A response letter from the Grand Forks Figure Skating Club board of directors to the Gazette on Monday clarifi ed that the club has not “folded” or offi cially disbanded as reported on the front page of Feb. 17 Gazette.

The directors stated that, “As a result of the resignation of the coach, the club can-celled the remaining skating sessions for the season. The issues between the board and the coach are in the process of being re-solved.“

In the lead paragraph for the Feb. 17 story, it said that “…the Grand Forks Figure Skat-ing Club has offi cially disbanded.” The third paragraph quotes a post from board member

Robert Black stating: “Coach Diane Tubrett has withdrawn her agreement to provide coaching services to the club effective imme-diately. This has left the board with only one option: further skating sessions are cancelled for the rest of the season.”

Monday’s letter went on to say that the club will not be issuing full refunds, “How-ever, there will be refunds for skating ses-sions not provided.” In the Feb. 17 story, a parent was paraphrased as saying “She did say that they have been told they will receive a full refund.”

The letter states that the club is “current-ly active” and an annual general meeting is planned for 1 p.m. on April 9 at the Grand Forks Library meeting room. All members are welcome to attend.

Skating club not ‘folded’

According to sources who attended, it was yet another contentious public hearing at the

Lake on last Tuesday, Feb. 16, regarding the proposed senior’s housing project. Between 70 and 80 members of the public were in at-tendance. The project would see a single, two-storey building with studio, one bed-

room and two bedroom units for seniors on park land property by Christina Creek.

Many who are opposed to the project feel that it is being pushed through without proper consultation and in disregard for the Lake’s Offi cial Community Plan. Christina Lake resident Johnathan Oldroyd was not at the meeting but he did submit a 35-page report to MLA Linda Larson as well as it the regional manager of BC Parks.

The report begins by stating that: “The following analysis and opinion represents the viewpoint of a sig-nifi cant portion, perhaps the majority, of the population of Christina Lake and I urge you to consider the content of this submission carefully.”

Oldroyd then described the property as being the former Sandner Sawmill property, which was sold to the Crown in 1989 for park purposes and which in-cluded all of the P1 (park and recreational zone) con-servancy area from the highway along Christina Creek to the south.

“The legal description of the subject property is pri-marily a fragment of DL 750 and the remainder of DL 498,” he writes. Oldroyd states that the licence (No. 404062) was granted on June 1, 2008 for a term of 10 years. “This licence was granted in section 2.1 for ‘com-munity park purposes’ and acknowledged ‘non-exclu-sive use and occupancy’ upon the condition contained in section 4.1(c)(i) that the RDKB ‘observe, abide by and comply with all applicable laws, bylaws, order…of any government authority having jurisdiction in any way affect the RDKB’s use or occupation of the land or the improvements.’”

Under Offi cial Community Plan (OCP), Oldroyd states, “All of the land which is the subject of the licenc-es is designated as environmentally sensitive waterfront as defi ned in the OCP being bylaw 1250 and dated Sept. 30, 2004.

1916: Bridge built across Kettle near Gilpin1906

In the city health re-port for 1905 there were 92 cases of typhoid re-corded with two deaths, nine cases of chicken-pox and 22 cases of measles — no deaths were recorded for either sickness.1911

A lengthy discussion on the meter sys-tem, in connection with the sale of elec-tricity, was settled by the council. Meters would be placed in the residences of all consumers.1916

A 185-foot bridge was built across the Kettle River, near Gilpin, to accommo-date the ranchers living on the other side.1921

E.D. Sheringham, on a visit to Grand Forks after some 30 years, remarked on the town’s change and considerable im-provement. Old landmarks were gone as he tried to locate the log cabin where he lived on the North Fork.1926

CPR went into construction of a $20,000 steel bridge across the North Fork of the Kettle River near the Hum-mingbird crossing.1931

The rate of tax levy for the city was raised to $35 million, fi ve more than the past several years.1936

The wasting of water became a seri-ous problem locally so that the city had to send out a special man to investigate water usage by residents.1941

Dr. Geo. H. Acres, a well-known vet-erinary surgeon and former mayor, died in Penticton at the age of 59.1945

City council granted $2,000 for the hospital fund. The provincial govern-ment announced it would provide anoth-er $15,000 if the local community could

put up $15,000.1951

Grand Forks tele-phone users set a new record in local and long distance calling for 1950.1956

129 babies were born in the Grand Forks Hospital in 1955.1961

Nastia Hadikin of Crescent Valley and Peter and Mary Astaforoff of Grand Forks appeared in court charged with ar-son.1971

Alex Kootnekoff of Grand Forks was a member of the British Columbia hockey team participating in the Canada Games, which came to an end in Saskatoon last weekend.1976

Grand Forks Rural Ratepayers Associ-ation have asked the Dept. of Highways to put in a temporary bridge to replace the single-lane Carson bridge which has been closed for over fi ve months.1981

Council has designated the down-town area of the city for a revitalization project, the fi rst step for initiating im-provements under the provincial assis-tance program for Downtown Revital-ization.1986

Over 100 photographs were submit-ted to The Gazette’s Heritage Photo-graph Contest. The grand prize winner is Minnie Biddlecomb, with her entry of a photograph of the interior of the Gran-by Smelter in 1918.1991

Leo Mills, a resident of Grand Forks for 83 years, was named the 1990 Citizen of the Year. Mills, 85, was presented with a plaque at the Chamber of Commerce civic awards banquet Saturday night.1996

A report, prepared for Boundary Economic Action Team (BEAT) and the

Boundary Economic Development Com-mission, said the airport could support emergency air services year-round. It was recommended that the airport be developed to the fullest technical and economic limits.2001

Grand Forks lost a little history this week and now that it’s gone, nobody’s sure what it was in the fi rst place.

Crews demolished a building behind the courthouse: the concrete block stood about 12 feet long and seven feet wide with a decayed roof about seven feet high. Government Agent Dan Martin said the structure was apparently from the 1960s, speculating that it was a bomb shelter for the nuclear threat of the time. The two-foot thick walls defi nitely lent themselves to the concept, as did the bare, cold interior.

The B.C. Building Commission re-cords, however, show the building had actually been used as a munitions stor-age depot by the provincial police before it handed jurisdiction over to the RCMP on Aug. 15, 1950. Its full history remains a mystery.2006

GFSS graduate Scott Alan deWynter-Wilkie posed for a photograph with B.C. Lieutenant Governor Iona Campag-nolo and Premier Gordon Campbell; deWynter-Wilkie, along with 16 other recipients from around the province, was presented with the Premier’s Excel-lence Award in recognition of academic excellence and outstanding community service.2011

There’s a good possibility water me-ters will be coming to your homes in the near future. According to the city’s Man-ager of Technical Services and Utilities Sasha Bird, meters will be phased in.

The proposal to send an application to the province for funding to pay for the installation of the meters was put through at a council meeting earlier in February.

Scared Silly...

Big talk about little thingsWhat started as a small circle of chairs in anticipation of a cozy group talking about small hous-ing turned into an overflow of chairs as some 70 people showed up at a presentation last week of the Grand Forks and District Public Library’s “Let’s Talk…” series. Facilitated by designer/builder Peter Matheson, the conversation focused on small housing, downsizing, cluster housing and eco-zoning; it prompted a large variety of questions ranging from zoning to heating to cost. The conversation is just getting started, Matheson confirmed. Della Mallette photo

Drought not likely this summer

This year is a far cry from last year when it comes to snow. Although it has been milder recently, the Boundary received a great deal of snow in No-vember, December and January, much to the delight of skiing fans and other outdoor enthusiasts.

In fact, according to the B.C. River Forecast Centre, the Boundary’s snow basin is at 114 per cent of normal as of Feb. 1.

Environment Canada meteorologist Matt MacDonald said that the last week in the Southern Interior has been very mild with daytime highs approaching 8° and 9° C. “That’s a full four to five degrees warmer than normal. That’s quite typical for El Nino,” he said. “It is a record strong El Nino this winter. The way this winter started out, I think a lot of people were wondering where El Nino was. But it’s actually quite text-book the way it’s played out.”

MacDonald said the effects of El Nino are usually not felt until mid-Jan-uary. “It was actually right on sched-ule,” he said. “Jan. 15 we saw our first atmospheric river, or as people more commonly refer to it as, the pineap-ple express. Since then it’s been very mild. Looking at Cranbrook (the clos-est weather station to Grand Forks) it’s been three degrees warmer over the last 30 days.”

A pineapple express is a strong feed of tropical moisture originating from the vicinity of Hawaii hence the name tropical. MacDonald says it’s a very strong and steady jet stream that sets up between 24 ad 48 hours and deliv-ers copious amounts of rain as well as heat. “So very high freezing levels,” he said.

El Nino is warmer than normal ocean temperatures down in the equi-torial Pacific. “When we look at how warm or cold the ocean is near the equator in the Pacific Ocean—this year is much warmer than usual,” said Mac-Donald. “In fact, it’s the warmest it’s been in the last 65 years since El Nino records first began in 1950.”

MacDonald says that means that B.C. can expect warmer than normal conditions. “As far as precipitation,

there’s really not a strong, consistent signal,” he said. “If you look at histori-cally strong El Ninos there are winters when it’s been wetter than normal and there are winters where it’s been dryer than normal. So you can’t say whether it will be dryer or wetter because it’s El Nino but we can say with confidence than El Nino winters are warmer than normal and the spring will most likely be warmer than normal as well.”

MacDonald said El Nino peaked at the end of January and is slowly start-ing to fizzle. He added there is good consensus from the various climate models that B.C. will enter neutral mode for ocean temperatures.

“If you think of what we can ex-pect in spring, well it’s typically a bit of everything,” he said. “People say, hey is winter over, can I put away my shovel and take off my snow tires? I would say not yet. We’ll be into an-other warm system this week and we’ll see day time highs of 8° and 9° C. The old saying ‘March comes in like a lion’ is so true. You can expect anything in March, be it heavy rain or heavy snow and an arctic outbreak may not be out of the question.”

Enjoy the mild weather which will most likely continue into spring and summer, says MacDonald. “Weather being what it is, is highly variable.”

MacDonald said with the increased snowpack it doesn’t look like the Boundary will have a repeat of the drought conditions from last year. “Last summer was kind of the perfect storm for a drought,” he said. “We had little to no snow in the alpine and re-cord dry weather in April and May. So we had no snow to melt and no water falling from the sky. This year we already have higher than normal snowpack in the mountains. Inevi-tably we’re losing some slowly with these warmer temperatures and high freezing levels but as we get into the spring, people next ask the potential flooding.”

MacDonald said there are lots of different factors that come into play before determining the chance of flooding. “I say with confidence I don’t think drought will be a factor this year taking into consideration how well set up we are,” he said.

CRAIG LINDSAYGrand Forks Gazette

CRA scammers don’t quitRCMP and the Canada

Revenue Agency (CRA) raise awareness about ongoing email and phone scams.

Recently a citizen of Grand Forks was contacted by a scammer who posed as an agent for the CRA, reported Sgt. Jim Fenske of the Grand Forks RCMP Detachment. The scammer demanded money for back taxes, fines and a fee. The scammer told the citizen that the RCMP would be contacting the citi-zen if he did not pay.

Later the citizen got a phone call using the Grand Forks RCMP phone number on his call display. “These scammers are using the RCMP phone number as a form of intimidation. This is a scam,” Fenske said.

The scammers tell taxpay-ers that they either owe mon-ey to the CRA or have a tax refund. Taxpayers are threat-ened with arrest or jail time if they do not take immediate action and provide money or

personal or financial informa-tion.

“The CRA takes these matters very seriously and provides substantial informa-tion to Canadians about how to protect themselves from scams undertaken using the CRA’s name. Informing your-self is particularly important during the tax filing season, when such scams peak,” said the Honourable Diane Leb-outhillier, Minister of Nation-al Revenue, in a press release last week.

This information, includ-ing examples of real scam telephone calls and e-mails, can be easily found on the CRA web site.

“Scammers are always looking for new ways to get your money or your personal information,” warned As-sistant Commissioner Todd Shean, who leads the RCMP’s Federal Policing Special Ser-vices. “The RCMP works ev-ery day to track down fraud-sters and bring them to justice, but raising awareness about fraud is also important as it is

one of the most effective ways of protecting Canadians from scammers. The more you know about a specific fraud, the less likely you’ll be a vic-tim of that fraud.”

The RCMP plays a crucial role in educating the public about scams, and has a num-ber of programs in place to track fraud, including one run by the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC).

To confirm the authentic-ity of a call, contact the CRA by using its official telephone number for individual tax en-quiries: 1-800-959-8281. You can also verify your individ-ual tax account through a se-cure CRA portal: My Account.

If you believe you may be the victim of fraud or have given personal or financial information in error, contact your local police service and your financial institution.

The Grand Forks RCMP Detachment has free booklets to give away which contain lots of information regarding the popular scams, Fenske added.

Having proper senior’s housing in the Boundary is a very important issue. Our pop-ulation is aging. We are also a popular desti-nation for retirees with our great weather and beautiful setting. It’s important that we have enough affordable housing for all.

The senior’s housing project in Christina Lake; however, has become a very conten-tious issue that has split the community.

There have been two public hearings at the community hall there since Christmas that have had 70-80 people out voicing their opin-ions.

Those opposed say it is a violation of the Official Community Plan and will take away a very important park, which grants access to the creek and the lake itself.

Fortunately, the powers that be have decid-ed to step back and not make any decisions until a park management plan can be formu-lated.

It’s important to remember that even af-ter many years, the senior’s housing project is still in its infancy. Anything involved isn’t cheap and requires many hoops and barrels to go through and around.

HOW TO REACH US

The past can make us richer today

I’m sure everyone would agree that history is important in that there are lessons to be learned from the past. We don’t pay enough attention, though, and we seem doomed to repeat many of those mistakes.

Some people become interest-ed in history just simply because it’s fascinating seeing the differ-ences from yesteryear to today. Some people don’t care much at all.

My friend Rita, with whom I travelled to Europe last sum-mer, doesn’t watch TV or read newspapers—she’s happy liv-ing in the “now” and not wor-rying about what’s happening in the news. When I first recon-nected with Rita a few years ago, I couldn’t understand that. After

she explained that she’s a third-time survivor of cancer, I got it.

However, seeing historical sites on our trip was something that impacted us both. The me-dieval town of Provins, about an hour by train from Paris, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001 and here we wandered for hours marvelling at the buildings dating back to the 11th century.

The narrow streets, the city wall, the imposing but beautiful castle—apparently Provins is not that unique, but it certainly gave us an idea of how town life has changed.

Standing on the crater of Mount Vesuvius and looking out over the lush fields and Gulf of Naples laid out below us was mind-blowing. Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in AD 79 that led to the burying and destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and several other settlements. To see the lushness of the area, but to

know that it’s considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, made us think of how a natural disaster wiped out—and could so easily again—tens of thousands of people, perhaps hundreds of thousands.

We visited the ruins of Pom-peii, the “touristy” section at least. The whole site is several kilometres wide and we weren’t quite that ambitious. But to see the foundations of buildings such as the bath house (but not the snack bar/store, of course), to see areas under excavation to this day, brought it home to us B.C. girls that what we take a lot for granted—private bathrooms for one!

Both the Boundary Histori-cal Society and the Boundary Museum and Interpretive Cen-tre do an amazing job of high-lighting history in the Boundary and beyond, from conflict and hardship to transportation and housing. I attended the historical society’s anniversary luncheon

Saturday and I not only learned something, I was certainly enter-tained.

From an individual’s life, we can learn. Society president Les Johnson gave a vignette of a video session—a “living book”—with long-time resident Frank Wolfram. Years ago, the horses would be brought down to the town to winter, I learned; I’m sure Mr. Wolfram has much more to say in the video and I hope one day to watch it all. Frank Wolfram passed away shortly after making the video.

Far less poignant but interest-ing nonetheless was the draft of a presentation about the Camp McKinney robbery of 1896. What a fascinating story! The take-away? There’s gold in them thar hills! The gold bars stolen in the infamous robbery were never re-covered.

I reckon history can teach us, it can enlighten us, and it can make us richer—in more ways than one!

Opinion

Letters to the editor A winter nostalgiaFor the last three years, I have done what so many snowbirds do and

have “escaped” Canadian winters by spending them under a palm tree in Mexico.

The predictable landscapes of cold, grey and cloistered living have eagerly been exchanged for blue skies, sunshine and sandal-friendly temper-atures. Natural year-round rhythms of life “alfresco”—bikes, mopeds, outdoor kitchens, art studios, patios, hammocks, umbrellaed shade, mar-kets, fishing boats, street festivals and parades, blooming bougainvillea, rip-ening coconuts—all are perennial features of a southern, tropical clime. But while the local population may take this way of life for granted, the northerners are out there con gusto, from sun-up walks on the beach to sunset margaritas on the rooftop terrace—mindful of what they have left behind back north.

Curiously, after three years, a nostalgia for what I had left behind had grown and I wanted to give myself a chance to re-experience a Canadian winter. I was feeling disconnected from my Canadian roots, almost like I was betraying my identity as a northerner by slipping into the ease of southern living We are a hardy stock, we Canadians, and we take irra-tional pride in owning our unfriendly winters and unhuggable terrain. We can withstand what others cannot and we’ve learned how to nudge beauty out of harsh landscapes and “God’s frozen people.” I was game to put the parka back on again, and rejoin my compatriots this year!

Yes, after two months of reliving a Canadian winter, there is much to appreciate about the experience and to admire about my fellow Cana-dian’s toughness. The hunkering down process of stockpiling provisions and diversions to heat, clothe, feed and amuse ourselves while house-bound has a particular appeal to it knowing we can take some smug satis-faction in being a self-sufficient lot! And we take special care in preparing things that may help to warm a long winters night —strings of white lights, candles, firelight, an assortment of teas and soup recipes. Cocoon-ing in the evenings with a good book, a film or a friend are the ultimate consolation prizes of enduring inhospitable weather. And those projects you have always wanted to finish—the quilt, the woodcarving, writing that book, learning that Beethoven sonata? There’s not a better time to do it than when you are well and deep into hibernation.

Then there is the joy of knowing that when you do venture outside, all those colourful woollen hats, mitts and sturdy fur-topped boots which you have dug out of your trusty winter chest will serve you well on the trails and give you a sense of communion with other winter hardy folk.

But without a doubt, there is nothing on earth as peaceful, as magi-cal as being wrapped in a full-on snowfall. When the world of industrial grey and unending dull evergreen around you succomb to an unrelent-ing wash of white, and by morning, you are knee-deep on a snow Rus-sian steppe, waiting for Omar Shariff to arrive. How precious the time to embrace this world before the “vast and soundless similitude that in-terlocks all” (thank you, Walt Whitman!) disappears under the blades of shovels, blowers, plows..... and rain and warming air, and the return of the ubiquitous grey fog, and a world that just wants to get back on its feet again. Those spells happen so seldom now—with global warming, winters have become less intense and more middling in nature. Now the rare time-stopping snowfalls are couched in days, weeks, even months of uneventful weather.

And while our winters have been particularly affected, you could say the same about all our seasons now; with a 90-day spring, summer or fall season, it seems that only 20 days in any of them are legitimately seasonal in character. Are true white northern winters in the Boundary a thing of the past? Will our nostalgia for four distinct seasons remain a yearning for something that can never be re-experienced? I suppose there could be worse things than what is shaping up to be a 120-day long spring!

In 1947, Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Crans-ton) was Hollywood’s top screenwriter until he and other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs. TRUMBO (directed by Jay Roach) recounts how Dalton used words and wit to win two Academy

Awards and expose the absurdity and injustice of the blacklist, which entangled everyone from gossip columnist Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren) to John Wayne, Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger. The fi lm also stars Diane Lane, John Goodman, Louis C.K., Elle Fanning, and Michael Stuhlbarg.

Wildlife is harming no one

Stay on trails, show respect

Editor, The Gazette: Well, it has made the head-

lines. The Deer Committee has been dissolved and none too soon. It was a total fiasco from the very beginning.

This valley has been the deer’s winter range for a millennium of years. They do not respect any boundar-ies and go where they please and need no tracking device to find their way yet there are deer still roaming with

those damn devices draped about their necks. To me that is unadulterated cruelty and must be removed now if not sooner. Those that instituted this should have them placed about their necks and left there until they fall off as they claim they shall eventually.

Neither do I see how they will fall off they are bolted on and serving no purpose but chafing the poor creature’s neck raw.

No doubt it cost money to have them installed and it will cost money to have them removed. The taxpayer should not be held to account. Those that instituted this program should be held accountable to suffer the cost.

Let the wildlife go free. They are harming nothing and no one.

F. Duralia, Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette:The Grand Forks ATV

Club continues to work hard promoting responsible use of the environment and respect for wildlife.

Morrissey Creek, Lost Lake and Nature Trust Property, all located close to Grand Forks, are great examples of areas where responsible use of the environment and respect for wildlife are happening each day. Many users stay on the trail enjoying the area while observing the many spe-cies that can be found on the southern facing slopes.

This is a sensitive area receiving the benefits of early snow melt warming the soil supporting growth of native grasses and flowers which provide the wildlife much needed sustenance. This early spring condition unfortu-nately draws some that enjoy going off trails and mud bog-

ging, activities that are very damaging to the environment and many wildlife species.

How best to try and curtail this activity? New regulations to the Off Road Vehicle Act re-quiring registration and a de-cal or plate to be placed on all off road vehicles will indeed help identify the few that seek the destructive activity of go-ing off trail or mud bogging.

More enforcement by RCMP or Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations would help but en-forcement should only be used when education has failed or been ignored.

Would fencing reduce the temptation or just increase the resolve? Perhaps if there was a recognized location where activities such as hill climbs and mud bogging could be encouraged. Would this help if located in an area where this would not affect the environ-

ment and wildlife? You can help by staying on

the trails, showing respect for the environment and wildlife, big or small, and by talking to your children and setting a good example. If you see folks succumbing to tempta-tion, take a picture and send or drop off the information to the RCMP, who have the tools to deal with repeat offenders, or call TIPS 1-844 NRO-TIPS (676-8477) and the RAPP line 1-877-952-7277.

Regarding public dirt roads, there are a few of these roads that have been desig-nated public roads due to folks living on them. The Off Road Act does not legally al-low off road vehicles to travel on these roads. The first 720 metres of Morrissey Forest Service Road is a public road. If you drive on this section of road you can receive fines.

We need a ‘community day’Editor, The Gazette:

Glad greetings and good news for everyone! Winter is on the wane and spring is on the way! It won’t be long before the long warm sunny days are here to stay.

Even so, one might say that we are still stuck in the middle of the season of our discontent in the City of Grand Forks.

Various city and civic actions and events have cast a black pall over the community in recent years: like a black cloud blotting out the sun in our happy little valley.

At times it seems as though the community is suffering from a general malaise like the common cold or a flu epidem-ic leading to an unhappy and

unhealthy state of affairs. A kind of communal illness that goes beyond skin and bones right into the heart and soul of ourselves and our society.

Some of the symptoms of this common disease include anguish and anxiety, anger and frustration, suspicion and mistrust and other worries

and woes. Suffice to say this situation has had quite a detrimental effect upon the emotional, psy-chological, spiritual health and wellbeing of many residents as well as the city as a whole.

It’s fair to say that the long grey gloomy days of winter also have a negative and detrimental effect on one’s health, happiness and well being in general. Some of the most common ailments of the season include lethargy and lack of exercise, seclusion and isolation, overeating, overdrink-ing, oversleeping, low spirits, irritability and even depression. Good personal health and wellness is always a challenge in the dark cold days in the depths of winter.

So what are we to do? Is there some remedy or recourse that could be helpful? Something more pleasant, palatable and beneficial in this case? There isn’t any simple answer; no magic pill or marvelous elixir that can cure all of the ills of society or humanity. Perhaps all we need is a good “spring tonic.” A liberal libation of something to strengthen and revitalize the constitution. Some-thing that will warm our hearts and raise our spirits in the midst of this mishmash of matters.

What is the answer? A proposal for the devel-opment of a community day in late February or March. A spring fling may be just the thing needed to put us on the road to recovery. This event could be the first steps on the pathway leading to restora-tion of peace and tranquility, balance and harmony, goodwill and grace and hope and joy needed for a fresh start in the new year.

Spring is the time for revival and renewal when the whole world returns to life with a great burst of energy and enthusiasm. A “celebration of spring” would lead us out of the dreary days of winter into the warm, sunny days of spring with a bright shiny future waiting just around the bend.

Any responses on the subject may be forwarded to myself at 7610 22nd Ave., Grand Forks, or phone 250-442-3023.

Thank you for helping coupleEditor, The Gazette:

You may recollect the front page article in the Gazette a few weeks ago about the devastating house fire experienced by pensioners Kevin and Kathleen Coughlan, whose poor health was exac-erbated by this frightful trauma.

Their neighbours are to be applauded for show-ing true community spirit in the days immediately following this fire. I don’t know the names of most of them; but I would like to commend Rosemary Phillips, in particular, for giving them somewhere to eat and sleep for a few days.

Also I would like to thank those members of the community at large who came into the Credit Union to make a financial contribution.

So far over $1,200 has been donated and it will definitely help in easing the pain of their loss. It is never too late to add to this amount and it would be very much appreciated. Please mention to the staff at the Grand Forks Credit Union that you wish to make a donation to the special account set up in my name for Kevin and Kathleen Coughlan.

On behalf of Kevin and Kathleen, I would like to thank all the agencies involved in helping them during these last few weeks, and to you in the community who have contributed in some form or other to help alleviate some of the stress incurred in this tragic event.

ronments in the park and one of the most desirable swimming areas on the property shoreline.”

Grace McGregor, Christina Lake/Area C director for the RDKB, told the Gazette Monday that she would be asking at the next RKDB board meeting for a deferral of any decision regarding the senior’s hous-ing project.

“I will be requesting deferral of any de-cision on this until we have a chance to do a park management plan,” said McGregor. “We’re feeling that people haven’t read all the information and don’t have all the in-formation. We think it’s important to have a plan in place and that will then involve more public conversation.”

McGregor said the input received at the hearing was both positive and negative to-wards the project. “At the end of the day, the senior’s housing committee wants the community to completely understand what they’ve done and what the information is and they would like to see a park manage-ment plan in place,” she said.

McGregor would not comment on what the timelines behind a park management plan would be or who would formulate it until it had gone to the RDKB board.

A former RDKB Area C director, Joe Tatangelo, said it would be a shame to lose that parkland so close to the creek. “It’s a nice park and people use it and all of sud-den they want to put senior’s housing there with no information,” he said. “We have hardly any information on what they’re go-ing to do and how they’re going to do it.”

Tatangelo said he is not opposed to se-nior’s housing but adds that when you rezone a piece of parkland you open it up for development. “If the senior’s housing group doesn’t have enough money, then what happens?” he said. “Then it’s rezoned for parkland for seniors housing. That means someone else could come in and take over. We don’t want it in the parkland, period. There are plenty of other properties at Christina Lake that could be used.”

Tatangelo said there are many different species of animals that use the parkland. “We want to protect it,” he said. “I don’t think that’s the place to put it. There are an-imals and birds that use it. That’s the only piece of parkland that people can get to that’s accessible to the lake. We don’t want to lose that accessibility.”

Tatangelo added that he and his prede-cessor Ron Walker worked hard to protect the park. “We started on the trails building the benches and now they’re trying to lose the park,” he said. “We worked like heck to keep that park pristine for the people to use, walk through and enjoy it and have ac-cess to the creek and the lake. Now we’re in danger of losing it.”

Kathy O’Malley, president of the Chris-tina Lake Seniors Housing Society, told the Gazette that they appreciate the level of engagement in the process. “This is the fifth iteration of a plan for seniors housing at Christina Lake,” she said. “This plan is based on all the input of the community from the previous proposals. We have a commitment to listen and we have listened. That’s why the society has recommended that the RDKB undertake a park manage-ment plan as part of the scheduled OCP development.”

O’Malley said the society will continue to engage in community processes with the goal of having affordable housing at the Lake.

McGregor’s deferral request is expected to be heard by the board at the next meeting of the RDKB Thursday in Trail.

IT’S A JOURNEY. GO THE DISTANCE.

With an annual operating defi -cit of over $93,000 for the airport over the last three years, council is looking at asking the RDKB to pony up for fi nancial support for the Grand Forks Airport.

At the regular council meet-ing on Feb. 15, council received a report from Dan Drexler, deputy manager of operations, and dis-

cussed a draft letter to the Region-al District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) from the deputy manager of operations about seeking fi nan-cial support for the airport.

The letter states: “The City of Grand Forks is seeking fi nancial support from the RDKB regarding the operation of the area airport, as it provides considerable servic-es to the regional district.”

The correspondence also in-cludes data for medevac use at the

airport. In 2009 there were a total of 23 fl ights; in 2010 – 20 fl ights; 2011 – 26 fl ights; 2012 – 27 fl ights; 2013 – 21 fl ights; 2014 – 35 fl ights with 25 daytime fl ights; and 2015 – 42 fl ights includ-ing 27 daytime fl ights.

In 2014 and 2015, the airport saw a large in-crease above the previous average (23.4 from 2009-13) for medevac

fl ights for the airport with 35 and 42 respectively. Some ambulance transports from far away as Cres-ton and Kaslo have utilized the Grand Forks Airport in the past.

While the Castlegar airport sees an average of 40 per cent weather-related cancellations with a high of 61 per cent (Janu-ary 2010) for fl ights during the winter. Grand Forks’ weather and airport location historically has been much more favourable with an annual average of 15 per cent cancellations. This allows for medevac fl ights that were origi-nally scheduled for the Kootenays to be rerouted to Grand Forks and allows for the transport of re-gional residents to larger medical centres.

The Grand Forks Airport is the only airport between Kelowna and Cranbrook that is equipped with equipment necessary for night time medevac fl ights. The correspondence stated that over the last three years, the Grand Forks Airport operated at an an-nual defi cit of roughly $93,300, which does not include any asset management-related savings for major asset repairs and upgrades.

The biggest yearly expenses are cost of fuel at $45,603, administra-tion at $35,610, and lighting and navigation at $23,575.

The conclusion of the corre-spondence state that: “In summa-ry, the airport is a major hub for the Kootenay Boundary region as a medevac airport for day and night time fl ights. It also served in 2015 as the primary helicopter attack base to battle the wild fi res in the Boundary and will continue to be used for this purpose most likely in the future. The Grand Forks Airport benefi ts the entire Kootenay Boundary region; how-ever, only the residents of the City of Grand forks fi nancially sup-port the operations, maintenance and management of the asset that is the Grand Forks Airport through general taxation. The City of Grand Forks requests that the RDKB annually supports the Grand Forks Airport operations as of the 2017 calendar year of: half of the annual total operating expenses of the airport.”

Following the presentation to council by Drexler, Councillor Neil Krog made a motion to re-ceive the information and said he

would like to provide more input as it is still in draft form before it goes to the RDKB. Councillor Hammett said she was surprised that this was the fi rst time the city had gone to the RDKB for fund-ing.

“We didn’t have the statisti-cal information we have now,” answered CAO Doug Allin. “It wasn’t really understood what our operating costs were. The deputy manager has done a good job of demonstrating where the costs have been coming from.”

Krog stated that regional dis-trict directors and staff in Trail and area don’t really care about the Grand Forks Fly-in and other events mentioned in the proposal that are specifi c to our area be-cause they have their own. He added that Trail Airport has a bet-ter track record of landings than Castlegar, which is in a different regional district area (Central Kootenay) so “they’re not going to buy it.”

“You’re going to have one shot at this, that’s why it hasn’t been done up to this point,” said Krog. “It has to be perfect to be sold.”

Projects getbudget approval

CRAIG LINDSAYGrand Forks Gazette

Grand Forks City Council met for its regular meeting on Monday, Feb. 15.Bylaw passes third reading

Council gave third read-ing to Zoning Amendment Bylaw 1606-A4, 2016, which amends the current zoning bylaw by rezoning property located at 6401 Highway 3 from the current Tour-ist Commerical zone to the Highway Commercial zone.

The property is 1.67 hect-ares (4.12 acres) in size and the rear lot line abuts the Kettle River. The adjacent property on the east side is zoned Highway Commercial; the property on the west side is Tourist Commercial.Water main project gets early budget approval

Council unanimously agreed to give early budget approval for the Fifth Street

water main replacement proj-ect, estimated to cost $575,000 to be funded from the Com-munity Works Gas Tax Fund.

In the summer of 2011 the city became aware that one of the water mains crossing the river at Fifth Street had failed. Before the failure, the south side of the community was serviced by two water mains at the Fifth Street location, along with a third main un-der the Kettle River at River-side Drive. “After the failure of the main, the city discerned that the second water main at the Fifth Street location was also at risk, in this it was ex-posed and lying on the bed of the Kettle River,” reads the background information.

Council considered two op-tions: installing a replacement main under the river bed, or having it cross the river on the Darrell J. Priede Bridge. Coun-

cil chose the second option.Sewer main repair gets early bud-get approval

Council also gave early budget approval for the Third Street sewer main repair project with an estiamt-ed cost of $150,000 to be funded from capital reserves.

“The Third Street sewer main between Market Avenue and Cen-tral Avenue has presented numer-ous challenges over the past several years, necessitating constant main-tenance and monitoring,” the back-grounder states. “The importance of early budget approval revolves around seasonal water table levels. With the location of this repair and the congestion of utilities in the area,

the budget amount could have a large variance depending on issues that may be uncovered.”Pump and motor project gets nod

Also receiving early budget ap-proval was the Well #3 pump and motor with VFD (variable frequency drive) and building modifi cations project with an estimated cost of $100,000 to be funded from Capital Reserves. Well #3 is one of the city’s largest capacity wells with some of the oldest equipment which is ap-proximately 30+ years old.

The importance of early budget approval is in the manufacturing timeline of eight weeks for the mo-tor, the increase in seasonal water de-mand in May and the need to meet

fi re fl ow requirements.Resolution received

Council simply received the in-formation from the City of Port Co-quitlam resolving “that the federal government’s Build Canada grant program, National Infrastructure component, be amended to fund a minimum of 50 per cent of the project cost”; and further, “that the provin-cial funding contribution for signifi -cant projects be a minimum of 40 per cent of the project cost.”

Councillor Neil Krog said that al-though the resolution sounds good on the surface, the current one third formula between federal, provin-cial and civic governments actually amounts to more money available.

Anxious?At GFCU MoneyWorks, we have strategies for:• Protecting your family against life’s risks• Building your financial security• E nsuring you receive full benefits from your government plans

Are you one of those people who are easily worried about their fi nances? With the present economic situation, it’s be-coming more and more complex and diffi cult to effi ciently manage our fi nances, our estate and our investments. This can be a real headache, a task which some people can lose sleep over.

There is no magic formula to transform the management of our fi nances into an easy and foolproof undertaking. But con-sulting competent professionals can certainly help to simplify things and make them less onerous.

What kind of professionals are we talking about? Perhaps a good fi nancial advisor or planner can help you sort out your fi -nancial situation and take the necessary measures either to cor-rect a diffi cult situation or to help you achieve your objectives. An effi cient accountant will assist you in the sensible manage-ment of your affairs while limiting the amount of income taxes to be paid. A reputable fi nancial institution will be able to meet your credit needs, offering the right product for your particular situation.

Other resources could also be of use: a good insurance bro-ker to give you the protection you need as well as a real estate agent who can advise and help you during the purchase or the sale of your home.

Together, all these people, all these resources, can provide you with a valuable support system and can greatly simplify the management of your fi nances. This is the road to take to avoid problems... and to get a good night’s sleep.

This is another reminder to be aware of creative fraudsters. Recently a client came to us with an email they received from “Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)”.

The email claimed they were en-titled to a refund from the fi ling of their personal income tax return. The email stated they could obtain the refund through direct deposit by clicking on an attached link and entering their bank account information.

The link brought them to a site that looked in every way like the actual CRA website. It was very convincing. Luckily, in this case the client was suspicious, and came to us for clarifi cation. This email was a scam.

It is important to remember that CRA will never request in-formation from you through email or text messaging. They will only contact you by mail or phone.

If you are not sure about the authenticity of a call or letter it is best to phone CRA at 1-800-959-8281 to ensure it is legitimate. ~ submitted by Kemp Harvey Burch Kientz Inc.

Scam Alert!

Public health nurses are heading downtown

Public health nurses in Grand Forks will be moving from the Glanville Centre by Perley Elementary and will be relocated to the old Cash Store building this spring. The move is not sitting well with represen-tatives from Boundary Family and Individual Services Soci-ety (BFISS), who like having a “one-stop shop” in their Glan-ville location.

James Wilson, executive director for BFISS, said he re-ceived official notification on Feb. 5 that the public health nurses would be moving to an-other location. “They (Interior Health) felt it was part of their mandate to start pairing up with other services in the area such as adult mental health. They needed a new building and new partners and they felt being closer to the doctor’s building would be better to the people in the community.”

Wilson said having the public health nurses in their building was a big advantage for BFISS in providing a well-rounded array of shared servic-es. “It’s part of the partners we have which includes the school district,” he said. “We have this collaborative working agree-ment that offer services to our clientele. We answer questions about sexual health to questions about their baby or questions in

general—we can always call on the nurses to come help. It helps feed the programs and serve the contracts. A lot of the contracts talk about the collaboration we have and now we don’t, so that could hurt some potential con-tracts in the future.”

Wilson said the groups are also able to cost share and work together, which keeps costs down for all the groups. “I guess they didn’t think that was important,” he said. “It impacts a lot of people in this commu-nity.”

Wilson said he also expects that students at the high school will be impacted. “They used to be able to come across from the high school to our building to get help where it’s confiden-tial and a safe environment,” he said. “Now they will have to get downtown to this new location and the chances of that happen-ing are slim.”

A statement from the BFISS board of directors dated Feb. 15 stated, “BFISS would urge In-terior Health to reconsider and pursue ways this relationship can be retained. The Boundary Integrated Services Model part-nership of social societies and ministerial service agencies is a long proven effective strategy of service provision. The loss of the co-location of public health nursing with BFISS is a signifi-cant blow to this model and the BFISS board would encourage a reconsideration of this move.”

Cheryl Whittleton, commu-nity integrated health services administrator for Kootenay Boundary, said that IH is still finalizing the details and still needs to do some renovations to the new site and will notify the community when they have a firm date for moving.

“It’s important to clarify that these are public health nurses providing a range of services to all ages, not just children,” she said. “The new location is with-in a kilometre of the current public health office. All current public health services will be moved to the new location.”

Whittleton said that the cur-rent mental health services in Grand Forks will also be moved to this location, which is very close to the primary care physician clinic. “Com-munity members will now be able to access a wide range of services within one block,” she said. “We do have individuals, such as new moms with post-partum depression, who access public health and mental health services in addition to primary care services from a physician.”

Whittleton added that the new location is a larger space for the services IH is providing to the community and is easily accessible on the ground floor. “Our current locations for both public health and mental health services present challenges for individuals with disabilities or the frail elderly.”

A rock slide three kilometres east of Christina Lake on Feb. 16 sent debris falling to High-way 3 halting traffic in both di-rection and knocking the pow-er out. The slide occurred at 7 a.m. and Emcon crews were on scene quickly removing debris. Traffic was opened to single lane at around 8:30 a.m. Power was restored by FortisBC by the afternoon.

Rick Wright, operations man-ager for Emcon, said that the crews are busy removing all the debris to allow traffic through.

“Some trees came down with

the debris and closed both lanes for about an hour,” said Wright. “We hope to be full opening with both lanes by 4 p.m. today (Feb. 17) but we may need to go back in tomorrow. We prob-ably won’t remove all the rock today but we’re hoping to do a full opening during the night (starting at 4 p.m.) and close it back to single lane alternating tomorrow morning so we can remove the rest of the debris.”

All work was completed on Friday (Feb. 19) and the high-way is open to traffic in both directions.

Wright said it’s not uncom-mon to have rock slides at this time of year with frozen soil

thawing. “We had a geo tech from the Ministry of Transpor-tation on site yesterday. It’s not just common to our area, it’s throughout the province,” he said. “Water gets into the rocks and freezes over time than thaws creating little void. The rock loses some of it’s strength and that causes the slides.”

Grace McGregor, RDKB Christina Lake/Area C director, said she has spoken to the Min-istry of Transportation about the ministry conducting geo-tech surveys in the area. “They assured me they will do that,” she said. “It looks like there are some unstable things there and we should be concerned.”

GFI is returning for its 35th event

The organizing committee is excit-ed to announce that the 35th Grand Forks International (GFI) baseball tournament will be held June 28 - July 3 at beautiful James Donaldson Park.

It will be a 12-team tournament. The lineup of teams is almost com-plete and will be announced soon. Re-cently a baseball fan and author from Minneapolis, Minnesota has been in touch with the GFI and shared some interesting thoughts about our tour-nament and ballpark.

Philip Lowry wrote the book Green Cathedrals which includes ref-erences to about 400 ballparks, most-ly all over the United States. He is aware of the GFI and wants to know more of its remarkable history.

Even though he has not been to Grand Forks, he said the following: “You are indeed correct that your tournament is the premier summer baseball tournament in North Amer-ica.”

To realize that this tourney has that kind of reputation way beyond

our area is both exhilarating and humbling.

He has seen only photos of our outstanding facility and yet com-mented, “I absolutely love the asym-metry of (James) Donaldson Park. That is the way ballparks are sup-posed to be. They need a character and soul that no astro-turfed domed symmetrical park can ever give.”

The Grand Forks International and James Donaldson Park are well known far beyond our community. Thousands of baseball fans and play-ers from all over the globe have trav-elled here since 1975 because of this classic event.

Another author and Canada’s first Parliamentary Poet Laureate, George Bowering, was a special guest at the GFI a decade ago. He wrote in his marvellous book Baseball Love, “Grand Forks is home to the greatest baseball tournament in the world.”

Coordinator of the 35th Grand Forks International, Gerry Foster, said, “Let’s not take it for granted. It’s a gem and is vital to our area.”

Watch for ongoing announce-ments and news about the upcoming GFI.

GERRY FOSTERSubmitted to the Gazette

Tourney a tune-up for WolvesThe Grand Forks Second-

ary junior girls basketball team had their final tune-up before playoffs on the week-end hosting a tournament with two Kelowna teams. The GFSS Wolves split into two teams and both won one game and lost one game.

GFSS 1 lost a close 29-28 battle to the Rut-land Voodoos on Fri-day despite nine points from player of the game Victoria Henne. The team bounced back on Saturday to beat Okanagan Mission 49-24 with 14 points from Elizabeth Henne and 10 points from Victoria Henne.

GFSS 2 had similar results with a 35-29 win over Okana-gan Mission (OKM) led by 11 points from Alexandra Henne and eight points from Portia Dagg. In their last game, the Wolves lost to Rutland 45-23 with Ariana Clark scoring seven points.

“It was a good chance to play some good teams from outside our zone,” said coach

Craig Lindsay. “It was also great to be able to split our big team (15 players) into two squads so everyone got to play a lot. It was a good expe-rience. Players got to try some different roles and work with different teammates.”

Although both Kelowna teams were grade 9, they had some very tall players which

gave GFSS tough match-ups. “We’re used to being the tall-est team out there with five players over 5’9 but Rutland and OKM both had 6’3 girls,” said Lindsay, “but our posts did a good chance of defend-ing them and the tall girls weren’t a factor.”

The Wolves practice this week before heading to J.L. Crowe in Trail Saturday for the West Kootenay champi-onships. By virtue of their #2 seeding, GFSS gets a bye to the semi-final where they will

face the winner of Stanley Humphries of Castlegar and Salmo. Top seeded L.V. Rog-ers of Nelson plays the win-ner of Boundary Central and J.L. Crowe in the other semi-final.

“We’ve had a good season and really improved,” said Lindsay. “We beat Castlegar handily last week but we

have lost to them so we can’t take them lightly. They have some good shooters and decent size. Our pressure defence will need to be solid both full court and half court.”

Lindsay said that Nelson is the team to beat. “We lost to them both times we’ve played them,” he said. “They have good speed and pass the ball well. We’ll really need to play smart and ag-gressive to top them if we can get to the final.”

Lindsay said the players have really improved their passing over the past couple of weeks and are working better as a team. “If we can execute our offence well we’ll be very tough to stop,” he said.

The Boundary Snowmobile Club will be hosting its inaugural running of the Dave Brousseau Memorial Pok-er Ride on Sunday, Feb. 28.

Boundary Snowmobile Club (BSC) members and guests will be gathering at the bottom of Pass Creek Road up the North Fork valley for a day bound for fun and adventure as parties ride up to the Pass Creek cabin, scor-ing the best poker hands to determine the day’s winner.

This is a fundraising event for the BSC with all proceeds going towards the maintenance and building of new/existing trails and cabins within the local riding areas, said club presi-

dent Derrick Pankoff.The  BSC  is  a  non-profit  organiza-

tion and currently operates three wil-derness cabins and numerous trails throughout the riding areas. The club strives to promote safe and sensitive operation of snowmobiles in the back-country and on the trails

This year’s event includes a trib-ute to long-time Grand Forks resident and local pioneer of mountain sled-ding Dave Brousseau, who perished in an avalanche in 2008.

Sign up starts at 9 a.m. till 10:30 a.m. at the bottom of Pass Creek Road (20 kilometres up North Fork Road to Brown Creek Road). There will  be  food  and  prizes  available  at the cabin. Everyone is welcome.

Poker ride will be inBrousseau’s memorySUBMITTEDto the Grand Forks Gazette

The Snow-mobile Club’s poker rides are popular. This year’s will be the inaugural running of the Dave Brous-seau Memo-rial Poker Ridge.

Fitness Fun a fundraiserFitness event a fundraiser

Heart failure affects 600,000 Canadians and an-other 50,000 will be diag-nosed this year, according to stats reports.

According to the Cana-dian Physical Activity guide, adults between the ages of 18 to 64 should accumulate at least 150 minutes of mod-erate to vigorous-intensity physical activity per week. That means getting out and completing a brisk walk or bike ride.

There is still time to get out and try snowshoeing or take up cross country skiing before the snow melts away. At least try to get your heart rate up for a minimum of 30 minutes a day.

February is Heart and Stroke month and GFREC would like you to join the Jazzercise  instructors  along with the yoga instructor to help raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

The Fitness Fun Fundrais-er event includes one hour of Jazzercise  exercises  geared to get your heart pumping. No experience necessary and everyone is welcome. Dona-tions will be accepted at the

door. The event will be held at

the Perley School gym from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 25.Maintain a fit, strong body

Evening drop-in aquatic classes are held at the Grand Forks Aquatic Centre on Monday and Wednesdays from 6 - 7 p.m.

Shape up circuit weight training classes are held on Tuesday and Thursdays from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m.

Some women tend to stick to a particular fitness routine that usually does not include lifting weights like dumb-bells or kettle bells. Why? There is a perception one may become “big and bulky” or resemble the cartoon the Hulk.

This is not necessarily the case; in fact, women lack a certain balance of hormones, testosterone and growth hor-mones to put on muscle mass

the way men do. By differing in hormone levels, women are naturally more lean and feminine.

Maintaining  a  fit  and strong body allows your muscles to better support you throughout the day. Muscle mass helps you prevent and avoid serious back pain, have stronger bones, and improve your posture, balance and coordination. Lifting weights has several advantages to your overall body health and strength. Pollywogs program returns

The annual Pollywogs swim program is back and registration will open on Tuesday, March 1. Space is limited to 24 so mark your calendar to avoid missing out on this great program. Class-es will be held on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:45 - 4:45 p.m. for the month of April. Toonie skates scheduled

Jack Goddard Memo-rial Arena is open for toonie skate from Monday to Thurs-day from 3:45 - 4:45 p.m. Take advantage of this time and practice your turns and stops or just get together with your friends.

The Border Bruins are mak-ing their first playoff appear-ance in 19 years after finishing third in the Neil Murdoch Di-vision. The Bruins finished the last week of the season with a 5-4 overtime win over Castle-gar at home on Feb. 16 and then followed that up with a 5-4 overtime loss also at home on Friday. Grand Forks was sup-posed to finish the season off at home Sunday with an after-noon game against Nelson but the Leafs defaulted due to not having enough players giving the Bruins the win.

The Bears ended the regu-lar season just one game under .500 with 23 wins-24 losses-0 ties-5 overtime losses good for 51 points. The record gives the team the third place spot in the Neil Murdoch, 18 points behind their first round opponent the second place team from Castle-gar (32-15-3-0-2).

By comparison, last sea-son’s Border Bruins ended with eight wins and 40 losses for 20 points and fifth and last place in the Neil Murdoch 32 points behind fourth place Nelson. That marks a 31-point, 15-win improvement for the Bruins in one season.

Bruins head coach Emery Olauson said the team is play-ing well and working hard in practice preparing for the Rebels. “Really in the second

half of the season we had one game that we weren’t happy with the effort,” he said. “We’re still a young team that’s made mistakes here and there. I think we’re happy at the right; I think we’re peaking at the right time. We’re going to give Castlegar all that we have and see where we stack up in a seven-game series.”

Olauson said that most of the players are new to play-offs but he expects them to get their feet (skates) under them quickly. “It’s a new process for this club,” he said. “We’re hoping that our hard work will pay off. We’ve been trying to preach play-off hockey in practice and we’ve been doing that all year.”

The best-of-seven series began last night in Castlegar (after press time) with the Rebels hosting. Game two is tonight also in Castlegar. The se-ries comes to Grand Forks for games three and four on Friday and Saturday at Jack Goddard Memo-rial Arena. The series will then alternate between Castlegar, Grand Forks and then back to Castlegar for game seven if needed. Dates have not been secured for games 5-7

(if needed).Bear bites -

Rookie forward Chad Gram-bo led the Bruins in scoring this season with 16 goals and 25 as-sists for 41 points. Dylan Haney finished second in team scoring with 20 goals and 37 points, one ahead of Trey Mason who had 10 goals and 36 points. Top scoring defenceman was Nico Sidoni with one goal and 15 points. Anthony Galliart was the top goalkeeper with a 3.31 goals against average and a .912 save percentage.

The Border Bruins got an opportunity to tune up for the playoffs with a friendly game against the Grand Forks Special Olympics Storm on Feb. 17 at Perley Elementary. “We figured the Bruins needed the prac-tice to get ready for the playoffs,” said Storm coach Derek Taylor. “Both sides enjoyed the event and are looking forward to the next chance to play each other.” Submitted photo

Reignite time-honoured values

1. http://www.history.com/topics/quakers2. Gazette, Feb 3, 2016, PA3, Boundary popula-

tion shrinks

Lately I’ve been spending time on the computer entering an-cestry data that I inher-ited from my grand-mother into a digital family tree program.

It’s a labour of love that I’ve been avoiding for years, but this winter seemed like the right time to finally start digging into the long-overdue project replete with long-lost relatives’ names, birth and death dates, and interesting anecdotal stories, much of it painstakingly hand-recorded on rolled up scrolls of paper that are now tattered and falling apart with age.

Reading about my heritage has been as eye-opening as it has been inspira-tional. My forebears were well con-nected to the land, so my love of gar-dening is inherited, it seems. I’ve also been learning that there’s been a long Christian heritage running deep in the family line.

In fact, my great-great-great grand-parents were Quakers, or Friends. They emigrated from England in the early 1800s to the US and then made their way up into Canada, bringing their Christian tradition with them and influencing sev-eral generations beyond.

This fascinating fact warranted do-ing some homework on the Quakers, and what I discovered about their be-liefs leads me to the crux of this article. Briefly, they believed that “government

was divinely institut-ed and virtuous men and women must help make it operate as God intended, to encourage peace, justice, charity, spiritual equality, and liberty for the benefit of all.”1

There was no room for separation of church and state here! In the 1800s they were known for their philanthropic works and involvement in champion-ing of the anti-slavery movement in the U.S., and they also worked along politi-cal lines to bring in education and social progress for blacks and immigrants. Equality, justice, liberty and charity were key values held by the Quakers/Friends.

These concepts, I believe, are funda-mental in our understanding of what is happening right here, right now, in this community. With declining population2, closed businesses, and a veritable smor-gasbord of homes for sale, these things taken together point to something being quite disturbingly “off around here.”

What is off, and more importantly—why is it “off?”

When my relatives settled in Canada 200 years ago they brought a quiet, solid, perse-vering faith with them, and the values that stemmed from their faith informed the way they lived. They believed in build-ing up society, in community,

in commitment, in family, in sharing the work and the wealth, in lifting up the downtrodden, and in giving others a helping hand. They truly lived up to their name as Friends according to their Christian worldview. Life was not “all for one,” but “one for all.”

Over the years I have become more and more painfully aware of gover-nances that have been steadily at work eroding all of the goodness and virtue which those people brought to our land. I am convinced that we need to return to those time-honoured beliefs and values, and if we fail to do that, we will have lost the very fabric of what makes this community attractive, and what makes it a place where people want to live.

Those values need to be reignited and put back into practice so that we can start working toward the healing and revitalization that this community so desperately needs. It is to our peril if we forget how all we are blessed with today stems from those morals, ethics, and values.

It was a dark period in the forging of the United States, one of many for a nation aspiring to greatness.

The fostering of paranoia in order to expunge enemies, imag-

ined or real, is an unfortunate device employed by those with distorted dreams. The victims, in this case, included folk musi-cian Pete Seeger, writer Dashi-ell Hammet, singer/actor Paul Robeson, attorney Ben Myers, composer Hanns Eisler, jazz mu-sician Arte Shaw, actor Edward

G. Robinson, folk singer/actor (and everyone’s grandpa) Burl Ives, playwright Bertolt Brecht and screenwriters Lester Cole and Dalton Trumbo, to mention a very few on a very long list.

It was the era of House Un-American Activities Committee’s (1947-1956) pursuit of Commu-

nists and their supporters, par-ticularly in Hollywood and other sectors of the entertainment in-dustry. It was called the Second Red Scare and thousands were affected.

The event became known as McCarthyism after the commit-tee head from 1950, Republican

Senator Joe McCarthy. McCarthy-ism is now synonymous with the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason without proper regard for evidence.

On Tuesday March 1 Spotlight Films will be presenting Trumbo, an homage to Dalton Trumbo who, along with others, stood

up to the House Un-American Activities Committee.

In 1947, Dalton Trumbo (played by Bryan Cranston, TV series’ Malcolm in the Middle and Breaking Bad) was Hollywood’s top screenwriter until he and other artists, most notably The Hol-lywood 10, were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs.

Trumbo (directed by Jay Roach, Meet the Fockers, Austin Powers) recounts how Dalton used words and wit to win two Academy Awards (The Brave One and Roman Holiday) and expose the absurdity and injustice under the blacklist, which en-tangled everyone from gossip columnist Hed-da Hopper (Helen Mir-ren, The Queen) to John Wayne (David James Elliott), Kirk Douglas (Dean Gorman) and Otto Preminger (Chris-tian Berkel).

Other performers include John Goodman as Frank King and Di-ane Lane as Cleo Trum-bo (Dalton’s wife).

Dalton Trumbo also won the Cannes Grand Prize Jury Award for Johnny Got His Gun, which won and was nominated for several other awards. He also wrote the screenplays for Spartacus and Exo-dus which were credit-ed to others because of his being black listed.

Director Otto Pr-eminger was later in-strumental in Trumbo getting credit for the latter while Kirk Doug-las, the protagonist in Spartacus, ensured he was eventually cred-ited for that film.

Cranston is up for best actor at the Oscars and has also won best actor at the South East-ern Film Critics Associ-ation Awards and also at the Palm Springs International Film Fes-tival. Trumbo is also nominated for 30 other awards.

Trumbo will be shown at 7:30 p.m. at the GEM Theatre. Thanks to Maureen and Marius Paquet of the Gem Theatre, Bleecker Street of IMdB, Wiki-pedia and our sponsors and patrons.
