Time is running out for those wanting to stop the draining of Marshall Lake and decommissioning of Providence Dam as the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) confirmed last Friday that their “preferred option” is to drain the lake this fall and then deconstruct the dam next year. In an email response, MFLNRO Public Affairs Officer Brennan Clarke said the ministry completed a feasibility study outlining options for decommissioning the dam at Marshall Lake in August. “Current plans are to gradually pump the water out of Marshall Lake starting on or about Oct. 15,” stated the response. “Water will be pumped down the spillway and provincial staff will be on site around the clock to ensure operational and public safety concerns are addressed. This process is expected to take two to three weeks.” The ministry states that draining Marshall Lake will take the pressure off the dam, thereby reducing public safety risk. “It would also allow time for the foreshore around Marshall Lake to dry, facilitating road construction to Lot 1705 (the only cabin owner on the lake) next year.” Clarke’s email noted, however, that a number of details remain to be worked out before the lake can be drained, including further consultation with landowners and licensees, and the replacement of a culvert

Theft doesn’t get grads down Students of BCSS Class of 2013 and parents were out in force last Saturday for a bottle drive that gathered recycling from the entire West Boundary. Their fundraising efforts suffered a short-lived setback two-weeks earlier when recycling that was bagged and waiting for pickup at the fall fair was stolen.

at Elkhorn Street in the City of Greenwood. Local elected officials had a meeting during the UBCM convention in Victoria last week with MFLNRO Minister Steve Thompson and Boundary Similkameen MLA John Slater about the dam. Present were Greenwood Mayor Nipper Kettle, Area D Rural Director Irene Perepolkin and Greenwood Councillor Barry Noll. “We got the update and as I had heard the cost to upgrade the dam is around $500,000,” Kettle wrote on his Facebook page after the meeting. “The de-

commissioning is around $56,000 and could be a lot lower if the Army Corps stationed in Trail does the work.” He said they were told any savings will be put back into the restoration of the landscape of the lake in Phase II and that the rock that they remove when breaching the dam will be used to build access for the cabin owners. Greenwood resident Christopher Stevenson, who has been a key figure in the fight to save the lake, asked

School gets assistant The delegation of Beaverdell Parent Advisory Council President Michelle Kreutz and teacher Jennifer Eaton before last months’ school board meeting to convince the trustees to put a second staff person in the school during school hours has been successful. At the start of the school year only Eaton was in the building with the students. “We were in conversation at the time at the September board meeting,” said Superintendent Michael Strukoff. “A resolution hadn’t been reached. Subsequently every school district has received some learning improvement funding so Beaverdell was given some that funding and a little bit of a top up from operations so that gave four hours of Educational Assistant (EA) there.” The CUPE custodian, who will perform two hours of custodian duties during school hours,

has filled the four-hour EA position. “So we’ve got a six-hour CUPE employee who performs two jobs over there for us,” said Strukoff. “But again we want to reiterate that the school district’s plan for having only one person there is perfectly acceptable for WorkSafeBC,” he argued. “That is not the driving force for this decision. There was some need for educational support in that school and that’s how that came about.” “The school should have had two staff in the school from the beginning of the school year instead of waiting a few weeks,” Boundary District Teachers’ Association president Norm Sabourin said. He gave several scenarios of situations, though admittedly remote in possibility, where a second staff member would be desirable – such as a medical crisis or other emergency.

School forum poses questions CASSANDRA CHIN Grand Forks Gazette

School District 51 (SD51) had an open forum to discuss transforming the province’s graduation requirements on Sept. 26 at Dr. D. A. Perley Elementary School. Andy Leathwood, director of instruction for School District 8 (Kootenay Lakes), is one of six directors in the province leading the discussion. “We’re going to talk about some changes that are being contemplated in the education system in British Columbia,” he said. “From my perspective and experience, those things are both large. We’re hoping the input will be far-reaching and long lasting.” Ideas that were discussed during the meeting included students being able to communicate face-to-face and being able to manage themselves, such as financial management and cooking skills. At the moment, students are required to complete 80 credits to graduate, with 48 required credits, 28 electives and four grad transition credits that are also required. There are also five provincial exams. The question raised during discussions was whether or not the provincial exams should be kept or discarded. “The idea is to determine what are we going to do with the kids that we have, not only those students who are graduating this year, but the kids who are entering the school system right now,” Leathwood said. The discussion was fostered by teachers, SD51

trustees and school staff, and everyone provided input on what they felt could better the education system. Everyone was asked to write down comments on the questionnaire provided. There are five questions that the Ministry of Environment is asking the public: 1) What do you think are the core or essential things all students should know, understand and be able to do by the time they leave secondary school? 2) Beyond the core, how could pathways for choice or exploration be provided? 3) Research is underway with a focus on the following cross-curricular competencies: communication, critical thinking, creative thinking and innovation, personal responsibility and wellbeing, and social responsibility. How do you think students could demonstrate this? 4) How could students learning be communicated to students, parents or guardians, or postsecondary institutions or employers? 5) How would you design an awards program to recognize student success in a personalized learning environment? The process of the Graduation Dialogue Committee began in June 2012. Partners co-ordinated with regional discussions on graduation. In September to October, there will be working sessions where the public will be invited to provide their comments, and in November a draft will be created. The final outline is set to be complete by January of next year.

Kettle to provide reference to the documentation detailing those costs. “Were those numbers stated during the meeting with the minister, by Thomson and his staff,” asked Stevenson. “We’ve been asking for documented costing for months now, and have, to date, never seen anything that gives us that information.” In a June 2012 meeting, White showed a Power Point to Greenwood council and regional district representatives that showed an estimated $135,000 cost to bring the dam up to CDA standards plus annual operation and maintenance costs of $35,000. Diane Gottselig, whose family owns the cabin adjoining the lake, confirmed on Facebook that her parents had attended a meeting with MFLNRO staff in Penticton last week. She said the government had presented eight proposals about the issues concerning government cut backs and Marshall Lake. “They want out of the responsibility of paying to ensure the safety of the dam,” she wrote.

“My parents, Richard and Donna Gottselig, also had three more proposals (plans) for the lake and regarding our current use, future use, access and stability of the lake.” Gottselig said that currently the family is unable to access their cabin by car and only with difficulties by truck. She said her parents told the government they would like their access back to ensure safety and also to allow proper use of the property for the rest of the hunting season. She also said her parents told the government they may not start any type of activity with trucks on their property during that time. Providence Dam was identified by the government as a liability risk that they no longer wanted to be responsible for following the failure of the Testalinden Dam near Oliver in 2010. Should the dam ever fail it would drain along the Providence Creek drainage, entering Greenwood at the north end of the city on its way toward Boundary Creek. The fish and wildlife branch of the Environment Ministry owns Providence dam, located approximately five kilometres east of Greenwood.

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) hosted their third annual Champions of Literacy on Wednesday, Sept. 26 in Grand Forks – a celebration of those who contribute to literacy in the Boundary. Many of the names of those honoured this year will be familiar to their West Boundary neighbours. International Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey (Statistics Canada) Literacy is defined by Statistics Canada in its International Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey as “the ability to understand and employ printed information in daily activities, at home, at work, and in the community to achieve one’s goals, and to develop one’s knowledge and potential.” Moreover “literacy can include social, emotional, and interpersonal communication skills, the use of technology, and arts and creative expression.” For more information about CBAL contact Sheila Dobie at sdobie@cbal.org or cell # 250-584-4109.

Responding to a CRA Information Request The Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA’s) goal is to have each paper-¿led return processed and a Notice of Assessment mailed out to the taxpayer within four to six weeks. For e-¿led, net-¿led, or tele-¿led returns, the Agency’s selfimposed deadline is reduced to two weeks. Working within such time frames, it’s obviously impossible for the CRA to examine every return in minute detail and to verify the accuracy of each and every deduction and credit claimed. And that’s why many Canadians ¿nd an unexpected letter from the Canada Revenue Agency in the mailbox at this time of year. Receiving unexpected correspondence from the tax authorities is almost guaranteed to be unsettling for the taxpayer who receives it. But in most cases, it’s nothing more than the CRA ful¿lling its administrative responsibilities with respect to the assessment of tax returns. Canada’s tax system is a self-assessing one, in which taxpayers use a standardized form to provide the revenue authorities with a summary of their income and allowable deductions and credits for the year, calculate tax owed on the resulting taxable income, and remit that amount to the CRA. In many ways, it’s a system that relies heavily on the voluntary and honest participation of taxpayers. The recent trend, encouraged by the CRA, toward electronic ¿ling of tax returns has made the veri¿cation process considerably more dif¿cult. When a return is ¿led through electronic means, no paper changes hands, which means that there are no receipts provided to the CRA to substantiate claims made by taxpayers for any deductions or credits. It’s clearly impossible to contact everyone who ¿les a tax return electronically, let alone all tax-¿lers. Instead, the CRA employs a number of review programs in which some taxpayers are contacted either before or, more likely, after their returns have been ¿led and assessed, and asked to provide additional information, documentation, or receipts in order to support claims made on that return. Most of those review programs are carried out between the months of September and February. While it’s unsettling, even where everything is in order, to have one’s return selected for such review, in the vast majority of cases, a request for additional information or documentation is simply that and no more. Taxpayers often wonder why their particular return was singled out for review, and how they

19. Vivien Browne 20. Karen Penner 21. Mary Rock 22. Heather Shilton 23. Pam Smith 24. Kathleen Gabelmann 25. Donel Clark 26. Leanne Hammet 27. Heather Fletcher

could have avoided it, but in many cases, the return was simply selected at random. That said, it’s also true that there are some events or circumstances that increase the likelihood that the CRA will request further veri¿cation of claims made on a return. As a general rule, where a current-year return contains information that is signi¿cantly at variance with that ¿led in previous years (for example, a signi¿cant increase in the amount of medical expenses claimed), the chances that the taxpayer will be contacted for more information increase. Similarly, a change in the taxpayer’s personal circumstances that alters the tax deductions or credits for which he or she is eligible may generate a query from the CRA. In the vast majority of cases, claims made and information reported on a return are accurate and legitimate, and once the CRA is provided with the requested information or documentation, the matter will be at an end. Problems arise, however, where taxpayers either don’t have the documentation requested (because they haven’t kept, have lost, or have destroyed the related receipts) or because they simply elect to ignore the letter from the CRA in the hope, perhaps, that the Agency will forget all about it. Unfortunately for such taxpayers, either approach will eventually end with the return being reassessed to disallow the deduction claimed, and the resulting increased tax bill. The onus is always on the taxpayer to provide proof of eligibility for any deductions or credits claimed, and the CRA has the legal right to ask for such proof and to disallow deductions or credits where that proof is not forthcoming. The vast majority of requests for information issued by the CRA are generated simply as part of their standard review programs and don’t mean that there is anything “wrong” with the taxpayer’s return. Responding to the CRA’s request in a timely fashion with the requested information or documentation will, in nearly all cases, bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion for both the taxpayer and the Agency.

Girls clinch third place tourney finish The BCSS Junior Girls Volleyball Team had an outstanding start to their season this past weekend as they took third place at the UBC Okanagan Heat Tournament in Kelowna. There were 32 girls teams and 28 boys teams participating. The tournament was split into three tiers, with Tier 1 being the highest skill level; BCSS played in Tier 2. The local team soundly defeated George Elliot (Lake Country), Summerland Secondary, W.L. Seaton, Vernon Secondary, Penticton Secondary and Kelowna Christian to make it to the semi-finals where they forced Rutland Secondary to a third game which BCSS lost 14-16. This loss took the Road Runners to a match against Kelowna Immaculata to fight for 3rd place in the tournament, and the local girls prevailed in two games. “This is a great start to our season and I was extremely proud of how well the girls played,” said coach Lisa Baia. Back row, left: Road Runners Lisa Baia (coach), Daina Shaw, Daniela Bergendahl, Maddie Baia, Madison Harpur; Front row: Erin Ray, Miranda Boltz, Kari Durban, Sydney Storie.

THE BOUNDARY CREEK

A DIVISION OF BLACK PRESS – PRINTED EVERY THURSDAY. Mailing address: Box 99, Greenwood, B.C. V0H 1J0 Street address: 318 South Copper Avenue, Greenwood, B.C.

A good read Provincial Ombudsperson Kim Carter has provided a powerful new tool to local government and citizens with the release of her latest report, Open Meetings: Best Practices Guide for Local Governments. Local leaders will often cite the “three Ls”: land, labour and legal as those topics that belong in a closed meeting. The guide, however, uses a different phrase: “Generally, it will be appropriate to close a meeting where discussion of a subject in an open meeting raises a reasonable and identifiable possibility of damage to the interests of the local government, the public, or a third party.” Specifically, only subjects identified in section 90 of the Community Charter may be discussed in a closed meeting, as all other topics are governed by the open meeting requirement in subsection 89(1). Not only local government councils but also other organizations may also benefit from the information in the guide. A checklist is included to assist in following appropriate practices in those specific and limited circumstances when a council may believe it is necessary to close a meeting. Recommended reading for local municipal councils would be those parts of the guide that cover what should happen after a closed meeting. According to the guide, “Local governments should strive to release as much information as possible as often as possible, in order to demonstrate their commitment to the principles of transparency and accountability and to receive the benefit of a more informed, engaged and trusting public. Information that would no longer undermine the reason for discussing it in a closed meeting should be released as soon as practicable.” Open Meetings: Best Practices Guide for Local Governments can be downloaded from www.bcombudsperson.ca .

OFF THE WALL Boundary Central Secondary School

Grade 8’s welcomed!

School with a view

My name is Rhya Merrell and I am in grade eleven at Boundary Central Secondary. As a student in Journalism 12, I have been given the opportunity to have my work published in The Boundary Creek Times. The class is still fresh for me, and I know I have a lot to learn about journalism, but I am getting into the flow of it quickly. I have some exciting information to share this semester. I am especially eager to report on our school’s upcoming Christmas production of Grease, where the students are singing, dancing, and acting under the direction of Mrs. Tripp. I hope to have a great experience writing for this newspaper, but most importantly, I wish to give you a glimpse of life at the local high school, through the perspective of a teenager. I hope you enjoy what you read and I will do my best to keep you updated on life at Boundary Central.

On Friday, September 14th, the annual Grade Eight BBQ took place, with the Grad Class of 2013 hosting the new students in the grad lounge. The sponsor of this event is the Rock Creek General Store, which graciously supplied burgers, buns, chips, and juice boxes for all the grade eight and twelve students, as well as the staff. The BBQ gives the new grade eights an opportunity to get a warm welcome into the school and to get to know the grade twelve students. This tradition has occurred at the high school for many years, and is eagerly anticipated by the grade twelve students each year. Our new shop teacher, Mr. Campbell, grilled up a storm as the hungry students gathered to pick up their lunches. Grade eight and twelve students mingled in the grad lounge, gathering around the tables or sitting on the couches. This is the one time the younger students are allowed in the grad lounge, and it can sometimes be a bit frightening. However, the grade twelve class did a great job at making the younger students feel comfortable and welcome. Erin Uyeyama and Taylor Filgate enjoying the BBQ

Dani McQueen, Thomas Galeazzi and Pravin Blasing wait patiently.

The Teams Are in Action

For the sports teams, another year began with a kicking start. The boys’ soccer, girls’ junior volleyball and grade eight volleyball teams have been made and sent to action. This year the soccer team is mixed, with players from grade eight to grade twelve. On September 21 and 22, the boys had an excellent weekend winning against Grand Forks and Nakusp. They also had two ties, one with Kimberly and the other with Creston where the winner was decided over a shoot-out. The boys chose Baily Shaw for the MVP of the tournament. A big “thank you” goes to the PAC for the new uniforms and to Gerry Shaw for his help coaching the team with Ms. Slaney. Another big “thank you” goes to the boys for their hard work and their great start to the season. BCSS is very proud of you. There will be upcoming games against Kelowna and Trail as well as regionals. Good luck! For girls’ junior volleyball, there are fourteen players from grade nine and ten, while the grade eight team has twelve players. There is no senior team this year, but there will be one next year. The junior team played in Kelowna on the September 28 and 29 in a tournament consisting of forty teams. Play days for both teams will be starting in October. Stay tuned for when home games will be, so you can come watch and cheer our teams on.

Hello University On October 22nd there will be a visit starting at 8:30 am from several universities and colleges at Boundary Central Secondary. This gives the students the chance to ask questions to any of these universities or colleges and get as much information as they can. Parents or Guardians are welcome to come as well. There will be more information on the post-secondary institution day at a later date.

At times it was as if big-city traffic congestion had been plunked down in the middle of the Boundary on Hwy 3 between Midway and Greenwood for the past fortnight as FortisBC was replacing a gas pipeline under the highway that had been put in over 60 years ago. According to Ray Bergevin, engineer on record for the project, FortisBC had identified some corrosion pits in the casing of the carrier pipe underneath the highway. “So they are going to take that casing out and replace the pipe that’s underneath the highway with a brand new pipe,” said Bergevin, who works with Stantec Consulting from Calgary. The job was scheduled for 10 days – Sept. 24 to Oct. 4. Bergevin said the gas company had run a diagnostic tool through the pipeline about two years ago and scheduled this work to be done. Traffic control was on duty 24/7 at the crossing point to

slow vehicles as they went past the narrow work site. According to the DriveBC website the road was reduced to single lane alternating traffic with up to 20 minutes delay from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The wait stretched to an hour or more on Friday afternoon though. Jo,hn Quinn, FortisBC Senior Project Manager based out of Surrey, said the project was standard pipeline operation maintenance for a transmission pipeline. “This is a continuous program in Fortis in monitoring the integrity of all existing pipelines,” Quinn told The Times. “As part of that various upgrades and improvements are done.” Quinn said the work plan did not anticipate any impact on Boundary Creek – that only the section of pipe under the road was being replaced. A large roadside pullout south of the worksite was used to fabricate and pressure test the new piece of pipe.

Mayors endorse infrastructure statement

The first ever BC Mayor’s Caucus was held last week as 140 mayors from across B.C. met in Victoria prior to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities annual convention. On the topic of infrastructure the BC Mayors’ Caucus endorsed the following statement: “We agree that our communities require immediate action to provide stable, predictable, long-term infrastructure funding from federal and provincial governments, to meet municipal needs as defined by each community’s priorities. This statement affirms and complements the efforts of UBCM and FCM to address the infrastructure needs of communities to ensure social, economic and environmental wellbeing.” The next Mayors’ Caucus will take place April 29 and 30, 2013 in Prince George, and invitations will be sent to Premier Christy Clark; Leader of the Official Opposition Adrian Dix; BC Conservative Leader John Cummins and Green Party Leader Jane Sterk as well as the Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities for the Government of Canada to address the mayors. Greenwood Mayor Nipper Kettle kept a daily diary on his Facebook page of the meetings and other sessions he and Councillor Noll attended during the weeklong gathering. MLA John Slater joined Kettle and Noll when they met with Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Bill Bennett to talk about developing plans for O’Hairi Park in Greenwood; a meeting was held with Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) Minister Steve Thomson to get an update about Providence Dam/Marshall Lake; and they also met with Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Mary Polak to talk about the possibility of the city getting access to recycled asphalt pavement for their own streets. There was success on the convention floor too as Greenwood’s res-

olution calling for “cell phone hotspot” signage was passed. This would let travellers know where there was connectivity along highway corridors so they might pull over and make important calls. Midway Mayor and council had also three meetings while at the convention.

Mayor Randy Kappes told The Times they met with the MFLNRO to share developments on the West Boundary Community Forest file, with BC Ambulance Service to talk about ways to ensure the local service remains in place, and with the RCMP to discuss a number

of issues including getting an update on plans for a new detachment building in the village. Kappes said they were told that while Midway is still on the list of places that need a new building, the work is not listed on the RCMP’s current five-year plan.

Survey to help understand watershed Submitted

What do you need to tell the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary about the Kettle River Watershed? That’s the focus of a new survey to understand the needs, values and issues that residents and stakeholders have concerning the health of the Kettle River and the lakes, streams, and aquifers that feed it. According to Mark Andison, director of planning and development for the Regional District of Kotoenay Boundary, this

Church Directory

survey is an important part of developing the Kettle River Watershed Management Plan. “With the survey going out to all watershed residents in the Boundary, the Regional District has the opportunity to learn more about the high priority issues that we need to address in the plan.” The survey is part of the effort to have a broad level of public involvement, which so far has included numerous public events and meetings. “This whole process of involving the public, step by step, is so important to the overall project,” says Grace McGregor, chair of the Stakeholder Advisory Committee. “All of our communities need to be part of this

journey by providing comments, staying informed and being engaged – it is through this process that we will end up with a plan we all support.” “People have already been telling us how important the Kettle River and its tributaries are to their quality of life and communities,” says Graham Watt, project co-ordinator for the Watershed Management Plan. “I’m really impressed with the residents’ level of knowledge and engagement – the health of the river really seems to matter to people here.” In early October the survey will be mailed to all residents and non-resident landowners in the regional district in Areas C, D, and E as well as Grand Forks, Greenwood and Midway.

Anybody with an interest in the Kettle River Watershed may also fill out the survey on-line at http://kettleriver.ca/2012/09/ issues-survey The RDKB asks that you complete and submit surveys by Nov. 16, 2012. The public is also invited to a special meeting called “Rethinking Our Waterways” to explore watershed management challenges and opportunities (in Rock Creek on Oct. 12 from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.). Contact Graham Watt (plan@kettleriver.ca or 250-442-2708) to RSVP by Oct. 5. More information will be available throughout the planning process at http://kettleriver.ca and at the Grand Forks RDKB office (2140 Central Ave).

Digging up bones Part 3 of 3 From the Back Pew ”Just saying”, by the sometimes irreverent Ed Brouwer. No claims of absolute originality are made for this material. As one man said, “I milk a lot of cows, but I churn my own butter.”

How many times have you thought “Well I can forgive them, but I sure won’t forget what they’ve done.” Most of us are experts at exhuming things that’s better left alone. And we are not particular to where and when we dig up bones. We really don’t care if the person who offended us hears us or not. If they are not available to hear our “digging”, we’ll sit alone at home or in some bar telling any and all who will listen….

Better yet we’ll write a song about it. “I can forgive, but I cannot forget” is only another way of saying, “I won’t forgive.” Aren’t you glad to find that God doesn’t “dig up bones”. Aren’t you glad that He’s not going to start “exhuming things” when you mess up? There is a sobering truth in the Lord’s prayer that most folk totally overlook. Read it for yourself in Matthew 6:9-14

“Our Father which is in heaven, Hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come. Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The sobering part is interpreted by Christ Himself in Matthew 6:14 “if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, your Father will not forgive your trespasses.” Your digging up bones only proves your unwillingness to forgive! Why not turn your shovel over to Jesus and be set free?

Greenwood “left out in the cold” Chronicles of Boundary Country from the pages of The Boundary Creek Times Volume 1, No.25 – February 27, 1897

BLASTS FROM THE PAST

➤ The Times was of the opinion that “while the proceedings are going rapidly forward for the incorporation of the towns of Nelson, Rossland and Grand Forks, Greenwood for some unfathomable reason seems to have been left out in the cold. Notice of Application for the incorporation of the City of Greenwood was duly published both in The Times and in the Serving the community since 1936 B.C. Gazette; it is, therefore strange that the matter should now have been allowed to drop without anything being said about it.” ➤ “A discovery of rich ore . . . the values being principally in nickel and cobalt was recently made . . . near St. Pierre Creek, or about 12 miles from Blaine R. Krist Nelson on the Colville Reservation.” Our staff is committed to ➤ “Jack Cockerel, the discoverer your complete satisfaction. of the famous boulder of clean gaWe pride ourselves on the quality of our service, lena ore which was found near the LOWEST PRICE, and our Slocan Star mine and yielded after dedication to the community. treatment nearly $11,000, passed “We Invite You To Compare” through on Monday on his way to 5920 Kootenay Street Keremeos.” Oliver, B.C.

mail service . . . In 1887, there were only 3 claims located on Boundary Creek . . . In 1890, a small two-stamp mill was erected near the Boundary Creek falls by the Spokane & Northern Mining Company. Beyond this, there was little doing in the way of mining. Until the government was contracted for a monthly mail service in 1890, letters were entrusted to the first traveller who happened to be passing. When Mr. James Sutherland ran his stage to Marcus, Washington once a month, he consented to carry letters at the rate of 25 cents each.” ➤ Publisher’s Notice. “For an annual subscription price of $2.00, The Times will be sent to any address in Canada and the United States, post free. If sent to the Old Country, 50 cents must be added.” Advertising rates included the qualifier that “no quack or patent remedy ads will be accepted at any price.” ➤ The Times opined that “Mr. Bostock, M.P., makes the excellent suggestion that British subjects in Cariboo-YaleKootenay should show their loyal appreciation of the fact that Queen Victoria’s reign has been the longest in British history, by presenting Her Majesty with a suitable gift in the shape of a bar of gold from each producing mine in Yale-Cariboo, enclosed in a casket made of silver mined in Kootenay. A casket constructed of cut and polished specimens of quartz, showing the native gold and silver . . . might perhaps be a still more unique manner of carrying out the same idea.” ➤ Greenwood Reading Room. The Times announced that they have opened “a free reading room in the rear of their offices. Among the papers regularly placed on the tables are: Munsey’s Magazine, London Times, Vanity Fair, Vancouver World, Black and White Graphic, Cosmopolitan, Puck, Butte Mining World, Toronto Globe, Kamloops Sentinel and Nelson Tribune.”

Sam Foy (left) and Ronnie Puno race for the ball during a soccer match between West Boundary Elementary and Greenwood Elementary last Wednesday. Both are excellent athletes. Sam played soccer at the BC Summer Games this year, representing the Kootenays.

Fair raises funds for trip Greenwood Elementary School Grade 6/7 hosted a day of shopping opportunities in the school gymnasium on Saturday. The vendor fair featured the chance to get some family portraits taken by Lifetouch Studios, a bake sale and light lunch. If you needed more than a comb before the family portrait Christine Hladych of South Beach Studio in Midway was there to offer her hair styling expertise â€“ with all proceeds donated to Grade 6/7 field trip to VancouverVictoria next June. Another opportunity to support the cause is the Recipes with Class Cookbook. A product of a two-year effort, it is fully indexed and is divided into seven chapters: appetizers and beverages, soups and salads, main dishes, vegetables and side dishes, breads, desserts, and odds and ends. Copies available at the school. Other vendors offering their wares were Silpana Silver distributor from Trail, a Mary Kay consultant from Nelson, Epicure Solutions, Sacred Products featuring crafted items by single moms in Thailand, Beary Good Stuff, It works, Scentsy and Watkins.

Lucas Davies, with the help of Christine Hladych of South Beach Hair Studio, came away from the fair with more hair than he went in with.

Front row (L-R): Levi, Calvin, Robert and JT. Back row, Stephanie, Olivia and Trinity. All were ready to lend a hand during the Vendor Fair at Greenwood Elementary.
