Ombudspersonoffice closes investigation

The Ombudsperson’s offi ce of B.C. has completed an in-vestigation into the ongoings at City Hall after receiving sev-eral complaints from residents. Although the ombudsperson found some areas in which the city and staff fell short regard-ing consultation with citizens regarding the residential water meter program, they ultimately concluded that the city took proper steps to improve communications moving forward.

The Offi ce of the Ombudsperson is an independent body that can help determine whether provincial public authori-ties have acted fairly and reasonably—and whether their actions and decisions were consistent with relevant legisla-tion, policies and procedures. Each year, they receive around 7,500 enquiries and complaints and conduct 2,000 individu-al investigations and early resolutions. As an independent statutory Offi cer of the Legislation, the Ombudsperson (Jay Chalke) cannot enforce action; however, public authorities usually accept the Ombudsperson’s recommendations.

In the Ombudsperson’s last report (2014-15), Grand Forks had 20 fi les opened in 2014-15, second only to the City of Vancouver’s 24. In comparison, the City of Surrey had 10, Kelowna had three, Castlegar had two, and Nelson had one. Grand Forks had 20 fi les still open as of March 31, 2015, the most of any municipality in B.C. By comparison, the City of Vancouver had 11, the City of Victoria had two, as did Castle-gar, while Nelson had zero.

In the letter to the complainant, the Ombudsperson wrote that they received a considerable number of related com-plaints regarding the water meter program. “The people who contacted us were primarily concerned that the city was pushing through the project without adequate public input,” the report stated. “They believed that the decision to install individual [residential] water meters was made without proper research and without the examination of other op-tions. According to complainants, the former mayor, CAO and council ignored all public input and refused to accept a petition signed by over 500 residents asking to delay instal-lation or conduct a referendum on the issue.”

The Ombudsperson stated that his offi ce focussed its in-vestigation on whether the city adequately consulted with residents in advance of the decision to move forward with the universal water meter program.

The report stated that the investigation determined a number of reports and discussions at open council meetings from 1999 onwards, “However, it is signifi cant to note that none of the documents explicitly informed the public that council intented to vote on the question of whether or not to adopt a universal residential water meter program. Nor did any of the documents provided by the city demonstrate that

IT’S A JOURNEY. GO THE DISTANCE.

New ‘pick and pay’channels explained

A new CRTC ruling allowing lower entry TV plans and pick and pay channels has viewers hoping for big savings.

As of March 1, 2016 all Canadian TV providers (cable and satellite) must offer a basic (or skinny) pack-age of channels for no more than $25 a month and give consumers the option of ordering channels a la carte (one at a time, or “pick and pay”) or in small bundles (up to 10 channels). By December 1, 2016, TV providers must offer both a la carte ordering and small channel bundles (up to 10 channels).

“Thanks in part to the avail-ability of broadband technology, viewers can watch television con-tent at the times, in the places and on the devices hey choose,” said Jean-Pierre Blais, chairman of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), in a press release. “View-ers are in control. Canadians have a world of choice at their fi ngertips. Today’s decision is not about mak-ing choices for Canadians, rather it is about setting out a road map to give all Canadians the freedom to choose the television content that meets their unique needs, budget and realities—which can even in-clude free, over-the-air television stations. Each househould will be able to fi nd the right value proposi-tion.”

A Shaw Communications spokes person told the Gazette, “In mid-February we posted to our website improvements to our tele-vision packaging that offer addi-tional customer choices in conjunc-tion with new CRTC regulations. This includes the launch of a new entry-level TV package called lim-ited TV, as well as new small theme packs which are also available to be combined with our existing TV packages. Prior to this, personal TV was our entry level packaging. It has not changed. [Personal TV is still available.]”

Limited TV and the new small theme packs have been available from Shaw since Feb. 17, 2016. “In all cases, pre-existing packaging has been maintained and there is no

need for current customers to make any decisions or changes to their subscription.”

At Shaw, the limited TV package includes around 30 channels includ-ing the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox) in both standard defi nition (SD) and high defi nition (HD) as well as Global, CTV (SD only) Knowledge Network, APTN and others at a cost of $25 per month.

By comparison, the personal TV package includes around 75 channels including around 15 HD channels. The personal packages includes the channels in the lim-ited TV package as well as channels such as TSN 1, Sportsnet One, His-tory, Food Network, Cartoon Net-work and several more at a cost of $43 per month.

Currently, Shaw has about 80 channels available for pick and pay including MSNBC, MTV2, Movi-eTime, Action, Fashion TV, Travel & Escape, and more. Prices may vary depending on bundles, special deals, and other factors. (Taxes as well as equipment not included.)

Friends of Canadian Broadcast-ing (FCB), a group which advocates for Canadian broadcasting, predicts that the regulatory changes made by the CRTC will end up causing a huge negative impact on the Ca-nadian television industry and the Canadian economy.

“Local TV in Canada is extreme-ly vulnerable,” said Jim Thompson, representative for FCB. The Friends recently published a study stating that 50 per cent of all local stations will close by 2020.

Thompson said that consumers are not too impressed by the skinny packages offered thus far by the big providers.

“The introduction of skinny basic and pick and pay, it’s simply not go-ing to save consumers money,” he said. “Even though many observers including Friends predicted there would be almost no cost savings for most consumers, there’s still disap-pointment, I think, among consum-ers that not only is this not going to save me money, it may cost me money. The outcome for consumers might be that they pay more and get less. That’s disappointing.”

Consumers won’t save money,says broadcasting advocacy group

For gardeners, March brings with it a feeling of hope and anticipation because the growing season is about to of-fi cially begin.

There’s nothing like get-ting your hands around some promising seed packets and there’s no better place to get started than the annual Seedy Saturday event in Grand Forks.

This year it is on Saturday, March 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Holy Trinity An-glican Church located at 7252 Seventh Street.

The popular event includes the opportunity to share seeds you’ve harvested yourself, pick up some new seeds from fellow gardeners, purchase seed from vendors, learn more about Grand Forks and Bound-ary Regional Agricultural Soci-ety (GFBRAS), enjoy a home-made lunch and to talk worms.

“I will be there with my wayward worms,” confi rmed Lorraine Dick, GFBRAS mem-ber.

For the past few years Dick has been demonstrating and discussing vermiculture—or the use of worms to create compost.

This year she will be avail-able to talk about her favou-rite gastropod and what a few thousand of them can do to improve the quality of your garden soil.

There will also be plants for sale and a place to sign up for your plot in the community garden.

For those interested in con-tributing or becoming a seed custodian for the Boundary Seed Bank Project, there will

be information and people on hand. The Seed Bank, which was started fi ve years ago, now holds more than 40 vari-eties of vegetables, grains and beans that are acclimatized and historically signifi cant to our region.

If you are bringing in seeds

to exchange, please make sure the seeds are packaged and la-beled with the name and date the seeds were harvested.

For those who can’t make it to the event, you can fi nd free seeds at the Grand Forks and District Public Library where there is a Seed Library.

Last summer Sheila Dobie hosted a Grand Forks and Boundary Regional Agricultural Society seed saving work-shop at Spencer Hill Farm with Jon Alcock of Sunshine Farms in Kelowna. They demonstrated the seed winnower GFBRAS has available for loan.

Seedy Saturday heralds seasonERIN PERKINSFor the Grand Forks Gazette

Join the new Seed Saving Learning GroupWant to learn how to save your own seeds?Sheila Dobie, GFBRAS liaison, is looking for six to eight people

who can dedicate some volunteer hours over the growing season to learn how to produce and save their own seeds from start to fi nish.

The Seed Saving Learning Group will meet twice a month over the growing season, starti ng with planti ng at the Community Gar-den plots, Learning Garden project, two additi onal sites in Grand Forks and one in Midway in May and June.

Parti cipants will need to commit to at least three of the eight work parti es scheduled between May and September. Those who commit to the enti re season may be eligible for a sti pend.

The group will be planti ng beans, beets, squash, lett uce, kale, spinach, potato, amaranth, mustard and assorted other varieti es. During the work parti es they will be planti ng, mulching, monitoring the crops, documenti ng the progress, staking, weeding, thinning and rogueing for specifi c qualiti es. The season will end with harvest-ing, drying, cleaning and storing the seeds properly.

There will also be an additi onal parti cipatory plant-breeding project with potatoes.

Dobie, who recently returned from the Organic Seed Alliance Conference in Oregon, is enthused about the new project. She and more than 500 other parti cipants att ended the event in February where she rubbed elbows with more than 80 leaders in open pol-linated seeds producti on and preservati on.

“I think it was the humbling, and at the same ti me an inspiring realizati on, that we can in our own small way be acti vists in this movement,” Dobie said. “We with our Seed Bank project are on the right track to ensure the resilience of our local food system and a player for what is possible—and necessary—for the world. It placed our wee project is such a majesti c context—it was breathtaking!”

She said seeds are as much about food producti on as they are about cultural legacy.

“In the seed history, ancestory and technology converge,” she said.

Funding for the Seed Saving Learning Group was provided by The Bauta Family Initi ati ve on Canadian Seed Security, a project of USC Canada delivered in partnership with Seeds of Diversity Canada and supported by The W. Garfi eld Weston Foundati on. For more informati on visit www.usc-canada.org and www.seeds.ca. For more informati on about the Seed Saving Learning Group contact Sheila at boundaryfarms@gmail.com. Dobie expects to have her fi rst meet-ing in April.

EditorialiNSIGHTYOUR NEWS VIEW

Most people were pretty excited to hear about the CRTC rule changes regarding TV plans and the possibility of choosing channels ala carte (pick and pay).

TV fans saw visions in their head of lower bills and more choices. Why pay $100 or so for a big TV bundle when you really only watch a half dozen channels or so?

Of course, it’s still early in the process of hav-ing all providers offer all channels ala carte (that comes in December), but even so it’s beginning to look like customers may end paying the same or even more. There is also talk that the new rules will hurt Canadian programming and end up costing jobs, according to Friends of Canadian Broadcasting.

While the skinny TV packages offer a very basic bundle of channels, consumers also aren’t eligible for certain deals such as “free” receivers and so on.

Despite all the changes to technology and the increased competition from the Internet and programs like Netflix, cable TV remains popular but in an ever-changing world of entertainment, providers need to offer packages and deals that are enticing to consumers. Otherwise, consumers will find other sources for entertainment.

HOW TO REACH US

Share your views on physician-assisted dying

In Parliament we take up and debate issues from across the spectrum, from the relatively simple to the most serious of top-ics. Recently one of the most serious issues in a long time came before us: physician-assisted dying.

On Feb. 6, 2015, the Su-preme Court unanimous-ly ruled in the Carter case, finding that Canadians who are suffering intoler-ably because of a grievous and irremediable medical condition have the right to request medical aid in dying. The Supreme Court gave the govern-ment until June 6, 2016 to have a new law govern-

ing medical aid in dying in place.

Faced with that deadline, the fed-eral government created the Special Joint Committee on Physician-Assisted

Dying to make recom-mendations on a legisla-tive response to this de-cision. That committee heard from over 13,000 Canadians, more than 100 organizations, held 11 hearings, called 61 expert witnesses and received more than 100 written briefs from groups across Canada. The committee rendered its report at the end of February, making 21 recommendations to help craft a balanced bill on medical aid in dying. It also proposes 10 safe-guards, including eligibil-ity criteria and procedural checks, to ensure that vul-

nerable individuals are protected.

Of the report rec-ommendations, those around the importance of informed consent are obviously the most criti-cal in my mind, and if ad-vance directives are given they must be crystal clear. The safeguards include a waiting period and a re-quirement that two doc-tors must conclude that the patient meets the re-quirements of the legisla-tion.

I was happy to see that the report formally calls on the government to implement the NDP’s initiative to create a Pan-Canadian Strategy on Pal-liative and End-of-Life Care and re-establishing the secretariat on pallia-tive care. It is important that citizens not be forced to consider assisted dying

simply because they don’t have access to proper pal-liative care or suitable mental health supports.

We now await the gov-ernment’s response to the report in the form of the new legislation called for by the Supreme Court decision. I urge the gov-ernment to move forward with balance, respect and sensitivity. Above all, the new act must protect the vulnerable in our society. As the government drafts legislation, they must continue to engage and communicate with Cana-dians.

With that in mind, I in-vite everyone to read the report (available online at www.parl.gc.ca/Com-mittees/en/PDAM) and invite you to share your views with me richard.cannings@parl.gc.ca.

Military aggression has failedGrant will ‘rescue’ cabin

Let’s film future meetings

Editor, The Gazette:Across Canada on Satur-

day, March 19, on the anni-versary of the invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq in 2003, actions are happening to bring attention to Canada’s complicity in the current wars that flaunt International Law.

The battle in Syria is just the latest quest for regime change following Mali, Sudan, Chad, Afghanistan, Iraq, Ser-bia, Granada, Chile, Nicara-gua, Libya, the Ukraine and the list goes on. The resulting destabilizing chaos creates enemies (rebels/subversives/militants) labelled as such a threat to the West that we’re convinced and compelled to build up military might to combat this supposed danger.

Canada is borrowing mil-lions for a new navy to fight an enemy we never had—un-til joining NATO. You and I, the people, pay—especially our children, from a lack of funds for good health care, education, and other social programs.

The current NATO and U.S.A. missions are not United Nation sanctioned. Even then, look what happened in Libya: it was only to be a mission

to maintain a no-fly zone but NATO, with Canada in the lead, went for regime change and is complicit in the ille-gal assassination of Gaddafi which resulted in a nation at war with itself.

NATO continues to play a major role in the West’s interference in other coun-tries’ governments, elected or not, that result in millions of internally displaced people, financial migrants and a grow-ing number of refugees fleeing imminent death.

Canada, as a member of NATO, must and does share the blame for the millions of deaths, refugees and the destruction. Sadly the carnage is not yet over.

This exercise in Syria is another horrendous attempt at regime change, which results in the blood of children soak-ing the land. We hope it isn’t a prelude to the invasion and destabilization of Iran and other Middle Eastern na-tions. But, the UN, despite its many shortcomings, remains humanity’s best chance to stop the scourge of war, inequal-ity, poverty, imperialism, etc. It does need reform so all have an equal voice so that

peacekeeping at the end of a gun becomes peacemaking without violence, force, abuse and fear.

Canada, through you and I, must demand our government withdraw all troops, police and their trainers from the Middle East. We must insist that all parties involved con-tinue to uphold the ceasefire. And, we must demand that the negotiations continue.

At some point all humanity must wake up to the fact that military campaigns lead only to death, destruction, displace-ment of people, suffering, global inequality and contrib-ute exponentially to climate change.

Military aggression has failed all people, even the one per cent whether they real-ize it or not. Only programs and lifestyles offering under-standing, respect, honor and equality through non-violent diplomacy can and will bring peace to our very troubled world.

Editor, The Gazette:Re: All the letters about recent

community meetings at Christina Lake.

It would seem to me if so many people had such different experiences at this meeting, I would suggest that future meetings be filmed so that the meeting could speak for its self.

I myself see no problem in

making public meetings more public. That way if you were unable to attend, you could watch and perhaps write in your feelings about it. The world is changing and 9-5 jobs are no longer the standard. Many people do shift work, night shifts, and for our area especially, there are also those who work away from home.

Let’s not also forget that

parents are usually putting kids to bed between 7 and 8 p.m. or having family dinner; therefore, 7 p.m. meetings are not that easy to attend.

If the meetings were filmed and available online or at the RDKB office, people could review them as necessary. I re-ally wish there was a video.

Sarah Leslie,Christina Lake

Editor, The Gazette:I would like to publicly ac-

knowledge the $500 grant-in-aid that the Friends of the Bonanza Recreation Area (FBRA) recently received from the Area C director of the RDKB, Grace McGregor.

An equal grant-in-aid has been received from the Area B director, Linda Worley.

This money will be put toward the rescue of the well-known Gor-don Keir Cabin that has been used as a day use cabin for the protec-tion and safety of the many users of the Bonanza Recreation Area for many years. All of the restora-tion work will be done by a very active group of volunteer outdoor enthusiasts.

I would also like to say that I attended the information meeting and public hearing on Feb. 16 at

the Christina Lake Community Hall regarding a proposed se-nior’s housing project. Since that date, I have been reading letters and articles in the Grand Forks Gazette written by opponents of this project. I think some of these opponents are using inaccurate and fabricated facts in their argu-ments against this much-needed project and the public process that is legally required for it to go forward.

I believe that Area C director, Grace McGregor, handled both the meeting and hearing with con-cern, respect and fairness for the opinions of both the proponents and the opponents of this project.

Paul Beattie,

Christina Lake

Editor, The Gazette:An open letter to MLA Linda Larson

Syrian immigration to Canada is very impressive. To date, how-ever, I have not heard any refer-ence to the orphans of Syria.

I believe the many couples who would like to adopt have already waited many years for a child and are still waiting. What would it take/cost to collect information from the office of “Children and Families” to find out how many prospective couples would wel-come a child from Syria?

The pros for this are:1. No accommodations

required2. No English/French language

lessons3. Children raised with an “al-

ready Canadian” family a. learn English/French at

home b. educated in our school

system

c. be integrated into our cul-ture and religion

As you are already aware, some Canadians are not in favour of the present immigration situation. The high unemployment and econom-ic uncertainty weigh heavily on many Canadians. It is my belief no one would resent orphan children coming into Canada.

I am asking you to please present this to Prime Minister Trudeau.

This is not only a Canadian/humanitarian correct thing to do, but also politically correct thing to do.

Anyone finding this an impor-tant issue, please email our MLA Linda Larson at: Linda.Larson.MLA@leg.bc.ca or John McCal-lum, Minister for Immigration, john.mccallum@parl.gc.ca

Editor, The Gazette:A recent article in the Christina Lake News

highlighted the Christina Lake grant-in-aid disbursements from 2015 to, among others, Christina Gateway CDA. I’m writing this letter so residents can get a sense of what we do as a non-profit organization.

Before getting into the specifics, allow me to touch on Gateway’s vision for Christina Lake: an economically, socially and environmentally viable community into the future. Our mis-sion is to mobilize the community to address strategic community issues.

Our main goals are to:1. Increase intra community communication 2. Strengthen community organizations at

Christina Lake 3. Strengthen existing businesses 4. Develop and attract new businesses 5. Strengthen marketing of Christina Lake

and its attributes, events and business opportunities

A grant in January 2015 enabled us to advertise Christina Lake. This fits the broader marketing strategy of promoting our shoulder season activities, in this case, biking trails. As everyone at the Lake knows, we have about 10 weeks of high season followed by a fairly dra-matic decrease in both residents and visitors.

If we can cooperate to expand the visiting season by even four weeks to May and Octo-ber then we will strengthen our main industry and create a healthier local economy.

Homecoming started as a small celebration of seasonal residents returning for another summer. It has grown into an example of small town spirit right in the heart of the high season. Homecoming gives potential new residents a reason to keep coming back and to consider living here full-time.

The Community Newsletter started because we felt that residents didn’t know much about the work being done by the volunteers and non-profits at the Lake. Its purpose is to spread information about everyone who invests time and effort in this community. Submissions are gladly accepted to the below email address.

There is no individual membership to Gate-way, only organizations committed to improv-ing our community. At present membership includes the Christina Lake: Stewardship Society; Community Association; Firefighters Society; Fire Department; Arts and Artisans Society; Recreation Commission; Seniors’ Housing Society; and, Tourism Society. Those organizations send representatives to the Gate-way Board of Directors.

These grants enable Christina Gateway CDA to pursue the vision of an economically, socially and environmentally viable commu-nity into the future. We increased intra-com-munity communication with the newsletters. By helping the Seniors’ Housing Society we strengthened an organization at our commu-nity’s heart. The advertising and promotion through Homecoming and the community promotions broadcast Christina Lake to the world with the aim of attracting new visitors, businesses, and ultimately residents.

Thank you for the opportunity to share some of the work we do at Christina Gateway CDA.

Letters to the editor

Gatewaypursues visioninto the future

the city made an attempt to elicit public feed-back on the proposed bylaw before it was ad-opted by council in November of 2013.”

The report recognized the city’s efforts to engage residents after the decision was made “but we had concerns about the city’s lack of public consultation in advance of the decision to adopt the water meter program.”

“We discussed with the city that if it had consulted with the public prior to approving the iniatitive, decision makers would have been aware of the perspectives and conerns of residents,” the report said.

The Ombudsperson concluded that they asked the city to consider a public participation policy formalizing a commitment to citizen engagement on decision making, recognizing that “decisions are improved when citizens and other stakeholder groups are engaged in the decision-making process.”

The city agreed and on Dec. 14, 2015 council adopted a communications policy and proce-dures guideline which directs the city to apply the best practices and principles as outlined by the Auditor General of B.C.

“Based on the steps that Grand Forks has taken to improve its practice going forward, we have decided to conclude our investigation…,” said the report.

Beverley Tripp was one of the residents of Grand Forks to complain to the Ombudsper-son.

“As the Ombudsperson said in the report,” said Tripp. “The complaints were about the process that was followed by the city in terms of rolling out that water meter program. My bone of contention was I didn’t think the city gave the people of the town the adequate input or listened to the input of the people.”

Tripp said although she wasn’t completely happy with the result from the Ombudsper-son but she doesn’t anticipate any more follow up. She did, however, send a letter to council (printed in a previous Gazette as a letter to the editor) asking for restorative justice in regards to the Julia Butler court case to help “restore the wronged party’s dignity and includes more than the basic court directive to pay for all her legal costs; and finally, the commitment to desist from any further actions along the same lines.”

Mayor Frank Konrad wouldn’t comment on the report, saying that most of the details of the report are confidential.

Chamber elects 2016 boardThe Boundary Country Re-

gional Chamber of Commerce (BCRCC) held its first spring an-nual general meeting this year.

At Thursday’s meeting, which was held at gallery 2 Art and Heritage Centre, the direc-tors and members present heard from several speakers including Terry Woodruff, new executive director of gallery 2; Alan Coo-per, president of the chamber; and Kathy Wright, executive di-rector of the chamber.

Cooper talked about the suc-cess of programs such as the Business After Business net-working events. He also talked about how the chamber was needing to become self-suffi-cient, as start-up support from Community Futures tapered off. He also mentioned an ex-citing new chamber golf tour-nament coming Oct. 1 at the Christina Lake Golf and Coun-try Club.

Cooper outlined the 2016-17 strategic plan for the chamber which outlines how they want to grow and continue to work and improve community pros-perity.

Wright spoke about several programs including the mem-ber to member program, which provides discounts for mem-bers at participating businesses.

Woodruff talked about tak-ing over as the new executive

director of gallery 2 after the departure of Liz Barron as well as all the exciting upcoming shows.

BCRCC, which covers the entire Boundary, had 95 paid memberships for 2015 including 71 from Grand Forks, 10 from Christina Lake, four from Rock Creek, three from Midway, two from Greenwood and the Board of Trade; and five other. In 2016, the chamber has put out 154 in-voices for membership.

After the speeches, members voted for the board of directors. Seven members were elected with six incumbents (Sylvia Burch, Alan Cooper, Cathy Ko-rolek, John Fair, Shannon Profili and Ken Anderson) and one newcomer (Stephanie Boltz). Appointed board members are Jeff Fero, Grand Forks Credit Union; Chris Hammett, Grand Forks City Council (non-vot-ing/liason); and Jim Nathorst, Greenwood Board of Trade. Cooper was reelected as board chair, while Burch was reelected as treasurer. Fair was elected as board vice-chair.

“I think the AGM went really well,” Cooper told the Gazette. “I was really pleased with how many people we had out and the fact that we had to have an election. That was great. Often times you’re hunting for board members and encouraging peo-ple to come out. This time we had more people running than we had positions.”

Cooper said the reason for rescheduling the AGM from the fall to the spring was to make it fit with the bylaws. “It works far better for us to have the an-nual general meeting in fall. We thought we would reelect all board members. None of us would have continuing posi-tions. From now all AGMs will be in the fall.”

Cooper said the chamber will be looking for other fund-ing sources as their support from Community Futures ex-pires. “That’s why we’re run-ning a golf tournament in No-vember and are working hard to improve membership and encourage members to pur-chase chamber of commerce insurance for which we do get a rebate.”

Wright was also very happy with the turnout of 30 members and having 11 names put for-ward for nine board positions. She is also pleased with how her job has gone so far.

“I had an amazingly sup-portive board for my first six months on the job and I’m ex-cited to move forward in 2016 with my new board,” she said. “BCRCC encourages business and individuals to get involved in the chamber, renewing con-nections with old and new business relationships. I’d also like to thank our funding part-ners and membership for their interest in BCRCC and their continued support.”

Prepare for fall—fall fair, that is!

Official spring is right around the corner, and that means official fall is six months away. But it’s not too early to finish projects that never seem to get done in time for the fall fair, especially once spring is re-ally here.

Handmade work such as sewing, quilting, knitting, and paintings among others tend

to get put aside as the days get longer. As well as the many usual crafting categories the Grand Forks Fall Fair offers, B.C. Fairs has opened two cat-egories that will be sent from our fair to them for provincial judging: for children’s division (12 years and under), there will be a mini scarecrow competi-tion, using recycled materials; in the open division, there will be a photography competition, with “farming in B.C.” as the

subject. This will require a montage

of four colour photos (5”X7”), mounted; and just a hint, it’s calving season, time for some good pictures.

The Grand Forks Fall Fair is scheduled for Aug. 26-28. If you would be interested in volunteering for the fall fair for a couple of hours, or a couple days, contact Kelly McIver at 250- 442-3637 or e-mail at grandforksfallfair@gmail.com

Alas, spring isn’t just the time of year when nature springs to life or when you get to put your boots and parkas away. It is also income tax time. If preparing your income tax return is a real nightmare for you, you should know that there are many resources available that are designed to facilitate this chore.

Tax return software is available in stores and post offices. These allow you to fill out your income tax return on your computer and then send it to the govern-ment electronically. The software must, however, be authorized by government authorities.

CALL IN THE EXPERTSSome income tax software offers telephone help lines, either free or with a charge. Government or ganizations can also provide you with free tax-related assistance over the phone, as well as other services.

GETTING HELPIf you are on a low income, you might be eligible for a community program to have your in come tax return done for you. Call Revenue Canada or your local community services centre to find out if this is the case for you. During income tax time, some organizations and volun-teer groups set up free workshops to help people on low incomes com-plete their own in come tax returns.

Tax laws are complex and are con-stantly changing. If you believe that your tax situation is compli-cated, perhaps because you are a landlord who re ceives revenue from rental properties or because you own a small business, entrust your bookkeeping and tax return to professional accountants. They have the expertise to deal with every tax situation and can help you maximize your savings.

Income tax SOS

Governments lose billions of tax dol-lars every year from the income of individuals and businesses, as well as from un paid taxes. Tax evasion can take many different forms: Tax shelters, undeclared work, excessive tax planning, om itting to submit an income tax return or to declare rev-enue earned from investments on the stock exchange, etc.

CONSEQUENCES FOR TAX EVADERSTax evasion has major consequences for those who are caught: it can result in a criminal conviction. If they are found guilty, they could receive a heavy fine, go to prison or end up with a criminal record with all the negative repercussions this situation can result in.

CONSEQUENCES FOR THE GENERAL PUBLICThis embezzlement of public funds also has consequences for society in general. Governments invest considerable sums of money in attempting to catch poor payers and tax evaders. This money, added to that lost every year due to tax evasion, amounts to a huge loss of revenue for governments. These losses directly affect their level of debt and influence their capacity to provide services and to finance programs in response to the needs of our society; social programs are often the first to be cut. Moreover, law-abiding individuals see their tax burden increased unfairly.

Tax evaders, as much as society in general, are affected by tax eva-sion. So pay what you owe now before having to pay too much at a later date.

Dishonesty never pays

Mimi, a 13-year-old tortoise shell calico cat, has used up every one of her lives.

Mimi was trapped under a truck on a property in Rock Creek that burned during the fires this summer. Mimi and the truck were the only two things that weren’t incinerated the fire.

Although the cat survived, she had ex-tensive damage to her paws. Fortunately,

the staff at Grand Forks Central Veteri-nary Services graciously donated time and services to help Mimi. In addition, more than $2,000 was raised through a GoFundMe account.

Mimi’s owner Peri Best was so grateful for the help from the vet that she donated a painting she did of Mimi to the veteri-nary office.

Best donated the painting and shared hugs with the veterinary office staff on Friday.

Peri Best donated a painting in appreciation of the help she received with her injured cat. Pictured with the painting are (from left) Best, Heather Lourds, Car-ole Scholz, Brandi Moritz and Norma Bicknell.

CROSSWORD

LAST WEEK’SSOLUTION

Survival day was funWinter survival presentation

Perley Elementary teacher Andrew McKinlay was on hand at the School Dis-trict 51 (SD51) Board of Education meeting on March 8 to gave a presentation on the annual winter survival day.

On Feb. 4, McKinlay along with other teachers, parents, and over 200 students from grades 4-7 from around the Bound-ary descended upon Fisherman Creek. McKinlay said they worked on basic sur-vival skills such as building quinzees (snow forts) and campfires. He said it was a great day of fun and learning.

“The kids loved it,” said McKinlay.

Coding in classrooms McKinlay also gave a presentation on

coding (basic computer programming) in classrooms. He supplied trustees and members of the audience with iPads with a program that teaches the basics of cod-ing. Computer coding is one of the com-ponents looked at in the new K-12 curric-ulum redesign, which is being phased in over the next three school years.

McKinlay has his students (Grade 4/5) at Perley work on coding usually with two half hour sessions per week. “They love it,” he said. “There are a few different apps they can use. They can choose their own. They’re getting good.”

McKinlay also showed off a robotic ball device called Sphero, which the students

program what to do and where to go. Al-though it didn’t work at the board meet-ing, McKinlay said it worked fine the next day at school.

“It did work the next day with the kids,” he said. “They can code it. They tell it to move certain distances forward and to turn left or right. You’re actually moving the ball around the school.” School calendar

SD51 trustees voted on the 2016-17 school calendar including when next year’s Christmas break will fall for Bound-ary schools. By a 3-2 margin (with Katie Je-psen and Cathy Strukoff absent due to ill-ness), trustees decided on Dec. 22 - Jan. 8.

Before making the decision, trustees discussed the two options, with the losing one being Dec. 15 - Jan. 2. Trustees com-missioned a poll of Grade 9-11 students, parents and staff on which dates they pre-ferred. Students were 54-46 per cent in fa-vour of Dec. 15 - Jan. 2; parents were 48-52 per cent in favour of Dec. 22 - Jan. 8; and teachers were 37-63 per cent in favour of Dec. 22 - Jan. 8.

Kevin Argue, superintendent of schools, said that it’s harder to keep kids focused closer to Christmas. Regarding the poll, trustee David Reid said, “If you ask for an opinion, you should use it.” Board president Teresa Rezansoff said that some families will take their kids out of school to go on Christmas vacations later

in December. In the end, trustees Rezansoff, Reid and

Mark Danyluk voted in favour of the win-ning Dec. 22 - Jan. 8, while trustees Cathy Riddle and Rose Zitko voted against.

The school calendar for next year in-cludes 163 days in session including 155 days of instruction; seven non-instruction-al days; and one administrative day. The length of the school day for GFSS is seven hours and 14 minutes with 375 minutes (6.25 hours) of instruction per day. At Hut-ton and Perley Elementaries the school day is six hours and 50 minutes with 342 minutes of instruction per day; while, the length of school day at Christina Lake El-ementary is six hours and 47 minutes with 342 minutes of instruction per day.

At Boundary Central Secondary the length of the day is seven hours and 11 minutes with 375 minutes per day.

Greenwood Elementary’s length of school day is six hours and 49 minutes with 342 minutes of instruction per day, while Midway Elementary’s is six hours and 43 minutes with 375 minutes of in-struction per day.

West Boundary Elementary’s school day is seven hours and 12 minutes with 342 minutes per day of instruction for the elementary side and 375 minutes of in-struction per day for the secondary side. Beaverdell Elementary’s school day is six hours and 57 minutes with 342 minutes per day (Elem) and 375 minutes per day (Sec).

Library plan approvedA new strategic plan will serve

to guide library operations and ac-tivities for the next fi ve years, an-nounced board chair Martin Domeij at the Grand Forks and District Pub-lic Library annual general meeting on March 2.

About 25 people came out to hear a review of the library’s year, and its plan for the future.

“A very important step for us this year is the adoption of a new strate-gic plan,” Domeij said, explaining that as part of the process of creating the plan, the library carried out a survey of a a representative sample of area residents, both patrons and non-pa-trons. Staff and board members were also consulted, and all the information was analyzed to draft the plan.

“We concluded that, at this time, our course and goals should be the improvement of already-strong ser-vice delivery, a broader cooperative reach-out to community groups and a concentration of our capital resources on modest facility upgrades,” Domeij said.

The plan was approved unani-mously.

Staff changes marked 2015, most notably Cari Lynn Postnikoff taking over as library director for Avi Silber-stein, and the resignation of senior

staff member Renee Milaney.Domeij added, “In particular I want

to mention the late Roy Ronaghan. Roy served on this library board int he early 2000s and he had a very strong interest in libraries and their central, but evolving, role in society. He acted as our chaperone, asking important questions and lending us his advice and council. We thank his memory and example.”

Of note in the fi nancial statement was mention of the city’s commitment to the building, which it owns. In the last fi ve-year maintenance agreement (2011 - 2015), the library has paid the city $15,000 per year—except in this last year, when the city reduced that amount to $10,000. A new mainte-nance agreement is being negotiated for 2016.

Utilities also were considerably lower in 2015, thanks primarily to an upgrade to the building’s lighting sys-tem. “In combination with the previ-ous year’s upgrade to the HVAC sys-tem, we can expect even more savings on our energy bill,” said Postnikoff. “With the strategic plan’s focus on sus-tainability, this is an accomplishment of which we are especially proud.”

The election to the board of trustees saw all members retaining their seats. The board is comprised of Domeij, William Caley, David Rostek, Phil Lefkowitz, Wayne Hind, Elise Rimbey, Ralph Russell and Val Rich.

DELLA MALLETTEGrand Forks Gazette

Here are the fi nal three ways the Phoenix Foundation of the Boundary Communi-ties “spends” money.

The Flow-Through Fund is a mechanism created to fa-cilitate the funding of specifi c projects in the community that require an incorporated orga-nization with charitable status.

These funds do not become part of our endowments, and we do not invest them. We simply receive money and pass it on. So, for example, budget money to operate the Success By Six programs (all across the Boundary area) must be held by an organiza-tion such as Phoenix Founda-tion in order to comply with the expectations of its funder.

Last year our Flow-Through account paid out $49,670 to Boundary Fam-ily and Individual Services Society (BFISS) for the Suc-cess By 6 program. Fund-ing comes from United Way, Lower Mainland. In addition, in 2015, we sent along $13,950 for the Rotary Spray Park (funds accummulated from local individuals, donating for that specifi c cause).

Corporate Funds include funds created by Canpar In-

dustries Ltd., Grand Forks District Savings Credit Union, PivotPoint, Pope & Talbot Ltd., Roxul Inc., and Unifab Industries Ltd. Values of these funds total approximately $892,647.

There are also 19 Family Funds with values totalling approximately $262,292.

At the time that a new fund is set up, the donor is asked how they wish the rev-enues that will be generated from the fund to be used. Is this a memorial fund for a cherished person? Is this to be a scholarship fund? Per-haps the donor wishes to help in a more general way, with programs for youth, seniors, the environment, health—or another specifi c “fi eld-of-in-terest” fund.

Perhaps donors have a specifi c organization in mind such as Friends of the Library, Grand Forks Art Gallery or Boundary Museum. Or may-

be they choose simply “gener-al granting purposes” leaving the yearly decision making to the grants committee (more on also at another time).

Some funds remain “do-nor-advised” on a yearly basis. That is, the person/people/organization that originally set up the fund did not give permanent instruc-tions regarding where to di-rect revenues from their fund. Instead they wish to decide each year how their revenues should be directed.

A floor hockey team with four Grand Forks area players picked up second place at the Special Olympics Winter Games in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labra-dor on March 1-5. Playing for Team BC - Kootenay from the Boundary were Brogan Beliveau, Charlie Kain and Mike Windsor of Grand Forks and Jacob Raschpichler of Christina Lake. Head coach of the team was Derek Taylor of Grand Forks. Filling out the team, which is also known as the Kootenay Storm, were players from Cres-ton, Burnaby and Trail.

The Kootenay Storm won all three games in the round-robin at the Winter Games, beating Vancouver 10-4, Brock-ville, Ontario 5-1 and Northern Alberta 16-0. The team would then have a rematch with Vancouver in the all-B.C. final. Un-fortunately, the Storm fell short falling 3-2 to Vancouver.

Taylor said the opening round games were grueling after having travelled across the country. “When you travel a long dis-

tance and then you get there and have to play, it’s tough,” he said. “It was a really good tournament. We really felt the strong competition.”

Taylor said he would have liked to have seen a better distribution of teams into the divisions.

“The divisioning was a little off,” he said. “I think there were teams in other divisions that got beat up pretty bad that we should’ve been divisioned into so we

could have proper play. It’s not an easy job the divisioning committee has.”

Taylor said after the Storm won their division they advanced to the final game with Team BC-Vancouver. “They actually pulled some upsets to get there and then they upset us to take the gold,” he said. “We’ve played them several times and they’ve never been close. Our boys played their hearts out. I pulled out all the stops. It was like the NHL—I loaded the back-

line, I pulled the goalie. It was amazing. It was the most exciting game in the whole tournament. People came over from other places to watch it.”

Taylor said it was great learning experi-ence for his players.

“Things have changed a lot in the Spe-cial Olympics,” he said. “Some of the play-ers played harder than I’ve ever seen. It was really good.”

Team BC - Kootenay Storm had a strong Grand Forks and area flavour with four players and a head coach all from here. Top left is coach Derek Taylor, while Brogan Beliveau is third from left at top followed by Jake Rathschpiler and Charlie Cain. Front right is Mike Windsor. Submitted photo

The Transition to and Life in Residential Care

Playoff run ends for Border BruinsIt was a heck of a ride for the Grand

Forks Border Bruins this season but af-ter falling four games to one to Beaver Valley in the division final—it’s over. Making the playoffs for the first time in 19 years was an incredible accomplish-ment for a young, inexperienced team with a new coaching staff coming off an eight-win season.

With new coach and general man-ager Emery Olauson and assistant coach Britt Ouellette, the Bruins were able to acquire a number of “castoffs” and mold them into a very competitive team this year. Building around players released and discarded from other teams is never easy but the coaches made it work get-ting to the division final.

“Overall, I think we overachieved as a team this year,” said Olauson. “The credit goes to the players just simply outworking other teams.”

The Border Bruins improved from eight wins and last place in the Neil Murdoch Division to 23 wins and third place in the division. The Bears then took on the second place Castlegar Rebels in the first round of the KIJHL playoffs and promptly disposed of the favoured Rebs (32-15-3-2) squad in six games.

The win over Castlegar propelled GF into the division final against the top-seeded Beaver Valley Nitehawks. The Bruins struggled to find the back of the net against BVs red-hot netminder Tal-lon Kramer and found themselves down 3-0 in the series before bouncing back to win game four in double overtime.

Facing elimination in game four at home, the Bruins came from behind to tie the game 1-1 in the second period with a power play marker from Austin Dean assisted by Tyler Fyfe and Lo-gan Hascarl. After a scoreless overtime Chad Grambo got the game winner at 1:05 of the second OT assisted by Fyfe and Dean. Anthony Galliart picked up the team’s game star, stopping 40 of 41 shots.

In game five in Fruitvale, the Bruins struggled to get any offence going. The team only managed to put 11 shots on net and were shut out by Kramer. The fi-nal score was 4-0 for Beaver Valley who move on to the conference final against

the Kimberley Dyna-miters.

“They’re very deep; very veteran; very experienced in the playoffs,” said Olauson. “Top to bottom from coach-ing staff is very good. They have a lot of 20-year-olds con-tributing a ton. They were built for this year. Realistically we’re on a path to be where they are at age wise next year or the year after if everyone returns.”

Most of the Bruin players are eligible to return next year and the coaches are looking forward to filling the holes left by the players who graduated. “Our young guys are very promising for this level,” said Olauson. “We’re poised to re-turn a good amount of our core contribu-tors next year. Next year is a long way away but we’re looking forward to our 18-year-olds turning 19 and our 19-year-olds turning 20. They’ve gained some very valuable experience.” Bear bites

Austin Dean led the Bruins in playoff scoring with five goals and 11 points in 11 games. Jordan Robertson was second with three goals and eight points in nine games, while Logan Casavant scored seven points in 10 games.Contract talk

Olauson said he has yet to receive any contact offer from the Border Bruins organization. His current contract lasts until June 15, 2016.

“That’s the missing piece right now for us,” he said. “How do you enter an off-season and recruit and things like that when you’re not sure who you’re recruiting for: yourself or someone else. Those things tend to iron themselves

out. I would expect at least an offer and we’ll see if that comes or not. All we can do is go to work until the contract is up.”

Olauson said it’s difficult to wait until June 15 before knowing what the future is for himself and his young fam-ily. “I would expect if there’s not some wheels in motion by that time that we’ll be off to the next adventure,” he said. “Obviously, we’re hoping to stay. We’re planting a garden and I’d hate to see someone else eat my veggies.”

He said the coaching staff will con-tinue to work hard on bringing a strong team to town for next season.

“It’s business as usual and I’ll do the best job I can forming a team for next year,” he said. “We’re trying to recruit some good players to our spring camp and keep interest high in the commu-nity. We want to keep that community support going and build on that playoff success.”

The Grand Forks Aquatic Centre doors open at 6 a.m. Mon-day, Wednesday and Friday mornings with the first dedicated fit-ness enthusiast arriving to start the day with a circuit weight training class.

By 9 a.m. the first Aquafit class of the day is under way…the rhythmic beat synchronizes with the direction of the instructor leading the participants who are enjoying the 86° F soothing water. In the hot tub, relaxation is the goal…104° F of bubbling water…life is good.

The World Day of Prayer 2016, written by the World Day of Prayer Committee of Cuba (“Receive Children; Receive Me”) was held at the Grand Forks USCC Commu-nity Centre on Friday, March 4.

It was co-hosted by the Union of Spiritual Communi-ties of Christ and Christ Lu-theran Church with partici-pation by Baptist, Anglican,

United, Sacred Heart, Chris-tian, and Gospel churches of Grand Forks.

USCC Executive Director JJ Verigin and Christ Luther-an Pastor Ken Schauer spoke

from the heart to approxi-mately 85 people in atten-dance at this year’s service which included readings, prayers, singing and a musi-cal performance.

The fellowship contin-ued over light refreshments downstairs which featured a beautiful display of photos taken in Cuba by Terry and Val Rilkoff.

The Union of Spiritu-al Communities of Christ (USCC) held its annual con-vention on Feb. 27 and 28 at the Brilliant Cultural Centre in Castlegar.

Attending delegates in-cluded Executive Committee members, community repre-sentatives for the Kootenay Boundary region, representa-tives of outlying areas (open list), as well as representa-tives of the many groups and committees within the USCC.

Convention delegates ex-pressed their appreciation to JJ Verigin for his service to the membership and orga-nization, and unanimously reaffirmed him in his role as executive director. Verigin thanked the delegates for their confidence and support and pledged to continue ef-forts to deepen the spiritual understanding, and to broad-en the cultural horizons of the organization’s member-ship, and to strengthen sense of community.

Delegates also expressed their thanks to members of the organization’s governing body, the Executive Commit-tee, including chairperson Peter Zaytsoff of Ootisch-enia, treasurer Robert Zwick

of Glade, and outgoing members (secretary Michael Davidoff of Ootischenia, Bonnie Strukoff of Delta, Maxim Voykin of Vancouver and Sam Semenoff of Grand Forks) for their effective guidance and prudent man-agement of organizational affairs.

All delegates and mem-bers present expressed their gratitude for the dedicated efforts of the outgoing Ex-ecutive Committee and wel-comed new committee mem-bers Bill and Liz Pepin, and Dmitri Makortoff of Grand Forks; Jan Kabatoff of Kre-stova, and Ed Dergousoff of Surrey, B.C. Delegates also welcomed Liana Zwick, who accepted the position of com-munity representative for youth, membership and com-munications (YMC), Koote-nay South.

Delegates thanked the serving community repre-sentatives: For Kootenay South Communities, Colin Markin – Spiritual and Cul-tural Development (SCD), and Ellie Davidoff – interim rep for Youth, Member-ship and Communications (YMC). For Kootenay North Communities, Edna Sapriken (SCD) and Paul Strelive (in-terim YMC). For Grand Forks Communities, Barry Verigin

(Interim SCD), Stephanie LeClair (YMC), and Larry Jmaiff – Finances and Asset Stewardship (FAS).

During the course of the convention ably chaired by Liana Zwick, delegates ac-cepted reports from members of the Executive Committee, community representatives and from the many groups and committees within the organization.

Resolutions passed by the delegates included a pro-posed donation increase of five per cent to local members and 10 per cent to members on the open list; amendments to the USCC constitution ac-ceptable to the Charities Di-rectorate and Canada Rev-enue Agency (CRA); options to sell property if necessary; and an amended terms of reference for the Champion Creek Forestry Management Committee.

Other concerns that were discussed included making improvements to the Brilliant Cultural Centre and Sirots-koye, the official residence.

Delegates and observers welcomed Ellie Davidoff to her new role as secretary/re-ceptionist at the Brilliant Cul-tural Centre, and acknowl-edged with appreciation the diligent efforts of Executive Committee treasurer Rob-

ert Zwick, Theresa Dergou-soff, CPA, CA, accounting clerk Fay Malins, and Evelyn Voykin for dealing with the organization’s audit by CRA.

Delegates also expressed their appreciation and grati-tude to the caretakers of our facilities, Larry Kurnoff, re-cently hired as caretaker of the Grand Forks Community Centre (GFCC) and Gerry Hoodicoff for his continued attentiveness to the Brilliant Cultural Centre (BCC).

Minutes of the conven-tion were recorded by El-len Strelaeff of Grand Forks and Marcia Strelaeff of Pass Creek.

All those present on Sat-urday enjoyed a wonderful luncheon and refreshments prepared by the USCC Koo-tenay Ladies Organization.
