Students head back to school

(Above) Students arrive at Grand Forks Secondary Tuesday morning for the first day of classes for the new school year.

The hot and dry weather this summer combined with the lack of a snow pack have left the area in drought conditions. The drought has certainly been a challenge for those associated with agriculture.

“The Grand Forks area has seen well above average heat units providing fast crop growth and an earlier harvest than ‘normal,’” said Dave Townsend, government communications and public engagement, B.C. Ministry of Agriculture.

“There has been a significant moisture deficit in the local area—well above normal.”

Townsend said that for those with sufficient irrigation, crops have generally done well; however, the non-irrigated crops are suffering. The Ministry of Agriculture will continue to monitor the conditions.

“We work closely with the federal government and the agriculture industry to proactively plan for climate change and extreme weather conditions and the partnership has resulted in regional agriculture climate adaptation strategies for several regions of the province,” he said. “In general, drought and wildfires can cause damage to forage supplies, cattle mortality, increase production costs and decrease revenues for affected ranchers, and impact crops.”

The Border Bruins went undefeated on the weekend, winning twice and tying once during a Labour Day weekend exhibition homestand.

On Friday, the Bruins beat Osoyoos 4-2. Saturday saw the squad defeat Princeton 3-2. On Sunday, the Bears tied Creston Valley 4-4.

Coach/general manager Emery Olauson said the team worked hard and benefited from a trio of new player acquisitions.

“We added a couple of play-

ers (for roles) that we identified as probably weaknesses from the start of camp,” said Olauson. “We were able to fill some gaps we had.

As well, the returning guys really worked hard.”

The new trio, defenceman Graeme Close and forwards Shayne Pluto and Colby Shelton, were picked up from other teams. Close was picked up by trade from Creston Valley, while Pluto (Castlegar) and Shelton (Beaver Valley) were late cuts.

Olauson said Shelton is an offensive-minded player who scored a pair of goals this weekend, while

Pluto is a high-energy disruptive player.

“We’re not kidding ourselves thinking we won the championship this weekend,” said Olauson. “It’s just exhibition but it’s a couple of major strides in the right direction.”

The strong weekend came days after getting walloped 10-1 by Creston Valley on Wednesday, Sept. 2.

The Bruins start the regular season on Friday with a home game against the North Okanagan Knights. The next night the team hosts Summerland Steam. Both games are at 7 p.m. at the Jack Goddard Memorial Arena. Grand Forks

then travels south of the border to face the Spokane Braves on Sunday at 2 p.m.

“We expect more of the same— it’s going to be competitive, hardhitting hockey,” said Olauson.

“We want to establish ourselves as the new Border Bruins. We feel we’re a hard-hitting, competitive bunch that can compete with anyone now. We’re going to work hard in practice this week to improve that.”

Olauson added that the team is still hoping and expecting to add some Junior A cuts to further improve the team.

1925: Constables raid five hotels

1910 Soap specials advertised at Mann Drug Co. were olive oil and cucumber - six cakes for 25 cents, oatmeal and lettuce - six cakes for 25 cents, and Finest Castille - 3 lb. bar for 50 cents.

1915 Sgt. Major P. Barker received a letter this week from his brother-in-law, Private Ed Sapple, written from a Dardenelles hospital. In June Private Sapple received a slight wound about the face but was again in the trenches in six weeks when severely injured in the right leg by shrapnel. He formerly resided in Grand Forks.

1920 Charles Sandner of Christina Lake was a visitor in town Saturday and informed the Gazette that he is planning to have another boat on the lake next year and make scheduled trips to the head of the lake, where his hotel has won an enviable reputation as a stopping place.

1925 Sunday afternoon, armed with warrants, five provincial police raided the premises of the Yale Hotel, Russel Hotel, Province Hotel and Winnipeg Hotel. A raid was simultaneously conducted at the B.C. Hotel at Cascade. The police succeeded in obtaining convictions for illegal possession of liquor.

1930 Grand Forks had the distinction of having a record breaking long-distance telephone call when Mr. and Mrs. Peter Tjebbes of Grand Forks received a call from the former’s father, P. Tjebbes at Buenos Aries, South America.

1935 Owing to a slight outbreak of measles the elementary and high schools have been closed temporarily to prevent the further spread of the disease. A ban has

also been placed on all student gatherings.

1945 Mayor Don Manly announced at the council meeting on Monday evening that work on the leveling of the air strip has been completed with the exception of having it rolled to pack the earth. The strip, now 2,500 feet wide, is ready for landings and takeoffs.

1950 The high school auditorium was filled to capacity at the recent fashion show, sponsored by the Business and Professional Women’s Club and put on by the Style Centre. Proceeds from the show will go towards the work of the club.

1955 Two well-known and popular young people were united in marriage last weekend, when Ruby, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Kabatoff of Castlegar, became the bride of Frank Konkin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. S. Konken of Grand Forks.

1960 John Molson, a graduate of UBC law school, arrived last weekend to relieve in the office of Archer Davis, while Mr. Davis is on a two-month holiday in Europe.

1995 The city will get its fourth set of stoplights, at the intersection of Central Ave. and Boundary Drive. The lights should improve safety for students at nearby Perley Elementary School and Grand Forks Secondary School, and should help ease traffic congestion.

2000 Although the City of Grand Forks has advertised that it paid fair market value for the 400 acres it purchased north of the city, assessment roll numbers have placed the value of the land somewhat lower, at about one-ninth of what the city paid.

2005 The New York Storm ended up going home as champions after drilling the Reno team 5-0 in the final game of the 2005 Grand Forks International baseball tournament.

2010 The school year started Tuesday and with it, the introduction of the Ministry of Educations’ new full-day kindergarten program. Both elementary schools in Grand Forks (Hutton and Perley), as well as Beaverdell, Big White and Midway, will have the full day program for the first time but not at Christina Lake, at least not initially. Schools have the option of delaying the full-day program until 2011.

Ginger

Ginger is an orange tabby, we got her from the SPCA. There are so many nice pets at the SPCA but we could only take one. Ginger likes to sit on a chair at the table and have breakfast with us. Then she likes to go outside with us and watch the squirrel come down to the bird bath and drink water. She doesn’t try to grab the squirrel, she just watches him. When we bring her back into the house, she has her favourite blanket to lay on and she sleeps all afternoon.

Life is good.

Work on spray park begins Work on the Grand Forks Rotary Club’s Spray Park has begun. Crews have begun digging and connecting the pipes that will lead to the spray park, which is located at City Park. The spray park is possible due to the contributions of many people and businesses in the community including the Grand Forks Credit Union (GFCU). GFCU contributed $28,000 to the project through their 2014 and 2015 community endowment fund with the Phoenix Foundation. Pictured at the work site are (from left): Murray Knox, Rotary president, and Lynne Burch, Rotary spray park committee chair, receiving the cheque from GFCU CEO Kelly Thomas.

O’Donnell’s Farm in Grand Forks, has seen first hand the devastation caused by the drought.

O’Donnells have a small flock permit for 2,000 chickens per year. They also have some turkeys, pigs, hay and a market garden.

“The hay yields have been quite low,” she said. “We got about a third of the hay we normally do. It wasn’t a good season.”

She said the animals had no problems as they had plenty of water and food. “The animal part is going really well,” said O’Donnell.

“We were having a hard time keeping up with demand. We had 1,000 last year and found we were running out and having wait lists. This year we doubled production and that was really good.”

O’Donnells have a half-acre market garden where they grow assorted vegetables such as tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, pickling cukes and basil.

She said the veggies haven’t been affected by drought as they have irrigation and sufficient coverage.

She did say when the smoke hit the area hard, the garden shut down. “Everything stopped growing as soon as the smoke came.

I guess the plants weren’t getting the right spectrum of light. It was good for the basil because it didn’t go into flower it just stayed green. The tomatoes didn’t ripen. Hopefully they’ll bounce back.”

She said they lost most of their tomatoes and half their cucumbers.

YOUR NEWS VIEW

Let’s cheer them on!

Although it’s only been a few exhibition games, the Grand Forks Border Bruins are looking good. With two wins and a tie in their weekend homestand, local hockey fans are getting excited.

Sure it’s only exhibition and teams tend to rest some veterans and give longer looks to borderline youngsters, but a win is a win.

Recent history tells us not to get too excited. Two years ago the Bruins came out of the gate strong but soon after fell apart after then coach/general manager Nick Deschenes left for Junior A Trail. Last year was pretty much a train wreck from the get go and the team went through three coaches as they finished the season with the second to last record in the entire league.

Fortunately, each year the previous year’s record is wiped out—all teams start the regular season 0-0.

New Bruins coach/general manager Emery Olauson brings a young energy and enthusiasm to the head coach spot. He had some success coaching semi-pro in the United States after a solid junior and semi-pro playing career.

Olauson has already brought in some talented new players to go along with the returning veterans such as Reid Robertson and Brandon Savaia. Fans can expect even more new faces in the coming weeks.

With a young and fairly inexperienced squad, the Bruins will benefit from having a good, enthusiastic crowd cheering them on. So be sure to get out to the rink and cheer on our boys.

You know it’s serious when the pope calls for action On The Ball CRAIG LINDSAY Unless you are an American Republican candidate, you probably believe that climate change is a real thing. You can look around and see how pollution in its many forms is making the earth warmer and contributing to less snow, less rain and increased drought conditions, which makes wildfires much more likely to occur. The only question that is hard to answer is exactly to what extent is the climate changing due to human’s reliance of gas and oil and heavy industry.

In an article published on the Oregon State website, oregonstate.edu, Kathie Dello, deputy director of the Oregon Climate Service, and Nathan Gilles of the Climate Change Research Institute said about the Paradise Fire

in coastal Washington’s Olympic National Park, “The first piece of our drought puzzle has to do with snow. Last winter was warm and dry. What little precipitation we had fell as rain, not snow. Let’s call this the ‘snow drought.’ The second piece is the warm and dry spring that followed. It was dry enough to layer its own impact on the snow drought. The third piece, where we are now, the very hot, dry summer we’re experiencing. Add the three pieces together and you’ve got a recipe for a rainforest to burn and our rain-fed coastal watersheds to be in drought. Our region’s cities are also starting to see the impacts of drought.”

They add that a summer like this one, with blazing temperatures and little rain, add additional demand to all water systems.

The Oregon Climate Change Research Institute at Oregon State University forecasts that by the middle of this century, the northwest is expected to be about

3° C warmer, on average, than it is today.

Our Canadian government says that, “There is a very strong body of evidence, based on a wide range of indicators, that climate change is occurring, and the climate system is warming. The evidence includes observed increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global sea levels.”

They say that the climate change can be largely attributed to human activity, primarily the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. In Canada, over 80 per cent of total national greenhouse gas emissions are associated with the production or consumption of fossil fuels for energy purposes.

Like with the wildfires and smoke that threatened us a week ago, the worst part is the feeling of helplessness. There’s not much you can do against a raging fire or choking smoke other than get-

ting the heck out of dodge. Climate change feels the same way.

What can I do about it? Especially when governments are so loathe to follow any sort of greenhouse gas limiting protocols. But if even 10 per cent of the people in the world changed some of their habits, I bet it would make a big difference and would be a start.

The government website climatechange.gc.ca mentions 10 things people can do to help including reducing energy use, walking and biking whenever possible, insulating your home and recycling regularly.

And, of course, be sure to contact your local government representatives and tell them to urge their governments to enact real environmental change.

There are still some people out there that deny climate change but it’s getting harder to do that with the growing body of evidence. When even the pope calls for action against global warming you know it’s serious.

Letters

Opinion

to the editor

Other essential services needed Editor, The Gazette: I would like to comment on our RDKB representative Grace McGregor’s bid for a pedestrian bridge at Christina Lake.

While I praise Ms. McGregor for her efforts and agree the bridge would be a welcome improvement for the community, I question its priority over essential services we need at Christina Lake.

I have been crossing the

existing bridge manway by foot and bicycle since it was built in 1962. I agree it could have been a foot or two wider, but point out that it is quite functional and has been for 53 years.

Meanwhile, over the past several decades, with new subdivisions created in the community, we still have poor street lighting (if any); no boulevard ditching, culverting and curbing along with roads

and streets’ asphalt in need of repair.

I understand grant money might not be available for some of these upgrades but question the priority of a second pedestrian crossing over the river to the tune of $1.2 million, if the grants could be used for other options.

Ken Schroeder, Christina Lake

Why put future generations at risk Editor, The Gazette: Despite abundant opposition, city council has decided to go ahead and complete the universal water meter program.

The former council started this program, knowing full well that a majority of residents opposed it. They chose the most expensive, most disruptive, most invasive, highest health risk, least efficient method of water metering for our town.

A few simple alternatives (set forth in reports from very competent engineering firms) could have been implemented instead, saving our town a fortune, while still being able to effect major water savings.

These were ignored.

As a last measure, they could have insisted on water meters at every home, but at least have them installed without the option of radio-frequency (RF) transmitters. But, alas, no.

So now you have multiplied the radio-frequency bombardment of our residents dramatically. Don’t forget, despite what they tell you, it’s a statistic verified by Neptune Technologies that the mobile meter readers

iNFORM

can read up to 400 homes at one time. Imagine how much distance is involved to encompass 400 homes, and how much RF energy it would take to transmit that far. It’s a lot. An awful lot.

RF, Wi-Fi, cell phones, smart meters… they are getting some very serious scrutiny and negative press these days, and all the facts are not in yet. There are studies linking cancer, brain tumors, and even autism to prolonged RF exposure. Cancer and tumor incidence are on the rise… could RF exposure be the reason?

According to the Canadian Medical Journal, Aug. 11, 2015, “A committee of parliamentarians from all the major political parties have released a report describing safety risks from cellphones and Wi-Fi as ‘a serious public health issue’ that warrants firm government action to help the public use ‘wireless devices in a manner that protects their health and the health of their families.’”

I could go on with references, and there are lots of them, but you get the point. It’s a highly controversial issue, and time

will tell as to the effect of RF energy on humans.

But why even take the potential risk? Why possibly put our future generations at risk?

There was absolutely no need for it. We could have achieved an equal or better water saving result with alternative solutions.

We had this beautiful, natural valley here, and they chose to fill it with potentially harmful RF radiation.

At this point, this is not about water meters, this is about putting all the residents at risk.

Well, former council, and present “inner council,” this is your legacy. You have brought down the quality of life in Grand Forks. And for no valid reason. This is a very sad time for this town.

And what if you find out that in a few years, research proves without a doubt that RF exposure contributes to the onset of cancer or other disease? What if one of your loved ones gets ill someday… will you feel somehow responsible?

This is a call to dog owners I enjoy walking in the evening, the quietest time of the day and for the most part my walks are peaceful and free of annoyances with the exception of the presence of several dogs inside fenced yards along my route if I walk on the sidewalk. It is seldom that I meet other people on my walks and those with dogs on leashes have well-behaved animals.

On Sept. 3, what began as a quiet walk was disturbed by a couple of incidences with dogs, Rousing one in Barbara Ann Park and the the Rabble other in a parking lot on Third Street.

ROY RONAGHAN At Barbara Ann Park a couple had just released four dogs for a free run in spite of a sign that informs them that dogs should be on leashes. As I entered the pathway that skirts the tennis court a small short-haired dog ran out of the treed area and approached me aggressively. I stopped and waited for the dog to leave but it was persistent and kept barking as it approached to within a metre of me. If I moved, it came closer.

One of the dog’s caregivers shouted, “He’s only a little guy.” My response was, “Little guys can bite.” On other occasions I have been told that a big dog bounding toward me and barking is friendly. If it is a friendly beast why is it barking in a threatening manner?

I have never been reassured by the comments of dog owners about the behaviour of their particular pet either large or small.

After making my usual trek to and around the downtown business area, I walked north on Third Street, up the slope to the parking lot behind the small apartment block on the corner. As I entered the lot a large dog ran toward me while barking aggressively.

I stopped and waited as I have learned to do on such occasions. A man eventually grabbed the dog, gave it a slap and told it to stop.

A week ago I was confronted on Second Street by a couple of small dogs that are usually behind a fence. On this occasion the gate to the yard was open and they charged out at me. No one in the house responded to their barking and it took a while before I could continue.

The incidents described are with dogs out of their yards and not on leashes but there are a few other that are bothersome from behind fences. I avoid these properties as much as possible.

I would be remiss if I did not mention three large dogs that live along my chosen route. They behave in a manner that is highly acceptable to me. I have never heard them bark. I respect them and it appears that they are not bothered by me. One in particular is not behind a fence although it is tethered. It lies at the front door of the house like a sphinx at an Egyptian temple.

When I meet dogs that behave in the manner described above, I think of the example of our family’s watchdog during my childhood. His name was Fritz and his job was to let our family know if something out of the ordinary happened and to keep my siblings and me safe. He did both jobs well. He barked only when he sensed there was a need to.

Fritz never barked unnecessarily and he was trained to respond to my father’s first command to stop his barking. As I recall, all that was needed was, “It’s okay Fritz, that’s enough.” He would immediately leave the scene and pick a spot to lie down.

Given the experiences that I have had with dogs during my walks, it seems reasonable to ask dog owners to make an effort to train their pets to respond to real threats, not someone out for an evening walk.

If they need help there are people available in the city.

And yes, I will continue to be cautious around “the little guys” that are off leash.

Retirement Living at it’s Best

In this modern age there is no reason that seniors shouldn’t have the best retirement possible. The ideals of having a comfortable home, being able to set your own schedule based upon your interests, exceptionally delicious and nutritious food with the company of others: this should be the norm, not the exception.

Seniors should be able to live in a place that ensures they can maintain their independence while also having their needs met, instead of just a ‘home on the hill,’ Fortunately Silver Kettle Village believes in the higher quality of life and aims to provide an entirely new form of housing to seniors that will ensure all residents will have the most opportunity to experience the best years of their life, on their terms.

Silver Kettle Village is an amazing community located at an ideal location in Grand Forks, British Columbia.

It features a variety of apartment sizes to suit any senior’s lifestyle ranging from studio apartments to two bedrooms supported with various cooking and cleaning services to ensure that seniors can spend more time living their lives and less time worrying about scrubbing the floors. Included in each of these maintenance-free suites is a range of features designed to accommodate even the most independent resident’s desires, while still having 24-hour emergency monitoring service for a little extra piece of mind. Full kitchens are laid out to be as bright and comfortable as possible and come with a stove and refrigerator to allow for the preparation of personal meals or snacks anytime. Each suite is also equipped with its own personal heat and air conditioning to allow the residents to decide their personal comfort level.

Stepping beyond the privacy of their personal suite, residents will find a wide range and variety of common and shared areas including a fully stocked library, on-site beauty salons, a luxurious and relaxing spa room, a games room filled with a variety of leisure opportunities, and an activity-room which hosts a range of interesting events and entertainment.

All this is supplemented with several very cozy and conveniently-placed

Wednesday, September 9, 2015

lounges. Each of these areas is easily accessible, and help to encourage the strong sense of community that makes the Village such a wonderful place to be. Silver Kettle Village also realizes just how much pets are a part of the family which is why the building is completely pet friendly, encouraging residents to bring their companions with them to share their suite.

The hospitality services come with no extra charge to the affordable monthly rent which allow residents to enjoy worry-free benefits like the 24hour emergency monitoring, weekly housekeeping, the wide variety of daily social and recreational activities, as well as the complimentary shuttle bus. Also of note is the fantastic central dining room which is both elegant and intimate with its own fireplace. There, residents can enjoy delicious meals which are prepared by on-site chefs, and are served by a passionate and cheerful wait staff who are always happy to welcome guests and family to any meal.

In addition to these wonderful amenities, utility bills including water, heat, air conditioning, and cable television are covered by the low-monthly rent, allowing seniors to spend less time worrying about bills and more time enjoying their retirement.

Silver Kettle Village’s location in Grand Forks is only a short drive away from the small town’s historic downtown which is filled with an array of shops and services. Nestled in the Kootenay Boundary, one can be assured of spectacular and scenic views of the surrounding mountains.

This setting only adds to a peaceful and relaxing environment that Silver Kettle Village aims to provide for its residents. With many parks, golf courses, and the magnificent Christina Lake located nearby there is an abundance of adventure to be had.

Without having to worry about the responsibilities of home-ownership seniors at Silver Kettle Village are able to enjoy their lives to the fullest in whatever way they choose. Open daily, call (250) 442-0667 to find out more information or to schedule a tour.

Radio club provides emergency communicaitons HEATHER SHILTON

Submitted to the Gazette

When the Rock Creek fire knocked out land and cell communications to the community of Beaverdell, the Grand Forks Amateur Radio Club was ready to help.

On Aug. 20, a B.C. emergency services coordinator located in Kamloops, B.C., contacted the Grand Forks Amateur Radio Club (GFARC) to ask for assistance. President Don Fraser was quick to set the wheels in motion to provide the expertise, personnel and equipment needed to ensure citizens of the Beaverdell area had communication with the rest of the region and the province.

Had there been a local emergency such as a new or expanding forest fire or a medical emergency, residents needed a way to summon help and GFARC was happy to provide it.

Many members of the GFARC hold valid Emergency Volunteer Services cards, issued

by Emergency Management B.C. These members are listed on a provincial roster. This allows the province to contact qualified amateur radio operators in time of need. The card identifies a volunteer and allowed two local amateur radio operators to enter the restricted zone along Hwy. 33 during the Rock Creek fire road closures.

Don Fraser, known by his federally-issued call sign, VA7KT, and Brian Norwood,

VE7NRD, travelled to Beaverdell with a portable amateur radio station consisting of a transceiver (an electronic piece of equipment that has the ability to transmit and receive radio signals of various frequencies), microphones and a battery power source.

Once set up, they communicated by voice signal to radio operators in Grand Forks who were monitoring a club repeater on Phoenix Mountain.

These operators were then able to use the regular land and cellular telephone networks to relay important messages to and from residents and emergency workers in Beaverdell, Nelson and Trail.

Emergency communications were provided by GFARC members for two days, until satellite telephone service could be established for the community.

Amateur radio has a long history of providing emergency communications throughout the world. The relatively uncomplicated system of amateur radio operators, or “hams,” linked across nations and continents via repeaters is reliable, often powered by batteries or generators when electrical infrastructure is not available.

Often hams use Morse code as a more efficient form of communication, particularly when radio signal levels are marginal.

This type of communication was widely used by the military during the first and second

World Wars, and is still very much in use today. (An entertaining but fictitious example of Morse radio communications during times of disaster can be seen in the 1996 movie, Independence Day.) Ham radio operators practice emergency preparedness procedures regularly, often through daily and weekly “nets” where they check in with a central operator with a voice or Morse code signal. This ensures equipment and operator readiness to rally in times of emergency.

Ham radio is a hobby for many and listening or chatting with others often hundreds of kilometers away is entertaining and at times, exciting. Recently a GFARC member was listening to a repeater in the Okanagan Valley when a ham radio operator driving on Highway 3 west of Osoyoos came upon a new wild fire a mere 100 metres from the road.

None of the people stopped was able to phone 911 to report the blaze but the quick-thinking “mobile” ham called it into the repeater where it was picked up by a local ham. This ham phoned 911 to report the new blaze.

GFARC meets the first Monday of every month to conduct club business and promote activities to enhance members’ skills and interest. New members are always welcome and can contact the club by calling 250-444-7144.

Lobsterfest sold out but raffle tickets available CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Lobsterfest is already looking to be another big success for the Grand Forks Rotary Club. The event, which goes this Saturday at the Christina Lake Community Hall, is a sellout with over 200 tickets sold. Available for a short time are raffle tickets for a draw for WestJet tickets for anywhere WestJet flies. Tickets are available at Sears in Grand Forks, gallery 2 or from any Rotarian.

The draw will be held at Lobsterfest.

All the proceeds from the event will be going to the Rotary Spray Park at City Park. Work on the spray park has already begun with digging which started last week.

“People can expect a great lobster dinner with fresh Atlantic lobster, salads, corn with as much local produce as possible,” said Rotarian Gord Nichols. “We’ve also got a great band, Renegade, coming from Trail.”

The event will also feature a silent auction,

Local aboriginal artist David Seven Deers spoke to the Grand Forks Rotary Club Thursday. He talked about his work in Germany before coming to the Boundary, as well as his work building a large raven sculpture for the school board’s gateway project in Midway. He also spoke about the piece (which he is holding) that he graciously donated to the club for the silent auction at the lobsterfest event Saturday at the Christina Lake Community Hall. The piece is a hand engraved “Paques” (eagle) stone petroglyph valued at $1,000.

Marketing company starts up Gateway Digital offers new branding and marketing services to the Boundary

CAVAN GATES

Submitted to the Gazette

Gateway Digital is aiming to fill the skills and time gap for small businesses which are too busy to keep up with their Internet marketing and branding.

A survey of Christina Lake businesses showed that many small businesses are not marketing themselves through social media like Facebook and don’t have strong up to date websites. However, more and more customers use the Internet to find where they want to shop.

“Many business owners see the need for a strong digital presence but they only see companies available over the Internet,” said Cavan Gates, community coordinator for the Christina Gateway Community Development Association.

“There’s nothing like sitting

down face to face with the person doing your marketing to discuss ideas and branding.”

Smart phones have changed marketing further to include formats for smaller screens and increased use of the Internet for directions while on the go.

More than just directions, customers are making purchases or bookings on the Internet and only come to the business after.

This shift left some businesses scrambling to keep up with the shifting marketing landscape.

“Your digital presence is the modern business sign. Customers are looking on Facebook and Google and if you aren’t there, you aren’t even in the race,” said Gates, who is bringing his experience with business and communications to the project.

As more businesses become aware of this change, they look

Automotive Tip of the Week

for someone to help—and usually find lots of offerings on the Internet. Gateway Digital promotes its face-to-face advantage because it is a local business.

Kim Kinakin has been hired as creative director at Gateway Digital, moved to the Boundary after working for years in Vancouver and Los Angeles’ music industry as a graphic artist.

“I’m really excited to use the skills I honed in the international music industry to grow local business,” he said. “Now living in a what many consider a ‘vacation getaway’, I’m far away from big city stresses and enjoying it.”

Services offered include branding, print design, video editing, web design, social media and marketing.

Jill Irving, along with her husband Les, are the owners and operators of Crowsnest Keep Restaurant in the west end of Grand Forks. The restaurant recently celebrated its one-year anniversary with a big party.

Keep has found its niche CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Every new business has growing pains but for Crowsnest Keep Restaurant, they’ve passed the one-year mark and are looking stronger than ever.

The restaurant, which is owned by a couple from Greenwood, offers fresh homemade meals, specialty coffees and even a boutique. The Keep is attached to Rilkoff’s Store at the west end of town but is independent.

Jill Irving and her husband Les opened the restaurant on July 29 of last year.

“We’re fresh and not fast food,” she said. “That’s what prompted us to open the restaurant—to give people different options. We try to serve a good meal at a fair price. You shouldn’t have to pay an arm and a leg for a good meal.”

Jill said the restaurant’s first year has gone very well. “In the winter we weren’t sure what to expect but we did very well,” she said, “and we’re just getting busier and busier.”

The restaurant recently hired a cook who specializes in vegetarian cuisine and Jill is excited about some of the new menu options they are bringing out for the fall.

“When we opened up the restaurant here we knew there was a very large vegetarian community,” she said. “There are a lot of vegetarians in Grand Forks.

We have many regulars who are vegetarians and we have lots of fresh options for them.”

Jill said they have plenty of new and exciting menu items for fall. “We’re doing our fall switch over right now,” she said. “We have lots of new fall items were happy to pull out.”

Jill said the restaurant has plenty of hearty soups to warm everyone up as the weather

cools down.

“We make all of our soups here,” she said. “They’re all made from scratch right here.

We have our own borscht.

We’re entering the borscht competition on the [Sept.] 12th at the dollar store. I want that ribbon!”

They also have a popular loaded baked potato soup and creamy tomato dill soup. “Thai carrot soup is another bit hit as well,” she said. “We also have non-vegetarian soups like chicken vegetable, which is very popular. We can’t keep it in stock.”

Hamburgers are also very popular, said Jill. “Our burgers are homemade patties. They are formed when they hit the pan. There’s no filler.”

She said the only things on the menu that are frozen are the French fries, onion rings and ice cream.

The Irvings also pride themselves on shopping local for all their produce.

“In our community here, it’s so small and we need to help each other by supporting each other,” said Jill. “I found sometimes there’s lots of head-butting among businesses trying to get things going.”

Crowsnest Keep also serves different ethnic foods such as a Lebanese-style donair, which has sweet garlic sauce instead of tzatziki sauce. They also have a Jamaican patty available.

“We’re also well known for our breakfasts,” she said. “We have farm-fresh eggs, homemade bread from a local baker.

We do a lot of baking in house but also sub out. We also have great salads.”

Jill also takes pride in offering some of the best coffee in town. She gets her coffee fresh from Oso Negro in Nelson.

“I’m a trained barista,” she said. “I’m a coffee guru. We get

our coffee weekly from Nelson.

It comes here two days after I order it. It’s always nice and fresh.”

They also offer wraps, salads, sandwiches and several other fresh menu options.

The restaurant is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.

Jill started up a Facebook site (What’s to Eat in Grand Forks?) that offers residents and tourist alike a way to check out what’s available for dining options in the area.

Crowsnest Keep is non-licensed and Jill says they plan to keep it that way. “I want to be a family-friendly environment,” she said. “We do birthday parties and family events here. We also have take out and delivery.”

They are already preparing for their second annual Thanksgiving dinner, which features turkey and all the fixings. They will have a pumpkin decorating contest on Halloween.

Jill said they are providing school lunches for Hutton School as well.

The Irvings spent over $10,000 on renovating the dining room after purchasing the building. Jill said it’s been money well spent as the new dining room is much brighter and cozier.

“People just love to come and enjoy it,” she said. “I’ve had people say it’s like home; they love it.”

Crowsnest Keep celebrated their one-year anniversary at the end of July with a big celebration. “We had a full out day of stuff,” she said. “We had free hot dogs and drinks for the kids as well as face painting, door prizes, balloons, a juggler and a magician. It turned out really well. We had a great turn out. We had a great big cake as well.”

Literacy

September is Literacy Month SHEILA DOBIE

Submitted to the Gazette

During Literacy Month the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy – Boundary (CBAL) is participating in Decoda Literacy Solutions’ monthlong literacy awareness campaign called Literacy is Life.

CBAL will be publishing a series of stories submitted from the community—stories about an experience with wild animals. CBAL and WildSafeBC have partnered in this writing project, which will see a new story published each week for the month of September.

It’s not too late. Tell us a story about how you have enjoyed wild animals in the wild, keeping them wild!

Amy’s Story I always wanted to see a moose.

It was a nice spring day in April we dropped something off at the dump. We went for a drive around North Fork. I was asleep. Barb woke me up. We thought it was a cow but it was a moose.

It was a female because it didn’t have any antlers. It was crossing the road to get food and water.

Moose have thick fur to keep them warm. Moose eat plants, leaves, willow, birch and aspen twigs and bark.

They need to eat 45 to 6o pounds of plants each day.

Moose live in forests. They like to be near water. Wolves and bears sometimes attack moose.

Moose live a long life.

Moose have a special stomach with four sections. This helps them digest all the plants. A moose lives about 20 years. Most moose live on the continent of North America. The largest moose is the Yukon Alaska moose. It can weight as much as 1,4oo pounds or 635 kilograms.

A mother moose has one or two calves at a time. The calves drink milk from their mother. They live in groups for the winter, to stay warm and save.

I wish that I had for a long time came true, unexpected.

Well, what a great experience it was. It made my day!

Literacy is Life is a province-wide fundraising and awareness campaign held during Literacy Month.

Literacy is Life will raise awareness of the importance of literacy; create a new, modern understanding of literacy; and raise funds to support community-based literacy programs and initiatives across British Columbia. You can get involved by going to this link: decoda.ca/literacyislife/.

Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy - Boundary (CBAL) is the Boundary’s community literacy organization. It offer adult and family

community-based literacy programs in partnership with many community organizations. Visit CBAL online at cbal.org/boundary.html or on its Facebook page at Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy- Boundary. For more information contact Sheila Dobie, community literacy coordinator, at sdobie@cbal.org.

As part of the annual Farmers Appreciation Week, Sept. 13 -19, the B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets (BCAFM) is inviting British Columbians to submit their original poems to honour our local farmers.

Writers of all levels are encouraged to submit their agricultural themed-poems to the third annual Ode To A Farmer Poetry Contest by Sunday, Sept. 13.

The grand prizewinner will receive a $150 gift certificate to spend at the B.C. farmers’ market of their choice. Regional winners from the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast, Kootenay Rockies, Northern British Columbia, Thompson Okanagan, Vancouver, Coast and Mountains and Vancouver Island will also be chosen and awarded $50 gift certificates. Submissions are being accepted online or by mail.

“Whether it be a haiku, sonnet or limerick, we are looking for people to use their creativity through words to show their appreciation of local farmers who contribute greatly to our communities, health and well being,” said Georgia Stanley, BCAFM’s communications manager.

“There is a great tradition of writers finding inspiration from the land that is continued

through the Ode To A Farmer contest,” says Tamara Leigh, president of the B.C. Farm Writers’ Association, and contest judge. “I look forward to seeing how people connect creatively with food and farming, and bring it to life in their poems.”

Along with the Ode To A Farmer Poetry Contest, the public can enjoy various activities in celebration of Farmers Appreciation Week that highlight the contribution B.C. farmers and local food make to our lives.

From parades and musical tributes, to farm equipment displays, there are events for people of all ages to enjoy at farmers’ markets across B.C. throughout the week.

The BCAFM is a not-for-profit association that represents 125 farmers’ markets across the province and works to support, develop and promote farmers’ markets in all regions of B.C. For more information on the BCAFM or to find a farmers’ market near you, visit www.bcfarmersmarket.org.

Grand Forks Gazette

Replanting wisely could have multiple benefits JOYCE NELSON

For the Grand Forks Gazette

North America has been in the grip of a weird weather pattern that keeps a high atmospheric pressure system locked in place over the Pacific.

This blocking ridge of atmospheric pressure disrupts wind patterns and prevents rainstorms from reaching California, while sending warm, dry air up the West Coast and re-routing the rainstorms farther to the north. Meanwhile, cold air has been moving down from the Arctic and across the northeast, keeping temperatures low and bringing higher precipitation across the East Coast.

According to the Globe & Mail (April 3, 2015), “Some climate scientists have suggested that the persistence of such weather patterns is the result of a jet stream that has been weakened by global warming.” A weakened jet stream could have dire consequences for weather patterns worldwide—locking in unusual atmospheric patterns for years.

Scientists call the atmospheric ridge that is currently blocking rain from California “the Triple R” (the Ridiculously Resilient Ridge). Stanford University scientist, Bala Rajaratnam, told Counterpunch.org that such large-scale atmospheric conditions “are far more likely to occur now” because of “large amounts of greenhouse gases” from producing and burning fossil fuels.

The Union of Concerned Scientists recently issued a statement claiming, “This pattern of intense rain and snowstorms and periods of drought is becoming the new normal in our everyday weather as levels of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere continue to rise.”

But other scientists are factoring in a different dimension of human activity that is contributing to drought (and weird

weather) worldwide.

Flying Rivers Apparently, western scientists have misunderstood the hydrological cycle, long assuming that rain clouds form because of evaporation over water-bodies.

Instead, they are now realizing forests and other “greenbelts” are central to rainfall patterns because of “transpiration.”

As water expert Maude Barlow told CBC’s The Current (March 3), “The air moving over rainforest carries twice as much rain as air coming over a desert or a cut-down forest. So the forest gives off vapours that are called flying rivers— huge areas of humidity [that] then travel thousands of kilometres. That’s what deposits rain when it’s needed in Sao Paulo [Brazil] and other places. That is the key here.”

Barlow is basing that comment on the work of Brazilian scientist Antonio Donato Nobre and his team of researchers at Brazil’s Earth System Science Centre. Nobre issued a report in October 2014 warning that deforestation of the Amazon is contributing to droughts and extreme weather events through the disruption of the “vegetation-climate equilibrium.”

Nobre reported that the 600 billion trees in the Amazon forest (through transpiration) transfer “20 billion metric tons of water” into the atmosphere DAILY in this “river of vapor that comes up from the forest and goes into the atmosphere”—an amount greater by volume than the entire Amazon River.

Nobre calls it “this invisible river running above us.”

But in the past 20 years, the Amazon has lost 763,000 square kilometres of forest—an area the size of two Germanys— and another 1.2 million square kilometres have been degraded. This has decreased forest transpiration and has contributed to the lengthening of dry seasons. It is

also likely a factor in the severe drought affecting southeast Brazil, where Sao Paulo (the biggest city in South America) is facing the worst water shortages in a century, with water-rationing affecting some six million residents.

Nobre told The Guardian (Oct. 31, 2014), “Studies more than 20 years ago predicted what is happening with lowering rainfall. Amazon deforestation is altering climate. It is no longer about [computer] models. It is about observation.”

A December 2014 study by scientists at the University of Virginia found that deforestation can disrupt rainfall patterns thousands of miles away. Global Forest Watch recently reported that the world lost more than 18 million hectares (650,000 square miles) of tree cover in 2013 – with Russia and Canada at the top of the deforestation list. Because of all this forest loss, Nobre says the “vegetationclimate equilibrium is teetering on the brink of the abyss.”

Vegetative-Climate Equilibrium In a 2014 speech, Nobre explained that while he was researching all this, he attended a public declamation given by Davi Kopenawa, a representative of the Yanomami tribe who live deep in the Amazon.

As Nobre tells it, Davi Kopenawa basically said, “Doesn’t the white man know that, if he destroys the forest, there will be no more rain? And that, if there’s no more rain, there’ll be nothing to drink, or to eat?” Nobre says he was astounded by this statement because “we [scientists] are starting to get to this conclusion, which he already knows!”

Nonetheless, Davi Kopenawa’s declamation bothered Nobre at the time because, as he puts it, the Yanomami tribal people have never deforested, so how could they know its effects on rain patterns? The question bugged Nobre until

Yard Sale

finally he met Davi Kopenawa at another event and asked him, “Davi, how did you know that if the forest was destroyed, there’d be no more rain?”

He replied: “The spirit of the forest told us.”

Nobre says “For me, this was a game changer, a radical change.” Nobre is now urging the massive replanting of forests to “reverse climate change, including global warming.”

As Maude Barlow told CBC Radio’s The Current, scientists now understand that the Dust Bowl of the Dirty Thirties was caused by the widespread elimination of trees and perennial vegetation like Prairie grasslands—“the taking down of the grasses created the drought.” Barlow has written elsewhere, “... destroying water-retentive landscapes is in and of itself a major cause of climate change,” but that fact “is not part of the analysis or discussion in climate change circles,” which primarily focus on the burning of fossil fuels.

In B.C, thousands of hectares of industrial forest land are waiting to be replanted. Doing this wisely could have multiple benefits, not just for the province but the planet.

The National Gardening Association website states that on a sunny summer afternoon, an average-size backyard maple tree transpires “more than 50 gallons [of water] per hour” into the local climate. All plants transpire, and Antonio Donato Nobre refers in his speech to a colleague in India, Suprabha Seshan, who is involved in rebuilding ecosystems. Her motto, he says, is “Gardening back the biosphere.”

Submitted to the Gazette

The Province of BC has declared September Disability Employment Month.

There are more than 546,000 people in B.C. over

the age of 15 who identify as having a disability.

Employers need skilled workers, and persons with disabilities are a largely untapped resource. Hiring people with disabilities is a mutual benefit for employers, employees and communities

across the province.

Businesses experience less turnover when they invest in a person with disabilities as they typically have higher rates for retention and are five times more likely to stay on the job than people who do not have a disability.

Services and supports available through Community Futures Boundary - WorkBC Employment Services Centre are intended to help people with disabilities enter the workforce,

maintain employment, or achieve higher levels of independence. This can include wage subsidies, financial support for assistive technology, specialized assessments, skills training, job coaching, customized employment and more.

In celebration of Disability Employment Month, Community Futures Boundary - WorkBC Employment Services Centre will host an open house at 1647 Central Avenue, Grand Forks on Wednesday, Sept. 30 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.

The event will include a free information session and workshop. Hot dogs and refreshments will be provided.

BURN FAT \ BE FIT \ FOR LIFE

The local cycling club is holding its annual Century Ride on Sunday, Sept. 13. This one-day event is a fun ride for cyclists of various abilities.

It takes its name from the distance: 100 kilometres!

This ride has been described as “a gentle entry” into long-distance cycling events. The route is not too challenging with no major hill climbs, little traffic on many of the local roads, and great camaraderie.

All cyclists are invited to take part in one of the two rides: 100 kilometres or 54 kilometres.

Last year, participants came from around the Kootenays, including Grand Forks, Rossland, Trail and Cranbrook, plus one from Vancouver.

The ride starts in town, loops around Carson Road and the Nursery District. During this section, the pace of the ride is moderate at 25 km/h and cyclists ride as a group, chatting with new and old acquaintances. When the course crosses Highway 3 and veers onto Granby Road the riders break up into groups, depending on speed and strength.

Cyclists choosing the shorter 54-kilometre option turn back south on North Fork Road at

the Hummingbird Bridge, while those choosing the longer option continue north on North Fork Road to the turnaround point near the 42 kilometre marker, then retrace their route, following North Fork Road all the way back to town.

For those who wish a further challenge, the ride optionally finishes with the Hardy Mountain Hill Climb. With an out-and-back format, cyclists may choose any distance within the 100 kilometres by simply turning around at any point. The ride is neither a race, nor a fundraiser, so going the distance is only a matter of personal challenge.

This year’s Century Ride is very special in that will be honouring our fallen member, Bo Juzkiw, who died riding the Red Rock Century bike ride in Evergreen, Colorado on Aug. 8 of this year. Bo was an avid cyclist and was always willing to help the Grand Forks Cycling Club in whatever way he could.

The ride starts at 10 a.m. with registration opening at 9 a.m. and concludes with lunch and socialising. Cost is $30 for non-club members.

People interested in joining this bike ride can call Heather at 250-442-2663 for more information or check out the Grand Forks Cycling Club website on the Events Page.

Puck drops soon for new season SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

The Boundary Adult Hockey League (BAHL) is ready to roll out another exciting year of competitive hockey. The league consists of five teams and a total of 70-80 players playing out of Jack Goddard Memorial Arena in Grand Forks. Teams are redrafted every season to ensure league parity, competiveness and fun.

“We have redrafted the players each year, creating an exciting atmosphere a few weeks before the draft,” said David Evdokimoff, league president. “The draft ensures that teams stay even and this helps foster a fun hockey culture as you never know who you will be playing with from season to season.” Games are mostly played on Sundays and Wednesdays and all teams make

the playoffs. First league games will start Sunday September 20th and run through until end of March.

“The best part of our league is that we have skill levels ranging from ex-pro players right down to guys just learning the game. It creates an interesting mix and keeps up a high tempo to the game,” added Evdokimoff.

The 2015-2016 season has also seen the addition of a Midway team playing 10 exhibition games with the league with hopes they may become a full time member the following season.

New players are always welcome and can sign up via the website HYPERLINK “http:// www.bahl.com/”www.gfbahl.com deadline for registration and payment is Sept 15th .

It was a veritable field day for local athletes at the B.C. Senior Games recently (Aug. 27-29) in North Vancouver.

Swimmer Don Caskey from Grand Forks was a dynamo in the pool as he took home three golds, two silvers and one bronze. Caskey won gold in the 100 metre (m) backstroke, 200m individual medley and 400m freestyle. He captured silver in the 100m individual medley and the 50m backstroke. He also got a bronze in the 50m butterfly.

Other medalists from Grand Forks were Larry Podmoroff, who picked up two golds in archery; and Ken Kambeitz who grabbed a silver in hockey with the Kootenay Glacier Kings.

Joan Hooper from Christina Lake grabbed a gold, two silvers and a bronze in swimming. She picked up the gold in 800m freestyle, silvers in 400m and 100m freestyle and a bronze in 200m freestyle.

Joan Thompson, also of Christina Lake, competed in the cycling road race, while Doreen Barlow got silver in women’s golf.

Lee and Don Bedard, from Christina Lake, competed in curling and their team finished fifth.

Pool to reopen Sept. 13 For those who appreciate and have been waiting to making ripples in cool crystal clear water, relax in the heat of a sauna, enjoy the massage of tiny bubbles from the whirlpool or getting a sweat on in the fitness room, your wait is over.

The Grand Forks Aquatic Centre is re-opening this Sunday, Sept.13 from 1 to 5 p.m.

The aquatic centre has been closed since Aug. 15 for its annual maintenance shutdown. During this time the aquatic centre has undergone extensive cleaning, painting and minor repairs.

The pool is also being fitted with a new ultraviolet filtration unit. The UV filtration replaces the old ozone system. The water quality will be excellent and easier to maintain.

The staff at GFREC is excited for the public’s return. The business of recreation is to serve the public. We strive to offer great programming in the field of fitness, sports and leisure.

It is never easy asking our customers to postpone their regular routine for any reason.

Unfortunately much of the work required to properly maintain the facilities can only be done during an extended closure.

Fortunately, due to the extensive maintenance our community recreation facilities are once again in peek shape to providing a fun and safe environment for everyone.

The aquatic centre will begin its regular fall programming Monday, Sept. 14.

Aquafit classes and Circuit classes will resume along with an updated public swim schedule.

The pool will be open Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 6 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8

a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Evening hours are Monday to Wednesday 5 - 8 p.m. and Thursday, Friday 5 - 9 p.m. Weekend hours are Saturday and Sunday 1 - 5 p.m.

Arena opens for drop-in programs

The Jack Goddard Memorial Arena has also undergone cleaning, painting and minor repairs over the summer. The arena is back open for drop-in programs z GFREC as of this week.

Report Seniors 65+ began today and will run Mondays and Wednesday from 9 - 10 a.m. Seniors 55+ are on the ice Tuesdays and GRAND FORKS Thursdays from 9 - 10 a.m.

RECREATION Parent and Tot Skate and Play also resumes today, taking place Monday and Wednesday mornings from 10:15 11:15 a.m.

Adult Only Skate starts Thursday, Sept. 10 from 1:15 - 2:15 p.m. And evening Adult Drop-in Hockey will commence Sunday, Sept. 13, 5:15 6:15 p.m.

Grand Forks Gazette

September is World Alzheimer’s Month and as part of its #RememberDementia campaign, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. wants to call attention to the power of language—both to reinforce and to fight stigma.

Language can perpetuate stigma and stereotypes. Language used to describe Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias has historically been largely negative, focusing on the losses experienced by the person living with dementia. While these losses are real, this negative framing has contributed to perceptions and approaches to care that focus on weakness rather than strength, illness rather than wellness and victims rather than whole persons.

So, for example, the Society prefers the term “person with dementia” to a “dementia sufferer” or someone “afflicted” with the disease.

“We advocate for a person-centred approach to the language of dementia, and the disease in general,” says Maria Howard, Alzheimer Society of B.C. CEO. “There is so much work to be done to raise awareness and encourage compassion about the disease. We’ve all heard someone make an ‘Alzheimer’s joke’ about being forgetful. This perpetuates the stigma felt by people with dementia and their families. We don’t make the same kind of jokes about cancer or another serious disease.”

But language can also offer space for awareness and growth. With her memoir, The Long Hello, Vancouver author Cathie Borrie shares her

experience with her mother’s dementia in the form of brief, lyrical vignettes that create a magical voice and weave humour and insight into an honest, raw, and beautiful story.

“As her dementia progressed, my mother became a poet and said the most amazing things, and I think it was the poet in her that released the writer in me,” says Borrie. “My mother taught me that her spirit continued, the soul of her persisted, and she invited me to stay connected and loving in whatever way I could. I tried to do this with song and music, through touch, by following her lead, by taping her voice—and finally by offering her story, our story, in The Long Hello.”

We’ll continue the conversation on our website, alzheimerbc.org, and social media.

How would you like to be remembered?

Our memory helps us build and maintain our identity. It tells us who we are, the experiences we have lived, the friends and family we have and the knowledge we have accumulated over the years. Recently, at some of our support groups, we asked people with dementia to talk about the kind of memories they hope to create for themselves and their families. We will be thinking about this question and sharing some of their responses this month.

Memory loss is also one of the most commonly-known signs of dementia. For more information about memory loss, please refer to: halzbc. org/Memory-Loss-PDF.

Creating awareness through language.

Language is our unique human gift and a powerful means of communication.

Words can inform and comfort us, excite and Celebration of Life thrill us or inspire action. Words can also rattle our nerves, discourage our initiative Saturday, September 19 and chip away at our 2:00 - 5:00 pm self-confidence.

We At the home of Barry and Lila Compton can react physically and emotionally to 7540 23rd Street what is said to us and BYOB and a chair about us.

Dazzling dahlias

DELUXE

Karen Bull and Bill Emery (left) opened their garden to the community, hoping the vast array of colour might lift spirits after days of smoky skies followed by clouds and rain. Karen, who has grown and judged dahlias competitively, has 400 varieties and over 1,000 plants in the garden—and a few pumpkins!
