Lawrence according to a press release sent out yesterday (Tuesday) by CUPE. All 32 Grand Forks municipal workers were on hand for the meeting holding up signs which read “Grand Forks city workers want a workplace built on RESPECT…not on recriminations and revenge — A message from CUPE 4728.” Council did not bring up the

stafﬁng or cutbacks during the meeting. This reporter asked during question period but was told that questions had to be about items on the agenda. In the union’s press release, Lawrence said, “Eliminating the positions without layoff and recall rights contravenes the collective agreement between the city and its unionized workers. We believe

the cuts may have more to do with the poisoned workplace at the City of Grand Forks than with ﬁnancial considerations.” Lawrence had spoken directly to the Gazette after the meeting and said the union members received a letter on Friday stating that three positions would be cut, although no names were mentioned.

Respect. That was the bolded wording on the signs held up by about 15 people at a packed council meeting on Monday at City Hall. The protesters were upset that the city is cutting three full-time union positions. The city released a press release • See CITY CUTBACKS page A12 on Sept. 10 saying, “The City of Grand Forks recognized the organization was facing very real financial challenges and has since made a commitment to asset management that will help put the city in a sustainable financial position.” The release announced eight steps towards achieving financial sustainability including: 1. Reducation in some levels of service; 2. Reduction of FTE’s (full-time equivalent positions/ jobs); 3. Increase in revenues i.e. moderate tax increase; and increases (moderate) in electrical, water and sewer rates. The FTEs have turned out to be three full-time CUPE positions in the city possibly including the local union (CUPE Grand Forks city council chambers were packed on Monday for the regular meeting with municipal workers holding signs calling 4728) president Sukie for respect in the work place. The signs refer to the announcement that three full-time positions at the city may be cut. Craig Lindsay photo

On Sunday, Sept. 6 at 8:17 p.m., Grand Forks RCMP received a call that a pizza delivery person was approached by two males with a gun and robbed of his vehicle and cash. The victim of the robbery was not injured. At 8:45 p.m. a member of the Trail and Greater District RCMP encountered the 2004 Pontiac Sunﬁre on Highway 3B heading toward Rossland, reported Sgt. Darren Oelke of the Trail detachment. When the police attempted to stop the vehicle, it ﬂed at a high rate of speed, lost control on a corner and struck a rock wall. The stolen vehicle

was demolished in the accident. One male was arrested at the scene of the accident and the second male was arrested after a brief track by a police dog. Neither suspect were severely injured. A loaded firearm was recovered from the vehicle. Rylee Andrew Shipley, 18, of Nova Scotia and Collton Emery Knowles, 19, of Alberta have been charged with robbery with a firearm, possession of stolen property, possession of a prohibited firearm, flight from police and other firearms related charges, Oelke confirmed. Both made a first appearance in Rossland Provincial Court last week. Connection to a similar robbery in the B.C. interior is also being investigated.

He had no intention of leaving the country, he added. 1940 Noella Gauthier, born in Grand Forks 25 years ago when her father was employed at the smelter, has recently won high recognition as an artist. She is a niece of Mrs. Wm. Flynn and her paint-

Cops ride for kids CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

More than 20 riders and support crew came into Grand Forks on Saturday with the Cops For Kids ride. The riders started in Kelowna on Friday and went up the Anarchist Pass by Osoyoos Saturday on their way to Grand Forks. The group had dinner at the Omega Restaurant on Saturday night before spending the night at the Ramada in Grand Forks. The group was up early and had breakfast at the Ramada before heading off to Castlegar and Nelson. The ride raises awareness and essential funds for children in medical, physical or traumatic crisis. “Our riders join us from across the region,

and they’ve each raised a minimum of $2,000 through various fundraising efforts in their own community,” said Julio Krenz, ride captain. “During the ride, local community groups, restuarnats and hotels generously extend their hospitality to our team. Saving on these costs allows us to put all of our efforts towards the children. We are very honoured to be welcomed into each community with such open arms.” The event is in its 15th year and has raised over $3.1 million through the event. With requests from families on the rise, they’re working even harder to support the children who need it most. Funds from the event support request for medical equipment, transportation to children’s hospital, specialized therapies and learning and mobility aids.

Photographer Mark Windsor has found many bears to capture through the lens this year; he’s nicknamed this Granby area bear “Smiley.” Yes, the bear seems friendly but don’t approach any bear with anything but a camera with a VERY good zoom lens. Mark S. Windsor photo

Account set up for Harris children CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A gofundme account has been set up for the children of Susan Sunray Harris. Susan passed away on Sept. 1 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. She was an avid volunteer with the GFI and other events and recently joined Grand Forks Fire/Rescue as a volunteer firefighter. A former man-

ager at CIBC in Grand Forks and Roxul employee, she left behind Amanda, 19, and Mitchell Harris, 17. The Harris kids were left extremely unprepared both emotionally and financially with expensive mortgage payments, utility bills and groceries among other expenses. To help please go to Susan Sunray Harris’ Memorial Fund at gofundme.com/ym43t2mb.

SUSAN SUNRAY HARRIS

With hibernation season fast approaching, there has been an enormous increase in bear sightings throughout Grand Forks over the past weeks. Bears are currently in a state of hyperphagia, a period of increased caloric intake to prepare for hibernation. In their efforts to consume up to 20,000 calories per day, bears will be in relentless pursuit of all things edible. Fruit trees are currently the main attractant drawing bears into populated areas; if there is fruit in trees or on the ground, bears will use their incredible sense of smell to locate it and will return to the food source until it has been exhausted. As bears become habituated to human food sources through access to fruit trees, garbage, barbecues, or bird feeders, they often become less wary of humans overall. If their behaviour escalates to become a safety concern for people, pets, or property, the Conservation Officer Service will be notified to manage the animal in question. Relocation of problem bears has proven to be an ineffective manage-

ment tool. After an expensive and highly stressful move, a bear will most often travel tens or even hundreds of kilometres to return from where it was taken, or it will starve when it is unable to locate food in unfamiliar territory. As a result, when a bear becomes a safety concern it is most often destroyed. To avoid the destruction of bears, we must be mindful of human behaviour. If attractants are managed properly, bears will have no reason to remain in the community and will move on in search of food. Please remove all fruit and other food sources from your yard, and secure garbage until the day of collection. Thank you for doing your part to keep wildlife wild and our community safe. If you or anyone you know needs advice or help removing fruit from trees, please follow WildSafeBC Grand Forks on Facebook or contact me at 25-442-7373 or at grandforks@ wildsafebc.com. Wildlife sightings can be reported to the RAPP line at 1-877-952-7277. Thank you to our sponsors, the City of Grand Forks, the Ministry of Environment and the B.C. Conservation Foundation.

Honour a volunteer

It’s hard to imagine doing 50 years of anything. But when you enjoy what you are doing the time goes fast. For Joyce Muffly, who was honoured on Saturday for 50 years with the Girl Guides, it was a chance to help mold young girls. Joyce held many roles, from music teacher to sleepover superviser to district treasurer. She was adored by all the girls who loved hearing her many stories. There are many out there like Joyce who volunteer their time to make the community a better place. Whether it is the Guides or cadet leaders, or local sports coaches, or people who join the many boards or other groups in town, all are important. If you get a chance be sure to thank the volunteers that you see for all the work they do without expecting anything in return. To honour volunteers, the City of Grand Forks will be presenting a certificate of merit to selected volunteers at the Community Futures Small Business Awards on Oct. 15 at the Grand Forks Curling Rink. Nominations are still open and are available at City Hall or on the city website at grandforks.ca. Nominations are accepted at City Hall or by email to info@grandforks.ca until Oct. 5 at 4 p.m.

Reckonings DELLA MALLETTE Poorly written headlines have long been the butt of jokes by comedians the world over—but not all headlines that become the news themselves were poorly written. Some were intentional and have become the stuff of pop-culture legend. “Headlines body found in topless bar” ran on the New York Post front page on April 15, 1983. Vincent A. Musetto is the author of that headline and according to a Post story following his death this summer, he had to fight to get the headline into the paper. It was an appalling crime. A psycho had invaded a Queens after-hours joint, shot the owner to death and then—on learning a female customer was a mortician—ordered her to cut off the victim’s head, which cops later found in the madman’s car.

Musetto, a managing editor, argued with then-executive editor Roger Wood that the headline “expressed with unflinching precision the city’s accelerating tailspin into an abyss of atrocious crime and chaos.” Here’s a few other “inappropriate” headlines I found trolling the Internet. Intentional or not? Who knows. Considered an all-time classic from the L.A. Times ca. 1968-70: “High Court Rules on Marijuana.” Or, “Missippi’s literacy program shows improvement.” And, “Republicans turned off by size of Obama’s package.” “Man accused of killing lawyer receives a new attorney.” I don’t know if that was intentional but I do figure lawyers weren’t lining up for the job. And a B.C. headline: “Nudists fight erection of towers near Wreck Beach.” “Chick accuses some of her male colleagues of sexism.” Certainly an eye-catching headline; I’m sure readers were almost disappointed to read that LAURA

CHICK was making accusations. “City unsure why the sewer smells.” “Slowdown continues to accelerate.” “Miracle cure kills fifth patient.” Now this one I know for sure is unintentional. When laying up the paper, the person importing the stories will make room for a headline, and if none immediately comes to mind, will put in some words to set the space: “Think of a headline, 56 pt bold headline.” I’ve learned to simply type a “g” to set the maximum space, so if that’s a Gazette headline, you know now what’s happened! Headlines are definitely written completely for effect, to dramatize, to virtually dare you not to read the story. “How Beethoven ruined classical music.” This headline sounds like it came from the National Enquirer, but in fact, it came from a magazine called Mental Floss. Of course I had to read the story! But I regularly read this

THE FINE PRINT The Gazette reserves the right to refuse any advertising. The Gazette shall not be responsible for any damage arising from error in any advertisement, beyond the cost of space occupied by the alleged error. In the event of an error, that portion of the advertising space occupied by the erroneous item, together with reasonable allowance for signature, will not be charged for and shall be printed once – the advertiser should alert The Gazette of the error as quickly as possible.

magazine and know this headline is exactly what the story is about. “Thumbing his nose at authority and whipping crowds into a frenzy, he changed music forever,” reads the subtitle. So he did in effect “ruin” classical music of the day and reshaped the course of the genre. Seriously, a good headline is extremely hard to write. The writer needs to grab the reader’s attention—sometimes with only a few words. Add to that the fact that a headline should be a phrase, not a title. Action needs to be implied. I admit that sometimes with a “stand-alone photo” I give up and use a title. (A stand-alone photo means there’s no story, just a caption—known in the newspaper business as a cutline). I hope you give headlines a bit of thought, because I reckon they’re what I struggle with most—all on the pressure of deadline. I just hope I don’t find one of my headlines on the Tonight Show or Late Night.

Letters

Opinion

to the editor

Thanks for stress, anxiety Editor, The Gazette: Despite lots of indicators of residents being worried, scared or livid about the water meters and their RF radiation, city council has decided to go ahead with the water meter program. I know one elderly lady who is really scared about having one of these meters put in her. But what can she do? Council has bullied everyone into this program, with threats of what was it, $2,500 or $3,000 for a pit meter if they don’t get a “free” one installed in the home? Who can afford the fines? Her health is already compromised. Anything could tip the scales and make it worse. Just the stress and worry of having one of these RF radiation machines in the house will make things worse, never mind the possible effects of the radiation. The meters are installed sometimes right in rooms where people are actively living, or sometimes in the basement just several feet below where the people

sleep. Way, way too close for comfort. There should be a provision by council to allow those with compromised health to opt out of this program. To do otherwise would be cruel. She would be better off with a pit meter, but the city would charge her for that. Who can afford $2,500 or $3,000? There are many suspected links between RF radiation and cancer, brain tumors, etc. This abomination has been forced on us, despite better ways to save water. Did they really consider all the options, or just make it look like they did? Previous council, thanks a lot for the extra stress and anxiety in our lives, and for the potential harm to us from the RF radiation. You will always be remembered for what you did to our town, and not in a kind way. This will always be on your conscience, if you have one. Cecil Konkin, Grand Forks

RF radiation worrisome Editor, The Gazette: City council, I have a very serious health condition. I’m in and out of the hospital constantly. I’m really worried about putting one of those RF radiation water meters in my home. It would have to be installed right in a room where I spend a lot of time, and close by right below where we sleep. This is not good. Could we get a medical waiver if you would call it that, allowing us to not get an RF meter? My health is no good, and the meter would do me no good at all. It may make things much worse. The

worry isn’t going to help either. There are pit meters that can be installed, but we can’t afford the $3,000 of whatever you would charge. It’s not fair to charge us money for this thing, no way. We have a very serious problem here that you are maybe making worse. You are bullying us into this. It should be up to the city to allow those with issues or problems to get some sort of waiver, so they aren’t in increased danger from these meters. Don Lea, Grand Forks

Say no to national park Editor, The Gazette: The province of B.C. is again reviewing the possibility of a national park in the South Okanagan. They are asking residents to comment on the proposal. If our provincial government ap-

proves the South Okanagan National Park Reserve, the following will happen: • Parks Canada now has full control and local input will be ignored. Ask those who live in Banff or Jasper.

Bending plain language Are the very people we elected to represent us at all levels of government deceiving us? The answer to the question will vary depending upon who is responding, but an opinion piece by Andrew Nikoforuk in The Tyee online newspaper Rousing gives us a glimpse of what has occurred in Canada during the past decade. It has the title, “Harper’s the Rabble Newspeak—He loves naming laws with false sloROY RONAGHAN gans. (So do fascists.)” Newspeak is a fictional form of language (speech or writing) that uses words in a way that changes their meaning especially to persuade people to think a certain way. It can effectively suppress free thought. Nikoforuk refers to an essay written in 1995 by Umberto Eco, an Italian essayist, philosopher, literary critic and novelist and published in the New York Review of Books. Eco grew up in Italy during the fascist rule of Benito Mussolini and his National Fascist Party. Mussolini was prime minister from 1922 until he was ousted in 1943. Newspeak is not restricted to governments. Modern institutions and political parties use it to some degree.Nikoforuk mentions a notorious university (not named) whose library guide refers to the rich as “people of material wealth,” obese individuals as “people of size,” poor people as individuals who “lack the advantages that others have,” and old people as individuals of “advanced age.” In Canada at the federal government level a budget is an “economic action plan” and bitumen mines and pipelines are “Responsible Resource Development.” Stephen Harper’s and his government have become more than adept at newspeak particularly with the titles of legislation that have no resemblance to their substance. Nikoforuk picked several. Bill C-30 was named “Protecting Children From Internet Predators Act.” The bill does not mention children or predators by name but did approve of government Internet surveillance of Canadian citizens. Bill C-377 was given the title “Union Transparency Bill” yet it had nothing to do with union transparency. It was designed to control the functioning of unions with red tape. Human smuggling was addressed with a bill called “Preventing Human Smugglers from Abusing Canada’s Immigration Systems Act.” Bill C-38, an omnibus bill that replaced or amended 70 laws, included 10 significant environmental laws. It was called the “Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act.” Green Party leader, Elizabeth May called the bill “The Environmental Destruction Act.” The Fair Elections Act, Bill C-23, promised that Elections Canada would have “sharper teeth, longer reach and a freer hand,” according to Pierre Poilievre, the minister responsible for democratic reform. In effect the bill muzzled Elections Canada by preventing it from talking about such things as voter turnout and robocalls. Under the bill, the Conservative party has funding advantages, and the bill has become known as “The Unfair Elections Act.” Bill C-51, a highly contentious bill, is called the “Anti-Terrorism Act.” It was another omnibus bill that gave the government greater power to spy on Canadians. Even peaceful protesters of major industrial projects like the Kinder-Morgan pipeline were treated as thought they were terrorists. Protesters at the Site C dam project are also under close surveillance for similar reasons. In an essay written in 2012 Allan Gregg, a former pollster for the Conservatives stated, “The thing that is disconcerting and unsettling about all this is not just the substance of these bills, but why a government would want to disguise that substance.” Gregg also stated, “For the rule of law to work, the public must have respect for the law. By obfuscating the true purpose of laws under the gobbledygook of double speak, governments are admitting that their intentions probably lack both support and respect.” The fascists who ruled Italy were well known for their black shirts and staged rallies but Eco believed they could also be found in plain clothes and that’s what Nikoforuk thinks has happened in Canada. Does the knowledge of what is going on change anyone’s opinion of the way governments communicate with Canadians? One would hope so.

Schools face new curriculum Implementation at the K-9 level begins next year CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Teachers and administrators have one year to get used to a new school curriculum before implementation at the K-9 level begins next year. At the school board’s first meeting of the new year on Sept. 6, the board discussed the new curriculum that the Ministry of Education is putting in starting next year for grades K-9 and the following year (2017-18) for grades 10-12. This year is expecting to be a trial year for the district for the new curriculum. “It’s been in draft for two years,” said Kevin Argue, School District 51 (SD51) superintendent. “It’s been out for people to see and play with a little bit. There was a lot of opportunity for feedback. Teachers have been involved with constructing the curriculum.” As of September 2016, the K-9 curriculum will be in implementation phase, said Argue. “So then it won’t be draft anymore it’ll be expected that teachers have moved to the new curriculum for next September. The new curriculum for 10-12 will be implemented in September 2017. It has just come out in draft for in the last week or so.” Argue said the new curriculum has less specific learning outcomes such as you must cover this or that and a great focus on what’s called compe-

tencies. “They’ve structured it around core competencies and big ideas,” he said. “The core competencies for all subjects are communication, thinking and personal and social skills. Those are in every subject. Then you have big ideas… which are an overriding theme that runs through the whole curriculum.” He said there are also curricular competencies to actual content, which are more specific. Teresa Rezansoff, SD51 board chair, said that teachers are able to see the new curriculum now. “Right now, the K-9 curriculum is out there,” she said. “It’s actually been out there for the last year so teachers could get in and play with it if they wanted to. But this is a transition year—there it is ready to be played with for the schools and teachers to be able to do in-service to look at it and get a strong sense of it if they choose.” The new curriculum for 1012 is still in draft form and is essentially a year behind. “For now they will be getting feedback into it,” said Rezansoff. Rezansoff said the new curriculum allows teachers much more freedom to determine what to focus on and how much time to spend on each topic. “We need to develop curriculum that will be responsive and flexible and adaptable to the needs of our students which

Say no to park • First Nations will be given management control of this park as they have in other national parks. If that happens they will be allowed special access to the park that non-First Nations people will not have. This a current proposal by First Nations: “The areas dedicated to the national park would be managed in partnership with the Sylix People under a consensus-based cooperative stewardship regime (similar to the successful model used in Gwaii Haanas), including the use of traditional ecological knowledge to meaningfully inform and guide park management and decisionmaking.” Both the federal government and First Nations have now gained full control of our parklands, which means our local wants and needs are irrelevant. The province has given away our park and we will never get it back. Our parks currently provide protection and management of the wildlife and wilderness areas while restricting commercial development. The pro-

are changing much faster than say when I was a student,” she said. Norm Sabourin, Boundary District Teachers’ Association president, said that he hopes teachers will not be expected to spent their own time learning and training on the new curriculum. “With the new curriculum— on the surface there looks like lots of positives,” said Sabourin. “Teachers were involved in creating the new curriculum; so, it’s going in the right direction. The problem we’re worried about again is support and funding for teachers to be trained to use the new curriculum. They will absolutely figure it out if they have to. But, again, it adds to the burden.” Sabourin said the teachers are looking for help from the Ministry of Education through the district to help them effectively learn the new curriculum. “They shouldn’t expect teachers to do it on their own time; in their evenings and weekends on top of all of the prep, all the marking and other headaches they have,” he said. “Every time the ministry adds another layer it’s just more weight on the shoulders and teachers bog down. Somehow teachers get it done but we’re seeing more and more health problems.” Sabourin said all the extra stress and burden can lead to health problems down the road for many teachers.

vincial parks are well managed and most local stakeholders are satisfied. We are on a very slippery slope, which may allow Parks Canada, First Nations and other special interest groups to control our public lands. With few exceptions, wildlife and wilderness in the South Okanagan are not endangered but our control of this beautiful part of the world is in serious danger. Our lifestyle is slipping away. Interference by the federal government and special interest groups are not in our best interests. Remember, the federal government is big enough to give you a national park and strong enough to ignore your advice. We hope the province of B.C. will listen to our concerns, keep our provincial parks intact, and make them work for everyone. Time is getting very short but we still have time to write letters asking provincial officials not to reopen negotiations with Parks Canada. It’s time for the silent majority to speak up and say we are

happy with how our lands and wildlife are now protected and a federal park is not required. Numbers count with politicians and the proponents have written many letters in favour of a national park. This is why they are reconsidering their options with Park Canada. Those of us who do not believe a national park is a good idea thought the battle had been wwon when the province ended negotiations with Parks Canada but the war drums are beating again. Those of us who speak up run the world. It only takes a few minutes to write provincial representatives. You can reach MLA Linda Larson at Box 998, Oliver, B.C. V0H 1T0 (email Linda.

School staff prepare for new information system CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Staff at School District 51 (and throughout the province) are preparing for a new student information system called MyEducationBC (MyEdBC). Starting this year, MyEdBC has replaced the previous system known as BCESIS. “It’s completely widespread across the province,” said Kevin Argue, School District 51 (SD51) superintendent. “All schools are now using it. It’s called a common information system. It’s how we organize all the student information in the schools. It’s how we do attendance on a daily basis; it’s how we prepare report cards.” Argue said staff has been training on using the new system. “Shaun Lockhart (principal at Christina Lake Elementary School) is our lead on this,” said Argue. “He has done training

with all secretaries, councillors and, at this time, all high school teachers on attendance processes. In the coming weeks we’ll have training with our elementary teachers on report card modules and our high school teachers on mark systems and report cards as well.” Argue said the training has gone well and everyone is very happy with the program. “Its functionality in terms of speed has had some bugs,” he said. “They’re looking at it to ﬁgure out why it’s slowing down so it can become more efﬁcient and effective.” Argue said that a couple of weeks ago during training the system was very fast but now that school is back and everyone is logged on, it is slowing right down. “Now that the whole province is on it it’s got some speed issues,” he said. “They’re looking into it.”

Teresa Rezansoff, SD51 board chair, said they are impressed for what they have heard about the new MyEdBC system. “We’re phasing it in,” said Rezansoff. “There will be some getting used to the system. I haven’t heard a lot of bad stuff about it like we did with BCESIS.” Rezansoff said MyEdBC will much more interactive for parents. “Parents will be very happy to be able to have the access they’ll have to see things that are going on with their child (at school),” she said. “Parents will have their own portal they can access. It’s meant to deliver a lot of stuff. But they’re being careful with how they deliver it. They don’t want to promise too much at once but the capacity is supposed to be much greater and more in keeping with what we’re trying to do with our education system than BCESIS was.”

Norm Sabourin, Boundary District Teachers’ Association president, said he is concerned with the amount of extra workload that teachers will have to face in order to adapt to the new system. “The old system, when it came in caused a large number of headaches with secretaries, administrators and teachers especially,” said Sabourin. “It’ll (MyEdBC) come with a new report card format; it’ll have glitches.” Sabourin said there were plenty of glitches when the previous system, BCESIS, started out. “What happened with the old system is that teachers had to log online to do their reports on the system,” he said. “When you’ve got 40,000 teachers across the province all logging on in the same week, the system crashes. That was the old system. We’re crossing our ﬁngers that that doesn’t happen again.”

Sabourin said that he expects the system will take some time and training to get teachers and other staff up to par. “The fact that it’s a new format, so just accessing the program itself—it’s new, it’s different—if there isn’t proper training time given it will cause a lot of grief and a lot of stress and a ton of time that teachers can’t afford to give up when they’re simply trying to teach,” he said. “So there are worries about that. Time and support is crucial.” Sabourin said that they are worried that it will be handed over to teachers to “ﬁgure out” on their own. “That would be so unfair considering all the other responsibilities that teachers have,” he said. “We feel incumbent upon the district to provide actual training time and resources not simply rely on teachers to volunteer more and more of their time.”

Daily Physical Activity for Children Physical activity is good for your child’s health now and in the future. Beneﬁts of physical activity include: strong bones and muscles, healthy heart, lungs and arteries, improved coordination, balance, posture and ﬂexibility, maintaining a healthy weight, reduced risk of chronic disease such as heart disease, cancer and type-2 diabetes and later in life improved learning and attention.

Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines Canadian guidelines recommend that children aged: 0 - 1 years should be active several times throughout the day, such as floor play 1 - 4 years should be physically active for at least 180 minutes each day, with activity spread across the day 5 - 17 years should accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day. Moderate-intensity physical activity – should be able to walk and talk, but not sing all that well; would be about a 5 or 6 on a scale of 10. Vigorous-intensity physical activity – should not be able to carry on a conversation, should be huffing and puffing and breaking a sweat; would be about a 7 or 8 on a scale of 10.

Physical activity isn’t necessarily ‘exercise’. Your child doesn’t have to play an organized sport or do push-ups to beneﬁt. Opportunities for free outdoor play are just as important and valuable. It does help, though, if you make daily plans for when and where your child can be active. www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca Success By 6 supports parents and communities in creating healthy, nurturing environments for our youngest children, so that by age 6, they are physically, socially, and emotionally ready to succeed in school.

Thank You A note of gratitude, admiration, and respect. The Board of Education for School District 51 would like to express our deepest thanks to all those involved in the incredible work that was done to support our citizens, visitors and communities during the recent fire events. Local governments and their staffs, regional district and area directors, RCMP and Victims Assistance, local business owners, community members, and School District 51 staff, we thank you for your extraordinary efforts in being there, in pitching in, in making sure that the needs of all those affected by the fires were met. A special heartfelt thanks goes to the local fire departments and firefighters who were in the thick of it, working long days in dangerous conditions to quell the flames, save properties and ensure the safety of those living in the area. The open and constant communication throughout the Rock Creek Fire and Stickpin fire was first rate, and helped to keep us calm and informed. Thanks also to those crews that worked quickly to get power and communications up again and those who ensured the roads were open as quickly as possible. You all provided an amazing example of the strength, caring and deep capacity of the communities that make up the Boundary. We couldn’t be prouder to call this area home and we couldn’t be prouder of all of you.

Thank you so very much! Teresa Rezansoff Board Chair Board of Education SD 51 Boundary

Committee meets to assess needs PASTOR RYAN VAN KUIK Submitted to the Gazette

The Rock Creek/Westbridge Fire Needs Committee has been meeting multiple times per week in order to determine the best course of action in helping those directly affected by the fire. First priority has been to make sure residentsʼ immediate basic needs are met (food, shelter, water, and clothing). Next, the focus has been on finding solutions to what it will take to get through the coming winter (such as firewood). Thirdly, the committee is working to determine those in most need of assistance in helping rebuild their homes. Beneficiary criteria has been established in order to

guide the committee. To receive assistance, oneʼs needs must be a direct result of the fire. On the question of insurance, only those underinsured or uninsured will be able to receive assistance (those who had their home insured may qualify for assistance in regards to other losses that were not insured). Primary residences will be considered before seasonal or income properties. Consideration will be given when oneʼs livelihood was affected. Consideration will be given to those on a fixed or low income. Specific vulnerabilities will also be evaluated (such as age, health, family needs, etc.). A large part of the task so far has been to coordinate the efforts being made. The

hope is to not double up with anotherʼs generosity and to make sure no one is overlooked. In order for this to happen, the committee is working to be aware of individual needs, which organizations are willing and able to assist (such as Mennonite Disaster Service, Christian Disaster Service, Red Cross, and Habitat for Humanity), and other local efforts. In order for this to be most effective, the committee is asking other groups/funds set up to communicate with them as partners. Coordination of debris removal is also being worked on. Based upon the criteria, the committee has been working to prioritize the needs. Those who have lost homes and are considered primary

candidates for assistance are being notified as to funds and services available to them. Any donations made to the Rock Creek/Westbridge Fire Needs Committee will be issued a tax deductible receipt. You can donate either by stopping by the Greenwood branch of the Heritage Credit Union or by mailing your donation to Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, 202 - 843 Rossland Ave., Trail, B.C., V1R 4S8. While the RDKB has been generous to donate the handling of funds and receipting, it is the local committee that determines where and how the funds are spent. If you have any needs or questions, feel free to contact Vicki Gee at 250 446 2042 or vgee@rdkb.com.

New cooperative begins with pilot project SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

A new regional cooperative has begun operations with a pilot project helping local farmers get their goods to a broader range of markets. The Kootenay and Boundary Food Producers Coop (KBFPC) began its market brokerage and distribution pilot in July with their new coordinator, Susan Warren. They are working with farmers in the Salmo and Fruitvale areas to help find

markets and distribute their products to those markets over the course of the summer. Warren determines what products are available from which farmers on a weekly basis, and coordinates with local retailers and a local shipper to get sustainably grown veggies into more hands. Kootenay Market, Ferraro Foods and Kootenay Bakery Coop are just some of the retailers now ordering from the Producer’s Coop. “The goal of this pilot,” Warren said, “is to allow farmers to remain on their

farms growing food and raising animals, while reducing their costs by working cooperatively.” The KBFPC plans to offer other much needed services to its members, just at a time when food prices and uncertainty of supply are becoming national issues. Kim Charlesworth, a founding member, said, “Our research shows long-term winter storage, a labour pool, and a value-added processing facility are all critically needed in the area.” Mark your calendars to

celebrate! The KBFPC is hosting a Local Producers Fall Event with an open house, followed by a good old-fashioned barn dance Oct. 17 at the Taghum Hall near Nelson. The event is to celebrate their official launch and provide information to anyone interested in membership. The KBFPC is actively recruiting new members from Grand Forks to Creston and north to Naksup and Argenta. Contact regionalproducerscoop@gmail.com for information, or visit our website at kbfpc.ca.

City workers upset “We’re dealing with more than one issue here,” said Lawrence. “We have numerous grievances that we’ve been working on for going on six months. The reason we’re here tonight (Monday) is for an action our CAO (Doug Allin) informed of us last week, which is they are removing three full-time positions from the outside works which is in direct contravention of the collective agreement between the city and the CUPE local.” Lawrence said the three positions outlined in the letter were: parks maintenance 3, water and sewer operator 2, and one that is currently vacant but the union is grieving. Lawrence himself is a water and sewer operator 2 and believes his job could be cut. The vacant position is for public works foreman, which was left vacant after David Reid moved up to management (manager of operations). “There’s only one other and he has 10 years seniority on me,” said Lawrence. ‘I’m not sure how it could be him.” Lawrence said the union didn’t want to have to protest but the city forced their hand. “We didn’t want to go this route,” he said. “We tried through the grievance process to fix these issues first. We were called in on Sept. 10 and went through a 48-minute PowerPoint presentation on asset management. Within that, it was explained that council had mandated our CAO to come up with a balanced and fair plan and part of that balanced and fair plan was reducing full-time positions by three.” “We thought we should show solidarity by being at the (regular council) meeting tonight,” he said. “That this is wrong.” Lawrence said the union is currently reviewing their options before proceeding. “We all love our jobs. We want to perform our duties and respect our positions; however, we perceive this as eating away at the union and we’re all union members,” he said. “The reason we’re here tonight is for support. We see this as a possible opening of a door or a precedent setting thing if we don’t stand up to it.” The press release from the city stated that an asset management investment plan was developed that identified the significant financial gaps that exist within the organization, while recognizing ways in which the financial sustainability could be significantly improved without over burdening taxpayers. “The asset management plan is the most fiscally responsible strategy for the city that has been discussed by council to date,” said Mayor Frank Konrad in the release. “I think that it is a very balanced approach to achieving the financial sustainability of the organization without hitting taxpayers where it hurts, keeping the city affordable for residents and businesses.” The press release went on to state that there are cash flow challenges over the next 20 years to fund the previously planned improvements, meaning that those plans are not financially sustainable. They city currently faces an annual deficit of $3.85 million and has an infrastructure backlog of $32 million. On Tuesday, Konrad said in a statement that council will have to approve of any job cuts, tax and rate increases, and all the other recommendations. He said the plan has been in the works for a number of years and is not something they just came up with on a whim. “In 2011, the council at the time started looking at getting their business in order to ensure they could fund the replacement of assets,” said

Konrad. “The city looked at borrowing and is now considering using savings to replace assets, alleviating some of the burden on the taxpayers.” Konrad said the council then really focused on asset management because they recognized that the city has an infrastructure problem due to the age of the city. In 2012, there was a referendum in the city to borrow money for multiple infrastructure projects. Only one (68th Avenue) ended up being done and that was only surface work to add a few more years to the life of the road. Sarah Winton, deputy corporate officer/communcations, told the Gazette Tuesday that if the city borrowed money for projects such as infrastructure it would mean a significant tax increase for taxpayers. “With this asset management financial plan, council is looking at a more balanced approach,” she said. “Rather than borrowing money and

only being able to fix some of the infrastructure and still not have enough money for future repairs or replacement—this plan looks at how can we put the money away so we can actually repair and replace on an as-needed basis. As well as have money in reserve for future needs.” Winton said the information on the asset management plan will be discussed at the Committee of the Whole meeting on Oct. 13. Council must decide on all issues before the final outcomes are in the 2016 financial plan. “The positions identified in the plan will be reviewed by council,” said Winton. “Changes occur in local government regularly.” Winton said there was a meeting on Thursday for everyone in the organization and that there would be a balanced approach as directed by council and in accordance with the asset management plan to cost save and to also look at different ways of generating revenue for the organization. As for the potential job losses, the city would not confirm anything. “The city is evaluating all positions within the organization in order to better balance the services and levels of service that are provided to an affordable rate,” said Winton. “The idea is to avoid downloading the financial burden onto the taxpayers and to future generations of taxpayers.” Winton said staff will begin to implement the options when they are directed to by council. Winton said there could be alternatives to the job losses brought to the table. “The administrative staff has extended an invitation to the union to sit down and have a conversation about alternatives,” she said. Winton said the plan has come forward at this time so council and staff have time to discuss all the issues before the budget process begins. “In the fall we always head into the budget process and we start having these conversations with council,” she said. “The budgeting process is a long one. It takes at least a half a year to get it all firmed.”

Lobster Fest raises over $28,000 CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Lobster Fest was another sellout in its second year. Over 200 people feasted on fresh Atlantic lobster with salad and corn of the cob, and danced the night away to the musical stylings of Renegade from Trail. The event was put on by the Grand Forks Rotary Club and was a fundraiser for the children’s

spray park, which has already began to be built in City Park. Lobster Fest took place Saturday night at the Christina Lake Community Hall and also featured a silent auction and plenty of socializing. “Lobster Fest 2015 was a big success,” said club president Murray Knox. “We sold out beforehand and had over 220 people who enjoyed fresh lobster flown in by air.” The event raised over $28,000 from the ticket sales, bar, silent auction and WestJet raffle. Gordon Nichols and Shannon Profili, cochairs of the Lobster Fest committee, agreed that it was a wonderful event for the community. “It was great fun,” said Nichols. “We are so thankful to people for supporting this event. We raised more than enough money to fully pay for the children’s spray park.” “This is great news to finally have the spray park paid for,” added Profili. “We expect it to be done by the end of October and ready to use by next spring.” Winning the raffle for two tickets anywhere WestJet flies was Letha Leber, a member of Grand Forks Fire/Rescue, who was thrilled to win the prize, which was valued at almost $3,000. Lobster Fest was a lot of fun on Saturday night at the Christina Lake Community Hall with more than 200 people digging in on fresh Atlantic lobster. The event was catered by the Wooden Spoon, although the lobster was cooked by Rotarians, and was served by local students. (left-from left) Liam McIntyre checks on the corn as Georgia Grenier, Shay McPeek and Amanda Vatcher prepare the melted butter.

And guess what, students were the perfect prey! Their mistake? They only cared about price. Most didn’t know to ask

What if this isn’t enough? I thought. I didn’t hesitate. In big red lettering, I said it was a “Blowout Sale! Everything Must Go!” I’ll just tell the callers I was moving and needed to get rid of my entire inventory. When they called with a car in mind from the website, I’d just tell them it’s been sold. And then I’d talk up what I

They had no clue that they were giving up the many protections of buying from a licensed dealer. Once again, I hit pay dirt! My advertising lies brought

many calls. Some caught on to my bait and switch system. But, as always, there were enough buyers who fell for my tricks. And, when the cars stop running – I’ll be gone. However, I’ve learned I can stay a little longer if I keep moving. Where’s a good place to get some inventory? I thought.

WATCH OUT FOR WALT!

Walt heads south chasing down unwary car buyers

Limited Compliance Actions Highlight Commitment to Professionalism The Vehicle Sales Authority (VSA) oversees the licensed motor dealer industry in British Columbia. The industry represents 430,000 transactions, or $10 billion in regulated vehicle sales, each year. Despite more than 1,300 consumer enquiries, nearly 800 dealer inspections and ongoing advertising monitoring, a typical 12 month period generates the following compliance activities: ❚ Voluntary acknowledgement and action by 15 to 20 dealers that errors were made during the representation and sale of vehicles, as documented in signed undertakings ❚ Up to five dealers facing hearings before the Registrar of Motor Dealers for allegations of deceptive business practices ❚ 500 consumer-initiated investigations, resulting in the return of $1 million to consumers ❚ And, as a result of licensing

reviews, three to five salesperson licences will be denied, one or two will be suspended and others will be issued with conditions based on prior conduct. Licensing and business practice decisions of the Registrar were also recently upheld by the BC Supreme Court, following applications for judicial review. The licensed vehicle sales industry in BC includes over 1,400 licensed RV, motorcycle and auto dealers that employ over 7,000 licensed salespeople. In the last 12 months, 1,600 new salespeople and 100 new dealers were certified and licensed. Consumer awareness activities, like the Watch out for Walt! campaign, are ongoing. Consumer information, complete compliance details and the 2015 VSA Annual Report, which includes a full summary of VSA activities for the last three years, can be found at vehiclesalesauthority.com.

CURBERS SELL VEHICLES THAT MAY BE UNSAFE OR STOLEN! Curbers are individuals and businesses selling vehicles for profit without a licence Curbers may get junk cars and sell them from parking lots while posing as private sellers. They advertise through local newspapers and online ads. They may not disclose the vehicle history to the buyer, hiding serious accident

damage or even a rolled back odometer. Licensed dealers are required by law to sell safe, lien-free vehicles and disclose vehicle histories. If you buy from Walt, you have none of the protections of buying from a licensed dealer.

September is Literacy Month! During Literacy Month the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy – Boundary (CBAL) is participating in Decoda Literacy Solutions’ month-long literacy awareness campaign called Literacy is Life. CBAL will be publishing a series of stories submitted from the community—stories about an experience with wild animals. CBAL and WildSafeBC have partnered in this writing project, which will see a new story published each week for the month of September. It’s not too late. Tell us a story about how you have enjoyed wild animals in the wild, keeping them wild! For more information contact Sheila Dobie, community literacy coordinator, at sdobie@cbal.org.

In the morning I go out and gather the wind falls, but there are so many, I cannot keep up. One morning I saw that I had help overnight, seeing one deposit after another. Oh my! These deposits were very very big. They are called scats for animals. And it is a wonder that the bear is absorbing any nutrients when we see such scats! But my heart sank—as it was clear that a big black bear was visiting the orchard and helping himself to windfalls. Nightly the bear returns, but he seems respectful; no fences torn down, no trees ripped apart. I feel worried about this bear, wondering how hungry he must be after the summer we’ve just had. I have heard that the bears are coming closer into the valleys because the berries high in the mountains are so scarce. Is the fruit from the orchard a help? Will he become so use to people that he becomes a danger? Each morning after his nightly feast this beautiful animal slips away and lumbers down the road—off to the next place. I watch him go with a blessing and a prayer, that his forays will continue to be brief and unthreatening so that he can continue safely to his winter sleeping place.

Fall soccer returns with 16 teams on the field CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

After a one-season sabbatical, fall soccer is returning to the area. Jeff Olsen, executive director of the Boundary Youth Soccer Association (BYSA), said there were a number of reasons why fall soccer didn’t run last fall but he said they have good numbers this year and are all ready to go. “For fall we have a good turnout of kids,” said Olsen, “especially considering how much other stuff is going on like hockey. The West Boundary kids do 4H and other things. So we’ve got lots of kids.” The league starts this Sunday at 9 a.m. until 12 noon at both Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS) and at Christina Lake at the elementary school. Olsen said there are 135 kids registered for the league not including Kicks4Kids, which could be as high as 50. Players can still register through the league website at boundaryyouthsoccer.com. There are 16 teams playing in Under 7, Under 9, Under 11, Under 13 and Under 16. There is also a Kicks4Kids program for children aged 2-4 in both communities.

Unfortunately, this year BYSA is limited to the East Boundary (Grand Forks and Christina Lake) due to the lack of participants in the west end. “West Boundary has no teams because they’re all too busy,” said Olsen. “We do, however, have a Kicks4Kids program running in Midway on Fridays. That’s on our website.” The fall season, which is really short, wraps up on Oct. 4 with a final wrap-up tournament at GFSS. Olsen said the focus of the league is to get kids excited about soccer and keep them playing. “You get to play with your friends,” he said. “It’s athletic as well and healthy. It’s a positive choice to make in life. You’re not texting if you’re playing soccer.” Olsen added that soccer is great for teaching kids coordination and teamwork. “The big thing we’re about is long-term player development,” he said. “Do we care if kids go off into a AAA gold cup league? That’s not our goal. We want people to still be playing sports at 25, 30, 40 years of age. It’s a healthy direction in life.” Olsen said they’re already seeing kids who played in the league who’ve aged out of the program

and are now coming back and contributing by refereeing and coaching. “It’s great to see they’re interested enough to stick with it,” he said. “They’re giving back

Good sports

and getting back.” Olsen said the league is very appreciative of the great support they’ve gotten from the community. “We’ve had huge support

The Grand Forks Figure Skating Club is back on the ice for another year of skating. Returning for his second year as head coach is Ray Naismith, who was pleased with the improvement of all the skaters last year. “We’re hoping to increase our membership this year,” said Naismith. “We established a base last year and we’re hoping to progress from there. That’s what I’m hoping for. It’s quite amazing the enthusiasm, energy and excitement those kids had.” Naismith said the skaters last year were very motivated and competed very well. “It was nice to see how much they enjoyed skating and how prepared they were,” he said.

“It’s quite awesome. I was quite taken aback.” The club began registration and practice for this season on Monday at Jack Goddard Memorial (Grand Forks) Arena. Naismith said the club would once again participate in a number of competitions throughout the year. “It’s a short season so that limits our options,” he said, “and there’s travel involved and that limits us as well.” Naismith said they would like to enter the Rossland competition in January once again. He is also hoping to organize a couple of tests in town. “I have to see how the skaters progress before I know what tests they can try,” he said. “It’s part of the Skate Canada test structure.” Last year, the club had more

than 30 members with four skaters in the junior academy, which is for skaters who have graduated from the CANSkate program and are working towards their ﬁrst preliminary test; seven skaters at the intermediate and senior level, which are skaters who have at least one preliminary test and are working on tests for the STARSkate program. The club had 21 skaters in the CANSkate including 13 in stages one to three and eight in stages three to six of which six have moved up to the junior academy. The competitive dates scheduled for the club for this season are: Jan. 15-17 East Kootenay Invitational, Invermere, B.C.; Feb. 12-14 Kootenay Regional Championships, Fruitvale, B.C.; March 4-6 Super Series STARSkate ﬁnal, Kelowna, B.C.

In Loving Memory

Lillian Lynne Semenoff March 13, 1934 – September 3, 2015 It is with such sadness we announce the passing of Lillian Lynne Semenoff on Sept. 3, 2015 in Grand Forks, B.C. at the age of 81. Lynne was born on March 13, 1934 in Verigin, Sask. She is predeceased by her parents Peter and Anne Chernoff, husband George, brother Fred Chernoff, sisters inlaw Elizabeth Chernoff, Dorothy Chernoff; brother inlaw John Faminoff and nephew Steve Chernoff. She is lovingly survived by her sons Gerald (Lori) Semenoff, Jack (Gerry) Semenoff; grandchildren Stacey (Michael) Cassidy, Nicole Semenoff, Annalise, Kristina and Alex; great grandaughter Annastasia Cassidy; brother Peter Chernoff; sisters Mabel Faminoff, Anne (Nick) Negrieff and many nieces and nephews. Lynne was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who devoted her life to caring for her family. Her life’s passion was gardening. In her garden was where you would always find her. She grew beautiful flowers and an abundance of vegetables and fruit which she lovingly shared with family and friends. Lynne will be so missed and will forever remain in our hearts. Let me leave you the memory of how I loved you so. Let me leave with you the garden of seeds that I have sown. Come into my garden, where I loved to wonder free. Stop to smell the flowers and remember me.

A funeral service was held on Tues., Sept. 8, 2015 at 10 a.m. at Grand Forks Funeral Home. Interment at Sion Cemetery. We would like to thank Lynne’s doctor, nurses and care aids for taking care of Lynne. A special thank you to Dana Novotny for all you did for Lynne, your kindness will always be remembered. Thank you so much to our families and friends for the gifts of food and ﬂowers and all your love and support.

Grand Forks Gazette

International Day of Peace is Sept. 21 LAURA SAVINKOFF

Submitted to the Gazette

One man gathered enough support for the United Nations in 1981 to declare International Day of Peace. On Sept. 21 the UN is joined by community groups globally to focus on establishing a world of peace, sustainable socio-economic justice, development based in equality and respect for all humanity and the environment. This year`s theme is “Partnerships for Peace—Dignity for all. A day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. Let us stand with the millions of people across the world who are suffering the devastating impact of violence and conflict and share ideas and plans for helping and supporting them in their time of dire need.” The Boundary Peace Initiative partners annually with the USCC Working Groups and the Kootenay Region United Nations Association for a gathering. This year a panel discussion will be offered on “How War Affects Climate Change and How Climate Change Affects Peace.” These two topics in reality intertwine, so we’ll explore that link of how we, the people, can move the political and economic sectors to take seriously the impacts that our combined life styles have on climate change and how this impacts on peaceful co-existence. The panel includes Graham Watt from the Kettle River Watershed Management Plan, a First Nations representative and a few Celebration of Life other knowledgeable local people. Join the Boundary Peace Initiative and its partners on Saturday, September 19th Sunday, Sept. 20 at 2 p.m. at the Slavonic 1:00 - 4 :00 pm Senior Citizens CenRoyal Canadian Legion Branch 59 Hall tre on 72nd Avenue th 7353 6 Street and Seventh Street.

Sarah McGufﬁe and Jaclyn McGufﬁe (Evan) and great nephew Theo and by her aunts Lolly Forshaw, Renee (Donn) Maples, uncle Roy (Julie) Andrew and numerous cousins. Norine was a very compassionate and spiritual person with a great love for the outdoors. She had a deep love of animals working tirelessly with various animal rescue organizations. Completing her training as a registered nurse in Victoria and out-post nurse at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Norine was a long time employee of Health Canada. In her work as an out-post nurse she nurtured the health and well-being of hundreds of people in remote First Nations communities, doing the same in her personal life for her friends and family. A gathering was held at the family home to Celebrate Norine’s life. Arrangements entrusted to the Baker Family of Grand Forks Funeral Home.
