A fire at the Grand Forks Arena on Thursday was quickly put out by a fire crew with the help of an ice-making hose from inside the arena. At around 10:45 a.m. on Aug. 22 Grand Forks Fire Rescue was called in after smoke was visible on the southwest wall of the arena. Dale Heriot, Grand Forks Fire Rescue fire chief and manager of emergency services, met one of the arena workers there and together they opened up the wall. Another arena worker grabbed a water hose they were using to flood the arena with ice and brought it out. Heriot and arena staff peeled back the metal siding and put the water on it and managed to contain the fire until firefighters arrived on the scene. Heriot said once the fire crews were there with the fire truck, they peeled back more of the siding to access the fire. “We then used our thermal imaging camera to make sure there was no extension (of the fire) into the upper wall and ceiling, interior and exterior,” he said. “We completed our mop up,” and left after about an hour. Heriot said although they don’t know what caused the fire, it was not of a suspicious nature.
Explosive situation Bomb squad called in to diffuse dynamite on Riverside CRAIG LINDSAY

see page 10 & 11 of this week’s Gazette
A large section of Riverside Drive in Grand Forks was closed for most of Wednesday after police halted a vehicle carrying several sticks of dynamite. RCMP learned of a person attempting to transport sticks of dynamite in a truck on Aug. 21, and managed to stop the driver, directing them to place
the 35 sticks on the roadway and leave the vehicle. Although Grand Forks Fire Rescue attended the scene, the “bomb squad” from Vancouver was called to the area to properly dispose of the dynamite. The suspect had previously contacted the fire department asking for help.

Rural residents evacuated
1908 The Windsor Hotel was purchased by Al Traunwesier from Alex Fraser. Mr. Traunwesier operated the Yale Hotel until its destruction by fire. 1913 Messrs. Miller and Gardner, furniture and hardware dealers moved their business into the newly completed McKie and Bonthron building, adjoining the McInnes block. 1918 During the months of June and July, Wm. Glanville shipped to the Grand Forks Creamery 11 tonnes of milk from his farm, the milk being the production of 16 head of dairy cattle. 1923 Negotiations, lasting two years, were completed whereby the City of Grand Forks acquired a major portion of the Granby Company holdings on the old smelter site, encompassing some 535 acres of land and buildings and the site of the city reservoir. 1928 John T.F. Lawrence, nephew of J.T. Lawrence, acquired the R.W. Hughes ranch, comprising 36 acres of land. 1933 Road work had been started near the steel bridge, about a mile east of the city, whereby it was intended to eliminate two bad railway crossings existing within a mile of each other. 1938 Former residents of Phoenix and Greenwood now living in Vancouver, held their annual old-timers’ basket picnic at Stanley Park, when 80 to 90 people turned out to renew old acquaintances. 1943 The partnership of Dr. Kingston and

There seems to be quite a bit of growth going on downtown once more. There is the Kal Tire moving into the old Turlin building, Cascade Pharmasave soon to start construction of a new drug store behind Super Valu, and an apartment building in the works for the lot next to the Legion. Now all we have left to hear is when and how the Overwaitea will be getting its new store together. 1993 A new adventure playground for Perley Elementary School was only a dream for two years, but that dream became a reality this week when a Danco Transport truck pulled into town carrying the $23,000 set-up. 1998 Local kids were reported to have been chasing a black bear through the downtown core of Grand Forks. The Bear had been spotted in the area around Video Update searching for food. According to Ministry of Environment policy bears that come into town must be destroyed not relocated because over 90 per cent of relocation attempts end with the bear returning to settled areas. Residents are warned to leave the bears alone. 2003 A total of 901 American emergency firefighters and support workers have been working on the Togo/Galena Mountain fire, and as of yesterday it was close to 100 per cent contained. The evacuation alert for 70 residents of the Grand Forks area was lifted Aug. 25. 2008 A Boundary area resident has made a proposal to the Regional District of the Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) regarding the establishment of a “Homestead Village.”

Emcon workers try and figure out how to lift the semi tractor and trailer off of a concrete curb on Thursday afternoon.
Bear killed in collision with semi
A semi-tractor trailer was forced up onto the concrete curb of Highway 3 just east of Grand Forks after the driver hit a bear around 6 a.m. on Thursday. “The truck and trailer ended up east-bound up on top of the
no-post overlooking the river near the bridge by Roxul,” said RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. It took several hours for wreckers to get the unit down. During that time, traffic was reduced to single-lane. No other vehicles were in-
volved and no charges were laid, said Harrison. The driver sustained minor injuries to his wrists. The bear, however, did not survive the collision leaving behind at least one orphaned cub. — Gazette staff

Banning boredom
F
rom dropping dynamite to semi-trailers lodged on concrete guard rails, to an all eyes-on-the-air event at the airport to the region’s largest fall fair (although it still seems like summer), the week that was in Grand Forks was another fine slice of Boundary life. Geography can isolate many rural communities in B.C., and the same could be said for Grand Forks. But it can’t be said last week. There was no boredom factor at work in the area that bounds the city of Grand Forks, nor are there enough pages in one issue of a newspaper to adequately portray its weekly workings and happenings.

The Nordic Law - The Swedish experience
T
here is currently a campaign underway in Canada called Defend Dignity, an initiative of the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada. Defend Dignity exists to abolish prostitution and is asking the Canadian government to look at the Nordic law which was first implemented in Sweden in 1999. In essence, what the law does is penalize the buying of sex, while decriminalizing those who are being sold. The premise is that if there is no demand for purchases of sexual services, there will be no supply. Those leading this campaign, point to the fact that prostitution is violence against women, that prostitutes start young and are most often victims of sexual abuse as children. They also state that prostitution and poverty go hand-inhand. According to Shelagh Day, human rights advocate and founder of the Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund, poverty drives women into prostitution and keeps them there. Women usually enter prostitution to survive – to pay the rent, support kids, because they run away from home, or because they are not eligible for welfare. First Nations women are at the greatest risk for prostitution in our country.
ALEX ATAMANENKO
For example, 52 per cent of sex workers in Vancouver are First Nations women while only 1.7 per cent of the population in that city are First Nations people. The House of Commons Standing Committee on the Status of Women recognized that Aboriginal women are trafficked internally in Canada, and that their poverty, poor conditions on reserves, and abuses in their communities cause Aboriginal women to be Canada’s most vulnerable victims. First Nations youth who leave their home communities for urban areas are particularly vulnerable to sexual exploitation in that they are both homeless and in an unfamiliar cultural environment. Housing instability increases reserveto-urban migration, leaving young women extremely vulnerable to prostitution, in that homelessness has been established as a primary risk factor for prostitution. Sweden officially recognized prostitu-
tion as a form of exploitation and violence against women and children. By choosing to solely prosecute the purchasers of sexual services (predominantly men) rather than the prostitutes, Sweden is the first country to criminalize demand while decriminalizing supply. They have taken a firm position that prostitution entails oppression of women and is therefore an affront to gender quality, and as long as the prostitution of women and children exits, equality cannot be achieved. The Law on Prohibition of the Purchase of Sexual Services is the legislative tool applied to eradicate prostitution in Sweden. In addition to eradicating prostitution, the law was also proposed to bring about a fundamental change in societal attitudes. Children are taught in school at a young age that the purchase of sex is illegal and unacceptable, in hopes that the next generation will grow up considering prostitution a much more heinous offence than it is considered today. It appears that before the law came into effect, there were nearly 2,500 prostitutes in Sweden. This figure was cut in half within a year of the law being enacted. In Stockholm, street prostitution has been reduced by two thirds and the
number of purchasers (johns) of sex has decreased by 80 per cent. The government of Sweden published an evaluation of the law’s first ten years and how it has actually worked in practice and the findings are pretty positive. Street prostitution has been cut in half; there is no evidence that the reduction in street prostitution has led to an increase in prostitution elsewhere, whether indoors or on the Internet; the bill provides increased services for women to exit prostitution; fewer men state that they purchase sexual services; and the ban has had a chilling effect on traffickers who find Sweden an unattractive market to sell women and children for sex. Following initial criticism of the law, police now confirm it works well and has had a deterrent effect on other organizer and promoters of prostitution. Sweden appears to be the only country in Europe where prostitution and sex trafficking has not increased. Interestingly enough, the Government of Quebec is considering adopting similar legislation. Perhaps the time has come to have a discussion on the Swedish model in our country. Alex Atamanenko is the Member of Parliament for Rossland and the BC Southern Interior.

LETTERS LETTERS z KEEPING THE FAITH
A Gem of a theatre
To the Editor, On Sunday evening on July 28 at the Gem Theatre 75 people attended and viewed the film Hell and Mr. Fudge brought in especially as a community service by the Boundary Sabbath Fellowship. The movie, Hell and Mr. Fudge, is an honest yet very compelling presentation of Biblical teaching on the subject of the destruction of the wicked at the end of time. Its basis is on the faith journey of a “truth-seeking” pastor adds relevance for others who have been led to question traditional teaching about “an immortal soul in everlasting fire.” The viewer is not bombarded with a staggering list of “proof texts,” but may be inspired to study more deeply to discover what may be misconceptions of a powerful subject. The Gem owners, Marius and Maureen Paquet, most graciously offered the use of their theatre at no cost and desired that all proceeds go to local charity. Of the $525 admissions, half was delivered last week to the Boundary Community Food Bank, the other half going to Whispers of Hope. Needless to say, both were very grateful.
Grand Forks and district ought to be most thankful that there are still good folk who uphold honest, thought provoking and family values in film and other entertainment, and that they have a facility

To the Editor, Recently, 522 local citizens, of whom many were farmers from the surrounding area, signed a petition in support of a resolution to make Grand Forks a genetically engineered (GE) free zone. The petition was presented by the Agriculture Society to council at the committee of the whole on Monday, Aug. 19. This resulted in the following motion moved by councillors O’Doherty and Wyers and passed at the council meeting that evening: “Resolved that Council supports, in principle, the endeavours and initiatives of the Boundary Regional Agricultural Society with regard to a genetically engineered free zone for the City of Grand Forks, and further that, those members of Council who will be attending the 2013 Union of BC Municipalities, will consider the genetically engineered free BC resolution when voting at the 2013 UBCM convention.” Councillor Smith voted against the motion which has made Grand Forks the 62nd municipality to register concern about GE threats—such as the newly-developed genetically modified alfalfa and apples—to regular and organic agriculture. Councillors Krog and Wirischagin were absent. We believe this is a step in the right direction to make the Boundary region food secure into the future and we appreciate all those who worked on this campaign. Citizens who want to show their support for the provincial initiative can sign online at: www.gefreebc.wordpress. com/ or add their signatures to petitions available for the next week at the North West Trading Co and Pedaller’s Place on Market Avenue, as well as Dr. Salmon’s Chiropractic Office on Third Avenue.

Thumbs Up to Show n’ Shine Thumbs Down: to the pilot who flew to and fro on Saturday evening over the Fall Fair, mindlessly destroying the show for entertainers and audience alike. Thumbs Down: to the Gazette re: Back To The Wild West poor coverage in Aug. 14 issue. Especially having a photo of Mountain FM personalities (their names were printed but what did they do besides have a booth with a broken lemonade dispenser?) taken with ‘Back to the Wild West Day’ judges (whose names were not printed and what did they judge?) No coverage on awards. I waited for Gazette’s Aug. 21 issue thinking it might be covered there, but nothing, gone and forgotten. Thumbs Up: to the Gem Theatre for their awesome support of Back to the Wild West event. In my opinion, they were the biggest sponsor and went to great lengths for the enjoyment and participation of the public. I hope they received first prize for best business front display. Thumbs Up: for the girls who work at Jitterz; you rock. Thumbs Down: for business women in town who ban patrons. Thumbs Up: to Casey Hazard for donating a complete computer system to refurbish for lowincome families or a basic computer to introduce young people to computers. Thanks Casey for helping better our community pass it on. Thumbs Down: To the two girls who stood nearby as we waited in different lines at the gro-
cery store on Saturday morning. I saw one of you turn around, look right at me and then laugh for no reason. You nudged your friend’s arm and then you leaned over to her and whispered something that made her turn around to look at me. You both openly sneered, laughed and snickered right in front of me. I guess not everyone can be as gorgeous as the two of you seem to think you are. It must get tiresome to carry about such superiority over others. I know one thing for sure, I would rather be homely on the outside, than to be ugly like the two of you are on the inside. Thumbs Up: for people who walk their dogs with baggies to pick up after them. Thumbs Down: to motorists who continue to blow through stop signs. Thumbs Up: to organizers and sponsors for the “Show and Shine” in City Park. Very well done. Definitely on par with larger shows (eg. Barratt-Jackson) on a smaller scale. The variety, quantity and quality of vehicles were fabulous. Also, the organization seemed to be spot on. Hopefully, this is just the start of an annual event. Well done. Would you like to give a thumb up or a thumb down? Email editor@grandforksgazette.ca with Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down as a subject line. We could publish your anonymous submission.

City unveils new welcome sign; makes upgrades
CRAIG LINDSAY
Grand Forks Gazette
It’s a sign of the times. City council allocated funds for new highway signs in 2012 and, after going through the branding process (one of the projects identified in the Brand Marketing plan), council made the decision to have two highway signs created to be placed at either end of Highway 3. The signs are simple, incorporating the new brand for the city with the tag line “settle down,” and are lit up
at night through solar power. “The signs will become important landmarks that will welcome visitors and residents into our community, “ said Mayor Brian Taylor. “The community has recently embraced a sense of pride in terms of who and what we are. “These signs are the next step in Grand Forks saying, ‘We’re here and we’re happy to have you.’” Trail, swimming area upgrades The City of Grand Forks is continuing
IN BRIEF Fortis pulls plug on mediation talks Without even completing the first day of mediation between Fortis BC and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW,) the company has walked away from the table, dashing brief hopes that the eightweek lockout of almost 230 employees might be near an end. The breakdown in talks leaves the union on the picket lines preparing to make applications to the B.C. Labour Relations Board to expand their picket lines and look at a possibility of litigation. Hot times in the country Since April 1 the Southeast Fire Centre has seen a total of 260 fires, which have burned 515 hectares—the five-year average for this time of year is 256 fires. Since Aug. 13 there have been 62 fires in the Southeast Fire Centre. All of these were lightning caused and are burning in remote areas. Currently, there are 35 active fires in the Southeast Fire Centre. Despite this surge in wildfire activity, there are currently no homes, roads or other structures threatened by any of these wildfires. The largest of these fires is estimated at 200 hectares and is located on the northeast side of Duncan Lake. The majority of the other fires burning in the centre are spot-sized (0.009 hectares or less.) The Fire Danger Rating is mainly “moderate” in the Southeast Fire Centre, with several pockets of “high” fire danger in the Boundary, Kootenay Lake and Arrow fire zones. Ambassadors of recycling ElectroRecycle ambassadors Stephen Morgan and Krisandra Reid were in town on Aug. 6 where they toured the Grand Forks Bottle Depot. The stop was one of several the pair were making throughout B.C. during their tour. “We’re going around the province promoting recycling of small appliances and power tools,” said Morgan. “It’s the kind of thing that has many worthwhile materials in them.” Most small appliances like blenders or toasters often end up in the landfill, said Morgan. “We’re trying to get awareness out there that it’s definitely recyclable and it’s worth bringing in to your local bottle depot,” he said. Reid added that it’s very convenient for people to just drop off their old small appliances at the same time as they’re dropping off their bottles. For more info visit electrorecycle.ca.
In August, the access to Observation Mountain trailhead was upgraded to include parking and a visible and clear path-
way up to the trail. “Even the small projects can make a big difference to help beautify our community,” said Mayor
Brian Taylor. “We’re pleased that this work has been completed so our residents can enjoy these areas this summer.”

Police cordoned off a section of riverside drive.
But the man chose instead to transport the 35 sticks of dynamite in their vehicle, said Dale Heriot, fire chief and manager of emergency services for Grand Forks Fire Rescue. “We told him not to move it,” he said. “But he did. We also told him to call the RCMP with regard to dynamite because we don’t handle that but the RCMP does.” Grand Forks RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison said they received a call at around 11 a.m. “He had initially been transporting the dynamite but thought better of it,” Harrison said. “He called the fire department, who told him to contact us. We said, ‘Stop where you are. Don’t drive with a whole pile of dynamite that might be unstable. Any movement could set it off.” The man complied with the police and stopped the vehicle and took the dynamite out of his truck. Fire Rescue had to cordon off a section of Riverside Drive after the man was stopped and wait for the bomb squad to arrive, he said. “Unfortunately, he was right by Massey
Park,” said Harrison. “As a result of it … we established a safe zone and detoured traffic on Riverside.” The bomb squad (the Explosive Demolition Unit) from Vancouver arrived on the scene at approximately 6:30 p.m. and disposed of the sticks of dynamite. “They poured some liquid material on the dynamite, out it into a protective container, loaded it on the back of their vehicle and took it away for disposal,” said Heriot. Riverside Drive was open by 7 p.m. and the situation diffused without incident. “Our main concern at the time was public safety,” said Harrison about the incident. “I think between the city resources and ourselves we did move quickly to reduce any danger to the public.” Harrison said the suspect has not been charged but an investigation is ongoing. “Several statutes were obviously violated, not the least of which was the Explosives Act and certainly some other laws in regard to safe transportation and licensed transportation of explosive materials,” he said.

Welcome back...
Yes, summer really is over and a new school year is set to begin. It is always hard to believe just how quickly the summer slips away. I hope you have all had the opportunity to enjoy the spectacular Boundary sunshine, beaches and time spent with family and friends. This September there are many changes to the assignments of our leadership team due to retireTeresa Rezansoff, ments and resignations this past June. I thought Board Chair, I would take this opportunity at the beginning of School District #51 the school year to reintroduce you to the leadership team for the School District. At the School Board Office, Kevin Argue, former Principal of Perley Elementary, assumed the role of Superintendent of Schools in July. The Superintendent is the senior education officer and executive administrator for the School District. The Superintendent reports to the Board of Education. Jeanette Hanlon continues to serve the District well as the Secretary Treasurer. The Secretary Treasurer is the financial officer of the Board of Education, responsible to the Board and the Ministry of Education for financial statements, corporate records, minutes and procedural documents of the School District. The Superintendent and the Secretary Treasurer are the Board’s two corporate executive officers; together they guide implementation of all Board decisions through the education and business services of the District. Joining that team as Director of Learning is Doug Lacey, former Principal of Hutton Elementary. Doug also began his new role in July. Doug will have a number of areas of responsibility including among others; staff development, early years, Aboriginal education and is the Principal of Walker Development Centre. Joanne Gidney, a teacher at Perley, in addition to her teaching duties will take on District responsibilities for student services related to special education as the new District Vice-Principal of Student Services. Grand Forks Secondary continues to be led by Principal Scott Stewart where he is joined by Mike Phelan Vice-Principal, brand new to the School District. The Board welcomes Mike and looks forward to working with him. Christina Lake Elementary and Big White Community School has a new Principal, former Vice-Principal of GFSS, Shawn Lockhart. In addition, Shawn will continue with District responsibilities for technology software support. Marci Butler, former Vice-Principal at GFSS is the new Principal of Hutton Elementary and Bob Chapman moves from his Principalship of Christina Lake Elementary to Perley Elementary. The Principal for West Boundary Elementary and Beaverdell Elementary, Brian Foy will continue in that assignment but on a one-year trial basis will also assume responsibility for Midway and Greenwood Elementary schools. Brian will be supported by the addition of a Vice-Principal, Jennifer MacDonald, a West Boundary teacher who in addition to teaching takes on that administration role. Boundary Central Secondary continues to have at its helm, Principal Louise Bayles. The Board of Education for SD 51, Cathy Riddle, Vice-Chair, Trustees Vicki Gee, Ken Harshenin, Cindy Strukoff, David Reid, Rose Zitko and myself Teresa Rezansoff, Board Chair are confident that our schools, students, staff and communities will be well served by these educational leaders and we look forward to the coming year.

Grand Forks Gazette
On July 24 the Grand Forks Gazette featured a story on a foal that was attacked by a cougar on a ranch near Greenwood. Recently, the Gazette caught up with the foal’s owner, Ingrid Mathison, who said the young horse is still battling for its life, but is making progress. He is on a really strong antibiotic right now, Mathison said, to help address the residue of toxin that stays in the body from the cougar bite, but he seems to be doing okay. Mathison admitted she spent a lot of money on saving the foal, with several veterinarian visits and medications, but she would have it no

this foal, shown here recovering with her mother, was attacked by what is thought to be a cougar on ingrid mathison’s farm near Greenwood.
other way. “Some people would put him down, but I can see he still has a spark in his eye,” she said. “He’s eating and doing all the normal stuff horses do, so I’ll fight for him.” Mathison said there have been no other cougar attacks on her property. “The cougar must’ve been passing through. It was definitely a cougar. You can clearly see a vertical scratch (on the foal’s back),” she said. “Only cougars do that.” Mathison added her horses have been venturing farther away from her house, although they’re still fearful. And with good reason; the cougar may still be in the area. The owner of Joybilee Farm, which is in nearby Eholt, reported on Facebook she lost four lambs in a week and saw a cougar stalk goats in their pen. Local conservation officer Dave Webster has investigated both locations and said it’s not unusual to see wildlife encounters in those areas next to forest and wild areas. Webster figured the cougar at Joybilee came to the pen to investigate after hearing the baby lambs crying. The cougar apparently took off after the family came out.

Joke of the Week: A blonde gets lost in her car in a snowstorm. She remembers her father’s advice, “If you ever get stuck in a snowstorm, wait for a snow plow and follow it.” Soon a snow plow comes by, and she follows it for about 45 minutes. Finally, the driver of the truck gets out and asks her what she is doing. She explains the advice her father had given her. The driver says, “Well, I’m done with the parking lot here at the mall, now you can follow me over to the bank.”

Healthy water starts with healthy soil GRAHAM WATT
Home Ownershelping Homeowners™
Help Us Help Our Local
CHARITIES!
Kettle River Q and A
Soil is the foundation of healthy farms, forests, cities and watersheds. Yet we are failing, collectively, to take care of soil health and it is starting to catch up with us. Losing soil health is linked to a number of concerns in the Kettle River watershed. Our streams and rivers are carrying more silt, nutrients and pathogens. Storm water from intense rainfalls travels quickly over compacted soils and urban landscapes to pollute our streams. And nitrates and other contaminants infiltrate our sandy soils and contaminate groundwater. Globally, mismanagement of soils is threatening food production, harming coral reefs, releasing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and creating algae blooms and vast ‘dead zones’ in lakes and oceans. So what can we do? It turns out that taking care of our soils means learning about their hidden mysteries as ecosystems. “We need to learn how to give back,” says Sheila Dobie of the Grand Forks and Boundary Regional Agricultural Society. “Composting, growing cover crops to return energy to the soil and rotating crops so we don’t deplete it—there are many things gardeners and farmers can do to help the soil food web.” Recent studies show that soil contains one third of all of the world’s organisms. One teaspoon alone can contain billions of microbes of thousands of different types. When a leaf falls or a plant dies in healthy soil, earthworms and termites quickly tear it apart and consume it. Fungi and microbes continue the work and make the nutrients available to growing plants to continue the cycle. But modern, mechanised and chemical-based farming destroys the food webs in the soil, and rapidly breaks down the structure that keeps soil together. Heavy nitrogen fertilization and tilling literally burns off the carbon stored in the soil by stimulating microbes. In fact, nearly a third of the world’s cropland is losing soil faster than it is gaining. According to Lester Brown of the Earth Policy Institute. “Soil that was formed on a geological time scale is being lost on a human time scale.” Soil is also disregarded when developing urban areas, and it needs to be stewarded carefully on ranches and forestry operations to prevent erosion and loss of productivity.
We are pleased to announce that the local charity for the month of August will be the

Because of their knowledge of building soil without chemicals and pesticides, we can turn to organic farmers to learn more about restoring soil health. Organic farmers have learned to keep the soil covered with soil-building crops like fall rye, buckwheat and clover. Clover can even be inter-planted with other crops to give a boost of nitrogen to the crops, at a fraction of the cost of conventional fertilizer. Incorporating perennials, shrubs and trees in working farms can also reduce wind and water erosion and provide mulch and compost inputs for crops. “One of the biggest things we can do around here is composting,” says Dobie. “It breaks my heart to see us burning and polluting the air when all of that crucial organic matter could be returned to the soil, with even less work than burning.” Over the coming months, the Stakeholder Advisory Group will examine many ways of supporting healthy aquatic ecosystems and water supplies in the Kettle River watershed, including stewardship of the soil. Graham Watt is the coordinator of the Kettle River Watershed Management Plan for the RDKB.
If you shop on the last Friday of each month, a percentage of our sales will be donated to this charity!

here was a lot of talent on stage at the Grand Forks Fall Fair on the weekend, including recording artists Stonebolt, country artist A.J. Woodworth and fiddle champ Mike Sanyshyn, but the big draw just might have been local performer Amanda Thate. Thate performed her country songs in front of a loud, raucous crowd of family, friends and fans. The young star told the audience she was glad to be back in Grand Forks after recently moving to Vancouver to work on her career. The fair also featured events such as the mini-chuck wagon races, gymkhana, sack races, vendors, bouncy castles and a parade Saturday morning.
4 Bedroom home with 2½ baths located in Valley Heights. Completely finished basement, new roof and new paint throughout. Enjoy the piece and quiet of the backyard with the new patio area!! For more information and pictures visit: http://propertyguys.com/property/index/id/66432 Realtors Welcome!

At the Grand Forks Fall Fair this past weekend, Sunshine Valley Women’s Institute had an information booth. To add fun and interest at their table, they displayed a heavy metal thing-a-ma-jig and encouraged people to write their guess of its use on a piece of paper and drop it in the entry bag. At the close of the Fair on Sunday, several dozen entries were reviewed, with a variety of answers offered. It was interesting that several men gave the correct answer, as the item related to the forest industry, which has been prevelant in Boundary Country for decades. . The mystery item is a tool to put the set on the teeth of a crosscut saw, commonly callet a ‘saw set’ and was in use many years ago. Thanks to everyone who participated, and although there was no prize offered, congrats to all the men who knew the right answer.

“The fly-in is open to anyone that wishes to come down and have the experience of landing here,” said Ann Gordon, president of the Grand Forks Flying Association. Gordon said the draw for the pilots is the popular Elks pancake breakfast as well as the farmer’s market and the lovely area. “It’s just been excellent,” she said. “I’m thrilled at the number of (people) that have decided to come in.” On Saturday, the group played the movie Top Gun. “One of the marshals here was a graduate of the Top Gun Flight Academy in the United States,” she said.

Ice in means skating programs z GFREC Report
GRAND FORKS RECREATION
No doubt about it, zooming around on the ice is a fantastic way to embrace winter and get some exercise at the same time. I know it is much too early to be thinking about winter but with the ice back in and the activity level high at Grand Forks Arena this week, it certainly gets you thinking and feeling the chill in the air. The arena is busy with the Grand Forks Border Bruins hockey school and selection camp. Our drop in senior hockey schedule starts next week. Senior hockey 65 and over starts on Wednesday, Sept. 4 from 9-10 a.m. Senior hockey 55 and over will start on Tuesday, Sept. 3 from 9-10 a.m. Public skating sessions will start the week of Sept. 16. Tuesday afternoon Toonie skate will be held from 3:45-4:45 p.m. and Friday afternoon from 1:45-3:30 p.m., starting Sept. 20. Parent and Tot skate sessions will be held on Monday mornings from 10:15-11:15 a.m. and Thursday afternoons from 1:15-2:15 p.m. starting the week of Sept. 9. There will be no supervisor on the ice during these sessions and rental skates are available with no charge for these one-hour sessions. Adult only skates will be held on Wednesday mornings from 10:15-11:15 a.m. starting Sept. 4. This is a great time for adults to come out, lace up a pair of skates and get a great workout in on the ice. The drop-in fee of $4.70 applies. The Border Bruins start their season off with two exhibition games. Wednesday, Sept.4 they will take on the Osoyoos Heat, and Tuesday, Sept. 10 they will face the Beaver Valley Nitehawks. Their regular season game opener will be held on Thursday, Sept.12 against Spokane. The games times will start at 7 p.m. for the upcoming season. Come out and cheer on the local team and let them know the community is looking forward to a great year and supports the club. For information on all upcoming Recreation Department programs, please call at 250-4422202.

Christina Lake joins information age It’s official. CRAIG LINDSAY
TheForks welcome centre Grand Gazette
in Christina Lake has officially been recognized as an official B.C. information centre. Grace McGregor, electoral area C director, Sandy Mark, Christina Lake community coordinator, Christina Lake Tourism Society members and other members of the community were on hand at the Christina Lake Welcome Centre to raise the official information centre designation flag on Aug. 21. Mark said there had
been a concerted effort to look at ways to improve marketing of Christina Lake and its effectiveness as a community. “And one of the really important pieces for us is becoming officially identified as an official visitor information centre by the province of B.C.,” she said. Mark said, until now, the welcome centre, which had 12,000 visitors come through last year, had just been rated as a kiosk by the province, which limited the support it received.
“This will mean more for the community because now we’ll be able to present ourselves more broadly,” she said. Mark said the Christina Lake Tourism Society has been working for over four years on becoming an official visitor centre and staff was excited. “This is a big thing for Christina Lake,” said McGregor. “We all know when we’re driving on the highway that if we see that info sign, we know we’ll get the information we need.”

Stage two is now on deck for the Christina Lake Arts and Artisans Society’s (CLAAS) Christina Living Arts Centre CLAAS has begun fundraising and making plans for stage 2 of the centre, a studio centre and amphitheatre. Stage one saw the creation of the main building—which houses an interpretive centre and art gallery—opening on Aug. 6, 2010. “We need to get our money for matching grants to get our construction plans completed and then we can go for the big bucks as far as applying for grants,” said Bob Dupee, president of CLAAS. The society raised over $2 million in the first phase of the project. “We have a beautiful facility here,” he said. “It’s all green. And there’s no mortgage.” Dupee said the group will be turning its plans for stage two into construction plans to cost out the project as a whole. “We’ll have another $2 million to gather once we figure all that out,” he said. Dupee added that it was impossible to put a timeline on the project as it relied on fundraising and donations. On Aug. 9, CLAAS hosted a major fundraiser, Fiestaval, as part of the Kettle River Festival of the Arts. The event featured Mexican-themed food, a live and silent auction of donated art. Talented artists donated a number of items worth from $200 to $3,000, said Dupee. “All of these artists have believed in this project all along,” he said. “They want to help us create it—so they’ve done that with their own generousity. We’re really lucky to have the community that we have and it’s growing all the time with its focus on arts and culture.” Though not officially a part of CLAAS, area C director Grace McGregor has been a strong supporter of the Living Arts Centre. “This is an initial first step in: what are the plans? What are we looking at for money? And all those kind of things need to be answered,” she said. McGregor said the Christina Living Arts Centre is a wonderful boon for the region. “Those that understand economic development understand if you put art and culture in a community like this it brings people in and actually makes your community healthier,” she said.

Robusters rally new recruits JIM BAILEY
Trail Times sports editor
The Kootenay Robusters dragon-boat team is wrapping up its season with an eye to recruiting more paddlers for fun, fitness, and a little friendly competition. While Robuster numbers have been robust over the years, in recent months they’ve seen a considerable ebb in participating paddlers restricting the team’s ability to compete and even train at times. As a result, the Robusters are canvassing the area for paddlers and the best news: no experience—with paddling or breast cancer— is necessary. “Due to family commitments and non-paddling related injuries the number of paddlers has declined over the years,” said Robuster Debbie LeRose. The West Kootenay crew require 20 paddlers to race and a minimum of 14 to practice in addition to a steersman, and drummer. The team encourages all ages from teenagers to women in their 80s to come try it out, the only
requirements are a good attitude, the desire to join a great social group, with exercise and enjoyment the top priorities. The Robusters dragon-boat team originally formed in 2001 as a group of breast cancer survivors and associate paddlers from Trail, Rossland, Grand Forks, Christina Lake, and Castlegar. They excelled early, placing second in Kelowna’s Breast Cancer Challenge after just one month of training.

Course encourages community conservation of wetlands
SUBMITTED
Grand Forks Gazette
Members of the B.C. Wildlife Federation were in Grand Forks the weekend of June 14 to provide willing community members training in wetland
conservation. The training occurred over three days and involved a classroom component which took place at Selkirk College, as well as two days in the field at Boothman’s Oxbow. In the
classroom, members of the Christina Lake Stewardship Society, Boundary Invasive Species Society, Granby Wilderness Society, Kettle River Water Management Working Group, the RDKB, as well as other mem-
bers of the community learned techniques to map watersheds and identify aquatic invertebrates, along with a discussion on the importance of wetland ecosystems. The different types of wetlands were also
discussed—bogs, fens, marshes, swamps and shallow water— which are distinguished based on the presence (and amount) of water, soil type and the vegetation present. In the field, the participants listened to

bird calls and identified the species making these sounds, followed by a wade into the wetland to attempt to catch some aquatic insects and amphibians that were identified and set free. The second day in the field involved perfecting techniques for mapping wetlands using GPS units, the use of compasses, as well as procedures for studying the vegetation in and around wetlands. The participants
took with them a newfound appreciation of wetlands which are important for maintaining water levels, and filtering water, but also attract a myriad of different species from bugs to birds and all other species in between. These important wildlife ‘hubs’ are much less abundant than they were historically due to the impacts that humans have on these systems, including dredging and draining.

Cash call at Christina Lake
Heading west City now part of new federal riding
CRAIG LINDSAY
TIMOTHY SCHAFER
Over $43,000 in federal money was handed out for three projects in Christina Lake last week. John Duncan, minister of State and chief government whip, was at Christina Lake’s Bowling Green to announce Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) money for exercise equipment at the Christina Lake Bowling Green ($10,525), adding a new wheelchair lift for the Grand Forks Curling Rink ($24,800) and for modernizing the Grand Forks Aquatic Centre with new electrical panels and circuit breakers ($7,610). The funding was earmarked for existing recreation facilities that need upgrading, Duncan said, making them “shovelready” projects. “For our smaller communities, a relatively small investment can make a huge difference to people’s quality of life and that’s what it’s all about,” he said. Families and communities across the region will benefit
Grand Forks Gazette
Grand Forks Gazette
The people spoke and the federal government didn’t listen. An overwhelming majority of people in the West Kootenay region asked to not be divided politically when the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission toured through last October and proposed changes to the political boundaries. Through a series of town hall meetings, West Kootenay people asked the commission to respect geographical challenges—keeping together communities nestled in the same mountain valleys—and not separate neighbouring places like Castlegar and Nelson, grouping them with far off, larger centres of Penticton and Cranbrook, respectively. But the commission did not heed the request and elected to group Grand Forks and the communities of Trail, Castlegar and Rossland, and most of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, in with Penticton and parts of the Okanagan. Grand Forks will become part of the South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding, with the total population of the city and its far flung and fellow Koootenay and Boundary places not even equal to the population of Penticton alone at over 32,000 (2006 Census). What’s more confusing is the nearby West Kootenay communities of Nelson, Salmo, Kaslo and Creston will be looking east to Cranbrook as they now join the Kootenay Columbia riding. B.C. Southern Interior member of Parliament—that used to represent the entire West Kootenay and Boundary region—Alex Atamanenko, was saddened by the severing of ties. “I’m disappointed because when we had the public hearing process an overwhelming majority of people basically said they don’t want our communities to split up,” he told the Trail Times. editor@grandforksgazette.ca

gional District of the Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) said the projects would enhance and promote active and inclusive living in the community. Also joining Duncan and Mackey for the conference was electoral area C director Grace McGregor, who praised the efforts of the federal government in supporting local recreation. “There’s no way we can do this without help,” she said. McGregor said the money has already been received and spent on the new outdoor exercise equipment at the Bowling Green area. “We built our exercise park with that and we will hopefully add on to it each year,” she said. “People are already using it and sending us emails thanking us for doing it.” Both McGregor and Duncan took to the equipment for a small demonstration. For Duncan, the stop in Christina Lake was part of a tour through the Southern Interior. He praised the area and suggested it might be a possible future vacation destination.

Dora Ivanovna Pereversoff Dora Pereversoff was born on June 25th, 1913 in Grand Forks, in the Doukhobor Sion Community, by Spencer Hill, in the Horkoff village, to the family of Ivan and Malasha Pereversoff. Malasha’s maiden name was Popoff. She was the second child of a family of six children – sisters; Polly, Florence and brothers, John, Pete and Nick. Soon after her birth the family moved up the North Fork Area, to the Doukhobor community of Cidoroyoe, which means “Valley of the Cedars”, where they lived for several years. Then they moved to the community Christovoye, loosely translated, meaning “Place of Jesus”. This area was later referred to as the outlook District. Their family settled in the upper village, not too far from Saddle Lake. In their village lived the families of Lazeroff, Gretchen, Borisenkoff, Markin, Kootnekoff and Makortoff, and that is wherae basically Dora grew up and received her upbringing. Dora never attended any English speaking school and the Russian language she learned from within the family and the community. Mostly at that time people of the Doukhobor faith spoke only Russian. In 1960s, when the former Christian community of Universal Brotherhood lands were resold, Dora with her brother Peter bought some land on Outlook road, where they built themselves a home and lived there for 50 years until they both moved into Hardy View lodge in Oct. of 2012. In her younger years, Dora worked a little in the Okanagan valley, in the fruit and vegetable fields and also worked in several hotels in Grand Forks as a cleaning lady. For most of her young life and into adulthood Dora took care of the home and garden. She looked after the chickens and milking cows. Also in her time, she learned how to sew, knit and quilt from her mother, sisters and ladies in the village. Dora was dedicated to the Doukhobor way of life. She had a beautiful singing voice and knew by heart many verses of hymns and psalms. In her younger years she attended their community youth meetings, which were held two times a week through seasons of fall, winter, and spring. For 26 years Dora lived in the era of the Christian community of Universal Brotherhood and afterwards she was a life-long member of the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ. In their home the photos of the various Doukhobor leaders were displayed on their counters and mantle, which they truly cherished. She was dedicated to the Doukhobor faith and lived a modest, simple, Christian life. In July of this year, a 100th birthday party was held for Dora at the Hardy View lodge, where relatives, staff and friends gathered to congratulate her and see that she had adjusted well and was content with her life at the lodge. Some two weeks ago Dora’s health deteriorated considerably and on Wednesday afternoon Aug 14th, 2013, she peacefully passed away. Dora was predeceased by her parents; Ivan and Malasha, her sisters, Polly Makortoff and Florence Poohachoff, who passed away several days earlier than Dora; her brothers John and Nick. She is survived by her brother Peter Pereversoff, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Dora will be sadly missed by all and may God accept her soul into his heavenly kingdom. May she rest in peace! A funeral took place Monday Aug 19, 2013 at the USCC community centre with burial at Sion cemetery Grand Forks, Mr Jerry Seminoff officiating. The family wishes to thank those for attending and kind words. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Everett Baker of Grand Forks Funeral Home gffh@shaw.ca.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Morley Myles Reed. Morley passed away peacefully on Aug 21, 2013 at Penticton General Hospital. At his side were Yvonne, his wife of 46 years; his daughter, Renee Brenda Reed; and grandson, Devin Myles White. Morley was born on May 18, 1937 in Penticton, BC. He was the youngest son of Elsa and Henry Reed. Morley grew up in Beaverdel and Greenwood. Morley worked in the mining industry throughout BC and Alberta.

Ruth Redford Our dear loving, kind and witty Mom, grandma and great-grandma moved on up to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ at early dawn August 5th. Mom loved to bake, cook, and read,and also loved shopping and the city lights, even though she was a farmgirl from the Interlake, Manitoba. Mom was born in 1923 on the homestead at Breitkreitz Creek, west of Moosehorn. She grew up there with her parents Herman and Bertha Breitkreitz, her Grandma Wenzel and her 8 surviving siblings, Emma, Ida, Martha, Roy, Gust, Harry, Carol and Evelyn. Ruth stayed home several years to care for the ailing Granny and help her overworked Mother. Ruth finally left the farm and ventured to Churchill, Manitoba for work and there met her dashing Airman, Ray Redford. They married there and then were transferred several places during the Forces years. In 2003 their final move was made to Grand Forks, due to illness. Ruth grew to love the mountains but her heart was always at home in Manitoba. Ruth leaves behind her husband of almost 59 years, Ray Redford; Son, Dale (Nancy) Redford, daughter Sharon (Ed) Trainer, grandchildren Jim(Melissa)Redford, Brian(Vicky) Redford, Carolyn(Garett) Rogers, Dan Trainer, Arianna(Brian) Antrobus, Adam, Noah, Josh, and Mike(Hailey) Trainer and four busy great grandchildren. Our families sincerely appreciate all of the love and care given to Ruth over the past months. Special thanks to the sweet staff at Ivy House and Silver Kettle. Mom could not have received better care elsewhere. Final thanks to the Baker Family and those who joined us to lay our sweet Mom to rest. Until Then.......

Registration is open for the fall season with the Boundary Youth Soccer Association (BYSA). “With the first games scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 8, time is of the essence,” said Tracy Davies, technical director with the association. “Ideally registration will be done by Sept. 3 so that coaches and teams can get at least one practice in before the six-week season starts.” Teams are kept small so kids are on the field and not watching.

A DAY IN THE LIFE – MORNING
Life in Grand Forks KARL YU
Contributing Editor
What makes Grand Forks, Grand Forks? Is it the borscht? Is it the Grand Forks International baseball tournament? Is it the landscape and the scenery? Is it the residents? From the Grand Forks Gazette’s perspective, the answer is all of the above and more. On Wednesday, Aug. 14, Gazette photographers roamed the streets of the city from about 7 a.m. to around 8 p.m. capturing images of
random events that occurred. Things that happen in a given day – people going to the post office, walking down the street – and things that happen on any given Wednesday in the summer – Music in the Park, firefighters training. The images have been compiled and published in this snapshot of daily life in Grand Forks, or a day in the life of Grand Forks as it were. Enjoy the tiles that make up the mosaic of what is Grand Forks.
