FUNDRAISER FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE ROCK CREEK FIRE

WILDFIRESIt’s hunting season, but the Southeast Fire Centre is asking hunters to avoid areas with active wildfires.

OPINIONSome apologies to the local people are in order regarding actions during the emergency, writes Fred Marshall.

BUSINESSKirkaberry Farms harvests its haskaps.P3 P5 P9

As most residents who were impacted by the Rock Creek/Westbridge wildfire have now met with sup-port agencies, the Midway Resilience Centre was closed yesterday (Wednesday). However, all residents will be able to continue accessing all the same ser-vices by calling the Red Cross at any time at 1-888-800-6493.

  Residents can also continue their recovery pro-cess by confidentially discussing what help they still need with the newly-formed Needs Committee. The members of this committee will collectively assess the needs in the affected areas and decide how best to use donated funds and keep them local.

Red Cross volunteer Susan Hodges travelled to Midway from Delta to help with the fire recov-ery effort. When she heard about fire-struck resident Terry Gentry’s loss of her favourite doll, Hodges contacted good friend and doll expert Carolynne Whereatt, who was able to locate one similar to that burned, which Hodges presented to Gentry at the Resilience Centre last week. Asked what she would name her new friend, Gentry smiled and said “Diane, just like the other one.” PHOTO: ANDREW TRIPP

A doll named Diane

An ad hoc committee has been struck to oversee the distribution of donated funds and resources for the residents directly affected by the fire.

The purpose of the Needs Com-mittee is to help households and businesses meet their ongoing basic needs in order to regain pre-disaster self-sufficiency.

The committee is comprised of Les Jackman (president of the Kettle River Lions Club), Cathy Riddle (Victim Services Coordinator), Ryan van Kuik (Pastor of Bound-ary Community Church), Vicki Gee

(Area E director for the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary), and Joyce Evans (Westbridge/Chris-tian Valley resident).

While the committee is advised by representatives from the Red Cross, Samaritan’s Purse, Men-nonite Disaster Service, Interior Health, the regional district, Habitat for Humanity and other agencies, it is the members of the local com-mittee who (on a case by case basis) decide on the placement of donated funds (keeping the decisions as lo-cal as possible).

It is the primary goal of the com-

mittee to meet immediate basic needs of those directly affected by the fire. The next priority is to assist with long-term housing solutions for those who are uninsured or un-der-insured. Thirdly we will work to help with other losses incurred by the fire.

To donate, stop by the Green-wood branch of the Heritage Credit Union or by mailing your donation to the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (202 - 843 Rossland Ave., Trail, B.C., V1R 4S8). Please desig-nate your donation is for the “Rock Creek/Westbridge Fire Needs Com-

mittee” and include your full name and mailing address so your tax de-ductible receipt can be issued.

While the regional district is handling the funds, the committee decides how and when it is spent. The committee encourages other collections of donations to either be forwarded to this fund or to be in communication with the commit-tee.

If you have any questions or would like to recommend recipi-ents/highlight needs, contact the committee through Vicki Gee (250-446-2042 or vgee@rdkb.com).

The Fun Spot

Quote of the Week:When someone tells you something defies description, you can be pretty sure he’s going to have a go at it anyway.– Clyde B. Aster

Joke of the Week:A police officer stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street. “But officer,” the man began, “I can explain.” “Just be quiet,” snapped the officer. I’m going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back.” “But, officer, I just wanted to say,” “And I said to keep quiet! You’re going to jail!” A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, “Lucky for you that the chief ’s at his daughter’s wedding... He’ll be in a good mood when he gets back.” “Don’t count on it,” answered the fellow in the cell. “I’m the groom.”

Stay out of fire zones

Fire claims three livesThree American flags serve as a makeshift memorial for the three Wash-ington firefighters killed in one of the large fires still burning in the state. 20-year-old Tom Zbyszewski, 26-year-old Andrew Zajac, and 31-year-old Richard Wheeler died when their crashed vehicle was consumed by flames near Twisp in Eastern Washington. Thousands attended a memorial ser-vice last Sunday in Wenatchee, about 140 kilometres south of where the tragedy occurred to honour the victims. PHOTO: SUBMITTED

Hunting season officially began on Sept. 1, and with it came pleas from the Southeast Fire Centre, asking that hunters avoid areas with active wild-fires. Hunters are being asked to stay out of fire zones for their own safety and that of firefighters.

“Hunting in the vicinity of an active wildfire could put the safety of fire crews at risk,” the cen-tre said “and the burned areas also pose safety hazards for hunters.”

In addition to the Rock Creek Fire, which has burned nearly 4,500 hectares but is now 100 per cent contained, there are several other major fires throughout the region, each attended by numer-ous personnel.

These include:The fire west of Rossland in the Big Sheep

Creek area is 190 hectares and 80 per cent con-tained. Today, 30 personnel and four helicopters are on site. There is an area restriction in place. 

The Deer Creek wildfire burning 30 kilometres northwest of Castlegar is 1,100 hectares and is 40 per cent  contained. Twenty-nine personnel and two helicopters are on site.

The 480-hectare fire burning on Mount Midg-

ley, northwest of Creston, is now 90 per cent con-tained. Twenty-eight personnel, five helicopters continue to work on the fire.

The fire 10 kilometres north of Christina Lake at Paulson Pass is 320 hectares and 90 per cent contained. Fifty-nine personnel and two he-licopters are on site today.

The 1,700-hectare fire 25 kilometres north of Grand Forks in the Lynch Creek area is 15 per cent contained. This fire merged with another fire burning in Gladstone Provincial Park on Satur-day, increasing the size. There are 62 personnel and three helicopters on site. There is a forest ser-vice road restriction in place.

The fire 35 kilometres southeast of Cranbrook burning near Cherry Lake is 1,250 hectares. Fifty-three personnel and seven helicopters are on site today. Forest service road restrictions are in place.

As of last Friday, 559 wildfires had burned 12,709 hectares in the region. Of those fires, 486 were caused by lightning and 73 were human-caused. Fire centre officials are hopeful that would-be hunters will respect their request and avoid ar-eas where firefighters remain actively engaged.

EHS attends to driverOn Aug. 25, Midway RMCP

received a report of a possible im-paired driver. Investigation re-vealed that the person showed all the signs and symptoms of an impaired driver but was not impaired and was diabetic. Emergency Health Services were called and tended to the driver.Driver going 125 km/ in a 50 km/h zone

On Aug. 26, a Midway RCMP member was doing active patrols and radar enforcement in Rock Creek when he observed a vehicle going at high rate of speed in the 50 km/h zone on High-way 33. Radar confirmed the vehicle speed of 125 km/h. The driver was issued an excessive speed-ing ticket and his vehicle was impounded for a minimum of seven days. Driver impaired

On Aug. 29, a Midway RCMP member was

doing active patrols in Greenwood when he noticed a vehicle driving slowly was weaving slightly and had its turn signal on but not turn-ing.

The member pulled the vehicle over and determined that the driver was im-paired.

The driver was issued a 30-day immediate roadside prohibition from driving and the ve-hicle was impounded for a minimum of 90 days.It’s a scam

Police would like to warn the public about a telephone scam occurring right now. A person claiming to be with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is calling people demanding payment of outstanding taxes.

The public is advised to ignore these phone calls, as they are not originating with Canada Revenue Agency.

Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC (HFH-SEBC) has launched a campaign to raise dona-tions to help the Boundary families who lost their homes due to the recent fires.

HFHSEBC is now accepting cash donations and pledges of building materials or services for this initiative. The Rock Creek/Westbridge Needs

Committee has been formed to respond to the recovery effort; HFHSEBC will be a part of this committee and be in direct engagement as one of the stakeholders helping families who lost homes.

Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC is a tax-exempt non-profit organization. For information call 250-442-2722 or email bob.huff@hfhsebc.org.

Letters Policy

As the Rock Creek wildfire approaches full contain-ment, the rebuilding efforts of those impacted by the fire begin in earnest, and undoubtedly there will be many stories forthcoming of help given and appreciation re-turned.

This community has pulled together in remarkable fashion throughout this uncertain time, and many quiet heroes have emerged in a number of ways, from helping contain the fire in its early manifestation, to pulling together a team to feed and clothe evacuees while disaster re-lief services were being mobilized.

Their story will make a long article in of itself, and is one that needs to be told again and again, as a sobering reflection of an event that rocked this region to its very foundation, though, through the efforts of these individu-als, failed to crack it.

I have assembled much of the background material re-quired for such an article, but would appreciate any stories you, the readers, have to relate. If you wish to be heard, or know somebody whose story needs to be told, please contact me!

~~~Mother Nature dealt us a nasty blow this summer in the

form of heat, drought and fire, but already she is showing her lighter side in the very fields scorched by the fire.

Looking above the remnants of the first residence lost to the blaze, one can clearly see the ongoing emergence of new grass, as regeneration begins and lush pastures are promised.

In a personal twist of fate, the acreage surrounding the

destroyed home on Bishop’s Bend might well have been home to my small flock of sheep this summer had the owner not turned down our offer to lease the land.

Instead, we were offered pasture further up the moun-tain, at the Hulme Creek home of our good friends Nick and Sarah Bond. It too, was threatened by fire on that

fateful afternoon, escaping destruction only through the swift actions of retardant bomb-ers.

As fate would have it, the lack of rain and absence of irrigation had forced us to move the sheep to Bridesville only a few days before the fire hit, likely sparing our flock and causing me to tip my hat to the Chinese Zodiac. This, after all, is the Year of the Sheep.

~~~The change in weather has been a welcome

relief for most of us in the area, but if the weatherman is on the ball, it appears we’re headed for a pleasant Septem-ber, which bodes well for one of Boundary’s biggest annual events, the Rock Creek and Boundary Fall Fair (you may have heard of it).

The fair’s board of directors has worked extremely hard this year to make the event one of the best fairs ever and, despite the additional challenges the fire has presented, they are ready to roll on Sept. 19 and 20.

This will be my first time covering the fair as a report-er, and I look forward to photographing people enjoying themselves again, doing their best to move through this decidedly bleak period.

The fall fair will almost certainly put a much-needed smile back on people’s faces.

We want to read your stories

I was contacted by Andrew Tripp last weekend and invited to share my feelings about the fire. For some bizarre reason I thought myself up to the task.

My feelings are many and very mixed; it is dif-ficult to know where to start. Obviously, not having been there during the crisis, I am in great danger of writing something which will offend or cause pain.

Of course I am first of all very grateful that no lives were lost. Things can be replaced—lives can-not.

But that statement needs to be qualified. While no human lives were lost, pets and other animals were. Homes are gone, and with them many cher-ished belongings. Once again, things can be re-placed—lives cannot. So gather those you love close to you and cherish this opportunity to look into their eyes and hold them in your arms.

I am grateful for the men and women who both fought the fire on the line and those who supported the fire fighters and the evacuees. Many of those who stepped up are my friends and former neigh-bors; and you dropped everything to come to the aid of others whom I call friends and former neigh-bors. For that I am eternally grateful and so very proud of you all.

Someone wrote the phrase “Boundary Strong” on a Facebook post. True and even more true, be-cause that which does not kill us makes us stronger.

We are in it for the long haul.Take care of someone who loves you, and every-

thing will turn out right.

Boundary Strong!

You have likely heard the news reports, as of late, in which a number of tax shelters have come under fire by the CRA. What has resulted are some rather unfavorable tax reassessments as deductions or tax credits claimed from the tax shelter arrangements are disallowed. Other than RRSPs, TFSAs and flow-through shares there are relatively few legitimate tax shelters available to help reduce your tax liability. Taxpayers should be aware of the criteria that must be met according to the CRA:

1. The promoter of the “tax shelter” is required to obtain an official tax shelter ID number from the CRA. Further, your name and social insurance number along with the tax shelter number must be evident on the tax slip(s) you receive. This information enables the CRA to review your investment and determine the validity of any tax benefits claimed as a result of participating in the arrangement. Generally, a tax shelter is “any scheme where a promoter represents that the tax savings an investor receives will exceed the amount invested in the scheme.”

2. If the promoter does not register the tax shelter with the CRA and the taxpayer fails to file Form T5004 with his/her tax return detailing the shelter being used and how much claimed, then any losses or credits the taxpayer hoped to claim will be denied – even if they would otherwise qualify.

3. There are other schemes that may not meet the definition of “tax shelter,” but have at least two of the three hallmarks of a tax avoidance plan. These must be reported on Form RC312. Similarly, if they fail to be reported on the specified form, the tax benefits will be denied by the CRA and the taxpayer may be subject to reassessments for an unlimited time.

The “hallmarks” of a tax avoidance plan are: • Contingent fees for the promoter which are often a percentage

of the tax the investor saves; • Confidential protection in which a taxpayer is not permitted

to disclose the details of the scheme to others; • Contractual protection in which insurance is provided or a

promise given in defense of the scheme should a taxpayer/investor be reassessed and denied its benefits by the CRA.

In recent years, charity donation tax shelters have undergone a fair amount of scrutiny by the CRA. Typically, these tax shelters provide the investor a tax receipt from a charity for a significantly higher amount than the original amount invested in the arrangement. The old adage “if it sounds too good to be true... it likely is” should be applied. Taxpayer/investors should be cautious when contemplating participation in such a scheme even if the promoter assures you that the scheme works and it’s been endorsed by other professionals. Taxpayers should note the following:

• The CRA doesn’t accept any charity donation shelters as valid, other than simple donations of flow-through shares in which the rules require that a capital gain also needs to be reported;

• The scheme must be reported as a tax shelter on the tax return otherwise the donation credit will be denied;

• Expect a fairly lengthy delay in receiving a Notice of Assessment as the CRA will first audit the tax shelter before issuing the assessment notice and if the tax shelter is not approved, the donation tax credit will also be denied;

• Should the taxpayer decide to appeal the assessment and CRA’s denial of the donation credit, the taxpayer must still pay half of the amount in dispute while the appeal is underway.

In addition to the special tax shelter rules, the CRA can apply the general anti-avoidance rule to deny a taxpayer a deduction or credit that is part of an “avoidance transaction” which may be considered a misuse or abuse of the words of the Income Tax Act, Income Tax Regulations or any tax treaty. Simply put, most tax shelters simply don’t work anymore — keep with the legitimate tax-saving arrangements such as RRSPs, TFSAs and flow-through shares.

NOTICE OF PRUNING

FortisBC Inc. has contracted Asplundh Canada ULC to manage vegetation near power lines within its service area. This work is necessary to reduce safety hazards near electrical wires and to prevent power outages caused by trees or tree limbs making contact with the lines. Clearing around the low voltage lines that deliver power to individual residences remains the responsibility of the property owner. For safety reasons, FortisBC encourages homeowners to enlist the help of a qualified professional when pruning near low voltage lines. Over the next few weeks, Asplundh Canada ULC crews will be pruning, treating and removing hazard trees in the FortisBC service area of Rock Creek/Midway for Midway #1 Feeder area. The work area is described as – North End of Ingram Mtn. Road, Kerr Creek Road on the North – Canada U.S. Border on the South – Kerr Creek Road on the East and Junction of Hwy #33 and Hwy #3 on the West. Every effort will be made to minimize disturbance to local property owners. If you have any questions about this project, please call Asplundh Canada ULC at 1-800-663-5860. As a by-product of this work, free wood chips will be available in 8 cubic meter loads. If you are interested please call 1-800-663-5860.Thank you for your cooperation.

We must be better preparedby Fred Marshall

While the Rock Creek � re was a very unpleas-ant event, it was not an extraordinary one.

With ever increasing temperatures, reduced rainfall and the absence of natural � res for nearly 100 years this � re was, in many ways, long over-due. Without the relatively recent intervention of settlers to the area and their descendants who have become ever more active and e� ective in suppressing � res, � res occurred on a regular ba-sis, approximately every 35 years.

While many of the earlier � res started natu-rally via lightning, many were likely also set by the natives to improve wildlife habitat, grazing for their horses and to stimulate berry produc-tion.

Fire Events: Shortly a� er the � re started on � ursday a� ernoon evacuation orders and Highway closures were implemented.

� e three levels of the evacuation orders are Alert, Orders and Rescindment. � ey are set by the Emergency Operations Center (the EOC) under the authority of the regional district.

� e appropriate levels are determined in col-laboration with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) and Ministry of Transportation and Infrastruc-ture. Once set, they are administered by the EOC and enforced by the RCMP.

� e alert means that the danger levels are threatening and residents should be ready to evacuate and any animals moved to safe areas.

� e order means that residents must evacu-ate as there is imminent danger. While this is a mandatory order it is not enforced. If and when a person evacuates is, therefore, entirely up to them. � e exceptions to enforcement pertain to minors or incompetent persons the evacuation of whom may be enforced.

As the regional district is in charge of emer-gency operations, it has a responsibility to pro-tect the people under its jurisdiction. By issuing the evacuation orders, they are ful� lling their due diligence by ordering the people to evacuate.

� ose refusing to evacuate inherently accept the responsibility for their own safety with no negligence accruing to the regional district

However, once a person leaves their prop-erty, they cannot return until allowed to do so via rescindment of the evacuation orders or ad hoc authority by the incident commander, the MFLNRO person in charge of the � re-� ghting operations or the EOC.

Unfortunately, on the Rock Creek Fire, the RCMP did enforce this order and some people were forced to evacuate under threat of arrest. One person, a female, was actually arrested and physically removed, in handcu� s, from the home she and her husband were trying to protect.

Fortunately they were able to return a bit later and were successful in saving their house and several outbuildings etc. Both were well experi-enced in � re� ghting and had two escape routes identi� ed in case their e� orts were unsuccessful. � ey also had over 20 horses in barns that need-ed to be either protected or released.

Rescindment: � e evacuation orders are re-scinded and people are allowed to return to their properties.

Commentary: While the local RCMP may have had good intentions in enforcing the evacu-ation orders, they acted quite independently and with some arrogance and disrespect for the local people and without due regard for their rights.

Such actions, instead of reassuring and sup-porting the local people, added undue anxiety, frustration and some well justi� ed anger to their already stressful situations.

� is should not have happened; some apolo-gies to the local people are in order.

When evacuation orders are given, the ratio-nale behind them must be well understood and they must be enforced with some discretion and not blind absolutism. As noted above, they are generally not enforced.

On the Rock Creek � re, there were too many instances where people with legitimate reasons to enter the closed area were, in most instances, refused access without good cause

Also, under subsection E of the Emergency Program Act the EOCs can “authorize or require any person to render assistance or a type that the person is quali� ed to provide …..etc.”

One of the last “true” country fairs!

Shortly after the fire started and was threat-ening homes and other buildings many local, and well qualified and well equipped residents expended near heroic efforts in building fire-guards, protecting structures and helping people in need.

Without their action many more structures and improvements would have been lost and the fire likely grown even larger than it actually did.

Once they left the area they were no longer able to provide such assistance. The effective and judicious use of these people could and would have strengthened the efforts of the ministry personnel yet, although legislation allows for lo-cal assistance, it was never authorized. It likely should have been.

Similar instances occurred when people at-tempted to move livestock, left their home to get gas for their generators or fire pumps to further protect their homes or just to get groceries and, with few exceptions, were not allowed either into the fire or back to their homes!

If a homeowner was returning from work to their home and knew the fire was threaten-ing it and that their spouse was there defending it, there are likely few people that would not go through the roadblock to reach their home and spouse and, if deemed safe to do so, stay and de-fend their holdings.

Restricting people from doing so would be very inappropriate.

Highway Closures: Highways 3 and 33 were closed at on Aug. 13 and the evacuation orders issued simultaneously. Highway 3 was reopened on Aug. 19 and Highway 33 at 6 p.m. on Aug. 21.

While the initial closure of both Highways 3 and 33 was appropriate, both could have been safely opened sooner especially, and at least, to local people. Or both highways could have been strategically opened earlier to all traffic with pi-lot cars if or as necessary.

It is incongruous when hundreds of firefight-ers, some of whom are on their first fire event, are allowed to travel the highways and local roads, often to protect homes and fight the fire when local residents, many of whom are very ex-perienced, are well equipped and have excellent knowledge of the local access routes are not al-lowed to travel these same routes and/or protect their own homes.

These highways are the life-blood of the local communities and the longer they are closed the more the affected communities suffer. People or contractors can’t get to work, residents can’t re-turn to their home even if they left temporarily to visit a doctor or purchase supplies as noted above.

Tourists and others who use the highway are either stopped or incur huge expenses to com-plete their journey. Local businesses can’t get or deliver product e.g. gas, oil, food, etc. For exam-ple, a local egg producer had to use prodigious efforts to get his eggs to market.

Also, the longer properties are unattended the more subject they are to theft and/or vandalism. Unfortunately there are some very aggressive and brash thieves in the area. For example, as the ministry fire camp was being set up in Midway, some lumber stacked on site for their camp was stolen during the night shortly after it was placed there!

It is also contradictory and incongruous when local residents are restricted from staying or ac-cessing their properties with the intention of protecting their structures and/or animals while the ministry and the regional district support, with millions of dollars, the implementation of the Fire Safe program.

Under this program, residents and commu-nities are encouraged and often provided with training and financial support to “fire safe” their

homes and property. The main objective of this work is to provide a “defensible space” wherein one can safely and effectively prevent their home from catching fire.

If people are forced to leave their homes or prevented from getting to them, then the very intent of the Fire Safe program is thwarted as the people are not allowed to defend their defensible space.

As noted above, the MFLNRO and the re-gional district, supported by millions of dollars, have contradicted themselves by not allowing the people to protect their homes as previously encouraged.

Or, at the very least, they were thwarted by those enforcing the evacuation orders and high-way closures in an overly strict manner.

It is especially incongruous when, even sever-al days after the evacuation orders were rescind-ed, that ministry fire personnel were visiting lo-cal people and advising them about the Fire Safe program and encouraging them to participate. Hmmm?

Work for local contactors: Before Highway 3 was reopened, several outside contractors were brought in and cut down several trees along both Highway 3 and 33.

This work should have been offered to the local logging contractors who had the qualifica-tions and capability to do so. It is very discon-certing to observe local work going to outside contractor when the local contractors are sitting idle because of the fire situation and highway closures.

Lessons to be learned: As with any disaster mistakes are going to be made; as noted above, this was true with the Rock Creek fire. However, beneficial use can, and hopefully will, be made of the mistakes by learning from them to ensure they aren’t repeated.

Obviously the main jurisdictions involved in these events need better training (both in the relevant legislation and the application and en-forcement thereof—especially the evacuation procedures) and more effective coordination and collaboration among their activities.

Hopefully several information and debriefing sessions will be held to achieve such learning. These sessions should involve everyone involved in and/or affected by the fire and a summary re-port with recommendations prepared.

We must be better prepared for future disas-ters. The climate changes threaten to not only repeat such events but exacerbate them. A flash flood and/or severe erosion events could easily be the next such occurrences in our area with more fires and/or a severe drought to follow next summer.

Summary: One thing that was very evident from the start of the fire and ongoing was and is the outpouring of helping, caring, giving, shar-ing, praying and loving given by virtually every-one in some way or another.

There is no doubt that this approach will con-tinue into the future and will always be here as an inherent part of our place. It makes one very proud to be a member of the Boundary commu-nity.

Also a heartfelt thanks to the ministry-direct-ed firefighting crews. They did a great job and are making sure the fire is out before they leave. Much appreciated.

And not to be forgotten are the similar gener-ous actions exhibited by the many outside people and organizations that came, some from consid-erable distances to help out.

They gave, and are continuing to give, freely and generously helping in whatever way they can. Overwhelming and very much appreciated. They broadened the proud feeling to that of be-ing a very proud Canadian! Well done.

Tuesday, September 15 at 7:00 p.m., in the lower level of the Rock Creek Medical Clinic.

Liberal hopeful Connie Denesiuk was quick to remove a campaign sign placed by one of her volunteers amidst charred remains of the Rock Creek fire. Denesiuk drove to Rock Creek from her home in Summerland to apologize to residents.

Sign riles residentsConnie Denesiuk, the Liberal candidate in the

newly-formed federal riding of South Okanagan-West Kootenay, responded swiftly last Thursday to complaints about the placement of one of her campaign signs.

Taking full responsibility for the questionable placement of the sign, close to the ignition point of the Rock Creek fire, amidst acres of charred ground and just below the ruins of the first home destroyed by the blaze, Denesiuk reacted almost immediately to the negative comments that flooded Facebook within minutes of the sign be-ing reported.

She quickly left a family social event in Sum-merland and travelled alone to Rock Creek with an apology in hand.

Camped out in the parking lot of the town’s general store, she awaited what she expected to be an angry group of residents; none material-ized, though she did speak to the Times for sev-eral minutes about the controversy.

When asked what she would like to tell the people of Rock Creek and Westbridge, especially those who had lost their home, Denesiuk was vis-ibly shaken by the situation.

“I would like to offer my heartfelt apologies for the terrible placement of my sign.” said Denesiuk. “Having it placed so near the devastation was ex-tremely insensitive and should not have happened.” The sign had been erected by one of her volun-teers the day before. Denesiuk removed it imme-diately.

Effort much appreciatedThe Greenwood Legacy Group teamed up with the Greenwood Volunteer Fire Department (GVFD) to put on a barbecue to benefit Rock Creek fire victims just days after the disaster struck. Legacy Group chair Darla Ashton and GVFD Chief Roy Terashita were pleased by an excellent turnout for the event, despite having no time to advertise it. Donations were forwarded to the Kettle River Mu-seum for deposit into their fire relief fund. PHOTO: ANDREW TRIPP

‘Fruit of life longevity’grows in Midway

The Kirkpatrick fam-ily stands amidst some of their mature haskap plants. Each plant can yield several kilograms of berries, considered some of the most potent in the fruit world. Kirkaberry Farms owners Mur-ray and Sue Kirkpat-rick flank son Randy, daughter-in-law Kristi Bain and grandchildren Raydn and Roran.

Kirkaberry Farms in Midway recently harvested its latest crop of haskap berries in preparation for a juicing, jamming and sun-drying campaign that will turn the 1,300 kg of fruit into high-energy, cancer-preventing treats.

Owners Murray and Sue Kirkpatrick are transplanted Al-bertans who moved to Midway eight years ago from Chester-mere, a small bedroom community of Calgary. As farmers, their traditional crop choice had been hay, but, according to the Kirkpatricks, they were getting tired of producing animal feed and were looking for a new challenge.

A magazine article about the growing popularity of the haskap berry, considered by the Japanese as the “fruit of life longevity,” and subsequent research on the intensely-flavoured pome also know as the honeyberry, convinced the Kirkpat-ricks that they should replace their Midway hayfields with hundreds of rows of the shrub-like haskap plants.

That was more than five years ago, and now Kirkaberry Farms is poised to start producing a volume of berries large enough to see their products hit grocery store shelves in the next three or four years.

Asked why they chose the haskap as their new crop, Mur-ray Kirkpatrick explained that it was the berry’s hardiness that convinced he and his wife that it would prove viable. “The has-kap plant is extremely hardy,” Kirkpatrick said. “It can with-stand temperatures to -40 C, and even -7 C when in bloom. Show me another plant that can take minus seven in blossom. It’s one tough little plant I think.”

The haskap plant is a deciduous, fruit-bearing shrub that grows to a maximum height of around two metres. The fruit is a dark blue elongated berry about a centimetre in length. The Japanese refer to the fruit as haskap, though it is also known

as “edible honeysuckle”, “blue honeysuckle” and “honeyberry”. The species is native to north-ern Japan, Russia and Canada. While similar in appearance to blueberries and cranberries, the haskap is actually related to to-matoes, as well as elderberries and snowberries.

The flavour of the haskap is somewhere between a blue-berry, a Saskatoon berry and a raspberry. Its skin is virtu-ally “melt in your mouth”, and its seeds so small as to be un-noticeable, qualities that make the berry ideal for processing. Some selections have an ap-pealing tartness, which produce juices devoid of the sugary fla-vours of other fruit extracts. The Kirkpatricks are currently mixing it with apple nectar, to create “Happle Juice”, a process that, while still in the experi-

mental phase, is producing a beverage popular amongst Kirk-aberry’s customers.

In November of last year, the operation was joined by the Kirkpatricks’ son Randy and daughter-in-law Kristi Bain, who will be spearheading the marketing and sales of the berries, juices and jams, as well as sharing the day-to-day tasks that such a venture demands.

The area’s unique growing climate makes it ideal for haskap production. With its hot days and cool nights, Midway’s fairly consistent conditions result in berries with higher than aver-age Brix values, which are indicative of sugar content. Plants generally begin blooming in early April, and the fruit is harvested in June.

The health benefits of the berry are significant. Not only is it two to five times higher in antioxidants than various types of blueberries, it also contains a high concentration of quercitin, which is a flavonol found in many fruits and vegetables and considered an excellent source of energy.

Randy Kirkpatrick took raw haskap berries to children’s soc-cer matches over the summer, and found them quickly replacing or-anges as the power snack of choice. “Athletes use quercitin as part of vitamin supplements taken prior to long runs,” added Bain. “The kids, if they’re falling asleep at the dinner table, you give them a shot of has-kap juice and they’re suddenly wide awake again!”

The Kirkpatricks also discovered an unexpected effect the juice can have on meat. “I added some to a barbecue sauce for ribs and steak,” said Sue, “and you could cut the meat with a fork.”

What started as a farming ex-periment, with no guarantee of suc-cess, is beginning to take shape. The Kirkaberry orchard now covers 50 acres, growing, in addition to has-kap berries, dwarf sour cherries and Saskatoon berries, and the Kirkpat-rick family is looking forward to many years as a producer of what some call a “fruit of vision.”

Kirkaberry Farms will be selling their products and promoting the health benefits of the haskap berry at the upcoming Rock Creek and Boundary Fall Fair.

West Boundary schools return to action on Tuesday, Sept. 8, and there are a couple of important notes about the first week of classes.

The first day back will see early dismissal at 11:30 a.m., and school will be held on Friday, Sept. 11 due to the Labour Day holiday Monday.

There will also be classes on Friday, Oct. 16 after the Thanks-giving Day holiday on Monday, Oct. 12.

School’sin!

Thanks every one of youFirst and foremost, the Midway Pub-

lic Library would like to thank each and every firefighter, volunteer and person who contributed to the efforts while fighting the Rock Creek Wildfire.

It is a blessing to live in a commu-nity such as this where we are all able to band together and support our friends and neighbours. We look forward to the future, where families and friends can begin to heal from this terrible tragedy and are standing by to assist in any way possible.

This thank you is a little late, as it was meant to be submitted the week the fire broke out. Thank you for your under-standing.

As you may be aware, this year’s run was a little different.

First, the name: Kettle River Memorial Run. This was to en-compass the entire Boundary area and all the people who have been affected by cancer. Second, the day: we held the run on a Sunday this year. While it was still a success, the jury is out on which is better, Saturday or Sun-day!

Third, in order to tie in Kettle River Days and make the event a week-end long celebration, we hosted a dinner and dance in partnership with the Mid-way Volunteer Fire Department on the Saturday night prior to the run.

All in all, the dinner and dance was a fantastic success! McMynn’s Family Food’s resident gourmet chef, John Ho, created a fantastic dinner with barbecue pork sandwiches, delicious salads and good old-fashioned corn on the cob! It was a fantastic spread, finished off with a lovely dessert by Jolly McMynn.

Our local firemen manned the bar, serving up refreshments and laughs while we all enjoyed the music from the one and only Dale Seaman and the High-way 97 band! My favourite part about the whole night was that Doug and Jolly McMynn had gone around to the local

business, including their own three businesses, and collected donations to cover the cost of the band, making this an exceptional family event.

Because of the generosity in our com-munity, there was no admittance cost and everyone, including children, were welcome to join their fellow commu-nity members for a fun evening in the Boundary. I hope to continue to build this tradition in the coming years, and hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did!

There are so many people to thank for all the help we received over the course of the Kettle River Days weekend, it goes without saying that it takes a village to raise a child….and host an event!

Thank you to the following:• McMynn’s Family Foods and Doug,

Jolly and their family for preparing, cooking and supplying the delicious meal. Thank you also for collecting the donations, supplying the tents, lights and setting up for and taking down for the event. Those lights made for a magi-cal night!

• Each and every local business and person who donated to the cost of the band, without your generosity, events like these can be expensive for families to attend. It was wonderful to see all generations come together to enjoy the

evening. • Christine Hinks, who donated the

candied apples, the delight on the kids’ faces as they were handed out was so cute!

• Everyone who helped serve dinner to our lovely guests, over 100 dinners were served in a very short period of time!

• The fire department for setting up the tables, chairs, tents and manning the bar, you guys are always a good time and without all your members around to help, we would not have been able to host such a wonderful event.

• The Midway library board members, employees and volunteers, your help is

appreciated immensely; your dedication to the cause never ceases to amaze me!

And finally, thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy this event, support the firemen, the library and your community. It’s memories like these that will stay with us all for years to come, I’m thankful to share them with my children and my neigh-bours!

The Kettle River Memorial Run is an event that could not and would not happen without a team of dedicated vol-unteers and local businesses. The funds raised by registration go directly to sup-porting the library and are essential to our library service.

Thank you to the following: Village of Midway—mayor, council and all staff, Midway Trails Society, Jan Kohl-hauser, Ross Elliot, Pam Balzer, John Greaves, Kerstin Kleinhempel, Norm Ohlhausen, Jenny Schmalz, Beatrice and Clayton Blight, Tanya Reinert, Danny Anderson, Sybil Remke, Gordy Jones, Madison Harpur, Rick Lindseth, Kelowna Running Club, Blair Sports-wear, Bored Room Bistro, and each and every person who ran, walked and jogged the trail!

The Kettle River Memorial Run is an event that could not and

would not happen without a team of dedicated volunteers and

local businesses.

ENGRAVING

These past few weeks have been filled with overwhelming stress. Multiple wild-fires have evoked sorrow, compassion, sac-rifice, and questions. It is difficult for some to fathom the level of loss.

Sidley Mountain (K50593) and Rock Creek (N60584) seemed to start at the same time. Then as resources were stretched to meet those fire dragons two other fires broke out in Oliver/Osoyoos; Testalin-den Creek (K50615) and Wilsons Mountain (K50619).

Rural towns to the South of us are deal-ing with much of the same, adding to their despair the tragic loss of three firefight-ers… The Okanogan Complex 11 miles

North West of Omak 227,000 acres and the re-cent Stickpin Fire USA (N60686) just 3k from Grand Forks.

This summer’s wildfire season so far is unprecedented in our history

As in 2003 wildfires have taken over our lives. The smoke filled days rob those with respiratory problems of enjoying the great outdoors. The blood red sun and moon make for great photograph but bring an eeriness that does not help lower people’s fears. The news is all about new fires, and smoke advisories.

By now you must have discovered that our neighbourhoods are filled with won-derful people who in the midst of adversity have stepped up to the plate.

We should remember that natural disas-ters touch “the just and the unjust” alike. Overly religious people blame God and try

to assign evil to the hand of God. In con-trast, the Christian trusts the wisdom and sovereignty of God without making Him the author of sin.

So what is the true Christian’s re-sponse when facing calamity or disaster? The writer of Psalm 66 cried to God, his words indicating a sense of urgency and desperation. And, true to His Word, “God listened” and showed mercy.

We should pray for God’s grace and mercy for several groups of people; Those that are hurting personally; Those that are grieving over the loss of life, property, or livelihood; Those that fear and worry about what to do or where to turn; Those that question and wonder what is happen-ing; Those who lead the recovery efforts; Those that help the hurting.

Even in the face of crisis the people of

God have learned to place their hand in the heavenly Father’s. God is merciful and gracious.

A word of caution to churchgoers, if you are going to pray regarding our wild-fire crisis please do so with a willingness to be used of God—remember; “Faith Without Works Is Dead” James 2:14-16 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sis-ter is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giv-ing them the things needed for the body, what good is that?

Recovery efforts will go well into the fall, and I am sure we can all find our place in the rebuilding of our communities. Lit-tle things do make a big difference.

Little things do make a big differenceFrom the Back Pew”Just saying”, by the sometimes irreverent Ed Brouwer.

Rebuilding a community—Rock Creek Fire 2015

It’s Sept. 1, 2015 and as I sit here at my desk it is hard to believe that three weeks has gone past since the start of the Rock Creek Fire.

Today there was an announcement that the fire was at 100 per cent containment. But our area in general is still very dry and still heavy in fuel (dry grasses, dry weeds and trees). So it is still an uneasy feeling.

Our little community has had a huge loss. People’s homes, livestock, pets, ma-chinery, hay crops and personal memo-ries. The grief from this is going to linger. But from the ashes of this devastation our neighbours and friends have risen up to great heights and we have proven that us “country folk” will not be beaten down.

So now we have to work locally to re-build our community. Homes, barns, fenc-ing, etc, all need to be redone. This takes time and of course many resources. But we will make it through. We have proven our resilience; we have proven our ability to love and support each other in such a time of need.

And like all things; real estate will also continue and go forward. Homes lost in the

fire that were for sale may become vacant parcels of land for sale. And while harder for a buyer to get financing on vacant land, some parcels may become more attractive to a buyer because they can build their own home now.

And with the first cov-erings of the winter snow, the black of the land will disappear from sight and hopefully from our hearts and a fresh and new

spring full of new life will be waiting for us. We won’t be the same as we were, but we will transform into something new and our beloved Boundary Country will continue.

To all those who lost their homes and/or property, my heart goes out to you. And I hope to be able to continue to support my friends and neighbours as best as I can in this time of rebuilding and rebirth.

On a personal note you won’t find me at my usual Rock Creek Fall Fair Booth this year, as it will be my mom and partner, Di-ane Biernaskie’s, one year anniversary of her death on Sept. 19. But I will be at the fair at some point over the weekend.

It was Aug. 13 at approxi-mately 5:30 p.m. when I stood in front of my dresser, hands shaking as I tried to find the clothes that I would need as I attempted to ignore my tears.

This was the disgusting amalgamation of fear and shame: fear, because a fire was racing towards my home at a seemingly unstoppable rate, ready to consume my house and all of the memories inside of it, and shame, because I selfishly would not think of the people whose homes had already been swallowed into the bloated belly of the fire.

Earlier, I had been home alone with my younger sister, with the other three members of my family away at work. Shealyn approached me, panicked; iPod clutched in her hands as she told me her friend could see the fire from her drive-way.

I told her to stay calm. She’d be telling me to do the same, later.

Our father came home shortly af-

ter and we began to form a game plan that was less of a plan and more of an unco-ordinated flurry of “pack the important things.” I grabbed my laptop, a copy of The Hu-mans by Matt Haig, a jar of change that was really only important because it had a stack of old movie tickets in-side, and an old stuffed ani-mal simply named Puppy. I

felt like there was more, but a bag can only fit so many memories.

My mother and sister were stopped at Big White, there were evacuees from Rock Creek and Westbridge, and there were people with babies, dogs and no gas, piling up outside the Beaverdell Community Hall.

We had a sign up sheet and a few vol-unteers. My father became an errand boy, driving between our house (we col-lected water bottles, and then food to be barbecued) and the Hall Creek Rest Area to make phone calls.

My mother was told she could not

come home. She drove to Kelowna and started kicking up a fuss with anybody who would listen.

We were exhausted and at a loss. We fed evacuees food from our fridges (that were running warm due to the power outage) and gave them information that changed as soon as soon as we got enough cell service to make calls.

My sister’s friend had been evacuated to her father’s house, but soon Rhone would be on alert and they prepared to move again. I had heard that we might be evacuated by the end of the night.

I wished I’d had time to properly as-sess what I wanted to take with me, but the fiery demon spared no time, slink-ing towards my home. It was dark, I was tired, and yet I had the distinct feeling that I would not sleep that night.

My deepest fear was that I would awake with smoke in my lungs.

We were lucky; the fire never reached us, but I will never, ever forget the terror that gripped my community that night. My heart goes out to those that lost ev-erything.

It was a night of terrorA TEENAGE

Greenwood’s iconic Museum and Visitor Centre is winding down activi-ties for the season, as the summer comes to an end and schools prepare to reopen. Despite the wildfires that effectively brought tourism to a grinding halt in the middle of August, the centre enjoyed a terrific summer as far as numbers are concerned.

“The number of visitors is up signifi-cantly over last year,” said Greenwood Heritage Society president Doreen Ma-cLean. “The low dollar has kept B.C. people at home touring their province.

The last week of August usually slows down as families are getting their kids ready to go back to school.”

Summer employees Thao and Thinh Atkinson, in their second and third years respectively, have both enjoyed their tenures at the centre.

When asked which part of their jobs was the most appealing, both agreed that it was welcoming tourists from all areas of the globe.

“Visitors are always so nice to deal with and very happy when we are able to direct them toward interesting sights

in this very historical area,” Thinh said.Museum visitors and employees alike

were kept nice and cool during the sti-fling heat wave of June and July, courtesy of a newly-installed air conditioning system, made possible by a New Hori-zons grant, and museum staff looks for-ward to another stretch of fine weather in 2016.

The centre will remain open until the end of October and will reopen on May 1, although tours of the facility are pos-sible by appointment.
