Animal control terminates contract

LITTLE OAK REALTY

The Boundary animal control officers have terminated their contract with the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB). As a result, the RDKB is looking for someone to fill the shoes of Richard Smith and John Jansezian as of last Saturday, said Elaine Kumar, RDKB director of corporate administration. “They gave their notice,” said Kumar. “I was disappointed; however, with what’s been going on (lately) it’s been rough for them.” She told the Gazette that they have been harassed by residents throughout the Boundary. “They have been spit on, called names and threats have been left,” said Kumar. Mayor Brian Taylor, who was once an animal control officer as well, said emotional outbursts from concerned pet lovers have always been part and parcel of the job. “I think what they are saying at this point (is) that they are surprised with the kind of demands

ing 25 Years t a r b Cele e B o u n da r y ing th v r e S

that they were put under,” he said. “The big problem for Richard and John is they didn’t have the power of enforcement,” said Taylor, as he explained that they were hired under a bylaw which was put into review. “I really don’t fault them, I think they did an excellent job and they had a lot of support from a lot of people for beginning to deal with some of the chronic (animal bylaw) problems,” said Taylor. Anita Krause of the Kootenay Boundary Pet Dog Association said she wasn’t surprised to hear of the resignation. “At best it is a difﬁcult job; their position was not supported by a good framework i.e. good bylaws,” she wrote in an email to the Gazette. “The RDKB will be hard pressed to ﬁnd someone until they rework their bylaws.” The mayor said the RDKB and its stakeholders are working on a bylaw that will be clear and concise. “We are going to write that bylaw so that we know when we hire people for this next (time)

around that we will be able to give them clear directions as to how we want them to enforce it,” he said. “We still have the service but we don’t have anybody in place for a little while,” said Kumar. “I would expect we will be a good month or two without (an animal officer).” The RDKB is looking for a replacement and Kumar added that the region didn’t have an officer for two or three months a few years back. “We just did what we had to do to keep the service going,” she stated. “Phone this office and I guess if it’s something very serious we’ll be phoning the police.” Taylor said the SPCA is still available in instances of animal cruelty. Kumar said the RDKB has made the case of finding a replacement and redrafting the animal bylaw a top priority. Smith and Jansezian had not responded to the Gazette’s request for comment as of press time. The RDKB recommends contacting 1-800-3557352 until a new provider is in place.

RDKB submits application to turn Saddle Lake to park SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

Saddle Lake could become the first designated regional park of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Area D. “We have made an application (to the province) for the Crown lands surrounding Saddle Lake,” said John MacLean, the RDKB’s CAO. “We are interested in turning it into a regional park. “We have the water licences for Saddle Lake now so we are responsible for the lake and the dam, and director (Irene) Perepolkin and alternate director (Roly) Russell now have said that it’s a beautiful location and it would be a great little regional park, and so we made the application,” he said. Mark Andison, planner with the RDKB, said the property itself is 4.2 hectares in size. “In order to do anything around the lake, in terms of operating it as part of the Area D park function, we needed to have tenure (the holding or lease of land) in order to allow us to operate it as a park facility,” said Andison. If the province were to approve the designation of Saddle Lake as a regional park, then it would be managed by the regional government and funded by the regional government

taxpayers. “The lake is being used informally as passive recreation and I know that the (Boundary) museum and Granby Wilderness Society do tours up there with school kids to show them some of the natural ecology of the area,” said Andison. Jenny Coleshill, project co-ordinator for the Granby Wilderness Society, said that the lake has a lot of historical value. “It was first built by the Doukhobors in 1913,” she said. Andison said that the park would be managed as a conservation area with an interest in tourism as well. “The district is not planning on managing it any different then it has been managed in the past ... basically keeping it as a conservation area,” he said. “Hopefully it will be the beginning of a productive parks function for Area D.” “The application is currently under review and no decision has been made. It was recently advertised for public comment and First Nations are also being consulted as part of the process,” stated Brennan Clarke, public affairs officer with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, in an email to the Gazette.

The 2013 general election final voting results are in. In the Boundary-Similkameen riding, the final results from Elections BC saw 8,499 votes (46.59 per cent) for Linda Larson of the BC Liberals. BC NDP candidate Sam Hancheroff came in a close second with 7,113 votes (38.99 per cent). John Kwasnica of the Green Party received 1,602 votes (8.78 per cent), Independent Mischa Popoff ended up with 655 votes (3.59 per cent) and Independent Doug Pederson received 375 votes (2.06 per cent). There were 18,244 total valid votes in the region. Peter Beckett, the district electoral officer with Elections BC, said that there were over 1,000 absentee voting ballots from the BoundarySimilkameen riding. “If it’s not (a resident’s) assigned voting place, then we say that is voting absentee. This time we had 1,340 ballots that we had to count over the past two days and it didn’t change the results of the election in Boundary-Similkameen,” he said. The advanced polls did see a small bump over last year’s numbers, with an increase of approximately 10 per cent, said Beckett. “After the first day, we thought

it would be increasing substantially because (advanced voting) was so heavy the first day but it leveled out over the next three days.” Elections BC recorded 1,803,051 total valid province-wide votes for the May 14 election. The provincial legislative assembly is still dominated by the BC Liberal Party with 49 seats, while the NDP party remains the official opposition with 34 seats. The Green Party ended up with one seat and Independent (Vicki Huntington) also won herself a seat in parliament, according to Elections BC.

On June 1, a maroon coloured 1994 Plymouth Voyager van with a blue door was stolen from Atwood Road in Grand Forks. “The complainant said the van was recently purchased for $400 (but it was) not insured,” said Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. The van does have licence plates on it; however, it is not registered for the current year. “We do have suspects on the matter that we are pursuing,” said Harrison. “Right now the ownership is under question because we believe the complainant purchased the vehicle but never transferred the ownership over. At any rate, it still is stolen because the person we believe stole it didn’t have any legal right to take the vehicle.” Harrison asked that if anyone sees the vehicle being operated to

z Our View

No need to spit or threaten Boundary Animal Control officers Richard Smith and John Jansezian always seemed to be in a no-win situation. When they arrived on the scene late last year, people said they were hard to get a hold of, as their contact information was hard to find. Then there was the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary’s (RDKB) Animal Control Bylaw No. 1511, which is currently being revised. There was some archaic language in the proposed bylaw that stated that impounded dogs “may be destroyed at the expiration of five (5) days from the date of the notice if it is not reclaimed and prescribed impounding fees paid.” Of course, dog owners were furious at the language in the bylaw and the two probably heard from angry people, even though the bylaw was a proposal and hadn’t passed yet. In fact, RDKB director of corporate administration Elaine Kumar told the Grand Forks Gazette that Jansezian and Smith had been harassed by people from across the region, with some even going as far as spitting at them – an over-reaction to say the least. It’s not fair that the two should be scapegoats for either doing their job or for the proposed bylaw – they don’t write the laws, they merely enforce them. People love their pets, that’s understandable, but Kumar also said that the two had been threatened, which isn’t something anyone should have to worry about or deal with. Again, they’re just doing a job. Eventually, the RDKB will pass a new bylaw regarding animal control and hire some new animal control bylaw enforcement officers. Hopefully, the bylaw language is concise and gives officials clear (and rational) guidelines that all will easily understand. At the same time, hopefully people realize that the new animal control officer or officers are doing a job. They don’t need to be spit at or threatened.

Weekly online poll

YES 17%

Have you ever smoked marijuana? Of course I have, actually a lot, but I was younger then. I found it just made me paranoid so I stopped smoking many years ago. This weekend at Christina Lake, a medical marijuana booth at the health fair got me thinking. Why is this substance still illegal in Canada? South of the border, the states Washington and Colorado have become the first two states, earlier this year, to decriminalize and regulate the possession of an ounce or less of marijuana by adults over 21. It comes as no surprise that a large majority of British Columbians want to follow suit. According to an Angus Reid Poll: Stop the Violence, 75 per cent of British Columbians – myself included – support the taxation and regulation of marijuana. British Columbia could gain a lot, financially.

z Porteous Profiles

SASCHA PORTEOUS

A study conducted for the Fraser Institute by economist Stephen T. Easton: Marijuana Growth in B.C., reveals that roughly 400,000 kilograms of marijuana is produced each year in B.C. That puts the value of the yearly crop at a wholesale value of $2 billion. But let’s say the average street price for a gram of weed was $10. That would double our industry to $4 billion. That’s a nice chunk of change that British Columbians shouldn’t ignore. And what about all the money that is being spent each year on the prohibition of marijuana? According to the Auditor General’s report of 2001, $450 million was spent between 1999 and 2000

on drug control, enforcement and education, 70 per cent of which were cannabis-related charges. Statistics Canada has more recent numbers that expose the price of prohibition. In 2007, 32,472 people were charged with marijuana-related offences and each offence cost the taxpayers an average of $10,590. That puts our prohibition costs at $345.9 million. Data from Washington suggests that pot smokers in that state could bring in $2.5 billion in taxes over five years in a regulated system. Marijuana consumption is already widespread; I mean Vancouver once had the reputation as the marijuana capital of North America. So whether it’s legalized or not, people are going to smoke and toke regardless. We make money off the sale of booze, cigarettes and we make money off the sale of prescriptions drugs, why not money off the sale of cannabis?

LETTERS z NATURE

Deer drop means cougars lose their prey Editor: One of the major reasons cougar sightings have increased recently is the dramatic decline in the province’s deer population, their traditional prey. Contrary to the posturing of fish and wildlife staff and organized hunters, the ungulate populations in our province are in serious trouble. Although there are a number of reasons the most prominent and egregious is liberalized hunting. The increase in deer populations in urban settings should have been a red flag. The dramatic increase in

roads, quad bikes, long hunting seasons and predators has resulted in deer seeking sanctuary from a grim future on their traditional range. I have hunted the cougar for 40 years and this past winter I found few cougar tracks and some were mighty close to human habitation. Like the deer, the cougar wants to survive and because little is left of its traditional food source, the urban deer sanctuary increasingly is its hunting ground. In my opinion, corruption is pervasive in wildlife management, a point made by the subsequent reporting of a cougar mauling of a young boy at the Pacific Rim National Park August 2011. A news reporter described the event, then said that Vancouver Island had the largest cougar population in North America. Excuse me, that was old news when I started cougar hunting in 1972 and no longer is true if it ever was! Barry Brandow, Grand Forks

Propaganda fueled the Liberal machine

Numerous articles have appeared in newspapers and on blogs since May 14 in attempts to answer the questions, why did the New Democratic Party (NDP) lose and why did the ROY RONAGHAN BC Liberals win? One of the most enlightening responses, is one written by Anthony Britneff, a former employee of the BC Forest Service, that appeared on Facebook on May 19. Britneff compares the BC Liberal campaign to that of the 2011 federal Conservative campaign. He states, “What the strategists of the Harper and Clark campaign have in common is mastery of the propaganda theory of Edward Bernays and of the existential marketing techniques of Madison Avenue, along with an ability to apply them to running successful election campaigns against the odds of winning. “Good marketing requires recognition of the power of perception over fact and of telling stories, whether true or not, to reinforce a belief system.” In his book titled Propaganda, Bernays argued that the manipulation of public opinion is a necessary part of democracy: “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country ... in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by a relatively small number of persons ... who understand the mental processes and the social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” A complete biography titled The Father of Spin written by Larry Tye, a Boston Globe reporter and published in 1998, covers Bernays’ work as a public relations specialist but he is also known as a propagandist Bernays was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential Americans of the 20th Century. Looking at the recent election with Bernays’ philosophy in mind, the slogan “Strong economy, secure future” used by the Liberals was far more effective than “Change for the better, one practical step at a time” used by the NDP. One holds promise, the other is open ended. Youth and disenchanted voters were not convinced by the NDP message. Playing up the idea that “they’ve had their turn, now we should have ours” wasn’t good enough and the NDP should have realized early in the campaign that it wasn’t. Britneff reminds us that voters ignored the Liberal record over the past 12 years and fell for the propaganda embellished with the myths of a debt free province, trillions in the bank and jobs for everyone spun out like a mantra by a charismatic Christy Clark who presented herself in everything from a business suit to blue collar clothes and a hard hat. Adrian Dix was no competition in a grey suit and orange tie “Voters simply lost interest in the NDP campaign,” states Britneff. Britneff reminds us that the lesson learned is that, “If the election game has no rules and the voter no longer adheres to an ethical code of honesty, decency and honour, then, any tactics justify the end, which is to win. But having won on a campaign based on propaganda, attack ads and savvy marketing, the BC Liberals have cast their own shadow, which will haunt them throughout their four-year term.” Can voters look forward to good government during the next four years? That will depend on Christy Clark’s approach as premier. She and those appointed to cabinet have an opportunity to fulfill the promise she made on election night that the Liberals will govern for everyone, not just those who voted for them. – Roy Ronaghan is columnist for the Grand Forks Gazette

NEWS z RECREATION

Campground policy approved

KARL YU

Gazette Editor

The City of Grand Forks has adopted a new policy (Campground Procedure Policy No. 1206) for the campground at City Park. The city said it was in need of a policy to ensure operations are meeting the needs of council and best management practices. Rates for the 2013 season are $18 for tenting, $23 for RV parking with no hook ups and for RVs with water, sewer and electrical, it is $33. The season will last from May 1 to Sept. 30 and rates will include tenting and recreational vehicle (RV) parking. For the offseason (from Oct. 1 to April 30), rates would be paid in advance and services would not include tenting, washroom access, water or snow removal but would include RV parking with sewer service (depending on the weather) and electrical service. There is a maximum size of 12 metres (40 feet) for RVs but no restriction on the width and slides. According to the city, sites numbered one through seven are for shorter RVs with a depth of nine metres (30 feet). Sites eight to 15 are for longer RVs with a depth of 12 metres. Sites 16 to 21 have pull through access. Forty-eight hours would be required for cancellation and if there is no written receipt before the 48 hours, customers will be charged a penalty with no exceptions (one night camping rate as per site reserved). Check-out time is noon and check-in time would be 1 p.m. or earlier, dependent on if the site is ready. Pets are allowed but must be leashed at all

times. Reservations are taken at city hall, the Visitor Information Centre and staff at the campsite. In addition, Wi-Fi Internet service is included and access to the campground washrooms is provided at no additional cost. Bylaw enforcement will attend the site when there are people camping without authorization and if the person or people cannot be found, the said site will be cleared at the violator’s expense. According to the city, while the campground was operated previously by the Visitors’ Centre, city operations staff took over in 2006 and the campground received water, sewer, electrical and sewer upgrades. In 2012, additional upgrades were made with the addition of panels to separate recreational vehicle sites.

Fun activities, great food: Seniors, this is the place to be! by Kathleen Thomas Silver Kettle Village in Grand Forks continues to keep seniors happy with their full activity calendar and delicious dinner menu. This month boasts an abundance of social events, great food, and entertainment. Below is a quick snapshot of what residents can expect: • Outdoor BBQ Party and Dance with music by Buck Naked and the Saddle Tramps • Bus trip to Nk’Mip Winery in Osoyoos • Saturday Night Movie Matinees • Trips to the Farmers Market • Birthday Party with music by Glenna • Happy Hour with music by Bernice • Carol Burnett Nights • As well as our full calendar of games, coffee socials, fitness classes, town outings, and much more… “We’re excited about our activities,” said Community Manager, Michele Shillaker “the weather is getting warm so we are moving some activities outside. We have live outdoor dances and bus trips to Christina Lake; we’ll also visit an Osoyoos winery to take in the beautiful scenery and taste BC’s best wines.” When residents get home they can expect hearty, home-style meals prepared by on-site chefs. Fresh hot coffee and tea is served

twice daily accompanied by an assortment of muffins, cookies or scones. If residents wish to host a private party for family catering services are available or they can cook in their own private kitchen. In addition to the hospitality services, residents can enjoy peace of mind knowing they don’t have to worry about extra bills because all utilities including water, sewer, heat, air conditioning and cable are also included. “I am very happy that I moved to Silver Kettle Village” said Violet Hughes, a resident of Silver Kettle Village. “I enjoy the company of the other residents and joining in the daily activities. From Sit Fit classes, weekly films, live entertainment, and bus outings, there is always something to do.” What’s more, Silver Kettle Village’s convenient location enables seniors to easily maintain their relationships with friends and family. And at Silver Kettle Village pets are a big part of the family. In this pet friendly building residents are encouraged to bring their pets with them to live. Free from the responsibilities of home-ownership, seniors at Silver Kettle Village can enjoy the many other activities and joys that life offers. We’re fortunate to live in a time when retirement living options provide everything seniors want – and more! Silver Kettle Village is open daily; and you can call (250) 442-0667 for more information or to book a tour.

Abbeyfield, a non-profit housing option for seniors, is celebrating 25 years in Canada. The internationally recognized society began in 1956 in England and today there are over 800 worldwide. “Abbeyfield houses provide a home within a home to seniors who are no longer able to live alone,” said Donna Caruso, house co-ordinator of the Grand Forks home, which has been here for 13 years. “It offers a warm, family-style house with a balance between privacy and companionship, security and independence.” Caruso told the Gazette that the home is supported living; with 10 private rooms, each resident has his or her own space; however, the dining area is a common spot and all the meals are provided. At 98 years of age, Edna Robertson is the eldest resident. “I’ve been here for about five years,” she said. “So far I think it’s very good. The people are just 100 per cent as far as I can see.” Robertson said she enjoys the place because it’s social but she still has her independence. “You’re on your own to a certain extent, like I have my own room (and privacy) ... but there is always somebody if I need it,” she added. Fred Novak is one of the few gentlemen at Abbeyfield. “It’s very nice (here), I love it,”

For the record

he said. “The food is good, the accommodation is perfect; this is the way to go.” Novak adds that the home is close to town, which makes it very convenient. “I am here because I need an operation on my hip and even with a sore leg, I can walk downtown and there are two older women (that) walk every morning. They go shopping downtown and back.” Susan Courtney, relief co-ordinator, said the residents are great. “They are so easygoing and they love their food, especially the women, because they don’t have to cook anymore,” she said. Caruso said Abbeyfield is very much like a big family. “The residents are pretty good, most of them get along really well,” she said. Abbeyfield is not a nursing home but it is supported by Home Support Staff from Interior Health, who visit four times a day, said Caruso. Since opening in Grand Forks, Abbeyfield has provided a home for 47 seniors. The house is completely run off the residents’ monthly rent, which falls under the B.C. Tenancy Agreement. “It’s a non-profit society and a volunteer board administer the house which keeps the costs low,” said the house co-ordinator. In celebration of 25 years in Canada, the society is dedicating the week of June 9 to 16 as Abbeyfield week.

In an article entitled “Fair to attract artists from coast” in the April 24 issue, Grand Forks’ fall fair was incorrectly referred to as the Boundary Country Exhibition. While there was an announcement late last year that the Grand Forks and District Fall Fair was being re-named the Boundary Country Exhibition, a decision was later made not to change the name.

Rodriguez said that online marketing has a big impact and raises people’s awareness of a certain location and the facilities that are available. Mark adds that a lot of businesses do have websites already but they are not up-to-date and they are not harnessing the full power of online marketing. The third portion of the work with Selkirk will include GIS mapping. “We can create maps, like the entire trail system for Christina Lake and surrounding area. Out of that information, we put together a digital map and the digital map goes on the Christina Gateway (Community) Development (Association’s) website and anybody that clicks that has an interactive view of all of the trails systems in and around Christina Lake,” said the Selkirk College liaison officer. But the GIS mapping won’t be limited to the trail network. Mark said it would include “every category” from food to fishing to hospitality. “Tourism now is just about all happening through the Internet and we are not ready. We have identified that need and Selkirk said (they could) help us meet that need,” said the community co-ordinator. She said that the work being done with Selkirk would help the community enormously.

COMMUNITY z GUIDING

Local girl guides receive top award

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

A select few girl guides from the Kootenays received the Canada Cord, which is only given to teenagers of the highest achievement in the Pathfinders age group (12 to 14). Amongst the 13 girls recognized on Saturday at gallery 2 in Grand Forks, local Tori Stavenjord. “I think my life has been impacted by guiding by making me more confident,” Stavenjord said in a written statement. “The highlights of my guiding experiences were definitely the trips.” Before earning the top honour, the girls must complete a number of steps, which include community service activities and first-aid. There is also a leadership and camping component in which girls are expected to complete three camps or events. “This (award) is a culmination of three years of hard work,” said Pat Wildeman, Girl Guides of Canada Kootenay area commissioner.

“The Canada Cord is only given to girls that have advanced achievement in guiding and it involves leadership skills, it involves their own personal development and certainly camping and outdoors, but a lot of these young ladies have organized events; its quite an involved program,” she said. Thao Atkinson and Kim Faminoff, two Midway residents from the Boundary Guiding Unit were also recognized with the top award. “To me guiding is about challenges, adventure, good times and great friendships,” Faminoff said in her statement. “Best of all you have an opportunity to make a difference, in my community and our world.” Atkinson said that guiding helped her to become independent but also feel as if she was a part of a team. “To me, guiding means that you learn and help others along the way,” she said. Wildeman said the next step for the girls would be Ranger, which is another three-year Girl Guide program. Some girl guides from Canada are planning a trip to a World Association of Girl Guides and Girls Scouts World Centre in central Mexico in 2014.

COMMUNITY z TOURISM

Local wants to show off area with video contest

KARL YU

Gazette Editor

Filmmakers, directors and even musicians in Grand Forks can prepare videos, short films and music for the Show Off Grand Forks video contest. The intent of the contest is to show Grand Forks off to potential tourists or people looking for a place to settle down and is open to people who reside in, work or go to school in Grand Forks and area. Potential contestants have until September (although a deadline is still being worked out) and as the contest organizer said, it will give people a chance to think about their favourite summer activities and ones that visitors might enjoy as well and how to capture those on video. Cash prizes will be awarded and the judges will be residents of Grand Forks as well. The videos will be shown at the GEM Theatre. The brainchild of local videographer Les Johnson, the prizes awarded will depend on how many people vote – currently there is $800 for prize money. “If there are 300 voting tickets, then the prize money will be divided into 300 portions. If an entry gets 15 votes, it will get 15 of those portions. If it gets 75 votes, it will get 75 of those portions. So there could be five winners or there could be 15 winners,” Johnson explained. He said the contest has a place for music-makers as well. Johnson said his field of expertise is video and when he is looking for music to complement his YouTube entries – since he isn’t a musician – he goes for public domain music. “I think there are people out there in a similar situation or on the flipside, they can produce music but they can’t shoot video and they should be able to enter the contest. If you can shoot video but you can’t produce music and you don’t have any friends that can produce music, you

should be able to (as long as it’s legally allowed) use music that you found somewhere else,” he said. “If you’re video’s up on the screen and it’s just video, no audio and it’s contest time and people are looking at it, it just does not have that same appeal and I don’t think those people should suffer.” The idea came to Johnson after years of recording video of Grand Forks city council. “I see city council spending our tax dollars with hired pens from out of town again, again and again and I’ve been complaining about that to people, and anyone that will listen to me, for years,” Johnson said. “This latest thing with taking the sign money to do a branding exercise and doing it in a way which I didn’t agree with based on the experts they brought in before. The result is, we have this logo; most people can agree on one thing, they don’t like it.” Johnson also pointed to the Economic Development Advisory Committee approaching council for $10,000 to do a promotional video, a request council voted down. “I looked at it and said, ‘Well, gee whiz. A lot of people with this were complaining that they felt the city didn’t go to local people (for the logo).’ Local people could’ve done it and I decided I’d put my money where my mouth was, so I’m soliciting local people to produce videos and songs and I will be paying local people prize money and we’ll try and promote the town that way because I believe that people talk to people better than corporations and hired pens,” Johnson explained, adding that building community spirit was an aspect of it as well. Maureen and Marius Paquet of the GEM Theatre are more than happy to lend a hand to Johnson. “We both think Les has a fabulous idea,” said Maureen Paquet. “We are pleased to assist him in any way we can and have plans to throw some money in the pot for prizing, as well as being an integral part of the finale – showing the top DVDs on screen at the GEM,” she said.

COMMUNITY z STEWARDSHIP SOCIETY

Groups want mussels and invasive species out of lake

z Local Submission

CHRISTINA LAKE STEWARDSHIP SOCIETY

Members of the Christina Lake Stewardship Society (CLSS) and the Boundary Invasive Species Society (BIS) travelled to Dover, Idaho recently to learn the appropriate procedures for inspecting boats for Zebra and Quagga mussels. The objective of this trip was to learn how to keep Christina Lake clean by preventing the spread of Alien Invasive Species (AIS), like these mussels, into B.C. waterways. This training was offered by Tom Woolf of the department of agriculture in Idaho, where boat inspections have been occurring for the last four years. B.C. is behind its American neighbours when it comes to implementation of mandatory boat inspections, but the threat is real.

Last summer a boat that had mussels on it was launched into Shuswap Lake; fortunately, subsequent testing by the Province of BC indicated the mussels were dead. This was a wakeup call for B.C. to implement a program to prevent the introduction. Idaho has reported that each year, about seven mussel-fouled boats, destined for B.C., are intercepted by inspectors in Idaho. At the training session, the group was informed that two fouled boats heading for B.C. were stopped in Idaho already this spring. If these mussels were to reach our waterways, there would be serious impacts on property values, water quality, power generation, fisheries, as well as recreation and tourism. According to the Okanagan Basin Water Boards’ current Impact Assessment on this species, costs could be $43 million annually for the Okanagan Basin alone. These mussels smell horrible, have razor sharp shells that can cut up feet, and can displace the entire natural food web and watershed environment. They have the ability to clog water intakes and increase maintenance costs

for hydroelectric dams and a representative of the U.S. Senate (Joe Heck) stated that the bill to prevent Quagga mussels from completely overtaking the Hoover Dam cost the taxpayers of Nevada $1 million per year. To prevent this from becoming the fate of Christina Lake, it is essential that owners clean all watercraft and equipment thoroughly, drain all standing water, and allow them to dry, especially after being in a water body infested with these mussels. The message was present throughout the boat inspection training, as well as the importance of checking every tight, confined space for these creatures, since they are able to survive out of water for 30 days. Wakeboard boats are especially challenging as ballast water containment areas (such as water bladders), even when drained, are hard to get completely dry and mussels can be inadvertently moved from one body of water to another. The mussels are not present in B.C. yet, so it is important that all boats from out of province are vigilant in ensuring their boats are clean before launching in our lake. Members of the CLSS and BIS that received this training will be doing voluntary boat inspections and providing educational information throughout the summer at the Texas Creek boat launch. The two groups encourage people to come out and make sure their boats are free of non-native Zebra and Quagga mussels and other invasive aquatic species, including Eurasian Watermilfoil, and Curlyleaf Pondweed – two invasive species that the lake already has that the BIS and CLSS don’t want to spread to other bodies of water. Come see the groups at the Texas Creek boat launch or visit them at the Christina Lake Welcome Centre and get the information needed to help keep Christina Lake clean.

Wildlife Federation offers Wetlandkeepers course z Provincial Submission

BC WILDLIFE FEDERATION

The BC Wildlife Federation is running a twoand-a-half-day workshop called Wetlandkeepers at Boothman’s Oxbow in Grand Forks from June

14 to 16. The workshop is being offered in partnership with the Christina Lake Stewardship Society, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB), Granby Wilderness Society, Boundary Weed Management Committee and Grand Forks Wildlife Association. Up to 25 participants will learn the importance of wetland ecosystems and stewardship techniques in order to further enhance these sensitive areas. The workshop delivers technical skills geared to training participants to conserve and protect wetlands in their community. These skills include wetland mapping; learning about wetland hydrology (movement, distribution and quality of water); amphibian, plant and animal identification and surveying techniques and soil sampling. On completion of the course, participants receive a certificate. Wetlandkeepers is taught by an expert panel of instructors including Neil Fletcher, Wetlands education program co-ordinator for the BC Wildlife Federation, and Lisa Tedesco, habitat biologist with the Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations. Boothman’s Oxbow Provincial Park is an important area for waterfowl and the wetland is managed, in part, with Ducks Unlimited and members of the Grand Forks Wildlife Association – it is located off the Kettle River east of Grand Forks. The park includes rare and ecologically important black cottonwood habitat with numerous provincially red and blue-listed species.

But don’t let that stop you from coming down and cheering on the Piranha swim competitors. The pool will be back open on Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. for public swimming. Children who swim competitively, or participate in swim clubs, reap a lot of benefits. Team sports allow kids to socialize with their peers, developing long lasting relationships with their team-

mates. They learn responsibility, perseverance, self-discipline and teamwork.

There will be assistance from the Grand Forks Cycling Club and Running Club along with parent participation. At the end of the event there will be snacks and draw prizes. Pre-registration is required.

*** The annual Pharmasave Christina Lake Sprint Triathlon and Kids Sprint is right around the corner, slated for June 23. It is a fun event, perfect for the first time triathlete. The distances are attainable and there are several award categories. Every participant goes home with a goodie bag filled with locally sponsored items, along with a special gift that is always sure to please. Individuals and teams can register for the Pharmasave Christina Lake Triathlon until June 19. *** If swimming, running and biking all in one day is beyond your comfort level yet you still want to be a part of the action, why not become a triathlon volunteer? Many people are required to run a triathlon smoothly and efficiently. We can use your help on the morning June 23 with a variety of jobs requiring enthusiasm and a smile.

Local dancers bring home awards

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

This Friday, Jim Holtz examines the ‘Cult of Never’: that influential group of power brokers and movers and shakers who believe in never giving an inch, never looking back, and never admitting they’re wrong. Available on www.grandforksgazette.ca on Saturday morning.

Local dancers walked away with a stack of medals from competitions in Vernon, Kelowna and Castlegar in the last two months. “Jamie (Long), Sophia Plotnikoff and Anna (McGill) did a trio and they won the ﬁrst runner-up overall high score award,” said Dazzle Dance Studio owner Ashlie Jmayoff. She added that a number of her students ended up with gold, silver and bronze medals in all different kinds of categories from jazz, musical theatre, tap and lyrical. Jmayoff estimates that there were 17 dance studios and 400 to 500 dancers at

the competitions. Competition aside, some of the dancers of Dazzle Dance told the Gazette what it is that they love about dancing. Long, 17, said that she has been dancing since she was three years old. “It’s just what I have learned to love. It’s a good stress relief and I’m never really stressed out when I’m dancing, which is nice,” she said; however, she is “terriﬁed” of dancing in front of judges. Plotnikoff told the Gazette that her favourite type of dance is jazz and musical theatre. She loves dancing because it’s a way for her to move to the music without being criticized. “If you are dancing on your own you don’t really worry about what anybody

else is thinking about,” she said. Twelve-year-old dancer Briana Burch said she loves dancing in front of the judges. “It’s awesome, it’s so much fun; it’s my favourite thing to do,” she said. Paige Allin, 11, started dancing when she was ﬁve years old. “It’s just a lot of fun and I love dancing to the music,” she said, adding that her favourite discipline is jazz. The girls that do compete in April and June rehearse their pieces for the better part of the winter to prepare themselves. “I do choreography for their competition numbers at the end of summer so they have all the time to practice until April and May for competitions.”

WARP wildlife reporting tool launched SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

Residents who come in conflict with wildlife in urban settings now have a way to report their findings, thanks to the BC Conservation Foundations new Wildlife Alert and Reporting Program (WARP). The foundation has expanded on its Bear Aware program to include education on other forms of wildlife throughout the province. “One of the ways that we will help educate the public about the extent of human-wildlife conflicts within the province is through our new mapping initiative called (WARP),” said Frank Ritcey, provincial co-ordinator for the BC Conservation Foundation. The interactive reporting tool displays a summary of weekly wildlife sightings and conflicts. “It gives up-to-date information on what’s going on in terms of human wildlife conflict and it’s really a neat program in that people can see the extent and type of conflict not only in the Grand Forks area but throughout the province,” he said. The mapping tool allows residents to report an animal in a specific location and describe the conflict or attractant. The Gazette looked up WARP to see what was reported in the last week. In Grand Forks there was an injured deer reported at the end of Division Road on May 27 at 7 a.m. In Christina Lake there was a black bear sighting reported on May 21 along Chase Road at 10 a.m. There is also colour-coding which represents different types of attractants. “So the red bears are the bears that have been attracted to, say, garbage and dark blue is animals that have been

attracted to pets,” said Ritcey. The reporting tool falls under the conservation foundations new program called WildSafeBC, which strives to keep wildlife wild and communities safe, he said. “Deer, cougar and coyotes all present different challenges in trying to get the public to first, understand why the animals are showing up in urban settings and secondly, what it takes to reduce the potential for conflict between humans and wildlife,” he said. The educational component of the program expands when there is a partnership between the conservation foundation and cities. “We get funding from the provincial government to make this program available throughout the province and what we do is we form partnerships with either municipalities or regional districts,” said Ritcey. Partnered communities will then have a WildSafeBC co-ordinator who runs education programs. “Our co-ordinators come into the schools and they put on presentations to the students about wildlife, not only wildlife safety but how they can help their parents manage households to reduce the conflict between humans and wildlife,” said Ritcey. Jenny Coleshill, project co-ordinator for the Granby Wilderness Society, encourages the City of Grand Forks and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary to form a partnership with the BC Conservation Foundation. “We need more education around wildlife,” she said. “On both sides of us in the Okanagan and the Rossland, Trail area, they all have bear aware (WildSafeBC) co-ordinators and we are kind of the missing piece in here.” When the program started in 1999, there were approximately 1,000 bears being destroyed per year, said Ritcey. “Last year that number had reduced to about 500. It demonstrates that that many fewer bears came in conflict with humans that required their destruction,” he said.

Coleshill said it would be great for residents to get on board with the reporting tool and WildSafeBC. “One, it’s a great educational tool and two, it really engages the public in finding out why the animals are coming into conflict with humans,” she said.

This year the local food will be prepared and catered by Stoy’s Grill. Watch for posters and ticket sales or contact any member of the Grand Forks ATV Club to buy tickets. This year, the ticket cost is $15 with the grand prize of $1,000 being awarded. Come out and support the Grand Forks ATV Club. They are protecting your right to ride.

Pinochet-era No a film worth viewing Once again, I had the pleasure of going to the Spotlight Film on May 28 to see the historical film called No. I had some idea of the content of this film and tried to brush up my history of Chile before going. The article submitted to the Gazette on the last issue assisted me with this task very nicely. There were subtitles, which at times were hard to see, but one did get the general idea. The story is one of trying to rid Chile of its dictator Augusto Pinochet. Apparently in 1973 Salvador Allende, then the leader of Chile, was ousted after a violent coup, during which he committed suicide rather than succumb. Within a year, Pinochet had become the supreme leader of the military dictatorship and a reign of terror and violence began. A campaign called “No” began and a

z Martin’s Movie Pick LIZ MARTIN

plebiscite called for. There was also a “Yes” campaign but the movie concentrates more on the “No.” The star of this movie is Gael Garcia Bernal who was in the film Motorcycle Diaries, not an actor I am at all familiar with. His face was quite expressive and his own personal story was a nice touch to this otherwise political drama. He lives alone with his young son, although the mother of the boy visits frequently – she too is very into the “No” campaign. In 1988, due to international

pressure, Pinochet confidently called for a carefully calculated plebiscite to determine whether an eight-year extension of his brutal regime was valid. This film was nominated for Best Foreign Film at the Oscars and it won the Art Cinema Award at Cannes, so has made its mark and I found it very interesting. I got slightly confused at times with the politics, but the film did not make it too difficult for the audience to fully understand what had happened during Pinochet’s reign of terror. Some clips were shown depicting this very subject, not pleasant at all. I am always amazed at what some countries put their people through and the courage of these people to fight back and say no. -Liz Martin is a film critic for the Grand Forks Gazette, a movie lover, cello player and happy retiree.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING AND REPORT

In accordance with Section 99 of the Community Charter, please take notice that the required Annual Meeting of Council, as prescribed under the Community Charter, will take place on Monday, June 24, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers, City Hall, located at 7217 4th Street, Grand Forks, B.C.

GREG NESTEROFF Black Press

A Facebook site devoted to images of this region from the 1950s to the ‘80s is proving wildly popular, with hundreds of photos and comments posted within weeks of its launch. Over 300 pictures have so far been uploaded to Lost Kootenays, which describes itself as a “journey in space and in time into the heart of the Kootenays.” More than half have been shared by locals. A browse reveals shots from the 1972 Silver City Days parade in Trail; the Balfour ferry terminal, late 1950s; and the Kimberley Snow Fiesta 1958. There are lots of pictures from earlier years too, including snapshots that have never been shared with a wider audience. Others are from vintage postcards. Users are encouraged to contribute images, home movies, or advertising, particularly of scenery or buildings but also events like parades or carnivals. The site has so far received more than 7,584 likes from Facebook users as of Tuesday. As one commenter said: “Lost Kootenays is the fastest growing site I’ve ever seen on Facebook! And who is the person that created this great site?” Take a bow Zac Odin, a Creston writer and photographer. Greg Nesteroff (GN): How did you get the idea for Lost Kootenays? Zac Odin (ZO): I have been gathering various images I came across on the Internet of things that interested me for quite a while now, specifically of times that seem to have been lost. For example, I have gathered a large number of Soviet-era snapshots, candid photos of normal people doing normal things in what we were led to believe was the Evil Empire. I grew up in the Yukon and about a year ago I found some old and very interesting images of Whitehorse while searching Google, which I posted on an old blog and Facebook page. Most of these were postcards from the 1950s and 1960s showing a rather incongruous time – technological utopianism in the middle of nowhere. Not long afterwards I started following Vintage Los Angeles for similar reason. Recently I came across a lot of great images of the Kootenays. Naturally, I found these fascinating and thought others would as well and so I started a page following the model of Vintage L.A. GN: How would you sum up the

goal of the site? ZO: The original goal was to show a time in the Kootenays that was somewhat neglected – the 1950s through the 1970s. I was born in the early 1970s and the ‘50s and ‘60s are, to me, a sort of golden age. Post-Second World War affluence and then Cold War optimism in the face of the contradiction of nuclear destruction. A strange time when everything appeared to be new and people believed in the promises of the Space Age. Which is what appealed to me about pages like Lost San Francisco and Vintage Los Angeles to a large degree. However after the participation of many people, the page’s focus has definitely changed, becoming more of a historical archive. But an archive of the people, not the elite. Free to add to and free to visit any time you like. GN: Where do you find the images that aren’t otherwise credited? ZO: To begin with, Lost Kootenays is for entertainment and education. Nobody makes any money off it. Many of the images I posted in the early days of the site were found on Google, much like those on the other ‘lost’ sites, and as such are hard to source. Some of these first images are old postcards. We have a disclaimer on Lost Kootenays to the effect that we will take down anything that anyone has a problem with; because we cannot control what page followers are posting any copyright infringement is unintentional and will either be credited or deleted. For the photos uploaded by users, when we sort them into albums we always credit the original uploader. This is stated clearly on the front page. If anyone does not want their photos added to the albums they need to let us know. GN: When did the site launch and how did you initially advertise it?

ZO: I started this site on March 22, uploaded some photos, etc. but didn’t do any promotion until the following Monday. I liked various local pages and then I believe the I Love Creston page was one of the first to reshare an image of downtown Creston. On top of that some people I knew here were spreading the word. After that it just exploded, peaking last week with a mention on Global Morning News Vancouver’s Trending Now segment. GN: Are you surprised at the site’s popularity? ZO: Yes. I thought I might get some interest for the same reasons that there are other pages like this one but I did not expect that there would be so much. GN: Why do you think it’s touched such a nerve? ZO: I think there are a number of reasons. The obvious one is nostalgia and people remembering shared times and places. However, there is also the appeal of a vanished time, and I think this is what draws many younger people to the page, some of whom are still in high school. Many of these images are archetypal like, for example, the Peebles Motor Inn in Nelson. It is almost perfect technological utopianism — textured concrete, shiny surfaces, bright lights, etc. and now it is gone, and can never be replaced. One gets a feeling of deep longing for places like that. And sometimes it’s good to know that they simply just existed once. They are representatives of a Golden Age, whether that age was actually golden or not. There is obviously a historical appeal to this page as well that goes beyond memories. People simply just want to know the way things were and this deepens their experience of the area in which they live.

KEN SCHAUER

It has been said that 82 per cent of households of North America own a barbecue grill. I am told that 97 per cent use their grills at least one time a year. What do the other three per cent do with their grills? I have read that 92 per cent of the people around us own a Bible, but

only 37 per cent read the Bible. The culinary barbecue creations are special delights for our taste buds. The food and cooking skills are gifts from God for people to enjoy. This is true of barbecue, and it is also true of God’s word, the Bible. Just as the barbecue feasts are good to our tastes, so in God’s word we taste the sweet forgiveness of sins through Jesus. The Psalmist states, “Oh taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him,” – Psalm 34:8. I invite you to taste the good food of summer, and the good news in the Bible. – Ken Schauer is pastor of the Christ Lutheran Church in Grand Forks.

Allene Andersen (nee Tegart)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Mother, Grandmother & Great-Grandmother May 19, 2013 in Grand Forks B.C. Allene is survived by her sister Marian; son Dan and his wife Cheryl; grandchildren Tara, Tanya, Quinn and husband Trevor, Drew, Kyrie and husband Carlos, and Paisha and Arron; and great-grandchildren, Shara, Josh, Emma, Ashton and Trevin. She is predeceased by her six brothers, Allan, Art, Alfred, Raymond, Billy, and Happy; husband Andy; daughters Carol, Sherry, and Debbie; and her love of 20 years, Lawrence. Allene lived in the Kimberly and Invermere areas before moving to Grand Forks where she and Andy ran Boundary Lodge for many years. After her husband Andy passed, she lived in Kelowna for 20 years, and then returned to Grand Forks and lived at Abbeyfield House for the past 3 years. The family would like to express our sincere gratitude to the ladies who work at Abbeyfield, who not only looked after Mom, but obviously cared for her very much. Please know that she thought the world of all of you and always said “The food at Abbeyfield is wonderful – I just wish they’d make potatoes more often” – she was a true Irish girl at heart. We would also like to express our gratitude for the wonderful care Mom received at Boundary Hospital and most especially at Boundary Lodge. She was only at the Lodge for a short time, but the ladies there went above and beyond to ensure Mom’s comfort, as well as giving the family as much emotional support as possible. And special thanks to Mom’s wonderful hairdresser, Lori Frederico, for coming to the hospital and giving Mom a haircut – her favorite thing in the world. A memorial service and celebration of life will be held Saturday, June 8 at 2 p.m. at Grand Forks Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations to Mom’s favorite charity, the SPCA, would be appreciated. Arrangements entrusted to Everett Baker of Grand Forks Funeral Home gffh@shaw.ca.

COMMUNITY

Relay For Life

The Canadian Cancer Society’s 2013 Relay For Life event for the Boundary took place on Saturday at James Donaldson Park in Grand Forks. The event raises money for cancer research, celebrates cancer survivors as well as remembers those that have passed on due to the disease. This year, the total amount raised was $47,607, exceeding organizers’ budgeted revenue goals. Karl Yu Photos

Chris Levirs and Gethe Espersen prepare for the Survivors’ Victory Lap at the Relay For Life.

Lucille and Jim Plain both survived cancer and as such, took part in the victory lap for survivors on Saturday.

Fittingly the Kootenay Robusters dragon boat team was on hand at the 2013 Relay For Life. The team is comprised of breast cancer survivors and associates. Here Jeanie Turcotte, Bev Bedard and Peggy Phillips lounge under the Robusters’ tent.

Sound at this year’s event was provided by Zak Waterlow (left). Waterlow is pictured with Joe Northcott.
