Grand Forks Gazette

Despite not receiving any provincial grants as of yet for infrastructure projects, the city will be going ahead with paving 68th Avenue (Kettle River Drive to 19th Street). At the regular meeting on May 26, Grand Forks city council chose 68th Avenue over 22nd Street for pavement rehabilitation. Those two streets were recommended by Urban Systems for the mill-and-replace program for pavement rehabilitation. Staff also asked that council approve a budget amendment for the project, which will be partially funded through either gas tax money, a borrowing bylaw, or reserves from the slag fund. The mill-and-replace program involves crushing the existing asphalt, placing a crush gravel base which includes the existing milling, and placing a new asphalt surface. “The background is that, based on the current condition and the lack of funding that has come forward from the provincial government in being ready for the replacement of these assets, and based on the expectation of water conservation moving forward, we have the expectation that we will be able to essentially repave one of the roads.” Staff recommended 68th Avenue, said Allin, “The rationale behind that is that

Strike action continues CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

With no end in sight, the feud between B.C. teachers and the government continues. Teachers are continuing their rotating strike action as part of phase two of job action. In the Boundary, schools will be closed on Thursday as teachers will be picketing. There is also talk about a province-wide student walk-out on Wednesday. There is no word on whether it would affect Grand Forks or other schools in the Boundary area. Teachers in School District 51 were out on the picket lines on Wednesday, May 28 for the ﬁrst time at schools throughout the Boundary. “We received a lot of positive support,” said Norm Sabourin, president of the Boundary District Teachers’ Association. “Most people driving by were very positive—honking and giving thumbs up. I was in Grand Forks in the morning and then stopped at spots west in the afternoon. Right across the district it was positive.”

Sabourin added that most of the administrative staff were supportive of teachers and some even brought out food for the picketers. CUPE workers, which include support workers at the schools, were also on the picket lines showing support. “We greatly appreciate CUPE’s support as well as the support of the administrators who came out and talked with the staff or brought food,” said Sabourin. Sabourin said he feels there is a better tone at the provincial bargaining table in recent days. “We’re still waiting to see that translate into movement toward a deal,” he said. “It comes down to that the government needs to provide some ﬁnancial mandate so that there can be some area to bargain.” In a press release from the government last week, education minister Peter Fassbender stated, “It is unfortunate that the BCTF leadership is shutting down schools with their rotating strikes—it is always students and parents who bear the brunt when the BCTF orders teachers to walk out.”

City considers electronic voting machines

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Grand Forks city council is looking at bringing in automated voting machines for the November election to help make counting faster and easier. At its May 26 meeting, council received for information the proposed use of automated voting machines for general local elections bylaw No. 2000. First three readings on the bylaw are set for the June 9 regular council meeting.

The report from staff stated: “In an effort to make the election process more efﬁcient, staff is proposing the use of automated voting machines for the next municipal election.” The voting machine is designed to be very user friendly for the electors offering a large screen with detailed instructions. The most useful function is that at the end of the voting day a report is generated that gives the municipality, the candidates and the electors the election results very quickly.

The cost for the machines is expected to be around $7,600, although the city will save money by spending less on poll clerks as the manual counting process will be eliminated. “It seems like a pretty innocuous machine,” said Mayor Brian Taylor. “It just counts ballots. It seems like it would avoid human error and be saving us a considerable amount of money.” Voters would still ﬁll out ballots with the mayoral candidates, council candidates, and/or

POLICE BRIEFS Break and enter

On May 22 at 12:20 a.m., RCMP received a report about a break and enter into a shed on Boundary Drive in Grand Forks. “The shed was alarmed, which woke the home-owner,” said Cpl. Richard Lanz. “Entry was gained to the shed and only a very small amount of items of little value were taken. The alarm appears to have scared the culprits away.” Police found a few items scattered outside the shed. Lanz said he thought the culprits dropped the items as they took off.

Flowers stolen

On May 27 at 1:24 p.m., police received a call about the theft of flowers from Rilkoff’s Store in west Grand Forks. The theft occurred before the business opened in the morning, said Lanz. “A witness observed a vehicle loading flowers into a vehicle before departing.” At this time the matter is still being investigated. The value of the flowers stolen is approximately $250.

Honey bees don’t get special day CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The City of Grand Forks won’t be proclaiming May 29 as “Day of the Honey Bee,” but they will take the next closest step. At its last regular meeting May 26, city council simply received for information a letter from Clinton Ekdahl for the proclamation. Ekdahl stated in a letter to council that a third of all the food mankind consumes exists because of the tireless work of honey bees and 70 per cent of food crops are pollinated and partially, if not

completely depend upon this key species. Honey bees are disappearing at alarming and unsustainable rates all over the world for reasons not fully explained by science, but with the most likely cause being pesticides, he added. “I know we don’t make proclamations—but it certainly does seem to be a good initiative on his part to recognize that honey bees are a good indicator of the health of our agricultural community,” said Mayor Brian Taylor to council. Councillor Gary Smith put forward the motion and it was

carried. Taylor told the Gazette that it has been several years since council declared that they would no longer make proclamations regarding days and months honouring something. “It goes back many years,” he said. “What happened was the city was inundated with requests for proclamations as many places are and made a decision to verbally and sometimes in letter form send their support for a project, but not proclaim a particular day or week or month because it just got out of control.”

jacent property owners (Emcon and WD Sheet Metal) who wanted to close a portion of the undeveloped road and consolidate each portion with their property. At the May 12 Committee of the Whole meeting, the committee received staff’s report and deemed that portion of road located between Sagamore Road and Second St. as surplus to the needs of the city and directed staff to proceed

with the statutory requirements necessary to start and complete the road closure and consolidation of the portion of the road. “We’ve had a couple of inquiries on it,” said Doug Allin, city administrative officer. “It’s just a clean-up of existing lands that’s a cost to taxpayers whereas eventually we could have the title raised and have it sold for revenue into the city.”

Motorcycle mayhem

On May 29 at 12:50 p.m., RCMP observed a motorcycle on Highway 3 near Beach Road and performed a vehicle check on the bike. “It was determined the operator of the vehicle was a suspended driver,” said Lanz. “Also, the vehicle had no insurance. The driver of the vehicle was charged and the vehicle was impounded.” The motorcyclist is a 54-year-old local male.

Stolen bicycle

On May 29, a report about a stolen bicycle was received by police at 10:30 p.m. “The bicycle was in the front yard on 77th Ave.,” said Lanz. “The bike is described as a men’s red a silver bike with the words Next (on it).” The bike is valued at between $200 and $300.

Domestic assault

On May 31 at 3:53 a.m., RCMP received a report of a domestic assault, which occurred on 25th St. in Grand Forks. “Police attended and the male was arrested for assault,” said Lanz. The male was released on a promise to appear in court at a later date.

Pot found

On May 31 at 6:24 p.m., police attended a residence on 21st St. “While the police were investigating another matter they came across 29.5 grams of marijuana,” said Lanz. “The marijuana was seized. No charges are being contemplated at this time.”

Flower basket taken

On June 1 at 12:18 p.m., RCMP received a report from a business in Christina Lake stating that sometime overnight a flower basket had been stolen from in front of their business. There are no witnesses or suspects at this time. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288.

Find common ground

With graduation coming up, June is a great time to look forward to the future. Unfortunately, Grade 12s in this area and throughout the province may find a strong taste of bitterness in their mouths as they look forward to what should be a joyous occasion. Although the teacher strike and the subsequent government lockout are not expected to affect graduation ceremonies, there is no doubt the “feud” will hamper students’ final few weeks of exam preparation as they prepare to make the adjustment from school to the “real world.” As for students at younger levels, both the teachers’ union and the government are sending some very mixed messages: play well with others and be nice to each; meanwhile, if we don’t get what we want we’re just going to hold our breath until we do. Sadly, this could be just the beginning. No one wants to see job action last throughout the summer and into next fall but it appears that may be the case unless both groups can find some common ground.

The more embarrassing, the harsher the punishment Second Opinion JIM HOLTZ Edward Snowden’s appearance in an interview with NBC journalist Brian Williams last week made it harder than ever for White House, congressional and military spokespersons to dismiss him by labelling him a traitor. Of course, they are still trying. Secretary of State Kerry called him both a traitor and a coward, because he wouldn’t surrender to be tried for his crimes. Snowden, who had worked under contract to the National Security Agency (NSA), copied and released to The New York Times, the Guardian, NBC and other reputable news organizations thousands of documents that revealed that the NSA had been spying on millions of U.S. citizens, secretly

collecting massive amounts of data in violation of their constitutional rights. Snowden said his motivation was patriotic, to reveal that his own government was trampling on the rights of its citizens. “The Fourth Amendment as it was written— no longer exists,” he said. “... Now all of our data can be collected without any suspicion of wrongdoing on our part, without any underlying justification. “All of your private records, all of your private communications, all of your transactions, all of your associations, who you talk to, who you love, what you buy, what you read—all of those things can be seized and held by the government and then searched later for any reason, hardly—without any justification, without any real—oversight, without any real accountability for those who do wrong. The result is that the Fourth Amendment that was so strict—that we fought a revolution to put into

place—now no longer has the same meaning that it once did. “Now we have—a system of pervasive pre-criminal surveillance—where the government wants to watch what you’re doing just to see what you’re up to, to see what you’re thinking even behind closed doors.” The New York Times received the Pulitzer Prize for the stories it wrote using the documents that Snowden provided. A federal court, reviewing the programs that Snowden exposed, labelled them likely unconstitutional and Orwellian, and Congress has moved to curtail the massive, bulk collection of data on average citizens. Still, Kerry is certain he is a traitor and should be tried as such. That is what happens when whistleblowers reveal U.S. federal government secrets: they are punished. The degree of punishment corresponds directly to 1) the level of importance that the affected

Since no government department on Earth feels that it is more important than the American Defense Department and since there is hardly anything more illegal or embarrassing than being caught collecting the phone calls, e-mails, photos, etc. of an entire nation, well, Snowden is pretty well cooked.

Why destroy nesting boxes? Editor, The Gazette: During 35 years of monitoring nesting boxes (primarily for bluebirds) as a hobby, both in Alberta and B.C., loss of boxes has been limited to damage by weather, livestock and theft (five). However, last week seven of the 100 boxes that I monitor were willfully smashed. Sadly, in some cases the boxes contained wren, swallow or bluebird eggs, and in one instance, five bluebird fledglings that were still being fed by the

parents. Luckily, I was able to partially repair it. In all instances, the boxes were smashed in the same manner, and were located on the west end of town on either Forrester Road or Hardy Mountain Road, west of Outlook Road, suggesting a common perpetrator. If you see someone—other than an obvious white-haired senior—tampering with the nesting boxes, a phone call would be appreciated. Ernie Whelan, Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette: Forget the excuse of water meters saving water. City Hall claims old infrastructure is a cause by leakage and people are abusing it by using too much water. A simple solution would be to repair the roads and water lines at the same time and also put restrictions on water use, with large fines if restrictions are not followed. Use pipe cameras to find your water leakage. Use our gas tax and road tax money to fix our decaying infrastructure, that way the city won’t have to dig up the road twice and you won’t have to worry about leaking lines instead of

blaming the public and using water meters as just another tax grab. Also use education to solve your problem instead of taxing people. I have never seen literature or any info on the importance of conserving water. It’s bad enough property taxes and other taxes go up every year and the public gets less and less for their tax money. Yellow road lines are not enough! We need an audit on City Hall that would be available to the taxpayers. Yes, City Hall needs a good cleaning. James Rankin, Grand Forks

Forget excuse of saving water

Other, better options available

Editor, The Gazette: Enclosed is information on how the City of Revelstoke has dealt with their loss of water through leaking main lines. Veritec engineering did a current and in depth study, and came up with far better solutions than are proposed by our current council and CAO. You will notice the electronic metering proposed by our council is by far the most expensive way to find main line water leaks. The Veritec report also states the actual loss through main line leaks will be between 27 per cent and 74 per cent of water pumped. Our council estimates our loss between 25 per cent to 35 per cent. The percentage of water loss from the main lines is comparable, which suggests that excess usage by property owner, is very minimal. The Veritec report also acknowledges the water lost by the leaking mains is chlorinated, and this water goes directly back into the aquifer. The excerpts of the article from the Nov. 5, 2013 Revelstoke Daily News cover the highlights of the 200+ page report provided by Veritec engineering. The entire engineering report is available on line. Good intentions but poor research by council has provided Grand Forks property owners with a metering option that is far too expensive, and

far too inefficient. The solutions provided to the City of Revelstoke, is a fine example of what can really be accomplished. Grand Forks taxpaying property owners have every right to expect their elected council’s research and provide cost effective solutions—not rely on outdated engineering reports, or, for that matter, expect or look to the CAO of the day to solve all their problems. What our outdated engineering report does address is another well and pump need to be provided to be a replacement for a older current well that could fail. The allocation of $1.4 million of gas tax dollars could provide a new well and pump with NO additional debt load to the taxpayers, and the balance of funds go towards providing a system to identify main line water leaks. Once the city repairs all the main line water leaks, then a true measurement of the real consumption of property owners will be known. It is my firm belief far better value can be derived from a $1.4 million expenditure than is currently being offered. To all payers of property taxes, please do talk to your councillors and mayor, and insist they do not move forward on their current proposal. Better options are available. Gene Koch, Grand Forks

Powerhouse abandoned the project after it received a water license for access to Kettle River. The license was renewed in 2009 and is due for renewal again this year. It is fortunate that the Cascade Falls project was never built now that more is known about so-called run-of-river projects around B.C. and the financial problems that BC Hydro has suffered because of them. A new report from the Wilderness Committee of B.C. called POWER TRIP provides up-to-date information about private power in B.C. The report fully exposes the ongoing impacts of run-of-river power plants and there are many. It’s a grim picture of what is called an industry in “regulatory disarray.” Information obtained from government documents reveals: • “740 instances of non-compliance at 16 projects located in B.C.’s South Coast in 2010 alone” • “90 per cent of river diversion facilities had “incidents” or “non- compliance;” with environmental requirements” • “Inadequate government staff resources to oversee compliance of river diversion projects” • “In 2014, 75 per cent of projects operating in the South Coast region had “unsatisfactory operating procedures” A major concern in the South Coast area is that 97 per cent of the diversion projects are fish bearing streams with salmon, trout, char whitefish and grayling being the major species. In some cases, up to 98 per cent of the water in the stream can be diverted for power production. Rising and falling water levels have a lethal impact on fish. The environmental damage caused by the construction of roads and power line cuts is also a major concern. The government has ceased monitoring many of the plants that are operating because of a lack of resources to do so. The companies are on their own and it has been determined that 75 per cent of those operating in the south coast region have unsatisfactory operating procedures. British Columbians were told that the excess energy produced by private hydropower companies would be sold to the California Energy Commission. Guess what! On Jan. 14, 2014, the commission adopted an energy report that excluded B.C.’s river diversion projects. The report states “B.C. river diversion projects don’t meet California’s environmental standards when it comes to producing electricity.” One would rightly expect that the provincial government would have known about California’s environmental laws before approving a multitude of high cost independent power projects. The California energy commission also stated that it was not interested in paying $125 per megawatt hour for power produced in B.C. when the wholesale price is between $25 and $40 per megawatt hour. Where was B.C.’s watchdog, the BC Utilities Commission (BCUC)? The Wilderness Committee report calls the BCUC “toothless.” “In 2010 the government severely curtailed BCUC’s ability to provide oversight and regulate key BC Hydro initiatives—including IPP contracts, the Site C dam proposal, the Northwest Transmission Line and the billion dollar-Smart Meter program. In addition, the provincial government took away the BCUC’s required approval of BC Hydro’s electricity planning process transferring it to the provincial cabinet.” Given the information provided by the Wilderness Committee, it would appear that Christina Lake is better off for not having a power dam at Cascade Falls.

Technology an incredible tool

There have been many videos and articles going around lately spread by the very thing that they are criticizing: technology. They all centre on the basic idea that the value of face to face communication has been lost to the inhuman ways of technology. While the practices of texting, tweeting and instant messaging has increased, the fundamental aspects of communication have not been eroded, just expanded. Those who lived before the creation of the Internet and cell phones are most often the first to denounce them. This has happened with every generation bred with the convenience of some sort of technology: Internet, television, radio, even the printing press in the 1400s. They knew life before these inventions and see the necessity that others place on them to be foolish. The vehement condemnation of the advances is rooted in the fear of change. Without these progressions, however, the world we live in would be unable to expand. Technology greatly expands who we communicate with, where we commu-

Those critical of messaging via the Internet or their phones insist that if you do not look up from your screen you will miss out on the possibilities to meet certain people or experience certain things. What they do not seem to realize are all of the opportunities available within these electronic devices. The great speed and reach that the Internet provides allows one to talk with people from all over the world. People can discuss areas of interest with others who share the same enthusiasm. One does not even have to travel in order to obtain knowledge from a diverse group of people with differing cultures.

viduals regardless of where they are. While in-person communication remains a large aspect of our lives, and likely always will, it is not the end all be all. Functions of society have been changing to adapt to the growing presence of technology. School projects are done with computer programs, conferences take place through Skype, and important information is passed by email. The available formats improve efficiency and therefore have become a standard amongst institutions. The benefits of technological functions have been utilized by those wishing to spread their information in manners otherwise unavailable to them. To strictly limit our communication with people to face to face would be an unfortunate waste of the great opportunities we now have. Technology is an incredible tool that allows us to talk to a greater audience than ever before. To write off entire aspects of it due to a lack of understanding only closes many doors. This revolution will only continue to advance and efforts to ignore it will leave people behind in the dark.

Repaving

Continued from page 1

it is the more suitable of the two because it is a secondary access road through our community.” Allin said repaving for 22nd Street would be more complicated due to having more moving parts because the water main is smaller. “There are a number of things we would recommend you move forward under the grant to replace that full asset,” he said. “Twenty-second is one that affects the hospital but in the longterm it’s going to be the one you’re going to want to get done in the short-term with all the assets being replaced.” “Sixty-eighth has the potential to be paved and to not be a big risk in having to tear it up again,” said Taylor after the meeting. “We’re confident that it has some capacity for a number of years. We’ve got options if we get into trouble in terms of putting a sideline along the boulevard.”

Allin said in addition to paving the road, the city would also be doing storm sewer rehabilitation. “That’s why the road is falling apart,” he said. “Because the sub-base material, the stuff you can’t see, that’s all degradating because of the moisture that sits on the shoulder of the road.” Taylor said that the people of Grand Forks have been so patient in waiting for the city to get grants from the provincial and federal government. “We need to respond to their frustration (about the) conditions of roads and that seems the most reasonable and sensible one,” he said. The cost for the project is expected to be $388,437.50 including a 10 per cent contingency. Allin said the city will now put the project to tender. He expects the work will be completed this summer and be finished by September.

Electronic voting school trustee candidates all on one ballot, said Diane Heinrich, city corporate officer. “We intend to get a hold of the software company and see if we can bring the voting machine in here for a demo date,” said Heinrich. “We would invite the public in and they could see for themselves just what it entails.”

...but says no to mail-in ballots

Grand Forks city council voted against a recommendation from staff to receive for information and discussion the proposed use of mail ballot authorization for the general local election. If passed, the proposed bylaw would have seen the first three readings on June 9. The background information to council stated: “In 2008, the legislation was amended to allow local governments to offer mail ballots to persons who expect to be absent from the municipality during normal voting opportunities, in addition, the service is offered to persons who have a physical disability, illness or injury that

Continued from page 1

affects their ability to vote at other voting opportunities.” The mail ballot would not be available to those people who simply didn’t want to attend general voting day or the advanced voting opportunities. Cost for a mail-in ballot is around $30 per ballot package plus postage. “This mail-in ballot really has a lot of pitfalls and I’m uncomfortable at this point without knowing more about it,” said Mayor Brian Taylor while introducing the subject at council. “I think we need to be cautious at this point.” Councillors Neal Krog and Bob Kendel spoke against the motion as well. “I’m not in favour of the mail-in ballots either,” said Kendel. “They seem to have quite a heavy cost to them. If there were a huge segment of the public that need to it that way, I’d look at it. If you’re interested in voting you’ll make an attempt to go to the early ballot before you left to go south for the winter or you’d make the effort to be here for election day.”

Water – Every Drop Counts: 1. What is a water meter? A water meter is a device used to measure the volume of water being used at any given water connection. Typically, water meters are installed near the main water shut-off valve in your home so they can measure the actual amount of water you use. Water meters are a proven and widespread way to conserve water — they have been shown to reduce water consumption by nearly 25 per cent.

2. Why is the City of Grand Forks expanding the water meter program to residential homes? Currently, about 20% of the City has water meters – water meters have been used successfully by businesses and industries in the City of Grand Forks since 2008. Currently, residential customers can use as much water as they like, despite limited water resources and the need to conserve now for future generations. Voluntary water conservation has not been shown to be effective. Homeowner will have the ability to better manage how much water they use, allowing them to conserve and save more. In Grand Forks, all of our drinking water (or water for household use) comes from groundwater sources and, like many communities in southern BC, we face drought and water supply issues during the hot summer months and very high energy costs for pumping water during high demand. Our water infrastructure, the system that treats and delivers water to our homes and businesses and removes wastewater, will need millions of dollars of upgrading and expansion to keep up with current demand unless we take steps to reduce and better manage our precious water resources. In the City’s Sustainable Community Plan, a water metering program for all residential users is recommended to ensure the long-term sustainability of Grand Forks’ infrastructure and to maximize the potential of the City’s water supply. This Plan went through extensive public consultation between 2007 and 2011. The Kettle River Watershed Management Plan has also identified water meters as a solution to conserving more water. 3. What about industrial, commercial and multi-family properties? Do they have water meters? In Grand Forks, all commercial and industrial customers received water meters in 2008. Institutional water meters were installed in 2008 and almost all multi-family properties are metered to help them conserve and manage water use.

4. Has the City studied the use of water meters? Three separate engineering studies on our water system have recommend water meters as a key water-saving tool. Water meters have also been recommended as a key water-saving measure in several of our community plans that were developed through extensive public consultation, such as the Asset Management Plan and the Sustainable Community Plan. The Kettle River Watershed Management Plan has also identified water meters as a solution to conserving more water. Water meters have become common practice as a way to better understand water consumption across the city, identify leaks, promote water conservation and save most customers money.

5. Why has the city had three separate engineering studies? Water meters have been on Council’s agenda since 1999 as a way to conserve water. The initial engineering study was completed for this purpose in 2000. In 2005, the city received funding to complete a Drought Management and Conservation Plan. In 2010,

The Water Meter Program: FAQ

Kerr Wood Leidal was the lead engineer on the City Park Lift Station project. The City was required to complete a Water Conservation Plan specifically for the project in order to receive grant funding for the project. In Grand Forks, all commercial and industrial customers received water meters in 2008. 6. Do other communities have water meters? Many communities in BC and across Canada already use water meters. As of 2009 in Canada, about 72 per cent of single family residential homes have a water meter. Other communities in BC using water meters include West Kelowna, Oliver, Penticton, Summerland, Peachland, Lumby, Chase and Enderby. All City of Vernon residents and those supplied by the City of Kelowna water utility are on water meters, and Kamloops is in the process of installing them.

7. What are the benefits of water meters? Water meters are a proven and widespread way to conserve water — they have been shown to reduce water consumption by nearly 25 per cent. Water meters help you manage your own household costs based on how much water you use, which makes it fairer for everyone. Reducing the amount of water you use with a few simple steps in the home and garden can help you save money on your utility bill. Water meters also help the City reduce spending on water and wastewater facility upgrades and help to better detect leaks.

8. Why do we need water meters? • Better water conservation - proven to help reduce water demand to a level that can be supported by the local groundwater sources. • Fairer way to bill - water meters help you manage your own household costs based on how much water you use, which makes it fairer for everyone, the same as energy conservation. • Reduces capital costs - by using less water, the City can reduce the need to spend millions of dollars upgrading and expanding its water and wastewater facilities. • Detect leaks – this helps save water as well as lower water and pumping demands which then reduces energy consumption costs.

9. We don’t have a water shortage because we live next to the Kettle River. So why do we need to conserve water? All of our drinking water (or water for household use) comes from groundwater sources and, like many communities in southern BC, we face drought and water supply issues during the hot summer months and very high energy costs for pumping water during high demand. Like many BC rivers, the Kettle River often flows very high in the spring when the snow melts in the mountains and fills the downstream creeks and rivers. These high flows are significantly reduced by mid-summer when demand from water users increases.

With climate change, water supply and flow for fish has decreased. Projections indicate warmer annual average temperatures, less rainfall in the summer and a decrease in snowfall as more of the winter/spring precipitation falls as rain. As a result, stream flows from late fall to early spring are expected to be slightly greater, while flows in late spring, summer and early fall are expected to be smaller, thus adding to the current constraints on fish and water users in late summer. Spring run-off will likely occur sooner on average and annual total wat er yield will likely increase.

In 2012, the Kettle River was listed the fourth most endangered river in British Columbia.

Cost and Installation Process 10. What is the cost of the water meter program? The City of Grand Forks was successful in obtaining $1.3 M in funding through the Federal Gas Tax program. This is expected to cover the cost of installation – a huge benefit for our community. This is also a key reason why the City is not required to hold a referendum to ask to borrow the money, unlike some other communities in BC.

11. Who will be installing the water meters? During Spring 2014, the City of Grand Forks will issue a Request For Proposals from qualified contractors to install the water meters. Once a qualified contractor is hired, the City will host another open house. Water meter installation is expected to start in 2014. 12. What make and model of water meters will be used? The exact make and model of the water meters will be determined once a contractor has been determined.

13. How much will it cost to have a water meter installed in my home? The details and options available will be finalized once the final contractor is determined. During the installation phase of the program (2014/2015), it is expected that there will be no charge to Grand Forks residents to have a water meter installed inside the home, as this project will be funded through the Federal Gas Tax Fund.

14. Will citizens have a choice whether to have a water meter installed? The details and options available will be finalized once the final contractor is determined; however, it’s expected that residents can choose to have a pit meter installed at the curb but will have to pay the difference between the house install and the curb install. It is expected that most meters will be installed inside the house. 15. Will there be a limit on water rates and how much rates can increase over time? Water rates will be discussed by council in 2015, after residents have had the opportunity to see how much water they are using on the “mock bills.” That information will be used to develop a sustainable rate structure that meets the needs of our water system and our community.

It’s been another great year for solar cars in the Boundary. This year’s Solar Car Competition was sponsored by the City of Grand Forks and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, which paid for the car kits and the prizes. Grade 6/7 students at Christina Lake (CLES), Perley and Hutton were challenged to build the most beautiful car, the fastest car and the most original machine. This is the fourth year the schools have done this event and there is now a storehouse of solar panels, motors and axels. Students often supplement these supplied materials with other toy parts from home. There is never a shortage of ideas. For the first time this year students were challenged to build machines other than cars with the equipment. Two students from CLES built the very first solar boat, while students from Perley built an elevator and a plane. At Hutton there

was even a solar shoe! The complexity and skill level has increased every year as students grapple with the concepts of power, traction, balance and style. Volunteers from the environment committee—Paul Pinard, Gary Smith and Chris Moslin— reintroduced students in each school to the project in early May. Students worked in pairs and designed and built their own cars over a three-week period in their regular science classes. Students then decided the most beautiful and most original machines by secret ballot. In exciting race events held this week by the volunteers, the title of fastest car at each school was determined by a series of five car heats.

A little awareness

goes a long way

May was Motorcycle Awareness Month and RHC Insurance sponsored its annual awareness event at the Overwaitea parking lot. The event featured a show and shine, an awareness ride to Rock Creek, prizes and giveaways, and Spring Roadshow demos by Kane’s Harley Davidson. All proceeds from the day went to BETHS (Boundary Emergency and Transition Housing Society). Winners of the show and shine were: Men’s – first, Neil Gillespie, and second, Brian Day, both of Grand Forks; Ladies – first, Sharon Ruck of Curlew, Wash., and second, Elaine Negraeff of Grand Forks. Winner of the best hand in the awareness run was April Stein of Grand Forks. (Photos at left) Lynn Relph of Grand Forks rode away with a trophy on her 1985 Kawasaki for the best kept vintage bike; organizer Diane Muscroft discusses the event with Harmon; Sharon and Joe from Curlew, Wash., check out a Royal Enfield; and, both women and men were part of the day’s activities.

From Council Chambers

ow that the nice weather is here, Council will be celebrating a few of the initiatives that were focused on over the winter months. On Friday, June 13th at 1:30 pm come visit Observation Mountain and have a look at the upgrades to the trail and the newly erected bat house. The upgraded trail looks great and the City has installed a kiosk that provides tourism information. Keep your eyes open for the red kiosks throughout town at the Flour Mill, Spraggett Bridge parking lot, City Campground, and Observation Mountain. The kiosks provide all sorts of current information on recreational activities that are available in the area, from tubing to mountain biking to ATVing in the back country. The bat houses are an initiative of the Environment Committee that was brought to Council for approval last year. These bat houses were erected in the hopes of improving the bat population. Both the kiosks and the bat houses were built by the communities very own Boundary Wood Workers Guild and Council would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to them for the beautiful work done on both of these projects. This partnership makes us proud!! After the ribbon cutting for the kiosks, Council will head to City Park to celebrate and share with the public more great work done by the Environment Committee in the Riparian Area along the river. An educational sign has been designed and is in place detailing what a riparian area

is, what species can be found in this particular area around City Park, why this is a sensitive area, and what the public can do to help protect the area. Council welcomes the City’s two Brazilian Engineering Students, who joined us at the beginning of May and will work with the City, Kettle River Water Shed Project, and with the Granby Wilderness Society throughout the summer. Say hello to Maitê Machado Bayer and Felipe Rodrigo Pinheiro Rafael if you see them around this summer. The City has been preparing to amp up its economic development program and has developed an Economic Profile that is available on the website at www.grandforks.ca and in hard copy. Council has determined to increase the City’s readiness for potential investors and business attraction programs. On June 18th, from 12 pm-4 pm, the City is hosting a Development Showcase at gallery 2 for residents, stakeholders, builders, planners, developers, community groups, and businesses who are interested in opportunities regarding City property and the promotion of development and building opportunities. It is one of Council’s strategic priorities to attract new business to the area.

the bylaw such as increasing the special voting locations to include more of the assisted living complexes in the community and making it easier for some seniors to vote, by bringing voting to them. At the same meeting, a proposed Automated Voting Machine Bylaw was introduced and will be taken to the June 9th Regular Meeting for consideration of the first three readings. Pavement rehabilitation for 68th Avenue was brought forward and approved at the May 26th Regular Meeting. The area covered will include Kettle River Drive to 19th Street and work is expected to be completed throughout the summer. Enjoy the warm weather!

Municipal Elections take place on November 15th this year. The introduction of the proposed new Elections Bylaw was brought forward for Council’s consideration at the May 26th Regular Meeting. There were additions made to

WATER – EVERY DROP COUNTS

Abiding to sprinkler regulations pays dividends. When using water responsibly and within regulations, power and operational costs are reduced saving our community money. Energy reduction also relates to less greenhouse gas emissions and less draw from our aquifer.

Water Restrictions A reminder that water restrictions are in place in the City of Grand Forks “EVEN” numbered civic addresses may sprinkle on “even” numbered days between the hours of 7am until 9am and 7pm until 9pm “ODD” numbered civic addresses may sprinkle on “odd” numbered days between the hours of 7am until 9am and 7pm until 9pm Sprinkling will be monitored by Bylaw Enforcement.

Solar car construction took place at Perley, Hutton and Christina Lake schools this year. Once again students have delighted us with their ingenuity and enthusiasm to make solar power work for them!

Water Conversation Easy tips to help conserve water and still maintain a beautiful lawn and garden: • During the spring, watering is on Mother Nature’s tab and she usually provides more than enough rainfall to meet your lawn and garden needs. Best of all...rain is free! • Delay turning your sprinklers on in the spring and you’ll encourage a deeper, stronger and healthier roots system – better able to withstand the heat of summer. Or set your timers to water in the early morning hours. • Once you do turn on your sprinkler, most lawns

only need about 2.5 centimetres of water per week — this is the depth of a tuna can! For this amount, you only need to sprinkle your yard once a week, even during the summer. • Watering your lawn for 1 hour uses approximately 1,000 litres of water, which is equivalent to 5 dishwasher loads, 5 loads of laundry and 25 toilet flushes combined! • Check outdoor faucets, pipes and hoses for leaks. You could be saving 40 to 110 litres/day just by doing a little spring maintenance. • Use a broom to clean the winter grit off your walk-

way and driveway rather than a hose. • When you head off to the nursery for spring plants, be sure to look for drought tolerant types well suited to life in sunny Grand Forks! • Now is a good time to add a few inches of compost or mulch such as bark chips to your garden to keep your plants’ roots cool and moist come summer. • Adjust your sprinklers so that water does not run down your driveway, sidewalks or street. • Collect water in a rain barrel and use it to water outdoor plants.

Get involved at triathlon Volunteers are the most important resource community organizations have. The ability of people to work willingly together for the betterment of their community and themselves is a valuable resource. The image of the volunteer has changed over time. Ideally, volunteers find the donation of their time and energy a meaningful experience for themselves as well as for organizations or communities. It is a true win/win situation for your personal achievement and community involvement. The Pharmasave Christina Lake Triathlon is basically run by the volunteers of Christina Lake and area. This event would not be possible without the help from all the volunteers who come out and assist with traffic control, timing and recording and all the other jobs that are involved in making this event successful. If you and your friends would like to get involved in this year’s event, we are stilling looking for volunteers. Please give us a call at 250442-2202 or email at gfplay@rdkb.com.

Van Ek returns to coach Piranhas

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Entering into her sophomore year as head coach of the Grand Forks Piranhas swim team, Robyn Van Ek is excited about the prospects of her young charges. The team just finished their first meet last weekend in Nelson after training for just over a month. Van Ek is a former Piranha herself, having swam with the club since she moved with her family to Grand Forks in 2007. After leaving Grand Forks Secondary School in Grade 11, Van Ek graduated from Claremont Secondary School in Victoria. She then moved away to Calgary for university but has returned the last couple of years to coach the swim club. Since there are no age limits for swimming, Van Ek, as well as her assistant coaches, also swims for the club. Van Ek said the practices have gone well so far and she’s pleased to see so many swimmers out. “We started out really strong,” she said. “We have about 45 kids in the club. Our first practice, the pool was packed. We have a lot of new swimmers this year. It’s great to have them and be able to teach them. It’s been really positive so far.” The Piranhas had 25 swimmers compete in Nelson. The ages of the swimmers range from 6- to 16-year-olds. “The kids are all about team spirit,” said Van Ek. “We’re very family-oriented.

We’re a very friendly club; very welcoming. The kids love being in the pool, playing games and having fun and improving their strokes.” Van Ek adds that there are some very competitive swimmers in the club that she expects will excel this season. Van Ek enjoys watching the kids improve and is looking forward to her third year as a coach with the Piranhas. “I really like seeing the kids enjoy themselves and enjoy the sport I grew up doing and loving,” she said. “I really try to create an environment through coaching that let’s them just develop their passion for the sport. It’s based on passion, dedication and commitment to practicing and working hard.” The club practices four times a week in the afternoons as well as twice a week in the mornings before school. Van Ek said she was drawn to swimming to satisfy her competitive urges. “I love to race,” she said. “I’m a huge competitor. I grew up as a ‘water child.’ I joined summer swim late at 10 years old. I just developed a love for the sport. I love everything about it: training, competing, developing as a team.” The Piranhas are back in the pool on Saturday (June 7) as they host their home meet at the Grand Forks Aquatic Centre. “It’s our home meet so hopefully we’ll have all 45 swimmers show up ready to swim,” said Van Ek. “There’s going to be quite a few kids who haven’t swam in a swim meet before so it’ll be really nice to

get them out seeing what it’s like and having fun.” Teams joining the Piranhas at the meet are Trail Stingrays, Nelson Neptunes, Castlegar Aquanauts, Colville Sharks and Creston Wave. The swimmers will be attempting to improve their times all season in preparation for the regional meet which will take place Aug. 2-3 in Trail. The top three swimmers from each category at the regionals will qualify for the provincial meet in Kamloops August 15-17. Nelson meet The Piranhas did very well in their first swim meet of the season on May 31 in Nelson. “The team trained hard throughout the winter and it paid off this weekend with 21 of 25 swimmers achieving best times,” said coach Robyn Van Ek. Kiyomi Dunnet was named the swimmer of the meet. “Her technical improvement, increased physical strength and sheer determination resulted in six best times,” said Van Ek. Dunnet also achieved a provincial qualifying time (PQT) in the 50 meter backstroke event. “Swimmers don’t usually achieve a PQT until later in the season, but Kiyomi already has a head start.” Gold Medals: Kiyomi Dunnet - Division 3 Girls Leena Corbeil - Division 5 Girls Trentin Ludwar - Division 7 Boys

Mackey retires after 21 years as rec director CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

He started his career offering recreation for soldiers in the Canadian armed forces and will end it in Grand Forks offering recreation programs for the residents of our community. After 21 years as director of recreation programming and facilities for the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, John Mackey will be retiring at the end of July. He came to Grand Forks with his wife planning to stay for maybe five years and move on, but they ended up liking it so much they never left. “We just fell in love with the valley and ended up selling any holdings we had on the coast and really put down roots here,” said Mackey. As director of programming and facilities, Mackey is in charge of the development of community programming and recreational leisure, and the overseeing of the RDKB rec facilities at Grand Forks. Mackey has several projects he has overseen over the years that he is proud of. Chief among them is the ongoing arena maintenance at Jack Goddard Memorial Arena (formerly Grand Forks Arena). “We’ve done a lot—we’ve basically got a 20-year maintenance program going,” he said. “As of late, we have totally rebuilt the refrigeration system. They’re not cheap facilities to run by any means but as long as you maintain them, they’ll continue to thrive.” He’s also proud of the aquatic centre. “We’re blessed to have an facility like that in a community this size,” said Mackey. “It’s also expensive to run. I totally enjoy the energy conservation that we’ve done since 2007. “The solar heating, heat recovery, it

pays its dividends. We’ve cut our natural gas consumption by over 40 per cent.” Some of the upcoming projects that Mackey has been a big part of include the community garden, as well as the outdoor fitness centre, which will be set up this summer on the south side of the aquatic centre. One of the current trends that troubles Mackey is the reduction in number of youth in the community which leads to lower numbers of youth signing up for team sports such as hockey, swimming and figure skating. “When I came here in 1993, minor hockey had over 200 kids,” he said. “Last year, I don’t know if they made it to 90 kids. Those are some of the challenges (we’ve had to face).” By comparison, numbers have steadily risen in the enrolment of participants in adult sports. Mackey has seen the recent shift in recreation from youth programming to more adult and family oriented activities. “Our growth area right now are the Boomers,” he said. “They’re in their peak. So our adult program is going to keep growing, I think.” The Christina Lake Triathlon is another event that GFREC manages that Mackey is proud of. “It’s going into its tenth year,” he said. “There’s not a lot of events that last that long but people keep coming back. It’s just been great. We added the kids event (minitriathlon) a few years back.” Another trend Mackey sees is the shift towards non-directed activities. He gives a lot of that credit to the city for their work on the trails system. “The trails are busy,” he said. “There are a lot of active people out there. We want to know how we can get more of the runners. There are lots of people who pre-

fer to walk on their own or run on their own.” Before coming to Grand Forks, Mackey was in West Vancouver teaching at a private school. Before that, he was at graduate school at the University of Victoria. He began his initial training in recreation programming in the Canadian Armed Force. He spent 16 years in Ontario and Saskatchewan with the military. “Our goal was the training of the troops,” he said. “We also did community recreation on the bases where I served.” Mackey and his wife, whom he met at UVic, love the slower pace and outdoor fo-

cus of living in the Boundary. “I love the four seasons,” he said, “after spending years at the coast where there are two seasons: rainy and rainier. We love being to step out our door and go for a bike ride, go skiing, it’s all right there. You don’t have to go through city traffic to go anywhere.” Mackey said the RDKB has yet to name his successor. He expects the position to be filled at some point this summer. He anticipates there may be some changes to the position but that there will definitely continue to be a manager on site at the Grand Forks recreation centre.

This same Good Shepherd had told His disciples that He was going back to heaven to prepare a place for them and that He would come back and take them to where He was. But then He offered the key to the great hope of eternal life: “I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” A verse of a very well-known song expresses it this way: “Jesus loves me He who died, heaven’s gate to open wide; He will wash away my sin, let His little child come in.” This is some of what I shared with my dying friend. I believe from subsequent conversations that he acted on these truths that I shared with him and while his earthly tent is fading away he has found the hope that he was looking and longing for.

VANDALISM SENSELESS Last week seven nestling boxes for birds located in Grand Forks’ west end were willfully smashed. Sadly, in some cases the boxes contained wren, swallow or bluebird eggs, and in one instance, five bluebird fledglings that were still being fed by the parents.

D-Day

Remember those who ensured our freedom. June 6th marks 70 years since allied troops landed on the beaches in Normandy in 1944. The largest invasion fleet ever assembled landed 156,000 troops on five beach heads in Normandy. D-Day was the turning point of WWII and a day to remember. Canadian troops landed that day on Juno beach and were courageous.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING WHEREAS Section 890 of the Local Government Act requires that a Public Hearing be held prior to the adoption of a Zoning Bylaw amendment. TAKE NOTICE that a Public Hearing respecting Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) proposed Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1551 will be held on: MONDAY, JUNE 9, 2014 AT 7:00 P.M. IN THE RDKB GRAND FORKS OFFICE BOARD ROOM 2140 CENTRAL AVENUE, GRAND FORKS, BC Proposed Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1551 would amend the Electoral Area ‘D’ Zoning Bylaw No. 1299, 2005 by: - adding a new zone “Rural Resource 1A“ (RUR 1A) which would allow a “Kennel” to operate as a permitted secondary use. A ”Kennel” is a building, structure, compound or group of pens or cages where dogs, cats other domestic pets, or exotic pets are, or intended to be, trained, cared for, bred, boarded or kept for commercial purposes. The Regional District Board of Directors will approve a rezoning to permit a kennel if they consider it is in the public interest. In considering a rezoning application, the Board will consider the proximity of the kennel to other land uses in the area, the potential noise and visual impacts, and other matters they deem relevant. If approved, the proposed amending bylaw will allow a kennel on the subject property (see map below) and rezone the subject property from “Rural Resource 1” to “Rural Resource 1A” Zone. This zoning amendment is specific to this one parcel, and does not rezone any other parcels. Applicant: Ken Smith Location: Lot B, DL 3231s, SDYD, Plan 32523 6015 Athelston-Hartford Road, Rural Grand Forks, Electoral Area ‘D’

The proposed amendment bylaws, staff reports and related information may be examined between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM at the RDKB TRAIL office, 202-843 Rossland Avenue, Trail, B.C., and between 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM at the GRAND FORKS RDKB office, 2140 Central Avenue, Grand Forks, BC, Monday through Friday, (excluding statutory holidays). Telephone inquiries may be made by calling the RDKB Planning and Development Department, Toll Free, at 1-800-355-7352 or 250-368-9148. Email inquiries may be sent to plandept@rdkb.com. Copies of the proposed bylaws will be provided upon request. The Public Hearing is to be held by a delegate of the RDKB Board. A copy of the Board resolution making the delegation is available for public inspection. At the Public Hearing, any person who believes that their interest in property may be affected by matters contained in the proposed amendment bylaws will be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions. Written submissions not presented at the Public Hearing must be received by the Office of the Manager of Corporate Administration (Trail office) before 4:30 PM the day of the Public Hearing. NO PRESENTATIONS WILL BE RECEIVED BY THE RDKB BOARD OF DIRECTORS AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING Elaine Kumar Manager of Corporate Administration
