Shouts of “Call the meeting to order!” were hurled at retreating board members at the Rock Creek and Boundary District Fall Fair meeting last week (Nov. 21). The meeting was barely 10 minutes along when the nine board members got up and left the meeting table. At issue was the fact that President Randy Moat had yet to call the meeting to order. Instead he had begun the meeting by saying, “Before we begin I’d like the secretary to read some material.” Secretary Sue Hayes then read section 1(d) from the 1993 fair bylaws – Loss of Membership and correspondence between the association and Bill Bosovich, Art Harfman and Pierre Sinclaire. On Nov. 7 the board stripped the three of their status as members after they had declined an invitation to appear before the board, stating their position that, “any decision reached or motion passed, at a director’s meeting, in-camera or otherwise, is invalid as all voting members did not receive notice of the meeting and therefore did not have the right to exercise their vote on the matter.” Sinclaire later told the Boundary Creek Times that the three were never told what the specific charges against them were. “I don’t know what their claims are. You can’t go to court without knowing why you are going to court,” he told the Boundary Creek Times. Moat also told The Times, in a separate interview, the reasons were not made public due to privacy concerns; however, “the information would be released to the former members upon their request.”

After Hayes read the registered letter sent to Harfman, Bosovich and Sinclaire telling them they had been removed as members for one year, Moat began to comment further but was interrupted when Tom Haines asked if the meeting was going to be called to order. “As soon as I am finished here,” Moat told him. “This portion is for information for those folks that came here tonight.” When Haines continued to press for the meeting to be officially opened Moat said, “If the rest

of you feel the same way and we’re just up here to receive this type of treatment then we won’t have to stay here the rest of the night.” Things soon degenerated into a shouting match, with the nine board members getting up and leaving. Most left the room – the only current board members seen to have stayed on through the evening were Dale Pownall, Nalleen Barchuk and Scott Petrie. Board member Liz Everson was not present.
