There is plenty of interest in this year’s municipal election judging on letters to the editor, interaction on social media and just plain chatter on the street.

There was an estimated 275 people out at the All Candidates Forum on Wednesday (Oct. 22) night at Grand Forks Secondary to hear 16 candidates for city council, as well as six candidates for school trustee.

The candidates were given two minutes for an introductory speech and another two minutes for a closing speech. There were also questions from the media and the general public on a number of topics from medicinal marijuana to infrastructure to water meters to budgeting.

Questions had to be directed to a single candidate who had one minute to answer. Each candidate also had two “red flags” in which they could rebut another candidate’s answer.

There was a strong female presence among both the councillor candidates and the school trustee candidates. Of the 16 candidates for council, half are female. Among the six school trustee candidates (two for Area D and four for the city of Grand Forks), half are also female.

With a national average hovering around 20 per cent for females in office, Grand Forks and area are well above the norm (for candidates).

Of course, the percentage of female councillors who are elected to council will be up to the voters.

Lorraine Dick, who also ran in 2009, urged voters to rise above candidate opinions and consider candidate characteristics.

“Consider who we are and what we do between elections,” said Dick in her introduction.

When asked about her plans for the city’s economic recovery, Chris Hammett, who sits on the downtown business association, said she thinks the city is on the track to recovery.

“I want to be on the team on that track,” she said. “What we’re seeing now with empty store fronts, the city can’t do anything about people retiring. We need to let people know that we have something to offer here and we should make it attractive for them to come and open a business here.”

School candidates face questions CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The school trustee portion of last week’s all candidates forum may have generated less interest than the councillor portion but there was nonetheless many good questions and candidates with answers.

Topics that came up during the forum included bullying and child safety, grouping of kids, health of kids, and program funding.

Katie Jepsen, who runs a daycare centre in town, said that she knows the children and the

staff and she wants to run for trustee because she wants what’s best for the children.

“It’s important that our children have a safe learning environment,” she said. “Together we can put an end to bullying and create safer schools.”

One resident asked about the possible health hazard of having Wi-Fi in schools.

Jepsen said she believed schools should keep up with technology and if it works, “we have to use it.”

A teacher in the audience asked incumbent (and B.C. School Trustee Association (BCSTA) president) Teresa Rezansoff about her group’s

POLICE BRIEFS

By Craig Lindsay

Library money stolen

On Oct. 21 at 9:45 a.m., RCMP received a call from the local library director stating that he had found out that some money had gone missing from the library’s cash drawer over the weekend. “The front doors were apparently found tied together,” said Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. “Staff were on scene but found no suitable prints or evidence on scene.”

The robbery occurred between 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 20 and 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 21.

“Interestingly enough, the alarm did go off but that cleaning staff reset it,” said Harrison. It’s possible that the door was left open, he added. “It turns out the security rep attending found the door unsecured and tied it together.”

There was approximately $94 stolen. No damage was found. Police have no suspects or witnesses at this time.

Vehicle broken into

On Oct. 23 at 11:11 a.m., police received a report of a vehicle being broken into some time over night.

“It was parked near 72nd Avenue,” said Harrison. “The ashtray and possibly 50 cents had been taken from a Toyota Tercel. Doors were reportedly locked; however, there was no damage to the vehicle and there was no sign of forced entry.”

Bonfire, fireworks ready SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

For almost 40 years, Grand Forks Rotary has been hosting a Halloween bonfire. The Rotary Club started to hold annual bonfires to provide a focal point for the youth and others celebrating Halloween. The event has drawn favourable attention from the local community and even was listed in Beautiful BC magazine as a must see.

The free admission event is held at Angus Macdonald Park starting at 6 p.m. with

the lighting of the bonfire and ends with Grand Fork’s only annual fireworks display.

In between there is a fortune-teller and hot chocolate.

Back by popular demand, free bags of Rotary’s Kettle Corn will be handed out.

Rotary funds the event through the sale of door cards to show that you have contributed to the bonfire. These cards are available through many participating merchants and any Rotarian.

Thanks to everyone who supports the Halloween Bonfire—see you out on Oct. 31.

There was a motor vehicle accident at Starchuk Road and Whitehall Road with damage over $1,000, on Oct. 23 at 5:22 p.m. “A driver was travelling southbound on Whitehall Road turning (left) into the driveway in his 2010 GMC Canyon,” said Harrison. “The other driver was also travelling southbound behind the first driver and attempted to pass the vehicle in a blue 1988 Ford F150.”

Unfortunately, the driver misjudged and ended up ended up hitting the GMC, said Harrison.

“The passenger door and the right side of the truck box collided with the other vehicle’s left bumper causing a dent in the Ford truck,” he said.

The driver of the GMC, a 75-year-old female from Grand Forks, was issued a ticket for unsafe passing.

Evergreens stolen

On Oct. 23 at 2:20 p.m., RCMP received a report of six to eight young evergreens (valued at $400) being stolen from a neighbour’s property some time in the last three to four days. The theft occurred on Dunn Road at Christina Lake.

“The complainant had been keeping an eye on the property for his neighbours as they live in Calgary,” said Harrison. “The neighbour’s enquiries didn’t produce anything. Apparently, someone actually dug the trees out of the ground.”

Vehicles keyed

On Oct. 25, it was reported to RCMP that several vehicles were keyed overnight when they were parked in a driveway on 78th Avenue in Grand Forks.

“Constables attended and noted deep scratches on three vehicles, one a 2008 Chevy pick-up, another a 2013 Chevy pick-up, and the third a 2003 Ford car,” said Harrison. “Most of the damage was done to the car which indicated that that person may have been the main target of this vandalism.”

Police have no witnesses and no suspects at this time. “It appears that it was a targeted attack for whatever reason,” he said. “No other vehicles in the area were hit.”

The vandalism caused quite a bit of damage, added Harrison. Anyone with any information on this crime is urged to contact Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288.

Drunk driver

City of Grand forks photo

On Oct. 26 at 4:52 p.m., an RCMP officer on patrol spotted a small, gray truck turning left on Coalshute Road.

“The turn signal was blinking very quickly indicating that front signal light was burnt out which is a general thing that happens with vehicles,” said Harrison.

“The constable conducted a traffic stop for that reason. When she approached the driver she noticed a very strong odour of liquor on the driver’s breath. She asked the driver to exit the vehicle and accompany her to the front of the police vehicle, at which time she determined that the odour of liquor was definitely coming from him.”

The driver, a 48-year-old Grand Forks male, was given a demand to provide breath samples. In both cases, the driver received “warn” which led to a three-day immediate roadside prohibition and a three-day impoundment of his vehicle.

Bonfire aims to be a safe event Back when we were kids, Halloween was a more innocent time. We all went zigzagging around the neighbourhood, going door to door collecting candy and whatnot from any house you could find.

Nowadays you wouldn’t let your child go anywhere near a stranger’s house without parental guidance, a cell phone and an air horn.

Fortunately for Grand Forks parents and kids, there is another option: the Rotary Club’s annual Halloween bonfire/ fireworks event at Angus MacDonald Park.

The local Rotary club has been organizing and running this event for 40 years now and have it down to an art.

With safety always a concern for parents, the event is well supervised.

Legend has it that the event started because Rotarians and residents in general were tired of all the graffiti and vandalism during Halloween. “What if we gave them something fun and interesting to do? So the kids could congregate away from downtown,” recalled Gord Nichols, who is the main organizer this year and who has been with the club for many years.

It certainly appears to have worked as there is little vandalism on Halloween and attendance at the Halloween bonfire/fireworks event continues to be very strong.

Be sure to support this event by visiting the businesses that support this event with the Halloween cards in their windows.

Many deserve thanks following incident On The Ball CRAIG LINDSAY

YOUR THOUGHTS?

A couple of weeks ago I missed some time from work.

I spent eight days in hospital following a “cardiac incident” that occurred playing men’s league hockey.

I had joked that it’s fortunate that my doctor is on my hockey team because if I had a heart attack on ice I would have good help.

Well, that joke turned out to be not so funny as I had what doctors later found out was an atrial flutter causing wide complex tachycardia, which is a long, fancy way to say my heart was racing really, really fast (260 beats per minute).

I had played the whole game, the second of the season, and felt fine. As soon as I came to the bench on that shift late in the game I felt a tightness and pain in my chest.

Soon enough I could barely move my limbs or speak and felt numb, although I could hear and see everything fine.

Eventually, my teammates figured out something was wrong and called an ambulance and I was taken to Grand Forks hospital.

I had a cardioversion (paddles) done to my ticker. It hurt like mad (felt like a shotgun to the chest), but immediately I could speak and move and felt like myself again.

After more tests and a downturn in my condition, the docs in GF send me by ambulance to Kelowna, where they have a cardiology ward and could better diagnose me.

Several tests later, the cardiologists decided that I should be flown to Victoria where I would have an EPS (electrophysiology test which tests the heart using electric wires) done and a pacemaker likely installed.

In Victoria, I had the EPS done and they also performed an ablation.

After several more tests (in-

cluding a dreaded MRI which I don’t recommend if you’re claustrophic at all) they determined I did not need a pacemaker.

I was finally released just in time to catch my flight to the Okanagan where I spent some time rehabilitating with Dr. Mom. Of course, I should add that coming from a hockey game to the hospital, I had nothing with me in Kelowna except my underwear. So I ended up spending four days in Kelowna General Hospital with no glasses, no wallet, no cell phone, and no clothes at all. I pictured myself being released in my hospital nightgown and funky hospital order socks (non-slip). Might make catching a cab difficult.

Anyway, my wonderful mom came up and visited me and brought some much needed clothes. A neighbour and her son (who played for the opposing team) were able to gather my glasses, phone and wallet and send them by Greyhound just in time. I wouldn’t

It was obviously pretty scary stuff, but the doctors kept me well informed every step of the way and the nurses and caregivers were sympathetic and helpful as needed.

I would also like to thank all the people who wished me well and took time to ask how I was doing both in person and on social media. Your thoughts and prayers were a big help. Of that I have no doubt.

So in closing, I would say we are very fortunate to have the medical system that we have. Interior Health (and Island Health)—you do an amazing job! Despite Grand Forks being rural and out of the way, we have a pretty great hospital here with a caring and very competent staff.

City being used as pawn by pro-marijuana faction

Editor, The Gazette: Re: Marijuana Dispensary During the Oct. 22 councillor candidate forum, a question was asked about the city granting a business license to the marijuana dispensary on 68th Ave. that has apparently been in operation for three months, and current councillor Neil Krog responding that it was a legitimate business and there was no requirement to notify neighbours.

This was the first time I heard about the dispensary in our city.

The next day I e-mailed Mr. Allin, CAO of our city, asking what he could tell me about that business and why the city granted a business license. His response was: “The city issues business licenses to those businesses that qualify under the city’s zoning bylaw. The city is not in a legal position to deny a business licence to a business when they qualify under the zoning bylaw. If they are in contravention of the law it is up to the RCMP to enforce those laws.

“If you would like to learn more about the business I would encourage you to stop in and talk to the owner. I hope this helps.”

As suggested by Mr. Allin, I attempted to visit the dispensary Friday, Oct. 24 only to find the shop closed, no signage on the building identifying what business was operating or what was being sold in suite #4, and no building number displayed on the building. Talk about flying under the radar!

As laws and regulations pertaining to medical marijuana are the responsibility of the fed-

eral government, I then checked out Health Canada’s website.

Under “Frequently Asked Questions: Medical Use of Marihuana”, and “For Licenced Producers” it states: “Can I operate a storefront?

No. You must ship dried marijuana directly to the client (or their physician, if requested).”

And, “Can I sell/provide product to a compassion club or dispensary who will then distribute on my behalf? No. Only licensed producers are authorized to sell or provide dried marijuana. Licensed producers must ship dried marijuana directly to the client (or their physician, if requested) in accordance with the new Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations.”

Also on Health Canada’s website is a list of companies that currently have been granted a license to produce and distribute medical marijuana. Checking the websites of each company listed, it is noted that not one of those companies is located in the Greenwood/Grand Forks/Christina Lake area.

Despite Mr. Krog’s statement that it is a legitimate business, I have to wonder whether it truly is legitimate.

For all intents and purposes, it would appear our town is being used as a pawn by the pro-marijuana faction in their persistent efforts to force the Canadian government to legalize marijuana. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I resent being used!

Sylvia Treptow, Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette: I have two gripes: #1. Everyone in this city who lives in a mobile home or modular home is being held hostage by the city and Neptune. Neptune goes under our units, puts in the water meters without insulating the new parts that they install.

We have to sign a paper that says we homeowners are responsible if it freezes. Neptune says the city doesn’t pay them to insulate their work.

It takes only five or six minutes longer and about a tooney’s worth of insulation to do the job right. A lot of the homeowners in our park are not capable of going under their homes to freeze-proof the water meters.

I’ve also noticed that Neptune does not check for leaks when they are finished. They just come out from the crawl space, turn the water back on and leave. Some may call this professionalism, but I sure don’t.

#2. Speaking of jobs not well done, I remember reading in the paper that the city was going to do something for the cyclists when they repaved 68th Ave. They had the machinery, the men, and the material to go ahead with continuing the bike lane from the black bridge to 19th St. Everything was ready to go: the lanes were cleaned up and dug down over to the sidewalks. Then it was cancelled.

Why? The city built bike lanes a few years ago from the bridge to about Eighth St. From 19th St. on west to Spraggett Road, there are bike lanes. Why does the city think painting bike images on a narrow street makes it safe for cyclists? There is about two feet or less between a bike and a vehicle. How dumb does the city think we are?

Richard Jones, Grand Forks

In two weeks and three days, on Saturday, Nov. 15, eligible voters who are residents of the City of Grand Forks and Area D in the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) have an opportunity to go to a polling station to cast ballots for a mayor and six councillors for the city, three trustees for Boundary School District 51 (two city and one Area D), and a regional director for Area Rousing D. They will be doing so at the end of a the Rabble five-week campaign—sooner if they vote in advance.

ROY RONAGHAN The regional director and school trustee for Area C were acclaimed.

Successful candidates will serve a four-year term rather than three as has been the case for the past 24 years. The 2014 spring session of the BC Legislative Assembly approved the longer term at the request of the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM).

A criticism of the three-year term was that elected officials spent the first year learning, the second year getting things done and the third year preparing for the next election.

The arguments in support of a four-year term are that it will reduce election costs; provide a longer planning cycle for councils and boards; provide more time for new people to learn and perform the duties of their office; and offer consistency with provincial and federal government terms.

In preparation for marking their ballot, voters might think of themselves as shareholders in corporations that are seeking people with special skills and knowledge related to the work required of them, and the acumen to be effective in their governance roles. Hiring the best-qualified people from among those who have applied for the available jobs is a challenge because of the scarcity of information.

Voters desperately need more in the way of critical background information from their future employees, such as experience that applies in their new roles. A detailed resume and a couple references could have supplied that information. However, the people who want to serve are not now required to provide much more than an information brochure; a statement in the print and on-line media; four minutes of commentary at a public forum; newspaper ads; and what they might willingly disclose during casual conversations.

Some are now making extensive us of social media.

The next four years will be a critical time for the city, school district and regional district. No one knows for sure what the future holds and what those who are elected will have to deal with. The work will require people who are innovative, creative, adaptable and capable of reasoned judgement.

Incumbents who are seeking re-election can boast of having at least three years experience but little is known about newcomers. That deficit might be overcome by asking questions.

• What motivated you to run for office?

• What special issues do you expect to address during the next four years as a councillor, regional director or trustee?

• What weight should be given to climate change and its potential impact in future planning?

• What is your level of understanding of how local and regional governments operate in relation to one another?

• How familiar are you with the Municipal Act, the Community Charter and the School Act? • How committed are you devoting the time required to fulfill your duties and responsibilities?

• How committed are you to attending regular and special meetings, important conferences, the Association of Kootenay & Boundary Local Governments (AKBLG), and the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) Convention and the annual meeting of school trustees?

The outcome of this election depends on voters making smart decisions by paying close attention to what is said, done and published by the candidates while keeping in mind that there are no recall provisions at the local and regional government levels and four years is a long time in politics. Those with the most votes on Nov. 15 will be our new employees.

Advance polls will be open Wednesday, Nov. 5 and Wednesday, Nov. 12.

News

Trestle closed for redecking SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks Community Trails Society has learned that the contract for re-decking the Nursery Trestle was awarded to DJM Contracting of Rossland, B.C. The society is delighted to learn that the bridge will re-decked with four-inch treated lumber that should last indefinitely. The project will be paid for by the province with a contribution from the RDKB. The work starts with the arrival of the lumber this week (scheduled for Monday, Oct. 27) and take less than two weeks to complete.

This historic structure was originally decked by the 44th Field Squadron in 2003 to improve access for the Trans Canada Trail. Unfortunately, the decking used at that time was untreated

wood with a limited life span.

Recently the society had been using plywood to temporarily patch the deck where gaps appeared.

With the society’s new stewardship agreement with the province came the opportunity to request a new surface for the trestle.

Earlier this year the society had proposed that the military return to re-deck the trestle while Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) Rec Sites and Trails and the RDKB split the cost of the materials.

Both MFLNRO and the RDKB expressed interest in this plan but when the military couldn’t commit to a time, the decision was made to hire a private contractor to do the work.

Trail users are advised that the trestle will be closed from Oct. 27 to Nov. 7.

City Hall renos coming along CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

At city council Oct. 20, city staff gave a presentation on the rebuilding of Grand Forks City Hall. A fire in September 2014 gutted the first floor and caused extensive smoke damage to the rest of the venerable building.

In an interview with the Gazette, Sarah Winton, deputy corporate officer/communications, said city staff is aiming to move in this December and have the inaugural meeting of the next coun-

cil there on Dec. 1.

“The renovations are coming along pretty well,” she said “It looks great. Drywall and painting are done. We’re just waiting for carpet and flooring.”

The city would not comment on the expected final costs of the project. “With the complex nature of this project, final costs are unknown at this time,” said Winton. “The team working on the project has been diligent in keeping costs down and working within the parameters laid out by the insurance company.”

Sewer regs bylaw gets update CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

With Grand Forks operating a sewer disposal system for residents and commercial users, staff and council must from time to time review policies and rates to ensure the system continues to run smoothly.

To that end, at Grand Forks city council meeting on Oct. 20, council received the sewer regulations and rates repeal bylaw No. 1500-R for 2014, and the new sewer regulations bylaw No. 1974 for 2014, and gave first, second and third readings to both.

Both motions passed unanimously with no discussion. Fourth and final reading for both are expected to be held at the next regular council meeting on Nov. 3.

A spokesperson for the city stated that some of the areas of significant change between the current and proposed bylaw are: updated and expanded definition to stay current with the manner in which the utility operates; expanded and updated general provisions including authority to administer and enforce the bylaw, terms and conditions of service, interruption and discontinuation of service, and termination of service sections added; expanded and updated service connection/disconnection section including inspection chambers and manholes, and non-residential connections sections added; and significantly expanded and updated waste standards including prohibitions, effluent limitation parameters, sampling and analysis protocols, pre-treatment requirements, volume control and interception devices sections added.

Corporation of the City of Grand Forks Candidates for Mayor One to be elected

PETER DEMSKI

My name is Peter Demski and I am running for mayor for the City of Grand Forks.

Having spent my life here in Grand Forks I have witnessed this town go from a thriving community to a town that has decayed to the point where 50 per cent of the businesses have shutdown.

Putting up a sign that Grand Forks is open for business isn’t enough. My first priority is economic development which includes working with Community Futures to make it easier for small business loans. Grand Forks has

one of the highest welfare rates in the province and therefore the creation of jobs and reducing the number of people on welfare will be a major priority of my administration. I would like to see the promotion of land development which would also stimulate economic opportunities for business and local area land holders. I would put an emphasis on attracting new doctors to our area. This works hand in hand with my desire to help make Grand Forks a retirement center. An investment into Hardy View Lodge to allow

it to be re-opened would be a step in the right direction. I also believe that Grand Forks and Christina Lake need to work together to raise the area’s profile and attract tourists and businesses.

Combined, the synergy of our two communities could attract investment from both businesses and vacationers. Regarding the water meter controversy I believe everyone should be guaranteed a minimum amount of free water before any charges would apply. I would work with the RDKB to allow scavenging of building materi-

als from the landfill to help reduce waste and encourage recycling. I propose the installation of a feed lot (supplied by waste from the grocery stores) to give the deer an alternate source of food in contrast to any policy of culling because I believe they beautify our community. Low cost housing is in short supply and could be addressed by utilizing a campground/trailer park. I believe working together we can all make Grand Forks a thriving and dynamic community.

FRANK KONRAD

I am an individual who strives to be successful at every endeavour that I challenge. My successful track record warrants me to challenge the position of mayor. I truly believe that I will be an asset to the citizens of this community who definitely need a new breath of fresh air.

Thirty-five years of business success, with managerial experience, my dealings with employees, and my interactions with the public, renders me perfectly for the position of running this city. Running a city is no different than running a business. Both can be very

successful, if properly managed.

Being a city resident, the following issues, and others, affect me personally, as well as all citizens of this city.

1) Lack of interaction and proper communication with the citizens, to acknowledge their needs and concerns.

2) Upgrading our aging and failing infrastructure.

3) Economic development, with better management of our citizens’ property taxes.

4) Encouraging business growth, by offering better incen-

tives, and approaching new businesses, and existing ones, with a more bullish approach. Growth is absolutely essential, because a city, that stops growing, becomes stagnant, and dies.

5) Re-evaluation of non-profit taxation issues, churches, as one example.

Providing strong leadership, with honesty and integrity, based on my successful business background. I plan to lead this city, like my businesses, into a new era of success, with a vision for the future, encompassing all the citizens

of this great city, with their ideas and visions, integrated into our new master plan. My leadership, will never be based on my personal views, but rather an open minded approach, geared to the citizens views, with receptiveness, to their ideas, & goals for all of our futures.

Any questions, or concerns, please contact me. Presently, and once elected, I will always be there for my constituents. Thank you, for your time, and for your support.

DONNA SEMENOFF

The City of Grand Forks is my home. Born and raised here, I’ve kept returning - because of family, the friendliness of the people and the nourishing natural environment.

I see stewardship (care) of the city I live in as a responsibility.

Due to my strong commitment to Grand Forks, I’ve decided to run for mayor. I humbly offer my skills, knowledge, experience and commitment to the citizens of this beautiful valley.

I have leadership and management experience as an educator, program coordinator, and resi-

dence advisor. My responsibilities have included facilitating educational and recreational programs, enforcing safety regulations, supervising staff, and coordinating and conducting staff interviews. I have also had international public speaking experience.

At university and college, I took courses that advanced my English grammar, interpretation of scientific studies, and communication skills. English grammar abilities are useful for amending and developing local bylaws. It is helpful to have skills in the interpretation of

scientific studies, since studies are presented to Mayor and Council for consideration. Communication skills are essential, since citizens and business people approach a Mayor with their ideas and concerns.

I am deeply committed to the well being of all. I would go the extra mile to do the research required to make well informed decisions that includes reading required material and consulting with the public. It’s important to consider the risks and benefits short and long term for various options.

Decisions made at City Hall affect us all. I am strongly committed to working as a TEAM with citizens, businesses, organizations and schools to meet our community’s needs.

My goal is to keep Grand Forks a FABulous place to live!

F – Friendly (working together) A – Affordable (identifying financial priorities and brainstorming solutions) B – Beautiful (environmental education informing procedures) A vote for Donna is a vote for increased democracy!

BRIAN TAYLOR

Over the past months, Grand Forks has experienced modest economic growth. The branding and marketing of our city has paid off.

Our review of city owned property has resulted in a number of properties being identified as surplus to the city’s needs and offered for sale. Homes and properties have been selling as new people choose this community to live, work and raise a family. Although we do have some empty store fronts, we have new businesses moving to our town and taking advantage

of the available commercial and industrial lands. We need to keep attention on the economy.

We continue to see a growth in the numbers of seniors aging in place or moving here to retire. As the recent community check up “Vital signs” pointed out, in the province, seniors are in the middle income bracket; however, in our community we have many low income seniors who are struggling with the basic need for food and shelter. In the next four years, my hope is to keep Grand Forks af-

fordable to low income seniors.

Known as downloading, it is not the role of municipal government to step in to provide services that are the mandate of the province or the federal government.

It is our role to challenge and to engage those other levels of government when we see our citizens suffering. We must not neglect our social responsibility.

Many employable citizens are going north to the oil patch while our major industries are thriving and new industries that are arriv-

ing are all searching for reliable employees. Along with local jobs we need more affordable housing.

As the city moves forward in the next critical years, I ask for your support as mayor to keep the momentum of economic activity and to keep Grand Forks attractive healthy and affordable.

CHER WYERS

I want to take this opportunity to thank the voters of Grand Forks for your support over the past six years in my role as City Councillor.

I have now conquered the Community Charter, can read volumes of correspondence and I have a clear understanding of council’s role in governance and advocacy. I am confident that I can provide the leadership and direction as your Mayor - a position I highly respect.

I have the time, commitment and work ethics to lead and I want the job.

Challenges exist that we share

with many communities across the nation but we are fortunate to live in British Columbia where opportunities are evolving. The City’s $127M infrastructure wrapped up in a twenty-year rebuild Asset Management Plan is ready for senior levels of governments’ funding partnerships.

Downtown revitalization is complete and we’re looking better to outside investors with a vibrant Business Development Plan and Community Profile in two languages. We are marketing vacant city owned properties to bring

in revenue, rooftops, growth and children for our schools along with relocating retirees who recognize the affordable lifestyle we do offer.

Youth engagement in local politics and community life through the development of a youth council will give youth a platform. Everyone must be involved because we can offer good jobs in local government with pensions and training.

Regional collaboration is important for future environmental stewardship, governance and delivering affordable services. Did you know the Regional District

Kootenay Boundary’s (RDKB) 2011 census was under 32,000 and the Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Government’s (AKBLG) population from Big White to the Alberta border is under 180,000 people? We’re too small to work alone.

I am a regional thinker, a good listener and confident that my decisions come from remaining calm and using common sense.

Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Candidates for Area D Director One to be elected BOB KENDEL

I was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1954. I was raised in several small towns in eastern Saskatchewan but was always near our family farm. I worked on ours as well as many other farms throughout my school years.

In 1980 I married my wife Debbie and after 34 years we are blessed with a daughter, son in law and three grandsons aged eight, six and three.

I have been an entrepreneur businessman for most of my adult life. We have had numerous busi-

ness ventures including restaurant, auction automobile and heating air conditioning.

The HVAC business is one I am still involved in here in Grand Forks. I have been involved in this industry for 40 years and hold several journeyman certificates in relevant trades.

I was elected to city council in 2012 and can honestly say it has been one of the most interesting and rewarding experiences in my life. I have had the pleasure of being a part of many initiatives un-

dertaken by city council in the past three years. Working on these things has given me the unique perspective of seeing firsthand how important the co-operation or lack of co-operation between the city and our regional partners effects our ability to go forward in the boundary. I believe that there is much more that can be done to enhance the relationship between the regional district and the city of Grand Forks.

I am proud of the accomplishments in my life, family, business

IRENE PEREPOLKIN

I was born and raised in Grand Forks and am following the footsteps of my ancestors of three generations to maintain the importance of agriculture in our area.

I have been a member of the Area “D” planning committee for six years under Tony Lodder and previous to that under Jmaiff. I am an active member in many non-profit groups doing fundraising and advocating for a number of projects.

The beauty and rural lifestyle of Area D is making many people want to live here. We are most fortunate to have the fortitude of the

ALR to protect the agricultural lands though this is being challenged daily by developers. Subdividing puts an additional strain on the water supply and the aquifer. Past practices of sourcing out our food production will be challenging in years to come with present local economy-the rising cost of fuel and education as to what is going into our food supply. We need to look at being able to produce enough of our own foods to feed our community. With the diverse microclimate we have here that can be done ensuring enough to feed

both people and our animals.

We have a wealth of attractions including Fructova Museum, the flour mill as well as farm tours with more coming. We need to capitalize on this wealth of facilities and welcome guests with open arms and great pride to see the heritage, artifacts and lifestyle of our area. The artisans of the community play a large role in this attraction as well and need support.

Good political decision-making requires recognizing connections.

Most importantly, recognizing connections between financial prosperity, social well-being, and ecological integrity. Secondly, recognizing repeated connections between thinking, conversing, and doing. We should expect this recognition.

Industry that works to minimize environmental impacts helps create long-term employment and roots a strong society: valuing this requires recognizing connections. Likewise, small (tiny, even!) businesses are vital to our financial economy (dif-

ficult to count, dangerous to underestimate), and contribute positively to our social and ecological context because their owners and decision-makers live here. We need a proactive government nurturing these entrepreneurial enterprises that connect and build sustainable benefits for our livelihoods, pocketbooks, and happiness.

We need a community centre in this community. This requires a clear vision of complex connections between thinking (learning what we need), conversing (what do we want?) and doing (let’s not

let historical frustration hobble our progress any longer). Local government that facilitates only two of these isn’t adequate. Rather than increase taxes, let’s rally some champions, secure serious grants, leverage partnerships, and build ourselves a spectacular community centre that highlights potential agricultural crops, provides a commercial community kitchen, educates our children, and celebrates our place and potential!

Born in Grand Forks, I grew up in this community. My wife, Christine Carlson, and I returned

Area C Director My name is Grace McGregor. I was born and raised at Christina Lake so I know the community very well indeed. If you know me, you know that the wellbeing of Christina Lake is my passion.

Our family owned and operated Cascade Garage Ltd. for 35 years; Cascade Excavation doing forest road maintenance and hydro seeding; and Hummingbird Haven B&B. Operating businesses has given me an understanding of the importance of a strong year-round economy for a small rural community like ours.

In 2005 I was approached to run and was elected as regional district director for Christina Lake. I have been re-elected three times through acclamation.

Currently I am the chair of the Regional District of Kootenay-Boundary and I sit on nine regional, five local and three provincial committees. I take my role representing our community and our District very seriously. I am particularly pleased that the BC Rural Study that I have chaired for the last six years has led to a provincial governments’ support of creating a high level Rural

This motivates me to ensure that our community is prepared to support all of our residents ensuring that we maintain our high quality of life. In 2012 we were able to engage the services of a Community Co-ordinator. We then established Christina Gateway Community Development Association in order to bring the voices of all the major community organizations together to chart our course forward. We have made exceptional progress. I am particularly excited by our emerging community investment strategy.

I believe as an elected official it is my duty to attend community meetings and to answer all inquiries. I am available 24/7 so please be in touch with me if you have a question or an idea.

During this fully responsible (and insecure) period, I saw the potential of planning for and doing real good in our community. Please let me serve you with certainty and planned investment. Think about voting, talk about voting, and go vote.

School District 51

Area C Trustee

I am Cindy Strukoff and I am the SD51 School Trustee representing Christina Lake “Area C”.

Over the past three years I have worked hard to engage and be part of our school community. I am very excited to continue as trustee for the next four years as I am still very passionate about being an involved citizen in our education system and wish to continue my work in supporting public education for the children and families in School District 51.

Prior to becoming an SD51 school trustee, I was very involved in my children’s schools through parent advisory councils and the Boundary District Parent Advisory Council, of which I was the Chairperson for several years. The skills that I bring to the job are openness and transparency, a desire to create a stronger relationship with the community and our education partners, the desire to support students and teachers and a respect for diverse points of view.

I believe it is very important that we continue to advocate to our provincial government for increased, stable and consistent

funding to support our students. We must also continue to support our most vulnerable students and families so that they are able to be successful. I sit on our BISM (Boundary Integrated Services) board where we work together with other Boundary agencies to help address the challenges facing our communities.

As a result of declining enrollment we are challenged to meet the needs of all our students so we must, as a board, encourage and support our educators to be flexible and innovative in order to provide a relevant and engaging education to all our students.

I am very thankful that Christina Lake is continuing to support me in my role of their trustee. Over my past term I have been the representative for BCSPEA and BCSTA as well as sitting on the BCSTA Legislative Committee and Education Committee. I am also the SD51 representative on the Grand Forks Recreation Committee and the Boundary Integrated Services (BISM) board. I believe that trustees are directly accountable to the people they serve and as such I attend as many school events as possible in order to find ways to engage our school community so that they can help guide me in my decisions.

Grand Forks Gazette

School District 51 (Boundary) Candidates for

City of Grand Forks Trustee

Two to be elected

KEN HARSHENIN

I am very passionate about education, and I bring a wide variety of experiences to the table. I have been a Board of Education Trustee for School District No. 51 for the past nine years. Prior to this, I was a school teacher for 30 years. Toward the end of my teaching career, I spent many years at the negotiating table as a bargaining team member and as vice-president and president of the teachers’ association. I am running for office again because I believe that public education in B.C. is changing quickly and is at a crossroads. It is

vitally important that trustees bring experience, depth of knowledge and continuity to the table.

Despite many challenges, our district has done a good job of meeting those challenges and dealing with them to the best of our ability. But there is much more work to be done. Relationships with teachers have to be restored, confidence has to be rebuilt, and the board will have to work hard to make sure that we deal with the next set of challenges positively and competently.

As a board member, it’s impera-

tive that we continue to advocate for additional per student funding.

Trustees need to create the conditions for success by holding our educational system accountable.

We need to make sure that all children, regardless of background or circumstances, have the opportunity to grow and to develop to their full potential. The board needs to be supportive of our dedicated teachers and administrators, and needs to ensure adequate resources and support staff.

If I had to describe myself in three

words? Honest, responsible, reliable.

Currently, I am a British Columbia Public School Employers Association alternate representative. I sit on the Operations Committee, Finance Committee, Community Literacy Committee and the Okanagan Labour Relations Council. I also participate at the Hutton Elementary School PAC meetings as a liaison, and I am involved with the Grand Forks Secondary School Scholarship Committee. I would be honoured to once again represent the City of Grand Forks at the Board of Education table.

KATIE JEPSEN

I am running for School Trustee in the City of Grand Forks.

As a long time resident and business owner here I can appreciate what comes with the job of school trustee. Over the past 20 years of child care service I have been involved in the lives of over 300 families within our community.

I have a Bachelors Degree in Children’s Studies with an emphasis on Child Psychology and Counseling and past experience in teaching at both elementary

schools as well as GFSS. I am running for school trustee because I am a mother, a grandmother and a child care worker and I sincerely want the best for these children.

Child advocacy is my passion.

Becoming a school trustee will put me in a better position to help children and families in our community. It is imperative that our children have a safe learning environment.

I want to help provide that for our future leaders. Together we can put an end to bullying and create

safer schools. I will work with you to stand up for those who have become targets and ensure the cycle stops.

I also want to help teachers access all the available resources and support they need for more classroom time and better individual child growth.

These school years are critical in child development. I will work to make sure our schools are a safe place for our kids to grow, learn and become confident in who they are.

Vote for Katie Jepsen because “No one knows kids like Katie.”

JAIME MASSEY

My name is Jaime Massey. I am 33 years old and have lived in Grand forks nearly my whole life.

As a child I attended both Perley elementary and GFSS completing graduation in 1999. I am married to my husband (Sean) and we have two wonderful boys, Braden who is 10 and Jordan who is 8.

Through the years, I have been a stay at home mom while volunteering for the Community Christmas Hamper Program and I am currently in my second year as Perley Elementary PAC vice-

president.

Last year I started working as a noon hour supervisor at Perley which I discovered quickly was a very enriching experience. Spending so much more time with all of your children and grandchildren began to inspire me to do a little more and think about how I could make more of a difference.

That was when I decided to run for school trustee.

I am running for school trustee because I believe that I might be able to add a new perspective to

our board. I have children as well as nieces and nephews in our school system making me directly affected and accountable for the decisions our School board makes.

I want to see every child in our district succeed to the best of his or her ability. Education is so much more than just academics. We are creating and encouraging future adults.

We all need to work together for our children’s future. We need to ensure that our education system is working for them and that every little piece of that system can work

harmoniously together.

I hope you will give me a chance to represent you and your children on our school board by voting for me as trustee for the City of Grand Forks. Thank you.

TERESA REZANSOFF

My name is Teresa Rezansoff.

I am proud to call Grand Forks and the Boundary home. I graduated from Grand Forks Secondary School and my husband and I raised four wonderful children here.

I truly believe that students must come first, that communities count. A strong, vital public education system is vital to the well being of both our students and the communities in which we live.

We have much to be proud of in our school district with engaged

students, outstanding teachers, support staff and administrators, supportive parents and community members and dedicated and committed trustees. It takes the efforts and contributions of all of us to support our students in their learning and growth.

I recognize and believe in the very important connection that being an active community member has to the strength and resiliency of our communities. My family and I have volunteered with the Community Christmas Dinner. I spent

many happy hours volunteering in the classroom and was an active parent advisory council member. I spent over 10 years as a local and provincial volunteer with BC Special Olympics. Currently I volunteer as a director with Boundary Family Individual Services Society (BFISS) and the Grand Forks Art Gallery.

In addition to local trusteeship, I serve at the provincial level as the President of the BC School Trustees Association, but I am first and foremost a trustee here in school

district 51. My commitment to this district and its students has never wavered or been stronger.

Thank you for the support I have received in my role as a trustee. I care greatly about the children of the Boundary, their success and achievements and respectfully ask for your support to continue to work hard on theirs and your behalf.

Thank you

School District 51 (Boundary) Candidates for

Area D Trustee DAVID REID

One to be elected

My name is David Reid. I am married and have a 12-year-old son. Over the past three years I have enjoyed representing Area D as a School Trustee. In my first term I was voted onto the Provincial Education Committee by the Trustees of our Kootenay Boundary branch and participated in the Provincial Council as an alternate.

During my first term, the school district went through a teacher’s strike, hiring a Superintendent and a Director of Instruction, a major shuffle of Principal placements,

which brought the four school model in the West, explored a middle school model district wide, and another teacher’s strike.

Some definite issues the Board will have to work on this term are repairing teacher relationships that were damaged at the Provincial and local level. I know this will be achievable as we all share the same goal of what is best for students. I have a son in the system and see firsthand what a tremendous job our teachers do in the district.

With the enrollment level where

it’s at, it’s inevitable that we look at the issue of grouping kids together once again. This will probably come in the form of three grade blends in some of our schools over the next couple of years. To be successful, we need to make sure the schools can accommodate this, and have the tools they need in place.

It is impossible to know what will happen over the next four years but I have the proven experience of the last term to show that I have what it takes to navigate as part of a board, whatever may

VALERIE ALICE RICH Profile not submitted

come to that level. If I am voted in, I will continue to say and do the right thing for our students, even when it’s not necessarily popular, or in my own best interests.

‘Micro’ conference held SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

“By all appearances from responses around the province after Honourable Coralee Oakes, Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, introduced the Head Start-Grand Forks Project Progress Conference in her opening ceremony address at the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM), we knew we had succeeded!”

Councillor Cher Wyers proudly boosted.

The conference theme, “Leadership in Politics

By Women For Women” will take place in the spring of 2015 with funding support from the Women’s Institute of Canada.

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Head Start For Young Women-Grand Forks recently held their Project Progress “Micro” Conference on Oct. 4. In attendance from FCM’s Ottawa office was Melissa Newitt, coordinator for the one-year pilot program “Head Start For Young Women.”

Newitt presented completion certificates to the local participants on behalf of FCM and complimented the girls for their aggressive determination and talent in developing a shelf-ready conference that will be included in the final guide produced by FCM. The guide will provide a toolkit for local government communities across Canada in promoting and engaging youth participation in their community affairs.

Six communities from across Canada participated in the one-year pilot program including Bathurst, London, Ottawa, Gatineau, Rigolet and Grand Forks.

“We were the only community that took on a major conference focus,” Wyers stated, “with the intent in making the conference a provincewide Head Start initiative and providing every community with a toolkit to launch a Youth

Advisory Council.”

‘Micro’ conference presenter Grace McGregor, RDKB Area C Director, addressed public speaking techniques and joined the group for dinner at the Wooden Spoon following the presentation.

Roxanne Shepherd, chief financial officer for the City of Grand Forks, was instrumental in networking the conference idea around the province as well as providing mentorship in planning the conference budget. Shepherd presented the girls with their $800 stipend cheques on behalf of the city, an endorsement by council at the March 24 delegation presentation by project mentor Sue Adrain, archivist for the Boundary Museum and Interpretive Centre.

Teresa Taylor from the Boundary Women’s Resource Centre provided graphic design support and the facility for the many meetings throughout the year.

“It was easy attracting mentors for the project,” Wyers said, “with so many talented and professional women right here in our community.”

Community Futures Boundary General Manager Wendy McCulloch developed the conference agenda and coordinated the guest speakers with Jaclyn Salter, and Myrna Logan from Rotary added her expertise and enjoyed the conference planning discussions and protocol.

With the overwhelming support of many sponsors, guest speakers and mentor organizations who worked in developing the conference, an early 2015 date will be determined and solicited to all who responded to the initial invitation.

Project Progress is a ‘shelf-ready’ project delivering empowerment and connection to youth—an education on local government and how we as politicians and youth play a key role in community life. Watch for Project Progress announcement in 2015!

With a bigger floor area and more storage, the Whispers of Hope thrift store is doing better than ever in their new location. The soup kitchen, which is located in the back of the MAAP (multi-agency accommodation project) building, has also strongly benefited from the new digs.

To celebrate their first year in the new location, Whispers of Hope will be hosting a celebration this Saturday (Nov. 1) at the store.

“What we do here is run the community kitchen and the thrift store,” said Andre Boruck, coordinator for Whispers of Hope. “We’ve been running a thrift store for a few years before moving here but it wasn’t very successful. When we moved to our new location it changed quite a bit.”

Boruck said Whispers began in 1996 as Hands of Mercy. Before moving to the MAAP building last year, the kitchen and store was run out of a small building on Central Avenue and Second Street.

Boruck said the new building offers separate access through the back of the building to the soup kitchen.

“In the old location you had to walk through the kitchen and dining area to get to the thrift store,” he said. “Here the dining area is in the back of the building and the thrift store is in the front. It makes it much better for shopping.”

Boruck said that working with MAAP partners BETHS and Habitat for Humanity has been extremely beneficial. “We have this umbrella organization that is helping us access more funding and different things like that.”

Boruck said Whispers would not have been able to move into the new building without the partnerships. “The city sold this building to Habitat for Humanity and we’re subleasing it off of them,” he added.

The profits made from the thrift store allow the community kitchen to offer meals to those in need.

“We serve a hot meal every day,” said Boruck. “At 9 a.m. we open our doors.

Boundary Region Agricultural Workshops

People can come by and have a coffee and breakfast, which is mostly pastries and things like that. At 10:30 a.m. we have our hot meal and serve until about 11:30 a.m. and close around noon. We have quite a few people who come in and use that service for such a small town.”

Whispers of Hope have already served over 5,000 meals this year, he said, with an average of 26 meals per day.

“That’s been going up,” he said. “I don’t know if that’s just an indication of need or an awareness that were here. But it’s an interesting trend.”

The kitchen is open year round from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. until noon.

The store (also open year round) is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Although there is paid staff at the store and kitchen, Boruck said they do rely heavily on volunteers. He also added that Whispers has looked at opening the community kitchen on weekends and/ or having evening meals, but at this time they just don’t have the funding or volunteers.

“We have a lot of volunteers,” he said.

“We have a handful that are here a lot. We have a bunch that are on the list but come and go. Those people make this place run.”

Boruck said they try to have six people at the thrift store during the day to be able to handle the volume of clothes coming in and to sort and price them.

“Everything that’s here has been do-

nated from the community and must be sorted,” he said.

For the kitchen, much of the food is donated. Any food that needs to be bought, is purchased with money made from the thrift store, said Boruck.

“The idea is that the thrift store supports the soup kitchen,” he said. “We’re a non-profit so it’s all going back into the community.”

Boruck said the kitchen is much bigger and better in the new location. Whispers has been able to bring in new and improved equipment and a bigger and better staff in the kitchen.

“We used to be in a very cramped building with no room for storage,” he said. “Coming here, we have a new kitchen, new cupboards, and a new fridge—all that has allowed us to do a better job.”

The work Whispers of Hope does in the community has not gone unrecognized; in fact, recently they won an award at the Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce small business awards for community impact.

To celebrate one year in the new building, Whispers of Hope is hosting an open house and one-year anniversary on Saturday (Nov. 1) in the new location.

The event starts at 10 a.m. and everyone is invited. The thrift store will be open will some great deals, said Boruck. The shelter (BETHS) and community kitchen will be open to anyone who wants to take a look.

Nathan Cirillo in Hamilton, Ontario. Cirillo is one of two soldiers killed in targeted attacks on Canadian soil recently—the other, Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent.

Campaign raises funds for literacy CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

If you can read this newspaper that means that at some point in your life you learned how to read. Unfortunately, not everyone has been so fortunate. Imagine not being able to read a paper, or a novel, or a menu, or a bill. For many people, that’s their reality. Fortunately, groups like the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) run programs to help people of all ages improve their reading skills.

To bring awareness to literacy, and to raise much needed funds, CBAL Boundary, in partnership with the Grand Forks Gazette, held Reach a Reader Day in Grand Forks on Oct. 8.

“We also have an anthology project we would love to do a printing of with writings from children in the schools,” she said. “There are a number of projects and programs that are under-resourced that we will be directing these funds too.”

In all, $870 was raised through Reach a Reader in the Boundary this year. Dobie said people can still donate online using a new system at www.CBAL.org by clicking on the donate button and choosing Boundary community. For October, all donations will be matched by the Bienfaisance Foundation. “Huge thanks to all those who participated in the day,” said Dobie. “Thanks to the Border Bruins who did a fabulous job and to all the folks who helped out.”

Gazette staff, Border Bruin hockey players and city councillors selling papers, giving out information about literacy programs and collecting donations to help fund those programs. The Reach a Reader tables were set up outside of Overwaitea, Buy-Low Foods and the Gazette office.

There was also a table in Greenwood on Oct. 9 in front of the Boundary Creek Times office.

“We’re raising funds for community literacy— that’s what it’s all about,” said Sheila Dobie, community literacy coordinator for CBAL in Grand Forks. “We have Boundary literacy programs for families and adults. These funds help us build our program budget up so we can do more in the communities in the Boundary.”

Dobie said the money raised this year will likely allow CBAL in Grand Forks to

Councillor candidates centre, said the city needs to be “open for business, not hoping for business.”

“We need to get specific about what kind of business we want here and what kind of industry. We don’t want companies that are going to destroy our rivers or our air quality.”

Monique Van Eywk said the city should look to the past.

“Right now everyone is looking for GMO (genetically modified organism) free seeds,” she said. “Why are we not looking at becoming a distributor for those vegetable seeds? We are a border town—we need to look into importing and exporting industries. We are a main town for transportation and we need to build on that.”

Christine Thompson, a former councillor who ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 2009, said that no one wants to see empty store fronts on Market Avenue.

“If we’re going to encourage small business to come and set up in our city we have to support them,” she said.

“Too often people are taking their money and spending it outside the city.”

Cathy Korolek, a local small business owner and Rotarian, said she has been in business here for 15 years and intends to stay, but needs the support of the community.

“I love what I do, I love my town,” she said. “We need to develop these boutique stores as Nelson does and we need to support them.”

If residents keep going elsewhere (to shop) for everything, there won’t be any businesses left, said Korolek.

One issue that came up throughout the answers was that of the importance or non-importance of where a candidate lives. A candidate does not have to live in the area he is running for.

Teresa Taylor said all valley residents consider themselves residents of Grand Forks whether they live in the city limits or Area D. “We need a community vision that extends beyond those boundaries and recognized that what is good for Grand Forks is good for a lot of people in the Boundary,” she said.

Local farmer Colleen Ross stated that her vision of Grand Forks doesn’t include a McDonalds or Walmart.

“What we need to do is continue to really support the businesses that are already here,” she said. “I farm right here.

I’m all about arts and music and theatre.

We have so much to offer here. I think we need to capitalize on that.”

Larry Podmoroff said that the city

Continued from page A1

needs to stop wasting money.

“I think we have to start where the problem is: in the city offices,” he said.

“We’ve got a lot of expenses we don’t need. We need work done, not coffee breaks.”

Richard Fausten told the audience that he has a strong background in business. He had assisted city council in Richmond for four years as business development consultant, he said.

Some questions clearly put councillors on the spot.

One audience member asked incumbent candidate Patrick O’Doherty how he could say he wanted to protect the people from tax increases when he voted for a tax increase.

O’Doherty responded by saying he voted to lower taxes for Interfor and Roxul.

“These industries hire 500 people here and if you keep raising their taxes they will end up leaving town and the business people in town will be hurt,” he said.

The controversial water meter installation project did not go unsaid. One resident asked why the project went forward when there was a petition with over 800 signatures against it.

Butler, who has long been opposed to the project, said that the city is locked into a contract with Neptune and “we’re not even allowed to see it.”

“I’d like the city to put a moratorium on it until the town can be properly consulted,” she said. “I don’t think people have the right to go into people’s home and force their way in. Give the people the choice.”

Incumbent candidate and former mayor Neil Krog said he has supported the water meter project since the start for reasons such as conservation and the protection of a valuable resource.

“To date more than 1,200 meters have been installed or booked to be installed,” he said. “The public has been very supportive of the project. We’ve had very few complaints and any complaints have been addressed.”

Thompson stated that she understood that the petition was presented to the city in “dribs and drabs.”

“I have reasonably asked to see the petition to compare the names to the voter’s list and was advised I would have to go through the Freedom of Information Act,” she said.

Another topic which came up, which is linked to the economic strength issue, is one of how the city can attract and retain young people.

Trustee candidates stance in the recent teacher strike.

Rezansoff replied by stating that her role as president of the BCSTA should be kept separate from her role with the local board of trustees.

“The labour dispute we went through was difficult for everyone,” she said. “The strike/lockout wasn’t anything anyone wanted. What we as a board wanted was to get to a resolution through negotiation.”

Another question brought up by the audience was about how trustees would go about advocating for more funding for key programs.

Jamie Massey responded by saying that kids are the most important asset in our school system.

“Right now I am learning about the role of school trustees and what they

Incumbent candidate Michael Wirischagin talked about how he brought forward the motion for the outdoor athletic park at GFREC. “We need to be able in terms of businesses and creating jobs in the community we need to have younger families move here with kids,” he said. “Once you have that you can build on the infrastructure to facilitate that.”

Baun Mark, a local business owner, stated that he thinks the community really needs more things for the youth to do.

“I’m all for supporting things that are going to give our youth things to do,” he said.

Zak Eburne-Stoodley, who is running for the third time, said you have to encourage businesses that are sustainable.

“Have a coffee shop/bistro during the day and a night club at night,” he suggested. “That’ll definitely keep people here.”

As a young person, Eburne-Stoodley talked about how tough it can be finding employment.

“There’s just no jobs for youth,” he said. “We need to attract businesses that’ll keep youth here. (We need to) talk to potential investors.”

Incumbent candidate Gary Smith also talked about the importance of keeping families in Grand Forks. He suggested the formation of a youth council to keep youth engaged in the community.

One of the more interesting questions from the audience was about the marijuana dispensary on 68th Avenue. The resident asked why local homeowners were not notified and exclaimed, “What’s next? Pedophiles?”

Krog bravely took up the question and replied: “The city has nothing to do with where business is. The way business works, if someone wants to open a business and it’s zoned properly, you don’t need to notify your neighbours.”

With four incumbents out of a slate of 16 running for councillor, the election will no doubt prove interesting.

Voting day in B.C. is Nov. 15 at Perley Elementary gym at 1200 Central Ave. from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. There will also be special voting opportunities at Phoenix Manor, Boundary Lodge, Boundary Hospital and Hardy View Lodge and Silver Kettle for their residents, patients and staff working that day.

Advanced voting is available on Nov. 5 and Nov. 12 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the RDKB office at 2140 Central Ave. in Grand Forks.

do,” she said, “but I would absolutely advocate for support for all children that need it.”

Val Rich, who is running against incumbent David Reid in Area D, spoke about the importance of assessing kids.

“If you don’t get those kids assessed those teachers are in trouble,” she said.

“The students are in class now and the teachers are teaching but how do you do that without an assessment or some kind of plan in place?”

Asked about what issue trustees would like to tackle most if elected, incumbent Ken Harshenin said the biggest concern is the lack of funding for students.

“We have not been receiving adequate funding especially if we want to start developing more courses,” he said.

Rezansoff added that she would like to see a learning plan in place for every student in the district.

“We’ve started on something like that but if we could started as soon as a student entered school in kindergarten,” she said. It would be something that would follow them as they went through school, said Rezansoff.

Incumbent David Reid talked about the unfortunate decision of having to blend different grades into one classroom.

“I know we’re looking at declining enrollments,” said Reid. “This is not easy for the parents. I think the kids take it a lot easier than the adults sometimes.”

Reid said teachers need to be armed with the proper tools to make sure it’s successful.

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Selkirk College is inviting prospective students to come take a peek at what their future could hold.

The annual open house at the Castlegar Campus goes Nov. 4 between 4 and 6:30 p.m. Secondary students from across the West Kootenay and Boundary are invited to come to the campus to explore the more than 60 programs offered. Parents, high school teachers, career counsellors and all members of the public are also encouraged to check out what Selkirk has available.

“When thinking about post-secondary options, it’s always important to get a first-hand look,” says Amy Byers, educational recruitment specialist for Selkirk College. “Coming to the open house is a great way to start or continue your exploration of what is available at all our campuses in the West Kootenay/Boundary.”

Selkirk College will have representatives from all programs on hand to provide information and answer questions. Programs from all eight campuses throughout the West Kootenay and Boundary will be featured.

Also attending the open house will be admissions officers, financial aid, Aboriginal services, counsellors and current Selkirk students who will act as tour guides. There will be interactive and informative displays set up in the Castlegar Campus “pit” for prospective students to browse. Faculty will be in attendance to chat about some of the amazing educational opportunities that exist.

“This is one of the highlights of our year at Selkirk College,” Byers said. “Getting to meet and speak with students from our region who want to take advantage of the outstanding opportunities available in their Kenneth Mackenzie Shirley, 77, born in Kingston, home communities is Jamaica, died Tuesday, October 21, 2014 at Boundary really important and at Hospital, Grand Forks, B.C.

Silver Kettle ‘evacuates’ Firefighters Brady Tralnberg and Darcy Skerritt (back) help Silver Kettle Village resident Eleanor Thiessen escape the building during an evacuation drill on Oct. 17. Holding the door is Silver Kettle employee Denise Erlandsen. The evacuation drill is done annually by the care home. This is the first year that Grand Forks Fire/Rescue has participated. All 82 residents were evacuated from the building with the help of firefighters and staff members. “We were approached by Silver Kettle management to assist them with an evacuation drill and we gladly accepted,” said Fire Chief Dale Heriot. “We’ve been working on it for awhile. We managed to evacuate both the independent side and assisted side in under 10 minutes which is very, very good.”

Firefighter honoured

Historical society survives into another year The Boundary Historical Society was able to elect a board at Saturdays’ annual general meeting. Finding volunteers has been a problem for some time and the last three years the society has been faced with the threat of dissolving. However, stepping forward this year are: President Les Johnson, Vice-President Janet Matsalla, Treasurer John Billwiller, Secretary Doreen Sorensen, and Directors Pat Zorn and Cher Wyers.
