Mayor rebuts social media comments ANDREW TRIPP

The BCSS Roadrunners tangled with the Southern Okanagan Secondary School Hornets this week. It was a spirited and physical affair, with the Hornets coming out on top.

“The first year in office as mayor required some difficult decisions to be made. There were things that happened that we had little or no control over and we dealt with them the best we could. Having said this, we accomplished a lot in 2015, and although we are still playing catch up from prior years, our focus will be on the year ahead.”

So began the statement read by mayor Ed Smith at the Jan. 11 Greenwood City Council meeting, which saw a full gallery in attendance.

When contacted by the Times, the mayor would not elaborate further on his written report.

In his report, the mayor said, “I would like to comment on some troubling comments that were brought to my attention on Facebook. Facebook is something that I normally don’t do.

“A former council member insists on bringing to light: The carriage house (behind city hall), renovations in city hall, heating system, smoke stack, boccie pits, and on and on.

“To start with the carriage house, was not a carriage house, but a building brought over on skids and two at-

Six people including one Beaverdell man were arrested after police swarmed a Beaverdell property.

“In early December 2015, Kelowna RCMP Prolific Offender Suppression Team (POST) initiated a project on 290 Beaverdell Station Road, Beaverdell, B.C.,” said Kelowna RCMP Cpl. Joe Duncan in a writ-

ten statement. “The project targeted several men known to police.”

Last week, Jan. 14 and 15, Kelowna RCMP Street Enforcement Unit (SEU) executed search warrants at that same address. Four Kelowna men, one Kelowna woman and one Beaverdell man were arrested without incident, Duncan confirmed.

“Investigators located, seized

and towed several stolen items including an excavator (from Surrey), a dump truck (from Surrey), a travel trailer (from Kelowna) and a Black Dodge pickup truck (from Kelowna),” Duncan said. “A flat deck trailer and Kubota have also been seized for further investigation.”

Current estimated value of the stolen property recovered is in ac-

CROSSWORD

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION

Quote of the Week: The absence of alternatives clears the mind marvelously.

– Henry Kissinger (1923 - ) Joke of the Week: A hound dog lays in the yard and an old man in overalls sits on the porch. “Excuse me, sir, but does your dog bite?” a jogger asks. The old man looks over his newspaper and replies, “Nope.” As soon as the jogger enters the yard, the dog begins snarling and growling, and then attacks the jogger’s legs. As the jogger flails around in the yard, he yells, “I thought you said your dog didn’t bite!” The old man mutters, “Ain’t my dog.”

“Is God Enough?”

Life isn’t always comfortable… your boots should be!

Laddering investments: a secure but flexible strategy In most regions across Canada, you’re guaranteed some bone-chilling cold in January and February. Another sure thing during these months, which coincide with RRSP campaigns, is that you’ll be facing a sea of financial advice delivered on TV and the radio, in newspapers and magazines, and through e-mail messages.

Your challenge will be to wade into these sometimes-uncertain waters and make the right investment decisions to suit your specific financial needs.

Investing in guaranteed investment certificates (GICs) using the laddering strategy could be a comfortable choice in your overall financial strategy. You’ll know that your investment is earning a secure rate of return. And by laddering your investments, you can put your money away for the short term to gain flexibility, as well as for the long term to get better interest rates.

Laddering works like this: you choose the amount of money you want to invest.

Divide this initial amount into five smaller guaranteed investments. Then pick different terms and maturity dates for each of these smaller investments.

Here’s an example: • Your initial investment is $10,000.

• Divide this amount into five separate investments of $2,000 each.

• Invest $2,000 each into a one-year, two-year, three-year, four-year and five-year term.

• When your first investment matures after one year, you reinvest that $2,000, plus the interest you’ve earned, in a five-year term investment.

• Each year, one of your investments will mature. You would then reinvest in a five-year term, possibly benefiting from a higher interest rate and continuing the laddering process.

Laddering your investments can benefit you by: • Minimize interest rate risk: By investing in regular intervals, you can reduce your investment risk. Only a portion of your portfolio comes due at any one time. This strategy can limit your exposure to possible fluctuating interest rates.

• Maximize the long-term rate of return: If you convert your maturities to five-year terms, you can take advantage of the possibility of higher interest rates. Longer-term investments typically offer better interest rates than shortterm investments.

• Comfort of guaranteed returns: You’re secure with the knowledge that your investments will grow at a constant interest rate, with a guaranteed return at the end of the term.

Laddering your investments will give you the flexibility to respond to investment opportunities and financial needs: • Ability to respond to interest rate changes: You’ll have access to 20 per cent of your investments every year. If the interest rates are higher, you can invest in longer-term investments. If interest rates drop or temporarily flatten out, you can minimize your risk because only 20 per cent of your investments are maturing at any one time.

• Increased availability: Each year a part of your investment matures and you’ll be able to spend it if that’s what you need to do. You also have the opportunity to make new investment decisions.

• Ability to choose the maturity dates: You can have specified investments mature when you need money for a large purchase or special occasion, for example college or wedding expenses.

Your advisor can help you to decide if this strategy matches your long-term and retirement objectives. Using your advisor’s knowledge and experience, you’ll be better able to sort through the many investment options available and identify how long you want to invest, and what level of risk you’re prepared to take: low, medium, or high.

Deciding where to put your money each year is one of the most important financial decisions you make. Talk to your advisor about getting help to build your portfolio around a sound financial strategy that includes your personal investment style, objectives, and risk tolerance. You may even experience a warm and cozy feeling knowing that the storms of uncertainty won’t affect your guaranteed investments.

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.

Time will tell The new B.C. school curriculum, already in a trial phase with some teachers and set to officially launch across the province in September, is, perhaps, one of the boldest education-related moves made by the Ministry of Education in recent memory. The new curriculum, designed to allow teachers and students more flexibility in delivery and design of education, is the ministry’s response to a changing world; a society and its future that is being largely reshaped by technology and innovation.

The traditional methodology of “read, ingest and regurgitate” is being replaced by a more “project-based learning” approach to education, with a goal of providing students with more real-world experiences as they follow their own personalized goals and passions.

For instance, instead of being suffocated with algebra and other mathematical platforms, students might engage in more tactile pursuits as a hands-on way of learning math; students in one central B.C. school are engaged in First Nations projects, building small wooden structures and furniture, using measurements to devise formulas and methods of assembly. This project provides students an environment in which to build the basic skills to one day build houses and, perhaps, a career.

Another student in rural B.C. is getting a head start in her veteranary studies by working directly with horses at a local stable, earning credits while learning biology and anatomy.

The new curriculum appears to be a significant improvement over what some may view as a stale and rigid school structure and will, perhaps, make education fun rather than a task. It is designed to focus on each student’s strengths and encourage the development of skills via more real-world situations, heralding an exciting new chapter in public education.

Whether or not it will be suited to all students remains to be seen, however. Some parents have expressed concerns about the new curriculum, saying it has not been clearly explained to them, but let’s hope the new and improved public school system will, as it promises, prove more inclusive of all ability-levels and realistically prepare each student for the world that awaits them upon graduation.

Boundary District Teachers’ Association vicepresident Debra Klockenbrink recently provided the School District 51 board of education with an update regarding teachers response to the soonto-be implemented new curriculum, and the two additional non-instructional days (NIDs) slated for this school year in the district.

Speaking at the recent SD51 board meeting on Jan. 12 in Midway, she identified Feb. 12 and April 18 as the added non-instructional days, designed to provide teachers an opportunity to network with their colleagues regarding the redesigned curriculum, which will be put in place for the school year beginning in September 2016.

Kindergarten to Grade 9 will be first out of the block with the new curriculum, followed by Grades 10-12 the following year.

The new curriculum affords teachers more flexibility and creativity in how education is de-

livered and how assessments are made. It is based largely on the concept that all kids can get passionate about something that interests them— whether it’s dinosaurs, soccer or music—and that their education should be geared more toward those passions and designed as a more personalized educational platform. Rather than the traditional “regurgitation” of material that student assessments are based on, students will be encouraged to concentrate on subjects that truly engage their imaginations. For instance, many parents know first hand how video games are a part of life—at home and on mobile devices; within the new curriculum, students could turn their gaming passions into knowledge and, ultimately, into job skills.

At the meeting, Klockenbrink began by asking the hypothetical question, “What are we trying to achieve and how did we get here?” as a platform for her update to the board. She noted key dates last fall which saw the curriculum implementation committee convene in November and again in December to start planning the framework around the additional non-instructional days.

A subcommittee was formed to come up with a survey to send to teachers trying to determine what understanding they had of the new curriculum and areas they felt they needed more experience with. Seventy-four teachers responded to the survey, 63 of which reported that they were comfortable using the new curriculum website, and 57 reporting that they had significantly explored the new curriculum.

Many teachers reported having already experimented with the different components of the curriculum—Big Ideas, Core Competencies and Curricular Content, though less than half reported that they have changed their reporting and assessment practices.

On Jan. 11, the planning committee, comprised of 7.5 teachers and 2.5 administrators (10 altogether; some have dual roles within their schools and are considered half teacher, half administrator) met to set a more definitive schedule and picture of the Feb. 12 session. The committee felt that minimum orientation would be required for teachers navigating the curriculum website, but was concerned about the groupings of teachers during the session.

The committee decided to adopt an organic “ed-camp” format for both non-instructional days that would have no set schedule. Rather, teachers will be asked to arrive at the session armed with specific goals and questions around the new curriculum. Session coordinators will then group the teachers based on similar themes.

Letters to the editor

reporter@boundarycreektimes.com

Tutti’s contributions would have been substantial Editor, The Times: In the Jan. 14 edition of the Boundary Creek Times, a concerned citizen gave a “slug” to the paper for commenting on the future byelection necessitated by the

passing of Councillor Nola Tutti and all the “hoopla” surrounding it, in the same edition of the paper in which her obituary appeared.

I don’t quite understand their issue. Nola’s passing, two weeks earlier, was tragic, especially so considering the death of her husband just two months prior to her

own. A terrible loss to her family and anyone close to her, but also a loss to Greenwood. We’ll never know how great a loss.

Her professional background and global experience brought a perspective to Greenwood which Greenwood sorely needs, and as she settled in to her position as councillor, I’m sure her contribution to our city would have been substantial. That alone, in my opinion, makes mention of the byelection completely within the bounds of “decorum”.

School district crews busy School District 51 held its regular board meeting Tuesday, Jan. 12 at the Boundary Learning Centre in Midway.

Board members busy Superintendant Kevin Argue and Director of Learning Doug Lacey were both kept busy during December, taking in most of the district’s school Christmas concerts, including those at West Boundary, Hutton, Perley, Beaverdell and Christina Lake elementary schools, along with GFSS, as well as the BCSS production of All Shook Up. November busy for superintendent Argue attended the B.C. School Superintendent’s Association Fall conference in Vancouver from Nov. 18-20 and the B.C. School Trustees Association’s Winter Academy, also in Vancouver, from Nov. 26-28.

Maintenance crews busy over the holidays Several maintenance projects were completed over the Christmas break. Perley had its library painted and recarpeted and a handicap washroom installed; GFSS had new linoleum laid in the staff room, the school’s gymnasium floor was refinished and the auditorium robotic lights were cleaned and the new sound system installation completed.

Additionally, the weight room equipment at BCSS was moved from the workout room to the stage area in the gymnasium.

New systems installations soon Dust removal systems for both GFSS and BCSS are set to be installed, though both projects are

MIDWAY SD LIBRARY 51

NOTES REPORT

a little behind schedule due to the late arrival of specific ductwork required. The board hopes to have both systems up and running for the beginning of the next semester on Feb. 1. Both installation projects went to tender, with Kelowna’s D&G Mechanical successful in winning both jobs.

Technological updates done The IT department was busy over the holidays, making technological updates throughout the district.

These include: • Software updates on all switches • Deployment of PaloAlto firewalls to BWCS, BES, WBES, MES, BCSS, GES, and CLES (in preparation for NGN / PLNet transition) • Began migrating fiber sites off PLNet hardware (preparation for NGN / PLNet transition) • Upgrades to phone systems to current shipping version • Added additional network drops for GFSS TV Studio computers • Completed installation of fiber terminations in datacenter for City/ RDKB offices • Replaced UPS’s in WBES and IT building for servers Student numbers up slightly Enrollment across the district remains steady, with a slight increase of 26 students from September to December 2015. J.A. Hutton and Big White Elementary schools saw the sharpest increase, with nine and 12 respectively.

I think, however, that the mention of potential “hoopla” surrounding the byelection is what irked the slugger, and I think its mention might have irked them at any time.

But given the contrast between Nola’s cooperative personality and, what seems to me to be the chronically disgruntled and egodriven behaviour of some of the people who might want to fill her tragically vacated position, making mention of the discordant situation our town might soon face only increases our awareness of

the value of the person now lost to us—even to those of us who didn’t know her personally.

As an aside: from my understanding, Nola and Ed, though never having served on Greenwood council before, inherited the responsibility for a lawsuit directed at a previous council. That being the case, anyone interested in becoming a councillor might want to consult a lawyer prior to entering the ring . . .

Second highest count ever FRED MARSHALL Submitted

The 2015 West Boundary bird count was enjoyed by 29 participants who sighted 56 species including 2,791 individuals. Very surprisingly, this was the second highest count ever with only the 2006 count being higher with 3,893 individuals sighted. The species number at 56 was average with the highest being 60 in 2009.

Last year 55 species with 1,615 individuals were counted.

The West Boundary count area includes all of the West Boundary starting from and including Eholt.

Bohemian waxwings which topped the count last year with 443 birds sighted dropped to zero this year. This is the first time with no waxwings being observed.

California quail topped the count this year with 360 birds sighted. American Golfinch were second with 236 birds and Pine siskins were close behind with 226 individuals counted.

Another absentee this year were the Robins with none observed. Two new birds to the area are the Boreal chickadees (four) seen near Eholt by Dennis Graham and five White winged doves counted by Mary Cannon. The normal range for these doves is Mexico! So a long ways from home.

Mary said there were quite a few around during the summer with a few

other people also seeing them and five stuck around for the Christmas count.

Unusual sightings included four Townsend solitaires with two being sighted by Pat Uglik near Rock Creek and two by Don Henry near Hulme Creek.

Lorri Harpur sighted the lone Northern Shrike while Norma Howes provided us with beautiful pictures of a Northern saw-whet owl and a Cooper’s hawk, both the lone sightings.

Len and Jean Schmidt observed nine ring-necked ducks.

Assessments are completed by July 1 and mailed to property owners in January.

Assessments can also be viewed online at evalueBC, which is on the bcassessment.ca website. Property owners can also check out the assessments of neighbouring properties for comparison. Residents can also call 1-866-ValueBC with any questions.

Anyone wishing to appeal their assessment has until Feb. 1 to file an appeal. The assessments are used to determine property taxes.

“The value of all real estate on the annual provincial assessment roll is more than $1.3 trillion and provides the foundation for local and provincial taxing authorities to finance communities with billions of dollars in property tax revenue,” said the website.

A total of 1,996,112 properties were assessed this year, up 1.06 per cent from the year before. The total value of real estate assessed in B.C., $1.34 trillion, is up 11.1 per cent from the previous year. The value of new construction, subdivisions and rezonings was $20.36 billion, up 8.9 per cent.

In the Kootenay-Columbia region, owners of more than 142,000 properties will be receiving their assessments this month.

“The majority of residential homeowners within the region can expect an increase compared to last year’s assessments,” said Ramaish Shah, Kootenay Columbia Region deputy assessor, in a press release.

“Most homeowners in the Kootenay Columbia region will see modest increases depending on their location. For example, a typical single family home in Nelson that was previously assessed at $315,000 was valued at $333,000 in the summer of 2015.”

The typical percentage change in value (as of July 1) has increased from 0 to +10 per cent for residential single family homes and residential strata units such as condos, and -5 to +5 per cent for commercial and light industrial. Overall, the Kootenay Columbia region’s assessment roll increased

from $36.97 billion in 2015 to $37.89 billion this year.

A press release stated that value reflects a change due to market movement as well as $361 million in growth due to subdivisions, rezoning and new construction. The Kootenay Columbia region includes the southeast portion of the province from Cranbrook to Grand Forks and from Trail to Golden.

The 2016 assessment roll (market value as of July 1, 2015) estimated value for single family residential properties in the City of Grand Forks is $194,000, up from $189,000 in 2015. By comparison, Trail is $155,000, down from $166,000 in 2015; Nelson is $333,000, up from $315,000; Greenwood is the lowest valued at $125,000, which is actually up from 2015’s $121,000; Midway is $176,000, up from $173,000 in 2015; and Castlegar is $264,000, up from $254,000 in 2015.

Although there are no estimated average values for RDKB rural areas, Shah said Area D/Rural Grand Forks properties are up an average of 5 to 10 per cent from last year, while Area C/Christina Lake is up 10 to 15 per cent.

Shah urges property owners to go the BC Assessment website and compare assessments with their neighbours. “Property owners can find a lot of information on our website including answers to many assessment-related questions, but those who feel that their property assessment does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2015 or see incorrect information on their notice, should contact BC Assessment as indicated on their notice as soon as possible in January,” said Shah.

“If a property owner is still concerned about their assessment after speaking to one of our appraisers, they may submit a Notice of Complaint (Appeal) by Feb. 1 for an independent review by a Property Assessment Review Panel.”
