❚ POPULATION

The City of Grand Forks’ population has fall-en to 3,985, according to 2011’s census fi gures re-leased by Statistics Canada.

The most recent fi gures have dropped below the city’s 1996 population of 3,994.

In 2001, it climbed to 4,054 before dipping again in 2006 to 4,036.

The loss of residents represents a 1.3 per cent decrease in Grand Forks’ growth rate.

“We haven’t received (all) the information yet from Statistics Canada, but as soon as we do re-ceive the information, we’ll be circulating that to the public in an agenda or some form of in-formation,” stated Diane Hein-rich, the city’s corporate offi cer. “I don’t believe there is a huge change in our population. It stays mostly static.”

Mayor Brian Taylor agreed, stating the results are slightly skewed.

“If you look at the impact the census had on the area surrounding Grand Forks, in particular out from Spraggett Road towards the west, when you add that in, we come pretty close to zero (growth),” he explained. “To me, that (area is) our community, so even though the census goes strictly by the parameters on the town, as a community itself, we’ve stayed pretty stable.”

Rather than focusing on increasing the popu-lation, Taylor noted the challenge Grand Forks faces is the dramatic change in the demograph-ic.

“We had the infl ux of early retirees and hope-fully what I see, is that there will be a balance,” he stated. “It’s going to take young people to look after old people.”

The new subdivisions for the Silver Kettle Vil-lage development will bring 110 jobs to Grand Forks, which will bring younger workers, Taylor pointed out.

“We’ll also need to be ready for a daycare pop-

ulation, so in the end, I think we will have a bal-anced population,” he added. “The question is, in the middle, what are we going to have? We’re going to have young people and old people.”

In Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB), Area D saw a slight increase of 11 to 3,187, from 3,176 in 2006.

“I was pleased to see that,” stated Area D Di-rector Irene Perepolkin, who pointed out there were a few new homes going up in the area.

“People are looking for a little bit of room once they retire to this community and they want a piece of land surrounding them if they’re mov-ing from the city,” explained Perepolkin. “We do

a lot of home-based businesses in Area D without having to get a business license, which is a bit of an enticement as well. People don’t want to fully re-tire but they want to keep put-tering around to do something, which is a good way to do it.”

As for the next fi ve years, Perepolkin doesn’t believe there will be a large jump in numbers, but there will be a gradual increase in popula-tion.

In RDKB Area C, there was decrease of 44 residents to

1,391 since last count.Area C Director Grace McGregor stated the

lack of jobs one of the reasons for the decrease in population.

“It’s hard to keep young people in your com-munity when you don’t have work for them,” ex-plained McGregor. “A lot of places have dropped, and a lot of people are moving to cities instead of staying in the rural areas because of simple things like the close proximity to the hospital, or being able to walk downtown.”

McGregor also believes the province isn’t helping the rural areas keep their residents.

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary thought other-wise. Months later and over $40,000 in bills, the landowners’ second house lies in a pile of rubble under tarps, demol-ished by the RDKB.2007

City council last week voted in fa-vour of Bylaw 1824, intended to address a short fall in operating costs.

Effective immedi-ately, the charge will appear on bills sent out at the end of February.

THE PAST

Pet of the Week TillmanHi, my name is Tillman the Cat and I am a regular domestic house cat. Nothing fancy, although I do look a bit like an ocelot. I am very affectionate to almost everyone, and especially love my parents and my uncle Tim. I have lots of fun playing, but my favourite thing is to play in the bath tub. There are lots of toys at my house, but my mom’s Q-tips are something I love to take and hide. I like to drop them down the tub drain and it makes my mom cross! Another thing I absolutely love is when my dad grows his beard. He only has it in the fall, so I take advantage of rubbing my furry little face all over his! I make quite a fool of myself, but I don’t care. I’m glad to be a source of happiness for my family. They love me, and I love them. It’s a cat’s life. Now where is the food? ~ Barb & Randy

❚ EDUCATION

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) is seek-ing approval for a province-wide strike to esca-late job action to a full withdrawal of services.

In Grand Forks, teachers worked bell-to-bell on Monday, where teachers arrived at school fi ve minutes early and left fi ve minutes after school.

During lunchtime, teachers met in staff rooms to discuss what was going on and allowed them the opportunity to ask questions.

After school, teachers held a peaceful demon-stration outside of A&W and Flexus gym.

“We’re not going to be waving scabbards,” stated Norm Sabourin, president of the Bound-ary District Teachers’ Association. “We just want to be out there and be seen.”

According to Sabourin, the BCTF will be meet-ing on Tuesday and Wednesday to decide wheth-er there will be a province-wide strike vote.

“Like with our phase one, the plan was to put pressure on the employer, the government, to bargain with us,” explained Sabourin.

“The plan here is to put pressure on BCPSEA (B.C. Public School Employers’ Association) and the government to bargain. The BCTF pushed hard for a mediated settlement recently and upon hearing of our upcoming strike vote, they reluctantly agreed to go into mediation.”

Sabourin stated the BCTF would like to see more co-operation with the government.

“We’re hoping for a strong strike vote in favour of escalating (job action) and then not have to use it,” he said.

“We’re hoping we can use it for leverage to help come to an agreement. We don’t want to be legislated.”

Superintendent of Schools for School District 51 Michael Strukoff stated, “There seems to be a pattern between the disputes between BCTF and the government. In our particular case, I don’t foresee anything happening this week and then there is two weeks until we’re on spring break.”

Strukoff pointed out the outcome is still un-certain about whether or not services will be withdrawn.

“I truly hope both parties fi nd some alterna-tives and allow the kids to continue with school and things return to normal by the end of spring break,” he concluded.

The ballot question teachers will be asked is: Are you in favour of escalating job action to a full withdrawal of services?

The decision was not available by press time.

❚ POLICE REPORT

Horse shot in chestA horse appeared to be shot on

a rural property near Almond Gar-dens Road and Spraggett Road area on Feb. 26 at 12:59 p.m.

The Arabian-cross horse was 10 to 11 years old, and appeared to be shot in the chest/neck area.

“Unfortunately, the owner had to put the animal down,” stated Grand Forks RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison.

RCMP made an attempt to locate the bullet but was unable to fi nd it.

“We are seeking public assis-tance on information in regards to incident,” added Harrison.

“If anyone has any information, they are encouraged to contact Grand Forks RCMP or phone Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).”

Crime Stopper callers do not have to reveal their identities and

can remain anonymous.Gas siphoned from truck

A report was fi led on Feb. 18 about gas siphoned from a GMC Sierra pickup parked on Donaldson Drive.

Approximately $20 worth of gas was taken, and there was also dam-age to the lock of the gas cap.

“With the price of gas going up, we’re likely to see more of it,” stated Harrison.

Break and enter On Feb. 25, a break and enter

was reported on Donaldson Drive at 8:05 p.m.

RCMP believe the theft occurred overnight between Feb. 23 at 5 p.m. and Feb. 25 at 8 a.m.

Heated tile fl ooring and light fi x-tures were taken from the store.

“We believe there may have been a pickup truck with Dually tires, because there were tires tracks left behind in the snow,” Harrison said. “It may or may not be involved.”

❚ NEWS TIPS

Arabian-cross shot in chest, euthanized❚ HEALTH CARE

Grand Forks’ Boundary Hospital is one of 36 rural communities to receive fi nancial assistance of up to $200,000 from the Ministry of Health.

In July 2011, the province announced that $10 million would be available for rural communities across British Columbia.

Communities can receive up to $200,000 a year for rural, fee-for-service physicians who will ensure reliable public access to emergency services.

According to a press release, “The funding can be used to hire additional physicians, incen-tives for working on weekends, holidays or night shifts and health authority-approved equipment purchases.”

David Hurford, director of media relations and member services for BC Care Providers As-sociation (BCCPA), told The Gazette, “The fund-ing will defi nitely help. Certainly the funding will help seniors get assistance more quickly.”

BCCPA focuses on senior and health care in rural communities.

“(The funding) recognizes that rural commu-nities have some particular challenges with re-gards to health care,” Hurford said.

“A lot of people talk about two-tier health care as private-pay versus public, but I think the real two-tier health care is rural versus urban.

“There are a lot of inequities in rural commu-nities and I think the federal funding will be a step in the right direction to help close the gap.”

Physicians and the regional health author-ity will develop community-specifi c plans once funding is received.

Dr. Robert Sebastian, a general practitioner at Boundary Hospital, who helped with Grand Forks’ proposal, stated, “(The funding) is mainly focused on the recruitment and retention of new doctors.”

The funds are also aimed at maintaining med-ical emergency services and to keep it open 24/7, Sebastian pointed out.

“We’re looking for full-service general prac-titioners, in other words, doctors that will do everything, including offi ce and special skills and work the emergency ward,” he explained. “We’re hoping it will attract new and younger physicians and to keep our manpower at sustain-able hours.”

According to Sebastian, the funding started because, though it hasn’t been an issue in Grand Forks, there have been emergency departments that have been closed or the hours were cur-tailed.

“Princeton, Creston, Clearwater and Nakusp are four communities that come to mind right away; they’re just not able to fully staff the emer-gency department,” Sebastian said.

“Funding is always an issue in small towns.”There are 52 communities that are eligible to

apply.Trail’s Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital

and Oliver/Osoyoos’ South Okanagan General Hospital are two other communities that have received funding.

Question of the Week from www.grandforksgazette.ca

YES61%

NO38%

❚❚ Our View Our View

Today (Feb. 29) marks Pink Shirt Day, a day that focuses on anti-bullying and unity.

Whoever stated, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” didn’t live in a world where technol-ogy’s reach extended past the schoolyard.

The truth is, words hurt.Disparaging comments can

be thoughtlessly cruel over the Internet and social media but it doesn’t have to be.

I wrote this a while back for a class about racism and ste-reotypes. It applied then, and it applies now:

You see the upturned noses, turned heads and chins raised.

You notice how there’s an ex-tra distance between you and the passing stranger, even when the sidewalk barely fi ts two.

You can feel the person tuck-ing their coats closer, lifting their purses higher, pretending to be looking elsewhere, just not to

look at you. Eyes drift up and down, giv-

ing you the once over, then pass-ing you by as if you’re insignifi -cant, as if you’re nothing.

Hostility is the wall you look at, when glancing at another.

It’s a mask on their faces that scrunches up and contorts, from human to monster.

You ask a question and they reply in an antagonistic polite-ness.

You’d have preferred blunt rudeness, than faked kindness.

Your heart clenches, your breathing deepens, your strides become faster.

Your lips tighten, fi sts clench

and body rigid. Your back is straight and

shoulders held taut, your feet planted.

You want to ask them why they judge, ask them why they look on with disdain, and wonder why it hurts.

You look them in the eye and stare blankly, watch as their eyes harden, watch as they try not to step back – when it’s obvious that they want to.

You try not to fl inch, as cold words strike back; a constant bar-rage of stereotypical slangs and racist remarks.

Your head is held high as you walk forward. What else can you do but put up a mask of your own?

…To those who have bullied, switch spots for a second and think about how it would feel if that person was you.

To those who have been bul-lied, chin up; it gets better – not immediately, but it will get better.

CASSANDRA CHIN

❚ A Chin Up

OPINIONA4 www.grandforksgazette.ca Wednesday, February 29, 2012 Grand Forks Gazette

If you happen to see elementary and high school students wearing pink today (Wednesday, Feb. 29) it is because they and others are taking a stand against bullying.

Feb. 29 is Pink Shirt Day – a movement that start-ed when a student in Nova Scotia had been bullied for wearing pink and other students mobilized and wore pink in response.

Bullying has no place anywhere – school and otherwise – and much has been said about how some bullies have low self-esteem and are merely trying to feel good about themselves or how some are acting out of jealousy.

If you are a student being bullied, as hard as it may be to do, talk to someone about it. You might feel shame at fi rst but eventually you probably will feel a great sense of relief – it’s not good to keep things bottled up.

Above all things, never consider suicide as a num-ber of other bullying victims have – if you are being bullied for being “weak,” taking your own life will only prove the bully or bullies right.

If anything, realize that the bullies have issues of their own and let it thicken your skin so to speak – realize that while words can hurt, being able to brush aside insults will be an asset as you mature.

You might be feeling despair but know that you can get through this and go on to better things.

Actor Robert Pattinson of Twilight movie trilogy was bullied as a child and so was the man often re-ferred to as the Leader of the Free World, U.S. Presi-dent Barack Obama – both are doing pretty well for themselves.

Singer Christina Aguilera had her tires slashed after winning singing contests, reportedly because people resented her vocal talent, but she just sol-diered on pursuing her dream.

Prince Harry of Wales was bullied for having red hair, or being “ginger” as it is called.

Comedian Chris Rock was said to be the only African-American kid at school and was the victim of physical and racial abuse but has turned that nega-tive energy into his brand of biting standup comedy.

Learn to ignore what people say and realize your self-worth – what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.

Suicide not an option for bullying victims

LETTERS www.grandforksgazette.ca A5Grand Forks Gazette Wednesday, February 29, 2012

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Area C has been communicating with the lakeshore tax payers of Christina Lake for the past two years.

We have been asking if they are in support of developing our own Riparian Area Regulation in order to further protect Christina Lake.

We have hosted numerous public meetings, small gath-erings, discussion through email and the Water Front Prop-erty Owners Society.

A few facts fi rst:This idea was NOT presented by the Christina Lake 1. Stewardship Society, it was initiated by the APC Be-cause at that time the province was presenting a Pro-vincial Riparian Regulation that was not at all com-munity friendlyThis idea was NOT driven by David Durand so he 2. and his green house could make more money. Da-vid is the chair of the advisory planning commission (APC) and he was working on this, along with your regional director so that we could share information and gauge public interest. Why were we so interested in the opinion of the lake 3. shore owners? Because they are the ones that would need to buy into this act. If they didn’t, we would be introducing something that would not be respected or adhered to. What feedback did we ultimately get? An over-4. whelming no. Some are very interested in the in-formation however; they would rather be part of an education program, whereby property owners vol-untarily provided riparian protection on their prop-erty. And some just plain were not interested at all.What are our next steps? We will abandon the Ri-5. parian Act Regulation, however we will be happy to work with the Lake Shore Property Owners So-ciety to provide education. We will also be asking for pictures from those who did protect the ripar-ian area of their property and we will be featuring those in the Christina Lake News on a regular basis as kudos to those property owners, and as an example to those who are interested in the protection of their lake shore.Many of the comments around the health of the lake 6. pointed to septic systems that have not been up-graded.

Once again, I have had numerous dialogues with the province on this provincial issue. Please if you think this is a problem in your area contact:

Mike Sokal, environmental water quality at [email protected]. Health and Recreational Water Quality’s Cheryle Unger can be contacted at [email protected].

Lisa Tedesco is a good start point for forwarding con-cerns pertaining to Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Lands Forest and Natural Resources and Department of Fisheries and water quality concerns can be sent to [email protected].

Also feel free to suggest that these people use the dye tablets available from the Christina Lake Stewardship to test their system.

GETTING SERIOUS ABOUT DRINKING WATER IN THE BOUNDARY

Presentations by

Bruce Davidson of Walkerton, Ontario and Al Grant of Rock Creek, B.C.

Wednesday, March 147:00 p.m. – Grand Forks Secondary School Auditorium

Can you imagine your source of clean drinking water becoming contaminated?

The residents of Walkerton, Ontario didn’t have to imagine.They learned in May, 2000 that their water contained E-coli.

It wasn’t imaginary. Several people died.

NEWS❚ REGIONAL DISTRICT

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Area D held its annual town meeting to discuss this year’s proposed budget, the fi ve-year fi nancial plan and how the RDKB operates.

Held on Feb. 27 at the Seniors’ Centre at City Park, resi-dents of Area D (rural Grand Forks) and interested parties were in attendance.

Introduced by Area D Director Irene Perepolkin, the town hall meeting was led by John MacLean, RDKB chief administrative offi cer.

The current budget fi gures are only proposed and will be determined at the end of March.

For recreation program services, the 2011 actual budget used was $365,266 with $365,266 spent. The 2012 budget is targeted at $432,674.

The Boundary Museum service has been kept at a steady $30,000, while the Grand Forks Arena may see an increase in its budget from $540,788 to $647,890.

The Grand Forks curling rink may also see a slight increase in funds from $35,529 to $40,869, as might the Boundary’s animal control from $110,862 to $117,874.

On the other hand, the Grand Forks Aquatic Center may see a decrease in funding from $740,611 to $718,902.

Mosquito control for Area D and Grand Forks might go from $159,402 to $100,768.

In terms of noxious weed control in Areas D and E, the budget may decrease from $199,385 to $191,616.

The regional library service may also see an increase in funding, from $293,233 in 2011 to $355,331 in 2012.

In terms of the Boundary area’s transit service, there is expected to be an increase in funds from $57,544 to $70,020. In 2011, Area D’s grant-in-aid spent $42,781 to-

wards groups and organizations. The projected budget for 2012 is $53,140.

In the fi ve-year fi nance plan, MacLean noted the most important year is the fi rst year because the remaining four are likely to change as the year progresses.

If there is a defi cit in a service, for instance, the fi rst thing that must be done the following year is to pay back the defi cit, he stated. If there is a surplus, there are several options.

“The default position is that it goes into the following year’s revenue. So if we had a $10,000 surplus in 2011, we put $10,000 in 2012 as revenue and it reduces taxa-tion,” explained MacLean. “Or, alternatively, the board has the opportunity to take those monies and put it into a reserve.”

This year the animal control contract with Good Gov-ernance Solutions will be taken into consideration as the contract is soon to expire.

The RDKB will also be rewriting the animal control bylaw, which is considered dated, to include different as-pects like barking.

“The primary concern was barking, and we are look-ing into it,” stated MacLean.

The City of Grand Forks is covered under the RDKB bylaw, though there were complaints to have a separate bylaw for the city.

Residents also brought up issues with local trails and its maintenance.

Currently, projects that the RDKB is working on include the Woodstove Exchange Program, the Kettle/ Granby River Study, Food Scrap Recycling Program, branding, signage (which is found along the highway indicating what region you are in) and the regional chamber.

Area C’s meeting is scheduled for Christina Lake to-night, Feb. 29, at the community hall at 6:30 p.m.

COMMUNITY❚ DEER

Boundary-area hunters are dissatisfi ed with provincial management of the local deer herd.

Local hunters gathered at the Senior’s Centre at City Park on Feb. 23 to discuss concerns about the dwindling popula-tions and though many expressed their own opinions about why the deer are disappearing, they all agreed that the B.C. government was doing a poor job at managing the deer popu-lation.

Once considered one of the best mule and whitetail deer areas in the province by BC Wildlife, the Boundary region has seen a decline in deer numbers.

“We’re hoping to get a group reaction and some awareness about the situation,” stated Barry Brandow Sr. who organized the meeting.

“If you’ve been living here any length of time, you’ll know that it’s not true that we have a large number of deer.”

Brandow Sr. pointed out that Washington State had nine days of open rifl e for mule deer.

“We have two months,” he said. “What it comes down to is, we’re trying to keep the mule deer and whitetail deer alive. Every year the highway kill as a percentage gets higher.”

On a two-week hunting trip, local Darwin Benson saw four mule deer.

“No elk, no whitetails, but we’re all wondering what is the cause of it,” exclaimed Benson.

“In this area, the whitetail deer just aren’t here. The mule deer, maybe if you go up high enough you’ll see some. I don’t know what to say – do we shut this area down for a year or two and not hunt at all? I don’t think that’s the right answer, but we do need to get the government to get in on it.”

A majority of the hunters who attended the meeting agreed that the number of deer population is alarmingly low and that new management changes must be done.

The hunters are currently gathering signatures for a peti-tion before presenting it to the government.

Brian Hancock, president of the Grand Forks Wildlife As-sociation, pointed out no matter the reason, everyone was here at the meeting for the deer.

“I think hunting is defi nitely a factor, I think road access is a factor, I think forest in-growth, forest encroachment, fi res, habitat, vehicular collisions – I wrote down about 30 issues, but we’re all here for the same reason,” he said.

“The Ministry and BC Wildlife Federation are convinced that as long as your buck and doe ratios are healthy, you can keep hunting during open season. So when they do the count, basically what they’re saying is, as long as there are 100 does and you have more than 20 bucks, that’s a healthy population. If you have 20 does left and fi ve bucks, you can still have an

open season. Is that the only problem, I don’t think so, but it’s a part of

it.”In a 1968 Wildlife Management Publication, “The Bound-

ary Deer Herd” by Okanagan and Boundary Region wildlife biologist D. J. Spalding, he wrote, “There is one fact that is virtually incontrovertible; the relative few hunters during the early decades of this century were more successful in bagging large adult buck deer.”

Nearly 40 years later, Brandow Sr. agreed. “Ten years ago you could get one of the biggest bucks you

could in this valley, now you get little buggers,” he recalled. “You will not fi nd a white tail buck season as we have on this province, within any jurisdiction on the continent with our winters, our highways and our predators.”

The current hunting season is 111 days long for whitetail deer, depending on whether one hunts with a bow, rifl e or shotgun. The season begins in September.

In a recent deer head count, Barry Brandow Jr., a guide out-fi tter in the region, attended the count with ministry offi cials.

“Instead of just counting the Gilpin, they wanted to add the North Fork area,” he said. “The biologist at the time hoped to count 300 to 400 deer.”

After a three-hour helicopter fl ight and low fuel, Brandow Jr. stated they cancelled the trip.

The total deer count was 29.

Reminiscencesby Barb Bleiler

Laura LodderofAs I sit and gaze out Laura Lodder’s front win-

dow, I am taken by the serenity of the surround-ing countryside that is really a potato fi eld under snow.

As I ask questions about her life and family, Lod-der’s sparkling blue eyes begin to twinkle as she walks me down memory lane, and starts to tell me about Grand Forks when she was a child growing up here, steeped with her family’s history.

The oldest daughter of parents who emigrated from Italy, Lodder was born in Trail, to Andrea and Marianna D’Andrea.

The family was part of the large Italian community that had fl our-ished, and they spent the early part of her childhood there until relocating to Grand Forks to farm.

Andrea D’Andrea, Laura’s fa-ther, had worked in the Trail smelt-er, and decided to stop working at the smelter for health reasons and relocated his family to Grand Forks in the hopes of a healthier and more prosperous life.

The way to get from Trail to Grand Forks at that time was by driving over the Santa Rosa Sum-mit or by train.

Her family purchased the old Wiley A. Glover property in 1944 up North Fork Road, and had milk cows, which they used to make cheese and butter. Later, milk was shipped by train to Trail to United Dairies.

There was so much hard, physical work to get a farm to a productive state and Lodder says the farm became as pretty as a storybook with her father’s patient attention until his passing.

Lodder comes from a long line of farmers and has much to share about our city and the way things were way back when.

Over the years, Lodder’s family has earned many accolades and awards, but one is still promi-nently displayed in the family kitchen where she and husband Tony (a long-time Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Area D director) raised their four children.

It is an award to Lodder’s husband for Grand Forks’ Best Farm in 1955.

Lodder’s son and her daughter-in-law

continue to farm on Laura and Tony’s farm on Lodder Road.

She reminisces about the fall fair and the way the community helped each other to be successful and prosperous.

There was no community hall then, and events were often held at facilities like the schools, legion, and the Christina Lake Hall.

I ask her what she remembers about her early school days and she grins. Lodder can remember all her teachers’ names, and re-lates about life up the North Fork and the small one-room school (Grades 1 to 8) the children of the North Fork attended.

The school is now a commu-nity hall but the area prompts many memories.

There was no running water, electricity or phones, but life was good and people were self-suffi cient.

She tells me about the danc-es that were held at the Brown Creek School and how young and old alike would gather.

Admission was a donation of some baked goods, food or

a “cover charge” of 75 cents for men, 50 cents for women.

Girls were allowed time from school to make the sandwiches that were to be served and much of the town would show up for an evening of fun, with the ladies often bringing a cake or such for admis-sion adding to the feast.

The older crowd even journeyed to Christina Lake and other nearby communities to dance and socialize.

There were Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve dances that were held at the high school.

We are fortunate as a community to have our town “pioneers” as living resources that are willing to share their stories and wisdom and remind us of harder, yet simpler times.

We can get all the documents, statistics and such in the lower level of city hall, where our commu-nity archives are held in care of the Boundary Mu-seum Society, or from our government pertaining to events and properties, but it is in the telling of the stories from the actual people that will be what

future generations look for when wanting to know what it was like to “live back then.”

The spirit of community lives on today because of the examples set in earlier times and the drive to continue on with such things as our annual fall fair and theatre events have continued onto the next generation.

If you are fortunate enough to know or meet someone who is a pioneer, I encourage you to set awhile, ask some questions, and pay close attention to the stories.

Not only will you be grateful for modern conveniences but also you will have a small trea-sure of knowledge given to you by someone who actually lived it and I guarantee, you’ll learn some-thing you didn’t know before.

COMMUNITY❚ HOUSING

As concerns grow about shrink-ing natural and fi nancial resources, homeowners are beginning to look for ways to provide comfortable and sustainable housing in a posi-tive social context.

While some move into walled, urban communities or highrise con-dominiums, others are opting for an alternative known as cohousing. Cohousing neighbourhoods com-bine the autonomy of private dwell-ings with the advantages of shared resources and community living.

On Saturday, March 3, at 6:30 p.m. at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Stuart McKinnon and Wolf Willow from the Middle Road Co-housing Community in Nelson will be speaking about the characteris-tics and advantages of cohousing and answering questions.

Cohousing communities employ effi cient, environmentally sensitive use of land and residences that are space and energy effi cient.

Residents take part in the overall planning of the community and co-operate in the development of the shared spaces. Those spaces may consist of gardens, open green ar-eas, play areas for children, or may be community buildings containing meeting areas, workshops, kitchens, arts and crafts areas, or whatever else the community might decide.

According to organizer Peter Matheson, the concept of cohous-ing suits the Grand Forks area very well.

“It’s defi nitely related to the smart growth principals that the city has put forward in its sustain-ability plan,” Matheson said. “The city has a carbon reduction agree-ment that encourages greater den-sity. Plus from the point of view of the homeowner, cohousing is both more cost effective and greener than neighbourhoods proposed by typical developers.” Matheson adds that the concept also suits alterna-tive or at least sustainable construc-tion methods that take into account the life cycle cost of materials.

❚ WRITING

Local Leslie Davidson was listed as a fi nal-ist in this year’s Short Prose Competition for Developing Writers.

In it’s 19th year, the Writers’ Union of Cana-da’s contest chooses the best story under 2,500 words, and aims to discover and promote new writers.

A retired kindergarten teacher, Davidson’s Psalm for an Only Daughter was rewritten from her original story Hearts Journey.

“I had a piece that I had written for the Boundary Coalition’s fundraiser,“ she ex-plained. “I had done some writing for them before and they were looking for a story that a male narrator could read in bits and pieces during the show, so it was on and off during the show and it was divided into three sec-tions.”

The story, though narrated by a man, was broken into three parts: hair-raising, heart-break and healing.

“The germ of the story came out of a con-versation with a group of men when we were talking about a fundraising project,” Davidson said. “I’m very grateful for the input I got. So I pulled out that story again when I read the contest rules and added some poetry to it.”

One morning Davidson woke up to write a stronger ending and once she tweaked her story, she sent it in.

Several months later, to the point where she almost forget she submitted it, she received the news she was a fi nalist.

“The phone call came and I was thrilled, saying, ‘I really can’t believe it,’” she said. “There’s a long timeline with these contests and competitions, and I had sent it out months and months ago.”

It was a welcome surprise to say the least.“I’ve always written; it was my favourite

thing to do at school but I also loved being a teacher and being a mom,” she explained. “I found those all-consuming so it was some-thing I looked forward to doing when I retired so I sat down to seriously do it.”

Davidson focuses on non-fi ction but her main focus is writing for children.

“I taught Kindergarten for a million years and read a million children stories and I love them,” she stated.

“I have done a children’s novel and it’s come back to me with some encouraging comments but certainly no offer to publish.”

Her advice to upcoming writers, “Write what you want to write. Write for the joy, the pleasures, and the satisfaction of constructing. You do this for you, not for other people.”

COMMUNITY❚ FILMS AND DOCUMENTARIES

Occupy Love and The Revolution is LoveThe 2012 Traveling World Community Film Festival in

Grand Forks began with a fi ve-minute hors d’oeuvre that was Occupy Love by fi lmmaker Velcrow Ripper.

Featuring spoken word artist Drew Dellinger’s dialogue amidst Occupy video footage from south of the border, the fi lm could’ve benefi tted if it delved more into the movement.

The Occupy movement, protesting the one percent of the population that holds the world’s wealth amongst other things, was one that swept the globe and fi ve minutes doesn’t do it justice – it is a complex issue.

What were the various protestors representing? What were the opinions of the police offi cers that moved in on the protes-tors? A little more meat would’ve been benefi cial.

As an added bonus, organizers also showed Charles Ein-stein’s The Revolution is Love, which was directed by Ian MacK-enzie and produced by Ripper and MacKenzie.

The Revolution is Love gave more insight into Occupy, which I was so desperately craving from Occupy Love but still fell short of what I was ultimately craving.

I wanted to know more, the full meal deal if you will.– Karl Yu

RainforestFilmed out of Vancouver Island and directed by Richard

Boyce, Rainforest looks at the damage clear-cutting and har-vesting of timber has done to once pristine forests.

Boyce, inspired by his ties with a Kwaxkwaka’wakw elder, embarks on a journey that reveals his time as a protester and the ancient forests on the island.

Throughout the documentary, there were vivid images of clear-cut forests and decimated areas. While the images are startling enough, if not new, the moments were broken by complete silence.

There was no audio, including nature’s own call, and it seemed almost awkward to me.

I think I would have preferred if they increased the noise of static to point out the damaging effects of nature, instead of keeping it muted the entire time. Overall, a different look on forestry and clear-cutting, stunning images, but the news is old.

– Cassandra ChinConsuming Kids: The Commercialization of ChildhoodThe fi lm was alarmingly sad, but not much of a shocker. Directed by Adriana Barbaro and Jeremy Earp, Consuming

Kids; the Commercialization of Childhood focuses on how chil-dren have become the target for branding and marketing.

From junk food to video games, to fi gurines and parapher-nalia, the multi-billion dollar marketing world aims to drive children to thinking more is better.

Rather than instilling values and morals, the documentary sheds light on the disturbing fact that even Baby Einstein isn’t that great for children.

It’s defi nitely a must see, and I would also recommend youth to watch it too.

– CC

Play AgainTeenagers glued to screens, whether it was computer

games, their cell phones or the television, were upended from their sedentary lives and placed into an outdoor camp.

It revealed teenagers, from 12 to 16 years old, who were previously hooked to their screens were able to enjoy the out-doors and play time when showed how to.

It’s disturbing how much time children and youth spend enthralled by the screen when there are many options that can be indulged in outside of the screen.

Directed by Tonje Hessen Schei, the fi lm reveals how the screen is as much a drug as mushrooms, with the youth en-tering the early stages of withdrawal within days, and some-times hours, of not being near one.

A sad fact, but clearly something, even an outdoors wilder-ness camp, can be done to change the addiction.

– CCHappy

By far my favourite, Happy, directed by Roko Belic, looks at various people around the world who are faced with different circumstances, but are ultimately happy.

Optimistic, uplifting and a breath of fresh air, the docu-mentary looks at the upsides of being happy and “positive psychology.”

After several documentaries looking at the engagement of technology and consumerism and the destruction of the envi-ronment, it was defi nitely a documentary that tugged at ones heart strings.

From the slums of India to the bayous of Louisiana, happiness is something found, not in the amount of money one has or by one’s appearance, but by acceptance and values one holds dear.

Documentaries are usually hit or miss for me, and this is one that I’d have no trouble watching again.

❚ BUSINESS BEAT

Snowball Ventures strikes gold

What started as a small venture over 15 years ago has turned into a successful business recognized around the Koo-tenay.

Snowball Ventures has received the Gold award for Fire-place/Wood Stove Dealer and a Bronze award for Furnace Sales & Service from the Kootenay Business Magazine’s 2011 Best of Business awards.

The awards are given to recipients based of reader surveys in the Kootenay Business Magazine.

President and owner John Billwiller began the business af-ter fi rst installing his own pellet furnace into his home.

“You couldn’t buy decent pellets anywhere in the area,” explained Billwiller. “I had to travel to Nelson to get pellets. So when I had the opportunity to sell pellets, I did so and it snowballed from there.”

Snowball Ventures, named thusly because Billwiller lives near the Snowball Creek area, located north of Grand Forks, sells wood stoves, wood stove inserts and furnaces.

Pellet stoves differ from regular stoves because it uses com-pressed sawdust about the size of a pen and around an inch long.

The pellets are then fed into a burned pot at a regulated rate. Inside there is forced air compression and a fan that in-creases the combustion.

“It is far more effi cient than wood and a lot more conve-nient,” he pointed out.

Billwiller is also a part of the Woodstove Exchange Pro-gram, which is focused on exchanging older furnaces with more heat and carbon effi cient models.

“Every year a few people take advantage of (the program),” he said. “It’s also pellet stoves and other forms of heating that are replacing ineffi cient wood heat.”

“It’s always a surprise because I’m just a little guy out in the bush, north of Grand Forks,” he recalled. “Platinum was given to Kootenay Wood Stove, and they’re much bigger than I am.”

Billwiller added, “I’d like to thank everybody who voted for me over the year.”

Brain ArchitectureThe basic architecture of the human brain is constructed through an ongoing process that begins before birth and continues into adulthood. Like the construction of a home, the building process begins with laying the foundation, framing the rooms and wiring the electrical system in a predictable sequence. Early experiences literally shape how the brain gets built; a strong foundation in the early years increases the probability of positive outcomes. A weak foundation increases the odds of later diffi culties.

❚ BEE GENOME

Locals help with Bee Genome

Grand Forks residents Terry and Elizabeth Huxter are pre-paring to study honey bees, their various traits and how to save them from diseases.

Working alongside Genome BC and Genome Canada with the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, the Huxters are focusing on how to make bees more self-suffi -cient.

In the past several years, there has been news that bee colo-nies across North America are facing collapse due to wide-spread diseases.

The aim of the project is to help the bees look after them-selves with fewer treatments, which is done through breed-ing.

“To do that with breeding, we look at certain traits and in order to defi ne those traits, presently, the best and only way is from fi eld testing,” explained Elizabeth Huxter. “This project is going to attempt to make this a lot easier for beekeepers, by making what’s called marker-assist selection.”

Marker-assist selection is done through identifying traits from proteins taken from bee samples.

One way to identify hives that do a certain thing is by com-paring bee samples or different parts of a bee to determine if there is some clue chemically that is contrasting.

“As an example, a pregnancy test,” stated Huxter. “If you’re pregnant or not, you can tell with the drug store test. That’s what they’re hoping to do for bee breeders.”

An example of a test is how they determine whether bees like to clean things out a brood.

“We have a test where we freeze a small circle of brood (a patch of about 70 cells) and the next day we go in and see how fast they’ve opened up the cells and cleaned out the dead bees, the little pupae. So that’s our task for hygienic bee breeds,” she said.

Huxter noted the project is looking to fi nd markers to help with breeding, which is the part she is involved with.

There are three parts to the project: the marking, an eco-nomic analysis, and an integrated path management (IPM) that determines which pathogens are the worst.

“There are fi ve to six diseases commonly found in bees so we’re going to look at those and determine which ones are the worst and which combinations are the worst,” she said. “Bees have a lot of problems, just like we do. They have viruses, bugs, fungus, bacteria and mites as well.”

Huxter usually works from Grand Forks and during the summer, people from UBC visit and help her take samples. Huxter also receives help from locals.

Along with aiding UBC’s academic endeavours, Huxter stated she and Terry have their own breeding program.

“That program isn’t just around specifi c traits but around self-suffi ciency by bees,” she explained. “So we run some yards where bees are not treated at all and then we breed from the survivors.”

The Huxter’s method is known as survivor-ship breeding, which is similar to IPM but allows nature to do its own thing.

“I think that’s a nice holistic approach, with a similar ap-proach to the Genome BC project, but just a different avenue to go about it,” she said. “So we have these two ways we go about trying to reach our goals. One is more academic while the other is more holistic approach.”

V-Day Grand Forks 2012 presents a benefi t reading of A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and a Prayer: Writings To Stop Violence Against Women and Girls.

Join us as we raise funds and awareness to end vio-lence against women and girls on Friday, March 16 and Saturday, March 17 at Studio B (7330 2nd Street) at 7:30 p.m.

A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer: Writings To Stop Violence Against Women and Girls, is a ground-breaking collection of monologues by world-renowned authors and playwrights, edited by Eve Ensler (author of The Vagina Monologues) and Mollie Doyle.

The writings are inspired, funny, angry, heartfelt,

tragic and beautiful. But together, they create a true and profound portrait of how violence against women affects every one of us.

A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant, And A Prayer are a call to the world to demand an end to violence against women.

V-Day is a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls that raises funds and aware-ness through benefi t productions of playwright/founder Ensler’s award-winning play The Vagina Monologues and other artistic works.

In 2011, over 5,800 V-Day benefi t events took place pro-duced by volunteer activists around the world.

To date, the V-Day movement has raised over $85 mil-lion and educated millions about the issue of violence

against women and the efforts to end it, crafted interna-tional educational media and public service announce-ment campaigns, launched the Karama program in the Middle East, re-opened shelters and funded over 13,000 community-based anti-violence programs and safe hous-es in Democratic Republic Of Congo, Haiti, Kenya, South Dakota, Egypt and Iraq.

In 2001, V-Day was named one of Worth Magazine’s 100 Best Charities in 2006, one of Marie Claire Magazine’s Top-10 charities and in 2010, was named as one of the top-rated organizations on Great Nonprofi ts.

I threw on my toque, wrapped a scarf around my neck, g r a b b e d some gloves and the dog and out the

door we went. After two days of hiding in the house, laying

on the couch I needed fresh air. The head cold season had got me and got me

good, ugh! It’s hard enough having a cold but gee winter did you have to bring such a dread-ful one?

Seems like everyone has had some form of cold or fl u and this one hangs on – not nice.

It sure felt good to get out today, the breeze was a little chilly but the sun was shining and I met several others braving the cold and enjoying the day.

The dog was thrilled too, guess he was tired of hearing me wheeze and sneeze.

The hard part about being that sick is not wanting to eat, especially since I couldn’t really smell anything. Toast and tea for breakfast and a sinus pill – yum.

Maybe if I put a pot of soup on and let it sim-mer, I can cover lunch and dinner.

Yeah, a big pot of soup that at least sounds ap-pealing.

Check the cupboards to make sure I have enough of everything, – thank goodness with soup you can wing it – just remember lots of gar-lic for the cold season!

A batch of fresh warm biscuits and I will feel like I accomplished a lot today all things con-sidered. Soup warms us up and is good for the soul.

Mushroom, celery and garlic soup– 3 cups chopped mushrooms– 4 celery sticks chopped – 3 garlic cloves– 3 table white wine – 32/3 cup chicken stock – 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce – salt and pepper– celery leaves for garnish

Place mushrooms, celery and garlic in pan and stir in wine.

Cover and cook over a low heat 30 to 40 min-utes, until tender.

Add half the stock and puree in a food proces-sor or blender until smooth.

Return to pan and add the remaining stock and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, season and serve with celery leaves.

Chicken-cheese chowderUse up leftover chicken or turkey from the

freezer and whip up a pot of this chowder.– 4 slices bacon – ¼ cup chopped onion– 2 tbsp green pepper chopped – 2 cups milk– 1 can cream of chicken soup– 1 cup diced cooked chicken – 2 tbsp chopped canned pimiento (small, sweet red peppers; optional) – 1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese – dash salt, dash paprika

Cook bacon till crisp, drain and crumble. Use two tablespoon drippings in saucepan

and add onion and green pepper; cook till ten-der. Add milk, soup, chicken, pimiento, salt and half the bacon.

Heat through, add cheese; stir to melt. To serve garnish with remaining bacon and paprika.

Cheese biscuit triangles– 2 cups fl our – 3 tsp baking powder– ½ tsp salt– ½ tsp dried oregano-divided– ½ tsp dried basil-divided– 2 egg whites– 1 egg, 1 cup crumbled feta cheese– ½ cup reduced fat ricotta cheese– 1/3 cup one per cent buttermilk– ¼ cup reduced fat sour cream

In a bowl combine the fl our, baking powder, salt ¼ tsp oregano and ¼ tsp basil. Set one egg white aside.

In a bowl, combine the egg, cheeses, but-termilk, sour cream and remaining egg white; mix well. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened.

On a lightly fl oured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch x nine-inch rectangle.

Cut into twelve three-inch squares; cut each diagonally in half.

Place triangles on baking sheets coated with nonstick cooking spray, beat reserved egg white, brush over tops. Sprinkle with remaining oreg-ano and basil.

Bake at 425 F (218 C) for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

COMMUNITYSt. Patrick’s Day leads to memories of grandma

I was thinking about taking a walk back through my younger years.

Just as many teachers now include crafts as part of their curriculum, my teachers did as well.

Most of those crafts were related to holidays or events and I thought it would be fun to revisit one of those projects.

I must say that I have a tendency to change things to make them my own, so I have modifi ed this

project to suit my style. The project I chose was a shamrock bookmark in honour of upcoming St. Patrick’s

Day. I have changed it from cutting out a bright green shamrock with a paper stem, to this.

1. Cut out a three-inch (7.62-cm) circle from an olive green (or green) card stock.2. Fold the circle in half.3. Fold in half again.4. In half one more time5. From the folded side, trim to the shape of half a heart.6. Unfold7. Trim one of the heart-shaped sections as shown and punch a small hole at the

base of the shamrock.8. Cut a chenille stem (in a matching color) in half and make a 45-degree small

bend at the top.9. Insert the small bended end through shamrock from front to back and squeeze

fl at. I rubbed some fi ne grit sandpaper on all the folds to give it a rustic look.I hope this project reminds you of some of the projects that you may have made in

school, Sunday school or maybe at grammy’s house. My grandma was a huge infl uence on my crafting growing up. She was blind and

thus there were challenges with her teaching me but we muddled through. I remember when it was time to clear out her house, there were little projects all over, from a maca-roni covered can sprayed gold to crocheted hot mats that I made with her. She had even kept all the cards my brother and I had made as well as the ashtray my brother had made my grandpa out of salt dough. Oh the memories that have come fl ooding into my heart. Grandma, I miss you.

Battle bullying on Pink Shirt Day

February 29

Be proud to be pink: support anti-bullying

Staff at The Gazette are wearing pink shirts this year for Pink Shirt Day in support of anti-bullying. Pictured are (back row, L-R) Delphine (classifi eds), Jackie (publisher), Barb (advertising), (front row, L-R) Karl (editor), Elizabeth (production), Cassandra (reporter) and Chris (advertising).

It started in September 2007, when two teens at a Nova Scotia high school stood up for a younger student.

David Shepherd and Travis Price, both in Grade 12, heard about a Grade 9 stu-dent at their school who had been bullied and threatened for wearing a pink polo shirt on his fi rst day of school.

They decided they should do something about it and went to a discount store, where they bought 50 pink shirts and tank tops to wear to school the next day. They also went online to round up support for their anti-bullying cause, which they dubbed a “sea of pink.”

It worked. The next day, dozens of students were outfi tted with the discount shirts, but even better – hundreds of stu-dents showed up wearing their own pink clothes, some from head to toe.

The bullies were reportedly never heard from again.

This year, Feb. 29 is Pink Shirt Day in B.C. and other parts of Canada, an annual anti-bullying event that started after the now-famous 2007 “sea of pink” campaign.

The need for awareness and action against bullying remains as strong as ever, say those involved in the pink event, including local radio station CKNW, Black Press, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver, and London Drugs, where people can buy the offi cial ‘Bullying Stops Here’ pink shirts for 2012.

“Awareness of what bullying is and un-derstanding that it hurts is important,” says Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver president and CEO Carolyn Tuckwell.

“It isn’t just a rite of passage. It doesn’t

have to happen. And it’s relevant to every-one, whether in school, after school or in the workplace.”

According to www.bullyingcanada.ca, as many as 25 per cent of children in Grades 4 to 6 have been bullied and

approximately one in 10 children have bullied others, while a 2004 study pub-lished in the Medical Journal of Pediatrics found that about one in seven Canadian children aged 11 to 16 are victims of bul-lying.

It is important to recognize what bully-ing is, and that it happens in many forms – verbally, socially, physically and online (cyber bullying), says Tuckwell.

“By wearing pink, people show they’re making that commitment, to not let bul-lying happen,” she says.

In 2009, 20,000 pink shirts were sold and in 2010, 30,000 helped the effort. Last year, 46,000 T-Shirts were sold and this year we hope to sell 60,000.

Tuckwell and others emphasize that the pink shirt is secondary to raising awareness about bullying and getting people involved.

B.C. is no stranger to tragedy related

to bullying.From Surrey’s 14-year-old Hamed Nastoh, who jumped off the Patullo Bridge and killed himself after leaving a note behind blaming the con-stant bullying he endured at school, to Mission’s Dawn-Marie Wesley, 14, who committed suicide by hanging herself after relentless bullying, there are count-less told and untold stories that remain horrifi c.

The provincial government has taken steps to address bullying in recent years, including a Ministry of Education resource brochure for parents in 14 lan-guages that can be found online at www.bced.gov.bc.ca/sco.

Net proceeds benefi t the CKNW Orphans’ Fund in support of the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Coast BC. Boys & Girls Clubs of South Coast BC: BGC pro-grams foster self-esteem, social engage-ment, academic success, inclusion, ac-ceptance, respect for self and others, and connection to community – all of which are key elements of bullying prevention. CKNW Orphans’ Fund: The CKNW Or-phans’ Fund is committed to enhancing the lives of children with physical, mental and social challenges living in BC com-munities. The fund includes children who are bullied under the scope of the funds work, because these children will need extra support for their development.

SPORTS

❚ REC REPORT

Triathlon training for the whole family

Spring is not far off now, the sun is warming and the snow is melting on our local fi elds.

Soon the kids will be back on their bikes and riding the streets, skateboarding in the park, kicking the soccer ball and hitting the baseball around.

If you are interested in getting your child in-volved in soccer, go to the website www.bound-aryyouthsoccer.com for information about reg-istration and structure of the local youth soccer organization.

***Babe Ruth baseball will be set up for registra-

tion at the aquatic centre pool lobby on Saturday, March 10 from 1 to 5 p.m. For more information contact Peter at 250-442-3510.

***Triathlons can be a lot of fun and it gives you

an opportunity to cross train for swimming, bik-ing and running, making your fi tness training a little more exciting.

There are things to consider before you start your triathlon training program.

Stop by the aquatic centre and pick up a pool schedule for the best times for lap swims. Check over your bike and make sure it is in good work-ing order, (working brakes, good tires etc.). Take it to a bike shop and get a tune up before you get started.

Make a trip to a sports store and have an as-sessment done so you are purchasing the proper shoes for your gait. This can reduce the risk of injury.

You are now ready to start your training. Come into the recreation offi ce and ask for advice on training programs or go online and choose a program that works for you. Set your goal and be ready to complete the 2012 Pharmasave Christina Lake Triathlon scheduled for Sunday, June 24.

Make it a family affair and register the entire family. Kids between the ages of seven and 12 can participate in the Kids Sprint event.

They must complete a 100-m swim, six-km bike ride and a two-km run. We will be offering a

training program for kids starting in May, which will include four swim sessions, four bike train-ing sessions and four run sessions. Give us a call for more details on the training program or to register.

***Spring break is full of fun things to do here

at Grand Forks Recreation (GFREC). Red Cross spring break swim lessons are scheduled the week of March 26 to 30 – receive your next badge in just one week.

If you are 13 years of age, you are eligible to join the spring break leadership camp. GFREC has combined the Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross courses so you can achieve both awards in just one week.

These awards are the prerequisite for the Na-tional Lifeguard Service award.

If you are interested in teaching swim lessons this summer or gaining the experience to work at an aquatic centre, you will need to start your training by registering for the Assistant Water Safety Instructor course.

This course is a one-week course that teaches the proper skills needed to teach children how to swim.

The course is scheduled during the fi rst week of spring break, March 19 to 23. Deadline to reg-ister is March 12 so call us today to get on the list.

***Ladies, GFREC is offering you an opportunity

to come in and pamper yourself during our la-dies night at the pool on Friday, March 2.

Relax in the hot tub, sauna and pool or check out the displays in the lobby sponsored by Trust in Nature, Jazzercise, Curves for Women, The Nutrition Stop and Pharmasave. This event has also been sponsored by GFREC, Promotions Plus, 2010 Legacy Now, the provincial and fed-eral governments and British Columbia Parks and Recreation.

For information on triathlon training, give us a call at 250-442-2202 or email us at [email protected].

You can also visit our website at www.rdkb.com to view the March fl yer.

SPORTS❚ FIGHT AGAINST CANCER

Those attending basketball tournaments at Grand Forks Secondary School the past few weeks may have noticed the referees were using pink whistles.

This had nothing to do with Pink Shirt Day (protesting anti-bullying) but referees were sup-porting a cause just as noble – the fi ght against cancer.

David Brewer, president and allocator of the West Kootenay Basketball Offi cials Association, said that the provincial (offi cials) body began the initiative three years ago in honour of refs who had passed away due to cancer.

“There was the suggestion of wearing pink whistles, a number of other sports had gone to pink to demonstrate their support for the fi ght against cancer or breast cancer and it has grown from there,” Brewer said.

While the West Kootenay association didn’t participate in the pink whistles the fi rst year (2009), the executive met the next year, talked to all the members and decided to purchase 15 whistles (for the 15 members) and give it out of the association funds.

“This year what the provincial body did was everybody was given a quota and then asked to pay. Over and above that, each offi cial has been asked to donate a game fee and that could range anywhere from $25 to $40, depending on what they decide to do and it’s all in support of the fi ght against cancer,” explained Brewer.

“Our goal provincially, is to raise about $15,000

this year.” Brewer said that the fi rst year, offi cials only used whistles for one week in February, last year they were used for two weeks and this year, pink whistles were used by refs for the entire month of February.

“There was probably a little more exposure because of the playoff games that go on towards the end of February and the fans too are encour-aged to go to (www.bcboa.ca) and if they want to, there is a place for them to link in to and donate to the cause as well,” Brewer went on to say.

❚ CURLING

From March 1 to 4, 16 Mas-ters (ages 60+) curling teams (eight men and eight women) are in Grand Forks, B.C., to compete in the Provincial Mas-ters Championship.

These teams come from all over the province – with the exception of the Peace region – and represent curling clubs in their zones, from as far away as Comox, Quesnel and Creston in addition to numerous other towns and cities in between.

The Men’s and Women’s Champions from this provin-cial playdown will represent B.C. on the national stage later this month in Montreal, Que.

Just to get to the provincial championships, all of the mem-bers of these teams are champi-ons in their own right.

As is usually the case in pro-vincial championships, many of these curlers bring an excep-tional wealth of curling experi-ence and previous accolades with them.

This year however, appears to be extraordinary in the num-ber of curlers who have been previous provincial, territorial

and national champions, in all different levels of curling: ju-niors, men, women, mixed, se-nior and master.

On the women’s side of the competition, curlers on four of the eight teams – Maureen Bird, Sandra Galloway, Morreen Ma-cLeod and Carol McFadden – have, at least, one B.C. Masters Champion to their credit. In addition to these champion-ships, individual accomplish-ments include N.W.T. repre-sentation at the National Scott Tournament of Hearts, B.C. Mixed Championships, and B.C. Senior Women’s Champi-onship.

On the men’s side of the com-petition, the Garry Gelowitz and Rick Pughe teams combine to be the B.C. Masters Cham-pion for the past four years, with the Pughe team winning the national championship in 2008 and the Gelowitz team being the reigning national champion.

While there have been some lineup changes on the Gelowitz teams, most of the members of the current Pughe team were on the winning teams of 2008 and 2009.

In addition to these two

teams, a number of other teams – Wayne Saboe, Craig Light-body, Doug Bothamley and Glen Ford – include members who have provincial, territo-rial and national titles to their credit, including junior men’s national, mixed, seniors, mas-ters, Elks and Legion champi-onships.

Some of the curlers have also participated in numerous Brier championships.

In fact, one of the curlers, present in our city this week-end, has also had international curling experience, winning a Bronze medal for Australia in the 2010 World Senior Champi-onship held in Russia.

The curlers are in town and the community is ready to watch some superb curling this weekend, starting on Thursday with the opening ceremonies scheduled for 6:30 p.m., fol-lowed by the opening draw at 7:30 p.m.

Round robin games go all day Friday and Saturday with the semifi nals and fi nals sched-uled for Sunday.

Good luck and may the curl-ing gods be on your side this weekend at the curling club in Grand Forks.

SPORTS❚ BASKETBALL

The Grand Forks Secondary School (GFSS) Wolves senior boys’ basketball team closed off the season, going 1-2 at the AA Kootenay Zone basketball tournament this past weekend at the GFSS gym.

Friday, Feb. 24: GFSS Wolves 56 vs. David Thompson Lakers 57

It appeared as if the sixth-seeded Wolves would be at least headed to OT against the three-seed Lakers but a potential game-tying free throw was waved off by the referee, citing a lane violation.

Damien Rougeau led the Wolves in scoring with 24 points.

“It was an amazing game, it was probably the best one I’ve ever played in but it’s pretty crush-ing to lose it by that little,” explained GFSS play-er Ryan Horahan.

Horahan disagreed with the lane violation call that nullifi ed what would’ve been the tying bas-ket.

“I just call it a questionable call by the referee; I don’t like it,” he said.

“He’s not our favourite ref I guess but it wasn’t his fault,” explained GFSS’ Brodie Hall. “We had so many opportunities to close that game. The easiest reason would be to blame it on someone else for the loss but it was really us. We missed shots when we should’ve made them.”

Head Coach Michael Wirischagin agreed.“I honestly thought it was a questionable call

as well but ultimately it shouldn’t have had come to that point,” Wirischagin said.

“We turned the ball over too many times. We missed easy lay ups and easy shots and we missed free throws and if we had done those little things right, it would have never come to that point.”

Friday, Feb. 24: Prince Charles Secondary School (PCSS) 51 vs. GFSS 60

The team bounced back for a win against PCSS despite the emotional end to the previous game.

Hall took an elbow to the mouth early in the game and had to be taken to hospital.

He was OK but did not return.“One of their post players kind of brought the

ball over and his elbow hit me in the mouth and I dropped to the fl oor,” explained Hall about the elbow incident the following day.

“I didn’t really know what happened and I kind of blacked out for a bit but I got back up and

my teammates were saying my teeth were out, so I got up and went to the hospital and I heard that my teammates pulled through and got the win.”

“My teeth are back in and I don’t have any fake teeth or anything so it’s all good,” Hall quipped.

Rougeau once again led the team in scoring, this time with 19 points.

Saturday, Feb. 25: GFSS 62 vs. Selkirk Secondary School 66

Ryan Horahan fouled out and was replaced by Ross Merry.

Rougeau, Jamie Ferguson and Heath Bergum were tied for a game-high 16 points each.

Because of his injury suffered in the PCSS game, Hall, who along with Horahan will graduate this year, sat for most of the game but Wirischagin gave him some time at the end, as it was his fi nal game and he made a basket.

Hall wasn’t happy about spending most of the game on the bench.

“Worst feeling of my life,” Hall said of being spectator for most of the Selkirk game. “It was awful but I got that last basket at the end and it made it a bit better.”

After the team’s fi nal game, Wirischagin noted that the team’s lack of success from the free throw line hindered the team and the fact it turned the ball over quite a bit in its three games didn’t help either.

“It’s often the small things that come back to bite you and that’s ultimately what happened. Turnovers, free throws, the small little things,” he said.

The team was quite tenacious under the boards throughout its three games but Wirischagin saw room for improvement.

“We had a killer instinct in this tournament that we haven’t had all season. Defensively, I would’ve liked to see us box out a little better,” he said.

“We gave up too many offensive rebounds but for the fi rst time all season, we went and got some of those offensive boards and put back points that every other team seems to be able to get that are the little things again that help you win and keep you in games.”

Nelson’s L.V. Rogers ultimately won the tour-nament, defeating Invermere’s David Thompson 64-49 in the zone fi nal.

The Nelson high school will represent the Kootenay zone at the provincial tournament in Kamloops, which takes place between March 7 and 10.

Notice of Passing

Rose Marie Beaulieu passed peacefully on February 2, 2012, surrounded by loving friends and community members at Christina Lake, B.C. A memorial was held on Thursday, February 9, at the Christina Lake Community Hall. Rose was born on April 28, 1957, at Edmonton, Alberta, to Marguerite Rose Klugie.

Her biological father was a young Italian man, the son of an Italian restaurant owner. Due to the times and cir-cumstances, it was decided that adoption would be the best way, and so from birth Rose was placed in an orphanage for children to await adoption. That happened three and one half years later, when two wonderful people appeared. Mary and Micheal Andruchow fell in love with Rose and took her home to be raised on their wheat and cattle farm near Lamont, Alberta. Rose enjoyed a happy life. Her school years passed in the Lamont area, and then at age 15, harder times came when her Dad died and she and her Mom had to sell the farm and moved into town. Rose got a cleaning job at the local hospital on weekends and holidays, and continued in high school. Growing up in a close-knit small town of 700, Rose was not told of her native heritage until after high school to avoid any discrimination.

She excelled at high jump, badminton, and enjoyed riding her bike around town with friends. In the winter, ice-skating, skidooing and all the things of small town life. Rose left home for Edmonton in her early 20’s, beginning a life of work including managing hotel and motel businesses in Stettler and Pencticton. She loved the hos-pitality business. Later Rose became the energetic and accomplished house painter and decorator so many people in Christina Lake knew her as.

In 1998 she met her birth mother, Marguerite Klugie, and her siblings (many of whom were just meeting each other as well) - three brothers and three sisters. She developed her relationships with care, while living her life to the fullest! Her cour-age and energy and drive to heal her illness was legendary. She connected with her new found birth family, supported her friends and family here, worked on many jobs across the town, walked, talked, visited and built a life that she had longed for. A place to call home. A place full of people she trusted and loved. She found your community and this family in time to be cared for in a way she had never allowed others to care for her. We all know she would be the fi rst to rise and work and lend a hand; it was now on her last bed that she said to friends and family and to those who cared for her each day, thank you for caring for me, for carrying me to this glori-ous end of life. Her life ended in peace and joy.

Rose is predeceased by her adoptive mother Mary and father Michal, and her brother Patrick Fumo. She is survived by her life friend Joe Lindley and his daugh-ters Natasha and Tamara, as well as Joe’s family and the innumerable Christina Lake friends who were family.

Thank you all, and thank you Ralph and Lucy Ackles, the Christina Lake Choir and everyone who made Rose’s memorial a celebration of a wonderful life lived. Rose asked for donations to area SPCA groups instead of fl owers. Grand Forks Funeral Home had care of arrangements.

OBITUARIESHealth authorities

against lawn pesticide use

Leading health organizations recently launched B.C.’s fi rst-ever, anti-pesticide advertising campaign – a major newspaper blitz that urges all British Columbians to support a lawn and

garden pesticide ban. Health organizations endorsing

the campaign include the Canadian Cancer Society, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, the Lung Asso-

ciation, the Public Health Association of BC and the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment.

“Respected Canadian health organizations have come to-gether in an unprecedented campaign to prohibit toxic lawn products,” said Kathryn Seely, Director of Public Issues at the Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. and Yukon.

“This is the fi rst time in B.C. history that such an initiative has been undertaken. Health experts are hopeful that B.C. can follow Eastern Canada’s suit with a province-wide pesticide ban.”

The advertisements – which will run in major outlets for eight weeks – urge British Columbians to call or e-mail Premier Christy Clark with a simple mes-sage: “I support a lawn and garden pesticide ban!”

“Children across Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia are all protected from these poisons, but the same can’t be said of children in B.C.,” explained Gideon Forman of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment. “We think that’s outrageous and this unique campaign is designed to rectify it.”

Along with experts, a province-wide pesticide ban is also supported by local residents and B.C. municipalities. Recent polling shows over 70 per cent of British Columbians favour a pesticide phase-out on private and public properties.

Scientifi c research shows people exposed to pesticides are at greater risk for cancer, reproduc-tive problems and neurological illness.

Notice of Passing

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Vera Semenoff of Grand Forks, B.C. Vera passed away in the loving presence of family at Hardy View Lodge, on Febru-ary 16, 2012, at age 81. Born in Lundbreck, Alberta, on February 15, 1931, to Peter and Helen Salekin.

As a young woman on a visit to Grand Forks, she met a young man, Pat Se-menoff, son of Peter and Mary Semenoff. After a short courtship they were married on April 17, 1949. They lived in Coleman, Alberta, for a few years and later settled in Grand Forks to raise their two children, Elaine and Wally.

Vera was a lifelong member of the USCC. She actively participated in the ladies cooking groups, ladies choirs and was always willing to help and contribute when called to serve in all related functions.

Vera retired in 1989 after completing 25 years of service working for School District #12 as custodian for the John Hutton School. She was a conscientious employee who took great pride in keeping the school clean and tidy.

Vera’s most treasured joys and concerns in her life were her children and her granddaughter, Cosette. She loved her garden and the abundance that it provided. Her love of family was evident in her affection and sup-port of family members as well as her delicious home cooked family dinners. Her hospitality, generosity and gentle nature was extended to all who knew her and it was her gift to all of us.

Vera is survived by her daughter Elaine (John) Sookochoff of Grand Forks, son Wally (Valarie) Se-menoff of Christina Lake, granddaughter Cosette (Mark) Kempston and great-granddaughter Kiana Kempston of Kelowna. She also leaves behind her brother Larry (Margaret) Salekin, niece Lynn (Chris) Parno of Airdrie, Alta., nephew Anthony Salekin of Calgary, Alta., neph-ew Don Salekin of Grand Forks, as well as extended family members and friends.

A funeral service was held at the USCC Community Centre on Monday, February 20, 2012 . Grand Forks Funeral Home had care of arrangements.

Vera will be sadly missed by her family, her relatives and friends. We will keep and cherish her memory in our hearts forever. May she rest in peace in God’s heav-enly kingdom. Memorial donations will be gratefully ac-cepted to the USCC or the Alzheimer’s Society of B.C.

VERA SEMENOFF

Notice of Passing

It is with profound sadness that we announce the pass-ing of our beloved Judi. After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Judi passed away peacefully with her family by her side.

Judi was born at Trail, B.C., the third child and only daughter of Alex and Mary Wishlow. She grew up in the loving care of a large extended family. She left her family home at Creston to attend university and in 1984 was awarded a Bachelor of Commerce degree from UBC. Judi then joined the IBM Corporation and quickly rose to the executive ranks, which at the time was a rare achievement for a female.

In May of 1991, Judi embarked on a new career, that of a devoted mother of two rambunctious boys. For the remainder of her life she dedicated her time, energy and boundless love to her children.

Judi had an infectious love of life. She was always ready and willing to re-invent herself and try new things and in doing so, inspired those she touched to do the same. Outside her family, her greatest passions were competitive volleyball and singing. One of the greatest joys of her life was the time she spent performing and recording music with Trillium.

Judi is predeceased by her mother, Mary. She is survived by her husband, Kelly; sons, Sean and Ryan; father, Alex; brothers: Don, Frank and Kevin; her incompara-ble aunt, Julia; brothers-in-law: Tony and Rose Thomas, and Ted and Kate Thomas; sister-in-law, Patti and Yves Gendron; nieces, Jocelyn and Michelle; and great-niece, Eve.

A celebration of Judi’s life will be held on March 3, 2012, at 2 p.m., at the Chris-tina Lake Community Hall, 90 Park Rd. Internment at the Grand Forks Cemetery will be followed by a reception at the Christina Lake Hall. Funeral arrangements administered by the Grand Forks Funeral Home.

Our deepest appreciation to Dr. Karen Gelman, the nurses at the Chemo Therapy Unit of the KBRH, Arjan Stolker and all of our friends and relatives, too many to mention, for all they did for our Judi during this diffi cult time. In lieu of fl owers, dona-tions may be made to the Chemo Therapy Unit of the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, Trail, B.C.

It is night. The night is for stillness. Let us be still. It is night after a long day. What has been done is done. What has not been done has not been done. Let it be. The night is quiet. Let the stillness of the peace enfold us, all who are dear to us and all who have no peace. The night heralds the dawn. Let us look expectantly to a new day, new joys and new possibilities.

JUDI THOMASDecember 20, 1958 to February 23, 2012

Notice of Passing

Gus (Ely) Sherbinin, beloved husband, brother, grandfather and father passed away on February 24, 2012, at the age of 76 years old. He will be dearly missed by his wife, Daphne; his daughters: Cindy (Jim) Liebel and Susan (Rod) Rutherford; and he is lov-ingly remembered by his grandchildren: Tyler and Amanda Liebel, Sara Liebel and Jenn Austin, and Derek Liebel. Gus was also a treasured brother, uncle, and friend who contributed greatly to the community. Gus is lovingly remembered by his brother, George (Maxine); he was predeceased by his sister, Tania (Don) Owens; his brother ,Johnny; and his parents, Helen and John Sherbinin.

He is a long time resident of Midway with many years of contribution towards the community. His many contributions spanned from avid community club member (he was instrumental in the construction of the local community center) to auxiliary policeman, he was an ambulance attendant for many years, plus he was an integral part of organizing and staging the Midway Rodeo. His career began at the family busi-ness of Boundary Sawmills where he and his family made a strong contribution to the region. Later Gus owned, and operated (where he sat on a pop case gathering the local gossip) the local Esso station.

The family are eternally grateful for all the support of Dr. Ooi, Willy Kakuno and many other friends of the community for all their assistance. Family and friends are invited to a celebration of Gus’ life that will be held at the Midway Community Centre on Friday, March 2, 2012, at 1 p.m. The family wishes that any requests for contributions/cheques be made to the Kettle Bursary and Scholarship Society for either the Mike Downing Scholarship or the Kakuno Scholar-ship. Contributions can be sent to Leslie Walker, Box 436, Midway, B.C., V0H 1M0. Condolences and tributes may be directed to the family by visiting: www.nunes-pottinger.com. Arrangements entrusted to Nunes-Pottinger Funeral Service & Crematorium, Oliver and Osoyoos.

OBITUARIESThe culture of care

The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is encouraged by both the recent Ombud-sperson’s report, “The Best of Care: Getting it Right for Seniors” and the Ministry of Health’s Action Plan, “Improving Care for B.C. Seniors.”

Although we recognize the challenges, the Alzheimer Society urges transformational change of the health care system to ensure person-cen-tered care and services for families facing dementia.

As noted in the Ombudsperson’s report, there are signifi cant gaps in the care for people with dementia and their families that must be addressed. Her report references the Dementia Service Framework, 2007, an excellent blueprint for further action.

Implementing the Ombudsperson’s report would go a long way to achieving the goal of humanizing care in residential care facilities. The Al-zheimer Society of B.C. is actively engaged in efforts to improve the quality of life for people with dementia who live in care facilities and who now make up the largest group of residents. Our public position “Changing the Culture of Care” is available on our website alzheimerbc.org.

We look forward to the minister’s review of existing best practices for se-niors’ care and the redesign of the system. Connecting people newly diag-nosed with dementia to the education, information and support programs is one example of how redesign can strengthen the health-care system.

The Action Plan referenced our innovative First Link program, which is funded by the Ministry of Health and partners with physicians and other health care providers, making it easy for them to connect their patients impacted by dementia to the society.

Frail elders with physical challenges, living alone can often be safely supported at home very late into their illness because they are able to col-laborate and co-operate with community support staff.

People with dementia most often must move into residential care when they experience challenges with behavioural and psychological symptoms. The challenges of care eventually outstrip the capacity of family caregivers to be able to support them in their own homes and inadequate community support no longer ensures their safety.

Once in the care facility, the behavioural symptoms of the person with dementia confound staff, who are under-prepared for effectively managing the care required. Behavioural symptoms are now understood increasingly to be expressions of unmet needs.

Most of the time, the unmet needs can be identifi ed and, if care is planned accordingly, can be supported with non-pharmacological care and minimal psychotropic medication use.

People with dementia living in care facilities need in this situation, among others: to have their needs recognized and managed appropriately; to be known fi rst as a person with a rich and complex story that is un-derstood and valued; to be recognized as a member of a family and that the family members also have important needs for education and support; and to have an accurate diagnosis, where the journey is acknowledged, respected, and communicated with family.

JEAN BLAKECEO, Alzheimer Society of B.C.

Two new promo fi lms shot in the area will be used in local marketing efforts as the tourist season begins this year.

Locally raised fi lm producer Nik Green used his time spent in the area last summer to shoot two ki-netic fi lms that highlight the areas’ assets to potential visitors.

The fi lms are shot largely in a fi rst person perspective to give the

viewer the feeling they are already here. “I wanted to make the visitor feel as though they’re part of an ex-perience not just a spectator when watching it,” said Green.

The fi lms are being posted on the HelloBC website with Grand Forks and Christina Lake already posted and a fi lm for the West Boundary to follow. Green partnered with the City of Grand Forks, Community Futures Boundary and the RDKB to

bring the project to life.The chance to act as a tourist in

his hometown was the main appeal of creating the fi lms. “You can have a lot of fun here if you plan it right, and its even more fun with an HD camera strapped to your head,” The duo’s company Global Authority is also shooting a documentary in the area that will be aimed toward tele-vision and festival screenings. The story includes locally shot footage

of Allen Piche and the ongoing sto-ry of the “marijuana bears” as they have become known.

The crew decided Piche’s story was a great hometown piece to in-clude in the fi lm Fierceheart, which looks at alternatives to killing ani-mals that enter populated areas. The local aspect is a small portion of a story that will take the crew to various locations around North America.
