Only 21 people attended the public information session to outline plans for the decommissioning of the Providence Dam at Marshall Lake hosted by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) on June 26. Dan Peterson, Thompson Okanagan director of resource management, and Mike Burwash, section head for Fish and Wildlife, were joined by Fisheries biologists Tara White and Brian Janze from Penticton, who delivered the bulk of the presentation. According to the government, Providence Dam no longer meets provincial or Canadian dam safety standards and has outlived it’s original purpose to supply water to the Phoenix Mine and that a dam failure has the potential to impact the entire community of Greenwood. So to ensure the public’s safety, the dam is being decommissioned. The plan calls for a 46-metre opening at the top of the 30-metre high dam with sloping sides down to a four-metre spillway at the base (the dam is currently 110 metres long). This is the minimum amount of removal that will meet dam safety regulations and allow the Ministry of Environment Fisheries Section to be clear of their responsibility for mainte-

nance and liability. White said Providence Dam has been designated a high consequence dam, with potential for loss of life, substantial economic, social, environment or cultural loss if the dam were to fail. Midway resident John Greaves questioned the high consequence classification, suggesting the po-

tential for failure is low and could be mitigated. “This keeps coming up and I feel like I am being lied to,” said Greaves, who regularly posts on the Marshall Lake Stewardship Group Facebook page. In 2011, the City of Greenwood was given a year

Quote of the Week: Humor is also a way of saying something serious. ~ T. S. Eliot (1888 - 1965) Joke of the Week: An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any recent interest in his paintings, which happened to be on display. “I have good news and bad news,” the gallery owner replied. “The good news is that a gentleman inquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death.” “What did you say?” questioned the artist. “When I told him it would, he bought all 15 of your paintings.” “That’s wonderful!” the artist exclaimed. “What’s the bad news?” “The gentleman was your doctor.”

dent,” wrote Terashita. “As we were evacuating the residents of this area, we were asked where they should go. We did not have an answer other than clear the area, maybe go for coffee, or just wait a block away until the situation was resolved.” Terashita asked three questions: Do we have an emergency plan in place; where would the residents be martialled; and who organizes the emergency response teams? The mayor admitted there had been an oversight in that the fire department should have been given a copy of the agreement the city has in place with the regional district. “I thought that the mustering station that we had was at the city parking lot,” the mayor added.

to try to put together a plan to take over the licences. “In June 2012 local government responded it was not feasible and they were not capable to take on the dam,” said White. Last fall the lake was pumped down to the natural level of storage, reducing it from 6.5 hectares in size to 2.6 hectares – the depth changing from 13.85 metres to 7.7 metres. “Essentially what dam safety are looking for is a structure that will not fill up or block in any way to cause any backup of water what would give out in any heavy storm event,” said Janze. At the request of neighbouring property owners, the ministry sought cost estimates for both the 46-metre breach and for removal of the entire dam. Janze put the figure for total removal at “probably $1 million,” whereas the preferred 46 metre breach comes in at under $200,000. The cost of the lake drawdown last year was put at $100,000. Greaves and others at the meeting questioned the costs to keep the dam vs. the cost to decommission it. “One of the key considerations is that we want people to be able to maintain recreational activity at Marshall Lake,” Janze said as he gave an overview of site rehabilitation. “I don’t want to see you guys just walk away from it,” said Greenwood Mayor Nipper Kettle. “In the end we need something up there. Because there are quite a few people in the community

that like that place. They go up there and use it on a regular basis. I just want a commitment from you guys that there is going to be something left there so the citizens of our community will have something.” “That’s our agenda,” replied White, “to maintain the natural storage and continue to stock it to provide recreational opportunities. Rehabilitate the area for recreation. There will still be a recreation corridor there.” “Once we get out from under this licence and the maintenance costs, we can spend more for the fisheries,” said Janze. “We have 300 lakes in the region with less than $100,000 a year in the budget.” He said that because of the high consequence classification, two staff members must drive from Penticton each month to do an inspection and every seven years, an engineering review is required at a cost of $30,000. “It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to maintain it.” Jim Forshaw, who said he spent his career in the mining industry building and maintaining tailings dams, called the decommissioning of the dam a foregone conclusion. “These poor folks are just doing what they are told to do,” he said after the meeting. “Greenwood needs every little bit of help it can get. Anything that can make it better, can bring tourists and have a nice place to camp.” In May, FLNRO public affairs officer Brennan Clark told the Times that decommissioning is scheduled to take place in August and September 2013.

Tunnel of Flags – or is that Fears? AL DONNELLY Submitted

This summer marks the 100th anniversary of the construction of the road tunnel at the north end of the City of Greenwood, now commonly referred to as the “Tunnel of Flags”. One hundred years ago, some people in the Boundary district might have been calling the new structure the “Tunnel of Fears”. In 1913, the Canadian Pacific Railway was in the process of replacing the old trestle and truss bridge built in 1899 spanning Boundary Creek and the wagon road (now Highway 3) just north of the city. A rock and gravel fill was replacing the old wooden structure; a one-lane road tunnel (and sizable stone-walled culvert for the creek) was designed to take traffic under the new rail-

gallery 2

“Its construction in its present form was protested against by the Grand Jury at the Assize last month, and I ask you to refer to such finding. If permitted to be completed, the tunnel will be a death trap and a permanent menace to life and property, since with the advent of automobiles it is necessary to have a clear view of approaching vehicles; and being long and low and dark, it will be a resort of hold-uppers and other criminals. “A meeting of the electors has been called to protest against this menace. I am fighting for the safety of our citizens and the travelling public, and to protect them from robbery and worse. It will be unsafe for women to enter such a tunnel unprotected.” Mayor McLaine’s fears apparently fell on deaf ears as a month later, with no change made in the design of the tunnel, the superintendent of the CPR www.gallery2grandforks.ca for the Boundary district pronounced the tunnel to be completed and no alterations or improvements were to be done.

bed. But the design was questioned and Greenwood Mayor Frederic W. McLaine wired the following lettergram to Sir Richard McBride, premier, and W.J. Bowser, attorney-general of British Columbia, on July 14, 1913, pleading with the powers to be to stop the CPR from continuing the tunnel construction. “I respectfully call your immediate attention to the fact that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company is continuing the construction of a tunnel for the Public Highway at its bridge in the north end of this city, at an angle which prevents drivers of automobiles and teams from seeing approaching vehicles until both will be actually in the tunnel. The approach and tunnel will be about 120 feet in length, and low, and not of a width to permit a load of hay and team to pass therein.

Greenwood’s “Tunnel of Flags”.

The tunnel would serve the district (for better or worse) for the next 50 years. In 1964, the one-lane tunnel was replaced with a two-lane road tunnel. The old tunnel was filled in with earth. But it would surface again. When the CPR abandoned the railroad throughout the district in 1990 and started removing infrastructure, the fill above the highway was removed. As there was no longer a need for a tunnel on the highway, the two-lane tunnel was destroyed. The 1913

one-lane road tunnel was then unearthed and given by the CPR to the City of Greenwood as a heritage landmark. Today’s concerns for the tunnel have nothing to do with Mayor McLaine’s fears of a “death trap” and a “resort of hold-uppers and other criminals”. One hundred years later, concerns revolve around the issues of what to do with a landmark that has become an eye-sore; and how serious are we about wanting to preserve interesting pieces of Boundary district heritage.

Turners say goodbye to district School District 51 (Boundary) has undergone some significant shuffling in the administration ranks with the end of the school year with the retirement of two senior administrators – Superintendent Michael Strukoff and Director of Instruction Maxine Ruzicka. Also leaving the district are Darryl Turner, principal of Greenwood and Midway Elementary Schools for the past eight years and Jennifer Turner, who has filled many roles in the district over the years. With a degree as a psychologist she has served as district vice-principal of student services and as principal of Walker Development Centre in Grand Forks and Big White Community School. Many of the students at Greenwood Elementary have never had another school principal other than Mr. Turner. He will be taking the position of principal at Edgewater Elementary, which is located 11 kilometres north of Radium.

Jennifer will become the Assistant Superintendent of District 6, based in Invermere and covering the region from Kimberly to Golden. The couple sees some advantages. A little better commute for one, and they will be closer to their oldest daughter who graduated from BCSS two years ago and now works in northern Alberta. “I am going to miss the Boundary,” said Darryl. “It is a good place to raise kids. They need to be careful to preserve what they have got here.” The family moved to the Boundary ten years ago, after putting in 10 years in the education system in northern Alberta and another two in Okotoks. They both spent their first two years in the Boundary teaching at BCSS. Jennifer recalls that their two youngest children were just born when they moved to the Boundary. “We have lots of close friends,” she said. “The Boundary will always be part of our lives and memories.”

Darryl Turner (on ladder right) and his wife Jennifer pose with the staff from Greenwood and Midway Elementary Schools as they bid goodbye to the pair who are leaving to work in the Rocky Mountain School District # 6.

Jennifer said that the district has worked hard to be innovative and a large part of the puzzle are the partnerships formed across the community. She called the Boundary School District a

model of good practice in the province. “Thank you for the warm welcome and the opportunity to raise our family in such a wonderful place,” she said as our interview closed.

A year of transition for school staff and students In the education world, the end of June is when we typically see employee retirements. This year we have seven long-serving employees who are retiring: Clare Folvik (library aide), Toni Gill (library aide), Faye Hugar (education assistant), Christena Henry (teacher), Joan Kootnekoff (teacher), Maxine Ruzicka (director of instruction) and Michael Strukoff (superintendent of schools). It is the two retirements at the board office that I want to discuss. It will be a big transition for many of us in the school district when Strukoff and Ruzicka retire next week after 36 years apiece with School District 51 (SD51). Both began as teachers, moved on to administration and then into the district office. With their retirement come significant changes for many of us. Kevin Argue, currently principal of Perley Elementary, will take over the job of superintendent of schools. Argue has been working closely with Strukoff over the last few months while still working as principal of Perley, to ease the transition into his new role. Similarly, Doug Lacey, prin­ cipal of Hutton Elementary, has been transi-

A DIVISION OF BLACK PRESS – PRINTED EVERY THURSDAY. Mailing address: Box 99, Greenwood, B.C. V0H 1J0 Street address: 318 South Copper Avenue, Greenwood, B.C.

Bless the children Canada Day was a bit different for some in the West Boundary this year. Greenwood didn’t have a parade. Many folks from Greenwood and Midway went down to the Rock Creek Canada Day Parade and Party. This is good. We need to encourage neighborliness between local communities and family-friendly functions are an excellent way to mix it up. Kudos to all of the groups and individuals who contributed to the day, and especially to the 4-H kids for the great job they did organizing the kids’ games at the Rock Creek Canada Day Party. Some adults (teachers and spouses of, generally) took turns putting their face in a hole in a life-size clown plywood cutout. That was a popular activity. Kids were lining up to toss sponges dripping with water at them. You only felt sorry for them until you realized that the day was so hot they were probably way more comfortable than a lot of other people. Terry Keough, president of the Rock Creek Community Medical Society, was grinning from ear-to-ear as he watched the medical centre parking lot fill up with people. He said that it was a fine example of how many different community groups can come together to make a great day for everyone. Two similar events are going to happen this month in the West Boundary. Greenwood celebrates Founder’s Day, it’s on July 13 this year (it’s always the second weekend of July). Midway will have Kettle River Day and the JLB Memorial Run on the 20th. All three events dates include families and young children. The number of young families attending Canada Day in Rock Creek was incredible – let’s continue to support family friendly events across the region. Bless the children – for they are a catalyst acting to bring our communities together.

Boundary Creek Times Thursday, July 4, 2013

Mercury rises, pool opens The Greenwood swimming pool opened for the season last Saturday and it didn’t take long for the place to fill up. Schedules are available at city hall. New this year is AquaFit. Also on tap are swim club, lessons and public swimming. Need a ride to lessons? Anyone living west of Ingram Bridge can contact Steve Stewart, Kettle River Recreation at 250-449-2467 for information about an available $35 subsidy.

Many hands make both light work and a quality job too at the Boundary Guiding Unit car wash.

Car wash helps goal The Girl Guides set up a car wash at the Spot in Midway on Canada Day to help raise money to send three Pathfinders from Midway and two from Grand Forks on a 10-day trip to a World Association of Girl Guides and Girls Scouts World Centre in Mexico in July 2014. Midway Guiders Elaine Fromme and Sue Fielding will be accompanying them. Each girl has to raise $2,500 by May 2014 to cover the cost of travel and accommodation. Guides will be selling handmade crafts at Rock Creek and Boundary Fair. The Spot has kindly offered space for car washes throughout the summer (there will be one this Saturday, July 6 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and will also have bundles of firewood on sale, which are tied by the girls. A community bottle drive and silent auction are also planned for later in the year. Extra cookies will be on sale. The girls can take on jobs such as yard/lawn work, dog walking, babysitting, window cleaning, and leaf/snow clearance. To take advantage of these services call Fromme 250-449-2309 or Fielding 250-445-9955 for Midway and Greenwood, and Erin Stavenjord 250442-5926 in Grand Forks for availability.

GEV ends fifth year of success Once again another year gone by for the Girl’s Eye View (GEV) group! The group is an initiative of the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy and was born out of the Safer Boundary Initiative six years ago. They meet throughout the school year and this year the group is comprised of some 30 tween-age girls from the West Boundary area. GEV held its annual wind-up event on June 11 at Rock Creek Ranch, hosted by ranch owner Dennis Culic. The theme was “the Olden Days” – whatever that means to the girls, anything from Egyptian days to the ’80s! A big thank you to all the funders of this group including the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy, Area E RDKB Director Bill Baird,

Boundary Family and Individual Services Society, School District 51 (Boundary), and the Kettle Rivers Lions Club. Thank you to all the guest speakers over the year who helped support the goals of the group. These would include instilling positive self-esteem in young women before they enter high school, providing a safe space for young women to speak their own mind and express themselves in a safe and accepting environment, using tools such as photography, journaling, and guided conversation. Carol Mitchell from Boundary Family and Individual Services Society and Deborah Baker from Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy are the GEV facilitators. Dennis Culic (standing) of Rock Creek Ranch hosted the year-end windup of Girl’s Eye View recently.

Celebrating Canada Day in style The Rock Creek Canada Day Celebration was the biggest and best in many a year. It was a collaborative effort of many groups pitching in to make the day a success, with Angela Hatch of Discover Rock Creek taking the lead in organizing the fourth annual parade this year. This is the sixth year for the Canada Day Party hosted by the Rock Creek Community Medical Society (RCCMS) at the medical centre grounds. Kettle Valley Recreation donated prizes; the Kettle River Lions grilled hamburgers and hot dogs for everyone; and the Women’s Institute provided desserts. The 4-H club kept all the younger kids busy with a carnival atmosphere in the medical centre playground. Hatch said she’d like to thank everyone who contributed to the day, including the police who came out to lead the parade and West Boundary Highway Rescue members for providing the flagging. RCCMS President Terry Keough was thrilled and excited to see so many in the community come out to celebrate Canada’s birthday together.

A local Rock Creek prospector known to many only as Cliff was pushing his own float in the Canada Day Parade. Discover Rock Creek’s Pat Pownall said he is planning on being at Riverfest on Aug. 3 to demonstrate gold panning.

The Kettle River Lions cooked the burgers and hot dogs. Dessert was provided by the Women’s Institute members.

Six-and-half-year-old Justice Skaros found a nice place to rest while waiting for the parade to start.

Committed to reading

West Boundary communities were overrun with kids last week as West Boundary Elementary celebrated the end of the 2012-2013 Wild Reader Program with a scavenger hunt. To participate, students had to earn Wild Bucks by reading for 20 minutes a night four nights per week for the entire school year. In past years they have gone to Kelowna, but this year they changed it up a bit with teams of kids going to businesses and offices on a scavenger hunt. According to Principal Brian Foy, 62 students qualified this year – earning the $180 in Wild Bucks needed to secure a ticket on the bus. Boundary C 4-H Club were a major part of the parade and day this year as games for the younger kids were organized and run by the 4-H members. 4-H member Darnell Barchuk was all decked out for the day. Teams of students from WBES were seen at the Midway fire hall last Thursday taking part in the Wild Readers Scavenger Hunt.

Dollars for signage Midway Partnership Fund (MPF) Chairperson John Fair (right) presents a cheque to Ross Elliott, the chairperson of the Midway Trails Society, towards the purchase of all of the new directional and informational signs that have been and are being erected around the community of Midway. Looking on are Midway Trails Society directors Fran Elliott and Adrianna Goodson. Midway Partnership dollars come from two sources: the Heritage Fund (an investment partnership between the Village of Midway and the Vancouver Foundation); and, the Legacy Fund (partnership between the village and the Phoenix Foundation). Pamphlets with full details about the work of the MPF are available at the library and the village office. The MPF is supported by the Phoenix Foundation of the Boundary Communities.

Food prep area thanks to grant Everyone in the Village of Midway stands to benefit from the completion of the food preservation area at the community garden that was put in thanks to a $20,000 Age Friendly BC grant. Midway Councillor Richard Dunsdon was the project champion and contact person for the grant, which covered 100 per cent of the costs of providing an area near the community garden where food can be prepared for long-term storage. The grant was announced in February 2012 and the food prep facility will be in use this harvest season. “I wanted to take the garden’s growing capabilities to the next level in terms of long-term storage and move away from ‘in season’ food consumption,” Dunsdon told the Times. “In terms of food processing I was looking at dehydration, vacuum sealing, canning, juicing,” he added. Included in the food prep area are a range, fridge and freezer. Dunsdon said the grant would enable all Midway residents, but particularly seniors, to buy into a healthy food lifestyle and remain active and productive. The village owns the building and the community garden group will continue to run the garden project. “The village wishes to acknowledge the strong commitment from the Community Garden Group and Councillor Richard Dunsdon who oversaw many aspects of the project and were crucial in its success,” said village administrator Penny Feist. In September 2011, Premier Christy Clark announced the launch of Age-friendly BC, a grant and recognition program to help local governments create environments that support the good health and community participation of seniors. The Age-friendly BC program focuses on providing communities with support, information and recognition to help meet the needs of an aging population. Local governments can achieve age-friendly recognition and officially become an Age-friendly BC community once they have completed four basic steps that focus on community engagement, commitment, assessment and action.

Pumpkinfest returns

The Discover Rock Creek Society has published their 2013 Rock Creek Business Directory and it is now available in participating stores. “This year’s publication is bigger and more comprehensive than ever, including a section on our local 4-H club in honour of 4-H Canada celebrating its 100th anniversary this year,” said president Pat Pownall. The directory features event listings as well as the opportunity to discover the variety of local businesses ready to serve you in the Rock Creek area. Discover Rock Creek is bringing back the Pumpkinfest again this year too. Pownall says the “pumpkin crop”’ is ready to go! “You can pick up your blank copy from Rags, Relics and Rutabagas and unleash the creative beast in you,” she said. Blanks are $7 and after you glue, paint, draw, embellish, etc. you return your masterpiece to Pownall and all entries are given individual awards by a panel of quick-witted judges and then dispersed to local businesses to be displayed and enjoyed by all. Both tourists and locals alike are delighted by the opportunity to “hunt down” the latest creations and visit stores that display them. Pumpkinfest will be held at West Boundary Elementary School in late October. Proceeds go to the Discover Rock Creek Society, which uses the funds to enable other community projects. If you have questions or queries call Pat Pownall at 250-446-2171.

School superintendent set to retire JIM HOLTZ

Grand Forks Gazette

After a 38-year career in education, School District 51 Superintendent Michael Strukoff is retiring. Born and raised in Grand Forks, Strukoff ’s relationship with Grand Forks schools has been both long and varied. “When I started school, I was essentially an ESL (English as a Second Language) student. We spoke primarily Russian at home. As a non-English speaking kid, you got streamed right away.” He added with a slight smile, “The expectations the system had of me were not high.” Fortunately, he had several teachers in Grand Forks who were determined to help him excel. By the time he graduated from Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS), Strukoff was not only a successful student, but a member of the provincial champion GFSS basketball team. The influence of special teachers reverberates in him today, particularly the influence of Fred Walker, after whom the Fred Walker Development Centre is named. “Fred has been very dear to my heart and at the Walker Development Centre, they still talk about the legacy of Fred

Walker,” the SD51 superintendent explains. Walker and other concerned teachers provided Strukoff with the encouragement and determination that he needed and they modeled for him the behaviour and attitudes that good teachers must have. After beginning his own career as a teacher of math and science at Killarney Secondary School in 1975, he and his wife Marilyn decided to return to Grand Forks. He was offered a job teaching Grade 7 at Hutton Elementary, as well as teaching Russian language classes and did that for five years until becoming the vice-principal at GFSS in 1980. He was promoted to principal of Hutton in 1987, where he worked for 18 years before becoming superintendent in 2005. Strukoff also worked from 2003 to 2005 as district principal and operations manager. During this time he oversaw the Phoenix program of distributed learning and the construction of Big White Community School. As a retiring superintendent, Strukoff shows through his comments on the district’s successes the same concern Fred Walker showed him. “We live in what is considered a depressed area economically,” he said. “And

so we are supposed to be underperforming and I think we have challenged that kind of trend. Certainly, our achievement levels could be higher but we are very proud of the fact that we are keeping kids in school. By graduating, they get that leg up that, without graduation, you don’t have. And so we’re very proud of the last few sets of statistics that show we have had a 92 to 94 per cent graduation rate. I attribute that to the close relationship we have with the Boundary Family Individual Services, Public Health, Children and Family. We meet regularly to try and work together because it is those vulnerable kids that, if you can keep them in school and give them the opportunity to graduate, then have options as they go forward in their lives.” Strukoff is somewhat concerned about the future of public education “The B.C. government has announced the BC Education Plan and the concept of personalized learning. There is huge potential, but we saw how the Royal Commission (on education, 1988) proposals fizzled. So

MICHAEL STRUKOFF

I am worried, because we don’t even have a foundation built yet. Is there going to be the will, the energy in the system to actually make the change that is required for education in the 21st Century?” Though he will always be interested in education, Strukoff ’s immediate plans after retiring at the end of the month include pursuing his volunteer work as a Grand Forks Credit Union director, doing some home renovations and taking in the Boundary-Kootenay countryside from astride his sleek, blue Yamaha V-twin.

Ruzicka also announces retirement JIM HOLTZ

Grand Forks Gazette

Maxine Ruzicka, director of instruction for School District 51 (SD51), is retiring after a lifetime working on behalf of students and families. Ruzicka has always felt that society needed to include and celebrate all of its members, and her work both in and outside the school system is testimony to that. Her involvement with special needs students began when she was only nine. “When I was growing up in elementary school, I had four sisters and one who really needed help with her learning, and I was the designated sibling that did her tutoring after school.” Not that she always wanted to be a teacher, however. After high school, she started university, but then quit to do two years of world travelling. “You know the era back then, we were certain that with the atomic bombs the world was going to end and so let’s just see what the world is about.” After returning home and discovering that jobs were scarce and pay was low and unequal for women, she headed back

to university, discovering a program that would alter the course of her life. “A new program really appealed to me at UVIC (the University of Victoria), the Child and Youth Program. There were a lot of masters level university courses on things like learning disabilities, non-verbal assessment, and neuro-psychology and a 16-month practicum in four different areas,” she said. Her decision to work within the public school system was, she said, the result of an assignment she had with a learning disabled boy. “One of my jobs was to work with this young boy who would have been in Grade 2 or 3 and try to integrate him back into the classroom. He had been living in a residential kind of centre, and you know in those days schools were so unforgiving and so unwelcoming of anyone who was different, and they were so disdainful of anybody who wasn’t part of the system. And so it was that experience that made me want to be a teacher and work on the system from the inside. Really, that has shaped all of the work that I have done in

terms of helping our system be a place where all kids belong, regardless of what their challenges are,” she reminisced. Ruzicka has worked outside of the school system as well to develop programs and community groups to help children and families. In the late-70s she helped revitalize Boundary Family and Individual Services Society (BFISS) and expand it to include a wider range of services. Bureaucratic changes in government often made acquiring funding for needed programs difficult, she said, but that didn’t eliminate community efforts. When funding was cut off for the Infant Development Program, BFISS began a fundraising program with concerned parents on their own. “It really embarrassed the government,” Ruzicka said, and suddenly funding was provided. “That’s when we realized the power that we had as a community.” Helping communities utilize their inherent power has been a constant part of Ruzicka’s work. “We only got government to fund programs when we could activate the community. The challenge is initially in bringing people together. The more programs we had, the more money we could apply for because we had more success and credibility.” After a total of 14 years at Perley Elementary, a stint as an exchange teacher in Scotland, and 13 years at Grand Forks Secondary School working with special needs students and as vice-principal, Ruzicka became the principal in West Boundary serving Big White, Beaverdell and West Boundary Elementary Schools. “This,” she said, “was one of my most rewarding times. I wanted to open up all the schools. As a result, each school set aside a space for family services so that there was a place that any service group could book to meet with community members. About five years after that, the government came up with Strong Start learning so we imme-

diately got a number of programs because we had a place already set aside even in the farthest outreaches in the district.” Ruzicka also found rewarding her work helping to establish the Phoenix Foundation. There were gaps in community programs that could not be filled without a community foundation that provided funding on its own. “We really worked hard at establishing an endowment that would generate dollars that could support additional programming that you can’t get a grant for because nobody’s mandate covers it,” she said. In 2005, Ruzicka became director of instruction for SD51, a position that allowed her to oversee all the programs that affect children in the school district. “To me the community work and what we do in schools are so interrelated in terms of how our kids are healthy and how our families are healthy. And my real intent (as director of instruction) was: How do I work within the system to bring the skills and the knowledge to help our kids to be as literate but also as included as possible,” she said. Ruzicka’s future will be less hectic, but not necessarily less active. “I’ll always be a community advocate. But I truly want to take some time off. I don’t want to just fall into doing what I have been doing. Gardening is my No. 1 love and of course growing myself as an individual. I’m always interested in knowledge and today, it’s so readily available.”

Art exhibition space planned Plans are afoot for exhibition space for the Riverside Artists on a wall in Rock Creek’s Kettle River Woodcraft. According to business owner Julie MacDonald, the new gallery will allow the artists to display their work in one central location. The dis-

play will be in place before Riverfest takes place in August. While the space will be limited it will give the artists some exposure and they can direct those interested in their work to their private studio or gallery to see more of their work.

Riverside Artists present for a recent meeting were Pru Zerny (left), Ann Rexin, Bianca Craig, Heather Hollingsworth, Jenny Fletcher, and Terry Jackson. They posed outside Kettle River Woodcraft in Rock Creek where they will soon be displaying their work.

Julie Lindquist played dress up with her daughters Emma and Lexie for the Rock Creek Vintage Fair on Saturday.

In with the old...

Pat Pownall of Rags, Relics and Rutabagas was positively gushing about the weekend the community has just experienced. “We had a great weekend! I can hardly stop grinning.” She said the 3rd annual Rock Creek Vintage Fair brought a lot of people into town. “The firemen were a huge draw for the concession,” she said adding, “and the market people embraced the heritage aspect by dressing in period costume.” Pownall was delighted with the variety of people who took part in the parade and wanted to especially thank Angela Kitchen for organizing it. She said the weekend was filled with laughter and fun. “The connections and friendships made as people helped each other out were inspiring.”

New director

Kettle River Museum has a new manager. Terri Brownell has replaced Linda Prior, who was manager for six years but has decided it was time for a change in her summer routine. Brownell brings a background in business administration, history and art to the job, having had formal training in business and graphics and an enjoyment of history as a hobby. The museum is now open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. through the end of August, when they will keep the same hours Friday through Sunday only.
