With no settlement between the teachers and the government, parents had to find other options for their children. With renowned negotiator Vince Ready on hand and both sides meeting for long hours, it was hoped a settlement could be made before school started, unfortunately the sides were too far apart. Teacher’s began limited job action last March before escalating to a full-blown walk-out in June, just before final exams. Key issues in the contract dispute are wages, class composition and class size. In a press release on Aug. 30, Peter Fassbender, minister of education, stated, “Today veteran labour mediator Vince Ready “When your child is born and you imagine all their firsts – this is not what I imagined for my child’s first day of Kinderdetermined that the parties are garten,” said Malayna Gross – Grade 2-3 teacher at Midway Elementary School and parent whose son was scheduled too far apart for mediation at to start school on Tuesday.

The Fun Spot

Quote of the Week: There is an evil tendency underlying all our technology - the tendency to do what is reasonable even when it isn’t any good. – Robert Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance Joke of the Week: Out the mouth of babes... A priest was invited to attend a house party. Naturally, he was properly dressed and wearing his Priest’s Collar. A little boy kept staring at him the entire evening. Finally, the priest asked the little boy what he was staring at. The little boy pointed to the priest’s neck. When the priest finally realized what the boy was pointing at, he asked the boy; “Do you know why I am wearing that?” The boy nodded his head yes, and replied, “It kills fleas and ticks for up to three months”.

court and now you are trying to negotiate a clause to get yourself off the hook. What teacher in their right mind would agree to something like that?” Dunnet urges Larson to take action and make her voice heard in the Liberal party. “Strong schools make for a strong society,” he wrote. “Your voice is needed. You must take action. My children deserve to be in school. All children school have that right. You are standing in there way. The time for action is now.” In an interview with the Gazette, Dunnet said he believes in unions and their ability to make people’s lives better. “For me, I feel this is a bigger fight than just what we’re fighting now,” he said. “I think society is moving in a certain direction, I feel we’re trying to hold it back. As least that’s how I see it. Even though I’m frustrated because I’m not working and I’m not getting paid—when I teach I want to give 100 per cent and give it everything—being in that situation where I can’t I feel I’m hurting myself in this action but I feel this is the only action I have to take. I wish there was some other action to take.” Dunnet said he realizes how the strike is making it tough on kids and parents, but he believes the alternate is far worse. “It’s either take this action which seems to hurt everyone especially ourselves, or take no action and let the situation just degrade and degrade,” he said. “I want to be in school and teaching, but I don’t think we can keep giving into this agenda. I feel like we’re holding the line. If they manage to break us and take the schools down with us then I don’t know where it ends.” Dunnet said being a math teacher he is always budget conscious. He and his wife have been able to save money and are making out okay.

“We weren’t able to do renovations in our house this year,” he said. “We went to (swimming) provincials in Kamloops and camped instead of stayed in a hotel. We haven’t had to make any tough decisions yet. If we were out in November we’ll have to make tough decisions.” Dunnet said he does know of some teachers who are struggling with having not been paid during the strike. “I think there’s people at all levels,” he said. “Some have spouses that work. Those that have both spouses teach—it’s tough.” Dunnet added that support has been mostly positive from the community although he feels there is a portion of the public that doesn’t agree. “For every 20 honks and smiles, we get maybe one person saying we should get back to work,” he said. “Most people I talk to they love their kid’s teacher. They’re really happy with what their kids are doing in school but when you get to this broad idea of teachers, suddenly we’re a bad group of people who want too much and are lazy. There’s a disconnect between someone’s teacher and teachers as a whole.”

THE BOUNDARY CREEK

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

An abuse of power In 2012 a special political-activity audit group was created to audit groups who hold charity status. While the government claims it pays no attention to pro-government or anti-government political leanings when it chooses which charities to audit for their political activities, an analysis cited last month by the Canadian Press strongly suggests there is a bias in the selection of which charities get audited because the first wave of agency audits were largely opponents of the Harper government’s energy and pipeline policies. The head of the CRA charities directorate, Cathy Hawara, admits the agency considers any formal complaints from citizens, lobby groups, MPs or even cabinet ministers. According to CP such external complaints were taken seriously enough to have generated some 30 “leads” for further investigation, though the CRA will not provide details. “CRA’s initial focus on environmental groups closely follows inflammatory statements by Conservative cabinet ministers shortly before and after the 2012 federal budget, which announced the new audits,” said the CP article, which goes on to quote Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver saying, “Environmental groups had a “radical agenda,” and statements by Environment Minister Peter Kent that the groups were used to “launder offshore funds.” EthicalOil.org, an energy-sector promoter founded by a Conservative political aide, also formally complained about three of the five environmental groups caught in the first wave of audits — suggesting their letters turned into CRA “leads.” CRA is watching for any group that uses more than 10 per cent of its resources on political activities, or that engages in any kind of partisan activity, such as endorsing a candidate, which is forbidden. But it seems to be watching one side of the political spectrum more than the other. If it is, it is an abuse of power.

Rock Creek to be featured

Ready for school

The Rock Creek Market is an opportunity each Saturday to reconnect with friends over a cup of coffee and share news. The big news this week is that Rock Creek will be featured on Global TV’s Small Town BC feature this weekend. Those with pictures they’d like to share can email them to weekendnews@globaltv.com Vic Boychuk heads up the Rock Creek Market that has been happening through the season since it began in 2008. He says this year is probably the best so far for the market, with a variety of unique vendors offering their goods. The market held a Customer Appreciation Day recently and many shoppers were delighted to be gifted some goodies made by vendors.

Incoming Grade 8 students were given a tour of Boundary Central Senior Secondary last Thursday evening. Students from the senior classes, such as Madison Harpur shown here, helped give them a tour. Bo Macfarlane, taking over as principal at BCSS, made himself available to meet with parents in the Commons while the students were taking the tour.

“Selfless acts by community members like John help keep the library going,” said Midway library director Nicole Ferrier when handed a cash donation by John Coburn.

Pitching in for the library When John and Myrna Coburn moved Coburn’s Bookworld Ltd. from Burnaby to Midway in 2003 they came with more books than the Midway Library had in its’ collection. The online bookselling business operated for a number of years out of the Glenburn Manor Coffee House. But John has now closed the online book business and had to find a way to get rid of the remaining stock. So each Monday he reloads a large table of books that sits on the patio outside the Bored Room Bistro with another couple of hundred books, which people are encouraged to browse. If they find a title they’d like to take home they need only make a donation. All the money do-

nated goes to the Midway Public Library. He started the table in June and was able to hand over an envelope with $400 to library director Nicole Ferrier on Tuesday morning. Each week Coburn goes through the books that weren’t taken and any that explain Canada are given to Earl Lehmann and his Help for Simara Project in the Philippines. All large print books go to Boundary Lodge in Grand Forks. “It is really amazing and appreciated,” said Ferrier in receiving the donation. “It is so kind of you to do that. Thank you very much.” The book table will remain on the patio at the Bored Room Bistro into October.

Bargain books

The RDKB board of directors received a report from Theresa Lenardon, RDKB manager of administration, regarding the 2014-15 Provincial Wood Stove Program. In her report, Lenardon stated that the program is designed to encourage British Columbians to change their older smoky wood stoves for low-emission appliances including new CSA/EPA certified clean-burning wood stoves. Communities benefit from better air quality and individuals benefit from increased efficiency saving money and reducing pollution. The program has been in place since 2008 and has gone really well. “We’re really supportive of the wood stove program,” said Grace McGregor, RDKB board chair. “It has been very successful. Most of the electoral area directors provide a bit more money to go with that incentive from our grant-inaid to encourage people to trade in their stoves which had emissions.” Lenardon recommended that the board approve participation in the 2014-15 Wood Stove Exchange Program and that it be called “The RDKB Wood Stove Exchange Program.” The RDKB would act as the administrator of the program and distribute the grant funds. The program will be
