Turning the stones into soup

Community Foundation’s Stone Soup Challenge gets underway at Sally Ann TRE VOR CR AWLEY

It was a matchup that pitted a seasoned master of the culinary arts against a student who is just taking the first step in her journey to becoming a chef. However, it was youth that prevailed in the opening round, as the Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Challenge kicked off it’s second annual event on Tuesday at the Salvation Army Soup Kitchen. Lindsey Waugh (Hot Shots Cafe) and her Turkey Chickpea with Brazilian Flavours won by the slimmest of margins at 33-32 votes over Doug Wagner (St. Eugene Golf

Resort and Casino) who challenged with a Snack Pack Chilli. What makes the significance of the Snack Pack, you ask? Each chef brought a mystery ingredient that the other chef must use in their soup or pay up $50 to get out of using that particular item. Waugh thought her Snack Pack pudding might be just the trick to throw Wagner off his game, however, the chocolate-based pudding was actually a helpful ingredient towards getting to the final product of his chilli.

Cranbrook ski racer to compete in Europe Continued from page 1

Casselman qualified for the event in January after notching the fastest time at U16 male in Western Canada at the Topolino time trials. Casselman will be part of a six-member Canadian male and female team. Topolino is the biggest and most competitive of all international FIS junior ski racing competitions in the world. In the past, there have been over 40 nations represented at the event. In addition to the race in Italy, Casselman has also been chosen by Alpine Canada and sponsored by Longines as the male representative at the third annual Longines U16 Future Champions ski race in St. Moritz, Switzerland on March 15. He will be competing in a two-run giant slalom race on the bottom section of the world cup race slope on the day before the Audi FIS Ski World Cup finals

Topolino is the biggest and most competitive of all international FIS junior ski racing competitions in the world. Photo contributed. at the same ski resort. Each of the countries participating selects one junior male racer for this event. It’s been a long road

for Casselman in the competitive ski racing world. He has been skiing since he was two years old and racing since he was six.

Over the course of his burgeoning racing career, Casselman’s biggest accomplishments have included being the BC U14 pro-

vincial champion in 2014 and finishing second overall at the 2015 U16 Can-Ams. Casselman has also been a member for Team Can-

ada for the 2015 Whistler Cup, where he achieved top-10 finishes in each of the three disciplines of Super G, giant slalom and sla-

lom. Casselman would like to thank Fischer, Uvex and Swix for their sponsorship.

Stone Soup chefs kick off competition Continued from page 1 “As soon as I saw the pudding, and I saw that it was chocolate, I know that I always finish chilli and really heavy tomato soups with chocolate, so immediately, I figured, ‘I could use this’,” Wagner said. “I think it turned out really good, using the chocolate.” Wagner received five extra votes for his use of Waugh’s mystery ingredients, but it still came down to a loss by a single vote between the two chefs. For her part, Waugh took the advice of her instructor at the College of the Rockies, Chef Tim Curnow, who suggested the pudding as an ingredient that could ruin a soup. “Apparently pudding doesn’t ruin a soup,” joked Waugh. “I’ve learned my lesson…It was fun.” Wagner presented some tuna as his mystery ingredient that

Waugh had to use in her soup, however, she opted to pay the fine to get out of using it. She had an idea of what kind of soup she wanted to make before coming into the soup kitchen, but it wasn’t until she started hunting for ingredients that she knew it could be a challenge. “I knew I wanted to make a Brazilian-style soup, which my main ingredients would be coriander, orange juice and cumin,” Waugh said. “They had a tiny little bit, maybe a teaspoon, of cumin, no coriander and Five Alive. “So, I knew I had to come up with something else really quick.” However, some taco seasoning seemed to do the trick, and it was off to the rest of the kitchen stores from there to gather vegetables, turkey and the rest of the ingredients.

Chef Doug Wagner, with St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino, left, and Chef Lindsey Waugh, with Hot Shots Cafe, kick off the opening round of the Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Challenge on Tuesday at the Salvation Army Soup Kitchen. “It was super nerve-wracking, but I had fun,” Waugh said. “Once I got going, I figured I’ll just try to do the best job I can and that’s all I can ask for. It was such an honour to work with Doug, too, because he’s such a great chef.” A few things are vital to making a good chil-

li—even if it includes some chocolate pudding, said Wagner. “It’s just the richness and the body,” he said. “I didn’t tell everybody out there, but it’s a pure vegetarian chilli, so I didn’t want to push the vegetarian because I didn’t want to lose votes on the fact that there was no meat.

“But if you can make a good hearty chilli on the background and really build those flavours, you can’t even tell what’s missing.” Wagner, who participated in the Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Challenge last year, knew what he had to work with in terms of expected items and the

facility, however, he was intrigued by the twist of the mystery ingredient and spent a lot of time thinking about how he could use anything that might be thrown at him. “So, with the secret ingredient round, I kind of figured, if I’m thinking these ingredients are going to be evil, then everybody else is,

so I spent a lot of time trying to think of ways to use tuna or black olives or pitted cherries and all sorts of the horrible things you’d never put in soups,” Wagner said. “So I think the pudding was quite a pleasant surprise.” The event is a fundraiser — the second annual — for the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation general endowment fund and the Salvation Army homeless shelter project. The Challenge involves eight chefs competing over the next three weeks. Next up for the Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Challenge is Graham Barnes of Max’s Place, who will be up against David D. Hull, a celebrity amateur chef and executive director of the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce. The two will go head to head on Thursday, Feb. 18th, at the Salvation Army soup kitchen.

Fire crews work to contain a blaze that engulfed a residence on the corner of 13th avenue and 8th street on Friday afternoon. The lone male occupant of the house, later identified as Aldo Scarpelli, died in the fire.

Man found dead after house fire in Fernie is identified Leah Scheitel The Free Press

A 69-year-old man found dead after a Fernie house fire has been identified by the BC Coroners Service as Aldo Scarpelli. At 4:44 p.m. on Feb. 12, Fernie Fire Rescue responded to the report of a structure fire. The structure fire was a house on the corner of 8th avenue and 13th street. Upon emergency crews arrival the home was fully engulfed in flames. Responding to the call was five units, comprised of 16 firefighters as well as additional emergency services. “After the initial assessment

it was determined that the home was beyond saving and our role would be to operate in a defensive mode,” said Fire Chief Ted Ruiter. A defensive fire mode is determined when it is unsafe for crews to enter an occupancy. “Fire crews focused their efforts on saving the adjacent home and were successful in doing so,” said Ruiter. The adjacent home did suffer some damage due to its proximity to the blaze, however the extent of the damage was not specified and appeared to be minimal. While authorities cannot confirm the cause of the fire,

bystanders and witnesses say they heard an explosion outside of the residence. According to one witness, the explosion was so loud she thought two semi trucks had collided outside of her home. Witnesses also reported seeing an unresponsive male in a covered walkway at the front of the home. The man’s dog was safely secured outside of the residence at the time of the fire and was not harmed. The Fernie Fire Department was able to extinguish the blaze and worked into the evening to ensure it was safe for investigators. A RCMP Forensic team was able to exam-

ine the remains of the residence on Saturday morning. Investigators have ruled out foul play as being a factor in the fire and the man’s death. The man’s remains were removed from the residence on Saturday and next of kin has been notified. Due to the death of the occupant, Fernie Fire and Rescue is currently assisting the Coroner’s Office and the RCMP with the ongoing investigation. A memorial for Aldo Scarpelli will be held on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the Catholic Church in Fernie.

Stranded snowmobilers found safe near Revelstoke Cpl. Dan Mosk aluk District Advisory NCO

The boyfriend of a B.C snowmobiler erred on the side of caution by reporting his girlfriend as overdue on Sunday evening, after the woman failed to return as planned from a day of sledding in the Revelstoke area. The Revelstoke RCMP received the info and activated Revelstoke SAR Sunday night. The woman and two of her friends were rescued early Monday morning after getting stranded and off course. At around 9 p.m. on Sunday February 15 2016, the Revelstoke RCMP received a report of a Kelowna woman being overdue from a day of snow-

mobiling in the Boulder Mountain area. The woman was expected back to Kelowna that evening and when she failed to return on time the man called the RCMP. RCMP located the woman’s vehicle parked in the Smokey Bear area parking. The RCMP immediately activated the Revelstoke Search and Rescue Team was immediately activated that evening. SAR mustered in the area with 18 technicians, of which 13 remained on the mountain that night to commence searching and in preparation for the search to resume the following day. The Search effort resumed early Monday morning and included one helicopter that was

able to fly into the area. At around 9 a.m., the three snowmobilers were spotted and with a radio being lowered down to them communicated that they were in good condition. The woman and her friends had gotten off course and had become stranded in a terrain area where the trio would not have been able to get out of without assistance from Search and Rescue. The three were safely air lifted out and brought to an awaiting ambulance to be checked out. “The search and rescue effort was quite intensive given the terrain encountered by the SAR technicians, once again highlighting the skill level and ded-

ication, of the area SAR volunteers” stated Cpl Dan Moskaluk. “The group was in good shape as they were properly equipped with the required emergency backcountry gear and food. They had made a shelter and kept warm with a fire. Area familiarity and knowledge are key factors to staying safe while enjoying the backcountry and it is one thing that you have to keep an eye during your excursions and take into account in your trip planning.” For backcountry safety information and training please visit www.avalanche.ca/more

Team Buchy off to mixed provincial curling championship in search of national berth Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Kimberley will once again be represented by Tom Buchy’s rink at the AMJ Campbell Van Lines B.C. Mixed Curling Championships. Buchy’s rink, featuring third Lori Buchy, second Dave Toffolo and lead Robyn Toffolo qualified for the annual provincial mixed tournament Feb. 6 by defeating Trevor Qually’s rink out of Cranbrook in the Kootenay regional playdown. “It’s great, every year we get together we hope to get through provincials because it gives you another chance,” Tom Buchy said Tuesday. With a decisive 8-1 victory in seven ends, followed by an 8-5 triumph in eight ends, Buchy defeated Qually in back-to-back contests to earn a trip to Qualicum Beach — host site for the 2016 mixed championship slated for March 3 to 6. Buchy represented the Kootenays at the 2015 edition of the event, falling in the finale to Team Joanisse (Royal City/Gold Ears Curling Club). “It would have been nice to win last year,” Buchy said. “But that didn’t happen. It’s the start of a new year. We probably don’t really look back at what happened last year too much.

“There have been other years where it hasn’t gone too well, so it’s just a new year.” Having finished second last year and previously claimed the provincial mixed crowns in 2006, 2010 and 2012, Buchy’s rink once again stands as a contender heading into the 2016 championship. “You’ve definitely got to be playing at the top of your game,” Buchy said. “As in any provincial, you need a few breaks. The three times we’ve won, we played very well, but that being said, we also got a few breaks. That helps you along the way.” The winner of the 2016 AMJ Campbell Van Lines B.C. Mixed Curling Championship will earn a berth into the 2017 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship. The 54th edition of the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship is scheduled for Nov. 14 to 19, 2016, at the Mariners Centre in Yarmouth, N.S. “We are excited to be given the opportunity to host this national curling event in Yarmouth,” said Rick Allwright, host committee chair and president of the Yarmouth Curling Association, in a Curling Canada release. “Yarmouth is well known for hosting great events and the opportunity to host this event within our arena is going to be amazing.”

This will mark the first time Yarmouth has hosted any Curling Canada championship. The Canadian mixed championship has been hosted in Nova Scotia on two prior occasions, both at the Mayflower Curling Club in Halifax (1977 and 2002). Buchy said his crew is particularly excited at the prospect of competing in Nova Scotia, having previously attended national championships in Whitehorse, Yukon (2007), Morris, Man. (2012) and Montreal (2013). The 2016 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship was hosted at the Weston Club in Toronto (Nov. 8 to 14, 2015) and was claimed by Team Alberta, which prevailed over Team Saskatchewan. Team Buchy wished to extend its thanks and gratitude to its generous community sponsors and supporters, including Stephen Rota Management Inc., Coal Valley Motor Products, Assante Wealth Management, Caliper Hydraulics, Canadian Tire Cranbrook, Maple Leaf Forest Products, ABC Country Restaurant, Prestige Hotels and Resorts, B and B Glass, Coors Light, Sun Life Financial - Frank Vanden Broek, Kootenay Insurance Services, Remax Caldwell Agencies, Tyee Homes and the Kimberley Curling Club.

Buchy rink comes up short at men’s provincial curling championship Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The 2016 Canadian Direct Insurance B.C. Men’s Curling Championship didn’t go exactly to plan for Tom Buchy and his Kimberley-based rink. Team Buchy — featuring skip Tom Buchy, third Dean Horning, second Dave Toffolo and lead Darren Will — failed to qualify for the playoffs at the 2016 men’s provincial championships — hosted by the Nelson Curling Club — after going 2-3 during round-robin play. “We missed a few shots at the wrong time and we had a few bad picks that gave opportunity to the other teams,” Buchy said Tuesday. “We had a couple teams in trouble and a few bad picks allowed them to get off the hook. “It was an enjoyable year. At times, we played very well. It’s just a matter of the teams being really good when you get to provincials. Everyone

has the same goal so everyone is playing their hardest. You just have to be on the top of your game in order to make it through and win. “Now you go back next year, start over and try to bring your ‘A’ game.” For the third consecutive year, Jim Cotter’s Vernon-Kelowna rink brought its ‘A’ game and claimed the provincial title. With the B.C. crown comes an opportunity to represent the province at the 2016 Tim Hortons Brier from March 5 to 13 in Ottawa. “We just concentrate on process and stay within our own team armour and just try to make shots and support each other along the way,” Cotter told Tyler Harper of the Nelson Star. Team Buchy started on the right foot as it looked to dethrone Cotter, opening with an 8-3 victory over Team Longworth (Vernon Curling Club), before falling to

Team Jackson (Victoria Curling Club) by a 4-2 margin on day one. Day two saw Team Buchy back in the win column with an 8-6 triumph over Team Montgomery (Victoria Curling Club) before suffering a 10-3 setback to Team Geall (Royal City Curling Club). On the final day of round-robin play, Team Buchy lost a 9-8 nail-biter to Team Dangerfield (Victoria Curling Club). The Geall rink — featuring skip Sean Geall, third Andrew Bilesky, second Steve Kopf and lead Mark Olson — went on to face Cotter in the provincial final, falling 7-6. “[Team Cotter is] very good. You have to play well to beat them ever time,” Geall told the Nelson Star. “They’re one of the elite teams in the world.” Cotter’s rink will now represent B.C. at the 2016 Brier in Ottawa. In 2014, Team Cotter won silver at the Brier

after finishing runner-up at the 2013 Canadian Olympic trials. “We can’t get too far ahead of ourselves,” Cotter said. “It’s just going to start with game one at the Brier.” The 2016 Tim Hortons Brier will be hosted at TD Place in Ottawa. Team Buchy wished to extend its thanks and gratitude to its generous community sponsors and supporters, including Stephen Rota Management Inc., Coal Valley Motor Products, Assante Wealth Management, Caliper Hydraulics, Canadian Tire Cranbrook, Maple Leaf Forest Products, ABC Country Restaurant, Prestige Hotels and Resorts, B and B Glass, Coors Light, Sun Life Financial - Frank Vanden Broek, Kootenay Insurance Services, Remax Caldwell Agencies, Tyee Homes, the Kimberley Curling Club and the Sparwood Curling Club.

gainfully employed as sheep-herders, as bird pointers and fetchers, as drug and explosives sniffers and those that can find lost folk because they — not the lost people — are utile animals. No, I am referring to those mutts that some folk, feeling lonely and forlorn, mistakenly entertain when their own kids have left house and home. I say ‘mistakenly’ because those ‘pets’ far too often turn out to be far more of nuisances that were the kids, and you can’t send them off to be baby-sat by teachers at school four or five days a week and then find paper routes for them so they can start earning their livings at last, but dogs are there, underfoot and shedding like mad 24/7. And, unless you happen to live out in the boondocks somewhere or own a wellfenced acreage, you can’t send them out to play street hockey. They’re inclined to wander, be scared spitless by ferocious cats, to chase deer fruitlessly, to get into fights, to indulge in naughty sexual behaviour then, casually, want back in. Remember: a door is something of which a dog is invariable on the wrong side and, what is more, barking frantically, demanding to be allowed back in. Whether they happen to be out and out mongrels, strays even, or purposely crossbred or interbred to the point of brainlessness, you, as I have done more than once, have appointed yourself the dog’s dogsbody.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be somewhat hesitant to present what you believe are very good ideas. Learn to accept others’ concepts, and see how you can work with them. You love to swap ideas, and you could do so all day long, but priorities in your personal life seem to call. Tonight: Tell it like it is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might need to manage a personal matter in a different way. If you want a different result, the process through which you have been operating most likely will need to change. Return calls and emails before scheduling any meetings. Tonight: Visit with a pal. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your personality comes through, no matter what you decide to do. You often draw in people who are a bit reticent because of this trait. Be aware of a self-imposed restriction that need not exist. You naturally will make the right choices. Tonight: Make it your treat.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your energy and sense of self swings from low to high, and vice versa, at the drop of a hat. Write down what ails you in the morning, and take another look at the same list later in the afternoon. You might even laugh when you see the difference. Tonight: Midweek break! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Use the morning to the max. What has been a problem in the past no longer will be an issue. You have a lot on your mind. Taking a break will feel a lot better than you might realize. A trusted loved one is full of fun and ideas. Tonight: If you’re tired, call it an early night. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Recent events seem to propel you into the limelight. Don’t let your insecurities get the best of you. You have what it takes, so remain optimistic. Key matters surrounding interpersonal interactions will be favored later in the day. Tonight: On top of your game. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be in a position to see

Tundra

a situation a lot more clearly in the morning, when your mind is clearer and your perspective is more astute. An important responsibility or person demands center stage in the afternoon. Tonight: Feeling ready to tackle nearly anything. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your efforts tend to break through others’ resistance more often than not. At first, you might question the validity of this statement, but by the time you go to sleep, you’ll have proven your abilities to succeed. Tonight: Choose a favorite form of rest and relaxation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have strong opinions and a direct style. However, because of present circumstances, you might need and/or want to let a loved one make the decisions. It will be your way of letting this person know that you have confidence in him or her. Tonight: Be responsive. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Use the morning for work-related matters. Someone might distract you, but you are strong

enough to say “no.” Later in the afternoon, after you have gotten through a certain amount of work, you will feel as if you finally can enjoy this person. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your spirited nature emerges as soon as you walk through the door. A friend appreciates your versatility and spunk. You can be yourself around this person; however, you could become somewhat uptight later, when you feel a need to handle certain matters. Tonight: Order in. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could feel as if someone doesn’t understand or appreciate your position or point of view. Perhaps what you really are saying is that you are not feeling as appreciated as you would like to be. Know that your time will come. For now, go with the flow. Tonight: Mosey on home BORN TODAY Basketball player Michael Jordan (1963), socialite Paris Hilton (1981), singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran (1991)

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My wife of 44 years and I have two adopted children. Our son was perfect -- no trouble, a college diploma, a good job, etc. We bought him a car at 16, and another when he graduated college. We helped with the furniture for his first apartment. We loaned him the down payment on his house and he paid us back. Our daughter, however, was a challenge. She abused drugs, had no interest in school, ran away, had multiple out-ofwedlock pregnancies, couldn’t hold a job and ended up in jail for shoplifting. Over the years, we spent thousands of dollars on counseling, purchased multiple apartments of furniture when she was trying to get re-established, and have given her a dozen cars so that she could get to her job interviews. Fortunately, she seems to have finally turned the corner and has been married several years to a guy who treats her and her children well. In an effort to equalize the disproportional amount spent on the daughter, we specified in our will that our son would get 60 percent of our estate, putting 40 percent in a trust, so our daughter would get the interest and the d that she would go through a lump sum inheritance in short order. That split seemed reasonable when we made our wills 15 years ago, but my business has continued to grow and today that split would result in one child receiving $2.4 million more than the other. I don’t want a rift between siblings and I don’t particularly want to be remembered by one as a Grinch. Any suggestions on a split that is a little closer to fair? -- Your Opinion Please Dear Opinion: We know you spent more on your daughter, but children’s expenses rarely end up being equal, so the split now seems as though you are punishing her for past mistakes. And her money is in a trust, so it is essentially going to your grandchildren. Too many people think of wills as a way to punish or reward their relatives. Please don’t. The amount is generous enough that neither child is going to suffer. We also recommend you discuss these things with your son and daughter in advance, so that there are no unpleasant surprises. Dear Annie: “Stressed on the Line” said her mother has hearing problems, among other things. For a long time, I refused the idea of hearing aids, and my husband and children were insistent. Well, I finally broke down and got them. I have to say, they are wonderful. I can hear again, and as a big plus, they are so small that very few people notice them, even though I have short hair. I hope their mother will get hearing aids. She will wonder why she waited so long. -- Happy in Wisconsin Dear Happy: Good for you. Often, people refuse hearing aids for reasons of vanity, which is ridiculous since they now offer ones that are barely noticeable. However, a more justifiable reason is the cost. We hope folks will consider them to be an investment in their future physical, emotional and mental health.

1. Advertise to Reach New Customers. Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting. You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition. A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image. When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient. Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic. Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales. Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate. Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image. In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale. When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Province

Budget 2016: Property transfer tax trimmed Tom Fletcher Black Press

New homes worth up to $750,000 are exempt from B.C.’s property transfer tax under changes in the budget that take effect April 1. Finance Minister Mike de Jong is raising the exemption level from $475,000 on new homes, and expects to make up most of the revenue by increasing the tax rate from two to three per cent on the value of homes in excess of $2 million. For resold homes, property purchase tax continues to apply at one per cent on the first $200,000 of value and two per cent on value between $200,000 and $2 million. The tax has produced a windfall for the province and pushed home purchase costs even higher in the hot market for homes in some urban areas. The government expects to collect about $200 million more than it budgeted for the current year. De Jong said the break is aimed at new construction to stimulate new housing construction, adding to supply in response to demand that is driving prices up. The exemption is only

available to Canadian citizens and permanent residents, and the government is resuming tracking nationality of buyers, a practice stopped in 1998. The upper limit to qualify for the homeowner grant is also increased from $1.1 million to $1.2 million for the 2016 property tax year. Children exempted from MSP premiums Medical Services Plan premiums are being charged only for adults starting in 2017, and the qualifying income for reduced premiums is going up from $30,000 to $42,000 for single people. The new system creates a break for single parents, who will pay a single adult rate of $78 a month instead of the current rate of $150 charged for a family of three. A single senior or single parent with one child and an income of $45,000 may also be eligible for reduced premiums. The changes will reduce rates for an additional 335,000 people, and 45,000 more people will be exempted from paying as long as they are registered and qualify. But rates overall continue to rise. With a four per cent

regressive tax. De Jong argues that MSP covers only 14 per cent of a growing health care budget, and eliminating it would amount to hiding the cost in the general tax system. Prosperity fund gets seed money With liquefied natural gas

export projects delayed, Premier Christy Clark’s promise of a “B.C. Prosperity Fund” has been launched with $100 million from the current budget surplus. The fund was touted in the 2013 election as a way to pay off debt starting in 2017, and reduce or even eliminate B.C.’s sales tax with revenues from five LNG plants. But with a glut of oil and gas internationally, no major project is expected to be under construction by the 2017 election. Including the fund in his 2016-17 budget, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said most people would agree with “the notion that we would take a modest amount of money out of our chequing account and put it in our savings account.” The finance ministry expects a surplus of $377 million at the end of the current fiscal year and $264 million in the fiscal year that begins April 1. The prosperity fund is restricted to a minimum 50 per cent to pay down debt, 25 per cent saved to earn interest and the rest available to spend on health care, transportation and other govern-

ment functions.

Disability benefits up $77 for some Income assistance payments for people with disabilities are to increase up to $77 per month effective Sept. 1, but transit passes will no longer be covered. Bus passes have only been provided for some regions of the province, an unfair situation for those who can’t take advantage of transit, said Finance Minister Mike de Jong. The increase will be across the board and recipients can choose for themselves if they use it for transit or other needs. The B.C. Liberal government has resisted calls for an increase in the general social assistance rate, but has ended the clawback of child support payments to single parents. Since 2012 the government has moved to encourage income assistance recipients to work, allowing earnings up to $200 a month without losing benefits for those who file tax returns. People on disability assistance can retain up to $800 a month, up from $500 in 2012.
