PRESENTING THE GFSS GRAD CLASS OF 2014

Grand Forks Secondary School held its graduation ceremonies Friday, June 13, at the Jack Goddard Memorial Arena. Diplomas and scholarships were handed out; speeches were made by parent Brad McPeek, vice-principal Mike Phelan, and valedictorians Tyra Rexin and Ian Horahan.

The Aboriginal community performed a special presentation for the graduates. See pages 16 and 17 for scholarship and Lupine Award winners.

Observation Mountain The first event on Friday for city councillors, staff and committee members was the ribbon cutting at the kiosk at Observation Mountain.

The kiosk whch is at the bottom of Observation Mountain at the end of 2nd Street will help guide both visitors and residents alike.

“It’s been very undervalued as a landmark,” said Mayor Taylor. “Other than the few energetic people who can sprint to the top – it has been very under-utilized. Having a better pathway up (is great). We will also probably look at how we can move people up from the other side if we develop more of a spot on top so we can relax and enjoy the jewel of our valley.”

There was also a cheque presentation from • See NATURE PHOTOS page 32

Councillors learn much at federal conference CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Several Grand Forks councillors got a chance to mingle and learn from and with some of the top politicians throughout Canada at the Federation of Canadian Municipali-

ties (FCM) conference held in Niagara Falls, Ontario from May 30 to June 2.

The councilors—Neil Krog, Michael Wirischagin and Cher Wyers—spoke at the regular meeting of council on June 9 about their time at the conference and how

F O R S A L E B Y G AY L E Gayle Holmes

they were able to network. Patrick O’Doherty also attended FCM but was not at the council meeting.

“We had plenty to take back to our communities,” said Wyers to council. “The networking and sharing of stories with colleagues across the country was certainly a high-

light for me and hearing their challenges which aren’t that different from ours.”

Wyers said the conference was very well organized. She said that infrastructure concerns was a theme.

It was a busy Friday afternoon around Grand Forks with three separate ribbon cutting photo-ops for city council, staff and committee members.

First was the dedication of the new kiosk at the bottom of the east side of Observation Mountain.

Shortly after, the group descended on Eighth St. under Observation trail for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new bat houses, which will help the city control insects in a natural manner.

Finally, the last ribbon-cutting ceremony was in City Park by the Kettle River for the new sign celebrating the riparian area and the local wildlife.

Billie

Billie is a special visitor to our Pet of the Week feature, usually reserved for Boundary pets only. She’s in the spotlight because normally it’s the rest of her crew that gets in the news—Bhaktimarga Swami, the Walking Monk, and support worker Daruka. Billie is 27 years old, and is a blue-front Amazon parrot.

She loves to get out, and to travel with the group on their walk across Canada.

She eats primarily seeds and nuts, and fresh fruit (she loves grapes!). She knows some 15 words, but is more of a whistler than talker, Daruka says.

Full strike ahead CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Teachers across B.C. began a full-scale strike yesterday (Tuesday) as negotiations between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) and government negotiators failed to come to a deal.

Last week teachers voted 86 per cent to strike. “(Last) week’s vote made it clear that B.C. teachers care deeply about the state of public education and their ability to meet the needs of their students,” said BCTF president Jim Iker in a press release. “As well, it showed how firmly teachers are committed to doing what’s necessary to reach a fair deal.”

Iker added, “…We are urging this government to reinvest in public education. Teachers are doing their utmost in an underfunded and underresourced system, but students are not getting the support or one-on-one time they need. Our kids deserve so much more.”

On Friday in Grand Forks, teachers across the Boundary held at rally on the lawn at Perley Elementary. About 50 teachers and members of supportive unions such as CUPE showed up to hear speeches from local BCTF representative Norm Sabourin as well as several teachers.

“It was hugely successful,” said Sabourin in an interview with the Gazette. “We were all pretty happy about it. We had a large number of BDTA (Boundary District Teachers’ Association) members, we had a large number of CUPE members there. I think it went over pretty well. It was people speaking from the heart and getting the message out. We were happy with it.”

Students across the province will still be writing provincial exams, after a ruling by the Labour Relations Board.

Students at Grand Forks Secondary School will be writing provincials from Wednesday until Friday (June 18-20) and again on Monday and Tuesday (June 23/24) of next week.

All non-provincial exams for students in grade 8-12 have been cancelled due to job action.

SD51 superintendent Kevin Argue said buses will be running on all exam days except for Thursday and Friday (June 19 and 20).

Argue added that provincial exams will be supervised by school principals and vice-principals.

Picketing teachers must leave an opening for students to get through for their exams.

“There’s an essential services order,” said Argue. “Students and buses must have a picket-free entrance and exit to any site where provincial exams are being written.”

If the sides do not come to an agreement, students from Grade K-11 will receive their last grade received as a final grade, said Argue.

“Right now, Grade 12 final grades must be submitted—that’s in the essential service order,” he said. “We’re hoping things will be settled and teachers are back to work and can provide the latest information on student progress.”

Be sure to check sd51.bc.ca and your school website for full exam and busing information.

The musically gifted but developmentally challenged Gabrielle (Gabrielle Marion-Rivard) lives in a group home with four other adults who have similar disabilities. Like all young women, Gabrielle wants her independence, but of course her situation is exceptional. When she falls in love with a similarly challenged young man, Martin (Alexandre Landry), from her choir, she discovers that both the families and the social workers are alarmed, fearful that because they are “different” they would be challenged by an adult relationship.

The value of the cameras is about $100. The matter is still under investigation.

Editorial

iNSIGHT your news view

Changing views

School District No. 51 (Boundary) is putting in a very thorough GSM policy after school trustees voted it in at the board meeting on June 10 in Grand Forks.

GSM, for those who don’t know, stands for gender sexual minority and it is the latest acronym for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people.

Anyone who went to school knows that kids can be cruel. Any deviation from the norm is usually picked on and picked apart. Bullies will use anything they can to pile on the harassment and abuse to their victims.

Of course, bullying and harassment doesn’t end at grad. You find bullies at college, at the work place, and in every day live; it’s just much more subtle.

The Kootenays is a beautiful place with great, friendly people and some interesting businesses and sights to see.

Unfortunately, it seems the Kootenays falls behind larger centres in B.C. when it comes to inclusion.

Granted it could be that our lack of population makes a minority group even more isolated.

In big cities such as Vancouver, Victoria or Kelowna, you have multiple support groups for different minorities whether it be for sexual identity or race.

Hopefully, things are beginning to change. It’s great to see the school board add a policy that will not only benefit GSM students, but the entire student body.

It would be nice to see the city follow suit with some tangible outreach. Castlegar council has installed a rainbow sidewalk near downtown, while Nelson has their annual gay pride parade.

Why not something in Grand Forks to make everyone feel included?

Some of the lustre of driving now gone Second Opinion JIM HOLTZ There is nothing like being in a car wreck to put things in perspective.

A sweet and timid little deer, a mule deer I believe, leaped out of a deep roadside ditch and tried to cross in front of my Subaru last Saturday about 10 kilometres south of Beaverdell. I know that the truckers and other driving professionals say that one should never swerve to avoid animals at highway speed, but the cute creature stopped just across the centre line, leading me to believe that I could avoid her if I deked just a little to the right.

Alas, as the friendly constable assigned to the incident told me later, the shoulder along that stretch is made up of lots of sand and gravel, much of which gave way under my tires as they edged off the pavement.

The rest is a bit of a blur, consisting of some spinning, a little flipping, and several bounces. The Subaru came to rest right side up 20 feet into the ditch on the other side of the highway, facing opposite my direction of travel.

The young couple that pulled off the highway after witnessing the final couple of pirouettes said that the car had flipped at least once. Nevertheless, I opened my door, climbed out and walked up the bank to the road, apparently unhurt. Except, the young couple noted, for the gash on

the side of my head which was apparently coating that whole side of my body with blood.

A brief look at my reflection in the window of the back door of their Volvo as they packed me in for a ride to Kelowna General confirmed that I looked like a cross between one of the living dead and the main subject in a documentary film about elder abuse.

I had never been in an auto accident before, though I had been on the scene of two bad ones to offer assistance.

I thought I could hang onto that pristine record with just a slight adjustment of the steering wheel. My mistake.

Cars seem so stable, travelling down the highway at 100 or more kilometres an hour, handling curves with ease, accelerating with quiet author-

Opinion

to the editor

Public in dark about pipeline Editor, The Gazette: At the end of May I attended a “Gateway Pipeline Project Proposal” information meeting in Grand Forks. The guest speaker was Nathan Cullen, MP for Skeena, where a large section of the proposed pipeline would be situated.

As the issue is debated, the general public is kept in the dark about the true impacts of the pipeline and the real figures regarding jobs and the benefits and losses to the communities and the environment along the way.

Here are some facts: • We are not talking of one 1,200-kilometre pipeline. There are two pipelines in the proposal: one to carry the bitumen from Alberta to Kitimat and the other, alongside, to carry the chemicals necessary to dilute the bitumen so it can flow in the pipe, from Kitimat to Alberta.

• The biggest exporter of bitumen through the pipeline is a Chinese-owned company.

• There is no value added to the export of raw bitumen.

• The tankers bringing and picking up the products, the largest in the world, are foreign owned.

• Navigating through Hecate Straight and Douglas Channel is treacherous—remember the Queen of the North, a small ship in comparison.

The tankers will need towing by tugboats, at times, as the turns they must make are too sharp to navigate.

• The cleanup of bitumen spills in the ocean is quasi-impossible. Unlike oil that floats to the surface and is collected with booms, bitumen sinks to the bottom. The proposal admits that, with cooperating seas and weather, only 15 per cent could be collected in the event of leaks/ spills.

www.grandforksgazette.ca A5

• The owners of the pipeline have had over 900 leaks and spills in the past on their pipelines.

• There is a ceiling on the amount the owners are responsible to fork out in the event of a spill.

The public will be paying after.

• Hecate Straight and Douglas Channel contain pristine and unique flora and fauna in addition to many parks and protected areas.

• The jobs created to build the pipelines are short-lived and foreign workers will fill many, as Canada does not presently have enough trained workers available to satisfy its trades job market. Despite both federal and provincial governments talk about job training programs, B.C. and Canada are doing very little to train Canadians.

In the rush to extract natural resources, it is cheaper and faster for industry and government to get already-trained foreign workers.

• After the pipeline is built, the full-time positions created in the communities are only slightly greater than presently employed by the Grand Forks Sawmill, around 143 jobs.

• The fishing industry and jobs derived presently from the Skeena River and its tributaries are worth millions of dollar annually. The tourism industry of the area is also a big employer.

• The royalties paid to our governments by the oil companies are some of the lowest in the world, comparable to Nigeria.

What benefits are there for us in this proposal? They seem much greater for multi-national companies, big business and politicians then for British-Columbians and Canadians. We can still make a difference!

Suzanne Wilkin, Grand Forks

Vote for someone who listens Editor, The Gazette: It has been said that if you stand for nothing you will fall for anything. So, I’m wondering, are the citizens of Grand Forks ready to take a stand?

The City of Grand Forks plans on installing water meters inside your homes very soon.

Fortunately, they do not have the legal right to enter your home and cut your pipes unless you give them permission to do so. If you do allow one of these meters to be put in your home, you will no longer have control of who comes in your own home and when.

You will have given away your legal right to refuse entry.

Once you have city owned property in your house they have the right to come in at any time to service or replace that meter. If the city then decides to follow the federal mandate of priva-

tization, you could have a large multinational corporation in your home. I would recommend watching the documentary Blue Gold for an eye-opening view on the global war for fresh water.

Any resident who refuses a meter will have a pit meter installed on city property at their property line. Can the city charge a resident for this infrastructure not on their property? Will they take hundreds of residents to court to collect that money if the lawyers’ bills outweigh the fines?

The next council will decide the outcome.

Hopefully you will use the November election like the referendum you were never given and vote for someone who listens to the citizens of our town.

Whither wilderness?

The Victoria Day weekend in May is one of the earliest opportunities urban dwellers across the province have to load their pickups, SUVs and cars with camping gear and food for a trip to a spot somewhere remote but within easy driving distance of their homes. Those who like comfort when they are “roughing it” will tow a trailer to their favourite camping spot.

These same rituals will be performed on weekends and vacation periods annually in an attempt to fill a need for closer contact with a more natural world than is available in an urban park.

While they are away from home, these lovers of the outdoors get to Rousing build campfires, roast wieners and the Rabble marshmallows, breathe wood smoke ROY RONAGHAN particulates and eat canned foods and packaged concoctions. Depending on the weather and the population of insects, they will stay as long possible but when the time comes to leave they will be happy to pack up and go home.

The camping ritual is commonly referred to as a “wilderness experience,” but that does not describe what it truly is. Why is it even necessary? What is wilderness and does it even exist except in the human mind?

Christy Rodgers, a writer who lives in California, argues that wilderness doesn’t exist. She had a revelation while backpacking in the Marble Mountain Wilderness of California in the summer 2013 when she realized the park she was hiking in was not really wilderness. The term did not describe what she saw as she looked at a mountain peak and a small lake from her vantage point. “I knew I was in a park, not the wild. Even more, I knew that wilderness in any meaningful sense no longer existed anywhere on earth. In that moment, at that place, I had cognitively entered what scientists have named the Anthropocene.

“The end of the wild as a separate thing, a thing that surrounded civilisation and was never fully penetrable by it, always a threat to its sense of order, to its sense of power--that end was not near; it had come.

I was living in it. Now, here and anywhere on the planet’s surface, it was the wild places that were surrounded, besieged. When, ever before in history, had mountains or forests been called ‘fragile’? Our so-called wilderness areas were bounded and gated off, but they were utterly porous too.”

Rodgers reminds us that before civilization began, wilderness was everyone’s home and those who lived within it had no concept of anything else. It was the territory that provided their food and water.

Rodgers argues that wilderness is a concept that depends for existence on its opposite, civilization. “So what has died in my generation is not ‘wilderness’, because it never existed. What has died is an idea that fired human hearts and minds, and survived many efforts to eradicate it until, pummeled under the unprecedented onslaught of the Industrial/Information Age, it finally gave way almost everywhere....”

The idea of wilderness as a human concept is not a new one.

Roderick Nash, a wilderness historian retired from the University of California, Santa Barbara, wrote about wilderness in 1967 in a book called Wilderness and the American Mind. He stated,” Wilderness does not exist. It never has. It is a feeling about a place ... Wilderness is a state of mind.”

William Cronon, Environmental Historian in the Department of History at the University of Wisconsin—Madison, wrote about wilderness in 1995 in a book titled The Trouble with Nature. He stated, “Far from being the one place on earth that stands apart from humanity, it is quite profoundly a human creation—indeed, the creation of very particular human cultures at very particular moments in human history.”

Anyone who spent the long weekend in a remote location may have had a well-deserved break but they could not have had a true “wilderness experience.”

Letters

to the editor

Thank you, BCTF members Editor, The Gazette: An open letter to the presidents of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation presidents.

It is with great sadness that I observe the treatment that our teachers are getting at the hand of the current B.C. provincial government.

As a former educator I believe it is time for our government to value the work teachers do and to support them in their desire to improve learning conditions in our classrooms.

It is an absolute disgrace that in comparison with other provinces, education has become such a low priority in British Columbia.

Please thank all your members for the incredible work they do on behalf of our young people, and pass on my support in their struggle for a fair and just education system in our province.

In solidarity, Alex Atamanenko, MP B.C. Southern Interior

SCHOOL DISTRICT 51 BRIEFS The board of education for school district 51 (Boundary) met on June 10 for the final board meeting of the year.

Trustees and staff discussed several topics including a new GSM (gender sexual minority) policy, election information and heard presentations from GFSS administration on school connectedness; a GSM delegation; and Sheila Dobie, who spoke about the district literacy plan.

Staffing In May, SD51 continued to work on staffing for the 2014-15 school year. Currently, there are 23 teacher postings for next year totaling 14 FTE (full-time positions).

Superintendent Kevin Argue stated in his report, “Potentially there may be several rounds of postings as we are expecting movement of teachers into different schools.”

He added that they are also in the process of staffing education assistants, and child and youth care workers.

Buses SD51 has three new buses which arrived in the spring. The buses cost $328,431, which is covered by the ministry of education.

Election The school board will be having elections in November of this year to elect the new board; at this June 10 meeting, the board voted for secretary/treasurer Jeannette Hanlon for chief election officer.

Hanlon said that people normally put their names into the process six weeks before the election. Nomination packages can be picked up at the school board office in Grand Forks.

Thank You

Secure and calm Describes the ability to take part in daily activities and approach new situations without being overwhelmed with worries, sadness or anxiety.

To be secure and calm also means to be able to cope with stress and pressure, and to bounce back from difficulties. It is an inner capacity for well-being.

When someone does not feel secure and calm, they may be anxious. Anxiety is a normal human emotion that is essential for survival. We all feel anxious, fearful, nervous or on guard at times. In babies and toddlers normal anxiety looks like difficulties with separation or with doing new things. Preschoolers are predictably afraid of the animals, the dark and being away from parents.

SD51 adopts gender sexual minority policy CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

After hearing impassioned speeches from public health representatives as well as a parent of a GSM (gender sexual minority) student, school trustees voted in favour of a new GSM policy for the district at the board meeting on June 10.

The presentation stated that students of gender or sexual minorities experience greater levels of abuse, isolation and discrimination at school than heterosexual students.

Karly Olsen, Health Promoting Schools coordinator SD51, said that a lack of policy can lead to suicide attempts, mental health issues and developing substance abuse.

“These are among if not the most vulnerable students in our district,” said Olsen. “Based on those issues alone, I think these issues really warrant our attention and our efforts.”

The policy quoted research from a study titled Not Yet Equal: The Health of Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Youth in BC, which states: “Compared to their heterosexual counterparts, GSM students are more likely to: Experience verbal, physical and sexual abuse at school and discrimination in the community; Report higher levels of emotional stress, suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts; and feel less safe and connected to family and school.”

Research has stated that discrimination and suicidal ideation and attempts were lower among GSM students who went to schools with GSM policies than those that did not, said Olsen.

Board chair Teresa Rezansoff said that the GSM policy was originally raised by the Boundary District Teachers’ Association and was then pursued by the board.

A GSM sub-committee was formed which included Olsen, public health nurses Linda Manzon and Heather Shilton, Boundary Teachers’ head Norm Sabourin, superintendent Kevin Argue and school trustee Vicki Gee. Rezansoff said the board was very moved by the presentations which also included a short speech from a local GSM student.

“It’s always powerful to hear from students and the community,” said Rezansoff.

“The board has been supportive of a GSM policy. The work was in getting it to be something that was workable and would meet our goals.”

The new policy is called Respect for Human Diversity: Gender and Sexual Diversity, and states: “The board of education is committed to establishing and maintaining a safe and positive learning and working environment for the entire school community of students, staff and families. This includes those who identify as, or are perceived to be of a gender or sexual minority (GSM).”

Some of the GSM policy regulations include: Staff development will promote opportunities to increase: awareness and understanding of the GSM community; skills in promoting respect for human rights and diversity; skills to intervene effectively in incidents of discrimination, endangerment, harassment or bullying and provide appropriate student support and referral in a

timely manner.

Programs, curriculum and resources will be used to: Educate students in areas of healthy relationships, diversity and social justice; educate students on the impact of harassment, homophobia and transphobia; encourage teachers to integrate age-appropriate GSM resources throughout a variety of subject areas, so that individuals who identify as GSM see themselves and their lives made visible and reflected positively in the curricula.

Safety, anti-harassment and privacy: Homophobic, transphobic and heterosexist behaviours, including discrimination, harassment, exclusion and language that stereotypes will not be tolerated. This applies whether the behaviours and language are based on real or perceived GSM identification.

Complaints will be dealt with and consequences will be designed to educate.

All persons have a right to privacy, including the right to keep private one’s GSM identity.

Monk walks promoting pilgrimage, car-free lifestyle Gazette Staff

Bhaktimarga Swami walked through the Boundary last week promoting pilgrimage and a more car-free, care-free lifestyle.

Known as the “Walking Monk,” Bhaktimarga Swami (formerly John Peter Vis) adopted the monastic lifestyle of the Hare Krishna order in 1973. Globally known for his “Canwalk” marathons, he achieved the remarkable feat of walking across the entire length of Canada from the west to east coast in 1996 which was detailed in the National Film Board of Canada’s documentary, The Longest Road.

He repeated the feat again in 2003 (this time from east to west), and yet again a third time (west to east) in 2007.

He is currently working on his fourth trek across Canada, which he began in the spring of 2012 and will complete in this summer.

He is accompanied by two support workers—and one parrot named Billie—on his “friend-raiser” trek.

Bhaktimarga Swami stopped in at the Gazette office last week on his “friendraiser” trek.

Spotlight presents Gabrielle LARRY HUDEMA

to the Grand Forks Gazette

On Tuesday, June 24, Spotlight Films will be presenting Gabrielle.

The musically gifted but developmentally challenged Gabrielle (Gabrielle Marion-Rivard) lives in a group home with four other adults who have similar disabilities.

Like all young women, Gabrielle wants her independence, but of course her situation is exceptional.

When she falls in love with a similarly challenged young man, Martin (Alexandre Landry), from her choir, she discovers that both the families and the social workers are alarmed, fearful that because they are “different” they would be challenged by an adult relationship.

Then Gabrielle’s beloved and supportive sister confesses that she is going to move to India, and Gabrielle’s world is truly in danger of falling apart. As the choir prepares for an important music festival, and an opportunity to meet Robert Charlebois, a Quebec music icon, Gabrielle does everything she can to gain her independence with a stubborn courage and a real zest for life.

Despite having to confront other people’s prejudices and her own limitations she strives to experience a love far from the ordinary.

This film has won a number of awards, including best director and screenplay for Louise Archambault (Familia and the documentary The National Parks Project), who also co-wrote the film with Valerie Beaugrand-Champagne; best motion picture and best actress leading role at the Genies; and best actor supporting role for Landry at the Vancouver Film Critics

Awards; best direction and screenplay for Archambault and best supporting actress, Melissa Desmoreaux-Poulin (Sophie) at the Jutras.

Gabrielle will be shown at 7:30 p.m. at the GEM Theatre.

Thanks to Rotten Tomatoes and ImdB (Internet Movie Database)

IN BRIEF

Win a Startlight Dinner Party

A delectable meal of seven courses, each course paired with a different wine, at an undisclosed riverside location decorated to fulfill the enchantment of a starlight dinner party—who wouldn’t want to win such a prize?

The Friends of the Grand Forks Public Library are offering that chance for one lucky winner and seven lucky invited guests (selected by the winner). Only 200 tickets will be sold, at $25 each. This is the second Starlight Dinner Party the Friends have offered; the first, two years ago, sold out quickly. All proceeds will be used to support the library.

Watch for Friends selling tickets at the library; members will also have a table set up at this year’s Canada Day celebrations to be held in City Park. Phone Friends president Della Mallette at 250-442-8175 or email dmallette@ nethop.net for tickets or further information.

The Friends of the Grand Forks Public Library is a group of dedicated community members that help to expand, enhance, and promote the public image of the library. The Friends raise funds that are used to supplement the library budget and provide extras that are not included.

Environment

RDKB offers help against weeds SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Now that the planting is done its time to start thinking about getting onto treating the invasive plants before they go to seed! A bit of extra work this spring can make a big difference to the amount of work you may have to do the rest of the year.

There are a number of tools available to deal with the invasive plants in our regional district. For those of you who would like to use herbicide to treat your invasive plants, there are options.

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) is offering an equipment loan-out program for landowners to treat on their own private land.

The RDKB does not provide herbicide. There are a number of retailers that supply herbicides.

Each piece of equipment comes with an operations manual and information on safe herbicide application. The Boundary Invasive Species Program

HOARY ALYSSUM

coordinator can suggest what herbicide would work best for your weeds.

The equipment available includes a 3-point hitch tractor mount sprayer, a skid mount sprayer for use in a pickup box, a sprayer that can be mounted on an ATV and backpacks. The equipment is stored in Grand Forks but if you are in the West Boundary arrangements can be made to transport the equipment for you so you don’t have to travel to Grand Forks.

If you are interested in using the equipment you can contact Barb Stewart at 250-446-2232 or John Carlson at 250442-0007.

For those of you who would prefer to have someone else spray your weeds the RDKB also has a 50 per cent Cost Share Program in electoral areas D and E. There is also a New Invaders Program in electoral areas D and E which covers 100 per cent of the cost.

For information on which invasive plants are covered and which program you are covered for please contact the Boundary Invasive Species Program Coordinator at boundaryinvasives@gmail. com or 250-446-2232.

You can also contact Alan Stanley the RDKB director of environmental services at 1-800-355-7352.

if they escape. Your best bet is to buy single varieties of seeds as they are less likely to be contaminated.

When you are buying plants or seeds be very careful of ones that promote themselves as vigorous self seeders. The term prolific should also be a red flag.

When possible purchase things that are native to where you live. Native plants usually require a bit less attention than ornamentals. In the Boundary area a lot of our native plants, shrubs and trees require less water so when the water restrictions come on you will still have a lovely looking yard. If more people start requesting native species from nurseries and greenhouses there is a good chance that they will become more readily available.

Native bushes such as Oceanspray and Lewis’s mock orange are very attractive to native pollinators.

For the bird lovers berry producing native shrubs like black elderberry and Nootka Rose are good choices. A flower bed of Alpine asters, Pearly everlasting,

Larkspur, Yarrow and some goldenrod would be beautiful and low maintenance.

We all want more time to relax and enjoy life. When we plant native species we are helping create habitat for native pollinators, birds and animals. In this day and age there are so many ways to gain knowledge.

A quick internet search, a trip to the library, or a call to a knowledgeable friend or family member can save you so much time and money down the road. Remember just because you can buy it doesn’t mean you should. It feels good to be a responsible land steward.

It doesn’t matter if your domain is a few square metres or a few square kilometres. Protecting and preserving this planet for future generations is every ones responsibility.

For more information on invasive species please contact the Boundary Invasive Species Society at boundaryinvasives@gmail.com or 250-446-2232 and on Facebook.

Be careful of what you plant BOUNDARY INVASIVES SPECIES SOCIETY to the Grand Forks Gazette

For those of you who are planting the last of your flowers and plants for summer, be careful of what you plant because you don’t want a harvest of invasive plants!

Be wary of wild flower seed mixes.

They often contain things like Bachelors buttons which can become a problem

CYSTIC FIBROSIS CANADA to the Grand Forks Gazette

On Saturday, June 21, over 100 family members and friends of Canadians with cystic fibrosis (CF) will “GearUp4CF” and participate in a one-, two-, or nineday bike ride to raise funds in support of life-giving CF research. Twenty-two cyclists are already registered to ride for nine days (1,200 kilometres) from Vancouver to Banff, climbing nine mountain summits to a final altitude of 8,100 metres.

On June 21, the 100+ riders will leave Vancouver and arrive in Grand Forks, staying at the Western Traveller Motel, in the afternoon of June 24, and leaving at 8 a.m. the next morning to ride to Rossland.

This year’s nine-day GearUp4CF ride has some very inspirational riders. One such rider, Bill Markvoort, turns 65 this year and hopes to raise $65,000 in memory of his daughter Eva, who lost her courageous battle with CF in 2010 at the age of 25. Walter Brennen, father of two girls with CF, lost one daughter to CF at the age of 12, and his second daughter had a double lung transplant in 2012.

Three nine-day riders participating this year have cystic fibrosis: Paul Underhill (double lung transplant recipient) is participating in his second GearUp4CF ride. He is co-creator of the nutritional drink Rumble as seen on Dragon’s Den this season; George Keulen (double lung transplant recipient) is also riding for the second year; and Mike Hamilton, who is attempting his

third GearUp4CF ride. He has not had a lung transplant.

Hamilton, now 27, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at age 12. He is determined to take on this challenge to raise awareness and funds for the disease which has made such an impact in his life.

“Far too many people continue to die at my age or younger from this disease.

To change this, we need to keep pushing the pace of research and clinical treatments and for that to happen we need to keep raising funds and awareness for CF,” Hamilton said. Of the Canadians with cystic fibrosis who died in 2012, half were under age 32.

Since its inception in 2006, GearUp4CF has raised over $1.25 million and the event continues to grow.

Piranhas return from Trail with bronze medal CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks Piranhas swim club were in action again this past weekend at a meet in Trail and finished a very respectable third.

“This past weekend we saw great swimming from many of our swimmers as they tried to better their times in both the preliminary session and the finals session all in the same day,” said assistant coach Doug Van Ek. “We had a great attendance of 32 swimmers and of those nearly all improved their best times, many of which were from the Grand Forks home meet a week before.”

Piranha Kiyomi Dunnet broke the meet record of 36.17 held by Amanda Freschi since 2001 in the Division 3 Girls 50m Butterfly in prelims. Teammate Shian Corbeil broke it again in the finals with a time of 35.46 a mere .26 ahead of Kiyomi.

Bryce Findlater achieved a personal best time in the 50m Butterfly. He took off 5 seconds.

Grand Forks swimmer of the meet honours went to Aysia Morgan. “She achieved four personal best times over the weekend and qualified for finals in all four events,” said Van Ek. “In the 100m Freestyle, Aysia took off 16 seconds! It is Aysia’s first year in division two, which means she is compet-

ing against girls a year older yet Aysia is set upon catching these girls and striving for a medal. She was a close contender for the bronze medal this past weekend.”

Van Ek said that the meet was a challenge as swimmers had to race in both heats and finals. “Competing at a meet with both heats and finals poses a difficult task as the swimmers must qualify with a fast morning time to race in finals, and then they race to the finish yet again for the first place finish,” he said.

“Overall the Piranhas posted many great times in both sessions and will continue to improve for next weekends meet in Creston.”

Church celebrates 25 years BRENDA AUGE

to the Grand Forks Gazette

On May 31, Christ Lutheran Church, Grand Forks, celebrated 25 years since its inception with a special service and a delightful dinner.

Led by Pastor Ken Schauer, former members, close friends from Trinity Lutheran Church in Republic, Wash., and regional pastors joined our

Nick W. Areshenkoff Nick W. Areshenkoff was born in Pelly, Saskatchewan on November 6, 1930 to William and Kathleen (Reibin) Areshenkoff. At the age of 15, in 1945, his family moved to Grand Forks, B.C., where he attended school and attained a Grade 10 education.

In 1951, he began working construction at Columbia Cellulose Co. Ltd. power house in the Prince Rupert area and later at Waneta Dam near Trail. After a couple of years he chose to return to Grand Forks and began working at his dad’s sawmill in the Snowball Creek area up the North Fork and for a brief time at Bill’s Billiards, the poolhall owned by his dad.

Soon his eye settled on a beautiful young girl named Elizabeth Pankoff. He was smitten and after a courtship they married in 1955. They were blessed with the birth of their daughter Linda, in the same year, followed by their sons Ron, in 1957 and Barry, in 1960. Up until this time, they lived in an apartment above Bill’s Billiards and Anne’s Grill Café. Around this time he took over the log hauling business from his dad and shortly after began building a house for his growing family.

They moved to their new neighborhood on the hospital street in 1961 and in 1964 welcomed their third son, Danny to the family. Life was very good for many years – the best of neighbors, lots of kids to play together with and many activities to share with all the families.

It was here that Nick began his community involvement over the next many years; Minor Hockey; the Border Bruins, City Council, Grand Forks Credit Union, Chamber of Commerce, Regional District, Hardy View Lodge, Boundary Hospital Board, Inaugural Int’l Baseball Committee and Selkirk College Foundation.

In 1971 their loving son, Danny, passed away at six years of age which left a deep and lasting scar on the family.

In September 1977, when Nick was returning from a hockey meeting in the East Kootenay he sustained injuries from an accident at the viewpoint at Christina Lake, which left him temporarily unable to work. As a result, son Barry took over driving the logging truck. After his recovery, Nick filled in driving for others, followed by work on construction of Parta Industries and then eventually retiring.

Nick was an avid reader, particularly concerning history, politics and culture.

He had a knack for telling a story and loved to talk about the good old days. Saskatchewan remained dear to his heart and he took every opportunity to reminisce.

Growing up, Dad was a tough disciplinarian. He had a passionate personality, a bark that was worse than his bite and a forgiving nature. He was charismatic, outgoing and social. He looked forward to getting up at 6 or 7 in the morning to meet his fellow A&W buddies for coffee, sometimes returning in the afternoon for a second round. As well, his frequent drop-in visits to The Farm brightened his day, especially when he was treated to the fabulous meals prepared by his nieces.

Over the 33 or so years of operating a health store with Elizabeth, Nick enjoyed helping customers and spent a lot of time researching information on their behalf.

He was more than happy to provide encouragement and share his knowledge.

The friendships made during the years involved with the Border Bruins and through son Ron’s hockey career, remained deeply important to Nick. Anywhere he travelled, he would invariably run into someone from the hockey community and the stories would begin. The family always billeted players and took the boys in as their own. He maintained many of these friendships to the end.

Nick held the role of family patriarch to immediate and extended family alike who depended on him for help and advice on various matters. With his daughter, Linda, and grandson, Jared, beside him he passed away very unexpectedly the morning of June 2, 2014 at the Boundary Hospital. His family meant the world to him and we are devastated by his sudden passing and the immense void this leaves in our lives.

Nick was predeceased by his son Danny in 1971, father William in 1983, mother Kathleen in 1985 and his beloved wife Elizabeth in 2012, a loss he still felt profoundly. He also endured the loss of many other relatives and extended family members.

Left to mourn his loss are his children Linda (son Jared); Ron and Becky (Corson, Landyce); Barry and Charleen (Ashley, Nilan, Alicia); six great-grandchildren, sisters Paulette (Ralph) Tedesco; Mable Blakely; brother Bill (Marge); his Uncle Walter Reibin; a nephew; numerous nieces and cousins.

May God accept his soul into His Heavenly Kingdom and may he rest in peace.

Funeral services were held on Friday, June 6th at the USCC Community Centre in Grand Forks, following by internment at the USCC Sion Cemetery. Grand Forks Funeral Home had care of arrangements.

The family is greatly appreciative to everyone who telephoned, sent cards and flowers, visited the home, brought food and attended the service, especially those who traveled over distance. Your heartfelt support was such a comfort to us.

Thank you to Deborah Baker and staff at Grand Forks Funeral Home; J.J. Verigin and family, Paul (Jerry) Seminoff for officiating the service, the singers, cooks and grave diggers. The family is also grateful to the doctors and the emergency team at Boundary Hospital for their tireless effort and compassionate support.

Donation to ISKRA Publications or to the Grand Forks Border Bruins would be appreciated.

I’d like the memory of me To be a happy one.

I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles When life is done.

numbers to celebrate with song, stories, readings, greetings, and a sermon by Pastor Don Schiemann, Alberta/B.C. district president.

A number of the original members joined in burning the mortgage papers as the building became ours. Historically we recalled the early meetings in the Scout Hall, VBS programs over the years, a variety of pastors with their support and leadership, purchasing our building then renovating the basement, fundraisers and church meals, and the many rich musical talents that have enhanced our services.

Our service was followed by dinner at Dueling Oaks Restaurant, Christina Lake, where everyone (75 people) enjoyed the sun-drenched environment and the excellent food. A special cake was cut by our “senior” member, Nancy Koch.

Nancy Koch, an original Grand Forks member, cuts the cake.

William (Bill) Bevan Sadly our Dad, William (Bill) Bevan, a five year resident of Grand Forks BC, passed away peacefully in the Boundary Hospital on June 12th, 2014, after a short illness. Dad was predeceased by our Mum (Shirley), his wife of 60 years, in January 2014. He will be missed by his five girls; Barbara (Bill), Christine (George), Judy (Cliff), Pam (Fred) and Yvonne (Shawn), his 12 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

There were many things we loved about Dad but will especially miss the creative and often quirky solutions he would find to solve life’s day to day problems. He enjoyed his life in Grand Forks and was a member of the Legion and the Boundary Woodworkers Guild. His girls would like to give special thanks to Uncle David and Auntie Sheila (Bevan) for their love and support. We would also like to thank the doctors and the staff of the Boundary Hospital for their care and support during his illness.

Flowers are gratefully declined; any donations can be made to the Legion, Boundary Woodworkers Guild or a charity of your choice. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Deborah Baker of Grand Forks Funeral Home gffh@shaw.ca.

Peter Perepelkin to the trails society to improve the trail to the top of Observation.

Perepelkin and wife Joy have donated $10,000 from a special fund which was set up in memory of their son Keith. The fund will be paid in installments of $1,000 per year for 10 years.

“It’s a fantastic jewel of a landmark that is not being utilized or recognized in the community,” he said. “We want to improve the trail so it’s more accessible to more people and make sure it has proper signage and is maintained.”

Bat houses The city has erected five bat houses around Grand Forks to help control insect populations in a natural manner. The five bat dwellings are located at the city cemetery, Boundary Drive and trail area, and under Observation loop trail.

“We were asking ourselves if there was another way (to control insects) other than spraying,” said Taylor. “The argument is that the spraying is fairly innocuous and that they use safe chemicals. But there is a lot of objections to spraying anything on anything.

So clearly moving this direction and using nature to control nature is positive. Although it’s a small step, it’s an important step.”

Contributing to the creation of the bat houses were: Telus, which donated five poles that the bat homes sit on; the Boundary Woodworkers Guild, which did the building of the bat houses; Stryker Industries, which donated all the material and labour to fabricate the brackets that mount the bat boxes to the poles; and the City of Grand Forks installed them.

Also instrumental in the process were the City of Grand Forks’ city council’s environment committee and the Granby Wilderness Society.

Riparian sign The last ribbon cutting of the day was at City Park for the new kiosk on the Kettle River which tells readers of the many benefits of the riparian area.

“I think what we’re doing is sending signals to the community about what we as council and what we believe they support—which is to value some of these riparian areas that surround the city that make the environment we create around the rivers,” said Mayor Brian Taylor. “It’s become so important to understand the relationship between quality of water and how we look after the surrounding lands around rivers and streams and wetlands.”

Taylor said it’s been pressure from groups like the Granby Wilderness Society to protect the habitat that has result in the city putting up the information signs and kiosks.

“It’s had a snowballing effect,” he said. “If we’re going to look after the Lewis woodpecker and the cottonwood areas then we’re already in the riparian business. I think this is all part of a trend with Grand Forks leading the way with this kind of environmental sensitivity.”
