More than 100 residents gathered Monday evening at the Midway Resiliency Centre housed in the village’s community hall to hear an update on the Rock Creek fire from BC Wildfire lead coordinator Glen Burgess.

The Rock Creek fire is now 75 per cent contained; however, the Boundary region, as well as much of the South Okanagan and even the Fraser Valley, remains blanketed by smoke from several large wildfires south of the border. The smoke is not only making life difficult for many local residents, it is also hampering the continued firefighting efforts along the southern corridor of Hwy 33, making aerial surveillance and water bombing impossible.

BC Wildfire Service coordinator Glen Burgess, while referring to the fire as “well-behaved,” is certainly looking forward to the smoke clearing, which will enable airborne firefighting tactics to resume. While having helicopters grounded saves B.C. taxpayers $6,000 per hour, a resumption of water bombing will almost certainly bring a quicker end to the fire danger that still exists.

To the south, the group of wildfires burning in central and northeastern Washington is now the largest in state history, a fire official said Monday.

The so-called Okanogan Complex of five wildfires now covers 103,829 hectares (256,567 acres).

Rick Isaacson, a spokesman for crews battling the blazes statewide, said the complex measured just over 103,600 hectares (400 square miles), slightly more than the 2014 Carlton fires. The fires grew by more than 6,734 hectares (26 square miles) last Sunday and were expected to spread even more in coming days.

Further east, another fire known as the Stickpin fire is just kilometres south of the Canadian border and is threatening Grand Forks and Christina Lake. At this point, however, there have been no evacuation alerts issued. Isaacson said the Washington fires could burn for several more months.

About 1,250 firefighters are currently battling the fires, which are just 10 per cent contained and are threatening over 5,000 homes. The firefighters included about 700 Washington National Guardsmen.

The Paulson Summit fire, 15 kilometres northeast of Christina Lake, is in a mop-up stage and currently 80 per cent contained, while the Lynch Creek fire, 25 kilometres north of Grand Forks, is only 10 per cent contained though not threatening any structures or communities.

It has consumed 250 hectares to date.

THE BOUNDARY CREEK

Boundary Creek Times Staff

The Rock Creek and Boundary Fair Association has announced that the Rock Creek Fall Fair is on schedule for September 19 and 20. “The fairgrounds have been untouched by the Rock Creek wildfire”, said a spokesperson, “and, while our hearts and hands are with our friends and neighbours during this difficult time, we are still working away to bring about another ‘best ever’ fall fair.”

The scheduled line up of entertainment and activities has not changed, and the fair will again act as a yearly reminder to locals and visitors what a great area the Boundary is, particularly at this very emotional time.

Fair organizers have received many calls from people looking to donate towards the relief effort in the community; the RCBFA is in contact with local service organizations and once a fund has been established, the information will be posted on the fair website (rockcreekfallfair.ca).

“We deeply appreciate the goodwill of our friends, family and complete strangers at this time of great trauma,” the spokesperson added. “We owe a huge thank you to all the emergency responders and services support crews and volunteers that have, and still are, working to help us stabilize and recover.”

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION

Quote of the Week: In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.

– Robert Frost (1874 - 1963) Joke of the Week:

The racehorse owner was annoyed with the running of his horse at the race. He turned on the jockey.

“Flaherty, could you not have raced faster?” “Sure I could have, but you know we are supposed to stay on the horse.”

THE BOUNDARY CREEK

A DIVISION OF BLACK PRESS LTD. Mailing address: Box 99, Greenwood, B.C. V0H 1J0 Street address: 263 South Copper Street, Greenwood, B.C.

Help is here The humanitarian response to the Rock Creek wildfire has, once again, clearly illustrated how important the agencies that provide disaster relief have become.

Without the likes of the Red Cross, Samaritan’s Purse and the Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS), all of which are in operation at Midway’s Resiliency Centre, it is difficult to imagine how victims would survive after a disaster strikes. Volunteers from across the nation and globally are mobilized within hours, bringing critical supplies and support to those impacted by fire and other disasters.

The Red Cross was founded to protect human life and health. It is by far the most recognizable of the relief agencies, the bold and simple red cross always highly visible in areas of strife around the world, pumping millions of dollars of aid annually into disaster relief.

The Canadian Red Cross has nearly a half billion dollars in assets; a remarkable figure when you consider it all began with donations. Wise investments, in addition to ongoing donations, have left the organization ready and able to assist wherever and whenever needed, and their presence at the site of Boundary’s own disaster has been extremely important.

Samaritan’s Purse was founded in 1970 by American evangelist Franklin Graham, son of renowned spiritualist Billy Graham, and Baptist minister Robert Pierce.

The organization provides aid to people in physical need as a key part of Christian missionary work. With assets of $300 million, Samaritan’s Purse is among the largest relief agencies on the planet.

Their role in this relief/recovery effort will be to assist those residents who lost homes to the fire by sifting through burnt remains, clearing their property of debris and preparing concrete slabs for the commencement of new home construction.

Another agency in attendance in Midway is the Mennonite Disaster Service, whose slogan is “Responding, Rebuilding, Restoring.” While not as large as the Red Cross or Samaritan’s Purse, the MDS has been in existence for more than 60 years, and has 1200 active volunteers.

This disaster has been just that, yet Boundary residents have found solace in the fact that there is much help available out there, and it is here now.

Friday Night Bingo

Information officer needed on fires Editor, The Times:

The recent and ongoing Rock Creek fire clearly illustrates the need for a public information/liaison officer on large fires throughout B.C., especially those located in urban/interface areas such as Rock Creek.

There have been far too many rumours (many completely incorrect) and lack of current, relevant information available to the local people related to the Rock Creek fire. This has caused undue stress and high anxiety levels among the local residents and those associated with them; a situation that is completely unnecessary.

In the U.S., the United States Forest Service has formal public information and fire liaison-officer positions filled by well-informed professionals who have extensive experience with fires and fire behaviour and who have good public relations skills.

These people are assigned to par-

ticular fires and their role is to keep all relevant parties, especially local people and, perhaps more importantly, the media, well and properly informed of the relevant aspects of the fire.

It is very important to the local people to know where the fire is, what areas are most threatened, who has received what evacuation advice i.e. alert or evacuate and/or how they can help. Local people are often the best people to help out as many have excellent experience, the required firefighting equipment and, most importantly, they have good knowledge of the local people and access routes, etc.

They also are on site and can work without delay and in these situations time is certainly of the essence.

These knowledgeable locals must not be deterred, and turned away by RCMP, flag-people and others but must be included as valuable assets in structural defense, building of fireguards etc.

We therefore request that the MFLNRO create such positions to better serve the people of B.C. Forecasts are for more frequent and larger fires so the need for

such positions will be even more necessary in the future. Building on and developing similar positions for B.C. would therefore be very appropriate and much appreciated.

It is extremely disconcerting when fire-related information is received from some ministry spokesperson(s) who is/ are located in Castlegar or Victoria or some other location far-removed from the local area. They often have little to no knowledge of the area but are passing on what others have told them and, often by necessity, give generalized or somewhat misleading information. This not conducive to effective communications.

Similarly, when the media broadcast or print information received from some emotionally upset person who has good intentions, but only perceived knowledge of the situation and conveys this as factual when it is not, creates additional and undue stress among the local people and their friends and relatives. This can and should be corrected.

Fred Marshall, Greenwood

City sends out letter ANDREW TRIPP

Boundary Creek Times Reporter

The City of Greenwood, in a recent letter to residents, outlined its concerns regarding the sale of the city’s prized municipal water, which won a gold medal in 2012 at the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Competition.

The letter stated, “The mayor and council would like everyone to know that it is not now, and it will not be our policy to be dragged into Internet battles and that we will continue to operate in an open, honest and transparent fashion. We would like to take this opportunity to explain the system and, hopefully, avoid future confusion.”

In response to recent, largely negative social media posts, the letter went on to describe the Internet, while certainly one of the “greatest inventions of all time” as having a darker side, which “can be used as a tool to put forward mistruths, it can use half quotes out of context, and it can contain outright distortions.”

Instead, the city will continue to use council meetings, minutes of those meetings and the posting of official notifications as its means of communication with residents. Council’s goal, as noted in the letter, is “openness, honesty and transparency.”

As for the issue of selling Greenwood’s water, council stated it “needs more research into the viability of a

long-term water deal and that any deal has to be fully and openly discussed with the main stakeholders-the citizens of Greenwood.”

Council also noted that the city was in the process of applying for a grant to upgrade its wastewater disposal system in order to bring the system up to current standards, and said it needed “to know the toll a large scale venture will put on the supply and on the current infrastructure. We also need an accurate assessment of future requirements.”

With level 4 drought conditions in the region, the provincial government has warned that rivers and aquifer levels in the Kettle-Granby watershed will be impacted. “We must see what effect, if any, this has on our aquifer,” council said.

“We cannot let the temptation of instant gain overshadow the advantage of long term financial return. In the past our community has accrued a significant expense attempting to obtain a water deal. The city needs to be proactive and plan for the long-term viability of our water. Resources are not infinite.”

Scouts step in to help fire victims

Westbridge-based KVR Cycle Tours Company lost its headquarters to the Rock Creek fire on Aug. 13, but has found a degree of encouragement from an unexpected source.

Owners Paula Sheridan and Swade Finch were scheduled to entertain a group of Scouts from Alberta this week, escorting them along the Kettle Valley Trail for a cycling experience of a lifetime.

Upon hearing about Sheridan and Finch’s loss of 4.5 acres and their home in Westbridge, the Scouts decided to make the trip west anyway, but forego part of the cycling tour for an opportunity to do their part in helping victims of the fire.

“They cleared our property of debris,” Sheridan said, “and we have put them in touch with Samaritan’s Purse, whose contact

details were provided by the Red Cross when we registered at the evacuation centre in Midway after the fire. They are sacrificing another day of riding tomorrow to help however they can.”

Sh e r i dan said that besides the physical help

the scouts provided, they also gave she and Finch a much needed boost of spirit, which they hope will

help them establish a new start in Westbridge.

“We want to keep cyclists out there riding on our

A7

beautiful KVR trail”, Sheridan said, “which hopefully will be open again next season, if not before.”

Live your dream

Common-law relationships, finance and the law …

Understanding your rights is an important part of your overall financial plan.

COMMON-LAW RELATIONSHIPS have become an increasingly

popular choice for Canadians who want to share their lives together. In fact, according to Statistic Canada, the number of couples choosing to live common-law rose almost 14 per cent from 2006 to 2011 (close to three per cent more than the increase in married couples over the same time period).1

As more couples opt for common-law arrangements, there is a growing need to understand each partner’s rights as an important aspect of successful financial planning. Note that legislation related to family law differs from one province or territory to another; for example, in some provinces common-law spouses can share property rights and in others they cannot. It’s a good idea to seek legal advice regarding your rights if you and your spouse decide to live common-law.

Here are some measures that partners can take to help define their financial rights in a common-law relationship.

SIGN A COHABITATION AGREEMENT. A cohabitation agreement

can be used to give common-law couples the same rights as married couples. It is a legal document that outlines details such as how your property right will be shared, how debt will be addressed, and whether or not assets will be equally divided. The benefit of a documented agreement is that it helps ensure you are both on the same page when it comes to your finances. It should be in writing and signed by both spouses.

your assets distributed and can also deal with your debt when you pass away.

It is important that your will and your cohabitation agreement do not conflict with one another to avoid potential litigation.

REVIEW BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS. When making a will or

creating a cohabitation agreement, it’s also a good time to review any current beneficiary designations you have in place. Confirm that your beneficiary designations for life insurance policies, TFSAs, RRSPs, and other investments (where permitted) are consistent with legal obligations set out in the cohabitation agreement and your will.

GETTING STARTED. The process is complicated, but there are professionals that can help ensure you have a proper plan in place. A lawyer who specialized in family law can provide you with advice to ensure your rights are protected.

At the same time, you may also wish to speak to an estate lawyer to help with your overall estate planning strategy. These professionals can work with your advisor to best address your particular situation.

CREATE A WILL. A will is another key component to your overall financial plan. A will is a written document that stipulates how you’d like www12.statcan.ca/census-recensement/201/as-sa/98-312-x/98-312-x2011001-eng.cfm.

FireSmart provides expert advice With recent catastrophic fire events comes the sober realization that most of us need to become more diligent about protecting our homes and properties from wildfires. The program known as FireSmart provides expert advice on how to make our houses and land secure in the event of fire by taking some fairly simple steps.

These steps are easily-executed and economical which anyone can take to create a FireSmart home, community or business site.

Having a mowed and watered lawn surrounding your residence can be useful in helping stem the spread of a grass fire, as can minimizing the supply of fuel for a wildfire by ensuring that the “priority zone” (within 10 metres) surrounding your house is cleared of any shrubs, trees, deadfall or woodpiles.

Certainly, with water restrictions now the norm in B.C.’s increasingly hot, dry summers, maintaining a nice green lawn is virtually impossible for many.

However, those that can spare the water, including most rural property owners, are advised to dedicate some to their lawn, as it can prove the first barrier of resistance to a wild fire.

From 10 to 30 metres out from one’s home is the second priority zone. In this zone, it is necessary to reduce fuels by thinning and pruning so that combustion cannot be supported.

If a homeowner insists on having a treed property, they should ensure that trees are thinned to a point where they are three to six metres apart at the crowns, and that all branch-

es are trimmed to a height of at least two metres. It is also recommended that evergreen trees are either removed or their numbers minimized. Evergreens such as pine and spruce are considerably more combustible than deciduous trees.

Trees such as aspen, poplar and birch, in fact, all have very low flammability rates.

The third priority zone begins 30 metres from any structure and extends to a distance of 100 metres and beyond. The recommendation for this zone is not to remove all combustible fuels from the forest, but to thin the area so that fires will be of low intensity and more easily extinguished. The thinning or reduction of shrubs and trees that make up the under story, combined with the retention of fire resistant deciduous trees, can reduce the potential for a crowning fire. Once a fire reaches a forest’s canopy it becomes virtually unstoppable.

The FireSmart program has its origins in Alberta, where, in 1993, an organization known as Partners in Protection (PIP) was awarded official status after it was incorporated in Alberta on February 8, 1993 under the Societies Act of the Province of Alberta. Partners in Protection was formed in Alberta in 1991 to address general issues concerning interface wildfires, which are those fires that threaten both wild lands and human development areas. Since then PIP grown the FireSmart brand into FireSmart Canada, with the program being supported by membership across the country.

In the South Okanagan/ Boundary region, only the com-

munity of Anarchist Mountain is FireSmart certified, which, according local FireSmart Committee chairman Denis Thompson, cost the residents nothing but “the sweat off their backs” to make the community much more capable of surviving a wildfire.

Local fire expert Darren Hutchinson, who took part in the Anarchist Mountain program initiation as a fire education advisor, said that most of the communities affected by the Rock Creek fire had shown interest in the FireSmart initiative prior to the blaze, but none had been able to organize enough residents to get the process on track. Consequently, no training in fire safety and prevention was provided.

Hutchinson, owner of Bridesville-based Quintech Fire Services, which provides training and consultation as well as firefighting, feels strongly that both communities and individuals can do a lot to protect their lives and properties during a wildfire and should be more proactive in doing so.

“This is the only natural disaster whose outcome we can alter, through education, training and a cooperative approach” said Hutchinson, “and it is irresponsible of government not to play a much larger role in helping implement FireSmart standards throughout the province and facilitate a positive change.”

Hutchinson also voiced his concern that little appears to have changed since the catastrophic fire season of 2003, which saw the destruction of hundreds of homes.

“Very, very sad,” Hutchinson lamented.

The Horse Association of Central Kootenay hosted the Hot August Hooves Show Aug. 14 - 16 at the Trail Horseman’s Grounds.

It was a wonderful weekend of riding and fun, despite setbacks.

Many competitors’ homes were under the threat of fire, which made for a stressful and emotional time.

The judge came from Riverside, Wash. and did a fantastic job.

The weekend started Friday with dressage. Fifty-six tests were ridden, both English and Western.

The associationa added something new to our program this year.

TREC, which is a trail course with different kind of obstacles you would find if you were out in the mountains, was run and judged

by Jocelyn Templeman, and was so much fun. Nineteen horses and riders went through the challenging course.

Saturday was English Day, and Sunday was Western Day, along with some halter and in hand classes. The weather was amazing, although very smoky on Saturday, and a tad hot Sunday.

First Habitat mortgage paid BOB HUFF Submitted

It is always a cause for a celebration when homeowners pay off their mortgage. Linda and Andy McLeod, of Grand Forks, have become the first partner family of Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC (HFHSEBC) to pay off their mortgage.

The McLeods bought their Habitat for Humanity (HFH) home in 1999 and now 16 years later are mortgage free. At a ceremony held at their home on Aug. 1, the McLeods hosted current Habitat board members to celebrate this achievement.

Habitat’s mission is to build decent, affordable housing and promote home ownership for low income families that may not qualify for traditional mortgages. HFH is a leader in creating transformational change for families where the philosophy is: affordable housing should be a basic human right available to all.

The two largest barriers for most families to become homeowners are the ability to save for a down payment and having affordable monthly mortgage payments.

The down payment requirement is resolved by families contributing 500 “sweat equity” hours into the building of their home. Partner families purchase the home with a no interest mortgage where HFH caps the mortgage payments at 25 per cent of the family income.

Eleanor Martens, the chair for

HFHSEBC, “What makes our approach unique is that we remove the barriers to owning a home.”

At the ceremony at their home, Linda and Andy McLeod commented on the many people who had a hand in building their home. “We want to thank everyone who helped build our home

and make the dream of having a new home a reality.”

For more information on Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC, contact Bob Huff, executive director at: 250-4422722 or by email at bob.huff@hfhsebc. org.

A resident of Hulme Creek overlooks the damage below his property. Surprisingly, only one property was destroyed in that area directly above Rock Creek.

The first busload of Kettle River Provincial Park evacuees prepares to return to the site to reclaim belongings and vehicles. Most campers found their possessions intact, despite initial reports that the park had been completely razed.
