Vandals plague Hardy Mtn. CRAIG LINDSAY
Grand Forks Gazette
City officials are concerned with a recent string of vandalism at the airport beacons on Hardy Mountain. The two separate events took place within the last month and thus far police have no leads. The first act of vandalism on the mountain top occurred on Oct. 2 at 5 a.m. when rocks were thrown at the solar panels at the beacon site, according to Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. It’s uncertain what damage there was. The latest case occurred on Oct. 15. “Someone had broken some solar panels that provide power to the emergency air traffic lighting,” Cpl. Richard Lanz told the Gazette at the time. The estimated amount of damage was around $5,000. “Right now we don’t have any suspects,” said Lanz. “I would say that because not a lot of people go up there so I wouldn’t be surprise if it was the same people involved in it.”

IN BRIEF Theft of chainsaw On Oct. 17, the police received a report from a business in Christina Lake of a theft of two chainsaws. The total value of the saws is approximately $2,300. “The chainsaws were both Stihls,” said Lanz. “One had a 28 inch bar and the other was a pole saw.” Anyone with any information regarding this theft is urged to contact Grand Forks RCMP.
Thief works to steal work tools Also on Oct. 17, RCMP were called to out to investigate a theft that occurred on Oct. 16 between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. at the Texas Creek boat launch. “The back of a pick-up truck was broken into and quite a few tools were stolen,” said Lanz. Stolen were a Stihl chainsaw, a cordless Makita screw gun, Impact drivers and cordless drill sets, and a cordless grinder. The total value of the theft is estimated at $1,200. Anyone with any information can contact the local police.
Roadside check ends in impound On Oct. 17 at around 8:20 p.m., RCMP were conducting a road check on 72nd Avenue and Seventh Street. “A white Ford pick-up was checked,” said Lanz. “The driver of the vehicle showed signs of impairment. He was put on an approved screening device. The result of that was a fail.” Lanz said the driver, a 31-year-old Castlegar resident, was issued a 30-day IRD, which is an immediate roadside prohibition. The vehicle was also impounded for 30 days.

Free criminal record checks
critical contribution: Family makes donation to realize new heliport for Boundary Hospital
Beginning Nov. 30, organizations in B.C.’s volunteer and non-profit sector will be eligible for free criminal record checks for their volunteers who work with children and vulnerable adults. Simultaneous changes to the provincial criminal records review program will allow more efficient sharing of current, verified criminal record checks among groups in the sector, saving them time and paperwork and provide volunteers and publicly funded employees with more mobility. For the volunteer and non-profit sector, the free checks will provide an added incentive to opt into the program. Groups in the provincial program will have access to its adjudication process, which provides expert, consistent risk assessment when a check does identify a criminal record containing relevant offences.

Dignitaries joined Interior Health officials for the grand opening of the new heliport at Boundary Hospital on Monday, Oct. 28. Members of the Clifton family, whose $200,000 donation made the heliport possible, were also on hand to celebrate the addition to patient transport. The heliport will be used by the B.C. Ambulance Service dedicated emergency helicopter in Kamloops and other contracted helicopter companies. This new heliport will mean that critically ill patients requiring helicopter transportation can leave straight
from Boundary Hospital instead of traveling via ambulance to the Grand Forks airport. “The new Boundary Hospital heliport will shorten the time needed to transfer critically-ill patients to the lifesaving health services they need,” said Linda Larson, Boundary-Similkameen MLA and parliamentary secretary to the minister of Health for Seniors. The heliport, made possible by a $200,000 estate donation from the Clifton family, honours the memory of Gordon and Jean Clifton, long time Grand Forks and Christina Lake residents. “My parents were dedicated to this community and wanted to ensure that their donation would benefit the
people of this valley, and that Interior Health would use the funds to improve health care at Boundary Hospital,” said Ron Clifton, Gordon and Jean’s son who attended the opening with his wife Linda. “We believe this heliport achieves their vision.” Construction on the 27-metre diameter heliport began in June and the heliport was certified by Transport Canada on Sept. 25. “Having a heliport at the hospital will speed up available air transfers, which is a hugely significant factor for the acutely ill or injured in the Grand Forks area,” said Les Cleverly, B.C. Ambulance Service manager of critical care operations.

Budding young inventors in the Boundary could find themselves on the junior version of the popular CBC show Dragon’s Den. Junior Dragon’s Den is open to students in grades 8-10 (junior) and grade 11-12 (senior) in the West Kootenay/Boundary area. The program is a West Kootenay wide initiative and call to action for student entrepreneurs, aged 12-17, to create their own summer job/business. “We believe it’s going to be a

great opportunity for young entrepreneurs to receive guidance to develop their business plans,” said Andrea Zibin, case manager for Community Futures Boundary. “They can also receive startup funding for their business or RESP contributions. We’d love to see Boundary youth challenge those students over the hill.” To qualify, students are required to submit a business concept paper for their business idea and a brief 1.5-to-two-minute video elevator pitch, explaining their business idea and why they
should be chosen to compete in Junior Dragons’ Den. The top five applicants from each category (junior and senior) will advance to the competition and each will
be assigned a mentor from the local business community. Each applicant business will be featured online at juniordragonsden.ca, as well as through a
variety of social and traditional media outlets leading up to the final competition and show. The top five junior dragons will then pitch their refined business idea June 6 at a live show format at the Charles Bailey theatre in Trail to a panel of local West Kootenay dragons. The first, second and third place winners from each age category will receive cash prizes and awards toward the start-up costs of their respective business, while the fourth and fifth place candidates will receive parting gift packages.

So many treats
A
nother Halloween will soon be upon us with ghosts and ghouls haunting the streets of Grand Forks and area in search of treats. There’s already been some spooky sights around town with the Boundary Horse Show and their costumed contestants and the very Spooky Swim at the pool, which featured pumpkin bowling. The gallery 2 is having a Haunted Harvest at their place with some scary sights and spooky music. For good fun with food and friends, be sure to check out the Halloween Social at St. John’s United Church on Oct. 30 starting at 1:30 p.m. Out on Starchuk Road at Mars Day Spa, the Grand Forks Secondary grad class is having a fundraiser with the Haunted Tree Maze and Yard. That sounds like it might be almost too frightening. The maze is open on Oct. 30, Nov. 1 and Nov. 2. Things really amp up on Oct,. 31 with the Halloween Howl at Perley School for the pre-school crowd. Of course, on the big night the Rotary is hosting their always popular bonfire and fireworks event at Angus MacDonald Park. It’s great to see so many wonderful events that are all family friendly and have been time tested and kid approved. But Halloween is not all about the kids. For adults, there will be plenty of fun and frivolity as well with the Freaker’s Ball going on Saturday at the Legion. However you enjoy Halloween week. We urge you to be careful when driving and be wary of trick or treaters who may not be as aware of traffic as they normally would be.

Resolutions go the way of the waistline this season second opinion JIM HOlTZ
The holiday season is approaching and I am not happy. If past experience is any indication, within 10 weeks I will be 15 pounds heavier, my belt will be digging a furrow into my waist and my thighs will be rubbing together when I walk to the mailbox. I love the holidays themselves, of course, but I am no longer capable of denying myself the food and drink that accompanies them. When I was still teaching, the holiday season didn’t begin for me until the students were let out for Christmas, usually between Dec. 18 and 23. Now my timetable has become forever aligned with the retailers and mail order merchants, all of whom begin to ramp up their sales pitches
in October. The catalogues appear in my mailbox first, usually about Oct. 3, offering a cornucopia of edible gift items. Not that I buy any of the mail order jam, jelly, fruitcake, or venison sausage, but the stimulation of my saliva glands has begun, just in time for the Halloween candy displays and the church ladies’ apple pies. I find myself buying bags of little candy bars whenever I go to the grocery store, telling myself that I should stock up for the trick or treaters. I live 25 kilometres from town. We have no trick or treaters. I am slightly older and wiser than when I trick or treated myself however. Instead of eating all the Halloween candy in one or possibly two days, I stretch the feeding frenzy over at least a month, starting a week before Halloween, extending it until the leftover candy is reduced to half price at the supermarket, and ending just as Christmas cookie baking and eggnog blending
begins. My wife bakes about eight batches of cookies for the annual cookie swap between friends and neighbours, usually around Nov. 15. Oddly enough, that is the same date the cookie eating begins. Eggnog is itself responsible for a third of the additional weight I put on. My wife and I dislike store bought eggnog; we make our own. It consists of whipping cream, half and half cream, whole milk, eggs, sugar and rum. Nothing much fattening there. By the time the final countdown to Christmas begins, my arms alone have put on two or three pounds each, not that that slows down the hoisting of glasses and mugs filled with mulled wine and cider. Then on Christmas Day I am confronted by the final frontier, Christmas dinner. I don’t want to fill myself up with turkey and ham, stuffing and potatoes, pie and ice cream. Really, I don’t. But by this time I have

become possessed by some insatiable desire to eat. I can’t stop. Everything looks so good, smells so good, tastes so good. I have even begun to lie to myself about the weight that is being layered onto my body. I look in the mirror and say: “That’s not so bad! You were heavier in ’92! You need a few pairs of new pants anyway.” And so I dive in with gusto, devouring everything in front of me. Second helpings? No problem. Thirds? Don’t mind if I do. Even Boxing Day, a day which many people use to reassess personal relationships because of the cheap and thoughtless presents they received the day before, even on that day I have just one thought: Leftovers! No, I am not looking forward to the holidays. Unlike Alice, my looking glass promises no Wonderland, just shame and another broken New Year’s resolution. Jim Holtz is a Boundarybased writer.

Letters
to the editor
A hit-and-run conundrum To the Editor: There have been several news items in the media recently concerning hit-and-run accidents. Unfortunately, some of these have resulted in serious bodily harm, though the vast majority concern property damage only. However, whether property damage or injury is involved, to leave the scene of an accident is not only illegal, but morally rep-
rehensible. This past Saturday, I experienced the unpleasant result of a hit-and-run event. While shopping in Overwaitea, some unidentified individual hit my car in the parking lot and left the scene without leaving behind any information. The damage was significant and the collision must certainly
have been felt. I’m hoping there may have been a witness who thought, at that time, the collision may have been inconsequential. If so, I would love to be contacted now with any information whatsoever. Or perhaps the driver of the vehicle would be so kind as to step up to the plate. Jack Lucke, Grand Forks
The solution is simple for deer problem To the Editor: I grew up in this valley. We had no problem with deer then back in 1968. The dogs in the valley kept the deer out. It wasn’t until the SPCA was allowed to
catch and kill animals that the deer started coming into the valley of Grand Forks. It is understandable to have vicious dogs locked up but maybe we should allow the dogs that don’t pose a
threat to children to do their job and keep the wild animals out of the valley. I like friendly dogs and they don’t eat my roses. The solution is simple—let’s not allow the dog catcher free reign on just any
dog, only ones who are a threat to children. I had a herd of deer in my car port yesterday because I brought home a few boxes of apples. Enough is enough. Nadine Nevocshonoff, Grand Forks
Smart meters a frightening order To the Editor, Subject: BC Hydro Meters Fees Dear Minister Bill Bennett, I read with great concern an item in our local paper, the Grand Forks Gazette (Wednesday, Oct. 9), about your cabinet order to the B.C. Utilities Commission to make sure they approve fees high enough to cover costs of customers opting out of BC Hydro’s smart meter program. This is a frightening order. Are you fully aware of the possible consequences of these new meters, adding even more invasion of electro-magnetic frequencies (EMFs) to your immediate environment? Are you aware of the health risks that may occur? We are already being bombarded by EMFs from satellites, radio towers, and the new technologies of wireless internet, cell phones and more. We do not know the risks and how they will play out in the next 20 years. There are already noticeable changes in people’s memories, as both you and old find themselves losing words, unable to complete sentences. It’s not Alzheimer’s disease, it’s the disease of new technology, interfering with our own natural electrical and magnetic energies within our bodies.
And never mind the consequ3nces of these EMFs on the residents of metal trailers and mobile homes that are like conductors for energy. And now you insist those who wish to maintain their health must pay BC Hydro when they opt out of the new meters. You insist they pay for a gross financial error made by the corporation in purchasing the meters in the first place without due research. This is tantamount to tyranny, forcing the public to pay for another’s mistakes. In addition, you state you can turn the ‘radio off.’ Sir, this is not a radio signal—this is an invasive EMF. I therefore suggest you reconsider this situation and think of human need and health before thinking of corporate pocket books and penalties. As a suggestion, we here in the Boundary are serviced by Fortis BC which also provides our natural gas. A meter reader, for that is what the penalty is for, to pay a meter reader, can cover both electric and gas meter readings at the same time. Does it really cost each resident $35 for the five minutes it takes to read a meter? This is gross injustice. Rosemary Phillips, Christina Lake

Bergmann piano duo in concert ERNA GOBBETT
Grand Forks Gazette
The second concert of the Performance Series 2013-14, The Bergmann Piano Duo, will be a special treat for all music students and piano enthusiasts. On Thursday, Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m. the B.C. husband and wife team, Elizabeth and Marcus Bergmann, will perform in the Grand Forks Secondary School auditorium to dazzle us with their energetic and dynamic performance on their own two grand pianos. They have inspired audiences for two decades in many parts of the world, the United States, Germany, Holland, Greece, Canada and now a tour in the Kootenays. Their agent, George Zukerman, organizer of Performance Series concerts since 1976, has made a special effort to arrange these concerts in smaller centres. The Bergmanns have garnered many awards such as first prize at the International Chamber Competition in Caltanissetta, Italy and at the fourth Murray Dranoff International Two Piano Competition. The duo’s CD production include recordings for the Artos, Koch International, Brilliant Clas-
Deschenes Under Deschenes guidance, the Border Bruins went from 1-49-0-2 in 2011-12 to 8-40-1-3 last year. So far this year, the Bruins have a 6-7-1-0 record good for 13 points and fourth place in the tough Neil Murdoch division. “We as a board of directors met with coach Deschenes on the weekend and were very impressed with his approach,” said Smoke Eaters president Tom Gawryletz in a press release. “He comes to our organization with a terrific hockey background and was doing a great job with the club in Grand Forks.” Deschenes joined the Border Bruins at the tail end of the 2011-12 season after his final season of professional hockey with the Federal League’s Danbury Whalers. He replaces Bill Birks, who was head coach of Trail for two and a half years after being an assistant for one year. Birks was released two weeks ago after the Smokies lost five straight games. Deschenes told the Gazette that the whole process went very quickly and came out of the blue. “It all happened over the course of three days, over the weekend,” he said. “I accepted the offer on Monday.” Deschenes said he really enjoyed his time in Grand Forks but is looking forward to the challenge in Trail at the Junior A level. “It’s what the KIJHL is about: promoting players, and coaches, to the next level,” he said. “I wouldn’t have had this opportunity, and I wouldn’t have been as willing or as prepared, if I hadn’t been given the
sics and Naxos Labels. Their extensive repertoire ranges from the baroque to contemporary and will be suitable for students as well. In Grand Forks they will also play selections from Westside Story. They also enjoy teaching and are directors at the B.C. Langley Music School. Previously, Marcus was professor of music at Mohawk College in Ontario and Mount Royal University and has been involved in projects in The Banff Centre of the Arts, The Murray Dranoff International Two Piano Competition and Foundation in Miami, and they were winners of 2005 and 2006 Western Canadian Music Award for outstanding classical recordings. Elizabeth and Marcus both had musical parents and started piano lessons at an early age. They also learned to play other instruments: violin, cello, flute and guitar. They became a piano duo while studying in Hannover, Germany and at the University of Montreal. Advance tickets are available at Thistle Pot Gifts and gallery 2 gift shop and at the door. The Performance Series committee is proud to present this concert as the last pianist, Sara Davis Buchner, performed here in 2007, Bruce Voght in 1997 and David Scheel in 2001.
Continued from Page 1 chance in Grand Forks.” Deschenes is quick to compliment the community, the players, and the board for all the support he’s received as coach and general manager. “To be able to work with these players, some for almost a year and a half, everyone’s played their part,” he said. “From a personal standpoint, obviously, it’s a promotion career-wise, but it’s also a reflection of how Grand Forks has a lot of potential and can be a stepping stone to the next level for a player or coach.” Deschenes is pleased to be able to stay in the same region to coach. He thinks the Smoke Eaters are in a similar situation to the Border Bruins when he arrived. “I’m comfortable with the area,” he said. “Trail’s trying to turn things around. Obviously, they’re in a bit of a losing skid. I’m going to work as hard as I can to help them get back on track.” Team president Martin Vanlerberg told the Gazette that the board was taken by surprise and is currently scrambling to find a replacement. In the short term, vice-president and assistant coach Matt Zamec will take over as head coach and general manager on an interim basis. “We definitely weren’t expecting it,” said Vanlerberg. “I think the organization had invested a lot into Nick Deschenes as a coach and team leader, and we weren’t expecting it to go that route. This is one of those things – it’s not routine. It’s not often heard of or seen is sports. It would surprise any organization, I think.” Vanlerberg added that the board of directors would be
working hard to find and hire a full-time coach. “Ideally, we would like to hire someone local,” he said. “We’ve got some amazing hockey talent in this region. But I think it’ll be one of those situations where we have to go into survival mode and hope in the interim process we can have a collective group of people that can be cautious. We need the right person at the helm. We though Nick was that person, but he’s gone on to better his career. That’s obviously great for him (but not so great for us).” Vanlerberg said the timing of Deschene’s departure one month into the season is particularly distressing for the team. “I thought we were developing as a hockey team and as a board (with Nick) we were bringing some new fresh ideas,” he said. “I really do feel whole heartedly that Nick offered a lot to the kids as part as coaching philosophy and everything else to the boys, but that those boys in the room offered a lot to Nick to get to where he is professionally.” Vanlerberg said he is very proud of the Bruin players and expects the veterans to lead the team through the coaching change. “We’ve got a good thing going,” he said. “In the last two games alone, to be so close to Nelson and Castlegar. These are one goal games that people are excited about. The message I told the boys in the dressing room Monday night is that the community is behind them. There’s a great buzz around town. I’d love nothing more than this next game Saturday at the Grand Forks Arena against Castlegar to be packed.”

Senior’s Lifestyle Community Keeps Winter golden life at Bay #002
Life in winter can be daunting for seniors. The cold temperatures can make the simplest of tasks much more difficult. Chores like shoveling the drive-way or picking up groceries can turn into momentous tasks. Ice and snow represent real physical dangers that can not only cause a nasty fall but also get in the way of activities outside the house. There is always the worry of a broken or failing heating system that can result in all manner of bills and troubles, adding more unnecessary stress. Combine these stresses and it may lower quality of life, causing family members endless worry. Fortunately retirement housing at Silver Kettle Village can provide plenty of peace of mind for both the residents and the family members, with apartments designed to take the worry out of winter. Not only are the studio, one and two-bedroom suites appointed for comfort and independence but also include many key features to help with each resident’s individual wants and needs. Independent heat and airconditioning controls allow them to set the apartments temperature to whatever will be most comfortable for them. Full kitchens and large wheelchair accessible bathrooms can help residents maintain their independence while weekly housekeeping services and 24-hour assistance is available for complete peace of mind. Since the Village boasts many leisure opportunities, residents don’t have to worry about braving the harsh winter weather in search of relaxation and fun. Just outside of their front door they will find many amenities such as a games room, library, and spa, as well as many lounge areas which are certain to be filled with friendly
faces and familiar smiles. There are also special recreational and social activities such as live entertainment, exercise programs and excursions to local attractions, which are all covered in the affordable monthly rent. Also included in the rent are the delicious meals which are prepared by the onsite chef in the warm central dining room where residents can enjoy meal next to a cozy fireplace where friends and family are always welcome to join. Silver Kettle Village also understands just how much pets are a part of the family. Residents are encouraged to share their apartments with their companions in the totally pet friendly building. With all of these wonderful features the Village relieves worries not only for residents but also for family members. “I had the best winter last year because I live three hours away and didn’t have to worry about my mom being alone.” said Linda Frew, whose mother is a resident at the Golden Life location in Kimberley. “I have total peace of mind knowing there is staff on site 24 hours a day, that she has company for dinner every night, and she is being well cared for. But most of all I have peace of mind knowing she is very happy.” No longer should seniors have to worry about shoveling the walkway or what they’ll do should a maintenance emergency befall them. Cold weather is no reason that seniors shouldn’t be free to enjoy the many activities, freedoms, and quality of life. Silver Kettle Village provides just that and much, much more. Open daily; call Silver Kettle Village at (250) 442-0667 for more information or to book a tour.

O
ne of the great things about attending city council meetings and reporting on them is trying to understand the terminology. Part of my job as a reporter here is to take information and boil it down and make it easy to understand and interesting for readers. But I know there are some issues that are easier to understand than others. Anything dealing with engineering, mathematics and science is a little tougher for me. Fortunately, the staff at City Hall are very helpful as are the council members, who also have to have an understanding of the issues in front of them. Of course, that also means understanding the terminology and jargon that’s out there. Obviously, anything to do with building permits and bylaws and variances and such must be properly worded and lawyered up appropriately. But sometimes it gets a little ridiculous. A recent proposal that came up at council not long ago was the issue of whether the city should support the GE-free zone initiative. A good cause, but one that is tough to fully commit to considering how many of our food regulations come from the provincial and federal government. At any rate, the proposal said, ‘We agree, in principle, to support the

On the ball craig lindsay endeavours and initiatives with regards to Grand Forks being a genetically engineered (GE) free zone.’ Another buzz word that has come up is ‘asset management.’ In fact, in a recent brief in the Gazette, we mentioned how he gave a proposal to Asset Management of B.C. about Grand Forks and several upcoming projects. The idea is to make sure the provincial government remembers our area next year when they are doling out grants. Now that’s all great, but isn’t asset management really just how the city budgets their money? If it’s more about planning for the future and that kind of thing, again, that’s great, but shouldn’t this always be a part of council and the budgeting process? Now, how council, and thus the city, allocates money is always an issue. And, certainly, residents have a right to know where and how their tax money is being spent. Councilors are voted on because the public thinks they are doing what’s best for them.
IN BRIEF Annual review of the state of the lake The annual review of the Christina Lake Watershed Management Plan is being held Wednesday, Dec. 4 by the Christina Lake Stewardship Society. Meet with all levels of government, non-profit organizations, professionals and experts, as well as dedicated volunteers who are collectively working to help preserve a most valuable asset—the environment.

Guest speakers will take you from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with discussions of current and upcoming initiatives in the area. Phone 250-447-2504 for more information.

The city is currently spending money to fix the beacons and to provide extra security on the site. “This is a valuable regional resource for the entire boundary,” said Grand Forks Mayor Brian Taylor. “When it’s down, if there was an emergency—it would be big trouble for the person who’s flying in or trying to fly out. “It’s a life-threatening situation at the airport to have those beacons go down. “We’re fixing them as quickly as possible.” Taylor said the city is looking

There are plenty of avenues for citizens to get involved, at various levels. You can write letters to the paper (us), you can call City Hall, you can talk to a councillor. You can attend city council meetings and committee of the whole meetings, both of which give the public time to address council. There are also several opportunities to join council groups such as the recreation commission or arts commission. Finally, you can attend budget meetings and other public meetings where you can hear about how your money is being spent and some input. In Castlegar, city council there voted 6-2 in favour of painting one of the crosswalks rainbow colours in support of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered) community. This seems to be a contentious issue though, with some people thinking it’s a waste of taxpayer money, and that the money would be better spent on helping the Food Bank or fixing roads. What do you think? Should Grand Forks follow suit and paint one of the crosswalks rainbow colours? You can email your answer to the Gazette at editor@grandforksgazette. ca or go online to grandforksgazette.ca and vote on our poll. Craig Lindsay is a reporter with the Grand Forks Gazette.
into new security measures at the beacon site such as putting up fencing. “We’d like to put up fencing and possibly even add cameras,” he said. “We really can’t take the risk of this kind of thing occurring again. We need to get to the bottom of who’s behind the vandalism. “These lights are critical to the safety of the community. Anyone coming in after dark or in case of emergency exits flying out by fixed wing aircraft after dark is impossible without these beacons.”

RDKB gains enviro award
Free WIFI access point on table
STAFF
Community Futures Boundary (CFB) Assistant Manager Sandy Elzinga came before council to present a partnering proposal that might see a free WIFI access point in the village. This follows a similar offer to Greenwood City council last week made by CFB general manager Wendy McCulloch. The CFB board is prepared to pay upfront hardware costs if the municipalities will cover costs for installation, maintenance and subscription fees with an Internet provider. Similar partnerships have already seen WIFI access points installed in Grand Forks and Christina Lake. The east end initiative was spearheaded by Rotary International, with assistance from the Peachland Rotary club president. Elzinga said the village could expect annual costs in the range of $750 to $1,000 but offered that if done creatively through in-kind and by seeking out other partners the costs could be lower. The funding is available until March 31, 2014. Council voted to refer the issue to a later meeting so they could gather more information. — Boundary Creek Times

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary was announced late last week as one of five districts to receive an ElectroRecycle Civic Award in recognition of the District’s achievements in recycling. The awards were given out at the Coast Waste Management (CWMA) conference in Victoria, held Oct. 2325. As a recipient, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) was given the top cash award of $10,000 to use in further building awareness of recycling initiatives in the area. ElectroRecycle is B.C.’s small appliance and power tool recycling
program. The not-for-profit initiative, introduced in 2011 by the Canadian Electrical Stewardship Association, provides an environmentallyfriendly alternative for a variety of household electrical products such as toasters, blenders, irons, sewing machines and electric toothbrushes that would otherwise end up in landfills. There are more than 145 drop-off locations throughout B.C., providing an accessible and convenient recycling option for British Columbians. Per household in 2012, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary residents boasted the highest collection rate of 2.35 kgs. of electrical products.

Kettle River Museum update Kettle River Museum president Tannis Killough, Casey Bot and Jim Reeves spoke to Midway council on Oct. 21 about their plans going forward following council’s Sept. 23 decision to support the museum boards’ request for a $1,500 advance on their 2014 grant. She explained the board of directors had been surprised by the increase in employee source deductions this year—$2,873 in 2013 compared with $681 last season. The museum board has decided to cash in a GIC worth $4,000 in mid-November. Killough also reviewed with council an inventory of physical needs at the museum complex that includes work on the station platform, new roof, floor and steps on the small cabin to the west of the station, repairs to the bunkhouse roof, bunkhouse venting and painting on two sides of the station to address sun-damage. Killough reminded council of a suggestion that had surfaced at a council meeting earlier this year that the village employ a manager who would be responsible for booking bunkhouse rentals. — Boundary Creek Times

Hot cars not hot commodity in WK
critical care donation
greg nesteroff Nelson Star
The West Kootenay-Boundary area is hardly a hotbed of hot cars, according to a database created by The Vancouver Sun. Using information supplied by ICBC, the newspaper put together an interactive map that showed the frequency of auto crime in the province, including all auto thefts, thefts from autos, and vandalism reported to the provincial insurer from 2009-12. As it turns out, stolen car claims in this area are rare: no community recorded double digits in a single year. The highest total was nine in Castlegar in 2009. Last year Grand Forks had 12 auto crimes, with three stolen and one theft from, way below the 17 incidents in 2009, including eight stolen vehicles. Thefts from vehicle claims are similarly uncommon, with less

than a handful in each place per year. Vandalism, however, is a lot more prevalent: Nelson and its immediate area saw 23 cases last year resulting in insurance claims and 19 the previous year. Trail recorded 29 cases in 2009 and 42 cases in 2010, although many were blamed on a single culprit. A 40-year-old man pled guilty to two charges but was suspected in 84 incidents. Grand Forks had
21 over the last four years—eight in 2012— while Rossland only had four incidents in the last four years. Smaller communities, while not immune, see auto crime even less often. Slocan only had two incidents of vandalism over the four years, both recorded in 2010. The ICBC numbers don’t necessarily match what is reported to police departments. Nelson police, for instance, recorded
13 stolen vehicle complaints in 2012, only a few of which resulted in insurance claims. Hardly any thefts from vehicles were on ICBC’s radar, even though police responded to 47 incidents last year, down from 91 in 2010. B.C. has the fourthworst auto theft rate in the country, after the Prairie provinces, with 289 vehicles stolen per 100,000 people compared to 239 per 100,000 Canada-wide.
The Sikh Community of the Kootenay Boundary, in a joint effort from all members, raised $5,100 for the Critical Care Campaign for the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital (KBRH).

Volunteers of the Christina Lake Stewardship Society (CLSS) finished their last Kokanee counts in three of the main spawning streams of the lake on Sept. 18. The CLSS has been doing these enumerations for over a decade, and after the highest counts ever in 2012, the estimated population for 2013 is down. The number of Kokanee within Sutherland Creek declined from 197 to 128, but this is still higher than the count of 11 for 2011. McRae Creek declined from 176 to 38, but it is good to see Kokanee in this creek nevertheless following the flood and failure of this creek in 2006, where none (or very small numbers) were counted from 2006 to 2012. Sandner Creek declined from 15,210 to 12,582, but this is still the second highest number ever counted. The volunteers that got out there noted that there were a lot of dead kokanee within these creeks, and these fish were smaller in size than the

Health care workers in the region will again have to roll up their own sleeves this winter to protect their patients from this year’s strain of influenza. Like last year, these professionals can choose to wear a mask or get vaccinated to ensure they’re not spreading germs to a patient with a weakened immune system. But this year’s potential provincial policy that would mandate this choice will likely come with disciplinary action. “Our authority in B.C. has made it mandatory again this year for all workers to protect themselves and others around that they work with against the flu,” explained Sarah Jones, an Interior Health (IH) public health nurse who works in Trail and Castlegar. “It wasn’t attached with disciplinary action last year but this year they want to enforce it a little more.” Jones said IH has hired human resources mangers to speak with employees about what masks are available and where they can get the flu shot. In addition to educating staff, there is a policy that would require employees to get vaccinated if there was an outbreak in the facility they worked in, or expect exclusion without pay.

previous year. Spawning also occurred earlier this year with counts beginning Aug. 17 and ending Sept. 18. In 2012 the counts began Aug. 22 and ended Sept. 30. Water flow and quality were generally good, and the volunteers had to navigate around slippery logs and deadfall to get their counts. Overall it was a very successful season thanks to Doug Shannon who coordinated this effort and all the other volunteers that donated their time to do this service for Christina Lake. The CLSS would like to extend their sincerest appreciation to these volunteers. There was an underwater video taken of the Kokanee spawning in Sandner Creek which you can check out at the CLSS Interpretive Gallery, and they can answer any questions you might have pertaining to the Kokanee populations in Christina Lake. You can visit the gallery Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or contact them by phone 250-447-2504, or by email clss@shaw.ca.
B.C. isn’t ready to consider a wholesale shift to Internet-base voting in either local or provincial elections, according to a new report from Elections B.C. Chief Electoral Officer Keith Archer released the report last week, warning that even if a host of technical and security issues can be resolved, there is no consistent evidence that voter turnout would be increased. Archer asked the B.C. government in 2011 for authority to conduct pilot projects for electronic voting. The government appointed him to chair an expert panel last year, and its preliminary findings are not encouraging. While there are likely benefits for voters with disabilities or in remote locations, the report concludes that governments should not expect either lower costs or greater participation from voter access via computers and mobile devices. The panel has posted its preliminary report at www.internetvotingpanel.ca and is seeking public comments until Dec. 4. It plans to make recommendations to the government on the next steps in February.

Have you ever wanted to test drive a new life? Well, that’s the question explored by the Rivers’ Edge Theatre Society in their production of the witty and touching romantic comedy Becky’s New Car at the GEM Theatre. The story revolves around Becky Foster—a middle-aged woman with a job in middle management as she questions her middling marriage. The play is directed by Margo Evers, a long-time member of Rivers’ Edge. When she first read the play, Margo was struck by the skillful writing shown by playwright Stephen Dietz. “It is remarkably well-written— smart, engaging and funny.” Dietz uses many theatrical devices to keep his play moving. From the very start, Becky (played by Yvonne Dubreil) engages directly with the audience as she narrates the story. The set is made up of three main areas that never change. Scene changes are signalled by lighting which often forces Becky to race from scene to scene as her life becomes increasingly chaotic. The cast includes Becky’s long-suffering husband played by Gary Smith, her 26-year-old graduate student son played by James Elliott, and her grief-stricken co-worker played by Ted Invictus. The cast is rounded out by Walter, played by Mike Elliott, Ginger, played by Norma Bicknell, and Kenni, played

by both Clorice Metcalfe and Josie Wheaton. When Rivers’ Edge was auditioning for this play, the casting committee was impressed with both Clorice and Josie who they judged to be equally perfect for the role of Kenni, Walter’s daughter. The committee wanted to include them both in the production, so they were invited to share the role—each performing in two of the four performances. As Margo Evers recalled, “When we asked them to share the part, they looked at each other, then looked back

The gauntlet is down for this year’s Kootenay Literary Competition (KLC). Since its beginning as a small competition for Nelson writers, it has expanded to cover the entire Kootenay Boundary region, and offers the winners substantial cash prizes. For adults, there are three writing categories—fiction, creative non-fiction and poetry—with cash prizes for the first and second place entries in each category. For youth, there are two age divisions (1214, and 15-18 years old) with cash prizes for the first, second and third place winners. Submissions will be judged by a panel of writing professionals who will provide feedback and suggestions on the winning work. All the winning entries will be published in the KLC Anthology for 2013. This year’s theme for older youth (15-18 years old) and adults is Refuge. Writers have the freedom to interpret the theme in any way they like, and approach it through any of the genre categories. Younger writers (ages 12-14) have a different challenge, and must incorporate a small selection of keywords into their work to qualify. Detailed rules are available on the KLC website (www.kootenaylitcomp.com). The deadline for submission for this year’s competition is Friday, Jan. 17, 2014 and the gala celebration to announce the winners will be March 14. Questions about the competition can be emailed through the website (www. kootenaylitcomp.com), or directed to Morty Mint at 250-352-7844.

The Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with Community Futures Boundary put on the Small Business and Community Awards show on Oct. 26 at the Grand Forks Curling Rink. More than 100 people jammed into the curling rink to celebrate the best small businesses the region has to offer, and, of course, to mingle and network. There were also plenty of tasty appetizers crafted by Devon Butterfield and served by members of the Grand Forks Secondary School graduating class. “We were excited to see (local Boundary-Similkameen MLA) Linda Larson come and share a bit of what’s going on,” said James Wilson, executive director of the chamber. “It was also great to see a lot of new businesses that we haven’t seen before at the awards come out.” The winner of business of the year was Morrissey Creek Building Supplies. Winner of the service excellence award for a business was Jogas Espresso Café, while Cyndi Zibin was selected for service excellence by an individual. The voting was done by the community primarily through survey monkey and some through mail-in ballot. “It was completely decided by the community this time,” said Wilson. “We had an overwhelming response this year. The most we’ve ever had. So, obviously, we’re on the right track.”

Phoenix Ski Hill reaches out for support
CRAIG LINDSAY
Grand Forks Gazette
With no provincial funding available until August of 2014, Phoenix Mountain Ski Hill is now looking to local government for support to help operate for the upcoming season. Phoenix Mountain operates as a non-profit organization and the Phoenix Mountain Alpine Ski Society cracked open the books for over 100 people at its annual general meeting on Oct. 9. And the view from there was bleak, with the hill facing “a bit of a financial crunch this year,” said Barb Cornelius, administrator at Phoenix Mountain. She said it’s been a long time since Phoenix has been self-supporting and they have relied for the last 13 years on provincial gaming funding—around $47,000 per year. Although the hill hasn’t been denied funding this year, it has been moved into a different application sector, said Cornelius. “It means we won’t be eligible for funding until August of 2014,” she said. “So this season we’ll have to go the whole year without gaming money to supplement us. That’s a big challenge for us.” Cornelius says the society is hoping to be able to get some funding from the City of Grand Forks and the local regional district electoral
areas to help the hill with operating expenses. “Our backs are up against the wall,” she said. “We may need to go to referendum for that. If it comes to that, we really hope the community sees Phoenix as a recreational facility that deserves to be supported and they want to see us carry on into the future.” Phoenix Mountain is also relying on fundraising efforts, including the upcoming Operation Snowflake which asks people for a $50 donation in exchange for a snowflake which is hung in the lodge at the hill. “I think a lot of people in the area understand the situation we’re in and want to see the ski hill carry on, and they’d be willing to pay a little out of pocket to see that happen,” said Cornelius. It’s all downhill from here Phoenix has been around since 1969 offering a local ski opportunity for residents and tourists alike. The ski hill is looking at opening in mid-December, usually when the children are out of school. “We open through the whole school holiday,” said Cornelius. “We close Christmas day, but we’re open every other day. January and February we run Friday through Tuesday. We’re closed Wednesdays and Thursdays. We run the school program up there Mondays and Tuesdays. In March, we go down to just
weekends.” Cornelius says she hopes the community sees the ski hill as being a great recreational facility in the region. All the school kids in the Boundary have an opportunity to go up there and have a lesson and time to ski at a reduced rate, she said. “It introduces a lot of people to skiing that way,” said Cornelius. “It also helps get the parents back into skiing when they go out with their kids. It’s a sport where the whole family can do it together. “Most other sports like hockey or soccer are a spectator sport for the parents. There’s a lot of traveling involved. Phoenix is 20 minutes from town and is inexpensive and the whole can ski together.” Although Phoenix Mountain isn’t as big as hills such as Big White in Kelowna, or Red Mountain Resort in Rossland, Cornelius said they have challenging terrain for all types of skiers. The hill also has a very good ski school for newer skiers. “Everyone who’s just learning should definitely start with a lesson,” she said. “You’ll definitely have a way better time.” The hill also hosts a junior racing team, Phoenix Mountain Racers, which is run by a parents’ group and participates in the Nancy Green Ski Race Series.

Bruins lose on the road CRAIG LINDSAY
Grand Forks Gazette
The Grand Forks Border Bruins lost a tough 2-1 match to the Rebels in Castlegar on Saturday. After a scoreless first period, Chase Reddin gave the Rebs a 1-0 lead at 4:22 of the second period. Veteran defenceman Aaron Brewer put Castlegar up 2-0 at 18:17 of the third. The Bruins got back into the game with a power play marker from Mitch Dolman at 7:57 of the third period, assisted by Cam McLellan and Michael Rand. Unfortunately, Rebels goalie Patrick Zubick kept the barn door shut for the rest of the game, leading Castlegar to the 2-1 win. Grand Forks goalie Dominick Stadnyk was also solid in net with 23 saves on 25 shots. GF is at Beaver Valley Tuesday for a match-up against the Nitehawks. “The guys realized sometimes what’s on the scoreboard doesn’t always reflect what’s happening on the ice,” said Bruins head coach Nick Deschenes.

Maffioli named B.C.’s top golf professional CRAIG LINDSAY
Grand Forks Gazette
A local golf pro has been awarded B.C.’s top golf professional award. Kevin Maffioli, head professional and general manager at Christina Lake Golf Club, received the prestigious award at the PGA of B.C. award show on Oct. 16 in Vancouver. Maffioli was voted as top golf pro by his peers for the Kootenay and Northern B.C. region, his name eventually making the cut and being chosen over the golf pros from Penticton, Shaughnessey in Vancouver and the Victoria Golf Club. The award is an all-encompassing award that takes into consideration several factors, Maffioli said. “It’s for how you run your facility, how your golf course is run, what type of events you run, what you’ve brought into the course in terms of membership, junior golf, teaching, and how you’ve performed over your career.” Maffioli, who has been head pro at Christina Lake for over 18 years, did not know he was going to win the award until the award was announced at the banquet. “I was kind of shocked,” he said. “I had to go up and give a speech. I didn’t think I was going to win. It was great. It’s hard to put it into words because your peers have selected you.” Last year, Maffioli won the favourite golfer award from Golf
West magazine, an award chosen by the golfing public. “They’re both very special,” he said. “We’re obviously serving the public properly and doing a good job for the people golfing. From the professional side of it, from my peers, they think I do a good job. That I give the PGA of B.C. a good name by representing them well every day.” Maffioli is quick to credit the staff at the Christina Lake Golf Course. “You can’t win an award like this without having a really good golf club with the members and a really good staff,” he said. “We have a really good pro shop staff; we have a really good maintenance crew that takes care of the course exceptionally well; we have a great superintendent in Steve Barwick; we have a really good food and beverage department. You can’t win that without having people around you that are really good and to help you move the facility forward.” At peak season, the golf course employs up to 45 people and sees around 38,000 players in the year. Maffioli is also proud of the many junior players that have moved on to play golf at the collegiate level. “We have the sixth-ranked male professional golfer in Canada in world ranking points, Lindsay Reynolds, from Christina Lake,” he said. “He plays on the Asian tour. Our junior program has done well. We have the Western Canadian junior Optimist champ in Kaden Lane. He went

to Los Angeles and finished third in the World Optimist Championship this year.” Along with grooming great golfers, Christina Lake Golf Course runs several high quality tournaments each year. “We run big tournaments here,” he said. “We run the biggest open tournament in B.C. here with 240 players. We have 160 players that come in for the senior mens’ open and 128 players for our ladies’ open. We also host several outside events.”
In recent years, the club has hosted a provincial championship for the mens’ mid-amateur junior championship, juvenile championship, ladies’ championship, ladies’ senior championship, and Pacific Northwest mens’ mid-amateur championship. “Next year we’re hosting the B.C. senior mens’ championships,” said Maffioli. “You have to come to that if you want to go to the national championships.”

Maffioli is proud of how much the club has grown over his 17 years. He said that was one of the main areas that the judges were impressed with. “When I got here we had 26,000 players a year and now we have 38,000 a year,” he said. “We went from 270 members to nearly 500 members. They have a lifetime achievement award and that’s not what it is, but it is judged on how you’ve done over a long period of time and show that you can produce good results. It’s a great tip of the hat to what’s been accomplished here.” Maffioli will now go up against the top golf professionals from each province for the title of Canada’s top golf professional of the year. For the national award presentation, Maffioli will be traveling to Orlando for the PGA of America Golf Show in January. They have an actual Canada Day down there where they make the selection, he said. “I’ve never been,” he said. “I was actually planning on going this year, but now I actually have a reason to go. The B.C. PGA show is great but it’s nothing like this, which is more for all of North America. They have the launch of all the new products like balls and clubs. It’s huge.” Maffioli notes that the course is still open for business. They will be hosting the final wrapup tournament on Nov. 11 with all the proceeds going to the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Quote of the WeeK: After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say “I want to see the manager.” –William S. Burroughs (1914 - 1997) Joke of the Week: A little boy was in a relative’s wedding. As he was coming down the aisle he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd (alternating between bride’s side and groom’s side). While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar. So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR all the way down the aisle. As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit. The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing, and was also near tears by the time he reached the pulpit. When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, “I was being the Ring Bear.”
Being physically active is enjoyable, has huge health benefits and improves quality of life. It not only strengthens the body, but also makes people feel good about themselves. Physical activity reduces stress, strengthens the heart and lungs, increases energy levels, helps maintain and achieve a healthy body weight and the best part of all—it’s something everyone can do anytime and anywhere. It doesn’t mean you need to join a gym and pay the huge membership fees. Make it fun to be active with family and friends with many simple ways to do it every day. Enjoy a daily walk and take the stairs instead of the elevator; spend less time in front of the television or computer and more time outside. Being healthy is not only about being active but it is also important to maintain a healthy diet. The Canada Food Guide is a great guide to follow and, remember, moderation is the key.

Boundary Youth Soccer held their wrap-up on a beautiful sunny day on Saturday, Oct. 19 at Grand Forks Secondary School. Nearly all players showed up and enjoyed a fun day of soccer and hot dogs. “We couldn’t have asked for a better day,” said Tracy Davies, technical director for the Boundary Youth Soccer Association. “We had a great turnout. It was a lot of fun.” The wrap-up tournament concludes almost two months of Saturday play-days alternating between Grand Forks and Christina Lake. “The season went well,” said Davies. “The fall is hard with hockey and school starting so the more kids we have the more teams, the more fun, etc. The tournament almost all players present! Some even came for a few games before birthday parties started. Thank you to all the sponsors for making it a success.”

Momentum developing significant learning supports SUBMITTED
Grand Forks Gazette
It is commonly understood that education, in all its forms, helps to build the necessary foundation for reaching reasonable goals for success both economically and socially. We know that young people today face difficult challenges in their efforts to move beyond home and family to independence and the creation of a fulfilling life. Full time jobs are scarce, post-secondary education is expensive, part time work is generally low paid and the cost of housing and life’s other basics is high. The road, however, is not as steep for some as it is for others, particularly when it comes to education and forming that necessary foundation. Research has shown that for young ones growing up in stable families with economic means, the way forward is less daunting: there is generally someone available to help with homework, there is access to outside tutoring aid; academic learning is augmented by participation in extracurricular activities involving sports, the arts and community involvement. So, what about kids without access to these experiences and supports? Of course, families support the education or their children to the best of their ability but those without
sufficient means must rely almost exclusively upon the conventional education system. To help with access to broader learning activities, government assistance is available in some instances; community agencies and benevolent groups offer help and yet, there is still a gap. Young people fall through the cracks created by shrinking budgets, discouraging wait lists and strict eligibility criteria. When youth fail to reasonably transition to independence, the costs are steep for families, the local community and society as a whole. Much more effort is necessary toward providing rich and comprehensive learning experiences for all the youth in all our communities. Believing that more needs to be done, last spring, four concerned Grand Forks residents got together to come up with some ways they might offer help locally. Over the course of a few meetings, several approaches were explored—most of them expensive propositions for a fledgling group rich with ideas and commitment but cash strapped. Ultimately, the group decided to tap into its own resources to get something going. An idea for a starter programme to help marginalized young folks gain access to specific educational experiences showed some spark and Momentum for Youth was up and about to run.
Administered by Peace Mountain Foundation for Continuous Learning, a small, local, non-profit society, Momentum is essentially a sponsorship program that provides support for the learning endeavours of kids and young adults who don’t qualify for help through other means. As its first fund raising initiative, Momentum offered and continues to offer weekly yoga classes with payment by donation. The start-up funds generated by the kind support of class participants enabled two young ones to attend summer camp this year - an experience they otherwise wouldn’t have had. Currently, in its ongoing fund raising efforts, Momentum is conducting a silent art auction at various venues in downtown Grand Forks. The concern and generosity of local artists, donators, businesses and others is making this event possible. Their support coupled with the involvement and active bidding of the general public will result in creating possibilities for the youth in our community who require help. It’s hoped that the ‘Momentum’ program will develop into a significant learning support that can take its place among other, local resources for young people. In the meantime, it will offer whatever it can because, as the saying goes, from little acorns grow mighty oaks.

Maria Papove
A thoughtful question Where do sinners go? One might be inclined to say “hell.” Another answer is “they go to church.” Christians are sinners. They have weaknesses, wrongful desires, moments of unkindness, etc. They go to church to celebrate the forgiveness they have through Jesus. The forgiven ones, through Jesus, have the gift of heaven. Christians understand the need for God’s love, mercy, and forgiveness. This is the reason church is important. Going to church is not a mark of being superior to others, but a humble acceptance of God’s forgiveness and thankfulness to Him for this gift. It has been said that “a church is a hospital for sinners and not a club for saints.” Ken Schauer is the pastor at Christ Lutheran Church in Grand Forks.

With heavy hearts we announce Mom’s passing and entering eternal peace on Monday, October 21, 2013 at Sunshine Lodge in Grand Forks, B.C. She was predeceased by her father Peter Dergousoff, mother Olga Dergousoff, grandson Gordie Papove and beloved husband Fred Papove. Maria leaves her loving memories to be cherished by her brother Max Dergousoff, her children Allan Papove, Rick (Rhonda) Papove, Steve Papove, Chris (Colette) Papove and Vickie (Steve Weatherby. Maria was very proud of her eight grandchildren Jeremy, Erin, Amy, Sarah, Corey, Curtis, Kendra, Riley as well as six great-grandchildren Ayla, Ryker, Ewan, Paisley, Alexa and Kennedy. Maria had many close friends that she loved spending time with and had many interests and activities that fulfilled her life. One of her loves was her computer which she excelled at and was very proud of being self-taught and was always quick to help others. No service by request. In our memories, now, our hearts forever.

“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting: The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar...” – Wordsworth From our collaborations on the school yearbook at Grand Forks High, to our evenings at the opera in our retirement years, it’s been a gratifying journey. May you now go lightly, and “soave sia il vento...” (“may the breeze be gentle...”)
Your friend, Elaine Makortoff
After a year-long battle with cancer Dawn left family and friends behind and embarked on her next adventure on October 22, 2013 just five days after her 73rd birthday. With her at the time of her death at Penticton Hospital were husband Bob Manahan, her daughter Kelly and grandson Spencer. Dawn was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on October 17, 1940 and came to Grand Forks in 1944 with her mom and dad Stanley and Orma Orris and brother Milton. She remained in Grand Forks for most of her adult life until moving to Taghum, Trail, and Genelle in the West Kootenays, then finally Okanagan Falls where she and Bob resided for the past two years. During much of her life in her hometown Dawn was a hairdresser and accomplished seamstress. Many of her creations included sewing clothes for her daughter and grandkids, creating bunnies and Santas, making many wedding and bridesmaids dresses and costumes for figure skating and drama productions. She also worked in the family owned Grand Forks Gazette for a period of time. Dawn’s love of people was the driving force behind opening up her home to many people over the years, namely many Border Bruins and Japanese Summer School Exchange students. Dawn was also a very involved volunteer, sitting on the Boards of the GF Border Bruins and the GF Figure Skating Club for years. Dawn also Chaired both the Grand Forks 90th and 100th Anniversary celebrations as well as supporting many other community activities. As well as helping others, gardening was also a passion of hers, she would be out in the garden for hours creating tranquil spaces. Her greatest loves though were her grandchildren, they were her pride and joy. Dawn was predeceased by her parents, and grandson Andrew Dean Henniger. Surviving Dawn is her husband Bob, daughter Kelly Henniger of Trail BC, and grandchildren Spencer and Carley Henniger of Trail, B.C. as well as her brother Milton Orris (Ruth Campbell) of Summerland, BC. The funeral service will be held on Saturday Nov. 2nd at 2:30 p.m. at the Summerland Funeral Home Chapel, 13205 Rosedale Ave. followed by a reception at the Summerland Legion Hall. In lieu of flowers a donation may be made in her name to the Moog and Friends Hospice House 1701 Government Street, Penticton B.C. V2A 8J7. Cremains will be interred in Evergreen Cemetery in Grand Forks, in the springtime.

William Arthur (Bill) Campbell William Arthur (Bill) Campbell of Grand Forks, BC, passed away at Ivy House on October 24, 2013, at the age of 90. He will be happy to rejoin Norma, his wife of 69 years, who passed away in September of this year. He is lovingly survived by his son Robin Campbell of Edmonton, AB; his daughter Kathy (Craig) Sprout of Beaumont, AB; grandsons Joshua Sprout of Edmonton, AB and Evan Sprout of Beaumont, AB; and numerous special friends and relatives. Born in Vancouver, BC in August 1923, and raised in Haney, BC, he joined the RCAF during WWII, then became an electrician and worked for the BC Government, retiring to Grand Forks over 30 years ago. A proud member of the Mason’s, a staunch defender of the environment, and a dedicated volunteer wherever he was needed—from the Grand Forks Rural Fire Department when he first moved to the area, to the Red Cross in more recent years—he always enjoyed a cup of coffee and a good chat. Rest in peace, Dad; you will be missed. Cremation has taken place; no funeral by request. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of one’s choice.

Mary Antifaoff Mary Antifaoff was born on February 21, 1922 in the community of, “Krestovom” of the Kootney area to the Doukhobor family of Mikhail and Lisunya Gritchen. Lisunya’s maiden name was Sapriken. Mary was the youngest child born into a family of five children-sisters, Annie, Vera, Tina and Ethel. When she was a young girl, her family moved to the community of Plodorodnde, “Glade” and that’s where she received some of her English education. The Russian Language she learned from family and the community, when at the time people of Doukhobor faith spoke only Russian. She also took some Russian classes in the community of Glade, which was provided by the members. Her Russian school teachers were George Dergousoff and Dimitriy “Jim,” Fofonoff. At an early age Mary attended meeting/Sobraniyes where she learned many traditional Psalms, Hymns and Russian Folk Songs. Mary grew up and was raised in a communal village. For 17 years she lived in the era of the Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood and afterwards she was a member of the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ. From an early age Mary was nurtured by her parents and neighbouring elders to the Doukhobor way of life, where she worked communally in the fields and gardens and helped with family home chores. In her teen years she worked for farmers on vegetable fields, she gathered strawberries in Creston, B.C. and also worked in the fruit orchards in the Kootenay area. From her mother and sisters she learned the art of weaving, knitting, sewing and crocheting. All skills that were necessary throughout her lifetime. During the summer, when there was leisure time Mary with her friends, loved going swimming in the Kootenay River and winter going sleighing down hills on homemade slide equipment. In the beginning of 40’s, Mary met a young man, John Argotoff and in 1914 they were united in marriage. Most of their years together, they lived in the Kootenay area and 8 years in Penticton, B.C. They were blessed with 3 children- Daughters Elise and Grace and son Harold. In Penticton, they worked in the fruit orchards and also Mary worked in a cannery plant and as a cleaning lady in the hotels. After 26 years of marriage, in 1968, John passed away. In the late sixties Mary met Mike Antifaoff of Grand Forks. In 1969, they were married and their life together began in the area of Ruckle Addition. From a previous marriage, Mike had two sons – Micheal and Wayne and a step-daughter Audery. Their family consisted of six children and all were treated as their very own. Though Mike had a steady job, together with Mary they grew a big garden and looked after their yard. Mary was a hospitable person and they always liked to entertain their relatives and friends. In their leisure time, they loved travelling, they visited several Canadian provinces and Western American states. In their elder years, they kept themselves busy looking after their home and garden, attending prayer meetings, other gatherings and funerals. Mary belonged to a U.S.C.C. ladies cooking group and the Psalmist choir. Because of their elder years and declining health, in 2012 they moved into the residence of Silver Kettle, where in April 2013 her husband Mike passed away. Mary continued to live on her own at the same residence. Last week her health worsened and at mid-day October 14th, 2013, with her son Harold by her side, Mary peacefully passed away. She was 91 years of age. She was predeceased by her parents, Mikhail and Lisunya, her first husband, John Argotoff, her sisters – Annie, who died in infancy, Vera Gretchen, Tina Verigin, and Ethel Poznikoff and her husband Mike Antifaoff, with whom she lived 44 years and who passed away just 6 months earlier than her. She is survived by her children, Elsie Carmen from Penticton, Grace and Gaston Parkin from Castlegar, Harold Argotoff from Nanaimo, Micheal with wife Laurel Antifaoff from Oakville, Ont, Wayne with wife Susan Antifaoff from Vancouver and Audrey Baker from Vancouver, nine grandchild, ten great grandchildren and one great, great granddaughter, along with many nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends. Mary took pride in being a member of Doukhobor faith and way of life and always spoke kindly of its heritage. She was a kind and devoted mother and grandmother, a hardworking and peace loving person. She left us all with memories we will hold dear forever. May God accept her soul into His heavenly kingdom and may she rest in peace. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Everett Baker of Grand Forks Funeral Home gffh@shaw.ca.

Encounters With Canada
“Students attended workshops, which dealt with diplomacy and international relations”
SIMONE GENTRY
Encounters with Canada is a chance for our students to meet young people from across the country who share similar interests. GFSS students Anton Strukoff and Maxwell Nicholson seized this opportunity. The experience has nine different sessions students can choose from; Arts & Culture, Canada Remembers, Ecology & Environment, International Affairs, Journalism & Communications, Law, Medicine & Health, Politics in Canada, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Science & Technology, Sports & Fitness, and finally Vimy Ridge – “Canada’s Coming of Age”. Maxwell and Anton attended the fourth week which ran from October 12 to October 19 and was focused on International Affairs. This amazing bilingual experience gave them the opportunity to look into future career choices and meet some Canadians famous in their fields of work. Students attended workshops, dealing with diplomacy and international relations, where they met ambassadors from Greece, Haiti and around the world. While in Ottawa, Maxwell and Anton stayed at the Terry Fox Center, along with the other students there for that week of Encounters Canada. They all went on a tour of the city and its museums; including the National Art Museum, the Civilizations Museum, and the War Museum.
This Week in Sports
TYRA REXIN
The GFSS Senior Girls’ volleyball team played an intense tournament in Kelowna on October 18th and 19th. During this tournament the team learned a lot about the way they work together on and off the court, allowing them to bond more as a team. Kelowna’s “Best of the West” tournament is usually a challenging and exciting tournament for the girls’ volleyball team and it certainly lived up to it’s reputation. Our girls put up the good fight against very skillful teams and played some very close games. They took from this experience many improvements in their playing ability as well as a win in their final game. Go Wolves!
GFSS Senior Girls volleyball players have had a challenging season Coach Argue has had a life long passion for the sport of volleyball. Not only does she continue to be a power house in the GF recreational league she has also volunteered for several years as the Senior girls Volleyball coach.
Anton Strukoff, Jordyn Beaumier and Maxwell Nicholson represent GFSS in the Encounters with Canada program which places students at the nations capital for a week All in all, Anton and Maxwell had a rewarding experience and their reflections of the trip have served to set the tone for the Weekly Howl’s own Jordyn Beaumier who will
be representing GFSS at a second session of Encounters Canada. Jordyn will be leaving on November 2nd for a week focused on Sports & Fitness, have a great trip!
Is it Just Pretend?
ELENA PLOTNIKOFF
Halloween gives you the chance to pretend to be something else for a night, a princess, a zombie, a vampire but this isn’t Halloween town II, you are able to change out of your costumes at the end of the night and go back to being yourself. Certain people; however, are unable to change out of their “costumes” and must live with stigma related to them for life. Those who choose to dress in a Romany (gypsy), Native American, geisha, burqa, or black face costume are practicing casual racism and trivializing cultures. The intent of wearing the costume is irrelevant; it removes symbolic value from clothing. Costume companies are able to make money off of elements of a culture without respect for their historical meaning. One cannot wear pieces of a culture
Volume Four, Number Seven
Often we don’t put a lot of thought into the characters that we mimic with Halloween festivities. We take on roles with reckless abandon ... taking no consideration for the cultural implications of our clumsy choices. and choose to ignore the oppression and struggles attached to it. Those defending their racially and culturally insensitive outfits will claim innocent intentions, insisting that wearing a costume for one night is not a big deal. What we fail to realize is that years of forceful assimilation and degradation that cultures have endured
just to result in someone dressing up as demoralized stereotypes of actual people is a considerable problem. If you are thinking about being a “pow wow princess”, a “gangster”, an “Arab terrorist”, or even an “illegal alien” for Halloween, consider how it might feel to those whose “costumes” can never be removed.
Coach’s Corner – Mrs. Argue Q: What do you enjoy most about coaching? A: Watching the girls improve and seeing them show their love of the sport. Q: How do you feel about your team’s performance so far this year? A: I’ve seen a huge improvement since we started practicing. Q: What challenges will your team face in this season? A: Playing against club teams that have the advantage of practicing year-round. Q: What do you feel makes a successful volleyball team? A: Having commitment, team cohesiveness, and players who are willing to challenge themselves.
Profile of the Week Mathew Mix Grade 9
What is your favorite thing about GFSS? They make an effort to get students involved in public activities. What animal would you be? A tiger, they are awesome What is your favorite sport? Rugby, because I’m going to be joining this year.
