“This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to experience Canada’s diversity,” said teacher and group leader Nick Bond. “The trip has generated some great excitement for our growing French program,” he added. Fifteen students and two chaperones are slated for the trip. The Grade 11/12 BCSS French class has been twinned with College des Hauts Sommets under the SEVEC Youth Exchanges Canada program. The program is aimed at youth groups between

the ages of 12 – 17 from various provinces and territories across Canada. Over 5,000 young Canadians travelled in Canada last year thanks to the SEVECYouth Exchanges Canada program, which is partially funded by the government of Canada through Exchanges Canada and the Department of Canadian Heritage. In addition, several local suppliers and volunteers made a significant contribution to this project. “We are thankful for this community’s generous input and sponsorship,” said Bond. “This is

CROSSWORD

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION

Quote of the Week: A great many people think they are thinking when they are really rearranging their prejudices. – William James (1842 - 1910) Joke of the Week: A husband and wife were driving through Louisiana. As they approached Natchitoches, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town. They argued back and forth, then they stopped for lunch. At the counter, the husband asked the blonde waitress, “Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are very slowly?” She leaned over the counter and said, “Burrr-gerrr Kiiing.”

Government ends claw-back The province came out with a new budget last week. Good news for rural areas is the firm goal of expanding high-speed Internet access to all of BC. The downside is that they set the target date as 2021 for it to happen. So in the meantime keep recycling your tin cans and string to the folks who live up Christian Valley and along Hwy 33. The BC Liberals have finally ended the claw-back on child support payments for single parents on welfare. It is estimated this change will to put some $13 million in the hands of some of the poorest British Columbians. The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives calls it a good step forward, “but it is very, very small.” The CCPA points out that $13 million is three hundredths of one percent of the provincial budget. In contrast, the richest 2 per cent of British Columbians are getting 17 times more (or $227 million) with the phase out of the tax bracket at $150,000. Another criticism of the budget from the CCPA is that BC remains the only province in Canada without a poverty reduction plan. “There is also no money in the budget to increase income assistance rates, which have been frozen since 2007,” says the CCPA. This is despite the fact that the bi-partisan committee of MLAs who conduced this year’s pre-budget consultations unanimously recommended these in the pre-Budget consultation report that the government introduce a comprehensive poverty reduction plan, and review income assistance rates, the minimum wage, and clawback of child support payments. “The government deserves credit for ending the clawback of child support payments from income assistance,” remarks the CCPA report, “but that is one of the cheapest items on the list that affects the fewest people. What about all the others?”

Event noise brings concerns

A theme for the annual fall fair, some complaints about late-night noise and some heated discussion about the rental rate charged local non-profit groups were all on the agenda of the February meeting of the Rock Creek and Boundary Fair Association last week (Feb. 18). The theme for the 2016 Rock Creek fall fair has been set: “Celebrating 101 of the Rock Creek Farmer’s Institute - Sow it. Grow it. Show it.” Concerns were again raised by residents living near the fairgrounds about the noise and hours of operation for the Association of Injured Motorcyclists Boogie Bash and the Ponderosa Music Festival events. Both contracts were accepted by the membership as proposed by the board. There will be no change in hours but the draft meeting minutes state that work will continue on ways to mitigate the noise. The Boogie Bash will take place over the August long weekend. They will pay $7,000 (same as last year) and shutdown time is 1 a.m. Friday through Sunday. The Ponderosa Festival will run from Aug 21-23. The rental fee has increased from $3500 to $3800 and they can run the stage from 1p.m. to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, and from 1 p.m. - 12 a.m. on Sunday (same as last year). Members of the Bridesville Women’s Institute (WI) came to the fair meeting in hoping to amend the rental rate policy for local non-profit groups after they didn’t qualify for a 25 per cent discount on their rental of the pavilion for the Christmas Craft Fair. In March of 2014, the fair association adopted a rental policy that would allow a 25 per cent discount off posted rental rates for local non-profit (Area E) groups to rent the facilities for non-fundraising events. “We felt this policy was fair and gave our office manager a clear guideline for the rental of facilities,” fair secretary Rachael Lautard told the Times. “This way the board of direc-

tors would not have to get involved in debating discounts every time the building was rented.” When the Bridesville WI sent a letter to the Board in January requesting a discount they were told that only nonfundraising events would continue to receive a discount. The WI replied with another letter stating that all of the money they raise is donated back to the community and they wanted it discussed at a general meeting. Lautard said that the board feels that if any local non-profit is renting the facilities for a fundraiser they should charge their patrons accordingly to cover the costs. Louise Fossen made a motion on behalf of the Bridesville WI that the “non-fundraising” phrase be removed from the rental agreement policy for all local Area E non-profit groups. “I guess the bigger question is: Are the fair facilities part of a community centre or not,” asked Fossen. Fossen said she had talked to other local groups that feel the same. “We are just asking that local non-profit groups that volunteer at the fair be given a break on rentals. Bridesville WI donates to the fair, scholarship fund, W.B.E. breakfast program, 4-H and many others as the need arises. “The board seems to be overly concerned on giving us a break as it might set some precedent. We understand that the fair has a lot of expenses but we think some of those expenses can be covered by fair income, not on the backs of the local non-profit volunteers.” After nearly an hour of discussion Fossen withdrew her motion and the policy will remain in place. “I withdrew the motion because they started to discuss whether it should be Area E or not,” explained Fossen. “We felt is should be for groups that volunteer at the fair.” Next meeting will be on Wednesday, March 18 at 7 p.m.

Greenwood falls short at water competition medal winner Clearbrook, BC won the bronze. “The consistency in winners from year to year with different panels of judges validates the choices,” remarked perennial watermaster, Arthur von Wiesenberger. “It also speaks to the impressively high caliber of the waters entered.” “It was another wonderful year for the longest running and largest water tasting in the world,” said von Wiesenberger. “Berkeley Springs is the granddaddy of them all.” The 26th annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting is scheduled for Saturday, February 27, 2016.

Greenwood water talks dry up Greenwood Mayor Ed Smith broke the news at Monday’s council meeting. Negotiations toward establishing a water bottling plant in Greenwood have ended. “Some bad news I guess,” the mayor said as he began his report to council on Monday night (Feb. 23, 2015), “but at this point I can tell you that the water deal for the City of Greenwood is finished. In December we sent a letter that if we did not receive a reply by Jan. 16th as to their intentions we would consider the deal was over. We have not heard anything. That does not mean that we will not pursue other sources. The people worked hard at trying to get a deal and all is not lost. We have a framework to pursue other possible deals and I will have a full report at the next meeting on this issue.” City asked to endorse watershed plan Graham Watt, coordinator for the Kettle River Management Plan, came to council asking their support by resolution for the plan. He told council the plan contains four broad strategies, 18 directions for management and 59 actions to be undertaken by stakeholders. The city is being asked to commit to consideration of the plan in rel-

In fact, today you can obtain insurance policies that are truly adapted to your home, your car, and your life. With house insurance, for example, it is wise to have a policy that covers all your assets. In addition, for your peace of mind, you can choose a policy that offers services such as psychological help after a major fire, legal assistance in case of litigation with a neighbour, etc. As for car insurance, it is important to carry sufficient coverage. In addition, some companies now offer road-side assistance, which is more or less comprehensive: full-time assistance in case you run out of gas or have a flat tire, coverage everywhere in Canada and the United States, several emergency assistance calls per year without

supplementary fees, etc. It is up to you to shop around for a car insurance policy that includes the services that will make you feel safer. As well, if you fear getting sick one day and your condition being dependent on the delays that are inherent in our health care system, you should know that supplementary health care insurance is now available. As well, you can decide to acquire insurance against a serious illness, so that the disease does not put you in a precarious financial situation. Finally, life insurance can be a tool for planning your retirement as well as a way to reduce the amount of tax your heirs will have to pay after your death.
