The heating system at the Rock Creek Pavilion wasn’t working last week. So the nearly 100 people who had come out to the 2013 annual general meeting of the Rock Creek and Boundary Fall Fair Association on Jan. 16 were bundled and buttoned up for the evening. This meeting was seen by many as an opportunity to put things “back on track” – a phrase used by many of the candidates for one of the nine director positions during their brief pre-vote statements. Since last February, when the board refused to provide access to financial information to the satisfaction of some members, there has been much bitter argument, accusation and name-calling in both the association and the wider community. “I’ve decided it’s time to get involved again because I think we’ve lost our way a little bit,” newly elected director Ian Smith said during his brief speech. Outgoing treasurer Colleen Moat presented her annual financial report as prepared by a certified general accountant from Houghton and Company in Kelowna. Before turning the chair over to Les Jackman to run the election, president Randy Moat offered his thanks to the volunteers, caretakers, fellow executive board members and remaining directors. “It has been my sincere honour to have served alongside each and every one of you. So for that – thank you and thank you again to the volunteers.” A nominating committee had col-

lected names of those wishing to run for office prior to the meeting and ballots had been printed with those names. All positions on the board were up for election. Nominations from the floor were also asked for. Positions of president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer were filled by acclamation by Lincoln Blaine, Ted Rexin, Gail McLean and Lisa Sims respectively. Immediate past-president Randy Moat and treasurer Colleen Moat were both nominated from the floor but declined with thanks. There were 10 names put forward through the nominating committee process for the nine directors’ positions. Elected by secret ballot were Carol Thom, Danny Nakatsu, Gail Bryan, Ian Smith, Jodi Klein, Kathrine Delisle, Pat Uglik, Ron Palmer and Scott Petrie (the only immediate past director who stood for re-election). Shauna Blaine was elected to the position of 4-H

Representative. Also present at the meeting were Area E Director Bill Baird, and Boundary-Similkameen MLA John Slater and constituency executive assistant Diana Thomas. Immediately following the election Rock Creek resident Tom Haines, who had filed a petition to the courts in December to get access to the associations’ books, announced he was withdrawing his petition. In November the former board had expelled Bill Bosovich, Art Harfman and Pierre Sinclaire from the association. The charges against them were not made public. Newly elected vice-president Ted Rexin made a motion to the board that they reinstate the three immediately with full membership privileges. But under the association bylaws only the executive board can expel members; so the reinstatement decision would have

to be taken by the board itself. It was also agreed that the board would defer their decision on the reinstatement until they had an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the charges against the three that had led to their expulsion. A motion was passed by outgoing director Scott Thordarson, who is also a principal with Bucking Hens Entertainment, that the new board give consideration by the end of the month to signing a contract for 2013 that would see the rodeo happen again on the July 1 weekend. The meeting then heard from Ilana Fraser, who has been heading a committee working on revision of the bylaws over the past year. She reported that the committee last met in early December and that an eight-page draft of a new set of bylaws has been prepared. “It is a combination of suggestions that we had been working on from the membership from last year, as well as some suggestions that came up throughout the year,” she said. “We are going to have to have some talk with our membership about where we go on some of these points. It’s a much longer document.”

AGM Wednesday, January 30, 2013

6:30 pm at the Midway Fire Hall We will be voting on changes to our constitution and bylaws. Everyone welcome!

It was agreed that copies of the proposed bylaws would be available for distribution from secretary Gail McLean. Fraser said she was available if anyone wanted to talk about the proposal. Ted Rexin will head up the budget and planning committee. The board will choose members for that committee. When asked by Lincoln Blaine, Rexin said that in the past the budget and planning committee had been made up from both members of the board and also members of the association who have valid input and valid credentials. Following the meeting Area E Director Baird issued a statement thanking the outgoing board. “I could see a train wreck coming for many years,” he said. “The Rock Creek Fall Fair has become a big business and has to be run as such. Do not blame past boards for running it as it has been in the past. We should all look forward to what we can do in the future. The regional district will continue to support the fall fair as long as I am director and with this board I know we will move forward. Some things had to change. “Thank you and I look forward to working with the new board.,” Baird said.

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.

Support your local library Next Sunday, Jan. 27 is Family Literacy Day – a day meant to raise awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. Public libraries are one of the key building blocks of literacy in our communities. Their family-oriented programming address literacy issues head-on at the community level. According to their website, the Midway library has 16,000 items available to the community. Community volunteers built the building back in the ’90s. The Greenwood library is equally rich in resources. Located in a heritage building in downtown Greenwood it is a wonderful place to open your mind. It takes many volunteer hours each year to keep public libraries open in rural communities. Even if you are not one of those wonderful volunteers stepping forward on a regular basis your participation for an hour during the AGM can be a very valuable contribution. Funding is always challenging. It comes from a variety of sources, including taking advantage of grants and foundations. As Greenwood librarian Judy Foucher has said, “It is important for us to have a good turnout for this meeting – some of our funders like to see the AGM well attended by library members rather than just by the board of trustees.” That makes your rear end a valuable item, especially if it is occupying a seat for an hour during the AGM. If you do nothing more to support your local library this year than attend these meetings you will have made a valuable contribution. Greenwood library AGM – Tuesday, Jan. 29 at 7 p.m. in the library. Midway library AGM – Wednesday, Jan. 30 at 6:30 p.m. in the Midway Fire Hall. Everyone most welcome!
