City receives prestigious award at UBCM It’s official—Grand Forks is open for business. The City of Grand Forks was awarded the prestigious and sought after Open for Business Award at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities annual conference in Whistler. The announcement was made Wednesday afternoon to delegates at the conference. Grand Forks was one of only nine other B.C municipalities honoured with the B.C. Small Business Roundtable’s Open for Business Award. The award recognizes local policies, projects and programs that support small business. Evaluations were based on local measures that make it easier to do business in the community. Mayor Brian Taylor said he was thrilled the community won the award. “Recognition as one of the most business friendly communities in B.C. is truly the best reward for all the hard work that council and staff have done to make the city an attractive place to do business,” Mayor Brian Taylor said. As an incentive to promote an open-forbusiness culture, the BC Small Business Roundtable provides $10,000 to each winning community to fund local, small business friendly programs that align with the principles of the B.C. Small Business Accord. “Part of the application process included an outline of what the city would use $10,000 towards and council decided that developing a long-term economic development action plan would be essential for moving forward in a way that would benefit the community most,” said Chief Administrative Officer Doug Allin. The local chamber of commerce was also thrilled to learn of this important award. “This is fantastic news for Grand Forks, and • See CITY AWARD page A8

This year’s Harvest Festival held at the Boundary Museum was full of live local music, storytelling, entertaining games, local and organic food, historic displays, interesting demonstrations, and people with smiles clearly enjoying themselves. Pictured is Johnny Bak, who made a lot of apple juice for people to drink at the Spencer Hill Orchard stand. The apple juice was absolutely delicious, by the way! The festival had a wide variety of people and ages and the new location was perfect. The weather couldn’t have been better as summer made a ﬁnal appearance at the beginning of the cool days of Autumn. See page 14 for more photos. Megan Kienas photos

Paving nears end

As welcome as the paving of 68th Avenue is, the work has been disruptive—but that’s about to change as the project nears its end. Upgrades to sewer services and drainage are almost complete, announced Roger Huston, maManager of Ooperations for the City of Grand Forks. “This busy bypass to our downtown will also provide a smoother ride, with pot holes and cracks a thing of the past,” she said. “Repaving is due to be finished in October, before the asphalt plants close for the winter. “We’re delighted to see this work almost done,” said Gerry Foster, a regular 68th Avenue commuter. “It’ll make it so much easier for travel, especially as this is one of the main routes in town.” The upgrades to 68th Avenue are just one of many improvements to the city’s infrastructure (roads, drainage, sewer and water lines) identified in the city’s Asset Management Plan. The plan, developed with extensive input from the community back in 2011, provides a road map for what needs to be upgraded and when, in order to maximize the investment of resources and tax dollars. The community also supported the plan financially, with 73 per cent approval in a referendum to borrow up to $4.2 million when and as needed to get the work done. “Similar to your own home, you know you’ll need to save or borrow to maintain your house as it ages, like repairing a leaky roof or replacing old carpets. In the case of the city, since the improvements are many and can cost millions to fix, it’s important to identify what critical services need to be fixed or replaced and when,” said Mayor Brian Taylor. “That’s why we have an Asset Management Plan to ensure we’re prepared well in advance, not only for getting the work done, but also for how we will pay for it.” The repairs and repaving of 68th Avenue were identified in the plan, and more recently by feedback from area residents, as a priority. “This busy corridor handles much of the traffic that flows into our downtown core,” Taylor added. “We appreciate our community’s support and patience during construction, especially since these projects to excavate and repave can only be done during the warmer months when traffic is often heavier than winter.” Other projects in the plan include replacing the Fifth Street water line and a new well for the west side, scheduled for 2015. “This will ensure a reliable supply of water for domestic use as well as fire protection,” Huston said. “These upgrades will also reduce the need, and the costs, to build a new water reservoir.

Fred and Jane Marshall have been recognized for their commitment to stewardship and innovative marketing practices in woodlot management, and honour that comes with a $2,500 award from Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. The Midway pair was formally recognized at the 2014 Federation of B.C. Woodlot Associations Annual Conference in Golden on Sept. 20. “Rural regions such as Boundary benefit from the Woodlot Licence program. Woodlots bring benefits such as job-creation, sustainable forest management and stewardship of the forests that licensees manage,” BoundarySimilkameen MLA Linda Larson said. “Congratulations, Jane and Fred, for receiving this well-deserved award.” “We were pleasantly surprised,” said Marshall when reached by phone on Monday afternoon. “It is a very humbling honour and one that we very much appreciate.” As well as being a woodlot owner, Fred is also a consultant and educator under the name Marshall Forestry Services. The couple have been licencees for the past two decades, and raised a family of five children on their woodlot near Midway. Fred holds a master’s degree in forestry from Yale, has taught at both Malaspina and Selkirk Colleges and has developed four university-level courses accredited by the ABCFP. He was one of the “founding fathers” of both the Federation of B.C. Woodlot Associations and the Wood Product Development Council (WPDC). He has also served as federation president and was president of the Boundary Woodlot Association more than 22 years. He continues to be involved with woodlots throughout B.C., in policy development, day-to-day affairs, and sharing ideas. The Marshall’s woodlot consists of 600 hectares of Crown land and nearly 400 hectares of private land—one of B.C.’s largest private land contributions. But the work done by Fred and Jane is, and always will be part of something larger than just 1,000 hectares of land. Jane provided the following words: “Here is what governs our lives: “At the beginning of time (at the end of the first Biblical chapter of Genesis) our Creator gave us a mandate. This is known as the ‘cultural mandate’. The mandate was, and continues to be, to care for creation. “We, in all that we do, strive to carry out

Fred and Jane Marshall stand in their front yard surrounded by their ranch and woodlot near Midway.

this mandate as far as it is possibly with us. There is, on this earth, burdened by sin, always room for improvement in our management of course. Our aim, however, is to manage in a way honouring to our Creator and we work towards this end. “We have chosen to be very cautious in determining the projected annual growth of trees so that our annual allowable cut is on the low side. We have chosen to cut very little on our private land so that we can be an island of beautiful protected forest in the midst of an area where there has been much overcutting. “As the earth responds to the greenhouse gases, so rapidly and in an increasingly accelerating fashion being released into the atmosphere by the fossil fuel extraction and transportation industry, healthy forests become unhealthy more quickly and amelioration is sorely needed. We hope our woodlot will be one small positive absorber of CO2.” Fred added, “It is very appropriate that my wife of more than 30 years shares this award with me as she has been an active participant and/or strong supporter. Without her help the many activities we’ve been and continue to be involved in would not have been near as numerous or as effective; and we have always held the woodlot licence jointly so it has always been and continues to be a team effort.”

That’s commitment

Fred and Jane Marshall, a couple wellknown throughout the Boundary, have been recognized for their commitment to stewardship and innovative marketing practices in woodlot management. Fred humbly said they were pleasantly surprised, but they shouldn’t have been— they are so very deserving of the award. The Marshall’s woodlot consists of 600 hectares of Crown land and nearly 400 hectares of private land—one of B.C.’s largest private land contributions. But the work they do is and always will be part of something larger than just 1,000 hectares of land. They have always been cautious in determining the projected annual growth of trees so that their annual allowable cut is on the low side. Their aim is to manage in a way honouring the Creator and they work towards this end, Jane says. She explained: “As the earth responds to the greenhouse gases, so rapidly and in an increasingly accelerating fashion being released into the atmosphere by the fossil fuel extraction and transportation industry, healthy forests become unhealthy more quickly and amelioration is sorely needed. We hope our woodlot will be one small positive absorber of CO2.” It’s very appropriate that they share the award, Fred says. Together they’ve worked A LITTLE very hard. PERSPECTIVE The rest of us can certainly share in congratulations to two very deserving woodlot owners.

I know for a fact that I lost a vote or two on my very first evening of door knocking. Maybe this tale will be useful. I had a campaign flyer. It had only two promises: I will make mistakes; and I will do everything I can to fix those mistakes as soon as possible. It took me no time at all to fulfill my first promise. I was working day shift and I was out knocking on doors after dark. I can’t remember exactly how many houses I’d tried that night before I came

across the place where they ran me off the property. It was fully dark by now. I saw the lights were on in the house, and when I got to the porch I could hear the television in the living room. I didn’t get any response when I knocked the first time, so I knocked again. That’s when I heard a gruff and husky voice coming from the other side of the door. All the guy said was, “If you know what’s good for ya!” I left the porch and the property without delay. I didn’t bother to leave one of my campaign flyers either. Door-to-door campaigning lesson number two came just a few doors later. A sweet little old lady answered the door and after I explained why I was there, she said I should come inside so I could talk to her husband. So I did the nice Canadian

thing. I took off my shoes at the door and hustled down the hallway in the direction she’d disappeared; only to come into the living room where the woman was bending over the couch, waking her sleeping husband from his nap. He listened briefly to her explanation of why I was standing in their living room and then he generously gave me some voter feedback. “Well you can just keep on running too,” he said. My second mistake at this place was in leaving a flyer—so he knew my name and I’m pretty sure I didn’t get his vote. With these adventures behind me, my after dark doorto-door campaigning ended. They say that identifying your voter support has a lot to do with knowing their preferences. It took some time but I finally got some insightful voter demographic information on that first house. I found out

While we played cribbage the kids were watching a video in the next room. Home Alone was in the VCR—the movie where the little kid is left “home alone” and has to thwart the evil plans of a couple of bumbling burglars. There is one scene where the bad guys are right outside the front door and the kid has this voice recorder toy. The cool thing about the toy is the switch that lets you choose what type of voice it plays back at.

Dealing with diesel Noise bylaw changes not good particulates Letters

to the editor

Editor, The Gazette: (Re: Noise bylaw allows 24/7 operations, Grand Forks Gazette, Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2014) Thank you Councillor Neil Krog for voting against bylaw amendment No. 1963 A-1. Grand Forks has become quite a noisy city. When I first moved here in 2000 I was amazed at how quiet the city was, even when living fairly close to Central Ave. I moved away for five months in 2005, for work, and when I returned I found the city had sold prime real-estate along the riverfront for a super-mill right downtown. I foresaw the consequences—added noise, traffic and pollution, the closure of the Midway mill and eventually the Grand Forks mill. When I consulted politicians and planners from other communities, I was told that allowing industry right in the centre of a community was, to put it mildly, bad planning. I was so disgusted with the city that I ran for council.

This gave me an opportunity to speak out on the issue. (Thankfully I didn’t win a seat—politics really isn’t my cup of tea.) The sound of the city definitely changed that summer of 2005. In addition, City Park lost its ambiance. The backdrop behind the stage (concrete slab) for Music in the Park was no longer a row of happy houses along the other side of the river—but instead, industry—and noise competing with the music. When I hear there is to be a change in the noise bylaw I cringe. Just open your windows at night and listen. Imagine living in Ruckle or near downtown with that sound ALL night. Sleep deprivation is bad for your health—so keep your windows shut. I chose to live in Christina Lake away from industry and instead just suffer traffic noise. Rosemary Phillips, Christina Lake

Editor, The Gazette: World views are foundational to how we make decisions, for they determine how we formulate our beliefs, and hence our behaviour. This can be directly applied to how we view our local “water meter initiative”—see the pair of letters to the editor in the Sept. 24 edition of the Gazette (page A5). People with two conflicting world views can examine the very same evidence and reach two very different conclusions. The classic example of this is in determining our origin— evolutionists and creationists view identical evidence (i.e. the geologic column of fossils) and yet interpret it completely differently, one believing in uniformitarian processes lasting billions of years, and the other believing in the catastrophism of a global flood several thousand years ago. So it is with our own flood of emotions over the water meter issue, with time indeed being the determining factor as to how all of this plays out in people’s lives. Scientists are unable to verify that WiFi-based devices are truly safe. Yet thousands of peerreviewed studies demonstrate that RF (radio

frequency) radiation has an adverse impact upon people. Symptoms range from brain cancer, to infertility in youth, to impaired fetal development, to heart issues in those who have pacemakers, to dramatic increases in autism spectrum disorders, just to name a few. History repeats itself when we fail learn from it. It has taken us 40+ years to stem the tobacco epidemic, and now we are about to find ourselves subjected to the electronic version of chain-smoking with the cumulative effects of smart water meter emissions (every 14 seconds day and night) being the culprit. In 10 to 20 years the benefit of hindsight will reveal the truth about WiFi. In the meantime let’s exercise wisdom in choosing our mayor and councillors on election day—Nov. 15. Being a “friendly, hospitable, and mannerly community” does not mean having to “embrace the water meter initiative” if it means taking it up the proverbial tailpipe. Please determine what your world view really is and then vote according to both your head and your heart. Tom Tripp, Grand Forks

Common sense should tell us that the air around busy streets and highways contains unhealthy particulates and that our exposure time should be kept as short as possible, particularly if we walk, run, ride a bicycle or sit on a street-side patio. A pair of human lungs can handle a lot, but eventually there is a time when they send a strong message that it’s Rousing time to take better care of them. That the Rabble time may come too late. ROY RONAGHAN The B.C. Lung Association State of the Air Report for 2014 that appeared in locations around the region in June provides an overview of air quality across the province with a focus on one of the main causes of air pollution on roads, off roads and in workplaces. The report is a poignant reminder of the need to pay attention to the quality of the air in our towns and cities and the need to become better informed about what it contains and its affect on respiratory health. “This year’s State of the Air Report puts the focus on one of the main causes of air pollution in our province diesel particulate matter (DPM). Recently classified as a human carcinogen by the World health organization DPM has been linked to various diseases including lung cancer, heart disease, asthma, and chronic obstructive lung disease.” Ultra-fine particulates are most worrisome because they are so small that they can cross into the bloodstream from the lungs and a deep breath of air can contain tens of millions of particles per lung volume. Several factors influence levels of air pollution: the proximity to busy roadways, traffic volume, industrial operations, prevailing weather patterns, wind speed and direction, the time of day, the day of the week, and the season. How polluted is the air in communities located along Highway 3 from Hope to the Alberta border? The question is difficult to answer, given the multitude of factors that must be considered, but where there is traffic there is pollution. Residents in all Kootenay-Boundary communities served by the highway are definitely affected by particulate pollution, some more than others, depending on where the highway runs and the prevailing weather patterns. Where there are winds the particulates can be dispersed rather quickly. Where there is little air movement they linger and drift up to a couple hundred meters (650 feet) on either side of the road. Residents with houses next to the highway should take special precautions. Diesel exhaust is a complex mix of gases and particulates and can severely affect human health. As the report from B.C. Lung Association states, “We can’t ignore the effects of DPM on air quality and human health.” Diesel engines built prior to 2007 are the worst polluters. They emit much higher levels of particulates than newer models unless they have been refitted with emission controls. Dealing effectively with vehicle exhaust emissions is difficult at street level but that does not mean that the problem should be ignored. Taking a casual approach is not a good option. People who routinely run along Highway 3 as part of their fitness routine can select less-travelled routes. Homeowners who live adjacent to the highway can make efforts to ensure the air that enters their dwellings is as clean as possible. Cyclists can avoid highway riding during heavy traffic times. Coffee shop and restaurant patrons can avoid sitting on street-side patios. Owners of diesel-powered vehicles of any kind can ensure that their vehicles are equipped with the latest emissions controls. The National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in the United States began a Dump Dirty Diesel Campaign some 20 years ago and has had good success with it. The time has come to launch a similar campaign in B.C. and Canada. Our lungs will be happier for us doing so.

Letters

to the editor

Did you know?

Ask installer for certification

Editor, The Gazette: Facts for people to consider. BC Plumbing Code requirements for persons performing plumbing work in B.C: (Quoted from Page 6 at: www.bccodes.ca/ BCPC_Update_04.03.13.pdf¸* ) 1.2.3. Installation 1.2.3.1. Personnel Performing Plumbing Work... 1) Personnel performing the installation, extension, alteration, renewal or repair of a plumbing system shall a) possess a Canadian tradesman’s qualification certification as a plumber, b) be an indentured apprentice supervised by a journeyman who meets the criteria set out in Clause (a), or c) be the registered owner and occupant or intended occupant of the single family dwelling in which the plumbing work will occur. Grand Forks Water Regulations Bylaw No. 1973: 10.5 Every Water Meter shall be installed by a certified plumber or qualified contractor retained by the Owner of the parcel and approved by the Manager of Operations.

Neptune’s contract, section 3.2 states: “The Contractor shall employ a competent Superintendent acceptable to the City Representative and ensure that such Superintendent is in attendance at each work site at all times during the progress of the work and shall not change the Superintendent except for good reason and then only after consultation with the City Representative.” If you have had a water meter installed by someone who isn’t a journeyman plumber or who isn’t an indentured apprentice supervised by a journeyman plumber, you can fill in the application form at the link below to have it appealed: www.housing.gov.bc.ca/bcab/search. htm. “Housing Authority” would be the city and/ or company that required you to do so. “Appellant” would be you (the homeowner) I would encourage people to ask to see the TQ ticket and phone in the number for verification before proceeding. A certified water meter installer is not a recognized certification in B.C. according to the plumbing code. Julia Butler, Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette: There seems to be some misunderstanding or misinformation being spread about the water meters being installed in Grand Forks. Here are the hard facts, validated by the website references published by the city itself: 1) The RF (radio frequency) meter currently being installed in Grand Forks by Neptune is the model R900i. (“...is the preference of the city for installation. The R900i E-coder equipment ...) www.grandforks.ca/waterconservation/watermeter-information/. 2) A previous letter to the editor claimed that the meter only transmits when it is being read by the city. This is not true. This meter continually transmits a powerful burst every

14 seconds, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. (“...The R900MIU is a ... communication device that transmits data every 14 seconds...”) www. grandforks.ca/wp-content/uploads/E-CoderR900i.pdf. These are the facts. Grand Forks residents are entitled to know the truth about these meters. Transmitting high power RF signals continually is ridiculously excessive, dangerous, and now antiquated technology; these meters pose a potential health risk to one and all. This meter was an extremely poor choice for city council to have made. Don Lea, Grand Forks,

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF GRAND FORKS

The City of Grand Forks is

OPEN FOR BUSINESS

The City of Grand Forks and Marksman Industries Inc. are pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached for Marksman to purchase an approximate 4.32 Acre portion of Lot 1, Plan 18181, DL 534 at the Grand Forks Municipal Airport. The airport lot is one of many City owned properties that were included in the Land Development Showcase project which is geared to increase the tax base and encourage investment in the community. The Land Development Showcase is part of the City’s plan to leverage its assets and was presented to the community in June. The City intends to take the program on the road this fall in the hopes of sparking interest from outside investors. Marksman Industries is in the preliminary planning stages and is researching the feasibility of the agreement and plans to move forward with an Aerospace Maintenance and Manufacturing Facility. Phase I of construction is slated to begin in the spring and could mean up to 20 jobs in the area once fully operational. Many of these jobs will be skilled labor, made up of highly trained Aircraft Maintenance Engineers, Trade Technicians and support staff. “This sort of investment in the community is exactly what Council has been working towards and we are extremely fortunate that Marksman Industries has considered doing business in Grand Forks. When we talk about investing in the community, it really is a best case scenario when job creation and attracting new families to the community are included in the equation”, said Mayor Brian Taylor.

For the Grand Forks Gazette

Green bins are coming to Area D. The existing environmental green-bin program of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) will be expanding its curbside pickup services in rural Grand Forks starting Nov. 1. The Organics Diversion Program will be added to the existing blue bag recycling curbside pick-up. Residents will be able to place their kitchen scraps including plant and animal products and waste into the green bin. There will be no additional costs to the taxpayers. Tim Dueck, solid waste management coordinator of the RDKB, confirmed, “The cost for this service is regarded as a universal RDKB service and is included in general taxation.” The new program is not expanding to include new waste products, but is only expanding its area scope into the rural area of Grand Forks at this time. Households will be able to continue to compost what has been composted in other areas

of Grand Forks. The Organics Diverse Program does not refer to being pesticide-free—it only means plant and animal waste only. Area D is an area halfway between Grand Forks and Christina Lake to the east and halfway between Grand Forks and Greenwood to the west; however, nNot all of the area will receive collection services, such as residents living on the Granby Road /Snowball ATC, and north of Hummingbird Bridge/Brown Creek area. “Residents who received curbside collection services of recycling from the RDKB/Kettle Valley Waste will now be receiving green bin/kitchen organics collection as well as recycling and garbage,” Dueck said. Distribution of the bins will start in early October and detailed information will be provided at that time. The truck is expected to come around every week and week one, will collect the green bin material and garbage; week two it will collect green bin material and recycling.

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF GRAND FORKS

Grand Forks Universal Water Meter Program The City of Grand Forks would like to thank residents for participating in the Universal Water Meter Program. During the first month of the program the contractor, Neptune, has installed just over 300 water meters throughout the community. We continue to encourage residents to participate in the Universal Water Meter Program and book an appointment for installation as soon as possible. More information on the Universal Water Meter program can be found at www.grandforks.ca “The gentlemen came in and was very nice. He did an excellent job finishing around the meter once he installed it. It looks tidy and I’m very happy with the results and how easy the process was. He was in and out in no time!” – Frances Davidoff “Once I received the notice in the mail, I called and scheduled an appointment – it was very easy. When the company came to install the meter they were on time and took just one hour. They replaced the grass outside the house and installed a new indoor shut off. The installers were very nice and courteous and I was very happy!” – Kay McCaffery

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS UNIVERSAL WATER METER PROGRAM

The City of Grand Forks is providing this information in response to resident questions. WHAT IS THE UNIVERSAL WATER METER PROGRAM? Council made the decision in 1999, to proceed with a water meter installation program and in November 2013, approved a plan to expand the city’s existing water meter program to residential customers. The Water Meter Installation Program was approved as part of the 2014 Capital Budget and installations began on September 3, 2014. Residents have been informed of the program via the website, open houses, the Grand Forks Gazette, Council meeting minutes, flyers in utility bills and in information kits delivered to homes. The City of Grand Forks is working with Neptune Technology Group. Neptune Technology Group serves over 150 clients in British Columbia, including the City of Richmond, West Vancouver, Kamloops, Gibsons, Oliver, Summerland and the Lakeview Irrigation District. In addition, The Vancouver Airport Authority uses Neptune’s Radio Frequency technology, as do other airports and many hospitals across Canada.

WHY IS THE CITY OF GRAND FORKS IMPLEMENTING A UNIVERSAL WATER METER INSTALLATION PROGRAM? In recent years, the City of Grand Forks has experienced drastically low levels in its water reservoirs during peak season (May-September). This has placed significant strain upon the city’s current water infrastructure. Currently, residential customers may use as much water as they like, despite limited water resources and the need to conserve is now. The City is undertaking multiple efforts towards water conservation, in order to move towards a fair and equitable system were initiated and the City has decided to implement a water metering program per the recommendations of the Kettle River Watershed Management Plan and the City’s Sustainable Community Plan. Across Canada, well over half of municipal water is used by the residential sector. Environment Canada studies have shown that accurate meters result in reductions of water use during peak season by up to 40%. In Grand Forks, all of the drinking water (or water for household and landscape use) comes from groundwater sources and like many communities in southern BC, we face drought and water supply issues during the hot summer months. On top of this, energy costs for pumping water during peak season continues to rise. Our water infrastructure (i.e. the system that treats and delivers clean water to our homes AND removes waste water) will need tens of millions of dollars in avoidable upgrades if demand in the City continues to rise without taking the critical steps to reduce and better manage our precious water resources. With the installation of water meters throughout the City, homeowners will have the ability to better manage how much water they use; thus allowing them to conserve and save this precious resource.

WHY WATER METERS? WHY NOT FOCUS ON TACKLING THE CITY’S EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE? A complete overhaul of the City’s current water infrastructure could cost the municipality and its taxpayers upwards of tens of millions of dollars in unforeseen costs and years of construction. Further, a retrofit of the existing infrastructure will not address the City’s substantial issues related to over-consumption of water. Conversely, the City is funding the Water Meter Installation Program using $1.3 Million of existing revenue. This money was gathered and saved from its Gas Tax Funding, and water meters will allow the municipal utility to effectively track water consumption throughout the City. Water meters allow the City to accurately compare how much water was used vs. how much water was pumped into the community. By utilizing the meters leak detection capabilities in each home and then advising homeowners of these leaks (i.e. from dripping taps or running toilets), the City is able to curb significant water loss from aged plumbing, in addition to helping homeowners recognize problems with their plumbing systems. By using water meters to identify, track and fix existing leaks, the City will then be able to make calculated (and thus, more cost effective) upgrades to the

existing municipal water system. Up to 30% of municipal water loss stems from leaking pipes, dripping faucets and running toilets. Environment Canada notes that for every $1.00 spent on leak detection programs, up to $3.00 can be saved for investment in future projects.

ARE THE WATER METERS SAFE? • Neptune’s water meter technology is used in hospitals across Canada and Health Canada has concluded that exposure to RF energy from these meters does not pose a health risk. As Neptune’s Radio Frequency meters are used in hospitals, homeowners can rest assured that the low frequency of the water meters poses no threat to any medical devices. • Health Canada notes that the radio frequency of water meters is “far below the human exposure limits specified in Health Canada’s Safety Code 6… and does not pose a public health risk.” http://www.hc-sc. gc.ca/hl-vs/iyh-vsv/prod/meters-compteurs-eng.php • Neptune’s water meters run on a small lithium battery and are not connected to any electrical power. There are no electrical connections and there is no connection to the power grid. • It is important to note that this is not the same technology being recently reported in the media in Saskatchewan. Neptune’s water meters are not smart meters - they are Automatic Meter Reading systems (AMR). • This technology uses the same broadband technology as the AM radio. The megahertz used by these water meters is 900 MHz - not high enough to be in the licensed radio band frequency. The average microwave operates on 2,450 MHz. • Other common conveniences that operate in this low range are baby monitors, remote car keys, garage door openers, TV broadcasts and radio-controlled toys. • Consider that Neptune’s water meters are only powerful enough to send a signal from your basement to a handheld radio receiver that can be used from streets in the neighbourhood. They are like remote car key: You have to be close enough to the car to send the signal. • Cell phones operate at approximately 1,000 MHz or more: much higher than AMR water meters. Cell phones need more power to reach long distances to send and receive signals to cell towers.

BENEFITS OF THE UNIVERSAL WATER METER PROGRAM • The City may be eligible for infrastructure grant money by undertaking this project. • This project will defer the need to spend millions of dollars in the future to upgrade the City’s current water infrastructure. • Water meters provide billing equity and increased ability for accuracy in future billing. • The municipal water and sewer department gets a break on the amount of water it pumps to our homes and businesses. It also minimizes the amount of wastewater it treats in sewage treatment plants. • Water conservation through metering can extend the useful life of the municipal water supply and treatment plants. This benefits the system’s operating efficiency; thus saving taxpayers money in the long run. • The project encourages participation in good water conservation practices and province-wide sustainability programs aimed at increased water efficiency throughout British Columbian cities. • Less water waste comes with awareness and measured use • Water meters ensure faster detection of leaks and other problems such a reverse flows. • Staff time is freed by making meter reading faster and more efficient.

WHAT ABOUT THE CITY’S BIGGEST WATER CONSUMERS? ARE THEY METERED? Every industrial, commercial and institutional building in the City of Grand Forks has had a water meter for almost ten years. This means that the city’s factories, schools, hospitals, public buildings and almost all

multi-family properties have been metered for some time. All of these facilities have used Neptune’s Radio Frequency water meters for nearly a decade. The City recognized the significance of monitoring and metering those buildings which consume higher volumes of water and those meters have proved instrumental in conserving and managing water use.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR INSTALLATION AND MONITORING? • Neptune began contacting homeowners in August, 2014 and installation of the meters started on September 3, 2014. Approximately 300 have been installed so far. • Prior to installation, you are invited to discuss this program with a City or Neptune representative who will listen to your questions and provide you with accurate and factual information • Here is the 5-step process: 1. Residents receive an informational booklet from Neptune Technology Group. 2. Residents book an appointment for installation by contacting Neptune or the City, or by booking online at www.grandforks.ca. 3. A Certified Water Meter Installer will come to the house and shut off the water. The water will be off for approximately one hour. Water Meter installers will always have proper Neptune uniforms, identification and decals on their vehicles. Once the installation of the meter is complete, a check is carried out for leaks. 4. The installer will answer questions and explain how the meter works. 5. A 24-hour contact number is provided for residents who may have questions after installation. • The meters will transmit a signal every 14 seconds. Each transmission lasts for a fraction of a second, with a total radio frequency transmission of less than 45 seconds per day. • The water meters are read by a hand-held radio unit in a vehicle and data is stored in a software program

DOES EVERYONE NEED TO HAVE A METER INSTALLED? • Yes – it is important that all property owners connected to the municipal water service participate in the Universal Water Meter Program. There is a bylaw in place (no. 1973) that stipulates that all homeowners are required to have a meter installed. • As tax-paying residents of Grand Forks, you have a right to access clean water. The Water Meter Installation Program will help the City maintain this essential service and make billing more equitable for all property owners.

WHAT IF I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE WATER METERS? • Above all, remember that we care about the well-being and quality of life for our residents. We invite all questions and are happy to discuss the Universal Water Meter Program with our residents. City Administrative staff will be happy to listen and to provide accurate and factual information. • Visit the City of Grand Forks’ website to access fact sheets and brochures with more detailed information at www.grandforks.ca. • The Neptune Technology Group Information brochure about radio frequencies of AMR/AMI meters can also be viewed at this location: https://www.neptunetg.com/uploadedFiles/Content/About/White_Papers/12-NTG-176%20WP%20RF%20Health%20Effects%2005.12.pdf

Could this autumn see the end of one of the Boundary’s longest standing societies? That scenario is very likely to happen if volunteers are not found to fill soon-to-be-vacated director positions. Sixty-three years ago, the Boundary Historical Society (BHS) was created with the purpose of “recording and publishing the current and

past history of the Boundary District; and to stimulate active interest in our heritage.” Just seven years later in 1958, the society had a membership of over 300 individuals and like-minded organizations, and published its first “Report”, a collection of stories and articles documenting the early days of life along the Boundary. By the early 1970s, memberships numbered nearly 400 and reports were being published every two or three years. However, by the time the last report (#15) hit the bookshelves in 2006, the society had less than 100 members—and the numbers have continued to fall despite regular recruitment drives. Today, the society has a small but active and motivated group of volunteers who have worked hard to shine light on our heritage and to record and publish our history. Finally, Report #16, eight years in the making, will be published before the end of this year. As membership has declined, so has the commitment of members to serve as directors. And without a full complement of directors, the society cannot continue to exist. This has been an ongoing dilemma for several years now. And 2014 will be no exception. The society’s next AGM is scheduled for Oct. 25 and key director positions have not yet been filled for the 2014-2015 term. The situation is so precarious that a motion to wind up the society and distribute its assets has been drafted and will be presented to the members at the AGM should the required director positions not be filled. If you have an interest in the history and heritage of our Boundary district and want to help the volunteers continue the long and valuable tradition of the BHS, please contact the society as soon as possible at 250-442-1242 or at: boundaryhistorical@gmail.com.

Chamber wins provincial award PAT KELLY

Boundary Creek Times Reporter

It is challenging to keep in touch with and service the nearly 200 members of the regional chamber spread across the Boundary. To be recognized for doing it well is pretty sweet. That’s exactly what happened at the B.C. Chamber Executive Gala Dinner on Sept. 13 in New Westminster. The British Columbia Chamber Executives organization, made up of directors from chambers of commerce from across the province, was founded in 1981 to promote and deliver professional development to the executives of chambers of commerce throughout the province and this year they chose to award the 2014 Communications Award for Chambers with under 200 members to the Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce (BCRCC). Black Press sponsored the award. At the dinner to accept the award was BCRCC Executive Director James Wilson. The good news was spread locally at the bi-monthly Biz After Biz networking session hosted in Greenwood by the Board of Trade (BOT) Wednesday, Sept. 17. Because the Boundary region is spread out over some two hours travel distance, the location of the bi-monthly networking sessions moves. Holding it in different locations each month is but

one part of the strategy of the BCRCC to engage with the businesses, non-profits and organizations across the Boundary. “This award is one of the many things that show we are gaining momentum in working for our members across the Boundary,” said Wilson. “Like this Biz after Biz—networking with friends and letting members know what is going on by way of economic development options; ways we are trying to connect with members and find out what we can do to help.” The evening was special for another reason: it heralded the celebration of a new agreement recently signed between the BCRCC and the BOT that will allow BOT members to become full-fledged members of the BCRCC for only an additional $10 annually above their local dues. BCRCC Executive Director James Wilson holds This is the second agree- the much-deserved 2014 Communications ment signed by the two groups Award for chambers with under 200 members this year; the first was signed recently awarded by the British Columbia Chamin March and states that neither ber Executives Organization. group will solicit membership ing rights, privileges and duties of such within the territory of the other, though membership; and finally, the MOU recindividual businesses may be members ognizes the BCRCC as a regional chamof both organizations; that each organi- ber and authorizes the chamber to prozation is a member of the other and one vide services and resources to the BOT if member of each board can become a they are regional in nature. member of the other board with full votThe new agreement basically ex-

POLICE BRIEFS Break, enter and theft

On Monday, Sept. 22 at 10:12 a.m., police received a complaint of a break, enter and theft at the New Century Restaurant on Fifth St, reported Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison of the Grand Forks RCMP. “Someone gained access through a window, entered the business and stole some cash,” Harrison reported. There are no witnesses or suspects. Anyone with information is asked to call the Grand Forks RCMP detachment at 250-442-8288 or Crimestoppers.

Motor vehicle accident

At 5:51 p.m. on Sept. 22, a single motor vehicle accident at Stewart Creek Road near Christina Lake was reported. Both ambulance and fire rescue were on hand, Harrison said. The driver of the brown Ford F150, a 17-year-old Grand Forks man, reported hitting a patch of gravel and losing control; the vehicle ended up over the embankment, with the front end facing the road. Both air bags deployed; there is significant damage to the passenger side, front and rear, Harrison said. The two occupants were treated for minor injuries. There are no charges expected, the sergeant added.

Break and enter

On Sept. 25, police received a report of an alarm at the Christina Lake Pharmasave. The back door appeared to have been forced open but would-be thieves were not able to access an interior security curtain (steel mesh), Harrison confirmed.

Wildlife collison

On Thursday, Sept. 25, a driver reported he had hit a deer on Hwy 3 about two kilometers west of Grand Forks. There was considerable amount of damage to the 2009 Hyundai and it was not drivable. The driver was uninjured.

pands the second point of the earlier agreement and allows BOT members full access to services such as the web site (www.boundarychamber.com) and newsletter. “James [Wilson] is a really good collaborator and I like that,” said BOT President Jim Nathorst. “This is the kind of thing we should be doing. Not just between chambers but municipalities and everybody. It will be good for Greenwood and good for the Boundary; that’s the whole reason for it. And it protects the Greenwood BOT’s constitution too.” “We are better together,” said BCRCC President Chuck Bennett. “If you are in business you don’t have to look too far to see some challenges and if we are not on the same page then we are not going to be successful. My hats are off to you guys for making this work. I really look forward to this relationship.” Wilson said that membership in the regional chamber is up from last year and while they are still working toward the goal of having 200 members, “We are definitely growing.” Wilson conceded the BCRCC is in need of board members. “Especially from the West Boundary. Any business owner interested should call and talk to me about it. The AGM is Nov. 13 so I need to know in the next couple of weeks.” Contact Wilson at 250-442-2722 or via email at info@boundarychamber.com.

Trails project nears completion DELLA MALLETTE Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks/Christina Lake Multi-Use Trails project is a perfect example of what can happen when partners work together towards one common goal. It has been the Grand Forks ATV Club at the helm, applying for and receiving a Job Creation grant to hire four people to clear, map, sign and install three staging areas in the Stewart, Morrissey and Sand Creek areas. Two the areas are now complete— Stewart and Morrissey—with work at Sand Creek underway.

The partners are a long list, ranging from the Boundary Horse Association to the Grand Forks Cycling Club to the Province of B.C. “The Grand Forks ATV Club and the many partners are not establishing any new trails in their Grand Forks Christina Lake Multi-Use Trails Project,” explained Grand Forks ATV Club vice-president Doug Zorn. “We are using the trails and Forest Service roads that are existing.”

He added, “By being proactive we are helping the users by providing them information on the environment and wildlife in the area so they can make better choices when using the trails, and have a clear understanding of the sensitive species that call this area home. “With signage everyone can safely enjoy the outdoors, have a great experience and with the staging areas locations have a picnic lunch or use a outhouse along the way.” With volunteers assisting, the three staging areas are complete.

Literacy hits the streets in Grand Forks SHEILA DOBIE

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Community leaders, volunteers and team members of the Border Bruins will join Black Press and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy on Oct. 8 to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and to celebrate the power literacy has in Grand Forks. The 4th Annual Reach a Reader campaign will raise funds for Grand Forks community-based literacy programs. Why? Literacy is important to all British Columbians! It impacts every aspect of our lives: health care, crime rates, employment and economic status. Despite its essential role in life, at least 40 per cent of B.C. adults have difficulty

reading a newspaper, filling out a work application, reading a map, or understanding a lease—and this percentage is increasing. “The Reach a Reader campaign reminds people that literacy skills are important if we are to succeed in today’s world,” said Sheila Dobie, Boundary community literacy coordinator. “When we hear the word literacy, many of us think ‘you can read or you can’t read.’ Of course, literacy is about reading and writing, but it is also about the ability to express our ideas, think critically, and use technology. Literacy is wide and allencompassing. Literacy is having the skills you need, to do what you want to do in your life.” In Grand Forks, funds will help sup-

port family literacy programs in the Boundary. These programs bring important early years’ activities that promote language development, physical activities and healthy living to families—all ways to ensure a culture of learning throughout a family’s life. You can support the Reach a Reader campaign by making a donation in exchange for a special edition of the Grand Forks Gazette on Oct. 8. Volunteers will be hitting the streets with papers in hand at Overwaitea, at the Boundary Mall in front of RHC Insurance, and in front of the Gazette office between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. You may also donate online at cbal.org. To learn more about communitybased literacy programs in Grand Forks, contact Dobie at sdobie@cbal.org.

Seven immune-boosting tips

estion: Hi Stephanie, u how I can prevent myself from getting sick (colds/ flu) this fall? –Sarah

hands, especially before eating or touching your face. Health Promote laughter. Did you know that laughing is one of the most effective stress busters? Research shows that when we STEPHANIE laugh we promote oxygen and LeCLAIR RMT circulation to vital areas in our body (lungs, heart, diaphragm). Here is a joke: An old man went to the doctor complaining of a terrible pain in his leg. “I am afraid it’s just old age”; Replied the doctor, “There is nothing we can do about it.” “That can’t be” fumed the old man, “you don’t know what you are doing.” “How can you possibly know I am wrong?” countered the doctor. “Well it’s quite obvious,” the old man replied, “my other leg is fine, and it’s the exact same age!” Make time to create healthy relationships. Turn off your cell phone, TV, or computer and make time to be with family, loved ones, and friends. Research shows positive social connections are big immune boosters. Have some unhealthy habits? (Smoking, eating excessive amount of sugar etc?) Don’t stress about it! Rather than focusing on ‘quitting’, focus on increasing the healthy habits. This can build a positive mental landscape where changes become possible. Did you know that positive interactions with animals can reduce anxiety? Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) has been shown to decrease blood pressure and promote relaxation. AAT is where mainly dogs or horses interact with humans. Life is a rollercoaster and there are many ups and downs that may seem out of our control; remember that there are areas of life that you can always positively influence through your actions. If you are looking to make major changes in your life, I would recommend that you consult a medical professional before starting (doctor, registered nutritionist, physical therapist). Every person is different. Have a health question for Stephanie? Submit your question to editor@grandforksgazette.ca with the subject line “In Good Health question”.

Jack Goddard Memorial Arena Warm Room

z In Good

Good question Sarah! Golden leaves and early darkness make it undeniable that autumn is officially here. There are many factors that can affect our immune system this time of year; kids are back in school, summer holidays are over and it’s back to work. Stress is ultimately the main contributing factor to illness, whether it is dietary stress, exposure to toxic environments, work, family, relationships, or lack of healthy exercise. The best approach for a healthy immune system is to identify areas of stress in your life and see what kind of positive influence you can make. This is called an integrated approach which means considering emotional, physical, social, mental, and spiritual factors creating a full circle of health. Here are seven tips and simple strategies to keep your immune system rockin’ this fall: Eat plenty of fruits and veggies. Local, organic and in season can be the best as they are most nutrient dense and eating local helps our bodies adapt to our environment. Consider winter squashes, hearty soups and stews for healthy, delicious and nutritious eating this fall. Regular exercise. I’m not talking about running a marathon but regular, moderate activity keeps our muscles happy and lymphatic system flowing. A healthy lymphatic system is directly connected to exercise because our muscle activity facilitates our lymph flow. Lymph is what carries our immune cells throughout the body, which is super important! I would suggest walking, cycling, swimming, rebounding, gym, dancing or whatever form of movement you like. Even 20-30 minutes two to three times a week can make a big difference in decreasing your stress and promoting longevity. Massage therapy can also help to promote lymphatic circulation. Germs can live a few minutes up to 24 hours depending on the surface. One of the most effective ways to prevent illness is washing your

Athlete of the Week

Kayla Tiller

Figure skater, Grand Forks Figure Skating Club Kayla joined the Grand Forks Figure Skating Club when she was three and, from the second she stepped onto the ice, she was hooked. She improved at an astonishing pace to achieve, at a young age, Gold Test standards in Dance (passing her Westminster Waltz and Quickstep) and is now working towards her Gold Skills and two more Gold Dances. She is very excited about the club’s new skating coach, Raymond Naismith, and together with a new Free Skating solo (choreographed by Raymond), they are preparing for upcoming competitions.

To nominate an athlete of the week, send a JPEG and some details to editor@grandforksgazette.ca. Open to all ages, male or female. Yaletown

Boundary Creek Times Reporter

The En-kata Choir from Tanzania, East Africa brought their “Why Such Fear?” Tour 2014 to the Midway Community Hall on Thursday, Sept. 25. They came sharing songs and stories about the awesome power of God at work in their community. Six singers came to represent their community choir. Jeremy Feser from Cranbrook acted as interpreter. The choir was in the second week of a nine-week North American tour. They were brought to the Boundary through the networking skills of Pastor Martin Fromme of Evangelical Church in Greenwood. The choir’s schedule is available online (www.en-kata.com) and they urge people who saw them to call ahead to family members in other parts of the country where the choir will be performing. Feser explained the choir’s message focuses on five main things—the rights of women, clean water, education, the Gospel and trying to bring to bear the power of song and music on the real problems in their community. Proceeds from the tour will help accomplish these goals.

Sept. 21 a day of peace

Bryan William Haines August 12, 1952 September 17, 2014

After a courageous battle with cancer, Bryan passed away peacefully at 62 years of age. Family and friends will always remember his smile, his sense of humour, his warmth and gentleness, his generosity of spirit, his feisty nature, his tenacity, his love of people and his zest for life! Left to treasure his memory are his family: wife Jacqueline, step-daughter Michelle; mother and step-father Lucille & Fred; brothers Blaine (Jackie) and Kevin (Gloria); sisters Dianne (Gerry) and Michelle (Henry); extensive family and many friends. Bryan was a proud Irishman, a football player, a coach, an outdoor education and leadership educator, a canoeist, a bird enthusiast, a lover of dogs, a builder and a maker of dreams come true. Bryan was especially proud of his work and contributions to the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary as director of the Olympic National School Kit programs. Throughout his thirty year career as an educator, Bryan organized annual Terry Fox Runs resulting in considerable contributions to Cancer Research. In the last two years of his working life, Bryan played a leading role in bringing the Rick Hanson Foundation program to schools in Alberta. Born in Dawson Creek BC, Bryan attended Mount Royal College, the University of Alberta, and earned his Master of Education degree at the University of Lethbridge. Although he left us too soon, all of our lives have been touched and enriched by his spirit. He was one of a kind and second to none. Funeral Arrangements in trusted to Deborah Baker of Grand Forks Funeral Home. A most sincere and heartfelt thank you to cherished friends and family, Christina Lake & Grand Forks community members, Boundary Hospital & Kootenay Regional Hospital medical staff, Pharmasave staff, as well as the Grand Forks Funeral Home & Hannah Bees. All condolences, cards, messages, ﬂowers, and food were greatly appreciated. If desired, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated and may be made online at www.terryfox.org/Donate

K. Osachoff August 26 1942 to October 5, 2009

Memories are treasures no one can steal; Death is a heartache no one can heal, Life must go on, we know that is true, But nothing is the same since we lost you. We cannot bring the old days back When we were all together. But loving thoughts and memories Will live with us forever. Sadly Missed and Lovingly Remembered by Wife Joyce, Sons Darryl & Ryan, Daughter in-law Michelle & Grandson Kohen

Rosemary Phillips honoured United Nations International Day of Peace on Sunday, Sept. 21 by standing on Hwy 3 at Christina Lake, complete with signs and balloons, waving and doing the peace sign to vehicles and passersby. Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on Sept. 21—the United Nations General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples.

Regular day reminds us of why we live here ➠ Friday, September 19, 2014

ver the course of a day in Grand Forks there are thousands of moments big and small. In a community as vibrant as ours, it’s not difficult to capture at least some of these moments for all to see. On Friday, Sept. 19, a team of photographers hit the streets from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. with the goal of documenting life in our town. Gazette staff Chris Hammett, Craig Lindsay and Della Mallette were joined by local photographer Megan Kienas in this mission. We were not in search of the dramatic, just a regular day as it unfolds. We found the people who simply make up the fabric of this great community—everyday tasks and interactions that remind us of why we live here. In the pages that follow, you will see the results of our hard work. We hope you enjoy this peek into life on our streets as much as we enjoyed shooting it.

In good hands Whether from the fire hall or straight from work, citizens of Grand Forks can count on our emergency personnel. A grass fire Friday, Sept. 19, wasn’t big but certainly could have spread easily in the dry conditions. Looking back in history, Ace Talarico became the first full-time paid fire chief for the City of Grand Forks in 1970. Today the fire department consists of almost 50 volunteer firefighters with a paid chief and assistant chief. In 1944 the department responded to 22 calls for the entire year. Today the department responds to an average of 25 calls a month. Della Mallette photo

Moving product by rail The Grand Forks Railroad stops traffic but itâ€™s never for very long. After CPR abandoned their Kettle Valley Line and the tracks between Castlegar and Grand Forks in 1992, the Grand Forks Railway was born. The local mill (now Interfor), the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, and the Grand Forks Railway Incorporated purchased the tracks from CPR in 1993. They also purchased the remaining GMD locomotive 6703. Burlington Northern Railroad drops cars at the Pacific Abrasives site and the Grand Forks Railroad picks them up and delivers them to various industrial sites on the south side of the Kettle River in Grand Forks. With a total of 3.7 miles of track the Grand Forks Railway is rumored to be the shortest short line in Canada and possibly North America. Megan Kienas photos
