The city is citing a clerical error as the reason why two seperate versions of the same document were released to the public.

A CBC Radio story, which broke last week, revealed that there were two different versions of a Freedom of Information (FOI) document from a meeting on Dec. 2, 2014 where Grand Forks Mayor Konrad asks for and receives the Neptune Technology Group water meter contract.

Both versions of the document state that on Tuesday, Dec. 2014 Mayor Konrad met with then-acting CAO Diane Heinrich; then acting corporate officer Sarah Winton; then-manager of operations Roger Huston; and building and bylaw officer Wayne Kopan.

In both, Winton states: “Prior to Roger and Wayne joining the meeting, Diane and I (Winton) sat with the mayor at which time he requested to see the Neptune contract. Diane advised the mayor that she could provide the contract for his viewing, minus any proprietary information.

She further advised him that he could be in a potential conflict of interest if he looked at the full contract.

“Mayor Konrad advised Diane that he was in no way in a conflict of interest situation and that as the mayor he had every right to look at the full contract. Diane said that she would provide the contract for him to review and left the meeting to get the contract.”

The first version, which was released to an FOI request from a citizen on Jan. 26, 2015, ended with: “She (Heinrich) returned with Neptune’s contract and handed it to the mayor, who took it, keeping it in his position [sic] for the next few days while he read it.”

The second version, which was released to an FOI request from CBC in January 2016, omitted that and ended with, “Once Roger and Wayne joined the meeting there was discussion regarding: mayor advised that Neptune was in breach of contract because they had not used a certified plumber to install meters or had a supervisor

Groups hope to replicate tipple CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A trails user group is attempting to preserve a bit of West Kootenay/ Boundary heritage. After learning that the Limestone Tipple in Fife, near Christina Lake, is going to be torn down, user groups including the Grand Forks ATV Club (GFATV) have made plans to build a replica.

The tipple site in Fife is along the Columbia Western (C/W) Rail corrider and dates back to the early 1900s when the discovery of gold, silver, copper and other precious metals led to expanded rail lines.

At one time, Fife was home to a siding, post office, general store and a boarding house. Many prominent West Kootenay families can trace their roots to Fife.

Doug Zorn, president of the GFATV Club, said the club has been partnering with the Columbia Western Trails Society (CWTS) for many years on maintaining the area of Fife to Laferty and beyond toward the Paulson Bridge.

“They’ve been doing a lot of work on their site which is basically up to Farron,” he said. “This spring we applied for stewardship from Cascade west to Fife. If we accomplish that we’ll probably extend it to Farron or the Paulson Bridge to make it more reasonable for them because its a long way for them to come up the hill and down to Fife.”

Zorn said the Columbia Western Rail Trail goes from Robson (near Castlegar) all the way to Midway.

The Limestone Tipple was built in 1920 after a second limestone quarry was opened. It was made from large columns placed around the 21X25 foot bottom supporting its 75 foot (22 metres) height. Rail cars would be spotted on the siding and the large bin doors would be rotated to allow the limestone to fill the rail car. Over 52,000 tons (47,000 metric tonnes) of ore was mined from this site from 1911 until the third quarry

closed in 1957.

An engineer’s report from April of 2015 stated that the whole tipple structure is unsafe and represents a liability of the area.

“Teck Cominco is the owner of the property and the building,” said Zorn. “It’s on their property and it’s become a liability because it’s about 100 years old. With it being so old it’s basically decaying and rotting.

When you look at the engineer’s report you see there’s not much there to save. It’s getting to be a danger.

It’s about 125 feet tall and if the wind blows anything off it the rail trail sits right below. It’s a hazard for people going by. They want to bring it down in the spring.”

Zorn said the Columbia Western Trails partners would like to build a smaller 12X16 foot replica of the top structure, where the ore cars would travel over top of the bins and dump their loads into the bins.

“It would be the same as what’s sitting there now but a newer shape and newer condition,” he said. “Beside the model we would be building a 6X12 foot interpretive centre similar to what the top looked like.

It would have open sides on the north, south and west. On the east side would be photos and hopefully write-ups because there are lots of Italian families such as the Ferraros (from Ferraro Foods) and Tedescos who can trace their roots back to Fife.”

Zorn said they are in preliminary studies to determine where the structure will be located, how much it will cost and where the money would all come from. “We hope to be able to coordinate it, building and dedicating it, with all the partners involved which includes the RDKB Area C/Christina Lake, CWTS, Grand Forks Community Trails Society, and Trails to the Boundary as well at Teck Cominco, Rec Sites and TrailsBC. It would be awesome if we could get Columbia Basin Trust to be involved. We’d also love to see some

Hard work ahead

The latest situation at City Hall regarding “docu-gate” shows once again the importance of communication as well as transparency.

The city sent out two separate versions of the events of Dec. 2, 2014 when Mayor Frank Konrad met with staff and asked and was shown the Neptune contract for the water meters.

At the time, Konrad, whose company had submitted an expression of interest for the water meter project, was one day into the job as mayor. He was warned by then-CAO Diane Heinrich, who had been with the city for five years, of a potential conflict of interest.

As shown by the recent court decision regarding Councillor Julia Butler, conflict of interest cases can be very hard to prove. There are many factors that the defence must prove.

The city blames the document mix-up on a clerical error and has promised to review their process.

Konrad chose to dismiss Heinrich’s warning of a potential conflict of interest. After receiving legal advice from the city’s lawyers a few months later, Konrad did recuse himself. Butler did not, which is the reason why council voted to take her to Supreme Court for dismissal on grounds of breach of oath of office and conflict of interest.

Regardless of what happens from this point, all of this has been costly for the city, not just in dollar amounts for lawyer fees but also in the city’s reputation among residents and onlookers. It will take a great deal of outreach, goodwill and hard work for the city and council to move forward.

Education

DAVID REID SD51 Trustee, Area D

Playing sports, both in and out of school, is not just about getting exercise. It also teaches students life skills.

Playing sports is about sportsmanship, teamwork, working with people that you may not normally have worked with, and learning commitment by attending games and practicing, even when you might rather be doing something else.

Playing sports also teaches students about winning and losing. You can always play to win, and be a good winner, but you also have to learn how to deal with a loss. If you are going to

play sports, you will lose from time to time.

I think one of the most important life lessons is about how we deal with disappointment when we’re faced with it. You probably know someone in your life that you won’t even play a game of cards with because they are a poor winner or even a worse loser.

I know some people will say that life is hard enough and students will learn those lessons later, but why not help teach them early in life how to deal with these situations that they will inevitably come across. These are important life skills that will serve the students well throughout their lives. It may seem like adding unnecessary stress to students now but it may help reduce anxiety in the future.

As an adult, you may not be successful in applying for the job

you want. How can you move beyond working in a position or job you don’t like? The answer is to learn to be the best and hardest worker you can be. The same goes for excelling at sports, hobbies and your work. You have to practice or play hard to really improve and excel.

At times we try not to single out individual performances.

Instead we give out awards for participation, with no winners or losers being chosen. Is it wrong to also recognize outstanding achievement when someone excels at something? Do we as a society promote mediocrity when we remove competition?

How can we take more opportunities to acknowledge students that excel in art contests, science fairs, spelling bees, school classes and sports?

We never want to promote the philosophy that by doing

Our schools and teachers have a role in helping students realize they all have gifts or are good at something; often they just need help or guidance recognizing what their potentials are.

I would like to sincerely thank all the teachers and volunteers in our community that take time out of their personal lives to go the extra mile to coach teams.

The experiences that these students are gaining through sport will stay with them throughout their lives and make a huge difference in their futures.

Opinion

to the editor

Report’s source unverified Editor, The Gazette: The Gazette’s lead article “Senior’s project riles Lake residents” in the Feb. 24, 2016 issue quotes segments from a 35-page “report” by Jonathan Oldroyd whose position is against the Christina Lake Senior Housing Society applying to RDKB for a rezoning of one hectare of community park land.

The Gazette has used this “report” several times to support the claim that the majority of the attendees were against supporting the volunteer efforts to provide Christina Lake’s residents with affordable housing for senior citizens. Rather than attending the meeting

yourself, how can you verify the “report’s” conclusions? You weren’t there and neither was the “report’s” author in attendance yet you have devoted a very large percentage of your front-page coverage to an unverifiable source. This is a wonderful example of poor journalism.

My wife and I did attend the meeting and we felt the numbers of “pro” and “anti” were similar. We also thought that the meeting was well controlled by Grace McGregor in that she would allow neither individuals nor groups to hijack the meeting.

George Caisley, Christina Lake

Editor, The Gazette: I wish to make a statement to Grace [McGregor] and the board commending her for the tolerance she displayed during the meetings held in the community hall Feb. 8 and 9.

I particularly want to say that Grace, during the meeting with the community on the senior’s housing, she showed professional tolerance in responding to the hostile misguided members of the community who continued to repeat themselves and did not listen to explanations as presented.

It comes to me that we have a segment

of people at Christina Lake that wish to become very negative to a possibility of growth or improvement but do not investigate the truth. In making this statement I have made it my choice to always seek out all the information before making statements without going the nine miles to know the full story.

This is my personal description with seeing and hearing letters being written to the newspapers, MLA, RDKB and our most worthy director and chairperson for the region.

Lucie Ackles, Christina Lake

Some residents misguided

Restorative justice needed Editor, The Gazette: It is through healthy family decisionmaking that most of us learn most of what equips us to be effective democratic citizens in communities.

To listen, to deliberate, to support others when their rights are abused, to speak out against injustice—these all are learned behaviors that attest to the morals and values we operate by in families, and in society; behaviours that provide a framework for the ways we treat and respect each other in the community.

A “rewards and punishments” philosophy teaches that when you are bigger or stronger than someone else, you can use that advantage to force the person to do what you want.

For example, the big corporation (City of Grand Forks) loses a legal case to a

single mother with two young children (Councillor Butler). Oh well, they say.

We’ll just move on and make like the whole thing never happened. Just shut up about it and it will all go away.

That is exactly the kind of behaviour that is destroying this town!

It is imperative that the verdict in Councillor Butler’s favour not be conveniently buried by the “poor losers” who would like nothing more than to have the whole tawdry mess swept under the proverbial rug. That way of handling the city’s affairs is dysfunctional and backward.

Restorative justice that brings lasting healing involves the wrongdoer’s identification and ownership of the bad behaviour (taking Councillor Butler to

Letters

to the editor

It’s time to make changes

Editor, The Gazette: Councillor Butler has won the suit against her and has been cleared of conflict of interest. Most of us could see this would be the likely outcome before any of this even went to court, but council proceeded with the lawsuit anyways.

What does this say about our city council? Irresponsible to say the least. Disrespectful to the residents and taxpayers of the City of Grand Forks.

The judge ruled that Councillor Butler would be reimbursed for her legal expenses incurred in this process and that the City of Grand Forks would be on the hook for those expenses. All to defend herself from this bullying tactic.

There are many taxpaying residents who are fed up and want the councillors and city executives responsible for signing the affidavits in support of this lawsuit against Councillor Butler to resign and pay for this expense out of their own pockets.

At this point in time we desperately need the help of B.C.’s auditor general to come to Grand Forks and investigate our city council and administration, to scrutinize spending at the municipal level so that no further corruption takes place.

Residents have had enough and it is time to make changes for the better.

Cecil Konkin, Grand Forks Editor’s note: To clarify, The Honourable Mr. Justice Greyell of the B.C. Supreme Court said, “In my view, Ms. Butler quite clearly had a direct conflict of interest when she participated in discussion about the [water meter] program before she divested herself of doing business as Eden [Yardcare] in early March 2015.” He concluded that she was not in conflict after taking a position of employment with another company.

Justice

Continued from page 5

court); the wrongdoer (city and involved council members) making reparation that restores the wronged party’s dignity and includes more than the basic court directive to pay for all her legal costs; and finally, the commitment to desist from any further actions along the same lines.

The restorative justice that we need to see in this town involves public apologies and, where public trust has been sufficiently damaged, a willingness by the perpetrators to step down from their elected or appointed positions.

2016 looking bright in Area D ERIN PERKINS

For the Grand Forks Gazette

Roly Russell, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Area D/Rural Grand Forks director, hosted his annual town hall meeting at the USCC Centre on March 1. More than 50 people attended despite an evening of conflicting activities in Grand Forks.

During the meeting Russell outlined 2016 as a year full of discussions and refinements to the existing projects he has been working on.

Area D residents can expect very little in tax increases, but some interesting conversations about bylaw enforcement, the implementation of a proposed hotel tax in the East Boundary, the continued implementation of the Kettle River Watershed plan, discussions about what to do with the recently purchased Hardy Mountain Doukhobor historic site, a review of the 2011 agricultural plan, a zoning review and Saddle Lake conservation plans.

Grant-In-Aid Pilot Project

Non-profit organizations counting on some funds from the regional district (RDKB) will want to mark April 30 on their calendars. That’s because Russell has started a new grant-inaid pilot project.

Right now applications from the over $25,000 grant–in-aid pool for Rural Grand Forks are accepted year round until the money runs out. This year Russell has set $15,000 aside to conduct a pilot project, which will institute a deadline for applications once a year.

“With the (current) grant-in-aid program, there is very little transparency of where those funds ought to go,” Russell said, adding that depending on when an application comes in, organizations can also wait many months before they know if they have the funding or not.

The new grant-in-aid pilot project applications deadline is April 30. Russell will then receive public input on those applications through May, review those recommendations by May 26, bring the proposal forward to the RDKB board and have the funds distributed by early June.

“In May people can articulate what they want the money to go to,” Russell explained. “Public input on projects is important…I’m trying to find a way to balance the needs of the community with value. (It’s hard to know who to give money to) when three months later something more urgent comes along.”

The feedback will be collected via digital feedback and forms located at the RDKB office in Grand Forks.

OCP zoning review The Area D Official Community Plan (OCP) is ready for the next step. This year all Area D zoning will be reviewed to ensure the present zoning reflects the wishes of the community.

“After the OCP is adopted, we will start to go through the process of reviewing the entire rezoning bylaw,” Russell said.

“They will all be reviewed to be in line with the expectations and desires of the community.”

Russell said the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), as upheld by the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC), still exists in our region but the changes made over the past few years to the ALC will allow social and economic considerations when applications are made for agricultural land use.

The OCP is currently being shared with provincial stakeholders including the ALC and public input is still welcome.

The final draft will be presented to the RDKB board for final approval within the next few months.

Saddle Lake dam rehab could be expensive The RDKB will have to make some serious decisions about what to do with the Saddle Lake reservoir.

Last year the RDKB acquired the tenure over the Saddle Lake reservoir located off of Hardy Mountain Road. To mitigate risks to properties located below the dam, the spill way will need to be fixed and maintained.

Russell said the initial estimate to repair the aging dam is more than $80,000 and will cost the RDKB an additional $10,000 a year to maintain. “There will soon be a conversation about how to shoulder the burden of the operational cost of managing the dam.”

Alternatives to repairing the dam include dropping the water level and turning the area into more or a wetland.

The RDKB hopes to turn the property into a regional park with hiking trails.

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF GRAND FORKS

GRAND FORKS – COMMUNITY UPDATE

RE: Two Versions of Notes Now Clarified Recent news reports noted a difference in some notes provided as part of a Freedom of Information request that the City received in January 2015, and was later requested again in February 2016. We immediately began looking into why the versions would be different as we could not understand how this could have occurred. With there being more than a year between the two requests, it took us some time to figure out what happened.

First, these notes – not a “memo” as reported – are not a formal document.

Instead of writing things down on a notepad, this MS Word file is used to jot down notes to develop reports and as a reminder about what has to be done. The notes are not sent to anyone, nor are they finalized and filed as an official report. When pulling together the FOI for the January 2015 request, there was one final review of the content to make sure everything was included, and we made a last-minute addition to the file to note that the Neptune contract had been provided to the Mayor as part of being as comprehensive as possible in our

response. The FOI was then immediately packaged and sent to the citizen who requested the information. When the FOI package was later filed in our office, the last-minute addition was not saved. It was a filing mistake at the time. When the second request came in, we simply pulled the FOI package and resent it as is. We did not notice a one-sentence difference on one page of the package.

When asked about the two different versions, all we could say was that the package we had sent was exactly what was in our files, and we could not explain or understand why there would be a difference. We had made every effort at the time of the first FOI to be comprehensive in our response as we do with all FOI requests. We sincerely regret that the last-minute change wasn’t filed properly, but we want to assure our residents that we will review our processes to provide safeguards that ensure this doesn’t happen again.

Boundary law enforcement could get more bite ERIN PERKINS

For the Grand Forks Gazette

Loose dog, barking dog, lost dog—all reasons to call Animal Control. But after that, there’s nothing more that can be done.

And that has Area D residents frustrated.

During the annual Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Area D/Rural Grand Forks town hall meeting at the USCC Centre last week, several residents expressed their frustrations over a lack of bylaw enforcement. While Animal Control can ticket offending pet owners, collecting on the tickets must go through the courts, a very expensive process.

“I appreciate what (the bylaw) says, but I find it to be quite ineffective,” said one Area D resident during the meeting who has had problems with wandering livestock in his neighbourhood and is concerned the loose animals will be hit by vehicles.

“It’s very frustrating,” he continued to say of the poor response time he has experienced from Animal Control. “I haven’t gotten any real satisfaction.”

It is the same problem for infractions in zoning, waste management and burning bylaws.

And without a bylaw enforcement officer, all other bylaw complaints, aside from animal control, go unanswered.

Russell said hiring a dedicated bylaw enforcement officer would be expensive but could be explored if area residents expressed an interest in having one.

“I would love to pay for an enforcement officer who was based in Grand Forks,” said Scot Stewart, owner of True North Distillery, during the meeting. “It’s a fairly important piece when you have a bylaw enforcement base with no teeth.”

To address these concerns, the RDKB will be looking into utilizing a bylaw adjudications process through the province to address minor bylaw infractions in an informal manner, said Area D Director Roly Russell.

“The Municipal Ticketing Authority has made a move so regional districts and municipalities will be able to issue tickets for certain types of bylaw infractions and give us a much

better ability to act on those types of fines,” Russell said.

The current program is “an expensive program and financially problematic to anything that is not significant,” Russell said.

Most bylaw infractions are minimal. For example, the Animal Control Bylaw No. 1550 has a range of $15 for a dog or animal at large to $50 for failure to secure a vicious dog.

“Bylaw adjudication takes us out of court and moves us into a mediation process,” said RDKB Chief Administrative Officer John MacLean during the meeting.

A mediator and not a judge would then make the final decision on the ticket.

“These tools wouldn’t be active until the end of the year at the soonest, from my understanding,” Russell stated. The tool would allow the RDKB to respond to written complaints on more minor bylaw infractions of less than $500 with a tool that is more “agile” than court proceedings, he added.

The bylaw adjudication process will be explored further at the RDKB board meeting in April.

YOU AND YOUR MONEY $

$

$ An important asset: a financial advisor: Whether you are at the beginning of your working life or nearing your retirement, good financial planning is very important, particularly through an RRSP. But how can people be sure of planning well and especially of making the right choices? For this, the help of a professional is very useful, if not indispensable.

A good financial advisor and planner will be able to help you better understand your financial situation allowing you to make the right decisions. When and how should you invest your money? How do you avoid paying too much tax? How much should you invest in your RRSP for your retirement? At what age can you stop working? What will your retirement income be? So many questions to which a financial planner will be able to give you clear and realistic answers and, at the same time, be able to suggest strategies which will enable you to attain your objectives.

But how do you go about finding a good advisor and financial planner? First of all, it is vital to do business with a recognized professional, someone who has earned all the necessary diplomas and all the required authorizations. Most of the big banks and financial institutions, as well as certain specialized companies, offer these services. Don’t hesitate to ask questions and verify anything you are doubtful about.

A good advisor, one who can really help you, should also know how to establish good communications with you, know how to listen and to understand your situation, hopes and fears. This way an advisor can work efficiently, proposing solutions which will help you attain your goals.

You’re never too young to start planning your future.

present to inspect each install.”

Both the mayor and Councillor Julia Butler had been under scrutiny for conflict of interest regarding the water meter program in early 2015 by the city’s legal firm of Young Anderson. Konrad and Butler both received verbal letters from the law firm on May 25, 2015 stating Konrad had an indirect peniary conflict of interest in relation to the water meter program, and Butler had a direct pecuniary interest in relation to the water meter program. No action was taken against the mayor, who did recuse himself from discussions about the water meter program, but it did result in a Supreme Court application (recently dismissed) to have Butler removed.

In a press release from the city on Monday explaining the two versions, Doug Allin, CAO, said, “We immediately began looking into why the versions would be different as we could not understand how this could have occurred. With there being more than a year between the two requests it took us some time to figure out what happened.”

Allin explained that the notes are not a formal document. They are notes jotted down using Microsoft Word to develop reports and as a reminder about what has been done.

“The notes are not sent to anyone, nor are they finalized and filed in as an official report,” he wrote. “When pulling together the FOI for the January 2015 request, there was one final review of the content to make sure everything was included and we made a last-minute addition to the file to note that the Neptuen contract had been provided for the mayor as part of being as comprehensive as possible in our response. The FOI was then immediately packaged and sent to the citizen who requested the information.”

Allin said that when the FOI package was later filed in the office, the lastminute addition was not saved. “It was a filing mistake at the time,” he wrote.

“When the second request came in, we simply pulled the FOI package and resent it as is. We did not notice a onesentence difference on one page of the package.”

Allin stated that the city could not explain or understand why there was a difference. “We sincerely regret that the last-minute change wasn’t filed properly, but we want to assure our residents that we will review our processes to provide safeguards that ensure this doesn’t happen again.”

Mayor Konrad said that he did not see the documents about the Dec. 2, 2014 meeting, nor did he know there were two versions released. “I was not aware of any of those documents,” said Konrad. “When Chris Walker (CBC re-

porter) threw that document in my face in that meeting and asked me to explain them, that’s why I said, ‘I don’t know anything about them. I don’t want to talk about them.’ I had no knowledge of these documents even existing nor was I the least bit interested.”

Konrad said that when he first entered office he was somewhat overzealous. “Being new in office at the time, you must respect that—you know the platforms I ran on—based on the water meters,” said Konrad. “So of course you become overzealous thinking you’re going to change the world when you get into office. Until you’re on the inside.

Get a feel of when you’re on the inside— you learn a lot more of what’s really going on and the powers and limitations

“

the doubt.”

When contacted by the Gazette about other changed documents, Mayor Konrad said he wasn’t sure and would look into it.

She would like to see an independent investigation into council and the city.

“I’ve been asking for that for a long time,” said Butler. “I would like to see an overview of the organization. I’d like to see a forensic audit, and I would like to see an investigation of the internal workings of staff. I took it to council and they had no interest in it so that’s as far I can take it.”

Butler said before she was elected she phoned the provincial government to see if there could be an investigation and “didn’t get anywhere either.”

“There’s really no recourse for local governments if they have a problem,” she said. “It’s something that really has to be worked out internally. If the rest of council and staff aren’t interested, I haven’t found any other way.”

She said she has not contacted the provincial government calling for an investigation since the Supreme Court case.

“There’s a 30-day period where [the city] can appeal the court ruling,” she said. “I’m just going to wait and see how things work out.”

A public affairs officer from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, which provides guidance to local governments in the province, said that citizens can always ask their local government representatives directly for answers and/or explanations.

“If there are concerns that a local government has not complied with the legislative framework in taking actions or decisions on a particular circumstance or matter, citizens have the ability to make an application to the courts for a judicial review of council’s decision or actions on that matter,” said the spokesperson.

“The courts have the expertise to adjudicate questions of law and fact regarding due process, administrative fairness and jurisdiction of local governments.”

The spokesperson said that the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPPA) gives any person the right to request access to records held by “public bodies,” including local governments. The local government has 30 days to respond to that request.

“If after the 30-day period a respondent has not received a response or they are not satisfied with the response, they may ask for a review of the local government’s response through a request to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner. FOIPPA allows for an individual to ask the office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner to review and decision, act, or failure to act with regards to a request under FOIPPA.”

Of course you become overzealous thinking you’re going to change the world.

you have and what realism you put on the fact.”

Konrad said he did his due diligence by analyzing the Neptune contract, “to see if it was set up right; was everything in order? End of story. That was my only constant. Not to end it; not to throw Neptune out. There was none of that.”

Konrad said he researched the project using his expertise as a plumber. “I had all the accessibility being in the industry,” he said. “I went out and got all the right answers. When I had all the right answers and the lawyers said you may be in a potential perceived indirect pecuniary conflict of interest I said, ‘guess what? I’m out of here. Whatever I say there’s no effect. I’m not going to stop the program. There’s nothing wrong with the program. Why would I want to battle City Hall and cost the taxpayers a whack of money and cost myself a whack of money?”

Konrad said his only issue with the Neptune water meter contract was the installers. “I was checking to see if they were doing everything by the book. The only issue I had was the installers and once that was rectified in my mind, I dropped it. There was no point to fight the water meter program any more.”

Councill Butler told the Gazette that she had seen on at least one other occasion documents being changed. “I’ve seen them change documents before,” said Butler. “I’ve got one that’s had three different changes. The water rates committee — it’s been completely rewritten; different font, everything. Names have been changed. So it’s been done before.

I was trying to give them the benefit of

Get to Know Your Personal Protective Equipment

Spring has arrived early this year allowing us to get a bit of a jump on the spring cleanup.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is a worker’s last defence against injury and death, when eliminating workplace hazards is not possible. To makes sure this equipment protects you as it should, you need to know your PPE responsibilities under Occupational Health and Safety Regulation.

Learn more about this and other safety topics at: http://www.worksafebc.com/ publications/newsletters/worksafe_magazine/

• Thatching and turf cleanup of our parks, grounds and green spaces.

• Cleaning out debris and cutting back last year’s dead plant material from all of our flower beds • Amending the soil in preparation for another year of outstanding floral displays.

• Pruning and shaping of our many ornamental shrubs and trees also • Pruning and cutting back the large inventory of beautiful boulevard trees within city limits.

City roads, sidewalks, and many km’s of walking trails require a lot of cleanup and maintenance once the snow has made its exit for another year.

• Sweeping up streets and sidewalks of all the winter sand put down for added traction.

• Pothole patching, alley grading and hole filling which are a re-

Spring also brings out the sports enthusiasts, soccer, baseball, rugby and ultimate Frisbee to name just a few of the sports being played on our many sports fields throughout the city.

• Top dressing & seeding holes, weeding and prepping ball diamond skins, fence repair on back catches, cleaning out the dugouts and redefining edges will all be taking place.

• Cleaning and washing the skateboard park and tennis/pickleball courts.

• Cleanup of popular beaches and placement of some 70 plus picnic tables at your favorite spots to relax and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us in this valley.

Sewer and Water Update Our water and sewer Operators are looking forward to starting our spring programs. Due to the continuing great weather that we have enjoyed this mild winter, we have been able to get a jump on various water and sewer construction and repair items that would have had to wait through the cold season. Our spring maintenance items for March and April include: • Fire hydrant inspections and maintenance. We have over 260 hydrants that need to be in top working condition for our Fire Department to use in case of a fire emergency.

• Water main flushing. Flushing water mains are done as part of a scheduled preventative maintenance program to remove sediment that gradually deposits in

the pipes and helps maintain water quality in our system. We recycle the flushed water in coordination with our downtown washdown and boulevard cleanup. Watch for the water main flushing notice that will be posted on our City of Grand Forks website, our Facebook page and in the newspaper for specific dates.

• Well exercise and maintenance.

Operators run and exercise a maintenance schedule for each of our five wells to ensure seamless operation for the high demand months of the summer.

These maintenance items are part of the ongoing efforts to efficiently deliver a quality water product to our homes, schools and businesses.

There’s a whiff of change in the air, so to speak, says Grace McGregor.

The board chair and Area C/ Christine Lake director for the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) was speaking about the complex medical marijuana issue often splashed across the country in media headlines.

The subject hit home last week when Brian Taylor, a former Grand Forks mayor and long time medical cannabis activist, provided insight to the medical marijuana juggernaut in a presentation to regional directors during the Feb. 25 board meeting in Trail.

Any changes the federal government rolls into the current MMPR (Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations) will no doubt impact the economy of rural B.C. including local growers like Taylor.

“It’s the changing face of agriculture and we have to admit there’s a big change in agriculture,” says McGregor.

“We have to be open to that and look for answers in our communities if we are going to stay alive,” she added. “The day of turning up your nose at marijuana (discussion) is gone.

We have to learn to move on from that, not dig in your heels and fight something that isn’t going to go away - we need to start having those conversations and make a decision on our direction.”

Taylor’s advocacy for cannabis dates back to the ’80s and marijuana cultivation referred to as sensimilla—meaning, when female plants are prevented from fertilizing the resulting flower (no seed) contain a higher THC content.

“That was the beginning of the whole development of the economy of BC bud in the Kootenays,” he said.

Taylor created the British Columbia Marijuana Party with Marc Emery (cannabis activist and politician) and was the first party leader during the 2001 provincial election.

Since then, he’s remained a face of rural B.C. growers, been featured in a CBC documentary called Cannabiz, created a journal magazine titled “Cannabis Health,” and developed the Grand Forks Cannabis Research Institute Inc. “One of the things I concentrated on (with the regional board) was the economic advantages of rural British Columbia being inclusive in who we allow to be part of the new legal system,” Taylor explained.

“There are 29 LPs (Licensed Producer) and I showed the regional directors the distribution of those in B.C. and Canada, then we looked at what is happening in the U.S.” He points to the state of Colorado, which is similar to B.C.’s size and population. Since 2000, approved patients can possess up to two ounces of medical cannabis, and cultivate up to six plants. Then in 2012, Colorado amended a law that allows adults 21 and older to legally possess one ounce of marijuana for recreation.

“They included the distribution system that was in place for medical marijuana already,” he explained.

If a similar move was made in B.C. then smaller growers wouldn’t be cut out of the new Canadian distribution system, he maintains.

“I am a small medical grower,” he told the Trail Times. “I did propose if smaller growers throughout the rural areas of British Columbia aren’t included (in the new Canadian system) then they will immediately become the black market in any new system that is set up.

“For the economic health of our region, we need to keep some of that revenue in the rural areas of British Columbia,” he said.

“So the message I am sending is economic - in order to keep our rural economies healthy we need a piece of this action and the only way to get it is not just from LPs.” He likens pot production to the liquor industry.

“There is a fear out there that LP investment dollars are going to be lost,” he explained, referring to the inclusion of smaller operations in medical marijuana production.

“I use the beer analogy. Some of those big LPs are like Molson or Budweiser - but there is still a craft beer industry out there regardless if the big guys are supplying their product to a big piece of the market—people still prefer something grown locally, grown organically and different.

“The whole craft thing has to do with utilizing the skills of those people who have been growing pot in rural areas for 25 or 30 years.”

No matter what the new government decides to do with the marijuana industry, McGregor says facts are key in making decisions at a local level.

“We are all going to be faced with this and (Brian) provided really good information,” she continued. “To me, how do you made decisions as a region, an electoral area, or municipality,

BRIAN TAYLOR

if you don’t gather facts and start talking about this, because it’s not going away.”

The Harper government began new legislation in 2014, essentially moving the medical marijuana industry from small grow ops into commercially licensed businesses.

Becoming a cannabis producer hitched on the requirement to secure an LP, and geared large scale production and distribution facilities to regulations established by Health Canada.

There’s a glimmer of hope for Taylor because the federal court struck down that law in February citing it a violation of charter rights, thereby permitting about 28,000 patients to continue to grow pot at home.

The court suspended its judgment for six months, giving the federal government time to rewrite medical marijuana regulations while the Liberals also work on legalizing the drug for recreational use.

“The reprieve gives someone like me, a small medical grower, six months to grow an outdoor crop,” Taylor added.

“Which doesn’t work well for me because I need the whole month of October.

“But it does give six months to all those grow operations that are hiding behind the medical marijuana model and supplying all the dispensaries throughout the province - it’s a mixed blessing.”

Medical cannabis production including related accessory uses such as the drying, processing and packaging of the product are legal in land designated ALR (Agriculture Land Reserve), which include most lands zoned agricultural within the RDKB. “We need to see rural British Columbia benefit from changes,” Taylor said. “People have been asleep at the switch on this one for a long time. Can you imagine if the forest industry was going to close down or open up something new and nobody paid attention until it actually happened?” he added.

“That’s what I feel, and sometimes I want to yell at people and say, ‘wake up.’”

Man arrested for threats POLICE BRIEFS By Gazette Staff

Male charged with uttering threats On Feb. 29, at 12:30 p.m., Grand Forks RCMP responded to a complaint of uttering threats.

“A local male was arrested and released with a pending court appearance,” said Sgt. James Fenske of the Grand Forks RCMP.

Resident threatened by man with knife On March 1, at 9:51 a.m. Grand Forks RCMP responded to a complaint of a male threatening another male with a knife.

“Members attended,” said Fenske. “It turns out no weapons were involved and no one was injured.”

B&E at restaurant On March 3 at 9:02 a.m., Grand Forks RCMP responded to a break and enter at a local restaurant. Police said that cash and liquor were stolen.

Vehicle damaged On March 3 at 7:03 a.m. Grand Forks RCMP responded to a complaint of a vehicle being intentionally damaged out in Christina Lake. Fenske told the Gazette that the matter is still under investigation.

Prohibited driver found riding dirt bike On March 4 at 12:53 pm, Grand Forks RCMP responded to a complaint of a prohibited driver operating a dirt bike near 78th Avenue.

“The driver was located and arrested for driving while prohibited,” said Feske. “A search of the driver resulted in the RCMP discovering seven grams of methamphetamine, plastic baggies and a scale. The driver was subsequently arrested for Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking, was brought before a judge and subsequently released on various conditions.”

Stolen property returned Recently members of the Grand Forks RCMP were able to return some property to its rightful owners.

“It’s suspected that this property was stolen in several recent break and enters to residences and businesses,” said Fenske. “It’s a good idea to record serial numbers and photograph your valuables. Keep the pictures and serial numbers in a safe place.”

Grand Forks RCMP responded to alarms at three businesses. “If you are a business owner please ensure that you have provided updated contact information to your alarm service provider,” said Fenske.

Grand Forks RCMP responded to 42 calls for service during the week.

Thumbs up to the quality and scope of the recent motions brought before council for broader presentation in a provincial forum at the next UBCM. Substantive motions of this nature are welcome evidence that city council has a grip on the larger issues of the day and they augur well for a brighter second half of its mandate.

Cupcake proceeds in support of two Syrian families

Grade 4/5 students at Christina Lake Elemetnary recently held a cupcake sale as a fundraiser in support of two Syrian families.

SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

On Tuesday, March 2, Grade 4/5 students at Christina Lake Elementary held a cupcake sale as a fundraiser in support of two Syrian families who are proposed to be relocated from Vancouver to Grand Forks.

Cupcakes were sold for $2 or by donation—$196.01 was raised during the sale and other classes will hold fundraising events for these families in the coming weeks.

After the fundraiser, Grade 4/5 students reflected on their experience and it’s their stories which follow.

Student thoughts about the fundraiser: We would like to thank all the students who participated in the Syrian fundraiser, the staff who helped set everything up and the parents who baked the delicious and beautiful cupcakes.

Today at school we had a fun-

draiser for Syrian Refugees. All of the grade 4/5 students were selling cupcakes to all students and staff at the school. A cupcake was $2.00. Our class raised almost $200.00. I hope all of us raise enough money for the Syrian refugees. ~Anson

I think that this fundraiser went super well because it might inspire others to do more fundraisers on their own time, at school, etc. I’m very happy about our school being able to help these two Syrian families because they’re probably very nice and we could use some friends. I think that this fundraiser might help the families a lot. And the good thing is that these families from Syria will be very happy here. Also, it will be very good for everyone to have more friends! ~Hannah It went really good and we made lots of money. The cupcakes were good. It was fun for the whole school. It was hard

counting the money, but fun. ~Ryley

It went well, but next time we need to know were to be at the right time. ~Adam I think that this fundraiser went very well. I would really like to do all that I can to help these families. I think that it might have helped them a great deal and I also think that every penny counts. I want to, but I don’t know if I can, but I would like to try and raise money out of school. I hope that the school will try to do more things like this to help these families. My dad knows what it is like to move to a completely different country, and he doesn’t talk about it much, but I imagine that it is hard. ~Zoey People are coming to Christina Lake! I wonder where they are going to live? Maybe they are going to live beside me. I wonder what it’s going to be like? Are they sometimes coming to my

house? I hope they like Christina Lake! ~River I think the cupcake fundraiser went very good, and it raised about $200. It is all going towards the two Syrian families that are moving to Grand Forks. There was a wide variety of cupcakes. Mostly everyone did their jobs that they were assigned. ~Maddox I thought that most people should have been more prepared, other than that, I think it went really well. I think it’s really going to help the Syrian refugees. ~Jax It went well. This will help with getting $200 dollars. It did exactly what we wanted it to do.

It did raise a lot of money. It was fun because we worked together.

It will help raise money for the Syrian refugees ~Ayla

Junior boys the champs SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Entering the 2015/16 basketball season Sean O’Brien, GFSS junior boys basketball head coach, addressed his team early in the year to talk about what it means to be a great team. “Don’t worry about the score, worry about your teammates. Don’t say we are a good team, say we are a team that is getting better.”

“This was the early message in the year, and in all honesty we wavered away from these ideals at different points throughout the season,” said O’Brien. “But you don’t quit or whine when faced with adversity. You keep playing—to the final game, the final buzzer.”

GFSS basketball rose to that challenge this year. After a decisive 56-23 against Midway at home on Friday, the boys knew the only thing that could stop them, was themselves. After two intense years under O’Brien, many of these young athletes have begun to seize their basketball potential, learning to play the game the right way with patience, poise and precise decision making. Playing J.L Crowe (Trail) in the final, a team with athletic defenders and in-

timidating size, the Wolves kept their focus and stuck to the fundamentals that lead them to the #1 seed this season.

The crowd in attendance for the West Kootenay Championship game saw an absolute treat in Castlegar on Saturday. Playing in front of a packed crowd, equally split in their support, the game went back and forth for the first half with Crowe scoring at the buzzer to take a 25-23 lead.

“Our nerves hurt us in the first half,” said O’Brien. “The pace of the game was incredible. Every time we scored, they matched it. Every time they scored we matched it. If they hit a three, we hit a three. Crowe’s resiliency was the last serious test of the year.”

GFSS pulled away in the second half, outscoring Crowe 20-7 in the 3rd quarter. However, Crowe cut the lead to as little as 6 in the 4th but the boys pulled away with clutch play call and shooting.

“We ran a brand new play to perfection in the fourth quarter, where Noor (Sibat) hit a huge 3,” said O’Brien. “Tieren Dolan who has had his issues from the line this season hit two clutch free throws with less than three

minutes to go.”

With 45 seconds to play, GFSS cleared its bench as the starters walked towards the sideline, finally getting their first opportunity to celebrate a high school championship victory. GFSS 57 -J.L Crowe 49.

“I’m so proud of this group,” said O’Brien. “We had to reevaluate what we wanted to be/ represent this season and what came from it were two things: Respect and Focus. If we can bring 100 per cent to our respect and focus, both on and off the floor, we will not fail. Collectively, we lived up to our motto of ‘We not Me’” Players of the championship game were Tieren Dolan (14pts) & Grade 9 Adam Cheverie (1/2 3pters 2/2 FT’s). Noor Sibat and Liam McKinlay were also recognized as first team all-stars for their stellar play throughout the season. “I’ve been waiting three years to bring a championship back to my alma mater of GFSS,” an elated O’Brien commented after the game.

“It’s a great start, but my aspirations, our aspirations are far greater than this. As stated, this isn’t validation that we are good, but a sign we are getting better.”

6-1 win at home.

In that game, Austin Dean opened up scoring at 18:28 of the first period. Jesse Reeds tied the game at 13:39 of the second.

The teams went in to the third period tied but it was all Bruins in the third as the team scored five unanswered goals (Bryson Yee, Shayne Pluto, Garret Brisebois, Logan Casavant and Dean with his second.

Anthony Galliart was once again stellar in net for the Bears, stopping 29 of 30 Rebel shots.

After eliminating Castlegar, Grand Forks was off to Fruitvale to face Beaver Valley on Friday and Saturday for the division title.

On Friday, the Bruins opened up scoring with Jor-

dan Robertson scoring at 19:12 assisted by Chad Grambo and Logan Hascarl. BV then scored three unanswered (two from Dylan Heppler and one from Devin Nemes) to take a commanding 3-1 lead into the third.

Tyler Fyfe (assisted by Casavant and Dean) brought GF to within one but they would get no closer, falling 3-2 to the Nitehawks.

The following night in Fruitvale saw the Border Bruins fall 5-2 after giving up a 3-0 lead early in the second period.

Brisebois and Jordan Robertson scored in the third for the Bruins but the team couldn’t shut down the potent Beaver Valley power play.

The Bruins went into the playoffs in first place and had a bye for their first game, won their first game over third seeded Nakusp in Midway by the score of 3-2.

In their second game, the squad went up against Castlegar (fourth place team) winning 4-3 in Grand Forks.

Lessons from the Border Bruins

What a great team effort has brought the Bruins to these nail-biting playoffs! I cannot help but cheer them on. Just a few observations: 1.

Everyone counts.

Watching the shift changes and steady flow of players coming onto the ice, it is evident that each one counts.

2. The penalty box is not the main part of the game.

In fact the more time spent there is really hard on the rest of the players defending their own net. Good hits have their

❚ View From the Pulpit Pastor John Siemens, First Baptist Church

place but even better is the puck in the opposing team’s net. Great job, Bruins!

3. The best coach award of the league going to Emery Olausen speaks loudly for the Bruins’ success. Players listening to his cues and dis-

cipline brings results on the scoreboard.

4. When things do not go as planned there is always the old faithful of persevering, pushing hard and never giving up. And again the Bruins are showing their stuff coming from behind and persevering even to sweating it out in the second overtime!

5. And last but not least, the fans are cheering you on.

It took us awhile but we were noticing great team efforts that were turning this team to

the playoffs. So may I say, Go for it all the way. Win or lose, you are the pride of Grand Forks.

And maybe we can learn from these lessons too, whether in our churches or in city council or in any endeavour in the Boundary: everyone counts, teamwork pays off, learning from our mistakes and listening to good leadership will make a difference if we do not give up.

Go, Grand Forks! Go, Boundary!

Max Peter Dergousoff

Max graduated from National Schools Academy in Los Angeles, California in 1953 with a Diploma in Radio, TV and Allied Electronics. Many will remember him for being instrumental in bringing television to Grand Forks and outlying areas. He built the Repeater Station in Danville and serviced it for many years until cable vision became available. Max also travelled to many areas in B.C. including Haida Gwaii to help install satellite and other television systems.

In his last years, Max enjoyed visiting with friends in town and tinkering with electronics. For the past two years, he lived at Silver Kettle which he enjoyed.

We would like to thank the wonderful staff at Silver Kettle and Boundary Hospital for all the care they provided to Max over the years.

Max was predeceased by his parents, his wife Lucy, his sister Maria and two step-sons, Clyde and Bobby.

He leaves behind his step-children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, and many other friends and relatives.

Per their wishes, Lucy and Max, together again, will be buried at the USCC cemetery in April. May they rest in peace.

Now, you may be asking what about Grand Forks? Doesn’t Grand Forks have a community fund as well? The City of Grand Forks is one of Phoenix Foundations most treasured donors, and did donate $100,000 as part of celebrating its centennial year, and contributing to the vision of a vibrant community.

That donation played a very important role in establishing the Phoenix Foundation as an idea whose time had come. Because of the faith demonstrated by the City of Grand Forks (and many others) we have become the little foundation that could.

The money donated by the City of Grand Forks is part of our Phoenix Foundation general funds, which provides a significant share of the monies available for community grants.

Next column: The last three ways!

By the way, you can learn lots more about the Phoenix Foundation of the Boundary Communities by checking out our website: www. phoenix-foundation.net. We have a quick and easy-to-use “donate” button that can produce an immediate receipt for income tax purposes for you.

There is a grant archive that lists every community grant Phoenix Foundation has ever distributed.

Our board members are listed; our most recent annual report is available—plus more!

Judging a book on its 112th page

z Check It Out CARI LYNN POSTNIKOFF

The Page 112 Test If you aren’t supposed to judge a book by its cover, how are you supposed to judge it?

My go-to has always been that if I don’t like a book by page 50, I quit. Life is too short to read bad books. When I’ve told people about my 50-page rule, some think it’s too cutthroat—that I haven’t given it

Make the switch.

enough time to properly unfurl, or something.

Well, if you think that’s cutthroat, then the theory behind Le Prix de la Page 112 is likely not for you.

Based on a line from a Woody Allen movie, the new literary prize judges its contestants based on the quality of the 112th page. The idea is that while writers and editors pay careful attention to the beginning and end of a book, what happens in the rest of the book is “Alas... too often, nothing at all.” If page 112 is good, chances are (the theory goes) that the rest of the book is also good.

To save you the trouble, valiant readers, I tried the test myself very unscientifically on three books: one I love (Apathy and Other Small Victories), one I hate (which I probably shouldn’t name here), and one I had never heard of before (The Sweet Relief of Missing Children).

Apathy’s page 112 is excellent—it would be wildly inappropriate to repeat anything I found there, but trust me when I say that it was not boring. The Sweet Relief of Missing Children also had an interesting enough page 112 that I will likely read the rest of it in the future.

On the other hand, page 112 on the book I didn’t like was pretty drab, and not just because I was already biased against it—it was a real snore.

Based on my very small research sample, the theory seems sound. So, don’t judge a book by its cover.

Judge it by page 112!
