Chairs from a Seventh Avenue business in Keremeos slide down the street on Friday, July 20 as motorists and pedestrians take evasive action to avoid them and other debris after a sudden windstorm hit the village around 2 p.m.
Keremeos Volunteer Fire Department responded to the following incidents in June. Six motor vehicle Incidents Three brush / grass fires Two natural gas leaks A contingent of young people from the Strong Start program, which is an early learning service for young children, toured the fire hall recently – thanks to Captain Melanie Bagley, firefighters Paul McLean, Tyrell Sladen, Brodie Abbott, Chris Carpenter and Emma Merritt for their help. Did you know, emergency service volunteers who participate in 200 or more hours per year of training, being on standby and responding to incidents are eligible for a $3,000 tax credit.

Friday storm sends residents running for cover Lower Similkameen lashed by strong, gusty winds By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Residents of the Lower Similkameen were surprised by the development of a strong windstorm that swept through Keremeos and the surrounding area midway throught Friday afternoon. An angry cloud of dust could be seen moving
towards the community early Friday afternoon, after a hot and humid morning, kicking up dust and sending virtually anything not tied down soaring into the air. As the storm moved into Keremeos, residents could be seen on the street backing into the wind or shielding their faces from windblown sand and dirt. On Seventh Avenue, the Branding Iron lost the illuminated sign above the front door, shortly before at least one set of patio furniture could be seen sliding down Seventh Avenue towards the intersection of Seventh Street. The chairs, believed to be from the
K Cafe, caused some momentary traffic problems on Seventh as motorists attempted to negotiate their way around them. Up on the bench, a resident is reported to have lost the top of his tent trailer when the wind ripped it from the base. Numerous fences suffered damage as panels blew out, and lightning started fires in the Ashnola and near Olalla. Heavy rains that followed the winds reduced any fire threat, however. Potentially severe weather had been forecast for the area on Friday, but the storm’s unexpected appearance and severity caught many off guard.

Average first quarter for Keremeos crime stats Increase in crimes reported cited as cause for slight increase in crimes statistics over same period last year By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com During the first quarter of 2012, Keremeos RCMP responded to 277 calls for service, compared with 227 calls during the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 22 per cent. Assaults, sexual assault, theft from vehicles, vehicle theft, mischief and “other” categories were all up this year over last. The increases, compared to 2011’s low numbers, represent in most cases a change of only one or two instances. In January, two males and one
female were arrested and charged in connection with a series of vandalism reports which ocurred throughout the townsite between December 24, 2011 and January 13 of this year. They are currently out on conditions awaiting court. Cause disturbance complaints declined substantially from an approximate average of 20 per quarter over the last six quarters, to only five in the first three months of 2012. Drug Enforcement Two founded drug offences were investigated during the first quarter of 2012, both of which involved simple Controlled Drug and Substance Act possession. One involved marihauna possession; the other involved cocaine and opioid possession. Impaired Driving One three day IRP (Immediate Roadside Suspension) and three 24
hour suspensions were issued for alcohol use. The detachment continued its attempts to engage the public and show support for local functions. The restorative justice program continues to be under development in Keremeos, but a spring training session for volunteer facilitators had to be cancelled due to lack of interest in February. Keremeos RCMP maintain a prolific offender file listing all offenders with conditions in the detachment area. Curfew checks are expected and conduvted on a regular basis, and crime analyst reports are used to target high crime areas. There are currently no individuals in the Keremeos area that could be considered chronic nuisance offenders. Crime Stoppers received four tips relating to events in Keremeos and area during the first quarter.
Similkameen winery launches new release with award Eau Vivre Winery’s 2009 pinot noir release party, July 27 Contributed July 27 will mark a very special day for Dale Wright and Jeraldine Estin of Eau Vivre Winery. First, The Honourable Steven Point, Lieutenant Governor of BC, will visit Eau Vivre Winery to present “The Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Excellence in British Columbia Wines” for their 2009 Pinot Noir. Following that, they will have their official release party. Estin explained, “We plan to officially release our 2009 Pinot Noir at a release party at our winery on July 27 from 4-6 p.m. Neighbours, friends and fellow wine lovers are invited to celebrate this special occasion with us with a tasting, some appetizers on
our winery patio and live music by the Gala Vanter’s. We will have this vintage available for purchase starting that afternoon.

After fermentation, this wine rested for 18 months in a blend of French and American oak barrels,” explained Wright who was the winemaker for this vintage with the help of assistant winemaker Spencer Kelly. Only 253 cases of the 2009 Pinot Noir were produced. Eau Vivre Winery offers French-style smallbatch, hand-crafted wines ranging from light, crisp whites to big, full reds.

Public asked to nominate recipients for Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medals Ten medals to be awarded in Regional District Okanagan Similkameen By Steve Arstad The Review Alex Atamanenko, MP for BC Southern Interior, was recently offered the opportunity to nominate 30 candidates for the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubiliee medal.
Atamanenko recently offered each of the three regional districts in his riding the opportunity to recommend ten individuals for nomination. The federal riding of BC Southern Interior encompasses Electoral Areas “A�, “B�, “C�, “G�, and “H� as well as the communities of Oliver, Osoyoos, Keremeos, and Princeton. Regional district directors carried a recommendation on July 19 that would see the
opportunity to select recipients offered to the general public. Newspaper ads will be placed in community newspapers outlining the offering and an ad hoc committee of three regional directors will be formed to review the names and recommend to the regional board 10 individuals for nomination of the medal. To be eligible for nomination in the regional district, individuals must be Cana-
dian citizens who have made a “significant contribution to the wellbeing of citizens of the portion of the RDOS that falls within the federal riding of BC Southern Interior. The nominee must have been alive on February 6, 2012, (the date of Her Majesty’s accession to the Throne); the award can be made posthumously, but the recipient must have been alive on that date. Submissions for nominees must be made by Sept. 4. The commit-
Liquor privatization study proceeding Four proponents to be evaluated in next phase of NRFP Ministry of Labour, Citizen’s Services and Open Government The government of British Columbia has created a shortlist of proponents to enter the next stage of evaluation for the proposed privatization of the Liquor Distribution Branch’s warehousing and distribution services.
Government has undertaken a transparent process based on standard government procurement practices to consider six proposals in response to the Negotiated Request for Proposals (NRFP) to contract for the LDB’s warehousing and distribution services. Based on the six submissions received, the NRFP evaluation committee shortlisted four of the most qualified proponents. They are (in alphabetical order): * ContainerWorld Forward-
ing Services Inc. * Exel Canada Ltd. * Kuehne + Nagel Ltd. *Metro Supply Chain Group Inc. The NRFP contained a provision for up to the three top-ranked proposals. There was a tie for the third spot, so four proponents will now continue through the process. The shortlisted proponents will now have an opportunity to refine their proposals based on discussions with the NRFP evaluation committee.

CUPE 1123 represents 87 full-time equivalents (FTEs) of the non-professional and paraprofessional staff working in 16 branches of the ORL system.
In addition to this job action, customers are reminded that CUPE staff at unionized branches also continue other job action by not collecting late fees, money for the sale of promotional items, facility and room rentals, and photocopier fees.

THE REVIEW Publisher: Mark Walker 605 7th Ave,Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial
Survey saysnothing Last week the Village of Keremeos released the results of this year’s Citizen Survey. Out of more than 600 of the surveys circulated, 184 returns were tabulated, in the second year that the village has conducted this poll. A recent opinion piece by columnist Rob Gerst, published in the Review last week, cautioned citizens about the way public opinion can be manipulated in these types of surveys. In reviewing the responses to Keremeos’ survey, one could come to the conclusion that Gerst is on to something. Much of the commentary that was published out of the survey concerns aspects of governance that the village has no responsibility for. Residents literally complained about everything - including the weather. A number of responses opted to take the low road, making negative comment on several village council and selected members of staff. When a municipality conducts a citizen survey, the intention is to receive meaningful input about municipal issues, not to provide a forum for inappropriate personal attacks. The negative comments made toward village council seems pointedly unfair, given they have only been in office eight months. It leads one to the conclusion that the only ones replying to the survey were residents with an axe to grind against government in general, and if that is the case, they will never be made satisfied anyway. Many comments simply had no basis in fact or in propriety to be in the report, so one has to wonder if the village is wise to continue wasting taxpayer’s money collecting the results. From our point of view, we would hope they have more important things to do.
Letters Policy The Review welcomes letters to the editor that are of interest to our community.

Time to get smart about the economy By Bruce Stewart Troy Media Here’s a look at the years ahead. Asset prices will be stagnant for the most part, and more likely to fall than rise. Some prices will go down, but don’t expect to see that at the grocery store, or at the gas pumps; very often: those are headed up. Other countries are going to mostly be worse off than we Canadians will be, but that won’t help our export-led economy, and our public sectors are going to shrink like it or not. As for pay raises, don’t hold your breath: they’re going to be few and far between. More likely, you’ll be asked to take reduced hours at least once in the next few years. That’s a pretty grim picture. The good news is, if you treat it seriously, you’ll probably do better than okay. Only if you keep thinking “it’s going to get better any day now” are you likely to end up getting hurt. Japan is one place that’s been living like this for more than two decades now. Since 1990, Japan’s economy has been helped by exports, but
it’s been a long grind for other parts of its economy. (The Nikkei average for Japanese stocks is 1/4 of what it was back then, and Japan’s had 0 per cent interest rates for so long now that savings actually cost money, thanks to taxation.) The housing market slipped and fell and has never recovered. We’re better off than that - but closer to it than it looks. Yet the average Japanese thinks the last two years haven’t been altogether bad. They’ve paid down debt, retiring as much paying of interest as they could (that paid better than investing). They’ve moved upmarket, buying quality goods when they needed to buy - or waiting a year to get a better product at a better price. They spend more on transportation and food than before, but otherwise they’ve handled the stagnation well. In this country, we’ve got some pretty profligate governments. They’ve racked up debts to the point where interest payments are a real problem: Ontario’s annual payments exceed everything other than health and educa-
tion spending, and are about to pass education. Wrestling the budgets down isn’t an option: it’s becoming mandatory. A global credit crunch will send interest rates up as everyone backs off funding governments without getting a good premium for it. So the broader public sector, both federally and provincially, is going to be cut back, which, in turn, slows the economy. Meanwhile, when you see high flying countries like China, India, Russia and Brazil (to pick the four biggest) shrinking their growth estimates dramatically, and retrenching their spending, you know that we’re going to see that hit our exports - and Canada, like Japan, is an exporting nation. That puts the crunch on the private sector: less overtime, fewer shifts, maybe even some closures. Our companies have been rapidly trying to shed their debt since 2008. Many of the rest of us as individuals and families have piled it on, instead. New bigger mortgages, new lines of credit, more on the old credit cards. As American financial
commentator Karl Denninger notes in the opening credits to his weekly podcast, “The Market Ticker”, it’s a deflationary period. The value of money is going up; debt gets more expensive to service. All this before higher interest rates hit our family balance sheets, too. Food and energy are the great exceptions to this. Food for us is mostly energy anyway: hydrocarbons get cracked to make fertilizers, fuels for farm equipment keep irrigation pumps running and keep the processing and distribution systems humming. As for energy, we may still be finding lots of it, but what we’re finding is the expensive stuff: lots of capital to extract it, lots more to process it. Give us $20 per barrel (bbl) oil for five years and the economy will boom, but we’re not going to have a lot of $20/bbl ever again. That’s why we’re having so much trouble getting things firing on all cylinders again. Get smart about your future. The years ahead can’t, and won’t, be fixed by government action. This time, it’s up to you.

Visitor experiences unselfish act over lost dog To the Editor: I have an incredible story I would like to share with the good people of Keremeos. My name is Mae Webster and I am from Merritt, B.C. My family own property on River Road where my Aunt Helen White lives and I was camped out there for the week with my grandkids, nieces, mother and twogolden retrievers. On Wednesday, July 18 we were all down at Red Bridge enjoying the weather and swimming and playing at the river. Our dogs were also playing get the ball out of the river. Lucy, our seven year old is a very determined dog when it comes to getting the ball and is relentless in getting her ball....well this day she really showed how relentless she was and wouldn’t give up on getting this ball that was hard for her to grasp in her mouth because it was slightly larger than her mouth and slippery because it was wet. The ball wandered out into the current and she went with it, trying to get the ball into her mouth, but every time she would snap at it, the ball would go farther away from her. The next thing I knew, she was being swept down the river which was higher than normal for this time of year. At first I wasn’t concerned because she is a strong swimmer and absolutely loves the water. As she went further down the river I realized she wasn’t going to get into shore and started down after her but she was moving so fast I couldn’t get to her and she couldn’t get herself into shore. As she got further away from me I realized I couldn’t see her anymore but I could still see the blasted ball....I was sure she was drowning. I headed back to the red bridge and grabbed my truck and headed over to the one lane bridge to see if I could see her. I got to the bridge and was standing on it looking for Lucy or even the ball. Some vehicles crossed the bridge but didn’t stop except for this one. The woman asked me what was wrong and I almost did not tell her. I told her my story and she took down my name and phone number and told her Lucy’s name. I then went back to Red Bridge and had some of my family go back to the property just in case Lucy had made it out of the river and decided to head to the farm. I proceeded to
walk the river calling to Lucy and whistling to see if I could hear her barking or whining but I had such a bad sick feeling in my gut I did not expect to hear her. I walked as far as I could and turned back to Red Bridge gathered up the rest of my family and headed home. I decided I would go back to the one lane bridge and just have another look, but I couldn’t see Lucy or the ball. We started back home and on the way I saw some woman working on their property and talked to them about what was going on and if they could keep an eye out for Lucy. One lady, I believe her name is Sherry said that her dogs had been barking in the back and they only bark if another dog is around. So I drove down Cory Road to see what was there and drove onto a property that backed onto the river. We didn’t find Lucy but we met a young man by the name of Tyler who also said he would look out for Lucy. He said he would take his dogs for a walk along the dike and see if he could see anything. So with that we headed back to the farm. When we got back to the farm I noticed my cell phone was beeping and upon looking at it saw a Keremeos number I wasn’t familiar with, I almost ignored it but then I remember the young woman on the bridge and listened to my phone messages. Much to my amazement it was her, Cecilia, and she said that she decided not to go to Penticton as she had originally planned but stayed home and took her labs down to the river to chase sticks and while she was there she was also calling Lucy’s name. Well, wouldn’t you know it but up out of the river came Lucy..... well the rest is history, I went over to Cecilia’s place which is close to the one lane bridge and bawled my eyes out on a total strangers shoulder because I was so relieved and thankful that she had decided to stay home and help out a family of strangers find their beloved friend, Lucy. Cecilia, I can only thank you again and again...you are a hero to my family and will never be forgotten. Your unselfish act has kept our family together and we were able to enjoy the rest of our holiday and be very thankful that there are still people out there like you, Sherry and Tyler. Yours sincerely, Mae Webster, Merritt
Conservatives turn their back on science To the Editor, This month scientists from all across Canada held a funeral march on Parliament Hill for the “death of evidence.” They were protesting how the Conservative government is ignoring evidence in policy-making, cutting off funding to vital research and preventing government scientists from presenting evidence to the public. This normally reserved group was moved to noisy protest by a set of decisions of the Conservatives that shows disregard for the hard work that our scientists do to generate knowledge for the benefit of Canadians. The Conservatives are eliminating the Experimental Lakes Area, which we have used for
40 years to protect us from poisons in our water. They killed the mandatory long form census, depriving us of a clear picture and understanding of the circumstances that Canadians face in their daily lives. Scores of federal scientists will no longer be monitoring and reporting to us about the environment that our children and grandchildren will have to live in. I believe that to make good decisions you need good data. Yet the Conservatives are eroding that data, bit by bit. It leaves our government flying blind—and dangerously ill-equipped to protect the health and safety of Canadians. Ted Hsu, MP Science and Technology Critic for the Liberal Party of Canada
Village needs to provide facilities for migrant workers To the Editor: An open letter to the Mayor and Council: For years I have assumed that Keremeos was a somewhat properous little village with a whole lot of potential... that is until I moved here last December. The last time I counted, there are at least 15 store fronts either closed or empty on Seventh Avenue. Why?
Could it be that the village “Higher purpose persons” have lost their way? Things obviously have to change. Your attitude towards the fruit pickers is an obvious example of your misplaced thinking. I might be wrong, but it seems to me that fruit is a very precious commodity here in Keremeos, yet you make a decision to chase the migrant continued on page 12

Here’s the dirt on organic produce P
By Simone Jennings Living Well Health tips
eople often ask me if they should buy organic fruits and vegetables. Some of the common questions I get include: “Are organic foods better for you?”, “Are they worth the extra cost?” or “I want to reduce my exposure to pesticides, which fruits and vegetables have the most residues?” I always start by ensuring people that a diet high in plant based foods has many health benefits
including reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and other health problems. The benefits of consuming adequate amounts of fruits and veggies outweigh the risk of pesticide exposure. So regardless of whether you choose conventionally grown produce or organic, the main goal should be to get a minimum of 7-10 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. One serving equals one piece of fruit or vegetable or half a cup chopped. However, if you are looking to reduce your exposure to pesticides and it’s within your budget to purchase organic then I think it’s worth it. It’s even better if you can purchase your organic food from a local source. Choosing local foods and buying organic when possible supports a more sustainable food system and allows the industry to grow. We are entering the time of year where local food is becoming abundant in our province so take advantage of your local farmers markets. The thing I love about the
farmers market is you can talk directly to the person who grows your food! You can inquire about their farming practices and use of pesticides (if any). Some foods tend to be more heavily treated as they are difficult to grow without getting bugs in them (if you have a cherry tree you probably know what I mean). However, other fruits and vegetables tend to be more naturally ‘bug free’ and require little or no treatment. You can significantly lower your pesticide intake by limiting the most contaminated produce (or buying them organic) and eating more of the least contaminated fruits and vegetables. The Environmental Working Group has recently released the 2012 “Shoppers Guide to Pesticide in Produce”. The guide can help you determine which fruits and vegetables have the most pesticide residues. It is important to consider this as a general guide, not a hard and fast rule, as pesticide levels on foods can vary depending on where and how they are grown. The list was created based on studies done in the US on local and imported fruits and vegetables. Nearly all of the studies tested produce after it had been rinsed or peeled. To view the extensive list of foods and a downloadable shoppers guide visit www.ewg.org/foodnews/summary/.

Savanna Yamamoto of Cawston, shown with her “Thompson-Okanagan” (Tommy O’s) U12 girls soccer team at last week’s B.C. Summer Games. The Tommy O’s won their pool with a 3-0 record. Then, in a semi-final the girls faced the “largest” zone, “Vancouver-Squamish”, where some unfortunate bounces cost them the game. But, they still had hope for a medal in what would be the game for third and fourth. In this game they would be facing the Fraser River Delta team, who they had already beaten in their pool play, in what was a very close battle ending 1-0. The race for bronze was tied 0-0 right through to the end of regulation and was eventually decided by penalty shoot-out. The Tommy O’s were up in the shoot-out, but after another goal and a couple misses the Fraser River Delta regained the lead. Then, with one shooter remaining for the Tommy O’s it was Savanna’s turn to shoot; a miss here would result in a loss. “I knew that high shots are easier to grab, so I wanted to shoot it hard and low on the ground” said Savanna, who beat the goalie and kept the team’s hopes alive. After a miss by Fraser River Delta in sudden death, the Tommy O’s next shooter, Payton Freeze, hit a high one which fooled the goalie and gave the Tommy O’s the bronze.
Regional trails update Congratulations! By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Mark Woods, Community Services Manager for the regional district, updated the Community Services Committee on trails status in the regional district on July 19. Woods reported that a number of tenure applications were currently before the province. Terms of reference for surfacing of the KVR trail between Kaleden and Okangan Falls are being prepared and environmental assessment work is being done at this time as well. A tender for the surfacing job will follow. Area “D” Director Tom Siddon expressed surprise that the resurfacing project was not already underway. He also noted that both Skaha Estates and Kaleden were negotiating with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to acquire jurisdiction of the road ends to Skaha Lake. A certificate of compliance is holding up progress in the development of the former Weyerhaueser lands into an industrial park in Okanagan Falls. Siddon expressed dissatisfacation at the fact that, four years after the mill shutdown, it still wasn’t available. Princeton rural Director Brad Hope asked Woods how the motorized versus non-motorized trail use meetings were going, as Princeton had a particularly difficult situation with the two interests. One hundred thirteen kilometres of trail in and around the town were being hotly contested by both groups. Woods described discussions in the Naramata area over similar conflicts that produced some successful results, and it was hoped that similar success might be had in other hotbed areas like Faulder and Princeton. A response from the Agricultural Land Commission is still to come as the regional district continues to work toward acquire a tenure for the Similkameen trail corridor in Keremeos. letters / continued from page 7 workers away without any ability to stay in a somewhat clean, sanitary environment. What are you thinking? If the migrant workers aren’t here, how long would the orchardists and vineyards survive? If you continue this insane practice of chasing migrant workers away, are you prepared to lose another 15 or so businesses that won’t be able to pay their property taxes. You need to provide portable toilets, portable showers, fire pits and garbage bins immediately. Think about it. Barry Berger, Keremeos

A slight shift in spending can make a big difference to local farmers Contributed by Vickie Hansen We all see messages about supporting local businesses and local farmers – but perhaps you wonder what kind of difference it really makes, or what you can do. Shifting 10 per cent of your spending doesn’t cost more – it just takes a little effort. In fact, if you think about how you’re spending your money each time you open your wallet, you may indeed spend less. While travelling in Nova Scotia recently, I noticed a campaign called Shift 10 per cent. Nova Scotians spend $13 billion annually on food and consumer goods. Asking Nova Scotians to Shift 10 per cent of their spending toward local goods would mean $1.3 billion would flow back into local businesses
and farms. They remind us that those businesses and farms are run by friends, neighbors and families. Those businesses are also the ones that donate to local charitable organizations & sports teams because they live there too. I’m sure that B.C.’s annual spending is considerably more due to our larger population. If 1.3 billion sounds like a lot of money, it’s because it is! You can make it happen by making a lot of small choices. For instance: • Buy a B.C. apple instead of an imported one • Check out the fruit stands, farm gates and the farmers market for locally grown, seasonal food • Buy a locally roasted coffee at a locally owned café instead of a chain • Buy your bread and other baked goods from a local baker
• Drink local wine, beer and spirits. Meet the winemaker who picked the grapes and crafted the wine • Buy a pair of sneakers from the locally owned shoe store that sponsors the road race you’re taking part in • Teach your children that things are still made here, that food is still grown here and that community matters. On Sunday, August 5 come out and explore the Hedley Farmers Market. We will be celebrating BC berry madness on BC Day. The Similkameen valley grows the sweetest, tastiest strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and saskatoons – and we aim to have a great big selection to share with you from local growers. Take the pledge to Shift 10 per cent of your shopping – make your own choices – think about your community – make a difference.
Hedley is growing and sharing in an community minded way Contributed by Lydia Sawicki The transformation of the community of Hedley is becoming more and more apparent as the summer months wear on with several successful green community-building initiatives in fullbloom. The illegal dumping of garden refuse in wilderness areas has been countered with the construction of several hugelbeets, in-line with the tried and true Austrian model (http:// smallfarmcanada.ca/2011/why-nottry-a-hugelbeet-in-your-garden/). In function of these constructions, there is an organized compost area near The
arena on the land leased by the Hedley Community Recreation Commission Association (HCRCA). Work parties gather regularly to sort compost and to build their corresponding hugelbeets nearby. The hugelbeets will soon be shared raised garden sites as the decomposition process moves forward. Not only is the community of Hedley working and growing together on the compost and hugelbeet initiative, but share gardens are appearing everywhere as well. Similar to the English Todmorden example (http://www. incredible-edible-todmorden.co.uk/ home), so far Hedley residents are growing edibles at many easy access
sites and offering up to be shared what is grown with anyone who lives in the community.

Regional fire department issues discussed at RDOS committee meeting Directors pass along concerns of regional departments to administration after hearing of “growing pains” with Kelowna dispatch By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Regional district directors discussed fire service issues with Community Services Manager Mark Woods during the Protective Services Committee meeting at the regional district on July 19. Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer queried Woods about evaluation methods for the appointment of fire chiefs in the regional district. Woods replied that Emergency Services Supervisor Dale Kronebusch was working with regional chiefs on a fire service leadership program, using a process that was currently in use in a number of areas throughout the province. Oliver rural Director Allan Patton then asked Woods whether he had heard of issue concerning the address changes that have been taking place in the Oliver area, to which Woods replied that he had heard of some issues - nothing specific - noting that “Any time you get a full scale changeover of something like that it’s going to be something to get used to.” “We’re at the worst possible time right now,” Patton said, with the changeover only partly complete. He asked Woods to let him know if he had any suggestions, noting that he had heard of issues with respect to emergency services dealing with the street address changeover. Oliver Mayor Ron Hovanes told Woods that he had discussed concerns with the Oliver fire chief regarding dispatch, asking Woods
if he had heard from the Oliver chief. Offering the excuse that the problems were perhaps “growing pains” he cited examples of dispatch being able to handle only one call at a time. “They’ve had a couple of instances where (people ) would say, ‘Oliver fire department, we have a structure fire,’ and then there’s a pause - and a long pause - and they’ve actually had one incident where they’re sitting in a truck, waiting to go, they got the rest of the message. And I think it’s familiarity too maybe it’s growing pains too - but there’s a huge hesitation because there was an address on Tuc el Nuit Drive, and just the way it’s spelled, the poor dispatch person couldn’t get it out - and finally a long pause again - and a long pause to a fire department probably means something else than to you and me - but after a pause they finally got it out. The fire chief said he was going to get in touch with you, but I thought I would pass it along because it’s the first time I have heard of growing pains.” Woods thanked Hovanes for the information, advising the directors that if they heard of a specific case, to let him or the chief know, even if the incident was taking place, noting that the sooner the regional district could get involved in the incident the sooner they could address it. Princeton Director Marilyn Harkness added that Princeton council had recently been briefed regarding issues with 911 dispatch. The regional district recently awarded a five year contract for 911 dispatch services to Kelowna dispatch. Prior to that, dispatch services for regional district fire departments was delivered locally through a dispatch centre in Penticton’s number one firehall.

Do It Yourself life insurance – why not buy online? From books and cars to airline tickets and shoes, you can buy just about anything online and lots of us are doing it. You can even buy all sorts of insurance products online, including life insurance. But should you go the DIY Internet route for something as important as your life insurance policy? If you’re thinking about life insurance, congratulations, you do understand the need to protect your family but buying life insurance on the Internet may not be a great choice. Here’s why. Off-the-rack Online life insurance product offerings are limited, usually to a one-size-fitsall solution. You need a policy that is tailored to your precise needs, your unique financial and life goals. Stand-alone An online purchase will get you a stand-alone product, but your life insurance choice should fit seamlessly with your overall financial plan. Simplicity Life insurance is not that simple. There are three basic choices, term, whole life and universal life, with many variations. Which one do you need? Which does your spouse/common-law partner need? How much coverage is right for you $100,000, $500,000, or more? Who should own the policy and how should your designations to your beneficiaries be arranged? What is your age, income, health, number of dependents? Is the cash value of your policy more important than the cost of your premiums? Will you want to be able to borrow against the value of your policy to help pay for the cost of your children’s education or to supplement your retirement income? Lots of questions that demand the right answers and you won’t find them online because life insurance policies have way too many optional features that can’t be adequately described on a website. Assured service Some life insurance web sites are just order-taking clearing houses. What happens in a few years when you want to update your
MANAGING Your Money policy? Will the company’s website still be active? Life insurance is a valuable and complex asset. Getting it right demands a face-to-face discussion with a professional advisor with the knowledge and time to understand your specific, individual needs and offer the correct solution for you.

Notes from the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen When Brad Haugli, Officer in Charge of the Penticton South Okangan Similkameen Detachment, presented his last quarterly report before the Protective Services Committee last March, RDOS Board Chair Dan Ashton asked if something could be done about motorist who insisted on driving at speeds considerably below the limit, which had a tendency to frustrate motorists who were backed up behind. At the July 19 presentation of first quarter police report, Area “D” Director Tom Siddon asked if anything could be done about “big trucks in small communities that drive like idiots,” adding that these motorists often had out of province license plates. “We have a unique situation here,” Haugli answered, “with a steady population in the region of roughly 80,000 that increases vastly in the summertime,” commenting that the huge increase in summer traffic tended to strain the valley’s road networks. Hospital Campaign Regional District Hospital Board Chair Janice Perrino told the board that a campaign was underway to add as much citizen support to the hospital bid for the Ambulatory Care Project. Perrino said that a letter writing campaign urging citizens to express their support for provincial endorsement of the project will launch this week.

Second quarter regional district dispatch use Penticton accounted for 71 per cent of the regional district’s call volume in the second quarter of 2012. Keremeos accounted for 2.3 per cent of the service, with Kaleden at 1.4 per cent, Okanagan Falls at 4.4 per cent, and Hedley at 1 per cent. Conference call on deer Several municipalities, regional district staff and Area “D” Director Tom Siddon took part in a conference call aimed at developing a common approach to deer control as several regions grapple with the increasing problem. Director Siddon spoke to members of the Environment and Infrastructure Committee about the possibility of drafting a resolution to take to the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference (UBCM), however, the final date for submitting resolutions has already passed for this year. “We wish to move forward methodically, on concert with other communities,” Siddon said of the conference call, adding that the Ministry of Environment needed to understand how serious an issue the deer problem has become in some municipalities. Grand Forks, Cranbrook, Kimberley, Invermere, Penticton and the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen participated in the conference call. Launch repairs Repairs will be made to the boat launches in Kaleden and Okanagan Falls. The upper sections of ramp and replacement of fill material underneath the structures is planned, said Area “D” Director Tom Siddon. Community Services Manager Mark Woods told the Community Services Committee that work was underway on a boat launch maintenance program for both communities.

Theories depend on finding of particles that can’t be seen
We can start with a lump of anything; but let’s start with something that is very Canadian - ice. Let’s assume it’s the real late January stuff, solidly frozen to about -20 degrees Celsius. Being frozen water, ice is a chemical compound with molecules each consisting of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom - H2O. We put our sample in a closed vessel, and apply heat, and keep applying it. When we reach 0 degrees Celsius, the ice melts and we have liquid water. Then, around 100
degrees Celsius, depending upon our altitude, the water boils and we have steam, a gas. When we reach around 2,500 degrees, the water molecules themselves start to come apart, and we have a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen. Atoms consist of two main parts: a nucleus, which is surrounded by a cloud of electrons. As the temperature continues to rise, from tens of thousands of degrees to millions, the atoms start to lose their electrons, and the vessel contains a very hot mixture of naked nuclei and electrons. Then, the nuclei themselves disintegrate, yielding a soup of protons, neutrons and electrons. We keep applying the heat, and when we reach temperatures of billions of degrees
and higher, the protons and neutrons start to come apart, yielding a mixture of the fundamental building blocks of matter. Many years of research into the fundamental nature of matter has culminated in what has become known as the Standard Model, which states that the fundamental building blocks of matter are things called quarks, leptons, gluons, two types of boson, and photons. However, in 1964, Peter Higgs and several other physicists suggested that the Standard Model as stated would not work, and another fundamental particle is needed, which eventually became known as the Higgs Boson. However, it could not be found. This was a major problem, because so much of physics depends upon the validity of the Stan-
dard Model. So the searches continued. The big problem is that digging so deeply into the fundamental nature of matter requires extremely high energies. We have no capability to apply such energies as heat, but we can do it through collisions. The culmination of this line of research is the Large Hadron Collider, located near Geneva, Switzerland. This works by accelerating protons to as close as possible to the speed of light, then colliding them head-on into similarly accelerated protons going in the opposite direction. The problem is that many important properties of the Higgs Boson could not be calculated beforehand, so the search was done in a rather different way. Experiments were designed so that the results that would be obtained if
there were no Higgs could be predicted. Then the results were compared with the predictions and discrepancies noted. The properties of the particle needed to cause the discrepancies were then compared with what is expected from the Higgs Boson. After a string of positive results, we can conclude that the Higgs Boson has been found, the Standard Model still stands, and physics is safe for a little longer. Mars and Saturn are now getting low in the west after dark. Venus and Jupiter lie close together in the eastern sky in the early hours before dawn. The Moon will reach first quarter on the 25th.

Thank you God for my eyes, thank you God for my home, thank you God for my friends etc. should be continually repeated. The impression that these phrases can have on the mind translates into a soothing, calming effect on the body. When your thoughts turn to fear or deep sadness, reach in and pull out the feelings of gratitude from within. Be vigilant with your thoughts and keep them as supportive as possible. 9. Learn to meditate. Spend time every day being quiet. Close your eyes and drop into a state of peaceful receptivity where you can listen to the wisdom of the body and the voice of God within you guiding you and assisting you in your healing process. Often people are able to connect with deceased loved ones or pets through the process of meditation. I believe that those who have crossed over to the other side play a large role in orchestrating events and healing wounds. Ask for their help.
