Midway RCMP are asking for the public’s help in location a missing Rock Creek resident. Col-leen 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 where-abouts of Col-leen Smith is urged to con-tact their local police (Midway RCMP 250-449-2244) or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

FireSmart session well attended

More than 50 West Bound-ary Area E residents congre-gated at the Rock Creek Fair-gounds on Saturday to take part in a FireSmart orientation session aimed at introducing property owners to the fire-pre-vention program.

A non-profit, community-driven initiative, FireSmart Canada helps train people liv-ing 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 Bridesville-based Quintech Fire Services principal Darren Hutchin-son 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 Pro-tection Officers Alvin Boyer and James Katasonoff, as well as regional director Vicki Gee, who helped organize the event.

During the six-hour session, residents were provided with expert opinion on the nature of wild fires, supported by a se-ries of videos depicting the risk to structures during a wildfire and highlighting which mate-rials are more resistant to such an event, as well as a point-by-point breakdown of the steps required to make a home fire smart. Attendees were pro-vided with a comprehensive FireSmart package and given ample opportunity for ques-tions and input during the ses-

sion. Residents came from all cor-

ners of the West Boundary, in-cluding Beaverdell, Westbridge, Bridesville and Rock Creek, to hear Thomson outline the rela-tive ease with which his com-munity attained its FireSmart accreditation.

Anarchist Mountain was struck by a devastating wildfire in 2003, prompting residents to take steps to help protect their homes from such an oc-currence. In 2013, a FireSmart committee was formed, helping people learn how to make their homes safer. An emergency communication system was also developed.

Throughout the presenta-tion, both Hutchinson and Thomson stressed the fact that if neighbours combine their efforts with a common goal in mind, making homes and neighbourhoods much more resistant to fire damage can take as little as an afternoon and cost very little.

Among the most logical, yet often over-looked precautionary measure to protect a structure from a wild-fire is the simple trim-ming or removal of foliage within a dis-tance of 10 metres

from the building. Making sure that trees are thinned out and pruned from the ground up to a height of two metres can sig-nificantly decrease the risk of a fire spreading. During the Rock Creek fire, which, tragically il-lustrated how most residents were unprepared for such an event, the fire raced unabated up tree trunks into the foli-age canopy, which rendered it largely uncontrollable as it moved quickly along Highway 33, leaving dozens of flattened homes in its wake.

In addition to foliage man-agement, which includes ground cover control, keeping a lawn green or replacing grass with gravel or stone can signifi-cantly temper the effects of an approaching fire, in some cases halting it entirely as it is denied fuel. The use of wood siding and roofing alternatives such as metal or fibre cement, to name but two, can also go a long way

in providing a house with opti-mum fire resistance.

The West Boundary FireSmart initiative will get underway on May 7, which marks the second annual Na-tional Wildfire Community Preparedness Day, on which communities across Canada are encouraged to participate in lo-cal mitigation projects to help reduce the risk of wildfire dam-age to their homes and neigh-bourhoods.

West Boundary residents will tentatively be gathering at Freeman’s Country Supply in Rock Creek to receive some hands-on training with prun-ing equipment before setting off for the day to begin making their neighbourhoods much safer in the event of a wildfire. Those wishing to participate or require information regarding the project are asked to contact Vicki Gee of the Regional Dis-trict of Kootenay Boundary.

FireSmart Continued from page 1

Provincial government sta-tistics indicate that approxi-mately 3,000 people reside in the Regional District of Koote-nay 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 trav-elled Highway 33, which makes the availability of cellular tele-phone 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 con-sistently utilize 911 services.

“Most residents now have cellular telephones,” said Sar-sons, “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 resi-dents’ frustrations with cell phone service, Sarsons has set up an online survey designed to gauge the degree of the disatis-faction and present the results to both Telus and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Area E/West Boundary Direc-tor 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 Sar-sons, “but in my opinion, the lack of communications dur-ing 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.”

Letters Policy

The term “flogging a dead horse,” if my research is cor-rect, was first used by English politician and orator John Bright in the late 1800’s to describe the futility of attempt-ing to rouse Parliament from its apathy regarding the Re-form Act of 1867. It is a term which continues to have, albeit through a somewhat egregious depiction of violence, some usefulness when describing an individual or group’s refusal to let a matter be and, in somewhat gentler terms, “move on”.

I observe this type of reluctance on a regu-lar basis as a reporter, be it at council meetings, through emails and letters I receive and vari-ous other portals. People often become fixated with matters that may or may not directly impact them or stand to make their lives better (or, for that matter, worse) and seemingly get so wound up about them that they in-evitably make themselves look just a little foolish.

Recently, one fellow voiced his frustration at a local professional being regularly featured in the newspapers, asking those around him if the expert in question was some sort of “god” (or words to that effect), and ridiculing the size of the payment that was made to him for, in my estimation at least, some pretty tricky business concern-ing nature and water, two extremely contentious issues not only in the Boundary but certainly province-wide.

I just don’t get it. If you want a difficult (or any) job done well, you have to pay for it, and that’s what happened in this case. Let it be, move on, don’t keep flogging the dead horse.

~~~I was surprised to hear of Rock Creek resident Colleen

Smith’s disappearance earlier in the month; I just heard about it on Monday, though was soon thereafter contacted

by one very concerned friend who hoped I could help in the matter somehow. Of course, I couldn’t do much, though the friend did bring up some interesting points about Facebook’s potential role in unravelling this “mystery.”

Firstly, she pointed out that Colleen had “unfriended” a number of her online friends, which, in my mind at least, illustrates some degree of intent on her part. That and the fact that she had packed up many of her belongings

prior to her “isappearance and it’s difficult to conclude that this case is anything but sinister.

However, the friend also suggested that Smith’s where-abouts could surely be discovered through the decipher-ing of IP addresses, which could, perhaps, pinpoint the physical location of the computer or smartphone from which messages were sent. I’m no expert in this IT area, but I tend to agree with her friend and, perhaps, that’s ex-actly what the RCMP are working on at this very moment.

I hope the mystery is solved soon and Colleen is found safe, because otherwise, as a reporter, I will likely be asked to continue “flogging a dead horse” and, as is often the case, will simply begin to look foolish.

Though really, does it matter what people think? Is not reality more relevant than perception? I think so.

Next week: some of my favourite English recipes.

You have to pay for a job done well

With the announcement by the province of a pro-posed law that would provide police with the authority to arrest people who refuse to evacuate their proper-ties 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 whatev-er steps were deemed necessary to prevent that crime from being committed. That includes the use of regis-tered 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 repre-sent a life’s work, and, at least if the government gets its way, B.C. residents may face being dragged, likely kick-ing 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 threat-ened homes while the owners are arrested and forcibly removed, and it is easy to understand why those indi-viduals 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 financial-ly compensating civilians during a fire-fighting cam-paign.

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 of-ficials are quick to condemn such vigilantism, it is dif-ficult to imagine what firefighters would have done without the numerous residents who sprung into ac-tion as soon as the fire hit.

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

“If we had been forced to evacuate, we would have de� -nitely—no doubt in my mind—lost all of our places,” said Mi-chael Fenwick-Wilson, who fought to save his home dur-ing the Rock Creek wild� re in 2015.

Last summer 30 homes were lost to the � re during one of B.C.’s worst wild� re seasons to date.

As part of proposed revi-sions to the Emergency Program Act, the province is considering giving the RCMP the authority to arrest people like Fenwick-Wilson who refuse to leave un-der similar circumstances.

� e province argues that people who stay despite evacu-ation orders put emergency workers at risk when situations become increasingly dangerous and require a rescue.

Manitoba was the � rst prov-ince to enact similar laws, in

2013, according to the document out-lining the proposed changes.

“It’s unenforce-able for the most part. I mean, the [jail] cells aren’t big enough in the area,” Fenw ick-Wi ls on said.

Fred Marshall, a professional for-ester who trains people how to pro-tect their properties from � re, also says he’s against the pro-posed change.

“Many of us people here in the Boundary, we’ve been here for years. We’re pretty well-experienced, and know what to do,” he said. “You would have to arrest us all.”

� e province was accepting feedback on the changes until last Friday.

Minister of State for Emergency Pre-paredness, Naomi Yamamoto, will present the feedback to the Cabinet Committee on Secure Tomorrow on or before March

31, 2016.With � les from Brady Strachan

GREENWOOD SENIORS’ ASSOCIATION

� ank YouThank you to all the people that came to support the Greenwood Seniors’ Chili Sale.

Special thanks to Jean Klinosky for making the buns and to Nancy Yamamura for the lovely cake.

Our next big meal will be soup, homemade buns, tea or coffee and dessert all for $6.00. Held at the Seniors’ Centre on March 17, 2016 from 11 am to 2 pm. Hope to see you all there!

Founder’s Day will be July 9Greenwood council

sat for its regular meeting on Monday.Councillors’ reports

Councillor Ashton at-tended the Greenwood Board of Trade (BOT) meeting, where Founder’s Day was announced for Saturday, July 9. Can-ada 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 of-fered 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

the successful removal of a beaver dam and subse-quent reinforcement of the banks of Boundary Creek, a project overseen by Fred Marshall and public works

foreman Randy Smith. The bill for Mar-shall’s work came in at $600.Mayor’s report

Mayor Smith reported that Jim Mad-der is the city’s temporary financial of-ficer, with acting CAO Wendy Higashi working alongside him during the budget process. Smith suggested that business is moving along in a positive direction, in-cluding negotiations with city employees, whose contracts expire at the end of Feb-ruary.

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

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 consider-ing the impact of last year’s fire.CAO Report

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 sat-isfy the city’s audit requirements. Mon-ies from the sale of the slag total over $50,000, an account which, like all other separate accounts, must have a bylaw at-tached to it. Council agreed that research into the bylaw was needed, which Coun-cillor Lang agreed to help with.

GREENWOODCOUNCIL

The Midway Volunteer Fire Depart-ment (MVFD) has a new command ve-hicle 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 dedi-cated to the department. For more than 25 years, Osallame has used his own per-sonal vehicles to respond to incidents, for which he neither asked for nor was pro-vided 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 con-versation between the two departments, Minburn generously offered to sell the ve-hicle 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 re-sponse to emergency situations.”

The vehicle will be used by the fire chief within the fire response area while on duty, and the deputy incident com-mander 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 inspec-tion, 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 clubMembers 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, re-sulted 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 summa-rized 2015 as a very challenging year for

the KVGC. Notwithstanding the effect of the Rock Creek fire on the club’s business for three weeks during one of the tradi-tional 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 usu-ally pristine state.

Adding to the fire and weather condi-tions was the rash of thefts that plagued the club throughout the year, which has, in recent years, been an ongoing prob-lem for the KVGC. There was some di-cussion regarding the hiring of a resi-dent 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 dis-may 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 ex-tremely 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 improve-ments include an overhaul of the irriga-tion pumphouse, and several trees are slated for removal due to insect infesta-tion 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-per-mitting, in early spring.

Scammers don’t quitRecently 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 Com-mander 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

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 by using its official telephone number for individual tax enqui-ries: 1-800-959-8281. If you believe you may be the victim of fraud or have given personal or financial informa-tion in error, contact police and your finan-cial institution.

George MiltonScales

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 grand-children, 38 great grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild, along with his brother Jim Scales and sis-ter 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 trade-mark 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.

The Rock Creek Women’s Institute, currently celebrating its centenary, provided refreshments, snacks and lunch for a large crowd of West Boundary residents who attended a FireSmart orientation. All unused food was donated to Vivien Browne and the Food Share program. (From left) Judy Watson, Vivien Browne, Mary Cannon and Brenda Schmalz. PhoTo: NoRMA TIlgNeR

WI awards calendar proceedsThe 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 provid-

ed 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 spe-cial 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 certifica-tion at the one-day course.

The Federated Women’s Institutes of Canada (FWIC) in partnership with the International Peace Garden invites ap-plications for the FWIC Peace Garden

Scholarship Program. This initiative will provide a leadership opportunity for a young woman (18 -22 years old) from each province across Canada to partici-pate 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 in-terested in leadership, marketing, social media, horticulture, public relations, arts, inspiring others, and positive social change. Community and volunteer ex-perience are assets. The deadline is April 15. More information may be found at www.fwic.ca.

Snowmobile ride in Brousseau’s memory

The Boundary Snowmobile Club will be hosting its inaugural run-ning of the Dave Brousseau Memo-rial Poker Ride on Sunday, Feb. 28.

Boundary Snowmobile Club (BSC) members and guests will be gathering at the bottom of Pass Creek Road up the North Fork val-ley for a day bound for fun and adventure as parties ride up to the Pass Creek cabin, scoring the best poker hands to determine the day’s winner.

This is a fundraising event for the BSC with all proceeds going to-wards the maintenance and build-ing of new/existing trails and cab-ins within the local riding areas, said club president Derrick Pankoff.

The  BSC  is  a  non-profit  organi-zation and currently operates three wilderness cabins and numerous trails throughout the riding areas. The club strives to promote safe and sensitive operation of snowmobiles in the backcountry and on the trails

This year’s event includes a trib-ute to long-time Grand Forks resi-dent and local pioneer of mountain sledding Dave Brousseau, who per-ished in an avalanche in 2008.

Sign up starts at 9 a.m. till 10:30 a.m. at the bottom of Pass Creek Road (20 kilometres up North Fork Road to Brown Creek Road). There will be food and prizes available at the cabin. Everyone is welcome.

The Snowmobile Club’s poker rides are popular. This year’s will be the inaugural running of the Dave Brous-seau Memorial Poker Ridge.Submitted photo

Hospital fee $1 for minersChronicles of Boundary Country from the pages of� e Boundary Creek Times Volume VII, No. 11 – No-vember 25, 1899

� � e Smelter Bonus – Editorial - “� e British Co-lumbia Cooper Company’s request for a production bo-nus from the City of Green-wood is an extremely mod-est one. When the site for a smelter was yet undeter-mined, the company could have asked the city for a sub-stantial bonus and the elec-tors would probably have granted the same in order to secure the smelter near the city. � e company, however, refrained from doing this.

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

� Boer War Update – “Winston C h u r c h i l l and the � � y-six men taken prisoners by the Boers at Estcourt have been sent to Pretoria to be held with the Dublin Fusiliers. General Methuen with a large force of men is moving on Kim-berley where Cecil Rhodes is beleaguered.

“� e detailed account of the battle at Ladysmith on the 9th says: Boers loss, 800; the British loss was slight.”

� A Doctor for Phoenix – “� e Greenwood hospi-tal has decided to give at-tendance and admission to the hospital if required for those working in the mines at the rate of $1 per month. Dr. Slack, until recently con-nected with the smelter at Great Falls, Montana, has associated himself with Drs.

Jakes and Op-penheimer in Greenwood, and will open an of-� ce in Phoe-nix. � ere, an emergency room will be established so that prompt treatment may

be accorded those working in the mines.”

� � e Slater Shoe – Ren-dell & Co. is advertising the sale of the Slater shoe with some very interesting obser-vations and promises.

“When a good man swears on a wet day, it’s more than likely the profan-ity comes from his feet. � e shoe that pinches spoils the temper, irritates the nerves, impairs digestion, and ob-scures ‘the merry sunshine of life’. Success or failure in life o� hinges upon a man’s mood at critical moments, and the way his feet feel sometimes sways destiny.

“A pair of Slater shoes may unconsciously save a fortune. It’s cheaper to throw away a shoe that hurts than to keep it, and mark this – new Slater shoes need no breaking in.

“A tag on each pair tells just what leather it is made of, how it will a� ect the feet, and the wear it will or will not give, according to use. � e maker’s name and price stamped on the sole protects against imitations.”

� More on the Fold-ing Bathtubs – Further to a previous advertisement for the Quaker thermal folding bath cabinet, Mr. R.H. Mof-fat, agent for the device, now claims in another advertise-ment that “the cabinet is the most powerful and e� ca-cious agent yet devised by modern science for cleans-ing the skin, purifying the blood, promoting healthful and natural functions, and relieving the excretory or-gans.”

AL DONNELLY BLASTSFROM THE

PAST

Partnership funds total $226,600We’ve been discuss-

ing the ways the Phoenix Foundation “spends” its revenues. Here’s the next one.

Community partnership funds—revenues of which one could say also contrib-ute to “community grants”, since the three towns (Christina Lake, Green-wood and Midway) have processes in place to use the revenues from their funds to support groups in their com-munities.

� e total value of the three partner-ship funds is $226,600.02 (again, totals approximate).

Grand Forks, while it does not have what we call a “partnership” fund, fea-tures in this more general area of com-munity funds, so I hope I don’t confuse you by � rst talking about the funds es-tablished with the Vancouver Founda-tion.

Greenwood, Midway and the Phoenix Founda-tion (general fund) estab-lished funds in the fall of 1997 with the Vancouver Foundation, making use of a generous opportunity provided by the Vancouver Foundation, which matched donations that communi-ties raised.

� is year (2016) these funds will provide approximately $4,000 each to Greenwood, Midway and Grand Forks communities for general granting pur-poses.

Christina Lake established its fund much later, in October 2011, with funding provided by the Regional Dis-trict of Kootenay Boundary, through the advocacy of Area C director Grace MacGregor.

� at fund did not have the bene� t of being “matched” and its current value is approximately $6,200. As you can ap-

preciate, in this case, the income rev-enue generated will not yet allow for signi� cant 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 organiza-tions 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? � e City of Grand Forks is one of Phoe-nix Foundations most treasured do-nors, and did donate $100,000 as part of celebrating its Centennial Year, and contributing to the vision of a vibrant community. � at 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 foun-dation that could. � e money donated by the City of Grand Forks is part of our Phoenix Foundation general funds, which provides a signi� cant share of the monies available for community grants.

about the Phoenix Foundation of the Boundary Communities by checking out our website: www.phoenix-founda-tion.net. We have a quick and easy-to-use “donate” button that can produce an immediate receipt for income tax purposes for you. � ere is a grant ar-chive that lists every community grant Phoenix Foundation has ever distrib-uted.

Event all about winter wellnessLast Thursday, Boundary Central Secondary students partici-

pated 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 storytell-ing by artist David Seven Deers at Stektahl, the Learning Circle.

The event was sponsored through a grant from the First Na-tions 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 Bound-ary 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 individ-uals, families, and communities through themes such as healthy eating and connection to school and native elders.

GFI baseball returns for 35th event

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 base-ball 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 remark-able history.

Even though he has not been to Grand Forks, he said the following: “You are indeed correct that your tour-nament 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 out-standing 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.
