Teachers to vote on tentative deal

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A tentative deal has been struck between the BC Teachers’ Federation and the government in the teachers’ strike. Negotiations between representatives from the BCTF and BCPSEA (BC Public School Employee’s Association, the group which bargains for the government with the teachers’ union) and mediator Vince Ready went on until late in the night on Monday. When Ready emerged, he announced the tentative settlement. No further details were given Although it has emerged that teachers would vote Thursday and if agreed, school would likely start Monday. “We don’t have a lot of details,” said Norm Sabourin, president of the Boundary District Teachers’ Association. “There is a tentative deal signed. There were ﬁve days of intense bargaining and in the wee hours of the morning they completed a deal.” When he spoke to the Gazette Tuesday morning, Sabourin said he had only seen a part of the deal and couldn’t comment on the details. “The two sides are still working today banging out the details and then the information will be sent out to the teachers in the province,” he said. “We’ll have to then educate ourselves on the deal and the vote will be on Thursday.” Sabourin expects the results of the teacher’s vote to either accept the deal or not on Thursday night. He further predicted that it would likely take two days to get schools ready, which would mean a likely Tuesday return

‘Texas Randy’ ordered home to U.S. Grand Forks Gazette

A popular local resident is being forced to leave the country after a recent application for residency was turned down. Randy Hedrick, known more as “Texas Randy”, came to Canada 39 years ago and never went back. Although some speculate that he is a draft-dodger, Hedrick said he just came up to the Great White North to visit friends and never went back. He came to Grand Forks in 1978 and hasn’t left since. He will, unfortunately, have to leave by Sept. 28 or risk possible arrest and deportation. “I was hitchhiking through town,” said Hedrick. “I was coming to see friends I’d met in Port Alberni.”

He liked it so much immigrate before. He he decided not to figures he hasn’t been leave.

I asked them what they were going to do and they said I had to go to home.” Hedrick says he was told he wasn’t being deported, which would mean he wouldn’t be able to ever return to Canada. “They said if you leave by such and such a time (Sept. 28) all is good,” he said, “in a year you can apply to return.

POLICE BRIEFS

Garage break in On Sept. 9 at 12:50 p.m. RCMP received a report of a break-in of a garage at Pineview Crescent. The complainant stated that the break-in had occurred the night before, said Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison of the Grand Forks RCMP detachment. “The report stated that the garage was not locked, there was no damage to the door and nothing was taken. The complainant said they heard a noise in the garage. When they went out to check and see what was happening, they saw a person running through the bushes.” There were no other witnesses and no suspects at this time. People should be aware that there is something like this going on around Pine view, said Harrison.

Motorcycle stolen

On Sept. 9, police received a report of a stolen Suzuki DRZ 400 street legal dirt bike. The bike was outside a residence on Donaldson Drive in Grand Forks. “The key was in the complainant’s possession so the key wasn’t used,” said Harrison. There are no suspects or witness at this time. The bike is estimated at $1,500.

Artist proposes ‘Gateway’ CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

At the School District 51 board meeting on Sept. 9 in Grand Forks, the board heard a presentation from aboriginal artist David Seven Deers. Seven Deers, in conjunction with the school district, is looking at building a “Gateway” in Midway to link students from throughout the Boundary. Doug Lacey, SD51 director of learning, introduced Seven Deers to the board. “I asked him to speak in high terms about this vision he has about connectedness and his gift that he is going to give to our Boundary community—if we so want it—of a permanent talking circle with a raven that is Aboriginal in its theme and its teaching and the learning style.” Lacey said he has been working with Seven Deers to get the project to become a reality in Midway. The location they are looking at is the entwined tree park, which is halfway between Boundary Central Secondary School and Midway Elementary. “We want to make this a reality for our community and for our youth—aboriginal and nonaboriginal youth alike,” he said. “It fits in well with connectedness, it fits in well with our aboriginal enhancement agreement and the goals we have within it.”

Lacey said when he and Seven Deers first looked at the project, they wanted to bring together the different parts of the Boundary. “When we first started to look at it, it was about doing something to bind the two parts of the district,” said Lacey. “He came to me with the idea of the permanent talking circle and his talents as an artist. Our first conversations were how do we bind Christina Lake to Big White.” Lacey said the entwined tree park was a perfect location with its centrality and it’s historical roots with the Colville Nation. “It just seemed to fit,” he said. Lacey said they want to make sure the kids help with the process along the way. “We’ll be meeting with our aboriginal advisory council on how we can help our students be a part of it,” he said. From grant-writing to learning about the talking circle and its significance to First Nations culture and spirituality to getting the construction students from Boundary Central Secondary involved, “we want the students to have ownership of this,” said Lacey. “We want the kids to come together so they have an important place in the community.” The project is expected to begin in spring at the entwined tree park. The site will feature a raven structure as well as log seats and other features.

Utility trailer stolen

On Sept. 9 at 6:07 p.m., a complainant reported that his 2003 utility trailer was stolen from his property on West Lake Drive in Christina Lake. “It turns out someone went into his driveway while he was away and hooked onto the trailer and drove away,” said Harrison. “It appears a chain and padlock were cut to gain access. He noticed the motion activated sensor lights were loosened so they wouldn’t come on.” The trailer is a 16’ long, 7’ wide, tandem axis, flatbed with an Alberta licence plate. The value of the trailer is estimated to be under $5,000. There are no witnesses or suspects at this time.

Plate and decal stolen

On Sept. 10 at 1:25 p.m., RCMP received a report of a theft of a trailer plate and decal. The complainant is unsure of when and where the plate was stolen but it was in the Christina Lake area. Harrison said it is unsure whether the theft of the plate is related to the theft of the trailer from Sept. 9. “It’s quite a common MO that criminals use,” he said. “If they steal a vehicle, they’ll steal a plate of a different vehicle to throw on it to get away.”

Tools stolen from trailer

On Sept. 11 at 11:35 a.m., police received a report of stolen tools from a residence on West Lake Road in Christina Lake. “The complainant called to report his friend had brought a trailer full of woodworking tools over to help himwith his finishing his house and now the tools are gone from within the trailer,” said Harrison. The trailer was parked at about 8 p.m. the night before, said Harrison. “The door locks on the back of the trailer don’t work so they chained the door shut and padlocked it. Returning in the morning they found the trailer door open and the tools missing.” There are no suspects at this time.

Oxygen tank taken

On Sept. 11 at 2:18 p.m., RCMP received a report of an oxygen bottle and acetylene bottle stolen from a residence on Kingsley Road. The bottles were attached to the front of the complainant’s welding machine and were stolen some time over night, said Harrison. “The chain that was holding the two tanks in place was cut. We have no suspects or witnesses at this time but we’re starting to firmly suspect all of these thefts are related.”

Donation boxes pilfered

On Sept. 12 at 3:50 a.m., RCMP responded to a commercial alarm at the Grand Forks Art Gallery on Central Ave. “A constable attended and located the rear door unlocked,” said Harrison. “On the constable’s entry into the building, they noticed two donation boxes located in the main entrance were knocked over and someone helped themselves to whatever was inside.” Fingerprints were located at the scene and forensic identification is currently being done.

Editorial

iNSIGHT your news view

Strong education system a must It looks as if a settlement has finally been reached between the province’s teachers and the government. If, as expected, the teachers vote yes to agree to the terms of the settlement, school could be back in session as soon as Monday or Tuesday. It took five days of almost non-stop bargaining between the two bargaining teams alongside the help of super-negotiator Vince Ready, who once again came in and saved the day. Losing two weeks of school at the beginning of September is not going to be as devastating as when the full-scale strike began in June. The teacher strike seemed to be as polarizing an event as we have seen. BCTF was determined to get a deal but with the government holding most of the cards it seemed unlikely. Almost as soon as the BCTF began picketing, the coffers ran dry and teachers were making nothing as they walked the picket lines throughout September. Anyone not supporting the BCTF was seen as being anti-union, anti-education and anti-children.

Meanwhile the parking lot crews closer to the Rock Creek end were directing vehicles off the pavement to the top parking lot on a road at that end. When I pulled onto the top parking lot there was still plenty of open space on the side that I had come up on but I noticed traffic coming up on the west side of the lot was being directed to fill in that end of the field first. So what do I do? I drive on over to them and stop and wait for directions—should I pull left or right? Apparently neither—they waved me to back up and start a new row. So I did; and I backed right into the pickup behind me. The vendors are a big part of the fall fair and I could hardly believe my luck. I wasn’t even out of the parking lot yet and I’d already arranged my big fall fair purchase for 2014: a really shiny, but bent Ford bumper.

This never would have happened if Special K had been along for the ride. We were a perfect couple. She always knew (and told me) exactly where I should park no matter what lot we pulled into. I wouldn’t have been over there bothering those other guys for directions.

Opinion

Teachers’ cause is Strike all about underfunding everyone’s cause Letters

to the editor

Editor, The Gazette: It strikes me (no pun intended) that what the teachers’ strike is all about is the underfunding of public education. This is exacerbated by the widening gap between the wealthy and the poor in North America. In John Porter’s 1965 sociology masterpiece The Vertical Mosaic, he points out that 80 per cent of the wealth in Canada was in the hands of five per cent of the people. This gap has now widened to the area referred to in the U.S. as the one per cent. According to a report by the Centre for Policy Alternatives, in 1999, the richest 86 families had as much money as the poorest 10.1 million and enough to buy up everything in New Brunswick and still have about $40 billion left over.

The problem is that those who own 99 per cent of the wealth in Canada are not paying 99 per cent of the taxes. The wealthy populate government by buying their way in and this has to stop. What can you do about this? Join all the political parties and attend all the nominating committee meetings. Ask the candidate-to-be if they are 1. a lawyer, and 2. if they are sending or have sent their children to private schools. If the answer to either question is yes, find somebody else to vote for. As an alternative, you can just relax and wait for the good old days of lords and vassals, aka the feudal system, part two. Phil McGirr, Grand Forks

Trained people a blessing

Editor, The Gazette: My wife experienced a bleed in one of her lungs recently. We were near Grand Forks and the staff at the hospital speedily called the ambulance from Trail. The following morning the Trail ICU doctors called Dr. Foster, a lung specialist, in Kelowna. My wife was flown to Kelowna General hospital and within three hours a diagnosis and repair was completed to repair a ruptured blood vein in one lung, The ICU doctors and staff were tremendous and gave all that was

required to keep my wife alive and nursed back to health; we congratulate and thank the doctors, nurses, and ground and air ambulance staff in the excellent coordination and caring that was supplied in the health care operations in Grand Forks, Trail and Kelowna hospitals. We are so blessed to have these highly trained and dedicated people serving the people in the Okanagan and Kootenay region of B.C Many, many thanks. Bob and Barb Johnson, Nelson, B.C

BOUNDARY FAMILY and INDIVIDUAL SERVICES SOCIETY

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Monday, September 29, 2014 at 4:30 pm Glanville Family Centre

The hostile relationship that has existed between the government and B.C.’s teachers for at least a decade should be deep cause for concern to everyone in society, not just the people with school-age children. During the strike/lockout statements like the following were frequent: “Parents and students are caught in the middle of this dispute,” and “Our children are being held hostage,” and “The teachers’ demands are completely unreaRousing sonable.” the Rabble Parents and students were not ROY RONAGHAN caught in the middle of this dispute; they were a part of it. Parents are taxpayers and they helped elect the present government. What happens in the schools should be as important to them and their children as it is to the teachers. Parents have a key role in fulfilling a societal responsibility to provide the best possible educational opportunities for children of all ages. Parents have an influential voice as individuals and they can use the power of their parent advisory committees (PACs) to good advantage. Non-parents and business owners have a voice as well. Students are not being held hostage. They are the beneficiaries of what happens in the schools and they—like their parents—should continue to tell the government how they feel about their school experiences. Fortunately, students in some districts expressed themselves with public rallies. Jim Iker, president of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, told reporters at a Labour Day rally in Burnaby that school children need to speak with their parents about fixing the situation. The teachers’ demands are not unreasonable, particularly their position on class size and composition. The integration of special needs children into regular classrooms makes a critical difference to the teaching/learning atmosphere in those settings. Teachers have taken up the cause for improved teaching/learning conditions in British Columbia’ schools but it is not solely their cause in spite of what Minister of Education Fassbender contends. At a rally several days ago in support of the teachers, Jim Sinclair, president of the BC Federation of Labour, stated, “Teachers are demonstrating courage and making a willing sacrifice on behalf of everyone in the community. How the rest of us respond may set the future course of the entire public school system.” Society at large has a responsibility to ensure that its children and youth are given the best possible educational opportunities. If that means raising taxes to pay the cost, nobody should complain. The government decided not to legislate the teachers back to work and rejected binding arbitration. Minister Fassbender stated in an interview prior to the marathon negotiation with Vince Ready, “We need to have a negotiated settlement.” That is what he got with the aid of the mediator. Bill Tieleman, a writer for The Tyee, an on-line newspaper, stated the obvious, “It’s our future at stake, and a generation of students have already had fewer resources than they were supposed to.” When all the parties (children, parents, business leaders and local and regional elected officials) join forces to demand improvements to the school system the government may listen. When the schools are open and operating again on the money that is being provided all stakeholders should turn their thoughts to a complete overhaul of the system. It is an appropriate time to call for a Royal Commission on Education in B.C. to examine the system in depth and make recommendations for long-overdue changes. The last commission was led by Barry M. Sullivan in 1987-1988. The report on the commission’s findings called A legacy for learners: the report of the Royal Commission on Education was published in 1988. Will we continue to be complacent and lay blame or will we become full participants? Our children are depending on us to do the latter.

Speeches, an aboriginal drum presentation, written materials with contact and program information, candles to be taken home and later lit, a barbecue—it all culminated with a kite-flying ceremony.

Conn pleads guilty

In July I had the privilege of taking a trip, through Girl Guiding, to Mexico. I took part in a “friendship session” at Our Cabaña, one of the four Guiding World Centers. While I was there I had the pleasure of meeting girls from all around the world and taking part in the Mexican culture. I left Mexico with many fond memories, countless stories, and the intention of returning at a later date. I would like to acknowledge and thank the following people and groups from the community:

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The man accused of setting fire to Grand Forks City Hall on Sept. 19, 2013 has pled guilty to arson. Andre Conn is scheduled for sentencing on Nov. 3 at Rossland Court. Conn was originally scheduled for trial by judge on Sept. 15 but pleaded guilty instead. The fire at City Hall caused extensive damage and was classified as arson. Conn was picked up on the scene by local RCMP and held as a ‘person of interest.’ City Hall had to be almost completely rebuilt at a cost of $1 million. The newly rebuilt City Hall is expected to be ready for the new council’s inaugural meeting on Dec. 1 of this year.

Destination unknown Randall Jarvis (middle) of Elkford was the big winner of a trip for two to anywhere WestJet flies. The raffle was a fundraiser for the Rotary Club’s spray park project. Presenting the prize are (from left) Peter Perepelkin, Lobster Fest chair, and Wayne Christensen, club president. Jarvis said he has been scouting out places to travel to online but him and his wife haven’t decided where to go yet. He does say they will likely use up the tickets when it gets cold in Elkford.

Over 7,600 inquiries and complaints were responded to and 1,900 early resolutions or investigations were completed last year by B.C.’s Ombudsperson Office and on Tuesday, Sept. 30, the public will be able to make a complaint in person when an “Ombudsperson Office for the Day” office is set up in Grand Forks. “We serve the entire province. If people have not been successful in resolving their problems with the public agency and still feel they have not been treated fairly and reasonably, they can come to us,” says Ombudsperson Kim Carter. “While the majority of complaints are by telephone, mail or online, some people are more comfortable meeting faceto-face and I feel it’s important that this opportunity is available to people throughout the province.”

B.C.’s Ombudsperson Office can investigate complaints about all provincial ministries and boards, Crown corporations, colleges and universities, schools and boards of education, health authorities, local governments and self-governing professions. Appointments need to be booked ahead of time by calling 1-800-567-3247. While Ombudsperson staff meet with individuals, the Ombudsperson speaks with public agencies and community groups.

to school. “I don’t know what was agreed upon,” he said. “If it all ratifies, I’d assume the latest it would start would be Tuesday.” A post on the Grand Forks Secondary School Facebook site stated that: “It appears likely that students could be back on Monday but we are waiting for details on what may happen and whether any adjustments will be made to the semester length.” School District 51 superintendent Kevin Argue told the Gazette he wasn’t sure when school would return and wouldn’t know until the deal was set. He added that any decision to adjust the school length would be made at the provincial level by the Ministry of Education. “We’re very excited and I’m really pleased that it came to a negotiated settlement,” he said. “This is only the second time this has happened between the government and the BCTF. I’m really thankful to both bargaining teams for making it happen. Vince Ready is an amazing person in that he got this to happen.” Last week, a group of local teachers showed up at the regular school board meeting and serenaded the trustees with a song about the strike. In addition to the song, several teachers including Sabourin spoke up during comment period to urge the board to support the teachers and speak against the government. Later in the meeting, trustee Dave Reid handed out a press release from the BC School Trustees Association (BCSTA) titled “advocacy update.” The release stated that, “We appeal to both sides to move beyond their current positions to make meaningful and real concessions with the assistance of mediator Vince Ready. If the parties will not make the necessary moves to achieve a negotiated settlement, BCSTA strongly encourages a cooling off period that would include

a public third party report and nonbinding recommendations.” Sabourin, as well as local teacher David Dunnet, both jumped on the fact that the release, which the local school board supports, does not urge the government to agree to binding arbritration as suggested by the BCTF. This tells me that the SD51 board of trustees supports the government’s stance, said Dunnet. “This is an insult.” “This shows you’re not going to fight for us,” added Sabourin. “This is terrible for morale. You guys have to move the government. This is a cop-out.” Sabourin urged the board to fight for the teachers. “We need you as trustees and district management here to put the message out in a very hard and clear way. “I hope you take a very hard line on this and demand this Liberal government set binding arbitration in order to get schools open and kids back.” Board chair Teresa Rezansoff, who is also president of the BCSTA, told the Gazette that the board will be formulating their own letter to be sent from SD51 regarding the strike. Rezansoff clarified that the letter that was passed around at the board meeting was simply an advocacy update from the BCSTA and not a letter from SD51. The letter from the board of trustees

‘Texas Randy’ leave. So I’m going to leave and all will be good.” Hedrick has been told that the IRS will be contacting him but he says he has receipts and tax returns for the last 20 years he has worked in Canada. “I’ll show it to them and they can do what they want to,” he said. Hedrick said he has had his family visit him here in Canada. Even still, he is looking forward to going back to him mom’s house and visiting family in Texas. “I’m looking forward to going down there,” he said. “I was just looking forward to being able to go back and forth between the two countries. I don’t want to cause any problems in either country. I just want to be able to go through the borders like most people can.” Hedrick has received a letter of support from Mayor Brian Taylor, whom he considers a friend. “He said I was a valuable member of society and a good friend of his,” said Hedrick. “I always worked and paid my own way. But that’s it—I’m basically an illegal alien. As far as I understand they don’t want people up here taking jobs from Canadians. But I’m not doing that, I’m taking jobs that need to be done in this town. I’m a drywaller and if

was released on Sept. 12 and stated: “We have heard from many parents, community members and staff and we share your sense of frustration and disappointment with the current labour dispute between the government of British Columbia and the BCTF. As trustees we are deeply concerned by the effects of this unsettled labour dispute on the learning and social/emotional well-being of our students. We believe a continuation of this dispute will have significant short and long-term negative impacts on our students and the public education system.” The letter went on to ask the government to increase funding, recommend that teachers receive a fair wage increase, make the strike savings accrued available to the bargaining table, and ensure that any settlement reached with the BCTF be fully funded by the government. “We are very concerned about that,” said Rezansoff. “Our biggest message is we want to see our students back in school and our teachers back in school and we want to be able to get to an agreement that works for everybody.” She said if both sides could not come to an agreement then they would agree with the BCSTA in a call for a third-party report with non-binding recommendations.

people need it done, it needs to be done. They can’t get people to do it from out of town. They call me to other towns that don’t have drywallers. They need to find someone to do it and I do it.” Fifty or so close friends of Hedricks held a going away party of sorts on Sunday at his place. He said he really appreciates the support from the people in Grand Forks. Taylor told the Gazette he wrote a letter of support because he believes that Hedrick is a good citizen and has many, many friends here. “He made a contribution to our community,” said Taylor. “However, the kinds of bureaucracy he’s facing—any reference letter from our community isn’t going to carry much weight with Homeland Security, which are the people dealing with the border. This is way beyond what we can possibly intercede with. My attempt was just as a friend to testify as to his good will in the community.” Taylor tells a story of remembering when Hedrick used to go around town wearing white shrimping boots. “He got the nickname of ‘Texas Randy’ because I guess he used to be a shrimper down there and he wore those white boots until they wore out,” said

Taylor. “When I first moved to town in 1993, my daughter was with me and she said, ‘How can we move to a town where people go out and dance in rubber boots?’ and there was Randy wearing white rubber boots and dancing in the bar.” Taylor said that Hedrick is quite the character and it would be sad to see him have to leave town. “That’s the kind of guy the community really appreciates,” said Taylor. “We love our characters. Maybe he’ll come back to Grand Forks one day if he can sort out those issues in the U.S. We’d certainly welcome him back to Grand Forks.”

Women the focus of awards SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Since 2007, Boundary Women’s Coalition has hosted the Outstanding Women of the Boundary Awards on March 8, International Women’s Day. This year the coalition (BWC) has decided to make a change and present the awards in October. Since 1992, October has been dedicated Women’s HerStory Month because it is the month in which Canadian women became “persons” under the law. Another change this year is the addition of a new category—Woman of Distinction. A woman nominated in

this category would be a Boundary area woman who has inspired others by her way of being in the world. BWC values the contributions women make to our lives and is pleased to provide an opportunity for the community to celebrate women’s accomplishments. The coalition does not select the recipients; anyone can make a nomination and all women nominated are acknowledged at the event. A nomination package can be requested by email to bwrc@telus.net or by phone to 250-442-5212 or in person at Boundary Women’s Resource Centre, 268 Market Ave., Grand Forks.The nom-

7797 16th St. • 250-442-2585 Cell 250-443-9162

ination package details the categories, process, etc. Nomination forms must be returned to the Resource Centre by midnight, Oct. 3. This year, the Outstanding Women of the Boundary Awards event will be held on Friday, Oct. 24 at the Seniors’ Hall, City Park, Grand Forks. We all know women who—by their actions, by the way they live their lives—make the Boundary Community a better place in which to live. They are more today than they were yesterday, they have made a significant impression and they inspire the rest of us. Celebrate the special woman in your life with a nomination.

Bears are looking for food now to fatten up in preparation for hibernation. The bear above wasn’t shy to go up on to the Noseworthy’s deck at Christina Lake, and look right in the window! He left after taking the bird feeder down, returning the next day for more. A full grown bear (right) is also hanging around. Herb Noseworthy photos

Consider donating fruit and vegetables Fall is definitely just around the corner. There’s a crispness to the morning air and the leaves are turning various shades of yellow, orange and red before drifting to the ground. While the daytime temperatures are still warm, nights are becoming cool and people are beginning to turn up their thermostats. Parents are pulling warmer jackets and footwear out of their children’s closets and hoping they still fit. And if they don’t, a new dilemma arises. Pay the power or gas bill, buy new clothes for the children, or themselves, or continue to put food on the table? A number of our clients are able to get by during the summer, but as the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop they find themselves needing a helping hand to make ends meet.

Are you a gardener? Do you have a lot of fruit trees on your property? When you’re tired of canning and your DEB freezer is full, please BILLWILLER consider donating your excess produce to the food bank. In the months of June, July and August, we distributed over 700 pounds of potatoes, 350+ pounds of carrots, over 700 onions and more than 1,400 apples and oranges. In addition to this, we were blessed with a lot of home-grown spinach, lettuce, green beans, zuchinni, rhubarb and other produce that we were able to pass on to our clients. But as we move out of the gardening season, those donations will decrease and the prices for the fruits and vegetables we regularly purchase will once again climb. The less produce we have to pur-

z Hunger Matters

chase now, the more funds we’ll have for purchases in the colder months. For many of us, autumn is also a time of new beginnings. Young children starting preschool, older children off to post-secondary education and leaving behind an “empty nest,” summer at the lake drawing to an end. If you’re one of those adults looking for a new “hobby” or suddenly finding yourself with time on your hands; if you’re energetic and caring; if you believe that members of our community should NOT be going hungry, then please join us at the Boundary Community Food Bank. We have an incredible group of volunteers, but between health issues and holidays, we always have room for more. If you would like to learn more about what’s involved, you can leave a message at 250-442-2800 or drop by the food bank at 7419 Second St. on Tuesdays (the first four each month) between 9:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Presenting the best of the Orris Award winners Each year for almost a decade now, students in the GFSS graduating class are invited to send in an written submission based on the topic “What do you see in the world that needs improving and how would you act on that challenge?” Year after year there have been many submission, very well thought our and written—and the top

presentation earns a bursary to assist in their post-secondary education. The award is in honor of Stanley Orris, owner and publisher of the Grand Forks Gazette for four decades from 1944 into the seventies. He was a strong believer in social action in ways that improved our community, our country and

Embrace Change by Simone Gentry As an aspiring artist, my dream is to see the world at peace. A big goal, I know, and impossible if taken on all at once. If we are being realistic and reasonable, there are some steps to take before this vision of world peace is possible. One of these would be for us to sort out our own real first world problems before teaching third world countries how to fix theirs. Things like poverty, illiteracy, abuse, inequality and racism are still very much present here. Not to mention the environmental damage we are currently contributing. When we have our own numbers down to zero, then we can truly offer full assistance to others. My goal is to see a difference in the world made through art. Using art as a vehicle for change is no new idea and I am positive I do not stand alone among my generation in fighting through it. A picture is worth a thousand words and if we want to change the world we have to change the opinions of people. I hope to help the world see my dream and to ignite the same passion for change that I feel in everyone. There is nothing like staring at a beautiful, canvas and imagining the endless possibilities stretched out before you! As a whole, art has a way of capturing human fascination and attention like nothing else. In it we see pieces of ourselves, thoughtfully hidden truths, and insights into the minds of others. If executed correctly, a work of art can play with our emotions and feelings like a marionette doll on a stage. All of this makes the arts a force to be reck-

oned with especially when a powerful message guides its final shape. From a young age I knew I wanted to be an artist, I just never dreamt it might be possible! Thinking I had no eye for art whatsoever, it seemed a far-fetched dream. You can imagine my delight when I began to develop some artistic skill {thanks to my grandma, an amazing artist). Even at those first creative moments, I began learning as much as possible about the range of mediums available. Now that I am in Grade 12, I have a better understanding of which disciplines in art are for me. I am very interested in clay and would like to get some more advanced instruction in it and on the pottery wheel. Over the years my reasons for wanting to be an artist may have changed, or should I say matured, but my desire to create and make a difference with my work remains the same. It feels unreal that I might actually be lucky enough to pursue what I want in life. I am planning on attending the Selkirk KSA campus in Nelson, B.C., this is in the hopes of walking away with a degree in Fine Arts. From there I am hoping to make it as an independent artist for a little while before returning to school to get my teaching degree. I honestly do not know what the future will bring (thankfully nobody does), but I do know where I want it to go. Often people demand change, but for that to happen people like you and I have to learn to embrace it.

Toy run raises thousands Gazette Staff

The West Kootenay Toy Run held Sunday, Sept. 7 was a great success with 435 registered motorcycles and 130 passengers participating in the 2014 event. This annual event takes place on the first Sunday after Labour Day in September, and begins in Castlegar. It brings motorcyclists from across the province together for a day of socializing, riding and charity. First held in 1988 with 15 local riders, the run now features over 500 participants, with more than $30,000 being raised annually for local food banks, women’s shelters, the Salvation Army, various family support organizations, and high school bursaries, as well as hundreds of toys that are donated to the local Salvation Army organizations for their Christmas hampers. Rob Hiscox of Blewett took home the run’s first prize, a 2014 Harley Davidson Street Glide. Second prize of $1,000 was won by Joe Bella of Trail; third prize of $500 went to Sherry Chrastensen of Genelle. Fourth to eighth prizes of $100 went to Gerry Woodhouse of Rossland, Bill Trewhella of Warfield, Allan Jmayoff of Christina Lake, Clint Johre of Trail and Tim Okeefe of Castlegar.

On Saturday, Aug. 9, the GFSS 1964 graduating class, and former classmates, gathered for a weekend of socializing and renewing old friendships. Sixty-three people (including spouses) from Ottawa, Alberta and parts of B.C. were in attendance and enjoyed a “Meet and Greet” on Friday night, tours of the Grand Forks Secondary School and Boundary Museum on Saturday afternoon, followed by an evening dinner, with light-hearted reminiscing and music. The weekend was concluded with an outdoor Sunday morning brunch, hosted by a local classmate. This group has previously gathered for their 10th reunion in 1974, their 30th in 1994, and is looking forward to a 60th in another 10 years!

Grand Forks Gazette

Any way you look at it, it was a good opening weekend for the Grand Forks Border Bruins. The Bruins won two of three games in a busy three-game home stand that saw them beat divisional rivals Spokane and Castlegar and lose to 100 Mile House. Bruins’ coach and general manager Brad Snyder was pleased with the team’s overall effort. “I think we played two different kinds of games Friday and Saturday,” he said. “On Friday we played not to lose, while Saturday we played to win. That was the whole difference in the series.” As a new coach and GM with the Bruins, Snyder said it will take some time for the team to gel. “It’s going to take some time to get the confidence,” he said. “It’s going to be a rocky road sometimes. But we started out on the right foot. The guys are excited. They’re putting everything they can into it.” On Sunday afternoon, Max Newton had two goals and two assists to lead the Bruins over the visiting Castlegar Rebels 4-2. The Bruins trailed 2-1 after the first period and had missed a couple of good scoring chances. A power play goal from Kyle Doak tied the score at 11:41 of the sec-

New coach introduced CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

For Raymond Naismith, figure skating as a male in a predominantly female-dominated sport afforded him opportunity to compete at a very high level. Naismith competed at the national level and did very well. He is now bringing his figure skating talent to Grand Forks where he is taking over as head coach of the local figure skating club. He is hoping not only to help improve the skill levels of the skaters, but bring in more young males. “I’ve been coaching for about 25 or 30 years,”

he told the Gazette. “My background is in figure skating. I have my international gold in singles. I’ve competed at the senior Canadian level. I have a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) in dancing from York University.” Naismith was introduced on Friday at a special afternoon skate around at Jack Goddard Memorial Arena. He was joined on the ice by about 20 young figure skaters, who went through some figure skating basics with their new coach. “The skaters seem really enthusiastic,” he said. “One skater, Kayla Tiller, is really enthusiastic. You have to really love this to succeed. She did some skating in the summer. They’re off the ice for about five months and it takes some time to get used to the ice again.” Naismith said he wants to help build up the club and build up the membership and implement some programs. “I want to get more boys involved,” he said. “It’s not easy to get them involved with this culture. Being a male myself, I get a thrill out of doing jumps. That’s one thing that really kept me interested in figure skating: the jumping and the athleticism it demands.” Naismith said there are more males involved in large centres such as Toronto and Vancouver. He also pointed out to the success of the TV show Battle of the Blades which features former NHL players figure skating. “Even Don Cherry himself said that he was amazed these NHL hockey players are able to do these tricks in figure skates on ice,” said Naismith. Naismith said that the Grand Forks club mainly consists of newer skaters who will learn through the CanSkate program. He said many will move up and transition into testing for SkateCanada. He added that some will also compete against other skaters in competitions throughout the Kootenays and Okanagan. “It’s pretty exciting for them to go out and compete,” said Naismith. “It gets them involved in the skating community. Kayla (Tiller) competes and we’re going to be working on a solo for competitions later this year.” Tiller has been skating for 10 years and enjoys competing. “It’s fun,” she said. “I like accomplishing new things like landing new jumps for the first time. This year I want to pass some of my gold dances and my gold skills.” Tiller also helps coach the younger skaters as a certified assistant with CanSkate. “I love it,” she said. “It’s really fun. I like the kids. Sometimes they goof around but they’re kids. I’ve been doing it for a few years.”

The Kootenay Robusters Dragonboat Team successfully ended their competitive season with a third place finish in Women’s Platinum B final in Penticton on Sunday, Sept. 7. This year’s festival consisted of 73 teams from as far north as Prince George and as far west as Edmonton. The highly competitive women’s division had 40 teams.

day qualifying heats to place them in the Platinum division. The Sunday morning semi-final race placed them behind the top four teams and into the Platinum B division. Unfortunately, the final race had to be cancelled due to high winds so the third place finish was awarded strictly on times from the semifinal race. Also on Sunday was the Breast Cancer Survivor Cup Challenge race, open only to crews of survivors. Fourteen Kootenay Robusters combined with seven paddlers from four other teams, including the Nelson Kootenay Rhythm Dragons, and was proud to place fourth out of a field of nine teams. The Survivor race was followed by the traditional Carnation Ceremony held after each Survivor race to honour all those who have died of breast cancer and to encourage all those fighting this terrible disease. The introduction to the ceremony followed by the waving of hundreds of pink carnations in time to Garth Brooks’ song The River was an emotional experience few ever forget. The Kootenay Robusters, with members from Castlegar, Christina Lake, Grand Forks, Rossland and Trail, train throughout the summer on Christina Lake. The team, of both survivor and associate paddlers, always welcome new members. Visit www.kootenayrobusters.org for more information.

Rena Gillyean Maria Malvina Erina Rella (Rena) was born in Grand Forks Sept. 14, 1914. The family moved to the Rella farm on the old North Fork Road when she was 3. She had four siblings, Ulisse, Eda, Emma and Elisabeth (Betty). They were a musical family and Rena played the piano and mandolin. Rena attended the Sand Creek School until grade 8 and later moved to Trail for secretarial training. There she met and married Jim Taylor who was a lineman for West Kootenay Power. They had two children, Jacqueline and Grant. Jim was electrocuted on the job in 1948. Rena returned to school, studied accounting and worked at Klein Furniture in Trail to support the family. She met Don Gillyean who was in the army when she lived in Warﬁeld. He made a lot of dust with his motorcycle, which did not please her. They were married in 1956 and moved back to Grand Forks and went into business with her brother, Ulisse Rella. They bought Monterey Motors, where Rena did the books and Don and Ulisse repaired and sold vehicles. Rena taught many nieces and nephews to balance and post ledgers. She was president of the Business and Professional Women’s club, played bridge, was an avid gardener and knitter and loved ﬁshing, and picking huckleberries and shaggy mane mushrooms. In her retirement years she traveled extensively and they enjoyed spending time with family and friends at their North Fork cabin. She died peacefully in Hardy View Lodge six days before her 100th birthday. She was predeceased by her husband Don in 2005 and daughter Jackie Hughes in 2014. She is survived by her sister, Betty Hovanes of Oliver, and son Grant (Linda) of Grand Forks. Grandchildren are Richard (Teri) Taylor, Laura (Thom) Liptrot, Bruce (Jauna) Taylor, Lynn (Jim) Stapley, and James (Cindi) Hersey. She had twelve great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Stephen, Hannah, Abigail and Brycen Semenoff, and the Semenoff and Horkoff families

Amy Semenoff February 26, 1977 - August 23, 2014 It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Amy Semenoff. Amy was born in Grand Forks on February 26, 1977, to Cindy and Walter Horkoff. She spent her early years living up the North Fork at a place called Niagara. Later the family moved to First Road on the west side of Grand Forks where Amy attended Hutton Elementary and went on to Grand Forks Secondary School. During her years at GFSS Amy met Stephen at a Border Bruins hockey game. They were waiting to be set up (introduced) by a friend when Amy took matters into her own hands and sought Stephen out. Although Grand Forks is a small town, they had never crossed paths and he asked her, “Where have you been all my life?” Even though young, Amy knew he was the one and they started dating. After graduating from GFSS, Amy decided to go to Penticton to hair dressing school, and Stephen joined her there. She graduated and did her apprenticeship in Penticton. They decided to move back to Grand Forks where they rented a house in Johnson Flats and Amy started to work at her aunt’s salon. They rented for a while, then bought a house on Central Avenue. They were married in the year 2000 and Amy was welcomed into the Semenoff family and a bond was created and strengthened over the years with her in-laws George and Irene and their children and grandchildren. She was very interested in learning Doukhobor (Russian) cooking, making borsch, pyrahi, lapsha, etc. Amy felt the Semenoffs to be a second family to her and shared many happy family get-togethers at their home. Their home was a place of comfort to her and her children. During her final days she was able to rest and find sanctuary in the Semenoff home. Amy and Stephen were blessed with their oldest daughter Hannah in 2002, and two years later with their second daughter Abby. Six years after that their family was completed with the arrival of their son Brycen. Amy and Stephen spent 22 happy years as a couple and were married for 14 of those. Amy loved being a stay-at-home mom and she took pride in raising her children. Amy was an incredible cook and loved family gatherings. Indeed, a family gathering at Amy and Stephen’s house was a joy to be part of and everyone felt welcome in their home. It is difficult to briefly put into words the kind of mom Amy was; there was no doubt her kids came first in her life. The proof is in the amazing people her two oldest children already are. Amy’s ability to show kindness to everyone, and the way she led by example in her helping of those less fortunate, are the types of lessons she taught her kids. Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 and she seemed to have beaten it. She fought with absolutely everything she had; taking on surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Not too long ago she had a reoccurrence of cancer. Despite an incredible inner strength, she could not survive this treacherous disease that was too strong for our strong-willed girl; for though she had a gentle soul and a selfless spirit, she was also a fighter. She was determined and willful and will be remembered for all of these things, and certainly many more. Kindness, gentleness, loving, gratefulness was her way of life. In the final moments of her life she was surrounded by her loving husband and many family members. She is survived by husband Stephen and children Hannah, Abigail and Brycen. Also surviving are her father Walter Horkoff, mother Cindy Horkoff, brothers Ryan (Jen) Horkoff and Jason Horkoff; grandparents Helen and Steve Horkoff and Sam Horkoff and many nieces, nephews and cousins; her in-laws George and Irene Semenoff, Ken and Bobbi Semenoff, Melanie and Gord Buna, Rick and Tracy Finlay and Stephanie Pepin. Burial took place at Evergreen Cemetery. May she rest in peace.

Connecting with the Community

@1grandforksbc

From Council Chambers

Summer Good for Grand Forks G

rand Forks was a very busy City this summer with an overwhelming number of community events that were all incredibly successful, the campground busy and downtown was hopping. It has been wonderful to see and chat with the numerous visitors to the community this summer. This month Council recognized a local couple, Eli and Dorothy Popoff, for their incredible dedication and contribution to the community by bestowing them the honour of Freeman of the City. Council presented Mrs. Popoff with a plaque at a small celebration in her home earlier in September.

The Union of British Columbia Municipalities is taking place this month. UBCM is an important opportunity for local governments to share knowledge and issues facing BC communities, and meet and discuss local issues and initiatives with the provincial government. This year City Council plans to meet with several provincial ministers to discuss issues that are important to the Grand Forks Community and includes the: Ministry of Natural Gas Development and Minister Responsible for Housing, Honorable Rich Coleman – Request for funding for the Multi-Agency Accommodation Project (MAAP) to provide housing to a vulnerable population. Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, Honorable Coralee Oakes – Support municipal non-taxation revenue generation to fund asset management programs. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources, Honorable Steve Thompson – Request for provincial leadership and funding for deer management for the City of Grand Forks. Minister of Health, Honorable Terry Lake – Request for funding for the Multi-Agency Accommodation Project (MAAP) to provide community mental health services and housing. The Green Communities Committee has recognized the City for the work undertaken to measure and

reduce its corporate emissions. The City was awarded Level 2 recognition for this accomplishment.

Updates

Dick Bartlett Electrical Upgrade: In cooperation with Boundary Electric, the electrical crew installed a new electrical panel at Dick Bartlett Park to aid with major events held in this park.

Water Meter Installation: Thank you to everyone who has had a water meter installed in their home. The program is off to a great start! Just a reminder to set up your appointment with Neptune (1.800.661.4387 or www.grandforkswatermeters.ca/schedule.html) once you have received your brochure in the mail. Please call within 2 weeks of receiving your brochure to arrange an appointment and Neptune will work with you to schedule an appointment at a convenient time for you!!

68th Street paving update: Existing asphalt and base gravel materials have been removed and on the south side of 68th cleanup of grass/dirt boulevards up to the existing sidewalk have been completed. Crews are in the first stages of prepping the road for asphalt which is anticipated to take place in late September. Residents will see improved drainage along 68th as well as a “sharrow” on the south side of the street. The purpose of a sharrow – road markings showing a bicycle with two chevrons – is to remind residents to share the road when driving or cycling in Grand Forks. Thank you for your patience during the construction period!

Riverside Drive Re-conductor Project: The City electrical crew will be undertaking a crucial upgrade to the system. This is to ensure existing and future capacity requirements. The project is scheduled to begin in October and completed at the end of the month. The City intends to provide regular updates and more information on this project. www. grandforks.ca

ATV Launch Site: In partnership with the ATV Club City workers will be grading and constructing the area at Morrissey Creek parking lot for the ATV launch site in late September. A new informational kiosk will also be erected.

City Hall: Construction at City Hall is well underway! Work crews began the reconstruction process in June and aim to be complete at the end of the year. Thank you for your patience throughout the displacement period.

The City has been hard at work developing our “Open for Business” philosophy and Council is very excited to have been nominated along with 12 other communities for the 2014 Open for Business Award. This award recognizes communities that support small business through local government measures. Council would like to thank each and every volunteer that takes the time to help make our community great! The 2014 call for nominations for Volunteer of the City is now open. Volunteers are integral to the strong social fabric of the Grand Forks community and by nominating community groups and individuals you can show your appreciation and thanks to our communities many excellent volunteers. Nomination forms and instructions can be found at www.grandforks.ca

Elections: If you are interested in running in the upcoming municipal election, nomination packages are available for pick up at 6641 Industrial Parkway (old Canpar office). The nomination period begins on September 30th at 9:00am and closes on October 10th at 4:00pm. For elections information check out www. grandforks.ca

Head Start Program Conference Registration: The Head Start for Young Women pilot project began in the fall of 2013 when Councillor Cher Wyers was informed that Grand Forks had been chosen as one of the communities selected by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. After two information sessions, a group of six girls and three mentors was created. The group put their heads together and are hosting a conference for women in politics. For more information or to register for the conference check out http://www.grandforks. ca/public-notices/project-progress-head-start-foryoung-women-in-grand-forks/
