Businesses may benefit from fibre optic network CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
A business plan for phase two on the fibre optic network will determine if the city and school board can sell its services to local businesses. The fibre optic network steering committee, which consists of the city’s chief administrative officer and the chief financial officer, have worked to get the fibre optic network set up and running over the last 18 months. The steering committee believes that there is marketable potential for the fibre optic network, which will benefit taxpayers, noted the Chief Administrative Officer Lynne Burch. The pitch would start with some of the bigger businesses, such as Community Futures Boundary, Chamber of Commerce and possibly the credit union, said Superintendent of Schools Michael Strukoff. “What we’re looking to package is backup (servers), VOIP (voice over Internet protocol), web hosting and because it’d be in Canada, they wouldn’t have to look for backup services for their data,” he said. “We’re looking to see if that’s a viable thing for us to do for a fee. The CRTC license we have from the city excludes those.” Burch pointed out that there is a business plan that is being developed but nothing is set in stone. She added that there isn’t too much information to announce at this
point. The first phase of the fibre optic network has been successfully installed in a joint collaboration between the City of Grand Forks and School District 51 (SD51). Burch explained that the Fibre Optic Cable Network Joint Use Agreement, which is a collaborative project between the city of Grand Forks and School District 51, is essentially high-speed Internet. “The network has allowed us to connect to all of our different sites: city hall, all the fire halls and public works yards,” she said. “It’s allowed us to connect all of those. It’s also allowed the schools to connect to all their buildings as well.” Strukoff is happy with the abilities of the networking. “It’s working really well for the school system in Grand Forks right now and secondarily for the West Boundary because they’re not on the fibre link but they do have access to the centralized technology centre that we have,” explained Strukoff. “We have made the transition, we’ve got better speeds inside and phase one of the operational side of it has gone well for us and the city. The things that we’ve said we’d be sharing we are and things are going well.” The school board is still currently finalizing the installation of VOIP phones in several schools, but the city’s phones have been set up. The network allows SD51 and the city to share computer knowledge, including email and backup servers, as

well as document storage facilities. “The really expensive part is the control room and the software. We purchased it together and we’re sharing it, and we only have to buy one instead of two,” said Strukoff. The fibre optics network project has been made possible with funding provided by the School Connectivity Program and by Western Economic Diversification funding. Capital contributions from the school district and the city in the amount of $250,000 each were also provided. “The partnership is going really well. The only challenge we’re going to have is the transition,” Strukoff added. “Two senior people at the city, one has left for another job and the other will be retiring (former Chief Financial Officer Cecile Arnott and Burch), I’ll be retiring, so the catch will be the transition and getting the new people on board.” Burch agreed, “The partnership is working really well with the school district and it’s a really technical project.” The fibre optics network program began in December 2010 when city staff and SD51 staff collaborated to connect the school district and city facilities with high-speed fibre optic network capability. The network was finally completed this year, with the district and city co-operating on managing and creating the network.

Pesticide disposal from Oct. 17 to 24 KARL YU Gazette Editor
Residents in Grand Forks will have an opportunity to get rid of unused pesticide between Oct. 17 and 24. Grand Forks’ environment committee and Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Area D have teamed up to provide two drop off locations where people can bring pesticides – domestic pesticides will go to one location while agricultural will go to another. “The domestic collection site will be the (Grand Forks regional) landfill and the agricultural collection site will be Advance Nursery Co. Ltd. on Collins Road. On the 24th, the pesticide will be picked up and taken to Oliver, B.C.,” explained Coun. Gary Smith, who has been working to co-ordinate the pesticide collection for three months He added that the pesticides will then be transported to a high-temperature incineration facility where they will be safely disposed of. Smith said Bron & Sons Nursery Ltd. will provide a truck and transport the pesticides to Oliver. RDKB Area D Director Irene Perepolkin said that people don’t have to worry about paying any

fees for the pesticide removal. “There is no charge to bring the chemicals to the collection site and there is no limit on amounts,” Perepolkin said. This is a chance for people to safely dispose of domestic and agricultural pesticides for free and Smith strongly advises people to clearly label pesticides in order to avoid accidents that could potentially happen. “Sometimes, certain chemicals can’t be mixed together. Label your containers to the best of your ability. If you definitely don’t know what it is, then indicate ‘unknown’ and they will treat it differently,” Smith said. More than anything, Perepolkin hopes this event gets people in the habit of safely disposing of chemicals. “The landfill will take household type chemicals for no charge year-round, so hopefully this is going to raise awareness,” she explained. “It may remind people to look at what is stored in their sheds and get rid of it before it spills and contaminates the soil.” While the environment committee allocated $1,000, Area D has offered to match those funds and Smith said the cost is expected to be well below the combined amount.

A bomb scare closed off the area surrounding the Grand Forks Credit Union on Oct. 3. The credit union building was cordoned off when a suspicious briefcase was found outside the building and Grand Forks RCMP was called in to determine what could be in the package. “One of our employees informed us of an abandoned briefcase after opening hours around 9:30 a.m.,” explained Angela Soukoreff, a senior manager at the credit union, on Oct. 3. “We have protocols for whatever happens in the building, so we called RCMP. We haven’t touched the briefcase but all necessary precautions have been taken to investigate what the suspicious package is.” Grand Forks RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison added that a bomb squad from Vancouver was called in. The squad, which was training in Vernon, and a dog trained for detecting bombs investigated the scene. “We have decided to err on the side of caution,” Harrison said on Oct. 3. “After consulting with the RCMP explosive demolition unit in Vancouver, we are going to deal with this in a safe manner.” When the police service dog attended, it indicated that there were no explosives in the briefcase. From there, the briefcase was remotely opened and found to contain nothing. “Subsequent investigation revealed an individual we believe may be responsible for that
but the investigation is continuing,” said Harrison. “That individual may be contacted and questioned later as to his motives.” The suspect is a Grand Forks resident. Soukoreff noted that when all was said and done, everything was OK and the branch ATMs re-opened later that day – the branch opened for business the following day. “There was nothing in the briefcase and it was safe,” she said. “We really thank our members for their patience.” All 37 employees were evacuated from the building as a result of the briefcase and Soukoreff said that police advised everyone to be a minimum of 91 metres (300 feet) as they investigated the briefcase. Harrison pointed out that there is no connection to an incident in Rutland, B.C., where a briefcase was also left behind but was wired with explosives. No one was injured in that situation.

❚ CRIMINAL CODE
Kimberly Noyes denied release CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
The woman charged with the 2009 murder of a Grand Forks boy has been denied day leave. Kimberly Ruth Noyes is to remain in custody and reside at a forensic psychiatric hospital in the Lower Mainland after being denied a request for a one-day release. Paula Thorburn, a registrar with the B.C. Review Board, noted that the board held a hearing on Sept. 23. “The board made a custody disposition under the same terms as her previous disposition,” Thorburn stated in an email in regards to the hearing under section 672.81(1). Section 672.81(1) of the Criminal Code notes that “a review board may hold a hearing to review any of its dispositions at any time, of its own motion or at the request of the accused or any other party.”
Her terms remain the same under the directions of the review board, including general direction and supervision by the director of the adult forensic psychiatric services; she may not acquire, possess or use any firearm, explosive or offensive weapon; and that she present herself in front the review board when requested. Noyes was charged with the slaying of 12-year-old John Fulton in Grand Forks. She was originally charged with second degree murder but was found not criminally responsible on account of a medical disorder by the Supreme Court of British Columbia at Rossland on July 23, 2010. Noyes was ordered to be held in custody at the forensic psychiatric hospital until further disposition. Fulton went missing Aug. 15, 2009 and RCMP and Grand Forks Search and Rescue conducted a massive ground and air search. This led to the discovery of Fulton’s body in Noyes’ home.

❚ Our View
Reading, writing won’t go out of style Today (Oct. 10) is the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) and Black Press’ Reach-A-Reader Day in Grand Forks. People will be at various locations in Grand Forks selling newspapers with proceeds going towards programs in the area that will not only help people read but write. Being able to write is as important as reading. While the printed word and books are still relevant, there are now other ways to get information with advancements in technology – smart phones, iPads, Smart Boards and the like. But while text messaging, Facebook posts and Twitter and tweets have allowed for faster ways to disseminate information, it has allowed for a bastardized version of grammar and style. In the case of Twitter, which has a character limit to messages that are tweeted, many people use abbreviations, emoticons and acronyms to keep from going over the allotment– laugh out loud or LOL, talk to you later or TTYL for instance. While the use of LOL and emoticons such as ;) to express yourself might be necessary to keep under the character limit or let your friend know you are merely kidding around, people should never forget the importance of writing succinctly. The ability to read and write effectively will always be relevant regardless of how far technology advances. Students in high schools or post-secondary institutions won’t score high marks in essays or term papers without proper grammar usage – emoticons or acronyms to explain or express something will not be acceptable. Filling out a job application properly is also something that will benefit from good written skills and while emoticons and acronyms are understandable in an email to a friend or acquaintance, there are formal emails that may have to be written (to prospective employers for instance) and being articulate can help form a positive first impression. Getting information out has advanced from the press to the Internet and writing has advanced from quill and ink to pen to keyboard but the arts of reading and writing succinctly has remained the same so those skills should continually be honed.

Justin Trudeau would inject energy Justin Trudeau threw his hat into the Federal Liberal leadership race and I for one hope he wins. Not because I’m a hardcore supporter of the Liberal party but I think the son of Pierre is just what this country needs. Justin, who gained attention for his heartfelt eulogy at his father’s funeral in 2000, might not be the most seasoned of politicians as he is only 40 years of age and was only elected to parliament in 2008 as MP for the Papineau riding of Montreal. He can be viewed as a “legacy” politician, given that his father was one of the most well-known prime ministers in Canadian history and he doesn’t always act as a politician should act – there can be fights in politics but Trudeau literally fought in a boxing match against Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau, albeit for charity, earlier this year.
❚ Yu Speak
KARL YU
In 2011, he referred to Environment Minister Peter Kent as a piece of (dung) during question period in the House of Commons. Still, Justin Trudeau is exactly what the Canadian political landscape needs, someone for young voters to look towards. He has been referred to as a “rock star” and that could capture the imagination of and galvanize some young voters, a demographic that has been sorely lacking in past federal elections. In the 2011 election, reports indicate that 38.8 per cent of voters aged 18 to 24 years hit the polling stations and only 37.4 per cent did so in 2008.
Today’s youth might not be able to relate to Stephen Harper but a scrappy Trudeau is someone that might catch their attention. Down south, there does seem to be a relation between politicians winning the presidency and pop culture. Bill Clinton was charismatic but some credit an appearance on the Arsenio Hall late-night talk show – where Clinton played the saxophone – for helping him become president in 1993. Barack Obama made some appearances on comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live before becoming president of the United States in 2008. The new federal Liberal leader has not been decided yet and there still is a lot that Justin Trudeau has to learn, if he indeed is the next leader and if he wins, politics will be much more interesting.

LETTERS ❚ HUMAN RIGHTS
I’m entitled to breastfeed Editor: I was floored at last week’s poll question “Is breastfeeding in public a crime?” and that 13 per cent responded with a yes! As a nursing mother and breastfeeding advocate, I must comment. Have the statements about the positive effect of breastfeeding on the health and wellbeing of our children continued to fall on deaf ears? Is our culture so backward that we cannot get past realizing that breasts were made for babies and not purely for selling music, cars, clothes, etc.? Can we not celebrate and encourage those who choose to breastfeed their babies and make it easier for them, knowing that breastfeeding can be challenging but that the benefits are immense? I appreciate The Gazette taking a stand the previous week but, was disappointed at the expectation that the woman should be covered when in public; this is unfair and unrealistic. If I don’t have a cover of some sort and my infant is hungry, should I not be able to nurse him? Would you really rather hear a baby wailing in hunger? If a woman feels more comfortable wearing a nursing cover, that is great, but it is not a crime for me to bare my breast in public and use it for its intended purpose – feeding babies. If the sight of me nursing my baby in public offends you, please avert your eyes. I am certainly not putting on a show for you. As I was given breasts to feed my baby, you were given a neck with which
to turn your head. It is my child’s right to eat when hungry and my human right, under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, to breastfeed anywhere and anytime. According to the BC Human Rights Code “It is illegal to discriminate against a woman because she may become pregnant, is pregnant, or has a baby… it is discriminatory to ask them to cover up or breastfeed somewhere else.” Nursing a baby should not be offensive and a mother need not be discreet; breastfeeding is natural, normal and beautiful.

Politicians sitting on their laurels Editor: The role of the provincial government is administration of public policy. So far this year, the provincial government has only sat for 44 days and there is no indication that anything will change under this government – this is no way to run a province.

Meat issues a worry Editor: In June, the Conservatives chose to make significant cuts to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in the omnibus budget bill. Liberals voted against these cuts be-
❚ OPINION cause Canadians deserve to feel confident that their food supply is protected just as our farmers and ranchers deserve safe and stable business. Unfortunately these cuts went ahead and undetected E. coli contamination at the XL Foods facility in Brooks, Alta., led to the largest meat recall in Canadian history, spanning all the provinces and territories, plus 41 states. Alarmingly, the outbreak was first detected by U.S. food inspectors, not CFIA, and it took over two weeks for the first recall to be issued. At least 10 people have fallen ill. Conservative messaging that everything is fine is cold comfort to those who are sick or were exposed to E. coli. Canadians expected the government to heed the lessons of the 2008 listeriosis crisis, which left 22 dead and 35 others gravely ill. Yet the comprehensive audit of our food safety system recommended by an independent review has yet to occur four years later. Not only a terrible human tragedy, this may turn out to be the worst crisis in our beef industry since the discovery of BSE, or mad cow disease in 2003, which led to an immediate worldwide ban on all Canadian beef exports. Our cattlemen and food processors are at risk of another financial body blow, yet the Conservatives have just cut farm risk management programs, AgriStability and AgriInvest. Why are they supporting cuts that remove vital resources from food safety professionals and creating a space where the industry is responsible for more and more of its self-regulation? Waiting for Canadians to get sick is not a food safety strategy. Liberals support our scientists and professionals who are on the front line of food safety and call on the Conservatives to do the same.

Thinking regionally ❚ In the Spotlight
IRENE PEREPOLKIN
For the last year, we felt that since we are all small communities – Area D (rural Grand Forks), the city of Grand Forks, the city of Greenwood, village of Midway and Area E – if combined into pulling together as a group, we could have a
stronger voice. Working together in this manner does not come naturally and takes some adjustment in the way we do business. When an idea comes forth, it seems natural for one area to grab onto it and run with it for its own good. There have been challenges to overcome in this process. The City of Grand Forks has put together its own economic committee that is duplicating some of the goals the Boundary committee has been working on. A good example of this is the agriculture component. We ask why they are working on agriculture when the city has only a very small portion of area dedicated to agriculture. We have to ask, do the taxpayers have to fund this twice? When thinking regionally, one has to bring it to the group and work together. If an industry is looking to locate in an area, we have to remember that they may locate in one town but the entire area is going to benefit from it. Employees will come from each surrounding area, families will shop in each area, attend school and so on. Communication is going to play a huge part with all the players. We need to make sure that all parties are getting the same message out in their areas so the constituents know what is happening. At the recent UBCM (Union of British Columbia Municipalities) convention in Victoria, B.C., Premier Christy Clark announced funds to most areas in B.C. but noticeably nothing for our area – further evidence that we need to have more strength in numbers. We are getting further behind in economy. Combine this with the fact that we are not included in the Columbia Basin Trust leaves us little to work with when it comes to applying for various grants that come available. Many of them need matching funds and there is nowhere for the Boundary to go for these. Over the next year we will strive to work together to see if we cannot strengthen the voice of the Boundary . Some upcoming events taking place in the Boundary: • Friday, Oct. 12 Kettle River Watershed Management workshop at Rock Creek, starting at 9:30 a.m. Everyone is welcome. • Saturday, Oct. 13 B.C. Ministry of Agriculture Keeping Your Flock Healthy workshop for sheep and goats at the Senior Hall at City Park in Grand Forks. Call 250-442-3817 to register; the course is free • Starting Wednesday, Oct. 24 B.C. Clean Farms Obsolete Pesticide Collection campaign. Check your sheds and dispose of old or unwanted pesticides free. Collection location is Advance Orchard in Grand Forks. Enjoy the beautiful fall weather of fall; we could not ask for it to be any more perfect.

❚ SCHOOL BOARD
SD51 discusses costs for middle school CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
In a follow-up meeting to last spring’s discussion on a school district redesign, School District 51 (SD51) board trustees and staff presented more information to the public during a forum on Oct. 2. The biggest question raised was the concept of school redesign in the district, stated board trustee Vicki Gee. “Throughout that forum, regardless of what people’s opinions were, one message came across really strong and the feelings that everyone had for their schools, their support for their teachers, and their community,” she said. Gee noted that an online survey conducted had several good points that will be discussed in further conversations. “It wasn’t really conclusive due to the numbers that responded but there were points made that we will take forward in our decision-making,” she added. Parents suggested having the questionnaire be anonymous, which would increase the likelihood of honest answers. Although Christina Lake Elementary School (CLES) is no longer part of the middle school transition, some parents attending the forum still had concerns about the middle school concept. Jeanette Hanlon, secretary treasurer, explained that the calculations for estimated costs were based on the September 2012 enrollment numbers rolled forward three years. The Kindergarten numbers were also from this year. “The transition year will be 2013-2014,” she said. “We’re putting in a transition year because of the fact that Grade 5 students would move from Hutton in 2013-2014, back to Per-
ley back to 2014-2015.” The estimated numbers have 312 Kindergarten to Grade 4 students at Hutton Elementary School, Dr. D. A. Perley Elementary School would have 189 Grade 5 to 7 students, and Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS) would have 338 Grade 8 to 12 students. “For 2013-2014, there would be additional prep time for GFSS because the secondary school and elementary would have different prep times, which would cost $30,000. The exploration courses for Grades 5-7 would cost $2,835,” Hanlon explained. “The set up of four additional classes at Hutton and library reorganization would cost $3,200, while contingency is $5,000. The total estimated cost is $41,035.” The following school year, 2014-2015, Hutton would have 370 students, Perley (including CLES Grade 8 students) would have 206 students, and GFSS would see 244 students. “There would be a savings of one teacher at the middle school ($80,000), additional prep time for GFSS teachers would be $32,000, while exploration courses for Grade 6-7 students would be $600,” she noted. “The problem is this year we’re using the Hutton portable to set up two more classes at $1,600, with the contingency plan at $5,000. The total estimated cost is $40,800.” “There will also be savings in the 2015-2016 year as well. The bottom line is that the decision of a middle school will have to be an educational decision. If it’s made for financial reasons, it won’t work. It will cost us $50,000 either way, so it shouldn’t weigh in on our decisions.” There are 24 school districts in British Columbia that have middle schools, including Kelowna, Coquitlam, Penticton and Cowichan Valley.
❚ SENIORS
New way for seniors to access health-related info KARL YU Gazette Editor
The Province of B.C. has enhanced the seniorsbc.ca website in order to make it easier for seniors and their families to gain access to information on related programs and services. According to the province, the new site has been rebuilt and provides more information about community and service care options and how to access them. The website improvements are part of a seniors action plan that was released by the province in February. “As part of our seniors action plan, enhancements (were) made to seniorsbc.ca that make it easier for seniors and their families to access information on home and community health care programs and other services,” explained Kristy Anderson, health communications for the province. “Seniors and caregivers from around the province have provided feedback on how and when they access ministry information. This will help inform the scope and navigation of content on the enhanced website,” she said. Charles Haigh of Number 41 Media went around B.C. communities to conduct some informal research in the summer and stopped by Grand Forks in mid-June to gather informa-
tion from local seniors about how they gain access to information. About 60 per cent of the group that talked to Haigh in Grand Forks had computers with Internet access but that didn’t necessarily mean they knew how to use it. Some seniors in Grand Forks did know how to use search engine Google and a number relied on gatherings at the seniors’ centre in City Park to find information. The telephone was another way people got information and asking their physicians was another way. “I might add that we saw an increased interest in the province for seniors that want to learn how to use computers better so they can find information quicker,” Haigh said. Anderson says that the redevelopment of the Seniors B.C. website is only one way the provincial government is providing easier access to information for seniors and their families. “In June, a toll-free health care support line was launched for seniors and families,” she said. “The Seniors Health Care Support Line can be accessed Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. by calling toll-free 1-877-952-3181 and by December, a new version of the BC Seniors’ Guide will be published.”

NEWS ❚ GARBAGE
Summer partying by Granby River leaves mess CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
Garbage left along the shoreline of the Granby River has left nearby Grand Forks residents upset by the mess. “It’s coming to the end of the season now so the partiers have slowed down somewhat,” said resident Kathy O’Toole. “It’s our third summer here and it’s getting progressively worse. The amount of people that use the beaches have increased and whether that has a direct correlation with the opening of the path and trail by Riverside Drive, I don’t know.” O’Toole noted that there are more people walking their dogs on the trail now and there are some who don’t pick up after their dogs. “It’s not everyone, but there are also some people leave cans behind or smash their bottles,” she noted. “Those sort of things aren’t really new but the day it spurred me to action was when I went picked up half a dozen cans and the bot-
tles were smashed into such tiny pieces that it couldn’t all be picked up. The day before, four little kids under five were playing in that same area, so what’s it going to take?” O’Toole pointed out that maybe a method to prevent littering would be to have images of lacerations on their feet from broken glass. “Or even simplistic pictures saying this is a garbage bin, this is what it’s for,” she said. “It is frustrating and it’s not just me. There are other locals who will go to the beach with garbage bags to pick up the trash left behind. The thing is, there is a bin right there, but even so, sometimes even 10-feet (three metres) from the bin there will be pieces of paper or garbage on the ground.” Wayne Kopan, the city’s environmental and building construction services manager, noted that there isn’t a bylaw in place for littering. “The City of Grand Forks does have garbage collection bylaws, but to the best of my knowledge we do not have a bylaw that specifically addresses littering,” he said.
Canning it up The Grand Forks and District Public Library hosted an evening where local canners gathered together to discuss tips and recipes for preserving fruits and vegetables on Sept. 20. From left, librarian Lizanne Eastwood facilitates the discussion, with Lorelle Waite and Sylvia Treptow. CASSANDRA CHIN PHOTO

Tutor training helps care workers teach skills
Reading and writing have always been basic principles in school but with the advent of social media and new technology in the classroom, how we get information across is changing. The most notable addition is Smart Boards in the classroom. As a student, I’ve found these to be extremely helpful. Now we can watch videos and notes are much easier to read electronically. Another new addition this year is Edmodo, a sort of Facebook for students and teachers. People can ask their teachers for help, see homework and talk to other students about it. Most people seem to enjoy the Facebook-like format and it makes it easier to ask for help with homework. Facebook has also changed the way our school interacts. Many of our sports teams and school groups have Facebook pages, where they can make postings, which in turn makes things like student council and practices easier to follow. A lot of the events are posted and because of that, we have more participation in things like Spirit Days. It was great to see everyone in western gear! People can express their thoughts about what went on that day and on events that happened. It’s really amazing to see and it makes planning and getting feedback so much easier for things like dances and any contests. I’d have to say the advent of social media and technology doesn’t hinder our growth, as far as literacy goes. It just allows us to express it in different ways. Yes, you’ll always see the people with terrible grammar, or those who are using symbols instead of letters for some odd reason but all in all, they are a minority and it would be like that no matter how they expressed themselves. With the classroom electronics, teaching is made easier and more interesting, and things like videos hold attention for much longer than copying notes off of a board. The changes that have been made are amazing – it makes me excited to see what the next few years will hold.

Over the past two years, the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) has offered tutor training opportunities to Sunshine Valley Community Living Society care workers. They apply these skills to special needs clients and we partner with them on a number of levels, both in delivering a special needs literacy class each week and with referrals for some of their clients. One of these care workers, Yvonne, who took our tutor training, started to do literacy activities with one of her clients Trevor, a 50-plus-year-old gentleman. They began to work on language experience stories and started to visit the library. Trevor had never before entered the library and began to be introduced to books and stories in a way that Yvonne described as a totally life-changing experience. Yvonne worked with him closely and Trevor is slowly working his way through a book of stories about dogs. Trevor has received his first library card and had his picture taken with pride. This literacy experience has also assisted Trevor with his day-to-day life skills, such as grocery shopping, reading signs, and the local paper – all things he would be doing only by pictures or visual clues alone. CBAL continues to work with Sunshine
Technology, literacy and the classroom

The Grand Forks Slavonic Hall is looking to upgrade its outdated heating and cooling system through the city’s gas tax fund. Cliff Schuh, director of the Grand Forks Slavonic Senior Citizens Society Branch 143, explained that their priority is to upgrade their hall to reduce the cost of energy consumption. “Our furnace and water heater, both exceed 20 years and are in constant need of repairs,” he explained. “We would like to apply to the city of Grand Forks for a grant from the Gas Tax Fund to replace our heating and cooling system.” Schuh noted that they are still waiting for a response from the city about their application for the gas tax grant. They are also waiting for a reply from the seniors’ federal grant, New Horizons, to potentially update their kitchen. The upgrades would include installing a high efficiency (94.4 per cent) wall hung natural gas heater, and an on-demand hot water tank. The cost to complete the upgrades is roughly $20,000. “One of the problems was that when we initially applied it was election time and then right after that was budget time, and then after that was staff turnover,” Schuh said about gas tax fund application, which the hall originally applied for last October. “Something like this would go on the back-burner, but we’re hoping to get the New Horizon funding to get the kitchen up to more of a commercial kitchen so that we can rent it out for banquets and stuff like that.” Schuh noted that should the city give approval, upgrades to the hall will be done immediately.

“I was hoping to get it done before the cold weather sets in but so far I don’t know if that’s going to happen,” he said. In December 2011, the Slavonic Hall received approval and a grant from FortisBC Live Smart B.C. Lighting Installation Program (FLIP) to replace their entire lighting system with a high-energy efficient lighting system. The Slavonic Hall also received funding last year to redo their hall floor, replace their single-pane windows with double-pane, and changed outdated fixtures in the bathroom with modern ones. “We do have a nice hall right now, but once we get the kitchen replaced it would be an attractive place to hold functions,” Schuh added. The Slavonic Hall holds up to 80 people. The building is also the home of the Grand Forks ELKS Lodge #493 and the Restorative Justice holds their meetings there. There are also different groups who rent the hall for various events. Lynne Burch, the city’s chief administrative officer explained that there are many forms of gas tax but the city council is currently not discussing the Slavonic Hall. “Our gas tax agreement with the province does not allow us to cover the Slavonic Hall,” she explained. “It’s an agreement with the city and the province. We get gas tax funding annually and then there’s another part of gas tax funding, which we can apply for.” At the moment, the city has made an application for gas tax funding for the installation of water meters, but the disposition of that grant won’t be decided until the end of December.

❚ SCHOOL BOARD
SD51 does well in this year’s FSAs CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
Results for this year’s Foundational Skills Assessment (FSA) for School District 51 (SD51) Grade 4 and 7 students reveal overall marks above provincial averages in reading, writing and mathematics. The FSA is an annual assessment tool that looks at student achievement through foundation skills of reading, writing and numeracy. According to the Ministry of Education, information gathered from the results is used to assess core skills and areas of improvement. The overall assessment of Grade 4 students in SD51 revealed that for the writing portion, 72 per cent of students met of exceeded expectations, which is above the 70 per cent provincial standard. The only dip in results was seen in Grade 4 writing skills at 64 per cent in the district. This is eight per cent below the 72 per cent provincial average. In numeracy, the average for the district and province were the same at 68 per cent. The participation rates for Grade 4 students was at 88 per cent. Though below its usual rate, it was still above the province’s average of 85 per cent. The overall assessment of Grade 7 students in reading skills saw 75 per cent of students meet or exceed expectations, which is above the 64 per cent provincial average. Grade 7 writing skills were also above provincial average at 83 per cent who met or exceeded expectations, over the provincial average of 73 per cent. Numeracy for Grade 7 students was also above average at 78 per cent who met or exceeded expectations compared to the provincial average of 60 per cent. The participation rate for Grade 7 students was at 95 per cent, which was above the provincial average of 83 per cent. Board chair Teresa Rezansoff questioned why the marks for Grade 4 students in the district were eight per cent lower than the provincial average during the school board meeting on Sept. 11. “All of our other results are so far above provincial average
and here we are, eight per cent below the provincial level,” she said. “The Grade 7 results are great and everything else is exemplary but it’s interesting that it’s reading strategies (for Grade 4s) that are below average.” Superintendent of Schools Michael Strukoff noted that this is a conversation that would be discussed with the school principals. “The FSA results came out really late this year; they came out in July,” he said. “This will be the first time the principals and I will be going over them.” Strukoff also noted that participation rates at the Grade 4 level were down. “So we had fewer kids at that particular level participating, which affects the numbers as well,” he said. The percentage drop or increase is also dependent on the number of students in the grade. Approximately 75,000 (84 per cent) of students in the province wrote the assessment in 2012. Norm Sabourin, president of the Boundary District Teachers’ Association, believes that the FSAs should be altered to work better. “The FSA should be changed to a random sample so that we don’t have the (Fraser Institute’s rankings) schools against each other,” he said. “Finland, who’s always ranked at the top of the educational world, they do a random sample and have a number of kids across the country who take the test, so it’s anonymous.” Results in Finland are then taken and used to direct changes in curriculum, as opposed to results being sent to the Fraser Institute and they make a deal about ranking schools, Sabourin added. “I’ve personally always had a huge problem with the FSAs and the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation does have an issue with it because it isn’t a random sampling,” he concluded. “Changes do need to be made.” The FSA measures student achievement on the foundation skills of reading, writing and numeracy. It was designed and developed by educators in British Columbia and is based around the province’s curriculum.

Stage Fright The Thrillusion Show, is being hosted by the Grand Forks Piranhas Swim Club as a fundraiser. Two shows will be held on Saturday, Oct. 20, one at 4 p.m. and the other at 7 p.m. at the Grand Forks Secondary School auditorium. Kids love this stuff! The show is crammed with 90 minutes of creepy, crawly, icky, yucky, spooky magic for the whole family and promises to be like nothing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen before. This is a Halloween-themed Thrillusion show mixing magic and music, dance and theatre that is both hilarious and hair-raising. The show is the brainchild of master illusionist John Kaplan, who stars in the production
along with a cast of dancers and an assortment of spooky special guests. Kaplan has been touring Canada for nearly 20 years and his family magic shows have earned hundreds of thousands of dollars for schools and community groups all across the country. The Piranhas want to thank all of the local businesses that have already provided support by purchasing ads in the magic show program. Advance tickets are available by calling 250442-4054 or at the Overwaitea on Saturday, Oct. 13 between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Both shows are expected to sell out, so it is recommended you get your tickets early. A limited number of family passes (four for $25) are also available. Tickets are $8 for children and $12 for adult.

Gallery 2 seeking submissions for conceptual Christmas tree As the winter months arrive, Gallery 2 is planning to once again spruce up the interior of its building. This year it hopes to get community submissions. CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
Grand Forks’ Gallery 2 is seeking submissions from artists for conceptual Christmas trees as they gear up to start decorating the building for the upcoming holidays. Rather than focusing on the traditional pine tree and glittering globes of ornaments, this year’s theme will be edgier and brighter. Tina Bryan, administrative assistant at the gallery, noted that the theme will be more artsy than previously. “We do want to involve the public, so we’ve decided to do a call for submissions,” she explained. “We sent out invitations to artists in the area to put together a Christmas tree, but it can’t be your normal Christmas tree. It has to be something unusual, made up of wood, plastic; whatever you can think of, the more unusual, the better.” The deadline for applying is Oct. 15, but artists have until Nov. 20 to submit their design, which is the week of the annual wine tasting event. Artists can then decide if they’d like to submit their tree towards the silent auction during the wine tasting event, where donations will go towards the gallery. They also have the option to take back their creations after the winter season. “We are asking the public to participate in helping us make this Christmas season the most memorable Christmas to date,” said Bryan. “Gallery 2 will be going all out on the decorating. We’ll be illuminated top to bottom, splashed with vibrant color, and framed with artwork for ‘an artful Christmas.’ It’s going to be a bit risky this year.” The designed Christmas trees will be displayed through Christmas and into the New Year. For interested artists in the community, contact the gallery at 250-442-2211.

We subscribe to 77 magazines – everything from A Needle Pulling Thread to Bon Appetit to Yoga Journal to Canadian Gardening to Fine Homebuilding to Popular Science to Canadian History. This month we’re going to be evaluating our collection, which will consist of finding out which magazines aren’t read very often and figuring out which new magazines to add to our collection. And that’s how you can help – if there’s a magazine that you think would make a good addition to our collection, tell us about it! Once we’ve collected all your feedback, we’ll be able to do a better job of subscribing to new magazines that are of interest to you. In other news, somehow October is here already, and it’s turning out to be a month of author visits.

Which smoke alarm is best for reducing false alarm? Panago and Grand Forks Fire Rescue offering to check alarms Today, Wednesday, Oct. 10 Panago pizza in Grand Forks will randomly select three customers ordering pizza between 6 and 9 p.m. and they will have a chance to receive their order for free. A fire truck from Grand Forks Fire Rescue will accompany Panagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delivery people to personally check out the customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smoke detector. If their order is chosen and the smoke detector is working their order will be free. If the smoke detector is not in working order, it will be replaced free of charge.
Newest smoke and carbon monoxide combo lasts longer Newest smoke and carbon monoxide combo alarm lasts 40 per cent longer In recent years, it was a good news story with a caveat: Homeowners wanting to reduce the sheer number of smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in their home could buy a combination model that contained both CO and smoke sensing technology. Two alarms in one. The caveat? Smoke alarms have a 10-year lifespan, while CO alarms need to be replaced every seven years. But safety product market leader Kidde has recently introduced an advanced combination alarm that is a Canadian first. This new combo alarm not only does a better job differentiating between false alarms and the real thing. It also features Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first CO sensor certified for 10 years, just like its companion smoke sensor. One combination alarm, one 10-year replacement date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having alarms that last over 40 per cent longer is why Kidde remains Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number one smoke and carbon monoxide alarm brand,â&#x20AC;? says Carol Heller, a home safety specialist with the company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This new model also takes the guesswork out of knowing when to replace it with its built-in chirp that tells you when you are approaching the end of its active use.â&#x20AC;? The new combination alarm comes in two versions: one is battery powered, while the other is hardwired with a battery backup in case of a power outage. More smoke and CO alarm safety tips are found at www.kiddecanada.com and www.safeathome.ca.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Smoke alarms are not all the same. By choosing the correct technology you can keep your family safe and reduce those annoying false alarms when you cook or shower. Photoelectric smoke alarms are a good choice near kitchens or in areas adjacent to bathrooms, say fire safety
experts. Their sensors are best at detecting slow smouldering fires â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which means you will have fewer false alarms caused by burnt toast or shower steam. Ionization smoke alarms are good for general living areas, as their sensors are best at detecting fast-flaming fires.
Fire departments say that having both types of alarms installed in your home, or a combination with both types of sensors, provides the best protection. More information as well as fire safety tips can be found online at www.safeathome.ca.-

For the best protection, both types of alarms or combination ionization and photoelectric alarms (also known as dual sensor alarms) are recommended. N Smoke alarms should be INSTALLED away from the kitchen to prevent false alarms. Generally, they should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a cooking appliance. N REPLACE all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.

Carbon monoxide leaks increased threat as cold weather arrives says. “If they did, they would still be with us today.” Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless and tasteless. So without a CO alarm, humans cannot detect its presence. Despite the average home having several potential sources of the deadly gas, studies show that nearly 60 per cent of Canadians have not installed a CO alarm. “Over the past four years I have spoken to dozens of groups and hundreds of people and the comments are almost always the same,” Gignac says. “People tell me they don’t need a carbon monoxide alarm because they have electric heat. But when I ask them if they have a gas appliance or water heater, or a wood-burning or gas fireplace, or a garage or carport attached to their house, they all get a horrified look on their face. Because any one of those can be a source of CO and their families have been at risk for years.” In addition to being impossible to detect, CO also has another nefarious trait. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure mimic the flu, without the fever. It is routinely responsible for thousands of clinic and hospital visits each year, and is commonly misdiagnosed. Prolonged or extreme exposure causes nausea, dizziness, confusion, the loss of physical mobility, brain damage and ultimately, death. Gignac offers these four CO safety steps: • Have a licensed inspector check heating When you change systems and other fuelyour smoke alarm burning appliances, including fireplaces, battery, every year. • Install one CSAremember to approved CO alarm clean the lint on each storey of your home and outside all from your clothes sleeping areas. dryer vent too! • Check outside to make sure all exhaust flues and vents are not Snowball obstructed. • Replace CO alarms Ventures every 7-10 years dewww.snowballventures.com pending on the man250-442-2943 ufacturer, whether email: info@snowballventures.com battery operated or hardwired. “Most CO alarms cost in the range of $30, just about 2 cents a day over their lifespan, a small price to pay for the safety of you and your family,” Gignac adds. More carbon monoxide safety tips are available online at www. A Sustainable Grand Forks Community endthesilence.ca.
That extra nip in the fall air provides a reminder that increased vigilance is required to protect your family from carbon monoxide, known as the “silent killer”. For one Ontario man, it is an especially stark reminder. In late 2008 John Gignac, a retired firefighter, lost his niece, her husband and their two children to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. A blocked chimney vent forced the deadly gas from their gas fireplace back into their home. And just one year ago, a Whitehorse family and a boarder were also killed by CO poisoning. After his family tragedy, Gignac established the HawkinsGignac Foundation for CO Education and spends his retirement imploring others to protect themselves from CO with one simple step: installing a CSA-approved carbon monoxide alarm. “My niece Laurie Hawkins and her family had no chance because they did not have a CO alarm,” Gignac On Wednesday October 10th

COMMUNITY ❚ HALLOWEEN
Rotary hosts Halloween Bonfire on Oct. 31 GRAND FORKS ROTARY CLUB Submitted
For almost 40 years, the Grand Forks Rotary Club has been hosting the Halloween Bonfire. The Rotary Club started to hold annual bonfires to provide a focal point for the youth and others celebrating Halloween. The event has drawn favourable attention from the local community and even was listed in Beautiful BC magazine as a must-see. The free admission event is held at Angus MacDonald Park starting at 6 p.m. with the lighting of the bonfire and ends with Grand Forks’ only annual fireworks display. In between there is a fortune-teller and hot chocolate. Back by popular demand, free bags of the Rotary’s Kettle Corn will be handed out. Rotary funds the event through the sale of door cards to show that you have contributed to the bonfire. These cards are available through many participating merchants and any Rotarian.

CLAAS nominated as ‘Most Innovative Organization’ for KAST award CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
The Christina Lake Arts and Artisans Society (CLAAS) has been nominated as the “Most Innovative Organization” for the KAST Spirit of Innovation Awards. KAST (Kootenay Association for Science and Technology) is a non-profit organization that represents local interests among businesses, industry, government and education. Bob Dupee, president of the Christina Lake Arts and Artisans Society, noted that they were approached by KAST to submit a nomination. “This is the first time we’ve been nominated,” he said. “We did get the Innovative Community Organization Award from Community Futures Boundary a few years ago.” CLAAS was formed in 2006 and was set up to promote visual and performance arts around Christina Lake. One of the goals of the society was to create an arts cultural centre in the area. “The creation of the Christina Living Arts Centre involved a huge amount of innovation, mainly from the environmental side of things,” explained Dupee. “The technology that went into all of the things that made it into a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standard building, such as the incorporation of a green roof, addition of the solar aquat-
ics system for processing the waste water, and the innovation behind the solar water heating.” The efficient building was a milestone for the society, as it helped showcase environmental technology and educate local contractors on how to construct a green building. “We wanted to also create a centre for the community that would really promote the community not only to tourists and visitors but to locals as well, and to give them a place for meeting and eating and greeting and performances,” said Dupee. “We’re really excited to have made the final four because there is some pretty stiff competition out there. Our area is certainly renowned for a lot of innovation and individuality as far as the things that are coming out of the Kootenays.” Other categories that businesses can be awarded too include the Most Innovative Company, Most Innovative Individual and Most Promising Start-up. Another local company, Grand Forks’ Environment Depot for Wastewater to Energy Ltd., has been nominated as Most Promising Start-up. The Spirit of Innovation Awards Gala occurs once every four years and honours local businesses, organizations and individuals in the West Kootenay-Boundary region. This year’s event features a keynote address by Tod Maffin, “The Myth of Multitasking.” The gala will take place on Oct. 25 at the Prestige Lakeside Resort in Nelson.

Preserving Leaves Brush leaves on each side with vegetable oil. Place oiled leaves between layers of newspaper. Place a heavy object on the newspaper for about three days. You will have beautifully preserved leaves for leaf rubbing!
Nature Walk Go on a nature walk with children. Take along a bag to place leaves in. Pick up leaves of all sizes, shapes, and colors. Have children examine them. Help them write down what they see or write a story about how the leaves fell to the ground.
Leaf Crunch Collect leaves. Pour leaves into empty water table or in a big bowl. Allow children to scrunch up the leaves with their hands. Children can also sprinkle the crunched leaves onto a paper leaf shape with glue to make a leaf mosaic.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen a delightful movie all around Hello movie lovers. Since the closing of the video store, I have travelled far and wide to obtain new movies to tell you about. I was very lucky to obtain a copy of Salmon Fishing LIZ MARTIN in the Yemen and found it to be delightful in all aspects. It has a stellar cast, Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt and Kristin Scott Thomas, so I thought to myself, this is going to be good, and it was. It is an unusual story of a wealthy sheik’s desire to transport Scottish salmon to the desert in Yemen – an implausible scheme if there ever was one! Ewan plays a fisheries expert and suffers from Asperger syndrome, so he is rather unemo-

tional and has very repetitive habits. McGregor did this part very well indeed and because I too am Scottish, it was lovely to hear his accent and to see the scenes of Bonnie Scotland. Emily Blunt was wonderful as a sort of go between from the sheik to McGregor. I saw Emily in the Devil Wears Prada and she seems to fit each part she takes, very well. The movie is funny in parts, serious in others and the scenery is lovely. There is romance also, just enough for our interest, but I must admit to watching McGregor most of the time, as he did his part with such flair and conviction. I have left out several aspects of this clever movie so that you can see it for yourself. I got my copy at the Pawn Shop. There are many new titles there and this one jumped off the shelf, so glad it did. Happy movie going all. – Liz Martin is a film critic for the Grand Forks Gazette, movie lover, cello player and happy retiree
❚ VOLUNTEERING
Rotary Club helps around the community CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
Community-minded and locally engaged, the Grand Forks Rotary Club is seeking new members to join its club. “The Rotary Club is a group of community and business members who believe that service above self is powerful and can transform those less fortunate to those that can prosper and live happily as we do,” explained President Darla Ashton. “We are basically a humanitarian organization that live by the premise that caring for others can lead to a better understanding and overall greater well being.” Originally founded as a group for businessmen, the club has expanded over the years to include men and women who share the common goal of serving others. Ashton added that the club has become a vibrant, gender-balanced organization that can offer a lot to the community. Ashton noted that for her, the club has allowed her to grow into a better human being. “One who considers others before myself and guided me to achieve high ethical standards,” she said. “The Grand Forks Club has also allowed me the opportunity for fellowship with those that I respect and that I’m proud to work beside as we fundraise for projects that help others in our community and communities elsewhere.” Grace McGregor, the media relations officer for the Grand Forks Rotary, added, “The Rotary actually has something for anyone and some way for everyone to make a difference. They can choose their avenue for what they want to do to make a difference whether it’s internationally or locally with children, there’s a choice.” New Rotarian Graham Watt first started by attending breakfast meetings before joining the club in June.
4 cylinder, automatic, keyless entry, CD player, power door/window locks, 167,000 kms ..........................................
“There’s a neat diversity of business people, community leaders, teachers and different people who are involved,” he explained. “I was interested in the aspect of service and doing things that are helpful to the community and supporting healthy communities in many different ways. I saw that the Rotary has a strong mandate for service and its something in my work that I enjoy above everything else.” Another reason Watt joined the Rotary was its many opportunities that are available to him, such as leadership development. “This is something that the Rotary does – how to bring out community leaders and raise new community leaders, whether it’s bringing new members into the Rotary or having conversations that help bring people together,” he said. “I also think it’s important to have to the Rotary involved in issues that are relevant to the community, both regionally and abroad. The Rotary is very involved with various programs abroad and I think having some very local, very relevant projects could increase their interest in being involved with the Rotary.” Some recent projects include the rehabilitation of the customs house located by Gallery 2, and the tot lot at the Grand Forks City Park. Watt pointed out that the club’s weekly morning meeting is a great way to start Thursday’s. “You have breakfast, hear from the speaker, talk about the projects that everyone’s involved in, and I do like the social aspect of the meetings,” he concluded. “You get fired up to get the day started.” The Grand Forks Rotary Club meets every Thursday at 7 a.m. at Gallery 2.

World Girls’ Hockey Day is on Saturday, Oct. 13 and is an opportunity to showcase hockey for girls of all ages. Hosts from around the world are putting on events to allow females to be introduced to basic skills in hockey in a positive, fun and safe environment, learn about opportunities in ice hockey in their community, learn about fair play, sportsmanship, teamwork, meet new friends and have a chance to fall in love with a new sport. Grand Forks Minor Hockey is supporting this initiative and hosting a hot dog sale and road hockey games at the Kal Tire store in Grand Forks on Saturday, Oct. 13 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The public is invited to come out and grab a stick and have some fun. All skill levels are welcome. Grand Forks has had a strong history of girls/ women’s hockey dating back to as early as 1911 when the Rossland Carnival final between Rossland and a team from Grand Forks, B.C. was hailed as the women’s championship of the world. Rossland’s biggest upset came in 1917 when

More recently the Grand Forks Ice Dragons won the West Kootenay Minor Hockey League banners in the 2007/08, and 2008/09 seasons. Many girls and women continue to play in Grand Forks. Grand Forks Minor Hockey would like to encourage all girls to consider giving hockey a try. As is evidenced by the strong numbers in local women’s hockey, it can be a sport that can continue for many years.
❚ REC REPORT
Stretching it to the limit LILLY BRYANT Grand Forks Recreation
There are several benefits of stretching, which should make it an important part of your fitness program. Stretching, in its most basic form, is a natural and instinctive activity. People often stretch instinctively after waking from sleep or after long periods of inactivity. As a form of exercise, stretching involves elongating a specific muscle or muscle group to its fullest length. Flexibility is the degree to which an individual muscle will lengthen. Lack of flexibility causes your movement to become slower and less fluid and makes you more susceptible to muscle strains, ligament sprains and other soft tissue injuries. The most effective way to increase your flexibility is by stretching. Stretching increases blood flow to the muscles. This increased blood flow brings more nourishment to the muscles and removes more waste byproducts from the muscles. Increased blood flow can also help speed up recovery from muscle and joint injuries. The increased flexibility that comes from stretching improves balance and co-ordination.
WOOD STOVES Freeman’s offers many efficient & eco-friendly designs from the following manufacturers:
Improved balance and co-ordination lowers your risk for falls. Stiff and tight muscles in the lower back, hamstrings, buttocks and hips are one of the more common causes of lower back pain. Stretching these muscles will alleviate the pain. Recent studies have found that stretching can improve artery function and lower blood pressure. In conclusion, don’t overlook the benefits of stretching. Make sure that stretching is a regular part of your fitness program. You can join Gisela Ko on Tuesday afternoons from 1 to 2 p.m. and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. for a one-hour stretching for mobility class. She has adapted the stretches so a chair can be used for support. Gisela visits Christina Lake on Wednesday afternoons at the community hall from 1 to 2 p.m. Drop-in fee applies to all classes. *** Grand Forks Recreation (GFREC) offers several drop-in fitness classes at the aquatic centre weekly. Please pick up an October flyer for details or for more information on stretching, please give GFREC a call at 250-442-2202 or email us at gfplay@rdkb.com.

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
Thanksgiving weekend saw the Grand Forks Border Bruins lose both home games at the Grand Forks Arena. On Saturday, Oct. 6, the Bruins lost 8-2 against Beaver Valley, and they lost 4-1 against Columbia Valley Rockies on Sunday. Nick Deschenes, head coach and general manager, felt there was a lot the team could improve on. “We’re not happy with the results this weekend, and we’re going to have to rethink the direction we’re heading,” he said. Sunday’s game against the Rockies saw many penalties against the Bruins, with the home team racking up 16 penalties throughout the three periods. “Sometimes you don’t get the calls and sometimes they’re not in your favour, but it’s fine,” noted Deschenes. “It’s part of the game of hockey
and you just have to deal with it.” Though the Bruins started the game with hard hits, missed passes allowed the Rockies managed to get 54 shots on goal. The Bruins had 18 shots on goal. “There are some players who are playing to the standards we’re holding them to and others aren’t,” he added. “We need 20 players to win and we haven’t had that yet this season.” Deschenes pointed out that the team needs to looks at where they are heading. “I’ve got some thinking to do and we have to make some decisions,” he concluded. “We have to start turning things around because we’re going in the wrong direction.” The Grand Forks Border Bruins play against Spokane Braves next Saturday, Oct. 13 at 7:30 p.m., and Kamloops Storm on Sunday, Oct. 14 at 2 p.m. at the Grand Forks Arena. The Bruins will also be hosting a fundraising car wash at Grand Forks Secondary School parking on Thursday, Oct. 11 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The Grand Forks All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Club or GFATV Club, has been working hard this summer to compile a map of trails in the Boundary area. So far the club has mapped over 100 trails, totaling 1224 kilometres of trails. With funding from New Horizons for Seniors, the club’s goal is to compile a map book for distribution early next year. Once complete the maps will provide seniors and near seniors with detailed maps to help them “Get Up, Get Out, Join In, and Ride Safe.” There are so many wonderful places in the area to ride, view wildlife, learn about the areas ripe history, and explore. Even when your body cannot get you to the hills by itself, these areas are still in reach with some help from an ATV.

ing cessation aids. Once in each calendar year, B.C. residents enrolled with the Medical Services Plan can receive PharmaCare coverage for a single continuous course of a prescribed smoking cessation drug or a free 12-week supply of nicotine replacement gum or patches. Through the Smoking Cessation Program, PharmaCare covers the prescription drugs varenicline (Champix) and bupropion (Zyban). These drugs do not contain nicotine, but work on the brain to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings and reduce the urge to smoke. Serving the community since 1936 British Columbians who register with the program are able to receive further support from QuitNow Services (‘QuitNow’), which is operated by the BC Lung Association. HealthLink BC staff can transfer callers directly to QuitNow. Since the Smoking Cessation Program began, QuitNow has had more than 20,000 contacts with individuals interested in quitting.

Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same We have to hide our heartache When Someone speaks your name Sad are the hearts that love you Silent are the tears that fall Living without you both is the hardest part of all You did so many things for us Your hearts were kind and true And when we needed someone We could always count on you The special years will not return When we are all together But with your love deep in our hearts You’ll walk with us forever

Mary (Jane) Cadman née Schreiner It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Mary (Jane) Cadman, née Schreiner on October 4, 2012 at Grand Forks, B.C. Mary was born on Dec 25, 1948 in Humboldt, Sk, third daughter to Lawrence and Hedwig Schreiner. She was raised on the family farm, attending elementary school at Burton Lake School and high school at Humboldt Collegiate Institute. Mary attended university in Regina for one year but circumstances did not allow completion. It was to her regret that Mary did not achieve a university degree but that did not stop her from achieving success in her chosen career in Information Systems. Starting out as an analyst assistant in data processing, she completed in Information Systems as an Applications Development Manager for a resource company. Mary and Robert married in 1991. After surviving treatment for breast cancer very shortly after their marriage, they sought a quieter life style away from the city of Calgary and bought an acreage near Carbon, AB where they resided for 14 years. Mary was much involved in the community, devoting thousands of hours to the preservation of one of the few remnants of Carbon’s history, the Farmers’ Exchange building. Mary and Robert retired to Grand Forks from Calgary in 2007 and Mary very much enjoyed her time here. She became actively involved in the Grand Forks Guild Connection, the Sunshine Quilters, the Boundary Spinners & Weavers, and the Focus on Fibre Association. Mary had a great love for the arts, performing, visual and literary. She loved to create things, particularly in Àbre. Mary was an adventurous quilter, knitter, weaver, rug hooker, spinner – to her chagrin she left with many Àbres yet unexplored. She discovered weaving and spinning since she came to Grand Forks and enjoyed them enormously. Mary treasured her time with her grandchildren. In the summers Mary and Bob spent time at the lake, camping, cooking and exploring British Columbia with her grandsons. Mary looked forward to every visit and phone call – her time spent with her granddaughters and grandsons was precious. All were outÀtted in Mary’s handmade garments and quilts. Mary enjoyed travel but travelled primarily in North America. In 2007, she happily achieved a goal of seeing Australia. She enjoyed visits to see family and friends in the Northwest Territories, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Mary jumped in with both feet, pursuing things passionately and optimistically. She was always sure it could be done in less time and with less effort than everyone else thought so she generally made it happen! She volunteered at many things over the years. Her most passionate volunteer project was working on the restoration of the Farmers’ Exchange Building in Carbon, AB. Things that shaped Mary include her special birthday, growing up on a farm, attending a one room school, anyone who said there was something she could not do, being one of six daughters, her experience with cancer, and those she met because of it. Mary leaves behind her husband of twenty years, Robert Cadman of Grand Forks; daughter Tanya Krueger (Brian Asmundson) of Yellowknife, NT; grandsons Roman and Carson Asmundson; son Robert Kossick (Jacqueline) of Edmonton, AB; granddaughters Danaea and Cayley Kossick; step-sons John (Amy) of Calgary, AB, and Michael (Nancy) of Canmore, AB; sisters Annette (Bill) Krayetski of Prince Albert, SK, Ayesha (Didier Peteus) Schreiner of Montreal, SK, Eileen Woodham of Humboldt, SK, Donna Schreiner of Regina, SK; and ten nieces and nephews. Mary was predeceased by her parents, Lawrence and Hedwig (Kloppenburg), sister Loraine Hartmann, and brother-in-law Richard Woodham. Thank you to the Hospice and Boundary Hospital staff for their kind services. Grand Forks Funeral Home had care of arrangements.
The family of Mitchel Peter Chernoff would like to thank the many family and friends who showed their love and support during our time of sorrow. We would especially like to thank long time family friends and next door neighbours, Bill and Elaine Whitehead for opening their yard to help accommodate the many that attended Dad’s Celebration of Life, and for their time with food and preparations. There are no words to express our appreciation and gratitude of so many of you who were there to help us through this time. Thank you to Bill Strilaeff from the Castlegar Funeral Chapel for his direction and guidance. Special thanks to long time family physician Dr. Keith Merritt and staff, Castlegar Health Centre home care nurses and doctors and nursing staff of Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital. From the bottom of our hearts, our deepest thanks to everyone for your kind words, flowerers, food and support. Polly, Ron & Chris, Ken & Marcella, Cindy & Daryl, Beverley and families.
