A few local children were able to meet some fi refi ghters on Sat-urday after making posters for them.

The kids were thrilled to meet the fi refi ghters, who in turn were very gracious and appreciative. Firefi ghter Nick Christian, from Nelson, said they really appre-ciated the home-made posters, which were at their campsite at Angus MacDonald Park. He said it made it much easier to get up and fi ght the fi res.

“It’s been unbelievable,” he said. “The community support has been huge. It’s been really nice knowing the whole town is behind you when you’re doing something that’s a hard job.”

Christian came to B.C. from Ontario 10 years ago and has been fi refi ghting for the last two years with Nelson-based Pan-orama Crew Services. They come from all over B.C. and are cur-rently battling the Lynch Creek wildfi re, 25 kilometres north of

Grand Forks. “I worked for a ski resort

company that was doing trail crew and initial attack for fi res that happened on the resort property,” said Christian. “That kind of sparked my interest. I moved to Nelson and found out there was a contract crew and hopped on that. It’s been a great two seasons.”

Christian said he works with a fi ve-man crew and they are sent to different marshalling points at wildfi res throughout the prov-ince. Before coming to Grand Forks, the crew was in High Lev-el, Alta. fi ghting a wildfi re there. He said they stay in camps or in motels, depending on the area.

“Lots of overnight camping if you can’t get a fl ight back to town so we always prepare for that,” he said. “Sometimes you have to camp on the fi re lines and sometimes in town. It just depends on the situation.”

He said they have seen good progress in their time at Lynch Creek. “It’s going good for sure,” he said. “Every day it’s a huge

group effort. Every day we’re getting it done. It’s been positive results each day.”

Christian said the smoke did make it diffi cult for crews to get information from the sky since the helicopters were unable to fl y. He did add that the wind is tough because it blows the fi re around but it’s good that it blew the smoke away from town.

“On the fi re side, it moves things around and changes the game plan of what you’re trying to do,” he said.

Christian said the support in Grand Forks has been very much appreciated by the fi refi ghters. Christian and his crew mates were able to fi nd time Saturday night to meet up with the chil-dren at Angus MacDonald, their former camping spot.

“It was defi nitely a surprise to see all those cards,” he said. “It made it really easy to do some-thing like this. This is the fi rst time I’ve had something like this in some place I’ve camped—to get that visible support.”

Alert lifted as wildfirethreat easesCRAIG LINDSAYGrand Forks Gazette

Some rain and cooler temperatures have reduced the wildfi re threats to Grand Forks. It has also pretty much cleared the smoke away from the area.

Residents certainly had a few tense days in the last week as the RDKB’s Emergency Operations Centre issued an evacuation alert for all residents south of the Kettle River and for those in Cascade and Pon-derosa areas of Christina Lake. That evacu-ation alert has since been lifted.

The alert was deemed necessary due to the high winds that threatened to blow burning embers into town causing a threat to residences.

Karlie Shaugnessey of the Southeast Fire Centre said that the increased precipitation has helped reduce the threat from the wild-fi res. She added that in many cases, some fi re crews have been sent home with the reduced threat.

“We’ve been experiencing cooler and wetter conditions and we also have cooler temperatures and more rain in the forecast so that will help decrease the wildfi re risk in the region and reduce the fi re rating,” she said. “The majority of the Southeast Fire Centre is now in the low fi re danger rating with the exception of the very west-ern edge of the Boundary fi re zone.”

This year the Southeast Fire Centre has recorded 562 fi res in the region totaling 13,920 hectares. The biggest year on re-cord was 2003, which had 644 fi res during the same time period totaling 72,036 hect-ares. The fi ve-year average is 283 fi res that burned 4,420 hectares.

The Boundary region has had 136 fi res this season, well above the 10-year average of 43. Stickpin fi re

The Stickpin fi re in Washington state continues to burn on 5km south of the bor-der. The blaze is an estimated 21,638 hect-ares and is 20 per cent contained.

The precipitation received as well as the amounts forecasted have greatly reduced the immediate fi re activity. Cooler temper-atures and rain have played a signifi cant

In response to the Rock Creek/Westbridge Wildfire and at the initiation of the Red Cross, an ad hoc committee has been struck to oversee the distribution of donated funds and resources for the residents directly affected by the fire. The purpose of the Needs Commit-tee is to help households and businesses meet their ongoing basic needs in order to regain pre-disaster self-sufficiency.

The committee is made up of Les Jackman (President of the Kettle River Lions Club), Cathy Riddle (Victim Services Coordinator), Ryan van Kuik (Pastor of Boundary Commu-nity Church), Vicki Gee (Area E director for the Regional Dis-trict of Kootenay Boundary), and Joyce Evans (Westbridge/Christian Valley resident).

While the committee is ad-vised by representatives from the Red Cross, Samaritanʼs Purse, Mennonite Disaster Service, Interior Health, the re-gional district, Habitat for Hu-manity and other agencies, it is the members of the local com-mittee who (on a case by case basis) decide on the placement of donated funds (keeping the decisions as local as possible).

It is the primary goal of the committee to meet immediate

basic needs of those directly af-fected by the fire. The next pri-ority is to assist with long-term housing solutions for those who are uninsured or under-insured. Thirdly we will work to help with other losses incurred by the fire.

If you wish to donate, you can do so by stop-ping by the Greenwood branch of the Heritage Credit Union or by mail-ing your donation to the Regional District of Koo-tenayBoundary (202 - 843 Rossland Ave., Trail, BC, V1R 4S8). Please des-ignate your donation is for the “Rock Cree /Westbridge Fire Needs Committee” and include your full name and mail-ing address so your tax deductible receipt can be issued.

While the regional district is handling the funds, it is the commit-tee who decides how and when it is spent.

The committee en-courages other collec-tions of donations to ei-ther be forwarded to this fund or to be in commu-nication with the com-mittee. This way as many needs as possible will be met (without missing anyone or doubling up).

If you have any questions or would like to recommend recipients/highlight needs, contact the committee through Vicki Gee (250-446-2042 or [email protected]).

Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC (HFHSEBC) has launched a campaign to raise donations to help the Boundary families who lost their homes due to the recent fires.

Fires have taken their toll across southeastern B.C. and the communities of Rock Creek and Westbridge have en-dured the worst of the devastation.

People in the Boundary Region are positive, generous and incredibly hospitable. Confronted by the overwhelm-ing circumstances of losing their homes, our thoughts, prayers and support are with those who were affected.

Rock Creek and Westbridge needs our help, and we need yours to assist in re-building homes.

HFHSEBC is now accepting cash donations and pledges of building ma-terials or services for this initiative. The Rock Creek/Westbridge Needs Com-mittee has been formed to respond to the recovery effort.

HFHSEBC will be a part of this com-mittee and be indirect engagement as one of the stakeholders helping families who lost their homes.

Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC is a tax-exempt

non-profit organization. You can find out more about how to get involved by

calling: 250.442.2722 or email [email protected].

Habitat steps in to help with rebuilding effortsBY BOB HUFF, HFHSEBCSubmitted to the Gazette

As most residents who were impacted by the Rock Creek/Westbridge wildfire have now met with support agencies, the Midway Resilience Centre will be closed at 5 p.m. today (Wednesday). However, all resi-dents will be able to continue accessing all the same services by calling the Red Cross at any time at 1-888-800-6493.

Residents can also con-tinue their recovery process by confidentially discussing what help they still need with an Unmet Needs Committee. The members of this committee will collectively assess the needs in the affected areas and decide how best to use donated funds and keep them local.

EditorialiNSIGHTYOUR NEWS VIEW

It was less than a week ago that it looked like we were in dire straights. We were surrounded by wild-fires, the highways looked like they could close, the Stickpin fire raged only a few kilometres south of Grand Forks and half the town was under an evacu-ation alert. Many residents were worried as helicop-ters flew over head (when they could) and buses, fire engines and firefighter crews descended upon town.

A couple of days of cold and wet weather later and the fire danger is averted. The burning embers, for the most part, did not fall from the sky and threaten the town. The evacuation alert was lifted and life is pretty much back to normal. Whether the number of wildfires in our area this year is an anomaly or a har-binger of things to come (the new “normal”) is hard to say.

It also didn’t take long for the Southeast Fire Cen-tre to rescind the campfire ban. This decision upset many people coming so soon after the hot and dry conditions left our region very susceptible to fires. Rebuilding for parts of Rock Creek/Westbridge will likely take years—after all, 30 residents lost their homes.

A few industrious people have set up an online petition calling for the reinstatement of the campfire ban. It didn’t take long for firefighters to have to put out a small fire started by an abandoned fire.

Even without a campfire ban, campers need to be vigilant.

HOW TO REACH US

Reproducing photos was not always so easy a process

I’m amazed at the volume of photos people have taken, emailed, and shared on social media in the last few weeks. Probably the least that’s been done with these photos is actu-ally getting them printed.

To the youth of today, it’s nor-mal; to me, not so much.

Consciously look at the pho-tos in this paper: from photos of events, “mug shots” in col-umn heads, small teaser photos in the “nameplate” on page one (and smaller yet, staff photos in the “masthead” on page four), to photos of houses, cars, trucks and merchandise in the ads. It’s easy today to use so many photos.

That certainly wasn’t always

the case.When I started in this career,

it was in the late 1980s at the Boundary Community News.

Some long-time residents will remember the News, it was a newspaper owned and pub-lished by Bill Burnham. It wasn’t a leaflet, it was a newspaper with as many pages as the Gazette and as many features and photos. It was located in the back of Grand Forks Flooring, which at one time was a separate space. It was a small office with a darkroom tucked in at the back.

The reporters took photos with film, and the rolls went straight back to John Semenoff in the darkroom.

Sometimes the salespeople took photos for their ads, but often they had prints of houses for sale, or vehicles, or what-ever—those we tacked onto a board hanging on the hallway. Someone, usually Bill, would

take photos of all the prints on the wall. Then John worked his magic in the darkroom.

When I moved to the Gazette in 1990, I was surprised by the sheer space, for one thing—at that time the Gazette used the entire building, and all three floors. The paper also had TWO darkrooms!

Upstairs was where the film was developed. I’m having a hard time remembering who was the darkroom tech at that time. I believe Herb Noseworthy had retired from the Gazette by then. Was it Gary Trent? I think Sarah Wyatt joined us after I started.

(She was patient enough to teach me a bit, but what she made look easy, wasn’t. And I was scared to death of ruining a film strip—we couldn’t pop the cam-era card back into the computer to re-download our photos.)

All the prints that needed re-producing, such as house photos

for real estate ads, were done in the basement darkroom. How clearly I remember that base-ment! If you didn’t knock your-self senseless on the low ceiling, you made it to the darkroom to manhandle a LARGE camera with a steel tray so heavy you were lucky you didn’t break a wrist if it slipped on you.

You put the original photo in one end of the camera on a plate with a glass cover, and turned it up to face the camera. If I remem-ber right, it was there that you set the percentage you wanted the image reproduced at. On the other end, you set the exposure time, placing special paper in the heavy tray, and flipped that up. Hit the button, and very bright lights blasted for the desired time. The bulbs were ultra-sensi-tive, with a price to match.

No, you weren’t finished. Next it was over to the PMT machine. PMT stands for photomechani-

cal transfer, a method of produc-ing photographic prints or offset printing plates from paper nega-tives by a chemical transfer pro-cess rather than by exposure to light.

The machine wasn’t big: no more than two feet wide and a couple inches deep, it held chemicals and a set of rollers. The paper from the big camera was put together with another type of paper (don’t expect me to get too technical here, I think you can guess I stole the PMT description from the Internet!) and through the rollers the two went. The image transferred, and a negative image becomes a positive image.

Did you know it wasn’t until 1995 that the Kodak DC40 and the Apple QuickTake 100 become the first digital cameras market-ed for consumers? That’s only 20 years ago. I reckon I don’t feel so old after all.

Opinion

Letters to the editor A harbinger of changeA report to city council on August

17 by David Reid, Manager of Op-erations, included an announcement that one of the city’s aging vehicles would be replaced with an all-electric model and that three electric charg-ing stations would be installed, two near city hall and another at the city works yard.

Will the city’s move be seen as the harbinger for an electric vehicle future for Grand Forks and area or will it be seen as another unnecessary investment?

In actuality, the purchase of the all-electric vehicle (EV) and the installation of charging stations is part of the city’s ongoing program to keep city’s carbon footprint as close to zero as possible as required by B.C.’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Act and the Carbon Neutral Government Regulations.

The two charging stations at City Hall will add to the number of charging stations available to EV owners who are travelling on Highway 3. A charge will take less than two hours at a cost of under $10.

During the discussion of Reid’s report, Doug Allin, chief administrative officer (CAO, reminded council about the city’s carbon reduction program that began in 2008 when the Gordon Campbell gov-ernment passed legislation that required all public sector organizations?schools, post-secondary insti-tutions, government offices, Crown corporations and hospitals?to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2010. They were asked to mea-sure all emissions, reduce them and to purchase off-sets to achieve net zero.

Offsets were to be purchased through a Crown corporation called Pacific Carbon Trust (PCT), a body created by the government to invest in “made-in-B.C.” offset reduction projects that were in com-pliance with the BC Emission Offset Regulation.

The city was able to achieve the “carbon neutral” goal by the deadline but did not purchase offsets from PCT. Instead it placed the funds in a special account that will eventually be invested in regional offset projects.

In 2014 PCT was replaced by the Climate Invest-ment Branch (CIB) of the Ministry of Environment Climate Action Secretariat (MOE) as a cost-saving

measure.The phrase “carbon foot-

print” is the 21st century ver-sion of a phrase coined in 1992 by Dr. William Rees, a human ecologist, ecological economist, Professor Emeritus, and former director of the University of

British Columbia’s School of Community and Re-gional Planning in Vancouver who used “ecological footprint” to describe the number of acres of land needed to support a given human population, not just to grow their food but to handle their overall carbon output.

An indicator of the growing use of EVs in British Columbia is the increasing number of vehicles be-ing charged mainly in the lower mainland. A report from the Fraser Basin Council states that as of Octo-ber 2014 the number of EVs using some 550 public charging stations in BC doubled between August 2013 and August 2014.

With the increase in charging stations, an increase in the number of vehicles to choose from in Canada (now at 39), more reasonable EV prices, and low op-erating costs, the transition to EVs may come sooner than expected.

The annual operating for an EV is estimated to be $350 while the cost of operating a fossil fuel pow-ered vehicle is $3,600.

Following the council meeting I mused about the difference electric vehicles would make to the city environment particularly in the downtown com-mercial area.

I thought about a time in the future when gaso-line and diesel powered vehicles no longer domi-nated the streets and parking lots. I thought about cleaner air, much less noise and an overall healthier environment. I also thought about the possibility of owning an all-electric vehicle after decades of oper-ating gas-powered machines.

How many electric vehicles would it take to make a difference in air quality and noise pollu-tion? The answer to the question will only be known when residents decide to take emissions seriously and make the conversion to EVs and that will take some time. Old habits die hard.

Thank YouLawrence and Mel would like to thank all of the volunteers who gave up their weekend or Sunday to make Park in the Park happen. THANK YOU so very much.

Lawrence, Mel and Grand Forks Park in the Park would like to thank all the participants who came from as far away as Manitoba, Alberta, Vancouver Island and Washington state. Many took alternate routes to our event on the weekend of Aug 14-16. We were so overwhelmed by all the messages and phone calls we received from people wanting to know how to get here from the west side of the province and from many others elsewhere wanting to know if the event was still going to take place. Car people are some of the most resilient people we know, making a special effort to get to where they are going. It just shows with how many came from Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. THANK YOU! A thank you also needs to go out to the people of Greenwood who put together the mini car show for Saturday. Everyone had a wonderful time in the city being a part of the scavenger hunt put together by Vanessa and Joanne of the Copper Eagle Cappuccino Bakery.

We would not be able to host this event without our wonderful sponsors. These people are the ones who incur costs, Park in the Park can’t afford. These people or businesses support us in many ways. They pay for our trophies, giveaways and goody bag items. There is a list of them on our website, www.grandforksparkinthepark.ca, please check them out.

We also would like to thank all of our vendors for participating in Grand Forks Park in the Park, again there were many, they are also listed on the website. We also would like to thank Keith Rowell for his donation to our cause.

We would like to thank the general public for coming out and seeing what we have to offer. Thanks for supporting the food bank as well. We look forward to seeing you again in 2016.

Good times to be had by all

Let’s reconsider use of resourcesEditor, The Gazette:

I am sure Rock Creek resi-dents that lost everything in the fire were heartened by Christy Clark’s windy blather.

In the meantime, the wheels keep rolling, profits flow into timber and mining corpora-tions. Mount Polley mine is to reopen, as if nothing had happened, and throughout this drought the logging has been continuing in our area, as if nothing were dreadfully wrong.

Trees also are a part of the hydrological cycle, and judg-ing from the size of timber at

the mill, there is not much left. Treeplanting cannot have gone too well this spring, with the intense heat.

Our landscape reflects our ignorance and our understand-ing of how systems function. Its degradation shines a light into our own future.

I hope this year will be the year where communities can come together and reconsid-er the use of resources which has exceeded all possibility of their recovery.

Angelica Herlihy,Grand Forks

Editor, The Gazette:I remember 50 years ago in

Calgary when the planes were there and would refuel at the airport.

While the airplane got refu-eled, the captain of the air-plane was talking to us about how big and powerful the jet engines were. I forgot many things but I remember how powerful those jet engines are and that keeps mulling around me all the time.

It was about 40-45 years ago I started to notice the air

getting warmer and the lakes don’t freeze over anymore. Every year it gets warmer.

I started thinking about what was happening. The last few years people have been talking about the greenhouse gases. The greenhouse gases don’t carry any heat.

I was thinking about the jet plane. When the plane takes off, they are much more powerful than 50 years ago, behind the jet plane the nozzles (trails) stay behind the aircraft

School bus safety for bus ridersMany students take the bus to school twice a day,five days a week. Approximately 26 million elementary and secondary school children ride school buses daily in the United States, and the U.S. Department of Transportation says more than 50 percent of all K-12 students in the country ride yellow school buses, traveling approximately 4 billion miles each year.The vast majority of these miles are traveled without incident. In fact, according to the National Safety Council, the national school bus accident rate is 0.01 per 100 miles traveled, compared to 0.96 for other passenger vehicles, which makes school buses considerably safer than other passenger vehicles.Though school buses are safe, there are other ways to make them even safer. Children, especially thosenew to school buses, may find the bus fun and unique and not pay attention to simple safety rules.But parents should take steps to ensure that youngsters always heed the following school bus safety guidelines.

• Wait for the bus in a safe location that is away from traffic, ideally staying in a designated school bus stop until the bus arrives.

• Dress for optimal visibility, especially in inclement weather when it can be difficult for the school bus driver and other motorists to see pedestrians.

• Do not board the bus until it comes to a complete stop. Wait for the driver to open the door, which engages the “Stop” sign for oncoming motorists.

• Use the handrail and enter the bus in an orderly manner.

• Promptly find a seat, sit down and buckle the safety belt if there is one available. Students assigned seats on the bus should take their seat without making a fuss.

• Keep backpacks and other belongings out of the center aisle. Store them under your seat or on your lap.

• Remain seated at all times while the bus is in motion.

• Keep arms, hands, legs, and heads inside of the bus at all times.

• Always follow the driver’s instructions and avoid situations that will cause driver distraction.

• Wait for the bus to stop completely before standing up or attempting to exit.

• Exit the bus in an orderly manner, without pushing fellow passengers.

• Only cross the street in front of the bus. It is very difficult for the driver to see students crossing behind the bus.

• Wait for the driver to check traffic before crossing the street and be on the lookout for inattentive motorists.

School bus safety for bus ridersResearch conducted by Transport Canada shows that school bus travel is one of the safest methods of transportation. It is 16 times safer than travelling in a family car per passenger/kilometre of travel. Although school buses have an excellent safety record, mishaps can happen. These mishaps can include instances where children are injured while riding on the bus. It is more common however, for injuries to be sustained once outside the bus, including being hit by their own school bus or other vehicles.Every driver must remember that when approaching a stopped school bus (on a non-divided road) that has its overhead red signal-lights � ashing and side stop sign out, must stop before reaching the bus and must not proceed until the bus moves or the overhead red signal-lights have stopped � ashing.

Though school buses are safe, there are other ways to make them even safer. Children, especially those new to school buses, may � nd the bus fun and unique and not pay attention to simple safety rules.But parents should take steps to ensure that youngsters always heed the following school bus safety guidelines.

for 50-60 kilometres. They follow every jet plane, pol-luting the air and heating the air. There are hundreds of jet planes circling the globe for the last 50 years heating and pol-luting the air.

Up there is the moisture

that’s supposed to protect us. The jet airplane engine sucks in the cold air and produces hot steam. The hot air started to build up there and come down.

One solution is to use a propeller. If you stand behind one, the air stays cold. Shut

down the airliner and go to propeller aircraft. After some years the air might settle down to normal.

Lower speed limit through city

Continued from page A5

Editor, The Gazette:In reducing the speed limit

on its city roads, the City of Rossland has taken a posi-tive step towards increasing safety for all road users and pedestrians, reducing noise and pollution and enhancing the livability of their mountain town.

In responding to at least some of the questions posed in Roy Ronaghan’s recent piece entitled “A place called Grand Forks,” emulating Rossland’s lead might be a comfortable place for all of us to start. His article, after all, begs the ques-tions of what sort of place do we wish to live in.

I shall concede that there are big differences between our two communities, well known enough to not qualify here.

As we all become more aware of the ravages of climate degradation, surely affecting the quality of all our lives, it is both timely and prudent to test the notion of a similar initia-tive here.

Rossland has reduced its limits on city streets from 40 km/h to 30 km/h, in school zones down to 20 km/h and in drop-off zones down to 15 km/h, by any measure coura-geous and sensible steps that will meet high levels of local approval and make their town an even more pleasant and safe place to live in.

For Grand Forks, Highway 3 will be the bone of contention although it need not be so: The 3.5 kilometres from Spraggett Road to the Granby Bridge at a steady 50 km/h, highly un-likely under almost all circum-stances due to school crossings, traffic lights, turning vehicles, stray dogs, skateboarders, errant cyclists and the other usual impediments, takes four minutes and twelve seconds.

The same distance, driven at a steady 30 km/h, also un-likely, takes seven minutes, a time differential of a piddling two minutes and forty-eight seconds.

The question becomes,

should we invoke measures of city-wide speed reductions for the sake of less than three minutes on Highway 3? I think the answer is a no-brainer but you can bet your bottom dollar that, for as long as time is perceived to equal money, the professional associations representing truck loggers, long-distance haulers and so-on, will contest it.

Which I find strange be-cause so many of them live here one would expect they’d have a vested interest in the livability of our community and go for it.

And the two lovely articles from Vanessa and Katelyn last week—brim-full of youthful optimism and vigour—indi-cate desire to become involved. I’d be the first to agree that the world is their oyster although, by this letter, suggest there is still much to be done on their doorstep before they go.

Dave Milton,Grand Forks

Bethany Sue Thate’s two boys Willson and Sebastian were both very excited to see the firefight-ers. Both boys were happy to make posters for the firefighters. Their father is a volunteer firefighter in Grand Forks so they do have first hand experience.

“The boys were so excited,” said Bethany Sue. “Willson’s life is fire-fighting. He has worn his fire gear since he was two. He even wears it to church. The boys made pic-tures for the firefighters because we saw it on Facebook and they love to draw. They watch for the fire trucks and always ask to drive by the hall.”

Although Sebastian was too shy to be in the picture, they both gave the firefighters big hugs before

they departed.Six-year-old Brooklynn Sterling

was another local child who was thrilled to meet the firefighters. She also enjoys colouring and wanted to make pictures for the firefighters.

“It was fun and exciting to meet the firefighters,” she said. “I’m very thankful because they keep us safe.”

Brooklynn and her friends were glad to be outside on Saturday when the smoke finally began to clear in Grand Forks. “The smoke was bad and yucky,” she said. “I was stuck inside. The smoke was creepy and made me feel like I was going to be stuck inside forever.”

Although she finds the wildfires scary, Brooklynn feels much safer knowing the firefighters are pro-tecting us.

part in helping suppress this fire. Crews have been making great progress towards constructing guards and tying into existing roadways. On Monday they continued with extensive guard building, both by hand and with the help of several pieces of heavy machinery.

There are currently 15 BC Wildfire Service firefighters, eight helicopters and six heavy equipment pieces.Paulson fire

The Paulson Pass fire, which is located 15 kilometres north-east of Christina Lake and west of Highway, is still at 320 hect-ares and is now 90 per cent con-tained. Crews are continuing to mop-up on the western and northern flanks. Ten firefighters are on scene.Lynch Creek

The Lynch Creek fire, which is 25 kilometres north of Grand Forks, is at 1,966 hectares and 15 per cent contained. This fire has merged with a nearby fire which was burning in Gladstone Provincial Park increasing the amount of hectares. Tuesday crews were continuing to work on containment of the south and west flanks.

The fire is currently not threat-ening any structures or commu-nities; however, the smoke from this fire is visible to residents in the North Fork region. A public access restriction is in effect im-mediately for the Gladstone For-est Service Road due to the high fire danger rating and adjacent wildfires.

This restriction will remain in force until the public is otherwise notified. Forty-five firefighter personnel are on scene.Rock Creek

The fire west of Rock Creek is currently at 4,417 hectares and is 100 per cent contained. The change in size is due to more ac-curate mapping with aerial scan technology. BC Wildfire Service crews along with contract fire crews are continuing to secure and mop up along the fire line perimeter. On Monday a heat scan was completed and identi-fied over 40 hotspots within the fire perimeter. Crews are work-ing to seek and extinguish these hotspots. Where applicable, equipment recovery will com-mence supported by aerial op-erations.Smoke

Trail may have the Smoke Eat-

ers hockey team, but last week Grand Forks residents were the real smoke eaters. In fact, early last week Grand Forks air qual-ity was among the worst in the world.

The smoke was so bad the filter on the machine that reads the air quality levels became clogged stopping the machine from working. At it’s worst, the air quality in town was suspect-ed to be over 350 PM 2.5, which is 15 times the acceptable level (25).

The measurement reads the amount of particulate matter (PM) in the air.

Although he did have ac-cess to previous Grand Forks air quality readings, Tarek Ayache, air quality meteorologist with the BC Ministry of Environment, said the bad air quality in the Okanagan set records.

“This episode has broken re-cords in the Okanagan as far as smoke conservation,” he said. “I expect that’s probably the case for the rest of the southern part of the province. It was 350 at one point. That’s when the moni-tor went out so it could’ve been higher.”

The air quality in Grand Forks was 25 PM 2.5 yesterday (Tues-day).

Campfi res are once again permit-ted throughout the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdiction.

The Southeast Fire Centre re-scinded its campfi re prohibition Monday due to cooler and wetter conditions in the forecast and a de-creased wildfi re risk in the region.

The following activities are now allowed:

• Campfi res no larger than a half-metre wide by a half-metre high.

• An open fi re in an outdoor stove.

Anyone who lights a campfi re must have a hand tool (such as a shovel) or at least eight litres of wa-ter available to fully extinguish it. Never leave a campfi re unattended and make sure that the ashes are completely cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time.

A map of the area where the campfi re prohibition has been lifted is available online at: bit.ly/1dMzbdA.

Small backyard burning piles (Category 2 open fi res) remain pro-hibited within the Southeast Fire Centre.

These prohibitions include:• The burning of any material in

a pile larger than a half-metre wide

by a half-metre high, up to two me-tres wide by three metres high.

• The burning of stubble or grass in an area covering up to 0.2 hectares.

• Fireworks, sky lanterns and burning barrels.

• The use of binary exploding targets.

• The use of air curtain burners (forced air burning systems).

Category 3 open fi res continue to be prohibited throughout the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdic-tional area.

These prohibitions cover all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but do not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fi re prevention by-laws and is serviced by a fi re de-partment.

Please check with local govern-ments for any other restrictions be-fore lighting any fi re.

Anyone found in contraven-tion of an open burning prohibi-tion may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fi ned up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to one year in jail.

If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfi re, the per-son responsible may be ordered to pay all fi refi ghting and associated costs.

Retirement Living at it’s Best

In this modern age there is no reason that seniors shouldn’t have the best retirement possible. The ideals of having a comfortable home, being able to set your own schedule based upon your interests, exceptionally delicious and nutritious food with the company of others: this should be the norm, not the exception. Seniors should be able to live in a place that ensures they can maintain their independence while also having their needs met, instead of just a ‘home on the hill,’ Fortunately Silver Kettle Village believes in the higher quality of life and aims to provide an entirely new form of housing to seniors that will ensure all residents will have the most opportunity to experience the best years of their life, on their terms.

Silver Kettle Village is an amazing community located at an ideal location in Grand Forks, British Columbia. It features a variety of apartment sizes to suit any senior’s lifestyle ranging from studio apartments to two bedrooms supported with various cooking and cleaning services to ensure that seniors can spend more time living their lives and less time worrying about scrubbing the floors. Included in each of these maintenance-free suites is a range of features designed to accommodate even the most independent resident’s desires, while still having 24-hour emergency monitoring service for a little extra piece of mind. Full kitchens are laid out to be as bright and comfortable as possible and come with a stove and refrigerator to allow for the preparation of personal meals or snacks anytime. Each suite is also equipped with its own personal heat and air conditioning to allow the residents to decide their personal comfort level.

Stepping beyond the privacy of their personal suite, residents will find a wide range and variety of common and shared areas including a fully stocked library, on-site beauty salons, a luxurious and relaxing spa room, a games room filled with a variety of leisure opportunities, and an activity-room which hosts a range of interesting events and entertainment. All this is supplemented with several very cozy and conveniently-placed

lounges. Each of these areas is easily accessible, and help to encourage the strong sense of community that makes the Village such a wonderful place to be. Silver Kettle Village also realizes just how much pets are a part of the family which is why the building is completely pet friendly, encouraging residents to bring their companions with them to share their suite.

The hospitality services come with no extra charge to the affordable monthly rent which allow residents to enjoy worry-free benefits like the 24-hour emergency monitoring, weekly housekeeping, the wide variety of daily social and recreational activities, as well as the complimentary shuttle bus. Also of note is the fantastic central dining room which is both elegant and intimate with its own fireplace. There, residents can enjoy delicious meals which are prepared by on-site chefs, and are served by a passionate and cheerful wait staff who are always happy to welcome guests and family to any meal.

In addition to these wonderful amenities, utility bills including water, heat, air conditioning, and cable television are covered by the low-monthly rent, allowing seniors to spend less time worrying about bills and more time enjoying their retirement.

Silver Kettle Village’s location in Grand Forks is only a short drive away from the small town’s historic downtown which is filled with an array of shops and services. Nestled in the Kootenay Boundary, one can be assured of spectacular and scenic views of the surrounding mountains. This setting only adds to a peaceful and relaxing environment that Silver Kettle Village aims to provide for its residents. With many parks, golf courses, and the magnificent Christina Lake located nearby there is an abundance of adventure to be had.

Without having to worry about the responsibilities of home-ownership seniors at Silver Kettle Village are able to enjoy their lives to the fullest in whatever way they choose. Open daily, call (250) 442-0667 to find out more information or to schedule a tour. 6785 - 19th St., Grand Forks

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Please join us for our

Pet of the Week - Page 2!

Pedestrian bridge studiedBuilt it and they will come. That is the mantra

for Grace McGregor, RDKB director for Christina Lake, and the pedestrian bridge she and others hope to erect.

The bridge location would be where the old highway used to go, just a few metres away from where the Highway 3 bridge is.

“We want people to be able to go for a walk, stop at the Welcome Centre if they want, come down here, go across and they could go up to the pickle ball and the exercise area and commu-nity hall, and loop around and come back,” said McGregor from the bridge site. “A lot of people do walk and they walk over and get the mail or to the store but a lot don’t like that (Highway 3) bridge.”

McGregor said she’s been using the Highway 3 bridge since it was built in 1962 and it’s never been pleasant to walk on. “It also doesn’t have much room for wheelchairs and scooters,” she said, “and it’s dangerous for kids. It’s also dan-gerous for kids to cross the highway. We’ve been trying to get the Ministry of Transportation for eons trying to get either some caution lights up there or a crosswalk and we continue to work on that.”

McGregor said the pedestrian bridge has been in the works for several years.

“When we at parks and recreation started talking about this years ago, this was John Pratt’s dream,” she said. “Even before we had a parks and rec, John was part of a committee and they actually had some plans for a walking trail. His family continues to hold that dream. I too agree it would be really nice if we could do it. How are we going to do it is a big issue.”

McGregor said the bridge would cost about $1.2 million. “Do we have that kind of money? Absolutely not. Am I going to tax for that? Ab-solutely not,” she said. “When the grants come down it’s all about being shovel-ready or shelf-ready. We want this to be engineered and ready so if there are grants out there we want to be ready to apply.”

McGregor reiterated that they would not raise taxes in Christina Lake to pay for the pedestrian bridge project.

Not everyone at the Lake is in favour of the project. Some of the residents living on the road to the proposed bridge site do not want increase foot traffic in their neighbourhood.

McGregor said that there are also some that would like to see the pedestrian bridge on the other side of the highway since there is no cross-walk in the area.

In order to gauge public opinion, the RDKB held an open house at Christina Lake on Aug. 20 at the community hall. There was also an online survey on the RDKB website.

“We wanted to have the public meeting to put it all together so we could see who would benefit, how many people are in favour, how many are dead set against it,” said McGregor.

McGregor said they are still compiling the re-sults and expect to complete the feasibility study in October.

“I think we’ve been successful in talking to people,” she said. “We’ve had it on the website, we’ve sat down with people one on one, we’ve had people fill out forms, we had the public meeting. I don’t think we can do much more. That’s all part of the process. It looks really good when you apply for a grant that you’ve actually talked to your community.”

News

A car was written off after being hit by a falling rock on Highway 3 just west of the Paulson Bridge. There were no injuries.

“There was a fairly large rock that came down and struck a car with four people and two large dogs,” said Ken Gresley-Jones, fire chief. “The car was totalled. The rock hit the front end and broke the wheel off. It also did damage to the steering and driving mechanism.”

Gresley-Jones said the rocks that came down were hot from the wildfires in the area.

He added that they contacted Emcon Services (highway mainte-nance company) and they brought up a snow plow to remove the rocks from the road.

“There’s lots of signs up there now,” said Gresley-Jones. “It’s a no-stop area. They’re keeping reg-ular patrols to make sure it’s safe but it’s a very unstable area up there.”


Rock hits car near Paulson Bridge

TSA audit finds only one violationBC Timber Sales and timber sale li-

cence holders have had their annual au-dit for the Boundary timber supply area and one licence holder was found to have violated forest practice legislation.

The audit, which was done by B.C.’s Forest Practices Board, covers forest planning, silviculture, fire protection, harvesting and road activities in the

province.Only one timber sale licence (TSL)

holder, from Salmo, was found to have failed to maintain proper drainage on a road above unstable terrain, which in-creases the risk of landslides and is not in compliance with legislation.

“Since the audit work was done, the TSL holder has fully decommis-sioned the road and addressed the sur-face drainage issues,” said Tim Ryan, board chair.

All but one TSL holder failed to for-mally assess the fire hazard following logging. “So this is an area for improve-ment,” said Darlene Dean, communica-tions, Forest Practices Board.

Timber sale licence holders are re-sponsible for harvesting, fire protection, and most road and bridge construction, maintenance and deactivation within cutblocks.

“A bottle of red, a bottle of white, it all depends on your mood tonight. I’ll meet you anytime you want in our Italian res-taurant.” Pop music legend Billy Joel sang that line a few years ago in his hit song Scenes From an Italian Restaurant. Now local foodies can make their own scene thanks to a new restaurant that opened in Christina Lake last month.

Transplanted Venetian Lorenzo Som-maggio moved to the area after several years of living in Florida, where he also owned and operated an Italian restau-rant. He had no problem coming up with the name of the restaurant, Il Lago, which means “the lake.”

“We do most Italians foods and do it by order,” he said. “Everything is fresh.”

Sommaggio came to Christina Lake even though he had never been there be-fore. After researching on the Internet and coming for a visit, he and his wife decided on making the move.

“I saw there was a big Italian communi-ty here in Christina Lake and Grand Forks and no Italian restaurant,” he said. “I saw

there was a space for rent. So I remodeled it and everything has gone very well.”

Sommaggio and his wife like the com-munity and find everyone to be very friendly.

The restaurant is open from 3 to 9 p.m. from Thursday to Monday. The restaurant is located in the Christina Lake Village at 19 West Lake Drive. He anticipates being open for lunch for pizza and sandwiches in the fall. Sommaggio is also hoping to open the bar/lounge next door soon as well.

For now, Il Lago offers traditional Ital-ian cuisine such as chicken marsala, chick-en ricotta, linguini, spaghetti and lasagna.

“We also sell a lot of seafood,” he said. “We have a seafood plate with everything on for $19.99. We have shrimp, scallops, clams and calamari over pasta with salad or soup and bread.”

Sommaggio also added that the fettuci-ni is very popular. “A lot of people like Al-fredo,” he said. “We make is special here by order, not premade. We make shrimp and scallop Alfredo.”

Of course, the old Italian standby spa-ghetti and meatballs is always very popu-lar at Il Lago. Sommaggio said Italian food

remains popular due to its hearti-ness and simplic-ity.

“Italian food is tasty and sim-ple,” he said. “There’s not too many ingredients inside and it’s not too expensive.”

The restaurant opened on July 23 and business has been quite good, says Sommaggio.

“I’m quite surprised for a small town,” he said. “We’ve had people come from Grand Forks and Trail as well. People like it.”

Sommaggio said they haven’t had too many tourists yet because they haven’t put a sign up on the highway but he an-ticipates that will come soon.

Sommaggio was busy recently making breakfast, lunch and dinner for the 25 vis-iting firefighters who were staying at the motel next door.

“I was happy to do that,” he said. “These people are very nice. It was no problem.”

Exhibit about pilgrimageWhat does the word “pil-

grimage” mean to you? A spiritual quest to a sa-

cred site? A chance to honour a saint, god or hero? Slow, mind-ful travel? A penitential or re-demptive journey? A difficult journey? Your life or the life of someone you know?

However you define it, walking “the way” can often lead to moments that evoke awe, wonder and hope in our hearts. Or as Salman Rushdie puts it, a moment which allows us “to glimpse an eff of the inef-fable.”

It is these moments that in-spire us to record or commemo-rate it in some way: through photography, video, song, po-etry, prose, painting, sketching, quilting, collage, sculpture or whatever expressive media is available to us.

Imagining a platform for people to share those “gifted moments” of the pilgrim with others is the inspiration for The Travelling Eye in Your Pilgrim-age—a multi-media exhibition of photo images, art, video and

writings—at Studio A, 7330 Second St. in Grand Forks, Oct. 23 – Nov. 6..

All residents of the Bound-ary are invited to be part of this exhibit by submitting their work by the deadline of Sept. 20.

We encourage a variety of entries and interpretations of the “pilgrimage”– submissions of any pilgrimage, any belief and any medium are welcome!

The exhibition will be pro-fessionally curated, and as the studio can only accommodate

up to 40 images, it is advisable to submit your entries as soon as possible. To “pass muster” at the submission stage, mini-mum image size of any photo will need to be 5x7”, and all art or writing need to be in fi-nal stages of completion. More information for submitters can be obtained by emailing [email protected], or [email protected].

Bring on your ideas and questions for this first ever ex-hibition of pilgrim-inspired art!!


The Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program is beginning its second year in Grand Forks.

Junior youth between the ages of 11 and 14 have much to say, and the empowerment program (JYSEP) is designed to assist them to navigate through this crucial stage of their lives by enhancing their spiritual perception and strengthening their powers of expression.

It is an international so-cial action program with over 10,000 groups meeting weekly throughout the world, in both urban and rural settings. It em-powers participants to articu-

late concepts with precision, to reinforce their moral decision-making capabilities and to con-tribute, through service in their communities, to the building of a better world.

The JYSEP’s primary func-tion is to serve as an environ-ment of mutual support for its members. A participant in Grand Forks expressed that she “liked learning new words and how everyone is friends and tries to show respect and kind-ness for each other.” This is re-enforced through discussions that occur as they study differ-ent concepts together, through playing games and the artistic and social activities that they plan as a group, and by design-ing service projects that they

work on together. One member expressed this

feeling for all group: “We re-ally like doing the service proj-ects—it feels good to do things for other people.”

Last fall they collected near-ly $800 worth of food in their neighbourhoods for the food bank. Staff kindly gave them a tour, explaining how the food bank worked and what the needs of Grand Forks and the surrounding area are.

During the winter they vis-ited people at Hardy View Lodge, making cards for them at Christmas and on Valentine’s Day. “I like talking to them and seeing the smiles on their faces,” said one young member.

In the spring they undertook two projects: they made “seed bombs” with clay, compost and native grass and flower seeds supplied by the Invasive Spe-cies Society and distributed them in a designated area. They also designed and constructed a concrete bench, placed at a viewpoint on the Trans Canada Trail, with financial assistance from the Grand Forks Trails Society and a donation of co-loured glass from Moonflower Studios. The support from the local community has been fan-tastic.

There will be an information booth at the Child and Youth Open House sponsored by Grand Forks and District Rec-reation on Sept. 10, or call 250-442-3035. The local group meets on Thursdays after school from 4-5:30 p.m. and is anticipating starting again on Sept. 17.

A variety of entries and interpretations of the pilgramage are en-couraged.

Close to 40 players took part in the Grand Forks Border Bruins training camp this past weekend at Jack God-dard Memorial Arena.

New coach and general manager Em-ery Olauson likes what he sees so far with his young starts although he ad-mits that there is plenty of work to do. He said with an open try-out they saw a wide range of levels among the players.

“Overall, we’re happy with the group of players,” he said. “Britt (assistant coach Ouellette) and I have been work-ing the phones trying to fill some voids where we’re maybe not skilled enough. Overall, I think camp moved us one step in the right direction.”

Olauson said the Bruins are hoping to add more talent when Junior A teams start making cuts.

“We want to find those diamonds-in-the-rough that drop down to this level and can really help us,” he said. “We’re anticipating a handful of players we’ve stayed in touch with.”

Training camp for the Bruins started Friday with a couple of on-ice practice/evaluation sessions. Saturday saw more of the same as well as a goalie session and a couple of scrimmage games. Sun-day the team travelled to Osoyoos for an early exhibition game against the Coy-otes, losing 5-2.

After the weekend, the coaches pared the team down to 24 players including four goalies.

“Our goaltenders have really looked good through camp,” said Olauson. “We have four high-quality goalies left. Our defence core return are good and we added three defencemen that I think can help us as well. Our d-core and our goaltending will be a strength this year.”

Olauson said the team is looking at improving its forward lines but are also looking to improve in every area.

Olauson was happy with the team’s effort in Osoyoos but found the execu-tion lacking. He did admit that it gave the coaches an opportunity to evaluate some of the borderline players.

“We competed hard and scored the first goal,” he said. “We had some mental lapses in the second period. We haven’t practice yet as a team, it’s all

been camp. This week will be working on our defensive coverage—what to do with the puck in our d-zone and com-municating and all that.”

Scoring for Grand Forks in Osoyoos were Josh Windley, who also added an assist, and Jonas Rivas, who played senior hockey with Lac La Hache last year.

The team travels to Creston tonight (Wednesday) to face the Thundercats. The Bruins then return home for a tri-ple-header this coming weekend with Osoyoos in town Friday, Princeton Sat-urday and Creston Sunday.

The regular season kicks off on Sept. 11 with a home game against the North Okanagan Knights at Jack Goddard Me-morial Arena. The following night the Bruins host the Summerland Steam.

Swimmers show off talentThe Grand Forks Piranhas

Swim Club showed off their talent and spirit at the British Columbia Summer Swimming Provincial Championships, which took place Aug. 21-23 in Victoria.

Of the 24 swimmers from the team who attended the re-gional qualifying meet in Cas-tlegar, 17 swimmers qualified to attend provincials. Ultimate-ly, 16 swimmers from the team, including coach Matthew Grey, competed in the capital.

While the Grand Forks Pi-ranhas are a small team com-pared to many across the province, their performance at provincials showed them to be just as elite as their urban peers in spirit, determination and

performance.In true Piranhas spirit, the

team swam their hearts out with nearly every swimmer improving upon personal bests achieved at regionals. While all athletes placed within the top 24 swimmers in their respective divisions, a few accomplish-ments are of special attention.

Ethan Argue, a first-year Division 5 swimmer, placed fourth in his 50 metre free-style. He swam an incredible race shaving off an impressive amount of time from his previ-ous bests.

Division 1 swimmer Lincoln Faulkner also impressed in his 50 metre free by taking off an incredible five seconds from his previous personal best result-ing in a seventh place overall.

Division 4 swimmer Kiyo-mi Dunnet came close to the

podium in her 50 fly with yet another best time and a fourth place finish.

Leena Corbeil, an exception-ally dedicated athlete, swam a personal best and earned a 15th place in some tough Division 5 competition in the 100 fly.

Jasmine Konken, a relatively new swimmer racing in Divi-sion 2, swam hard for a seventh place finish in her 50 fly.

Lastly, Shian Corbeil showed the true meaning of persever-ance when she accomplished a best time she had been striving for all summer in the 100 back-stroke, finishing 10th overall.

The Piranhas have trained hard and had a lot of fun all summer, and now they are en-joying some much-deserved rest. Their winter maintenance program will start up in No-vember.


Yoga builds strength, flexibility Try yoga for free

Yoga poses work by stretch-ing your muscles and holding the pose for a period of time. You will feel results from yoga very quickly in a program. In one study, people improved their flexibility by up to 35 per cent after only eight weeks of yoga.

Yoga can provide strength and endurance benefits with-out the physical impact on our bodies.

Many yoga poses build up-per-body strength, especially if you hold them for several long breaths. They build strength in your hamstrings, quadriceps and abs, and also in your upper and lower back. When done right, nearly all poses build core strength in the deep ab-dominal muscles.

When you’re stronger and more flexible, your posture improves. Most standing and sitting poses develop core strength, since you need your core muscles to support and maintain each pose.

Yoga also helps your body awareness. That helps you notice more quickly if you’re slouching or slumping, so you can adjust your posture.

Yoga usually involves pay-ing attention to your breath, which can help you relax. It may also call for specific breath-ing techniques.

Yoga has long been known to lower blood pressure and slow the heart rate. A slower heart rate can benefit people with high blood pressure or heart disease, and people who’ve had a stroke.

GFREC will be offering a free evening yoga class on Monday, Sept. 14 from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. in the Arena Viewing Room. Come out and meet the instruc-tor and get an idea if this type of exercise is for you.

You can register for the 11-

week program that will start on Sept. 28. Deadline to register is Monday, Sept. 21.Stretching is important

It is very important for all ages to make time to be active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. As we approach retirement age it becomes easy to skip a day of exercise or become more seden-tary.

Stretching is a very impor-tant component of an exercise routine. Stretching helps in the relief of arthritis, deduces aches and pains and makes move-ment easier.

GFREC offers Stretching For Mobility drop-in classes are held Tuesday afternoons from 1 - 2 p.m. and Friday mornings from 11 - 12 p.m. in the Arena Viewing Room. Drop-in fee is just $2/class.

Christina Lake Recreation offers one session a week at the Christina Lake Community Hall on Wednesday afternoons from 1 - 2 p.m. Drop-in fee is just $3/session.

Fall classes will resume the week of Sept. 8.Get ready for Terry Fox Run

The Terry Fox run, walk, ride is strictly for fun and geared for all ages and for the entire family to come out and take part. This year’s event will take place on Sunday, Sept. 20 starting and finishing at the are-na parking lot at 10 a.m. sharp with registration starting at 9:30 a.m.

Entry is by pledge or dona-tion. To collect pledges you can go online to terryfox.org to print off an official form. There is no minimum pledge or dona-tion required.

the fall yoga program and Stretching For Mobility or about upcoming fall program-ming, call us at 250-442-2202 or email at [email protected].

He’d hope that you can carry on, the way you always do

So talk about the good times and the ways you showed you cared

The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared

Let memories surround you.

Judith (Judy) Mae Watts July 17, 1944 – August 1, 2015.

It is with great sadness that the family of Judy announces her cross-

ing. Judy crossed over peacefully in her sleep at Boundary Hospital, Grand Forks, British Columbia with her family close to her.

Predeceased by her beloved husband David, Judy is survived by her daughter; Kristina (An-drew) and her sons, Wayne (Angela), Ben (Sandra), Steve (Kim), Stuart and Jamie (Wendy); grand-children Matthew (Jamie-Lynn), Elizabeth, Grace (Niklas), Joshua (Carley), Steven, Kiefer, Adrian, Madison, Calli, Julia, Kaitlyn, Lucas (Michelle), Eli-sha and David; great-grandchildren Kristina-Lynn, James, and Lane, Sophia and Aiyla Pahl; her sister Lillian (Brian); and her nieces Sheryl and Kim (Scott); grandnieces and nephew Dawn and Jenna (Tyler), Clayton and Elizabeth and great-grandniece Brynlee.

Judy had lived in Grand Forks, B.C. with her husband David for the past 10 years. During that time, through her great passion for living life and helping others, Judy became an important and very special person to many people she came in contact with. Judy had a great love and talent for painting and arts in general. Judy’s artwork can be seen at Fine Art America under Judy M. Watts-Rohanna.

Please join us in a celebration of life for Judy on September 19th at 1:30 p.m. at 5730 Edwards Road, Grand Forks. In lieu of fl owers, a donation can be made to a charity of your choice.

If you’re hungry, you qualifyHunger Mat-

ters—and it mat-ters everywhere!

Here in the Boundary we are lucky to have a number of organizations working to com-bat hunger on both a short-term and long-term basis. These in-clude: Boundary Com-munity Food Bank, Whispers of Hope, Community Christ-mas Hamper Program, Kettle Valley Seventh-day Adventist Church, King of Kings Church, FAR (Food and Re-sources Society), The Bridge, St. Jude’s An-glican Church, Green-wood Food Bank,

Food Share, Blessings Boutique & More, and others.

I’m grateful that I was able to attend an interagency meeting recently in Midway with representatives from these groups as well as local govern-ment. The three and a half hours flew by as we shared ideas and concerns, partially re-garding needs caused by the Rock Creek wildfire; but mostly regarding the ongoing needs of our commu-nities.

Some of the key points that came up repeatedly were as fol-lows:

• If you’re hungry, you qualify.

The working poor, the unemployed, fami-lies, singles, young or old; if you’re hungry, one or more of the organizations listed above can help you. And any of them can point you in the right direction to get the as-sistance you need. Re-member, if you’re hun-

gry, you qualify.• If you’re

going to donate, please donate what is needed, not just what you want to get rid of.

Phone the food bank, com-

munity kitchen or other organization and ask them what they need. People who aren’t getting enough to eat are often filling up on unhealthy, non-nutritious foods.

Most organizations are unable to accept home-baking, home-canning or opened packages but fresh produce and protein sources such as peanut butter, canned seafood or meat, and dried or canned legumes are especially welcome.

• The people us-ing these services are no different than you or I. Many of them suffer from physical or mental disabili-ties; they worry about school supplies and new shoes for growing children, they watch the value of their pen-sion decrease as prices increase, and they try to hold on to their dig-nity and pride.

They are our friends, they are our neighbours, and they

are as much a part of our community as you or I.

Hunger Matters, and no matter where we are in the Bound-ary, we can all be part of the solution.

The Christina Lake Stewardship Soci-ety (CLSS) would like to remind pet-own-

ers of the “Don’t Let it Loose” campaign by the Invasive Species Council of B.C. (ISCBC).

Many common household pets such as snakes, fish, rabbits and turtles are often

released and pose a threat to native spe-cies by providing competition and spread-ing disease. These pets often have no natu-ral predators, and are considered invasive species.

Aquarium plants being released are also a threat to native plant species, like Curlyleaf Pondweed, an aquarium escape that now outcompetes the native plants of Christina Lake.

Pet store turtles, like the red-eared slider, can live up to 40 years and when re-leased pose a threat to B.C.’s native painted turtle populations.

There have been reports of sightings of Koi goldfish in Chris-tina Lake, which com-pete for food with the native fish.

Other commonly released species into the wild in B.C. in-clude European cot-tontail rabbit, ball python, and Nile monitor lizards.

Releasing pets into the wild can be considered animal cruelty and is illegal; you can be fined up to $10,000 and/ or re-ceive jail time of up to 18 months if the pet release is tracked back to you. The public should report sight-ings of all invasive species to their local invasive species coun-cil, and within the Boundary area this includes the Bound-ary Invasive Species Society, or the Chris-tina Lake Stewardship Society.

CLSS has more in-formation on these household escapes at our office in the Chris-tina Lake Welcome Centre. The Invasive Species Council of B.C., at bcinvasives.ca, also has other resourc-es on the “Don’t let it Loose” campaign. Remember to think about the amazing di-versity of wildlife and plants within our area before introducing these invaders into our backyard.
