Perley Elementary School students got the chance to see aquatic life up close on Earth Day Wednesday (April 22). The Van-couver Aquarium’s mobile classroom, Aquavan, was at the school all day and stu-dents got to hear presentations and get a close look at many sea creatures.

The program featured four educators presenting to all the students about aquat-ics featuring live animals, artifacts and ac-tivities. The intention of the program is to inspire young Canadians to build connec-tions with aquatic life so they can become stewards of their environment.

Among the live invertebrates the stu-dents got to see and, in some cases touch, were: heart crab, green sea urchin, painted sea anemone, leather sea star, Bering hermit crab, leafy hornmouth snail and wrinkled dogwinkle snail. The kids also got to see whale bones and baleen.

The Perley PAC sponsored the event.Tobi Reid, Aquavan coordinator, said the

students from Perley were very engaged and asked lots of great questions.

“It’s been a great reception. It’s really great and rewarding for us to bring the ocean to landlocked communities and make connections between these communities and the ocean. What better way to celebrate Earth Day than to bring some live animals

from the coast.”Reid said it was very promising that the

students asked about how they could best protect the sea creatures.

Perley was the only stop for the Aquavan in the Kootenay Boundary. Since 1994, over 400,000 students and community members have shared up close and personal experi-ences with live aquatic animals using the Aquavan.

Grade 7 students Lucas Wodyga and Ethan Lovegrove enjoyed the experience of seeing and learning about the various sea creatures.

“I thought the display was quite nice, especially on Earth Day,” said Wodyga. “It was quite an awesome display seeing the sea urchins and other sea creatures.”

Wodyga said he is disappointed that hu-mans have made such a mess of the oceans such that much sea life is threatened.

Lovegrove said he liked hearing the pre-sentations and learning about the sea. “I think they did a very good job at the display and the descriptions,” he said.

Wodyga’s favourite part was seeing the whale teeth and bones. “I didn’t know they had just bristles and not teeth,” he said. “It was pretty cool.”

He also enjoyed seeing and touching the sea creatures, which he felt were “slimy and hard, which was really cool.”

“It was weird too because I hadn’t seen those creatures before,” he added.

Artists faceoff at battle

Top artists from around the Boundary are expected to battle it out at gallery 2 to fi nd out who is the best. The competition is called Art Battle and it goes down May 9 at the gallery.

In the competition, 12 local artists will do the best work they can do in 20 minutes and the audience votes for their favourite.

“We are a nation-wide live arts event,” said orga-nizer Shannon Frederick. “There are local organizers all across the country. We all link up for our national championship at the end of the art battle season.

Frederick says there are art battles going on across Canada going on from September to June. In June, the art battle winners will be brought together for a pro-vincial competition in Vancouver. The winners there will compete at the national competition.

Frederick said the event has become popular on the Lower Mainland with several events in Vancouver and in Victoria. She said there have also been events in Chilliwack, Kelowna and Penticton.

“There are three rounds and each round is 20 min-utes long,” said Frederick. “Events have 10 or 12 local artists broken up into two different groups. The fi rst group features the fi rst six artists. The artists paint in front of the audience who vote for their favourite painting. We then have the second round of painters. They paint and the audience votes.”

The third round is the fi nal featuring the winners of the fi rst two rounds facing up. “Again, they have 20 minutes to paint and the audience votes and deter-mines the winner of the night.”

Frederick said the competition is free for the artists, although they do have to apply online with a sample image of their work. “We supply the canvas and the paint for our competitors,” she said. “It’s up to the painters to provide their own brushes, tools, imple-ments to paint with. The only rule is nothing mechani-cal. So no spray bottles, no airbrushes, no fans. That kind of thing.”

Frederick said the time limit adds a different ele-ment to the painting. “Paintings usually take hours and hours,” she said. “Also, artists don’t paint in front of people. So this really takes the painters out of their comfort zone but it’s a real adrenal rush.”

All the works that have been created will be avail-able at the end of the night through a silent auction.

“Most often all the works sell and Art Battle splits the money 50/50 with the artist,” said Frederick.

Tickets for the event are available on their website at www.artbattle.ca/276-grandforks/ Frederick said there are only a limited amount of tickets and she urges people to get their tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.

There are a few painters already signed up but any-one wishing to enter can still do so at the same website.

When the weather starts getting warm-er, I go to the grooming salon and get a new lion-coat. I like it because it feels so cool and grand. My roommate says I’m easier to keep clean and easier to inspect for ticks, because I really love my walks through the tall grass!

In the How They Voted in the April 22 Gazette, it should have read: Councillor Julia Butler voted NO for the motion to give the first three readings to the 2015 tax rate bylaw.

The Gazette apologizes for the error.

Questions must be on pointCitizens who wish to ask questions at the

conclusion of regular council meetings will have to keep queries on point.

A motion, brought forward at the regular council meeting April 20 by Councillor Mi-chael Wirischagin, stated that: Be it resolved that council reaffirms its current position that all questions asked during the ques-tion period of the public be directed on the mayor, and the questions be on point and only in reference to an item on the agenda discussed during the meeting. The motion passed unanimously.Motion to remove question period from COTW defeated

Residents will still be allowed to ask questions at the end of the Committee of the Whole meetings during question pe-riod after a motion from Wirischagin was defeated.

The motion read: Be it resolved that be-cause the public is offered the opportunity to participate throughout the meeting ses-sion, that council directs staff to remove the “questions from the public”, at the conclu-sion of the COTW meeting, as it is a redun-dancy.

Wirischagin was the only member of council to vote for the motion.Councillors will no longer present verbal reports

In a narrow 4-3 vote, councillors will no long present verbal reports during meet-ings.

The motion, brought forward by Wiris-chagin, stated: Be it resolved that all council reports, other than motions, be no longer in a verbal presentation, but only as a written format; and further that if a council member chooses to have council report presented then it should be written and submitted to staff no later than Wednesday at 10 a.m. be-fore a council meeting to be attached to the agenda package for those interested to read at their leisure.

Voting for the motion were councillors Wirischagin, Chris Hammett, Chris Thomp-son and Neil Krog. Voting against were councillors Julia Butler, Colleen Ross and Mayor Frank Konrad.CARIP

Grand Forks continues to be proactive towards reducing their carbon footprint.

Council received a survey from the Cli-mate Action Revenue Incentive Program (CARIP) at the regular council meeting on April 20.

The online survey must be completed and submitted to the province. The two survey includes two parts: Climate Actions Survey and the Carbon Neutral Progress Survey. The surveys provide the opportuni-ty for local governments to describe actions undertaken in 2014, and planned for 2015, to reduce green house gas emissions and create more complete, compact and energy efficient communities.

Some of the actions for 2014 included: assessments of the fire hall and public works lighting, although due to budget-ary constraints they were not implemented; City Hall lighting replaced with LED, new HVAC computer controlled heating and cooling system, new insulation on all lev-els; and implementation of an aeration and drought resistant seed in parks plan to re-duce water consumption.

First and second reading of bylaw amend-ment 1606-2

Council gave first and second reading to zoning bylaw amendment 1606-A3, 2015. The bylaw rezones property located at 832-64th Ave. from the current R-1 (single and two-family residential) to R-4 (rural resi-dential). The motion passed unanimously.Water rates

Council addressed a couple of amend-ments to the water regulation bylaw at the regular council meeting on April 20. In the meeting, council passed the first three readings to bylaw 2014 water regulation amendment, which amends the 2015 water rates.

Effective July 1, water rates will increase 2.4 per cent. For residential customers, this increase equates to $1.65 per billing or $9.90 per year. The increase in water rates will al-low the city to put $10,000 into the capital reserve in 2015 for infrastructure replace-ment.

There have been two changes to the by-law: section 10.1 on bylaw 1973 has been deleted and replaced with a similar section that clarifies that water meters will remain the property of the City of Grand Forks. Also, schedule A, section 1 d) iii) has been added to include a $150 flat fee for inspec-tions and/or pressure testing.

For the record


EditorialiNSIGHTyour news view

Grand Forks council meetings are about to become much shorter and quite likely less interesting. Several motions were introduced on April 20 by Council-lor Michael Wirischagin meant to curb “grandstanding” by councillors and streamline the meetings.

Among those which passed is a mo-tion stating that councillors will not pro-vide verbal reports and instead must prepare written reports.

Sure there is a propensity for coun-cillors to “grandstand” and talk about their favourite issue and promote their personal agenda. Reports can also take a long time as councillors over-report as they talk about every little meeting and get-together in the past couple of weeks.

However, the great thing about the reports was that they gave the audience a chance to hear from councillors in a less formal way. Councillors now have fewer chances to show their individual personalities and let people know what is happening around town. How many citizens will bother to pour through the council agenda to read the councillor re-ports? Not to mention that a report tends to not capture someone’s personality and quirks as well as a verbal, live report.

Another of Michael’s motions which passed was the motion to reaffirm that all questions from the audience during question period must be on topic. Ba-sically, this is already on the books but council feels it must stress that this time they will really, really mean it. Let’s face it, the chair of the meeting (the mayor) is the one who must put his foot down and keep residents on task during ques-tion period and any other time during a council meeting.

The motion to remove questions from the public at the end of the Committee of the Whole meetings was defeated. Wiris-chagin’s rationale was that citizens could speak at any time during COTW meet-ings so having them ask questions at the end was redundant. Clearly, the rest of council didn’t agree.

Whether the motions that passed will streamline council meetings and keep things moving and on task is still to be determined.

HOW TO REACH US

Thank you for the memories—happy trails, all

I am going to move back to the United States where I hailed from some 45 years ago. I spent 40 of those years here in the Boundary. Now family stuff calls me back; my mother and my sister need me down in Oregon.

But think I have stayed long enough in the Bound-ary to be a local. In fact it was a local family up Sidley way with the same last name as mine who helped land me a job with Pope & Talbot back in the ’70s. The foreman do-ing the hiring knew what hard workers the Kellys were—so he picked me. I told him, not right away though. Not until I was able to prove that I could be a good worker too.

I spent somewhere around 30 years working at the Mid-way sawmill. It was a tough job, and it took a long time but I was finally successful at driving that company out of business.

A year later, just about the same time that my unemploy-ment enjoyment ran out, it was a fortunate thing that a part-time reporter job came open at the Boundary Creek Times.

Even more fortunate was the fact that the morning the boss had scheduled an inter-view with me, the full-time reporter quit and left town. Needless to say the owners and now good friends, Chuck and Karen Bennett, found themselves desperate enough that they gave me the job. Full-time! Special K was pleased.

Seven years later it is time to move on. It was a really good job to have. I got to go to everybody’s party; even

better, I usually didn’t have to help decorate the hall or stay to clean up. Also—often food was involved.

Let me tell you, this is a dream job.

Better than all of that seven years of partying and such, were the great friendships I have made. And all I had to do was show up and be both nosey and friendly at the same time.

Once I got into covering the hopes, happenings and hap-penstance of the Boundary I came to appreciate what a tre-mendous blessing a sense of community can be.

I would hope that sense of community could be nurtured across the entire Boundary (both East and West) in the years ahead. There are some amazing people here—please continue to network, lever-age and find ways to help each other discover their own amazing.

The paper has hired a re-placement for me, a fellow named Andrew Tripp whose home is near Bridesville. I’ll let him fill you in on all that in the coming weeks. I’ve every confidence he is going to do a fantastic job for the paper and the Boundary.

One thing about doing seven years as a reporter for a community newspaper is that everybody has a good chance to get to know who you are. You could say that Mike Duffy and I have some similarities: we’re both media guys, both well-known, good-looking and such and, since I am about to pull stakes and head south, there seems to be some ques-tion in both our cases about residency. Let’s hope the simi-larity end there.

Happy trails, all. Thanks for letting me help share your stories with each other.

Another Perspective

Opinion

Letters to the editor Time to rethink Earth DayApril 22 was the 45th anniversary of Earth Day and it passed quietly in Bound-

ary Country. Why was that the case? Has our concern about Earth waned to the extent that talking about it in open forums is passe? Has it served its purpose?

Earth Day evolved over a period of seven years starting in 1962. Up until that time the environment had been a non-issue in the Unit-ed States and Senator Gaylord Nelson (United States Senate) made it his mission to change the situation. He argued that the environment should be given attention in the political arena and he persuaded President John F. Kennedy to give it visibility on a national scale. The president did include the environment in his speeches when he toured but it failed to get the expected at-tention.

Not to be dissuaded, Nelson announced in September 1969 that there would be a nationwide grassroots demonstration on behalf of the environment on April 22, 1970 and extended an invitation to everyone to celebrate “in any way they want.” At an address in Denver, Nelson stated, “Our goal is not just an environment of clean air and water and scenic beauty. The objective of decency, quality and mu-tual respect for all other human beings and all living creatures.”

According to online reports, the first Earth Day was the largest ever expression of public sentiment on a political issue in the history of the United States. It fo-cused attention on environmentalism and prepared the way for rather ambitious environmental laws that were unheard of up until that time.

In the years following 1970, polluted waterways were cleaned up, the pesticide DDT was banned, pollution in cities became a public concern and cleanup pro-grams were launched.

Nelson’s idea took off. Americans finally had an opportunity to talk about what was happening to the land, rivers, lakes and air. The idea spread around the world.

Since the 1970s and 1980s, Earth Day has ceased to be a day of protest against corporate exploitation yet conditions on Earth have continued to deteriorate. James Hansen, a renowned climatologist, calls what we face today, “the predomi-nant moral issue of the century”.

Naomi Klein, author and activist who has achieved prominence with the pub-lication of her recent book This Changes Everything, and Johann Hari, a British journalist, argue that the environmental movement was hijacked by corporate styled environmental groups when they formed an alliance known as the U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP) in 2007 with Duke Energy, DuPont, General Electric (GE), and General Motors (GM). The alliance took the lead in the develop-ment of a market-based approach to climate legislation. Cap-and-trade was one of the products of the legislation and it eventually faltered in 2010 under pressure from environmental groups.

The USCAP website provides a list of 26 members that includes some familiar corporations with questionable track records when their histories are known: The Dow Chemical Company, DuPont, National Resource Defense Council, Shell, The Nature Conservancy, Rio Tinto, Pepsico, and Johnson & Johnson.

Earth Day in 2015 had a completely different meaning from the first Earth Day and perhaps that is why it didn’t get much attention.

People adopted a “what’s the use” attitude. In her acceptance speech at a ceremony where she was awarded an Izzy,

(named after journalist I.F. Stone) Naomi Klein stated, “What’s the use of talking about the pollution of air and water when we live under a precarious balance of terror which can, in an hour’s time, make the entire Northern Hemisphere of our planet unlivable. There’s no use talking about Earth Day until we begin to think like Earthmen. Not as Americans and Russians, not as blacks and whites, not as Jews and Arabs, but as fellow travelers on a tiny planet in an infinite universe.”

Now that is a challenge worth taking on! Are there Earthwomen or Earthmen willing to do so?

Cows help spread weeds

Stop ‘poisoning’ programs

Editor, The Gazette:The recent article in the Grand Forks

Gazette celebrating the public funding of the invasive weed program is one of many examples of pathetic behaviour by our politicians that showcase why it is virtually impossible to have an honest intelligent discussion of the management of our prov-ince’s natural resources.

Cows traversing moderate steep grass-land slopes create a major erosion problem which facilitates the spread of invasive weeds and yet this obvious problem is never brought forward in the never ending request for public money to address the problem.

The problem is in your face if you drive up the Gilpin logging road in October or

better yet, park your vehicle at the Booth-man Ranch home site and walk the gas line to the eastern boundary of the Gilpin Grassland Park in November.

Politics is described as the art of com-promise so would it not be smart for the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary leaders responsible for the Kettle River Management Plan which has cost the taxpayer $250,000 to invite ranchers to a public meeting and make the case that future public funding of the Invasive Weed Program will only be supported if ranch-ers start a dialogue to remove domestic animals from the major tributaries of the Kettle River?

Editor, The Gazette:I have lived in the Boundary for a good

20 years. Weed spray programs date back at least that long. Memories of the Vietnam War even longer.

There, to this day, there are special hos-pitals for children born with life-incapaci-tating diseases and defects due to Agent Orange of which 2,4-D (previously applied in the Boundary) is an active ingredient.

To this day we proudly announce mas-sive grants for weed spray programs that are repeated every year. Is there something someone just does not get? The programs are not effective.

If you repeat something for that long and it does not work, is there a learning deficit?

Why can all those dollars gifted to the likes of Monsanto, Dow, and Bayer not be invest-ed in sustainable projects?

There is no away on this planet. These poisons do not just evaporate. They are ab-sorbed by every life form, from the fragile tree frog to the cattle and deer on the range. Do we have to be like the Great Poisoners of Florence?

These are erroneously called spray programs. Please in the future call them by their real name: poisoning programs. Shame, blasted shame for such inconsider-ate treatment of the earth. Only one planet to muck. What will we do to make a buck?

Creative ways to help your children enjoy vegetables:• Plant a garden with your child. Let them help care for the

plants, harvest the ripe vegetables, and wash and prepare them. They will probably be much more interested in eating what they helped to grow.

• Slip grated or diced vegetables into favorite foods. Try adding them to rice, cottage cheese, cream cheese, guacamole, or even macaroni and cheese. Zucchini pancakes are a big hit at our house, as are carrot muffi ns.

• Camoufl age vegetables with a favorite sauce.• Use vegetables as fi nger foods and dip them in a favorite sauce or dip.• Using a small cookie cutter, cut the vegetables into interesting shapes.• Steam your greens. They are much more fl avorful and usually sweeter than when raw.• Make veggie art. Create colorful faces with olive- slice eyes, tomato ears, mushroom

noses, bell-pepper mustaches, and any other playful features you can think of. Our eighth child, Lauren, loved to put olives on the tip of each fi nger. “Olive fi ngers” would then nibble this nutritious and nutrient-dense food off her fi ngertips. Zucchini pancakes make a terrifi c face to which you can add pea eyes, a carrot nose, and cheese hair.

• Concoct creative camoufl ages. There are all kinds of possible variations on the old stand-by “cheese in the trees” (cheese melted on steamed broccoli fl orets). Or, you can all enjoy the pleasure of veggies topped with peanut butter sauce, a specialty of Asian cuisines.

Not safe at homeOn April 4 at 7:59 p.m., police observed a

speeding vehicle travelling east on Central Av-enue.

“The police vehicle turned around and tried to stop the vehicle,” said Cpl. Richard Lanz of the Grand Forks RCMP detachment. “The lights on the police vehicle were activated and the vehicle did not stop. Police sirens were activated but the vehicle continued and went through some stop signs.”

Lanz said the vehicle continued travelling in excess of 50 km/h and up to 75 km/h in a resi-dential area.

“The vehicle proceeded to his residence and the driver got out of the vehicle,” he said. “He appeared to be staggering while he was heading for his residence. The male was apprehended for impaired driving. The member was assisted by two off-duty members for the arrest.”

Lanz said the driver was issued an automat-ic driver’s prohibition and will be appearing in court at a later date for refusing to provide a breath sample, impaired driving and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

The driver is a 38-year-old male from Grand Forks.Test results in driving prohibition

On April 15 at 12:30 a.m. RCMP officers conducted a traffic stop after observing a black GMC Yukon with Alberta plates travelling east on Highway 3 by Sec-ond Street.

Cpl. Lanz stated that the driver of the vehicle was noticed to have an odour of alcohol on her breath.

“As a result, a roadside screening device was given,” said Lanz. “The result of that test a warn. The driver of the vehicle was given a three-day driving prohibition.”Fight outside library

On April 16 at 12:25 p.m. police were called to a fight which occurred outside of the Grand Forks Public Library on Fifth Street between two adult males.

“There was a lot of yelling and screaming go-ing on,” said Lanz. “One male punched the other male a couple of times in the head. There were no visible injuries noted.”

Lanz said the fight occurred after an argument over a possible stolen laptop. The matter is still being investigated. “Charges are being submit-ted to Crown council,” he said.

Both males are from Grand Forks.Drunk male on lawn

On April 19 at 6:30 p.m. RCMP received a re-port of an intoxicated male passed out on a lawn at Christina Lake.

“Police attended and located the male, who was very intoxicated,” said Lanz. “He was ar-rested for being drunk in a public place. He was brought back and held in custody over night.”

The male, a 52-year-old from Nelson, was re-leased in the morning with a violation ticket for

being drunk in a public place. Mischief near 28 Mile Bridge

On April 20 at 2:14 p.m. police responded to a call about mischief which occurred at the 28 Mile Bridge area to some heavy duty equipment parked in the area.

“Some windows were broken and some gas was stolen,” said Lanz. “A fair amount of dam-age occurred.”

Any residents seeing anyone messing around with equipment in these areas are urged to call Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288.Garage broken into

On April 20 at 2:14 p.m. police were called to a report of a garage being broken into on 10th Street.

“Once the suspects were in the garage they rifled through a vehicle that was parked inside,” said Lanz. “It appears nothing had been stolen.”

The police would like to remind people to make sure their vehicles and garages are always locked.Castlegar driver pulled over

On April 23 at 7:08 RCMP responded to a re-port of a possible impaired driver travelling from Midway to Grand Forks.

“The complainant said the suspect’s vehicle was weaving quite bad and al-most crashed,” said Lanz. “The vehicle was located just west of Grand Forks and a traffic stop was initiated.” Lanz said the driver showed signs of impair-

ment as a strong odour of liquor could be detect-ed from him.

“An ASD demand was read and the driver refused to provide a breath sample,” said Lanz. “The driver was also on conditions not be in pos-session of any knives except when preparing meals or in lawful employment. The male did have a knife in his pocket at the time of his ar-rest.”

Lanz said that charges are being recommend-ed for the driver for impaired driving, failure to provide a breath sample and breach of probation. The driver is a 46-year-old male from Castlegar driving a Toyota pick-up truck.

The driver was also issued a violation ticket for having open liquor in a motor vehicle.Semi hits pole

On April 26, a semi-tractor trailer struck and sheered off a power pole on Donaldson Drive.

“The vehicle continued and then pulled over to call police otherwise he would’ve been block-ing traffic if he stayed there,” said Lanz. “He was making a left turn onto Donaldson from 19th Street and then hit the pole.”

Lanz said the driver, a 32-year-old male from Coldstream, was going at a very slow rate of speed when hitting the pole. There was very mi-nor damage to the front bumper of the semi.

City crews were called out to repair the power pole. There were no charges.

Carbon tax reimbursedThe City of Grand Forks has been rewarded

for reducing greenhouse gases by receiving a grant for $7,866 from the provincial government.

The money is part of the Climate Action Reve-nue Incentive Program (CARIP), which provides conditional grants to communities that have signed the Climate Action Charter and supports their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Communities that report publicly on their prog-ress toward meeting their climate action goals are eligible to receive a grant equivalent to 100 per cent of the carbon tax they pay directly.

“This is a great example of the province and local governments working toward the common goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” said Linda Larson, Boundary-Similkameen MLA.

“Our government is committed to communities that take the lead in the field of climate change.”

Roxanne Shepherd, chief financial officer for Grand Forks, said CARIP is a calculation of car-bon tax paid directly by the local government for fuel purchased between Jan. 1 and Dec. 1, 2014. “The city keeps records of the carbon tax we pay through the year and submits it in a report to the province,” said Shepherd.

“The province then reimburses us. The $7,866 was for 2014. Currently, the money is going into general revenue.”

Shepherd adds that the city also calculates their carbon footprint at $25/tonne and puts that money into a carbon reserve each year for proj-ects which help the city meet their carbon neutral commitment.

“For 2014, the city put in $7,150 into the car-bon reserve,” she said.

Every year British Columbians are involved in human-wildlife conflicts.

To reduce these potentially dangerous situ-ations, the province is awarding WildSafeBC $275,000 to provide education and increase awareness in communities.

As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, British Columbians are spending more time outdoors, increasing the chances of human-wildlife conflict. The majority of these encounters are with bears emerging from hibernation and looking for food. Other wildlife—such as cou-gars, coyotes and wolves—are becoming more active, and increasing the potential for conflict.

This provincial funding will allow Wild-SafeBC to support more than 100 communities throughout B.C. in their efforts to reduce hu-man-wildlife conflicts. This year, 22 coordina-tors (Laurie Grant is our local coordinator) will provide presentations to community groups, schools and residents, offering educational tips to reduce these conflicts.

WildSafeBC is designed, owned and deliv-ered by the B.C. Conservation Foundation. The primary objective is keeping wildlife wild and communities safe by arming British Columbians with the tools necessary to discourage wildlife from lingering in residential areas. Locking up garbage, picking ripe fruit and installing sensor lights are a few ways to keep wildlife moving through urban areas.

The Conservation Officer Service (COS) is

B.C.’s primary responder to human-wildlife conflicts where there is a risk to public safety, conservation concerns, or where significant property damage has occurred.

The COS is working closely with local govern-ments and co-ordinators to identify and resolve wildlife-related issues in B.C. communities.

In 2014-15, the Conservation Officer Service received 29,200 calls regarding human-wildlife conflicts. Of those calls, 17,771 involved bears.

Quick Facts:• Communities where at-

tractants are managed properly have seen a decline in related hu-man-wildlife conflicts, and in the number of animals that have to be destroyed.

• The most effective and natural way to reduce human-wildlife interac-tion is to properly man-age food attractants such as garbage, birdseed, compost, pet food and fruit so they are not accessible to wildlife.

• Relocating wildlife is neither viable nor a long-term solution in managing these kinds of conflicts. Often, relocated wildlife will return to conflict situations or will not survive com-peting with already established populations.

• The British Columbia Conservation Founda-tion has administered WildSafeBC (formerly Bear Aware) since 1998.

Telus is investing $1.2 million in new commu-nications infrastructure in Grand Forks this year.

The investment is to meet growing demand for high-speed Internet services, update every wireless site in the community to 4G LTE, and enhance Optik TV service, announced Telus in a press release last week.

“The demand for Internet and wireless ser-vices continues to explode in Grand Forks, and our investment this year will build upon the sus-tained work of past years to continue increasing the speed and capacity of our networks through-out the community,” said Steve Jenkins, Telus general manager for the Southern Interior, in the release. “Our networks also provide the com-munications backbone for critical services such as education and health care, which will benefit people right here in Grand Forks for years to come.”

The City of Grand Forks was pleased to hear

the news. “This project is a great news story for our com-

munity,” Mayor Frank Konrad said in a press re-lease. “We’re really excited about this project as access to this technology will help spur growth and create opportunities in Grand Forks, now and in the future. Our residents and businesses will benefit form the faster Internet speeds and enhanced communications and entertainment services.”

In Grand Forks this year and beyond, Telus will:

• Upgrade every wireless site to 4G LTE;• Continue to rapidly deploy 700MHz wire-

less spectrum to further increase capacity;• Commence planning for how to best put

Telus’ newly-purchased AWS-3 spectrum to work adding much-needed wireless capacity;

• Increase the speed, capacity and availability of Internet services for homes and businesses;

• Enhance Telus’ Future Friendly Home solu-tions.

Gallery 2 Art and Heritage Centre is pleased to present “Tom Thomson and the Grey Canoe” exhibition, cu-rated by Ted Fogg.

This exhibition provides an intro-duction to the 1911-17 time period in the life and art of Tom Thomson: from his employment as a graphic designer at Grip, to his establishment as one of Canada’s foremost landscape artists, to his influence on the development of the Group of Seven.

The majority of his painted sketch-es were produced in Ontario’s Algon-quin Provincial Park and much of the landscape he and his fellow artists de-picted was only accessible by water.

The canoe was as important to the

artistic development of Tom Thom-son as his brushes and tubes of paint. Thomson traveled thousands of miles by canoe: as a painter, a fishing guide, a park ranger and for his personal enjoyment. This exhibition includes a short history of the canoe from in-digenous First Nations use to the de-velopment of the “white-man” canoe with particular attention to the Chest-nut Canoe Company, the builder of choice for Thomson.

The focus of this exhibition is on the man, his love of canoeing the riv-ers and lakes of Ontario, his passion for painting, and his deep friendships. The video, photographs, text panels, and letters provide a window into his relationship with the landscape he experienced and his friends and fellow painters who encouraged his

artistic development as they paddled, sketched, and fished with him.

This exhibit is unique to the gallery and will feature a fully restored, circa 1960, 4.8-metre (16-foot) Guide Spe-cial Chestnut Canoe similar to the one used by Tom Thomson.

The restoration was completed by Mike Elliott of the Kettle River Canoes of Grand Forks and donated as fundraiser for the gallery. The re-stored Chestnut canoe has a value of $7,000 and, with a limit of 200 raffle tickets, the odds of winning this beautiful canoe are very good. Come join us on Saturday, May 9 for the opening reception from 1-3 p.m. Mike Elliott, who kindly donated his time and the Chestnut canoe to this heritage exhibit, will be present for the opening.

“There is nothing to do in this town!” To receive a quarter every time this was said would add up to a tidy sum.

Regardless of what naysayers are looking for, if they are looking for an exciting, fun evening out, with glamorous live entertainment, delicious appies, drinks and dancing, an opportunity to dress up AND win cool prizes, they need look no further.

Saturday, May 9, Grand Forks will be a nightlife hot spot at the Masonic Lodge where local dance troupe Rara Avis Dancers hosts The Rare Bird Revue.

Dress up in your “night on the town” best, or a hot cabaret nightclub get-up and be eligible to win great prizes. Great dance tunes will inspire you to move on the open dance floor. Costumes and getting up to strut your stuff is optional.

A nightclub atmosphere and tables to relax and nib-ble on snacks while you sit back and enjoy the show featuring local dance troupes is a great way to relax after a busy week if you aren’t one to shake your booty on the dance floor.

Troupes have been preparing their sauciest num-bers for you to great Broadway burlesque and jazz songs such as Be Italian and I’m a Good Girl.

Your local dance ladies are donning their fishnets and bustiers and pulling out all the stops. You don’t want to miss this great show and dance event.

The show takes place at the Masonic Lodge in downtown Grand Forks, right next door to Body Edge Fitness. Doors and bar open at 7 p.m., the show starts at 8 p.m. Advance tickets are $15 at Thistle Pot Gifts in Grand Forks, and at the door, space permit-ting, $20.

Cabaret show sure to entertainMICHELE DEANSubmitted to the Gazette

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF GRAND FORKS

NOTICEPICKLE BALL PROPOSAL IMPACTING

BARBARA ANN PARK TENNIS COURTS� e pickle ball group has requested that Council consider having the City

re-purpose one of the tennis courts at Barbara Ann Park and install four (4) permanent pickle ball courts.

� e popularity of pickle ball is picking up and the local pickle ball community is growing rapidly both from residents and visitors alike. Pickle ball is recognized as a fast-paced game, great for hand-eye co-ordination, mental alertness and socializing.

� e pickle ball group currently plays at the Barbara Ann Park tennis courts during the spring, summer and early fall months. Temporary lines were painted within the tennis court lines a few years back but have become too confusing. � e existing tennis court nets are too high as per pickle ball guidelines.

� e City would like your feedback regarding the request to eliminate one of the Barbara Ann Park tennis courts and resurface and paint on the pickle ball lines. Your opinion is important to us and we look forward to hearing from you.

Please contact Sasha Bird, Manager of Development and Engineering, via email or telephone by 4:00 p.m. on May 14, 2015, to share your thoughts.

Noti ce of road maintenance, logging and log hauling operati ons in the Gilpin Grasslands and Morrissey Creek area. Logging, road-building, and road-maintenance operati ons in areas on and adjacent to the Gilpin and Dan O’Rea Forest Service Roads will commence on April 20th and carry on for a period of 2 - 3 months.

Public users are advised to wait for an industrial vehicle and ask for assis-tance on how best to proceed. Please observe signs indicati ng “acti ve logging” or “acti ve worksites”, and do not enter these areas. Interfor apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.If you have any questi ons or concerns, please contact Jamie Hibberson, Woodlands Supervisor (250-443-2408).

Rivers’EdgebringsWitchesto stage (Left to Right) Rivers’ Edge Theatre Society members Norma Bick-

nell, Mike Tollis, Clorice Metcalfe (steadicam operator) and Diane Korol at rehearsal for The Kitchen Witches.

Spring is the traditional time for a Women’s Institute conference in the Kettle River District, which encompasses branches from Rock Creek, Beaverdell, Bridesville and Grand Forks. This year it was Sunshine Valley turn in Grand Forks.

The theme for the day was “Put Your Best Face Forward.”

Nancy Podmorow, beauty consultant for Mary Kay products, had an information table and was guest speaker in the afternoon.

Over 30 Women’s Institute (WI) members from the four branches and guests from Arden, Washington met in the Baptist Church Hall on Wednesday, April 22, decorated with spring flowers and WI posters and information.

Entries for four competitions were judged by People’s Choice with the winners going on to the provincial level for further judg-ing. The popular “branch five item display” of members’ handicrafts showed how talented the ladies are.

Other sales tables offered plants, books and a silent auction, which were popular over lunch break.

The business meeting was con-ducted efficiently by District Presi-dent Norma Tilgner of Rock Creek and included five-minute reports by each branch and the president’s report, which confirmed all WI’s are busy “for home and country” in various ways.

Life members were recognized, and service awards presented to Delores McNee and Ella Thate.

The board for 2015-16 were in-stalled and sworn in as follows: president Marie Bourgh, Bridesville WI; directors Lynn McKillican of Main River WI, Marje Robishaund

of Bridesville WI, Brenda Schmaltz of Rock Creek WI and Eloise Kingswood of Sunshine Valley WI. Secretary is Sharon Funnell and treasurer Ruth Champagne were re-appointed.

As Womem’s Institutes are part of the Associ-ated Country Women of the World, we support their projects, and passed a Loonie bowl around for donations to them.

Sunslline Valley Wl members provided a noon luncheon with lots of choices both for savory and sweet foods. Each table setting had a small cos-metic travel bag, made by a SVWI member, with a sample Mary Kay product inside.

Nancy Podmorow gave an interesting talk about the philosophy of Mary Kay Ash, founder of a very successful business and charitable foun-dation.

Next year the spring conforence will be held in Bridesville.

Rivers’ Edge Theatre Society is pleased to an-nounce they are in pre-production with Canadi-an playwright Caroline Smith’s award-winning script, The Kitchen Witches.

The show stars Diane Korol as Isobel Lomax and Norma Bicknell as Dolly Biddle who are two “mature” cable-access cooking show host-esses who have hated each other for 30 years, ever since Larry Biddle dated one and married the other.

When circumstances put them together on a TV show called The Kitchen Witches, the in-sults are flung harder than the food! Dolly’s long-suffering TV-producer son Stephen (Mike Tollis) tries to keep them on track, but as long as Dolly’s dressing room is one inch closer to the set than Isobel’s, it’s a losing battle, and the show becomes a rating smash as Dolly and Isobel top

both Martha Stewart and Jerry Springer!. The Rivers’ Edge cast is laughing its way

through rehearsals and a merry team of volun-teers are behind the scenes preparing to deliver to a stage near you the quality production our community has come to expect from Rivers’ Edge Theatre.

The Kitchen Witches is a tour de force of fun and laughter that will be presented in partner-ship with Lisa’s Bistro as dinner theatre on May 27, 29 and 30 at the Christina Living Arts Centre at Christina Lake. Lisa’s Bistro has prepared an exciting menu to compliment the sweet and sa-vory action you’ll discover on the stage.

For fans of live theatre who want to see the show without dinner: June 4, 5, and 6 the produc-tion moves to The GEM Theatre in Grand Forks; and June 13 and 14 The Kitchen Witches will be serving their feast of fun at Greenwood’s McAr-thur Centre.

Doucette a woman to watchA Grand Forks Secondary (GFSS)

grad is taking the business world by storm. Jill Doucette, who graduated from GFSS in 2004, owns her own en-vironmental consulting firm and was recently named Victoria’s 2015 Woman to Watch.

Doucette, who is 28 years old, enjoys returning to Grand Forks several times a year to visit friends and family. She grew up here and went to Hutton Elementary and then moved on to the high school. At GFSS she began to cultivate an inter-est in the sciences and took inspiration from teachers such as Mr. Nuyten, Mr. Farnsworth and Mr. Behl. “Mr. Nuyten really sparked my interest in biology,” she said.

After graduating from high school, Doucette went to the University of Vic-toria where she graduated with a degree in biology in 2010. During her time at university she was able to try her hand at different jobs and gain some experi-ence in her field before launching her own business.

“I did some work in research, clean technology research, worked in the busi-ness faculty at UVic,” she said. “I had a number of jobs all to do with environ-mental research or business. All of that sort of pointed to what I wanted to do on my own, which is to help businesses reduce their environmental impact and become more integrated into communi-ties. That’s why I started Synergy Enter-prises, to focus on that work.”

She launched the company in down-town Victoria right after graduating university. “It’s just been growing since,” said Doucette. “We’re opening a Vancouver office this summer. That’ll be a big challenge for us. That’ll be exciting but equally terrifying.”

Doucette said the company mainly focuses on medium-sized businesses al-though they do work with smaller and large companies.

“Some of our clients have offices all over the world and thousands of staff while others are small coffee shops,” she said. “Really our model applies to a va-riety of scales. We work with any sector as well.”

Doucette said their niche is working with companies that want to be leaders in their sector in sustainability.

“They don’t want to just recycle and change light bulbs and all that,” she said. “It’s necessary but they want to break the mold and show that business can be done differently. They not only want to act on that and implement new strategies and green activities but also to share that with the rest of their sector.”

Doucette said she really enjoys work-ing with some of the most progressive businesses and help make changes in how they operate.

“We work on a variety of environ-mental issues and solutions and work to actually implement them,” she said.

“We’re metrics geeks so we’re always working to measure our client’s carbon footprint. We get excited when we work hard for a year and see real progress af-ter that one year.”

Doucette said she makes it a goal to spend at least two months in Grand Jo-

Forks. She sees a lot of potential in town with some of the new businesses spring-ing up.

“It’s always good to come home,” she said. “I think there’s been a lot of great new businesses come up and a lot of long-standing ones that are doing great. It’s cool to come back and see the local community.”

Doucette loves how Grand Forks em-braces its quirkiness. She also thinks it has a unique culture and unique land-scape with a good mix of a small down-town core, agriculture and tourism with Christina Lake nearby. “It has such great diversity,” she said.

Doucette was thrilled to learn she was named the 2015 Woman to Watch for Victoria. Her picture and story about the award appeared in the March 2015 Seaside Magazine.

“I was nominated and they called and said I had won and I was really surprised,” she said. “The best part was going to the event and meeting all these incredible women in business who are running successful businesses all over Vancouver Island.”

Doucette said it was really inspiring to hear the stories and struggles from the other women who were nominated.

Try a nutritional approach to allergiesI have always been

passionate about nat-ural ways of staying healthy.

Growing up in Russia, I developed a great interest for cook-ing at a young age thanks to my mom who taught me how to cook tasty meals from scratch. We never bought pro-cessed foods and had hardly any canned foods in our cupboards.

When in Canada, my passion for food and nutrition led me to become a holistic nutritionist. I have now made Grand Forks my home and am excited about writing a monthly column for the Gazette about nourishing foods for health.

The spring is finally here! For many of us this time of year means not only warm weather, sunshine and blooming trees, but also, unfortunately, the time when we have to deal with seasonal al-lergies.

Our immune system’s primary task is to identify between what is beneficial for our body and what is foreign to it. When we have allergies, our immune system becomes hyper-reactive, responding to dust, pollen and other triggers, which normally it is supposed to tolerate. This exposure to allergic substances results in the release of histamine and other inflammatory chemicals, causing itchy and watery eyes, runny nose, conges-

tion and skin reac-tions.

Many factors can contribute to aller-gic reactions, among them diet, stress and our external environ-ment. Luckily, there is a natural solution

to managing allergies. I believe diet plays crucial role in pre-

vention and minimizing seasonal aller-gies. Did you know that 80 per cent of our immune system cells is in the gut? So, it is vital to pay attention to our gas-trointestinal tract and ensure proper digestion of foods when addressing al-lergies. Here are some dietary tips for easing you into the allergy season:

Eat a variety of fresh, unprocessed foods.

Drink plenty of clean filtered water. If you are aware of food sensitivities

to specific foods (i.e. gluten, dairy, corn, eggs, etc.), eliminate those foods from your diet to help decrease the stress on the immune system (the allergic load).

Opt for foods rich in antioxidants—substances that can help reduce the process of oxidation and cellular dam-age, which contribute to the weakened immune system. Their food sources are:

Vitamin A: sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach

Vitamin E: sunflower seeds, almonds, green peas, kale, cucumber

Vitamin C: citrus fruits, strawber-ries, broccoli, dark leafy greens, red and green peppers

Bioflavonoids—plant chemicals, that are very high in antioxidants. Food sources are lemons, grapes, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, broccoli and buckwheat.

Zinc has been shown to support the immune function. You can obtain this mineral from red meats, herring, nuts, pumpkin seeds, ginger root and mus-tard.

Please buy organic produce whenev-er possible. To get The Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce please check the Environmental Working Group website: www.ewg.org.

Achieving optimum health is a jour-ney for us all. I hope you are willing to make proper nutrition a part of your journey!

Blueberry Pumpkin Seed Immune Boosting Smoothie

¼ cup frozen wild blueberries½ cup coconut water 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds (can be soaked overnight)1 organic pear, seeds removed, chopped1 tsp minced fresh ginger1 tsp lemon juice1 tsp flax seeds½ cup loosely packed organic spinach

AGM

I was sitting outside enjoying the sunshine this weekend, lis-tening for hum-mingbirds visit-ing their feeder and watching the regular feed-er for the various species that come to it for seeds and nuts.

I began thinking about how much is spent, in our valley, on bird seed, suet, peanuts and sug-ar or hummingbird food. I know what we spend, and we have fewer feeders, that need filling a lot less frequently than many people in our valley. Just think what it would be like if similar amounts were spent to feed people!

Many of us plant sunflowers in order to dry the seeds for the birds, perhaps we could also be planting a row of beans or lettuce or carrots for the food bank. And if, every time we buy bird seed we could also buy something for the food bank or make a financial donation

to it, what a differ-ence it could make to our clients!

Non-perishable donations can be left in our bins at Overwaitea, Buy-Low or Extra Foods or brought to the

food bank at 7419 Second St., Grand Forks on Tuesdays. Cash donations can be brought to the food bank as well, mailed to us at Box 1052, Grand Forks or you can do-nate online through CanadaHelps.org.

In addition to canned goods such as proteins, ready-to-serve meals and veg-etables, we can also use peanut butter, pasta, rice, personal hygiene products, clean egg cartons and clean, intact, plastic grocery bags.

Hunger matters,

and while it certainly matters to the birds, it matters more to people. With first quarter client numbers being 19 per cent higher this year compared to last, we know that more people are experiencing hun-ger, and everything that goes with it, in our communities.

You can help. Help us help those in our communities who need it. Help them know that their hunger matters too.

Joke of the Week:Q: What do you call a boomerang that doesn’t come back?A: A stick.

Last week’s puzzle solved

Spring hoops heavenThere was plenty of basketball action Thurs-

day evening at GFSS as the Boundary Basket-ball Development League players battled.

The league goes twice a week for over seven weeks and features 40 players from grades 4-7. The players work on skills each Tuesday and

scrimmage on Thursdays. The league is made up of boys and girls from Grand Forks and Christina Lake.

Organizer Scott Stewart said the league is for developing players’ skills and give them a head start for when they get to the high school. Helping Stewart coach are some players from the high school as well as community coaches.

Hockey fever hits the valleyThe Gazette is pleased to present part three of

a three-part series on Boundary hockey history. Next week we feature a story specifically on Duncan McMillan ‘Mickey’ MacKay.

In The Life and Times of Grand Forks by Al-ice and Jim Glanville they write, “Hockey fever infected the locals in the winter months as shown by the 488 paid admissions to a hockey game between Grand Forks and Greenwood on Jan. 27, 1910. The 150 Greenwood supporters came to Grand Forks on a CPR special train.”

The Gazette reported in 1913, “Eight hundred attended a hockey game in Grand Forks, including 150 from Phoenix.”

A second account from the Glanville Centennial History re-fers to a game on Feb. 11, 1914 when over 1,000 fans attended the contest be-tween Phoenix and Grand Forks. Administration

Understandably the players on any team are the major focus but the faithful support of fans is a critical component to a team’s success. A third ele-ment that is necessary in achieving a winning for-mula is administration. From within a community gifted and committed persons must step forward to govern the operation of the club. This is as true today as it was a century ago.

The historic photo of the 1913-14 Grand Forks championship roster includes the executive who offered leadership and assistance. The president was N.L. McInnes, owner of several businesses in the community including selling McLaughlin cars.

One day, someone bet him $50 that his six-cyl-inder McLaughlin would not be able to make it to the top of Spencer Hill in high gear. This hockey

president accepted the challenge and picked up an easy $50 which would be around $1,100 today! [From The Life and Times of Grand Forks by Alice and Jim Glanville]

The secretary of the team was T.A. (Tom) Love. In 1911 he moved down from Phoenix to become the editor of the Grand Forks Gazette.

Love became very active in civic affairs as well as the hockey team. He was elected mayor of Grand Forks 13 times, served as an MLA in the

provincial government and was also the chair of the school board. Love submitted the winning entry in a 1921 contest to choose a motto for the Grand Forks valley. Now you know who named this place the Sunshine Valley!Grand Forks Border Bruins

The purpose of this article was to look back at the early development of hockey in the Boundary Country which was also the dawning of hockey in Brit-ish Columbia. What a cherished piece of our history!

However, another date needs to be highlighted in the overall history of hockey local-ly. On a hot summer day in 1969, representatives from Grand Forks and other communities met in Castlegar to formulate plans to establish a junior hockey league.

Five teams including the Grand Forks Border Bruins officially launched the West Kootenay Ju-nior Hockey League, 1969-70 being the inaugu-ral season. Spokane joined in 1972, and the name was changed to the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. The KIJHL, with 20 teams, is now the largest Junior B League west of Southern On-tario. Many also believe it is the best. Conclusion

Grand Forks and the Boundary are known for many things. There is much to commemorate in our history, our land and our people. In this com-mentary I have made the claim that when it comes to the origin and establishment of organized and top calibre ice hockey in Canada’s westernmost province look no further than this place.

Junior girls softball thrivesCRAIG LINDSAYGrand Forks Gazette

A couple of moms have stepped up to make sure the young females in Grand Forks and the area are able to play softball.

When Jennifer Wetmore and Dayna Esson found out there would be no president of girls softball, they decided to step up and coach so that the younger girls (aged 7-14) would get a chance to play.

Wetmore and Esson, who coached the junior girls last year, are glad to return to the field.

“We volunteered to help last year because both of our girls were interested in starting up,” said Esson. “Our girls brought their friends out last year so we had 20 junior players come out, three quarters of whom were first-timers.”

Esson said when no one stepped up to take responsibility for the league this year, they vol-unteered to coach.

“Our daughters still wanted to play ball so we have volunteered again to keep those girls who want to play involved in the sport,” she said. “Softball is a great sport. It’s great for kids

who aren’t really aggressive physical players be-cause there is no contact. It involves developing individual skill because you are responsible for covering a specific position. It encourages hand/eye coordination as well as being part of a team.”

Unfortunately, with the lack of a president, the senior girls fastpitch league will not be run-ning this year although many of those girls are playing in the women’s fastball league.

“A few of the players from the women’s league have left their previous teams to help cre-ate a new team in the league as well as to help mentor these young ladies,” said Esson.

Esson said the junior girls league will feature everyone practicing together and then splitting into teams for scrimmage games.

Sign-up for the junior girls fastpitch league is still on. The season starts May 5 and goes for six weeks ending June 18. The league is available to girls aged 7-14 from any community and the fee is $35.

The group meets on Tuesdays and Thursday from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at Dick Bartlett Park field #4. To register or for more information, email Dayna at [email protected] or phone 250-442-2704.

The Canadian Red Cross has a long history of devel-oping well-trained profes-sional instructors who love swimming as much as they love to help others learn.

Anyone age 15 or older can start with the Assis-tant Water Safety Instructor (AWSI) course. Through course training and practical hands-on experience, they develop their skills. The Water Safety Instructor (WSI) program polishes these skills and provides ad-ditional tools to gain employment in aquatics as a Red Cross Water Safety Instructor.

The Grand Forks Aquatic Centre will be of-fering an AWSI and WSI certification this sum-mer. The AWSI course is a 30-hour program that will be held the week of July 13 - 17. The WSI course is a 24-hour course that will be held the week of Aug. 4 to Aug. 7. Call today to pre-reg-ister for this once a year certification offer.Sign up now for lessons

Fastpitch league expands It’s game on for the Boundary Women’s Soft-

ball League, which has grown to six teams this year.

The teams play twice a week, Mondays and Wednesdays, rotating through ball parks throughout the Boundary.

“All teams have some form of coaching staff and practices are held at various days and times when convenient,” said Darryl Funk, one of the coaches. “The league teams, players and coaches are all registered with Softball B.C. at the D level and play by the rules endorsed by this associa-tion.”

Funk said the league plays by rules known as fastpitch softball where the pitchers are allowed

to use a windmill arm motion to deliver the ball to the batter.

“The league expanded by two teams this year and absorbed a lot of new and returning talent so the excitement level is up,” said Funk. “Teams have shuffled members a bit, so new rivalries are being created.”

Funk said that with the senior girls fastpitch league not running this year, the league has grown to allow those girls who wish to to keep playing.Upcoming scheduleMonday, May 4 - Liquor Store Chicks at Lime Creek Ladies, Merchants at Beaverdell and Bor-derline at Rock Creek.Wednesday, May 6 - Liquor Store Chicks at Mer-chants (Dick Bartlett Park), Rock Cree at Lime Creek Ladies and Beaverdell at Borderline.

Betty Marilyn CorsonSept 25, 1930 – April17, 2015

Betty was born in EI Paso, Texas, adopted by affl uent family Covey and Stella Baker were her par-ents reside in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Covey had several drug stores in N.M. He was well educated, with a college degree in Finances and administration in New Mexico.

From 1930-1963 she lived in the United States. On November 25, 1948 she married Paul Evans and went on to adopt Jerry, Nancy, John, Janell and Enoch. Betty and Paul’s only biological child is Ken-dall Evans who resides in Los Angeles. In 1967 Betty was remarried to Allen Corson in Toronto, Ontario, and became mother to his three daughters, Doreen, Carole and Helen. In 1972 they moved to Surrey, B.C. In 1976 Betty and Allen relocated to the Boundary Country: Midway, B.C. briefl y, then moved to Grand Forks, B.C.

Through the 39 years of life in Grand Forks, she was involved in inter-church prayer groups, Wom-en’s Aglow, bookkeeping, and various Prayer Group ministries. In the community she served in various capacities: Shaw Cable programmer, as regional treasurer in the conservative party, and occasionally brushing shoulders with Prime Minister Harper him-self! Her hobbies were sewing, crochet, baking, and sending care boxes fi lled with cookies.Betty loved to hand candies out at the church to the children. She was a contestant in TV shows and ra-dio shows, and as a result, she won a trip to Madrid, Spain. She won many other interesting prizes from the radio shows. In true sportsmanship, Betty loved to spank Dad in a round of golf at Christina Lake Par 3.

Truly she was a matriarch of an era and a pillar of the Church and her family. She has left a rich spiritu-al heritage to family. Her main passion was to serve the Lord with all her heart, mind, soul and strength, and also to see that many would be saved and know Jesus as she did especially her immediate family. We will see her again if we receive the Gift of Salvation.

Robert (Bob) Rene

DeMaertelaere July 27, 1943 – April 18, 2015

It is with great sadness, but with wonderful memories, we an-

nounce the passing of Robert (Bob) Rene DeMaertelaere, April 18, 2015. Born in Baldur, Manitoba, Bob recently passed away at the Boundary Hospital in Grand Forks, B.C.

In 1963, Bob married Beverly Jacquelien Orr and through the years they resided in the Manitoba commu-nities of Manitou, Crystal City, Winnipeg, and Anola. In the fall 2005, Bob and Bev migrated westward to Grand Forks, BC. Bob was an avid woodworker, gardener, dog enthusiast (especially with Quigley and McDuff), and spent many hours reading. Bob was also active in the community, engaged with the Boundary Museum, Boundary Woodworkers Guild, Chairman of the Advi-sory Planning Commission (RDKB Area D), Dog Agility Group, Dog Project Leader with the 4-H Club, and the Grand Forks Agricultural Fair.

Bob is survived by his wife of 51 years Beverly, sisters Elsie, Doris, and Mary (Len), siblings-in-law Harold (Marguerite), Tom (Carol), Shirley (Bruce), and many nieces and nephews. Bob is predeceased by his parents Ida and Paul, brother Marcel, and brothers-in-law Harold and Len. A celebration of life took place on April 24, 2015 at the Boundary Museum, 6145 Reservoir Road, Grand Forks. In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made in Bob’s memory to Boundary Museum. At this time, Bob’s family would like to express their gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and staff at the Boundary Hospital, the members of the Boundary Woodworkers Guild for their contribution and to the members of the Boundary Museum for hosting the celebration of life.

Cremation arrangements were entrusted to Grand Forks Funeral Home [email protected].

Courage to Change—a new meeting opens in Grand Forks.The Nar-Anon Family Groups have weekly meetings to help relatives

and friends of the addict avoid both rejection and over-protectiveness. Like alcoholism, drug dependence is considered to be a “family disease”, and the family members should be encouraged to attend Nar-anon meetings as soon as a drug problem is suspected.

One of the tragic aspects of drug abuse is that the needs of the family are not being met. Nar-anon Family Groups are providing a major source of help to the relatives and friends of addicts. Nar-Anon offers a construc-tive program whereby its members learn to achieve peace of mind and gain hope for the future. They learn to accept addiction as a disease; to reduce family tension; and to encourage the addict to seek help for his or her own problem.

Nar-Anon is entirely self-supporting through voluntary contributions of its members. The identity of individuals and what is said at the meetings is carefully guarded by its members.

Do you need Nar-anon?This questionnaire may help you make that decision, so take a few min-

utes to answer the questions honestly and with an open mind. After all, you are the only one who truly knows how you feel and what you live with on a day-to-day basis.

1. Do you find yourself making excuses, lying, or covering up for some-one?

2. Do you have a reason not to trust a person?3. Is it becoming difficult for you to believe his/her explanations?4. Do you lie awake worrying about this person?5. If it is your child; is he/she missing school often without your knowl-

edge?6. If it is your spouse, is he/she missing work and leaving bills to pile up?7. Are your savings mysteriously disappearing?8. Are the unanswered questions causing hostility and undermining your

relationship?9. Are you asking yourself, “What’s wrong?” and “Is it my fault?”10. Are normal family disagreements becoming hostile and violent?11. Are your suspicions turning you into detective and are you afraid of

what you might find?12. Are you cancel-

ling your social func-tions with vague ex-cuses?

13. Are you becom-ing increasingly reluc-tant to invite friends to your home?

14. Is concern for this person caus-ing you headaches, a knotty stomach, and extreme anxiety?

15. Is this person easily irritated by min-ute matters? Does your whole life seem like a nightmare?

16. Are you unable to discuss the situation with friends or rela-tives because of em-barrassment?

17. Are you frus-trated by ineffective attempts to control the situation?

18. Do you over-compensate and try not to make waves?

19. Do you keep try-ing to make things bet-ter and nothing helps?

20. Are the style and friends of this person changing? Do you ever think that they may be using drugs?

If you answered yes to four or more of these questions, Nar-Anon may help you find the answers you are look-ing for. Grand Forks “Courage to Change” meetings are held Tuesdays at 7 p.m. at the United Church (side entrance), 920 Central Ave.

Coordinator Diana Borthwick wel-comed over 80 Girls in Action and their mothers, Pals and Guides to the annual banquet, held this year at Pines Bible

Camp.A great array of salads, cold meat and

cheese platters and homemade buns by Donna Ashton and Jane deVries greeted the group, plus delicious desserts.

Vicki Krahn and Richard Friesen, Pines staff, helped set up and clean up.

Girls were present-ed with their badges and some groups sang for their moms. Emily Ralston played her vio-lin as well.

After dinner the girls went up to their cabins to get into pa-jamas and then back down to watch videos and enjoy popcorn.

On Saturday, they worked on badges which included learn-ing how to make camp-fires. It was a great overnighter and fine weather added to the enjoyment.

Pioneer Clubs re-sume in fall.

Lots of fun at campoutMARGE BEKKERFor the Grand Forks Gazette

Golfers can save and helplungassoc.

Flowers are bloom-ing and the weather’s improving—sure signs for golfers to swing into savings with the B.C. Lung Associa-tion’s Golf Privilege Club® Membership Book.

“Our membership book saves golfers hundreds of dollars for less than the price of one round of golf. It’s also a great way for golfers to pay less and play more while supporting the lung association’s work to improve lung health in British Columbia,” says Michele Caskey, BC Lung Association volunteer director for Grand Forks.

For only $35, the membership book entitles golfers to dis-counts at more than 120 courses across B.C. and Washington State. All proceeds go to B.C. Lung Association’s various programs and services.

Save on golf while supporting the one in five British Columbi-ans living with breath-ing problems. Buy a Golf Privilege Club® Book today! Visit www.golfandsave.ca or call 1-800-665-5864.
