Hagensborg Water District mails out flyer urging residents to join ‘Cashback’ scheme BY CAITLIN THOMPSON Bella Coola residents received a flyer from the Hagensborg Water District last week on district letterhead encouraging them to join “corporate giant” DubLi Inc. and engage in online shopping. DubLi’s website describes it as a “shopping and entertainment portal.” According to the site, Dubli receives commissions for purchases members make from merchants in DubLi’s shopping malls. The company claims it then pasess this commission back to its members in the form of “Cashback.” The flyer claims that the HWD’s partnership with DubLi under the “Angel Program” will provide the district with a “unique source of long-term funding” that will reduce the need to increase taxes and takes advantage of the emerging “E-commerce industry.” The

flyer details how to join and encourages residents to sign up family and friends. HWD Trustee Donald Mikkelson told CMNews that Rosemary Smart had visited the Valley in late September to deliver a presentation on the Angel Program through DubLi Inc. Smart, who previously held the chief administrator officer position, was recently re-hired in October. Mikkelson said the board decided to endorse the program before Smart was re-hired. “I am always looking at different sources of funding and this program costs the HWD nothing,” said Smart. “I presented it to the board and they liked it. The feedback I’ve had about the program has been amazing.” Under the Angel Program, the HWD offers an “online shopping portal.” Once a customer signs up, a percentage of the

purchase value is given to the HWD in the form of a commission. In addition, the person who signed up the HWD also receives a percentage of the customer’s purchases as commission. Smart said that she is not a member of DubLi, but confirmed in a phone interview that her husband, Jim Smart, is the person who signed up the HWD under DubLi’s Angel Program and therefore will receive a commission each time an individual makes a purchase through the Hagensborg Shopping & Travel Portal. That percentage is dependent on the purchase the person makes, their membership level and the store, as online stores offer differing rates of cash back. When questioned on the possible perception of conflict of interest arising from HWD participation in a program that would directly financially

benefit the CAO’s husband, Mikkelson stated he did not think it was a conflict because taxpayer dollars are not involved. “We need to find funding that does not raise taxes,” said Mikkelson. “If it’s not costing the people we are trying to serve, then I don’t see it as a problem.” Smart also did not see a problem with her husband receiving commissions, comparing it to the same commission he would receive when selling real estate. “Yes, Jim gets a commission. Why shouldn’t he? He set it up for them and did all the work,” she said. “This program costs the HWD nothing. The shopping portal is not funded with tax dollars. How can you lose?” June Vosburgh, HWD user and former president of the Bella Coola Fall Fair Association, disagrees.

“Having been president of a few organizations you become familiar with these things,” said Vosburgh. “Yes, I do think this is conflict of interest.” Bella Coola resident Kevin Booth also believes there is a conflict of interest, saying, “Any time a party acting on behalf of a government engages in activity which directly benefits themselves, family, friends or other associates, they have engaged in a conflict of interest. This seems to be exactly what happened here.” Although there is no specific legislation dealing with conflict of interest for improvement district trustees and employees, the provincial Community Charter provides rules for local government elected officials that should be considered as a guideline for trustees. The Improvement District Manual states: “It is important SEE BOARD ON PAGE 3

Santa By Haydn Nygaard (Grade 5) There was a man that everybody loved. His name was Santa. He was an immortal and he would come to your house and give you presents on the night of December 24th. That was Christmas Eve and By Haydn Nygaard the next day was (Grade 5) called Christmas. There were two boys name Ronald and Haydn. These two were troublemakers. They were always up to something. And this year they were going to compromise Santa. December 21st, are you ready for mission ‘Compromise Santa,’ Haydn asked Ronald. Yah, I’m just scared, Ronald

explained. Scared of what, Haydn asked Ronald. What if Santa catches us? “I’ve heard he’s got a bag of coal for the naughty kids like us”, Ronald said. Then if we get caught it’s my fault, Haydn said. It’s the night before Christmas, Ronald how you feeling, Haydn asked Ronald. Are you ready to compromise Santa, Haydn asked. Yah I’m fine this will be fun, Ronald said sarcastically. Two hours later Haydn asked Ronald, are you ready? More ready than I’ll ever be, Ronald said. O.K. he should be in your house Haydn, Ronald said to Haydn on the phone. Haydn and Ronald ran down stairs. They both saw their parents with their presents and they were labeled, from Santa. Haydn and Ronald ran back upstairs and hoped their parents didn’t see them. In the morning Haydn and Ronald ran down stairs and saw presents in their stockings and under the tree still labeled from Santa. They had French toast and eggs for breakfast and then opened all their presents. They asked their parents why they had the bag of Santa’s presents. Their parents said that Santa was running late so Santa gave Haydn and Ronald’s parents their presents. After that Haydn and Ronal had a snowball fight with their friends and had the best Christmas ever. My Christmas Duck Hunting Trip!

ready to set off. A lot of ducks and geese were there but we needed to get to our blind to hid in. When we got near to the blind we set out the decoy ducks and geese. The tide was low but on its way up, so there soon would be less land to hunt on. That meant we would have to move the decoys so that they were still in range when ducks landed. We were now all set up to hunt! We were ready to start calling. This was the boring part in my opinion. Just sitting there, using this piece of plastic that sounded like a duck, to fake ducks into landing with our decoys. Then a river otter, on the other side of the mouth of the river slipped into the water tried to eat our decoy. But when it got to the decoy it realized that it was fake. That showed me how brutal it is to survive in the estuary. I feel bad for anything that has to try living there. Then a duck came our way and my dad shot at it and missed. Then I should at it and shot it. But that river otter got him well I was going to get it. I guess everyone has to eat. When I got back my dad said, “Where’s the duck?” I said, “The river otter is eating it.” For the next hour there were nothing but gunshots all around. I was very mad at this point because we had not gotten anything in what felt like hours. But while we were sitting there on a hard wooden seat in the cold wet winter air, I realized that the true meaning of Christmas was that me and my dad were together for the holiday and

Hedgie The Hedgehog’s Christmas By Kalvin Knudsen (Grade 5) “Dear Santa,” wrote Hedgie. “Can you please get me underground tube tunnels?” So she got a piece of rope, rolled up the map of the tube tunBy Kaivin Knudsen nels, and tied it (Grade 5) to her letter. She put it in a box and tied the box shut. She began pulling it to the hedgehog post office. After three days of pulling her mail through the snow, she made it!!! On Christmas Eve, Hedgie stood at the window making a wish on the Christmas star. Oh Christmas star, please get me my tube tunnels for Christmas. She went to bed at eleven o’clock that night. The next morning she found her tube tunnels. It was a tube tunnel city. No, it was paradise! No, it was a kingdom!!! SEE MORE STORIES ON PAGE 4

By Kai Gunderson (Grade 6) It was the day before Christmas and there was lots of noise down in the estuary. At this time I was bugging my dad to go duck hunting. After about an hour of By Kai Gunderson “can we go hunt(Grade 6) ing?” He said fine. We got all of our camo on and loaded up the raft in the truck. We drove the truck down to the estuary and unloaded the raft. It was loaded with all our gear and we were

Board appealing to those "already buying online" FROM PAGE 3 to note that even the appearance of a conflict of interest may cause as many problems as an actual conflict.” Mikkelson also said the board was not advocating that people don’t shop locally, but rather was trying to appeal to those already buying online. “This is not taking away from shopping locally,” Smart said. “People have been shopping out of the Valley forever – almost

everybody shops out of the Valley and online.” However, the promotion has riled many local business owners, particularly as the importance of keeping money in the local economy has been recently highlighted. “The Coast Mountain News last week did an excellent 'buy local' feature,” said business owner John Morton. “For the HWD to follow this up just a day later with a 'buy online’ promotion

is amazingly ironic – not to mention a slap in the face to local businesses, of which many owners are ratepayers to the HWD.” The remaining trustees of the HWD did not respond to CMNews requests for comment. At present, there are four trustees: Chair Ken Dunsworth, Chris Matthews, Donald Mikkelson, and Charles Bryfogle. The fifth, Steven Hodgson had resigned as of Dec. 10.

2014 Christmas Writing Contest - continued FROM PAGE 3 The Little Girl’s Christmas By Lily Carlson-Hembruff (Grade 3) This is not a true story Once upon a time there was a little girl she was only six years old. Then her parents said, Are you excited for Christmas? The little girl said what’s Christmas? Christmas is a time for giving and spending time with your loved ones said her mom. And on Christmas Eve Santa goes down every chimney in the world said her dad. How said the little girl? He’s magical, he’s magical said her mom. By the way, what does Santa do when he goes down all the chimneys in the world? asked the little girl. He puts the presents under the Christmas tree said her mom. When is Christmas? The little girl asks. In two days said her mom. When those two days went by the little girl ran down stairs and she saw that Santa did come and from that day on she knew what Christmas was.

The Christmas Dream By Ruby Ratcliff (Grade 5) It’s a day until Christmas and we just put up our tree. Our tree has decorations of all colours and shapes. Some sparkle, some shine but all are beautiful. Now it is time for bed. I didn’t feel

tired but I didn’t want to argue with mom because I want Santa to come and fill my stocking. I got all comfortable with my teddy bear and fell fast asleep. I began to dream. I saw colours and shapes. Then they started to come together. I dreamt about gingerbread houses, Santa and his reindeer. I was walking down a gumdrop path and could see a house in the distance. I wondered if anyone was there, so I knocked on the door. I heard barking but no one answered, so I waited. The gingerbread puppy came out from the back yard. Then the puppy began to run and every six steps he would look back at me. I guess he wanted me to follow him, so I did. We ran through the thick icing because we are in Candy Land. We hit snow after a while and we could also hear Christmas carols. I saw a sign that said ‘Santa’s Castle this way’. After a Christmas minute we got to a candy cane forest. Once we escaped its minty freshness, we got to Santa’s castle. The gingerbread puppy started to bark

By Ruby Ratcliff (Grade 5) and I heard a man’s voice say, “here boy” and the puppy got all excited. We went inside the castle and saw Santa, Mrs. Clause and a gingerbread man beside a sled full of presents. Mrs. Clause said, “You’re a beautiful gingerbread girl.” I said, “but I’m not a gingerbread girl, I’m human.” I looked down and was made out of gingerbread. Then I woke up with my heart pounding. I hugged my teddy bear and remembered, today is Christmas!

After supper was cleared away, Caroline Johnson, who is a new music teacher at SAMS had two of the band students play several carols followed by a small group of community members who sang a few

carols. Sunday afternoon featured a visit by Santa. I noticed a few of the children brought Santa letters or pieces of art work which I am sure he appreciated. We are sorry that some children who arrived late missed him, as he had lots of other places to visit. There were a few vendors who were not able to be there because of weather issues, but other-

Dr. Evan Adams named as Chief Medical Officer of FNHA The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) is proud to announce the selection of Dr. Evan Adams as Chief Medical Officer. Following a Canada-wide recruitment effort, Dr. Adams—who was born and raised in British Columbia and a member of the Tla'amin (Sliammon) First Nation—will assume the CMO position on December 1, 2014. In his role as CMO, Dr. Adams will provide invaluable leadership representing the FNHA while working alongside government partners on health matters in population and public health that affect First Nations and all British Columbians. “It has been a lifelong dream to work directly with First Nations and Aboriginal peoples on our wellness and prosperity at this level. I'm grateful to the Office of the Provincial Health Officer for the past seven and a half years. I feel like I'm coming home,” states Dr. Adams. Adams was previously appointed as Deputy Provincial Health Officer and worked alongside Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall and Deputy

Virginia Alice (Ginny) Stewart McLean It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Virginia Alice (Ginny) Stewart McLean, who passed away on November 27, 2014 at the age of 87. Ginny was born on March 30, 1927 in Wainwright, Alberta, the second eldest of four daughters, to Charles and Ethel Harvey. The family eventually settled in Summerland, B.C., where Ginny met Robert (Bob) Stewart in the sixth grade. They were married shortly after Bob returned from WWII. Son Rob was born the following year, followed by Bonnie, Wendy, Duncan, Eleanor and Donna. Ginny and Bob started Stewart’s Lodge and Camps, a summer fishing resort at Nimpo Lake in the Chilcotin in 1949 and operated it until son Duncan took over in the 1980’s

The family moved back to the Okanagan and took up skiing when Ginny was 40 years old. Ginny and Bob went on many ski trips to the U.S. and Europe, also heli-skiing in the Canadian Rockies. Her favorite mountain was Silver Star, which she skied every winter until her 80’s, volunteering with the Ski Host Program. Over the course of her life Ginny travelled to Europe, Africa, South America and the South Pacific. Ginny loved nature and spent many happy hours hiking, birding and exploring with the North Okanagan Naturalists’ Association. In recent years she joined the Red Hat Rebels with her daughter Bonnie and enjoyed their group outings very much.
