POLICE BRIEFS Rollover on North Fork On Jan. 14 at 9:23 a.m., RCMP received a report of a vehicle going off the road on the right side of North Fork Road. “The driver had a neck injury and was sent to Trail hospital for a CT scan as a precaution,” said Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. The driver, the lone occupant of the vehicle, is a 69-year-old female from Grand Forks. The vehicle rolled over, causing extensive damage. Grader parts stolen On Jan. 15, RCMP received a report from Emcon that someone had stolen headlights, chains and diesel from a 2012 Caterpillar grader that was parked at the Phoenix turnoff. “We have no witnesses or suspects involved in that theft,” said Harrison. “If anyone has any information on that we’d appreciate it.” Also on Jan. 15, thieves stole headlights and diesel from another Emcon Caterpillar grader, this one parked near Danshin Village Road. “Someone decided to go and steal some fuel and some parts from those vehicles,” said Harrison. There were no witnesses or suspects. Anyone with information is urged to call Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Police take toll on the year RCMP release 2013 fatality report for region’s highways CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

West Kootenay Traffic Services, which is a division of the RCMP and patrols the highways from Nelson to Beaverdale to the top of Salmo/Creston, released their annual report for 2013. In 2013, the West Kootenay Traffic Services and West Kootenay Integrated Road Safety Unit had a very busy year. We unfortunately had nine fatalities in the area. Of these nine fatalities, two were alcohol related and two were pedestrian fatalities. The other causal factors were speed, mechanical or distracted driving. Our condolences go out to the families and friends who lost loved ones. Drinking and driving, seatbelt and distracted driving are leading factors in serious or fatal collisions. This year 90 impaired drivers were taken of the road and 120 suspensions were issued in the West Kootenay Boundary area. The units served 1,430 seatbelt tick-

ets and 325 distracted driving charges (cell phone). Drug possession seems to be on the rise with 500 drug seizures. Excessive speed charges, which goes with a seven day seizure of the vehicle, is also on the rise with 63 seizures. The units served over 7,300 violation tickets. “Unfortunately, we increased by three fatalities over last year,” Cpl. John Ferguson said to the Gazette. “However, if you average everything out, we’re averaging 6-10 fatalities a year in the last five years. Which is good, because 10 years ago we were up at 23-25 fatalities each year.” “The West Kootenay Traffic and IRSU units are striving to reduce crashes and injuries to our motoring public by enforcement and education in high crash areas. “We urge all people to slow down, buckle up, stay off the cell phone and get a designated driver. The consequences of an impaired driving charge financially and emotionally on an individual are tremendous.

“Through enforcement, through education, we believe, and other factors such as cars becoming better equipped, through all those and heavy fines we are seeing less and less fatalities,” said Cpl. Ferguson. Cpl. Ferguson said the rise in drug possessions is troubling. He said they’re also seeing a rise in impaired driving even though the number of deaths from impaired is going down. “We’re still getting impaired drivers and we’d love to see that go away,” he said. “I know it’s difficult sometimes to get home with only one taxi in Grand Forks,” said Cpl. Ferguson. “However, the devastation financially if you get an impaired or a roadside prohibition is huge. You can imagine in a place like Grand Forks or Winlaw or Midway to have your driver’s licence taken away for 90 days is a huge loss, not just in inconvenience but you could lose your job, you could lose everything. We’re seeing an improvement but it’s still there.”

Young student gets his political say IN BRIEF

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Christmas holidays are a time for getting together with family and, for some, vacations in warm lands. One young student got an opportunity he’ll not soon forget as he got to travel to Victoria to participate in the B.C. Youth Parliament at the legislature building. Jacob Noseworthy, who attends Walker Development Centre, was one of 90 youth throughout B.C. who were selected for the chance to participate in a mock parliamentary session in the actual legislature. “I had to apply, as well as get nominated by my school,” said Noseworthy, who also had to submit an essay and an application. Noseworthy travelled by himself to Victoria by bus and then ferry. He, and all the parliamentarians, stayed at the prestigious Harbour Towers Hotel. The parliament sessions went for 14 hours per day from Dec. 2731. “We took their (MLAs) seats ourselves and we debated on issues,” he said. “We passed our own legislation which is binding and goes on throughout the year which revolves around our community work and future sessions. We also debated private members resolutions

which anyone could write about worldwide issues, community issues, issues that affect B.C., Canada or anything.” For Noseworthy, who plans on becoming involved in politics, it was a great experience. “I thought it was an amazing opportunity because we actually got to sit in the legislature where our MLAs sit and go through the legislative policy just like they do but we got to debate our own legislation for B.C. Youth Parliament,” he said. Noseworthy came up with a private members resolution on criminalizing cyberbullying although it did

not get debated. “There were 35 resolutions proposed and we only had time to debate three of them,” he said. “But it still went into the journals we all received.” The young parliamentarians also got to hear from some of the MLAs who spoke about the legislative process. The group also got to tour the Lieutenant-Governor’s house. “It was a great experience,” said Noseworthy. “I’d recommend it to anyone. I’m hoping to go back next year.” Next up, Noseworthy plans to attend the regional

youth parliament in Nelson on May 3-5. “It’s for people from ages 14-18 to go to,” he said. “It’s a smaller version of the youth parliament in Victoria. It’s also a stepping stone to get there and into politics as well.” Noseworthy said he’s hoping to get into a career in politics and his experience in Victoria has only bolstered his enthusiasm. “I like the aspect of being able to make changes in your community, your area, and the country as a whole and being able to voice the concerns of the people of your region,” said Noseworthy. More information on B.C. Youth Parliament can be found at www.bcyp.org. The B.C. Youth Parliament is a non-profit, nonpartisan youth service organization run by youth between the ages of 16 and 21. The idea of a youth government dates back over 100 years in Canada. The first in British Columbia, the BC Older Boys’ Parliament was held in January 1924. The first youth premier was Walter S. Owen, who later became the Lieutenant Government of B.C. from 1973 to 1978. Youth parliaments have been run in the province in different formats almost every year since.

Heading for smoke free While smoking rates have steadily declined over the last decades, tobacco still kills more people every year than all illegal drugs, suicides, homicides and car accidents combined. Jan. 19-25 is National Non-Smoking Week and Interior Health wants to remind everyone of the importance of local action to address the leading cause of preventable death and disease in Canada. One of the most effective ways communities can reduce the harm of cigarettes is to limit their use in public areas. Creating smoke-free environments is a great way to improve the health of your community. Smoke-free outdoor spaces are very effective in helping children and youth grow up to be non-smokers. Smoke-free bylaws are not intended to punish those who are dependent on tobacco, but instead to assist smokers to quit and protect people from exposure to second-hand smoke. “There is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke,” said Trish Hill, Tobacco Reduction Coordinator at Interior Health. “By creating smoke-free outdoor spaces, communities make smoking seem less normal, which contributes to lowering smoking rates. This is particularly important for the well-being of children and adolescents because of the message it conveys, namely that inhaling smoke into your lungs is not normal.” “Public support for smoke-free outdoor areas is on the rise,” added Hill. “It’s not surprising since more than 85 per cent of British Columbians don’t use tobacco. In fact, more than 30 communities in B.C., from Vancouver to Kelowna to Sicamous, have enacted restrictions on smoking in parks and on beaches, joining hundreds more across North America.” If you would like to know more about smoke-free living, the Interior Health Tobacco Reduction Team is at www.interiorhealth.ca/ AboutUs/ContactUs.

Increasing costs

n this day and age of increasing costs, one would hope the quality of a service would increase in proportion as well. Residents of Grand Forks will soon be paying more on their monthly power bills, and will also likely be shelling out more for their water usage, after water meters are installed on all city homes later this year. Granted, the two cost increases will be difficult for many to swallow, and will surely further limit the fixed budget and the ability to water at will by some in the city, but the hope is the increase will eventually lead to a more reliable, more efficient water service in the future. Time will tell. Howver, with the electrical rate rise, the hike has more to do with the inflationary cost of doing business than any subsequent increase in the level of service.

Gasping at government ingenuity and courage second opinion JIM HOlTZ

Sometimes the cleverness and ingenuity of governments leaves one gasping for breath. Never was gasping more appropriate than when the Manitoba government made the courageous decision to improve the health of Manitobans by legislating cab drivers into service as post-hospitalization health care workers. This was a brilliant idea, a method of providing an excellent additional service that will cost the province absolutely nothing. What could be better? The problem was that people were being released from hospital and dying before they got through their front doors. This was obviously bad

for the patient and bad for the government. It made it appear as though the patients were being released too early; it made it seem as though the province was more concerned with emptying hospital beds as a cost saving measure than they were about providing adequate care for elderly heart patients. But by passing the Cabbie Quasi-Caregiver (CQC) legislation, the government shows that it truly cares. Instead of forcing the elderly to have fatal heart attacks and strokes in the street, or worse, in the cold, germ ridden confines of a hospital, the Ministry of Health is enabling them to have their final medical emergencies in the comfort of their own homes. And yet for some reason people are complaining. Nurses continue to maintain that the government should provide more nurses, more beds, more funding, while

doctors complain that they are being forced to see too many patients and are under pressure to release them too early from the hospital. If that isn’t enough, the cabbies are complaining that this kind of assistance isn’t their job. They aren’t qualified to provide health care, they say, and they are losing money having to spend time off the meter moving decrepit people all the way to their front door, sometimes up long slights of stairs. No one is giving the government of Manitoba the credit it deserves. Instead of criticizing the program they should hope that it is expanded. Cabbies could be legislated into escorting the mentally ill from the hospital to their front doors as well. Perhaps with Cabbie ParaMental Health Worker(CPMHW) legislation there would be fewer of the mentally ill on our city streets. Once out of sight, the

government would not be wrongfully blamed for inadequate funding for their needs. The homeless problem could be alleviated with similar legislation. If the Cabbie Homes for the Homeless (CHFTH) law was passed, once a homeless person was released from a hospital or rehab centre or shelter or really any government funded facility that had failed to address the homeless person’s needs, a cab could be called to take him or her home. But under this clever legislation, when the cabbie discovered the person was homeless, he would be required under penalty of law to take the person home with him to his own house. Within a few months the homeless problem would be solved! Manitoba, one can only gasp at your ingenuity and courage. Jim Holtz is a Boundarybased writer.

Letters

to the editor

Why are they opposed to labelling? To the Editor: In response to the letter “Tour a great disservice” by Lorne Hepworth, president Croplife Canada, I must inform your readers to his viewpoint on the issue of genetic engineering of food crops. Croplife Canada is, according to the description on their website, “The trade association that represents the manufacturers, distributers and developers of plant science technologies, including plants enhanced through modern breeding.” Croplife Canada’s existence depends on the financial success of biotechnology. That Hepworth says that “the organizers of the anti-GE tour are cherry picking their audiences and choosing who can ask questions and offer commentary” is a bunch of rubbish. He is obviously referring to the article in the Gazette, Dec. 11 by Craig Lindsay, which

gave the impression that Grand Forks councilor Gary Smith was “basically muzzled.” Councilor Smith was given a more reasonable amount of time to ask questions and express his opinions. It is my opinion that the “lies and misinformation” that Hepworth attributes to the anti-GE people have, in fact, been put upon consumers by the biotech industry. For the third time in my letters to the editor I would encourage your readers to read or watch The World According to Monsanto. According to The Western Producer weekly farm paper Nov. 12, 2013, Ted Menzies stepped down on Nov. 7 as MP McLeod (Alberta), and is taking over from Hepworth as president of Croplife Canada, where, the article says, “he will promote farm chemicals and genetically modified seed industries.” He will apparently

be moving to Ottawa. This shows a pattern that is similar to Monsanto, where people in high positions interchange between government and industry lobbyists. And it is my opinion, and that of others, that there is a lot of bad science out there. Food, water and shelter are life’s basic needs, and many of us have taken them for granted. The issues surrounding food are many and complex. We need to keep ourselves informed, and we need to remember that we are what we eat. Good, wholesome food is really an investment in ourselves and our families. And we deserve the right to know what is in our food; genetically engineered foods should be labeled as such. The question is, if GE foods are so great, as organizations like Croplife Canada believes, why are they opposed to labeling? Peter Brown, Grand Forks

Time to weigh local opinion on toxic clouds To the Editor: When I read the letter by Gary Smith, “the door hit me on the way out.” Peer review studies have found assorted pesticide residues, polytoxics and heavy metals pervasive worldwide in most all humans, plants and animals. One could logically suspect the rate on the increase. Peer review studies have also linked such

substances as carcinogens. Social studies have found the general public to be opposed to novel and existing sources of pollution. We’re living in a toxic world and we’re sick of it. Toss some GMO into the environment and see if that helps. Even organic food is now contaminated with pesticides and GMO. Although as you say “what’s done

is done,” there is concern among all people regarding the fate of future generations. The status quo is in jeopardy. Don’t be the dinosaur in the coal mine. Your expertise in the field of pest management and your influential relationship with your clients endow you with valuable opportunities to recommend positive changes in policy. When you make

your complaint to David Suzuki, don’t forget to ask him to comment on the specifics of your pest management strategy. As a city councilor perhaps you could inform the public as well and weigh the local opinion regarding the “toxic clouds,” even though they are championed by the province and peers. S. Ewasyn, Grand Forks

Thumbs down to prejudiced person

Thumbs up to the City of Grand Forks for the lights in the trees on Central Ave. From my house (on Central) I have a view of two of them. They are so cheery. Thumbs down to the persons who put a thumbs up about the noise of the sawmill, or the lack of it. We all know that the noise is as bad as ever and not better, especially the conveyor and the forklifts at night. Thumbs down to the rude and prejudiced person who wrote the huge temper tantrum about the two kind people with two furry family members. You know what, if you were below poverty and had to live like that and be alone I’m sure you would love to have your companion with you by your side. If you were not too good for these kind of people maybe take the time out of your schedule to say hello to these people and you might just might find that they are kind human beings that have just as much right to have a place in this town as you do and to own their cute dogs. And, taxpayer or not, they are still mankind and deserve to be treated equal

and not have a disrespectful, prejudiced person knocking them down. They are not the only people in this town that are less fortunate than you. You have no more right than these two people. How dare you even say what you have said and not give these people a chance to defend themselves. Who cares about panhandling? Is that not better than them being drug dealers and selling drugs to your children? At least it’s an honest living which is more than some people can say in this town. And it’s your own fault for taking “the long way around” to the store, not theirs. Thumbs down to all ice fishermen leaving garbage on the ice such as whiskey bottles, plastic etc. Pick up after yourselves. Would you like to give a thumb up or a thumb down? Email editor@grandforksgazette.ca with Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down as a subject line. We could publish your anonymous submission. Attacks on specific businesses and people will not be published. Editor’s discretion will always be exercised. Please keep it tasteful.

Doing what needs to be done Agricultural Society building a new model for food security in the Boundary region

uckminster Fuller is given credit for saying, “You never change things by fighting the Rousing existing reality. the Rabble To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model ROY RONAGHAN obsolete” Fuller would be pleased with the work of the Grand Forks and Boundary Regional Agricultural Society (GFBRAS) for taking his advice seriously in building a new model for food security in the Boundary region. Their goal is food security. Their primary objective is the provision of nutritious food that is available Boundary country residents at reasonable prices on a sustainable basis. A secondary objective is to develop wide support for the local and regional food production system. What is food security? The definition provided by the Food Security Network of Newfoundland and Labrador would apply most anywhere in Canada. “Food security means that all people at all times have physical & economic access to adequate amounts of nutritious, safe, and culturally appropriate foods, which are produced in an environmentally sustainable and socially just manner, and that people are able to make informed decisions about their food choices. Food security also means that the people who produce the food are able to earn a living wage for their part in the production, marketing and distribution processes. There was a time during the 19th and 20th centuries when food security would not have been an issue. Residents were self-sufficient. They grew their own gardens, maintained orchards and kept milk cows, chickens, turkeys and perhaps a couple pigs. Once their own needs were met they shared what they produced or sold it at modest prices. Rural dwellers across Canada had to be self-sufficient. They knew how to preserve enough food to meet their needs during severe winter months. They knew the art of canning. They knew how to store root crops in root cellars or unheated basements. They knew how to save seeds and rotate crops. They knew that they had to build and maintain nutrient rich soil. The approach to self-sufficiency changed during the 20th Century with the arrival of grocery stores that sold everything imaginable from vegetables to household cleaning products. It wasn’t long after the arrival of the grocery stores that people abandoned their gardens and farmers with smallholdings stopped production when they realized they could not compete with the large suppliers of food products. Fortunately backyard gardens did not disappear completely nor did small specialty farms that continued to operate and sell their produce at “farm gate” outlets or at farmers’ markets. The move to supermarkets as sources of food was seen as progress. If food could be purchased at reasonable prices, why should anyone bother growing their own? That attitude is beginning to change and people are returning to growing gardens to supplement what they can buy. GFBRAS appears determined to change the existing game. The society is working to create a model that has the potential to change the food system in Boundary Country. On Saturday, Jan. 11 more than 40 people gathered for five hours in the Seniors’ Hall in City Park at the GFBRAS sponsored Ideas Into Action! -The Future of Our Food in the Boundary Region to begin developing a model for food security across Boundary Country. A wide range of topics was covered including farm mentorship, garden mentorship, garden adaptability, edible landscapes, food preservation, gardening for all ages, agricultural training for new farmers, marketing farm produce, land-use zoning with food production in mind, creating food production infrastructure and a growers-buyers co-operative. The challenge is a big one and the outcomes far reaching yet the people present appeared eager to take it on. Fuller also said, “The things to do are: the things that need doing, that you see need to be done, and that no one else seems to see need to be done.” GFBRAS is doing what needs to be done.

Buttressing our democracy

Clarifying on the Christmas Hamper Program To the Editor: On behalf of the Community Christmas Hamper Program I wanted to thank your paper for coverage of our events leading up to Christmas. The articles and pictures were most helpful, communicating the timeline and offering people an opportunity to get involved. The Community Christmas Hamper Program is a collaboration of many including community service providers, schools, churches, organizations and community individuals who unite, pooling time resources and funds to provide hampers across the Boundary. I make note of this because the article “Gospel Chapel puts wraps on hampers” printed in the Gazette on Dec. 18 read as though the hampers were solely the work of Gospel Chapel. To clarify, Gospel Chapel gives oversight, administration, contributes to and provides a year-round home for the program, while working alongside the other partner organizations involved. Tammy Battersby, program coordinator, The Community Christmas Hamper

To the Editor: Roy Ronaghan’s column, The great equalizer, lamenting voters’ sloth invited answers to ‘why are you disillusioned?’ and ‘why are you not engaged?’ There are two equalizers that should be compulsory because each is a hallmark of democracy: voting and taxation. Both, fairly applied, mean engagement. An obligatory vote under a form of proportional representation would guarantee presence on every step of the democratic ladder; in cabinet, in committees, plenums, etc. A quarter of the vote equates to a quarter of representation across the board. The deputy prime minister should be from a party other than the prime minister’s. Cooperation and compromise mean more than the relentless betrayals we are witnessing. I have diminishing trust in the party system because parliamentarians become whipped and scripted vassals. A party winning 36 per cent and calling itself a ‘majority government’ is patently wrong. Braying asses and flapping seals on government benches could be comical were they not such a brazen betrayal of the taxpayers who elected them. Societies thrive when caring for citizens (universal health care), schooling its young (universal education), ensuring freedom of movement of people and goods (adequate transportation infrastructure), assuring safe, welllighted places to live in and ensuring huge, untrammeled spaces. It is difficult for me to understand avoiding taxes yet demand public ser-

vices. Such behaviour beggars citizenship. A nation of demeaned citizenship is on the skids; the anthem rings hollow, the flag hangs limp, its institutions compromised, its armed force impotent. Wealth, not consumption, should be the foundation of taxation. It is ridiculous to import the world’s junk—made at pitiful wages in the planet’s most egregious sweat shops. A flat tax—say 30 per cent—should be applied to all gross salaries, wages and so-called compensations to fully support all public services and, combined with royalties, corporate taxes, levies, fines, duties and reasonable user-pay services, to comfortably fund such costs. To develop citizenship let’s guarantee free education to certification, diploma and degree levels; in return for such largesse graduates would be required to perform two years of national service. Not military service; service to the nation. A small token for launching them, debt free, into adulthood. Such service to include a month in each year dedicated to their professional developments and another month in each year given to character building adventure courses. A far more meaningful relationship is developed by two young people on each end of a climbing rope than by sexting each other. The balance of the two years dedicated to volunteer services to their country. Taxation and voting thus made meaningful would, I believe, buttress our democracy. Dave Milton, Grand Forks

Opinion Reconnecting with B.C.’s seniors this month

new year is a great opportunity to share my enthusiasm for my commitment to work hard for British Columbia’s seniors and their families. As Parliamentary Secretary for Seniors, I look forward to continuing to connect with as many British Columbians as I can throughout the province. What better time to reconnect with B.C.’s seniors than in January, Alzheimer Awareness Month. Up to 70,000 British Columbians are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease, or another dementia, and almost 10,000 of those individuals are under the age of 65. These are our friends, family members and our neighbours. Alzheimer’s will eventually impact the thoughts, actions, and feelings of those with the disease and how they react to their environment. These symptoms can sometimes be misunderstood as depression or even as normal signs of aging. Alzheimer Awareness Month is one way we can raise awareness so that families affected by this terrible disease know they are not alone and know where to find help and information. Government is committed to ensuring that those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias have access to early diagnosis,

MLA comment Linda Larson treatment and support. The province’s Dementia Action Plan commits government to supporting community programs, such as the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s First Link Program, which, together with physicians, refers people with dementia and their families to support services as early as possible. Alzheimer’s disease and dementia have a profound impact on the family members who act as caregivers. Front-line community groups work hard with health authorities to continue to improve the services available for individuals caring for loved ones by offering personalized patient care plans and support groups. Raising awareness about available services and the impacts of this disease is critical, especially in rural B.C., to ensure that diagnosed individuals and their families feel supported and encouraged to remain active and engaged in their communities. On Jan. 26, Health Minister

Terry Lake and I will each be attending an Investors Group Walk for Memories held in support of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. These walks take place in 23 communities throughout the province and I’ll be at the walk in Vancouver. Attending the Walk for Memories is a great way to support families in your community who are impacted by dementia. I want to know what is going on with seniors in B.C. and let you know that your voice matters. Beginning in February, I will be sending out a monthly newsletter that will be a part of that ongoing dialogue and a chance for me to share information about B.C. seniors. You are invited to sign up for that newsletter at http://www.newsroom.gov. bc.ca/enews-subscribe.html To learn more about the First Link Program and supports available in your community please visit the Alzheimer Society of B.C. website at: http:// alzheimerbc.org/ To register for the Investors Group Walk for Memories, please visit: www.walkformemories.com today. Linda Larson is the MLA for Boundary-Similkameen and the B.C. Legislature’s Parliamentary secretary.

Letters to

the editor

The benefit of green spaces

To the Editor: I would like to point out that my open letter to city council in regard to water maters was not printed in its entirety (editor’s decision–space limitation). The edited letter omitted some key points that I would like to include in this follow-up. I stressed the real environmental option is not installation of water meters, but promoting and facilitating creation of as many green spaces within our community as possible. Their benefits are well documented and far outweigh the benefits of metering. “Green spaces produce oxygen, sequester carbon, improve air quality, remove contaminants from soil, and improve water quality. They improve water management and erosion control, act as windbreaks, reduce noise pollution, and attract birds and wildlife. Economically they reduce energy costs (cooling and heating), improve property values, and provide municipalities with economic spin-offs from parks, sporting facilities and increased tourism. They are crucial to our lifestyle and provide enormous emotional, mental and physical benefits.” Who can argue with the beauty of a rose garden or the tastefulness of a freshly picked fruit or vegetable or the therapeutic effect of sitting in the shadow of a maple on a hot summer day? The letter also pointed out to council that the same senior government that insists that meters are in place before they consider providing infrastructure grants is the very same government that has for the past 20 years allowed foreign corporations such as Nestles the free and unlimited use of water at its bottling plant in Hope? The same water that is sold back to Canadians—a litre of bottled water costing more than a liter of gasoline. Even now with the new Water Sustainability Act proposed, such corporations will only pay a small annual fee and 85 cents for every 1,000 cubic metres of groundwater. It has been calculated that the Nestle Canada plant in Hope that bottles an estimated 71 million imperial gallons of water for sale annually, would pay about $265. It was suggested if this was appropriate for large foreign corporations, and council insists on installing meters, the same rate might be appropriate for the citizens of Grand Forks.

SPCA continue horse ranch investigation CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The BCSPCA continue to follow up on the case involving what is believed to be a rural Grand Forks horse ranch. The provincial organization seized eight horses and euthanized two others during a raid on the property in early December. “We’re still continuing to gather evidence,” said Shawn Eccles, manager of cruelty investigations for the BCSPCA. “If we have enough evidence to warrant a charge we’ll make recommendation to Crown.” Eccles said that BCSPCA special constables have the ability to ask for a search warrant and remove evidence and put together a case. “If we believe there’s enough evidence to warrant a charge, we’ll put together a report and send it to Crown Council,” he said. “They are the ones who determine whether to proceed with a charge. In this particular case, because we’re dealing with animals we’d be looking at a charge under the Criminal Code of Canada or the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.” Eccles said the BCSPCA has been back to the ranch but he is unable to comment on what they’ve found. “We returned to the property to see if those animals have been cared for,” he said. “At the same time, we are looking if there is an increase in the number of animals. Depending on what we find, we could return with a search warrant as well.” Eccles said that they have up to three years to complete the case but they try to normally finish within three to four months. “It’s just a matter of the resources we have in front of us,” he said. “We have 27 constables and we had over 7,000 calls last year.”

Holdback funding issued to SD51 TIMOTHY SCHAFER Grand Forks Gazette

The school district has received its full complement of funding now that enrolment figures are officially in. School District 51 (Boundary) will receive its $75,758 in hold-back funding based on actual September enrolment numbers. Before the start of every school year, the ministry holds back a portion of the overall funding in case student enrolment is higher than forecast. The holdback funds are then released to school districts as enrolment is counted during the year. The holdback is used as a contingency to fund districts for enrolment greater than the district estimated enrolment and preliminary allocation. Holdback not required for this purpose becomes available for allocation to all districts. Enrollment across the district de-

actual enrolment is lower than district estimated enrolment. The district will also be receiving $279,664 in funding protection. Funding protection is calculated at the September enrolment count only—this supplemental grant is calculated last and ensures that districts do not experience a funding decline of greater than 1.5 per cent compared to the previous year for the September count. The full operating grant from the province for SD51 is $15,275,674 as of September 2013, with basic enrollment funding making up $8,713,113 of that amount. The full operating block, including holdback, must be allocated to districts by June 30 of the current school year. Within its total amount, the district also received $1.3 million for unique student needs, $4.4 million for unique geographic factors and $350,233 million under salary differential.

clined from 1,291.9 school age fulltime-equivalent (FTE) enrollments to 1,262.6, a 2.3 per cent drop. For that, the district received $56,556 under enrollment decline grants. Across the province about $17.8 million will be used to fund higher student enrolment in some districts. Another $31.6 million will be distributed to all districts in the form of a grant recalculation at $60 per schoolage FTE. A further $10.2 million remains in the holdback to address enrolment growth reflected in the February and May counts. Enrolment counts are undertaken for summer, September, February and May. The districts’ preliminary allocations are adjusted after each of the enrolment counts: Sept. 30; February and May. District preliminary allocation will increase if actual enrolment is higher than district estimated enrolment; and consequently decline if

For the past four months, Gazette readers have been fortunate enough to learn about the ongoings at Grand Forks Secondary School by reading the Weekly Howl page every week. The Howl was put together by the students in Jan deHaan’s journalism class: Simone Gentry, Tyra Rexin, Elena Plotnikoff, Jordyn Beaumier and Sabrina White. Unfortunately, it was the last week of the Howl, as the semester ended and the journalism class was finished for another year. The Howl covered all aspects of student life from sports to dances to news. The paper also included weekly profiles of students. Gentry is the editor, Rexin is in charge of sports, Beaumier does lay-out, Plotnikoff is the main writer, and White is the primary photographer. Gentry said each paper starts with a weekly story meeting on Monday morning. “We decide what everyone’s writing about, what sports are going on, thought pieces, any news, if Jordyn wants the layout done differently, what pictures we need,” said Gentry. “We then split up, interview people and do

our own thing.” Gentry said that the students have a lot of freedom to decide what they want to write about. “Mr. deHaan has the final say,” she said. “He helps point us in the direction, but we get to generally pick our own topics. We each do a story per week.” Main writer Plotnikoff said she comes up with her story ideas by talking to classmates and paying attention to what’s going on at school. “It depends on what’s relevant,” said Plotnikoff. “I wrote about vaccines because they were going on at the school the week prior. Whatever I feel I can write something good about. I’d

pick something and talk it over with Mr. deHaan and he would point me in the right direction.” A member of the senior girls basketball and volleyball teams, Rexin was a natural fit for the sports writer position. “Mr. McKaig (GFSS athletic director) tells me when the games are and I write about the scores and how the games went,” she said. “I also write about upcoming games and put together a calendar.” The students usually write their stories using the computers at school during class time, except for Rexin. “For me with the sports, I usually write at home because a lot of the games are on the weekend and at night

and I have to have it done for Monday,” she said. After finishing off the stories, Gentry, with the help of Mr. deHaan, edits each story. “He finds a lot more things than me,” admits Gentry. “I remember a few things from English that are different than with papers like spacing and stuff. He had to teach us that at the beginning. I argued with him a little bit over that.” The journalism class uses Adobe InDesign to put together the lay-out for the Weekly Howl, the same program the Gazette uses. “They send the stories to me and I decide where it goes,” said Beaumier.

White is the main photographer and she covers most of the major events at the school. “When we have our meeting, we discuss what we’re going to be writing about,” she said. “I try to come up with relevant photos for what they’re writing about. One time, Elena was writing about how students have to wait outside the gas station because they’re afraid kids will steal. “So Mr. deHaan and I came up with this idea of having a handbag with some students putting pop and candy in the bag. So I try to come up with cool, little photo ideas that are relevant.”

Volume Four, Number Seventeen

Goodbye, До свидания, Au Revoir

“It’s been a great opportunity as students for us to connect with the community” SIMONE GENTRY Well, we’re done. It saddens me to say it but our time here with the Weekly Howl is up. You’ve had the opportunity to get to know and love us - the staff of Volume Four, through our work and passion for this paper. It’s been a great opportunity as students for us to connect with the community. This building, where the youth of Grand Forks spends so much of our time, is a mystery to the outside world. You, the public, our readers, “the community” drive by every day but all you see is a building. A lot of you probably have no idea what goes on behind these doors. Having the opportunity to publicize ourselves and find a voice in the community has been spectacular. As writers; and representatives of the student body in the eyes of the town, it’s important that we remain unbiased by our own beliefs. “A news sense is really a sense of what is important, what is vital, what has color and life - what people are interested in. That’s journalism.” says Burton Rascoe. We have given you a glimpse of GFSS from the hidden perspective of its students, and all with only one hideous typo! Our thanks to Della at the Gazette and the publisher for such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You rock! As F. Scott Fitzgerald said “you don’t write because you want to say something; you write because you’ve got something to say

Enthusiasm has been the hallmark of Weekly Howl production from week to week. Sabrina, Jordyn, Elena, Tyra and Simone want to thank our readership for all of the positive feed back that the Howl has received. It has been a rewarding experience. ” Elena’s though provoking words have proven this, letting you see things from a different angle ... offering the students’ insight on controversial topics such as “The Modern Day Self Portrait”, Ethnic Halloween costumes, and

Gay Rights. You’ve read Tyra’s in depth articles covering GFSS sports at their best, as well as her exclusive interviews with some of our coaches. Sabrina has been your eyes. Through her expert photography, you’ve experienced

A Fond Farewell

ELENA PLOTNIKOFF

Writing for the Weekly Howl has been an unparalleled experience for me. Being in this class has given me a chance to have my voice heard, to work as a team with some really wonderful ladies, and to learn more about the realities of journalism. I have a lot of thoughts and opinions but never the freedom to explore and present them in a manner like this. Writing for an actual publication meant that I could develop my ideas, research them, and finally format them into an article that properly represented the facts. I am so thankful for the kind feedback my articles have received from the community. I was very nervous to put my writing out into the public where anyone could read and judge what I had to say. I am very thankful for the sup port from my family especially my Uncle Mel for offering quotes

the highlights of the last semester. As for Jordyn, you’ve seen her in every aspect of the paper, she pulls together the finished product; giving you the beautiful Weekly Howl layout. It’s been our pleasure writing for you. Peace Out guys!

This Week in Sports TYRA REXIN

The Junior Girls basketball team held a tournament at GFSS on Friday and Saturday, January 10th and 11th. The Juniors played their first game against BCSS and finished with an amazing 47-8 win. In addition to BCSS, the Junior Girls welcomed Oliver and Mt. Sentinel to their tournament. The Wolves placed 3rd overall and played some impressive games over the course of the weekend. The Junior Boys headed to Summerland on January 10th for a tournament and played games against both Summerland and Penticton. Unfortunately the boys did not win any games in this tournament but played extremely hard and put in their best effort. In an unfortunate turn of events, the Senior Girls basketball team will not be playing any more games this season. Multiple players have been injured and unable to finish the season, therefore the girls have had to call it quits. Although it is disappointing, the girls will continue to practice their skills up and look forward to a great season next year! It has been a pleasure to be a part of the Weekly Howl for this semester and I would like to say thank-you to all the readers who have given positive feedback or just simply enjoyed reading our articles each week. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to have my voice heard in the community and it has been exciting to keep the public updated on the sports events at GFSS. Thank you for reading!

GOOD LUCK WOLVES!!

Profile of the Week Not only has the community reacted favorably to the Weekly Howl, GFSS students look forward to picking up the Gazette and reading their Howl which I was never actually able to incorporate into my article. However, it was the feedback from the community that was both completely unexpected and incredibly encouraging. Looking back on the work that this class put out, I am really proud. This group of five with only a writing background of English class managed to pull together our own little version of a paper each

week. In the end, I think, we produced something that we could take pride in. Through all the writer’s block, the word counts, and the deadlines we did our job to the best of our ability and now it is time to say goodbye. I would like to thank our teacher, Mr.deHaan for guiding us in the way I imagine a real editor would, by driving us all insane and to the Grand Forks Gazette for making this publication possible.

Young children can certainly learn letters and numbers, but to sit kids down and ‘teach’ them may not be the best way to do it. Children learn best through doing the kinds of activities they find interesting – storytime, talking to adults about things that interest them or playing with blocks.

success by 6

To help kids learn language and strengthen pre-reading skills, for instance, adults might play rhyming games and let kids tell stories. Children need to be imaginative and to socialize –that’s what fosters creative, well-rounded people. Taken from www.parents.com 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.

Success by 6® is a locally based initiative in partnership with:

All the girls said they enjoyed the experience and are glad they took the class. “I learned about the business of making a newspaper,” said Plotnikoff. “It’s a different form of writing than what we normally do. You’re utilizing some of the same skills but you’re presenting it to a different audience than you would, say, for an English class. Our class was an interesting opportunity to express my opinion in a way that reached the public in a number of topics that mattered to not only me but teenagers in general.” Rexin learned that being a journalist is time consuming and requires a great deal of dedication. “I learned a lot about how you have to put in a lot of time outside of class time to talk to the right kind of people and get the right kind of information,” she said. “You have to make sure everything is accurate or people will get upset. As Elaine said, it’s a different writing style. It’s interesting to talk about sports, which is what I like. It’s nice to have all the information first before other people do.” Rexin plans to go to university next year in either Calgary or Toronto and possibly take journalism.

“I want to be a writer,” she said. “I want to go to either the University of Calgary or the University of Toronto and major in English and see where that takes me.” Plotnikoff would also like to continue on in the writing field. “I don’t know if journalism’s in my future,” she said. “But I feel like writing will be in one form or another so learning the skills was important so I can apply them to different aspects of life.” White says taking photos for the paper is a lot different than just taking photos for fun. “It’s a lot different than just going out and having a subject to take,” she said. “It’s more about getting people interested and drawn into the article as opposed to just a tree or something. It has to be interesting.” White was also glad to have the opportunity to meet different students through the profile of the week. “It really got me out there to know people from different grades,” she said. “I’m really interested in photography. What I’d like to do after high school is travel the world and take photos wherever I go.” Beaumier, the only Grade 11 in the class, enjoyed working with her journalism classmates. “It’s really interesting to work with different kinds of

Workshop explores partnership building SUBMITTED

To the Grand Forks Gazette

Boundary Region community organizations will be gathering on Thursday, Feb. 20 for a day of partnership building and action planning sponsored by Community Futures Boundary and SPARC BC (the Social Planning and Research Council of BC). The day-long event, entitled Strengthening Partnerships for Community Development: A Day of Skill Building, Discussion and Action Planning, is aimed at supporting the development of effective partnerships and collaboration both regionally and within individual communities. “Working together to de-

velop solutions to community problems can produce great opportunities as well as significant challenges,” said Sandy Elzinga, spokesperson for Community Futures Boundary. “This workshop has been developed to help our organization and others understand the basic principles of developing effective collaboration to address community issues.” The session will take place at Community Futures Boundary, 1647 Central Ave., Grand Forks. Pre-registration is required, as seating is limited. For more information and registration for the workshop please contact Community Futures Boundary at 250-4422722.

people,” she said. “Using InDesign was very new to me. Mr. deHaan taught us and now I know how. It was cool getting to lay it out and then seeing it in the newspaper.” Gentry also enjoyed working with her classmates, saying she wouldn’t likely normally hang out with them. “It’s been cool working with everyone and getting to represent the students,” she said. “We don’t normally get a voice in the community. We do a little bit in the school. Everyone seems to have noticed us a lot more. A lot of people have said the paper is cool and it’s good that we’re doing it.” Gentry said she likes writing but is more interested in art. She is hoping to go Emily Carr Art Institute in Vancouver, but may go to Nelson first. Overall, the students enjoyed working together to finish off the paper. They also were able to work independently to complete their own individual projects. “We worked a lot on our own,” said Beaumier. “On Mondays we talked about the stories and photos we wanted and how the lay-out would be.” “Communication was definitely important,” said Rexin. “How many words we needed for a story or what picture we needed with what story.”

IN BRIEF Record flu season Health-care workers across the province have vaccinated a record number of British Columbians against this year’s flu, as nearly 1.4 million British Columbians have rolled up their sleeves to protect themselves. Despite ordering 1.401 million doses of influenza vaccine, the unprecedented demand for the vaccine means that there is the likelihood that B.C. will experience temporary gaps in influenza supply and availability. As a result of these efforts, B.C. is expecting about 5,000 more doses to arrive during the week of Jan. 21 and another 3,000 doses during the week of Jan. 28, and the province has requested another 13,000 doses. These vaccines will be available to eligible persons in all regions of the province.

Boundary Dog Sled Classics set to howl this weekend JIM HOLTZ

Grand Forks Gazette

Final preparations are being made for the inaugural Boundary Dog Sled Classics (BDSC) sprint races this weekend at Jewel Lake. Race organizer and event veterinarian Ruth Sims said the trail looks good in spite of the warm temperatures and the infrastructure is in place for a successful event. “Sprint racers from all over the northwest will be bringing their two-, four- and six-dog teams to Jewel Lake to compete for the $10,000 in total prize money,” Sims said. She named Dina Lund from Conconully, Wash., and Linda Pierce who will be coming after competing last weekend in the Darby Dog

Derby in Seeley Lake, Wash. She said in addition to several more from Washington, there are three confirmed entrants from Oregon, two from Didsbury, Alta., and local musher Al Magaw from Salmo. “The Rosebud Run sprint races are held at Didsbury in early December each year,” Sims added. “Three experienced mushers who ran it this year are coming to Jewel Lake to race with us: Colin Emerson, Rob Fradette and Cranbrook’s Brenda Birrell.” Sims said more mushers are confirming every day. There will be lots of competition as many mushers will be competing in more than one race category. “There are five race categories,” she said, “three-dog,

four-dog, six-dog, purebred four-dog and two-dog skijoring. Mushers will often compete in two or three race categories, running different dogs in each race.” Multiple starts for mushers are possible because of the 45-minute length of time allocated for each race category. The average actual racing time for a team will be 15-20 minutes in any single race, so there will be lots of action at the staging area around the start/ﬁnish line. The race schedule on both Saturday and Sunday is: 10:30 a.m. three-dog race starts; 11:15 a.m. four-dog purebred race starts; 12 p.m. four-dog open race starts; 12:45 p.m. six-dog race starts; 1:30 p.m. two-dog skijoring

starts. “Our race marshall is David Smallwood from outside of La Ronge, Sask,” Sims said. “He has been race marshall at the Canadian Challenge (dog sled race) as well as raced it several times.” The race site will be open for competitors at 8:30 a.m. both days, with public parking opening at 10 a.m. and the ﬁrst race starting at 10:30 a.m. Spectators are welcome. The best viewing area is at the start/ﬁnish line which is accessible from the junction of Jewel Lake Road and Eholt Road just before the Jewel Lake Resort entrance.

On behalf of the City of Grand Forks, Grand Forks Credit Union, Boundary Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the Grand Forks Gazette, all the participating merchants and our community, we thank you for shopping locally and making this year’s $2014 in 2014 a resounding success! There were 26 Semi-finalists. The Grand Prize Draw was held on Jan. 15 at 5:30 p.m. at the Grand Forks Gazette and Studio A. This year’s winner is Gail Russell. Congratulations Gail from the sponsors and all the participating merchants. Shopping locally helps stimulate our community and benefits everyone! Gail Russel of Christina Lake, shown here with her son and grandchildren, will be taken shopping this week where she will spend her $2014 in 2014 seconds at participating businesses.

R E N IN

Contestants look on, hoping that their name won’t be drawn. James Wilson (Boundary Regional Chamber of Commerce) draws the first name out of the bucket in the reverse draw. Chuck Bennett (Black Press regional publisher) was the MC for the event.

Suspense mounts as the last few semi-finalists wait for the next name to be drawn.

As each contestant’s name is drawn, they would select the next name for elimination.

Bruins earn split against top clubs CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Border Bruins took on the top two teams in the KIJHL at home on the weekend and came away with a split. Not a bad outing, considering the team is just getting back to midseason form after a number of injuries. On Friday, the Bruins bounced back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat the first place Nelson Leafs, while Sunday afternoon saw Grand Forks fall to the red hot Beaver Valley Nitehawks 5-2 at Jack Goddard Memorial Arena. Against Nelson, the Leafs pulled out to an early 2-0 lead on goals from Travis Wellman and Brandon Sookro but the Bruins didn’t give up. The home team scored four unanswered in the second period to take a commanding 4-2 lead and then added one in the third to put the game away. “After the first period I just called a spade a spade and said, ‘Guys, that’s a boring period of hockey. We’re not even playing our best hockey and we’re in this game with Nelson. Let’s rev it up and show them what we can do,’” said Bruins head coach Kevin Flather. Leading the way for Grand Forks were Jackson Purvis and Connor Gross, who scored a pair of goals each and added a pair of assists each. Max Newton added a single marker. Dominic Stadnyk was solid in between the pipes for GF stopping 45 of 47 shots.

“He played really well,” said Flather. “He really shut the door. He was a little lackadaisical at the start but then he turned it around. He’s back to where he left off and that’s what we need from him if we’re going to have a deep run down the stretch here.” On Sunday against Beaver Valley, Grand Forks found themselves down 4-0 early in the second after giving up two power play goals and a short handed goal. The Bruins fought back with a short-handed goal of their own by Tucker Brown, assisted by Coleton Dawson and Cam McLennan, at the 12 minute mark of the second period, and a power play marker from Michael Rand, assisted by Mitch Dolman and McLennan at 2:56 of the second. Braden Fuller put BV up 6-2 with a power play goal seven seconds into the third period. After GF captain Jackson Purvis was run by a Nitehawk player, a donnybrook ensued with Corey Munro of the Bruins taking on BV tough guy Jacob Boyczuk. “That’s twice now they’ve taken out Purvis and cheapshotted him,” said Flather. “If they think they’re going to do that, they’ve underestimated us. We maxed out on our fights. Munro beats up the toughest guy in the league (Boyczuk). Our boys went bananas.” After the fight, GF responded with three straight goals (Graham Watkins, Lincoln

Lane and Tucker Brown) to cut the ‘Hawks lead to one. Unfortunately, veteran BV forward Dallas Calvin scored a power play marker at 1:56 of the third, his third of the game, to put the Bruins away. Kai McDonald played the first 25:52 of the game, letting in four goals in 24 shots. Stadnyk came in and made 26 saves out of 29. Flather was very pleased with the team’s effort throughout the weekend. “We just went stride for stride with, in my opinion, the top team in the league, Beaver Valley, and beat the number one team statistically in the league in Nelson,” he said. On Wednesday, the Border Bruins host the Osoyoos Coyotes in a rare mid-week game. The game was originally scheduled for Midway but has been moved to Grand Forks and the Jack Goddard Memorial Arena. On the weekend, GF travels to Nelson for a rematch with the Leafs in the confines of the Nelson Community Centre. Saturday sees the Bears heading South to face Spokane in a crucial game. Grand Forks is currently four points back of the Braves. Bear bits: Connor Gross leads the Bruins in scoring with 58 points including 25 goals in 38 games. Jackson Purvis, who’s second in team scoring with 49 points in 25 games, was selected for the KIJHL’s who’s hot website profile after scoring five goals and 10 assists in the last six games.

Jr. Wolves move one game over .500

Wednesday,January January22, 22,2014 2014 Grand GrandForks ForksGazette Gazette Wednesday,

Wolves fall short against Trail

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

After winning only one game last year, the Grand Forks Secondary School junior girls basketball team was hoping to improve on that this year. Halfway through the season, the Wolves have a solid winning record with six wins and five losses. The team finished second place at the Osoyoos tournament on the weekend, winning two of three games. “We did really good,” said Grade 9 guard Riley Steinbach. “We played really well as a team. GFSS opened up against Barriere and, after a slow start, pulled out a 34-12 win led by eight points from Keyra Stoochnoff. Player of the game went to Kristin Dergalo. “It was close at the start but we pulled away,” said Steinbach. “We were running our plays and getting better shots.” “Our second half was much better,” added Nicole Nuyten, a Grade 10 wing player. “We played much better defence.” The Wolves’ only loss came in their second game when they fell 43-28 against the host Rattlers from Osoyoos. “The Osoyoos team was hard,” said Steinbach. “They had good defence. They had a really good press. They shot the ball very well. We weren’t squaring up, and didn’t shoot well.” Steinbach said the team played better in the second half in their games. “We just get more into it in the second half,” she said. Stoochnoff led once again with 10 points for GFSS against Osoyoos. Alaina Condruk picked up player of the game honours. In their final game, GFSS beat Boundary Central of Midway 43-15, led by 13 points from Chloe Skerritt. Player of the game Charity Starchuk added eight. “We made really good passes and played as a team,” said Steinbach.

Grand Forks junior girls basketball team got off to a slow start, falling behind by eight points in the first quarter of their game Wednesday against J.L. Crowe of Trail. Unfortunately, the Wolves couldn’t recover and fell 3523 despite a strong fourth quarter. “We struggled early against their pressure,” said coach Craig Lindsay. “They’ve got a pretty good, speedy team. They’re very aggressive, particularly on defence. With all the Rossland kids coming over, they’ve got a big pool to choose from. But we still should’ve competed better.” GFSS showed signs of life in the second half as they cut a 16-point deficit to 10 with some timely steals on the press. “It was definitely one of our better jobs of running our zone press,” said Lindsay. “We were able to force some turnovers and get some easy baskets. We were also able to get into our offence and make some better passes.” Lindsay said the team struggled early to run the offence and make good passes. “When we did get the ball inside, we missed easy shot after easy shot,” he added. “But we looked much stronger in the fourth quarter but it was too little, too late.” — Grand Forks Gazette staff

Phoenix Mtn. opens runs for new season CRAIG LINDSAY

Despite a lack of fresh snow in the past week or so, Phoenix Mountain is definitely open for business. The smaller ski hill, about 30 minutes outside of Grand Forks, and is ideally suited for families and beginning skiers but can also challenge more seasoned skiers. The ski hill is operated by the Phoenix Mountain Alpine Ski Society (PMASS), a non-profit society with a board of directors. The Gazette sat down recently with manager Chris Nason to ask about the state of the hill. Gazette: Is the mountain open? What are the hours? Nason: We are open and our hours at the moment are Friday-Tuesday from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. We have night skiing on Jan. 25, Feb. 22 and March 8 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Gazette: How are things at the hill? Are you getting a lot of people out? Nason: Things are good considering the lower snow year that we are having. We saw a slightly lower number of guests over the Christmas season. Gazette: Who mostly uses the mountain? Nason: For usage, we see a pretty wide range of abilities, stages of life and other factors. The main joining characteristic of our patrons are that they are all locals from RDKB Area D, Area E, Christina Lake, Greenwood and Grand

6785- -19th 19thSt., St.,Grand GrandForks Forks 6785 tomkat4@telus.net tomkat4@telus.net

Forks. Gazette: What are the conditions? What can people expect? Nason: With the lack of snow, our conditions tend to be groomed snow, with slightly hardened off-piste zones. It is a bit unfortunate, obviously, we are hoping for more snow. Gazette: Do you have any good deals? Nason: Phoenix is always a good deal. We keep our lift ticket prices as low as we can possibly go. An adult has access to our entire hill for five hours for just $37. But we also have free Saturday night skiing sponsored by various local businesses. This year, Feb. 9-10 are free ski days as well for Family Day weekend. Gazette: Has the ski hill expanded? Nason: The ski hill itself did not expand per se, though our controlled recreation area (CRA) or the land over with PMASS presides was expanded. This means that in the future, given good growth of the business, and sufficient money, we can expand the ski area. Gazette: How is the funding going?

Are you making enough to keep the ski hill going? Nason: Our funding woes have been bridged on a temporary basis for this year, though we are still in talks with the RDKB, City of Grand Forks, and a few other avenues in efforts to make the funding issues we had this year a thing of the past and ensure that local residents can continue to go skiing for less than $50 per person. Gazette: Do you have a kid’s ski racing club? Nason: We do have a Phoenix Mountain Racers program that started up in January. The Racers train on the weekend and compete in meets. Most recently, the kids competed at Red Mountain in Rossland and did very well. Gazette: What are the future plans? Nason: We plan to keep going and stay a small, affordable, but hopefully viable source for skiing in the Boundary country. We hope to do some expansion in the future, but there are no plans for new lifts at the moment. If things go very nicely, we may be looking at renovating our again rental shop.

Survey gauges Pulse of Kootenay communites STAFF

Grand Forks Gazette

Readers of the Grand Forks Gazette and Black Press community newspapers across the Kootenay-Boundary will have a chance to win a cool $1,000 for completing an online survey that will help local businesses better understand customers in their community. Black Press has partnered with research company Pulse Research to bring the Pulse of West Kootenay survey to readers, which looks at the shopping plans and priorities of people and their media reading habits. People’s answers will help gauge the current consumer climate to help local businesses craft new ways to serve their clients and customers. Responses will be kept completely confidential; contact information will only be gathered in order to enter the name into a prize draw for one of five $1,000 cash prizes to be given away across the Kootenay-Boundary. People who submit the survey before Jan. 31 will also have their name entered into a draw for a $20 grocery gift card. The online survey will take about 35 to 40 minutes, erasing the need for people to spend long periods of time on the phone answering questions. “We are very excited to be a part of this service to the business community,” says Black Press group and Gazette publisher Chuck Bennett. “We are pleased to be able to offer this information and are certain it will be beneficial.” The Pulse Research survey has already been successful for businesses. In fact, one client took the results of the research to the bank and was able to secure a loan to expand their business, on the strength of the research. Among the benefits of the study is allowing businesses to identify niche areas of its business, showing potential areas for growth or expansion. Pulse Research was founded in 1985 to provide publishing clients with research-based advertising sales and marketing programs designed to get results. They are able to deliver insight to businesses who are currently faced with an ever-changing mix of products and services, including web, niche, special sections and deals. Check out Kootenay-Boundary at www.pulseresearch.com/westkootenay to complete the survey and to enter the prize draws.

IN BRIEF Telephone scam In recent days Telus has noted a significant increase in the frequency of a common phone scam. Fraud artists are trying to trick customers out of personal information by posing as representatives of Telus or other wellknown companies offering free trips or other prizes. The fraudsters ‘spoof’ their caller IDs, using specialized Internet services to create false phone numbers to make it appear they are calling from a local number, when they are, in fact, calling from offshore. People who provide personal information to fraudsters could suffer identity theft or other fraud. Personal information includes names, addresses, birthdates, account numbers, passwords, credit card numbers, etc. People should be aware of these frauds, and not give out personal information. Simply hang up when scammers call. For additional information about email and phone fraud, please visit www.telus.com/ scams or the RCMP at http://www. rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ scams-fraudes/ index-eng.htm.

IN BRIEF Celebrating excellence B.C. business people crossing the U.S. border to do business have new protection against expedited removal laws, thanks to a recent U.S. district court ruling. Under expedited removal laws, a Canadian trying to cross into the U.S. has faced a regime that empowers border guards, at their own discretion, to bar Canadians entry to the U.S. for periods of five years or more. However, a Jan. 9 decision by the U.S. ninth Circuit Court of Appeal has recognized an exemption to expedited removal laws for Canadians crossing the border for bona fide business or tourism purposes. This is the first time since the expedited removal laws were passed in 1996 that any U.S. court, administrative tribunal or other body has recognized the existence of such an exemption. Additionally, on Dec. 30, 2013, U.S. Customs and Border Protection cancelled an expedited removal order that had been issued against B.C. actor Chad Rook on Jan. 28, 2013, when Rook was attempting to cross the border to look for acting work in Los Angeles. Under the order, Rook had faced a five-year ban on entering the U.S. The BC Chamber participated in the 9th Circuit Court legal case, which looked at whether Canadians seeking entry to the U.S. can be subject to expedited removal, by filing an amicus brief, together with the Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce, the Northwest Economic Council and the Pacific Corridor Enterprise Council. An amicus brief is a legal vehicle that allows parties who are not involved in a specific legal action to provide courts with additional information pertaining to the case that’s before the courts.

MentorshipBC goes mobile Entrepreneurs looking for mentorship opportunities can now search on-the-go, with the launch of the mobile version of MentorshipBC.

Designed with small business owners in mind, MentorshipBC provides a central database to easily find and access programs that meet their specific needs. In addition to providing small businesses with a search tool to find an appropriate mentor program, the site promotes the benefits of working with mentors and using other small business resources.

Ag Society tackles GE technology and food security issues in Boundary

A column for the Boundary community and to the Grand Forks city council.

n past months the Grand Forks and Boundary Regional Agricultural Society (Ag Society) has been working with Grand Forks city council to establish a statement of value and intention around the use of genetically engineered crops and seeds in the region. To implement these values, the Ag Society has submitted two documents to the Grand Forks city council: 1) a Food Charter and 2) a GE Free petition signed by approximately 450 citizens. Both of these efforts have been met with the same response: declared support for the Ag Society’s work—but no leadership or action. Our intention with these tools is for our region to be as free of genetically modified organisms as possible, and that this action be taken in concert with other measures which ensure uncontaminated water, soil and air. Given that corporate interests develop GE technologies for patents, and that patents are a powerful engine for profit, a further intention of the Ag Society is to promote freedom from corporate control when it comes to the food we produce and consume. These principles are integral to the sustainability, independence and autonomy of the local food supply. After the petition requesting Grand Forks be declared a GE Free Zone was submitted, the Ag Society realized there was a

pressing need to build the information base around GE foods and human health. It was clear that council felt unequipped to deal with this complex issue. To promote education on GE foods, crops and their environmental impact, the Ag Society participated in early December in the GE Free BC Society information tour involving presentations from high level scientists who had extensive direct experience in plant engineering research and in the supporting Canadian regulatory agencies. Two Grand Forks councilors attended this event. It was clear from the information session that this issue is met with divergent points of view. Having GE crops on agricultural lands with the related herbicides may not seem to be a serious concern to some. To the Ag Society, however, this possibility is in direct conflict with our values and goals for an autonomous, sustainable food supply that will support a healthy, growing community. The Ag Society sees these as next steps: • Continue the dialogue around GE crops. We are currently hosting Food Security Forums ( final sessions to be held in January 2014); • Prioritize actions taken from the Food Forum working sessions along side the GE issue, if deemed appropriate—and frame in a stewardship statement to be considered at all leadership levels in the region; • Commit to ensuring that the value of agricultural sustainability and autonomy is dem-

onstrated as a top priority with our local leadership. We will request that this be shown by a commitment to sustained soil and water quality and that measures are taken whereby the food grown in this region is free of any form of contamination from genetic alterations or substances that threaten soil, water or food health. A call to action: • We urge the Grand Forks and Boundary citizens to contact your council or regional district leader on your views regarding GE food crops and seeds. Write letters, visit them, give them a call—let your views be known. • Be part of the action—join the Agricultural Society (which you can do at the Food Forum). There already are several projects underway including the GE Free Campaign, Boundary Seed Bank project, and Tool Share. New initiatives will also emerge out of the Food Forum. • Continue to inform yourself. Read widely on the topic. Initiate discussions with your friends and associates to discover what they think about GE technologies. • Avoid foods processed with corn, canola, cottonseed, soy ingredients, and white sugar beets, both for health reasons and so that manufacturers will remove GMO’s from our food supply for economic reasons. • Write to the head office of your grocery store and food manufacturers. • Stand up for your basic human right to make your own decisions about the kind of food you grow and consume.

One winter morning, an employee explained why he had shown up for work 50 minutes late. “It was so slippery out that for every step I took ahead, I slipped back two.” The boss eyed him suspiciously. “Oh, year? Then how did you ever get here?” “I finally gave up,” he said, “and started for home.”

ast May I wrote about the keys to successful watershed management—how planning groups need to work hard to build understanding, support, and capacity through the entire planning process. Now, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) and the Kettle River Watershed Management Plan stakeholder advisory group (SAG) are building the foundations for long-term success of the plan by creating a flexible framework for coordinating and funding ongoing watershed management activities. The details of this arrangement are still in the works as the advisory group reviews discussion paper two, Working Together: Growing Our Capacity for Watershed Stewardship in the Kettle River Watershed. But I can share what we are up to for the next six months. We aim to have the final draft plan complete by the end of June, with an official launch scheduled for early fall. That means a lot of work on our part, and a lot of chances for you to have your say. Between now and April, we will release four short discussion papers on the website (http://kettleriver.ca/whatwe-are-planning/).

z Kettle River Q and A GRAHAM WATT

These will include discussion paper two as well as papers on sustaining water supplies and improving water conservation, improving floodplain and riparian management, and encouraging responsible recreation and amenity development. Each of the discussion papers provides an overview of the issues, key planning concepts and draft strategies and actions that the advisory group designed to accomplish the goals and respond to the issues that were identified in Discussion Paper 1: A Vision for the Kettle River Watershed. To get your ideas on those topics, we will hold two special meetings: Water Conservation, Storage, and Agricultural Water Issues on March 11, and Floodplain and Riparian Management on April 15. Stay tuned for more details on those events. After getting feedback on the discussion papers, we will

prepare a draft plan for you to review by the middle of May. The plan will be relatively short and action-oriented, building on the discussion papers with recommendations, strategies and actions for managing the watershed in the coming years. Two open houses will provide you an opportunity to review and provide feedback on the draft. All public events will be advertised widely with details posted to http://kettleriver. ca/calendar. New member We are pleased to welcome Roly Russell, electoral Area D director, as the new chair of the stakeholder advisory group. Grace McGregor, who is now the chair of the RDKB board of directors, continues as vice-chair of the advisory group. Director Bill Baird (Area E) remains as chair of the steering committee, which is composed of the RDKB directors and senior management of the RDKB. Graham Watt is the coordinator of the Kettle River Watershed Management Plan for the RDKB, and is working with a Stakeholder Advisory Group from across the region to develop the plan.

IN BRIEF Cannings to seek NDP nomination for South Okanagan-West Kootenay Biologist and author Richard Cannings will be seeking the nomination for the NDP in the new federal riding of South Okanagan-West Kootenay. Alex Atamanenko, who has served as MP in the riding of BC Southern Interior since 2006, announced in October that he would not be seeking re-election in the 2015 federal election. “It will be difficult to fill Alex’s shoes,” said Cannings. “He’s been a very effective and well-respected representative for this riding over the past eight years.” Cannings was the NDP candidate in Penticton during the recent provincial election. “When I was knocking on doors last spring, people kept telling me how disappointed they were in the Harper government, and I had to

agree whole-heartedly with them,” said Cannings. “This government has demeaned Canada’s reputation at home and throughout the world—on foreign policy, on climate change and with a shameless disregard for democratic principles,” he pointed out. “Canadians see Tom Mulcair as an effective leader who is holding Stephen Harper to account for his actions, and who is proposing a more reasoned, more respectful way forward.” A resident of the Okanagan in Penticton, Cannings has his own consulting business and is a wellknown author of over a dozen books on B.C. He has served on the BC Environmental Appeal Board, the BC Forest Appeals Commission and the national board of the Nature Conservancy

Literacy Day creating legacy for life CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Grand Forks will be celebrating Family Literacy Day a little early this year. The actual national family literacy day takes place on Jan. 27 and it is an initiative meant to raise awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in literacy related activities as a family. However, Grand Forks will jump the gun with their show “Tell me a Tale: Share a Family Story” on Fri-

day, Jan. 24. The show, which is sponsored by Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL), goes from 2 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. at the Grand Forks Art Gallery and is open to everyone. Sheila Dobie, CBAL community literacy coordinator for Grand Forks, said the Friday worked out better than Monday because the children are off school and the gallery is open. “It’s an afternoon of sharing stories,” she said. “It’s families, adults, really anyone coming forward shar-

ing a story they have written or are willing to read out or tell that’s about a family, is family-oriented, or about something special that occurred in a family.” Dobie said they are partnering with the local writer’s guild and the Riverside Storytellers to put on the event. “They are quite keen on sharing some of their stories,” she said. “We’re hoping we’ll get a good turnout of all ages of folks sharing some of their writing, stories or poetry.” Family literacy is

important is establishing a culture of learning and encourages an exchange of ideas, enriches family relationships, and bolsters confidence and independent thinking, said Dobie. CBAL encourages families to develop and use literacy at home and in their community through such daily routines as enjoying a storybook together, playing word games, singing, writing to relatives or friends, and making shopping lists or using a recipe.

Participation the focus of annual fishing derby at Wilgress Lake SUBMITTED

Grand Forks Gazette

In two weeks the third annual fishing derby, hosted by the Métis Association and BANAC, will take place at Wilgress Lake. This year, the derby will be held on Family Day weekend, Feb. 8-10. “Last year’s derby was a big success thanks to all the supporters and sponsors. “This year we hope the turnout will be even bigger,” read a press release from the derby organizing committee. The event is a family event for all ages, and kids under 16 don’t need a fishing licence. There will be lots of prizes as well as rafftle draws for special prizes. This year, the focus is on enhancing the youth program in the community and Boundary area. Funds raised from the derby will help assist youth in social activities such as winter and summer sports. The funds will be given to the less fortunate youths in the area. “Participaction is our focus,” the release noted. “We hope this derby, along with events we paln to hold this coming year, will help towards building a healthier family

relationship with our youth. “ To that end, this year’s derby has a new added event, all thanks to the Robinson and Anderson families who created the first snow sculpture at Wilgress Lake last year. Thanks again to those families, the derby will now have a snow sculpturing contest. It’s a chance for the whole family to get in on something when fishing is slow. Great prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place finishes. Also, the derby is close to Valentine’s Day so they have introduced (for the love of fishing) which there will be great giveaways as well as raffles for Valentine’s Day. “So we hope all our fishing guys will take advantage of this,” the

release said. “So you have a great chance of bring home fish as well as something nice for your loved one.” Tickets are for sale

at Winnipeg Liquor Store, Super Save Gas and Shell Gas right now. Watch for advertisements in the Gazette in the weeks to come.

~ Notice Notice of Passing

Fredrick Lorne Boyd July 5, 1949 – January 12, 2014

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Fred Boyd on Sunday, January 12, 2014, in Grand Forks, B.C.

He was the eldest of four sons to Lorne and Iris Boyd. He is survived by his mother Iris and brothers Darryl, Peter and David. Fred grew up in Surrey and had deep roots in the lower mainland, as well as the communities of Penticton and Grand Forks. Fred had a successful and varied career as an entrepreneur, lumber broker, restaurant owner and grocer. He was instrumental in growing the sport of ringette in B.C. and was an accomplished coach on a national level. Fred was spirited, witty, intelligent and generous. He loved his family, valued community, and was passionate about golf. Customers who shopped at Buy-Low in Grand Forks could always ﬁnd Fred in his favorite place – the dairy department – where he would serve them with a happy smile and kind word. Fred was known for his incredible work ethic, strong commitment to customer service, dedication to standards of excellence, and service to community. The loss of Fred will be felt deeply by all who knew him. A celebration of life service will be held at River Valley Community Church, 2826 - 75th Ave, Grand Forks, B.C. on Saturday, January 25, 2014 at 2:00 p.m.

WATER METER SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION JANUARY 2014

The City of Grand Forks invites submissions for Expressions of Interest / Pre-Qualifications of Proponents for supply and installation of water meters. This pre-qualification will be in effect until 2017 and the qualified proponents will be eligible to take part in request for proposals / tenders for water meter supply and installation carried out on or before December 2017. The current City of Grand Forks bylaw only requires commercial and industrial properties to be metered. The City is proposing to expand its metering program to include universal metering of all residential properties. This will require the installation of approximately 2,000 water meters at existing private properties and new homes. Interested firms must demonstrate their ability in achieving a high standard of quality in water meter supply and installation of similar nature, size, and complexity that City of Grand Forksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; projects may contain. A copy of the standard â&#x20AC;&#x153;City of Grand Forks Qualification Statementâ&#x20AC;? form is available on BC BID and the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. All additional information and/or answers to questions will be posted on BC Bid and the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. All inquiries shall be directed to: Thomas Simkins, EIT, Urban Systems Ltd. Telephone: 250-762-2517, Email: tsimkins@urbansystems.ca All proponent expression of interest statements and supporting documentation must be submitted in a sealed envelope, with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Request for Expression of Interest Pre-Qualification of Proponents Water Meter Programâ&#x20AC;? prominently marked out the outside.
