There are many ongoing efforts to improve literacy rates in the Boundary under the direction of the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) and a huge opportunity to develop capacity at the local community level in the West Boundary is an upcoming course providing 12 hours of free tutor training for volunteer adult tutors. Tutors will learn to provide one-to-one tutoring to adults in various literacy needs – from reading, writing and computer use. The twoday course will be scheduled for early February based on the best schedule for those interested in attending. Speaking of the adult tutoring program in Grand Forks, Community Literacy Co-ordinator Sheila Dobie said, “We’ve got some really long-term tutor-learner relationships that are really beautiful and are making a huge difference in these people’s lives. “There are opportunities for working with adults around literacy in the West Boundary,” said Dobie. “Especially around computers, basic readers and even reading to the elderly are all pieces that people could do as volunteer adult tutors.” Those wanting more information can find contact numbers at the bottom of this article. CBAL also sponsors opportunities for West Boundary residents to take part in computer workshops through the Greenwood and Midway public libraries. “Anyone who wants a basic computer work-

der has been eased considerably by her long working relationship with both the office and parks and rec staff. “I have total confidence in the staff,” she said. Midway resident Bob Hatton, who held the position of village CAO when Feist first joined the office staff in June of 1990, also attended the meeting as he wanted to be present at her swearing in. Feist has lived in the village since 1963.

Fair annual meeting fast approaching

With the Rock Creek and Boundary Fall Fair AGM scheduled for next Wednesday night some members are saying they have yet to receive word that they will be allowed to vote. According to association bylaws a person becomes a voting member in good standing by attending four or more business meetings during the preceding 12 months. The Dec. 27 issue of The Times reported the issue arose after the board got up and walked out after calls from the floor that the meeting, that had already begun to deal with correspondence, needed to be officially called to order. In late December Association Secretary Sue Hayes sent an email to the membership stating that the board had voted that attendance at the November meeting would count. If it hadn’t counted several people would have been ineligible to vote at the AGM. But since that time only a few who came forward to say they had attended the required four meetings have been informed that their names have been added to the voters list. According to Rock Creek resident Louise Fossen a copy of the voters list now shows herself, Dwayne Harf-

shop need only sign up,” explained Dobie. “As soon as we have three people signed up we will host a small workshop right at the library using their computers.” She explained these workshops can be modeled around specific topics such as digital photos, Facebook, email basics or an introduction to the Internet. CBAL has been busy over the past year in the Boundary. Being literate means fluency in more than reading and writing alone. With that in mind, CBAL hosted a successful adult healthy living fair in conjunction with flu clinics in Grand Forks. This was their first effort at doing health literacy and there were a number of service providers and people offering information about healthy living. Alphabet Soup is a food-based literacy program provided out of StrongStart Centres which focuses on food, recipes, nutrition and healthy eating. The program was designed by Dobies’ predecessor as community literacy co-ordinator, Lizanne Eastwood. Family Literacy Day is a national awareness initiative created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999. It’s held annually on Jan. 27 to raise awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family and this year CBAL is sponsoring a children’s literacy program put out by ABC called 15 Minutes of Fun! Even just 15 minutes a day can improve a child’s literacy skills dramatically, and can help a parent improve their skills as well. Families will be invited to contribute their own “15 minutes of fun” stories. “The kids and

parents get together and take photos and write little stories about it and then we post it on Facebook,” explained Dobie. As an incentive all the submissions are entered in a draw for Family Literacy Day. CBAL is working in partnership with the Boundary Early Years Committee to bring a program called Screen Smart to the Boundary in the spring. This program was developed in Revelstoke to help parents and children better understand how screen media – TV, computers and the internet – influences their lives, and suggest ways that families can manage media at home and at school. The idea is to increase physical activity as well as the connection to nature. Also in mid-March storyteller Margaret Read Macdonald is coming to the Boundary to present workshops, discussions and, of course, stories. This event is being presented by CBAL and the Grand Forks Public Library and is funded by Area C of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary. The Christina Lake Living Arts Centre will be the venue for three of the four events. The fourth will be a meeting at Grand Forks library to assess interest in the community to reestablish a storyteller’s guild in the area. Registration and more information will be available at the Grand Forks library and at the Christina Lake Living Arts Centre. For more information about CBAL and the programs contact Sheila Dobie at 250-584-4109 or sdobie@cbal.org, or Deborah Baker at 250449-2177 or rockmountain@telus.net.

RCMP release stats

RCMP West Kootenay Traffic Services (WKTS) has released regional figures for both the December CounterAttack program and the 2012 year-end. According to Sgt. Derrick Donovan of WKTS, there were six highway deaths in the West Kootenays last year. “In 2011, we had 12 fatalities so through media, education and enforcement we are hoping the message is getting through. Slow down, do not drink and drive, and fasten your seatbelt,” Donovan said in a press release issued on Monday, Jan. 7. Over the year the combined units of WKTS and Nelson Integrated Road Safety Unit (IRSU) reported 260 drug seizures, 97 twenty-four hour or three-day immediate roadside prohibitions due to alcohol and 60 impaired drivers either charged or issued a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition. “One trend we are seeing is more drug impaired drivers, either through illegal or over-prescribed prescriptions,” said Donovan. The units issued 25 twenty-four hour suspensions for drugs and 11 impaired drivers have been charged for being under the influence of drugs. In the month of December 2012, WKTS and the Nelson IRSU conducted roadblocks in the area resulting in the apprehension of nine impaired drivers, three impaired drivers by drugs, as well as 13 twenty-four hour or three day immediate roadside prohibitions issued. “People still seem to like to talk on the phone and not wear their seatbelt while driving as 10 people were charged in December for distracted driving, and 60 seatbelt charges were issued,” reported WKTS Cpl. John Ferguson in a separate release on Wednesday, Jan. 2. Over the entire year there were just over 1,000 seatbelt tickets issued and 250 distracted driving charges laid. Ferguson reported only one highway fatality during December. Donovan said a new excessive speed law has resulted in 37 people having their cars seized for seven days.

THE BOUNDARY CREEK

A DIVISION OF BLACK PRESS – PRINTED EVERY THURSDAY. Mailing address: Box 99, Greenwood, B.C. V0H 1J0 Street address: 318 South Copper Avenue, Greenwood, B.C.

Don’t ignore opportunity The opportunity being presented by the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) to take part in adult tutor training should NOT be easily dismissed. They had originally scheduled this West Boundary workshop last October but the weather turned so absolutely fantastic that no one seemed to want to sit indoors for two days, no matter what the reason. So CBAL community coordinator Sheila Dobie decided to reschedule to the winter months when more people might have some time available. The two-day course will be scheduled for early February based on the best schedule for those interested in attending. Dobie says that those who pass the tutor training workshop will not be asked to commit more than an hour per week when they are paired up with a learner. And at the moment Dobie doesn’t have a list of learners-in-waiting, as it were. But it is hoped the tutor training will go ahead and in that way the community will have the capacity to respond when someone does step forward. Gone are the days when literacy was understood simply as the ability to read. Today, literacy encompasses what is known as essential skills, which includes reading but also includes numeracy, computer use, writing, communicating orally, working with others, thinking skills and job task planning and organizing. The level of functionality that an individual has in these foundational skills plays a major role in determining not only an individual’s ability to participate in home and community life, but also in terms of paid employment. CBAL is a very credible organization and a terrific asset but they need support at the community level. So if you think you might like to become an adult literacy tutor give Dobie a call. Her number can be found in the front-page article of this edition of the paper.

Look closely when you vote Editor, The Times: The fair was built on trust and respect. What has happened? At our last non-meeting we had discussed walking out if it turned into a shouting match. Fortunately most of you remained calm but the same old group prevailed. President Randy Moat attempted to address some of the rumors circulating around the community. The board of directors had the answers to what had happened at this year’s fair, which is why we were elected. As for what happened in the past, I would suggest you have this discussion with the past presidents. I would like to point out that it was last year’s vice-president, Randy Moat and Ron Everson that obtained the grant to upgrade the pavilion and dais. The grant was confirmed in October and had to be completed by year-end. It was a tough time of year to deal with sheets of steel. Randy

said he would manage the project and was told to “get ’er done.” At the AGM you do not require four meetings to let your name stand but remember: Volunteer by definition is: by one’s own choice • a person who serves without pay • offer one’s service As a board member under Randy’s direction, we accomplished: • a financial report dealing with signing authority and not limited to “no receipt, no payment” • introduced wrist bands for better accounting and gate attendance records • hired an accounting firm to oversee finances and file returns • updating of the constitution • hired a caretaking couple who did an excellent job both on the grounds and in the office When you mark your ballot, look closely at who and what you want.

Pal-ing around

When she arrived she taught the women the skills to make flowers and then helped connect them with stores that would market them in Uganda. “In the end I decided not to work with this group because of corruption. I am not worried about the corruption with the women, but I am worried about the people who control the women. It’s very difficult to have someone control the money and do things in a fair trade way. “I decided to work with a couple of individuals for now. I am just not comfortable with something being corruption free until I understand the situation better. I have a couple of people I trust right now and hopefully it will grow in a fair trade principled environment. It will have to be done with a lot of checks and balances.” She is working currently with a family and another woman who are tailors. It was a busy six weeks for her and this time she has returned with product samples and is ready to line up buyers and take orders. The designs for the handbags and clothing were the result of a collaborative effort between Jackson and the tailors, resulting in beautiful, colourful pieces that are completely sourced in Africa.

and plant based dyes). “I went to Uganda intending to start a fair trade enterprise and I consider this a step forward. I do want to return and continue working with the impoverished.” While in Uganda Jackson spent time in the remote West Nile village of Anyola where she started a rabbit-breeding project. She also came home with another goal directly related to Anyola. She wants to raise funds to help the public school there. The school was built by an NGO but was never completely closed in. There are 700 students, nine teachers but no desks, papers, books or pencils. “The children just sit on broken concrete floors,” says Irene. “The blackboards are totally pitted. Many of the children have nothing to eat for breakfast or during the day.” One of the teachers is a friend of Jackson’s and it is her husband who is the Anglican minister overseeing the school. “They have no money for improvements so I am hoping to raise funds to go there and help the school out.” While she paid the majority of the costs for her first two trips, she is hoping to get more support now that people see that she is serious. “ I would welcome anyone wanting to explore coming with me. The people of Anyola said please bring other people with you. I was the first white person most had ever seen.” Jackson is looking forward to going back again to continue learning how to help the poor. “They are truly suffering and are shocked that anyone would really care.” She would like to form a society or NGO and go back in a more formal manner. “I could really use help with this so if anyone is interested in helping please contact me.” She was very struck by the amount of corruption in Uganda. “From the government on down the country is extremely corrupt. Very little aid gets to the people. My commitment is to be on the ground and make sure the help reaches where it is needed.” Jackson’s church, the Osoyoos Christian Centre, is willing to write tax receipts for money collected and if anyone would like more information Jackson can be contacted at jacksonpaivi@gmail.com.

Jackson committed to goal

Rock Creek resident Irene Paivi Jackson has returned from her second trip to Uganda where she continued to work toward her goal of helping impoverished women develop products to be sold into the fair trade market. This was her second trip to the landlocked African nation and this time she was gone for six weeks over November and December. Uganda is one of the poorest countries in the world. Until recently the north was engaged in a long-running brutal war. The Lords Resistance Army (LRA) kidnapped children and forced them to become child soldiers. Many people fled to refugee camps and have serious Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Jackson has been involved in the arts and crafts business most of her life, running galleries and doing wholesale shows with her husband. Her interest in going to Uganda began some years ago when she was looking at African designs sold through such outlets as 10,000 Villages and felt that there was room for product development. She connected with a woman from Idaho who was doing church work in Africa and together they went to Uganda three years ago. While there Jackson was asked to help start a fair trade co-op among 15 women from the slums, most of whom are refugees from the LRA war.
