He told us that he was wearing a black hoodie, black pants and he was holding a backpack. None of the other witnesses told us about the backpack but we caught him a block away and he didn’t have a backpack.” After searching for the backpack, Harrison noticed a red backpack sitting on someone’s driveway. “I went and asked the owner of the house if this was their backpack and he said it wasn’t his,” said Harrison. “The backpack was full of stolen copper wires. This is a perfect example of how this works.”

❚ HOTEL FIRES

In hotel fire aftermath, training sessions planned CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Nearly a month after the Grand Forks Hotel burnt down and the Winnipeg Hotel was damaged, Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison and Fire Rescue Chief Dale Heriot debriefed over the fire and were happy with their response time and how they tackled the fire. “We both came to the conclusion that everything went very smoothly,” stated Grand Forks RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. “I was extremely impressed by our fire department, given the intensity of the blaze at the Grand Forks Hotel and the fact that they were able to protect the adjoining structures from exposure to the fire. Our fire department is something to be proud of. Our guys are good.” “There were no big hiccups throughout either of the fires that we had going on and communication was quite good,” stated Heriot, “We had the highway shut down and the utilities did the necessary cuts.” The Grand Forks Fire Rescue was also assisted by the Christina Lake Fire Department. However, Harrison noted that under the Provincial Emergency Program, the community hasn’t had an emergency practice exercise since Harrison arrived four years ago. “I have been in touch with the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary’s emergency co-ordinator and we are talking about putting together a tabletop exercise with all the agencies that we would be calling upon in a community emergency,” he explained. “It should be done on an annual basis.” The city emergency plan and building contracts would need to be updated, along with renewing the contact lists. The emergency practice exercise, involving various agencies including city works and Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (who would redirect traffic) could also be involved in a practice exercise. “If we were going to do an exercise, it would be realistic and do an assessment of what the major hazards would be in the community,” Harrison explained. “We would design a scenario and get all the agencies that would be involved if there were a disaster. It’s a case of emergency preparedness and how we activate all the agencies to get involved to work together and keep our community safe.” The scenario could be a flooding, a fire, an exposure, or a transportation disaster. Heriot concluded, “We get events like this and it identifies the need to have constant communication and do some of these exercises in the event that we do get a bigger emergency than we expected to see.”

❚ Our View

2016 too late for MP pension reform It’s not easy preparing a budget regardless if you’re a politician or a lay person and if you have any doubts about that, ask any member of Grand Forks city council. In the case of municipal and federal government, you have many things and groups to take into consideration and you will likely be criticized about your decisions regardless – damned if you don’t and damned if you do. The Canadian federal budget was released last week and as usual, there is debate as to whether it is good or bad. From a local standpoint, merchants in Grand Forks and area will likely not be happy with the fact that Canadians will be able to spend more across the border as tax exemptions have increased – from $50 to $200 for trips of 24 to 48 hours and from $400 to $800 for two to seven day trips just to name a few. While some were fretting about the raising of the ages for Old Age Security (OAS) earlier in the year, people who are 54 years old currently will not be affected – people under 50 will see the age raised to 67, however. One area worth scrutinizing is pensions for MPs, which was untouched by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty in this year’s budget. The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation (CTF) has estimated that the ratio to which MPs contribute to the pension plan as opposed to the average Canadian is $1 per $23, what’s good for the goose isn’t necessarily good for the gander it seems. Furthermore, while Canadians under 50 are expected to work longer before OAS, MPs can still hang ‘em up at age 55, after six years of service, says the CTF. Flaherty and PM Stephen Harper have suggested that MP pension reform could be on the way and a Globe and Mail report suggests there could be an increase in 2013 – the report says the ratio could increase to 50-50 by the year 2016. A noble thought but in the meantime the ratio continues to be disproportionate and there are no guarantees that if the Conservatives introduce the suggested reforms, they will take effect – the next federal election is scheduled for 2015 and whether the Harper government sees another four years remains to be seen. A lot can happen in four years. MP pension reform must come sooner than later. If the Canadian public is expected to contribute its fair share to pension, so should politicians.

History repeating with London games I saw my 2010 Winter Olympic DVD collection laying about and decided to re-live the Vancouver games. Mind you, knowing exactly when Sidney Crosby scores for the Canadian men’s hockey team in the gold medal game and knowing that Cheryl Bernard and rink will have to settle for silver in women’s curling takes a lot of the frantic excitement away. The 2010 Olympics weren’t all fun though as people in Vancouver will tell you – the Olympic Village is something people continue to pay (or not pay) for depending on your point of view. A number of the condos have not been sold. But my 2010 nostalgia reminded me of something else. The 2012 Summer Olympics will take place in London, England and reading the London newspapers, I can’t help but see similarities. Citing a British parliamentary watch dog, a March 9 story from

❚ Yu Speak

KARL YU

the guardian.co.uk reports that the 2012 games’ overall cost currently sits at £11 billion while the security costs have doubled. Security was a big issue in the lead up to the Vancouver games and according to reports, the initial cost estimate was about $175 million. However, a news release from the federal government dated February 2009 said that the security budget would come in at an estimated $900 million. Guess what one of the concerns of the London games is? London’s Olympic organizing committee Locog (the equivalent of Vanoc) had estimated that the number of security guards for

the numerous Olympic facilities and surrounding areas would be around 10,000 but the report says that the British government made an announcement in December that the number of security guards was twice as much, at 23,700. Costs for security in the 2012 Olympic budget also were said to have increased from £282 million to £553 million in the span of a year. Security is important and unlike Vancouver, London has been the victim of terrorist attacks in the past (2005) so ensuring that it doesn’t happen again, particularly at the games, is very important. Many more people will be in London to watch the summer games. If a city does get an Olympic games, it might be useful for organizing committees to overestimate initially as opposed to underestimating. Go high and hope that it goes low.

LETTERS ❚ FORESTRY

❚ HOTEL FIRE

Regarding Fires a community blessing? forests Editor:

Open letter to Greenwood, Midway and Grand Forks: The Boundary Woodlot Association (BWA) submits our response to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations offer, to award a Community Forest License (CFL) to the Village of Midway and City of Greenwood as part of the consultation and review process due April 5. 1) The BWA recognizes and agrees that local control of forest tenure in the form of woodlots and community forests is paramount for our communities to survive and prosper by providing jobs while creating a culture for our younger generations to remain in our communities. 2) Further, we recognize that forests are a finite and renewable resource. 3) Whereas, with planned reductions in annual allowable cuts province-wide, and the cyclical nature of markets, our local forest economy will always be in a position of risk. 4) It is the BWA’s opinion that the best way to spread this risk around and employ the maximum number of people in our communities is that the BC Timber Sales (BCTS) volume allocation, in excess of the Provincial Forest Revitalization Strategy, be made available to woodlots and community forests. However, the BWA does not agree on the CFL location, nor the apportionment of the present offer for the proposed CFL for the following reasons: a) The BWA had a longstanding agreement with Midway and Greenwood (and Grand Forks who did turn down one offer in 2009) to work together for a combination of woodlots and CFLs. b) Further, that lands encompassing the Phoenix et al., would be reserved for woodlots and CFL volume would be designated elsewhere. c) Further, when volume was awarded to CFLs, meaningful volumes would be awarded to woodlots. In summary, the BWA encourages administrators of Midway and Greenwood to refuse this offer based on location and strongly request a larger area and annual allowable cut that does not conflict with the BWA’s longterm interest in the Phoenix Forest area et al. If all regions of the Boundary work together on these issues, then our communities will be the better for it. George Dore, President, Boundary Woodlot Association

Re: Fire destroys Grand Forks Hotel (story in the March 14 issue of the Grand Forks Gazette) Gazette) In regards to the hotel fires, thank goodness no one was injured! It is a sad day to lose a historical building, true, but not those that pose concern and might be overlooked by health and building inspectors due to historical relevance. I worked in both buildings and thought they were potentially dangerous to the general public. Although they may have been culturally symbolic and have cherished memories for the community, one needs be realistic. I believe they were a hazard, an accident waiting to happen. I am glad at least one is gone. It would appear the only time Grand Forks gets a safe building is when one burns down. How many other messes are in town whose electrical, plumbing and foundations are hazardous and grandfathered. I wonder? I love Grand Forks and miss it dearly but it is a little town lost in time. It is incidents such as these that ensure progression, revitalization and forward momentum, regardless of the community’s desire. Thank God for the law of impermanence. I am sorry to those who may have lost possessions in the fire and the few jobs that will be lost, however, that is a small price to pay. On any given day, it could have been someone’s life – perhaps a tourist’s life. Then all hell would break out and you would nod your head in agreement. You would be forced to. It’s the tourists that keep that community alive and I would argue, they don’t mind where they eat their borscht; unless it is a building that feels and appears dingy and unsafe. Kelly Little, Duncan, B.C.

❚ COMMUNITY

Gramercy G.F. Editor: I am writing to express my gratitude to the people that went out of their way to help me, a complete stranger, as a result of an accident that I suffered on March 4. The story is long and involved but suffice to say, I arrived here in Grand Forks on Feb. 29 in order to take up a position as a pet/house sitter for a six-week period.

❚ OPINION On day four, I decided to take the dog for a walk up the hill behind the house and enjoy the view looking west over the Granby River. At the beginning of the descent, I tripped on a rock and proceeded to tumble down the slope and in the process break my right leg in five places. After struggling to get home to the phone, I called my neighbours (Greg and Leigh Starchuk) who came over immediately to help a total stranger in much distress. They continue to help me to this day. Greg drove me straight to the emergency room here in Grand Forks, where I was descended upon by a whole host of professional and very caring people in order to assist me in what was a very stressful day in my life. There were so many kind souls helping me that day that are too numerous to mention here; however, I am sure if they read this, they will know who they are, and to all of them, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Other people I must take the time to thank are Dorothy Blumenschein as well as her son David from Trail and Tim from Calgary, who have all helped me get through this in more ways than any of them can imagine. And finally a thank you to Bill and Darlene from Midway, who did some substitute house sitting for me while I was being operated on in Trail. The pets and I thank you as well. The people of Grand Forks are very fortunate indeed to have so many compassionate souls living in their community. Paul Marcotte, Grand Forks

❚ BARGAINING

No raises Editor: With regards to the government employees on strike, or planning to strike for higher wages and more benefits plus more and more of everything imaginable, I would just like to remind them that this money does not come out of the government nor out of the union’s pockets. Rather, it comes out of the public’s pockets whether we use the services or not. In many cases, we will have to mortgage our homes to pay for our taxes that pay your wages. No other industry can operate in this manner and Pope & Talbot is a good example of the injustice of our tax system where hundreds, if not thousands, lost their jobs and the government lost all the tax they collected from their employees. Where did all this tax money go? Once we have lost our homes and live on the street, you can all look at your paycheque and see what you have accomplished. Vern Rexin, Rock Creek

Library needs to have a reality check When is it appropriate for a public service institution that is funded by the taxpayers to determine the value of its services to its patrons? The time appears to have ROY RONAGHAN arrived for the Board of Trustees of the Grand Forks Public Library Association (GFPLA) and the director of the Grand Forks and District Public Library to do an in-depth reality check on library services for Areas C and D and the City of Grand Forks. The recent request from the board for an increase of nearly 18 per cent in operating funds from the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) was a signal that there is a need to determine the needs and wants of its patrons. Is the library providing the right services for the demographic being served? Are the services meeting the needs of a sufficient number of library users to make their continuation cost effective? Are there services that are being neglected? Is the mission of the library still relevant? The 2012 budget request was prepared without membership input and without a region-wide needs survey. Work on the 2013 budget will begin in October, so there is plenty of time to survey patrons and the public at large. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain from finding out what’s working well for library customers and what should be changed or eliminated. The Vancouver public library system is presently surveying its users with a program called Free-for-all: Re-imagining your library. Community input is being sought about the future services provided by libraries around Vancouver. Users can attend meetings or give feedback by completing a survey, perhaps both. Powell River, B.C. is now holding public meetings to get input on the design of a new library for the community. Kimberley Public Library is asking its patrons how it might continue to improve and strengthen its community presence. Libraries in other B.C. communities must be doing the same. The time is right for the GFPLA to initiate a re-imagining program for the Grand Forks and District Public Library (GFDPL). Taxpayers who attended RDKB town hall meetings in Grand Forks and Christina Lake in February received proposed 2012 budget figures and learned that the GFDPL was asking for an increase in funding of $52,098, or nearly 18 per cent more than the amount provided in 2011. The figure was reduced to $40,000 (a 14 per cent increase) by the board of directors at a meeting on March 30. The present funding formula for the library was determined by referendum well over a decade ago. Perhaps it is also time to revisit the funding bylaw. Cost sharing for the regional library service is pro-rated, based on the assessed values of properties as determined by the BC Assessment Authority. In 2011, taxpayers in Area C paid $117,693.00 (40.2 per cent) while those in Area D paid $75,095 (25.7 per cent). Taxpayers in the city paid $99,695.00 (34.1 per cent). The fact that taxpayers in Area C pay the greater portion of the funding is bothersome to many property owners. Many do not live in the area full time. Many full-time residents don’t use the library and some of those who do would prefer a “user pay” arrangement. In June 2011, a satellite library service for one day per week was established in The Village at Christina Lake. The service will be evaluated in June 2012 and it is understood that a decision will be made on its future. The demographics of the East Boundary have changed considerably in the past couple decades. What impact have those changes had on library services? Without conducting a comprehensive survey how can the GFPLA board of trustees determine what the most cost effective essential services will be? – Roy Ronaghan is a columnist for the Grand Forks Gazette.

❚ CITY COUNCIL

Council forges ahead with financial plan KARL YU Gazette Editor

Grand Forks city council continues to push forward with passage of the 201216 five-year financial plan, giving the first three readings of a related bylaw at Monday’s council meeting. But while Bylaw 1928 – the City of Grand Forks 2012-16 financial plan only requires final reading now, there could be some amendments made between now and when it is passed. As of Monday’s meeting, the plan did not include a $22,500 funding request from Phoenix Ski Hill, $10,000 from the Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce, $3,500 from the Kettle River Festival of the Arts, $3,000 from the local air cadet squadron, $500 from the Grand Forks Auxiliary to Boundary Hospital, $10,000 from the GFI baseball tournament organizing committee, $15,000 from the BETHS cold weather shelter, $3,000 for Boundary Youth Soccer, $6,000 from the Boundary Women’s Resource Centre, $10,000 from Whispers of Hope and $640 from Boundary Restorative Justice. “This does not include the items which are still on the table, not resolved, and waiting for further information for council on regional (district) participation,” explained Mayor Brian Taylor.

The current form of the five-year plan also had $10,000 set aside for preventative maintenance to the scout hall on 72nd Avenue, which would include repairs to the exterior, and Coun. Michael Wirischagin thought it was money that could be used elsewhere. He put forward a motion to have the item removed, with Coun. Neil Krog seconding. Wirischagin thought it was more of a want than a need but Coun. Gary Smith thought it should remain. “I feel that it’s important to maintain our assets. (The scout hall) is just going to further deteriorate and become of less and less use,” explained Smith. “It’s like any building; you see them all over, dilapidated buildings that aren’t falling apart but just falling into disrepair. Maybe the estimate is a bit high but it’s just a budget.” “I understand what Coun. Smith is saying, however, regardless if $10,000 is high or if it’s low, the fact is we’re still taxing for it,” Wirischagin said. “I think if we were going to do work on any city building, it should come from a different budget, whether it’s operations or city works, because the city works building itself needs a paint job.” City Chief Financial Officer Cecile Arnott reiterated that it was preventative maintenance and said that if funding was taken out of the surplus fund

today, the city would have to tax for it tomorrow. While Krog seconded the motion, he saw value if the maintenance included adding siding to the hall, as it would prolong the building’s life as opposed to just painting. The motion was defeated and Bylaw 1928 passed three readings with Wirischagin the lone dissenting voice in each one. The five-year financial plan has to pass final reading before becoming law and that is scheduled for next council meeting on April 16. In other council-related news, Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison gave a presentation to council at Monday’s meeting relating to the 2012 Report on Policing for the Boundary Detachment. There were no homicides in the city in 2011 and there were significant drops in crime. Between 2010 and 2011, assaults decreased from 56 to 41, sexual assaults decreased from 13 to five, total breakand-enters dropped from 46 to 36, while willful damage went from 123 to 105. Also making a presentation was Lisa Fichtenberg of Whispers of Hope. As mentioned earlier, Whispers of Hope requested $10,000 and is in danger of closing.

IHA meeting still on track for May CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Interior Health Authority (IHA) will be coming to Grand Forks on May 23 after much delay due to weather concerns. “All I know is that they’re going to be in Grand Forks on May 23,” explained former councillor and chair of the local Concerned Citizens for Community Health Care group Christine Thompson. “I did send an email to Jamie Raymond, who is an assistant to Dr. Robert Halpenny and he said they haven’t set the agenda yet.” According to an email by Karl Hardt, the communications officer for IHA, “The CEO (Halpenny) and Board Chair (Norman Embree) are still planning to visit Grand Forks on May 23.” Thompson stated that there are several questions about the operational decisions in financing that the community would like to ask. “I’m not sure what time they’ll be here to meet with us, because they are also here to meet with the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Health Board,” she added. “Our concerns relate to the operational spending and decision making.” During the meeting, Thompson hopes there will be a question and answer period that will be open to everybody. The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary has booked the Senior Hall at City Park from 3 p.m. until 9 p.m. on May 23.

NEWS ❚ FUNDING

Grand Forks denied recreation fund CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

The City of Grand Forks was denied funding from the Community Recreation Program to upgrade Dick Bartlett Park. City staff had originally proposed to include a green gym, a water park and a walking/bike path route to the park in an application. “It met all the criteria, but we didn’t get the grant,” stated Lynne Burch, chief administrative officer for the city. “This was a one-time grant, so unless they find more money or make a different grant (we won’t be receiving anything).” The Community Recreation Program was announced by the province at the end of last October. According to the Government of B.C. website, the $30-million Community Recreation Program was created to “address the unique challenges faced by communities in the province with respect to meeting their recreational infrastructure needs. The program will invest in local government capital projects that make communities healthier, more active places in which to live.” There would be a cost sharing

formula, which would see the provincial government contribute 80 per cent to a maximum of $400,000 for recreational infrastructure in support of healthier families. “Unfortunately we didn’t get the funding and it was a real disappointment,” stated Coun. Gary Smith. “I know staff had spent a lot of time working on that and they put a really good package together. Council was very impressed with all the work they had done with it.” Smith pointed out that the decision “came as quite a blow because it would have been a great thing for our community. It’s sad that we didn’t get funding to update the park.” Burch added, “It is good that Greenwood and Midway received some grant funds.” Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Area C - Christina Lake’s proposal was also denied funding. The Village of Midway will receive $400,000 from the Community Recreation Program to expand and upgrade the Midway Arena, while the City of Greenwood will also receive $263,000 to upgrade the existing ball field into a multi-purpose playing field.

Rodney Matkovich, 51, was arrested, taken to court and released on bail by the judge on conditions, including a curfew on March 30. On Saturday, March 31, police encountered Matkovich out past his curfew and arrested him for breaching his bail conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was remanded into custody and will appear the same judge in Nelson Provincial Court on (April 30),â&#x20AC;? stated Harrison. For more information on the City Watch program, see page 3.

Vehicle hits crossing deer At 4:30 p.m. on April 1, a 64-year-old female driver from Greenwood was heading westbound near Spencer Road and Highway 3 when a group of deer jumped out in front of her vehicle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, she hit the deer head on and did $1,000 of damage to her vehicle,â&#x20AC;? said Harrison. The vehicle was inoperable and had to be towed away, though there were no human injuries. The deer did not make it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People should be cautious in this area. We have five, and sometimes up to 10, deer strikes within the Boundary region every week,â&#x20AC;? warned Harrison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From Beaverdell to Christina Lake, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big problem and people should be very cautious.â&#x20AC;? Truck swerves to avoid moose A 31-year-old female driver from Rossland swerved to miss a moose on Highway 3, 15 kilometres west of Grand Forks, on April 2 at 5:10 a.m. The Gordon Food Services truck was towing two trailers and hit the rock face. Both trailers were damaged but there were no injuries and the moose escaped unharmed.

City, New Denver ask federal govâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for help with wildlife CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

The Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Governments (AKBLG) has proposed an amalgamated resolution in regards to the Wildlife Conflict for both the City of Grand Forks and New Denver. The Wildlife Conflict (B.C. Conservation Service Capacity), as proposed by both the city and New Denver, seek endorsement from the AKBLG during its annual general meeting in Trail on Wednesday, April 18. The resolution asks for the provincial government to establish a Provincial Wildlife Management Plan because the municipalities are unable to appropriately respond to wildlife contact. Coun. Cher Wyers explained that since Grand Forks and New Denver have similar Wildlife Conflicts, AKBLG asked if the two could be amalgamated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ours is primarily deer, and theirs is bear, but wildlife is wildlife,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing an increase in the different types of wildlife that are coming into residential areas.â&#x20AC;?

Coun. Gary Smith added there would be experts in attendance that will discuss urban wildlife issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope that this will allow people to discuss ideas to resolve those issues,â&#x20AC;? said Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;AKBLG, as the group of local governments, is trying to petition the government to do something with conservation and the wildlife management plan because there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one.â&#x20AC;? During the AKBLG meeting, along with other resolutions, there will be a broad spectrum of speakers. Smith added that one of the speakers would be local Jenny Coleshill of the Granby Wilderness Society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She will be giving the presentation: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grand Forks: A deer town with a people problem,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. Smith hopes to bring back information from the meeting for the Grand Forks Deer Committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something the community wants done so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pushing for it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully the information I bring back from the Wildlife forum will help to seek a resolution.â&#x20AC;?

Local groups hold Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder youth essay contest CYNTHIA GARNETT Baby’s Best Chance

Y-SHIFT (Youth Advisory Committee of the Phoenix Foundation) and the youth peer mentors of the Baby’s Best Chance program at the Glanville Centre are putting on a youth essay writing contest to create awareness on FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder). FASD is a disorder that is caused by a mother consuming alcohol while she is pregnant. When a mother consumes any amount of alcohol while pregnant, she is putting her child at risk. It is very important that we not only make youth, but everybody aware of the impacts of consuming alcohol during pregnancy. The youth peer mentors wrote a grant application to Y-SHIFT requesting financial support for the project and were granted $500. This money will be used for prizes and other

funds from Boundary Family and Individual Services Society (BFISS) will be used for honorariums for the youth organizing the project and other project costs. By making people aware of this disorder and its effects, the youth are hoping to decrease the percentage of FASD-affected babies born to Boundary mothers. Winning essays will be published in the Grand Forks Gazette and other Boundary area media outlets. Each winner will receive a cash prize of $150. The winning essays will be divided into age categories of 13 to 15, 16 to 20, and 21 to 29 years. Essays must be a maximum of 400 words and they can be dropped off at the Glanville Centre (1200 Central Ave., Grand Forks) or emailed to cynthia.garnett@bfiss.org by April 30. For more information please contact Cynthia Garnett at 250-442-5355 (local 123).

Local singer wins Merritt music festival contest CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Local singer Amanda Thate will open on the big stage at the 2012 Merritt Mountain Music Festival on July 19. Thate received the most votes out of five contestants during a fans’ choice online voting contest via Facebook. “I feel so grateful and excited,” exclaimed Thate. “We think there were close to 1,000 people who voted for me and I’m not sure where they all came from.” It was not too long ago when Thate, at 13, attended the Merritt Mountain Music Festival to watch her hero, Reba McEntire. “It was pretty much because I wanted to see Reba McEntire. I was just star-struck and amazed by it,” said Thate. Thate and her sister Brook drew up two big cards and letters with pictures, and stood backstage with their father all day trying to meet up with the country superstar. “When security guards got to know us pretty well,” laughed Thate. “This one security told us we couldn’t meet up with her in person but he said he’d give her the cards in person because she was really busy.” Six months later, Thate recalled how her mom picked her and her sister up from school and told them they’d never believe what came in the mail. There were two letters in the mail, one addressed for Amanda and one for Brook. “We opened it up and it was handwritten,” she said. “She wrote us each the nicest letter and said how much she enjoyed the cards. Now, years later, instead of being in the crowd I’ll be on stage. Who would have thought?” Monica Thate, Amanda’s mother, said, “We’re just really proud of Amanda and thrilled for her because we know this is her dream and we’re

happy to support her.” Thate was running against the Tequila Cowboys, Steve Rivers, Coal Creek Boys and Alee! Along with family, friends and her fans, Thate would like to thank the Coal Creek Boys for their support after they left the message: “Us Alberta boys are up the creek and we just want to hand over our votes to Miss Amanda.” “The votes can’t be handed over of course but just the support from them was really sweet,” Thate noted. Thate will be opening for Gord Bamford in Cranbrook on May 23 and the following night in Trail on May 24. On July 6, she will be opening for Doc Walker in Kelowna. The Merritt Mountain Music Festival is from July 19-22.

YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A

❚ Crafty Corner

I’m quite sure that at some point in our childhood, we were exposed to chalk. My experiences started with the teacher askDARLAINEA ing me to write lines, REDLACK “I will spell my words right.” Then came the coloured chalk and I got to do my lines in pretty colours. Now they have chalk in little squares to dust on paper with a soft brush, as well as giant pencil-shaped sidewalk chalk that kids colour driveways with. I have a large container full of pretty colours: pink, blue, green, yellow etc., so I got to thinking what could I do with it? I decided what colours would go nicely together and started to play. I tried working on cardstock but decided the watercolour paper was the way to go, as after I scribbled colour all over the

paper, I dipped my finger in some water and swiped it across the paper. It took a few times but eventually got it just right. Then I got the idea that after the paper dried, I could stamp on it. I started a new paper and used some colours I thought would give the idea of a sunset, and did another with yellow, pink and purple. I smeared them all with water (the best part) and left them to dry. As you can see I stamped one with a tree and one a butterfly. I love the solitude of the tree. I think if it could speak it would say, “I am strong, watch me grow!” The butterfly on the other hand, is delicate and soft. I was quite surprised with how with a little more or less water, the different look that was acquired. I trimmed and glued and taped until I had a couple of cards. I then made my friend a bookmark only I have forgotten that she now has an iPad. Oh well. – Darlainea Redlack has taught a variety of crafting courses across the Boundary and is circulation co-ordinator for the Grand Forks Gazette.

❚ CHARITY

Politicians and others raising money for fire victims CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

A benefit concert will be held at the Grand Forks Curling Arena to raise money for the victims of the Grand Forks Hotel on April 15. Organized by Coun. Gary Smith, Mayor Brian Taylor and resident Tim Bleiler, the benefit concert admission is $10 at the door and will run from 4 to 9 p.m. “The curling rink has donated the space and they’re going to run the

bar,” explained Smith. “We’re going to charge $10 at the door and every penny of that will go to the CIBC trust account.” There will be four to five local bands that will each perform an hour set. “This will give the community the chance to support residents of this unfortunate incident,” stated Smith. “It’ll be down on the curling rink floor so there will be lots of room to dance and have some fun.” After hearing about the idea from Taylor, Smith spoke to the curling rink,

while Bleiler is focusing on getting the bands together. Resident Les Johnson has also created memorabilia cups with pictures of the Grand Forks Hotel on it to raise funds for the trust account. Johnson pointed out that he had been speaking to Bill Wilby of Contact Photo Arts when he noticed the cups they had on display. “I had just heard about CIBC opening a trust fund for the Grand Forks Hotel victims,” he stated. “I was looking at these cups and thought, ‘We have photos of the hotels,

so maybe we could do something.’” After explaining his idea to Wilby, Johnson went to city hall to check out the archives. With the agreement from the Boundary Museum Society to use the photographs, Johnson went ahead with creating the cup. “It was a collaborative effort,” Johnson said. “The cups are $15 and all profits (roughly $7) will be given to the trust fund.” The cups can be purchased at Value Drug Mart, Select Office Products, and

the Gallery 2 gift shop. Along with entry donations, Smith is hoping that Les Johnson would like to sell memorabilia cups he and a few others have created. With funds from the benefit concert and cups going to the trust account, Daniel Chiu, a Port Coquitlam, B.C. resident who has organized several community events such as the senior’s Thanksgiving lunch, is also challenging Grand Forks residents by donating $500. “I’ve done some fundraising before where I

come up with the money and I leave it in charge with someone else. I try to create the momentum for people to donate by challenging me and match my donation,” he explained. “I’ve done this several times before and it works because when I speak to people they tell me they want to do something.” Though he plans to donate the funds to the trust account, he hopes this initiative will spur a momentum. Chiu plans to continue the challenge until the benefit concert on April 15.

Final salute to The Sopranos & Co.

April flowers Volunteers Jessi Lindsay and Ursula Glas were selling yellow daffodil bunches for $5 last week in support of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Daffodil Month in April.

The Sopranos & Co. youth choir will be performing its last songs to audiences at the Grand Forks Choral Society’s All You Need Is Love concerts on April 28 and 29.

The Sopranos & Co., our community youth choir, will be singing their last songs to Grand Forks audiences at the Grand Forks Choral Society’s All You Need is Love spring concerts scheduled April 28 and 29 at Grand Forks Secondary School auditorium. As its finale also marks its 10th anniversary, expect to hear The Sopranos & Co. recapitulate some of its favourite concert numbers from those years – the South African Siyahamba, the Appalachian Down to the River to Pray, and a dynamic medley of songs from the musical Les Miserables. Special guests will be choir alumni, who have been invited to participate in the performance. Founding and current director, Joan Thompson, who has had a 35-year career directing youth choirs, looks back with pride at the work and accomplishments of the 100 young singers that have contributed to the team efforts of The Sopranos & Co. over the past decade. Founded in 2002 to give musically-minded youth an opportunity to explore a broad range of music, gain knowledge and confidence as a singer and enjoy the endorphin-releasing activity of making music with ones’ peers, the group quickly won enthusiastic fans in the Boundary and Kootenay region. Their sold out performances (Under the Boardwalk, Sister My Sister, Celtic Christmas with The Irish Dancers) attested to the popularity of the choir and the quality of its presentations, as did the critical acclaim they won at the Provincial Music Festival in 2005. The Sopranos & Co. have contributed to a wide number of community functions and events; providing the musical entertainment for Christmas dinner/dances at Christina Lake, the Boundary Artisan Association’s annual Christmas Faire, the

As well, it shared the stage with the choral society in 15 of its concerts, performed frequently for Perley Elementary School audiences and were honoured to share a concert with the University of Victoria Chamber Choir during its visit in 2006 and perform at the Olympic Torch Relay reception in the winter or 2010. “Perhaps the most rewarding part of working with The Sopranos & Co. is to know how much it has heightened students’ love and interest in singing, particularly in a choral context,” said Thompson. Many students have carried that interest on into post-secondary studies, and have made outstanding contributions to university music vocal and choral programs. Others have just continued to stoke their passion for harmonizing, as was demonstrated by four Soprano & Co. alumni in their concert as Con Fuore in the summer of 2010. “And what a group I have this year,” raved Thompson. “They ummer will be here before you know it... know the deal with The Sopranos is that it is entirely a volunteer com... re you ready for the beach? mitment – both by director and singers – and they can be counted upon CABA Fashions will be in Grand Forks to be there each week for rehearsal.

❚ REC REPORT

Getting in the same boat KIM JOHNSON Grand Forks Recreation

It’s time to put the winter boots and skis away and get out the life-jackets and fishing poles. It’s boating season and with it comes fun, as well as responsibility. There are about 10 million boaters in Canada. Almost half of the boats used recreationally in Canada are powerboats. Approximately 200 boaters die in boating-related incidents in Canadian waters every year. Every time you go out on the water, there is an element of risk. You never know when you will find yourself involved in a predicament and the outcome could be determined by your preparedness. As of September 2009, all operators of any powered craft must carry proof of competency on board their craft at all times. Proof of competency is not required for pleasure craft without motors. All youth under 16 years of age

require proof of competency to operate any motorized boat, supervised or not. Not only is it the law but it is your responsibility as a boater to gain the knowledge and complete the competency exam to attain a Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCO). There are options available to achieve certification. Grand Forks Recreation (GFREC) is hosting a BOAT Pro Course Saturday, April 21 at the arena viewing room from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The program is instructed by Mike Fairweather of the Canadian Power Squadron. Fairweather will review the curriculum, answer questions and have you writing an exam by the end of the day. Successful candidates will go home with their operators’ card in hand. Preregistration is required by contacting GFREC. If you prefer to go it alone, the Lifesaving Society provides the opportunity for you to study on your own and write the BOAT exam when you are ready. GFREC has the manuals available and

we also adjudicate the PCO exams once you’ve studied up and feel confident to write the test. Upon successful completion of the exam, you will go home with a temporary certificate, with an official card arriving in the mail at a later date. Your PCO card does not expire and cannot be revoked or suspended. You earn you PCO card if you score at least 75 per cent on a written test of basic boating safety. Boat operators caught without the PCO card on board are subject to fines. We want you to be safe and have fun on your next boating adventure so give Grand Forks Recreation a call for details on attaining the knowledge you need to be a responsible and competent pleasure craft operator. For information give us a call at 250442-2202 or email us at gfplay@rdkb. com. You can also visit our website at www.rdkb.com to view the most recent flyer.

House First Policy Many associations have a ‘House First’ policy. The Board is looking for input, from the membership, regarding GFMHA possibly adopting a ‘House First’ policy. A portion of the meeting will be set aside to allow members to provide input on the merits of GFMHA adopting a ‘House First’ policy. This is an important issue for our association. Please plan to attend and have your say.

ALS Society of BC GFI’s charity of choice GFI ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Submitted

The Grand Forks International Baseball Tournament (GFI) is pleased to announce that the ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) Society of BC has become its charity of choice. The GFI has made a donation to the ALS Society the past two years and will continue to support this fine charity in a more visible and intentional way. ALS has been called Lou Gehrig’s Disease, named after the great New York Yankees’ star. Gehrig played 17 seasons for the Yankees, and is one of the most outstanding baseball players to ever play the game. He was diagnosed with the disease at age 36 and the neuromuscular disorder claimed his life two years later. The ALS Society of BC raises funds for both research

and to provide direct services and support to those currently living with ALS. The support of the GFI tournament by our sponsors, advertisers, fans, teams and volunteers, indirectly assists this charity in its work. Wendy Toyer, executive director of the ALS Society, sent the following message to the GFI organizing committee, “Thank you so much for your ongoing support of the ALS Society of BC. Your help is providing more hope. Now more than ever we need to support our cause as we are making good gains with research. I believe we are within five years of a huge breakthrough. You will be part of the solution and together we will win the war against ALS. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all.” An article about the Grand Forks International Baseball Tournament will be featured in the ALS Society’s spring newsletter.

She was a vibrant, energetic woman involved in many sports and hobbies. Alice was a competitive swimmer and won many medals up to age 85. She was “Lady of the Lake” in 1939 (Kelowna Regatta). Alice also loved badminton and competed in Senior Games for many years. She was a talented artist and painted many watercolours which she sold or presented to friends and family.
