❚ POLICE REPORT

United churches graffiti-tagged KARL YU Gazette Editor

United churches in Grand Forks and Greenwood were vandalized in an incident reported at 8:46 on Friday morning.

St. John’s United Church in Grand Forks had the words “Paradise or Oblivion The Venus Project” sprayed on the left part of the front of the church in blue and red paint and a similar incident happened at St. Columba United Church in Greenwood.

St. John’s church secretary and parishioner Colleen Salikin said that members of the congregation would be upset by the act.

“The church building is a second home to seniors and it’s almost as if it’s happened to themselves,” Salikin said. “If this is advertising for something, could they not have got the word out with flyers or an ad in the paper instead of causing stress and anger amongst people who worship there?”

St. John’s United Church in Grand Forks and St. Columba United Church in Greenwood were vandalized last week.

ary Pastoral Charge, which includes St. John’s and St. Columba, said that the incident was a shame but didn’t seem overly bothered by it.

“To tell you the truth, my first thought was it could’ve been worse and I come from the city so graffiti is no big deal. There were no swear words or profanity,” she said.

❚ BRANDING

Residents’ input sought for branding survey CITY OF GRAND FORKS Submitted

Grand Forks is strengthening its brand, and it needs help from the public but first, what is a brand and why is it important?

Our brand is our story. It’s who we are, who we want to be, what we do and what we’ve done.

If you live in Grand Forks, your story is part of our story.

We want to ensure that our story is told best and in order to do that, we need your help.

Brand myths Myth 1: A brand is a logo.

Nope. A logo is part of a brand, but it is not THE brand. A logo is a symbol that, over time, begins to be associated with a brand. A logo’s job is to help make the story consistently recognizable to people over time.

Myth 2: A brand means change.

Wrong. Strengthening our brand isn’t about changing our story, it’s merely improving how we share it with others.

Strengthening our story is simply about expressing the story as we want it to be told. In the case of Grand Forks, that may mean expressing the pride of people who live in an incredible place.

Myth 3: A brand doesn’t do much.

A brand is a story, and a story is a brand. A story won’t do anything unless it is told.

Why is a brand important?

Grand Forks is a great commu-

News tips

nity, with exceptional people and stories.

However, there are many other areas in British Columbia and the world that also boast incredible people and stories.

A brand helps to identify and strengthen those things that we want to differentiate us from other places, and it helps us to express the attitude and spirit of our community.

A solid brand means our story is not just heard, but that it is remembered, retold, and most importantly, experienced.

How you can help As we begin to strengthen our brand, we’re looking for feedback from our story’s most important people, the people who live in Grand Forks.

There’s a survey online until Friday, Nov. 9 at www.grandforkssurvey.com.

The survey asks simple questions about what makes Grand Forks distinct, why you value it, and why you think other people would value it.

For questions or more information on the Grand Forks Brand Project, please contact Coun. Bob Kendel at 250-443-4430 or bkendel@ grandforks.ca or Coun. Gary Smith at 250-443-1256 or gsmith@grandforks.ca Pick up a paper survey at one of these locations: Grand Forks City Hall, the Grand Forks Credit Union and CIBC bank and drop off completed surveys at city hall.

Grand Forks city council has approved a development permit to dismantle the current Winnipeg Hotel and replace it with a liquor store.

“It’s part of the commercial core and under our new sustainability plan it is required to have a development permit before anything happens on the property, and that’s what they have asked for,” explained the City of Grand Forks chief administrative officer Lynne Burch.

The application suggests a 2,532 square foot (253 square metre) retail commercial building, for liquor distribution, to replace the existing building. The site plan also includes access from Central Avenue and a location for off-site loading.

A current zoning bylaw in Grand Forks requires one parking space for every 484 square feet (44.96 square metres), which translates to four parking spaces. The application reveals six possible spaces, and one handicapped space.

Arild Engen, the realtor, said the plan is to tear the entire building down.

“The reason for it is it has structural problems in the foundation,” he explained. “To repair it would far exceed the costs of building a new one.

Secondly, the area is no longer considered a heritage site because they took the sign off the front so it’s just a big box with no appeal.”

Bill Irvine, from Brown Bridge Ventures Ltd., added that it would be difficult to rebuild the previous building given cost and time.

“Our goal is to build a retail store and not utilize the licence for the pub or the restaurant at this point,” Irvine said during a council meeting Monday. “We don’t think there’s a necessity for that at this point. Some people in the city have talked about their emotional attachment to the hotel and we completely understand that, but it’s just not economically feasible for us to rebuild the hotel.”

Engen noted that everything is dependent on the city at this point, including access to the building.

“If we can’t get access to Central Avenue, there may be an issue,” he said. “We won’t have any access because 4th Street belongs to the mall and it isn’t really a street.”

He pointed out that the lane that goes east/ west behind the hotel would possible be used by

THE WINNIPEG HOTEL

the city to put in public washrooms that would block the lane.

Mayor Brian Taylor noted earlier that the building has a lot of history.

“I look at that hotel and it’s been renovated and changed and to argue the historic nature of the boards and planks is hard at this point,” Taylor said. “It has a great history, not to be denied, but in terms of the economics of bringing it back to its former beauty, I think it’s a daunting task for any developer.”

During the meeting, Taylor pointed out that council still retains control over the building site materials, colour, landscaping design and the articulation of the east wall.

“Those are items that are still withstanding from us and allow us to work with the developer,” he said.

Irvine hopes to start taking down the building as quickly as they can. He noted that much of the items within the building would be recycled.

In related news, the site of the Grand Forks Hotel is being cleared up, with a hole being filled in with dirt.

“They’re just coming in to compact the hole, that’s it,” explained owner Bob Smith. “I wish I knew more but we’re still pending on the insurance company.”

Both the Winnipeg Hotel and Grand Forks Hotel were set on fire in March 2012.

❚ LOCAL HISTORY

USCC, museum society sign lease deal CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

The Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ (USCC) and the Boundary Museum Society (BMS) have signed a 10-year lease agreement for management of the Fructova heritage site.

A ceremony was held at the Fructova heritage site on Oct. 11, were members from both groups signed the lease that would allow the Boundary Museum to maintain stewardship of the facility and property.

The USCC and BMS have been working in collaboration for the past three years.

JJ Verigin, president of the USCC, noted that he is happy with the Boundary Museum’s stewardship of the facility and property.

“For us, it’s a win-win-win situation. It’s a win for the Boundary Museum Society because they now have a stable home, which will allow them to build their facilities and access more funding opportunities to make that place as welcoming as

can be,” he explained. “It’s a win for us (USCC) because they’re attending to that property in a responsible manner and we’re hoping they will showcase our heritage and history and it’s a win for the wider community because it’s a benefit to have in our community.”

Verigin pointed out that the site isn’t just for the locals who live here, but also for the visitors throughout the region to learn about its history.

Cliff Schuh, a member of BMS, is looking forward to the future developments of the site.

“We hope to build that museum up and make it a place that everyone in the valley and abroad will want to come to visit and partake of our facilities,” he said.

“We want to bring in some more artifacts and display them. We’re also hoping to put up another big building.”

Verigin noted that they would like to encourage members of the community to visit the facility and find out more about the history of the city.

A DIVISION OF BLACK PRESS – PRINTED EVERY WEDNESDAY. Mailing address: Box 700, Grand Forks, B.C. V0H 1H0 Street address: 7255 Riverside Drive, Grand Forks

❚ Our View

Not everyone uses email According to Canada Post, all local mail will be shipped to Vancouver to be sorted starting in November.

Local mail had already been shipped to the coast on weekends for sorting and according to spokespeople for the Crown corporation, it won’t affect mail delivery times, that is, if you take into consideration what Canada Post advertises – two days for local mail, three days within provinces and four days nationally.

In reality though, a lot of the local mail will take longer to deliver as sorting at the Grand Forks outlet allowed for next-day delivery in a lot of instances and this could become a thing of the past.

Technically, the Canada Post move could allow for mail sent on one day to be delivered the next but there are always extenuating circumstances when it comes to shipping. Trucks can break down and weather can prevent prompt delivery – especially with the colder weather that will come in the next few months.

Canada Post also says that business has changed and it is changing its focus from mail delivery to parcel delivery and with email and various new forms of technology and it is true but while people in larger centres tweet, text and email to communicate and use various payment services to pay bills the same might not be true of Grand Forks.

According to statistics from the 2006 census, the group that makes up the largest percentage of the city’s population base is the 55-to 74-year-old demographic, which accounts for 27.1 per cent of the population distribution.

While many in this group are familiar with the Internet, email and Facebook not all are, in fact the Grand Forks Gazette still gets handwritten letters, sometimes by mail.

Also, if people aren’t versed in the Internet, it might seem daunting to pay a bill online and again, mail is probably the preferred method of making a payment.

The post office and its traditional services are still valuable to those who aren’t tech savvy and if they require prompt letter delivery, it might not be able to be provided with the announced move.

Traditional mail service is also valuable to people of every demographic in rural Canada as front doorstep mail delivery is not always possible.

Canada Post says the move is a cost-saving measure due to the fact that many Canadians are looking for electronic alternatives to use postal services but you can be sure some Grand Forks residents aren’t amongst that group.

While the American presidential election and Enbridge seem to be the topics of conversation on the news programs these days, there is also much about the current National Hockey League (NHL) lockout.

Hockey fans across Canada are expressing their anger, dismay and how agonizing it is not to have NHL hockey.

I’m a hockey fan and I love the Vancouver Canucks but there hasn’t been a hockey void in my life, even though the NHL season was supposed to start weeks ago.

Maybe it’s because I’ve seen this song and dance four times since 1992, maybe it’s because work and the various other sports I follow have my attention at the moment.

Regardless of the reason, I’m not missing big-league hockey.

only go to various Canadian sports websites, such as www. tsn.ca and read the comments for every hockey-related story or listen to the sports call-in radio shows to see the rabid fervour that hockey fans in this country have.

Still, I often think other Canadians sports fans as being too one-dimensional, with the NHL being the be-all and end-all.

Go out and support minor hockey, take up another hobby or follow another sport. One that doesn’t decide to have a work stoppage every time a collective bargaining agreement expires.

Stop supporting owners who say they lose money at one part of the season, only to break open the bank during the freeagency period.

While it varies on who fans blame for the current stoppage – some say owners, some say players – the blame can probably be laid on both sides, although pundits do suggest that the owners “won” the 2004/2005 lockout and had the current system they wanted implemented.

That is not to say that I hope the season is cancelled because I don’t and if the season is saved, I’ll watch the NHL as I have other seasons.

I just am currently not craving professional hockey and if the season is cancelled, I won’t be lamenting how cruel life is.

I’ll just go about my life as per usual.

LETTERS ❚ ANIMAL WELFARE

Conspiracy against livestock owners?

Editor: Re: Preventing animals from suffering and Condition concerns for animals (letters in the Oct. 17 and Sept. 19 issues of the Grand Forks Gazette respectively) In regard to the two letters in the last few issues pertaining to the care of the horses.

They are not abused or neglected. We know they are properly cared for. Farm animals are not household pets.

Did J. Thomasson see the inside of that so-called “moldy hay,” or was it perhaps hearsay?

Perhaps there is a conspiracy against livestock owners. Take for example, the Gilpin range. It seems to us priority is given to all the animals in the wild.

Also, when it comes to polluting the water, why is it always the livestock? How about bear, bighorn sheep, elk and deer to name a few?

Just outside of Grand Forks, there is a herd of about 50 bighorn sheep.

They have no regard for fences, grazing and watering on private property. Their water also run down to the river.

Pardon us, but what are they not doing what our livestock would do?

Lack of access leads to deer declines Editor: The deer herd in the Grand Forks area is now down at least 90 per cent since my active hunting days in the 1970s and ‘80s and early ‘90s.

The lack of access management is one of the major reasons.

Access management has always been controversial but all the participants of the BC Wildlife Federation meetings I attended in the ‘80s understood what would happen if access management was ignored.

Some of the prominent voices in the quad bike club are fully aware of the steep decline in deer population so are they going to consider this when they advertise trails in impor-

❚ FEDERAL GOV’T

Taxpayers being blitzed with gov’t ads Editor: For Canadians the return of new prime time TV this fall means more than new episodes of The Big Bang Theory and Amazing Race Race..

It also means being treated to an exhaustive barrage of taxpayer-funded ads from the Government of Canada.

That’s not to say the government only advertises on TV, far from it.

But high cost advertising space on these shows seem to be favourite ad spots for Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservatives.

Ever taken the time to wonder just how much taxpayers like you pay for those ads?

To give you an idea, two years ago the Government of Canada’s total advertising budget was bigger than the entire Canadian beer industry combined.

We’re not talking small change here.

And remember, because the federal government has been running large deficits since 2008, all of that ad money is borrowed. After borrowing $416 million dollars to pay for government ads over the last five years, taxpayers are now paying about $23,000 per day just to cover the interest costs, even with historically low interest rates. So when you see the next ad ask yourself, “Do I feel like I got my money’s worth from that?”

If you feel ripped off, make sure you let Prime Minister Harper know.

Yours sincerely, John McCallum, MP Liberal Party of Canada Treasury Board critic

B.C. once again eyeing Chinese workers It is now clear what Premier Christy Clark was talking about during her trade mission to China.

She said that the Chinese would be investing large sums of money in a couple ROY RONAGHAN of new mining operations in Northeastern B.C. and that the projects would result in thousands of new jobs. She didn’t say the jobs would be for Chinese workers, not Canadians.

A press release dated Nov. 11, 2011 sums up the announcement: “Premier Christy Clark announced financing worth $1.36 billion for two major investments which will eventually create over 6,700 jobs. This investment shows how confident China is in British Columbia’s world-class mining resources and strong investment climate. These two projects support our BC Jobs Plan and according to the companies will create over 6,700 jobs and other economic benefits for British Columbians.” What the premier didn’t tell us was that most of the mining jobs would go to temporary workers from the coal mining area of China. They are being brought to Canada under the federal temporary foreign worker program.

The Canadian Dehua International Mines Group (CDIMG) in the Tumbler Ridge area of northeastern B.C. will employ some 2,000 Chinese.

They will come as bonded labourers for two years with an option to extend their contracts. Three hundred of them will soon be working to obtain coal samples.

CDIMG was established in 2003. It presently owns coal properties in northeast B.C. and intends to invest in developing coking coal. The company’s stated objective is to supply five million tonnes of coal products annually for the world market. Strong negative responses to the news on the Chinese workers have come from unions who decry the loss of jobs to Canadians, environmentalists who argue that the coal should not be mined and First Nations who reject coal mining in their territory.

Steve Hunt, director of the United Steelworkers for western Canada, says the government has permission to import cheap labour. Hunt believes the workers are open to exploitation and expects that they will be paid $10 to $15 an hour less than unionized Canadian miners.

This is not the first time that Chinese men have come to British Columbia. They did so in the 1800s during the gold rush and the construction of the Cariboo wagon road to Wells and Barkerville. They also worked on the Canadian Pacific Railway. The men who built the railways and roads weren’t allowed to bring their families and they did not have the rights of other Canadians. At the time they had to pay to come to Canada to work.

Similar conditions exist for the Chinese miners today.

They will not bring their families to Canada and it has been reported that they are paying $12,000 for the privilege of working in Canada.

The decision to bring Chinese mine workers to northeastern B.C. should be an unsettling proposition for British Columbians and Canadians. However, Pat Bell, the Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation for B.C., supports it, saying that skilled workers are not available in Canada.

To its credit the B.C. government is offering a skill-training program to young people who may be interested in mining jobs. In the case of Dehua International Mines Group, the government has known for five years that the mines would be opened by 2015, ample time to train a cadre of workers.

It’s a return to a 19th Century practice and it is not designed to have an advantage for the workers.

If British Columbians are concerned about the outsourcing well-paid jobs in the resource sector, they will be equally concerned with what might come down the red carpet that Prime Minister Harper laid out for China during his recent visit.

❚ MARSHALL LAKE

Lake drained to relieve pressure PAT KELLY Boundary Creek Times

Draining of Marshall Lake began on Oct. 17.

Tara White, senior fisheries biologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations said that as of Monday evening, the lake has dropped about a metre and a half, of the approximately seven metres in total that it will be drained.

White said the crew working to drain the lake had not reported any problems with those opposed to the draining of the lake. The Marshall Lake Stewardship Group on Facebook has posted several pictures and comments about the pumping.

“We’ve had lots of visitors up there to see what is going on. A lot of questions and we are just clarifying why we are doing it. Some of the people

don’t even realize – they haven’t heard both sides of the story, so it’s just explaining the public safety concern and the issue with the pipe and the dam. That we are just taking the pressure off of the dam basically to reduce the public safety risks.”

Richard and Donna Gottselig own a cabin and recreation property adjoining the lake. Richard said that the government is still talking with his family though he is not optimistic about being fully compensated for loss of property value. He is hopeful that a possible change in government in the upcoming provincial election could stop the decommissioning of the dam. “It is not officially over until they decommission the dam,” he said.

He explained his main concerns as: loss of property value, that access to their

RICHARD GOTTSELIG

property be provided to acceptable standards and, if they dam is decommissioned, that it be removed such that the site is back to what it was originally. White confirmed the site remediation request.

“That’s one thing that they have asked and we said we would look into.” She said a feasibility analysis is needed.

“We ‘re not even at that Phase 2 stage right now,” she advised though.

“Right now we are just at the Phase 1 of trying to address the public safety concern and to lower the lake level to take the pressure off of the dam.”

The plan is to run the pump 24/7 though White said there had been a 12-hour stoppage on the first weekend because of a blocked culvert on a woodlot.

She said it was an old wooden culvert that appeared to have been plugged for a number of years.

After crews cleaned the culvert the pumps were restarted and White expects that the draining will be completed by Nov. 3 or 4.

The official home page for The Venus Project (www.paradiseobilivion.com) says that it is a free online documentary that “details the root causes of the systemic value disorders and detrimental symptoms caused by our current established system.”

The website listed a mailing address in Florida and Roxanne Meadows, one of the people associated with the film, didn’t want to comment but said that there are many people trying to promote The Venus Project and she couldn’t be responsible for what they do.

Grand Forks RCMP currently don’t have any suspects but ask that if anyone witnessed or witnesses anyone graffitotagging, please report it.

“We’re certainly still keeping an open mind to finding out who is responsible for this so if anybody sees anybody doing something like that please don’t hesitate to call us (250-442-8288),” Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison said. “We don’t get this an

awful lot and we’d like to put an end to it before it gets out of hand.”

So far, no other churches in the area have reported being vandalized.

Missing youth found at friend’s house There was a missing persons case late last week, which had a happy ending.

According to Grand Forks RCMP, a group of youth were gathered at the sand pit at Christina Lake and just after midnight on Oct. 19, a 16-year-old male got upset and refused a ride back to Grand Forks and wandered off.

People began searching for the male but to no avail and police were called at 3:19 a.m. to assist in the search.

Grand Forks Search and Rescue was also called in and the youth was located at 8:30 a.m. unharmed.

“We found the individual at a friend’s place so we shut down all the resources we brought in,” explained Harrison.

report that a 2005 Pontiac Montana had been broken into on 13th Street in Grand Forks.

“An iPod was stolen from the vehicle as well as a credit card, with only $1 left on it, and wallet and identification,” Harrison said. “Unfortunately we have no witnesses or suspects and we’re just reminding people, lock your cars and don’t leave valuables in your cars. It’s just not a good habit and you could be parted from your valuables.”

Hockey bag full of tackle On Oct. 18, a large hockey bag with fishing tackle was located in Grand Forks. Harrison said the items are believed to be stolen and it is possible it was discarded when it was discovered what was inside the bag.

“If anybody has any information, please call Grand Forks RCMP detachment or if the owner says, ‘Hey, that’s my hockey bag,’ give us a call, describe what was in it and we’ll give it back to you,” Harrison said.

Q.

To what extent would a middle aged woman in fair shape, have to work out to achieve total body toning?

To categorize a middle aged woman in fair shape is difÀcult to determine without seeing her initial appearance and how much of an improvement she desires. Broadly deÀning the desired toned look of a female, would be to see a well deÀned appearance of muscle separation without too much bulk. The individual would appear athletic, youthful and energetic for her age, functionally able to perform any house hold task or common sport. When we look into the senior years we see many different sedentary types of bodies against few athletically functional females. In the past few decades females have begun to train more like athletes, commonly attempting challenging exercises or sports like hockey. There is a common look amongst Olympic Athletes, they look Àt, functional and healthy! So it all depends upon what kind of goal we have to determine how athletically we should train our bodies. You might already exercise up to 7 days a week and may only reap frustrating results for your time invested. Start training more athletically for 5 days a week and you may meet your goals faster. To train like an athlete, is to train like a competitor, but only against yourself. In the gym, each exercise is a different sport that you would attempt to outclass every time you hit the weights or cardio. The more of a variety of exercises you perform for your whole body, the better overall toning, functionality and fun you will have now and into your vintage years!

TAMARA WHEELER

Halloween is here... time to carve the pumpkin, create the costume and trick or treat!

Carving the pumpkin is the best fun, you can really use your creative juices cause anything goes. You can experiment – try a winter squash or gourd even an orange can be carved. Pumpkins carved make great centrepieces for the table too; add Áowers or branches of leaves.

Carve out oranges then wrap with sturdy plastic wrap, Àll with pudding or Jello and chill.

Peel off plastic and serve. Fun and delicious.

Instead of a scary face, carve Áames into the pumpkin. Repeat with several pumpkins, add the votive candles and stack as if in a Àre pit.

With it looking cold this year for our trick or treating, costumes may need vamping. It’s nice for kids and adults to stay warm when visiting door to door, we want our goose bumps to be from scary moments not the chill.

Our local thrift store does a wonderful job of helping all of us get ready for our scary nights.

Homemade costumes are the best, it is half the fun Ànding the right jacket for a wizard costume or long black skirt that turns into an awesome cape.

Now to be ready with a quick dinner as we will need to get out the door fast when the sun goes down.

Throwing something into the crock pot is my favourite, helpful and easy and it smells so good cooking the kids won’t mind stopping for a minute to eat before getting into their costume.

BEEF POT ROAST WITH NOODLES One 3lb. beef roast (inside, outside or sirloin) 1 medium onion, sliced ½ cup beef broth ½ cup chili sauce 3 tsp paprika ½ tsp garlic seasoning blend 6 cups uncooked medium egg noodles 1 (8oz.) container sour cream Chopped fresh parsley or dried • Place beef in crock pot. You can cut it into 2 or 3 pieces if necessary. Top with onion.

• In measuring cup, combine broth, chili sauce, paprika and seasonings; mix well. Pour over beef. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours.

• About 20 minutes before serving cook egg noodles as directed on package.

• Remove beef roast from crock pot; cover to keep warm. Stir sour cream into liquid in crock pot until blended. Increase heat to high cover and cook for 5 minutes or until desired thickness.

• Drain noodles. Cut up beef and serve with sauce and noodles, sprinkle with parsley.

Happy Trick or Treating!

Straddling the line between fall and winter, inter, plenty and paucity, life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to have originated nated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when peoplee would light bonfires bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints and martyrs; the holiday, All Saints’ Day, incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows’ Eve and later Halloween.

Over time, Halloween evolved into a secular, community-based event characterized by child-friendly activities such as trick-or-treating. In a number of countries around the world, as the days grow shorter and the nights get colder, people continue to usher in the winter season with gatherings, costumes and sweet treats.

JOBS AND TOURISM

British Columbia tourism to see job boom BLACK PRESS Submitted

For some, a dream job would be a vacation planner – for themselves!

Vacationing in B.C. can take so many forms that it would indeed be a full-time job.

The tourism and hospitality industry is an extremely diverse industry with over 400 different occupations – including occupations that lead to longer-term careers, as well as those that fit well for those seeking part-time work, like students or older workers who are not yet ready to retire.

British Columbia’s tourism industry will be a leader in provincial job growth as businesses look to fill 101,000 new job openings by 2020, according to a study of labour demand and supply by go2, the B.C. tourism industry’s human resource association.

The Tourism Labour Market Strategy, released in the spring of 2012 by go2, sets out the plan to recruit, retain and train the workers needed to keep pace with the growth projected for the industry.

Nearly half of the 101,000 openings will be new jobs created by the tourism industry across the province, adding 44,220 more jobs to the provincial workforce by 2020.

The other approximately 57,000 openings are due to replacements (i.e. retirements).

“The labour strategy co-ordinated by go2 is a key pillar of industry growth in the province. Without it, we simply wouldn’t have the skilled workers in place to deliver the visitor experience throughout BC,” says Lana Denoni, Chair of TIABC, the Tourism Industry Association of British Columbia.

British Columbia’s location – bordered by the Rocky Mountains on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west – makes it unique within Canada.

Its mountain and coastal scenery, opportunities for

summer sailing, winter skiing, and other activities such as fishing or sightseeing in coastal or inland waters or experiencing our vibrant cities all make us a world-class destination.

Tourism helps to diversify our economy and also brings new community services to permanent residents.

B.C.’s tourism and hospitality industry is now the single largest “primary resource industry” in the province, generating an annual real GDP ($2002) of more than $6.4 billion in 2010, ahead of forestry, mining, oil and gas extraction, and agriculture.

Tourism and hospitality generated $13.4 billion in annual revenue in 2010. Overall, between 2004 and 2010, industry revenues grew by a total of 25.5 per cent, representing an average annual growth rate of 4.2 per cent.

The provincial government’s “Gaining the Edge: A Five-year Strategy for Tourism in British Columbia” targets revenue growth of five per cent a year that will top $18 billion in tourism spending by 2016.

The fastest growing sectors for tourism job growth over the next decade are expected to be recreation and entertainment and travel services.

There are an estimated 17,943 tourism-related businesses across the province, employing about 260,000 workers, or 10.8 per cent of B.C.’s total labour force of 2.4 million people.

More than 80 per cent of tourism’s new job openings are projected to come in food and beverage services (43,410 openings), recreation and entertainment (20,530 openings) and the accommodation sector (18,920 openings).

“After several years of slow labour growth, the tourism industry is poised to expand,” said Arlene Keis, Chief Executive Officer of go2. “Labour shortages are already being felt in places like Northern B.C., the Thompson Okanagan and in the Rockies regions. By 2016, the crunch will be more acute throughout the province.”

“The tourism industry often provides people with their important first job and sets them on their career path,” said Keis. “Tourism is also the largest employer of youth, with one in four British Columbians under the age of 24 working in the industry.”

“This anticipated growth in tourism reinforces the need to plan carefully and ensure that there are enough workers with the right skills in the right communities to meet the tourism industry’s future labour needs,” said Keis.

Boomer Gaye Dolezal of Sidney, BC says “Working part-time in Tourism Information was a fun way for me to use my great knowledge of Canadian cities. I often astounded visitors with the connections I could make to their hometowns.” She adds “People like to feel like welcome guests, not just tourists.”

Which man will have Business nominated as “Most Promising Start-up� “Mo� in Movember?

CORNER UNIT CONDO!!!

Gazette Reporter

Perfect retirement living in this 1380 sq ft 2 bath, 2 bdrm, completely refurbished condo in Riverside Garden Condominiums, storage, covered parking, 55+ building. Asking $189,900

Grand Forks’ Environment Depot for Wastewater to Energy Ltd. has been nominated as “Most Promising Start-Up� for the KAST Spirit of Innovation Awards.

KAST, also known as the Kootenay Association for Science and Technology, is a non-profit organization that represents local interests among businesses, industry, government and education.

The company’s chief executive officer William Powell moved to Grand Forks four years ago and is hoping his company will change perspectives on how to treat wastewater. “We’re taking two established concepts: one being a very simple, cost-effective way to clean up waste water, which has been around for 40 years, and combining the benefits of speeding up the decomposition of manure,� he explained. “We combine this with the long-established anaerobic digestion.�

The anaerobic digestion is where waste goes into a deep lagoon that is sealed with a cover on top. This traps the methane, which is collected and used to generate power. “It can be used for cooking or heating,� he added.

Powell explained that the benefit to using this lagoon digestion method versus traditional treatment plants is the costs. “On a per-capita basis, treatment plants are expensive to install, manage and maintain,� he said. “After, you still need to dispose of the sludge and you will still be releasing methane into the atmosphere.�

By using the lagoon digestion method, it becomes easier to clean up water in a cost-effective and reusable resource, Powell stated.

The Environment Depot has already worked with World Vision Haiti and areas in Zimbabwe in managing their wastewater.

Powell noted that he is in discussions with the city. “We have contacted the city but everything is still just in discussions,� he said. “There aren’t any concrete plans as of yet.�

Other categories for the KAST awards include the Most Innovative Organization, Most Innovative Individual and Most Innovative Company. The Christina Lake Arts and Artisans Society was nominated as Most Innovative Organization.

The gala will take place on Oct. 25 at the Prestige Lakeside Resort in Nelson. For more information on the Environment Depot, visit www. azacomp.com.

Reminiscences

by Cassandra Chin

www.grandforksgazette.ca A11

of

Lynne Burch

city clerk, which she held until 2009 before becoming the CAO. “I have acted as the CAO role off and on as different CAOs would come and go in the interim from three to five months, so I knew what I was getting into,” she explained, noting that the managers were already part of her management team and they had been her colleagues for years. “It was an easy adjustment to make.”

However, Burch pointed out that things are very different from back then.

“The way we did things in ’87 is so different from the way we do things today,” she chuckled. “We had a cash register at the time, and we only took cash or cheques – there were no credit cards or debit cards, so you got used to handling enormous amounts of cash, which we don’t do anymore.”

Since Burch first started, she pointed out that the typical day-to-day items haven’t changed.

“You still get the odd complaints about garbage pick up, and no body likes increases in water and sewer rates, but those are the typical complaints,” she said. “This is a small town and my philosophy has always been politics is politics, and at the end of the day I’m here to work for the community. While Lynne Burch (far left) with past-Coun. Sue the elected officials are in charge, on a day-to-day baThompson, then-Mayor Sugimoto, and Kathy sis I have to find solutions LaBossiere dressed up for Halloween in 1995. for our taxpayers.”

Otherwise, it has gotten As an administrative assistant, Burch pointed out more complicated because life has become more complicated than before. that they are the first contact with the public.

“The legislation is more permissive than it used “You get to know the taxpayers and you get to know the issues that you need to solve for them,” she to be, which allows us to make more decisions, but it said. “In my own mind I’ve always been a problem- also creates more challenges for us,” she noted.

Through the 25 years of working with the city, what solver, so I enjoyed that part of it because I had contact Burch will take away with her are the people she has with the public.”

During her time at city hall, Burch worked closely worked with at the city.

There are also the multiple projects that Burch has alongside the then deputy clerk Jean Davis, completing administrative work for the clerk and familiariz- undertaken and will continue to be proud of, including: the development of the sewage treatment plants, ing herself with the process.

In the summer of 1990, she was appointed to, as upgrades to the city’s water and sewer system, and what was then called, the deputy clerk, which is now the upgrades to the city parks.

She recalled how the city was also able to acquire the corporate officer’s role.

“When she got sick, somebody had to step in there the courthouse from the province when they were goright away,” Burch said. “The interesting thing is that ing to dispose of it. The courthouse became Gallery 2, I was appointed to the position on a temporary ba- the Grand Forks and District Art and Heritage Censis on Monday morning at 10 o’clock and I went to tre.

“It’s now a community asset, rather than an unmy first council meeting and took all the minutes that same evening. It’s not normal to throw a new person utilized building,” Burch said. “The project I’m most into the job into that role without some sort of training proud of, simply because it’s the only capital project I ever managed, was the construction of the skateboard or experience.”

The temporary position as deputy clerk became a park by the Grand Forks Aquatic Centre.”

Burch remembers meeting up some young teenage permanent appointment after five months. In 1992, when the administrator (clerk/treasurer) Walter Slat- boys and learning about things, such as cement finer for the city left, Burch became the acting clerk, and ishes, that she would have otherwise would not have in the fall of 1993, she was appointed the position of learned.

Times have changed since City of Grand Forks chief administrative officer (CAO) Lynne Burch first started working at Grand Forks City Hall in 1987.

Born in Nelson, Burch moved to Grand Forks in 1980 with her husband Jim, when he received a career opportunity and purchased an accounting practice in the city.

At the time, Burch was raising her two children and wasn’t working. In 1983, Burch went back to work at the chamber of commerce once her children entered school.

In 1987, she became the administrative assistant in the reception area at city hall.

“I learned about things like bowls and rails and half pipes, and all those kinds of things that I wouldn’t have learned otherwise,” she laughed. “And no, I was never courageous enough to ride on those things with a skateboard.”

It was during a rainy Saturday morning, when she and some of the teenagers spent the day pounding fence posts into the ground for temporary fencing of the site, that she will always remember.

“I’m very proud of that project because there were community contractors that donated their time and did all the earth work for us,” Burch said. “At the end of the day, we completed the project under budget.

It wasn’t by much, but it was still under budget. I still see that it’s very well utilized and I think we all learned to accept that it was there.”

She noted that while there are always some small issues every so often, the children in the community continue to enjoy using the skateboard park.

“For a small community like ours, I think we’ve come a long way,” she said. “In 115 years, we’ve done quite a bit. It’s nice to have ended my career like that and I’m grateful for that. The taxpayers are a great group of people to work with.”

As for the future of Grand Forks, Burch believes that there are plenty of opportunities for growth in the city.

“We have a huge task ahead of us in updating our infrastructure, but as long as we can manage those things as we go forward, it can be done,” she said.

“There are lots of flat land in the valley and much of it the city owns. Grand Forks is the best-kept secret there is and I think that one of these days we’ll be discovered.”

With ample outdoor recreation possibilities, beautiful walkways, parks and two rivers, the city is a won-

Burch in her role as the city’s chief administrative officer. derful place to live and raise a family, Burch added.

“When I first came here, I had never lived in a town this small but this is home now and I wouldn’t live anywhere else,” she said.

Burch plans to travel for some time and go on a holiday, but more than that, she hopes to spend more time with her family and six grandchildren.

“I’m just going to go have some fun,” she chuckled. Her last day at City Hall is on Nov. 1.

After 25 years of dedicated service to the City of Grand Forks, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

Lynne Burch

is setting her sights on a well-deserved retirement.

We will never forget her contributions to our city.

We wish Lynne all the best!

Hi Grand Folks!

The leaves are coming down, the wind is picking up, and if I’m not mistaken it seems that fall is in full swing.

That means it’s time to put the garden to bed, to admire your full mason jars, and to curl up un-

der a blanket with a good book.

If you’re feeling particularly ambitious, you can make a couple of loaves of bread, or get a big pot of soup bubbling, or rummage around in your knitting basket and see what happens. In the evenings, you might pull out a deck of cards, plink away at the piano, or watch a movie or series.

Well, we’re getting excited for the Friends of the Library book sale (Oct. 25, 26, and 27). We have a good mix of non-fiction and fiction, with magazines and children’s books and lots of random items thrown in for good measure.

We also have a steady stream of new books coming in – I’ve been receiving some wonderful Suggestions for Purchase from you folks, everything from Gordon Korman to Dork Diaries to Mycelium Running. So if there’s something you’d like to read that you don’t see on our shelves, let us know and hopefully we’ll buy it.

And here’s another new book that came in recently, Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize-nominated Carnival by Rawi Hage. It begins with a promising first sentence: “I was conceived on the circus trail by a traveller who owned a camel and a mother who swung from the ropes.” It’s anyone’s guess what happens next!

WINTER BOOTS ARE HERE!

In part profound and hilarious, Beasts of the Southern Wild offers a dystopic view of a life where wealth and squalor are co-habitants, and each step taken is a world of wonders.

Seen through the eyes of six-year-old Hushpuppy, the Bathtub is a wondrously magical place.

In tune with her local surroundings, Hushpuppy keeps an ear out for all sounds of life. From her disgruntled farm pets to a fallen leaf, which she proceeds to eat, Hushpuppy lives half-wild in a southern Delta community, located near the edge of the world, where no one needs a reason to party.

Hushpuppy lives with her father, Wink, a gruff, tough-loving sort of man. He’s a typical, single father doing his best to raise his little girl the only way he knows how – through pats on the head and loud encouragements. “I’m your daddy, and it’s my job to take care of you, OK?” Somewhere through Hushpuppy’s daily adventures through classes and walking through life, her father comes down with a mysterious illness that leaves him coughing up blood and struggling to teach Hushpuppy as much as he can before he dies.

During this time, Mother Nature decides to deliver storm that floods the Bathtub. Tempera-

tures increase, ice caps melt and splinter, and ancient prehistoric creatures (a mix between a body of a bull, tusks of an ox and snout of a pig) called aurochs come back to life.

The six-year-old provides insightful moments only living half wild can form “Sometimes you can break something so bad, that it can’t get put back together. Strong animals know when your hearts are weak,” she notes at one point. In another scene, she goes on to say, “The whole universe depends on everything fitting together just right. If one piece busts, even the smallest piece ... the whole universe will get busted.” How a child as young as six can come up with those revelations is as startlingly as the imagery the film conveys.

Directed by Benh Zeitlin (directed the shorts Glory at Sea, about Hurricane Katrina, The Origins of Electricity), Beasts of the Southern Wild takes the viewer on a journey. Profound and exciting, humorous and depressing, the film reveals the many aspects of life from the highs to the lows.

Hushpuppy, played by Quvenzhane Wallis in her first film, is the quizzical child who never gives up. Wink, played by Dwight Henry, is equally passionate in his delivery. This is Henry’s first film as well. Beasts of the Southern Wild won multiple awards at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, as well as Festival de Cannes, and is definitely a must see.

I had the pleasure of seeing Hope Springs, the latest Meryl Streep movie at our lovely local cinema recently and was not disappointed.

This is rather a predictable movie but done with so much panache and great acting, it was delightful, albeit sad at times.

It depicts the rather stale state that a long marriage can fall into – the daily

uled to play the part of the husband, as was Philip Seymour Hoffman.

This is a very believable story of two empty nesters, attempting to spice their union up, sometimes with funny results and sometimes not. Most of us who have watched this good movie will be thinking, no doubt, of our own unions and how things could be different.

This movie was just completed in 2011 and filmed in Connecticut, showing very nice views of the ocean. Elizabeth Shue and Jean Smart play very small roles but add to the color of the movie.

All in all, a wonderful story of two nice people who, literally have lost their way.

I will not reveal the ending as I hope you can see this film for yourself.

routine, eating the same breakfast every morning, she attending to it with such care.

Streep is unhappy, that much is obvious, so she arranges a week of intensive marriage counselling in Maine and asks her husband to come. After much deliberating and criticism, he does join her. Steve Carell plays the part of the therapist and I must say very convincing indeed.

Tommy Lee Jones is the husband, a complaining, non-demonstrative man who sees nothing wrong in the marriage at all. The conversations the three of them have are very interesting, touching on very intimate parts of the marriage, and done with great taste.

Local companies oppose Roxul road closure bylaw CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Grand Forks city council has approved changes to the Roxul Road Closure Bylaw, but there has been some concerns raised by other companies using Industrial Parkway.

Danco Transport and 0877088 BC Ltd., along with attending principals from Urban Systems, raised the issue of the road closure to city council at the recent Union of British Columbia Municipalities.

City chief administrative officer Lynne Burch noted that the bylaw itself has already passed.

“They’re looking at different options in terms of the road closure, but council has yet to determine which option would work,” explained Burch. “The new CAO (Doug Allin) will take a report to council shortly and there are a couple of options that our engineers have given us on where we can put the new road.”

Urban Systems performed a cursory review of the proposed Industrial Parkway road closure and found that “some additional road widening would be required to accommodate the extents of both vehicle types (standard tractor trailer (WB20) and the long combination vehicle).”

The first option outlined by Urban Systems revealed the movement could be maintained for the trucks if the roads were widened to accommodate the larger vehicles. The second option would mimic the existing road, but indicates that the intersection of Industrial Parkway and 2nd Street would move further south.

Geoff Danish, president of Danco Transport, explained that

his company was one of the first businesses in the industrial park when it first opened in the 1970s.

“City council went ahead to close the road without a Plan B in place,” he said. “We understand that they are wanting to move the road and to give Roxul that property. The only problem we have with it is that we move long pieces of equipment and when you’re in the trucking business, you want to make sure where you’re at will give you the best access you can get for your trucks. When you’re in a position like this, you want to make it better, not worse.”

Danish noted that the closure of the road would make it more difficult for the trucks to get in and out of their yard.

“There are two letters of opposition and they weren’t taken into consideration,” he added. “With long trucks and trailers you need a lot of room to turn them around. Since 1976, we used to come in through 2nd Street, pull in and exit our property on Industrial Parkway. With the proposed road closure, it will make it extremely difficult for us to be doing business there.”

Burch pointed out that Industrial Parkway has been closed, but it will physically remain there until the new road constructed.

“It shouldn’t take too long to decide since winter will be upon us soon,” she said.

The Roxul Road Closure Bylaw (No. 1931) would have Roxul Inc. transfer 3,000 square metres of their property for 6,000 square metres of city property. Roxul also plans to fill and construct a three-metre wide ramp for the Trans Canada Trail to access 68th Avenue, and to build a 10-metre roadway as a new access road for Roxul from 68th Avenue.

Congratulations Grand Forks!

Ten tonnes of organic material was kept out of the Landfill in just the first 2 weeks of the Green Bin program. Well done!

Reducing what gets buried at the Landfill will extend the life of the Landfill by decades, will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and will save hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars in the long run.

Up to 85% of what used to be in your trash containers can now be recycled in your blue bags every 2nd week or collected in your Green Bin every week.

Remember that RDKB/GF expects Kettle Valley Waste drivers to pick up only 1 bag/container of trash per household in the next round of trash collection October 23-25.

If you have any questions about the new schedule, or requirements for the Green Bin collection, go to the GF or RDKB websites or phone 1.800.355.7352 for answers.

COMMUNITY ❚ KNITTING

Knitting at the library for teens CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

A teen knitting club will be making scarves this winter at the Grand Forks and District Public Library every Thursday.

Teens will meet once a week for six weeks every Thursday from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Snacks will be provided.

The club, which is a first for the library, is aimed at 13 to 19-year-olds in the community who are interested in learning a new craft.

Program and outreach co-ordinator Lizanne Eastwood noted that this is the first time the library has created the club.

“Basically we wanted to provide more programming for teens in the community,” she said.

“We’re thinking that a crafty type of program would draw some people in, and knitting has become retro and hip right now.”

No experience is required as they will be

starting from scratch, learning the basics, such as scarves and possibly hats.

“We do have a couple of patrons who are willing to volunteer their services to the club and they’re really keen on getting more people interested in the fibre arts in town,” Eastwood added.

“People in the community have donated a lot of items, by including wool and knitting needles.”

From the knitting club, Eastwood said the library hopes to attracts other interests, such as a recycled crafts club.

“We’ve had tons of interests from adults who also want to have a knitting club as well, so we may do that in the New Year,” she said.

Eastwood explained that knitting is part of the education curriculum in Europe.

“In Germany, the teachers teach while the students hands are engaged,” she said. “It’s a connection between body and brain development.”

For more information on the club, contact the library at 250-442-3944.

❚ WRITING

Take part in National Novel Writing Month Submitted

If on Nov. 1 you hear furious keyboard pounding echoing around the world, fear not. It is the sound of more than 250,000 people beginning a literary challenge of epic proportions: 30 days, 50,000 words, and one original novel.

Why? Because November is National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo, the world’s largest writing event and non-profit literary crusade.

Participants pledge to write 50,000 words in a month, starting from scratch and reaching “The End” by Nov. 30. There are no judges, no prizes and entries are deleted from the server before anyone even reads them.

“NaNoWriMo is the writing world’s version of a marathon,” said Grant Faulkner, executive director of National Novel Writing Month.

“Writers exit the month with more than a novel; they’ve experienced a transformative creative journey.”

More than 650 regional volunteers in more than 60 countries will hold write-ins, hosting writers in coffee shops, bookstores, and libraries.

Write-ins offer a supportive environment and surprisingly effective peer pressure, turning the usually solitary act of writing into a community experience.

Although the event emphasizes creativity and adventure over creating a literary masterpiece, more than 90 novels begun during NaNoWriMo have since been published, including Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen and Cinder by Marissa Meyer, all No. 1 New York Times bestsellers.

“You can’t revise what isn’t written yet, right?

This novel-in-a-month challenge is such a fantastic way to jump-start your story,” said Lindsey Grant, NaNoWriMo’s program director.

For more information on National Novel Writing Month, or to speak to NaNoWriMo participants in your area, visit www.nanowrimo.org or contact press@nanowrimo.org.

Throughout the month of November The Grand Forks and District Public Library will be hosting “write-ins” every Tuesday afternoon in Grand Forks (2 to 4 p.m.) and Wednesday afternoons at The Christina Lake Living Arts Centre (1 to 3 p.m.) Call 250-442-3944 for more information.

The Grand Forks Border Bruins lost 5-0 to the Castlegar Rebels on Oct. 18 and lost subsequent road games to the Beaver Valley Nitehawks and Nelson Leafs.

The home game against Castlegar on Oct. 18 was a physical affair, with the Border Bruins amassing 35 minutes in penalties; they gave up three power play goals in seven opportunities.

There were 62 penalty minutes in all.

“We didn’t help our cause by taking too many penalties,” said Nick Deschenes, Border Bruins’ head coach and general manager.

“It does happen and you have two choices: you either respond to it or give up goals. I think for the most part we did respond pretty well but they’re a pretty strong team and this is where we can’t afford to give teams these opportunities because it ends up in our net and we’re fighting from behind.”

However, Deschenes thought that the Border Bruins did a better job responding to the physical play of the Castlegar Rebels on this night as opposed to a home game in September.

“I don’t think Castlegar played as physical as they did when they first came here – they really took it to us physically – I thought our guys did a better job of matching them physically,” Deschenes explained. “As the year progresses, as our team gets stronger and more experienced, these are going to be the kinds of games where we can at least match them I believe.”

Robert Dunsmuir stopped 35 of 40 shots in the Castlegar game.

The Border Bruins lost 4-1 to the Nitehawks on Oct. 19, with Dominic Stadnyk stopping 33 of 37 shots – he was named the games third star and Jackson Purvis scored the lone goal for Grand Forks.

Dunsmuir and Stadnyk both saw action in a 7-2 loss to Nelson the next night with Luke Jones and Hayden Pasacreta scoring for the Border Bruins.

Grand Forks has home games against Nelson and Beaver Valley this Thursday and Friday respectively; it travels to Creston to play the Thunder Cats on Saturday.

Grand Forks Border Bruins vs Beaver Valley Nitehawks Friday October 26th Game time: 7:30 p.m.

Teleworkshop for residents on Oct. 25

Submitted

Researchers are giving new hope to Grand Forks families coping with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

Already one in 11 Canadians over 65 lives with the diseases. And since age is the highest risk factor, that number is expected to soar as the population continues to get older.

Advances in research are offering new reasons for optimism, though, including new tools that may allows doctors to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease earlier, and with more certainty.

Families can get the latest information, without even leaving their homes, thanks to an Update on Dementia Research teleworkshop being offered on Thursday, Oct. 25 by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. Vancouver geriatrician Dr. Philip Lee will explain how research advancements might translate into clinical care for local residents.

“We are beginning, more and more, to understand how the disease doesn’t just present itself at times of first symptom onset. There’s a whole process that’s occurring in the background,” he says.

“We may be able to make the diagnosis earlier and earlier, and potentially in individuals before they have symptoms. To intervene at that point would be desirable so that hopefully we can even prevent—in

the future—the condition from actually worsening.”

Researchers are exploring new interventions for people diagnosed with dementia, and non-pharmacological interventions such as exercise and diet that may also reduce the risk of the disease.

Dr. Lee contributes to research but also works with patients at UBC’s Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Clinic as well as St. Paul’s Hospital Department of Geriatric Medicine.

“The largest proportion of what I do is see patients,” he says.

“That is part of what drives my passion for the research, because ultimately, I can also see the impact that it has on treating the patients and the family members we have the privilege of interacting with.”

The Update on Dementia Research teleworkshop runs from 7 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 25.

Residents can access it via telephone, with optional online slides.

Pre-registration is not necessary.

A few minutes before the session, participants simply dial toll-free 1-866-994-7745, then enter the pass code of 1122333.
