For the dozen or so anti-water meter proponents in attendance at city council on March 24, Councillor Michael Wirischagin gave them a little hope as he put forward a motion to hold off the installation of water meters until 2015 as originally stated in the city’s handout.

The motion also stated that the meters should be optional.

Wirischagin questioned the legality of having workers enter a homeowner’s house without their permission to install the meters. “Yes, all communities are heading towards water meters but very few are looking at them universally,” he said. “Vancouver, Kelowna and Castlegar all have them, but have made them voluntary and on new builds only. There were no concerns from any of them about losing grant money.”

Wirischagin went on to add that the city • See WATER METERS page 8

Extreme weather shelter closes doors for season CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Grand Forks’ cold weather shelter is closing for the spring on March 31.

Boundary Emergency and Transitional Housing Society (BETHS) had a successful first year in the new Multi-Agency Accommodation Project (MAAP) building they share with Whispers of Hope and Habitat for Humanity Boundary.

BETHS chair Jim Harrison told the Gazette that the shelter has seen a much steadier number of users than previous years when it was located in the Grand Forks Christian Centre.

“The extreme weather shelter usually operates from Sept. 1 to March 31,” Harrison said.

“The new location went extremely well. We averaged about between four and five people every night throughout the season. Last year we would have nights where we would have absolutely no guests arrive. This year we haven’t had a single night with no guests. It’s been used every night.”

Harrison attributes the extra use mainly to the new location and its array of new services.

“Part of it is (because of) the new shelter and

location and the fact that we’re not in the church,” he said. “We also have some extra services like showers, TV, cable, and that kind of thing. We’ve made it more comfortable for people. Plus we do have the ability to keep pets with people in the shelter which we couldn’t do before. So there is a number of things which add up to make things a little better for the guests and made it more inviting.”

Harrison said it’s also advantageous having Whispers of Hope soup kitchen in the same building.

The shelter keeps people off the street and out of the cold, which can be very dangerous.

“The purpose of the shelter is for extreme weather—if they were to try to sleep out on the street they’d be physically in danger and possibly even die,” Harrison said. “Having a shelter where they can go to and receive food and shelter is a big plus for the community.”

He said they have not received any complaints from nearby neighbours regarding the shelter. He did say over the winter the RCMP was called out twice to deal with minor incidences inside the shelter, none of which led to any charges.

“Those were dealt with very well by the staff

there,” he said. “That’s not unusual. You get people in a distressed situation and you’ll get the odd temper flare up. No charges were laid.

RCMP was just called in to keep the peace.”

BETHS has two people on site each night while the shelter is open from 8 p.m. until 8 a.m.

One is a paid staff member, while the other is an unpaid volunteer.

Harrison said the shelter was able to open and operate throughout the winter based mostly on donations received from local businesses and private citizens.

“When we started off the season, we were projected $55 per night that we would have to pay just to keep the shelter open,” he said. “That did happen; however, local donations helped us absorb that cost. In addition, had it not been for our volunteers, we would not have been able to keep our doors open at the shelter. Our biggest, grateful thanks to our volunteers who put in countless hours working for the shelter in volunteering their precious time.”

Harrison said the board will be looking back at the season to evaluate what improvements can be made.

Fitness park will be ready for summer

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks recreation complex will soon be adding an outdoor fitness park as well as a demonstration community garden.

At the March 24 city council meeting, Grand Forks City Council approved a license of occupation which allows the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) to move forward with their development plans for the installation of the project.

“It’s a regional district project,” said Mayor Brian Taylor. “It’s going into that piece between the east end of the pool and the skatepark. Our permission was to use a 100-square-metre piece of land to give them enough room for the whole installation.”

The outdoor fitness park will be a linear design featuring 12 to 14 pieces of outdoor equipment.

“We have ground preparations still to do but we’re hoping to have it all up and done by the end of June,” said John Mackey, manager of recreation and facilities. “The financing and everything just got approved last week when the regional district budgets were approved.”

The equipment is expected to cost $35,000 and the total cost of the project will be around $55,000, said Mackey.

The fitness park will by a 300-square-metre (10m by 30m) project in total.

“All our quotes are in (for the purchase of the equipment), so we just have to finalize the selection process,” he said. “We’ll install it ourselves like we’ve done in the past.”

Mackey said the outdoor fitness park will be a great addition to the facility and the community in general.

“It’ll handle all ages,” he said. “It’s for the whole community. Kids can use it. It’ll be wheelchair accessible. We want to keep people active. It’s a popular trend across the country.”

Mackey added that the outdoor fitness park will be tied in to a demonstration community garden.

“We’re looking at building a demonstration garden around the back of the aquatic centre and having it wrap around the building and incorporating part of the fitness centre as well,” said Mackey.

The demonstration garden is still in the preliminary, planning stage but when completed will beautify the area and allow the community to plant an edible landscape with lawn and trees.

Graham Watt, project coordinator for the Kettle River Watershed Management Plan, is part of a number of people working on the demonstration community garden project and says the idea of the garden is to provide a number of different functions including providing food from the trees, shrubs and vines, and providing shade for the people exercising outside.

“The idea is to celebrate food and sustainable food in particular in a small, urban scale that pushes the edge of what sustainability can mean,” said Watt.

“It’s a pretty exciting opportunity. It’s gardening with an ecosystem as opposed to having something you always have to maintain.”

Watt said he envisions being able to go outside after his swim at the pool and grabbing a peach from a tree on the southside.

Mackey adds that he expects that the garden space will really add to the beauty of the entire area.

“It’s what’s called a demonstration garden – it’s for education and learning,” he said. “The initial designs are quite exciting. Our portion is that we would like them to use our land and make it more accessible. We’re hoping that finally after 25 years we can have this whole rec centre site fully landscaped and developed and neat and clean as part of the community.”

Thank You We would like to extend our most sincere thank you for all the help received as a result of a fire which destroyed our home, belongings, as well took two of our beloved pets.

To our areas fire departments, friends, family and caring members of our community, we will be forever grateful for your support.

Fitness first

The recent news that the RDKB will be building an outdoor fitness park at the Grand Forks recreation centre is good news indeed.

Outdoor parks with exercise equipment built to withstand the elements and provide an opportunity for anyone to work out are all the rage now.

Christina Lake opened their outdoor fitness park last summer, following the lead of similar builds in Castlegar and Cranbrook.

The additional news that the regional district will also be partnering with local groups to build a demonstration community garden around the aquatic centre is also great news.

The garden is only in the preliminary stages at this point, but it is expected to not only improve the aesthetic beauty of the area but provide educational opportunities for local gardeners and others with ongoing workshops.

Another benefit from the garden could be the involvement of nearby seniors from Silver Kettle as well as other community groups and organizations.

Don’t skew balance through language manipulation Second Opinion JIM HOLTZ

I have lately become particularly annoyed with politicians who manipulate language. In the U.S., politicians on the conservative right now constantly refer to the poor as “takers” and the rich as “job creators.” Since enabling “takers” is perceived as bad, the conservative right uses that label to justify cutting social programs to the disadvantaged, and since everyone knows the country needs more jobs, the conservatives propose providing tax breaks and monetary incentives to support the “job creators.”

The rich get richer, etc.

Conservatives in Canada and particularly in B.C. manipulate language as well; for example, they constantly refer to the glories of free

enterprise. They no longer refer to our economic system as capitalism. That term began to go out of favour with the Great Depression after fortunes, farms and homes were lost and forlorn investors started jumping out of high windows.

Today, no politician wants to be seen as a capitalist; “free enterpriser” sounds so much better. It has the word “free” in it after all, and don’t we all believe in freedom and want to be free? The exponents of free enterprise also love the terms free market and free trade because, well, they have the word free in them and that makes those things desirable.

Adam Smith, the 18th century philosopher whose seminal work The Wealth of Nations first described how capitalism works, foresaw the abuses that might occur if those who owned the businesses (whom he refers to as the masters) were too “free” to control things. “Masters,” Smith

writes, “sometimes enter into particular combinations to sink the wages of labour...”

These practices, he continues, “are always conducted with the utmost silence and secrecy.... In contrast, when workers combine (to raise wages), the masters never cease to call aloud for the assistance of the civil magistrate, and the rigorous execution of those laws which have been enacted with so much severity against the combination (collective efforts) of servants, labourers, and journeymen.” Sound familiar?

The 18th century “combination” of business and political interests that sought to “sink” the wages of workers is alive and well in B.C. today. Its linchpin is the convenient, legislated labelling of a wide variety of work as being “essential services,” a wonderful manipulation of language. The term was first used to prevent the job actions of police and firefighters, describing their work as

essential to social order and safety. It was expanded to end the job actions of nurses who were deemed “essential” to the health and well-being of citizens. Then it was applied to teachers in a real stretch of meaning. No longer were lives at stake, but instead, it was deemed “essential” that students not be deprived of a single day of learning. Apparently, the 12 weeks of holidays the Ministry of Education grants them were not essential to learning, but any additional time off was. And finally, we see it applied to truck drivers at the Port of Vancouver, whose work is “essential” to provincial business interests.

In order to work in a manner satisfactory to all, capitalism requires a balance of power between “masters” and “workers.” Politicians should not try to skew the balance or attempt to hide their bias through language manipulation.

to the editor

Real science should not be feared

Letter to the Editor: In response to Mr. Ernie Whalen’s letter in the March 5th edition, I would like to give what I understand to be ‘reliable information’. In regard to the retracted study from the Food and Chemical Toxicology Journal (note the corrected name of the journal), “Long Term Toxicity of Roundup Herbicide and a Roundup Tolerant Genetically Modified Maize”, Seralini, G.-E., et al, it was in fact retracted, but under very unusual circumstances. According to the journal’s own rules for retraction, this study fit none of those. It was apparently deemed to have “inconclusive results,” which is not a reason for retraction.

It was interesting to note that between the time of the publication of the study and the retraction, an extra person was added to the editorial board, a person who had previous connections with Monsanto.

There are many comments from qualified scientists on the Food and Chemical Toxicology website condemning the retraction including one from Marcel Roberfroid, a former member of the editorial board of the journal. In

part he said, “I feel ashamed about your recent decision to retract Serafini’s paper previously accepted for publication after a full review process.”

One of the saddest things about this particular issue is that the Serafini study found that many of the abnormalities began to show up after the fourth month. All the studies performed by industry and given to government agencies for approval only require three-month studies.

I have written and asked Health Canada (who by the way disagreed with the Seralini study), that it only makes sense that if this study showed problems at the four-month and later stage, wouldn’t it be prudent to set up a long-term study with the parameters agreed to by all parties before hand and test the validity of the Seralini results? There should be no fear in real science!

There are many points that Mr. Whalen gave that I agree with, and I note his long involvement in plant breeding. He mentioned conventional plant breeding (of two parent lines of compatible parents) to create Fl hybrids; this is well recognized in plant

characteristic improvement. And yes, it is not generally worthwhile to save seeds from hybrids as the new plants produced from those seeds will not breed true to the Fl parents; but it is not illegal to save those seeds.

However, genetically engineered seeds must be purchased from an authorized supplier under contract which states that seed produced from the resulting plants cannot be saved by the purchaser; they are patent protected. And, if a farmer who has sown conventional seed on his property, and his plants during the pollinization process are contaminated with genetically engineered pollen, his seed will contain the patented genes, and the seeds then become the intellectual property of the patent holder, and it is illegal for the farmer to plant those seeds!

The other issue with genetically engineered organisms is that the genes that are inserted into the plant DNA generally come from other species lines and these genes are impossible to come together in nature or by conventional breeding.

Peter Brown, Grand Forks

It’s time to listen to the majority of citizens Letter to the Editor:

An open letter to Grand Forks City Council The unfortunate closing of two businesses recently should send a message to council and highlight some of the concerns citizens have in Grand Forks.

The erosion of services, with no tax relief for the loss, is a credible complaint of taxpayers. Garbage pickup is just an example. Same taxes, less service. Council needs to be more transparent in doing their daily businesses. They need to explain themselves better and be more accountable for their decisions, rather than dismissing people’s questions.

We live in a town with low growth. Tourism is not going to get us out of this hole. You, as council, are tasked with stopping the bleeding. You have to be more business friendly and offer incentives to attract jobs. You have to ask yourselves, why do we pay for free WiFi downtown? This is an unnecessary cost. We have to do more with less, rather than automatically raising taxes. We have to take a hard look at need versus want, the same as taxpayers have to do with their own personal budget. We have to drill down and fine tune costs during budget time, not just gloss over and add inflation each year.

Municipalities should have balanced budget legislation,

something that both the federal and provincial governments have done. Municipalities are the most unregulated of these three bodies of government at this time.

I know many of you, and you are all capable people with probably good intentions. However, you have to start listening to the citizens. You can see by the water meter issue—that was closed down by council with little debate.

A sign of the times is that people are finally rising up and speaking out. These people used to be called “the silent majority”.

You can’t always cater to the minority, but need to listen to the majority who pay for the services and voted you all in.

The questions should have been: Can we afford water meters at this time? Do we really need them now? Can you show that this is not just another tax grab? Is it possible to delay the implementation to a time when our economy is healthier and we can afford it.

In closing, I agree you can’t please everyone, all the time; but you certainly have to listen to the majority. They are all the ones who voted you in and can vote you out.

Thank you for listening.

Letter to the Editor:

At the council meeting on March 10, I presented council with a letter from Coralee Oakes, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, stating, “I assure you that the Province of British Columbia does not require local governments to build new assets before applying for funding. You commented on the installation of water meters...”

Your council has repeatedly stated that you feel we must install water meters in order to secure this funding to help fix our aging infrastructure. You were obviously not convinced by Coralee Oak’s letter and again asserted that water meters were necessary for funding. I was curious to see if other communities without water meters were receiving gas tax funding so I looked it up.

At the last council meeting on March 24 I asked council if they were aware of Cranbrook’s large gas tax grant that they received for their sewer system. Cranbrook, although they voted at referendum not to borrow money to install the meters, still was awarded a grant for waste management. It’s surprising that they weren’t told to install meters and reduce their water consumption and therefore their sewage, before receiving money to improve their infrastructure. This is the link for your reference: http:// www.infrastructure.gc.ca/media/newsnouvelles/2012/20120105cranbrook-eng. html.

On this same site I quickly found two other meter-free cities that have also received gas tax grants. The Gas Tax Fund Agreement Schedule A states that gas tax money can be used for “developing or upgrading drinking water systems to improve water quality and reduce water use, increase energy efficiency, and secure water supply in the face of drought,” and “community energy systems (wind, solar, thermal, geothermal, etc.)” among other things.

I also asked at the last council meeting, if you had considered adapting our water pumps to run off of the abundant solar power we have available at our peak watering time in the summer months. With so many innovative options available to us, couldn’t we put our $1.3 million in gas tax funding to a more constructive use?

Opinion

‘Recycle’ MMBC program

KELVIN McCULLOCH CEO, Buckerfields

A few months back, I received a notification which advised me that I had to declare whether Buckerfields was a ‘producer’ of printed paper or packaging material.

If so, we would have to implement an ‘approved stewardship plan’ to deal with the material. Otherwise we would have to join another ‘stewardship plan’ and pay fees to that plan holder. I thought it was a scam.

But I looked into it further and determined that there was indeed regulatory provisions in effect which stated this very thing and according to the regulations, Buckerfields is now a ‘producer’ of printed paper and packaging material, with the best example being our Buckerfields feed bags.

I then discussed the alternatives with a Ministry of Environment official and came to realize that we had no choice but to join the only approved stewardship plan in the province, Multi Material BC (MMBC). We signed the MMBC contract. But we also read it. And it stated that MMBC had to file audited financial statements on its web site. I recently went to the web site and there are no audited financial statements.

Now, several months later, I have discovered the following: MMBC is a corporation under the Societies Act comprised of three directors, two of which live in Ontario. None of the directors have public sector credentials. All of the directors represent large corporate interests.

MMBC is not accountable to any government agency, appointed official, elected official or any other government body other than the Registrar of Companies under the Societies Act. MMBC is not governed by the province’s Financial Administration Act which sets out the rules for the administration of all public monies.

None of the monies collected by MMBC, including the fees Buckerfields is supposed to pay go to the Public Accounts of the Province or any other government organization.

MMBC is not subject to oversight by the Auditor General of BC Under MMBC’s ‘stewardship plan’ as approved by the Provincial government, MMBC has the authority to charge compa-

nies like Buckerfields unlimited fees based on whatever MMBC spends, regardless of what the actual costs are to recycle our feed bags and regardless of the fact that we already pay municipal taxes in all eight of our locations.

MMBC has the authority to come into any municipality in the Province and offer financial incentives to the locally elected government to do what MMBC wants in the area of waste collection and recycling; if the locally elected government refuses, MMBC has the authority to do what it wants anyway.

The municipal governments of the province do not know the background of MMBC and don’t yet realize the fees that MMBC is charging to Buckerfields and all the other companies amounts to double taxation The municipal governments are going to have to give up that tax base they have for waste collection and recycling because the shift to ‘producers’ paying directly for waste collection and recycling eliminates the need and justification for ‘consumers’ i.e. property tax payers to pay for these services through the municipalities.

The provincial government did not consult with the municipal governments or the public but companies like Buckerfields are pointing it out because until it is resolved, we are being taxed twice for the same service and residential taxpayers (including me) are being taxed for something that someone else is actually paying for.

Taxpayers and municipal governments were not consulted as to whether they really want to shift the financing and control of municipal waste and recycling services out of the municipal jurisdiction, that is , the jurisdiction of democratically elected municipal officials into the hands of a corporation under the Societies Act that is accountable to no one and is outside the jurisdiction of the Provincial Auditor General.

Taxpayers and voters are unaware that the fees being charged by MMBC are so onerous that they will cause newspaper closures and job losses of 300-500 in the newspaper industry in British Columbia, even though recycled newsprint is actually very valuable.

In finding all this out, I lament the fact that none of this was introduced into the legislature for proper debate because it

www.grandforksgazette.ca A7 means that instead of spending my days managing the sale of chicks and garden supplies at Buckerfields, I have to spend my time trying to revive democratic processes in British Columbia, retroactively. I find it appalling.

My position as of the time of this writing is this, we ain’t paying a dime to MMBC and neither should anyone else, not until: The provincial government reconciles what it is doing with the municipal governments and municipal taxpayers so that taxpayers don’t have to pay twice.

The provincial government takes back the legislation which calls us ‘producers’ and ‘blames us’ for the choices made by manufacturers and indeed consumers that are completely outside of our control.

Any monies charged under the auspices of the Recyling Regulation are included in the Public Accounts of the Province and subject to the provisions of the Financial Administration Act and the Auditor General Act. Whatever is going to be done is introduced into the Legislative Assembly in the form of a Bill so that the proper public debate can occur.

Insofar as MMBC has not filed its audited financial statements since inception, and the period of time not reported spans more than two years, and insofar as MMBC is actually a taxing and funding agency, there be an independent public enquiry into the financial operations, sources and uses of funds, contractual procedures and expenditures of MMBC. No, Buckerfields is not paying a dime until this cash and power grab is unraveled and revealed for what it is.

One final word: 96 per cent of all printed paper and packaging material is already being picked up or deposited into municipally financed facilities. Despite what MMBC is saying, at least 53 per cent of that is already being recycled and it is very likely that that number was seriously understated to give the government a reason for its MMBC cash and power grab.

In reality, there is no basis for setting up a recycling dictatorship and charging punitive fees to companies like Buckerfields at all. Recycling is a booming business with rapidly increasing prices of marketable commodities. Could that be why the board of MMBC is all big business and outside the jurisdiction of the Auditor General?

We don’t have to change a thing to see recycling take off in B.C., in the hands of our elected municipal officials. We need to send the MMBC regime to the recycle bin.

POLICE BRIEFS

By Craig Lindsay

Fraud Warning

On March 27 at around 3 p.m., a person from Christina Lake called the RCMP on behalf of one of his clients who had received a phone call from someone claiming to be from Canada Revenue Agency.

“The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) person ended up talking to one of the children in the household and stated that their father owed money and they needed his social insurance number and they would cut a deal,” said Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. “Things got out of hand and apparently this caller got quite belligerent. It became pretty obvious that the caller was not from CRA. Of course, CRA doesn’t do that.”

Harrison said this type of scam happens not just in our community but throughout the country. “People are advised not to take any action or give out any information over the phone. Even if you receive an email. We strongly suggest people contact CRA, not by using the number supplied but by going online and using their website, and ensure you are dealing with someone calling legitimately from Canada Revenue.”

Harrison again cautions that people be very careful and not give out information like social insurance number or date of birth.

Papers on fire

On March 29 at 12:30 p.m.. RMCP received an anonymous complaint of newspapers being on fire on Cameron Road.

Police and Grand Forks Fire Rescue attended and located three separate scenes where newspaper were lit on fire and thrown either into the middle of the road or stuffed in a mailbox.

“Male suspect involved is believed to be six feet tall and wearing a red hoody,” said Harrison.

“Patrols were completed but the suspect could not be located. There was no damage to property. The only items burnt were the newspapers.”

Anyone with any information is urged to call Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288.

Break and Enter at Lake

Police received a report of a break and enter at 12:39 a.m. on March 30 at Westlake Road at Christina Lake. “It appears a shop at the back of some seasonal property on West Lake was broken into,” said Harrison. “It looks like the back door was pried open. Tires and wheels were removed from a 1983 AMC jeep that was stored in the shop. Also stolen were a pressure washer and three mountain bikes and two sets of golf clubs.

At this time we have no suspects or witnesses.”

The theft is believed to have occurred over night on March 29.

Shelter closes

scape the back of the building and maybe something at the front to clean things up and make it look better,” he said.

“We’re waiting to hear if we’re able to acquire a gazebo for the back.”

Harrison said the shelter would like to extend their hours down the road.

“If we can obtain the funding and the volunteers, we’d

Continued from page 1

should honour the handout that stated the water meters wouldn’t be installed until 2015. “The discussion centres on integrity and trust and doing what you say you’re going to do. If you make a mistake and change timelines because of the mistake, that would show that the city lives up to its word.”

Upon stating his motion, which was voted down 6-1, Wirirschagin received modest applause from the crowd.

“At this point, I would need to get a list of those questions and get it off to our solicitor,” replied Doug Allin, city chief administrative officer. Allin added that discussion of the legalities of the water meter installations would have to be done in-camera (not open to the public) unless council instructed otherwise. He also added that it would cost the city considerable amounts of money at this point for consulting fees for the request for proposal.

Allin also stated that the water meter program is essentially voluntary.

Allin added that council isn’t expected to set the new rates for water until 2016 to give residents a period of adjustment with the meters.

Before the vote on the motion, Mayor Brian Taylor stated he was against it. “I think this is an unnecessary waste of public money and delay in the time frames we’ve already agreed to as a group. Changing directions now, I think, would be very destructive.”

After the meeting, Taylor told the Gazette that what Coun. Wirischagin proposed was completely unworkable.

“There may be a staggered approach to some of the things were doing,” said Taylor. “It’s early on in the process to predict that. The option of voluntary vs. mandatory is something we’re quite aware of.”

Taylor said it would perhaps be best for the city to start water meter installation with those in favour of the project and most cooperative, “But I can’t say what the timeline would be on when we service the voluntary people or whether that’s a priority or not.”

But Taylor did reiterate that the city could not offer some people a flat rate while others are on meters. “Obviously, that is not going to work,” he said.

Allin told the Gazette that the questions raised at council regarding the water meter installation would be addressed in an upcoming bylaw. “The city will have more details to come respecting the program with installations and timelines in the coming weeks that will be clearly outlined to ensure that all customers are aware of the way the program will be presented with timelines.”

like to open at 4 p.m. when Whispers closes,” he said. “On the weekends when Whispers isn’t open, we’d like to stay open a few hours later so we don’t have to put people on the street at 8 a.m. I think there’s a need there and we’re exploring those options at the board level.”

Whispers of Hope will continue to operate throughout the

rest of the year with both the soup kitchen and the thrift store.

Habitat for Humanity is hoping to start work on their ReStore building, which will be the last piece of the MAAP puzzle, in the spring or summer.

The ReStore building will recycle used building materials, furniture, tools, equipment, appliances and other secondhand goods.

Summer will be here before you know it... ...Are you ready for the beach?

Way to Go!!

Flood Preparation reverse flow valves in basement floor drains.

• Do not store your important documents in the basement. Keep them at a higher level, protected from flood damage.

If flood is forecast • Turn off basement furnaces and the outside gas valve.

• Take special precautions to safeguard electrical, natural gas or propane heating equipment.

• Shut off electricity only if flooding has not yet begun and the area around the breaker panel is completely dry. Stand to the side of the breaker panel and look away from the panel when switching the power off. Have a flashlight

e are currently monitoring area snow packs and, dependant on spring weather conditions, want residents to be prepared for the possibility of flooding.

If your home is in an area subject to flooding in extreme high water flows please ensure the following are completed: To reduce the likelihood of flood damage • Put weather protection sealant around basement windows and the base of ground level floors.

• Install drainage for downspouts a sufficient distance from your residence to ensure that water moves away from the building.

• Consider installing a sump pump and zero

If flooding is imminent • Move furniture, electrical appliances and other belongings to floors above ground level.

• Remove toxic substances such as pesticides and insecticides from the flood area to prevent

pollution.

• Remove toilet bowls and plug basement sewer drains and toilet connections with a wooden stopper.

• Disconnect eaves troughs if they are connected to the house sewer.

• In some cases, homes may be protected with sandbags or polyethylene barriers. Follow instructions from local emergency officials.

• Do NOT attempt to shut off electricity if any water is present. Water and live electric wires can be lethal. Leave your home immediately and do not return until authorities indicate it is safe to do so.

• Keep your emergency kit close at hand, in a portable container.

Grand Forks Fire/Rescue appreciates your cooperation

Electricity bill higher than average?

S

ome customers have noticed that their utility bills were higher this winter than last heating season.

This winter has seen colder temperatures, which typically means we use more electricity to heat our homes. And with shorter, darker days, we generally leave our lights on longer and use more electronics when we spend more time indoors.

A typical B.C. home uses about 1,000 kWh each month during the winter. A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a unit of energy measuring how much power you use over an hour. You are billed for the number of kWhs you use. What can you do with 1 kWh? • Use a space heater for one hour • Watch TV for 11 hours • Use a CFL bulb for 43 hours • Make 40 pieces of toast

O

With warmer spring temperatures just around the corner, here are some simple things you can do to reduce how much energy you use around your home.

• Change out incandescent bulbs to CFL’s (compact fluorescent lights) which use 75 per cent less energy.

• Switch to programmable, ENERGY STAR® thermostats. You set it once—for example, to turn down to 16C at night and back up to 21C in the morning— and you will save energy at night or when you are not home.

• Add more insulation inside your exterior walls to help your home stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer. It’s easy to add insulation in attics, basements and crawlspaces.

• Hot water tanks are one of the biggest energy users. Reduce the setting to 60C. Wash clothes in cold water.

Annual Sweeping Program

ur annual Spring Sweeping Program is scheduled to begin in late March and continue through to April cleaning up winter sand, dirt, and leaves accumulated on roadways, sidewalks, and boulevards. Regular removal of debris is necessary to prevent storm water drains from clogging, keeps our roads safe, protects the environment and improves the appearance of the City of Grand Forks.

Sweeping will begin in the downtown core, and progress to arterial roads and residential streets. To help us provide the best service possible, residents are reminded to: • Keep vehicles off residential streets to allow the sweeper to do a proper job, • Place garbage containers and recycling away from the road on collection days, • Keep basketball and hockey nets off the road and far enough back from the curb, • Be understanding while street sweeping is

underway, there may be some noise and dust, • Be patient. Cold and rainy weather prevents our sweeper from operating.

Notice of Water main flushing

he Water Utility Department advises residents that we will be flushing water mains throughout the City during the months of April and May. Regular annual flushing is an important component of a comprehensive water management program. Flushing water mains are done as part of a scheduled preventative maintenance program to remove sediment that gradually deposits in the pipes and helps maintain water quality in our system.

Flushing will take place between the hours of 5:00 am and 3:30 pm. As we flush your area, you may experience a temporary reduction in water pressure and/or discoloration of the water. These conditions are normal during

flushing activities and are only temporary.

Please check your drinking, cooking, and laundry water before using. To clear your water lines, simply turn on your cold water tap or outside hose bib and let it run until the water is clear (approx 15 min. or more) Utility crews continue their water main flushing program to ensure the distribution system is refreshed and healthy. If you have any questions or if you experience any persistent water quality problems as a result of this maintenance program, please let us know at info@grandforks.ca or call City Works at 250 442 4148.

Habitat plans to amalgamate SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Habitat for Humanity Boundary continues its plans to amalgamate with Habitat West Kootenay and expand into the whole southeast B.C. to build more homes for low income families and individuals.

At their annual general meeting last Tuesday evening, the society passed resolutions to change their name to Habitat for Humanity Southeast B.C. and amend their constitution and bylaws to accommodate the changes.

This expansion will see communities like Cranbrook, Creston and other East and West Kootenay communities develop the ability to build homes with Habitat.

Communities joining the new regional affiliate will become chapters. Affiliate staff will be responsible for most of the administrative work while the chapters can concentrate on building new homes.

Elected to the new board for 2014 were Ray Hanson, chair; Monica Coleshill, vice-chair; Linda Engels, secretary; Margie Henderson, treasurer; and directors Eleanore Martens, Irene Friesen, Harold Kopan, Chris Moslin, and Randy Trerise.

Hanson stated, “We want to remind the community of the greatest misconception about Habitat for Humanity, and that it does not give people homes, but rather, provides an opportunity for our partners to enter into a pre-mortgage agreement with the condition that they

IN BRIEF

By Craig Lindsay

Meeting with industry

The mayor and city chief administrative officer (CAO) continue to meet with the heads of local industry to discuss doing business with the city.

Mayor Brian Taylor said on March 24 during his report to council that the meetings are going well and are important to maintaining strong relationships.

Taylor said the pair recently met with representatives from Roxul to discuss their participation in the tax structure.

“It’s ongoing,” he said. “It’s a continual process that council is taking to stay in touch with large industry and make sure we talk to them about how the city is meeting their needs.”

Cancer society hosts breakfast

What better way to start the day Friday morning than with a good breakfast and socializing opportunity.

The Canadian Cancer Society will be hosting a networking breakfast Friday morning in Grand Forks at Community Futures (1647 Central Ave.).

Everyone is welcome to come and connect, meet new people and enjoy an Italian style breakfast by the Wooden Spoon.

“It’s a great opportunity to connect with the community and expand your networks,” said James Wilson, executive director of the Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce.

The breakfast goes from 8 a.m. until 9:30 a.m.

RSVP (or just drop in) to Mia or Stacey at 1-888-413-9911.

Clarification

In the March 26 Gazette on page A10 under In Brief, a story titled RDKB Hands out New Contract states that “Alpine Disposal and Recycling has been selected to manage the Kootenay Boundary’s curbside recycling collection services effective May 19.” The story is referring to a contract which covers the East-side (Trail/Rossland and surrounding communities) of the RDKB service area through the new Multi Material B.C. (MMBC) program.

Kettle Valley Waste is still under contract with the RDKB for curbside recycling collection in the Kootenay Boundary.

Almost $2,000 raised

It was a splendid evening of Indian food that community-minded folks came out recently to support a fun-filled event with Habitat For Humanity Boundary (HFHB). The second annual HFHB’s Taste of India dinner was supported by local businesses—Buy-Low Foods, Jerseyland Organics, Overwaitea Foods and Rilkoff’s Mall, and as a result $1,999.29 was raised to support initiatives of the organization.

Habitat executive director Rick Friesen stated, “We are very grateful and encouraged by the support that we received from the community as this allows us to continue to be able to build houses for the disadvantaged in our community.”

HFHB promotes homeownership by bringing volunteers and community partners together to build affordable housing.

Habitat will continue to run the silent auction that was at the Taste of India, until April 15. To view the auction items go to habitatboundary. com or Habitat for Humanity Boundary Facebook page to make a bid.

The Di$ability tax credit.

What could it mean to me?

The disability Tax Credit is meant to help with some everyday living expenses and medical equipment and is often missed by disabled Canadians on their tax return because they don’t realize they qualify for it.

We can help with the paperwork and answer any questions you might have about this often missed credit.

Call or visit us: 7337 2nd Street, Grand Forks, BC 250-442-2928

support the project by working on the home or other projects for 500 hours prior to a full agreement being reached.”

This is considered sweat equity and as Hanson further commented, “Following that, the homeowner is offered to purchase the home at a mortgage payment adjusted to their income.”

Habitat carries the mortgage at no interest to make the home affordable to low income families. Habitat refers to their work as “A Hand Up” not “A Hand Out”.

Habitat Boundary wants to take this opportunity to again thank all the Boundary residents and businesses who contribute in many ways to make the work of Habitat possible.

Pic of the Week

XL-ent fuel consumption The world’s most fuel-efficient hybrid car, the Volkswagen XL1, will go on display in in London alongside other Designs of the Year award nominees.

A team led by Klaus Bischoff, Head of Design for VW, designed the Volkswagen XL1. It is a limited series production two-seater car that explores the limits of energy efficiency for a road-legal production vehicle.

The design brief for the XL1 was to produce a ‘one litre’ car – that is to say, a car that uses one litre of fuel per 100 km. The resulting vehicle uses just 0.9 litres per 100 km. To achieve this fuel consumption figure, the XL1 was aerodynamically optimised, adopting the classic ‘tear drop’ shape and utilising innovations such as removing traditional wing mirrors and replacing them with small cameras called e-Mirrors which transmit exterior images to interior displays.

For more details on the XL1, visit www.volkswagen.co.uk. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Confessions of a Curber It’s only been a month, but I can see myself selling cars for a long, long time. I feel like a new man.

One evening, I was in line at the superstore.

An elderly gentleman saw my shopping cart.

I had a new digital tire gauge that I was going to give to my next buyer.

Turns out he was looking for a used car as he’d recently given his car to his grandson.

He just needed something basic.

“This is your lucky day!” I told him.

The old fellow was around my father-in-law’s age – close to 80. He walked with a cane and had two ear pieces. I was practically shouting to him. What an easy sale.

I decided to give him a ride and show him the car. He went on to tell me about his young granddaughter, too.

At any rate, we got to the car – it was a base model with an automatic transmission. “It’s perfect for you, sir!” I exclaimed.

He got in and sat at the wheel. His face lit up right away. I could tell that he’d been a car enthusiast in his younger days. “Where’d you get this car, son?” he asked me.

“It’s my dad’s old car – he passed away and I

“Somewhere along the line, the rebuilt status was dropped.”

just can’t keep it anymore,” I lied.

In reality, I imported the car from Washington.

It came with documents that mentioned New York State. The title was clean, so I assumed it was in good condition.

I priced the vehicle quite high – well over its value. But he didn’t know, and he didn’t ask any more questions. I told him I had another buyer interested (another lie), and that he had to make a decision right away.

With no hesitation, he got a bank draft and I gave him the keys. Like I promised, I threw in the new tire gauge. Marty gave me a wink and slowly drove off.

Another foolish customer, I thought. No history report to keep me on my toes. And worse, he needs to get it inspected, registered and insured within 30 days - I didn’t bother. I just got my buddy in Bellingham to help me get it across.

That evening, I took out the papers I’d received with the car. I decided to go over them more thoroughly. I guess I was a bit bored.

Turns out, the vehicle had been registered in four U.S. states. Somewhere along the line, the rebuild* status was dropped. Probably intentionally. The inspection and ICBC will catch that. And who knows if the odometer is right? At least it’s no longer mine. *Rebuild – A vehicle written off as a total loss by an insurance company, then rebuilt and certified for use. This term does not describe a vehicle that has a new or repaired motor, transmission or other major part. Rebuilds offer savings when repaired well, but a buyer has a right to know it was rebuilt. But this buyer didn’t and Walt walked away with the cash.

Buying used? We’re looking out for you.

Dart GT would be edgier but delivers value

The Dodge Dart has held its own in a sporty compact segment where competition is fierce.

Perhaps it is because of its value, the various engine choices or that it has some pretty cool features (like available under-the-front-seat-cushion storage) and a fresh style – inside and out – the Dart seems to be a hit.

Two years in, Chrysler has loaded it up with an engine full of gusto, unique styling cues and added a couple of letters on the back and now we have the Dodge Dart GT. What sets it apart from its siblings are a stretcheddown grille and LED headlights. You’ll find the rear clad with the ‘Racetrack’ LED lights that run the full length of the trunk.

Then there’s a set of 18-inch wheels come standard on this vehicle along with a 2.4L, MultiAir, 4-cylinder Tigershark engine, matched with a 6-speed manual transmission, that brings to the pavement 184 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque.

Of all the characteristics I like about this trim of Dart, I think its transmission is the weakest link. In previous reviews of other Dart models – like the 1.4L, Turbocharged version with 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque – the gear throws are, in my opinion, too long to really give it that edge and sporty vibe that it needs to compete with vehicles like the VW GTI, Honda Civic Si or even the Ford Focus ST. The gear throws are long and the clutch has little weight to it,

On the flip side, the light clutch works favourably in Whether taking the urban environment. This setup makes being stuck in the GT for a drive traffic bearable. in the city or on the Getting back to the gearbox, I really wanted to open road, it does like the Dart more. I really have some solid legs did. So I concocted sceto stand on. narios in my mind to figure Alexandra Straub out a way to not be so sad about its lack of panache.

I think I found one. Buyers of the GT will like what

‘‘

’’

they get for the value.

After all, it has a starting MSRP of $21,995. That’s thousands less than the aforementioned competitors.

And some buyers of vehicles who want that extra kick don’t necessarily need all the sports sedan-like characteristics. They want power but in a comfortable and affordable package.

Furthermore, they enjoy added touches like a leatherwrapped heated steering wheel, GT specific sport leather seats, a Parkview rear backup camera and more.

The interior has a pleasant look to it and it’s very agreeable to drive.

On the highway, special attention from designers and engineers were paid to make sure you drive in a quiet cabin.

Minimal road noise entered the GT’s cabin, allowing my passengers and I to enjoy the musical stylings of various bands being listened to on the Alpine premium stereo system with nine speakers (an additional $1,295 for this sun and sound package.) The sun portion of the package adds a power express open/close sunroof to the mix.

After I switched into this mindset, I found I was able to alleviate my frustrations of what the GT didn’t have, but what it did have.

Additionally, a feature that I love about the Dart – and all other Dodge/Jeep/ Chrysler products – is the Uconnect media interface.

The GT comes standard with the 8.4-inch touchscreen and is a dream to work with. Large icons, easy prompts and a nofuss approach to pairing your handheld device to the Bluetooth system all come standard.

Whether taking the GT for a drive in the city or on the open road, it does have some solid legs to stand on.

City pledges support for Head Start program CRAIG LINDSAY

During discussion of the motion, Coun. Michael Wirischagin asked if there was a male Subtotal: $113.00 equivalent to the program.

Mayor Brian Taylor stated there are similar programs (such as youth parliament) that are predominantly male in nature. “This is a catchup for all women who are under-represented at all levels of government,” he said.

Jaclyn Salter, a participant of the program and the delegation and Grade 12 student at Grand Forks Secondary, told council that femalesSubtotal: only $121.00 account for 21 per cent of elected officials in Canada. “For a country that’s 52 per cent female, that’s a little bit off,” she said. “It’s not that we’re just trying to give people opportunities but that we’re trying to even things out a little and catchup.”

Grand Forks city council has thrown its support behind a program which encourages young women to get involved in politics and community awareness.

At the regular city council meeting on March 24, council heard a presentation from a group representing the Head Start for Young Women program.

Sue Adrain, a volunteer mentor for the program, told council that the group has participated in two events thus far in Grand Forks: the Girl Rising film fundraiser at the GEM Theatre, and the AKBLG/City of Grand Forks community engagement event.

Adrain told council that the program is garnering Grand Forks national attention as it is one of only six communities across Canada in the program.

NOTICE OF WATER MAIN FLUSHING The Water Utility Department advises residents that we will be flushing water mains throughout the City during the months of April and May. Regular annual flushing is an important component of a comprehensive water management program. Flushing water mains are done as part of a scheduled preventative maintenance program to remove sediment that gradually deposits in the pipes and helps maintain water quality in our system.

Flushing will take place between the hours of 5:00 am and 3:30 pm. As we flush your area, you may experience a temporary reduction in water pressure and/or discoloration of the water. These conditions are normal during flushing activities and are only temporary. Please check your drinking, cooking, and laundry water before using. To clear your water lines, simply turn on your cold water tap or outside hose bib and let it run until the water is clear (approx 15 min. or more) Utility crews continue their water main flushing program to ensure the distribution system is refreshed and healthy. If you have any questions or if you experience any persistent water quality problems as a result of this maintenance program, please let us know at info@grandforks.ca or call Public Works at 250-442-4148.

Thumbs Up to GF Recreation!

Thumbs up to GFREC for both seniors drop-in hockey programs (“the old and the older”). The puck rocks here!!

Thumbs down to “settle down”. What are we, a town of dogs? Perhaps “Grand

by Nature” would have been better—again little or no public input.

Thumbs Down! I overheard a woman ask a cashier at a store on Sunday if they had lots of security cameras working.

The implication was that the customers in the store were going to steal something—I knew she didn’t mean me, and the only other customers in the store were the seasonal workers from Mexico.

It is so sad that there are still people in this world who make judgments based on skin colour.

Thumbs up to community pride and Evelyn Schofield who has been seen cleaning up other people’s garbage on her daily walks along the highway.

If we all would pick up a piece of garbage as we go about our daily lives, Grand Forks will be looking “spit spot” in no time.

Thumbs up to all the drivers who stopped to

assist the vehicles that were damaged by the rockslide near Danshin Village Road late one night a couple of weeks back. This small group of people not only cleared the road, but provided first aid. Thumbs Down to the ignorant and reckless drivers who were in such a hurry that they continued to drive through the rockslide endangering all involved, especially the young man with the shovel—you drove to within inches of him. Shame on you!

Thumbs up to the two gentlemen in the older pickup that stopped on Saturday. March 29, and gave me a tow for my tractor that was highcentered. Thank you for your kindness—I had already spent two hours trying to dig it out and watching countless vehicles pass by before you arrived. Cheers!

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. Attacks on specific businesses and people will not be published. Editor’s discretion will always be exercised. Please keep it tasteful.

There’s no excuse to stop learning SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

On Thursday mornings at Selkirk College you will hear the sounds of a special needs class, many who need a wheelchair and a caregiver to assist them. The sounds are laughter and engagement—they are learning!

How have you embraced continuous learning in your life? It is a path to deeper contentment, increased relationships and quality to your life!

UNESCO has declared Adult Learning Week from March 29 to April 6. This is how they describe it on their website: “Adult Learners’ Week (ALW) celebrates lifelong learning, one of several essential factors in developing more inclusive societies. ALW, which was designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2000, is celebrated in

many countries where there is a growing interest in lifelong learning and its positive role in developing viable societies.”

Sheila Dobie, community literacy coordinator for the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL), states; “Simply put, we have the capacity to learn continuously in our life and when we take an active role with opportunities to do so, we change the world around us; we “develop a viable society.”

Dobie said, “This spring we are offering a free seniors basic computer class, at the high school computer lab starting April 16. This is an example of the kinds of programs we offer and partner with other agencies to have for the community”.

For more information about this program call Dobie at 250-584-4109. “We offer programs for families, English as a second language, special needs and one-to-one tutoring for anyone!”

Relay For Life looking for volunteers SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks Relay For Life isn’t until early June, but preparations are already underway.

The Canadian Cancer Society is calling on residents of the Boundary Country to volunteer for this year’s Relay For Life. This year’s relay will be on June 7 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at James Donaldson Park in Grand Forks. The society has an urgent need for volunteers to make this community-driven event a success in 2014.

dedicated team of volunteers put on a fantastic relay for the Boundary with the help of Canadian Cancer Society staff,” said Stacey Cassidy, community giving coordinator, Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. & Yukon. “There are some exciting plans underway this year; however, many of the committee members have now retired and we need the community’s involvement to help us make this event as successful and memorable as last year’s relay.”

Any interested volunteers are asked to contact 2014 Leadership Chair Jennifer Edwards at grandforksrelay@bc.cancer.ca or 250-443-1484.

Ski hill wraps up with Spring Fling CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Phoenix Mountain Ski Hill wrapped up a successful 201314 season with their annual Spring Fling celebration on March 29 and 30.

On Saturday, about 20 skiers took part in a park jam event, while Sunday saw the hill host a pajama day and the always popular dummy downhill.

The dummy downhill featured five homemade entries that all barreled their way down the mountain and over the jump at the end.

Ciel Sander, pro patroller and vice-president of the Phoenix Mountain Alpine Ski Society (PMASS), said the Spring Fling, which has been going for over 30 years, was a lot of fun and the culmination of a very good year.

“This season’s been really

good,” she said. “We haven’t had the snow fall we’ve had in previous years, but it’s been good ski conditions and good coverage. We didn’t have any major problems on the hill. It’s good that it’s ending now that the snow’s disappearing.”

Thanks in part to the very successful Operation Snowflake campaign the ski hill was able to operate all season after learning in the fall that they would not qualify for a lottery grant.

Volunteers Beth Plotnikoff and Pam Smith have been skiing at Phoenix Mountain for more than 30 years and spearheaded Operation Snowflake.

“We just love the hill,” said Smith. “We started the campaign after we went to the annual general meeting and heard about the ski hill’s financial situation. We love the hill so much that we wanted to do something

about it. Pam had the idea of the snowflakes and we just went with it.”

The ski hill sold snow flakes at $50 each and managed to raise more than $13,000.

“It was amazing that we got such support from so many people,” said Plotnikoff.

Results of the dummy downhill: Best looking: Rat Road, Ivan Wilson; Best crash: Tree Well from Hell, Dave Fitzgerald and Shimmer Lawrence; Best jump: Ornithopter, Chris Nason; and People’s Choice: Gramma Flyer, Ty and Jason McPherson and Sean Phelps.

Results of Saturday’s park jam: Top skiers: Under 15 - Ryan Steinbeck; Over 15 - Nigel Zeigler. Top boarders: Under 15 Neko Reimer; Over 15 - Jay Britton.

Whitecaps Kootenay program having impact SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Kootenay regional head coach Brett Adams has been delighted with the progress of the Vancouver Whitecaps FC Kootenay Academy Centre programs. “I have been really happy and proud of the progressive steps the program has made in just six months,” notes Adams.

“We have over 100 players in a weekly training academy, we’ve had several players selected for training camps in Vancouver, we’ve taken the academy to Vancouver for a Major League Soccer (MLS) weekend, and we will be sending teams to Vancouver next month for the upcoming Whitecaps FC Showcase.”

Last week, Kootenay players Parker Shaw-Lazier and Marco Falcone attended a Whitecaps FC Pre-Residency training combine that consisted of two training sessions per day and trial matches over a three-day period. The combine included 16 other players selected from the club’s six other academy centres, as well as local Vancouver-based players. The combine was led by Pre-Residency and Academy centre head coach Bart Choufour, as well as U-16

Residency coach Rich Fagan and U-18 Residency coach Niall Thompson.

“Both players performed well and had a great experience playing alongside some of the best talent in Canada,” noted Adams.

Other upcoming opportunities will see selected players from the Kootenay Girls Prospects Academy being invited to train with Girls Elite head coach Jesse Symons in Vancouver. ”Whitecaps FC have made it a priority that both boys and girls from our Kootenay Academy Centre train in the club’s Vancouver environment with our Residency and Girls Elite staff,” added Adams. “As we continue to grow, we are pushing for more local opportunities for Kootenay players. Who knows, one day we may potentially see a player from this area become a full-time member of Whitecaps FC in Vancouver.”

In the past six months Adams has set up a Prospects Academy training group in Nelson, a Skills Academy training group in Cranbrook, and a school training program based out of the Fernie School Academy. Adams has also started working with the Castlegar Minor Soccer Association on some

development programs. An upcoming primary role of Adams will be working as the Nelson Youth Soccer Association (NYSA) technical director for this upcoming season. “The opportunity to work with such a proactive board and an eager group of coaches and players is fantastic,” Adams explained.

“It’s not my job to come in and take over, the board and the coaches have great ideas and have done a very good job for these local players. I will be here to add structure and advice as we aim to get all coaches working on the same page.

“Having already done three coaching clinics, it is clear that the coaches in the Kootenays are some of the most dedicated and enthusiastic individuals that I have ever had the pleasure to work with,” Adams added. “It’s going to be a great season.”

The Whitecaps FC Kootenay Academy is currently holding evaluations for its Nelson Prospects sessions, and registration is open for the skills Academy in Cranbrook and School Academy in Fernie. Players from the ages of 10 to 18 boys can get more information from whitecapsfc.com/youth/programs/ academy/kootenay or contact Brett Adams at 250- 777-2173.

John comes to us with 2 years of technical training as well as close to a half decade of hands on experience.

Being active helps in the fight against cancer Regional hoops camp Normal Cells and Cancer Cells To understand what cancer is, it is helpful to understand the behaviour of a normal cell.

A normal cell performs its designated job and divides only when the body signals that more cells are needed to carry out its function. Cancer cells are abnormal cells that divide and multiply without appropriate control or regulation.

The genetic material (DNA) of a cell can become damaged or changed, producing mutations that affect normal cell growth and division. When this happens, cells do not die when they should and new cells form when the body does not need them.

These extra cells can form a mass of tissue or the tumor. Over 200 types of cancers identified have one characteristic in common: unchecked cell growth. They multiply and can invade other tissues or spread to other parts of the body.

April is National Cancer Month and good health helps in the fight against this invasive disease.

Tim Neufeld, Glory Boys to perform A Juno award-winning singer from a popular Christian band will be playing a concert in Grand Forks on Monday with his side band.

Starfield’s Tim Neufeld, along with the Hallelujah Glory Boys, will be performing at the Gospel Chapel on Monday, April 7 from 7 p.m. until 9:30 p.m.

The show is by donation with a suggested price of $5 for children and $10 for adults.

Ben Jepsen, associate/youth pastor at Gospel Chapel, said the church tries to bring in different musical groups and speakers for the church and the community but this is the biggest act they’ve had.

“They got in touch with us a few months ago and asked if we wanted to have them,” he said. “The actual cost to bring them in was just too much for us to handle. They ended up booking the rest of the shows of their tour and then told us they would come in for free. This would be the biggest band we’ve had

CRAIG LINDSAY

come to the church to put on a show.”

Jepsen said Starfield, the singer’s original band, is known as a worship band and is well known throughout the world.

“This band is the same but is a side band,” said Jepsen. “Same people, different kind of music. This band is getting just as much exposure at success as Starfield did. He does both now. This band is more like Mumford and Sons.

April is Parkinson’s month, take chance to learn more SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Some of you will know Parkinson’s Disease as “that thing that Michael J. Fox and Mohammed Ali have” or “that Grandpa had that made him shake.”

In fact, about 30 per cent of PWP’s (persons with Parkinson’s) exhibit no tremor at all. Resting tremor, slow movement, rigidity, and balance problems comprise the classic medical definition but many PWP’s also experience facial masking, speech difficulties, muscle pain, sleep disturbance, fatigue and constipation. A Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis is enough to make anyone sad and worried but depression, anxiety and apathy are also identified bio-chemical aspects of the condition, related to changes in brain chemistry. They are perhaps the symptoms least understood by family, friends and the medical community.

There is no simple diagnostic test for Parkinson’s. In Canada, a Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis is based

on a clinical assessment—that is, a doctor’s observation of a patient’s response to a number of physical tests. The disease typically presents on one side of the body first.

Diagnosis isn’t always easy or straightforward and there are a number of other brain disorders that can be confused with or mistaken for Parkinson’s. The best advice if you or your doctor suspect Parkinson’s: Get thee to a neurologist, and ideally, a neurologist specializing in movement disorders. In B.C., the only movement disorder clinic is located at the University of British Columbia.

Medication helps manage the motor symptoms but doesn’t affect the progression of the disease.

Exercise has been proven to mitigate symptoms, including the ones that Parkinson’s meds don’t touch, which are all of the non-motor symptoms. Exercise won’t replace the pills but can mean fewer pills, less suffering from side effects, and better quality of life. The next best piece of advice? Get moving and don’t stop.

Thank You

(Clockwise from top left) Tristen, Braden, Jordan, Emily and Hayley have fun with Lego on March 20 at the Grand Forks and District Public Library. The popular Legoland play event went on both Thursday and Friday.

On behalf of the Board of Directors for the Phoenix Mountain Alpine Ski Society we would like to take this opportunity to throw out a HUGE THANK YOU to all our guests, staff, and volunteers and another HUGE THANK YOU to all the community supporters, business sponsors, and individuals and organizations.

You all helped contribute to making the 2013/14 ski and riding year a great season!

Have a great summer season and SEE YOU NEXT WINTER! Mountain Ph: 250-445-6565

New tools for SWIM CLUB Members of the Piranhas Swim Club with their new iPad, donated by the USW 1-423 IWA Midway Group.

The iPad will be used in conjunction with the club’s new underwater camera (donated by Grand Forks Credit Union) so the swimmer is able to see themselves swimming under water. These new tools allow the coaches to better analyze swimmers’ strokes and kicks.
