Grand Forks Fire Rescue Greenwood won’t take eyeing new fire engine over Providence Dam CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Grand Forks Fire Rescue is looking to purchase a new fire engine to replace the department’s older vehicle. Dale Heriot, Grand Forks Fire Rescue chief, noted that the new fire engine would be replacing an older engine by next year. “We are looking to replace our current fire engine truck by the end of 2013,” he explained. “As a fire department, when we purchase equipment we don’t purchase it for where we are today, we purchase it for what we figure will happen 20 years down the road because they last us 20-plus years.” Heriot is hoping to have a fire engine ordered sometime next year because it takes up to a year to custom build each fire engine. “It’s not like a car lot where you can just pick one up, most times you have to order them and they build them to your specifications,” he added. “We are looking at replacing our current ladder truck with a 100-foot (about 30.5 metres) ladder truck.” Part of the reason the Grand Forks Fire Rescue

is looking at a ladder truck is due to the possibility of a developing city. As the area continues to grow, Heriot pointed out that there might be a chance of the population doubling within the next 20 years. “We have to speculate this way because if we didn’t and it did double, and we’re not prepared for it, we can’t protect the community properly,” Heriot said. Another reason has to do with Roxul Inc.’s expansion and Interfor upgrading its facilities. The 30.5-metre ladder would allow the firefighters to reach a higher elevation for a water stream to protect the facilities. At the moment, the tallest ladder the fire department has is 15 metres long, so the additional height of the ladder is also being considered for its added reach. “The new Silver Kettle Village is a big development and for us to manage a rescue, we need to be able to reach into some of those third storey balconies to get people,” explained Heriot. “With anything shorter, it will be really tough to get into there when you take into account landscaping and everything else.”

At its last council meeting on July 9, the City of Greenwood decided not to take over responsibility of Providence Dam located at Marshall Lake. Greenwood Mayor Nipper Kettle explained that the lake is not the city’s responsibility. “We are not willing to take over ownership of the dam, there’s just too much risk involved and too much liability,” he said. “The ‘what ifs’ are just too great, especially when you look around now at what’s going on around British Columbia. It’s not the same, but it is a concern.” Kettle is referring to the mudslide at Johnson’s Landing, as well as the mudslide near Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, north of Cranbrook. Greenwood council made the unanimous decision prior to the July 13 deadline imposed by the Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “Personally I think the dam is safe, but it’s hard to say with what’s happening now,” said Kettle. “I do know that we can’t afford to take it on and it’s not our responsibility.” Tara White, senior fisheries biologist for Fish and Wildlife Section of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations out of Penticton, stated that the removal of the dam was the ministry’s first option. “We’re currently conducting a feasibility analysis of the costs and logistics, design options and timeline schedules to decommission the dam,” she said. “When the feasibility analysis is complete, there will be considerations to look at.” White pointed out items could include where the dam should be breached, to what level, where the best spot would be, and the implications to the landowners. The Fisheries and Wildlife Section only owns the lake and not the surrounding property. “After the feasibility study is concluded, we will be consulting with adjacent landowners for potential impacts and that their concerns are addressed,” said White.

Residents gather around Marshall Lake on July 14 to discuss next steps to save the dam from being decommissioned. John Greaves (second from right) and Christopher Stevenson (far right) were in attendance.

THE PAST ❚ THE WAY IT WAS

Greenwood liquor store looted in 1932 1907 Granby Smelter was proceeding with an expensive building expansion program, with furnace enlargement and construction of a new steel flue chamber among the improvements. 1912 During a recent windstorm the boom at the mill of Robinson Lequime Lumber Company was ripped open and logs representing millions of feet of lumber were scattered over the entire surface of Smelter Lake. 1917 Earnings of Granby Consolidated in May approximated $450,000 from the operations of the company’s property at Anyox. 1922 Mrs. Frances Olivia Almond died. She came to Grand Forks as a bride in 1890, being the third white woman to settle here. She was the wife of Sidney R. Almond, government agent here for more than 20 years. The Almonds resided until 1897 on a ranch, part of what is now known as Almond Gardens. 1927 The Grand Forks celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation was pronounced a resounding success, with many attractions and an evening dance program. 1932 The Greenwood liquor store was robbed of an amount of liquor valued at $1,800. Entrance was through a wide window. 1937 Joe Talarico, winner of the amateur dance contest in the Dominion Day Gyro Carnival, was to play his concertina over CJAT radio station, Trail, under the auspices of the Gyro Club. 1942 Mr. and Mrs. Tom Mudie moved here

1982 Although Grand Forks is following the provincial trend of falling house prices, homeowners can take solace in the fact that prices here are down 20 per cent compared to 30 per cent in Castlegar, a similar figure in Trail, and a 50-percent drop in the Vancouver area. 1987 The BC Utilities Commission approved the sale of Cominco’s West Kootenay Power and Light Co., to UtiliCorp, an American utility based in Kansas City. 1992 As of July 10, the large number of forest fires in B.C. this year had burned up 9,201 hectares and had consumed over the 80 per cent of the 1992 firefighting budget. 1997 Canada Post proposes “new” green mailboxes as an interim solution to lineups at the post office. Residents had been waiting for newer silver/red boxes, but those are to be delayed until the following spring. 2002 Philipe Thevenaz has cleared the ALR sand trap, the provincial government water hazards and, at the last Regional District of Kootenay Boundary meeting, he cleared the zoning rough. Thevenaz’s dream of a golf course on the banks of the Granby River has made it through all the regulatory obstacles and now just needs to organize financing. 2007 Current air-quality degradation is largely due to forest fires burning in Washington, as well as several smaller fires over the weekends right here in the Boundary. Dry conditions coupled with human negligence and a weekend lightning storm kept the fire centre busy with as many as 85 fires over the weekend.

NEWS Greenwood says no to dam Continued from page 1

“The feasibility study should be done within the month.” Christopher Stevenson, the founder and organizer of the Marshall Lake Stewardship Society, said, “At this point we have to wait and see what steps the ministry will take.” He added, “At a certain point we are going to have to make a decision and say, are we going to allow them to go in with excavators to take it out or are we going to do something about it?” Stevenson noted the stewardship society is looking at several possible appeals, including the loss of property value. He recently found a separate case study surrounding this issue that describes an aspect of the situation he believes the ministry hasn’t taken into consideration. “As soon as they do something to this lake and make their lakeshore into mud, their property value will spiral down,” he pointed out. “The ministry will have to compensate them.” Diane Gottselig, the property owner who has a cabin located near the lake, wrote a post on the stewardship society’s Facebook page stating the low water levels over the past few summers have made it difficult for them to access their cabin. “We have to walk across a huge ditch with over a foot of water in it,” she wrote. “We have not been contacted with plans for how we will be able to access our property this summer. The property was bought with the certificate stating lakeshore

property.” She noted that should the lake be reduce to its original state, all that would be left is weeds and mud on their side of the lake. “This will make it unable for us to swim, use the beach and just generally difficult to enjoy the property,” Gottselig said. “We use the property very frequently and have a lot of family and friends who enjoy it with us.” Gottselig is also concerned about how the reduced lake size would affect the animals that use the lake or live there. In less than a week, the stewardship society has collected more than 800 signatures for a petition. The signed petitions were delivered to the Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thompson, while the online petition will be forwarded to Premier Christy Clark.

Fire rescue eyes new engine Continued from page 1

The new fire engine would include a platform ladder as opposed to a regular ladder. A platform ladder has a basket-like box attached to the top of the ladder, that also provides better stability for firefighters when rescuing someone from a building. “What we currently have is an aerial ladder, so only one person can climb up it,” Heriot pointed out. “We feel with the amount of seniors that we have in the community, it’s pretty hard to get a senior out of a burning building and climb down our current ladder. If we had a platform with a basket, we could just step them into the basket and bring them down. It’s much safer for everybody.” Despite the plans for a new fire engine, the price of the fire engine is still under discussion. “The reason why the price is still up in the air is because it depends on what size of a truck you’re going to get and what other options you get on the truck,” said Heriot. “The price can go anywhere from $700,000 to $1 million, but it’s all dependent. It’s also dependent on taxpayers.” The fire department hasn’t asked the city for money yet, as planning for the new fire engine is still underway. Mayor Brian Taylor believes the new fire engine will be a great asset to the city. “It looks like an expensive investment by the city and frankly we don’t have enough in reserves to cover it so we’ll have to look into other sources,” said Taylor, who added long-term leasing would be the city’s first choice. “The purchase of the new fire engine is also a matter of primary responsibility of safety to the city.” Taylor also agreed with Heriot that the new ladder would be helpful for newer buildings like the Silver Kettle Village. Heriot noted that at this point, it appears it will be fully funded by the city but the situation is under negotiation with the Rural Fire Protection District. The Rural Fire Protection District was created in 1957 and asked city firefighters to operate outside of city boundaries. Rural Grand Forks created their own fire rescue group in 1979, but both the city and rural teams were amalgamated in 2006. “Ultimately, it really is up to the taxpayers and what they want,” he concluded. Grand Forks Fire Rescue currently has six fire engines, with 11 apparatuses that include water tenders and other equipment. There are five fire halls spread throughout Grand Forks and the rural area.

❚ CITY WORKS

City repaves Selkirk College lot, landscapes soundstage CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Summer construction is underway in Grand Forks with a new parking lot at Selkirk College and landscaping at City Park. Sasha Bird, city manager of technical services and utilities, pointed out that the parking lot has been in need of repair, including the drainage system beneath the parking lot. “We’re putting in new materials and repaving,” she said. “Across the street, we’re doing some landscaping at City Park. This is a separate council initiative because it didn’t get done as a part of the lift station project.” At City Park, workers are creating an amphitheatre look, out near the playground and public washrooms. “Where the stairs go down the front and each side, there’s a bit of a bank, that’s going to be all planted up and there’s going to be some rocks in there and it’s going to get top-soiled and sodded,” Bird explained. “We’re probably going to be doing some work on the back at the lift station, where all the dirt is.” Leveling and seeding of the rugby field at City Park has been completed since last fall, but the goal posts still need to be put in place. City manager of operations Hal Wright noted that some irrigation boxes may need to be brought to the surface, but the field is otherwise done. “The grading is complete and the grass has taken very well, but we are waiting for dimensions from the rugby organization for the poles,” he said. “That was supposed to be forthcoming early in the season but that hasn’t happened yet.” The rugby field should be completed by the end of August, stated Wright.

❚ MISSING PERSONS

Christina Lake man reported missing Gazette Staff

A Christina Lake man has been reported missing after failing to appear on a bus destined for Chilliwack. Stephen Kenneth Shaw, 27, was scheduled to meet with his mother on the morning of July 16. According to Kelowna RCMP, the Greyhound bus reportedly arrived at 3 a.m. on July 16 in Chilliwack, but Shaw wasn’t onboard and his family has been unable to locate him. Shaw is described as standing approximately 1.83 metres (six-feet) tall and weighing about 81.65 kilograms (180 pounds) with brown hair and eyes. He also has two tattoos, a grim reaper on his left leg and a Canadian flag on his neck. RCMP say that Shaw had been last seen in Kelowna and had been living at a hotel there, although he was originally from Christina Lake – police also said that he told his mother he was going to Chilliwack but told his girlfriend he wanted to go home.

News tips

He doesn’t have a history of going missing and his family is concerned about his welfare and mental state. Anyone with any information on Shaw is asked to call Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.

❚ Our View

You can’t put a price on safety Much like the fire department at Christina Lake last year, Grand Forks Fire Rescue is looking into the purchase of a new fire engine. Grand Forks’ Fire Chief Dale Heriot says that the new engine will replace the older one by 2013 and the department is looking to make the purchase not on present conditions but what could happen down the road – increase of population and development in the city etc. With that said, the fire department is looking at getting a 30.5-metre ladder truck and Heriot says the price could be between $700,000 and $1 million, although Grand Forks Fire Rescue hasn’t approached the city for money yet. Heriot said that, at this time, it looks like the fire engine purchase could be fully funded by the city and Mayor Brian Taylor agrees it would be a good asset. But Taylor also says that the city doesn’t have enough in reserves to cover the cost so it may have to look into other sources, long-term leasing for instance. Not that a $1 million engine, complete with motorized seats, big screen TVs and gold-plated rims or anything like that, should be purchased but the city should spare no expense. Do research of course, to get the best deal on the best fire engine possible – the best bang for the buck as it were – but don’t skimp out. You can’t put a price on safety. It was only in March that there were two major fires at the same time in Grand Forks – the Winnipeg and Grand Forks Hotel fires – and back in late-May, there was a fire at the local Interfor mill. It is right to think of the future when making such a purchase and while there are no skyscrapers in Grand Forks, there are multi-storey buildings and having a proper fire-fighting vehicle with a more functional ladder can not only mean more efficiency in battling blazes but can be the difference between life and death in a rescue situation. Again, no price tag has been announced as of yet but people shouldn’t mind footing the bill on a purchase such as that.

Question of the Week from www.grandforksgazette.ca Should Marshall Lake and the Providence Lake dam be de-commissioned?

YES 30%

Example of weak justice in Canada Officials said that prosecution of the Stanley Cup rioters would take some time and they weren’t kidding. It’s been over a year since the Vancouver Canucks lost in the seventh, and deciding Stanley Cup final game to the Boston Bruins and according to reports, there are still about 113 cases yet to be heard. Some of the rioters, however, have received what is deemed their just deserts – Emmanuel Alviar, who was taped rocking vehicles and damaging the Telus building in Vancouver, received jail time. Robert Snelgrove, another rioter, was originally sentenced to house arrest for five months and 150 hours of community service as he was caught exiting Sears with about $150 worth of looted goods. However, the judge that sentenced Snelgrove also said that

he wanted to shorten the number of community service hours from 150 to 50 citing the stress it would cause on the already strained provincial corrections branch – thankfully, the judge can’t due to legal rules. To be fair, Snelgrove, like some of the other rioters turned himself in to police shortly days after the riot but in even considering shortening the community service hours, the judge appears to be talking out of both sides of his mouth. “You committed a crime, so here’s your punishment,” in one breath and “Well it might be too costly to go through with the

punishment, so here’s a compromise,” in another. The judge should’ve considered the strain to the corrections branch before giving out the sentence and waffling only adds credence to the notion that the justice system in the country and province is too lax – how many times have we seen sentences reduced? While Snelgrove did turn himself in and while his lawyer said his crimes are tamer than some of the other acts that took place during the riot, he was a part of that infamous night. He also didn’t read an apology letter he wrote to the media after an appearance in court last week – he’s probably tired of the spotlight and apologizing constantly but humbling himself before the media would go a long way in repairing his image.

❚ WILDLIFE HABITAT

Editor: Re: Power trip at the border (letter, June 20 issue of The Grand Forks Gazette) Thank you very much to the hundred-plus people who contacted me with messages of support and stories of distress after the publication of my letter regarding abuse at the Danville border crossing on June 3. On June 4, I wrote a letter of complaint to the superintendent in charge of this crossing. He called me the following day, ostensibly to attempt to defuse the situation, without even having spoken to the offending officer but I insisted on filing a formal complaint. Four weeks went by and I heard nothing, I filled in the complaint form on the CBSA website which can be found at www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/menueng.html. Go to the “In Focus” section on the right and click on “Comments, Complaints and Compliments.” Perhaps these people are too busy playing polo but I have heard nothing from them either. The most common report I have received from the citizens who took the time to contact me is that they simply do not go down “there” any more. They are tired of being treated like criminals when they are coming home. One man in his 80s broke into tears when recounting his humiliation at this border crossing. I am putting together a file, which I intend to forward to the minister in charge of the CBSA. I believe this crossing suffers from either a lack of supervision, a lack of training, or both and things need to change. If you wish to be a part of this, join the throng by emailing the details of your experience with the name(s) or badge numbers of the civil servants

Concerns about North America Editor: Editor’s note: An abbreviated form of an open letter sent to North America Stone Inc. Thank you for sending representatives to tell us about your plans to take granite samples from the Lynch Creek area. We were alarmed to learn these samples will be 4’ x 4’ x 8’ and you have applied to remove up to 10,000 tons! We were also alarmed to learn you propose to haul these massive rock samples through a riparian area. You may think you are getting a good deal because the raw materials are available to you at a low price, however, we want you to know; you would be exerting an enormous cost on our social and ecological environment. People live close to your proposed operation. They will be directly impacted by the noise, dust and increased traffic. The environmental cost is huge, potentially devastating to the survival of threatened species. You may not know that the area staked out is in a wildlife corridor and is home to the Kettle/Granby Grizzly bear – a species “of special concern” in this province. It is a migratory route and habitat for mule deer, mountain goat and other wildlife. It is also a recreational area, with established hiking and mountain biking trails that are maintained by the people

❚ OPINION of this valley for local residents and tourists to enjoy. We do not see any benefits coming to the people of this valley, the people of B.C. or the people of Canada from your proposed operation. We see this project as just one example of many, where the resources belonging to the people of this country are being given away in order to enhance trade relations between China and Canada. That is not acceptable to us and we will continue to stand up and speak up. If you come here as a visitor, we will welcome you. But, please know, if you come here to destroy our land, we will oppose you. We will protect and preserve this land for the wildlife and for our children and grandchildren.

❚ ENVIRONMENT

Instant insanity Editor: It is sane to spew cyanide into the atmosphere, of course, or we wouldn’t allow it here, in this fine valley. It is sane to spray insecticides and herbicides, near where residences are located and roadways, where children ride their bikes. Everyone is giving money to support cancer research, meanwhile they are pounding back chlorinated water. How ironic. How much money do you give cancer research to alleviate your guilt in allowing the cancer-causing agents to be part of your environment? It’s good thing everyone is sane. It’s a good thing everyone is sane because what if they determined people who were responsible for destroying the environment as being insane and what if those people had to be ignored for thinking this way? Things would be a little different – we would have clean air, pure drinking water, organic food, cancer would diminish. Insane isn’t it? Nadine Heiberg, Grand Forks

In my last column, I introduced the idea of “two new solitudes” that have emerged in Canada, that I labelled “Neo-Conservative” and “Progressive.” ALEX These two new solitudes ATAMANENKO have major differences in how they perceive the world, and especially the role of government versus the role of corporations in our lives. One solitude believes that government should minimize regulations on markets and industry because market forces (multi-national corporations) do the best job at creating a strong economy and a healthy society. If corporations influence public policy, the better off we will be as the benefits trickle down to all of us. Government has no role in providing programs, like childcare or affordable housing and the individual is ultimately responsible to find work and to save for retirement. Low income taxes will stimulate the economy and give people more spending power. Low corporate taxes will allow corporations to better compete in world markets and we will all, eventually, benefit from this. On the other hand, the “Progressives” believe that government does have a role in our lives. The officials you elect to represent you should be driving the public policies and regulations that address the diversity of our communities’ economic, social and environmental needs. A fair taxation policy can more equitably distribute who pays what and to ensure long-term benefits for all. For example, by investing more in education and training, society reaps the benefits of a well-educated, skilled and competitive workforce. By providing affordable housing, childcare and pensions, government can increase personal and community health, increase the numbers in a productive workforce, reduce health care expenses and make business more competitive. Corporate “free trade” agreements are not free. What is needed is a “fair trade” policy. What sense does it make to sign a trade agreement and lose control of our natural resources to corporations? Or lose our government’s right to protect local hiring, set rules that protect us or the environment, or prevent farmers from going out of business? Any trade agreement should be fair to Canadians and be based on basic human rights, the rule of our Canadian laws, fair labour practices and environmental safety. I belong to the “Progressive” side and believe that government has a role to play in fostering a fair and just society for all. It is possible to work for and with our businesses, our workforce and our communities to create a prosperous future for our children and future generations. – Alex Atamanenko is MP for the B.C. Southern Interior

❚ POLICE REPORT

RCMP arrest severely impaired driver KARL YU Gazette Editor

Drinking and driving at Lake On the 14th of July at 11:24 p.m., at Christina Lake there was a report of impaired driving. “A constable a complaint of an individual being cut off from being served alcoholic beverages at the Crow and Bear Pub,” said Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. “Subsequently, the officer located a local Grand Forks male, who was driving (with a passenger), displaying severe signs of impairment.” An alcohol screening device was used, the driver registered a fail and was handed a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition and the vehicle was impounded – the vehicle belonged to the passenger, who was also issued a ticket for driving contrary to restrictions. “The restriction he had was he had to have an interlock device on his vehicle, so obviously he had a previous record for this type of thing. The person was a 30-year-old Grand Forks male,” Harrison said. Copper wire theft On July 9, there was a report of copper wire theft at 1:33 p.m. from a property on Morrissey Creek Road at Grand Forks. “There were two pieces of copper wire,” explained Harrison, “One 12-gauge wire with a yellow covering and a smaller length 10-gauge wire with black covering.” Harrison said a suspect was questioned but denied any involvement and police are still investigating. On July 10 at 9:56 a.m., there was a break-and-enter at a residence on 3rd Street in Grand Forks. Harrison said the residence is a vacant rental property and the person who broke in did damage and also removed some copper wiring. RCMP have a suspect in the matter (different from the Morrissey Creek Road incident) and the investigation is continuing.

Licence plates stolen Also at 3:43 p.m. on July 9, at Christina Lake, was a report of trailer plate that was stolen from a boat trailer that was parked at the Texas Point boat launch and Harrison said there were no suspects or witnesses on that incident. On July 14 at 12:01 p.m., a rear licence plate was stolen from a 1999 Suzuki Swift parked at Riviera RV Park on Highway 3 in Grand Forks sometime overnight. Cooler thefts At 11 p.m. on July 10 at Neimi Road at Christina Lake, a number of campsites in the area saw hard liquor and beer stolen from coolers. “That’s a seasonal thing. You get thefts from coolers,” Harrison said. On July 11 at 12:05 p.m., at Johnson Road at Christina Lake, at the Skands Tent and Trailer campground, a cooler containing beer from Alberta was taken. “It was taken a couple of nights ago and there was no description of the cooler and that’s about all we know,” Harrison said, adding that police are recommending that campers lock their coolers up. Bike theft On July 15 at 1:36 p.m., there was a report, at Christina Sands Estate at Christina Lake, of a theft from a motor vehicle. A bike was stolen, as well as a GPS (global positioning system) device, an iPod and $80. “Witnesses at the scene stated that there was a suspect described as a male, 18 to 20 years of age, wearing dark shorts and a white and orange-striped hoodie,” Harrison explained, adding that immediate patrols were made to locate a suspect of that description. Police are still investigating and asking for the assistance of anyone who may have seen anything at that time. More police items available at www.grandforksgazette.ca.

New training grounds for Grand Forks Fire Rescue CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

As well as plans for a new fire engine purchase, Grand Forks Fire Rescue are currently developing new training grounds that will provide the volunteer firefighters a place to train and practice drills near the airport. After five years of discussions and planning, the training grounds are finally underway. “We’ve been working on this for a long time and investigating funding and everything else in regards to it, including finding a piece of property that is adequate for it,” Grand Forks Fire Rescue Chief Dale Heriot noted. “Now we finally have a piece of property so the guys can go ahead and raise some funds to build up equipment.” Heriot added that the land in use belongs to the City of Grand Forks, but Grand Forks Fire Rescue has a licence of occupation agreement with the city. The property is still owned by the city, but the firefighters will be able to train on the grounds. The training grounds will include a burn building facility, a car fire prop, some angle rescue props, propane tank breach props, and a natural gas leak prop. Heriot added that most of that stuff would be either natural gas or propane. “There should be very little smoke from the training grounds,” he said. “The only possibility of smoke may be when we do our fires in the burn building because we need to use Class A materials for that, which is ordinary wood.” The training ground is an on-going project, though Heriot hopes that 50 per cent of the props will be in place by the end of the year to be able to be used for practices “The development of the training ground will be on-going as we raise funds to develop and train it,” he said. The fire department recently had a car wash and hot dog sale to raise funds for new equipment. “One of the biggest reasons for the training ground is that the community expects us to protect them and we need to practice in a facility so that we can protect them,” Heriot said. “The

other part to that, and especially in regards to live fire burning and doing interior fire attack in event of having a fire in a residence or business, it’s getting increasingly more difficult to find buildings that we can work in and burn, due to environmental concerns.” Heriot pointed out that the grounds are a really good way for the volunteer firefighters to get the training and to feel the heat of live fire, while still having it environmentally safe and safe for them. Once the training grounds are up and running, volunteers will be using the space most weeks to train and practice. “We do train all over the valley here and there’s some kinds of training that won’t be at the training grounds, but a lot of it will be at the training grounds,” Heriot concluded.

Reminiscences by Cassandra Chin Born and raised in Grand Forks, John Mehmal, 65, remembers long hours spent on the farm tending to blossoming apple orchards and driving cattle up into the ranges. The youngest of three brothers and sisters, he laments on how Grand Forks has changed since his time as a child. “Before there was a lot more home-based people and a lot more farming in the whole valley,” he said. “There were a lot more ranchers and the number of livestock in the area has been diminishing. Some of it is due to economics and others due to more people moving into the more urban areas.” He’s noticed that the agriculture has decreased immensely because the acreages that used to grow produce in the valley have turned into hobby farms. Part of the change had to do with when people moved to more urban centres for higher paying jobs, instead of staying on the ranch to farm, and more retired residents moving in, Mehmal pointed out. “People had orchards here, potatoes, onions, and there were also a lot of people in the beef industry,” he said. “We had an apple orchard and dairy cows and beef cows, but as our family members moved away, we changed our direction because growing fruit became a lot more labour intensive work.” Mehmal stated that it’s easier to get things done and maintain everything with a larger family, with more hands on board. Both his parents were also in the farming business and focused on maintaining their orchards. In the 1960s, the focus shifted to raising cattle. “We had all different varieties of apples on the farm and my dad was very attentive to agriculture and he did a lot of planting,” Mehmal added. “It takes a lot

and we used to sell them cream in our younger days. That soon changed and we had to push the orchard down when my dad passed away and that’s when we went more intensively into beef cattle. We’ve always had cattle that we ran on the range before my birth for sure.” Long hours spent on the farm had Mehmal split much of the chores and responsibilities with his siblings, but he enjoyed every moment. “I really enjoyed the planting, haying and working with the animals, like the cows and the horses, and I enjoyed raising the crops,” he noted. Though he remembers a quiet and calm childhood for the most part, he does recall the cultural tensions between the Freedomites and the government. His own family was culturally diverse, with a Russian mother and a Punjabi father born in London, England. John’s father, George, immigrated to Canada with an uncle in the late 1910s. English was their only common language, which was spoken to the children growing up. However, there were more cultural differences between the English speaking community and the Russian speaking community, than there were issues due to skin colour. Ultimately, the Mehaml family grew up happy in Grand Forks “There was different aspects to growing up in a small town, and this was one of them,” Mehmal noted. “People used to be able to get through it better in the older days because they were able to find other jobs to keep them going. I think now everything is at such a huge cost, that the younger generation, if they want A portrait of the Mehmal family. to get into agriculture, they have to be very rich to buy enough property to get The youngest of six, John is the baby. into it.” of care, time and effort.” When not tending to the ranch, the family particiAs a child, Mehmal recalls the days of milking pated in a lot of horse shows and fall fairs, with play cows for the dairy. days with local families. “We started making cream later on in my life,” he “My brother Wally, he did a lot of events,” he resaid. “The credit union building used to be the Sun- called, though he also participated in several events. shine Valley Dairy.

ranch. Mehmal noted that one of the biggest changes in the field of agriculture is how the machines have become bigger and more efficient. “The horsepower equipment has changed and the type of machinery that has been devised for planting and cultivating work intelligently in the fields,” Mehmal said. As the youngest, though he remembers growing up working with tractors, his family showed him pictures of how they used to harvest with a machine pulled by a horse. “At one time we thought a 30-40 horsepower tractor was a big tractor, now it’s 100-200 horsepower,” he pointed out. “A lot of the machines have changed the way things are done. We can get things done a lot faster now and the size of the equipment has increased immensely.” Presently, Mehmal is still dedicated to maintaining his ranch with the help of his son. His daughter is currently studying agriculture and horticulture at the University of Saskatchewan. His days usually begin around 5 a.m. before heading out to the field around 8 a.m. where the rest of the day is spent tending to various duties. There are usually family meetings to discuss what needs to be done around the farm on Sunday morn-

He did point out that summers are usually much hotter and less rainy. One particular summer, Mehmal remembers his sister returning home from her job with a telephone company. “This was during the time when they had telephone operators here,” he chuckled. “Don Orser took an egg out on the sidewalk and cooked it outside the old Gazette building. These are the little things that stick in your mind.” Always eager to get the day started, Mehmal continues to carefully tend to his ranch and loves each moment. “I love that everything remains home-based even with the changes over the years,” he chuckled. “It’s a good way of life – not the best to make money nowadays, but it’s a good life.”

Planning your Summer Staycation Whether we’re lucky enough to have several weeks of vacation or are restricted to just a few days, here are a few suggestions of things to do for couples, all the family or with friends.

I really feel like... ... BEING PAMPERED WITH MY SWEETHEART! For couples, a relaxing and romantic activity together is always appreciated. Treat yourselves to one or two days of relaxation at a spa. Spoil yourselves with treatments, which are sure to please the man as well as the woman in your couple. Try the pleasures of a massage in the fresh air, followed by a dip in a hot tub, a good bottle of wine and a cozy room. ... HAVING FUN WITH THE FAMILY! With the children, action-packed activities are always the most appreciated. Digging for crystals, water sports fun, horseback riding... the children will have a great time and so will the parents! For an overnight stay, choose to stay at a ranch or camping at one of the local camp grounds. ... HAVING A GETAWAY WITH FRIENDS! To awaken the senses, plan a sensory getaway: discover area golf courses – there are several in the area for all levels of golfers. Breathe in the fresh air and fragrances of Mother Nature. For those grey, cloud-covered days, organize a cultural getaway: discover a museum but try and find something more than just a traditional painting exhibition. Discover modern art, science, the human body, nature and wildlife... hundreds of such experiences are accessible, allowing you to make the most of your vacation even if it’s raining! Mother Nature awaits you when you decide on an outdoor getaway: a walk in the woods, an outing in a kayak or canoe on a lake or river. Rent an ATV for the day, go for a road trip in the mountains or breathe in some fresh air during a bike ride. You’ll feel totally invigorated!

Looking f something for

fun and exciting to do? Check out Owl Mountain Ranch in Christina Lake! Offering safe and spectacular horseback tours for any level of rider! Near Hwy 395 & Ponderosa Rd. Christina Lake • 250-447-9442 www.owlmountainranch.ca

Submitted by Grand Forks Visitor Centre Taking a “STAYCATION” means playing in our own back yard, which allows us to see our area through the eyes of a visitor while still enjoying the comforts of home. To truly experience a “Staycation” though, one must act like a tourist in our town. For instance, one of the first stops a tourist makes is the Visitor Centre. The staff is trained to provide directions, ideas and valuable information about events, etc. They also offer a great coupon book for sale that could make your “Staycation” very affordable. The Visitor Centre is not only for visitors; it is here to serve the community. And remember, one must have a sense of adventure to really experience a “staycation”, step out of the routine and imagine you are discovering your community for the first time, rediscover why you live here and why others wish they did – our type of experience is like no other. Heritage tourism is on the rise. Are you one of the locals who haven’t visited Gallery 2 yet and seen the always changing art exhibitions? Explore more local history at the Boundary Museum situated at Fructova School. Book a tour to see the Grand Forks Doukhobor Flour Mill site where one can still buy locally made flour. Greenwood and Midway Museums are well worth a drive too. When is the last time you explored the old Phoenix Road where the highest city in B.C. once stood. The cenotaph, former rail grades and many heritage sites are marked on the Phoenix Interpretive Forest tour map that you can pick up at the Visitor Centre. The Phoenix Cemetary is peaceful and movingly beautiful. As mining is one of the main reasons for our town’s existence, Rock Candy Mine offers insight into what a prospector may have experienced on a day to day basis. Book a tour through the Visitor Centre and keep all the crystals you can possibly carry. People of all ages are nuts about rocks. These are just a few ideas for your “Summer Staycation”. There is so much to do in our special community, enjoy what our area has to offer, save money and find out why we’re so lucky to live here.

Thate set to perform at historic Fructova on July 28 Submitted

Grand Forks Country music star Amanda Thate will be performing at the historic Fructova schoolhouse grounds on Saturday, July 28. It was just a short time ago that Amanda Thate stepped onto the stage at the Grand Forks Fall Fair and took home top honors in the Grand Forks Idol competition. “If you would have told me back then that my life would be where it is today, I would have shaken my head in disbelief,” says Amanda Thate. “Until I stepped onto the stage at the age of 15, I would have described myself as shy, reserved and definitely not a country music artist.” With significant milestones of winning the EZ Rock Next Step competition, opening for country legend Roy Clark, singing with her high school band, being backed by Tammy Wynette’s band in Nashville, Tenn., winning the fans’ choice contest to open the Merritt Mountain Music Festival and opening for Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) award-winning artist Gord Bamford this spring, Amanda is finally coming home to perform live in concert.

“It is so humbling to receive so much support from the people of Grand Forks,” Amanda said. ”This means the world to me to know that an entire community is behind me. This motivates me. Makes me realize and appreciate how blessed I am to live in Grand Forks.” People have expressed to Thate how disappointed they were when they found out that the Merritt Mountain Music Festival was cancelled and Thate found this heart-warming. ”It just touched my heart that people would feel and share my own disappointment,” Thate said. “The opportunity for me to hold this concert in Grand Forks on July 28, in such a beautiful setting, is a wonderful way for me to reach out to all of you from my heart and say, ‘Thank you’ for all the love and encouragement that you have given to me – God Bless you all!” Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the gate and children under 12 get in for free. Tickets are available at The Source, Your Dollar Store and More, CIBC, Thistle Pot Gifts and Work n Play. Concert begins at 4:30 p.m. and gates open at 2 p.m. Billy Chernoff and Country Singer/Songwriter Showcase will open.

SPORTS ❚ SUMMER GAMES

BC Games first step for many London-bound athletes BLACK PRESS

If you spend the rest of your life waiting for the right moment...

When the Olympic and Paralympic Games begin in London, there are a number of Canadian athletes who will remember their first multisport experience at a BC Games. Twenty-four athletes on the Canadian Olympic team started their journey to London with a trip to the BC Games, including 2008 Olympic gold medallist Carol Huynh (wrestling), and recent Giro d’Italia winner Ryder Hesjedal (cycling). As part of the athlete development pathway, the BC Games are a first multi-sport experience for young athletes that lead towards provincial and national teams and ultimately the Olympic or Paralympic Games. The BC Games are part of a strong provincial sport system that provides an outstanding training environment and support services for high-performance athletes. Forty per cent of the Canadian Olympic team live or train in B.C. Shot-putter Dylan Armstrong of Kamloops, B.C. is one of Canada’s great medal hopes at the 2012 Olympic Games. He is a shining example of a B.C. athlete who has developed to international success with support through all the stages of the athlete pathway. Involved at a young age with the Kamloops Track and Field Club, he represented the Thompson-Okanagan Zone at the 1995 and 1996 BC Summer Games. Success as part of Team BC at the 2001 Canada Games was next before winning gold for Canada at the 2007 and 2010 Pan American Games. All eyes are on this BC Games alumnus to better his fourth place finish from the

2008 Olympic Games. Swimmer Brent Hayden of Mission, B.C. is another medal contender in London. Brent competed at the 1998 BC Summer Games and reflected, “The BC Summer Games was the point in my career when I realized that I had the potential to go further. It was soon after that that I decided to switch from being a summer swimmer to training all year round. It is clear that I wouldn’t have noticed my own potential without the BC Summer Games.” The full Paralympic team will be named later this summer but former BC Games athletes Bo Hedges of Fort St. John, B.C. (wheelchair basketball) and Adam Rahier of Powell River, B.C. (swimming) will be part of the team. Over 2,300 athletes between the ages of 10 and 18 will be at the 2012 BC Summer Games, which kick off just one week prior to the start of the Olympics. It is an inspiring experience that will ignite the dreams of many young athletes to pursue their sport to the highest level. A veteran of the Canadian Women’s soccer team, Karina LeBlanc from Maple Ridge, B.C. remembered, “It was an amazing experience because I did dream of one day being at the Olympic Games and it was the closest thing for me to it, so it made me want to be there that much more!” Watch for the next generation of Olympians and Paralympians at the 2012 BC Summer Games, July 19 to 22. See the complete list of BC Games alumni heading to London at www. bcgames.org

While the upcoming BC Summer Games in Surrey, B.C. will be special for a lot of athletes and coaches, it will be more so for Shane and Evan Gorman. The father and son will coach and play for the Kootenays in baseball respectively – Evan has experience playing in the infield, outfield and on the mound and expects to be playing pitcher and shortstop in the summer games. “My dad makes me try harder because he’s always a little bit harder on me than any other coach,” explains Evan when asked about the influence of his father. As for Shane, he originally wasn’t expecting to coach the team and if it weren’t for his son giving the OK, wouldn’t have taken part. “I got a call from the Cranbrook Summer Games committee. They were short of coaching in the baseball department, so they looked up my coaching accreditations and asked me if I’d coach,” Shane remembers. “The first thing I did was ask Evan if that was alright, because he had been chosen to play a few days prior, and I was just going to go down as a spectator and a parent. It’s his experience, I did all my baseball, and he said it was fine and it’s great.” Shane has coached Evan in hockey but will be dealing with batting, the outfield and some managerial duties at the summer games and doesn’t foresee a situation where he crosses the line as father and coach. “In baseball, it’s more of a team sport, where it’s just positional and strategy. My expectations of him are to give it his all and have fun. Don’t worry about what I think” the elder Gorman

says. “If I notice that he’s taking or crowding the plate or seems uncomfortable because of something, I’ll mention it to him. The way he hits and plays is beyond me now. As far as improving him, I think that he’s at that level now where, if for pitching and hitting, it’s going to take someone that played a lot further than I did to correct things,” Shane went on to say. Evan doesn’t mind though, if his father gives him some tips about how to bat during the 2012 BC Summer Games. “He was a good hitter when he was a kid so he’s going to probably correct my stance and technical things,” Evan goes on to say.

CASSANDRA CHIN July 4, 2012

Open letter to hockey players and parents, At our AGM, in April, Grand Forks Minor Hockey Association (GFMHA) Board requested input from members on the merits of pursuing a ‘House First’ policy for GFMHA. The AGM was very well attended and we had an informative and interactive discussion. Good reasons for pursuing both house and rep were presented and discussed and what we clearly heard, from the members, was that the decision to go house or rep must be considered each year for each level independently. The majority of the membership, expressing opinions at the meeting, did not believe that adopting a blanket ‘House First’ policy would be in the best interest of our association. Since the AGM, the Board has been working on developing and documenting guiding principles and a process that will help with making team in category decisions as straightforward and transparent as possible. An important part of the decision making process is to conÀrm our registration numbers as early as possible. As a result changes are being made to our registration process, effective the 2012-2013 season, to support this. For the last few seasons we have offered a discount to players registered by September 15th. This discount date is being changed to August 20th. There will be no change in the registration fees for the upcoming season. Date Fees th On or before August 20 th

Instructions for registering for the upcoming season can now be found in the ‘Registration Packages’ folder on the ‘Downloads’ page on the website, www.grandforksmha.ca. Please note registration will be done online this year. Thank you to everyone who participated in the AGM. We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable summer.

There were quite a few players who were there.” After the tryouts, Makortoff was happy to note that everyone has been getting along. “So far it’s a good group of guys,” he added.

BMX provincials at City Park this weekend Submitted

This weekend, over 100 BMX racers and their families will descend upon the BMX track in City Park for the Grand Forks BMX Club’s annual Provincial Championship Race weekend. There will be races on Friday evening (from 6 p.m.), Saturday (from 11 a.m., all proceeds from this race going to BC Children’s Hospital) and Sunday (from 10 a.m.). Come cheer for our local kids and adults, as they race with the riders from all over the province. “Most of the visiting racers come from the Okanagan Clubs,” says Grand Forks BMX Club President, Dave Carlyle, “They love our track because of its excellent design and length. The Grand Forks BMX track is known to be the longest BMX track in the province, so our racers, who train on it regularly, have developed great endurance. “ “BMX racing is popular the world over, and is also an Olympic sport, so we are really lucky to have such a great track right here in our little town,” Carlyle says, “And the visiting racer families love our Provincial Championship Race weekend because they can camp adjacent

to the track, and have easy access to all the stores and restaurants that Grand Forks has to offer. “There is no doubt that hosting an event of this size has a positive economic impact on our community,” Carlyle adds, “It is a great opportunity for the City of Grand Forks to showcase its natural beauty and easy lifestyle to a captive audience”. The Grand Forks BMX Club is run by parent and community volunteers and all proceeds from the concession stand, next to the track, pays for track operating costs. “Emcon has been very generous to the BMX Club every year,” says Carlyle, “We are very thankful to Ken and Holly and the folks at Emcon, who have donated their time to keep the track in great shape.” In addition to the BMX Provincial Championship Race Weekend this weekend, The Grand Forks Road Cycling Club will be holding its Cycling BC Masters Race weekend in Grand Forks on Friday evening and Saturday and Sunday. This promised to be a big tourism weekend for Grand Forks, with lost of opportunities to watch some great athletes in action.

ing regularly can reduce your risk of many diseases. Walking helps to control body weight and reduces body fat, increases bone density, and enhances personal wellbeing. It is a low impact activity, minimizing stress on the feet and joints, thus making the risk of injury very low. Getting started is simple, just get up and put one foot in front of the other. Begin by walking around the block and gradually increase your distance and pace. *** If you need encouragement and would like to walk with a group, join the Love and Sugar walking group meeting in the Grand Forks Arena parking lot on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 7:30 a.m. The program is free and people of all ages and physical ability are welcome. All you need is a pair of comfortable shoes, water bottle and a smile. For more information, call Grand Forks Recreation at 442-2202, email us at gfplay@ rdkb.com, or visit www.rdkb.com.

Remembering Walter Austin Long time North Fork resident Walter Austin lived a life not many understand. It was a way of life most only hear about in stories now. This is Walter’s story… Walter was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan to Percy and Hilda (Austin) Sewers on November 4, 1925. Five years later his brother Henry was born. The family moved to Grand Forks, B.C. when Walt was 6. They lived in a small house in the area known as Ruckle. Percy purchased property off the grid 28 miles up the Granby on Burrell Creek at what is known today as the Burrell Creek Ranch. They built their homestead and started a sawmill cutting bridge timbers. Walter attended school at the now gone brick school building, (what is now known as Perley School). He walked the path from Ruckle to the school, over the original railway bridge. Walt attended school until grade 6 when he left to work for his father in the mill and doing government land clearing and putting up hay around the valley. He’d work away all day, then come back to the ranch and build fences at night by lamplight. Walter’s main diet those days consisted of lard sandwiches, rice, potatoes, beans and raw eggs to wash it all down. Ranchers don’t farm for the money; they farm for the love of the land and animals. Walt became very good at vet work and was very proud of his skill in doing C-sections on cows to deliver their calves. When there was no vet in town, he was quite often called upon by other ranchers to doctor their animals. When asked what he would have been if he could have been anything he wanted, he always replied, “A surgeon”. In later years, they built an air strip that ran through the property which allowed Percy, Walter and Henry to Ày planes into the ranch. Through the years Walter became a jack of all trades. He cleared many a ¿eld with his Cat for the government land clearing in this valley and in the South Okanogan and the Christian Valley. He dug the irrigation ditch in the Osoyoos area, too. He built range roads and cattle watering holes. Walter logged the Phoenix area, driving the logs down the Phoenix road on the bed of an old model T Ford. He laughed as he retold the story with his hands how to drive one. He was so amazed at the way machinery drives now, “like driving a Cadillac” he would say. While logging

up the Eholt way, a log smashed through the cab of the Cat, crushing Walter inside, busting him up badly. He was alone and had to crawl for help out to the highway. When driving past the area, he would recall that devastatingly painful time in his life. Raised in a time before electrical appliances, Walter cut blocks of ice from Smelter Lake and hauled them to the homesteads for people’s ice boxes. He often talked of the Àood of ’48 that covered downtown Grand Forks when they blew out the smelter dam. Walt may not have had much schooling, but was by far one of the most knowledgeable men to know. He knew every mountain, creek, river, bird, animal and plant that covered this area. He knew the seasons to the day they were to change and when the geese would return to the ¿elds. He was proud of his knowledge and with reason, too. And did you ever hear him play his mouth organ? He played a mean harmonica! He also loved to laugh and tell jokes and loved to fool people into thinking the joke was a real story until he got to the punch line.

Walt made many friends in his youth that remain his friends still. In the early 1990’s Walt met the Thomson family and discovered many common interests. He welcomed them to help him farm the land after his father had passed away. Walter, Doug and Sue farmed cattle, pigs, sheep, rabbits and much more for the next 10 years. Walter became part of the Thomson family. When Melissa (Doug & Sue’s daughter) gave birth to her son, Phoenix, in 2000, Walter took the role of proud “Papa Walt”. When the farm house burnt down in 2003, the Thomson’s welcomed Walt into the house in town. Lost in the ¿re were Walt’s daily journals and all his photograph albums which chronicled his day to day living. They were truly wonderful to read. In 2009, when Walt could no longer drive, he took to the streets in style with a four wheel scooter. With a new sense of freedom, Walt was out and about visiting friends, orange Àag waving high, just about anywhere. He even went 4x4ing with it! Thanks to those who brought him home when his adventures outlasted his battery charge. As Walt aged and retired from farming he began to enjoy life’s simple pleasures; listening to the birds while sitting on the front porch, watching the newly born fawns, traveling with a good roof over his head; everywhere and anywhere, people watching, family dinners for no reason, just because we could, Christmas with all the trimmings, visiting with all of his wonderful friends and, of course, a fond love for sweets! Walt welcomed friends with a drink, and many happy hours were spent with old friends reminiscing about how things used to be, how life was lived then and how so many are now gone. This strong, honest and awesome man left us July 6, 2012. Please join us to celebrate the life of this truly unique man on Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at 7pm at the Brown Creek Community Hall.

Notice of Passing MABEL SHELLOFF Mabel Shelloff, aged 71 years of Grand Forks, B.C., passed away peacefully July 13, 2012 at home. Mabel was born February 23, 1941 at Brilliant, B.C, the daughter of Lawrence and Mable Makeyff. Mabel grew up and received her schooling at Grand Forks, B.C. On October 11, 1958 Mabel was united in marriage to Nick Shelloff at Grand Forks. Mabel was a kind and good person. Mabel was a person who prided herself by her work and by always keeping busy. Growing flowers was a true passion of Mabel’s. Flowers adorned her window sills, living room, sidewalk, and front and back yards. Mabel loved to garden and when you looked for her summertime you could be assured a water hose was running and her flowers were being cared for. Mabel loved her husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and we all love her. We will never forget Mabel as a wife, mother and grandmother. We will deeply miss Mom. Mabel is forever in our memories. Mabel was predeceased by her parents and two brothers; Michael and Larry. Mabel is survived by her husband Nick; two sons, Phillip and Jack (Fran); her grandchildren, Shannon (Brent), Samantha (Tyler), Josie and Alan; and greatgrandchildren, Jayden, Benjamin and Colby. The Shelloff family would like to thank the ambulance attendants, Jerry Seminoff for officiating and Everett Baker and staff of Grand Forks Funeral Home for arrangements, guidance and help. Prayer services were held on July 17, 2012 at Grand Forks Funeral Home with internment at the USCC Doukhobor cemetery at Grand Forks, British Columbia. Thank you to all who attended Mabel’s Celebration of Life. Funeral arrangements entrusted Everett Baker of Grand Forks Funeral Home.

Notice of Passing ANNE OGLOFF Anne was born on August 5, 1929, at Nelson B.C., the youngest child of William and Mary Soukoroff. She grew up and received her schooling in Nelson. She left school after the sixth grade to work with her mother as a chambermaid. The family moved to Grand Forks where Anne worked in the potato factory and the box factory at Grand Forks Sawmill. Anne often spoke of moving to Grand Forks and the time she spent visiting her grandparents at the village. She went many places with her grandparents acting as their translator. Anne met Peter Ogloff, and they were married on May 11, 1952. Anne and Peter participated in the Grand Forks Friendship Choir and were lifelong members of the USCC. Anne loved to garden. She spent many hours tending her plants, and she provided her family with vegetables for many years. When not in her garden Anne was the organizer of their business. She took many phone calls throughout the day from people all over the valley asking for their gardens to be ploughed or their ﬁelds to be harvested. Anne’s education was ongoing as she read many books in English and in Russian. Anne listened to the CBC radio daily, and enjoyed discussing the many topics that caught her attention. She was very inquisitive and knowledgeable about health, gardening and current events. Anne was predeceased by her mother in 1981, father in 1991, brother Nick in 1999 and husband Peter in 2006. She is survived by two sons, Larry (Jacky) and Mike (Marita); two grandsons, Brian (Misty) and Daniel (Tanya); and two great-grandchildren, Tessa and Lucas. Anne passed away on July 8, 2012, in Annesley Manor of Hardy View Lodge at Grand Forks. The family would like to thank all of the staff at Annesley Manor and the home help workers for their wonderful care of our mother and grandmother. Thank you to the USCC ladies cooking group, the grave diggers, the singers and a special thank you to Jerry Seminoff for his wise words and understanding. A funeral service was held on Thursday, July 12, 2012, in the Chapel of the Grand Forks Funeral Home with burial following in the USCC Sion Cemetery at Grand Forks, B.C.
