City filespetition to remove councillor
The City of Grand Forks has offi cially fi led a petition with the Supreme Court of B.C. to have Councillor Julia Butler removed from offi ce.
The city fi led the petition on June 16 to have Butler disqualifi ed from offi ce under section 111(1)(B) of the Community Charter.
The claim of the petition states (under Part 1 – Orders Sought) that the city asks that the court declare that: 1. The respondent (Butler) has a direct or indirect pecuniary (of or pertaining to money) interest in the petitioner’s (City of Grand Forks’) water regulations bylaw No. 2014, 2015.
2. By attending the April 20 council meeting and participating in the discussion of and vot-
Crown council in Nelson has rejected charges laid forward by the SPCA of ani-mal cruelty to a local Almond Gardens Road East rancher.
The charges were recommended after a raid on the ranch on December 2013 in which SPCA offi cers executed a search warrant. As a result of the raid, 10 horses were removed and two were destroyed.
SPCA investigators concluded their in-vestigation in March of 2014 and submit-ted charges to Crown under the Preven-tion of Cruelty to Animals Act.
“We had recommended charges back in March and they were not approved by Crown so we have not had additional sei-zures or warrants executed on the proper-
ty,” said Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement offi cer of the B.C. SPCA. “They go through their test of likelihood for a successful prosecution and whether it is in the best interest of the public. So when they weighed both of those they felt, un-fortunately, that there wasn’t enough evi-dence for charge approval.”
Moriarty said the SPCA respects the Crown’s decision and can’t appeal the de-cision.
She added that if the SPCA receives any calls of concern and the animals are found to be in distress, the animal owner would be given an opportunity to relieve that dis-tress. “If they fail to do that there are op-portunities to seek a warrant or if they’ve complied the fi le is closed,” she said.
Moriarty would not confi rm if there had been any recent searches on the ranch.
City water utility customers can indeed submit feedback on more than what was identifi ed in a consulting fi rm’s re-port.
A City of Grand Forks ad in last week’s Gazette said feedback would be accepted on the report compiled by con-sulting fi rm Urban Systems regarding water meter project options; however, the motion made at the June 15 Commit-tee of the Whole (COTW) meeting of city council actually said feedback would be invited “regarding collection of more options.”
Specifi cally, the motion reads: “Resolved that the COTW receive and refer back to staff and public, who are city wa-ter utility customers, for written input of no more than 500 words per letter, with one submission per person, regard-ing collection of more options; and, further, bring forward to the July 20 meeting and to be received by no later than June 25 at 4 p.m. and clearly titled ‘Water Meter Input’ to [email protected] or hand delivered to the front desk of City Hall.”
The city released this statement: “The City of Grand Forks apologizes for any confusion the previous ad may have caused. We are looking forward to receiving your feedback regarding more options for water meters.”
Rancher won’t becharged with cruelty

Grand Forks City Coun-cil voted in favor of lift-ing a moratorium on large subdivisions. City admin-istrator Phil Taylor said the moratorium should be lifted since a development cost charge had been ad-opted, and the new sew-age treatment plant should be in place to prevent any possible environmental problems cropping up as a result of the lifting of the moratorium. The city ap-plied the moratorium in September 1994 because the city’s infrastructure was at risk of becoming overloaded.2000

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) is considering removing its downtown Grand Forks re-cycling location. The bins need to be moved from the fire hall rear parking lot to accommodate a new, larger fire truck.
Councillor Neil Krog gave the information as part of his report on the RDKB board, on which he sits as rep-resentative for the City of Grand Forks, at the regular council meeting on June 15.
If the bins are removed, residents would then have to use curbside recycling or take their recycling to bins already located at the landfill. Krog said that he is fight-ing to keep the depot downtown at a different location.
“If we need to relocate it to allow for emergency vehi-cle access, is there a place downtown we can relocate to, because it is well used,” said Krog. “When you look at the RDKB’s policies regarding unmanned sites it makes sense that if we are going to take it out they would rather just consolidate everything up at the landfill rather than relocate and pay all the extra costs associated.”
Krog said the cost to move the bins to an alternate site would be around $10-20,000 for infrastructure (concrete bin pads, fencing). There would also be an expected an-nual cost of an estimated $9,600 for maintaining the un-manned site. “I would like to see it (stay) downtown but the way things are going it’s probably not going to exist in the downtown core,” he said.
A staff report from Alan Stanley, general manager of environmental services for the RDKB, stated that the depot does not qualify for Multi Material B.C. (MMBC) subsidies and is operated at the sole expense of the RDKB.
Stanley further stated that due to ongoing and pre-viously document problems with unstaffed waste man-agement sites, the RDKB board adopted a Solid Waste Management Facilities Siting Policy, whose objectives included directing the majority of solid waste facilities customers to staff facilities. Since the policy was adopt-ed, six unstaffed facilities have been closed.
“Considering the close proximity to a staffed facility and the duplication of service, the recycling depot at the Grand Forks Landfill easily meets policy requirements and provides adequate depot service to the Grand Forks area,” said Stanley in the report.
The report recommends that the downtown recycling depot be shifted to the depot at the landfill and that the downtown depot be permanently closed.
Staff from the RDKB will be entering into discussions with staff from the city and will report back to the re-gional district’s environmental services committee. John MacLean, RDKB chief administrative officer, expects that the matter will come before the RDKB board of di-rectors sometime in the fall.
A special event in Midway last Thursday brought together students from all Boundary schools for the of-ficial opening of the Gateway Learn-ing Circle.
First Nations artist David Seven Deers’ project was several years in the making, and finally realized dur-ing a moving ceremony conducted by numerous dignitaries and the art-ist himself.
Designed to be a learning desti-nation for Boundary students, the installation, set in Entwined Trees Park, is comprised of a massive stone gateway and a highly polished black raven sculpture, encircled by 20 blocks of stone, each featuring a chiselled animal motif.
School District 51’s director of learning Doug Lacey, one of the primary architects of the Gateway, spoke of Seven Deers dedication to the project, which was produced very economically, money wise, but required hundreds of hours on the artists part to complete.
Lacey said, “David Seven Deers was introduced to me well over a year ago as an aboriginal author and sto-ryteller. He had been speaking to pri-mary classes across the Boundary for several years. This was always done outside, in a circle, around a fire.
“He was soon speaking to me about a vision he had for the chil-dren of the Boundary, and this vision is before you today. It represents a gateway to the world, to learning, to community, to understanding each
other, with ‘mother raven’ presiding at the head of the circle.
“Over many, many conversations with David this past very busy year, I have truly come to understand the depth of his mantra, ‘everything happens for a reason.’ When our district aboriginal education teach-ers Wanda Hecht and Marilyn Han-son were visiting with David and his family at their mountain property between Greenwood and Midway, their exclamations about one of his small sculptures led to his vision for the Gateway. ‘Everything happens for a reason.’
Lacey continued, “When the Village of Midway Mayor Randy Kappes invited David and I to come out here to see this beautiful park as a potential home for heelah (raven), I looked around and could see Bound-ary Central Secondary, Midway Ele-mentary, the beautiful hills above us,
the entwined trees, the original Mid-way one-room school right there.
“The winter before David and I met, I had participated in a talking circle with many community aborigi-nal elders and heard their wish for a physical gathering place like a friend-ship centre or an identifiable meeting place and for me this Gateway has become a symbolic first step.”
Kappes said the village was ex-tremely honoured to have such an impressive artwork installed in its midst, and that residents would de-rive much pleasure from it in the years to come.
Seven Deers himself spoke in length about his personal journey both as an aboriginal and an artist, and his hopes for the future in re-lationships amongst all Canadians. His installation undoubtedly repre-sents one huge step in the right di-rection.

With the fire department’s new fire truck expected to arrive soon, the days of the downtown recycle depot are numbered.
While this would seem to be a hardship for many in Grand Forks, it is only four minutes to the landfill, which accepts recy-cling as well as waste items such as tires, scrap metal and clean wood waste. Admittedly, the landfill is only open on certain days at certain times (Tuesday to Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Many local residents including Councillor Neil Krog, who sits on the RDKB board of directors as well as the RDKB’s envi-ronment services committee, would like to see the recycle depot move to another downtown location. Although the matter has yet to be decided by the board, it would appear unlikely that the RDKB will support moving the downtown recycle depot.
Would the City of Grand Forks fork over all the money to move the recycling depot to a different downtown location and operate it as a city service? Seems unlikely given the huge ex-pense and given that it is traditionally an RDKB service.
In recent years, the board has closed unmanned recycling de-pots in six Kootenay Boundary locations.
With all residential users in Grand Forks having curbside recycling collection, it makes sense to save money and not relo-cate the downtown depot. For commercial users, the quick trip to the landfill depot is easy enough and offers the same down-town depot services as well as additional services.
One of the major complaints is that some residents will just not bother making the trek up Granby Road and dump their recycling in the woods or in the river.
Anyone who has that little regard for the environment prob-ably doesn’t need much excuse to litter anyway.
Closing depot makes sense

HOW TO REACH US
Why do we love our cats so much?
Why does a cat enjoy hours outside and then come in to use its litter box?
Why, when you let a cat out on a two-door balcony, does the cat scratch to come in at the door that DOESN’T have a special cat door?
A better question yet: why, af-ter you clean your house because the realtor is bringing someone over, and you return a few hours later to see a gory, feathered mess at the door—somehow you just know that was what the realtor and company saw first?!
Okay, so now you know some of what’s happening at my house thanks to Frankie, Hycoo and Lucy. And most cat owners will have asked themselves these very same questions. And most
cat owners shake their heads and will open the door, clean the lit-ter box, and pick up the remains of the grouse, bird, rodent, what-ever was lunch that day.
Because we love our cats.We’ve had dogs over the
years, and they’re wonderful too, in different ways. But if I feel the need for some canine companionship, I can go to the neighbour’s. They’ve got plenty.
Cats are in every nook and corner of our society, libraries being one of the most notable places. There are some libraries in Canada that have cats, but the most celebrated library feline in North America was Dewey Re-admore Books of Spencer, Iowa. I found many others.
Researching library cats took me to an interesting website: ironfrog.com. The site belongs to filmmaker and comedian Gary Roma of Iron Frog Productions in Williamsburg, Mass.
The website actually has a map of where to find library
cats. The Timberland Regional Library in Amanda Park, Wash. has four cats: Stella, Grayfur, Thunder, and Cloud. I don’t know if their predecessors were Lightning and Strike, but it’s a good bet.
I watched a TV news program recently that featured a library that went a step further: the lo-cal humane society set up an enclosure near the circulation desk, and patrons could “sign out” a cat, and take a book and their furry friend and find a qui-et corner. Patrons find the cats therapeutic, and report leaving the library feeling much more relaxed.
Sometimes they leave with a kitty who needs a forever home.
Last week I sat for a spell in at a local coffee shop and found a story in the Province (thanks for the paper!) about a study conducted by Gail Myrick, an assistant professor at Indiana University and a researcher into media’s emotional effects.
Myrick recruited 7,000 people for a lengthy online question-naire about when, where and why they watch cat videos.
No matter the personal vari-ables, however, people reported feeling more energetic, happier and less stressed after watch-ing a video of a cat—even when they felt guilty about it because they were supposed to be doing something else.
Many stores have cats, and I have to admit, it’s a bigger draw than a sale.
Offices have cats, too. It’s too bad our doors are constantly opening and some days we have too much traffic to keep a cat around.
In libraries, in offices, on-line—there’s no doubt about it, cats are, well, the cat’s meow.
But I’ll sign off now, it’s time to give my trio their Temptation treats. And I reckon they’ll want outside. And then they’ll want in the door without the cat flap, to come in to use the litter box.

Letters to the editor New actions to stop mussels
Invasive zebra and quagga mussels have never been detected in British Columbia’s waters and, with the addi-tion of our new strengthened mussel early detection and rapid response program announced earlier this year, we are stepping up co-ordinated efforts to keep the province invasive mussel free.
Our strengthened in-vasive mussel defence program currently un-derway includes three mobile decontamination units, six trained auxiliary conservation officers, expand-ed monitoring for zebra and quagga mussels and increas-ing “Clean, Drain, Dry” education and outreach activities.
Through the new program, teams are now on B.C. roads performing boat and boat trailer inspections and, as necessary, decontaminating boats entering B.C. The teams are also responding to boats identified as a concern by the Canadian Border Services Agency, as well as U.S. partner agencies. Mobile units have the flexibility to provide ex-tended coverage near border crossings and throughout the province, especially on popular, high-traffic routes.
When interacting with the public, the teams are edu-cating citizens about the dangers of invasive aquatic spe-cies and how to prevent them from entering the prov-ince’s waterways. Additionally, we have increased other educational and outreach activities and twenty-four new highway signs featuring the “Clean, Drain, Dry” program have been installed at significant entry points into the province.
Allowing us to develop and test this delivery model this summer will help us in creating a sustainable, ex-panded mussel prevention program by building capacity, experience and additional partnerships. We will continue to develop these partnerships to reach our goal of expand-ing the program over the long term.
Stopping the invasion of zebra and quagga mussels re-quires a concerted effort from jurisdictions and agencies near and far. B.C. is already working with partner agen-cies in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Nevada, as well as Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, to ensure information is immediately exchanged when mussel-in-fested boats are detected.
Together with these other jurisdictions, we are coordi-nating training for our frontline staff, and are also coordi-nating the timing and locations of boat wash stations. We also support new federal legislation allowing Canadian Border Services Agency staff to check and detain mussel-infested boats at the southern border.
Local governments are being encouraged to join the defence against zebra and quagga mussels by promot-ing education and awareness of the dangers of these invasive species. We applaud those local organizations already actively participating to keep these invasive spe-cies out of B.C. I strongly urge all recreational boaters to familiarize themselves with the “Clean, Drain, Dry” pro-gram so they can also do their part to keep B.C. invasive mussel free.
Preventing invasive mussel species from entering our province is crucial to protecting our waterways. Our goal is to see B.C. remain free from invasive mussels.

Whitetail on range not at capacity
Referendum should have been held
Butler running in byelection a solution
Editor, The Gazette:Deer Committee members Norm
Walker and Barry Brandow do not support a whitetail deer cull.
The deer cull will obviously give British Columbians the impression that the whitetail deer on their his-toric range is at carrying capacity when the exact opposite is the case.
The hunter testimonials plus two 1987 reports by biologists Al Peatt and Bob Lincoln which you can find on wildlifeheritageforever.com showcase the collapse of integrity in the management of the Bound-ary deer herd.
The one quote of many that gives perspective to the argument is found in biologist Bob Lincoln’s report titled Deer Harvest Man-
agement in the Okanagan: Past Results and Future Directions, ”In the Okanagan where roads are abundant suggesting a potential for localized over harvest and where the wildlife management staffing capacity does not allow for careful monitoring of local deer herd status it is prudent to be fairly conserva-tive in harvest strategy”.
In 1987 the whitetail buck rifle season was 67 days and the whitetail doe season consisted of a conservative number of limited entry hunting permits.
With 10 times the access and great numbers of quad bike hunt-ers, the whitetail buck rifle season was extended during the rut when they are most vulnerable to 82
days and the three-week whitetail doe rifle season has decimated the population.
In spite of all the credible anec-dotal information, three provincial biologists who have attended deer committee meetings have been steadfast that the whitetail deer have not been ruthlessly exploited.
Are the three biologists incompe-tent or are they taking counsel from their fear because their terms of employment will not tolerate criti-cism of their employer? Either way our province is farther away than ever of having honest, intelligent conversations about the manage-ment of our natural resources!
Barry Brandow,Grand Forks
Editor, The Gazette:When $1.3 million of taxpay-
ers’ money is spent on water meter installation, it should have gone to referendum. The taxpayer wasn’t asked for their input, we were told that it was mandatory to get a water meter. We were not given a choice!
Having spoken to the city opera-tions manager (Roger Huston at the time) two times about the water meters, I did not get any satisfacto-
ry answers to my questions, if certi-fied plumbers and carpenters were being used? I was informed by the operations manager that they were water meter installers!
The other assurance I asked for, in writing, from the government and the City of Grand Forks that my husband’s medical conditions would not deteriorate further from the radiation the meters put out. I never got an answer from the operations manager.
In closing we would like to make it known that we are strictly against the water meters and the way it was handled!
Having five generations living in this town, I have seen a steady de-cline of services and an increase of taxation for utilities being beyond affordable for the senior citizens of this town.
Elaine Lea, Grand Forks
Editor, The Gazette: I’ve been following the chal-
lenges of council for some time now and confess that I dislike hearing our community’s difficulties aired on CBC.
Recently, local citizens have been talking about the wisdom of having Councillor Butler resign to be re-elected through a byelection process.
This seems like an elegant solu-tion to a painfully-divisive problem that’s in danger of poisoning council long into the future.
Councillor Butler described her-self in a radio interview this week as representing “the people,” presum-ably those who feel disenfranchised and ill treated and want a louder
voice at City Hall.However, we have five other
equally concerned and able coun-cillors, who also represent “the people” with an equally compelling mandate. They have found working relations on council untenable with Councillor Butler at the table.
An inexpensive, timely byelection process would achieve several ends at once:
• It would give an accurate measure of the support the council-lor can draw on if she continues to champion controversial views.
• It would save the city from an expensive and lengthy legal process that our citizens can ill-afford. This
choice would help Councillor Butler protect the interests of those she represents.
• It would also save Councillor Butler from financial pain if the legal challenge doesn’t favour her, result-ing in job loss at a time when she will bear substantial court costs.
• Even if one or two others saw this byelection as an opportunity to run, it would narrow the field from the 16 candidates that voters had to wade through last time, offering a real opportunity for us all to hear the depth and breadth of Councillor Butler’s beliefs.

Editor, The Gazette:I second the vote of non-
confidence in the five members of city council. I really don’t know what they think they are doing, but it’s not doing Grand Forks any good. They are wrecking this town.
I support Councillor Butler. She is the only real voice of the people, as far as I’m concerned.
We as taxpayers will now have to pay for the Supreme Court legal action that will come up from their attempt to get rid of Councillor Butler. She hasn’t done anything wrong, has even given up her yard business to be 100 per cent in the clear, but for some reason council still is proceeding.
What a tremendous waste.
But then again, they seem to be good at waste, considering the $192,000 they handed over to CAO Doug Allin. Nice tip, eh!
And then there’s something strange and very concerning going on in the background... on the video of the last city council meeting the morning of June 15, on gftv.ca, you can see the former mayor, seated in the back row, signaling, by draw-ing his finger across his neck, to one of the current council members, possibly meaning to “cut off’ one of the public that was addressing the council.
There was also a motion in council that day to get more in-put from residents about how to proceed with water meters. If you saw the ad in the paper
last week that is supposed to come from the motion, it is not the same at all. It was changed. Who was behind this? And why? Shouldn’t council be concerned that their motion wording was taken and altered to mean something else?
What is really happening in this town? Who is really running things? What is wrong with this picture? I think we have a council completely out of control. They don’t have to report to anyone, and this needs to change, someone needs to keep them in line. We can’t just have them doing any-thing they want all the time.
It’s gotten ridiculous.Patrick Lewis,
Grand Forks
Editor, The Gazette:If I were to try to force some-
thing on you, or corner you into something, I am guessing...
You might plead with me. You might feel sad, depressed and powerless. You might reluctantly submit.
You might publicly express your pain. You might join with others to try to get your needs met. You might feel hurt and angry.
Forcing has the high likeli-hood of leading to hurt feelings and straining our relationship. Forcing something now on you could mean we have difficulty working together in the future. It could be a very sad situation. This is clearly an “I win; you lose” situation, and it is actually an “I lose; you lose” situation.
About water meters...Did you know that the water
meter engineering reports say we have a good supply of water? The 2005 Drought Man-agement Plan states, “Water conservation would appear a difficult sell to the residents of Grand Forks considering they
have an abundant supply of high quality water, even during significant drought periods.”
The 2011 Grand Forks Water Demand Management report states, “In Grand Forks, water supply is very good as the source aquifer is highly produc-tive.”
And, did you know that when a calculation of our resi-dential use of water was made, it likely included some of in-dustry’s water? This is evident when comparing our 2010 and 2011 engineering reports.
Also, did you know that our city’s water use has been going down over the years? In 2014, Grand Forks pumped 1.8 mil-lion m³ LESS from its wells than it did in 2006.
We are clearly not in an emergency situation with water in Grand Forks.
But, learning water conser-vation is still wise, because it is the responsible thing to do to be earth friendly and it could save our city money. It could give our city the chance to apply for grants to replace infrastructure
(city pipes, pumps, etc.) There are so many fun and interest-ing ways our city could learn about and work towards water conservation that haven’t been tried yet.
Residential water meters with increasing water prices are not necessary for water conservation. What it takes is a commitment of the heart, of the mind, and taking action.
I am hoping we can work to-wards a win-win-win, a win for those who want water meters in their homes, a win for those who don’t want water meters in their homes, and a win for beautiful Grand Forks!
I urge all residents in Grand Forks to write City Hall by June 25, 4 p.m., and tell them you don’t want any more forcing, that you want a fair and consid-erate outcome for all regard-ing water meters and water conservation.
Title your letter “Water Meter Input” to ensure your wishes are presented to council.
Donna Semenoff,Grand Forks
Editor, The Gazette:I see that Grand Forks City
Council is once again provid-ing a hearty entertainment for us all with their secretive in-camera and general in-fighting over yet more issues which leave most of us aghast!
However, I see something positive for us all in this latest show, and that is that they provide us with a political education which in fact extends beyond considerations of mere civic politics, and that is how to make our selections as a voter in all future elections.
I have always been a pro-ponent of choosing any given candidate not in terms of his/her promises for the rosy future anticipated in the event of a win, but rather of his/her record to date—what has been
the contribution in past hold-ings of office?
In the present instance, I suggest it is important for all future voters to look carefully at current contributions of each and every council member as the business is conducted day by day. I would hope that the silliness exhibited by many of the present council will not go unremembered in the next civic election, just as I would earnestly hope the same for the so-called “senior” governments of the province and the nation.
Wanna-bes will promise you the moon during the election madness, but AFTER the elections is the time to be making our decisions for the NEXT elections—once they’ve grabbed the ring, there’s not much you can do as they hide
behind complex obfuscations, pursue their previously secret agendas, and otherwise involve themselves in programs of per-sonal aggrandizement which have been so carefully hidden during the campaigns.
And so, I offer this heartfelt plea to one and all: PLEASE take the time to watch carefully the antics of our present politi-cians—in all levels of govern-ment, and use your observa-tions to make a careful choice of how you intend to vote in the next election.
It is a source of constant amazement to me how some people end up in office time and time again—and it’s not their fault; it’s ours. In most cases, they’ve given us plenty of warning!

Ways to Stay Sun SafeAvoid the Strongest Rays of the DayFirst, seek shade when the sun is at its high-est overhead and therefore strongest (usu-ally from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the northern hemisphere).
Cover UpOne of the best ways to protect your family from the sun is to cover up and shield skin from UV rays.
Use Sunscreen ConsistentlyLook for SPF numbers on the labels of sunscreens. Select an SPF of 30 or higher to prevent sunburn and tanning, both of which are signs of skin damage. Choose a sun-screen that protects against UVA and UVB rays (usually labeled as a “broad-spectrum” sunscreen).
Use Protective Eyewear for KidsSun exposure damages the eyes as well as the skin. Even 1 day in the sun can result in a burned cornea
Double-Check MedicationsSome medications increase the skin’s sensi-tivity to UV rays
Be Sun Safe YourselfDon’t forget: Be a good role model by consistently using sunscreen of SPF 30 or greater, wearing sunglasses, and limiting your time in the sun. Doing so not only reduces your risk of sun damage — it also teaches your kids good sun sense.

ing on first, second and third reading of the water regulations bylaw Butler contra-vened sections 101(1) and (2) of the Com-munity Charter.
3. By attending the May 4 council meet-ing and participating in the discussion of and voting on adoption of the water regu-lations bylaw, the respondent contravened sections 10(1) and (2) of the Community Charter.
4. The respondent is disqualified from holding office pursuant to sections 101(3), 108.1 and 111(6)(c) of the Community Char-ter.
5. The office held by the respondent on council is vacant pursuant to section 111(6)(c) of the Community Charter.
6. The petitioner recover its costs of the within proceedings from the respondent; and,
7. Such further and other relief that his Honourable Court deems just.
Part 2 of the petition states the factual basis of the petition of which the highlights are:
3. At all times material to this petition, the respondent has either operated a busi-ness as a sole proprietorship under the trade name ‘Eden Yardcare’ providing yard care and lawn maintenance services within the city, or has been employed by another business providing yard care and lawn maintenance services within the city.
5. On Jan. 27, 2014, prior to being elect-ed, the respondent appeared before the pre-vious council and spoke against the water meter program. In speaking against the water meter program, Butler advised coun-cil that she operated her business (Eden Yardcare) within the city and that she had concerns regarding the water meter pro-gram in respect of the business, including the fact that the rates for water usage could be changed by council at any time. Butler expressed that the water meter program would have a negative impact on her busi-ness.
6. Since being elected to office (On Nov. 15, 2014), the respondent has attended meetings of council and participated in dis-cussions and decision-making relating to the water meter program and, in particular,
relating to the rates to be imposed by the petitioner on residential property owners for water usage.
7. The respondent requested to be and was subsequently appointed to the water rates select committee, which reports to council with recommendations as to water rates for residential owners.
8. On or about Feb. 16, council received a letter from CITYzens Oversight and Par-ticipation Project (COPP) raising concerns that the respondent may have a conflict of interest in relation to the water meter pro-gram and, in particular, to the rates. The letter raised concerns of the respondent’s statements at the Jan. 27 council meeting.
9. At its in-camera meeting on Feb. 23, council, including the respondent, received verbal legal advice for the city’s solicitor (Young Anderson) advising that the respon-dent had a pecuniary conflict of interest in relation to the water meter program and, in particular, the rates to be imposed by the city on resident property owners for water usage, as a result of their potential impact on her business. The solicitor advised that she abstain from participating in relation to the water meter program and, in particular, the rates to be imposed by the city.
10. At its in-camera meeting on April 7, council received written legal advice from the city’s solicitor again advising that the respondent had a pecuniary conflict of in-terest. The solicitor again advised the re-spondent should abstain from participating in relation to the water meter program.
11. The respondent attended the April 20 council meeting and participated in the discussion of and voted on first, second and third reading of the water regulation bylaw, which further implements the wa-ter meter program and establishes rates to be imposed by the city on residential prop-erty owners for water usage. The respon-dent voted against giving the bylaw first, second and third reading. The respondent did not declare a conflict of interest in re-lation to the water meter program or the bylaw.
12. The respondent attended the May 4 council meeting and participated in the dis-cussion of and vote on the adoption of the water regulation bylaw.
14. On May 25, council, by resolution of a two-thirds majority vote, brought for-ward a petition to seek a declaration that the respondent is disqualified from holding office.
Part 3 of the petition states the legal basis of the petition referring in particular to section 100 of the Community Charter, which states that councillors who are found to have a conflict of interest are not permit-ted to participate in the discussion of a mat-ter or vote on a question in respect to a mat-ter before council.
Section 108.1 of the charter states that a person disqualified from holding office un-der this division is disqualified from hold-ing office on a local government, on coun-cil of the City of Vancouver or on the Park Board, or as a trustee under the Islands Trust Act until the next general local elec-tion.
3. A conflict of interest arises when the personal interests of a member of council appear to conflict with the member’s ob-ligation to act in the best interests of the city’s residents.
4. Conflict of interest is concerned with appearances. The determination of a con-flict of interest does not involve a subjec-tive evaluation of the actual state of mind of the member of council; rather, the exis-tence of a conflict of interest is determined
by evaluating whether a reasonable person in the member’s circumstances may be in-fluenced by his/her personal interests par-ticipating in a public matter.
6. A reasonable person knowledgeable of the facts set out in the petition would believe, on the basis of the respondent’s own admission of the impact of the water metering program, and, in particular, wa-ter rates (e.g. those imposed by the bylaw) on the business and similar businesses and on the circumstances otherwise, that the respondent might be motivated in discus-sions and decision-making in relation to the water meter program and the bylaw by the potential of financial loss to her through the business or through her employment with a similar business.
7. In the circumstances, the respondent had a conflict of interest in relation to the water meter program and the bylaw at the time that she participated in the discussion of and voting on the bylaw.
8. By participating in the discussion of and voting on the water regulations bylaw, the respondent contravened section 101(2) of the Community Charter and is disquali-fied from holding office.
Part 4 states that the material to be re-lied on is sworn affidavits from Christine Thompson, Christine Hammett and Sarah Winton.
City files petition Continued from page A1
COPP stands for CITYzens Oversight Par-ticipation Project. It is an ad hoc group that meets informally and has less than 20 mem-bers.
“It’s a group of people who are concerned with what they see as a bad situation at City Hall where some of our elected officials are not only leading the council and staff into molasses as far as getting things done, but at the time we were all worried that primarily the mayor was heading us into legal territory where we would end up being sued by who knows but possibly everyone involved in the water meter controversy,” said COPP member Les Johnson.
Johnson said the group began when sever-al people got together to discuss the situation and see what could be done.
One of the actions the group took was to
deliver a letter to City Hall on Feb. 16 raising concerns that councillor Julia Butler may have a conflict of interest in relation to the water meter program. The letter raised concerns as a result of Butler’s statements at the Jan. 27, 2014 council meeting regarding the water me-ter program in respect of the business.
The letter is referred to in the petition from the city to the Supreme Court asking for Butler’s removal from council.
Johnson said the group has no official mandate or group ethos although the mem-bers do have similar goals.
“It’s just a group of concerned citizens,” he said.
“The (unofficial) mandate [of COPP] is to get the city to stop obsessing over something that was already decided—the water meter project—and get on with the business of run-ning the city and doing it in a way that doesn’t cause us to have lots and lots of legal expense in the process. That’s basically it.”

Truck runs into houseAt 1:22 p.m. on June 16, police
responded to a motor vehicle in-cident involving a logging truck with trailers on Highway 3 and Granby.
“The logging truck was trav-elling west on Highway 3 when it was coming around the curve by Granby Road and went off the road right and drove into the house that is on the corner,” said Cpl. Richard Lanz of the Grand Forks RCMP detachment. “An odour of gas was coming from the area and Fortis Gas was called.”
Lanz said the investigation indicated that the vehicle was not speeding and possibly that the driver was having a medical emergency at the time.
“The driver sustained injuries in the collision and was trans-ported to the Grand Forks hospi-tal,” said Lanz. “The matter is still being investigated at this time.”
Lanz said a gas line from the house was ruptured as a result of the collision.
“FortisBC attended and shut the gas off,” he said. “The com-mercial vehicle inspector attend-ed and inspected the vehicle for any mechanical defects, which there were none.”
The driver was a 73-year-old male from West Kelowna.
Drunk in publicOn June 19 at 9:44 p.m., police
received a call of an intoxicated male on Market Avenue in Grand Forks.
“The male was located and was being aggressive and scream-ing at people on the street,” said Lanz. “The male was arrested for being intoxicated in a public place. The male was also consum-ing on the street.”
Lanz said the accused, a 63-year-old Grand Forks resi-dent, was locked in cells and was issued a violation ticket the fol-lowing morning for consuming in a public place and being intoxi-cated in a public place.Driver fails breath sample tests
On June 19 at 11:42 p.m. RCMP conducted a road block on 68th Avenue and Highway 3.
“One vehicle was checked and an odour of alcohol was noted coming from the driver,” said Lanz. “A roadside demand was given and two breath samples were obtained. Both results were a fail.”
The driver, a 55-year-old male from Kelowna, was issued a 90-day IRP (immediate roadside prohibition) and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days.
“The male was also issued a violation ticket for having open liquor in the vehicle,” said Lanz.Motorhome pulled over
On June 20 at 12:25 a.m., RCMP conducted another road check on Highway 3 and 68th Avenue and stopped a motorhome.
“The driver of the motorhome also displayed signs of impair-ment,” said Lanz. “An odour of liquor was noted and an ASD demand was read. He provided breath samples and the results were fail.”
The driver, a 57-year-old male from Osoyoos, also received a 90-day driving prohibition and the motorhome was impounded for 30 days.Youth assault male
On June 20 at 4:44 a.m. police were called to a complaint of as-sault and mischief that occurred at Christina Lake.
“Two youths were found ran-sacking boats at Christina Lake,” said Lanz. “A male heard this and confronted the two youth respon-sible. When he confronted them he was assaulted by one of the males and the males departed.”
Lanz said the two males re-sponsible were located. Both were young offenders who live at Christina Lake.
“Charges are being approved
for assault and mischief as they were throwing fi re extinguish-ers and whatever else they could fi nd in the boat out and causing damage to the equipment on the boats,” said Lanz.Collision sends SUV driver to hospital
On June 20 at 12:14 p.m., RCMP responded to a three-car motor ve-hicle incident on Central Avenue at 10th Street in Grand Forks.
“One male has received seri-ous injuries from the crash,” said Lanz. “One vehicle was travel-ling east when he noticed an SUV following a truck pulling a trailer travelling west cross over the double solid line and struck the east-bound vehicle. When the east-bound driver applied his brakes and was hit, the driver be-hind him ran into the back of the east-bound vehicle.”
The driver of the SUV, a male from Burnaby, suffered serious injuries and was transported to Boundary Hospital.
“At this time it is uncertain of the cause of the accident but in-
dications are it could’ve been a medical situation,” said Lanz. Break and Enter
On June 20 at 2:09 p.m. police received a call of a break and en-ter to a compound where a 2000 Chevrolet pick-up had been sto-len.
“Information later was re-ceived that the vehicle had been located abandoned in Kelowna,” said Lanz.
The investigation is continuing regarding the person who stole the vehicle. “Entry was gained into the compound by cutting the lock,” added Lanz.Cougar destroyed
On June 21 at 4:35 a.m. police and B.C. Conservation Offi cer were called to a residence on Ket-tle River Drive after a cougar had been scared up a tree.
“The cougar had a fawn in its mouth,” said Lanz.
Lanz reported that the cougar had to be put down and the fawn actually got up and went off with its mom.

Council requests feedback on metering program
At the Committee of the Whole (COW) meeting on June 15, Grand Forks City Council voted unanimously to receive a report from consulting firm Ur-ban Systems regarding the wa-ter meter project and, further, to invite feedback from water utility customers regarding col-lection of more options.
City staff will collect the feedback and prepare a re-port for council for the July 20
COTW meeting. The deadline for feedback is 4 p.m., June 25, and can be submitted by email, mail or hand de-livered.Water restrictions
Council considered a recommendation from staff to increase water restrictions. The new re-strictions would see watering go from three days per week to two days per week.
Council defeated the origi-nal motion to go to second stage water restrictions. Council then carried a motion to remain at stage one water restrictions but to have increased enforcement (through fines) of the bylaw and to reconsider stage two at the next meeting (June 29).
Council also added a provi-sion to alert the public through advertising in the Gazette about the restrictions and the applicable fines for offenders. (See page A17)
Detailed information on the city’s sprinkling regulations is available on the city’s public works website.
Allin contractCouncil approved a motion
to release both the current con-tract with CAO Doug Allin and the previous one.
The motion was passed with a vote of 4-2 with councillors Ross and Krog opposed. Coun-cillor Wirischagin was absent.Mural project
At the regular meeting of
Grand Forks City Council June 15, council unanimously ap-proved a request regarding a partnership with Selkirk Col-lege for a mural project includ-ing funding.
The mural project will be done by Amber Santos, a mu-ral artist from Nelson, working with kids aged 7-18 years old, at a series of camps run by the college.
The college is asking for $2,000 to cover items such as canvases, paint and brushes. The project would include eight 1.2 metre by 1.2 metre (4 foot by 4 foot) canvases that
would be displayed on the lift station/washroom buildings at City Park.
BETHS lease transferCouncil received a request
from Habitat for Human-ity Southeast BC for support to transfer the lease of 7212 River-side Drive (MAAP) in the event that Habitat chooses to with-draw from the lease.
Council voted 4-2 against the motion with councillors Butler and Ross voting for and Neil Krog, Chris Ham-mett, Christine Thompson and Mayor Konrad voting against. (Councillor Wirischagin was absent.)
Krog said he voted against the motion because he felt it was backwards to approve the lease transfer before Habitat even withdraws.
“We’ve had no formal infor-mation that Habitat is going to withdraw,” he said, “and this says ‘oh by the way, if they do withdraw will you just transfer the lease.’ They haven’t told us they’re withdrawing. There’s been some verbal, but not offi-cial, information. As the mayor
says, we do things in writing.”A subsequent motion, which
was approved, referred the issue back to staff to talk to Habitat and get confirmation in writing if they do decide to withdraw from the lease before proceeding.Request for proposal process questioned
In her report to council, Councillor Butler said she has received many questions about the contract that was awarded for the remediation of the grav-el pit. Butler wondered why the city only received one bid for the contact after advertising it for two weeks on the city web-site. She questioned why the
city did not advertise the request for proposal (RFP) in the paper and on B.C. bid “to receive three bids and the lowest possible price.”
CAO Doug Allin stated that the city has a new purchasing policy and
that by putting the RFP on the website, it fulfilled the policy expectations.Solid waste collection
Council approved a motion to formalize the solid waste collection agreement with the RDKB. The agreement means that RDKB will continue to provide solid waste collection service to Grand Forks through the contractor Kettle Valley Waste.Electrical utility regulatory bylaw
Council gave fourth and fi-nal reading to bylaw No. 2015, the electrical utility regulatory bylaw. The bylaw includes up-dates to allow the city to discon-nect overdue utility accounts in certain circumstances.
According to Community Charter section 18, a munici-pality may, by bylaw, establish circumstance in which it may discontinue a utility service. However, the bylaw must in-clude provisions for reasonable notice and a provision for the persons affected to have an op-portunity to make representa-tions to council.

Be on the lookout fornorthern pike
Northern pike, an illegally intro-duced species from Montana, are mak-ing their way to Christina Lake.
Northern pike numbers in Lake Roo-sevelt were significant last year, and have been reported past Kettle Falls, into the main stem of the Kettle River heading towards Canada. These non-native predators are already found in the Columbia River and have been eating rainbow trout, redside shiner, longnose sucker, mountain whitefish, Kokanee and the red-status listed en-dangered speckled dace, which are all found in Christina Lake.
Fish up to 38 centimetres long were found in the stomachs of the northern pike.
Christina Lake also contains oth-er fish species that could be at risk of predation. Northern pike can also reproduce up to 20,000 offspring in one year, according to one estimate, in-dicating their ability to compete with the local fish population. Northern pike are also known to carry diseases and para-sites. These impacts along with many more could be seriously detrimental to fish species and the lake habitat.
Northern pike have sharp teeth, and can weigh up to 25 kg (55 pounds) so anglers should be careful when fish-ing for these voracious predators. The
public is encouraged to be on the look-out for northern pike, and to inform the Christina Lake Stewardship Society of any sightings and formally report to our local Conservation Officer Service by phoning the Report All Poachers and Polluters (1-877-952-RAPP).
The daily quota for northern pike in the Columbia River is currently set at unlimited. When northern pike are fil-leted and baked they can be quite deli-cious, which is further motivation for removing these invasive creatures from our waterways.

Fire restrictions now in effect
Effective at noon today (Wednesday, June 24), Category 2 open fires will be prohibited in the Southeast Fire Centre to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety.
This prohibition will remain in place until the public is otherwise no-tified. The Category 3 open burning prohibition that was put in place on May 22, 2015 remains in effect.
Specifically, prohibited activities include: • The burning of waste or other materials.• Stubble or grass fires of any size over any area.• The use of fireworks, sky lanterns, burning barrels or burning cages
of any size or description.• The use of binary exploding targets.• The use of air curtain burners (forced air burning systems).A map of the affected area is available online at: http://bit.
ly/1dMzbdA.This prohibition does not ban campfires that are a half-metre high by
a half-metre wide or smaller, and it does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. To learn about the differences between campfires, Category 2 open fires and Category 3 open fires, please visit: http://bit.ly/1GlhE9l.
These prohibitions cover all B.C. parks, Crown lands and private lands, but do not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws and is serviced by a fire department. Please check with local authorities to see if any other burning restrictions are in place before lighting any fire.
Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associ-ated costs.
The Southeast Fire Centre covers the area extending from the U.S. bor-der in the south to Mica Dam in the north and from the Okanagan High-lands and Monashee Mountains in the west to the B.C.-Alberta border in the east. It includes the Selkirk Forest District and the Rocky Mountain Forest District.
To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or an open burning viola-tion, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

Historical society picnic Sunday
Catch up with friends and meet new ones at the Boundary Historical Society annual picnic at the Brown Creek Hall.
“We would like everyone to share something that has been lost over time. With the hustle and bustle of our fast paced lives, stop and take a couple of hours to experience a picnic,” said Janet Matsalla, historical society vice-president.
The definition of a picnic is: a pleasant or amusingly carefree experience...; a meal that is eaten outdoors especially during a trip away from home. Doesn’t that sound great?
Be there at 12 noon for the picnic. Everyone is welcome!
This year’s guest speaker is Richie Mann, who will be talking about the Dewdney Trail Project—his presentation starts at 1:30 p.m.
Mark Sunday, June 28 on your calendar and join the Boundary Historical Society at the Brown Creek Hall, 2990 Brown Creek Road East, rain or shine. Come experience what a picnic is!

Invasive Plant Control treatments will be starting on crown roadsides and trails during June, July and August within Electoral Areas E, D, C. This will include some work on municipal roadsides within the village of Midway and City of Greenwood during June and early July. This work will involve spot application of selective herbicides to control invasive plants including hoary alyssum, common tansy, common bugloss and other priority plant species on highways, secondary roads, trails, and municipal roads. Some sites will be treated manually (hand pulling) near some wells and creek bu� ers. All treated areas will be posted with signs identifying when the treatment was done and blue dye will be used so it is easy to see what has and has not been treated. A list of highways and secondary roads where treatment is planned is available at the Service BC o� ce in Grand Forks. If you are an organic producer and want to establish a no-spray bu� er adjacent to organic property you own/lease please contact Barb Stewart 250-446-2232 or email [email protected] as a list of organic producers is being generated to help guide treatment planning.
Any residents with concerns about herbicide treatment on the road rights of way adjacent to your property should contact the following to discuss concerns:

Museum hosts grand openingof solar panel project
Leading edge alternative solar ener-gy technology is now providing power to the Boundary Museum and Interpre-tive Centre’s two exhibit buildings, the former Fructova school and the newly constructed 149 square metre (1,600 sq ft) exhibit building that will house the forestry, mining and transportation vi-gnettes later this year.
The project received support from the Regional District of Kootenay Bound-ary Area D-Rural Grand Forks director who undertook to apply for the UBCM gas tax application in November 2013 to supply and install a solar panel sys-tem operated by LED lighting and heat pump system.
The $77,168.50 grant approval fol-lowed in February 2014 and construc-tion began in early spring with in-kind contributions, local businesses contract-ed and countless volunteer hours en-gaged to complete the eight-panel solar project in February 2015.
On Feb. 25, FortisBC flipped the switch and the sun-harnessed energy is effectively self-sufficiently powering the buildings with back up from Fortis.
Boundary Museum Society’s Man-ager of Operations Cher Wyers stated, “We’re anxious to see the results after the first year when we can realize the operating savings and see what impact the new solar system has on feeding power back into the grid.
“The gas tax application estimated energy savings comparison of initial costs and ongoing billing factored over 21 years as follows: on Fortis grid, .09 cents per kwh; on solar, .37 cents per kwh and the savings calculation on so-lar estimated at 8.6 cents per kwh.”
Key to this entire project has been the community businesses WD Sheetmetal
Ltd., Action Contracting and Boundary Electric (1985) Ltd. along with former museum vice-president Bob DeMaerte-laere who sadly passed away in April before seeing the project in full opera-tion.
“Bob was our ‘go-to guy’ whose ev-eryday presence at the museum with his dog Quigley by his side ensured that the project was on schedule. We will miss him very much,” Wyers said.
Thanks to the support of the RDKB, the Boundary Museum Society was able to retrofit the main museum building and today showcase it as an energy-ef-ficient success project. With advances in battery technology, it is possible to store enough power to operate both build-ings.
Wyers agrees, “By using the latest advances in technology, not only will we be minimizing our carbon footprint, by
example we will also be educating the public in alternative energy systems.”
The grand opening to view the new eight-panel solar system is Saturday June 27 commencing with a 10 a.m. solar workshop by Caleb Schmidt from Sun-find Solar Products Inc., the supplier for the high performance solar system com-ponents.
Refreshments and desserts will be available along with vendors on site to provide snacks and ice cream through-out the day to complement the bread oven demonstrations and museum tours until 4 p.m.
Admission is by donation to further assist the museum in future projects and restoration work. Come and learn what alternative energy products can help reduce your carbon footprint. Call 250-442-3737 or email [email protected] for more information.

Beware of phone and email scams
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) warns you to beware of telephone calls or emails that claim to be from the CRA but are not. These are phishing and other fraudulent scams that could result in identity and financial theft.
You should be especially aware of phish-ing scams asking for information such as credit card, bank account, and passport numbers. The CRA would never ask for this type of informa-tion. Some of these scams ask for this personal information directly, and others refer to a website resembling the CRA’s, where you are asked to confirm your identity by entering personal infor-mation. You should not click on links included in these emails. Email scams may also contain em-bedded malicious software that can harm your computer and put your personal information at risk.
Some recent telephone scams involve threat-ening or forceful language to scare you into pay-ing fictitious debt to the CRA. If you get such a call, hang up and report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre —see contact information below.
Some recent email scams involve telling you that you are entitled to a refund of a specific amount or telling you that your tax assessment has been verified and you are getting a tax re-fund. These emails often have CRA logos or In-ternet links that look official. Some contain obvi-ous grammar or spelling mistakes.
These types of communication are not from the CRA. When the CRA calls you, it has established procedures in place to make sure your personal information is protected. If you want to confirm the authenticity of a CRA telephone number, call the CRA by using the numbers on its Telephone numbers page. The number for business-relat-ed calls is 1-800-959-5525. The number for calls about individual concerns is 1-800-959-8281.
To help you identify possible scams, you can use the following guidelines:
The CRA:• never asks for information about your pass-
port, health card, or driver’s licence; • never shares your taxpayer information
with another person, unless you have provided the appropriate authorization; and
• never leaves personal information on your answering machine or asks you to leave a mes-sage containing your personal information on an answering machine. When in doubt, ask yourself the following: • Am I expecting money from the CRA?• Does this sound too good to be true?• Is the requester asking for information I
would not include with my tax return?• Is the requester asking for information I know
the CRA already has on file for me?• How did the requester get my email address
or telephone number?• Am I confident I know who is asking for the
information?• Is there a reason that the CRA may be calling? Do I have a tax balance outstanding?
The CRA has strong practices to protect the confidentiality of taxpayer information. The con-fidence and trust that individuals and businesses have in the CRA is a cornerstone of Canada’s tax system. For more information about the security of taxpayer information and other examples of fraudulent communications, go to www.cra.gc.ca/security.

Water Restrictions – Alternate Watering Days
WATER – EVERY DROP COUNTSAbiding to sprinkler regulations pays dividends. When using water responsibly and within regulations, power and operational costs are reduced saving our community money. Energy reduction also relates to less greenhouse gas emissions and less draw from our aquifer.
A new program to help el-ementary students who have difficulty functioning in a regu-lar classroom is already showing strong results.
School District 51’s Hutton Hideway Behaviour Program is run by Dr. Linda Dolezsar, known by the students as Dr. D, out of a small building behind Hutton El-ementary School in Grand Forks. Dolezsar assists the students in learning how to control (self-regulate) their anger and emo-tions along with basic functional academics and life skills through small groups and 1:1 instruction.
“It’s a really good program that’s made such a difference in their lives,” said Dolezsar.
The students in the program come from both Hutton and Per-ley Elementary schools.
“The program’s goal is to assist students early in life so that they can become successful contribut-ing members of the community,” said Dolezsar.
This is the first year of the program, which is a pilot project. There was a similar program at Walker School three years ago but
it was discontinued, said Dolezsar.“We just received funding
from the board for next year,” she said. “So it’s hopefully going to be a more permanent program.”
Dolezsar explains that before the program started she, as the district’s behaviour specialist, was going from school to school working with students with in-tense behaviours, “But there were still students who couldn’t func-tion in the classes.”
“In March of last year, I started to take students full-time on a tentative basis,” she said. “I wrote a proposal to the district where teachers get trained and the stu-dents would attend a really spe-cialized program. So it evolved from that. The need really drove it. The students I have would have extreme difficulty being in a regular setting.”
Currently, the program has six kids and Dolezsar says that will expand to eight next year.
In order to make the program succeed, Dolezsar has reached out to the business community of Grand Forks.
“While the goal is to teach students how to regulate their own behaviour, it often takes an outside reinforcement to encour-
age students to learn a new habit or behaviour,” she said. “That’s where our amazing business part-ners come in.”
Dolezsar was able to recruit four local partners, Shell, Over-waitea, Pharmasave and Extra Foods to support the program through the donation of edibles, toys and magazines that are used as incentives for the students.
“Students earn points for prop-er behaviour and then access the donated items,” she said.
A couple of the boys have even had the chance to work at Shell bagging candy for the store to sell.
Raman Singh, owner of Grand Forks Shell, came up with the idea of having students work at the store.
“Dr. D was asking for a dona-tion for the kids and I said, ‘why don’t they come participate?’” he said. “That way they would be involved and be able to do some-thing for themselves. It would be something new for them to learn and that’s how it started.”
Singh said the students are do-ing very well and have become much more outgoing.
“They are really liking it and they are coming back with more enthusiasm every week,” he said.
“We are liking this because we are giving something back to the com-munity and that’s what we’re here for.”
Dolezsar said the work at Shell really helps the kids out.
“It helps them prepare for work and also how to behave in public; how to be polite,” she said. “They love it.”
While at the program, the stu-dents do some of the standard curriculum such as Math and Eng-lish, but mostly they learn how to control behaviours using methods such as sharing, social skills, self-regulation, anger management and problem solving.
“Behaviourally, they have to be in a place where they can learn,”
said Dolezsar. “The behaviour comes first before the academics.”
Dolezsar said the program has gone very well in its first year and all the students have made big strides.
“The difference I see with the students is that they are better able to control themselves,” she said. “When they’re upset, they can calm down a lot quicker. They can apply strategies they’ve learned to problem solve such as walk-ing away instead of getting angry; compromising; taking turns with someone; sharing instead of refus-ing.”
Dolezsar said the feedback she has heard from parents has been very positive.

Work begins on native plant nurseryThe Christina Lake Stewardship So-
ciety has begun work on a project to bring a native plant nursery and a ri-parian demonstration site to the nature park at the Lake.
The project involves the construction of a native plant nursery, which will be used to grow species for planting within the restoration area, and to be used for other proj-ects within the Boundary re-gion.
“We are still in phase one, but the nursery is looking great,” said Heather Ling, senior stewardship assis-tant with the Christina Lake Stewardship Society. “Using the plants we grow in the nursery, we’re going to do restoration of the shoreline and show the public how they can do it on their own property.”
When completed, the nursery will be open to the public and tours will be available. It will showcase to visitors, landowners, and other groups of all ages dif-ferent techniques used to propogate and grow these native plants for restoration of their own properties.
The stewardship soci-ety will also be working on
building a riparian and wetland demon-stration site as well this summer at the Christina Lake Nature Park.
“Unfortunately, past land use has left the site degraded and invasive reed canary grass has taken over, prevent-ing native plant communities from re-turning,” said Ling. “This project will
attempt to restore portions of the fore-shore to native riparian/wetland plant communities to ensure long term main-tenance of wildlife habitat and water quality.”
Ling added that the protection of the water resources is especially important to the community as the lake is the main
drinking supply.The restoration demon-
stration site will also show the public how to prevent shoreline erosion, plant na-tive species and battle inva-sive reed canary grass.
“We are also hoping to incorporate signage to high-light the native plants within the area, and describe the importance of these riparian wetland areas,” said Ling. “This will also provide net-working opportunities with other groups that support healthy riparian and wetland areas such as Granby Wilder-ness Society, the Boundary In-vasive Species Society and the Kettle River Watershed Man-agement Plan Stakeholder Advisory group.”
Ling added that natural-ization of these shorelines will also reduce the amount of al-gae and aquatic invasive spe-cies within the lake, remove contaminants, nutrients and sediments from runoff, and provide other networking and volunteer opportunities.

Air Cadets visitFairchild base

On the June 5, cadets from 232 Oliver Bighorn, 531 City of Trail and 841 Grand Forks Boundary visited Fairchild Air Force Base near Spokane, Wash.
The tour began with a mission briefing from Col. Brian McDaniel, 92nd Air Refueling Wing commander, and continued with a tour of a KC-135 Stratotanker static display. Additionally, the cadets interacted with base firefighters, observing their mission firsthand.
“This is an amazing experience,” said Ryan Encina, a 15-year-old cadet from the 232 Bighorn RCAC Squadron from Oliver, B.C. “I have never seen anything like this before. This is what I want to go for in life.”
Both the crew members from the KC-135 and airmen from the fire station un-derstood the impression they could help to make on the foreign visitors.
“Community relations are a large part of our job and we always enjoy the chance to show people what we do and how we do it,” said Master Sgt. Bryan Webber, 92nd Civil Engineer Squadron fire and emergency services planning chief. “It’s not every day you get to give a tour and answer questions from (RCAC) cadets. It doesn’t matter how old they are or where they are from; getting to play around the fire trucks always makes a pretty good impression.”
The cadets have now completed their training for the year and will start a new training year in September. Over the summer, selected cadets will be attending training courses at cadet training centres located in Vernon, Victoria and Comox, as well as other locations across the country.
The Royal Canadian Air Cadets, in partnership with the Air Cadet League of Canada and the Department of National Defence has been training youth in Can-

ada for over 70 years. The Cadets are the largest government funded youth program in Canada with over 50,000 participants across Canada. The Royal Canadian Air Cadets accepts youth be-tween the ages of 12-18 who have a de-sire to learn more about the air element of the Canadian Forces, wish to develop the attributes of leadership and good citizenship and who wish to promote physical fitness. While the program is military based, there is no obligation for a cadet to join the Canadian Armed Forces when he or she finishes their ca-det career.
Cadets are also encouraged to learn more about opportunities within Cana-da’s aviation industry.

Bartlett’s bronzeaccepted at Stampede
For the second consecutive year, Christina Lake artist Joan Bartlett has had one of her bronze sculptures selected for the Calgary Stampede Western Art Auction which will take place on July 9.
One of the largest art auctions in Canada, the Stampede auction attracts hundreds of art patrons each year, eager to acquire work by some of the best artists in Canada and the U.S.
“I’m very happy to have a piece in the show again,” Bartlett said. “Of the pieces I entered for jury consideration, it wasn’t the one I thought they might select. You just never know what will appeal to the jury. ‘All Ears’ was inspired by my musings about why some ani-mals were given big ears. t was a fun piece to make and it’s fun to look at. I guess you’d call it ‘not quite traditional’ western art.”
Bartlett’s love of all things western is reflected in her lifelike western and wildlife sculptures. She is represented by galleries in the U.S. and Canada and has had work juried into many major art shows.
Most days you can find Joan work-ing in her gallery/studio, Little Burro Western Art, at Christina Lake. The gallery is one of the stops on this year’s Columbia Basin Culture Tour which takes place Aug. 8 - 9.

CRAIG LINDSAYGrand Forks Gazette
Several Grand Forks Piranhas Swim Club mem-bers hit best times on Saturday at the club’s home meet. In all, 31 swimmers took part with almost ev-eryone showing improvement since their last meet two weeks ago in Trail.
“They all swam with heart and exhibited excel-lent sportsmanship before and after their races,” said head coach Matt Grey. “We had a great deal of success individually and as a team with our team placing first for overall points. Peyton Swanson earned a silver medal and informed her coach that this was her ‘first medal for anything, ever.’”
The Piranhas ended up first in points with 481. Coming in second were the Nelson Neptunes with 286.5. Castlegar Aquanauts finished just a point behind with 285.5. Other teams were: fourth place Colville Sharks with 207 points, fifth place Trail Stingrays with 125 and sixth place Creston Waves with 43.
Lincoln Faulkner was awarded his first indi-vidual gold medal. Robbie Wark and Kohei Dunnet stood on the podium taking bronze and silver, re-spectively.
Cassiane Larson earned a bronze medal, and her competitor, friend and teammate Jailyn Needoba had an amazing day of races as well and was award-
ed a gold, said Grey.Jake Webster and Sam Podmoroff took silver and
gold, respectively, in their divisions, as did Jayden LeRoy (silver) and Sydney Gunther (gold). Isaac Holitzki and assistant coach David Hecht each won gold medals in their divisions and Hecht managed to break a 14-year-old record in the 50 metre butter-fly.
“I could not be happier with the team and can’t wait to see what they are capable of at the next swim meet,” said Grey.
Faith Thomson, who is in her second year with the club, was another Piranha swimmer who had a great meet and set several bests. She was very pleased with how the meet went for the team.
“It went really well,” she said. “I got best times in all my strokes.”
Thomson got best times in 50m butterfly, 50m freestyle, 100m backstroke and 100m breast stroke. She said her favourite is the freestyle.
“I can speed up on it and not get so tired,” she said. “I also like the flip turn.”
Thomson said she really enjoyed competing in her home pool in front of family and friends.
“I liked it because we got to do more cheers and more people can come out from Grand Forks and watch,” she said. “We had a couple of DQs (disquali-fications) but overall our team really stepped up and did really well.”

UnitedChurchturns 90
Ninety years ago the Meth-odist, Presbyterian and Congre-tational churches united to form the United Church of Canada.
In the Boundary, St. Colum-ba, Greenwood, Perley Memori-al, Christina Lake and St. John’s United, Grand Forks, gathered on Sunday, June 14 in St. Co-lumba to celebrate the event led by Rev. Kim Horwood.
The theme “Make a Joyful Noise,” included old and new hymns, a joint choir and ringing of bells, ending with a scrump-tious pot luck lunch.
ERNA GOBBETTSubmitted to the Gazette
C h i l d h o o d memories can pop up at unex-pected times.
R e c e n t l y , some thing trig-gered the mem-ory of questions
I often had as a child. For example, “What were you thinking?” “What did you think you were doing?” “Why on earth would you do that?” These questions assumed I was thinking.
As an adult I still often do things without thinking. I am caught doing or saying things that I later regret. These could have been avoided if I had put some thought into it.
Putting our mind in neutral and seeing what happens is not always good advice. On the other hand, our Lord thinks and plans. You are no accident.
Jesus dying on the cross was not an after-thought. The forgive-ness you have through Him is a thoughtful gift of love.
Jesus has a thought-out plan for you when you commit your life to him.
z View From The Pulpit
Ken Schauer,Pastor,Christ Lutheran Church
Forgiveness is a gift of love
To celebrate 90 years is to celebrate a long life, 90 years of hard work, prayerful worship and thoughtful learning.
Let us ask for courage, energy and purposes, let us walk for wisdom, faith and guidance as we walk this road together.
We give thanks for 90 years of being a blessing in Canada and far beyond our shores.Lauren and Carly Fraser were at the event to cel-ebrate.
Choir and musicians: (back row) Theo Huitema, Al Becker, Harold Funk, Kristen Nicolson and Erna Gobbett; (from) Jenn Fenn, Merle Vanderburgh, Barb Puskeppelies, Colleen Salikin, Laura Jean Cuthbert; also singing were Elaine Pattison and Jim Draper.ERNA GOBBETT PHOTOS

The Heart and Stroke Foundation has recently launched a new province-wide FAST signs of stroke awareness campaign.
FAST stands for: Face—is it drooping? Arms—can you raise both? Speech—is it slurred or jumbled? Time—to call 9-1-1 right away.
The FAST theme has been proven in many countries around the world, and is an easy way to remind people of the major signs of stroke, and the urgen-cy of seeking medical attention.
Stroke is the num-ber three killer of Ca-nadians, and is the leading cause of dis-ability. There are an es-timated 62,000 strokes in Canada each year; that is one every nine minutes. More than 80 percent of Canadians who have a stroke and make it to the hospi-tal will survive, with varying degrees of re-covery.
For more informa-tion: heartandstroke.ca/FAST.
