The City of Grand Forks will be taking over building inspections within city boundaries under a new Land and Development department on July 1.

Up until this point, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) has handled the service.

The new department will create a one-stop shop for future development within the boundaries of the city.

The department’s building inspection objectives include assisting developers in the planning process, creation and development of an accurate GIS (geographic information system) mapping plan of the city and a building inspection official.

“We have been working with the regional district on this for many years,” said Doug Allin, the city’s chief administrative officer. “We pay a fee to have (building inspections) done and right now we are not adding anybody to our staff, we are just simply absorbing that (service) within our current staff.”

In 2012 it cost the city over $100,000 to pay the regional district for those services, said Allin.

“The city will be saving significant money,” he said.

“We do have the qualifications on staff to provide all of the levels of inspection, but within that, there will be a requirement for us to cover other costs; there will be advertising costs, there

WAYNE KOPAN

will be administrative costs for delivery of the service. Until we get set up, we won’t realize what all the savings are but it will be a requisition amount that we are not sending over to the district,” said Allin.

The new building inspector for the city will be Wayne Kopan, current manager of environmental and building construction services.

“I think it will be a good move for us to keep things in-house and be able to process stuff quicker for the people out there,” he said.

Kopan said the RDKB would still be conducting building inspections, but only within Area D (rural Grand Forks).

“The only portion that we are taking from (the

regional district) is within the boundaries of the city,” he said.

One of the key objectives is the GIS mapping, said Kopan.

“The GIS is going to get us accurate mapping and complete detailed data on where everything is located in the city.”

The city will map out GPS coordinates so the building inspector can go out to a location and find a marker instantly, instead of having to look for reference points that are no longer standing and source maps that are outdated, he added.

Mayor Brian Taylor said the creation of the department has the stamp of approval from the city and the RDKB. “It’s been passed at city council and at the regional level, we have adjusted the budgets, and now we will be taking over this service from the regional district.

“For us it’s a money saving measure,” said Taylor.

Once the department gets under way, the process of building inspections will become more efficient.

“The (departments) will all be working under one umbrella; it will definitely be streamlined and create better communication internally because it won’t be involving another agency,” said Allin.

“The City of Grand Forks is looking at making this a priority for businesses, and building inspections will become a priority for our organization to help stimulate the economy,” he added.

Don’t Ignore Stress Take Responibility STRESS MANAGMENT

Reduce, Prevent, and Cope with Stress Stress management starts with identifying the sources of stress aren’t always obvious, and it’s all too easy to overlook your own stress -inducing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sure, you may know that you’re constantly worried about work deadlines. But maybe it’s your procrastination, rather than the actual job demands, that leads to deadline stress. To identify your true sources of stress, look closely at your habits, attitude, and excuses:

1908 An article on the origin of the Covert estate stated that W.H. Covert, veteran fruit grower of the Kettle River Valley, in 1885 started the famous fruit ranch four miles west of Grand Forks, by planting 25 fruit trees brought in from Spokane on pack horses.

1913 Elmer Waldrip, head of the Grand Forks Development Company at Calgary, made special arrangements for a special train of escursionsists to travel to Grand Forks for a personal inspection of the area’s potential for prospective ranchers.

1918 Robert Mann was in the process of installing an up-to-date irrigation system on his ranch, Williamede, east of the city, by means of which 25 acres would be brought under water.

1923 H.E. Woodland, president of the local Growers’ Exchange, was unanimously chosen by valley fruit growers to be their representative on the directorate of the B.C. growers’ association.

1928 The new Cooper Bridge at the Laws ranch, recently completed by Bonthron and McDonald, was opened for traffic.

1933 A wind reaching almost tornado proportions hit the region, demolishing a major portion of the city skating rink in the process.

1938 Matthews’ Service Station was taken over by E. Gillespie, formerly of Bowden, Alta.

1943 Elementary school pupils chose Fran-

ces Hartinger as May Queen, to succeed Shirley Johnston.

1948 Speaking in the legislature, T.A. Love, MLA for Grand Forks-Greenwood, demanded action be taken to curb Freedomite terrorism in the Boundary and Kootenay areas.

1953 A dynamite blast ripped out one rail and destroyed a dozen ties on the Kettle Valley line of the CPR near Ward Lake.

1958 Best actress award at the West Kootenay Drama Festival held in Trail went to Eve Lawrence, cast member and director of the Grand Forks entry, Tail of Fire.

1963 Milton Orris, sociology student at the University of Saskatchewan, was one of two recipients awarded $10,000 Province of Saskatchewan Fellowships. He was to spend a year studying at university in India.

1968 Wm. Ortis received his membership plaque in the Wise Owl Club from safety director Noel Kirby.

1973 Cathy Manson of Grand Forks gathered $584.36 worth of groceries at Super Valu in five minutes. She won the free shopping trip in Pepsi Cola’s Canada Shopping Spree sweepstakes.

1978 City council is anticipating that land in the industrial park could become the location of a new industry. Pacific Abrasives Ltd. is proposing to establish a plant that would convert solidified ladle slag into products used in solar generation and manufacture on insulation.

1983

Pet of the Week

Local taxpayers are paying interest on a $1-million debt load for waterworks improvements, part of it dating back to 1975 when they could have borrowed the money for a quarter of the cost.

1988 The RCMP seized books, records and financial documents while executing a search warrant in connection with complaints of misappropriation of funds in the Grand Forks Rural Fire Protection District.

1993 Grand Forks was the site of two provincial parole board hearings to determine if two Freedomite women, Tina Jmaeff, 68, and Mary Braun, 72, should be released from jail.

1998 Skater Tyler Bidnyk, 12, returned from the Tomorrow’s Champions contest in Toronto with a bronze medal. He was the youngest competitor in a field from across the country.

2003 Five hundred people packed the Grand Forks District Savings Credit Union annual general meeting last week to ask questions of their board members.

Former GFDSCU general manager Peter Podovinikoff appeared as guest speaker.

2008 International Forest Products had a meeting with its employees, April 9, to update them on the pending completion of the purchase of the mill from Pope & Talbot Ltd. Interfor told employees that the crisis in the lumber market is ongoing and as a result the mill will still be closed for six months to one year. Interfor plans to have a modern mill operating in Grand Forks with approximately 100 employees.

• Do you explain away stress as temporary (“I just have a million things going on right now”) even though you can’t remember the last time you took a breather?

• Do you define stress as an integral part of your work or home life (“Things are always crazy around here”) or as a part of your personality (“I have a lot of nervous energy that’s all”).

• Do you blame your stress on other people or outside events, or view it as entirely normal and unexceptional?

Until you accept responsibility for a role you play in creating or maintaining it, your stress level will remain outside your control.

Kopan to handle bylaws

Grand Forks Fire Rescue responded to a fire in the Ruckle area of Grand Forks Friday night.

The Boundary Neighbourhood Watch Facebook page had a number of posts regarding the fire, which was in the Seventh Street area, and two people were taken to the hospital – they were rescued out of the house by neighbours according to accounts on the page.

“Both were taken to Boundary (Hospital) to be treated for inhaling smoke,” witness Derek Taylor told the Gazette.

“It was very fast spreading; it’s hard to believe everyone is all right.”

Jeff Watson said he was one of the people who pulled the residents out – there were reports of others risking their lives as well.

He said he and his wife were having dinner at the house of a friend (Cory Taylor) when Taylor spotted the flames and smoke.

“It happened so fast, it was kind of a blur,” Watson said.

“We ended up going out of the house and started walking towards the fire to check it out and we noticed (one of the residents) running around the house to the front where the stairs are, going up to the porch.”

Watson said he and other witnesses were telling the resident not to open the door due to the backdraft but the resident opened the door and was blown over the railing and he landed on the ground in front,

The City of Grand Forks will enforce bylaws again.

Wayne Kopan, the city’s manager of environmental and building construction services, will begin to handle bylaw enforcement and building inspection in July – both will fall under the city’s new Land and Development department.

“I will be doing part of the duties of the bylaw enforcement officer, will be rewriting bylaws and enforcing some of those bylaws,” Kopan said.

City Chief Administrative Officer Doug Allin said that there is a need for someone to handle bylaw enforcement but not on a full-time basis.

“Is it a part-time position?

Very much so, depending on the need for the city,” explained Allin.

“Based on dealing with customer complaints and concerns, we have to have somebody to be able to address those so it is very important that we have somebody that is qualified and represents the city very well in council’s wishes as per its bylaws.

“We’ll measure the needs and the direction of council. If council chooses to do more or less that will be its prerogative, so that’s where it will stand for now,” he said.

Allin also said local RCMP would provide some assistance for the enforcing of bylaws.

“RCMP can provide peacekeeping support and those types of things but they won’t get into animal control or those types of things,” the city’s CAO said.

“They would only get into deal-

although he wasn’t initially unconscious.

“He ended up standing up and went up the stairs again because I guess there was someone else in there,” Watson said, adding that’s when two people (Watson referred to them as Dave and Dave) ran up and started pulling the railing off because there were flames shooting out of the side of the house by the stairs.

“I ended up jumping a little bit of flames to get up onto the stairs to grab the first resident and handed the person off to ‘Dave and Dave’ off the porch and at that point I had no idea there was another guy,” explained Watson.

He looked in and saw the second person’s head and said it was all timing.

“I grabbed him with one arm because that was as far as I could reach. It was so hot I could barely reach in. I managed to grab him and pull him out and then handed him off,” Watson said.

He said his wife could see

flames coming out behind him.

The fire department arrived on the scene quickly.

“We got called about 7:24 p.m. and the first unit was on scene at 7:28 p.m. We had 28 personnel, three engines and we basically had the fire out probably within an hour and the rest was overhaul,” explained Grand Forks’ Fire Chief Dale Heriot, adding that the fire wasn’t difficult to contain.

“We just had one hot spot that took a little bit of work late in the call but otherwise, we had it knocked down pretty quick,” he said.

Heriot said one of the people taken to the hospital has been released.

There was another fire in the Ruckle area in late-March but Heriot said the two aren’t related and there isn’t anything to suggest there is an arsonist loose.

“We haven’t determined anything yet. We don’t believe it’s suspicious but we haven’t determined a cause yet,” the fire chief went on to say.

ing with people in the park or noise bylaw infractions or those types of things. Whenever it wouldn’t be a conflict for them to support us, they’ve offered to support us.”

Allin said that it is expected that the bylaw officer or designate will be able to hand out fines, as the language is expected to be included in a related bylaw that will go before council soon.

He also said the reviewing and updating of bylaws is necessary, as they haven’t been revised for a while.

“Some of them are very outdated in a lot of ways. Some of them refer to the old municipal act, some of them suggest (people) would be subject to going to municipal jails, some bylaws refer to names of actual people rather than positions that maybe currently don’t exist in our organization, so it’s just basically housekeeping,” explained Allin, adding that some had to reflect new legislation from the courts.

“It’s keeping within the scope of our jurisdiction and ensuring that we’re not overstepping our bounds and basically between five and 10 years is a good idea to take a close look at your bylaws and ensure that they are current,” he said.

Allin said that municipal ticketing information and some bylaw amendments are being examined by Kopan and it will come before city council possibly in May, although it will be an ongoing process given the enormity of the task.

Kopan said traffic regulation, unsightly premises and municipal ticketing information are items he is currently working on.

z Our View

Bylaw changes a good thing The City of Grand Forks will have a bylaw enforcement officer come the summer.

Wayne Kopan, the city’s manager of environmental and building construction services, will also be responsible for building inspection and bylaw enforcement come July.

It is all part of the city’s new Land and Development department and Kopan will be tasked with rewriting bylaws too.

It is about time.

Last week’s Gazette online poll saw 79 per cent thinking the city taking on building inspection was a good thing and the same should apply for bylaw inspection, although the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary used to handle local building inspection and there was no bylaw enforcement officer in the city.

There are a number of bylaw infractions that people have complained about in the past but there were never any real consequences.

If someone feeds deer, it is both damaging to the deer and residents of the city.

Deer become dependent on being fed instead of foraging and in turn run the risk of being hit by automobiles, which not only damages vehicles but could potentially injure the drivers too.

Also, deer aren’t human and aren’t mindful of where they defecate and there have been complaints about deer feces on school playgrounds.

What do deer feeding violators currently receive as punishment? Bascially what amounts to a summons before council.

Air quality has been a concern for a number of residents within city limits, as witnessed by letters to the editor regarding Roxul Inc.’s Grand Forks factory, but while people aren’t allowed to let their cars idle for too long (three consecutive minutes), there was never really anyone in the city who could ensure this didn’t happen.

People could leave their cars idling for half an hour but there really won’t be anyone to hold them accountable.

Bylaw revision is also a good thing as some are in need of an overhaul.

Things have changed over time – city policy, laws and the like – and it will be good to have things up-to-date.

Bylaw enforcement and revision are things that need to be done.

So Justin Trudeau will lead the federal Liberals, as the son of Pierre and MP for Montreal Papineau took the leadership race with a reported 80 per cent of the votes this past weekend.

I for one am thrilled. I’m not a supporter of the federal Liberals but Trudeau is such a colourful and charismatic character.

Even though he is the son of a very famous former prime minister and even though he has been in the spotlight the last few years – whether it was through entering the leadership race in the first place or boxing with disgraced Senator Patrick Brazeau – he can expect even more scrutiny.

Still, from an entertainment perspective, and politics can be very entertaining, I’m looking forward to following his exploits leading up to the next federal election, which is scheduled to take place in 2015, two short years away.

People have said that the Canadian political landscape is a lit-

tle bland. Prime Minister Stephen Harper lacks the charisma of his counterpart to the south of the 49th parallel and while late-NDP leader Jack Layton captured the imagination of many, his successor Thomas Mulcair doesn’t seem to possess those same qualities.

Trudeau does. As mentioned, he went toe-to-toe with Brazeau in a charity boxing match.

In 2011, he swore at Environment Minister Peter Kent during a debate over the country’s withdrawing from the Kyoto Protocol – he used a word synonymous with feces.

That might not be acceptable behaviour from any politician, provincial, civic or otherwise, but

The Grand Forks Gazette, a division of Black Press, and a member of:

Publisher: Chuck Bennett

it adds a much-needed splash of colour to the boring, mundane discussion that takes place in Canadian parliament.

Pundits are wondering if Trudeau has what it takes to take down the Harper majority government. Some have speculated that both the PM and Mulcair are worried given recent polls and as per the last federal election, the attack-style advertisements aimed at Justin Trudeau have begun.

Former Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff was hammered prior to the 2011 election and you can expect Trudeau will get similar treatment. I’m against attack ads, as I think it cheapens politics, but then again, if Justin Trudeau reacts emotionally to such ads, as he did with Kent, the soundbites should be gold. People say that Trudeau is inexperienced but the next two years should provide him more seasoning and even if he doesn’t win the election, he should be all the wiser for the election after.

LETTERS More trail talk Editor: Re: Upgrading the trail (letter, April 3 issue) The struggle for wheelchair access is no joke for the disabled and the seniors in our community.

As president of the Grand Forks Community Trails Society, I’m proud of the accomplishments our community has made in creating multi-use trails that facilitate that access.

The new paved trails within Grand Forks have transformed transportation, allowing more people to enjoy our environment. I have been recognized by the community as a “Difference Maker” in the recent 25th anniversary of the Rick Hanson World Tour.

Ms. Anthony’s letter reminds us that the struggle for universal accessibility is not over. Nor is the disposition of the gas tax monies allotted to Area D by the federal government a laughing matter.

These monies may yet be discontinued by the federal government in 2014 and must be carefully invested in the future of our community.

These are legacy funds to be spent on public lands to benefit future Boundary residents. The paving upgrade offers Area D an opportunity to invest and to leverage gas tax funds to improve public health and create an amenity to share with our visitors. Changing hu-

man behaviour to create more people-powered transportation ensures a future that includes less carbon-burning vehicles.

Nor will there be significant environmental impact. The three-metre wide gravel trail is within an industrial corridor that has existed for 90 years and the paving upgrade will be in exactly the same footprint. The asphalt, carefully laid down on top of the existing gravels, will contain recycled materials and will itself be forever recyclable.

Indeed, the trails society is hoping that by paving the trail, there will be far less herbicide treatments necessary.

Certainly, with the completion of the project, natural stream flows will be repaired and secured from highway run off. There are many opportunities for environmental projects to educate and to involve the new trail users. The trails society believes that resurfacing the Trans Canada Trail will empower all users, regardless of age or ability, to enjoy and to appreciate our beautiful Boundary landscape. That is a legacy worth investing in!

Not looking out for own

Editor: Re: City scraps grant-in-aid system (story, April 10 issue) How unfortunate some members of our city council have decided in their wisdom to scrap the grant-in-aid program. How unfortunate some members of our city council have little or no social conscience. How unfortunate that those organizations that provide those less fortunate with opportunities have been left out in the cold.

We have lost a little of our sense of community. I believe our society’s obligation is for those with, to share a little with those that don’t.

They say that a measure of our society is how they treat those that have less. Certain members of our council obviously don’t believe this to be true.

Their truism is, “What I have is mine and too bad for those in need, that’s their problem not mine.”

“This is a new and different world. The challenge is to cope with it. Not just cope but thrive,” an illuminating quote from a cliché-rich film that Christine (my wife) and I just watched.

ROLY Although perhaps a tad on the RUSSELL grandiose side, the quote seems an appropriate theme for a number of different scales of our current place.

On a personal level, it’s a different world for me since I’ve been filling in for Irene Perepolkin as the Area D director on the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) board. To clarify, I’m her appointed alternate director. This means that I take the reins while she is unavailable, which is the situation that we find ourselves in currently.

Irene’s recovery appears to be going quite well, and although the timing of her return to the directorship is uncertain, she seems to be regularly improving. Until her return, I’ll do my best to fill the position effectively. On a more local scale, it has certainly been a bit of a challenge coping with keeping up with responses to the flood of feedback in regards to the animal control bylaw proposed by the RDKB. The amount of public input was impressive and a number of points were heard repeatedly and clearly at the RDKB; we have taken the bylaw back to the drafting tables, and will present a revised version in the future (not too distant future, hopefully) that we hope will be much more satisfactory to you all. We will provide opportunities for community input. Never fear, elements such as the breed specific language will be gone. So stay tuned, don’t worry and thanks for the bountiful feedback.

I think most of us would like to see this community thrive.

This is, in my mind, one of the primary goals of local government.

However, one prerequisite to local government helping facilitate achievement of that goal is good communication between the community and your government representatives.

The recent draft animal control bylaw has been an interesting experiment in the reality of the public input process. In the last two months the RDKB has been tasked with making decisions on a number of potentially significant issues – ranging from passing an annual budget on one hand, to creating a park system in Area D on another, and yet, as opposed to the deluge of feedback I received from people who love their dogs (as I dearly do mine), I received no input on those other potentially important and long-ranging issues. Why? This disconnect, I feel, is a significant flaw in our governance system that we are all responsible for correcting.

If you want the community to thrive, you’ll have to get involved, starting by letting your local government officials know what you think. On a more global scale, the environment and economy both come to mind when thinking about thriving in a changing world.

I’ll save the economy discussion for another time (live locally!), but perhaps the fact that it’s Earth Day on Monday, April 22 will help remind us to pay attention to our connections to the environment around us.

A simple start: think about whether you need that plastic disposable bottle of water before you buy it (reduce your footprint) and think about where that plastic goes after you’re done with it. We have a stellar recycling program in our area. Did you know you can recycle stretchy plastics, called “film plastic,” in the Boundary? Use it! The movie we watched, by the way, is called The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and cliché-rich or not, I do recommend it. Now let’s keep figuring out how to thrive.

EDAC: Services fall short

Grand Forks Airport

services, but before they approach an airline or bus courier it needs to make sense financially, said Kendel.

“The airport is an underutilized facility,” said EDAC cochair Gary Smith. “There are a lot of workers that work in the oil patch or out of town; if we had a local carrier or a carrier that was stopping off here to pick those people up, it would save them a lot of grief.”

In terms of bus services, Smith said Greyhound is cutting services through the Boundary and the transportation system in town is insufficient.

“There is a very basic transit system, it would be nice if there was something more robust and it serviced the region better,” he said.

The Boundary Economic Development Committee will be reviewing the regional initiative from EDAC at its next meeting, April 30.

“We are cautiously optimistic that they can see the value in at least gathering the information and then hopefully once the information is there, we have a business case to hopefully go to private industry and say, ‘Here is the business case. Would you consider flying here, or bringing in a small regional bus line?’” said Kendel.

z POLICING

Grand Forks RCMP losing extra cop

KARL YU

Gazette Editor

The Grand Forks RCMP detachment has been fortunate to have an additional member on staff for the last year and a half, according to detachment commander Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison.

“Our establishment was full. We had the number of people we were supposed to have but we had one extra because one of our constable’s transfer (Menno Van Agteren) was cancelled and his replacement had already arrived,” Harrison said. “We were very fortunate and this is very unusual to have one extra person.”

Harrison said that funding for the extra employee didn’t come out of the local detachment.

“It actually comes out of the funding of our southeast district headquarters because they control all the salary dollars – it doesn’t come out of the local budget or anything of that nature,” explained Harrison.

Harrison said that as of July 1, the staffing numbers will be

back to normal as Const. Sean Odermatt is being transferred to Kelowna and he won’t be replaced.

The Boundary Regional RCMP services an area from Rock Creek to north of Beaverdell on Highway 33, with two offices in the region.

The Grand Forks detachment consists of the detachment commander Harrison, an operations non-commissioned officer (Cpl. Richard Lanz), eight general duty investigators, a full-time public service unit clerk and two part-time public service unit clerks.

The detachment in Midway consists of a unit commander (Cpl. Kevin Christensen), three general duty investigators and a public service unit clerk that works full-time.

As has been the case the past few years, Chris Cottrill will serve as a constable at Christina Lake during the summer months.

The Boundary Regional RCMP is a provincial contract unit and all funding for police operations are supplied through the provincial and federal governments.

Q.

What options do I have to insure my motorcycle?

You now have more options than ever when insuring On Road Motorcycles.

While you still require your Third Party Liability from ICBC, your Collision and Comprehensive coverage’s may be purchased from insurance companies who offer a wide variety of additional benefits. For example this can include Travel Protection, costs to return a damaged or recovered stolen motorcycle, Lock Re-keying & Emergency Road Side Assistance, as well as Trailer & Riding Gear coverage. There are limits and exclusions to all policies so please ask what is included in your policy.

A.

These All Risk policies generally offer Agreed Value limits.

Agreed Value means if there is a total loss the company pays the amount of insurance shown on the policy declaration page. They may pay higher if the reasonable expense of recovering and repairing the Motorcycle equals or exceeds the Agreed Value. This is an important aspect of an insurance policy which affects your payout in the event of a total loss.

Most companies specify that you hold a valid Driver’s license for a minimum of 10 years and have at least your Learner’s Class 6 license, therefore the longer you have your Class 6 and the longer you ride, the less the premium you will pay! There are discounts available for Riding Courses, membership to clubs/associations such as BCCOM and HOG, specified anti theft systems . Choices of deductibles and monthly payment plans are available.

Gazette Reporter

The Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) believes that the future of the Boundary rests in large part in the improvement of transportation services.

At the last EDAC meeting, March 26, a regional initiative was brought forward, which deals with bus and air transportation.

“When we set out to see what would benefit the community, we identified barriers and one of the major barriers is it’s so darn hard to get to Grand Forks, you basically have to drive or be driven,” said Sandy Mark, member of EDAC. “If you need to go anywhere except in the valley, you need to drive to Trail or Castlegar or Kelowna to catch a plane,” she said.

The committee has gained the approval of Grand Forks city council to ask the Boundary Economic Development Committee to conduct a feasibility study, which would look at links to other transportation services, local and long distance charters, bus services within Grand Forks, access to medical services and access to job opportunities within the area as well as jobs outside the area.

“The economic development group can see so many economic benefits to having a better transportation system in the area. There are a lot of people in the outlying areas that come her for medical services, that come here to shop, that come here to attend events, but there is really no infrastructure for them to get here,” said Bob Kendel, co-chair of EDAC. The committee said that a feasibility study would give them some ammunition to look for bus and air transportation

A major new study on riparian areas in the Kettle River watershed will soon be underway thanks to funding from the Southern Interior Beetle Ac-

tion Coalition (SIBAC).

A $50,000 grant from SIBAC to the Granby Wilderness Society is supported by over $30,000 of in-kind support from the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB), government agencies and other organizations.

Discussions are underway for supporting contributions from local communities.

Riparian areas are the lands along lakes, wetlands, streams and springs that have vegetation and soils that are adapted to water. The study will contribute key information to the Kettle River Watershed Management Plan about threats to riparian health, current conditions, and possibilities for restoring riparian areas.

“What this means is that the whole Boundary – from Big White to Christina Lake – will have the science we need to make informed decisions about our streams and lakes,” said Grace McGregor, RDKB Area C director and chair of the Kettle River Stakeholder Advisory Group.

Graham Watt, co-ordinator for the Kettle River Watershed Management Plan, notes that the study will build public understanding of riparian health by filling critical information gaps.

“There currently isn’t enough information to develop management and policy recommendations for riparian areas,” said Watt.

“When riparian areas are healthy and covered with native plants, they provide habitat, protect drinking water and prevent erosion and loss of farmland.

But when urban and agricultural development, roads or recreational activities damage vegetation and soil, riparian areas aren’t able to provide these important services,” according to the study’s project manager Jenny Coleshill.

A major new study on riparian areas in the Kettle River watershed will soon be underway thanks to funding from the Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition (SIBAC).

The project is a collaborative effort of the Granby Wilderness Society and the RDKB’s Kettle River Watershed Management Plan.

The project will be overseen by the Kettle River Riparian Working Group, which is composed of stakeholders and various government experts.

SIBAC is a coalition of regional districts, First Nations Tribal Councils, and Community Futures organizations that supports research, planning and economic development projects related to sustainable forest management (www.sibacs. com/).

City and CUPE ratify four-year deal

Gazette Staff

There will be labour peace with the city and its workers as the City of Grand Forks and CUPE Local 4728 have ratified a four-year collective bargaining agreement.

The deal came into effect on March 1 and was adopted by city council on March 25 – it is highlighted by a two-per-cent wage increase annually for four years with reduced sick time. According to a release from the City of Grand Forks, union members voted 100 per cent in favour of the agreement – CUPE Local 4728 represents such

city employees as those in city works, financing, engineering and planning and administration.

“We are fortunate to have a strong and respectful working relationship with our union members,” explained Brian Taylor, mayor of Grand Forks.

“It was a pleasure negotiating our current contract,” said CUPE Local 4728 President Mike Noseworthy. “Thanks to the bargaining committee for a job well done.”

“Overall, we are extremely pleased with the professional and process-oriented negotiations,” said City of Grand Forks CAO Doug Allin.

Welcome centre attracts traffic

FREE!

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

The Christina Lake Welcome Centre has tracked a substantial increase of visitors to the centre in 2013.

In 2012, the welcome tracked a total of 850 visitors for the months of January, February and March, by recording every foot passenger that came through the building.

In 2013, that number grew 373.4 per cent for the same period to a total number of 4,024 visitors.

Some of that increase can be attributed to the amount of open facility hours.

“We are open a lot more than we were last year, operations are much smoother and more consistent,” said Wendy Darbyshire, president of the Christina Lake Tourism Society.

The network program manager for Tourism British Columbia, Nancy Frederickson, said the Christina Lake Welcome Centre has a lot of attractants, making visitation numbers so high.

“Christina Lake is in a good location, they are on the highway and they have an arts centre, so people are coming in for a lot of things,” she said.

Sheldon Weigel, president of the Christina Lake Chamber of Commerce, agreed that there are a lot of things bringing people into the facility and everyone gets counted as a visitor.

“Whether (people) come in to the kiosk to ask information, to come in and

use the bathroom, to go into the gallery, to go straight to the bistro or go straight down the hall to the (Christina Lake) Stewardship Society, wherever they happen to go, we count them,” he said.

The centre is registered as an entry-level visitor’s information booth, through Tourism BC, but they are not a full status visitor centre, which means they can’t use the trademark blue and yellow information logo, they don’t have highway signage and they are not recognized on tourism maps.

The welcome centre wants to become a full status visitor centre and it is in the process of completing a financial plan before it applies to Tourism BC. Darbyshire says travelers will be more aware of the welcome centre if it gets registered as a full status visitor information centre.

“Signage is a big thing, because once you get that big ‘I’ on the highway, people are so in tune with that visitor information marking,” she said. “We would also get recognized on maps and there is a little bit of funding available with that as well.”

Christina Lake Welcome Centre

Comparing visitation numbers between the Christina Lake Welcome Centre and the Grand Forks Visitors Centre, Grand Forks’ numbers are substantially lower.

In 2013, the city’s information centre recorded a total of 310 visitors for the months of January, February and March, which is up by 5.8 per cent over last year’s total of 293.

However, the manager of the visitor centre, Dawsha Hunt, said she doesn’t count everyone that comes through the building, which also holds an art gallery, a gift shop, a picture museum and washrooms.

Hunt said the total amount of people that come through the building is quite substantial.

“We have door counters, which count a different story. The numbers for the building last year were about 30,000, but I can’t validly count every one of those because I don’t talk to them yet they are technically still visitors,” she said.

The Christina Lake Welcome Centre recorded over 17,000 visitors last year.

SD51 looks at aboriginal support plan

PAT KELLY

Boundary Creek Times

Aboriginal enhancement was supported by technology at the board meeting for School District 51 (Boundary) last week.

Aboriginal enhancement teacher Marilyn Hanson appeared in person to deliver a report on recent work done on the Aboriginal Education Student Support Plan, while Sarah Bond – who had collaborated with Hanson on the project – appeared via a pre-recorded video.

The newly drafted support plans are based upon the Medicine Wheel and Circle of Courage and, in Hanson’s words, “Look at the whole child, not just where they were but how did they get where they were.”

Hanson said she felt that plans she’s used in the past were missing something. “There was something about the support plan that made me feel like it was about me rather than something meaningful for the student,” she noted.

“A support plan should include all of those things that we’ve been working so hard at as a district.”

The plan provides an opportunity to have students reflect on their own sense of belonging, mastering, independence and generosity and to set goals for themselves.

The plan includes a conferencing sheet that uses all of the words around the Medicine Wheel as well as represent-

ing the enhancement agreement, developmental audit and Circle of Courage.

Tracking of attendance, reading, writing and numeracy assessments help in identifying where resources are needed for targeting academic and social and emotional supports.

Conferencing provides a chance for staff and student to get to know each other better and for students to set goals based upon academic, social and emotional, cultural and physical goals.

Hanson said that this was the first time some of the students had ever had experience with goal-setting.

She said a conferencing sheet is being designed, which will follow Aboriginal students from grades 8 to 12 regarding career aspirations, asking students what they are doing and whether they are checking with career councillors and parents.

During her video presentation, Bond said use of the support plan has led to many enriching and engaging conversations.

“The Circle of Courage is weaved into the dialogue that we have with the students,” she said. “It connects the elements of belonging, mastering, independence and generosity to goal setting.”

Hanson suggested that perhaps the next step is to move this into the general classroom in a modified way. “Because it certainly fits learning outcomes for career and personal planning, especially

when it comes to goal setting,” she said.

Board chair Teresa Rezansoff said she’s been wanting for a very long time to be able to have something like this in place for all the students.

She asked Hanson what kind of time commitment from the teachers would be required to put something like this in place? Hanson replied that it would depend upon leadership in the schools.

“All teachers have had training in Circle of Courage and, if I can put a plug in, developmental audit training for all teachers would be absolutely fantastic,” Hanson said.

SD51 receives 98.5 per cent of funding for 2013-14 PAT KELLY

Boundary Creek Times

School District 51 (SD51) secretarytreasurer Jeanette Hanlon reported that the Ministry of Education announced funding for the 2013-2014 school year at the board of education meeting on April 9 at Midway. The Boundary School District will receive $15,249,835 – which is 98.5 per cent of last year’s funding.

“The decrease in funding is $232,231, which was expected,” said Hanlon in her report to the board.

Public finance meetings have been scheduled for April 29 at 5:15 p.m. at the Boundary Central Secondary School

(BCSS) library and April 30 at 6 p.m. at GFSS DLC (distributed learning centre)/library.

Hanlon confirmed that the government announcement of a funding increase of $116 per pupil (to a total of $6,900) does not apply locally because this district is under funding protection. *** At last month’s board of education meeting, the Boundary District Arts Council had asked the board to review policy regarding how approval is given for events in school facilities.

The group had been forced to find another venue when the board had censored its production of DECK because of

Board chair Teresa Rezansoff reported that the board has responded both in person and with a letter informing them that the board has agreed to that request and will forward it to the policy committee for review.

She cautioned that the review probably would not happen this school year, but that the arts council will be informed when it is on the agenda. *** Hanlon reported under the Carbon Neutral Government Regulation, the district had to purchase $22,443.76 worth of carbon credits for its 2012 emissions.

Local organizations take part in Earth Day KARL YU

Gazette Editor

Earth Day is on Monday, April 22 and there will be a number of events in Grand Forks on the day and leading up.

According to information provided

by Coun. Cher Wyers, co-chair of Grand Forks’ Environment Committee, a number of local organizations will be taking part.

Perley Elementary School will be taking part in the Earth Day National Pitch In campaign from April 22 to 25, where students will clean up specified areas under the direction of Grade 3/4 teacher Yvonne Konar.

“Perley will be doing its usual Earth Day national Pitch In campaign again this year,” Konar explained. “This national group provides us with bags that I distribute to all the classes, then during the week of Pitch In, each class goes to a designated area near the school to do a litter collection. Depending on the area

and age of the kids, it usually takes one to three hours.”

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) will be holding the Trash to Treasure campaign on April 20.

Residents from the RDKB and the City of Grand Forks can take useful but unwanted household items and place them on the curb (without disrupting traffic), place a sign indicating that the items are up for grabs and people can come by to take items they want – a free garage sale of sorts.

“There’s a lot of stuff that sits in our garages and basements that basically take up space and don’t really add to our lives,” explained Tim Dueck, RDKB solid waste management co-ordinator. “There are things that other people probably want. They’re useless to us but other people can certainly find use for them.”

Dueck said the three Rs of waste reduction are reduce, re-use and recycle and Trash to Treasure emphasizes re-using. However, Dueck stresses this isn’t a free garbage day and anything that isn’t

Boundary Community Hospice Association is offering Hospice End of Life Care Education The four day course is being held in Grand Forks at Boundary Hospital downstairs in the Board Room: May 1st, 8th, 14th, 21st 9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

taken by others must be brought back in by residents.

“There are no municipal workers, RDKB staff or anyone cleaning up after people. The regional district doesn’t have a free day at the dump or anything like that,” he said, adding that if people do bring items to the dump on Saturday, regular tipping fees will apply.

Dueck recommends putting items out by 9 a.m. and take things back in around 4 p.m.

The Grand Forks and District Public Library will have a display promoting Earth Day 2013 awareness.

The Boundary District Arts Council will host a gala concert to commemorate Earth Day on Sunday, April 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the auditorium at Grand Forks Secondary School.

In addition, there will be a local cleanup of back roads and byways on Sunday, April 21. People are being asked to meet at the Grand Forks Overwaitea parking lot at 9 a.m. and bring gloves and garbage pails and bags.

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF GRAND FORKS

PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF WATER MAIN FLUSHING The Water Utility Department advises residents that we will be flushing water mains throughout the City during the months of April and May. Flushing water mains are done as part of a scheduled preventative maintenance program to remove sediment that gradually deposits in the pipes and helps maintain water quality in our system.

Flushing will take place between the hours of 5:00 am and 3:30 pm. As we flush your area, you may experience a temporary reduction in water pressure and/or discoloration of the water. These conditions are normal during flushing activities and are only temporary. Please check your drinking, cooking, and laundry water before using. To clear your water lines, simply turn on your cold water tap or outside hose bib and let it run until the water is clear (approx 15 min.)

The City of Grand Forks regrets any inconvenience the flushing program might cause you.

If you have any questions or if you experience any persistent water quality problems as a result of this maintenance program, please call City Hall, at 250-442-8266.

z LITERACY

Library holds book sale z Local

In a second hand copy

Submission of The Selected Poems of A.E.

Housman, I found a piece of tattered paper bookmarking the poem Loveliest of Trees, LESLIE The Cherry Now. Housman’s DAVIDSON poetry celebrates a cherry tree in full blossom and the bookmark bore the pencil

scribblings of a young Canadian soldier on training maneuvers in England, not long before the D-Day invasion of Normandy. The soldier’s writing told of his weariness, his boredom, his loneliness and his sore feet, after long days of marching in the rain.

The sight of a cherry orchard in full bloom, touched by an unfamiliar sun breaking through the clouds, dispelled his gloom, eased his pain and transported him home to a high school classroom in small town Saskatchewan and Housman’s poem. On leave in London, he picked up a copy of the book and inserted his musings next to the poem. I might have been the only other pair of eyes to see the two, the poem and the soldier’s writing, side by side.

Second-hand or 10th-hand, books, the cloth and paper variety, heavy in your hand, hold that promise, the memory of all the previous readers, the knowledge of a shared experience, the potential for surprise in a margin note, an underlined passage, or a hastily written meditation on a fragile paper bookmark.

You might be looking for nothing more than a good read or some practical advice for the kitchen or garden, but maybe just maybe, something extraordinary waits for you, between the pages of any of the gently used books at the Friends of the Library book sale, April 25, 26, and 27, beginning at 10 a.m. each day at the Grand Forks and District Public Library.

The Lake gets new Pharmasave

Laura Carlson has just opened a new Pharmasave store with her husband Graeme at Christina Lake.

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

A brand new Pharmasave has opened its doors as of March 11 at Christina Lake, just below the medical clinic at 1746 Sandner Frontage Road.

“We opened the business because Dr. (David) Merry, has been wanting to put a pharmacy here for a long time,” said the Pharmasave owner, Laura Carlson.

Laura and her husband, Graeme, have owned the Pharmasave in Grand Forks since 1990 and have wanted to open

up a new store at Christina Lake for some time now.

“We couldn’t do it until we had enough pharmacists; in order for the business to be open you need a pharmacist in the pharmacy,” she said. “It’s hard to get full-time pharmacists in small towns.”

The store is open from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but a pharmacist is only in the store three days a week – Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

She said if the business warrants more traffic, that she will look at bringing in a pharma-

cist five days a week.

The Pharmasave has been open for a month now and Carlson says people have been receptive to the new store and business is steady.

They have opened just in time for the busy summer season at the lake, but she predicts that the winter seasons will be busy as well.

“We will be busier in the winter time because if it’s bad weather people won’t want to travel to town,” said the Pharmasave owner.

The store will have its grand opening May long weekend.

A Royal Affair plays at the Gem LARRY HUDEMA

Pomp, melodrama, tragedy, rampant idealism and illicit love headline the next Spotlight Film presentation, A Royal Affair, showing April 23 at the GEM Theatre.

In 1767, British Princess Caroline (Alicia Vikander, Anna Karenina) is betrothed to the mad King Christian VII (Mikkel Boe Folsgaard) of Denmark.

As if being forcefully married to an unpredictable monarch isn’t enough, she must also live in his oppressive country. Christian soon befriends a German physician, Johann Struensee, (Mads

7337 2nd Street Grand Forks 250.442.2928

Mikkelsen, Clash of the Titans, Casino Royale) an idealistic man of the Enlightenment. Through Struensee’s influence, Christian begins sweeping reforms of Denmark. Caroline falls for the quietly charismatic doctor and they enter into a forbidden and secret affair. The process of reforming Denmark has fostered dangerous conservative enemies, who use the relationship between the young queen and the doctor to their advantage. The resulting conflict threatens more than just the two lovers.

This gripping tale of the power of love amidst the power of the unscrupulous has won and been nominated for several awards, including being nominated for Best Foreign Film at the Oscars. It won Best Script for Nikolaj Arcel (screenplay 2009’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) and Rasmus Heisterberg at the 62nd Berlin International Film

The art of a corner kick

OPEN DAILY 10am - 5 pm

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

In a soccer match, a corner kick can be a move that gives a team a great scoring chance if it’s executed properly.

The idea of a corner kick is to loft the ball into a strategic position in front of the goal, where a teammate can either direct the ball into the net by heading the ball or kicking it in out of mid air.

A 14-year-old Grand Forks soccer player in the Boundary Youth Soccer Association, Nathan McKenny, described two different corner kick techniques.

“There are really two ways for a corner kick. If you want (the ball) to go straight and powerful, you kick it in the centre with your (shoe) laces, said McKenny. “Or there is another way (where) the ball curves in towards the goal for a person to head it. To do that you hit (the ball) with the corner of your foot.”

Fellow teammate Sandon Dribney said if you are good at taking corner kicks, you could curl the ball in directly towards the net.

McKenny told the Gazette that he scored a goal once off of a corner kick, which is something not many soccer players can Nathan McKenny takes a corner kick during a soccer practice say they have done.

The goalie kind of fumbled it in, he said, but he counts it as at Christina Lake Elementary School on March 10.

HEALTH

October 20, 1928 – March 25, 2013

Jim passed away after a short illness in the Moog Palliative Care Center in Penticton, with his loving family at his bedside.

Jim was born and grew up in Grand Forks, BC. After completing high school he went to UBC, attending medical school there, graduating with the first class to do so in 1954. Afterwards Jim returned to his hometown to practice family medicine for seven years.

Because of his love of delivering babies, Jim decided to change his practice to obstetrics and gynecology.

After undertaking further training in Vancouver, he and the family moved to Penticton wherte the Okanagan area benefitted greatly from his new specialty.

During his 45 years of deeply loved practice he helped bring several thousand children into the world. As an enthusiastic member of the Penticton Rotary Club for 36 years, Jim believed in and lived the Rotary commitment of “Service Above Self”.

Jim’s love for music had him to play the violin and later become a member of the Naramata Choir in 1979 until his death. Other hobbies included his passion for reading, and secondly sports.

He is survived by his wife of 61 years Marian, his two daughters Barbara (husband David Flater) and Kathleen and his son Dan and wife Sylvia, grandson Daniel and granddaughter Patricia. Two other sons, Jim and Richard predeceased him. His brother Ezra and sister Peggy Phillips were also very much part of his life.

Christina Lake near Grand Forks was his second home that he enjoyed for his whole life.

A celebration of Jim’s wonderful life was held at the Penticton United Church on Saturday, March 30.

Jim was cremated and his ashes have been placed in Penticton Lakeview Cemetery.

Those who wish to honor Jim’s outstanding contribution to his family, friends and Penticton and his wonderfully life are asked to make a donation to the Penticton Hospital Foundation on his behalf.

Dean Gordon

McGregor

May 31, 1962 – March 14, 2013

Dean was known for his passion for cycling, rock climbing, fishing and cooking.

He taught us to face adversity and to glean the most out of each precious day. Dean had a compassionate, generous spirit. His sense of humor was a source of strength; his enthusiasm for life and nature inspired many. Above all he treasured his family and friendships and was often giving gifts, sharing his music collection or offering his food, support, and advice.

Dean was born on May 31, 1962 in Trail, B.C. and grew up exploring B.C.’s interior with his twin brother, Dale. Dean graduated from high school in Grand Forks before relocating to Vancouver where he earned his degree at UBC (Phys Ed.) and completed VCC (Culinary Arts). His last career was with the Developmental Disabilities Association (Vancouver).

Dean strove for integrity in his work as a manager and he built many strong relationships. Making a difference was important to him. He worked until his own disabilities from ALS rendered him unable to continue.

Dean endured the captivity of ALS with dignity, tenacity and patience; he continued to cook through the hands of others and turned his passion for the outdoors to music and movies. The mischievous twinkle in Dean’s eyes shone brighter, even as his functioning declined. He died peacefully surrounded by family and friends on March 14, 2013.

Dean is survived by his loving wife, Danette (Kazala); his son McKinnley; his mother, Jeanette (Roberge) and Merv; his father, Ken; his brother Dale and his wife Stephanie (daughter, Talia); Danette’s parents, Henry and Jean; brother-in-laws, Chris and Dave and their families. Dean is also remembered by numerous friends and the extraordinary staff who cared for him in his last years. Special thanks to the ALS Society of B.C. and Richmond Hospital Palliative care team’s compassionate and respectful care, kind neighbors, Granville Chapel Parishioners, PROP, and the Developmental Disabilities Association.

A Celebration of Life will take place at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 18, 2013, at Granville Chapel, 5901 Granville Street, Vancouver. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the ALS Society of B.C., or the Developmental Disabilities Association (Vancouver/ Richmond).
