Grand Forks Gazette

The big gravel pit near the dump will finally be filled in. At the regular council meeting on Monday, Grand Forks City Council approved staff to proceed with remediation of the city’s gravel pit and amend the 2015 financial plan utilizing surplus to fund the remediation. In her report to council, Sasha Bird, manager of development and engineering for the city, said the city received a letter from the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) regarding the condition of the pit and the RDKB landfill. The RDKB advised the city that the over-excavation of the gravel pit has created unstable slopes that have eroded the landfill property

which has impacted the RDKB’s electric fence and jeopardized FortisBC’s electrical transmission infrastructure. The city has undertaken a geotechnical investigation and a detailed survey. Costs for the remediation are estimated to be approximately $175,000. Councillor Julia Butler questioned the price tag and how the money was being spent but did vote along with the motion. “I’m always trying to save money anywhere I can,” she said. “I like to make sure we absolutely do need to spend that much money before it’s spent. It’s a strange world we live in where we have to spend $175,000 to ﬁll a hole but if staff has done their homework and that’s what it costs then I guess that’s what we have to pay. I just want to make sure.”

RDKB regions hand out grants-in-aid CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Several organizations around the West Kootenay and Boundary area will beneﬁt from grants-inaid handed out at the RDKB board meeting on Thursday in Grand Forks. The Grand Forks ATV Club received $1,500 from Area C/Christina Lake; Christina Gateway received three separate grants-in-aid from Area C/Christina Lake ($5,000 for seniors’ housing, $16,000 for homecoming, and $1,188 for Christina Gateway Community Development Association); Grand Forks and District Fall Fair Society received $2,500 from Area D/Rural Grand Forks; Grand Forks Flying Association received $2,000 from Area D/ Rural Grand Forks; Boundary Multi 4-H Club received $1,000 from Area D/Rural Grand Forks; Boundary Youth Soccer received $500 from

Area D/Rural Grand Forks; Grand Forks Curling seniors mixed team received $200 from Area D/Rural Grand Forks; and Boundary Invasive Species Society received $1,000 from Area D/Rural Grand Forks. Grants-in-aid are all handled separately by each region and are based on taxation. “It’s designed to give a helping hand to small community groups that don’t get any funding,” said Grace McGregor, Area C/Christina Lake director and RDKB board chair. McGregor said the organizations they help out are non-proﬁt groups that operate in the community and often rely on grants-in-aid. Area C/Christina Lake has $62,583 available for grants-in-aid, while Area D/Rural Grand Forks has $46,060. Meanwhile, Area E has $83,479, Area B has $26,915 and Area A has $30,452.

1995 Skateboarders are looking into forming a club, with hopes of building a skateboard facility. The youths say an ideal skateboard park would include a pyramid or island, quarter pipe, launch ramps, and burial wall. 2000 The Boundary Economic Development Commission (BEDC) was the victor in a civil suit this week. Bowel Island agriculture economist Wendy Holm launched a civil suit against the BEDC for $13,000 after the BEDC canceled her contract to put together a study of the local possibilities for hemp. She had received $10,000 for delivering a draft of the hemp strategy but the BEDC was concerned Holm was focusing too heavily on the agricultural side of the crop rather than possibilities “outside the farm gate” such as processing. A judge at the Robson Law Courts in Vancouver decided that the BEDC will not have to pay Holm the remainder of money for a hemp strategy contract. 2005 The purpose of a meeting of the business community was to “provoke action” and “open discussion”; that it certainly did as 25 business owners met on short notice to discuss taxes, economic development and tourism, and the Visitor Information Centre (VIC). They were particularly eager to voice concerns about the fate of the VIC, currently house in a condemned building. 2010 The provincial government announced that 124 hectares has been added to the Gilpin Grasslands Park. Local environmental activist Barry Brandow said he wasn’t happy with the news, saying that unless grazing cattle are kept off it, the park’s real value and importance will never be realized.

Getting your taxes done is a daunting task at the best of times. For those in a lower income bracket it can be pricey and difficult, particularly if you don’t have a computer at home. Fortunately, several volunteers offered free income tax clinics for those people with modest incomes through a provincial government program. The clinics were run out of Grand Forks, Greenwood and Christina Lake. “We do income tax paperwork for modest income families which tends to be senior citizens and people on social assistance,” said Karen Johnson, one of the volunteers. “Anyone with a modest income.

Four hired to build new campsites SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Four people will be powering up some work experience building nine new campsites at the Bluejoint Creek provincial recreation site, thanks to nearly $153,000 in provincial Community and Employer Partnership funding for the Grand Forks ATV Club. During the 28-week project, the Grand Forks ATV Club will supervise the trainees, who will be honing their carpentry skills by installing campsite picnic tables and building a variety of facilities, including washrooms, an information kiosk and a sheltered common area in the multi-use Bluejoint Creek site. The Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resources Operations is providing $20,000 to the project for building materials. The workers also will build, clear and enhance hiking trail networks in Granby Provincial Park. A third part of the training for the workers will be organizing the 2015 Grand Forks Fall Fair, which takes place Aug. 28-30. The project will wrap up in November. Job Creation Partnerships are part of the Employment Program of B.C.’s Community and Employer Partnerships, which fund projects that increase employability and share labour market information. The Employment Program of B.C. is celebrating its third anniversary, having launched in April 2012. To date, nearly 560 job seekers have benefited from work experience and nearly 140 projects have been funded throughout the province. By 2022, B.C. is expecting one million job openings with more than two-thirds driven by retirements in an aging population. Government created the BC Skills for Jobs Blueprint to ensure more British Columbians have the skills they need to be first in line for in-demand jobs in B.C.’s diverse, strong and growing economy. The Community and Employer Partnerships program is featured in B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint that helps align training and education with in-demand jobs and provides more support to people who are struggling to gain a foothold in the job market or who face unique challenges.

Celebrate Mom

With Mother’s Day coming up this Sunday, it’s a great time to recognize all the great mothers in this community. A mother is one who is there for you through thick and thin. She’s someone who changed your diapers and wiped your tears and cleaned up after you. It’s almost a shame that there is only one day set aside to honour mothers in the calendar. However, do make sure you take advantage and visit your mom if you can. If you can’t then be sure to send a card, send flowers, phone, Skype, do what you can. She’s sure to appreciate it. For local families, Rilkoff’s is once again having their Mother’s Day feast this weekend. It’s a great place to take your mom and the rest of the family too. It’s become so big that it’s even spilled into Saturday as well. So there’s no excuse not to go. Not to mention that proceeds (by donation) go to a trio of great causes: Habitat for Humanity, Relay For Life and the Rotary Spray Park.

Other than two runs to the finals 12 years apart, the Canucks have been mostly about disappointment.

Also, it was a first round collapse to the dreaded Flames; a team that hadn’t made the playoffs in some seven years. It’s another wait until next year season for boys.

and the Canadiens eke out another series win or two, I’ll be okay. NHL hockey tends to be a lot tougher to make predictions than other sports. Upsets are almost the norm and a hot goalie can push an ordinary team into an extraordinary cup-winning team. My NBA pool is a tricky one. We’ve gone with a knockout “Last Man Standing” format. Each round you pick a team you think will win but once you’ve picked a team you can’t use them again. So there’s real strategy in whether to take a sure thing, like the Lebron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers, or not, because you can’t pick them again and could run out of teams down the road. But if you lose early, you’re out anyway. The NBA second round looks very promising with the Houston Rockets and explosive scorer James “Fear the Beard” Harden going against the L.A. Clippers, led by Chris Paul. In

the East, Cleveland is the favourite but lost big guy Kevin Love to a shoulder injury. The Cavs will not have it easy against a Bulls team with Derrick Rose back and Pau Gasol. The top seeds (Atlanta in the east and Golden State in the west) are good but have little deep play-off experience so it’s buyer beware. Of course with the Splash Brothers (Seth Curry and Klay Thompson) in the Warrior backcourt, they could be very tough to beat. Closer to home, there are plenty of local sports for young and old alike. The Boundary Ladies Softball League is going and has six teams from throughout the Boundary. One local resident is trying to get mixed soccer going in Grand Forks. Ultimate Frisbee is happening every Friday night at City Park. Those are just a few I can think of. All around a great opportunity for locals to get some exercise and socialize.

Opinion

to the editor

Presence of cattle is obvious Editor, The Gazette: I am writing in support of Barry Brandow’s comments regarding range cattle. Cows have no place in the backcountry; they are, in fact, a scourge and should be kept where they belong, in a barn or blissfully grazing a farm pasture. Many years ago a friend and I hiked from Mt. Gladstone to Mt. Faith, a fulﬁlling experience…..that was, until our second camp at the basin in the Mt. Faith area. We camped near a creek—or what used to be a creek. There were cattle in the area and the

waterway had become a barnyard mud and manure hole. The surrounding drier ground was trampled and uncharacteristically compacted…..and the entire area stunk. Those who make the erroneous claim that the bovine hordes have no worse of an impact than elk do not know what they are talking about, are delusional, or are just plain lying. I have hiked where there are elk—in the Selkirks, Purcells and the Rockies—and signs of their presence are barely existent. Other than minimal indications, you pretty well

have got to run into them before realizing you’re on their turf. The presence of cattle, on the other hand, is glaringly and depressingly obvious. So…..echoing Brandow’s sentiment somewhat, why should I jump on the hoary alyssum destruction train while someone else’s sirloins, hamburgers, and rump roasts are permitted to make waste of the places in which I normally ﬁnd peace, tranquillity and serenity? Larry Hudema, Grand Forks

Please ‘step up to the plate’ Editor, The Gazette: In response to “Junior girls softball thrives” by Craig Lindsay (Gazette, Wednesday, April 29): As past president of BGFA (for a number of years), I would like to commend Jennifer Wetmore and Dayna Esson for stepping up to coach the junior girls division this year. Fastpitch softball (through Sofball BC) is a fantastic sport for girls (Grade 1 - 12) to participate in. Our league has run for many years with both a junior and a senior division, including teams from Chris-

tina Lake. Sadly, there was not enough volunteer base to run the league this year and thus, the senior division has folded. The senior girls who wanted to continue with softball, and felt capable of doing so, have opted to play, and have been welcomed by, our local ladies’ league (see “Fastpitch league expands” in last week’s paper). As with most organizations, it takes many interested and dedicated volunteers to run something like Boundary Girls’ Fastpitch Association or BGFA (not simply a president,

as implied in Craig Lindsay’s article last week). It is my hope that BGFA is able to thrive with BOTH divisions playing in the future. This year’s teams have been chosen; however, there is still hope for next year. If you are interested in assisting in some way so that the young women of our area can play fastpitch softball amongst their peers, please “step up to the plate” and offer your time and efforts. Thank you. Lee-Anna Klassen, past-president, Boundary Girls Fastpitch Association

The NDP is the only federal party that has consulted widely across the country to develop a clear way forward that is fully committed to bringing about electoral reform. Here are just a few of the many things that are wrong with Canada’s current FPTP electoral system: 1) It promotes false majorities in the House of Commons. There is no better example of this than Stephen Harper’s current Conservative majority government won with less than 40 per cent of the vote. And, because the prime minister has so much executive power embedded in the legislature, he has radically transformed our country by ramming through numerous pieces of legislation that were opposed by 60 per cent of the electorate. 2) It exacerbates a false sense of regional differences. For example, although a full third of Albertans marked their ballots in 2011 for other parties, only Conservatives MPs were elected. This result creates an image that the entire province is monolithically Conservative which is clearly untrue. 3) There is a consistent under-representation of women in our system. 4) It exacerbates adversarialism and hyper-partisanship rather than co-operation and compromise in legislative activity and government policy. 5) The role of MPs is undermined because voters have to choose, with one vote, the local representative they would like to have representing their constituency, the party they would like to see with the most seats in the House of Commons and, very often, which party leader they prefer. All of these things, under a properly structured proportional representation system, would be dealt with and result in a more balanced democratic system. Under the mixed member proportional (MMP) system favoured by the NDP, voters’ preferences would be counted in two ways: a) voters will elect a single MP to represent their constituency as they have always done; and b) their votes will additionally count as part of the popular vote that determines a proportionate seat total for each party in the House of Commons. By combining a proportional representation of parties in Parliament with the direct election of an MP in each constituency, a party receiving 40 per cent of the vote would gain only 40 per cent of the seats. This is the system that is being used quite successfully in New Zealand, Scotland and in Germany. These jurisdictions are electing a higher percentage of women and partisanship has decreased while civility, cooperation, and thoughtful debate leading to better policies have become the norm. Because it is rare for any given party to get over 50 per cent of the popular vote (and thus over 50 per cent of the seats) cooperation with other parties has simply become a fact of life for any government. Parties and politicians are much less prone to present extreme contrasts between themselves and other parties as a way to manoeuver for a single-party majority government come election time. To elect an NDP government and make fair elections a reality, voters of all political stripes will need to come together this one time using the current flawed system. However, if we can beat the system in the 2015 election, 2019 will bring about the first truly democratic and representative government in Canadian history.

former mayor and others on council. The “anti-water meter group” have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of in their conduct; they worked long and hard to bring forward valid, wellresearched concerns and more fiscally viable water conservation options for the city to consider. All of those meetings were taped, and I hope that people will check out the GFTV.ca website for themselves so that they can see firsthand how intelligent, articulate citizens with genuine, valid concerns were summarily dismissed by the previous council when they got up to ask questions and/or make presentations. One more very important point needs to be made: I did not see Ms. Hammett at most of the meetings I attended, and she was not yet on city council. So where is the credibility in her statement above? To me, it sounds like she’s trying to re-paint history with unreliable, inflammatory information. Bev Tripp, Grand Forks

himself and his family against those peoples’ tactics. As a proponent of the “anti-water meter group,” I really question this line of thinking because I attended many of the council meetings where water meter issues were discussed. In fact, the disrespect that was shown was directed from council to the concerned residents who had the courage to speak up in the face of bullying and intimidation from their side. I personally endured councillors with their backs turned toward me as I spoke, and received thoroughly dismissive, condescending attitudes from the

Editor, The Gazette: I am writing this letter because I feel strongly that the truth must be told. In the April 22 edition of the Gazette front page article, titled “Rehiring city CAO is ‘a lark,’ says Pharand, “Councilor Hammett is quoted as saying that “the behavior of a minority of residents and non-residents over the installation of water meters was appalling such that bullying, intimidation, harassment and threats were directed towards Mr. Allin and his family.” The argument she laid out was that he was dismissed for the protection of

of operations, is quoted as saying, “The most effective way to preserve our water supply is to conserve through water meters.” He is also quoted as saying, “Without water meters the city will need to build additional capacity and operational costs will continue to rise.” Both of these statements are of doubtful validity, considering the success other cities have had in locating and repairing leaks at much lower costs than metering. Locating and repairing leaks should be a first priority, whether meters are to be installed or not. It would seem to make sense to do all the small things that would make an immediate impact on consumption, like sprinkling restrictions, and then move to a leak location and repair program. Meters should have been a last resort. B. Hardwicke, Grand Forks

repaired, etc., before any accurate comparison could be made. It has been reported that our city estimates that between 25 to 35 per cent of the water entering our distribution lines is lost through leakage while Veritec Consultants, who were working on the Revelstoke water system, estimated the possible loss through leakage to be between 27 and 74 per cent. Even if our system loses only 25 per cent, our consumption rate would be reduced to the provincial average if these leaks could be located and repaired. Matching the average would seem to be an impossibility, given the climatic differences, but shows that one should be wary of unsubstantiated numbers that appear to be promoting an agenda.

Editor, The Gazette: Many times during the ongoing water meter controversy we have been scolded for consuming one third more water per capita than the provincial average. I suggest that this statement is misleading, irrelevant and impossible to prove. The provincial average is basically set by about 80 per cent of our population, which lives in the Fraser Valley, Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and other coastal communities. The climate of these areas is such that there is seldom a genuine need for sprinkling and comparing their water consumption to that of residents of the hot and dry Southern Interior is meaningless. All communities would have to be completely monitored (metered!) and all water systems would have to have all losses through leakage located and

Dinner May 9 5:30 pm (right after the meat draw)

There seems to be a desperation in the minds of a few to “move on” with the water meter program, shake hands, smile, and carry on like nothing happened. Well, something did happen, and it has fractured this community. A small group of “we know what’s best for you” political types totally ignored a huge public outcry against plans for the water meter program and blundered on regardless. Former city council undertook a gross abuse of executive privilege, against the wishes of some 800 petitioners. They just put their fingers in theirs ears, refused to listen to alternate plans, and decided to spend 1.3 million dollars of taxpayers’ money on a very ill-informed program. I believe residents really felt bullied: many homeowners received letters that appeared to threaten to charge the homeowner $2,500 for a pit meter if we didn’t book an installation appointment by Dec. 1, 2014.

They didn’t even use certified plumbers, which is a clear breach of the BC Plumbing Code. A town like this doesn’t recover from disrespect like that in just a short while. The victims here are democracy and the sense of trust and community one has living in a harmonious, respectful town. Far from what some will want you to believe, only a handful of extremely vocal residents are interested in the current program. I believe the real majority are against the program, as proven by the 800 or so signature petition, and by the unending flow of negativity to it by many, many residents. But how do you heal such abuse and betrayal from someone you elected to represent you in office? There is talk that this negativity is hurting Grand Forks financially and otherwise, limiting interest from external business and such. Well, you can put full credit for that on former council members’ shoulders. This community is really suffering from their extreme arrogance and disrespect. The current city council should be

concerned about undoing the damage done, once again trying to move in a direction of democracy and respect rather than rule and obedience. You don’t get respect or harmony by use of the stick. There are alternate solutions to the current water meter plan, ones that are much less expensive, less invasive, much less disruptive, do not put the City in a position of liability, and do not harm residents with RF radiation. The current water meter plan could be viewed to support vested interest groups (those who may profit from our water) and to corporations making moves to take over our God-given resources. My opinion, of course… but do you realize that, down the road, with water meters, our water system could be taken over by some thirdparty corporation that could charge you by the liter? The gullible have fallen for the water meter sales pitch of the vested interests, thinking that this is the only way to save water. Jack Koochin, Grand Forks

Homeowner gets third notice COUNCIL BRIEFS By Craig Lindsay

Owner doesn’t show The owner of a property on 7433 Riverside Drive had a chance to plead his case to council on Monday but didn’t show up. The homeowner was given a chance to explain his plans to clean up the property so it would no longer be a nuisance within the time frame given in which to bring the property in compliance with the unsightly premises bylaw. Wayne Kopan, manager of building inspection and bylaw services for Grand Forks, explained that the owner has been given second notice to comply and has 60 days to do so. Council voted unanimously to authorize staff to proceed with the third and final notice after the extension has expired on June 9. Amend zoning bylaw

Council voted unanimously to give final reading to the zoning amendment bylaw. The amendment will allow the permitted use of tool and equipment rental facilities to the I-2 (General Industrial) zone. In the background information from Sasha Bird, manager of development and engineering, she stated that city staff members made the recommen-

dation based on recent public enquiries and the fact that the intended use fits the form and character of the existing uses and surrounding businesses. The bylaw amendment was advertised on April 8 and 15 in the Gazette. There was also a public hearing on April 20 at council chambers, which no members of the public attended.

A petition going around Grand Forks is asking for the attorney general to look at the legal ramifications of rehiring the CAO for Grand Forks. The petition’s organizer, Donald Pharand, who doesn’t live in the City of Grand Forks,

RDKB considers supporting regional SPCA facility CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Last week’s puzzle solved

After hearing a presentation from the head of the BC SPCA, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) board of directors decided they needed more time to look at the proposal. The board have decided to strike up a subcommittee to look into the request from the BC SPCA to have the RDKB contribute to the building of a new SPCA facility in Trail. At a board meeting in Grand Forks on Thursday, the RDKB board of directors heard a presentation from BC SPCA CEO Craig Daniell, who spoke about different options for the SPCA building in Trail, which services the entire Kootenay Boundary region. Daniell said the facility is in need of replacement and gave the board two options: one, not contribute at all; or two, to contribute $550,000 and be an equal partner. The first option would provide service to approximately 300 animals per year. The second would provide service to 500 as well as add a kenneling component. The board asked Daniell several questions including whether there was a third option of contributing less than the full $550,000. Daniell said the SPCA was open to other options and other services. “We’ve been writing to the regional district and trying to engage the regional district in discussion for probably the last two and a half years because our facility in Trail is really not up to the standard that is expected from our organization,” Daniell told the Gazette after the meeting. “It also doesn’t meet the needs of the community. We have the conclusion that that facility cannot stay open indefinitely. As a result we’ve made a decision that we need to move forward with a new facility. What we’d like to do is work in partnership with the regional district to come up with a new model for animal welfare in the region.” Daniell said that despite only presenting two options at the meeting, the SPCA is open to different options for the model. After hearing from Daniell and receiving a report from Mark Andison, general manager of operations/deputy CAO, the RDKB board of directors voted to conditionally support the strike up a subcommittee to further study the proposal. The motion stated: That the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary directors are interested in a potential partnership with the SPCA, the details of which will be forthcoming. Further, that the SPCA be advised accordingly. The motion passed with only director Marguerite Rotvold voting against. RDKB CAO John MacLean summed up the desires of the board by saying, “The background

message we want to send to the SPCA is that we can’t get this done in a month’s time. We’re willing to talk but you’ve got to give us more time.” RDKB board chair Grace McGregor said the board is very interested in working with the SPCA. She said she invited the SPCA to the meeting to answer the many questions the board had about the proposed new Trail facility. “If we can come to some kind of partnership agreement somewhere down the road no matter what it looks like, I think it’s better for all of us,” said McGregor.

RDKB BRIEFS By Craig Lindsay

National Park At the board meeting for the Regional District of the Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) on Thursday in Grand Forks, the board received a communication package from the South Okanagan Similkameen National Park Board. As an adjacent local government, the RDKB is a stakeholder although they have not voted whether to support the park at this time. The package included the results of an independent opinion poll which said that support for a national park in the South Okanagan-Similkameen has grown to more than 3 to 1. The board voted to receive the package as information. Spray park support The RDKB board of directors approved a gas tax application in the amount of $25,000 to the Grand Forks Rotary Club to help with the construction of the children’s spray park in City Park. The total cost of the project is $400,000. Curling rink roof The Grand Forks Curling Rink roof will be getting a facelift. The RDKB board voted in favour of approving the quote from Heritage Roofing for re-roofing the flat roof of the curling rink in the amount of $32,267. The decision was made after the board received a report from Tom Sprado, RDKB manager of facilities and recreation in Grand Forks. Sprado stated that the flat roof is failing (leaks) and needs to be re-roofed. During budget deliberations it was noted that the roof was failing and that reserves may need to be considered to repair the roof in 2015. “The curling rink is a real asset to our respective communities,” said RDKB board chair Grace McGregor. “They need some upgrades. A lot of seniors use it and they have youth programs. It’s important to keep those kind of things going in your community.”

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Area C/Christina Lake director Grace McGregor is one of only 14 people from across the province named to B.C.’s new Rural Advisory Council. The appointment was made on March 11 by Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and Donna Barnett, parliamentary secretary. The mandate of the council is to provide independent and impartial input and advice to the B.C. government on matters related to rural development in the province, strengthen rural economies, and support rural prosperity and thriving rural communities across the province. McGregor said she was asked if she wanted to join the committee after being involved with the Rural BC project previously. “Because I had chaired the steering committee for the Rural BC project, I felt rather bound to do that so I did,” said McGregor. “I’m really,

really happy about the people at the table. The province is really well represented.” The committee met for the first time last week in Victoria. McGregor said they have a number of different topics they will be exploring in the coming year. “I think the direction will probably be different each meeting because it will hinge on what the group wants,” she said. The initial focus for the council will be to provide advice on rural economic development, including rural access to capital and business development support for rural entrepreneurs and businesses. Meetings will be held four times a year and will be chaired by Donna Barnett, parliamentary secretary, with a co-chair to be selected. “We have accomplished good things for small communities—and rural B.C.—by working together,” said Barnett in a press release. “There is a lot to be said in favour of taking a collaborative approach, and the Rural Advisory Council will be helpful in that endeavour.”

Vernon driver fails ASD

On April 25 at 12:33 a.m. RCMP observed a vehicle in the downtown area. The vehicle was stopped and the four occupants were checked by police. “The driver of the vehicle couldn’t produce a driver’s licence,” said Cpl. Richard Lanz. “He had an odour of alcohol coming from him. An ASD (approved screening device) demand was read. He provided a sample of his breath which read a fail.” The driver of the vehicle was issued a 90-day IRP (immediate roadside prohibition) and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days. “The vehicle he was driving happened to be a courtesy vehicle from a dealership in Vernon,” added Lanz. The driver, a 22-year-old male from Vernon, was charged with having no valid driver’s licence. Driver known to police

On May 2 at 1:15 p.m., police observed a vehicle on Boundary Drive near Central Avenue. “The driver of the vehicle was known to police and a traffic stop was conducted,” said Lanz. “The driver turned in behind the Shell Station. Upon investigation, (it was determined) that the driver was a prohibited driver.”

Lanz said that charges are being submitted for driving while prohibited and the vehicle has been impounded for seven days. The driver was a 23-year-old male from Grand Forks. No headlights

On May 3 at 8:31 p.m., police observed a vehicle on Highway 41 (to Danville) with no headlights. “Police turned around and observed the vehicle travelling and crossing the white line onto the shoulder,” said Lanz. “The vehicle was stopped. The driver showed signs that he had been drinking.” Lanz said that an ASD demand was read and the driver recorded a fail. “A 90-day IRP was issued along with a 30-day vehicle impoundment,” said Lanz. The driver of the vehicle was a 73-year-old male from Grand Forks. Woman given driving prohibition On May 3 at 9:44 p.m., a vehicle was stopped near Boundary Drive and Central Avenue by police and checked for licence, registration and driver sobriety. “An odour of liquor was noticed on the driver,” said Lanz. “An ASD demand was given.” The driver, a 58-year-old female from Grand Forks, was given a 24-hour driving prohibition as a result.

Creative ways to help your children enjoy vegetables:

• Plant a garden with your child. Let them help care for the plants, harvest the ripe vegetables, and wash and prepare them. They will probably be much more interested in eating what they helped to grow. • Slip grated or diced vegetables into favorite foods. Try adding them to rice, cottage cheese, cream cheese, guacamole, or even macaroni and cheese. Zucchini pancakes are a big hit at our house, as are carrot muffins. • Camouflage vegetables with a favorite sauce. • Use vegetables as finger foods and dip them in a favorite sauce or dip. • Using a small cookie cutter, cut the vegetables into interesting shapes. • Steam your greens. They are much more flavorful and usually sweeter than when raw. • Make veggie art. Create colorful faces with olive- slice eyes, tomato ears, mushroom noses, bell-pepper mustaches, and any other playful features you can think of. Our eighth child, Lauren, loved to put olives on the tip of each finger. “Olive fingers” would then nibble this nutritious and nutrient-dense food off her fingertips. Zucchini pancakes make a terrific face to which you can add pea eyes, a carrot nose, and cheese hair. • Concoct creative camouflages. There are all kinds of possible variations on the old standby “cheese in the trees” (cheese melted on steamed broccoli florets). Or, you can all enjoy the pleasure of veggies topped with peanut butter sauce, a specialty of Asian cuisines. www.askdrsears.com

After performing a year of service work, the GFSS Global Citizenship Club earned tickets to attend the ME to WE concert. They joined 15, 000 other students on April 23 in Seattle, Wash. The event was hosted by Free the Children’s Craig Kielburger and featured many celebrities and inspirational speakers. Currently, the club is preparing for a 24-hour famine event at the high school next week. The money raised through pledges was to go to poverty projects in Nicaragua; however, the students are now planning to send part of the proceeds to Nepal to help with the earthquake disaster relief.

Many mothers now have two jobs

The history of Mother’s Day What could be more appropriate than taking a special day to celebrate the loving care our mothers give us day in and day out? In fact, people have been honouring their mothers for centuries. But did you know that this day originated with the Greeks who held a celebration each spring to honour Rhea, the mother of all the gods? During the 16th century, the British adapted this ancient tradition and instituted “Mothering Day.” This Sunday gave all young people who worked away from home an opportunity to visit their mothers for a special day of festivities in her honour. Unfortunately, this tradition slowly died out over time and actually disappeared for a few centuries until an elementary school teacher in the United States revived public interest in this day. After several years of government lobbying, Mother’s Day was declared a national holiday in 1914. Shortly after, when American soldiers stationed in France during World War I sent a horde of cards and letters to their mothers in May, the French took notice and decided that this was a holiday they would like to celebrate as well. Today in Canada, Mother’s Day is one Umbrella Sun of our most-celebrated holidays. From coast Dress, to coast, mothers are showered with love and each Assorted Designs presents.

Many households nowadays need two wage earners to pay the bills. And that means more mothers are working than ever before. Whether their job meets their personal career goals or is simply a way of making ends meet, many working mothers have two full time jobs: their paying job and their non-paying job, that is, household responsibilities. Working mothers with young children are often faced with an exhausting list of daily tasks. Even a helpful spouse can only partially lighten this load. To get everything done, many mothers must rush from one responsibility to the next, barely managing to keep things under control. Until a problem arises, that is. When a child is sick and must stay home from school, many working moms must suddenly find someone to care for the child, or take an unplanned sick day. While family responsibilities can cut into their work, work can also cut into their family responsibilities. When this happens, working mothers often have no choice but to sacrifice precious family time. With time at such a premium, working moms develop exceptional time management skills very quickly. Unfortunately, this hectic pace can take its toll on their patience and even on their health. Given this pace, it’s no surprise that many working moms are often exhausted. However, it is important that they find healthy ways of managing stress and take full advantage of a few quiet moments to sit back and unwind. If your mom rushes around day in and day out, take advantage of Mother’s Day to give her some much-needed special treatment. Let her know how much you appreciate everything she does and find ways to make this a truly carefree day. Take her to a restaurant, book a massage, buy concert tickets or better yet, reserve a week at a vacation resort!

Three Rangers in Granby District— Tori Stavenjord from Grand Forks, and Kim Faminoff and Thao Atkinson from Midway—joined six other girls from across Kootenay Area to be presented with their Chief Commissioner’s Gold Award at a ceremony in Castlegar. This achievement is the top award which can be attained as a girl member of Girl Guides of Canada (GGC) and they are now in a position to apply for GGC scholarships at an area, provincial and national level. The three girls completed their Canada Cord as Pathfinders which gave them two high school credits. To obtain the Chief Commissioner’s Gold award, the girls have worked on nine modules which have many challenges including celebrating Guiding; the environment; global awareness; leadership and a 20-hour service project. All three girls have enthusiastically worked on these modules and enjoyed the new learning experiences and fun they have shared. It has been over 12 years since any girls in Granby District have achieved this award so their Guiders and parents are very proud of them. The girls received the CCGA pin on a blue ribbon; a framed certificate signed by the B.C. Provincial Commissioner; a gift bag containing several items from Kootenay Area, flowers and an inscribed picture from B.C. GGC Council.

Partners in the event were the Grand Forks ATV Club, Grand Forks Community Trails Society, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary and the B.C. Recreation and Parks Association. Submitted photo

Grand Forks Gazette

Wee Scot one of the finest players GERRY FOSTER

For the Grand Forks Gazette

Driving into Chesley, Ontario from the north you are greeted by a giant bull named Big Bruce. However, the story you are about to read, although it may seem astonishing, encompasses no bull. Chesley is the birthplace of Duncan McMillan “Mickey” MacKay whose connection with Grand Forks and hockey in British Columbia is one for the ages. To get right to the point, Mickey MacKay is one of the finest hockey players to ever don a pair of skates in B.C. His stature of 5 feet 9 inches and about 163 pounds would raise some doubts to be sure. And one source said he never really began skating till he was 15. Mickey left Ontario for Alberta in 1912 and played his first season of organized hockey for the Edmonton Dominions, members of the Alberta Senior

League. From there he travelled to Grand Forks where he signed as a free agent in November 1913. He wasn’t in this bustling mining town for long. After scoring 15 goals and displaying a ton of talent, a larger stage awaited. The Vancouver Millionaires of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association signed him the following November. Centering a line with the legendary Fred “Cyclone” Taylor, the rookie scored a hat trick in his first game of that 1914-15 season. This was merely the beginning of a fairy-tale year in hockey for Vancouver. They had an outstanding lineup. Taylor scored 23 goals during the 17-game regular season; the wee Scot recently arrived from the Boundary Hockey League netted 33! Cyclone Taylor was not bothered by this. He told his biographer Eric Whitehead years later that Mickey MacKay was one of

the greatest players he ever saw. Comments on the Hockey Hall of Fame Legends of Hockey website concur: “His offensive heroics made him one of the Vancouver Millionaires’ most popular stars.” In The Life and Times of Grand Forks written and compiled by Jim and Alice Glanville, they share the following story on the exploits of Mickey MacKay. It describes a play in the final game of the 1914 season between Grand Forks and Greenwood. “The first period saw Mickey MacKay pull off what is perhaps a record in hockey. After facing off at the very start, he started straight for the opponent’s goal, beating four men enroute and tallying the first goal for the Forks in about five seconds with no one but himself having been able to touch the rubber.” Not surprisingly, he was named the cyclone of the Boundary Hockey League.

The Millionaires won the league title and next up were the Ottawa Senators. At stake— the coveted Stanley Cup. The eastern team sported five future Hall of Famers. Yet it was the Pacific Coast squad who dominated in winning the series three straight. They blitzed the Senators 12-3 in the final game with MacKay scoring three goals. His first marker was described by the Vancouver Sun as “one of the finest bits of individual work of the night.” Vancouver’s first Stanley Cup win was obvious cause for celebration. There was one damper on the party as Ottawa forgot to bring the cup with them. Were they over confident or was it simply an inexplicable error? Perhaps in a bizarre way it was some kind of anathema as Vancouver has never again won Stanley’s mug. Three of the players on the

stick-handling abilities and his quick accurate shot.” In 1989 he was inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame and is also a member of the Boston Bruins Hall of Fame. MacKay scored 260 regular season and playoff goals in three top-flight leagues between 1914 and 1929 when the number of games played were far fewer than today. Mickey MacKay and Fred “Cyclone” Taylor were superstars. There were arguments as to which of them was the better player. Joe Pelletier, writing in his Hockey History Blog on the subject of Chicago Black Hawks legends, referred to a Canadian Press article written by the father of west coast hockey, Lester Patrick: “(MacKay) was perhaps the greatest centre we ever had on the coast; an equal favourite with Fred (Cyclone) Taylor in the mind of the masses. I always held to the theory that Taylor was the best all-rounder, but many differed.” After his professional hockey career concluded in 1930, MacKay and his wife retired to Grand Forks. In the aforementioned blog by Joe Pelletier he comments, “He returned to beautiful British Columbia where his heart had never left.”

We are truly and deeply grateful for our loving, caring community. Our thanks to you all and to anyone we may have forgotten to mention.

A fitting tribute Long-time resident Bill Seabrook recently passed away suddenly. He had driven logging truck for a few local companies in the area over the years, and it was ﬁtting that his fellow drivers paid tribute to him Saturday by gathering together to drive past the Omega where all the family and friends had gathered for his celebration of life. It was an impressive sight as the red tow truck allowed the trucks to pull out as one unit—Bill’s truck, owned by Mid-Boundary Logging from Midway, led the parade. Submitted photo

This week is Palliative Care Week SUBMITTED

Dorothy (Dot) Marie Pellow September 4, 1938 – April 17, 2015

Dot was born in Windsor, Ontario, passed away at the age of 76. She was the third of eight in a very close-knit family and was predeceased by her parents John and Jean Wigle; nephew Garreth Wigle. She is lovingly survived by her son Marc (Ann) Pellow and daughter Kim (Dave) Bartlett; seven cherished grandchildren: Connor Pellow, Cody (Cherisse) Bartlett, Brendan Pellow, Erinn Bartlett, Timothy Pellow, Zane Bartlett, Hannah Bartlett; one great granddaughter Skyler Bartlett. She will be sadly missed by her brothers and sisters: John (Pat) Wigle, Kathy Sloan, Mary (Roy) Harvey, Don (Beth) Wigle, Jim (Janine) Wigle, Bob (Cara) Wigle, Bill (Bonnie) Wigle and her many special nieces and nephews. Dot began her career as a teacher – a natural gift she was blessed with. She attended teacher’s college, taught primary grades and would occasionally return to the classroom as a substitute while raising her own children. She had a lifelong love of babies and children who would always respond back with affection when they interacted. Lasting childhood memories were made with Dot. She became adept at packing and moving as her family was posted to various communities in Canada and Europe with the military. Dot took advantage of these opportunities to meet and make good friends. The family settled in Cochrane, Alberta in 1978. Dot thoroughly enjoyed being an employee at the University of Calgary where she worked in payroll and library circulation. She was a friendly face to her fellow colleagues, students and their families. Dot retired in 2003 and her colleagues bid her a fond farewell. In retirement, Dot devoted her time to visiting and assisting residents at Bethany Care Centre and by continuing to be actively involved in All Saints Anglican Church. She could often be found spending time with her dear friends and family. Dot was very well known for her delicious baked goods. Her standards were high, the results were nothing less than perfect and the items were very sought after at church bake sales. In 2006 Dot moved to Grand Forks to be closer to her family. She helped care for her family and others in the community such as running errands for neighbours and often socializing while out for her daily strolls. She cherished frequent visits from friends and family and she joyfully served at Holy Trinity for as long as her health allowed her. As Dot’s health started failing, friends and family strongly supported her. Her brothers, sisters and good friends visited and reminisced about good times. These visits were much anticipated and blessed her with comfort. During her decline, her kind heart and loving soul never changed. She would reach out to those who needed a kind word, a gentle touch or comfort. She thoroughly loved her family with the deepest possible love and she was the same way with her siblings, nieces, nephews, friends and everyone she met. She had a gentle way of making everyone feel special and valued. It was a rare gift for one person to possess such caring and kindness. She was very humble and it was so easy to love her dearly. We will very, very much miss our mom, grandma, sister, aunt, friend… Thank you to all who showed Dot patience, caring and compassion. All who knew Dot are invited to a Celebration of Her Loving Life at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Grand Forks, B.C. on Saturday, May 9 at 11:00 am. In lieu of ﬂowers, Dot wished that donations be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada (atrial ﬁbrillation), Holy Trinity Anglican Church or Alzheimer’s Society of B.C.

Every man’s heart one day beats its ﬁnal beat. His lungs breathe their ﬁnal breath, and if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them bleed deeper in something that’s larger than life. Then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized by the storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever.

Walter Kienas

Walter “Wally Walker” Kienas passed away suddenly in Vernon, B.C. on Friday May 1, 2015. On this day Miller Welding Supplies’ stock prices plummeted. Busch Beer was also highly alarmed. Walt was an accomplished millwright, welder, and mechanic and enjoyed working with his hands. Walt enjoyed his dirty jokes, a good cold beer, racing his car and spending time with his family. He is survived by his daughter Jaxx who he loved and was always proud of. Walt is also survived by former wife and good friend Gayle, siblings Shannon, Lorna, Vic and George and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. There will be a memorial celebration of Walt’s happy life at Christina Lake Community hall on Tuesday, May 12 at 11 a.m. Small luncheon provided.

spaces throughout the province — with the goal of doubling these spaces by the year 2020,” said Health Minister Terry Lake in a press release. “While death is an extremely sensitive and sad topic, it affects everyone and does not discriminate. That’s why we are starting conversations of our own to make B.C.’s health services more personal and patient-centred, with a focus on improving palliative and end-of-life care. “A patient’s needs and wishes should be at the heart of effective end-of-life services, with a consideration for things like comfort, quality of life, respect for treatment decisions and family support. In the coming months, we will be announcing funding to support improved access to care throughout the province. “This year’s theme is the power of 10, focused on spreading the message about the importance of talking about hospital palliative care with 10 of your friends, family and acquaintances. By having these difﬁcult but crucial conversations, you’re helping open the lines of communications about what best meets your needs at the end of your life. “End-of-life touches all of us. We honour and thank hospice services in communities throughout B.C., and the compassionate health-care professionals who deliver them, helping patients and families transition into the ﬁnal stages of life.” Learn more about advance care planning by visiting: seniorsbc.ca/legal/healthdecisions/.

Tour about creating wellness SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

A new initiative to connect parents, youth, teachers and doctors is making its way across the Kootenay Boundary. Brought to the region by the Kootenay Boundary Local Action Team for the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substance Use Collaborative, Kindness Creates Wellness is a series of events that bring together people in communities throughout the Boundary to focus on increasing mental health literacy for parents, teachers and youth, fostering stronger connections between community and schools, and reducing stigmas. The Kindness Creates Wellness events are just one of the many initiatives brought to the Kootenay Boundary by the Local Action Team which brings together families, doctors, representatives from three school districts, mental health clinicians, drug and alcohol counsellors and community agencies to improve mental health wellness in the region. “We know that the best care happens when the team surrounding the patient is working together,” said Dr. Cindy Loukras, specialist physician lead. “These events are a great way to build the strong relationships necessary to fully support youth dealing with these issues.” Each Kindness Creates Wellness event will include a screening of the film Happy and a specially selected panel of expert speakers to engage the audience in conversations about community mental health wellness and discuss how happiness increases the more one is physically active, performs kind actions for the benefit of others rather than for oneself, and feels close to family and friends. Dr. Todd Kettner, School District 8 psychologist and Collaborative Team member, said, “We had over 65 people come to the first Kindness Creates Wellness event in Castlegar and it was great to see them engage with each other around the subject of mental health wellness. It was a living example of the ultimate message the film gives—happiness is about relationship and how we help each other. It’s not about me or you, it’s about us.” Each Kindness Creates Wellness event will be tailored to address community mental health needs. Some will be commu-

nity based, while others will be presented in the local school. The next event will be held on May 7, National Child and Youth Mental Health Day, at the Salmo Secondary School for students and parents. Events will follow through 2015 in Kalso (June), Nelson and Trail (both in the fall).

Dorothy Chernoff

September 22, 1930 – April 24, 2015 Dorothy Chernoff was born on September 22, 1930, in Grand Forks, BC, to parents Sam and Tina (nee Plotnikoff) Strukoff, in the Sion Community village referred to as the Horkoff/Lazeroff Village. She was the youngest of three children having an older brother, Nick, and sister, Mary, each of whom were four years apart in age. Dorothy attended English school at Fructova School and was proud that she went as far as three weeks in to grade five. She also attended Russian school and as most children of her generation, learned the Russian language through village life from her parents, grandparents, and elders. As a child as was the custom of the time, Dorothy was nurtured in the Doukhobor communal way of life where she worked alongside her parents and grandparents (who lived together in one home) in the gardens and fields, helped in the household with cooking and house work. She also learned how to spin, weave, sew and embroider, all skills that served her well in her later life. In her early teen years, Dorothy joined her sister and friends in attending evening youth meetings, choirs, walking into town to see a movie, swimming in the nearby Kettle River at the Carson Bridge and outdoor winter activities. When Dorothy was old enough she went to work in the fields and cannery in Grand Forks, and then spent several years working in the Okanagan in the fields, orchards and packing houses in the Osoyoos area, and a tomato cannery in Kelowna. In 1943, a young man, Peter Chernoff, from Verigin, Saskatchewan, moved to Grand Forks and eventually Peter and Dorothy would meet and a courtship began. They were married on December 21, 1947, and for the first couple of years lived with Peter’s parents in the Almond Gardens area until they were able to build their own home nearby, where they lived for 50 years. They had a small four acre hobby farm with milking cows, chickens, a large garden, small orchard and Dorothy’s favourites – flowers. She used to grow some of the most beautiful dahlias and gladiolas. Eventually a greenhouse and a root cellar to store vegetables for winter were added. Dorothy was happiest when she was working with the soil. Peter and Dorothy were blessed with three children, Steve, Fay, and Irene. She taught her children as she was taught in her youth to cook, clean, work in the garden and flowers, help with the harvest, feed the chickens, gather eggs, prepare food for winter, canning, needlework and sewing. Peter worked away from home sometimes during this time so Dorothy was left to look after the family, home and farm, but was eventually able herself to go to work in local vegetable fields and packing house, and finally McLeod’s Hardware Store. Dorothy was on the committee that was instrumental in outfitting the kitchen in the then new Grand Forks USCC Community Centre. She also served on the Ladies Organization committee and many years in the cooking groups, retiring only when she was no longer physically able. Besides growing a bountiful garden and beautiful flowers, Dorothy had a unique talent of painting Doukhobor shawls, including the one she was buried in. She was always on the lookout for the perfect greeting cards or pictures of flowers so that she could make patterns to present to her customers. Peter and Dorothy had the opportunity to travel both before and after retirement, on a cruise, Hawaii and Mexico, a bus trip to Reno, and across Canada where they were able to spend some time in New Brunswick and other points in the Maritimes with Peter’s cousin and family. After a good 50 years on the farm Peter and Dorothy sold it and built a new home in 1997, near Hutton Elementary School where Peter still resides. One of the greatest joys in Dorothy’s life was the arrival of her only grandchild, granddaughter, Sara, in 1980. Baba took great pleasure in spending as much time as she could with Sara and in doing things for her like making Cabbage Patch dolls and clothes and sewing tiny clothes for her Barbie dolls, (Deda even built a Barbie clothes closet complete with handmade tiny wire hangers), to watching her ski, piano recitals, school concerts, softball games and more. And her joys became even greater with the birth of her two great grandsons, Bryce in 2005, and Jaeden in 2006, and Sara’s family moving back to Grand Forks where Baba was able to see her great grandsons often. Dorothy had a lot of health challenges throughout her life with a lifelong back injury, to battling and beating cancer in the early 1980’s, where the cancer specialist called her ‘his miracle girl’; to a bus accident in 2006, which left her with injuries which worsened over the years. But her biggest challenge was the loss of her son, Steve, on February 15, 2014. After this her health began to decline even further and on January 9 of this year Dorothy went to live in Ivy House at Silver Kettle Village, where she received exceptional, loving care. Dorothy passed away peacefully on Friday, April 24, 2015, at the age of 84, with her family by her side. Dorothy was also predeceased by her parents, Sam and Tina Strukoff; her in-laws, Pete and Anne Chernoff; sisters in-law Annie Strukoff and Elizabeth Chernoff, brothers in-law, John Faminoff, George Semenoff, and Fred Chernoff; niece Natalie Soukoroff; brother Nick Strukoff; and just this past February, her sister Mary Soukoroff. Left to mourn her loss is her husband of 67 years, Peter; daughter Fay and John Malins, with their daughter Sara and Paul Findlater, and great grandsons Bryce and Jaeden, all of Grand Forks; daughter Irene and Jim Walker of Victoria and Jim’s daughters Kathleen and Douglas Murphy, and their three children, Paul, Justin and Amy of Winnipeg; and Eva and Gerry Teed of Fredericton; daughter in-law, Rita Chernoff of Sheho, Saskatchewan; in-laws Mabel Faminoff, Lynne Semenoff, Anne and Nick Negreiff; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives and friends. Dorothy’s family would like to express our sincerest thanks to everyone that attended the service at the Grand Forks USCC Community Centre on Tuesday, April 28, 2015; the psalmists and singers for your wonderful singing; to the relatives and friends who travelled from near and far to the service, to our relatives, friends and neighbours for your comforting words and thoughts, food, visits, cards and flowers. Thank you to JJ, Laura, Stephanie and Barry Verigin, for your kind, comforting words and support. Thank you to Jerry Seminoff for your guidance and support and for officiating the service. Thank you to the ladies cooking group for preparing the delicious lunch in memory of Dorothy, and to the grave diggers for preparing her final resting place at Sion Cemetery. We would also especially like to thank her doctor and all the staff at Ivy House for the exceptional, loving care that Dorothy received in her few months there. She was always given the utmost loving care, kindness and comfort. We wish to also extend our sincerest thanks to Deborah and Everett Baker and staff at Grand Forks Funeral Home for their professional service and assistance. We love you and miss you dear wife, mom, baba, and old baba, but we know you are in a better place with Steve and the rest of your family. May God accept your soul into His Heavenly Kingdom, and may you rest in peace.
