The Winnipeg Hotel was torn down on Monday (May 27).

Construction on the hotel began in 1900 with the hotel officially opening on Jan. 4, 1901. The hotel survived fires in 1908, 1911 and most recently in March of 2012, where it sustained smoke damage on the interior and minor damage on the exterior.

A retail liquor store will be built on the site were the Winnipeg Hotel stood.

Riverside residents don’t want Whispers/BETHS in backyard

Some residents living in the vicinity of the newly-approved Multi-Agency Accommodation Project (MAPP) at 7212 Riverside Drive are outraged.

“We are residents in this area and we don’t want to see a soup kitchen and these people hanging around,” said Bernie Draper.

Now that city council has approved an agreement with Whispers of Hope, Habitat for Humanity and the Boundary Emergency and Transitional Housing Society (BETHS), the old veterinary building and the neighbouring lot will be the new home of an extreme weather shelter, a soup kitchen, a thrift store, three transitional housing units and a retail building goods store (Re-Store).

Draper is concerned that the congregation of some of the non-profit societies is going to attract

criminals, drug users and groups of people hanging around and causing a disturbance.

“This (congregation of BETHS and Whispers of Hope) is going to attract a lot more people than Whispers of Hope over (there) every did,” he said. “They are drug addicts, most of them.”

Jake Raven, president of the Whispers of Hope board, agrees that there are a few rough looking characters that come in and out of the facility but the majority of the people really need the help that Whispers provides.

“There are some wonderful people coming in there. Senior citizens come in, (disabled people) come in there, sometimes we have just transients come in there and as a matter of fact, we have a letter on file from the (Grand Forks) RCMP that they are quite happy that we (offer our services) because they feel that it’s bringing the crime rate down,” said Raven.

Another concerned resident, Bill Pepin, asked why MAPP had to be congregated in a residen-

tial and semi-commercial area and suggested that it should be moved to an industrial area.

“Move it out of the residential area,” he said.

“There are good people that need help, but there are others that take advantage of the situation and they make a disturbance. They don’t care about the residential area that they are (in and) it makes a security problem for the residential people.”

Jim Harrison, chair of the board of BETHS, said there was no availability of any place in an industrial area and secondly, the services that are being offered need to be in relative proximity to where those people are.

“If you are suggesting that they get bused out to an area out of sight, out of mind kind of thing, I think you have to realize that this is part of our society that we are talking about here,” said Harrison.

Giving it a go Last Saturday, Telus team members and retirees here in Grand Forks, and across Canada, took part in the eighth annual Telus Day of Giving. Teams volunteered at local activities of their choice to make positive, heartfelt and lasting connections within the community on this day. In Grand Forks, local team members gathered non-perishable food for the past couple of weeks. The team had a fantastic time at the Boundary Community Food Bank and donated over 260 kilograms (575 lbs) of food. The team was aided by the Dr. Gregory Bruce dental office, Granby River Dental and Perley Elementary School and the Boundary Youth Soccer Association – this effort would not have been as successful without them.

Accident closes Highway 3

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

A dump truck towing a trailer, carrying a large excavator, flipped onto its side Monday morning shortly before 7 a.m., five kilometres east of Christina Lake on Highway 3.

The dump truck stayed on all fours; however, the trailer jack-knifed and rolled as the dump truck failed to navigate the highway.

“The excavator didn’t come loose from the trailer ... however, laying on its side, (the trailer and excavator) block(ed) one lane of traffic,” said Grand Forks RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison.

“We strongly believe that speed and perhaps a mechanical condition might be involved as a cause of the accident,” he said. “The tractor trailer was owned and operated by Simm Excavating out of Castlegar.”

Emcon Services attended the scene to direct single alternating traffic around the accident.

The rollover was cleared and both lanes of traffic were opened up along Highway 3 at approximately 11 a.m.

The RCMP’s investigation was assisted by the Ministry of Transportations Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement. No other vehicles were involved in the accident and the driver was unharmed.

z POLICE REPORT

Muscle-shirted male accused of ripping off car battery SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

On May 21, Grand Forks RMCP received a report that a grey-haired male, wearing a muscle shirt and riding a green bike, stole a car battery.

Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison said the theft happened at a residence on 68th Avenue.

“The complainant said he had the battery sitting on his front steps and he saw a male on a bike take off with it,” said Harrison. “We do have suspects in the matter and we are further investigating.”

B&E at International Reload Systems An employee of International Reload Systems at Christina Lake arrived at work on May 21 to find a utility trailer parked at the front gate.

The suspects inside the compound appeared to be spooked and left in a hurry, according to RCMP reports.

“It appeared that several buildings at the reload centre had been entered and a crowbar was left at the scene,” said Harrison, although nothing had been stolen.

“Evidence would indicate that a quad was used by the suspects and they were attempting to get the utility trailer over the bank and onto

News tips

the property,” said the staff sergeant.

The RCMP discovered that the utility trailer, which had been left at the front gate, had been stolen back in 2012 from Salmo, B.C. and it has been returned to its rightful owner.

Diesel thief unsuccessful A thief attempted to steal diesel from both the Petro Canada and Chevron card lock stations on Donaldson Drive on May 22.

“It appeared that somebody tried to break into the card lock for the diesel pump and the front panel had been removed. Nothing was taken but (the pumps were) certainly tampered with, probably in an effort to access diesel fuel,” said Harrison.

Both attempts were unsuccessful, added the staff sergeant.

Copper wire stolen A 50-amp wire that was hooked up to a hot tub was stolen on May 20 from a home on Riverside Drive.

Harrison explained that it’s a copper wire theft and in most cases the thief’s intent is to burn off the insulation and sell the copper.

If anyone has any information regarding the theft, the Grand Forks RCMP welcomes any additional information. Call 250-442-

Some residents of Riverside Drive are concerned about the Multi-Agency Accommodation Project at the old vet building at 7212 Riverside Drive.

Riverside residents express concern about MAPP Continued from page 1

Harrison, also a staff sergeant with the Grand Forks RCMP, added that in the two-and-a-half seasons that BETHS operated out of the Christian Centre behind Overwaitea Foods, there was never a single complaint from neighbouring residents.

“We never had a single incident where neighbours were upset, there were no reported disturbances or anything of that nature that occurred in operating the extreme weather shelter,” he said.

Mayor Brian Taylor said that Sugimoto Park, which is right beside 7212 Riverside Drive, has always been a spot where people congregate and sleep overnight.

“And the draw of the recycling bins (across the street) has always been there as well, which draws a group of people over who dumpster dive there,” said Taylor.

“The (residents’) concerns are that this is going to get worse and in my mind it’s going to get way better. Once we inhabit that corner and we have activity going on there, that clearly you are going to have a lot more traffic and a lot more community eyes and ears on that corner than they have had before, so it won’t be a place I think where (residents) are going to see that kind of vagrancy going on.”

Draper asked how the city could account for the money being spent, as he referenced the fact that the building was bought by the city.

The mayor said that the groups and the city are working on a lease agreement and if the Re-Store were to turn a profit then a repayment formula is being discussed where some of that profit would come back to the taxpayers of Grand Forks through the city.

“If these organizations, that have been asking the city for money every year, are able to be more self sufficient, then it is less of a burden on the taxpayer,” said Taylor.

Rick Friesen, executive director of the Habitat for Humanity Boundary Society, expected that there would be some public concerns and in order to address those fears, he said there is a need to hold an information session.

“As soon as we have a lease and occupy the premises, we would like to invite people in and describe what it is we are going to do,” he said.

“In the interest of having a successful project we need to be able to have people contact us directly with their concerns.”

People with concerns can call Habitat for Humanity Boundary at 250-442-2722 ext. 255 or email hfhboundary@hughes.net.

z Our View

Give MAPP a chance

Some Grand Forks residents have expressed concern about the Multi-Agency Accommodation Project (MAPP) project that will be setting up shop at the old veterinary building at 7212 Riverside Drive.

While they don’t seem so concerned about Habitat for Humanity Boundary setting up an office and a retail building material store, they seem concerned about the Boundary Emergency Transitional Housing Society’s (BETHS) extreme weather shelter and the Whispers of Hope thrift store and soup kitchen and are taking a Not In My Backyard (NIMBY) stance.

Some have said that it could attract criminals and drug users and the like to their area.

From the residents’ point of view, it’s perfectly understandable but it is a little premature to assume that the neighbourhood will go downhill in a hurry.

While there is evidence of similar situations attracting said criminals and drug users in places like Vancouver, there is evidence to suggest that won’t happen here.

BETHS has operated out of the Grand Forks Christian Centre for the past few years and according to local police, there have been no incidents or complaints from nearby residents. No disturbances, or anything of that nature, say RCMP. There have been some incidents that have occurred at the current Whispers of Hope location on Central Avenue but nothing of the major variety, according to police.

Local RCMP count only 12 incidents for the last six-plus years at Whispers’ current location and the majority were minor complaints (verbal disagreements) with nothing major. No assaults or anything of the like.

There was an instance of someone smoking marijuana but it’s a certainty that Central Avenue isn’t the only place in Grand Forks where that happens. In fact, it would be safe to wager money that it isn’t the only place that happens.

That averages out to two minor incidents at Whispers of Hope, which is low in the grand scheme of things.

Besides, it isn’t good to paint all the people who use Whispers of Hope with the same brush. Officials say that senior citizens and the disabled are amongst the clientele.

While Habitat for Humanity Boundary hasn’t said so, the building goods store, or Re-Store, might be provide employment opportunities for some of the so-called transient people as well.

No one should live in fear and no one should have to see their neighbourhood become inundated with drug dealers and criminals but maybe people should give the new MAPP project a chance first.

Weekly online poll

from www.grandforksgazette.ca May 20 to 26 is Drinking Water Week in B.C. Are you concerned about local drinking water quality?

YES 64%

NO 36%

Last week was a little hectic for the staff of the Grand Forks Gazette.

On top of putting out the May 22 issue and all the little and big things that come along with it, at the back of everyone’s mind was the impending move into the new or old office on Second Street (depending on your point of view).

Immediately after the issue went to press, and I mean a split second after, I began the process of packing.

I had been meaning to start a month ago but every time I wanted to start, something came up, most notable amongst them, a little thing called the provincial election.

But something became apparent to me as I sorted through my desk drawers, filing cabinets and the like. I, and my prede-

cessors, had accumulated way too much junk.

Scraps of paper with old phone messages, long since returned. Photos, cards, notes and information packages from the beginning of the century, all collecting dust and taking up space. I don’t consider myself a hoarder by any means and in fact, I was able to get around my office for the last three years without having to step over piles of garbage and I was never at risk of being incapacitated by an avalanche of stacked files falling on me.

Publisher: Chuck Bennett

But while I cleaned my old office many times over the few years I was at the Riverside Drive building, I still made numerous trips to the garbage and recycle bins to dispose of unwanted material last week.

Luckily, I was ready to go last Thursday morning, with all my work-related items in four or five boxes and my desk drawers and credenza completely empty.

It took me only a few hours to get everything unpacked and up and running at the Second Street office as well.

Although I don’t have an office any more – but rather a corner, cubicle area – from which to work, everything is neat and tidy for the moment.

We’ll see if that remains a year from now, or even a month, but I’m certain things will pile up again.

BCTS didn’t z ELECTION have Lynch Four more Creek open years house Editor: Re: BCTS aware of local concerns (story, May 22 issue) I would like to correct a misleading statement made by someone quoted in last week’s Gazette in the article “BCTS aware of local concerns.”

While it is true that BCTS (BC Timber Sales) did arrange a public open house at Brown Creek Hall in May of 2012, it should be noted that this meeting was not in regard to logging in Lynch Creek North.

That open house was in regard to an earlier operating plan (Operating Plan 7) that did not include any cut blocks in Lynch Creek North.

In fact, members of the public attending the meeting remember being told by BCTS that there were no plans to log Lynch Creek North.

That changed in September of this year when cut blocks were flagged in Lynch Creek North as part of BCTS Operating Plan 8.

Since that time, the Friends and Residents of the North Fork have repeatedly asked BCTS to hold a public open house to inform members of the public about their current plans to do roadwork and logging in Lynch Creek North.

To date, no public meeting

Editor: The election is over, the results are in.

What have we learned? We know now that fear, lies and half-truths are effective campaign tools. This was a good election for big business; keep in mind 80 per cent of Liberal donations come from big business. Ms. (Christy) Clark spent time in Alberta canvassing big oil companies for donations and they were happy to give.

Money buys favour, money buys influence, to believe otherwise is naïve.

What lies ahead? Four years of Liberal government.

Four more years of corruption? Pipelines criss-crossing the province, more tanker traffic, putting our coastal communities and wildlife at risk. Four more years of taxpayer-funded government propaganda? Four more years of deficit budgets?

z ELECTION

Popoff criticized, PM not Editor: You will recall Mischa

z OPINION Popoff was “fired” as a candidate by the BC Conservative Party in Boundary-Similkameen in the past provincial election in part because he said the Missing Women Inquiry was a waste of time and money.

The comment was said to be disrespectful and insensitive.

On May 16, while in New York City, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said exactly the same thing.

During a question-andanswer session hosted by the Council for Foreign Relations, Harper was asked by a member of Human Rights Watch about the prospects of a federal inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women.

“I remain very skeptical of commissions of inquiry generally.

My experience has been they almost always run way over time, way over budget, and often the recommendations prove to be of limited utility,” he replied.

Of course, he’s right.

So was Popoff.

Maybe caving in to political correctness wasn’t the smart move for the BC Conservatives and maybe, just maybe, some in the media should have come to their own conclusions instead of parroting someone else’s.

No one took any time to look at the issue seriously. No one was prepared to debate the facts. No one except Mischa Popoff. And now no one will bring these issues up in the provincial legislature.

The public deserves better reporting and better analysis than it got this time.

All that goes into an Official Community Plan Last Wednesday evening (May 22), the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) held an information gathering session for the review of the RDKB ROLY RUSSELL Area D Official Community Plan (OCP).

At the meeting, one woman asked me how we make decisions about what to put in the plan. “Is there a vote? Do we tally the frequency of different comments for or against certain policies and choose the most popular?”

Given the relevance of the question to anyone interested in our OCP review, I’ll explore the question more here: how do we make these decisions?

First, what’s an OCP? Think of it as a strategic plan for the area; a plan that sets out a sense of where we (the community) want the community to go. What do we want the future to look like here?

Can we identify what we would like to see as an ideal (while still realistic) social, economic, and environmental future for the area?

Once the vision is set, we develop policy to help create and secure this vision.

Given the tools available to the regional district, land use and development are two key operational aspects of that future that are regulated by policies enshrined in the OCP. Beyond this, the OCP provides guidance more broadly to other policy development and decision-making by the RDKB board.

Lastly, the OCP will also include maps to document spatial components, such as environmentally sensitive areas, or recreation trails So, we just need to get the input from the people and then draft the appropriate vision statements and policy, right?

No, it’s not that simple.

What people do we need to hear from? First off, there are the 3,100 residents of Area D – we certainly want to hear from them and then, the people that live nearby that might have some stake in the future of the area. And the businesses that operate in the area and the people that recreate in the area and so on.

Further, once we can clarify the vision that all these people carry, then what about the policies to support the vision? How do we go about weighing the costs and benefits of certain decisions against the others? This is another complicated step that requires plenty of public input and may consume a great deal of time.

Thus, our challenge is to get as much input as possible from those people who have a stake in the area, and then to distill out the strategies (goals, policies, etc.) that best provide and protect the future vision and help make our area be as vibrant and enticing as possible.

To complete this process properly is clearly no simple task.

We will be repeatedly bringing different stages of the process to the community, from information gathering through to comments of draft plans. Please, one way or another, weigh in and tell us what you want. You are welcome to contact myself (rrussell@rdkb.com) or the OCP steering committee with questions.

What kind of vision might be captured in this rendition of the plan? The early OCPs for our area were focused on increasing our population and housing. Then OCPs seemed aimed at protecting agricultural land. Thus far through our surveys and in conversations at the open-house review, we are hearing not just support for protection of agriculture land but for facilitation of production on those agricultural lands.

People want to get our farms growing! They want to facilitate family farm succession, to reduce weed problems, to strengthen our local food systems and to increase food security. And that’s just the agricultural part of the puzzle!

Area D OCP up for review Public workshop held for residents of RDKB Area D last Thursday

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

Planners from the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) held a public workshop with residents of Area D to review the official community plan (OCP), which is in the process of being revised.

The current OCP is a bylaw that was first adopted in 1999.

“When a plan is created, we have to look at the environmental, social and economic aspects of the area,” said Donna Dean, an RDKB planner.

Dean told residents present at the workshop at the USCC Hall last Thursday that an OCP has to be developed with the community’s input.

“It’s not the planners telling you what to do with your land, we have to hear from you. It’s very important for the process,” she said.

The current OCP is up for review because there have been a number of changes in legislation and the Local Government Act suggests that OCPs be reviewed every five years.

She added that there have been some amendments to the current OCP, including housing for farm labour, certain minimum parcel sizes and zoning, a parks function was established as well

as a heritage service.

Members of the steering committee, who review the official community plan, toured a number of sites and addressed a lot of issues as part of the first stage of the OCP review, said Dean.

A survey was also sent out to 1,684 residents as a means to get some initial community feedback.

“The next step will be drafting the plan,” said Dean. “I will be working with the steering committee and we will go through all the different components of the plan ... based on the information and feedback that we have heard from the public.”

Dean said Area D residents came to the workshop with a lot of ideas and feedback.

Some of the key points raised include: • The need to turn more Agriculture Land Reserve land into agricultural production and to keep parcel sizes large enough so farms can be viable.

• The public values local sites of historic significance and wants them to be recognized, but they don’t necessarily want to provide financial support.

• There is a significant amount of local knowledge about outdoor recreational use that the OCP

steering committee needs to draw from when drafting recreational use objectives and policies.

• The need to review current OCP policies regarding where commercial kennels may be located.

Commercial kennel operators want to see relaxation of the current policy of permitting kennels only on a case-by-case basis.

• That the regional district be given more opportunity to comment on resource extraction activities on Crown land.

• There is a strong commitment to protecting the natural environment because the health of our community and economy is dependent on it.

The regional district planner said there was a large diversity of comments that need to be taken into consideration.

“I’m going to be meeting with the steering committee in a couple of weeks and we will be talking about it and then within the next month, we will have a summary together and it will be posted on our website,” she said.

Dean expects that a finalized draft of the OCP will take upwards of one year to complete.

FortisBC is bringing its famous Rossland Energy Diet to Grand Forks and the Boundary. The “diet” was created to try and reduce residents’ energy consumption.

The Rossland project was wildly successful, according to Patricia Dehnel of FortisBC, as 22 per cent of residents participated and of those, 80 per cent did some form of energy upgrades to their homes.

“What was really impressive is that $1.6 million was spent in the local economy over that winter in purchasing some of the energy efficient upgrades, said Dehnel.

Fortis will be launching the program on June 18 with an outreach event in Grand Forks.

Dehnel explained that registering costs $60 and comes with a certified energy adviser assessing one’s home.

Rebates upwards of $6,000 are included in the program.

“There will also be an information session for the trades in Grand Forks on (June 5) and that is to invite the trades people to breakfast to talk about the program because of course they will be busy,” she said.

Nicole Bogdanovic, communications specialist with FortisBC, said that the energy diet is of great benefit to the local economy.

“When people make upgrades to their house, that helps everybody, not only the homeowner but it helps the local economy especially if they are using local contractors,” she said.

Bogdanovic said that Grand Forks city council has backed the program and have offered to kick in an additional $25 to the first 100 participants of the Kootenay Energy Diet.

Participants will have until Dec. 31 to complete their upgrades in order to receive any of the rebates.

The communications specialist said that if a resident were to improve their insulation and air sealing, windows and doors, that they could see energy savings from 20 to 50 per cent.

The energy diet is available for any electricity consumer.

More information is available online at www.fortisbc.com/energydiet.

Trade workers interested in the information session at Omega on June 5 need to pre-register at energydiet@fortisbc.com.

Airport runway considered too short

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

The Grand Forks Airport’s runway is 1,314 metres (4,311 feet) long and for most commercial jets, that’s not long enough to take off.

Local resident Geoff Danish travels down south for vacation every year and drives to Kelowna or Castlegar to catch a flight, which incurs a lot of extra costs when he calculates parking and overnight accommodations.

“There has been a lot of hype over the years that we are going to use this (Grand Forks) airport as an alternative to Castlegar,” he said in an interview with the Gazette.

Danish decided to phone Blackcomb Aviation, a Richmond company that provides jet charter services, to see how much it would cost to bring in a commercial jet.

“They got back to me and told me that they could not provide me a quote because the runway in Grand Forks is too short for (its Citation Bravo, seven passenger jet) to take off,” he said.

According to Transport Canada, commercial jets can only calculate 60 per cent of a runway’s length as usable runway; however, that rule does not apply

to private planes.

“For instance, at a given altitude with the weight of the aircraft and temperature on a particular day we need x amount of runway to take off,” said Steven Wright, vice-president of Blackcomb Aviation. “On average we need over 3,000 feet (914 metres) ... typically we are going into runways that are 5,000 feet-plus (1,524 metres) as a general rule of thumb.”

Being limited to 60 per cent of Grand Forks’ 1,314 metre-long (4311 feet) runway shortens the usable runway to 788 metres (2587 feet) long.

London Air Services is another charter airline company based out of Richmond that told the Gazette that it wouldn’t be allowed to fly into Grand Forks either with its Learjet 45, which is an eight-passenger jet.

“Our minimum runway length is 5,000 feet (1,524 metres),” said, Darryl Shaw, manger of client services with London Air Services. “There are quite a few runways throughout B.C. that we can’t fly into. Unless you (made) the runway a little longer, then we wouldn’t come into Grand Forks.”

Wayne Kopan, previous manager of the Grand Forks Airport, said there have been changes in runway limitations due

to the number of runoffs and crashes over the years.

“They have to have a certain safety factor and (the runway) may not be long enough ... it just depends on the type of jet and what size it is,” he said.

Kopan explained that numerous commercial jets have come into the airport over the years.

“We had everything up to 737s coming in, but I knew at that time that those (planes) were pushing the boundaries and that was way back in the ‘70s,” he said.

Kopan added that no commercial jets are currently flying in and out of Grand Forks because the demand isn’t high enough.

He added that if a commercial jet were to look at flying into the airport, then it would look at the requirements and what needs to be done.

The current manager of the airport, Hall Wright, said that the commercial planes don’t have to be jets.

“We know that Dash 8s could come in here as well,” he said, which is a turbo prop airplane.

Wright said that turbo prop planes are not held to the 60 per cent rule.

“It’s a jet thing,” he said.

City gives three readings to sewer, water bylaws

Gazette Editor

Grand Forks city council gave three readings to a bylaw (Bylaw 1952) that would amend sewer regulations and rates at its May 21 regular meeting.

The 2013 to 2017 five-year plan reflects a $2 per month flat rate increase in user fee collection for sewer rates and Bylaw 1952 reflects this as well.

Council gave the first three readings with all councillors voting in favour.

Council also gave three readings to Bylaw 1953, which would amend the water regulation and rates bylaw.

As with sewer rates, the latest five-year plan (2013 to 2017) reflects a $2 per month flat rate increase in user fee collection for water rates.

There was also a wording change to one of the sections.

According to the city, part of Section 26 was worded “For any water service disconnected from the city system, Section 17 of this bylaw shall apply. Should the property owner elect to have water service to a building turned on or off, as described in Section 18 of this bylaw, water basic fees and user rates will continue to be charged.”

It was changed to: “Should the property owner elect to

have water service to a building turned on or off, as described in Section 18 of this bylaw, water customer charge and fixed capital fees will continue to be charged.”

The city said the change was made to reflect the original intent of the original bylaw.

And as with Bylaw 1952, council approved all three readings of Bylaw 1953, with none of the councillors present voicing dissent.

Both will have to pass final reading before taking effect.

Flat tax and electrical local area service Final reading was given to Bylaw 1955, which allows for a flat tax and the direct establishment of a northwest 79th Avenue electrical local area service.

Ad in travel guide Council received a presentation from Vicom Design Inc., which asked council to consider purchasing advertising in the 2014 Kettle Valley Express Adventure Travel Guide.

We will need to develop partnerships, training and extension to improve community capacity during implementation.

These ingredients – challenges, mandate, support, understanding and capacity – are catalysts to each other.

Like lemon juice and baking soda, they work best when mixed in at the right time during planning. But they can also be like garnishes that are added later, with a flourish, to make the plan more savoury or digestible during implementation.

Taking action on watershed issues in isolation and without developing support, understanding and capacity will not help us develop lasting, positive changes in the watershed.

Christina Lake Health-Care Auxiliary hosting Family Health Fair this Saturday

The Christina Lake Health-Care Auxiliary is organizing a Family Health Fair on Saturday, June 1 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the community INTERIOR hall at Christina Lake.

HEALTH Everyone is welcome to attend the day-long affair, which will feature over 20 booths bringing information about various health issues, blood pressure screening, handling emergencies, vision and hearing changes, yoga, diabetes, kidney disease, dental hygiene and much more.

Throughout the day there will also be special presentations: 10:30 a.m. – Dr. Lewis: Prostate health and colon cancer screening

z Local Submission

11:15 a.m. – Sally Caisley, MEd: Osteoporosis Noon – Molly Skerritt and Anne Marie Jourdin: Accessing community services 12:45 p.m. – Dr. Kalia, Nelson: Medical marijuana research and practice 2 p.m. – Sally Caisley: Improving your sleep Children will love the Healthy Snacks for Kids booth and big fire truck. There will be door prizes and refreshments.

Admission is free, but the auxiliary welcomes any donations to support its volunteer efforts to improve health care for residents of the area.

Health-care auxiliaries throughout the region support local health facilities by volunteering, providing health and comfort items for patients and raising funds for equipment that may take years to purchase through the system, especially in small communities. All this and no administration fees. Their contributions are largely quiet but have a big impact on us all.

z EDUCATION

Rezansoff plays top role with BCSTA

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

Now that Teresa Rezansoff has adjusted into her position as president of the British Columbia School Trustees Association (BCSTA), she is keenly optimistic of the work ahead.

“I’m anticipating the good work that (BCSTA) will be able to do on behalf of our member boards and I’m going to be making sure that I get out there and familiarize myself with all of the issues that are out there,” said Rezansoff.

“There are things that are very individual to different school districts across the province and then there are things that are of common concern and I want to make sure that, as I am speaking on behalf of the organization, that I have a really good grasp of what those issues are.”

BCSTA is an advocacy organization that serves and supports B.C.’s 60 boards of education in their work of improving student achievement.

Rezansoff said one of the issues on the table right now is to re-establish a strong working relationship with the newly-elected Liberal 2.833 xparty.

“We are treating this as a new government and we are taking this opportunity to renew and redefine that co-governance relationship, which is critical to the governing of public education,” she said.

Teresa Rezansoff The board of directors of BCSTA is made up of seven trustees and previous to Rezansoff’s new title, she served

as vice-president of the organization for two years.

She told the Gazette that her role with BCSTA will be very demanding; however, her first priority is still SD51.

“I have a priority that my work here in this school district is protected and that is a top priority for me because those are my roots and that is the base for everything that I do.”

She added that her provincial role helps to strengthen the work that she does as a local trustee.

“I’m able to bring a really wide perspective and a knowledge base that can be very informative for us in our own school district.”

Looking at districts across B.C. she has seen that many of the local issues are prevalent province wide.

“There are certainly issues that our school district has as a small rural district that are completely common to other small rural districts and issues that we all hold in common with other school districts whether big, small, urban or rural.”

Rezansoff said she has a great staff at BCSTA to support her in her new role.

❚ COMPETITION

Local baker enters province-wide contest

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

Max Nicholson, your not so common 16-yearold baker with a fledgling cake decoration business, is vying for province-wide recognition of his trade.

Together with his videographer friend Nate Klassen, Nicholson created a two-minute video for Discover Trades BC, Show Us Your Skills Video Contest.

“The purpose (of the contest) is to promote trades as a career option in B.C.,” said Nicholson.

The video contest was open to any public and independent school students across the province and as of submission deadline, May 14, 32 videos across the province were submitted.

If he were to win top prize, $2,000 would go toward his school’s (Grand Forks Secondary School) trades program and Nicholson would win a MacBook Pro laptop.

“If I do win, it would be great for my food’s teacher Ann Thompson. She says that the school needs more budget for cooking so it would be good for that,” said the 16-year-old.

He said even if he doesn’t win, the video that he’s made would be a good marketing tool for his baking business, Alaythia Cakes.

Nicholson “drifted into” baking three years ago after getting some cooking experience at Yaky Jacquie’s. That encouraged him to pick up a few baking books and pursue his new-found passion a little further.

He started experimenting at home but his family couldn’t eat the treats fast enough.

“I wanted to bake more so I thought, I’ll bring (the baked goods) to the (local) farmers’ market and sell my product there and make some money to buy all the baking equipment, because all the icing tips and that gets expensive,” he said.

He started selling a dozen cupcakes at the farmers’ market and now, three years later, he is selling upwards of 18 dozen cupcakes, as well as muffins, cookies and tarts.

“I have quite a few loyal customers,” he said.

Besides baking for the market, he also bakes cakes and treats for parties and events.

“I’m just really doing what I enjoy,” said

❚ FOR THE RECORD

There’s Nothing Like it!

MAX NICHOLSON

Nicholson. When the Gazette asked him why he entered into the Discover Trades BC video contest, he said it was because it’s important for kids his age to know that trades are a viable career option.

“A lot of people think of trades as a second option and I think it’s important to know that trades don’t have to be a second option,” he said. “Trades are a good job and we need to have trades, especially baking – everyone wants to eat.”

Nicholson has viewed all 32 video entries and he’s confident that his video stands near the top.

“We devoted lot of time into our video. I don’t want to be over confident, but based on watching them and other people’s opinion, I think I will be in the top three.”

The Top-10 rated videos will be judged by a panel of judges, which includes Mike Holmes from Holmes on Homes and Trevor Bird, contestant from Top Chef Canada.

The 26Th annual BC ChilDren’s hOsPiTal’s MiraCle WeekenD

BC Children’s Hospital helps kids get care closer to home Brooke Malakoff has made countless trips to BC Children’s Hospital since she was diagnosed with cancer in 2011. The 18-yearold Fernie resident has nothing but praise for the hospital and the doctors and nurses who have cared for her, but she’s always happy when she doesn’t have to travel any further than Cranbrook for care.

“They have a little oncology unit in Cranbrook,” she says. “I go there once a month for about three days now. It’s much more spiritually uplifting to be at home, and it’s nice to be closer to my friends and family.

Just being able to sleep in your own bed makes all the difference in the world.”

Fortunately, caregivers at BC Children’s Hospital know it is easier on children and their families when they can receive care closer to home. With this in mind, the hospital supported the creation of Child Health BC, an initiative aimed at ensuring all BC children have access to a consistent standard of specialized care, ideally close to home.

“It’s always good news to me when a young person is able to receive specialized care close to home,” says Dr. Maureen O’Donnell, executive director of Child Health BC. “That is exactly what we’re looking for.”

In the near future, children and youth in the Kootenay will benefit from an even closer link. Equipment

purchased by Child Health BC is being installed at the Kootenay Child Development Centre that will allow it to operate as a “telehealth” centre – a direct connection to BC Children’s Hospital via an audiovisual link.

Child Health BC’s activities took off after Overwaitea Food Group became the lead benefactor with a pledge of $20 million in support in 2007. TELUS and Scotiabank later made gifts of $5 million and $1 million, respectively. This support had an immediate impact, says O’Donnell. Pediatric clinics established with Child Health BC’s support in Nanaimo and Prince George have thousands of patient visits annually; additional travelling clinics are staffed by BC Children’s caregivers in communities across the province; and over 1,000 health professionals have participated in Child Health BC’s workshops.

O’Donnell credits Overwaitea Food Group’s donation with Child Health BC’s growing reach across the province, noting that it’s a perfect fit for an organization with a presence in so many BC communities. Overwaitea Food Group President Darrell Jones agrees.

“We’re committed to the health and wellness of kids and families in BC,” says Jones. “We’ve been

proud to support BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades – and with the help of our communities, we’ve contributed millions of dollars toward hospital improvement projects, advocacy programs and important research initiatives. We’re grateful for the amazing support of our local communities, team members, customers and supplier partners who have all played a key role in making this fundraising success possible.”

Child Health BC is part of a larger transformation in the way BC’s children receive care, says Larry Gold, president of BC Children’s Hospital and Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children. The transformation also includes the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

“We want to ensure children have access to a consistent standard of care, whether they live in Smithers, Campbell River or Castlegar; and there will always be children who need care that’s only available in a children’s hospital,” says Gold.

BC Children’s Hospital Foundation has raised close to $170 million, including Overwaitea Food Group’s gift and $25 million from Teck Resources Limited, in its $200-million capital campaign to support construction of the new hospital and Child Health BC. Gold says that the new hospital, which will open in 2018, will be family-friendly, making it easier for families from outside the Lower Mainland to remain with their children.

Beyond the money being raised for the new hospital and Child Health BC, Gold says the hospital also counts on donations of about $14 million a year to support research, equipment purchases and training.

On June 1 and 2 BC Children’s Hospital Foundation will hold its annual Miracle Weekend celebration on Global BC, to raise the millions the hospital needs to cover its urgent annual needs.

“Every year people from across the province make donations in support of the hospital and it makes a huge difference,” says Gold. “Brooke Malakoff is proof of that.”

Brooke’s family has a direct connection to Child Health BC’s biggest supporter.

Brooke has worked at the Overwaitea in Fernie and her stepfather George Torresani manages the meat and deli department.

The store’s annual fundraising programs in support of BC Children’s have taken on special meaning, but Brooke and her family have always been keen to help their community.

“I volunteer as much as I can and anywhere I can,” she says. “Anything I can do to give back.”

In 2012, over 360 children from the Kootenays made over 900 visits to BC Children’s Hospital.

JUNE 1 & 2, 2013 On June 1 and 2, tune in to Miracle Weekend, broadcast live from BC Children’s Hospital, on Global BC from 7:00pm on Saturday, June 1 until 5:30pm on Sunday, June 2 The 26th annual BC Children’s Hospital’s Miracle Weekend is a two-day celebration that showcases the best of BC Children’s Hospital: patients, their families, caregivers and supporters who come from every corner of BC. BC Children’s Hospital receives over 200,000 visits from patients from across the province every year. Donations help the hospital deliver the best in care every day, and are helping to prepare for the future by supporting the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital and better access to care for children in or close to their home communities.

Please support BC Children’s Hospital.

At the Overwaitea Food Group, we’re very proud of our longstanding commitment to investing in the health of kids and their families. We’re grateful to everyone who supports us in this effort. Our team members, customers and suppliers have all played a key role in our fundraising success over the years.

We’ve been supporting BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades, and we’ve raised millions of dollars in support of capital improvement projects, important research initiatives and advocacy programs designed to help keep our kids safe by reducing preventable injuries.

In 2007, we made a $20 million pledge to support Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital that helps get kids in BC get the care they need, closer to home. Since then, we’ve raised more than $10.7 million toward our goal, and Child Health BC has been able to put this concept into action in a number of communities throughout BC. We are grateful for the amazing commitment and fund raising efforts driven by OFG team members who encourage the generosity of our customers and suppliers.

Quarter century for ABH Car Sales

SASCHA PORTEOUS Gazette Reporter

ABH Car Sales has been in the business of selling cars for 25 years.

On June 8, Grand Forks’ only car dealership will be celebrating its birthday with an open house, barbecue and prizes at its 2913 Central Avenue location.

Ken Lazeroff has been with ABH for 22 years and he still remembers when his dad first opened up shop in 1988.

“My father (Bill) was into logging but after some health issues, he decided to get into vehicle sales,” said Lazeroff.

“He started out small working out of an office at OK Tire.”

Now a quarter of a century later, they have a large lot along Highway 3 with nearly 50 vehicles on site, year-round.

Lazeroff said ABH specializes in low kilometre, extra clean, pre-owned vehicles.

“That’s what we have been known for, for a long time,” he said. “It’s what works for us.”

David Davies, also a longtime staff member of ABH, said the used car dealership model has been successful in Grand Forks because people have good options.

“We have Chevy, Ford and Dodge ... if you like Toyotas, we have Toyotas, if you like Hondas, we have Hondas,” said Davies. “We have the variety and that is what makes (the business) work.”

Lazeroff estimates that 50 per cent of the vehicles are sold to out-of-towners.

“We sell a lot of vehicles to people from the Kootenays, Okanagan, all over B.C. and the farthest was New Zealand,” he said, as he described how a man bought a truck and then had it shipped down south.

Davies said that the Internet has really opened up the business.

“We also sold a vehicle to some place in Africa as well,” he said. “That’s really opened my eyes to w-w-w – it’s really world wide.”

Lazeroff said that business has changed over the years.

“With the Internet, we have kept our prices lower, to have lower margins.

That way people will drive from miles away to shop here,” he said.

Davies said having a used car dealership in town that averages selling between 300 to 350 cars per year helps other businesses stay viable because it’s outsourcing mechanical work, glass and window repairs, new tires and even new paint jobs.

Attention Hunters and Fishermen Please note that 2013 memberships for the Grand Forks Wildlife Association (GFWA) are only available until June 1st, 2013.

Due to more stringent requirements for liability insurance and to streamline associated memberships with the BC Wildlife Federation, the GFWA is changing its membership renewal due dates.

2013 Memberships will be available for purchase until June 1st. If your membership is not renewed, you will not be able to use the rifle range (unless as a guest of a current member), or be eligible for awards from the annual horn score.

2014 Memberships will go on sale on June 15th,2013 and will be available until Dec 31st, 2013.

For more information or questions, please contact: Jamie Hibberson 250-442-2874 Brian Hancock 250-445-2118 Len Mehmal 250-442-5979

Memberships are available at Work n Play, located at 221 Market Ave in downtown Grand Forks.

Davies told the Gazette that ABH’s upcoming birthday is a chance to thank the community for its support.

Quote of the Week: When a man is wrapped up in himself, he makes a ~ John Ruskin (1819 - 1900) pretty small package.

Students from School District 51 area schools got some exercise and had some fun at the District Track Meet at Perley Elementary School in Grand Forks last Friday.

Students from Grades 4 to 7, from Big White Community School all the way to Christina Lake, descended on the Grand Forks elementary school to take part in track-and-field events.

“We had 45 teams from all over the district,” said Sharon McConnell, Perley staff member and one of the event organizers. “They (the schools) practice for a month for the big day and we got all the teams ready … 2000 was the first year that we started the track meet and we’ve been doing it for 13 years, although we didn’t do it last year because of the teachers’ strike.”

While there are students from schools across the district, Perley Grade 3/4 teacher and another event organizer Yvonne Konar said competition isn’t the focus – the event is all about fun.

“On every single team, there are students from every school, or at least three or four schools. We try to do it so there are two students from every

school so they at least have one partner within their team,” explained Konar. “They’re only competing against – if we want to call it competing – their individual team of eight students.”

There was a concession operating and while there was junk food in the past, that has changed thanks to a focus on a healthy school initiative, according to McConnell.

“We had some granola bars and fruit leather and the nachos were on the healthy side,” she said. “There was watermelon and we kind of mix it up a little bit. I mean the kids just love coming to the concession.”

The event goes rain, shine or sleet said Konar and McConnell and while the weather did eventually co-operate, things weren’t looking too promising in the days leading up.

“Wednesday, when it was raining, it was like, ‘Oh my goodness!’” McConnell said. “It was nice to see that blue sky (Friday) morning and weather-wise it was perfect. It wasn’t too hot; it was a really good day.”

“I know many of us (Friday) came with rubber boots, winter clothes – I actually brought a toque with me – full rain gear just in case,” Konar explained. “But Mother Nature absolutely agreed.”

Joke of the Week:

A dog walks into a bar and hops up on a stool. He looks the bartender in the eye and says, “Hey, guess what? I can talk. Have you ever seen a talking dog before? How about a drink?”

The bartender thinks for a moment and says, “Sure, the toilet’s right around the corner.”

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 the pond: 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.

Georama’s Plant of the Week

Linden Tree Common name: Linden Tree, Basswood, Lime Botanical Names: Tilia cordata Linden trees, which are among some of the longest lived trees in the world, have a long history in Europe dating back to at least medieval times. Lindens produce a mass of sweet smelling flowers in early summer, a soothing herbal tea can be made from them and is said to be effective for curing colds, fevers, infections, headaches and even palpitations of the heart! The wood is fine grained and wonderfully ‘workable’ and is traditionally used for intricate carving. Linden trees are very adaptable, and grow slowly, taking a few years to provide shade, but the results are worth the wait. A mature Linden is a beautiful tree that produces fragrant and

showy flowers. Most Linden varieties such as ‘Dropmore’, ‘Greenspire’ and ‘Harvest Gold’ have upright growth patterns displaying a dense pyramidal shape. The main problem associated with this tree is it’s proclivity to aphid infestations that leads to staining on surfaces under the tree. Lindens would be better planted away from cars and patios, in a lawn area. Alas there are no perfect trees. On the other hand, it has been said “There are no bad trees – just bad planning “ So go ahead and plant your Linden, soon you too may be sitting in its shade, with a nice soothing cup of Linden tea!

BOB MacLEAN

Once again Grand Forks’ Dr. Robb Sebastian is prescribing a serious amount of exercise for cycling enthusiasts.

Over 220 cyclists from British Columbia, Alberta, Washington, and farther locales will be participating in the threeday Robb’s Ride on May 31 to June 2 or Friday to Sunday, covering 348 kilometres and 3,890 metres of climbing.

This is the seventh year and it has grown steadily year by year. There were 150 riders last year and about 100 in 2011.

On the first day starting at 11:45 a.m., the group will cycle into town on Highway 3 from the USCC hall, turn right on Fifth Ave., turn right on Kettle River Drive and continue to the Spraggett Bridge and course along Carson Road, through the nursery and onto High-

way 3 again and up Granby Road, back along North Fork Road and up and over Hardy Mountain to the USCC hall – this covers 104 kilometres.

Motorists may encounter long lines of bicycles, so please share the road as usual and only pass when it is safe. One may want to avoid some of these roads and the border at approximately 9:15 to 10 a.m. on June 1 as part of the group will be entering Washington at the Danville crossing then. Riders head to Osoyoos through Washington, a 120-kilometre day. On Day 3, the cyclists ride from Osoyoos to Grand Forks favour-

The Relay for Life and the Terry Fox Foundation will receive grants from the proceeds of Robb’s Ride 2013.

The Grand Forks Cycling Club also receives a grant, which will be extended to youth cycling events such as the Grand Forks Recreation Departments Just Tri It, Christina Lake Kids Sprint Triathlon, School District 51 Triathlon and to restaurants for the Ride-and-Relax luncheons.

Several businesses such as motels, restaurants and the Grand Forks Secondary School grad class will receive spin-offs from 220 out of town visitors.

So 348 kilometres is just what the doctor ordered for cyclists, and it is beneficial to the town this weekend and in the future, as many cyclists will return to ride in this picturesque valley where motorists understand safety for all.

There are approximately 50 members in the Grand Forks Cycling Club from ages 25 to 7, from all walks of life. Check out grandforkscyclingclub.com for details, membership and contacts.

Suggestions for dealing with dementia z Health Submission ALZHEIMER SOCIETY OF B.C.

For many people, Father’s Day means a new sweater for Dad, a game of catch in the backyard and maybe a barbecue with family.

But as adult children of parents living with Alzheimer’s disease, or another dementia know, the gifts and celebrations typically associated with the day take on new meaning. Many caregivers learn that simply spending time and communicating with a parent or family member are what matter most.

In fact, meaningful interaction is important to maintaining the quality of life of people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. However, as dementia progresses, the ability to communicate becomes more difficult.

By taking their limitations into consideration, it is possible to support people living with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia in their interactions with you.

Members of Alzheimer Society of B.C. support groups who are living with early-stage dementia gave us insight into some of the challenges they experience when communicating, and offered tips for how caregivers can support a family member who may at times have difficulties with communication.

Here are some of the communication challenges people living with dementia shared with us: “Sometimes I don’t think before I talk.”

“My husband is getting frustrated “When people get annoyed with me, because he has to tell me things too of- or don’t give me the time I need.” ten.”

“I used to be a leader, but now I can’t “Don’t remind me that I’ve forgotten keep up.” something - it doesn’t help.”

“I’m struggling with words.

I can see them in my mind and I know the word I want, but they’re gone and I can’t call them up. I’m reluctant to put myself in that position where I’m called on to say something Gone from us that smiling face and all of the sudden, I can’t get the words out.

friends and doing jigsaw puzzles. She was involved in “Adra” and a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

An open service was held at the Grand Forks Funeral Home Monday, May 27, 2013 at 11 a.m. and Ruth was laid to rest at Evergreen Cemetery.

We would like to thank all the nurses and her doctor, and close friends who took great care of her.

Rolan Arne

Fardal

It is with great sadness that the families of Rolan Fardal announce his sudden passing on May 10 at the age of 36 in a motor vehicle accident in Alberta. He was building a timber frame home near Water Valley for a client.

Rolan leaves behind his loving wife Lara and their two sons Brodie, 6, and Devon, 4. A memorial service was held on May 22 in Castlegar.

He is also survived by his mother Lorraine Fardal; father Arne Fardal (Marlene); grandmother Esther Becker; sister Heidi Halbert (Darren) and their children: Jenna, Chelsea, Eric, Ryan, and Rachel; Uncle Don, Aunt Sharleen and their family; Lara’s parents, Rose and Dave Beattie; and brother-in-law Mark Beattie.

Rolan was born on May 23, 1976 in Quesnel, B.C. He and Lara met in Calgary in 1999 and were married in Maui, Hawaii in 2004. After the birth of their sons they moved to Castlegar in 2008.

Rolan and Lara created Fardal Contracting specializing in the design and building of timber frame homes. He worked hard and played hard, enjoying life to the fullest.

The Brodie/Devon Education fund has been established at the Grand Forks Credit Union.
