The new mayor and council were introduced to Grand Forks last night at the inaugural council meeting at City Hall. Mayor Frank Konrad and the six councillors were brought into council chambers by a piper and then were sworn in by acting corporate officer Sarah Winton. Acting city administrative officer Diane Heinrich introduced the new council and gave a brief recap of how the reconstruction of City Hall has gone since it was burned down in a fire in September 2013. “We’re really excited to have this at our City Hall,” said Heinrich. “It’s been a long time in coming to be back in this building. We have one more meeting scheduled (Dec. 15) at the Canpar office, then we will be here permanently. A lot of people went to a lot of work to get this set up.” City Hall had to be fixed up and chairs and tables brought in to facilitate the inaugural meeting. “The upstairs was almost complete but there was no furniture up there yet,” said Winton to the Gazette. “So it had to be cleaned and we had to get chairs up there.” Winton said it was important to have the inauguration at City Hall because, “that is the place where city business takes place.”

“It was just timely for them to be able to have their first meeting at the newly renovated City Hall,” she added. With seating for only around 50 people, council chambers was full for the ceremony and about 15 people had to wait outside by order of the fire marshall. There were a few matters taken care of by council in their first meeting including appointments of acting mayor and the council representatives to both the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) and the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital District board. The order of alternate mayors was reversed upon a recommendation by Coun. Colleen Ross. Ross suggested that reversing it would to fill in as alternate mayor earlier in the first year while the first-time councillors became acquainted with their roles. Ross’ motion passed and the order of alternate mayors is set at: Michael Wirischagin, Christine Thompson, Colleen Ross, Neil Krog, Chris Hammett and Julia Butler. Coun. Wirischagin proposed that Coun. Krog be appointed the RDKB representative for council. “Neil’s been in this position longer than anyone at this table,” said Wirischagin. “He understands the process. He’s been at the RDKB table before. We could then revisit it in a year’s time.”

Coun. Thompson also spoke in favour of the motion. “I would support that in lieu of the fact that there is a different method of governance at the regional table than there is at the municipal table,” she said. “Perhaps for the first year anyway until you (Konrad) get your feet under you as mayor it would probably be a good decision to ask Coun. Krog to fill that position.” Coun. Julia Butler spoke against the motion, referring to a section in the community charter which states that the mayor is the head and chief executive officer of the municipality. “It further states that his role is to provide leadership to the council,” she said. “Now typically the mayor is also asked to carry these duties over to represent our town at the regional district table and I feel that’s a fair designation.” Krog was appointed council rep-

resentative on the RDKB board with Ross as alternate by a 5-2 vote with Mayor Konrad and Coun. Butler voting in the negative. Krog was also selected as the hospital board representative. The meeting ended with Mayor Konrad thanking the residents for supporting him and the people who attended the inaugural meeting. “For me, it’s an honour to be sworn in here tonight as mayor of this city,” he said. “This honour has been bestowed upon me by you, the citizens of Grand Forks. I’ve achieved many accolades in my life but this is, by far, the apex. I’m proud that I can serve you for the next four years and I make it my pledge to never betray the trust you have put in me.” The next city council meeting is set for the Canpar ofﬁce on Dec. 15 at 7 p.m. The ﬁrst meeting after the new year is on Jan. 12 at City Hall at 7 p.m.

1919: Provincial police find whiskey still 1909 For rent: Strictly first class, modern sevenroom house, $18 per month. Apply to Donald McCallum. 1914 “Mickey McKay looks good,” “Boundary League star makes favourable impression with Vancouver teams,” and “The player who made a big hit of the evening with the spectators was Mickey McKay, the Boundary League recruit,” were headlines in the Vancouver papers last week. 1919 A whiskey still, in perfect working order, was located at Anaconda (near Greenwood) by the provincial police on Friday last. The still was all set up and ready for business. Several quarts of “still booze” were seized and Ole Lloftstead was fined $500 for breaking the Inland Revenue Act. 1924 Midway: The first shipment of saw logs arrived here last week in transit from Carmi to Grand Forks. The consignment consisted of nine cars and it is hoped that this is a forerunner of a profitable industry for the winter. 1929 While motoring to Franklin Camp last Friday, a car went off the road when passing a truck and made several turns down a bank. Suey Woo, well-known laundryman, was badly hurt and is in hospital in serious condition. 1934 The strike at the Sally mine last week, which uncovered 600 ounces of silver per ton of ore, is regarded as one of the most important strikes that has ever been made on Wallace Mountain at Beaverdell. 1939 Horses and wagons are still being driven, without lights on them, on the

highway at night. These must have a white light on the left side, which can be easily discernible from either direction. 1944 At the moment, there are three candidates for mayor: D.C. Manly, who served as alderman some years ago; Wm. Liddicoat, for the past 25 years a member of the council; and Wm. Moore Sr., who ran last year but was unsuccessful. 1949 E.S. Reynolds was elected president of the curling club this week. Other ofﬁcers include Vice-President W.H. Findlay, and A.W. Downey, secretarytreasurer. 1954 Y. Sugimoto, manager of the Grand Forks Co-operative Growers Assoc., predicted that if the present situation regarding potato marketing continues, local farmers will have to stop working their land and get off their farms. 1959 Fraser Carmichael, district agriculturist, estimated that 1959 crops in this district, exclusive of cattle and other livestock, will be near the $400,000 mark. 1964 There was a grand opening of the new Overwaitea store, with Bill Strachan as manager; Nolan Fisher, meat manager; Larry Watson, assistant manager; and Ron Moule, product manager. 1969 This week the Grand Forks detachment of the RCMP moved from their crowded quarters in the courthouse to the new building just west of the arena. 1974 Some employees of Parta Industries Ltd. are attempting to form their own union.

Police arrest suspect at scene POLICE BRIEFS

By Craig Lindsay

GFSS break-in

On Nov. 28 at 3:40 a.m. police responded to an alarm at Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS). “Two police officers attended the school,” said Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. “The officers entered the school and couldn’t find anything. They went back and opened the principal’s office door. They noticed a broken window and open cupboard doors and that there was, in fact, a break-in.” During the officer’s search they discovered a male hiding behind a door against the wall. “He was immediately arrested and found in possession of stolen property from the high school as well as some property from a recent break-in at the Gospel Chapel.” Charges were laid against John Landry, a 27-year-old male from Grand Forks. Landry was charged with break and enter, possession of break-in instruments, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of stolen property.

Motor vehicle accident with injuries

On Nov. 27 at 2:48 p.m. police responded to a motor vehicle accident at 21st St. and Highway 3 in Grand Forks. “The driver driving a Ford cube van on Highway 3 heading east by 21st St. when a black Ford Fusion made a left-hand turn in front of him,” said Harrison. “The cube van struck the side of the Ford Fusion which caused both vehicles to be pushed off the highway. The cube van ended up down the embankment and into the parking lot in front of the arena.” Harrison said it was obvious the Ford Fusion driver failed to yield the right of way to the person turning in front of them on the highway. “There were three people in the Ford Fusion; all received injuries and were taken to the hospital,” he said. “Some of the injuries were serious but non-life threatening.” The driver of the Ford Fusion was an 80-year-old female from Grand Forks. The driver of the cube van was a 46-yearold male from Surrey.

Robinson meets Top Gear hosts JACOB NOSEWORTHY For the Grand Forks Gazette

On Sunday, Nov. 23, local Grade 12 student Alex Robinson had an experience he will not soon forget: meeting the hosts of Top Gear, a popular show on BBC showcasing vehicles from around the world, and holding the distinction of most watched factual program. Between a whirlwind trip to the Trail airport, a meet-and-greet with the hosts, and an interview on Global BC, it was a jam-packed day for Robinson. It was a normal Sunday morning for Robinson, working around his parents’ motel, Johnny’s, and preparing for school the next morning. As he was doing some cleaning and watching YouTube videos, he received a text message from his friend Travis that said, “Look at Jeremy Clarkson’s Twitter.” Upon inspection of Top Gear’s star, Jeremy Clarkson’s Twitter account, Alex discovered that Clarkson, along with his fellow hosts James May and Richard Hammond were marooned in Trail after filming the Hennessy VelociRaptor in the snowy terrain. Robinson was incredibly excited, and immediately asked his dad to drive him to Trail to meet the cast. “My dad was excited, I didn’t see it coming,” Robinson said upon asking him. They quickly hopped in the car and drove the over 100-kilometre journey. Unfortunately, upon their arrival in Trail, Alex and his father didn’t

know where to look for Clarkson. After a quick search of the shops and restaurants in downtown Trail, he realized that if the Top Gear cast were hoping to leave, they’d be at the airport. After arriving at the airport, “jumping out of the car before it was even parked, and going to a lot of places I shouldn’t have been,” Robinson finally managed to find his idols having a bite to eat in the small building beside the runway. “I walked right up to them, stuck my hand out, and introduced myself,” Robinson remembered. Despite meeting the three British Knights, when asked about how he felt about meeting the international stars, he replied, “For the first five seconds I felt starstruck, but they also felt really familiar, like I knew them.” He attributes the familiarity to the fact he has been watching their program with his dad since he was eight in England. While only spending half a minute with three of his “favourite celebs,” Robinson was able to take a picture with the three, and speak with them. “They were exactly like they are on TV. Jeremy wasn’t sociable, spending the whole time on his phone, and I told Richard that he ‘looked a lot shorter than he did on TV.’” Despite having the time of his life, Robinson laughed and said, “They didn’t enjoy it as much as I did.” Clarkson did not really interact with Robinson; Robinson made

fun of Hammond’s height, “an ongoing joke on the show”; and he hugged May, while learning of his phobia of being touched by fans after the experience. But soon their plane arrived, and the hosts left with only a wave from Clarkson as he ascended the steps. After the experience, Robinson soon tweeted a picture of himself with the three BBC stars, which was quickly picked up by Global BC. After returning home, Robinson was quickly connected to Global via Skype and live on BC1, Global’s 24 hour news network. He was absolutely ecstatic to be on the air. “I was amped to get my voice out there and be a part of something.” However, through an error on Global’s end, they misquoted Alex as having said, “...they were all there having some pitchers.” When questioned, Robinson laughed and responded, “They’re not that big of alcoholics, what I really said was ‘We were all there having some pictures.’” Despite the misquote, he really enjoyed the experience, and later went on to also be interviewed by the Huffington Post BC. To sum up what provoked him to travel to Trail to chance an encounter with the three men, Robinson said, “Take every chance you can to do something big with your life.” He is still waiting to be contacted by Ellen DeGeneres for an interview on her show.

iNSIGHT your news view

Moving forward It’s beginning to look a lot like…the holiday season. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa or Festivus, December is the month of holiday parties, celebrations, Santa Claus parades, decorations, light-ups and more. The City of Grand Forks and the Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce are certainly doing their part with the big Santa Claus parade and tree lightup on Friday. City workers have been going around and putting lights and decorations up on trees and streetlights around the downtown core and on Central Avenue to make our town look festive. It’s all welcome after a November which saw a sometimes nasty election campaign often between the water meter friends and foes, which involved vague and sometime not-so-vague threats and allegations on social media and through our letters page. The end result is a new mayor and mostly new council and the departure of the city administrative officer. But that nasty business is behind us and it’s onto better times as we move forward. Please don’t forget to remember those less fortunate as well. This is a particularly tough time for those who may not have much. Be sure to help out the Community Christmas Hamper Program with the Angel Trees at Overwaitea, the Source and Grand Forks Credit Union so that no local children have to go without this holiday season.

YOUR THOUGHTS?

editor@grandforksgazette.ca

It was a quiet Saturday evening in the early ’50s, as most of them were, in our small community of Grand Forks: Canada’s second smallest city just 30 kilometres or so from the very smallest one, Greenwood, B.C. A small group of friends had just emerged from the GEM Theatre, our only movie house, having gone to the seven o’clock showing of what was undoubtedly a western. We were looking for something to do to fill in the rest of the evening with a little fun. Mr. Dergousoff’s watermelons out in the valley are ripe and ready to eat. I noticed them when I drove by his farm this morning, one of our group informed us. They looked delicious. Then why don’t we go

and help ourselves to something really delicious, someone else suggested. A great idea we all agreed, with one condition we imposed on ourselves: Mr. Dergousoff is a nice man and a hard worker—only one watermelon each, said one of our friends who was a farm boy— OK? His is not a big farm and that’s how he makes a lot of his money. We piled into our two cars: Barry’s car, which was a 1930’s Chevrolet box-like vehicle, and Glen’s 1917 Model T Ford which had its roof stripped off so it could be a “convertible” (the local girls really liked to ride in it in the summer). As his best friend it was my job to walk to the front of the car and turn the crank to get the “tin Lizzy” going. Off we went, just a few miles out of town. It was really dark so we parked the cars at the side of the road near the watermelons, jumped over the fence and began our “harvest”. It

was only a couple of minutes later when we were looking for the biggest and ripest melons that Mr. Dergousoff appeared at his back door and started yelling at us to get off his property, out of his watermelon patch. He knew what we were up to; however, it was dark so we figured he couldn’t really see us. Each of us grabbed our watermelon, jumped back over the fence and into the two cars, turned on the car lights and sped off. Later we gathered at City Park down by the river to enjoy the spoils of our adventure. They were so delicious we had juice running down our chins and onto our clothes. The next morning as my family was having breakfast there was sharp knock on the door and when my mom said, “Come on in,” RCMP Constable Durham entered our kitchen. In a very pleasant voice he said, “Milton, I have a warrant

Opinion

www.grandforksgazette.ca A5

Strategic plan could Return decision-making to people involve residents Letters

to the editor

Editor, The Gazette: When politicians lose touch with the electorate there shouldn’t be any surprise that a sufficient number of voters will be peeved enough to vote for change. Our recent municipal election clearly demonstrated this as the incumbent mayor and two incumbent councilors were defeated. In my humble opinion, their defeat, for better or for worse, was a direct result of indifference to the voice of the people. Ideally a true democratic system is one where there is “direct democracy” whereby citizens vote on every issue. Obviously there are numerous reasons why in a complex society such ours this is not practical. Therefore our founding fathers opted for a “representative” form of democracy. Municipal government is that level of government whose ear is closest to the voice of the people and that voice particularly when it is loud and clear should be heard. During the all candidates forum, Mr. Taylor emphatically stated that he could quote every

argument the anti-water meter proponents had put forth. He went on to say that it was not that they hadn’t been heard. He simply didn’t agree with their arguments. Mayor Taylor and council undoubtedly had the democratic right to agree or disagree on any issue. However, the real point became confused in the whole water meter debate. The point was not whether one was for or against water meters. Rather, is there a time when it becomes a moral obligation on the part of elected representatives to take a sober second look at proposed legislation and if necessary return the decision making power back to the people in the form of a referendum? That’s what the water meter petition asked for. That was the real point! I would like to extend my best wishes to the members of the new council. Hopefully you will remember that you have been elected to serve “at the pleasure of the people,” not visa versa. Frank Triveri, Grand Forks

School using outdated term Editor, The Gazette: There’s an elephant in the school’s parking lots. I am sure you have heard of the expression “an elephant in the room?” Well, the other day I was walking with two children in the school’s parking lot when I came to an abrupt halt. Right in the middle of the school’s parking lot was an accessibility sign with the words “handicap parking!” Why was this shocking? I will explain. Now, I am recently becoming educated to become a community support worker or educational assistant to help with those individuals with varying degrees of abilities that may differ from the status quo. And I have learned that the word “handicapped” comes from the term “cap in hand.” And that this was because in the year 1915 veterans were coming home with various limbs having been blown off and they could no longer support their families so King Henry VII laid out some legislation allowing people with disabilities to beg for money with “cap in hand”. Hence the word handicap. That was 100 years ago. Things have changed. People in wheelchairs can work, and they do. They just need accessible parking. Now, that you know the origin of this word and how it relates to people in varying degrees of abilities has it changed your view? It changed mine. Let’s not forget that we are all potential candidates for a wheelchair. I saw this first

hand when I looked after my quadriplegic father at the GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre in Vancouver. The random mishaps of a forever changed life. The lady who tripped on her cat answering the door and fell … she’s now a paraplegic. The 17-year-old playing rugby, his neck crushed, he is now quadriplegic. This could happen to anyone and it does, but do you want to be known as “handicapped?” (And yes, I know there are sport’s handicaps, and let’s keep it to sports, it doesn’t seem to hurt feelings in that arena.) So here’s the thing, I have two young fouryear-olds that I’m teaching language to. And arguing over semantics may seem like petty stuff but not when it comes to the feelings of others and making everyone feel like they belong. So when they ask me why someone walks a different way, or talks a different way or has a missing arm, I don’t feel good about saying they are “handicapped” anymore. We need to find a more positive word, or at least explain how we are all different and that is ok because we are making things accessible to everyone. So let us put up a new word in the signs at the parking lots of schools where children learn the words, which will be ingrained with them for life. How about the word “accessibility?” It is much easier to learn a new word, than to unlearn an old out-dated one. Larissa Alexander (Big Momma’s Daycare), Grand Forks

How will the Corporation of the City of Grand Forks be governed over the next four years with a new mayor and six councillors, each with their own vision of how the city should be run? The question is a legitimate one that is on the minds of many residents, given the public criticism of the outgoRousing ing council for the better part of 2014. the Rabble What is known about the new council is that three of them have council exROY RONAGHAN perience. What is not known is whether individual members will be able to put aside their personal biases and work with others to formulate a clear vision for the future and govern the city to the satisfaction of the majority of residents. The council’s first major task is to develop a strategic plan to guide its work through the next four years. Will it continue what has been the practice for several years and do its planning without public input or will it break with tradition and involve city residents? Past strategic planning sessions have involved the council and staff in a two-day planning session in early January where issues relevant to the operation of the city are discussed and prioritized. During the election campaign issues that were mentioned were wide ranging: a decaying infrastructure, revitalizing Market Avenue, growth and development in the area, job creation, the need to make Grand Forks a GMO-free zone, food security, and water conservation, to name a few. Will some or all of them remain on the council’s list? None of the councillors or the mayor presented enough information during the campaign to give voters any idea of what they might pursue once in office. The outgoing council was admonished by a group of residents who were furious about not being involved in the decision to install water meters. The group presented a petition and called for a town hall meeting but to no avail. Did they have a legitimate case? After all, the matter of water meters had been discussed by councils for over a decade. The City of Portland, Oregon believes in public involvement and to ensure that city decisions “respond to the needs and priorities of the community,” city government developed a set of public involvement principles in 2010, based on the premise that “Portland city government works best when community members and government work as partners.” The Portland model is formed around several basic principles: that community members have a right to be involved early in city policy development and city programs and projects; that working relationships with the community must be long-term and collaborative; that public inclusiveness is critical; that design processes must be flexible enough to accommodate a range of projects or policies; that public decision-making processes must be open, honest and understandable; that public decisionmaking processes are transparent (accessible and open); and that city leaders and staff must ensure that public involvement is meaningful. What form will public involvement take in the next four years in Grand Forks, if it takes place at all? Will time-consuming and costly referenda be used? Will town hall meetings occur regularly? Will questionnaires be used on occasion to determine public opinion? Will the social media become a common means of communication? If the council and staff agree that public involvement is critical on all major initiatives, their first major task has to be to develop a set of principles similar to those adopted by the City of Portland. Should the council and staff decide public involvement is time-consuming and unnecessary, residents could form an advisory council comprised of a wide cross-section of the population. Such a group could provide much needed information on how the public feels about city initiatives of all sorts. Perhaps there should be an advisory council regardless what the council and staff decide.

Letters to the editor

Think about messages

Editor, The Gazette: In the recent federal byelections, the people of Yellowhead and Whitby-Oshawa spoke: the Conservatives held on to the two seats they already had, but there’s much more to the story. These were the 14th and 15th byelections since the Harper majority in 2011 and the results continued a strong trend. The Liberal share of the vote rose again, dramatically, and the NDP vote share dropped again. In Alberta’s Yellowhead riding, a Conservative bastion, the Liberal vote increased from 2.8 per cent in 2011 to 20 per cent in November. In Whitby-Oshawa, the Liberal vote share jumped from 14 per cent to 41 per cent. Byelections are considered a safe way for dissatisfied voters to send a message to government. In a string of byelections since 2011, the message they are consistently sending is that they consider the Liberals, under Justin Trudeau’s leadership, to be the real alternative to Harperism. These are not opinion poll results, these are actual votes. The prime example of this was in Toronto last June, where the NDP lost the seat vacated by Olivia Chow to the Liberals. Despite his best efforts, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair is not connecting with Canadians and Justin Trudeau is. If voters in the South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding want to get rid of Harper in 2015, they might want to consider the message coming out of ballot boxes across the country over the past three years.

RDKB endorses plan

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

After several years of work, the Kettle River Management Plan is completed and ready for implementation. At last Thursday’s meeting of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB), its board of directors endorsed the Kettle River Watershed plan by considering information in the plan in relevant discussion and decision-making by implementing the priority strategies and actions, as appropriate through the local government planning documents. “What we’re doing is endorsing an idea on how we feel about the Kettle River and what we think needs to happen in the future to what we all need to buy in to have water in the future,” said Grace McGregor, RDKB board chair and Area C (Christina Lake) director. “It’s preservation of agriculture and the fact that when you turn on your sprinkler there is going to be something there.” Program coordinator Graham Watt said that the watershed plan sets out planning directions and ideas for the RDKB to undertake as well as to pro-

mote for other groups. Watt said by approving the plan, the RDKB is saying, ‘Yes, we’re going to use this internally in our own planning and we’re also going to promote it to others who are interested in water management and try to get everyone to work together.’ “It really connects things together and sets the stage for requesting similar endorsements from other organizations.” The RDKB also approved of staff drafting and the execution of a contract with Watt for core funding for implementation of the Kettle River Watershed Management plan at an annual cost of $35,280 for three years at a total of $105,840. “It means I will continue to have a role in the project,” said Watt. “I will be able to keep coordinating meetings and bringing people together and also very important, fundraising, project management and grant management to support various components of the watershed plan.” Watt said implementing the project is exciting because there are several different opportunities in the plan such as restoration projects and water conservation.

RDKB rec fees on the rise CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Grand Forks Rec fees The cost to use the pool and the arena in Grand Forks is going up. At the Nov. 27 meeting, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) board of directors approved a two-per-cent increase to the current 2014 fees and charges for programs and services offered at the Grand Forks and District Aquatic Centre and the Jack Goddard Memorial Arena. The new rates are expected to be in place starting in January 2015.

Financing for siding The RDKB board approved an application to the Municipal Finance Authority for short term financing for the Lower Columbia boiler replacement project and the Grand Forks curling rink outside siding replacement projects at a combined total of $298,071. The cost for the siding for the curling rink is just below $60,000. Tom Sprado, manager of facilities and recreation for Grand Forks and district, said the project was done over the summer and was completed in September. Local company WD Sheet Metal did the project. Grants-in-Aid The following groups received grants-in-aid

The RDKB board of directors approved a motion to advertise and post a notice of intent for the expenditure of up to $25,000 in 2015 for a feasibility study-phase 1 to support a program of restoration and afforestation in the RDKB. “This project came out of looking at an opportunity—where trees capture carbon out of the air and help store it in the ground—there’s been a commitment by local governments to become carbon neutral in their operations. Right now there’s opportunities to put money elsewhere whether it’s tree planting operations, things that reduce carbon emissions,” said Graham Watt, project coordinator for the Kettle River Watershed Plan. “We looked at that opportunity and realized in certain areas in the watershed especially along the river by the flood plains there are places where more trees would be really beneficial in helping prevent erosion and helping bring back key habitat.” Watt said the feasibility study would look at how the group could measure and track and get the benefit of payments for carbon sequestered by trees when they do reforestation projects.

spent explaining all this to my parents after Constable Durham left) confirmed that both Glen and Barry had also been summoned to court but no one else. And so we went. When asked in court if there was anyone else with us that night, we all had a serious lapse of memory. The trial then proceeded and the outcome was a $25 fine for each of us; the Magistrate announced, “to teach us and other young people a lesson about not going stealing crops” or “coon hunting”, as it was called then. That was a serious fine in those days, at least for us. We all had after-school jobs—two to three hours every afternoon after school and eight hours on Saturday. We were all paid the same, 25 cents an hour. I did a quick calculation when we

met outside the courtroom and realized at our pay of $4.50 a week, that was a total of over five weeks of work! We were upset! The next morning after reporting this to our families—in both the window of the Royal Hotel which Barry’s dad owned, and in the window of the Grand Forks Gazette weekly newspaper, which my dad owned—was a watermelon with a big sign attached: For Sale - $25. Glen’s dad was the local railroad stationmaster and he didn’t think the CPR would like him doing that. There were no takers at $25 each when you could buy one at a grocery store for about 50 cents. However there were lots of laughs around town—and a whole bunch of teasing in store for the city’s youngest ever convicted robbers.

History in poetry

Hynes brings history to life through poetry

“Alex Davidoff owned one of the major logging companies in the Grand Forks area when I first met him in the mid-1980s. I was selling logging equipment then, and over the years got to know Alex and his son Allan quite well. Alex always had interesting stories about Grand Forks and its people in the early years, but this particular story took place in 1990 or 1991. Enjoy!” ~ Terry Hynes

The Ballad of Dozer Paul Now here is the story as told to me by a logger that I once knew. A story that’s real, so help me God, and most of it’s all true

He knew he had to move again they’d soon be at his feet, he saw that some already reached the wet spot on the seat.

“Just bring your pick-up over close behind those two big rocks, I’ll jump from where it’s safe up here and land down in your box.”

“My sweetie-pie, you precious thing you haven’t even ate. You go and have a long hot bath I’ll fix you up a plate.”

‘Twas in the spring near Gilpin town when Alex was going to haul, he needed to fix the road up some so he called on his best man Paul.

He grabbed the shovel from the rack in case he had to jab and climbed on up the sweeper post to stand atop the cab.

So Alex drove the truck around and Paul just jumped in low, then shinnied up around the cab and through the side window.

The next day Paul felt better some but did not go to work, with “Buttercup” so spoilin’ him to leave, he’d be a jerk.

Now Paul was a hot shot dozer man he’d built a hundred roads, they needed to get that trail in shape so Alex could haul his loads.

Now late that day at Alex’s shop he’d yet to hear a word, he wondered if the road was done and why he hadn’t heard.

Alex eyed him up and down, he looked an awful sight, all his clothes were stained in sweat, and God, his face was white.

A couple days and he went back and wandered ‘round the cat, he stayed alert with every step and ‘specially where he sat.

He started to clear one early morn, the dew fresh on the ground. Just pushin’ the dirt all by himself with none of the crew around.

He drove on up to Pauls’ old house and spoke to “Buttercup”. “That useless man don’t get home soon, I’ll smack him like a pup”

Alex asked him ‘bout his pants, “They’re wet from waist to knee.” Paul just kinda mumbled some, “I must have spilled my tea.”

Now Paul’s gone back to pushing dirt and cuttin’ fire guard, but he won’t build another road till all the ground’s froze hard.

But that didn’t bother Paul too much there’s little that he did fear except for maybe a couple o’ things, (I’ll explain them both right here).

She thought that maybe Paul had gone, like many times before, to have a beer with his old pals; forgot what home was for.

So Alex took him home that night, back home to “Buttercup” and when he told her of his day, she hugged him like a pup.

Now Paul had a fear of “Buttercup” (that’s what he called his spouse) she ruled his life with an iron will, (at least around the house).

But Alex figured Paul would not forget to let him know, that he had finished with the road and everything was go.

The one thing that ol’ Paul feared more, (and I’ll have to give him this), was a slimy, slitherin’, sneaky snake or anything that would hiss.

“Perhaps he’s had a breakdown then, the old cat slipped a track.” “I’ll run up there and check on him and call you when I’m back.”

He’d always sweet-talk “Buttercup” and stay on her good side, but every time he saw a snake he’d run like hell and hide.

“You think he might of hurt himself?” “Bein’ up there all alone.” “You go and find my sweetie pie and bring him safe back home”.

Now Paul was busy pushin’ dirt just cuttin’ ‘round a knoll, he hooked a rock face with his blade and gouged a nasty hole.

“Now don’t you fret and worry none, I’m sure he’s quite OK, there’s no one tougher than your Paul, I’ll fetch him right away.”

A big ol’ hunk of rock broke free and opened up a crack, he saw a writhing shadow move, and chills ran up his back.

He drove up to the logging block and down the new cut road it looked like it was set to go, to haul out every load.

He killed the engine on his cat then sat and concentrated. Was what he thought he saw in there that thing he dearly hated?

Around a corner, there’s the cat just sitting at full stop, and there was Paul, standing tall and waving from the top.

His eyes grew big as saucers then his face went mighty pale, when all at once a million snakes crawled down that bank of shale.

Alex pulled up near the cat and opened up his door, “don’t get out, yelled Paul in fear, there’s a million snakes or more”.

It really seemed like that to Paul, a hundred then some more came slithering down towards the cat and swarmed the forest floor.

“Rattlers, great big rattle snakes they came from out that pit they crawled right up here on this cat ‘bout gave my heart a fit.”

He’d never seen so many snakes his blood no longer flowed. He felt a warmth between his legs and cared not if it showed.

‘I don’t see nothin’ movin’ ‘round, said Alex with a sneer, you sure you weren’t just seeing things, have you been in the beer? ‘

He sat there tryin’ to catch his breath, he knew he had to move when first one snake, and then some more crawled up the track-pad groove.

“Alex boss, you know me well I would not tell a lie, when I saw all those rattle snakes I thought I’s gonna die.”

It wasn’t long before they reached the deck where he had stood, but Paul was not still standing there he’d climbed up on the hood.

Alex tried to coax him down, there were no snakes around. But Paul just said, “there’s no damn way these boots will touch the ground.”

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary is ready to move from planning to implementation with the Kettle River Watershed Management Plan. After three years of study and planning, the RDKB will present the plan to the public at the Christina Lake Annual Watershed Review on Dec. 3. The plan outlines the vision and goals developed by the Stakeholder Advisory Group and four strategies, 18 management directions and 59 actions that, over time, will achieve real improvements in water conservation, water quality, and the health of aquatic ecosystems in the Kettle River watershed. “There are many really excellent projects that will come from this, with all kinds of support behind the plan,” said Grace McGregor, chair of the RDKB board of directors and director for Electoral Area C / Christina Lake. The main focus of the next three years will be filling critical information gaps, coordinating restoration projects, supporting water quality improvements and working with water suppliers and water users to improve conservation. “There are a lot of opportunities here for working together among everyone with an interest in the Kettle River, whether they are individual landowners and farmers or represent local governments, resource management agencies, conservation groups, or First Nations,” said Graham Watt, coordinator for the plan. “This really sets the direction for the regional district for considering the watershed in many kinds of decisions,” McGregor added. “The Stakeholder Advisory Group intends

the plan to provide guidance for decision makers and set the stage for collaboration and action,” Watt said. “The success of the next three years really depends on the participation of all of the people and groups that play a part.” The planning process was built around bringing a variety of perspectives to a broad suite of watershed issues. “We all got to learn from each other, hearing different ways of understanding common interests,” Watt said. “And that learning will need to continue through the next few years, as we all gain experience and capacity through implementing and revising the plan.” The advisory group recommended that the plan be presented to the RDKB for their ‘endorsement’, which was provided at the Nov. 27 board of directors meeting in Grand Forks. “Endorsement means that the RDKB will consider the plan in relevant decisions and services, implement the strategies and actions as appropriate through local planning and services, and promote it for use by other stakeholders, organizations and government agencies,” Watt said. “This is a major statement about the importance of the plan.” So what’s next? The RDKB will be seeking organizations and individuals to express support and participation in implementation and review. And the plan will immediately shift into action with project proposals and opportunities for the public to get involved. The plan will be published today (Dec. 3) at http://kettleriver.ca. Copies will be available at the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary offices in Grand Forks and Trail and in other key locations.

Santa Claus has asked The Grand Forks Gazette to help him collect his letters from throughout the Boundary again this year. In addition to the traditional “Dear Santa” letters, he would love to have letters on “What the holiday season means to you,” or “Your favourite winter memory.” Write your letter and mail it to: Santa Claus c/o The Grand Forks Gazette Box 700, Grand Forks, B.C.V0H 1H0; drop it off at the Gazette, 7330 Second Street; or email it to production@grandforksgazette.ca before 5:00 p.m. on Monday, December 8.

Tim Martin, with service dog Hunter, receives a coffee at Jogas from Donna Soviskov. Craig Lindsay photo

Dog’s training progressing CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Martin said that the pooch has matured in the last couple of months but still has some ways to go. “He’s getting a lot better,” he said. “I’ve had a couple of days when I’ve felt down and he’s noticed it and come over and forced me to play with him. That’s really pulled me out of my depression.” Hunter allows Martin to get out and shop and go to businesses and not feel anxious. He was able to attend the recent all-candidates forum as well. “Because of the fact that he acts as a buffer,” he said. “None of the businesses have made any comments. They’ve all been very welcoming in allowing service dogs into the premises.” Hunter is still training with a local dog trainer Kathy Novokshonoff. Currently, they are working on teaching the dog to wake up Martin when he has a nightmare. “So I can break the cycle of the nightmare to allow me to sleep better,” he said.

Back in August, the Gazette ran an article about a local resident, Tim Martin, who is a former RCMP officer with PTSD. Martin has been able to get out and enjoy more of life in the Grand Forks area with the help of his dog, Hunter. We caught up with Martin and Hunter over coffee at Jogas. Martin worked with the RCMP for 25 years and before that he was with the Department of National Defence. He was diagnosed with PTSD while he still in the RCMP but was able to manage it. “A lot of people, when they retire, it seems to catch up with them,” he said. “There are triggers and you don’t have the defense mechanisms. You’re no longer carrying a sidearm, you’re no longer wearing body armour. Certain things: crowds, confrontations—when you’re working, you’re protected.” Martin spent 11 of his 25 years with the RCMP as a crash-site investigator. He also received a death threat at home from a suspect. “That’s when my PTSD surfaced extremely.” He worked for the RCMP in different locations in B.C. His last stint was in Grand Forks as part of the regional highway patrol. He and his wife liked the area and chose to stay after he retired. “Both my wife and I love the community,” he said. “My wife has a home-based business: she’s a dog groomer. In general, everyone is extremely friendly. It’s a nice community to retire to.” Hunter the dog is now 18 months old. Martin has had the pup for three months and training is coming along. “He’s a double rescue,” said Martin. “Someone left him on the side of the highway in Prince George and then he was adopted by a young couple in Creston who didn’t have time for him and left him chained up in the back all the time.” Martin said Hunter suffers from separation anxiety but it works out well because he doesn’t let Martin get too far away without him. “He’s made an immense difference in my life,” he said. “He’s increased my energy level tenfold. Before I didn’t have the energy to even work around the house because of depression and stress.” City crews were busy putting Christmas lights in the Hunter was paid for and donated to trees last week.

It’s beginning to look a lot like....

Exchange wood stove now CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Wood Stove Exchange Program will be returning to the Boundary. The RDKB board of directors approved an agreement in the amount of $10,000 for a six-month term. “That’s a very successful program and it has been for years,” said Grace McGregor, RDKB board chair and director for Area C (Christina Lake). “We usually top it off with grant-in-aid, as does Area E and Area D, I think, to make it even more worthwhile for people. It’s an incentive program in which (residents) get money for buying a stove that’s environmentally friendly.” The provincial Wood Stove Exchange program (WSEP) is a B.C.-wide program designed to encourage residents to upgrade their wood stoves to low emission appliances including new certified clean-burning wood stoves. Communities benefit from better air quality and individuals benefit from increased efficiency saving money and reducing pollution. The program is facilitated and financially supported by the Ministry of Environment and the B.C. Lung Association. The province has approved funding in the amount of $10,000 to administer the WSEP. The program will have no financial cost to the RDKB.

Locally, John Vere coordinates the WSEP. He said the program has 30 stoves to exchange on a first-come, first-serve basis. “At this point in time we’ve exchanged almost 400 stoves in the Boundary,” he said. The program began in 2008 and covers the entire RDKB area from the top of Anarchist Mountain to Salmo. “You don’t even need to own your own property, you just need permission from your landlord,” said Vere. “It’s pretty straight forward: it’s about exchanging an old, non-approved stove, or even a broken stove, for a modern appliance. A non-efficient store for a modern appliance and that can be a natural gas, propane, wood stove or pellet stove. It can’t be a furnace; furnaces are different.” Vere said the program allows for a $250 grant towards the new stove. “What you need is a picture of the old appliance, you need to dispose of the new appliance and supply proof,” he said. “You can take it to the landfill and get rid of it for free. Then you need to submit a copy of the invoice for the new device.” All the forms and information needed is at the WSEP website at cactusmusic.ca. For more information, contact Vere at 1-866-992-9663. Applications are also available at select woodstove retailers.

Relay For Life tallies at $51,549 SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Each year, Relay For Life participants from across Canada come together to celebrate the lives of those who have overcome cancer, remember loved ones lost and empower individuals and communities to fight back against the disease. The 2014 Boundary Relay For Life committee, participants, sponsors, survivors and volunteers knocked it out of the park! The Canadian Cancer Society signature fundraiser Relay For Life is going strong in Grand Forks, Boundary Country. The 2014 event saw 123 participants on 15 teams raise $51,549—not only surpassing the previous year’s total but overshooting their budget by a whopping 15 per cent. This could not have happened without the hard work of Leadership Chair Jennifer Edwards and the rest of the dedicated planning committee. The generosity of Grand Forks and Boundary communities is outstanding. Community members and businesses stepped up and have brought life back into Relay For Life. The top five fundraising teams were: Grand Forks Credit Union –$4,707.68; Overwaitea #24 Over Cancer – $3,620.25; Jazzercise Grand Forks – $3,125.10; The Brief Crusaders – $2,891; Pharmasave Grand Forks – $2,134.99. The top five fundraisers were Debra Battrick, Lynn Whyte, Evan Laudrum, Trish Horz and Marguerite Rotvold. Thank you to everyone who sponsored, fundraised, volunteered, and supported the 2014 Relay For Life. With 2015 quickly approaching, the excitement is in the air and the relay committee has already started meeting. “We are always looking for more help to take this great event and make it even better,” Ed-

wards said. “As with other fundraisers, volunteers are the key to our success and there is always room for more. I’m so excited to be stepping back into the role of leadership chair for 2015, and am thrilled to once again have an outstanding committee. Rob Ogloff, Myrna Logan, Elaine Webber, Cheryl Smith, Alanna McNabb and Seth Edwards will once again join me in planning the Boundary Relay For Life, and we’ll welcome some new faces to our committee as well. “The Canadian Cancer Society offers so many supports and services for anyone in the Boundary to access and each year I hear of more members in our community who are doing so. The support of Boundary communities is always so overwhelming and we all play such a vital role in funding important work to eradicate cancer and help those in need,” she added.    The Canadian Cancer Society and the Relay For Life Committee is inviting everyone in the Boundary Country to join this year’s Relay For Life in Grand Forks on June 6, 2015. Come celebrate this year’s theme, Rock ‘n’ Roll Relay: Rock Out to Knock Out Cancer! A personal fight against cancer takes courage, a community’s fight takes commitment. “We encourage you to get involved with Relay For Life, whether you are a past participant, cancer survivor, or are joining Relay for the very first time,” Edwards said. “Not only is it a chance to support a great cause, but also a chance to do something healthy and fun. The whole experience, from the Survivor’s lap to the Luminary ceremony, and all the entertainment in between, will keep you coming back.” For event details or information, contact Edwards at boundaryrelay@bc.cancer.ca or 250-4431484 or visit relayforlife.ca/boundarycountry.

Program a ‘beautiful partnership’ goal to increase food security skills for families,” Thorpe said. Boundary Family and Individual Services (BFISS) already run food programs that work with families, and Columbian Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) coordinates literacy programs with BFISS. “It was a simple matter of creating the time and space with our families for this new idea,” said Christine Carlson, program coordinator for the CAP-C program at BFISS. Sheila Dobie, CBAL community literacy coordinator, said, “This is a beautiful partnership, where everyone is seeing their place and making it happen. I have the wonderful job of simply connecting the people and assisting with finding the supplies needed to make it

happen.” This is also a “paying it forward” part to this project. “The Women’s Institute wanted to see some of the food preserved go to the food bank,” Dobie said. “So we will make sure one of the canning sessions will take place in a commercial kitchen and all of the canned food will be donated to food bank families.” Already the community has jumped on board with a donated food dehydrator, jars and lids, and a pressure canner. Funds are being used to purchase some equipment, local food and facilitation time. Sincere thanks go out to the generous folks who have donated items. For more information about this program, contact Dobie at sdobie@cbal.org

Hunger Count 2014 lists five areas for action that they believe will significantly reduce the need for food banks in Canada. These are: affordable housing, food insecurity, stigmatizing and ineffective social assistance, a more effective support system for families with children, and increased skills training—especially for Canadians with low literacy levels. Locally, we have also identified a need for improved access to Employment Insurance, increased minimum wages, increased social assistance benefits and disability income supports and increased services for those with addiction issues or mental health needs. Change comes slowly, and until it does, we will continue, with the financial and physical support of the community, to provide a monthly hamper to those who need it.

Three local agencies have come together to offer a program that will teach skills in preserving food for the winter. Janet Thorpe of the Sunshine Valley Women’s Institute explains. “The Sunshine Quilters held a raffle to raise funds for a good cause in the community. They approached us—the Women’s Institute—and asked if we would be the ones to find that cause. “Around the same time we were invited to the community literacy planning event, in March 2012.

Mary Varabioff 1920 - 2014

We regret to announce the passing of Mary Varabioff on Sunday, November 23, 2014. Mary was born in Mikado, Saskatchewan on April 13, 1920. She was the 3rd of 8 Children born to George Soobotin and Mary Remazoff. Being a section foreman for the CPR, her father was transferred to B.C. in 1924 and the family subsequently relocated to Grand Forks, Eholt, Tunnel and Roseberry. In 1938 Mary moved from Roseberry to Grand Forks to be closer to her family and relatives and she has been a resident of Grand Forks ever since. In early 1940 Mary wed Nick Varabioff and soon after they established a nine acre farmstead in West Grand Forks. Here she nurtured and raised four children, an assortment of farm animals and an ever-present vegetable and berry garden. In 1960 Mary took a waitressing position at the Honey Dew Café under the employ of the Mark family. Mrs. Mark, who Mary’s family fondly called “Mrs. Soon”, became one of her most endearing friends and Mary stayed on at the café until her retirement in 1985. In 1970 Mary purchased her own home in North Ruckle Addition where she spent her best years tending to her ﬂower beds and garden. She loved to spend time with her many grandchildren, relatives and friends who would stop by for a cup of tea and a raspberry tart or a bowl of borsht. During her later years Mary could be seen daily from dawn ‘til dusk, sitting on her front porch greeting neighbours and strangers alike as they passed by. Mary was predeceased by her husband Nick Varabioff and by her son Eddie (Vicki) Varabioff of Grand Forks. She is survived by her son Norman (Natalie) of Grand Forks, by her son Peter of Vernon, by her daughter Vera Sneddon of Greenwood, and by her 6 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. Mary Varabioff was interred at the Evergreen Cemetery on Saturday, November 29, 2014. A celebration-of- life will be held in her memory at a later date. Hers was the strength and the will that held our family together. She was respected, adored and loved by all who knew her. In our hearts and minds she will always be fondly remembered simply as our “Baba” Mary. We were blessed to have been a part of her life…and we will miss her.

and was known as an artist here in Grand Forks. He is survived by two daughters, Cara (granddaughter Jazlyn), as well as Serina (grandchildren Meka and Tegan), and Franz (Bowden and Tyler). You will always be remembered.

Herb Johannes Herb Johannes passed away peacefully on Nov. 9 at Hardy View Lodge with his daughter Shannon at his side. He leaves behind a son-in-law; three grandchildren, Peter, April and Mikela; brother Ross in Manitoba, Ern in Surrey and a sister Mae in Langley as well as many nieces and nephews. Herb was born in Winnipeg on Nov. 2, 1940. His parents moved the family out to B.C. when he was 8, they settled in Langley on acreage where his father built up a dairy herd, and added horses to pull the wagon in order to take the milk to town and pick up supplies the farm required. They had chickens, swine and other animals as well. The family was very involved in agriculture and 4-H, they entered their prized stock in the fairs where Herb had earned numerous grand champion and reserve champion for the pigs he had entered. Herb started pulling wrench when he was about 16 at the Milner Garage, which was how he supported his family in the coming years. Herb moved his young family to Squamish where he worked in Britannia Mine and for logging companies. To be closer to his parents and job prospects, he moved his family back to Langley in 1980 and settled in the Willoughby area on acreage. Herb also enjoyed helping with volunteer work, he often helped out with organizing, carving meat, whatever was required at the hall for Christmas diner, when he was called upon he was always willing to help out. You will be missed (love you Dad). He worked for Inland Kenworth then started working on his own. Herb introduced his kids to 4-H, first joining a Langley Beef Club then starting one on his own. He moved away from the Lower Mainland area up to Grand Forks between 1988-89 to return to what he loved: farming and open country. He worked as a ranch hand for a while, pulled wrench, then he started breeding labs and was able to build up his own blood line which he was known for in the Grand Forks area–he has his blood line of labs spread throughout the country. He enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, hunting and vegetable gardening. Herb also had hobbies, he enjoyed fly tying ,leather working and others. Happy memories will remain with those who knew him, whether it was a piece of machinery he worked on or pups he had sold. A celebration of life while be held for this amazing man on December 13, 2014 from 1 - 3 p.m. at the Milner Hall in Langley, B.C.
