Fraser Institute grades SD51 schools CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Some schools in School District 51 (SD51) are considered subpar according to the latest Report Cards on B.C. Schools released by the Fraser Institute. Based on data from province-wide tests, elementary and secondary schools are ranked out of 10. Boundary Central Secondary School (BCSS) in Midway ranked 198 out of 280 secondary schools in the province, with a 5.3 rating out of 10. Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS) fared slightly better, ranking 181 out of 280, with a 5.4 rating out of 10. An average rating for secondary schools is a six out of 10. In terms of local elementary schools, which are ranked based on the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) tests, John A. Hutton Elementary ranked 205 out of 860, with a 7.2 rating out of 10. Dr. D. A. Perley Elementary School was ranked lower at 454, with 5.8 rating out of 10. Christina Lake, Midway and Greenwood elementary schools were not included on the list, since the schools did not have the minimum enrollment number of students, which is 15. “We do have criteria to whether or not a school is included or not, and that criteria is intended for one thing, which is to assure us that we have a reasonable amount of data that we can fairly rate this school,” explained Peter Cowley, senior vice-president of operations and director of School Performance Studies at the Fraser Institute. “This means they have to have at least 15 students in Grade 10, 15 students in Grade 11 and 15 students in Grade 12. They also need to have 15 test results from each of those three years. That’s our way of ranking a school

It’s that time of year again! ➤

not just based on a few results.” In British Columbia, the elementary school rankings look at data from Grades 4 and 7. Cowley stated rankings were done on schools regardless of what a school wants. Cowley pointed out that it is a relative rating, and the question to ask is how well is this school doing compared to other schools in the report card. “Generally, on average, Lower Mainland schools do better than rural schools,” he said. “If you look at all the schools that are located in the Lower Mainland, their average rating out of 10 is 6.7. If you look at the Fraser Valley in Southern B.C., the average rating is 6.2.” Norm Sabourin, president of the Boundary District Teachers’ Association, said he and the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation do not agree with the school rankings. “It’s a misuse of data and doesn’t really serve any positive purpose,” he said. “The school rankings tend to favour private schools and it’s no surprise that they do well because they can limit who can come into the building. The public school system takes in all students and does an incredible job with working with those who struggle the most.” Sabourin noted that research indicates that the biggest determinants to success in school have to do with socioeconomic status. “For a student who comes from poverty and a lack of support, it’s much more difficult for them to succeed,” he explained. “It’s equally amazing how many of them do (succeed). Teachers have different stresses in different areas, including larger class sizes and lower socioeconomic neighbourhoods with lower resources.” Sabourin suggested instead of school rankings via provincial tests, a more accurate indicator would be randomly selecting students (like Finland), which would drive

changes in curriculum. “If we took a random sampling of anonymous students and gave them a test, the ministry could look at those results and say, ‘it looks like there are deficiencies in these areas and these other areas are pretty strong,’” he said. “To revamp the curriculum, we need to look at these areas.” The information would then be forwarded to teachers to be applied, stated Sabourin. Michael Strukoff, superintendent of schools for SD51, thinks the report is interesting but does not play a significant part in SD51’s planning. “We do learn about parent average income for our schools and can see the income of all other schools,” Strukoff said. “GFSS and BCSS are ranked below the average for academic standings, do you think this is a fair assessment? If you look at the detailed data, both schools’ actual ratings are higher than what their formulas would predict for our high schools.” Strukoff cautions that there is no system that will tell the whole story of a school or its students. “The report itself cautions that indicator results for small schools tend to be more variable than do those for larger schools and caution should be used in interpreting the results for smaller schools,” he concluded. “In the provincial context, both of our high schools are small.” Cowley agrees and doesn’t suggest choosing a school purely on an academic basis, however. “Depending on your child’s needs, there are a lot of different aspects of schooling that you may want to look into when you are choosing a school,” he said. “We do recognize, especially in rural parts of Canada, there isn’t much choice for schools.” The Fraser Institute releases the report on high schools and elementary schools once a year.

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF GRAND FORKS

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS METAL FLOWER HANGING BASKETS PROTOTYPE PROJECT The City is seeking individuals who have the ability to create from a metal medium, a prototype of a metal hanging basket that contains metal flowers, leaves, stems, etc. for the purpose of a possible long term solution for “live” floral baskets that the City has provided, in the past, on some of the light standards within the City. This pilot project will see those interested in participating, providing a cost quote and design specifications for their rendition of a metal floral basket substantial in size that would compliment the City’s Light Standard. The following points are the suggested criteria when considering this prototype project: CRITERIA • The basket and flowers must be made with longevity in mind. The purpose of this project is to provide an eye appealing dimensional basket of metal flowers, leaves, etc. that will remain for years to come with very little maintenance and has a provision for rain and snow drainage for year ‘round display. • The project must be large enough to compliment the City’s light standards (good visible appeal) and will require the means to provide adequate support (e.g. proper gauge chain, metal wire, etc) to securely hang the project and to deter theft. • The metal mix is the artist’s choice; however, the artist should bear in mind metal types that are geared for longevity and cost-effectiveness. The City would prefer if metals that would otherwise fill our landfill could be utilized in the project, but this is not a final determining factor. Powder coating of metal is also a viable option. The City is foremostly seeking the artist’s individual creativity and welcomes all suggestions and ideas. • Independent solar lighting which would highlight the baskets in the evening.(Grand Forks is considered a “Solar City”, and this form of clean energy is encouraged) • The project will be able to provide the means to display a permanent “name of sponsor” on the basket meant for longevity. This is in consideration of a future “sponsor a basket program” that the City may implement should the pilot project prove successful. For this pilot project, “The City of Grand Forks” to be displayed on the basket. The artist may, in addition, display their own unique signature to their artwork. • The City may consider the concepts from more than one artist and acceptance of prototypes will be consistent within the City’s 2012 budget for this project and mindful of the above criteria. • If the 2012 Pilot Project is proven successful, The City of Grand Forks, through it’s annual budgeting process, may determine to continue this program in the following years and offer opportunities to our valued talented artisans. Requests for proposals should be submitted either in person to 7217 – 4th Street – Grand Forks City Hall; by mail to: The City of Grand Forks, P.O. Box 220, Grand Forks, BC, V0H 1H0; or via email to dheinrich@grandforks.ca. (Please note: if sending by email, please verify with the writer that your proposal has been received.) Deadline for submissions is Friday, June 1st, 2012 at 3:30 PM If further information is required, please feel free to contact Diane Heinrich, Corporate Officer, for the City of Grand Forks at dheinrich@grandforks.ca or by phone 250-442-8266.

Photo albums were found undamaged in the wreckage of the Grand Forks Hotel during a clean up session last week. During the removal of the charred remains of the Grand Forks Hotel, a machine operator made the discovery and determined the albums belonged to resident Jeffrey “Sparky” Thomas. Thomas was the one who woke up residents in the Grand Forks Hotel and managed to get everyone out of the burning building on the morning of March 7. “They’re in really good condition considering what they went through,” explained Gary Trent, a friend of Thomas. “All of the photographs were his mom’s photographs, wedding photographs and all sorts of stuff even newspaper clippings when his mom used to work with handicapped children.” The albums were not burnt or damaged. Apparently the albums were in a box with miscellaneous items on top. When the fire occurred, the box must have fallen through the floor and was protected when other items fell on top of the box. The albums were found by a machine operator who was working at the far northwest end of the building, where Thomas’ room was located. “Upon digging in the rubble the machine had a load with something very unusual in it,” explained Trent. “The operator got out of his machine to see what was so unusual he had just dug up in his front-end loader. He noticed a little pile of books amongst the rubble. He salvaged them and went on with his work.” It wasn’t until later the operator took his break and look through the books. “As he looked through albums he thought that he recognized a few people in the pictures,” Trent continued. “Being a small town he seemed to recognize Jeff in some of the photos and immediately had him contacted to tell of his findings. When Jeff (Thomas) arrived on the scene you can imagine the delight that filled his heart.”

Thomas was thrilled by the find, as the albums belonged to his mother, Dorothy, who passed away two years ago. “You know Mom didn’t leave us kids much but she did make sure I got her photo albums,” Thomas recalled. “After the fire I was so dismayed that her albums burnt and I felt so bad about that. It was my biggest loss.” Though yellowed with age, all three photo albums managed to survive the fire in good condition. “Imagine the heat of that fire and all the water they poured on the building and these albums survived,” Thomas said. Though Thomas had originally thought he lost everything in the fire, the photo albums managed to survive unscathed. The Grand Forks Hotel was destroyed during an early morning fire on March 7.

COMMUNITY ❚ BOUNDARY 4-H

4-H Rally Day encourages youth development CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Boundary 4-H recently participated in the District Rally Day held at the Rock Creek Fairgrounds on May 5. Along with demonstrations and educational displays, members judged five classes of livestock and items. There were 42 4-H members in attendance from five clubs, the Borderline 4-H Club (BL) from Rock Creek/ Kelowna, Boundary C 4-H Club (BC) from Rock Creek, Boundary Multi Club (BMC) from Grand Forks, Kootenay Cinch “N” Saddle (KCNS) from Castlegar, Trail and Rossland, and Nelson 4-H Club (NC) from Nelson. This was the first year for Cloverbuds (youth aged six to nine) and they learned about various 4-H projects. “The 4-H program provides young people with an opportunity to learn how to become productive, self-assured adults who can make their community and country a good place in which to live,” explained Norma Howes, district key leader of Boundary 4-H. “This is fostered through project and program work, experiences with their 4-H club members and leaders and their participation in district, regional and even provincial programs.” The goal of the 4-H program is youth development, including knowledge, leadership, citizenship and personal development. “4-H is an organization dedicated to young people,” Howes continued. “The purpose of the 4-H program is to prepare girls and boys for their future as adult citizens.” 4-H clubs are for youth from ages nine to 21 years. In 2014, the British Columbia 4-H clubs will be celebrating their 100th year. 4-H started in Manitoba in 1913 and the first project was potatoes. B.C. joined the following year. “4-H Clubs in the Boundary started about 65 years ago,” she said. “I am just starting to work on the history of them, and the Grand Forks Museum is supposed to be doing a 4-H display for next years centennial.”

The Fund has been extremely effective in personal assistance to individual children (to the age of 19) with special needs and developing and supporting ongoing clinical programs across Canada in the area of speech, hearing and communication disorders. The quality of life that many children, and in some cases, whole communities enjoy can be either directly or partly attributed to projects funded through the backbone of the Elks – our local Lodges. Each year the Elks provide over $15 million through ongoing local, provincial, and national programs. Lodges are our Strength Our Lodges are the strength of the Elks of Canada. Our charitable activity starts at the local Lodge level with fundraisers, community projects and a host of other activities. And the purpose of all this effort is to simply make our communities a better place to live. That’s what the Elks do. This doesn’t mean that the Elks are all work and no play. In fact each Lodge, whether it has licensed facilities or rented rooms, finds ways to entertain its members. Activities such as card parties, darts, curling and bowling outings and pot-luck dinners help them to entertain themselves after working for their communities. National and International Recognition In 1987 the Elks were awarded the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) Award for Distinguished Service -- the first time the award had ever been given outside the U.S. In 1999 the Elks and Royal Purple of Canada were awarded the Consumer Advocacy Award from the Canadian Association of SpeechLanguage Pathologists and Audiologists (CASLPA).

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

The Boundary Weed Program and Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) are concerned about the growth of invasive plants in the Boundary region. The invasion of non-native plant species are damaging to the native wildlife, such as insects, birds, mammals and reptiles in the area. Barb Stewart, co-ordinator for the Boundary Weed Program, stated the plants they are looking at tend to be more biennials or perennials. Biennials usually require two seasons to complete their life cycle, where as perennials can last for many seasons. “Those plants tend to be problems year after year and there are a lot of weeds out there,” she said. “We don’t deal with dandelions, since they’re more of a garden weed. We deal with the ones that have an impact on the landscape.” The biggest problem at the moment is the Hoary alyssum. “It’s just about to start flowering so it’s just going to be visible,” said Stewart. “There are others out there but they’re not going to be visible for at least another few weeks.” Hoary alyssum grows up to 70 centimeters and has white flowers on top of the thin stalks. The plant is covered in starshaped hairs. Stewart stated that the term “weeds” refers to anything that is introduced and growing where gardeners don’t want it to grow, where as invasive plants move into a landscape and tend to dominate the landscape. “We deal with the invasive plants that won’t go away on

their own,” she said. “As far as the impacts, it varies by the plant species.” Invasive plants compete with native plants and can affect foraging wildlife, water runoff and sedimentation. “Most of them have come from Europe or Asia; some have come with the personal belongings of settlers, others come from the bows of ships and some were intentionally brought in as ornamentals,” explained Stewart. She believes that around 60 per cent are intentionally brought in. “Our weed committee does offer identification services, so you know what you’re dealing with and that’s free of charge for landowners,” she added. “We come out to see what they got and give them suggestions on how to manage it.” The RDKB accepts disposals of invasive plant species free of charge, at all landfills and transfer stations. To ensure that the seed does not spread during transport, the bags must be double bagged. “The big message to people is to prevent spread into our background areas,” Stewart stated. “That’s a huge message because they come off of pickup trucks, cattle guards, trailers and ATVs.” Stewart noted that there are simple steps that will help in the long term, including keeping the area where your truck and trailer is parked mowed down, and washing the underside of vehicles. She also noted that gardeners should ask questions before they plant something new. For more information, contact Stewart at 250-446-2232 or visit weedsbc.ca or rdkb.com.

Meeting for livestock producers on May 23 BOUNDARY LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS Submitted

A second meeting was held on April 21 for the Boundary Livestock Producers. At this meeting, a steering committee was formed to establish a way farmers can create a new venture, which benefits all Livestock Producers in the Boundary region. There is a lot of work to do. The order for the mobile slaughter unit (MSU) has been placed and is expected to arrive in Grand Forks by this fall. Finding a good way to communicate with farmers in the region was also discussed at this meeting. The ideas explored included using a phone tree, email, flyers and regular articles in the paper. The steering committee also agreed to a monthly meeting

Safe Kids Week 2012 – May 28 - June 3 Poison prevention - Every day, every way Poisoning is a much larger public health issue than is generally recognized. For Canadians of all ages, poisoning is the fourth leading cause of injury deaths and permanent total disability. It is estimated that half of all poison exposures occur among children less than ﬁve years old. Canadian children are at risk, and most poisonings occur in the home. Fortunately, most poisonings are preventable with a few simple measures. Watch this space for a schedule of safety events in the Boundary area and safety suggestions to help protect your children from accidental poisoning. Success By 6 supports parents and communities in creating healthy, nurturing environments for our youngest children, so that by age 6, they are physically, socially, and emotionally ready to succeed in school. The goal of Success By 6 is to better the lives of our Boundary area children in our families and enhancing our communities.

for those livestock producers wanting to keep informed. It was very clear from the discussion that local farmers need to be kept up to date. The first monthly meeting for all interested livestock producers will be Wednesday, May 23 at 7 p.m. at the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary office in Grand Forks. Before the meeting adjourned, the facilitator asked what the MSU could mean to local livestock producers in the Boundary. The comments offered were very positive and suggested the MSU will help livestock producers become more profitable. Comments were also very optimistic. One farmer said, “One of the answers to our food problems is to bring young people back into agriculture – this project and business can do that.” For more information contact Doug Zorn at 250-442-3359.

Girls in Action held its annual banquet April 17 at the Gospel Chapel with a record turnout. Not only did mothers and daughters attend but Pals, grandmothers and aunts as well – it was a lovely dinner and a great evening. Lee-Anna Klassen, Dora Salkeld, Rae Salkeld, and Sybil Sinclair spoke and showed slides of their trip to Thailand. Voyagers, led by Monica Thate and Liz Klassen, were given special bags with all kinds of goodies. Pathfinders each received their little scrapbooks, which they had worked on all year, and gifts of cozy blankets. Their leaders were Heather Kraftchick and Shawna Fojt. Trailblazers, guided by Elaine Martens and Rae Salkeld, read all the books of the Bible, from memory, and each received a devotional book and special bookmark. The girls each did a quilt book with their handprints and it was put together as a surprise gift to Martens. Attendees were grateful to Deb Zibin for co-ordinating the

Auxiliary thanks volunteers on May 14 CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

The Grand Forks Hospital Auxiliary will be celebrating Health Care Auxiliary Day on May 14 with tea at the Boundary Hospital. This day is to recognize the hard work and dedication of all the volunteers who have given time to the Hospital Auxiliary. The actual date of Auxiliary Day was declared on May 10, 2012. Willy Triveri, president of Grand Forks Hospital Auxiliary, stated. “On that day, the hospital will be hosting tea for the volunteers of the Grand Forks Hospital Auxiliary.” There are currently 100 volunteers, both men and women.

Breathe through a straw for 60 seconds. That’s what breathing is like with cystic fibrosis. No wonder so many people with CF stop breathing in their early 30s.

Please help us.

Happy Deb You’re still cute! With love from your family

Founded as the Grand Forks Hospital Aid Society in 1946 with 10 women. The named changed to the Grand Forks Hospital Auxiliary when the thrift store opened on March 4, 1969. It moved to its current location on 2nd Street in Grand Forks in 1983. “We have a raised an enormous amount of money over the years for the purchase of equipment for the hospital,” Triveri said. “We are really delighted with the generosity of time that people put into making our shop so successful.” Along with equipment donations to the hospital, the auxiliary has a scholarship award for local high school students, which started in 1965. Volunteers will be thanked on May 14 at the Boundary Hospital, though the time has not yet been announced.

Grand Forks’ Overwaitea grocery store may see its name changed to Cooper’s Foods, although Overwaitea is not confirming.

Julie Dickson, director of communications for Overwaitea Food Groups, stated nothing can be announced about any future changes at the moment. “We’ve had some discussions with our team members about ways

to grow our business in this community but don’t have any firm details we can share at this time,” she noted in an email. “We’re committed to serving the community of Grand Forks and look forward to continuing to provide the great service and

offers our customers have come to expect from us over the years.” Cooper’s is a part of the Overwaitea Food Group, along with Save-on-Foods, Urban Fare, Bulkley Valley Wholesale and PriceSmart Foods.

Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising. On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*

What does this mean for you? 54 or older as of March 31, 2012

You may still obtain OAS/GIS at age 65

53 or younger as of March 31, 2012

The age of eligibility for OAS/GIS will change gradually between 2023 and 2029

Starting in July 2013, Canadians who are eligible for, but not yet receiving OAS will have the flexibility to delay receiving it in exchange for a higher monthly amount at a later date.

The number of working-age Canadians per senior is decreasing, placing additional pressure on the OAS program.

Scotch and strong cast give Carnage some punch

Grand Forks <Fill in Curves Club Name> <Fill in Club Address> 7439 3rd Street <Fill in Club Phone Number> 250-442-8946

❚ Martin’s Movie Pick

The movie Carnage certainly did not jump off the wall of the video store LIZ when I went MARTIN to peruse, but on closer inspection, its cast was impressive. Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz – I was familiar with Reilly but not Waltz. Directing Carnage is Roman Polanski, a name familiar to most of us so I decided to give it a viewing and I’m glad I did. The movie was shot in Paris, doubling for New York as Mr. Polanski is not allowed into the United States. I was amazed to read of the awards this film has been nominated for, too many to mention here. It was made in 2011 and based on the play God of Carnage. This story starts of with a couple of parents visiting another couple to try and sort out their differences due to a fight their two young sons had, one hitting the other in the mouth with a stick. It starts off with the usual niceties, manners abound, but wait, things get a bit rough indeed.

Waltz’s role as a lawyer has his cellphone interrupting the afternoon frequently and then to everyone’s dismay, his wife, played by Winslet, feels ill following the dessert served by Foster. She becomes sick in the living room, not a pretty sight, and blames this on her hostess’ food. Well, things do not improve following this so it is decided to have a drink to relax a bit. Which proves to be a wrong move as the Scotch fuels each one and the dialogue goes from civil to, dare I say, carnage. This film is very well directed by Polanski; the two female actors are very strong indeed and with their wonderful linguistic ability, find much to say about the other’s rearing of their child. One starts to see that these two marriages leave much to be desired, not noticeable at first. I will not give away the conclusion movie lovers, leave a little something for yourselves to see. It is an unusual movie, no flashbacks or change of scenery, just pure dialogue and well acted indeed. Enjoy! – Liz Martin is a film critic for the Grand Forks Gazette, movie lover, cello player and happy retiree.

One of a kind mom!!!!! I love my mom because she is the only mom i have and she will always be my one and only favorite! When i am bored she makes up cool things to do so i’m not bored anymore! My mom is a very easy going mom she always lets me do awesome things and takes me awesome places! whenever i clean or do a chore she rewards me for it and i thank her for that! My mom is very generuous, say if there was one candy left and there was two of us she would let me have it, sooooo nice! My mom is very nice and kind if it was raining out andf she wanted us to walk to a store to meet her if it was raining out she would’t make us! When we are doing the paperoute she always takes us for a slushi and in the end she always ends up spending more than we make on the paperoute, now that’s generous!!!! Sometimes before we go to school in the morning she makes us bacon and eggs, and the eggs are just how we like them extra yokey! So thanks mom, for everything you do for me and have a great Mothers day!!!!!! ~ by Ashley Jones

Debbie Smith of Grand Forks

Mother’s Day is special to me. It is because I love my mother very much. Of course, I love my dad too, but mom is truly special to me. She’s my inspiration, the one that I look to when I’m down. I’ve lost count on how many times she’s helped me up, how many times she’s supported my decisions, and how many times she’s comforted me when those decisions turn out to be bad ones. If it was raining outside I would offer the umbrella but she would never let me. She would give it to me cause that’s what mothers do. If ever I become a mother in the future, I would like to be a nice, caring mother like my mother is. And I’m sure she’ll love my children the same way she loves me. ~ by Aspen

The Language of Drawing and Studio Watch at Gallery 2 GALLERY 2 Submitted

Gallery 2 opened two exhibitions this past weekend with The Language of Drawing, a show of works submitted by 10 artists who live and work in the Columbia Basin and Studio Watch, recent works by Christina Lake artist Steve Howard. Drawing, whether used as a means to an end or an end in itself, is a significant aspect of every art practice. The works that make up this exhibit will challenge our traditional definition of drawing. As guest curator, Helen Sebelius states, “All of these visual stories speak about the artists’ hands-on and highly personalized involvement with their subject matter and materials. Whether created with unconventional materials such as ball-point pens, gel pens, markers, recycled paper, or the traditionally accepted conté, charcoal, graphite, oil stick, gouache and pastel, their work is visceral in nature, at times obsessive, and always evident of an intimate engagement with their art.” The Language of Drawing illustrates how 10 artists interpret the practice of drawing – one of the oldest forms of visual expression that has played a crucial role in the work of artists throughout history. Studio Watch presents recent mixed media works by Steve Howard. “By layering paint, found objects, photography collage, and sculpture I strive to create

windows into new realms, realms seen in the mind’s eye, the soul or perhaps, a dream state,” he says. “To make these windows, I gather fragments from time and space, whispers from the layers that make up what we do and do not see, experiences generated by emotions, spirituality, and other human conditions. I paint compressed moments which express the flow of life’s endless spirals, the rhythms of the Earth.” These works are a direct expression of Steve’s energy and passion for life and are deeply rooted in his love for the natural environment. Behind the apparent spontaneity lies a very deliberate mind. These exhibitions run until Saturday, June 2.

❚ CYCLING

Cyclists and motorists must work together for safety BOB MacLEAN Submitted

Where does a successful spring project begin?

With ACTION!!

Spring weather signifies the start of cycling season. Cyclists under law have as much right to travel on roads, streets and highways as vehicles. Without bike lanes vehicles must share the road with bicycles. Mutual respect on the byways is a must for everyone’s safety. Cyclists have a responsibility for their own safety and must share the road. Even though the wearing of a helmet is not always enforced, cyclists need to wear one. Parents should set a good example by wearing one at all times. Even at slow speeds, serious brain injuries can occur if one falls and hits their head. Please use hand signals and obey all traffic laws. Cyclists need to ride on the right side of the road and be mindful of jagged pavement, potholes and sand. Motorists need to be wary of this because cyclists will swerve to miss these dangers. Motorists have responsibilities for the safety

of cyclists and other motorists. They need to slow down and go around cyclists not just miss them with their mirror. Be mindful that cyclists, especially a child or a senior, could fall in front of a vehicle. Motorists may have to wait for a straight stretch of road to pass – do not pass on curves. Please wait behind a group of cyclists instead of making a right turn in front of them. Be respectful of long lines of bicycles and pass when safe for all, including oncoming vehicles. To avoid a terrible tragedy, one might have to wait for 30 seconds to pass safely. The Grand Forks Cycling Club rides every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursdays from 5:15 to 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. along the Carson Road network and along the North Fork loop. Often there are 20 cyclists in a group and we are trying to share the road with motorists as best we can. Meet us at Chain Reaction Ride & Slide on a ride night if you wish to learn more about the club or join. One needs a well-maintained road bike, a desire to ride regularly and to increase fitness levels.

❚ REC REPORT

Grand Forks Recreation thanks mothers LILLY BRYANT Grand Forks Recreation

Mothers are the sweetest gift to us all. There is no way we can ever really thank our mom for all she does for us, nevertheless we must make it a habit to keep reminding ourselves of the various sacrifices she made while raising us. Mothers’ Day is the best time to say in words how much you love and care for your mom. With that said, let mom have a day off. Let her sleep in, make her breakfast and bring her to the aquatic centre. She can enjoy a leisure swim, soak in the hot tub or sauna or workout in the fitness room. Sunday, May 13, mothers swim for free during our public swim from 1 to 5 p.m. *** There are so many benefits to being active and eating healthy that it is best to pay attention to it. Grand Forks Recreation (GFREC) offers many opportunities to get active. Aquafit moderate classes are offered Monday through Friday from 10:15 to 11 a.m. Aqua-Advance classes are held Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 9 to 10 a.m. If you’ve never attended a fitness class or if it has been a long time since you have done fitness on a regular basis, or you suffer with minor disabilities, start with our aqua-Mild class.

There was a full weekend of golf for local juniors. On Saturday, 20 juniors braved difficult course conditions at Granite Point Golf Club in Nelson. Scores were high, but in the end Jordan Hoodikoff from Christina Lake took the title with a four over par round of 76. In the age divisions, Garrett Underwood from Champion Lake took first in the 17 and 18-year category with an 84, Alex Rugg also from Champion Lake finished second with an 87. In the 15 and 16-year division, Amber Arnold was first with an 88 and Isaac Janzen from Creston was second with a 90. One of the best performances on the day came from the 13 and 14 year olds, where Nolan Renwick from Granite Point carded a 79 to finish second overall, but first in his flight. Braden McKay from Rossland-Trail Country Club (RTCC) was second in 13 and 14year flight with an 84. In the skill prizes Garrett Underwood won KP (closest to the pin) for the 15 to 18 year olds and Ryan Fullerton from RTCC won long drive. Jeff Ashton from Castlegar won KP in 14 and under and Braden McKay took the long drive. On Sunday more than 30 juniors teed it up at Christina Lake. Conditions were much more conducive for scoring and there were some decent scores post-

ed. Rock Creek’s David Launier started strong, getting to three under par through three holes. He, however, made a few mistakes and finished with an 80. Once again 18-year-old Hoodikoff won the tournament. He showed his experience winning his third-straight event with a 3 under par round of 69. Tyler McKay, from Rossland Trail, tried to make it interesting, he was one under through 14 holes, but two late bogies led to a one over par round of 73. In the flights Garrett Underwood from Champion Lake and Brenan Moroney from RTCC both carded identical rounds of 76. The boys went to a three-hole playoff and Underwood ended up taking first in the 17 and 18-year division. McKay took first in the 15 and 16-year category with Isaac Janzen from Creston getting second with a 78. In the 13 to 14-year division McKay took first with a 77 and Carson Arcuri from Granite Point taking second. For the first time in a few years we had enough females to run a female division. Amber Arnold from Castlegar beat MacKenzie Field in a twohole playoff to take first. Both girls posted identical rounds of 88. In the skill prizes MacKenzie Field won KP for the 15 to 18 year olds and Derik Launier from Rock Creek won it for the 14 and unders. Nolan Renwick was the long drive winner in the 14 and under and Hoodikoff was the LD champion in the 15 to 18 year division.

❚ GOLF REPORT

Rain doesn’t deter retirees, ladies play “3s & 5s” Retirees’ golf The rain held off until most of the 60 participating members reached their final hole for retirees’ golf at Christina Lake Golf Club on May 3. The game of the day was “Beat the Pros.” It must have been a good day for 11 of the retirees, as they were able to score a net of 73 or better. Noel and Jordan represented the pro shop and both scored with nets of 73 or better. The course par is 72, so not too shabby. Following the golf, members enjoyed a retirees’ club-hosted buffet lunch of hot dogs and chili. Despite the liquid sunshine, a few members turned out the morning of April 26 and 12 of the hardy group actually played nine holes.

Tuesday ladies’ golf There were 37 ladies in all on May 1 and they played a “Lone Ranger” game at Christina Lake Golf Club. Six ladies played just nine holes; Lois Docksteader was the winner of the nine-hole group. Thirty-one ladies played 18 holes; the winners were Colleen McKenzie, Sandy Gillis, Michelle Boyd and Marge Catalano. We had a general meeting on April 24 at 8:30 a.m. and a nice breakfast. There were 36 ladies who played the “3s & 5s” game – that means everybody played their own game and only par 3 and par 5 holes counted. Four ladies played just nine holes, 32 ladies played 18 holes. The winning team was Lynne Webster, Fae Lee, Joie Lavalee and Pat Krulic. Twenty-seven ladies played the “Dice Game” on April 17. The winning team was Paz Alguire, Sharon Olson, Glenda Higgens and Marilyn Caswell who scored 75. – Submitted by Paz Alguire

Sacred Heart Catholic Church reflecting on Nicene Creed BELIEVE – Reflections on the Creed – an Invitation from the parish family of Sacred Heart, Grand Forks. First, a word of inBROTHER troduction: my name is GERALD CRAIG Brother Gerald Craig. I am the replacement priest for Father Marcel Coté, the current pastor at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Parish here in Grand Forks. Our parish is inviting members of congregations in the community to “BELIEVE, Reflections on the Creed,” a six-part series exploring the treasures of our faith as expressed in the Nicene Creed. It is presented in a series of videos. David Payne is the presenter and he takes us to a variety of locations – including the Holy Land, Oxford, Cambridge, London, Rome and Nicaea – and interviews prominent women and men of faith. There are testimonies from lay people, Scripture and catechism quotations, times of prayerful reflection and questions for discussion.

May is Multiple sclerosis awareness month MS SOCIETY OF CANADA Submitted

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex disease that affects each person differently. During May, MS Awareness Month, people touched by MS join together to raise awareness and support for the cause. While the majority of people living with MS are diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), more than half will develop secondary-progressive MS within 10 years of their diagnosis and 90 per cent will develop progressive MS within 25 years of their diagnosis. This May, the MS Society of Canada is raising awareness about MS, the most common neurological disease affecting young adults in the country. “MS is a very hard thing to get beyond. My life right now is so different from what I thought it would be,” says Michelle Amerie, an MS Society volunteer who developed progressive MS in 1992. “My advice to people diagnosed with MS is to do whatever it is that makes you feel alive. There are a lot of people that will help you go on, and there are a lot of supports that you can tap into.” “MS can be a challenging and life-changing disease. One day a person can feel great and the next day they can feel extremely fatigued or experience double vision. For people living with progressive MS, their symptoms may worsen day-to-day or plateau for weeks. Our urgent need for answers on progressive MS drives the increased need for Serving the community since 1936 progressive MS research,” says Yves Savoie, president and CEO of the

Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. “This May, the MS community will join together to let people know that no one has to face these challenges alone.” To further understand MS, the MS Society and the Multiple Sclerosis Scientific Research Foundation are funding a $3.8 million multi-centre grant to investigate the complex interplay between degeneration and inflammation in multiple sclerosis. This research may have special relevance for those with progressive forms of MS. The MS Society also offers services to people affected by MS that can help them maintain their quality of life and deal with the issues related to the disease. These services and programs include information and referral, supportive counselling, self-help and support groups, financial assistance and recreation and social programs. Local communities need these resources since Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world. This MS Awareness Month, the MS Society will team up with the many Canadians who bring hope to those affected by MS. Fundraising events, such as the MS Carnation Campaign and MS Walk, will take place across Canada to raise funds for MS research and provide services to those impacted by MS. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord. It is the most common neurological disease of young adults in Canada. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40, and the unpredictable effects of MS last for the rest of their lives. The MS Society provides services to people with MS and their families and funds research to find the cause and cure for this disease.
