Deer committee dissolved CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks Deer Committee has been dissolved but it is unclear whether or not the city will be moving ahead with the deer cull program at this time. The news was delivered as a late item during the regular council meeting on Dec. 14. “Council has voted unanimously to resolve the current deer committee and further that the city operationalizes the referendum question as per the wishes of the majority of the elecorate at the 2014 government elections,” said Mayor Frank Konrad, who added that the question was pulled out of in-camera.

A resident in the audience asked if that meant that the city was going ahead with the deer cull. Konrad replied that the city is going forward to respect the wishes of the citizens in regards to the referendum. In 2014, during the municipal election, the residents of Grand Forks voted 895 (65 per cent) in support of a deer cull as a deer management option in Grand Forks, while 589 (35 per cent) voted against. The vote was non-binding. Sarah Winton, deputy corporate officer/communications, said that the deer committee was dissolved after fulfilling their mandate. The city would not confirm whether or not the cull would go ahead.

Phoenix Ski Hill opens Thanks in large part to our recent snow dumps, Phoenix Mountain Ski Hill is officially open for business. The mountain opened up on Dec. 18 as scheduled and has been enjoying good crowds. Phoenix is reporting a 74 cm base of snow with 5 cm of fresh snow as

of Tuesday. The website is reporting that 15 out of 16 runs are open. The hill is open every day of the holidays from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. except Christmas Day when they are closed. On New Years Day the hill will be open 11 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. at half prices.

The last time the Grand Forks Border Bruins made the playoffs in the KIJHL was at least 15 years ago. The last and only time the Bruins made it all the way to the KIJHL championship final was in 1973-74 where they lost three games to one to the Cranbrook Colts. This year’s Bruins, who are hoping to have a deep playoff run this year, are honouring the executive of the 1973-74 team with the Foundation Builders game on Saturday, Jan. 2. Some of the players will be attendance at the game, including former NHLer Ron Areshenkoff, who grew up in Grand Forks. The Bruins will be playing the Spokane Braves at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 2 and tickets will be the low, low price of $1.50, the same as they were in ‘73-‘74. The team is hoping to “Pack the Jack” Goddard Memorial Arena like the old days. Also expected to attend the game are Norm Lenardon and Davy Rusnell, who both played with the 1963 world champion Trail Smoke Eaters. The Gazette spoke to Areshenkoff over the phone from Estevan, Saskatchewan where he now works for Spectra Financial. He said he is looking forward to coming back to the Boundary to watch the game and cheer on his former team. He fondly remembers his time with the Bruins and that championship final season. “I was 16 years old; it was a long time ago,” said Areshenkoff. “I grew up in Grand Forks and played minor hockey there. As a kid I grew up watching the Border Bruins and wanting to be a Border Bruins some day. Watching Walter Sofonoff (who to me was one of the best captains I have ever seen), Alec Kootnekoff in goal, the Negraiff brothers, Walter Plotnikoff, Mike Hoover…as a kid it’s what we always strived for. I hope our championship team did the same for another generation of young Grand Forks hockey players.” Areshenkoff’s father (Nick W. Areshenkoff) coached minor hockey, was president of Grand Forks Minor Hockey Association and was also a city councillor and on the credit union board. “He always wanted to help make the city better and was obsessed with creating hockey opportunities for the youth,” said Areshenkoff. “As I’ve gotten older I’m more and more proud of my mom (Liz Areshenkoff) and dad for how kind and giving they were to everyone around them.” Areshenkoff said the team had huge rivalries with division rivals Trail, Rossland, Nelson and Spokane. “Trail was always the class of the league,” he said. “We were a little different in that we had some success against Trail in minor hockey which was unheard of. We eliminated them in the division final that year. Those were heady days. The rivalries were so intense and the emotions ran so high.” Another factor contributing to the rivalry was the fact that Russia and Canada played in 1972 in the famous Super Series. “It was that era when hatred for the Soviet Union was at its peak,” said Areshenkoff. “That just added to the rivalry. Half our team was probably Russian. It added another layer to the games.” After knocking off Trail three games to two, the 73-74 Bruins then faced the now defunct

Cranbrook Colts in the league final. The Colts dominated the KIJHL for many years and in fact won five straight league titles from 19711976. They beat the Bruins three games to one and went on to win the Cyclone Taylor Cup, which consisted of all the top junior teams in B.C. “I remember the rinks being absolutely full,” said Areshenkoff. “It was definitely the central focus in town. The playoff run was pretty exciting. We lost the first game to Cranbrook, won the second and then lost the last two. We were in the hunt. If the stars would have aligned, we could have beat them. That’s the way it goes.” Areshenkoff said it’s unfortunate that the Grand Forks team hasn’t had much success since that year although he does still follow them online and is glad to see a stronger Bruins team this year. “I admire the people over the years keeping the team together,” he said. “It’s important to keep the franchise going. The city wouldn’t be the same without it. I still have family there and I get there two or three times a year and try to take in a game each winter.” After finishing in Grand Forks, Areshenkoff played two years of Junior A hockey in Vernon and the moved on to the Medicine Hat Tigers of the Western Hockey League (Major Junior) for two seasons. In his final season of hockey with the Tigers he scored 36 goals and 50 assists for 86 points and was named the team’s most valuable player. In June of that year (1977) he was selected in the second round of the NHL draft by the Buffalo Sabres. Areshenkoff played a couple of years in the American and Central Hockey Leagues as well as a few games for the Edmonton Oilers during the 197980 season. In Edmonton he got the chance to play with NHL legends Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier. Areshenkoff was honoured by the Bruins in 2007 by having his Buffalo Sabres and Edmonton Oilers jerseys permanently erected in the Jack Goddard (Grand Forks) Arena as a tradition builder. “I’m really looking forward to the January 2nd game and seeing many of the good people who helped build the Border Bruin franchise,” he said.

Kudos to both sides

It is great to see that cooler heads prevailed and no union jobs will be cut at the city at this time. It is admirable to see the city try and save money with their asset management plan so they can begin to upgrade infrastructure without incurring too much debt, but cuts are never easy. Whether you call it laid off, fired, terminated or replaced, losing a job is a devastating event. For workers with families and young children it’s particularly tough around the holidays. The city workers had the benefit of having the union (CUPE) behind them and showed great solidarity. Doing their part, the city was able to show great foresight by looking at different options in saving that $300,000 per year and settling on an option that had less impact on local families. It’s unfortunate that the situation went on for a couple of months before an amicable solution could be found but eventually both sides were able to put aside some petty squabbling and get the deal done. Here’s to the city “going forward!”

Creeping in like invasive species

Rousing the Rabble ROY RONAGHAN Like invasive species in the natural world, there are words and phrases creeping into dayto-day English and becoming well established that mean nothing. “Going forward” is a recent one that is starting to get a lot of use. Once established, there is no way of getting rid of such bothersome words except to encourage others not to use them. In the case of going forward, it’s an unnecessary meaningless phrase coined by corporate heads now being used by politicians and ordinary folk. My most recent encounter with “going forward” occurred during my morning routine on

Oct. 28. The host of the CBC morning show from Kelowna interviewed a guest who used the phrase several times. Had it been only once I may have let it pass but hearing “My plan going forward is to grow my business” annoyed me. When I got to my computer, I began a search online to determine whether anyone was as bothered by the phrase as I was. I found an article in The Guardian by Mark Sercombe with the title: “Going forward, let’s confine this inane phrase to history.” Seacombe states, “Barrack Obama does it, David Cameron does it; film stars and advertising people do it; even national newspaper editors do it. But let’s not do it. Going forward, let’s not utter or write the superfluous, meaningless, ubiquitous ‘going forward’.” Seacombe’s defense is to switch off and think of other more interesting things such as

the winning prospects of the local soccer team. I go as far as turning the radio off. I was curious about the origin of the phrase so I began a search to find its roots and its intended meaning. Margaret Rouse, owner and operator of WhatIs.comTech Target IT encyclopedia and learning centre provided a long answer. Rouse states, “Going forward is a relatively new and apparently convenient way to indicate a progression in time from the present. The term suggests a continuing and progressive movement rather than, as in the future, can sometimes mean some specific future date. Like many such expressions, it means enough to be useful whilst also being suitably vague. The term is widely used in annual reports and other corporate statements and, like such terms as venue and cautionary tale, seems to have been readily adopted by new media writers.

The term has become increasingly popular in press releases from Internet start-ups and newly created pubic companies.” If a word or phrase adds nothing to a statement, why use it? Examine these two statements. Our company expects to make a profit going forward. We don’t expect any layoffs going forward. Does the addition of “going forward” in either of them make a difference? Of course there are other phrases that are just as inane as going forward. “You know” and “You know what” are examples. They appear to serve only as punctuation and add nothing more if importance to any discussion. Embellishing statements with meaningless words and phrases may be popular in boardrooms but does nothing to improve written and oral communication among ordinary people. I’ve said enough about getting

rid of “going forward” but it is not alone. Many other meaningless invasive words have entered our everyday English and they do nothing to improve any written or spoken exchange. Several of these aliens come to mind: the end of the day; fairly unique; I personally; at this moment in time; with all due respect; absolutely; it’s a nightmare; 24/7; it’s not rocket science; great; awesome; cool, and one that makes me cringe, “game changer”. They are among a myriad of words that should be forgotten. They won’t be missed and they don’t deserve a going away celebration. Unlike dandelions, new words and phrases stick with us and, depending on their usage, become commonplace. Based on their usage they will eventually appear in dictionaries and many already have. My only hope is that people think before they speak and stop using them. It’s not a lot to ask.

Opinion

to the editor

Soul prayer goes out to the bear Editor, The Gazette: The hungry little bear went to heaven because he didn’t have a mama to feed him or take care of him. Life, precious life, what a beautiful sound it makes! it’s like angels singing from the spheres; so pleasing to the soul. The reason for our writing this story is because it haunts our souls, and change should come about, to

change the misery for animalkind. We could understand how it all happened. Some people were getting ready for Christmas celebrations. Some had obligations to meet, and in our very midst, others didn’t hear little ear’s cries, so there was no one to defend a helpless little bear without his mama. Our soul prayer goes to the little bear without his mama, who didn’t do anything wrong. Ques-

tion: shouldn’t mankind have some better solutions for our creator’s creatures, our animalkind on our beloved planed Earth, instead of kill, klll, kill? As a sign to peoples of Earth, our Doukhobor forefathers burnt their firearms in Russia, yet in the 1800s, to honour Thou Shalt Not Kill. Pauline Berikoff and Nell Parfiniuk, Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette: A wee black bear cub was “downtown” eating people’s garbage out of the garbage bins, a starving young being whose mama had been destroyed (obviously)— a mother bear will die first before seeing harm come to her cub (and to children). Most people I know (including the hunters) cannot tell a female or male bear by looking at their face (often not their haunches—bears

don’t “display” like humans in an outright manner, to put it politely.) And if they don’t see any cubs nearby (and usually won’t) they assume that the bear is male…hence, all the orphans. It has been a terribly hard year for all creatures. People throw food in the garbage cans—why wouldn’t a hungry being (humans included) take what they need? The little one could have been helped with walking him/her up

toward the mountain and putting a feast in front of him/her and then brought to a shelter/helping place. I would have been glad to take the child…the starving, lonely little being. This is the time Christians celebrate abundance and charity. Jesus is quoted as saying: “In as much as you have given to these….you have given to me.” I am ashamed of us. Kate Piché, Christina Lake

Little bear could have been helped

Wake up before Jesus gave his life another life lost to give mankind hope Editor, The Gazette: I was saddened and disgusted at the demise of the emaciated baby bear found in a tree downtown a few weeks ago. If a society is to be judged by how we treat our animals, we are in a sad state indeed. How do we see fit to award trigger-happy conservation officers and punish forward-thinking people like Alan Piché (aka Bear Dude) who did more for the preservation of wildlife than anybody? Did any of the bears he fed cause problems elsewhere? I don’t think so. As man encroaches more and more on wildlife habitat, our answer to the conflict seems to come out of the barrel of a gun. Why not maybe start a feed lot near the landfill area? Instead grocery stores are disposing meat and produce simply because it is slightly past its due date. Our ignorance must be halted before one day our forests are void of wildlife similar to Europe and other countries. Before another innocent life is lost, it is time to wake up! Peter Demski, Grand Forks

In Loving Memory

Bill Lazaroff April 14, 1944 – December 26, 2005 Sadly missed and always remembered Florence, Ken, Sherri, Kyler & Colton, Dena, Chris & Asher

Editor, The Gazette: Santa is a metaphor for the spirit of giving. Jesus gave his life to give hope to mankind. Gifts to one another may rekindle the spirit of giving and hope. Children may not fully understand what Christ did

for them. But as I got this old, I think back at the wonderful Christmases our family shared because of Jesus and I say thank you, Jesus! Nadine Heiberg, Grand Forks

Someone is gouging us at the pumps! Editor, The Gazette: Oil at OPEC in August 2014 was $115 per barrel. It was $1.30.9 at the service station pumps. One barrel of oil equals 158.987295 litres.

Today, oil at OPEC is under $36 US a barrel. It costs $1.03.9 at our pumps. Someone is gouging us! Gladys Brown, Midway, B.C.

Pomp and ceremony a moving reminder Parliament opened for a brief two-week sitting in early December. For a newcomer to Parliament Hill, I found the pomp and ceremony, borrowing from centuries of parliamentary tradition, a moving reminder of the deep trust my constituents have placed in me. I gave my first speech in the House towards the end of the sitting; you can see it online at http://on.fb.me/1U0qGuA. On Dec. 4, the new Liberal government outlined its priorities in the Speech from the Throne. It was a very short speech, especially considering the lengthy list of promises in the Liberal campaign platform. It was heartening to hear some important pledges emphasized, especialFrom the hill ly regarding the fight against climate change. RICHARD CANNINGS Canada’s large delegation to the Paris climate conference made headlines with some strong words aiming for a 1.5-degree limit to global warming. While we in the progressive opposition were happy to see this outcome, we will be watching future announcements carefully for the new carbon emission targets and green technology investments that we will need to achieve this critical goal. Since Canada went to Paris with no new plan, the government has promised to come up with some details within the next three months as to how this country will quickly transition to a low-carbon future. The government’s plan to bring in thousands of Syrian refugees by the end of February was also a frequent topic of debate in the House. As I mentioned in my previous column, I’m happy to say that the overwhelming majority of comments I have received on this issue have been positive. Last Wednesday I met with representatives of community groups that are working together to settle refugees in the south Okanagan and they also mentioned the great support they had received from hundreds of local residents. The Throne Speech also briefly mentioned plans for increased infrastructure spending. Last week I met with mayors and councillors from a number of communities on the Kootenay side of the riding, and infrastructure is certainly on the top of their lists regarding help from Ottawa. I promised them that I’ll be watching for details on this initiative as they emerge. At this time of year, it is especially important to remember those less fortunate than us. Our cold winters make conditions even more difficult for the homeless, and local food banks need your donations to ensure that no-one in this wealthy country is hungry over the holidays. I’ve been involved in a couple of recent meetings that took giant steps toward bringing groups together to house the homeless in Penticton. It was so encouraging to see the city, several churches and dedicated activists pledge to really get things done on this issue in the coming months. My staff and I will be moving in to offices in Penticton and Castlegar on Dec. 30, and I’ll be advertising open houses at both locations in January to welcome you all to those locations and meet my staff. In the meantime, have a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!

Fire department says thanks COUNCIL BRIEFS By Craig Lindsay The regular council meeting on Dec. 14 once again featured a full house. Letter of thanks from Christina Lake Fire Department

Council received a letter from the Christina Lake Fire Department thanking Grand Forks Fire/Rescue Chief Dale Heriot and firefighter Jen Dorner for helping out during a recent fire investigation at Christina Lake. “We lost a landmark building (Crow & Bear Pub) out here on the morning of Nov. 21 and the responsibility to determine the cause of this fire rested with me,” said Ken Gresley-Jones, Christina Lake Fire Department chief in the letter. “I am recovering from knee surgery and walking through the wreckage would have been very dangerous for me. When Dale and I talked about this, he stepped up right away and said he could basically be my eyes and ears in this matter.” Gresley-Jones went on to say that the work by Heriot and Dorner was exceptional and was another example of the incredible level of cooperation and support between the two fire departments.

Gas tax payment information received Council received for information a letter from the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) regarding the Gas Tax Agreement Community Works Fund (CWF) payment for 2015-16. The letter stated that UBCM is in the process of distributing the second CWF payment for the fiscal year 2015-16. The city will be receiving $106,709.50 within the next 30 days. “These payments are made in accordance with the payment schedule set out in your CWF agreement with UBCM,” said Al Richmond, UBCM president, in the letter. CWF is available to eligible local governments by the Government of Canada pursuant to the administrative agreement on the Federal Gas Tax Fund in B.C. Funding under the program may be directed to local priorities that fall within one of the eligible project categories. Sheets in as manager of planning and engineering Dolores Sheets has moved into the position of manager of planning and engineering for the city, replacing Sasha Bird

who has taken a similar job in Merritt, B.C. Sarah Winton, deputy corporate officer/communications, told the Gazette that Sheets’ former position of engineering technologist for Grand Forks will be filled. Rezoning amendment

Council carried first and second reading of the zoning amendment bylaw No. 1606A4, 2015, which would rezone property located at 6401 Highway 3 from the current tourist commercial to highway commercial. The property is approximately 1.67 hectares in size and the rear lot line abuts the Kettle River. The applicant wishes to fully utilize the property and the highway commercial zoning would allow for restaurants, auto sales and parts supply, service stations, convenience stores including gas bars, car wash establishments and retail sales. Dolores Sheets, manager of planning and engineering, told council that after the first two readings the application would go to a public hearing in January. Councillor Colleen Ross was the lone vote against. She said that she would not support the motion because it “sounds like • See COUNCIL BRIEFS page 27

Grand Forks Gazette

Grand Forks City Council received an update on the asset management and capital project priorities from Scott Shepherd of Urban Systems at its Committee of the Whole meeting on Dec. 14. The city’s asset management investment plan (AMIP) is a model that presents a sustainable investment scenario for the city’s infrastructure assets over a 20-year period. AMIP is always current; it is a rolling plan that moves ahead year by year. Key takeaways as noted by Shepherd are: Grand Forks is responsible for operating and maintaining almost $127 million worth of infrastructure (water system, wastewater, stormwater, roadways, buildings and facilities, electrical, fleet and parks); there is approximately $32 million in infrastructure that has passed its service life ($20 million of this amount is for roads); an annual investment of $3.85 million is needed for asset renewal; the projected revenues for Grand Forks over the next 20 years are not sufficient to achieve asset renewal investment targets and planned capital investments; addressing immediate and future renewal needs will result in significant cash flow given current revenue generating potential; and using a risk-based approach, the asset renewal projects have been prioritized based on likelihood and consequence of failure, resulting in a

target investment of $700,000 annually for the capital renewal of highest priority assets. The information developed in the asset management program will be utilized in the city’s 2015 capital planning process and discussions with council around future policies to increase revenues and reduce costs. The report from Urban Systems also included a cash flow analysis that found a sustainability gap between current and anticipated revenues compared to planned expenditures. The model indicated that the city could generate $222 million in revenue whereas expenditures are expected to be $278 million over the next 20 years (a financial sustainability gap of $2.8 million/year). With an infrastructure deficit of $32 million and a shortfall of $2.8 million/year in revenue, this means that the cost burden to renew infrastructure is going to grow over the next two or three decades more than the city’s revenue. To balance revenues and expenditures, Shepherd said some trade-offs would have to be considered such as: building reserves (dedicated for renewal); undertake borrowing; increasing revenue (tax and rate increases); investing in alternative revenue sources; cost containment through increasing risk, adjusting levels of service, etc.); and prioritized capital planning. Some of the trade-offs are tools already available and in

use within the city, while others will require further consideration of how to increase revenues, and contain costs. Shepherd also presented a study on the Eastside Reservoir, which is one of the city’s priority infrastructure upgrades, to council on Dec. 14. Shepherd said that Grand Forks has two potable water reservoirs referred to as the Eastside Reservoir and the Valley Heights Reservoir. The Eastside Reservoir provides most of the city’s water storage (90 per cent of 3,450 metres cubed) and is essentail to ensuring that the city has adequate water supply for fire protection and peak demands. During an inspection by Interior Health (IH) on March 14, 2013 and July 16, 2014, it came up with a couple of concerns that could put the water quality at risk. IH requested the city develop a long-term strategy for addressing these concerns, said Shepherd. Urban Systems evaluated a couple of different options for the reservoir and came up with recommending that Grand Forks decommission the existing Eastside Reservoir and replace it with a buried cast-in-place concrete reservoir ($2,159,643). Timing for the replacement should take in account the remaining service life of the existing geomembrane liner (2031) and cover, IH’s requirements and the availability of grant funding.

Leaving cookies and milk a tradition Children regularly place a dish of cookies and a glass of milk by the tree on Christmas Eve so that Santa has enough energy to complete all of his gift-giving before kids wake up on Christmas morning. The tradition of leaving cookies out on Christmas Eve may trace its origins to Saint Nicholas. On the feast of St. Nicholas on December 6, children would leave food and drink for the saint and any attendants. The treats would be exchanged for gifts. While that’s one theory behind the tradition, others think it is linked to the history of the Christmas tree and the edible decorations that adorn it. Santa would snack on the ornaments. Even after edible decorations gave way to inedible ornaments, the tradition of leaving a snack for Santa remained. Whatever the origins behind the tradition, millions of children dutifully leave milk and cookies for We’re ringing in the holiday season Santa on Christmas with sincere thanks to our customers! Eve.

Seals originated Christmas 1904 One stormy December night in 1903, a postman named Einar Holboell was working late in a post office on the outskirts of Copenhagen. He was sorting great piles of Christmas mail. As he moved around among the mailbags he paused to look out the window. At that moment two little waifs, a ragged little girl and boy appeared. Suddenly he had an idea. Just suppose that every letter or parcel carried an extra stamp and the money from the tens of thousands of such stamps went to help unfortunate children. What a blessing it would be! Christmas of 1904, the seals went on sale. The campaign was even more successful than the postmen had hoped. They decided that the children in most distress were the hundreds, perhaps even thousands, who were crippled by tuberculosis. With funds from the first two Christmas Seal campaigns they started building two hospitals for treatment of children with tuberculosis. This was a turning point in the world history of this disease because it was the beginning of the movement to get ordinary citizens to take part in fighting an infectious disease, one, which at that time was the

leading cause of death, outstripping even wars and famines. In 1907 the idea crossed the Atlantic. A little sanatorium down on the Brandywine River in Delaware was about to close for lack of $300, sending the patients, all of whom were infectious, out among others where they would spread their disease. The idea horrified the doctors and one of them, Joseph P. Wales, appealed to his cousin Emily Bissell to try and think of some way to raise $300. Miss Bissell recalled reading about the Christmas Seal campaign and approached her local newspaper, launching the “Stamp Out Tuberculosis!” campaign. By the next Christmas, news of the Danes’ campaign had reached Canada. Interested people in Toronto and Hamilton embarked on Christmas Seal campaigns for the sake of struggling

hospitals being built for TB patients. That first year, the Toronto campaign raised $6,114.25 and Hamilton citizens gave $1,244.40. Year by year other cities across Canada tried the Christmas Seal campaign as a means not only of raising money but of creating the awareness that tuberculosis could be controlled. At first the money was used for the new and badly needed sanatoriums. Once established, Christmas Seal funds were then used for TB prevention. The Seals have paid for millions of Canadians to have chest X-rays or tuberculin tests and in this way thousands of cases have been found before the disease spread to others. Though tuberculosis is not the threat to life and health it was even 50 years ago, there are still about 1,600 new cases each year in Canada. In the meantime other diseases of the lungs, though not infectious, have increased enormously. Emphysema, chronic bronchitis and asthma make breathing difficult for millions of Canadians. Christmas Seals funds are now used to fund research for people with life threatening lung diseases.

A cat’s Christmas story KRISTINA HOCKLEY

For the Grand Forks Gazette

Catness Fatness has a great North Fork story! She used to belong to Jake Giesbrecht and was his barn cat. Jake was our ranching neighbour who died in an awful car accident the winter of 2012 on the lower North Fork. Our family had been visiting Jake as his cat had just given birth to six kittens. The kids fussed over Cat and her kittens and made them a warmer hay box to sleep in, decorated it, and placed it in Jake’s shop. Despite him never giving cat a proper name, he did love her. The day before Jake died we went over to check on the

Grand Forks Gazette

kittens and daughter Kyra ran into the shop first and Jake heard her and met her at the box. Our son Jack remembered that Jack had liked the white ones the most. He was a wonderful man and we miss him! Cat retired from her barn work and we moved her over to our house and raised the kittens, then adopted them out. All except for one white kitten, which Jack kept and called Dobby. Cat we nicknamed Catness after the Hunger Games character. She is an expert huntress like her. Then with her love of food and the wood stove, she grew fat and no matter what we do to help her lose weight she remains our “Catness Fatness”! Every Christmas is a special one with “Catness Fatness”!

Exploring the colours of Christmas The colours red, green, gold, and silver are prominent during the holiday season, when they can be seen on everything from gift wrap to decorations. Decorations adorning homes and businesses in the familiar colors of red and green are popular come the holiday season. Even gift wrap, greeting cards and clothing tend to lean toward red and green as the holiday season hits full swing. It is difficult to think of Christmas without envisioning everything awash in these popular colors, broken up only by the inclusion of gold, white or silver accents. The colors of Christmas are often taken for granted, and many celebrants are unaware of how these colors became symbols of the holiday season and why they remain so to this day. Several theories exist as to why red and green became the hallmarks of Christmas. One such theory is that the colors evolved from pagan celebrations similar to the evolution of Christmas traditions. Prior to the arrival of Christianity, many cultures viewed the color green as the symbol of life . It is believed that, during harsh winters, evergreen

trees were cut down and brought indoors to symbolize that life still exists and thrives despite the cold and darkness of winter. Other pagan holidays featured the use of green, red and gold, including the festival of Yule. As Christianity spread across Europe and eventually other parts of the world, red and green were linked to Jesus Christ. Green still represented life, but now this was the eternal life offered by Christ. Red was said to symbolize sacrifice, namely the blood of Jesus when he died on the cross. Some Christians believe that Jesus wore a crown of holly thorns whose berries were originally white. As Jesus’ blood touched the berries, they turned red. Some theorize that the red of the holiday season represents the apples on the tree of paradise in the Garden of Eden. Around the 14th century, the faithful would put on Paradise Plays on December 24 to share the story of creation with those who could not read. It is nearly impossible to find a fruit-bearing apple tree in the winter, so a pine tree adorned with red apples was used instead. Bishops also wore red robes, further tying

the color red to religious masses and celebrations. Gold is frequently used in holiday decorations as well. Gold can represent the sun and light, both important ways to ward off the dark winter. In addition, gold was one of the gifts brought to baby Jesus, making it a color of significance within the Christian faith. Red and green poinsettias also are a symbol of the holiday season, but they didn’t start the colorful tradition. Poinsettias are a relatively recent addition to Christmas symbolism, as they were only first introduced to America in 1828, when they were brought back from Mexico by Joel Poinsett. The holiday season is filled with many different colors that brighten up homes and businesses. Combined with the many twinkling lights used on displays, red and green decorations can add vitality to the dark days of December. GG159486 CAPTION: The colors red, green, gold, and silver are prominent during the holiday season, when they can be seen on everything from gift wrap to decorations.

History and traditions of Boxing Day

Depending on the area, stores may be open or closed. Some people use the opportunity to take part in post-Christmas sales or make returns. Many stores run Boxing Week sales the full week through New Year’s Day. Some shoppers have been known to camp outside of stores to take advantage of the price cuts. The etymology of the name Boxing Day is unclear, but some historians surmise that it is tied to the European tradition of giving gifts to the needy and those in service positions, as was the case during the Middle Ages. In the United Kingdom, it also became tradition that the day after Christmas employers would gift their servants with boxes of food leftovers from the holidays or present monetary gifts. The servants were allowed to take the day off to spend it with their families after having worked Christmas. Other ideas tie the tradition to the Feast of Saint Stephen, which also takes place Seasons Greetings to one and all! on Dec. 26. Metal boxes, It’s been a pleasure serving you. into which people could See you in 2016. put donations for the needy, were left outside 334C Market Ave • 250-442-3025 of churches.

Many countries celebrate Boxing Day on Dec. 26. Those outside of these countries may be unaware as to the meaning behind the holiday and how its traditions originated. Boxing Day is celebrated by those in countries that were once part of the British empire, which includes Canada. As a federal holiday, post offices and banks are closed. Schools also are closed as part of winter vacations. Despite being a federal holiday, Boxing Day is not observed in the same way in all provinces and territories. Also, it is not an official holiday in Quebec.

A big thank you to our very special angels Mike Thompson, Jo Ann Sergeant, Paula Wolkosky and Kathy Kalesnikoff for making the Credit Union bake sale a huge success. The money will be used to purchase gifts for the Community Christmas Hamper-Angel Tree Program. Once again A&W has come forward to help with the publicity of the Christmas Seal Campaign for the B. C. Lung Association. This year the old trays could not be used, so management and staff kindly offered to cut the placemats by hand to fit the smaller silver, metal trays. Thanks, A&W, and wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Communications key, says city

there would be a lot of contaminants in a place right on our river.”

CRAIG LINDSAY

Continued from page 7

Borrowing bylaw sees first three readings The first three readings of the City of Grand Forks 2016 Revenue Anticipation Borrowing Bylaw were unanimously carried by council. The background information stated that the Community Charter gives municipalities the authority to borrow money to cover obligations during the period between the beginning of the fiscal year (Jan. 1) and the property tax payment due date of the first working day after July 1. Although the city has enough cash on hand to cover its obligations for a considerable length of time, the adoption of an annual Revenue Anticipation Borrowing Bylaw is a requirement of the city’s banking contract.

Grand Forks Gazette

The City of Grand Forks has identified improving their communications as a key priority. To that end, council received and adopted a new communications policy and procedures on Dec. 14 at the Committee of the Whole Meeting. The policy includes sug-

gestions for guiding principles, recommendations to enhance communications procedures and processes to facilitate council member’s community outreach, to adopt a more strategic approach to city communications and to ensure successful internal and external communications. The summary of the policy states: “The City of Grand

Forks recognizes the need to implement new policies, procedures and strategies to enhance communications in the community and within the organization. “Through the strategic and coordinated delivery of its decision-making by informing and engaging the community clearly and consistently with timely and relevant information, reducing misinforma-

tion, and ultimately saving time and resources and improving outcomes.” The guiding principles set forth are accountability, commitment, integrity, inclusiveness, transparency, and authenticity. A copy of the policy can be viewed at the city’s website, grandforks.ca.

Congratulations DARE grads Perley Elementary School Grade 5 students celebrated their DARE graduation on Dec. 15 with a certificate presentation, skits and a cake. Pictured with the students are Mrs. Garrison (far left) and Cst. Nikki-Jo Wolfram, who taught the program. DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) is a 10-session program delivered by the RCMP to elementary students. DARE teaches children to be empowered with the critical thinking and life skills necessary to become safe and responsible citizens. DARE coves many topics that help students understand and deal with strengthening their own self-image. Lessons actively involved student participation through workbook exercises, questions and answers, role playing and group discussion. “As a DARE officer I am given the opportunity to build positive and healthy relationships with the youth in our community,” said Wolfram. “I can tell you honestly interacting with the youth is definitely one of the best parts of my job!” Craig Lindsay photos

Tradition

The force was with the Border Bruins on Saturday night in their game against Castlegar. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker may be in the new Star Wars movie, which just came out, but they couldn’t help those Rebels from Castlegar. The Grand Forks Border Bruins beat the visiting Rebels 5-2 after building an early lead. The Bruins dominated play early, taking a 4-0 lead after two periods on the strength of goals from Ryland Smaha-Muir, Logan Casavant (twice) and Trey Mason. A pair of goals from Tayden Woods early in the third brought Castlegar to within two but the Bears were able to put the game away with an insurance marker from Tyler Fyfe with 1:12 left in the game. Anthony Galliart was in the net and stopped 22 of 24 Rebel shots. The win came on the heels of a tough 2-1 loss against the division-leading Beaver Valley Nitehawks at home Friday night. The loss came after three straight wins against the powerhouse Nitehawks, who only have five losses all season. Brandon Savaia opened up scoring against BV with a goal at 9:27 of the first period. Karsten Jang tied it for the ‘Hawks at 14:49 of the third. Nolan Percival got the game winner a couple of minutes later for the visitors. The Bruins hold steady in third place in the

Submitted to the Gazette

The Grand Forks Midget Bruins remained undefeated in West Kootenay Minor Hockey Association league play with a pair of wins this weekend. On Saturday, Bryden Thomas scored with five seconds left in the third to defeat Moscow, Idaho 5-4. The host Midgets went up 3-1 before they got into penalty trouble and Moscow scored three in row in the evenly-matched contest. Down 4-3, GF fought back to tie the game up in the third before Thomas’ winner. Other goals scorers for Grand Forks were Wyatt Barwick, Zach Donovan, Jared Frith and Isaac Holitzki. The Midget Bruins wrapped up the weekend with a decisive home victory over the Couer d’Alene Thunder. Goalie Levi Bolster picked up the shut-out. The Midgets’ next home game is Jan. 16, when they host the Inland Empire Warhorses.

Health

Healthy eating during the holidays Christmas holidays are approaching fast and we are excitedly preparing for festivities, decorating our houses, buying presents, baking loads of cookies and other treats. It’s such a special time of the year as we gather with family and friends celebrating the season with eating plenty of delicious food and enjoying some holiday cheer. During the holidays, we can overindulge by eating too much of our favourite foods and drinks. This may lead us to an uncomfortable feeling or maybe that feeling of we are ready to explode! The following are some easy tips on how to enjoy your holiday meals without having that uncomfortable feeling and packing on extra pounds. The first and most important thing is to stay hydrated. Alcohol is always dehydrating, so have a glass of cleanfiltered water prior to or after enjoying that holiday cheer. To improve digestion, enjoy a cup of lemon water by squeezing juice of half a lemon in a glass of water and then drink it half an hour before meals. A fresh salad with your main meal will supply you with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and live enzymes to help with digestion of cooked meals. Opt for organic leafy greens, brightly coloured vegetables, sprouts, nuts and seeds. Make your own salad dressings us-

ing healthy oils (olz Simply ive, flax, avocado or Nourished hemp), lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, NATASHA KURALESOVA garlic and various Registered Holistic spices. Nutritionist When preparing a tasty stuffing for your turkey, you can feel less stuffed by using nutrient-dense organic sprouted whole-grain or multigrain bread which is easier to digest. Make simple sides—roasted root veggies and winter squashes will make a great addition to your turkey meal. Bypass the sugar-laden cranberry sauce and make your own by combining cranberries, lemon juice and some stevia or coconut sugar. Cook it on a stovetop for a few minutes, mashing the berries with the fork, and voilà—you have your fresh cranberry sauce that will make any chef proud! For your holiday baking, look for healthier substitutions.Natural sweeteners such as coconut sugar, maple syrup, unpasteurized honey, coconut syrup and stevia are great options to refined sugar. Organic spelt, rice, buckwheat or all-purpose gluten free flours can be traded for regular flour. If making fruit cake, look for unsulfured dried fruits and berries. You can find a good selection of these fruits and berries at the local health food store. Be creative and have fun cooking your holiday meal!

I wish you a happy, healthy and joyful holiday season! Fruit and Nut Muffins 3 eggs ¼ cup carrageenan free coconut or almond milk 1 tbsp coconut sugar ¼ tsp salt ¼ tsp baking powder ¼ cup sifted coconut flour ¼ cup walnuts, chopped 2 tbsp unsulfured dried apricots, chopped 2 tbsp unsulfured cranberries or cherries In a large bowl whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, and salt.
