After several months of being one councillor short after the resignation of Michael Wirischagin, the City of Grand Forks is preparing for a byelection. At the regular council meeting on March 14, council voted in favour of appointing Diane Heinrich as chief election officer and Sarah Winton as deputy election officer.

The date for the byelection is set for Saturday, May 28. The winning can-

or holding office, or be otherwise disqualified by law.

Prospective candidates must be nominated by at least two eligible electors from the local government where the person is seeking election.

The nomination period goes from Tuesday, April 12 at 9 a.m. until April 22 at 4 p.m. Advanced voting will go from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Wednesday, May 18.

General voting day is Saturday, May 28 from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m.

The Ombudsperson’s office of B.C. has completed an investigation into the ongoings at City Hall after receiving several complaints from residents. Although the ombudsperson found some areas in which the city and staff fell short regarding consultation with citizens regarding the residential water meter program, they ultimately concluded that the city took proper steps to improve communications moving forward.

The Office of the Ombudsperson is an independent body that can help determine whether provincial public authorities have acted fairly and reasonably—and whether their actions and decisions were consistent with relevant legislation, policies and procedures. Each year, they receive around 7,500 enquiries and complaints and conduct 2,000 individual investigations and early resolutions. As an independent statutory Officer of the Legislation, the Ombudsperson (Jay Chalke) cannot enforce action; however, public authorities usually accept the Ombudsperson’s recommendations.

In the Ombudsperson’s last report (2014-15), Grand Forks had 20 files opened in 2014-15, second only to the City of Vancouver’s 24. In comparison, the City of Surrey had 10, Kelowna had three, Castlegar had two, and Nelson had one.

Grand Forks had 20 files still open as of March 31, 2015, the most of any municipality in B.C. By comparison, the City of Vancouver had 11, the City of Victoria had two, as did Castlegar, while Nelson had zero.

In the letter to the complainant, the Ombudsperson wrote that they received a considerable number of related complaints regarding the water meter program. “The people who contacted us were primarily concerned that the city was pushing through the project without adequate public input,” the report stated. “They believed that the decision to install individual [residential] water meters was made without proper research and without the examination of other options. According to complainants, the former mayor, CAO and council ignored all public input and refused to accept a petition signed by over 500 residents asking to delay installation or conduct a referendum on the issue.”

The Ombudsperson stated that his office focussed its investigation on whether the city adequately consulted with residents in advance of the decision to move forward with the universal water meter program.

The report stated that the investigation determined a number of reports and discussions at open council meetings from 1999 onwards, “However, it is significant to note that none of the documents explicitly informed the public that council intented to vote on the question of whether or not to adopt a universal residential water meter program. Nor did any of the documents provided by the city demonstrate that • See OMBUDSPERSON page 7

New ‘pick and pay’ channels explained

Last summer Sheila Dobie hosted a Grand Forks and Boundary Regional Agricultural Society seed saving workshop at Spencer Hill Farm with Jon Alcock of Sunshine Farms in Kelowna.

They demonstrated the seed winnower GFBRAS has available for loan.

Consumers won’t save money, says broadcasting advocacy group CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A new CRTC ruling allowing lower entry TV plans and pick and pay channels has viewers hoping for big savings.

As of March 1, 2016 all Canadian TV providers (cable and satellite) must offer a basic (or skinny) package of channels for no more than $25 a month and give consumers the option of ordering channels a la carte (one at a time, or “pick and pay”) or in small bundles (up to 10 channels). By December 1, 2016, TV providers must offer both a la carte ordering and small channel bundles (up to 10 channels).

“Thanks in part to the availability of broadband technology, viewers can watch television content at the times, in the places and on the devices hey choose,” said Jean-Pierre Blais, chairman of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), in a press release. “Viewers are in control. Canadians have a world of choice at their fingertips.

Today’s decision is not about making choices for Canadians, rather it is about setting out a road map to give all Canadians the freedom to choose the television content that meets their unique needs, budget and realities—which can even include free, over-the-air television stations. Each househould will be able to find the right value proposition.”

A Shaw Communications spokesperson told the Gazette, “In mid-February we posted to our website improvements to our television packaging that offer additional customer choices in conjunction with new CRTC regulations.

This includes the launch of a new entry-level TV package called limited TV, as well as new small theme packs which are also available to be combined with our existing TV packages. Prior to this, personal TV was our entry level packaging.

It has not changed. [Personal TV is still available.]”

Limited TV and the new small theme packs have been available from Shaw since Feb. 17, 2016. “In all cases, pre-existing packaging has been maintained and there is no

Grand Forks & District Fall Fair Society

need for current customers to make any decisions or changes to their subscription.”

At Shaw, the limited TV package includes around 30 channels including the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox) in both standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) as well as Global, CTV (SD only) Knowledge Network, APTN and others at a cost of $25 per month.

By comparison, the personal TV package includes around 75 channels including around 15 HD channels. The personal packages includes the channels in the limited TV package as well as channels such as TSN 1, Sportsnet One, History, Food Network, Cartoon Network and several more at a cost of $43 per month.

Currently, Shaw has about 80 channels available for pick and pay including MSNBC, MTV2, MovieTime, Action, Fashion TV, Travel & Escape, and more. Prices may vary depending on bundles, special deals, and other factors. (Taxes as well as equipment not included.)

Friends of Canadian Broadcasting (FCB), a group which advocates for Canadian broadcasting, predicts that the regulatory changes made by the CRTC will end up causing a huge negative impact on the Canadian television industry and the Canadian economy.

“Local TV in Canada is extremely vulnerable,” said Jim Thompson, representative for FCB. The Friends recently published a study stating that 50 per cent of all local stations will close by 2020.

Thompson said that consumers are not too impressed by the skinny packages offered thus far by the big providers.

“The introduction of skinny basic and pick and pay, it’s simply not going to save consumers money,” he said. “Even though many observers including Friends predicted there would be almost no cost savings for most consumers, there’s still disappointment, I think, among consumers that not only is this not going to save me money, it may cost me money. The outcome for consumers might be that they pay more and get less. That’s disappointing.”

Seedy Saturday heralds season ERIN PERKINS

For the Grand Forks Gazette

For gardeners, March brings with it a feeling of hope and anticipation because the growing season is about to officially begin.

There’s nothing like getting your hands around some promising seed packets and there’s no better place to get started than the annual Seedy Saturday event in Grand Forks.

This year it is on Saturday, March 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church located at 7252 Seventh Street.

The popular event includes the opportunity to share seeds you’ve harvested yourself, pick up some new seeds from fellow gardeners, purchase seed from vendors, learn more about Grand Forks and Boundary Regional Agricultural Society (GFBRAS), enjoy a homemade lunch and to talk worms.

“I will be there with my wayward worms,” confirmed Lorraine Dick, GFBRAS member.

For the past few years Dick has been demonstrating and discussing vermiculture—or the use of worms to create compost.

This year she will be available to talk about her favourite gastropod and what a few thousand of them can do to improve the quality of your garden soil.

There will also be plants for sale and a place to sign up for your plot in the community garden.

For those interested in contributing or becoming a seed custodian for the Boundary Seed Bank Project, there will

be information and people on hand. The Seed Bank, which was started five years ago, now holds more than 40 varieties of vegetables, grains and beans that are acclimatized and historically significant to our region.

If you are bringing in seeds

to exchange, please make sure the seeds are packaged and labeled with the name and date the seeds were harvested.

For those who can’t make it to the event, you can find free seeds at the Grand Forks and District Public Library where there is a Seed Library.

Join the new Seed Saving Learning Group Want to learn how to save your own seeds?

Sheila Dobie, GFBRAS liaison, is looking for six to eight people who can dedicate some volunteer hours over the growing season to learn how to produce and save their own seeds from start to finish.

The Seed Saving Learning Group will meet twice a month over the growing season, starting with planting at the Community Garden plots, Learning Garden project, two additional sites in Grand Forks and one in Midway in May and June.

Participants will need to commit to at least three of the eight work parties scheduled between May and September. Those who commit to the entire season may be eligible for a stipend.

The group will be planting beans, beets, squash, lettuce, kale, spinach, potato, amaranth, mustard and assorted other varieties.

During the work parties they will be planting, mulching, monitoring the crops, documenting the progress, staking, weeding, thinning and rogueing for specific qualities. The season will end with harvesting, drying, cleaning and storing the seeds properly.

There will also be an additional participatory plant-breeding project with potatoes.

Dobie, who recently returned from the Organic Seed Alliance Conference in Oregon, is enthused about the new project. She and more than 500 other participants attended the event in February where she rubbed elbows with more than 80 leaders in open pollinated seeds production and preservation.

“I think it was the humbling, and at the same time an inspiring realization, that we can in our own small way be activists in this movement,” Dobie said. “We with our Seed Bank project are on the right track to ensure the resilience of our local food system and a player for what is possible—and necessary—for the world. It placed our wee project is such a majestic context—it was breathtaking!”

She said seeds are as much about food production as they are about cultural legacy.

“In the seed history, ancestory and technology converge,” she said.

Funding for the Seed Saving Learning Group was provided by The Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security, a project of USC Canada delivered in partnership with Seeds of Diversity Canada and supported by The W. Garfield Weston Foundation. For more information visit www.usc-canada.org and www.seeds.ca. For more information about the Seed Saving Learning Group contact Sheila at boundaryfarms@gmail.com. Dobie expects to have her first meeting in April.

YOUR NEWS VIEW

Deal or no deal?

Most people were pretty excited to hear about the CRTC rule changes regarding TV plans and the possibility of choosing channels ala carte (pick and pay).

TV fans saw visions in their head of lower bills and more choices. Why pay $100 or so for a big TV bundle when you really only watch a half dozen channels or so?

Of course, it’s still early in the process of having all providers offer all channels ala carte (that comes in December), but even so it’s beginning to look like customers may end paying the same or even more. There is also talk that the new rules will hurt Canadian programming and end up costing jobs, according to Friends of Canadian Broadcasting.

While the skinny TV packages offer a very basic bundle of channels, consumers also aren’t eligible for certain deals such as “free” receivers and so on.

Despite all the changes to technology and the increased competition from the Internet and programs like Netflix, cable TV remains popular but in an ever-changing world of entertainment, providers need to offer packages and deals that are enticing to consumers. Otherwise, consumers will find other sources for entertainment.

simply because they don’t have access to proper palliative care or suitable mental health supports.

We now await the government’s response to the report in the form of the new legislation called for by the Supreme Court decision. I urge the government to move forward with balance, respect and sensitivity. Above all, the new act must protect the vulnerable in our society.

As the government drafts legislation, they must continue to engage and communicate with Canadians.

Opinion

to the editor

Military aggression has failed Editor, The Gazette: Across Canada on Saturday, March 19, on the anniversary of the invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq in 2003, actions are happening to bring attention to Canada’s complicity in the current wars that flaunt International Law. The battle in Syria is just the latest quest for regime change following Mali, Sudan, Chad, Afghanistan, Iraq, Serbia, Granada, Chile, Nicaragua, Libya, the Ukraine and the list goes on. The resulting destabilizing chaos creates enemies (rebels/subversives/ militants) labelled as such a threat to the West that we’re convinced and compelled to build up military might to combat this supposed danger.

Canada is borrowing millions for a new navy to fight an enemy we never had—until joining NATO. You and I, the people, pay—especially our children, from a lack of funds for good health care, education, and other social programs.

The current NATO and U.S.A. missions are not United Nation sanctioned. Even then, look what happened in Libya: it was only to be a mission

to maintain a no-fly zone but NATO, with Canada in the lead, went for regime change and is complicit in the illegal assassination of Gaddafi which resulted in a nation at war with itself.

NATO continues to play a major role in the West’s interference in other countries’ governments, elected or not, that result in millions of internally displaced people, financial migrants and a growing number of refugees fleeing imminent death.

Canada, as a member of NATO, must and does share the blame for the millions of deaths, refugees and the destruction. Sadly the carnage is not yet over.

This exercise in Syria is another horrendous attempt at regime change, which results in the blood of children soaking the land. We hope it isn’t a prelude to the invasion and destabilization of Iran and other Middle Eastern nations. But, the UN, despite its many shortcomings, remains humanity’s best chance to stop the scourge of war, inequality, poverty, imperialism, etc.

It does need reform so all have an equal voice so that

peacekeeping at the end of a gun becomes peacemaking without violence, force, abuse and fear.

Canada, through you and I, must demand our government withdraw all troops, police and their trainers from the Middle East. We must insist that all parties involved continue to uphold the ceasefire.

And, we must demand that the negotiations continue.

At some point all humanity must wake up to the fact that military campaigns lead only to death, destruction, displacement of people, suffering, global inequality and contribute exponentially to climate change.

Military aggression has failed all people, even the one per cent whether they realize it or not. Only programs and lifestyles offering understanding, respect, honor and equality through non-violent diplomacy can and will bring peace to our very troubled world.

Let’s film future meetings Editor, The Gazette: Re: All the letters about recent community meetings at Christina Lake.

It would seem to me if so many people had such different experiences at this meeting, I would suggest that future meetings be filmed so that the meeting could speak for its self.

I myself see no problem in

making public meetings more public. That way if you were unable to attend, you could watch and perhaps write in your feelings about it. The world is changing and 9-5 jobs are no longer the standard.

Many people do shift work, night shifts, and for our area especially, there are also those who work away from home.

Let’s not also forget that

Saturday

Dinner

March 26 5:30 pm (right after the meat draw) at the

Royal Canadian Legion Branch 59

7353 6th Street, Grand Forks

Roast beef & all the trimmings, includes dessert.

Tickets: $15.00 Available at the bar.

Please purchase tickets prior to Friday.

parents are usually putting kids to bed between 7 and 8 p.m. or having family dinner; therefore, 7 p.m. meetings are not that easy to attend.

If the meetings were filmed and available online or at the RDKB office, people could review them as necessary. I really wish there was a video.

Grant will ‘rescue’ cabin Editor, The Gazette: I would like to publicly acknowledge the $500 grant-in-aid that the Friends of the Bonanza Recreation Area (FBRA) recently received from the Area C director of the RDKB, Grace McGregor.

An equal grant-in-aid has been received from the Area B director, Linda Worley.

This money will be put toward the rescue of the well-known Gordon Keir Cabin that has been used as a day use cabin for the protection and safety of the many users of the Bonanza Recreation Area for many years. All of the restoration work will be done by a very active group of volunteer outdoor enthusiasts.

I would also like to say that I attended the information meeting and public hearing on Feb. 16 at

the Christina Lake Community Hall regarding a proposed senior’s housing project. Since that date, I have been reading letters and articles in the Grand Forks Gazette written by opponents of this project. I think some of these opponents are using inaccurate and fabricated facts in their arguments against this much-needed project and the public process that is legally required for it to go forward.

I believe that Area C director, Grace McGregor, handled both the meeting and hearing with concern, respect and fairness for the opinions of both the proponents and the opponents of this project.

Paul Beattie, Christina Lake

No one would resent orphan Syrian children

Editor, The Gazette: An open letter to MLA Linda Larson Syrian immigration to Canada is very impressive. To date, however, I have not heard any reference to the orphans of Syria.

I believe the many couples who would like to adopt have already waited many years for a child and are still waiting. What would it take/cost to collect information from the office of “Children and Families” to find out how many prospective couples would welcome a child from Syria?

The pros for this are: 1. No accommodations required 2. No English/French language lessons 3. Children raised with an “already Canadian” family a. learn English/French at home b. educated in our school system

c. be integrated into our culture and religion As you are already aware, some Canadians are not in favour of the present immigration situation. The high unemployment and economic uncertainty weigh heavily on many Canadians. It is my belief no one would resent orphan children coming into Canada.

I am asking you to please present this to Prime Minister Trudeau.

This is not only a Canadian/ humanitarian correct thing to do, but also politically correct thing to do.

Anyone finding this an important issue, please email our MLA Linda Larson at: Linda.Larson.

Letters

to the editor

Gateway pursues vision into the future

Editor, The Gazette: A recent article in the Christina Lake News highlighted the Christina Lake grant-in-aid disbursements from 2015 to, among others, Christina Gateway CDA. I’m writing this letter so residents can get a sense of what we do as a non-profit organization.

Before getting into the specifics, allow me to touch on Gateway’s vision for Christina Lake: an economically, socially and environmentally viable community into the future. Our mission is to mobilize the community to address strategic community issues.

Our main goals are to: 1. Increase intra community communication 2. Strengthen community organizations at Christina Lake 3. Strengthen existing businesses 4. Develop and attract new businesses 5. Strengthen marketing of Christina Lake and its attributes, events and business opportunities A grant in January 2015 enabled us to advertise Christina Lake. This fits the broader marketing strategy of promoting our shoulder season activities, in this case, biking trails. As everyone at the Lake knows, we have about 10 weeks of high season followed by a fairly dramatic decrease in both residents and visitors.

If we can cooperate to expand the visiting season by even four weeks to May and October then we will strengthen our main industry and create a healthier local economy.

Homecoming started as a small celebration of seasonal residents returning for another summer. It has grown into an example of small town spirit right in the heart of the high season. Homecoming gives potential new residents a reason to keep coming back and to consider living here full-time.

The Community Newsletter started because we felt that residents didn’t know much about the work being done by the volunteers and non-profits at the Lake. Its purpose is to spread information about everyone who invests time and effort in this community. Submissions are gladly accepted to the below email address.

There is no individual membership to Gateway, only organizations committed to improving our community. At present membership includes the Christina Lake: Stewardship Society; Community Association; Firefighters Society; Fire Department; Arts and Artisans Society; Recreation Commission; Seniors’ Housing Society; and, Tourism Society. Those organizations send representatives to the Gateway Board of Directors.

These grants enable Christina Gateway CDA to pursue the vision of an economically, socially and environmentally viable community into the future. We increased intra-community communication with the newsletters.

By helping the Seniors’ Housing Society we strengthened an organization at our community’s heart. The advertising and promotion through Homecoming and the community promotions broadcast Christina Lake to the world with the aim of attracting new visitors, businesses, and ultimately residents.

Thank you for the opportunity to share some of the work we do at Christina Gateway CDA. Cavan Gates Community Coordinator coordinator@christinalake.ca 250-447-6165

Continued from page 1

the city made an attempt to elicit public feedback on the proposed bylaw before it was adopted by council in November of 2013.”

The report recognized the city’s efforts to engage residents after the decision was made “but we had concerns about the city’s lack of public consultation in advance of the decision to adopt the water meter program.”

“We discussed with the city that if it had consulted with the public prior to approving the iniatitive, decision makers would have been aware of the perspectives and conerns of residents,” the report said.

The Ombudsperson concluded that they asked the city to consider a public participation policy formalizing a commitment to citizen engagement on decision making, recognizing that “decisions are improved when citizens and other stakeholder groups are engaged in the decision-making process.”

The city agreed and on Dec. 14, 2015 council adopted a communications policy and procedures guideline which directs the city to apply the best practices and principles as outlined by the Auditor General of B.C. “Based on the steps that Grand Forks has taken to improve its practice going forward, we have decided to conclude our investigation…,” said the report.

Beverley Tripp was one of the residents of Grand Forks to complain to the Ombudsperson.

“As the Ombudsperson said in the report,” said Tripp. “The complaints were about the process that was followed by the city in terms of rolling out that water meter program. My bone of contention was I didn’t think the city gave the people of the town the adequate input or listened to the input of the people.”

Tripp said although she wasn’t completely happy with the result from the Ombudsperson but she doesn’t anticipate any more follow up. She did, however, send a letter to council (printed in a previous Gazette as a letter to the editor) asking for restorative justice in regards to the Julia Butler court case to help “restore the wronged party’s dignity and includes more than the basic court directive to pay for all her legal costs; and finally, the commitment to desist from any further actions along the same lines.”

Mayor Frank Konrad wouldn’t comment on the report, saying that most of the details of the report are confidential.

Boundary Youth Soccer is now into it’s 6th season of a very successful campaign to offer this exciting game to all kids in the Boundary who want to play Soccer. We have been able to achieve this feat only through the incredible support we have received from our many dedicated volunteers, many who have been with us since 2011 when got started.

Along with our strong volunteer base we are deeply in debt to the ongoing strong, generous and committed support we have received from the corporate community. Without this corporate support we would certainly not be able to deliver our programs year after year to our Boundary Youth. We are most grateful to have both Provincial and Local Government support as well as local business interest in making soccer for our youth a reality.

Chamber elects 2016 board

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce (BCRCC) held its first spring annual general meeting this year.

At Thursday’s meeting, which was held at gallery 2 Art and Heritage Centre, the directors and members present heard from several speakers including Terry Woodruff, new executive director of gallery 2; Alan Cooper, president of the chamber; and Kathy Wright, executive director of the chamber.

Cooper talked about the success of programs such as the Business After Business networking events. He also talked about how the chamber was needing to become self-sufficient, as start-up support from Community Futures tapered off. He also mentioned an exciting new chamber golf tournament coming Oct. 1 at the Christina Lake Golf and Country Club.

Cooper outlined the 2016-17 strategic plan for the chamber which outlines how they want to grow and continue to work and improve community prosperity.

Wright spoke about several programs including the member to member program, which provides discounts for members at participating businesses.

Woodruff talked about taking over as the new executive

director of gallery 2 after the departure of Liz Barron as well as all the exciting upcoming shows.

BCRCC, which covers the entire Boundary, had 95 paid memberships for 2015 including 71 from Grand Forks, 10 from Christina Lake, four from Rock Creek, three from Midway, two from Greenwood and the Board of Trade; and five other. In 2016, the chamber has put out 154 invoices for membership.

After the speeches, members voted for the board of directors.

Seven members were elected with six incumbents (Sylvia Burch, Alan Cooper, Cathy Korolek, John Fair, Shannon Profili and Ken Anderson) and one newcomer (Stephanie Boltz).

Appointed board members are Jeff Fero, Grand Forks Credit Union; Chris Hammett, Grand Forks City Council (non-voting/liason); and Jim Nathorst, Greenwood Board of Trade.

Cooper was reelected as board chair, while Burch was reelected as treasurer. Fair was elected as board vice-chair.

“I think the AGM went really well,” Cooper told the Gazette.

“I was really pleased with how many people we had out and the fact that we had to have an election. That was great. Often times you’re hunting for board members and encouraging people to come out. This time we had more people running than we had positions.”

Cooper said the reason for rescheduling the AGM from the fall to the spring was to make it fit with the bylaws. “It works far better for us to have the annual general meeting in fall.

We thought we would reelect all board members. None of us would have continuing positions. From now all AGMs will be in the fall.”

Cooper said the chamber will be looking for other funding sources as their support from Community Futures expires. “That’s why we’re running a golf tournament in November and are working hard to improve membership and encourage members to purchase chamber of commerce insurance for which we do get a rebate.”

Wright was also very happy with the turnout of 30 members and having 11 names put forward for nine board positions.

She is also pleased with how her job has gone so far.

“I had an amazingly supportive board for my first six months on the job and I’m excited to move forward in 2016 with my new board,” she said.

“BCRCC encourages business and individuals to get involved in the chamber, renewing connections with old and new business relationships. I’d also like to thank our funding partners and membership for their interest in BCRCC and their continued support.”

Prepare for fall—fall fair, that is!

SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Official spring is right around the corner, and that means official fall is six months away. But it’s not too early to finish projects that never seem to get done in time for the fall fair, especially once spring is really here.

Handmade work such as sewing, quilting, knitting, and paintings among others tend

to get put aside as the days get longer. As well as the many usual crafting categories the Grand Forks Fall Fair offers, B.C. Fairs has opened two categories that will be sent from our fair to them for provincial judging: for children’s division (12 years and under), there will be a mini scarecrow competition, using recycled materials; in the open division, there will be a photography competition, with “farming in B.C.” as the

subject.

This will require a montage of four colour photos (5”X7”), mounted; and just a hint, it’s calving season, time for some good pictures.

The Grand Forks Fall Fair is scheduled for Aug. 26-28.

If you would be interested in volunteering for the fall fair for a couple of hours, or a couple days, contact Kelly McIver at 250- 442-3637 or e-mail at grandforksfallfair@gmail.com

Here for all your tax planning needs

Income tax SOS Alas, spring isn’t just the time of year when nature springs to life or when you get to put your boots and parkas away. It is also income tax time. If preparing your income tax return is a real nightmare for you, you should know that there are many resources available that are designed to facilitate this chore.

Tax return software is available in stores and post offices. These allow you to fill out your income tax return on your computer and then send it to the government electronically. The software must, however, be authorized by government authorities.

CALL IN THE EXPERTS Some income tax software offers telephone help lines, either free or with a charge. Government organizations can also provide you with free tax-related assistance over the phone, as well as other services.

GETTING HELP If you are on a low income, you might be eligible for a community program to have your income tax return done for you. Call Revenue Canada or your local community services centre to find out if this is the case for you. During income tax time, some organizations and volunteer groups set up free workshops to help people on low incomes complete their own income tax returns.

Tax laws are complex and are constantly changing. If you believe that your tax situation is complicated, perhaps because you are a landlord who receives revenue from rental properties or because you own a small business, entrust your bookkeeping and tax return to professional accountants. They have the expertise to deal with every tax situation and can help you maximize your savings.

Dishonesty never pays Governments lose billions of tax dollars every year from the income of individuals and businesses, as well as from unpaid taxes. Tax evasion can take many different forms: Tax shelters, undeclared work, excessive tax planning, omitting to submit an income tax return or to declare revenue earned from investments on the stock exchange, etc.

CONSEQUENCES FOR TAX EVADERS Tax evasion has major consequences for those who are caught: it can result in a criminal conviction. If they are found guilty, they could receive a heavy fine, go to prison or end up with a criminal record with all the negative repercussions this situation can result in.

$

CONSEQUENCES FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC This embezzlement of public funds also has consequences for society in general. Governments invest considerable sums of money in attempting to catch poor payers and tax evaders. This money, added to that lost every year due to tax evasion, amounts to a huge loss of revenue for governments. These losses directly affect their level of debt and influence their capacity to provide services and to finance programs in response to the needs of our society; social programs are often the first to be cut. Moreover, law-abiding individuals see their tax burden increased unfairly.

Tax evaders, as much as society in general, are affected by tax evasion. So pay what you owe now before having to pay too much at a later date.

Mimi, a 13-year-old tortoise shell calico cat, has used up every one of her lives.

Mimi was trapped under a truck on a property in Rock Creek that burned during the fires this summer. Mimi and the truck were the only two things that weren’t incinerated the fire.

Although the cat survived, she had extensive damage to her paws. Fortunately,

the staff at Grand Forks Central Veterinary Services graciously donated time and services to help Mimi. In addition, more than $2,000 was raised through a GoFundMe account.

Mimi’s owner Peri Best was so grateful for the help from the vet that she donated a painting she did of Mimi to the veterinary office.

Best donated the painting and shared hugs with the veterinary office staff on Friday.

Survival day was fun

SCHOOL DISTRICT BRIEFS By Craig Lindsay Winter survival presentation Perley Elementary teacher Andrew McKinlay was on hand at the School District 51 (SD51) Board of Education meeting on March 8 to gave a presentation on the annual winter survival day.

On Feb. 4, McKinlay along with other teachers, parents, and over 200 students from grades 4-7 from around the Boundary descended upon Fisherman Creek.

McKinlay said they worked on basic survival skills such as building quinzees (snow forts) and campfires. He said it was a great day of fun and learning.

“The kids loved it,” said McKinlay.

Coding in classrooms McKinlay also gave a presentation on coding (basic computer programming) in classrooms. He supplied trustees and members of the audience with iPads with a program that teaches the basics of coding. Computer coding is one of the components looked at in the new K-12 curriculum redesign, which is being phased in over the next three school years.

McKinlay has his students (Grade 4/5) at Perley work on coding usually with two half hour sessions per week. “They love it,” he said. “There are a few different apps they can use. They can choose their own.

They’re getting good.”

McKinlay also showed off a robotic ball device called Sphero, which the students

program what to do and where to go. Although it didn’t work at the board meeting, McKinlay said it worked fine the next day at school.

“It did work the next day with the kids,” he said. “They can code it. They tell it to move certain distances forward and to turn left or right. You’re actually moving the ball around the school.”

School calendar

SD51 trustees voted on the 2016-17 school calendar including when next year’s Christmas break will fall for Boundary schools. By a 3-2 margin (with Katie Jepsen and Cathy Strukoff absent due to illness), trustees decided on Dec. 22 - Jan. 8.

Before making the decision, trustees discussed the two options, with the losing one being Dec. 15 - Jan. 2. Trustees commissioned a poll of Grade 9-11 students, parents and staff on which dates they preferred. Students were 54-46 per cent in favour of Dec. 15 - Jan. 2; parents were 48-52 per cent in favour of Dec. 22 - Jan. 8; and teachers were 37-63 per cent in favour of Dec. 22 - Jan. 8.

Kevin Argue, superintendent of schools, said that it’s harder to keep kids focused closer to Christmas. Regarding the poll, trustee David Reid said, “If you ask for an opinion, you should use it.”

Board president Teresa Rezansoff said that some families will take their kids out of school to go on Christmas vacations later

In the end, trustees Rezansoff, Reid and Mark Danyluk voted in favour of the winning Dec. 22 - Jan. 8, while trustees Cathy Riddle and Rose Zitko voted against.

The length of the school day for GFSS is seven hours and 14 minutes with 375 minutes (6.25 hours) of instruction per day. At Hutton and Perley Elementaries the school day is six hours and 50 minutes with 342 minutes of instruction per day; while, the length of school day at Christina Lake Elementary is six hours and 47 minutes with 342 minutes of instruction per day.

At Boundary Central Secondary the length of the day is seven hours and 11 minutes with 375 minutes per day.

West Boundary Elementary’s school day is seven hours and 12 minutes with 342 minutes per day of instruction for the elementary side and 375 minutes of instruction per day for the secondary side.

Beaverdell Elementary’s school day is six hours and 57 minutes with 342 minutes per day (Elem) and 375 minutes per day (Sec).

Library plan approved DELLA MALLETTE Grand Forks Gazette

A new strategic plan will serve to guide library operations and activities for the next five years, announced board chair Martin Domeij at the Grand Forks and District Public Library annual general meeting on March 2.

About 25 people came out to hear a review of the library’s year, and its plan for the future.

“A very important step for us this year is the adoption of a new strategic plan,” Domeij said, explaining that as part of the process of creating the plan, the library carried out a survey of a a representative sample of area residents, both patrons and non-patrons. Staff and board members were also consulted, and all the information was analyzed to draft the plan.

“We concluded that, at this time, our course and goals should be the improvement of already-strong service delivery, a broader cooperative reach-out to community groups and a concentration of our capital resources on modest facility upgrades,” Domeij said.

The plan was approved unanimously.

Staff changes marked 2015, most notably Cari Lynn Postnikoff taking over as library director for Avi Silberstein, and the resignation of senior

Three final ways Phoenix ‘spends’ Here are the final three ways the Phoenix Foundation of the Boundary Communities “spends” money.

The Flow-Through Fund is a mechanism created to facilitate the funding of specific projects in the community that require an incorporated organization with charitable status.

These funds do not become part of our endowments, and we do not invest them. We simply receive money and pass it on. So, for example, budget money to operate the Success By Six programs (all across the Boundary area) must be held by an organization such as Phoenix Foundation in order to comply with the expectations of its funder.

Last year our FlowThrough account paid out $49,670 to Boundary Family and Individual Services Society (BFISS) for the Success By 6 program. Funding comes from United Way, Lower Mainland. In addition, in 2015, we sent along $13,950 for the Rotary Spray Park (funds accummulated from local individuals, donating for that specific cause).

Corporate Funds include funds created by Canpar In-

staff member Renee Milaney.

Domeij added, “In particular I want to mention the late Roy Ronaghan.

Roy served on this library board int he early 2000s and he had a very strong interest in libraries and their central, but evolving, role in society. He acted as our chaperone, asking important questions and lending us his advice and council. We thank his memory and example.”

Of note in the financial statement was mention of the city’s commitment to the building, which it owns. In the last five-year maintenance agreement (2011 - 2015), the library has paid the city $15,000 per year—except in this last year, when the city reduced that amount to $10,000. A new maintenance agreement is being negotiated for 2016.

Utilities also were considerably lower in 2015, thanks primarily to an upgrade to the building’s lighting system. “In combination with the previous year’s upgrade to the HVAC system, we can expect even more savings on our energy bill,” said Postnikoff.

“With the strategic plan’s focus on sustainability, this is an accomplishment of which we are especially proud.”

The election to the board of trustees saw all members retaining their seats.

The board is comprised of Domeij, William Caley, David Rostek, Phil Lefkowitz, Wayne Hind, Elise Rimbey, Ralph Russell and Val Rich.

At the time that a new fund is set up, the donor is asked how they wish the revenues that will be generated from the fund to be used. Is this a memorial fund for a cherished person? Is this to be a scholarship fund? Perhaps the donor wishes to help in a more general way, with programs for youth, seniors, the environment, health—or another specific “field-of-interest” fund.

Perhaps donors have a specific organization in mind such as Friends of the Library, Grand Forks Art Gallery or Boundary Museum. Or may-

be they choose simply “general granting purposes” leaving the yearly decision making to the grants committee (more on also at another time).

Some funds remain “donor-advised” on a yearly basis. That is, the person/ people/organization that originally set up the fund did not give permanent instructions regarding where to direct revenues from their fund.

Instead they wish to decide each year how their revenues should be directed.

Because all of the revenues from these funds are directed to scholarships, or organizations etc. the revenues earned and then “spent” have already been reported in the other categories.

The last area of “spending” is administration. Our administration budget is the final way some revenues are spent. Our last budget totaled $30,978.41. Community foundations are among the most “thrifty” organizations (administrative-cost wise)— charging and expensing at very low rates, compared to other kinds of foundations.

Olympians take silver at Games CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

A floor hockey team with four Grand Forks area players picked up second place at the Special Olympics Winter Games in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador on March 1-5. Playing for Team BC Kootenay from the Boundary were Brogan Beliveau, Charlie Kain and Mike Windsor of Grand Forks and Jacob Raschpichler of Christina Lake. Head coach of the team was Derek Taylor of Grand Forks. Filling out the team, which is also known as the Kootenay Storm, were players from Creston, Burnaby and Trail.

The Kootenay Storm won all three games in the round-robin at the Winter Games, beating Vancouver 10-4, Brockville, Ontario 5-1 and Northern Alberta 16-0. The team would then have a rematch with Vancouver in the all-B.C. final. Unfortunately, the Storm fell short falling 3-2 to Vancouver.

Taylor said the opening round games were grueling after having travelled across the country. “When you travel a long dis-

tance and then you get there and have to play, it’s tough,” he said. “It was a really good tournament. We really felt the strong competition.”

Taylor said he would have liked to have seen a better distribution of teams into the divisions.

“The divisioning was a little off,” he said. “I think there were teams in other divisions that got beat up pretty bad that we should’ve been divisioned into so we

could have proper play. It’s not an easy job the divisioning committee has.”

Taylor said after the Storm won their division they advanced to the final game with Team BC-Vancouver. “They actually pulled some upsets to get there and then they upset us to take the gold,” he said.

“We’ve played them several times and they’ve never been close. Our boys played their hearts out. I pulled out all the stops.

It was like the NHL—I loaded the back-

USCC hosts its annual convention SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

The Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ (USCC) held its annual convention on Feb. 27 and 28 at the Brilliant Cultural Centre in Castlegar.

Attending delegates included Executive Committee members, community representatives for the Kootenay Boundary region, representatives of outlying areas (open list), as well as representatives of the many groups and committees within the USCC. Convention delegates expressed their appreciation to JJ Verigin for his service to the membership and organization, and unanimously reaffirmed him in his role as executive director. Verigin thanked the delegates for their confidence and support and pledged to continue efforts to deepen the spiritual understanding, and to broaden the cultural horizons of the organization’s membership, and to strengthen sense of community.

Delegates also expressed their thanks to members of the organization’s governing body, the Executive Committee, including chairperson Peter Zaytsoff of Ootischenia, treasurer Robert Zwick

of Glade, and outgoing members (secretary Michael Davidoff of Ootischenia, Bonnie Strukoff of Delta, Maxim Voykin of Vancouver and Sam Semenoff of Grand Forks) for their effective guidance and prudent management of organizational affairs.

All delegates and members present expressed their gratitude for the dedicated efforts of the outgoing Executive Committee and welcomed new committee members Bill and Liz Pepin, and Dmitri Makortoff of Grand Forks; Jan Kabatoff of Krestova, and Ed Dergousoff of Surrey, B.C. Delegates also welcomed Liana Zwick, who accepted the position of community representative for youth, membership and communications (YMC), Kootenay South.

Delegates thanked the serving community representatives: For Kootenay South Communities, Colin Markin – Spiritual and Cultural Development (SCD), and Ellie Davidoff – interim rep for Youth, Membership and Communications (YMC). For Kootenay North Communities, Edna Sapriken (SCD) and Paul Strelive (interim YMC). For Grand Forks Communities, Barry Verigin

(Interim SCD), Stephanie LeClair (YMC), and Larry Jmaiff – Finances and Asset Stewardship (FAS).

During the course of the convention ably chaired by Liana Zwick, delegates accepted reports from members of the Executive Committee, community representatives and from the many groups and committees within the organization.

Resolutions passed by the delegates included a proposed donation increase of five per cent to local members and 10 per cent to members on the open list; amendments to the USCC constitution acceptable to the Charities Directorate and Canada Revenue Agency (CRA); options to sell property if necessary; and an amended terms of reference for the Champion Creek Forestry Management Committee.

Other concerns that were discussed included making improvements to the Brilliant Cultural Centre and Sirotskoye, the official residence.

Delegates and observers welcomed Ellie Davidoff to her new role as secretary/receptionist at the Brilliant Cultural Centre, and acknowledged with appreciation the diligent efforts of Executive Committee treasurer Rob-

ert Zwick, Theresa Dergousoff, CPA, CA, accounting clerk Fay Malins, and Evelyn Voykin for dealing with the organization’s audit by CRA. Delegates also expressed their appreciation and gratitude to the caretakers of our facilities, Larry Kurnoff, recently hired as caretaker of the Grand Forks Community Centre (GFCC) and Gerry Hoodicoff for his continued attentiveness to the Brilliant Cultural Centre (BCC).

Minutes of the convention were recorded by Ellen Strelaeff of Grand Forks and Marcia Strelaeff of Pass Creek.

All those present on Saturday enjoyed a wonderful luncheon and refreshments prepared by the USCC Kootenay Ladies Organization.
