Storytime for Literacy Day Family Literacy Day is a national awareness initiative created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999 and held annually in January to raise awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family.

Upcoming CBAL events in the West Boundary include: Free Computer Skills Mini-Lessons from noon to 3 p.m. over three days, Tuesday through Thursday Feb. 10-12 at the Boundary Learning Centre above the public health office in Midway at 540 Seventh St. Laptops will be available with Internet connectivity.

CROSSWORD

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION

Quote of the Week: You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers. – John J. Plomp LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION

Joke of the Week: Some guy bought a new fridge for his house... To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: ‘Free to good home. You want it, you take it.’ For three days the fridge sat there without anyone looking twice. He eventually decided that people were too mistrustful of this deal. So he changed the sign to read: ‘Fridge for sale $50.’ The next day someone stole it!

FOREIGN ASSET REPORTING --- IT AFFECTS YOU! You may be wondering if and how changes to the T1135 Foreign Income Reporting Form may affect your tax filing. In prior tax years the reporting of foreign investments or properties was simplified because of certain exemptions, many of which have now been removed. So which foreign investments or properties now fall under these new rules? The following will provide an explanation as to which investments and properties you need to report to CRA - the basic rule being that you must report specified foreign property that costs more than $100,000 CDN. What is “specified foreign property?” • Shares of non-resident corporations held through a Canadian or foreign broker. • Shares of a Canadian resident corporation that are held on deposit with brokerage firms or agents outside of Canada. • Foreign property that does not produce income (if the cost of the land is more than $100,000). • Real estate that is not held for “personal use and enjoyment” (this is where it gets complicated): o You own a four-unit property outside of Canada and hold one unit specifically for your personal use and enjoyment and the other three units are rented out. If all the units are roughly the same size and value, the property would be specified foreign property and you would need to report the entire cost amount of the property on the T1135 because 75% of the property

is rented out for profit. The entire four units would not be considered personal-use property. o You own a house in Arizona that cost $230,000 and is rented out eight months of the year with the expectation of making a profit. You use the house four months of the year for personal use and enjoyment. You would report the property on a T1135 as specified foreign property because it is not held primarily for personal use and enjoyment. • A life insurance policy that is issued by a foreign issuer. • Investments in non-resident mutual funds. What specified foreign properties do not have to be included on form T1135? • Specified foreign property that is held in registered plans such as RRSPs, TFSAs, IRAs or Roth IRAs. • Personal-use property, generally defined as property owned by a taxpayer, and a related party, used primarily (>50%) for personal and enjoyment purposes. • Canadian mutual funds. • Property used or held exclusively in the course of an active business. • Property that you have no expectation of making a profit on, such as a condo you are renting out solely to recover condominium costs (if it is held primarily for personal use).

Contact your professional tax accountant for further information to ensure that if these new rules affect you that the appropriate information is included in your return. Failure to comply, or filing an incomplete T1135 Foreign Income reporting form is subject to rather punitive penalties.

Sky is falling Are machines going to turn on us humans one day? It has been a story line in popular film and fiction for decades. But now even such advanced thinkers as physicist Stephen Hawking and Tesla Motors and SpaceX founder Elon Musk are beginning to cry that the sky is falling. According to a CBC article filed by Emily Chung, the event that Hawking and Musk fear is “singularity”—when machines surpass humans in general intelligence, not just in beating us at games like playing chess or Jeopardy, as they have already. But the military also plows several trainloads of dollars into AI research each year and there is always the danger they might develop autonomous weapons and semi-autonomous drones. Legislation against technology would require enforcement; and as we all should know by now, if it comes down to enforcement of laws we should just fold our tents and go home. Ask anyone concerned about something so simple as enforcing a pooperscooper law on the sidewalk and you see how difficult it can become. Right now the military uses drones to strike targets in the Middle East. These drones currently have a human being on the kill-switch. But technology is advancing rapidly and the amount of information being fed into the computers is soon going to make the human being the slowest part of the decision process. At that time, military intelligence (an oxymoron if ever there was one) is going to argue that the button be taken out of the loop and that the computer should make the final decision. I guess we should just count our lucky stars that they haven’t hooked those new-fangled computers up to nuclear missiles yet.

Letters to the editor

Become spray-free, Canada Editor, The Times: An open letter to B.C. Attorney General Suzanne Anton Justice needs to be seen to be done. We have legislation for a reason. If there’s no enforcement there’s no motivation for a large corporation to do the best they can.

Farm crops and household gardens are being destroyed because of pesticides used in Canada. The implications of pesticide use are profound for humans and the ecosystems. When millions of people are poisoned each year, I expect the government to take action. It is time Canada became a “spray free country.” Gladys Brown, Midway

THE RACE IS ON! Kettle Valley Racing Association 6th Annual Snowmobile Drag Races Volunteers and organizers started working at the Midway airport last weekend in preparation for the 6th annual Boundary Snowmobile Race. This Friday the fencing and other ﬁnal touches will be put in place and all will be ready for the gates to open at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning. Organizer Darrin Metcalf says that a lot of sleds have pre-registered and registration will continue from 6 to 9 at the track on Friday and again at 8:30 on Saturday morning. They are expecting over 50 sleds again this year, drawn by a purse that might top $2,000 this year. The Kettle Valley Racing Association sponsors the annual race as they continue to work toward their goal of an oval dirt track in the West Boundary.

Wishing all the competitors a great race!

Above: Some of these sleds can hit speeds of over 125; and the big turbo machines are clocked at over 140 km/h on the airstrip.

When the sled leave the starting line they call it a launch; and it is every bit that exciting and more! Photo by Jolly McMynn

Start your engines and enjoy the day!

Metcalf said there will be 14 classes this year with opportunities for kids and adults alike to get their thrills. The start is done with an armdrop just like on the Pinks TV show. There will be campfires conveniently located for the spectators to stay warm. And if you get hungry the Grad 2015 class is running a concession stand to raise funds for their graduation. Kettle Valley Racing Association has about 20 members according to Metcalf. They and a squad of dedicated volunteers make the day happen. Metcalf credits the community itself for stepping up in a huge way to support from races each year. In past years, the Boundary Citizens on Patrol radar gun has shown the 800 cc sled can attain speeds of over 125 km/h and the 1,000 cc machine clock in at over 140 km/h. The first race will get started at 11:30; or as soon as all of the paperwork is in order – whichever comes first. In the 2010 inaugural race, organizers were elevated to the same status as the International Olympic Committee in Vancouver when they had to truck snow to the airport for the event. In the past, racers have come from South Slocan, Christina Lake, Castlegar, Rossland-Trail, and Grand Forks; as well as the Okanagan. Race organizers are planning separate races for men, women and youth. See you at the Midway Airport, located at Cleghorn and 7th Avenue.

Selkirk catalogues in the mail Submitted

A wealth of Selkirk College community education and workplace training (CEWT) opportunities are currently arriving to mailboxes throughout the West Kootenay-Boundary region. Creating educational experiences that inspire lifelong learning is an important part of the Selkirk College vision and the winter and spring calendar is a cornerstone of making it happen. There are hundreds of courses available in the 112-page booklet that includes offerings between January and July. “There is so much going on at Selkirk College,” said CEWT Manager Gregg Neelin. “When you flip through the calendar, the scope and depth of the programming that we offer is amazing. I

think some people might be surprised to see just how much is in there.” From learning to make fused glass jewellery to occupational first aid to ballroom dancing, the winter and spring Calendar is thick with courses that appeal to a variety of interests. Selkirk College works closely with local employers to ensure the workplace component of the course offerings match the skills required in today’s West Kootenay-Boundary economy. Selkirk College has campuses and learning centres in Castlegar, the East Shore, Grand Forks, Kaslo, Nelson, Nakusp and Trail. With hundreds of community instructors offering their expertise, the course offerings are spread throughout the region and throughout the next seven months.
