“I think it’s worth the risk,” he said. “I think if they suspend us it’ll look bad because they (the teachers) are going on strike so why shouldn’t we.”

GFSS principal Scott Stewart confirmed that seven to nine students walked out throughout the day. He said the students were not disciplined for protesting.

Students in Grand Forks and throughout B.C. could be in for an early vacation this year, whether they want it or not.

Teachers across the province voted on Monday and Tuesday on whether to go to a full strike.

The results were unavailable at press time.

With a positive strike vote, teachers would be on strike as early as Monday, June 16.

The full strike would be the latest in a series of escalating tactics used by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) to apply pressure to the government to get a new and improved collective bargaining agreement.

“Ultimately, we’re hoping a strong strike vote

“We’re protesting against the government and teachers because they’re taking days away from our education and that’s not fair to us,” said Keegan Kenyon.

Kenyon said he was invited on Facebook to participate in the student walkout. The group had 13,000 students registered through the Facebook site.

“We’re not siding with either group—we just want them to settle their dispute so our education can go back to normal,” said Kenyon.

City hosts ‘showcase’ CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The City of Grand Forks is open for business.

That’s the message the city is spreading with their upcoming Development Showcase, which goes from 12 until 6 p.m. on June 18 at gallery 2.

The showcase, which is free and open to all, features three different sessions ranging from a development lands overview presentation to a business immigration session and an employer information session for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

The day starts with an open house with appetizers and refreshments from 12 – 12:30 p.m. followed by the first session, which is regarding development lands overview, and land use and optimization discussions.

“The idea behind the project is to work with the development industry on spurring on development and investment into our community,” said Doug Allin, city administrative officer. “The city owns 114 properties that we wanted to have businesses and developers have a look at providing investment into to spur on our economy.”

Allin said the main goal of the project is to generate revenue for the community so the city doesn’t have to worry about increasing taxes.

“We have to broaden the tax base rather than having to look at further increases,” he said. “The

idea behind this is to work with the Urban Development Institute, which is an organization that represents the development industry; further, to take our project on the road once we’ve communicated with our community to find out what some of our challenges will be.”

Allin said the properties have been acquired by the city over the years, but there hasn’t been a long-term plan in place.

Following the development lands overview are two sessions regarding the Provincial Nominee Program: the business immigration session (3 p.m.) and the employer information session (4 p.m.)

The PNP program is an economic immigration program designed to help B.C. meet its evolving labour market needs. The program is a tool for employers to attract and retain qualified foreign workers who have the skills and experience to contribute to B.C.’s economy.

“There’s two programs—one that’s aimed at investors and one that’s aimed at skilled employment labour,” said Wendy McCulloch, general manager of Community Futures Boundary. “What we’ve done with these programs is provide options under the PNP for immigrant entrepreneurs so they get fast-tracked into Canada if they are an investor in a business here.”

For the second PNP session, McCulloch said it’s aimed at businesses in the region that need skilled workers but can’t fill those positions.

Community rallies behind Lajoie family CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

They say you can tell who your real friends are when things aren’t going well.

For the owners of Value Drug Mart, Carol and Dave Lajoie, it’s clear to see they have plenty of friends throughout the area.

Dave Lajoie is battling cancer in an Edmonton hospital, and the stress of expenses—while operating a full-service drug store—are proving overwhelming.

The family calls the North Fork area home, as did Carol’s parents for many years. It was where Carol grew up, and where she returned with her own family.

Now members of the North Fork Community Club are rallying behind the family by hosting an old-fashioned barn dance to raise money to help with expenses through this difficult time.

The barn dance takes place on Saturday, June 28 at 6 p.m. at the Brown Creek Community Hall and will feature square dancing with live band YOMADA as well as a silent auction and a bake sale.

“We were thinking of doing something and we hadn’t done anything in the community for awhile,” said Tanis Piccini, one of the organizers. “The idea of doing a barn dance came up and we also knew

that we wanted to do something for Dave and Carol. We figured this would be a great opportunity to do something fun for the community and help out a local family.”

Piccini said Carol’s mother Jean is still an active member in the North Fork club.

She adds that Carol and Dave have always been very supportive of the club’s events and have often donated items.

Pi ccini says that the barn dance will feature square dancing with YOMADA (Young Old-Time Music and Dance Association) from Victoria.

The band features one-time local boy Damian Ritchie, she said. “The band comes with a dance caller who teaches all in attendance what to do, so no matter your dancing experience it should be a great time for the whole family. It’s going to be a high energy, happy fun family event. It’s going to be great fun.”

Tickets are available from any club member, or at WD Sheetmetal and at the Gazette office as well as the door. Suggested donation is $10 per person or $20 for the whole family. All ages are welcome.

All money raised will go to help the Lajoie family with travel costs and medical expenses.

The Lajoies have owned and operated

NOTICE

from Dr. H.C. Ajaero This is to inform all of my patients that I along with my family have decided to relocate to another community by the end of August 2014.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my numerous patients across the Boundary region for their patronage and support, and for giving me the opportunity to serve you. God bless you all.

Value Drug Mart in downtown Grand Forks for 18 years. Carol has been actively involved with the local chamber of commerce and became the first chair of the Grand Forks Downtown Business Association.

In October 2012, Dave was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma. He received treatment and was doing much better but then in February he became sick with pneumonia.

“At that time they were able to tell that his cancer had come back,” said Carol.

“He is presently in Edmonton receiving treatment for the cancer. He has received therapy including chemotherapy. He is currently going through the process of getting a stem cell transplant using his own stem cells.”

Rather than struggle trying to operate the drug store as well find a temporary pharmacist, the Lajoies made the tough decision to shut down the store.

“We were looking at Dave being gone for a year,” she said. “It’s difficult to get relief pharmacists and they’re very expensive. It left me in the position of having to manage this business by myself, worry about bringing in pharmacists, and look after two small children.”

The Lajoies made the decision to avoid

a lengthy sale process. The pharmacy was sold to Extra Foods. A short time after, the photo lab was sold to Neighbours Computers.

“That was the quickest way to do it,” said Carol. “If we’d have gone to market, who knows how long it would have taken.”

Carol is appreciative of the efforts made by the North Fork Community Club with putting on the barn dance and helping out the family.

“All the time I’ve lived in Grand Forks, I’ve lived up the North Fork,” said Carol.

“It’s a really close knit community up there. One of the ladies up there actually approached my mother about the barn dance and asked if Dave and I would be okay with it. Dave and I talked about it and were very humbled and honoured that the community would want to do this for us.”

Carol adds that the community has been “amazing” with all their support.

“We really appreciate all the cards and the well wishes we’ve got and some of the great things people have done like bring food, gifts and helping out with the kids,” she said. “It’s been pretty incredible, the support we’ve had from the community.”

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF GRAND FORKS NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING AND REPORT In accordance with Section 99 of the Community Charter, please take notice that the required Annual Meeting of Council, as prescribed under the Community Charter, will take place on Monday, June 23rd, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers, at temporary City Hall, located at 6641 Industrial Parkway, Grand Forks, B.C.

Editorial

iNSIGHT your news view

Heroes are everywhere If this week’s paper is about anything, it’s heroes. Most weeks our paper doesn’t have themes. You might see a trend: several break-ins, some local events, council bylaws, but those are just us reporting on the news that happens in our community.

Themes are much more prevalent in magazines or TV shows. But I think you’ll notice this week’s paper has several stories about people who could be considered heroes.

I’ll start with the local RCMP. The tragedy in Moncton has certainly brought to the forefront the level of danger the police face everyday; even in “sleepy” rural town like Grand Forks.

These officers put their lives on the line on a daily basis to keep us safe.

Both sides of the teacher/government dispute are breaking out the rhetoric and digging in their feet.

But whether you agree with their union tactics or not, the job that teachers do is nothing less than heroic.

They may not be saving lives directly, but you know who the good teachers are and how they can inspire and lead youth to make good choices and positive contributions to society.

Everyone that took part in the Boundary Relay for Life should be commended for the part they played in raising money for cancer research and programs.

Guest speaker Natalie Schafer and former GFSS student Molly Imrie are two local examples of the great work done by the Canadian Cancer Society. Both of them are true heroes in our book for battling and winning over that heinous disease.

So if you’re wondering where all the heroes are, just look around—they’re everywhere.

A step forward and a step back On The Ball CRAIG LINDSAY I remember when I was young lad, we used to go outside and play in the streets.

We played games like kick the can and street hockey and hide and seek. It was a simpler time. When our parents wanted us to come in they’d just yell out the front door.

I can still hear my dad’s booming voice, calling my name from the front door. It didn’t matter where I was—I heard and I made sure I was home within a few minutes.

I’m sure kids today still play outside occasionally. But now they’re much more likely to be involved in some kind of organized sports league or community group.

I mean that’s all good and fine. I played minor hockey and was in boy scouts and that was a few times a week. But these kids today are booked up solid from after school until late in the evening every

day of the week. Parents have to coordinate schedules and when and where to pick up little Jimmy and little Jenny.

And now kids are getting cell phones at younger and younger ages. Instead of my dad shouting at me to get my butt in the house for dinner, he probably would’ve just text messaged me.

Of course cell phones aren’t just for phoning and messaging. Today’s phones are multimedia devices, hundreds of times more powerful than the computers we had when I went to university.

Now people get in touch using Facebook, Skype, Twitter, Foursquare and before that MySpace.

Sure, this new technology has made keeping in touch with old friends and family a breeze, but at what cost?

Do you really need to know what your second cousin had for dinner or what your college buddy favourite TV show is?

What happens when we gather for a drink at the local public house or restaurant for a nice meal? Everyone starts

staring into their phones.

How soon until face to face communication is completely lost?

That said, I do appreciate having next week’s weather, movie times, or sports scores at my ready.

I also like to occasionally play games like Angry Birds or Candy Crush Saga.

What I can’t stand, I mean, really can’t stand, is having to deal with so many passwords.

I use a password to get into my phone; another one to get into my computer at home and at work; and another for my bank accounts, sports sites, emails, phone bill, cable bill, and so on. This is ridiculous.

When you sign up for an app like Facebook or Skype or Twitter, you need to register.

So you go through the process of putting down your name, address, phone number, date of birth, email (don’t forget that password) and so on.

Same with any computer or video game you want to play nowadays. Want to play the new Watch Dogs? You already paid the $60 for the game?

Great, but now you have to

Hmmm, you think, was that my usual password? Or the version with my dog’s maiden name? And now passwords are getting more and more complicated. Now you usually need an upper case letter, a number and probably the batman logo.

Not to mention many programs will lock you out after a few tries. So that’s fun. Do you take a chance on the fifth and final try? Or try and remember where you wrote that password down or where you saved it? And if you don’t get locked out you’ll at least get the always fun Captcha word.

Good luck figuring that out.

I, for one, yearn for simpler times. In fact I think I’ll go for a walk now. Although it does look kind of hot outside and there’s lots of bugs. I wonder what Siri has to say?

to the editor

‘Unfair’ Elections Act: Part II

Accusations unfounded Editor, The Gazette, Are there no olive branches in the wild west? Some sour neighbourly relations have been plaguing a local ranch. Systematic complaints and suspicions regarding animal welfare are peppering the SPCA, most perhaps anonymously. From my perspective the accusations are either unfounded, disproportionate or not matters for the SPCA to remedy. It seems they are using “projected hypochondrianism” to subvert the operation of the ranch.

Since the authorities are obliged to follow up all complaints, it seems they are being used as weapons by the accusers.

Is the location a problem? Is it a liability to be so transparent with clear views for prying eyes? Is this the community backyard that consensus prefers to see manicured? Are gentle hobby farms and rigorous urban sprawl casting a shadow on the rugged nature of ranching? When this rancher started out, it was pretty much at the edge of the world; there was no Spaggett Bridge so there was no traf-

fic. They became self-sufficient, thus directly supporting the local economy.

They grew hay locally and did not range on Crown land. Community relations led to routine assistance to other animal owners with helpful advice and also care for animals with special needs and disabilities.

The endless responsibilities added up to a 24/7 life with plenty of sleepless nights. Now throw in the added burden of watchful eyes and birds of prey.

Leave the needles and pins where they belong; there are plenty of mosquitoes in left field Don’t forget Grand Forks was once farmland, but with urbanization comes an urban attitude. Such an attitude seriously threatens the very existence of the AIR. Add to that the close ties between consumerism and globalization that decimate the very ability of a community to feed itself, let alone the willingness to work with local producers.

S. Ewasyn, Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette: An open letter to Christy Clark and the Government of B.C.: As a parent of a child with special needs and a professional in the field of support, it is very disheartening to observe the disconnect the Government of B.C. has with the children, youth and families of today. I want our voice to be heard before our daughter enters the public school system and therefore I write you this…

Today, more and more children are diagnosed with special needs. For instance, one in 88 children is now reported to have autism. But the umbrella of special needs covers so much more than just autism.

There has been a dramatic increase in cognitive, behavioural and special learning needs as well. And when these special children enter the school system, the degree to which their support needs are being met is questionable to say the least. Thank goodness B.C. teachers are taking a stand!

Yes, there is a dramatic increase in the number and degree of special needs in today’s society! So, yes there is an increased need in the schools and the community and yes more funding

is required to meet that need!

B.C.’s special needs children and youth require specialized, individual direct service support in the education system and in the community. Please hear the plea of B.C.’s teachers. They want the best for all of B.C.’s children: smaller class sizes; more support for special needs and wages that support the increase in the cost of living… something ALL B.C. families would want as well and benefit from in turn.

In closing it is imperative to note that today’s research indicates that for every dollar invested in children and youth that the return is up to seven times the initial investment! That should be enough long-term motivation for you and your government, Christy. Perhaps even cutting wages of your government officials by two per cent could help re-invest some extra dollars into B.C.’s special children and our educational system? What a noble approach that would be!

Thank you for considering the needs of others first and addressing this emergent issue in a timely and respectful manner.

to the editor

Stolen scooter just one of many thefts

Editor, The Gazette: A few weeks ago, someone cut through the chain link fence of a locked compound in Grand Forks and stole my electric scooter ($2,000 value). Due to a disability, I am not able to drive, so not only did they steal my scooter, they stole my way of getting to work.

A few years ago I had my bicycle stolen from the A&W bike rack (locked up), and last year I had my camera stolen and later sold back to me!

These thieves don’t work, they make a living from selling other people’s things that they steal. I know several people who have had things stolen, just look in the paper every week. It’s a sad state of affairs when a locked compound isn’t good enough, we need motion lights and alarms to protect what we have worked for.

Please be aware and phone the police if you witness any suspicious activity or if you have any information about stolen items.

Dave Jackson, Grand Forks

Honey bee day ironic Editor, The Gazette: I find it an irony that the B.C. government is proclaiming a B.C. honey bee day, despite the lobbying for genetically modified apples and Roundup-ready alfalfa, and despite the severe and perverse herbicides doused on the roadsides (Tordon K22, good for 10 years of soil destruction).

I find it ironic that Monsanto has a bee centre open in North Carolina, publishes a children’s bee book (in which, yes, the bees are in trouble, but that can be fixed by guess who); and that our Roundup councillor put forward a motion in that same direction, honorong the bees. Very strange, all, but thanks for the effort.

We can’t be sure about water use Editor, The Gazette: On May 15, I shared some information with city council: 1. One engineering study suggested we could use 20 per cent less water by installing water meters, while another suggested from six per cent to 16 per cent. Wikipedia states, “There is disagreement as to the effect of metering and water pricing on water consumption.”

Now, an engineering report is making recommendations based on a 20 per cent reduction in water use target, when that is not guaranteed and we haven’t achieved it yet.

2. Fourteen years ago, a cost analysis was done—how much money we could spend on water meters versus how much money we may save by installing them. Things have changed since then: technology, population, water system, finances...

A 2005 study recommended, “A re-calculation of the cost-benefit analysis be undertaken prior to initiating a universal metering program.” I have not found a detailed and current financial analysis in the reports.

Is it not wise to have an updated detailed financial evaluation on the proposed installation of residential water meters before investing over $1 million?

3. One of the reports states that not necessarily all city “water connections” going to industry are metered and suggests they all be metered.

Bylaws 1822 and 1673 state that each industry is required to have one water meter. These bylaws do not require that all of an industry’s connections to city water be metered.

Is it important to our council to have all industry connections to city water metered? Are

they interested in creating a bylaw for this?

4. A water audit was done for our city based on 2009 measurements and estimations. To calculate our estimated per person residential use, they started with the total amount of water pumped out of our city wells. From this, they subtracted water meter measurements (industrial, commercial...) as well as other estimated uses. But, not necessarily all of industry’s connections were metered, so not necessarily all of their water use was measured.

So, we can’t be certain that Grand Forks residents actually used as much as 720 litres each per day.

5. An engineering report had recommended the water audit, including testing of existing large water meters to determine if their readings were accurate. In the report that presented the audit, there was no mention of any testing having been done as part of the audit. However, it did state, “Apparent losses are not well known but could be high for large commercial and industrial customers (meter accuracy decreases as flow range increases).” As meters age, they generally do not measure all the water flowing through them.

Once again, we can’t be sure that residents used as much as 720 litres each per day.

If residents have not been using as much water as has been estimated, then metering them is unlikely to lead to the amount of water conservation hoped for.

And, as is stated in one of the plans, “... the cost to implement the [universal water metering] program is higher than other programs per volume of water saved...”

Techers vote on full strike

itself will be enough to put pressure on the bargaining table to get a deal done,” said Norm Sabourin, president of the Boundary District Teachers’ Association. “We still don’t want to escalate this any further. We feel like we’re being pushed into a corner. If the government is unwilling to bargain in good faith— escalation is where we may have to go.”

The vote comes just after the government came to a tentative deal with the education support staff.

Teachers in the Boundary (SD51) will strike next on Friday, June 13 as part of rotating strike action.

Although, there is no school on Friday, the strike is meant to allow local teachers the opportunity to make up for lost pay since they only work four days in a week as opposed to the five that most school districts in B.C. do.

“Given that we’re on the four day week—every day our teachers are on strike we are deducted in the neighbourhood of 1.25 days of work,” said Sabourin. “We’re deducted much more than one full day compared to teachers across the province.”

Sabourin said SD51 teachers will not be picketing schools on Friday, but he says they are planning for a rally in Grand Forks.

The teachers will meet at 10 a.m. at the Boundary Teachers’ Association of-

fice by Flexus Gym for some general information. They will then head down to Perley Elementary School at around 11 a.m. for a rally on the lawn.

“There will be some speeches,” said Sabourin. “We’ll have a rally there.

We’re not picketing. We’re not blocking anyone from working.”

Sabourin said the rally is open to any concerned citizens who want to come out and show support for the teachers and public education.

The graduations at Grand Forks Secondary on Friday, and Boundary Central Secondary on Saturday, are not expected to be affected by the strike action.

Both high school principals have made contingency plans for having grad without the teachers’ participation, said Kevin Argue, superintendent for SD51.

“Advice has been given to teachers that they shouldn’t be participating in the event itself,” said Sabourin. “If teachers want to just sit in the audience and observe, the union is not stopping them.”

Sabourin said that if the BCTF goes to a full scale strike, teachers would not grade final exams or give final grades.

“The union stance would be that if we are on strike we do not work and if we’re not working we can’t do finals, we can’t do report cards, we can’t do any of that,” said Sabourin. “If we’re on strike

Continued from page 1

or lock out— we do not work. Once that happens, we do not make up struck work.”

Sabourin said the BCTF is hoping the strike vote will put enough pressure on the government to get a deal done.

“We’re hoping this will be enough pressure on the government for them to determine they really want final exams to happen, they want report cards to happen, they want all the year end activities to happen; therefore, they really need to come to the table and bargain in good faith and that won’t happen,” he said.

Education minister Peter Fassbender has stated that the government intends to ensure that all students in grade 10-12 will have their final exams graded.

In a press release, Fassbender stated: “While we are disappointed with the BCTF’s plans to escalate to a full walkout, this in no way changes our resolve to get an agreement by the end of June.”

He added that, “A full strike is only going to keep more students out of their classrooms, create more disruptions for parents, while teachers and support workers caught in the middle will lose even more in wages.

“There is no bottomless pit of money, and the rotating strikes are certainly not going to help teachers and support workers pocketbooks.”

Thanks for the support

POLICE BRIEFS

The Grand Forks RCMP would like to thank the community for the support they have received after the tragic loss of three RCMP officers in Moncton.

“We’d really like to say our thanks to everyone who has recognized the tragic incident in Moncton—several cards have come into our office as well as flowers and some balloons,” said Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. “We truly appreciate the support from the community for this whole situation that’s struck our RCMP family.”

Harrison said it’s heart-warming to see people recognize that and who have issued their condolences. “It’s just really appreciated that people are taking the time to acknowledge that and express their appreciation,” he said.

Car up a bank

On June 2 at 3:58 p.m., police responded to a single vehicle accident on Highway 3 west of Christina Lake.

“A 2008 Honda Civic was observed part way up a bank on the north side of the road,” said Harrison. The driver, who was uninjured, was on the side of the roadway. He told police he had swerved to miss a coyote, went off the road right and caught the soft shoulder, went through the ditch and came to a stop half-way up the hill.

“The wheels sunk into the dirt, preventing the vehicle from moving,” said Harrison. “Airbags were deployed.

Probably damage to the undercarriage, but no injuries, thankfully.”

“Someone attempted to break into the back door by smashing the door knob and the deadbolt lock,” he said. “They didn’t gain entry. I guess they were foiled by their hindered attempt; however, there was a substantial amount of damage to the door and the locks.”

The suspect, who was caught on video survelliance, is a white male, approximately 40-50 years of age, wearing blue jeans and a dark jacket, and of

medium height and build. He also had a very square back pack and a ball cap, said Harrison.

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

Tree vandalized

On June 4 at 6:58 p.m., RCMP received a call about mischief to a tree on the south side of Perley Elementary School on Central Avenue.

“The complainant described the tree as having its bark removed and graffiti cut into it,” said Harrison. “A constable attended the location to find the tree approximately 10 inches in diameter, completely having its bark cut stripped off the tree from the trunk seven feet up the tree.”

Harrison added that several names were cut into the tree as if a large group of people were involved in the damage.

It’s unknown if the tree will survive.

Police have no witness or suspects at this time.

Anyone with information is urged to call Grand Forks RCMP at 250-4428288.

Theft of boat motor

On June 5 at 3:34 p.m., RCMP received a report of a theft of a motor from a boat on West Lake Drive in Christina Lake.

The motor is a 20hp black Mercury with electric start and a long shaft valued at approximately $4,500.

“It was mounted and bolted to his boat—someone cut the chain and the unbolted it some time between June 2 and June 5,” said Harrison.

There are no suspects or witnesses at this time.

Fish sign stolen

On June 6 at 8:35 a.m., police received a call about a theft at the Victorian Motel and RV Park of a wooden cutout painted fish sign that measured four feet tall by 18 inches wide.

“The fish sign was hand-painted locally,” said Harrison.

Police have no witness or suspects at this time.

Anyone with information is urged to call Grand Forks RCMP at 250442-8288.

Driver falls asleep

On June 6 at 4:46 p.m., RCMP received a report of an accident on Highway 3 by Spencer Hill.

“The vehicle went off the road right,” said Harrison. “It appeared the driver of the vehicle nodded off. The car went through the ditch and managed to stay on its wheel on the slight hill.

The driver side airbags had deployed.”

The driver, who was the lone occupant of the vehicle, was checked out by EHS ambulance and taken to the hospital with a minor neck injury.

The driver had set the cruise control to 100 km/h and fell asleep, said Harrison. “He was charged with failing to keep his vehicle to the right hand side.”

The driver is a 76-year-old male from Midway driving a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Rear-ender

On June 8 at 2:09 p.m., RCMP responded to an accident on Highway 3 in front of A&W in Grand Forks.

“A female driver was stopped at the highway attempting to turn left into the A&W when another vehicle ran into the back of her vehicle,” said Harrison.

There was extensive damage to the front end of second vehicle and moderate damage to the vehicle in the front.

Both drivers were assessed by B.C. Ambulance and found to have no injuries, said Harrison.

No violation tickets were issued.

The first driver was a 74-year-old female from Fruitvale, while the second driver was a 65-year-old female from Castlegar.

There were 99 files last week between Christina Lake and Midway. Harrison said the number are files are increasing which he attributes to the warmer weather.

RDKB looks for input into watershed plan Open house is your opportunity

New Boundary website launched SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

The Boundary area has launched a redesigned tourism website that incorporates the latest leading-edge tourism marketing strategies and displays compelling new images and stories about the memorable experiences travellers can enjoy there.

The new “Boundary Country” website—boundarybc.com—was launched May 15 as the result of a groundbreaking project in which the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) co-ordinated its team of resource people to redesign the site for Community Futures Boundary, which is contracted by the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary to carry out tourism marketing services for the area.

With core funding from the regional district and matching funds from the provincial government’s Community Tourism Opportunities program, the TOTA team aligned Boundary’s website content with two new leading-edge tourism planning and marketing tools—the Thompson Okanagan 10Year Regional Tourism Strategy and the Canadian Tourism Commission’s research-based “Explorer Quotient” (EQ) approach to tourism marketing.

EQ identifies nine types of travellers based on their values and travel preferences and then tailors experience-rich imagery and text to inspire those

most likely to visit a certain area.

The rejuvenated tourism website features lively photos, engaging text, lists of major attractions and activities, guides to the communities, informative notes about accommodations and restaurants, maps, and a service directory covering accommodations, restaurants, attractions, festivals and events, fruit stands, parks, recreational activities, and tours.

Boundary Community Futures General Manager Wendy McCulloch says the new website gives a shot-in-the-arm to Boundary’s tourism marketing.

“It really showcases our local attractions, activities and businesses and links in our Visitor Centres,” she said.

Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce Executive Director James Wilson says the new website displays beautifully not only on computers, but also on mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones. It also allows for tracking of how many people view the website’s various elements. “The site gives visitors an easier and quicker way to navigate to the information they want, such as places to eat,” Wilson said. “And its EQ content and storylines are a real strength.”

Wilson and staff at Community Futures Boundary will work with local businesses to keep fresh information on the website – including a regularly updated Events Calendar.

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary is looking for your ideas to help complete the Kettle River Watershed Management Plan, on Tuesday, June 24 in Greenwood.

For the last two years the stakeholder advisory group has been studying watershed issues, having conversations with the public and other stakeholders, and developing ideas to take care of the Kettle River.

The advisory group is now working towards the completion of a draft watershed plan and would like your feedback on ideas about protecting fish and aquatic ecosystems, improving the quality and reliability of water supplies, and increasing our communities’ capacity as water stewards.

On the afternoon or evening of June 24 in Greenwood, please join the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) and the Kettle River Watershed Management Plan Stakeholder Advisory Group in an open house to learn about and share ideas on the draft

plan and next steps towards the plan completion.

Graham Watt, coordinator of the plan for the RDKB, will give an overview presentation at 3:30 p.m. and again at 7 p.m., and members of the stakeholder advisory group and their organizations will be on hand to hear your thoughts and share their perspectives.

“The ideas in these discussion papers and draft plan have been developed based on community input and in-depth discussions by our stakeholder advisory group,” said Watt. “We are sharing the draft with the public now to get some feedback before we finalize the draft plan and circulate it to stakeholders for review this summer.

“After hearing the feedback, we aim to finalize and launch the plan in September.”

Everyone with an interest in the Kettle River is invited to attend the open house, which will take place in the Greenwood MacArthur Centre (346 S. Copper, behind the public library).

The doors will open at 3 p.m. with presentations scheduled at 3:30 and 7.

A pair of university students from Brazil are working as interns for the City of Grand Forks through a program called Science Without Borders.

Felipe Rafael, from Sao Paolo, and Maite Bayer, from Portao-Rio Grande do Sol, are both environmental engineering students and are working with the city as well as the Kettle River Management Plan and Granby Wilderness Society on a number of environmental projects.

“I’ve studied at Federal University of ABC since 2010,” said Rafael. “I graduated with a Bachelor of Science and Technology in 2013 and I’m now taking a double major in engineering: industrial engineering, and instrumentation and robotics engineering.”

Rafael received a scholarship to study industrial systems engineering at the University of Regina.

Bayer is studying production engineering at the University of Vale do Rio dos Sinos. She also received a scholarship to study industrial systems engineering at the University of Regina.

Science Without Borders is a program funded primarily by the Brazilian government. The program aims to send 101,000 Brazillian students to study internationally in a number of fields including science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

After studying in Regina for the academic component of the program, the two were given the choice of doing undergraduate research or accepting an internship for the practical component.

“My preference was doing an internship,” said Rafael. “I received an offer to work here (in Grand Forks) and accept it.”

Maite also accepted the internship offer from the City of Grand Forks and began on May 12.

The two are working out of the City Hall building at the former Canpar location and will complete their internship in August and return to Brazil to finish their studies.

Their duties include looking at wetland boundaries in around the city.

In the coming weeks, the two will be working further afield on riparian assessment projects and looking at slope stability/erosion, air quality and other topics.

They are enjoying the experience of rural Canada and the differences between our countries.

“Here in Canada, we have more assignments and extra activities than in Brazil,” said Maite.

“I think here it’s more well-rounded,” said Rafael. “In Brazil it’s more technical. Here they really care about voluntary activities. They like it

A pair of environmental engineering students from Brazil, Felipe Rafael and Maite Bayer, are working this summer for the City of Grand Forks. The two took time from their work mapping wetland fields and geospatial features in the Boundary to take a picture by the historical remnant wetland on 68th Avenue near the temporary City Hall location from which the two are working.

if you play a sport, for example. While in Brazil, it’s not like that.”

Both agree that Grand Forks is a beautiful city with a nice, friendly population.

“I like it here,” said Maite. “It’s beautiful here.

It’s small, but I’m from a small town in Brazil so for me there’s no difference.”

“I agree that it’s beautiful,” said Rafael. “But it’s very different from my home city because I’m from a big city with 11 million people. It’s different but I like it. The people are very friendly.”

Graham Watt, project coordinator for the Kettle River Management Plan, said having with the students from Brazil work on the plan is a real benefit.

“It’s been great getting to know Maite and Felipe—in spite of having training in industrial education they have embraced the environmental and ecological components of our project and are interested in looking at the connections between engineering and environmental fields,” said Watt. “We’ve had them out for a few days or field work, some meeting and conference and much reading.”

Thumbs Up to Red Cross volunteers

Thumbs up to the dedicated volunteers at the Canadian Red Cross Health Equipment Loan Program at the Boundary Hospital. They provide an essential and much appreciated service.

Thumbs up to Karaoke back starting soon at Happy Days. It’s sure been a long time.

Thumbs down to my retired neighbour who starts cutting his lawn Sunday at 5:30, just as everyone is starting their barbecue.

Thumbs down to some parents whose only concern about the teachers dispute is that they will lose their free baby sitter service.

Thumbs down to the foolish young people who ripped the bark from a beautiful big tree on the Perley school grounds at the corner of 11th and 73rd, who then proceeded to carve initials, etc into the exposed flesh. Don’t you realize you have destroyed this tree? Such a shame and so thoughtless.

Thumbs up To Edward and “Martha” for providing the dog park enthusiasts with some much needed, and appreciated shelter! A “BIG” thank you from all of us!!

Thumbs down to the cyclists who ride on the sidewalk. There have been some near misses with pedestrians (my wife included). It is against the law and remember you can be liable for causing an accident.

Thumbs up: Recently I went to the Rilkoff’s Store to purchase two plants, one for shade and one for sun. I was doing a presentation in a Grade four class at Hutton Elementary School about Environment and Clean Air Day. I explained to the owner what the plants were for and he said just take them up to the cashier and tell the staff you do not have to pay for the plants. Compliments of Rilkoff’s Store! Thanks for your part in showing consideration of a worthy cause.

Gallery celebrates 30 SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

On Saturday, June 21, gallery 2 Art and Heritage Centre will be hosting an oldfashioned family birthday party.

They are keeping with the theme of their latest heritage exhibit “Toys Were Us” with children’s games and activities; threelegged races, sack races, fish pond, egg run and more. The classic hot dogs, cupcakes, popcorn and Kool-Aid will be available.

“We are inviting the community and surrounding areas to join us from 12 to 3 p.m.

Bring your children and grandchildren, have some fun and celebrate our 30th birthday,” said Tina Bryan, gallery 2 communications officer. “This outdoor party will have something for everyone and if you’re young at heart you can participate in the games.”

th

reflect on the past 30 years, she said. It took an enthusiastic arts community with leaders Richard and Beverley Reid at the helm to form the Grand Forks Art Gallery Society, with a membership now over 300. With the move came a new name, gallery 2 Art and Heritage Gallery; with the name came new mandates.

Five years ago the gallery celebrated 25 years.

“It was an amazing time,” Bryan said.

“We cut the ribbon to the new location in the 100-year-old newly renovated courthouse, and unveiled the majestic upstairs gallery which was duly named after our founders, Richard and Beverley Reid.”

The Reids were instrumental in establishing the first space located below the library (built in 1982), along with the support and assistance of the Grand Forks Area Arts Council and the City of Grand Forks. The Grand Forks Art Gallery opened its doors in 1984 and has never looked back.

In the past five years the gallery has seen the completion of the Grand Forks Permanent Heritage Gallery in 2011, which was largely funded by the Grand Forks Credit Union. This gallery was fashioned by historian and curator Roger Boulet with the display design and installation

by Peter Galonski.

The Grand Forks Visitor Centre was added, which brings in thousands of visitors from all over the world who tour the building and make comments like, “We can’t believe this small community has such an amazing building it’s comparable

to the big city galleries.”

The fundraising events have changed.

Thirty years ago the wine tasting was an intimate gathering with up to 25 people in attendance, a couple of wineries and some cheese and crackers. Now it’s an elaborate event with more than 200 guests who come dressed in their finest to attend the community pre-Christmas affair with 14 wineries, eight local food caterers and two micro-breweries. It’s a sell-out each year.

The bi-annual Garden Tour saw more than 100 people in 2013 compared to 50 in the past.

A relatively new event, the coluorful Masquerade Ball, is in its infant stages but each year the costumes get more elaborate and the crowd more enthusiastic as they dance the night away to a live band.

The building has become a meeting place for clubs like the Grand Forks Rotary Club, ANKORS, BC Assessment and the City of Grand Forks.

The school tours have increased as the gallery sees hundreds of school students through each year, either to tour the building or participate in the new heritage curriculum funded by Direct Access.

Most importantly are the increases of exhibitions, averaging 13 exhibitions a year.

The most popular exhibit in 2013 was our own Christina Lake artist and founder Beverley Reid “Hanging by a Thread.”

Other past exhibitions include Lou Lynn, Maggie Tchir and Robin Dupont; and provincial, national and international artists including Pat Service, Robert Murray and David Eustace.

The Art Rental Program has really taken off with more than 60 artists sharing their work; you can see artwork displayed in our local businesses. We now have it catalogued on our website.

Some of the Boundary artists like Nora Curiston, Steve Howard, Bev Harcus and Richard Reid are just a few of the local artists who have shown in the gallery.

Also the gallery continues to host the Boundary Showcase of the Arts, and has for 20 years, filling the three galleries with more than 170 art pieces.

“As you can see, we have come a long way and will continue to grow as we take on new mandates,” Bryan said. “Please join us on our special day, June 21, 2014 from 12 – 3 p.m. as we celebrate 30 years!”

We love you Grand Forks!

There are many different reasons why people “relay.” On Saturday, teams and participants gathered at James Donaldson Park for the Grand Forks Relay For Life to celebrate, remember and fight back.

In all, there were 15 teams registered and 145 participants who raised over $33,000 so far.

Relay coordinator Jennifer Edwards said the event went very smoothly. “It was great,” she said. “It’s always exciting to see everything come together and we have had nothing but positive feedback about the event.”

After a warm-up by the Jazzercise group, the survivors took to the field dressed in the trademark yellow shirts for the survivor’s victory lap.

Following a performance by Jonah Rocks, about eight brave people, including a few women, had their heads shaved with some donating hair for wigs.

Music was playing all day at the main stage with bands like Three Yards with Damian Alblas, Maddog 20/20 and Carson Highway.

The evening wrapped up with the poignant luminary ceremony where attendees purchased and lit up a luminary to remember or honour a loved one.

“The luminary ceremony was beautiful and as usual was the most emotional part of the day,” said Edwards. “It really gives people the chance to reflect on those they lost to cancer and those who are still fighting. Everyone comes together and draws strength from one another because of the shared feelings and experience of losing someone to cancer.”

For survivor Natalie Schafer, the Relay For Life was a chance to celebrate beating cancer.

Schafer was the guest speaker at the event and she told the audience about her journey. She was diagnosed with nonHodgkin’s lymphoma in August 2012.

“I was in and out of the hospital here in Grand Forks because I became anemic just trying to deal with everything that was happening with my body,” she said. “It was October 2012 when I went to Kelowna hospital for my first chemotherapy.

My last chemotherapy session was six months later in January 2013.”

Schafer has been cancer-free for almost a year now.

She is very grateful for the chemo clinic in Grand Forks. “It is such a blessing to have something local,” said Schafer.

Schafer is also very grateful to the Canadian Cancer Society which paid for her stay and meals in Kelowna.

“I stayed at the Rotary Cancer Clinic there and it was the

most amazing experience that I have had,” she said. “Just meeting everybody and learning about the different cancers.

When I was first diagnosed I felt alone. When you hear so many others who have cancer—it may not be the same as yours—but it makes you not feel so alone. Just sitting and comparing notes with people.”

Schafer also credits part of her recovery to the support she received from friends and family. “We thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts, both myself and my husband,” she said.

Schafer can’t say enough about the Relay For Life.

“I’ve attended this event before, this is my second year as a cancer survivor,” said Schafer. “It’s a great experience. Doing the survivor lap is an amazing experience.”

The top fundraising team was the Grand Forks Credit Union with a total of $4,697.68, while the top fundraising individual was Debra Battrick with $2,350.

Funds raised at Boundary Relay For Life provide services that benefit Grand Forks and the Boundary communities and are available at no cost to all Canadians including local residents, said Edwards.

“The Canadian Cancer Society provides financial support for travel and accommodation during cancer treatment for those who have to travel out of town to receive care, as people in our area do,” she added. “They also offer emotional assistance and up-to-date information about cancer and local services through their Cancer Connection program and Cancer Information Service.”

The day ended with a poignant luminary ceremony featuring candles and bags with names, verses and sometimes decorations in honour or in memory of someone who has battled cancer; these candles lined the track as relayers walked the last special laps of the night.

Thate releases first EP on iTunes CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Grand Forks’ resident musical star Amanda Thate is having a very good year.

In addition to getting married and releasing her first EP on iTunes, she has secured a spot singing at the 2014 Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMAs) in Edmonton.

“It’s been such a huge year for me,” said Thate. “And I know this summer it’s just going to get busier. The album was released while I was away (on her honeymoon). So it’s kind of fun coming back and hearing how it’s doing.”

After graduating from Grand Forks Secondary, Thate travelled to Nashville in the spring of 2011 and worked with music producer Tom Jackson.

Thate’s latest single Hit and Run was just released and is among one of the top five radio station downloads across Canada.

The EP she has released on iTunes is called Buy Something Brave and features six songs including What Love

“So far, the single is on five radio stations as a regular play list,” said Thate.

“It’s been really exciting. Just coming back we’ve got so many encouraging words. People are so supportive. It’s just been amazing.”

Thate will be touring throughout B.C. and is scheduled to appear at the Christina Lake Homecoming Festival on July 17.

In September, Thate will be heading to Northern Alberta to perform at the CCMAs in Edmonton.

“It’s a dream come true,” she said.

Thate continues to be thankful for all the wonderful support she has received from friends and family in Grand Forks.

Local food bank fed 286 just last month

Hunger matters. As a phrase, it’s fairly innocuous—information, facts and ideas about hunger. But as a sentence, it is far more compelling. Hunger DOES matter. It matters especially to those who are hungry or whose loved ones are hungry, but it also matters or should matter to the rest of us.

We live in a rich province, in one of the richest countries of the world, and yet in 2013 over 833,000 Canadians visited a food bank in one month! Over 94,000 people in British Columbia needed the services of a food bank to help feed themselves or their families in that same month. And just last month, right here at home, the Boundary Community Food Bank provided hampers to 147 households, helping to feed 286 people!

That’s 286 people (including 75 children) who received 12 – 15 meals last month thanks to the incredible generosity of the residents and businesses of the Boundary as well as national and provincial donors through Food Banks B.C. and Food Banks Canada. From major corporations with cross-country promotions to the special pricing and regular donations from local grocery stores and producers and from the supporters who name us in their

wills to the young children who forego birthday gifts in exchange for food bank donations to all the folks planting an extra row or more in their gardens—our donors are as diverse as our clients.

And our clients truly are diverse.

Teen parents, pensioners, single-parent families, the working poor, the homeless, the chronically ill, the unemployed—these are just some of the faces we see and whose stories we hear regularly. These are the faces of hunger in the Boundary.

We talk a lot about numbers. How

many hampers, how much milk (248 litres in May,) the hours our volunteers put in (344 last month) but it’s not really about numbers. It’s about people. It’s all about people.

The six-year-old with a healthy snack to take to school allowing her to fit in with her classmates, the 80-year-old getting by on Old Age Pension and the Guaranteed Income Supplement who can now enjoy his morning oatmeal more often, the widowed mother of five who no longer has to make a choice between the medications she requires and feeding her family.

In the coming months I hope to share some of their stories with you because THEY are the reason we donate, whether it be food, money or time (or all three.) The people we serve are the reason we exist.

If you’d like more information on the service we provide or how you can help as a donor or a volunteer, please email me at BFB_sec@yahoo.ca, check out our Facebook page at facebook.com/BoundaryCommunityFoodBank, or leave a message on our answering machine at 250442-2800.

Mediation involves two parties ‘in the right’

At times, there may be a fine line between restorative justice and mediation. One difference is that RJ starts from the premise that there are a clearly identified offender and victim. Mediation generally involves two or more parties who both feel in the right.

It has been suggested that labeling people as offenders and victims may be stigmatizing, so RJ now tries to avoid these terms.

It is also important to remember that someone who is accused of an offense has not been convicted, and even some convic-

tions are overturned when more information is considered. This incident, which happened in Baltimore, shows how a conference that begins as restorative justice can end up looking more like mediation.

For 18 months, neighbours called the police in an attempt to stop the kids from playing in the street—making noise, swearing, and damaging cars. The adults couldn’t understand why the kids didn’t go to the huge park only a block away. They finally agreed to try conferencing instead of calling the police.

At the conference, attended by 44 residents (young and old), the adults finally heard that the youth don’t play at the park because there is dog excrement at one end, and drug

The Kettle River Community Garden is hosting a workshop on water conservation on Saturday, June 14 from 12 – 3 p.m. The workshop will include an orientation to the drip irrigation system, the completion of an installation of a rain-barrel on the composting toilet shed (thanks to Gaia Green), and discussion of water conservation techniques including mulching and composting.

Cost is free for garden members, or by donation of $10 or participation in the work party from 2 – 3 p.m. Contact Graham Watt (plan@kettleriver.ca or 250.442.4111) with questions about the workshop or Christine-Ann Baker (kettlerivercommunitygarden@gmail. com). The Kettle River Community Garden is located at the corner of 10th St. and 66 Ave. in Ruckle, at the end of the bike path from the Darrell Priede Bridge on Kettle River Drive.

dealers at the other. Some of the older Caucasian residents expressed dismay that “the neighbourhood used to be quiet.”

Some of the African-American residents explained that different people might live differently, but they all have a right to play and live in that neighbourhood.

Finally, one of the men, whose beloved Cadillac had been damaged by the young people, agreed to take the kids to the park to play football. “And it will be some days, not every day, ‘cuz I work hard!” They all laughed. Other

adults agreed to arrange for other activities, including field trips, video game gatherings, and sewing classes for the young people in the neighbourhood.

Towards the end, one 8-year old boy asked everyone to help Mr. Sammy, an older resident who cleaned the street each day.

Everyone clapped for Mr. Sammy (the first recognition he’d received for his efforts), and 11 young people volunteered to help him. “I have an objection” proclaimed a boy in the circle.

“Mr. Sammy cleans the streets at 4 AM; you all aren’t even awake then!” Everyone laughed again.

The next day 22 kids showed up to play football. Within three weeks, 64 youth were being coached four days a week. A football league was soon created with 20 adult volunteers from the

Piranhas feast on the competition at home

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks Piranhas took a bite out of the competition at their home meet this past weekend.

With 427 total points, the Piranhas easily eclipsed their closest competition, the Castlegar Aquanauts, who had 325 to finish first.

Also attending the meet, which was held Saturday at the Grand Forks Aquatic Centre, were teams from Nelson, Trail, Colville and Creston.

The meet was a “B” meeting, meaning swimmers with “A” times were ineligible to compete.

Head Coach Robyn Van Ek said the team did very well with 40 swimmers competing and grabbing 57 personal best times.

“We had a great turnout this weekend,” she said.

“Almost every swimmer that was eligible to compete did so. Camaraderie was the overriding theme this weekend. We’d see two or three Piranhas in the water and a group of six or more at the end of the pool cheering them on.”

Faith Thompson was named the Piranhas ‘Swimmer of the Meet’ after established strong times in the 50M butterfly, 50M freestyle, 100M back stroke

and 100M breast stroke.

“After taking time off from swimming last season, Faith returned to the Piranhas this year and has worked hard to develop her technical skills,” said Van Ek. “Faith spent Friday afternoon, her day off, practicing her dives and flip turns in preparation to the meet on Saturday.”

Also performing strong were Cassiane Larson, Ashlyn LeRoy, Sam Podmoroff, Eve Van Agteren and Thea Van Agteren who got best times in all four events (50M butterfly, 50M freestyle, 50M back stroke and 50M breast stroke).

Molly’s message one of bravery Molly Imrie is a young lady who grew up in Grand Forks with her parents, Mike and Shawna, and two brothers.

Like many kids growing up, she played sports and excelled at basketball.

She played on the GFSS Grade 8 and junior team and played for the Kootenay regional team at the B.C. Summer Games in Kelowna in 2008.

That fall she complained of feeling pain in her knee. After an array of tests, Molly was diagnosed with bone cancer at the age of 14.

After many visits to Children’s Hospital in Vancouver and several surgeries, Molly is now cancer-free and living on Vancouver Island.

She recently told her story to a group of supporters of Children’s Hospital in Victoria. Here is the speech:

MOLLY IMRIE

Special to the Grand Forks Gazette

June 2014 Hello everyone, my name is Molly Imrie and I am a past patient of BC Children’s Hospital. When I try to find the words to describe what Children’s Hospital means to me, my thoughts tend to scatter. So I’ve made a list….

Children’s Is… • The place that saved my life • Where I was told I was sick in the first place • Where I got to stay in my pajamas all day everyday and it be completely okay • A place where being bald doesn’t make you stand out, but rather fit in • Children’s hospital is where the scariest and hardest moments of my life have taken place • Is a place full of people who took those frightening and difficult moments and made them bearable again and made me feel safe.

In October 2008 when I was 14 years old I was told that the pain I had in my left leg was not just growing pains but in fact, bone cancer, and that I would need to move from my hometown to Vancouver for up to a year to receive treatment.

At one point, my little brother asked me: “What it was like to be told you have cancer?”

At the time, he had just been broken up with by his very first girlfriend.

So, I explained to him that being told you have cancer is kind of like being dumped by the girl you have a crush on.

Your heart races really fast, the palms of your hands get sweaty, and your brain starts thinking so many things at once it just feels like its buzzing. But instead of asking yourself, “Why doesn’t she like me?” you ask questions like: “Am I going to be okay?”

However, the staff at Children’s quickly took my “heartbreak” and made me feel safe and secure. The support staff helped my family find a place to stay and taught my parents how they could

Phil Novokshonoff It is with profound sadness that we must announce the death of Phil Novokshonoff, the founder and lifeblood of Mainstream Mechanical.

Phil passed away in Trail Hospital on Monday, June 2nd from heart failure. He was 55 years old.

Phil’s life can best be described as a mixture of laughter, family, business and community. He had a larger than life personality and a wicked sense of humour.

His greatest pride in life was his four sons, Peter, Andrew (Biatta Musaev), Spencer and Tristan, and Kathy, his wife of 25 years. He will be missed.

Phil started Mainstream Mechanical over 30 years ago and it had been a driving force in his life.

When Peter finished his apprenticeship in 2009, he decided to join his father in running the company.

Phil took great pride in the passion and devotion his sons showed in anything they did, and passing the business to Peter was a dream of both father and son.

Last year Phil, Kathy, Peter and Andrew joined together in a new business venture, Magnum Auto Inc. The opening of this full-service auto facility in Grand Forks allowed Andrew, an automotive technician, to realize one of his dreams.

Spencer is entering his third year of undergraduate study (Physics major). It was such a joy to Phil to be able to discuss physics principles and theories at this level with his son.

Tristan is a devoted self-learner and entertained and amazed his father on a daily basis with his keen intelligence and knowledge base.

Phil’s wife, Kathy, is a local dog trainer and an active community member of her adopted hometown.

Phil, who was born and raised in Grand Forks, was both proud and amused to be called “Kathy’s husband”.

Phil acquired his strong family values as the son of Joe and Tillie Novokshonoff.

Phil’s two beautiful sisters, Beth and Linda Novokshonoff, were an integral part of the lives of Phil and his family. “The girls” shared many laughs, tears and experiences over the years and remain close to this day.

Phil did not wish to have a funeral. The family has decided to hold a celebration of life for Phil on June 29th, 2014 beginning at 2:30 pm. The plan is to share some laughter and reminisce, surrounded by people whose life Phil has touched. A potluck dinner and a large kettle of vareniki will be served at 5 pm. For those people who have never visited, the family lives on riverfront acreage in Grand Forks.

Though it will be a bit chilly at this time of the year, you are welcome to take a dip in the river, visit animals (horses, mini cow, mini horses) or simply enjoy the peace of what our family considers paradise. You are encouraged to share a story, memory or just have a good time in Phil’s honour. Please join us.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Phil Novokshonoff Memorial at Grand Forks and District Savings Credit Union. Donations can also be dropped off at Magnum Auto on Central Avenue. The family plans to purchase a piece of bariatric equipment and donate it locally in Phil’s name.

Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to the Baker Family of Grand Forks Funeral Home, gffh@shaw.ca.

support a child with cancer. My family and I went from scared and confused to managing the ins and outs of the hospital with a complete support network.

I would like to share a couple stories from my time at Children’s with you: Three months into my chemotherapy treatments, I had the tumor removed.

My surgeon explained that he would do everything he could to save my leg, but it may not be possible. The surgery took him and his team just over 19 hours and was successful, as you can see.

The team was so excited to tell my parents that the very first coherent question I asked out of anesthetic was: “Do I still have my leg?”

The staff at Children’s is nothing short of incredible. They are a group of the most caring individuals I have ever met, and I am so thankful for the care I received.

It’s not just during my own health challenges that I’ve been beyond proud of the team, though. During my time in Vancouver, I met Jessica. She was receiving treatment at the same time I did and I soon started referring to her as my “little sister.” We had many girls’ nights where I painted her nails or watched a movie; Jessica loved dancing and singing. On the days I couldn’t get out of bed, she would just come in quietly and lay beside me.

I didn’t have to try and describe what being told you had cancer was like to her, she already knew and she also knew what it felt like too. And because of that, • See MOLLY’S MESSAGE page 26

PETE SEMENOFF

Pete Semenoff passed away November 5, 2013 at 85 years of age.

Pete had limited formal school training (as was common in the day) but through a natural aptitude for repairing and operating machinery and sheer diligence, he became a sought after heavy duty equipment operator. He had a vast work history throughout his life from logging adventures in the Queen Charlotte, to operating cranes for various construction projects.

Pete settled into retirement always busy, often creating innovative inventions in his beloved shop.

He always found time though to assist neighbours with stubborn lawn mowers or other baffling home maintenance problems and was very humbled when they would acknowledge him with a tiny gift of food or a card.

Pete seldom complained, even when faced with challenging health issues, he trudged forward with a silent strength. His work ethic, even to his last days, was something that we all admired and strive to meet.

Pete has left behind son Larry, daughter Joan, two grandchildren. Predeceased by his parents and his beloved wife Ann. We remember you at your finest Dad, honor you, and will always love you.

Chris Garrett With great sadness, the family of Chris Garrett announces the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandma and great grandma who left us Friday, May 23, 2014 after a lengthy illness.

Chris leaves behind her husband, Lorne Garrett, son Larry (Sue) and daughter Elaine, grandchildren Darcy, Corey, Nicholas, and Kaitlin and great-grandson Wyatt. Survived also by her sisters Del Frederick (Ed), Tammy Moore (Howard), and brothers Ron Graham (Heather) and Ed Coupland (Jane) and many nieces and nephews, as well as a large extended family. She was pre-deceased by her brother Wayne Edlund.

Chris was born in Calgary in 1942 and spent her childhood in the Golden area. After her marriage in 1960, she and Lorne moved to the Trail area where they raised their children, spent their working lives and then semi-retired to Christina Lake.

Until her illness restricted her activities, Chris was involved with the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Kidney Foundation, BEAKs and the SPCA. She enjoyed her gardening, taking in strays ( dogs, cats, turkeys, peacocks, a chipmunk and even a lizard ) and spending time with family and friends.

Memorial will be held at the house Saturday July 19, 2014. 1:00 pm at 1589 Neimi Road, Christina Lake.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Chris’s memory can be made to BC SPCA.

It is with heavy hearts the family of Sue Thomson announces her passing on May 26, 2014 while in the comfort of her home, at the young age of 63.

Mom was born in Sydney, B.C. April 26, 1951 to parents Abram Peter and Mary Ethel Kliewer.

As a child, her family moved often as her father was a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force. She experienced Alberta, Manitoba, Newfoundland, Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, several years in France and then Ontario to name a few.

Spending her teenage years in Rutland, B.C, she played a pivotal role as a founding force for the highly successful Rutland Teen Town.

Mom was married to Doug Thomson in 1972. As dad’s banking career advanced, they lived in Dawson Creek, New Denver, Williams Lake, Prince George and finally called Grand Forks home in 1983.

Look out Grand Forks! Here she comes. Mom worked full-time at the Boundary Community News, the Gazette, ran the Dickie Dee ice cream business (who didn’t love those bikes!), was elected to council as Alderwoman, operated her own Boundary publication, was the Heritage president of B.C., notable historian of the Boundary Area of B.C. and the Doukobour people who settled here, all the while contributing countless hours to the Boundary Museum, as well as other worthy causes. Weekends were spent with picnics and hitting the back roads with good friend Rose Gobeil. If it was on the map, it wasn’t worth exploring! Antique treasure hunting or a chance at a photo op or story burned in their veins.

Growing up, our home was always open to friends. She was “Mom” and they were her “kidlings”. Our home was a safe house to many.

In 1993, Mom and Dad began farming with good friend Walter Austin on the Burrell Creek Ranch. They all moved back into town when fire destroyed the ranch house in 2003.

The next several years would see Mom’s creative juices flowing again. She traveled and found herself back to her roots in Kelowna where she stayed till moving back to Grand Forks to be with family in 2012. She had developed an active online life and as Mom’s health started slowing her down, that online life became even more important to her.

My Mom was an amazing soul who lived life on her own terms with her own unique style. She was passionate about all she did. She was an award winning photographer and published author. She loved reading, gardening and the color yellow!

An expert in local weeds and wild flowers, she particularly loved her birds! She was a webmaster, designing both her own web sites and others, and was a superb crafts person. She had an admirable sense of morals and thrived on thought provoking issues. Her spirit and conviction are an inspiration. She was indeed a force to be reckoned with!

I know while on her new path, she will be giving others a piece of her mind, correcting their English, making friends and photographing the birds with a steady hand again! Love you Da’momma Mom is lovingly remembered by her son Peter of Langley; daughter Melissa of Grand Forks; brother Alan (Val) Kliewer of Coquitlam. Grandsons Liam, Noah and Phoenix; niece Tara (Jason) Wildman of Coquitlam (children Jake & Zoey), nephew Adam (Chantel) Kliewer of Calgary and her long distance sweetie Ray. Mom now joins her parents, sister Kathy, son Christopher, husband Doug, good friend Walter and her furry friend Buddy.

Celebration of life to take place 11:00 July 5, 2014 at the Anglican Church.

Cremation has taken place. Graham Funeral Home of Oliver, B.C. has been entrusted with care of arrangements. Condolences and stories can be expressed at www.grahamfh.com.

Molly’s message we understood each other better than anyone.

Jessica relapsed less than a year after treatment and passed away in November 2009 at eight years old.

I lost my little sister, but I know it wasn’t because her medical team didn’t do everything possible for her, because they did. And I know she wasn’t in pain in her last days because her nurses and doctors cared about her just as much as me. I know they did everything they could to keep her smiling for as long as possible, and there is a great deal of comfort knowing she was treated in the best place she could have been. All the time I think about saying goodbye to her for the last time in the hospital that made me better, but she wasn’t scared.

She just said, “Bye, love you too” and showed me what bravery looks like.

Children’s demonstrates that kind of bravery every single day. It’s shown by the patients and as well as every team member there, and because in part of the support of the people here today, BC Children’s Hospital is going to get the upgrade it so rightfully deserves. The patients and their families will receive care in a facility as amazing as they are and the staff will get to work with resources that will offer the support they need to work with the growing number of children in need of the only hospital like it in the

whole province.

Because of the hospital I’ve been able to experience many things: I graduated high school in 2012, I saw my favourite band in concert, I got to experience what it’s like to fall in love, bought my very first car, totalled my very first car, I work part-time to save for college tuition like every other healthy college student, I’ll get to watch my little brother graduate high school later this month.

I just finished my first year of nursing school in Courtenay, and have three more to go before I graduate as registered nurse in the hopes of one day working along side the nurses at Children’s on the NEW oncology ward.

I am also reaching a milestone in my health.

One week from today, I will be celebrating five years in remission. As a cancer survivor, I’ve been waiting for the five-year mark since before I even finished treatment and I am beyond proud and excited to be sharing this moment with the people here today.

On behalf of my friends who’ve received any sort of help from BC Children’s and their families, thank you so much for the support you’ve given to a place I think of as a second home. I can’t believe we’ve reached our goal and will be gaining a new facility as wonderful as the people who use it. Thank you.

Grads!

The best way to predict the future is to create it. Enjoy creating yours! from the management & staff of

Grand Forks Secondary School’s graduating class of 2014 has reached the end of this road. This, however, is not the end, it is just the beginning.

We are the future, standing in the threshold of tomorrow with this being the first day of the rest of our lives.

We will look back on this day with fondness for these were the best days of our lives. We entered to learn and now we go forth to serve and oh, the places you will go!

Webster’s dictionary defines graduation as a time to say all of these silly things as though they actually accurately represent our transition from high school students into adult members of society. Really, this process is more complicated, frustrating and amazing than we are led to believe.

Though we are being encouraged to have our entire lives planned out, what needs to be remembered not only by us but by those pressuring us to figure everything out is that sometimes things just work out and other times they don’t—but they fall apart only to reform into something better. Sometimes things won’t be great; you’ll miss your parents and they won’t be around, you can’t go out and party because you need to study, you won’t be able to make that cute dinner for one recipe that you saw on Pinterest because you only have enough money to buy cups of noodles, and everyone

In and around GFSS

The school turned to social media to promote communication.

else’s lives will seem to be moving in bigger and better directions. The thing about these difficult times is that they are a part of growing up and we will get through them because really, what other option will we have? We will cry into our pillows, call our moms, make some lists, and figure it out. Even during the tough times you are still you; beautiful, capable you and you have the ability to make changes if you aren’t happy.

All throughout school we have been somebody else’s little brother or sister, somebody’s kid or grandchild but now we get to be our own people. Through these years we can form our own identity through choices and actions decided solely by what best suits us. We can be selfish and introspective, move to towns where no one knows our story and tell the barista at Starbucks a fake name. We do not have to live up to anyone’s expectations but our own. With hard work, determination and some ill-placed faith in a world that has screwed us over time and time again, we can accomplish and we can succeed.

Thirteen years ago we didn’t even know how to tie our own shoes but now not only are they laced up but we are running in them and going places farther than our five-year-old minds could ever imagine. Our dreams and ambition reach beyond the confines of this small town’s borders but it is here that our roots have been planted, allowing us to grow into the potential-filled people that we are today.

Doug Wille arrived in School District 51 in the spring of 1979 to take over the music program; 2013-2014 would be his final year in a stellar career as he retires along with the grad class of 2014.
