Andre Conn received 10 more months of jail time and two years of probation on Monday in Rossland Court for setting fire to Grand Forks City Hall. The fire, which occurred on Sept. 19, 2013, caused extensive damage to City Hall. Conn was arrested later that day by Grand Forks RCMP near the scene of the fire. He was found guilty on Sept. 11, 2014 of one count of arson causing damage to property. Conn, who is 32 years old, received credit for 20 months jail time after serving 13 months total. He also received a firearms prohibition and must provide a DNA sample. The fire gutted most of the first floor of the venerable City Hall building and caused smoke damage to other parts of the building. City Hall is currently being rebuilt at a cost of approximately $1.2 million and is expected to be ready for the Dec. 1 city council meeting, which will be the first of the new council.

Budgeting for food is often a challenge for anyone making a decent wage, but doing it on $3 a day would seem impossible — yet that’s what those on welfare in B.C. are forced to do. The welfare challenge was a province-wide initiative where participators spent one week, from Oct. 16 (Hunger Awareness Week) to Oct. 22, only eating the food they could buy with $21. The amount of $21 for a week’s worth of food came from the expected food allowance remaining from a monthly welfare cheque of $610. Less

rent ($450), room damage deposit ($20), book of 10 bus tickets ($21), cell phone ($21) and personal hygiene/ laundry ($10). The remainder is $84 divided by four weeks: $21 per week. Two local women, Tammy Battersby and Leda Leander, took up the challenge and struggled to do their regular jobs on their meager food allowance. Both women are familiar with the difﬁculties of individuals and families who struggle with having enough money for food and other basic necessities. Battersby is the community care coordinator at the Gospel Chapel and organizes the community Christmas hamper program, while Leander is the executive

director of Boundary Family and Individual Services Society. “I put the welfare challenge out in the community,” said Leander. “I also said it wouldn’t be a very healthy thing to do for people with children living in their homes because it’s really, really difﬁcult to feed children in a healthy manner based on the amount of money families receive on income assistance.” The group putting on the welfare change is called Raise the Rates and they are dedicating to convincing the government to raise the income assistance rates in B.C. “I saw that a celebrity (singer Bif Naked) was doing the challenge and I said, I need to do this,” said Bat-

tersby. “I was intrigued with this and read up on it. I give people hampers but I don’t really understand where they’re at or what they’re experiencing.” Battersby said she has not received social assistance but has been broke before. “It was a reminder: what are the people I’m seeing everyday experiencing?” she said. “It’s been awhile (since I’ve been broke) and it was a good reminder. I wanted to build my compassion.” Battersby set aside the money she would have spent on food and donated it to the Christmas hamper program. • See WELFARE CHALLENGE page A16

1905 A great musical treat is in store for the people of Grand Forks on Jan. 16 in the opera house. Chicago’s Philharmonic Ladies Quartet will put on a performance. 1910 Complaints are frequent about some wretched-looking starving creatures that wander around town day and night without shelter or food. Apart from the cruelty to these creatures thus shown, the animals are an unmitigated nuisance to Grand Forks. 1915 Mickey McKay, last year’s Grand Forks hockeyist, the sensation for the big Coast League this season, scored three out of four goals including the winning goal in overtime, for Vancouver against Victoria on Tuesday. 1920 The city ofﬁce has received ofﬁcial notice from the Attorney-General’s department, advising that the salary of Police Magistrate McCallum has been raised from $25 to $50 monthly. 1925 Apparently scenting the festivities in town, a coyote strayed in via the Yale Bridge just before noon. Cecil Armson got his eagle optic on the stranger and now there is a new hide in the tannery. 1930 Agriculturally, the year in Grand Forks has been a satisfactory one. Both fruit and vegetables have brought better prices. With a considerable area planted in potatoes, and good yields, some of the ranchers did especially well. 1935 Arrangements are being made for Grand Forks to sit in on the World Olympic Bridge Tournament which will be held under the auspices of the Gyro Club.

Committee will advise on water rate billing CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Despite assurances of a year-long mock billing period, some residents are wondering now just how they will be charged for water usage. Starting in 2015, once water meters are installed, water users will receive a mock bill. The mock billing period will last for one year and give users a chance to see how the meters will affect their bill. Exactly how the city charges during the mock billing period will be decided by council. Before that happens, a water rate committee will be formed and that committee will meet and make a recommendation to council at a Committee of the Whole meeting. It is expected that there will be a base rate to cover the operation of the business. “Typically, the process provides the committee the details of the basic operating costs that must be covered to ensure the utility does not undertake financial losses,” said Doug Allin, chief administrative officer for Grand Forks. “The committee will review all options and funding formulas.” Allin said the mock rate structure would typically be the same structure that residents would see on the final billing as decided by council to ensure consistency.

AGM

Thursday, November 13th, 2014 gallery 2 Starting at 6 pm

In keeping with the City of Grand Forks Open for Business philosophy, the Mayor and several Councillors attended a luncheon hosted by the Urban Development Institute (UDI) at the Coast Capri Hotel in Kelowna on October 30, 2014. The UDI is a national non-profit association of the development industry, and its related professions, involved in all facets of land development and planning and dedicated to fostering effective communication between industry, government, and the public. Chief Administrative Officer, Doug Allin, presented to over 150 attendees at the luncheon, sending the message that the City is Open for Business. Grand Forks was introduced to potential investors as having a competitive business environment; offering a quick turnaround time for processing proposals and low Development Cost Charges as well as offering affordable land ready for development. Mr. Allin assured investors that whether their industry is tourism, retail, agriculture, arts, recreation, forestry, manufacturing or information and communications technology, Grand Forks offers a wealth of opportunities for their business. This fall the City was one of only nine other B.C. municipalities honoured with the B.C. Small Business Roundtable’s Open for Business Award, which recognizes local policies, projects and programs that support small business. Evaluations were based on local measures that make it easier to do business in the community. For more information visit our website at www.grandforks.ca

Everywhere a sign

With the municipal election only a short time away, the city is becoming inundated with election signs. It happens every three years (now four). Cities across our fair province become littered with signs as candidates jockey for position on crowded yards near major roads. The effectiveness of signs can certainly be debated. They can be eyecatching and may just turn an undecided voter, but they can also be an eyesore with their ubiquity and generally plain facade. Signs range from small and unobtrusive to billboard sized and impossible to miss. One candidate bucks the trend by putting his sign on top of his truck and driving around. Of course, for whatever reason election signs tend to be magnets for vandalism. Whether it’s someone who is against a candidate or just young hooligans, every campaign you hear about signs being stolen and/or damaged. Signs are not cheap, particularly if you want multiple colours and a professionallooking job. This certainly could mean that some less affluent candidates may be left out in the cold when it comes to signs. Perhaps it’s time for Grand Forks to follow the lead of Whistler, which bucked the election sign trend by banning the signs altogether. All 11 candidates there agreed not to put up any signs this election with some stating the environmental aspect and others saying they’re just a costly hassle. Of course, that would mean that all our candidates would have to agree on the same thing. What are the chances of that?

Skunk oil was a great Halloween trick! Growing Up In Grand Forks The Best Place on Earth

MILTON ORRIS Well behaved, pleasant and friendly as we all were growing up in Grand Forks, we did have our mischievous moments, especially around Halloween time when we figured we had permission to do things out of the ordinary. The year I was working at the drug store, Mr. Neubauer asked me to go and find something in the back of the pharmacy where he had stored older materials for prescriptions. While back there I noticed a small bottle labeled Skunk Oil. Obviously that needed looking at so I pulled it off the shelf and opened it—oh yes, it was truly skunk oil. I asked Mr. Neubauer what that was used for and he told me it used to be regarded as a good lotion to cure some aches and pains. That cure would give you some alone time, I thought to myself. The next day I told my good friend and next-door neighbour Doug Little about the skunk oil. Doug was in Grade 12 and the president of the student’s council, and a real hero of mine whom I looked up to—

and a great friend in spite of our age difference. A day or so later he asked me if I could get some of the skunk oil for a project he had in mind. “No problem” I answered and next day brought some home. “What’s the project,” I asked. Want to help?” I quickly replied, “Oh yeah”. As president of the student council, Doug had a key to the high school, so Halloween evening he called over to me and said, “Let’s go, time for our ‘trick’ and it’s going to be a real treat.”. A couple of other high school friends joined us. So over into the school we went and into the principal’s office. We smeared some skunk oil on the inside door handle, on the arms of her desk chair, and on the handle of the main drawer. We quickly and quietly left. Now Mrs. Cusack was a very stern, not very friendly, quite unapproachable yet hard working principal that had to stay on through the war years. We were all somewhat scared of her as she still believed students were to be disciplined however and whenever necessary, for whatever she decided. The next morning we arrived early to watch her arrival and see what she did. She

opened her office door, quickly walked in and shut it. Then we heard a loud “What is this” followed by hurried footsteps to her desk and then a shriek— “Oh my God.” Then there were hurried footsteps back to the door and we hid around the corner so we could watch her run out of the school, jump into her car and drive away—really fast. We looked at each other, and Doug said, “It really worked,” as we laughed our way to class. Word spread quickly through the school about what happened, and a few students guessed “Who did that!” We were heroes! That afternoon Mrs. Cusack called an emergency meeting of the student’s council. As I was Grade 9 class president I was there with Doug and several others. Mrs. Cusack quickly explained what happened, her thorough disgust for the students she suspected had done this. Unless there as a confession from the perpetrators by the next morning at nine o’clock, all extra curricular activities in the high school would be cancelled until further notice—perhaps until after Christmas along with possible further repercussions that could affect all the students. That was serious.

Where errors occur, The Gazette or its advertisers shall not be liable. Advertising constitutes an offer to sell which may be withdrawn at any time.

A short conversation, and yes Doug and I agreed, as lots of people already knew we did it, to confess as the sole perpetrators and not mention the other two who came along. So we met with our principal, and before we left her office were subjected to six hits on each hand with her thick leather strap. She wasn’t very good at it and it was all Doug and I could do not to break out in laughter. In retrospect many years later it was not a very nice thing to do, was it? However, it was Halloween . . . Our other fun Halloween “trick” took place during the building of the new high school a couple of years later. There was a lot of spare lumber and building materials lying around the school yard, so in the dark of the night a group of us went over to the school and quickly, very quickly, built a small yet impassable barricade in front of the school—on the No. 3 highway route through town. It wasn’t long before there was a big traffic backup, and the police arrived—so we ran home after yet another successful Halloween adventure. And this time we weren’t caught!

Opinion

to the editor

Wear a white poppy for peace

Editor, The Gazette: Remembrance Day is approaching and once again, I find myself conflicted about wearing a poppy. To me, the poppy has always said, “Never Again,” and commemorated the fact that humanity had learned the lesson of the futility and fruitlessness of warfare on Armistice Day, 1918. But now I ask myself, “did that war ever stop?”It seems the world has been at war pretty well every day ever since. I read that Canada has spent close to $1 billion moving our troops (who began as “peacekeepers,” but ended as warriors) back from one small section of the Mideast wars for oil and Israel, that of the Afghanistan Theatre. What the cost was for that ill-advised adventure will likely never be admitted, but the pointlessness of sustaining this loss is obvious—the cost benefit ratio

was about infinity to zip! And now we’re at it again, meddling once more in the Middle East, solving problems into which we haven’t been invited, by readying to drop bombs on civilians the drivers of our multi-million dollar deliver platforms will never even see! This puts me into conflict about wearing the poppy. I wear it every year but I fear that to many it says, “Yay, war!” The TV will show columns of gung-ho cadets, reservists, and regular troops parading about with much pomp and ceremony to stirring music, displaying their tools of war. Having been a part of such celebrations, as a cadet and reservist, I wondered how my statement, poppy and all, was being interpreted. Was I rooting for more war, or attending a sad funeral, one both for the sucked-in uniformed victims of the fallacy that peace comes from the barrel of a gun (or

from under the wing of a CF-18!) and for the proportionately, many more victims of this sick thinking; the millions of innocent civilians murdered in the name of “peace”? So I was gratified to learn of the White Poppy Movement.The alternative, or complementary, white poppy is the symbol of a worldwide “project (which) challenges the beliefs, values and institutions that make war inevitable, and presents an alternative view of security and how to achieve it without violence.” At last! A poppy I can fully believe in! This year, as last, they’re being offered in a few cafés and stores here in Grand Forks, but this year, I’m happy to say, there will be more available. I’d like to suggest to your readers that they consider a white poppy to convey the message of peace. Pete Snidal, Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette: To the producers of the ad [video], “What The %$#@ Is Borscht?” (http://vimeopro. com/user824322/grand-forkssettle-down/video/107218556) the correct spelling is B-O-RS-H-C-H in English—the last consonant of the word in Russian is pronounced “shch”; the producers of the ad, or staff at Grand Forks City Hall, could simply have asked any local

Russian language student how to spell it. Besides the spelling issue, the ad in its entirety is poorly researched, poorly produced, and exhibits an underlying prejudice while playing on negative cultural stereotypes. As a teacher, Doukhobor and life-long resident of Grand Forks, I am appalled. To those involved in producing this ad, give your head

a shake. To those involved in approving and paying for this ad, specifically those at Grand Forks City Hall: you owe the Doukhobor community, as citizens of Grand Forks, a sincere apology for your blatant lack of cultural understanding, sensitivity and respect. Robb Stevenson, Russian Language Teacher, GFSS, Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette: “And the candidates are…” it says on the front page of our Gazette. And then follows a long list of hopefuls for the positions of councillors and mayor. I am clenching my fists and gritting my teeth because I can’t vote for any of those guys. I am a Canadian citizen,

I have a Grand Forks address and phone number, I do all my shopping here and I have lived in my house for more than 30 years. So how come I can’t vote for even a single councillor? It’s because I live outside the city limits! I can put my name on the candidates list and even become mayor if I’m so

inclined, but I cannot vote for them. It just doesn’t seem right!! Sure, I can vote for Area D director and even for one school trustee. But why not also for at least ONE councillor? There truly are some laws that ought to be changed! Gisela Ko, Grand Forks

Isn’t right to deny vote in city

Five terrible reasons to run for municipal office

Ever wonder what motivates a person to run for municipal council? While some run with the best of intentions, some folks have really bad, or at least really misguided, motives. Here are my top five bad reasons Guest in the to run: Spotlight 1) “People are ready for change!” Newsflash: everyone says that, evDANIELLE KLOOSTER ery election. Sometimes it’s true and sometimes it’s just perception. Often times, when voters go behind that screen, they get a bit scared of change (which is natural) and they go for the known quantity. That aside, it is my opinion that you just plain need a better reason to run. If the best you can do is “Hey, I’m new!”… I mean, come on. You need to understand budgets, financial statements, water, sewer, garbage, road construction, residential/commercial/industrial development, the role of governance, Inter-municipal relations, by-laws, social and economic development and more. Have you done your homework on this stuff? Do you have INFORMED positions? Do you have proven leadership experience? Have you ever even sat on a board? As a voter I need to know about what qualifies you for the job and what you stand for. Simply representing “change” is woefully inadequate. Furthermore, as of the day you are sworn in, you officially cease being “change” and become part of the institution — it’s what you’re signing up for. And if you think that folks are magically going to like you better than the last group, think again. The moment you sit down to the council table, you officially become “them”. This I promise. 2) “I’m going to clean house!” Uh, no you’re not. If you envision yourself walking into the municipal office and taking over operations, firing a bunch of people, and generally sticking your nose into administration’s business, you’re in for a rude awakening. If you want to manage your town or city, apply for the job. The CAO’s job is management; your role as a councillor is governance. You don’t get to direct the staff. You are not the bylaw officer, the public works foreman or the HR director. In fact, you have only one employee—the CAO. And guess what? In many communities, the CAO has an employment contract. You can’t just ditch this guy so you can take over running the place. Even if you get a new guy, you still don’t have the right to manage the municipality, Besides, removal would take a majority vote of council and would cost the ratepayers a whole bunch of money. You don’t have to like the town manager or any of the staff but as a councillor you are legally bound to do things properly (spoiler alert: you’re going to take an oath to that effect this if you get elected). 3) “I’m going to fix the [insert pet peeve such as snow removal/pot holes/bike lanes] situation!” Another very misguided statement that reveals a fundamental lack of understanding of how councils function. It’s an interesting dichotomy, of course, since candidates run as individuals, but then, to get anything accomplished, you have to work as a team. The truth of the matter is that you have NO POWER outside of council chambers. Even around the council table, your power extends only to the amount of influence you can leverage during debate, and to your (ONE) vote. I would add: while it’s true that you have no power outside of chambers, you are ALWAYS a representative of the municipality. You ought never overstep your bounds or ram through your personal agenda. You have a responsibility to consider all matters related • See FIVE TERRIBLE REASONS page A11

Letters

www.grandforksgazette.ca A7

to the editor

Statement about dispensary disgusting Editor, The Gazette: I must respond to Sylvia Treptow’s letter of Oct. 29. I read your lengthy letter titled “City being used as pawn by pro-marijuana faction” with amazement and honestly embarrassment. It is hard for me to fathom that someone in this day and age still harbours these antiquated and ill informed opinions. No one is using anyone as a pawn, Sylvia. Medical marijuana is a proven cure for many ailments and provides much needed relief for millions of people around the world suffering from a plethora of illnesses. So, someone sees a market for this type of product and goes through the proper channels in order to provide this safe and proven medicine and this deserves your ire? Why? As for your comments on signage

and such, have you considered business security? Could it be that the business has just not received their signs yet? Why is it that you are so opposed, Sylvia? Adults have a right to choose their method of relief, don’t they? If your doctor told you that this type of medicine would be right for you, would you dismiss his/ her advice out of hand? I would think that very foolish. As an end note I would like to quote your comment at the all candidates meeting. You asked why residents were not notified of the business opening and exclaimed, “What’s next, pedophiles?“ Really, Sylvia, pedophiles! Your comment is a slap in the face to the innumerable victims of pedophiles around the world and I believe you should publicly apologize for making

this ridiculous and unfounded claim! A legal business dispensing medicine is comparable to pedophiles? This statement is utterly disgusting and you should be ashamed of your ignorant behaviour. Did the city notify you when another liquor store opened in Grand Forks? I think not. If you do any amount of reading, look up the statistics for liquor-related injuries and fatalities directly caused by alcohol and then do the same with marijuana and see what stats you get. Maybe it will open your eyes! I support new business in Grand Forks and hold dear an adult’s right to choose, so good on you, whomever you are for your start-up business. I hope you succeed, feeble minds be damned! Jack Sorelensen, Grand Forks

Mayor and council using scare tactics Editor, The Gazette: Many homeowners are scared that if they don’t book an appointment for a water meter, that the city will charge them $2,500 for a pit meter. Most of these residents don’t want these meters installed, and it looks like the mayor and city council are using this financial threat to shove these meters down our throats. Well, it’s working...people are scared. Who can afford $2,500 for a water meter? And how can we even trust them with this figure of $2,500? They said it was going to be something like $600$800 last summer. Now it’s up to $2,500. What next? But is this any way to run a city? Using scare tactics? Looking back on the

history of Grand Forks, sad to say I can’t recall a darker and more threatening political time for this city than now. On the bright side ... Just a few weeks to election time, folks. Don’t make the water meter appointments just yet. Wait until the election is over ... after Nov. 15, things will change. We’ll have a new mayor and council that will listen to the people. Also, it appears the mayor and council’s new slogan for Grand Forks is “Settle Down” (along with a real ugly logo). Come on ... kind of ironic, isn’t it? Who would want to live in a town that is run by a mayor and council that don’t listen to the residents, that are using scare tactics to enforce their own agenda

on the residents, who are in favour of radiating everyone with antiquated RF water meters, where the air is often filled with industrial stench, where stores are closing, where roads are crumbling and we have ancient water lines? This town looks like it has been terribly mismanaged. Quality of life has also dropped in Grand Forks just in the past three to six years or so. Who would want to move here? “Settle down”? Come on. We elected these guys into office?? What were we thinking? Time for a change! Don Lea, Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette: I enjoy reading Milton Orris’ memories of his childhood in Grand Forks. It is good to see the name Orris in our Gazette, again. I’ve only lived in Grand Forks since 1970 but have always been interested in its history. I just wanted to let Milton

know that his memories of Jim Flynn were much appreciated but I do know that Jim lived until the age of 94 and was still golfing into his 90s. I remember reading in the Gazette that he had won a golf tournament at Christina Lake at the age of 88. I did check my memories by using

Jim and Alice Glanville’s publication Grand Forks—The First 100 Years. Rattlesnake Bill’s last name was Puritch. He wasn’t just renowned for his rattlesnakes, his iron work and his multitudes of cats but in his younger days as a wrestler. I believe I live on the property which housed Bill and his many cats. I remember feeling very sad when his cats were “rounded up” but it was necessary. I’ve found many a piece of iron and a few old bottles as I dig through my yard and they always remind me that I am living on a piece of Grand Forks history. Keep up the good work, Milton. I, for one, certainly enjoy your stories. Doreen Sorensen, Grand Forks

Milton Orris’ stories very enjoyable

Area D School Trustee Candidate

VAL RICH The valley has been my home for over 14 years. A wonderful and fascinating place to live. Prior to retiring here we operated a successful contracting company for many years. When we decided to retire here, schooling was high on our agenda since we were raising 2 grandsons, 6 and 14 years old at the time. Now both working adults. When they attended school here we volunteered in the one to one reader program at Hutton , the PAC for many years and many school activities. We had already experienced many years of public education raising a combined family of 13 children. We now have 42 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. Throughout the years I have visited many schools and have witnessed many changes in education some good some not so good but like they say a work in progress. My late husband and I spent five years in the GFBMX club, he as president and I secretary/treasurer. The parents and kids were an amazing group of people. We especially enjoyed the connection to the community. I now operate a part time seasonal nursery dealing with plants and cut flowers. I have advocated for parents and kids who were having struggles navigating the school system here. Participated in a literacy tutor course put on by Sheila Dobie through CBAL. During the years I have attended many board meetings and kept current with the issues. I would definitely like to see the GFSS cafeteria reopened considering this is a social and educational hub for our kids As a trustee I would like to engage the community in building and maintaining our school system that reflects local priorities. I have strong concerns about openness and transparency for the parents and all the people of the community regarding public education. I have only one vote on the board so teamwork is essential. We all bring diversity and many different experiences to the table. Most importantly I am open minded and accessible, education is key to our children’s future and most importantly do vote. Feel free to come ask questions and discuss issues. I will be available at Jogas Espresso Café this Saturday, Nov. 8th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Forum for Area D school trustees and mayoral candidates Wednesday, Nov. 5th at 6 p.m. Grand Forks Secondary School.

Corporation of the City of Grand Forks Candidates for Councillor Six to be elected

JULIA BUTLER

I am a long time homeowner and resident within Grand Forks city limits. I operate my own landscaping business and have worked for the past three years as a lifeguard and fitness instructor at GF REC. I have decided to raise my children here because of the values and lifestyle that a rural community has to offer. When I come home from out of town and drive down Spencer’s Hill the view always reminds me of how good it is to be home. Sure, we have some issues that we are dealing with here, but

when you take a look around the world, we are truly blessed in this valley. I started attending council meetings last January because of an issue that greatly concerned me and over the past nine months I have become acquainted with the wide variety of issues facing our town. The amount of research required to stay informed on both policy and legalities involved in the Community Charter and higher levels of government is extensive. After already investing so much time, I feel confident that I can

properly represent the citizens of Grand Forks and restore a voice to the people. I believe council should take their orders from the people and then lobby the provincial and federal governments in line with what the community desires. My experience and observation has shown the opposite is taking place. I have no prior experience in politics nor have I ever wanted to be called a politician. I’m just a concerned citizen like everyone else who wants to see some of the key issues resolved in a financially re-

sponsible way. I’m hoping that this new council can create a friendly interactive relationship with residents that will bolster community spirit, volunteer involvement and economic investment.

LORRAINE DICK

Since 1944, four generations of my family have lived in Grand Forks. I was finally able to SETTLE DOWN here and join them in 2007. I love our ORIGINAL, PEACEFUL, LIVING. The fact that we’re known for our RASPBERRY, STRAWBERRY AND CHERRY BUT NOT OUR TRAFFIC JAMS, and I am proud that SIMPLE, FRESH AND LOCAL reflects our diet not our view of each other. During the 2011 election, Roy Ronaghan said in the Gazette, “An election is not a popularity contest and those who are selected to gov-

ern on behalf of everyone should be chosen carefully.” I challenge voters to choose carefully. You, the voter, must assess each candidate on his or her own merits; assessing whether he or she is able to perform the work of running our city, is able to make essential decisions as they arise, and especially is able to work with each other. The following are some of my qualifications: • I am an organized self-motivated team builder who can adapt easily to change. I have a demonstrated ability to work well with

competing demands, to set and achieve goals, and to practice diplomacy. I have excellent communication skills; I listen to understand. • I have served three years and counting as coordinator of the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program, providing income tax filing for the vulnerable members of our community. • I have served five years on the Economic Development Advisory Council including chair of the Tourism Committee. • I am a member of BC Tenant

Resource and Advisory Council whose mandate is to ensure vulnerable tenants know their rights. • I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from University of Regina and a 20-year career in software and education. My name is Lorraine Dick and I would be honoured to serve as councillor for the people of Grand Forks.

ZAK EBURNESTOODLEY

Life-long Grand Forks resident Zak Eburne-Stoodley is running for city council for the third time and is asking Grand Forks residents to support him in his dream of helping lead this beautiful city into the future. “This is a gem among communities,” he said. “I can’t imagine living anywhere else. With your help, I will be a fresh voice on city council. I will work hard for you and make sure your voice is heard.” Zak says people didn’t have enough say in regard to water

meters. “If I had been on council, I would have listened. Many people are concerned about radiation, I would have promoted analogue meters, without a monthly reading fee. I think that would have been a good step towards mediation.” Regarding the future of water meters, Zak says, “Yes, we need to conserve water. Yes, there are many ways we could have done that. But now, with many meters installed and being bound by contracts, it would be hard to stop the meters without putting the city at

financial risk. “However, I can see in the future discontinuing the reading fee for analogue meters, or perhaps even making meters voluntary.” Zak has an extensive, proven track record of community service. He has spent many years volunteering for local events, groups and organisations. “Actually, I can’t think of one I haven’t helped out with! “I am in this for the long haul.” Zak says. “I will be here to deal with issues such as domesticated deer, the depletion of our business

community, and our aging infrastructure and the many others that will come council’s way, and I will do it with honesty, integrity and transparency. “Please contact me any time at 442-3854 or zakeburne@gmail.com with any questions or concerns you want to discuss with me.”

RICHARD FAUSTEN

To begin my introduction, I grew up in Europe, in a country then known as Czechoslovakia. After graduating from trade school, I received my degree of electronics from the University of Prague. I worked in the research department of the Tesla/Phillips Company until the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. I escaped to Austria, where I resided briefly until immigrating to Canada. From spring of 1969, I worked my way through the ranks of shipyard employment. After a time

I was able to purchase the company which, under my guidance, expanded. I employed 30 people and we serviced the Coast Guard, the RCMP, and the Department of Fisheries. When I retired in 1989 I purchased an RV park. My wife and I married in 1994, two years after we met. Together we retired from our split endeavors and united to purchase the Spencer Hill Orchard in Grand Forks. In 2006, we sold the orchard and moved into the beautiful city of Grand Forks.

As my life has proven, I am apt and experienced in business development. I assisted the city council in Richmond for four years as business development consultant. In Grand Forks I was a member of the tourism committee where I designed and assisted in building the information sign east of the city. More recently, I became a member of the Economics Development Advisory Committee for the city. I believe I have the knowledge to become a valuable member of the city council. My goal is to renew the commu-

nication between citizens of Grand Forks and their city council.

CHRIS HAMMETT

I moved to Grand Forks in 2004, leaving the hustle and bustle of big city life behind. I love the quite, peaceful lifestyle, friendly people and slower pace, but I’m deeply concerned about not only the lack of growth, but the negative growth within our community. In order for any community to flourish it requires a strong economy, whether it be agricultural, retail, or industrial. I am a strong supporter of buying locally. Statistics show that for every $1 spent in Grand Forks, $.80 stays in Grand Forks; provid-

ing employment for you, me, your family, and neighbours. Unfortunately, we are not a self sustaining community with all of the products and services necessary to eliminate the need for out of town, or over the border shopping. My past 10 years were spent working at the Gazette where I had the pleasure of meeting many of the business owners in the boundary. I’ve seen businesses thrive while others have closed, and I’ve listened to many of your concerns. I am also a past retail owner, so I have a good comprehension of the

trials and tribulations of the small business owner during an economic downturn. A strong economy benefits us all. My goal is to help promote economic growth by working with a team that is committed to business recruitment; encouraging a wide variety of shops, services and new clean industry. We require an attractive, fully serviced community in order to entice potential new employers. I believe our current administration has made positive steps towards that goal and I would like the op-

portunity to work on a winning team to help our community flourish. Anyone who knows me knows that I am extremely hardworking, dedicated, and determined. I can’t make any promises, but if elected, I will humbly do my best to serve our great city.

PATRICK O’DOHERTY

LARRY PODMOROFF

I am Cathy Korolek, married with two children and three grandchildren. Originally, from Fort St. James. Moved to Grand Forks 11 years ago, Rod went to work for Pope & Talbot. I love what I do and I love where I live, downtown. I can be found at Heart n’ Sole Quilts, come to talk... I care about our community, our values, the people who live and share our community. Keeping everyone safe. Well paying jobs, adequate housing, accessible medical, all im-

portant concerns identified in the Vital Signs report. I’ve gone to Nepal on a medical mission, worked with amazing people helping children. I worked with two women collecting approximately 2,000 quilts from our area. The Wrap a Smile Project has gathered over 20,000 quilts, 20,000 children have received these gifts of love. After 23 years as administrator then personal banker, I opened Heart n’ Sole Quilts. I am very comfortable developing business

plans, setting goals. It is important to support local business, encourage new startups, mentoring programs, work with the regional chamber to promote our town as place to visit, explore the outdoors, experience our shops. Eight hundred quilt projects later, I am still going strong. Having met, shared confidences and inspiration with hundreds of people. Many come to Grand Forks, have lunch, often stay the night. I am a Rotarian of 23 years. Cur-

rently, assistant governor, looking after seven clubs (five in B.C., two in Washington). I am very excited about the water park. We have travelled the world and we live in the best place... Please cast your vote for me, Cathy Korolek, Nov. 15.

Hello, my name is Neil Krog, my wife Andrea and I passed through Grand Forks on our honeymoon 27 years ago. We liked the community so much that we, along with our family, moved here. I am a First Aid Safety Instructor for Selkirk College, I also own Twisted Forks Catering. I have previously served on city council for 15 years and was also a director for the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary. I would like to thank the citizens of Grand Forks for allowing me to

serve on council for the past three years and would appreciate your support to continue. I quickly realized that being an effective councillor does not always concern the big projects or controversies. The bulk of the job is the detail work, the bylaws, the paperwork, and the behind the scene governance that makes the community function smoothly. In my time on council I have seen things that worked and those that did not, my experience allows me to function effectively within

the framework of what we call local government. People ask what we have done about economic development. We recently received the prestigious “Open for Business Award.” We created a community profile that has been distributed around the world and throughout the province of B.C. We have done considerable advertising through multiple forms of media. Council members have attended the Economic BC Conference. We now have promotional videos

highlighting our community and have made presentations to the development world. We compiled a lands showcase that has been sent out through the Canadian Urban Development Institute. We have created a reputation as a community that knows how to facilitate development. With your support I would like to continue to work hard to achieve our strategic goals for the benefit of Grand Forks. Thank you.

Grand Forks has been my home for 60 years. I am happily married for almost 19 years. I have six children, ages from six to 46 years old. My wife, Mei-Lan, and I are owners of the Grand Forks Castle Centre. I have started and operated several success local businesses over the last 50 years. I’ve decided to run for city council because I felt I owe a lot of my business success to Grand Forks. This city has been very good to me and my family, and now I would like to give back

to my city. I want to offer my business skills and experience, and to have a part in helping direct our city in a positive direction of. My extensive business background will be an asset in city council. I am experienced with all facets of running businesses and successful business management. I feel that the City of Grand Forks should be run as a business, by persons with business management experiences, after all, it is a corporation. City council is like the board of

directors of a corporation. Elected members of the board are given a great level of responsibility and trust, responsibility to ensure that the shareholders get good value for their hard earned dollars, responsibility to be good stewards of the shareholders’ assets. They must never forget that they are answerable to the taxpayers, you, the shareholders. When you elect me to council, I would be honoured and privileged for your trust. I will accept my responsibility earnestly and grate-

fully; I will work diligently, with integrity and honesty, for you, the shareholders of the corporation. I will work for the best interest of the City of Grand Forks, your city, my city, and the city of our children. I humbly ask for your vote on Nov. 15.

My name is Patrick O’Doherty. I am running for Grand Forks City Council. Over the past 45 years I have owned and operated a plumbing, heating and chimney sweeping business in Grand Forks and Boundary area. I know the challenges of running a small business. I will bring this experience to the decision making of city council. I have supported all upgrades to the city sewer system. I would like to expand it to all neighbourhoods who currently are without sewer eg. Johnson Flats and Ruckle

Addition. I will work for the upgrade of 22nd Ave. I will support Grand Forks Rotary in completing the water spray park in City Park. During the last three years on council we have upgraded community wells including the installation of generators. We now have 24-hour protection including protection against power outages. In my opinion we have saved $6 million. No need for a second reservoir. We have fire protection for

the West End. I will support the GFI. I know the economic importance to the community. In fact, I have volunteered at the GFI for 35 years. I promote the Grand Forks Border Bruins and minor hockey. In fact I volunteered as a referee for 18 years. I am a member and volunteer at the Royal Canadian Legion. In closing, I am committed to the voters of Grand Forks. I am always available. I am downtown meeting and hearing what the citizens are

saying about our city. It has been an honour to represent the City of Grand Forks. I am asking for your support and vote on Nov. 15. A vote for Patrick O Doherty is a vote for progress and quality of life in Grand Forks. I LISTEN.

Born and educated in Grand Forks for over 60 years, the Podmoroff family has been a part of the heritage and culture that made Grand Forks. Having attended trade school in Kelowna for carpentry and apprenticed throughout B.C., Larry went into business on his own for cabinet making and finishing. He currently is still self employed as a finishing contractor in Grand Forks. With strong family roots in the community he now seeks to run for council.

His interests are the same as yours, to see the City come back to a positive cash flow, improvements and replacement of the aging infrastructure, more ethical hunting practices, forming a project committee for the water meter program and get public involvement before going any further, restructure of the City Hall and improvements to animal control with bylaws for the parks, schools and walkways. Economic development is the key to bringing in new businesses to Grand Forks. With support of

the already flourishing business association we can ensure tourism, recreation, logging, mining and agriculture are represented in our community plan. With no “political” experience his quest for making the community a better place was a factor in running for council. His involvement in the community will mean that he will work diligently on your behalf. He is willing to listen to anyone and take suggestions and ideas from the public back to council. What he lacks in experi-

ence is compensated by his vision to bring a knowledge and history of the city heritage to the table. And, if you empower him with your confidence, he will do everything to represent your interests and achieve common goals and ideals.

COLLEEN ROSS

GARY SMITH

TERESA TAYLOR

CHRISTINE THOMPSON

MONIQUE VAN EWYK

I love working with people who share a vision of a more fair, cleaner and equitable world. Grand Forks is an important part of that world. I want to be a part of a brighter future here, for everyone. A thriving Grand Forks means a better life for all of us, and it will draw people to this wonderful place, and keep them here! I chose to live in Grand Forks because of the friendly community, gorgeous surrounding wilderness, the fertile soil, sunshine, water and opportunities to build a thriving future within our region. Together

we can rejuvenate a resilient community that brings the urban and rural closer together for mutual benefit, while respecting and appreciating the wild spaces we are privileged to live so close to. My record, coupled with being a successful business owner, gives me a balanced, professional, grassroots approach to actionoriented decision making. I am vice-president of the Grand Forks and Boundary Region Agriculture Society, and a member/producer of the Kettle Valley Food Co-op. I

bring experience from tables at the national and international level including as a delegate to the United Nations, as vice-president of the National Farmers’ Union of Canada and as agricultural advisor to several Members of Parliament. My vision as a councillor for the City of Grand Forks is to: • Listen to you and respect your views • Promote dignified, long-term job creation • Regenerate and protect our local food culture

• Develop agricultural and arts tourism • Create value-added opportunities for agricultural and other products • Establish Grand Forks as a GMO free zone • Ensure the sustainability and safety of our water supply • Expand economic opportunities for the arts in our city • Advocate for a greener Grand Forks • Work hard to revitalize our downtown core

A vote for Gary Smith on Nov. 15 is a vote for experience and a vote for action. As co-chair of the Economic Development Advisory Committee we have brought our community to the province. Through our branding, marketing and economic profile we have offered ourselves up as the “hidden gem” of B.C. and people are taking notice. On this last Thursday I was in Kelowna to help present our community to nearly 150 developers, bankers and other business people

at a luncheon hosted by Grand Forks to the Urban Development Institute. The day before that, our city presented at the Provincial Nominee Program, a provincial program aimed at featuring B.C. communities to foreign investors and business people looking to settle in our province. Chairing the Deer Committee we have established a WildSafe BC education program to inform residents on the impacts of human behaviours on the deer population, we are working on improved sig-

nage, we are tagging and collaring a small number to better understand our resident herds, we have the referendum question on the ballot for citizens to decide if a cull should be considered an option, and I have the commitment from Minister Thomson for the establishment of a ministry-supported committee to aid all communities thus afflicted. As co-chair of the Environment Committee I organized the collection of several hundred pounds of unwanted, obsolete, and unused

pesticides for safe disposal, led the installation of several bat-houses to reduce reliance on pesticides for mosquito control, and can report that the city is well on its way to meeting its carbon-neutrality target well before 2030. There has been much talk among candidates about what to do. I say I have been doing it and it is being done. Vote for the doer on council. Vote Gary Smith. facebook/garysmithforcouncil.com. 250-443-1256.

The best way to improve the places we choose to live is to get involved. In 1996, I chose Grand Forks for its down-to-earth nature, genuine and hardworking citizens and the rural lifestyle we enjoy. I am a forward thinking woman, driven by passion for our community. I hold a degree in Social Work with focus on community development, social management and policy. I have worked in social service for 20 years, and as marketing and communications consultant for rural entrepreneurs for

10 years. As a professional facilitator, I research information, analyze it and use it to facilitate discussion among diverse groups of people. This is what I hear the from the community: 1. Economic diversity and employment opportunity. There is great opportunity in our region to diversity the economy. In addition to alleviating economic risk, this attracts a wider range of residents with varied skills and interests.

2. Positioning for our future. Our city is in transition. We need vision, planning and determination to serve the needs of today as well as those of the next generation. What kind of city do we want our grandchildren to live in and are we on the right path? We should not be afraid of growth. We should guide it. 3. Collaboration across the Boundary. The communities of the Boundary Country must combine their energies and identify areas in

which co-operation backed with the force of combined numbers, leads to mutual benefit. We have a wealth of community spirit in Grand Forks. Harnessing this spirit is a key role of council— identifying the community champions of our region and supporting them with forward action. I’d like to hear your vision for Grand Forks. Contact me at 250 442 8878 or visit me online www. teresataylor.ca.

My name is Christine Thompson, and I am seeking your support to represent you as a councillor for our city. As a long-time resident of our city; as a 23-year employee of our city; and having been privileged to serve one term as a councillor, I bring to the table the skills, knowledge and ability to be an effective member of your council. I have experience in how the financing and operations of municipalities work. Being the lowest form of government, but closest to its constitu-

ents, councillors must listen to all sides of an issue that matters to the electorate and to make a decision that they believe will benefit the community as a whole. You will always know the reason behind any decision I make, whether you agree with me or not. That is a promise that I can make and keep. Issues concerning our citizens range from water meters; keeping young families in our community; elimination of the surplus generated in the electric utility; construction of a sidewalk on the

south side of 72nd Ave. from 27th St. to 19th St.; the economy in our city; and, upgrading the aging infrastructure. All of these issues need to be brought to the table and publicly debated by the new council. I very much want to be a part of that debate. I am dedicated to our city and serve on many organizations, including the Phoenix Foundation, Grand Forks Fall Fair, and the Gilpin Grasslands Committee. I am honest, responsible and reliable. I have the desire and the time to

read, research and consult on issues that are important to you and to me. I ask that on Nov. 15 you vote for me, Christine Thompson, to represent you on our city council.

I grew up in Castlegar, B.C. and am no stranger to small town life. I am hard working, loyal, and dedicated to my beliefs and causes. Combined with my Business Administration Management Diploma and background in working for non profit organizations, small family businesses, and government health office, I believe I have much to offer this great town. I would like to bring our diverse cultures, activities, and beautiful town to light with events to attract tourists with encouragement to

settle down. I would love to bring a humane and just solution to our urban deer by working with our deer council, SPCA, and provincial government, by creating a wildlife park where the deer are safe and tourists can visit them. Grand Forks was once the #1 supplier of vegetable seeds in Canada! With the demand of GMO free foods, we have the perfect area to grow GMO free seeds and export them. Grand Forks is a border town, and perfect for importing and exporting products.

I envision a downtown full of life during the day and a nightclub to go dancing in the evening, and these new businesses are not being taxed out of business. I believe this town has a lot to offer, and now is the time to showcase who we are. I am running because I am the working class, and I will not be pushed around and silenced. I will be your voice of equality and fairness for us, the citizens of Grand Forks. When Nov. 15 comes, vote for

Van Ewyk, because I want to help bring Grand Forks the growth and prosperity we need!

Councillor

MICHAEL WIRISCHAGIN

I am Grand Forks born and raised with my family spanning four generations in this community. I am seeking a third term on council as I have a vested interest in Grand Forks—this is where my family lives, this is where I am raising my family. My background is in city planning, attending University of British Columbia; I

also have a two-year certificate in local government financial administration from Dalhousie University as well as a five-year national advanced certificate in local government administration from Dalhousie. I have sat and currently sit on various boards, currently being the vicepresident of the Grand Forks and District Recreation Commission, head coach of GFSS’s senior boys basketball team; past-president of the Border Bruins; and former director of marketing and promotions for the Grand Forks International (GFI), amongst others. I am a small business owner, owning/operating MKWW Enterprises, Ltd. In my opinion the top three challenges facing the city over the next four years are (in no particular order): 1.) Closing the infrastructure gap, 2.) Improving efficiency and effectiveness of our local municipal system of taxation, and 3.) Business attraction/retention.

To accomplish these goals I will remain focused on maintaining our standing as the model community in terms of assets management, positioning itself leaps and bounds ahead of other communities so that when infrastructure funding becomes available, Grand Forks will be first in line and we can work on closing the infrastructure gap. I am familiar with issues of concern for Grand Forks. I live within the city limits—any decision I make directly affects me. I am familiar with the Local Government Act, the Community Charter, but more than anything I have a vested interest in seeing Grand Forks prosper. We need to make Grand Forks affordable, efficient and effective—it starts from the top down with a strong council. That’s why I ask for your vote in the upcoming election.

Five terrible reasons to the strategic and fiscal direction of your municipality, and your job, as one member of a team, is to find ways to work together to make wise, informed, responsible decisions for the benefit of all. You are one of a group of decision-makers; no more, no less. You won’t have the ability to unilaterally wave a magic wand and fix all of the potholes (though people will think you can). When you make promises you can’t keep, you perpetuate the stereotype of politician. So stop it.

Continued from page A5

we care about is not spending any money? Yes, fiscal accountability and responsible spending are very, very important. And no one likes paying taxes, me included. But the number one responsibility of the councillor is NOT fiscal responsibility—it is rather to build community infrastructure for future generations. Shame on you if in 5, 10 or 25 years there is no water or sewer capacity or the roads are falling to pieces or there are insufficient playgrounds and recreation opportunities because you were busy pinching pennies.

4) “We have to get rid of the current corrupt/secretive/self-serving/incompetent bunch!” Ultimately, there are good councillors and bad Ah, the ever popular “anti” campaign… this councillors in every community. Some mayors tactic, sadly, is often successful. It resonates with and councillors who should never be in office do coffee klatsches and angry people.

Whether it’s dealing with daylight saving time or jet lag in toddlers, a change in your tot’s body clock can derail hard-won bedtime routines. Here’s how you can make sure your little sleepy-head stays on schedule. When making the switch to “spring forward” or “fall back,” the following tips will help tots stay in sync with their body clocks.

• Stay the course. That means chang-

ing the clocks and nudging your little one to wake, eat, play, nap, and go to bed at the usual times according to what the clock says. He may be grumpy for a while, but the more you stick to your routines, the faster your tot will adjust to a time change.

• Keep him in the dark. Good luck trying to explain to a tot (who doesn’t even know how to tell time) what daylight saving time is or why he’s going to bed when it’s still light outside. You’ll have better luck fooling his internal body clock by blocking out the light in his room. Use room-darkening shades, curtains, blinds (even bed sheets in a pinch), to make darkness descend faster and speed up slumber. www.whattoexpect.com Success By 6 supports parents and communities in creating healthy, nurturing environments for our youngest children, so that by age 6, they are physically, socially, and emotionally ready to succeed in school.

NOTICE DEER TAGGING AND COLLARING Next week a small team of people including a Conservation Officer, a biologist with the Ministry of the Environment, a veterinarian, and a couple of support personnel will be tagging and collaring deer within City limits. A total of six does and three bucks are intended to be tranquilized with a non-narcotic drug, various physical measurements made, and then affixed with an ear-tag and a tracking collar. Trauma to the animals is expected to be minimal and their recovery to be less than an hour. The purpose is to gather information on movement and residency of urban deer. This will be used by the Deer Committee and Council for future decisions on deer management. Seth Hiebert, a member of the GFSS grad class of 2015, lays in wait at the Haunted Tree Maze that delighted fun-seekers for three nights spanning Halloween. The maze, held at Mars Magic Touch Day Spa, is in its second year as a grad fundraiser. Tim Blair photo

Although he’s not a military veteran, when Bud Alcock heard about the horrific murders of two soldiers on Canadian soil he felt compelled to stand guard at the cenotaph in Grand Forks in support. That’s not to say Alcock hasn’t provided great service to his country. He has worked as an RCMP officer, and in both provincial and federal corrections. Although he “technically” retired in 2006, he has been plenty busy working as a guard at the local RCMP detachment’s jail. He also works as an animal control officer for the Boundary and has been a long-time volunteer with both the GFI baseball tournament and the downtown parade committee. Before retiring, he worked at Matsqui Federal Penitentiary in the Lower Mainland as a correctional officer, a job he describes as being “99 per cent boredom and one per cent sheer terror.” “It was a challenging career,” he said. “It was a very good career. I made a lot of really good friends over the years. I worked with some really good people on both sides of the bars.” Alcock said he always had to be aware of what was going on around him because there was always the potential for danger. “Matsqui was what was called a high-medium institution but you can go to maximum security in a matter of minutes,” he said. Alcock said his father was a big reason he got into the police force.

“He was a police officer for 35 years,” he said. “He started off right here in Grand Forks with the B.C. Provincial Police in 1949.” After six years with the RCMP, Bud Alcock made the switch to provincial corrections and then to federal corrections in 1991. He retired in 2006 and he and his wife moved to Grand Forks shortly after, choosing the Boundary over the Island. Alcock was born here in Grand Forks but had moved around B.C. growing up. Although he grew up mostly in Prince Rupert, he graduated from L.V. Rogers in Nelson. He was glad to return to his roots after retiring. “My wife and I were looking for a place to retire to after living in the Fraser Valley,” he said. “My wife and I came out here on a miserable, rainy Thanksgiving weekend. We toured the Kootenays and Boundary country. I thought it was going to be a wasted trip as we left. I turned to my wife and said: What’s it going to be? The Island or the Kootenays? And she said, ‘What Island?’ We felt coming down Spencer Hill was just like coming home.” Alcock first heard about the cenotaph vigil on Facebook; it really struck a chord with him. “The American 9-11 really bothered me greatly when I heard about firefighters and police being killed,” he said. “The bottom line is I’ve always viewed police, firefighters, correctional officers, whatever, as being the heroes. We’re the ones who don’t get hurt. We’re the ones who go in and save people. That’s what our role is. When I saw them being killed—

BUD ALCOCK

that hurt badly.” Alcock said that when he saw soldiers getting gunned down on Parliament Hill, it brought back all those sentiments of 9-11. “At that time I heard the military had told their members not to wear their uniforms in public unless they’re on duty,” he said. “The police came out with a similar edict for their members, as did Corrections Canada. I thought, this is wrong. You’re forcing us to hide.” Alcock was a member of the Corrections Canada honour guard, and, fortunately, still had his dress uniform which he proudly wore at the cenotaph while on vigil. “I thought it was time to dust it off and stand out there and show I was proud of my uniform, proud of my service and proud of my country and show respect for both Warrant Officer Vincent and Corporal Cirillo.”

Despite having only lived in Grand Forks for about two weeks, when Bill Emery heard about the attacks on the two Canadian soldiers he didn’t hesitate to stand guard at the local cenotaph. “We were taking it back,” he said. “All across the country people have been standing by the cenotaph taking it back from the shooting that was done.” Like most of us, Emery was shocked when he heard about the shooting in Ottawa. “It really touches home that it could happen at home,” he said. “A lot of retired military people and serving people decided they were going to take it back.” Emery said the response from the public has been overwhelmingly positive. “People came up and were shaking our hands,” he said. “They didn’t know me but they knew Dave (Bachmier). They thanked us for being there. Some people brought flowers. Some came up and asked if they could get us anything.” Emery said it’s also important for the veterans to stand strong for Remembrance Day. “Just to remember all those who passed away and were killed in action,” he said. “For the people who died in the world wars. I didn’t have any family in those but from the Afghan war and Bosnia war, there was probably a couple dozen people who were friends of mine. The first five people killed in Afghanistan, I worked with. You work hand in hand and the next thing you know they’re in the funeral procession. It touches home.” Before moving to the Boundary, Emery spent 37 years in the military both as a soldier and as a civilian. He joined the Air Force in 1977 and served in uniform for 20 years. He then worked as a civilian from 2000-2014 in the military. He counts several highlights during his military career, including a three-year tour in Germany. “That was when the wall was still up so we couldn’t get into the Eastern countries when I was there—it was forbidden,” he said. Another highlight was a tour of Bosnia-Herzegovina during the conflict there in the early 1990s. “I was over there with NATO,” he said. “We were the first tour to take

over after the UN. So it was a completely different concept.” Emery said he remembers the different factions shooting over top of their camp at night. “We were right on the line,” he said. “In evenings when we were in camp, they would be pushing buttons to see our reaction. They wouldn’t shoot at the camp but they’d shoot over top. We’d have to send out patrols to chase them off.” He said they were basically living in sea containers converted into living quarters. Emery grew up in nearby Slocan Valley in the 1970s and joined the Air Force because “there wasn’t much there.” He and his brother both signed up at the same time. “We both ended up at some bases at the same time,” said Emery. “I needed a career. I wasn’t going to log or work in a sawmill.” He enjoyed the camaraderie with his fellow soldiers in the military. “All the people you meet; all the travelling you do—it was really good,” said Emery. “I’d do it again in a minute. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it all again.” Emery added that it’s a great feeling to be able to serve your country. “That was the highlight of everything,” he said. “That underscores everything. You do it for the flag; for your country. You don’t hesitate in anything you do. You just do it because that’s what you’re there for.” He started his career working as military police in a small base on the Saskatchewan/Alberta border called Alsask. “It was good,” he said. “It was a

small base and everyone knew everyone. You had to work as a team because there are no individuals when you’re that small. It’s a big family. It’s 100 people. You have to work together.” He then was transferred to Comox where he spent four years. From there it was off to Germany from 1983-1986. He went full circle and ended up back in Comox as a civilian where he worked as a finance officer. He retired on Oct. 23 of this year and moved out to the Boundary shortly after. “We’d been through Grand Forks on our holidays and we really like the area and the weather,” said Emery. “Just the people we met in the short time we were here.” He and his wife also like the growing conditions for their prize-winning dahlias. “We’ll have a huge dahlia garden,” he said. “We’ll have over 400 varieties. We go to competitions in the Lower Mainland and across the line. We’re working on the garden now to get it ready for the spring.” Emery also trains dogs in his spare time. He also struggles occasionally trying to keep the dogs away from the dahlias. “We have four dogs: three German Shepherds and a Shih Tzu,” he said. “They go to competitions a couple of times a year for tracking, obedience and protection.” With a strong background of service to the country, Bill Emery, and his wife, are a strong addition to our area.

I was very proud of that.” In 1981, he served in the first Gulf War in Doha, Kuwait. He remembers the stifling heat. “The average temperature for heat was 57 degrees Celsius during the day,” said Bachmier. “Twice we went up to 67. It dropped down to 42 for three days. It was so cold that we actually climbed into our sleeping bags to sleep. We were so acclimatized to 57 that 42 was cold to us.” He also got to work on a Canadian patrol frigate, the HMCS Vancouver. “We tested that fellow up and down the Eastern seaboard,” said Bachmier.

“We ended up buying 35 acres on the back of Spencer Hill,” he said. “That was the start of the recovery process that led to me being able to run a business instead of hiding.” It took about a year and a half before Bachmier felt confident enough to leave the mountain without his wife or dog. “I felt okay,” he said. “That was when I knew I had to move forward. We began training my dog Pinnaar to be a PTSD service dog.” Although Pinnaar isn’t yet fully certified as a service dog, Bachmier said they are working towards that through Wounded Warrior Canada. “At the end of (the program) you come out with a federally registered and certified training dog with her own identification that gives you more access,” he said. “We can start going to movies again, start going shopping again, start going to the all-candidates forum, which I couldn’t go to. There’s a huge building with so many people and so many unknowns. She gives me the strength that I actually own and run a business in town through her support.”

An “instructional lecture” by a firsttime, semi-competent father—that’s “Hello Baby”, a unique performance coming to the GEM Theatre next week by Boundary District Arts Council. Written and performed by Lucas Myers, Hello Baby answers the burning question of what happens when a selfinvolved man-child becomes a new father as well as providing helpful hints for other fathers-to-be such as: “Is your life as you know it really over?” And “Can you safely operate a fax machine / belt sander / breast pump on two hours sleep?” And “Is it really possible to become so obsessed with bowel movements and nipples that you a make up little nicknames for them? Like ‘Jerome’? Or Kathy?” All the things you were afraid to ask in prenatal class will be answered, and more!

Police briefs posely set, said Harrison. “There would’ve been no accidental cause attributed to the fire,” he said. “The batteries and fuel were removed from all the stacked cars that were to be crushed. So there wasn’t anything that would’ve caused a fire on its own. So, obviously, it was arson.” He said that police are unsure of what caused the fire at this time but do suspect arson and are currently investigating. The fire did not reach the buildings and there were no injuries reported. B&E at shed

Senior girls head to playdowns CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks Secondary senior girls volleyball team won two out of three games during a playday at the school on Oct. 23. GFSS beat L.V. Rogers of Nelson, Stanley Humphries of Castlegar and lost to Boundary Central from Midway in a tiebreaker. Coach Michele Lehagarte said the team has showed steady improvement throughout the season. “It was a ridiculously tight game against BCSS,” she said. “We went best two of three. We won the first game against them and lost the second. In our third game we went past 15 to finally secure an unfortunate lost. We’ve never beat Midway before so beating them in one match

was awesome. These girls have done great this year.” Lehagarte said the girls have really improved their teamwork. “We run a lot of practices,” she said. “We run more than I think they’ve ever been used to. We run three practices a week instead of the usual two. Their passing has really improved. Their hitting has gotten better as well, which is great.” On Oct. 24 and 25, GFSS hosted the Summerland Secondary squad, which they handily beat. The Wolves have a playday in Trail at J.L. Crowe today (Wednesday). Next up, GFSS heads to Selkirk College in Castlegar for the regional playdowns. From the playdowns, only two teams advance to single A provincials. The third and fourth place teams face off for the final wildcard spot at provincials.

Youth hit the wrestling mat CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A former American Navy wrestler has come to Grand Forks and started up a youth wrestling school program. After his kids got the wrestling bug, Clint Faulkner looked around and couldn’t find any local clubs so he decided to start his own up at the high school. Faulkner grew up in the United States. He wrestled in high school in Ketchikan, Alaska, which is near Prince Rupert. After high school, Faulkner joined the Navy. He eventually ended up wrestling for his ship’s (the USS Nimitz) wrestling team. After winning in a tournament, he was asked by the coach to join the U.S. Navy team in Greco-Roman and Freestyle. “I wrestled there for one year,” said Faulkner. “We wrestled against colleges and against the Army, Air Force and Marines.” Faulkner, who was a navigator on the Nimitz, said wrestling for the Navy was a great experience. “The big thing I got out of it was the one-onone coaching from Rob Herman and his assistant coaches,” he said. “It was a new thing for me. It was a high level of wrestling. I didn’t wrestle in college; I just wrestled in high school. I had a high level of talent but I was raw.” Faulkner said he enjoyed the individual aspect of wrestling when he competed. “It’s a team sport, absolutely; you have a wrestling team,” he said, “but it’s an individual sport and I like that. Swimming is similar. When you’re out there on the mat it’s just you and it’s the work you put in that’s going to pay off. If you didn’t put in the work you’ll see that too and I like that. You can’t blame anyone else.” In 1997, he left the Navy to get married and raise a family. During that time, he also went to college, travelled and worked various job. Faulkner moved to Grand Forks in 2005 with his family. “We were looking for small town living

to raise our newborn daughter.” Faulkner said the idea for the club came after his two kids, particularly his son Lincoln, showed an interest. “Lincoln’s really shown an interest in wrestling, I think because I have a background in wrestling,” said Faulkner. “He wants to do it and it’s just not offered here. ” Faulkner thought that if he could get the club started, they could compete across the border. “There’s an association just over the border called the Washington Little Guys Wrestling Association (WLGWA),” he said. “They’re mostly based in Spokane, but they have clubs all across Eastern Washington as well as Idaho and Montana. They have something like 3,200 wrestlers aged from 5-14, that’s the age group were doing here, with 78 different teams.” Faulkner is running the club for four weeks on Tuesdays from 5:15 to 6:30 p.m. at Grand Forks Secondary. The fall sessions wrap up on Nov. 18. There is no practice on Remembrance Day. Faulkner said the four-week fall program is meant to gauge local interest. “If there is enough interest it would be nice to have a club here and go across the border,” he said. “The Okanagan also has clubs. So kids would have someone to compete against.” Faulkner said the turnout has been very good with 50 kids coming out the first week and 35 the second. “The idea is to do this four-week program and if the interest is there we’ll regroup after Christmas break and we’ll try to start a regular wrestling club that meets regularly for the rest of the school year. The idea is we want to develop the skills in the kids.” Faulkner encourages anyone interested is welcome to come out to the last fall session. “The more kids the better,” he said. “Come out and learn.” The program is open to any children, male or female, from School District 51. For information email Faulkner at clintfaulkner@gmail.com or phone 250-442-3872.

Thank You At the end of September, the Kettle Valley Food Co-op embraced a partnership with Boundary Family and Individual Services Society and the Boundary Museum to open our traditional harvest festival celebration to a much wider community. What a wonderful idea that turned out to be! We shared the day with hundreds of people who soaked up the fall sunshine while chatting with neighbours, meeting some of our farmers, sampling homemade soup, discovering traditional ways of food processing and listening to some amazing local musicians and performers. When the dust settled, we were able to share community donations of cash between our two partners ... always a satisfying outcome. But even more rewarding was the feedback we received from people who came away heartened by this experience of community well being. Talented performers – who may at most have received a piece of apple pie for their efforts – included: story tellers, Anne Glover and Christy Luke; dancers, Manon Martel and the Hip Sisters; and musicians: Carla McEwan, Laura Jean and Greg Cuthbert, Jam Chato, the Underpaid Sidemen, Cavan’s Crew and Morrison’s Van. We would truly like to thank family-focused BFISS for their sizeable contribution, the Boundary Museum for ably hosting us all in their gem of a location and all our own volunteers who, like so many others that keep our community healthy, get up bright and early to contribute far more than we have any reason to expect. ~ Christine Carlson, KVFC President

Ralph Tedesco August 5,1924 – October 23, 2014

It is with profound sadness that the family of Ralph Tedesco announces his passing, at the age of 90. Ralph was born in Fife, B.C. on Aug. 5, 1924 and left this earth on Oct. 23, 2014 to reunite with his parents, Eugene and Helen and brother and sisters. Ralph will be forever remembered by his wife of 66 years, Paulette (Peggy). Ralph’s passing has left an immeasurable hole in the hearts of the family and friends he left behind. He will be forever missed by his daughter Sharon, granddaughter Michelle (Dustin), grandson Michael and adoring great-grandchildren, London and Cruz. Ralph and Peggy’s work ethic made it possible for them to have many successful ventures in the hotel business. They started with the Leland Hotel in Nakusp, followed by the Skeena in Terrace before ﬁnally settling in Langley with the ownership of the Langley hotel. Ralph was a consummate professional whose passion for business and gentle nature made him a likeable and very well respected employer. Ralph was a car enthusiast and aviation buff. He owned many impeccably kept Cadillacs over the years and logged many miles in his Cessna from the Langley airport. Above all else, Ralph loved his family. To honor his life and in lieu of ﬂowers, please donate to the Salvation Army in Grand Forks… without them Ralph and his brother and sisters would not have survived. “They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies.” – Williams Penn
