NEWS ❚ JULY 20 WIND STORM

Storm causes damage, death KARL YU Gazette Editor

The wind storm that hit Grand Forks on the afternoon of July 20 led to power outages, damage and a fatality.

There were widespread reports of downed trees, wires and poles and collapsed houses along with the outages.

“The damage is all over the valley, right from North Fork Road, Granby Road through to Carson Road,” explained Grand Forks Fire Rescue Chief Dale Heriot on Friday night.

He said there were collapsed houses on McCallum View Drive, Carson Road, Almond Gardens East and Pines Bible Camp.

In terms of the bible camp, which is 8.5 km up the North Fork Road, a tree fell on a cabin and killed an 11-year-old boy, Richard Fehr.

On Monday evening, City of Grand Forks CAO Lynne Burch said that the city was continuing to clean up its parks, Evergreen Cemetery and city boulevards and roadways.

“We’re just in the clean up mode at this time,” she said, adding that on Friday night, between 4:30 until about 9 p.m., Grand Forks Fire Rescue received 25 calls for service and approximately 28 volunteer firefighters responded to those calls.

“The hardest hit (on Friday) was the Valmar subdivision, the next area would be the Ruckle addition – they did have some significant damage there,” Burch said.

The cemetery, BMX track, Grand Forks Credit Union parking lot and backyards throughout the city saw downed trees and other types of damage.

The city, which provides power to most of the residents within city limits, seemed largely unaffected by the storm, although there had to be power cut to certain areas on Friday night.

“We did have to disconnect

power for a period of time in some areas because there were trees over power lines and we couldn’t touch the trees without cutting the power first,” said Burch.

Residents serviced by FortisBC weren’t as lucky, particularly in the North Fork Road area as some were without power for most of the weekend.

Fortunately FortisBC crews worked around the clock to restore power and as of Tuesday morning, it said it was completing restoration work.

In a release Monday, FortisBC said it was working on the main line that services the North Fork area and on Tuesday, it said the line had been restored, although there were still some without power.

“There are a few pockets of customers without service and that’s a result of having specific damage (damaged transformers) and we’re working to specifically with them,” said FortisBC Director of Communications Joyce Wagenaar on Tuesday morning. “I’d say approximately 60 people are without power and we’re working directly with them to get them up and running as soon as possible.”

Wagenaar said it would be hard to estimate exactly when everything would be back to normal in terms of power.

She said that over the weekend, power was also restored to Ymir, Crawford Bay, Coffee Creek and Kaslo as well as to other areas of Grand Forks.

City council passed a resolution on Monday night where the city will provide refunds related to storm clean up.

“We’ll set up a program for that starting probably (today) and people who have removed debris from city boulevards, that was in cleaning up city property, if they bring their receipts to city hall from the landfill, the city will refund that money,” said Burch.

Christina Lake boy killed at bible camp KARL YU Gazette Editor

A Christina Lake boy at Pines Bible Camp in Grand Forks died after a tree fell through the cabin he was in on Friday (July 20).

According to the BC Coroners Service, Richard Fehr, 11, was attending the camp when a wind storm hit and the cabin he was in was crushed by a falling tree.

“At around 5 p.m. (on July 20) there was an incredible wind storm,” Pines Bible Camp Executive Director Gene Krahn told the Grand Forks Gazette on Friday night.

“A bunch of trees came down and fell on a lot of buildings, crushing some of them and unfortunately, there was one fatality. (Fehr) was unable to get out of the cabin. There was a cabin leader there that tried to get the camper out of the cabin and was unable to do so and (Fehr) died.”

Krahn said the cabin leader escaped with a minor injury on his head, all the other campers were fine and suffered only minor injuries as well.

“We’re pretty sad and devastated that this happened at a summer camp,” Krahn said. “We are incredibly sorry about the loss and our heart goes out to the family.”

Krahn visited Fehr’s family after the incident and said they were obviously distraught.

The campers had been swimming at a beach and were on their way up to the cabins and fortunately, a lot of them were not in the cabins.

Krahn said Fehr had just come up from the beach and said that he was changing and getting ready for supper.

Sarah Dalziel, a senior cabin leader at the bible camp, discussed what it was like when the winds hit.

“When the wind storm hit, I was walking up from the beach, so I was heading toward my cabin,” Dalziel explained. “I looked to the side and I saw the first three trees fall.”

She said that she ran to the back of a cabin and when she turned around she saw trees falling around fire pit.

Dalziel said that she had seen Fehr throughout the week at events such as campfires.

“Just (Thursday) he had teased me a bit during one of the games,” she said.

Krahn had praise for the bible camp staff, which he said was outstanding.

“They were able to get all the kids evacuated from the area safely and deal with injuries and things like that,” Krahn said. “We were able to take all the kids into the dining room and feed them supper.”

Along with the Gospel Chapel in Grand Forks, Pines Bible Camp is part of the B.C. Conference

PINES BIBLE CAMP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GENE KRAHN

of Mennonite Brethren Churches and Gospel Chapel Senior Pastor Henry Klassen said that his heart went out to the family.

“I think that’s the most important thing we have to focus on is a life has been lost and our hearts go out to Doug and Amy Fehr (Richard’s parents). We’re very saddened at the loss and many people have been telling me about how their hearts are going out to the family,” said Klassen, adding that he was amazed at the community support.

Grace McGregor, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Area C director, also said that the family had the condolences of the Christina Lake community; she informed people about the tragedy prior to a pancake breakfast as part of the Christina Lake Homecoming celebrations on Saturday.

“I did announce (Saturday) morning that (Fehr) was killed (Friday) night during the storm out at Pines Bible Camp and everyone is sending their sympathy out to the family and the whole community is affected by it,” said McGregor.

“We know it was an accident but that never takes the hurt away.”

Pines Bible Camp is located approximately 8.5 kilometres from Grand Forks, up North Fork Road. The BC Coroners Service continues to investigate Fehr’s death.

Friday’s storm likely microburst KARL YU Gazette Editor Minutes after arriving home and unwinding after a day of work, John and Fay Malins narrowly escaped injury when a tree came crashing through their living room ceiling during Friday’s storm.

❚ FOR THE RECORD The Grand Forks Gazette and others have referred to a company applying for exploration mining permits in the area as North American Stone Inc., in fact, the name of the company is North America Stone Inc. This is regarding a story last week entitled “Claim could allow North American Stone to remove 10,000-ton bulk sample.”

Despite the severity of the wind storm that blew through the Grand Forks and Christina Lake areas on Friday, it doesn’t look like it was a tornado.

“What happened on the weekend was a severe thunderstorm that developed south of the border and tracked north and the type of wind we have with that – from what I can tell from talking to other media that saw the aftermath – it sounded like it was a straight-line wind,” explained Doug Lundquist, a meteorologist for

Environment Canada.

“Often in those kind of situations, it comes as a microburst. We have rain falling into fairly dry air at some layer in the atmosphere. It evaporates and cools the air, the cold air becomes really dense and it falls really quickly and it hits the ground and spreads out ahead of (a) thunderstorm or from the thunderstorm in very, very strong winds.”

Lundquist said there can be a lot of damage with the strong winds associated with those types of thunderstorms, adding it was most likely severe thunderstorms with microbursts on Friday afternoon.

❚ Our View

Bravo FortisBC The fierce weather that occurred late Friday afternoon wasn’t limited to Grand Forks and Christina Lake.

Ymir, Crawford Bay, Coffee Creek and Kaslo were amongst other areas hit.

According to officials from the City of Grand Forks, customers of the city’s power utility were largely unaffected – although power had to be cut to some areas to deal with fallen trees – but residents of Christina Lake, North Fork Road, Granby Road and some other local FortisBC customers lost electricity.

FortisBC has been criticized in the past for rate increases and the like but it really stepped up to the plate as it were.

Christina Lake residents were without power for Friday night. The homecoming wine and cheese reception at the welcome centre was done by candlelight and the Christina Lake Fire Department had to lend a generator in order for coffee to be made at the Christina Lake Community Hall for the homecoming pancake breakfast but power was restored by noon on Saturday.

The evening’s festivities went on with electricity to power the microphones and sound systems in the hall for entertainment.

Residents up the North Fork were without power for a longer period of time but the sounds of FortisBC workers and subcontractors could be heard late Saturday and into early Sunday as they repaired the number of power lines and poles that toppled due to the winds on Friday.

By Sunday night a number of people on North Fork Road had power back and according to Joyce Wagenaar, FortisBC’s director of communications, the company (as of Monday) was in the final stages of restoring power to customers affected by the storm, including other areas of North Fork Road.

She said FortisBC was hoping to have the main line that services the North Fork area repaired, although she said even after that is repaired there may be specific damage to customers and it would prioritize restoration to those customers.

Still, FortisBC had a large area to cover thanks to the storms and while many customers were without power for a couple of days, it could’ve been a lot longer.

Sure workers are and were handsomely compensated for their time but they still had to put the hours in, long hours.

FortisBC might be criticized a lot but in this case, they deserve praise.

Question of the Week from www.grandforksgazette.ca Is between $700,000 and $1 million too high a price range for a fire engine?

YES 46%

There’s nothing like a little holiday Editor’s note: This column was written before Friday’s tragedy.

It’s an itch of anticipation that leaves your fingers tapping and toes wiggling. When your eyes are constantly drawn to the clock every few hours and that sigh that escapes from your lips when you realize it’s only been a few minutes.

It’s those mornings when you reach for your red pen to cross off another day on the calendar and the steady mental countdown in your head, repeating itself over and over again.

It’s a familiar feeling that everyone gets once in a while; you know the feeling.

Sometimes it’s a countdown to the end of a week for that long-awaited getaway, other times it’s simply for a celebratory get-together with family or friends.

For me, it’s a chance to visit

friends and family back home in Toronto.

In March, when I first got my plane tickets, it seemed like July couldn’t come soon enough.

However, it’s always a surprise to see the days, weeks and months fly by – June went by in a blink of an eye.

My friend flew in last week to join me for a week of galloping trips and mini-adventures around town.

We were eaten alive by blood-sucking mosquitoes at times (I can’t get over how huge they are here; huge I tell you!), while other excursions were more leisurely paced.

We certainly have a few tales

to share amongst friends when we land at Pearson Airport.

It’s her first time out west and while she’ll always remain a city girl, she’s fallen in love with the easily-accessible nature, winding trails and scenic views. Though, I think she could’ve done without the crazy storms.

Regardless, it’s been funfilled, with lots of laughter and deliciously yummy baking experiments.

As the clock continues to tick away, I get ever more antsy with a dash of giddiness. I’m looking forward to reorganizing my bookshelves, jumping on my brother’s bed and being an overall pest to him, and latenight fests with the girls.

And yes, I am already anticipating feasting on my mom’s deliciously cooked foods and working on whatever tasks my dad has planned around the house.

LETTERS ❚ MINING

Clearing up some facts Editor: Re: Claim could allow North America Stone to remove 10,000ton bulk sample (story, July 11 issue of the Grand Forks Gazette) Gazette) In Cassandra Chin’s article on July 11 about the proposed granite mine, there was some misinformation and a lot of information left out: 1. Al Ludwig is NOT from the Ministry of Energy and Mines, he is merely a consultant hired by the Ministry of Mines because Glen Hendrickson was too busy to be at the meeting.

2. Ludwig told us there is never public input concerning whether there should be a mine or not.

Check out this link : www.sierraclub.bc.ca/ publications/general/ mineral-tenure-act-reform-for-municipalities 3. There is a stream right where they mapped out their skid trail! It flows into the Granby River, which is less than 500 metres away.

4. Rick Mitchell stated that Crack-it would not be harmful. Anything in large enough quantities is harmful, and they’re going to have to use a LOT of Crack-it to get 10,000 TONS of rock busted loose.

5. Ludwig stated the Lynch Creek site is good because it’s far enough away from anything.

There are three homes, 300-500 metres from the mine site. Would you want a mine 500 metres from your home?

6. In five years, they can re-apply for another ‘sample’ (10,000 tonnes).

No environmental review, or democratic process.

7. They told us that only one local person will be

hired for approximately one month, to build roads. The blocks will be shipped to Vancouver, then shipped directly to China. Our back yard, roads, wildlife and river suffer, yet there is miniscule local economic benefit.

This site is extremely sensitive. There is documentation of a red-listed plant on the site called Cup Clover, and there are “at risk” cliff dwelling birds there. It is prime Western skink, rubber boa snake and rattlesnake habitat. All three are designated as species at risk. It is a very narrow wildlife corridor used by wildlife for migration. If there’s a huge hole in the ground, it would effectively block migration routes because of the steep cliffs on both sides.

❚ STORM

Kudos to ER teams Editor: All of us are grateful, or should be, for the response teams who worked in dangerous conditions to right the devastation after the storm that took out power, did damage and took a young life. Our hearts go out to that family and their friends. We hear the reports of brave young people at Pines Bible Camp who helped younger campers from the terrors. Congratulations for your bravery – I am sure those sentiments go out from all the church communities in town.

Our thanks go out and others who do not go to church would feel the same as well, I trust.

Well done.

The response teams that are righting the devastation need all of us to thank them. I know I am so grateful that when we got home from church on Sunday our power on Son Ranch Road was on, and I could start putting all the emergency candles away and start to do the wash. We had no complaints – all the trees up here will be

❚ OPINION great fire wood and none of us on our road were hurt.

We learned a lot about what we should have for survival, as we are likely to get more weird weather with global warming and scientists telling us this is what is in store. My list is getting rather long: a battery radio, candles, a generator that works, a water source that is available without power, flashlights to be worn on heads, propane full bottles and food stored in canning jars or bottles.

A good producing garden to share with others ... My list is growing as I think of these things not so much for me, but my grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, as the planet is telling us something very important. “Stop destroying me,” is what our planet is saying as the greed goes on and on.

Thanks again to crews and all those who helped their neighbours in small and big ways with comfort and love and practical things like making generators work, and hauling water, and giving comfort and hugs.

Summer Snow Bird Party

Environmentalism failing On May 2, David Suzuki declared on rabble.ca that environmentalism had failed. His admission came after decades of work on environmental issues.

The environmental movement was launched in 1962, the year ROY RONAGHAN that Rachel Carson published Silent Spring in response to the introduction of DDT, an organochlorine insecticide. Carson documented the terrible consequences of the pesticide that had been invented by Paul Mueller, who was awarded a Nobel Price in 1948 when he demonstrated what DDT could do. Suzuki says that we have made the environment another special interest, like education and health care. We have separated it out. We have labelled it as “the environment.” What we neglected to do was to protect it, not realizing that our lives, health and livelihoods depend on a healthy biosphere: air, water, soil, sunlight and biodiversity. Humans have gradually modified Earth according to their needs. They neglected to develop the critical understanding that everything is interconnected and that “Mother Earth” is the source of all that matters in their lives.

The predominant view of Earth is that it revolves around us – an “anthropocentric” view. We create departments that deal with the pieces of the whole and fail to look at the health and well being of the whole – the biodiversity that sustains all life.

We focus on the unlimited resources the Earth can provide and the economies that can be built with their extraction.

Suzuki says, “It’s almost a cliché to refer to a ‘paradigm shift’ but that is what we need to meet the challenge of the environmental crisis our species have created. That means adopting a ‘biocentric’ view that recognizes we are part and dependent on the web of life that keeps the planet habitable for a demanding animal like us.”

In response, Raffi Cavoukian, an ecology advocate as well as a songwriter and children’s entertainer, published an essay on May 23 on rabble.ca Cavoukian asked, “What now? What caused the failure? What is to be learned? What do environmental organization supporters and concerned citizens do now? What do we say to our children, and to young advocates? Where’s the new strategy road ahead?”

The cause of the failure can be placed squarely on the growth of corporate concentration, power and dominance over the natural world and the human population. The takeover has been embraced because it provided the jobs needed to support an extravagant way of life, particularly in the western world.

Nature became “the environment” and we became separated from it. Environmentalism became a divisive force. Groups scattered their energy as they worked to save a special habitat or protect a species, or save a special area. Activist “environmentalists” were fiercely pitted against those who were not. Can environmental organizations reinvent themselves and adopt a new mandate, or do they close shop? Doing nothing is not an option. Cavoukian suggests, “It’s time to be daring. Funders and supporters are seeking out transformation agents and catalyst ideas. They might look to those bold visions for social transformation. Organizationally, ‘less is more’ maybe the way ahead. Increasingly, people and groups are enjoying a partnering synergy made easy by social media.”

Children will be an important component of our future work. They must be encouraged to speak and they have a right to be heard because it is they who must live with what has been created for them.

Cavoukian suggests that humanity is in a survival crisis – a crisis of identity, conscience and spirit. “We need a lexicon for reframing global issues into a connected whole, a unified lens ‘for seeing the world anew,’ a language of waves not particles. One that connects and inspires, uplifts everyday life.”

NEWS ❚ HUMAN RIGHTS

B&B owners lose rights case KARL YU Gazette Editor

The operators of the now-closed Riverbend Bed and Breakfast, must pay over $4,500 in a BC Human Rights Tribunal case ruling after refusing service to a gay couple.

Les and Sue Molnar operated the bed and breakfast in Grand Forks, B.C. between 2007 and September 2009 and refused service to Shaun Eadie and Brian Thomas in June 2009 after finding out the two were gay.

The Molnars cited religious beliefs; they are members of the Mennonite Brethren Church.

Eadie and Thomas subsequently filed a complaint against the Molnars, saying that they were discriminated against based on their sexual orientation but the Molnars said that they had a constitutionally protected right to freedom of religion, according to the human rights tribunal decision.

In the decision, BC Human Rights Tribunal member Enid Marion said that The Riverbend was not operated by a church or religious organization and while the Riverbend was operated by individuals with “sincere religious beliefs respecting same-sex couples, and out of a portion of their personal residence, it was still a commercial activity.”

Marion said, “It was the Molnars’ personal and voluntary choice to start up the business in their personal residence.”

The Molnars will pay Eadie and Thomas each

the sum of $1,500 for injury to dignity, feelings and self-respect according to the ruling.

As well, because of adjourned hearing dates, the Molnars will pay each of them $340 for travel and accommodation (related to a second hearing) and $403 to Eadie and $447 to Thomas for lost wages.

“We don’t hold any ill-will against anybody, against the complainants or the human rights tribunal or anybody else – we never have,” Les Molnar told the Grand Forks Gazette.

“We will respect the tribunal’s decision and we won’t be proceeding any further on an appeal,” he said.

Thomas said he and Eadie were happy with the tribunal’s decision.

“We’re very pleased with the ruling,” Thomas said. “It’s a very decisive ruling. It left no grey area, it was a clear-cut case and this reflects that.”

Thomas also said he didn’t have any ill-will to the Molnars or Grand Forks for that matter.

“We harbour no ill-will nor do we view this as a reflection on Grand Forks itself; there are wonderful people who live there,” he said.

“My partner’s aunt lives there – that’s what brought us out there – and we certainly do not think that everybody in Grand Forks has the same sentiments as the Molnars and we also don’t think they’re bad people, we just think they made a bad decision.”

Thomas added that Eadie and he could be here in the next few weeks.

❚ LEGAL

Piche in court Sept 10, LaFreniere on Aug. 21 CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Allen Piche, a.k.a. The Bear Dude, is currently awaiting sentencing for the production of controlled substances and possession for purposes of trafficking.

Piche was in court for remand on July 17, but a decision will not be made until Monday, Sept. 10. A remand is a decision that can push the case to another date.

Piche was recently fined $6,900 for feeding dangerous wildlife but won’t face jail time for those charges.

Under the Wildlife Act, Piche could’ve face a maximum penalty of $100,000 in fines and a year in jail.

He was originally charged in August 2010, when human-fed habituated bears were discovered on his property during an RCMP investigation related to a marijuana grow operation.

In 2011, he pleaded guilty to feeding over 20 black bears on his property at Christina Lake in the 2010 case.

Another investigation conducted last summer found that Piche was still feeding bears and he was charged again with the same offences. *** Tim LaFreniere will be in Kelowna for a three-day trial starting on Tuesday, Aug. 21.

LaFreniere is charged with aggravated assault after a fight that occurred at the “Moto” party spot (east of Grand Forks) on May 13.

â?š POLLUTION/TRAFFIC

Grand Forks Hotel still in limbo Buses, congestion bothers CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

There is still no word yet on what will occur to the site of the Grand Forks Hotel, where pieces of rubble remain.

Property owner Bob Smith still has no idea what is happening. “I’ve been phoning them and everything else, but all they come up with is that they’re still looking at a contamination aspect in the report,� he said. “Apparently, there was asbestos lining on the pipes in there so they’re tying us all up for that.�

Future plans for the site where the hotel stood

have yet to be determined because the process is taking so long, added Smith. “I wish I knew what was going on,� he said. “It’s driving me nuts.�

The historic Grand Forks Hotel was completely destroyed and the Winnipeg Hotel damaged due to a pair of early-morning fires on March 7.

According to Boundary Regional RCMP, police were responding to a report of a fire at the Grand Forks Hotel at about 3 a.m. when a fire was detected at the Winnipeg Hotel on Central Avenue in Grand Forks.

The Winnipeg Hotel was smoke damaged, but the Grand Forks Hotel remains vacant at the corner of Central Avenue and 2nd Street.

Just Imagine Flooring burglarized KARL YU Gazette Editor

A large amount of merchandise was stolen from Just Imagine Flooring in Grand Forks last week.

On July 18 at 9:47 a.m., a break-and-enter was reported and police estimate it took place between 6 p.m. the previous night and 9 a.m.

Entry was gained through the back entrance.

“There was a pile of painting accessories – brushes, rollers, flooring tools, tile cutters and about 60 gallons (about 227 litres) – one gallon cans – of Cloverdale Paint, that was stolen,� said Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. As well, a laptop computer and cash were taken. Harrison said the matter is still under investigation and anyone with information can call Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288.

Donaldson resident CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Residents living on Donaldson Drive in Grand Forks have noted the increasing congestion of idling trucks and speeding vehicles.

Carol Storrings has lived on the east side of Donaldson Drive for six years and pointed out that the issue is ongoing. “You can smell the fumes through the house when the trucks or Greyhounds are idling,� she noted. “In the winter I understand, but I don’t understand why during the nighttime or whenever.�

Storrings noted that speeding trucks and the use of air breaks have been an issue and speeding cars are also a concern as well. “They’ll stop right in front of my house to use their cell phones or write in their log or whatever and have their trucks idling,� she added. “I couldn’t get out of my driveway if I wanted to.�

Storrings said the idling lasts as long as 10 to 15 minutes, and occurs throughout the day.

Greyhound buses also have a tendency to idle, she stated.

Greyhound was contacted but did not respond as of press time. “I know it’s industrial, but my side of the street is residential and the way the traffic and trucks drive up here, someone will get hurt and not just the deer,� Storrings concluded. “At nighttime, they’re in the parking stall across my lot and they’re there at 3 a.m. idling in the morning waiting to unload the containers down the road, and it’s not the noise that bothers me.�

In Grand Forks, the anti-idling bylaw states, “No person shall cause or permit a vehicle to idle for more than three consecutive minutes.�

The bylaw, No. 1836, notes that to “idle� means the operation of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle while the vehicle is not in motion.

NEWS ❚ ENVIRONMENT

Water quality monitored CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

After reports of high nitrate levels in Grand Forks’ water wells several years ago, water quality in the area has been monitored to ensure residents’ health.

The BC Ministry of Environment in Victoria and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations has been monitoring the water wells in the Grand Forks area since the 1990s.

Sasha Bird, city manager of technical services and utilities, noted that a full report is currently underway. The recent Kettle River Watershed report has also listed nitrate levels in Grand Forks as a part of its study of the watershed.

“While we have not reviewed the water quality data for the City of Grand Forks’ wells in detail, there are locations in the Grand Forks area that show nitrate levels are declining,” explained Bird. “Our consultant’s current assignment will be to look specifically at nitrate levels in both the city wells and from the larger network of wells to identify if levels are rising and if they are an issue.”

Nitrate-nitrogen is a groundwater contaminant of greatest concern, with the highest levels generally found in the shallowest wells. The concentration decreases with well depth.

The Kettle River Watershed study also found that though there is relatively little information on groundwater quality in public domain, Grand Forks does have some statistics.

Hugh Hamilton, the project manager for the study from Summit Environmental, stated, “Nitrate has been the contaminant of greatest interest. Concentrations of nitrate-N have exceeded

LAST

the 10 mg/L drinking water guideline, especially in the southeast part of the aquifer (in the Kettle watershed).”

Bird added that several things could cause contamination from nitrates, including fertilizers, septic systems and sites with concentrated livestock wastes.

“The most likely sources in the Grand Forks area are thought to be fertilizer application and residential sewage disposal (septic) fields,” Bird said. “There isn’t much that can be done about sewage disposal fields, except limit the residential development density in areas that are not serviced by the community sewer.”

Nitrate found in drinking water due to fertilizer use could be caused from water runoff from fields.

In regards to fertilizer use, Bird explained that Lorraine Thompson – who used to be a representative of Agriculture Canada in Grand Forks 10 years ago – worked with the local agricultural community and the previously informal Grand Forks Aquifer Protection Committee.

“Thompson used to promote more conservative fertilizer application methods,” said Bird.

The Kettle River Watershed study pointed out that nitrate-nitrogen groundwater levels range from <0.01 mg/L to >30 mg/L, with a median of 3.4 mg/L. The Canadian Drinking Water Guideline is 10 mg/L nitrate-nitrogen level.

“I would like to think that this has contributed to some of the declining levels we are seeing,” concluded Bird. “Having said this, more public awareness and further reduction in fertilizer use will go a long way to managing nitrate levels in the Grand Forks Aquifer.”

The final evaluation report for the Grand Forks area nitrate levels is due Sunday, Sept. 30.

North Van teacher runs in protest of Bill 22 Cunliffe begins journey Aug. 8 in Grand Forks Aug. 18 CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

A North Vancouver teacher will be running 1,000 kilometres across British Columbia to raise awareness of Bill 22, the province’s Education Improvement Act. Ian Cunliffe plans to begin his journey in Sparwood, B.C. on Wednesday, Aug. 8 and head west from there, arriving in Grand Forks on Wednesday, Aug. 18.

Cunliffe has been a teacher for the past seven years and he has seen a lot of changes to the educational system.

“Most of the changes have not been positive,” he said. “It’s hard to spend time with each student individually when there are too many of them in a classroom. Most students that come into my classroom come with different concerns and needs. Some children need help in other areas that others may not.”

Cunliffe noted that a teacher’s job is to motivate and inspire kids.

“I see many great problems and with the removal of class size limits for Grades 4 and up, the tendency will be to gradually increase class sizes,” he said. “It’s all about cost savings. If you can increase class sizes by 10 per cent, you’ve just saved 10 per cent of your labour costs.”

During his run, other teachers may join Cunliffe on some portions, but he will ultimately be completing the journey by himself.

“I’ve had a lot of support from private citizens but I’m still working to gain support along my run,” he said. “Having someone to drive my support vehicle from each leg, so I’m still looking for places to stay and shower, but the support is coming in.”

After each leg of his cross-province journey, Cunliffe will be speaking to local parent advisory committees, teachers and the public about the issues Bill 22 raises.

Norm Sabourin, president of the Boundary District Teachers’ Association, noted that the teachers are going to try and host a rally when Cunliffe arrives in Grand Forks.

“We’re thinking of having it at Gyro Park, across from Overwaitea,” he said. “We’re still working out the details. We’ll also be doing something at Deadwood Junction in Greenwood the next day.”

A new contract between the B.C. Teacher’s Federation and the provincial government was ratified at the end of June, but teachers remain unhappy.

The deal is retroactive to 2011 and runs until June 30 of next year.

The Boundary Driver Volunteer Program has provided services to over 300 citizens across the Boundary since it began last November.

The programs drives citizens of Grand Forks, Christina Lake, Greenwood, Midway, Rock Creek, and surrounding areas who require assistance to access medical appointments or visits to care centres.

Lisa Fichtenberg, co-ordinator of the program and office manager for Boundary Community Hospice Association, stated there have been more people who have called for services that previously expected.

Hospice provides palliative care for physical, psychological, social, spiritual and practical support to people living with a life-threatening illness.

“We’re doing a lot of drives to Kelowna and Trail mostly, and some to Castlegar,” she said. “It’s for people who have appointments or upcoming surgeries, that don’t require an ambulance.”

Fichtenberg noted that a quarter of the rides are also subsidized for those who can’t afford to pay for the rides.

“The program is available seven days a week, though mostly runs Monday to Friday because that’s typically when appointments are,”

she added. “If they need a ride they call me and I hook them up with a driver.”

Drivers are matched with the customer so that everyone is comfortable.

This means that female drivers are paired with female passengers, or vice versa, Fichtenberg stated.

“We try to do a good match up with the drivers because they’re spending a fair bit of time with them,” she said. “So far we haven’t had to turn down anybody, which is really good.”

The Boundary Volunteer Driver Program currently has 17 drivers spread throughout the Boundary area, with eight in Grand Forks.

“Only two trips were cancelled due to the weather during winter, but they were non-necessary appointments for consultations and they were able to be rescheduled for a later time,” said Fichtenberg.

Another successful endeavor has been pairing up multiple people on rides. “We’ve been able to double or triple rides if we have two or three people going to Trail at the same time,” she said. “It’s nice because it saves the clients money as well.”

Though the program is running successfully right now, volunteers around the Boundary are always welcome, she added.

To book an appointment, contact Fichtenberg at 250-42-8331.

What happens to our Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) that we have set up for our kids when we divorce?

Ultimately it will be settled or determined in your separation or divorce agreement. If one of the spouses is not an original subscriber, the Income Tax Act permits that person to become a subscriber following the division of property under any order or judgement. However, you both may choose to stay on as joint subscribers and contribute separately to the plan. In this case, see to it that you each keep accurate records as to your contributions. That way, if in the future there is any question as to who contributed what amounts, you will have this information available to settle any disputes. Another option would be to transfer the assets 50/50 or whatever determined amount to a RESP in each of the parents names. That way each is responsible for their respective contributions and can deal with the funds in the future as they see Àt when their child goes to school.

In this case, the government will add up all contributions attributed to each beneÀciary in order to apply the various grant limits.

It’s always best to discuss your situation with a proper advisor prior to making any drastic decisions that can affect your future situation.

Q. A.

Can a tenant withhold rent because their landlord isn’t properly maintaining their building or unit?

The tenant must pay the rent on time, unless the tenant is permitted under the Act to deduct from the rent with an order from a Dispute Resolution OfÀcer.

The landlord must provide and maintain the residential property in a reasonable state of decoration and repair, suitable for occupation by a tenant. The landlord must comply with health, safety and housing standards required by law. If the landlord is required to make a repair to comply with the above obligations, the tenant may discuss it with the landlord. If the landlord refuses to make the repair, the tenant may apply for dispute resolution under the Act for the completion and costs of the repair.

Under the Act the tenant has responsibilities as well, which will be covered in a future issue.

Q

Insurance Broker Commercial Insurance and Life Licensed

Is it better to purchase a Term Life insurance policy to protect my loan or mortgage, or to insure with the financial institution that holds my loan?

A

This is a question that tends to leave clients confused about how to insure a loan or mortgage. Some people are not aware that they have an option to purchase their own Term Life insurance policy to cover their mortgage instead of purchasing what the bank is offering.

Both types of policies will protect you in the event of death, however, the life insurance policy offered through the bank is completely owned and controlled by the bank. A term life insurance purchased through a life agent is owned and controlled by you.

“Mortgage” insurance protects only one thing – the amount owing on the mortgage. If you were to pass away, the mortgage gets paid. The value of a term life insurance product does not decrease as your mortgage decreases. So for example, if your mortgage is $100,000 today and you purchased a term life insurance policy to cover that amount, 20 years from now your mortgage may be down to $30,000. Your term life insurance policy remains at $100,000. Upon death, the family would receive the full $100,000. They could then use $30,000 to pay off the balance owing on the mortgage and have $70,000 left to invest or use for other financial needs that may exist.

The flexibility and freedom of term life policy not only protects you now but also gives you and your family protection for the future needs that may arise.

❚ ROTARY EXCHANGE

GFSS’ Hecht heading to Switzerland CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Grand Forks Secondary Student (GFSS) David Hecht will be heading off to Switzerland for a Rotary exchange program for a year.

This is Hecht’s first time on an exchange and he’s looking forward to the trip, which he will embark on, on Friday, Aug. 10.

“I’m going to stay with three or four families, and I’ll be switching between them for a year and then I’ll go to school with the students there,” he said. “In return, someone from one of my host families will be coming to Canada, but they will be going to Vancouver.”

Hecht will be spending Grade 11 in another country before returning to graduate in Grand Forks.

However, this isn’t anything new for

his family.

His brother Thomas spent a year in France in 2004/05, and his sister Nicole was able to do an exchange in Germany in 2003/04. Both of them enjoyed the trips.

“There will probably be some culture shock,” he added. “They all speak pretty good English but I want to speak German so I’m going to make them speak German all the time.”

Hecht explained that in order to go on this trip, he had to go through several interviews before he was selected.

“The host family will pay for room and board, but your family has to go pay for the rest,” he said. “It’ll be a good experience.”

Antoine Strukoff, another GFSS student, has already left for a summer exchange program in Brazil for a year.

International Forest Products Limited’s (Interfor) mill in Grand Forks will be participating in a provincial tree house competition amongst the province’s biggest mills, architects and builders.

In it’s first year, Canfor’s Playhouse Challenge was designed to be a collaborative challenge between companies in the forestry industry.

Amanda Ribeiro, media relations co-ordinator for Laura Ballance Media Group Inc., said, “Canfor has challenged B.C.’s top forestry companies to team up with architects and builders across the province to create children’s playhouses.

These playhouses will be auctioned off to corporate donors and donated to children’s charities across the province.”

Ribeiro noted that all money raised would go towards Habitat for Humanity Canada.

“Interfor has a mill in Grand Forks and will be one of the big forestry companies who will be participating,” she added. “They will be on display during PNE (Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver, B.C.) so people can see the finished playhouse.”

Interfor Vice-President Steven Hofer noted that though Interfor has nine mills across British Columbia, Washington and Oregon, only the Canadian mills would be participating.

“What we’re trying to do is provide a broad base of material that reflects the very diverse group of lumber products that our company manufactures,” he said.

Interfor has been paired with architect Michael Green Architecture Inc. and builder Blackfish Homes and Construction Limited.

“Michael Green is one of the most renowned international architects that focus on the use of wood, both in residential and commercial applications,” Hofer explained. “Michael has a preliminary design for the Interfor playhouse and we’re just fine-tuning the design and the material requirements at this point.”

Hofer also noted Blackfish Homes is one of the

most reputable builders in the Lower Mainland and will execute the building of the playhouse designed by Michael Green.

“The playhouses are really meant to showcase wood products that are manufactured in B.C. in a creative and fun way,” Hofer said. “It’s going to be a great environment in the PNE where the kids who visit the fair will have a chance to experience all the hard work and creativity that has gone into the design and construction.”

He added, “It’s a great initiative, where both the playhouses will be further utilized long-term by children across British Columbia, as well as proceeds to be used from Habitat for Humanity and their various initiatives.”

Materials from Interfor will be shipped to North Vancouver, where Blackfish Homes is located, and the playhouse will be constructed there.

There are eight different teams in total, with eight participating forestry companies, eight architects, and eight builders.

The completed playhouses can be viewed at the PNE in Vancouver, B.C. from Saturday, Aug. 18 to Monday, Sept. 3.

KARL YU Gazette Editor

As part of the 2012 Christina Lake Homecoming festivities on Saturday night, a Christina Lake theme song was introduced as part of the entertainment at the community hall.

Entitled Come home to the Lake, the song was written earlier that day by a group of locals and Sunshine Coast singer/ songwriter Lowry Olafson, who is in the area as part of a B.C. tour, performing concerts and writing theme songs with organizations.

Olafson helped students at Christina Lake Elementary write a song entitled 50 years of learning last year, and the song was also performed that night.

“What we did was brainstorm ideas. We came up with a lot of phrases. Ideas because we knew we wanted to write a song about Christina Lake,” Olafson explained.

“We filled a page full of words, phrases and pictures, smells and sounds and all the things that talked about Christina Lake – the history and a lot of things like that.”

Olafson said the idea of people going away and coming home and how Christina Lake can seem welcoming to firsttimers were themes that were explored.

Bob Dupee, Christina Lake resident and one of the song-

writers, said that the song came together quite quickly, as the group started at 9 a.m. that morning and finished about 1 p.m.

“It was an amazing collection of young people, old people and middle-aged people, all from Christina Lake and Lowry Olafson came to pull us together,” Dupee explained.

“We started making lists on a chart and we started putting together a title for the song and the title came, and with the title came this music. From there, we started piecing together the next line, we put together a chorus and then we started talking about the things that were important to us at Christina Lake.”

The idea of a theme song had been something that Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Area C Director Grace McGregor had been thinking about for a while.

“I’ve been talking about (a song) for a couple of years and we had never really found the right time or the right person,” McGregor said, adding that Dupee had worked with Olafson, as well as the elementary school.

“It provides a sense of community and when people are part of creating that, it just gives you that goose-bumpy feeling all over,” she said.

Cycling club cancels races due to storm tragedy BOB MacLEAN Grand Forks Cycling Club

The Grand Forks Cycling Club decided to cancel the three scheduled provincial master’s races out of respect for the people who suffered tragedies in the wake of the raging wind storm Friday night (July 20).

Pierre Peron, race director, stated, “Our concern for the community takes precedent over any provincial racing. It is not in our hearts to have fun with such devastation around us.”

The cyclists from around the province applauded the local club’s decision and passed a collection box around, raising $500 for a start up relief fund for the victims. Racing event food and hydration liquids, donated by Overwaitea, Buy Low and Pharmasave were also donated to the grief-counselling centre.

Moreover, the North Fork Road was dangerous to cycle and riding on the road would have interfered with damage control. Makeshift routes were considered but safety to cyclists would have been compromised. A change of cycling routes could have been annoying to motorists as well.

We look forward to hosting the event next year.

The club applauds the efforts of all the rescue groups and sends best wishes to the affected families.

Pierre Peron (left), race director for the Provincial Master’s Cycling Race in Grand Forks, explains that the races are being cancelled due to Friday night’s wind storm tragedy that affected the community and impassable roads. The cyclists donated $500 to start a relief fund.

How Cute is Your Pet?

Gazette Reporter

Grand Forks International (GFI) organizing committee will be introducing a passport program at this year’s tournament, which runs from Aug. 29 to Sept. 3.

The passports will be available for fans at James Donaldson Park, in which they can then visit participating businesses to have their passports stamped.

Passport holders have a chance at prizes near the end of the tournament.

Gerry Foster, GFI co-ordinator, said that while the passport program isn’t a unique idea, this is the first time the GFI has done it.

“I thought about this quite a while ago and spoke to someone in the business community who helps with the GFI and said it would be a good idea,” he said. “People will be able to pick up the passports at the ballpark when the tournament starts.”

Within the passport, there will be names and

addresses of businesses that want to be a part of the program.

“The idea is that you take your passport and you go to these businesses and ask for them to stamp their passport,” he explained. “Once they get the passport filled up, we’ll have a draw towards the end of the tournament and we’re going to have two draws of $150 and possibly a third draw for 2012-2013 tournament pass.”

Businesses are asked to put in $10 to be a part of the passport, which Foster pointed out, is also good advertising for them as well.

“We’re aiming to get customers into businesses in Grand Forks and to promote businesses during tournament week,” he said. “It will promote businesses and add some excitement to fans who are visiting.”

The businesses are mostly downtown retail businesses, but there will be around 30 businesses participating.

Businesses can still sign up for $10 but slots are filling up quickly. For more information, call 250-442-8323 or visit grandforksbaseball.com.

❚ SOCCER

Drop-in soccer for adults at GFSS field CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

A drop-in soccer league has started up for the summer at the Grand Forks Secondary School field.

Organizer Tim Carson hopes to draw in enough people into the league to eventually enter tournaments.

“We tried to get into (a) Kamloops tournament in June but it was a bit of a short notice,” he said, though there was a lot of interest.

There are enough players for two nights a week, with around 18 people showing up for practices.

“Everybody’s learning quickly about positioning and what not because we have a lot of beginners playing as well,” said Carson. “It works out pretty well – we had a 50-50 mix for boys and girls and it was a fantastic game.”

Carson decided to start the league up after helping the high school’s soccer team last year and fell in love with the sport again. He used to play in the boy’s team during his high school

years in Grand Forks and feels that it’s a good community event.

He also pointed out that there aren’t many community adult sports in Grand Forks aside from baseball.

“I thought, why not, all these kids want to keep playing, so we started up at the end of March and beginning of April,” he recalled. “We started playing outside on Sundays, but now we’re playing Sundays and Mondays for the summer.”

There is no registration required and it is free for anyone to drop in and play, though Carson hopes to get a contact list started.

‘I’m hoping to go right through fall and if we get enough interest, I would love to go right through winter if we can get a good time in the gym to turn it indoor,” he said. “Indoor is quicker and helps to develop skills. If we can do that, next year when we get to play in tournaments, watch out!”

The soccer league welcomes everyone 13 years and older, male or female.

Games are held on at 7 p.m. at the Grand Forks Secondary School field.

Notice of Passing RICHARD ANTHONY FEHR June 16, 2001 to July 20, 2012 It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Richard Anthony Fehr. Richard went to be with his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, on July 20, 2012. Richard loved his family deeply and lived life to the fullest. We were blessed to have had him with us, and we will miss him so very much. He was a loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend. His beautiful smile and gentle spirit was a gift to all who truly knew him. Richard has left his footprints on the hearts of many.

He is survived by his mom, Amy; dad, Doug; brother, Eric; grandparents, Raffaella and Dercey D’Andrea; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

A memorial service will be held at the Christina Lake Community Hall on Saturday, July 28, 2012, at 2:30 p.m., with Father Matthieu Gombo Yange, OfmCap presiding. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the SPCA. Richard and his Nonno loved to visit the animals there. Condolences may be sent to gffh@shaw.ca. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Everett Baker of Grand Forks Funeral Home.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Save the veins bracelets available INTERIOR HEALTH Submitted

For a dialysis patient, healthy veins are a life line. But sometimes when renal staff plan to create a permanent vascular access (called an AV fistula) to facilitate the necessary blood flow for hemodialysis, they find a patient’s veins have been damaged from previous IVs or lab work.

Renal staff have been working with Interior Health’s IV therapy team on ways to better preserve veins for these patients and many of these strategies have been successful. Still, Interior Health Vascular Access Co-ordinator Angela Romyn wondered if there was more that could be done. In a great example of innovation and patient-centered thinking, she came up with the idea of Save the Veins bracelets. These are bright purple rubber bracelets similar to the popular “Livestrong”

-

bracelets.

“We have had people ask about a bracelet and thought this would be an extra step to build awareness among patients and various hospital departments,” says Angela.

“This is a first in the province and when Angela shared this idea with the provincial group, they were really excited and would like to adopt it,” says Sue Bannerman, Interior Health Regional Director, Renal Program. “Like they say, good things come in small packages. This small thing could make a big difference to our renal patients.”

The bracelets are being distributed throughout Interior Health to all pre-dialysis and hemodialysis areas for patients who wish to wear one. “It is our hope that these bracelets will help with the flagging and education of pre-dialysis and hemodialysis patients and also empower patients in the protection of their own veins,” says Angela.

The bracelets are free - of charge.

They are not mandatory for patients to wear and they do not replace the BC Renal Agency wallet card.

For more information, contact Angela at angela.romyn@interiorhealth.ca, or 250-8624189.

Notice of Passing BOYD LEONARD JOHNSON Boyd Leonard Johnson (Boyd Johannson), born at Pangman, Saskatchewan, on August 23, 1937, passed away on July 17, 2012. Boyd was brought up in a large family as one of 14 siblings.

At an early age, he left Saskatchewan and ended up in B.C. to work for the telephone company. It was then that he met his wife, Carol at the Burnaby office.

Before long, they were married and after a few quick moves ended up at Grand Forks. Within the space of seven years, they had their four kids: Corie, Cindy, Derek and Brian.

From then on, it was a blur of activity. Boyd not only worked for BC Tel, but he also was very involved with the Phoenix Ski Hill and was the general manager for the better part of a decade. He loved the ski hill and made sure he did “his 10,000 vertical” each day. In the summer, he turned his attention to farming, letting his Saskatchewan roots show. He had cattle and horses and spent many hours on the tractor.

Boyd had many talents and could fix anything. The family always joked that he could repair anything as long as he had binder twine and duct tape. He had a good sense of humour, was always very approachable and made many friends over the years.

Boyd was predeceased by his eldest daughter Corie, who passed away tragically in 1978 and seven of his brothers and sisters. He is survived by his children: Cindy (Bruce), Derek (Nancy) and Brian (Heidi) and Carol (his friend and ex-wife) as well as his grandchildren: Cherisse, Jesse, Cassidy, Allison and Chelsea. Six of his siblings are also left to mourn the loss of their brother.

Boyd requested that there be no memorial service, but as a family we ask that if you knew him, you take a moment and remember him with fondness. Castlegar Funeral Chapel was in care of arrangements.

Cremation has taken place.

The Family of Mabel Shelloff would like to thank John J. Verigin for his kind words during our time of loss.

Thank you to all the singers that sang so beautifully at the services. We are grateful to those who assisted with the funeral preparations, all who attended the service, our wonderful relatives, friends and neighbours that brought food, flowers, cards and relayed their love.

Thank you to the people who shared their time to make the celebration of Mabel’s life so meaningful.

We will miss her forever...
