Automotive Tip of the Week Higher octane or premium fuel does not give you better gas mileage and/or more power. Sportier cars have higher compression engines which generate more power and require higher octane fuel to prevent detonation. That’s where the myth of “premium = more power” came from.

Remembering Mocha

Mocha was a happy go lucky 10½-year-old Yochon (Yorkie/Bichon). She was everyone’s dog; a sweet, gentle, happy, lovable “puppy”. Her favourite pastime was watching animals on TV and being with her sister Chai. Mocha left us on December 27th to join the other doggie “Angels” She is sadly missed by her Mommy and sister Chai.

1976 It was learned at a city council meeting that building permits were issued this week to Wan-Ken Development of Rutland for some $200,000 worth of residential construction representing several new homes to be built in a new subdivision. 1981 City construction crews went back to work on the new city hall project after council unanimously gave fourth and final reading to a bylaw appropriating $150,000 from the Slag Sales Reserve Fund to complete the work. 1991 The number of spousal assaults reported to the Grand Forks RCMP detachment in 1990 showed a large increase over 1989. The 1990 number of 33 is almost triple the previous year’s figure of 12, and so far this year, RCMP officers have responded to four such calls. 1996 A split Grand Forks city council voted Monday to grant the Boundary Museum $20,000 instead of the $15,000 originally allotted. Without the additional funds the museum would have to reduce its hours, which would make it ineligible for other grants. 2001 Two Grand Forks residents have been charged after allegedly attempting to smuggle about 30 pounds of marijuana into the United States. The suspects face charges of possession of a narcotic for the purpose of trafficking and exporting an illegal narcotic. RCMP were alerted last Saturday around 6:30 p.m. by the Ferry County Sheriff’s department following suspicious activity along the U.S. border near Carson crossing. 2006 Monday night’s meeting of Grand Forks City Council marked the return of a television camera to the bi-weekly proceedings.

More info needed for Senior’s housing project at the Lake CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A proposed senior’s housing facility for Christina Lake still has many hurdles to jump before seeing the light of day. A public hearing was held at the Christina Lake Community Hall on Jan. 18 regarding the application by the Christina Lake Seniors Housing Society to rezone a parcel of Crown land for the facility. Based on issues raised at the hearing, staff is recommending the board consider directing staff to hold a second public hearing. Several of the comments against the proposed amendments raised concerns about what would happen to the land if it was rezoned and the senior housing did not proceed, as well as concerns over parking, access and riparian area protection. Attending the meeting were Grace McGregor, RKDB director for Area C/ChristinaLake; Jeff Ginalias, senior planner, and Carly Rimell, planner for RDKB; other RDKB staff members; housing society members; and approximately 58 members of the public. The hearing was for the proposed bylaw No. 1585 to amend Electoral Area C/Christina Lake’s Official Community Plan (OCP) bylaw No. 1250 and proposed bylaw No. 1586 to amend Electoral Area C/Christina Lake Zoning Bylaw No. 1300. Ginalias summarized the proposed OCP amendment to designate the area, which is 1.076 Ha, as multiple family residential and create a multiple family residential and create a multiple family residential development permit area within the Electoral Area C/Christina Lake OCP bylaw No. 1250 and to rezone this area as multiple family dwelling zone in the Electoral Area C/ Christina Lake zoning bylaw No. 1300. Ginalias also provided an overview of the Seniors Housing Society’s proposal which features a

single, two storey building with studio, one bedroom and two bedroom units. He also discussed the history of how they arrived at this proposal and the community outreach which had taken place prior to this bylaw amendment proposal. He further clarified that adoption of the bylaw did not authorize development and that an appraisal, purchase of the land, survey of the land and development permit would still be required prior to development. McGregor told the Gazette that they would have information before the next meeting. She said there have already been several public meetings already and there is still a great deal of misinformation being bantied about. “People just don’t get their facts straight, they don’t read the information and they don’t come out and have the conversation,” said McGregor. “We’ve had many public meetings and we’ll have another to address the issues because we want to make sure people get the right information so they can be informed.” McGregor said the zoning would need to be approved first before “crunching” any numbers and looking at costs and how the project would be paid for. Tara Werner attended the meeting and is one of the Christina Lake residents who is opposed to having the seniors project go ahead at that location. “It’s park land,” she said. “They’re talking about putting it basically right where there is a trail head that takes you right down to a beaver dam that has beaver and otter activity. I use that park. I like to go down and watch the otters play. There are eagles in there and deer.” Werner is concerned that the development will also need space for parking as well. “It looks like the parking area could encroach where the trail head is. Right now any number of people can drive right • See SENIORS page 11

Busy year for fire departments CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

It was a busy year in 2015 for both the Grand Forks Fire/Rescue (GFFR) and the Christina Lake Fire Rescue (CLFR) departments. Between helping with the wildfires surrounding the area, training, attending structure fires as well as other emergencies, the fire departments were indeed busy. At the Jan. 25 regular meeting of Grand Forks council, fire chief Dale Heriot presented his report for both December of 2015 and the entire year. In December, GFRD responded to 56 calls in total (six fire, 12 rescue and 38 first responder). For the year of 2015, the fire department responded to 615 total calls with 184 for fire, 61 rescue and 370 first responder. The report stated that the fire department was 30 per cent busier than in the previous busiest years (2013 and 2014). In comparison, in 2013 the GFFR attended 473 total calls (182 fire, 36 rescue, 255 first responder), while in 2014 they responded to 468 calls (171 fire, 41 rescue, 256 first responder). “It was a pretty significant jump,” said Kevin McKinnon, deputy fire chief. “If you look at the individual categories it’s not just one, all categories are up. It was pretty much across the board.” McKinnon said the biggest challenges last year were the Stickpin (Washington State) and

the Rock Creek fires in August. “Although that made a bunch of work not a lot of that shows up in our total,” he said. “That 615, our numbers for August, don’t reflect Stickpin because that work was done without us being paged out for it. The 615 are calls through 9-1-1 not the additional stuff like patrols for Stickpin.” MacKinnon said the fire department had 45 volunteers last year and are now at 50. In 2014 there were 39 volunteers. “The last two years we’ve been bumping our numbers up in part because of the increase in call volume,” he said. Other big news for the fire department last year was the arrival of the new 30 metre (100 foot) ladder truck, which came in at $1,071,459. “In some respects we’ve been fortunate we haven’t had any significant fires although we have had it out at a few calls,” said McKinnon. “We had a bit of a quiet period. The advantage of that is that we’ve been able to ensure everyone has been well trained on it so that when we do get a call we’re prepared.” McKinnon said the truck is working well and is a big asset to the fleet.

Family fun

With the participation of Mother Nature, Family Day in Grand Forks and the area was a big success. There was no shortage of fun things to do for the family all weekend and the great majority of it was free. The city put on a Family Day event downtown that was enjoyed by hundreds as they partook in bowling, road hockey, ATV rides and much more. New this year was a “Fun Mudder” obstacle course. The ice fishing derby at Wilgress Lake also benefitted from the sunshine with a strong crowd out there. If that wasn’t enough for families, there was also free swimming and skating offered by GFREC, as well as a very popular free ski day at Phoenix Mountain. Family Day is a relatively new holiday clocking in at three years old. The holiday offers a nice little break between the Christmas holidays and Spring Break. With the cold weather and snow we’ve had in January, it’s certainly nice to get a little respite as we rest and recharge our batteries. And being able to spend time with family is always a welcome treat.

Reckonings DELLA MALLETTE This past Groundhog Day, most of the furry prognosticators we look to for our winter outlook declared winter over. The State of Pennsylvania is famous for having the most wellknown groundhog out there: Punxsutawney Phil. He did not see his shadow and with great pomp and ceremony, the townspeople declared his determination. The findings were independently verified by a groundhog in Canada, where Shubenacadie Sam also saw no shadow. Shubenacadie Sam lives in Nova Scotia at the Shubenacadie Provincial Wildlife Park, where he tweets about what he does the other 364 days a year. He didn’t see his shadow this year! More

spring! There’s a dissenter in the bunch, and it’s the very special Wiarton Willie of Ottawa. He’s special because he’s an albino! Willie also tweeted out his result the morning of Feb. 2, and he said it’s six more weeks of winter for us. An untimely death has cast a shadow over this year’s Groundhog Day festivities in Winnipeg. Winnipeg Willow, the Prairie Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre’s resident prognosticator, died on Friday just preceding Groundhog Day on Tuesday. As a result, Groundhog Day events have been cancelled. Willow was dearly loved. Willow, who was five when she died, came to the centre in 2010 after her mother was killed by a dog. The centre intended to release her back into the wild, but she broke her leg and after healing, had become too attached to the staff to survive on her own. Staff said in a Facebook

posting that they had “tears coming down our face” and were in “complete shock and sadness.” There are other groundhogs that assist us with this long-standing tradition called Groundhog Day. A midwinter celebration involving an animal with predictive powers was an element of Celtic culture. The link between weather prediction and the day is said to have been inspired by an old Scottish couplet: “If Candlemas Day is bright and clear/ There’ll be two winters in the year.” I don’t know if winter will be over in Eastern Canada, but it certainly seems like it is here in the Boundary. Hopefully we’ll have snow in the hills for a while yet—a good snowpack is critical for spring and summer (and skiers, boarders and snowmobilers aren’t ready to quit yet!). We’ll also get days of snow and/or rain; winter doesn’t transition to spring in a single day. But

animals are shedding, birds are more plentiful, and bright daylight shining through my windows tells me I should start my “spring cleaning” now. It was bright and clear for Family Day, the whole weekend in fact. Whether winter is on the downside or not, February is a great time to have a celebration. Festivities included skating, swimming, skiing and bowling; events held downtown featured rides on a fire truck, a movie at the GEM, a fun mudder, ATV rides, street hockey, Nathan the Magician, hot dogs, cotton candy, hot chocolate… I’m sorry I’m likely forgetting something, there was so much happening. The weekend also featured the Wilgress Lake Ice Fishing Derby, which is well known as a family event. Not an angler? Snowcarving, snowshoe races, beverages and snacks—it’s not just about fishing about Wilgress Lake.

to the editor

GF Fall Fair ready for return Editor, The Gazette: How does one describe “Life in the Boundary, Then and Now?” Our history has amazing stories to tell. In 2015 when the Grand Forks Fall Fair Society began this intriguing theme for the 105th year of the fair, it was realized then just what Grand Forks had and has to offer. It was unfortunate that due to our wildﬁres and the amount of smoke our region retained, we were forced to cancel our

event. Well……. we have decided to do the theme again! Please mark August 26 – 28th, 2016 on your calendars for the 106th year of the Fair, and as in past years, it will be held at Dick Bartlett Park and the Grand Forks Curling Rink. Our theme will remain the same and our entertainment fulﬁlling. To make our year a successful one, the Board has made the decision to waive charges to

our Vendors for the weekend of events. Watch on Facebook for updates on the additional new performances we have coming this year and please email at grandforksfallfair@gmail.com for further information! It’s going to be a great year, see you at the fair! Kelly McIver Fall Fair secretary

Tax distribution unfair Editor, The Gazette:

Sixty-two people in the world own half of the world’s assets. Why aren’t they paying half the world’s taxes?

If they don’t want to pay their fair share of taxes, they can leave. Just don’t’ take our assets, including our water, minerals or oil, with them. Gladys Brown Midway

Millions in change

We left you saying that we would explain other ways besides commu+ Change nity grants that Phoenix Foundation “spends” money earned by investments each year. There are six addiPHOENIX tional ways. Today we cover two of FOUNDATION OF them. THE BOUNDARY COMMUNITIES Scholarships Nine scholarship funds have been (or are in the process of being) established: Boundary Area Retired Teachers’ Association; Gordon Keir; Grand Forks and District Business Community; Grand Forks District Savings Credit Union; Hall-Treptow; J.J. McDonnell; John Nilsen Memorial; Rotary Club of Grand Forks; and Terry Fitzgerald Memorial. There is one family fund (Dick and Irene Bartlett Family Fund), the revenues of which go to the Grand Forks Rotary Club Scholarship Fund. In total, the value of these 10 funds is (approximately) $267,988.15. (“Approximately” because figures are from our last audited statements, and changes have certainly occurred since.) Most of these funds direct available money to the School District 51 Scholarship Committee. This committee reviews student applications and makes decisions based on criteria established by each fund. Some scholarship funds are managed (that is the revenues each year, are managed) by the donors. They make the decisions about who will receive the scholarships. Last year the amount available for scholarships was $7,475. It is comforting to know similar amounts will be generated for future students continuing their education. An additional comment at this moment. A point was raised at our January board meeting: not all of our children are strong academically. Some of our students earn solid “Cs”. We want EVERY child in the Boundary to experience support to be the best person they can be in the world. Is there a way to establish some “scholarship” funds that recognize and reward those students who are NOT going on to post-secondary education, but who are terrific young people in many ways—just not scholastically? If you have thoughts about how the Phoenix Foundation could accomplish this, we welcome your input. Write us at Box 1021 Grand Forks, V0H 1H0 or by email to: phoenixfoundationbdry@gmail.com . Agency Funds Agency funds have been established by non-corporate groups: Boundary District Arts Council Society, Boundary Family and Individual Services Society, Boundary Women’s Coalition, Christina Lake Stewardship Society, Grand Forks Art Gallery, Grand Forks Gyro Club (no longer operating), Rock Creek Medical Society, Grand Forks Rotary Club, USCC, and West Boundary Elementary School. These total $153,049.85. Last year, Phoenix Foundation disbursed $4,961.27 to these groups. Most groups receive revenues from their funds yearly, and use them to help fund their operations/programs. Some groups actively grow their endowments so that their funds can provide better future income for them. For example, the Boundary Women’s Coalition, which operates the Boundary Women’s Transition House and the Boundary Women’s Resource Centre, has a fund with a current approximate value of $19,000. The coalition’s collective board recently decided to undertake doubling the value of their fund within the next five years. Hopefully other agencies will take on similar challenges. Next time: the last four ways we “spend” revenues! More information is available online at www.phoenix-foundation.net.

Orphaned magazines need you

TOWN HALL MEETING ELECTORAL AREA ‘C’/ CHRISTINA LAKE

Still lots of orphaned magazines Two weeks ago, my column was about our Adopt-a-Magazine campaign. I wrote that our library subscribes to dozens of magazines – these are read widely and voraciously by many of you. This year, we are re-launching our Adopt-a-Magazine program, in which you can donate the cost of the annual subscription of your favourite magazine. Your generosity will be recognized with a label on each issue (unless you’d like to remain anonymous) – it’s an effective way to advertise your business, honour a friend or family member, or just support your local library. There are still plenty of orphaned magazines up for adoption, and we have some really cool new ones worth a mention. There’s This magazine, which is a “Fiercely independent and proudly subversive” Canadian publication. There’s also Monitor, published by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, which covers “issues of social, climate and economic justice.” Or what about Watershed Sentinel, an independent environmental journal? Chances are we

Thank you to the City of Grand Forks; to businesses and groups such as the GEM Theatre, Sunshine Lanes, GFREC, Border Bruins, Phoenix Ski Hill and ATV Club; to Wilgress Lake derby organizers for adding greatly to the weekend; and to everyone who took part in what’s fast becoming a fun winter break. Even if there’s not a lot of winter left, a relaxing day in February is most welcome. And turning it into a whole weekend? Even better! We don’t have Groundhog Day festivities, but I reckon our own special Family Day events the weekend right afterward are something to be proud of, and to look forward to each year. Winter’s over only when Mother Nature says it’s over—we’ll celebrate family instead.

CREDIT UNION GIVES NOTICE OF ELECTION OF DIRECTORS We will be the first choice for financial services for residents of the Boundary region.

The Member & Community Relations Committee of the Grand Forks District Savings Credit Union, is accepting nominations for positions on the Credit Union’s Board of Directors. Nominations will close at 5:00 pm on Friday, February 12, 2016. No further nominations will be accepted after that date.

Looking for a new place to put your passion? Consider getting involved

Grand Forks Credit Union (GFCU) has been serving our members – who live near and far – since 1949. We are a member-owned financial cooperative. Each and every one of our members makes a difference to our well-being – both as a locally owned and operated company and as citizens living and contributing together within our communities. Imagine, if you will, the 19 original founders of our credit union meeting at the Grower’s Exchange one August evening in 1949 and contributing $30 each. Granted its charter on August 22, 1949, the Credit Union started attracting attention. Within a year, 50 members had joined and assets were over $400. Today, we are almost 9,000 members strong with more than $220 million dollars in assets providing a full range of competitive financial products and services and continually re-investing into our communities. What would the Boundary be like if the credit union had never been born – or suddenly disappeared today? From the beginning, our job has been to make a way for regular people to access financing to help them live their dreams… originally for farmers and small business. We’ve stayed true to our purpose, continuing in the tradition of the cooperative movement.

Grand Forks Credit Union Tues to Fri 9:30 am - 5 pm and Sat 9:30 am - 1 pm 250-442-5511 • www.gfdscu.com

How do I express my interest to run in the election? If you are interested in becoming a candidate in the 2016 Board of Directors’ Election, please download the Candidates’ Intro Kit which outlines what is required of a Director in terms of time and qualifications. And please email us at info@gfdscu.com to express your interest in having a member of our Member & Community Relations Committee contact you. What is GFCU looking for in its prospective candidates? GFCU needs leaders who bring with them a broad range of skills and attributes that strongly align with our values and that support and strengthen the current Board’s ongoing commitment to implementing our strategic vision. Did you know…? Credit unions, called by various names around the world, are member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperatives that provide savings, credit and other financial services

to their members. Credit union membership is based on a common bond, a linkage shared by savers and borrowers who belong to a specific community, organization, religion or place of employment. Credit unions pool their members’ savings deposits and shares to finance their own loan portfolios rather than rely on outside capital. Members benefit from higher returns on savings, lower rates on loans and fewer fees on average. Credit unions worldwide offer members from all walks of life much more than financial services. They provide members the chance to own their own financial institution and help them create opportunities such as starting small businesses, growing farms, building family homes and educating their children. Regardless of account size in the credit union, each member may run for the volunteer board of directors and cast a vote in elections. In some countries, members encounter their first taste of democratic decision making through their credit unions.* *WOCCU.org website excerpt

Let’s talk about housing

SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Small housing, downsizing, cluster housing and eco-zoning—let’s have a conversation, says Peter Matheson, who will facilitate a housing segment of the Grand Forks and District Public Library’s “Let’s Talk About…” series. “The City of Grand Forks has invited input on a proposed ‘eco-zone’ that would provide a great hosuing diversity for our community. I would like to contribute to that input,” Matheson said. “The regional district is also receptive to creative housing solutions.” Matheson, a designer/builder, has built a 125-square-foot “tiny house” and is passionate about the issue of housing. He’s posed a few questions to get the conversation going: Do we own our houses, or do

SENIORS

our houses own us? Have we ever considered that our houses, like our brains, are wildly out of proportion to the volume we actually use? What might we gain by reducing our housing footprint? Is sharing a micro-solar utility a viable alternative in the Boundary? “Seniors, students young couples and emptynesters might be more attracted to living here if we offered affordable, lower-impact higherdensity development options and ‘laneway’ housing,” he said. “What about tiny houses? We can put the Boundary on the map with innovative, grassroots, sustainable, alternative development.” The “Let’s Talk About…Small Housing” conversation will be held at the Grand Forks library on Thursday, Feb. 18 from 6:30 (sharp) - 7:45 p.m. There is no charge; everyone’s welcome.

up, get out and get right on the trail. It’s super easy access. Seniors use it to walk their pets all the time.” Werner said the majority of the people at the meeting were opposed to the development and were there to voice their concerns. She is also concerned that the development will be quite pricey and be not affordable for most seniors. “This is not assisted living,” she said. “This is not subsidized. This is people who can afford water front.” Donna Dean, manager of planning and development for the RDKB, said that they have looked into many of the questions brought forward at the hearing and will bring those forward at a planned hearing on Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Christina Lake Community Hall. There will be an

FIRE REPORT

open house before the hearing from 6 until 7 p.m. “A number of questions were raised,” she said. “Staff have taken a look at those and will come up with some firm answers. One of the concerns was what happens if the senior’s housing development didn’t go forward.” Dean said that they have the authority to enact a bylaw to allow the land to only be used for seniors. “There are a few different things we can do through that bylaw, through the local government act, such as determine the form of tenure. So is it rental? Are they for sale? Do you purchase or rent the units? You can also make the units available only to a certain type of people. As well as prices and how you would apply for a unit. So we hope that will alleviate some of the concerns raised at the hearing.”

fire and emergency services to Christina Lake and Area “C”. Fire chief Ken Gresley-Jones said the department has a maximum ceiling membership of 26 and are currently operating at full capacity. The staff at the Lake consist of the fire chief and the local assistant fire commissioner, deputy fire chief and training officer, three fire captains, a safety officer, 20 firefighters (two of which are lieutenants as they are first responder instructors in that capacity) and a retired member acting as public relations and photographer. “At this time not all members are ‘first responders’ however, we have first responder training scheduled for the beginning of 2016 and recertification training also for early 2016,” said Gresley-Jones. “We also have a team certified in spinal management, pediatric airway management, automatic electric defibrillator, swift water rescue and emergency child birth.”

Gresley Jones added the fire training is ongoing. CLFR also continues to operate the “jaws of life” out of their new rescue unit and maintain a critical incident stress team on call for member on an ongoing basis. CLFR responded to 131 emergency calls in 2015 (up until Dec. 14). “There were four fire investiagtion reports submitted to the office of the fire commissioner,” said Gresley-Jones. “The remaining calls related to motor vehicle accidents, medical emergencies and rescue operations.” Complaints to the fire commissioner (GresleyJones) were up for 11 to 79, all of which were resolved locally and without any enforcement action taking place. “We continue to have mutual aid agreements with Grand Forks and the Orient Washington Fire Service,” said Gresley-Jones. “We also work with provincial agreements with the provincial ambulance and forest service.”

Life in a Love Escape me? Never— Beloved! While I am I, and you are you, So long as the world contains us both, Me the loving and you the loth, While the one eludes, must the other pursue. My life is a fault at last, I fear: It seems too much like a fate, indeed! Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed. But what if I fail of my purpose here? It is but to keep the nerves at strain, To dry one’s eyes and laugh at a fall, And baffled, get up to begin again,— So the chase takes up one’s life, that’s all. While, look but once from your farthest bound, At me so deep in the dust and dark, No sooner the old hope drops to ground Than a new one, straight to the selfsame mark, I shape me— Ever Removed! – Robert Browning

The Fun Spot Bruins ready for big home stand in Castlegar 4-3 in double overtime with Haney scoring the game winner assisted by Grambo and Connor Manegre. Also scoring for GF were Austin Dean in the first period, Garret Brisebois, who had a power play marker in the second, and Logan Casavant, also scoring in the second. The Bruins are busy this coming week with four games in five days all at home. In fact, for the rest of the regular season the team plays all their games at home in the friendly confines of Jack Goddard Memorial Arena. First up is Spokane on Thursday followed by Creston Valley Saturday, Osoyoos Sunday and Castlegar next Tuesday (Feb. 16).

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Bruins went one and one this past week as they continue to prepare for the upcoming playoffs. On Saturday the Bruins hosted the Columbia Valley Rockies losing 5-2 after beating Castlegar earlier in the week. Against the Rockies the Bruins got down early, giving up a first period goal to Michael Cardinal and a second period power goal to Ryan St. Jean to go down 2-0. Dylan Haney got the Bears on the board with a goal at 6:59 of the second assisted by Chad Grambo and Nico Sidoni. St. Jean scored his second for the squad from Invermere at 10:36 of the third to put the Rockies up 3-1. Grambo scored for GF a couple of minutes later to pull the Bruins to within one assisetd by Haney and Logan Hascarl. The Bruins battled hard looking for the equalizer but fell short giving up two empty netters to the Rockies for the 5-2 loss. On Feb. 2 the Bruins knocked off the Rebels

Bear bites Grand Forks is six points ahead of Nelson in the battle for third place in the Neil Murdoch Division. In all likelihood the Bruins will face Castlegar in the first round of the play-offs. The other match-up will likely see division leading Beaver Valley face Nelson.

Intensity key for Wolves SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks junior boys basketball team are back in tournament action this week after placing second last week in Trail. Grand Forks travelled with a roster of only seven players due to injuries and schedule conflicts. Despite the depleted bench, all Wolves saw ample game time and contributed in different fashions. GF’s first game was on Jan. 22 where the Wolves beat L.V Rogers (Nelson) for the third time this season 72-32. The boys played high intensity defense, winning the first quarter 29-4. Coach O’Brien deemed the performance “a great bounce back win” after losing their first game of the year to J.L Crowe (Trail) on Wednesday. Saturday morning, the Wolves were able to avenge that three-point home loss, winning in decisive fashion, 67-24 in the semifinal matchup against J.L Crowe. Noor Sibat was the standout of the game, hitting two three pointers and controlling the offensive tempo from the high post. “In our loss to Crowe, we were rushing our offense, trying to do too much in tight spaces,” O’Brien commented. “This time around, we played with poise, patience and an unselfishness, which is a recipe for success at any level.” The tournament championship game was set between Grand Forks and Prince Charles Secondary from Creston. GF opened the aggressor, running out to a 14-0 lead to start the

game. However, the poise and patience that led the Wolves in their second game was the deciding factor in Creston’s comeback. “Creston played an admirable game. To go down like that to start, not to lose composure, and to fight back point by point is a lesson I hope these boys don’t soon forget. We learned a lot tonight about what type of team we want to be,” O’Brien commented after the 43-50 loss. The Wolves’ small bench was an eventual factor in the second half the game, as the boys showed fatigue, shying away from their fast break style, and losing the battle on the glass. The Wolves fought valiantly in the final two minutes as Liam McKinlay hit two threepointers and Noor Sibat added one more, cutting the lead to four before giving up some late free throws. Despite no longer being undefeated, Grand Forks is staying focused and looking forward to a hopeful rematch. “We are going to have some tough practices this weekend, and prepare for the opportunity to meet Creston in another championship matchup this weekend. We are excited by the challenge,” O’Brien said. The next home game for the GFSS junior boys is against Mt. Sentinel from South Slocan (Tuesday, Feb. 9 at 5:30 p.m.) After press time. Grade 8 girls The GFSS grade 8 girls team won their tournament on the weekend beating Prince Charles of Creston 32-20 in the final after losing to them 33-22 the day before. GFSS also beat trail 50-11 on Friday and 28-12 Saturday.

Phoenix Mountain joins Intl Ski Area Consortium SUBMITTED

Phoenix Mountain has joined an international consortium of community and independent ski areas, known as the Mountain Playground Group. Facilitated by the Mountain Rider’s Alliance (MRA), participating ski areas will band together to increase skier visits and share best practice and marketing strategies. “Mountain Riders Alliance has been studying the challenges facing smaller ski areas since 2010,” said Jamie Schectman, MRA CEO and co-founder. “The Mountain Playground Group is a solutions-based approach for stand-alone ski areas to work together and ensure a better chance of survival, as well as provide a layer of sophistication not commonly found at the smaller ski area level.” “Phoenix Mountain’s participation in the Mountain Playground Group

NOTICE OF PRUNING

FortisBC Inc. has contracted Asplundh Canada ULC to manage vegetation near power lines within its service area. This work is necessary to reduce safety hazards near electrical wires and to prevent power outages caused by trees or tree limbs making contact with the lines. Clearing around the low voltage lines that deliver power to individual residences remains the responsibility of the property owner. For safety reasons, FortisBC encourages homeowners to enlist the help of a qualified professional when pruning near low voltage lines.

The photos do not have to be great photography - they just have to show a bobcat or a lynx, or even just a part of one. Photos can be blurry or dark and don't even have to clearly show which cat species is present. When sending photos, please include both the date and location of each photo. Location should be as specific as possible: most preferred is UTM or LAT/LONG coordinates. If that information is not available, then please provide the name of the nearest road or landmark (including distance and direction from road or landmark), or nearest town (including distance and direction from town), or watershed or Management Unit. Photos will be used for data only (which species was where when) and will not influence management decisions regarding hunting/trapping bag limits or season dates. Photos will not be published or shared with anyone without permission, and photographers will retain ownership of their photos. The results of this study will be gladly shared with all those who are interested.

Please email photos to TJ Gooliaff at tj.gooliaff@ubc.ca Feel free to email any questions or comments that you may have about this project to either TJ Gooliaff or Dr. Karen Hodges at Karen.Hodges@ubc.ca

Eating to prevent colds and flus z Simply Nourished NATASHA KURALESOVA Registered Holistic Nutritionist

Though this winter is mild, it still often brings on cold and flu. Food alone can’t protect us against the common flu or cold, however you can bolster your immunity with proper nutrition to reduce the risk of getting sick. Many experts agree that a whole foods diet along with adequate sleep, moderate exercise and minimal stress contributes to a stronger immune system and a faster recovery if you do get sick. The main goal of eating for colds and flu prevention is to boost the activity of your immune system. Here are some easy tips: Stay hydrated. Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily. You need to drink plenty of clean filtered water to help your body flush out toxins. Toxins contribute to inflammation in the body and weakening of the immune system. Also, staying hydrated will help to lubricate mucous membranes in your throat and nasal passages thus aiding in trapping the viruses. Avoid sugar and processed foods, which have little or no nutritional value and can suppress your immune system due to their content of anti-

nutrients: high fructose corn syrup, various additives, artificial colours and flavors. The immune-suppressing effect of sugar and sugary foods can start 30 minutes after ingestion and may last for up to 5 hours! In fact, eating any kind of sugar can potentially reduce your body’s defense mechanisms by 75% or more! In place of sugar try to use small amounts of natural sweeteners, such as: coconut syrup, stevia, honey and maple syrup. Eat a variety of whole, fresh foods rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants: Rich in vitamin C organic leafy greens (lettuce, spinach, kale), broccoli, cranberries and lemons. Garlic has antiviral and antimicrobial properties due to its compound allicin. Chop it up and let it sit for 10 minutes before adding it to your favourite dishes for the beneficial compounds to form. Squashes, carrots, sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene, which in the body gets converted to vitamin A. Oysters, pumpkin seeds, cashews, almonds contain zinc, the essential mineral. Blueberries – antioxidant powerhouses, contain high levels of a very potent antioxidant anthocyanin. Rich in probiotics fermented foods (kefir, plain organic yogurt, homemade sauerkraut) can help restore your gut flora. Since 80% of our immune system cells are in the gut, it’s crucial to keep it healthy.

Organic green or white tea rich in catechins, antioxidants with immuneboosting and flu-fighting properties. Cacao in organic dark chocolate is a source of antioxidant polyphenol compounds and zinc. Opt for 70% -88% cacao content and stick with bite-sized portions. Organic anti-inflammatory spices, such as: cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, oregano, coriander, cumin and cayenne have a warming effect, will improve circulation and make you feel more alive and energized. If you do get sick, please avoid all dairy products, oranges and bananas as those can promote excessive mucus production, thus slowing down the recovery. I hope these suggestions will help you to stay healthy during the cold and flu season!!

Dancing for health, fitness and fun Dancing can be a way to stay fit for people of all ages, shapes and sizes. It has a wide range of physical and mental benefits including: improved condition of your heart and lungs, increased muscular strength, endurance and motor fitness, increased aerobic fitness, improved muscle tone and strength, weight management, stronger bones and reduced risk of osteoporosis, better coordination, agility and flexibility, improved balance and spatial awareness, increased physical confidence, improved mental functioning, improved general and psychological well being, greater self-confidence and self-esteem, and better social skills. Most forms of dance may be considered an aerobic exercise and as such reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, help weight control, stress reduction, and bring about other benefits commonly associated with physical fitness. In addition, studies have demonstrated a considerable correlation between dancing and psychological well-being. A large amount of governmental, health, and educational information is available extolling the benefits of dance for health. Dance instructor May Merge teaches Tango, Jive and Country 2 Step on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7 to 9pm at the Hutton School gym. A drop in fee of just $2 applies. No partner is required. Heart Month is a national campaign that mobilizes Canadians to rally together Through the generosity and compassion of volunteers, the Heart and Stroke Foundation is able to help Canadians prevent heart disease and stroke, save lives by enabling faster and better emergency medical response and treatment,

Junior girls finish 2 and 2 in Midway Gazette Staff

The Grand Forks Secondary junior girls basketball team played in a five-team tournament in Midway this weekend, winning two of four games. On Friday, the Wolves lost 36-30 to Charles Bloom from Lumby despite a strong outing from Victoria Henne,

who scored 10 points. Tara Makortoff, Portia Dagg and Sarah Malkinson added six each. Victoria was named player of the game. In their second game Friday, GFSS had several free throws down the stretch against South Okanagan (Oliver) but were unable to convert, falling 21-20. Elizabeth Henne and Victo-

ria Henne each scored six points and grabbed double digit rebounds. Victoria was named player of the game again. “It was a couple of tough losses,” said coach Craig Lindsay. “The teams were pretty equal to us. Our defence and press were solid, but we struggled to execute on offence.” Caitlyn Black of GFSS goes for the block against Midway on Saturday. GFSS won the game 35-22.

On Saturday the Wolves played Nakusp first and won easily 61-5. Leading the way for the Wolves was Makortoff with 12 points, while Dylann Asling and Elizabeth Henne added eight. Player of the game for Grand Forks was Caitlin Black, who scored four points and added several blocks in a strong defensive game. The final game for GFSS saw a rematch with spunky BCSS. The Wolves easily handled the Roadrunners a month ago but this time the Midway team rose to the task. The first quarter saw the Wolves hold a 7-6 lead as BCSS battled hard. “We struggled to score once again,” said Lindsay. “BCSS played strong defence and kept us from running our plays and getting easy baskets. Once we settled down in the second quarter we were fine. Our pressure defence helped set the pace.” A strong second quarter effort saw GFSS pull out to a 21-9 lead at half-time. The Wolves then held on for the 35-22 win. Top scorer for the Wolves were Elizabeth Henne, Victoria Henne, Tara Makortoff and Portia Dagg with six points each. Makortoff was named player of the game. “It was good to finish on a strong note,” said Lindsay. “Everyone contributed in the last game particularly. We had 13 players that stepped it up on defence. Oksana Stoochnoff, in particular, played really strong defence and helped us keep the lead and keep the pressure on Midway.” The Wolves head to Trail this coming weekend for a fourteam tournament at J.L. Crowe.
