Bootleggers escape from courtroom in 1922
Grand Forks Minor Hockey Association would like to say a
1907 Walter Barron, who was watering his horse near the foot of Winnipeg Avenue, tried to save his horse and wagon when the force of the current dragged the animal into the river. With the assistance of a logger he was pulled to shore but was unable to save the horse. 1912 Thousands of logs, representing 30 million board feet of lumber, with an approximate value of $500,000, were being driven down the North Fork, and the main Kettle River, to the three local sawmills: Dominion Sawmills, Robinson & Lequime Lumber, and Danville Lumber. 1917 The Great Northern Hotel, built 10 years ago, was demolished by fire. Owners, S.J. Matthews and F.L. Peterson were both out of town. 1922 The Gazette carried numerous stories of liquor charges and illegal liquor trade across the border. Reported as a wild west epic was the escape from the courtroom of suspects who headed for the border, with lawmen in close pursuit. Al Traunweiser, Jim Reeder and Peter Thompson cannot be served with arrest warrants as their act has exiled them from Canada. “Dodie” Peone of Danville is in jail after pretending to be a U.S. officer preventing booze running across the border. He shot a bullet through a cargo when the car failed to stop at his signal. 1927 The Grand Forks Floricultural Society has 43 boys and girls entered in the juvenile garden competition. The official opening of the tennis courts of the Grand Forks Tennis Club took place May 7.

Vandalism spree in Grand Forks
CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
On May 9, between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., there were a string of overnight incidents of rocks being thrown through windows of vehicles and homes in Grand Forks. “Somebody was driving around and we think it was the same suspect,” explained Grand Forks RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. “We’re interested in a brown Ford pickup truck. It’s a possible suspect vehicle though we’re not sure.” At 7 a.m., it was reported that a rock was thrown through the rear and side window of a canopy of a pickup truck on 7th Street. At 7:10 a.m., it was reported that sometime around 4 a.m., someone threw a rock through a residence on Como Road. At 8:07 a.m., police received a report of a broken decorative light in the front of a home on Eagle Ridge Road. It occurred sometime between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m., though no one saw or heard anything. At 8:35 a.m., there was another report that someone had thrown a rock through the rear window of Chrysler Intrepid on Kettle River Road. There was $400 worth of damages. RCMP also believes that a report made at 8:46 a.m. was done by the same people. Somebody cut the soft top of a vehicle and stole a stereo faceplate
on Industrial Parkway. A fibre glass sub box, an amplifier and a battery were stolen and it is estimated that in total, $3,000 worth of items stolen were from the vehicle. At 9:18 a.m., there was another report that somebody threw a rock through the windshield of a rock on Central Avenue. Later that day, police received another report that somebody threw a rock through the windshield on 75th Avenue. There was $300 worth of damages. “We believe all of them are linked and probably the same perpetrators who had access to a vehicle because it was widespread throughout the community,” said Harrison. On the May 10, there was another string of events reported, this time involving vandalized mailboxes “These are all similar, two on Granby Road, one on McCallum View Road, one on 73rd Avenue, one on Hardy Mountain Road, two off North Fork Road and one on Carson Road,” said Harrison. “Somebody went on a spree pushing over mailboxes.” According to Harrison, police received information provided from someone who was up at 3 a.m. and saw a brown Ford pickup truck driving around. “Anybody with any information on any of these willful damages we’d love to hear from them to put an end to this nonsense,” he added. Call RCMP at 250-442-8288.

❚ ASSAULT
Moto fight victim placed in coma CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
A Grand Forks resident was airlifted to Kelowna General Hospital with severe head injuries sustained after a fight on May 13. The victim, who’s name has not been released, was struck with a glass liquor bottle and according to an RCMP media release, was placed in a medically-induced coma. The victim may undergo extensive reconstructive plastic surgery to his face, and will possibly lose the use of his right eye. Police attended a local party spot known as moto (east of Grand Forks) on Sunday around 3 a.m. after receiving a complaint about a suspicious male with a knife. There was a bush party occurring, with a group of teenagers and several others in their early 20s when the fight broke out. Several altercations were also reported along with the assault. “The fight got out of hand and an individual was struck in the face with the broken bottle,” stated Grand Forks RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison. The media release noted that alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor, though the investigation is ongoing. Timothy Lafreniere, 21, of Grand Forks has been charged with aggravated assault and was scheduled to appear before a judge yesterday (May 15). Grand Forks RCMP wish to remind the public that underage and public consumption of alcohol is against the law. “Police will be clamping down on bush parties and charges will be laid for infractions against the liquor act,” RCMP said. “Parents are advised to be aware of what their children are doing and the inherent dangers of allowing them to attend outdoor parties where there is no supervision and alcohol is present.”
A meeting between Interior Health Authority officials, including CEO Dr. Robert Halpenny, and Grand Forks residents will take place at Boundary Hospital in Grand Forks on Wednesday, May 23 at 4 p.m. KARL YU PHOTO
KARL YU Gazette Editor
Interior Health Authority (IHA) officials will finally hold a meeting in Grand Forks to discuss local residents’ health care concerns at Boundary Hospital. Christine Thompson, chair of the local Concerned Citizens for Community Health Care group, said she received confirmation that IHA officials, including IHA CEO Dr. Robert Halpenny and Board Chair Norman Embree, will be in Grand Forks at Boundary Hospital on Wednesday, May 23 at 4 p.m. at the hospital’s board room. Thompson also said there would only be 30 minutes allotted for the meeting and Karl Hardt, a communications officer for Interior Health, said that the meeting with residents is only one of many that IHA executives would be attending that day. “The length of the meeting was determined based on the fact that the CEO and board chair have several stakeholder meetings while in Grand Forks,” Hardt explained in an email. Hardt also said that due to regulations and
safety, there would only be a limited number of people that can attend. “Recognizing the meeting room can hold up to a specific number of people (approximately 50 people based on local government regulations) we’ve suggested to Christine Thompson that she co-ordinate the attendance to ensure the number of people attending does not exceed capacity,” continued Hardt. “We all have a responsibility to ensure that hospital operations are not negatively impacted.” In a letter to the editor (see page 5), Thompson told said that minus IHA attendees and the media, there would be room for 40 people. It appeared that the meeting would take place on Feb. 15 but when Thompson sought confirmation, she was notified that it was postponed until the May 23 date. There are a number of health care-related concerns for locals, including senior care and Broadacres Care Facility, just to name a few. Thompson originally approached IHA about a meeting while a city councillor, at last September’s Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conference in Vancouver, B.C.

Keep cool during IHA meeting Interior Health Authority (IHA) CEO Dr. Robert Halpenny, Board Chair Norman Embree and other officials will be in Grand Forks for a meeting with locals. The date has been set for Wednesday, May 23 at 4 p.m. at the Boundary Hospital board room in Grand Forks. City officials first contacted IHA officials at last September’s Union of British Columbia Municipalities conference in Vancouver and locals have numerous concerns about health care in the area. A meeting, thought to be set for February, was postponed and one of the reasons IHA gave at the time was in order to, “avoid long travel for its directors and because of dangerous winter road conditions,” and while that is a legitimate reason, that didn’t sit well and angered some people. People wrote letters to The Gazette asking if they had to travel the highways during winter to go to hospitals in areas such as Kelowna and Trail, why couldn’t IHA executives travel to Grand Forks? Then there is the situation with Broadacres Care Facility, where owner and operator Rod Gustafson was passed over during a request for proposals for 40 residential care beds last year, despite Broadacres being operational. Golden Life Management was the successful proponent and is currently building Silver Kettle Village on 72nd Avenue and 25th Street and it is estimated that it will be complete by this September. And while Grand Forks residents likely have a long, long list of grievances to air with IHA there has only been 30 minutes set aside for the meeting – not enough time for everyone to ask questions. Nevertheless, cooler heads must prevail at the meeting. Residents have a lot to get of their chests but it benefits no one if people show up foaming at the mouth. A meeting such as this works best when rational discourse takes place, so that people can get their concerns across to IHA brass – that won’t happen with shouting, screaming and obscenities, although it’s possible people will feel like doing just that. There’s nothing wrong with being passionate, as health care is important to many, if not all, in the community and some don’t agree with how IHA has been conducting business but it’s best to curb your anger. Feel free to be passionate but don’t cross the line.

Un-bearable lightness of wildlife Its muzzle slick with berry juices, a young male bear can be seen making its way through green valleys harvesting for food. After months of quiet hibernation, the bear, with its sensitized nose and hungry stomach searches for readily available nutrients. In sprawling farms, white flocks of sheep roam freely and when in tightly knit groups, reminds me of clouds floating in green skies. Closer to the city, mother deer and their baby fawns graze the lawns of residents. Fur matted down and scraggly, the deer are equally starved for freshly grown nature, including the sprouting flowers. I was quite surprised by how closely the deer allow you to walk when I first arrived in Grand Forks – close enough to touch really. Of course, when I first moved here, I didn’t realize

there were jokes about pot-protecting bears, Vietnamese pigs and grazing deer. The enlightenment came courtesy of a YouTube video clip of a Russian broadcast reporter who couldn’t stop laughing. It definitely provides a laugh when you’re watching from a screen miles away, but then you enter the city and realize those bear may need to be put down. They may appear kind and fuzzy, but the fact of the matter is they can be equally dangerous at a flip of a coin. Growing up in the big cities, first Vancouver then Missis-
sauga, a bit of nature is lost to city dwellers. Upon hearing ideas or whispers of the numbers of bears or deer that have been put down, it’s all outrage and upset. I can understand that perfectly, but until the full story is laid out in full, it’s a bit of a mixed bag of chaos. Driving down the streets of Grand Forks, having deer randomly sprint across is a hazard that any one can agree on. Even within rural cities, there are some who are adamant about culling city deer, while others are as vocally against such a move. Unfortunately, it’s not a black and white picture and there is a lot of grey in between. For certain, decisions will not (and should not) be made lightly and all options should be looked at with an open eye and ear.

It’s a question of priorities and she got it right. Since the trail society is registered and enabled to issue tax receipts, it might seek grants from the premier’s vaunted “free enterprise” sector. It’s “free” because it pays low royalties and taxes and is subsidized to boot. Now that is free enterprise! Successful applications to, say, big oil could bring us the Enron fast track, the Kinder Morgan quad line, or even the Suncor Sunshine Valley tarry way. Facetiousness apart, not our community, nor our province, nor our country should be condoning projects with inherent further harm to our environment. The hare-brained corporatized depletion of all of our natural resources means we bequeath a cruel legacy to the future and allow utter lack of national prosperity in our own time. The trails society must be content with efforts to date, take a bow and step out of the limelight. I support rigorous strictures on the expenditure of public funds, which is why I wrote the premier demanding a denial of the application. I’m relieved that she took heed, though not smug about it.

Spring ❚ INFRASTRUCTURE Fling 2012 Trail to Hell a great is paved event with good intention Editor:
Editor: Re: Paving a trail (letter, April 11 issue of the the Grand Forks Gazette) As mine is a dissident voice against the notion of a tar sands strip along the endangered Kettle River to Christina Lake, I’m pleased to pen a response to George Longden’s recent letter to The Gazette. Gazette. Ecological ramifications alone should be enough to abandon this risky project but this taxpayer is angered by politicians trotting onto convenient stages, proffering my monies to dubious undertakings. The premier, by denying the Grand Forks Community Trail Society’s application, admits that the piggy bank is depleted and further acknowledges that cosmetic trifles strung out across sensitive landscapes must be denied in favour of the more dire needs of the substantive infrastructure.
Congratulations to Steve McGibbon and the Grand Forks Pipes and Drums for hosting the very successful Spring Fling the weekend of May 4. There were nine bands competing in this event and they came from Kelowna, the Kootenays, Kimberley, Kamloops, Penticton, Kalamalka, Shuswap, Trail and Vernon. The highlight of the event had to be the parade of the massed bands down Market Avenue, led by the RCMP and members of the local Royal Canadian Legion. The judge of the games was a very well known judge, Nigel Alaykia, who came from Penticton. The winning band came from Kamloops, led by Pipe Major Scot Kortegaard. This event really put Grand Forks on the map. Hugh Sutherland started the Grand Forks Pipes and Drums band many years ago. John Pratt of Christina Lake was the Chief Drummer.

Worries about Lynch Creek logging Editor: Re: Lynch Creek logs (letter, May 9 issue of the Grand Forks Gazette)) Gazette I am writing in support of Dave Talarico’s letter in regard to proposed logging in the Lynch Creek area up the North Fork. I too, am worried about the impact that road construction and logging will have on the endangered wildlife populations that rely upon this area for their feeding grounds and migratory routes. When noted biologists, such as Wayne McCrory, warn about the dangers of road construction and habitat fragmentation in this area, I think we should pay attention. My frustration is that this is just one of many environmental issues requiring our attention. For instance, there is the recent decision to approve Jumbo Wild, the impending decision to approve the Northern Gateway Project and oil tanker traffic down our west coast, and the twinning of the Kinder Morgan pipeline, to name just a few. I think it’s time to ask the question who is responsible for stewarding our eco-systems – who are the caretakers of our commons? These forests, oceans, rivers, streams, watersheds, airsheds, foodsheds – these are our commons. They are not owned by government or the private sector. They are the resources we have inherited from our ancestors and they are resources we are morally obligated to protect, preserve and replenish so they can be there for future generations to meet their needs. Over the past 100 years, the resources of our commons have been privatized for commercial gain. We have sacrificed many natural resources and wildlife in the belief that nature was resilient and could always recover. Finally, however, we are realizing that there are limits to growth. Our ecosystems can only tolerate so much disintegration before their vital systemic interconnections collapse, destroying many life forms in the process. Let’s not let that happen in the Lynch Creek area. Margaret Steele Grand Forks
Ban high-powered wake board boats at the Lake Taking care of the Christina Lake watershed is a daunting task, particularly because of its popularity as a destination vacation spot for thousands of people during the summer months. Over a decade ago, the ROY RONAGHAN Christina Lake Stewardship Society (CLSS) took on the task of monitoring what was happening and eventually developed a watershed management plan that includes both the human and wildlife communities, to ensure that the lake and its watershed remains in good health for generations. The CLSS has a broad mandate that includes the maintenance of water quality. The preservation and enhancement of fish habitat and the prevention of non-indigenous aquatic plants and animals from entering the lake are major ongoing requirements. A matter that is beyond the jurisdiction of the CLSS is the increasing impact that personal watercraft (PWC) and high-powered wake board boats are having around the lake. The wakes from these specially designed watercraft are now responsible for damage to wharfs, retaining walls and riparian areas – the visible damage. What are not visible are water pollution, weed distribution and damage to the water ecology. The problems caused by wake boats were discussed at the Annual General Meeting of the CLSS on Thursday, March 15 and it was generally agreed that an education program would help lessen them. It was suggested that a carefully worded pamphlet, with information about the problems that watercraft cause and the actions that operators could take to reduce them, be distributed during the summer. Boaters will be asked to operate their craft only down the middle of the lake, the belief being that their wakes will lose energy by the time it hits the shoreline and that noise levels will be lowered considerably. Over the past decade, noise levels on the lake have also gone up and safety issues have also increased. They present challenges of a different sort. The education program is a positive step, but it requires the full cooperation of boat owners. What action will be taken if the request is ignored? The alternative that is being avoided is a ban on the noisy, wake-producing vessels. The fear of doing so is the economic loss to tourism-oriented businesses. While there might be some immediate economic loss to the community if powerboats were banned, that loss would be more than compensated for by an increase in the number of visitors who bring and use pleasure craft that are more appropriate to the size and vulnerabilities of the lake. No one asks the other important questions. Do property owners not have a right to the quiet enjoyment of the lake? Do visitors not have a right to the quiet enjoyment of the south-end beach and the other isolated beaches? Do canoeists, kayakers and the owners of small sailboats not have a right to engage in their favourite recreational pursuits without fear of being swamped? Residents must look into the future on this issue. Manufacturers are promising to add extra ballast and increase the power of their boats with the object of creating bigger wakes. They are even adding such equipment as weed whackers to keep weeds out of their propellers. Boat sound systems are also being built to project their sound further than conventional speakers. Putting off a decision to ban big powerboats, wake boats and jet skis will encourage a worsening of the problems. Just imagine being able to enjoy the lake in a kayak, a canoe or a small sailboat on a sunny summer day. The quiet would be thoroughly enjoyable. Such images can become the new reality if residents have the will to build a strong case that will gain the support of the board of directors of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary and Transport Canada. It will require dogged determination to achieve the goal of a peaceful recreational spot, but the payoff will be highly satisfying. – Roy Ronaghan is a columnist for the Grand Forks Gazette

SD51 contemplates Bill 36 at Christina Lake is now
SEASON OPEN See you there! FOR THE
Board trustees discuss the implications of Bill 36 at the last school board meeting on May 8. From left: Trustees Dave Reid, Ken Harshenin, Vicki Gee and Superintendent of Schools Michael Strukoff.
Gazette Reporter
School District 51 (SD51) discussed the recent passing of Bill 36 (School Amendment Act) at a school board meeting on May 8. Bill 36 was passed on April 26 and includes several interesting points, such as students in Kindergarten to Grade 9 having the ability to take a mix of online and traditional school courses. “When you look at the five pillars of the BC Education Plan, (Bill 36) talks about flexibility and personalized learning,” stated Superintendent of Schools Michael Strukoff. “We’re not sure how to take this right now because in the past, students could do distributed learning but it was all or nothing.” The five pillars include personal learning for every student, quality learning, flexibility and choice, high standards and learning empowerment through technology. Strukoff noted that it’s still unclear how online courses would work for students in Kindergarten to Grade 9 as of yet. “Inside our schools it is something we can certainly do,” he said. “We heard Jennifer Turner talk about the courses that have been offered to secondary schools so now this may be a possibility.” Turner, co-ordinator for the online learning program and vice-principal for Big White and Walker Development, previously spoke to the school board about online education with courses accessed through Moodle for secondary school students. Another change in Bill 36 includes the legislation around school calendars. “They are now changing the flexibility of school districts now to determine their own calendars and it’s quite a consultative procedure that needs to occur and it can’t happen out of the blue,” said Strukoff. “It does allow for different kinds of things, such as moving spring break to a different time, or seriously looking at a balanced

calendar.” Norm Sabourin, president of Boundary District Teachers’ Association, said he is concerned about the hours of education. “I’m worried about the regular schedule being changed to either be extended to there will be longer school hours in total,” he stated. “Not necessarily here, but at school districts that are bulging at the seams.” The issue of a balanced or changed school calendar will be discussed at the District Design meeting held in Grand Forks on Wednesday, May 23 at 6:30 p.m. at Perley Elementary School. There are also changes to the fees for direct cost of International Baccalaureate program. The International Baccalaureate program offers school courses to international students around the world. “Many of the larger secondary schools have been offering the International Baccalaureate program and there are costs absorbed with it,” explained Strukoff. “The way the School Act was written is there were costs that had to be absorbed by the district. This will allow for school districts to charge for this course but there are some limitations.” This change in Bill 36 does not affect SD51 since it is not offered at either Boundary Central or Grand Forks Secondary Schools. “If it cost you to do English 12 X amount of money to deliver that course, International Baccalaureate is most likely more money because you have the teacher and the licensing, so it would be the difference that you’re charging for,” Strukoff added. “It’s not a long bill, but it does have interesting implications.” Job cuts In other SD51-related news, there will be four and a half job teacher job cuts within SD51. Secretary treasurer Jeanette Hanlon noted that this does not necessarily mean full positions are cut. “Four and a half job cuts can mean reduced hours for teachers,” she said.

Safe Kids Week 2012 May 28 - June 3 Poison prevention - Every day, every way
Poisoning is the fourth leading cause of injury deaths and permanent total disability. It is estimated that half of all poison exposures occur among children less than five years old. Canadian children are at risk, and most poisonings occur in the home. Fortunately, most poisonings are preventable with a few simple measures. The theme of this year’s Safe Kids Week is Out of Sight and Locked Up Tight.

❚ WATER LEVELS
High streamflow advisory maintained KARL YU Gazette Editor
Warm temperatures led to another high streamflow advisory for small and mediumsized rivers in the B.C. Southern Interior region last week. The BC River Forecast Centre issued the advisory on May 10 for rivers in the West and East Kootenay, Columbia, Boundary, Okanagan, Similkameen and South Thompson tributaries, the Kettle and Granby rivers included. The centre maintained the advisory as of May 15. On Friday, Grand Forks Fire Rescue chief Dale Heriot said there wasn’t immediate threat of flood, even though the river level had risen and said that he would be watching river levels over the weekend. There wasn’t a lot of new news on Monday but with the mercury hitting 29 C, Heriot estimated that the higher water levels would occur today (May 16) or tomorrow. “I’m not sure how much the rivers are going to come up. All my graphs aren’t showing me anything that would cause concern yet but I am
watching them,” he said. Heriot said that the rivers still had a lot of room but hesitated to guarantee that there would be no flood concerns. “I can’t really guarantee that it will be safe but I’m not so sure we’ll even get to the high water we had three week’s ago,” said Heriot. “It’s one of those things, you can never tell. You go by the graphs and you’re not in the hills to see how much snow’s up there but (as of Monday) we’ve got a lot of room in the river.” Heriot also said that the cooler night temperatures were helping as well. “I got up (Monday) morning and it was 8 C at my place and of course, once the sun comes up, it warms up pretty quick but being 8 C would put it close to freezing up on the mountains, so that means all night long, the melt will slow right down and what that does is it gives a little bit of relief on the river,” Grand Forks’ fire chief said. “It gives you that relief instead of all coming at once.” According to www.weathernetwork.ca, as of Tuesday afternoon, temperatures were expected to hit 23 C today and only 18 C tomorrow.

CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
To celebrate winning the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Competition “Best Municipal Water in the World” award, the City of Greenwood has bottled its treasured water. “We are all very proud and I can see the smiles on all your faces,” said Greenwood Mayor Nipper Kettle. “A big thank you to Coun. Barry Noll and the rest of the council for designing the label for the water.” Kettle noted that the initiative began with former Coun. Chris Stevenson who spearheaded the project and sent the first sample in 2010. The water was bottled at Miller Springs and can be found at various stores in Greenwood. Jill Klein Rone, representative for Berkeley Springs International, presented a hand-crafted glass award to Kettle and the City of Greenwood. “Berkeley held its first water tasting with 23 waters (in 1991),” she explained. “In 21 years, we have become the grand daddy of water entries – municipal, bottled, non-carbonated, purified drinking water, sparkling water and people’s choice design award.” Klein Rone went on to say it shows that Greenwood is at the top of the world for having great water first in 2010, and again this year.

“Water, is truly, our most precious natural resource,” she concluded. “I just want to congratulate everyone that was involved with this project,” Boundary-Similkameen MLA John Slater said. “It’s all about partnerships. How often does a small community get named the world’s best?” Slater pointed out that the water will be great for tourism and good for business. “Maybe there’s potential for Greenwood Gold Ale?” he added. B.C. Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko also congratulated the City of Greenwood on behalf of the Parliament of Canada. Though PM Stephen Harper was unable to attend the ceremony as well, he did send a letter. “I am pleased to extend the warmest greetings to everybody celebrating Greenwood’s Best in the World Gold victory for Berkley’s International Water Tasting,” read the letter. “Over 100 years ago, gold found in the rivers and streams of Greenwood was the source of the city’s booming population. It is most fitting that the city’s water is, once again, a source of gold for Greenwood. “On behalf of the government of Canada, I offer my sincerest congratulations for receiving this award and best wishes for every success in the future. Stephen Harper.” Greenwood won the 2012 Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Competition in February.

Nicole Kidman did it, so did Kelly Ripa, Demi Moore, Cindy Crawford and Ricki Lake. Doulas are the latest Hollywood “pregnancy essential” and moms all over the Kootenays are following their lead, getting a head start on the stork without breaking the bank. Since May is International Doula Month, and with Mother’s Day this past Sunday, we thought this would be the perfect time to highlight this growing profession. Doulas aren’t just for the rich and famous. These days, most women can get the support Kidman and Ripa received without going into debt. In fact, doula services are quite affordable. A doula is a professional labour partner or coach. Doulas are experienced and educated

breastfeeding, education on newborn care, errand running, night-time support and assistance with anything else a new family needs invaluable. DONA International is the oldest and largest organization of doulas in the world, with more than 7,000 members in more than 20 countries. DONA doulas offer a variety of services that allow women to receive the care they deserve from a doula at such a special time in their lives, if they wish to have it. This is certainly important in Grand Forks, where moms have to travel to other communities to have their babies. The continuous care moms receive from a doula is especially comforting when they must travel during labor and they may not know who their caregiver will be. Doulas want your birth to be the best it can be. Go www.dona.org or www.kootenaydoulagroup.org for more.

in childbirth and breastfeeding. Studies have shown that a doula’s presence at birth results in shorter labours with less complications, fewer requests for pain medications and/or epidurals and a reduction in labor enhancing drugs, forceps, vacuum extraction and cesareans. Women also report a greater feeling of satisfaction with their birth and a better bonding experience. Birth doulas accompany women and their partners in labor, providing emotional and physical comfort. They help dads participate at a level in which they feel comfortable. Doulas also facilitate communication with caregivers, to help clients feel fully informed, provide reassurance, perspective and help with relaxation, positioning and many other labor support techniques. Postpartum doulas help new mothers in the early weeks with their new baby. Parents find the additional help with

“Depending on the type of spring we have in terms of natural foods developing, every year has the potential to be a bad bear year,” said Webster. “If the natural food sources fail then you have a very full population that will be active and looking for food.” Attractants should be kept down to a minimum, especially during spring and fall. This includes not leaving food out in the yard or back porches, such as pet food or garbage, Webster pointed out. On May 10, it was reported that three grizzly bears had to be put down after consuming eight sheep on a ranch in Edgewood, B.C, north of Castlegar. A fourth was relocated after chasing an ostrich, which died. This bear was trapped and taken to the Granby Wilderness area near Grand Forks. “When you manage livestock you need to be aware of predators and things that are out there,” Webster said. “There are ways to defend your livestock against predators, whether it’s through electric fencing or proper barns and housing practices, such as bringing in animals at night.” He added that general sightings are quite common, especially if one is in the backcountry, hiking. “We don’t need to know about those sightings but if there’s any type of altercation or confrontation with a bear, we want to hear about that,” Webster said. “In an urban setting, with the potential of bears getting into garbage or residing close to people, we want to know about those.” The Bear Aware program is still running out of Christina Lake. Webster pointed out that if anybody has any problem with wildlife or anything that is potentially a violation, contact the provincial call R.A.P.P. number at 1-888-952-7277.
CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
Residents should be alert and not leave out food as hibernating bears awaken and start to forage, while deer begin the process of reproducing. Grand Forks Conservation Officer Dave Webster stated there is a high population of white tail deer within the community of Grand Forks. “The ministry’s position with this is that the deer are not to be (hand) fed, because it does promote them to gather in unnatural numbers and in close proximity to people,” he said. “We strongly recommend for people not to leave out food for any wildlife. Not only can it attract deer, it has the potential to attract larger, potentially predatory animals. That’s the concern.” Mayor Brian Taylor added that people should be careful about getting between babies and mothers. “The birthing is starting to happen across the city and it is one of the most volatile times for conflicts with humans,” he said. Taylor will be attending the BC’s Mayors’ Caucus from May 16 to 18 and hopes to get more information from Cranbrook and Kimberly about how well the deer harvests (culling) went for them last year. “The most startlingly thing is the cost went up to $500 a deer and that’s too much for our community to manage so we need to find something that won’t put the taxpayers in that type of position,” he added. “It’s an exorbitant amount to control our deer problem.” The previous estimated cost was $300 per deer. Webster stated that along with the numbers of deer, there is also a high population of bears in the area.

U.S. version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo good adaptation ❚ Martin’s Movie Pick
Hello again movie lovers, my review this time is the movie LIZ The Girl MARTIN with the Dragon Tattoo and it is the American version of a Swedish film, which is actually the beginning of a trilogy called the Millennium series. I have seen the original movie, which has subtitles, but this one is easier to follow as the actors all speak English. I was pleased that Daniel Craig, the protagonist, who is English, did not attempt a Swedish accent, and I was grateful for that. His part is very important, so it was nice to hear every word clearly. The movie was nominated for five Academy Awards and is based on the novel by Stieg Larsson. The cast is impressive, with Daniel Craig, Christopher Plummer and an actress not known to me, Rooney Mara. Robin Wright also has an important part and she is always very convincing. One word of caution, there are a few scenes, which are important to the movie but a bit violent, so hold on – the rest of the movie is very good. It is the story of a reporter Mikael Blomkvist (Craig) who has been sued for libel and decides

to evade the limelight in Stockholm by taking on another project. It involves helping an old man (Plummer) look for his grandniece, who went missing 40 years prior and is presumed dead. There is much dialogue in this film and one has to follow it quite closely, a lot is happening. The young lady (Mara) is commissioned to assist him, as she is a very good investigator, although troubled, but a great help to our protagonist. Her past life is not a pretty one and there is more revealed about her history in the next few films of the trilogy. This time however, the story revolves around their search for the missing woman, leading them overseas to England and part of Sweden. It has a nice European flair, i.e. scenes of Stockholm, and it is a little different indeed. The acting is very good and the story an interesting one. I enjoyed this version better but the original one is good too. The film was made in 2011 and one of the producers is Scott Rudin, a well-known name in the movie industry. I hope you pick this one up and enjoy the mystery – the ending as it is, is quite unusual. If you enjoy this one, pick up the subsequent stories that deal more about the young lady Lisbeth Salander. – Liz Martin is a film critic for the Grand Forks Gazette, movie lover, cello player and happy retiree

Baby’s Best Chance extends contest deadline
Submitted
Peer mentors from the Baby’s Best Chance program applied for a grant through YShift, a youth subcommittee of the Phoenix Foundation.
This grant made it possible to put on a youth essay-writing contest about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, known as FASD, with the intention of better educating the public and other youth on this disorder. Unfortunately, the
deadline for submissions came and went with only a few submissions. On top of that, all essays were from the same age group. Additionally, the deadline for the two age groups that received no submissions has been ex-
tended until Thursday, May 31. So, for any youth between the ages of 13 to 15 years and 21 to 29 years, you have until May 31 to submit a 400-word essay to cynthia.garnett@ bfiss.org and possibly win yourself $100.
Sunshine Awards are presented to: Buy-Low Staff for ďŹ nding my lost necklace. – Loretta Hepburn Rilkoff’s General Store et al for their Mother’s Day treats. – Elaine Deep gratitude to Leslie & Connie and all the wonderful people who helped me when I had my fall last Tuesday – words are not enough to express my thanks. Also, my appreciation to my wonderful neighour Marilyn, who has taken such good care of me after my fall. Many thanks to the nurses and home support staff who have been so loving & supportive. You are angels. – Deirdre McKeown

Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising. On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*
What does this mean for you? 54 or older as of March 31, 2012
You may still obtain OAS/GIS at age 65
53 or younger as of March 31, 2012
The age of eligibility for OAS/GIS will change gradually between 2023 and 2029
Starting in July 2013, Canadians who are eligible for, but not yet receiving OAS will have the flexibility to delay receiving it in exchange for a higher monthly amount at a later date.
The number of working-age Canadians for every senior is decreasing** 6 5
The number of working-age Canadians per senior is decreasing, placing additional pressure on the OAS program.

Saddling up on 2nd Street CASSANDRA CHIN Gazette Reporter
Garry’s Saddle Shop on 2nd Street opened in January and has been slowly increasing its clientele. New resident to Grand Forks, Garry Van has always loved working with leather. “(Business) started slow but it’s getting better and better. It’s pretty good,” he said. “I like doing these things and enjoy the work and meeting people.” Van took his first saddle apart when he was 16 years old, when his fascination and love of leather began. After taking a break to start a family, Van has returned to his love of leather and decided to open Garry’s Saddle Shop. From start to finish, it takes Van 80 hours to complete a saddle, which uses the hide of an entire cow. Built entirely from scratch in the store, each saddle it meticulously detailed and carefully created. Along with saddles, Van repairs tacts, belts and cases, though he prefers making saddles. “It depends on the sales so I have to do what I have

Graeme Carlson, local business owner and pharmacist, and his daughter Whitney participated in the BMO Vancouver Marathon on May 6. Graeme completed the full marathon (42.2km or 26 miles) in four hours, 23 minutes and four seconds (chip time) and finished 180th out of 300 participants in the 50 to 54 age category. Whitney completed the half marathon (21.1 km or 13 miles) in three hours, four minutes and 19 seconds (chip time) and finished 61 out of 67 participants in the 19 and under category. The BMO Vancouver Marathon is one of Canada’s largest marathons and has attracted athletes from around the world since 1972. Completing the BMO Vancouver Marathon is a significant accomplishment considering Graeme is extremely busy with work and Whitney, who graduated from Grand Forks Secondary School last June, is a full-time student at Emily Carr University. Congratulations Graeme and Whitney!

Contrary to popular belief, Christina Lake Triathlon still a go for late-June LILLY BRYANT Grand Forks Recreation
The eighth annual Pharmasave Christina Lake Sprint Triathlon is still on and the Christina Lake Recreation Commission is looking for volunteers to join our event crew and assist with traffic control, registration and other small jobs on Sunday, June 24. Please contact us at 250-442-2202 or email gfplay@rdkb.com. If you can spare a few hours to help out with this great community event, it would be greatly appreciated. Triathlon is a sport growing in popularity around the world. Race participation has increased by more than 300 per cent in the last five years. The sport has also experienced significant growth in Canada since the birth of Triathlon Canada 25 years ago. In fact, it is now one of the nation’s most rapidly growing sports. The Pharmasave Christina Lake triathlon is a great first-timer’s event. The swim is a 750-metre course parallel to the public beach so it eliminates the fear of swimming out into the deep, open water. We have volunteer kayakers out in the water patrolling the swimmers as they make their way
around the course. The bike route is controlled by professional flag people and volunteers, who provide safety out on the roads and streets. The run route is out and back on West Lake Drive; we direct the runners to run on the same side out, providing safety for all athletes. BC Ambulance service is on sight to provide first aid if needed. Our goal is to offer a positive and fun experience for the athletes so they will return to Christina Lake for future events. The earlybird registration deadline is Thursday, May 31 but you can still register up until Wednesday, June 20. Kids and adults have a chance to experience a mini triathlon at the aquatic centre on Wednesday, June 13. We are changing the format slightly, starting with the run and ending with the swim in the pool. This is a great time to get the feel of how the transitions work and how it feels to do all three disciplines together. To register as a volunteer or to register for the triathlons, please give us a call at 250-442-2202 or email us at gfplay@rdkb.com. You can also visit our website at www.rdkb. com to view the May flyer.

OBITUARIES
Notice of Passing ~ In Memoriam
The Lord is my Shepherd... The most popular Psalm the past hundred years or so is Psalm 23, beginning RAY LAFLEUR “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” (King James version). It’s hard to get through a funeral scene in a TV show or movie without at least some of Psalm 23 being recited. It was famously featured in the 1997 James Cameron version of the Titanic disaster. Psalm 23 has inspired religious music from JS Bach to Gospel singer Keith Green just before his death in 1982. For reasons beyond comprehension, Psalm 23 also has figured for good or ill in works by Pink Floyd and various ill-fated rappers killed in unsolved drive-by shootings. My own favourite musical setting is Jessie Seymour Irvine’s, published in 1872 when The Northern Psalter combined her tune with the beautiful rhyming verses from an earlier psalter, a perfect match. Why the popularity of Psalm 23? It’s beautiful. It’s uplifting. And it’s short, though not short enough for a 140-character text message (try it). It also links the Old Testament to the New. Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd is one who lays down his life for his sheep.” The image of the shepherd leading and protecting from the front has resonated for centuries. Australian pastor Vince Gerhardy says it is no surprise that the psalmist used the image of a shepherd to convey the idea of God’s intense love and perpetual concern for us. Gerhardy also says that this picture from 10th century BC, Palestine is remote from the impersonal management practiced in modern largescale sheep tending. And Langley B.C. professor and artist Betty Spackman (A Profound Weakness: Christians and Kitsch) thinks the shepherd image is losing relevancy in an increasingly ur-

banized world. People not already familiar with Biblical imagery and context may not get much out of the story, instead, they could regard Christianity as old hat and overly sentimental. Realizing irrelevancy may be creeping or even rushing in to marginalize Christian churches, writers have made new framings of the shepherd message, particularly for Psalm 23. This is not just a matter of modernizing language, such as Eugene Peterson’s The Message, where the King James’ “valley of the shadow of death” becomes “Death Valley” (Good News Bible “the deepest darkness,” Jerusalem Bible “a gloomy valley,” both of which reach beyond the threat of death to the relief of other troubles). James Taylor’s Everyday Psalms, has three versions of Psalm 23, describing God in terms such as God keeping “a cool café,” and “God is like my Mommy” in drying my tears. Taylor also has “I have found goodness in people” – a nice sentiment not contained in the original, which focused on the protection God provides against one’s enemies, which could include people and/or natural enemies, such as disease. A version of Psalm 23 by another author changes, “You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies” to God setting a table which my enemies can join – nice, but different from the original. Bobby McFerrin usually keeps close to traditional language but adds [She] “fills my heart with songs.” Certainly these versions lead to interesting discussions. At three local congregations April 29, Taylor’s Psalm 23 subtitled “Looking back on a full life” was well received. So was his Psalm 23 “Mommy hold my hand” – a child’s perspective in contrast to the over-60 perspective of the “looking back” version. Look some of this up and come to your own conclusions. –Ray Lafleur is a member of the Worship Committee of the United Church congregations of the Boundary Pastoral Charge.

Notice of Passing PETER A. DUTOFF June 15, 1913 to May 3, 2012 Surrounded by love with his family at his side, Peter passed into his new life to reunite with his wife Pauline in Heaven. Peter was born at Glade, B.C., and at a very early age his family moved up to the North Fork Valley (Bozhia Daleena). He had very pleasant memories of growing up there including: sleigh riding in the area that is now Pines Bible Camp, swimming in the Granby River and skating on it in the winter. He really wanted to skate but they had no skates in the family, so with the help of his grandfather they built his first and only pair of skates. They took some wood and carved a form to fit the bottom of his boots, and shaped it into a curved blade shape. They then cut a groove in the bottom of the blade part and put in heavy wire. The wire being round did not give him any traction on the ice. He spent more time on his bottom than skating, but he had a great time!!! He spoke of how he used to go hazelnut picking in the fall, on the other side of the river with his mother. They would pick sacks full and float them back across. From an early age he learned to work hard, and appreciate nature, and to be grateful for whatever you had. They lived in several different areas of the valley until they finally settled in Gilpin. Peter worked many different jobs in his lifetime, from farm work at Cascade and the west Boundary, to orchard work in the Okanagan area. To get to work in the Okanagan, Peter and his friends would jump into a boxcar on a slow-moving train and ride to McCullough. They would then walk down the mountain, or if they were very lucky, someone would give them a ride. Living away from home for much of the year, he learned to be very self-sufficient. He learned to make borscht and pyrahii, and many other foods. He also learned to sew and mend. Peter and his work buddies would trade haircuts, so he learned to be a barber, also. When Peter was 29, he met the love of his life, Pauline. Peter and Pauline were married on April 30, 1944. A year later, they were blessed with the birth of their first daughter Molly. After Molly was born, they worked for a time in the West Boundary where Peter worked at the sawmill and Pauline cooked for the work crew. They also spent a lot of time working in the orchards of the Okanagan. Their second daughter Luba soon joined the family, and three years later, Olga was welcomed. Peter worked many other jobs until he was able to get employment with Parta Industries. He started during the construction, and permanently left his mark when he accidently dropped his hammer into the forms while the cement was being poured. When the forms were removed, the hammer was spotted in the newly formed wall, and it remained there throughout the days of Parta, and later on, Canpar. The rest of his working years were spent there until his retirement. He was a very dedicated employee and Parta proved to be a second home for him. Peter loved everything related to the outdoors. He loved to garden and he loved to keep bees; they were like his other children. He had many fruit trees and he was a master pruner. He had an amazing ability to transform scrubby trees into beautiful well-producing trees. He shared his knowledge with anyone willing to learn. Peter and Pauline loved to garden and cook together; they worked great as a team. They really enjoyed their time spent with the grandchildren and loved them all dearly. They loved to travel, and their most memorable trip was to Victoria for a friend’s niece’s wedding. They had fun trying to navigate their way through different places to visit friends and family. Peter and Pauline shared their life together for almost 50 years. When Pauline passed away, Peter was very lonely without her. He had his coffee buddies and enjoyed going to Robin’s Donuts and the Borscht Bowl. Later after he stopped driving, he would go with his good friend, Jim or ride the transit bus to the coffee shop. They had lifelong friends, Nick and Polly, and when each of their spouses passed away, Peter and Polly supported each other and continued with their friendship. Four years ago Peter moved into Boundary Lodge, when it became too difficult to be on his own at home, even with the excellent care of his home support workers and family. At Boundary Lodge, Peter still enjoyed maintaining a small garden and keeping busy wherever he could with the help of his family. As his health continued to decline, he was moved to Hardy View Lodge where he spent his last year. Peter knew the importance of keeping busy and always having something useful to do, right up until his final year. Peter was predeceased by his father, Alexander In 1968; his mother, Polly in 1980; his loving wife, Pauline in 1994; his sister-in law, Jacquie Dutove in 2005; his nephew, Sam Dutoff in 2009; and Sam’s wife, Sophie in 1991. Peter will be missed very much by his daughters: Molly Nazar, Luba (Doug) White and Olga (Halvor) Carlson; his grandchildren: Raymond (Karen), Tamara (Jim), Sherry, Chris, Rhea (Renn) and Alyssa; three great-grandchildren: Ryan, Tasha and Brendan; his sister, Vera; his brothers, Nick and Fred (Tina); nephews: Alec (Doris), Michael (Lou), Fred (Pearl) and Harvey (Judy); and a niece, Katie (Peter); and many loved ones and good friends. Funeral services were held on Monday, May 7, 2012, with interment at Evergreen Cemetery. Grand Forks Funeral Home had care of arrangements.
