The two-tiered rate structure implemented by FortisBC in 2012 is discriminating against those who do not have access to the cheaper natural gas to heat their homes. That was the message brought to about 30 West Boundary residents who turned out for a meeting at Midway Community Hall last week. The Anarchist Mountain Community Association (AMCA) and the West Boundary Sustainable Food and Resources Committee (FAR) sponsored the meeting. AMCA president Mark McKenney came with Nick Marty to deliver the case against the current two-tiered billing system applied in the province. Marty is an Anarchist Mountain resident who retired from a career as a senior energy advisor to the government of Canada. He spent the last 18 years before retiring working to develop policy and programs aimed at energy conservation. But when he looks at what was put in place in B.C. he says the BC Utilities Commission dropped the ball when they approved the plan. About a year and a half ago he started writing letters to the BCUC and the provincial government. The responses he got were disappointing so he, under the umbrella of the AMCA, took his argument to MLA Linda Larson last December. Through her efforts the minister of energy has now been in communication and Marty has had a meeting with ministry staff.

Marty said a follow up conference call with the minister is scheduled for April 14. The two-tiered rate system is formally called the Residential Conservation Rate (RCR). It is supposed to encourage conservation by charging a lower rate for the first 1,600 kWh of power used in each two month billing cycle. Any power used above that threshold is charged at a higher rate. The system was meant to be revenue neutral—meaning that FortisBC would not bring in more revenue than under the old flat-rate billing system. Marty said that, properly designed, the threshold would be set at a level that would put about 10 per cent of your consumption into the second tier about block two should only be applied to about ten percent of your electricity consumption. That should encourage everyone to reduce their consumption by this 10 per cent target. “The problem is that there are two fundamen-
tally different types of customers in the province,” explained Marty. He said that 77 per cent of the homes in B.C. have access to natural gas to heat their homes and hot water. So the average urban customer, using only 1,400 kWh, saw their bills go down, while rural customers are paying the higher block two rates for as much as 75 per cent of their power. Marty cited a FortisBC report filed with the BCUC that showed 68.5 per cent of their customers were billed less than they would have been under the flat rate. He said it is a simple law of economics: if prices go down, consumption goes up. Therefore Marty argues the RCR is not maximizing the potential for energy conservation. He suggests the threshold for those living without access to natural gas should be more like 6,400 kWh every two months; and for urban dwellers it should be closer to 1,200. • See TWO-TIER page A3

Landfill fees on the rise Landfill tipping fees rising Midway Councillor Marguerite Rotvold warned council at their regular meeting on Monday, March 16 that landfill tipping fees are increasing. Landfill closure and liability reserve funds must be established for the Grand Forks, Greenwood and Trail landfills, at a cost of $2.2 million over the next four years. She said the Environmental Services Committee has budgeted $600,000 for 2015—coming from MultiMaterials BC (MMBC) funding, changes to recycling services in Beaver Valley and an increase in tipping fees from $95 to $110 per ton. Resident wants to retain mobile home zoning Midway council received a letter from resident Barry Poirier complaining that the rezoning of his lot at 516 Border Place has reduced the chances of his being able to find a buyer for the property. He said his intention has always been to place a new

manufactured home on the lot and that the developing on that lot was done to accommodate a 14’ x 60’ (4.26 x 18.28 metre) manufactured home. “The positioning of the permitted garage, shed, water, sewer, electrical, telephone and cable are all in and paid,” wrote Poirier. “All these improvements were done at a great expense keeping in mind the zoning at that time, and was done long before the zoning was changed.” He asked the property to be classified as legal nonconforming to allow the placement of a manufactured home on it. “We were preparing for the future, building a new home on another lot by ourselves. It took three years.” Council voted to receive and file his letter.
Community Forest deal finally signed Mayor Randy Kappes told council that the West Boundary Community Forest (WBCF) agreement has been signed, as has a forest management plan with the Osoyoos Indian Band. He said Vaagen Fibre Canada is managing the community forest and contractors would do the logging. WBCF will host a public meeting April 14 at 7 p.m. in the Midway Community Hall to let residents know of their plans for the coming year and to get their input. Village wants more arena funding Councillor Marguerite Rotvold reported that the regional recreation committee has recommended a $5,000 grant to the Phoenix Ski Hill. She told them her mandate from council was not to support the motion unless there was an increase for the facilities run by the village (arena, library and museum). Rotvold asked council to
Two-tier rate system
Marty calls ironic the fact that a major rationale for having BCUC regulate electric utilities is to ensure that rates are non-discriminatory. “So, BCUC is violating the conditions of its own mandate,” he asserts. He suggests possible fixes would be to: a) Set a higher block threshold for those customers with no access to natural gas b) BCUC could return to a flat rate for those customers with no access to natural gas and continue two-tier pricing for remaining customers c) In the longer term, BCUC could move to time-of-use pricing as is being done in Ontario. It was pointed out that time of use pricing would require smart meters; and a number of people at the meeting said they were not in favour of those. He said his goal is not special treatment for rural customers. “As rural residents we realize we have higher energy costs because we live in a rural area. We are just asking them to stop making a bad situation worse.” The group has an online petition, which can be found at tinyurl.com/outzukv. FortisBC has filed two RCR reports with the BCUC; the most recent in November. Marty is eager to see the BCUC response to that report. If BCUC says everything is fine with the program, as they did last year, Marty said the group will urge the government to provide policy direction to the BCUC to bring the RCR into line with their mandate. Marty said the way ahead would require both action and community champions. He urges B.C. residents, regardless of whether they are FortisBC or BC Hydro customers, to sign the online petition. McKenney said AMCA welcomes groups in other communities to help set up meetings in their locale. Vivien Browne of the FAR society reported several homes in the area suffering hardship. She said government policy encourages low-income families to move to the area, but there is a lack of adequate rental housing and the power bills they

give her the go ahead to propose an amendment to the recreation committee budget recommendation that would see the Phoenix Ski Hill grant removed. They gave her that support and staff will provide her with figures on how much the museum and library cost the village to operate each year. According to Rotvold, regional recreation currently gives the arena $16,330 annually. But she said if they are going to give $5,000 to the ski hill then they should increase the amount given the arena. Rotvold said the regional recreation grant to the hill was first given in 2014 and that former Area E director Bill Baird had paid Midway’s share rather than raise the arena funding.

Some of those present at the meeting shared details of their mid-winter bills under the RCR. One West Boundary couple using wood heat with electricity for backup saw a $1,000 bill. A Beaverdell couple that rely solely on electricity for space heating opened their last bill to find themselves owing $1,980 for the two-month billing cycle. Another Beaverdell resident showed a bill for $778, with almost 73 per cent being charged at block two rates. A third was billed $670, with two-thirds being charged at the block two rate. Marty urged everyone to sign the petition; write to the government, BCUC and Fortis; and to contact their MLA. “We believe this can be fixed. We think this can be changed so it would be fair.

Volunteers should be insured West Boundary Road Rescue has asked support of local governments in their fight for compensation and insurance coverage when flagging at accident scenes until Ministry of Highways flagging crews relieve them. Provincial policy states that, “Flagging is only authorized for ensuring the safety of the emergency services personnel involved in the removal of the subject(s). Once the subject(s) are safely extricated, flagging is no longer covered.” Road rescue would like that changed so they are funded while flagging until a Highways flagging crew is on scene. They also ask that coverage by WCB, accidental death and dismemberment, and liability insurance cover road rescue groups until suitable traffic control, flagging from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is in place. In the past WBRR has remained on scene providing flagging for the safety of RCMP and ambulance personnel. It may be Ministry of Highways responsibility to provide flagging but if they are not on scene and road rescue is, it would make sense to use road rescue crews if they are already there. They are trained and have the equipment. The alternative is to leave the RCMP and ambulance emergency personnel at an accident scene without proper traffic control available. This is not the way to protect and respect those who stand ready, day or night, to rush to aid those in trouble on our highways. For the sake of our loved ones, the government should allow road rescue to provide the service until flaggers paid by Highways are on site. These volunteers should be covered by insurance while providing the service. The quarrel between two government offices over who should pay the bill should be sorted out later.

Thank you for supporting minor hockey playersw Editor, The Times: On behalf of the South Okanagan Minor Hockey Association’s three rep teams who are playing in the B.C. Hockey Provincials, we wanted to take the opportunity to thank the communities who have shown overwhelming support and pride in these players who live in Oliver, Osoyoos, OK Falls, Keremeos, Midway, Greenwood, Princeton and Grand Forks. Without the support of our communities, minor hockey would not be what it is. We are so proud to represent
the beautiful communities of the South Okanagan and all the players are wearing their jerseys with pride. We want to thank everyone who has come to our games and cheered the teams on, donated and are cheering us on back home. These players are making memories that will last a lifetime. Some of them and their families may not have had the opportunity to attend provincials without the support of our wonderful communities. Words cannot express our gratitude
and thanks for the support, kindness and tremendous generosity of our great communities. We are so touched and proud to live in and be a part of the best communities in our beautiful province.
Go, South Ok, Go! Our sincerest thanks, Angela Paolera, Vanessa Kriese and Brianne Hillson, on behalf of the midget rep, bantam rep and peewee rep players, coaches and parents

Minor injuries in accident
On Sunday, March 15, Midway RCMP were dispatched to a single vehicle accident on Highway 3 three kilometres east of Midway. The vehicle had gone off the road into the rock face and ditch. RCMP Corporal Judson Mayes said the accident was due to slushy road conditions. He reported there were minor injuries sustained by the male driver; however, an ambulance was not called. The accident did not require any road closures. Sydney Storie Midget Predator – #3 Forward Age 17 Weight 58 kg Height 173 cm “I have played hockey all my life and love the sport,” Sydney told the Times. “Unfortunately, due to the fact I suffered another concussion during a hockey tournament, I was unable to complete the season.

Spring Financial Planning Check-Up As the snow begins to disappear and thoughts of warmer weather become reality, an update to your financial plan may be in order. Now might be a good time to take a look back and think about all the changes that you and your family have experienced over the past year and plan for any updates needed to your financial plan. Any major changes, whether they are personal or professional, can have a significant impact on your family’s insurance needs. A spring time review of your situation will help ensure that you have adequate coverage. If your family has grown, or you plan on getting married this year, your responsibility now extends to another person. Be sure to expand your life and disability coverage accordingly. A divorce, serious illness, or death in the family may also require you to adjust your insurance and estate plans. If you have changed employment or are expecting a raise or promotion soon, then your financial plan needs to be updated. With higher income come higher financial losses to your family if something were to happen to you. If you have lost your job or retired, then it is crucial to replace your group insurance benefits with a personal plan. With rising costs, perhaps you have taken on more debt. If you have purchased a new home, a new car or borrowed to renovate your bathroom, make sure your insurance is adequate to cover all liabilities and interest payments. Spring time is also a good time to give your mutual funds and investment portfolio a check-up. With RRSP season over, it may be a good time to rebalance your portfolio and ensure that your investments meat your risk profile objectives. Consider starting contributions to a Tax Free Savings Account. The more you save on a tax free basis, the more funds you leave in your pocket and out of the tax man’s coffers.
Matt Moline Senior Novice Predator – #17 Defence and Forward Age: 7 Weight: 27 kg Height: 134 cm Matthew has been playing hockey for three years. He enjoys fishing, swimming and hunting. He also loves riding his horse and dirt bike with his sister. His favourite food is steak and his favourite colour is green.
If appropriate for your investment strategy, consider selling your nonregistered portfolio of holdings that are in a loss position. A capital loss must first be used to offset the tax on any capital gains realized in the same year. Any remaining loss can be applied to gains from the previous three years or used in the future. It is important to seek professional advice to determine the best strategy for your situation. December 31 is the deadline to contribute to a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) for your children, grandchildren, nieces, or nephews so that you qualify for the Canada Education Savings Grant for 2015. Recent government budget changes to RESP rules raised the amount on which the CESG is paid to $2 500 from $2 000. So if you contribute $2500 before the end of the year, your RESP will get an extra $500 from the CESG. The budget also eliminated the annual contribution limit and raised the lifetime maximum contribution to $50 000 from $42 000 per beneficiary. If you turn 71 this year, you have until December 31, 2015 to convert your RRSP’s to a Registered Retirement Income fund. Your income, however, can be deferred until the next year to allow you time to start budgeting this extra income for tax purposes. Professional guidance in all these circumstances is essential and can assist you in keeping your insurance, investment and estate plans up to date and allow you to take advantage of any opportunities that may arise.

The preemie hats are to be made of 100per cent acrylic yarn, and should be sized to fit an orange or grapefruit (according to information on the Internet). The following
Knitting needles have been clicking in the Boundary. A busy group of crafters sent about 50 hats to Vancouver Children’s Hospital in January. A hearty thank you was sent back with a request for preemie hats so the needles started clicking again and within two weeks this tableful of toques was produced.
Recipe for a Preemie Hat
3mm needles, scraps of baby yarn
Cast on 56 stitches Work one inch of K2P2 ribbing Work 2-3 inches of stocking stitch Dec as follows: row 1: K 3, k2tog, repeat across row. Purl even on next and alternate rows.

The 59th annual Midway Men’s Bonspiel has come to be almost the sole event of the curling season at the Boundary District Curling Club in Midway because of mechanical problems that shut the rink down last Dec. 5. What was thought to be an $8,000 refit became a $28,000 job with the club having to scramble for dollars to get it back in operation. They finally got the ice in on March 5, one day ahead of the 2015 bonspiel. “Our goal was to be up and running for the men’s bonspiel and then curl for whatever interest there is for the rest of the month,” said club president Kim Lindseth. This month of operation will be a shakedown of sorts, making sure the new chiller unit works perfectly. To help cover the costs, a number of the club members paid their dues as a donation; others provided refundable donations. Grants and donations also came from other organizations and local government. The result is a plant that should be good for another 20 years though, Lindseth said. The equipment in the rink is essentially brand new because the brine pump had been changed out in September before the season began. Twelve teams came together to play in the 2015 Men’s Bonspiel. Winners of the 59th annual Midway Men’s’ Bonspiel are: Rink 1A Kevin Maffioli Dave Bartlett Bob Vanderbyl Rob Darrah

Chronicles of Boundary Country from the pages of The Boundary Creek Times Volume V, No. 15 – December 17, 1898 ➤ Licensing Court – “Hotelkeepers were treated to their quarterly lecture at the regular sitting of the licensing court. The theme for this quarter’s lecture was gambling in licensed hotels. The commissioners had found tables with holes in the center in all but one hotel—and while none of the hotelkeepers were charged with allowing gambling, they were told to avoid the appearance of evil. “Tables with holes in the center were intended for gambling purposes and the commissioners did not license gambling joints, they licensed hotels.” Another licensing issue came before the court when “A. Bourke’s application for a hotel license for the Ottawa House was refused. An objection was voiced by the police magistrate when he stated that the building was not fit for a hotel. The court was not going to grant a hotel license for a shack.” ➤ Mistaken Identity – “Mr. Wick-

Every Christian has vital part to play From the Back Pew ”Just saying”, by the sometimes irreverent Ed Brouwer. No claims of absolute originality are made for this material. As one man said, “I milk a lot of cows, but I churn my own butter.”
Believe it or not, every Christian has a vital part to play in God’s plan for man kind. I Peter 4:10 As every man has received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. It is hard to imagine, but thousands of God’s dear children think that God can’t use them in a mighty way. They are often heard saying, “I know Jesus can use others ... but He could never really use me.” We read over and over again about the shortage of laborers....even in this very hour the work of the Lord is being greatly hindered because of the reluctance of His children to roll up their sleeves and get personally involved! It is not uncommon to hear people putting themselves down. How many times have you asked someone what they do and after a short moment of silence they shrug and say something like: “Oh, I’m just a cook, or I only fix cars.” It is as if they are saying— “I really don’t do anything important.”
Unfortunately this mentality has drifted into the church. Far too many of God’s children look to others and say, If only I was talented like that, or if I had their gifts. Somewhere along the line we began to give out a false idea that those in “Public ministry callings” are the only ones that God can really use. To have a different calling does not mean it is a lesser calling! There’s not one of God’s children who can’t be used if they are fully yielded to Him. No one is useless in God’s Kingdom! No matter what you can or can’t do God has a job for you.... It is not your ability but your availability that God looks for! Folks, this may not be too deep or too profound... But the Work of the Lord is just that - it’s a lot of work! There are countless jobs needing to get done, so few willing to do them. Our response as true Christians ought to be... “God if you need me just point me in the direction you’d have me go.”
The back bone of the church is ordinary people doing ordinary things. God looks for ordinary people to do—that’s it! Romans 12:6-8 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teaches, on teaching; Or he that exhorts, on exhortation: he that gives, let him do it with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness. Besides the occasional opportunity to tell someone about Jesus, most of God’s children feel like they are literally wasting their lives away. They are bored and discouraged. I‘ve got good news for you! God not only can use you, He is waiting to use you ... if you’ll only let Him. Please understand that it is you as a person not your ability that makes you valuable to God. God raises up people as He sees they are ready .... not before. Please understand that there are not better ministry responsibilities, just different ministry responsibilities. Colossians 3:23 .. whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men; Matthew 5:1 Climbing Companions

Shoot draws rifle, trap shooters
(Above) Midway resident and long time KWA member Wes Bryan sits at a shooting station at the clubs’ rifle range. (Right) Ken Hesketh looks on as Dale Eek takes a shot at the KWA trap line during a meat shoot last weekend.
The Kettle Wildlife Association (KWA) combined the turkey/fun shoots for both rifle and shotgun last weekend. The day brought out about a dozen competitors shooting rifle and another 27 shooting trap. There were both novice and open classes. A terrific lunch was served, something the club has become well known for. The trap club held a shoot the preceding weekend that trap secretary Geoff Fern said brought in some new members. There were 29 meat prizes awarded before lunchtime on the March 14 shoot. Fern said that every discipline at the club is active: rifle, shotgun, pistol and archery. KWA has conservation as its primary focus. Current KWA club president Les Best said he was pleased with the turnout. The club is planning another shoot for kids in early April. This Saturday night the clubhouse will be a hive of activity as the KWA hosts the 2015 Wildlife Banquet. This popular event is undoubtedly sold out by now, so if you haven’t bought your ticket yet, you had better be well connected.

MAYOR’S MESSAGE SPRING 2015
Attending courses for newly elected mayors and councilors and sitting on RDKB with many meetings has kept me busy. With the arrival of spring, people are looking forward to gardening and hopefully golf. I would like to see all of Greenwood looking like a park this summer. I hope that you will all take advantage of the spring clean-up that we offer. We are hoping to finish the budget for 2015 soon and please remember that you are all welcome to attend these budget meetings. It looks like we have a busy summer ahead with Founder’s Day, a car rally, BCATV Jamboree, Blue Grass Festival and others confirmed so far. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all our new residents in Greenwood. As the Easter bunny is just around the corner, I would like to wish you all a very Happy Easter with family and friends. Mayor, Ed Smith

compost regularly SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS BEAR AWARE •• Turn Pick ripe fruit and fallen fruit daily Please do not dump paints, petroleum based oils, medications, or unwanted chemical CHECKLIST • Burn off the barbecue grill after each use into the sewer system. Very small amounts of these chemicals can disrupt the wastewater treatment process resulting in increased cost, odours and labour. The chemicals and medications eventually end up in the groundwater affecting its quality as well. Homeowners please do not pump water from your basement sumps into the city sewer system. The wastewater treatment facility and collection system are currently working beyond their engineered design flows. Emergency conditions could ensue during the spring freshet if owners don’t comply. Please place your garbage bags in garbage cans so birds and animals don’t tear the bags open. Randy Smith, Public Works Superintendent
