Wonderful time at Winterfest (From left on skis) Danica Powell, Eysha O’Donnell and Jasmine Konken work together during the six-legged ski race in the Kids Snow-Athlon Saturday at the community hall as part of the Winterfest celebration. It was another successful year for the event which started last Thursday and wrapped up Sunday. Hundreds came out to the Lake and enjoyed everything from softball in the snow to kids activities to a dinner dance and polar bear dip. See more photos from Winterfest on page A12.

Lake hosts town hall meeting CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Christina Lake has long been a great place to visit and a wonderful place to live but townsfolk have a keen eye on the future. That was one of the messages to come out of Monday’s town hall meeting at the community hall. The meeting was put on by Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) electoral area C/Christina Lake and was chaired by director and board chair Grace McGregor. “It went very well,” said McGregor. “It was very interactive. The presentation from the regional district went very well.” After the presentation from RDKB CAO John MacLean, Cavan Gates gave a presentation on the state of the Christina Lake Gateway project. Gates is the manager of special projects from the Christina Gateway Community Development Association and is taking over from Sandy Mark as community coordinator for the Lake. Gates also talked about venture capitalism in the area. “It was a really, really good town hall meeting, I think,” said McGregor. “People of Christina Lake are amazing people—it’s that simple. They know it takes money to do

anything. They know that the community is doing more than most communities are doing for the size.” McGregor said the success on the weekend of the Winterfest is proof of how engaging the community is. “Families came out for Winterfest; people are coming out for Homecoming,” she said. “We’re doing amazing things at the Lake. People know it and they’re supportive of it.” McGregor said the presentations gave an overview of all the recent programs being run at Christina Lake and all their successes. She said they also discussed venture capitalism that is coming down the road. “We’ll be having more, smaller meetings on venture capitalism and whether you want to invest in your community and how you can do that once we pick a project,” she said. “We also talked about seniors’ housing and how important that whole picture is going to be for our future and doing it right—the way the community wants it to be done.” McGregor said the success of the Gateway project and how well it’s been received was also discussed. “Overall we’ve got so much going on and it’s a lively, lively place,” she said. “It’s all volunteers.”

There was plenty of excitement at Christina Lake this past weekend and it wasn’t all during Winterfest. Christina Lake firefighters responded to a call from a pregnant woman and ended up helping her give birth in the back seat of her car at the Tempo Gas Station at the Lake. Ken Gresley-Jones, Christina Lake Fire Rescue chief, told the Gazette they got a call from 9-1-1 at 5:57 a.m. on Feb. 2 and attended shortly after. “What happened was the people were on their way to Nelson to have the baby and they made it to the long, straight stretch on the highway before Paulsen Bridge,” he recalled. “She said, ‘I’m not gonna make it. Let’s head back.’ They got as far as the Tempo and they called 9-1-1. We showed up and, well, she had the baby!” Gresley-Jones said it was definitely a first for Christina Lake Fire Rescue. He’s just glad everything went well and the baby is a healthy boy. “It’s our first delivery,” he said. “It went fine. You always worry about what if. But if everything is right it’s one of the most natural things there is. This one was and thank God. You don’t want complications with something like that. It’s just too precious a time to have problems and we didn’t. It was great.” Gresley-Jones said the department had an emergency childbirth kit which they used. B.C. Ambulance paramedics showed up on scene shortly after the baby was born. “The delivery took place by the mom and one of our first responders,” he said. “It’s a first. It went well. They were fairly calm.” For the mother, it was not her first—something that Gresley-Jones was very thankful for. He said the couple, who are from Grand Forks, was very calm, especially considering the circumstances. When they first arrived on the scene, Gresley-Jones asked the mother how far along she was. “She said, ‘I’m delivering,’” he recalled. Gresley-Jones said they talked about opening the Tempo station to give them more room. “There was no time for that,” he said. “The baby was coming. “There’s not much else to say—it all went well like it’s supposed to,” said Gresley-Jones. “It was cool being a part of it and I’m really glad it all went well. That kind of thing doesn’t happen everyday. It was a heck of a way to start the day.” Mom and baby were taken by ambulance to Boundary Hospital in Grand Forks just as a precaution.

Power in repose! Old Blue was a stray. “Abandoned?” I said to him. “Looks like you could stand some breakfast also.” He never hesitated a moment, in he came and he stayed. He’s the most affectionate cat I have ever had. He will literally knock himself out to please. Only he’s a bit camera shy! He’s a lovely companion.

Film focuses on restorative justice CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

About 60 people showed up at the GEM Theatre on Thursday night (Jan. 29) for a viewing of the film A Healing River and a discussion afterwards. The film is a documentary about restorative justice and features interviews with several different subjects with a wide range of experiences from First Nations to prisoners to university professors to provincial court judges. After the film, the movie producers, Larry Moore and Cathie Douglas, as well as local RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison and Boundary Restorative Justice program coordinator Richard Tarnoff panelled a discussion about the film and the role of restorative justice in the community. “Part of our mandate for our program is to inform the community about what we do and what restorative justice is, and to do that we make presentations and we often have information tables at events,” said Tarnoff. Tarnoff said the film presentation and discussion was a natural progression from those. He said he contacted all the parties and was able to set it up. “I think the film, though short, gives a good picture of how restorative justice is connected to all aspects of the community—child development, crime, community relations, victim services—and so it gives a bigger picture,” said Tarnoff. “This film takes a deeper look and a broader look at what communities need to be safe and healthy and heal when harm happens and what a challenge that is.” Tarnoff said the discussion after the viewing was a great opportunity for those in the audience to talk about what they thought of the film. “It was very good,” he said. “I thought it was a great turnout. It was a lot more than we expected for something that most people would see as dry and academic. People were really forthcoming with their ideas and questions.” Tarnoff said the group is very appreciative of the staff at the GEM for allowing them to use the theatre. He also praised the work of Staff Sgt. Harrison, whom he says has been very supportive of the program. Anyone wanting more information about the program can contact Tarnoff by phone at 250-442-8633 or email boundaryrjp@gmail.com. A Healing River is available at the Grand Forks Public Library for anyone who was unable to attend.

Don’t be bystander, say Lions

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A couple of B.C. Lions were at Grand Forks Secondary on Jan. 29 giving the message that it’s okay to speak up against violence and abuse against girls and women. The presentation was part of the Lions’ touring series called Don’t Be A Bystander in which they urge students to break the silence on violence. The players, J.R. LaRose and Matt McGarva, talked about their personal experiences with women they know being abused. They also presented the students with different scenarios and talked over different options when seeing abuse. The pair than answered questions from the students, took pictures, and then met with a smaller group of students for a more interactive workshop. LaRose, who is a 1.8M tall safety, has been involved with the program for four years. He has spoken at hundreds of school throughout B.C. during that time. “The thing that got me involved was that I have a personal story that really hit home seeing my mom and also my sister being abused,” he told the Gazette. “I found myself being a bystander and not knowing what to do as a youngster. I think so many other kids are faced with those situations. We just want to help

raise awareness and provide options for kids who are going through what I went through.” LaRose said it’s important for youth to know that by doing nothing you are essentially saying that those actions are okay. “We want people to speak up about these issues,” he said. LaRose said this was the sixth stop in a tour of the Kootenays. “This whole area has been great. We’ve been to six different schools after starting in Cranbrook. This is the end of the tour.” LaRose said the input from the kids has been great. “We’ve done a lot of different tours but I think this has been the best for feedback and open discussion where kids ask a lot of questions about the program,” he said. “That’s what it’s all about. We want to have open discussions and have them come up with their own options.” GFSS Grade 10 student Alaina Condruk said she thought the presentation was very well done and very informative. “I thought it was very educational,” she said. “They touched on a subject that a lot of people aren’t really that aware of. It was for a good cause and it was good to have them at our school.” Condruk said it was interesting to hear the personal stories of violence against women from the Lions’ players. “You know if it can happen to them, it can happen to anyone,” she said.

Bring obstetrics back As a newspaper, the Gazette tries to bring all the news that we think is important to our readers. Sometimes that news is negative because a car accident is deemed interesting while “car drives through town with no problem,” doesn’t sell many papers. That said, we enjoy bringing good news stories such as the front page story about Christina Lake Fire Rescue helping to deliver a baby in the back of a car. The husband and expecting mother were almost at the Paulsen Bridge en route to Nelson when it was determined that the mother couldn’t wait. Fortunately, the couple were able to make it to the Tempo Gas Station in Christina Lake and call 9-1-1. Thankfully everything went well and the baby is fine by all reports; however, this latest incident brings to the forefront the discussion about the lack of obstetrics at Boundary Hospital in Grand Forks. There are always what-ifs. What if they had been out of cell phone range and something went wrong? There are on average 45 mothers per year from Grand Forks and 15 from the Kettle Valley who have to travel out of town to have their babies. How many young mothers are in that situation where they and their baby are at risk because we don’t have the ability to safely have births in Grand Forks? The drive to Nelson, Trail or Kelowna is over two hours and during the winter the roads can be treacherous, adding more stress to an already stressful situation. What would it take to have obstetrics return to Grand Forks? How much would it cost? Can we at least afford a feasibility study to look into it?

Observing the effect of the Big Game Second Opinion JIM HOLTZ It is truly wonderful to observe the effect of the Big Game on the world around us. (I am not allowed to use the real name of the Big Game because the NFL would sue me, the editor, the paper, Black Press and all our descendents.) People normally not interested in football pitch right in, making Buffalo wings, pizza and buying bags of various sorts of chips. Indeed, food is

in part what makes the Game so Big. It is one of only a few occasions when one is given permission to eat and drink whatever one wants, and then joke about it. It is sort of like the bloating that takes place at Thanksgiving, except that Thanksgiving dinners are actually healthy. One cannot be neutral when it comes to the Big Game. One must choose one team over the other and then watch excitedly, screaming at every score, bellowing at every referee’s mistake. My wife, normally completely under control, uttered noises whenever her

Seahawks scored that seemed to be...well, primitive, sounds that had their beginnings I’m certain on the Serengeti many millennia ago. I think she might have used some very colourful language if we had not had guests at our house. The other essential elements of watching the Big Game consist of various forms of victory dances. For minor successes on the field one can stand at one’s place at the couch and do some minor gyrations. For scoring plays, one can take a few steps from side to side, strutting appropriately. One must be careful though to keep the celebrations under

Opinion

to the editor

Statements need some clarification Editor, The Gazette: An open letter, in part, to mayor and council of Grand Forks: Thank you for giving our family the opportunity to attend your recent council meeting. I felt the need to clarify some statements that were made. I realize this issue of a dispensary in Grand Forks is a contentious one which has come up because two local citizens complained. There is much stigma attached to this complex medicinal plant and we all need to take every opportunity to learn. Education will dispel the myths associated with marijuana. The RCMP have been put in a tough spot and were compelled to enforce the law due to these two complaints. They have used discretion. They could have gone into the dispensary with force and confiscated all the product, charging Jim Leslie and his partners with dealing in an illegal substance. I did, however, feel strongly that it was highly inappropriate for the RCMP to speak to the death of Cst. Wynn in Alberta as part of a concern for safety of members and citizens alike in Grand Forks because of what criminal element a dispensary might attract. We would be doing a disservice to Cst. Wynn by comparing the failings of our legal system in his unfortunate, tragic death and this issue before you in Grand Forks. I believe strongly from my close ties to the RCMP that your bigger concerns are the illegal grow ops in houses and buildings as well as illegal dealing of the highly addictive drugs like meth. As one councillor mentioned, pharmacies are just as at risk if not greater, for robberies. Marijuana is not addictive, it is does not have nicotine as was falsely stated by the one RCMP officer, and

it is not a “gateway drug.” I need to also speak to the statement by the police officer that all people could simply go online to purchase their cannabis medicine legally rather than going to a dispensary and speaking to a person of knowledge like Jim Leslie. Do you buy your pharmaceutical medicine online even though it is available there? Our granddaughter Kyla needs a highly concentrated oil produced in a lab that gives lab results. Jim found us that lab. You cannot purchase this online for a child. Adults should not be subjected to that either. You cannot achieve good results from making the oil at home. I have referred many suffering people to Jim because of his knowledge of the product and its uses. I trust the product he gets is from reliable sources and safe. This is why dispensaries are so necessary and this needs to be included with your request for changes in our law. No doubt we need regulations and approval processes but people need a place to go to talk to someone and get their medicine now. Grand Forks is very lucky to have someone like Jim Leslie and his team in their community. It would be your great loss to have him move to a community that is more accepting and encouraging of his work. Thank you for your motion to send a letter forward to the Supreme Court and the federal government in support of all derivatives of marijuana as a form of medicine. Your understanding of that need is evident; your support with changing the law is a huge step forward. Elaine and Chris Nuessler, retired RCMP Summerland, B.C.

No need to be paranoid about meter Editor, The Gazette: Further to those people who are paranoid over a piece of equipment called a water meter: We have had ours since October 2014, installed at our request by telephone appointment by a courteous, qualified plumber who removed his shoes at the door. Since then, we have not heard it, smelled it or been threatened by it. The only time I see it is when I go downstairs to do the laundry. It gives me a great deal of comfort knowing that during the hot summer days in July and August when the midnight gardeners draw down our reservoir to danger level, we shall have sufficient water to protect the town from hot flying ash from forest fires. Oh, yes, in answer to the question asked me last October at the Poetry Café: “No, I did not take it to my leader!” Helen E. Durham, Grand Forks

Thanks for coverage Editor, The Gazette: I want to commend the Grand Forks Gazette for their coverage on city council. The detailed reporting done by Craig [Lindsay] is fantastic. I also really appreciate the chart that quickly shows the motions and how they voted. We are all busy and don’t always have time to attend meetings, watch them online or read through the minutes. Thank you Grand Forks Gazette for this awesome service. This is local news at its best and this alone makes my subscription worth it! Myrna Logan, Grand Forks

NDP leader Tom Mulcair has recently launched a plan for affordable childcare in Canada. It is no secret that Quebec has the most affordable childcare in the country, and Tom, as a former Quebec cabinet minister, witnessed the success affordable childcare played in helping families and boosting the economy of the province. His plan would build From the hill on the Quebec model to bring quality, accessible Alex atamanenko childcare to all of Canada. Compared with some European and English-speaking countries, the employment rate for women in Canada is high—at about 75 per cent. Both parents work in two-thirds of Canadian families. There are currently 900,000 Canadian children in need of care with no access to regulated affordable spaces. Some families pay thousands of dollars every month for licensed childcare—more than they pay in rent or for their mortgages. Tom’s plan anticipates creating one million new spaces over the eight year phase-in period and reducing parents’ costs to no more than $15 per day for each child. Recognizing that delivery of childcare is regulated provincially, the NDP will consult with provinces, territories and indigenous communities in the development of a childcare strategy that will work for all stakeholders. The initial annual investment of 1.9 billion dollars will fund 370,000 new spaces. After eight years the annual federal investment in childcare will have increased by $5 billion. Costly, yes, but over and above the obvious benefits to parents, the economist Pierre Fortin asserts that the program will be self-financing. A TD Bank research survey suggests that for every $1 invested in early childhood education, the benefits to federal and provincial governments range from $1.49 to $2.78 in increased tax revenues and decreased social spending. Most Canadians don’t equate affordable childcare with growth in the national economy, but the accessibility of childcare plays a significant role in labour force participation, particularly for women. David MacDonald, a senior economist with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, has found that when parents are given an affordable childcare option, as in Quebec, they overwhelmingly choose to work. Contrast this with income splitting, the tax incentive being implemented by the current federal government. In other countries where income splitting has been introduced, participation by women in the workforce goes down with no comparable increase in men’s participation. The consequence is a smaller labour force which ultimately slows economic growth. In the last nine years costs for childcare have skyrocketed. B.C. has among the highest fees in Canada, and in many households with infants or very young children both parents cannot afford to work. Even if they could find licensed childcare space, their cost per child could be as high as 35 percent of their income. The benefits of investing in childcare are far reaching. It is time for Canada to make a real commitment.

to the editor

CETA opt-out quesitonable Editor, The Gazette: After discussion during three sessions of the regular meeting of council, on Jan. 26 the council resolved to opt out of the Canada-European Union: Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and other trade agreements that were entered into by the provincial and federal governments without appropriate consultation, and respect of local government jurisdiction. The current unratified text of CETA states: “Each party shall ensure that all necessary measures are taken in order to give effect to the provisions of this agreement, including their observance at all levels of government.” As such, there are no opt out provisions for subcentral levels of government. Similar text exists in other trade agreements. So how seriously will such a resolution (and, by association, the Grand Forks City Council) be considered by the B.C. and federal governments, which are quite aware of the inclusive nature of trade agreements? The resolution identifies the absence of appropriate consultation as a key reason for opting out. The CETA consultation process included town-hall meetings across Canada, participation by provincial government representatives at negotiation sessions, and involvement of sectoral advisory groups. Was this sufficient? At what point does the law of diminishing returns apply? It depends on whom one asks. Even

within our city council, as was evidenced at the first council meeting during discussion of the five-year strategic plan, the means and extent of consultation to be undertaken when addressing significant issues resulted in differing and sometimes conflicting opinions. Trade agreements are intended to provide a net benefit to the signatory parties. While some sectors will benefit, others will maintain status quo, yet others may see a detrimental effect. In its resolution to opt out of CETA, does city council speak for all sectors in Grand Forks that might be affected by CETA, if it is ratified? Was appropriate consultation with stakeholders undertaken? As stated by Danielle Klooster in the Nov. 5, 2014 issue of the Grand Forks Gazette, “[Council members] are ALWAYS a representative of the municipality.” As the new city council grows into its role, this and other concerns, which will be tabled during the next four years, should be considered from the perspective of their relative importance to the conduct of city business. Grand Forks is facing pressing issues—e.g., declining population with consequential reduced tax base; declining property values; loss of key retail facilities; failing infrastructure—issues whose resolution falls primarily under local government jurisdiction. Should these issues not take precedence over those for which the local government has considerably less jurisdiction? Chris Palmer, Grand Forks

Support our city council Editor, The Gazette: A few people who have written letters to the Gazette are expressing some kind of impatience because of endless discussions regarding water meters. They would be happy these discussions stopped finally and they will go ahead with their happy life. The problem is that it is not going to happen. It is only the beginning of our struggle. At the moment these meters have been installed and turned on, they started to do a harm to us, our animals and the environment, and it is not going to get better, but worse. It should be the opposite: there should be more discussions, protests, petitions up to the point when these health-damaging devices will be removed or the radio taken out and they will be wired. Only then we can stop talking about them. The international microwave radiation health safety level is 0.1 microwatt of constant exposure. In Grand Forks the meter readings are showing 300-plus microwatts in some areas, which is 3,000 times over the safety limit. In Vancouver in most areas the meter readings are

showing 30,000, 50,000 and in some over 200,000 times over the limit, day and night, all the time. Do you think it is a joke? It all adds up, smart meters, Wi-Fi, cell phones, cell antennas, communication antennas and so on. Where is this country going to? How do you think? To a happy, worry-free future? As for those who are worried about the water conservation, why are you not worried about a real danger to the environment and water—GMO, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, chemical fertilizers, chem trails and so on? If you are worried about water go to the offices which allow the use of these deadly chemicals and do some protesting, go to those who manufacture them and protest there, go to these who use these chemicals and protest there, maybe it will help. The previous council have had some kind of agenda—installing radiating water meters, as many as possible, and they were doing that to the last day of their office time. Looks like the new council has taken a much better approach to that issue, and we should support them in that, not call them to step down. Anatol Plasun, Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette: It’s sad what happened to the senior who was assaulted with a baseball bat. He was the victim of a fellow with mental/emotional problems. We read about some major crimes that are in the headlines, all seeming to and claiming to have mental health problems. There seems to be a lack of a sense of community, which allows people to share their concerns with one another. If I criticize you about something, or make a suggestion, it isn’t a put-down, it’s merely trying to be helpful.

We, our government, needs to set up programs that instead of criminalizing people, help them to sort out their problems. Yes this would cost a lot but it would be a lot less expensive than prison. It would help individuals to sort out their problems and avoid loss of control of their minds. Social interaction is so important for every one’s mental health. That’s what a lot of loners out there need. It would make for a healthier and friendlier community. Harold Funk, Social Concerns (Chair, Boundary Area Retired Teachers’ Assoc.

Grand Forks Credit Union (GFCU) has been serving our members – who live near and far – since 1949. We are a member-owned financial cooperative. Each and every one of our members makes a difference to our well-being – both as a locally owned and operated company and as citizens living and contributing together within our communities. Imagine, if you will, the 19 original founders of our credit union meeting at the Grower’s Exchange one August evening in 1949 and contributing $30 each. Granted its charter on August 22, 1949, the Credit Union started attracting attention. Within a year, 50 members had joined and assets were over $400. Today, we are almost 9,000 members strong with more than $210 million dollars in assets providing a full range of competitive financial products and services and continually re-investing into our communities. What would the Boundary be like if the credit union had never been born – or suddenly disappeared today? From the beginning, our job has been to make a way for regular people to access financing to help them live their dreams… originally for farmers and small business. We’ve stayed true to our purpose, continuing in the tradition of the cooperative movement.

Credit unions, called by various names around the world, are member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperatives that provide savings, credit and other financial services

to their members. Credit union membership is based on a common bond, a linkage shared by savers and borrowers who belong to a specific community, organization, religion or place of employment. Credit unions pool their members’ savings deposits and shares to finance their own loan portfolios rather than rely on outside capital. Members benefit from higher returns on savings, lower rates on loans and fewer fees on average. Credit unions worldwide offer members from all walks of life much more than financial services. They provide members the chance to own their own financial institution and help them create opportunities such as starting small businesses, growing farms, building family homes and educating their children. Regardless of account size in the credit union, each member may run for the volunteer board of directors and cast a vote in elections. In some countries, members encounter their first taste of democratic decision making through their credit unions.* *WOCCU.org website excerpt

YOU AND YOUR MONEY PERSONAL FINANCES

Getting things back UNDER CONTROL Living from one paycheque to another, never knowing the extent of your Drawing up debt, and excessive use of credit cards are all situations that can cause a budget is the serious problems. In other words, learning how to control your money ﬁrst step in is an absolutely essential step in getting out of financial difficulty. getting out of There is only one real solution to taking control of your financial situation and knowing exactly where you’re headed: a budget. That’s right, this good old method is still the only way to get yourself out of the red and into the black. Knowing how much money is coming in and how much money is going out every month allows you to make wiser decisions regarding your expenses. And when you know your limits, it is much easier to avoid falling further into debt. A sheet of paper and a pencil is all you need in order to figure out the overall state of your income and expenses. On one side note all your sources of income: salary, bonuses, tips, government allowances, etc. On the other side, mark down all your expenses. This will include both the unavoidable (such as rent, heat, telephone, and transportation) and avoidable ones (cable TV, clothes, movie rentals, newspapers, gym membership). Subtract your expenses from your income, and now you know what you have left at the end of the month. Think about saving if you have a surplus. If there is a deficit, ask yourself what expenses you can cut. The Internet is full of sites offering useful budgeting tools for free. Worksheets, calculation sheets, and other tools can help you create a balanced budget. Just remember, though, that in order to gain control of a risky financial situation you will have to be honest — no lying to yourself!

RRSPs

Start early, SAVE LOTS! You can open and contribute to a registered retirement savings plan as soon as you have income to declare. An RRSP is the modern day piggy bank, a financial tool that allows you to accumulate savings at the same time as you reduce your taxable income. The expression “time is money” takes on its full meaning where RRSPs are concerned. The sooner you contribute, the more money you’ll have when you retire. Many people mistakenly believe that it’s better to reduce their debt before starting to save. However, a much better strategy is to balance debt repayment and savings. This means that even if you are carrying a lot of debt, it is still a good idea to begin saving as soon as you start a full-time job. Not all 25-year-olds are thinking about their retirement, but once they realize that the money they put into an RRSP is tax exempt until they make a withdrawal, and that it can even yield a profit thanks to compound interest, then a long-term plan may not seem so irrelevant. What’s more, if you decide you’d like to own your own house, you can use your RRSP savings as a down payment on a first home. This program, called Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP), is very popular — since 1992, more than two million Canadians have become homeowners using the money they had saved in a registered retirement savings plan. When you make an annual contribution to an RRSP, you are building a better future for yourself. So, be sure not to waste any more time!

A semi truck jack-knifed with two empty trailers last week on Highway 3, blocking three lanes of traffic. Darlainea Redlack photo

Semi hits ice, jack-knifes POLICE BRIEFS

By Craig Lindsay

On Jan. 27 at 7:17 p.m., police responded to a call about a semi truck jack-knifed on Highway 3 at Eholt Road near the rest area. “The semi was reported to be blocking three lanes of traffic on the corner,” said Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. “Members attended and found a Sutco Contracting tractor trailer in the eastbound lane jack-knifed with two empty trailers. They were blocking the eastbound lanes. The driver stated he was driving westbound when the truck encountered black ice on the downgrade corner and was unable to maintain control.” No other vehicles were involved. There were no injuries. Copper wire stolen

On Jan. 28 at 7:21 a.m., RCMP received a report of a copper wire theft from the contractor storage yard at FortisBC’s garage. “Stolen from the compound were two 20lb copper reels, two 30lb copper hand coils and 30 lbs of (grade) two/zero wire,” said Harrison. There are no suspects or witnesses at this time. Anyone with any information is urged to contact the Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288. Missing motor vehicle incident

On Jan. 29 at 4:29 p.m., police responded to a motor vehicle incident near the Paulson Bridge on Highway 3 reported by a B.C. Ambulance crew who were passing through the area. “A black four-door car had gone off the road and into the ditch,” said Harrison. “When the police arrived on scene there was no sign of the accident or the vehicle. However, it appears the vehicle was later located in the Trail area.” Harrison said Trail RCMP attended a similar accident that was likely the same one. Pedestrian struck by vehicle

On Jan. 29 at 5:30 p.m., RCMP received a report of a pedestrian motor vehicle accident with minor injuries. “A pedestrian was struck at the intersection of Fourth Street and Central Avenue in Grand Forks,” said Harrison. “Police attended and spoke with the driver and the pedestrian. It was determined that the driver was making a left turn onto Central as an oncoming vehicle had on its high beams.” Harrison said the driver brushed against the pedestrian in the cross walk, who he couldn’t see, causing the pedestrian to fall to the ground. “The pedestrian sustained very minor injuries,” Harrison added. “He said he felt a thump and was knocked to the ground by the vehicle. Impact speed was very slow and the driver stopped as soon as he nudged him.” The pedestrian suffered a sore hip and leg and small scratch on his hand from falling to the ground. B.C. Ambulance attended and checked

out the pedestrian on the scene before releasing him. The driver, a 58-year-old male from Grand Forks, was driving a 1992 Ford Ranger pick-up. The pedestrian was a 71-year-old male from Grand Forks. No charges were laid. DUI at the Lake

On Jan. 31 at 11:19 p.m., an RCMP constable observed a vehicle leaving the parking lot at the Christina Lake Community Hall and it appeared the driver may have been impaired; the constable pulled him over. “The driver denied consuming any liquor; however, the constable could smell liquor coming from him,” said Harrison. “At that point a demand was given and he provided a sample into the roadside screening device. As a result, it indicated a warm which resulted in a three-day driver’s licence suspension and his vehicle being impounded for three days as well.” The individual is a 36-year-old male from Christina Lake. Break-in

On Feb. 1 at 10:27 a.m., RCMP received a report that some time between Jan. 29 and Feb. 1 someone gained access (broke into) a home that was being used as a shop. “It appears that entry was gained by breaking a window,” said Harrison. “Stolen was a compressor, two drills, two brad nailers, two socket sets and a lap top computer.” At this time police have no suspects and no witnesses. Anyone with information is urged to call Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288. Single vehicle collision

On Feb. 1 at 10:30 a.m., RCMP received a complaint of a single vehicle collision on Highway 3 west of Grand Forks. “The driver had already left the scene,” said Harrison. “He was taken to the hospital by a friend for a laceration on his forehead. The driver was traveling east on Highway 3 near Sleepy Hollow Road when he lost control of the vehicle and went off the road to the left. Snow and slippery road conditions contributed to the crash.” Damage to the vehicle, which was a blue 2008 Mazda B2300, was over $5,000. The driver was a 59-year-old male from Grand Forks. Stolen TV

On Feb. 1 at 1:11 p.m., RCMP received a complaint of a stolen television from Extra Foods in Grand Forks. “The suspects were arrested in the matter and the investigation is proceeding,” said Harrison. Arrested was a 34-year-old male from Grand Forks. Also involved, police believe, was a 33-year-old female, also from Grand Forks.

Literacy involves family It was a fun-filled Family Literacy Day event at the Grand Forks and District Public Library on Saturday. The afternoon included crafts, activities and games, and featured a comedy show (for all ages!) by Lucas Myers. (Photo left) Lucas (right) enlisted the help of audience members to demonstrate how pictures tell a story—”the hunter takes spears to the watering hole to hunt antelope”—and how language formed.

Mehmal and her other classmates travelled to Christina Lake to help their CLES buddies make the instruments out of popsicle sticks and bobby pins. The young students were then able to play their instruments for their high school buddies before they headed back to Grand Forks. Submitted photo

Doctor makes school call Dr. Sebastian found time between rounds to visit GFSS and talk to Terry Nuyten’s Science 12 class on Jan. 27. Sebastian talked to the students about how to become a medical practitioner and also answered all kinds of related questions from the students.

About 70 people were on hand to sample several different bottles of single malt Scotch which ranged from 18-year-old Glendronach from Speyside to 12-year-old Royal Lochnager from Highland. The Scotches were accompanied with snacks provided by Twisted Forks Catering.

Kootenay team unites WILL JOHNSON and TAMARA HYND Nelson Star

Nelson hosted a two-day indoor soccer tournament over the weekend that featured over 61 games and 200 players, attracting soccer enthusiasts from Grand Forks, Cranbrook, Castlegar, Fernie, Kimberley and Invermere. “We were bringing the east and west together, under one banner. This is a one-of-a-kind thing for the area, and for the whole Kootenays,” said Whitecaps regional head coach Brett Adams. “A lot of people don’t see the work that’s done behind the scenes to make this happen. But the proof is in the pudding when you can get 200plus players out for a weekend. It’s more than worth it to see the reactions of the players and the parents. They can see where we’re going as a soccer community in the Kootenays,” he said. “It is really exciting to be able to do this and especially with the access to the Nelson soccer indoor facility,” he added. During the tournament, players from U-10 to U-14 were mixed randomly together. The kids played alongside people from other communi-

ties, which was a team-bridging experience for them, Adams said. “It’s a huge benefit for them to play with other players.” He said 10-year-old Nelsonite Jalen Rushton was the standout performer, scoring 14 goals in the tournament. Grand Forks’ 14-year-old Finn Dribney also had a spectacular performance, scoring seven goals in what Adams called a “really competitive tournament.” In the older age groups, which played competitively, the Kootenay West Team 2 won the top spot, winning 4-1. Adams said the most impressive performances were by the goaltenders: Nelsonites Bella Guderyan, 15, and Hannah Quinn, 15; Trail resident Paige Gattafoni, 16; and Invermere player Wasyn Rice, 16. “In an indoor tournament the shots are coming at them left, right and centre. There’s a lot of pressure on them to be able to stand up to the amount of pressure they’re under.” He said he was particularly impressed that Quinn and Guderyan, who just turned 15, held their own against the older players. Adams said as the club gathers momentum, they’re going to start seeing big achievements in the next few years. He added that the older boys had a great weekend as well, and Trail player Nolan Derosa played “an unbelievable technical game and stood out as a leader for the team.” “The level of fitness, the level of understanding of the Fynn Dribney (left) of Grand Forks and Nick game the boys dem- Haydu of Nelson. onstrated, was incredible. There was no kick and rush, and they were really playing attractive soccer,” he said. Adams said they’re now working with colleges and universities to place some of their more elite players, including Derosa. The weekend was an excellent networking opportunity, he added. “This weekend we had parents from all over the Kootenays talking to each other, getting involved, intermingling. To put that on and collect all of us under one banner is remarkable, and long may it continue.” Kevin Mills photo

Oldtimers need goalies CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

For anyone looking for a little exercise during the week, the Oldtimers drop-in hockey league in Grand Forks is looking for goalies. You don’t have to be Patrick Roy or Jacques Plante, you just have to be able to get to the Jack Goddard Memorial Arena in Grand Forks on Mondays through Thursdays from 9 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. The Monday and Wednesday sessions are age 65-plus, while the Tuesday and Thursdays are 55plus. Goalies are not bound by age restrictions. Media liaison Vern Walsh says they are looking for anyone male or female to help out be-

tween the pipes. Walsh said the groups gets anywhere from 10-15 for the older group and up to 20 or more with the Tuesday and Thursday group. “It’s just about having fun and getting some exercise,” said Walsh. “It’s a good thing for us seniors. It’s good exercise.” Walsh said the league has been around for about six years and has grown over the years. It’s actually not a league but a drop-in event. The league is run by Grand Forks and District Recreation (GFREC). “It gives us old guys something to do,” he adds. “It’s good, healthy exercise.” Anyone interested can contact GFREC at 250442-2202.

Shooting stars Jennifer Waldie of Shaw TV in Castlegar was on hand at GFSS last week to tape a feature on the senior girls basketball team.

Gazette Staff

Both the Grade 8 girls and senior girls teams from Grand Forks Secondary lost recently in Trail. The Grade 8 Wolves had a close one, coming from down 10 to within two of J.L. Crowe. The Wolves had a chance to tie at the end but missed, eventually losing 24-22 despite eight points from Tara Makortoff. The senior girls lost 58-28 against a quick and aggressive Crowe team. The senior Wolves found themselves down 17-2 in the first quarter after giving up several fast break baskets. However, some strong defence and good ball movement put the Wolves within eight in the second quarter but the Crowe Hawks pulled ahead with their strong shooting and aggressive play. “They stunned us early with their pressure defence and run-outs,” said coach Craig Lindsay. “We didn’t take care of the ball and had no defensive balance. No one was getting back on defence. Once we made some adjustments there,

we did much better.” J.L. Crowe ran a 3-2 zone, which GFSS had not seen before. “We had been working primarily on our manto-man offence so we really weren’t prepared,” Lindsay said. “But I used a timeout and drew up a simple zone offence and the girls did quite well considering we hadn’t practiced it.” Lindsay added that defensively the Wolves gave up far too many open shots and lay-ups. “We’re going to be working a lot on close-outs next practice that’s for sure,” he said. “Trail is one of the best three point shooting teams we’ve seen and we just let them fire away.” Lindsay did say the team rebounded quite well and when they had a chance to set up the press they were very effective. Alyssa Makortoff led the senior Wolves with seven points, while Katrina Makortoff added six. Next up for the senior team is a tournament in Midway on Feb. 6/7. The junior boys basketball team hosts a tournament this weekend at GFSS.

Public meeting focuses on speckled dace

GRAHAM WATT

Submitted to the Gazette

The speckled dace is a small minnow with an important role in the Kettle River. The species is relatively abundant here, but it is considered endangered because it is the only place in Canada where it occurs and it is isolated from American populations. Now residents of the Boundary and Okanagan Region will have a chance to help the speckled dace and the overall health of the Kettle River. As part of the Kettle River Watershed Management Plan, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) has received funding from the Government of Canada’s National Conservation Plan and the Okanagan Chapter of Trout Unlimited Canada to restore speckled dace habitat near Beaverdell, the Christian Valley, and the upper Granby River.

The public, anglers, landowners and others are invited to join the RDKB and project partners for a public meeting on Monday, Feb. 16 from 3:30 5:30 p.m. at the Westbridge Community Hall. Golder Associates and Trout Unlimited Canada will share information on the importance of speckled dace and options for restoring their habitat, and the public will be able to sign up to help or provide ideas on stream stewardship in the Kettle River Watershed. This project supports the efforts of Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Province of British Columbia in developing a recovery strategy for the speckled dace. Some of the main threats are low river ﬂows and siltation from road building, forestry and livestock access. According to Lesley Peterson, a biologist with Trout Unlimited Canada, “These

Take the Saturday strut

Have you gone north on Riverside on Saturday mornings and noticed a large parade of pooches on the trail by the river? This is the weekly dog walk that leaves from the medical clinic (75th Avenue and Second Street) at 10 a.m., rain or shine. Originally started several years ago by local dog trainer Kathy Novokshnoff as a means for her students to better socialize their dogs, the walks are now a regular, free, Saturday morning event open to anyone with a well-mannered canine companion. Last weekend`s walk saw about a dozen dogs, from miniature schnauzers to massive mastiffs and everything in between. The twolegged walkers are an equally diverse group of various ages and gender. The walk generally splits into subgroups of similar walking pace. When asked, the consensus of the group was that it is a great way for The weekly dog walk leaves from the medical clinic (75th Avenue and Second Street) at 10 both owners and dogs to a.m., rain or shine. get some exercise and a good opportunity to just socialize with others.

Scott, Malcolm John (Scotty) He asked for whisky and drank it, slept, and passed softly into memory Malcolm John "Scotty" Scott, contractor, real estate broker, developer, sportsman, musician, aviator, bon vivant, prankster, devoted friend and mentor, died January 20 in Penticton, BC, after a long decline. He was 85. A pilot while still in his teens, he flew crop dusters in Grand Forks, BC, in the 1940s, and many larger and finer planes for decades thereafter. He tried to enlist in the Canadian air force in the final year of the Second World War, and was prevented from deployment only because a local recruiter recognized the underage 15-year-old. He was a crack shot and an excellent horseman, hunting widely through the hills above Grand Forks throughout his formative years. His quick mind and physical stamina earned him a joint trade rating in both electrical and refrigeration. In 1953 while wiring a light from the top of a ladder at a Greenwood sawmill, he fell into a moving saw nearly amputating his left foot. He married his fiancee, Mary Stooshinoff, while still in his hospital bed in Vancouver. Although doctors told him he might never walk again, he fought back through years of punishing rehab and multiple surgeries, regaining almost full use of his injured foot. He was an avid golfer, tennis player, curler, and skier for the rest of his life. Through the 1960s and 70s, as managing partner of the Boundary group of companies he oversaw the electrical and mechanical subcontracts on three Columbia River Treaty dams, at numerous pulp-and-paper and sawmill operations, and in the mines and coal developments of the East Kootenay. In later years he became a realtor and real estate broker, a property developer in the Lower Mainland and southern Ontario, and a speculative investor never shy to try a long shot. He was a great friend and mentor to many younger men coming up behind, in both professional and fraternal organizations. More than anything Malcolm was widely known and liked for his irrepressible sense of humour, his easygoing manner and ready jokes, and his love of a good party. He was a world-class sweet talker. He was predeceased by his wife Lois Cooke; and by his parents Richard and Aida Irene Scott of Grand Forks, his brothers Nelson, Kenneth and Dale Scott, and his sister Joyce Scott Toewes. He is survived by his sister Norma Scott Evans of West Kelowna; by his first wife Mary Stooshinoff Scott of Victoria and his second wife Joanne Liberon Farrell Scott of New South Wales, Australia; by his children Michael Allan Scott of Vancouver and Carmen Jean Scott (and husband Douglas Parsons) of Victoria; by his stepsons Paul Kelland Farrell (and children Meg and Piper), of New South Wales, Australia, and Ian Fletcher Farrell (and daughter Laura) of Toronto; and most especially by his beloved grand-daughter Hadley Brice Parsons of Victoria. Malcolm led a vey active lifestyle and for years was a member of the Penticton Golf & Country Club, Penticton Curling Club, and Rotary International. He was a long-standing member of Harmony Lodge No. 37 A.F.&A.M. in Grand Forks, BC, as well as a member of Gizeh Shriners of BC & Yukon. A celebration of Malcolm’s life and interment of his ashes will be held in the spring in Grand Forks.
