Keremeos RCMP answer assault complaints over long weekend Two Lower Mainland men charged in three incidents By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The long weekend in Keremeos got off to a violent start late Friday evening when an altercation in the parking lot of the Red Bridge Pub resulted in three people being treated for stab wounds. The incident occurred shortly after
midnight at the downtown Keremeos bar. None of the victims suffered life threatening wounds. Police arrested a 34 year old North Vancouver man, who has been charged with three counts of assault causing bodily harm. On Saturday, August 4, at 8:45 p.m., a local male suffered a serious assault in the Pine Park area. The man might have sustained two broken ribs in the incident that resulted in a 33 year old Surrey man
being arrrested for assault. Following this Saturday incident, reports of a man throwing rocks down the bench from the Hilltop Esso area on Monday, August 6 resulted in police charging the same male who was involved in Saturday’s incident with assaulting a police officer. Police arriving at the scene of the complaint were bombarded with rocks thrown at their police cruiser. The man was arrested after a short pursuit.

RDOS board approves contract for emergency radio telecommunications study Board approves second lowest bid tendered By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The regional district board awarded a $48,919 contract to PlanetWorks Consulting for an emergency radio telecommunications study at the August 2 board meeting. Five submissions were received
in answer to a Request For Proposal, which was released on June 21. The submissions ranged in price from $29,884 to $75,500. The regional district used an evaluation team made up of two regional district fire chiefs (Jody Woodford of Tulameen and Oliver Deputy Fire Chief Bob Graham, as well as Penticton Firefighter Rod Kenney, RDOS Staff Engineer Lisa Bloomfield and RDOS Emergency Services Supervisor Dale
Kronebusch.) PlanetWorks bid was selected because the evaluation team felt they had the best value. PlanetWorks bid was second lowest, but it was felt that the lowest bid (ICT) did not offer as comphrehensive a study as the other bids. The study would have been required even if dispatch services had remained in Penticton. The regional district moved 911 dispatch service to Kelowna in November of 2011.

News items from the regional district By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Road issues Okanagan Falls resident are upset that a section of White Lake Road was repaved a week after the Grandfondo cycling event, and improvements promised to Eastside Road have not yet begun. Area “D” Director Tom Siddon expressed a desire for the regional district board to put more pressure on the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to improve local road issues, which many residents felt were not being looked after. It was proposed that the a highways spokesperson be asked to meet with the board later this year. Osoyoos Lake salmon fishing Sportfishing on Osoyoos Lake is a popular pastime of late, with 500,000 salmon now spawning in the lake, said Osoyoos alternate Director C.J. Rhodes. “It’s a wonderful process,” he said to the board, congratulating the Okanagan Nation Band for their work to restore the salmon run in the Okanagan. Rhodes also commented on the annual problem of transient misbehaviour. He said that Osoyoos was combatting the problem this year by purchasing extra police service that allowed an RCMP member to patrol with bylaw enforcement officers. He said the procedure was
working well so far. Keremeos notes Keremeos Director Manfred Bauer told the board that the Similkameen Valley Planning Society was currently looking at the terms of reference for the Similkameen Watershed Study. He expected it to be coming before the board for approval shortly. Bauer noted that Keremeos had few reports of transient misbehaviour this summer, so far. He also noted that Greyhound was looking for a new depot in the village before the end of August. Ambulatory Care Tower letter campaign Okanagan-Similkameen Regional Hospital Chair Janice Perrino told the board that the letter campaign to engage the public in lobbying the provincial government to provide funding for the Penticton Regional Hospital Ambulatory Care Tower was proceeding, with 600 letters sent so far. Tourism down District of Summerland Director Orv Robsin told the board that his community had seen a drop in tourism so far this summer. RDOS Chair Dan Ashton observed that it was widespread, noting that comments he had heard from businesses in Jasper, Alberta, had echoed similar sentiment. In Keremeos, Infocentre Manager Colleen Christensen said visitor counts were down between 75 - 100 visits for the month of July.
Public urged to use campfires safely with higher temperatures, drier conditions Ministry of Forests, Land and Natural Resource Opertions With sunny and warm conditions expected throughout most of the province this week, Wildfire Management Branch officials are encouraging the public to be vigilant with their campfire use. Remember that campfires cannot be larger than a half-metre wide by a half-metre tall. You must also create a one-metre, debris-free ring around the fire and have a shovel or at least eight litres of water available nearby to
extinguish it properly. Never leave a campfire unattended. Always ensure that the campfire is completely out and the ashes are cool to the touch before leaving the area. Person-caused fires continue to make up a significant percentage of the most costly fires in B.C. This year alone, 32 campfires have escaped and become wildfires. Compliance and enforcement officers will be on patrol this weekend to ensure that people are following campfire safety regulations.

Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer admires his choice at the Kars Under the “K” event on Sunday. Bauer selected a 1931 McLaughlin Model 65 Phaeton. The vehicle was once part of a fleet purchase by Canadian Pacific Railways. They were used at the company’s resort properties in Banff and Jasper to transport European tourists.
RDOS board grants variance request after delay tious issues Siddon was concerned about involved a road end that allowed access to Skaha Lake, adjacent to Hobbs’ southern property line. The Hobbs, who currently access their property through the road end, intended to continue using it to access their property with the variance approval. The road end had suddenly become contentious as a result of KVR trail access negotiations for the section of former rail line parallelling Alder Avenue, and Siddon wanted time to consider policy changes with respect to the road ends. “We have a permit from the (Ministry of) Transportation and Infrastructure approving our plans... We are not impacting the easement and don’t see why this should be a factor. Our application should be heard on existing policy and by laws, not future plans

THE REVIEW Publisher: Mark Walker 605 7th Ave,Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial Similkameen services keep slipping away With no alternative for a bus depot known by press time this week, it appears that Keremeos will be without a bus depot in the near future. The loss is yet another blow to services in the Lower Similkameen, which are disappearing faster than these warm summer days that we’ve been having. As transient farmworkers continue to try to seek information about job opportunities in the Lower Similkameen, the YMCA - YWCA Work BC (who run what passes for employment services here) recently issued a notice to business owners in Keremeos, offering to donate a computer to the community for job search purposes. Calling the offering a “partnership opportunity,” the YMCA - YWCA will provide a computer to the community for job search purposes. In return, the “partnering organization” will host the location for the computer station. It’s an offering that shows how low we’ve sunk in the Lower Similkameen in terms of “services”. What possible advantage would any organization in Keremeos have by hosting this “donated” computer that will strictly be used for job search? And isn’t the YMCA - YWCA a privately run, for profit business? Is their expectation here that someone will “charitably” give of their own commercial space and time for free, to assist the YM/ YWCA to maximize their profits from the contract they have set up with the province? Enough of this nonsense already. It’s time to start planning for next year - fund a storefront office in Keremeos and hire enough staff to carry out the mandate of providing employment services to the region. It’s high time to end these ridiculous band-aid solutions to employment services in the Lower Similkameen. Keremeos - and the valley - deserve better.

Oda pension deal smells worse than smoky hotel rooms or rotten orange juice By Gregpry Thomas Canadian Taxpayers Federation When Bev Oda’s resignation from Parliament and cabinet took effect on July 31, she lost her $233,247 salary, her car and driver, and allowances for travel and housing. Oda’s career went up in smoke. Literally. She famously billed taxpayers for everything from chauffeured limousines, a $16 glass of orange juice and luxurious accommodations at London’s Savoy Hotel. However, most of the questionable expenses related to the former international development minister’s smoking habit – covering up the aroma, dodging cheaper hotels with no-smoking rules, getting to meetings in no-smoking facilities or purchasing air purifiers. As they used to say in Ottawa, where there’s smoke, there’s Bev Oda. But her days of cashing cheques from taxpayers have a long way to go.
Oda started collecting her parliamentary pension on August 1 at the handsome rate the Canadian Taxpayers Federation estimates of $52,183 per year. The pension is indexed to inflation, so it will rise every year with the cost of living. It’s guaranteed for life. If anything should happen to the retired parliamentarian, a surviving spouse is entitled to 60 per cent of the money for life. That’s pretty rich, considering that she only served eight years as an MP. Consider how hard somebody would need to work to save up a nest egg like that, operating in the real world, rather than Parliament Hill. In order to collect $52,000 annually for life starting at age 67, indexed to inflation, with a further $31,000 annually to your surviving spouse for the rest of their life, you would need to save over $800,000, assuming you could get the kind of returns the Canada Pension Plan has produced: 6.2 per cent. To save up $800,000 in eight years, again assuming
you didn’t invest in anything wild and crazy, and you got the same kind of returns the national pension plan generates, you would need to save about $80,000 every year. In Bev Oda’s case, she chipped in $16,327 of her own money to the MP pension plan last year, or seven per cent of her salary, bringing her contribution to roughly $120,000 over her eight years in Parliament. If most Canadians tried to turn $120,000 in pension contributions into an $800,000 nest egg in just eight years, we could do it, providing our investments earned returns in the range of 50 per cent each and every year. Unfortunately, no reputable investment manager offers those kinds of returns and Bernie Madoff isn’t scheduled to get out of jail until 2139. MPs don’t rely on the magic of compounding to generate the kinds of returns that will keep Bev Oda living in style for years to come. They rely on the magic of taxation. Last year,
Canada’s parliamentarians put $4.5 million into their pension plan, while taxpayers “contributed” $110.7 million. You see, MPs charge taxpayers “interest” at a hefty rate of 10.4 per cent annually – set by the politicians themselves – in addition to “employer pension contributions,” bringing the total taxpayer contribution in 2010-11 to $24 for every one dollar paid by MPs into their own pension plan. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation recently put up billboards in Vancouver, Calgary, Regina, Ottawa, and Halifax. Hundreds of CTF supporters across the country each donated $24 to make the billboards happen, their share of a national campaign to tell Canadians the truth about the MP pension plan. Tech-savvy texters can text the word “Tax” to 212121 on their mobile device to join the fight against platinum-plated pensions for politicians.

Not happy about “justice” over DUI death To the Editor: Thanks to the media the conclusion of the Monty Robinson DUI crash resulting in the death of a young man can be a valuable learning tool for those future DUI slow learning idiots who fail to get the message. Thanks to Robinson and the media for supplying the antidote setting a precedent proving once again the laws of this land stink. The rusty scales of justice need to be sand blasted or used as a boat anchor. Perhaps more accurate truck scales could be the answer or shove the unbalance scales and all suits connected to a place where the sun don’t shine. One more suggestion is get yourself a native blood brother and become part of the great “First Nation heritage” which should raise some feathers. Where was the oh, so caring MADD while all this B.S. was going down. If I was only younger I would get the hell out of here as this Robinson bad cop show
put the icing on the cake by failing to provide a lawful ending due to an unbelievable sentence. This DUI - DUD aired in court some four years and full pay later may have more drunks driving under the influence now that Monty and the media let the cat out of the bag. Leave the DUI accident scene - and “Pull Off a Monty” could be your bumper sticker. We all know there are good and bad found in all walks of life and the police who serve and protect the public are no different until it comes down to the odd scumbag when caught red handed is put through the under handed scales manipulated and tilted by others above the law . Good heavens - even some of the youth who participated in the Vancouver riot are serving time in jail instead of working to pay there share of damage. The next cop saga is waiting to happen just around the corner - wanna bet? Tom Isherwood, Olalla
Petition drive to force MP pension reform To the Editor: Prime Minister Stephen Harper has promised to look at pension reforms for Members of Parliament this fall, after he consults with MPs. That is good news – all Canadians need to tighten their belts to prepare for an uncertain economic future. Interestingly, however, the rest of us Canadians missed out on such a consultation over reforming Old Age Security, which will see the age at which one can collect an OAS pension gradually move from 65 to 67. We all know that Canadian MPs have solid gold salaries, perks and benefits, followed by solid gold pensions, paid for almost entirely by Canadian taxpayers. But according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, for every dollar a Member of Parliament contributes to his or her pension, we – the
taxpayers – throw in over $23. With only six years of public service, an MP can start drawing on a full pension at age 55. Not bad for a part-time job. Compare that with the typical hard-working Canadian with a real job and true accountability. We can no longer afford to pay these obscene amounts to our MPs, and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is pushing for a 50-50 shared cost deal as part of the government’s MP pension reform. A petition drive is now underway to urge the Prime Minister to do the right thing. Please visit http://taxpayer.com/issues/federal/fed-reformmp-pensions to sign the petition if you agree that it’s time for the government to overhaul MP pensions to bring them in line with reality. Sincerely, Paul McCavour and Julie Turner, Osoyoos
Keremeos resident had no wish to cause issues with neighbours To the Editor: My wife and I are 89 and 91 years old. We do our very best to look after ourselves and our property on our own, but are attempting to sell so we can go somewhere to get assistance. Well, apparently when someone pulled up across the street in front of our home and unloaded garbage - I know not from where - I asked the village to do something. They put up signs that said “No Dumping”. Well, these signs are high and a bit of an eyesore. It has made my neighbours upset with
me. To them I wish they would come peaceably and talk instead of isolating us and being mad at us. I have no enemies. If it pleases my neighbours to have junk across the street in this beautiful setting, then put it there in front of my place. I would rather have that than have my neighbours mad at me. I have no enemies and never had in the 40 years I have lived here. To my neighbours, please come and see us. We are lonely and friendly! Yours respectfully, Wilf Miller, Keremeos
Northern Gateway pipeline another nail in the planet’s coffin To the Editor: With regards to Enbridge and the Northern Gateway Oil Pipe Line they are planning for the future destruction of our not as beautiful B.C. as it used to be. Premier Christy Clark could take a lesson or two and perhaps learn something from the eleven year old native girl that tells the story of the destructive potential from oil the way it should be and the way most British Columbians feel, no doubt. It’s not about more of the almighty dollars that Premier Christy Clark has taken a wobbly stand. The answer is “No” Christy - “N-o” and probably with great hope you won’t be the beaking parrot long before this rude battle of crude is defeated.
Like the young native girl who echoed the thoughts of so many people as she peeked into her future. What does the future hold when everything in the forest and sea are covered and killed off by unknown oil disasters? By the time the young girl reaches the age of 60 if the planet is still breathing - most of you killers of the land will be dead, leaving your very own bubbling crude disaster’s to their children to wallow up to their necks in such another environmental mistake. Leaving me to believe there is no politician smarter than a fifth grader as is proven everyday. Ted Azyan, Osoyoos

Councillor Gary Thielmann felt residents may not be aware of who the councillors were, in failing to recognize their presence at community events. He expressed a desire to initiate an education process that would attempt to teach residents the role of council and costs associated with ratepayer requests for additional services. Mayor Bauer reminded councillors to wear their name tags when attending official functions, also noting that many request made in the survey would result in higher taxes if implemented.

Limited return - and lack of legitimate response to survey questions calls veracity of survey into question By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com There was some angst and handwringing at an special meeting of council held on July 30 as Keremeos council and staff tried to make sense of the 2012 Citizen Survey results. Councillor Evans noted that many of the issues brought forward in the survey dealt with matters that council
work to make improvements in the areas of concern noted by residents, it being noted at the same time that the survey results accounted for a mere 29 per cent of eligible households, some of whom only answered select questions. Village staff also agreed to hold a meeting to review the results, with both council and staff indicating a desire to continue looking for ways to improve their services to the public. Following the discussion, Mayor Bauer argued that council did not need to make any immediate motions regarding the survey, but at the insistence of Councillor Arlow, a motion to include a similar survey in next year’s budget was made, which passed by a majority of four to one, Bauer opposed.
High water warning issued as temperatures rise Increase in drowning deaths prompt warning By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
usual at this time of year. As well, many rivers and streams, especially in the southern Interior, are running much faster, and at higher levels, than would normally be expected by the B.C. Day weekend. The Similkameen River has retreated from spring flood levels, but continues to have higher than normal current. With the warm temperatures, the urge to head out to a favourite swimming hole will hopefully be tempered by knowledge that caution should be exercised.
Last weekend, the BC Coroners Service began investigations into the tragic deaths of eight individuals who drowned in B.C.’s rivers and lakes. These deaths involved individuals from ages 12 to 75 and occurred in a variety of circumstances. With the forecast for the next week indicating a return to temperatures in the 30’s, the BC Coroners Service and Emergency Management BC are warning residents and visitors to take extra care when engaging in water-related activities in an effort to prevent further loss of life.

Higher than the mountains
H
igher than the mountains, higher than the trees. on the way to heaven guided by a soft gentle
breeze. As I look down from my magical flight, I wonder if mankind will ever get it right. The world below is a mess, as God will confess, mankind has failed a simple test. The seas below have no fish, birds are gone their song is lost, what has man done, and at what cost. As I ponder the time gone by, is it for me to reason why ? All God’s creatures big and small had no chance of standing tall. In the recipe that created earthly man, one thing was missing or overlooked, man wasn’t born equal as written in the book. My last look down from heaven above at a world now gone that man should have loved. It’s too late now, no turning back, no more countries to attack, no more next time or another chance, no more people will sing and dance. To the nation that wanted it all; your punishment will be greater than all. - Tom Isherwood, Olalla

Zeolites stockpiled in a field in Cawston.
By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com “We’ve been in the area since 1994,” said Ray Paquette of the Canadian Mining Company (TSX.V- CNG), who control the Sunday Creek zeolite deposit west of Princeton. Paquette said the company is in the process of securing drill permits for the deposit as application to extract a 10,000 ton bulk sample is also underway. “The first phase of our program is to produce enough zeolite to satisfy local markets,” Paquette said of the company’s business plan. Pa quette intends to produce zeolite that can be cut into fertilizers at a rate of 10 per cent, to be used as a soil amendment. Zeolites can also be used to control odours in fertilizers as well. Paquette sees the wine industry and other agriculture industries as local customers who will benefit from the product. “There are markets in Kelowna, Penticton, Osoyoos, Keremeos, and Abbotsford,” Paquette said, “many of whom have a need to control odours because of their proximity to urban areas. We can supply zeolites F.O.B. our quarry site for $45 per tonne.” Paquette intends to concentrate on local agricultural markets initially, as milling of the product isn’t initially necessary. “It’s our immediate goal to ship locally, supplying the local bio solids market,” Paquette said, “we have also spoken with local trucking firms who are looking for backhaul loads. Transportation costs are killing everyone - there is a strong local market accessible from our quarry site - and we can supply it at an affordable price.” Future plans could include construction of a four million dollar mill in Princeton that would enable CMC to produce zeolites for other markets that require particle sizing. Technical properties of zeolite The Canadian Mining Company has staked several zeolite properties west of Princeton in the Sunday summit area of the Hope-Princeton highway. The properties, known as The Sun Group Zeolite Project is located close to the highway and has been prospected to the point where a large zeolite resource has been identified - 46,600,000 metric tonnes at a high cut of CEC (Cation Exchange Property). Zeolites are natural inorganic, non-toxic porous volcanic minerals with a highly regular structure of pores and chambers that allow for molecular sieving, absorption, ion exchange, dehydration and rehydration of physical and chemical properties. Zeolites are composed primarily of potassium, calcium, sodium and aluminosilicate. These elements are arranged within the mineral in a “honeycomb” structure. Zeolites have a high CEC - studies indicate 10 to 12 times that of an equal volume of sphagnum peat. The surface area available for absorption of a half pound of elina is approximately the area of a football field. Zeolites are used in many applications including; • Turf and Soil Enhancement
• Soil Remediation • Golf Course Turfgrass Maintenance • Oil Absorption • Aquaculture and Pond Filtration • Removal of Heavy Metals • Treatment of Radioactive Ions • Animal Feed Supplements • Odour Management Control • Sra.ll Maintenance (odour/moisture) • Spotts Field and Parks Amendment • Effluent Treatment • Water and Air Filtration • Flood Relief Control (moisture/mildew) • Organic Composting • Animal Manure Treatment Zeolites can also be used to improve turf development, whether sodding, seeding, or top-dressing. Zeolites reduce “nutrient leaching” from the soil, improve plant shoot growth rate as well as improving the growth of greens, with less water consumption. In the livestock industry, zeolites can be used to eliminate odour and moisture around livestock, without side effects. Zeolites won’t burn, dry or crack animal hooves, it keeps animal stalls drier and is non-hazardous and non-toxic. New uses for zeolites are being found every month.

Zeolites and the Environment Zeolites contribute to a cleaner, safer environment in a great number of ways. In fact nearly every application of zeolites has been driven by environmental concerns, or plays a significant role in reducing toxic waste and energy consumption. In powder detergents, zeolites replaced harmful phosphate builders, now banned in many parts of the world because of water pollution risks. Catalysts, by definition, make a chemical process more efficient, thus saving energy and indirectly reducing pollution. Moreover, processes can be carried out in fewer steps, miminizing unnecessary waste and by-products. As solid acids, zeolites reduce the need for corrosive liquid acids, and as redox catalysts and sorbents, they can remove atmospheric pollutants, such as engine exahust gases and ozone-depleting CFCs. Zeolites can also be used to separate harmful organics from water, and in removing heavy metal ions, including those produced by nuclear fission, from water.

Hit TV series to shoot in Osoyoos Okanagan Film Commission has had some success bringing film crews to the Okanagan this year Contributed The ABC hit TV series Once Upon A Time has chosen the Osoyoos area as one of its locations for season two. The production will be in the area shooting starting August. Jon Summerland, Okanagan Film Commissioner, commented, “It is great for the Okanagan to be chosen as a location by a high profile series like Once Upon A Time, and it will also be great for the region to get the international exposure from the reach of the viewer audiences.” Once Upon A Time is a story that centers on a woman with a troubled past who is drawn into a small town in Maine where the magic and mystery of Fairy Tales just may be real. At its core
it is a story about hope. Co-Creators/Executive Producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz are two of the master storytellers behind Lost and Tron: Legacy. The series stars Ginnifer Goodwin (“Big Love”), Jennifer Morrison (“House”), Robert Carlyle (“Trainspotting,” “SGU: Stargate Universe”), Lana Parrilla (“Boomtown,” “Spin City”), Josh Dallas (“Thor”), Jared Gilmore (“Mad Men”), Emilie de Ravin (“Lost”) and Meghan Ory (“Vampire High”). This spring the Okanagan Film Commission has brought several productions to the Okanagan including A Mother’s Nightmare, SAADI WAKHRI HAI SHAAN, and A Stanley Cup History Film which is currently shooting in Penticton. Jon adds, “Productions are becoming aware of the stunning scenery we have to offer in the Okanagan, and when we have a studio they will also be able to use and collect tax credits, it will be a win win!”
WestJet announces premium economy seating Contributed WestJet last week announced it will introduce premium economy seating across its entire fleet. The reconfiguration will introduce four rows of extra legroom seating with 36 inches of pitch and convenience features such as priority boarding as well as complimentary on-board amenities. The reconfiguration will begin in August and will be completed in December 2012. “We continue to evolve our product offerings to provide greater benefit and value to a wider variety of guests,” said Bob Cummings, WestJet Executive Vice-President, Sales, Marketing and Guest Experience. “We are confident that this new initiative, combined with the remarkable guest experience delivered by our inflight team, our reliable on-time
service and our low fares will see even more guests flying with us.” As part of this initiative, WestJet will also standardize the seat pitch for the remaining rows on all aircraft to 31 to 32 inches, bringing its seat pitch in line with North American competitors. “Details on the full product offering and how guests can take advantage of these exciting initiatives will be announced in the near future,” concluded Bob Cummings.

Why products get better and service gets worse It is fact that products - like automobiles - are better built today. There is a reason... By Robert Gerst Troy Media Remember when getting a 100,000 miles of your car was considered a miracle of sorts? Those invited to bear witness performed the ritual of peering into the driver side window to confirm all those zeros on the odometer, the proud owner instantly becoming a member of that rare class of individuals that “really know their cars”. Of course, knowledge had nothing to do with it. Lemons were the norm and avoiding them took all the skill of purchasing a winning lottery ticket. I sold my last car somewhere over 400,000 kilometres. Okay, I’m unusual, but the fact is, no one is excited by 100,000 miles anymore. Cars are just built better than they used to be. So are most engineered products. The airplanes I travel in now are way better than the planes I was riding in 40 years ago. They’re safer and even more comfortable, but what about the services I receive from the airline? Is booking your flight, getting on, or getting off easier, or harder? What about services generally? Do you spend more time in-line, waiting? Is the service staff friendlier? Do help-lines and service centres actually provide any help or service? Or do you just spend more time on the phone pushing buttons (press three to speak to our insurance specialist) only to get someone incapable of providing help or service. What about government services - better or worse? Dumb question. Why have products improved even as services declined? The reason is attributable to a small man with a funny name - Genichi Taguchi. Prior to the 1980’s, specifications and tolerances guided manufacturing. The specified diameter of a drive shaft may be 3.5 inches, but because nothing can be made to perfection, engineers would also specify a level of looseness that could be tolerated by the design; say 3.5 inches plus or minus 0.1 inch. A drive shaft of 3.4 to 3.6 inches, therefore, was considered ‘good’ or at least, ‘good enough’. By the time all this ‘good enough’ was tolerated in 30,000 parts, you had a car that would shake, rattle and barely roll after 30,000 miles. Enter the diminutive Taguchi. He refused to accept ‘good enough’. Specifications and tolerances were tossed and replaced with ‘loss functions’. These identified the loss to society for any variation from the
ideal. Suddenly, engineers at Toyota had a way of determining the economic and social loss of producing drive shafts at anything other than precisely 3.5 inches. Perfection became the goal, with Taguchi giving us a way of calculating the cost of falling short. Replacing “good enough” tolerances with loss functions helped drive the quality revolution. Japanese automobiles, once considered junk, became the icons of quality. American and European manufacturers followed suit, yielding massive improvements in build quality. Other industries adopted Taguchi methods, giving rise to “the new manufacturing”. But all this passed service industries by. Specifications or performance standards remain ubiquitous, guaranteeing, at best, stagnation in quality. Consider an emergency medical services (EMS) department with a performance standard or specification of arriving within eight minutes of a call, 90 per cent of the time. What happens to EMS patients at eight minutes? Nothing. What about that 90 per cent, where did that come from? It was picked out of thin air. Performance standards like these have no rational basis, nor a connection to what matters to people. You’re having a heart attack. Are you really thinking; “Gosh I hope they make it here in eight minutes nine times out of 10.” as the service standards imply? Or are you thinking “Damn, I hope they get here right now!” as Taguchi maintains? An EMS organization, with a track record of arriving within eight minutes 90 per cent of the time and taking over six hours for the remaining calls, is fully meeting their performance standard. No reason to improve despite the body count. This is why service standards are really a means of avoiding accountability. They tolerate a looseness, characteristic of poorly managed or incompetent operations, just as engineering specifications tolerated a looseness in manufacturing cars. In spite of this, or perhaps because of it, performance standards are promoted as “best practice” in the management of service industries. Healthcare is obsessed with them (ask any doctor or nurse). Governments are tripping over itself defining them. Airlines, IT departments, repair services are committed to meeting them. All exercises in excusing poor performance. Taguchi would be rightly appalled. So should the rest of us. Few on this side of the Pacific recognize his name, but Taguchi changed our world. Almost everything made, is made better, because of him. Sometimes the smallest of men are giants. Genichi Taguchi died June 02, 2012.

Ten things you should find out about disability insurance It’s a fact. Disability strikes working people far more often than we care to think about. A 20-year-old man is about three times more likely to be disabled for at least 90 days than he is to die before age 65. A 35-year-old woman is about seven more times likely to face disability than death before age 65*. And the average claim for disabilities that last for more than 90 days is longer than 3 years**. That’s a long time to go without a paycheque! Disability insurance coverage is critical to the health of your financial situation – but, if you’re like most people, you probably don’t know how your group insurance would work if you become sick or injured. You should carefully review your group benefits booklet – and, if your group plan comes up short, you should carefully consider an individual plan. To get you started in the right direction, here are ten things you should find out about your disability insurance. 1. What does your group plan cover? Does it cover all your sources of income such as bonuses and commission? Does it cap the maximum benefits payable below your income level? Is it indexed for inflation? 2. How much does it cost – today and tomorrow? If it’s extremely inexpensive, is that because the coverage is extremely limited? On the other hand, your premiums may increase dramatically over time, depending on the age and health experience of your group. 3. Can the policy be cancelled? Yes – group plans usually aren’t guaranteed. 4. What is the plan’s definition of a disability? Your group plan may have a very restrictive definition of disability. It may require mandatory participation in a rehab program, it may have limitations and exclusions, especially for mental/nervous disorders or soft tissue damage to your back and neck. It may also have a preexisting conditions limitation and may not cover you if you can work part-time. The definition of disability and the level of benefits can change at any time. 5. Do I control my group plan? No – your employer and the insurance company do. 6. Is coverage portable? No – a new employer means you must qualify for a new plan. 7. What are the waiting periods? Make sure you find out how long you may have to wait before benefits kick in. 8. What are the benefits periods? Benefits may be capped by total amount or by a limited payment period. As well, most group policies terminate at age 65. 9. Are the benefits taxable? Yes, if the premiums are paid by your employer. When you pay them directly through your employee deductions, using after-tax dol-
MANAGING Your Money lars, the monthly benefits received are tax free. 10. What about mortgage disability insurance offered through a financial institution? Rates can increase and your eligibility for coverage may need to be proven at time of disability, before you can collect any benefits. Individual policies allow you ‘top-up’ your protection and help preserve your savings. The plan is always yours, regardless of your employment situation. You decide on the terms and the premium amounts. A professional advisor can help define the personalized insurance coverage that is tailored to your unique needs. * “Disability Insurance: Where will the money come from if you’re disabled?”, Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association, as quoted in ‘Disability Insurance Analysis, Manulife Financial, MK1715E (05/2007) ** Commissioners’ Individual Disability Table A, Society of Actuaries

Annual Perseids meteor shower takes place in August
During the night of 12-13 August, the Earth will pass through the debris stream filling the orbit of Comet Swift Tuttle. Thousands of small pieces of that debris, ranging in size from dust upwards, will crash into our atmosphere at tens of kilometres a second. Friction will slow them rapidly, dissipating their kinetic energy as heat. The air surrounding the debris fragments will be heated to thousands of degrees and the particle vaporized. It is rare for any of
these debris particles to reach the ground. What we will see are transient bright trails of incandescent air and vaporized debris forming in the sky and vanishing as they cool. We c o m m o n l y call these trails “shooting stars”. However tiny bits of debris are nothing like stars; the correct name for them is “meteors”. The Solar System is filled with these fragments of material, left over from its formation, so we can see meteors on any clear night, particularly if we are lucky enough to be well away from city lights. However, on nights like 12-13 August, when we will speed through a stream of fragments crossing in front of us at many kilometres a second, we will see a much
larger number of meteors. We call these “meteor showers”, and name them after the constellation we see in the distant background when we look up the meteor stream. In the case of this shower the constellation is Perseus, so we call it the Perseids. Imagine you are sitting between the rails on a railway track. Don’t try this; just imagine it. Ahead we see the rails passing on either side of us and converging to a point in the distance. The railway tracks are the same distance apart, but appear to be converging. S i m i l a r l y, w e s e e the meteors coming from more or less the same point in the sky and fanning out, although they are all moving parallel to one another. To enjoy the event, find a place shielded from street and other
lights, better still, a place out of town with a good view of the sky. At this time of year Perseus lies in the northeastern sky, so we will see the meteors streaming out of the northeast. The Moon will be waning and rising late, so observing conditions could be good. You will need a blanket to lie on, or a chaise longue, so you can look up for long periods without strain. Have a blanket, because even on August nights you can get cold. For something a little different, you can pick up meteors with an FM radio. Just tune it to a distant station that cannot normally be picked up. In Western Canada, Sunny 102.3, Modesto, California works well. You will hear bursts of signal as it echoes off the meteor trails. If you do this while lying on a blanket
looking at the stars, use headphones, so that everyone can enjoy the event in their own way. Radio counting is best between midnight and noon, when our side of the Earth is facing in the direction of the meteors. This year, in the early hours, the planets Jupiter and Venus rise spectacularly in the eastern sky, and are an additional treat, especially if you have binoculars or a small telescope. Mars, Saturn and the star Spica are close together low in the west after dark. Venus and Jupiter lie close together in the eastern sky in the early hours. The Moon reaches last quarter on the 9th.

health DENTISTRY AND BONE CHEWING Bones: Something to Gnaw On By Dr. Moira Drosdovech PART II Another possible reason for excess plaque build-up in pets fed processed foods is the high carbohydrate content of most dry foods. When the saliva begins the digestive process, the carbohydrates break down into sugars, which the plaque-causing bacteria feed on. As the bacteria reproduce, the plaque production increases. If the food has low or no carbohydrate component, and the pets are chewing on raw bones to break up the lowered amount of plaque, dentistry is rarely, if ever, required. Even the commercial pet food industry recognizes the effect of raw bones when they provide dog bone replacements and special kibbles to act as dental aids.
all,
Chewing bones may occasionally result in a chipped or broken tooth, but the fact that the teeth, gums and jaw bones remain healthy makes that risk well worth it. Of course, all bones should be RAW, never cooked, which can make them soft and more readily splintered. Always start with knuckle or marrow bones for dogs before moving on to other kinds of bones. Cats will not always want to chew on a bone, but you can start with a piece of a wing tip or part of a chicken neck. After when they catch and eat a bird or mouse, they eat everything, bones and all!
Get a dental checkup before embarking on regular bone feeding. If your pet already has significant j periodontal disease or infected gums and loose teeth, it would be best to get that cleared up first before
bones are given. Your pet may not want to chew on bones with sore teeth anyway. If they just have plaque build-up, then by all means get started! The benefits from chewing on bones one or two times per week will be evident to most pet owners within just a few short weeks. It is very satisfying for me to see a pet’s teeth go from heavy plaque build-up to sparkling white, with a happy owner only short a few dollars for bones. In addition, your pet’s overall well-being will improve, not just from the act of gnawing on something, but from better dental health.

COCONUT OIL & AD Pharmacists are asked questions about new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The use of coconut oil to improve AD symptoms is one of those questions. So far the evidence is minimal but some people are willing to try it. Remember that one tablespoonful of coconut oil contains 120 calories and 12 grams of saturated fat. It’s good to tell your doctor you are doing this. DRUG & FOOD INTERACTIONS The anticoagulant, warfarin, (popularly known as a “blood thinner”), has many drug and food interactions. For example, leafy green vegetables contain vitamin K which can work against warfarin. However, this doesn’t mean cutting these foods out of your diet totally. Just be consistent with the amount you consume daily and your warfarin dose will be adjusted accordingly. WHEN IS IT OK TO STOP A MED When do you stop taking a prescription medication? It is always best to consult your doctor about whether it’s OK to discontinue a drug. It can be dangerous to stop “cold turkey”. Our pharmacists can supply some guidance on this subject. Our job as your pharmacist is to ensure you get the most out of your medication. Understanding your medications is the key. We can help you with this.
