LITTLE OAK REALTY

Quick actions by two passersby prevented the death of a 39-year-old Burnaby man on Saturday.

Witnesses of a single motor vehicle accident at Lafferty pit (east of Christina Lake) freed the male driver from his vehicle on Saturday at 3:52 p.m.

“The lone occupant of the vehicle was travelling westbound on Highway 3 when he lost control at a corner, went off the road to the left and the vehicle rolled down an embankment and came to a rest upside down in Roadside Creek.” said RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison.

The male, who has not yet been identified, was submerged under water and trapped in his vehicle.

Two young men travelling along the same

route stopped when they came upon the accident and quickly ran down the embankment to pull the gentleman from his vehicle.

“One person in particular that we are aware of waded in the water up to his chest, got into the vehicle and managed to cut the seatbelt to get the person out of the vehicle which was submerged in the water and he was unconscious,” said Harrison.

The staff sergeant added there was a nurse, who was also passing by, that helped to guide the two rescuers through CPR and first aid, which revived the Burnaby man. Harrison estimates that the driver was submerged under water for nearly five minutes before he was rescued.

“Christina Lake Fire arrived shortly after and using ropes and special water suits were able to get the victim to the shore and transfer him to B.C. Ambulance, which was now on scene,” said

Ken Gresley-Jones, fire chief of Christina Lake Fire Rescue in a press release.

The driver was taken to Trail Regional Hospital, conscious but treated for having water in his lungs.

“The bystanders are credited with saving the life of the driver and we have identified one of the individuals involved and the other individual we don’t have any idea who he is and we are trying to identify them because we definitely want to recognize the fact that they definitely did save this person’s life,” said Gresley-Jones.

Jones said those who helped save this man’s life were asked to leave by someone (not from the Christina Lake fire department) before they could get their names.

“We hope we can make contact with you to extend our sincere thanks for your selfless efforts,” said the fire chief.

z Our View

Unsung heroes don’t get enough credit Heroes needn’t wear blue tights, red boots and cape. They come in all shapes and sizes and if it wasn’t apparent before, it has become apparent the past few weeks.

Two Fridays ago, there was a fire in Grand Forks and people braved the flames to carry the residents of the house to safety.

Everyone knows by now about the tragedy that took place at last week’s Boston Marathon and while the police, various other law enforcement agencies and first responders rightfully received their due, not enough was made about the other lesser-known heroes, the innocent bystanders at the marathon who comforted, consoled and even administered first aid to people injured by the blast.

A similar incident occurred this past Saturday in the area near Christina Lake. A vehicle was travelling westbound on Highway 3, lost control and went into a creek.

Estimates are that the driver of the vehicle was under water for about five minutes and it could’ve ended tragically if it weren’t for two passersby, one of which reportedly went into the water, cutting a seatbelt and getting the unconscious driver out of the water. The local fire department arrived on the scene and helped get the driver to shore.

The driver was taken to hospital, alive, thanks to the actions of the two men.

The men were said to have been told to leave before names could be taken, although one has been identified.

Officials are hoping the second individual comes forward, as he deserves recognition for helping to save a life.

The world is full of heroes, whether it is someone who helps another, less mobile person cross the street, someone who donates money to charity but doesn’t want any credit, even someone who picks litter up and places it in a trash receptacle and they are almost never recognized for their efforts but they should.

Hopefully, the second person who aided in the rescue near Christina Lake is found and receives recognition.

It’s not every day that someone saves a life.

Over a week ago now, a Boston thoroughfare lined with cheering spectators turned into a scene of screams and carnage as a pair of bombs went off two blocks apart during a marathon that attracts thousands of runners from all over the world every spring.

I was in the newsroom finishing off a local story that afternoon, when I first heard about the tragic events.

I was in shock. I quickly looked up nation-wide news sites to get myself caught up. When anyone brings up the Boston bombing discussion now, those images of pandemonium and chaos spring back into my mind as I watched the horror of those bombs that afternoon.

The information was almost instantly available online through media outlets.

As I watched the aftermath – the allegations, the shoot-out, the death and the arrest – unfold over the past week, I began to question

z Porteous Profiles

the coverage.

I was surprised to hear that they had found two suspects so quickly and at first I was relieved.

I agreed with President Barack Obama, whoever inflicted so much pain and suffering should feel the full wrath of justice.

My girlfriend and I were watching the American news stations to get all the latest information, until I started to get sick of all the accusations.

I say accusations because it was apparent to me that not all but a handful of these news stations were pointing the finger before they had all the facts.

Reporters and news hosts were

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

Publisher: Chuck Bennett

speaking with family and friends and asking them pointed questions that were highly accusatory.

This sickened me, not because anyone should take the seriousness of this crime lightly but because he was only a suspect at that point and the coverage was turning into a public trial. If this boy and his older brother (who is now dead) did commit these crimes, than I believe they should get the full punishment. If this boy is innocent, that won’t matter anymore because the media has already ruined his reputation worldwide.

I know as a journalist that reporters have the ability to change someone’s life forever. For those that died and were injured in the devastating bombing, I understand why we all want to find the bad guys and punish them, but the media has an unbiased role to play and I didn’t see that role being played very well, at least in this instance.

LETTERS z BRANDING

Pointing to Nike Editor: Re: City approves of new brand logo (Story in the March 5 issue) The Gazette had an article regarding the new city logo, and we were asked to withhold criticism until it had time “to take on meaning.”

If the branding process is as important as the city seems to believe, the citizens should be allowed to express their views now.

The proponents of the new logo, Story and Co., state that the logo gives credit to the past and that the simple lines on the logo are intended to represent the valley and its agricultural roots.

I can see nothing in the logo that can be related to any of our founding industries (agriculture, mining and forestry) unless you argue that the splotches of white represent bleached hemp leaves. If city council believes that this logo will put Grand Forks on the map they have a long wait ahead of them. They have to develop the “product” first.

Mountains and rivers, part of our heritage, are brushed aside as being unnecessary, since the famous Nike “swoosh” has little to do with their story.

One source states the first swoosh was used to frame the “Nike” name, and clever

marketing kept the two so entwined that the swoosh began to represent the product.

If Nike had not become famous we would have never heard of the swoosh. Point being the logo did not put the famous product on the map but vice versa.

Grand Forks will have to put itself on the map before a logo will be of any value.

The Economic Development Advisory Committee has just begun defining who we are, where we’re going and how to get there.

Until this has been completed, there seems little sense in going through a branding process. If citizens decide they’re quite happy in a small town with no population expansion or increased industrial activity, there would be no need for a logo or branding anyway. It seems that the cart has been put before the horse.

z ENVIRONMENT

Stop selling resources Editor: Regarding the attempts by various governments to sell off out natural resources as fast as possible.

The most important issue to consider at this time is the ownership of those resources and I would like to suggest that it is not Christy Clark, Harper

z OPINION or Redford. Obviously it would be the Canadian people, not only those here at present, but the generations to come – my grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great and so on and also all of yours.

We should also inform leadership that the resources in the ground do not deteriorate or depreciate but increase with time in value much more than money in the bank.

They should be disposed of at a much slower rate, wisely, and making sure that there will be plenty for the future, thereby ensuring growing employment opportunities for many years to come.

The federal government needs many billions for the purchase of warships, helicopters, planes, etc. – all high-tech killing machines.

The army will also need much upgrading.

This begs the question, who are we at war with, who do we plan to be at war with and why? Would not that tax money be better used for peace, hospitals, schools, roads etc.?

Big oil keeps assuring us that they can build pipelines without destroying the environment, more lies. The fact of the matter is that if it would be 50 years before the first major problem, then it would be one accident too many and many years too soon.

To those people who wish to keep Canada from being turned into a wasteland I propose a slogan: Northern Gateway, Never, No Way. Gordon Planedin, Christina Lake

Nothing less than stringent regulation is acceptable On April 12, a press release from the Kettle River Watershed Planning office announced that the Granby Wilderness Society was the recipient of $50,000 to be invested in a study to determine the state ROY RONAGHAN of the riparian areas within the Kettle River watershed.

Why is the study needed? Will it be confined to specific areas?

What will be examined?

Studying the whole watershed would appear to be an almost insurmountable task because of its size and complexity. Graham Watt, Kettle River Watershed Management Plan co-ordinator has reported that the watershed encompasses 11,000 square kilometres and that there are 99 lakes larger than a hectare in size within it. Three major rivers and hundreds of feeder streams of varying size drain the area.

The press release does not provide sufficient detail to give residents a clear idea of why the study is needed and what it will determine.

Grace McGregor, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary director for Area C, stated, “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.”

Supposedly the study will provide valid reasons for the watershed management plan that will be developed by 2014.

The key phrase in McGregor’s statement is “the science we need.” Will it legitimize future policies and bylaws?

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

What difference will the results of a study make to the development of policy recommendations?

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

McGregor, Watt and Coleshill know that land owners will resist change and that they will continue to exercise their right to do what they want on the land they own that includes river or lake waterfront or a wetland.

The challenge of stopping the destruction and deterioration of riparian areas and wetlands is immense.

Would it not have been better to invest the grant money in the preparation of educational materials such as videos, PowerPoint presentations and printed material to be used widely in kitchens and living rooms, town hall meetings and seminars to raise awareness and emphasize the need to maintain healthy riparian areas throughout the watershed?

Farmers and ranchers must be persuaded to avoid the removal of trees and shrubs and any modification of river and stream banks to allow their farm animals to use them as watering holes.

Lake shore property owners must be persuaded to avoid the removal of natural vegetation between their dwellings and the lake’s edge.

Landowners with river frontage must be persuaded to leave large cottonwoods in place as a critical part of the ecosystem.

They must also be persuaded not to remove trees that fall into the river.

A landowner with river frontage who is losing land because of erosion must be persuaded that when rip-rap is used it must be carefully installed under supervision.

Quad and trail bike riders must be persuaded to avoid riding in or close to streams and wetlands.

Logging companies must be persuaded to leave wide swaths of natural vegetation (including large trees) on both sides of any stream.

It is well known that riparian areas along rivers and major streams, and those around lakes and wetlands have been badly treated. Many have been highly modified and many have been damaged beyond the point of recovery.

The eventual outcome of the study of the state of riparian areas throughout the watershed must result in the development of stringent rules and regulations with severe penalties when they are breached. Anything less is unacceptable.

z COUNCIL

BMXers allowed to use camp washrooms

KARL YU

Gazette Editor

The Grand Forks BMX Club made a presentation to Grand Forks city council regarding the use of washrooms at the City Park campgrounds on April 15.

The club has races at the BMX track in City Park and last year, was making use of washroom facilities at the lift station, which was farther away from the track.

“The Grand Forks BMX Society stands before you this evening to present to you the need for washroom access at the west end of City Park at the BMX track on Wednesday nights from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., May 1 to Sept. 25,” explained treasurer Marg Kovacs. “These washrooms are connected to our motoshed concession.”

Kovacs said that up until last season, the club always had access to the washroom facilities in the campground, which was closer than the facilities at the lift station.

“We obtained the pass-code (for the washrooms) from the campground attendant or calling public works for the code prior to the races on Wednesdays,”

Kovacs said. “As far as I’m aware, there has never been any issue of severe vandalism on those nights and our club members make sure that the washrooms are respectable before leaving for the evening.”

Kovacs said there are a lot of parents at the track and it would be easy to monitor the washrooms to make sure nothing goes wrong and pointed to the provincial race, which the club hosts in July, where numerous racers come to Grand Forks to take part.

“It is essential that we have washroom access, as we have a large group of families with kids racing and younger children in tow. To send a four or fiveyear-old racer to the other end of the park, to use a washroom is not a safe thing to do,” she said, adding that the BMX club was willing to maintain tighter control on washroom access by having a handout key and return policy for those rooms to avoid any mischief.

“If you’re running a concession, then you should be having washroom facilities available,” said Coun. Neil Krog, adding that it shouldn’t be down the road.

“If you’re serving food, you figure

there should be closer washrooms. It’s one night a week with the understanding that (the club) knows what our concerns are and they would look out for them. They’re not going to clean the washrooms but they’re not going to let everybody and their dog have mud fights in it. There shouldn’t be a problem with allowing our own citizens to use what they pay for,” he said.

Coun. Cher Wyers seemed to be against it, saying that it was a short walk to the washrooms at the lift station area.

“I strongly feel that those (campground) washrooms should be left alone for our campground users during our campground season,” she explained.

Council first voted to accept the presentation and Krog put forward a motion that the BMX club have access to the washrooms.

Coun. Michael Wirischagin seconded and a majority of council voted in favour with Mayor Brian Taylor, Coun. Patrick O’Doherty and Wyers voting against.

Taylor warned council that there may be more costs incurred because of this and city CAO Doug Allin said there would be a report relating to this at a future meeting.

Two boats stolen in two days likely not coincidence SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

On April 18, a 3.7-metre aluminum boat was stolen from a house on 77th Avenue in Grand Forks. The theft was reported at 1:34 p.m. and the boat did not have any serial numbers on it; however, it did have a yellow motor mount on the hull.

“It was lying beside the carport at a vacant home and it disappeared,” said Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. There are currently no witnesses or suspects.

Another aluminum boat went miss-

ing a few days later.

A 3.7-metre aluminum boat with a trailer went missing from an address on 78th Avenue on April 20, at 2:14 p.m.

“It’s too much of a coincidence,” said Harrison in regards to two 3.7 metre boats going missing in the same neighbourhood, two days apart.

The boat was a 1970s build with an expired licence plate on the trailer, with the numbers 304580.

“No witnesses or suspects have been identified,” Harrison said.

Car set ablaze, suspected arson Police on patrol on April 21 encountered a 2001 Chrysler Intrepid in flames

on Central Avenue at 4:03 a.m.

“The fire appeared to have originated under the rear of the vehicle and the gas cap was open,” said Harrison.

A 1993 Toyota 4Runner parked beside the burning vehicle caught on fire as well. It’s believed to have been from exposure to the fire.

“Both vehicles were write-offs,” said the staff sergeant.

Arson is suspected and there were no witnesses or persons encountered in the vicinity. Anyone with information is asked to come forward to the RCMP. The number of the detachment is 250-442-8288.

z FOR THE RECORD Just to clarify an article on the re-implementation of the PST in the April 3 Gazette (Local businesses re-adjusting to PST).

When the HST was implemented, certain items, not previously subject to PST cost an additional seven per cent to the consumer, not an additional 12 per cent. With the re-implementation of the PST, items, like restaurant meals, are no longer are subject to HST, but they are still subject to GST, so the reduction will be seven per cent, not 12 per cent.

z FALL FAIR

Fair to attract artists from coast

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

The Boundary Country Exhibition has a new president, Jason McIver, and he has a few new ideas for the coming fall fair, which runs from Aug. 23 to 25.

“We want to regionalize the fair,” said the new president who took over for Les Braden, who stepped down due to family and health related matters.

“It’s really hard to find vendors but if we can regionalize the fair, then we can book venders that follow the BC Fairs circuit,” he said.

McIver envisions the fair becoming a larger music venue, which could include bringing in artists from the coast.

“We want this to be a venue for up and coming country artists,” he said.

Right now the fair is working in collaboration with the British Columbia Country Music Association (BCCMA).

“They are sending three people up from the coast to do music for us and want to make it yearly thing,” said the Boundary Country Exhibition president.

McIver said he’s also looking on focusing on a central regional theme, whether that be logging or mining.

“One year we could focus on mining and the next year we could focus on logging, but we want to focus on regional themes.”

The fair is also looking for a permanent site for the fair, but this year Mc-

Iver thinks that the fair will be held in the same location, Dick Bartlett Park.

“If we had a permanent site than we could do more events throughout the year, we could hold music events as well,” he said.

While there are a lot of plans for this year’s fair, the president said that they need to stay within budget.

“We kind of went hog crazy with spending last year. We need to get the budget under control before we can do anything.”

McIver said he wants to make sure that everyone knows that the fall fair is definitely going to be up and running this year.

❚ TRAILS

Agreement penciled in

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

The Grand Forks Community Trails Society and the Grand Forks ATV Club are working together to try and improve the relationship between all trails users.

The two groups have created an agreement between all trails users in the Boundary in an effort to involve everyone in the decision making process related to trail usage, maintenance and management.

In and around Grand Forks, people take advantage of hundreds of kilometres of trails on foot, by bicycle, on horses, on snowshoes, on ATVs, motorcycles, skis and snowmobiles, states the Boundary Country Trails Agreement.

“The agreement is all about dialogue, being respectful of other users and being considerate,” said George Longden, a director of the Grand Forks Community Trails Society.

The vice-president of the Grand Forks ATV Club, Doug Zorn, said in the past few years there has been a lot of conflict amongst trails users in the Boundary.

“It got to the point were the ministry (John Hawkings, provincial trails manager with the Government of B.C.) said, ‘Hey unless you guys can start resolving this locally, we are going to basically just step away from these trails because all we are getting as a government is hate mail and negative talk about the trails,’” said Zorn.

The Grand Forks ATV Club got its hands on a trails agreement that

was initially put forward in Princeton and presented it to the Grand Forks Community Trails Society.

“Doug Zorn came up with a copy of (the agreement) and I localized it out of that. Over a two-year period, we have come up with a list of all the groups involved,” said Longden.

Zorn, Longden and their respective groups are looking for co-operation and collaboration between 19 trail user groups, the City of Grand Forks, RDKB Areas C and D and the province “I think what we all need to work together, trail groups, stewardship groups and the province and as well local government to solve some of the challenges around trails in the area at the local level,” said Hawkings.

“Successful management of trails for recreational opportunities requires that all trail users work together to achieve a common purpose,” states the agreement.

The trails society and the ATV Club held an initial Boundary Country Trails Agreement meeting on March 11; 16 trail user groups were present as well as the provincial trails representative.

“What came out of the first meeting is that everyone was interested in continuing,” said Zorn.

A second meeting will be held on next Monday (April 29).

“We hope to have as many groups as possible sign this agreement,” said Longden.

“We are hoping that all the trails user groups will come, it’s to all their benefit,” added Zorn.

Kane’s Harley from Kelowna, the local Harley Davidson dealer, was making a showcase display tour of the area and was in Grand Forks on Saturday and Sunday. Hogs were on display as well as a motorcycle simulator.

NEWS z ABATTOIR

Completion of slaughter unit approaching

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

The Grand Forks and Boundary Regional Agricultural Society is getting close to rolling out its mobile slaughtering unit.

The $400,000 abattoir is a 12 metre self-contained red meat and poultry slaughtering unit and it’s been in the works for nearly six years now, said Roly Russell, president of the agricultural society.

The provincial government upped the slaughterhouse regulations and implemented new regulations surrounding the sale of meat in the mid-2000s, which made it nearly impossible for small-scale farmers to get their products into the market.

“It’s been an ordeal to get this thing here, but that’s what has kept me going on it is the idea that there are a lot of producers out there that basically don’t have any access to the market right now,” said Russell.

The agricultural society got the majority of the funding through Western Economic Diversification ($240,000) and the remainder of the funding came from the Meat Transition Assistance Program, Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust, Phoenix Foundation and Community Futures.

Initially, the agriculture society was looking at developing a stationary slaughtering plant.

“We had a real problem with that because there was a ‘not in my backyard scenario,’ then we turned around and thought OK let’s go mobile,” said agricultural society past-president Doug Zorn, which is when the idea of the abattoir was born.

“Our agriculture in the valley is predominantly meat production,” he said, which is why the unit is a big step forward for local meat producers.

The Boundary Country Livestock Co-op has been awarded the contract to lease the unit from the agriculture society.

When the mobile slaughtering unit gets running into full production, the abattoir will be able to process seven cows per day, which produces 14 sides that need to be hung for 14 days.

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.

Cost: $45.00 Includes: resource materials, lunches / snacks This is a wonderful opportunity for those interested in learning more about End of Life Care and the importance of embracing holistic compassionate support. So whether you would like to become a Hospice volunteer, planning a career in healthcare or simply would like to learn more about this significant stage of life.

Please call Louise at 250 443 2162 for more information.

While the abattoir is a good start, Zorn said it’s doesn’t solve the entire problem.

“We have very limited capacity for processing finished product. We need to have considerable room for those sides to be hanging there for 14 days,” said the past-president.

There is only one meat cut and wrap shop in Grand Forks and one in Christina Lake, which isn’t nearly enough,

added Zorn.

Russell believes that once all the wrinkles are ironed out with the mobile unit, that it has the potential to be good for the local food system.

“We will be able to market local meat: that is going to be good for the economy and good for the environment. Making (this local food product) accessible has the potential to provide lots of jobs and also be good for our economy.”

“I was really excited to receive this award again on behalf of Black Press and the entire team who works so hard on Route 3 magazine,” said Hammett.

“It’s an honour for us to be recognized as the best in its class throughout British Columbia and the Yukon.”

Engineer says Grand Forks slag pile not moving SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

Late in 2012, a concerned resident informed the City of Grand Forks that the cracks at the south end of the city slag pile were widening.

At a Committee of the Whole meeting on April 2, Scott Shepherd with Urban Systems and Peter Hanenburg with Interior Testing, addressed the issue.

“The biggest driving force that we were aware of at the time was Overton Creek; that seasonally it flows into the slag pile up top and water can be a potential trigger for landslides,” said Hanenburg. “The biggest issue raised is, ‘What happens in the event of a large scale slope instability slide into the

The

Granby River, what would that do?’”

On behalf of the city, Shepherd and Hanenburg took a look at the matter, which resulted in two recommendations: monitor the slag pile or divert Overton Creek.

In regards to the first recommendation, the slag pile has been monitored for movement for over a month by Interior Testing Services.

“In the last month of monitoring, we have seen absolutely no movement of the slag stock pile,” said Hanenburg, so he doesn’t believe that a redirection of the creek is necessary.

“We have science backing us saying there is no movement,” he said, adding that the diversion of the creek at this time was not recommended.

In terms of a creek conversion, the

Quiet

budget estimate of $270, 000 (which was quoted in the Committee of the Whole meeting) Shepherd was greatly exceeded, as the catchment area was larger than expected with much higher velocity than was anticipated, said Shepherd.

Hanenburg suggested that the city get a hydro geology report before considering diverting the creek.

The city will follow up with Pacific Abrasives and ask them to partake in the cost of hiring a hydro geologist to continue to monitor the slag pile as well as provide a hydro geology report.

“The hydro geology reports might come in and give us value, they have much stronger and better understanding of how deep down ground water flows and how it erodes over time,” added Hanenburg.

SALE

...and we’re not going to make much noise about this Quiet Sale. I’ll just go about the store... quietly slashing prices as I go.

Everything in the store is being quietly, but dramatically discounted. The discounts really are extraordinary... in a quiet kind of way.

This Quiet Sale is happening from Thursday, April 25 to Tuesday, April 30 which happens to be our fiscal year end, at which time I would rather be quietly drinking beer instead of counting inventory.

PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF WATER MAIN FLUSHING

40 years of service

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.

A man was incorrectly identified as Tom Keogh in the April 17 issue of the Grand Forks Gazette. That man was Ludovic Paulin and he was awarded a 40-year legion membership pin.

Tom Keogh, pictured here with Royal Canadian Legion Branch 59 President Joe Tatangelo, also received a 40-year pin.

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.

Tasty tradition continues in town

KARL YU

Gazette Editor

The tradition of Girls Guides selling cookies in Canada can be traced back to 1927 in Regina, Sask. and it’s good to see tasty tradition continuing.

The packaging may have changed, new flavours added and new ways of making the cookies but they still remain as popular as ever.

Erin Stavenjord, a unit leader for the Girl Guides in Grand Forks, says the tradition of the cookies is a reason why they are so admired.

“I think people have been so used to them and they’re guaranteed all the time. You have people who like the classic cookie, who are the chocolate and vanilla lovers, and then you have the mint cookies in the fall that people will wait for,” she says. “I think the taste just attaches to the tradition. They’re a constant that people still know they can get.”

The chocolate and vanilla flavoured cookies have been around since 1953 with the mint flavoured since 1995 but Stavenjord says she’s been to places that have even more flavours.

“I’ve seen them down at Wal-Mart (in the U.S.) and they have peppermint, ones with sprinkles in them and things like that,” she explains, adding that it is not known if Girl Guides of Canada will be getting those flavours any time soon.

When asked about what changes or flavours she would like to see added or made, Stavenjord pauses.

“I thought about cookie dough and then I thought, ‘You know what? Why change a good thing?’ I like it as it is. I think I might be a traditionalist,” she says.

Girl Guides of Canada’s cookie sales are its biggest fundraiser according to Stavenjord, with cookies arriving twice a year.

“Fundraising monies are used for the program, supplies

China’s largest bank helping to finance Kitimat Clean refinery z Submission

NEWS RELEASE

Kitimat Clean Ltd. and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China’s largest bank, signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) last week.

The principal provisions of the MOUs state that the bank will be Chinese financial advisor to Kitimat Clean and cooperate in the financing of the proposed Kitimat refinery and associated pipelines and other elements.

Chinese companies will be involved in the engineering and construction of the refinery.

Up to 100 per cent of the output from

the refinery is planned to be sold to Asian markets, including China and India.

Majority control of all the proposed Canadian businesses will remain in Canada and there will be 6,000 construction jobs created for British Columbians over five years and 3,000 permanent jobs.

More MOUs between Kitimat Clean and Chinese companies are anticipated in the near future.

The project will include a state-of-theart world scale oil refinery at Kitimat, B.C. It may also include a pipeline between Edmonton and Kitimat, a marine terminal and a fleet of tankers for the refined fuels.

The total cost could amount to $25 billion. It will be the largest investment in B.C. in the history of the province.

It will also provide far more permanent jobs than any other investment has done and generate very large tax reve-

nues for the government.

Liu Yanping, deputy head of corporate banking department and Huang Jifa, deputy head of investment banking department, signing on behalf of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China stated “We are very pleased to be working toward a comprehensive agreement to finance a refinery in Canada, which is planning to export refined fuels to China and other Asian countries in the future.”

David Black, owner of Kitimat Clean, said, “A great advantage of the refinery is that it will prevent the shipment of bitumen in tankers off B.C.’s mid-coast. In addition it will reduce global greenhouse gas emissions because it will replace refineries elsewhere that are built to less stringent environmental standards.”

David Black is chairman and founder of Black Press, which owns the Grand Forks Gazette.

CHURCH In times of death, remember the beauty in life I recently returned from England, where I buried my father and took his funeral service, and on landing in Spokane, Wash., heard about the bombing at the Boston Marathon.

Then a few days later the explosions at the Texas fertilizer plant as well as the multiple deaths in Syria and Iraq.

I also, on returning home, went for a walk and noticed the multitude of little crocus blossoms appearing in my still dormant lawn and the carpet of wild buttercups in the meadows surrounding my home.

On April 15, 2013, at the age of 51, Angela Just Murray Bellerive went home to be with the Lord after a three-year battle with cancer.

She is survived by her husband, four daughters, two grandchildren, and the friends and family that will miss her daily. Angie married Darrell in 2008. He was with her from her diagnosis 18 months after they were married, until she took her last breath. Angie will best be remembered for her compassion and care for others. A service in her honor will be held on May 11, 2013 at 11 am at the Gospel Chapel in Grand Forks.

Fred J Soloveoff It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father and grandfather, Fred J Soloveoff. Fred passed away on Friday, April 19, 2013 at the Hardy View Lodge in Grand Forks, B.C. at the age of 89, just one month short of his 90th birthday.

Fred was born to John W and Annie (nee Planidin) Soloveoff on May 20th, 1923 in Kylemore, Saskatchewan. He was the second eldest son with an older brother Pete, and two younger sisters, Helen and Mable. He received his schooling in Buchanan, Saskatchewan where his family moved from Kylemore to manage the C.C.U.B. Community store, warehouse and lumber yard until the foreclosure in 1938. In 1942, the family left Kylemore, Saskatchewan for Grand Forks, B.C., where they settled on a small farm on Carson Road.

Fred, besides helping on the farm, spent the summers working in the orchards in the Okanagan Valley. In the winter, Fred participated with many other Doukhobor youth in the USCC Cultural groups, particularly in drama and choir. As a young man, he loved baseball and softball and played on teams, perhaps the best known was the Osoyoos Rangers. He also had a passion for reading and was well informed on many subjects.

In 1951, Fred took as his wife, Mabel Zoobkoff, and a short while after, they left for the Okanagan Valley, where they lived for several years tending the orchards.

Upon their return, they purchased some land in the Sion area, built their beautiful home overlooking the valley and raised their family, a daughter and two sons.

Fred loved to garden and grow fruit and spent many long hours working the land. Their home was next door to the Sirotskaya where he often shared his orcharding and gardening expertise. Over the years he was employed at the Co-Op store, with Lazeroff’s Construction Company and as a water bailiff for Sion water.

In the late ’70s, his wife Mabel became very ill and after a six year battle passed away in the month of October 1980. Fred continued to live on their family farm right up to his declining years.

About four years ago, due to his failing health, Fred moved into Hardy View Lodge, where he lived until his passing.

Fred was a devout vegetarian and a life-long member of the USCC. In his retirement, he enjoyed singing with the USCC Men’s Choir and will be greatly missed for his love, kindness, friendliness and captivating easy smile.

Besides his beloved wife Mabel, he was predeceased by his mother and father, his older brother Peter and his sisters, Mable and Helen, also a son-in-law, Kent Robbie.

He leaves to mourn his passing, his beloved children: daughter, Kathryn Robbie from Castlegar, B.C., sons John and Cathy from Langley, B.C. and Fred and Norma from Grand Forks, B.C.; six grandchildren, Katya, Rachel, Sarah, Jonathon, Kailey and Alisha; four great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and a very special friend to Fred and his entire family, Mary Podmoroff.

We wish our beloved father, grandfather, uncle and friend eternal peace in God’s heavenly kingdom. His loving spirit will forever live in our hearts until we meet again. May he rest in peace. A Funeral Service will be held Wednesday April 24, 2013 at 10 am at the USCC Community Centre, Grand Forks, B.C. with burial following at the Sion Cemetery. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Everett Baker of Grand Forks Funeral Home.

Death, grief, loss and pain mingled with the new, vibrant life of spring.

We recently celebrated Easter in the church, which has a similar theme – resurrection SIMON SHENSTONE and new life by way of the dark road of suffering and death.

Yesterday (April 23) was St. George’s Day in the church calendar.

George was a Roman soldier and secret Christian who was discovered by the authorities and martyred for his faith in the year 303 AD. St. George of course became the patron saint of England and inspired many in courage, faith

Norma Louisa Becker was born October 17th, 1923 and passed away peacefully on April 23, 2013 in Grand Forks BC at the age of 89. Norma is survived by her loving husband Alan, Son Gerry (Dawn), Daughter Norma (Doug), Grandchildren Tara (Walter) Gregory, Nicole (Chris), Bruce (Holly), Stuart (Danielle), Great-Grandchildren Kimberlyn, Gerald, Braxton, Teagan, Claran. Norma was a avid golfer, member of the Hospital Auxiliary, 30 year resident of Christina Lake and a long-time member of St. John United Church.

and fortitude.

Today (April 24) is a memorial day for the martyrs of the 20th Century, a day when we remember and pay tribute to the millions of people who died because of their faith in this last century.

This includes millions of Armenian Christians during the First World War, Russian Orthodox under Stalin, Protestants and Catholics who resisted Hitler and on the list goes. But behind the dark clouds of death and suffering shines the potential for new life, for resurrection, for eternal life.

At funerals I often ask if our consciousness is dependent upon our physicality. In other words, does our spirit, our being, our eternal life depend upon our bodies being “alive.”

The apostle Paul in his second letter to the church in Corinth urges us to focus on the things that cannot be seen, the things of the spirit, our inner consciousness (2 Cor. 4:8) and when this tent, our bodies, are gone, that which is eternal remains (2 Cor. 5:1).

So when death, grief and suffering seem to be all around, remember the crocuses and the buttercups, remember the simple beauty in the world and the divine, eternal life that dwells in each one of us.

– The Rev. Simon Shenstone is pastor of Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Grand Forks

Out of the rain

George G.

Swetlishoff George G. Swetlishoff was born on March 8, 1945 in Gilpin, BC. He passed away on April 3, 2013 in his home in Krestova, BC. George worked as a carpenter in construction for more than 35 years. He had a very strong work ethic and insisted on quality workmanship. He was very adventurous and loved all outdoor activities. He also loved country music, Elvis Presley and car racing. He had a keen interest in chasing trains and called himself a “railway nut”. His more recent pastimes included watching baseball and listening to CBC radio. George was a down-to-earth, kind-hearted, compassionate and generous man who tried to live his life according to his Doukhobor understanding. We will all miss his gentle presence and uncomplicated outlook on life.

He is survived by his only child, daughter, Stephanie, and her husband Barry Verigin of Grand Forks, BC; his brother Paul; his brother Mac and wife Linda, their daughters, Marcie and her partner, Weniamin (Benny) Lazarescu, all of Krestova, BC and Dasha and her partner, Milosh (Gary) Lakovic of Kelowna, BC. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Fred and Martha Swetlishoff and Peter and Ann Podmoroff; and his parents, his father, George in 1996 and his mother, Ann in 2002.

Funeral services, under the compassionate care of Bill Strilaeff and Sarah Greenwood (Castlegar Funeral Chapel) took place on April 9, 2013 at Krestova Community Hall, followed by interment at the Krestova Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations in George’s memory may be made to Krestova Community Hall, payable to Valerie Balchewski, Financial Secretary, 3325 Krestova Rd. Krestova, BC, V0G 1H2 or ISKRA, payable to USCC, Box 760 Grand Forks, BC, V0H 1H0.

The family of George Swetlishoff would like to thank all for their thoughtful messages of condolence.

Words cannot express how much all your love, kindness and support meant during this difficult time.

From the bottom of our hearts – thank you to all who attended George’s service to help us remember his life and say farewell. God Bless.

Renovation projects increase property value Perhaps you’d love to renovate your home but the expenditures involved are making you think twice.

But what if you were sure that the changes you are planning will help you to resell your home?

Some renovation projects can help you obtain a high enough sale price to recover your outlay.

Among these projects is the addition of a fireplace, a prized asset well worth the expense for many people.

New, good quality windows made of PVC, wood, or aluminum will improve the appearance and comfort of your home, all while reducing

heat loss. If your roof is showing signs of ageing, it will boost the value of your home to replace it.

If you have to decide which rooms to renovate, be aware that the kitchen and the bathroom get the most attention from potential buyers.

If the floor coverings in these rooms include carpeting or linoleum, you won’t be wasting your time if you replace them with wood or ceramic.

Installing ceramic tiles in the shower will help to give a bathroom a special cachet that can also boost resale value.

When carrying out renovations, keep all your bills so that you can show them to potential buyers.

These will demonstrate how recent your renovations are and prove that you have been taking care of your property.

During the renovations keep careful track of your expenses so that you can be sure to recoup them when you sell the home.

And remember that people are ready to pay more for a property that has been renovated with professionalism.

A window treatment for every room In the living room Your choice of window treatment should always be suited to the type of room it is intended for. In the living room, privacy is usually the most important criterion.

Horizontal blinds, Venetian blinds, or shutters provide effective protection from prying eyes, especially at night, and during the day their slats can be adjusted depending on how much light is desired.

If the living room windows don’t overlook a high traffic area, long drapes will embellish them while protecting the interior from the sun.

In the bedroom Essential criteria for the bedroom are privacy and the control of natural light.

An opaque shade is certainly a good choice, as it meets both these requirements.

Shades with original patterns are also opaque and are very popular for children’s bedrooms.

Horizontal blinds are an interesting choice, as light levels can be adjusted and they can also be combined with curtains for even more opacity.

Curtains are not ideal for controlling light and privacy, but combined with a shade or a blind, their esthetic appeal can still be taken advantage of.

It’s also possible to use lined curtains or drapes that are opaque enough to reduvce the intensity of natural light.

In the kitchen and bathroom A rigid, low-maintenance horizontal blind is practical for the kitchen.

Wood and faux wood are very popular.

Horizontal blinds are also a wise choice for the bathroom, although it is important that they be made of water resistant materials that will not lose their

shape, especially if the room has poor ventilation or if the blind is near the shower. Faux wood is a good choice.

Shades ensure privacy, while curtains are more decorative.

Feels like home to me Specialists in dream kitchens

To renovate a room as important as the kitchen, hire a specialist.

If you have loads of great ideas for your future kitchen but you have no idea where to start, why not talk to a kitchen designer.

The kitchen is the central area in many homes; it is where family gathers and where guests first sample the personal style of the homeowners.

Because of that importance, many consultants today are specially trained in kitchen design and conception. They have different skills ranging from design and ergonomics to cabinetmaking, carpentry, and installation.

Above all, kitchen designers are advisors.

They meet with clients and build a concept to suit the style of the family, taking into account budget, space, time, and personal needs. Most designers work with computers using virtual design techniques that allow clients to preview the results without spendSiding/Roofing Cabinets Finishing

Working with a kitchen designer is an opportunity to name your dreams for your home. Because these professionals design tailor-made cabinets adapted to your requirements, they will be able to personalize storage areas and maximize available space.

If you’re dreaming of a gas stove but think you don’t have enough room, or if you’d love to have culinary heat lamps, refrigerated drawers, or a professional restaurantstyle kitchen, a kitchen designer will help you adapt your dreams to your budget.

Kitchen designers are constantly on the lookout for new items in the world of interior design and can suggest ergonomic innovations that will turn the most reluctant of cooks into enthusiasts!

ings that are easy to maintain and water and humidity resistant.

The next step consists of installing the new fixtures and the taps. If you have opted for a custom ceramic shower that has to be built on-site, start with that job, which shouldn’t present any difficulty for an experienced handyman.

Next, install the bath, toilet, and pedestal sink. Proceed with the sink first if it is the type that is to be installed on a vanity or countertop.

If you have a built-in sink, fix it to the counter and then to the cabinet unit.

The next step is the installation of the cupboards, drawers, and countertop, if the latter isn’t part of a vanity. Choose materials that are easy to maintain and water resistant.

The final step is to install light fixtures, mirrors, towel racks, grab bars, and other accessories

The work of renovating a bathroom starts with the plumbing and electricity. Those steps should be entrusted to qualified professionals who are aware of current building regulations and can conform to standards.

Tell your plumber where you want the bathroom fixtures, taking into account the layout of the floor joists and the position of the drain. Explain to your electrician where you need electrical outlets and ventilation.

If you want a heated floor or a whirlpool bath, he or she will ensure that there are free circuits available on your breaker panel. If there are none, the panel will have to be upgraded.

Painting the walls and ceiling and replacing the floor covering are much easier when the bathroom has been stripped of its old fixtures.

Start with the paintwork and then proceed to the floor covering; be sure to choose cover-

one pound of carbon in the soil can hold up to 18 kilograms (40 pounds) of water – that’s over 140,000 litres of water in an acre.

Adding compost and mulch in the soil also releases plantavailable nutrients gradually over the growing season. With the help of microbes, it can even capture nitrogen from the air to increase soil fertility.

A third tool we are thinking about is collecting rain water. A recent talk by Vernon Permaculture designer Gordon Hiebert at the Grand Forks & Boundary Regional Agricultural Society AGM inspired us to start harvesting water from hard surfaces on the site.

Based on average rainfall data, if we collected rain water from just one side of our small toolshed, we could fill three, 55 gallon rain barrels between May and September.

Steps to dress up your backyard A backyard can look very bare when the snow disappears, but it is a great time to discover all sorts of new possibilities.

If your lot lies on varying natural ground elevations, you may be tempted to give a new look to your property by dressing it up with some steps.

The choice of materials to be used will depend on the style of your home.

You might choose brick, cut stone, river stone, marble, slate, concrete, or even wooden logs.

Once the materials are purchased, construction of the steps can begin. Don’t worry: this is a lot less technically challenging than building an inside staircase.

The first thing to do is to stretch a cord around the area to define where earth has to be removed to carve out rough steps.

By defining individual steps you will create a sort of grid.

Using a spade, shape the steps, thus creating the base for your structure. If you want to be precise about the rise and width of this outdoor stairway, consult your local hardware store experts for recommended measurements or visit the do-it-yourself aisle at your library or neighbourhood bookstore.

Before positioning your materials it is important to prepare the ground and strengthen the base of each step with packed sand or with a layer of poured concrete on a bed of crushed stone.

If you’re doing this work in the spring, be sure not to work at temperatures below 5 C or the concrete will not set properly.

An eye-catching pond Adding a pond is an ideal way of bestowing life and beauty to a landscape design. These days, preformed ponds are available which can be easily integrated into an existing garden. However, once it has been installed the pond must be embellished to lend it charm and beauty. And how it is embellished will determine the character of thepond: classic, bog, rustic, swamp, etc.

Traditional garden ponds are usually enhanced with a variety of well-known aquatic plants. When the edges of a pond stay fairly cool, plants suitable for acidic soils can be used to create a bog garden. Or why not play with contrasts by creating delicate- looking borders filled with heathers and backed by country-style plants such as mountain laurels or hardy rhododendrons.

Adding ferns, which adapt well to either town or country settings, will help to give an airy look to any garden. To establish a swamp garden use different types of wetland plants around the edges of the pond.

A water garden is made up of many different types of plants: some grow completely submerged; others mainly under the water, but sending leaves up to the surface; others keep only their roots below the waterline; a few pond plants do not need soil and instead float on the water surface. Invasive plants should be avoided on the pond’s edges as well as in the water.

Tips for selling your home Avoid crowd scenes: Potential buyers often feel like intruders when they enter a home filled with people. Rather than giving your house the attention it deserves, they’re likely to hurry through. Try to be anywhere but home during a showing.

Make the most of that first impression: A well maintained lawn, neatly trimmed shrubs and a clutter free porch welcomes a prospective buyer. So does a freshly painted or freshly cleaned front door.

Rake the leaves or shovel the snow off the walkways. The fewer obstacles between prospective buyers and the true appeal of your home, the better.

Watch your pets: Dogs and cats are great companions, but not when you’re home is being shown.

Pets have a talent for getting underfoot. So do everyone a favor, keep Kitty & Spot outside or at least out of the way.

Invest a few hours for future dividends: Here’s your chance to clean up in real estate. Clean up the living room, the bathroom, the kitchen. Consider some minor redecorating with fresh paint etc... Prospective buyers would rather see how great your home looks rather than hear how great it could look, “with a little work.”

Depersonalize and de-clutter: Less can be more. The less a Buyer has to look past, the more they see. Your treasures or clutter in general can distract a potential Buyer from the reason they are really there, which is to view your house and property not your personal belongings.

Make kitchens and bathrooms sparkle: Kitchens and Bathrooms sell homes, so let them shine.

Take the pictures off the fridge, keep the counters cleared. Keep Grandma’s canister set, toasters, blenders and other counter-top appliances in the cabinet for now. Check and repair damaged or unsightly caulking in the tubs and showers. For added allure, display your best towels, mats and shower curtains.

Check faucets and bulbs: Dripping water rattles the nerves, discolors sinks and suggest faulty or worn-out plumbing.

Burned out bulbs leave prospective buyers in the dark. Don’t let little problems detract from what’s right with your home.

Make room for space: The better organized a closet, the larger it appears.

Now’s the time to box up those unwanted clothes and donate them to charity.

Remember, potential buyers are looking for D.G. (Dave) Marshall, Cra, rI

more than just comfortable living space. They are looking for storage space, too! Make sure your attic and basement are clean and free of unnecessary items.

Open up in the daytime: Let the sun shine in!

Pull back your curtains and drapes so prospective buyers can see how bright and cheery your home is.

Lighten up at night: Turn on the excitement by turning on all your lights – both inside and outside – when showing your home in the evening. Lights add color and warmth, and make prospective buyers feel welcome.

Don’t shut out a sale: If cabinet or closet doors stick in your home, you can be sure they will stick out in a prospective buyers mind.

Don’t try to explain away sticky situations when you can easily plane them away.

A little effort on your part can smooth the way toward a smooth closing.

Help us help you: Let your realtor know about any special features your home has. If you have any information or documents that would be helpful, let your realtor know.

Try and be flexible when showings are scheduled, buyers may be driving from out town and might get delayed or only be in town for a short period of time.

Budgeting for renos

How do I calculate how much my renovation project will cost?

Now there’s a question that requires a great deal of thought!

Obviously there are many different answers to this question, depending on what type of project you have in mind and the quality of materials you can budget for.

Do you want to demolish everything and start from scratch? Replace the plumbing and the electricity?

Or simply change the furniture and the appliances to freshen up some rooms and give them a more up-to-date look?

Your budget will also depend on whether you plan to hire a professional to do the work or if you do it yourself – sometimes both options are possible.

Hiring manpower will increase the cost, but using a pro can prevent months of lost time and space at home.

If you decide to hire someone, ask for recommendations from family, friends and work colleagues.

That is the best way to find a trustworthy person who can do quality work at a reasonable price. You can also obtain invaluable advice from specialists in hardware or renovation stores.

The quality and quantity of materials chosen will also have a huge impact on the cost of the project. If money is no object, you could

renovate everything in one go.

If your budget is more modest, you could go more slowly, at your own pace, one room at a time.

Be sure to get all the information you need to make an enlightened decision. Write everything down and compare the different options that have been suggested.

Avoid spur of the moment decisions that you could end up regretting later on, and be especially careful about going over budget.

The important thing to remember is to take the time to make rational choices, while keeping in mind your tastes and budget.

If you’re doing the work yourself, make sure your tool kit is fitted out properly: putting in new fixtures requires some tools you might not have, and removing ceramic tiles and putting in new ones is not an easy job.

You’ll also have to take care to waterproof everything in order to avoid the problem of leaks.

If you decide to entrust this work to a contractor, familiarize yourself with the basics of bathroom renovation before meeting with him or her. That way you will know what they are talking about and their budget estimate makes sense.

Find out their hourly rate, availability to finish the job on a schedule, the materials they will require, their previous experience, and any other questions that can help you choose a reliable contractor.

Prepare the bathroom before the work starts.

To avoid damage to countertops, toilet, and cabinets protect them with old, thick towels or cushions or protective coverings.

To cut contractor costs, remove the shower’s existing tiling yourself and scrape away all the grouting so that the surface is smooth.

Old pipes and shower fixtures can be recycled rather than put in the garbage.

Check the drainage and the infrastructure before

waterproofing the walls and floor to prevent leakage. Cover exposed partition walls with waterproof panels.

Choose tiling that blends with the colour and style of the existing décor. Many different elements should be considered when selecting a new showerhead: its adjustability (pivoting, tilting, removability); water flow; type of jets (pulsating or therapeutic massage); and pressure adjustment.

Take your time and choose a shower door that fits with your budget and décor (plastic, transparent, frosted glass, mirror) and the way it opens

Talking about GMOs Gazette Staff

The topics of genetically modified organisms (GMO) and genetically modified foods are on the minds of many people these days.

GMOs are made when genes from one species are added to another, often to add a coveted trait.

There is research to suggest that GMOs and modified food have had a negative effect on people.

“Around GMO’s, the Grand Forks and Boundary Region Agricultural Society (GFBRAS) strongly supports the stand taken

by CBAN (Canadian Biotechnology Action Network) that is working tirelessly to inform us of the needs and threats to our food sovereignty and our democratic relationship to food,” explains GFBRAS vice-president Sheila Dobie. “For all of us in the Grand Forks valley, this issue is paramount as issues of GMO alfalfa and GMO ‘non- browning apple’ persist. As a community we can insist on being fully aware of these issues and ensure that they do not threaten our food base or our human right to grow quality food.”

Dobie says the genetically modified (GM) alfalfa issue is described

Unfairly neglected shrub It’s enough to talk to professional landscapers to realize that more and more people are searching for plants that are easy to care for.

Work and family obligations have a lot to do with this new reality.

It is also surprising to realize that boxwood, so popular in European gardens, is rather neglected on this side of the Atlantic.

Any informed gardener will tell you that boxwood is a must when in search of a plant able to look after itself; that is to say a plant, which will grow easily and need little care.

Contrary to popular belief, boxwood is also a hardy plant, which can withstand extremely cold temperatures.

Sometimes young shoots can burn during spring freezes but this has no lasting consequences for the plant, which soon replaces damaged leaves with new growth.

This plant, a favourite in formal landscape design, is very accommodating as far as upkeep is concerned. All that it needs is a good fertilizer in the spring and a pruning twice a year, in the spring and again in September.

It will, however, demand one thing from the gardener and that is abundant watering. Always avoid stagnant water though, especially if this shrub is in a container.

To put all the chances on your side, apply a layer of bark mulch around the base of the plant. This will help to maintain good moisture levels, especially during the heat of the summer

on the CBAN website.

“Because alfalfa is a perennial plant that is pollinated by bees, genetically modified alfalfa will inevitably cross-pollinate with non-genetically modified and organic alfalfa, threatening the livelihoods of family farmers across Canada. Prairie farmers have already rejected GM alfalfa for these reasons so now the industry is trying to introduce GM alfalfa in Eastern Canada,” reads a section of the website.

The Canadian Seed Trade Association is clear that the introduction of GM alfalfa will contaminate non-GM alfalfa and threaten the livelihoods of farmers across the country. GM alfalfa is a Round-Up Ready GM product, which means that it can withstand the application of the herbicide Round-Up without itself being affected.

The environmental risks of GM products are extensive and include uncontrolled genetic pollution, increased use of pesticides and herbicides, herbicide tolerant weeds, and the expansion of unsustainable farming scales and practices.

Please see the CBAN website for more information.
