1914 The installing of the machinery for the new steam laundry was being completed and the laundry would open for business early next week. The laundry was located in a building adjoining the cannery from which the steam was obtained.

1919 The Grand Forks branch of the B.C. Seedgrowers’ Association was organized at a well-attended meeting at the court house with C.A.S. Atwood elected president.

1924 The first regular meeting of the Women’s Conservative Association of Grand Forks was held Tuesday night when organization was completed with Mrs. C.M. Kingston as president.

1929 Several motor cars full of gypsies reached town and at the suggestion of the mayor, the provincial police had them shift their activities elsewhere.

1934 Gladys Clark was chosen May Queen of Sunshine Valley, with Jean Dondale and Mary Woodward as maids of honor.

1939 Grand Forks had a throwback to ‘wild west’ days when Cst. R.H. MacIntosh uncorked a volley of pistol shots to halt a fleeting burglar.

1944 After its mysterious disappearance some weeks ago, the old school bell turned up and its ringing replaced the

1949 Construction on the new Manly and Miller Funeral Home was started on the site across from the post office.

1954 Several licences were granted by city council, among which were the following: to Bill Ralph, a licence to operate a flower shop; to Mark Soon, a licence to operate a confectionery store; to J.T. McMannis, a licence to operate an auto electric shop.

1964 Christina Lake residents believed that the Alaska earthquake affected the lake. They based their belief on shoreline markings that showed that water had risen and lowered a considerable amount, and on the great quantity of floating debris.

1974 The Granby Mining Company is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, having started construction of its smelter in Grand Forks in 1899.

1979 Making up for lost time, downhill skiers of the Boundary Country headed to Phoenix on the weekend as the hill went into in a late opening of the local ski season.

1994 A crowd came out to the Grand Forks Arena to see the old guys beat the new guys 9-6 in the Border Bruins Alumni Flo Varibioff Scholarship game.

1999 A 1975 Trans Am was burned to a crisp while secured in a fenced parking lot at Grand Forks Secondary School.

Mugsy XXXXX (orange and white) and Au (orange and gold) are two Koi fish who live at Christina Lake. They both started out much smaller but over several years have grown much bigger and their colours have matured a lot more. In the winter they reside in a large home-built tank while in summer are put out in a pond in the garden to enjoy their natural surroundings. They are both gentle and kind fish who love to be fed.

Regional district grapples with issue of long-term illness CRAIG LINDSAY

At work in AreA D

The regional district is looking at new legislation that will avoid having to pay a salary to regional district directors and their alternates simultaneously in the case of illness.

The legislation is expected to avoid additional costs when an elected director (who is paid) falls ill and requires an appointed alternate director to step in for a length of time, during which time the alternate would be paid.

Regional District of Kootenay Boundary chief administrative officer John MacLean said the board is enacting new legislation which will prevent the doubling up of salaries in the future. “The board has adopted some policies regarding remuneration of directors,� he said. “It sets out who will get paid and for how long if a director is off sick.�

That legislation won’t affect rural Grand Forks Area D director Irene Perepolkin, who suffered a stroke in January 2013, and her alternate Roly Russell.

MacLean said that Perepolkin is on sick leave and it is up to her to decide when she returns, but her illness happened before the legislation was enacted, leaving her exempt. “She is the sole determinant of when she returns,� he said. “As soon as she feels she can assume all of the duties, she can come back to work. We can’t prevent her.�

MacLean said the previous legislation was clear, stating that a director is removed from office if they miss four consecutive meetings without the permission of the board, except in the case of illness or injury. “Since director Perepolkin has been ill, it doesn’t apply,� he said.

Since Perepolkin is on leave and could return, she is being paid fully by the RDKB for the position, along with Russell.

After Perepolkin’s stroke, Russell filled in immediately and has been at the board table ever since. “I filled in with her at that point and I’m still there,� he said. “She’s recovering. She’s getting better. That’s always the hope. As soon as she is feeling capable and ready to get back to work then she will return.�

Russell said he talks with Perepolkin occasionally. “I have at this point the responsibility for the decisions,� he said. “Any legal responsibility falls on me, so I have to be satisfied with my due diligence for being able to act in the manner I want to act.�

Perepolkin told the Gazette she is feeling much better and would like to return soon. “I’d like to come back anytime,� she said. “I’d love to. I don’t know what else to do.�

RDKB board chair Grace McGregor said Pere-

Roly Russell said he is currently busy with several issues and projects including coming up with the Official Community Plan (OCP). “It’s an interesting struggle from my perspective, trying to identify the best way to get input from the public about the OCP or any issue that comes up,� he said. “I’m sitting as the Area D chair, representing the constituents, but I need to know what they want so I can act on it.�

Russell said he’s often on the phone talking with constituents and has started to delve into social media as a way of getting in touch with residents. “I’m still getting my feet wet on that,� he added. “With the OCP we had an open house and we’ll have more of those things. But that doesn’t capture a lot of the population.�

The OCP, which will be a 10-year document, is expected to be released in draft form this year for comment, and adopted in the following year. “That document will help guide the development of a new zoning bylaw which we will evaluate if we have the proper zoning regulations set up,� he said.

Despite the difficult circumstances, Russell is enjoying his first foray into politics. “I like it a lot,� he said. “One interesting thing to be is I hear a lot of murmuring about distrust about the RDKB being heavily Trail dominated in terms of decision making. But my experience so far is that the board is very equitable and reasonable.�

Russell said one person in the RDKB has no authority without the support of the board. “I can bring whatever recommendations I want to the board, but it’s up to them to approve it,� he said.

polkin can come back at any time. “If she’s comfortable with it, that’s totally up to her,� she said. “When she’s ready, her chair is there. We have never said she can’t come back.

The decision is completely up to her.�

McGregor said the new policy on paying directors will allow for three months of medical leave and then only one director is paid. “That’s the new policy,� she said. “Irene’s issue happened before the policy, so she’s exempt.

It’s been a long, long discussion on what do we do from the standpoint of making sure alternates, or whoever steps in, get paid for the time they spend. “You can’t expect them to go on and on without getting paid. It’s a lot of work and a lot of travelling. After a couple of months we said, ‘We don’t know how long this will last. We need to make sure that Roly is compensated’.�

McGregor said they will be asking the province for help and some guidelines to help regional districts through future situations that might come up. “With no rules whatsoever, we were wondering what do we do with this,� she said.

Perepolkin was re-elected to the Area D director position in 2011 to a three-year term. Every elected director must name an alternate who fills in case of illness or other absence. The appointed alternate must be approved by the RDKB board.

Meters a done deal

M

onday’s city council meeting in Grand Forks was longer than usual with seven residents stepping up to speak against the water meter installation project. All the speakers had interesting points and good questions which council and staff answered as well as they could have. But with such a large project, there are plenty of questions.

The week before, on Jan. 22, 120 residents showed up for an open house on the water meters and got a chance to ask questions directly to members of council and city staff members. Some of the concerns brought up by residents were fears of radiation stemming from the meters.

These are many of the same fears around smart meters that are being installed around the province. Another concern for many people was the worry that water rates will rise, particularly among those who choose to go ‘green’.

Doug Allin, city administrative officer, assured the residents at the meeting that the city, and council, would study the results of the first year of the water meters and the mock billing period before coming up with new rates. They will also decide if it is prudent to have a special ‘green’ rate for those people who want to grow their own food.

Other speakers asked whether the water meter installation was just another ‘money grab’ from the city. Several residents told council that a referendum on water meters should be added to the next election. This seems highly unlikely, as the city has already sent out the request for tender for water meters. Once the selected bidder is chosen, installations will begin.

So, barring any last minute Hail Mary switcheroos, water meters are coming to Grand Forks. Whether you like meters or not, it’s clear the city has done their homework and not rushed into the decision.

The water meter plan has been looked at for several years by council and staff, and has been researched thoroughly through several different engineering studies.

With Grand Forks’ residents consuming more than three times the national average of water, it’s clear something needs to be done. Despite having access to lakes and rivers in the Boundary, our access to water is not limitless nor is it free.

Bieber needs to learn a lesson in celebrity second opinion

W

JIM HOLTZ

ho doesn’t like The Bieb? Apparently, more and more people, as the 19-year-old Canadian pop star and teen idol is finding out.

Yes, young Justin is learning that fame can be fleeting.

He may soon find out that fortune can also be fleeting as his hangers-on, body guards, lawyers, agents, managers, advisors and enabling father suck dry the pool of cash that he now enjoys.

He should learn a lesson from my second cousin, Justine Barbowski, from Des Moines, Iowa. Justine was also an idol for a particular

age group, not pre-teen girls in her case, but men over 70.

Polish men, mostly, but German and Austrian golden agers liked her too, and even some geriatric Italians from the Tyrol found her irresistible.

For them, Justine was the Polka Princess. She sang, she yodelled, she played the accordion, and she could really dance!

Not just the polka, either, but a variety of European folk dances as well. She was the complete package. It didn’t hurt her reputation that she also had a shapely figure and china doll complexion.

Alas, just as Justin has been lured into bad behaviour by associating with second rate rappers, coke heads and unsavoury characters, so Justine soon fell in with a bad

crowd.

Before she reached her 20th birthday she began hanging out with loud, boisterous, beer swilling, sausage eating bimbos and their boyfriends.

She was photographed in a bar hurling pickled eggs at a policeman and was arrested for punching a street vendor who refused to serve her a second Polish sausage in a bun after she threw the first one at a TV camera crew.

Yes, Justine was out of control, and even when her fans tried to intervene by sending her messages begging her to change her behaviour, she continued her downward spiral.

Within months she had taken up smoking, put on 30 pounds and ruined her complexion. Her manager stole the remaining money she had

and, instead of performing before thousands in crowded convention centres, she ended up playing before a handful of old men in tired Legion halls and retirement centres.

Before she was 30, she was finished. Her last performance was at a private birthday party for a 100-year-old Polish sea captain. He booed her.

So young Justin, take heed. Money, fame and glory can all vanish in an instant.

The boyish looks can flicker and fade. In no time you can end up looking like aging Elvis: a pudgy caricature of a once great entertainer. And then those low-hanging pants you love to wear will look very unappealing.

Don’t be a Justine, Justin.

Letters

to the editor

The meatatarian has landed

To the Editor: Rather than bifurcate on the GE/GMO file Councilor Gary Smith (letter 08/01/14) should rather expand on the health benefits of the Roundup antibiotic herbicide in food, drinking water and on community park lawns.

That he take it upon himself to finally set Dr. Suzuki straight in genetic matters? We await such a manifestation of supraintelligence on his part. That too will help us grasp what he actually believes.

As an elected official, Smith’s behaviour, “how to act or what to do,” is up for review as soon as it is, or is perceived to be contrary to the best interests of this community. The tune of his 20-year-old Roundup song and dance is wearing thin.

An entire Boundary dairy industry was shut down in the mid-20th century because of Dieldrin, another antibiotic pesticide. It too was promoted by some peddler of death to bugs as a sine qua non to the perfect crop until it showed up in the milk. Put that one in your hat, Smith.

Twenty years ago countless surface wells were condemned

in the valley because of nitrate contamination and remain so to this day. Nitrates are fertilizers still used in crop enhancement and related to multiple maladies when ingested. In your hat, Mr. Smith.

As a real estate agent in Grand Forks Councilor Smith should give his head a shake.

These environmental events do nothing positive for that market or for the wellness of our community. Of late, glyphosate, the active ingredient in the Roundup antibiotic herbicide, is showing up in European (Spain) groundwater samples and at levels exceeding the levels of quantification. Glyphosate is linked to 20 adverse health effects including birth defects, infertility and cancer.

Smith may well have anointed himself Monsanto front man in Grand Forks, he is, however, about to get a lesson from another “agricultural orientation” as the swinging doors of history determine what manmade poisons need be abandoned.

Finally from Smith’s hat, was that “meatatarian” with or without ketchup?

Thumbs Up to sunsets

Two thumbs up for Tinsel’s rescuers.

Thumbs down to those that go for a walk with two or more people and think the road belongs to them, refusing to move off the road when vehicles approach. Seriously, just not thinking or are you that arrogant?

Big thumbs up to Jayz Wayz Floral Art for all the beautiful flowers they sent to Silver Kettle Village. We haven’t stopped getting compliments on them, especially the fork card holders. Love them. Thank you again and good luck in your new business.

Thumbs up to the gorgeous sunsets.

Thumbs down to the Gazette for printing “novels” in the thumbs up, thumbs down sec-

On being homeless in Grand Forks

To me, this offers the possibility of expanding the limits of my otherwise small and isolated world, and offers the promise of connection.

PETER MATHESON

For the Grand Forks Gazette

D

ear Thumb’s Down, I read your Gazette ‘Thumbs Down’ submission regarding the couple with dogs taking up space on the sidewalk in a recent edition of the paper. Although it’s on a different subject, your letter sparked a reaction in me that I would like to share.

I had the opportunity to meet these young people and their dogs in front of Overwaitea and I experienced them as intelligent, talented, articulate, industrious, engaging … and homeless.

I’ve been troubled about the prevalence of homelessness in Grand Forks for some time, and I’m appreciating that your courage to express your concerns has inspired me to express mine.

I’m disturbed when I hear discussions about ‘homelessness’ being a choice of the lazy, entitled and uninspired. I am excited when I hear discussions of creating supportive alternatives for those experiencing the upheaval of homelessness.

Jack Layton, a pioneer in addressing homelessness, once commented, “The word ‘homeless’ so clearly expresses a human condition that it’s hard to imagine anyone would have trouble understanding what it means.”

Without a home and reasonable resources, it is quite difficult to manage a job interview.

Being freshly clothed, having a showered body, shampooed hair and high self-esteem are hard to manage without a home. Without a dedicated phone and address it is difficult for an employer to make contact if a job does open up.

Without a home it is difficult to assure an employer that those needs could be met each morning before work, if a job is offered.

I am so proud to be in the Boundary community where countless volunteer hours, a supportive council, and outstanding agency collaborations have provided a cold weather shelter where the homeless and disadvantaged can escape the long, cold and lonely nights of winter. Showers, laundry, TV, snacks, safety and a warm bed are provided to guests at no cost and no obligation.

Whispers Of Hope and the food bank provide nutritious meals, while various agencies, volunteers and church programs provide cloth-

ing, comfort and respect to those experiencing adversity.

As a volunteer at the Cold Weather Shelter I am moved to tears when I consider the empathy and community spirit that so lovingly and respectfully support those who have suffered incredible disruption and misfortune in their lives.

As I talk to the guests at the shelter I am constantly reminded what a short step it is for any of us into homelessness. This could be me. As Margaret Atwood has stated, “Today’s homeless population includes an alarming number of children, mothers, families—people like us.”

I have been told by guests at the shelter that we could contribute to their well-being if we would talk to them, or at least smile at them when we pass them on the street.

To be invisible, judged or feared is very depressing.

My prejudice has many faces and is usually erased when I allow myself to truly get to know the other. I consider true listening as a willingness to let the other person change me. When I’m willing to let them change me, something happens between us that’s more interesting than argument.

I am also reminded to engage empathetically with the diverse members of my community that are not equally as privileged to enjoy my (relative) wealth, wellness, colour, mental health, social status, education, safety and security.

It’s difficult to imagine the flood of feelings I would experience if speculations on my circumstances, behaviour or finances were submitted for debate in the local newspaper, without first having been approached for my own account. I am so fortunate and grateful to live in such a compassionate and supportive community in which each person can ultimately be accepted, sustained and valued.

Empathy is often described as the ability to “walk a mile in another person’s shoes”—that is, to imagine what it would be like for me to be in your situation. I often find this to be a most difficult, but ultimately rewarding, challenge.

To me, this offers the possibility of expanding the limits of my otherwise small and isolated world, and offers the promise of connection.

Thank you, Thumbs Down, for expressing your community concern and for inspiring me to do the same.

Every part of the body functions better when bolstered by healthy living strategies such as these: • Eat a diet high in vegetables, whole grains and good fats; avoiding refined foods. Choose organically grown options, whenever possible.

Choose to add garlic, onions and Tumeric to your healthy winter soups!

Tumeric is a potent anti-inflammatory for the whole body. Many experts now see inflammation arising from an immune system response that’s out of control. When you catch a cold or sprain your ankle, your immune system switches into gear.

Infection or injury trigger a chain of events called the inflammatory cascade. The familiar signs of normal inflammation—heat, pain, redness, and swelling—are the first signals that your immune system is being called into action. Stay ahead of this reaction by adding Tumeric to your diet.

Did you know that turmeric is a fantastic natural way to beat that cough that has been troubling you for so many days? Simply mix a spoonful of turmeric & a dash of ginger & a little honey, in hot milk (coconut, almond, oat or soy) and drink it down. The hot milk eases the throat and the turmeric fights infection in the throat.

Making a green drink four to seven times a week is beneficial to everyone’s body. Fresh organic veggies juiced or blended together are packed with concentrated nutrients. Organic dehydrated greens and protein powders mixed together make a healthy breakfast! You don’t have to go on a juice fast to reap the benefits of green drinks~ Spiralina, Chlorella, Seaweed and sprouted greens, set up in a balanced ratio, are available at many health oriented stores.

• Exercise regularly. We know it is cold outside, but bundle up and walk on non-icy areas!

Snowshoe, ski, do yoga, jazzercise, go to the gym, do stretches, go ice-skating! Outside is a good place to spend part of each day~ Walking is a natural way to exercise our body!

Get adequate sleep and reduce stress. This is sooo important to beat the bugs we exchange!

Especially children from five to 12 years of age.

TEN hours of sleep is optimal. This will help the body build resistance to contagious bugs at school. A simple way to strengthen the Immunity! And parents get a bit more time for relaxing too... a win win situation!

• Oil of Oregano, rubbed into the bottom of the feet, is good for children. And homeopathic anti-cold flu preparations work wonders.

Adults, the hours before midnight are said to be most beneficial for rest- bed at 10:30 anyone?

Stress reduction- exercise and meditation are key to lessening stress.

Kids can meditate along with their parents before bed~ a good way to release & relax! The benefits of meditation are proven to enhance immunity and reduce all types of stress.

Less stimulating beverages and taking B vitamins are also helpful.

L-Theanine, GABA , Rescue Remedy, St. Johns Wort and other herbs are natural remedies for stress.

• Supplement your diet with a high quality multi-vitamin and adequate vitamin. D. This will ensure you are getting at least the base requirements, when our foods aren’t as fresh or locally grown.

• During the winter, take a multi-strain probiotic. Probiotics are friendly bacteria that are normally present in the intestine, but can be disrupted by poor dietary habits. It has been found that 80% of the immune system is located in the digestive system, so maintaining a healthy gut is a major focal point in a healthy body. This helps build up your immune system.

• Use herbal remedies, Echinacea and Elderberry extract. In clinical trials, Elderberries have shown anti-viral and immune boosting properties. Available in capsule form, or as a delicious tasting juice or syrup, Elderberry extracts can be enjoyed by every member of the family to support and secure the body’s natural defenses.

Making healthy choices can help you maintain optimal health throughout this winter season~ And don’t forget to ask your health food provider questions.

Biopuncture can best be described as “the marriage of acupuncture and homeopathy”—a simple idea that is revolutionizing patient care on a number of fronts.

This advanced acupuncture technique has been developing for almost 30 years now, with major contributions from France and Germany, as well as the far East.

Using a very fine needle, the biopuncture practitioner treats acupoints—specific areas on the body known to create predictable healing reactions—both by manual needle manipulation and the superficial injection of homeopathic solutions, amino acids, or vitamins.

Biopuncture is a fine example of the sum of the parts being greater than the initial ingredients.

For example, a recent controlled study of 60 patients with diabetic neuropathy demonstrated a 63.3 per cent effective rate with electroacupuncture alone, compared with a 90 per cent effective rate in the group that used both electroacupuncture and injections of methylcobalamin—a type of B12 known for its benefits to nerves.

The efficacy rates for drugs traditionally prescribed for peripheral neuropathy pale in comparison, and come with long lists of potential side effects that do not enhance your life.

While the mechanism of action appears baffling at times, homeopathy has persisted as a popular complimentary technique because of its inherent safety: adverse reactions are incredibly rare, while treatment outcomes are surprisingly excellent.

When homeopathic substances are injected under the skin, they bypass the gut and go immediately to work.

I witnessed a treatment during a training class where a young woman with severe eczema was receiving tiny droplets of a homeopathic solution

around the nasty, itchy, red rash on her hands.

Twenty minutes later, there was no sign of the rash, and the itching was completely gone.

I asked her how she felt, and she told me her hands felt “as though they were floating on air”.

The smile on her face was enough for me.

Some examples of very successful biopuncture treatments include allergy desensitizations, hormone balancing, acute injuries such as sprains or bruising, chronic conditions such as back pain or arthritis, migraines, weight loss and depression.

In all cases, biopuncture can and should be combined with conventional therapies such as counselling, diet, and exercise.

Your biopuncturist should be advised of any medications you are taking, so that s/he can ensure that everything is comparable and works together like it should.

Biopuncture belongs to a growing family of acupuncture injection techniques, also known as “AIT” or “PIT.” These include neural therapy, trigger point therapy, prolotherapy, and intrarticular injections, to name just a few.

Acupuncturists here in BC. are embracing these techniques in growing numbers because of their efficacy.

This has prompted changes in legislation that will define and protect these techniques as well as the people who use them.

This work is currently in process—great news for patients in B.C.—because this means that our government regulatory bodies agree that these techniques work, they are safe, and patients need access to certified practitioners.

The insurance companies are already ahead of this, and we’re seeing doctors from many other disciplines trying to jump on board as well.

It is a relatively new area of practice, but keep your eyes peeled for more front page news coming up this year.

Working together is the future of health care and the benefits are for all of us.

Physical activity will help you start the New Year in good shape and you’ll look better as well!

Let’s get in shape this year SUBMITTED

Grand Forks Gazette

After the copious meals and late nights of the holidays it can be pretty hard to return to a healthy lifestyle.

Luckily, by resuming healthy eating habits and some form of regular physical exercise we can repair the damage to our bodies.

The best way to get started is by eating lots of vegetable soups that are rich in vitamins and avoiding high-fat foods such as sauces, fried foods, and desserts.

Taking the time to sit down and eat slowly creates a low-stress mealtime that rewards the appetite and is good for digestion.

It will also allow you to better control the amount of food you consume.

Catching up on your sleep is also crucial to staying in shape!

Daily exercise

Doing some form of exercise on a daily basis will also help you to regain your vitality and boost your mood.

It will also protect your cardiovascular system, preserve bone density, improve brain function, and limit weight gain.

Start moving by choosing the stairs instead of the elevator, parking the car a block from work, or dancing for 20 minutes to music you love.

Gradually work up to daily walking, hiking, or swimming.

Pleasure To stay motivated, it is recommended that beginners start with short 15-minute sessions, once or twice a week, and gradually increase the frequency to three 30-minute sessions per week.

Don’t forget that pleasure is an important factor in keeping new resolutions.

Be sure to warm up before starting any physical activity and avoid pushing yourself if you feel any pain. So, on your mark, get set, go!

Time to ban flavoured tobacco products To the Editor: Chocolate, cherry, peach, mint and vanilla. Treat or trick?

Though they may sound like treats, these are flavours of tobacco we want to see removed from the shelves in 2014.

In honour of Canada’s National Non-Smoking Week last week, it’s time we said goodbye to the brightly packaged, highly addictive, candy-coated carcinogens.

Youth are the biggest users of flavoured tobacco, but what

may be surprising is that youth are also the biggest supporters of a provincial ban. Recent polling reveals 81 per cent of B.C. teens aged 15-18 agreed the B.C. provincial government should adopt legislation to ban all tobacco products with fruit and candy flavours.

An additional 74 per cent of B.C. adults (18 and over) also supported a ban on flavoured products.

Flavoured tobacco products carry the same health risks and

are just as addictive as regular tobacco products, though their candy-like packaging suggests otherwise. Tobacco use claims the lives of more than 6,000 British Columbians each year and it’s completely preventable. It’s time for a change.

Help stop smoking before it starts by asking the B.C. Health Minister to take action and create a provincial ban of all flavours of tobacco products.

Patti King, Canadian Cancer Society

The real low down on climate truths To the Editor: It’s time to stop the ongoing hysterical ranting of your opinion columnist.

He quotes the UN IPCC latest report, which he neglects to include the fact that only 77 “scientists” signed on to it.

The other couple of hundred scientists refused because the conclusions denied the actual facts.

Also, the truth about photosynthesis—where plants produce oxygen in daylight hours and CO2 during hours of darkness—torpedoes the bad guy image of CO2.

tion engines produce carbon monoxide, so they have nothing to do with C02 either.

The recent global warming expedition to Antarctica, which sole purpose was to prove the melting of sea ice in that region, was again proven false in their embarrassing entrapment in the ice, which was six times the norm.

The list goes on.

Some climate truths: • With the globalwarming/climatechange alarmist narrative collapsing, the warmists are becoming desperate in their attempts to suppress or manipulate the truth.

• Just because climate is changing

does not mean that our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are now responsible for something which has been happening since the beginning of time.

• In fact, the evidence for rejecting the anthropogenic, globalwarming hypothesis is overwhelming.

• The following graphs document some climate truths that clearly demonstrate the lack of support for the CO2-induced, globalwarming hypothesis.

• Global temperatures: Global warming stopped more than 15 years ago.

We now appear to be experiencing a cooling cycle, consistent with historical cycles.

• Sea ice: Arctic

sea ice is well within natural variability. The extent of Antarctic sea ice is at a record high level. Antarctica is home to 90 per cent of the planet’s ice.

• Sea level: Current variations of sea level are well within natural variability and show no evidence of an accelerating rate, which is required to support the CO2-induced, global warming hypothesis. In fact, the rate may be decelerating.

• Extreme weather: Contrary to reports by the mainstream media, we are not experiencing more violent storms. The intensity and frequency have been decreasing.”

H1N1

Continued from Page 1

“What’s nice is that it appears to be on the downswing. Our influenza H1N1 has peaked for this year. Our interest now is in preventing further cases and prevent a second wave of infections for those who have not been immunized.”

Corneil said that if people are feeling symptoms of influenza such as cough, body aches and fever, they should certainly see their family doctor first.

“We also encourage people to call 8-1-1, the nursing healthline, to see if treatment is warranted,” he said.

Corneil said IH can provide people with anti-retroviral treatment, which will slow down the symptoms, decrease the length of the disease, and decrease transmission to other people.

“We’re quite lucky this year that people have been very interested in the flu and have used up all the immunization doses we’ve ordered including the extra five per cent each province has in stock,” said Corneil. “We have ordered additional vaccines and those are being distributed across the health authority region. The best place to call is your local health unit to see if there are still some available.”

Corneil said the H1N1 strain is included in this year’s flu shot and was expected.

“What’s different about this year is that there’s been a number of younger people who have been sick and ill and in some cases died from the influenza directly,” he said. “That has increased interest in the influenza virus. But it’s certainly not a year that is any different than was expected.”

Mistrial declared in case against alleged City Hall arsonist CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The judge in the case against the man accused of setting fire to Grand Forks City Hall has declared a mistrial.

Andre Conn, a 31-year-old Grand Forks man, is charged with break-andenter, arson, possession of incendiary materials, and possession of break-in instru-

ments in regards to the fire on Sept. 19.

The proceedings in court were subject to a publication ban, so details were unavailable.

A mistrial is a courtroom trial that has been terminated prior to its normal conclusion, carrying no legal effect and is considered an invalid or nugatory trial.

The fire caused extensive damage to the heritage building which housed much

of city staff and services.

City staff have had to relocate and work out of different locations throughout Grand Forks as the building is being repaired. The next scheduled court date for Conn, who remains in custody, is Feb. 28 in Rossland Provincial Court.

On Nov. 25 Conn was charged in connection to the fire that burned City Hall and was classed by police as arson.

Looking for a new place to put your passion?

Consider getting involved

Grand Forks Credit Union (GFCU) has been around for 65 years serving our members – who live near and far. We are a member-owned financial co-operative. Each and every one of our members makes a difference to our well-being – both as a locally owned and operated company and as citizens living and contributing together within our communities.

Imagine, if you will, the 19 original founders of our credit union meeting at the Grower’s Exchange one summer evening and contributing $30 each.

Granted its charter on August 22, 1949, the Credit Union started attracting attention. Within a year, 50 members had joined and assets were over $400. Today, we are almost 9,000 members strong with more than $210 million dollars in assets providing a full range of competitive financial products and services and continually re-investing into our communities.

What would the Boundary be like if the credit union had never been born – or suddenly disappeared today? From the beginning, our job has been to make a way for regular people to access financing to help them live their dreams… originally for farmers and small business. We’ve stayed true to our purpose, continuing in the tradition of the cooperative movement.

What is GFCU looking for in its prospective candidates?

GFCU needs leaders who bring with them a broad range of skills and attributes that strongly align with our values and that support and strengthen the current Board’s ongoing commitment to implementing our strategic vision.

Did you know…?

Credit unions, called by various names around the world, are member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperatives that provide savings, credit and other financial services

to their members. Credit union membership is based on a common bond, a linkage shared by savers and borrowers who belong to a specific community, organization, religion or place of employment. Credit unions pool their members’ savings deposits and shares to finance their own loan portfolios rather than rely on outside capital. Members benefit from higher returns on savings, lower rates on loans and fewer fees on average.

Credit unions worldwide offer members from all walks of life much more than financial services. They provide members the chance to own their own financial institution and help them create opportunities such as starting small businesses, growing farms, building family homes and educating their children.

Regardless of account size in the credit union, each member may run for the volunteer board of directors and cast a vote in elections. In some countries, members encounter their first taste of democratic decision making through their credit unions.* *WOCCU.org website excerpt

Boundary Dog Sled Classics a howling success Race Results JIM HOLTZ

Grand Forks Gazette

Fifteen mushers from two states and two provinces divided $10,000 in prize money at Jewel Lake on the weekend competing in the Boundary Dog Sled Classics Sprint Races.

In a meeting early Saturday morning between the mushers, the race marshal, race organizer and event veterinarian Dr. Ruth Sims, it was decided that the low snow levels and the resulting icy trail conditions had left the race trails unsafe for the dogs and mushers.

In a little over an hour the trail crew was able to create a rudimentary race trail on the lake surface itself.

“It was a lot of work,” Sims said after the event was over on Saturday, “but with the help of our volunteers, in particular Rick Matsalla and John Jacob who had help prepare the original race trails, we were able to quickly shift the event to the lake.”

In the end, the two-day event attracted several hundred spectators of all ages.

Although shifting the course on Saturday delayed the start of the race by one hour, those in attendance were rewarded with a series of timed starts that sent teams of enthusiastic and athletic dogs and mushers around the 6.4-kilometre (four mile) circuit in speeds that sometimes exceeded 30 km per hour.

Three-dog sprint Raijo Easterbrook, First, $800 Cheryl Sheppard, Second, $500 Richard Hancock, Third, $250 Four-dog purebred sprint Hans Appelman, First, $1,000 Rob Fradette, Second, $700 Nancy Harland, Third, $350 Four-dog open sprint Brenda Birrell, First, $1,000 Linda Pierce, Second, $700 Cheryl Sheppard, Third, $350 Terri Nash, Fourth, $100 Six-dog sprint Dina Lund, First, $1,200 Cheryl Sheppard, Second, $900 Tom Palmer, Third, $600 Two-dog skijoring Raijo Easterbrook, First, $800 Hans Appelman, Second, $500 Christine Bialkowski, Third, $250

Joanie Holmes tells a story to the crowd at the Tell me a Tale event at gallery 2 on Jan. 24. The event was put on by the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy along with the Writer’s Guild and Riverside Storytellers to celebrate Family Literacy Day and featured several speakers telling stories about family.

Although there is only a smattering of snow left on the ground, winter is still in full effect and that means Winterfest at Christina Lake.

No one is really sure of when the annual Winterfest celebration began at the Lake, but it’s been around for many years.

The event, which is put on by the Christina Lake Community Association along with the Christina Lake Chamber of Commerce, goes from Thursday, Jan. 30 right through to Sunday, Feb. 2.

Winterfest kicks off with open mic night at the Welcome Centre starting at 7 p.m. on Thursday.

“Lisa’s Bistro is serving up food and people are invited to come out and play,” said coordinator Brenda Augé. “We have a good bank of singers and performers here at the Lake as well as from Grand Forks.

On Friday, action switches to the community hall where

sno-pitch starts as well as outdoor youth/adult pick-up ball hockey.

“Inside the community hall, we’re going to run a family movie night at the same time,” said Augé. “So if you want your kids to watch a movie while the teens are playing hockey and the adults are playing snopitch, it’ll all work out.”

Saturday starts out with a pancake breakfast starting at 8:30 a.m. followed by more ball hockey and sno-pitch as well as other indoor and outdoor kids and adults games, all at the community hall.

On the last day of Winterfest, Sunday, those brave enough to endure the cold water will join the polar dip which goes at 12:30 p.m. Following that is a Try-athlon featuring ski, snowshoes, and ‘dog’ races.

“We don’t call it a polar swim, it’s a polar dip,” said Augé. “You don’t have to swim, you just have to get wet. It’s by the creek. The creek is still open and accessible to the Welcome Centre.”

The Try-athlon is open to anyone, said Augé. “We will have some cross country skis and snowshoes available, but, of course, if people have their own equipment that would be ideal. It’ll just be in the park behind the Welcome Centre.”

Augé said the association will be holding a draw after each event as well as at the end on Sunday for everyone who has participated in Winterfest.

“We’re trying to get people more involved in activities,” she said. “We’ve got prizes donated from local businesses that will go to the winners.”

Augé said the event is sure to be a lot of fun.

“It’s just a great opportunity to participate in the community and have fun together,” she said. “Last year we had almost perfect weather and I’d say we had about 75 per cent of the population of Christina Lake.

Hopefully, this year we’ll get even more participation with everyone. You don’t have to be an expert, you just have to come out and have fun.”

Districts review medical pot rules SHERI REGNIER Trail Times

When the federal government rolls out new legislation that will end mom-and-pop pot farms and grow the medical marijuana industry into a commercially licensed business, local jurisdictions won’t have much say in the matter if the plants are rooted in B.C.’s Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

The current system of personal use licences and designated licences will be phased out in a few months, and new federal licences geared to large scale production and distribution facilities will be established under Health Canada’s Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulation.

“Most of the lands that are zoned agricultural in the RDKB 04 6:20 AM Page 1 are within the ALR,” explained Mark Andison, general manager of operations for the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB).

“Local governments are not permitted to prohibit ‘farm use’ in the ALR through their zoning regulations.”

Beginning April 1, medical marijuana production will be considered a farming crop, and

Water

along with related accessory uses such as the drying, processing and packaging of the product, permitted in the ALR. Locally, the Central Kootenay’s regional district was first on board to endorse the changes when its board passed a resolution last May, confirming medical pot operations would be allowed in areas zoned agricultural or fall within the ALR. But, according to Andison, no official resolution is required, because licensed medical pot production is permitted by the province’s land statute under the Agricultural Land Commission Act, and local governments do not have any discretion to prohibit that use even if they wanted to.

“There is no reason for the RDKB board to pass a resolution,” he said. “In the RDKB, medical marijuana production is permitted as a form of agriculture and in various agricultural zones within in the region.”

However, part of the regional district’s ongoing review of its long range plans includes consulting with various rural communities to determine whether specific restrictions should be imposed upon this

Continued from Page 1

Isenbecker, who takes a lot of pride in having a nicely kept lawn, said that if that was the case, he would rather just sell his house now.

“I don’t care about the water meters as long as they give us a lower rate for keeping everything nice and green,” he said. “If they charge too much for the water I have to do something about it.”

There were a lot of concerns about how much people would be paying on the metered system, said councilor Neil Krog at the event.

He said people asked him, “I’m on a fixed income, how is this going to affect me? Am I going to be able to sprinkle my lawn and my garden?”

Most of the questions he fielded were from senior citizens, he said.

“It’s that fear, I guess. Not a fear of change but a fear of something new. This has been a boogeyman for years, anytime it’s been mentioned.”

Krog said the city received a good deal of written feedback with many good questions.

Water meter installation in Grand Forks is expected to cost close to $1.3 million, which will be funded mostly through money from the federal Gas Tax Fund.

The city is looking at issuing a request for proposal for qualified contactors who could begin to install the water meters in Spring 2014.

For one year, Grand Fork citizens would receive a mock bill. The city is expected to review the water usage of residents before determining the final rate structure. It is estimated that “real” billing would start in 2016.

The main impetus for Grand Forks to have water meters is to help the community save water. As one of the poster boards at the forum stated, Grand Forks’ water consumption is 720 litres per day, well above the Canadian

form of agriculture.

Those restrictions may include regulatory provisions such as minimum setbacks from property lines, fencing requirements, or requiring production to move indoors.

“While local governments may impose such restrictions, they may not prohibit the use outright,” he explained. “It is considered to be a bona fide farm use.”

Before applicants can advance a request to Health Canada for a commercial grower’s licence, they must first notify the local government about their intent to submit an application to the federal regulating body.

“We have no way of knowing whether these will be considered viable applications in the eyes of Health Canada,” added Andison.

To date, there are two applicants within the RDKB with high hopes of using the ALR to commercially farm medical marijuana. One is near Rock Creek and the other, from a rural area near Grand Forks.

Although, Trail hasn’t discussed the new Health Canada regulations, the city may have to, because an area on the outskirts of the city is zoned ALR.

IN BRIEF Projects come in over budget Greenwood City Administrator Robin Dalziel told council at their Jan. 14 meeting they should expect projects covered by Towns for Tomorrow and General Strategic Priorities Fund (GSPF) grants to come in over budget by some $28,000 to $30,000.

Both grants were announced in 2011. The Towns for Tomorrow grant was for $519,250, or 100 per cent of actual eligible costs of the Water Distribution Leak Reduction Project. For the past few years city crews have been kept busy repairing breaks in the aging waterlines.

The GSPF grant ($394,400) was for 80 per cent funding for a well replacement/rehabilitation project. He explained that the overruns were caused by a combination of errors made during planning and by the inclusion of a much-needed creek crossing in the budget.

Soil stability along Dundee Street was one problem. The trench had to be made wider at the top so the sloped sides would meet WorkSafe BC standards. Because the engineers were working with dated drawings the depth of some of the waterlines was unknown.

The unwelcome news of a project running over budget doesn’t necessarily mean an increase in local taxes, however, as water infrastructure can be covered by Gas Tax Fund revenue which local governments receive each year. Mayor Nipper Kettle said that last year the city received around $150,000.

“It is going to be funded through that avenue,” said Dalziel. “So whether it is a small amount or a large amount it is not like we are going to have to raise taxes to make up the shortfall.”

He said the GSPF grant has repaired numerous leaks in the city water system and the city should see significant savings in electricity costs for the water system pumps.

Meting out restorative justice

Going postal on the ‘rink’

Frank Triveri photo

This is the “skating rink” that has to be negotiated by Canada Post patrons who are required to pick up their mail at this particular set of Grand Forks mailboxes, wrote in Grand Forks resident Frank Triveri last week. “Please, note that there isn’t a grain of sand on the ice sheet!” he said. The photo was taken on Jan 22, for the sake of public safety, and the boxes are located on 24th Street.

Swap meet planned for children’s items There will be a swap meet for children’s items in Grand Forks at Perley Elementary on Saturday, Feb. 22.

Clothes, toys, beds, books, high chairs, sports equipment and more will be included in the meet.

Kettle Valley Racing Association Presents

5th Annual

Snowmobile Drag Races

f you are like me, you read the police briefs column in the Gazette each week to find out what criminal activities are going on in our community.

But afterwards, for some reason, I feel a bit depressed.

Either there has been damage done but no suspects found, or else there have been charges laid but I sense it is unlikely that justice and healing will follow.

Having thought about restorative justice for the past few years, I wondered what “Police Briefs” might look like if we shared some stories about incidents that had been dealt with in a more restorative way.

The Gazette has provided us an opportunity to do this.

Restorative justice practices vary all over the world because they are developed by each community and reflect the values of that community.

Nevertheless, the idea that individuals can take responsibility for their actions and that communities are capable of coming together to repair harm is common to all programs.

Since confidentiality is an important part of restorative justice, most of the stories that we share will be from locations other than Grand Forks.

Nevertheless, they are all true incidents.

RICHARD TARNOFF

In a court ordered case in London, a young man, at risk of an offending lifestyle, was given employment by a small charity, which struggled financially to provide services to him and his community.

He was able to gain access to their bank accounts and drew out a substantial amount of cash.

This was discovered and the matter went to court since a serious breach of trust was involved.

The sentencing guidelines indicated that a prison sentence was inevitable.

The judge realized that no party would benefit from this: the money would be lost, the offender would likely re-offend, the charity staff would have no redress, and the community would pay for his incarceration.

The judge had some experience of the experimental use of restorative justice, and after discussion with the probation service, a probation worker with

restorative justice experience was found.

The judge used a suspended sentence, with a condition of an activity order that specified victim reparation, and so a restorative sentence was passed.

The victims (the staff) initially rejected any apology or contact.

They needed the money back and could never now trust words alone. The facilitator was able to help the offender trace the remains of the money.

The family and friends rallied around to find the rest and the money was paid back in full.

After watching a videotaped recording of an apology, the staff were able to see that it was genuine and eventually requested a meeting with the offender.

The trust could not be fully mended, but all parties had benefited and moved on.

The judge was able to follow progress through periodic reviews at court, which reinforced the offender’s resolve. The offender remained employed and there was no eventual loss to the community.

Phoenix Mtn. Racers mine medals NANCY GABRIELSE

For the Grand Forks Gazette

The Phoenix Mountain Racers are back in action again this year, bringing home medals in their first two races at Red Mountain (Jan. 19) and Whitewater (Jan. 26).

Justen Smuland and Jennifer Shields nabbed bronze and silver medals in the U14 boys and U12 girls categories at Red Mountain.

At Whitewater, Phoenix dominated the U14 boys category taking the two top spots: Seamus Carlyle, gold and Justen Smuland, silver.

A great team effort netted the Phoenix racers third place overall at both Red

and Whitewater.

Coach Bill Ahrens was clearly impressed with the performance of all the racers.

“These kids focused and worked super hard on technique this year,” he said. “I’m very proud of all of them and happy for those kids on the podium as well.”

This year at Phoenix the Nancy Greene Program was an intensive one-month Saturday program with an added “all-mountain” component for intermediate and advanced kids in the afternoons.

“We decided to try a new format this year,” explained coach Astrid Kihl, “to give the kids more well rounded skills

Bruins still in hunt for playoff berth Grand Forks Gazette

Despite a big win over Nelson, the Border Bruins play-off hopes got a little slimmer after losing two of three games this past week.

With 11 games remaining for the Bruins this season, the team is six points back of the Spokane Braves for the fourth and final play-off spot in the Neil Murdoch division.

“We’re in a great spot,” said a confident Kevin Flather, coach and general manager of the Bruins. “We’ve got to learn from our mistakes. It’s better that we (stumble) now, early in the play-off stretch. There’s on need to panic. There’s no need to start pointing fingers. We just have to fix what’s wrong and address it and move forward.”

On Sunday, GF had a chance to move within two points of the Braves with a win in Spokane.

However, the surging Braves crushed the hapless Bruins 6-1 led by three points from Tyler Peltram.

Scoring the lone goal for the Bears was Tucker Brown, who tied the score at 1-1 with six seconds left in the first period.

After that, it was all Spokane as the American squad scored five unanswered goals for the decision knock-out victory.

The surging Braves have now won five of their last six games and are only

one point behind Castlegar for third place in the division.

The Bruins do have four games in hand on Spokane, but their window is slowly shutting and the team will need to put together a good streak down the stretch to catch them.

On Saturday in Nelson, a different Border Bruins squad showed up. The Bears once again had the Nelson Leafs’ number as the Leafs, the third place team in the KIJHL, lost 5-2, this time on the road in Nelson. The Bruins balanced attack saw five different scorers, with Connor Gross, Nathan Cory, Michael Rand, Max Newton and Coleton Dawson lighting the lamp.

GF was down 2-1 heading into the third period in the hostile Nelson Community Centre. Defenceman Cory tied the game at 16:15 assisted by Mitchell Dolman.

Rand, assisted by Gross, put the Bruins ahead at 9:46.

The Bears withheld the Leafs’ pressure and put the game away with two late goals, at 1:30 from Dawson, assisted

by Cam MacLennan and Rav Shokar, and at 0:42 from Newton assisted by Lucas Robinson and Graham Watkins.

Dominic Stadnyk was in goal for GF and stopped 30 of 32 Leaf shots.

The Grand Forks Border Bruins lost their second game in a row on Wednesday after giving up two late goals to the Osoyoos Coyotes to fall 6-5.

The teams were tied at 4-4 heading

into the third period.

Lincoln Lane put GF up 5-4 with a goal at 14:37 of the third, assisted by Max Newton and Brandon Savaia.

Aaron Azevedo tied the game only 20 seconds later for Osoyoos paving the way for Colten Braid’s game winning goal at 9:57 of the third for the Coyotes.

Stadnyk was in goal for GF and stopped 49 of 55 shots.

The game was originally set for Midway but was moved to Grand Forks in hopes of a bigger crowd.

With 140 in attendance compared to 150 in Midway the last time, it appears that plan may not have succeeded although the game against Osoyoos was mid-week as opposed to the Saturday game in Midway.

The Bruins control their own destiny, said Flather.

“We play Castlegar three times next month and Spokane once,” he said.

“It’s in our grasp, we just have to go to work.”

Flather said the team is focused on making it to the playoffs where anything can happen.

“We don’t need to worry about standings or how other guys are doing,” he said. “We just need to focus on what we do day in and day out and prepare.

We’ve got our work boots on and we’re going to work.”

The Bruins hit the road this weekend, playing Columbia Valley in Invermere on Jan. 31 and Golden on Feb. 1.

Friday’s Puzzle Solved Last week’s puzzle solved

fun spot

What a difference a new year can make.

After the Grand Forks Secondary School Grade 8 boys basketball team suffered a onepoint defeat, 29-28 against Stanley Humphries (Castlegar) in their season opener on Dec. 11, head coach Sean O’Brien made sure his group of athletes knew to expect different in 2014.

“We played such a terrific game it was important the boys knew a scoreboard will not always dictate success,” he said.

“Being a very competitive person by nature, I could tell that the boys felt like they let me down, while nothing could have been further from the truth.”

It was back to the drawing board and back to three intense practices a week, bringing home the importance of fundamentals, seeing the floor and not playing with their heads down—and most importantly playing unselfish, team-oriented basketball.

Whatever has been dis-

cussed and practiced since that one-point loss must have hit home.

“We were discussing winning and losing after our first game, and I explained how it is we are going to view our success,” O’Brien said.

“You have to keep in mind, this is the very first dose of high school competitive sports for these kids, so expectations and understanding are at a different stage in every single boy.

“So what it is I have told them is seek to be better than the day before after every practice, every game, and we won’t lose again this year.”

These words seem to have struck a chord with the team.

On Tuesday, GFSS walked into Castlegar’s gym and walked out with a resounding 40-18 victory.

Twelve boys from the 17man roster travelled to Castlegar for the game, and the tighter bench allowed for more even minutes, and a better basketball product.

The standouts included Sam Foy who controlled the tempo of the game from the point

guard position, Liam McKinley who was an offensive juggernaut and Noor Sibat, the team’s starting centre who knocked down two three-pointers, giving him three in total on the season.

“Last week’s experience, where Noor, Liam and Sam travelled with the junior boys, has really made a difference.

It’s given them some more minutes, exposed them to bigger/ faster competition, and now I am reaping the rewards,” said O’Brien.

“My passion to coach has been rewarded with an incredible group of passionate and talented young men. I truly couldn’t be happier.”

The goals for the remainder of the season are simple, said O’Brien.

“We aren’t losing again this year, so it’s to win the West Kootenay,” he said.

It’s obvious that the new year has made a difference, much larger then one point, O’Brien concluded.

The Grade 8’s play their next home game on Wednesday, Feb. 12 against Midway.

In a very physical game, the Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS) junior girls basketball team overcame a slow start to defeat Stanley Humphries Secondary (SHSS) of Castlegar on Wednesday.

With both teams shorthanded due to sickness and exams, SHSS got off to a quick start going ahead 5-4 after one quarter.

With some good passing and strong defence, the Wolves eventually got going, pulling ahead 12-7 after the first half.

The second half was all GFSS as the girls

Special year shaping up for 4-H clubs in the Boundary

MARIJKA van KUIK Grand Forks Gazette

The new year is here and with it a new year of 4-H. This year is a special one. Last year was the 100th anniversary of 4-H in Canada, this year is the 100th anniversary in B.C. The Boundary has been participating in the program for 68 years.

In 1946, district agriculturalist Fraser Carmichael started organizing a beef club in the Boundary. Steers were bought from Val Haynes, one of the first cattle ranchers in the South Okanagan.

There were approximately 12 members in the club at the time. Eventually the club became so big they split it into five sections (A-E), which is why we are still known as the Boundary “C” 4-H Club. At that time each section had 10-12 members raising and showing steers.

In 2010 we became a multi-club with beef, horse and clothing projects. This is our second year with photography as well.

On Saturday, Jan. 4, the Boundary “C” 4-H Club held its first meeting of the year. We have 25 members, five of whom are seniors and 20 who are juniors.

Our beef leaders, Pete and Shauna Blaine, will be helping nine members with their projects.

While all nine will have a steer, some of them will also be working with heifers and cow/calf pairs.

Doug and Erika Fossen are continuing to lead the nine members who have horse projects. These members are constantly working on their riding skills, as well as learning how to use horses to work with cattle.

The sewing group is also growing: Juanita van Kuik will now be working with nine sewing members. The sewing girls will be working on a quilt for the auction at the Cattle Baron’s Ball.

There is no photography leader this year but three members from last year will be continuing.

The members will be self-directed which means they will have to search out their own resources to meet the unit requirements, and Jen MacDonald will be overseeing them.

Greg and Jen MacDonald are the A leaders in

Edna Mildred Robertson It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Edna Robertson on January 26, 2014 at the age of 98 years. She was predeceased by her husband James in 1997 and by her parents, Marvin J. and Clara May Scott, and three brothers and four sisters.

She is survived by her son, James Marvin(Arletta), her daughter Shirley Ann and possibly by her daughter Parma Jean whose whereabouts by choice are unknown.

She is also survived by two grandchildren and their families and by several nieces and nephews.

Edna was born in a granary in Tugaske, Saskatchewan and later moved with her parents and family to Grand Forks, B.C. where she received all her schooling.

She married her high school sweetheart and some time later he joined the R.C.A.F. and as they raised their family, his postings took them to live in many different places across Canada and the Yukon Territory, eventually returning to Grand Forks.

Along with her husband, Edna was involved in many aspects of Grand Forks life, such as a taxi service, a corner store, the museum, the Thrift Shop, even taking on the duties of the Mayor’s Wife. Edna was an ardent Bridge player and spent many happy hours with friends around a card table. She was also a talented seamstress and knitter who produced many beautiful articles for family and friends.

The family wishes to thank the Board members and the staff of Phoenix Manor for their loving care while Edna lived there, and also the staff at Hardyview Lodge for their care and concern during Edna’s stay and final days there. A memorial will held at a date to be announced.

the club, meaning they keep us all in line. So if you have any questions about the club and what we’re doing, they’re the people to talk to.

If you did the math you will find our club has 25 members and 30 projects, because some members are doing more than one project.

Re-Orientation mural unveiled at GFSS CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Grand Forks Art Gallery hosted a blessing ceremony and documentary film premiere last Wednesday for the Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS) art class mural entitled Re-Orientation. The ceremony included a drum circle as well as speeches from artists and school representatives.

The mural took about three months and was a collaboration between native artist Terry Jackson, Aboriginal education supervisor Wanda Hecht, and the GFSS art students under the tutelage of teacher Jan deHaan.

“This art project started last year when we invited Terry Jackson in to do an art mural with Jan deHaan’s class,” said Hecht. “It was an amazing project because we saw different students who didn’t get along and worked individually come together. By the end, they were all working shoulder to shoulder with people they hadn’t spoken with before they started.”

Hecht said the project received a $7,000 grant from ArtStarts which enabled them to bring in multi-media artist Chris

Bose from the Gulf Islands Film School to help film a documentary on the project.

“That was amazing because we’ve tried to send students there but it’s quite cost-prohibitive,” said Hecht. “To have him here, we were able to reach more students. Nine students worked with film editing, filming and learning different techniques that they didn’t know before.”

The mural was designed by Jackson, who resides in Rock Creek. The students put it through the computer and built the tiles which were then put together for the final product.

“It was an amazing accomplishment for the whole district,” said Hecht. “We saw the Aboriginal community contribute lots of hours and time with their support. We also got lots of support from our school district. I think it’s a win-win situation.”

The mural was blessed by First Nations elder Joanie Holmes, who smudged the mural and the video.

“In Aboriginal culture we bless when these objects are put out into the public and they have a new life,” said Hecht. “There’s a blessing ceremony to send all the good thoughts that we have

while we’re producing it and while we’re exhibiting it.”

The mural will permanently hang in the hallway in the art gallery with a plaque with all the students’ names.

Grade 12 student Gavin Kinakin was one of the students involved with the video, Re-Orientation. He enjoyed getting the chance to work with Bose.

“I had started a YouTube channel two months before the project. When this project came out I thought this might be some good experience so I offered to be the editor,” said Kinakin. “(Bose) taught me Premiere Pro and how to work it. From then on, he kind of let me go on my way.”

Kinakin said he learned a lot

in the two weeks he worked with Bose. Before starting his YouTube channel, Kinakin said he hadn’t done much film editing but he has a strong technology background.

“It was pretty awesome getting to work and see how everything is done,” he said. “I got to see the different backgrounds of the town with the native history.

It was a really good experience.”

Kinakin said he was worried with how the video would turn out but in the end he was quite happy with the final result and the feedback he received.

Grade 12 student Shantelle Bron contributed as well by making a few tiles and managing a social media blog.

“It was something fun to do,” she said. “It was an interesting and unique part of the project.

It’s important to get your work out there. It was fun to immerse ourselves in it.”

Bron was very pleased with how the mural turned out.

“I love it,” she said. “I think it looks really professional. I’m glad to have been a part of it. It was nice to have something that we all worked on.”

Another Grade 12 student, Timothy Blair, was a key force behind the project.

“I thought it was a good project to come together,” he said.

“For me it was a positive thing.

It’s something to look back on in future years.”
