A response letter from the Grand Forks Figure Skating Club board of directors to the Gazette on Monday clarified that the club has not “folded” or officially disbanded as reported on the front page of Feb. 17 Gazette.

The directors stated that, “As a result of the resignation of the coach, the club cancelled the remaining skating sessions for the season. The issues between the board and the coach are in the process of being resolved.“ In the lead paragraph for the Feb. 17 story, it said that “…the Grand Forks Figure Skating Club has officially disbanded.” The third paragraph quotes a post from board member

Robert Black stating: “Coach Diane Tubrett has withdrawn her agreement to provide coaching services to the club effective immediately. This has left the board with only one option: further skating sessions are cancelled for the rest of the season.”

Monday’s letter went on to say that the club will not be issuing full refunds, “However, there will be refunds for skating sessions not provided.” In the Feb. 17 story, a parent was paraphrased as saying “She did say that they have been told they will receive a full refund.”

The letter states that the club is “currently active” and an annual general meeting is planned for 1 p.m. on April 9 at the Grand Forks Library meeting room. All members are welcome to attend.

room and two bedroom units for seniors on park land property by Christina Creek.

Many who are opposed to the project feel that it is being pushed through without proper consultation and in disregard for the Lake’s Official Community Plan.

Christina Lake resident Johnathan Oldroyd was not at the meeting but he did submit a 35-page report to MLA Linda Larson as well as it the regional manager of BC Parks.

The report begins by stating that: “The following analysis and opinion represents the viewpoint of a significant portion, perhaps the majority, of the population of Christina Lake and I urge you to consider the content of this submission carefully.”

Oldroyd then described the property as being the former Sandner Sawmill property, which was sold to the Crown in 1989 for park purposes and which included all of the P1 (park and recreational zone) conservancy area from the highway along Christina Creek to the south.

“The legal description of the subject property is primarily a fragment of DL 750 and the remainder of DL 498,” he writes. Oldroyd states that the licence (No. 404062) was granted on June 1, 2008 for a term of 10 years. “This licence was granted in section 2.1 for ‘community park purposes’ and acknowledged ‘non-exclusive use and occupancy’ upon the condition contained in section 4.1(c)(i) that the RDKB ‘observe, abide by and comply with all applicable laws, bylaws, order…of any government authority having jurisdiction in any way affect the RDKB’s use or occupation of the land or the improvements.’”

Under Official Community Plan (OCP), Oldroyd states, “All of the land which is the subject of the licences is designated as environmentally sensitive waterfront as defined in the OCP being bylaw 1250 and dated Sept.

30, 2004. This category includes all parcels which are privately owned or both private and public lands which are leased from the Crown and which border of Christina Lake or a tributary creek.”

In his conclusion, Oldroyd says, “The RDKB acted in bad faith and avoided the sprit and intention of the OCP and its protection of sensitive waterfront lands when it avoided or omitted to apply for a development permit to build the Welcome Centre upon the rationalization that it was not a dwelling being built and that the sewer was greater than 100 metres away from the natural boundary of the lake…the RDKB has in its development of and preoccupation with the community centre site and consideration of the location of a seniors housing project, completely abdicated its desire in the OCP ‘to improve the functionality and appearance of commercial area’ and abandoned the business community and the development of a commercial village centre in the C1 zone.”

He continues by saying that the senior housing project is a “fundamental error” in planning as the mass and scale and density of the structure is out of all proportion for the street and future use of that street. “The structure will encroach upon the present access and parking to one of the most aesthetically pleasing and healthy envi• See SENIOR’S PROJECT page 7

1916: Bridge built across Kettle near Gilpin 1906 In the city health report for 1905 there were 92 cases of typhoid recorded with two deaths, nine cases of chickenpox and 22 cases of measles — no deaths were recorded for either sickness.

1911 A lengthy discussion on the meter system, in connection with the sale of electricity, was settled by the council. Meters would be placed in the residences of all consumers.

1916 A 185-foot bridge was built across the Kettle River, near Gilpin, to accommodate the ranchers living on the other side.

1921 E.D. Sheringham, on a visit to Grand Forks after some 30 years, remarked on the town’s change and considerable improvement. Old landmarks were gone as he tried to locate the log cabin where he lived on the North Fork.

1926 CPR went into construction of a $20,000 steel bridge across the North Fork of the Kettle River near the Hummingbird crossing.

1931 The rate of tax levy for the city was raised to $35 million, five more than the past several years.

1936 The wasting of water became a serious problem locally so that the city had to send out a special man to investigate water usage by residents.

1941 Dr. Geo. H. Acres, a well-known veterinary surgeon and former mayor, died in Penticton at the age of 59.

THE BC MINISTER OF FINANCE HAS ANNOUNCED SEVERAL CHANGES TO THE PROPERTY TRANSFER TAX PROGRAM, EFFECTIVE WEDNESDAY, WHICH INCLUDE:

• a property transfer tax exemption for Canadian citizens and permanent residents who purchase newly-built homes, condos and townhouses under $750,000. Purchasers must live in the property for at least one year. This is a potential savings in closing costs of up to $13,000; • a one percent increase in property transfer tax to three percent for homes which are sold over the $2 million mark; • the first time home buyers exemption will remain in place for homes under $475,000; • buyers will need to start disclosing their country of residence in all property transactions; • the beneficial ownership of properties held by corporations will also be tracked.

2001 Grand Forks lost a little history this week and now that it’s gone, nobody’s sure what it was in the first place.

Crews demolished a building behind the courthouse: the concrete block stood about 12 feet long and seven feet wide with a decayed roof about seven feet high. Government Agent Dan Martin said the structure was apparently from the 1960s, speculating that it was a bomb shelter for the nuclear threat of the time.

The two-foot thick walls definitely lent themselves to the concept, as did the bare, cold interior.

The B.C. Building Commission records, however, show the building had actually been used as a munitions storage depot by the provincial police before it handed jurisdiction over to the RCMP on Aug. 15, 1950. Its full history remains a mystery.

2006 GFSS graduate Scott Alan deWynterWilkie posed for a photograph with B.C. Lieutenant Governor Iona Campagnolo and Premier Gordon Campbell; deWynter-Wilkie, along with 16 other recipients from around the province, was presented with the Premier’s Excellence Award in recognition of academic excellence and outstanding community service.

2011 There’s a good possibility water meters will be coming to your homes in the near future. According to the city’s Manager of Technical Services and Utilities Sasha Bird, meters will be phased in.

The proposal to send an application to the province for funding to pay for the installation of the meters was put through at a council meeting earlier in February.

Drought not likely this summer CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

This year is a far cry from last year when it comes to snow. Although it has been milder recently, the Boundary received a great deal of snow in November, December and January, much to the delight of skiing fans and other outdoor enthusiasts.

In fact, according to the B.C. River Forecast Centre, the Boundary’s snow basin is at 114 per cent of normal as of Feb. 1.

Environment Canada meteorologist Matt MacDonald said that the last week in the Southern Interior has been very mild with daytime highs approaching 8° and 9° C. “That’s a full four to five degrees warmer than normal. That’s quite typical for El Nino,” he said. “It is a record strong El Nino this winter. The way this winter started out, I think a lot of people were wondering where El Nino was. But it’s actually quite textbook the way it’s played out.”

MacDonald said the effects of El Nino are usually not felt until mid-January. “It was actually right on schedule,” he said. “Jan. 15 we saw our first atmospheric river, or as people more commonly refer to it as, the pineapple express. Since then it’s been very mild. Looking at Cranbrook (the closest weather station to Grand Forks) it’s been three degrees warmer over the last 30 days.”

A pineapple express is a strong feed of tropical moisture originating from the vicinity of Hawaii hence the name tropical. MacDonald says it’s a very strong and steady jet stream that sets up between 24 ad 48 hours and delivers copious amounts of rain as well as heat. “So very high freezing levels,” he said.

El Nino is warmer than normal ocean temperatures down in the equitorial Pacific. “When we look at how warm or cold the ocean is near the equator in the Pacific Ocean—this year is much warmer than usual,” said MacDonald. “In fact, it’s the warmest it’s been in the last 65 years since El Nino records first began in 1950.”

MacDonald says that means that B.C. can expect warmer than normal conditions. “As far as precipitation,

there’s really not a strong, consistent signal,” he said. “If you look at historically strong El Ninos there are winters when it’s been wetter than normal and there are winters where it’s been dryer than normal. So you can’t say whether it will be dryer or wetter because it’s El Nino but we can say with confidence than El Nino winters are warmer than normal and the spring will most likely be warmer than normal as well.”

MacDonald said El Nino peaked at the end of January and is slowly starting to fizzle. He added there is good consensus from the various climate models that B.C. will enter neutral mode for ocean temperatures.

“If you think of what we can expect in spring, well it’s typically a bit of everything,” he said. “People say, hey is winter over, can I put away my shovel and take off my snow tires?

I would say not yet. We’ll be into another warm system this week and we’ll see day time highs of 8° and 9° C. The old saying ‘March comes in like a lion’ is so true. You can expect anything in March, be it heavy rain or heavy snow and an arctic outbreak may not be out of the question.”

Enjoy the mild weather which will most likely continue into spring and summer, says MacDonald. “Weather being what it is, is highly variable.”

MacDonald said with the increased snowpack it doesn’t look like the Boundary will have a repeat of the drought conditions from last year.

“Last summer was kind of the perfect storm for a drought,” he said. “We had little to no snow in the alpine and record dry weather in April and May. So we had no snow to melt and no water falling from the sky. This year we already have higher than normal snowpack in the mountains. Inevitably we’re losing some slowly with these warmer temperatures and high freezing levels but as we get into the spring, people next ask the potential flooding.”

MacDonald said there are lots of different factors that come into play before determining the chance of flooding. “I say with confidence I don’t think drought will be a factor this year taking into consideration how well set up we are,” he said.

Big talk about little things What started as a small circle of chairs in anticipation of a cozy group talking about small housing turned into an overflow of chairs as some 70 people showed up at a presentation last week of the Grand Forks and District Public Library’s “Let’s Talk…” series. Facilitated by designer/ builder Peter Matheson, the conversation focused on small housing, downsizing, cluster housing and eco-zoning; it prompted a large variety of questions ranging from zoning to heating to cost.

The conversation is just getting started, Matheson confirmed.

CRA scammers don’t quit Gazette Staff

RCMP and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) raise awareness about ongoing email and phone scams.

Recently a citizen of Grand Forks was contacted by a scammer who posed as an agent for the CRA, reported Sgt. Jim Fenske of the Grand Forks RCMP Detachment.

The scammer demanded money for back taxes, fines and a fee. The scammer told the citizen that the RCMP would be contacting the citizen if he did not pay.

Later the citizen got a phone call using the Grand Forks RCMP phone number on his call display. “These scammers are using the RCMP phone number as a form of intimidation. This is a scam,” Fenske said.

The scammers tell taxpayers that they either owe money to the CRA or have a tax refund. Taxpayers are threatened with arrest or jail time if they do not take immediate action and provide money or

personal or financial information.

“The CRA takes these matters very seriously and provides substantial information to Canadians about how to protect themselves from scams undertaken using the CRA’s name. Informing yourself is particularly important during the tax filing season, when such scams peak,” said the Honourable Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of National Revenue, in a press release last week.

This information, including examples of real scam telephone calls and e-mails, can be easily found on the CRA web site.

“Scammers are always looking for new ways to get your money or your personal information,” warned Assistant Commissioner Todd Shean, who leads the RCMP’s Federal Policing Special Services. “The RCMP works every day to track down fraudsters and bring them to justice, but raising awareness about fraud is also important as it is

one of the most effective ways of protecting Canadians from scammers. The more you know about a specific fraud, the less likely you’ll be a victim of that fraud.”

The RCMP plays a crucial role in educating the public about scams, and has a number of programs in place to track fraud, including one run by the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC).

To confirm the authenticity of a call, contact the CRA by using its official telephone number for individual tax enquiries: 1-800-959-8281. You can also verify your individual tax account through a secure CRA portal: My Account.

If you believe you may be the victim of fraud or have given personal or financial information in error, contact your local police service and your financial institution.

The Grand Forks RCMP Detachment has free booklets to give away which contain lots of information regarding the popular scams, Fenske added.

Planning crucial

Having proper senior’s housing in the Boundary is a very important issue. Our population is aging. We are also a popular destination for retirees with our great weather and beautiful setting. It’s important that we have enough affordable housing for all.

The senior’s housing project in Christina Lake; however, has become a very contentious issue that has split the community.

There have been two public hearings at the community hall there since Christmas that have had 70-80 people out voicing their opinions.

Those opposed say it is a violation of the Official Community Plan and will take away a very important park, which grants access to the creek and the lake itself.

Fortunately, the powers that be have decided to step back and not make any decisions until a park management plan can be formulated.

It’s important to remember that even after many years, the senior’s housing project is still in its infancy. Anything involved isn’t cheap and requires many hoops and barrels to go through and around.

The past can make us richer today

Reckonings DELLA MALLETTE I’m sure everyone would agree that history is important in that there are lessons to be learned from the past. We don’t pay enough attention, though, and we seem doomed to repeat many of those mistakes.

Some people become interested in history just simply because it’s fascinating seeing the differences from yesteryear to today.

Some people don’t care much at all.

My friend Rita, with whom I travelled to Europe last summer, doesn’t watch TV or read newspapers—she’s happy living in the “now” and not worrying about what’s happening in the news. When I first reconnected with Rita a few years ago, I couldn’t understand that. After

she explained that she’s a thirdtime survivor of cancer, I got it.

However, seeing historical sites on our trip was something that impacted us both. The medieval town of Provins, about an hour by train from Paris, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001 and here we wandered for hours marvelling at the buildings dating back to the 11th century.

The narrow streets, the city wall, the imposing but beautiful castle—apparently Provins is not that unique, but it certainly gave us an idea of how town life has changed.

Standing on the crater of Mount Vesuvius and looking out over the lush fields and Gulf of Naples laid out below us was mind-blowing. Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in AD 79 that led to the burying and destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and several other settlements. To see the lushness of the area, but to

know that it’s considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, made us think of how a natural disaster wiped out— and could so easily again—tens of thousands of people, perhaps hundreds of thousands.

We visited the ruins of Pompeii, the “touristy” section at least. The whole site is several kilometres wide and we weren’t quite that ambitious. But to see the foundations of buildings such as the bath house (but not the snack bar/store, of course), to see areas under excavation to this day, brought it home to us B.C. girls that what we take a lot for granted—private bathrooms for one!

Both the Boundary Historical Society and the Boundary Museum and Interpretive Centre do an amazing job of highlighting history in the Boundary and beyond, from conflict and hardship to transportation and housing. I attended the historical society’s anniversary luncheon

From an individual’s life, we can learn. Society president Les Johnson gave a vignette of a video session—a “living book”—with long-time resident Frank Wolfram. Years ago, the horses would be brought down to the town to winter, I learned; I’m sure Mr. Wolfram has much more to say in the video and I hope one day to watch it all.

Frank Wolfram passed away shortly after making the video.

Far less poignant but interesting nonetheless was the draft of a presentation about the Camp McKinney robbery of 1896. What a fascinating story! The takeaway? There’s gold in them thar hills! The gold bars stolen in the infamous robbery were never recovered.

I reckon history can teach us, it can enlighten us, and it can make us richer—in more ways than one!

Opinion

to the editor

Wildlife is harming no one Editor, The Gazette: Well, it has made the headlines. The Deer Committee has been dissolved and none too soon. It was a total fiasco from the very beginning.

This valley has been the deer’s winter range for a millennium of years. They do not respect any boundaries and go where they please and need no tracking device to find their way yet there are deer still roaming with

those damn devices draped about their necks. To me that is unadulterated cruelty and must be removed now if not sooner. Those that instituted this should have them placed about their necks and left there until they fall off as they claim they shall eventually.

Neither do I see how they will fall off they are bolted on and serving no purpose but chafing the poor creature’s neck raw.

No doubt it cost money to have them installed and it will cost money to have them removed. The taxpayer should not be held to account. Those that instituted this program should be held accountable to suffer the cost.

Let the wildlife go free.

They are harming nothing and no one.

F. Duralia, Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette: The Grand Forks ATV Club continues to work hard promoting responsible use of the environment and respect for wildlife.

Morrissey Creek, Lost Lake and Nature Trust Property, all located close to Grand Forks, are great examples of areas where responsible use of the environment and respect for wildlife are happening each day. Many users stay on the trail enjoying the area while observing the many species that can be found on the southern facing slopes.

This is a sensitive area receiving the benefits of early snow melt warming the soil supporting growth of native grasses and flowers which provide the wildlife much needed sustenance. This early spring condition unfortunately draws some that enjoy going off trails and mud bog-

ging, activities that are very damaging to the environment and many wildlife species.

How best to try and curtail this activity? New regulations to the Off Road Vehicle Act requiring registration and a decal or plate to be placed on all off road vehicles will indeed help identify the few that seek the destructive activity of going off trail or mud bogging.

More enforcement by RCMP or Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations would help but enforcement should only be used when education has failed or been ignored.

Would fencing reduce the temptation or just increase the resolve? Perhaps if there was a recognized location where activities such as hill climbs and mud bogging could be encouraged. Would this help if located in an area where this would not affect the environ-

ment and wildlife?

You can help by staying on the trails, showing respect for the environment and wildlife, big or small, and by talking to your children and setting a good example. If you see folks succumbing to temptation, take a picture and send or drop off the information to the RCMP, who have the tools to deal with repeat offenders, or call TIPS 1-844 NRO-TIPS (676-8477) and the RAPP line 1-877-952-7277.

Regarding public dirt roads, there are a few of these roads that have been designated public roads due to folks living on them. The Off Road Act does not legally allow off road vehicles to travel on these roads. The first 720 metres of Morrissey Forest Service Road is a public road.

If you drive on this section of road you can receive fines.

We need a ‘community day’ Editor, The Gazette: Glad greetings and good news for everyone! Winter is on the wane and spring is on the way! It won’t be long before the long warm sunny days are here to stay.

Even so, one might say that we are still stuck in the middle of the season of our discontent in the City of Grand Forks.

Various city and civic actions and events have cast a black pall over the community in recent years: like a black cloud blotting out the sun in our happy little valley.

At times it seems as though the community is suffering from a general malaise like the common cold or a flu epidemic leading to an unhappy and

TRUMBO

In 1947, Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) was Hollywood’s top screenwriter until he and other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs. TRUMBO (directed by Jay Roach) recounts how Dalton used words and wit to win two Academy Awards and expose the absurdity and injustice of the blacklist, which entangled everyone from gossip columnist Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren) to John Wayne, Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger. The film also stars Diane Lane, John Goodman, Louis C.K., Elle Fanning, and Michael Stuhlbarg.

A winter nostalgia For the last three years, I have done what so many snowbirds do and have “escaped” Canadian winters by spending them under a palm tree in Mexico.

The predictable landscapes of cold, grey and cloistered living have eagerly been exchanged for blue skies, sunshine and sandal-friendly temperatures. Natural year-round rhythms Waxing of life “alfresco”—bikes, mopeds, outdoor kitchens, art studios, patios, Lyrical hammocks, umbrellaed shade, markets, fishing boats, street festivals and J. KATHLEEN THOMPSON parades, blooming bougainvillea, ripening coconuts—all are perennial features of a southern, tropical clime.

But while the local population may take this way of life for granted, the northerners are out there con gusto, from sun-up walks on the beach to sunset margaritas on the rooftop terrace—mindful of what they have left behind back north.

Curiously, after three years, a nostalgia for what I had left behind had grown and I wanted to give myself a chance to re-experience a Canadian winter. I was feeling disconnected from my Canadian roots, almost like I was betraying my identity as a northerner by slipping into the ease of southern living We are a hardy stock, we Canadians, and we take irrational pride in owning our unfriendly winters and unhuggable terrain.

We can withstand what others cannot and we’ve learned how to nudge beauty out of harsh landscapes and “God’s frozen people.” I was game to put the parka back on again, and rejoin my compatriots this year!

Yes, after two months of reliving a Canadian winter, there is much to appreciate about the experience and to admire about my fellow Canadian’s toughness. The hunkering down process of stockpiling provisions and diversions to heat, clothe, feed and amuse ourselves while housebound has a particular appeal to it knowing we can take some smug satisfaction in being a self-sufficient lot! And we take special care in preparing things that may help to warm a long winters night —strings of white lights, candles, firelight, an assortment of teas and soup recipes. Cocooning in the evenings with a good book, a film or a friend are the ultimate consolation prizes of enduring inhospitable weather. And those projects you have always wanted to finish—the quilt, the woodcarving, writing that book, learning that Beethoven sonata? There’s not a better time to do it than when you are well and deep into hibernation.

Then there is the joy of knowing that when you do venture outside, all those colourful woollen hats, mitts and sturdy fur-topped boots which you have dug out of your trusty winter chest will serve you well on the trails and give you a sense of communion with other winter hardy folk.

But without a doubt, there is nothing on earth as peaceful, as magical as being wrapped in a full-on snowfall. When the world of industrial grey and unending dull evergreen around you succomb to an unrelenting wash of white, and by morning, you are knee-deep on a snow Russian steppe, waiting for Omar Shariff to arrive. How precious the time to embrace this world before the “vast and soundless similitude that interlocks all” (thank you, Walt Whitman!) disappears under the blades of shovels, blowers, plows..... and rain and warming air, and the return of the ubiquitous grey fog, and a world that just wants to get back on its feet again. Those spells happen so seldom now—with global warming, winters have become less intense and more middling in nature. Now the rare time-stopping snowfalls are couched in days, weeks, even months of uneventful weather.

And while our winters have been particularly affected, you could say the same about all our seasons now; with a 90-day spring, summer or fall season, it seems that only 20 days in any of them are legitimately seasonal in character. Are true white northern winters in the Boundary a thing of the past? Will our nostalgia for four distinct seasons remain a yearning for something that can never be re-experienced? I suppose there could be worse things than what is shaping up to be a 120-day long spring!

J. Kathleen Thompson has resided beside the Monashees for 16 years and waxes lyrical about the Boundary, travel, culture and living life ‘con gusto’

Letters to the editor

Thank you for helping couple Editor, The Gazette: You may recollect the front page article in the Gazette a few weeks ago about the devastating house fire experienced by pensioners Kevin and Kathleen Coughlan, whose poor health was exacerbated by this frightful trauma.

Their neighbours are to be applauded for showing true community spirit in the days immediately following this fire. I don’t know the names of most of them; but I would like to commend Rosemary Phillips, in particular, for giving them somewhere to eat and sleep for a few days.

Also I would like to thank those members of the community at large who came into the Credit Union to make a financial contribution.

So far over $1,200 has been donated and it will definitely help in easing the pain of their loss. It is never too late to add to this amount and it would be very much appreciated. Please mention to the staff at the Grand Forks Credit Union that you wish to make a donation to the special account set up in my name for Kevin and Kathleen Coughlan.

On behalf of Kevin and Kathleen, I would like to thank all the agencies involved in helping them during these last few weeks, and to you in the community who have contributed in some form or other to help alleviate some of the stress incurred in this tragic event.

Peter Smith, Grand Forks

Community day Continued from page 5

and woes. Suffice to say this situation has had quite a detrimental effect upon the emotional, psychological, spiritual health and wellbeing of many residents as well as the city as a whole.

It’s fair to say that the long grey gloomy days of winter also have a negative and detrimental effect on one’s health, happiness and well being in general. Some of the most common ailments of the season include lethargy and lack of exercise, seclusion and isolation, overeating, overdrinking, oversleeping, low spirits, irritability and even depression. Good personal health and wellness is always a challenge in the dark cold days in the depths of winter.

So what are we to do? Is there some remedy or recourse that could be helpful? Something more pleasant, palatable and beneficial in this case?

There isn’t any simple answer; no magic pill or marvelous elixir that can cure all of the ills of society or humanity. Perhaps all we need is a good “spring tonic.” A liberal libation of something to strengthen and revitalize the constitution. Something that will warm our hearts and raise our spirits in the midst of this mishmash of matters.

What is the answer? A proposal for the development of a community day in late February or March. A spring fling may be just the thing needed to put us on the road to recovery. This event could be the first steps on the pathway leading to restoration of peace and tranquility, balance and harmony, goodwill and grace and hope and joy needed for a fresh start in the new year.

Spring is the time for revival and renewal when the whole world returns to life with a great burst of energy and enthusiasm. A “celebration of spring” would lead us out of the dreary days of winter into the warm, sunny days of spring with a bright shiny future waiting just around the bend.

Any responses on the subject may be forwarded to myself at 7610 22nd Ave., Grand Forks, or phone 250-442-3023.

Senior’s project Continued from page 1

ronments in the park and one of the most desirable swimming areas on the property shoreline.”

Grace McGregor, Christina Lake/Area C director for the RDKB, told the Gazette Monday that she would be asking at the next RKDB board meeting for a deferral of any decision regarding the senior’s housing project.

“I will be requesting deferral of any decision on this until we have a chance to do a park management plan,” said McGregor.

“We’re feeling that people haven’t read all the information and don’t have all the information. We think it’s important to have a plan in place and that will then involve more public conversation.”

McGregor said the input received at the hearing was both positive and negative towards the project. “At the end of the day, the senior’s housing committee wants the community to completely understand what they’ve done and what the information is and they would like to see a park management plan in place,” she said.

McGregor would not comment on what the timelines behind a park management plan would be or who would formulate it until it had gone to the RDKB board.

A former RDKB Area C director, Joe Tatangelo, said it would be a shame to lose that parkland so close to the creek. “It’s a nice park and people use it and all of sudden they want to put senior’s housing there with no information,” he said. “We have hardly any information on what they’re going to do and how they’re going to do it.”

Tatangelo said he is not opposed to senior’s housing but adds that when you rezone a piece of parkland you open it up for development. “If the senior’s housing group doesn’t have enough money, then what happens?” he said. “Then it’s rezoned for parkland for seniors housing. That means someone else could come in and take over. We don’t want it in the parkland, period. There are plenty of other properties at Christina Lake that could be used.”

Tatangelo said there are many different species of animals that use the parkland.

“We want to protect it,” he said. “I don’t think that’s the place to put it. There are animals and birds that use it. That’s the only piece of parkland that people can get to that’s accessible to the lake. We don’t want to lose that accessibility.”

Tatangelo added that he and his predecessor Ron Walker worked hard to protect the park. “We started on the trails building the benches and now they’re trying to lose the park,” he said. “We worked like heck to keep that park pristine for the people to use, walk through and enjoy it and have access to the creek and the lake. Now we’re in danger of losing it.”

Kathy O’Malley, president of the Christina Lake Seniors Housing Society, told the Gazette that they appreciate the level of engagement in the process. “This is the fifth iteration of a plan for seniors housing at Christina Lake,” she said. “This plan is based on all the input of the community from the previous proposals. We have a commitment to listen and we have listened.

That’s why the society has recommended that the RDKB undertake a park management plan as part of the scheduled OCP development.”

O’Malley said the society will continue to engage in community processes with the goal of having affordable housing at the Lake.

McGregor’s deferral request is expected to be heard by the board at the next meeting of the RDKB Thursday in Trail.

Projects get budget approval COUNCIL BRIEFS

By Della Mallette

Grand Forks City Council met for its regular meeting on Monday, Feb. 15.

Bylaw passes third reading Council gave third reading to Zoning Amendment Bylaw 1606-A4, 2016, which amends the current zoning bylaw by rezoning property located at 6401 Highway 3 from the current Tourist Commerical zone to the Highway Commercial zone.

The property is 1.67 hectares (4.12 acres) in size and the rear lot line abuts the Kettle River. The adjacent property on the east side is zoned Highway Commercial; the property on the west side is Tourist Commercial.

Water main project gets early budget approval Council unanimously agreed to give early budget approval for the Fifth Street

water main replacement project, estimated to cost $575,000 to be funded from the Community Works Gas Tax Fund.

In the summer of 2011 the city became aware that one of the water mains crossing the river at Fifth Street had failed.

Before the failure, the south side of the community was serviced by two water mains at the Fifth Street location, along with a third main under the Kettle River at Riverside Drive. “After the failure of the main, the city discerned that the second water main at the Fifth Street location was also at risk, in this it was exposed and lying on the bed of the Kettle River,” reads the background information.

Council considered two options: installing a replacement main under the river bed, or having it cross the river on the Darrell J. Priede Bridge. Coun-

Motion to receive a draft letter to the regional district about seeking financial support for the Grand Forks Airport. cil chose the second option.

Sewer main repair gets early budget approval Council also gave early budget approval for the Third Street sewer main repair project with an estiamted cost of $150,000 to be funded from capital reserves.

“The Third Street sewer main between Market Avenue and Central Avenue has presented numerous challenges over the past several years, necessitating constant maintenance and monitoring,” the backgrounder states. “The importance of early budget approval revolves around seasonal water table levels.

With the location of this repair and the congestion of utilities in the area,

the budget amount could have a large variance depending on issues that may be uncovered.”

Pump and motor project gets nod Also receiving early budget approval was the Well #3 pump and motor with VFD (variable frequency drive) and building modifications project with an estimated cost of $100,000 to be funded from Capital Reserves. Well #3 is one of the city’s largest capacity wells with some of the oldest equipment which is approximately 30+ years old.

The importance of early budget approval is in the manufacturing timeline of eight weeks for the motor, the increase in seasonal water demand in May and the need to meet

fire flow requirements.

Resolution received Council simply received the information from the City of Port Coquitlam resolving “that the federal government’s Build Canada grant program, National Infrastructure component, be amended to fund a minimum of 50 per cent of the project cost”; and further, “that the provincial funding contribution for significant projects be a minimum of 40 per cent of the project cost.”

Councillor Neil Krog said that although the resolution sounds good on the surface, the current one third formula between federal, provincial and civic governments actually amounts to more money available.

City to work on draft to appeal to RDKB for airport funding cussed a draft letter to the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) from the deputy manager With an annual operating defi- of operations about seeking financit of over $93,000 for the airport cial support for the airport.

The letter states: “The City of over the last three years, council is looking at asking the RDKB to Grand Forks is seeking financial pony up for financial support for support from the RDKB regarding the operation of the area airport, the Grand Forks Airport.

At the regular council meet- as it provides considerable servicing on Feb. 15, council received a es to the regional district.”

The correspondence also inreport from Dan Drexler, deputy manager of operations, and dis- cludes data for medevac use at the airport.

Come out and share your comments and views on the 2016 Budget and on what kind of local government services you believe would make Electoral Area ’D’/ Rural Grand Forks a better place.

WHEN: 6:30 PM - TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 2016 WHERE: USCC HALL 6140 COMMUNITY CENTRE ROAD, GRAND FORKS, B.C. Director Roly Russell 250-584-4677 rrussell@rdkb.com Maureen Forster, Executive Assistant 250-368-0235 1-800-355-7352 mforster@rdkb.com

flights for the airport with 35 and 42 respectively. Some ambulance transports from far away as Creston and Kaslo have utilized the Grand Forks Airport in the past.

While the Castlegar airport sees an average of 40 per cent weather-related cancellations with a high of 61 per cent (January 2010) for flights during the winter. Grand Forks’ weather and airport location historically has been much more favourable with an annual average of 15 per cent cancellations. This allows for medevac flights that were originally scheduled for the Kootenays to be rerouted to Grand Forks and allows for the transport of regional residents to larger medical centres.

The Grand Forks Airport is the only airport between Kelowna and Cranbrook that is equipped with equipment necessary for night time medevac flights. The correspondence stated that over the last three years, the Grand Forks Airport operated at an annual deficit of roughly $93,300, which does not include any asset management-related savings for major asset repairs and upgrades.

The biggest yearly expenses are cost of fuel at $45,603, administration at $35,610, and lighting and navigation at $23,575.

The conclusion of the correspondence state that: “In summary, the airport is a major hub for the Kootenay Boundary region as a medevac airport for day and night time flights. It also served in 2015 as the primary helicopter attack base to battle the wild fires in the Boundary and will continue to be used for this purpose most likely in the future. The Grand Forks Airport benefits the entire Kootenay Boundary region; however, only the residents of the City of Grand forks financially support the operations, maintenance and management of the asset that is the Grand Forks Airport through general taxation. The City of Grand Forks requests that the RDKB annually supports the Grand Forks Airport operations as of the 2017 calendar year of: half of the annual total operating expenses of the airport.”

Following the presentation to council by Drexler, Councillor Neil Krog made a motion to receive the information and said he

would like to provide more input as it is still in draft form before it goes to the RDKB. Councillor Hammett said she was surprised that this was the first time the city had gone to the RDKB for funding.

“We didn’t have the statistical information we have now,” answered CAO Doug Allin. “It wasn’t really understood what our operating costs were. The deputy manager has done a good job of demonstrating where the costs have been coming from.”

Krog stated that regional district directors and staff in Trail and area don’t really care about the Grand Forks Fly-in and other events mentioned in the proposal that are specific to our area because they have their own. He added that Trail Airport has a better track record of landings than Castlegar, which is in a different regional district area (Central Kootenay) so “they’re not going to buy it.”

“You’re going to have one shot at this, that’s why it hasn’t been done up to this point,” said Krog.

“It has to be perfect to be sold.”

YOU AND YOUR MONEY $$

No worries...

thanks to competent professionals Are you one of those people who are easily worried about their finances? With the present economic situation, it’s becoming more and more complex and difficult to efficiently manage our finances, our estate and our investments. This can be a real headache, a task which some people can lose sleep over.

There is no magic formula to transform the management of our finances into an easy and foolproof undertaking. But consulting competent professionals can certainly help to simplify things and make them less onerous.

What kind of professionals are we talking about? Perhaps a good financial advisor or planner can help you sort out your financial situation and take the necessary measures either to correct a difficult situation or to help you achieve your objectives.

An efficient accountant will assist you in the sensible management of your affairs while limiting the amount of income taxes to be paid. A reputable financial institution will be able to meet your credit needs, offering the right product for your particular situation.

Other resources could also be of use: a good insurance broker to give you the protection you need as well as a real estate agent who can advise and help you during the purchase or the sale of your home.

Together, all these people, all these resources, can provide you with a valuable support system and can greatly simplify the management of your finances. This is the road to take to avoid problems... and to get a good night’s sleep.

Scam Alert!

This is another reminder to be aware of creative fraudsters. Recently a client came to us with an email they received from “Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)”.

The email claimed they were entitled to a refund from the filing of their personal income tax return. The email stated they could obtain the refund through direct deposit by clicking on an attached link and entering their bank account information.

The link brought them to a site that looked in every way like the actual CRA website. It was very convincing. Luckily, in this case the client was suspicious, and came to us for clarification.

This email was a scam.

It is important to remember that CRA will never request information from you through email or text messaging. They will only contact you by mail or phone.

If you are not sure about the authenticity of a call or letter it is best to phone CRA at 1-800-959-8281 to ensure it is ~ submitted by Kemp Harvey Burch Kientz Inc. legitimate.

& Interpretive Centre

Public health nurses in Grand Forks will be moving from the Glanville Centre by Perley Elementary and will be relocated to the old Cash Store building this spring. The move is not sitting well with representatives from Boundary Family and Individual Services Society (BFISS), who like having a “one-stop shop” in their Glanville location.

James Wilson, executive director for BFISS, said he received official notification on Feb. 5 that the public health nurses would be moving to another location. “They (Interior Health) felt it was part of their mandate to start pairing up with other services in the area such as adult mental health.

They needed a new building and new partners and they felt being closer to the doctor’s building would be better to the people in the community.”

Wilson said having the public health nurses in their building was a big advantage for BFISS in providing a wellrounded array of shared services. “It’s part of the partners we have which includes the school district,” he said. “We have this collaborative working agreement that offer services to our clientele. We answer questions about sexual health to questions about their baby or questions in

general—we can always call on the nurses to come help. It helps feed the programs and serve the contracts. A lot of the contracts talk about the collaboration we have and now we don’t, so that could hurt some potential contracts in the future.”

Wilson said the groups are also able to cost share and work together, which keeps costs down for all the groups. “I guess they didn’t think that was important,” he said. “It impacts a lot of people in this community.”

Wilson said he also expects that students at the high school will be impacted. “They used to be able to come across from the high school to our building to get help where it’s confidential and a safe environment,” he said. “Now they will have to get downtown to this new location and the chances of that happening are slim.”

A statement from the BFISS board of directors dated Feb. 15 stated, “BFISS would urge Interior Health to reconsider and pursue ways this relationship can be retained. The Boundary Integrated Services Model partnership of social societies and ministerial service agencies is a long proven effective strategy of service provision. The loss of the co-location of public health nursing with BFISS is a significant blow to this model and the BFISS board would encourage a reconsideration of this move.”

Cheryl Whittleton, community integrated health services administrator for Kootenay Boundary, said that IH is still finalizing the details and still needs to do some renovations to the new site and will notify the community when they have a firm date for moving.

“It’s important to clarify that these are public health nurses providing a range of services to all ages, not just children,” she said. “The new location is within a kilometre of the current public health office. All current public health services will be moved to the new location.”

Whittleton said that the current mental health services in Grand Forks will also be moved to this location, which is very close to the primary care physician clinic. “Community members will now be able to access a wide range of services within one block,” she said. “We do have individuals, such as new moms with postpartum depression, who access public health and mental health services in addition to primary care services from a physician.”

Whittleton added that the new location is a larger space for the services IH is providing to the community and is easily accessible on the ground floor.

“Our current locations for both public health and mental health services present challenges for individuals with disabilities or the frail elderly.”

the debris and closed both lanes for about an hour,” said Wright.

“We hope to be full opening with both lanes by 4 p.m. today (Feb. 17) but we may need to go back in tomorrow. We probably won’t remove all the rock today but we’re hoping to do a full opening during the night (starting at 4 p.m.) and close it back to single lane alternating tomorrow morning so we can remove the rest of the debris.”

All work was completed on Friday (Feb. 19) and the highway is open to traffic in both directions.

Wright said it’s not uncommon to have rock slides at this time of year with frozen soil

thawing. “We had a geo tech from the Ministry of Transportation on site yesterday. It’s not just common to our area, it’s throughout the province,” he said. “Water gets into the rocks and freezes over time than thaws creating little void. The rock loses some of it’s strength and that causes the slides.”

Grace McGregor, RDKB Christina Lake/Area C director, said she has spoken to the Ministry of Transportation about the ministry conducting geotech surveys in the area. “They assured me they will do that,” she said. “It looks like there are some unstable things there and we should be concerned.”

Rock slide closes Highway 3

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A rock slide three kilometres east of Christina Lake on Feb. 16 sent debris falling to Highway 3 halting traffic in both direction and knocking the power out. The slide occurred at 7 a.m. and Emcon crews were on scene quickly removing debris.

Traffic was opened to single lane at around 8:30 a.m. Power was restored by FortisBC by the afternoon.

GFI is returning for its 35th event Submitted to the Gazette

The organizing committee is excited to announce that the 35th Grand Forks International (GFI) baseball tournament will be held June 28 July 3 at beautiful James Donaldson Park.

It will be a 12-team tournament.

The lineup of teams is almost complete and will be announced soon. Recently a baseball fan and author from Minneapolis, Minnesota has been in touch with the GFI and shared some interesting thoughts about our tournament and ballpark.

Philip Lowry wrote the book Green Cathedrals which includes references to about 400 ballparks, mostly all over the United States. He is aware of the GFI and wants to know more of its remarkable history.

Even though he has not been to Grand Forks, he said the following: “You are indeed correct that your tournament is the premier summer baseball tournament in North America.”

To realize that this tourney has that kind of reputation way beyond

The Grand Forks Secondary junior girls basketball team had their final tune-up before playoffs on the weekend hosting a tournament with two Kelowna teams.

The GFSS Wolves split into two teams and both won one game and lost one game.

GFSS 1 lost a close 29-28 battle to the Rutland Voodoos on Friday despite nine points from player of the game Victoria Henne.

The team bounced back on Saturday to beat Okanagan Mission 49-24 with 14 points from Elizabeth Henne and 10 points from Victoria Henne.

GFSS 2 had similar results with a 35-29 win over Okanagan Mission (OKM) led by 11 points from Alexandra Henne and eight points from Portia Dagg. In their last game, the Wolves lost to Rutland 45-23 with Ariana Clark scoring seven points.

“It was a good chance to play some good teams from outside our zone,” said coach

our area is both exhilarating and humbling.

He has seen only photos of our outstanding facility and yet commented, “I absolutely love the asymmetry of (James) Donaldson Park.

That is the way ballparks are supposed to be. They need a character and soul that no astro-turfed domed symmetrical park can ever give.”

The Grand Forks International and James Donaldson Park are well known far beyond our community.

Thousands of baseball fans and players from all over the globe have travelled here since 1975 because of this classic event.

Another author and Canada’s first Parliamentary Poet Laureate, George Bowering, was a special guest at the GFI a decade ago. He wrote in his marvellous book Baseball Love, “Grand Forks is home to the greatest baseball tournament in the world.”

Coordinator of the 35th Grand Forks International, Gerry Foster, said, “Let’s not take it for granted. It’s a gem and is vital to our area.”

Watch for ongoing announcements and news about the upcoming GFI.

Craig Lindsay. “It was also great to be able to split our big team (15 players) into two squads so everyone got to play a lot. It was a good experience. Players got to try some different roles and work with different teammates.”

Although both Kelowna teams were grade 9, they had some very tall players which

face the winner of Stanley Humphries of Castlegar and Salmo. Top seeded L.V. Rogers of Nelson plays the winner of Boundary Central and J.L. Crowe in the other semifinal.

“We’ve had a good season and really improved,” said Lindsay. “We beat Castlegar handily last week but we have lost to them so we can’t take them They have It was a good chance lightly. some good shooters and decent size. Our to play some good pressure defence teams from outside will need to be solid both full court and our zone. half court.”

Lindsay said that gave GFSS tough match-ups. Nelson is the team to beat.

“We’re used to being the tall- “We lost to them both times est team out there with five we’ve played them,” he said. players over 5’9 but Rutland “They have good speed and and OKM both had 6’3 girls,” pass the ball well.

Poker ride will be in Brousseau’s memory SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

The Boundary Snowmobile Club will be hosting its inaugural running of the Dave Brousseau Memorial Poker Ride on Sunday, Feb. 28.

Boundary Snowmobile Club (BSC) members and guests will be gathering at the bottom of Pass Creek Road up the North Fork valley for a day bound for fun and adventure as parties ride up to the Pass Creek cabin, scoring the best poker hands to determine the day’s winner.

This is a fundraising event for the BSC with all proceeds going towards the maintenance and building of new/existing trails and cabins within the local riding areas, said club presi-

dent Derrick Pankoff.

The BSC is a non-profit organization and currently operates three wilderness cabins and numerous trails throughout the riding areas. The club strives to promote safe and sensitive operation of snowmobiles in the backcountry and on the trails This year’s event includes a tribute to long-time Grand Forks resident and local pioneer of mountain sledding Dave Brousseau, who perished in an avalanche in 2008.

Sign up starts at 9 a.m. till 10:30 a.m. at the bottom of Pass Creek Road (20 kilometres up North Fork Road to Brown Creek Road). There will be food and prizes available at the cabin. Everyone is welcome.

Heart failure affects 600,000 Canadians and another 50,000 will be diagnosed this year, according to stats reports.

According to the Canadian Physical Activity guide, adults between the ages of 18 to 64 should accumulate at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous-intensity physical activity per week.

That means getting out and completing a brisk walk or bike ride.

There is still time to get out and try snowshoeing or take up cross country skiing before the snow melts away.

At least try to get your heart rate up for a minimum of 30 minutes a day.

February is Heart and Stroke month and GFREC would like you to join the Jazzercise instructors along with the yoga instructor to help raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

The Fitness Fun Fundraiser event includes one hour of Jazzercise exercises geared to get your heart pumping.

No experience necessary and everyone is welcome. Donations will be accepted at the

Some women tend to stick to a particular fitness routine that usually does not include lifting weights like dumbbells or kettle bells. Why? There is a perception one may become “big and bulky” or resemble the cartoon the Hulk.

This is not necessarily the case; in fact, women lack a certain balance of hormones, testosterone and growth hormones to put on muscle mass

the way men do. By differing in hormone levels, women are naturally more lean and feminine.

Maintaining a fit and strong body allows your muscles to better support you throughout the day. Muscle mass helps you prevent and avoid serious back pain, have stronger bones, and improve your posture, balance and coordination. Lifting weights has several advantages to your overall body health and strength.

The Border Bruins are making their first playoff appearance in 19 years after finishing third in the Neil Murdoch Division. The Bruins finished the last week of the season with a 5-4 overtime win over Castlegar at home on Feb. 16 and then followed that up with a 5-4 overtime loss also at home on Friday. Grand Forks was supposed to finish the season off at home Sunday with an afternoon game against Nelson but the Leafs defaulted due to not having enough players giving the Bruins the win.

The Bears ended the regular season just one game under .500 with 23 wins-24 losses-0 ties-5 overtime losses good for 51 points. The record gives the team the third place spot in the Neil Murdoch, 18 points behind their first round opponent the second place team from Castlegar (32-15-3-0-2).

By comparison, last season’s Border Bruins ended with eight wins and 40 losses for 20 points and fifth and last place in the Neil Murdoch 32 points behind fourth place Nelson.

That marks a 31-point, 15-win improvement for the Bruins in one season.

Bruins head coach Emery Olauson said the team is playing well and working hard in practice preparing for the Rebels. “Really in the second

Reignite time-honoured values Lately I’ve been spending time on the computer entering ancestry data that I inherited from my grandmother into a digital family tree program.

It’s a labour of love that I’ve been avoiding for years, but this winter seemed like the right time to finally start digging into the long-overdue project replete with long-lost relatives’ names, birth and death dates, and interesting anecdotal stories, much of it painstakingly handrecorded on rolled up scrolls of paper that are now tattered and falling apart with age.

Reading about my heritage has been as eye-opening as it has been inspirational. My forebears were well connected to the land, so my love of gardening is inherited, it seems. I’ve also been learning that there’s been a long Christian heritage running deep in the family line.

In fact, my great-great-great grandparents were Quakers, or Friends. They emigrated from England in the early 1800s to the US and then made their way up into Canada, bringing their Christian tradition with them and influencing several generations beyond.

This fascinating fact warranted doing some homework on the Quakers, and what I discovered about their beliefs leads me to the crux of this article.

Briefly, they believed that “government

was divinely instituted and virtuous men and women must help make it operate as God Beverley Tripp, intended, to encourage M.Div. peace, justice, charity, Grand Forks spiritual equality, and Christian Centre liberty for the benefit of all.”1 There was no room for separation of church and state here! In the 1800s they were known for their philanthropic works and involvement in championing of the anti-slavery movement in the U.S., and they also worked along political lines to bring in education and social progress for blacks and immigrants.

Equality, justice, liberty and charity were key values held by the Quakers/ Friends.

These concepts, I believe, are fundamental in our understanding of what is happening right here, right now, in this community. With declining population2, closed businesses, and a veritable smorgasbord of homes for sale, these things taken together point to something being quite disturbingly “off around here.”

What is off, and more importantly— why is it “off?”

When my relatives settled in Canada 200 years ago they brought a quiet, solid, persevering faith with them, and the values that stemmed from their faith informed the way they lived. They believed in building up society, in community,

They also sang several songs and repeated memorized scripture. (Above) Enjoying their cookies which Pioneer Girls handed out are Chris Palmer (left) and George Bolster.

in commitment, in family, in sharing the work and the wealth, in lifting up the downtrodden, and in giving others a helping hand. They truly lived up to their name as Friends according to their Christian worldview. Life was not “all for one,” but “one for all.”

Over the years I have become more and more painfully aware of governances that have been steadily at work eroding all of the goodness and virtue which those people brought to our land.

I am convinced that we need to return to those time-honoured beliefs and values, and if we fail to do that, we will have lost the very fabric of what makes this community attractive, and what makes it a place where people want to live.

Those values need to be reignited and put back into practice so that we can start working toward the healing and revitalization that this community so desperately needs. It is to our peril if we forget how all we are blessed with today stems from those morals, ethics, and values.

Marie (Jmieff) Demoskoff March 18 1924 – February 14, 2016

Marie passed peacefully with loved ones by her side on February 14, 2016.

Marie was born March 18, 1924 to William and Polly Jmieff in Verigin Sask. She was the third child of seven. Marie went to rural school, having to walk three and a half miles. She completed her grade 8, and then she had to stay home and help her mom and dad on the farm.

In 1942 Marie married George Demoskoff. They had their first daughter Diane in 1943. That year they moved to Grand Forks, B.C. 1948 brought the birth of Kathy. The third daughter, Clara was born in 1955.

Marie always had a big garden. She did all kinds of crafts, she love to quilt and weave. She was a long time USCC member, belonging to the psalmists, the spiritual group and the cooking group. She also loved to sing. Marie belonged to the Grand Forks Senior Citizens Society. Marie was among the first organizers to bring the Chernobyl children to Grand Forks for summer retreats. She hosted and fundraised for this 7 year program. Marie also loved to travel. She’d been to Russia, Mexico and throughout Canada and the United States.

Marie was always busy at home, working, or volunteering. She worked at Riverside Auto Court for 14 years, Annie’s Grill and head cook at the ever famous Yale Hotel.

Marie was predeceased by her parents, William and Polly. Her husband George, daughter Clara, three brothers, Billy, Pete, and John, two sisters Pauline of Spokane and Ida of Oliver and son-in law George Zibin.

Survived by two daughters, Diane (Fred) Zibin, Kathy (John)Sheloff, both of Grand Forks. Grandchildren; Donna, Liza, Gordon, Tracy, and Jacob. Sister, Doris Murray of Langley and numerous nieces and nephews. Also close relatives and friends near and far.

The family would like to thank all of the doctors, nurses, home support and ambulance drivers for the care of our mother and grandmother (Marie). As well as Grand Forks Funeral Home (Everett Baker), JJ Verigin, Jerry Semenoff, cooks, singers, pallbearers and gravediggers.

We thank you all for your love and support.
