BOUNDARY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Bored Room Bistro

VOL. 32 Number 40

Could this autumn see the end of one of the Boundary’s longest standing societies? That scenario is very likely to happen if volunteers are not found to fill soon-to-be-vacated director positions. Sixty-three years ago, the Boundary Historical Society (BHS) was created with the purpose of “recording and publishing the current and past history of the Boundary District; and to stimulate active interest in our heritage.” Just seven years later in 1958, the society had a membership of over 300 individuals and like-minded organizations, and published its first “Report”, a collection of stories and articles documenting the early days of life along the Boundary. By the early 1970s, memberships numbered nearly 400 and reports were being published every two or three years. However, by the time the last report (#15) hit the bookshelves in 2006, the society had less than 100 members—and the numbers have continued to fall despite regular recruitment drives. Today, the society has a small but active and motivated group of volunteers who have worked hard to shine light on our heritage and to record and publish our history. Finally, Report #16, eight years in the making, will be published before the end of this year. As membership has declined, so has the commitment of members to serve as directors. And without a full complement of directors, the society cannot continue to exist. This has been an ongoing dilemma for several years now. And 2014 will be no exception.

Fred and Jane Marshall recognized Fred and Jane Marshall have been recognized for their commitment to stewardship and innovative marketing practices in woodlot management, an honour that comes with a $2,500 award from Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. The Midway pair was formally recognized at the 2014 Federation of B.C. Woodlot Associations Annual Conference in Golden on Sept. 20. “Rural regions such as Boundary benefit from the Woodlot Licence program. Woodlots bring benefits such as job-creation, sustainable forest management and stewardship of the forests that licensees manage,” Boundary-Similkameen MLA Linda Larson said. “Congratulations, Jane and Fred, for receiving this well-deserved award.”

“We were pleasantly surprised,” said Marshall when reached by phone on Monday afternoon. “It is a very humbling honour and one that we very much appreciate.” As well as being a woodlot owner, Fred is also a consultant and educator under the name Marshall Forestry Services. The couple have been licencees for the past two decades, and raised a family of five children on their woodlot near Midway. Fred holds a master’s degree in forestry from Yale, has taught at both Malaspina and Selkirk Colleges and has developed four university-level courses accredited by the ABCFP. He was one of the “founding fathers” of both

Midway, Greenwood recipients of community forest agreement Submitted

The Village of Midway and City of Greenwood are the newest recipients of a community forest agreement, Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson announced last week after meeting with both local governments at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities annual convention. The West Boundary community forest agreement will have an allowable annual cut of 23,000 cubic metres per year and an initial term of 25 years. The agreement area covers about 17,760 hectares around the City of Greenwood and Village of Midway in the Boundary region. West Boundary Community Forest Inc. is jointly owned by the Village of Midway and City of Greenwood. In addition to preserving local recreation trails, the community forest will also be used to train local high school students in forestry. Community forest agreements are long-term,

area-based tenures designed to encourage community involvement in, and management of, local forests. Greenwood Mayor Nipper Kettle said, “I am very pleased the City of Greenwood is partnering with our neighbour Midway in this community forest venture. This will further entrench our relationship as friends and neighbours and add to our economy, providing jobs and educational opportunities in the forest sector.” Mayor Randy Kappes of Midway was quoted, “I’m looking forward to the opportunities that the new community forest will provide to our community. We will have a much larger role to play within our area’s major industry, forestry. One way we intend to influence forestry is by partnering with the local high school and provide training opportunities in forestry for future generations.” Since 2004, the province has signed over 50 community forest agreements with a total allowable annual cut of 1.3 million cubic metres of timber a year. The West Boundary Community Forest is spread throughout the West Boundary, including this hillside above Jewel Lake. The community forest license was officially awarded at the Union of BC Municipalities convention at Whistler earlier this month.

Community forest in fourth year SARAH DALZIEL

Special to the Boundary Creek Times

Midway, Westbridge, Phoenix and Jewel Lake, what do these communities have in common? They all have woodlots within the West Boundary Community Forest. The community forest is a vehicle for sustainable forestry, community awareness, and community involvement in the forest industry. The West Boundary Community Forest is in its fourth year of development, but has only recently had the agreement ratified by the province. The community forest is a joint venture between the Village of Midway and the City of Greenwood. Members of both councils are currently on the board of directors. This joint ownership reflects the reality of the Community Forest. It is a joint venture and involves woodlots throughout the West Boundary. The other unique aspect of joint ownership is that each city is equally involved in decision-making and nothing can be done without full consensus. There are currently over 40 community forests in BC, according to the BC Community Forest Association website. Community forests are often managed by a board of directors sourced from the community closest to, and most involved in the forest. Part of the initiative involves raising awareness about forestry, logging, and natural resource issues. Community forests focus on sustainability, while managing harvesting to preserve viewscapes, vulnerable watersheds, and other regional resources. The Community Forest committee and resources also help to address local concerns with forestry and forest management. The West Boundary Community Forest woodlots are spread throughout the West Boundary. There are woodlots at Jewel Lake, Phoenix, Westbridge, and Midway. These woodlots are just beginning to be managed through the Community Forest initiative. The goal is sustainable forest management, which includes raising local awareness about our natural forest resources. The journey to form a community forest began four years ago through a governmental ap-

plication process. Since then, the community forest committee has had a long journey to succeed in establishing not only the idea of a community forest, but woodlots dedicated to sustainable management throughout the West Boundary. The journey has included applications, studies, and meeting government requirements before the West Boundary Community Forest could begin management. The journey is not yet completed, and the Community Forest Committee is still looking into different management practices. Management options range from having an individual manager, to employing a dedicated forestry management company. Now the question remains, what is in the community forest for the community? Randy Kappas, Mayor of Midway and President of the West Boundary Community Forest Board, indicates that there could be plenty for the community within the Community Forest. “The goal is to allow the citizens to have control over and influence some of the forestry in the immediate area. The revenue from future projects could be used to raise awareness concerning forestry issues, and possibly to fund education for youth interested in going into one of the forest related professions. We have lots of ideas, and the committee is still exploring various options.” Randy added that the community should “watch for opportunities for community input” likely through awareness meetings. Some of the goals included starting to log within the next year or two, and initiating educational programs to raise awareness through conversation and handson events. Randy said he is “looking forward to managing the Community Forest” as an on-going endeavour. On September 25, 2014 the Honourable Steve Thomson, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations presented a certificate of commemoration to the City of Greenwood and the Village of Midway on the issuance of the West Boundary Community Forest Agreement. The presentation took place at the Union of BC Municipalities annual convention in Whistler.

We don’t need another crisis file It isn’t just rural communities that have problems keeping physicians. A retiring doctor in Saanich (population over 100,000, certainly not rural) says he was unable to even give away, never mind sell, his family practice. Dr. Chris Pengilly, 68, called it an indication of a system broken beyond repair. He said new doctors are interested in primary care but would rather work as hospitalists, locums or in urgent-care clinics. Pengilly says his medical clinic has the latest equipment and computerized records and that duties are shared with a group of doctors. Even with shared resources and back-up, there have been no takers. Simply put, doctors today don’t want the responsibility of owning a family practice. Doctors of B.C. (formerly known as the B.C. Medical Association) says that the province needs about 450 new doctors each year to fill current demand. But B.C. med schools graduate less than 290. “I don’t think there is a community in B.C. that is not looking for more family physicians,” Dr. Bill Cavers, president of Doctors of B.C., told the Victoria Times Colonist. And because new doctors expect a healthier worklife balance, meaning many won’t commit to longer work days, he said it’s thought there will need to be 1.5 doctors to replace the average older retiring doctor. It’s time for a look at how doctors are compensated, for one thing. It’s said the compensation for locums is so attractive that it actually acts as a disincentive to doctors going into family practice. Has the family doctor become a thing of the past? The sad thing is that the province’s health authorities’ answer to the problem will inevitably include the hiring of yet another executive to be in charge of yet another health care crisis file.

City approved for grant

The City of Greenwood is getting a $10,000 infrastructure planning grant. While at the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) convention last week, city officials received written approval for the grant. Mayor Nipper Kettle said that the funds would pay for a wastewater utility 20-year financial plan; a key step in getting the sewer plant upgraded. Kettle, Councillor Darla Ashton and Administrator Robin Dalziel presented written reports on their trip to the UBCM convention to council at Monday night’s council meeting. During the convention they also received final approval for the West Boundary Community Forest. Kettle added that a meeting with the Interior Health Authority rewarded the city with a promise that IHA would assist in finding a new doctor. *** During the public question period, resident Byron Goch asked for an interpretation of city Bylaw #807, the City of Greenwood Indemnification Bylaw, which reimburses officials against an award of damages or penalty imposed as a result of a claim or prosecution brought against them in connection

with the performance of their duties. Kettle told him the matter he was referring to is an in-camera item that council is dealing with, “And that’s all you need to know right now at this point in time.” Administrator Robin Dalziel said, “At this point we haven’t reached a determination of anything that will allow us to even begin to see if that bylaw would apply. So that is something that is still to be determined.” *** A request for funding from the Boundary Invasive Species Society was referred to the next meeting. The city has funded the group in the past: $500 in November 2011 and $600 in December 2012 and April 2014. BIS is requesting $600 for the terrestrial invasives program and a further $500 to go towards the aquatic species education and inventory project. *** Council approved a variance permit

In December the doctor will begin working at the Greenwood clinic two days per week. *** Council approved expenditure of grant funds for new equipment in the ballpark concession. *** Council voted to approved changes to the Regional District Animal Bylaw #1550 that will now limit to three the number of dogs per residential property in the city. *** During question period it was reported that individuals have been seen removing soil intended for the ballpark topdressing project. *** A resident asked if the city had considered the flooding of the southwest corner of the park each spring that comes from across the road. He asked if the city had any plan for draining that water once the ballpark field is raised.

THE BOUNDARY CREEK Currently, the CRA charges 5% interest on outstanding amounts and this rate is reviewed Ph:(250) quarterly. In addition, one would need to consider that 445-2233 any interest expense that is incurred on income taxes owing would not be deductible for business purposes, whereas the interest on a loan used to pay the tax would be deductible. The current rate of tax for small business corporations in British Columbia is 13.5%. Not being able to deduct this interest would effectively add another 0.675% to the interest rate that you are paying. As a result, if a business owner can obtain a loan for less than 5.675%, it makes sense to use outside financing.
