Covert districton boil wateradvisory

Another local water district is in hot water with Interior Health over a recent test result that came back high for coliform.

As a result, Covert Irrigation Watering District has had to send out boil water advisory notices to all of their customers.

Covert, servicing the area by the Danvile border crossing, has 39 customers who are serviced by two pumphouses and two wells. They are one of three improvement (irrigation) districts (along with Sion and Grand Forks Irrigation) that provide water to the rural area.

Robert Birtles, environmental health offi cer for Interior Health (IH), said that they require all water systems to provide samples for analysis. IH ensures that all water for domestic use meets the standards under the Drinking Water Protection Act and Drinking Water Protection Regulations.

“In this case, a sample taken on July 13, we got the results back on the 15th, which was indicating that they had 29 total coliform bacteria and the system was actually put on boil water notifi cation as a result of that sample result that came back,” said Birtles. “Sub-sequent to that we had the operator provide another sample which was also came back unacceptable.”

Birtles said that when they receive a positive sam-ple for coliform or E. coli they have to inquire as to what may have caused those results and determine if notifi cation warning is needed and in this case it was deemed necessary.

The minimum amount of coliform (and E. coli) is less than one.

Birtles said before Covert can come off the boil water notifi cation. they will need to provide more samples. “The typical response is to get them to fl ush their system and refresh the watering system,” he said. “We’ll get them to take more samples. If they get two consecutive days of negative samples then we would remove the boil water notifi cation.”

Birtles said if they continue to test positive, they would have to shock chlorinate the system because there may be something going wrong with the system.

Birtles said systems occasionally do have upset conditions and the monitoring helps detect that and the remedial action is to reduce the risk to the users.

Covert has had positive results through 2015 until the last two testings (July 13 and 16).

On Aug. 25, 2014, Covert tested positive for two coliforms. On Oct. 7, 2013, Covert tested positive for one coliform. Subsequent samples in both cases were clean. On Aug. 20, 2012, Covert had one coliform.

The recent boil water notice is the fi rst Covert has had since tracking began 10 years ago.

Riders ready!This weekend was a busy one for the Grand Forks BMX Club. Racing began Friday with 60+ riders taking part in the Warnicke Scholarship Race and continued on Saturday with the Race For Life, which is estimated to have raised $2,500 to send to BC Children’s Hospital Leukemia Ward. The feature on Sunday was the Provincial Championship Race with 113 riders particpat-ing. Competition was tough but local riders did great, said club president Dylan Zorn. The track is often busy, particularly on Wednesdays, as from spring to fall, the BMX club gathers for weekly races. All age ranges get out on the track and try their best as they race their bikes over the tabletops, through the rhythm sections and around the berms. Della Mallette photo

City at Stage 2 restrictionsdespite weekend’s rain

Stage 2 watering restrictions are still in effect despite this weekend’s rain.

The manager of operations for the city, Da-vid Reid, said in a release Monday that the need for residents to continue to be vigilant in following Stage 2 water restrictions is more im-portant than ever.

“Even though the area has received a little rain, we are still a long way from escaping drought conditions in this valley.”

The city maintains Stage 1 water restrictions throughout the year, allowing watering on al-ternate days in order to proactively manage water levels and water infrastructure.

Due to the diminished snow pack and the low volume of rain to date with high heat, the

city has now implemented Stage 2 Water Re-strictions, and may need to implement more re-strictive conservation measures should the cur-rent warm weather trend continue, Reid stated.

“Water restrictions help all residents,” he said. “It helps conserve water, reduces power to pump and treat the water and reduces costs to taxpayers.”

If someone forgets and waters on the wrong day or time, they may fi nd a friendly reminder in the form of a Water Smart yellow fl ag on their lawn. “These timely reminders are intend-ed to increase awareness about the restrictions, as well as share water conservation tips,” Reid said.

Stage 2 restrictions include:• Even numbered civic addresses: Water-

There are no fires of concern in the Boundary region thanks to immedi-ate responses from the BC Wildfire Service in the last two weeks.

The largest fire burning is the Gibbs Creek fire north of Grand Forks, at 18.5 hectares. The fire is in “expanded attack” but is not threatening any structures, confirmed Southeast Fire Centre fire information officer Fanny Bernard.

“Expanded attack means a fire has gone beyond initial attack capacity so there’s additional resources on it,” Bernard explained.

The Rhone fire (7 hectares) in the West Boundary is in the mop-up stage, as is the Christina Lake Southwest fire (6.8 hectares).

There are two fires at Sandner Creek: one is in patrol (perimeter has been secured, crews patrolling for hot spots), one is in mop-up.

The Eholt and Ingram Creek fires are out, Bernard said.BC Wildifre Service’s chief fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said

in a teleconference call Monday that the recent precipitation has definitely helped the wildifre situation, but he would not say the worst is over.

“There are some areas of the province that didn’t necessarily get a lot of rain over the weekend,” he said. “We expect a ridge of high pressure to build over B.C.”

In many areas, temperatures are expected to climb back into the high 20s, low 30s.

Skrepnek said as of Monday, there were 166 active wildfires. Of those, 121 were lightning caused, and the remaining either person caused or un-der investigation.

There have been 1,340 fires since April 1, which have burned an esti-mated 290,000 hectares at an estimated cost of $157 million.

In 2014 during this same time period, there were 710 fires which burned an estimated 189,000 hectares at a cost of $95 million.

Using the 10-year average, this same time period logs 833 fires burning 45,000 hectares.

“We still want people to be cautious. The current weather forecast is for a swift return of hot and dry conditions,” Skrepnek said.

Although the campfire ban was lifted in some parts of B.C., the ban re-mains in effect in the Southeast Fire Centre region.

Bernard, too, stressed that the fire ban is still on. “There’s no plans to take the campfire ban off at this point.”

Boundary wildfires under control

Are you concerned about ltron smart meters? The goal of an upcoming educational forum

is to answer questions and concerns about the meters, electromagnetic health efforts and fire danger.

The Grand Forks Watershed Coalition and Area D residents are hosting the forum, which will be held Wednesday, Aug. 12 at the Seniors’ Centre in City Park from 6 - 8 p.m.

Malcolm Paterson, PhD, will speak on a vari-ety of topics, including the electromagnetic age; brain tumours, Alzheimer’s, sleep disturbances and other health-related concerns; and child-hood learning and behavioural impairments.

Dr. Paterson is an internationally recognized molecular oncologist whose career in cancer re-searches spanned over 40 years on three conti-nents.

Also, a video will be shown of an interview of Sharon Noble, director of the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters, discussing a recent Texas court de-cision alleging Itron smart meters are defective and a fire hazard.

Join in the discussion at the Seniors’ Centre on Aug. 12. and share your questions and concerns.

Written comments and questions are continu-ing to be collected for presentation in a Grand Forks Smart Meter Manifesto. Please send letters to: Karin Bagn, Box 2012, Grand Forks, B.C. V0H 1H0, or email to: [email protected].

Smart meters the focus of forum

BC Wildfire Servcie responded immediately to several fires in the Boundary region, and used a variety of aircraft and equipment in its firefighting strategy.

EditorialiNSIGHTYOUR NEWS VIEW

The Community Justice Corner column in this week’s issue (page 20) is one of great emotional impact.

The column recounts the story of Katy Hutchi-son. On New Year’s Eve 1997 in Squamish, B.C., her husband Bob was beaten to death while checking on a party being thrown by his neigh-bour’s son. Four years later, Ryan Aldridge was arrested—he admitted to having delivered the fa-tal blow. (He was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to five years in prison.)

Less than 24 hours after his arrest, Katy met with Ryan Aldridge. It was probably the most hu-man moment of her life, she said.

Further, some time into his sentence, she agreed to a Victim-Offender Reconciliation. Katy told Ryan during that meeting that she had forgiven him.

There are many reasons to forgive but what-ever the reason, it’s not easy. In fact, it may be the hardest thing you’ve ever done.

The reason Katy wanted to tell her story was to help change people’s perceptions. Read the col-umn, read her thoughts, and you decide.

A lesson in forgiveness

HOW TO REACH US

A minimalist approach is probably as fitting as any

Earlier this year, our editorial columnist (and former reporter) Jim Holtz took a break from writ-ing to concentrate on his health, and his family.

In the meantime, we featured the conversational writing of Boundary Creek Times reporter Pat Kelly, and the historical an-ecdotes of Grand Forks native Milton Orris. Eventually, report-er Craig Lindsay and I began to each write a column.

Jim always made it seem so easy, to write a column each week that was interesting, informative and engaged our readers. Craig and I are writing only every sec-ond week—and I don’t know about Craig, but I’m not finding it near as easy as Jim made it look.

As I write, I try to think of what Jim might write about, what

Jim would think of my ideas. One idea I had, and wrote

about a month or so ago, was about obituaries. Jim was not well, and I’m sure he didn’t read it, but for personal reasons he was thinking of obituaries as well.

In his own words:~~~

We place importance on a per-son’s last words, on final state-ments, on epitaphs carved on tombstones.

A person may speak millions and millions of words in his or her lifetime, but it is the last few words that we want to hear. For many, the last words are written about them in an obituary.

The obituary writer is sup-posed to summarize the de-ceased person’s life. That isn’t easy. What should be included? What left out? And of course the writer always wants to convey to the reader the kind of person the deceased really was; the limited space makes that difficult.

There isn’t room to tell the stories of specific kindness and

generosity, of hard work and am-bition, of differences made in the lives of others.

No, the incidents that define a person are too lengthy to be included in an obituary. Instead the writer makes statements like: “She was kind hearted,” or “He was a devoted father,” or “He always stood up for what he be-lieved in.”

Maybe it is for the best that obituaries are short and to the point. They are after all only a sort of exclamation point placed at the end of a person’s life. “Take note for the last time,” they say; “he/she did live, did laugh, did suffer, did make a difference.”

Sometimes a person’s last words tell more about the person than his/her obituary.

My father’s good friend Al was a perfect example. He was a serious and successful man who took on many responsibilities with his church, the Rotarians, the Elks Club and many other volunteer organizations. His obit-uary listed all of that, of course,

but never mentioned the aspects of his personality that endeared him to my father.

The day he died of cancer, my father visited him in the hospital where he lay, pale and thin and shot full of morphine. Just before my dad left, Al motioned to him to bend down so he could tell him something. When my dad leaned over close enough, Al smiled and whispered, “It must have been a bad bowl of chilli.”

That’s not a bad exit line. I am tempted to use it myself, but my fabulous and amazing wife, Judy, makes all our chilli and so I’m sure she wouldn’t appreciate it. And really, in the grand scheme of things, a more minimalist ap-proach to a final statement is probably as fitting as any:

“!”

Opinion

Letters to the editor Privatization is not an option

During the early discussions in 2014 about the city council’s decision to install residential water meters, it was argued that the move was the first step toward privatization of the system. No rationale for the claim was ever provided yet is still surfaces on occasion during discussions of water issues.

Questions about privatization are purely academic at this time but resi-dents should know what such a move could mean to them should a future coun-cil consider divesting itself of water and wastewater services to cover other costs.

Food and Water Watch (FWW), a pub-lic interest, non-profit organization in the United States that advocates for safe food and water for everyone in the country, recently published a paper in April 2013 called “Borrowing Trou-ble: Water Privatization is a False Solution for Municipal Budget Shortfalls.” Its authors make a strong case in opposition to privately owned and oper-ated water and wastewater services.

FWW lists five major problems with water and wastewater privatization: loss of control by local government, rate increases for providing the service, higher operating costs, service problems and other hidden costs.

Should a municipality decide to divest of some or all responsibility for water and wastewater services, it has likely chosen one of three options: a lease arrangement, a concession, or a full divestiture. Under a lease and a concession, a local government maintains ownership but transfers long-term control over its systems to a private company. Under a divestiture, a local government divests itself of all responsibility for the services and gives the company complete control.

FWW has taken a strong stand on privately owned and operated sys-tems, stating, “Privatization is irresponsible.”In the organization’s view it is an abdication of control on the part of a local government over vital public services and it limits public accountability. The ultimate major prob-lem is the cost of the service for users. Companies want to grow their prof-its.

Most municipalities in B.C. still own and operate their own water and sewer systems and Grand Forks is among them. The city of White Rock is one that doesn’t, and it is now in the late stages of negotiating the purchase of its system from EPCOR Utilities Inc., an Edmonton-based company that has operated the White Rock water service for several years. The negotia-tions have been going on for almost two years.

White Rock’s mayor, Wayne Baldwin, was recently quoted in The Peace Arch News as saying, “We believe it’s [the takeover] is in the best interests of taxpayers.” Baldwin admits that in doing so, the city will take on a big debt.

While shareholders in a company like EPCOR want to make a profit city-operated systems can be kept within the ability of residents to pay and the money stays in the community.

Regardless what the future holds for Grand Forks, residents should nev-er become complacent about the ownership of the water and wastewater services they now enjoy at a reasonable cost. Both are now well managed for the benefit of everyone and should remain under city control.

Though there could be a time when funding water and wastewater services becomes a financial burden for residents of Grand Forks, divest-ing ownership and responsibility for the system would be a mistake. The city has a responsibility to safeguard the water supply and the system that serves all households and businesses and it should not relinquish that re-sponsibility.

There is plenty of evidence for a strong case in support of public own-ership of the water and wastewater delivery systems in Grand Forks. A couple good reasons are: eligibility of the city for provincial and federal infrastructure grants, and the greater efficiencies of public ownership.

Should residents ever have to respond to an offer to privatize water and sewage services they should promptly reject it.

Big White has high water demand

Council approves applyingfor permit to cull deer

Editor, The Gazette:Ever wonder how Big White ended up in

the Kootenay Boundary regional district?Apparently, when the boundaries were be-

ing established, some local wise man pushed for the head waters of the Kettle River to be included in our regional district so that our communities could exercise “control” over the headwaters of our river. Yes, our river.

Now, Big White Ski Resort is part of the picture.

It features:• Total Uphill Capacity: 28,000 skiers per

hour• Three village hotels• 25 condo/town home complexes

• 244 vacation homes and luxury cabins• One ski-in ski-out youth hostel • plus retail locations as well as restaurants

and pubs.So, where does all the water they use come

from? And is it sustainable?More good news.Big White’s vision, “Project 2000,” has now

been fulfilled and Big White is rewriting the master plan for moving forward.

This project will include future neigh-bourhoods, public facilities, and community infrastructure—with even more demand for water.

Rob Chornenki,Grand Forks

Letters continue on page A7

Editor, The Gazette:At the regular council meeting of June 20,

council members voted unanimously in sup-port of a recommendation of the Deer Com-mittee.

The resolution put forward by myself as chair of the Deer Committee was “to obtain permits through the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations to cull up to 80 using clover traps and a bolt gun.”

The recommendation was not made lightly. Following seven years of the committee col-lecting information on our resident deer popu-lation, it was clear that we have been seeing a growing population.

Our last count, conducted this spring, came in at 166 animals. That number represents the minimum number of deer and we speculate accounts for only half of the true number. The recent collaring of a number of deer with GPS units demonstrated clearly that their range is very limited; in all cases just a few hundred metres.

Without the pressure of predators to keep their numbers in check, coupled with the intentional feeding of these otherwise wild animals by some community members, we have created a habitat within our municipal boundaries that is host to 100 to 200 deer per square kilometre. That density is the highest of any other community in the province.

Unfortunately, our collision insurance is also one of the highest in the province due to the fact that the only population control is

inadvertent Deer Vehicle Collisions (DVC’s). It is an untenable situation.

With a cull, our intent would be to bring numbers down to 2007 levels. It is done humanely, supervised by the SPCA, and the remains processed, inspected and distributed freely to First Nations and local food banks.

Through education, enhanced signage, and the continued increase in deer-fenced proper-ties, we are reducing the appeal of our city to deer. These elements would help reduce the need for future culls or lengthen the time between them.

It is important to note that council has not decided on a cull but only to obtain the permits to conduct one. It is just one step in moving forward with this element of the Deer Management Plan. With the commitment of Minister Thompson of the MFLNRO to re-sources and to expediting permits, we hope to not have to bear the financial burden alone.

In communicating and working with other communities dealing with urban ungulates, and possibly in cooperation with First Na-tions, we can develop further strategies to mitigate the negative impact of wild animals in our cities.

The Grand Forks Deer Committee invites respectful feedback and constructive sugges-tions that support its efforts. Members of the public can make submissions to [email protected].

Editor, The Gazette:Hey, Big Oil. Why, when a barrel of oil is about $48, are we

still paying an outrageous amount for a litre of gas? A great way to maintain and increase profits is to buy low

and sell high, is that your plan? How low does the price of oil have to fall before your customers feel any benefit from the depressed oil market?

Of course you have a shopping bag full of excuses as to why the price at the pump hasn’t fallen, but most of us real-ize these excuses are nonsense.

In a sane and progressive society you would have gone “out of business” years ago. Is it true you are still stealing Canadians’ money through the tax subsidies enabled by our federal government? I guess if you have few friends, it’s good the few friends you have work in Ottawa.

David Janzen,Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette:An open letter to mayor and council regarding the Grand

Forks Aquatic Centre.Congratulations on such a wonderful facility. Over the last six months I have had the privilege in

using our aquatic centre on a weekly basis and am im-pressed with the physical plant, the maintenance and staff I have had the pleasure in dealing with.

The pool with its associated sauna, hot tub and fitness room is everything one would require for a com-plete workout and relaxing experience. The areas are always clean and presentable, the front desk staff and lifeguards are extremely personable, helpful and greet you with a smile and welcome.

We are fortunate to have this superior facility in our community—thank you. Please pass my compliments on to the staff involved.

Richard White,Christina Lake

Aquatic centre a great facility

Why are we paying so much for gas?

There’s a reason for no roadside buffer

Do we just not care about dumping garbage?

Editor, The Gazette:In his July 15 letter to the editor, Don

Colclough asks whether there could not have been a buffer between the road and the logging which took place a kilometre or two below the Phoenix Ski Hill.

Although I did not personally have anything to do with this particular logging operation, I have had some experience planning cutblocks and I thought I would add my two cents to the conversation.

First, a treed buffer alongside a road

prevents the use of that road for the decking of logs which means another road or landing will have to be built for the purpose.

This adds to the overall soil distur-bance, increases the cost of logging, and reduces the stumpage paid to the province.

Second, trees alongside roads can be a hazard and an expense, especially when insects and disease keep killing them off. When these trees become dan-ger trees, they must be felled at public expense.

If these same roadside areas were to be logged, they would provide a net economic benefit. Meanwhile, in a few years the new forest will grow back and make a new buffer.

I agree that the ski hill community should go have a look at the logging to see what they think, but also to con-sider the irony when comparing it with the ski hill itself where no reforestation is allowed.

Doug Noren,Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette:Please. Do we really need to dispose

of garbage along our roadsides, creeks, rivers and lakes?

For the past year I have been com-muting from Grand Forks to Christina Lake. I have personally taken time to collect some of the discarded trash and can safely say that much of it is delib-erately thrown out of vehicle windows

or simply dumped off when parked alongside the highway.

Why? Do we not understand that all this garbage, which by the way ranges from pop bottles, discarded food wastes to diapers, can eventually find its way to our creeks, rivers and oceans. or is it that we JUST DON’T CARE.

Perhaps our mayor and city coun-

cillors could spend a little time and discussion on this matter? Is it possible to hire a few students to assist in some clean-up efforts?

For anyone passing through Grand Forks, it must be disappointing to encounter so much refuse along our roadways.

Roy Schiesser,Grand Forks

Water meter installationdeadline extended

Water meter inputAt the Committee of the

Whole meeting on July 20, Grand Forks City Council re-ceived a report from Dave Reid, manager of operations, regarding the input from the public on the water meters.

The city had asked the pub-lic to submit their opinions of the project.

There were 89 submissions received. Of those, 49 were for the program, while 35 were against. The other five did not comment directly about or present options about the wa-ter meter program.

Of the 49 for the water me-ter project, 43 have a utility ac-count with the city; of the 35 against water meter project, 28 have a utility account with the city.Water meter deadline extended

At its regular meeting on July 20, city council passed the first three readings for an amendment to bylaw No. 1973 (water regulations) to al-low an extension to the time line for residents to have until Dec. 31, 2015 to install water meters. Council advised that there would not be any fines for those who do not have their water meters in by July 31, 2015.

Mayor Frank Konrad re-cused himself from the discus-sion under recommendations from the city’s lawyers Young Anderson about being in a po-tential conflict of interest.Lease transfer

Council voted to support the transfer of the lease of 7212 Riverside Drive (the Multi-Agency Accommodation Proj-ect building) to Boundary Ex-treme Weather Shelter (BETHS) and Whispers of Hope because Habitat for Humanity South-east B.C. requested to with-draw from the lease.

Habitat was originally a partner in the MAAP project with BETHS and Whispers of Hope. Habitat had planned to build a ReStore location adja-cent to the building with office space and three transitional housing units on the second floor.

They chose to withdraw from the site after council de-layed extending the lease from five years to 10. Reports to council

In her report to council, Councillor Christine Thomp-son said she attended the Can-ada Day celebration in City Park along with councillors

Hammett and Butler. On July 8, Thompson along

with Mayor Konrad and other councillors met with MLA Linda Larsen as she presented the city with a grant cheque for $330,000 from the Building Canada Fund and Small Com-munities Fund for a much-needed upgrade to the waste-water treatment plant.

Councillor Julia Butler re-ported that on July 6 she filed her paperwork with the Su-preme Court in response to the city’s petition. She is still await-ing a court date.

On July 15, Butler attended a strategic planning workshop held by council.

Mayor Konrad wrote that on July 14 he attended the Highway 3 coalition meet-ing. In attendance was Mike Lorimer from the Ministry of Transportation. Many topics were discussed including road improvements, signage, bi-cycle shoulders, and possible rebranding of the Crowsnest name.Transition Housing Steering Committee

Council voted to adopt the terms of reference for the tran-sition housing project steering committee (THPSC).

The terms of reference be-ing recommended are similar to other ad-hoc steering com-mittees with key elements including: the committee is established as a steering com-mittee to advise and make rec-ommendations to city council regarding the steps necessary to facilitate the development of transition housing in the com-munity and on establishing conditions for a needs assess-ment study, which is a neces-sary pre-condition for a transi-tion housing project, including associated services for home-less individuals; the committee alone will consult with senior government housing agencies in order to qualify for sup-port and funding assistance, which will be necessary for the development of this proj-ect; Members of the committee may include a representative designated from: Whispers of Hope, BETHS, Habitat for Humanity, RCMP, Boundary Women’s Transition House; Interior Health; BFISS; Bound-ary Chamber of Commerce; Sunshine Valley Community Services; city council; and area D director. James Donaldson bleachers

Council unanimously voted to revise the 2015 financial plan to include $2,890 in additional

funding for the James Donald-son bleachers capital project to be funded from the current op-erating budget.

The bleachers were includ-ed in the 2015 capital plan to be repaired for $25,000; how-ever, there were unexpected expenses. Staff requested the additional $2,890 for the capi-tal project for the engineering costs required.Habitat tax exemption

Council decided not to grant a request from Habitat for Hu-manity for a 2015 permissive tax exemption.Rezoning request denied

Council voted not to pro-ceed with rezoning property located at 832-64th Ave. from the current R-1 (single and two-family residential zone) to R-4 (rural residential).CannaFest granted noise extension

Council approved a request from Chuck Varabioff of the upcoming CannaFest 2015 event to extend the noise con-trol bylaw (No. 1963) to 12:30 a.m. on the two nights of the festival, Aug. 7 and 8.

Varabioff confirmed that decibel levels will remain un-der 90, which is keeping with typical outdoor music events in smaller communities.Ticketing bylaw

Council gave the first three readings to an amendment by-law No. 1957, the municipal ticketing and information by-law. The amendment, schedule 12-A3, will allow the city to ap-ply fines for sprinkling viola-tions.

This would allow for better control and enforcement of the bylaw with regard to watering restrictions.

The proposed fines for Stage 2 violations would be: $100 for a first offence; $200 for a second office; and $300 for a third of-fence.

The motion was carried with no opposition recorded.Financial plan amendment

Council gave final reading to financial plan amendment 2, which accounts for the City Hall fire expenditures and an increase in amortization.

City Hall fire, general op-erating expenses and other sources revenue have been in-creased by $1,574,892. General fund amortization was also in-creased by $48,827.

Neither of these amend-ments requires a funding source as neither will affect municipal taxation, surplus or reserves.

The motion was carried unanimously.

Internet service enhanced

Many communities in the Kootenay Bound-ary now have enhanced Internet services.

This from the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, which announced in a press release last week how pleased it is to be part of the ef-forts to bring that enhanced service to Boundary communities.

Working with the Regional Districts of East Kootenay and Central Kootenay as well as with the Columbia Basin Trust and Columbia Basin Broadband Corporation has resulted in Internet improvements and/or expansions in parts of Electoral Areas A, B/Lower Columbia-Old Glo-ry, C/Christina Lake, D/Rural Grand Forks and E/West Boundary, the release said.

“We cannot give enough thanks to the efforts of our local government friends and partners in East and Central Kootenay, nor to the Colum-bia Basin Trust,” said Chair Grace McGregor, RDKB board chair and director for Area C/

Christina Lake. “Their long-term commitment to improving

Internet access to rural residents has resulted in an innovative and productive partnership be-tween the CBT, local government, local societies and private industry to improve Internet service to rural residents. This partnership has brought the federal government to the table with essen-tial funding for these projects.”

Ali Grieve, Area A director, added, “High speed is something we all expect today, with much of rural Canada still left out. This is a very significant improvement not only for some of our rural neighbours, but for existing or poten-tial new business as well. Rural business gets a more level playing field to research and expand their markets.”

“Improving Internet service and availability makes our communities more livable and sus-tainable,” said Director Linda Worley, Area B/Lower Columbia-Old Glory.

“A key benefit to improving internet capabili-ties is the ability for our rural residents to access and benefit from learning opportunities in the expanding world of on-line education,” said Di-rector Roly Russell, Area D/Rural Grand Forks.

“Living in rural British Columbia has many benefits that are sometimes overshadowed by challenges. In an age where good, reliable high speed Internet access is essential for a com-munity to be sustainable and grow, this project brings hope and potential to our rural residents,” said Director Vicki Gee, Electoral Area E/West Boundary.

This project, which will see the improvement and enhancement of existing services as well as expansion into new service areas has been a long term one, has had many individuals contribut-ing.

“I could not be happier that all of the hard work has resulted in meaningful projects that will benefit Christina Lake and other communi-ties in our region and beyond,” said Chair Grace McGregor. “A special mention must be made of former RDKB Chair Larry Gray whose commit-ment to the issue of rural internet access and ef-forts while in office and afterwards helped en-sure this successful ending.”

CHRISTINA LAKE

✁A

A local politician has a solution for the problem of international waste that doesn’t stink. Grace McGregor, RDKB Area C/Christina Lake director, would like to see border authorities in the Unit-ed States and Canada simply exchange each other’s garbage they collect at the border.

Whether the two countries would agree is another matter. At any rate, the issue of international waste is coming up once again at a future RDKB board meet-ing. The board will have to decide if the landfills in the Kootenay Boundary will accept waste that has been seized from American travelers coming into the coun-try at one of the five borders in the RDKB.

“As a director for Christina Lake I want to know if the Americans and Ca-nadians talk to one another,” said Mc-Gregor. “If we’re not allowed to bring chicken or eggs into Canada, why are we bringing it in and treating it as inter-national waste, which we then have to treat differently. Why are we doing that instead of talking to the Americans and exchanging the waste and bringing our own waste that people have tried to get down to the States with them and isn’t an issue for us to handle.”

McGregor said she wonders if going one block to exchange waste is too much or what the real story is.

“I really want to know what the story is,” she said. “I see no reason why we would want to open that can of worms. If we start opening that can of worms, we could be up for a lot of other issues.”

McGregor said it would be hypocriti-cal for them to encourage residents to re-cycle and reduce waste, while at the same time bringing in garbage from another

country.“We don’t want to fill up our landfill

and we don’t have to put in another land-fill or close one because it’s extremely ex-pensive,” she said.

The issue is expected to be brought for-ward to the board in an upcoming meet-ing. McGregor said it has been brought up before and she is hoping the issue will finally be resolved soon.

Alan Stanley, RDKB general manager of environmental services, said that there are several issues that would need to be worked through if the board did approve of the RDKB accepting international waste.

“International waste is the stuff that the Canadian Border Services Agency of-ficers seize at the border,” said Stanley.

He said one example would be when chickens were not allowed over the bor-der after an avian flu outbreak several years back.

Stanley said the issue has been brought up before by the RDKB board of directors and it was referred back to staff.

“At the committee level (environment) they directed staff to let the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) know that we weren’t going to accept it at our landfills,” he said. “When it went to the board level they reversed that decision and referred it back to the environmen-tal services committee for discussion. So there’s been quite a back and forth over this.”

Stanley said accepting the interna-tional waste would bring up several very serious questions although the amount involved would be quite small.

“If we agree to receive them we have to follow the CFIA protocols which in-clude a variety of facilities requirements, to make sure your facility is up to par, and some operating requirements and

some staff training requirements,” he said. “At this stage we haven’t done any of that because we’ve had these discus-sions a number of times and potentially there are some very big questions that arise that haven’t been answered to the board’s satisfaction at this point.”

Stanley said the board is quite split on the issue of whether to accept the inter-national waste.

One of the big question marks is that CFIA protocols say that international waste cannot be transported within 500 metres of a farm and must be in a sealed container.

“That obviously creates some prob-lems,” he said. “Between the Danville crossing and the Grand Forks landfill, I don’t think you’re ever farther than 500 metres from a farm.”

Stanley said he understands it’s im-portant from an international stand-point to work with our neighbours to the south. He did stress that we have five small border crossings in the RDKB area with a small amount of international trade going on, but the protocols have to be followed at every single one regard-less of size.

Stanley also wonders what the region-al district’s liability would be in the case of a pathogen outbreak or other serious issue.

“Some of the fears that have been ex-pressed at the board table is that if we accept this material, would we then be-come dumped on for something like a mass cull of diseased cows,” said Stanley. “What I try to express to the board is that the operations of these facilities is com-pletely under the authority of the RDKB board of directors. If the board says we will take this much material up to this amount under these conditions, I don’t think that can be overruled.”

Exchange waste, McGregor suggestsCRAIG LINDSAYGrand Forks Gazette

Several summer youth camps operated by Selkirk College are in danger of being cancelled due to low enrollment.

Jennifer Wetmore, coordinator, com-munity education and workplace training for Selkirk College, Grand Forks, said that the camps require a certain minimum to run and so far the only camp that has achieved that, to this date, is the zombie parkour camp.

One of the camps in danger of folding is the mural madness camp with Amber Santos, which was to produce a number of murals to be placed around Grand Forks. The class was in collaboration with the City of Grand Forks, who has said they would purchase supplies for the project.

“My team of instructors put a lot of hard work into programming these camps and our marketing effort was strong,” said Wetmore, “however, for some reason, registrations are low—the lowest it’s ever been.”

Wetmore said the camps offer a variety of fun and educational opportunities for youth in the community.

Some of the camps offered are jazz and ballet, barefoot mapping, parkour, art camps such as mural madness and matisse, and mountain biking.

For more information or to register please email [email protected] or call 250-442-2704. You can also visit the col-lege’s website at Selkirk.ca.

Although summer might be close to half way done, there’s still plenty of fun to be had at Pine Bible Camp.

Pines has been operating since 1963 and has had more than 1,000 kids pass through its doors. The camp is spread out over 65 hect-ares and features cabins, a kitch-en/dining hall, an outdoor cha-pel, a 50’ dome tent, and a nearby

beach on the river. The camp offers both

week-long residential camps as well as day camps for boys and girls with a va-riety of themes. This year’s camps have once again

proved to be very pop-ular, although there is space in the upcoming camps.

“The camps are go-ing really good,” said Gene Krahn, execu-tive director for Pines Bible Camp. “We’ve got kids coming from all over from Creston/Cranbrook area to the Fraser Valley.”

Krahn said the residen-tial camps are very popu-lar where the kids stay up at the camp for the whole week.

“They stay up from Monday to Saturday and participate in a bunch of activities such as archery, kayaking, crafts, high ropes course, swimming, wide (group) games and chapel,” said Krahn.

Krahn said the camps are divided by age with groups for 8- to 12-year-olds, 11- to 14-year-olds, and a shorter “small fry” camp for 5- to 9-year-olds. There is also a teen camp for 13- to 17-year-olds.

Krahn said the day camp program has really increased in popularity. “We’ve really developed that into quite an exciting thing,” he said. “This week is art week so we have a few art specialists coming in to do art with the kids. We’ve had a sports week and oth-er weeks are planned such as science week. It’s going really good. The kids come up just for the day and it’s a lot of fun.”

Pines is currently run-ning a wilderness camp for girls, where they spend a

week sleeping in teepees experi-encing the outdoor lifestyle.

“We provide the food and they cook the food over a Cole-man stove,” he said. “They sleep in the teepees. It’s more rustic but a lot of fun. Just like camp was a long time away. It’s good fun and it’s growing in popularity.”

Krahn said there’s still lots of room in all the upcoming camps. For those who remember their camp experiences from years ago, you know it’s lots of fun and a great way to make friends.

“Camp is a great place for kids to make some new friends and try some new experiences and build memories that last a life time,” he said.

Krahn said the hot and dry weather is not putting any kind of damper on the camp at all.

“Every afternoon is beach time,” he said. “Everyone gets cooled off for a good, long time at the beach. We’ve got a great swimming hole. We have lots of nice sand and great swimming. Everyone gets cooled off well in the afternoon.”

There are plenty other exciting events coming up at Pines includ-ing a family camp this weekend.

“It’ll be a great time,” he said. “We have a square dance. We have a caller come in and we have a hoedown. People from age 8 to 88 participating together; it’s a lot of fun.”

There’s also a SERF program,

which is for those boys and girls in Grade 8 and older. “It’s for kids who want to Serve Enthu-siastically, while building Rela-tionships and having Fun,” said Krahn. “It’s a service. The kids come and do dishes and have their own program. It’s a small-er group. It’s a great experience helping kids to be a bit more self-less and put others first. That ex-perience can really change some-one’s view dramatically.”

Pines celebrated their 50th anniversary back in 2013 with a big celebration. Krahn said Pines is the biggest camp in the entire Kootenay region.

“I’ve been at the camp for 21 years now and I’m seeing teen campers from my first years here bringing their kids,” he said. “It’s very rewarding to have these parents who had a great summer camp experience and want to pass on that legacy to their kids. It’s just a delight to chat about old staff and who their cabin leaders were and the memories of great games we used to play.”

Krahn said it’s great to see the former campers want to bring their kids to camp to have some of those same experiences. “It’s pretty rewarding,” he said.

For a full list of all the remain-ing camps and important infor-mation such as dates and costs visit Pines’ website at pinesbi-blecamp.com. You can also find Pines on Facebook.

Membershipaward bestowedThe Royal Canadian Legion Branch 59 recently awarded Jerome MacDonald (left) a life member-ship. In recognizing MacDonald, branch president Joe Tatangelo (right) explained that MacDonald had been president for six years; cooked branch dinners for many years; visits at the hospital; cooked at many community events such as Breakfast With Santa, the GFI, and the Community Christmas Dinner; and many more jobs too numerous to mention.

Submitted photoMy earliest recollec-tion of dealing with in-vasive plants was when I was about 10. We used to walk up and down the driveway pulling out knapweed and burs. I remember going hik-ing and coming home with my pants covered in burs.

I found out in later years that the burs be-longed to a plant called hound’s-tongue. As the biological control began its work on the knap-weed and the plants began to decrease, there was an increase in dal-matian toadflax and hound’s-tongue.

I’m sure anyone who did any hiking 20 years ago can remember hav-ing to pick burs out of their laces when they got home. When was the last time that you had to spend an hour picking all the burs off of your-self or your pet?

In 2000 the first re-leases of Mogulones cru-cifer were done in the Ingram area. This little weevil feeds on all parts of the plant and is ex-tremely effective. There are still a few patches of hound’s-tongue around but they are all well un-der control. Before we had the weevils there were really only the op-tions of pulling it out by hand or spraying it with herbicide.

H o u n d ’ s - t o n g u e tends to like range ar-eas and it was a real problem for the ranch-ers when their cows would come home from the range all covered in burs. Bur-covered cattle are worth less money at auction.

The toadflax was a two-fold problem for the ranchers. It is toxic to livestock and it out-competes native grasses and wildflowers leaving less food for the animals.

In 1997 an insect called Mecinus janthi-nus was released in the Midway area along the Trans Canada Trail. Mecinus is one of the biological controls that works on two invasive plants, dalmatian toad-flax and yellow toadflax. In our district we no lon-ger use herbicide to treat hound’s-tongue and the use of herbicide to treat toadflax has dramati-cally decreased as the

insects do their work. For information contact the

On June 6 the residents of Boundary Country, one by one, joined the ranks of millions of people all over the globe taking steps to end cancer at the largest cancer fun-draising event in the world—Relay For Life. A total of 16 teams and 145 participants raised $32,325 and counting. Everyone came together at City Park in Grand Forks to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost and commit to fight back against the disease.

This year the theme, Rock ‘n’ Roll Re-lay—Rock Out to Knock Out Cancer, had participants dancing the day away as they supported each other walking around the track.

Community support was outstanding from participants, donors, sponsors, busi-ness supporters and everyone that came out to the park! It was a battle for top fun-draising team this year with Jazzercise Grand Forks taking the lead with $4,051, top adult Craig Lindsay raised $1,051 with his head shave and top youth Xandria Parker raised $865.

A big thank you to Jennifer Edwards, a true leader whose passion and dedication, planning and promoting made this relay such a success. Who is your donation helping?

It’s helping the dedicated members of small community groups who are work-

ing to prevent cancer by organizing cam-paigns to increase awareness of, and re-duce exposure to cancer-causing agents such as UV rays, radon, tobacco and pes-ticides.

This year the Canadian Cancer Society was able to double the amount of certified radon mitigation professionals in B.C.

It’s helping children who are cancer survivors, as they dive in the lake, get in a food fight, and tell scary ghost stories at our Camp Goodtimes summer camp.

Your donation is helping the young mother who receives support through our CancerConnection program; her Cancer-Connection match, a survivor of the same type of breast cancer, phones her after each of her chemotherapy treatments—they talk, cry, and laugh together.

Your donation is helping the husband and grandfather who phone our Cancer Information Service toll-free line to get the most accurate and up-to-date treatment options for his specific diagnosis of pros-tate cancer.

Your donation is helping the brother who is participating in a clinical trial for a new type of treatment which is funded through Canadian Cancer Society re-search dollars. Participating in this clini-cal trial is giving this man and his family a chance at improved quality of life and longer survivorship—perhaps most im-portantly it’s giving him and his family the gift of hope.

Your donation is helping the young

child who has been diagnosed with leuke-mia and needs to be away from home for weeks at a time for treatment. His parents are receiving assistance through our finan-cial support program, helping to cover the costs of travel to treatment and accommo-dations while at treatment.

With your dedicated support, the Cana-dian Cancer Society is leading the charge in the fight against all cancers, of which there are more than 200 different types. Each and every day, the society is working

hard to accomplish our mission of eradi-cating cancer and enhancing the quality of life of those living with the disease.

Thank you to everyone for your contin-ued support of Relay For Life in Bound-ary Country. As always, we are looking for outstanding, committed volunteers to help pull together this amazing event.

We want to hear from you! Email us at [email protected] or call (250) 443-1484. We look forward to seeing you next year!

Hello Grand Forks! You probably haven’t met me yet. My name is Cari Lynn Postnikoff and I am going to be your new library director here at Grand Forks and District Public Library while Avi takes a parental leave.

I want to make sure that our public library continues to be one of the most important learning and cultural centres in Grand Forks. I believe that public li-braries are crucial in bringing together the community and helping it to be the best it can be.

Since I’m new around here, I’m still trying to find out how the library can best serve you, the people of our com-munity. I want to discover how the li-brary can help the Grand Forks area grow and learn with programs, servic-es, and other initiatives. If you have any ideas for me, please stop by and let me know, I would be happy to hear what you have to say.

Need another reason to drop into the library? Here’s what’s going on for the next little while:Fling!

We are very excited that Lily Iona

Mackenzie, author of Fling!, which is “a wildly comic romp on moth-ers, daughters, art, travel, and death,” will be visiting us for a reading and conversation on

Saturday, Aug. 8 at 3 p.m.Christina Lake

Did you know that this summer we have storytime and Lego at our Chris-tina Lake location (in the Christina Liv-ing Arts Centre) on Wednesdays from 1 - 2:30 p.m.? Stories start at 1 p.m. and Lego starts at 1:30. All ages are wel-come, but children seven and under must be accompanied by an adult.BC Day

The library will be closed on Satur-day, Aug. 1 for the B.C. Day weekend. We’ll reopen on Tuesday, Aug. 4.

IN BRIEFSpirit of the Beatles comes to GEM Theatre

The excitement of the early 1960’s spirit that The Beatles brought to the stage is coming to Grand Forks’ own GEM Theatre!

The Day Trippers, a Vancouver-based Beatles tribute band, will be playing favourites such as She Loves You, From Me to You and I Feel Fine, as well as Roll Over Beethoven and Act Natu-rally.

The band features Marty Zylstra as John, Nick Jones as Paul, Mike Coutts as George and Mike Herle as Ringo.

“Authenticity is extremely important to us,” Zylstra said. “We have gone to great lengths to learn each and every part of every song as accurately as possible to authenti-cally recreate this great music.

“We even use all the same gear that was originally used and the suits we wear are exact replicas of the actual suits worn by The Beatles.”

The Day Trippers take the stage at the GEM Theatre on Friday, Aug. 7 starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $2, and are available in advance at the GEM. Visits the theatre’s website at gemtheatre.net for more information.

Author appears at three Boundary locations for readingsThe Boundary is fortunate to host author Lily Iona MacKenzie, whose debut novel

Fling! has just hit bookshelves this month.Billed as a “wildly comic romp on mothers, daughters, art and travel,” Fling! should

appeal to a broad range of readers. “While the main characters are middle-aged and older, their zest for life would draw

readers of all ages, male or female, attracting the youthful adventurer in most people,” the author stated in a press release. ”The heart of the book is how they approach their aging selves and are open to new experiences.”

MacKenzie, born and raised in Alberta and now living in the San Francisco Bay area of California, will be signing books at Pharmasave on Friday, Aug. 7 from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

She will also appear at the Grand Forks and District Public Library on Saturday, Aug. 8 at 3 p.m., and later that day at the Christina Living Arts Centre at 7 p.m.

9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

On New Year’s Eve 1997, Katy Hutchison’s husband, Bob, was beaten to death while checking on a party being thrown by his neighbour’s son.

In the small town of Squa-mish in British Columbia, a wall of silence soon grew up around the murder. It was four years before Ryan Aldridge ad-mitted to having delivered the fatal blow. He was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to five years in prison.

Ryan has since been released from prison. He is employed and happily married with one child. Katy has since written a book called Walking After Mid-night: One Woman’s Journey Through Murder, Justice, and Forgiveness. For further in-formation you can visit Katy’s website katyhutchisonpresents.com/.

Katy HutchisonLess than an hour after Bob

was murdered, I stood in the emergency ward beside his body, overwhelmed by a sense of peace, knowing that wher-ever Bob was now, it was much safer than the place he had just been.

Then I went home to tell my four-year-old twins, Emma and Sam, that their daddy was dead. I looked into their eyes and knew that I could not allow their lives to be-come dominated by their father’s death. I promised them and I promised myself that underneath the horror of what had just happened we would find a gift.

As for the rest of the com-munity, the code of silence be-gan that night. No one called the police, no one spoke out. The murder was devastating, but the silence from so many compounded the devastation. In the end, I chose to leave my community and return to the community I had grown up in.

Eventually, after four years, Ryan Aldridge was arrested. That same day, as I was leaving the police station, I spotted him on camera, alone in the inves-tigation room. The police had left the tape rolling and I stood and watched him falling apart. I didn’t want to leave him.

After his arrest, police offi-cers showed Ryan a video I’d made for him urging him to dig down deep to find the words to say, “I did this.” Four years of silence, grief and fear then fell away as he fulfilled my wish and confessed to the crime. Those words would begin the healing process for both of us.

He then stunned police by asking to meet me, and so, less than 24 hours after his arrest, I found myself face-to-face with the man who had murdered my husband. As he sobbed it was all I could do not to hold him. Second to the day I gave birth, it was probably the most human moment of my life.

Some time into Ryan’s sen-tence I discovered an incredible organization called Commu-nity Justice Initiatives that was able to organize a Victim-Of-fender Reconciliation between Ryan and I. It took place in the prison and lasted most of the day: we spoke about almost everything—our lives, our hob-bies, our families.

There were tears, there were long silences where neither of us had the words to fill the space. In that meeting I told Ryan that I had forgiven him.

I’ve been able to forgive Ryan because of the immense sympa-thy I have for his mother. I un-derstood her loss. We haven’t met yet but we write and I cher-ish her letters. Forgiveness isn’t easy. Taking tranquillizers and having someone look after your kids would probably be easier, but I feel compelled to do some-thing with Bob’s legacy.

I want to tell my story to

help change people’s percep-tions—and where possible I want to do this with Ryan by my side. I’ll never understand how our universes collided—but they did, and as Bob can’t make further contribution to society, then perhaps Ryan can.

Whether victim or perpe-trator, part of being human is rolling up our sleeves and tak-ing an active part in repairing harm.

Amelia and Sam have fully supported my choice to forgive Ryan, but others have asked, “How could you?” The way I saw it how could I not? My children had lost their father and I did not want them to lose me in the process. If I had been consumed by hatred, anger and vengeance, what kind of mother would I be? Something happened when Bob died and I found my voice. Forgiveness became an opportunity to cre-ate a new and hopeful begin-ning.

Looking back 17 years, I realize how dynamic the for-giveness experience has been. It changes shape; some days growing, others withering. It is heart work of the highest or-der. I am thankful to Ryan for making the very best of his life, moving forward and working hard to care for his family and contribute to his community.

But mostly I remain grateful

for the brave hearts of my now-adult children and my second husband Michael, who sup-ported my choice and trusted me on this uncharted journey of the heart.Ryan Aldridge

Katy’s forgiveness is the most incredible thing that anyone has ever given me. It changed my life. There’s trou-ble every day in prison, offers of drugs and threats of fights, but I don’t give in. My life would still be full of anger and violence if it wasn’t for Katy.

I grew up in a small town. I was bullied as a child but even-tually I started hanging around with a group whose lifestyle impressed me. For the first time I felt accepted. By the age of 16 we were experimenting with drink and drugs and the party-ing began.

Unfortunately I started get-ting into trouble with the lo-cal police and was involved in three separate alcohol-related car crashes. Separate to this, a good friend then died in a car accident which totally devas-tated me.

On New Year’s Eve 1997, a friend was throwing a party. His father was away. There

were over 150 guests, and with so much drugs and alcohol going around fights started breaking out.

When a stranger came up the stairs and asked us all to leave, my friend hit him. He fell to the ground

and I kicked him four times in the head. After that I moved on to another party, not knowing I’d made the worst mistake of my life.

Throughout the investiga-tion the secret of my crime be-gan to destroy me. I became depressed and introverted. I could well have committed sui-cide if, after four years, I hadn’t broken my silence. My family was devastated.

Having admitted my guilt, I wanted to apologize face-to-face for what had happened. So, within an hour of being ar-rested, I wrote a letter to Katy and her children, apologizing for what I’d done. I also asked a police officer if I could meet with Katy. I’d read about Katy in the papers but never expect-ed her forgiveness. If I put my-self in her shoes, I think I would have hated the person who had done what I’d done to her.

The big question I still ask myself is, “Why did you do this?” And I still can’t find an answer. Doing time is easy com-pared to the guilt I’ll have to live with for the rest of my life. But with Katy’s forgiveness—I hope that perhaps, one day, I’ll be able to forgive myself.

Ambulancesassist by both airand land

It’s a service you hope you or you loved ones won’t need, but you’re glad it’s there when you do.

Without a doubt, paramedics help save lives in Grand Forks and through-out B.C. Paramedics help stabilize pa-tients and get them ready for transport as needed.

Providing transportation for patients are ground ambulances as well as air ambulance, which are either fixed-wing (plane) or rotating (helicopter).

The Boundary region is covered by a helicopter dispatched out of Kelowna as needed.

Sunny Dhaliwal, executive director for provincial program for BC Emergen-cy Health Services (BCEHS), said the air and land ambulance programs are oper-ated by BCEHS.

Dhaliwal said the province has a total of nine air ambulances, five of which are fixed-wing and four which are rotating. All the air ambulances are contracted out and cover the whole province. They are located at various bases including Prince George, Richmond, Kelowna, Vancouver, Langley, Kamloops and Na-naimo.

“These nine aircraft have dedicated contracts which means they are solely meant for us,” said Dhaliwal. “In addi-tion, we have some service agreements with about 48 other ad-hoc service pro-viders. They are spread out around the province and we might use them three or four times a year.”

Dhaliwal said there are currently two fixed-wing airplanes based out of Kelowna and one rotary-wing in Kam-loops as well as others in the north and at the coast.

He added that although those are their bases, they can fly to anywhere in the province as needed.

“The aim is to make sure we are able to get the right patient at the right time with the right resources,” said Dhaliwal. “We work very closely with the attend-ing physicians and local facilities. By working very closely at all levels we are able to prioritize calls on a provincial

level and deliver the best care possible to our patients.”

Dhaliwal said the air ambulances moves approximately 7,500 patients per year, including 214 from the West Koo-tenay/Boundary and 35 from Grand Forks last year.

He said the aircraft come equipped with all the necessary equipment for the two Advanced Life Support paramedics to do their job.

Air ambulance cases are broken down into two distinct scenarios: auto-launch for trauma emergencies, and inter-facility transfers.

The auto-launch scenario is where an air ambulance is automatically sent to the scene of an emergency such as an accident on the highway.

“Auto-launch means even before we have the exact details of a patient but knowing there are potentially severe injuries, we could automatically launch the nearest helicopter at the time of the 911 call,” said Dhaliwal. “If the area was very remote we might send one of our ad-hoc contractors.” At the same time a ground ambulance is dispatched to the scene with local first responders to asses, treat and stabilize the pts. ready for air transport.

Interfacility transfers are when the air ambulances are used to move a patient to a higher level of care such as would be provided in Kelowna or Vancouver.

“In that case, the sending physician would get hold the patient transfer net-work and explain the condition of the patient, why the patient needs to be moved, the acuity of the patient and where the patient is going to be moved,” he said. “We would get a hold of the re-ceiving facility and discuss this…we would then determine how soon the pa-tient needs to move and the best way.”

Jeff Olsen is the local BCAS Unit Chief and he has seen first hand how ef-fective the air ambulances are at saving

lives.He said for the auto-launch emergen-

cies, the helicopters can land very close to the scene of the emergency in most cases.

“That’s the beauty of the program—arriving on the scene in the helicopter and meeting the local ambulance crew are two highly-trained, Advanced Life Support paramedics with advanced training in trauma stabilization,” said Olsen.

“So what we have now is the ability to treat patients with a much higher de-gree of care at the scene of an accident and have them at a trauma receiving facility in approximately 30 per cent or better of the usual time.”

Olsen said the helicopter will take those severely injured patients to a trau-ma centre where they will have imme-diate access to highly-trained, technical surgeons in various fields.

“The helicopter lands on the roof of the hospital in Kelowna,” he said.

Olsen estimates that over the last three years out of the Boundary area they’ve sent 15-20 trauma patients di-rectly to Kelowna hospital.

Grand Forks is 60 minutes from Ka-mloops by helicopter and the trauma-receiving hospital in Kelowna is 30 min-utes back.

Barriers to the program can be weath-er or resources are already dedicated to other events.

Auto-launch has been in B.C. since 2002 and in the Boundary since 2012. It has proved itself as saving lives with de-creased morbidity rates, decreased ICU stay times and overall improved out-comes to patients utilizing the program.

Boundary Hospital is also equipped with a helipad, capable of landing any size helicopter.

The helipad was made possible thanks to the generosity of the local Clif-ton family.

The season started on April 7 with an 18 hole scramble. The annual general meeting was held April 28 with a breakfast meeting and 18 hole scramble following. Cathy Manson, president, presided.

A silent auction was held and enjoyed by all. Linda McGrath, club captain, reported on the

zone meeting and welcomed new members Tina Flanagan, Ellen Legare and Marion Peterson.

All members were reminded to keep their scores posted as prizes for weekly games are based on members having current handicaps.

Fran Farnworth, match committee, awarded prizes for the scramble. The gift basket was won by Edna Kazakoff and there was a draw for door prizes. Winner of Money Grows on Trees pro-ceeds was Luise Valentine.

The ladies’ two-day Eclectic Tournament was held on May 12 - 13. The overall low gross was won by Connie Kostash; overall low net was Sha-ron Salmi. 1st Flight: low gross, Fran Farnworth; low net, Arlette Dunbar/Lynne Webster (tied). 2nd Flight: low gross, Ivy Walega; low net, Joie Lavallee. 3rd Flight: low gross, Cathy Manson; low net, Marilyn deWynter. KP winners were Cathy Manson and Linda Stewart.

Our second tournament of the year, our an-nual Tuesday Ladies Club Championship, was held June 16 - 17. Overall low gross was Fran Farnworth, shooting a 174; overall low net, (from our 3rd Flight) Carol McQuarrie with a 149.

Other winners were 1st Flight: low gross, Ar-lette Dunbar, 185; low net, Lynne Webster, 151. 2nd Flight: low gross, Audrey Whyte, 201; low net, Edna Kazakoff (in retro), 154. In 3rd Flight: low gross, Joie Lavallee, 211; low net, Ellen Le-gare, 152. 3rd Flight KPs were won by Carol Mc-Quarrie and Gillian James; 2nd Flight KP was won by Louisa Vachon; 1st Flight KP winner, Lynne Webster. Longest Putt on #18 was won by Edna Kazakoff.

Our windup luncheon meeting and scramble was held June 23. An Urban Fare gift basket was won by Luise Valentine and several other door prizes were awarded.

Seventeen ladies travelled to Castlegar June

30 to take part in a mini Canada Day tournament. The Tuesday Ladies Club was happy this year

to partner with the Christina Lake Men’s Club and the Christina Lake Retirees Club to donate funds for a new fountain on Hole 14. The club annually award prizes for ringer board, birdie tree and personal achievement with break 100, 90, and 80 pins, eagle and hole in one pins.

We have weekly birdie and par pots, based on handicaps and a Money Grows on Trees pot. Games we have played in the first half include Luck of the Draw, Least Putts and Dice Game Re-versed.

Please contact Fran Farnworth for more in-formation at 250-447-6150 or email [email protected].

Tuesday Morning Ladies bylaws are based on friendly competition and good communication and we welcome new members. We resume our fall season on Sept. 1.

On Sunday, July 19, a mixed group, ages and gender, of putative cricketers came together in Grand Forks City Park.

A game of two innings for each team was held for this second cricket event.

“This gave all batsmen/batswomen a chance to demonstrate their improvement—in some cases it seemed to be a lost cause; nevertheless, there was much laughter plus minor disap-pointment,” said Nigel James, one of the event’s organizers.

The final score was 21 runs, which included three extras, to 16—very close, exciting and rewarding, he reported.

There was only one “6” – scored by newcom-er Doug. The remainder of the runs were scored by running. A “6” is the equivalent of a home run in baseball; the ball does not hit the ground before it has cleared the boundary line. “It has been rumoured that Doug once played for the U.S.A.; however, we really doubt it,” James said.

Sculpting event Aug. 2.The Christina Lake Recre-

ation Commission is sponsor-ing the annual Sand Sculpture Event at the Christina Lake Public Beach on Sunday, Aug. 2 from 9:30 to 12:30 p.m.

Pack up the family, gather up the shovels, buckets and sculpturing tools and spend a few hours on Sunday morning at the beach. Each participant will receive a gift that has been generously donated by many business-es of Christina Lake. Be water smart

The Grand Forks Aquatic Centre will be closed for B.C. Day, Monday, Aug 3. If you are planning to spend some time in and around the water this B.C. Day weekend, GFREC encour-ages you to be water smart.

Angela Furey-Demas

June 11, 1944 – August 25, 2015

Passed away suddenly in Grand Forks, British Colum-

bia, Angela Furey-Demas for-merly of Avondale, Conception

Bay, Newfoundland. Angela’s brilliant and creative

mind earned her highest academic scholarships to pursue teacher education at St. Bride’s College and Memorial University of NL.

Angela’s teaching career spanned 37 years through-out Newfoundland, Ontario and Alberta. Although she began her teaching career as a junior high teacher, Angela devoted most of her passion for teaching early childhood and primary children. Angela retired in September 2001 to spend more time with her family and in 2008 she and her husband Kevin Demas moved to Grand Forks, B.C. to enjoy the climate, golfi ng, and gardening.

Angela is predeceased by her father Arthur Furey, infant siblings Mary and William, sister-in-law Jenny Furey and fi rst husband Frank Morgan. She is survived by her husband and soul mate, Kevin Demas, mother (Anastasia Furey), daughter (Michele Nichols), siblings Beth, Edith, Mary (Brian), Art (Karen), Gerard (Pat), Harold (Agnes), Pad (Sharon), and Nick (Bernadette), her special grand children (Anastasia Nichols, Zachary Patterson, Paige Lawson-Demas and Bailey, Montana, Nathaniel and Nick Demas) as well as a large circle of nieces, cousins and friends. Viewing was held in the Chapel of Grand Forks Funeral Home on Tuesday, July 28 at 2:00 p.m., Grand Forks, B.C.

A funeral mass will take place at Assumption church, Avondale, Newfoundland in September.

Flowers gratefully accepted or donations in Angela’s memory may be made to the Heart & Stroke Founda-tion or Alzheimer’s Society.

Angela was a kind wonderful person who truly loved life. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts, thoughts, prayers and memories.

Some would say yesIs our nation

on a slippery mor-al slope? Some would say yes. Is our society moving forward, becoming more enlightened on social and indi-vidual standards of behaviour? Some would say yes.

My wife and I cannot agree on the colour of one of the walls in our house. To her it is green; I say that it is definitely blue. It is probably a blend of the two colours, but we have definite opinions on which colour dominates. We even ask people for their opinions—is it blue or green? We haven’t kept a tally on people’s opinions, but, even if we did, it wouldn’t change either one of our opinions on the nature of the colour.

Many issues that face the voting public are just that way. One person looks at the issue, say from a human rights point of view, while another looks at it from the perspective of personal values. All the votes in the country, or a decision by the judges, does not affect the way that a per-son views an issue.

The voters make their choice, the judges make their decisions, and society moves on. What difference does it make, as long as we all have jobs, decent homes to live in, ad-equate medical care, transportation, Internet, etc?

The view from the pulpit is not the same as the view from the crowd, and I do mean crowd and not pew. When the crowd persuad-ed Pilot to crucify the Son of God, Pilot’s wife had tried to warn him in a message saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him.”

The majority ruled, but the action was corrupted. Does the voice of the majority define righteousness? If the majority is ill-informed or cor-

ruptly motivated has the prevail-ing social action benefited society? Does pleasing the crowd mean that God is pleased?

“Whereas Can-ada is founded

upon the principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law:” (1982 Constitution Act) is how the Canadian constitution reads in its preamble. It would sug-gest that the pleasure of God should not be in conflict with the laws of our country. Indeed it would sug-gest that the laws of this land should flow out of God’s good judgment and loving concern (for God is love) for the well being of Canadians.

Could any guidance for voters and law-makers be greater than this? For those who would listen to the Creator, would not God’s thoughts, oracles, and command-ments provide the grit that would keep our nation safely on the road to righteousness, and consequently, as the proverb states, greatness and not reproach? (Proverbs 14:34)

But as Paul points out: “Even though they knew God, they did not honour him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools…God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper….” What benefit for this na-tion, what guidance for our young people, can flow from foolishness and depravity?

“Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.” (Psalm 72:1) I pray that these words, engraved in stone over the south-facing window of the Peace Tower, will echo in the hearts and minds of every voter as we mark our X in the up-coming federal election. Let’s lay a grit strip!

z View From The Pulpit

MARTIN FROMMEExecutive Elder,Greenwood Evangel Chapel

A local Rotarian is heading to Af-rica to help with a project to bring fresh drinking water to several vil-lages in the Musembe area of Ke-nya.

Terry McGauley will be there from Aug. 5 - 15 helping to provide technical and administrative guid-ance for the project.

McGauley is a consulting civil/environmental engineer and was brought into the project because of his expertise.

“I got involved when Khayanga Wasike (project manager) asked for assistance knowing I had the exper-tise and since I had worked with her on getting the community resource centre functioning,” he said.

“One of the major reasons I got involved was that I felt there was a

serious need for the water supply system for these villages and that I could make a meaningful contribu-tion.”

This is the first major volunteer project for McGauley although he has been involved with other ma-jor international projects. He is also the technical advisor to the Rotary Foundation on water and sanitation projects undertaken in various loca-tions in the world.

Currently, the area has no water supply system and subsequently has very poor water quality. During the wet season people collect water in containers from shallow wells and slews.

The area has a population den-sity of 490 people per square kilo-metre. There are 10,300 people in 19 villages with 60 per cent of those under 20.
