There was a good turnout at the first annual Grand Forks Fall Fair event on Saturday. Attendees got to taste fresh Pacific Ocean oysters prepared different ways by Brent Petkau, aka the Oyster Man. Popular duo Vazzy provided musical accompaniment. All the proceeds from the event went to the fall fair.

Rancher won’t be charged with cruelty CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Fall fair hosts Shuck and Cluck

Crown council in Nelson has rejected charges laid forward by the SPCA of animal cruelty to a local Almond Gardens Road East rancher.

The charges were recommended after a raid on the ranch on December 2013 in which SPCA officers executed a search warrant. As a result of the raid, 10 horses were removed and two were destroyed.

SPCA investigators concluded their investigation in March of 2014 and submitted charges to Crown under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. “We had recommended charges back in March and they were not approved by Crown so we have not had additional seizures or warrants executed on the proper-

ty,” said Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer of the B.C. SPCA. “They go through their test of likelihood for a successful prosecution and whether it is in the best interest of the public. So when they weighed both of those they felt, unfortunately, that there wasn’t enough evidence for charge approval.”

Moriarty said the SPCA respects the Crown’s decision and can’t appeal the decision.

She added that if the SPCA receives any calls of concern and the animals are found to be in distress, the animal owner would be given an opportunity to relieve that distress. “If they fail to do that there are opportunities to seek a warrant or if they’ve complied the file is closed,” she said.

Moriarty would not confirm if there had been any recent searches on the ranch.

Feedback clarified

Gazette Staff

City water utility customers can indeed submit feedback on more than what was identified in a consulting firm’s report.

A City of Grand Forks ad in last week’s Gazette said feedback would be accepted on the report compiled by consulting firm Urban Systems regarding water meter project options; however, the motion made at the June 15 Committee of the Whole (COTW) meeting of city council actually said feedback would be invited “regarding collection of more options.”

Specifically, the motion reads: “Resolved that the COTW receive and refer back to staff and public, who are city water utility customers, for written input of no more than 500 words per letter, with one submission per person, regarding collection of more options; and, further, bring forward to the July 20 meeting and to be received by no later than June 25 at 4 p.m. and clearly titled ‘Water Meter Input’ to info@grandforks.ca or hand delivered to the front desk of City Hall.”

The city released this statement: “The City of Grand Forks apologizes for any confusion the previous ad may have caused. We are looking forward to receiving your feedback regarding more options for water meters.”

1995 Grand Forks City Council voted in favor of lifting a moratorium on large subdivisions. City administrator Phil Taylor said the moratorium should be lifted since a development cost charge had been adopted, and the new sewage treatment plant should be in place to prevent any possible environmental problems cropping up as a result of the lifting of the moratorium. The city applied the moratorium in September 1994 because the city’s infrastructure was at risk of becoming overloaded.

2000 At the 11th hour, the City of Grand Forks declined a motion to buy the Broadacres property for $375,000.

While the votes in favour outnumbered those against, the motion failed to gain the necessary twothirds support needed for such financial matters.

Expecting the sale to pass, the fall fair society has been making plans for the site and had hoped to get ideas from the public about the different ways Broadacres could be used by community groups.

2005 This year’s Relay For Life, which was held at the USCC, raised a stunning $60,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.

This total is up from the already impressive $48,000 taken in at last year’s relay.

Recycling bins may be removed

Gateway blessed ANDREW TRIPP

Boundary Creek Times Reporter

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) is considering removing its downtown Grand Forks recycling location. The bins need to be moved from the fire hall rear parking lot to accommodate a new, larger fire truck.

Councillor Neil Krog gave the information as part of his report on the RDKB board, on which he sits as representative for the City of Grand Forks, at the regular council meeting on June 15.

If the bins are removed, residents would then have to use curbside recycling or take their recycling to bins already located at the landfill. Krog said that he is fighting to keep the depot downtown at a different location.

“If we need to relocate it to allow for emergency vehicle access, is there a place downtown we can relocate to, because it is well used,” said Krog. “When you look at the RDKB’s policies regarding unmanned sites it makes sense that if we are going to take it out they would rather just consolidate everything up at the landfill rather than relocate and pay all the extra costs associated.”

Krog said the cost to move the bins to an alternate site would be around $10-20,000 for infrastructure (concrete bin pads, fencing). There would also be an expected annual cost of an estimated $9,600 for maintaining the unmanned site. “I would like to see it (stay) downtown but the way things are going it’s probably not going to exist in the downtown core,” he said.

A staff report from Alan Stanley, general manager of environmental services for the RDKB, stated that the depot does not qualify for Multi Material B.C. (MMBC) subsidies and is operated at the sole expense of the RDKB. Stanley further stated that due to ongoing and previously document problems with unstaffed waste management sites, the RDKB board adopted a Solid Waste Management Facilities Siting Policy, whose objectives included directing the majority of solid waste facilities customers to staff facilities. Since the policy was adopted, six unstaffed facilities have been closed.

“Considering the close proximity to a staffed facility and the duplication of service, the recycling depot at the Grand Forks Landfill easily meets policy requirements and provides adequate depot service to the Grand Forks area,” said Stanley in the report.

The report recommends that the downtown recycling depot be shifted to the depot at the landfill and that the downtown depot be permanently closed.

Staff from the RDKB will be entering into discussions with staff from the city and will report back to the regional district’s environmental services committee. John MacLean, RDKB chief administrative officer, expects that the matter will come before the RDKB board of directors sometime in the fall.

A Heartfelt

Thank You The Saini family would like to thank all of our Indo-Canadian friends & families for helping us to celebrate our 3rd Annual Father’s Day Event on Sunday, June 21. Without your help and participation it wouldn’t have been possible.

We would like to thank the media – the Grand Forks Gazette and Mountain FM for promoting the event.

We would also like to thank Buy-Low Foods, RTM Heating & Plumbing and the Rotarian members that came out to help.

We had a very successful and positive day, providing traditional East Indian food to over 500 people.

Above all, we would like to thank all who attended.

Thanks to you we raised $3,232.21 which will be donated to the Spray Park Rotary Club.

God Bless everybody, and hope to see you all next year.

A special event in Midway last Thursday brought together students from all Boundary schools for the official opening of the Gateway Learning Circle.

First Nations artist David Seven Deers’ project was several years in the making, and finally realized during a moving ceremony conducted by numerous dignitaries and the artist himself.

Designed to be a learning destination for Boundary students, the installation, set in Entwined Trees Park, is comprised of a massive stone gateway and a highly polished black raven sculpture, encircled by 20 blocks of stone, each featuring a chiselled animal motif.

School District 51’s director of learning Doug Lacey, one of the primary architects of the Gateway, spoke of Seven Deers dedication to the project, which was produced very economically, money wise, but required hundreds of hours on the artists part to complete.

Lacey said, “David Seven Deers was introduced to me well over a year ago as an aboriginal author and storyteller. He had been speaking to primary classes across the Boundary for several years. This was always done outside, in a circle, around a fire.

“He was soon speaking to me about a vision he had for the children of the Boundary, and this vision is before you today. It represents a gateway to the world, to learning, to community, to understanding each

other, with ‘mother raven’ presiding at the head of the circle.

“Over many, many conversations with David this past very busy year, I have truly come to understand the depth of his mantra, ‘everything happens for a reason.’ When our district aboriginal education teachers Wanda Hecht and Marilyn Hanson were visiting with David and his family at their mountain property between Greenwood and Midway, their exclamations about one of his small sculptures led to his vision for the Gateway. ‘Everything happens for a reason.’

Lacey continued, “When the Village of Midway Mayor Randy Kappes invited David and I to come out here to see this beautiful park as a potential home for heelah (raven), I looked around and could see Boundary Central Secondary, Midway Elementary, the beautiful hills above us,

the entwined trees, the original Midway one-room school right there.

“The winter before David and I met, I had participated in a talking circle with many community aboriginal elders and heard their wish for a physical gathering place like a friendship centre or an identifiable meeting place and for me this Gateway has become a symbolic first step.”

Kappes said the village was extremely honoured to have such an impressive artwork installed in its midst, and that residents would derive much pleasure from it in the years to come.

Seven Deers himself spoke in length about his personal journey both as an aboriginal and an artist, and his hopes for the future in relationships amongst all Canadians.

His installation undoubtedly represents one huge step in the right direction.

Indo-Canadians host special lunch It was another successful Father’s Day celebration featuring authentic East Indian food on Sunday at the Saini residence. The event, which was put on by the Indo-Canadian community of Grand Forks, drew over 500 people and raised $3,232 for the Rotary Spray Park. Serving up were (from left): Ravi Menon, Sue Saini, Balbir Saini, Jim Burch of the Grand Forks Rotary Club, Atender Nagra, Balwant Sandhu and Raj Khehra.

your news view

Closing depot makes sense With the fire department’s new fire truck expected to arrive soon, the days of the downtown recycle depot are numbered.

While this would seem to be a hardship for many in Grand Forks, it is only four minutes to the landfill, which accepts recycling as well as waste items such as tires, scrap metal and clean wood waste. Admittedly, the landfill is only open on certain days at certain times (Tuesday to Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Many local residents including Councillor Neil Krog, who sits on the RDKB board of directors as well as the RDKB’s environment services committee, would like to see the recycle depot move to another downtown location. Although the matter has yet to be decided by the board, it would appear unlikely that the RDKB will support moving the downtown recycle depot.

Would the City of Grand Forks fork over all the money to move the recycling depot to a different downtown location and operate it as a city service? Seems unlikely given the huge expense and given that it is traditionally an RDKB service.

In recent years, the board has closed unmanned recycling depots in six Kootenay Boundary locations.

With all residential users in Grand Forks having curbside recycling collection, it makes sense to save money and not relocate the downtown depot. For commercial users, the quick trip to the landfill depot is easy enough and offers the same downtown depot services as well as additional services.

One of the major complaints is that some residents will just not bother making the trek up Granby Road and dump their recycling in the woods or in the river.

Anyone who has that little regard for the environment probably doesn’t need much excuse to litter anyway.

Why do we love our cats so much?

Reckonings DELLA MALLETTE Why does a cat enjoy hours outside and then come in to use its litter box?

Why, when you let a cat out on a two-door balcony, does the cat scratch to come in at the door that DOESN’T have a special cat door?

A better question yet: why, after you clean your house because the realtor is bringing someone over, and you return a few hours later to see a gory, feathered mess at the door—somehow you just know that was what the realtor and company saw first?!

Okay, so now you know some of what’s happening at my house thanks to Frankie, Hycoo and Lucy. And most cat owners will have asked themselves these very same questions. And most

cat owners shake their heads and will open the door, clean the litter box, and pick up the remains of the grouse, bird, rodent, whatever was lunch that day.

Because we love our cats.

We’ve had dogs over the years, and they’re wonderful too, in different ways. But if I feel the need for some canine companionship, I can go to the neighbour’s. They’ve got plenty.

Cats are in every nook and corner of our society, libraries being one of the most notable places. There are some libraries in Canada that have cats, but the most celebrated library feline in North America was Dewey Readmore Books of Spencer, Iowa.

I found many others.

Researching library cats took me to an interesting website: ironfrog.com. The site belongs to filmmaker and comedian Gary Roma of Iron Frog Productions in Williamsburg, Mass.

The website actually has a map of where to find library

cats. The Timberland Regional Library in Amanda Park, Wash. has four cats: Stella, Grayfur, Thunder, and Cloud. I don’t know if their predecessors were Lightning and Strike, but it’s a good bet.

I watched a TV news program recently that featured a library that went a step further: the local humane society set up an enclosure near the circulation desk, and patrons could “sign out” a cat, and take a book and their furry friend and find a quiet corner. Patrons find the cats therapeutic, and report leaving the library feeling much more relaxed.

Sometimes they leave with a kitty who needs a forever home.

Last week I sat for a spell in at a local coffee shop and found a story in the Province (thanks for the paper!) about a study conducted by Gail Myrick, an assistant professor at Indiana University and a researcher into media’s emotional effects.

In the event of an error, that portion of the advertising space occupied by the erroneous item, together with reasonable allowance for signature, will not be charged for and shall be printed once – the advertiser should alert The Gazette of the error as quickly as possible.

Myrick recruited 7,000 people for a lengthy online questionnaire about when, where and why they watch cat videos.

No matter the personal variables, however, people reported feeling more energetic, happier and less stressed after watching a video of a cat—even when they felt guilty about it because they were supposed to be doing something else.

Many stores have cats, and I have to admit, it’s a bigger draw than a sale.

Offices have cats, too. It’s too bad our doors are constantly opening and some days we have too much traffic to keep a cat around.

In libraries, in offices, online—there’s no doubt about it, cats are, well, the cat’s meow.

But I’ll sign off now, it’s time to give my trio their Temptation treats. And I reckon they’ll want outside. And then they’ll want in the door without the cat flap, to come in to use the litter box.

Opinion

New actions Whitetail on range not at capacity to stop mussels Letters

Editor, The Gazette: Deer Committee members Norm Walker and Barry Brandow do not support a whitetail deer cull.

The deer cull will obviously give British Columbians the impression that the whitetail deer on their historic range is at carrying capacity when the exact opposite is the case.

The hunter testimonials plus two 1987 reports by biologists Al Peatt and Bob Lincoln which you can find on wildlifeheritageforever.com showcase the collapse of integrity in the management of the Boundary deer herd.

The one quote of many that gives perspective to the argument is found in biologist Bob Lincoln’s report titled Deer Harvest Man-

to the editor

agement in the Okanagan: Past Results and Future Directions, ”In the Okanagan where roads are abundant suggesting a potential for localized over harvest and where the wildlife management staffing capacity does not allow for careful monitoring of local deer herd status it is prudent to be fairly conservative in harvest strategy”.

In 1987 the whitetail buck rifle season was 67 days and the whitetail doe season consisted of a conservative number of limited entry hunting permits.

With 10 times the access and great numbers of quad bike hunters, the whitetail buck rifle season was extended during the rut when they are most vulnerable to 82

days and the three-week whitetail doe rifle season has decimated the population.

In spite of all the credible anecdotal information, three provincial biologists who have attended deer committee meetings have been steadfast that the whitetail deer have not been ruthlessly exploited.

Are the three biologists incompetent or are they taking counsel from their fear because their terms of employment will not tolerate criticism of their employer? Either way our province is farther away than ever of having honest, intelligent conversations about the management of our natural resources!

Barry Brandow, Grand Forks

Referendum should have been held Editor, The Gazette: When $1.3 million of taxpayers’ money is spent on water meter installation, it should have gone to referendum. The taxpayer wasn’t asked for their input, we were told that it was mandatory to get a water meter. We were not given a choice!

Having spoken to the city operations manager (Roger Huston at the time) two times about the water meters, I did not get any satisfacto-

ry answers to my questions, if certified plumbers and carpenters were being used? I was informed by the operations manager that they were water meter installers!

The other assurance I asked for, in writing, from the government and the City of Grand Forks that my husband’s medical conditions would not deteriorate further from the radiation the meters put out.

I never got an answer from the operations manager.

In closing we would like to make it known that we are strictly against the water meters and the way it was handled!

Having five generations living in this town, I have seen a steady decline of services and an increase of taxation for utilities being beyond affordable for the senior citizens of this town.

Elaine Lea, Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette: I’ve been following the challenges of council for some time now and confess that I dislike hearing our community’s difficulties aired on CBC. Recently, local citizens have been talking about the wisdom of having Councillor Butler resign to be reelected through a byelection process.

This seems like an elegant solution to a painfully-divisive problem that’s in danger of poisoning council long into the future.

Councillor Butler described herself in a radio interview this week as representing “the people,” presumably those who feel disenfranchised and ill treated and want a louder

voice at City Hall.

However, we have five other equally concerned and able councillors, who also represent “the people” with an equally compelling mandate. They have found working relations on council untenable with Councillor Butler at the table.

An inexpensive, timely byelection process would achieve several ends at once: • It would give an accurate measure of the support the councillor can draw on if she continues to champion controversial views.

• It would save the city from an expensive and lengthy legal process that our citizens can ill-afford. This

choice would help Councillor Butler protect the interests of those she represents.

• It would also save Councillor Butler from financial pain if the legal challenge doesn’t favour her, resulting in job loss at a time when she will bear substantial court costs.

• Even if one or two others saw this byelection as an opportunity to run, it would narrow the field from the 16 candidates that voters had to wade through last time, offering a real opportunity for us all to hear the depth and breadth of Councillor Butler’s beliefs.

Invasive zebra and quagga mussels have never been detected in British Columbia’s waters and, with the addition of our new strengthened mussel early detection and rapid response program announced earlier this year, we are stepping up co-ordinated efforts to keep the province invasive mussel free.

Our strengthened inFrom Victoria vasive mussel defence MARY POLAK program currently underway includes three Minister of Environment mobile decontamination units, six trained auxiliary conservation officers, expanded monitoring for zebra and quagga mussels and increasing “Clean, Drain, Dry” education and outreach activities.

Through the new program, teams are now on B.C. roads performing boat and boat trailer inspections and, as necessary, decontaminating boats entering B.C. The teams are also responding to boats identified as a concern by the Canadian Border Services Agency, as well as U.S. partner agencies. Mobile units have the flexibility to provide extended coverage near border crossings and throughout the province, especially on popular, high-traffic routes.

When interacting with the public, the teams are educating citizens about the dangers of invasive aquatic species and how to prevent them from entering the province’s waterways. Additionally, we have increased other educational and outreach activities and twenty-four new highway signs featuring the “Clean, Drain, Dry” program have been installed at significant entry points into the province.

Allowing us to develop and test this delivery model this summer will help us in creating a sustainable, expanded mussel prevention program by building capacity, experience and additional partnerships. We will continue to develop these partnerships to reach our goal of expanding the program over the long term.

Stopping the invasion of zebra and quagga mussels requires a concerted effort from jurisdictions and agencies near and far. B.C. is already working with partner agencies in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Nevada, as well as Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, to ensure information is immediately exchanged when mussel-infested boats are detected.

Together with these other jurisdictions, we are coordinating training for our frontline staff, and are also coordinating the timing and locations of boat wash stations. We also support new federal legislation allowing Canadian Border Services Agency staff to check and detain musselinfested boats at the southern border.

Local governments are being encouraged to join the defence against zebra and quagga mussels by promoting education and awareness of the dangers of these invasive species. We applaud those local organizations already actively participating to keep these invasive species out of B.C. I strongly urge all recreational boaters to familiarize themselves with the “Clean, Drain, Dry” program so they can also do their part to keep B.C. invasive mussel free.

Preventing invasive mussel species from entering our province is crucial to protecting our waterways. Our goal is to see B.C. remain free from invasive mussels.

Councillors wrecking town

Editor, The Gazette: I second the vote of nonconfidence in the five members of city council. I really don’t know what they think they are doing, but it’s not doing Grand Forks any good. They are wrecking this town.

I support Councillor Butler.

She is the only real voice of the people, as far as I’m concerned.

We as taxpayers will now have to pay for the Supreme Court legal action that will come up from their attempt to get rid of Councillor Butler. She hasn’t done anything wrong, has even given up her yard business to be 100 per cent in the clear, but for some reason council still is proceeding.

What a tremendous waste.

But then again, they seem to be good at waste, considering the $192,000 they handed over to CAO Doug Allin. Nice tip, eh!

And then there’s something strange and very concerning going on in the background... on the video of the last city council meeting the morning of June 15, on gftv.ca, you can see the former mayor, seated in the back row, signaling, by drawing his finger across his neck, to one of the current council members, possibly meaning to “cut off’ one of the public that was addressing the council.

There was also a motion in council that day to get more input from residents about how to proceed with water meters.

If you saw the ad in the paper

last week that is supposed to come from the motion, it is not the same at all. It was changed.

Who was behind this? And why? Shouldn’t council be concerned that their motion wording was taken and altered to mean something else?

What is really happening in this town? Who is really running things? What is wrong with this picture? I think we have a council completely out of control. They don’t have to report to anyone, and this needs to change, someone needs to keep them in line. We can’t just have them doing anything they want all the time.

It’s gotten ridiculous.

Patrick Lewis, Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette: If I were to try to force something on you, or corner you into something, I am guessing...

You might plead with me.

You might feel sad, depressed and powerless. You might reluctantly submit.

You might publicly express your pain. You might join with others to try to get your needs met. You might feel hurt and angry.

Forcing has the high likelihood of leading to hurt feelings and straining our relationship.

Forcing something now on you could mean we have difficulty working together in the future.

It could be a very sad situation.

This is clearly an “I win; you lose” situation, and it is actually an “I lose; you lose” situation.

About water meters...

Did you know that the water meter engineering reports say we have a good supply of water? The 2005 Drought Management Plan states, “Water conservation would appear a difficult sell to the residents of Grand Forks considering they

have an abundant supply of high quality water, even during significant drought periods.”

The 2011 Grand Forks Water Demand Management report states, “In Grand Forks, water supply is very good as the source aquifer is highly productive.”

And, did you know that when a calculation of our residential use of water was made, it likely included some of industry’s water? This is evident when comparing our 2010 and 2011 engineering reports.

Also, did you know that our city’s water use has been going down over the years? In 2014, Grand Forks pumped 1.8 million m³ LESS from its wells than it did in 2006.

We are clearly not in an emergency situation with water in Grand Forks.

But, learning water conservation is still wise, because it is the responsible thing to do to be earth friendly and it could save our city money. It could give our city the chance to apply for grants to replace infrastructure

(city pipes, pumps, etc.) There are so many fun and interesting ways our city could learn about and work towards water conservation that haven’t been tried yet.

Residential water meters with increasing water prices are not necessary for water conservation. What it takes is a commitment of the heart, of the mind, and taking action.

I am hoping we can work towards a win-win-win, a win for those who want water meters in their homes, a win for those who don’t want water meters in their homes, and a win for beautiful Grand Forks!

I urge all residents in Grand Forks to write City Hall by June 25, 4 p.m., and tell them you don’t want any more forcing, that you want a fair and considerate outcome for all regarding water meters and water conservation.

Title your letter “Water Meter Input” to ensure your wishes are presented to council.

Donna Semenoff, Grand Forks

Write City Hall by Friday 4 p.m.

Watch present politicians carefully Editor, The Gazette: I see that Grand Forks City Council is once again providing a hearty entertainment for us all with their secretive incamera and general in-fighting over yet more issues which leave most of us aghast!

However, I see something positive for us all in this latest show, and that is that they provide us with a political education which in fact extends beyond considerations of mere civic politics, and that is how to make our selections as a voter in all future elections.

I have always been a proponent of choosing any given candidate not in terms of his/ her promises for the rosy future anticipated in the event of a win, but rather of his/her record to date—what has been

the contribution in past holdings of office?

In the present instance, I suggest it is important for all future voters to look carefully at current contributions of each and every council member as the business is conducted day by day. I would hope that the silliness exhibited by many of the present council will not go unremembered in the next civic election, just as I would earnestly hope the same for the so-called “senior” governments of the province and the nation.

Wanna-bes will promise you the moon during the election madness, but AFTER the elections is the time to be making our decisions for the NEXT elections—once they’ve grabbed the ring, there’s not much you can do as they hide

behind complex obfuscations, pursue their previously secret agendas, and otherwise involve themselves in programs of personal aggrandizement which have been so carefully hidden during the campaigns.

And so, I offer this heartfelt plea to one and all: PLEASE take the time to watch carefully the antics of our present politicians—in all levels of government, and use your observations to make a careful choice of how you intend to vote in the next election.

It is a source of constant amazement to me how some people end up in office time and time again—and it’s not their fault; it’s ours. In most cases, they’ve given us plenty of warning!

5. On Jan. 27, 2014, prior to being elected, the respondent appeared before the previous council and spoke against the water meter program. In speaking against the water meter program, Butler advised council that she operated her business (Eden Yardcare) within the city and that she had concerns regarding the water meter program in respect of the business, including the fact that the rates for water usage could be changed by council at any time. Butler expressed that the water meter program would have a negative impact on her business.

6. Since being elected to office (On Nov. 15, 2014), the respondent has attended meetings of council and participated in discussions and decision-making relating to the water meter program and, in particular,

7. The respondent requested to be and was subsequently appointed to the water rates select committee, which reports to council with recommendations as to water rates for residential owners.

8. On or about Feb. 16, council received a letter from CITYzens Oversight and Participation Project (COPP) raising concerns that the respondent may have a conflict of interest in relation to the water meter program and, in particular, to the rates. The letter raised concerns of the respondent’s statements at the Jan. 27 council meeting.

9. At its in-camera meeting on Feb. 23, council, including the respondent, received verbal legal advice for the city’s solicitor (Young Anderson) advising that the respondent had a pecuniary conflict of interest in relation to the water meter program and, in particular, the rates to be imposed by the city on resident property owners for water usage, as a result of their potential impact on her business. The solicitor advised that she abstain from participating in relation to the water meter program and, in particular, the rates to be imposed by the city.

10. At its in-camera meeting on April 7, council received written legal advice from the city’s solicitor again advising that the respondent had a pecuniary conflict of interest. The solicitor again advised the respondent should abstain from participating in relation to the water meter program.

11. The respondent attended the April 20 council meeting and participated in the discussion of and voted on first, second and third reading of the water regulation bylaw, which further implements the water meter program and establishes rates to be imposed by the city on residential property owners for water usage. The respondent voted against giving the bylaw first, second and third reading. The respondent did not declare a conflict of interest in relation to the water meter program or the bylaw.

12. The respondent attended the May 4 council meeting and participated in the discussion of and vote on the adoption of the water regulation bylaw.

COPP stands for CITYzens Oversight Participation Project. It is an ad hoc group that meets informally and has less than 20 members.

“It’s a group of people who are concerned with what they see as a bad situation at City Hall where some of our elected officials are not only leading the council and staff into molasses as far as getting things done, but at the time we were all worried that primarily the mayor was heading us into legal territory where we would end up being sued by who knows but possibly everyone involved in the water meter controversy,” said COPP member Les Johnson.

Johnson said the group began when several people got together to discuss the situation and see what could be done.

One of the actions the group took was to

14. On May 25, council, by resolution of a two-thirds majority vote, brought forward a petition to seek a declaration that the respondent is disqualified from holding office.

Part 3 of the petition states the legal basis of the petition referring in particular to section 100 of the Community Charter, which states that councillors who are found to have a conflict of interest are not permitted to participate in the discussion of a matter or vote on a question in respect to a matter before council.

Section 108.1 of the charter states that a person disqualified from holding office under this division is disqualified from holding office on a local government, on council of the City of Vancouver or on the Park Board, or as a trustee under the Islands Trust Act until the next general local election.

3. A conflict of interest arises when the personal interests of a member of council appear to conflict with the member’s obligation to act in the best interests of the city’s residents.

4. Conflict of interest is concerned with appearances. The determination of a conflict of interest does not involve a subjective evaluation of the actual state of mind of the member of council; rather, the existence of a conflict of interest is determined

deliver a letter to City Hall on Feb. 16 raising concerns that councillor Julia Butler may have a conflict of interest in relation to the water meter program. The letter raised concerns as a result of Butler’s statements at the Jan. 27, 2014 council meeting regarding the water meter program in respect of the business.

The letter is referred to in the petition from the city to the Supreme Court asking for Butler’s removal from council.

Johnson said the group has no official mandate or group ethos although the members do have similar goals.

“It’s just a group of concerned citizens,” he said.

Truck driver sent to hospital

POLICE BRIEFS

Truck runs into house At 1:22 p.m. on June 16, police responded to a motor vehicle incident involving a logging truck with trailers on Highway 3 and Granby.

“The logging truck was travelling west on Highway 3 when it was coming around the curve

by Granby Road and went off the road right and drove into the house that is on the corner,” said Cpl. Richard Lanz of the Grand Forks RCMP detachment. “An odour of gas was coming from the area and Fortis Gas was called.”

Lanz said the investigation indicated that the vehicle was not speeding and possibly that the driver was having a medical emergency at the time.

“The driver sustained injuries in the collision and was transported to the Grand Forks hospital,” said Lanz. “The matter is still being investigated at this time.”

Lanz said a gas line from the house was ruptured as a result of the collision.

“FortisBC attended and shut the gas off,” he said. “The commercial vehicle inspector attended and inspected the vehicle for any mechanical defects, which there were none.”

The driver was a 73-year-old male from West Kelowna.

By Craig Lindsay

Drunk in public On June 19 at 9:44 p.m., police received a call of an intoxicated male on Market Avenue in Grand Forks.

“The male was located and was being aggressive and screaming at people on the street,” said Lanz. “The male was arrested for being intoxicated in a public place. The male was also consuming on the street.”

Lanz said the accused, a 63-year-old Grand Forks resident, was locked in cells and was issued a violation ticket the following morning for consuming in a public place and being intoxicated in a public place.

Driver fails breath sample tests

On June 19 at 11:42 p.m. RCMP conducted a road block on 68th Avenue and Highway 3.

“One vehicle was checked and an odour of alcohol was noted coming from the driver,” said Lanz. “A roadside demand was given and two breath samples were obtained. Both results were a fail.”

The driver, a 55-year-old male from Kelowna, was issued a 90day IRP (immediate roadside prohibition) and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days.

“The male was also issued a violation ticket for having open liquor in the vehicle,” said Lanz.

Motorhome pulled over

On June 20 at 12:25 a.m., RCMP conducted another road check on Highway 3 and 68th Avenue and stopped a motorhome.

“The driver of the motorhome also displayed signs of impairment,” said Lanz. “An odour of liquor was noted and an ASD demand was read. He provided breath samples and the results were fail.”

The driver, a 57-year-old male from Osoyoos, also received a 90day driving prohibition and the motorhome was impounded for 30 days.

Youth assault male

On June 20 at 4:44 a.m. police were called to a complaint of assault and mischief that occurred at Christina Lake.

“Two youths were found ransacking boats at Christina Lake,” said Lanz. “A male heard this and confronted the two youth responsible. When he confronted them he was assaulted by one of the males and the males departed.”

Lanz said the two males responsible were located. Both were young offenders who live at Christina Lake.

“Charges are being approved

On June 16, a logging truck veered off Highway 3 and drove into a house.

for assault and mischief as they were throwing fire extinguishers and whatever else they could find in the boat out and causing damage to the equipment on the boats,” said Lanz.

Collision sends SUV driver to hospital On June 20 at 12:14 p.m., RCMP responded to a three-car motor vehicle incident on Central Avenue at 10th Street in Grand Forks.

“One male has received serious injuries from the crash,” said Lanz. “One vehicle was travelling east when he noticed an SUV following a truck pulling a trailer travelling west cross over the double solid line and struck the east-bound vehicle. When the east-bound driver applied his brakes and was hit, the driver behind him ran into the back of the east-bound vehicle.”

The driver of the SUV, a male from Burnaby, suffered serious injuries and was transported to Boundary Hospital.

“At this time it is uncertain of the cause of the accident but in-

dications are it could’ve been a medical situation,” said Lanz.

Break and Enter On June 20 at 2:09 p.m. police received a call of a break and enter to a compound where a 2000 Chevrolet pick-up had been stolen.

“Information later was received that the vehicle had been located abandoned in Kelowna,” said Lanz.

The investigation is continuing regarding the person who stole the vehicle. “Entry was gained into the compound by cutting the lock,” added Lanz.

Cougar destroyed

On June 21 at 4:35 a.m. police and B.C. Conservation Officer were called to a residence on Kettle River Drive after a cougar had been scared up a tree.

“The cougar had a fawn in its mouth,” said Lanz.

Lanz reported that the cougar had to be put down and the fawn actually got up and went off with its mom.

By Craig Lindsay

Grand Forks City Council June 15, council unanimously approved a request regarding a partnership with Selkirk College for a mural project including funding.

The mural project will be done by Amber Santos, a mural artist from Nelson, working with kids aged 7-18 years old, at a series of camps run by the college.

The college is asking for $2,000 to cover items such as canvases, paint and brushes.

The project would include eight 1.2 metre by 1.2 metre (4 foot by 4 foot) canvases that

says, we do things in writing.”

A subsequent motion, which was approved, referred the issue back to staff to talk to Habitat and get confirmation in writing if they do decide to withdraw from the lease before proceeding.

Request for proposal process questioned

In her report to council, Councillor Butler said she has received many questions about the contract that was awarded for the remediation of the gravel pit. Butler wondered why the city only received one bid for the contact after advertising it for two weeks on the city website. She questioned why the city did not advertise the request for proposal (RFP) We’ve had no in the paper and on B.C. “to receive three bids formal information bid and the lowest possible price.” that Habitat is CAO Doug Allin stated going to withdraw. that the city has a new purchasing policy and that by putting the RFP on the would be displayed on the lift website, it fulfilled the policy station/washroom buildings at expectations.

City Park.

“

Council considered a recommendation from staff to increase water restrictions. The new restrictions would see watering go from three days per week to two days per week.

Council defeated the original motion to go to second stage water restrictions. Council then carried a motion to remain at stage one water restrictions but to have increased enforcement (through fines) of the bylaw and to reconsider stage two at the next meeting (June 29).

Council also added a provision to alert the public through advertising in the Gazette about the restrictions and the applicable fines for offenders.

(See page A17) Detailed information on the city’s sprinkling regulations is available on the city’s public works website.

Allin contract Council approved a motion to release both the current contract with CAO Doug Allin and the previous one.

The motion was passed with a vote of 4-2 with councillors Ross and Krog opposed. Councillor Wirischagin was absent.

Mural project At the regular meeting of

BETHS lease transfer Council received a request from Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC for support to transfer the lease of 7212 Riverside Drive (MAAP) in the event that Habitat chooses to withdraw from the lease.

Council voted 4-2 against the motion with councillors Butler and Ross voting for and Neil Krog, Chris Hammett, Christine Thompson and Mayor Konrad voting against.

(Councillor Wirischagin was absent.)

Krog said he voted against the motion because he felt it was backwards to approve the lease transfer before Habitat even withdraws.

“We’ve had no formal information that Habitat is going to withdraw,” he said, “and this says ‘oh by the way, if they do withdraw will you just transfer the lease.’ They haven’t told us they’re withdrawing. There’s been some verbal, but not official, information. As the mayor

Solid waste collection

Council approved a motion to formalize the solid waste collection agreement with the RDKB. The agreement means that RDKB will continue to provide solid waste collection service to Grand Forks through the contractor Kettle Valley Waste.

Electrical utility regulatory bylaw Council gave fourth and final reading to bylaw No. 2015, the electrical utility regulatory bylaw. The bylaw includes updates to allow the city to disconnect overdue utility accounts in certain circumstances.

According to Community Charter section 18, a municipality may, by bylaw, establish circumstance in which it may discontinue a utility service.

However, the bylaw must include provisions for reasonable notice and a provision for the persons affected to have an opportunity to make representations to council.

Be on the lookout for northern pike HOLLY HEXIMER Christina Lake Stewardship Society Submitted to the Gazette

Northern pike, an illegally introduced species from Montana, are making their way to Christina Lake.

Northern pike numbers in Lake Roosevelt were significant last year, and have been reported past Kettle Falls, into the main stem of the Kettle River heading towards Canada. These nonnative predators are already found in the Columbia River and have been eating rainbow trout, redside shiner, longnose sucker, mountain whitefish, Kokanee and the red-status listed endangered speckled dace, which are all found in Christina Lake.

Fish up to 38 centimetres long were found in the stomachs of the northern pike.

Fire restrictions now in effect SOUTHEAST FIRE CENTRE Submitted to the Gazette

Effective at noon today (Wednesday, June 24), Category 2 open fires will be prohibited in the Southeast Fire Centre to help prevent humancaused wildfires and protect public safety.

This prohibition will remain in place until the public is otherwise notified. The Category 3 open burning prohibition that was put in place on May 22, 2015 remains in effect.

Specifically, prohibited activities include: • The burning of waste or other materials.

• Stubble or grass fires of any size over any area.

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

• The use of binary exploding targets.

• The use of air curtain burners (forced air burning systems).

A map of the affected area is available online at: http://bit. ly/1dMzbdA.

This prohibition does not ban campfires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide or smaller, and it does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. To learn about the differences between campfires, Category 2 open fires and Category 3 open fires, please visit: http://bit.ly/1GlhE9l.

These prohibitions cover all B.C. parks, Crown lands and private lands, but do not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws and is serviced by a fire department.

Please check with local authorities to see if any other burning restrictions are in place before lighting any fire.

Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

The Southeast Fire Centre covers the area extending from the U.S. border in the south to Mica Dam in the north and from the Okanagan Highlands and Monashee Mountains in the west to the B.C.-Alberta border in the east. It includes the Selkirk Forest District and the Rocky Mountain Forest District.

To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or an open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

IN BRIEF

Historical society picnic Sunday

Catch up with friends and meet new ones at the Boundary Historical Society annual picnic at the Brown Creek Hall.

“We would like everyone to share something that has been lost over time. With the hustle and bustle of our fast paced lives, stop and take a couple of hours to experience a picnic,” said Janet Matsalla, historical society vice-president.

The definition of a picnic is: a pleasant or amusingly carefree experience...; a meal that is eaten outdoors especially during a trip away from home. Doesn’t that sound great?

Be there at 12 noon for the picnic. Everyone is welcome!

This year’s guest speaker is Richie Mann, who will be talking about the Dewdney Trail Project—his presentation starts at 1:30 p.m.

Mark Sunday, June 28 on your calendar and join the Boundary Historical Society at the Brown Creek Hall, 2990 Brown Creek Road East, rain or shine. Come experience what a picnic is!

Leading edge alternative solar energy technology is now providing power to the Boundary Museum and Interpretive Centre’s two exhibit buildings, the former Fructova school and the newly constructed 149 square metre (1,600 sq ft) exhibit building that will house the forestry, mining and transportation vignettes later this year.

The project received support from the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Area D-Rural Grand Forks director who undertook to apply for the UBCM gas tax application in November 2013 to supply and install a solar panel system operated by LED lighting and heat pump system.

The $77,168.50 grant approval followed in February 2014 and construction began in early spring with in-kind contributions, local businesses contracted and countless volunteer hours engaged to complete the eight-panel solar project in February 2015.

On Feb. 25, FortisBC flipped the switch and the sun-harnessed energy is effectively self-sufficiently powering the buildings with back up from Fortis.

Boundary Museum Society’s Manager of Operations Cher Wyers stated, “We’re anxious to see the results after the first year when we can realize the operating savings and see what impact the new solar system has on feeding power back into the grid.

“The gas tax application estimated energy savings comparison of initial costs and ongoing billing factored over 21 years as follows: on Fortis grid, .09 cents per kwh; on solar, .37 cents per kwh and the savings calculation on solar estimated at 8.6 cents per kwh.”

Key to this entire project has been the community businesses WD Sheetmetal

Ltd., Action Contracting and Boundary Electric (1985) Ltd. along with former museum vice-president Bob DeMaertelaere who sadly passed away in April before seeing the project in full operation.

“Bob was our ‘go-to guy’ whose everyday presence at the museum with his dog Quigley by his side ensured that the project was on schedule. We will miss him very much,” Wyers said.

Thanks to the support of the RDKB, the Boundary Museum Society was able to retrofit the main museum building and today showcase it as an energy-efficient success project. With advances in battery technology, it is possible to store enough power to operate both buildings.

Wyers agrees, “By using the latest advances in technology, not only will we be minimizing our carbon footprint, by

example we will also be educating the public in alternative energy systems.”

The grand opening to view the new eight-panel solar system is Saturday June 27 commencing with a 10 a.m. solar workshop by Caleb Schmidt from Sunfind Solar Products Inc., the supplier for the high performance solar system components.

Refreshments and desserts will be available along with vendors on site to provide snacks and ice cream throughout the day to complement the bread oven demonstrations and museum tours until 4 p.m.

Admission is by donation to further assist the museum in future projects and restoration work. Come and learn what alternative energy products can help reduce your carbon footprint. Call 250-442-3737 or email boundarymuse@ shaw.ca for more information.

Beware of phone and email scams CANADA REVENUE AGENCY Submitted to the Gazette

Last week’s puzzle solved

Joke of the Week: Q: Where do boats go when they are sick?

A: The dock.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) warns you to beware of telephone calls or emails that claim to be from the CRA but are not. These are phishing and other fraudulent scams that could result in identity and financial theft.

You should be especially aware of phishing scams asking for information such as credit card, bank account, and passport numbers. The CRA would never ask for this type of information. Some of these scams ask for this personal information directly, and others refer to a website resembling the CRA’s, where you are asked to confirm your identity by entering personal information. You should not click on links included in these emails. Email scams may also contain embedded malicious software that can harm your computer and put your personal information at risk.

Some recent telephone scams involve threatening or forceful language to scare you into paying fictitious debt to the CRA. If you get such a call, hang up and report it to the Canadian AntiFraud Centre —see contact information below.

Some recent email scams involve telling you that you are entitled to a refund of a specific amount or telling you that your tax assessment has been verified and you are getting a tax refund. These emails often have CRA logos or Internet links that look official. Some contain obvious grammar or spelling mistakes.

These types of communication are not from the CRA. When the CRA calls you, it has established procedures in place to make sure your personal information is protected. If you want to confirm the authenticity of a CRA telephone number, call the CRA by using the numbers on its Telephone numbers page. The number for business-related calls is 1-800-959-5525. The number for calls about individual concerns is 1-800-959-8281.

To help you identify possible scams, you can use the following guidelines:

The CRA: • never asks for information about your passport, health card, or driver’s licence; • never shares your taxpayer information with another person, unless you have provided the appropriate authorization; and • never leaves personal information on your answering machine or asks you to leave a message containing your personal information on an answering machine.

When in doubt, ask yourself the following: • Am I expecting money from the CRA? • Does this sound too good to be true?

• Is the requester asking for information I would not include with my tax return?

• Is the requester asking for information I know the CRA already has on file for me?

• How did the requester get my email address or telephone number?

• Am I confident I know who is asking for the information?

• Is there a reason that the CRA may be calling?

Do I have a tax balance outstanding?

The CRA has strong practices to protect the confidentiality of taxpayer information. The confidence and trust that individuals and businesses have in the CRA is a cornerstone of Canada’s tax system. For more information about the security of taxpayer information and other examples of fraudulent communications, go to www.cra. gc.ca/security.

Education

Behaviour program making a big difference CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A new program to help elementary students who have difficulty functioning in a regular classroom is already showing strong results.

School District 51’s Hutton Hideway Behaviour Program is run by Dr. Linda Dolezsar, known by the students as Dr. D, out of a small building behind Hutton Elementary School in Grand Forks.

Dolezsar assists the students in learning how to control (selfregulate) their anger and emotions along with basic functional academics and life skills through small groups and 1:1 instruction.

“It’s a really good program that’s made such a difference in their lives,” said Dolezsar.

The students in the program come from both Hutton and Perley Elementary schools.

“The program’s goal is to assist students early in life so that they can become successful contributing members of the community,” said Dolezsar.

This is the first year of the program, which is a pilot project.

There was a similar program at Walker School three years ago but

it was discontinued, said Dolezsar.

“We just received funding from the board for next year,” she said. “So it’s hopefully going to be a more permanent program.”

Dolezsar explains that before the program started she, as the district’s behaviour specialist, was going from school to school working with students with intense behaviours, “But there were still students who couldn’t function in the classes.”

“In March of last year, I started to take students full-time on a tentative basis,” she said. “I wrote a proposal to the district where teachers get trained and the students would attend a really specialized program. So it evolved from that. The need really drove it. The students I have would have extreme difficulty being in a regular setting.”

Currently, the program has six kids and Dolezsar says that will expand to eight next year.

In order to make the program succeed, Dolezsar has reached out to the business community of Grand Forks.

“While the goal is to teach students how to regulate their own behaviour, it often takes an outside reinforcement to encour-

age students to learn a new habit or behaviour,” she said. “That’s where our amazing business partners come in.”

Dolezsar was able to recruit four local partners, Shell, Overwaitea, Pharmasave and Extra Foods to support the program through the donation of edibles, toys and magazines that are used as incentives for the students.

“Students earn points for proper behaviour and then access the donated items,” she said.

A couple of the boys have even had the chance to work at Shell bagging candy for the store to sell.

Raman Singh, owner of Grand Forks Shell, came up with the idea of having students work at the store.

“Dr. D was asking for a donation for the kids and I said, ‘why don’t they come participate?’” he said. “That way they would be involved and be able to do something for themselves. It would be something new for them to learn and that’s how it started.”

Singh said the students are doing very well and have become much more outgoing.

“They are really liking it and they are coming back with more enthusiasm every week,” he said.

“We are liking this because we are giving something back to the community and that’s what we’re here for.”

Dolezsar said the work at Shell really helps the kids out.

“It helps them prepare for work and also how to behave in public; how to be polite,” she said. “They love it.”

While at the program, the students do some of the standard curriculum such as Math and English, but mostly they learn how to control behaviours using methods such as sharing, social skills, selfregulation, anger management and problem solving.

“Behaviourally, they have to be in a place where they can learn,”

said Dolezsar. “The behaviour comes first before the academics.”

Dolezsar said the program has gone very well in its first year and all the students have made big strides.

“The difference I see with the students is that they are better able to control themselves,” she said.

“When they’re upset, they can calm down a lot quicker. They can apply strategies they’ve learned to problem solve such as walking away instead of getting angry; compromising; taking turns with someone; sharing instead of refusing.”

Dolezsar said the feedback she has heard from parents has been very positive.

WATER – EVERY DROP COUNTS

Abiding to sprinkler regulations pays dividends. When using water responsibly and within regulations, power and operational costs are reduced saving our community money. Energy reduction also relates to less greenhouse gas emissions and less draw from our aquifer.

Water Restrictions – Alternate Watering Days A reminder that water restrictions are in place in the City of Grand Forks “EVEN” numbered civic addresses may sprinkle on “even” numbered days between the hours of 7 am until 9 am and 7 pm until 9 pm.

“ODD” numbered civic addresses may sprinkle on “odd” numbered days between the hours of 7 am until 9 am and 7 pm until 9 pm.

Sprinkling will be monitored by Bylaw Enforcement.

Air Cadets visit Fairchild base On the June 5, cadets from 232 Oliver Bighorn, 531 City of Trail and 841 Grand Forks Boundary visited Fairchild Air Force Base near Spokane, Wash.

The tour began with a mission briefing from Col. Brian McDaniel, 92nd Air Refueling Wing commander, and continued with a tour of a KC-135 Stratotanker static display. Additionally, the cadets interacted with base firefighters, observing their mission firsthand.

“This is an amazing experience,” said Ryan Encina, a 15-year-old cadet from the 232 Bighorn RCAC Squadron from Oliver, B.C. “I have never seen anything like this before. This is what I want to go for in life.”

Both the crew members from the KC-135 and airmen from the fire station understood the impression they could help to make on the foreign visitors.

“Community relations are a large part of our job and we always enjoy the chance to show people what we do and how we do it,” said Master Sgt. Bryan Webber, 92nd Civil Engineer Squadron fire and emergency services planning chief. “It’s not every day you get to give a tour and answer questions from (RCAC) cadets.

It doesn’t matter how old they are or where they are from; getting to play around the fire trucks always makes a pretty good impression.”

The cadets have now completed their training for the year and will start a new training year in September. Over the summer, selected cadets will be attending training courses at cadet training centres located in Vernon, Victoria and Comox, as well as other locations across the country.

ada for over 70 years. The Cadets are the largest government funded youth program in Canada with over 50,000 participants across Canada. The Royal Canadian Air Cadets accepts youth between the ages of 12-18 who have a desire to learn more about the air element of the Canadian Forces, wish to develop the attributes of leadership and good citizenship and who wish to promote physical fitness. While the program is military based, there is no obligation for a cadet to join the Canadian Armed Forces when he or she finishes their cadet career.

Cadets are also encouraged to learn more about opportunities within Canada’s aviation industry.

Thanks aquatic centre staff

z Thumbs Up

A big thumbs up to the aquatic centre staff who went above and beyond to help make Hutton Elementary’s Primary Sports and Splash Day a huge success and so much fun for the kids! Thank you!

Would you like to give a thumb up?

Email editor@grandforksgazette.ca with Thumbs Up as a subject line. We could publish your anonymous submission. Editor’s discretion will always be exercised.

Thumbs up to the staff at Overwaitea that created beautiful, appetizing food trays on short notice to welcome home our Christina Lake Camino de Santiago hikers. Every morsel was eaten!

For the second consecutive year, Christina Lake artist Joan Bartlett has had one of her bronze sculptures selected for the Calgary Stampede Western Art Auction which will take place on July 9.

One of the largest art auctions in Canada, the Stampede auction attracts hundreds of art patrons each year, eager to acquire work by some of the best artists in Canada and the U.S. “I’m very happy to have a piece in the show again,” Bartlett said. “Of the pieces I entered for jury consideration, it wasn’t the one I thought they might select. You just never know what will appeal to the jury. ‘All Ears’ was inspired by my musings about why some animals were given big ears. t was a fun piece to make and it’s fun to look at. I guess you’d call it ‘not quite traditional’ western art.”

Bartlett’s love of all things western is reflected in her lifelike western and wildlife sculptures.

She is represented by galleries in the U.S. and Canada and has had work juried into many major art shows.

Most days you can find Joan working in her gallery/ studio, Little Burro Western Art, at Christina Lake.

The gallery is one of the stops on this year’s Columbia Basin Culture Tour which takes place Aug. 8 - 9.

Piranhas capture home meet

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Several Grand Forks Piranhas Swim Club members hit best times on Saturday at the club’s home meet. In all, 31 swimmers took part with almost everyone showing improvement since their last meet two weeks ago in Trail.

“They all swam with heart and exhibited excellent sportsmanship before and after their races,” said head coach Matt Grey. “We had a great deal of success individually and as a team with our team placing first for overall points. Peyton Swanson earned a silver medal and informed her coach that this was her ‘first medal for anything, ever.’”

The Piranhas ended up first in points with 481.

Coming in second were the Nelson Neptunes with 286.5. Castlegar Aquanauts finished just a point behind with 285.5. Other teams were: fourth place Colville Sharks with 207 points, fifth place Trail Stingrays with 125 and sixth place Creston Waves with 43.

Lincoln Faulkner was awarded his first individual gold medal. Robbie Wark and Kohei Dunnet stood on the podium taking bronze and silver, respectively.

Cassiane Larson earned a bronze medal, and her competitor, friend and teammate Jailyn Needoba had an amazing day of races as well and was award-

ed a gold, said Grey.

Jake Webster and Sam Podmoroff took silver and gold, respectively, in their divisions, as did Jayden LeRoy (silver) and Sydney Gunther (gold). Isaac Holitzki and assistant coach David Hecht each won gold medals in their divisions and Hecht managed to break a 14-year-old record in the 50 metre butterfly.

“I could not be happier with the team and can’t wait to see what they are capable of at the next swim meet,” said Grey.

Faith Thomson, who is in her second year with the club, was another Piranha swimmer who had a great meet and set several bests. She was very pleased with how the meet went for the team.

“It went really well,” she said. “I got best times in all my strokes.”

Thomson got best times in 50m butterfly, 50m freestyle, 100m backstroke and 100m breast stroke.

She said her favourite is the freestyle.

“I can speed up on it and not get so tired,” she said. “I also like the flip turn.”

Thomson said she really enjoyed competing in her home pool in front of family and friends.

“I liked it because we got to do more cheers and more people can come out from Grand Forks and watch,” she said. “We had a couple of DQs (disqualifications) but overall our team really stepped up and did really well.”

To celebrate 90 years is to celebrate a long life, 90 years of hard work, prayerful worship and thoughtful learning.

Let us ask for courage, energy and purposes, let us walk for wisdom, faith and guidance as we walk this road together.

We give thanks for 90 years of being a blessing in Canada and far beyond our shores.

Lauren and Carly Fraser were at the event to celebrate.

Forgiveness is a gift of love

Childhood memories can pop up at unexpected times.

Ken Schauer, R e c e n t l y, Pastor, some­­thing trigChrist Lutheran gered the memChurch ory of questions I often had as a child. For example, “What were you thinking?” “What did you think you were doing?” “Why on earth would you do that?”

These questions assumed I was thinking.

As an adult I still often do things without thinking. I am caught doing or saying things that I later regret. These could have been avoided if I had put some thought into it.

Putting our mind in neutral and seeing what happens is not always good advice. On the other hand, our Lord remation thinks and plans. You rns are no accident.

Jesus dying on the laCk ranite cross was not an aftereadstones thought. The forgiveness you have through Your last dedication Him is a thoughtful to your loved one... gift of love.

Jesus has a thoughtClassic Design out plan for you when Studio you commit your life to him.

Storytime Back from a short hiatus, our Friday morning storytime returns. Starting on Friday, July 3 at 10:30 a.m. See you then!

5/25/15 11:24 AM

The Heart and Stroke Foundation has recently launched a new province-wide FAST signs of stroke awareness campaign.

FAST stands for: Face—is it drooping?

Arms—can you raise both? Speech—is it slurred or jumbled?

Time—to call 9-1-1 right away.

The FAST theme has been proven in many countries around the world, and is an easy way to remind people of the major signs of stroke, and the urgency of seeking medical attention.

Stroke is the number three killer of Canadians, and is the leading cause of disability. There are an estimated 62,000 strokes in Canada each year; that is one every nine minutes. More than 80 percent of Canadians who have a stroke and make it to the hospital will survive, with varying degrees of recovery.

For more information: heartandstroke. ca/FAST.
