McDonald’s eyes Grand Forks for expansion: council

A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Big Macs and Quarter Pounders could be coming to Grand Forks, according to city council. At the Feb. 24 Grand Forks city council meeting, Mayor Brian Taylor announced to those in attendance that McDonald’s Restaurants are considering opening a restaurant in Grand Forks. “They are applying for development permit which allows them to go forward with the project,” said Taylor to the Gazette. “The city has given them certain conditions to meet in order to comply with our bylaws in terms of hook-ups and systems.” Should McDonald’s respond positively to all those requirements there’s really no reason why the city would turn them down, he noted.

City crews worked hard on Thursday and Friday of last week to fix a broken watermain on Highway 3 just east of the Yale Bridge. Roger Huston, manager of operations for the city, said that only the two motels on the east side of the bridge were without water. Traffic was reduced to single lane as the crews fixed the pipes. The watermain was fixed and the hole was filled by 5 p.m. on Friday.

Blueprint for water delivered to city CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The future of the delivery of water in Grand Forks was revealed in a public meeting last week. At the Feb. 24 committee of the whole meeting, Ken Oliver of Urban Systems delivered the Water Supply Plan for the city, a report expected to detail alternatives to building another reservoir. The city had engaged Urban Systems—a consulting firm that works on strategic planning, engineering, environmental science and urban design services—in 2012 to formulate the plan. The purpose of the water plan

was to provide a blueprint for managing the city’s water system into the future, said Oliver. “You have great plans for this community; you want to move forward; water is an integral part of your infrastructure,” he said. “We want to help you through this plan not only for today but for tomorrow as well.” Oliver said that, under an asset management program developed for the city, the idea for the water management plan was to organize the city’s assets and resources and build upon them. There have been several big changes affecting the water supply that have occurred since 2011.

“Some things have changed since we did our original report,” said Oliver. “(Remi Allard) and Associates did their water well assessment and what they told us is that your confirmed water supply will drop by 53 per cent (from 199 litres per second to 94) because what they suggested is that those wells are being pumped at a higher rate than they should be.” The city also had divers check the reservoir capacities and they’re 22 per cent lower than previously thought. Thirdly, with the onset of a water metering program, water supply should to drop in the city.

The City of Grand owns and operates the city municipal water system. Well capacity is 276 LPS (litres per second). Reservoirs (2012 report) Two reservoirs: Eastside (capacity 3,450 sq. metres) and Valley Heights (450 sq. m.)

Collision caused by running red light On Feb. 24 at 8:06 a.m., RCMP received a report of a collision at Central Avenue and Boundary Drive in Grand Forks. “One driver was waiting in the southbound lane on Boundary Drive to make a east bound turn on to Central Avenue when the other driver ran the red light and ran into her,” said Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. The driver, a 70-year-old male from Grand Forks in a 2012 Dodge Caravan, was charged with failing to stop for a red light. No injuries were reported. Hit and run with snowmobile On Feb. 25, a person on Canning Road complained that her vehicle was struck by a snowmobile. “The person driving the snowmobile decided to drive away and not exchange any information,” said Harrison. The damage to the vehicle was under $1,000. The snowmobile operator was charged with failing to stop and leave particulars, as well as for having no insurance. B and E at Tomkat There was a break-and enter-reported at Tomkat Automotive on Feb. 26 at 2:10 a.m. “Officers attended the scene and found a male culprit inside,” said Harrison. “The young person was arrested.” Harrison said the culprit, a 17-year-old Grand Forks male, had broken in through a window and was found inside the building. “He had several tools on him which he obviously planned on taking when he was apprehended,” said Harrison. The male was held in custody and released on bail by a judicial justice of the peace with a curfew and order to attend court on April 8. “He was charged with break and enter, obstructing a peace officer, and mischief,” said Harrison. Hit and run on March 1 On March 1 at 5:30 p.m., police received a call of a hit-and-run at Overwaitea. “A person had parked their vehicle between a small white car and a pick-up truck in the Overwaitea parking lot,” said Harrison. “When he returned to his car he noticed a dent in the driver’s side door and the (rear driver’s side) passenger door, causing an apparent $2,000 worth of damage.” Any witnesses or anyone with any further information is urged to Grand Forks RCMP or CrimeStoppers.

Seedy Saturday reveals meaning of life LETA BAK

for the Grand Forks Gazette

The days are getting longer, not by much, but enough for the gardener’s passion to stir from its winter slumber and to start daydreaming of little seeds that will sprout a new season of gardening adventure. Adventure? That is how I look at it, no two seasons are the same and neither is the structure or content of the garden. There’s a thrill in the practice of forecasting the season. What will the weather bring? Will there be a bumper crop of peppers or plums? Will the potatoes be discovered by moles? Or the grasshoppers arrive in a cloud of a thousand thundering little wings? Then there is hunting through the gardening section at the library for books on different methodologies of gardening, and problem-solving tips

for greater success, whether small planter pots on the balcony or forest gardening on an acreage. It’s also exciting to see who will join you in the gardening adventure and to see the thrill on the face of a little one pulling a carrot out of the ground, brushing the dirt off and having a crunchy sweet bite of gardening joy. How easy it is to have kids help collect lettuce, berries and edible flowers from the garden and then help prepare a salad for lunch or dinner? There is joy in sharing with others what you’ve grown, food stuff or seeds. If you haven’t yet found yourself trying on rubber boots and plaid shirts, looking at the selection of gardening gloves available in town and wondering where to set up the full spectrum lights for seedlings, that’s okay, there is plenty of time for your thumb to turn green.

Conversation needed

ne thing that is becoming apparent in the water meter saga is unrelenting evidence that both sides—for and against the home installation project—are certain they are right. No one is giving ground in the debate over the merit and demerit of the technology that will measure individual usage and eventually institute a pay-per-usage formula. But the two things that are certain are: water conservation measures and infrastructure upgrades of some sort are needed in the community; and that installation of water meters is inevitable. Wear and tear on the aging infrastructure is a real concern—as it is in communities across the nation—as is increased usage of the resource. A plan is needed to ensure the water delivery framework is replaced and preserved, as well as one to keep usage in check to ensure the future of the resource. One side feels they have a solution to the problem, but no alternatives are being offered to the very real rising cost of water delivery and a way to manage a finite resource. That conversation is needed.

No clothes on the emperor? Time to point out the obvious second opinion

So Bitcoin is having a little problem. Now there is a surprise. Let’s see, hmmm, some guys whom we can’t identify invent a currency that doesn’t exist which is traded somewhere in the Cloud. Well, that’s clear. And to buy this non-existent currency you have to give to these persons whom you don’t know real money on the promise that the value of Bitcoin will continue to rise as it gains more use and more people buy into it, so your purchase is really an investment. Right. Like the real estate lot on the lava slopes of Mauna Loa that my Great Aunt Carrie once bought.

And now a Tokyo company called MtGox, a Bitcoin currency exchange, has gone bankrupt saying that something like 750,000 Bitcoins have been stolen from their digital vault. Yes, their digital vault! And all this is being reported in the international media with a straight face. Are you kidding me? P.T. Barnum must be chuckling; even Bernie Madoff is probably cracking a smile. MtGox founder, a French guy named Mark Karpeles reportedly said to his Japanese customers, “We have lost Bitcoins due to weaknesses in the system. We are really sorry for causing trouble to all the people concerned.” He’s blaming it on hackers who stole the cyber Bitcoins from the digital vault. So I guess that’s it. He’s sorry; the Bitcoins are

gone, whisked away into someone else’s digital vault. It’s all over. Nothing else to clear up. Oh, wait a minute! Those Bitcoins were originally purchased for something like $477,000 real dollars. Now where could that money be? It’s too bulky for the digital vault. Hmmm, another mystery! The best thing about this story and what will eventually reverberate throughout the media—at least on John Stewart’s Daily Show—is the smugness of the young digital proselytes who proudly proclaimed that Bitcoin would usher in a new age of simple, user-friendly international monetary exchange that would put an end to the monopoly and profiteering of the Big Banks and the corporate theft of the credit card companies. The pronouncements were usually accompanied by

Letters

Wading into the debate

to the editor

Thank you extended to frozen river rescuers To the Editor: On Wednesday, Feb. 5 in the late afternoon, my husband and I were just completing our walk at City Park with our two dogs when our young dog Charlie (King Charles cavalier) ran out onto the icy river after ducks and fell into the middle of the river. My husband tried in vain to rescue him and he fell through the ice. Prior to this the Grand Forks Fire Department was called.

On their arrival they took care of my husband, almost at the same time a couple came to assist me. The woman’s name was Debbie and her husband immediately walked into the river, breaking away ice as he went and came out with our dog, who was now in a bad way as he was in the freezing water for over 20 minutes. As all this was happening Debbie informed me her husband knew the river well.

Debbie also accompanied me with the dog to the vet. We have so many wonderful folks to thank: fire department (Dale and his crew), Debbie and her husband, and last but not least to our veterinarian Dr. Ruth, who, after several hours, got Charlie’s internal temperature up to normal. Thank you from two very grateful seniors. Molly and Doug Gateman, Grand Forks

Olympics exacerbate serious existing problems

To the Editor: The industrialized countries’ competitive sports super extravaganza, otherwise known as the Winter Olympics, has concluded. The economic, political, social and athletic elites have gone home and ordinary Russians are saddled with the $50 billion expense. A price they could ill afford. This huge expenditure may fuel national pride in the near term, but will only exacerbate the serious, economic, social and environmental problems facing the people of Russia in the future. It has the distinction of having the highest rate of wealth inequality in the world in which just 110 citizens (pop. 145 million) own 35 per cent of all wealth, and the number of Russians living below the poverty line exceeds the entire population of Canada. Furthermore, it also has the lowest life expectancy rate among industrialized nations, some

10 years less than the European average. Russia’s health care system ranks 130th in the world (Canada ranks 30th: WHO 2012), well behind all other European nations including those from the former Soviet Bloc. In addition, only 70 per cent of Russians have access to clean drinking water, and work safety standards are on a par with developing countries. Access to nutritious food is a luxury for working people, leading to child obesity rates that surpass even those of the U.S. As the athletes depart Sochi with their hardware and souvenirs, the Russian oligarchy can focus once more on the business of plundering the rich resources of Russia for their selfaggrandisement, while Putin and his henchmen divert attention by scapegoating minorities and LGBTs. David Pehota, Grand Forks

No resolution in sight for noise complaints To the Editor: I was reading with interest the comments about the sawmill in the thumbs up/thumbs down column in the Gazette. When we bought our house in South Ruckle in November 2000 there wasn’t so much noise then. In 2006 they built the big hall with the waste conveyer on the outside, which makes so much noise. At the same time they moved the loading section right over near our back yard. I understand that they are only doing their jobs, but is

there a possibility that the waste conveyer be closed in to reduce the noise? I asked this before but was turned down. We complained since they finished the hall but I was told, “If I can’t handle the noise we should move on.” Even the police told me if I go to the office of the sawmill I will get arrested. So the only way I could complain was to bring complaint sheets to City Hall, since we have a bylaw (1681 who says “No noise between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.).

Some of the forklift drivers are very considerate about our complaints and use the quiet forklifts at night, but there are some drivers who make more noise than necessary, like have the “beepers” on or driving with the noisiest forklifts. We are not the only ones to complain. Lots of people are upset about the noise on the city side of the river. I even heard from people on Carson Road that they can hear the noise from the sawmill.

on tap: Clearing up misconceptions on water meters

was not going to respond to the negativity (on water meters) because it would just inflame those that spread rumours and untruths. But I find it really hard when I see statements that are false being put forward. And the people that signed the petition deserve an answer. As reported in the Gazette, I did state that it was the best petition I had seen in all my years on council. What was not reported was I also said that I wished the proponents had let us have a look at it before they circulated it, as there were false statements under the Council heading of facts. I then asked, “If comment someone signed a petition believing that the statements were true, and in neil krog fact they were not, does that affect the validity?” Also, when the petition was turned in the proponents seemed more interested in large corporations and other world governments’ plans to come take our water. I’m not sure if the people that signed the petition had the same conspiracy concerns as there was no mention of these theories on the petition. I also have concerns regarding the following statements: “We only have $212,622.30 of gas tax money.” Truth is we have $1,447,000 in the bank and it ‘all’ came from the gas tax. “Council has suddenly come to the realization that our infrastructure is rotten and about to implode.” Truth is the state of our infrastructure is not a surprise and is not about to implode. Does it need repair and upgrading repair? Yes it does, just like every other community in B.C. “Government is forcing council to install water meters.” Truth is the provincial and federal government have never said if you do not have water meters you will not get a grant. There are hundreds and hundreds of communities vying for the same infrastructure grant. Common sense tells you that unless you can show that you are serious about conserving water you would go to the bottom of the list. “It is just a cash grab.” Truth is, it costs money to pull the water from the ground, treat it and deliver it to our houses. The more we use the more it costs, the less we use, the less it costs, not to mention wear-and-tear savings on the pumps, treatment plants and the electrical costs. “Why does council all of a sudden feel so strongly about water meters?” Truth is we have sat through years of discussions and studied numerous reports. We have had in-depth conversations with experts and have being looking at this subject for 15 years. All at open public meetings. That is what we were elected to do; our job was to do the research and the conclusion we reached was that water meters would conserve and protect our water for future generations, save us millions of dollars, ensure proper fire protection and make sure that we have adequate water for our yards and gardens. Thanks to the hard work of Les Johnson, you can go to the gftv.ca website and click the tab government to see for yourself what happened at the council meetings. Please watch the meeting of GF COTW Feb 24th PT1 for our engineer’s presentation on the City of Grand Forks Water Supply Plan. It is probably the best explanation of our situation, as he puts it all in perspective. Or you can get a copy from City Hall. On a final note, I find it interesting that some people call for the majority of citizens to vote out a council and yet they do not put their name on the ballot. I would suggest that rather than standing in the shadows working to get someone unelected, why not step forward and use that passion and desire to get yourself elected? Then you can make the changes you want to see. Neil Krog is a Grand Forks city councillor.

to the editor

Water is worth thinking, talking about To the Editor: Water is of utmost significance to all of us. We are vulnerable if we don’t have access to clean, affordable water. So, water is worth thinking and talking about. Following are some points I wish to share for consideration: • Control the water, and you control the people. Water is needed for survival. And, water is needed for crop irrigation and food security. • Water meters are a tool used by corporate water providers to make a profit. A community that already has water meters set up is more attractive to a corporation interested in a public-private partnership (P3). Our federal and provincial governments are promoting P3 privatization. • Water meters mean paying more if you want to grow and irrigate a garden, or going through red tape to get a garden growing discount (if one is available.) Do we still wish to encourage and make it easier for people to grow their own food? • With water meters, who do you think would make greater efforts to conserve, the affluent rich or the less affluent poor? • With pay per use, what’s to stop the affluent rich from using more water? They are, after all, paying for it. • With the less affluent poor making efforts to conserve water, there may be consequences to health and hygiene. • Will renters now be asked to pay per use of water in addition to their monthly rent?

Flat water rate does not make any sense

• With pay per use, who do you think would likely pay more for water: a couple in their senior years or a young family who has two children and Border Bruin billets? Do we still wish to attract young families to Grand Forks (as is stated in our Sustainable Community Plan)? • Installing wireless water meters increases the radiation we are exposed to. Their signals can be read a couple of blocks away. How much radiation can we be exposed to before having health consequences? In May 2011, a group of experts at the International Agency for Research on Cancer, an agency of the WHO (World Health Organisation), classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic (Group 2B) for humans. • The city’s plan is to spend over $1.3 million, using up most of our gas tax savings. This is money that could otherwise be used for things like public transit expansion, bike paths, community energy systems (wind, solar, thermal, geothermal), and habitat protection systems. • Do water meters conserve water or do people? Do we need to spend over $1 million to convince people to conserve water? Might the people decide to conserve water if they thought it made sense to? Should we give the people a chance? We could save over $1 million. The city is inviting residents to attend their council meeting on March 10. Donna Semenoff, Grand Forks

To the Editor: To the people who are petitioning the City of Grand Forks in opposition to water metering: your idea to continue the flat water rate makes as much sense to me

Opinion should be based on reliable info To the Editor: I have been away from Grand Forks for several months, and on my return was interested to find many letters or articles in the Gazette concerning genetically modified or GM foods. It is a controversial subject with a lot of misinformation. An example of this is research published in 2012 in Food Chemistry and Toxicology, on tumours in rats fed GM corn. However, in November 2013 the paper was withdrawn as the results were not considered to be valid. People will remember the tumour report, but may be unaware of the retraction. Evidently, 90 per cent of the corn grown in the U.S. is GM, and corn, in some form, is in many of our processed foods. If such foods were labeled, and they should be,

I suspect most of the foods that we buy would have to be labeled. While it may be possible to ban or prevent the use of GM seeds in our area, I don’t know how we can avoid GM foods. Plant improvement through breeding, in which I was involved for 25 years, is vital for agriculture, and especially for disease resistance. Remember the results of the potato famine in Ireland when resistance wasn’t available, and late blight fungus wiped out the potato crop. I have also heard F1 hybrids considered to be the equivalent to a GM product. They have nothing to do with GM methods, and involve standard breeding techniques. They come from the controlled pollination of two genetically different, but compatible parents that give seeds

which produce plants with improved characteristics. The technique was in use before GM methods existed. Many crops now use F1 hybrid seed because of their disease and yield advantage. A point often made against GM plants is you can’t save their seeds. However, the same applies to hybrids, as the resulting plants will be highly variable. In both cases, the grower has to buy seed every year. Roundup or glyphosate twice was referred to as an antibiotic or for disease control. That is completely wrong, as it is only a herbicide that is used for weed control, and has no antibiotic or disease control traits. While everyone has the right to an opinion, it should be based on reliable information. Ernie Whelan, Grand Forks

Grand Forks will be looking at four-year terms for all its municipal councilors, as well as regional directors, the same as the rest of the province. New legislation—passed last week—will have B.C. joining the other provinces in Canada in having four-year terms for those in municipal office. The next election for Grand Forks council, as well as councils and regional districts across B.C., is set for Nov. 15. The four-year term, which adds an additional year to the current three-year term, would be in effect for the next set of councilors. Councilor Cher Wyers said there are many benefits for going from three years to four years. “Three years goes pretty fast,” she said. “If you’re a newly elected official, those first two years are primarily learning, listening, catching up with what’s going on. “This will add longevity and more continuity (for councils). (Currently), you just get into the process and year three you’re working into an election.” She said the four years will

also allow councils to complete more projects. “There’s also the cost factor,” said Wyers. “You’re stretching it out now for four years instead of three. Elections cost money to put on.” The 2014 municipal election throughout B.C. would be the introduction of the four-year term, said Wyers, after the province released a white paper on election reform on Aug. 27, 2013. She said there were discussions at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention in September (2013) in Vancouver, with more input received from local governments around the province. The four-year term was passed as a motion at UBCM in September. Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Coralee Oakes said last week she would introduce legislation shortly to extend local government terms from three years to four. The change is to take effect in time for elections next fall. The issue has been debated many times and has been divisive over the years, with some rural politicians arguing against extending the commitment for jobs with little pay. Oakes, who served two

terms on Quesnel city council before being elected to the B.C. legislature last year, said she had her own doubts about it when it was debated during that time. But she has made up her mind. “The reason why provinces across Canada have moved to four years is it provides greater certainty in communities to move those very important projects forward, things such as infrastructure improvements,” Oakes said. “It provides opportunities for local government officials to understand their projects and to carry them through.” The change would mean the next municipal election would be held in 2018, on a schedule that follows provincial elections by one year. Oakes said there was no intent to avoid having both elections at the same time, and she is acting in response to the UBCM’s vote to go ahead. Asked if the legislation would include a “Rob Ford clause” to remove politicians who misbehave while in office, Oakes said the ministry is examining changes to the oath of office to “provide more tools” to deal with such situations. — with files from Tom Fletcher, Black Press

SD51 evaluating four-school admin. model PAT KELLY

Boundary Creek Times

School District 51 is evaluating the fourschool model (FSM) implemented for Beaverdell, West Boundary, Midway and Greenwood elementary schools that has one principal providing administration for

four schools. The board will be voting at their Tuesday, March 11 (6 p.m.) meeting if to continue employing the model, which was given a one-year trial this year. Superintendent Kevin Argue said the district is asking questions to discover how the students have ex-

perienced the model, as well as the parents’ own observations. Argue said staff would be given an opportunity to provide their own input anonymously through an online survey site. Some parents have complained that under the FSM the principal was not as available

to parents, as he didn’t have a set schedule. New student handbooks were drafted, school calendars were reviewed and events scheduled so that students across the four schools had more interaction, with the practice of printing a weekly newsletter adopted in each school.

The Grand Forks Wildlife Association would like to extend a big “Thank You” to all who attended the

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Crime is decreasing in the Boundary area for the third straight year, according to the annual police report. At the committee of the whole meeting on Feb. 11, council heard the annual report from the Boundary Regional RCMP detachment delivered by Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison, and it was a good one. Overall, criminal offences were down 23 per cent from 2012 to 2013. “In 2013, there were again significant decreases in the occurrence of crime throughout the Boundary area,” Harrison said in the report. He stated that there has been a trend across the country and the province for dropping crime rates, “However, the Boundary has exceeded national and provincial average reductions in crime by a significant amount.” That isn’t by accident, Harrison asserted. In 2010, the Boundary Regional RCMP saw the implementation of several strategies for crime reduction. “Over the past three years the results of initiating and practicing these strategies has become apparent,” he said in the report. The report stated that property crime has been reduced by 31.2 per cent in 2013. However, crimes against person (violent crimes or threats of violence or harassment) were up 11.76 per cent. Although common assaults and uttering threats were the incidents that increased most notably, other Criminal Code offences were down 17.6 per cent. “With the reductions that were realized in 2011 of 19 per cent, 11 per cent in 2012, and a further reduction in 2013 of 23 per cent, we have now seen crime reduced by 48 per cent since 2010,” said Harrison. Boundary police will continue with their crime reduction, crime prevention and community policing activities in 2014, he said. “In 2013, we concentrated enforcement on breach of probation, conditional sentence orders and bail orders,” said Harrison. “This approach was directed towards known criminal offenders to ensure compliance with their court orders.”

Water meters Continued from Page 1

The new water supply plan was approved by Grand Forks city council and work has already begun, according to Sasha Bird, manager of development and engineering for the City of Grand Forks. It’s a 20-year plan, she said. “For over 40 years, the councils have talked about building another reservoir to balance the system,” Bird said. “Right now we have no way of draining that reservoir and cleaning it up. It has to stay online because it’s the only one we have.” Bird said the city had Urban Systems re-evaluate the earlier pre-design report for

another reservoir and they came up with a cost of $6.6 million. “We told them we couldn’t afford that,” she said, and noted they asked the consultants to find some other alternatives. “They told us our alternatives are to install gen sets on your wells and install a new well and basically use your ground water as your storage.” A gen set is a back-up generator that allows for the well to still pump in the event of a power failure. Points in the plan The main recommendations in the water supply plan include: installing the back-up generators, install a bypass at the booster station,

Grand Forks has been chosen by the Association of Kootenay and Boundary Local Governments as one of only three communities to host a special evening of conversation. Grand Forks residents will share their opinions with each other and with Mayor Brian Taylor and council at the event on Monday, March 12 from 6:30-9 p.m. at the Omega banquet room. A lively and informal format is planned, with facilitated round table discussions about what “top five” issues Grand Forks citizens want to explore this year, what information they would like to have about municipal government, and how to get everyone engaged in the municipal election this fall. This is a conversation, not a presentation, and people will be a part of the action, not a part of the audience. Talk at round tables with other citizens and the mayor and council, and share ideas and your point of view, while also getting to hear the ideas of others. Don’t worry about dinner, a buffet will be provided. The event is open to all residents of the city—seating is limited by the size of the venue, so the city would like to know if you’re planning to attend. Please contact the city at info@grandforks.ca by March 7 to register.

New off-road legislation to be introduced Bill 13, the Off Road Vehicle Act, promises certainty, safety and regulatory structure for thousands of off-road enthusiasts. The act, if passed and brought into force, will: • Establish a one-time registration system specifically designed to integrate with the pre-existing structure of the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia’s vehicle registry, reducing implementation costs. ORVs will have to be registered and display a clearly visible number plate before they can be operated on Crown land. • Allow the development of regulations on the rules of operation (such as wearing helmets), safety standards and conditions of use for a wide range of modern ORVs. • Provide officers with more effective enforcement tools to target the small number of irresponsible ORV owners that endanger others or damage sensitive habitat. To view the bill: www.leg.bc.ca/40th2nd/4-4-40-2.htm. and install a new well with new dimensions to meet today’s requirements including fire flows. “If we do all that, we’ll save ourselves 11 years before we need to install another well,” said Bird. Bird added that the 20year plan was built on the anticipation of a 25-per-cent decrease in water supply demand expected with the installation of residential water meters. “It’s also based on a scaling back of how we pump from our wells, which is what Remi (Allard, hydrogeologist) recommended in his report,” she said. Mayor Brian Taylor said that not having to build another reservoir in the near future will save the city a great

deal of money. “Urban Systems looked at this water supply plan and basically said we can meet our maximum flow requirements and our safety requirements for fire by putting gen sets on certain pumps and using our control system to use our existing wells as a reservoir,” he said. “The plan has literally saved us millions of dollars.” The city has already begun installing the gen sets. Taylor said they would help with keeping water flowing in the event of a fire. When the power goes out, the last thing you want is for the water system to fail in that scenario, he said. “The gen set will make sure we’ll still have water pressure,” said Taylor.

Unfortunately, nobody gets off the hook. Every year, we must do our civic duty and declare our income. While some of us prefer to sit down and struggle with all those little boxes and blanks as best we can, others simply entrust the task to tax specialists. So just when, exactly, is it worthwhile to ask a tax professional for help? That depends on the complexity of your situation. Do you rent your home and have only one job? Are you single, with no dependents? If figures don’t scare you and you are aware of tax laws as they apply to you, filling out your return by yourself is a challenge you can probably navigate through. Do be careful, though.

Footloose prepares to sizzle ELIZABETH MARTIN

for the Grand Forks Gazette

Last week I went to the Grand Forks Secondary School and sat in for a short time on a rehearsal for the upcoming musical Footloose. This is being done by the Boundary Musical and Theatre Society and promises to be lots of fun. It is based on the older version of the movie starring Kevin Bacon, a movie I have yet to see.

But from what I could tell, the script has many aspects to it: line dancing and songs ranging from slower ballads to rap and disco, and most of them easy to recognize. There is a small band consisting of piano (Lorraine Barg), guitar (Dwight Garfield), and drums (Timothy Palek), and they sounded great. Deborah Baker is the director and is a very familiar face in theatre here. Christine-Ann Baker is the stage manager and her assis-

tant is Amanda Grey. These people, plus a very talented cast, have put together an evening of fun, music and story not to be missed. The show runs March 6-9 with a matinee on March 9, all in the high school gym. Theatre time is 7 p.m. Once again, good people of Grand Forks, please try and come to one of the performances of this engaging musical, support your local theatre group and have a great time too.

IN BRIEF Habitat for Humanity seeks board members CRA scam persists SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Since its inception in 1996, Habitat Boundary has relied upon volunteers to create affordable homes for low-income families and individuals. With the completion of the multiplex last year, the society has built a total of 14 homes. Habitat Boundary has been recognized nationally for building more homes per capita than any other affiliate in a similar sized community. By way of comparison, the Habitat affiliate in Vancouver would need to build more than 200 homes per year to match this level of productivity. This is indeed an accomplishment the whole community can take pride in. Habitat is currently raising funds to complete the MultiAgency Accommodation Project and build a ReStore. The ReStore will recycle used building materials, furniture, tools,

equipment, appliances and other second-hand goods and potentially divert tons of useable materials from the landfill. Habitat is looking for committed individuals to fill three vacancies on the board of directors. If you have financial skills, strategic planning skills or are passionate about affordable housing and grass roots efforts to eliminate poverty, please consider sharing your skills and time with Habitat for Humanity. Habitat’s annual general meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 25 at 7 p.m. in the Fireside Room in the Gospel Chapel. Please get in touch with Habitat by Saturday, March 15 if you are willing to put your name forward for the board. Visit the Habitat website at http://www.habitatboundary. com or call Irene Friesen at 4422634, Eleanore Martens at 4423068 or Margaret Steele at 4425660 for more information.

A scam involving fraudulent communications purported to be from Canada Revenue Agency has been circulating the area, police are reporting. Occasionally, taxpayers may receive, either by telephone, mail, or email, a communication that claims to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) but is not, said Gordon Sims, RCMP crime prevention officer from the Trail and Greater District Detachment. In all these cases, the communication requests personal information, such as social insurance, credit card, bank account and passport numbers. If you have responded to a fraudulent communication and have become a victim of fraud, please contact the RCMP’s Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre by email at info@antifraudcentre.ca or call 1-888-495-8501.

The former provincial minister of agriculture and food will be in Grand Forks next week for a rally at Selkirk College to save the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). Corky Evans will be speaking on Wednesday, March 12 (7:30-9 p.m.) in the city about recent reports that have outlined government threats to the ALR and the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC). February marked the 40th anniversary of the ALR, which was created to protect farmlands across B.C. for agriculture. The ALC was set up to administer and protect the ALR lands. “We want to draw people’s attention to the issue and encourage folks to come out to the rally and be inspired about it,” said Sheila Dobie, chair of the Grand Forks and Boundary Regional Agriculture Society, the host of the event. Dobie said there is fear the ALC, which is currently a non-partisan organization, will be given to a ministry. “We don’t want that,” she said. “We want to keep this agricultural designation preserved because it’s the basis for our food supply” and moving the ALC to a ministry would strip away ALR designation. Dobie said Evans will be at the rally talking about his point of view as a former environment minister and his experiences. Following that, the rally will be interactive with different people talking about what can be done in a round-table forum style. “I think we’ll get a more rounded picture of the information,” she said. Evans is a retired B.C. NDP MLA for NelsonCreston. He was MLA for that region from 19912001 and 2005-09. He has had several portfolios including minister of transportation and highways in February to June of 1996 under then-premier Glen Clark, and minister of agriculture and food from June, 1996 to November 2000 also under Clark. He also finished runner-up twice for leadership of the NDP, in 1996 to Clark and again in 2000 to Ujjal Dosanjh.

IN BRIEF Pharmacist Awareness Month March 2014 is Pharmacist Awareness Month, when pharmacists across the country reach out to make Canadians aware of the many services they offer to improve their patients’ health. This year’s theme, “The pharmacist is in,” highlights the fact pharmacists are one of the most accessible health care providers in Canada, taking on expanded services. A 2012 survey by Environics Research Group showed that while many Canadians are willing to see pharmacists for expanded services, they simply aren’t aware of the full range of issues they can discuss with their pharmacist. The survey of over 1,500 adults showed that Canadians report high levels of interaction and satisfaction with pharmacists’ services, and a full 80 per cent of respondents indicated that they’ve received counselling or advice from a pharmacist. “There are many health-related issues that pharmacists can work through with patients, without appointments or wait times,” said Graeme Carlson, owner/pharmacist of Pharmasave Grand Forks. In B.C. pharmacists can renew and adapt prescriptions, administer injections like the flu shot, provide smoking cessation counselling and make therapeutic substitutions.

he days are getting longer, and the sun is starting to emerge from hiding—which means it may not be spring yet, but it’s definitely on its way! If you’re thinking about spring cleaning, come check out our books on home organization and clutter-reduction books. If you’re dreaming of home renovations and woodworking projects, we’ve got a great collection, as well as several magazines, including Fine Homebuilding and Home Workshop and Canadian House and Home. And now, here’s what’s going on at the library: Board Game Club We’re launching an exciting new program: a Board Game Club for teens and adults, every Friday from 2-4:30 p.m., starting on Friday, March 7. We’ll have tons of games here (not our usual collection—

NFB movie night We’ll be having a special movie night on Thursday, March 13 at 6 p.m.—a onetime-only showing of the NFB film My Doukhobor Cousins.

RDKB could lose one job from building inspection TIMOTHY SCHAFER Grand Forks Gazette

A drop in building permit activity in the Boundary and the City of Grand Forks’ withdrawal from the regional district building inspection service has prompted a proposal for the reduction of service levels in the region. With the departure of the City of Grand Forks from the service in 2013, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) staff are proposing a cut in staffing levels in the Grand Forks office—reducing the office from three building inspectors to two. One building inspector could be laid off this year, according to Mark Andison, general manager of RDKB operations/deputy chief administrative officer, in his report to the board of directors on the department’s budget draft. “The reduction in service levels, from three inspectors in the Boundary to two, will have some impact upon the department’s ability to process applications for property-owners and enforce the Building Bylaw throughout the Boundary,” he said in the report. However, considering that the number of permits processed by the department has decreased fairly significantly over the past few years, the staffing reduction should leave the department in a position where it can continue to provide effective service, he noted. The regional district building inspection department provides building inspection services to the five electoral areas plus, on a contract basis, to six of the RDKB’s member municipalities (Fruitvale, Montrose, Trail, Warfield, Greenwood, and Midway). In order to maintain the same staffing and servicing levels in 2014, there would have to be a significant increase to the requisition from the electoral areas, approximately 13 per cent. The impact of the cut to the municipalities would result in a small decrease in the requisition for most municipalities and increase for others (based upon the municipal contract formula). Until mid-2013, the department also provided building inspection services to the City of Grand Forks, on a contract basis. With the withdrawal of the City of Grand Forks from the RDKB’s contracted building inspection service, there has been a significant reduction in revenue to the department from the loss of the associated contract fee (2012 contract fee was $90,645). There has also been a significant reduction in the number of building permits processed by the building inspection department as a result of the city’s withdrawal from the service in mid-2013. The department processed building permits for 56 projects within the City of Grand Forks in 2012. Along with the reduced permit volume processed by the regional district’s Boundary office due to the withdrawal of the City of Grand Forks from the RDKB building inspection service contract, there has been a general reduction in building activity throughout the Boundary over the past few years, most dramatically at Big White. Over recent years, the RDKB has offset the reduction in permit volumes in the Boundary by utilizing reserve funds to minimize taxation impacts. Reserves funds, generated in previous years when there were higher levels of building activity (particularly at Big White), have been used to supplement the operating costs for the service over the past few years. However, with the City of Grand Forks withdrawal from their service contract, and the resultant loss in contract revenue and the associated decrease in building permit volumes, RDKB staff felt it was it time to reconsider service levels provided from the RDKB’s Boundary office. The Draft Budget and Five-Year Financial Plan includes a significant reduction in expenditures from the 2013 budget—down 12.9 per cent from a budgeted expenditure of $1,097,291 in 2013 to $955,614 in 2014. This expenditure reduction, however, translates into a 2.97 per cent requisition increase for the electoral areas. For the participating municipalities, though, it will represent a significant requisition reduction.

IN BRIEF Help for compulsive overeaters The first Overeaters Anonymous (OA) meeting was held in 1960 and since that time, it has grown to about 54,000 members. OA is not just about weight loss, weight gain or maintenance, obesity or diets. The OA program offers physical, emotional and spiritual recovery and helps create a plan of eating that may include identifying trigger foods and behaviours. No membership dues or fees are required for participation in OA. In OA you will find members who are morbidly obese, extremely or moderately overweight, average weight or under weight, still maintaining control over their eating behaviours, or totally unable to control their compulsive eating. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively. Anonymity protects both the individual and OA membership as a whole. OA meets at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church basement at 7252 Seventh St. on Monday nights at 7 p.m. If you have any questions call 250-4422346.

Greenwood’s water places third Greenwood’s water finished on the podium at the 24th annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting in West Virginia last week, garnering a bronze. In fact, two of the best tasting tap waters in the world are from British Columbia, with Clearwater taking their third gold medal. All but one of the six top rated municipal waters had won at Berkeley Springs before. “That places us in the medals four of the last five years,” said Greenwood Mayor Nipper Kettle, “proving yet again we are consistently producing the top water in the world with our aquifer.” Greenwood won gold in 2012 and bronze in 2010 and 2013. Berkeley Springs is the oldest and largest water tasting competition in the world. — Pat Kelly, Boundary Creek Times

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks Border Bruins held their award banquet on Sunday, Feb. 16 at Christina Lake’s Community Hall. In all, 10 awards were handed out to players for their efforts during the season. The awards banquet was also the culmination of a parents’ weekend which saw most of the players’ parents in town for some fun events and to catch a couple of games. “The game Friday, which was in Nelson, was broadcast live at Clyde’s,” said Matt Zamec, assistant coach and general manager. “The parents got to hang out and watch the game. Saturday there was a brunch for the parents and the team. Sunday was the banquet, capping a whole weekend of activities.” The awards banquet featured a dinner catered by the Crow and Bear Pub and Restaurant, a silent auction, awards and some fun prizes as well for all the players. Selected team most valuable player was captain Jackson Purvis. Purvis, along with teammate Connor Gross, were selected for a Hockey Canada Award for their strong play and dedication during their two years playing with the Bruins. “They both, in their two

years here, got over 100 points total,” said Zamec. “That doesn’t happen very often for us. It’s a pretty outstanding contribution. Those two have been pretty exceptional. It was a bit of recognition for the pair before they leave us.” The two 19-year-olds won’t be returning next year. Purvis has signed with NCAA Division 3 Bethel University in Minnesota and will play there next year. Gross has not made any plans as of yet. Forward Cam McLennan was selected as the team’s most dedicated player and also shared the fan favourite award with Dakota Kittle. “Cam’s dedication and lead-

ership (is excellent),” said Zamec. “He was one of our letter wearers (assistant). One of the leadership group. He was often the go-to guy for organizing off-ice activities and fundraising, especially when Purvis was out (with an injury) for chunks of November and December. It all fell on Cam’s shoulders and he just assumed the captain responsibilities.” Zamec said that McLennan was a fan favourite all year with his shot blocking and work ethic. “He was a great leader,” he said. “The award is for inspiration, dedication and perseverance and I think he exemplified all of those traits.” Zamec said goalie Kai McDonald was an easy pick for most improved after stepping in as the starting goalie when regular starter Dominik Stadnyk went down with an injury in January. “He came in as a 17-year-old this year after AP’ing for us last year,” said Zamec. “He had a good summer. He went to some junior A camps but didn’t catch on. So we brought him in to battle in with the 20-year-old (Stadnyk). We basically brought him in as a backup and by December he was starting games. He made huge strides throughout the season.”

Jr. Wolves come third in West Kootenay finals STAFF

Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS) junior girls basketball capped off a strong season with a third place showing at the West Kootenay Championships at L.V. Rogers in Nelson on Feb. 27. The Wolves had two strong showings at the championships, which were compressed into a one-day tournament with each team playing twice. Coming in as the fourth seed and having to go through a

two-game qualifier on Feb. 25, GFSS faced the host and top seed L.V. Rogers Bombers in the first game. The Queen City squad had not lost a single game all season to a West Kootenay team and had beaten GFSS by 33 points two weeks before. After falling behind by 10 points early, the Wolves fought back with some strong passing and solid defence to cut the Nelson lead to 14-12 early in the second quarter. The Bombers made a couple of lay-ups off steals and went up 23-

16 at half and eventually pulled away for the 49-35 win to advance to the final. Alyssa Makortoff and Veronica Bolton led the Wolves with eight points each, while Stoochnoff added six. L.V. Rogers went on to thrash Trail’s J.L. Crowe in the final to win the West Kootenay title. GFSS had to bounce back from their semifinal to face a young but tough Mount Sentinel team from South Slocan. The Wolves were able to weather the storm and hold on

for the 30-26 win led by nine points from Chloe Skerritt and seven from Makortoff. “We got up by a lot early but just couldn’t finish them off,” said Wolves coach Craig Lindsay. The tournament capped off a season where the GFSS junior girls went from one win last season to a very solid 14-win, eight-loss season. With five Grade 9s all showing improvement and contributing all season, next year’s junior squad is in very good shape, said Lindsay.

Bruins midget hockey team captures league title STAFF

Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks Bruins midget hockey team may have been undermanned, but they were not overwhelmed as the club overcame numerical adversity and won the league title. With only 10 skaters and one goalie, the Bruins beat out six other clubs—most teams had more than 15 skaters—and came in first in their league

games, and then won the West Kootenay Minor Hockey League midget title last weekend. The Bruins played in the league playoffs in Rossland Feb. 28-March 2 where the seven league teams showed up hungry to win the coveted league championship banner. They played with a lot of “heart and compassion,” said one team official, and made it through the semi finals and onto

the final game “where it was a nail biter of a game” against Trail. Grand Forks fought hard against Greater Trail number two in the final match for the first 48 minutes and there was no scoring, then Grand Forks got the lead and the first goal when Tyler Coupland scored—with assists going to Cavin Barwick and Julian Jmayoff. “A few of the parents in the stands had a sigh of relief and

shed a few tears, but the game wasn’t over. They still had 12 minutes of ice left in the third period, and Trail was not giving up,” read a release from the Bruins.

After the first goal the game got a bit heated and a few players were ejected, but that didn’t stop the Bruins from sealing the deal with four minutes left on a goal

Soccer registration kicks into gear CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Though there is snow on the ground and chilly temperatures in the air, it’s not too early to think about soccer. The Boundary Youth Soccer Association (BYSA) is already full swing into registration with over 250 kids already registered. But it’s certainly not too late to get signed up for the most popular sport in the world. Ian Mitchell, communications director for Boundary Youth Soccer, said there are several reasons for soccer’s popularity locally, the biggest one being that it’s inexpensive. “All you really need is some

shin pads for the younger kids,” he said. “Cleats are optional, but shin pads are mandatory for safety.” Mitchell said the association tries to keep league fees as cheap as possible. “We also help people with subsidies if cost is an issue,” he added. “We have a policy that every kid plays. So even if they don’t qualify for a subsidy we’ll find a way to let them play.” Mitchell said another big reason BYSA is so popular is that the focus is on fun and development first, and not so much on the competitive aspect of the sport. The BYSA covers an area from Christina Lake to past Rock Creek and everything in between. The associa-

tion runs both spring and fall soccer leagues. Mitchell said that although pre-registration and registration has ended, they are still having late registration. The cost is now $120 per child with discounts for more than one child from the same family. The association has leagues in U7 (under seven years of age), U9, U11, U13 and U16. Opening day for the league is April 6 with a kick-off event. Each team practices once a week and plays on Sundays at fields around the Boundary. He said BYSA is still looking for coaches for the upcoming season. Anyone interested can call 250-443-5045 or email boundarysoccer@gmail.com.

Special Olympics Grand Forks has been practicing ringette at Perley Elementary School on Wednesday nights. Their coach, Derek Taylor, has been working them hard and having some fun with the athletes in attendance. This year they have hosted a Special Olympics team from Trail and played the Grand Forks Border Bruins at Gospel Chapel on Feb. 20. It was a fast and heated game and much fun was had by all the participants, said Arlene Vanderniet, team spokesperson. The score was 12-9 for Special Olympics. The Border Bruins did a fundraiser for the Special Olympics at their game on Sunday, Feb. 22 that was greatly appreciated. Last week Special Olympics athletes played in Trail, part of the practice before attending Special Olympic regionals at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby on March 29-31.

The Wolves made it to the final of the West Kootenay championships for the third straight year. GFSS, which hosted the play-off tournament on Feb. 26, beat Stanley Humphries Secondary from Castlegar in the semi-final to get there. However, the Wolves were unable to beat J.L. Crowe from Trail in the final and had to settle for second place. Coach Terry Nuyten was impressed with the competitive nature of the team, which was undefeated through the regular season, and their good attitudes. “The girls played really hard and have a good future if they continue to play,” added Nuyten.

Quote of the WeeK:

Human Dignity has gleamed only now and then and here and there, in lonely splendor, throughout the ages, a hope of the better men, never an achievement of the majority. ~ James Thurber (1894 - 1961)

Activities fit for a break in spring

Spring break swim lessons are scheduled during the week of March 17-21. Your child can earn their next level in just one week.

Residents celebrate anniversary of independence CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Habitat for Humanity has always been about helping people in the community who need it. Just over one year ago, the local Boundary Habitat chapter got together and decided to build a house for several local special needs adults. The house is a seven-plex near downtown which allows the residents to have their own apartment while also having a common area to socialize in. “There’s seven of us and there’s two floors,” said Chris Caruso, one of the residents. “There’s four on the top floor and three of us on the bottom floor. We have our own apartments and there’s a common area as well,” he added. “We have our own kitchen and bathroom and everything.” The seven-plex was completed in November of 2012 and the guys moved in shortly

after. The fellows celebrated their own anniversary at the place last November with a get-together with family and friends. The complex is conveniently located near downtown and allows the men to be independent, but the formation of the building makes it easy to socialize as well. “All of us guys know each other,” said Caruso. “It’s nice to have my space but we can hang out as well. It’s close to downtown so we can walk there. I’m also close to my parents who are just a short walk up the hill.” Ray Hanson, chair of the board for Habi-

tat Humanity West Boundary (HHWB), said the idea for the house came about from the families of the men involved. “The parents and guardians of these young men were concerned about their future with regards to housing and affordability,” he said. “So they convinced the board at that time and Rick (Friesen, executive director for HHWB) that they would like to see a complex build for these young men.” Friesen said that this is the first house they’ve built that has not been for a family. He believes it may be

If Roses grow in Heaven, Lord pick a bunch for us, Place them in our loved ones arms and tell her they’re from us. Tell her we love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while.

Thank you & God bless you all

Mary Favell When Mary Favell passed away peacefully at Hardy View Lodge on February 7, 2014, this world lost an extraordinary and radiantly loving soul. She was born in Pass Creek to William and Polly Derhousoff November 10, 1925, the eldest of five children. In 1940 the family moved to Grand Forks where Mary met and wed William Soroka. They had five children, and lived on military bases across Canada. In 1969, Mary returned with her two youngest sons to Grand Forks where she spent most of the rest of her life. For a while, Mary worked at the Yale Hotel, and also at the Frontier restaurant, where she was valued as an excellent cook. Mary was predeceased by her brother, Peter Derhousoff; her son Victor Soroka; and her sister, Anne (Leonard) Barisoff. Mary is survived by four children; Eileen Cole, Tom (Laurie) Soroka, Dave (Nora) Soroka, and Ken (Laureen) Soroka; 8 grandchildren, Deirdre, Amelia, Anya, Peter, Stepan, October, Orion, and Tyler; 9 great-grandchildren, Sabrina, Michael, Katrina, Hannah, Andrew, Megan, Grayson, Reagan and Raini; and 3 great-great-grandchildren, Payton, Logan, and Rylee. She is also survived by a brother John (Lucy) Derhousoff of Castlegar and a sister Olga (Ron) Mix of Grand Forks. Mary is also fondly remembered by a much larger circle of family and others who basked in her quiet devotion, her selfless generosity, her gentle but penetrating insights, her poetic expressiveness, and her brilliant sense of humor. Mary’s life was lived completely for her family, who enjoyed her wonderful cooking in her tiny welcoming house, snuggled under the afghans and wool quilts she made, and wore out many slippers which she crocheted for everyone. Mary loved to watch hockey with her family, and to send huge bags of sandwiches for river floaters to enjoy on the Granby and Kettle. This beautiful, humble woman led a simple life of work and service, read classic English literature and popular mysteries, loved quiet walks to public libraries, and sang melodically while ironing clothes. She claimed that the swimming waters at GF City Park were “heavenly”, and had an almost musical laugh that echoes forever in our hearts. A service was held for Mary at the Grand Forks Funeral Home on February 15, and burial followed at the Doukhobor Cemetery.
