Grand Forks Gazette

City Council has decided to put their weight behind submitting an application for a federal legacy grant to renovate playground equipment. The decision was made during a special meeting of council on June 4. The legacy grant program is a program celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday by offering infrastructure grants to municipalities throughout the country. Projects suggested but not chosen were The Grand Forks Credit Union Rolling Loans team relayed hard and rocked even harder as they were the library basement renovations ($1.4 milto top fundraiser team during Saturday’s Relay for Life at City Park.

The playground renovations at City Park are in the 2015 financial plan for a cost of $45,000. The city will be applying for half that as per the guidelines of the Legacy grant. Several Rotarians were in attendance at the meeting. Lynne Burch, chair of the spray park committee, told council that the Rotary Club was against receiving the Legacy Grant since it would mean delaying the spray park unto come up with solutions for the CRAIG LINDSAY til 2016 due to the guidelines of the grant application process.

Darryl Drinkwater, a 22-year-old Greenwood man, was in the process of pulling his boat out of the water when he noticed his truck, which had slipped out of gear, starting to roll into the lake. Drinkwater jumped in the truck to try to stop it from going into the water but could not. He got stuck in the cab of the truck with its windows closed and its power windows not operating. Dave Jackson could hear someone yelling close to the boat launch. He jumped into the water; he had to come up for air a couple of times but finally got his feet against the door and pried it open to get Drinkwater out. Drinkwater was blue and unconscious when they took him out of the water, but has recovered fully. 2005 The Greenwood fire hall is currently a workplace for 10 young men and women who are participating in an employment program that focuses on the rich history of the Boundary area.

Tripp was one of several speakers who spoke to an estimated crowd of 100 on Friday at City Hall. (On May 27, council voted in favour of filing a petition to the Supreme Court asking for a declaration of disqualification against Butler for conflict of interest and breach of oath of office.)

She has already been to the farmers’ market where she was able to meet some people in the community. “I was there last Friday,” she said. “It was great. It was a little slow as the season is amping up. I talked to lots of people and got to learn their interests. It was lots of fun.” Anyone wishing to reach Todd can email grandforks@ wildsafebc.com or call 250-4427373.

Playground project makes community more appealing After hearing from staff on different options for a legacy grant application on Thursday at a special meeting, Grand Forks city council chose the playground equipment for City Park. The only other choice on the menu that was acceptable, meaning it was in the budget for 2015, was the Rotary Spray Park. But in order to be eligible for the legacy grant, the project would not be able to start until 2016. This would likely have made the spray park ineligible for other grants that also have deadlines and stringent guidelines. Both projects will benefit the city and create a “legacy” whether or not they received the federal legacy funding or not. Having new and safe playground equipment at City Park will be a great benefit to the community. Of course, the playground is right next to the spray park and both are sure to complement each other. These are the types of projects that can only help in bringing young families to the area as well as help retaining young families.

It was nice getting to know you, Jean Reckonings DELLA MALLETTE If you think that reading obituaries is morbid, then stop reading this column. But I hope you’ll read enough to think about why I do. I used to buy a Province newspaper each day. Shirley Larson and I would take our break to have a smoke and start our crossword puzzles in the back stairwell of the Gazette building. I’d take the paper home and many evenings, I would at least skim the obituaries. I quit smoking 10 years ago, the back stairwell is now boarded up, and I can no longer afford a Province every day. So I love it when a coffee shop or restaurant offers newspapers to read. I don’t care if they’re a few days old, even a week or

two. I read enough online news and emails through my job, that my choice of reading on my off time is an old-fashioned newspaper or book. And I still skim the obituaries. My husband brought a Province home recently so I had time to read the paper cover to cover. And there in the “Remembering” section was an obituary about a lady named Jean. I was taken aback, I have to admit a bit amused even, when I read in the very first paragraph that she had passed away suddenly in a White Spot restaurant. But then I read her notice of passing, as we here at the Gazette prefer to call obituaries. Jean had suffered through life-saving surgery as an infant; as a child, she survived another life-saving surgery for a different ailment. The notice of passing called her a “miracle baby.” She became an accomplished pianist, she excelled at art, she enjoyed badminton and volley-

ball. She went to university in the hopes of becoming an educator. Her dreams were altered, however, by a neurological disease and health complications that affected her previous abilities and talents. Jean persevered and carried on with her “new normal” by auditing university courses, painting, playing music and by all accounts leading a full life, very loved by her family. And she enjoyed eating out at the White Spot. I hope I’ve not disrespected the family by telling part of Jean’s story here, because it has a profound message. She overcame so much, she learned to deal with her “new normal,” and according to her notice of passing, “though her heart failed, she died with the purest, loveliest disposition that anyone could ever have.” If you see the message, then you know why I read obituaries. The families of the deceased put in these notices of passing

I’m reminded of a famous poem called simply “The Dash” by Linda Ellis. It tells of a man giving a eulogy, who reads out the deceased’s date of birth and death. And the man said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. “For it matters not how much we own; The cars, the house, the cash, What matters is how we live and love And how we spend our dash.” I learned that Jean spent her dash with bravery, perseverance and the determination to live life to the fullest she possibly could. I don’t know that I could have, were I in her shoes—but I do know now that should I be faced with adversity, hers is a message I will remember. I don’t reckon that’s morbid.

Opinion

to the editor

Higher authority needs to step in Editor, The Gazette: Residents of Grand Forks should be really concerned about what’s happening within city council. Five councilors are attacking Councilor Julia Butler for what they allege is a “conflict of interest.” She formerly operated a yard maintenance business, which she has now closed. How was that even a conflict in the first place? It wasn’t. Why are they doing this? • Councilor Butler was duly elected by a rather large proportion of the public vote, and therefore stands as a majority representative in council. She is doing her best to keep her election promises and supporting the majority of residents on issues despite a very difficult environment (present council) and should be lauded for doing so. • There are strange things going on at council that should concern everyone. For example: Councilor Wirishagin, before the last election, publicly proclaimed at a council meeting that he was against the water meter

program. Then after the election, surprisingly put forth a motion in council to complete the water meter program. He totally “about-faced” on the very issue that likely got him elected in the first place. Why is this? • There are elements of the previous council that just can’t seem to let go of the old power. Are they interested in getting back in power again, slavering to sidle up to the trough, perhaps at the expense of Julia Butler? • Doug Allin, CAO, was awarded a $192,000 severance by the previous administration when he was “let go,” which he was not asked to repay when he was rehired by the new administration. How can anyone justify council’s actions? • All the secret “in camera” council meetings of the current and previous administration are extremely suspicious. Why all the secrecy? What are they hiding? What is going on here? Is the previous council still pulling strings in the present council? One can only speculate. But

whatever is going on, it’s not good for Grand Forks. What is happening is that this town is being destroyed from the inside out. What is their agenda? This is no longer just about water meters. It’s time for the previous council to take a hint… you LOST the election. We voted you out, with reason, so please get the message. The actions from present council directed at Councilor Butler are inexcusable, and an embarrassment to the community. She has the integrity to stand up for the citizens of Grand Forks. Rather than have Julia leave council, it should be the soon-to-be “former five” that should be ejected from council under a dark cloud of suspicion, secrecy, and abuse of executive privilege. It’s time for a higher government authority like the attorney general to step in and thoroughly investigate the current and previous councils. Jack Koochin, Grand Forks

Support council and move on Editor, The Gazette: Enough already. A handful of loud negative voices in town have had their 15 seconds of fame. Surely, it is time to support city council and allow them to do their job. As for Julia Butler, all I know

is that the city council operates under a set of very strict rules. They voted to remove her from council. This is not a trivial action. I’m sure that council would have done a hundred other things if they had a choice. Without the specific details,

one thing is certain—Julia Butler’s behaviour left the rest of council feeling they had no choice but to begin the process to remove her from office. So, let’s move on. Mike Elliott, Grand Forks

Don’t leave your dog in a hot car

Editor, The Gazette: Maybe someone can explain to me why, when I approach someone to share my concerns regarding a dog left in a hot vehicle, they feel the need to become defensive and in some cases verbally abusive? Perhaps they don’t realize how quickly the inside of a vehicle can heat up and become life threatening. Research shows that

the temperature inside a vehicle can increase rapidly within a very short time. For example: if it’s 21C (70F) outside it can reach 38C (100F) inside the vehicle within minutes. Cracking a window makes no difference whatsoever and that so-called “quick trip” into a store

A mine in our midst

On two occasions this spring while on a walk along the trail adjacent to Riverside Drive, I have been asked by visitors what the black cliffs on the east side of the river at Barbara Ann Park are, what they are composed of and how they came to be. Their follow-up question is what is happening at the site today. Following each of these incidents I wondered why there is no signage at the park or along Granby Road where Rousing the largest smelter of its kind the Rabble in the British Empire once ROY RONAGHAN stood. Visitors will want to know that the slag piles are now an active mine site with a difference. The material being mined was deposited on the site as waste from a smelter located on the land now occupied by P&D Logging and Boundary Truss. At peak production, eight blast furnaces were operating in the building and the waste material was transported across the road from the smelter and dumped. For some time it was dumped in its molten form, but in the latter years of the smelter’s operation, the slag was treated with steam to granulate it before transporting it by conveyor belt to large cone-shaped piles. The story of the smelter is an interesting one. A couple of early pioneers, Jay Paul Graves and Steven Miner, saw a potential money maker and incorporated the Granby Mining, Smelting and Power Company in 1899 with the objective of building a smelter capable of making copper matte from the low-grade copper ore from Phoenix Mountain because it would not have been profitable to ship it out of the area for smelting. The smelter was built and its first furnace was “blown in” during the fall of 1900. When it was forced to close, the smelter had the distinction of being the largest nonferrous smelter in the British Empire. At the time a larger smelter operated in Montana. The ore from Phoenix was first moved from the mines to the smelter by wagons but it wasn’t long until a rail line had been built and trains entered from the northwest. The railway crossed the Granby River over the narrow gorge north of the city at the location of the dam that had been built to provide power for the smelter. Coking coal came from coal mines operated by the Crow’s Nest Pass Coal Company near Fernie. According to Jim and Alice Glanville, authors of a book called The Life and Times of Grand Forks, there were 400 men employed and the monthly payroll was $40,000. When the world price of copper plummeted in 1919 the smelter closed because it was no longer a profitable operation. There is no information about what happened to the building after its closure. The mining operation at the site today is a rather simple one. Pacific Abrasives and Supply Inc. uses a bulldozer and an excavator to extract the slag that is transferred to the cone shaped piles on site. The material is moved by truck to a site on Carson Road south of the city where it is prepared for shipment by rail to the United States. Much of the slag is shipped to California for use as an abrasive for cleaning the hulls of ships. It is also used in the manufacture of abrasive products. Slag is also a component of Roxul insulation. During the 19 years that the Granby smelter operated, it was a dominant industry in the region yet the slag pile is the only evidence that it ever existed and that evidence is slowly being removed. Is it not time to recognize that the Granby smelter played a dominant role in the economy of the area in the early 20th Century with the erection of an information kiosk near its original site and Barbara Ann Park.

Deer have not been culled

Editor, The Gazette: While the possibility of a deer cull remains a very real management option, there has been no cull. If a recommendation comes before council from the Deer Committee to proceed with a cull, the public will know about it. Does are fawning at this time of year (meaning that the females are giving birth to their young) and tend to seek out hiding places to do so. It is quite natural to see fewer around in late spring. Last November during the election, the following question appeared on the ballot: “Are you in support of a deer cull as a management option in Grand Forks?” Of the 1,484 persons who responded, 895 were in the affirmative. That represents 60.31 per cent of the respondents being in support and is a clear majority. As much as possible, we, as a committee, inform ourselves with facts and science to make rational decisions and to bring the best information and recommendations before council for their final deliberations and decisions. Our hope is that citizens will respect and appreciate our efforts regardless of which side of the issue they support. Gary Smith, Chairperson, Grand Forks Deer Committee

Woman struggles with end-stage kidney disease CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A young family is pleading for help from the community after a young mother was struck with kidney disease. Twenty-three-year-old Emanda Tetreault was diagnosed with end stage renal disease. Her kidney failure was first discovered when she was pregnant with her son, who ended up having to be delivered 10 weeks early. While the boy is healthy, Emanda ended up being admitted to the hospital after a series of different tests. “Finally, I was told I had end stage renal disease and that the only way I will live another week is if I start dialysis,” said Emanda. “I now have to do dialysis three times a week for four long hours just to stay alive.” Emanda and her husband and their two-year-old son were living in Edmonton when she was diagnosed. With her not able to work and her husband unable to

travel for work, money had become scare. “We just couldn’t keep up with the bills,” she said. “The only thing we could do was leave the life we had built up in Alberta and move back to my home town of Grand Forks.” Emanda says her husband is working odd jobs to pay some of the bills but she will need a side job as well. “I will eventually have to find a side job in between dialysis, raising my two-yearold son, and doing my motherly household duties,” she said. “Dialysis does a lot to your body; it’s a lot of up and down days. Most days you don’t feel your best.” With no cure for kidney failure, Emanda’s only option for treatment is a kidney transplant. “If everything goes well, my new kidney could last up to 20 years,” she said. “The hardest part of this is waiting to find a match, since I have no living donors. I am O+, which is very common and that means I could be looking at a seven-year

wait for a kidney.” She said there is a website called matchingdonors.com that links donors to people want to donate. “Most people on the site are matched with someone by six months to a year,” said Emanda. “Membership fees are pricey at $600. The whole process leading up

to a transplant is very expensive as well. We have lots of trips back and forth to Vancouver. Once I get my transplant in Vancouver I would have to find accommodation and money for food, cab rides, and so on. I would have to relocated there after the surgery for at least three months.” Although she has not found a donor kidney yet, she is hopeful. “All I want in life is to be able to play with my son again without feeling ill all the time,” she said. “I also want to be able to go back to school and help support my family. Just to live a normal life again and watch my son grow up and become the amazing man I know he is going to become.” She is hoping to organize some fundraisers such as a garage sale but she’s not sure how to go about it. “I personally have no idea how to do this but I think it would be a great idea,” said Emanda. “I don’t have any money for this but if someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome.” There is a Go Fund Me page for Emanda as well.

Business

Begg finds her niche CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A young Grand Forks mother has found a niche selling homemade bamboo apparel out of her yard. Kendra Begg started the business two years ago and has used social media to spread the message about her product, which she sells out of her shed. Begg actually operates two businesses: Xenja Wear, which is where she makes the clothes, and Love Bamboo, Love B.C., which is the home store where she sells the products. In addition to bamboo clothing, the store also sells honey from Kelowna, organic skin care from Lumby, Habby Jack’s hot sauce from Kelowna and more. “(I carry) lots of other vendors and B.C. artisans who make products,” she said. “I wholesale them or take them on commission and sell them at the store.” Begg started the store when she and her family moved to Grand Forks. She imports bamboo and makes all the clothing she sells herself. She also wholesale sells it in other stores. “The bamboo I use is called viscose bamboo,” she said. “It’s the inside pith of the stock that runs the water up and down the entire stock. They take that out and brush it out and spin it into a yarn like you would with wool or cotton.” Begg creates her own patterns and designs for her clothing in her home. “I make them for women who aren’t the perfect model—if that exists,” she said. “We get bombarded all the time in the media about this perfect body, the 32-24-32, size zero, body types that are unrealistic and, I think, unhealthy.” Begg said she creates clothing for the actual women who has perhaps had a baby and maybe has bigger hips or a bigger chest. Begg has operated Xenja Wear since lives here.

2010. She and her husband moved to Grand Forks in April 2014. She started selling her wares at the farmers’ market and also did pop-up stores at Serenity Spa in Christina Lake and Body Edge Fitness in Grand Forks. “Avalon Gardens and I then partnered up in December 2014 and did a pop-up store in the old Value Drug Mart at Christmas,” she said. Begg and her husband renovated the house they bought on Central Avenue and began selling products out of the shed as Love Bamboo Love BC in March of this year. In just a short time, the business has done very well. Begg has been able to bring on several people to help her. She has done her best to hire people who need a lift such as those on disability or income assistance to help them out. “I wanted to give people a chance to gain a skill set they wouldn’t otherwise get doing meaningful employment, not busy work,” she said. “I have people working for me that I’ve taught to cut patterns, how to do proper seams. I’ve even had people work sales, customer service and inventory control.” Begg said she has four subcontractors working for her since coming to Grand Forks. Recently, Begg met with a group of fellow mothers at Boundary Family and Individual Services Society (BFISS) to discuss being a mother and operating a business. “They asked me to come and discuss first of all why I would start my own business and what it’s like running my business while having children,” she said. “They also asked me to discuss my products and my business.” Begg said family dynamics and opportunities for women have changed in the last several years. “I talked about the ‘momprenuer’ era,”

she said. “It’s a lot of moms who are becoming entrepreneurs and starting a business.” Begg said the first couple of years of owning her own business was tough. “I had a lot of people telling me I couldn’t compete with the States,” she said. “I had people telling me that people in Grand Forks don’t spend money on things. I was told small businesses don’t do well here.” She started out in Grand Forks setting up at the farmer’s market. She found out quickly that people here do support a business selling quality products. “That was when I realized that if you have the right product and the right cus-

tomer service, people support you,” she said. Begg said the store is doing so well that she will be able to draw a wage herself for the first time in five years as well as pay for a full-time and a part-time employee. “I love it,” she said. “It’s allowed me to build roots in this community really quickly. I’ve gotten to know a lot of people I wouldn’t have gotten to know otherwise. I get to do what I love. I love to sew; I love to create.” Begg added that having her own business allows her the flexibility to work the hours and times she wants. She is able to take time off to spend with her children as much as she wants.

Munchies are marvelous! CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A new business has opened up in Grand Forks in the former West End Global Market and Deli location across from the Grand Forks Station Pub. Holly Hooper, who has operated a catering business for several years in town and works in the kitchen at the Station Pub, took the store over and has been making and selling fresh baked goods. Marvelous Munchies Bakeshop has been open for just over a week and business has been good. “I’ve cooked in different places around town,” she said. “A couple of years ago I did the farmers’ market. I was the Pastry Chef then, so a lot of my customers know me as the Pastry Chef.” Hooper really enjoyed selling her pastries at the farmers’ market and getting to know the customers. “I would love to see those people come up here,” she said. “I’m already starting to see a few of them.” The last couple of years she has worked as a line cook at the Station Pub. She, however, missed baking and jumped at the chance of opening her own bake shop. “I like to work for myself,” she said. “I have a passion to bake and I found in the cooking industry I didn’t get a chance to bake as much as I wanted. (I also saw an opportunity) to fill a niche in town because we don’t have a bake shop.” Hooper said she talked to several people around town who said Grand Forks needed a bake shop that served fresh baked goods. “I saw the opportunity and I took it,” she said. “I had a few things at home I could bring here and with Dean (Engen’s) help, I was able to open a bake shop and hopefully I’ll go forward with it with the support of the community.” Hooper makes all the baked goods herself from scratch. She also sells cold drinks, chai tea, regular tea, and fresh French-pressed coffee. “I’ve been doing white breads and brown breads,” she said. “I’ve been doing white herb, herb and cheese. In my browns I’ve been doing whole wheat, whole wheat sunflower and flax.” She also makes cookies, tarts and cinnamon buns. She bakes cakes and has several glutenfree baking options as well. “What I’ve been doing is making what I know sells,” said Hooper. “Someone will come in and

ask for cinnamon buns, so I’ll tell them what day I’m making cinnamon buns. Just until I get a feel for what the customers want.” Hooper also does catering for small groups and has made deli-style sandwiches in the past— something she hopes to expand on in the future. Hooper said business has been very good and she has been getting great feedback as well from customers. “I’m getting lots of support which is really nice,” she said. “I’ve had great days every day. I’ve been doing awesome. The rapport with customers has been great. They’re really glad I’m here.” Hooper said people in the neighbourhood are happy to have a store in which they can drop by for some treats and a hot or cold drink. “There’s nothing like this in this area,” she said. “They have all that kind of stuff downtown but not up here.” She was also fortunate to be able to walk into a location which already had a commercial kitchen set up. She is hoping to be able to build the business up and become big enough to hire staff and continue to grow. For now, though, she is content to be able to do what she loves. “I love baking,” said Hooper. “It makes me happy. I love watching the dough grow. (I love) making it and watching all the stuff come together; taking it out of the oven and then giving it to the customers and making them happy. Fulfilling the need to feed. It makes me feel calm. It de-stresses me.” Hooper has her official Red Seal cook certificate, which she got after attending Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) in Edmonton. She came to Grand Forks as a teenager and has worked a number of different jobs but her favourite has always been baking. She says that Grand Forks is a great place of live with lots of energy. “I really enjoy Grand Forks,” she said. “It’s a really good hub—two hours to Kelowna; two hours to Nelson. This place can be a happening little town as people start to move in. We’re starting to see some young families move in. I think the bakery will do well here.” The store is open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. except on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays when she closes at 2 p.m.

ity Park was the location of the 2015 Boundary Relay For Life held Saturday. The participants marched around the field as they remembered those lost and were thankful for those who have survived. There were plenty of events going on as well such as the Survivor’s Lap, the head shaving of reporter Craig Lindsay, great music from local acts such as Jonah Rocks, Mad Dog 20/20, Crows Nest and more The relay ended with the always touching Luminaries Ceremony. The top fundraising team was the Rolling Loans from Grand Forks Credit Union, who raised almost $3,700. The top fundraiser was Lindsay, who raised more than $900. In all there were 16 teams involved and 145 participants. The total raised at the relay so far $31,309.67 with more expected to come in. “It went well,” said organizer Jen Edwards. “We had good participation from our teams. I think we battled the weather because it was so hot, which is unusual for us. It was nice to have the beautiful weather but I think it was tough on people. It’s a long day and the heat made it longer. We did have some great enthusiasm from our teams.” Edwards said compared to the rest of the province, our community has a great participation rate and raised a great deal of revenue compared to other areas.

(Clockwise from above) Relay teams get into the spirit of the year’s theme by dressing up. A full slate of entertainment was scheduled, with Jonah Rocks one of the featured acts. The band’s namesake, 10-year-old Jonah (right) is the drummer; he’s accompanied by (from left) Tom Muskovich, Mike Northcott and Neil Semenoff. It wouldn’t be Relay without the Kootenay Robusters.

Teachers say goodbye Sandy Colclough Hutton Elementary School

I was originally hired here in 1977 to teach P.E. at the High School. I’m not entirely sure why I was hired as I was on crutches with a broken leg at the interview, but I was so excited that I was – a full time job in a beautiful little town when teaching jobs were few and far between! I was eventually given Science and Home Ec. as well at GFSS, and lots of coaching opportunities. Then I worked at Hutton Elementary School teaching mostly Grade 4/5 classes, until I was promoted to school librarian and Science teacher. This means I have the perfect job because I get to see everybody every day. Teaching has been challenging, exciting, and a lot of hard work. I will really miss that and I’m sad to go, but I have big plans for retirement. Our daughter, Erin, is expecting twins in the fall, and I hope to help the family. Also, we want to camp and kayak more, and enjoy our country home. Teaching here has been wonderful. I feel very, very lucky.

Still a good variety of healthy bedding plants, NEW BIG truckload of bark mulch.

Scared Silly...

Claire Naylor Hutton Elementary School

I’ve been teaching for 24 years including the last 22 in the area. The highlight for me is definitely seeing the moment of learning in a kid’s eyes and that recognition of how everything snaps together and becomes a whole concept. It has also been wonderful showing some kids who thinkg they can’t do it, that they can. I became a teacher after working as a special events coordinator in recreation, than as an editor for a small publication put out by the Langley school board. It seemed like a natural and more meaningful step to serve the whole individual not just a portion. I came to town with my husband when he came to check out a chiropractic practice. We never thought we would stay this long but it has been so welcoming and the people have been so wonderful we just had to settle down. We sometimes think about where in the world would be a better place but we always wind up feeling like this is Eden. My interests are my grandchildren! And all outdoor sports, pets, gardening and travel. I plan to spend more time with my grandchildren as well as going on cycling trips after retirement.

Randy Breedveld Hutton Elementary School

After university my wife and I moved from Vancouver to Grand Forks in 1992 because there were no teaching jobs at the coast. I have taught solely at Hutton elementary for the past 33 years. I’ve enjoyed the energy, creativity and amazing talent of the children I’ve taught and the staff I’ve worked with. Teaching elementary, I enjoyed the variety of activities I get to do as a teacher such as teaching French, math, K-7 music and drama, coaching basketball, learning new technology and so on. Some of my biggest highlights have been writing and directing school musicals such as Archie, Shoe Biz, Secret Agent Cop and more; Making a movie (Tom Sawyer) that we filmed around the Boundary; and taking a grade 7 flag football team to B.C. Place Stadium in 2004 and playing second in the provincial tournament; and having the opportunity to teach my two daughters and son at Hutton. My other interests include playing golf, hockey, slo-pitch and ping pong as well as singing with my wife at church and acting in local musicals such as Fiddler on the Roof and Music Man. I also enjoyed calling the play-by-play for the Border Bruins’ webcast. After retirement I plan to travel, golf in Scotland, visit our children and grandson, take theology courses, volunteer and follow the Canucks on a road trip.

Retiring from Grand Forks Secondary School this year are (from left): Bruce Penner – welding, mechanics and drafting teacher; Jan deHaan – law and visual arts teacher; and Curt Garrison – child and youth councillor and bike shop coordinator.

Grand Forks Gazette

Community Futures is more than just loans LAURIE JONES

Submitted to the Gazette

When Stu Dale needed some last minute financing to open the Grand Forks Station Pub 20 years ago, he turned to Community Futures Boundary for help. He was in the midst of renovating the former CPR station when he realized he needed more money to complete the project. “It was hard to get funding from banks and credit unions because of the type of business we were in,” he said. “They shied away from giving money to pubs and restaurants.” That’s when Community Futures stepped in with a loan to help finish the renovations. Founded in 1992, Community Futures Boundary is a non-profit, community-based organization that provides access to capital as well as business support to entrepreneurs like Stu who want to start or expand their business but and are having difficulty getting financing. Since its inception, Community Futures Boundary has grown its original loan fund of $1.5 million to $3.6 million—money that has been invested into local businesses throughout the region. They have loaned just over $12.88 million to more than 354 small businesses over the past 23 years, resulting in the creation and maintenance of more than 700 jobs. Those investments have helped leverage additional funds from other sources that have also been invested back into the local economy. “We were originally created to lend money to high risk businesses,” said Wendy McCulloch, general manager of Community Futures Boundary. “Our rates are a little higher, but we have very flexible repayment terms; people can pay off their loan at any time without any penalties. Sometimes, we can do projects with less security than conventional lenders. We can take chances that banks and credit unions can’t.” And that money isn’t just sitting in a

They helped the Grand Forks and Boundary Regional Agricultural Society access funds for the abattoir and then helped get it up and running.

bank. “It’s out in the community,” says Susan Green, Community Futures loans manager. “All the interest we collect goes back into the loan fund and gets reinvested in the community through other loans.” Community Futures offers loans up to $150,000 but is able to consider higher limits under special circumstances. In 2001, they introduced a micro loan program that makes it easier for people to borrow smaller amounts up to $10,000. “Micro loans are the heart and soul of Community Futures,” McCulloch said. “It’s truly about the people and the community.” So far, they’ve made 86 micro loans totaling $364,840—the smallest was for $475. The turnaround is quicker, Green said— days, not weeks—and clients get 25 per cent of the interest back when they pay their loans off on time. More than business loans Providing businesses with access to capital is a big part of what Community Futures does, but it’s not the only service they provide. “Businesses don’t grow in a vacuum,” McCulloch said. “If a community isn’t growing or moving forward, then it’s dying. Community Futures is the spark, the catalyst that gets things going.” Community Futures was established by the federal government to help communities deal with the effects of the recession in the 1980s; effects that continue to threaten B.C.’s rural communities as they grapple with high unemployment and a decline in the resource industry. The Boundary office is one of 34 Community Futures groups in British Columbia and one of 269 across Canada. Each organization is governed by a volunteer board of directors drawn from a cross section of the community. It’s that local knowledge that sets each Community Futures organization apart from the others, and that directs the types of activities Community Futures Boundary gets involved in.

History

Grand Forks Gazette

A boy’s evacuation memories Edward Yoshida recounts his life in Grand Forks

EDWARD YOSHIDA

For the Grand Forks Gazette

A bAfter February, 1942, the Japanese children in Steveston, B.C. were not attending school due to the Evacuation Order. Thus a gang of Japanese elementary school boys under a slightly older Takeshi became “semi-delinquent” by shoplifting, smoking as minors and peering up ladies’ skirts between the cracks of the boardwalk—plentiful around Steveston. Eddie Y. was one of them at the age of nine. While a “gang member,” he was caught with a cigarette pipe in his pocket. His “lickin” was so painful that he never smoked again. The Yoshidas were to depart Vancouver on the CPR Kettle Valley Line about the end of May, 1942. However, flooding over the Coquihalla Pass blocked any passage by rail to their destination. They had to wait till early June. Since their cannery house in Steveston was already vacated, the family spent more than a week at the Lion Hotel—operated by a Japanese family—on Powell St., in Vancouver. It was no fun for Yonekichi and his expense account, but his two older children had a great time enjoying the best of Chinese food at Shin Peking and other restaurants. Finally, the family arrived in Grand Forks, welcomed by the relatives who were already settled there.

Special to the Nikkei Voice; reprinted here with permission.

The town of Grand Forks began as a mining and smelting town in the late 1880s and early 1890s. Its rich soil attracted the Doukhobors from Russia between 1909 and 1913. (They were the pacifists who refused war and denied themselves any form of meat and were expelled from the larger, traditional Russian Orthodox Church. Their extremist branch, the Sons of Freedom, refused basic education of children, and burned bridges and schools while their women disrobed in protest when authorities intervened with their lifestyle). By 1900, Grand Forks could be proud of being called the site of the largest smelting company in the British Empire through its Granby Smelting Company. Even today mountains of slag (black, ugly and dirty) are a testament to her glory days. The population in 1941 was 1,259, a drop of three per cent from the previous census 10 years earlier. Its two mainstay “industries”: agriculture and logging. Evacuees to Grand Forks were largely sponsored and introduced by two Nikkei families already farming there: the Sugimotos and the Nakatanis. It was they who found agricultural landlord-employers for the evacuating family or friends from the coast. Take the example of the Shoichi Nishi family—three generations of them. He was originally a fisherman on the Skeena River. Through a mutual friend,

Genkichi Nishihama, he was introduced to Esumatsu Nakatani, who, in turn, recommended this family to the farmer-employer, Charlie Clarke of Grand Forks. Yosh Tonogai’s family lived in Woodfiber, B.C., across Howe Sound from Squamish. They were introduced to Mr. Markell on Carson Rd. by another Nikkei resident already living in Grand Forks. In this manner most of the 100 to 150 families that settled in Grand Forks made up the Nikkei community. Initially, they worked for their sponsoring farmers. Names like Neumetzeler, Pennoyers, Doan, Lawson and Megett are among those sponsoring farmers of that period. Towards the conclusion of the war, Nikkei evacuees were given more freedom to work for the CPR, the Sherbinin Sawmill in Midway and the Sandner Sawmill in Christina Lake, both outside the town. The Yoshidas’ first house was that rented from a Doukhobor in West Grand Forks, and located at the foot of a low mountain. There was no corridor to go from one room to another. Family members had to go outside first to enter a bedroom from the kitchen. The washroom was a pit toilet. Water had to be pumped. Imagine the labour to pump enough water for a Japanese bath! Walking to the nearest general store would take more than half an hour. Eddie still remembers the angst of steering his bike while carrying and tripping over a hole on the road as a kid.

THE YOSHIDA FAMILY

In Yonekichi’s first year as a farm hand and earning 22.5¢ per/hour, or $2 for a nine-hour labour, bologna was about the only kind of meat the family could afford. Compared to those living in tents or temporary shelters or internment camps, those who went to Grand Forks were much better off than those in camps with limited allowances. The second Doukhobour house rented by the Yoshidas was in the area of Grand Forks called Ruckle Addition, and was within the sound of the Grand Forks Sawmill. There was still no running water and the smelly pit toilet was always part of the property. At least the house was all enclosed, and one didn’t have to go outside in the freezing Grand Forks winter to visit the next room. Water was still pumped by hand. The owner was Bill Rezansoff, and he was quite tall. So were his wife and the three children. Eddie became a friend of their son, Peter, and he has been a friend ever since—all those years even after his family returned to Steveston in 1951.

This story is slated to be part of a collection entitled ‘Honouring Our People’ that is expected to be published this year. The book is being compiled by the Human Rights Committee of the National Association of Japanese Canadians.

Thank You

any thanks to the community of Grand Forks which served us proud this past weekend, welcoming over 200 cyclists into our gorgeous valley. A successful ride was completed once again as we raised enough money to send twenty kids to Pines camp this summer. I would like to thank specifically the USCC and their lovely ladies who welcomed us for dinner Saturday night. In addition, Kayla Sebastian at the Wooden Spoon who fed us all on Friday night. Many thanks to Sarah Winton at the City for providing us with support, GF Cycling Club, Chain Reaction, with special mention to Laura at Pharmasave and special thanks to Andrew McKinlay. I would also like to thank the Border Services on both the Canadian and the American side for expediting our passage, Pines Bible Camp for their support, and lastly, many thanks to the kind drivers around town for their patience with the bikes on the road. Signing off until next year,

Robert D. Sebastian, M.D., C.C.F.P. Robb’s Ride 2015

Rangers take the tie Pitcher Tieren Dolan of the Grand Forks Rangers U16 baseball team looks to throw to first base as Noor Sibat (middle) and Devin Anderson look on. The GF team ended up tying Castlegar 3-3 in the game, which took place June 3 at James Donaldson Park. “It was a good game,” said coach Noah Makortoff. “We had a shaky start down 5-0 in the first, but then we battled back to take the lead by two in the top of the ninth.”Makortoff said the team’s strong suit in the game was hitting. The Rangers are currently in third place in West Kootenay league standings. They wrap up league play this weekend with a double header at James Donaldson Park Saturday (June 13) against Nelson.

He is taking us down a path of goodness Let’s pursue godliness, being lead by the Holy Spirit

As most of us are aware, our mayor and council are under considerable pressure these days. They are facing pressure from within and from without. Recent media coverage has magnified that pressure, and while many of us are ready and willing to share our viewpoints, ideas, and opinions, few of us have ever had to walk the path that they walk right now. Few of us understand completely or even partially the pressure, the stress, and the challenges that are on the path they walk. It is noble and right to seek to understand. It is good to learn what is going on. It is right not to bury our heads in the sand. But I would caution our community not to be quick to judge, not to be quick to make pronouncements, and above all to watch our tongues and the

For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 1 Timothy 2:1-3 says, First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly

Notice of Passing In Memorium Call Darlainea at 250-442-219

John Charles Eek May 5, 1924 – May 26, 2015 John Charles “Johnny” Eek passed away on May 26, 2015, at his home in Rock Creek. His wife Margaret, with whom he had recently celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary, had just tucked him into bed and was by his side. A friend to all he met, Johnny is survived by his four children Susan (Al), Dale (Wendy), Duane (Joanne) and Donald (Shannon); his daughter-in-law Lynn; his sisters Kory, Ruth and Marg; 14 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren. He is predeceased by his sisters Carol and Dora and brother Arthur, his daughter-in-law Susan, and his grandson Scott. Johnny was born in Alberta on May 5, 1924. His family moved to B.C. soon after, and he lived in the Rock Creek area for 89 of his 91 years. He ranched, farmed, logged and sawmilled, proud to be a cowboy and proud to be country. He loved working with his horse and cattle – usually with a dog at his side – but he was always there to help a neighbour or volunteer in the community. He attended the United Church, was a leader of the Boundary “A” 4-H Club, and a member of the Elks, Farmers Institute, Medical Clinic and Kettle River Horse Club. He was made a Lifetime Member of the Rock Creek Fall Fair for his service to that organization since 1946. Though not one for much talking, Johnny greeted everyone with a warm smile and friendly manner. He was also known for his sly sense of humour. After retiring, he wrote cowboy poetry, full of funny observations and stories about the things he’d seen and people he knew. He shared his poems at the Fall Fair and Cowboy Campfires, and festivals as far away as Cedar City, Utah. In 2004, the Kettle River Writers Cauldron published a book of his poems, Cowboy Poetry and Wisdom from Boundary Country. He and Margaret were square dancers for over 50 years, and he played fiddle, banjo, guitar and harmonica. He would often pick up an instrument to add music to a gathering or to “jam” with friends. In 2005 he got to visit the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville during a family trip to Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia, and a ticket mixup resulted in getting a backstage tour of the Opry and meeting Porter Wagoner, one of his country music idols. He even got to play a few notes on the Ryman stage. It was a highlight of a life happily spent at the home and farm he built with his sweetheart beside the Kettle River. To his family, he was Grandpa, warm and patient, who had a special affection for the “little fellers” and who doled out sweets along with nuggets of his particular brand of “horse sense” wisdom. A memorial service for Johnny Eek will be held at the Rock Creek Fairgrounds on Saturday, June 20, 2015, at 2 p.m. All are welcome. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the charity of your choice. Condolences and tributes may be directed to the family by visiting www.nunes-pottinger.com. Arrangements entrusted to Nunes-Pottinger Funeral Service & Crematorium, Oliver & Osoyoos.

and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour. Before we pronounce our judgments, I would hope that we have thoroughly prayed through, making supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings while being subject to authority. My hope is that we would withhold judgment and allow God to work. He does know what He is doing. He knows the truth of every matter. He is a just God. Let’s not be a community that gets involved in gossip, slander and other non-profitable uses of time. Let’s pursue godliness, being led by the Holy Spirit, because we know that He is taking us down a path of holiness, righteousness, and goodness.

The Grand Forks Gazette would like to apologize for missing a name from last week’s thank you notification.

Thank You The family of Jack Makortoff would like to thank all those who attended the service, especially those relatives and friends who travelled from afar. Our thanks to the psalmists and singers for their wonderful singing; to our relatives and friends who phoned or emailed their condolences, brought food, flowers, cards and comforting words. Special thanks to Jerry Semenoff for officiating, Bill and Liz Pepin, and Walter and Nina Hoodikoff for their assistance and support. Thank you to the ladies cooking group for preparing a wonderful lunch in memory of Jack. We would also like to thank the Grand Forks Ambulance Paramedics and Fire Rescue; doctors and staff at Grand Forks Boundary Hospital and Trail Regional Hospital as well as the Boundary Home Support for all their assistance. And thank you to Everett and Deborah Baker and staff of the Grand Forks Funeral Home for their guidance and professional services. Thank you all for your love and support. – The Makortoff Family –

Jack Mikhailovich Makortoff May 18, 1960 – May 19, 2015 Jack was born May 18, 1960 to Doukhobor parents Mike and Pauline Makortoff and was a lifelong member of the USCC. Jack was a very giving and loving individual with strong ties to his family. He most loved gardening and had an organic farm on the family’s land, growing organic vegetables and was known as the tomato king! In the last nine years his health deteriorated and forced him to step back from physical work. On May 18, 2015 they day of his 55th birthday, he was rushed to the hospital after a battle with pneumonia. He was transferred to Trail Hospital were on the evening of May 19, he peacefully passed away with his family by his side. He was predeceased by his father Mike Makortoff in 2000, as well as grandparents and other extended family. he leaves behind his mother Pauline Makortoff, brothers Michael, Dmitri and Yuri – nieces Amy, Trina, Kalyeena and Chelsea – great nieces Alanna, Taya, Rowan and great nephew Aden – as well as many other relatives and friends. He will be deeply missed and remembered by all who knew him. May God accept his soul into his Heavenly Kingdom and may he rest in peace. A celebration of Jack’s life was held on Monday, May 25 in Grand Forks, B.C. at the USCC.
