❚ BUSINESS

Small business forum in town CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

The Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce hosted a small business forum with B.C.’s Minister of State for Small Business, the Honourable Naomi Yamamoto at Omega Restaurant this past Monday. Yamamoto was also a small business owner for 21 years, operating a graphic design company in North Vancouver, and understands the dilemma of small business owners. “Small businesses are classified as any business having less than 50 employees, so I can tell you that most small business people think that if you have 20 employees it is a pretty big business,” she noted. “The vast majority of small businesses in Canada have five or less employees.” Yamamoto pointed out that the small business community is the backbone of Canada and the reason for her travelling to smaller cities is to figure out how to make small businesses thrive. “In most instances, businesses just want to survive, so let’s figure out how to do that,” she said. She added that some issues raised by business owners she’s spoken to included why there was so much red tape involved in completing something simple. The roundtable discussion raised topics including the adaptation of the Pacific Carbon Trust to invest into small businesses, the co-operative model, credit ratings, and the possible impact of CETA (the Canada-European Trade Union). Another reoccurring issue raised was the need for changing attitudes and perspectives in regards to small businesses and what it means to

MINISTER NAOMI YAMAMOTO

be considered a small business. Mayor Brian Taylor explained that the situation in Grand Forks is that the city has an aging infrastructure and an aging population. “Small businesses are being asked to make a big transition to dealing with the demographic change that’s happening really quickly in this area. We’re taxing at a municipal level more than what we want, and it’s more of a burden than we’d like to see on small businesses,” he said. “But it’s really difficult with the challenges we have in planning for this infrastructure deterioration, dealing with making it a welcoming and friendly community.” Taylor went on to say that the city continues to try and maintain itself and is looking for a stronger relationship with the whole of the Boundary. Yamamoto also pointed that there are differences between rural and big city business perspectives. “We’re not looking at deregulating business licences, but what we are looking at is regulatory reform and streamlining,” she stated.

❚ XL FOODS RECALL

Local stores pull meat as precaution CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Affected meat products have been removed from shelves at the local grocery stores in Grand Forks after a large meat recall by XL Foods in September. According to Dave Wilkes, senior vice-president for the Grocery Division of the Retail Council of Canada, a trade association representing Extra Foods, all meat products have been removed from shelves. “What we’ve really seen was that when the recall was announced, our members’ first and foremost priority was to remove the affected products from the shelves,” he said. “That was done very expeditiously within a matter of hours.” Julie Dickson, director of communications for the Overwaitea Food Group, pointed out that they were notified of the contamination on Sept. 28 and pulled the product immediately. “We have not been notified by the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) of any illnesses

that have been tied to our products,” she noted in an email. “Though we do not buy ground beef from XL Foods, and have not for quite some time, our third party beef supplier does procure certain beef products from XL Foods that are now affected by the CFIA’s expanded recall.” Dickson added that this was a precautionary measure and a voluntary removal of all potentially impacted products. “We’ll be replacing removed product with unaffected supply over the next few days,” she said. “If you’ve purchased any of these potentially affected items from any of our stores please feel free to return them to us for a full refund.” Wilkes pointed out that despite the recall, sales have not been affected by the contamination and recall. “What we’ve seen in the stores is that the impact really has been minimal and that consumers are continuing to purchase beef,” he said. Buy-Low Foods’ headquarters had not responded as of press time. For more information on the food recall, visit www.inspection.gc.ca.

❚ POLICE REPORT

No charges in Oct. 3 bomb scare Gazette Staff

No charges in Grand Forks Credit Union bomb scare incident There will be no charges laid in relation to the Grand Forks Credit Union abandoned briefcase, bomb scare incident. “We did identify the individual that left the briefcase there,” explained Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. “We questioned him thoroughly and formed the opinion that there was no criminal intent, so there are no charges forthcoming.” Harrison said that the individual claimed that he found the briefcase and just left it outside there hoping that the owner would come by and retrieve it. The abandoned briefcase was found on the morning of Oct. 3 and police closed off the area surrounding the credit union and a bomb-detecting dog was brought in but the briefcase was found to be empty. There had been a similar incident in Rutland, B.C. and the briefcase in that incident was wired with explosives. Black SUV in rollover accident near Wilgress Lake An accident took place on Highway 3 between Grand Forks and Greenwood on Friday afternoon (Oct. 12) near Wilgress Lake, involving a black Mazda Tribute SUV. “It was a single vehicle rollover, west of Wilgress Lake,” explained Grand Forks RCMP’s Cpl. Richard Lanz. “It was travelling east, hit the gravel shoulder, lost control and overturned,” he said. There were only minor injuries reported and the driver was transported to the hospital in Grand Forks – alcohol was not a factor. Reported missing woman not missing There was a report of a missing woman last week but according to Harrison, it wasn’t actually a missing person case. “This person left of their own accord, for their own reasons and we can’t really divulge any information; as a matter of fact, we couldn’t even tell the complainant where the missing lady went and where we found her,” Harrison said. “All we could do was confirm that we located her, she’s safe and if she wished to contact (the complainant) she would.” Harrison couldn’t name the woman due to the Privacy Act. Guitar stolen from barber shop RCMP received a report on Oct. 9 at 3:30 a.m. of a break-and-enter into Shorty’s Barber Shop on 72nd Avenue. Indications show that the door was forced open and a collector’s item Hagstrom Scandi electric

guitar was stolen. “We’re still investigating the matter, but if anybody has any information in regards to that we’d appreciate hearing from them,” said Harrison. Missing wallet On Oct. 2 around 4 p.m., a man reported that his black leather wallet, bankcards and B.C. driver’s licence were stolen from his unlocked Ford pickup truck three weeks ago. His vehicle was parked on Cameron Road. Harrison noted that there is not much information to go on and the incident occurred several weeks prior to the person’s report. Break and enter at Overwaitea On Oct 3 at 9:39 a.m., there was a report of a break-and-enter into the trash storage area behind Overwaitea in Grand Forks. “At this point we are working on a possible suspect,” said Harrison. “There is another report along the same lines, where we did catch someone doing it, so whether or not it’s the same person in this report, we don’t know yet.” Harrison referred to another incident on Oct. 6 at 2:27 a.m., when two constables on patrol located a suspect who had also broken into the trash storage compound behind Overwaitea. The constables found the individual inside the storage shed. “This particular individual has been charged with the same offense in February 2012 and was convicted and sentenced to jail,” Harrison noted. “But obviously he’s back out doing the same thing again. He was arrested and released by a justice of peace on a recognizance of bail here in court in November.” The charged subject is a 52-yearold Grand Forks resident.

❚ Our View

Shop local requires team effort With October Small Business Month in British Columbia, Small Business Week running until this Friday and Community Futures Boundary’s business awards ceremony set for this coming Tuesday (Oct. 23) small business (less than 50 employees) is certainly front and centre. Minister of State for Small Business, the Honourable Naomi Yamamoto, was also in town this past Monday and held a forum on small business and being a former business owner, understands the dilemmas that small business owners go through. She said the small business community is the backbone of the country and said she was going throughout the province to see how small businesses thrive. Grand Forks’ Mayor Brian Taylor was in attendance at the forum and said that the city is taxing at the municipal level more than it wants to and that is a burden on small businesses. That coupled with increased exemptions at the border can have a detrimental effect on local business owners and a way to ease the burden on small businesses is the concept that is all too familiar and possibly clichéd – shopping local. The reasons for shopping local have been echoed by many – supports the local economy, can save the environment, as you aren’t driving as far as a crossborder shopping trip to the U.S. and so on and so forth. But as B.C. Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko said in a recent column, that commerce isn’t only a one-way street, which is very true. Businesses can also do their part and it doesn’t have anything to do with pricing. There was a recent initiative to make businesses more family friendly, which includes allowing mother’s to breastfeed in businesses – a more welcoming environment in a business can’t hurt business and mothers are consumers just like anyone else. Also, business owners should practice what they preach and not cross-border shop. In order for the local economy to thrive and the shop local concept to truly work, everyone must take part, not just some. It’s not easy owning a business these days and with prices seemingly always on the rise, it’s not easy being a consumer either but for small businesses in the area to thrive, everyone must do their part.

Bullying not limited to school, work Bullying. It has become a reoccurring theme as of late, an almost redundant topic, but nevertheless important. Amanda Todd is the latest victim of bullying. Last month she created an online video about her tormented days at school and online experience, and posted it onto YouTube. The nine-minute clip is as heart wrenching as the tragedy of her short life. Todd is one of many youth who have made national headlines recently for being harassed and bullied, before they ultimately decide that life’s not worth it – that no one would care if they were gone. Unfortunately, bullying doesn’t end at school or work anymore. The instant connection one has to through text messages, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the Internet can be overwhelming.

❚ A Chin Up

CASSANDRA CHIN

Because the fact is, no one is perfect. Words can be said in the heat of the moment that can be hurtful and utterly degrading. The power of a single word can boost one’s self-esteem as easily as it can damage. Words can be shouted out during a moment of heated passion, and in that moment you’re aware that you’ve really stuck your foot into your mouth. It’s worse when it’s done online because face-toface interaction is limited and social cues are missed. British Columbia’s Ministry of Education has created a new initiative called ERASE that targets

bullying and addresses harmful behaviour, while the NDP federal government recently announced a motion to create a national bullying prevention strategy. That’s great, and though I support both initiatives, the root cause of bullying cannot be indicated by one cause or started (or stopped) by one person. I’m glad that the provincial and federal governments feel this is a cause that needs to be addressed, but the onus also falls to the families – the parents, the grandparents, the aunts and uncles, the local community groups and sports teams. Everyone has a role in raising a child. There have been many discussions about raising an understanding child to become an engaging youth who will lead by example as an adult. I do believe the proverb reads as, “It takes a village to raise a child.”

LETTERS ❚ PROVIDENCE DAM

Marshall Lake not being drained yet Editor: There have been emails, articles and postings on Facebook in regards to Providence Dam and the position the province has on this issue. Unfortunately, some of the information is not correct and misleading of the process that this has and will be going through. The conservation storage license on Providence Dam was obtained by Okanagan Fisheries Section in 1984. Since that time, routine inspection and minor maintenance works have been completed on the facility on an annual basis. In June 2010, after Testalinden Dam in Oliver breached, the Province conducted inspections on all of their dams. During the inspection on the Providence Dam, a number of concerns were identified by the Ministry, which warranted further investigation. A Dam Safety Review was completed in December 2010, which identified a number of concerns. Many meetings with ministry, local and regional governments, as well as myself, began in Jan. 2011 to review and source opportunities that would enable maintaining the dam in its current state. Given that there were no solutions, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations’ Fish and Wildlife section has decided to decommission the dam due to its high consequence rating and the cost to bring the dam up to Canadian Dam Standards. An offer had been extended to the City of Greenwood, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary and any public organization to transfer the water license as well as the risk and liability to their respective organization but all offers have been declined. No one is in a financial position to upgrade the dam or accept the risk or liability. The ministry will proceed

with decommissioning the dam in spring 2013, and as required by law it is currently working on a decommissioning plan that will provide the required 60 days advance notice. In the meantime, the ministry will be drawing down water levels this week for safety reasons. Marshall Lake will not be drained but lowered to its original size – prior to dam construction and will continue to be stocked with rainbow trout to support recreational fishing in the area.

❚ ANIMAL CRUELTY

Preventing animals from suffering Editor: Re: Condition concerns for animals (letter, Sept. 19 issue of the Grand Forks Gazette) Gazette) I was very glad to see the letter in the paper regarding the living conditions of local horses. I am brought to tears by the abuse these animals are being dealt. I have observed that there are too many animals for the space provided, no shelter, very little water to drink, except the adjoining river (which leads to run off of urine and feces into the river, which has a detrimental affect on the ecosystem), and poor quality (if any) feed. On one occasion a very skinny horse (easily seen hip, shoulder and rib bones) was eating black, moldy hay. When I inquired about the property, I was disgusted to learn the SPCA had been there on numerous occasions and done nothing. The SPCA stands for PREVENTION OF CRUELTY! How is cruelty being prevented in this situation? Something needs to be done to stop the suffering of all these animals and the poisoning of the ecosystem! Jennifer Thomasson, Christina Lake

Talking about community forests: Part I B.C.’s forest-based communities are facing dramatic changes due to a range of ecological and economic factors. Rural communities and ALEX ATAMANENKO First Nations are looking for alternatives that will help stabilize their local economies and provide long-term employment opportunities. An increasing number of these see community forests as way to meet many of the challenges they face. At its core, community forestry is about local control over, and enjoyment of, the benefits offered by local forest resources on Crown land. Community forest agreements are managed by local governments, First Nations, not-for-profit societies and cooperative organizations interested in the environmental, social and economic health of their community. A community forest agreement allows communities to determine the values and objectives for management of the land surrounding their communities, the methods to achieve those objectives and the benefits that derive from management. The forest tenure in turn leverages unique opportunities for community economic development and diversification. The benefits of community forestry vary from community to community as they each identify their own values and priorities. For example, one rural mountain community has identified water protection as its highest priority, while a First Nation community forest sees education and long-term employment of band members as its key priorities. With community forests typically located in the land surrounding a community, interface planning and fuel management to reduce risk of wildfires is often a management priority. Province-wide, there are 47 operating community forest agreements and an additional 11 communities and First Nations in the application process. While the program has grown significantly, the combined annual harvest represents only 1.5 per cent of the provincial total. To put this in perspective, one company holds licenses for an annual harvest of 2.7 million cubic metres in the Prince George area alone. This is almost double the total amount allocated to the community forest program. The Legislative Assembly of B.C.’s Special Committee on Timber Supply is considering ways to address the pine beetle epidemic related loss of timber supply in the Central Interior. These recommendations are to be examined with due regard to maintaining high environmental standards, protection of critical habitat and key environmental values for the optimal health of communities in an orderly a transition as possible. The committee has asked some fundamental questions including: “How do we support communities with a falling timber supply? How do we do more with less? Can area based tenures help mitigate this issue?” Despite their small footprint, community forests have shown they can provide a range of benefits to communities, First Nations and the province as whole. They are a valuable tool to help communities become more resilient and self-reliant. By increasing the size of existing community forests and making more of these tenures available to additional communities, the contributions of community forests can be much greater. The British Columbia Community Forest Association (BCCFA) is a network of community-based organizations in B.C. that manage community forests or are striving to establish community forests.

Water management workshop in Rock Creek PAY KELLY Boundary Creek Times

Rethinking Our Waterways, a oneday public workshop focusing on a management plan for the watershed was held at the Rock Creek Fairgrounds last Friday. Graham Watt, project co-ordinator of the Kettle River Management Plan (KRMP) is under contract with the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) to oversee the production of the plan. There are two regional district committees involved. Area E Rural Director Bill Baird is chair of the Kettle River Steering Committee and Area C Rural Director Grace McGregor is chair of the Kettle River Study Stakeholder Committee, which includes the participation of some 30 interested citizens who will assist in the planning. The planning department of the regional district and other government offices are also assisting the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today gives us a broader perspective on what peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns are, how active they want to be, what they see as the issues, what they see as the answers to the issues,â&#x20AC;? said McGregor.

A draft State of the Watershed Report was released last June, bringing together the known technical data on the watershed. It is available online at kettleriver. ca Phase 2 of the watershed management planning process will see the rest of this year spent gathering an understanding of watershed issues, values and visions through public meetings and surveys. The first half of 2013 will be spent developing goals, objectives and priorities, while the latter half of the year will see recommendations developed. A draft Watershed Management Plan is due to be published during the first three months of 2014, followed by three months of implementation planning. Last Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workshop was entitled Rethinking Our Water Ways, taken from a 2011 document of the same name published by the Fraser Basin Council (FBC). FBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senior Program Manager Steve Litke shared the experiences and insights of the 15 year-old non-profit group. More information is available from fraserbasin.bc.ca or rethinkingwater.ca Another speaker/facilitator at the

Friday workshop was Nelson Jatel, water stewardship director with the Okanagan Basin Water Board (online at obwb.ca). He focused on helping identify who was missing from the room, but should be involved in the plan. After lunch Watt led some exercises to identify and brainstorm specific issues. Boundary-Similkameen MLA John Slater in attendance and, when asked about the current status of the Modernizing the Water Act initiative, said that legislation is being drafted but he vowed he intends to make sure it will be released to all stakeholders for comment before it is voted on. He anticipates the draft being ready for comment in the spring, with it going before the House in the fall of 2013. Those who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend still have an opportunity to give the steering and stakeholder committees the benefit of local information and local ideas about how to move forward. A survey was delivered to every mailbox in the watershed earlier this month. The survey, with a deadline of Nov. 16, is also available online at kettleriver.ca

Ask an

Expert JEN BURROWS INSURANCE BROKER

What is the difference between insurance value and AssessedValue of my home?

Insurance Replacement Cost Value is very different from your â&#x20AC;&#x153;Assessed Valueâ&#x20AC;?. Your assessed value is based on the current market value including land, depreciation of your home and current market conditions. The Insurance Replacement Cost Value is an estimation of cost to replace your home taking into account new materials without depreciation, the cost of labor and building code update requirements. The calculation will also include an allowance for debris removal. In the case of a total or partial loss, the damaged debris must be removed before any rebuilding can occur. It is very important that your home be insured to its accurate replacement value. Your broker typically will ask to re-evaluate the replacement value of your home every 3 years or sooner if you have made any improvements or renovations to the home. A full review will be done confirming the square footage of your home including any attached deck areas and garage/carports, the type of construction ie: frame, log and the type of finishing noting any custom features. Insurance to value is crucial as it allows the homeowner to have an adequate amount of coverage to rebuild or repair their home in the event of a total or partial loss situation. This also allows the insurance companies to collect premium associated with the risk involved and maintain an adequate reserve to pay claims. As brokers, our commitment to our customers is to help protect your most valuable asset... your home.

Join the B.C. Chamber of Commerce in celebrating Small Business Week from Oct. 14 to 20, 2012. Small and medium-sized businesses are an important part of B.C.’s economic engine. These employers account for 98 per cent of all businesses in the province, and generate over 30 per cent of B.C.’s Gross Domestic Product. Small businesses contribute directly to growing vibrant communities around the province by tapping into local talent and investing directly into the places they work and live. Chambers of Commerce work with local businesses to support and stimulate local economies around the province. As the key representative of the small business community, Chambers of Commerce actively listen to business needs and communicate them directly to government. The Chamber network extends across B.C. and Canada, which ensures that businesses are connected to all levels of government.

Strengthening the Capacity of the Boundary’s Business Community The Boundary Regional Chamber of Commerce can strengthen the capacity of businesses in the region to make a unique impact on the area by helping the region move forward in the areas of fostering a strong business climate, quality of life, community development and tourism. All of this is made possible through collaboration of the business community on a regional level and accomplishing tasks that one individual business or a single community business organization could not do alone. Greater Business and Community Awareness A key element for achieving business growth is raising awareness of the products and services offered. BCRCC assits its members and the communities in the region in generating and increasing awareness of the variety of products and services available in the region. Increased Cost Effectiveness Small communities with a limited number of businesses will continue to struggle to adequately support a local business organization at a level that will enable it to function effectively. BCRCC pools its resources in support of communities and the businesses within those communities will realize benefits in a far more cost effective way, while reducing duplication. Strengthened Advocacy In any professional organization, strength and

influence are drawn from one characteristic – a unified voice. BCRCC provides its members with the opportunity to speak with a unified voice. Improved Marketing and More Effective Tourism Promotion Cost effectiveness and increased membership base, combined with regional co-ordination, result in more effective marketing of the region, both from a business attraction and a business promotion perspective as well as strengthening the business community’s capacity to be more effective in developing the region’s growing tourism sector; marketing to attract travelers, arts and cultural events participants, sporting event participants and spectators, group tours, etc. Increased Collaboration and Improved Access to Funding Many sectors, such as the tourism and high-tech sectors, require a broad regional collaboration among various players to be successful. BCRCC provides the coordination necessary to develop strong regional alliances increasing the opportunities to secure available funding. Enhanced Membership Services BCRCC has access to many partnerships and benefit programs that provide a variety of discounts and medical, travel and insurance benefits for its members.

BCSS to see rise in school fees CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Boundary Central Secondary School (BCSS) will be adding an additional $25 to their school fees for student athletes. The fee was added to offset the rising costs of transportation and registration for students participating in school sports. “BCSS had an ‘Ah-ha!’ moment with the expenses they were experiencing as they were taking teams to tournaments,” explained School District 51 Superintendent of Schools Michael Strukoff. “There’s always registration fees and tournament fees, and all of that was coming out of their operating and P.E. (physical education) budgets. They felt it was time that

they would join what was happening to the rest of schools, not only Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS), but all the other schools.” The issue of including the additional fee for BCSS students arose last June. Strukoff noted that BCSS was asked to consult with GFSS over the fee. “BCSS made a conscious decision for just this amount,” said Strukoff. At GFSS, there is a sports team transportation fee of $35 for Grade 8 students, $50 for juniors, and $75 for senior students per sport. There is also a sports team uniform deposit that is $60 to $100, which is dependent on the sport and refunded upon return of the uniform.

Bus replacements, class sizes and a new playground were some of the issues discussed during the School District 51 regular agenda meeting on Oct. 9. Class sizes and head count There was one Grade 6/7 mix class that had over 30 students at Christina Lake Elementary School (CLES) and the teacher was given monetary support from the Learning Improvement Funds. “Our two intermediate classes at Christina Lake, the Grade 4/5 and Grades 6/7, will come down to 28 and 29 students, which will put us down to the legislated classes size limits very shortly,” said Michael Strukoff, superintendent of schools for SD51. “There will not be any additional additions added to that school.” Jeanette Hanlon, secretary treasurer for SD51, added that though class sizes look good enrollment for students is down from last year. “Christina Lake Elementary students grew but Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS) saw a loss with the Grade 12 students leaving,” she said. “There were also kids who moved out of the district or transferred to home schooling.” Superintendent search The board, stakeholders and staff are currently advertising for the position of Superintendent of Schools. “A September meeting was held with stakeholder groups seeking input,” said Hanlon. “The board hopes to have the candidate selected by the end of November or early December.” Strukoff, along with Director of Instruction Maxine Ruzicka and Louise Bayles, principal for Boundary Central Secondary School in Midway, will be retiring in July 2013. Capital bylaw for energy manager School board trustees voted to adopt the Capital Project Bylaw No. 126424, which is aimed at school districts who don’t have energy managers or specialists. “The bylaw allows people to engage with those specialists,” said Hanlon. “The bylaw is $7,317 to engage with someone so that next time there is an opportunity to apply for the money, we have some projects that we can do.” Hanlon noted that some school districts were able to go through FortisBC and BC Hydro to hire energy managers and

the companies paid for it. “We are a smaller district and FortisBC in this area didn’t provide any of that expertise,” she said. “We are going to engage somebody to help us figure out what other sort of energy efficient projects we can do at our district to save energy. This will give us an idea of projects that we could do so that we can apply for the money.” She pointed out that the bylaw is capital from the ministry, and would not cost the school board. Bus Replacement The school district is looking to replace up to four buses in the next two years due to aging and rust on the buses. “The criteria to replace a bus are 13 years old for buses our size (the size of the buses) or 325,000 kilometres,” explained Hanlon. Hanlon noted that two buses have rust on them, while the other two are aging as well. “We’re going to take the chance that (the Ministry of Education) might replace all four,” she said. “They may delay it and say we’ll replace the first two but not the last two.” Older buses have previously sold but some are kept as spares. New Greenwood Elementary School playground Greenwood Elementary School will be getting a new playground after receiving a provincial grant. Darryl Turner, principal of Greenwood Elementary School, explained that the $50,000 grant was a welcome surprise he received last June. “There’s a bunch of new types of playgrounds with cables and climbing and rocks,” he said. “I familiarized with what would work at intermediate schools, platform versus climbing, and then I started thinking about downsizing one and upsizing the other or if we could do a combination.” Turner started working with two different companies but settled with Henderson Recreation Equipment after much discussion. “We ordered the playground in late July and selected the colours in early August,” he concluded. “The kids can climb in and through all the cables with the safety of the steel structure on the outside; it minimized the danger but maximizes the playability of it.” The playground is set to be installed by the end of October with help from the city and local residents.

Kindergarten to Grand 3 students in Grand Forks will be part of a new Ministry of Education initiative program to support early readers called Changing Results for Young Readers. Hutton Elementary School Principal Doug Lacey noted that the program will look at reading practices and various strategies to promote literacy. “Three of us went down to Richmond in late August to find out what this new initiative is about,” Lacey explained. “Basically, the province has put together teams of educators being guided by early literacy and early educator experts in British Columbia to lead a literacy and inquiry based change processes in all 60 districts.” There are 25 facilitators assigned to different districts and will work with local early-reading advocates. In School District 51 (SD51), Tammy Jacobs and Marilyn Strukoff will be joined by up to 10 other teachers to work with the district facilitator on this initiative. The facilitator for SD51 will be Terry Taylor, who is also an administrator at Arrow Lakes. In his presentation, Lacey said that the district team would meet seven times over the course of the year.

This program is also funded by the ministry. “We will be considering early reading practices, many of which we got to see through different presenters at the conference, leaving us with various skills, strategies and techniques that we may want to look at for supporting engaging young readers,” added Lacey. “They’re really looking for focuses on social and emotional learning, self-regulation and development to help and support in developing literacy in young students.” Lacey noted that this program is more of a qualitative analysis, rather than a quantitative study, which will involve more reflection and discussions about what is happening to children in the classrooms. “This will be done through storytelling, which is similar to the model of Aboriginal learning,” he said. “It’s kind of neat because when these teacher’s come, they’re going to be thinking of one child in their classroom that is really struggling in reading. As a team, we’ll hone a way or strategy for the teacher to take back and use to support that child.” The idea behind this concept, Lacey noted, was that once that child improves, it would have a positive effect for all the children in the classroom. “It sounds very good,” said trustee Ken Harshenin. “We’re looking forward to see what happens.” The first district team meeting is slated for Oct. 22.

Pesticide resentment misguided GARY SMITH Submitted

Congratulations Grand Forks! Ten tonnes of organic material was kept out of the Landfill in just the first 2 weeks of the Green Bin program. Well done! Reducing what gets buried at the Landfill will extend the life of the Landfill by decades, will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and will save hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars in the long run. Up to 85% of what used to be in your trash containers can now be recycled in your blue bags every 2nd week or collected in your Green Bin every week. Remember that RDKB/GF expects Kettle Valley Waste drivers to pick up only 1 bag/container of trash per household in the next round of trash collection October 23-25. If you have any questions about the new schedule, or requirements for the Green Bin collection, go to the GF or RDKB websites or phone 1.800.355.7352 for answers.

Over the last decade there has been a growing resentment towards pesticides and pesticide use. This is especially true where pesticide use for cosmetic purposes is concerned. Unfortunately, the feeling is often guided either by a lack of information or by misinformation. This has, in some cases, led to governments issuing bans based on information that is not supported by science, but rather supported by fear. Science has come a long way since the Green Revolution in the 1950s. Chemical pesticides are “softer,” in that they are increasingly target specific, less injurious to beneficial insects and are less persistent in the environment. Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has some of the best laboratories in the world and before any pesticide is approved, it undergoes rigorous testing to ensure that risks associated with casual exposures are minimal, particularly where domestic-use products are concerned. It is in the industry’s own best interest to ensure that products are both effective and safe. In B.C., we have the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Act, which replaced the Pesticide Act in 2004. It is a comprehensive piece of legislation aimed at risk and harm reduction in the use of pesticides. A summary can be found at www.al.gov.bc.ca/pesticides/i_4.htm. A recent review of the legislation by the Special Committee on Cosmetic Pesticides found that a provincial ban was not necessary

and made 17 recommendations to strengthen the act. To quote the final paragraph in the executive summary of the final report: “The Committee believes these recommendations will protect British Columbians from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, will provide improved education, will lead to safer use by unlicensed applicators, and will encourage the overall reduction of pesticide use while providing individuals, businesses and industries with access to the tools necessary to enhance their personal green spaces, and control pests and invasive species.” - Special Committee on Cosmetic Pesticides Report, May 2012 During this Pesticide Awareness Week (Oct. 17 to 24), I encourage everyone to inform themselves better on pesticide use and to turn an eye to other methods of pest control that help to reduce the need for chemicals. Have a look in your sheds and get rid of products that are no longer sold, as there are plenty of “softer” products available. When choosing a product, always look at the active ingredient guarantee. Some products are sold as being “green” and are more expensive but have the exact active ingredient as a product that has been available for years at a lesser cost. Finally, everyone that brings pesticides to the regional landfill will have a chance to win one of three prizes of Gaia Green Organic Fertilizer valued at $50 each. After all, healthy soils make for healthy plants. Healthy plants are better able to resist pests and disease, and thereby reduce the need for pesticides. It’s a win-win.

Results from the Boundary Horse Association’s Halloween show Submitted

It was a “spooktacular” three days, in Grand Forks, at the Boundary Horse Association’s Halloween Horse Show, which ran from Oct. 12 to 14. Our judge was Cindy Ryan from Cranbrook. Riders and horses were treated to a great show, which included a full schedule of classes from Dressage, Jumping and English to Western and Gymkhana. The Halloween costume class was a real hoot with some very creative entries. New this year was a “Hoof and Woof” class, where horse and rider were partnered by draw, with a dog from the local dog agility club. The team separately runs an obstacle course to combine their scores. It was lots of fun for all. The rosettes and ribbons were orange, black and white in keeping with the Halloween theme. There were treat bags and prizes for riders and horses.

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

In an effort to promote positive thinking and healthy living, Grand Forks’ Taylor Konken-deHaan and Justin Doubosiff have created the Brain Detox Network. The Brain Detox Network features uplifting videos on YouTube aimed at inspiring people to think positive despite the negativity in the world and to increase fitness in everybody’s lives. “We decided to start the network because it seems like the entire world is in a mass state of negativity,” explained Konken-deHaan. “Everyone is so quick to get way too stressed out, or they let the slightest things ruin their day. We really want to break that trend and help people realize that life is actually supposed to be fun and not just a big ball of stress and anger.” Konken-deHaan hopes that the project will take off and one day become a sustainable organization.

O F ALL INQUIR E

“We are going to put all our time and effort into changing peoples lives,” he said. “Our page is always being updated with new inspirational videos and things of the sort, including some videos we make ourselves.” Along with videos created by Konken-deHaan and Doubosiff, their site features videos from other people, inspirational quotes and sayings, and little tips on how to stay positive. Konken-deHaan pointed out that their introductory video on YouTube titled “What we want to accomplish” has a break down on what they hope to achieve. “I just want to ask people that if they like some of what we are saying or what we are trying to do, to share this information with others,” he concluded. “An idea like this can change the world, we just have to let it.” To watch their videos, visit youtube.com/user/braindetoxnet, on Facebook at facebook.com/thebraindetoxnetwork, or Twitter at @brain_detox_net.

Locals promote positivity online

The history of the Slocan Valley is synonymous with the people who have travelled through it, enjoyed its abundant resources and built their homes and communities there. Rita Moir, who has made her home in the valley since 1975, is one of those people. Moir presents her beautiful book of image and essay, The Third Crop: A personal and historical journey into the photo albums and shoeboxes of the Slocan Valley 1800s to early 1940s, at the Grand Forks and District Public Library on Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m. In The Third Crop, Moir embarks on

a personal journey through memorabilia found in private albums, dusty shoeboxes and community archives, skillfully and passionately recounting the stories of an era that was pivotal in forming the character of the valley. More than 160 historic photographs are beautifully juxtaposed with contemporary images of the valley. The Third Crop is Moir’s fourth book. Survival Gear, Buffalo Jump: A Woman’s Travels and The Windshift Line: A Father and Daughter’s Story have all been shortlisted for or have won awards, including B.C.’s Hubert Evans award.

Granby Wilderness Society working to create bat house project CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

The concern of a declining bat population has the Granby Wilderness Society pairing up with other local organizations to create bat houses within Grand Forks. The Boundary Air Quality Committee met on Sept. 20 and has allotted $500 from their budget to support this project. During her presentation, project co-ordinator Jenny Coleshill noted that there has been a lot of interest in bats recently. “People don’t like bats and even Interior Health put up a bulletin not too long ago that says if you have bats, call an exterminator. There was the whole rabies thing as well,” she said. “There’s been 25 people in the last century in North America who have received rabies from bats.” Coleshill said that they started to talk about bats in the Grand Forks and Boundary area and discovered that the Boundary Museum Society had some bat houses that were donated to them. “The Christina Lake Stewardship society is really interested as well, and we thought that the bat houses might serve several purposes, including educational purposes and also as awesome natural mosquito control,” she added. “Coun. Gary (Smith) thought it would be great to have several bat houses up around Grand Forks and we decided (to put the posts up) by the wetland behind the cemetery and the wetland by the Trans Canada Trail between the highway and Kettle River Drive.” Wetlands are known for have a large population of mosquitoes, and though there are areas in Grand Forks that are sprayed to keep the population down, the wetlands are not. The project will be aided by the Boundary Woodworker’s Guild through the Boundary Museum Society, who will be cutting out several templates for bat houses, including a regular locket box and a nursery box.

Coleshill pointed out that the creation of the box houses would involve youth groups of sorts, from Girl Guides, high school biology classes, or interested public. The Boundary Museum Society also plans to start up an environmental youth group in the future. “We’re thinking the city (of Grand Forks) can provide the pole trucks to get the poles up,” she said. “We do want to follow up with them and monitor it to see if they are being used and that can be done next summer. Research will be involved as well.” Smith, also a board member, noted that the poles are 20 feet (six metres) tall, which is a good height for bat homes. “We’ll be asking for an in-kind donation from city council for the use of a pole truck,” he added. Coleshill explained that the decline of bats could be attributed to loss of habitat and the white nose syndrome. “In Ontario, the bat population has been decimated by the white nose syndrome which is a fungus that originally originated from Asia,” she explained. “It’s made its way over here and Ontario has pretty much lost much of their bat population. The fungus is moving westward and we’re hoping that the Rocky Mountains is what will prevent it from spreading further.” The white nose syndrome is a fungus that gets into the bats nose and becomes an irritant. As the bats hibernate through the winter, the syndrome wakes them up and disturbs their metabolism. “We also hope this will be an educational process for people who do have bats so that they can contact us and we can help them get the bats out of their attics if they don’t’ want them, but through an alternate method,” Coleshill said. “It’s just the beginning of a bigger project.” There are roughly four to five different bat species located within Grand Forks and the Boundary area. A single bat is known to eat hundreds of insects a day, which keep the population of insects down.

The Kootenay Robusters recently ended their 2012 paddling season with a Carnation Ceremony at Christina Lake. Once a year, the team has a tradition of pausing to remember members who have passed away from breast cancer, to encourage those who are presently fighting to restore their health and to renew their commitment the goals of the team. These are to experience physical, emotional, spiritual and mental wellness at a level that is com-

fortable but personally challenging. Through the paddling experience, Robusters aim to raise awareness and to demonstrate the uplifting truth that there is life after breast cancer. After a moment of silence to remember the eight team members who have passed away, and the many others who never had the opportunity to join the team, Robusters tossed pink carnations into the water as they sang the words to Garth Brooks’ ballad The River..

The Kootenay Robusters have arrived home from the 17th annual Kaiser Permanente International Dragon Boat Festival in San Francisco pleased with their accomplishments. They took part in five races and while the team paddled well, it soon became apparent that they weren’t going to win medals. As the only breast cancer survivor team in the festival (and with an average age of 62) it was unlikely that the team would beat the Amazonian young women in the ultra-competitive women’s division. In order to fit in a few more races the Robusters also entered the mixed division, which wasn’t much better, since they had to compete against teams with 12 men and eight women. There just wasn’t a division in the festival that fit their profile. Still, the Robusters headed out on the course with the same focus that they bring to every festival, and were soon impressing spectators and other teams with their precision, positive attitude and ironical team cheer, “Bust or no bust, we are robust!” Surprisingly, dragon boat racing as a sport for breast cancer survivors has not reached the same levels of participation in California as in other areas. Few other paddlers at the San Francisco festival knew the story of how Dr. Don MacKen-

zie, of the Sports Medicine Clinic at UBC, who recruited a dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors to take part in research on breast cancer surgery and upper body exercise. That made the Robusters’ presence at the festival even more important since one of the team goals is to raise breast cancer awareness and demonstrate the fact that exercise has a role in cancer prevention, as well as in helping survivors return to good health. As the festival unfolded, it soon became clear that the Robusters were inspiring others, as breast cancer survivors from other teams came to talk to them. As one young woman, who just finished cancer treatment, put it, “I watched your races and thought you looked great, just like a pink ribbon on the water. Now I can’t wait to get back home and start working on setting up a survivor team. If you can do it, I can too!” The Robusters’ paddling season for 2012 is winding down but team members would like to invite any interested women, survivors or not, to consider paddling with us next year. To anyone else who would like to support the team (and the oncology unit of the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital), please buy a copy of the beautiful 2013 Kootenay Calendar, available at stores throughout the Kootenays.

Bruins earn point vs. Braves KARL YU Gazette Editor

The Grand Forks Border Bruins put on one of their best home performances of the season but lost a 3-2 heart-breaker in two overtimes to the Spokane Braves. The Border Bruins entered the third period down 2-0 but goals by Tyson Glass and Connor Gross tied the affair and after going scoreless in the first overtime (OT) period, where it was four skaters aside, the Braves’ Paxton Bell score in the second OT where it was three-on-three. The team did earn a point for the overtime loss. Grand Forks goalie Robert Dunsmuir, who was selected as the game’s second star, was stellar in goal, stopping 46 of 49 shots fired his way and while he would’ve liked the win, was happy with the way the team played. “It was one of our best efforts of the season so far,” Dunsmuir said after the game. “We made a couple of (personnel) changes this past week and I definitely think we’re headed in the right direction and I think we showed it tonight. We had a really strong game. I think we deserved to win but just didn’t get the bounces; I think we have a really good shot at making the playoffs this year.” Head Coach Nick Deschenes said that the night’s effort was a big step forward for the team and while the team hasn’t gone through four-onfour and three-on-three situations at practice yet, he did think the team worked well in the two extra frames.

Grand Forks forward Connor Gross scored the tying goal in a game on Saturday night.

“I briefly told them between periods how to play it and they responded pretty well and played it as we asked,” Deschenes said. One of the new players is goalie Dominic Stadnyk, who ironically, was in net for the Beaver Valley Nitehawks in the Border Bruins’ only win this season. Dunsmuir started in goal again for a home game against the Kamloops Storm the next day (an 8-6 loss) and was replaced by Stadnyk in the third. Jackson Purvis, Gross, Chris Osellame, Luke Jones, Connor Kidd, and Kublai Barlas scored for the Border Bruins against Kamloops. Following a home game against the Castlegar Rebels this Thursday (Oct. 18) the Grand Forks Border Bruins will head to Fruitvale to play the Nitehawks on Friday (Oct. 19) and Nelson to play the Leafs on Saturday (Oct. 20).

Winter’s coming, time to skate LILLY BRYANT Submitted

With the advent of affordable computer games and electronic pastimes many children have started to lead sedentary lifestyles which can lead to obesity and, later in life, health problems such as heart disease. Taking up an active hobby such as skating can help a child to keep fit and healthy, whilst also leading to good habits in adulthood. Skating is a relatively low cost pastime for many families. The only equipment you need is a pair of skates and some protective gear. This is essential, especially if the child is inexperienced or taking part in a particularly fast, aggressive session of skating. A good quality pair of skates is relatively inexpensive, especially if you buy from a specialist company. Public skating is offered at Grand Forks Arena throughout the week. Monday morning, Success by Six has sponsored free skating for children under six years of age.

Bob DeMaertelaere, secretary for the BMS explained that a roof would be put on top of two storage containers to provide a secure space for the artifacts, such as the recently completed stagecoach. The storage containers would also have false fronts on the outside that would allow them to blend in with the surrounding buildings. “We got a grant from the Vancouver Foundation for a fairly substantial amount of money,” he added, noting the grant helped provide the storage containers. “The problem with these grants is that you have to find matching funds. The Vancouver Foundation covers 40 per cent, the Boundary Museum Society can cover 20 per cent on their own in money in-kind and the other 40 per cent has to come from somewhere else.” DeMaertelaere noted that the Grand Forks Recreation Society has supplied a portion of the remaining 40 per cent, but BMS is still short on completing the grant by $6,000. “We won’t be in too bad of a shape for another year or two,” he said. “Hopefully, down the road, we can get a bigger building to house some of the bigger stuff. I just got back from looking at a big horse driven winch that was used for mining, which is another project and something rare that should be protected.” The Hardy Mountain Doukhobor Village has been owned by TLC since March 2004 and is on 16.9 acres (6.8 hectares) of property with the re-

mains of the Makortoff Doukhobor Village on it. The Land Conservancy had intended to restore the property but there has been no developments in the past two years. DeMaertelaere noted that it might take several years before the Hardy Mountain Doukhobor site is completed. “So rather than take that chance, we should take the artifacts out of there and put them at the Fructova where we can keep an eye on things a little better and it’s more secure,” he said. BMS and the Hardy Mountain Doukhobor Village have been working together for several years in the upkeep of local artifacts. “Our agreement was to supply artifacts to them so they will go right back up there but it’s hard because there hasn’t been much enthusiasm up for the Doukhobor site,” he said. “We work together as much as possible. The museum would be responsible for supplying the artifacts to the old house and yard. It’s a very expensive undertaking and the problem with going back to a heritage type of house through the government is that everything has to be done exactly like it was when it was first built. If there are any renovations to the house that you can identify, you have to take them out and put it back as it originally was.” In Castlegar, DeMaertelaere pointed out that they created a replica Doukhobor house, which was faster and simpler. “The artifacts are safe and we’re working and getting more display space for everyone,” DeMaertelaere concluded. “I just hate seeing artifacts cooped up somewhere where people can’t see them.” The Boundary Museum will be closed for the season but is open to arranged appointments.

Flu season is approaching and public health nurses across Interior Health are gearing up for the launch of this year’s influenza (flu) vaccination campaign. Public flu clinics will begin in some communities this week. “There are many myths and misconceptions about the flu shot so it’s important for people to get accurate information to help them stay healthy,” said Dr. Rob Parker, medical health officer with Interior Health. “For example, the flu shot cannot give you the flu. The vaccine used in B.C. contains dead influenza viruses that cannot cause infection.” Influenza is a highly contagious infection and can be very serious, especially for those with heart, lung and other health problems. In years when influenza is widespread in B.C., hundreds of people may die from influenza or its complications, such as pneumonia. “The two most important ways to protect yourself from getting the flu are to wash your hands frequently and get your flu shot,” said Parker. “Flu vaccinations are a proven, safe and effective way to reduce your chances of getting the flu. The flu shot also lessens the severity of symptoms for those who do get the flu.” In B.C. the flu vaccine is free for: • People 65 years and older and their caregivers/household contacts • All children age six to 59 months of age • Household contacts and caregivers of infants newborn to 59 months of age • Children and adults with chronic health conditions and their household contacts • Aboriginal people • Children and adolescents (six months to REMATION 18 years) with condiRNS tions treated for long periods of time with LACK RANITE Aspirin or ASA and EADSTONES their household contacts Your last dedication • Residents of nursto your loved one... ing homes and other chronic care facilities Classic Design • Pregnant women Studio who will be in their third trimester dur250-442-2445 ing influenza season DELIVERY in 1-7 DAYS

Jack Leslie Kingswood It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Jack Leslie Kingswood on October 3, 2012 at the age of 78. Jack was born on March 11, 1934 in Port Arthur, Ontario. He married Eloise Burnell on October 31, 1959. He never did tell us whether it was a trick or a treat. Their daughter Vada Jane was born on June 30, 1960. In October of 1966 the family packed up and moved to B.C. where Jack was employed by Commercial Truck and Crane. On March 16, 1969 they welcomed their son Warren and their family was complete. Jack became a shareholder in Action Crane Services until moving to Grand Forks, B.C. in 1981 where he worked for the Highways Department until his retirement in 1992. In 1995, Jack and Eloise moved to the Okanagan. Jack was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was a lifetime member of Operating Engineers and a Life Member of The Oliver Amateur Radio Club. He enjoyed Àshing, sailing, golÀng, riding motorcycles and woodworking and in his younger years he would never say no to a good party. After retirement Jack enjoyed time with his family especially his grandsons. Jack was predeceased by his parents Jack Sr. and Vada Kingswood, brother Gayle Kingswood, grandmother Mable Turk Jones, mother and father-in-law Bud and Jane Burnell and brother-in-law Buster Burnell. Jack will lovingly be remembered by his wife of 52 years Eloise; daughter Vada Jane; son Warren (Lisa); grandsons Zachery, Blake, Michael and David; sister Vale (Dale) Savege; sisters-in-law Darlene Kingswood, Simone Diana (Roy) and Cindy Burnell; brother-in-law Art Burnell and numerous nieces and nephews. A memorial will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, October 20 at the Kelowna Sandman Hotel, 2130 Harvey Avenue, Kelowna, B.C. In memory of Jack donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

After a successful pilot period, the library outreach service from the Grand Forks and District Public Library to Christina Lake is entering its second year. Ted Invictus, board chair for the Grand Forks Public Library Association, noted that aside from one complaint, he’s heard nothing but positive reviews. “Everybody who has been there and is involved with the new location (at the Christina Lake Welcome Centre), which is more suitable to the requirements of a library, is happy with it and I’ve received great feedback,” he said. “I believe that it’s blossoming to become a really valuable resource.” Invictus noted that the pilot program started last year to determine what the response from the community at the lake would be and if there was any interest. Avi Silberstein, library director at the Grand Forks and District Public Library, concurred. “We definitely want to improve the program,” Silberstein said. “It’s a little tricky because I am new here so I don’t have a sense of what the community in Grand Forks or Christina Lake want.” Residents at Christina Lake can borrow books from the library in several ways, noted Silberstein, with a perma-

nent collection of books that remain at the Christina Lake Welcome Centre. “Folks that use that collection can also order from the collection in the Grand Forks library, so they can place a book on hold from the website,” said Silberstein. “The same applies with inter-library loans. If they want to borrow a book from UBC (the University of British Columbia), we can bring it out to the lake as well.” To order online, rather than selecting the pickup option of Grand Forks, there is a scroll down option for Christina Lake. Residents can also call the library to put a book on hold. Future changes may include a permanent book return box so residents can return their books at their own convenience, though there won’t be any additional days for the service at the lake at this point. Invictus pointed out that the biggest restraint to having more hours at the lake is budgetary. “The requirements of having a staff member out there (at the lake) means we have to have a staff member here at the library covering the person who has left the building,” said Invictus. The library is available to Christina Lake residents every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Christina Lake Welcome Centre. To borrow a book, visit grandforks.bclibrary.ca.
