❚ FUNDING

City scraps grant-in-aid system

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

There was long debate amongst councillors during the Committee of the Whole meeting on April 2, whether the city should do away with the controversial grant-in-aid policy or come up with a fair system for handing out taxpayers’ money.

“We need to get rid of the concept of grant-inaid, it gives people false hope,” said Coun. Neil Krog. “It is an old fashioned idea and I believe a mistaken one.”

When groups come to the City of Grand Forks requesting funding, they are actually requesting funding from the taxpayers, Krog added.

“When the city gives $10,000 it equates to approximately a one per cent tax increase,” he said.

When it comes to giving out money, Coun.

Bob Kendel says the city should not be “cherry picking” one group over the other.

“If we have a pot (of grant-in-aid money) whether it’s $1,000 or $100,000, as soon as we

agree to that forum of handing out public money, it becomes a who’s first in line, who gets it (scenario),” said Kendel.

“I think that’s a dilemma. I personally don’t like to be put in that situation, where I have to differentiate or support one group or the other.”

Coun. Gary Smith agreed that the grant-in-aid process represents a lottery draw.

“We take taxpayers’ dollars and make basically arbitrary decisions on who to give that money too,” he said. “We need a way better policy.”

Coun. Michael Wirischagin said that some members of the community have voiced concerns about handing out money to specific groups.

“From what I have heard people saying is, do not give event-specific money out to one hockey tournament when there are four other ones of different age groups every single year,” he said, adding that there are numerous other sporting events that happen throughout the year that never receive any grant-in-aid funding.

“If you are going to give money out, give it to umbrella organizations like the Boundary

arts council, bigger umbrella groups and not to event-specific groups, where we have to start picking and choosing,” he said.

Coun. Patrick O’Doherty said it’s hard to tell one group that you don’t have money for them after you have given money to other organizations.

“I feel strongly that if you are going to give to one group and not the other, that you don’t give any at all, because it’s the taxpayers’ money.

Councillors decided to rescind the grant-inaid policy at the April 2 city council regular meeting that evening.

Doug Allin, chief administrative officer with the City of Grant Forks, said that the city staff will look at a few different options in terms of the grant-in-aid, one of which could be a fee-forservice.

Staff are working to bring forth more options for council to look at for the May 6 city council meeting.

Hancheroff chosen as RCMP: Prolific offender local NDP candidate crackdown leads to drop KARL YU

Gazette Editor

The BC NDP has selected a candidate in the Boundary-Similkameen to run in the upcoming provincial election.

Sam Hancheroff was selected over Brian Taylor (mayor of Grand Forks) and Rhonda Bruce at a BC NDP Boundary-Similkameen Constituency Association candidate nomination convention on Saturday in Oliver, B.C. He is said to be a strong advocate for education, health and seniors’ care, agriculture and environmental awareness.

“After more than a decade of Liberal government, our people in Boundary-Similkameen are looking for positive change,” Hancheroff said in a release. “I am running because I want to give our communities a strong voice in a new NDP government.”

Hancheroff, a school trustee in School District 53, taught at Okanagan Falls for over three decades and is also an elected trustee for the Kaleden Irrigation District.

“I was born in Grand Forks and left Grand Forks in 1970,”

Sam Hancheroff

Hancheroff told the Gazette. “I attended Selkirk College for a few years and then I went to the University of Victoria. There I received my education degree and moved to Okanagan Falls and taught there for 33 years as a teacher in the elementary schools, focusing on sciences.”

The BC NDP candidate position became vacant when previous candidate Marji Basso stepped down in January.

Hancheroff joins Linda Larson (BC Liberals) and Mischa Popoff (BC Conservatives) as candidates in the Boundary-Similkameen riding, according to bc2013.com. The provincial election is set for May 14.

z FRAUD

Computer extortion scam reported, watch email KARL YU

Gazette Editor

A computer extortion scam that hit Nelson has reportedly hit some local residents.

Grand Forks RCMP are advising locals to be mindful with email.

The Nelson Police Department recently warned residents of a computer scam that essentially froze the screen of the user through malware (form of computer virus) and demanded a $100 ransom to unlock it – the Nelson police said the malware claims to be from a law enforcement agency, and in the case of Nelson, reference was made to a cyber-crime unit.

Paying the $100 doesn’t unlock computers either, Nelson police said.

Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison said that there haven’t been any specific incidents reported to local police yet but he has heard of the scam.

“Generally a person has to open an attachment, which allows the malware/virus to access and install in the computer. At that point, you are looking at professional help to correct the problem,” Harrison said.

He said antivirus software will likely protect against the malware but also advises people not to open

News tips

any email attachments from people they don’t know.

“They should not click on ‘accept’ when a message comes up while on a website about ‘Windows requesting permission to install a program,’” Harrison said. “As for the $100 charge, the RCMP do not have anything to do with this and ‘Cyber Crime Unit’ does not exist.”

Harrison warned of another virus that is making the rounds as well.

“There is currently a phishingtype virus going around our area and others, that accesses address books in Windows Live mail and Outlook Express,” Harrison said.

“Once it accesses your address book, it sends out emails with the attachment from your email address. When this happens people are misled into believing the email came from a friend or relative they trust – don’t open the attachment.”

While there were increases in certain crimes in Grand Forks and Christina Lake, Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison says some of the crimes have dropped after prolific offenders were targeted by police.

While overall criminal offences in the Boundary area were down 11 per cent from 2011 to 2012, there were increases in certain crimes in Grand Forks and Christina Lake.

In the Boundary Regional RCMP’s 2013 report on policing, Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison said regionally, property crime stabilized with only a decrease of 1.1 per cent, violent crimes against people were down 37.3 per cent and other criminal code offences were down 16.7 per cent.

However, the report said that mischief increased from 20 to 32 incidents between 2011 and 2012 at Christina Lake.

Harrison explained that noisy parties were included in the category and it wasn’t only property damage.

“There was an increased number of complaints about loud parties where people wouldn’t turn the music down and that type of thing,” Harrison told the Grand Forks Gazette, adding that if there was a noise bylaw in effect in the regional district, it would’ve been recorded under that.

“Because of the fact there isn’t a bylaw, we have to score it that way, so it tends to inflate the statistics and people, when they see the mischief, they’re thinking, ‘OK, wilful damage and there’s vandals out there,’ but no, it’s really not,” said Harrison.

The staff sergeant said that there was one particular person at Christina Lake who was constantly holding weekend parties, and neighbours lodged a number of complaints.

“Each one of those are a separate offence and gets scored that way. We never laid charges on him, we simply warned him and eventually, by the end of the summer, we went out and told him, ‘If this happens again, we’re laying a criminal charge,’ and after that, he kind of toned it down. It does kind of tend to inflate the statistics,” Harrison explained.

In the City of Grand Forks, total break-andenters (B&E) increased from 41 to 48 between 2011 and 2012, while theft under $5,000 increased from 47 to 55, B&Es at businesses increased from

11 to 21 and theft from vehicles skyrocketed from 35 to 60 but Harrison said that problem has been largely remedied as the RCMP targeted prolific offenders, including ones that broke into vehicles.

“What happened is right towards the end of the year, we had a whole rash of thefts from vehicles and we eventually caught a couple of people doing it and then it just died down,” Harrison said. “In one night, one person can go out and do six or seven thefts from vehicles, which is what we were seeing, and the numbers shoot up.”

Incidents of mischief in Grand Forks Area D totalled 30 in 2010, dropped to 19 in 2011 and rose to 34 again in 2012.

Harrison said the ways incidents were recorded could account for this.

“I think that might be a change in how scoring was done on the files. Before we were actually scoring it as bylaws when it should’ve been scored as mischief because there is no noise bylaw in Area D. That could’ve been scoring errors and things that should’ve been reportable to Stats Canada that we weren’t scoring,” Harrison explained. “If you look at it, it kind of comes back to where it was in 2010 in Area D.” In terms of mischief in the city, there was a decrease from 128 in 2010 to 106 in 2011 to 91 in 2012, and again, Harrison said it was due to targeting prolific offenders.

“Quite frankly, it was fast investigation,” Harrison said of the drop. “Mischief/wilful damage is a really tough one to investigate because there isn’t a lot of physical evidence left behind but the members did get on it quickly and quickly identified those people who were responsible and that makes a big difference. A lot of times, those offences are inter-related because you get a gang of prolific offenders and they’re not just doing thefts, they’re not just doing B&Es, they’re doing all sorts of stuff, including the assaults and the uttering threats.”

Incidents of uttering threats against a person decreased from 26 to 13 between 2011 and 2012 in the city.

Calls for service at Christina Lake totalled 573 in 2012 – calls in the City of Grand Forks totalled 2,003 and 752 in Area D.

z Our View

City right to revise grant-in-aid policy The City of Grand Forks and its city council decided to rescind its grant-in-aid policy – where it grants money to groups in the community – at a meeting on April 2.

While a number of groups in the city depend on the funding, it is the right thing to do.

It’s not easy being a city councillor or even a member of city staff as every move is scrutinized and councillors likely feel like they can do no right but the fact of the matter is, the City of Grand Forks is a corporation, a business, not a charity and it has to be fiscally responsible.

Yes, it can look out for the best interests of its residents but not at the cost of its bottom line.

Understandably, there are a number of groups in the area, some non-profit, with little other way of finding money but the list is long and the amount of money finite – times are tough but the money that is handed out is taxpayer money.

As some councillors rightly stated, it’s difficult to say “yes” to one groups request while saying “no” to another.

If council approves one group’s request and not the request of a similar group, that really isn’t fair and can lead to some ill will.

Just last year, councillors said that there were over $300,000 in requests for grant-in-aid, which is a large amount of money and obviously, the city had to say no to everyone that had put in a request, as it neither had the financial wherewithal nor would it be right or fair for it to pick and choose.

The city isn’t completely turning its back on providing grants altogether as city staff are currently looking into other options and will bring those to the table at a future council meeting.

Whatever the options are, they should take into account that the city doesn’t have an endless supply of money and it should be fair to all as well.

There are other organizations that help provide funding besides the city and hopefully they will be able to assist groups that are in need.

Question of the Week

from www.grandforksgazette.ca Do you feel that the mail in your mailbox is secure?

YES 49%

On Sunday March 31, my girlfriend (Nicole) and I welcomed our first-born child into the world.

After nine months and eight days, plus 30 hours of labour, we were both overjoyed to finally meet our son, Cohen.

He was born at 11 p.m. weighing 3.36 kg (seven pounds four ounces).

Now more than a week later, I can’t believe how much he has already grown.

He mostly sleeps and eats, like any other baby, but he is becoming more active every single day.

He is already lifting his head and trying to prop himself up on his own two feet.

I took a week off work last week, to be a part of the birth and enjoy the first days of his life. Most of the week was spent in the hospital because he had

z Porteous Profiles

SASCHA PORTEOUS

trouble with fluid in his lungs, so he had to spend a night in the intensive care unit, which is enough stress to give almost any new father and mother a heart attack.

He recovered like a champion. Just when we though we were ready to leave the hospital, he came down with high levels of Jaundice and so he had to go under the lights for another 24 hours.

He was poked and prodded for blood samplings more than half a dozen times, but four days after coming into the world, he was finally sent home

with a clean bill of health.

He is a very calm and relaxed baby, but people have warned me that it can change overnight.

So for the time being I am enjoying the few hours of sleep that I do get at night and I hope that our evenings don’t turn into never ending marathons of diaper changing and feeding.

I keep wondering about his future.

Who knows what will grab his interest and what path he takes in life.

I’m sure to try and impart some of my own interests into his life, but ultimately in the end, it’s up to Cohen to decide where life takes him.

He has already made me the proudest father in the world and that will always continue, even if he doesn’t follow his in his dad’s or mom’s footsteps.

LETTERS z EASTER

Practice but don’t preach Editor: When coming to see my grandson at this year’s annual Easter egg hunt, I was appalled to find that someone took the liberty to assault the unsuspecting crowd with a sermon worthy of a TV preacher.

You know, the kind who likes to hear themselves talk?

Who was so busy trying to convince us of his religious belief that he did not notice all the kids chomping at the bit to get to those eggs they were seeing right in front of them?

From the comments of the people around me I can safely say I was not the only one that was shocked and annoyed.

Just for the record, this approach will not inspire a lot of trust in your church.

z HERITAGE

You’re a real “gem” Editor: One hundred years is a successful run and the GEM Theatre is a grand old lady that straddles past and future.

The GEM opened as a live theatre in 1911, burned down soon after and was rebuilt in 1913. When movies took over from live theatre in many communities, the Gem was no exception and was converted into a cinema. It still functions as that today, of course. It hosts our community’s Spotlight Film each month with fabulous films and documentaries – as well they feature other cinematic offerings.

But Maureen and Marius Paquet were not content to just go with the flow and when live theatre and concerts needed a home earlier this year, the Paquets stepped up to the plate.

A stage built by many community hands was added to accommodate live performances and already Grand Forks has been treated to two wonderful and different forms of entertainment.

Deck was the first hilarious offering and certainly showed Grand Forks that live theatre needs a place in this area – with its great acoustics and heritage décor, the GEM is that place.

Stephen Fearing was initially considered for a house concert booking but organizers soon realized that their homes would not comfortably accommodate everyone – they were glad when Maureen and Marius offered the GEM. Stephen Fearing was pleased and honoured to be the first musician to play in concert at the theatre.

Attendees could clearly hear every word and enjoyed Fearing’s professional guitar instrumentation, as well as delight in his casual banter. It made the concert a truly personal experience – something that could only be effective in the intimacy of the GEM. With the GEM Theatre adding another use, we can once again enjoy all forms of great entertainment. We need to recognize and thank Maureen and Marius for their community caring and for their adventurous, artistic spirits. They are our true gems.

z AIR QUALITY

The truth is finally out Editor: Re: Roxul trying to clear the air (story, March 27 issue) Last year’s assertions (at least two attributable quotes

z OPINION in your pages), that industry is not the problem when it comes to poor air quality in the valley, have been firmly contradicted by reports that both Pacific Abrasives (last year) and now Roxul Inc. again, are indeed part of it.

It is very refreshing to find companies admitting that they are contributory to the problem and that they are acting conscientiously. My hat is doffed to Roxul, in particular, for recognizing that the persistence of poor air is partly their responsibility and for budgeting a not inconsiderable further expense to mitigate it.

It must be galling to find the expensive tall stack doesn’t cut it and that remediation is necessary. I really appreciate their honesty and hope the RTO works well.

It is clear to everyone that the very natures of local industries are, by definition, polluting. Slag into insulation by a heating process, slag into industrial abrasives and logs into lumber, all bear the hallmarks of pollution. So too do the industries of nurseries and farming, as do wood stoves and trash burning. In some way or another we are all in this together and recognizing both the problem and better efforts to remedy it will help this community to further mature.

It must be said however, that knowledge of phenols and formaldehyde in the exhaust – regardless of how miniscule the quantities – is very disturbing and it behoves the responsible ministries to adjust the permits; we can’t make headway for as long as pollution as a component of production is allowed.

Increasingly urgently, it behoves all of us concerned with economic re-development to ensure that industrial degradations have no footing in this place in the future.

Kudos to Sascha Porteous on a succinct, informative article; it bodes well for this paper and for him.

Another tale about Darkwoods

Auditor General John Doyle’s audit of Pacific Carbon Trust (PCT) and its role in the Carbon Neutral B.C. program has been severely criticized by government officials, members ROY RONAGHAN of the cabinet, and heads of industry since he submitted it to the speaker of the BC Legislature, Bill Barisoff on March 27, but it has not yet been officially released.

Doyle is reported to have called PCT “bunk” because of the questionable offsets it has purchased with money paid by municipalities and public institutions to purchase carbon offsets.

Doyle selected two examples to back his claim. Neither met the “additionality” requirement for being above and beyond or additional to business-as-usual practices.

Encana, a gas company operating in northeastern B.C., got funds for a project that was already underway, using flare gas in drilling operations rather than burning it. Nature Conservancy Canada (NCC) got funding for its Darkwoods project in the West Kootenay region. Between them, Encana and NCC got $6 million.

From a regional point of view, Darkwoods is of interest because some of the money paid to PCT – by municipalities, school districts and hospitals within the Kootenay-Boundary region – was used to purchase offsets through the Carbon Neutral Kootenays program, a collaborative venture.

Some of the Darkwoods’ story was presented in a column on Jan. 27.

It began in the 1960s when 55,000 hectares of forested area on the west side of Kootenay Lake was purchased by Duke Carl Herzog von Wurttemberg of Germany, who wanted land on which to conduct hunting expeditions similar to those in Germany. He also established a logging company called Darkwoods Pluto and logging has been carried out for decades. Logging on a much smaller scale is still going on.

Bruce Kirkby, a columnist for the Globe and Mail and photographer, made 10 visits to Darkwoods for Canadian Geographic magazine, and wrote about them in 2008.

Darkwoods is larger than Waterton Lakes Park with 15 watersheds, more than 50 alpine lakes, a stand of Western red cedar more than 500 years old, and 460 kilometres of roads.

A small population of grizzly bears, cougars, wolves, elk and a small herd of rare woodland caribou co-habit in the numerous valleys. Twenty-nine species at risk, including bull trout, redtailed chipmunk and western screech owl can also be found in the area.

Darkwoods has suffered for decades from the damage done by logging. Dave Quinn, a friend of Kirkby who focuses on conservation issues, called it “complete plunder.”

Fortunately, Darkwoods Pluto engaged in silviculture long before it was adopted by the Ministry of Forests and the clear cuts were reseeded.

Riparian areas were also respected and a healthy bull trout population can be found in Cultus Creek.

Kirkby states that, “Cutblocks and skid roads stand out everywhere.” He also says, “The truth is elusive, but one thing is certain, it sure doesn’t look like a national park.”

NCC says it is not intended to look like a park and it was purchased because it has high potential as a conservation area.

Now that more is known about the condition of Darkwoods, why was NCC chosen as the recipient of money from PCT to purchase carbon offsets?

Perhaps the answer to the question can be found in a comment from Pat Field, NCC’s project manager at the time of Kirkby’s visits. “ ... Darkwoods is a big deal, giving conservationists the opportunity to address issues of global importance like climate change. Flora and fauna can move up or down its elevation profile as conditions change, and there’s enough space and foliage to support migratory animals such as caribou and wide ranging carnivores like wolverines.

And Darkwoods is surrounded by a series of provincial parks and wildlife management areas that, combined, cover more than 100,000 hectares of contiguous protected land.”

NEWS z CITY COUNCIL

Funding, online education discussed at meetings

Gazette Staff

April 2 Committee of the Whole (COTW) The Boundary District Arts Council (BDAC) asked the city for annual funding of $4,500 at the COTW meeting on April 2.

BDAC president Michele Garrison made the request that the funding be a line item in the yearly city budget.

The BDAC depends on this yearly funding from Grand Forks to fulfill its matching requirement by BC Arts Council for its yearly funding, said Garrison. “Matching funds from the BC Arts Council and Grand Forks are necessary for the continued existence of the BDAC.” The BDAC stated that if it were not to get the funding approval from the City of Grand Forks, it believes it would lead to the loss of the BC Arts Council Funding.

Council received the presentation and voted to refer the issue for further discussion.

Council also discussed the grant-in-aid process at the COTW meeting. See page 1 for more.

CFEGG asks city to protect Overton Creek Resident Roy Ronaghan made a presentation to council on behalf of the Committee for the Enhancement of the Gilpin Grasslands (CFEGG) asking council to protect Overton Creek for the future domestic water source for the city.

“We request that the City of Grand Forks ensure that it’s licence to use water from the Overton Creek is maintained . . . and that necessary remedial actions are taken within the watershed as soon as possible to ensure that the creek is protected from the cows in the area during the spring of each year and the motorized vehicles that enter the area,” said Ronaghan.

At the regular meeting in the evening, Coun. Cher Wyers requested that the Grand Forks Environment Committee address the issue.

According to the report, there is no movement of the slag pile. More on this in a future issue of the Gazette.

City and RDKB partner in recycling program The City of Grand Forks has begun a new service contract with the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) for the Small Business and Residential Recycling and Household Organic Diversion Program.

The program saw an increase of $1 per month per residential household. The contract between the city and the regional district was passed at the regular meeting on April 2.

RCMP reports on policing Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison of the Grand Forks RCMP made a presentation regarding the annual regional policing report. See page 3 for more.

tritious food for everyone in the region, that all residents have the information and skills to achieve nutritional well-being and that there be local and regional food production systems. See page 8.

City staff agreed to look at the proposed charter and to come back to council with further information at city council’s May 6 meeting.

Furthering education Coun. Michael Wirischagin proposed a motion that city council allow him to enrol in an online course through Halifax-based Dalhousie University on sustainable communities at a cost of about $800 – he just finished courses on municipal law and citizen engagement. Wyers seconded.

The course begins on April 15 and Wirischagin said he would’ve made the motion at a previous meeting but was absent.

Coun. Neil Krog said he would’ve liked to see the course outline and Coun. Gary Smith wondered what Wirischagin would get out of it.

Wirischagin replied that he wanted to gain more knowledge. The motion passed with Mayor Brian Taylor and Coun. Bob Kendel voting against.

Back to second reading for 2013-2017 financial plan Council rescinded third reading of Bylaw 1948, the City of Grand Forks 2013-2017 financial plan bylaw.

In 2012, council made two resolutions that carried over to the 2013 financial plan – one being the backup server project and the other being a carry over of the outstanding balance of funds for the branding project, which was unintentionally omitted from the presentation of the first three readings.

As a result, city staff thought it wise to make adjustments to the financial statement, rather than making an amendment after the fact.

Coun. Patrick O’Doherty proposed, Smith seconded and a majority of councillors voted in favour with Wirischagin being the lone person voting against.

Regional agricultural society urges Grand Forks to support food charter

KARL YU

Gazette Editor

With some worried about genetically modified food, the Grand Forks and Boundary Regional Agricultural Society (GFBRAS) is looking to protect the quality of the food.

To that end, GFBRAS has proposed a food charter and was looking for Grand Forks city council to consider adopting it at the April 2 regular meeting.

GFBRAS was looking for the city to support its commitment to food security and a number of values in the charter, including: The ability of everyone in the region to have access to safe and nutritious food regardless of economic status, or other factors beyond their control.

All residents having access to information and skills to get the proper nutrition.

A local and regional food production system that would supply nutritious food to the residents of the region, sustainably.

The society said that committing to food security strengthens the local food sectors growth and development, and that in turn would strengthen the local economy.

To promote food security, GFBRAS

explained, adding that the Area D director is still undergoing therapy, although in Grand Forks.

“We’ve also been working with Anne Marie Jourdin (discharge planner and case manager) at Boundary Hospital as well,” she said.

would encourage council to work with local residents, agencies and businesses and other levels of government to achieve the following goals: Championing the right of all residents to safe and nutritious food by developing policies that support secure, dignified and ongoing access to an abundance of food produced locally.

Championing the importance of local seed and food production to federal, provincial and regional government partners.

Supporting agriculture through initiatives that highlight the importance of local farmers by working towards an economy that values food producers and the land they manage.

Advocacy for the protection of local producers from genetically engineered crops, which GFBRAS says would threaten purity of genetic seeds and the economic value of the local organic industry while exposing farmers to legal challenges.

Recognize the value of water and advocate for responsible use.

Adopt policies that promote and help residents produce their own properties or elsewhere.

Encourage use of the local community garden to increase food self reliance, improve health, contribute to a cleaner

Foster a civic culture that inspires locals and city departments to support local food producers and food programs by adopting food purchasing practices for city-sponsored events that serve as a model of health, social and environmental responsibility.

Support and encourage the continued separation of organic materials form the waste system.

“We (GFBRAS) are feeling pleased and encouraged that the City of Grand Forks will continue to work with us on the issues outlined in the charter,” said Sheila Dobie, GFBRAS vice-president.

“Especially that they’re interested in looking at implementation models of what this could look like in the future for the city and we’re looking forward to working with them on those ideas.”

She said that the society thought that it would be a good way to encourage the city to make a value statement around agriculture and food issues.

“It’s a great way for us to initiate a working relationship with them,” Dobie said.

City seeks grants for multi-utility

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

The City of Grand Forks is reviewing its five-year financial plan and one of the large elements on the table is the multiutility projects – a multi-million dollar proposed overhaul of the roads, water and sewer infrastructure on 68th Avenue, 22nd Street and Third Street.

Residents have already approved the $4.2 million loan authorization for the capital renewal of roads, water and sewer infrastructure via a referendum question in the 2011 municipal election.

The city has decided to hold off on borrowing money for the multi-utility projects until they get some grant funding from the government, said Sasha Bird, manager of technical services and utilities with the City of Grand Forks.

“Council is saying, ‘Let’s wait for a grant,’ because if we get say 50 cents on the dollar, then we only need to borrow half, which gives us room to take on another project,” said Bird.

“We are prepared to go ahead with our multi-utility projects if the feds give us some grant funding in the budget,” said Roxanne Shepherd, the city’s chief financial officer, in an email to the Gazette.

The Conservative government announced that it would be granting more money to municipalities through the federal gas tax fund in the annual federal budget on March 21. The renewed Build-

ing Canada Fund will pump $210 million into municipalities in 2014-15.

Shepherd said the Building Canada Fund is a grant program administered through the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) and the grants will be open for competition to all municipalities with eligible projects.

“The grants will require some matching funding from municipalities and we have that in place with approved borrowing as per the referendum approval process by the electorates,” said Shepherd.

“We have ‘shovel ready’ projects and we are hoping that Third Street will be one of the roads to get an infrastructure overhaul if the multi-utility project goes will be in our favour.” ahead.

April is Dental Health Month Help keep your child’s teeth Healthy: • Brush your child’s teeth 2x per day every day, with a fluoride toothpaste. Young children do not have the coordination to brush their own teeth until they can write (not print) their own name (age 8-10). Parents need to finish the job for them.

• Children aged 1-6 yrs. should have no more than ½ a cup of fruit juice each day. Water is the best thirst quencher and a growing body needs water.

• Avoid letting your child drink for a sippy cup constantly throughout the day (unless the cup contains water). Sippy cups allow the teeth to be frequently exposed to juice which contains sugar (even watered down or 100% natural juice contains sugars which can cause cavities).

• Lift your child’s top lip once a month to look at the teeth and check for the early signs of cavities (whitish or brown lines along the gum-line).

• Seek dental advice by age 1, visit the dentist no later than age 2 or 3.

Library goes green z Check It Out AVI SILBERSTEIN

Spring is in the air.

We’ve got rising rivers, blossoming buttercups and plenty of sunshine.

Most of all, there’s a lot less white and a lot more green, which is my roundabout way of getting to what I really want to talk about today, which is “green.”

These days, of course, green is synonymous with “environmentally responsible.”

I’m of the opinion that all individuals, organizations, businesses and governments should be doing their part to be as green as possible. Public libraries are no exception.

If you stop and think about it, libraries are inherently green.

Rather than everyone in town buying the new Michael Connelly book, we keep a copy of it here for everyone to share.

Same goes for the latest issue of Maclean’s, season 3 of Downton Abbey, and so on.

But we are going above and beyond that.

Over the course of the last few months, we have been implementing some changes here at the library. For one, we are buying 100 per

cent recycled paper and envelopes (post-consumer recycled, when possible).

In fact, we are currently trying out a brand-new kind of paper (Step Forward Paper), which is made of leftover wheat straw from the prairies.

We have also begun composting all of our food waste and are making an effort to reduce the amount of garbage bags – an easy first step towards achieving this was simply removing half of the garbage cans from the library, and now we are using pre-used plastic bags for the remaining bins.

We are also trying to buy locally as much as possible – not only does it support the local economy, but it also cuts down on emissions generated during shipping.

Our new children’s shelving, for instance, is made in the Boundary by Kettle River Woodcraft, and it is made of reclaimed barnboard.

Second-hand products are naturally a greener choice, which leads me to a request.

We are interested in upgrading the furniture in our main reading area, and would like to know if any of you have tables/chairs/ couches/etc that are in excellent condition and that you are interested in selling. If so, please give me a call at 250-442-3944.

Happy Greening!

Pharmacist raises money for leukemia society z Local Submission

BARBARA FALK

For the past three months, Graeme Carlson, owner/pharmacist of Pharmasave Grand Forks, has been raising funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through the Team in Training program.

The Team in Training program trains individuals to complete endurance events such as marathons, half marathons, triathlons or cycle events.

As a result of joining Team in Training, as well as the significant funds he raised, Carlson qualified for the opportunity to participate in the Lavaman Waikoloa Triathlon in Hawaii on March 24. The triathlon consisted of a 1.5K swim; 40K bike and 10K run. In true “Carlson form,” he completed the triathlon with very respectable placements.

He came in 303 out of 1,200 overall and 16 out of 49 in his age category. When it comes to the “Live Well with Pharmasave” slogan, it is without a doubt Carlson walks the walk and talks the talk.

Graeme Carlson

The funds raised by the Team in Training program for this event are very impressive: Carlson raised over $6,500; a total of 21 athletes from the BC/Yukon Region raised $140,000 and over 400 athletes throughout North America raised over $2.4 million.

For Carlson, completing the triathlon is only a small part of the experience. “By far, the most rewarding aspect was being part of a team of individuals, from all walks of life, who are committed to raising funds to help beat blood cancers.”

Carlson is grateful to family and friends who have already contributed funds. There is still time to donate.

Carlson looks forward to the next fundraising effort.

BLACK PRESS Submitted

Voting is now open for the second annual Kootenay Music Awards (KMA).

Five music industry judges sifted through hundreds of nominated songs to come up with this year’s shortlist. Now it’s up to the public to choose the winners.

KMA president Chad Hansen was thrilled to see the musical diversity in the Artist of the Year category.

“We’ve got an opera, two big folk-stomp bands, an electronic producer and a singer-songwriter going head-to-head,” he said. “It just goes to show the range of talent we have in the region.

Whatever type of music you like, you can find somebody here doing it really well.”

Shortlisted artists come from all corners of the Kootenays. The Good Ol’ Goats from Cranbrook show up in the “Best Roots and Blues” and “Artist of the Year” categories, Golden’s WakCutt is on the list for “Best DJ” and the Slocan Valley’s Immune 2 Cobras is hoping for “Best New Artist” and “Best Punk/Rock/Metal.”

There’s a huge representation from Nelson artists. KHAOS, the opera written by Don Macdonald, is nominated in three categories.

Tofu Stravinsky and James Lamb are both up for “Album of the Year” and Selkirk music student Dylan McPherson is going for “Best New Artist.”

To listen to tracks from all the contenders and place your vote, go to kootenaymusicawards. com and click “Nominate” on the page banner, then “Vote now.”

There’s a play button under each artist’s picture that you can click to listen to their music.

When you’ve picked your favourite, register for an account and start voting.

The voting period closes on April 30 and the winners will be announced at an award show at Spiritbar in Nelson on May 10.

Desiree Mark hoping for second chance on VJ Search

KARL YU

Gazette Editor

Desiree Mark was voted off MuchMusic VJ (video jockey) Search 2013 recently but the Grand Forks native still has an opportunity to realize her dream of working for the music channel.

Mark said she’s known since March 30 that she was out of the reality show and while MuchMusic is being coy about the details, she could make a return.

“I’m not sure how far they’re going until it happens, but they’re actually bringing a contestant back, someone that’s been kicked off,” Mark explained. “They’re still releasing details even to us. I don’t know a whole lot about it yet but they announced it on air, the day before I got kicked off, that one of the contestants that has been eliminated will be brought back.”

Mark says she has been overwhelmed by the response ever since she was the fourth perspective VJ voted off.

“I’m having the most amazing response from Twitter followers, from complete strangers and I know that are already trying to bring me back, so that’s really good to hear,” she said.

Based on her resume, Mark seems to have the experience worthy of being a VJ – she has been into music media since age 13, when she started her own music media website (www.remembermedia.ca) and has experience doing interviews and concert photography but it was a comedy challenge that led to her exit from the show.

“The challenge that took me out was an improv challenge – a full-on comedy improv at a comedy theatre in Calgary, Alta.,” Mark said. “Some of those people that were on the challenge could go into comedy but this is a VJ search, not the Last Comic Standing. I consider myself a funny person but if you ask me to tell a joke, I will bomb it every time.”

However, it was a team challenge and while Mark was

While Desiree Mark was voted out of the MuchMusic VJ Search reality show, she will have an opportunity to re-enter the show.

told that there were other contestants more worthy of being voted out, they had strong teams that helped carry them through.

Continuing to watch the show after her departure, Mark is confident she could have excelled in some of the later challenges and wishes the order played out a bit differently.

“I got a ton of positive feedback from producers,” said Mark. “The one head camera guy, who basically didn’t say a word to anybody, he came at the end, gave me a hug and was like, ‘Look, you’re really good at what you do. I really suggest following through with all of this because

Mark said people can go to her VJ search profile page (www.muchmusic.com/vjsearch/top20/desireemark/336863/), which has been reset and can vote on whether she was rightfully or wrongfully eliminated.

“The Facebook ‘Likes’ actually got reset so everyone that’s already done that can go back and do that again,” she said.

Again, information on how to vote Mark back into the show is sketchy but after people vote on her elimination, a message reminding people to “come back on April 19 to vote Desiree Mark back into the show” appears.

Grand Forks Rural Fire Protection District The Annual General Meeting of the Grand Forks Rural Fire Protection District will be held on

Tuesday, April 30th at 7:00 p.m.

Carson Fire Hall on Reservoir Rd. (behind Rilkoff’s store) Two trustees are to be elected. Nominations in writing must be received at Kemp Harvey Burch Kientz, 619 Central Ave. Prior to April 20. The Rural Fire Board is considering transferring the administration of the Rural Fire District to the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary.

Some Recent History of the Rural Fire District • In 1978 three rural fire halls were built and equipped with new fire trucks.

• In 1986 a fourth hall was built up the North Fork.

• Until 2006 the Rural Fire District had its own volunteer department with a volunteer (modestly paid) chief. It operated separately from the City Fire Department.

• In 2006 the Board of trustees entered into a contract with the City of Grand Forks to provide fire service to rural area. (Area D) Since the 2006 City – Rural Contract • Volunteer Firefighters from both departments were amalgamated into one. Fire trucks were deployed to the 5 fire halls (4 rural plus one city) as determined by the Fire Chief. There are now some rural trucks at the City fire hall and some City trucks at the rural halls. It is now an efficient integrated department under leadership of the full time City Fire Chief.

• One of the benefits from the amalgamation was that a few years ago most house insurance premiums were reduced.

• The present elected Rural Board is feeling redundant because the day to day operations are being carried out by the Fire Chief, and most administration is carried out by City staff. Also, it has been difficult to find people willing to be a rural trustee.

The Proposal to be discussed after the AGM The board of Trustees of the Rural District are interested in having the Regional District take over the legal and administrative obligations of the Rural Fire District but continue to contract the delivery of Rural Fire Service to the City of Grand Forks (same agreement). The Rural taxpayers should see no difference in the service provided or the cost. One level of government, The Rural Fire Districted, would be eliminated.

For more information please call 250-442-5363. Information on conversion to Regional Districts can be found on the provincial website at: http://www.cscd.gov.bc.ca/lgd/gov structure/library/improvement district conversion guide.pdf

Logging in Lynch Creek North raises concerns z Local Submission FRIENDS AND RESIDENTS OF THE NORTH FORK

The landscape surrounding the Granby and Gladstone Parks has been totally fragmented by logging and road building.

That’s the stark message conveyed in the satellite map released on April 2 by the Friends and Residents of the North Fork (FRNF), a grassroots organization dedicated to protecting the forests and ecosystems in the Granby Valley to support all forest values including wildlife, fisheries, biodiversity, water, soil, recreation and timber harvesting.

Logging roads have opened up motorized access to Granby Provincial Park and, in effect, the park has become an “island” surrounded by logging activity and road access from every direction. In 1995, when the Granby and Gladstone Provincial Parks were created, there was an intact wildlife corridor between the parks.

Clearcut logging activity and road building in the past 18 years has fractured that corridor and today there is almost no connectivity between the parks.

Lynch Creek North, including the Jones and Cannon Creek area, is approximately 3,500 hectares of unlogged forest representing the last intact forest and wildlife corridor

extending from the alpine peaks of Mount Faith to the Granby River. BC Timber Sales is planning to start a major upgrade and extension of the Lynch Creek North Forestry Road in preparation for logging over 90 hectares of forest in the area. This amounts to over 600 logging truck loads of timber, providing only seven or eight very short-term jobs that may or may not be local jobs, depending on who wins the logging contract.

North Fork resident Larry Butler worries about the long-term stainability of current rates of harvesting.

“When people ask me where I’m from, I don’t want to say, ‘The prov-

“

FRNF is calling for immediate protection of the Lynch Creek North area ... ince formerly known as Beautiful British Columbia,’” says Butler. “The trend in logging equipment manufacture is toward greater efficiency and fewer man hours per cubic metre of wood. So now it takes only five operators one week to harvest the same amount of wood that would have lasted the better part of the logging season 30 years ago. If this continues, it will be remarkable how quickly we hit the end and how few local people

will have benefited.”

“FRNF is calling for immediate protection of the Lynch Creek North area and a long-term focus on forest stewardship,” says Margaret Steele, a spokesperson. “We want a sustainable logging and stewardship plan for the Boundary Timber Supply Area to support long-term forestry jobs and to protect all forest values for future generations.”

This is consistent with the message sent by Grand Forks residents to the government in June 2011 at the Healthy Forest/Healthy Communities dialogue session: “The community wants a forest lands vision that incorporates all users and addresses their activities on the land base and not just forestry,” they said.

Long-term resident of Grand Forks, Dave Talarico, has been hiking, hunting and fishing in Lynch Creek North for more than 30 years.

Talarico, Butler and other avid outdoorsmen have seen a dramatic decline in wildlife populations over the years.

“There used to be a viable goat herd up here and lots of mule deer,” said Talarico. “Now the mule deer are down to a handful and the grizzly population is endangered to the point of extinction. Increased industrial activity and further road development will only cause more harm to these already fragile populations.

If we want wildlife in our future and for future generations, now is the time to speak up or it will be gone.”

People are encouraged to contact BCTS at 250-825-1100 to express concerns.

Once again movie lovers, I was lucky enough to see the drama/comedy Quartet directed by the actor Dustin Hoffman, his debut in this role.

It was taken from a play by Ronald Harwood and originally the play ran in London’s west end from September 1999 until January 2000. It was filmed in Hedson House, Buckinghamshire and the name of the house was Beecham House, a home for retired gifted musicians. The scenery is so very English and most attractive indeed.

It was patterned after the Casa de Riposo per Musicisti, which was founded

by Verdi himself. Each year, these gifted musicians hold a gala to raise funds in honour of Verdi’s birthday and this time, the financial side of things is not looking good. Into this story comes the wonderful actress Maggie Smith, an aging opera singer whose ex-husband, played by Tom Courtenay, is also living at the house. Both were surprised and not too pleased at first to see each other. Billy Connolly, the wonderful Scottish comedian, plays the part of a rather randy Scot, aging quite nicely with wit and humour. Pauline Collins is the fourth member of this quartet, a name given to the four who once sang a wonderful aria from the opera Rigoletto. A plan is hatched to try and sing this aria again at the gala, then the fun begins. The whole point of getting these four very well-known singers to sing this aria is to attract as many people as possible. It is a story of love, rivalry, ag-

ing and one thing did emerge for me so clearly. Talent does not die, these musicians could still teach and kept their talent very much alive. At the end, it tells us that real musicians played much of the supporting roles in the film and their pictures were shown to show who they once were. It is quite a slow moving film, a relief from violence and so easy to follow.

I have spoken to several people about this interesting film and I have nothing but very positive feedback. I hope Mr. Hoffman does another film, it seems he has great directing talent as well as his ability to act.

The movie is running a few more times this week at the GEM Theatre (April 10 and 11), so check it out people.

It will be well worth it.

Boundary Youth Soccer Association season kicks off in Midway PAT KELLY

Boundary Creek Times

Our season is April 29th to June 28th

Katrina Powell, Savannah Menzies and Megan Gorman show that teamwork pays on the sidelines too.

The rain didn’t slow the action when all the teams from the Boundary Youth Soccer Association (BYSA) came to Midway for their season opening games on Sunday.

While parents and grandparents took shelter under umbrellas, the kids had a great time.

BYSA president Jeff Olsen said the club extends from the Rock Creek to Christina Lake. In keeping with that regional focus, league teams are not allowed to name themselves after their geography.

“If we can’t support each other through the soccer association across the Boundary here, when it comes to the bigger issues, how do you ever get together and discuss those ideas, right?”

z ARCHERY

Local archers enjoy 3-D shoot at Rock Creek

The Kettle Wildlife Association Archery Club hosted a twoday, 3-D shoot last weekend at Rock Creek which, despite the wet weather, attracted 55 paid shooters.

According to Rebecca Lindquist the majority of them were there for both days.

There were two courses, with 20 targets each.

Grand Forks resident Gary Onions was appreciative of the work done by the organizers.

“It’s a good course – they do a good job here,” he said. “We’ll come here every year to shoot.”

The next events for Rock Creek’s club will be when the Traditional Bow Hunters of British Columbia come for a shoot during the May long weekend and another 3-D shoot at the beginning of June. Information is available at 250-446-2646.

There is a one-day, 3-D shoot on Saturday near the Cascade border sponsored by the Grand Forks Archery Club.

For more information call 250-442-8488 or 250-447-2627.

This year, Parkinson Society British Columbia (PSBC) wants to raise awareness that Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects the whole family.

When someone in a family has Parkinson’s, family members must learn how to live with the disease, too.

Whether it’s a wife helping her husband to manage his medications, an adult daughter arranging long-term care for her aging mother who has Parkinson’s, or a child who must learn to accept his father’s awkward movements, Parkinson’s disease is a family affair.

Jeanine and Meagan know what it’s like to live with Parkinson’s disease.

At 45, their father was diagnosed with PD. Jeanine was in Grade 4; Meagan was in Grade 2. Although life has been a challenge for this Delta, B.C. family, both young women have found ways to adapt to their family situation.

“When I got upset, I would start researching Parkinson’s,” says Jeanine.

“When I learned my dad was not going

PARKINSON SOCIETY OF B.C.

to die from it, I realized life wasn’t over.

It was just going to be different.”

Today, Jeanine, a first-year university student, is considering neurology as a profession.

Meagan, 16, is an honor roll student who keeps busy with horseback riding, playing soccer, walking dogs and teaching piano. “I try not to think about the disease too much,” says Meagan. “It’s a part of our life and there’s nothing we can do about it.” To involve their father with their school work, both daughters depend on their dad to proofread their essays.

“He enjoys knowing what we’re learning,” says Meagan. “But he’s a

tough marker!”

Parkinson’s disease is a chronic degenerative neurological disease caused by a loss of dopamine in the brain. It affects more than 11,000 British Columbians.

Although a person with Parkinson’s is often recognized for his or her lack of motor control, non-motor symptoms include depression, loss of sense of smell, sleep disturbances and cognitive changes.

The average age of onset is 60, but it can affect people as young as 30 or 40, like Jeanine and Meagan’s father.

Parkinson Society British Columbia helps individuals and families who are affected by Parkinson’s disease.

“Every year we receive hundreds of enquiries from people across the province,” says Diane Robinson, PSBC’s CEO. “We are here to help them learn to live with the disease. We connect them to support groups, host education events, and often refer them to other resources.”

z AWARENESS

Province spreads autism recognition

April is Autism Awareness Month in B.C. z Gov’t Submission

PROVINCE OF B.C.

The province is taking April as an opportunity to recognize children, youth and families living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by helping to raise awareness and increase understanding of this complex and prevalent neurological disorder.

ASD now occurs in approximately one out of every 88 births.

Though its causes are not yet fully understood, ASD affects brain development and is characterized by impairments in communication, social interaction and restrictive and repetitive behaviours.

With early treatment, children with ASD can see dramatic improvements in language and cognitive abilities to help them achieve more meaningful communication with family and friends.

The Province is helping increase knowledge and improve service capacity throughout B.C. through the Autism Outreach Program.

The program focuses on improving access to services in rural and remote communities and enhancing training for B.C. service providers.

Since the program was launched in response to public feedback in 2011, more than 1,250 B.C. parents, social workers and other autism service providers have received highquality autism intervention training to better support their own children or the families they serve.

“As expert knowledge of ASD continues to evolve and new research comes to light, it can be challenging for parents

and service providers to know which therapies and interventions are best for their children,” said Stephanie Cadieux, Minister of Children and Family Development. “That’s why the outreach program has been so important. It has helped connect B.C. families to vital, upto-date information on services while at the same time increasing local capacity to provide those services.”

“World Autism Awareness Day is a great international opportunity to consider what individuals with ASD can offer,” explained Deborah Pugh, executive director of ACT (Autism Community Training). With early support many can excel at school and in the workplace.

Meaningful employment is the focus for this decade but to achieve it we need to improve our early interventions and school-based outcomes.”

Autism organizations and community agencies host awareness events around the province throughout the month.

To find out what’s going on in your community or promote your own event, please visit www.actcommunity.net/ autism-awareness-month-2013. html Quick Facts • B.C. offers a range of services and supports for children and youth with ASD and their families. It is the only province in Canada with a no-waitlist policy for families to access autism funding once their child or youth has received a confirmed diagnosis of ASD. • With autism funding from the provincial government, families are able to choose the type of approved intervention that best meets the needs of their child.

As diagnosis, knowledge and understanding of ASD and effective services and treatments has increased, so too has B.C.’s investment in services.

Government provides more than $180 million annually for services that support children and youth with ASD and their families – including assessments, funding for early intervention, and education funding for students.

For children under age six, families are eligible for up to $22,000 per year to assist with the cost of autism intervention services to promote their child’s communication, social-emotional, pre-academic and functional life-skills development.

For children and youth aged six to 18, families are eligible for up to $6,000 per year to assist with the cost of out-ofschool intervention services. This is in addition to the $18,300 in per-pupil funding school districts receive to provide in-school interventions and services for every student diagnosed with ASD. The Ministry of Children and Family Development sponsors Douglas College to provide online training for behaviour interventionists at a significantly reduced rate to frontline service providers in rural and remote communities. To date, more than 85 students from 38 communities have taken the on-line course package.

Mike Antifaoff Mike Antifaoff was born on July 15th 1921 in a Doukhobor community of Kamsack Saskatchewan to parents Fred and Dora Antifaoff. Dora’s maiden name was Cheveldeaoff.

Mike was the fourth child of their family of six children – brothers Bill and Fred and sisters – Pauline, Ann and Betty.

Mike had a limited English education, which he received in a school in Kelvington Saskatchewan.

The Russian language he learned from within the family and the community, basically at that time people of the Doukhobor faith only spoke Russian.

In his younger years, Mike worked on their family farm and also for other farmers in the area. Working with horses he prepared the land for grain sowing, which included ploughing cutting, harrowing and sowing. In the fall, after the combine work was finished he gathered grain Sheaf’s and participated with others at threshing time. In those days many people throughout Saskatchewan were gathering, Herbs, Seneca Root, which they sold to stores and which in turn, were re-sold to customers for medical purposes. Mike, being a young lad, recalled quite vividly, taking part with others gathering this herb.

In the mid thirties, like many other Doukhobor families, they moved to British Columbia, to Grand Forks and settled in the area of Ruckle Addition.

Mike, in his teen years worked in the Fruit Orchards of the Okanagan Valley. In his leisure time he loved to play Baseball.

In the late sixties, Mike met Mary Argotoff. In 1969 they were united in marriage and their life together began in the area of Ruckle Addition.

Their family consisted of six children. From a previous marriage, Mike had two sons – Micheal and Wayne and a step daughter Audrey. Mary had three children, two daughters, Elsie, Grace and one son Harold.

All their children were treated as their very own.

Mike throughout his life worked on several different jobs; in the Kootenay area on the Waneta Dam, on the bridge in Kelowna, and in the last 24 years, he worked for Public Freightways delivering merchandise in the Grand Forks and Boundary area.

When he reached the age of 65, he went into retirement. Every year, together with his wife Mary, they grew a garden and Mike being a handyman looked after the home and yard. In their leisure time they loved travelling, they visited several Canadian Provinces and Western American states.

Mike was a member of the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ and together with Mary participated in its activities and Funerals.

In his elder years Mike’s health started to decline and over time deteriorated considerably, suffering complications and pain, but still being able to live on their own.

Some six months ago Mike and Mary moved to the Silver kettle Residence, where on Wednesday morning, April 3 2013, with his family by his side, Mike peacefully passed away. He was 91 years of age.

Mike was predeceased by his parents, father Fred 1936, mother Dora 1962, brothers Bill 1970 and Fred 1997, sisters Betty Hoodicoff 1993, Annie Relkoff 2002 and Pauline Messenger 2003.

He is survived by his wife Mary with whom he lived for 44 years, his children – Micheal with wife Laurel Antifaoff from Oakville Ontario. Wayne with his wife Susan Antifaoff of Vancouver and Audrey Baker from Vancouver.

Harold Argotoff from Nanaimo B.C, Elsie Carmen from Penticton, Grace and Gaston Parkin from Castlegar.

9 grand children – Patrica and Micheal Antifaoff, Nicole with husband Mike Lacoste, Cindy and husband Steve Donald , Don Parkin, Holly Parkin, Sheri and husband Gary McPherson, Erin with husband Karie Daniels, Robert Argatoff with partner Kayla, ten great grand children, Kiska, Evan,, Reanna,Tyler, Chelsi, (Annia), Kate, Donavon, Tegan and Gracie and one Great Great granddaughter Cally along with many nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

A Funeral Service will be was held Monday April 08, 2013 at the USCC Community Center Grand Forks BC with burial following at the Sion Cemetery Grand Forks, BC. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Everett Baker of Grand Forks Funeral home.

Louis “Gigi”

Rossi

96 years young (July 16, 1916 – April 1, 2013) It is with sad hearts that we announce Gigi’s peaceful passing at Hardy View Lodge (Sunshine Manor) in Grand Forks.

Gigi was born in Grand Forks and then moved to Casarsa, Italy with his family at the age of 5. While in Italy, he completed a cabinetry apprenticeship. At 15, Gigi traveled back to Canada alone by boat to help his Dad clear the land for his family’s new farm in the Northfork. His siblings and mother arrived later on. At 17, Gigi moved to Trail to work for Cominco.

It was there that he met the love of his life, Anna Mandoli at a Colombo Lodge picnic and they were married in 1939. Not long after their first child Joy was born, Gigi and Anna took over the family farm in the Northfork. Their second child Larry arrived a few years later.

On the farm, they worked very hard - milking cows, making cheese, haying and raising beef cattle.

Gigi was a jack of all trades and could fix anything.

He was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. There were a lot of friends around at all times especially during hunting season.

Lots of laughs and good times were had by all and many intense “Morra” games were played with red, swollen knuckles appearing the next day. In 1964, Gigi and Anna sold the farm and moved into Grand Forks.

He worked at the Province Hotel and kept everyone in line with a kind but firm hand.

Gigi enjoyed prospecting as well as hunting, fishing, gardening and making wine. He still had a love for the Northfork so bought property on the river and built a cabin. He cherished that cabin for the rest of his days and always said it was worth more than a million dollars to him! Gigi loved enjoying “10 drops” with the hunters and many friends who stopped by.

He had charisma, loved life and lived each day to the fullest. Family meant the world to him and he amazed us with his positive attitude, creative ideas and interesting stories. With the help of his friend Patti, case manager Molly and fantastic home support workers, Gigi got his wish of remaining in his own home up until a couple of weeks ago when he went into a temporary bed at Hardy View Lodge. The staff at the Lodge treated him like one of their own and made him feel cared for and comfortable.

Gigi will be missed by his son and best friend Larry (Wendy), daughter Joy Benetton, 2 granddaughters Cindy Emery (Randy) and Kim Benetton (Scott), 2 great grand-daughters Nicole and Sara Emery, siblings, Marion Bryant and Angelo Rossi, in-laws Louie Mandoli and Leda Agostinelli and devoted friend Patti Redding. He was pre-deceased by his wife Anna (Mandoli), daughter-in-law Myra Rossi, son-in-law Deno Benetton, siblings, Janice Poletta, Evelyn Pavan, Esther Babuin, Nancy Schiavon and brother-in-law Vince Mandoli.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Jordan Wren of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements.

In remembrance of Gigi, enjoy “10 drops” with family and friends.

LARRY DANNHAUER

As I write this, my wife and I are teaching at a Youth With A Mission training school in Russia and once again I am reminded of God’s diversity as we find ourselves in the midst of people from different countries and cultures.

Among the staff and students, there are people from Canada, U.S.A., Switzerland, Belarus, Ukraine, west, central and eastern Russia, Armenia, Iran, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.

It is so interesting to see how each one reacts differently to the various foods and ways that differ from their own.

Along with the cultural differences it is obvious that each of us was raised in a family setting that also influences the way we see things.

In most cases, our differences are not wrong, just different.

Yet all of these become a type of filter that affects how we see and understand relationships and more importantly truth.

It is often likened to a pair of glasses; green, blue, yellow.

The colour of our lenses will affect everything we see. If we find ourselves critical of the ways of others, we need to take off our glasses and determine why we see the way we do.

Even in our city of Grand Forks we have many cultural differences. How should we react to these differences? Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and love your neighbour as yourself.

All other laws are included in these. We all see one another and the world around us through our own lenses, but the Lord would have us learn to see one another through his. God loves diversity and he created each one of us in his own image and likeness.

Bruce Allan Murray

September 30, 1940 – March 28, 2013 Bruce Murray, age 72, passed away peacefully in Grand Forks, B.C. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 30+ years Faye, children Tammy, Pennie, Corrie, Todd, 12 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. Bruce was predeceased by his son Calvin, and his children’s mother Patricia.

Bruce loved all things aviation: he loved bird watching and hunting, loved to build and fly model planes, and obtained his pilot’s licence in his teens.

The responsibility of a young family made it impossible to pursue a flying career, so he poured his passion into volunteering at the Calgary Aerospace Museum.

A proud moment for Bruce was being part of a team that won a Golden Globe Award for his work building the model Avro for the CBC movie The Arrow. After moving to Grand Forks, Bruce made many good friends who truly contributed to his happiness.

Memorial services will be held in Grand Forks, B.C. on April 22, 2013 at 7 p.m. at the Gospel Chapel, 7048 Donaldson Drive. A reception will follow. A second memorial is planned for April 24, 2013 in Calgary at Rosscarrock Church of Christ, 1140 40 St SW at 1 p.m.

Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Aerospace Museum in Calgary.

She attended school in England. During World War II she drove a lorry during the bombing of London.

After the war, she moved to Canada to join her older sister in Montreal. It was here that she met John Knee, and on December 18, 1954 she was united in marriage to John. They settled in Delta, B.C. On December 1, 1969 she became a Canadian Citizen.

Miriam, with her husband John, moved to Christina Lake in the early 1990s. Miriam loved to entertain her friends in her home at Christina Lake.

In 2005, she and John moved into Boundary Lodge, where they resided together until John’s death in 2009. In 2010, Miriam celebrated her 100th birthday at Boundary Lodge with her many friends. She recently moved into Residential Care at Silver Kettle Village.

Miriam was predeceased by her husband John in 2009; her parents, Harry and Charlotte; and her four brothers and three sisters.

She will be missed by her special friends. At her request, no funeral service will be held.

She was born April 2, 1951 in Humboldt, Saskatchewan and had just celebrated her 62nd birthday two days earlier.

After completing her high school education she attended Saskatoon Business College and started her life long career in the insurance field.

Within a few years they moved to Grand Forks, B.C. where Yvonne was employed with Dave Dale Insurance and became office manager.

She truly enjoyed her job and all the people she had the privilege of working with.

Yvonne was an avid crafter; always knitting or crocheting, creating beautiful sweaters or scarves for her nieces who proudly wore them.

She enjoyed her jazzercise classes and met numerous people who shared her passion for the workout and they soon became lifelong friends.

Yvonne leaves behind her loving husband and soul mate of 29 years, Garry; stepdaughters Danielle and Darci; grandsons Ryder and Zachary; parents Dolores and Arnold Mueller; brother Glenn (Carrie); sisters Sandra Engele (Tom), Denise Silzer (Mark) and numerous nieces and nephews.

She has completed the final leg of her lifelong journey but her infectious giggle, dazzling smile and truly caring nature will be lovingly remembered but sadly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Robert “Bob” Williams 1925 - 2013

Robert (Bob) Laurence Williams passed away peacefully on Thursday, March 28, 2013 at the Red Deer Regional Hospital, at the age of 87 years, with his loving wife of 61 years, Dorothy, by his side.

Bob was born in London, Ontario on November 27, 1925 to Alfred and Cissie Williams. With an army background, Bob joined the Navy at the tender age of 17. At the end of WWII, he went to work for the Hudson’s Bay Company in the North. He met Dorothy in Calgary and they married on February 15, 1952. The North called him again and they moved to Fon du Lac, Saskatchewan with the Hudson’s Bay fur trade. They were blessed with two children; Laurie and Carl.

They moved to Yellowknife, N.W.T. in 1971 where Bob had accepted a position as Chief Mining Recorder. A few years later, he was promoted to Assistant Director of Non-renewable Resources for the Northwest Territories. They retired to Christina Lake, B.C. in 1983 and lived in their dream home with further moved to Winfield, B.C., Grande Prairie, A.B., Salmon Arm, B.C., and finally to Red Deer where they made their permanent home.

Bob was an avid gardener, a lover of the outdoors and was generous of heart.

His penchant for story telling would entertain everyone; even if they had heard it more than once. He loved curling, dancing and always had a solid handshake. Bob never shied away from a challenge – be it panning for gold or trekking up a mountain to check an eagle’s nest.

He is survived by his wife, Dorothy, children; Laurie (Russ) of Christina Lake, B.C., Carl (Mary Ann) of Yellowknife, N.W.T., and Jacqui (Darby) of Wembley, A.B., grandchildren; Dayna, Brad, Blair, Joe, Cole, Garret, Drew, and Cheryl, and great granddaughter, Abby.

PURPOSE OF DOWNTOWN BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT Downtown’s are one of the largest mixed use developments and there is rarely a strategic plan for downtown, nor any formal management of it. Council, through public consultation, has embarked on beautifying the downtown core to create a more vibrant and inviting area for the residents, business district and visitors. The goal is to create a special place to live, work and play.
