IDs still not official By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com

Wildfire lights up Puddinghead Mountain off Bypass Road in Keremeos on Saturday, June 2. A grass fire began near the west end of the bypass late Saturday afternoon, challenging Keremeos, Kaleden and BC Forestry ground and air crews.
Eight weeks after the arrest of three Canadians off the coast of New Caledonia, French authorities remain silent as to the identification of the trio. It is widely assumed at this point that the three were residents of the Okanagan-Similkameen. Following the Review’s story about the arrest in the May 17 edition, an article in the June 3 edition of the Vancouver Province revealed three names, but as yet there is no official confirmation of the identities. John Babcock, Director of Communication for the Ministry of Consular Affairs told the Review on June 4 that the ministry remains limited as to what they can say about the case. “Consular officials in Australia and New Caledonia are providing consular services,” he told the Review, noting that consular officials are addressing issues pertaining to any health concerns those in detention might have, and ensuring that the justice system is followed in a timely, transparent process. Babcock could not provide details regarding the workings of the French justice system, but noted that in some countries a philosophy of “guilty until proven innocent exists, opposite to the Canadian justice system. It could take months - or longer - before the three Canadians go to trial. (The French judicial system is based on the Napoleonic Code, meaning that under laws in that country, one is presumed guilty until proven innocent.).
Fire season begins early in Keremeos with weekend wildfire By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Fire crews from Keremeos, Kaleden and the B.C. Forest Service battled a grass fire on Bypass Road in Keremeos on Saturday, June 2. The fire began approximately 4 p.m. in a field near the west end of the bypass, spreading to the north. Trees at the base of Puddinghead Mountain could be seen candling as the flames moved through the sparsely treed hillside, fed by moderately strong winds. A water bomber made three passes across the fire front on Saturday evening, dropping retardant, and
a helicopter was also put to work through Saturday evening. Crews worked to contain the fire to keep it from reaching the dump. Strong winds on Saturday afternoon and evening were a factor, necessitating a fire crew to be on scene through the night. Keremeos firefighters, along with forestry crews, worked to overhaul the burn on Sunday morning. Kaleden firefighters were put to work protecting a couple of residences close to the fire. They were released from the scene around 9:30 p.m. Firefighters managed to contain the blaze to the hillside, and no buildings were lost, although a wind change could have had severe consequences. Cooler temperatures on Sunday and rain Monday
morning aided forestry crews still on the mountain doing mop up. Even with more favourable conditions, the odd tree could still be seen going up in flames on Monday morning. It is unknown at this time exactly what started the fire, although suspicions are that it was human caused. An eyewitness told the Review that they saw a neighbour burning material in their backyard prior to the fire. A total of 19 firefighters from Keremeeos and Kaleden attended the blaze, (including four on mutual aid from Kaleden,) and a number of forestry personnel. One residence voluntarily evacuated late Saturday afternoon, although it was felt that no homes were under imminent threat from the flames.

Road resurfacing continued last week in Keremeos as a section of Twelfth Avenue near Pine Park was torn up and prepped for repaving. It is unknown exactly how long the reconstruction will take to complete. Poor weather this week is expected to result in a completion delay as well.

Report says children don’t get enough active playtime Modern life, security fears and a lack of role models for children are contributing to a recent rating for Canadian kids of an “F” grade for active play and leisure By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com On a beautiful sunny and warm late May afternoon, a tour of Keremeos’ two public playgrounds in Pine and Memorial Parks revealed no one making use of them. According to the 2012 Active Healthy Kids Canada Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth, Canadian children and youth are not playing enough; assigning an “F” grade for Active Play and Leisure. “ I can’t say that I have really seen much of a change (with respect to use) at Memorial Park,” said Wendy Kerr, who works in the Keremeos Municipal office across the street from Memorial Park’s playground. “Maybe more of the younger set, with a parent,” she added. The village made major improvements to both playgrounds in the past two years, adding equipment and
improving the fall material on the playgrounds. “Unstructured play is declining with each generation, and this is having a negative effect on the health and wellness of our children and youth,” says Dr. Mark Tremblay, Chief Scientific Officer, Active Healthy Kids Canada, and Director of HALO. “Kids of all ages should have regular opportunities for active play, where they can let loose, explore, run, climb, crawl and play in parks with friends, like their parents once did. Active play is fun, but it is also shown to improve a child’s motor function, creativity, decision-making, problem-solving and social skills.” Modern day attitudes towards children’s safety may also have something to do with the low turnout at public playgrounds. Fears of child predators keep children at home when a parent is unavailable to supervise them - a generation ago, most parents didn’t think twice about sending their kids to a place like Pine Park to play the afternoon away, unencumbered by a parents watchful eye. Fifty-eight per cent of Canadian parents say they are very concerned about keeping their children safe and feel they have to be over-protective of them. Safety concerns, whether or not they are founded, such as crime, traffic, neighbourhood danger, outdoor dark-

ness and lack of supervision, discourage parents from letting their children and youth play outdoors. To ensure Canadian children of all ages have opportunities for active play, parents and caregivers can encourage children to choose active play over more sedentary behaviours, such as sitting in front of screens. After school and weekends are opportune times to encourage active play, especially outdoors. An additional benefit for parents is that active play does not have to cost anything. To address safety concerns, parents and caregivers can take turns supervising and playing with children outdoors or encourage kids to play with a buddy. Given the opportunity, kids want to play - 92 per cent of Canadian kids said they would choose playing with friends over watching TV. Tammy Hartfield heads up the SESS PAC organization. The Olalla mother of two feels that children’s activity in the Lower Similkameen may not be quite as bad as the national average. “I do think that safety issues can contribute to some the of lack of active play time in our area. I also know personally, that online gaming, Nintendo DS, etc. certainly have their appeal. However, we are also fortunate in our community because so many community groups see the value in healthy active living. We have the Similkameen Minor Sports Association (soccer & baseball), Jr. Tri Club (swimming, biking, running), Similkameen Recreation Centre (hockey, skating, swimming), School sports teams and also the PAC groups,” she commented. “The Cawston Primary PAC worked hard to purchase new playground equipment and SESS PAC has recently purchased new playground equipment that will hopefully be installed for the fall.” Not to forget, added Hartfield, is the Similkameen Trails Society, who have worked hard developing walking trails that are accessible to all. “As the weather has improved, I have noticed more kids in our neighborhood out biking, playing soccer and playing tag or hide ‘n’ seek. So as a rural community, I think we may be doing better than the report suggests,” she concluded.

Newspaper names Canadians involved in South Pacific drug bust By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The news is out - a weekend story in the Vancouver Province named the three Canadians under arrest in New Caledonia after police boarded their sailboat and found 200 kilograms of cocaine on March 31. (See the Review, May 17, “Canadians arrested off New Caledonian coast still unidentified.”) Bob and Cindy Stanley, and Gary Yuzik are reportedly being held in New Caledonia’s only prison, infamously known for its dirty and overcrowded conditions. The three are well known in the Lower Similkameen and South Okanagan. Bob Stanley worked for the Village of Keremeos for 21 years in the maintenance department. He became the village’s maintenance foreman in 2006, retiring on a long term disability in April of 2010. Although most of council and the village CAO did not know Stanley personally, CAO Laurie Taylor said that there was nothing in the files to indicate that there were issues with Stanley’s employment. The Stanley’s last known address was in Summerland. Gary Yuzik had a RE/Max real estate office in Keremeos for a period of time. The Gary Yuzik office was gutted by fire in 2009. A cause was never established. Yuzik also served as President of Similkameen Country, the local Chamber of Commerce, in 2009. The Osoyoos Times revealed the names of two residents arrested during a grow op bust on Cactus Crescent in Osoyoos on November 23, 2009. Gary Yuzik and his wife Evelyn were arrested and were alleged to have operated a grow op in the residence. They were facing charges of production of a controlled substance, but after a scheduled court appearance on Jan.13, 2010, the charges were dropped. Most recently, Yuzik was conducting business out of an office located in the OK Corral plaza in Okanagan Falls. Sources say the office was mysteriously and suddenly abandoned several months ago. Rumours circulated through Keremeos in March regarding the disappearance of the three when close friends did not hear from them for several weeks. Photos contributed New Caledonian authorities took several weeks to notify family members of their arrest, and to date have refused to disclose their Cindy and Bob Stanley identities to the public.

health WHAT IS THE NIA TECHNIQUE?
Transformational Fitness By Michelle Parry, Penticton, BC
There is a technique called Nia. It is a way of exercising and living in your body that is gentle and loving, and yet still supports your desire for endurance, strength, and flexibility. Nia blends dance styles, martial arts, and healing arts for a fitness program that is expressive, grounding, healing and empowering, while toning and strengthening the body and energies. Nia is fuelled by passion and directed by intent. Nia nudges us towards mindfulness. Becoming aware of how we move and why. Making movement choices increases the possibility of making new and healthy choices in our everyday moments. Choosing the path of least resistance, (or greatest ease), whether physical, emotional or mental attitudes are why Nia is transformational. Reclaim your power, balance and joy. Feel fully alive in your body and life. Nia coaxes us into a relationship with our body that is grounded in love and respect. An attitude that allows us to relax and surrender into the wisdom of the body, letting it teach the mind. Movements, emotions, thoughts, become sensations for us to observe from a powerful centered j place where we know who we are and can choose how to respond to the sensation. Try a Nia class and discover how Nia Brings Bodies Back to Life.
BRAIN INJURY AWARENESS MONTH
June is Brain Injury Awareness Month. The image of the brain being like a big blob of jelly encased in bone is quite graphic and indicates the importance of head protection. A damaged brain can affect one’s quality of life forever. It deserves to be protected.
SMOKING AND DENTAL HEALTH
If you are still a smoker, be sure you have your teeth and gums checked routinely. It seems that smokers go to the dentist less often than nonsmokers. Dental problems like jaw pain, toothaches and infected gums are found twice as often in smokers. See your dentist twice a year to keep dental problems to a minimum.
BLOOD PRESSURE IMPORTANT
We talk a lot about keeping your blood pressure low but can it be too low? Blood pressure that’s too low can cause symptoms of blurred vision, confusion, dizziness, fainting and subsequent falls. Have your blood pressure checked regularly. Home blood pressure kits are reliable and easy to use. A good investment.
NIGHT-TIME CRAMPS AFFECTING YOUR SLEEP?
Night-time cramps can be very painful and interrupt a good night’s sleep. Drugs can sometimes be the cause. Two groups of medications that may contribute to this problem are long-acting bronchodilator inhalers used for some lung conditions and diuretics to treat high blood pressure. Side effects can occur with many medications. If you are concerned whether your medications might be the cause, ask our pharmacists. We can access a large amount of information on all drugs and their side effects. It’s part of our job.

RDOS to conduct citizen survey RDOS press release The Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen Board wants to know what you think about your local government and will conduct a telephone citizen’s survey between June 1 and June 14. Approximately 400 residents will be telephoned asking to share their opinions and ideas about the regional district as their local government. Survey results will assist the regional board to evaluate programs, improve services, and set budget priorities. Significant sections of the survey will question residents on quality of life, service satisfaction, environment, communications, information technology, and fiscal responsibility. The 15 to 20 minute telephone survey is completely anonymous and will be conducted by Discovery Research with an accuracy of
plus or minus 4.9 per cent, at the 95 per cent confidence level. The number of surveys in each of our eight electoral areas is based on a percentage formula utilizing the 2011 Population Census. Chair Dan Ashton states, “ the results and analyses of the survey will provide the board and staff with information that will be used to make sound, strategic decisions in a variety of areas, including service improvements and enhancements, annual budget planning and implementation, and RDOS policy planning and development. The RDOS completed a Citizen Survey in 2010 which has been used as a tool to gauge public satisfaction.” It is anticipated the results will be available in July and will posted on the website at www. rdos.bc.ca The participation of each of our randomly selected citizens is very important to the success of the survey and its use.
Wild Goose gains accolades and a new tasting room OK Falls winery receives California wine competition award Contributed It has been a long time in the making, and after 17 years of operation in our current, “modest” tasting room, Wild Goose recently opened a new spacious tasting room and wine shop. The project has been in the works for many years and this past fall construction began on the new building. With the growth of the industry Wild Goose has seen a large increase in the number of visitors visiting the valley. To accommodate this growth Wild Goose decided to increase the tasting room size. The new building offers a huge patio for vissitors to enjoy the amazing views that Okanagan Falls has to offer . A large private function room will allow Wild Goose to offer group meetings, family and business functions, and private tastings and small weddings or parties. Food services at the new facility will include a selection of items from our many local caterers, or visitors can feel free to bring your own lunch or snacks. The official
opening will take place mid- to late June with events and celebrations planned for the entire summer. Wild Goose looks forward to sharing our new and exciting facility with everyone. Wild Goose “Small Winery of the Year 2012” The Riverside International Wine Competition in California has chosen Wild Goose Vineyards as the “Small Winery of the Year 2012.” This award goes to the winery, “whose multiple entries achieve broad commendation in many categories from limited production.” Wild Goose won numerous awards at this judging including White Wine of the Year, 2011 Mystic River Gewurztraminer, and Best Aromatic Blend, 2011 Autumn Gold.

Editorial
Weekend wildfire should send a message Saturday’s wild fire in Keremeos may be a harbinger of what’s to come this summer, if long term weather forecasts prove accurate. It was surprising to see how aggressive fire behaviour is, even at this early point in the season. Trees were still candling on Monday morning, an hour or two into what was predicted to be a rainy week. Saturday’s fire will also, hopefully, drive home the point that there are consequences to all those in Area “G” who believe it is their right to throw a match onto a burn pile whenever they feel like it. Even before the investigation is concluded into Saturday’s fire, there is some strong evidence that it was human caused through an illegal burn. The BC Forest Service has been trying to pound the message home since the season began that we need to be careful and conscientious when using fire outdoors. However, all the fires that have occurred in the Kamloops Fire District this year have been human caused - and with the weekend fire in Keremeos not being an exception, it may be time for the BC Forest Service to use their authority to make an example of those who choose not to listen: Anyone found in contravention of an open fire ban may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

Chaos reigns in wake of HST By Tom Fletcher Black Press The old saying goes that if you like sausages and laws, you shouldn’t watch either one being made. The legislature’s sausage factory worked overtime to crank out a pile of legislative change before the government choked off debate and shut it down for the summer. This is after a dozen complicated bills were stuffed into the hopper in the final month. For the first time in B.C. history, debate was carried on in three separate chambers to try to get through it all. It created a chaotic scene, with politicians and reporters dashing around trying to create the impression they were on top of it all. The NDP opposition screamed bloody murder about this travesty, especially as the clock ran down last week and bills were assigned a token 30 or 45 minutes to meet the B.C. Liberal government’s arbitrary deadline.
Alas, what little time was allowed for the opposition to question legislation was largely frittered away with the usual partisan sniping that substitutes for alternative ideas. The good news is that this mad rush wasn’t a calculated scheme to ram through unpopular, unfair measures. Quite the contrary. The B.C. Liberal government’s back is to the wall, trying to do what the public and circumstances demand and save its own skin. Here’s a partial list of the marching orders. Get rid of the harmonized sales tax and bring back a computerized version of the old, inefficient provincial sales tax. Unclog the court system, which has become so constipated that a Stanley Cup riot fool can’t even plead guilty in a reasonable time. And find a way to make our growing population of urban anarchists and assorted other deadbeats pay to ride transit. The HST exercise continues to exact its cost.
The unprecedented job of creating a modern system for the archaic sales tax was the main cause of the legislative logjam, tying up government lawyers and delaying drafting of other bills. Small businesses that paid $3,000 to convert to HST get to pay another $3,000 to go back, and we had all better hope the new computer software works. Speaking of computers, one of the laws passed amid the shouting is one that establishes an online system for disputing traffic tickets. Police will print out tickets from their cars instead of hand-writing them, and drivers will have an alternative way to argue about whether they really ran that red light. Fighting a ticket in court now takes seven to 18 months, tying up judges, court registry staff and police. An administrative system won’t keep them all out of court, but the government hopes to reduce the average resolution time to 90 days and save $8 million a year or more.
A similar administrative system is being established for small civil claims and strata property disputes. Some legislation is to fix earlier screw-ups. A judge tossed out B.C.’s most heavy-handed administrative penalties for failing a roadside blood alcohol test, so the government brought in a new version that allows for another administrative appeal. The mistake of making transit operate on a poorly policed “honour system” goes back to Social Credit days. There is finally a system to enforce collection of fines, on those rare occasions when someone is ticketed for taking a free ride. Even with the last-minute rush, four bills couldn’t be rammed through. Since the legislature will almost certainly have to be recalled to impose a contract on teachers this fall, the government would do well to provide a couple of weeks for orderly debate at that time.

Conservatives launch attack on charities To the Editor: The Conservative government’s continued attack on Canadian charities is premeditated and chilling. Over the past two years they have cut funding, publicly slandered or intimidated those in civil society who have dared to speak out against them. It started with the government quietly cutting funding to vocal organizations like KAIROS, Development and Peace, the Mennonite Central Committee, the Canadian Center for International Cooperation, Rights and Democracy and the Canadian Council on Social Development and others. Now the attack is more overt with Conservative Ministers and Senators publicly slandering those who disagree with them, accusing respected charities of “influence peddling” and “money laundering,” and labelling them as “foreign radicals.” It is all part of a disturbing larger agenda to silence dissent, and delegitimize anyone who has opinions contrary to Conservative ideology. Those that are specifically attacked by the Conservative government are either shut down or marginalized. Those that aren’t attacked directly learn very quickly that silence is golden. It is causing a chill in Canadian civil society. Buried in the Conservatives’ omnibus budget bill are changes to the Income Tax Act, amending the rules on how charities can engage in public policy advocacy and when their charitable status can be reviewed. Ordinarily an amendment which provides “guidance” would
be a welcome clarification of the law. However, now everyone is wondering what kind of impact this may have: if they speak out against Conservative ideas, will they catch the unwelcome attention of government auditors? The consequences of this chill are enormous. Civil society is not only about dissenting views, but also about alternative points of view – which are the real life blood of a democracy. Alternative voices make the powerful question themselves, but when the powerful controls the executive branch and the legislative branch of the government as they do in Canada, the only voices left to ask these questions are in civil society. On June 4, the Liberal Party will darken our website in support of the Speak Out/Black Out Campaign opposing these changes. Conservatives need to know it is highly inappropriate for the government to muzzle charities and civil society. The organizations that are being silenced are ones that millions of Canadians have supported for years, and up until now organizations that Canadian governments of all political stripes have worked with to better the lives of those in our communities and abroad Development of effective public policy is difficult at the best of times, but when a government intentionally demonizes those who try to speak for the poor and disadvantaged both at home and abroad, we are all impoverished. Yours sincerely, John McKay, MP Mobina Jaffer, Senator
Windmills set to invade Juno Beach France’s plan to build windmills off the Normandy coast is a bad idea for two reasons. By Alan Dowd The Fraser Institute Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy deserves credit for a number of courageous policy decisions during his presidency. Bringing France back into the NATO military command structure, leading NATO into and through Libya, challenging the West to get serious about Iran’s opaque nuclear program, and staying the course in Afghanistan despite the war’s unpopularity all come to mind. Another Normandy invasion But building windmills off the Normandy coast doesn’t fall into that category. This is a bad idea for at least two reasons. First, there’s the historical importance of the waters that lap onto Normandy - waters that delivered the largest amphibious-landing force in history on June 6, 1944. If plans go forward - tenders for the multi-billion-euro project are being awarded this year - a bed of wind turbines rising up to 525 feet high will be planted off what was known as “Juno Beach” on D-Day. Some windmills could be up and running by 2015. French government officials tell Britain’s Telegraph newspaper that the giant windmills will be so far out to sea that they will appear like “matchsticks” from the beaches. But veterans groups on both sides of the Atlantic aren’t buying that defence. “Our organizations regard this as an invasion of sacred grounds, where so many warriors gave their lives,” the Port Winston Churchill Association of Arromanches declared in a statement. “They will be visible from all the Normandy landing beaches: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword,” according to Gérard Lecornu, the group’s president. “D-Day is in our collective
memory. To touch this is a very grave attack on that memory.” How grave? In Britain, some veteran RAF pilots have warned - no doubt, tongue-in-cheek - that they might take to the air again to bomb the windmills. Given that Juno was Canada’s beachhead, the Normandy windmills are especially unsettling to some Canadian veterans. Calling the Normandy beaches “hallowed grounds,” D-Day veteran Jack Martin described the wind-farm plans as “a disgusting affair” in an interview. Canadians have every right to weigh in. After all, some 42,000 Canadians died liberating France and the rest of Europe in World War II. As former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney once observed, “If people want to know how Canada paid for its seat in Europe, they should check out the graves in Belgium and France.” The planned Normandy area wind farm is part of a larger effort to plant hundreds of wind turbines along France’s Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines by 2020. The French government believes the wind-farm project will generate the electricity equivalent of two nuclear power plants. Best of all, say the project’s proponents, it’s all clean and green. That brings us to a second problem with France’s wind-farm plans: Modern-day windmills are anything but environmentally friendly. Robert Bryce, editor of the Energy Tribune, reports that wind turbines in the United States kill between 75,000 and 275,000 birds annually. “Such numbers earned wind-power generators the moniker ‘Cuisinarts of the Air,’” adds Diane Katz, a former Fraser Institute colleague. She notes that in Canada “the wind-power industry enjoys a degree of political favour that would make most other energy executives green with envy. The province of Ontario, for example, accontinued on page 18

Runaway pigs disrupt a Hedley weekend Contributed by Angelique Wood At 2 a.m. on June 1, watchful neighbour Ben Murbach alerted Electoral Area “G� Director Angelique Wood that there were six pigs hanging out in her garden. It was not clear at that time where the pigs had come from. Arising from bed to investigate, she “caught� the young pigs chewing on leafy greens under a giant willow tree. She returned to the house to grab her camera, and returned to find the marauders decimating another neighbour’s iris and strawberry patch. As the pigs were clearly skittish and with nowhere to put them, Wood and her partner Travis Barck made the sensible choice to return to bed, hoping to learn more about the strange visitors in the morning. At 6 a.m., Wood made a beeline for the OAPO hall, where locals gather every morning to gossip, drink coffee, and solve the problems arising each day. One of the regular coffee-drinkers, Michelle Jacobs, was able to identify the pigs as having escaped from the Upper Similkameen Indian Reserve, as she had seen band member Brianne Holmes chasing the pigs on Thursday, May 31. Later in the day of Saturday, June 2, the pigs were “sighted� and cornered in the driveway of Jaquine Manet-Bobier. Mrs. Verigren, the one whose garden had been destroyed by rooting piglets, sought help from Angelique Wood who joined Doug Nimchuk in cordoning off the pigs within Manet-Bobier’s gated drive. A plan to catch the pigs was quickly devised, as the observers present realized that a pick-up truck or a trailer would be necessary as a “containment unit� before any efforts were
made to catch them. Another neighbour, Russ Stoney, was enlisted to gather his jeep and trailer and between the three offduty volunteer firefighters, Nimchuk, Stoney, and Wood, the animals were grabbed, and hauled, kicking
and squealing, into the trailer and back onto the reserve where they were re-penned. Stoney and Wood spent some time making the pig-run a bit more “impenetrable� by tying lengths of logs against the areas which the pigs had ob-
viously forced open. Long time residents of Hedley seem in agreement that the pigs on the loose is one of the strangest stories in our small towns’ history. Thanks to all the quick-thinkers who “saved the bacon� for the time being...

Soccer success Contributed For the first time in Similkameen Elementary Secondary School’s history, the girls soccer team made it to provincials, placing ninth this past weekend over all. The SESS Sr. girls soccer team had an amazing year despite the job action by the BCTF. First, they beat Osoyoos in league play, which had never been done before by a SESS girls team in soccer. That win, along with others, placed them first overall in the South Valley, and qualified the girls for the “Valleys”, where they finished third and further qualified them for the “Provincial A” tournament in Kelowna. The girls were seeded tough in the tournament as they faced last year’s provincial champs in game two, which came just two hours after going down against Pemberton in a close match. Starting the tournament with two losses, the girls dug in and won their next three, which placed them ninth in the province. “On behalf of everyone in the Similkameen area, we’d like to congratulate the SESS Sr. girls on a wonderful job. You girls made your community proud, and this is just the beginning.” - Peter Ruocco, Shane Yamamoto, Jacquie Yamamoto, Marshal Winser.

Western spruce budworm treatment planned for regional areas in early June Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations plans to aerially treat up to 28,000 hectares of Douglas fir forest in the Okanagan to reduce populations of western spruce budworm. The proposed treatment areas include the Ellis-Carmi forest service road, Clark Creek, Inkameep, Madden Creek, Naramata Bench, Okanagan Falls, Naramata Mountain, Shingle Creek, and Sheep Creek. The pest management plan and maps of treatment areas can be viewed at the Thompson Okanagan Region Forest Health Program office at 441 Columbia Street in Kamloops (or online at : http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/rsi/ForestHealth/ Western_Spruce_Budworm_Spray_2012. htm). The biological agent Foray 48B will be applied by helicopter on or about June 10-15,
2012, weather permitting. Foray 48B is a biological insecticide that is widely used in B.C. and is registered with the Organic Materials Review Institute. The active ingredient in Foray 48B is the naturally occurring bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Btk). This spray only affects moth and butterfly larvae and can be used safely around humans and other animals. Birds, household pets, fish and beneficial insects (including honey bees) are not affected. The western spruce budworm is an insect that is native to B.C. and the Pacific Northwest. In its larval stage, it defoliates Douglas fir, true firs, spruce and larch trees. A budworm outbreak has the potential to seriously harm or kill trees over large areas. More information about the Western spruce budworm is available online at: http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/rsi/foresthealth/ Western_Spruce_Budworm.htm
Okanagan Regional Library Board reviews 2011 year Contributed At the May 16 meeting of the Okanagan Regional Library’s Board of Trustees, the board was presented with a clean audit from BDO Canada for the 2011 fiscal year. They received and approved the financial statements for 2011. Consolidated statements showed total revenue of $15.9 million and expenditures of $14.6 million. The library’s current fund surplus of $131,652 reduces the accumulated deficit from previous years to $153,889. The executive summary for 2011 was also reviewed, which includes highlights and achievements during the year. Most notably, the ORL continued to see increased use and activity at branches and online: - a one per cent increase in overall circulation of materials; 3.388 million items were circulated in 2011 compared to 3.354 million in 2010 - program attendance at storytimes, events and visits at the 29 branches totalled 90,773 vs 89,125 in 2010 - hits on the ORL homepage reached 1.68 million, an 8.9 per cent increase over 2010 - the feature film collection saw a 43 per cent increase in use, and the number of eBooks and eAudiobooks downloaded from the ORL increased 151 per cent The types of materials that saw large decreases in usage were the videotape collection (which was retired at the end of the year) and taped books. Three proposals from the Policy and Plan-
ning Committee were passed: - A slight revision to the ORL’s definition of “core services” which now includes 24/7 access to the library’s digital collection - Moving forward with a feasibility study to investigate options for the ORL to pursue fundraising - Moving to a three-year planning process for the budget The board was informed about the loss of $87,000 in federal funding from the Community Access Program (CAP) and agreed to send a letter to officials asking for the reinstatement of funding that allows the ORL to provide free computer and Internet access in branches. In camera, the ORL board discussed the CUPE strike and a consultant’s report regarding the potential relocation of the Summerland branch; however, no motions were brought forward. Regarding CUPE negotiations, the board is continuing to adhere to its position as stated on May 3, 2012. CUPE Job Action will Delay Materials Getting to ORL Branches The Okanagan Regional Library (ORL) has been advised by CUPE that van drivers will be on strike beginning Wednesday, June 6 through Saturday, June 9 inclusive. This means that delivery of new books, magazines and customer holds will be delayed getting to and from branches. We regret any inconvenience this may cause to our customers.

Natural Resource Officer designation takes root in B.C. Contributed by Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Effective last week, backcountry users may notice a new uniform in the woods. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations compliance and enforcement officers will now be known as Natural Resource Officers and can enforce a broader range of natural resource legislation. Previously, Compliance and Enforcement Officers could only enforce acts that they were specifically designated to uphold. As Natural Resource Officers, they will be able to enforce a broader range of statutes, shorten response time and improve their effectiveness in the field. A single Natural R e s o u r c e O ff i c e r can now respond to violations that are covered by more than one natural resource act, instead of three or four staff that may have been required previously. The new Natural Resource Officer designation is a result of the Natural Resource Compliance Act that was introduced in fall 2011 and came into effect on March 15, 2012.

The June 5 transit of Venus won’t happen again in our lifetimes
On June 6, the planet Venus will pass between us and the Sun. This planet, which is just a tiny bit smaller than ours, will be visible as a small, dark disc against the much bigger, brighter, solar disc. Venus is the second planet out from the Sun; we live on the third. Since the
closer to the Sun a planet orbits, the faster it moves, Venus overtakes us on the inside lane roughly every 600 days. It usually passes by above or below the solar disc. Only rarely does it pass exactly between us and the Sun. These “Transits of Venus” happen in pairs, about eight years apart, with the pairs separated by long gaps of 105.5121.5 years. This summer’s transit is the second of the pair; the first was in 2004, so it is unlikely that most of us will get another opportunity to see one
of these events. Since international astronomy uses Universal Time as a standard, this event starts late on June 5, and then continues onto the 6th. First contact is at 22:09 UT; Venus is fully on the solar disc by 22:27 UT, starts to leave at 04:31 UT the next day and it is all over by 04:49 UT. However, for us in the Western Hemisphere, with out time zones running behind Universal Time, the transit happens on the 5th. Here are the times for the Eastern and Pacific Time Zones, on June 5. First contact (18:09 EDT, 15:09 PDT), fully on (18:27
EDT, 15:27 PDT). In the EDT time zone the Sun will set before Venus reaches the other edge of the disc, so the remaining times are PDT: beginning to leave (21:31:39 PDT), all over (21:49:35 PDT), very close to sunset. In events like this there is the problem that on one hand one should not miss such a rare opportunity, but on the other hand any sort of visual observation involving the Sun can be very dangerous unless you know exactly how to do it and what you are doing. If young, enthusiastic astronomers are involved, you have to
be extra careful and vigilant. It’s not that eclipses or transits of Venus are particularly dangerous. Observing the Sun is what can do the damage. Over our many years of evolution, our bodies have evolved instinctive precautions for protecting our eyes. On sunny days, without our even needing to think about it, we avoid looking at the Sun and if the Sun is unavoidably in our field of view, we instinctively blink and move our eyes to prevent damage. However, curiosity and stupidity can overcome those protective instincts. The danger
in eclipses, transits and other solar phenomena is that it makes us want to stare at the Sun. Looking through a telescope that is pointed at the Sun can be dangerously stupid. There are safe ways to observe, but there is not room here to adequately describe them. If you want to enjoy this event of a lifetime, the best way is to see what the local astronomical society is up to. Many amateur groups are setting up Transit Observing Parties, with appropriate observing equipment, where you can go observe in safety, with experts around to explain what is go-
ing on. Look at the website of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, at rasc.ca/ transit-events-acrosscanada for observing sessions near you. This is an astronomical event of a lifetime, which astronomers used to travel to the other side of the world to observe. Don’t miss it. Mars and Saturn dominate the southern sky. The Moon will reach last quarter on the 11th. Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory, Penticton.
Atamanenko passes on constituent’s concerns to Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Dear Minister Ritz: I write today to bring to your attention concerns which are being expressed by Fred Danenhower, of the Similkameen Okanagan Organic Treefruit Growers Association (SOOTGA),
in a submission to the CFIA, regarding the request for approval of the sale/distribution of the genetically modified (GM) Arctic tree/apple. While I will not reiterate all the issues he has raised, SOOTGA is mainly concerned
that the Arctic Apple, if commercialized, will inevitably lead to cross pollination with neighbouring orchards. Mr. Danenhower makes it very clear in his submission how this would have a catastrophic impact on organic and
conventional growers, the local economy as well as the integrity of the B.C. brand. Amidst the growing demand for organic food and the ongoing farm crisis certifi ed organic farmers as well as conventional farmers
should be supported rather than left to live under the constant threat of losing crops to contamination from genetically engineered plants. The one-sided regulations which govern this science continue to be stacked in favour

Congratulations on your graduation. Welcome to the real world. It’s time to pay back those loans you and your parents lined up to pay for your education. It’s also time to find a job, pay for new expenses like furniture and rent, and to put money aside for bigger purchases to come like a car and maybe a home. Post-grad financial pressures can be overwhelming, both for the grads and their parents who may still be providing financial support. The newly minted grad wants financial stability and, sooner rather than later, financial independence. Here are the key financial issues you need to address post-haste, post-grad. Repaying student loans During your school years, you may have different loans with different lenders that will require separate payments to each lender. These tips will help you manage them: It can seem easier to consolidate multiple student loans into one standard loan and one simple payment. But consider that convenience might cost you more in the long run because student loans often charge a lower interest rate than loans through a financial institution. • Federal and provincial loan programs offer a grace period following completion of studies before repayment is required. For Canada student loans, you must begin repayment six months after ceasing to be a full-time student; provincial grace periods vary by province but, in some cases, are as long as a year. • Before beginning repayment, check your eligibility for loan forgiveness and keep more money in your pocket. Make sure you apply if you are eligible. • You will be able to claim a non-refundable federal tax credit of 15% on the interest you pay each year on your student loans. But you can’t claim the credit if your loan has been combined with another kind of loan. • Important! Your student loan repayment history becomes part of your personal credit rating. Being late or disorganized with your payment harms your credit rating. Reach your life and financial goals by
of the biotech industrialists and against farmers who prefer to service the lucrative non-GMO market. Tree fruit growers in B.C. and across Canada are counting on you to ensure that any threat from Arctic Apple to their indus-
try is removed once and for all. I trust you will not disappoint them. Sincerely, Alex Atamanenko, M.P. B.C. Southern Interior

Snow pack monitoring reveals true story about water availability Water works by Jeremy Auger-Paton Snow pack monitoring has been essential for estimating the amount of water the valley receives and the behavior of the river. In recent years, there have been above average snow packs, which may lead some people to believe that there will be excess water to use and that the following years will continue to deliver similar results. Analyzing past trends however, above average snow packs do not have any correlation with the next year’s snow pack. The graph (right) illustrates the amount of water that drains into the Similkameen water basin from the year 2002 to 2012. The amount of water depicted is the total amount of water monitored from five of environment Canada’s active monitoring stations. Each year has fours reading, one in March, one in April and two in May for a total of 44 readings to observe. It is readily observable that the fluctuations from year to year are not based on previous levels and that there is always a certain degree of randomness to account for. The amount of water for the years of 2011 and 2012 are well above average, until the most recent monitored level (May 15, 2012) where the snow packs have fallen
into the average range. This data is based on the historical data available
at the BC River Forecast Center’s webpage if you are interested in reviewing the data for yourself.

news Windmills set to invade Juno Beach / continued from page 7 tually requires utilities to purchase wind power at inflated rates.” Indeed, as Gerry Angevine and his team in the Fraser Institute’s Global Resource Centre detail in a recent report, policymakers in Canada and the U.S. are employing renewable portfolio standards (RPS) to “require electric-power utilities to use renewable energy sources such as wind for generating a certain percentage of their overall electricity supplies.” Angevine’s report notes that 29 U.S. states and the District of Columbia have enacted RPSs, while three Canadian provinces have RPS programs. The report adds that, in most situations, generating electricity from onshore wind-power installations depends on government subsidies and mandates to be competitive with other forms of power generation. Wind power a costly venture Moreover, offshore wind-power generation is more costly and generally cannot compete with
electric-generation technologies that rely on nonrenewable energy sources such as natural gas and uranium. The Institute for Energy Research observes that, in the U.S., per unit of energy output, “wind subsidies dwarf those of more conventional resources.” In 2010, subsidies for wind totaled $56.29 per megawatt hour. Nuclear ($3.14), hydroelectric ($0.82), coal ($0.64) and natural gas/petroleum liquids ($0.64) were all substantially lower. In short, a better path - for France, Canada and the United States - would be to allow market forces to determine the most cost-effective and efficient way to deliver energy. Of course, if France wants to try to power its cities with windmills, it has every right to do so. But given what Canadians and Americans did for France 68 Junes ago, perhaps the new French government could find someplace other than the Normandy coastline to carry out its wind-farm experiment.
Charges laid in chronic offenders case Contributed by James Laton, Keremeos RCMP Keremeos RCMP have recommended 21 charges to crown counsel for three chronic youth offenders in Keremeos. The recommended charges include causing a disturbance; mischief; theft; theft of a motor vehicle; break and enter; assault; and arson. The arson is in relation to the Christmas Eve fire that damaged an elderly gentlemen’s residence on Ninth Avenue in Keremeos. The youths names cannot be released under the youth criminal justice act. Keremeos RCMP would like to remind all Keremeos and area residences to be extra vigilant to deter this type of crime by locking their residence and vehicle doors when unoccupied.

Generous truckers support local ball team Two very generous truckdrivers, Ron Whitehead and Steve Fillion both donated $500 to the Kobau Koyotes last week. All they asked for in return was a clean semi-truck. The girls gathered Friday after school and spit and polished the best they could. One girl even brought a toothbrush for scrubbing the cracks. The team and coaches want to thank these two amazing people for constantly supporting the local girls fastball team. Don’t forget our District 9 playdowns held at Kobau Park on June 16 and 17. The winner of this playdown will move on to the Provincials in July. Photos contributed

Changes coming to yard waste collection routines RDOS press release Starting in July all rural Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen (RDOS) and Village of Keremeos residents will no longer be able to use clear plastic bags for yard waste collection. Residents are asked to place out yard waste in reusable containers or in compostable kraft paper bags. The final yard waste collection where rural RDOS and Keremeos residents can use clear plastic bags for yard waste is scheduled for June 11 to 15, 2012. The change follows the municipalities of Penticton, Summerland, Oliver and Osoyoos banning plastic bags for yard waste last year. The main reason for the change is the high cost to remove plastic bags from the yard waste. Cameron Baughen, RDOS Solid Waste Management Coordinator, stated that over $22,000 was spent annually by the RDOS for people to manually remove plastic bags. “For a regular 10 kg / 22 pound bag of leaves, it costs
the RDOS over 40 cents to strip off the one bag of plastic,” explains Baughen. “This is a huge cost for residents who end up paying the price for this service.” Kraft paper yard waste bags are composted with the yard waste. Plastic yard waste bags typically end up in the garbage being too dirty to recycle. Residents are encouraged to use reusable containers when possible. Yard waste can be put out in a clean plastic or metal can or other reusable containers. The RDOS and Village of Keremeos have free ‘Yard Waste Only’ stickers that can be placed on these cans to make sure the driver knows to collect it on yard waste day. To increase the use of reusable containers residents in Electoral Areas “D,” “E,” and “F” and the Village of Keremeos will be getting every other week collection of yard waste. Starting in July yard waste collections in these communities will alternate weeks with recycling collection. Electoral Areas “A,” “B,” “C,” and “G” will continue receiving seasonal collections of yard waste. Curbside
calendars have been included with yearly invoices showing when different collections will happen throughout the year. The new calendars run from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. Residents can contact the RDOS or Village of Keremeos for extra copies. Residents are asked to place yard waste out by 7 a.m. on their regular garbage collection day. An unlimited amount of properly contained yard waste will be accepted at the curb. Food waste, larger branches and lumber are not included in this service and should not be mixed in with yard waste. Residents can also bring yard waste to all landfills for chipping and composting. The first 500 kg (1100 pounds) of yard waste is free for every load at all facilities. For more information on composting, landfills or curbside collection please contact the RDOS Solid Waste Department at 250-490-4129, toll free 1-877-610-3737 ext. 4129, e-mail info@rdos.bc.ca or visit www.rdos. bc.ca.
