Boating accident sends two to hospital CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Two young ladies from Vancouver were sent to hospital after the inner tube they were riding in collided with another boat on Christina Lake. The accident occurred on Sunday at around 4 p.m. when the boat the ladies were riding behind swerved to avoid another boat. “The two females, who were sistersin-law, were on the tube behind a boat,” said Staff Sgt. John Harrison of

Grand Forks RCMP. “They were doing approximately 50 km/h when another boat approached. The two vessels, as they approached, both altered course. One to port side, one to starboard. In other words – left and right, which put them directly on a collision course. The boats managed to miss each other. The tube which the two women were on struck the side of the oncoming boat.” The 24 year-old had minor injuries, while the 31 year-old suffered two broken arms including a compound fracture.

COUNCIL BRIEFS Variance permit postponed A vote on a motion to approve a variance permit for a property on 12th Street was tabled after hearing from a neighbour of the property in question at the July 22 council meeting. The complainant and the property owner met with Sasha Bird, Grand Forks manager of development and engineering. Council passed the motion at the Aug. 19 regular meeting subject to the conditions that the permit would meet the formal character of the neighbourhood, said Doug Allin, city administrative officer of Grand Forks. “It’s to do with two sea cans,” said Grand Forks Mayor Brian Taylor. “The neighbours were concerned about the aesthetics of it. It’s an unusual situation. “The variance is to put this garage at the front of the lot because the house is way at the back.” Taylor said the owner has agreed to put a face on the sea can facing the street to make it look more attractive. “They (the home owner) basically came to the resolution that they’ll have the secondary building have the optics of the primary building and the neighbours are okay with that,” said Allin. “It’s a pretty practical solution so it worked out for everybody.” Street banners considered The City of Grand Forks is looking into providing street banners for business after a request from the Downtown Business Association. “The business association asked if they could get street banners for their businesses, and council directed staff to follow up and work with them to develop a policy,” said Allin. The CAO said city staff would meet with the DBA to discuss the details regarding the street banners. The venture is a joint effort between the city, DBA and Boundary Country Chamber of Commerce. “A business can purchase two banners: one for the winter and one for the summer,” said James Wilson, executive director of the chamber. “They’ll be hung around the community. The banners will have the business names or logos but they’ll have the same colours with new city brand logo.” Wilson said the banner idea is modeled after Chewelah, Wash.

Correction

“She was taken to Kelowna General Hospital by helicopter,” said Harrison. “She was put into an induced coma because of her head injuries. That’s the last we’ve heard. She’s in very serious condition.” Harrison said the matter is still under investigation. Alcohol was not a factor. All parties involved were from the Vancouver area. “At this point, our investigation appears to indicate that both drivers were probably inexperienced in operating a motor vessel,” said Harrison.

Grand Forks city council agreed to a motion to provide an additional $68,000 towards the completion of phase one of the Trans Canada Trail. The money came out of the slag fund. “For me, I think trails are a big draw right now for every community,” said Taylor. The issue of access for people with mobility issues was brought up. Most seniors have mobility challenges of some kind, they’re not capable of wilderness travel and that’s what it becomes when trails are over grown. Having it paved will make it accessible to a lot of seniors, Taylor said, and a lot of people who have mobility challenges. Taylor is hoping the regional district gets on board to help with the trail. “It helps not only the city but the whole region,” he said. “The piece we’re paving out to the other train bridge is one fifth city distance and four fifths regional district.” The total contribution from the City of Grand Forks is $118,000 easily matching and surpassing the contribution from the provincial government of $100,000. “The tender is out and will be closing in a week or so,” said Allin. Construction on phase one is expected to begin this month and be completed in October. “One of the things a project like this does for a community is it allows us to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by allowing alternate modes of transportation instead of cars,” said Allin. “It also promotes healthy communities with a safe, walk-able environment.” Phase two goes from the far bridge to Christina Lake and will cost an estimated $1.5 million.

Council notes: Craft Beer A proposal was brought forward to council regarding a craft beer festival in downtown Grand Forks in September. The organizers of the event asked council if they would be interested in closing down a section of Market Avenue in the evening for the festival. The proponents still need to make an official application to the city. See the story on Page one about the frestival and what it is all about.

z Opinion

Health ministry should be involved

nce again the Ministry of Health has let the rural residents of British Columbia down. This time it is with regard to the installation of on-site sewerage systems. A column on the flawed government on-site sewerage regulations got a response from the British Columbia On-site Sewage System Association (BCOSSA) for reasons that it left the impression that BCOSSA may have been negligent in providing quality work. While BCOSSA has a responsibility for ensuring that its members carry out their responsibilities in a professional manner, the Ministry of Health--namely the health officer in each jurisdiction--is not doing what the Public Health Act sewage system regulation requires of them which isn’t much. According to the executive director of BCOSSA during a discussion about the Aug. 7, 2013 column, the regulation was never intended to be “industry driven.” However, the government chose to go that route. The determination of what is acceptable and what is not rests solely with an “authorized person.” A careful reading of the regulation reveals that the Ministry of Health is mentioned only five times as the recipient of the documentation and recommendations of an authorized person. An example of the language used in the regulation shows how little involvement the health officer has with the installation of sewerage disposal systems. “Section 8 (2) Before construction of a sewerage system, an authorized person must file with the health authority, in a form acceptable to the health authority, (a) Information respecting (i) the name, address and telephone number of the owner for whom the sewerage system is being constructed, (ii) the type of structure the sewerage system will serve, and (iii) the type, depth and porosity of the soil at the site of the sewerage system, (b) plans and specifications of the sewerage system, or of alterations or repairs to the sewerage system, prepared by an authorized person and with the seal of the authorized person affixed.

z Rousing the Rabble ROY RONAGHAN

(c) written assurance that the plans and specifications filed under paragraph (b) are consistent with standard practice,...” “Standard practice” is defined in the Regulation as “a method of constructing a sewerage system that will ensure that the sewerage system does not cause, or contribute to, a health hazard.” The fact that a single person can design, install and maintain an on-site sewerage systems without oversight from the Ministry of Health should be troublesome for homeowners who are installing a new system of having an existing one upgraded. Surely homeowners should have the assurance that there is no danger of their septic system becoming a health hazard for their families, their neighbours or the public at large. Without the involvement of the health officer or a third party inspector in the process, how can the homeowner be confident that the system recommended and installed is the right one and that it will serve for a couple decades without replacement or upgrading? Is there anything that property owners in rural areas can do that will ensure “standard practice” has been followed? They can begin lobbying the government for a change in the regulations that will require regional health officers to assume an active role in supervising wastewater practitioners and engineers to ensure their work meets required standards which means they will have to become involved in fieldwork as they once were. Therein lies the concern. The authorized person has responsibility while the health authority has almost none and that condition is likely not to change any time soon. Until enough rural homeowners make enough noise about the lack of oversight of the design, installation and maintenance of on-site sewerage disposal system, nothing will change.

e’re ‘driving’ change here in the riding of Boundary-Similkameen, with a series of projects that will improve safety on Highway 3, which is a key inter-provincial passage for motorists between B.C. and Alberta. Work is underway to resurface Highway 3 from Eholt Road to Fisherman Creek Road, and some side roads between Grand Forks and Greenwood. An improved road surface enhances the safety of the highway by making the driving experience much more comfortable and enjoyable. Another project will see a new cantilevered sidewalk designed and constructed for the bridge on Highway 3 over Osoyoos Lake. This will complement the existing sidewalk on the south side, improving safety for pedestrians. Finally, Highway 3 will also benefit from a new DriveBC webcam, located at the Highway 33 Junction in Rock Creek. This will allow

z RELIGION

Defining your own faith beliefs To the Editor: I write as a retired Anglican priest with 50 years experience in pastoral ministry, in response to last week’s letter: A GEM of a theatre. I support the right of any faith community to define their own beliefs. And in no way am I critical of the owners of the GEM Theatre; they give ample evidence of their strong community spirit. But I fear that many readers of the letter will think that the “destruction of the wicked at the end of time” is important to most Christians. On the contrary, very many of us think it is supreme example of an unbiblical literalism.

If God is love, then hell and damnation are a contradiction and impossibility, no matter what scripture may say. One biblical scholar says, “Hell is an obscenity against God.” I believe hell is totally a human idea, the projection onto God of the worst of human anger, violence and desire for vengeance. We are free to choose, but many of us choose the integrity of a God of love. We may build our own hells, and others may build them for us. But God continues to love us with a fierce tenderness, a compassionate mercy, a stubborn faithfulness. Hell is not God’s idea. Bob Purdy Grand Forks

Thumbs up to the two older men seen cleaning up garbage near the Ward’s Lake bird viewing station and along the North Fork Road. Thank you for helping keep the city litter free. Thumbs down to people who toss out beer and pop cans, coffee cups, food wrappers etc as they drive up and down the North Fork Road. Thumbs down to vendors that don’t update their answering machines with current hours on holiday weekends. Saying you’re open and getting there to find out you’re closed is really irritating. Thumbs up to the people who took care of our dog when he went missing. Thank you so much. He means the world to us. Would you like to give a thumb up or a thumb down?

This summer City Council focused on making improvements throughout the City for residents and visitors to enjoy. We all know that if you want to survive in the Grand Forks heat you need to get into the water to keep cool. Access to one of the most popular swimming holes in the City, “the Corner” was upgraded with stairs down to the beach, Porto potty and picnic tables added. Council is very pleased to announce that Phase One of the Trans Canada Trail upgrade will be underway at the end of September. The trail system upgrades incorporate 1.09km of City trail and .53 km into Area D –from the new Roxul parking lot to the Nursery Bridge Trestle. The trail upgrades are particularly exciting for individuals with mobility challenges and disabilities who will now be able to enjoy the trail. Congratulations to the Grand Forks Trail Society for making this important project happen. Summer events in the City are at an all time high. Our goal is for Grand Forks to host several special events throughout the summer to enhance the more regular happenings like the Farmers Market and Music in the Park. Our Public works crew were very busy setting up and supplying equipment for special events like the BMX Provincials, the Show N’ Shine car show, Grand Forks Fall Fair, Airport Appreciation Day and the Kettle River Festival of the Arts. City Council would like to thank all the volunteers who make these events such a success! There were a couple of substantial additions to the community this August. In partnership with Grand Forks Rotary, Grand Forks Credit Union and Community Futures Boundary the downtown core is now home to free WiFi. There are currently 6 access points installed that connect through the Grand Forks Fiber Optic Network to the internet. The Rotary Free WIFI zone covers the campground and City park area, as well as a good section of the downtown core. If you are driving into town be sure to check out the new City of Grand Forks signs. The signs utilize the new brand that was developed in the spring and are simple with clean lines, incorporating the new City logo and tag line “settle down”. The signs are located at the east and west entry points on Highway #3 and are lit up at night using solar power. The City is continually upgrading its infrastructure. Sidewalk repairs have been happening all summer and will continue into September and October. Tenders for crack sealing and repairs are currently open. The inﬁeld repairs at James Donaldson Park will be complete mid September and ready for the 2014 baseball season. Council would like to bid farewell to our 2 summer Interns; Priscilla Novella and Valeria Flora Ramos. The girls are from Brazil and are studying at the University of Guelph this fall through an exchange program with Engineers Without Borders. They did extensive work on riparian areas this summer. Thank you for all your hard work and good luck in the new school year! Speaking of school, children are heading back to school next week! Let’s keep them safe by watching for school zones and traﬃc pattern changes. Several members of Council will be attending the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) Conference in September. This is Council’s opportunity to meet with Ministers and lobby on behalf of our community on issues such as asset management. Council has four meetings with Ministers scheduled and will provide an update to the City in October. Watch for more information on water conservation and water metering in the future!

Local farmers’ market to get boost The BC Association of Farmers’ Markets (BCAFM) is targeting new customers who want fresh, nutritious and local food through $85,000 in funding from the B.C. Government’s Buy Local program, and the Grand Forks market could stand to benefit. The campaign will take place across B.C. in the 2014 summer market season and will engage all of their 100 member markets, of which Grand Forks is a member. The campaign will use social media tools including Facebook and Twitter in combination with media ads and online incentives and contests to raise awareness of local farmers’ markets across B.C. A video will also be produced for placement on the BCAFM and market websites. The Buy Local program offers successful applicants matching funds up to $100,000 to launch or expand local food marketing campaigns as part of a $2-million B.C. government effort to promote B.C. foods.

The prizes for the most exhibits at this year’s Fair have been increased to a whopping $500 for first, $300 for second and $200 for third place. The goal for increasing is to try and create some healthy competition throughout the area for people to get as many exhibits as possible into all the Fair categories. There is no fee charged for exhibit entries so they invite everyone to enter as much as they can, and maybe they’ll win one of the big prizes. This year’s Rock Creek and Boundary Fall Fair is Sept. 14-15. People can enter online at http://www.rockcreekfallfair.ca/. ICBC seeks 4.9 per cent rate hike ICBC has applied for a 4.9 per cent rate increase to its basic vehicle insurance rates to take effect Nov. 1. For an average driver who now pays $1,369 a year for basic insurance, the increase would add an extra $36. In its rate application to the B.C. Utilities Commission, ICBC is also seeking four per cent decrease in optional coverage that would reduce that annual bill by $25. The last rate increase was 11 per cent in 2012.

Shape Up For Change: Sept 24 to Dec 19 CRAIG LINDSAY PHOTO

Organizers Cassie Foxley (left) and Devon Butterfield are all set for the upcoming Southeast Brew and Feast set for Sept. 21 in downtown Grand Forks.

Foxley, who moved to Grand Forks recently from Spokane, owns Kootenay Occasions, while Butterfield is a chef and caterer by trade and moved to town from Vancouver. “I love organizing and hosting things and Devon has a lot of experience doing that as well,” said Foxley. The pair came up with the name ‘Taste Buds’ because they are foodies (food fans) and are good buddies. They’re excited to start a new venture in Grand Forks and they hope it’ll become an annual event. “In bigger cities they have the ‘Dinner Ala Blanc’ where you set up long tables and showcase local foods with a kind of end of the season harvest,” she said. “So we’re working with Kettle Valley Co-op and local farmers to work with the kind of food that is in season right now.” The ladies were able to secure the brewmaster from Tinwhistle Brewery in Peachland to come to the event. “The brewmaster, Jeff Todd, is originally from Grand Forks and he’s very excited to come back to the area,” said Foxley. “We’re going to do a really elegant dinner outside. We’ll have part of the downtown, in front of The Source, blocked off for a Saturday evening. We’ll have lots of lights and nice table settings. We’re going to have a long table so people can talk and get to know each other.” The dinner portion will consist of a four-course vegetarian meal with a sample glass of craft beer with each course. The brewmaster will talk about each different beer, while Butterfield will explain the food item that is paired with the beer. Also on tap at the event will be a competition for best local home brew. “We’re trying to get people who are already into beers and come,” said Foxley. “They’ll describe their beers to the judges. It’s just for fun. I’ve al-

ROLL OUT THE BARREL “Craft brewing” typically applies to relatively small, independently-owned commercial breweries that employ traditional brewing methods and emphasize flavor and quality. The term is usually reserved for breweries established since the 1970s, but may be used for older breweries with a similar focus. The Brewers Association defines American craft brewers as “small, independent and traditional”: small defined as an “annual production of six million barrels of beer or less”, independent defined as at least 75 per cent owned or controlled by a craft brewer, and traditional defined as at least 50 per cent of its volume being all malt beer.

ready heard from a number of people who want to come and check it out from Vancouver. “We want people to come to town and see Grand Forks and hopefully come back.” Foxley said she thinks September is a good time to have an event like the craft beer festival. “People often complain that there is nothing to do in Grand Forks,” she said. “So we wanted to do something after the summer rush. So we’re going through the Downtown Business Association and the (Boundary Country) Chamber of Commerce. After our expenses, we’re donating the money to the DBA so hopefully they can kickstart into doing more events. We’re kind of just opening the door and seeing where it goes.” Foxley said they’ve had a lot of positive response so far from the community. James Wilson, executive director for the Chamber of Commerce, said the event is another positive boon for the region. “It’s a new, fresh idea for downtown to get people to the downtown to enjoy some craft beer and some local food,” he said. “It’s a good event and hopefully people will get out and support it.”

BRENDA SEMENOFF Special to the Gazette

Gospel Chapel has reached out with a helping hand to many within our community over the years in various ways. One of its best known ministries is the Blessings Boutique and More (BBAM). This is the “umbrella” title that encompasses among many things programs for surplus food distribution, baby layettes, Blessings Boutique (a free thrift store—clothes, children and some household items), as well as the Community Christmas Hamper program. The church has always done what it could to address needs as they became known. With cutbacks and economic pressures, it became evident that some needs in our community were slipping through the cracks or just increasing in frequency and therefore required a more focused and coordinated effort. Blessings Boutique came into being as a

fledgling ministry in 2005 run by volunteers. Karren Donald was there at the onset as the main volunteer overseer. She came on staff at Gospel Chapel in 2007 and then as our official community care coordinator as well as an MCC (Mennonite Central Committee) representative since February 2008 until present. Notably, volunteers are still the driving force keeping all the programs going. Through Karren’s faithful service along with God’s blessing, the programs under

BBAM continue to flourish and grow, benefitting and providing assistance to countless folks locally and in nearby areas. Even so, the time has come where Karren has decided to step down and pass the torch. On Tuesday, Aug. 20 at 6:30 p.m. a retirement party was held for Karren in Gospel Chapel’s Fellowship Hall (gym) involving a dessert fellowship and brief program. It was well attended by a good mix of past and present community sponsors, business

donors, volunteers, church members, MCC personnel, and program participants/ recipients. Accomplishments were celebrated, key people were acknowledged, and well wishes were expressed, along with humorous anecdotes. Karren’s husband, Ed, was also highlighted for his crucial behind-the-scenes role. Karren and Ed received a gift basket and “hamper” from the Gospel Chapel staff. AGPS and bouquet of flowers were given on behalf of the Gospel Chapel elders and congregation. To ensure that this vital partnership between Gospel Chapel and the Grand Forks community continues, Tammy Battersby will step into the community care coordinator role at the beginning of September. Tammy was briefly introduced to those at the gathering. May “Blessings” keep on showering “blessings” on the givers, the gifts, and recipients for many years to come.

Don Festerling, owner/operator of Extra Foods in Grand Forks donates a cheque for $363.90 from the store to Leda Leander, executive director of the Boundary Family and Individual Services Society (BFISS). The money was raised through Extra Foods and parent company Loblaw’s Give a Little, Help A Lot campaign which has raised over $760,000 for local charities across Canada. “The results of the Give a little, Help a Lot campaign are a testament to the generousity of our customers and employees,” said Festerling. “This campaign goes to show that a small $2 donation can add up quickly and result in making a big difference in the lives of those in our community.” BFISS provides a wide variety of services to children, youth and families ranging from pregnancy support services, children’s development services, early learning services, support for children with disabilities, and child youth and family support and counseling services. Leander said the money will be used for sports and recreation programs for children who may not other wise have an opportunity to participate.

WHISPERS OF RETIREMENT

Keep eyes on road, hands upon the wheel September is the busiest month of the year for transit riders as students return to school and drivers are asked to be extra cautious as the new school year approaches. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of injury and death among children, so the reminders apply to all motorists. Children are often distracted, especially at the start of the school year. They are quick, small and often less visible than adults. “Look for clues that children might be on or near roads,” said BC Transit director of Safety and the Environment John Palmer. “If a driver spots: groups of children together, busy playground areas, bicycles or toys on the road ahead, these are all indicators that children may be at risk. It takes just a little extra care and attention while we are behind the wheel to avert a senseless tragedy.” Help protect children by following these safety rules: • Slow-down in school zones and residential areas • Obey posted speed limits: • Drive 30 km/h or slower in school zones between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. • Stop for school buses when lights are flashing

Her Honour is the province’s representative of Her Majesty The Queen in British Columbia. Guichon has spent a lifetime working and volunteering in community organizations and has an extensive background in ranching, so is a perfect fit for this year’s Rock Creek & Boundary Fall Fair theme “Powered by Volunteers.” CUPE back to table While students return to classrooms this week, representatives for the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) support workers will be returning to the bargaining table. Bargaining talks broke off earlier this month after CUPE representatives walked away from the table saying the BC Public School Employers’ Association, the bargaining arm for the boards of education, was unprepared to enter into mediation. Now, the Ministry of Education has appointed a mediator, spokesperson Peter Cameron, to assist with negotiations between CUPE and the Employers’ Association in Vancouver Wednesday. If an agreement is not reached job action could happen as soon as mid-September.

“After that, it should dry out again. But we’re expecting quite a bit of precipitation to give us a chance to cool down.” There is still an open fire prohibition in place for the SEBC. Campfires under a half metre by a half metre are permitted, said Turner. “We have patrols out this week to ensure campers are responsible and not leaving campfires unattended,”

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The Grand Forks and District Housing Society (Boundary Lodge Assisted Living)

Tuesday, September 17th 3:00 pm (Board Room) Boundary Lodge 7130 - 9th Street, Grand Forks

Ask an

Expert JEN BURROWS Insurance Broker

Why should I increase Liability on my auto insurance?

Liability protects the registered owner of a vehicle for expenses that can be incurred from third party bodily injury and property damage lawsuits including, but not limited to, legal expenses. Whether you or another person were the driver, your vehicle’s liability will respond to pay for injuries and damages in an at-fault accident. If you only purchase $1 Million Liability and the total damages are $2 Million, you will personally be responsible for the other $1 Million. But how do claims become this large? The limit on liability is not per person injured it is a cumulative total. If one passenger in your vehicle and four passengers in another vehicle are severely injured, the cumulative injuries could easily exceed $1 Million. Liability also pays for long term disability costs and future wage loss, which can result in multi-million dollar lawsuits. Many people claim, “you can not get blood from a stone,” however, lawsuits that exceed your liability limit will become your own personal debt including debt to your estate. This means wages could be garnisheed, liens placed on assets, and refusal to issue insurance or driver’s licences in the future by ICBC. Increasing your liability offers peace of mind and is one of the most affordable coverages you can add to your vehicle. ICBC offers limits from $200,000 to $5 Million. At RHC we encourage all our clients to very seriously consider their third party liability limits, as well as the ramifications of being underinsured.

B.C.’s ‘best’ indie festival ends summer PAT KELLY

Boundary Creek Times

The first Ponderosa Arts and Music Festival is now a reality. The exciting new open-air festival took place last weekend at the Rock Creek fairgrounds. Music for the weekend ranged from reggae, folk, rock and roll, to electronic DJ’s. Organizers Kris Hargrave and Kia Zahrabi aspire to make Ponderosa an annual event that brings those who love music back to the Kettle Valley each year. “We want to show more people what this beautiful part of B.C. has to offer,” said Zahrabi. Local talent appeared too. The Underpaid Sideman are a pair (Don “Max” Lindeman and Tofauna Lisa Tunold) of experienced musicians who gave up life in the big city to enjoy rural life on Anarchist Mountain. They opened on Saturday afternoon. Another group, Great White North had local Travis Eek, as well as Sid Ruhland whose family has started the Fire Hall Brewery in Oliver, in their mix. Close Talker—one of the headline bands brought to Rock Creek—is listed number 15 on the CBC top 30 Canadian indie songs list for the week of Aug. 30, 2013.

Festival organizers brought in a trailer that opened like a Transformer to become a full-size concert stage. During the afternoon sessions the music alternated between that and the fairground dais, which was dubbed the Pinecone Stage. Food venders were on site: Dave Soroka from Grand Forks with his Festival Espresso trailer plus Thai on the Fly from Penticton and a Smoking Hot Donairs wagon. Comments from performers and audience alike were favorable. Many appreciated having the river so close at hand so they could go down and cool off in the middle of the day. Zahrabi and Hargrave said they are happy with the result in their first year. “Now people know

this is what’s happening and if you want to have a good time come to Ponderosa next year,” said Zahrabi. Hargrave grew up in Bridesville. The pair did most of the work to get the festival up and running, from booking bands to designing websites and banners to putting up posters. “We are looking to build it for sure,” said Hargrave. “We just want to get people out, make sure it is the right vibes, get the right crowd of people. Because if people are enjoying themselves they will come back and they will tell their friends.” “We are just two 20-something guys with regular jobs who had a dream,” commented Zahrabi. “A dream that came true last weekend.

IN BRIEF Burning prohibition still in place The Wildfire Management Branch is monitoring a fire near Wee Sandy Creek in Valhalla Provincial Park. This wildfire was caused by a lightning strike on Aug. 26 and smoke is visible in New Denver, Silverton and along Highway 6. This fire is burning in a remote area of the park and is not threatening any trails, structures or communities. Due to its remote location and steep terrain in the area, it is unsafe for firefighters to access the site. The wildfire is currently less than one hectare in size and the Southeast Fire Centre is monitoring the fire’s activity. The Fire Danger Rating in the Southeast Fire Centre is mostly “low” to “moderate”, with pockets of “high” near Grand Forks. As of today, 281 wildfires have burned 554 hectares in the Southeast Fire Centre. Of those fires, 244 were caused by lightning and 37 were caused by people. An open burning prohibition has been in effect in the Southeast Fire Centre since July 8 and will remain in effect until Sept. 20 or until the public is otherwise notified. Sharing the passion Carolyn Herriot, one of B.C.’s top organic gardening gurus and author of The Zero-Mile Diet Cookbook: Seasonal Recipes for Delicious Homegrown Food (Harbour Publishing) is coming to Grand Forks. Herriot will engage in a discussion about the joy and importance of sustainable eating on Saturday, Sept. 7 at 3 p.m. at the Grand Forks and District Public Library. In her book, The Zero Mile Diet Cookbook and it’s companion book, The Zero-Mile Diet: A Year-Round Guide to Growing Organic Food, there are ideas for indulging in locally sourced, sustainable and healthy meals with family and friends. They contain creative strategies for organic gardening, seed saving and food security as well as practical advice: tips on preserving food with various storage techniques, instructions for canning, dehydrating, pickling and fermenting, and delectable, straightforward recipes for all seasons. The Zero-Mile Diet and The Zero-Mile Diet Cookbook are the products of Herriot’s concerted effort over the past 13 years to grow as much of her own food as possible. She has found that growing food leads to a good, healthy and happy life. Carolyn Herriot’s free presentation is brought to you by the Kootenay Library Federation and The Grand Forks and District Public Library.

Getting over the fear of water with knowledge The Grand Forks Aquatic Centre will be opening with the 2013 fall schedule on Sunday, Sept. 8 from 1-5 p.m. GFREC is gearing up for a great season with many fall fitness programs and recreational activities to choose from. Lifesaving Fitness Children and adults can challenge their fitness level and earn fitness awards. The Lifesaving Fitness program provides endurance and strength training for those interested in maintaining personal fitness levels for lifesaving emergencies or working towards specific goals. This program will be held on Thursday afternoons from 4-5 p.m. starting Oct. 3. The registration fee is just $85

for 10 sessions and includes progression awards certificate. Deadline to register is by Thursday, Sept. 26. There are many adults who never learned how to swim and over the years decided they are too afraid to learn. GFREC offers adult swim lessons to help you overcome the fear of the water or offer an opportunity for you to enjoy learning a new healthy recreational sport. Lessons will be take place on Tuesday mornings from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. starting Oct. 8 for four sessions. Thanksgiving senior’s dinner It’s that time of the year again and fall is upon us. Thanks to Copper Fields for providing an opportunity for se-

IN BRIEF Paddle for a cause Eight of BC’s most skilled and daring kayakers will be pitting their prowess against the wild Incomappleux River near the southern interior towns of Revelstoke and Nakusp. The expedition will begin on Sept. 3 and is expected to take at least seven days.

niors to get together and enjoy a free thanksgiving turkey dinner with all the trimmings. The senior’s luncheon will be held on Thursday, Oct. 10 with two seatings. The event will take place at the Seniors Centre at the City Park at 11:30 a.m. and again at 1 p.m. GFREC will be accepting reservations starting Sept. 9. Space is limited so call early to reserve a spot. Stretching for mobility

Eighteen kilometres of the Incomappleux River are protected within Glacier National Park; but a further 17 kilometres runs through a 27,364-hectare unprotected wilderness contiguous to the park. Along the river, there are grizzly bear havens in massive avalanche tracks, and an ancient rainforest with trees up to 1,800 years old and four metres in diameter. The total 35 km. of wild river is mostly whitewater and virtually unknown, due to its roadless nature, canyons and sometimes impenetrable bush.

Gisela will be back this fall with her Drop In Stretching for Mobility Classes. Exercises have been adapted so they can be done sitting in a chair or standing using the chair for support. Classes will be held on Tuesday afternoons from 1-2 p.m. and Friday mornings from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. starting Friday, Sept. 6. Drop-in fee is just $2 each time you attend. Parent and tot skate Skating is a great winter activity the entire family can enjoy in an arena or on the local rivers or ponds in the cooler months. Parent and Tot skate sessions offer a quieter time to get the little ones on the ice. GFREC offers two sessions a week: Monday mornings from 10:15-11:15 a.m.

Access will require the explorers to carry heavily laden kayaks 13 kilometers across a high mountain pass and down steep slopes of potentially impenetrable slide alder to reach the river. The Incomappleux wilderness is included in the Valhalla Wilderness Society’s 156,460-hectare Selkirk Mountain Caribou Park Proposal. Last year, the Society was contacted by the West Kootenay-based Endangered Creeks Expedition (ECE) team, a group of kayakers who use their skills to help

and Thursday afternoons from 1:15-2:15 p.m. There is no charge for the ice time or skate rentals during these sessions. Open house If your organization offers programs or activities for children, we want to know. The open house for children and youth event provides an evening for registration or to provide an informational session about what they offer. There is no cost to the groups and it is free to the public. Stop by on Thursday evening between 6-8 p.m. at the Grand Forks Arena Viewing room and find out what is available in our area. For information on all of our fall drop in programs, give the Grand Forks Recreation Department a call at 250-442-2202.

protect wild rivers. “We greatly admire their public-spirited endeavor to save wild rivers,” says spokesperson Anne Sherrod, “but we were also keenly aware of the dangers, and concerned for their safety, and told them so. All we can do is hope that they will emerge safely and triumphantly — and do our best to make the most of their efforts in our work. The threat of private hydro development on the Incomappleux River and its tributaries was extinguished in 2012.

Everyone wants their community to be welcoming, but are we always as good at it as we think?

Communities Help

In light of trends in the labour markets a concerning gap has been identified. There simply aren’t going to be enough Canadians entering the workforce over the next twenty years to meet shortfalls caused by retirement and economic growth. To help meet the need British Columbia is actively encouraging people to relocate to the province.

Make Your Community

Welcoming

If you would like to learn about how to make your community more welcoming in a more practical format the Welcoming Communities Program will be running a free workshop in your area on

The Welcoming Communities Program has been created to ensure these newcomers have the best possible chance of settling in our beautiful region.

08 Oct 2013

To assist all those who play a critical role in this - from employers and service providers to next door neighbours - the welcomemat.ca website has been created to provide a free online training resource.

Space is limited so book now by calling

On the site you will find essential information on defining and describing immigrants, understanding the immigrant experience, employment barriers for newcomers and increasing awareness in your community. You will also find quizzes to help you learn more effectively. The training is self paced, and designed to work around a busy schedule. When you feel ready there is even a certified test for you or your staff.

PRESENTS

(with Q & A to follow)

“Amazing Discoveries About Recent and Living Dinosaurs” Grand Forks Secondary School Auditorium Saturday, September 7th at 7:00 pm $5 Admission No Biology professors from UBCO, UBC, SFU, TRU and UFV has come forward to challenge/debate Tisdall on the topic: “Be it resolved: Biological systems are too complex to have evolved by natural processes such as Darwinian evolution.” So he will also give a talk “How to debate an evolutionist and NEVER lose” on Sept. 6 talk at the Okanagan College lecture theatre (1000 KLO Road, 7:00 pm)

Taking on the task of organizing a school yearbook would be daunting for anyone, but for then-Grade 11 student Shantelle Bron, she never hesitated when asked by Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS) Principal Scott Stewart. “At the start of grade 10, Mr. Stewart called me into his office and asked me if it was something I would be interested in taking on,” she said. “I said I’d be up for it if no one in the grad class was up for here. So I became editor.” For Bron, who is very artistic and loves writing, becoming editor of the yearbook seemed a natural transition. “It was something I’d always wanted to do,” said Bron, who had never done anything like yearbook. Not satisfied with previous yearbooks, Bron spent a lot of time researching companies. “I looked through a list of yearbook companies we had worked with before and got their prices,” she said. “Times are tough now. People don’t want to spend $50 for a yearbook. I got a real good price from Friesens. They seemed like a really good company to work with. They turned out great.” With no journalism class at GFSS last year, Bron formed a yearbook committee which would meet regularly during lunch hours. “I started with a huge group but by the end there was only a couple of us left,” she said. Bron estimates she spent over 500 hours work-

ing on the project, all while taking a full course load. “I thought it would be a lot easier,” she admitted. “It was really hard to get everyone together to just get it done. I thought I’d be able to meet all the deadlines easily but I ended up doing it until 2 a.m. with the music cranked.” Despite the long hours and added stress, Bron was grateful for the experience. “I feel like I’m going to take everything I did in yearbook as a lesson,” she said. “I learned so much. Not just about myself but about working with other people; having patience with myself; and working around problems.” Bron said that the feedback she’s received on the yearbook has been mainly positive. “I just did my best to capture the year properly,” she said. “You try to get that time capsule feeling, especially for the grads. You want them to have something to look back on.” Friesens were so impressed with Bron’s work that she was the focus of an article in the company’s newsletter. “Grand Forks Secondary should be proud of what Shantelle has accomplished,” wrote Cameron Fay, Western Canadian sales manager for Friesens, in the newsletter. “We here at Friesens give her a big round of applause for her extraordinary effort.” Not one to rest on her laurels, Bron was busy working this summer in Drumheller, Alta as a counselor at the science camp. She is on par to graduate from GFSS in January and is looking at Red Deer College in the future because of it’s university level arts program.

Roller derby final goes Sunday There is about to be an epic battle. We’re talking Starks vs. Lannisters caliber. We’re talking Montagues and Capulets. We’re talking Harry Potter and Voldemort but instead of wands there are shoulder and hip checks. Instead of wearing robes, they’re wearing roller skates. And instead of being an orphan wizard and the lord of darkness they are derby women. So there’s a few subtle differences, but basically it’s the same. The finals are here. Mountain Mayhem is Sunday, Sept. 8 at the Rossland Arena. This season has had big victories and losses. It has even had natural disasters. Speaking of which, major props to the Valley Vendettas who sadly had to forfeit their final match against the Killjoys due to the Lemon Creek jet fuel spill. The Vendettas had their own bout on July 27 and it was them versus evacuation and they triumphed.

Local cubs get pulled into the den in weekend Border Bruins Hockey Development Camp CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

With Grand Forks Minor Hockey starting up in a few weeks, several area youngsters were hitting the ice early to work on their skills at the Border Bruins Development Camp at the Grand Forks Arena. “It was a four day camp to get the players back into the

swing of things,” said Bruins head coach Nick Deschenes, who was the head coach of the camp as well. “We’re working on all the basic skills like passing, shooting, skating and stick-handling. We’re trying to have some fun as well.” The camp attracted players from ages five up to 15 and was split into different age and skill

level groups. “Last year, the program had about 30 players and this year we’re over 40,” said Deschenes. “So we’re growing it. We incorporated on-ice skill work with off-ice dryland training and a game component in the afternoon.” Helping Deschenes and the Bruin’s coaching staff were current Border Bruin players.

Bruins take bite out of Coyotes in first KIJHL pre-season tilt CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks Border Bruins finished off their training camp with a trip to Osoyoos for a pre-season game against the Coyotes. Despite having a very young line-up, the Bruins kept pace with the powerful Coyotes, losing 6-5 in their first pre season tilt of the KIJHL. “It was a really solid effort after a solid camp with a lot of bodies,” said Nick Deschenes, Bruins’ head coach and general manager. “We had a really good look at some players. I was really happy with the effort of our players. Last year was a different score and a different team.” Deschenes said the result shows the Bruins are getting closer to becoming a very competitive team. Scoring for the Bru-

ins were Max Newton with a pair, along with Corey Munro, Joel Madden and Mitchell Pearson. All are first year players for the squad. “Max is a 16 yearold player we just signed,” said Deschenes. “He had a break-out performance with a pair of goals and three points. That was really good for him. All in all, it was a nice evening.” The Bruins training camp went Aug. 3031 and Sept. 1 at the Grand Forks Arena. Deschenes was happy with the effort of all the players who competed hard for spots on the team. “It was a physical weekend with a lot of hockey,” he said. “I was really impressed. It’s a good start to the year. It’s going to hopefully foreshadow better things to come in the future here.” The Border Bruins

Christina Lake’s John Skeet feels ready to step into the Border Bruin’s junior line-up after playing for two seasons with the Kootenay Ice major midget team. Skeet, a recent signee of the Grand Forks Border Bruins, is one of the team’s key off-season signings and one of the reasons coach and general manager Nick Deschenes is confident the team will be much improved this year. “I’m very excited to be playing for the Border Bruins,” Skeet said. Skeet was an affiliate player last year and got to see action in a few games, so he has some junior experience already. A recent graduate from Grand Forks Secondary School, Skeet logged many kilometres traveling to practices in Nelson, Trail and Castlegar with the Kootenay Ice team. “During the winter it got pretty nasty on the pass,” he said. “I got stuck on the pass a few times and didn’t get home until three in the morning.” The burly defenceman, who can also play forward, has attended the Bruins’ boot camp as well as the team’s main camp and is looking forward to the start of the regular season.

John Skeet

“I like to bring a very physical presence to games,” he said. “I’ve never been much of a goal scorer or point-getter. I’m not a scorer at all. I hit. That’s my game. That’s how people know me, by my hitting.” Skeet said the Border Bruins’ first hockey boot camp was a great experience although he couldn’t participate in any of the active drills after getting stitches when a stick went through his foot the day before camp started. “I couldn’t walk very much but I still wanted to be part of the group and hang out with the guys,” he said. “I still had a great time.” Skeet has high hopes for the Bruins this year, despite the lack of success the franchise has had recently.

“Already I can see and feel a very good team camaraderie,” he said. “We’re all very close even though we haven’t known each other very long. The players from last year, even though they don’t really know me that well, treat me like one of their own.” Skeet moved west to Christina Lake with his family three years ago when his parents were looking to get out of the big city of Calgary. In a short time the family settled into the area and Skeet says they are loving it here. “We had a cabin at Christina Lake since I was little,” he said. “One day my parents just said, ‘Hey, we should move there.’ So we up and moved out here and have been enjoying a pleasant life in one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen.” And now he gets to play junior hockey. “It’s funny, in Calgary, Junior B is not a very competitive league,” he explained. “It’s just for guys that want to have a good time. Junior B out here is almost the equivalent of Junior A out there.” Skeet is also showing a commitment to community. He was on hand at the Christina Lake unveiling and raising of the visitor centre information flag and even helped take down the pole to put up the flag.

Uptown Sew & Serge

Starting out above B&F Sales, Uptown eventually moved to a shop across from their present location, and finally 10 years ago, into the space at 7354 Second Street (across from Kocomo’s). Uptown is popular with seamstresses, homemakers, quilters and anyone else with an interest in sewing. “We have people coming from many different towns, as well as the U.S. All are very welcome.” If you’re just getting started, or not sure how to start, Marcia has a list of basic supplies. Assembled in a small basket or box, this kit would also make a great gift for the student going off to college, or the co-worker soon to be married. Along with sewing machines by Husqvarna, Uptown Sew and Serge carries patterns, notions, thread and lots of sewing books. They even have specialty items like feather boas, curtain tassels and detergent specially formulated for delicate washables. As for fabrics, “We try to carry a variety all year around.” So, while bright cottons are at the forefront right now, they still have fleece, flannel and fashion fabrics, along with upholstery materials.

Looking forward to crafting solutions

ow is that watershed plan coming along? I’m hearing that question a lot lately. I’m happy to hear that people are interested, and know that we need to keep everyone in the loop about progress towards the watershed management plan. We are entering an exciting phase as the Stakeholder Advisory Group is beginning to discuss solutions to the watershed issues and challenges identified over the last several months. We will be releasing several short “discussion papers” on the website over the coming months to help the citizens of the Boundary and other stakeholders become better informed about the challenges affecting the Kettle River watershed, and better able to participate in developing and implementing solutions. The first paper, A Vision for the Kettle River Watershed, includes a draft vision and goals for the Kettle River watershed, a summary of watershed management challenges, and an overview of potential strategies for achieving the goals. It is available on our website at http://kettleriver.ca. It is the first of several papers that will propose strategies and actions to be included in the watershed management plan, which will be finalized in 2014. The advisory group recognizes the vital importance of reliable, quality water and healthy aquatic ecosystems

z Kettle River Q and A

GRAHAM WATT

for our communities, and recommends the following draft vision statement: “We envision a healthy, resilient and sustainable Kettle River watershed, that functions to meet community needs and values, and communities that act as stewards of the watershed.” This vision statement is accompanied by three overarching goals: 1) Healthy aquatic ecosystems sustain native biodiversity and aquatic life; 2) Safe and secure water supports healthy communities; and 3) Reliable, quality water supplies support a sustainable economy and food system. We recognize that there are many challenges to meeting these goals. For instance, naturally low flows in late summer are made worse by high water use. Changes in the climate and land use are affecting the reliability of water supplies and aquatic ecosystem health. We know that cumulative changes within the watershed impair water quality, aquatic ecosystems, and recreational and other values that are important to Boundary businesses and citizens.

We also know that our communities and organizations are not strong enough, in terms of money, human resources, and governance, to respond effectively to challenges across the Kettle River watershed. So what can we do—as communities, businesses and individuals—to respond to the challenges we have in the Kettle River watershed? As a starting point, we propose four strategic directions: 1) Increase community understanding, support and capacity for stewardship; 2) Improve the quality, reliability and security of water supplies through sustainable management of water resources; 3) improve watershed health and function; and 4) Maintain or enhance recreational, cultural and amenity values. Forthcoming discussion papers will expand on these themes and identify options and actions to be undertaken by the RDKB, other stakeholders and citizens of the Boundary. We look forward to receiving your input on this process at with the public that will be held throughout the Boundary this fall. Graham Watt is the coordinator of the Kettle River Watershed Management Plan for RDKB, and is working with a Stakeholder Advisory Group from across the region to develop a plan.

In several recent teachings, the Maticintin has been discussing with us how to ‘keep life simple.’ She says when we hear such plain and ordinary words we think that, because we know the words, we know what they mean. But ‘keeping life simple’ is something we really don’t understand. Otherwise, our lives would not be filled with problems and difficulties—and there would be no global conflict and wars—if we really understood how to ‘keep life simple.’ The wisdom master encourages us to make

Celebration of Life

June

Vanderwelle

September 7th, 2013 Service: 1:30 p.m.

z View From The Pulpit From the HÜMÜH Skycliffe Monastery/ Life Science Centre a new kind of conscious choice in our daily lives. “You want to seek out the simple in life….You dwell too much on things, and worry about things, and everything gets compounded!” (excerpt from a recent teaching). So while we may live in a log cabin by a quiet stream, or a ranch house with a great view high on a wooded hill, as long as we are mulling things over in our minds, picturing and worrying about what we consider to be ‘our problems,’ then we are actually making our lives more complicated. We might think we are helping others by coming up with ideas that will solve their problems, but when we insist that things be done the way we think they should be done, then we are making difficulties for others. We aren’t keeping life simple. To seek out the simple in life means

that we decide to stop continually talking to ourselves in our own minds about all the things that concern or upset us. This pause in the ongoing inner debate then begins to free the mind from the suffocating clutter of unwanted images and difficult emotions that ceaselessly feed the outer complications. Life starts to become more simple, spacious, and quiet. Problems naturally diminish because we no longer magnify their importance. Not engaged in potential conflicts find easier resolution, rather than escalating into long-term struggles and wars. We begin to more easily see the actions, or non-actions, that allow things to work out in ways that suit everyone, including us, because we are no longer so concerned about controlling others or how others feel about us. Such a simple life is appealing, and it

certainly would be a gift to have more freedom from difficulties and upsets. In fact, it would be quite different from how we are used to living. If you are intrigued to learn more about how to live in this way, you are welcome to join us for teachings, which are given daily at 11:45 a.m. at HÜMÜH Monastery. Retreat or lunch reservations may be requested by email at Reservations@HUMUH.org or by calling 1-800-336-6015. The HÜMÜH Monastery is open to visitors daily 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors are invited to attend the teaching at 11:45 a.m. and to take a self-guided tour of the monastery grounds, including the Forest Temple of Enlightenment, the Golden Healing Stupa* and the RedRock Stupas, Amitabha Vista, and the River Walk, as well as to make use of spiritual training tools, such as the Edge Walk, the Labyrinth, the Karma Shedding Pit, and the Whirling Circle. *A Stupa is a sacred monument that houses the ancient spiritual teachings which are at the heart of all spirituality.

Boundary Agricultural Society initiative supported

A STITCH IN TIME

The Sunshine Quilter’s Guild of Grand Forks held their biannual quilting show over the Labour Day long weekend. Here, new quilter Patti Bevilacqua poses with her second place winning lap quilt, Autumn Kaleidoscope.

Grand Forks city council agreed in principle to support the endeavours and initiatives of the Boundary Regional Agricultural Society with regards to Grand Forks being a genetically engineered (GE) free zone. Gary Smith was the lone councilor to vote against the proposal, stating that the science doesn’t back it up. “To make a decision based on passion is flawed,” he said. “It’s our responsibility as a

council to make the best decision for our community based on the facts.” Coun. Cher Wyers said the reason she supported the motion was because she thought it was important to have an organization watching over the situation with genetically engineered food. In a letter to the Gazette, Sheila Dobie, chair of the Boundary Regional Agriculture Society, stated: “We believe this is a step in the right direction to make the Boundary region food secure

into the future and we appreciated all those who worked on this campaign.” She also wrote that 522 local citizens signed a petition, which was presented to council at the Aug. 19 committee of the whole meeting, in support of the resolution to make Grand Forks a GE free zone. City CAO Doug Allin stressed that council did not adopt a food charter or declare Grand Forks a genetically engineered free zone, but merely is supporting the initiatives of the society moving forward.

BC Hydro has cancelled or deferred four electricity purchase contracts with independent power producers, and the total may reach 20 by the time a review of projects is complete, Energy Minister Bill Bennett said last week. Bennett said the review is part of a broader effort by BC Hydro to meet his instruction to “spend less money,” as he leads an effort to reduce costs across all government operations. BC Hydro proposed the move, identifying the 20 project proponents that were not meeting

their contract obligations due to financing, regulatory or other problems. That non-performance gives BC Hydro legal authority to delay or terminate contracts. The utility has contracts with 81 operating projects, mostly run-of-river hydroelectric, and another 47 are under construction or seeking permits after receiving purchase contracts. BC Hydro released its latest draft resource plan last week, which estimates the province has enough electricity supply to meet growing demand for the next 10 years. B.C.’s Clean Energy Act requires BC Hydro to be self-sufficient in electricity by 2016.
