No firearms, says Owens JAKE BIANIC

Boundary Creek Times Reporter

People are trespassing on his land and discharging firearms, and Guy Owens wants teeth in a village bylaw to help make it stop. Owens made a request to council MIDWAY at Monday night’s regular meeting to update the “No Shooting” bylaw in the village to prevent illegal hunting and other activities. There was, however, an inconsistency with his request where he called for no weapons or firearms but did argue for the lawful use of a bow on lot 16085. This caused debate and brought up another question: what was permitted to be used? The bylaw currently covers only guns, shotguns, air/spring rifles and crossbows. It does not cite bows, allowing people to use a bow in their own backyard (within reason) with no repercussions. Councilors Richard Dunsdon, Gary Schierbeck, and Darrin Metcalf all agreed that there should be a change to the bylaw to exclude bows. Councillor Marguerite Rotvold said it was not fair for council to pass such a motion and that people should not have their right to practice their recreation taken away; that not everyone could travel to gun ranges to do so all the time, and that there hasn’t been an issue with it before. Council disagreed with this motion, and agreed it would be safer if they were included on the bylaw. Council did pass a motion for more signage to be put up, but suggested Owens seek further assistance from RCMP and conservation officers. Council noted that to the northeast of the graveyard is a portion of land where hunting is allowed, but if someone were to shoot a rifle and miss, the bullet could travel into residential property. Two district lots (560 and 2227) to the northeast of the cemetery will be reviewed to be entirely included in the prohibition zone. *** Village council turned down a second request

from The Bridge for a property tax exemption. The Bridge is a charitable organization based out of the old Midway Church. Pastor Rick Steingard fought for the request, saying it would cut their bills and provide more opportunity to help the community. “Why not have LIBRARY community zoning, because it’s a community building and it’s a community outreach going to the community,” he argued. Some council members did not agree with this, saying The Bridge could seek assistance from other churches in the area. Rotvold, and Shierbeck both agreed the organization could seek help from the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) rural director, Phoenix Foundation and the Lions Club. Council voted unanimously to turn down the request. *** Rotvold, as the village’s RDKB representative, reported that Chair Grace McGregor posed the issue of provincial electoral riding boundary hearings. There were to be hearings held Oct. 8 in Trail and Penticton; however, the Village of Midway did not receive any notice of these happening. McGregor requested that all municipalities write letters opposing any changes. Council supported writing a letter opposing electoral riding boundary changes *** After much deliberation, council approved funding for new arena gas detection equipment, as the old sensors were unable to calibrate properly or safely. The new equipment will cost approximately $5,380. Also, roofing for the library was approved and quotes were received on roofing jobs for the community hall and museum. *** Council congratulated Councilor Marguerite Rotvold on being recognized at last month’s UBCM convention for her 25 years of service as a local elected official.

MIDWAY COUNCIL REPORT

For the record In last week’s Times, the Greenwood council article stated that Interior Health Authority had promised Greenwood Mayor Nipper Kettle that they would assist in finding a new doctor. Mayor Kettle phoned as soon as the paper hit the streets to request the following correction. “We have a doctor,” Kettle said. “The reason that we went there was to try and find some equipment that would help the doctor. We have the new doctor, and don’t want people to get the idea that we don’t have a doctor. We already have one. I don’t want to see us losing patients over it.” *** The Oct. 2 print edition article about the Marshalls receiving an award for their woodlot work

stated they have been woodlot licencees for the past two decades. In fact, they have had a woodlot for 29 years. It also stated they raised five children on their woodlot near Midway; that should have read two children. Fred’s three older children were grown up and moved away by the time the Marshalls moved to their Boundary woodlot. *** A member of the Boundary Woodlot Association contacted the Times to request a correction on the West Boundary Community Forest article as well. The article referred to woodlots, but should have more accurately called them woodlands as woodlots are licensed and governed separately from community forests.

Raising expectations Municipal election season is upon us again. It’s more important than ever for people to pay attention. This year those fortunate enough to be elected will serve for four years. That’s a long time to go without the accountability part of the democratic process coming into play. In the 2011 election Greenwood had a very respectable 70 per cent of eligible voters turn out to cast their ballots. The mayor’s race—for the second election running—came within a couple of votes of going either way. That shows how valuable your single vote might be. In Midway just over 50 per cent of eligible votes went into the ballot box. That’s fewer than either the last provincial or federal election. So improvement is possible there. What can be done by the candidates to improve things? Hopefully they will focus on the issues that are important rather than on trying to tear down their opponents. But the blame for negative advertising doesn’t rest solely with the candidates. Negative campaigning works—that’s why it is used so often. Maybe there is some room for improvement on the part of the voter too. If the best reason a candidate can come up with for you to vote for them is that they aren’t their opponent, then maybe it’s time to reconsider putting your mark next to their name. Something we voters can do to improve things is to start expecting better of our politicians. Politician get stereotyped as dishonest liars. People—all people, including politicians—rise to the level of expectation put upon them. So let’s cut the stereotype baloney and start expecting them to put their best effort forward.

Reader campaign under way

Whether it’s a child getting an early start, a young mother looking to upgrade her skills to go back to school, or an individual trying to find a new job, when we make literacy a priority, good things happen: jobs are created, community health improves, poverty is reduced. This October, Black Press and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) are joining forces to raise funds and awareness about the importance of literacy with the 4th Annual Reach a Reader campaign. In the West Boundary the 2014 Reach a Reader campaign will kick off on at 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 9 in front of the Boundary Creek Times office across the street from the Heritage Credit Union in Greenwood. From 11 a.m. until 1:30 p.m., in exchange for a donation you will receive an issue of the Boundary Creek Times. Your donations will go directly to literacy programs in the Boundary delivered through CBAL, a not-for-profit organization formed in 2001 to promote literacy and life-long learning throughout the Columbia Basin and Boundary communities. New this year to the campaign is the opportunity to donate online through the month of October. The money raised online will be matched

dollar-for-dollar by the Bienfaisance Foundation. Visit the reach a Reader main donation page at: chimp.net/campaigns/reach-a-reader. To support community-based literacy programs in your community just click on your community’s Reach a Reader group from the list on the right of the webpage. If you don’t see it listed, enter “Boundary” in the “Search for a friend’s group” search box and a link to Reach a Reader - Grand Forks/Boundary will pop up. That way you can make sure the funds donated locally will stay in the community in which they were raised. CBAL’s vision is that local communities will be healthy, inclusive and committed to literacy and learning as lifelong and life-wide activities.

Check out this week’s West Kootenay Advertiser

ALL CANDIDATES FORUM EVERYONE WELCOME Tuesday, October 212t

at the Midway Community Hall Starting at 6:00 pm

George Longden was in Rock Creek last week to deliver a cheque to the Rock Creek Community Medical Association for new outdoor exercise stations that were put in the park beside the health clinic during the summer.

All candidates please email James info@boundarychamber.com that you are planning to attend.

Exercise stations set up Terry Keough said it was a lot of work, perhaps more than some of the principle volunteers were expecting, but thanks to the Phoenix Foundation, the Boundary Theatre Group and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, the Rock Creek Health Centre Park now boasts four outdoor exercise stations. He said the medical society kicked in the rest of the money that was needed and that every dollar, aside from the purchase of the equipment itself, went to local contractors. Lumber came from Freeman’s; the labour crew was donated; many including Cannon Excavating made inkind donations. Greg MacDonald donated his time and tractor to pound the posts, Kelly Harpur and Mark Szabo put the fence up. “Hats off to everyone else who came out to the final work bee to finish it off,” said Keough, who serves as the current president of the Rock Creek Community Medical Society. He explained that while the exercise equipment is geared for a somewhat aging population, there are different levels so kids can use it too. The park has a pushup/reverse pushup station, a core station, curved balance beam and parallel bars. Each station is weatherproof and includes signage to help get the most out of the new

equipment. George Longden, chair of the Phoenix Foundation of the Boundary Communities grants committee, was on hand with a cheque for $2,795. “A lot of people feel that the Phoenix Foundation only represents Grand Forks, but I am very pleased to tell you that the Phoenix Foundation represents all of the Boundary, all the way from Bridesville to Christina Lake.” Longden said the foundation actually had money allocated from their seniors endowment that didn’t get spent because they didn’t have anybody who had applied. “One of my messages to you today is that if you are planning to do something that will benefit seniors for the future, please keep us in mind,” Longden said. He said the foundation is planning to present a grant-writing workshop, probably in December. The foundation anticipates giving away $50,000 next year, he added. They were able to help Boundary communities with $46,000 in 2014. As well as the exercise equipment in Rock Creek, the Phoenix Foundation also helped fund the Midway and Beyond Little Theatre group this year.

Does Starting a Home-based Business Make Sense for Me? Like any other kind of work, self-employment has its pros and cons. Self-employed individuals usually have more control over their time, and greater flexibility and autonomy than their employed counterparts. It does, however, require the self-employed person to have the ability to plan, organize and carry out the work of the business without supervision or directives. As such, it necessitates that the individual possesses a considerable amount of self-direction, motivation, and discipline. Deciding to become self-employed means losing some of the “perks” inherent in employment contracts, such as statutory rights and social safety net measures. As such, the self-employed individual accepts a measure of insecurity insomuch that these “perks” are no longer available to the self-employed individual. Consider certain lost perks such as a minimum of 2 weeks’ paid vacation each year, or the 10 paid statutory holidays. Employed persons are also entitled to certain protection in the event of unemployment, such as Employment Insurance benefits for a period of time. These benefits may not be as readily available to the self-employed individual. One must also consider the infrastructure and support required by a business that is often

overlooked, initially, by the self-employed. Most small business owners soon realize that they are responsible for every aspect of running the business; from ordering supplies; to sending out invoices; to arranging for computer repairs. Where additional administrative, accounting and/or computer technical support is needed, the business owner will need to procure these arrangements in addition to paying for them out of income generated by the business. Finally, there are some other costs which the new business owner will have to take on for the first time. All employed and self-employed Canadians contribute to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). While employees make their own contribution, through payroll deduction, the employer is required (by law) to make an equivalent contribution on behalf of the employee. When a person chooses to become self-employed, the amount of required CPP contributions will effectively double, as he or she will be required to pay both the employer and employee portions on his/her personal tax return filing. And of course, any extended health or insurance benefits which would normally be available through an employer will now have to be contracted for (and paid for) by the self-employed individual.

Please visit our blog at www.rhncga.com/snapblog for the continuation of this article, including a list of applicable tax deductions and other related costs to consider when deciding if a home-based business makes sense for you.

Talent search begins After seven months of grant writing, seeking donations, ordering and setting up basic (but essential) theatrical equipment, the Midway and Beyond Little Theatre Group is planning an inaugural community meeting on Thursday, Oct. 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the Midway Community Hall. Theatre project coordinator John Hibberson hopes to discover all those people, both young and old, in the Kettle Valley area who are interested in being part of this new and exciting theatrical adventure. “We need not only actors and actresses but all the many crew people who work behind the scenes to make wonderful productions happen,” Hibberson said in a newsletter he sent out last week.

UBC makes pitch

UBC student recruiter-advisor Anthony Dodds was at BCSS last week helping students chart their academic course. Dodds came to BCSS on Sept. 30 to meet with all interested Grade 11 and 12 students to talk options for their postsecondary academic journey. Dodds is based at the Okanagan Campus but represented the Vancouver Campus as well. The students were given a quick overview of the university, the application process and the Undergraduate Viewbook, which contains answers to many questions. He said UBC is consistently ranked amoung the top 40 degree granting institutions in the world. Other post secondary recruiters will be at BCSS on the afternoon on Friday, Oct. 17 to meet with students and parents.

Set and props, costumes and makeup all have tasks waiting to be assigned. Perhaps you are a lighting or sound techie? Possibly you wish to be a stagehand or learn how to be a stage manager? There are people working on promotion, selling tickets or writing programs. “Theatre is definitely like an iceberg,” Hibberson said. “What you see on stage is only its tip. Behind the curtain is as important as what’s out in front of it. Theatre is teamwork!” A major topic of discussion at the Oct. 9 meeting will be the opening production by the company. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 21 and 22 the curtain will go up on All That Glisters, a radio play based on the famous Camp McKinney gold bar robbery of 1896. It tells the tale of the robbery and its aftermath, the murder of Matthew Roderick, the robber, by mine superintendent Joe Keane. The cast consists of 10 men and one woman. In late March or April 2015 Midway and Beyond will present their first major show. The play, Wild Oats, is a spoof of the Old West. This show will run from Thursday to Saturday each week for two weeks and has a big cast with both large and small roles available. “If you’ve never acted before but want to dip your toe into theatre this is a good chance for you,” Hibberson said. The name of the new theatre group is Midway and Beyond Little Theatre, he noted. “The idea is to convince people from BEYOND the borders of our nice little town to join in,” he said. “I know there are people in Sidley, Bridesville, Rock Creek, Westbridge, Greenwood and maybe even from distant Beaverdell, who may want to join up with our cause. Please do! At least come to our first meeting and have a listen. “I taught theatre in our local high school for a long time and have worked with a lot of amazing young people, I know that a few of you are still out there living nearby. Not so young anymore, sure, but maybe it’s time for you to have another kick at the can. We don’t want to make this a group for a whole bunch of old people like me. No sirree! We need your talents, your vitality, and your sense of fun. Think about it.”

Fire Prevention Week is October 5 to 11, 2014 The Fire Prevention Week 2014 theme, “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!” focuses on providing you, your family, and community with the knowledge necessary to test your smoke alarms, identify potential fire risks in and around your home, and be prepared if a fire or other emergency should occur. The history of National Fire Prevention Week has it roots in the great Chicago Fire that occurred on October 8, 1871, and killed some 300 people, left 100,000 homeless and destroyed more than 17,000 structures. The popular story is that a cow knocked over an oil lamp in the O’Leary barn. Although the fire is still undetermined, and it has been established that the O’Leary’s were asleep at the time the fire started, the massive fire swiftly took its toll, burning more than 2000 acres in 27 hours. In Canada, the first national Fire Prevention Day proclamation was issued by the Governor-General in 1919. From the beginning, it was apparent that a united effort between Canada and the U.S.A. would give the work greater impetus. To this end fire prevention organizations in both countries have always supported a common date at federal, state, provincial, and municipal levels. Fire Prevention week falls in the week that includes October 9. British Columbia, Alberta, Northwest Territories, Saskatchewan and Yukon fire departments coordinate efforts to reach children in Grades 1 to 3 during Fire Prevention Week in order to deliver consistent, accurate fire safety messages with information on preventing fires, knowing what to do in case of a fire, smoke alarms and developing home escape plans. Each year the message is tailored to follow the NFPA theme with activity booklets, lesson plans for teachers, fire safety messages to take home and a contest where one child from each region can win an iPad.

Canada’s Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners aim to recruit up to 100,000 kids in unique fire safety program The Council of Canadian Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners together with the Office of the Fire Commissioner, British Columbia have announced a major initiative tackling youth fire safety nation-wide. The British Columbia Fire Commissioner’s Office is among 11 provinces and territories who are working together to arm teachers with unique lesson plans that encourage every Canadian household to test and replace their smoke alarms during the 92nd annual Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 5 to 11. The Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners expect to engage thousands of primary-school teachers across Canada who will teach special lessons to upwards of 100,000 students as part of a broad scope of Fire Prevention Week activities under its North American-wide theme “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!” Lesson plans, distributed by The Council of Canadian Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners through Scholastic Canada, will be supported by the local efforts of fire departments and the campaign’s educational website safeathome.ca. Gordon Anderson, Fire Commissioner, Province of British Columbia, says, “We’re thrilled to have the fire departments from all across BC involved. Fire Departments and teachers have long had a special partnership that leaves a lasting impression on students, one that can prevent tragedies years down the road.” Duane McKay, president, Council of Canadian Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners (CCFMFC) says, “Fire safety programs that focus on our youth have a two-prong benefit. The lessons deliver the fire safety fundamentals that youngsters need to know to safely escape a burning home, and, the kids help motivate Moms and Dads to make smoke alarm maintenance and replacement a higher priority. “ ‘The potential benefits of a successful national outreach are enormous,” McKay adds. “In over one-half of fatal fires, investigators typically find no working smoke alarms.” Parents should watch for “Test and Replace” homework pages which include a home fire escape planning sheet and a safety checklist. Once completed, parents and youngsters can go online at safeathome.ca/testandreplace to register their home and download a certificate of completion for the child to take back to class. The complete homework kit is also available for download. Safeathome.ca also provides helpful tips for testing and maintaining smoke alarms, when to replace alarms, and where to install them. More campaign details are available at www.safeathome.ca/testandreplace. The initiative continues throughout the month of October

One can never appreciate the significant importance of having a local fire department until tragedy strikes. These brave men and women within Greenwood, Midway, Rock Creek, Sidley Mountain, Beaverdell and Big White volunteer their time and dedicate many hours to training and fire practices to ensure they are ready in the event of a fire. The generosity and devotion they demonstrate is unsurpassed.

On behalf of the residents of the West Boundary and myself – Thank You! Bill Baird Director West Boundary Electoral Area
