Balancing a budget is going to be a future tightrope act for School District 20.

The SD20 board is finding the $250,000 needed to bal-ance this school year’s prelimi-nary budget, but more alarm-ing is the 2016-2017 school year projection of an estimated $1.35 million shortfall.

“That $1.3 (million) is going to be a real kick in the ass,” CUPE president Roger Smith told the board at Monday night’s regular meeting in

Trail.He’s hopeful secretary-trea-

surer Natalie Verigin’s projec-tions are right on the money for the following year (2017-2018), where enrolment num-bers are set to stabilize and add ease to budgetary lines.

The board is using $250,000 earmarked for the 2016-2017 budget to balance the current year after recalculating its funding protection supple-ment, which is based on the previous year’s base funding.

“We had a (special educa-tion enrolment) audit and had students that weren’t in compliance so we had to

return our money last year,” explained Verigin.

“Overall, we received less money last year so this year our formula, our supplement that we used when we created our preliminary budget, was wrong because we used an estimate from the year before, which was inaccurate.”

There are rules around who gets special education support in terms of students and there is a dollar value attached, explained Darrel Ganzert, board chair.

“They (auditors) looked through our entire system and found that we were let-

ting kids into special ed and receiving funding for them and in the strict definition of the criteria, as they saw it, we were not complying with the rules,” he explained, alluding to some discussion around special education underway.

The board is also looking ahead by using the ministry’s “funding estimator tool” to a year of cuts, if a predicted $1.35 million shortfall pegged for next year comes to fruition.

Ganzert attributes most of this projected deficit to the one-time funding of $250,000 moved to this year’s budget, $500,000 doled out for the

funding protection supple-ment and close to $400,000 of pressure to administrative savings.

“There is a light at the end of the tunnel around declining enrolment,” he said.

“If all projections are cor-rect, we will have steady enrol-ment starting the 2017/18 year, which means we won’t have to come up with $500,000 a year after that.

“Admin savings is a two-year program,” he added. “It was just out of the blue and came from nowhere, with no rational for it from the gov-ernment.”

The school board is giving local groups a break by cutting a new rental fee rate structure in half for this year alone.

After rental revenues didn’t cover the hard costs associat-ed with renting out its facili-ties, SD20’S Board of Education upped its facility rental price tag and terminated its generous fee waiver process this fall.

But after careful consider-ation of non-profits scrambling to find new money to cover the sudden jump, a committee of the whole reviewed the new policy and softened the news at Monday night’s regular school board meeting.

Rather than charging renters $150 to use SD20 space (class, library, cafeteria, gym or com-puter room) per day or $25 an hour, the board has decided to ask for half this — $75 per day

and $12.50 an hour for this year.“The criticism was that it

came kind of out of the blue to all these organizations, that they didn’t have enough time to plan for it, and the ones run-ning programs would have to jack up their prices,” said Darrel Ganzert, board chair. “We said, ‘OK we understand that argu-ment so we’ll cut the fee in half this year but for the coming year, we’re going to the full rate.’”

But not after much debate at the board table, where some trustees like Mickey Kinakin didn’t like the “blanket order” and preferred a review board that dealt with applications as they rolled in. And trustee Mark Wilson questioned the board’s collective voice, one that couldn’t stick to a policy that brought in revenue but sold schools for a buck.

Previously, groups could apply for waivers and exemp-tion of fees based on a formula,

which led to the board cutting costs by 50 per cent to 100 per cent if users were nonprofit or supported school-aged kids. The former process resulted in most renters paying nothing to utilize a district space except for a one-time $30 annual administration fee.

“Costs are estimated at $12,000, whereas revenues were on average $2,000 to $3,600,” Natalie Verigin, secretary-trea-surer previously explained to the board. “The revenues are low be-cause of the generous fee waiver process.”

As a result, the board decided it needed to recoup the $10,000.

“The criticism we’re hearing is that taxpayers pay for that build-ing, and people are absolutely right, taxpayers did pay for it, just like they paid for the up-keep of the Cominco arena, the aquatic centre, the complex in Castlegar and nobody gets those for free,” added Ganzert.

News

After a hard fought final battle between two war novels, Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden and The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway, the winner of this year’s Rossland Reads has emerged.

The final debate took place on Thursday at New Edition Café and Books, and in a close vote that was ultimate-ly determined by the panelists themselves, The Cellist of Sarajevo, defended by Jane Therriault, was voted the book that every Rosslander should read.

During the debate, moderator Jennifer Ellis asked both Therriault and Penny Johnson, who was defending Three Day Road, what made their book specifi-cally suited to Rossland.

Therriault argued that her book, about a cellist who plays on the street during the siege of his city, is specifically suited to Rossland be-cause it reminds readers of the value of the arts.

“The greater theme of The Cellist of Sarajevo is to remind the reader of the importance of the arts in society, because art is civilization and it is a beautiful expres-sion of humanity. Art is what is behind our history and it’s what we remember. Art is about showing our feelings,” she said.

Johnson argued that her book, about two

Cree boys in the First World War, was espe-cially suited to Rossland in November, as many Rosslanders turned out for the Remembrance Day ceremony at the cenotaph. She also ar-gued that the book gives Rosslanders a bet-ter understanding of what happened at resi-dential schools and the role Canada and First Nations soldiers played in the war.

“It exposed to many people for the first time the role of First Nations during the First World War. There was no conscription dur-ing the First World War and yet thousands of Aboriginals volun-teered,” she said. “And you know interestinly enough, Aboriginals didn’t get the right to vote until 1960.”

Therriault obvi-ously voted against her competition, as did Johnson. Lise Levesque and Maddie Snelgrove,

whose books were voted out in the previous two debates, both cast their elimination votes for different books.

Levesque voted to eliminate The Cellist of Sarajevo, and came into the final debate know-ing how she’d vote. Though she thought that Therriault had made a strong case for the book, that didn’t sway her.

“I thought that the debate for The Cellist of Sarajevo was really strong, and I knew it was a strong book. I thought it was going to be a tight race the whole time, but my vote was pretty solid,” she said.

Snelgrove voted to eliminate Three Day Road because though she thought both books were beautiful, she enjoyed The Cellist of Sarajevo more.

“Between the two [books] I had personal-ly enjoyed The Cellist of Sarajevo more. I think

probably because of the sheer amount of gore and graphic images in Three Day Road, it was a little bit tougher for me to work through. Whereas The Cellist of Sarajevo, it was beau-tiful throughout. They were both absolutely beautiful,” she said. “I think as well The Cellist of Sarajevo automatical-ly kind of stood out to me because I’ve always been an enormous fan of cello music. It makes me cry when I listen to it, and I just have that kind of longing and [I’m] sort of drawn to it.”

Snelgrove said it also helped that she didn’t have as many expecta-tions for The Cellist.

“So many people had told me over and over how much they love Three Day Road, and it’s one of their favourite books,” she explained. “I hate going into books with expectations from other people, and hav-

ing them not meet the expectations at least for me, just because every-one reads a book differ-ently and everyone en-joys a book differently.”

Ellis revealed that The Cellist of Sarajevo was a front-runner throughout the com-petition, receiving no votes against it in the first week, and very few votes against it in the second.

Therriault was sur-prised to learn her book had taken the lead from the beginning.

“I was surprised; I’m not sure why,” she said. “I kind of figured that it wasn’t a real heavy weight because people talk about Three Day Road all the time, and The Birth House is a fab-ulous book. I loved the graphic novel (This One Summer), I’m going to read more graphic nov-els, and yeah, it just sur-prised me.”

Therriault enjoyed participating, and said

that participating as a debater also made her read the books much more carefully that she normally would.

“I read so carefully, which is something we don’t often do, and I had to be much more thoughtful about all of the books that I read, and so it was kind of back to basics reading,” she said.

Despite her book being edged out in the final round, Johnson

didn’t seem too disap-pointed and was happy to have participated in the debate.

“I thought it was a really fun event. It could have gone either way, but I mean all the books were fantastic,” she said. “It was just a great event to be able to participate in.”

Rossland/Trail Interact Club Upcoming fundraising activities planned

October and November are always very busy months, and they were especially busy for the Rossland-Trail Interact Club. On Halloween, we did Halloween for Hunger, which meant that we went house to house in Rossland collecting non-perishables for the local food bank. It was a very successful fundraiser—we collected over 400 items! We thank the community for their generos-ity. We also raised money through our leaf raking fundraiser; you may have noticed the posters up around town. We raked eight yards that were beautifully covered in au-tumn leaves. Thank you to the families who took part and gave us extremely generous donations. Looking ahead, there are also many fundraisers coming up in the next few months.

In Syria, there has been, and is currently, a lot of violence happening — around 240,000 people have been killed, and one million more are permanently disabled or wounded. Twelve million Syrians have fled the country and approximately half are children — some of whom are leaving by themselves. Trying to help out in any way we can, we are hold-ing a “Loonie War” at Crowe from Nov. 5-27. Each grade is divided into girls and

boys so that each group has a jar, and the aim is to put as many loonies in your own jar as possible because only loonies count as positive value. You can put non-loonies (paper bills, nickels, dimes ) in the opposite teams’ jars because they count for negative value and are deducted from their total positive amount of loonies. For example, if one jar has one loonie and one quarter, their total would be seventy-five cents. The jar that raises the most money will get to pick a crazy and fun task from a list of challenges that teachers have agreed to do. Some items on the list include dying eyebrows pink, wearing a clown costume for the day, and even challenges entitled “anything” — a challenge that is to be negotiated with the winning team. All the money that is raised will be donated to the refugee families cur-rently in Rossland (or to be sponsored to live in Rossland through the West Kootenay Friends of Refugees) and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) which is an international agency mandated to help resolve refugee problems and to protect refugees.

The last fundraiser we are currently working on is a Facebook auction. We have done this before and hope that it is as suc-cessful. Starting Dec. 1, we will be uploading pictures of various items to the Facebook page “Interact Online Auction” that busi-

ness owners from Trail and Rossland have very generously donated to. From there, you can bid on the items by commenting on each post until bidding ends on Dec. 15. The money will go towards our volunteer trip to Guatemala, where we are going to help out the families, children and overall communi-ty. We are looking for donations, and many businesses have already responded with en-thusiasm. If you would like to help by donat-ing an item or supporting us financially, or if

you would like to contact us, please do so at: [email protected]

The club’s goal is to help out both our local and global community. Thank you to all the families who have already helped us with our goal. We hope you look forward to the months to come because Interact is just getting started.

City Council Brief: November 24

Affordable housingJan Morton from the Lower

Columbia Affordable Housing Society spoke during public input and requested a letter of renewed support from council for the pur-chase of affordable rental housing in the community. The society has ap-plied for funding from the Columbia Basin Trust and BC Housing, who’ve made it clear that they really want-ed to see municipal participation. Morton asked council to confirm that they would be open to consider-ing a permissive tax exemption for the project in 2017 (the deadline for 2016 has already passed).

Council voted to approve Morton’s request.

Kootenay Smoke Free CoalitionAndrea Winckers and Christy

Anderson from BC Cancer Agency Prevention Programs, and Keri Wall from Interior Health presented to council on the negative health, en-vironmental and economic impacts of smoking and proposed that the City of Rossland adopt an outdoor smoking bylaw that prohibits smok-ing on trails, in parks and other rec-reation facilities, within 7.5 meters of windows, doors and air intakes, and on bar and restaurant patios.

Council asked Mayor Kathy Moore to liaise with the delegation to look at possible drafts for a bylaw.

Strategic Community Energy and Emissions Plan

Council adopted the Strategic Community Energy and Emissions Plan (SCEEP) that was developed at a workshop facilitated by the

Community Energy Association in September. City of Rossland Council members, city staff and representatives from the Energy Task Force, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, Fortis BC and a certified energy advisor attended the workshop, which was funded by FortisBC PowerSense and Columbia Basin Trust.

The Community Energy Association will give the City of Rossland 4o hours of follow up support in implementing the plan, and so staff recommended six ac-tions that council could consider for that support.

Councillor Andrew Zwicker made a motion to choose the first option, which was to offer tax exemptions for energy efficient upgrades to residential buildings, but didn’t receive support from the

rest of council.Instead council chose the second

action, which is a plan to reduce energy consumption and emissions for City of Rossland operations.

Washington St. AdvisoryTask Force

During his member report, Councillor Lloyd McLellan in-troduced a motion to form an advisory task force to provide ad-ditional resources and support for the Washington St. Infrastructure Renewal project. The committee would consist of appointed city staff, a representative of the owner, several Rossland citizens with engi-neering qualifications, and a council representative.

Council approved the motion and appointed McLellan to draft the terms of reference and the criteria for selection for the task force.

CHELSEA NOVAKRossland News

Tourism Rossland is excited to announce that they have been successful in secur-ing a grant of $183,018 for the next two years to promote the Lower Columbia area. The funding is part of the Community Directed Funds from the Columbia Basin Trust, which is being admin-istered by the Lower Columbia Community Development Team Society (LCCDTS).

As a first step, Destination BC facili-tated a strategic plan-ning session Thursday, Nov. 16 with a wide range of stakehold-ers across the Lower Columbia including politicians, tourism businesses, arts coun-cils, golf courses and other tourism suppliers.

This funding will allow Tourism Rossland to extend some of their initiatives to the en-

tire Lower Columbia Region. Building on the success of their other projects, it is seen as a tremendous opportu-nity for the entire area to benefit from the ac-tivities that Tourism Rossland has success-fully put together in the past. Some of the proj-ects will include the en-hancement of a multi-community photobank, video creation, events coordination and other marketing initiatives.

Bruce LeRose, Chair of the Community Directed Funds Committee said after extensive stakeholder engagement, the pri-orities for this funding were determined to be tourism and eco-nomic development. By working with Tourism Rossland we are con-fident that we will be able to have a signifi-cant impact on the local tourism economy, and at the same time, attract people to move to the Lower Columbia after

seeing all this beautiful area has to offer.

Deanne Steven, from Tourism Rossland said, “We will leverage the funding with a variety of

initiatives to $383,018, and promote the area to a wider audience and in a collaborative way. We are really excited to get started on this.”

On Sunday, Nov. 29 Rossland will partici-pate in a global event to demand action against climate change.

The West Kootenay EcoSociety will be hold-ing a climate vigil out-side the Rossland Public Library at 12:30 p.m. the day before the Paris UN climate summit “to demand Canada does its fair share in reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to 100 per cent renewable energy, as well as supporting the most vulnerable people around the globe.”

“What we’re doing

is in solidarity [and] in support for … the climate action summit, and we’re just wanting to support it and show our solidarity from our little place in Rossland,” says Jayne Doxtater, local EcoSociety organizer in Rossland.

A petition will cir-culate during the rally, asking people to sign to show their support for reducing emissions and moving to 100 per cent renewable energy sources.

There will be several speakers at the event. Doxtater says she’ll start things off and then Mayor Kathy Moore and one of the councillor will

hopefully speak (though as of Friday, this wasn’t yet confirmed).

“With our newly elected government in Ottawa, I am finally hopeful and encour-aged that Canada will take a leadership role to address the challeng-es of climate change. Many thanks to the West Kootenay EcoSociety for organizing this event. It’s a small gesture of Rossland’s support for real change,” said Mayor Moore in a press release for the event.

Doxtater also says she’s trying to arrange for a religious leader to participate.

Information regarding

the Paris summit will be available at the rally and there will be an update from the EcoSociety’s community organizer Montana Burgess, who will be in Paris for the summit.

“I’m excited to have the privilege to be in Paris for the summit and the climate march,” Burgess said in the press release. “In the wake of the horrific attacks on Friday in Paris and Beirut, it’s more impor-tant than ever that we stand together for justice, peace and dealing with the climate crisis at home in the Kootenays and around the world.”

There was supposed

to be a climate march in Paris on Nov. 29, but after the terrorist attacks authorities decided to cancel the event. Other rallies will still be taking place across the globe.

Though the start time for the vigil here in Rossland is 12:30 p.m., Doxtater says they will probably start gathering outside the library at noon with live musical entertainment.

“We’re hoping to have a little bit of music before everybody comes to en-courage people that are walking by … to kind of take a look and see what’s going on,” she said.

Rosslanders are en-couraged to bring signs and banners with mes-sages of hope for a future with 100 per cent renew-able energy. They should also dress warmly, and invite family and friends.

A candle will be pro-vided for the vigil.

“It is a candle light vigil, even though we’re doing it during the day. It’s really just symbolic,” said Doxtater.

There are also cli-mate events planned for Nelson and Castlegar on Nov. 29. Participants from all events are invited to share their photos and updates using the hashtag #KootsClimateRally.

Tourism Rossland receives funding for Lower Columbia

There was a festive feeling in the air at Rossland Summit School (RSS) on Wednesday, Nov. 18, as the Parent Advisory Council (PAC) hosted its first annual Christmas Market.

The PAC decided to hold the mar-ket to help raise money to compensate for cuts to BC education.

“A lot funding has been cut, … [and] lots of students come to us ask-

ing for field trip money, gym equip-ment, pretty much anything towards the school, computers …. They come to us to see if we have the money to support them,” said Keri-Lynn Prough, co-chair of PAC.

The market featured a number of vendors selling everything from hand-made coat racks made from hockey sticks to handmade soaps and oils.

Each vendor paid a table fee, and PAC also collected $2 entry fees and donations to the door prize.

Community music teachers and their students, and the J.L. Crowe Secondary School Band provided music throughout the evening, greet-ing market goers as they came in.

Attendance at the event was strong, and Prough hopes the PAC will be able to run a Christmas market again next year, building on this first suc-cess.

“We’re hoping to make it annual, so just watch for our flyers next year,” she said.

Rossland Summit School’s new multi-age classroom celebrated its student’s accomplishments with a Home Learning Expo on Monday and Tuesday.

The multi-age class is open to students from Grades 2 to 5, and every Friday students from the class stay at home, doing self-di-rected learning with their parents. The expo was a chance for them to show what they’ve been working on so far this year.

“What they’ve been working on this autumn, for this term, are a variety of projects depending on their personal interest,” said class teacher Bridget O’Malley. “So that’s what we’re doing today. We’re showcasing whatever would have been their big project.”

Mckenna White, in Grade 3, did projects on hydraulics and the moon.

For her hydraulics project she made three hydraulics operated models using store-bought sets.

“The reason why hydraulics are so amazing and useful is because they’re so much stronger than mo-tors because they use the water,” she explained as she showed how her models work.

Madison Pols, Grade 3, made a scratching post for her cat Binks and learned to draw horses.

Her dad, a journeyman carpen-ter, helped her build the scratching post and showed her how to use power tools.

“I learned … it’s important to learn how to use these tools be-cause if you don’t know how to use them you could really hurt your-self,” she said.

Marcus Hamm, Grade 5, based his project around the video game Minecraft.

He worked on his reading skills while reading up on how to build things in the game, and learned how to video record what he was doing on screen and how to edit in iVideo so he could make videos showing what he’d built.

“We watched lots of Ted Talks about Minecraft, like how it was educational and stuff, and we also made snow globes,” he explained.

Marcus’s snow globes have tiny Minecraft characters inside, and he also learned how to play “Dark Horse” by Katy Perry.

Bobby Edge, Grade 3, learned to code and storyboard while work-ing on building animations in a program called Tynker.

He also did a project where he

learned about microbes.“I learned that if a bacterium

was the size of a bus, then a virus would be the size of a worm, and that if they were the size of us, they would be as fast as a cheetah,” he said.

Therin Rawthorne, Grade 4, learned all about wolves and built a diorama showing a wolf den. He also made his own ink and at-tended karate class for his physical education component.

This is the first year RSS has run a multi-age classroom.

“The really unique thing about it is the partnership with the fami-lies, and that the families play a key role in supporting their children with their personal learning,” said O’Malley.

So far parents seem to be enjoy-ing the unorthodox classroom.

“I’m finding that my kids are really excited about learning,” said Brenda Henry, McKenna’s mom, who also has another child in the multi-age class.

The home learning component of the class has been especially in-teresting for parents to experience.

“I get to see a little more of how they’re learning … and un-derstanding that, and being able to help them,” said Henry. “And

they’ve had to take a part in their own learning as well.”

“It’s been interesting [with] the self-based learning that the kids want to do. You just have to figure it out with them,” said Kendall Pols, Madison’s mom.

Parents have also found that being in a classroom with kids of different ages has benefited their children.

“It gives the older children a great opportunity for leadership, positive leadership skills, and it’s been a great opportunity for the

kids to interact with different ages and learn how to get along,” said Pols.

Linda Schulze, Marcus’s mom, agrees.

“It’s been a good experience for him because he’s a younger child and so he’s used to going along and doing what other people tell him to do,” she said. “Now he has to do two things: he has to show leader-ship — he has to show how kids are supposed to act in the class — and he also has to help create a cohe-sive learning environment.”

The 2015 Sculpturewalk Gala was held at the Element on Saturday night, and there resi-dents of Castlegar learned which sculpture had won the People’s Choice Award and would there-fore be purchased by the city.

This year’s winner was “Regeneration” by Christopher Petersen and Spring Shine from Argenta, BC.

The sculpture is made from 1300 feet of logging cable sculpt-ed into a hollow stump with a bench inside. It weights around 1300 lbs.

“We called it regeneration be-cause we put a small cedar tree growing out of it and we want-ed to kind of celebrate the way that the forest has supported our communities,” explained Shine. “Our cities, our communities have grown from the wood that we’ve harvested, and yet this new life is growing out of it.”

“And the materials that we used are literally used to harvest logs,” added Petersen.

This is Petersen’s third year participating in Sculpturewalk and Shine’s fourth year. They were both humbled and grateful to win this year’s People’s Choice Award.

“It’s a pat on the back, and in the case of Sculpturewalk and people like Spring and I who … because of our personalities, we don’t really need inspira-tion so much for doing things, but certainly having a piece win is a great inspiration, a pat on the back, and a stepping stone for what might happen,” said Petersen.

He and Shine also won sec-ond place in the Artistic Merit category.

Charlene Covington, presi-dent of Sculpturewalk, explained that “this category is juried by local and regional members of

the arts community based on a variety of criteria, including skill of the portrayal, use of the me-dium, complexity, workmanship and overall artistic merit.”

Third place in the Artistic Merit category went to Betty Branch from Roanoke, Va. for her sculpture “Emma by the River.”

First place went to Nathan Smith from Nelson for “V Formation,” which also took sec-ond place in the People’s Choice

Award category.Smith’s sculpture was inspired

by kinetic sculpture artist Bob Potts and was made using re-cycled bicycle parts.

He says that being part of Sculturewalk has encouraged him to push himself as an artist.

“It’s so good to have a place, a platform to actually show your art. I’ve been in it for three years now and it’s really encouraged me as an artist to explore the me-dium and push the boundaries, where without this opportunity, I know I wouldn’t have been able to do that,” said Smith.

Third place in the People’s Choice Award category went to Dale Lewis from Hastings, Minn. for “Beaver.”

Covington was thrilled with this year’s entries.

“I think they just keep get-ting better and better every year,” said the Sculpturewalk president. “Every year we have more en-trants, so we have more choice and I just think the artists keep upping their game and bringing us better and nicer pieces.”

The awards ceremony was fol-lowed by entertainment provided by comedians Lucas Myers and Bessie Wapp, and dance numbers by the Circus Act Insomniacs.

With the exception of “Regeneration,” this year’s piec-es can still be claimed by busi-nesses, groups, or individuals. Purchasing or leasing a piece helps support the artists who’ve contributed.

“When we sell or lease a piece, the bulk of the money goes back to the artist, so that really helps keep the artists motivated to want to put their pieces in,” said Covington.

Rossland Mayor Kathy Moore and Renate Fleming, president of the Rossland Council for Arts and Culture, attended the event and said the City of Rossland will consider purchasing one of this year’s sculptures.

The fall edition of House & Home has hit Kootenay newsstands, and inside you can learn about green building, freeing yourself from clutter and the best way to store your wine.

“Knowing the average home is saturated with products and pro-cesses harmful to personal and global health, I paraphrase Dr. King to say it is no longer a choice between green building and non-green building in the world, it’s green building and non-existence,” writes Nelson architect Matthew Stanley.

In his piece Building Green, Stanley goes through the different certifica-tion programs that exist locally for green building, and highlights the work of Carrie Fitzsimons and Dave Oosthuizen.

“Building green is about design-ing for today and for tomorrow,” he writes.

Elsewhere in the issue Laurel Collins writes about “how to create a clean canvas for a fresh start to anything you want”.

“Creating a clean slate means de-cluttering and this includes all kinds of clutter,” she writes. “Common clut-ter, as well as mental and emotional clutter.”

She offers simple strategies to rid your house of the old magazines, broken toys and junk drawers.

Trisha Elliott writes about a dream home in Shutty Bench.

“This elaborate blue and white palace of pillars, turrets, angles and contours sits upon an elegant, land-scaped property that extends down to a sandy beach,” she writes.

The piece includes an interview with Rick Short, owner of Red Dog Carpentry.

Elliott also writes about flooring, and interviewed Wendi Thomson of Maglio’s Building Centre.

Other stories in the issue are by Andrea Bell about winter planning and Wendy Kelly on wine storage.

House & Home is published twice a year by Black Press.

Trails Society establishes fundThe Kootenay Columbia

Trails Society(KCTS) has estab-lished an endowment fund to ensure the future of its trail net-work.

The Kootenay Columbia Trails for Tomorrow Fund has been created through the LeRoi Foundation, and will pay out to the KCTS on a yearly basis.

“Interest from the earnings on the fund will go back to the Trails Society for its charitable programs or the development of its trails,” said Louise McEwan, chairperson of the LeRoi Community Foundation.

The fund has been set up in perpetuity and is open for any-one to contribute to.

“So for example, it could be a large donation; if someone wanted to leave the fund a be-quest in their will, they could do that,” said McEwan. “If some-body didn’t know what to give that person for Christmas, they could make a donation in their name to the Trails for Tomorrow Fund.”

The initial capital amount the KCTS contributed was $16,450, and the society has raised $20,150 in total this year.

In addition to donations, the society receives $100,000 of local government funding, but the funding is approved on a year to year basis, and the society wanted to ensure it can continue to maintain and grow the trail

network.“We want to make sure we

have some long-term funding that’s internally generated, so we diversify our funding a little bit,” said Frank Ramovs, direc-tor of the KCTS. “If our funding stays stable then we will use this money every year to make the network stronger and better.”

Generating internal revenue also gives the society an oppor-tunity to multiply funding.

“Oftentimes what happens is, if we have project funding then we can multiply that by getting other organizations, like the Columbia Basin Trust for ex-ample, [to match] funding,” said Ramovs. “So if we have $2,000 in generated income, we may be

able to double or triple that.”The KCTS will receive its first

interest payment from the fund a year from now.

Those who’d like to donate to the fund can do so by mak-ing out a cheque to the LeRoi Community Foundation, with Kootenay Columbia Trails for Tomorrow Fund in the memo field, and sending it to PO Box 3, Trail, BC, V1R 4L3. Credit card users can donate on the KCTS website at www.kcts.ca by including a comment to let the KCTS know their donation is for the fund.

Corporate sponsors can con-tact Ramovs at 250-362-7136 or email [email protected].

As temperatures decrease during the fall and winter months, energy usage and costs tend to climb. � ese � ve energy-saving tips for your home will ensure the comfort of your family and your wallet.

1. Adjust your thermostat. Lower the heat on your thermostat while you are away from home and before you go to bed. Better yet, invest in a programmable ther-mostat so you don’t have to give it a second thought.

2. Seal gaps around windows and doors. Cracks and gaps around windows and doors can let cold dra� s into your home. Weather-stripping or caulking will seal these problem areas and keep your home warmer, without having to turn up the heat.

3. Insulate well to protect your home from the cold.

Add insulation to your basement walls, headers or attic to make a noticeable di� erence in the temperature of your home and its energy consumption. A mineral wool product speci� cally designed for thermal performance, such as Roxul Comfortbatt, is ideal. � is type of batt in-sulation will also provide protection from � re, moisture and unwanted noise. Adding insulation is one of the simplest and most-cost e� ective ways to increase home energy e� ciency.

4. Make use of natural sources of heat. Pull back your curtains to let natural light in. � e sun can help to warm a room with its rays on a bright fall or winter day. If there are any large windows in your home that don’t receive much sunlight, keep the curtains closed to form

a barrier from the cold.5. Use ceiling fans to your advantage. In the winter,

set the fan to rotate clockwise. � e blades will pull the air up and around, redirecting warm air that rises back down into the living space. � e e� ect can help you lower your thermostat by two degrees in the winter. While cutting back on energy may seem more challenging as the weather gets colder, it doesn’t have to be. � ere are many no- or low-cost methods to conserve energy that can provide consistent savings over time.
