Grand Forks Fire Rescue and RCMP responded to another fire in the North Fork Road area last Thursday.

According to Grand Forks Fire Chief Dale Heriot, there was a vehicle fire 20 kilometres up North Fork Road and Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison said the fire is in the same area as a number of previous fires – it is the RCMP’s top priority, he said.

“It’s on the same property again, up Miller Creek Road, and this time they burnt up an old Blue Bird school bus (that was unlicensed and uninsured),” Harrison explained. “That’s the

fourth one on that property so, we’re just totally perplexed as to what’s going on up there.

We think it’s localized. We’ve talked to an awful lot of people associated to the property and we don’t seem to be getting anywhere. There’s no doubt in our mind somebody up there knows what’s going on and we will find that person and find out what they know here soon.”

Harrison said police worry that if the fires continue, someone could be hurt and don’t know if there is a relation to an incident at Hummingbird Bridge last weekend, though the Thursday fire is in the same area.

“That leads us to believe that somebody’s got a grudge or somebody’s got a motive out there regarding that particular property and that’s

where everything is happening,” he said.

And like the fire at Hummingbird Bridge, RCMP are extending a plea to the public to call with tips.

“What somebody might think is insignificant might be just that last little piece of the puzzle we need to lead us straight to who’s responsible here,” said Harrison. “We’re not seeing a clear pattern but it’s almost like a weekly event.”

People with information can call Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288. And as of Monday morning, Harrison said no one had called in.

“We’re hoping to get someone from the public to come forward with something but nothing so far,” he said. “We’re continuing to investigate so we’ll see what shakes out of it.”

We make it simple to save for the future while having something to spend today.

NEWS z POLICE REPORT

Despite asbestos, thief still robs Winnie Hotel

KARL YU

Gazette Editor

The Winnipeg Hotel in Grand Forks is slated for demolition and asbestos is being removed but that didn’t stop someone from breaking and entering (B&E) into the hotel.

According to Grand Forks RCMP, a B&E and theft were reported at 7:25 a.m. on Feb. 20.

“Someone got in there and removed about 244 metres of extension cord,” said Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. “Missing is a plastic container that had the yellow extension cord inside and it’s worth approximately $1,300.”

Harrison said that due to the incident, there is now security at the building and said that there is no reason why unauthorized people should be in the structure, as asbestos is toxic.

“It is a hazard,” Harrison went on to say.

The Winnipeg Hotel suffered damage in a fire about a year ago and will be torn down, with a liquor store set to take its place.

SUV hits logging truck but no injuries On Feb. 22 at 4:17 a.m., police received report of an accident at the intersection of 68th Avenue and Second Street.

“A Dodge Durango ran a stop sign and collided with the front of a loaded logging truck. There were no injuries and no further police assistance required,” Harrison said. “Thankfully, it was just property damage.” Both vehicles sustained over $1,000 worth of damage.

Another deer-caused accident Also on Feb. 22 (at 8:15 a.m.) was an accident that occurred just east of 6331 Highway 3 in Grand Forks. Harrison said the driver was coming around an icy corner in a 2007 Chevy Cobalt

when she swerved into the oncoming lane to avoid a deer.

“She lost control and went off the road right.

We’ve had cases of deer coming off the rock and bluff onto the highway over the years, so it is a spot where deer cross to go over to the river,” Harrison explained, adding that damage consisted of a pulled off front bumper and headlights and turn lights – damage was approximately $7,000 but there were no injuries.

Top ‘dogs’ Maralynn Rehbein’s Grade 4/5 Christina Lake Elementary class held a hot dog sale fundraiser with proceeds going to the Boundary Community Food Bank. Over $240 was raised and here, student Damon Ellenton presents a cheque to Boundary Community Food Bank President Larry Dickerson.

Grand Forks RCMP say that about $1,300 of extension cord was stolen from the Winnipeg Hotel in Grand Forks, which is currently being prepped for demolition. Asbestos is being removed, which is dangerous.

Perepolkin recovering, rehabbing JIM HOLTZ

For the Grand Forks Gazette

Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Area D Director Irene Perepolkin is steadily recovering from a stroke.

Perepolkin is still at a hospital in Kelowna continuing with rehabilitation.

“She is doing great,” said daughter Nancy via email. “Her body was not affected and her speech is slowly returning. She looks great but cannot yet speak well.”

Perepolkin suffered the stroke in late-January and has been replaced in the interim by Roly Russell.

There will be an Area D town hall this Monday at the seniors’ hall.

z BYLAWS

City looks at graduated ticket system

JIM HOLTZ

For the Grand Forks Gazette

The deer problem continues to plague Grand Forks city council.

At the Feb. 18 city council primary committee meeting, the problem came up again when a local resident remarked during question period that a neighbour fed deer daily on her property.

The resident claimed that a number of deer, attracted to the feeding station, had been struck by cars. Mayor Brian Taylor acknowledged that those who insist on feeding deer were indeed a problem, but that the problem was also caused by an urban environment that had many attractive features for deer.

At the moment, though the city has a bylaw prohibiting the feeding of deer, it carries no weight, Taylor said, and attempts by other Kootenay communities to enforce compliance through the courts has proved extremely expensive to taxpayers.

“We know that some of these people who feed deer would love to have us try to take them to court, which would cost the taxpayer a massive

amount of money and really achieve nothing but make a martyr out of the deer feeders. So the approach that the city is taking is that it is looking into taking a graduated ticket system, which would allow it to put pressure on in situations like this.”

Taylor indicated that the city wished to find solutions that would prevent the kind of conflict between neighbours that the presence of the deer has caused.

“It is driving wedges between people in residential areas,” Taylor said.

City CAO Doug Allin indicated that in some communities, fines of $100 a day have been suggested, an amount that is added on to annual property taxes. The problem, Taylor said, has been left up to municipalities to deal with.

Despite health, safety and animal welfare and conservation issues, no provincial ministry has been given the mandate from the government to assume any responsibility.

News tips

New council meeting format on March 4

KARL YU

Gazette Editor

Grand Forks city council has approved changes to its primary meeting structure with changes taking place for its next meeting on March 4.

The previous system saw council recessing into primary committee meetings during the regular committee meetings (which occurred in the evenings) and the city will now hold a committee of the whole (COTW) meeting from 9 a.m. to noon instead, with regular council still meeting at night.

According to information from the city, the COTW is a less formal forum for discussing concerns.

Rather than delegations presenting to council during the evening hours, they can now do so in the morning hours – staff will also be in attendance to speak on their reports and answer any questions COTW may have as well.

COTW has the ability to recommend actions for council’s consideration.

“A committee of the whole does not have the authority to initiate an action (limited to providing direction to Chief Administrative Officer Doug Allin). Instead, it reviews and gathers information on behalf of council relative to a particular topic,” the city said.

City council would then decide at regular council meetings whether or not to adopt recommendations.

Coun. Gary Smith proposed the motion for final reading of the re-

lated bylaw (Procedure Bylaw No. 1946, 2013) at council’s Feb. 18 meeting and Coun. Patrick O’Doherty seconded.

All of council (Smith, O’Doherty, Mayor Brian Taylor and Councillors Neil Krog, Bob Kendel and Cher Wyers) voted in favour, save for Coun. Michael Wirischagin, who was sick when first, second and third reading for the bylaw took place at a meeting on Feb. 4.

“I don’t disagree with the idea, I think a committee of the whole is a wonderful concept; however, being somebody who is 30-something with a family, it makes it very difficult to run a normal life in the sense that, because of this, a 9 to 12 meeting on a weekday puts me in a position where I have two choices. I can either hold a 9 to 5 job and not attend the meetings or attend the meetings and not have a 9 to 5 job,” explained Wirischagin.

“In a lot of (other) municipalities that hold these committees of the whole meetings, the remuneration for councillors is much higher and it gives the ability not to hold a 9 to 5 job but in a position where we’re only making $600 every two weeks, it’s very difficult for someone of my age, with three children and a wife, it’s very difficult to support family off of this.”

Wirischagin said he had every right to hold public office and support his family but would be unable to do so with a meeting from 9 a.m. to noon.

The meeting will take place the morning of March 4.

z Our View

Why do you feel the need to bully kid?

Hey kid, I didn’t hear what you said but I saw you talking down to that boy there. Is something the matter?

You looked angry and he looked really intimidated.

Really?

So what if he’s wearing pink and he likes Lady Gaga? Is that having a detrimental effect on your life?

And what about the group of girls over there, seems a little suspect that you’re surrounding that other girl – there’s seems to be a lot of negativity.

She’s a whore and nobody likes her? What are you basing that on? That’s what I thought.

You in the suit. Why are you berating that person in the cubicle? The person seems to be working hard and really stressed out. If the person is left alone, maybe they’ll get their work done.

And that person on the computer, not the most appropriate picture you have there, you sure it’s good to be posting it online? The one at the computer beside that person, that crowd in the video sure seems to be beating on that lone child, it’s a 15-on-one. Bad odds and the poor kid seems to be bleeding. You realize you could get in trouble for posting that, let alone being on the scene and doing nothing to stop it right?

And the police officer that’s towering over that driver that’s been pulled over. The person was merely speeding, no need to invade personal space and intimidate them. You’re supposed to serve and protect.

You all need to take a look at what you’re doing.

Does it really matter what colour of shirt a person wears or what type of music they like? No. Just because someone’s shy and seemingly timid, doesn’t make them someone to target and harass.

Just because you’re in a position of power, doesn’t mean you can dump over your subordinates.

Maybe it’s not that the person you’re talking down to that has the problem; maybe it’s you.

Maybe you have some misplaced anger, or are a victim of bullying yourself.

Whatever the reason, don’t take it out on others.

Bullying victims can seek help and so can you. End the vicious circle.

Question of the Week

from www.grandforksgazette.ca Will you go to the Traveling World Community Film Festival at GFSS this weekend?

YES 22%

As a teenager and young adult, I didn’t really care for documentaries. I craved that popcorn blockbuster movie that Hollywood always seems to be churning out.

Maybe it’s age, maybe it’s the realization that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sly Stallone are crappy actors, but I’ve pulled the proverbial 180.

Not that I don’t like blockbuster movies still – as I recently saw and enjoyed Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained and loved it – it’s just that I’m more willing to watch a doc.

Sports channel ESPN has a fantastic documentary series (30 for 30) covering all manner of interesting topics from drug lord Pablo Escobar, slain Columbian player Andres Escobar and the growth and fall of soccer in Columbia and its relation to the drug trade, and the sports gambler Jimmy “The Greek” Snyder.

The Traveling World Com-

z Yu Speak

KARL YU

munity Festival was this weekend at Grand Forks Secondary School and again there were some good documentaries, although the documentary I saw, GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth, didn’t tickle my fancy as much as others I have seen in the past (page 8).

There have been others, including one of my all-time festival favourites, Soundtrack for a Revolution, documenting the American civil rights movement and the music and songs associated with it.

Unlike a Stallone or Arnold flick, documentaries don’t follow a formula (except for ones by Michael Moore).

z Your View

They can be minutes or hours long and the subject matter varies.

Whether it’s civil rights or the documenting of Maude Barlow and the Council of Canadians in their numerous efforts, the documentary really isn’t a mindless escape from reality but rather a slice of reality, food for thought.

As the No Boundaries Film Club said in its article about the festival last week, “Documentary films are meant to educate, inspire action … ” While I might still enjoy the tale of a metal cyborg coming back in time to either thwart or aid an anti-technology resistance movement or the story of an old Italian boxer trying to give it another go, I also enjoy films that aren’t blockbuster material.

The amount of hair on my head is certainly decreasing with age but as I get older, it’s allowing me to be more open-minded as well.

LETTERS z ENVIRONMENT

Companies stealing resources Editor: CBC recently ran a documentary on a Canadian (Canadian by adoption because of reduced costs and favourable environment) mining company pursuing its mining rights in Central America.

Mining rights from where I ask? Colonialism?

The right to march in and take, under the guise of corporate social responsibilities?

Their astonishment at the majority reaction is naive.

What they say? These people do not want progress/jobs, while we hoard their gold and give them a clinic or two?

Their responsibilities, in reality, as they admitted, are to their shareholders.

Canada is now seeing the reversal of this kind of situation, of foreign investments, in a huge way.

I believe we will live the dire consequences.

What is presently being removed from the Boundary, instead of remaining within these communities and giving livelihoods and offering sustainability, is whisked up by big business.

We need a community forest for local workers and local foresters, who invest in their own community and help it thrive. Bad planning and bad management have dwindled timber supplies and what is left are bad roads. Wood, water and minerals all fall into the category of grab and run.

lies will join us for the weeklong event and that each will spend approximately $2,000, generating $200,000 of economic activity associated with this sporting event in our community.

Hosting this tournament will come at a significant expense (primarily costs for ice and officials) and it will require the help of many volunteers.

Revenue sources for GFMHA are limited to nominal gate fees, 50/50, apparel sales, fundraising, sponsorship and donations. We are thankful for the financial support that we have received and for the volunteers that have stepped forward.

We do need more financial support and more volunteers are needed.

Volunteers are required for security, gate admission, scorekeeping, running the clock, 50/50, etc.

If you are interested in offering financial support through sponsorship or donations, or if you are interested in volunteering, please contact our fundraising co-ordinator, Colleen McKay, at 250-442-0492.

Donations can be sent by mail to GFMHA at Box 901.

Thanks for your consideration.

Please plan to come out to cheer on our young Bruins!

I also hope you will be ready to ask those who put their name forward as candidates in the upcoming provincial election if they support the Rural BC Project and how they intend to do that. Rural BC has taken a backseat for a long, long time.

On March 6, we are to meet with the province in Victoria to present our ideas and ask to work with the province as rural communities to create a strategy for rural B.C., a strategy that we have a voice in, a strategy that will put a rural lens on decision making.

There are provinces already that do just that; Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec all have rural strategies.

Statistics show that many B.C. rural communities have been in decline for the past 30 years.

Can this rural decline be reversed? Directors of the three B.C. Interior Beetle Action Coalitions believe it can.

Their recently released position paper, titled “The Pathway To Prosperity In British Columbia Runs Through Its Rural Place – A long-term strategy for Rural Development,” identifies 20 recommendations and steps to what they believe are necessary to reversing the tide of this decline.

The Beetle Action Coalition, in the development of the position paper, involved participation from a number of stakeholders including the Fraser Basin Council, Northern Development Initiative Trust, Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust, University of Northern British Columbia, Columbia Basin Trust, Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training, Selkirk College, Community Futures Boundary and Okanagan Similkameen, and Columbia Shuswap Regional District.

British Columbia is not alone. In fact, rural regions in North America and western Europe, with similar issues, have clearly demonstrated that with appropriate long-term rural development programs, the decline can be reversed.

For starters, politicians at all levels of government need to be convinced that a systemic rural economic problem exists and to commit the necessary resources to develop a long-term strategy with communities and local stakeholders groups. The three Beetle Action Coalitions: Southern Interior, Cariboo-Chilcotin and Omineca now have the attention of government and are preparing to work collaboratively.

The Beetle Action Coalitions believe turning the tide of rural decline needs three crucial conditions: 1. Long-term rural strategy to address the rural/urban imbalance, create government policies with a rural lens and engage all levels of government.

2. Senior minister responsible for Rural BC. 3. Venture Capital Program specifically created to help with business development and expansion in rural B.C. The Beetle Action Coalitions maintain that the issue of rural decline should not be political.

It’s about B.C. citizens living in rural communities, providing stewardship to the province’s natural resources and working in industry and supportive services.

It’s about preserving rural and First Nations community’s social, cultural and economic viability.

The road to recovery will require co-operation between First Nations, non-First Nations people, economic development organizations, other stakeholders, all levels of government and the beetle action coalitions.

View the position paper at www.sibacs.com/projects/.

The Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition has a vision for rural communities: Allow for more local control and decision making; create more regional collaboration; involve rural community leaders in decision making; build strong economic development and business linkage to First Nations and to preserve the rural community lifestyle.

I urge everyone to read the background information, including the document “50 Years of Rural Development and What Rural BC Needs to Succeed” at the site above site and to ask the tough questions of our elected officials no matter what party they are with.

I will be happy to provide updates as we, I hope, move forward.

COMMUNITY z DOCUMENTARIES

Three film reviews from festival

Gazette Staff

The No Boundaries Film Club presented the 2013 Traveling Community Film Festival this past weekend with 14 documentaries over three days. Here are some reviews.

My Neighbourhood My Neighbourhood by Rebekah Wingert-Jabi and Julia Bacha, is a faintly optimistic film about the efforts of a minority of Israeli Jews to protest against the eviction of Palestinians in East Jerusalem. The film focuses on Sheikh Jarrah, a section of East Jerusalem inhabited by Muslim Palestinians for decades, and the neighbourhood of 12-year-old Mohammed El Kurd.

It is being taken over by ultra-conservative Jewish settlers who believe that their right to the land is of biblical origin.

The level of religious fanaticism depicted in the film by the settlers is equal in ferocity to that displayed by the Muslim extremists more frequently seen in mainstream media.

The film shows the systematic takeover of the neighbourhood, supported by the government and the army. Because the story is told through young Mohammed’s eyes, the viewer wonders how all the violence toward his family will affect him.

However, the filmmakers choose to leave the viewer sharing the optimism expressed by Mohammed after he witnesses the participation of several thousand Jews protesting side-by-side with the Palestinians.

He decides that he would like to pursue a legal career to fight for Palestinian rights.

After watching the tactics of the belligerent and callous Jewish settlers and listening to the self-serving and sim-

plistic religious justification for their actions, the viewer had been afraid he might decide to seek a more violent course of action. – Jim Holtz Paraiso for Sale Paraiso for Sale highlighted the loss of property rights of the indigenous people of the Boca del Toro islands in Panama.

The story, which has repeated itself many times in many other places in the world, demonstrated the difficulties that the poor, native peoples in underdeveloped countries face when the land on which they live turns out to be desired by the wealthy. Though supposedly guaranteed property rights by the Panamanian constitution, the local inhabitants of Boca del Toro are nevertheless removed from property on which they have lived for many years by foreigner developers who have used money, the legal system and political influence to dispossess them.

The impact of the film was enhanced

by filmmaker Anayansi Prado’s decision to focus on three quite different individuals affected by the foreign takeover: Feliciano, an activist who takes the fight for the rights of his Ngobe Bugle people all the way to the UN; Dario, who tries, but fails, to rally the support of the poor to win the local mayoral race; and a retired couple from Florida, who must give up their retirement home when they can no longer afford to fight a developer’s claims that all their legal documentation is invalid.

Only Feliciano vows to keep fighting the developers. His perseverance is especially admirable because he has no illusion about the difficulties he faces battling powerful interests, weak and corrupt officials, and pervasive indifference toward his people. – Jim Holtz GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth Go big or go home you say? Not according to director Dave Gardner. With his campaign for Colorado Springs’ council as a side story, Gardner discusses his staunch anti-growth stance.

Despite water shortages and some species being endangered, many people – whether it be politicians, economists or developers – are banging on the “we must have growth” drum, much to Gardner’s disdain.

“Our growth-centric system is broken. It’s not providing the happiness or the prosperity we seek. But that’s good news; it means a shift to a sustainable model will be good for us. We’ll be happier and more prosperous,” he says.

An interesting topic given all the talk of population growth, sustainability, the rising price of real estate and increase in development in many areas of British Columbia but a little too preachy for my liking. Gardner seems a little too selfrighteous despite his valid concerns.

Kootenay Music Awards taking nominations with voting in April

BLACK PRESS Submitted

Kootenay Music Awards are back for a second year of celebrating our homegrown talent.

Sponsored by the Nelson Brewing Company and Black Press, the awards are currently accepting nominations for artists in every genre of music – from punk rock to folk bands and electronic producers. There’s also awards for the year’s best artist, album and song.

“If you’re making music in the Kootenays and you have an MP3 you can send us, we want to hear from you,” said Chad Hansen, founder and president of the Kootenay Music Awards.

A panel of music industry professionals will listen to every submission and shortlist the top four or five entries in each of the 10 categories. Then it will be up to the public to decide with their online votes which artists deserve the titles. The winners will be announced at an awards banquet at Nelson’s Spiritbar on May 10.

Hansen said the contest provides incredible exposure for the shortlisted artists. “Last year, artists were getting

2,000 unique listens on the tracks up for awards,” he said. “It’s a really great opportunity for an up-and-comer or established artists alike to get exposed to new audiences in all of the communities in the Kootenays.”

Last year it was Fernie’s Shred Kelly that went away with the coveted title of Artist of the Year, while Nelson’s The Automation was named best new band.

ter the competition this year.

“There’s so much musical talent in the Kootenays,” he said. “There’s great bands just jamming in their basements or playing for the dinner crowd at local restaurants — we want to dig out those hidden gems.”

With the help of Black Press community papers, including the Grand Forks Gazette, all the performers in the running for an award will be in the spotlight.

“The reach of the awards has grown exponentially,” Hansen said. “We’ll be exposing people to artists from Golden to Grand Forks and all the communities in between.”

To nominate yourself or someone else for a Kootenay Music Award, go to kootenaymusicawards.ca and click “nominate” in the page banner.

Nominations close March 31 and online voting will run April 7 to 30.

Other sponsors for the event are AM Ford (Platinum), Selkirk College (Platinum), Chatterson Drive (Gold), Wapiti Music Festival (Gold), Kootenay Savings Credit Union (Gold), Bee Kissed Body Piercing (Gold), Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism (Gold) and Nelson’s Ric’s Lounge and Grill (Silver).

Grand Forks ATV Club holds fun night recently

New library delivery service z Check It Out

Updates on club project given at event z Local Submission

DOUG ZORN

The Grand Forks ATV Club held a Fun Night at Clyde’s Pub on Feb. 22 to appreciate its members and update them on the club’s mapping project.

The club had received $25,000 from New Horizons for Seniors to help fund the project entitled “Get up, Get Out, Join In, and Ride Safe,” which involved creating a trail network geared towards getting users out onto the local trails safely.

The 50-plus members and guests were heard commenting on what a great time they were having, how good the food was and that the laughs where long.

Guest speakers included representatives from ATVBC, Boundary Weed Management, the Ministry

of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations, a member of the Grand Forks city council, and B&F Sales and Service.

There where two large maps showing over 1,400 kilometres of trails the club has identified, the six recreation sites the club is going to maintain and many points of interest that the club has chosen to highlight.

As part of their project, the club is also developing a map book, which will be available for purchase this spring.

The members expressed appreciation to the projects and events committee for its untiring work moving the evening and project forward. Ray Johnson entertained with his humour and wit, conducting many draws as the club gave away great prizes from sponsors.

Everyone is hoping for an early spring so they can start riding. For more information on the club, please visit their website www.gfatv.ca.

I’m so excited. And I just can’t hide it.

Here’s why: the library is launching a brand-new service to deliver books and other items to homebound patrons!

The Homebound Delivery Service will be available to anyone who cannot come to the library to pick up materials – whether it’s a 14-year-old boy who broke his leg and is bed-ridden for three months or a grandmother living at an extended care facility. Patrons can either call in requests for specific books/DVDs/magazines/ etc, or they can request that items be picked out for them based on their preferred genres or authors. Give us a call at 250442-3944 if you want to find out more.

AGM Our annual general meeting (AGM) will be held at the library on March 6 at 7 p.m.

We’ll keep it brief, and will

provide refreshments – come to meet your new and existing board members and to find out what’s been keeping us busy here at the library.

Your family tree If you’re the kind of person who likes historical novels, you might like digging into your own family history.

COMMUNITY z DRINKING WATER

Greenwood again awarded for water

PAT KELLY

Boundary Creek Times

Greenwood’s municipal water has once again made the grade at the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Festival as Canada’s smallest city took bronze last weekend in the Best Tasting Municipal Water category.

After winning gold in 2012, the city bottled some of the water and labeled it as Greenwood Gold.

This year the water also won a silver medal in the purified category, coming in behind Rain Fresh Oxygen Purified from Garland, Texas.

Emporia, Kan., took gold in the Best Tasting Municipal Water challenge. Independence, MO came second, Greenwood third, with a tie for fourth between Clearbrook, B.C. and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Los Angeles). Following them was Keremeos. So three of the top six municipal waters came from B.C. Greenwood’s water won bronze in 2010 as well.

“We are finishing well so that says a lot about our water quality,” Greenwood Mayor Nipper Kettle said on Monday.

“Three out of the four years we’ve been up there on the podium, and two of the waters that placed below us this year have been previous gold medal winners as well.”

Greenwood Gold was one of eight entries in the People’s Choice for package design.

“We got a pretty good return on our investment in terms of publicity and getting Greenwood on the world stage,” said Kettle. “It has generated a lot of talk about Greenwood.”

“It is great to see Greenwood there at the top – I expect that will be a recurring occasion through the years,” said Jill Klein Rone, staff producer for the event.

This was the 23rd annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting – the oldest and largest water tasting competition in the world.

Watermaster Arthur von Wiesenberger, noted expert and author from Santa Barbara, Calif., directed the challenge of evaluating a product where tastelessness is the most sought after quality.

The judges spent hours tasting and selecting from

among waters sourced in 21 states and 10 foreign countries. This year, there were 32 municipal waters entered from a dozen states, Canada, South Korea and Thailand.

The judges included representatives from various regional and national media including television and online magazines.

They were instructed by von Wiesenberger to look, sniff and taste each water under guidelines similar to those in a wine tasting.

The waters were rated for each attribute including appearance (it should be clear, or slightly opaque for glacial waters), aroma (there should be none), taste (it should

Judges sample various bottles of water at the 2013 Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Festival. Greenwood’s municipal tap water once again took home an award, winning bronze in the Best Tasting Municipal Water category.

The Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting is staged the final weekend in February each year in the popular historic West Virginia resort town named for the mineral waters that George Washington first visited in 1748.

Today, the area around the springs is Berkeley Springs State Park in the heart of town. Waters are openly displayed in pools and people coming to take the waters home with them keep a public pump busy.

100 years

Rotary International celebrates its 100th year in B.C. in April and the Grand Forks Rotary Club got in the celebratory mood early, holding an event at Gyro Park in Grand Forks Saturday. There was free cake and hot chocolate and club members sold kettle corn and provided information to passersby of the club’s many local and international projects.

Local rotary club helps volunteer and school children in Cambodia Andrea Vowell, a retired school teacher from Grand Forks, accepted an GRAND FORKS assignment ROTARY CLUB with Cuso International last year to be an effective teaching and learning advisor at six schools in rural Cambodia.

She found one school in particular was in desperate need of help.

Every year the road and school ground flood.

The buildings were on stilts and water filled up under the buildings. “One of the buildings should be condemned,” Vowell said, because the wooden structure was falling apart.

Books, pencils and belongings fell through the holes in the floor and were ruined or lost.

Last year one of the students fell through the floor into the flood waters below.

One of the priorities of the school director was to get fill to make a reasonable school ground

and a kiosk where the children could stay out of the hot sun, read, study, play games or eat their lunch.

A private individual donor from Sweden provided the fill and Vowell was able to organize and arrange for the building of a kiosk with the support and funding of the Grand Forks Rotary Club. “They are so very excited that finally something so positive is happening at the school,” Vowell said.

COMMUNITY

The book of Bea

Gallery 2 hosted its first “Living Book” and 90-year-old Bea Zucco of Grand Forks shared her life story. More than 20 people came out to support Zucco as well as attend gallery 2’s first third-Thursday open house of its monthly series. The gallery staff served coffee, tea and treats. Ted Fogg presented Zucco with flowers at the end of the night. Les Johnson, president of the Boundary Historical Society, recorded Zucco, who had written her life story in the Boundary Historical Society’s 13th report from 1995. For those who missed her story, that book is available in the gift shop. The next third Thursday will be March 21 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Schools in School District 51 take a stand against bullying today

P

ink will be a popular colour today (Wednesday) as it is annual Pink Shirt Day, which seeks to show that bullying is not tolerated in Grand Forks, Christina Lake, Midway, Greenwood or anywhere for that matter.

Educating youth about the damage that bullying can do is important because if the anti-bullying message is given at a young age, students will grow with that message engrained in their consciousness.

Locally, schools are doing their part to preach the virtues of anti-bullying.

Generally, there have been reports of numerous occurrences of older students bullying younger throughout the years and across the continent.

According to Midway Elementary and Greenwood Elementary Principal Darryl Turner, elementary students in Midway will be traveling to Boundary Central Secondary School to take part in a flash mob with the high schoolers.

At Greenwood Elementary, child and youth counselors from the school and Freedom Quest (regional youth services) are working together and organizing anti-bullying awareness activities for students – all students in each school will receive a pink shirt.

“In small schools any bullying stands out a little more when it happens. We, the staff at each school, often talk about what bullying looks like throughout the year with students when it surfaces,” Turner explains. “We make sure students understand our schools’ expectations involving inclusion of all, cyber-bulling, traditional bullying, etc. We educate students with programs like ‘Roots of Empathy’ and ‘Friends’ to help students become aware of others feelings. We partner with Boundary Family Integrated Services to help develop social skills within small groups with identified students. This helps students to not be targets and to fit better socially.”

At Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS), students designed Pink Shirt Day T-shirts through a logo competition says Principal Scott Stewart, who adds that the shirts with the winning logo have been made and similar to other schools, GFSS will have a related assembly.

“Personally, bullying is still an issue we deal with fairly regularly either through interactions in school but more increasingly through online social media,” explains Stewart. “Often times it is difficult to pinpoint the origin of bullying as many times we end up with ‘he said, she said’ stories. Online media has in some cases made it easier to track down the behaviours but because of the impersonal nature of online communications, it is easier to say inappropriate things to people online without getting that emotional reaction that often prevents those interactions in real life.”

He adds that students at GFSS are generally accepting and the overall incidents at the school are not high compared to other jurisdictions.

“The key issue for us is overcoming the tendency of kids and parents to not want to tell when things are happening with

the fear of making it worse and that is the challenge for us to educate our students about how to access support when bullying occurs,” Stewart goes on to say.

Students at Hutton Elementary School in Grand Forks will also be taking part in Pink Shirt Day activities.

“All staff are wearing Grand Forks Secondary School silk screened pink shirts, as are many of our Grade 7s. The parent advisory council is going to award a ‘classroom treat’ to the class that wears the most pink shirts in celebration of antibullying,” says Doug Lacey, Hutton principal.

On top of that, Hutton will have an anti-bullying themed morning assembly and the Grade 7s will perform related skits throughout the day to all the classes, which Lacey says is like a travelling road show. The seventh graders have also prepared a class newspaper on bullying and Pink Shirt Day that will be distributed to each classroom.

“It is crucial to recognize that every classroom (at Hutton) and every teacher works with students every day on social responsibility,” Lacey explains. “The culture of inclusiveness, caring and concern for others has been developed over years of using programs like the Virtues program, Respectful Relations, Friends program and various teacher-directed lessons to meet the outcomes of the health and career curriculum and the expectations of the Social Responsibility Performance Standards.”

At Perley Elementary in Grand Forks, there will be an antibullying and acceptance assembly as well, which will be preceded by the school’s third annual Perley Pink Parade, where students and staff will parade through the school clad in pink.

“In terms of dealing with bullying, we work on building our students social responsibility on a daily basis,” says Perley Principal Kevin Argue. “Every class works on this all year long and I speak to incidents and positive choices at almost every school assembly.”

Pink will also be a notable colour at Christina Lake Elementary School today as Principal Bob Chapman says students will be encouraged to wear pink and teachers will talk about the day’s significance and stresses the importance of educating students on the topic.

“We do not tolerate bullying obviously and we teach kids what bullying is and what isn’t bullying,” Chapman says. “Too often behaviour is labelled as bullying but it really isn’t, so we work hard to make sure kids know what bullying is, ways to deal with bullies and bullying and we do our very best to make sure that bullying is dealt with properly as we do not want it in the school. Complicating things is the amount of contact kids have outside of school through social media and that certainly can complicate relationships for students at school.”

ANTI BULLYING WEEK

o you know if your child is being bullied?

Here are some signs to watch for: feelings of rejection, low self-esteem, poor grades at school, isolation, withdrawal from group activities at school and outside of school, aggressiveness, nervousness, extreme sensitivity, fear or refusal to go to school.

What is bullying?

Psychologists define bullying as a power relationships carried on by one individual or a group of individuals towards another person. Bullying does not necessarily need to be brutal or physical violence: rumours, threats and hurtful words also lead to feelings of rejection.

Rumours, gossip, threats, insults, cruelty, violence

It takes courage and compassion to take a stand against bullying.

These are all things that young people shouldn’t have to deal with, but do. We use the term ‘bullying’ to describe this kind of behaviour. Other people might call it ‘harrassment,’ ‘abuse,’ ‘meanness’ or ‘drama’.

What does bullying look like?

Teasing, hair pulling, pushing, pinching or touching without consent, insulting somebody by making crude, sexist, racist or homophobic remarks, spreading rumours, threatening looks, unsightly gestures, writing unpleasant things about somebody (on paper or by email), threatening or scaring somebody, stealing, “taxing” (extortion of money and personal items).

Targets for bullying:

What should children do?

Do not answer back with verbal violence. Ignore the insults by walking with your head up high. If you witness bullying towards another student, it is best to immediately refer what you have seen to an adult.

What should parents do?

Discuss the problem with your child and try to obtain the name of the bully. Discuss the problem with the teacher and the principal of the school. Advise the child, but try not to do everything in his or her place. Guide the child towards out-of-school activities. Do not encourage verbal of physical violence as a suitable means of defense. Do not trivialize the problem. Take it seriously!

A pair of curling rinks from Grand Forks are aiming to capture their respective provincial titles.

Vern Best and his Over 60 rink and Norm Arnott and his Over 70 rink will be representing Zone 1 (Kootenays) at the provincial finals in Nanaimo, B.C. from March 5 to 8.

It won’t be easy, according to Best, whose rink defeated a rink from Trail to make the provincials in the zone playdowns.

“We don’t normally play against these guys and there are some very good teams and usually in seniors, the curling is better than what people think it is,” explained Best. “There’s going to be strong competition, you’re going to have to curl to win.”

He said if his rink curls, it will have a good shot at winning the provincials.

“We have the players here to curl in Grand Forks, we have good shooters and there’s no reason why we can’t,” said Best.

For Arnott’s rink, it played off in Grand Forks beating another local team and then a Castlegar rink to earn its ticket to Nanaimo.

“Gordie Shimzu is our third, Lawrence Valentine’s our second and Eddie Watamaniuk is our lead and they all throw pretty good rocks,” explained Arnott, who didn’t want to forecast how his rink would do in Nanaimo.

“It’s pretty hard to say. You don’t know what

Quote of the Week:

the other teams are going to be like but I think our chances are as good as anyone else,” he said.

For Doug Large, president of the Grand Forks Curling Club retirees, a good contingent is representing the area.

“I feel they can win it all. I think they’re as good as anybody else and they’re really good curlers that have been at it for years,” Large said.

“I think we have a good chance.”

Norm Arnott and his Over 70 curling rink from Grand Forks will be going for a provincial title in Nanaimo from March 5 to 8.

An important asset: a financial advisor:

We make it simple to save for the future while having something to spend today.

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

A good financial advisor and planner will be able to help you better understand your financial situation allowing you to make the right decisions. When and how should you invest your money?

How do you avoid paying too much tax? How much should you invest in your RRSP for your retirement? At what age can you stop working? What will your retirement income be? So many questions to which a financial planner will be able to give you clear and realistic answers and, at the same time, be able to suggest strategies which will enable you to attain your objectives.

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

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

Swimming has many benefits Teaching your child to swim and encouraging him or her to swim regularly can have significant benefits for both their health and safety.

Especially on a hot day, swimming is a way to keep cool while encouraging a healthy level of physical and social activity.

Take your kids to indoor pools in the colder months to promote an active lifestyle all year long.

Swimming provides a more effective workout than some other activities.

According to KidsHealth.org, drowning is the second leading cause of death for people between the ages of five and 24.

By teaching your children to swim, they will not only become a stronger swimmer, but also gain valuable experience in the water.

This experience greatly reduces the risk of an emergency if your child accidentally falls in an unguarded pool or gets pulled into deep water by a rip current at the beach.

Swimming is an excellent cardiovascular workout that promotes heart and lung health, improves strength and flexibility, increases stamina and even improves balance and posture.

In addition, swimming is a way to prevent childhood obesity, which has been linked to juvenile diabetes.

Swimming is less stressful on the body and offers an alternative workout for those who find it difficult to move.

Swim lessons for all ages are held at the Grand Forks Aquatic Centre throughout the year.

The Pollywogs swim program offers advanced training for children ages five to eight to improve on endurance and stroke correction in a fun active format.

Registration opens on March 1 and space is limited, so make sure to mark it on your LILLY calendar. This is a very popular program and BRYANT fills very quickly.

This program will be offered on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 4:15 to 5 p.m. from April 2 to 25. Spring Break Red Cross swim lesson camp will be held the week of March 18 to 22.

Children ages six and over can earn their next level badge in just one week. Deadline to register for spring break lessons is Monday, March 11.

Spring preschool swim lessons will be held on Saturday mornings starting April 6, between 10 and 11:30 a.m. *** We are now taking registration for this and all our spring programs. Adults can overcome their fear of the water by enrolling in our adult learn to swim program.

The instructor will help you work on ways to feel comfortable in the water and help you start enjoying the sport of swimming.

Classes will be held on Thursday evenings from 7 to 8 p.m., starting April 4 to 25.

For details on spring programs, you can view the March brochure at www.rdkb.com or give the recreation office a call at 250-442-2202.

Phoenix Ski Hill looks to finish strong JIM HOLTZ

For the Grand Forks Gazette

People living in the valley may be thinking about spring, but not on Phoenix Ski Hill.

There the ski season is still going strong.

Ski hill manager Chris Nason says, “Phoenix started the year off with a record level of snow and things have been great from Day One! The Phoenix Mountain Alpine Ski Society hopes that people come out in March to enjoy fantastic spring skiing conditions, and to watch our fantastic upcoming events.”

Those events include the March 2,

Phoenix Open, racing for skiers and boarders of all ages and abilities.

Registration for the event is from 9 to 10:30 a.m. on race day. There is a $5 divisional entry fee, parents must sign a waiver for anyone under 18, and helmets are mandatory. All entrants are automatically entered in a prize draw as well.

March 17 is the date for the sixth annual Phoenix Mountain Park Jam, a freestyle skiing/boarding event, which Phoenix advertises as “featuring rail jamming and slope style madness.”

Registration fee for each event is $20; register between 9 and 10 a.m.

The action starts with the park jam

466 Dawson Ave., Penticton

(rails) at 10 a.m.; Big Air (jumps) competition starts at 1 p.m. The hill says there will be “swag, prizes and cash” for the competitors.

Finally, the year-end wrap up on March 31, the Phoenix Mountain Annual Spring Fling, will feature the ever popular Dummy Downhill Race as well as an outdoor barbecue and 50/50 draw.

Entry is $10 per dummy which Phoenix says will entitle the participants to “fabulous prizes for best dummy, best crash, best air and more!” No snowmobiles please. This year’s Spring Fling theme is the ‘70s so visitors (and dummies) are encouraged to dress and speak accordingly!

Local Atom teams play in playoffs in Midway and Grand Forks

KARL YU

Gazette Editor

Playoffs for local Atom hockey took place this past weekend in Grand Forks and Midway with players from two teams from the area taking part.

The Grand Forks Atom 2 Bruins opened play against Nelson at home on Friday, losing 7-2. They played an exiting game on Saturday morning, skating to a 4-4 tie against Boundary in Grand Forks before beating the Greater Trail 3 team 6-3 in Midway.

In terms of the 6-3 win, it was a must-win, head coach Craig MacLellan explained.

“It was a game we had to win. We were in a situation where a tie wouldn’t have done us any good, so we needed to win,” he said.

The team lost 11-8 to Boundary in Midway in the semifinals on Sunday.

“I thought the team played amazing,” MacLellan of his team’s play throughout the playoffs. “It was just a total team effort, it was awesome. No one player in particular stood out.

It was a gritty team effort.”

The Grand Forks Grizzlies also took part in the playoffs, beginning play with a 6-4 loss to Kaslo in Midway on Friday. They lost a close one to Greater Trail 3 with a final of 5-4 and lost another close one to Nakusp by a final of 10-8 in Grand Forks.

Kevin Sawyer, coach of the Grizzlies, was also pleased with this team’s play.

“We’ve worked towards playing as a team all year long and I think we were outstanding. The players really gelled as a team. We have a game plan, we have system and they stuck to it and I was so proud of them; they worked really hard,” Sawyer said.

And like MacLellan, Sawyer said it was hard to single out players that stood out.

“I really can’t (pick a player). Everybody pitched in in their own way and that’s kind of what makes us so special,” Sawyer explained.

“We play together as such a team that it’s hard to

Jack Sawyer and the Grand Forks Grizzlies took part in the playoffs this past weekend.

pick one person that does stand out.”

While the team played two out of its three away from Grand Forks Arena, Sawyer said it wasn’t a detriment to the team.

“Both Atom teams had to practice at 6:30 a.m. on Monday for half of the season, so that means the kids were up out of bed at 5:15 a.m.

They were on the ice early and they’ve played tired and they’ve kind of learned that. I think it’s toughened them up a bit, so travelling to Midway didn’t hurt in any way at all,” he said.

The Grand Forks Atom 2 Bruins hockey team won the championship at a hockey tournament in Nakusp on Feb. 17.

While things didn’t look promising after losing the tournament opener 5-2 to the Vernon Ice Rockets on Feb. 15, the team rebounded and won the remainder of its games, defeating the home team Nakusp Falcons 8-3 and the Salmon Arm Infernos 6-1 on Feb. 16 and beating the Vernon

Demons 4-3 on Feb. 17.

The team avenged its opening loss, beating the Vernon Ice Rockets 2-1 in the title game.

“The final game was a nail-biter,” explained Craig MacLellan, Bruins head coach. “We scored the first goal of the game in the first, but Vernon replied in the second. Early in the third, we went ahead and played great defensive hockey the rest of the third for a 2-1 win and the first place trophy.”

MacLellan said it was a great result for the team.
