The identity of the Boundary as a tourism destination is now being crafted. The Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce hosted a workshop on Oct. 29 at the Community Futures building in Grand Forks. The workshop began with an overview of Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA), which is one of six tourism regions in B.C. and includes Grand Forks. TOTA is run in partnership with Destination B.C., the former Tourism B.C. The workshop also featured sever-

al brain storming sessions including: What does Boundary Country want to be known for? What are five themes? What are the key images? Speaking at the workshop were Simone Carlysle-Smith, community development specialist, (TOTA), and Kim Cameron, Explorer Quotient (EQ) writer and storyteller. Attending the workshop were a wide range of people from throughout the region. “It’s the rollout for the 10-year regional strategy for the Thompson Okanagan and connecting that regional strategy for communities locally,” said Carlysle-Smith.

Boundless Boundary

James Wilson, executive director for the Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce, thought the workshop was a great event. “We had very good representation from throughout the Boundary,” he said. “We had people coming from Rock Creek to Christina Lake and sharing their knowledge of the Boundary.” Wilson said a large part of the workshop was looking at ways to improve the Boundary Country tourism website and better promote the area to tourists.

Students will be riding in style in one of the three new school buses coming to the Boundary School District, but not until next year. The province has bequeathed the local district with $416,974 in cash to purchase three new school buses as part of its annual fleet renewal program, but the new buses won’t be delivered until next spring. The Boundary School District will purchase three buses that can transport more than 80 students. Using the province’s standard offer pricing model— t h ro u g h the Association of School Transportation Services of B.C.—the school district will be able to take advantage of low pricing and save up to 15 per cent each year in cost, as well as significant administrative and staff time. The school district will also save money in maintenance costs as the new vehicles will replace aging ones, said BoundarySimilkameen MLA Linda Larson. “These new school buses will save the school districts of Boundary … money that can be invested back into the classroom,” she said in a press release.

slippery slope

Bad day for driver, worse day for deer On Saturday, Nov. 2 at 12:04 a.m., RCMP received a report of a driver who had struck a deer on Highway 3 at Whitehall Road. “The vehicle was damaged to the point that it was no longer moveable and had to be towed away from the scene,” said Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. There were no injuries. The driver was a 19-year-old male from Lethbridge who was driving a Ford Escape. Mischief to vehicle At 7:10 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2, RCMP received a complaint about mischief to a vehicle at Christina Lake. The vehicle, which was a 1994 Ford Explorer, was sitting on private property and was uninsured and unlicensed. “The front and side windows of the vehicle were all smashed out,” said Harrison. “We had a suspect in the case and spoke to the suspect, but have not established a case in this matter.” Harrison said that enquiries have been done in the neighbourhood but there was very little evidence left on the scene. Anyone with information in this matter is urged to contact Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288. No shoes, no service RCMP reported that at 11:16 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 3, a homeowner returned to his residence in the Riverside area of Grand Forks to find the doors open and a pair of shoes that were abandoned at the back patio. “The house was checked and nobody was found inside the home,” said Harrison. “Nothing was stolen and nothing was damaged. Although it did appear someone did enter into the house and left their shoes outside the door.” At this point there are no suspects or witnesses. Uneventful Halloween Staff Sgt. Harrison reported that Halloween in Grand Forks was relatively uneventful and safe with no injuries reported. The only item reported was one of kids firing Roman candles at each other. “By the time police got there, they had disappeared,” he said. “There were no reports of injuries due to that foolishness.”

Slippery conditions led to this semi truck jack-knifing and going into the ditch on Spencer Hill just west of Grand Forks early Tuesday morning. According to the driver, who was eastbound, a car was pulled over on the west-bound lane putting chains on. Another car pulled around the stopped car, and went into the oncoming lane as the truck came around the corner heading into Grand Forks. The car swerved out of the way and drove off. The truck swerved and hit the ditch on the west-bound lane and spun around. The truck was towed away at approximately 10 a.m. No injuries were reported.

Abattoir needs concerted effort: Gunner CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The search for organic, local meat products continued as the development of a mobile slaughter unit took a step forward. Andrea Gunner, a poultry farmer from the North Okanagan and an agricultural consultant, spoke to a group of around 25 meat producers, manufacturers, and city officials, about her experience with developing and using a Mobile Slaughter Unit (MSU) in her area. The presentation took place the afternoon of Oct. 28 at Community Futures in Grand Forks and was sponsored by the Boundary Country Livestock Coop. Gunner also spoke later that evening at an open house meeting also at Community Futures.

Attending the afternoon meeting were also dignitaries such as mayor Brian Taylor, regional director Roly Russell, and councilors Bob Kendel and Cher Wyers. “I thought it was really encouraging to see retailers such as Kootenay Co-op (from Nelson) and others,” Taylor said. “I think people are really looking for organic meat products. There’s plenty of opportunity to sell it. It’s just a matter of the agriculture society getting their I’s dotted and their T’s crossed and taking it forward.” Taylor said the society has recognized there are some hurdles to get through, such as how to deal with docking stations and how to deal with the waste. “If they’re able to deal with that it bodes well for the area,” he said. Kendel was also impressed with the

presentation from Gunner. “She’s obviously very knowledgeable in all aspects of these mobile slaughter houses,” he said. “It was great to have her there and explain everything to everybody there. It’s key for everyone to understand how the provincial part of it marries into the local part of it.” Kendel said that one thing that came up was that the organizers need to meet with the regional district to determine how to deal with the waste product. “From what I heard, it’s going to take a very concerted effort from the producers to make it happen,” said Taylor. “There isn’t enough profit in it for them to hire a manager or coordinator for it. It’s a really big project. I really hope the enthusiasm of the producers keeps it going.”

MLA six-month expenses, salaries released by province TIMOTHY SCHAFER Grand Forks Gazette

If you have decided a minimum wage job isn’t in your future and you would instead prefer a six-figure salary, consider provincial politics. As part of the B.C. Legislative Assembly’s ongoing reporting of MLA expenses, information concerning the salaries of individual MLAs, including cabinet ministers, was posted (http://www.leg. bc.ca/mla/remuneration/index.htm) and all 85 politicians are over the $100,000 mark. Effective April 1, 2009, the annual basic compensation each MLA receives is $101,859—established under the Members’ Remuneration and Pensions Act (MRPA).

News tips

In October 2013, additional information on members’ remuneration had been posted to fulfill a commitment made by the all-party Legislative Assembly Management Committee to public disclosure, revealing the amounts paid in the period April 1, 2013 to Sept. 30, 2013. And, although the Kootenay and Boundary MLAs aren’t breaking the bank, they have, understandably, racked up some big travel allowances. Kootenay West MLA Katrine Conroy had racked up $14,575 for the six-month period for travel costs. The NDP Opposition critic for Seniors and Seniors’ Health, the Columbia River Treaty and Columbia Power

had a $6,593 capital city living allowance, with a six-month base compensation of $51,069. The Boundary Similkameen’s Linda Larson Liberal earned a base of $39,069 so far, with a total compensation of $43,799, along with $12,644 in travel costs. The Liberal Party member is the Parliamentary secretary to the minister of Health for Seniors, and a member of the Cabinet Committee on Secure Tomorrow. She is also a member of the Select Standing Committees on Health and Legislative Initiatives. Nelson-Creston NDP MLA Michelle Mungall earned a base six-month compensation of $51,069 in serving as Opposition critic for Social Development. She was also paid

$26,231 for her travel costs and capital city living allowance. Kootenay East’s Bill Bennett (Liberal) received a base compensation of $51,069 with an extra $20,427 in executive salary as the minister of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsible for Core Review. He also chairs the Cabinet Working Group on Core Review. He is a member of the Priorities and Planning Committee, the Environment and Land Use Committee, and the Cabinet Working Group on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). Bennett received a capital city living allowance of $7,189, incurred travel costs of $20,321 and an allowance as chair of the committee for $6,865.

follow the money Since the Members’ Remuneration and Pensions Act came into force in 2007, an MLA’s basic compensation, additional salary and pension plan have been publicly accessible on the Legislative Assembly website. The Act stipulates that basic compensation be adjusted April 1 of each year by the percentage increase of the BC Consumer Price Index. Legislative amendments adopted since 2010 have frozen basic compensation with respect to fiscal years. An MLA who holds a ministerial or parliamentary office receives an additional salary that corresponds to a percentage of the basic compensation. A minister receives 50 per cent of basic compensation, or $50,929.50.

Stand on guard

n Remembrance Day it is appropriate to recall the deeds of generations past, especially those who served in World War II, the deadliest war the world has ever seen. It was the most widespread war in the world’s history, with more than 100 million people, from more than 30 different countries, serving in military units. And it had the greatest civilian death toll, up to 85 million people in its seven-year stretch. The average age of the approximately 100,000 Canadians remaining from those who served in the Second World War is 89. The average age of the nearly 600,000 surviving veterans of the nation’s armed forces is 56. In a poll done for a group that helps Canadian veterans, Commissionaires, it was found that more than 80 per cent of Canadians think primarily of First and Second World War veterans on Remembrance Day. But on Nov. 11 people need to pay tribute to the commitment and sacrifice of all who joined the military, and still join, to shoulder the task of standing on guard for thee.

second opinion

JIM HOlTZ

ou have to love Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. What a guy! Here is a man who relishes adversity. A simple man with a simple message: Less government, lower taxes. Is he overweight and usually dishevelled? Yes. Does he care? No. Appearances mean nothing to him. He is the perfect example of Everyman. Are we not in fact all a little dishevelled and overweight? Does he have substance abuse problems? Who

knows? His brother says no and who would know better than his own brother? Has he shown up under the influence of intoxicating substances at public affairs? Apparently, but haven’t we all been drunk in public and made fools of ourselves on certain occasions? Pictures have appeared showing the good mayor in the presence of alleged criminals and drug dealers, pictures in which he appears happy, even celebratory. But who hasn’t been caught in the embrace of cocaine dealers by some weasely photographer out to persecute us? Aren’t we all just folks? Shouldn’t we all be allowed to have fun with friends of our choosing?

Mayor Ford has been filmed shouting at reporters, screaming and threatening them. He even told Marg Delahunty (comedienne Mary Walsh), Princess Warrior, on This Hour Has 22 Minutes that he was calling 911 if she didn’t quit asking questions and leave him alone. But who hasn’t used Emergency Response to rid ourselves of pesky, predatory paparazzi? Using police, firemen and first responders to harass them is fitting retribution for the incessant infringement of our privacy that they inflict on us. Rob Ford has vowed never to resign but to continue to serve the city as he was elected to do, collecting his

Opinion to the editor

Society needs to let go greed for oil

To the Editor: Bad things are happening in New Brunswick. Some of the dastardly deeds oil companies are doing to extract oil are ruining the planet. The native people peacefully protested what the oil companies were doing in New Brunswick and were hailed with rubber bullets, tear gas and insanity. Some people from Idle No More gathered donations here in Grand Forks today in order to take the trek to meet with those conscious enough to step up. In this solemn moment of awareness we must also step up and bring it to the attention of the Canadian government that it is time to account for the actions of the RMCP in New Brunswick and for what

they are allowing the oil companies to do—and then stop the insanity. This planet belongs to the children and must be looked after in a sane manner. The people who love the environment do not destroy it. Those who destroy the environment need to be stopped. No one needs to suffer—let the wise speak and let those who need to—listen. If it’s all about power, maybe those who are consumed need to redirect it and sing opera, or learn how to save the environment. Perhaps the question we should be posing ourselves is how to run a society where the people who attune themselves to the preservation of the beauty of nature—as well as maintaining optimum organic

healing lifestyles for all. Shouldn’t each household be feeding their compost to their chickens? Why doesn’t someone on every block have a cow to sell milk and cheese to their neighbours? Where do we hitch up our horse and maybe we shouldn’t be polluting the atmosphere and killing our bees. We don’t really need pesticides leeching into our drinking water. Maybe our learning curve will eke out the best options for the individual. Rather than scrunching people into less space maybe people need more space to become self-sufficient. If the greed for oil is killing good people then we need to let it go. Nadine Nevocschonoff, Grand Forks

Sensible BC petition not so sensible

To the Editor: A couple of volunteers were soliciting signatures outside the Grand Forks Post Office on Monday, Oct. 28. They were trying to gather support for a referendum that would see changes to B.C. marijuana laws relating to the arrest and detention of adults in possession of the weed. Called Sensible BC, advocates wish to propose a Sensible Policing Act that would prohibit B.C. police from searching and arresting adults for marijuana possession. In my opinion, their agenda is anything but sensible. Having worked in a provincial correctional centre where I coun-

seled many hundreds of inmates who admitted that marijuana played a pivotal role in their descent into addiction and crime, the notion of reducing penalties and/or legalizing this substance seems utterly nonsensical. Are these people thinking at all about the message that sends our children? Teens say by far the easiest drug to get at school is marijuana. A recent story reported on CBC News graphically described how pot and cocaine are used at increasingly younger ages in schools. This quote from a student says, “You’d usually just walk over to the smoker door and ask, ‘does anyone have some weed?”

Apparently pot is even offered when joining a group of kids smoking cigarettes. Children as young as Grade 7 are starting with marijuana and then quickly graduating to the stronger opiate drugs. One girl bought her first hit of cocaine on her 14th birthday. The article goes on to state that “recent discussions by politicians and the police about the decriminalization of marijuana have also muddied the waters when it comes to dealing with the drugs at school. “Students believe that ‘everyone smokes all the time,’ and as the perceived risk of using marijuana goes down among students, pot use goes up.”

And that’s the slippery slope into addiction that unknowing and unfortunate youth fall down. We adults are to be the gatekeepers for our children, not the ones who open the doors wider for them to fall into a life of addiction and crime. My first-hand experience with inmates is that they, themselves estimate that probably up to 90 per cent of those incarcerated are there because of drugrelated crimes, much of it due to trafficking marijuana and other addictive drugs. Please think long and hard before you sign any petition to change how marijuana is classified and policed in B.C. Beverley Tripp, Grand Forks

Helping students gain independent, critical thinking about technology To the Editor: Jim Holtz (Changing face of education, Gazette, Oct. 15) is unrestrained in his interpretive flourishes related to my op-ed in the Vancouver Sun (Aug. 28). A corrective is in order. Only a fool or charlatan would claim to be visioning a “New Age in education” (or any new age, especially one with upper case letters), but that is precisely what Mr. Holtz suggests is my enterprise. Even more dismaying is the apparent company I keep. I’m lumped in with “futurists” and “technocrats,” no less, although Mr. Holtz also identifies a somewhat more benign group of coconspirators, including “public school trustees and administrators, counselors and education reformers.” All conspirators are, as Mr. Holtz sees it, demanding “educational institutions adapt to the behavioural propensities of modern students.” Even if Mr. Holtz’s claim were reasonably accurate, I would ask, “And what might be the problem here?” Is education monolithic and immutable? Are the “behavioural propensities” of modern students (which I would refer to as “the real social and cultural lives of students”) to be dismissed? I’ll venture that it is the urgent and ongoing responsibility of educators to research, develop, hone, and yes, update, educational approaches that speak to students’ real world concerns, even “behavioural propensities,” and more broadly, to profound societal change that is the context for such “propensities.” Digital media and communication are instructive in education, not contaminants. Mr. Holtz doesn’t appear to recognize an ally when he sees one—like me. This gives me the uncomfortable feeling that I have been set up as his straw man, my actual arguments be damned. I assert that students today are

socialized in a “culture of speed and impatience,” a not at all nuanced critique. Likewise, I state that we “live in an age of tech-obsession” that demands that we “strike a balance between the often inflated promises of technology as a solution to all social and educational challenges, and an ability to address the real technologically saturated world of students.” This can hardly be construed as a celebration of a brave new age (or “New Age”) of techno-education. Mr. Holtz concludes with the strangest of ideas gleaned from sources unknown. He states that my call for ongoing educational revision, digital literacy, critical engagement with the technological environment, and an integration of students’ technologically dominated social and cultural environments (and future work environments, if the truth be told) into the classroom, somehow means that a professor’s lecture, “becomes no more significant than a YouTube photo of Justin Bieber’s monkey or a coed’s Tweet about her last cappuccino at Starbucks.” Apart from the use of the prehistoric “co-ed” (only Playboy magazine still gets away with using this term), Mr. Holtz demonstrates a healthy contempt for the online lives of students. More to the point, he confuses the debris of pop culture with the need for new, informed pedagogical thinking and practices that understand the active and participatory dimensions of digital culture. Do we get cranky and bemoan the ubiquity and massive impact of digital communication and media, or do we work smartly and strategically as educators to develop approaches that help students gain independent, creative, and critical thinking about the technological oxygen they breathe? I choose the latter. Martin Laba, Vancouver

Turner makes business grade

IN BRIEF

Christina Lake resident awarded $5,000 Black Press scholarship

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Anyone who has been to college or university, or sent a child there, knows that post-secondary education is very expensive. Fortunately for Catherine Turner, who is studying business administration at the University of Victoria (UVic), she has received a $5,000 scholarship from Black Press, the Gazette’s parent company. Turner, a Christina Lake resident, was pleased as punch to receive the money, particularly since she did not even have to apply. “I didn’t apply for the scholarship, it’s just given to students,” she said. “I applied for third year business in February. I have a diploma in classical music with a major in voice from Capilano University.” Last year, Turner attended UVic and took prerequisite courses for business administration. Turner attended and graduated from Grand Forks Secondary School and was known as Dar-

by throughout, as her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother are all named Catherine. “We are all Catherine,” she said. “We all go by our middle names. And we are all second born girls.” Turner said the scholarship is awarded to a bachelor of commerce student based on their supplemental application package and academic excellence. “It’s basically a resume outlining your goals and interests and why you want to be in the program,” she said. In her application, Turner also submitted articles about her music performances and other achievements from the Grand Forks Gazette. “I wanted to show what I did volunteer-wise and extra-curricular-wise,” she said. “Plays and fundraising events that I’d done that appeared in the paper.” Each scholarship recipient gets to attend an awards banquet and a reception at Black Press owner David Black’s Vic-

Free

toria house. Unfortunately, Turner was sick at the time with strep throat and was unable to attend. She is, however, very grateful for the scholarship. “It really helps with the tuition,” she said. “And I’m a fan of Black Press papers like the Gazette. I’ve been in it a few times. They cover a lot of the things I’m interested in.” Turner, whose program goes year-round, is expected to graduate in August 2014. In the meantime, she’s enjoying her courses at UVic and looking forward to choosing her specialty soon. “I love UVic,” she said. “I’ve got a couple of work terms coming up which I’m hoping will help me decide what I’m interested in. I was working on accounting and finance before. But I’m undecided. I’m also interested in entrepreneurship. There are a variety of things you can take.” She said the business program is high-pressure and hard work but interesting and enjoyable.

Legion the place to be all year round CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

With Remembrance Day right around the corner, the Grand Forks branch of the Royal Canadian Legion is quite busy these days. Of course, it’s not just November that sees the Legion busy. The club has lots of events and goings-ons all year round. The local legion runs a dinner and dance every second Sunday. They also have a monthly ways and means meeting to discuss fundraising ideas. “It’s a committee that brainstorm ideas,” said Ken Gresley-Jones, vicepresident of the local legion branch. Other regular events at the legion are the monthly executive meeting and the monthly general meeting on the third Monday of every month at 7 p.m. There is a meat draw every Saturday from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. and food is available on those Saturdays that are opposite the Sunday dinners, said Gresley-Jones. Every Tuesday the clubhouse hosts crib, while Wednesdays is poker night. Every Thursday is bingo in the hall at 7:30 p.m. “We’re always looking for new members,” he said. “Anyone who’s interested can drop by the legion, or contact any member of the executive.” Gresley-Jones said the legion has dropped most of the restrictions that were in place before that limited membership to veterans. “There’s very few restrictions now,” he said. “If you believe in our country and what we do, you’re in. At one time it was restricted to past veterans, but there’s just not enough left.” Gresley-Jones said the legion is made up of regular members and affiliate members and all can vote. “There used to be a big distinction of who could vote at meetings and

remembrance day For Remembrance Day, the legion will hold its regular ceremonies with the parade starting at the legion at 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 11 and marching down to the cenotaph at City Hall for the official ceremony, including the laying of the wreaths. At the conclusion of Remembrance Day ceremonies, all are invited to the legion for chili and sandwiches. The legion will also have a short Rembrance Day ceremony at Silver Kettle Village on Nov. 7 at 1:30 p.m. There will also be a ceremony at Hardy View Lodge on Nov. 11 after the regular ceremony.

who couldn’t but there’s very little now,” he said. The legion in Grand Forks has approximately 210 members, estimates Gresley-Jones. The mission of the Royal Canadian Legion is to serve veterans, ex-service personnel, their dependents, the community, and our country. All the regular events help the legion not only support veterans and their families, but also youth in the region. “We support a lot of youth organizations in the community,” said Gresley-Jones. “Over the past few years, we’ve given probably tens of thousands of dollars to youth groups.” One of the major youth groups the legion supports in the local air cadets squadron (see story next page). The legion also has a branch in Greenwood. That group will be holding their Remembrance Day ceremony at the cenotaph by Rock Creek. “They have people from Midway, Greenwood and Rock Creek area gather there every year,” said Gresley-Jones. “The Grand Forks Pipe Band sends some pipers out there for that. So there is an actual service out there every year.”

The legion lounge is open daily from 2:30 p.m. onwards. GresleyJones says the clubhouse has been fixed up in recent years and is quite nice. “It’s a very relaxed atmosphere in there,” he said. “We have young people and old people. We have some people that come certain days. They make that their day and get together in a group. It’s not a rowdy place. It’s been fixed up inside and we’re slowly working on the outside.” Gresley-Jones says they’ve replaced all the old windows and are almost finished painting the outside. “We’ve got most of the outside painted, there’s just a little more to do that we’ll have to wait until Spring to do,” he said. “We’ve got an outdoor fenced horseshoe pit area, and we’ve got permission for an outside beverage area. That’ll be an summer thing, of course.” Gresley-Jones adds that the bathrooms and kitchen has been re-done and look really nice. “The fellow who did the work did an absolutely fabulous job and we’re just thrilled,” he said. Gresley-Jones says the legion building began as a church and was built in the late 1890s.

We enjoy the life we do because of those who gave theirs. Always Remember those who sacrificed so much for peace.

Ode to War STAN HARDER Submitted

Cadets learn life skills CRAIG LINDSAY

Some years ago we visited an elderly widow who had lost her only child on the battle fields of Europe. On this Remembrance Day she was paging through her family photo album and her grief seemed as real as it had been on the first day of her loss. I wrote the following in silent tribute to our dear friend and the thousands of other mothers who would forever bear the burden of their children’s enormous sacrifices so generations following might live as we do now—in freedom, peace and unrivalled prosperity. Ode to War A mother’s heart is crushed with grief Her soul has filled with tears With trembling hands she turns a page One leaf in passing years Her pictures speak a thousand words The child upon her breast Is nestled in her arms once more But in eternal rest There is no pain that life can give To meet this glimpse of hell And those who speak of love of God Ne’er had this tale to tell Her sorrow knows no depth nor height No friend can count the cost One death is cradled in her arms In truth, two souls are lost

The Royal Canadian Air Cadets are as much about learning survival skills as aviation training, although both are important. The current Grand Forks’ 841 (Boundary) Royal Canadian Air Cadets Squadron began in 2004 and is led by Capt. Jim Lewall. There was a previous iteration in both Midway and Grand Forks in the 1980s that disbanded. Currently, there are 22 members in the local Air Cadets ranging in age from 12-17. The squadron members are from Grand Forks and Christina Lake and include three female members. Currently, there are no West Kootenay members but they are welcome. “The purpose of the full program is to help young people with leadership skills and personal development,” said Lewall. Lewall stresses that the program is not recruitment for any branch of the military. “If it is, it is a monumental failure,” he said. “Less than five per cent join uniformed services such as police, fire, ambulance, coast guard, etc. But there is a disproportionate number of cadets that become very successful, especially in the smaller communities. The skills that they learn, such as leadership, the personal development, are things that stand them in really good stead in their later life.” Lewall says the cadet program allows the cadets to take as much responsibility as they are willing to take. “For example, two years ago the Gazette had a picture of a cadet hooking the tow rope up to the tow plane for gliding,” he said. “That cadet was given three take-offs of instruc-

tion and then was left on their own. The instructor was off of the runway about 60 feet away. She was 12 years-old. She had accepted the responsibility and was given it.” Lewall, a former teacher, was recruited for his interest in flying as a pilot at the Grand Forks Airport. “I had no military background,” he said. “I was a high school teacher when I got recruited. That’s what’s kept me there, is seeing the success of the program.” The squadron meets once a week on Tuesdays at the legion to work on parade formations. Lewall says the cadets are taught many different things but the focus is on aviation. “So if it’s survival for example, how would you survive if the aircraft crashes in the woods – what would you do?” he said. “Simple things like building shelters; making fire; and securing water.”

The cadet program goes 10 months of the year. The program is divided into five separate divisions, separated by age. Cadets are also able to apply for summer training. “This last summer, our three female cadets went on a basic survival training exercise where they had to eat grass hoppers or crickets,” he said. “They told me they tasted like peanut butter, but I’m not about to find out.” Lewall said another cadet received his Transport Canada’s pilot’s licence, which was paid for by the cadets through a scholarship. “The focus is on developing the cadet,” he said. “I would love to just be able to come and get a nice cup of tea and watch TV while they run everything. You’d be surprised, actually, how much they are capable or running if you give them that responsibility.” Another recent highlight for the local cadet squadron was a recent trip to Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane. “They took us through all their maintenance and all their facility,” said Lewall. “They got to wander underneath one of the planes. The U.S. Military was really good. They brought out a generator and fired it up. The instrument panel was all alive. The cadets got to walk around outside the aircraft and see all the bits and pieces that hang down and what they do.” On Nov. 11 the cadets will once again be heavily involved in the local Remembrance Day ceremony. “We usually provide two of the guards for the Cenotaph during the service,” said Lewall. “The cadets also help with the laying of the wreaths.”

IN BRIEF

Computer workshops key in at Library

Gaming cash handed out to local groups Over $100,000 was handed out to local groups, and over $130,000 regionally, as the province doled out its annual gaming grants. The biggest winner was the Grand Forks Art Gallery Society, taking home $27,900 in the annual granting program from the ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. Parent advisory committees (PACs) that support extracurricular school activities, including sports, arts, educational camps and class trips, shared locally in the money— and around $12 million province-wide. The funds will help schools make purchases for items such as sports equipment and musical instruments that provide additional opportunities for students to learn and benefit from their school years. Applicants can contact Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch at 250-387-5311 for advice about applications. • Boundary District Parent Advisory Council SD51, $2,500 • Dr. D.A.

Senior’s Lifestyle Community Keeps Winter at Bay

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

city congrats Barb and Hal Wright – Canada 2013

The City of Grand Forks would like to wish our Manager of Operations, Hal Wright, well in his retirement. Hal has been with the City since January 2012 after moving from the City of Edmonton with his wife Barb. Since moving to Grand Forks they built a beautiful home on the Granby River, which is now complete and ready for Hal to settle in to. The City thanks Hal for his contributions to the community while in his role as Manager of Operations.

“I have enjoyed my time with the City of Grand Forks and all the hardworking inside and outside staff. My wife and I are looking forward to many happy years of retirement in Grand Forks adjacent the Granby River.”

Happy Retirement Hal!

There’s nothing like that new car smell. And there is a certain air about Becky’s New Car, the new Rivers’ Edge Theatre Society play which opens Thursday night at the GEM Theatre for a three–day run. The story revolves around Becky Foster—a middleaged 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. 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 coworker 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. Another aspect of this production that is new for Rivers’ Edge is the venue for the play. The GEM Theatre had a stage built about a year ago in order to present a one-man play called Deck. Since then, they have hosted a number of musicians in this new performance space. Becky’s New Car opens on Thursday, Nov. 7 and runs Friday and Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. as well as a matinée on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 1 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available at RHC Insurance, the Grand Forks Gazette and at the door.

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 Classics and Naxos Labels. 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. — Erna Gobbett

Joke of the Week: A game warden stops a poacher walking along the beach and tells him he’s going to fine him for taking lobsters without a permit. The poacher tells the warden the two lobsters in his hands are his pets and he was just taking them for a walk. “Nonsense,” says the game warden. “It’s true, it’s not against the law to walk your pets along the beach, is it?” asks the man. “I send them into the surf for a swim and when I whistle they come back to me.” “I’ve got to see this; show me,” says the game warden. So the man tosses both lobsters into the ocean and the game warden says, “Okay, now let’s hear you whistle for your lobsters to swim back to you.” “Lobsters?” asks the poacher, “What lobsters?”

Phoenix Foundation checks Vital Signs SUBMITTED

For the Grand Forks Gazette

Launching a new Vital Signs project in the next few months, the Phoenix Foundation of the Boundary Communities invites you to join them at their annual community social Thursday, Nov. 14 at gallery 2. The evening of networking, refreshments and sharing demonstrates the foundation’s ties to the community and the organizations that do so much to help so many. Along with presentations from the founding directors, the evening will explore the current strategic vision of the foundation along with launching two new initiatives: Boundary Vital Signs and the 1.8 x 18 campaign. Vital Signs is a community check-up conducted by community foundations across Canada. Each Vital Signs report measures the vitality of its community in key areas, providing the community with critical information that can help set priorities and identify opportunities for action. Local reports Community foundations develop a broad picture of their community using relevant national data and identifying local research on a wide range of subject areas. The Vital Signs report allows foundations to involve their community at every level, from determining the report’s indicators, exploring research sources, and assigning grades. These reports help communities make connections between issues and trends in different areas. The findings are presented in a reader-friendly format that provides a snapshot of quality of life and community vitality. Come on out to enjoy the evening with friends and learn more about the ways the Phoenix Foundation of the Boundary Communities is building a better Boundary on Thursday, Nov. 14 at gallery 2 in Grand Forks (6 p.m.). Admission is by donation, hors d’oeuvres and beverages available along with a cash bar.

healthy environment, grasslands and restoration fun for the kids. Last week two more classes from Perley Elementary School Grade 4/5 class taught by Mrs. Baliko and the Grade 6/7 class taught by Mr. McKinlay, came to help with planting some native sedges, red-osier dogwood and some native bunchgrass grown by Boundary Central Secondary School students. The kids worked well together digging holes, planting and watering each of the plants. Heather Ling with the Christina Lake Stewardship Society taught the kids about riparian areas and some of the wildlife that make it their home. The warmth from the sunshine cer-

tainly helped to make it a fun day for all the students. So far the stduents have planted 5,870 native bunchgrass plugs, some sedges and dogwood. The Wildfire Branch set up a portable water supply for the project to enable watering as we transplant the plants. This project has received financial support from Environment Canada and the B.C. Parks Enhancement Fund. This week the students will be focusing on planting in the riparian area around the oxbow. This will include planting some potted cottonwood, hawthorn and dogwood donated by BC Parks. Planting this large of an area is a lot of work and we need help your help to help

Winter can be dangerous as much as it can be fun.

Here is some important information for parents to become knowledgeable about cold weather dangers for babies and children: First and foremost, always dress your infants and children in layers and proper winter outerwear. Remember that infants and young toddlers are typically not able to tell you if they are cold. Hats and mittens should be worn by infants and young children whenever going outside, even if just for a few minutes. Water-resistant outerwear and footwear is best, because clothing that can get wet will cause children to get colder much faster and increase their risk of frostbite. Keep an eye on your kids, especially infants. If they feel cold to the touch (feel their head or hands) or seem lethargic, they are cold and should be brought inside immediately. Keep outdoor playtime short. Go outside two times in a day for twenty to thirty minutes each time rather than once a day for an hour or longer. ~ taken from www.examiner.com/babyandtoddler Success By 6 supports parents and communities in creating healthy, nurturing environments for our youngest children, so that by age 6, they are physically, socially, and emotionally ready to succeed in school. The goal of Success By 6 is to better the lives of our Boundary area children in our families and enhancing our communities.

Heart, strength and vision Reaching for 1.8 x 18 !

Getting your hands dirty is fun, especially when you know what you are doing is helping the environment. Three classes from Perley Elementary School came out to Boothman’s Oxbow Provincial Park, which is located east of Grand Forks, to help with planting native grasses, sedges and shrubs over the past few weeks. Restoring over two hectares of land by hand is no easy task so the Boundary Invasive Species Society, B.C. Parks, Granby Wilderness Society, Christina Lake Stewardship Society and Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations have teamed up with local schools to make it happen. Mrs. Konar’s Grade 3/4 class from Perley Elementary School came out to help plant over 200 native grass plugs and helped pick up garbage in the park. The old tire they found was a bit tricky to get out, but some of the boys worked together to roll it out. The students learned from Barb Stewart about invasive plants, healthy grasslands and why restoration of some areas was needed. The sunshine made learning about a

scribes the storytelling act as a way of drawing in tourists using stories instead of just listing things to do. “It’s talking about what the experiences are like,” she said. “It’s based more on an emotional appeal rather than a physical ‘here’s what to see and do.’”

IN BRIEF

Aquatic invasive species program a success: CLSS

Selkirk sets up for open house Selkirk College is opening the door of possibility to prospective students. On Wednesday, Nov. 6 Selkirk is hosting an open house at the Castlegar Campus from 4-6:30 p.m. Secondary students from across the West Kootenay and Boundary can come to the campus to explore the more than 60 programs offered. Selkirk College will have representatives from all programs on hand to provide information and answer any questions. Programs from all nine campuses throughout the West Kootenay and Boundary will be featured. Also attending the open house will be admissions officers, financial aid, aboriginal services, counsellors and current Selkirk students who will act as tour guides. There will be interactive and informative displays set up in the Castlegar Campus “pit” for prospective students to browse.

Free customer service course returns “If only I had known how to talk to customers before, I would have been a much better employee.” This is one of the comments made by a graduate of the customer service training program offered by Selkirk College. Now that same 24-hour program is returning to Grand Forks. This entry-level course is designed for those who want to work as a cashier, sales clerk, waiter/waitress or service worker in the tourism, retail or hospitality field. Those who successfully complete the course will receive a completion certificate in customer service—an added advantage in getting hired. Local employers are starting to contact the college looking for people who’ve completed the certificate. Topics include: attitude is everything; communicating effectively, building customer relationships, and the correct way to make change. This free, 24-hour course runs over four days: Friday and Saturday, Nov. 22-23, 29-30. All classes take place at the Grand Forks campus of Selkirk College. It is open to those aged 16 and up. Pre-registration and an intake interview are required before Nov. 21. Call Christy Luke at 250-442-2704, ext 24227 or email: cluke@selkirk.ca.

Atamanenko urges involvement in treaty All individuals and community groups throughout the Columbia Basin should get involved in the public consultation process on the Columbia River Treaty (CRT), says Alex Atamanenko, MP for B.C. Southern Interior. The review team is seeking public input on its public consultation report and its draft recommendation and principles. Copies of the documents, along with information on providing additional input, can be found at http://blog.gov.bc.ca/columbiarivertreaty/files/2012/07/Columbia-River-Treaty-Draft-BCRecommendation.pdf, and at http://blog.gov.bc.ca/columbiarivertreaty/public-consultation-report/. The review team will be holding a public workshop at the Sandman Inn in Castlegar on Thursday, Nov. 7 from 10 a.m. to noon. If you are unable to attend the workshop, an online feedback form can be found at www.cbt.org/lgcommittee, or written comments can be sent to: CRT local governments’ committee, Box 2019, Revelstoke, V0E 2S0. Input must be in by Nov. 15.

For the Grand Forks Gazette

The Aquatic Invasive Species Educational Program offered by the Christina Lake Stewardship Society (CLSS) and the Boundary Invasive Species Society (BISS) was successful in preventing the spread of the dreaded Zebra and Quagga mussels into local waterways. The program involved being present at the Texas Creek Provincial Park boat launch for three days a week throughout the months of July and August to provide watercraft operators with educational materials, and encourage proper techniques to clean, drain, and dry your boat. Those working at the educational booth noted 319 boaters came through the boat launch, with the majority of these being from B.C. On top of that, an additional 1,495 people came through the CLSS Interactive Gallery at the Welcome Centre at Christina Lake to learn about these aquatic invasive species (AIS). Those running the program were surprised at the number of individuals that had not heard about these mussels and the disastrous economical and ecological impacts that they have on a water system, but now these individuals are free to spread the word about these impacts. The CLSS also had five substrate sample stations around the lake to monitor for the zebra and quagga mussels. Upon examination of these traps, no growing mussels were found for the fifth year of this monitoring. These substrate samplers were placed in high-traffic areas like boat launches where these AIS would most likely be released into the lake. This program was not only important to prevent the introduction of the zebra and quagga mussels and other AIS into Christina Lake, but also to prevent the spread of species that we have, like the Eurasian water milfoil and curly leaf pondweed, into other water bodies. Encouraging boaters to remove any plant matter from their watercrafts was a top priority because of this. The voluntary boat inspection component of this program did not take place due to the number of trailers and vehicles parked in the upper parking lot, where the society members were hoping to perform the inspections. This component will hopefully be incorporated into next year’s program, although the educational component will continue throughout the year through the Christina Lake Stewardship Society. If you have any questions or comments about the program, you can contact the Christina Lake Stewardship Society by phone 250-447-2504, or by email clss@ shaw.ca.

Bruins bitten twice in two games CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks Border Bruins had a strong, balanced effort on Saturday night against the Rebels but it wasn’t enough. Despite out-shooting Castlegar 50-37, the Bruins lost 5-4 in overtime. Tucker Brown opened up the scoring for the Bruins at 14:26 of the first period assisted by Max Newton and Cory Munro. The Rebs fought back with three unanswered goals to take a 3-1 lead. Momentum then switched to the home side, as the Bruins scored two straight (Cam McLennan and Jackson Purvis) to tie the game up 3-3 at the end of the very high scoring first period. “It was one of those things where we were carrying the play in the first period—outshooting them, out-playing them—but the bounces weren’t going our way,” said Matt Zamec, Bruins interim head coach. “We got down 3-1 at one point. But the boys responded very well and tied it up before the end of the period.” Veteran winger Diego Bartlett put Castlegar up 4-3 with his second goal of the game at 18:19 of the second period. Newton tied the game up with a power play marker at 10:34 of the second period assisted by Purvis and Nathan Cory. “With a young team, we have a maturing process still at play,” said Zamec. “With our inexperience, it’s seems like we’ve not been coming out as strong in the second period as we do in the first. “We didn’t come out in the

second period like we should have,” he said. “We had them on the ropes and didn’t deliver the knock-out punch when we should. Then we had to come from behind again.” After a scoreless third period, the teams headed to overtime. At 4:12 of the overtime period Seth Schmidt got the game-winner for the Rebels, assisted by Jeremy McNeill and Chase Reddin. Kai McDonald was in net for Grand Forks and stopped 32 of 37 shots. Zamec, who took over from departed coach and general manager Nick Deschenes on Sunday, said the team is still learning how to put teams away. “It’s about knowing how to finish off an opponent when you’re in a position to finish

them off,” said Zamec. Bruins 3, Nitehawks 3 It was the Jackson Purvis show last night (Tuesday) at Beaver Valley, as the high-scoring Bruins’ winger scored all three GF goals including the tying goal with 43 seconds left in the game. The game was the Border Bruins first without Nick Deschenes, who left the team Sunday to take over the Trail Smoke Eaters. Zamec took over behind the bench for Grand Forks for the first time. Purvis scored the first two goals of the game to put Grand Forks up 2-0 against the home town Nitehawks. Michael Bell put BV on the board at 3:06 of the first with a power play marker. Ryan Edwards then scored to tie the game at 2-2 early in the second stanza. Sam Swanson put the Hawks up 3-2 at 17:57 of the third period when he put the puck past GF netminder Kai McDonald. Just as it looked as if the Nitehawks would pick up the win, Purvis scored, assisted by line mate Connor Gross. With no goals in overtime, the game remained a tie. Bear bites • This weekend, the Bruins head out to the East Kootenay for their first big road trip. On Friday, the team plays in Fernie against the always tough Ghostriders. Saturday the Bruins face the Thunder Cats in Creston Valley. • The Bruins are in fourth place in the Neil Murdoch division with a 6-7-2-1 record. • The Bruins top scorer, Jackson Purvis, is tied for seventh in league scoring with 30 points in 16 games including 13 goals.

Community

Time to work on wellness

huge thank you goes to all who helped make the annual Spooky Swim another successful community event, and to the Grand Forks Aquatic staff that put endless amount of time into planning the event. Thank you also goes out to all the volunteers who helped with the activities and also a huge thank you to the local businesses who contributed goodies and supplies for the event. November is Wellness Month at GFREC and the staff would like to invite you check out all the health and wellness opportunities available to you in our community. 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

Pam passed away suddenly at the age of 54 in our home in Midway where she loved, was loved, is still loved and very much missed. Pam was born March 6, 1959 in Chelsea, Massachusetts a daughter to Elbie Bernice (Tina) and David Johnathon Coker. She is predeceased by her father. She is survived by Pat, her loving husband of ten years, her daughter Bettina Gentile (Gary II), her four beautiful grandchildren Cheyenne (Miguel Africa), Gary III, Isabella and Arianna, her mother Tina, sister Debbie (Mark), brothers Billy, Michael and Robby, godson Matthew Scott Tracy as well as many nieces and nephews and countless close friends from coast to coast and beyond. Pam’s life was blessed with the birth of her ﬁrst great-granddaughter Tamia Maria Africa less than a week prior to her death. Pam graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a Bachelor of Arts degree in June 1990. A remembrance of Pam’s life will be held on November 17 at 2 p.m. at the Rock Creek Fairgrounds Pavilion.
