In another bizarre twist for the Boundary-Similkameen riding, the NDP’s candidate for MLA has suddenly declared that she will not be running in the May 2013 election. Effective Monday, the release from the provincial NDP reads, Marji Basso has resigned her candidacy. Basso’s resignation falls close on the heels of the resignation from the Liberal caucus by John Slater, the sitting Liberal MLA for Boundary-Similkameen. It also comes after a mysterious blog post by political commentator Alex Tsakumis, who, last Thursday, published a column directed at both Slater and Basso, entitled “Please call me ASAP … I won’t wait past today.” Tsakumis claimed to have “exceedingly disturbing information” about Slater and Basso that would hand the riding to Linda Larson, the new Liberal candidate, if released. “The details of what I have are demonstrable proof that neither Basso nor Slater have the principled judgment to be in public life,” reads Tsakumis’ column, which requested both candidates call him before he decided to publish his information. In response to an e-mail questioning her on the subject of the Tsakumis column, Basso simply replied: “Trying to straighten it out now, thanks.” BC NDP Provincial secretary Jan O’Brien said he received a letter from Basso Sunday, stating she was stepping down for personal reasons. Tsakumis said that Slater contacted him, though Basso did not contact him directly. “I spoke to John Slater, he called me and was very frank and honest. I appreciated that,” said Tsakumis, who lists among his credits that he is a former provincial aide and a political advisor to former premier Bill Vander Zalm during his time in office. “She (Basso) never called me, she had her surrogates from the NDP central office call me, which I thought was terribly cowardly,” continued Tsakumis. Basso, who was selected as candidate just last year, has not made any public comments about her reasons for stepping away from the NDP candidacy. “We accept Ms. Basso’s resignation,” said O’Brien. “We will be working with the local NDP constituency association to begin the candidate nomination process as quickly as possible.” Tsakumis wouldn’t go on the record with what his information was, though he does say he has verified it and its release would have been

damaging both personally and politically to the two candidates. He is, however, satisfied with the outcome, now that both Basso and Slater have resigned and he has no plans to release the information or continue with the story. “I think that is the right thing for both of them to do,” said Tsakumis. “It just demonstrates that they both care more about their families than they do about being in public life. I think that’s refreshing. “ Depending on how you count them, Basso’s resignation is the third for Boundary-Similkameen in the last week. On Jan. 14, Slater announced his resignation, protesting the party’s refusal to endorse his candidacy for the upcoming spring provincial election. But Slater announced that not only would he be sitting as an independent for the remainder of his term, he would also be running as an independent candidate in the next election, a decision that by Friday, he was reconsidering. While the B.C. Liberal party would only say that they felt he has “personal issues” that would negatively affect his ability to represent the party, rumours came to light that Slater had issues with alcohol, something that both he and his riding president, Zach Poturica, denied.
Slater endured what he called “a brutal week” of questions about why the party had chosen not to support him. Today, Slater’s office issued a release confirming that Slater had chosen not to run, citing the politics of personal destruction as his reason. “The past couple of weeks have been an extremely emotional roller coaster ride for me. This brutal experience has shown me how tough smear- and fear-based politics can be on people and their families. It is too high a price to pay, at least for me,” said Slater, in his release. “I cannot put my family or myself through the continual barrage of innuendos and smear which have been launched against me, and which will continue until I withdraw as a candidate in the upcoming provincial election. So I say, “Enough!” Slater said he was grateful for both the trust the people of the riding placed in him when he was elected as MLA, as well as to those who supported him over the past couple of weeks. “Finally, I apologize to those I am letting down by dropping out of the race. I hope you can understand why I cannot continue with my campaign. It is just too much,” said Slater. Neither Basso nor Slater is presently available for comments regarding their decisions.

1908 A large meeting of North Fork settlers was held in the schoolhouse to once again draw the attention of the authorities to the conditions of the roads in the district. 1913 The Grand Forks hockey team took the lead in the race for the Boundary Hockey League Championship, defeating Phoenix, 7-4. 1918 Two shifts of three men each were working at the recently-opened Providence mine near Greenwood, to ore estimated to average about $200 per ton. 1923 H.W. Collins, one of the best known ranchers in the valley, acquired the 100acre orchard of the Grand Forks Orchard Company. 1933 Counterfeit money, which has been emanating for some time from the B.C. Interior, was finally traced to a local businessman, a proprietor of a store in west Grand Forks. 1938 Greenwood was to have an exciting civic election, with 11 candidates, three of them being married women, all competing for six seats on council. 1943 Preliminary shipments of siliceous ore from a property south of town, to the consolidated company’s smelter in Trail, were going forward by truck from the property to the CPR siding at Grand Forks.
1948 Axel Gronquist sailed during the winter from New York to Sweden where he was to visit with his father and relatives. 1953 During a routine check of pole lines, West Kootenay Power and Light employees discovered two dynamite bombs attached to poles near Billings, the bombs apparently having been there for some time. 1958 Don Manly succeeded William Penman as Grand Forks Board of Trade president. 1963 The highways department called for tenders for the construction of a doubletunnel at the approach to Greenwood. 1968 Aldermen-elect Mike J. McGarry, Dr. J.P. Bekker and Nick W.

First-place elk went to Leona Robinson (266-5/8); first-place whitetail, Rose Boltz (121-3/8); second-place moose, Donna Boltz (101); and, secondplace black bear, Rose Boltz (17-12/16). 2008 The Boundary Museum Society is seeking an injunction to prevent the city from removing artifacts from the existing museum building.

z ELECTRICAL UTILITY
Council votes to raise residential electric rates by 6.6 per cent
JIM HOLTZ
For the Grand Forks Gazette
Electrical rate changes in Grand Forks will likely mean an extra $11.80 on the average residential electric bill. City council tentatively approved the rate hike at the Jan. 14 council meeting following a report by electrical utility consultant Alex Love that showed FortisBC was raising its rates. Love recommended a 6.6 per cent increase for residential users and a 4.5 per cent increase for commercial users. That, Love said, would allow the city to meet the increase in charges by FortisBC, yet still keep the electricity rate for Grand Forks residents and businesses below what FortisBC would charge them directly. Grand Forks is charged for electricity by FortisBC at a wholesale rate, which increased by 5.8 per cent. The wholesale rate is lower than the rate FortisBC would charge its customers directly. The city then supplies Grand Forks residents and businesses at a rate, which is above wholesale, but still two per cent lower than the rate that FortisBC would charge them. Coun. Michael Wirischagin questioned Love’s recommendations on two issues. In his report, Love stated that the actual rate charged for electricity to commercial users directly by Forts BC was going down by 4.7 per cent, yet Grand Forks was raising the commercial rate by 4.5 per cent. Wirischagin wondered why there was a difference. In response, Love said, “Fortis has many commercial rates; they also have demand charges. Grand Forks does not have any demand charges. The demand charge would be approximately 20 per cent on top of the energy charge.” A demand
charge is a surcharge that FortisBC applies to commercial users who require large amounts of power. The current rate is $7.52 for every kilowatt (kW) above 40 kW. According to the FortisBC website, it charges “customers on their maximum demand because at one point they used this power. We then need to ensure that our infrastructure is able to support that peak in the event that it is required again. By measuring demand, FortisBC is better able to ensure that its equipment is adequately sized and customers are fairly charged for their capacity needs.” The city only charges commercial customers for the energy actually used. Wirischagin’s second concern was the size of the increase. He wondered if the 6.6 per cent increase could be phased in over an entire year. “We could,“ Love said, “but that would drive us to go into a still higher increase (to make up for the amount not collected in the beginning). Love concluded by giving some reassurance that there should not be a need for any further increase this year. “In the past there have been multiple rate increases (from Fortis), one at this time of year and then again in the spring, depending on the increases from BC Hydro. But FortisBC has changed (its) business model and so now, whatever (the rate is), it is, and they will (align) it up next year instead of every few months.” Council gave three readings to the amendment to the bylaw with Wirischagin voting against in each of the three readings; final adoption is expected at an upcoming meeting.

z Our View
Don’t feed deer, in Ucluelet or anywhere While the Ucluelet, B.C. situation involving resident Janet Schwartz and a domesticated deer named Bimbo is far removed from Grand Forks, there are lessons locals can learn. A few week’s ago, Ministry of Environment officials suggested Bimbo be removed, after all, Bimbo is technically wildlife, but have since changed its mind and allowed the domesticated deer to stay with Schwartz. It’s a good idea, as the deer has no idea how to survive in the wild – it has been with Schwartz for 10 years and the “owner” has been feeding the pet cookies, pop and chips, according to reports. The deer has been living like a human for too long and wouldn’t know how to forage and would likely end up coming back to Schwartz’s residence. What isn’t a good idea is that Schwartz has kept the deer as a pet for over a decade. Deer aren’t pets but are wildlife. You can’t go the pet store and buy a deer nor can you adopt one from the SPCA. Neither are deer human, able to survive on a diet of junk food; they are herbivores that survive on vegetation. Of course, Schwartz is happy to keep the pet she is improperly feeding and she is said to have kept the deer tethered outside her home, which isn’t good for an animal that roams. She refers to the deer as her child yet she is doing Bimbo no favours with the way she is pampering the deer. Wildlife veterinarians have expressed concern about the deer, saying it is getting obese and its teeth are likely sustaining damage from the sugary snacks being offered. Schwartz may think she is helping Bimbo but she is having the opposite effect and should be ashamed of herself. The Ucluelet resident took the deer in after it was orphaned and she thinks she is doing the right thing but one only shudders to think that feeding a deer sweets and allowing it to sleep in a human bed is in Bimbo’s best interests. Like Ucluelet, Grand Forks and any other areas with deer, leave them alone and allow them to develop on instinct. Schwartz in her misguided way has good intentions but that is what they say the road to hell is paved with.
Question of the Week
from www.grandforksgazette.ca Are you happy with the BC Liberals’ work in the Boundary-Similkameen riding?
YES 33%
Once again, living proof that our area, in this case the Boundary-Similkameen riding, is not some sleepy little area. Within the last two weeks, I’ve had to scramble on Monday to get stories on the local provincial political scene – Mondays are when the Gazette lays out the issue that comes out the following Wednesday. Last week, incumbent MLA and BC Liberal John Slater announced he had left his party, after it refused to endorse him in the May provincial election. He said he would stay on as MLA but at the time, he told me he hadn’t made a decision about running in May. He subsequently said he would run but changed his mind and won’t. I remember thinking to myself that the odds just turned in NDP provincial candidate Marji Basso’s favour, as she had
z Yu Speak
KARL YU
been campaigning relentlessly across the riding, even making a number of appearances here in Grand Forks. Lo and behold, this past Monday, word came down that Basso had stepped down for reasons that, as of press time, are unknown, although there has been speculation. As of late-Tuesday afternoon, no replacement for Basso has been announced. While it has been great for media outlets across the riding, it doesn’t bode well for the riding in general. While you may not agree with how John Slater represent-
ed the riding, he was a known commodity. He made appearances in the area and from my point of view, was always accessible by phone. The same for Basso, although, she hasn’t responded to my request for comment on her resignation. You heard what she stood for and she was visible. I don’t know who will be the NDP candidate and as for the Liberal candidate, Linda Larson from Oliver, B.C., I haven’t had a chance to meet her. What are her views? What are her thoughts? May may seem like a long way off but it will be here before you know it and I’d like to know a lot more about who I’m going to cast my ballot for in the provincial election. As it stands, it looks like I’m going to be flying blind when I hit the polling station.

LETTERS z ENVIRONMENT
No wake boards Editor: Re: Ban high-powered wake board boats at the Lake (column, May 16 issue of the Gazette) Roy Ronaghan’s Rabblerousing column in a May issue, reporting destructive forces of wake boats, deserved a response. I was hopeful that local folk would have replied but nothing was said. Perhaps this means that, other than the stewardship society, whose very informative space at the Christina Lake Welcome Centre is well worth a visit, nobody really cares that the lake is under a lot of pressure. I don’t know what compels normal people to board vessels, expressly built and driven, to create mayhem in ecologicallysensitive waters but it must be clear that such abuse will lead to the lake’s demise. The results are apparent and documented but where is the will to address them? What is missing is a reasonable and attainable alternative plan to displace the current activities with something more
z OPINION
amenable to the long-term health of the lake. I’m not so naive as to believe that a complete ban of motorized boats is realistic. But thought should be given to redefining the role of the lake. What if it were to become a world-recognized centre of excellence in other possible uses of such a waterway? A waterway in and around which a number of benign activities defined the future of the lake? Accredited training centres (perhaps even up to Olympics level) in canoeing, kayaking, rowing, scuba diving, triathlon, endurance swimming, water rescue – boat-to-boat, shore-toboat and so on – would more than compensate for elimination of destructive boats. Just the staff numbers of such centres would mean a lot of seasonal jobs and were each of these centres to become nationally, or even internationally, accredited – and that should be the master plan – it would give this Boundary home of ours a huge boost, far larger than wake boarding will ever achieve and without destruction of the lake. Such development would mesh well with the aspirations of the welcome centre, which might also become a hub for such future developments.
It’s worth some thought because the alternative is so abhorrent. Dave Milton, Grand Forks
z TRAILS
Can we invest in the future? Editor: Re: Paving project proposed from Grand Forks to Christina Lake (story, Dec. 5 issue of the Gazette) I cannot see where the plans for the trail east of Grand Forks are going. All that money must be blinding. Instead of planting trees alongside the trail, which would provide shade, temperature reduction, bird refuge, colour, mulch for the precious land (yes, land is precious), you want to lay another blooming layer of concrete, and no doubt, many applications of poisonous herbicides to keep it all nice and sterile? Can we invest in the future by planting and not once again by exterminating for a change? Angelica Herlihy, Grand Forks

What it means to me to be Scottish
Bobby Burns celebration is coming up. You know Robert Burns, also known as Rabbie Burns the Ploughman Poet, and in Scotland, known as The Bard? GRACE McGREGOR He lived only 37 years, do you think it was the haggis? Do I know how to make haggis? Nope. Do I like haggis? Well I don’t hate it. I think that many decide they don’t like it because it is supposed to be made using an animal stomach for the membrane that holds the oatmeal, organ concoction. I don’t know what’s really so shocking about that especially if we think about what sausage casing is supposed to be made out of. I recall my parents going to a Bobbie Burns celebration in Grand Forks many years ago; that particular one was held in a café that used to be where Value Drug is currently. But let’s get back to being Scottish. I married a Scot and became a McGregor, not a MacGregor, but a McGregor and no I am not related to the MacGregors in Grand Forks, as I so often get asked. I was, however, born a Cameron, a good old Scottish name. My father used to sing a little ditty to us when we were children; it’s called A Wee Deoch and Doris by Sir Harry Lauder and it went like this: There’s a good old Scottish custom that has stood the test o’time, It’s a custom that’s been carried out in every land and clime When brother Scots are gathered, it’s aye the usual thing, Just before we say good night, we fill our cups and sing Chorus Just a wee deoch an doris, just a wee drop, that’s all Just a wee deoch and doris afore ye gang awa There’s a wee wifie waitin’ in a wee but an ben If you can say, “It’s a braw bricht moonlicht nicht” Of course there’s another verse and the chorus once more and I can still sing it to ye if you like. One of his betterknown songs is Auld Lang Syne and we still sing it today or some of us do. I love music and my parents did also. The bagpipes are my very favourite, along with the fiddle or violin. The sound of the pipes makes me very emotional; I really don’t know why but it does. It’s really hard to sit down when Celtic music is playing and I wish the jig and the reel were more prominent in our culture today, just as they were when I was a child and attended the dances at the Christina Lake Hall with my parents. Father played both the piano and the violin by ear and, raised in Saskatchewan, played for the country dances. He and my mother both were lovely singers. So when someone asks what being a Scot means to me well I guess it is all of the above and the childhood memories that go along with it all and the ability to still celebrate Robbie Burns night and still sing A Wee Deoch and Doris. Slainte mhor agad, great health to you. – Grace McGregor is Area C director for the RDKB

Drug charges dropped against Piche
KARL YU
Gazette Editor
The Christina Lake man fined for feeding bears last year has seen drug charges, relating to production and possession of marijuana, dropped. Allen Piche and ex-wife Kathleen Wickie were charged with growing and possessing marijuana for the purpose of trafficking on their property after RCMP found a sizable amount of marijuana plants (over 800) while executing a warrant in July 2010. However, a judge found discrepancies in RCMP testimony
and the search warrant and had the charges dropped. Piche was happy that he no longer has to worry about the case. “I’m very relieved by it all, it took a long time and I’m glad that it’s over and I can get on with my life,” said Piche. A house on Piche’s property was destroyed in a fire in September and while it was originally labeled as suspicious, the subsequent investigation found that it was not caused by a criminal act. Piche stood to lose the property, as it was being used for criminal activity, but it doesn’t look like the province’s Civil
Forfeiture Branch will seize it now. “Once they found out I didn’t burn it, they just said, ‘You keep the property and just be a good boy for three years (probation).’ No bear feeding, no pot growing,” Piche explained. Piche is currently in Ontario visiting relatives but will make plans to rebuild the house when he returns in the summer. “It won’t be happening next summer, it’s going to take a lot of thought and clean up,” Piche said, adding that fences would have to go up to keep the bears out.
City’s new hire The City of Grand Forks has hired Sarah Winton as its new deputy corporate secretary. She will begin her new position on Feb. 4. Winton worked with Community Futures Boundary and the Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce previously.

Police car goes off the road en route to possible assault incident KARL YU
Gazette Editor
A Grand Forks RCMP vehicle sustained damage after going off the road en route to an incident involving a possible assault. On Jan. 18 around 1 p.m., RCMP received a call from a female who claimed she came home and saw a male in her bedroom and another male standing outside her kitchen window with a handgun. “She claimed she found her boyfriend behind the couch hiding and she ran to the neighbour’s house to get a ride into town and report it,” said Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. One member attended and the second member was responding as well, driving Code 3 (with lights and sirens)
on Whitehall Road when he accelerated and hit a patch of ice and lost control. The vehicle went into a ditch, hit a fence and there was an estimated $4,000 damage to the police car. The officer wasn’t injured. Harrison said the entire incident was false and the complainant was taken to the hospital in what was described as a Mental Health Act apprehension. “There was no man with a gun, no assault and thorough investigation proved that none of that happened at all but at the time, the members thought they were responding to an emergency situation,” Harrison said. Curfew violators caught On Jan. 15 at 2:20 a.m. police received a report of single vehicle collision with a deer on Carson Road and International Road. Grand Forks RCMP said that the vehicle was seen

blocking a lane and a half with its horn blaring. According to Cpl. Richard Lanz of the Grand Forks RCMP, a male in the vicinity of the vehicle was found to be violating probation. “The male was on probation to abide by a curfew and as a result, the male was arrested and lodged in a cell to appear in court later,” Lanz said. Very early the next day, another person breaching curfew was caught by the police according to Lanz. “On Jan. 16 at 1:20 a.m. police were on patrol in Grand Forks and observed a male riding a bicycle. This male was checked and he was on conditions to be in his residence during this period of time,” he said. Subsequently, the male was arrested and charged with breaching curfew conditions.

Robbie Burns Day about more than just haggis
KARL YU
Gazette Editor
Next Friday is Jan. 25, likely an ordinary day for people, unless you’re Scottish. The day marks the birthday of famed Scottish poet Robbie Burns (Scotland’s national poet) and as such, Scottish people all over the world celebrate Robbie Burns Day. One thing always associated with Scotland is the dish haggis and because of this, haggis is associated with Robbie Burns Day, It is representative of the Scottish in more ways than one, says Steve McGibbon, a Scottishborn Grand Forks resident and a member of the Grand Forks Pipes and Drums band. “Haggis is a symbol because it’s such a baseline food that the Scottish people made of what was left that was given to them from the lords,” McGibbon explains. “So the lords took all the good stuff and left the working class with the rest and they made this haggis and it is a disgusting ball of stuff, but they turned it into a national dish and that’s what it represents, to be able to make something of nothing.” McGibbon confesses to loving haggis both for the history and symbolism amongst other things. “If I could describe it for someone who’s never had it, it’s kind of like an oatmeal sausage with herbs, grains and spices and tastes like turkey stuffing,” he describes. McGibbon also says Robbie Burns is important to the Scottish people for more than just his poetry. “For most Scots he was a freedom fighter in his own right, and by freedom fighter I mean he fought for civil rights and the right for each man to be equal, and that’s why he’s so celebrated,” explains McGibbon. “Of course, all of his songs and poems contribute to his success but in the hearts of most Scottish people that’s what we see. He was a fighter for liberalism and socialism, and I don’t mean socialism in a bad sense, but in every man has equal rights.” McGibbon says that Burns also embodies the spirit of what most Scots like – quick wit and dry humour – and Robbie Burns Day celebrations

On that Friday night, the 25th of January, there’ll be thousands of Burns’ nights going on, all addressing this football that we eat,” McGibbon explains. “It’s a huge tradition that way.” In Grand Forks, Robbie Burns’ celebrations will take place at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall (7353 Sixth Street) on Friday night, beginning at 4 p.m. and going until 11 p.m. Tickets are $20.

Spotlight Films presents Searching For Sugar Man on Jan. 29
In the late ‘60s, two record producers, Dennis Coffey and Mike Theodore, discovered a talented working class minstrel in a run-down bar in Detroit called The Sewer. They were moved by his “soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics.” In the early ‘70s Sixto (Sugar Man) Rodriguez was signed to Sussex Records. He was subsequently dumped as a result of low record sales. Rodriguez sunk into obscurity … or did he? Strangely, unbeknownst to Rodriguez or the American music industry, his songs from two albums were a hit in South Africa where the musician built a substantial following among the liberal white middle class for whom Rodriguez’s music became an anthem of sorts against the hated and feared Apartheid regime. One song even went platinum. Still widely popular and somewhat mysterious in South Africa 20 years later, Sugar Man became the subject of rumours as to his demise, including an attempted on-stage suicide. Two fans,

SPOTLIGHT FILMS
Cape Town record store owner Steve (Sugar) Segerman and music journalist Craig Bartholomew-Strydon, set out to discover the truth and search for their hero. In his directorial debut, Swedish director Malik Bendejelloul tells the tale of the subsequent quest and what follows is an artful blend of mystery, biography and documentary. This is a bizarrely heartening tale fueled by hope, inspiration and the resonating power of music. There will be questions unanswered though, such as how the royalties from the sales of his music went unnoticed. Oh, and how the record got to South Af-
rica – it is rumoured that an American woman brought a copy to the country to give to her boyfriend. The bootleg album was an obvious hit, a fine example of networking prior to social media. Searching For Sugar Man was produced by Simon Chinn (Man on a Wire) and the executive producer was John Battsek. Just a few of the 15 or so awards Searching For Sugar Man has won or has been nominated for: Durban Film Festival’s audience choice; Sundance World Cinema’s Documentary Special Jury Prize and Documentary Audience Award; Los Angeles Film Festival’s Audience Award; Moscow and Grand Jury Prize; International Documentary Association’s Best Feature and Best Music and it is nominated Best Documentary at the upcoming Oscar Awards. Searching For Sugar Man will be shown at the Gem Theatre on Tuesday, Jan. 29 at 7:30 p.m. Thanks to Red Fox Films, Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB, Cosmic Yurba of This is Africa, and Wikipedia.

Overall Kettle River flows not declining Are the river flows declining? Many residents of the Kettle River watershed are worried that the rivers are drying up. Again and again, we have heard that the flows are declining; summers are much drier than they used to be and global warming is taking its toll on the river. The truth may be surprising, and more complicated than we remember. According to the recent technical assessment of the Kettle River watershed, there was no trend in either average annual or August flows over the last 80 years at Laurier, Wash. The last decade was particularly dry, with extreme low flows in 2003 and 2009. Residents will recall very poor sport fishing, impassable tubing condi-

COMMUNITY z ANIMAL CONTROL
Regional district reminding pet owners to get dog licences
JIM HOLTZ
For the Grand Forks Gazette
Volunteers Needed for Economic Development Advisory Committee In accordance with Council’s Policy, the City of Grand Forks is seeking Volunteers to fill two vacancy positions on the City’s Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC). The EDAC is an advisory committee that will assist Council and Staff on matters pertaining to sustainable Economic Development and Tourism including: • Maintaining and enhancing our economic development plan; • Work on strategies for advancing economic development within the City which facilitates community sustainability in areas of business attraction, expansion and retention; • Collaborate with other Community Stakeholder groups to establish economic development and tourism common goals/practices for the good of a sustainable community. • Assist the City in building appropriate relationships with regional stakeholder groups, provincial government ministries and provincial agencies for the good of a sustainable community.
The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) is again hoping owners in Grand Forks, Greenwood and Electoral Districts C and D will licence their dogs. Licensing for 2013 began in December, and the RDKB would like to remind dog owners that all dogs within those areas are required to be licensed and to be on a leash when off their owner’s property. According to Animal Control Officer Richard Smith, many people are unaware of the district’s bylaw. “The majority of our work is education,” Smith said, “to tell people who don’t even know that they are supposed to register their dogs. Just about every dog – 90 per cent that we pick up – is not licensed and the bylaw says that we can’t release the dog until (owners) go and buy a licence, so that’s what we make them do. They go, buy their licence, pay the pound fee and then go and get their dog. In December we had 43 out-calls.”
Smith said many of the calls are for the same dogs, some of which are difficult to catch. They all, however, pose a problem. “They chase deer; they confront other dog owners that are walking their dogs on a leash; or they’re just loose in somebody’s yard or around the house,” he said. The loose dogs are seldom strays, however. “Ninety per cent of them belong to somebody; they often stay in the same area. They’re pets,” Smith said. He acknowledged that there remains a lack of understanding of the bylaw and its requirements. “The law is that you are supposed to have your dog on a leash and have it licensed. But many don’t even know. They say, ‘Well, we live in a rural area,’ but (the requirement for a licence) goes from Christina Lake to Greenwood.” There is a plus side to licensing, Smith said. If a dog becomes lost or is found injured, it is far easier and faster to inform owners when the dog is wearing its licence tag. Smith invites anyone with questions or concerns regarding animal control to give him a call at 250-444-0371.
Deadline for submission is Thursday, January 31st, 2013. Please include your reason for volunteering and what contribution you will bring to this advisory committee. Please address your submissions to Economic Development Advisory Committee Chair, c/o dheinrich@grandforks.ca. Additional information and terms of reference are available at: http://www.city.grandforks.bc.ca/index.php/2013/01/08/volunteers-needed-for-edac/ or from City Hall.

z HOUSING
Price of average residential property drops in Grand Forks and region JIM HOLTZ
For the Grand Forks Gazette
The number and value of properties in B.C. has increased overall, but not in the South Okanagan. In the region, which includes the area from Summerland to Princeton to Grand Forks, the average residential property has dropped from a value of $217,000 to $207,000. Overall, the total value of assessed property in the South Okanagan has dropped from $20,191,707,730 in 2012 to $19,713,669,628 this year. Tracy Wall, deputy assessor for the region, said, “Values have remained stable in the past year though in rural areas we have seen values drop slightly more than the provincial average.” Wall indicated that the value of most homes increased or decreased no more than five per cent. Information concerning values province-wide can be found on the BC Assessment website, she
added. “You can actually look at your own assessment and your neighbour’s assessment and access that information. We like to think that we are being transparent,” she said. Wall explained that there are several parts to an assessment including the location of the property itself, the type and condition of the structures on the property and the sales of property in the same area. Property owners can call BC Assessment if they have questions concerning their property evaluation. “We also want to remind folks that if they do have questions or something doesn’t look right, give us a call,” Wall said. “We do have appraisers that are happy to talk to property owners and if they are still not satisfied, then they have to launch a appeal. They need to submit that by Jan. 31,” she added. Instructions can be found on their website at www.bcassessment.bc.ca

COMMUNITY z HISTORY
Boundary Historical Society seeks infusion of youth
SHARA J. COOPER
For the Grand Forks Gazette
After another year of trying to rally up interest in the Boundary Historical Society, members are still on the brink of dissolving the group. At a special general meeting last Saturday, members bought the society another few months, until its AGM in the fall. The society can’t run without a board of directors and over the last two elections, it has struggled to fill positions. Last fall, it put off its annual election because it didn’t have enough interest and it had an extremely low turnout at the AGM. At Saturday’s meeting, it was hoped new members would step forward and take positions. Instead, many of the same members agreed to hold their positions for the rest of the year to keep the society from being dissolved. The biggest problem is the society has an aging membership and isn’t able to continue at the same pace as in the past. Deb Billwiller and her husband John were elected as secretary and treasurer respectively, but Deb says this is the last time they will fill those positions. “I know that I am absolutely not going to be doing this again next year,” she said, noting that her husband feels the same way. Les Johnson was re-elected as president but feels someone else could do a better job. “I accepted this role because I was told it was the easiest one,” he joked. During the meeting, Delphine Novak was elected as the vice-president with Peter Kootchin and Peter Koftinoff filling the director roles.

Each position only had one nominee and this meant there wasn’t an actual election. After the meeting, the group had only 47 registered members for the current year, down from 74 last year. However, this number could go up throughout the year if people continue buying the $10 memberships, Johnson said. Of that membership, only two members are under the age of 50 and more than half the group doesn’t have email. This makes it challenging to organize events or share information for a group that covers the entire Boundary area.
The fix, according to Johnson, is to encourage the younger generation to help. “We really need more passionate people,” he said. For those that might be interested but don’t know how they can help, Johnson says anyone can lend a hand whether it’s washing dishes after a luncheon or helping make posters. The younger generation may also have fresh ideas to help the society stay current, he added. The society has plenty of ideas they would like to implement in the future. Each year it has three events, including a picnic at a historical site. It would like to expand on this by selling coffee cups with historical pictures, improving the signage to the Phoenix cemetery and printing a postcard book. Barry Noll, a Greenwood city councillor, would also like to see updated information at the Phoenix cemetery so visitors can scan signs with their phones and get a database of who is in the cemetery and as much background as possible. All of these ideas take more input from the community and society members encourage the public to join them. “The kids with families from here will get something out of it,” said Johnson. “It probably hasn’t even occurred to them to help out. They don’t need to know anything about history (to join).” Deb Billwiller agrees about younger generations stepping up, and would like to see the society have a Facebook page, blog and maybe a website of its own. She feels that the younger generation can benefit personally from taking part in the society because it can help them understand their own history. “If we don’t know where we come from, we will never know who we are,” she said. “A lot of young people don’t know where they come from.”

Research shows that reading to children more than once a day has a positive impact on their future academic skills, says ABC Life Literacy Canada, citing Statistics Canada data. “It’s easy to celebrate Family Literacy Day with some informal learning,” says Michele Dean, family literacy program co-ordinator for the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) in Grand Forks. “Cooking your favourite recipe with your friend or child is a perfect activity.

COMMUNITY z GARBAGE
City to allow townhouses to waive waste pick up
JIM HOLTZ
For the Grand Forks Gazette
Grand Forks’ garbage collection bylaw is being amended to allow row houses, townhouses, gated communities and manufactured home parks to waive garbage, yard waste and recyclable materials collection. City council gave three readings to Bylaw 1945, the Residential Garbage Collection Rates and Regulations Amendment bylaw, at its meeting on Jan. 14. If those residential entities could prove that they had entered into a contract for similar collection with a private firm prior to the adoption of Bylaw 1937 – garbage regulations and rates, passed Sept. 4 – then they could have the collection and the associated fees waived. The request for this bylaw change came from Wayne Kopan, Grand Forks’ manager of environmental and
building construction services, who had received a request from local low income and provincially funded housing provider Parkside Villa asking to opt out of the green bin program. Parkside Villa had an existing contract with Alpine Disposal for large bin garbage collection that it had entered into before the city adopted its current bylaw. “They (Parkside Villa) were paying for the green bin as well as a large bin through Alpine,” Kopan explained. “They requested a means of being able to not have to pay double garbage rates.” Kopan said the contract with Alpine Disposal expires in 2015, at which time Parkside Villa would comply with the city’s residential garbage collection regulation. Council members raised the concern that allowing this exception might lead to many others opting out, but Kopan indicated that so far, only Parkside Villa had made
such a request. Coun. Michael Wirischagin expressed the view that everyone should have the opportunity to opt out of part of the program, saying that the age and physical condition of some residents makes it difficult for them to comply. “The demographic of Grand Forks is not the same as other communities and I think we should have the opportunity for people, whether they want to pay for the full service or have the opportunity to opt out of the compost and recycling,” Wirischagin said. Kopan explained that the program could not be run if individuals were allowed to opt out. “It is funded,” he said, “on the basis that everyone pays a set amount.” There was no further discussion and the amended bylaw as suggested by Kopan was given three readings with Wirischagin voting against in all three. Final reading is expected at a future council meeting.
z HOSPITAL
Grand Forks Auxiliary to Boundary Hospital holds AGM SHARA J. COOPER
For the Grand Forks Gazette
The Grand Forks Auxiliary to the Boundary Hospital Association held its annual general meeting Jan. 14 at the Grand Forks hospital. The boardroom was full of volunteers eager to greet their new executive and prepare for the coming year. The executive was elected in November and was sworn in on Monday for a twoyear term. Carole Richmond is the new president, taking over for Willy Triveri.
Richmond was the group’s secretary for at least four years before becoming president. Sharon Kenessey is the new vicepresident and Lenora Balazs has stepped up to be the new secretary. “I am looking forward to the new challenges,” said Richmond of her new position, adding that she can’t wait to see the thrift store continue to grow. The Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store, which is run by the association, has had a profitable year. It donated over $100,000 to the Boundary Hospital for numerous pieces of equip-

ment. Each year the association is given a wish list by the hospital and it tries to buy as many items as possible from the list. While most of the money is given for hospital equipment, the association also uses its funds to help the community. It gave $4,000 in scholarship money to help local students with their post secondary education. Half of it went to a Grand Forks Secondary School student and the rest was awarded to a Boundary Central Secondary School student in Midway. Over $3,000 was donated to Hardy
View Lodge and Boundary Lodge for Christmas gifts. “It’s been a stellar year for sure,” said Richmond. All of this is accomplished through the work of over 100 volunteers that run the thrift store. The volunteers strive to keep everything running smoothly and put forth new ideas to streamline the system. At the meeting, they discussed a new method of colour-coding their boxes so they can easily find seasonal items.

The Grand Forks Border Bruins halted a ninegame losing streak with a 3-2 road win over the Chase Heat on Sunday afternoon. Newcomer Monty Chisholm opened the scoring, while Coleton Dawson and Jacob Jeske also scored for the Border Bruins and goalie Robert Dunsmuir made 48 saves on 50 shots. The win was a welcome relief for head coach and GM Nick Deschenes and team given the slump, which included a pair of lopsided shutout losses to Castlegar and Beaver Valley the week previous. “The win is important for the team,” Deschenes explained. “We got the goaltending we needed and played a simple game. Dunsmuir came up huge. I’ve said it all year, we need our goaltender to be our best player.” Chisholm and Adam Sturch (who was named the game’s second star) both came from Kamloops Midget Tier 1 and the new blood gave an injection of energy. “We are short staffed so the new players added to our numbers as well they provided somewhat of a morale boost,” Deschenes said. “We were a team of 20 players playing for the same reason.” On top of Dunsmuir’s play, the team was also good with the man advantage, going two for four on the power play (pp) – Dawson and Jeske’s goals came with the Border Bruins on the pp. “We have good personnel and they’ve been executing well,” Deschenes said when asked about the team scoring on 50 per cent of its chances. The team lost 5-2 against the North Okanagan Knights on Friday and 8-3 to the Kamloops Storm on Saturday and in order to get the Border Bruins’ game on track, Deschenes declined to comment specifically on those games. “Sometimes that’s what it takes for us to learn,” he said.

GFSS senior girls earn first win
Gazette Editor
The Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS) Wolves senior girls’ basketball team earned its first win of the season at a home tournament this past weekend. The senior girls defeated Boundary Central Secondary School by a final of 37-27 in their tournament opener on Friday afternoon. The win was on the heels of a game head coach Bob Chapman considered the team’s poorest performance, a loss by 40 points to Trail’s J.L. Crowe earlier in the week. “Friday’s win was a good one because the one we played previously this week was probably the worst game we played all season,” Chapman said. “It was really good, the girls really bounced back and it was really positive.” Chapman said that turnovers have been a problem for the team but players weren’t passing the ball to the wrong people in the win. “They had their heads up. If the option wasn’t there, they were turning and making second passes, so that was really good. They hustled and they played great defence,” he said. As for the remainder of the tournament, Grand Forks lost to J.L. Crowe 58-34 on Saturday morning and 58-28 to Nelson’s L.V. Rogers on Saturday afternoon. The team finished in fourth place of the tournament. While the team lost to J.L. Crowe, Chapman was happy with how the team performed, especially given the previous game between the two. “We had a positive game, we didn’t win but we played a really good game. The girls worked really hard and were having a lot of fun,” Chapman explained. Against L.V. Rogers, the team seemed snake-bitten in the early goings as it failed to make a shot despite a number of opportunities – it wasn’t until well into the first quarter when GFSS made its first basket.
“I feel like we’re improving every game. The (L.V. Rogers) game was a tough game with the shooting but the players are getting lots of shots, and they’re not bad shots, but you get games like this where nothing goes in,” said Chapman. “They just have to keep shooting and eventually they’ll go in.” Guard Riley Chapman echoed the sentiments of the coach, saying the team was progressing with each game. “We’ve definitely been improving and from our last tournament, I think we’ve been doing really well,” Chapman said.

Joe LeSergent Joe LeSergent passed away December 24, 2012 in Hardy View Lodge Grand Forks, B.C. at the age of 84. He was predeceased by his parents, three brothers and two sisters. He is lovingly survived by Carol, his wife of 54 years, his children Clifford (Dallas), Jean, and Thomas (Ashley) and two granddaughters, Mikaila and Keanna. Also survived by four brothers, Marcel, Wilfred, Fred and George. Joe helped build the old Greenwood school. He worked for several of the old time loggers and in the local sawmills. For a short time he worked for Greyhound Mines. He became a planerman and had requests for his finished lumber from as far away as Great Britain. He enjoyed spending time with his family, hiking, berry picking, poking around old ghost towns, and he had a great love of music. The family would like to offer a special thanks to his doctor, the staff at Hardy View Lodge, to Hospice and to Mr. E. Baker of the Grand Forks Funeral Home.

Elizabeth Chernoff Elizabeth Chernoff, was born to John M. and Ann Dergousoff (nee Popoff) at Verigin, Saskatchewan on October 28, 1926. Her birth followed that of her older brother, William. Elizabeth lost her mother at a very young age and her father subsequently married Tina Markin. This union produced a sister, Kay. After the family relocated to British Columbia, as a teenager, Elizabeth worked at various physically demanding jobs, including field and orchard work. She met Fred Chernoff, and they were married on November 30, 1944. They made their home in the Almond Gardens area in Grand Forks where they were blessed with the birth of three daughters, Betty, Gloria and Terry. To supplement the family income, they grew carrots for seed and potatoes for market. As Fred found steadier employment they were able to stop commercial farming and life became somewhat easier. Elizabeth and Fred continued to live in their home in Almond Gardens until 1993 when serious health issues showed them the wisdom of downsizing. They moved to the Triangle Gardens Mobile Home Park, where with the help of their sons-in-law, they made a comfortable home for themselves ensuring that Elizabeth was still able to plant a garden and have ample room to store her canning and all the foods she loved to prepare. After Fred’s heart attack and stroke in 2008, Elizabeth chose to take care of his every need with minimal outside help. After Fred’s death in 2010, she continued to make her home at Triangle Gardens until her own health failed. In late December she moved to residential care at Silver Kettle Village where she resided for less than two weeks. Elizabeth passed away at Kelowna General Hospital, with her daughter Betty at her side, on January 13, 2013 due to complications following surgery. Elizabeth was predeceased by her parents, brother, one son-in-law and two infant grandsons. She is survived by her three daughters, Betty (John) Sapriken, Gloria (Walter) Zoobkoff, all of Castlegar, BC and Terry (Tony) Chursinoff of Grand Forks, BC, six grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and her sister, Kay Fuller. A prayer and funeral service was held on Saturday, January 19, 2013 at the USCC Community Centre with Fay Malins officiating. Castlegar Funeral Chapel was in charge of arrangements and interment was at the Sion Cemetery.
