Nitrate levels in Grand Forks’ water wells aren’t a major concern according to an engineering consulting firm.

Remi J. P. Allard, senior hydrogeologist from Piteau Associations Geotechnical and Hydrogeological Consulting Engineers, gave a presentation to city council at a recent meeting to discuss the city’s wells and its condition.

As a part of the presentation, Allard noted groundwater protection, which is a new mandate from Interior Health Authority, is also a part of future steps for the city.

“The issues in Grand Forks, which are items that are being looked at but aren’t necessarily issues that are a cause for concern, are that some people in Grand Forks think there’s a really big nitrate problem,” he said during the meeting. “However, in the areas around your wells, there isn’t too much of a problem.”

Nitrate contaminated water, caused by bad irrigation or fertilizers, pose health risks to people leading to sickness and some cases, death.

The recent Kettle River Watershed study pointed out nitratenitrogen groundwater levels range from more than 0.01 mg/L to less than 30 mg/L, with a median of 3.4 mg/L. The Canadian Drinking Water Guideline to safely drink water is 10 mg/L nitrate-nitrogen level.

“Your wells all have low concentrations of nitrate which is good … and the maps show how nitrate concentrations have changed over time,” said Allard.

“Well 2 (along 75th Avenue, near Hutton school), which is your work horse, shows that nitrate levels have been going down since early 2000,

went up for a bit, and have since gone down.”

When they looked closer, Allard noted attention should be paid to the agricultural activity, commercial residences and institutional practices.

Other issues brought up were the total delivery capacity of the well (which deals with how closely the wells are located together and the well’s ability to provide water in the long run), well efficiency (damage from mineral encrustation), bacteria in the wells (caused by farms), the well’s vulnerability, and the age of the wells.

The City of Grand Forks currently has five operating wells. The first well was drilled in the 1940s and hasn’t been in operation since the 1980s.

Well 2 was drilled in 1956, Well 3a (near 68th Avenue) in 1969, Well 4 in 1977 and Well 5 (both near 70th Avenue) in 1988. The most recent well built is Well 3 (near 3a, also near 68th Avenue) in 2000.

“Some wells are pushing 50 to 60 years old, and they’re like any other asset you have in the city, they need eventual replacing. I’m not saying they need to be replaced right now but we are identifying which ones are a priority to be replaced and in what order,” said Allard.

“Your most valuable well is 3 because it’s your newest one and will likely last longer,” he said.

He added Well 2 is at the top of the list to be replaced because of its age, followed by Well 3a and 4 due to their proximity to each other.

“What you should do is put aside some money to drill another well sometime in the future,” Allard said.

“The point of this exercise is to identify your priorities and to get you thinking about those options.”

Ziggy has been my best friend, my companion for almost 3 years. After the tragic loss of her sister in Vancouver, Ziggy has been looking after me and is the most loving cat I’ve ever had. We just moved back home to Grand Forks and after settling back in, I found out that my wonderful neighbours down the road from us were doing the selfless deed of feeding, catching the Ferrell cats and their litters of kittens in the abandoned barn down the road and taking them to get fixed. One day they stumbled across little Moorka who had strayed away from the litter and gotten lost. Thankfully my neighbour acted fast, as the nights were getting cooler, and scooped her up at only 3 weeks old. Since they were already taking on the care of many cats, they asked if I wanted to take on the kitten, which needed to be bottle fed, and was VERY needy. I have not looked back since.

NEWS z AIR QUALITY

Pacific Abrasives looks to control pollution

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Pacific Abrasives and Supply Inc. is looking at various options to control its dust pollution after concerns raised by nearby residents.

Operations manager for Pacific Abrasives Steve Zibin explained management at the company is currently discussing the installation of a facility to take care of the dust.

The company is located at the corner of Carson and Cooper Roads.

“We’re not quite sure at this point but we do have a few options and I don’t want to comment on it until we know what kind of systems that we want,” he said. “There are different things that people do and that we’ve done before. We have a more of a difficult time with it because our material trucks so much and it sticks to the tires of the trucks.”

Zibin noted the dust occurs during damp conditions and doesn’t go away too much during the summer when a sprinkler system is used.

“Right now, what we have is the city works department comes out on a regular basis when its sweeper is running and it sweeps the roads as much as it can,” he added. “When the fall weather comes, it’s hard for them to do because everything is frozen. That’s the other problem we’re dealing with – what do we do in the winter?

There are a number of things that we are looking at and we are aware of the situation and are looking at some options.”

Mayor Brian Taylor noted the city does its best at maintaining clean roads.

National Child Day 2012 festivities

“In our air quality study, road dust was one of the major concerns that we have and we have a number of things that we do seasonally to reduce the effects of dust,” he said. “We wash the boulevards and after the winter is over we get the sand that we put down on the highways picked up and washed off as quickly as possible to reduce that. It has been a problem for us in terms of air quality.”

Zibin added there has been no timeline set yet and the company is looking at alternate options.

“We’re just researching now and we’re going to be looking at what some other people are doing,” he concluded. “We don’t know when anything will be set up but we are aware of the problem.”

Nitrate levels in water not a problem Continued from page 1

Mayor Brian Taylor explained that nitrate has always been a concern in the city, with concern to two or three of the wells in particular.

“We learned that in fact, the nitrate plums are not moving towards that direction which is good news for us,” he said during the meeting. “Nitrate has been a concern for many years and it’s primarily ground cropping in some of the areas, in particular the potato fields are one source. The fertilizing habits of some of the farmers in the area have changed and so the problem doesn’t seem to be getting worse.”

Taylor noted it was good news during the presentation and nitrate levels seem to be decreasing overall.

“It has been detected in various private wells around the city and there have been wells shut down because of it. It was a big concern but it’s timely that we have been getting some reassurance lately,” Taylor continued. “We’re really diligent in terms of water testing. There are rumours that go around and there’s some substance to

School District 51’s (SD51) board of education has announced Dr. D. A. Perley Elementary School principal Kevin Argue as the next Superintendent of Schools effective July 1.

“I am looking forward to working with the board of education, principals and vice-principals, teachers, staff, parents and communities across the Boundary,” said Argue. “I will bring a strong commitment to building collaborative relationships with all partners of the school district to deliver exceptional learning experiences for the students of SD51.”

According to a press release, “The Board of Education followed an extensive, Canada-wide search for suitable applicants and is pleased to have selected a candidate from existing school district personnel.”

Current SD51 Superintendent of Schools Michael Strukoff noted it was an extensive process that began last June.

“We engaged Make a Future, which assists districts in hiring all kinds of staff,” he explained. “Our staff used their skills to help us in the recruitment process where they shortlisted four candidates. They created a process, interview questions, and then they interviewed last Monday and Tuesday before they made the decision on the candidate.”

Candidates for the position were from Ontario and British Columbia, Strukoff added.

“I think that it shows that after working really hard they found that we had really good personnel already working in our district.

It’s a good news story for us on the choices we make when we start hiring people to our district right from the get-go,” said Strukoff. “I’ll be working closely with Kevin as we develop a transition plan and work on our (human resources) issues and goals for the summer of 2013.”

Argue has been with SD51 since 1996. He was previously the viceprincipal at Grand Forks Secondary School.

OPINION

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

Shopping local benefits all This is certainly not the first time you are going to read a shop local editorial in this newspaper and it won’t be the last. We hammer it home because it’s important and we’re not going to apologize.

The reasons are many and you’ve likely heard them all.

Yet, too many people in this community, who love the lifestyle, still make their buying decisions in isolation from what makes most sense for the greater good of our community.

Spending your money outside the Boundary does nothing to sustain what we all cherish so much.

Let’s take this very newspaper as an example. Presumably if you have gotten this far, you value local news and opinion. We do too and thank you for your support.

What brings this newspaper to life every Wednesday are the businesses you see scattered throughout these pages.

These small retailers in the downtown core are as vital to our success as we are to theirs. They employ us and we in turn help employ them.

The spinoff for readers is you continue to get all the important news, views, arts and sports this community is chock-full of.

With the arrival of the Christmas shopping season, the push from local merchants, the Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce and the new downtown business organization is stronger than ever.

Local businesses need this season to make the books balance for the rest of the year. We need to support them.

The temptation to travel to Spokane, Colville or Kelowna for shopping is strong, but those businesses will not provide your favourite community group with a donation for an event in April.

The property taxes Okanagan and American businesses pay won’t help keep the roads plowed in the winter and our parks blooming in the summer.

We are all partners in ensuring this tiny, fragile economy works. Money comes in, money goes out. If it stays local then everybody wins.

Question of the Week

from www.grandforksgazette.ca Will the formation of a downtown business association help rejuvenate Grand Forks?

YES 39%

As I was away between Wednesday and Friday of last week, I had an opportunity to experience part of an American Thanksgiving tradition, Thanksgiving Thursday football.

It wasn’t as good as turkey with the trimmings, in my opinion, but it was enjoyable nonetheless and while my Thanksgiving dinner was enjoyed – as with many other Canadians – last October, there was another American tradition that I avoided; a tradition that has only grown to prominence recently, at least by my count.

Black Friday is supposed to be an American thing, as Canada has Boxing Day and, as mentioned, Canadian Thanksgiving was well over a month ago, but sure enough, many Canadian businesses were advertising Black Friday sales.

Black Friday is a kick off to the Christmas shopping season,

❚ Yu Speak

people say, and news outlets reported about the swarms of people lining up and preparing for the madness.

People often complain about how commercialized holidays, like Christmas, are becoming and with Boxing Day and Black Friday it’s easy to see why.

Christmas is supposed to be about giving, but not an elbow to the head of the person beside you, as you follow the swarm into a store to buy supposedly marked down items.

It is about giving in the nonselfish sense and it is literally about the birth of Jesus Christ.

I’m willing to bet Mary didn’t

foresee the birth of her child being used as a marketing ploy by Best Buy to sell TVs, iPhones and iPads.

She might be happy that the birth of her son would lead to giving but not by the fact that people would be trampled as part of that act of giving.

The holiday season is one of my favourite and it probably has a lot to do with the lights, the snow and the music playing in the stores.

It is also probably one of the most atmospheric of all holidays, when you also throw New Year’s Eve and Day into the mix and everything associated with that.

However, it is fast becoming something that commercialization and capitalism are tainting with their grubby hands and something that could lead to ruin.

Maybe Ebenezer Scrooge (preghostly visits) was onto something.

LETTERS z WASTE DISPOSAL

Garbage talk

Editor: Re: City talks about garbage rates (story, Nov. 14 issue of the Grand Forks Gazette) I read a few issues ago about the concerns of Dave Milton regarding garbage rates.

I agree that it is not fair to penalize people who are going the extra mile to reduce garbage to the landfill.

If you are charged extra (penalized) for putting out extra garbage, you should get credit for putting out less garbage.

I believe the regional district has a wonderful system, where you buy a sheet of tags and use them as needed.

In our case, I put out one per month.

In the future, when it comes to water meters, the same should apply. If you get charged extra for using too much water, then you should get credit for conserving and using less.

Should city council be proactive in helping support conservation or does it come down to the regional district co-ordinator dictating policy?

If a homeowner has no incentive to conserve, then why recycle?

Throw it all in the garbage and let the city sort it out. You are paying for it anyway.

Cal Smuland, Grand Forks

z ECONOMY

Buy local food Editor: As the winter days are approaching, hopefully you will have had the opportunity to stock up on good winter foods from this area.

Grand Forks has always been known for good, clean, healthy food, which supports the local economy. Remember that when you buy products

from foreign markets there can never be the same guarantee of direct quality assurance as when you access them locally.

Although active farming is coming to a close in this season, some farms still have root crops, such as beets and carrots in the ground, waiting for customers and good garlic to spice up your winter dishes and add health and vigor to your life and the local economy.

Cheap is not necessarily the road to excellence.

z CANCER AWARENESS

Support 2013 relay

Editor: Planning for an event on a sunny June day seems very far away from these gloomy November days but that is what I have been doing.

We have begun planning for the Relay For Life 2013 in Grand Forks and I will be participating with a heavy heart.

This past summer, my sister passed away from cancer.

This is not the first person I have lost to cancer and probably won’t be the last.

Being a volunteer helps me channel some of that grief and anger into something positive.

As the chairperson of our relay’s Luminary ceremony, I can channel it in two ways.

I can help raise money for research to help eliminate cancer and to help fund programs through the Canadian Cancer Society to help people dealing with this disease. The second way I can help is to help those of us left here with our grief and with nowhere to target it.

I am grateful to help give everyone that is dealing with cancer (in some way) a place to come together.

At the luminary ceremony we cry, we laugh but mostly we remember people we have lost and honour people who are dealing with the disease.

As we plan for the relay in 2013, our attention turns to getting our teams to sign up for the upcoming year, to help us

z OPINION raise the funds, but it also turns to our other need of signing up volunteers.

We always need volunteers.

I told you why I volunteer, other people may have their own reasons or may just want to come out on a beautiful June day, in the sunshine (hopefully) and put in a few hours for a good cause.

I hope anyone reading this letter will consider giving some time to the Relay For Life 2013, whether it is as part of a relay team or as a volunteer.

We would greatly appreciate your help. Contact us by calling Jacquie Wolf or Jenn Edwards at 250-442-3332 (daytime) or 250-443-3002 (evening) or stop in to see them at Yaki Jacquie’s Café.

z B.C. POLITICS

Not a way to run gov’t

Editor: You cannot run a peanut stand if you are only open 44 days a year. Yet, that is all the B.C. legislature has sat this year. Look at the HST. It was voted down in August 2011, yet, because the B.C. legislature is not sitting, the Liberals, under Christy Clark, will not eliminate it until April 2013.

The HST drives up the costs for thousands of goods and services and families and small businesses are suffering as a result of this awful tax.

The child poverty rate, according to Statistics Canada, is the highest in Canada for six years in a row. It has been eroded by 11 years of B.C. liberal government, first under Gordon Campbell and now Christy Clark. B.C. has now had four consecutive deficits in a row, including the biggest deficits this province has ever seen. When this Liberal government took power in 2001, it pledged to “outlaw” red ink from the province’s books forever. That is no way to run a government.

RDKB Area D takes first step with community plan z In the Spotlight

IRENE PEREPOLKIN

The first step in the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) planning and development department Area D official community plan review kicked off on Nov. 2 with a tour to various sites by committee members.

The purpose of this tour was to discuss land use issues and

concerns with a visual as an aid.

It has been 12 years since the last review was made to the official community plan.

This is routine part of the process for the RDKB. The Official Community Plan (OCP) is intended to act as a guide for development and expansion of RDKB Electoral Area D. Since 1999, there has been eight amendments applied for.

The process for review will be led by an appointed steering committee of local Area D residents and RDKB staff. The entire process is expected to take up to two years.

Property owners in Area D can expect to receive a questionnaire pertaining to their expectations, likes and concerns of the lifestyle of Area D. As there are some that exclude the receipt of junk mail in their boxes, we will ensure that copies will be available at the RDKB office on Central Avenue in Grand Forks or you can call to get forms mailed direct to your address.

The returned forms will be compiled and reviewed by the committee. Public workshops will be held, at which time the survey results will be made available.

The steering committee will be asked for input on subjects such as greenhouse gas reduction targets, natural, agricultural, and heritage resources, sand and gravel deposits, solid waste management, residential, commercial and industrial designations and recreational land uses to name a few.

Once these are discussed, a draft revised OCP will be produced.

This draft is referred to various agencies, such as the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, the Interior Health Authority, the Ministries of Agriculture, Environment and also to the Agriculture Land Commission. An open house for the general public to offer comments is also part of the process.

Once the steering committee is satisfied that the document reflects the input from the community and various agencies, the document will go through the formal adoption process before the entire board of the RDKB. Area D comprises one quarter of the land in the RDKB and has the largest population of the five areas. We have four provincial parks and one newly formed regional park within the area.

In the survey done in 1997, before the last OCP review, residents described their quality of life as good to excellent, citing rural character and the rural lifestyle as well as peace and quiet as the most positive attributes of residing in Area D. It will be interesting to see what this questionnaire will tell us.

Just a reminder that winter driving is upon us. Please prepare yourself for conditions.

Check the road conditions at www.drivebc.ca leave a lot of time to arrive, maintain a safe following distance and remember that those speed limit signs are for perfect, dry summer road conditions NOT for winter roads.

Remember both you, I and our families share that road and we all want to arrive safe.

z POLICE REPORT

Thief at ‘Winnie’ caught red-handed

Gazette Reporter

Grand Forks RCMP officers noticed someone inside the Winnipeg Hotel when they were conducting a regular patrol around the area on Nov. 21 at about 1:30 a.m.

“Further investigation revealed that a male was there removing some flooring material,” said Grand Forks RCMP Cpl. Richard Lanz. “The male was arrested and it was determined he was breaching his conditions of curfew and was arrested and lodged in a cell.”

The male is currently waiting to appear in court at a later date.

Broken window On Nov. 20, police received a report that a window of a Central Avenue residence had been broken.

The window was broken with a rock and the damage is valued at approximately $100.

The incident occurred during the evening of Nov. 17. There are currently no suspects or witnesses, and nothing was reported stolen.

Shoplifter at Pharmasave Police were called to the Grand Forks Pharmasave after a shoplifter managed to steal some items on Nov. 23 at 1:17 p.m.

“A male entered the store and began putting items in his jacket,” explained Lanz. “The male then left the store without paying for these items. One of the employees started following the male outside and eventually lost him.”

The investigation is ongoing.

Theft of purse Police were notified about a theft of a purse, which occurred outside the bottle depot in Grand Forks on Nov. 23 at 3:30 p.m.

The purse was left outside the building for a few minutes and upon return, the woman noticed that the purse was gone.

Also stolen inside the purse were an iPod, a cell phone and some cash.

If anybody has any information regarding this, please advise the RCMP. Pylons cause safety hazard Police received a report that pylons had been placed on Highway 3 at Christina Lake near the bridge on Nov. 23 at 11:50 p.m.

An unknown person had placed two pylons and with a pole across the pylons.

“One vehicle drove through and ended up hitting the cone,” noted Lanz. “There was no damage to the vehicle but this could be a very serious matter when someone puts traffic hazards on the highway when they’re not needed.”

Lanz added the incident could have turned into a serious accident.

Saturday, December 22nd 2012

In preparation for the bird count The Granby Wilderness Society will be hosting a birding workshop with expert birder Doug Brown on Dec. 1st.

Meeting spot will be the Boundary Museum at 9:00 am.

Break-and-enter A report of a break-and-enter was received from Huckleberry Mountain Market at Christina Lake on Nov. 24 around 3 a.m. The suspects had thrown rocks through the front door, entered the building and stole two computers.

“The suspects then left the immediate area in a pickup truck,” said Lanz. “At this time, the matter is still being investigated.

Motor vehicle accident A motor vehicle collision occurred on Highway 3 about five kilometres west of the Paulson Bridge on Nov. 25 at 1:10 p.m.

There were two occupants trapped inside the vehicle. Both ambulance and police were at the scene to extract both occupants who were later taken to hospital for minor injuries.

“Road conditions at this time at that location was black ice and on a curve,” Lanz pointed out. “Speed wasn’t a factor, but the accident is consistent with the scene as it’s known as a bad corner. Quite frequently we have accidents there when the temperature changes.”

The occupant and passenger are from Grand Forks.

Theft from vehicles A series of vehicle thefts has Grand Forks RCMP cautioning residents to lock their vehicles.

On Nov. 15 during the evening, three vehicles parked on Kettle River Drive were rummaged through.

Stolen from the vehicles were a small amount of change, a couple of watches and a gold locket. All vehicles were unlocked at the time.

On Nov. 23, police received a report that a vehicle parked in a carport on Central Avenue was searched through.

The owner reported that items stolen from the vehicle include a Canon digital camera, a GPS and CDs. The vehicle was not locked at the time but there was no damage to the vehicle.

On Nov. 24, around 10 p.m., there were two reports of theft from motor vehicles.

The first report noted a wallet left inside the vehicle was stolen. The wallet was located still inside the vehicle.

“Everything in the wallet was accounted for but ICBC documentation was stolen from the glove compartment, which contains the banking information for the vehicle’s monthly payments,” said Lanz.

The second report noted another vehicle was broken into sometime during the night on Nov. 23.

At the time, the vehicle was parked on 18th Street. Stolen from this vehicle was a document for the vehicle insurance, which was located further down the street.

“For safety reasons, all vehicles should be locked even when parked in your residence,” warned Lanz. “Any information regarding a person’s banking information should never be kept in a vehicle.”

SD51 receives funding to buy new school buses CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

School District 51 (SD51) will be receiving funding for the purchase of four new school buses as part of a $14 million investment by the province of British Columbia.

The school district will receive $540,523 for the four buses, which was requested in the district’s fiveyear plan.

Boundary-Similkameen MLA John Slater noted in the press release, “Rural families know firsthand there are challenges that come from living outside major centres – and getting kids to school can be foremost among them. These new buses will help our kids get to class in greater comfort.”

Jeanette Hanlon, secretary-treasurer for the SD51’s school board, was happy to hear about the approval.

“We can apply for it right away once we approve a new bylaw (to approve the transaction),” she explained. “The next meeting (on Dec. 11), board trustees will vote on a bylaw and when the buses come in we just get the money. It’s a pretty easy process.”

is

Hanlon pointed out the buses could be ordered as early as this week.

SD51 will be receiving four of the 125 new buses to be distributed across the province. The new diesel buses will reduce emissions and have better gas mileage than the current buses.

The release also announced that School Districts 53 (Okanagan Similkameen) and 67 (Okanagan Skaha) will also be receiving funding for new buses.

In order to qualify for a replacement bus from the government, the bus needs to be on a regular school route and have met or exceeded criteria regarding age and distance driven.

For a 78 to 84 passenger bus, it has to be 15 years old or driven 400,000 kilometres. For a 24 to 72 passenger bus, it has to be at least 12 years old or driven 325,000 kilometres, and for a minibus, which is eight to 24 passengers, at least 10 years old or driven 250,000 kilometres.

The next SD51 school board meeting is on Tuesday, Dec. 11 at the school board office in Grand Forks at 6 p.m.

Reminiscences

by Cassandra Chin

Empty hallways are filled with the sounds of an upbeat tune as music drifts through an open door.

It was the spring of 1979 when Doug Wille first stepped into the schools of Grand Forks to instruct young students about the magic of music.

Over 30 years later, Wille has become the longest serving teacher in School District 51 and continues to share his passion of music with aspiring students.

“I didn’t really plan on becoming a teacher and I didn’t go to school to become one,” he explained. “I just played lots of music and it seemed like a good idea to try to make money. I did apply for a job in Cranbrook before I came to Grand Forks and I ended up really liking it so I kept going.”

pop rock. Now solely teaching at Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS), music classes begin with basic theory for a day or two, where Wille teaches students the difference between a four beat and a two beat.

“Then they get a little quiz on what it looks like before I demonstrate all the instruments,” he explained.

“I usually have a couple of Grade 12 students as tutors for some instruments before stations are created.

All the kids get to try out all the instruments and get the feel of each instrument.”

Wille noted it all depends on the student and whether or not the instrument makes a noise, sounds good and how comfortable they are with their chosen instrument.

“You might have it in your head that you want to become a trumpet or sax player, but you might pick something up and you get a beautiful sound and it feels natural, they’ll switch,” he added.

“Usually once they get over the next couple of weeks, they settle in.”

Wille noted by letting the older students tutor, it gives the students a different experience.

“I taught priWille teaching a music class at Grand Forks Secondary vate lessons when I was 18 at my home School in the early 1980s. in Vancouver,” he Prior to coming to Grand Forks, Wille was then said. “It’s a great way for the students to figure out if working as a music teacher in Castlegar and was as- they want to teach.” sisted by a student teacher.

His first taste of music was when he was in Grade “The superintendent here asked to make my stu- 6 with a city band. dent assistant, who was only a year younger than me, Standing in line with his parents to join the North a full-time teacher so I could come here to save the Vancouver City Youth Band, Wille recalled the inmusic program,” Wille recalled. “I thought I was just structor looking at him and saying, “We need more going to be here for three months and I came here in trumpets.”

“So my dad gave over $40 and the instructor told After arriving, he acted as an internment teach- us he’d see us on Tuesday night for our lessons,” he er and taught multiple classes at all the schools. At noted. “My parents don’t play any instruments so Christina Lake Elementary School he focused on they were looking at it wondering what to do.”

“The rest of the classes were at the high school un“He would have 13 trumpet players come for a til I built up the program enough that they wanted me lesson and he’d number the chairs one to 13,” Wille there full-time,” he added. “The biggest change since said of his instructor, who also performed with the then was when I used to teach band, it used to be in Vancouver symphony. “He’d give us some drills to the little hut on the Perley grounds until they built the practice and tell us when we came back next week school extension for me.” saying, ‘I’ll know if you practiced because if you’re He also pointed out there has been a big drop in the best you’ll be in chair number one, or if you’re the the school population.

But it would be nice if the form and compete. school population were bigger with more kids.”

“The better you got, the more places you could At the moment, Wille conducts a 70-piece concert play,” he said. “(Our instructor) took us to the Canaband and a smaller 25-piece jazz band that focuses on dian championships, we went to Montreal for Expo

1967 when I was 14 years old, and to the Japan 1971 Expo. We did lots of real performances and competitions.”

Wille was also able to perform during Grey Cup games and march across football fields.

Although he now prefers producing sweet tunes from the flute, he does continue to enjoy other instruments.

“I play them all but some of them I play better than others,” he laughed. “Lately it’s been a lot of flute but I’d like to spend more time with the guitar and piano.”

It has been several years since his band has performed, but many will recall the wild days of Dr. Fun and the Night Crawlers, a big rhythm and blues band created over 20 years ago.

“Half of us were from here and the other half from Rossland, but we played at the Nakusp Music Festival and played in Spokane,” said Wille, adding they even put together a CD. “We’ve been apart for five or six years, but we had a three piece horn section and a four piece guitar section.”

The band performed at various local gatherings and venues, but also travelled to neighbouring communities and cities for big events.

“We might make a comeback one day and we’re all thinking of playing together again just to see how it will be,” he chuckled. “We all had a lot of fun.”

Not only is Wille a music teacher but he also teaches gym classes and is a regular athlete, having completed several marathons and triathlons, including the Canadian Iron Man. “It’s healthy to be interested in more than one thing. Some of my best students are well-rounded in academics and athletics,” he said. “It’s all about a balanced life and not to just stick to one thing.”

The most important point to Wille is that music is a universal language all over the world.

“I could probably teach a kid in China to play the trumpet and it wouldn’t matter if he couldn’t speak English or me Chinese,” he chuckled. “We wouldn’t even have to talk.”

As Christmas draws near and the semester for students is set to break for the year, Wille is preparing for the annual GFSS Christmas Concert, set for the last day of school on Thursday, Dec. 19.

Congratulations!

Wille, 59, with his guitar at home.

Mr. Wille is a fine example of our outstanding teachers in the Boundary District Teachers’ Association

The Boundary District Teachers’ Association would also like to congratulate Kevin Argue on his appointment as Superintendent of Schools commencing July 2013. Kevin is well respected by teachers across the district and we look forward to working with him next year as he assumes his new assignment at the school board office.

This shopping season it is more important than ever to reconsider your shopping habits.

With so many shopping options available, from online to cross border to big city outings, local shopping is often overlooked.

The impact of shopping locally is easily forgotten during the holiday shopping season, with consumers anxious to find an excuse to leave the community and enjoy some big city amenities.

There is a lot of talk around shopping local these days and for good reason.

Businesses in small rural communities across the country are struggling to survive and are in major competition with online businesses that are in a position to provide whatever you need, whenever you want and at very competitive prices.

And then there’s cross border shopping which, let’s face it, has been around since the beginning of time.

More importantly though, is in this weak economy, we always look for the best deal first and whether the deal is true or not, south of the border is where we look first.

I think as consumers we need to realize the dollars we spend in our community stay in our community.

Our local businesses are the biggest supporters of sports teams, not-for-profit organizations and local initiatives.

Studies show that for every dollar spent at a small local business, 32¢ leaves the

local economy.

But, when you spend that same dollar at a chain store, 57¢ leaves – that’s more than 50 per cent of the dollar that ceases to impact the area in which it was spent. Modest changes in our spending habits can generate substantial local economic impact.

The bottom line is, if we don’t support our local businesses how can we expect them to support us?

I’m not suggesting that every bit of your shopping is done locally or that you forgo that annual overnight big city visit but what I am suggesting is that we all slow down and spend more time and more money locally, to support our local merchants and inevitably our community.

– Sarah Winton is the manager for the Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce. Her column will appear in the Grand Forks Gazette monthly.

GRAND FORKS CHORAL SOCIETY

The Grand Forks Choral Society (GFCS) extends an invitation to all citizens of the Boundary to attend our Peace On Earth concert.

The shows are at Grand Forks Secondary School’s auditorium on Saturday, Dec. 8 at 7:30 p.m. and Sun-

day, Dec. 9 at 2 p.m.

Our program will focus on the theme of peace with only a few Christmas songs.

Why did director Joan Thompson choose the peace theme for her last GFCS choral concert?

“A ‘Peace On Earth’ concert illuminates music’s power in our walk to a more peaceful world,” said Thompson. “Because singing together builds peaceful communities and hope for the future as well.”

The community is certainly getting involved. The famous Second Street Singers have morphed into The Peace Choir and members of the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ (USCC) have created a 42-member Doukhobor community choir.

Who else might one hear at this concert?

We have peace activist Rosemary Phillips, violinist Ellen Tolson from Rock Creek, the children’s ensemble from Studio A, high school soloists, and a father/son team Jay and Damien Alblas from Christina Lake, all to honour the theme of our concert.

It would be a good thing to get your tickets early at either Thistle Pot Gifts or the gift shop at gallery 2.

It is with sadness that we bid Thompson and her light specialist Ken Flagel goodbye from the Grand Forks Choral

Society. She and Ken have created some incredible productions since January 2009. Joan is passing the baton to Kirsten Nicholsen who is willing and able to lead us on. “Peace On Earth,” Joan’s wish for us all.

The Grand Forks Choral Society’s early-December performances of Peace on Earth will be the last for Joan Thompson and Ken Flagel.

Silver Kettle Village is fun for seniors CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

Silver Kettle Village, Grand Fork’s newest retirement community, has welcomed its first residents this month.

The village provides independent and assisted living housing, hospitality, personal support services, and is designed for seniors who want a safe, rewarding and independent lifestyle without the responsibilities of home maintenance.

“From the village, it’s a short stroll to the local supermarket and a quick drive to the Boundary Hospital,” said Landon Elliott, marketing director for Golden Life Management. “Grand Forks offers something for everyone: enjoy quiet walks down the beautiful tree-lined streets, browse through the local art galleries, view historic heritage homes, or take a day to sunbathe at one of the many parks along the river.”

Golden Life Management signed a contract with Interior Health Authority to build Silver Kettle Village last April.

The independent living suites consist of studio one- and two-bedroom suites and have bright spacious kitchens, full bathrooms, and plenty of walk-in storage.

Elliot noted there is a monthly activity calendar that will be available to residents, featuring activities occurring at the village, birthday and anniversary celebrations, events, and various recreational opportunities, such as live music, movie nights, and morning exercises.

There are also public events such as the recent Veteran’s Celebration Luncheon, where over 100 residents participated in live music and food, as well as regular bus outings to neighbouring communities for day trips.

“When you get right down to it, life is about you – not your house, or the housekeeping, or the errands,” said Elliot. “You have other things you’d rather do, so leave the details to us.

It’s that easy. We’ll make your life as carefree as it can be.”

Elliot pointed out dinner is included in rent and the village dining rooms are filled with friendly faces, warm conversa-

Artisan Christmas Faire this week Celebrate the sixth annual Boundary Artisan Christmas Faire at gallery 2.

Come to gallery 2 in Grand Forks for the sixth annual BOUNDARY ARTISANS Boundary ASSOCIATION Artisan Christmas Faire, this Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Grand Forks Art and Heritage Gallery.

This two-day event features the original work of members of the Boundary Artisan Association.

This isn’t the “same old, same old,” contrary to rumours you’ve heard.

This year’s gathering of spectacular local talent promises to be the biggest and best show to date. With artists and artisans in every room of gallery 2, live harp music, refreshments by Habitat for Humanity, it will be the highlight of your Christmas tradition.

This is your only opportunity this season to speak to the artists and artisans about their work, learn about their motivation to create and find out what makes their work distinctive.

Make memories with the Boundary Artisans at gallery 2 this Friday and Saturday.

COMMUNITY z CHRISTMAS

Santa is coming to town!

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

The Grand Forks Santa Claus Parade is gearing up for its sixth year with this year’s theme focusing on Christmas around the world.

Starting at Selkirk College’s Grand Forks campus and making its way through downtown Grand Forks, co-ordinator Beverly Osachoff explained the parade’s theme was a committee decision.

“We have a team of three volunteers that make up the parade committee and every now and again we get together and brainstorm,” she said. “This year we’re celebrating Christmas on an international scale.”

The parade is open to all clubs, organizations or businesses and is free to all participants.

“We would like to know in advance that they’re coming so we can register them so we know how to organize the parade,” Osachoff added. “We’d like to know as soon as possible, and it’s best to let us know before the day of the parade.”

Osachoff pointed out the parade is a great way for people to promote what they do and to have a little fun in the community.

“It’s never a long parade because the weather can be uncertain that time of year but the idea is to get out, have some fun and kick off the season and get into the spirit,” she said. “There are prizes for first, second third place floats, Santa will be on site to judge the parade floats this year and you get extra points for sticking to your themes.”

Participants will also get free hot chocolate supplied by Overwaitea.

“The judges are always wooed by stuff like lights and music and lots of bling,” Osachoff said. “Other than that, we encourage everyone to come out to a fun, free, family event, and to show people what a great place downtown Grand Forks is.”

Application forms can be picked up at Yaletown Acupuncture, Your Dollar Store With More, Community Futures and the Grand Forks Gazette office.

Eating well and living healthy

Métis Association seeking help in Save the Kids fund

Lisa Brown of Grand Forks Diabetes and Lillian Warlimont of Surrey, B.C. were in attendance at the Adult Healthy Living Fair at Grand Forks Secondary School recently. The fair informed adults and family members about key services in the area that promote healthy and active lifestyles.

Save the Kids program will benefit five sick children in the community CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

The Boundary Métis Community Association (BMCA) is working to raise funds for sick children within Grand Forks.

Danny Williamson, president of BMCA, explained Sunshine Valley Community Services approached the group for monetary assistance and the idea to help the children sprung from there.

“There is one child that we know of, that happens to be Métis, who has a rare disease and they need extra medical attention,” he explained. “But there are also another six children who also need medical help. We’re looking to help all the children instead of just focusing on the one child. If we’re going to help one child in the community, we’re going to help them all.”

Ideas that have been discussed include a fishing derby at Wilgress Lake, as well as raffle draws and selling Aboriginal crafts.

“Apparently it won’t be cheap and the government financial services won’t cover after a certain amount and it leaves these kids

and their parents alone,” Williamson said. “We’re hoping the whole community will get involved to raise funds to help these kids. It’s a shame that in this day and age we don’t have the services or resources to help these kids.”

Charles Thomas Houle, who is assisting the BMCA, is also hoping to raise funds through selling firewood to the community.

Houle is currently cutting wood on a woodlot near Lynch Creek, though he pointed out any help in regards to donating saws, fuel or batteries would be appreciated.

He added local youth would also help in stacking and organizing the wood.

With the help of local companies and their woodlots, Houle plans to raise money for a trust fund.

“Depending on what people want, the prices will vary,” Houle said. “From being delivered, to different sizes and types of wood (such as larch or pine), or even split or non-split wood.”

The trust fund has yet to be determined, but BMCA hopes to get everything sorted and put together soon.

Holiday Decorating Ideas

TAMARA WHEELER

Seriously folks four weekends before the holidays, wow time to get ready. Now it’s not all about the cooking and baking for me, I love the decorating and creative ideas that go along with the cookie exchange parties, the staying up till midnight to make sure the fudge sauce is just creamy enough, and of course painting the Swedish cookies with green holly branches.

So the decorating will start us off, and I would love to share some of my special holiday hints and ideas. First let us head out to gather cedar bows and greens for my front planters and pots that are lonely since the summer flowers have faded.

I like to gather extra twigs and branches, they’re great to use inside.

Find a vase, small bucket or jar, crinkle wrapping paper or plastic wrap and set in bottom, use to help hold standing twigs, then hang small ornaments and Christmas balls or fill the bottom with small Christmas balls to hold the twigs and add a string of battery powered lights.

Fill a glass bowl with crumpled plastic wrap; leave about 3 inches from the rim. Pour water into the bowl and leave enough room for floating candles, they look like they are floating on ice.

One year I went to the glass shop and had a piece of Plexiglas cut to fit my coffee table, then I found all the kid’s pictures of them and Santa (even the “crying with Santa” ones) and collaged them with old Christmas cards on the table and topped it with the plexiglas. My husband did have to drill two screws into the table to hold it but it was so worth it to see the boys walk around and around that table laughing and reminiscing. Of course I still use the glass top to showcase for other holidays or special occasions.

I love using what I already have so here’s a use for all those wine glasses and other glasses that we don’t have a set of anymore. Line them up, upside down as a centrepiece for your dining table, now find those homemade Christmas ornaments (the ones the kids made) or special ornaments that really don’t match the tree this year and fit them under the glasses. Mix and match the sizes, add a few loose Christmas balls and you’ll end up with a conversation piece too.

Let the aroma of fresh baked cookies float through the house as you sort out the Christmas ornaments, lights and decorations. Savour every smell and moment.

CHOCOLATE MACAROONS 2 cups semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips 4 large eggs 1 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla ½ tsp fresh lemon juice 1-1/2 cup sweetened flaked or shredded coconut 1.

It has been about a year since city councillors Bob Kendel and Gary Smith were elected into office and both have learned a lot since they first took the positions.

For Kendel, the year has been an interesting experience.

“It’s been an extraordinary learning curve and probably one of the most interesting and challenging things I’ve ever done,” he said. “The biggest thing has been meeting all the people in the region that are making all this happen (new development and infrastructure repair) not just in Grand Forks, but in the area and how well we mesh together.”

He noted that this first year has been focused on laying down a good foundation for the next two years, including the creation of the Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC).

“It’s not a fast process and it takes a lot of commitment over the long term by a lot of people to make anything positive happen,” he explained.

“You need to have a good, solid groundwork and I believe we have a group of good people on the economic development and a good council that are willing to work together. All of those things should make things go forward.”

Some future projects Kendel would like to see are an initiative to promote the Grand Forks Airport and increasing accessibility within the community to bolster the local economy.

“My conversations with the general public have been with guarded optimism that things are looking, overall, more positive for the community,” Kendel concluded. “The most difficult thing is having people look at you slightly differ-

ent the day after the election than the day before the election.”

Also completing his first year in office, Smith has learned a lot about city council and has enjoyed the experience so far.

“On the outside you see things getting done or not done that may not be to your liking, but when you get out there to start campaigning to get into office, you don’t have the full view of the real picture,” Smith recalled. “The first term is learning what that full view is and the scope of our ability to work on behalf of the city and our constituents. Based on that knowledge now, I’m looking forward to moving ahead in the second year.”

A key project Smith is currently working with EDAC is developing the new brand for the city to strengthen the economy.

Smith also pointed out his work with collecting pesticides, the bat house project, nephelometer and wildlife management.

“The most important project to date included working on the Airport Fly-in Show and tying it in with the market to Market (Ave),” he said. “It served as a catalyst to get people downtown and excited about downtown. The carry-on from that is now we’ve had two downtown business meetings and they’re talking about putting together a merchants’ association and that’s where I’d like to focus.”

Smith went on to say, “I’d like to facilitate people and help them do what they want to do, and making downtown Grand Forks more lively.”

A future project both councilors would like to see is the creation of a community hall for the entire city to enjoy.

Grand Forks Peewee Rep Team after winning a recent tournament where they placed third amongst 11 other teams.

Submitted Photo

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

The Grand Forks Peewee Rep Team is off to a great start as it competes against strong opponents.

Head coach Darryl Turner pointed out that competing against tougher teams has helped teach the players the value of perseverance.

“We’re very excited with how we’ve been developing,” he said. “We’re six wins and eight losses so far this year and quite often there were some questions last year about whether we could have a rep team this year. What happened is we took every kid who played this year and last year and put them on the rep team.”

A co-ed team made up of 12- to 13-year-olds, the Grand Forks Peewee Rep Team recently placed third in a Tier 3 tournament in Oliver out of 11 teams.

In B.C., there are Tiers 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the bigger associations. An association that isn’t big enough to have a Tier 1 team will start with a Tier 2 team or lower. Grand Forks has a Tier 4 rep team.

“For example, last year, Trail had Tier 2 and 3 teams, but they didn’t have a Tier 4, so we’re facing off against teams that are ranked higher and we play in the league with stronger teams,” Turner said. “They have kids who are strong and are able to be competitive against their communities – we have to be quite strong to play competitively against them.”

Out of 14 games the peewee rep team has played so far, they have only had three against Tier 4 teams and 11 games have been against Tier 3 teams.

“We’re playing better competition and as a coaching staff, we’re very excited,” Turner said.

He pointed out last year’s season began with 13 losses in the team’s first 14 games.

“It was hard to convince the kids that they were doing well and that they were just competing against bigger, stronger, better teams,” he said. “As the year went on, we were .500 and we finished the year 13-12 in the last 25 games. We knew that this year we had the potential to be really good.”

This year has started off promising, as the team has already faced off against tougher teams and are holding steady.

However, Turner noted hockey not only teaches kids how to stay active but also life skills.

“It’s developing people, not just hockey players,” he said.

“Things like responsibility at a young age, being prepared for the game, looking after your equipment, playing with a team and playing with each other, meeting challenges and setting goals.”

He added it’s about teaching not to give up and to keep going until they succeed.

“The kids are learning a bunch of life lessons that are really going to benefit them down the road, whether they are going to become great hockey players or great people,” he concluded.

The peewee rep team will be facing off against Spokane’s A Team (Tier 2) on Saturday, Dec. 1 at 2:45 p.m. at the Grand Forks Arena, followed by a Sunday game at Nelson.

There will be a home tournament from Feb. 8 to 10 leading up to the provincials in March that will be hosted by Grand Forks.

The brain’s development depends entirely on the genes with which you are born.

Early experience and interaction with the environment are most critical in a child’s brain development.

A toddler’s brain is less active than the brain of a college student.

A 3-year-old toddler’s brain is twice as active as an adult’s brain.

Talking to a baby is not important because he or she can’t understand what you are saying.

Talking to young children establishes foundations for learning language during early critical periods when learning is easiest for a child.

Children need special help and specific educational toys to develop their brainpower.

What children need most is loving care and new experiences, not special attention or costly toys. Talking, singing, playing and reading are some of the key activities that build a child’s brain. taken from http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/yf/famsci/fs609w.htm

GFSS senior v-ball season ends

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter

The Grand Forks Secondary School’s senior girl’s volleyball team will not be participating in the provincials this year after placing fifth in a tournament in Castlegar from Nov. 16 to 17.

“The weekend was tough – the girls played really well at

times and then at other times they seemed to lose their focus a bit,” said head coach Helen Argue. “We lost our first two matches on Nov. 16 (Salmo and Elkford). The match against Salmo was disappointing, as the girls just couldn’t seem to get things going, and the match against Elkford was exciting though and the girls played well but still lost.”

On (Nov. 17), the girl’s team played against Fernie for their first game and won, but lost the next two games.

“We played Elkford again for 5th place and won,” said Argue. “It was a fantastic match and the girls were in it to win and they did.”

The team finished in second at a home tournament earlier in the month.

Grand Forks Secondary School senior Wolves’ volleyball players (L-R): Jessica Smith, Tyra Rexin and Shayna Plotnikoff.

Grand Forks hammers Chase 8-3 in Midway KARL YU

Gazette Editor

The final of Saturday night’s Chase Heat-Grand Forks Border Bruins game in Midway was 8-3, with the locals coming out on the winning end.

While there was no scoring in the first, the floodgates opened for Grand Forks in the second period and the team never looked back.

Connor Gross, Nathan Cory, Brandon Savaia, Connor Bowen, Jacob Jeske, Jackson Purvis, Coleton Dawson and Connor Kidd scored for the Border Bruins while Robert Dunsmuir stopped 32 of 35 shots to earn the win.

“It was definitely nice, we were firing on all cylinders and I don’t think Chase put its best foot forward,” explained Nick Deschenes, head coach and GM of the Border Bruins. “So that combination, a good crowd, a good environment in Midway, we ended up scoring eight goals so it was nice for us to start connecting,” Jeske (four points on the night) and Purvis (three points) were the first and second star selections respectively and Jeske has certainly made an impression since joining the team in early-November – he has nine points in six games with Grand Forks.

“Right now he’s pretty confident,” Deschenes said of 17-year-old Jeske. “He’s a younger player but he’s fitting in really well with Connor Gross and Jackson Purvis, so as a line, they’re pretty strong so that’s a big key to his success right now.”

The eight goals by the team is not only the highest offensive output by the team this year but over the past few seasons, a testament to the team’s desire and work ethic according to the coach.

“It’s tough to score goals but it’s even tougher if you’re not hungry and not doing the right things to score goals and we were doing the right things so that was the end result,” said Deschenes.

Unfortunately, the team wasn’t able to carry any momentum to a road game against the Spokane Braves on Sunday afternoon and lost 6-4.

Savaia, Purvis (with a pair) and defenceman Chase Anchikoski scored for Grand Forks in that game.

Dunsmuir started in net again, as Dominic Stadnyk was suffering with a lower body injury. Deschenes said he’s day-to-day and should be good for games this coming weekend “We really needed to beat Spokane, that’s a given, and we just lacked in a lot of areas (Sunday afternoon) but things are moving forward and it’s business as usual,” Deschenes said.

The team also lost 6-4 to the Castlegar Rebels last Thursday with Dawson, Bowen, Brendan Enns and Gross scoring for Grand Forks.

Stadnyk stopped 40 of 46 shots that game.

The Border Bruins play a homeand-home series with the Nelson Leafs, with a game in Grand Forks on Thursday and one in Nelson on Friday. The team then hosts Kimberley on Saturday.

Youth athletes with special needs have an opportunity to improve their core skills thanks to a new program.

Tammy Schembri, Grand Forks’ Special Olympics co-ordinator, says that the Special Olympic FUNdamentals program is for athletes between two and 11 years of age and the classes take place Saturday mornings between 10 to 11 a.m. in a meeting room at Grand Forks Arena.

“It’s about learning motor skills, playing with equipment, like balls and hoops. It’s game-oriented. The (kids) come and play games and they have a

nutritious snack halfway through and then they finish up,” Schembri explains.

“It’s an entry level Special Olympics program and it has laid out lesson plans and a decent amount of structure,” says coach Dave Evdokimoff.

“It’s just a matter of developing some skills and basically letting the kids have some fun but there are some core skills that they can take away by the end of it and progress further into sports and an active lifestyle.”

Evdokimoff said that the program began with the basics – running, jumping, balance – and will move into throwing and foot-related co-ordination skills.

Schembri says that the FUNdamentals program will hopefully give the ath-

letes the foundation for athletics later in their lives.

“We’re hoping to make it an annual event for (the athletes) and this is just to get the younger athletes started to learn motor skills for down the road when they want to get into sport programs with Special Olympics,” Schembri says.

The 12-week program, which started on Nov. 17, will break for Christmas after the Dec. 8 session before reconvening and finishing off its run in the new year.

Anyone wanting more information can contact Schembri at 250-442-3110 and people can show up at Grand Forks Arena on Saturdays and sign up as well.

There is no fee for the program and it is funded by Special Olympics B.C.

launches its largest annual fundraiser: The BC LUNG Christmas Seal ASSOCIATION campaign.

For over 100 years, the arrival of Christmas Seals in mailboxes across Canada has been a cherished holiday tradition and has helped to raise much-needed funds for vital lung health and air quality research, programs and initiatives across the province.

BC Lung Association volunteer director Michele Caskey encourages British Columbians to help the Christmas Seals campaign by using Lung Association Christmas seals on their Christmas cards and donating generously to the cause.

“This year our goal for the Christmas Seals campaign is to raise $1 million. With these funds, the association will fund vital lung health research, education and advocacy for the one in five British Columbians living with lung disease.

We urge British Columbians to give as much as they can this holiday season,” says Caskey.
