A new “watchdog” group has formed in Grand Forks over concern about the upcoming water meter installation.

At the July 21 Committee of the Whole (COTW) meeting, spokesperson Karin Bagn spoke to council about the goals of the People’s Review Commission on Water Metering created in Grand Forks.

Bagn spoke for a couple of minutes before being cut off by Mayor Brian Taylor for going over the pre-set, two-minute time limit.

“That has ran well over two minutes,” said Taylor to Bagn.

“Council, do you wish to hear any further comment from this speaker?”

Councillor Gary Smith replied no, while no other councillor spoke up.

Bagn said she had never spoken at council before and being cut off was a violation of her rights as a citizen and resident.

“I am legally blind—I cannot read my written comments so I’ve prepared them and I will provide them to be included as part of the record,” she said. “We have begun a People’s Review Commission to access whether or not the people want to pursue litigation associated with water metering. We’d much prefer to have a cooperative engagement with the city. If the city is not willing to do that, we’ll look at other avenues.”

In an email, Doug Allin, city

Mayor Brian Taylor and Rotary president Wayne Christensen both took shovels in hand Thursday and turned the first sod to signify the officially start of the Grand Forks Spray Park project. Also on hand were several city councillors, staff members and Rotarians. The project is expected to cost $350,000 with money raised by or donated to the Rotary club.

chief administrative officer, told the Gazette that he had not heard of the People’s Review group.

Answering the question about whether an injunction against water metering is possible, Allin said, “I have not heard of this as there are over 120 municipalities from B.C. which have installed water meters. This would require a lawyer and judge.”

Taylor told the Gazette that council has the authority to act regarding water meter installation under the Municipal Act. “I think her comments at this point were more meant to get our attention than anything else,” he said. “I don’t think it’s really a risk. We didn’t get into a discussion of the ‘what if’ of the situation. It would be the first of its kind for someone to challenge how we spend our gas tax money.”

Bagn has lived in Grand Forks for nine years and has been a practicing lawyer for over 30 years. She has an on-going postconviction criminal law practice in Colorado. She is currently studying for her Canada law boards.

She admits she is getting into

the water meter battle late in the game. “I have to confess that I did not keep myself adequately informed on what was going on in my community,” said Bagn.

“When I heard water meters it didn’t register that these water meters were using microwave technology. When I did make the connection I found out about the technology and all the health risks.”

She said countries such as Ireland, Australia and the United States are now removing water meters and smart meters because of health risks.

“People I talked to here are feeling discouraged,” said Bagn.

“They say, ‘Oh well, there’s nothing we can do, city government says we have to have these meters.’ I don’t believe that the city government has the right to impose something on the populace without doing so according to principles of fundamental justice under Section 7 of the charter.”

In her letter to council and staff, Bagn wrote about several concerns about water meters including: 1. Residents are concerned

Water regulation bylaw given three readings CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Grand Forks city council moved one step closer to starting the water meter installation project.

At the regular council meeting on July 21, council heard and passed the first three readings for the new water regulation bylaw (No. 1973).

Firstly, council voted to repeal water regulation bylaw No. 1501, which was adopted in 1997.

The background information to council stated, “The City of Grand Forks Water Regulations and Rates Bylaw No. 1501 was adopted in 1997 and requires updating to meet the current requirements for management and maintenance of the waterworks system of Grand Forks. The proposal is to have city council adopt a new water regulations bylaw which is similar to bylaws currently in use by other municipalities and cities in the • See WATER BYLAW page A7

POLICE BRIEFS

Tools stolen

On July 15 at 4:32 p.m., RCMP received a call from a gentleman stating he was missing a set of hand tools from his carport on 68th Ave. “Apparently, what was stolen was 20 ITC off-set wrenches and a rolled up red case,” said Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison.

The theft likely occurred on the evening of July 12 when the complainant said he heard his dog barking, said Harrison.

The value of the theft is around $50. Police have no witnesses or suspects at this time.

Val tag stolen

Police received a report of a stolen val (validation/insurance) tag on July 16 at 4:48 p.m.

The complainant has no idea when the theft may have occurred, said Harrison.

Police currently have no witnesses or suspects.

Lake patrol Dr. Robert Halpenny, CEO and president of Interior Health, checks out the Boundary Hospital’s cardiac monitor with Karen Heric, patient care coordinator, during a visit here on July 16.

Harrison said the RCMP is out in force on and around Christina Lake checking for liquor act and other offences.

“We are continuing to do lots of vessel checks on the lake as well,” he said.

Health CEO tours hospital CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Boundary Hospital got a thumbs up recently from the head of Interior Health (IH).

Interior Health CEO and president Dr. Robert Halpenny, as well as board chair Norman Embree, were at the Grand Forks hospital on July 16 as part of a tour of hospitals and health centres in the area.

“On a yearly basis the board chair and I try and visit all our communities throughout Interior Health,” said Halpenny. “The purpose of our visits is to understand the geography, the topography that our rural health authority patients are exposed to. We visit medical staff at each site, we visit our staff at each site, we spend some time with local politicians.”

They also meet with local health auxiliaries and foundations, said Halpenny.

“We also do tours to make sure we understand the requirements in an individual site,” he said. “It gives us the opportunity to hear from our staff what their issues are. As a CEO of a $1.9-billion organization it’s important that I know what’s going on.”

Halpenny says Grand Forks and area residents are fortunate to have the medical resources that they do.

“Our staff and the medical staff are very cohesive; they work as a team,” he said. “I think some of that comes back to the team aspect of this community. The physicians are involved with teaching medical students and residents—that raises the quality. The

services that are provided such as a cancer diagnosis, they can get the treatment here in many cases. It’s a very high functioning site and I’m very proud of it.”

New acute health services administrator Halpenny also announced that a replacement has been found for Ingrid Hampf, who has retired as acute services administrator after 30 years with IH. Brigitte McDonough will be starting as health services administrator – acute services for Kootenay Boundary starting on Aug. 18.

McDonough has been a registered nurse with 14 years of leadership experience working in large, integrated healthcare systems, most recently with Alberta Health Services.

She will be living in Nelson.

Seniors Halpenny said the seniors in the Grand Forks area are well taken care of by the health system.

“One of the fortunate things about a community this size is because you have a team approach, folks that are in the community are identified when they have a problem or an issue,” he said. “Very often in the larger centres (seniors) fall through the cracks and end up in emergency. Here, because everything is on one site—you have home and community care, you have physicians—you have all the services that can identify those people and offer support for them. People really look after each other in these communities. We have to recognize that too.”

Ingrid Hampf, acute health service administrator for the Kootenay Boundary for Interior Health, retired after more than 30 years of service at Boundary Hospital. The occasion was celebrated with a cake as co-workers and friends came by to wish her well in her retirement.

For the record

In our July 9 edition of the Grand Forks Gazette we mistakenly ran an inappropriate item in our Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down section, which amounted to an attack on a local company. We apologize to any damage this may have caused to those individuals involved.

In the July 16 issue, in a story about the drowning tragedy of Joe Lafreniere, Mitch Petersen was incorrectly identified as Mitch Harrison throughout the story.

A couple of weeks of 35 degree weather has certainly brought home the fact that summer has settled in, a very welcome relief from winter snow and spring rain.

Everyone has a couple special ways of celebrating summer, things they look forward to doing, places they want to visit.

I’m no different, though my days of wanting to spend a long weekend at a music festival or an entire week on the West Coast Trail are long gone. The idea of enduring the heat, dust and deprivation of a crowded, makeshift campground, cheek to jowl with 10,000 other people, no longer

seems the liberating experience it once was.

And between my creaking joints and enfeebled musculature, strenuous climbs, hikes, paddles and portages no longer generate a lust for adventure.

Still, I do look forward to other summer treats. Watching younger men abuse their bodies in the Tour de France for three weeks in July is a wonderful way to start each morning. Since I usually get up at about 6:30, that means I have an hour and a half or two to tune into the Sports Network and marvel at the ultra thin and fit professional cyclists climbing up through mountain passes with gradients between eight and 20 per cent and then racing down at speeds of up to 90 kph.

My wife, Judy, and I both cheer them on over toast and coffee.

Then there is the heartstopping, annual summer outing to the river where we bravely climb down the steep bank with our floaties and plunge into the raging Granby. There we risk skinning our hands, feet and bums on the rocky bottom as the flood carries us swiftly from one bridge to another. Some years we even have enough bravado to do that twice.

Perhaps, though, the summer pleasure that is the most enjoyable and also the most time consuming is our pursuit of the perfect summer beverage.

Unlike the many summer activities that I once took part in, and have since abandoned, this endeavour every year seems to require greater and greater effort, more research, more trial and error. It seems to take days and days for Judy and I to come up with a liba-

And there have been some great ones: for example, the Shuswap Sunrise (champagne with cranberry and orange juice) and the Painkiller à la Peche, (rum, Coco Lopez, orange and pineapple juice with a couple of peach slices).

This year was particularly difficult, requiring batch after batch of tequila spiked concoctions before we finally settled on the perfect 2014 Summer Drink of the Year, the Brown Creek Watermelon Margarita (tequila, triple sec, a little strawberry margarita mix and a whole bunch of frozen watermelon chunks, all whipped up in a blender).

That reminds me, since it is 36 degrees out and the sun is blisteringly intense, I think I will make up a batch, sit out in the shade and watch my neighbour finish his haying.

Opinion

Extreme access destroys We don’t learn from history delicate ecosystems Letters

to the editor

Editor, The Gazette: As a certified trainer of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (aka the Green Book or OSHA), I had the privilege of conveying many of its sobering truths to hundreds of supervisors in the mining industry back in Ontario.

These truths can of course be extended to all walks of life because that’s what truth is and does.

OSHA is legislation that was (and still is being) “written in blood”—i.e. most of its laws, regulations, and their ensuing modifications took place after repeated health and/or safety disasters had occurred.

I say this because I’m hoping Grand Forks city council (and staff) will practise due diligence by following (Section 25 of Part III) and therefore “taking

every precaution reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of a worker” (or in our case, “citizen”) from the EMF (Electro-Magnetic Frequency) radiation emitted

by WiFi-capable hydro and water meters.

Much suffering could have been alleviated had arsenic, asbestos, lead, mercury and other substances been “designated” as harmful to human health years or even decades earlier. X-rays are also regulated under OSHA as well as “radon daughters.”

Thus my point that longwave EMF radiation is really the electronic equivalent of second-hand cigarette smoke. Particularly at risk are children and pregnant women.

But until Health Canada reduces its EMF emission standards by a factor of at

least 100 to align with many other nations, including most of Europe and even China and Russia, we will all continue to face the longterm consequences.

Industry experts tell us that to eliminate hazards we can do one of three things: distance yourself from the hazard, wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when near the hazard, or engineer the hazard out of the system. My wife and I would prefer to stay in Grand Forks and not have to shield our home, so let’s see how we can work together to eliminate or at least minimize this EMF hazard before too much “blood” is shed!

Unfortunately, the only thing we generally learn from history is that we don’t learn from history!

Tom Tripp Grand Forks

Give election jobs to locals Editor, The Gazette: What a disappointment to some citizens with the city decision to spend $7,600plus or taxpayers’ money to

hire an electronic vote counting machine to an outside company instead of allowing local folks and pensioners to augment their income by the

old, less expensive, trusted counting by hand.

R. Gracewell, Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette: Roy Ronaghan’s article on your opinion page, “Water meter statements misleading, groundless,” rings absolutely true. And “to suggest that water users will voluntarily conserve the quantities necessary is pure fantasy” tells it like it is.

All you have to do is observe lawn lovers wasting gallons of precious water by drowning their grass patches with programmed water arcs that sometimes overreach by 10 or 15 feet to inundate their carefully paved driveways.

Or the city sidewalk.

I observed one gentleman in a retirement community regularly hand-hosing his immaculate triangular lawn at 5:30 a.m.... while his nighttime programmed watering system was still throwing three full arcs of water 15 feet beyond his perimeter, all this? WHILE IT WAS RAINING! This is unconscionable.

It is immoral! The only procedure that will stop this insanity is WATER METERS. Do it! I consider that with the torrid temperatures we’ve been having this summer, a good citizen should

have figured out that the water table is too low to afford the luxury of a green lawn.

When I see a lush green lawn these days, I think “water thief.”

Until water meters are installed, a hefty fine might temper this green obsession.

Let’s save water for the people who may find their faucets running dry next month... for the farmers who are already rationing themselves... and for the firefighters who might need it to save our forests and our homes.

Huguette Kihl, Grand Forks

Ronaghan column rings true

A letter by Barry Brandow, published April 23 on an online news page, makes the point that access to the grasslands area for “recreational” vehicles is literally destroying habitat for the species that make it their home and further endangering those that are on the brink of extinction.

Brandow—a long-time resident of the area probably knows more about the grasslands than any other person in the region—is troubled by what has taken place on the sunny, grassy slopes over four decades. He has good reason to ask why such extensive access is permitted by the very government ministries that are Rousing responsible for managing the area. the Rabble A drive to the Overton watershed or ROY RONAGHAN into the Morrissey Creek watershed proves Brandow’s point. New trails are being created on steep slopes and existing trails have been highly eroded and resemble stream beds.

By Brandow’s estimates, there are at least 80 kilometres of passable service roads forming a network on the slopes and around the tree-covered areas. They were created by forest companies and were never decommissioned. Some are dead ends.

Do the residents of Boundary Country appreciate the uniqueness of the Gilpin area?

Why are the access roads in and around the grassland so highly used?

Does riding a fossil fuel burning, noisy machine over a well-worn forest service road or an old railway bed put the operator in touch with nature? Is that not the purpose of being outdoors on a machine?

Operators of all-terrain vehicles, dirt bikes and mountain bikers will argue that they enjoy travelling the network of roads in the area for the challenge they provide and the views from high points. Is that all?

Aren’t motorized vehicle activities more an expression of human dominance over nature rather than having an experience in it? Vehicle manufacturers bombard television audiences with ads to make that point. A recent Jeep ad makes the point that the vehicle will go anywhere.

Will a ride on a machine of some sort on a trail accompanied by other machines alleviate what Richard Louv calls “nature deficit disorder” (NDD), a malady suffered by most 21st century urban dwellers? It’s doubtful that it would.

Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods and The Nature Principle, coined the term NDD to describe the growing gap between children and Nature.

He admits that adults have the same disconnection from nature.

“Every day, our relationship with nature or lack of it, influences our lives.

This has always been true. But in the twenty-first century, our survival—or thrival—will require a transformative framework for that relationship, a reunion of humans with the rest of nature.”

Louv describes a future shaped by “the Nature Principle, an amalgam of converging theories and trends as well as a reconciliation with old truths.

This principle holds that a reconnection to the natural world is fundamental to human health, well-being, spirit and survival.”

The answer to the question at the opening of this essay is no. How could it be otherwise? Isn’t the operator’s attention fully devoted to driving the machine and away from where the road runs? Don’t ATV operators run their machines off the well-travelled trails for the thrill of running where few machines have gone before? The damage they may cause is not a concern.

Motorcycle riders who make the circle route from Nelson to Kaslo and then to Nakusp, New Denver and south through the Slocan valley say they enjoy the route and the thrill they get from riding it. Seldom do they mention the natural setting.

ATV operators would do well to include a trip into a natural setting on occasion for their own health but not on a machine. Park the machine and walk a few kilometres.

News

To commodity water is unfair and inhumane

province, but structured to meet our community’s need.”

Several people in the audience at the council meeting were worried about the potential large fines for water use violators (12.1) Taylor responded by saying those fines would only be worse-case scenarios. “For example, if a large industry or someone in collusion with industry were to jeopardize the whole system in terms of the health and welfare of our community. We’d want a strong enough hammer there to really discourage people from risking many malfeasances to the citizens of Grand Forks.”

Editor, The Gazette: An open letter to CAO Doug Allin and members of the Grand Forks City Council: Concerning the new water metering bylaws now under consideration for first, second and third readings at this evening’s meeting (July 21, 2014), and for probable adoption on Aug. 18, 2014, I understood that these draft bylaws were only available within the Information package that was prepared for the COTW meeting held on June 23, 2014; draft bylaws are not posted on the city’s website because they are not yet in force.

With all due respect, in my opinion this seems to be an extremely restrictive situation, for if the people who attended the June COTW meeting (or those who took the time to go into City Hall and pick up the package) are the only ones who were able to provide you with meaningful feedback, then your opportunities for improvement of these documents has been very limited, wouldn’t you agree?

I’ve had a chance to peruse the bylaws and I am very concerned and disappointed at the highly punitive levies that are delineated therein. For example, in certain circumstances, fines of $1,000 to $10,000 per day are specified for people who are found in violation of the said bylaws. And there are many other excessively draconian measures described for “offenders.”

Mr. Allin stated that these bylaws were “imported” from other communities. Doesn’t Grand Forks deserve a customized set of bylaws that fairly and humanely deal with issues concerning a substance that is essential to life?

To commodity water and penalize users to this extent is, in my opinion, completely unfair and inhumane. Let’s be reasonable here; we, the residents of Grand Forks, are not criminals yet we are being treated as such with these proposed bylaws.

Beverley Tripp, Grand Forks

Water bylaw

Continued from page A1

A few highlights of bylaw 1973 10. Water Meters 10. 1 Every owner of property who receives the supply of water from the waterworks system shall, at the sole cost of the owner, purchase a water meter from the city and shall install the water meter on his or her property in compliance with the provisions of this bylaw.

10.2 Notwithstanding 10.1, the city shall supply and install water meters to those properties built prior to Jan. 1, 2015 free of charge.

10.11 If a water meter installed on a property is destroyed, lost or damaged in any way, the owner shall repair or replace the water meter at his or her sole cost.

11. Failure to install a water meter 11. 1 If an owner fails to install a water meter as re-

People’s review

quired by this bylaw, the city may, upon giving notice to the owner, install a meter pit and water meter at the curb stop at the sole cost of the owner.

Prior to and including July 31, 2015 the owner will be responsible for the difference in cost between in-home installation and meter pit installation. After July 31, 2015, the owner will be responsible for all costs associated with installation.

12. Offences and prohibitions 12.1 Any person who contravenes any of the provisions in this bylaw is liable upon summary conviction to a minimum fee of no less than $1,000 and a maximum fine of $10,000 and the cost of prosecution. Every day during which there is an infraction of this bylaw shall constitute a separate offence.

16. Inspection 16.1 The manager of operations and any bylaw enforcement officer may enter on any property at any reasonable time for the purpose of inspecting and ascertaining whether the regulations and requirements of this bylaw are being observed.

16.2 No person shall obstruct or interfere with the manager of operations or any bylaw enforcement officer in the performance of his or her duties or the exercise of his or her powers under this bylaw.

Final reading for the bylaw is expected to be at the regular city council meeting on Aug. 18.

Continued from page A1

about health hazards of microwave technology used in water metering and believe their concerns have not been adequately addressed by the city; 2. Many members of the community believe there are serious privacy issues associated with the manner and implementation of water meters, and believe these concerns have not been adequately addressed; and 3. Many residents object to being forced into water meters at all. Resident object to being forced to have meters installed on their property by virtue of severe fines and threat of lawsuits for non-compliance.

The commission plans to prepare a report and hold a public meeting down the road when it will discuss the findings.

“After considering the findings and recommendations of the commission, the people of Grand Forks and surrounding areas will be able to cooperatively and jointly make well-informed decisions about what steps, if any, should be implemented as a result,” said Bagn.

Bagn said she believes everyone has the responsibility to step up for their community.

“A lot of people are fearful. A lot of people believe what City Hall tells them and that they have no choice,” said Bagn. “Sometimes it takes someone to stand up and say, ‘hey, let’s slow down. Let’s really make sure this decision is healthy and safe and arrived at through proper means.’ We don’t want litigation—we want justice.”

The Boundary Museum and Interpretive Centre has had a busy summer so far.

On July 17, the centre hosted a fun day which included baking fresh bread in the outdoor wood-burning stove and churning fresh butter.

On hand were several Russian ladies with authentic period clothing.

“We had plenty of comments from people who were here saying how good it was,” said Joe Tatangelo, president of the Boundary Museum Heritage Society. “It was very nice to have the Russian ladies up here with the authentic dresses. It really added to it.”

The centre, which is open from Monday to Saturday, bakes fresh bread every Thursday.

Tatangelo said the flour is made locally at the flour mill and the wheat for the flour is grown in Rock Creek. “So we’re using all local stuff to make the bread,” he said. “How much better can you get than that?”

New manager The museum also has a new museum manager: Charlotte Murray.

Murray started at the centre on April 15 and she says she is delighted to meet so many wonderful people.

Success By 6 Fundraiser

Friday, July 25

in front of the Winnipeg Liquor Store (beside Gyro Park) 8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Avalon Gardens will be donating $1 to Success By 6 from each lily sale.

Hot Dogs and Pop available by donation beginning at 9:00 a.m.

Success By 6 supports parents and communities in creating healthy, nurturing environments for our youngest children, so that by age 6, they are physically, socially, and emotionally ready to succeed in school. The goal of Success By 6 is to better the lives of our Boundary area children in our families and enhancing our communities.

Success by 6® is a locally based initiative in partnership with:

Phoenix Foundation of the Boundary Communities • Ministry of Children & Family Development • Grand Forks Credit Union

is a proud supporter of this community initaitive

“Grand Forks and the Boundary area are a rich tapestry of cultural diversity and have a multitude of historically significant locations to discover,” she said.

Before coming to Grand Forks she worked at the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel in Cranbrook.

Murray said the museum has been very busy throughout the summer and she hopes to have more of a presence in the community in the future.

“Our ladies enjoyed a wonderful Canada Day in City Park and our historic quilt display at the Christina Lake Homecoming was very well received,” she said. “Additionally, we are running a museum history program at the Christina Lake Welcome Centre where every Friday in July and August children ages 6-12 can learn about Aboriginal history and culture while spending time in the tipi and doing crafts.”

She said they also plan to have table at the Park in the Park car show, and the Grand Forks Fall Fair.

Solar powered The centre’s solar powered display building is up and running. The building is believed to be the first fully solar-powered building in the Boundary.

“We got the funding through the gas tax funding,” said Tatangelo. “We’re just waiting for the heat pump. We eventually want to put lighting up outside.”

He said the building is not currently hooked up to the “grid,” but Tatangelo hopes that eventually the building can be hooked up and the centre can actually sell power to FortisBC. Murray said the centre is still working on the building but when completed it will cover the centre 150 square metres of new exhibit space.

Three teams from Boundary Youth Soccer also came out and learned about invasive species, and removed ten huge garbage bags full of these weeds that were making their home around the Welcome Centre.

At the Biz After Biz meeting on July 16 at the new Neighbours Computers location, James Wilson, executive director of the Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce, presented Dave Bachmier, owner of Neighbours, with a certificate for having 60 per cent of his employees achieve a WorldHost ticket.

Your Dollar Store With More was also honoured for the same recognition.

“Big congratulations to these two businesss for achieving this recognition level of customer service,” said Wilson.

Wilson added that about 50 people attended the Biz After Biz and enjoyed a great networking opportunity. “We had guest speakers, some door prizes and had time for networking throughout the evening.”

Campfires allowed, situation will be monitored SOUTHEAST FIRE CENTRE to the Grand Forks Gazette

The Southeast Fire Centre has received many inquiries about whether a campfire ban will implemented.

The fire centre will not be issuing a campfire prohibition at this time, but staff will continue to evaluate the situation on a daily basis.

Sometimes it is necessary to implement campfire prohibitions to reduce the risk of wildfires. Multiple factors determine the timing of such a ban, including weather conditions, local fire activity and whether fire centre staff are encountering widespread non-compliance with campfire regulations.

The current situation does not warrant this preventative action, due to recent precipitation, the forecasted weather conditions and that fact that there have been no incidents in the Southeast Fire Centre this season where campfire misuse has resulted in a wildfire.

However, the open fire prohibition announced on July 2 will remain in place until the public is otherwise notified. Specifically, prohibited open burning activities include: • The burning of any waste, slash or other materials.

• Stubble or grass fires of any size over

any area.

• The use of fireworks, sky lanterns or burning barrels of any size or description.

Campfires must not be larger than a halfmetre wide by a half-metre tall. Anyone lighting a campfire must maintain a fireguard by removing flammable debris from around the campfire area and must have a hand tool or at least eight litres of water available nearby to properly extinguish the fire.

Campfires must not be lit or kept burning during windy conditions.

Make sure the fire is fully extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time. Remember that embers can reignite, especially in warm weather.

Careless campfire use can have costly repercussions. Anyone who leaves a campfire unattended for any length of time may be fined up to $345.

Anyone whose campfire causes a wildfire may also be subject to a penalty of $100,000 and one year in jail, and may be ordered to pay for costs associated with fighting the fire and any damages.

The Southeast Fire Centre would like to thank the public for reporting wildfires and for using campfires safely during this period of elevated fire danger.

IN BRIEF

The Southeast Fire Centre extends from the U.S. border in the south to the Mica Dam in the north and from the Okanagan Highlands and Monashee Mountains in the west to the B.C.-Alberta border in the east. This includes the Selkirk and Rocky Mountain resource districts.

The Southeast Fire Centre urges members of the public to always check the Wildfire Management Branch website (bcwildfire.ca), since fire prohibitions may change. Please also check with local municipalities that may have their own fire prohibitions in place.

For information on air quality, including smoke forecasts for Western Canada, visit the BC Air Quality website: bcairquality.ca/bluesky/west/index.html To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call 1-800-663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

For the latest information on current wildfire activity, burning restrictions, road closures and air quality advisories, go to: bcwildfire.ca You can also follow the latest wildfire news on: • Twitter at: http://twitter.com/BCGovFireInfo • Facebook at: http://facebook.com/BCForestFireInfo

Emergency Social Services (ESS) is a provincial emergency response program, which offers those services required to preserve the well-being of people affected by an emergency or disaster. ESS provides temporary relief to individuals and families so they can begin to plan their next steps to recover after a disaster.

ESS is typically available for up to 72 hours when an evacuation order is in place. ESS ends once the evacuation order has been rescinded. During these first 72 hours, evacuees should immediately plan their next steps by contacting their insurance agents, families and friends, or local non-profit agencies. The ESS Office may authorize an extension of ESS services, in exceptional circumstances, on a case by case basis.

ESS provides primary services such as food, lodging, clothing and family reunification. ESS may also provide specialized services such as emotional support services, first aid, child-minding, pet care, and transportation services.

In B.C., local authorities are responsible for planning and operating ESS. ESS teams assist people affected by disaster, usually at designated reception centres, which may be located at the local community centre, recreation centre, church, or school.

Grand Forks’ ESS is Jane Pring. Keep her contact information on hand: phone her at 250-442-0033 or 250-442-7892; email gad@telus.net.

IN BRIEF

FortisBC and BC Hydro Power Smart low-income programs

z Victoria Report

FortisBC and BC Hydro Power Smart offer two joint programs to help lowincome households in British Columbia to reduce their energy costs.

These programs are dedicated to helping those who need it most— eligibility is based on account verification and income qualifications.

The Energy Conservation and Assistance Program (ECAP) offers free energy assessments and energy saving products to customers on low-incomes. ECAP utilizes qualified contractors to help install upgrades ranging from $300 to $5,000 depending on the needs of the home.

The Energy Saving Kit Program consists of a free kit which provides customers on low incomes with a number of simple, easy-to-install, energy-saving products.

“We’re dedicated to helping all of our customers reduce their energy consumption,” said Tom Loski, vice president, Customer Service, FortisBC. Complete program details, product requirements, eligibility, terms and conditions, and application forms can be found at: bchydro.com/homerebates and fortisbc.com/homerebates.

One of B.C.’s oldest high schools turns 100, will host centenary

King George (KG) High School is 100 years old! One of the oldest high schools in the province, KG will be celebrating its centenary Oct. 3-4 this year with a number of very special events.

If you went to King George, plan now to come to the 100th celebration.

For information or to register, email: KingGeorge100th@gmail.com or call 604-713-8999 (the school), 604-697-0300 (Chris) or 604-681-9086 (Buon). Also check out the event on Facebook at facebook. com/KingGeorge100th.

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF GRAND FORKS Grand Forks, BC – The City of Grand Forks wants to advise the public that City electrical staff will be in neighbourhoods over the coming weeks changing out electricity meters for testing and replacing them with newer models.

Five hundred meters will be removed and tested this year. The new meters use the same Automated Meter Reading (AMR) technology as the existing models and must be tested every 10 years to prove accuracy and reliability through a federally regulated program, explains Roger Huston, Manager of Operations.

“We’ve recently had inquiries about the types of meters used for electricity and water metering within the City and some of the work going on and we want to clarify what’s happening,” he says.

Both electricity and water meters used in Grand Forks are AMR

LINDA LARSON MLA

Summer is here and throughout the riding there are many community events to enjoy. I will attend as many as possible over the coming months and want to thank all of you for your efforts to include me in your local celebrations.

The Legislature’s spring session was a busy one for all of us in Victoria. In addition to balancing the budget, more than two dozen pieces of legislation were debated and passed.

Some were minor housekeeping changes, some were complete rewrites of outdated legislation (liquor laws), and some were controversial (ALR Bill 24). As a government we can do nothing, keep our heads down and thereby not offend anyone—or we can work hard as we did and shoulder the responsibility.

My personal portfolios include chairing the Select Standing Committee on Health (formally chaired

by Kelowna’s Norm Letnick), member of the Cabinet Committee on Secure Tomorrow, Deputy Whip, and (my newest challenge) Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation for Accessibility (not going to fit on a business card). All MLAs have extra committees in addition to their constituency work.

In the past year many groups and organizations in the Boundary/ Similkameen have received grants through lotteries, BC Arts Council and other government programs.

These grants support the great vol-

unteer work you do in your communities. Please let my office know if you are working on projects so that we can direct you to the best source of financial assistance.

At the beginning of my time as your MLA I made a list of priorities for each community in the riding, a wish list of things needing government attention. After a year there has been progress on a number of them, though much slower than I would have hoped.

Lakehill Road in Kaleden will have their safety concerns for pedestrians addressed; the people of Hedley will be able to take ownership of the Hedley Cemetery and give it the care and respect the pioneers deserve; and the Rock Creek area will have fire protection options they’ve never had before.

Those are only a few of the local projects we have been working on this past year.

The process tends to be slower at the bureaucratic level as even the smallest change can have province wide implications as it may fix a problem in one area but can cause problems in other areas to surface.

Over the summer please safely enjoy our beautiful area. Drowning is an ever present danger, fire can be particularly devastating and highway traffic accidents too numerous as we all get out and active.

Of particular concern for the entire riding are the invasive quagga and zebra mussels. Stay vigilant, informed and help to protect our valuable water systems.

Thank you for your support and patience while we set up temporary office space. Personally I’d like to thank Colleen and Patt in the Oliver office and Marissa in Victoria for carrying on with a smile through it all.

CITY STAFF REMOVING AND TESTING ELECTRICAL METERS meters, not Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) or “smart meters”.

AMR meters are one-way communication devices that transmit a signal to a reading device. AMI meters, or “smart meters”, are two-way communication devices capable of far greater functionality than the standard AMR meters employed in Grand Forks. Huston says the City has no plans to deploy “smart meters” in the future.

Both AMR and AMI meters emit Radio Frequency (RF) energy; however, the AMR meter only transmits a signal whereas a smart meter both transmits and receives signals.

“All commercial, industrial, institutional and multi-family units in Grand Forks had AMR water meters installed in 2007. As part of the residential water meter program being introduced this year in Grand Forks, all meters will have AMR technology,” says Huston. “These

meters will transmit for no more than one minute per day or 0.05% of the time.”

The radio frequency emissions in both AMR and AMI meters are significantly lower than common everyday items that are considered safe: cell phones, two-way radios, Wi-Fi wireless routers, laptop computers, microwaves, cordless phones and baby monitors.

For more information on radio frequencies, please visit our website www.grandforks.ca, Health Canada’s website http://www.hc-sc. gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/radiation/radio_guide-lignes_direct/index-eng. php, or Industry Canada’s website http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst. nsf/en/sf08792.html.

Ronald McDonald House BC is growing. ®

Ball player honoured Jessica McDonald received a note of appreciation from Mayor Brian Taylor on behalf of son Isiah McDonald.

Isiah is currently playing baseball in Kamloops. He is one of 40 players selected for a Canadian team which will play games in the Dominican Republic.

Team members will also be distributing equipment to those in need while there.

The new Ronald McDonald House BC opens in June.

A home away from home for seriously ill children receiving treatment at BC Children’s Hospital, the new and bigger House has enough room to welcome 73 families every day, keeping 2,500 families per year together when it matters most.

Outdoor movies are coming to Grand Forks in August and you don’t have to worry about stuffing your friends in the trunk because it’s all free.

That’s right, all the fun of a drive-in movie without the risk of asphyxiation.

Starting on Friday, Aug.1, Movies in the Park will begin playing movies every Friday evening at City Park.

First up is the classic Michael J. Fox time travel movie Back to the Future. Come watch Fox as Marty McFly outwit the hapless Biff Tannen.

Organizer Cassie Foxley came up with the idea for Movies in the Park after seeing similar ideas in cities such as Spokane, Vancouver and Penticton.

“We’ve been trying to find things we can do for families,” she said. “Everyone has a bud-

get so we wanted to do something for free, which is tricky.”

The movies will go every week for 10 weeks, weather permitting, said Foxley. Anyone interested in more details can check out the Movies in the Park Facebook page.

Foxley said Movies in the Park is relying on help from the Boundary Country Regional

Take a walk on wild side with Grant Here at the library, we love books. No, seriously, we do.

For the past few months we’ve been putting up staff book reviews on our website—but now, in newsprint for the very first time, we’ll be sharing some of these with you.

But not until the end of this column. Not until I’ve shared some important messages with you all.

Where the Wild Things Are Now is a great time for camping and hiking! WildSafeBC’s Laurie Grant will be presenting a talk on “Wild Animals and Hiking Safey” at the library on Thursday, July 24 at 6:30 p.m.

Summer Reading Club And just a reminder: Fridays are drop-in days at our Summer Reading Club. No registration require—just bring your 6-12 year old(s) to the library for crafts, games, and lots of fun. You can either bring them to the 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. session, or the 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. session.

Your Next Great Read At long last, here are those staff book reviews I promised: Death Comes Quickly (Su-

san Wittig Albert): “A former lawyer turned herbalist finds herself involved in a 15-yearold murder case of an art collector. A great summer read on the porch swing after the yard work is completed!”

Missing You (Harlan Coben): “A plot-driven, technologically-fueled thrill ride which examines the trend of online dating, builds to a frightening conclusion, and creates a can’tput-down thriller. Be prepared to read this in one sitting.”

No Relation (Terry Fallis): “From the author of the CBC Canada Reads-winning The Best Laid Plan, this is yet another of his light and funny novels. It tells the story of Earnest Hemmingway, an aspiring writer who tries to fight through a bad case of writer’s block by following in the real Hemingway’s footsteps”

The Confabulist (Steven Galloway): “A great novel by a B.C. writer. Takes you behind the scenes at Houdini’s performances (with great explanations of how he performed his most famous tricks!), and into the depths of his tumultuous marriage.”

Delancey (Molly Wizenberg): “Love pizza? Ever dream of opening a restaurant? Then you’ll love reading about Molly Wizenberg’s adventures—one year in the life of transforming a derelict space into a hip and happening Seattle pizzeria.

Includes 12 delicious recipes, easy enough for the home cook.

Dig in!”

The Bend of the World (Jacob Bacharach): “Aliens, drugs, conspiracy theories, and occult rites—all against the backdrop of a corporate buyout and an unfaithful narrator. Funny at times, though with a few skippable sections.“ For more information on any of these programs, to read staff reviews, or to find books, DVDs, magazines and much more, visit our website at www. grandforks.bclibrary.ca.

pletely seriously.

“I’m a strong, independent woman, and I was really shocked at how I went to pieces afterwards. The thing that really bothered me was that he’d been following me, and I’d changed the circumstances by turning around. Before that, I’d been heading towards an underpass, and I was tormented with thoughts of what might have happened if I hadn’t changed direction.

What were his intentions? Would he have raped me?

“About a week later, my designated CID officer took me to the local school to see if I could identify the boy. By this time I was feeling terrible. I felt a huge responsibility to identify him because I was really worried about what he might do to someone else, or what he might have done previously. We didn’t spot the boy at the school, but afterwards we walked around town, and I saw him standing on his own.

I had been concerned that I wouldn’t recognize him, but when I spotted him I knew without a shadow of doubt who he was.

“The boy was interviewed, and immediately admitted what he’d done, but I still had lots of questions I needed answers to. I felt I really needed closure, because everything was done on his terms, and I never really had a say.

“Two or three months later, I got a letter out of the blue from Jodie, a restorative justice facilitator. It was a really nice, personal letter giving me some information about restorative justice and asking whether I’d be interested in talking further about it. I contacted Jodie, who came to meet me.

“In everything that had happened, none of it had been about my emotional reaction. The police were amazing, but it’s their job to deal in facts, not feelings. Jodie listened—many times—to how I felt, and what I’d gone through emotionally. For the first time, I was given a voice and a

chance to make decisions. I knew that restorative justice was the way forward.

“I wanted to ask the boy what his intentions had been, and I also wanted him to hear what he’d done to me. I still get very anxious whenever someone’s walking behind me. Even if it’s a woman, I have to stop and let them walk past me. I’m always checking over my shoulder.

“When I found out that he didn’t want to meet me, I was furious—it felt like he had power and control over me all over again. But Jodie was fantastic, and she suggested video recordings as an alternative. It was imperative to me that that boy listened to what I had to say, and how that happened wasn’t really important.

“Jodie gave me a lot of preparation before we recorded my video. I was able to choose not to film it in my house, because I didn’t want him to see where I live. Another issue was my anonymity. Because I’d been so wrapped up against the cold the day the offence happened, the boy had no idea what I looked like. By making the film, he would be able to see me, and Jodie took a long time counselling me about that. I’d actually seen him around town a couple of times already, and he didn’t recognise me at all. It was a horrible feeling— I had to walk past him, but he had no idea who I was or what he’d done to me. I was nobody to him.

“Although I had really wanted a face to face meeting, with hindsight I think the video idea was probably better. If we’d met face to face, I might have had difficulty picking the right words. Worse, I might have become emotional, and I was absolutely determined not to let him see any vulnerability. With a video, you can do as many takes as you need to get your message across. I knew some of my questions might be futile if he chose to answer • See PAULA’S STORY page A22

“There’s a slight variation between each category,” she said. “Figure is for big shoulders, nice defined back, and skinny waste.”

Witwicki is very appreciative of the coaching of Al Clark, who has been her coach since she started.

Her first show was in November 2011 at the Sandra Wickham Fall Classic in New Westminster where she placed sxith. A year later at the same show Witwicki placed first which qualified her for the provincial championship.

Witwicki plans to take another year off. Placing in the top three gives her two years in which she can compete at nationals again.

“I want to take a year to better my physique,” she said. “I’m not confirming this, but if I do (nationals) again I’ll do it in 2016.”

She admits that the dieting is the hardest part of competing and not something she enjoys.

“Everyone says they could compete,” she said. “Anyone can go to the gym for an hour or two a day but not everyone can do the diet. It’s hard. It’s really hard.

Sometimes you don’t get any carbs, you’re just eating chicken and a cup of green beans for your meal; four ounces.

National Drowning Prevention Week The Lifesaving Society of B.C. and Yukon has designated the third week in July as Drowning Prevention Week (NDPW) to focus community and media attention on the drowning problem and drowning prevention.

An estimated one million people drown every year.

Population projections mean that the problem is going to get worse, especially in developing countries.

Counting victims does not save lives or reduce drowning, but understanding the magnitude of the problem and identifying the risk factors does allow lifesaving organizations to provide effective prevention actions to the highest risk populations, locations and activities.

While the goal is to prevent drowning nation-wide, the Lifesaving Society focuses on priority target groups. The society uses its annual research to identify high-risk groups and to determine the most effective drowning strategies. Two key target groups are parents of children under five years of age and men 18-49 years.

The Water Smart® Campaign encourages individuals in high-risk target groups to exercise safe and responsible behavior in and around water

to prevent water-related injuries. To reach those who don’t take traditional swimming lessons, the Lifesaving Society promotes its Swim to Survive program that teaches the essential skills needed to survive an unexpected fall into deep water. The Grand Forks Aquatic Centre is offering the Swim to Survive program this summer during all our public swim times.

Once you have completed the survival skills, you can enter your name into the draw to win some fun prizes.

Time and time again, community action has proven to be an effective method for distributing Water Smart® messages directly to the public and ultimately changing behaviour.

The leaders of the Lifesaving Society in communities throughout Canada—lifeguards and instructors—are uniquely qualified to take an active role in reaching the public directly and in making their communities safer and water smart. Enroll your children in

swim lessons this summer and to take a positive roll in your family’s safety in and around the water.

Piranhas go to extreme “Luella Faulkner took 11 seconds off her best time in the 50M butterfly,” said Van Ek. “In prelims, Kohei Dunnet took two seconds off his 50M backstroke. He qualified for finals and swam the race again in the afternoon where he shave off two more seconds. He now aims to achieve a provincial qualifying time at regionals next week.”

Kiyomi Dunnet also swam a best time in the 50M backstroke.

“She out touched two other girls to finish first with a time of 37 seconds, a provincial qualifying time,” said Van Ek. “Raelyn Morgan swam an excellent 50M breaststroke final. She took off 2.5 seconds to achieve a time of 44 seconds. Dayton Bryan swam a two second best time in the 100M breaststroke final. Robbie Wark raced the 100M freestyle in prelims, taking off eight seconds. In the finals, he swam again and took off another four seconds.”

It was a definitely an “extreme” week for the Grand Forks Piranhas Swim Club.

The swimmers put in four days of intense, physically challenging training for extreme week and then on the weekend took second at the Castlegar swim meet.

“Although everyone was exhausted, we had a lot of best times for the weekend,” said coach Robyn Van Ek. “Extreme week went really well. We worked them really hard. We hiked Observation Mountain. The senior group (ages 11 and up) ran up to Valley Heights from the bottom three times. It was pretty grueling. The senior group swam between three and four kilometres each practice.”

In all, 30 Piranhas participated in Castlegar after competing in extreme week.

At Castlegar, Grand Forks finished second out of seven teams competing with 452 points.

Shian Corbeil continued to dominate, said Van Ek. She earned another meet record in the 50M butterfly.

Local author pens Thunder Valley LORRAINE GORDON

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Don’t you just love a good read? One with a heroine who suffers unfairly, but rises above her situation and conquers her tormentor? Well, this is the perfect summer beach read. Thunder Valley has everything you can dream of—historical setting, beautiful people, gripping plot, and lots of excitement. Its author is Grand Forks’ own Helen ArmstrongDurham.

Thunder Valley is a dramatic tale that

unfolds in the wilds of southern Alberta, Canada, in the early 1900s. It is an era of unforgiving hardship and challenges, where people join forces to build a new life or to escape an old one.

Esther McLaughlin marries for love and lives to regret it. Sam Morgan is a shrewd and handsome charmer who dances Esther off her feet and into a marriage marked by misery, abuse, and tragedy. Women in 1911 did not have the rights and freedoms we enjoy today.

They were literally at the mercy of the good will and financial support of their husbands.

What makes Thunder Valley so great is the inner strength

Kevin Derhousoff

that Esther develops, which her husband cannot touch.

When Sam cuts her off financially after her father thwarts his greedy grab for Esther’s savings, she decides that she will earn her own money through her talents as a seamstress.

This is just the beginning of Esther Morgan’s development into a capable businesswoman, at a time when such actions were not the norm. If you’re like me, you will be cheering Esther on with each flip of the page. Let’s hear it for a strong-willed woman!

Thunder Valley is sold at Pharmasave drugstore in Grand Forks. It is also available on Amazon Kindle as an e-book.

It is with deep regret and profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Kevin Wayne Derhousoff after losing his short battle with cancer.

Kevin was born to parents Fred and Lee Derhousoff at Grand Forks, B.C. He died July 3, 2014 with the love of his life, Josephine, and his mom and dad by his side.

Kevin loved life to the fullest and had a wicked sense of humour. He also had a deep love for his children Kristopher and Amanda.

He is survived by his children Kris and Amanda, his mother Lee and father Fred, and sister Kelsey (Larry) Davidoff as well as Josephine, her children and his adopted grandparents Lou and Jim Plain, many aunts, uncles, cousins and great friends.

Kevin will always be missed, loved, cherished and will never be forgotten.

In lieu of flowers a donation to the Cancer Society is Kevin’s name would be appreciated.

John Charles Jepsen 1939 - 2014 The family of John Jepsen announce his passing July 15, 2014, after a long fought battle with cancer.

John was born in Brighton, Sussex, England and began his early schooling in Hayward Heath, Sussex. After the war the family moved to Canada, sailing on the Queen Mary. They arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia in June of 1946 and travelled by train across Canada to reside in Nelson, B C. John was predeceased by his parents and son Norman (Laurie). Left with cherished memories are his extended family: twin brother: Tom (Trish and family), wife: Joan, sons from his first marriage to Iris Muirhead: Brian (Karien) & Bruce (Katie), Joan’s children: Julie (Venna), Cherie (Kevin), and John.

His grandchildren: Justin (Tasha), Cam, Lindsey, Jeff (Susan), Courtney (Brad), Ben (Shayna), Bethany (Tyler), Sam, Marissa, and Spencer. His precious Great Grandchildren: Brooke, Grace, Jack, Ellie, Adelyn, Willson, and Sebastian. His furry best friend, little Kobe.

A special thank you goes out to the Tseshaht First Nation for all their caring words, support and thoughtfulness throughout this journey. Kleco Kleco to you all.

Also, a big thank you to special friends and relatives who were there to lend a hand, give encouragement and compassion, along with their prayers.

To the terrific staff and volunteers at Ty Watson Hospice House, you are all so special and you truly create a family oriented atmosphere for every one, residents and guests.

A “Celebration of Life” to be held at Yates Funeral Chapel, July 25, 2014, at 1:30 pm. Reception to follow .

No flowers by request. Donations may be made in John’s memory to Ty Watson Hospice or a Charity of your choice.

Paula’s story untruthfully, but I told him how upset and traumatised I was by what he’d done. It was so liberating just to have a voice, and to know he’d have to listen to what I was saying.

“Two weeks later, he made his film for me. I wanted to watch it but dreaded watching it at the same time. In my mind, he was a big chap—and he is a lot taller and broader than me—but in the video, he was just this pathetic little person.

That was really amazing, because all his power over me suddenly dissolved. He was extremely uncomfortable and agitated throughout the video. He was very evasive, and didn’t answer my questions, but it made me realise he was nothing to be afraid of – it humanised him.

“I felt like a weight had been lifted off me, and that wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t been offered restorative justice. I know some

Continued from page A18

people don’t think it should be used in cases of sexually harmful behaviour, but I think it should be up to the victim to make that choice, or their power to make decisions is being taken away, again. It wouldn’t suit everyone, but the only person who can legitimately make that decision is the victim.

“I’m still in touch with Jodie, and I’m about to start volunteering as a community panel member. For me, restorative justice has been incredibly empowering. I’ve regained control by turning a negative, frightening experience into a positive, life-changing one. I’ll always be grateful for that.”

Richard Tarnoff is coordinator of the Boundary Restorative Justice Program.

We are grateful to Paula for sharing her story and to The Restorative Justice Council, UK for making it available.

Rock Candy sparkles for visitors Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce recently hosted a Rock Candy Mine tour evening July 14. Big Rock Candy Mountain offers nature tours of the site, which Cominco’s Rock Candy Mine operated in the 1920s. Those on tour are not only allowed, but actually encouraged to collect sparkling quartz crystal geodes, fluorite in green and purple, and beautiful barite.

To “be a tourist in your own town” or recommend the tour to visitors, contact the Grand Forks Visitor Centre for information and reservations.
