Green bins set for Lake
Christmas Greetings Pages A13-24
CRAIG LINDSAY
Grand Forks Gazette
After meeting with success in Grand Forks, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) has expanded the green bin program into Area D and is looking at spring for Area C (Christina Lake). Alan Stanley, general manager of environmental services for the RDKB, said the program has been operating in Grand Forks for two years and has been very well received. The program has been in rural Grand Forks (Area D) since November 2 for those residents who were previously receiving curbside recycling. The pick up is done by Kettle Valley Waste, which is contracted by the RDKB. The RDKB program in the City of Grand Forks was brought in by then-Mayor Brian Taylor and then-CAO Lynne Burch. “Kettle Valley Waste (from Christina Lake) is one of our prime service providers here in the Boundary,” said Stanley. “They’ve proven to be an absolutely outstanding contractor.” Stanley said that in the past green bin programs could only be effectively run in larger centres. “The team at Kettle Valley Waste proved that it could be done on a smaller scale,” he said. “There was then a lot of desire to have it moved to the other areas but we didn’t want to bite off more than we could chew. So it was expanded into rural Grand Forks (Area D) in November and then Christina Lake (Area C).” Stanley said the RDKB is targeting March 1 for a potential start date for the green bin program at the Lake. “It’s been a long time coming because we’ve been phasing it in,” he said. “The original proposal Kettle Valley Waste gave us was for Grand Forks, Area D and Area C all at once but for a variety of reasons that didn’t happen. Now that we’ve had some experience with it in phasing it in on an area-by-area basis, it’s proven to be quite successful and quite a good way of managing it.” The City of Grand Forks is the first jurisdiction in the B.C. Interior to provide residents with curbside collection of kitchen scraps. The program targets organic material (anything that was once plant or animal) that would otherwise end up in the landfall. Some of the materials residents can put in the green bin are: baked goods such as bread and cookies; cheese rinds and moldy cheese; coffee, including filters; sauces and gravy; fish bones, skin, guts, etc.; meat, bones, skin and fat; pet waste; eggs and egg shells; and much more.

“It’s been great,” said Stanley. “By weight, we’re looking at about a 40 to 50 per cent reduction (in garbage). When we were looking at the stats from the curbside garbage collection the key is to get this stuff out of the landfill. That’s why it’s really focused on stuff that used to be in your garbage can because that’s the stuff going in to the landfill.” Stanley said waste providers are under increased pressure through regulations from the government to look after the landfills. “By taking these organics out of the landfill you eliminate the methane generation of the landfill which is huge from a greenhouse gas perspective,” he said. “There are other fantastic benefits: you significantly increase the life of your landfill which then increases the time you have to pay for the liabilities of your landfill.” Stanley said the RDKB is currently using the organic material collected in the green bin program to cover inactive landfills that were closed when stricter government regulations came in. Stanley said the green bin program has essentially been paid for by the provincial recycling program (MMBC) which is paid for by industries. “Basically we’re doing it without any raises to taxes and we’re just repurposing the revenue we were using for the recycling program into the green bin program.” He did add that Area D residents have to pay $3 per bag of garbage.
“What we’re saying is you can put out as much recycling and compost as you want at no charge but every bag of garbage will cost you money,” said Stanley. “That’s more of an encouragement to get people to use the green bins and recycle.”
Green bin stats for Area D Nov. 3 – First day of green bin/garbage collection service in Area D/Rural Grand Forks 1,020 – number of green bins distributed in Area D/ Rural Grand Forks 20 – number of rural Grand Forks residents who refused to participate in the green bin program (2 per cent) 4,108 – The total number of ‘free’ garbage tags distributed to residents at the start of the collection program $3 – The cost of an RDKB garbage tag. Each bag of garbage (70 litre size) must have an RDKB garbage sticker 284 – the number of garbage bags collected in rural Grand Forks during November 707 – the number of green bins collected in rural Grand Forks during November 35 per cent – The participation rate for rural Grand Forks residents in the green bin program in the first month of the program 5.83 tonnes – The amount of green bin material collected from rural Grand Forks residents during the month of November 2.4 tonnes – The amount of garbage material collected from rural Grand Forks residents during November

1904 Grand Forks is now quite a distributing point for nearby ranchers and the Colville Reveille states that G.W. Smith of Kettle Falls, Wash., had gone to Grand Forks with a load of pork and fruit. When producers haul their stuff 50 miles by wagon and pay duty on it for the sake of selling in Grand Forks markets, this city must offer special attractions as a distributing point. 1914 C.C.

Cost could be high
It’s beginning to look a lot like…road check season. That’s right, RCMP officers around the province are pulling vehicles over and keeping the roads safe. The festive season means holidays and Christmas parties and gatherings around the fire as people drink egg nog and hot toddies. The police are urging people to use caution when imbibing during the holidays. With all we already have to worry about on the roads such as icy conditions and animals, don’t compound things by being impaired. If you do decide to drink and drive, be prepared for a check stop near you. A positive test on the roadside screening device usually means a 90-day or more immediate driving prohibition and a 30day vehicle impounding. That means a month or so of having to bum rides off of friends and family members or having to walk or take a cab. Of course, the cost if you cause an accident when impaired could be much, much higher. You could be looking at huge fines and even jail time. Imagine waking up in the morning and realizing you killed someone’s baby boy or baby girl. The bars at the jail wouldn’t be your only prison. So next time you’re going out, be sure to plan ahead and call a cab or arrange a ride from a friend or family member.

Owning a family business meant—for sure in those days—you started to work at an early time in your life. I was in Grade 4, 10 years old, when I begin working at our family-owned weekly newspaper. My jobs included washing the ink off the press rollers and the type we had used, folding the weekly newspaper pages and inserting them, and sweeping the floors and whatever else. My salary—$0 per week; however, the editor (my dad) would give me 25¢ a week to go to the movies! A bigger part of my life was keeping the stove and furnace going at home. Every couple of weeks a load of three-footlong logs, cordwood it was

called, were delivered to our backyard where I had to cut them with a Swede saw into one-foot lengths, then chop them up for the kitchen stove or for kindling for the furnace. Every morning I had to get up, get the wood and coal from the basement, and start the kitchen stove so mom could cook breakfast, as well as making sure the furnace was going as well in the winter. All hard work that resulted in good habits and strong muscles! However, in Grand Forks my first paying job was with John Hutton, the city clerk, who lived across the street, also by the school grounds. At the side of his house he had a very big garden area where he grew vegetables. One early fall morning he knocked on the back door and when my mom let him in, he said, “I have a job for Milton. Picking asparagus in my garden—10¢ an hour and he can bring home asparagus for your fam-
ily dinner every day he comes picking.” Great idea, my mom and dad agreed—so there I was, 11 years old with my first paying job, down on my knees with a pair of scissors every afternoon after school and Saturday mornings for two or three weeks. I learned to harvest— and hate eating—asparagus. Next big job, other than helping with the Gazette, came picking the vegetable seeds crop out in the valley. During the end of the war when Grand Forks was one of the leading vegetable seed producers in the world, they cancelled the start of school for two weeks so we could help with the harvest. My first job was picking onion seed, chopping off the heads of the plants into a big cotton bag that hug around our waist. I got so covered in onion juice that you could smell me coming from a long way away so my mom made me leave my clothes in the ga-

A little later came apple picking: climbing up 15-foothigh ladders, filling our waist baskets with fruit and climbing down to fill the boxes. Risky. Only 15¢ for each box but you could usually do two an hour— 30¢! If I could, I got there early and ran up and down the rows picking the low hanging apples. So back to school, and more good luck. My good friend Glen Smith had been working at the drug store—the only one in town, owned and operated by Frank Newbauer. He quit for a better paying job, working for his dad who was the CPR station master, delivering telegrams! He recommended me to Frank and I got the job—still 25¢ an hour but with many side benefits.

to the editor
Behaviour unstable, frightening Editor, The Gazette: A public community event should involve everyone. No one should behave as if they have the right to say who can participate, and who cannot, based on whether the host likes them or not. There is a Grinch amongst us this holiday season. Discrimination, bullying, harassment and displaced anger was played out in the parking lot at the seniors’ centre in Grand Forks. n this day of anti-bullying, how one person can stand and shriek, “I don’t like you, you have to leave,” is beyond me. Children learn by example. As adults, we need to behave in such a manner that is not of-
fensive or cruel. Is it no wonder bullying is alive and well? There were several witnesses watching this childish display of one adult yelling at another. It would have made an innocent bystander think something terrible must of happened in order for this to unfold, in public, at a community event, at Christmas time. The behaviour of the host was unstable and frightening. Peace on earth starts at home, in your neighbourhood, and your community. Merry Christmas. Lorraine O’Connor, Grand Forks
Hats off to city workers, helpers
Editor, The Gazette: A big hats off and two thumbs up to the city workers and their helpers! You must all take a bow and give yourselves a pat on the back! Grand Forks has never looked so beautiful during the Christmas Season. Our downtown core looks great—and how wonderful it must be for our travelers and resi-
dents to drive down the highway and see the awesome Gyro Park! It surely must warm many hearts to take in that view... it is truly magical—and kind of reminds you of the movies! With many thanks, kind regards, and best wishes to all for a very Merry Christmas. Marius and Maureen Paquet, GEM Theatre
‘People have spoken’: not true Editor, The Gazette: Since the municipal election, there has been an error reported that I cannot let pass by without comment. The headline on the Gazette’s Nov. 19 issue declared: “The people have spoken—Konrad in as mayor.” To see what really happened we need to look at the numbers contained in the actual article underneath this headline. We can see that the numbers do not reflect the voice of the people of Grand Forks. It is interesting that we do have another local area election example where the voice of the people is better reflected in the results—well, almost. The example is the electoral results for the RDKB’s Area D director. In this case, three candidates ran, and though the turnout was very low with only 30 per cent of eligible voters getting to the polls, of the 723 voters in Area D who actually feel they have a voice, 478 voted for one person: garnering 66 per cent of the vote indicates a clear statement of support. However, with the poor voter turnout, the Area D outcome tells us that just 20 per cent of its 2,380 eligible residents voted for their area director. Let’s also look to the Grand Forks mayoralty election: only 50 per cent or slightly more that 1,500 of the eligible voters felt they had a voice, and of the votes cast there was a close division between the votes for three of the five candi-

dates: 503 (33 per cent), 450 (30 per cent), 434 (29 per cent). When we place the highest of these numbers (503) towards the total potential voice of this municipality (3,031), we are again NOT hearing the voice of the people. There is actually something that can be done about this alarming situation. We have a serious flaw with our electoral system that has contributed to voter apathy and this kind of leadership selection at all levels of government. Our current system perpetuates voter apathy. If this defect in our electoral process concerns you—and I think that all of us need to question a system that at times feels like a betrayal of democracy—you can actively participate in the dialogue and research for electoral reform. One way is through Fair Vote Canada: check out www. fairvote.ca, a multi-partisan citizens’ campaign dedicated to achieving a process that allows Canadians to choose a fair electoral system where all voters are equal and every vote counts. In the meantime, we have the opportunity (and obligation) to hold accountable the honour that has been gifted to the folks in these leadership roles. Watch closely. Are they reflecting in their actions a kind of city/region/province/country that you are proud of? We must find ways to make our voices REALLY heard and work toward a fair electoral system.

We can’t bury our heads Why are residents of Boundary Country so reluctant to talk about the influence that climate change will have on the region in the future? It might have been talked about during the recent election campaign but it got no mention. Food security and farming opportunities for a new generation of farmers were on the agendas of a couple Rousing candidates but there was no mention the Rabble of the fact that climate change will be a critical factor in future agricultural ROY RONAGHAN activities in the Sunshine Valley was ignored. The most recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) told us that the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions must be taken more seriously because of the risks inherent in not doing so. If we know that climate change will affect us, would it not be wise to become well informed on the matter and do some strategic planning on ways to cope with it. Politicians and proponents of the fossil fuel industry tell us that our choice is between a strong economy and a healthy environment. What they are telling us is simply not true. We cannot survive without the healthy natural systems that support us. There is proof that energy conservation and the use of cleaner fossil fuels have measurable benefits and conserving energy from non-renewable sources does the obvious. They last longer, pollution and green house gas (GHG) emission levels are lowered, consumers save money, and there are significant economic benefits. According to Environment and Energy Publishing (E&E), a source of information on energy policy and markets, there are over 100,000 Canadians employed in improving energy efficiency. Their total wages were estimated at $8.25 billion for 2014. E&E also reports that the global market for energy efficiency is worth $310 billion and rapidly rising. If the fast growing clean-energy and clean-technology sectors can offer such benefits, why is Canada focusing on fossil fuels? Worldwide energy spending on clean energy was $207 billion in 2013. Canada spent only $6.5 billion. Germany now gets one-third of its energy from renewable sources and has realized a 23 per cent reduction in GHG emissions from 1990 levels and created 370,000 jobs. In contrast, Canada subsidizes the fossil fuel industry in the amount of $1.3 billion in spite of a commitment at the 2009 G20 summit to phase out subsides. It should be well known that the federal government has no plan to reduce carbon pollution and meet its international commitments. Canada has failed to enforce oil and gas sector regulations for the tar sands in Alberta, a promise first made in 2006 and there is concern that the government response to the recent agreement between the United States and China on GHG reductions will be to do nothing. In a recent posting online, David Suzuki of the David Suzuki Foundation states, “People around the world want leadership from elected representatives on climate change and pollution. Business leaders are getting on board. Will we take advantage of the numerous benefits of energy conservation and clean energy or remain stuck in the old way of just blindly burning our way through? The choice is clear.” Unfortunately Canadians cannot expect the federal government to provide the leadership Suzuki says we need any time soon. Prime Minister Harper’s approach is to broker deals with any country that will buy Canada’s oil, gas and minerals. Hans Nilsson, a Swedish board member of the European Council for an Energy Efficient Economy is reported to have stated, “By increasing energy efficiency 40 per cent by 2030, we gain in using less energy and paying less, but the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) will actually grow and unemployment will shrink, which is amazing.” Should we listen to the scientists, and people like Suzuki and Nilsson and take action, or should we bury our heads and pretend that the suggestion of climate change is a myth?

Mobile devices increasingly popular in school CRAIG LINDSAY
Grand Forks Gazette
iPads at Christina Lake Mobile devices are becoming more and more prevalent in our society. Tablets such as iPads are being used increasingly in schools to help facilitate learning that involves both teachers and students. At the School District 51 (SD51) board meeting on Dec. 4 in Grand Forks, Christina Lake Elementary School principal Shaun Lockhart gave a presentation about the iPads his school has been using. The iPad station, which consists of 30 iPads with chargers and a laptop, were purchased in lieu of having a computer lab, said Lockhart. The school started using the new iPads at the start of this school year. “Every kid uses it,” he said. “We have the cart in the office and kids come in and sign them out. We usually do it by classroom.” Lockhart said the school has been using the iPads and various programs and apps to great effect. “It’s been excellent. It’s definitely much more collaborative. It’s more problem-solving based.” Lockhart told the board about how the Grade 4/5 class taught the Grade 2/3 class how to get on the school’s network and how they worked together to research a project. He also talked about how music teacher Kristen Nicolson used the iPads and various programs to record the students using recorders and singing. Clarification on school opening Trustee Dave Reid proposed a motion, which was carried, asking SD51 superintendent Kevin Argue for clarification on why some schools were closed in the morning before classes. Reid thought that schools should be open when the bus

POLICE BRIEFS Impaired driver
On Dec. 8 at 4:56 p.m., Grand Forks RCMP received a report of a possible impaired driver. “As a result of the call, police located a vehicle at the end of Second Street by the airport which had been operated by a 79-year-old Grand Forks male,” said Cpl. Richard Lanz. “The driver showed signs of impairment.” The driver was given an ASD (approved screening device) demand and two breath samples were taken; both registered fail, said Lanz. “As a result, a 90-day IRP (immediate roadside prohibition) was issued and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days,” he added.

On Dec. 11 at 9:56 a.m., RCMP responded to a call regarding the theft of four garbage bags of empty bottles taken from a carport on 68th Avenue. “The police spoke to the owner and advised them on how to make their property more secure,” said Lanz. There are no suspects at this time.
Theft of utility trailer
On Dec. 11 at 11 a.m., RCMP received a report of a theft of a utility trailer. “The trailer had been parked at Beatrice Avenue,” said Lanz. “The insurance on the trailer was expired.” The trailer is described as a 6x10 white Tilt utility trailer which had one by four sides built up about two feet high.“On the trailer were some household items like a washer, dryer and couch,” said Lanz. Anyone with any information please contact the Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288.

Small amount of pot found
On Dec. 11 at 8 a.m., police responded to a disturbance at a residence in Grand Forks. “While they were there a small amount of cannabis marijuana was seized,” said Lanz. Charges for possession are not being pursued due to the small amount.
Motor vehicle collision
On Dec. 12 at 7:16 p.m., police responded to a motor vehicle collision on Highway 3 by Eholt Road. “A 2008 Volkswagon Golf driven by a female from Vancouver lost control on an icy curve and as a result, a Kenworth Tractor Trailer traveling west ran into the rear of this vehicle,” said Cpl. Lanz. There was extensive damage done to the Volkswagon Golf, said Lanz. “But only minor injuries were sustained. Both parties had been wearing their seatbelts.” The driver of the Golf was a 39-year-old female from Vancouver. No charges were laid.
Fuel siphoned
On Dec. 13 at 9:51 a.m., police received a report of a theft on Donaldson Drive in Grand Forks. “A vehicle had fuel siphoned from its gas tank sometime over night,” said Lanz. “As this vehicle had a locking cap, it had to be pried open.” Lanz said approximately $200 damage was done to the vehicle due to the thief prying open the gas cap. There was $25 worth of fuel stolen.
Road checks
On Dec. 13, police were conducting a road check at the corner of Spragot Road and 67th Avenue in Grand Forks.
Growing up
At 7:33 p.m., a northbound vehicle was stopped and a small amount of marijuana was located. At 7:59, a southbound vehicle was checked and again a small amount of marijuana was found. In both cases, the marijuana was seized but no charges were laid due to the small amount, said Lanz.
Impaired
On Dec. 14 at 8:25 p.m., police were called to a report of a possible impaired driver. “As a result of this call, the vehicle was located and stopped on Carson Road,” said Lanz. “The driver had a strong smell of alcohol coming from him along with slurred speech. The driver was given an ASD demand and two breath samples were obtained. Both failed.” The driver, a 58-year-old male from Grand Forks, was issued with a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition as well as a 30-day vehicle impound.
z Thumbs Up
Thumbs up for Ivan for stopping on his way to Kelowna and pulling Laure out of the snowbank. The roads were treacherous that day—so thank you and Merry Christmas from Mom and Dad. Thumbs up to the Vocal Chords for an amazing recital and tea.
Two thumbs up to two local ladies who were inspired to raise funds for three local charities....and to all who participated to make that happen.

candy from the big array we had at Christmas. I remember getting sick after the first day of that privilege and missed a day of work. There was a soda fountain in the store, unused for many years apparently. I asked Mr. Newbauer if I could open it. His look was beyond skeptical; however, he eventually said OK. So I did. It took a while for the business to grow but it did. We had little round marble top tables and metal chairs and it became a favourite place for ladies to come and gossip, and for teenagers to come for sundaes etc. There was no competition in town. If you order a banana split or a strawberry sundae I would run across the street to the Talarico Grocery Store, buy the essential ingredients and come back and make what ever you ordered. Milkshakes and dishes of vanilla, chocolate of strawberry ice cream also sold well (the only flavours we had in those days). Still only 25¢ an hour but a lot more fun, and I loved all the ice cream I got to eat for nothing. Perhaps the most interesting part of the work was being Mr. Newbauer’s pharmacy assistant. He was very ill, dying of cancer, so he would
come in every afternoon when I got there and I would, under his direction, fill the prescriptions coming in from the doctors. I counted pills, mixed lotions and salves, and typed up labels. He kept close tabs on me so it worked well; however, today we might both have been arrested for un-professional behaviour. As I was the only male in the store at that time, it was also my job to sell specialty items like shaving cream and condoms to our male customers. Then the Gazette took over my life and that was it until after high school—every day after school and all day Saturday. No raise, still 25¢ an hour except I got to learn how to run the linotype, the presses, set up and print funeral notices when anyone in town died (which I then had to take around and put in every store window in town) and write the Years Ago column, and still more folding and inserting of the newspaper pages. I loved it all. To put it into perspective, however, ice cream cones—big ones—were only 10¢ as was a big bag of popcorn at the Gem Theatre, where admission was 25¢ to the movies. A gallon of gas was 25¢ too.

Hand, foot, mouth disease reported CRAIG LINDSAY
Grand Forks Gazette
Parents are being told to keep their sick children at home after public health officials receive reports of several cases of hand, foot and mouth disease in local schools. The disease is caused by coming into contact with an infected person. The first sign of infection, which starts three to five days after contact, may be a mild fever with a runny nose or sore throat, tiredness and loss of appetite. The disease can progress to where children have blisters in their mouth, on the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet. Sue Pollock, medical health officer for Interior Health, said they have confirmed cases of hand, foot and mouth disease in the Grand Forks area.
“It’s not a reportable disease so we don’t track cases of hand, foot and mouth disease but it’s not uncommon that school might call public health to get some information about it if they are seeing it,” she said. “It’s a fairly common childhood illness and there are no specific public health actions that we would take.” Pollock said that local public health is aware of cases from some of the local schools. “It’s a communicable disease but it’s not one that’s reportable to public health,” she said. “It’s fairly common for children and it usually resolves on its own.” Pollock said the disease is caused by a fairly common respiratory virus. “Again, it usually resolves on its own,” she said. “The recommendation would be similar to what it would be for other ill-
nesses: just keep your child at home when they’re not feeling well.” Pollock said it’s also important to practice good hygiene. “Some preventative measures would be good handwashing; recommending that people that have hand, foot and mouth disease stay home while they feel sick; cover your cough or sneeze with your sleeve—the disease is transmitted through respiratory droplets; and avoiding close contact if you are sick.” Pollock said the disease usually runs its course in 7-10 days. “If it’s not getting better after that or the fever gets very high or doesn’t go away, we certainly recommend seeking advice from a health care provider,” she said. “If the child is relatively well and seems to be managing, then usually it can be managed at home just by rest and fluids.”
Coats For Kids in 18th year CRAIG LINDSAY
Grand Forks Gazette
Although there are local programs to help those in need with food and other basic necessities, items that often get overlooked are coats and other clothes. Temperatures may have warmed up recently, but the cold snap in October was a reminder of just how cold it can get in the Boundary. To that end, Discover Border Country Realty has once again brought their Coats For Kids program to the area. The program, which is in its 18th year, collects new or slightly used winter coats and distributes them to local people in need. “One of our strongly held beliefs here is that you have to give back to your community,” said Sharon Marshall of Discover Border Country Realty. “What we do is collect winter clothing such as coats, boots, hats and mitts. We collect the items all year long.” Marshall said they are very grateful for the help of the Grand Forks Christian Centre which receives the clothes for
the program. “They’ve been good enough to receive the things that we collect and then hang them up and basically size them,” said Marshall. “And then we advertise to let people know when they can come to the church and pick a coat. The only stipulation is that the items we receive and collect are given away for absolutely no cost to the people who need them.” Marshall said they don’t count the number of clothing items but she did say they were able to fill two station wagons worth of donations. The coats were distributed

on Dec. 5 and 6 this year. “We’re still receiving them and collecting them and we’ll do the same thing next year,” she said. The coats and other clothes were given to anyone who wanted them. Marshall said there are no stipulations. People just show up at the Christian Centre and pick up a coat or other item. “The church has been wonderful,” she added. “They’ve done this with us all these years.” Marshall was also appreciative of the ladies hospital auxiliary as well as the general public for their support. “They’ve been very supportive and given us plenty of coats for this project,” she said. “The town is really generous. In past years we’ve had people go out and buy brand new snow suits. We had one lady go out one year and buy a brand new snow suit for both a boy and a girl. It’s really a neat thing.” Anyone interested in donating to Coats For Kids is urged to drop off a coat to Discover Border Country Realty at 347 Market Ave.

Dear Santa, I pray for my mom that she’ll be safe and happy. I remember getting toboggans from my uncle and my dad tying them to the car. We (my sisters and I) had lots of fun. My cousins (Wanda and Chris) telling us there was no Santa. We were very unhappy. We as a family would sing Christmas Carols and we had lots of fun. From Michelle Goodwin *** Dear Santa I celebrate Christmas by watching all my most favorite Christmas movies. I also make lots of baking cookies and other treats to share with friends and family. I leave my stocking out by the fireplace to hope to find all kinds of surprises in the next morning after Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve my family has a big
www.grandforksgazette.ca A21
party first before we go to church service, and then after my brothers and I get to open one present each before we go to bed. All of us get PJs every year, but don’t know what pattern or how soft they are so it’s always interesting what our surprise we get. Christmas morning we have to wait till everyone is awake before opening our stocking. After we eat breakfast, then later we all open our presents together. Later our family gets together and has Christmas dinner together. I usually make a wish list of all I would like to have to all my family before the three weeks before Christmas holidays. Brittany’s Traditions *** Dear Santa, Our family traditions were decorating the house, Dad would put up the Christmas village and I would decorate
the tree. I remember it would look really sparse. We would attend Christmas parties. As a family we would watch my Dad’s favourite Christmas movie “A Christmas story.” We would sit and listen to Christmas music. We would attend our church’s Christmas Eve and Christmas day services. We would always have a turkey dinner. My favorite food at Christmas was the Oily Boilies (Dutch donuts) which have apples, currants, raisings and then deep fried. T.J. Vanderniet

Many vegans also do not eat foods that are processed using animal products, such as refined white sugar and some wines.

Canadian holiday traditions Canada is a very large country and people of many different cultural backgrounds live there. Because of this, there are lots of different Christmas traditions in Canada. Many of the traditions and celebrations come from French, English, Irish, Scottish, German and native/first nation influences. The Eastern Canadian province of Nova Scotia is known all over the world for its fir and pine Christmas Trees, so most families in Canada have a fir or pine Christmas Tree. One Canadian tradition is to send the biggest, best fir tree (grown in Nova Scotia) to Boston, U.S.A. because of the assistance given during the disaster, known worldwide, as the Halifax Explosion. This tradition has carried on for many years. Bostonians always love
and appreciate the Nova Scotian Christmas tree. They place this tree in the city and then light it during a ceremony to begin the Christmas season. In northern Canada, some people plan a taffy pull. This is held in honour of Saint Catherine, the patron saint of single women. This party provides an opportunity for single women to meet eligible single men! Many Canadians open their gifts on Christmas Eve. Some only open their stocking on Christmas Eve. Others choose one gift to open, then save the rest until Christmas Day. Canadian children also believe in Santa Claus. Canadians are especially proud to say that their country is the home of Santa Claus. (Although I’m sure the people in Finland would disagree!!)
Merry Christmas! May your Christmas be blessed with peace and love! All the best to you and yours throughout the New Year!

History of the Christmas Seals® The real meaning of the season is in the simple things money can’t buy ~ things like Friends, Family & the Warmth and Love that people share at this special time of year.
Happy Holidays from all of us at
One stormy December night in 1903 a postman named Einar Holboell was working late in a post office on the outskirts of Copenhagen. He was sorting great piles of Christmas mail. As he moved around among the mailbags he paused to look out the window. At that moment two little waifs, a ragged little girl and boy appeared. Suddenly he had an idea. Just suppose that every letter or parcel carried an extra stamp and the money from the tens of thousands of such stamps went to help unfortunate children. What a blessing it would be! Christmas of 1904 the seals went on sale. The campaign was even more successful than the postmen had hoped. They decided that the children in most distress were the hundreds, perhaps even thousands, who were crippled by tuberculosis. With funds from the first two Christmas Seal campaigns they started building two hospitals for treatment of children with tuberculosis. This was a turning point in the world history of this disease because it was the beginning of the movement to get ordinary citizens to take part in fighting an infectious disease, one, which at that time was the leading cause of death, outstripping even wars and famines.
In 1907 the idea crossed the Atlantic. A little sanatorium down on the Brandywine River in Delaware was about to close for lack of $300, sending the patients, all of whom were infectious, out among others where they would spread their disease. The idea horrified the doctors and one of them, Joseph P. Wales, appealed to his cousin Emily Bissell to try and think of some way to raise $300. Miss Bissell recalled reading about the Christmas Seal campaign and approached her local newspaper, launching the “Stamp Out Tuberculosis!” campaign. By the next Christmas, news of the Danes’ campaign had reached Canada. Interested people in Toronto and Hamilton embarked on Christmas Seal campaigns for the sake of struggling hospitals being built for TB patients. That first year, the Toronto campaign raised $6,114.25 and Hamilton citizens gave $1,244.40. Though tuberculosis is not the threat to life and health it was even 50 years ago, there are still about 1,600 new cases each year in Canada. In the meantime other diseases of the lungs, though not infectious, have increased enormously. Christmas Seals funds are now used to fund research for people with life threatening lung diseases.

Seals campaign under way Annual campaign is lung association’s biggest fundraiser
MICHELE CASKEY
Submitted to the Gazette
The Christmas Seal Campaign began over 100 years ago to fight Tuberculosis (TB). This is the B.C. Lung Association’s biggest fundraiser for the year. Already residents in the Grand Forks-Boundary area have received in the mail the Christmas Seal appeal letter. This has been delivered to known contributors and householders have been delivered to attract new donors. The B.C. Lung Association is active in a variety of events and programs throughout the province and most definitely in the Boundary. The lung association maintains a strong presence at the Rock Creek and Boundary Fall Fair in September. Throughout the year, volunteer director Michele Caskey sits on the Grand Forks Environment Committee. On Clean Air Day, the first week in June, the B.C. Lung Association manned a booth at Overwaitea and gave out relevant material on Clean Air and free cake. The Grade 4 class at Hutton Elementary School constructed kites with material provided by the B.C. Lung Association. A short presentation and discussion took place about the environment. In the spring, Caskey participated in an international conference on lungs and heart in Vancouver. Health education materials such as nonsmoking information are provided by the B.C Lung Association and made available to the health units, Boundary Hospital, Mental Health
and Addiction Centre, Boundary Women’s Centre and to the schools and businesses in School District 51. Of benefit to those attempting to quit smoking is the online program quitnow.ca; the toll-free number is 1-877-455-2233. Both services are free of charge and are available 24/7. There is an abundance of material about lungrelated diseases and information on environmental concerns such as open burning, wood burning stoves, health and air quality, and radon gas. The publicity for the campaign involves distributing placemats, bookmarks and Christmas Seals throughout the area. A banner has been strung across Highway 3 in the downtown area of Grand Forks and the Christmas Seal flag will be hoisted from the flagpole on top of the Grand Forks City Hall. A large portion of the money raised in the Christmas Seal campaign goes toward research into all lung-related illnesses. The Grand Forks-Boundary Area of the B.C. Lung Association includes Christina Lake, Grand Forks, Greenwood, Midway, Rock Creek, Bridesville, Beaverdell, Westbridge and Big White. For more information on lung-related matters and the B.C. Lung Association, contact Caskey at 250442-3055 or the lung association at 1-800-665LUNG (5864). Donations may be mailed to B.C. Lung Association, Box 34009, Stn D., Vancouver, B.C. V6J 4M2. Please remember to use Christmas Seals on all your holiday mail!

Young Wolves show progress in Osoyoos With a young team with as many Grade 9 players as senior players, there are bound to be some bumps this season for the Grand Forks Secondary (GFSS) senior girls basketball team. Despite losing all three games at a tournament in Osoyoos this past weekend, the Wolves improved in most areas on the floor. “We had to combine the junior and senior programs this year at the school so we have a lot of young and inexperienced players this year on the team,” said head coach Craig Lindsay, who is in his first year at the helm of the GFSS senior Wolves. “The younger players may lack experience and finesse but they don’t lack in hustle and enthusiasm.” Lindsay said the energy level of the junior players pushes the older girls, and the older girls, in part, help the younger players with their experience and higher skill level. “I think it’s really going to benefit the grades 9s and 10s down the road playing against that tougher competition,” he added. “Of course, for now there are plenty of growing pains.” GFSS opened up Friday against a very good team from Merritt losing 70-18. The Wolves fared a little better against Summerland in their second game 63-40. Katrina Makortoff led GFSS against Summerland with 10 points, while sister Alyssa added six. In the Wolves final game, they played a familiar foe: the Boundary Central Wildcats from Midway. After losing to BCSS by 35 on Monday, the girls were hoping for a much closer game. In the early going it certainly looked as if the game would be much closer. GFSS used some strong shooting and tough defence to keep it close in the first quarter. The score after one period was BCSS 10 GFSS 7. The bigger and more aggressive Wildcats eventually pulled away and led by a 33-15 score at half-time. The final was 76-32 for the girls from the Boundary. Sarah Horan led GFSS with Gazette Staff

nine points, while Katrina Makortoff added eight. “We did good - you can really see how we improved from our first game to our last game,” said senior guard Nicole Nuyten. “We came together as a team. We still need to work on blocking out and being more aggressive. We definitely shot a lot more and made more shots. We also worked better as a team.”

Ski hill opening delayed
CRAIG LINDSAY
Grand Forks Gazette
Unless there is a substantial dump of snow in the next few days, it looks like Phoenix Mountain will not be opening as scheduled on Dec. 19. “Obviously, it’s not going to happen on Dec. 19,” said Ciel Sander, vice-president of the Phoenix Mountain Alpine Ski Society (PMASS). “We need lots of snow. There’s some snow on the hill but we need a lot more to open. It’s not happening on the 19th. We don’t have the funds like Whitewater and bring in dump truck loads of snow. We need probably another 10 cm of snow.” Sander said the staff and the hill are all ready to go and are just waiting for a few big dumps. “We are all set to go. As soon as snow comes we’ll be turning the bull wheel.” Sander said they would love to be open during the Christmas holidays when many people have time off. “The kids are off school,” she added. “That would be prime for everyone. We would be very happy if we could open for Christmas.”

Pastor Larry Finally, if peace is ever going Dannhauer to occur on the earth, we cannot Grand Forks wait for somebody else to make Christian Centre the first move; peace must begin with us. We must initiate the action and tell someone, “I am sorry.” We must go first and tell someone, “I forgive you.” We must lead the way, set the good example and start doing in our own lives those things we would hope to see others do some day. It was Mahatma Gandhi who said, “We must be the change we hope to see in others.” If there is going to be peace on earth, then I have to be willing to initiate the action that can bring about that peace. The world will not be substantively changed if all of us simply wait for somebody else to make the first move. Peace must begin with us. Now remember that we are not making the first move in the process of peace; God has already done that in Bethlehem. God did not wait for us to get ourselves together before He entered into human affairs. Paul says, “While we were still sinning” Christ died for the ungodly (Romans 5:8). That verse can be translated in a verbal form so that the word “sinning” is emphasized as an ongoing act. Or it can be translated in a noun form so that “while we were yet sinners Christ died for the ungodly.” Either way, God was not waiting for us to make the first move. God initiated the peace treaty and waited for us to respond. God has already made the first move; now all we have to do is respond in that spirit toward Him and one another.
