Grand Forks continues on path to neutrality CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

About five years ago Grand Forks, and many other Kootenay communities signed an agreement pledging to be carbon neutral by 2012. That project, the Carbon Neutral Kootenays (CNK) project, is over now and although they city has not completely become carbon neutral, Grand Forks has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions. At the April 7 committee of the whole meeting, Patricia Dehnel gave a presentation on the CNK project. CNK is a project funded by the three regional districts of the Kootenays (East, Central and Boundary) and the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT). The project, which is now finished, helped 28 communities and five First Nations with steps towards being carbon neutral. “The project came together five years ago,” Dehnel told the Gazette. “It was an • See CARBON NEUTRAL page 8

Cusack to undergo second psych evaluation CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Christopher Cusack, the man accused of setting ﬁre to both the Grand Forks and Winnipeg hotels in 2012, appeared in Grand Forks Provincial Court on April 9 for a continuation of his trial. Cusack is charged with two counts of arson in relation to an inhabited property. On Oct. 1, 2013, Cusack’s lawyer, Ken Wyllie, pleaded not guilty on his behalf but did submit an admission of facts. In the admission, Cusack admitted to setting the two ﬁres.

Cusack had been out on bail and living in northern Alberta, but was recently picked up on a warrant and was in custody in Castlegar. In court on April 9, Wyllie asked to submit a psychiatric evaluation from Dr. Hediger dated June 4, 2012. Wyllie argued that according to the report, Cusack could not be found criminally responsible. Prosecutor Lynn Moffat would not consent to the report, stating that it was old and should be updated. Moffat also suggested that Dr. Hediger should be made available for cross-examination. “Why would my friend (Moffat) not want the court to look at the

document?” said Wyllie. Moffat responded that she would prefer a new, fresh perspective on the evaluation. “In my opinion, it’s not helpful to the court.” After some further discussion, the presiding judge, Judge R. Fabbro, asked Wyllie if he was asking for an application for assessment. Wyllie responded by saying he would make an order with new information including the statement of facts. The judge added that Crown can get the report and have an opportunity to cross-examine the psychiatrist. Moffat said the updated evalua-

tion would assist the case and consented to the report. The judge ordered that the evaluation report of Cusack would be completed by Dr. Hedinger at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam on or before May 6 and be available in writing for both the Crown and the defendant. He also said the doctor would receive the statement of facts for the evaluation. Dr. Hedinger would also need to be available for cross-examination when the report is brought into evidence, if it is, said the judge. The trial was adjourned and Cusack was remanded to custody.

My family loves me a lot and doesn’t ask me to do too much, but I always try to make myself useful.

Financial plan heads to final reading CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

$72,000 is budgeted to be funded from surplus. The financial plan includes an increase of $2 per month to water fees which will be used to cover the cost of the watermain break which occurred in late February. According to section 165 of the community charter, a municipality must have a financial plan that is adopted annually, by bylaw, before the annual property tax bylaw is adopted. Section 197 of the community charter requires that each year after adoption of the financial plan but before May 15, a council must, by bylaw, impose property taxes for the year by establishing tax rates. Final reading and adoption of the financial plan is set for the regular city council on April 28.

After some late additions to the financial plan, Grand Forks city council passed third reading of the 2014-18 city financial plan bylaw 1996 at the regular city council meeting on April 7. The motion was brought forward by Coun.Patrick O’Doherty and seconded by Coun. Gary Smith. “I’d like to thank the administrator and staff for working on the financial plan,” said O’Doherty at the meeting. “It’s been one of the more underSteve Chambers, Pierre Peron, Master Carver Dave Bevan, Fil Mauro, Cheryl Ahrens, Sean Chamstandable financial plans that I’ve bers, Sharon Peron and Marilyn Paul spent a beautiful Sunday at the Boundary Woodworkers Guild seen,” added Mayor Brian Taylor. on Donaldson Drive learning to carve a chain out of a block of wood.

It’s all good

Like many things, the definition of carbon neutral changes depending on who’s asking and who’s answering. One thing is certain, people didn’t care too much about their carbon footprint 10 or 20 years ago. This is all pretty new and is likely a reflection of the whole ‘global warming/climate change’ uproar in the 1990s. Certainly being carbon neutral is a lofty and great objective now and in 2008 when the Carbon Neutral Kootenays (CNK) project began. Grand Forks was one of several communities to sign to CNK with the goal of being carbon neutral by 2012. That wording changed to working towards being carbon neutral. Although in truth, being carbon neutral is really just about paying a set amount of “carbon offsets” to some “green” project for the pollution you make. Originally, Grand Forks, as well as many other Kootenay communities, agreed to pay their carbon offsets to the Darkwoods project through the Pacific Carbon Trust. Just the name Darkwoods sounds like an evil corporation from a 1990s action movie. In reality, Darkwoods is a 55,000 hectare chunk of conservancy land near Creston. The Pacific Carbon Trust program has since been eliminated. In the end, the City of Grand Forks chose not to send their carbon offsets to Darkwoods and instead kept and will continue to keep it themselves for their own green projects down the road. Regardless of how the city got there, they have definitely taken steps towards reducing their carbon footprint. That can only be good for the environment and the residents of Grand Forks.

But which schools make the best farmers?! Second Opinion JIM HOLTZ I noticed that Peter Cowley at the Fraser Institute has published the latest report card for secondary schools. In interviews I’ve had with him, Peter has always focused on the report card’s ability to compare schools with similar socio-economic data, parent’s average income for example. He plays down the fact that the rankings always show the wealthy, private schools at the top, and the poor rural schools at the bottom. He merely says that when teachers protest the rankings as unfair, they are really just making excuses for their inability to inspire and motivate the students. There are smart children everywhere, he says,

and if the public schools and their teachers were doing a good job, that would be reflected in the rankings. Peter reminds me a bit of a retired farmer I knew in Saskatchewan a few years back, Derwood “Dusty” Musburger. Like Peter, he had spent years developing a system to determine which schools were the best. Unlike Peter’s system, though, Dusty’s did not take into account the percentage of students going on to university, or the percentage taking government exams, or how many years it took them to graduate, or even how high their grades were. “Irrelevant,” said Dusty. “It’s all about which schools make the best farmers. Acreage is what matters. And yield! Who produces the most grain per acre. The schools that teach the kids who end up with the top farms are the top schools! ” Dusty kept all the informa-

tion about yield and acreage and annual prices in a large notebook. “I record it all,” he said. “Who bought what, sold what, grew what and how much. Plus, what town they grew up in and what school they went to. When I plug all that information into my secret agrorithm....” You mean algorithm? I asked. “I do not! It’s my own ‘agrorithm;’ a few calculations, and ‘presto,’ out comes the ranking for each school.” I was curious to learn what school had the highest rank in all of South Western Saskatchewan. “Piny Creek,” Dusty said immediately. “No question. Their score is 9.3495 out of 10. Average for the whole area is only 6.2236.” I was going to ask for an explanation of how Dusty arrived at those very impressive sounding numbers, but instead blurted that I thought the students in tiny Piny

Creek, from, if my memory served me correctly, a grand total of four families, might have an advantage since they were raised on farms, encouraged to be farmers by their families and would likely inherit their families’ farms and not have to start from scratch. “Horse hockey!” Dusty said. “Statistics don’t lie and Piny Creek has a statistical record without equal! You can’t beat 9.3495!” I was curious what school had the lowest ranking. “Don’t remember the name,” Dusty said. “One of those ‘Academies’ in Saskatoon where they all wear blazers and brag about college entrance. They got a .00442. Only farmers they ever graduated were two guys in 2008 who planted 900 square feet of medical marijuana in a greenhouse outside of Kindersley. Lasted six months till the hail hit.

to the editor

Crisis a deliberate ploy by NATO Letter to the Editor: Yes, there is a crisis in the Ukraine but it is not because of anything Russia has done; rather, it is a deliberate ploy by NATO to create an excuse to increase its military threat toward Russia. Russia did not invade the Crimea—they have had the Sevastapol Naval Base there forever and since the population of that area is predominately of Russian descent, it is not strange that they voted to join Russia rather than accept going the EU route with the Ukraine and end up under the thumb of the World Bank like Greece and Ireland, etc. The western powers, including Canada under Stephen Harper, have distorted the information regarding Russian actions to the extent it is nothing but lies that are so obvious as to be ridiculous to an unbiased observer.

We know about the hold NATO has on our Conservative government. When NATO says Canada needs more warships and warplanes and military bases in the Caribbean, Harper says how many, and jumps right to it. I expect that from Stephen Harper but I am shocked by the media swallowing the cocktail of imaginary truths but even worse is the acceptance by the opposition parties (both Liberal and NDP) of the false messages against Russia. They are spineless and useless and are wasting the votes that elected them. Stephen Harper does not speak for me when he acts as front man for his NATO bosses in their quest for Russia’s resources for their bosses—the New World Order. Jack Blower, Grand Forks

Show councillors what standards you want

Letter to the Editor: “If you don’t let me put a water meter in your home, then I’m going to put one outside your home—and I’m going to charge you for it.” Does a city have the authority to add additional water infrastructure like this and then charge individual residents for it? On Monday, April 8, 2014, Grand Forks, B.C. residents learned a few things... They were told that their city council intends to sign a contract to install water meters into approximately 90 per cent of their homes, even though 30 per cent of eligible voters (796/2,653) have signed a petition stating that they want town hall meetings to discuss the matter, and then to vote on it in a referendum. (It’s also very likely the number of signatures would have been higher on the petition if more neighbourhoods had been canvased.) When the council was asked if it was financially risky to proceed with signing such a contract, they said no. They said that for those who didn’t let them into their homes, that they

would install pit meters on the edge of their property and then charge them the increased cost for doing so (approximately $600). One resident whom I spoke with questioned whether this was intimidation, coercion, extortion or a combination thereof. Is this the way we wish city councils to treat citizens? Can citizens’ rights to not have something forced into their homes be respected? ... without the threat of being charged if they don’t comply? What standards do citizens want their city councils to act by? Do they want a more democratic approach for issues related to the inside of their homes? If citizens are wishing for something different from what is happening, what can they do? They can let their city councillors know now by telling them at council meetings, phoning them and e-mailing them. Also, they can show them what standards they want by voting carefully come election time this November. Donna Semenoff, Grand Forks

Kudos to city staff for resolving situation

Letter to the Editor: There has just been (approximately 3 p.m., Friday, April 11) a potentially dangerous electric utility outage in the vicinity of 21st St. and 76th Ave. (across the street from the apartment building and mailboxes, just south of 76th). A very large piece of material (looks like a stand-alone awning) with a lot of metal poles attached had been blown by the wind. The material got hung up on the overhead electric wires and wires leading to two homes. City hall reception desk was called immediately. They in turn tracked down the electric crew which showed up in a matter of minutes.

By then the material and poles had disengaged from the overhead main wire (was still hooked onto to wires leading to homes), and the metal poles at the bottom of the material were then touching the ground. The electric crew was able to dislodge the material and poles from the wires, then drove away to work their magic to restore electricity to local residents. Kudos to city staff for efficiently and safely resolving this situation, especially so close to the end of a work day and work week. Thank you. Sylvia Treptow, Grand Forks

Will ALR survive? Once upon a time in the province of British Columbia Canada where agricultural land is in short supply a premier and his cabinet listened to the concerns of farmers and passed Order-in-Council (OIC) 4483 under the Environment and Land Use Act, imposing a land ‘freeze’ that prohibited the subdivision or the use of agricultural land for anything but the cultivation of agricultural crops. A second OIC defined the ‘freeze’ as affecting all parcels of two acres or more. In 1973 the Land Commission Act and regulations were passed and an arms-length, independent Land Commission (LC) was appointed to administer the provincial zone called Rousing the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). While there have been minor changthe Rabble es to the Agricultural Land Reserve Act ROY RONAGHAN over four decades it has served residents of B.C. well and it has remained unique in the world. Fast forward to 2013-2014 and a unique piece of legislation was part of the government’s core review and changes were made. Under the new legislation, the ALR has been divided into two zones. Zone One includes south Vancouver Island, the lower Fraser Valley, and the Okanagan. Zone Two includes the Kootenays, central B.C. and the north. Different regulations will apply in each zone. Six regional panels, three in zone one and three in zone two, will make routine decisions about the use of agricultural land. The panels will be comprised of people who live within the panel’s region. In Zone Two, “value added” operations such as food processing will be considered. Would the rodeo facility with indoor arenas, a campsite, chuckwagon track, restaurant and offices proposed in 2012 by a farmer near Fort St. John qualify as value added? The commission refused the application, saying there was no evidence that the agricultural land was the only area where the project could be built. The government claims, “Improvements to the ALC that will protect farmland in British Columbia and maintain the ALC’s independence.” Wasn’t the protection of farm land always the objective? In 1973 the mandate was to “preserve agricultural land for farm use”; and to encourage the establishment and maintenance of family farms. Approximately 3.3 per cent of the landmass in British Columbia is suitable for raising crops so the preservation and protection of every acre is critical if food security is a consideration. Why did the government decide to make the changes to the ALR? Could it have been influenced by a report published in 2009 by the Fraser Institute called “The B.C. Agricultural Land Reserve: A Critical Analysis”? The author, Diane Katz, is a research fellow with the institute. The idea of food security is disputed by Katz and it is clear in her report that she has a bias toward industrial agriculture and the existing system for growing food anywhere in the world and moving it huge distances to consumers. Katz’s comments about the ALR are indeed worrisome. She states, “The very premise of the ALR is anachronistic. Advances in agronomy and biotechnology have dramatically increased yields, thereby easing demand for farmland. For example, reflecting land substitution, B.C. greenhouse area grew 305 per cent between 1986 and 2006.” Local food production has no place in Katz’s world. “The existence of the land reserve is largely based on the notion that locally grown agricultural products are inherently healthier, safer, and more environmentally friendly, and that they are a necessary component of a reliable and secure food supply. This belief is known as ‘localism’. But a simple adherence to ‘food miles’ does not account for the variety of ‘inputs’, such as energy, irrigation and fertilizer, that are necessary to grow food.” Given the passage of Bill 24, can we look forward to 40 more years of agricultural land protection? Wendell Berry, a Kentucky farmer stated, “We must, I think, be prepared to see, and to stand by, the truth: that the land should not be destroyed for any reason.” Given the current government’s approach, one can only wonder whether the ALR will survive.

to the editor

We can’t afford meters AND free access Letter to the Editor: Most citizens simply do not wish to have any kind of water meter forced on them, nor do they need the proposed, invasive, costly in-house renovational construction of meters in, on or near their residences or property. This meter business is not ‘voluntary’ at all because, should citizens refuse residential installation, the city plans to penalize such citizens by mandatory installation of a ‘pit meter’ (on city property, billing all costs to said citizen) which will cost each property owner at least $600 and, in some cases, over twice that amount initially with ongoing personal upkeep costs for these mandatory, cityowned devices. One lady called this by-law ‘extortion’. Educated citizens who understand the dangers of emissions from Medusa meters, smart meters and/or WiFi, prefer family safety over ‘convenience’ in a toxic environ-

ment and no citizen wants to be harassed (as has commonly happened in other metered communities) by increased costs, legal costs, replacement costs, etc. when querying the validity of a faulty or excessively high meter reading. Most citizens do not want the increased costs and loss of privacy from meter inspectors exercising this proposed new right of “trespass without liability” and are becoming concerned about the draconian rules and regulations that other communities are now forced to endure once the meter trap was sprung in them. After time, meters will need replacement and most citizens do not wish to pay ongoing protection, upkeep and replacement costs for meters which they did not want in the first place. A majority of citizens thought that they only had to sign a petition for civil servants on staff and council to pay attention. Some are appalled at the stub-

born refusal to give credibility to signatures from half the voters of Grand Forks. Somebody is wrong here. The originally proposed installation schedule for 2015 was not adhered to, so many citizens are questioning the logic behind the sudden rush for this quick installation before a referendum could be taken! Many citizens are hoping that there will be an honest re-evaluation of all the facts and that motivation behind this newlyproposed updating of bylaws would be carefully examined by citizens before allowing implementation. We need a new reservoir and the costs of building one would actually be less than the personal costs that the city is proposing that citizens should pay for meters. In a couple of years we will have either water meter control or less costly, free access to blue gold, the most valuable commodity in the world! We cannot afford both. James Hamilton, Grand Forks

Put meters on the ballot or pay costs Letter to the Editor: I have just a couple words about the comments from our Mayor Taylor in the water meter piece in the April 2 paper. I really like his comment about Coun. Wirischagin’s proposal or motion was a waste of public money.

I seem to remember some years ago the city council hired some outfit to tell them how well they are doing. We may as well waste some more public money and have a ballot box vote on water meters, or hire some outfit to install underground irrigation into our yards—with the city to

We’re all part of web Letter to the Editor: It is again time when all those “weed” killers are moved to the forefront on the store shelves. Please remember that this is a product like many others that relies on you, the consumer, to bring profit to the corporations. Consequently, the whole truth is not necessarily in the script. PAN (Pesticide Action Network) has extensive toxicology reports online, with details on effects to creatures of water and

air. Roundup was once touted as safer than table salt. Basically if you have to put it way up there out of reach of pets and children, it is most likely not good for you, your pets, your grandchildren, or any unfortunate creature that happens by your yard. Remember, we are all part of the web of life, whether there to support it or destroy it. Angelica Herlihy, Grand Forks

Carbon neutral amazing leadership example by the three regional districts and the CBT. They came together in response to the provincial government’s climate action charter.” The climate action charter was a voluntary agreement mayors were asked to sign which committed them to be carbon neutral in their operations by 2012. That goal was eventually scaled down to be working towards being carbon neutral. “The carbon neutral community project was just a great example of collaboration supporting all of the local governments so each one didn’t have to basically invent the wheel,” said Dehnel. “We were able to determine how to actually work towards being carbon neutral by 2012 overall.” At the council meeting, Dehnel told council, “It’s a celebration today talking about the fiveyear project. It’s community versus corporate. It’s all about the corporate emissions. What the local government is responsible for in terms of buildings, fleets, recreation facilities and infrastructures.” Dehnel said Grand Forks has done very well at reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, although she does add that in smaller communities the statistics are not completely reliable. In 2008, the base (first) year of the project, Grand Forks had 414 greenhouse gas emissions compared to 302 in 2013. “That’s really good,” she said. With the Carbon Neutral Kootenays project ending, Dehnel said that communities are now on their own. “We did provide five years of training,” she said. “We hope that the momentum of the project continues and there is some form of working together.” Grand Forks mayor Brian Taylor said he is pleased with how the city has been able to reduce its greenhouse emissions. “We’ve done fairly well as far as our targets although nobody is expected to reach the carbon neutral targets that were originally set,” he said. Taylor said the city has worked hard to reduce its carbon footprint. “We’ve been conscious of it for the last few years,” he said. “I think we’ve been pretty diligent in terms of looking at where we can save. We’ve won some awards. We put on these adaptations to motors to allow variable speed to save us the use of electricity. So we’ve gone carbon neutral there.”

Taylor adds that the city has gone to great lengths to insulate buildings efficiently, and purchase more efficient vehicles. “We just can’t go out and afford to buy all new vehicles but as we’ve replaced things we’ve looked for vehicles with greater gas efficiency,” he said. With the province shutting down the controversial Pacific Carbon Trust and the Darkwoods project, the City of Grand Forks will be able to keep their own carbon offsets. “We are going to continue to put money away in the carbon fund, the fund we set up,” said Taylor. “We’re looking at projects where we can apply that money and have even bigger savings.” The city of Grand Forks has also released their Climate Action Revenue Incentive Public (CARIP) report for 2013. The report, which was compiled by Wayne Kopan, building inspector and bylaw officer, details the city’s community-wide actions for climate action as well as the carbon neutral progress report. The report states that the annual corporate emissions for Grand Forks was 289 tonnes of CO2e. The report also states, “Through a resolution of council, we set up a climate action reserve into with the city has contributed equivalent offset funding of $8,019 for 2012 and $7,245 for 2013. These amounts represent the offsets claimed in the CARIP report for the city.”

POLICE BRIEF Car impounded

On April 12 at 11:35 p.m. during a roadside check of a driver driving a 2002 grey Oldsmobile Alero, police determined that the driver was prohibited from driving. The vehicle was pulled over on Highway 3 near Tower Road. “He was arrested and released on an appearance notice for prohibited driving under section 95 of the Motor Vehicle Act,” said Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. “His vehicle was impounded.” There was also a small quantity of drugs found in the car; however, no charges were laid in that regard. The driver was a 43-year-old male from Castlegar.

Report Card ranks schools JIM HOLTZ

For the Grand Forks Gazette

The Fraser Institute has issued its Report Card on B.C.’s Secondary Schools 2014. The report card attempts to compare schools across the province by collecting data about provincial exam results, school issued grades, graduation rates, failure rates, differences in scores between males and females, as well as data about the socio-economic conditions in the area from which the schools draw their students. The data is analyzed and formulae are applied to reduce all the data to a single number out of 10 that makes overall comparisons of individual schools possible. Louise Bayles, principal of Boundary Central Secondary School in Midway, thinks it is unfortunate that the Fraser Institute’s report card seems to shape public perception of school performance.

SOCIAL OPPORTUNITY (L-R) Laurie Grant, Stacey Cassidy, Selena Denenoff, Jennifer Edwards (with Hudson) and Tyler Morris were among those at the breakfast mixer Friday morning at Community Futures. The event was put on by the Canadian Cancer Society and gave residents a chance to meet and mingle and have a scrumptious breakfast which was provided by the Wooden Spoon. Craig Lindsay photo

“The comparison is essentially based on provincial exam marks and aspects that relate to them such as graduation rate,” Bayles said. “I don’t believe that these statistics give a clear and honest picture of a student’s secondary experience. You really have to take into consideration as well aspects of secondary school student experience such as sports and extra-curricular involvement, leadership, school involvement and the like. There are so many aspects for comparison; it hardly seems appropriate to examine only one, such as provincial exam marks, and make performance statements based on this. “If the students leaving my school are confident, have strong career and personal goals, do their best, have an idea of what being a good citizen is and are kind, thoughtful people.....then we have done our best on their behalf!” Because the method of analysis is statistical and requires broad-based numerical data, the Fraser Institute acknowledges on its website that it is unable to compare schools based on their ability to educate students in the Fine Arts or in the trades. Nor does it evaluate any of the work done by schools in the areas of health, fitness, community involvement and support, counselling, locally developed courses or any electives. This year’s rating for Boundary Central was 5.1; for Grand Forks Secondary, it was 5.8. Grand Forks Secondary School principal Scott Stewart commented, “All things considered, we are doing well when compared to similar schools throughout the Kootenay region. This can be attributed to the type of personalized service our staff provides for all students. “More importantly, our feedback from students suggests they feel connected to the school and this generally results in good performance on assessments like exams.” For more on the report card, go to www.compareschoolrankings.org.

Threats net Libby probation CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Gordon W. Libby appeared in Grand Forks Provincial Court on April 9 and pleaded guilty to a charge of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm. Originally, Libby pleaded not guilty but through his lawyer Mr. Westcott, changed his plea to guilty. Judge Fabbro stated that Libby, a 32-yearold male, was assisting a friend with collecting

a debt from a third party when he uttered the threat. Crown counsel Lynn Moffat asked for a suspended sentence, probation and a non-contact order which Westcott had no problem with. The judge agreed and sentenced Libby to probation for one year and no contact, direct or indirect, with the third party. Libby was also ordered to go to Grand Forks RCMP for a DNA order within 14 days. No victim fine was imposed as Libby was determined by the judge to be a hardship case.

NOTICE OF WATER MAIN FLUSHING The Water Utility Department advises residents that we will be flushing water mains throughout the City during the months of April and May. Regular annual flushing is an important component of a comprehensive water management program. Flushing water mains are done as part of a scheduled preventative maintenance program to remove sediment that gradually deposits in the pipes and helps maintain water quality in our system. Flushing will take place between the hours of 5:00 am and 3:30 pm. As we flush your area, you may experience a temporary reduction in water pressure and/or discoloration of the water. These conditions are normal during flushing activities and are only temporary. Please check your drinking, cooking, and laundry water before using. To clear your water lines, simply turn on your cold water tap or outside hose bib and let it run until the water is clear (approx 15 min. or more) Utility crews continue their water main flushing program to ensure the distribution system is refreshed and healthy. If you have any questions or if you experience any persistent water quality problems as a result of this maintenance program, please let us know at info@grandforks.ca or call Public Works at 250-442-4148.

AnnuAl Spring Sweeping progrAm

Our annual Spring Sweeping Program is scheduled to begin in late March and continue through to April cleaning up winter sand, dirt, and leaves accumulated on roadways, sidewalks, and boulevards. Regular removal of debris is necessary to prevent storm water drains from clogging, keeps our roads safe, protects the environment and improves the appearance of the City of Grand Forks. Sweeping will begin in the downtown core, and progress to arterial roads and residential streets. To help us provide the best service possible, residents are reminded to:

• Keep vehicles off residential streets to allow the sweeper to do a proper job. • Place garbage containers and recycling away from the road on collections days. • Keep basketball and hockey nets off the road and far enough back from the curb. • Be understanding while street sweeping is underway, there may be some noise and dust. • Be patient. Cold and rainy weather prevents our sweeper from operating. The City of Grand Forks appreciates the co-operation from the residents and businesses. Any question or comments may be directed to the Public Works office at (250) 442-4148 or info@grandforks.ca.

The City of Grand Forks will be erecting five bat houses throughout town in hopes of using a natural method to control pest populations. “We’ve already scouted out locations,” said Coun. Gary Smith. “Myself and a couple of the city works crew and Jenny Coleshill will be getting together to put those up.” Mayor Brian Taylor said the bats are mainly used to control the mosquito population. “We spend a lot of money each year on mosquito control, on spraying,” he said. “Even though it’s a spray that doesn’t really pose any danger to the community, it’s still trying to control it with a chemical application. What we’re looking at this point is to start a bat house program as a first step.” Bats are a healthy part of any eco-system, Smith added. “Encouraging a few colonies within the community is a great idea,” he said. This is the first time bat houses will be used by the City of Grand Forks. The program has been used in other B.C. communities to great success.

Easter Egg Hunt

City Park will be the site of the 2014 Easter Egg Hunt. The event, which is sponsored by River Valley Community Church, goes from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 19 and is for kids under eight years of age. “We did it last year and it went really well, so we wanted to do it again,” said co-organizer Cindy Anthony. “We’ve got some animals coming out for a little petting zoo. We had over 100 kids come out last year.” Also going on at the park for the event is face painting for the kids, a puppet show, free cotton candy and games. Christina Lake Welcome Centre will be holding their own Easter Egg Hunt on April 20 at 11 a.m. Donations for the hunt are currently being collected at the welcome centre.

Jeans Day

On Thursday, April 24, 2014 thousands of people across British Columbia and the Yukon will proudly wear their favourite pair of jeans for Jeans Day™ in support of BC Children’s Hospital. The hospital hopes to raise over $1 million through the sale of Jeans Day™ buttons for $5 and lapel pins for $20, which are available at Overwaitea Foods. Since 1991 Jeans Day™ has raised more than $16.8 million for BC Children’s Hospital. Money raised this year will go to the Excellence in Child Health Fund, which supports the most urgent health care needs at BC Children’s Hospital. Visit the Jeans Day™ website at www.jeansday.ca for more information or to register.

Youth appointed to B.C. board SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Christina Gateway CDA (Gateway) employee Cavan Gates was appointed to the board of the B.C. Rural Network Feb. 18 as a Youth representative. This will allow Christina Lake to network directly with other rural communities and to see how they balance social, environmental and economic development. Gateway is currently working on projects to that end including a business program to bridge the digital divide and an innovative community Venture Capital Corporation. The Boundary faces similar challenges to the rest of rural B.C., especially low employment and youth outmigration. Gateway is tackling these headon with a strategic plan that revolves around community

economic development. This differs from traditional economic development because it balances community needs with economic growth rather than prioritizing the latter. As a partnership between Christina Lake’s community organizations, Gateway puts community values ﬁrst when initiating projects.

CAVAN GATES

The B.C. Rural Network (BCRN) is a “coalition of organizations, communities, and individuals who share a commitment to building the capacity of British Columbia to develop responses to rural and remote community issues.” The main venue for their work is the B.C. Rural Summit coming up June 13-15 in Kaslo, B.C. People and groups from all over B.C. will meet to network, learn, and discuss current rural problems and opportunities. Christina Lake will be well represented at the summit with a party from Gateway presenting a workshop and learning from others. Of particular relevance to the Lake are the sections on “Project Comeback”, a BCRN project that is researching how to facilitate youth seeing rural communities as places they can live and work.

Community

Grads gearing up for their finale JACLYN SALTER

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Grad 2014 is shaping up to be one of the greatest yet! With all of our fundraisers, we’d like to extend a massive thank you to everyone in the community who has supported our efforts, whether from buying chocolate, buying at the craft fair, or attending the borscht feed. Tonight, April 16, is our

spaghetti fundraiser, so if you’re hankering for a good meal, this will be the place to get it. We’ll be serving from 5 to 7 p.m., and you’ll get your choice of vegetarian or meat sauce spaghetti, garlic bread, a drink and dessert. Definitely a good deal at $12 for adults and $6 for children! Also upcoming will be manure sales. Keep your eyes (and nose) peeled for this fundraiser, done with sup-

port from Jerseyland Organics. If you’re a gardener, or just hoping your flower bed will be bigger and brighter this year, this is definitely the way to do it. We would like to thank Buy-Low Foods once again for their huge help in making our borscht feed such a huge success. This was one of the most successful fundraisers grads have ever seen, and we’d really like to thank

everyone that came out and supported us. It all really makes a difference. We’d also like to thank all of the different community events that have so graciously offered to allow us to share in their own events. The grads this year have been very busy running concessions and helping set up or serve at different events. We really appreciate the generosity of the community!

Thumbs Down to the day of the farmers’ market Thumbs down to the organizers of the Farmers’ Market—could you please have it on a Saturday instead of Friday? Thumbs up to the Christina Lake fire department for their speedy response to a call regarding the gas smell at the Community Hall (from the furnace—it’s fixed now) and for shutting off the gas; Thumbs down to FortisBC who took 50 minutes to arrive at the community hall from the time they were called. We evacuated the building and did our exercise class in the rose garden. Lesson learned—call the fire department. Thumbs down to the folks at the Christina Lake Community Hall who decided to cut down the two very healthy, wonderfully big old pine trees beside the rose garden. Their reasoning? The trees made a mess. Needles in the eavestrough? What a waste of really good trees. Someone got some very good wood and while he was cutting up the very healthy, very big trunks an eagle flew over, seemingly looking for a perch. Thumbs down to city homeowners who own dozens of cats that roam the neighbourhood to do their business. Thumbs up to the city works for spray painting the base

of the stop signs at the “new” intersection down from Selkirk. Thumbs down to the condition of the roads in and around the city of Grand Forks. Thumbs down to people who let their dogs bark at nothing for hours until people around them go numb and the neighbourhood is stressed to the max. We have at least four dogs in our area that do this, all day and most days. We already have the mill noise to deal with and now this too. No one wants to make enemies of their neighbours but this is one thing that will cause bad feelings. Thumbs up to Keith Kuromi, Mike Phelan and Scott Stewart for taking the GFSS senior boys rugby team to Victoria for the Claremont Secondary Scrumfest. It was an invaluable experience for them, and they had a great time. 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.

Don’t let fines keep you away—there are none In one of my January columns I mentioned that the library had eliminated overdue fines (for a one-year trial period)— in addition to that, we have erased everyone’s prior overdue fines from their accounts. We’re giving everyone a fresh start. If you haven’t been here in years, come back! We’ve missed you! And now, let me tell you all about what’s happening at the library these days:

Sales have been strong for The Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel would be a very easy choice if it were not only Jeep but the entire Chrysler group. Freshness has been into about $50,000, not $58,000. If you drive a lot or tow, the diesel might each new vehicle and this latest 2014 EcoDiesel version is another exbe worth it, but as it stands now the already capable and luxurious ample. For this model year, the Grand Cherokee gets a refreshed front gasoline versions are less expensive and come with all the regular and rear, plus interior tweaks and a thrifty diesel under the hood. Grand Cherokee goodness. ~ zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca Looks The most noticeable updates for 2014 include a thinner front grille, narrower front headlights with LED accents. This really makes the latest model pop; especially when you compare it to the last model. The EcoDiesel option is only available in two trim levels, and this an expensive vehicle. The Overland is the cheapest diesel and it starts at roughly $58,000, $3000 more than a V6 model but the same price as the V8. The top of range Summit diesel starts at $62,000. In comparison, the base VW Touareg diesel starts at $55,000 but most of the other German mid-sized SUVs with a diesel, like the ML from Mercedes or the X5 from BMW also start in the low $60,000 range. Inside One of the biggest changes at Chrysler has been the attention to detail now placed on interior design and refinement. The latest U-connect computer interface is one of the best in the business; many high-end makers could learn a thing or two from Chrysler. The large 8.4-inch screen is one of the biggest on the market and it is very quick to the touch, going from one function to the next is logical and responsive.

Fearing, White perform

Gazette Staff

Although the pair has over 20 albums between them, it was their combined, unique sound the duo brought t o the GEM Theatre Monday, April 7. Playing a few songs from their first album Fearing & White and several from their recent Tea and Confidences, they proved they are indeed “music lifers”, as they say. Accompanied by Calgary drummer Kent Macrae, the pair moved effortlessly from guitar-driven rock numbers to soft ballads. “We are lucky—how we’ve ended up here. It’s a beautiful place to be,” Fearing said as he paused mid-concert to promote sponsorship with World Vision. “It’s not the same for everyone.” Fearing is a multiple Juno Awardwinner who is well-known on the international roots and folk scene through his acclaimed solo performances, as well as for his work with supergroup Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. He currently resides in Halifax, NS. Originally from Belfast, N. Ireland, Andy White has been hon-

Concert honours planet GEORGE BACHMIER

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Grand Forks Choral Society’s fabulous director Kirsten Nicolson and the entire choir are busy rehearsing for the upcoming spring concert titled “Earth, Wind and Choir—Spring Into Song with the Grand Forks Choral Society”. The focus of the music this season is to honour the planet we all call home, and celebrate the earth’s renewal each spring. In keeping with this theme, and to celebrate Earth Day, the Grand Forks Choral Society will continue to “go green”—meaning we will not use extra paper to print programs to give away at the door on performance days. The program

Country starlet returns

will be published in the Gazette (thank you, Gazette!) as well as on the “performances” page of our website, grandforkschoralsociety.ca, where it can be downloaded and printed for those of you who prefer a copy. Thank you for supporting our commitment to do this one small thing for a greater good. As always, there will be special performances by students, soloists, and groups and we are pleased to also feature a live band! Song styles will include Celtic, Gospel, Folk, Latin and even a Spanish song based on an ancient Aztec poem… this will be a performance you don’t want to miss. Tickets for the concert—to be held April 26 and 27— are now on sale at Thistle Pot Gifts and gallery 2 gift shop.

Get your preventative treatment for insects, mites and diseases for your fruit and ornamental trees. Call Gaia Principles IPM Services for an estimate.

Sydney Storie is a student from Rock Creek who applied for, and was accepted on a student exchange sponsored by the Rotary Club of Grand Forks. We asked Sydney to tell us a bit about her experience in Brazil (or Brasil, in Portuguese). My mother Pam Storie introduced me to the Rotary program, and the idea of international exchange. As well, a friend of mine, Callie Williamson, went on exchange to Japan. I then began to do some research about Rotary and the Rotary Youth Exchange group. I decided this is what I wanted to do. I applied for the exchange and after several interviews and some paper work, I found that I was accepted to Brasil. I left Canada on July 12, 2013 and landed in São Paulo, Brasil on July 14. Rotary students can choose to do the short-term program which is six months or the long-term which is 12 months. I chose to do the long-term exchange so I will stay 11 months. I am expected to come home in the summer of 2014. I currently live in a small town called Pacaembu. It has a population of around 12,000 and is located about eight hours inland from Sao Paulo. I lived with three host families throughout my exchange, and one residence was actually located inside a prison! My families have been wonderful and helped me become a real “local”. The town has many celebrations and festivities such as rodeos, special BBQs, soccer events and concerts. The exchange program is awesome. It’s not something you can describe in words; you need to be a part of it to understand what it’s like. You are able to travel, meet new friends from around the world, experience different cultures and you are able to learn a new language. I don’t think there is anything more satisfying than this. I have travelled around the world, briefly visiting multiple countries; however, I had never been to Brasil. Brasil has so much more to offer than what people may realize. Brasil is a beautiful country, the food is delicious and the people are very friendly. One thing that has surprised me is how amazing one year on exchange can really change a per-

Quote of the WeeK:

I am a kind of paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy. – J. D. Salinger (1919 - ) Joke of the Week:

A man lives and works in the same building. Every day he takes the elevator from the 10th floor down to the 1st floor where he works. At the end of the day he rides from the 1st floor up to the 7th floor and takes the stairs the rest of the way. Why? He is a dwarf and can’t reach the 10th floor button.

son’s life. It opens up your mind; it makes you a stronger person, and allows you to overcome challenges. There is one phrase that I think truly represents an exchange year: “It’s not a year in your life, but a life in a year.” Being on exchange means you have certain obligations and one of those is attending school. I remember my first day at school, it was overwhelming for me. All my classes were in Portuguese except English class and Spanish class (there are very few people who speak English here). School was very challenging for the first few months because my Portuguese was weak. However, each day I went to school I would learn something new whether it was learning Portuguese phrases, understanding the projects or making new friends; each day helped with my transition. Now that I have been in Brasil for nine months, I am able to understand everything that the teachers say; I am able to do all the work and the tests. I feel as if I’m a real classmate. When I came to Brasil I knew only the basics of Portuguese, I knew how to say hello and goodbye, please and thank you, simple vocabulary that could help me get around. Right now I can understand most words, I can create conversations, I understand school, I am able to speak well and I think I can finally say I am fluent in Portuguese. Near the beginning of my exchange I taught basic English to elementary school students in a more impoverished part of the city. The students enjoyed the opportunity to visit with a foreigner and I enjoyed getting to know the students. Now I am currently volunteering at a veterinarian’s office. I am able to watch surgeries, help customers, bathe animals and assist the vet whenever she needs it. In November, I went on a Rotary trip called “the Grande Viagem”. I travelled to the Amazon and northeastern Brasil on a two-week trip with other International students on a Rotary exchange to Brasil. Going on this trip was one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life. I saw some of the most beautiful beaches, travelled to many towns, explored the cultures, fished for piranhas in the Amazon River, walked through the jungle and met some indigenous people. I have had some of the best experiences here in Brasil, memories that will always be in my heart. If I had a chance to do another exchange I would do it in a heartbeat. I can’t thank Rotary District 5080 enough for letting me have this wonderful opportunity. It has been a life in one year for me. I look forward to sharing my Brasilian adventure with you when I return. – Sydney Storie

That number is expected to double in the next five years as the last of the baby boomers hit 60, the average age of onset. As well, an increasing number are being diagnosed, at an age younger than 55, with Young Onset Parkinson Disease. It is probable that a person, newly diagnosed, will live “well” for a number of years, even many, before becoming disabled. That’s the good news. And as for the bad, well, here is the advice on that one: Take it one day at time and know a lot of really smart people are working towards a cure and on quality of life issues. Get informed. And remember to exercise.

My dad has Parkinson’s. Will I get it, too? Yes. No. Maybe. If your dad has PD and his father did, too, and his sister, then yes, your risk of familial Parkinson’s Disease is higher than the general population. Chances are that some individuals in your family carry one of the identified genes that indicate a pre-disposition toward Parkinson’s. But, even if testing shows that you carry the gene, it does not mean that you will necessarily develop PD. Most people with Parkinson’s have idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease, meaning they carry none of the identified genetic markers.
