Midway RCMP are asking for the public’s help in location a missing Rock Creek resident. Colleen Sylvia Smith was last seen on Feb. 9 at 9:30 a.m. She is a 50-year-old caucasian with blonde hair and blue eyes and wears glasses.

Smith owns a blue 2005 four-door Chevrolet Cobalt with B.C. licence plate 914WFB. She was reported missing after she failed to show up for her shift as a cashier at the Rock Creek General Store, and, according to police, has not been in contact with her friends or family since.

“We’re concerned about her well being,” said Cst. James Charles of the Midway RCMP. “We’re looking for her to contact any RCMP detachment so we know she’s okay.”

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Colleen Smith is urged to contact their local police (Midway RCMP 250449-2244) or Crimestoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

FireSmart session well attended ANDREW TRIPP

Boundary Creek Times Reporter

More than 50 West Boundary Area E residents congregated at the Rock Creek Fairgounds on Saturday to take part in a FireSmart orientation session aimed at introducing property owners to the fire-prevention program.

A non-profit, communitydriven initiative, FireSmart Canada helps train people living in forested areas to become wildfire-aware by encouraging them to take a series of sim-

ple steps to help protect their dwellings and property from fire damage.

Moderated by Bridesvillebased Quintech Fire Services principal Darren Hutchinson and Anarchist Mountain FireSmart Committee president Denis Thomson, the meeting was also attended by Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Deputy Fire Chief Dan Derby, Wildfire Management Fire Protection Officers Alvin Boyer and James Katasonoff, as well as regional director Vicki Gee, who helped organize the event.

Take cellphone survey ANDREW TRIPP

Boundary Creek Times Reporter

Provincial government statistics indicate that approximately 3,000 people reside in the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Area E. The Ministry of Transportation, however, has stated that on a peak travel day in August 2014, more than 2,500 vehicles travelled Highway 33, which makes the availability of cellular telephone service vital for the area.

According to concerned resident Jeff Sarsons, while signs on the highway suggest that emergency 911 service is available along the route, that service, provided by Telus, is

not sufficient to fully and consistently utilize 911 services.

“Most residents now have cellular telephones,” said Sarsons, “but we cannot use them in the majority of rural areas within the RDKB. This became particularly evident during the firestorm of last August.”

To bring awareness to residents’ frustrations with cell phone service, Sarsons has set up an online survey designed to gauge the degree of the disatisfaction and present the results to both Telus and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Area E/West Boundary Director Vicki Gee. While Telus has made ongoing announcements regarding expansion of cellu-

lar service along both primary and secondary routes, it has yet to improve coverage in several parts of the fire-struck area.

“I am aware that Telus have cellular sites on their planning horizon for this area,” said Sarsons, “but in my opinion, the lack of communications during the firestorm of 2015 proves that we need action now, not two, four or six years down the road.

“The traffic on Highway 33 alone demands better coverage, not just Rock Creek, Beaverdell, Big White and Joe Rich.”

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.

Residents not reckless With the announcement by the province of a proposed law that would provide police with the authority to arrest people who refuse to evacuate their properties during a wildfire comes the sobering realization that homeowners may be usurped of the basic human right of protecting their investments during a natural disaster.

If a homeowner were the victim of a home invasion, it would be well within his or her rights to take whatever steps were deemed necessary to prevent that crime from being committed. That includes the use of registered firearms, meaning that one could, in this country at least, fatally injure an intruder and not face charges.

But try to remain on one’s property in defence of one’s sole possessions and, in many cases homes that represent a life’s work, and, at least if the government gets its way, B.C. residents may face being dragged, likely kicking and screaming, from a fire they may have already begun to suppress.

Compare that to the proposed new reality which may well see firefighters, experienced or otherwise, being shuttled into unfamiliar territory to save threatened homes while the owners are arrested and forcibly removed, and it is easy to understand why those individuals who chose to stay and fight last August’s Rock Creek fire are anything but supportive of the proposed legislation.

The events of Aug. 13, 2015 proved not only how fast a wind-aided wildfire can destroy a forest but also how resilient and resourceful many residents of West Boundary are. Fires were nothing new to many, and the necessary equipment to tackle the flames were close at hand. Leaving was simply not an option. In fact, a group of residents’ actions were so effective in stemming the spread of the fire onto Crown land, that the province took the unprecedented step of financially compensating civilians during a fire-fighting campaign.

These were not reckless men and women; they were seasoned, knowledgeable property owners who were used to living without official fire protection, simply not willing to “give up without a fight.” While fire officials are quick to condemn such vigilantism, it is difficult to imagine what firefighters would have done without the numerous residents who sprung into action as soon as the fire hit.

Province considers evacuation law ANDREW TRIPP

Boundary Creek Times Reporter

Some residents in the Boundary region say they’re against proposed changes that would give the RCMP authority to arrest people who refuse to leave during an evacuation order. Critics say if the idea is legislated, people will lose their homes during wildfires.

“If we had been forced to evacuate, we would have definitely—no doubt in my mind— lost all of our places,” said Michael Fenwick-Wilson, who fought to save his home during the Rock Creek wildfire in 2015.

Last summer 30 homes were lost to the fire during one of B.C.’s worst wildfire seasons to date.

As part of proposed revisions to the Emergency Program Act, the province is considering giving the RCMP the authority to arrest people like FenwickWilson who refuse to leave under similar circumstances.

The province argues that people who stay despite evacuation orders put emergency workers at risk when situations become increasingly dangerous and require a rescue.

Manitoba was the first province to enact similar laws, in

2013, according to the document outlining the proposed changes.

“It’s unenforceable for the most part. I mean, the [jail] cells aren’t big enough in the area,” Fe nw i c k - Wi l s on said.

Fred Marshall, a professional forester who trains people how to protect their properties from fire, also says he’s against the proposed change.

“Many of us people here in the Boundary, we’ve been here for years.

We’re pretty wellexperienced, and know what to do,” he said. “You would have to arrest us all.”

The province was accepting feedback on the changes until last Friday.

Minister of State for Emergency PreMICHAEL FENWICK-WILSON paredness, Naomi Yamamoto, will 31, 2016. present the feedback to the With files from Brady Strachan Cabinet Committee on Secure of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Tomorrow on or before March

Founder’s Day will be July 9 Thank You Greenwood council sat for its regular meeting MIDWAY LIBRARY on Monday.

Councillors’ reports

the successful removal of a beaver dam and subsequent reinforcement of the banks of Boundary Creek, a project overseen by Fred Marshall and public works foreman Randy Smith. The bill for Marshall’s work came in at $600.

nity Futures regarding the sprucing up of three kiosks located in Lion’s Park.

The city is looking for funds to help upgrade the sewer system and generator, though was unable to secure a grant for that infrastructure project, which the city considers important, especially considering the impact of last year’s fire.

Mayor’s report

CAO Report

Mayor Smith reported that Jim Madder is the city’s temporary financial officer, with acting CAO Wendy Higashi working alongside him during the budget process. Smith suggested that business is moving along in a positive direction, including negotiations with city employees, whose contracts expire at the end of February.

The mayor is working with staff on a budget draft to distribute to the public and the city is also in talks with Commu-

CAO Higashi raised the issue of the Slag Royalty Reserve Fund bylaw, which was never passed in 2003 despite having three readings by council.

The bylaw must be created to satisfy the city’s audit requirements. Monies from the sale of the slag total over $50,000, an account which, like all other separate accounts, must have a bylaw attached to it. Council agreed that research into the bylaw was needed, which Councillor Lang agreed to help with.

GREENWOOD COUNCIL REPORT

Councillor Ashton attended the Greenwood Board of Trade (BOT) meeting, where Founder’s Day was announced for Saturday, July 9. Canada Day celebrations will also go ahead this year, though funding for the event has yet to be secured.

The BOT’s annual general meeting was scheduled for April 16 though that was later changed to March 9 pursuant to the group’s bylaws. The board also offered its thanks to council for the use of a much-needed storage area in the fire hall.

Ashton will be attending the upcoming regional hospital meeting in Trail.

Councillor Cudworth presented the Public Works report, which included

Fire department gets new vehicle ANDREW TRIPP

Boundary Creek Times Reporter

The Midway Volunteer Fire Department (MVFD) has a new command vehicle in service, a much-needed addition to the department’s response team.

The vehicle, a 2010 Dodge 3/4 ton 4x4 crew cab, will finally provide Fire Chief Walt Osallame with a response unit dedicated to the department. For more than 25 years, Osallame has used his own personal vehicles to respond to incidents, for which he neither asked for nor was provided compensation.

With the sharp increase last summer in emergency calls, Osallame’s vehicles were pushed to the limit, making the purchase of a new command vehicle a necessity.

The truck came from the County of

Minburn-Vergeville Fire Department in Vegreville, Alberta, a small town located 100 kilometres east of Edmonton, which had listed it for sale at $20,000. After conversation between the two departments, Minburn generously offered to sell the vehicle to the MVFD as an assist (from one fire departement to another) for a slashed price of $13,000.

When asked for comment, Midway Chief Administrative Officer Penny Feist said, “There was significant wear and tear on Fire Chief Osallame’s vehicle for sure, but, perhaps more importantly, there was risk to injury placed on the chief and to others while responding to an incident without lights and sirens. Risk of liability for both the fire chief and the village was also present.”

“It is well known,” continued Feist,

“that in order for an effective and safe response, the Incident Commander (IC) needs to be first on scene to perform an on-site assessment and now, with the new command vehicle, people will be well aware of an ongoing emergency response.

With red flashing lights and sirens, the IC will be able to ensure a safe and timely response to emergency situations.”

The vehicle will be used by the fire chief within the fire response area while on duty, and the deputy incident commander on duty will be placed in charge of the command vehicle while the chief is off duty or away from the fire response area.

The vehicle was delivered to Midway on Feb. 5, received a successful inspection, and has been in operation since Feb.12.

Kettle Valley Golf Club members filled the Boundary District Curling Club lounge on Sunday to re-elect the board of directors and get a preview of the club’s plans for the 2016 season. Despite the three week interruption of last year’s season, courtesy of the Rock Creek fire, the club still enjoyed one of its most successful years on record.

A successful season for club ANDREW TRIPP

Boundary Creek Times Reporter

Members of the Kettle Valley Golf Club (KVGC) gathered on Sunday to listen to the club’s executive outline its plans for the coming season, as well as providing members with an update of the KVGC’s financial status.

President Dave Marsh chaired the meeting, which, among other things, resulted in the re-election by acclamation of the majority of the 2015 executive.

Attending members were unanimous in returning the officers for another year, or, in some cases, an additional two-year term.

Treasurer Earl Lindsey reported that the club made a profit of more than $13,000 last year and, generally, enjoyed one of the most successful seasons on record.

Club manager Aaron Rexin summarized 2015 as a very challenging year for

Class sizes

the KVGC. Notwithstanding the effect of the Rock Creek fire on the club’s business for three weeks during one of the traditional peak periods for the course, the club also had to deal with extremely dry conditions throughout the spring and summer, making it more challenging than ever to keep the course in its usually pristine state.

Adding to the fire and weather conditions was the rash of thefts that plagued the club throughout the year, which has, in recent years, been an ongoing problem for the KVGC. There was some dicussion regarding the hiring of a resident security officer to help discourage would-be thieves, and the club will be making that decision in the next several weeks.

The club continues to apply for grants, and Rexin was hopeful that this year would see more support from the government in that regard.

Marsh announced, much to the dismay of club members, that restaurant manager Sam Hall would not be returning for an-

other season. The club is actively looking for a replacement for Hall, who, Marsh suggested, made the KVGC restaurant a popular place to dine for golfers and non-golfers alike.

The junior program is one of the club’s priorities this season; director Wayne Wickens noted that he had spoken with local elementary school principal Brian Foy and that he was in full support of the program. Marsh noted that it was extremely important to get the youth of the region involved with the club and golf in general to ensure a future growth of membership.

Scheduled infrastructure improvements include an overhaul of the irrigation pumphouse, and several trees are slated for removal due to insect infestation or death. Trees will also be added to the course.

Annual membership fees will be increased by $50 for the 2016 season, keeping KVGC dues considerably lower than other golf venues in the region.

The KVGC will open, weather-permitting, in early spring.

Scammers don’t quit Recently a citizen of Grand Forks was contacted by a scammer who posed as an agent for the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), reported Sgt. Jim Fenske, Detachment Commander of the Boundary Regional RCMP. The scammer demanded money for back taxes, fines and a fee. The scammer told the citizen that the RCMP would be contacting the citizen if he did not pay.

Later the citizen got a phone call using the Grand Forks RCMP

Greenwood Board of

phone number on his call display.

“These scammers are using the RCMP phone number as a form of intimidation. This is a scam,” Fenske said.

The scammers tell taxpayers that they either owe money to the CRA or have a tax refund. Taxpayers are threatened with arrest or jail time if they do not take immediate action and provide money or personal or financial information.

To confirm the authenticity of a call, contact the CRA using its official Trade by telephone number for individual tax enquiries: 1-800-959-8281.

If you believe you may be the victim of fraud or have given personal or financial information in error, contact police and your financial institution.

WI awards calendar proceeds MARY CANNON Submitted

The Rock Creek Women’s Institute (RCWI) assembled at the home of Judy Watson for its monthly meeting on Feb. 17, with 12 members present.

During the meeting, proceeds from the RCWI 2016 Centennial Calendar were allocated to a resident who had lost their home and possessions in the Rock Creek fire. The institute would like to pass on heartfelt thanks to those who purchased the calendar and enabled the much-needed donation.

There was also a presentation by Kena Manson, proprietor of K&K Meats, which recently opened shop at the meat cutting facility on Kettle Valley Road. Manson provided samples of her specialty sausages, infused with spices and fruit, which were well-received by

members.

On Feb. 20, the RCWI ladies provided coffee, baked goods and lunch for the FireSmart program session at the Rock Creek Fairgrounds. All unused food was donated to Vivian Browne for the Food Share program.

The RCWI would like to offer special thanks to Vicki Gee and the RDKB grants in-aid program for hosting a Food Safe Level 1 course last fall. Two RCWI member attained their certification at the one-day course.

George Milton Scales October 4, 1930 – January 7, 2016

It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of our beloved husband / father / grandfather / uncle / brother / friend.

He leaves behind his loving wife of 63 years Joyce, his 5 children, Jim (Sheree), Pat (Gerry), Lissa (Dave), Charlene (Tom) & Penny (Bill), 15 grandchildren, 38 great grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild, along with his brother Jim Scales and sister Alice Kolisnyk, and numerous loving nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Wesley and Elizabeth Scales, two sisters Dorothy Lyon & Willa Deans and his brother Syd Scales.

Born and raised in Morden Manitoba, Milt moved out west as a young man and enjoyed a 37 year career with the CPR. He was a dedicated family man and an active volunteer in the communities where he lived.

He lived his life with pride in all that he did... with love, respect and dedication for his wife and family, his friends and community, as well as his career. His happy welcoming smile was his own unique trademark in life and will be missed by all. Milt will live in our hearts forever, never to be forgotten.

The family is planning a celebration of his life on May 7, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. in the Midway Community Centre.

Scholarship Program. This initiative will provide a leadership opportunity for a young woman (18 -22 years old) from each province across Canada to participate in a one-week educational program (Aug. 21-27) at the International Peace Garden located on the Manitoba and North Dakota borders.

This program is for young women interested in leadership, marketing, social media, horticulture, public relations, arts, inspiring others, and positive social change. Community and volunteer experience are assets. The deadline is April 15. More information may be found at www.fwic.ca.

Hospital fee $1 for miners AL DONNELLY

Chronicles of Boundary Country from the pages of The Boundary Creek Times Volume VII, No. 11 – November 25, 1899 ➤ The Smelter Bonus – Editorial - “The British Columbia Cooper Company’s request for a production bonus from the City of Greenwood is an extremely modest one. When the site for a smelter was yet undetermined, the company could have asked the city for a substantial bonus and the electors would probably have granted the same in order to secure the smelter near the city. The company, however, refrained from doing this.

“The proposition to grant a bonus of 10 cents for every ton smelted until $3,600 is paid will not entail any hardship upon the ratepayers and is a public recognition of the fact that a large important industry has been established in the city.”

preciate, in this case, the income revenue generated will not yet allow for significant granting.

Larger community foundations than ours, do not expect individual funds to produce revenues until such time as the fund value reaches a minimum of $10,000. Hopefully the Christina Lake community seizes the opportunity to positively impact the small organizations in their town, by growing this fund.

Now, you may be asking what about Grand Forks? Doesn’t Grand Forks have a community fund as well? The City of Grand Forks is one of Phoenix Foundations most treasured donors, and did donate $100,000 as part of celebrating its Centennial Year, and contributing to the vision of a vibrant community. That donation played a very important role in establishing the Phoenix Foundation as an idea whose time had come.

Because of the faith demonstrated by the City of Grand Forks (and many others) we have become the little foundation that could. The money donated by the City of Grand Forks is part of our Phoenix Foundation general funds, which provides a significant share of the monies available for community grants.

Event all about winter wellness ANDREW TRIPP

Boundary Creek Times Reporter

Last Thursday, Boundary Central Secondary students participated in an Aboriginal Winter Wellness Event that included a visit from elders, a lunch comprising of tacos made with bannock, a traditional native bread, prizes for a nutrition quiz, and storytelling by artist David Seven Deers at Stektahl, the Learning Circle.

The event was sponsored through a grant from the First Nations Healthy Authority (FNHA).

The FNHA envisions healthy, self-determining and vibrant B.C. First Nations children, along with families and communities, playing an active role in decision-making regarding their personal and collective wellness. The FNHA awarded a grant to the Boundary All Nations Aboriginal Council, in partnership with School District 51, to host winter wellness events at Boundary Central Secondary School and Grand Forks Secondary School.

The events strive to encourage and sustain wellness in individuals, families, and communities through themes such as healthy eating and connection to school and native elders.

GFI baseball returns for 35th event GERRY FOSTER

Must-Have Pavé Charms that go with everything TPG

THISTLE POT GIFTS

337 Market Ave. Downtown Grand Forks 250.442.1214

Submitted

The organizing committee is excited to announce that the 35th Grand Forks International (GFI) baseball tournament will be held June 28 - July 3 at beautiful James Donaldson Park.

It will be a 12-team tournament. The lineup of teams is almost complete and will be announced soon. Recently a baseball fan and author from Minneapolis, Minnesota has been in touch with the GFI and shared some interesting thoughts about our tournament and ballpark.

Philip Lowry wrote the book Green

Cathedrals which includes references to about 400 ballparks, mostly all over the United States. He is aware of the GFI and wants to know more of its remarkable history.

Even though he has not been to Grand Forks, he said the following: “You are indeed correct that your tournament is the premier summer baseball tournament in North America.”

To realize that this tourney has that kind of reputation way beyond our area is both exhilarating and humbling.

He has seen only photos of our outstanding facility and yet commented, “I absolutely love the asymmetry of

(James) Donaldson Park. That is the way ballparks are supposed to be. They need a character and soul that no astro-turfed domed symmetrical park can ever give.”

The Grand Forks International and James Donaldson Park are well known far beyond our community. Thousands of baseball fans and players from all over the globe have travelled here since 1975 because of this classic event.

Coordinator of the 35th Grand Forks International, Gerry Foster, said, “Let’s not take it for granted. It’s a gem and is vital to our area.”

Watch for ongoing announcements and news about the upcoming GFI.
