Grand Forks Gazette

Grand Forks, Christina Lake and other rural communities in B.C. are eligible to benefit from an up to $75 million Rural Dividend designed to assist communities to transition their economies. The announcement about the rural dividend was made by Premier Christy Clark at the recent Union of British Columbia Municipalities on Sept. 25.

The decision to help smaller communities came on a recommendation from the Rural Advisory Council, which includes Grace McGregor, RDKB board chair and Christina Lake representative.

“It’s really exciting,” she told the Gazette.

“Really exciting for me because I chaired the Rural Steering Committee and I sit on the Rural Members of the Indo-Canadian community pitched in to donate $10,000 to the Grand Forks Rotary Club Advisory Council and we spent two days talkfor the spray park project.

Grand Forks Gazette Wednesday, October 7, 2015

The Boundary is in the South Okanagan - West Kootenay federal riding. There are five candidates vying to become Member of Parliament for our riding: Richard Cannings (NDP), Donnie Denesiuk (Liberal), Brian Gray (Independent), Marshall Neufeld (Conservative) and Samantha Troy (Green Party).

Many Boundary residents feel our region is distinct from both the South Okangan and the Kootenays, and so the Gazette took the opportunity to ask each candidate what he or she would do for the BOUNDARY if elected as Member of Parliament. Four candidates responded:

RICHARD CANNINGS NDP – New Democratic Party

I know the Boundary country fairly well since my wife came from Grand Forks and we spend a lot of time there, and in the Boundary I see similarities to other interior communities that are having a hard time attracting working families and servicing a large seniors population.

If elected as your MP I would work hard to assist the local government in the Boundary to access federal government infrastructure funding which provides good jobs while building needed services. The NDP will increase direct transfers to municipalities and make it easier for smaller communities to be eligible for these funds.

Increasingly, people are moving to beautiful parts of the country such as the Kettle Valley because of the outdoors lifestyle.

Many can work out of their own homes, but we must ensure that infrastructure elements such as broadband Internet are available to rural communities. These small businesses are important job

creators in Canada, and the NDP would encourage them to grow by lowering the small business tax rate from 11 to 9 per cent.

Good jobs are key to keeping people in smaller communities, and in B.C. the forest industry is often the primary employer. An NDP government would invest in forest product manufacturing facilities to help maintain or retool for competitiveness, and support research and development for new products, manufacturing methods and new wood biomaterials.

Seniors are also retiring to the Boundary Country in increasing numbers.

Many pensioners live near or below the poverty line, so we must ensure that their incomes are sufficient for a comfortable retirement.

The NDP would roll back the age of eligibility for Old Age Security from 67 to 65, add $400 million to the Guaranteed Income Supplement (lifting 200,000 seniors out of poverty), fix the Canada Pension Plan so that people can properly save for retirement, and maintain pension income splitting at tax time.

The frequency and intensity of fires is a concern in the Boundary as is water quality and quantity.

Climate change and the need to lower carbon emissions is a serious issue for the NDP as is preparing for community emergencies. The NDP would restore funding to the Joint Emergency Preparedness Program quietly cut by the Conservatives in 2012.

As a biologist, I know

Are unwanted furry houseguests moving in?

that proper standards and funding to maintain clean water and a healthy environment is essential.

Finally, access to good health care is an extremely important issue, and many Canadians are having a difficult time to even find a family doctor. To alleviate this, a federal NDP government will help the provinces hire 7,000 health professionals and build or expand 200 community clinics across the country.

Health services for seniors are a particular concern; last year the NDP drafted a National Seniors Care Health Strategy that includes funding to expand home care services, help provinces build more nursing home beds and palliative care services.

And the NDP will bring in a universal Pharmacare plan for full prescription drug coverage.

CONNIE DENESIUK Liberal

The economic, social, and environmental issues which are of concern to residents of Boundary Communities share equal importance with those of the riding’s largest com-

munity, Penticton.

A Liberal government will invest in physical and social infrastructure projects to kick start our stalled economy. We will begin that process right after the election. Young people in the Boundary, and those who have been forced into mid-career job searches by an uncertain and changing economic situation, need that help now, not in five years.

Our plan for skills training funding for colleges such as Selkirk will assist with that aim. Rather than a “top down” approach, we will work with employers and labour to arrive at an appropriate apprenticeship ratio for all federal infrastructure projects.

I will advocate for consultation with B.C. forestry and mining industry representatives in B.C. on diversification and value-added opportunities for businesses typically located in small communities.

Environmental research to help assess and mitigate effects of climate change, including wildfires and drought, is also critical to the survival of small communities throughout the Boundary. I would advocate for federal consultation with the B.C. government for improved disaster response measures.

A Liberal government would invest $200 million each year to support innovation and clean technologies in the forestry and agricultural sectors, both of which are important to the Boundary economy.

As Justin Trudeau observed: “The environment and the economy are linked, like paddles and canoes. If you don’t take care of both, you’re never going to get where you’re going.”

Adequate social infrastructure, as advanced by the Liberal Party platform, is critical to Boundary’s communities. Affordable housing, seniors housing, and continuation of federal funding for agencies

such as the Boundary Family and Individual Services Society are vital needs.

As a further example, the Midway post office is a community gathering place, which the Conservatives’ proposed community mailboxes can never replace.

I have met with the adjacent riding’s candidate Don Johnston to discuss shared advocacy for the rural portions of our ridings. Small communities in the Boundary are important links between the West Kootenays and the South Okanagan, and must not be overlooked by their Member of Parliament.

Over the past 16 months I have made regular visits to Boundary communities in all four seasons. I will continue that important contact with constituents if I am elected as your MP.

MARSHALL NEUFELD Conservative

Residents of the Boundary have many of the same concerns as other Canadians. Whether I’m door knocking in Grand Forks, Midway, Greenwood or other communities, I hear concerns about jobs, the economy and taxation.

The Conservative government has the only responsible position on these issues. Today Canadians pay the lowest federal taxes than they have at any time in the last 50 years.

Income tax on small businesses has been reduced to 11 per cent and we are committed to re-

ducing it to 9 per cent.

GST has been reduced from 7 per cent to 6 per cent to 5 per cent, saving all Canadians money on nearly every purchase.

Pension income splitting was introduced to help our seniors. The Conservative government committed to this promise to help people in their retirement years against stanch NDP opposition.

We’ve introduced income splitting for families, saving many families up to $2,000 per year. The NDP also voted against family income splitting and have committed to remove this benefit.

The tax savings have been so significant that the average family of four pays $6,600 less in federal tax per year than they did in 2006.

The Conservatives are committed to reducing taxes for small businesses, families, seniors and individuals.

If re-elected, we will raise the annual pension deduction limit per person from $1,000 to $2,000 and all the way to $4,000 for single seniors. This will mean that every senior household (whether you are a couple or single) will be able to have a combined tax saving of $600 per year.

At the same time both the Liberals and NDP want to raise taxes on working Canadians. For a person earning $60,000 annually, the Liberals propose raising payroll taxes by about $1,000 and the NDP propose raising payroll taxes by $1,500. The Conservative Party stands opposed to these proposals and in fact will reduce payroll taxes by about $200 per year by 2017.

The NDP have also proposed raising taxes for businesses by 13 per cent starting next year. This is irresponsible and will affect the economy. If the NDP plan is enacted, it will cost jobs.

YOUR NEWS VIEW

UBCM a great benefit The Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) met again this year in Vancouver for their annual convention. UBCM is always a great chance for local councillors and mayors to meet and pick the brains of other councillors and mayors from around the province. The delegates in attendance also get the chance to vote on a number of important issues to bring forward to the provincial government. UBCM gives local governments from throughout B.C. a stronger voice by acting together to take a united position.

For rookie Grand Forks Mayor Frank Konrad and councillors Chris Hammett and Colleen Ross, it’s a great opportunity to schmooze. After hitting the ground running with an almost new council, the trio have been at City Hall for about eight months.

They’ve gotten their feet wet and weathered some tough storms already. Hearing about how other municipalities are dealing with common issues such as urban deer, water meters and infrastructure costs can prove invaluable. In most cases other communities have already gone through or are going through similar issues. Councillors can learn what worked and what didn’t and perhaps what to focus their energies on.

Experience can only be gained through time but learning about other people’s experience can only benefit our first year council members.

Let’s try other methods to solve our deer problem first On The Ball CRAIG LINDSAY At the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM), the province pledged $100,000 and other forms of support for dealing with the urban deer issue in B.C. Grand Forks may be the next B.C. municipality heading toward a deer cull. A referendum question asked at the last civic election came back with 60 per cent of those voting in favour of a cull.

Council will eventually have to decide whether the city will have a cull or not. It’s important for council to look at all the facts from both sides and remember that the referendum is non-binding.

It is important to listen to the people; however, the referendum is just a snapshot of people’s opinions on that date. Another referendum could be done today and it

might be totally different.

Councillors were voted in to make important decisions for the good of the city and the residents.

There’s no doubt the city has done due diligence through the deer committee and studied the local deer through deer counts, deer collaring and tracking, and other ways.

It’s also important to study what other municipalities have done. Some have looked at relocation, sterilization and other methods. A deer cull has been used in some places such as Cranbrook, which has done it twice and are looking at a third cull. Both Cranbrook and Kimberley have had to postpone culls due to vandalism to the clover traps.

Invermere kills 30 deer a year at a cost of $30,000. They have also had to deal with lawsuits and protests.

A cull would trim the numbers of deer, at least for a short time.

But they would come back unless all the deer were killed. And then

in a few years we would be looking at another cull.

I’ll admit I’m swayed by how cute those little bambis are with their doe eyes. If they were skunks or wild boars would most people care if they were culled?

Who knows but it would be a lot easier. I can tell you Miley Cyrus wouldn’t come to B.C. to save the swamp rat. No, she came to protest the killing of the majestic Arctic wolf.

Clearly, there are no easy answers here. The deer, as well as the occasional cougar or bear that wander into urban areas are just doing what is natural and searching for food. For deer, the city is a much safer and mostly predatorfree zone.

Us humans have made things mighty tempting for the deer (and other animals) by leaving garbage out, food out, fruit and berries on trees and shrubs, and even feeding them. People need to get the message that feeding the deer, even when they seem to be starv-

ing, just makes them reliant on hand-outs. The fed deer will just keep coming back.

Killing to remove or reduce a problem doesn’t seem to be a very good answer.

Any killing of an animal would be traumatic. But the preferred method for culling involves using basically a hockey net (clover trap) which traps the deer inside and then it is shot with a bolt gun.

I’d bet that’s a bit more traumatic than, say, relocating or even sterilizing a deer.

Council has already given permission to the deer committee to seek a special permit with the intention to cull up to 80 deer (at the July 20 regular council meeting). If the permit is approved, the deer committee would once again have to come before council to get a resolution passed to have the cull. Funding would also have to be determined.

Why not try other methods beyond collaring before resorting to a cull?

Opinion to the editor

Letters

Hardly a basis for any consensus Editor The Gazette: In last week’s letter, “The 97 per cent claim discredited,” it is only fair to point out that the article and petition quoted to support the idea that “97 per cent of climate scientists agree that humans are warming the planet” is in fact a myth, are written or sponsored by well-known climate change deniers Joseph Blast and Roy Spencer, who wrote the Wall Street Journal article.

Both are associated with the Koch-affiliated Heartland Institute, which also spent years defending the tobacco industry and lobbied against public-health regulations.

The Global Warming Petition Project has been called flawed at best and fraudulent at worst by those who have examined the organizers methodology—for example, it is never revealed what

percentage of the 9,000 scientists with PhDs actually have expertise in earth science, and it is not reported how many petitions (as opposed to a well-designed scientific survey) were sent out and how many were returned with unfavourable responses.

In any case, the 31,000 signatories only represents 1.2 per cent of scientists in the U.S.A., so hardly a basis for any kind of consensus.

As for the George Mason University survey mentioned in support of the idea that humans are not affecting global warming, it is odd that if one goes to the website for their Centre for Climate Change Communication, the very first statement made is, “Climate change is the result of human actions and choices.”

NASA reports that it “has more than a dozen earth sci-

ence spacecraft/instruments in orbit studying all aspects of the Earth system (oceans, land, atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere), with several more planned for launch in the next few years.”

Their conclusion: “Multiple studies published in peerreviewed scientific journals show that 97 per cent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: climatewarming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities.

“In addition, most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position.”

These are listed on their website for you to read for yourself. Discredited? I think not.

Larry Hudema, Grand Forks

There is much to be thankful for Editor, The Gazette: Wherever I go in town these days I’m asked, “Are you OK?” And, “Did you find a place?”

I really didn’t realize how much concern there was for my well-being after the fire in Rock Creek and Westbridge.

As we evacuated and moved in convoy up Highway 33, we turned and watched the neighbourhood go up in flames. I thought I had lost everything but later received word my home in Westbridge was miraculously spared.

The fire had danced around the edge of the garden, swirling with the wind, even scorched around the van seat I had left on the Trans Canada Trail for weary travellers, not touching it at all, but four feet away leapt and took out the hydro pole.

There seemed neither rhyme nor reason for how the fire danced and took out some

homes and outbuildings and left others.

I am most grateful for all the caring that has been shown me and all the help that I have received, which includes good friends who gave me a place to stay for the time I was homeless, and the great guys who helped me move.

And while I settle into a new home, with all my stuff intact, I also send out gratitude to all those who helped on the fires, volunteered and donated food and clothing and funds for those who have lost their homes.

I will never forget those 15

minutes of running to evacuate ahead of that roaring wall of wind, heat and fire. Thankfully no lives were lost.

There was property loss, and animals and wildlife, and the beauty of the valley. What was gained was new insight into “things” and “stuff,” fellowship of friends and community, and while seeing the green grass begin to grow, a reminder that life continues and renews.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! For there is certainly so much to be thankful for.

cused on: 1. Building community capacity and quality of life; 2. Expanding learning and skill development opportunities; 3. Providing opportunities for rural youth to stay and return to rural communities; and 4. Encouraging collaboration and partnerships between rural British Columbians and First Nations.

As chair of the Rural B.C. Steering Committee, McGregor was crucial in getting the Rural Advisory Council started. Now with the steering committee finished, McGregor meets with the advisory council a couple of times a year to discuss important issues pertaining to rural communities. Donna Barnett, the Parliament Secretary, heads the Rural Advisory Council.

animals and flora therein. For the latter it is more like a scalping and flattening of everything alive.

So perhaps we need to choose our words more carefully when we proudly announce our actions as “sustainable.” Sustainable in the dictionary: “Involving methods that do not completely use up or destroy natural resources.”

Angelica Herlihy, Grand Forks

McGregor said any money received by Christina Lake from the Rural Dividend would be greatly appreciated because the Lake has difficulty matching provincial grants, which is usually a prerequisite for applying.

“The problem is grant money is allocated for certain things only and you always have to match those dollars—you have to put some ‘skin’ in the game,” she said. “It’s very difficult for us in rural, rural B.C. to come up with that. We need help with economic development plans to go forward. Even the planning part and research part of economic development costs money. So we are in need of a helping hand— that’s what this dividend will be designed to do.”

McGregor said that the program has yet to any specific terms of reference but expects that will be put together in the coming months.

The $25 million per year pilot program will run from 2016-17 to 2018-19 and only be available to communities outside urban areas and having a population of 25,000 people or under.

As the global resource economy is in transition some of the communities that contribute the most to B.C. are feeling the pinch,” said Premier Christy Clark in the press release. “The Rural Advisory Council was set up to help identify opportunities for communities to diversify their economies—and now we’re delivering on our commitment to a rural dividend.”

Details are expected to be finalized by March 2016.

Clark promises wildfire funds $10 million top-up to prevention initiative announced

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Undoubtedly a response to the wildfires that plagued the province this summer, Premier Christy Clark announced a topup of $10 million to the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative and tasked the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to look at other ways to reduce wildfire risk through on-the-ground operations.

The announcement was made by the premier at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conference on Sept. 25.

The announcement brings the total amount provided to the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative to $78 million.

The program is intended to help local governments and First Nations significantly reduce wildfire risks around their communities, especially in interface areas where urban developments border on forests and grasslands.

As well, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural

Resource Operations will be developing the Forest Enhancement Program to undertake the salvage harvesting of dead timber, wildfire risk reduction and fuel management operations, and to enhance reforestation efforts and wildlife habitat restoration in stands severely impacted by wildfires and mountain pine beetles in the Interior.

“Given the prospect of increasingly hot, dry summers, I’ve asked Minister Thomson to come up with new, innovative approaches to complement the work that has already been done,” said Premier Clark in a press release. “That starts with helping communities manage higher risk land immediately around them.”

Grace McGregor, RDKB board chair and director for Christina Lake, was very pleased with the announcement. “I’m really excited about it. The message this year to people out there is if you have not taken care of things around your buildings, you need to care of that. This is a really good announcement. I know there have been many people waiting for

Fire Prevention Week 2015

Fire Prevention Week is this week, Oct. 4 - 10.

Did you know that roughly half of home fire deaths result from fires reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when most people are asleep?

Smoke alarms save lives. If there is a fire in your home, smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out. In fact, having a working smoke alarm cuts the chances of dying in a reported fire in half! That’s why, this year’s Fire Prevention Week theme aims to keep your family safe with working smoke alarms in every bedroom. The official theme is “Hear the Beep where you Sleep. Every bedroom needs a working smoke alarm.”

We hope everyone will install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleep-

ing area, and on every level of your home, including the basement. Larger homes may need more alarms.

National Fire Protection Assoication (NFPA) is excited to share this important information so everyone better understands the life-saving value of home smoke alarms. Visit NFPA’s “Smoke Alarm Central” and Fire Prevention Week website for more information, resources, messages, videos and a fun, interactive quiz to test your knowledge.

If its not working – they will either put in new batteries or replace the unit or install a new one if you do not have one at your convenience.

Boundary Park Shopping Centre, 7320 - 4th Street, Grand Forks, BC

By Kevin MacKinnon, Deputy Fire Chief Fire prevention week is typically about residential fire protection. The theme this year is “Hear the Beep where you Sleep” and is focused on having working and tested smoke alarms. For the Boundary area, this summer’s wildfire events make property preparation following the FireSmart guidelines an appropriate regional theme for Fire Prevention Week in addition to the national campaign.

By early July it had become apparent that conditions in the Boundary were significant for the risk of wildfires, and that wildfire season was starting much earlier than usual. Things started with a below-average snow pack and earlier-thanusual melt and river levels that lowered much earlier than normal. This year, the region saw the hottest June on record, and in early July there were frequent thunderstorms; the last meaningful rain had been the first few days of June.

The Southeast Fire Centre imposed a full burning ban, including campfires, earlier than usual. Most of the Southern Interior was at a fire danger rating of 4 “High”, but the western part of the zone was at level 5 “Extreme”.

On Aug. 13, the wildfire in Rock Creek started sometime near 1:30 p.m. The fire grew to approximately 4,000 hectares in the first day, with 98 per cent in the first six hours. The drought conditions all summer along with wind, temperature, and humidity combined to create the ideal conditions, which led to one of the fastest moving fires in recent memory.

In the following days, the same winds led to some advanced fire branding from the Stickpin fire in Washington toward the Canadian border. This resulted in significant planning for action in the Christina Lake and Grand Forks areas, ultimately with an evacuation alert being

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK WHEREAS there is increasing public awareness of the dangers of fire throughout North America; AND WHEREAS the week of October 4th to 10th has traditionally been designated as Fire Prevention Week; NOW THEREFORE be it resolved that the Board of Directors of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary do hereby proclaim the week of October 4th to 10th, 2014 “Fire Prevention Week” in the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary.

Director Patricia Cecchini Director Neil Krog Director Ed Smith Director Marguerite Rotvold

Director Joe Danchuk Director Kathy Moore Director Mike Martin Director Ted Pahl

THANK YOU TO ALL AREA FIRE FIGHTERS FROM BOTH THE REGIONAL DISTRICTS OF KOOTENAY BOUNDARY and CENTRAL KOOTENAY AND THE BC WILDFIRE SERVICE FIRE FIGHTERS

issued for the southernmost parts of both valleys. In British Columbia, an evacuation alert is the “get ready” stage – evacuation orders are the “get out” level.

Between the Rock Creek and Stickpin fires, volunteers from the four Boundary-area fire departments worked with the BC Wildfire Service, other regional fire departments, contractors, and the Incident Management Team in charge of the American response to the Stickpin Fire. Air support activity made the Grand Forks airport extremely busy. There were several other fires, mostly lightning strikes, in the area during the same time period, which were being closely monitored.

When Sprinkler Protection Unit crews started deploying equipment, the reality of the situation was clearly recognized by residents. It was very encouraging to see people taking information from the BC FireSmart manual (available as a PDF online, www.embc.gov.bc.ca/ofc/interface/pdf/homeowner-firesmart.pdf , or linked from www.gffr.ca ) to clean up their yards and minimize fire danger conditions on their own properties.

Being proactive in keeping properties suitably maintained will be beneficial should conditions be favourable for such events in the future. All of the area fire services encourage reviewing the FireSmart manual and following its recommendations for making your home fire smart.

A group briefing was held at Dick Bartlett Park on the weekend the evacuation alert was issued in our area. Attendees included a collection of structural firefighters from here and some of the regional guys that came in from the West and Central Kootenays during the Stickpin event; several of the Canadian wildland firefighters that were working on the U.S. side were recalled back during the weekend while the evacuation alert was active.

Ladder-a-thon this weekend!

The Grand Forks Volunteer Firefighters Association holds a 24-hour “Ladder-a-thon” each year, usually on the August long weekend. Over the years, this annual fundraiser has seen proceeds donated to various local or national concerns, or been used for training equipment within the department. This year, the date of the event was moved to coincide with the Firebells and Fanfare antique fire truck show, which was subsequently cancelled due to the Rock Creek and Stickpin fires.

The volunteers had already collected advance pledges for their time up the ladder, so to honour those pledges they’ve decided to wrap up Fire Prevention Week with a rescheduled Ladder-a-thon, which will be held from 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9 through 3 p.m. on Saturday the 10th at the Overwaitea Foods parking lot.

Other Fire Prevention Week activities include a smoke detector check-up in partnership with Panago on Thursday evening, and an Open House at the downtown Fire Hall on Second Street Saturday morning, Oct. 10.

On behalf of the Residents of the Entire Boundary Area, the RDKB Board of Directors wishes to thank all those Fire Fighters who dedicated their time to training and to protecting the residents during the recent 2015 wildfires.

One can never appreciate the significant importance of having local fire departments until an emergency or a tragedy strikes. The brave men and women from the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary and Central Kootenay who volunteer their time and who dedicate many hours to training to ensure they are ready in the event of a fire are appreciated.

Thank You

HISTORY

The Christina Lake Fire Department was formed in the 1940s as a group of volunteer citizens who tried to provide fire service to the Community. In 1990 the Christina Lake Fire Department re-organized and now reports to the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary.

ORGANIZATION

Christina Lake Fire Rescue is Paid-on-Call. The Fire Chief reports to the board of directors of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary and the Christina Lake Fire Department Society.

Taking the heat – a day in the boots of a firefighter

By Naomi Yamamoto Minister of State for Emergency Preparedness

VICTORIA—As fire chiefs from across Canada assemble in Victoria last month for the annual Fire Rescue Conference, I donned the same heavy gear and breathing apparatus that firefighters do when rushing in where most others would rush out.

I felt the sweltering heat of the equipment and saw the blinding haze of a smoke-filled building. Wearing 30 kg of gear, I tried to push down the feelings of unease that welled up inside me as I navigated an unfamiliar structure threatened by flames.

For me, during the fire ops training at the Vancouver Fire training facility, the flames were real but the conditions controlled. Yet firefighters all across British Columbia, responding to the real threat, face danger in the eye each time the garage doors roll up and the fire trucks roll out. I had the opportunity to see, first hand, what these exceptional men and women face when they have to meet the challenge of courage every time the call of service comes in, and I felt such gratitude, that I know is shared by all of us, for the safety net that all first responders provide in our province.

The event is meant to replicate the challenges confronted by firefighters every day in the line of duty, and while mine was only a test and I was safe, the work was hard in conditions that were tough, and the challenge to perform under pressure was immense. It was strenuous, both physically and mentally.

I am reminded by this experience that we must take the opportunity to thank those among us that routinely stand up, and stand out, as heroes when disaster strikes. One way we can consider thanking local firefighters for their selfless effort to help make our communities safe is to nominate them for the Medal of Good Citizenship.

As the new minister of state for emergency preparedness, responsible as well for the BC Office of the Fire Commissioner, I am committed to helping elevate fire prevention awareness and fan the flames of fire safety. Oct. 5 10 is Fire Prevention Week, an opportunity for us to review our evacuation plans and practise our fire drills, test the batteries in our fire alarms and ensure our fire extinguishers are serviced.

Here in B.C. the number one source of residential fires is stove top burners, but other top ignition sources include electrical, fireplaces and chimneys, as well as cigarettes. Many fires are preventable, yet statistics show that on average, fire kills eight people each week in Canada, with residential fires accounting for 73 per cent of those fatalities. Join me in * In British Columbia: thanking a firefighter • Dead batteries were found in smoke alarms in 302 residential fires for the service they resulting in 39 injuries and 7 fatalities provide to public • Power had not been connected or smoke alarms were found dissafety, and the best abled/off in 230 residential fires resulting in 32 injuries and 7 fatalities • Smoke alarms were found to be ineffective due to their unsuitable thanks of all comes by location in 582 fires resulting in 15 injuries and 1 fatality refusing to be a statis• Regrettably, no smoke alarms were installed in 1,966 residential fires tic by simply becomresulting in 113 injuries and 20 fatalities ing better equipped * Stats are gathered from data from 2009-2014 to show the last five years.

City takes motion to UBCM CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) is a group of mayors, councillors, regional directors, and staff from around the province. The group meets once a year at the annual convention in Vancouver. This year the convention took place on Sept. 23-25.

The group votes on a number of motions which, if endorsed, are carried to other levels of government and other organizations involved in local affairs.

Policy implementation activities have expanded from annual presentations to cabinet to UBCM involvement in intergovernmental committees, regular meetings with ministers, and contact on a daily basis with senior provincial government.

Attending this year’s UBCM from Grand Forks were Mayor Frank Konrad, councillors Chris Hammett, Christine Thompson and Colleen Ross, and CAO Doug Allin. RDKB board chair and Christina Lake representative Grace McGregor was also

in attendance.

Grand Forks’ motion about marijuana derivatives passes at UBCM Grand Forks council brought forward one motion to UBCM, regarding marijuana derivatives, and it was endorsed on Sept. 25. The motion stated that the City of Grand Forks, on behalf of its citizens, believes that everyone has a right to access the best medical treatment available and further, that marijuana derivatives such as cannabinoid oils have been shown to have great benefit to patients that cannot use the approved smokeable product.

The motion read: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM request the federal government to include marijuana derivatives as part of the legal medical marijuana program, and further review the legislation and options for greater local access.

Deer motion fails

Although the deer committee still has yet to receive information from the province about

a permit to cull deer in Grand Forks, there was a motion at UBCM regarding providing resources and building partnerships with Health Canada and local governments to address deer over-population. The motion, however, was not endorsed.

The preamble to the motion read: Whereas the combination of favourable habitats, no natural predators, and the inability to allow hunting have contributed to expanding urban deer populations and exacerbated the problem of human-deer conflict in urban areas.

Infrastructure money

Premier Christy Clark in her speech at UBCM announced there would be up to $45 million put into a cost-shared fund to help small and medium communities build or repair infrastructure from water and sewer systems to road. That money will be matched by the federal government, with local governments using matching funds as well.

The money is available for communities of 100,000 or less.

No injuries in collision POLICE BRIEFS By Craig Lindsay Head on collision On Sept. 29 at 4:02 p.m., Grand Forks RCMP responded to a head on collision at the intersection to 19th Street and Central Avenue (Highway 3).

“Upon arrival there was a Ford Windstar in the east bound lane and a Ford moving van sort of facing south,” said Cpl. Richard Lanz. “An investigation revealed that the moving van made a left turn in front of the Windstar van.”

A violation ticket was issued to the driver of the moving van, a 74-year-old male from Grand Forks, for failing to yield. The driver of the Windstar was a 72-year-old male from Quathiaski Cove, B.C. There were no injuries.

Open liquor in car On Sept. 30 at 1:30 a.m. a vehicle was checked by the RCMP on Highway 3 and Third Street in Grand Forks. “As a result of the check, open liquor was located in the vehicle,” said Lanz. “A violation ticket was issued. During this search there was found what was suspected to be six tablets of ecstasy found.”

The driver, a 28-year-old female from Oliver, was charged with having open liquor in a vehicle.

Lock cut On Oct. 1 at 11:32 a.m., police were called to a

property just outside of Christina Lake on Highway 3.

“A lock to a fence had been cut which possibly could have been from hunters but this is not certain,” said Lanz.

There are no suspects at this time.

Rollover

On Oct. 2 at 7:07 p.m. RCMP attended to a single vehicle rollover on North Fork Road.

“The lone driver of the vehicle stated they were going south on North Fork and were going too fast and the vehicle began to fishtail as it went around the corner,” said Lanz. “The driver lost control of the vehicle and it overturned. Another possible cause of the vehicle was inadequate tires on the vehicle.”

A violation ticket was issued for driving too fast for road conditions. The driver was an 18-year-old female from Grand Forks.

Vehicle broken into

On Oct. 5 at 9:40 a.m., police received a report that a vehicle had been broken into while parked on 17th Street.

“Theft from the vehicle occurred sometime over the weekend,” said Lanz. “The vehicle was left unlocked.”

Stolen from the vehicle was a Garmin GPS unit.

“This is a reminder to all people to secure their vehicles and ensure that they are locked,” said Lanz.

More charges laid against suspects SHERI REGNIER Trail Times

More charges have been laid against two young men following a Sept. 6 incident that began with a Grand Forks armed robbery and ended with a foot chase near Rossland.

Rylee Andrew Shipley, 18, of Nova Scotia and 19-year old Collton Emery Knowles from Alberta, are now charged with two other armed robberies, one in Kamloops and the other in Chilliwack, in the days preceding the Kootenay Boundary crimes.

Following an investigation by the Kootenay Boundary Regional RCMP, as well as Kamloops and Chilliwack detachments, on Tuesday, Sgt. Darren Oelke released details about the duo’s crime spree.

Oelke, from the Greater Trail RCMP, reports Shipley and Knowles used a firearm to rob a pizza delivery person of his car in Kamloops on Sept. 3. The pair drove the stolen vehicle to Chillwack, then robbed a convenience store in disguise and with a firearm.

Following that incident, Shipley and Knowles

travelled to Grand Forks and committed an armed robbery against a pizza delivery person just after 8 p.m. Sept 6, taking his vehicle and cash.

Then, at 8:45 p.m. a Trail police officer encountered the stolen vehicle, a 2004 Pontiac Sunfire, heading toward Rossland on Highway 3B. When police attempted to stop the vehicle, the perpetrators fled at high rate of speed, lost control on a corner and struck a rock wall.

One male was arrested at the scene of the accident, but the other fled on foot and was tracked down a short time later by a police dog.

“It is a complex file so all the evidence is not yet before Crown,” Oelke told the Trail Times following the Rossland arrest.

Both men are charged with multiple offences including robbery with a firearm during the commission of an offence for the Kamloops incident, and using a firearm and disguise during the Chillwack robbery. Those add to the Grand Forks offences of robbery with a firearm, possession of stolen property, possession of a prohibited firearm, flight from police, and other firearmrelated charges.

Peek-a-bear Thank you, volunteers!

The Grand Forks branch of the Royal Canadian Legion held a volunteer appreciation day on Sunday at the Legion. Volunteers were treated to pizza, chips and cake. There was also a horseshoe tournament played on the outdoor area.

Bears are a continuing sight, and this one found on Riverside a few weeks ago is one of the most endearing photos. Photographer Karen Bitz said, “I went for a walk on the afternoon of Sept. 23 on the path by Riverside Drive expecting to get some nice photos of the river. All of a sudden this bear popped up the river bank. I don’t know which of us was more surprised. He immediately climbed on the tree and my first reaction was to get out of there as fast as I could. But without even thinking about it I found myself snapping a picture.”

CALLING ALL ARTISANS Bujor Tanasescu and his wife Gabby have been hard at work building a church in the Ruckle area of Grand Forks.

Church a labour of love CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

There are many fine hobbies that people pursue in their spare time, particularly after retirement. There’s knitting, golfing, boating, travelling and a whole host of other activities that are good fun and can be productive too.

For one Grand Forks resident, his hobby is a little off the mainstream.

Bujor Tanasescu, who is originally from Romania, is building a church in the Ruckle Addition area in his spare time.

“It started about 10 years ago when we came back to Canada from Chicago and our son was about three months and we needed to baptize him,” said Tanasescu. “We went all around and there was no Romanian Church around here. We had no choice but to go to the Anglican Church.”

Tanasescu said he was very appreciate of Reverend Shenstone of the Anglican Church for bap-

Spaghetti dinner a Grad 2016 fundraiser TORI STAVENJORD

Thank you for supporting our grad class!

tizing his child, but he still missed a couple of key parts from the Romanian Orthodox Church he left behind: Easter and Christmas.

“On Easter, we used to go to the church and meet friends that you sometimes would only see once a year,” he said. “People used to go out at midnight and go around the church three times and then go home with a candle and they’re happy for a new start. And Christmas, everybody likes. So I said to my wife Gabby that I wanted to build a Romanian Church because I have my grandson who I want to baptize in this church.”

Tanasescu left Romania 25 years ago and has spent time in five different countries (Ukraine, East Germany, West Germany, Iraq and U.S.) as well as Romania and Canada.

After speaking with different churches and getting help from them with various tasks such as the baptizing of his son, Tanasescu decided against having a strictly Romanian Church and opening it up to all.

“I want the church to represent all those churches that were so nice to me in my lifetime,” he said. “I decided a year ago it would no longer be called the Romanian Church but just simply the Church.”

Tanasescu said going to church in Romania did not mean it was a place you went to pray and “be fanatical and religious.”

“In Romania when people would get together and talk, people around them would say, ‘Oh, they’re in the church.’ People that get together because they have something to share they would form a church and come together.”

Tanasescu is not sure when the Church will be completed. He does have the frame and the roof built. He is hoping it will be functional come next summer. He is there working most of the day on building the Church with help from his wife and other friends.

“There is still the stair house to come and the bell tower,” said Tanasescu. “There has to be a bell to ring twice a year for Easter and for Christmas. And maybe when there is a baptism.”

Tanasescu calls the Church his “hobby building.” He said it will be an ongoing project for a while.

In his building permit with the city, the building is indeed purposed as a hobby building. The details of the project are listed as: hobby activities, chess, bridge, garden, orchard and church.

The building will be two stories high with a main floor area of 800 square feet. The estimated cost is $55,000.

Tanasescu has many other ideas for uses for the building, including hosting a fall fair or Octoberfest, as well as a borscht cook-off festival.

“It would be a nice place for people to come together and make nice things happen,” he said.

Fashion show, auction to help rebuild home

Gazette Staff

Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC is taking steps to support the fire relief efforts in Rock Creek by rebuilding a home for a family that lost their home in the fire.

The planning of a benefit fashion show and silent auction are now well underway in partnership with Heather Smith’s Yellow Door Boutique in Greenwood.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the McArthur Centre in Greenwood, and will include ladies, men’s and children’s fashions, a silent auction and live entertainment.

Event organizer Cindy Fairs, a director with HFH, is thrilled that her organization is able to assist some of those affected by the events of Aug. 13.

“Habitat is a humanitarian organization and the board of directors felt compelled to become involved,” said Fairs. “Many

businesses, organizations and individuals have contributed to supporting the families affected.”

“This seemed like a natural fit for our organization—a tragic event has taken place in one of our local communities and building homes is what we do, so let’s do it,” she added.

“Thus, the organization intends to raise money to build a house, with the Yellow Door taking a lead in the event planning with Habitat.”

In addition to the Nov. 7 fundraising event, Fairs and Smith are also planning a calendar, the proceeds of which will go entirely to the house-building project.

The calendar will feature a series of lighthearted portraits of regional firefighters, and the Times’ Andrew Tripp has volunteered his expertise to create the images.

Habitat homes are built by volunteers and community partners and are traditionally sold at fair market value with an interestfree mortgage, and mortgage payments

that do not exceed 25 per cent of the homeowner’s income. To date, Habitat has built 20 homes within southeast B.C. Fairs added, “Unlike the traditional standard of selecting a family based on a screening criteria and then holding the mortgage for families that it supports, Habitat will be raising funds to rebuild on land pre-owned by the homeowner.”

The name of the family has not yet been released but will be announced at a later date once confirmed.

Rotary donates to fire relief

The Grand Forks Rotary Club wanted to help the victims of the Rock Creek fire and since they have traditionally sold their Kettle Corn at the Rock Creek Fall Fair, it was an easy decision to donate the net proceeds to the Rock Creek Fire Needs Committee. Pictured, the Needs Committee chair and RDKB Area E representative Vicki Gee receives a cheque for $2,400, presented by Rotary president Murray Knox. Surrounding Vicki are several Grand Forks Rotarians (back row, Jim and Lynn Burch; front row, Wendy McCulloch and Steve Babakaiff) and centre, RDKB chair and Wednesday, October 28 • 5:45 pm Rotarian Grace McGregor. The RDKB at Grand Forks Public Library is collecting the funds for the Needs North Door - 7342 5th Street Committee and individuals can still donate. The Nelson Daybreak Rotary Everyone Welcome Club also contributed an additional Light refreshments will be served $1,000 to the committee.

Firewood a need SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Moorjani’s story Joyce O’Doherty, MS, educator, hospice worker and grief counsellor, pictured above, read Dying to Be Me by Anita Moorjani and found it a fascinating, moving true story—so she facilitated a discussion about the book at the Grand Forks and Public Library Saturday. About 18 people came together to hear more about Moorjani’s “personal journey from cancer to near death to true healing.”

The Rock Creek/Westbridge Fire Needs Committee wants to begin by expressing our appreciation for all who are working so hard to help those affected by the fire. Through helping our neighbours, volunteering time, donating funds and items needed, and in many other ways, we are building up our community in a difficult time.

As many of you have said, we are Boundary strong!

It is important to us the community remains aware of what we are working on. We meet regularly to discuss the efforts being made to meet the needs that are out there. For some the needs remain the same; for others the needs are changing.

Firewood was identified as a primary need for the upcoming winter.

While we offered some coordination, the Kettle River Lionʼs Club and the Seventh Day Adventist Church of Westbridge both played a large part in having three logging truck loads of wood delivered to the Westbridge Hall, cut, split, and delivered to many homes in the fire zone.

Debris removal, danger tree assessment, and the rebuilding of outbuildings (such as animal shelters and pump houses) are all in process.

Together with the Red Cross, we con-

tinue to do individual assessments in order to know the needs out there.

Please contact us if you have unmet needs as a result of the fire.

An educational session is being organized for within the month of October. This will be an instructional time on helping the community deal with feelings of grief and loss; it will also offer guidance on dealing with the guilt felt when one has not lost their home while their friends and neighbours have. Be watching for the date, time, and location.

As a reminder, our committee consists of Joyce Evans, Cathy Riddle, Ryan van Kuik and Vicki Gee. We are advised by Bob Huff (Habitat for Humanity) and Helen James (Red Cross); Les Jackman (Kettle River Lions Club) has moved from being a member of the committee to an advisor.

Thank you to all who have donated so far! To donate you can either drop by the Greenwood Branch of the Heritage Credit Union or you can mail your donation to the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, 202 - 843 Rossland Ave., Trail, B.C., V1R 4S8 (specifying it is for the Rock Creek / Westbridge Fire Needs Committee). Either way you will receive a tax deductible receipt.

If you have any questions or needs, please contact us through Vicki Gee at 250-446-2042.

The KBFPC is truly a service for locals by locals. The memberowned cooperative is fostering collaboration and services for local growers and in so doing is keeping money in our community. The farmer members are proud to embrace the vision of integrity, thoroughness and commitment to promoting local food consumption using sustainable and humane practices in our local food sources.

The official launch on Saturday, Oct. 17, will be at the beautiful newly renovated Taghum Hall, located nine kilometres west of Nelson just past the Taghum Bridge.

It begins with a community potluck dinner at 6 p.m. followed by a presentation and discussion at 7 p.m. Then at 8 the party starts!

Live music will feature Ronnie Hayward on stand up bass, guitar and vocals. Other musicians are welcome to join him for a little local jam making.

Local producers and processors will be providing a “Taste of the Kootenays” with samples of their products during the evening. Event sponsors include Otter Books, the Kootenay Country Craft Distillery and the Nelson Star. All are welcome.

The KBFPC members come from Grand Forks to Creston, from the border north to Naksup and Argenta. Members will be deciding next year’s services at the annual general meeting in November. Interested food producers can contact regionalproducerscoop@gmail.com for information (or to arrange to showcase their products at the launch), or visit our website at www.kbfpc.ca.

Pamper yourself at Belle CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Last week’s puzzle solved

Joke of the WeeK: A new study found that more than 11 million people have quit Facebook in the last three years. And unfortunately, none of them were your parents.

Quote of the WeeK: Honesty is the best image.

– Tom Wilson, Ziggy (comic)

Everyone likes to be pampered. After a long day of work, taking care of the kids, going to soccer practice—life can be exhausting.

Why not take time out of your busy schedule for a nice pedicure or manicure. You can get it done at Belle Salon and Spa, which just opened on Second Street near Florence’s Jewellery. Belle, which is French for beauty, is a joint collaboration between two cousins: Allie Dickson and Kirsten Lachapelle. Both ladies outgrew their previous locations and were ready to expand their client base.

“Kirsten was working out of her house and I was working out of the studio down the street,” said Dickson. “The space was just too small for all my equipment. We wanted to expand and looked around for a couple of months and finally decided on this space.”

Dickson said the pair renovated the space and opened up on Sept. 1.

“It’s nice to be our own bosses,” said Lachapelle. “We’ve had lots of people stopping by and checking it out. We really want to encourage people to stop by and see what we offer.”

Dickson has been an esthetician for 12 years. “I do waxing, manicures, pedicures, tinting of the eyebrows and eyelashes, and gel nails,” she said.

Lachapelle is a hair stylist and nail technician. “I just took a waxing course and tinting course, so I do that as well,” said Lachapelle. “I’ve been doing hair for six years. I do colour, men’s cuts, women’s cuts, children’s cuts, styling.”

“Our idea was to have this as a one-stop shop for beauty,” said Dickson. “We’re looking at other courses to add to our ser-

vices.”

Although grooming and esthetics has long been popular for women, it is becoming more popular for males as men realize the importance of taking care of themselves.

“Men will come in for pedicures and waxing and some manicures as well,” she said.

Dickson said a pedicure involves getting the toenails trimmed and filed, the cuticles pushed back and trimmed, buff the nails and smooth them out and end with a foot massage.

“Some will get an exfoliate and paraffin wax dip,” she said.

“It really locks in the moisture from the lotion. It really leaves the feet soft.”

Dickson said there are several reasons why people get their nails and feet done.

“It’s about self-confidence as well as health,” she said.

“You’re on your feet all day.

The more you care for them the better. It’s like eating healthy.

You care for your feet, they’ll take care of you.”

Dickson said they also help with caring for ingrown nails.

“Even with calluses, if you get a strong callus build-up it can cause pain and you can end up with deep cracks,” she said.

“Especially the paraffin is good for that. We also have a certain line that is specific for that. It does a really good job. I just think it’s important to take care of your body.”

She added that the change in the season and the weather getting colder is a great time to care for those appendages.

“It’s very drying when the weather changes,” said Dickson. “People have been wearing flip flops which are probably one of the worst things for your feet. They’re not very supportive. They can be cheap and uneven and you get more callus build up.”

Both ladies agree that

grooming has become as much about self-care than the cosmetic benefits. “People are realizing the health benefits behind it,” said Dickson.

Lachapelle said nail art has become much more fancy and elaborate. “People used to just want the natural looking French tips with white, now everyone is into crazy art; fun colours, gems, bling, rhinestones, sparkles. People are definitely getting a lot more adventurous.”

“Things like Pinterest are really keeping us on our toes,” said Dickson.

Dickson works Monday, Tuesday and Friday, while Lachapelle is in Sunday, Monday with half days Friday, Saturday. Both strongly urge that clients phone first to make an appointment. Dickson is at 250443-9018, while Lachapelle can be reached at 250-443-9339.

They hope to expand to more days in the future, although both ladies have young children and are busy.

“We’re trying our best to be as flexible as possible,” said Dickson. “I do come in Tuesdays at 5 p.m. for some clients that can’t make it down during the day.”

Both girls were born and raised in Grand Forks. Both left for bigger centres as they grew up but came back.

“I just moved back last year,” said Lachapelle, who was in Kelowna but didn’t want to raise her child there. “I love the small town. You know everybody and you feel safe. I love the outdoors.”

“I moved away a few times as well but always found myself returning,” said Dickson.

“When I had my son I decided to stay. It’s a good place to raise kids. I love living here.”

The ladies are hoping to have a grand opening celebration in October.

“We have mostly parent coaches but there are a few that don’t have kids in minor hockey as well as on the board that don’t have kids in hockey that do it because they love the sport,” said Abetkoff.

Abetkoff said the Grand Forks teams are usually quite competitive in their leagues.

“Last year Grand Forks won the atom banner and peewees came in second and third,” she said.

“They’re definitely quite competitive.”

Grand Forks Minor Hockey is up and running for another year with six teams playing in six divisions. The teams are junior novice (5 and 6 years of age), novice (7,8), atom (9,10), peewee (11,12), bantam (13,14) and midget (15,16 and 17).

There are 85 players registered in Grand Forks minor hockey including 12 females.

League registrar Courtenay Abetkoff said that registration numbers have been holding steady.

“They’re pretty even total numbers but we’re finding higher numbers at the younger levels,” she said. “So I think it’s growing.”

Each team practices twice a week at Jack Goddard Memorial Arena and plays one game on the weekend (12 minimum) in interlocking schedules with teams from places like Trail, Castlegar, Nelson, Kaslo, Midway, Join other families at z GFREC Nakusp and a number of Ameridrop-in hockey can squads from Washington.

Wednesday, October 7, 2015

The Grand Forks Border Bruins won one of two weekend road games to move into a fourth place tie with Spokane in the Neil Murdoch Division.

On Friday, the team travelled to Creston to face the Thunder Cats, losing 3-1. The Cats took a 3-0 lead with all their goals coming in the first period.

Shayne Pluto brought the Bruins within two late in the second period but the team was unable to score again. Assisting on Pluto’s goal were Dylan Haney and Josh Gladman.

Picking up the loss in net for Grand Forks was Anthony Gallant, who stopped 43 shots out of 46.

“Going in our job was to limit their odd-man rushes in the first 10 minutes and scoring opportunities,” said head coach Emery Olauson. “We didn’t do a very good job.”

Despite picking up the loss, Olauson was pleased that the

Bruins were able to outscore the Cats in the final two periods.

“We felt like it was a real stepping stone as far as how our team played for 50 minutes. We kept up with a real good, veteran team. We thought heading into Princeton if we could play like that again we could get the W (win) and that was the case.”

Team captain Bryson Yee led the Bruins to that 5-3 win the following night with a hat-trick, which included both the winning goal and an empty netter for insurance.

Other goal scorers for GF were Brandon Savaia and Haney.

Nikki MacLurzynski got the win in goal for the Bears stopping 30 of 33 shots.

“I don’t know if we played quite as good,” said Olauson.

“We didn’t have that lapse in the first 10 minutes. We did give up the first goal but answered back soon after. Our power play was really good.”

Olauson said it was great to see the team captain (Yee) lead

the team with a hat-trick.

“Overall, we were pretty pleased with the weekend,” he said. “We lost a game but the trajectory is good. We went into Creston and battled a good team for 50 minutes of the game, we went into Princeton, a team in the middle of their division and come out with a W, that’s a pretty successful weekend.”

The Bruins now have a record of three wins, six losses and one over-time tie for seven points.

GF is once again on the road this Thanksgiving weekend with a trip east where they face Fernie on Friday and Kimberley on Saturday.

“They’re two great hockey clubs,” said Olauson. “It seems every weekend we’re playing teams gunning for a championship. We’ll be tested for sure.

Fernie has had great teams for years and Kimberley is the defending champions. Hopefully we come out with the same mindset we had for the last 100 minutes of this past weekend.”

Tracy talked about the programs the college offers and the different types of students who register. Tracy did say that the college was going to have to start charging tuition for ABE, which had previously been essentially free, starting in January due to changes in government regulations. The exact costing will likely come within the next two weeks.

The start of the school year always marks a spike in the number of enquiries to Child and Youth Mental Health agencies across the Kootenay Boundary. With one in five children and youth affected by mental health challenges, it’s a problem that is more widespread than many people realize.

To help bring a public face to the issue and provide a place for families, caregivers, children and youth to interact with each other, the volunteer led Kootenay Boundary Child and Youth Mental Health and Substance Use local action team has launched a new Facebook page.

Cluster of precious memories spread with a million tears Wishing God had spared you for a few more years.

So many things have happened when you were called away Many things we could have shared, have been spared to stay.

Many times we needed you Many times we cried If love would have saved you You would have never died.

You passed away without a goodbye But memories of you will never die.

The tears we shed can be wiped away But the ache in our hearts will always stay.
