Regional district in hot water over boil advisory By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Area “G” Director Angelique Wood and regional district staff found themselves in hot water with Olalla residents over a boil water advisory during the September 8 town hall meeting. Several of the 60 plus community members attending the meeting complained that the regional district’s boil water advisory was late or never provided. Eleven of those in attendance claimed Photo by Steve Arstad they were made sick as a result of the water. Complaints about the present well system were also rife Area “G” Director Angelique Wood, along with several other regional district personnel, met with approximately 60 Olalla resiat the meeting. “People were made ill as a result of the late notice dents on September 8, in a town hall meeting, largely to discuss issues pertaining to a recent boil water advisory. of the boil water advisory - what do we have here, regional district only notified those residents identified as purchase of bottled water - compensation for which is not another Walkerton?” asked one agitated resident. “When we were taking water from the creek, no one was being on the community water system.

Members of the BC Government and Service Employees Union (BCGEU) from Keremeos’ BC Liquor Board participated in a one day strike on September 5. The union is currently at loggerheads with the province over wages and job security. Part of the current labour issues with the province include plans to privatize wholesale and retail outlets of the BC Liquor Distribution Branch. At stake in Keremeos are six jobs paying union wages, two of which are full time.
Plans for extended cellular coverage questioned by RDOS directors Directors raise concerns over health and appearance issues with Telus’ plans to erect cell towers along the Highway 3 corridor By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Brian Gregg, Senior Real Estate and Government Affairs Manager with Telus, addressed the regional district Planning and Development Committee on September 6. Gregg presented himself to the regional district board committee to answer concerns about the consultation process for telecommunications towers on crown land. Telus recently signed an agreement with the province to add an additional 1,700 kilometres of new cellular service throughout the province, along primary and secondary highways. In the regional district, the company has plans to provide cellular service along Highways 3 and 3A, stretching from Manning Park to Richter Pass, as well as from Keremeos to the Highway 97 corridor. “This is a vital step forward for emergency services,” Gregg told the committee, noting that 60 per cent of all 911 calls are made with cell phones. According to regional district board policy, where telecommunication towers are proposed and are subject to both Industry Canada regulations and Provincial regulations relating to the disposition of Crown land, the regional district acknowledges and considers that the public land use consultation process required by the province will be considered adequate. Gregg told the board that their approval of the policy would allow Telus to advance the approval of the project by 120 days - in addition to moving construction forward by a year due to seasonal considerations. He noted the similarities between Industry Canada and the provincial requirements, and wished to avoid coming back to the board twice for the same permissions.
“Six regional districts over the past on the east side of Skaha Lake, that year have already adopted this policy,” should never happen.” Wells felt that Gregg said, “The final, critical point the technical concerns regarding Telus’ that I want to emphasize is that this project should be left to higher levels of does not eliminate the ability of the government to define, commenting that regional district to review each applica- the board did not have that expertise. tion in detail.

Keremeos Cemetery fell into a deteriorated state earlier this summer after problems developed with the irrigation system. A delay in receiving parts resulted in dry grass and weeds. The situation has been repaired, and the condition of the cemetery has vastly improved in the past few weeks.

Council turns down request for permission to fence village property By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview. com Area”G” resident Michael Krastman approached Keremeos village council at the September 4 regular meeting of council to request permission to fence off a portion of village property. Krastman is the owner of a property located on the bench above the former transient farmworkers campground on the Similkameen River. He wished to fence a portion of adjacent village property as well as a portion of his own in order to prevent trespass across his land by campers and others who were using it as a shortcut to the upper bench. Krastman told council
that he had been the victim of theft and was fearful that someone might start a wildfire on the hillside. A fence erected on his property line would interfere with aesthetics, hence the request to erect a portion of the fence on adjacent village property. Council was unanimous in its decision - not wishing to set a precedent, they ruled against Krastman’s request, noting that there were possibly many instances in the village where residents might benefit from a similar request. Council received correspondence from Friends of the Skating Rink, thanking the village for a donation. Council also received a letter from a local resident who was dismayed with the condi-
tion of the cemetery. In addition, council received a copy of the Agricultural Land Commission’s UBCM report as well as a request for nominations from the British Columbia Achievement Foundation. Village CAO Laurie Taylor briefed council on several municipal issues. She reported that the irrigation system at the Keremeos Cemetery had broken down for approximately four weeks, resulting in dry grass and an unkempt appearance, which probably provided the impetus for the letter of complaint the village received regarding the cemetery’s condition. A new blower was installed at the wastewater treatment plant, only to have its motor burn out six hours lat-
er. The village is still waiting for the motor to return after repairs are made, which will be done under warranty. Work on the Offical Community Plan continues, on track for completion by the end of the year. Consultant and staff are in the process of updating the Stage 2 draft report, preparing the Stage 3 summary report and preparing for an open house to present the Liquid Waste Management Plan. Further consultation will take place with council and the public as well as with the technical advisory committees prior to preparation of the summary report. The LWMP is on track for completion by the end of the year. The Infocentre
Village maintenance department plagued by electrical woes By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com It’s been a bad month for mechanical breakdowns in Keremeos’ Public Works Department. The village came under some criticism at the September 4 regular council meeting when the electric starter and timer on the cemetery’s irrigation system failed, resulting in the grounds taking on an unkempt dry appearance. It took several days for an
electrician to determine the problem, and several more days passed before the part arrived. When the system was turned on again, a broken irrigation valve was discovered. The valve was repaired only to have the electric starter fail again, which required a new part that once again had to be ordered. The problems shut down the cemetery’s irrigation system for four weeks. Maintenance staff installed a new blower at the village’s wastewater treatment plant recently. The blower supplies
air to the holding tanks which provide aeration the sewage, which aids in keeping beneficial bacteria alive in order to properly break down the sewage. The blower motor seized after only six hours of operation, resulting in the unit having to be shipped to Texas for repairs. The motor is completely under warranty and will be returned to the village, repaired, at no cost. “Whenever we have to order parts from the U.S., there are problems,” CAO Taylor informed council.
readerboard has been sent to Vancouver for repairs, cost of which is unknown at this time.

A stretch of Highway 3A near Yellow Lake, which was the scene of a vehicle fire on Tuesday, September 4 - is also the location of two previous vehicle fires in the past three years. All three fires occurred along a three hundred metre stretch of Highway 3A, near the distance signage about two kilometres south of Yellow Lake. In June of 2011, a vehicle caught fire and burned on the opposite side of the highway, (photo) just a few hundred metres south of Tuesday’s fire. In 2010, a motor home burned just a few metres south of the September 4 fire.

Keremeos crime down in second quarter Crime Stoppers program proves very successful during second quarter By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com During the second quarter of 2012, Keremeos RCMP responded to 346 calls for service, compared with 374 calls during the second quarter of 2011. This corresponds to a decrease of seven per cent. The number of Criminal Code files has declined considerably in the first six months of 2012 compared with the same period last year, driven by a significant decrease in high volume offences such as cause disturbance (84 per cent decrease) and theft (63 per cent decrease) as well as all break and enter subtypes. Auto crime increased slightly this quarter. RCMP responded to a series of five vehicle break-ins and one stolen vehicle in Cawston overnight on May 7 – 8. Three male suspects aged 16 - 17 were arrested and charged with theft of vehicle, theft under and mischief. They are currently awaiting court. Reports of assault were also higher thus far in 2012 compared with the same period in 2011. Sex assaults and mischief complaints remained relatively steady. Initiatives and Priority Areas Drug Enforcement Keremeos RCMP investigated eight founded drug offences during the second quarter of 2012, seven of which involved drug possession. The last is currently under investigation. Traffic Safety Impaired Driving Between April and June of this year, Keremeos RCMP
issued one - three day Immediate Roadside Suspension (IRP), three - 90 day IRPs and one - 24 hour suspension for alcohol use. A further four drivers were charged with impaired driving and related offences under the Criminal Code. Community Engagement The Area Commander continues to be active in the community, engaging with various groups and agencies on a regular basis. The detachment members continue to have a visible presence in the community, conducting consistent foot patrols in the downtown area and engaging with local residents and businesses. The area commander continues to work towards the development of a Community Consultative Group. Keremeos has an active Citizen on Patrol program which conducts regular weekend patrols and forwards any pertinent information to the detachment members for follow up. Their dedication is appreciated by the members and area commander. The Restorative Justice program is under development in Keremeos. Training was scheduled for late spring, however, due to low enrolment, the training has been postponed until fall 2012. Until that time facilitation for restorative justice files is provided by the regional coordinator. Prolific and Nuisance Offenders The Keremeos detachment maintains a prolific offender file listing all offenders with conditions. Curfew checks are expected and conducted on a regular basis, and crime analyst reports are used to target high crime areas. A list of prohibited drivers and individuals driving without a valid drivers license is also maintained including vehicle information to ensure that members can respond appropriately should they observe
a listed vehicle. Chronic Nuisance Offenders There are currently zero individuals in the Keremeos RCMP detachment area who match the criteria for chronic nuisance offender. Youth The Keremeos RCMP detachment continues to move forward in the development of the CPEC (Community Prevention Education Continuum) program. CPEC is designed as a sustainable community led, police assisted, comprehensive youth drug prevention strategy. It is a continuum of prevention education, building protective factors and encompassing youth from Kindergarten through to Grade 12. The CPEC is a flexible crime prevention strategy developed to address drug issues and meet the needs of individual communities. It is designed as a supportive network whereby each individual, initiative, program, organization or business is important and connected with each other in support of healthy youth. Contact has begun with local businesses and has been very well received. The DARE program is a cornerstone of CPEC and is being delivered to schools in the Keremeos detachment catchment area. Both schools have designated School Liaison Officers in place. The detachment maintains regular contact with Youth Probation and is aware of youth in the community who may be on conditions. The detachment performs regular curfew checks on the youth to ensure compliance. Crime Stoppers Crime Stoppers received seven tips relating to events in Keremeos and area during the second quarter of 2012 which led to six arrests, four cases cleared, $2,095 worth of property recovered and $50,500 worth of drugs seized.

THE REVIEW Publisher: Mark Walker 605 7th Ave, Keremeos Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial
Road conditions should be seen in perspective Regional district directors had a lengthy discussion with Murray Tekano, District Manager for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure at last week’s regular board meeting. The directors had a number of highway issues to bring to Mr. Tekano’s attention, which included such perennial highway issues as the main street intersections of Keremeos and Okanagan Falls, and the sharp corner at Vaseux Lake. One particular point was raised by a director who asked Tekano about the difference in condition of roads in the region compared to those south of the border in the U.S. The director had noticed that B.C. roads seemed to be in worse overall condition, and were patched and crack sealed more often to extend the life of the pavement than was the case in the U.S. Tekano explained the difference in funding levels for such things as roads in Washington State, noting the different forms that jurisdictions take, resulting in different funding formulas. “It also has to do with a difference in priorities,” added another director. “In the U.S. their focus is on infrastructure - ours is on medicare.” There could be some merit to that observation and if that is indeed the case, then we’ll have to say we are content with the shape our roads are in by comparison. We would gladly put up with a few more years of patched pavement - and the odd pothole - if it means we are able to retain our health care programs. After all, a broken shock or a flat tire is a lot easier to fix than personal financial ruin brought about from medical bills acquired from dealing with an illness. When you look at it from that perspective, perhaps our roads aren’t so bad after all.

Taxpayers watchdog group calls on MPs for expense transparency CTF calls on MPs to follow Alberta’s example: publish all expense receipts, ban taxpayer-funded alcohol · MPs refuse to disclose taxpayerfunded bar tabs · Some MP hospitality tabs top $9,000 · Alberta forces expense-claim disclosure after series of scandals By Gregory Thomoas Canadian Taxpayers Federation The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is calling on Canada’s Members of Parliament to follow the example of Alberta
Premier Alison Redford by banning expense claims for alcohol and putting all their expense receipts online. Premier Redford announced the toughest rules for expense claims so far in Canada, banning hospitality expense claims for hosting government employees and contractors, banning expense claims for alcohol, and banning business class airfare for flights less than four hours. She also committed Alberta to putting expense receipts online, following the lead of jurisdictions such as the City of Toronto. The crackdown on expenses followed revelations by the CTF of lavish spending by the chairman of the board of the University of Calgary as well as a senior executive of Alberta’s health authority. “It’s time for MPs to come clean with Canadians about how much taxpayer money they’re spending on booze,” said CTF Federal
Director Gregory Thomas. “Taxpayers don’t want politicians wasting their money picking up bar tabs for friends and insiders,” Thomas added. Thomas said the time has long since passed for MPs to make their expense claims, contacts, and receipts available to the public. “We’ll soon be able to look at every receipt from every MLA and senior bureaucrat in Alberta and every Toronto city councillor, but not our own Members of Parliament. It’s ridiculous.” Canadian MPs claimed $1.3 million in hospitality expenses, according to the most recent public disclosure, but MPs provided no details Current rules set by the House of Commons Board of Internal Economy allow MPs to charge liquor to the taxpayers’ tab. MPs can spend a maximum of $8,541 to $10,734 on hospitality. Board member Rob Merrifield, an Alberta Conservative MP,
racked up the fifth highest tab of 308 MPs, claiming $9,381.34 in hospitality expenses. MP expense claims and receipts are not subject to Access to Information requests. “Taxpayers deserve to know who is getting wined and dined with their money,” said Thomas. “And with the Harper government running its fifth big budget deficit in a row, maybe it’s time they cut out the wine.” For more information, contact Gregory Thomas, Federal Director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation:

No time for trough feeding politicians To the Editor: I agree with Marty Brown - however the word toxic is being a very kind description of the past and present parade of goofs that apply to all levels of government. We don’t need has -been disgusting political parties - we need professional people that understand that different strokes are needed for different folks with different careers. The band of Christy - Kevin - George - rich, jack of all trades - porko master wanabe intellects make my heart skip a beat. I venture to say all of the above lack knowledge of such important portfolios such as health - education - transportation and finance. This way of doing business is absurd and their credentials should be revealed to the public before being appointed as an empty airhead. A council involving minds of expertise - of independent intelligent people that deserve the
chance to serve with honesty - integrity and transparency within their chosen field. Workshops minus kindergarten antics where each have an independent voice that truly speaks for the people - a team where all members get a turn at bat. A probationary period should be in place and the golden pension and ridiculous perks should be thrown out of the piggery. A brand new agreement to fair and acceptable remuneration for themselves and the employer - the people who put them there. After reading the morning paper it appears the public will be saying bye - bye to some of the current porkies. I sincerely hope the piggery door hits them hard in the ass - as they slide in their own on sh- - down from porko hill. Tom Isherwood, Olalla
Bilingualism policy lopsided when it comes to Quebec To the Editor: The election of a minority PQ government in Quebec should send a powerful message to Prime Minister Harper and all Conservative MP’s. Federal Laws that favor Quebec such as Equalization Grants still do not ensure Quebec loyalty or unity towards the rest of Canada. Official Bilingualism was another political dream that by law all Canadians would become bilingual in French and English and create unity of all Canadians with Quebec citizens. This dream as we all know has become a financial nightmare, job language qualifications that restrict some Canadians and even created deeper divisions between Quebec and the rest of Canada. Eighty-two out of
a hundred Quebec citizens declare French as their primary language and in 1974 Quebec’s National Assembly passed Bill 22 making French the one official language of Quebec. The two questions I believe all Canadian citizens outside of Quebec should be asking all their elected representatives are these: Why does Quebec continue every year since 1957 to receive fifty percent of the total equalization funding as a “have not” province? and how does Quebec have the right to declare only French as their one official language if the rest of Canada must pay for the additional expense of Official Bilingualism?

Three cabinet ministers stepping down not such a newsworthy event To the Editor: Why are the media making such a big deal about the decision of three BC Liberal cabinet ministers not to run in the next provincial election? The media act as though this has never happened before and seem to be suggesting that something earthshaking is going on. Well, I’ve got news for the media: The political history of British Columbia shows that this is the normal state of affairs prior to every provincial election. Prior to the last provincial
election in 2009, for example, there were six BC Liberal cabinet ministers who decided not to run again. These were Carole Taylor, Claude Richmond, Richard Neufeld, Olga Illich, Rick Thorpe, and Tom Christensen. Likewise, in 2005, five BC Liberal cabinet ministers decided not to run again. These were Gary Collins, Geoff Plant, Christy Clark, Sandy Santori, and Gulzar Cheema. Currently there are eighteen people in the BC Liberal cabinet and only three have announced they are not going to run again. By
my calculation that means fifteen BC Liberal cabinet ministers (at this point) are planning to run again in the provincial election next May. So, why have the media failed to make note of this important and much more significant fact? I can only conclude that the media have been having a very slow news month and as a result are looking for almost anything they can jazz up and make into a something resembling news. Greg von Euw, Vancouver
Work cut out for minister in charge of small business in B.C. To the Editor: In renewing her cabinet, Premier Christy Clark has directed her ministers to stay focused on jobs and fiscal discipline and to continue with efforts to make life more affordable for BC families. A strong vision of where this province needs to head and what it takes to remain prosperous in a tough, uncertain and challenging world. And when it comes to understanding the importance of jobs and fiscal discipline, and providing for one’s family, there is no sector that understands it better than B.C.’s small business sector which employs over 85 per cent of B.C.’s private sector work force and generates 34 per cent of the province’s gross domestic product (GDP). Considering the fact that 98 percent of businesses in B.C. are small or medium sized, the post of Minister of State for Small Business in Clark’s cabinet is a crucial one. And I believe North Vancouver-Lonsdale MLANaomi Yamamoto is an excellent fit for this cabinet post given her chamber of commerce and small business background which speaks for itself.
But she definitely has her work cut out for her when it comes to the addressing the issues that small businesses have with local governments. Small business operators have long felt disenfranchised from local government on issues that affect them deeply, including bylaws, user fees, permits, licensing, land use, and general customer service. However, municipal property taxes are perhaps the biggest issue of concern for B.C.’s small businesses -- a major road block to small business investment and the ability of small businesses to hire more British Columbians. Hopefully, Minister Yamamoto can get local and municipal governments on board with fiscal discipline and making life more affordable for B.C. families. More than anything else, this is what small businesses in this province want to see. However, I am fully confident, given Minister Yamamoto’s small business background, that she totally gets all of this and I know that she will be a strong voice for small business at the cabinet table and around the province.

Farmers Markets celebrated during third annual farmers appreciation week Appreciate farmers during 3rd annual BC Farmers Appreciation Week By Elizabeth Quinn BCAFM Celebration of food and farming will be in the air this September 8 – 15 as the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets (BCAFM) proudly celebrates the 3rd annual Farmers Appreciation Week. British Columbians can celebrate local farmers and show support for BC agriculture by shopping at their local farmers’ markets and choosing BC-grown produce throughout the week. “Farming is far more than putting seeds in the ground and then harvesting,” explains Jon Bell,
President of BC Association of Farmers’ Markets, “farmers must be versatile. They must be sales people, planners, personnel managers, agricultural researchers, pest managers, welders, equipment operators and more. They are also risk takers. They work hard, long hours, often alone, to bring us our food. Their efforts need to be recognized to support today’s and tomorrow’s farmers.” This year’s celebration will draw attention to the need for young people in agriculture, and for long-term profitability in farming operations. This need is highlighted in the 2011 Canadian Census of Agriculture, which shows the average age of farm operators in BC is 55 years. For the first time ever, farmers in the 55 and over age group represented the

largest share of total farmers in Canada (48.3 per cent of farmers in Canada are 55 and over.) “We need to support young people in agriculture to ensure that we continue to produce enough food in BC, lessen our reliance on imported produce, and continue to have enough farmers at farmers’ markets,” says Elizabeth Quinn, Executive Director of the BCAFM. “Buying local products enhances our economy and supports our communities. Together, let’s see how much of our food can come from
local sources during the week of September 8 – 15.” Farmers’ markets provide a low-cost and effective marketing channel and act as incubators for small producers and new farmers. Presently B.C. imports about 50 per cent of our food and despite growing demand for local products 70 per cent of imported fruits and vegetables come from the United States, with 50 per cent of imported fruits coming from California. The Hedley Farmers Market will be hosting events in con-
junction with Farmers Appreciation Week, as will the Osoyoos Market on Main.

Fall events at the Grist Mill Second Plein Air event September 23 at the Grist Mill Contributed by Dave Cursons In response to requests from artists attending this past July’s plein air painting workshop given at The Keremeos Grist Mill, another is scheduled for Sunday, September 23. Loraine Stephanson of Penticton, will bring her knowledge and experience to bear for participants in the day long event. Stephanson holds a Masters Degree in Fine Arts from the University of Alberta, with theses in painting and art history.

Through the day, artists will do a series of drawing exercises in sketchbooks, exploring thumbnail sketches, composition, proportion, value, theme, series, (and light and shadow if the sun is shining.) Take instruction if you’re a beginner or more experienced and wanting to refresh your skills. A printed handout of sketchbook basics will be provided for participants.
Registration is limited. The cost is $25. Here is a participant supply list for the workshop. What to bring: - A small, hard-cover sketchbook approx. 5 x 7”, 6 x 8” , 4 x 5” or whatever you can find. (You’ll work with it on your knee, hence the hard cover . . . ) - A couple of waterproof black ink pens such as Micron #5 - If you don’t like pen, use charcoal, conte, etc. For soft pencils: bring a sharpener - Something to add color to your drawings, such as watercolors . . . or watercolor pencils, pencil crayons, oil-sticks or whatever you like to use. - Folding chair - Small folding table - this is optional - you can also put your materials on the ground beside you.

Mining Association of Canada remains bullish on metal outlook British Columbia in strategic position to benefit from mining’s largest customer, China Contributed Canada’s mining industry is on the right path to continued prosperity despite current market volatility, says the Mining Association of Canada (MAC). In a speech to members of the Vancouver Board of Trade, MAC President and CEO Pierre Gratton said regulatory reform, investment in infrastructure and promotion of strong trade relations with countries such as China, the world’s biggest consumer of metals, will keep Canada globally competitive. Despite a slowdown in Chinese growth to 7.6 per cent in the second quarter, from decades of 10 per cent average annual growth, Gratton noted that most prices remain at relatively high levels, despite a fall off in recent months, and emphasized that the long-term fundamentals that have supported rising commodity prices over the past decade remain. “The mining super cycle is not over, it is taking a pause. This is the nature of the mining business, which is cyclical,” said Gratton. “The industry is generally better prepared for the current slowdown compared to last time, which was much more dramatic.” Gratton says globalization and the rise of Asia, and China in particular, are behind the steadily rising metal prices in recent years, and the quick recovery from the 2008-09 global
financial crisis. Rapid industrialization in China is driving demand for minerals and metals used in a wide-range of construction and manufacturing applications, as the country builds out its infrastructure base. This means China is a major consumer of two of B.C.’s top-producing commodities—copper and steel-making coal. “China will continue to drive demand for minerals and metals well into the future, and is being followed by a number of emerging nations such as India and Brazil.” This accelerated Chinese growth is propelling investment in the resource sector, in particular mineral-rich countries such as Canada. It has never been more important for Canada to remain competitive to take advantage of this strong, steady growth. “Canada has always thrived on trade and the two-way free flow of goods and capital,” Gratton said. “We need to stay the course as a free trader, and proactively engage the emerging new world order or be left behind.” MAC estimates approximately $140 billion of new mining investments for Canada over the next five to 10 years. B.C. is expected to see more than $30 billion in investment over the next 10 years thanks to its wealth of minerals and its position as Canada’s gateway to key Asian markets.

Be a money-mentor You want the best for your kids. That’s why you send them off to school and mentor them at home. Education is vital to success in life, but an important skill-set your kids likely won’t get at school is a dollars and sense education. Ageappropriate money-management skills that are best learned from you. 6 – 12 years Make saving fun! Give them a special bank to fill with coins from you and others. Mark their graduation to a real bank account and give them an allowance tied to completing certain tasks. A fixed amount is best because it teaches that serious choices need to be made when it comes to spending or saving. Get them to buy into pay-yourself-first strategy by saving at least ten percent of their allowance and explain how interest makes their money grow. Other good money education tools are board games and interactive websites such as the Bank of Canada’s (www.bankofcanada.ca) and the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education’s (www.moneyandyouth. cfee.org). Use shopping trips to discus debit and credit with particular emphasis on the fact that most credit cards carry much higher interest rates than other forms of borrowing, such as a personal loan. 12 – 16 years Give your kids a hand developing their own simple budget that includes keeping their tax receipts and statements so they can keep track of where their money went. Factor in a charitable giving component to show them how their money can have a positive impact on the community. Give them a bonus allowance for extra work that must be invested. Introduce them to concepts of compounding and tax-saving through RRSP eligible investments and other long-term investments. 16 – 18 years Be sure each child files a tax return as soon as they have a job that results in a T4. This will give them an up close and personal view of income taxes and they’ll build up room for future contributions RRSP eligible investments. Co-sign for a low-limit credit card in their name. Monitor its use and stress the importance of making monthly payments to maintain their good credit rating while avoiding high interest rates and late fees. Use their monthly credit card statements to discuss spending patterns and best uses for their purchasing power.
MANAGING Your Money Involve your kids in family financial discussions and explain how your family budget must balance expenses and income. Introduce them to investment products such as stock, bonds, Guaranteed Investment Certificates, and registered and non-registered savings plans. Explain investment concepts like portfolio diversification and risk/reward decisions as well as the role insurance plays in maintaining financial stability and family protection.

Keremeos businesses discuss cross border shopping issues Lack of a level playing field frustrating to Canadian businesses who are ready to compete By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The recent changes to the amounts of duty free goods allowed to be brought back to the country by individuals after 48 hours abroad are a pet peeve of Canadian Choppers owner Daryl Letkeman. “It’s a big problem,� he said of the changes which now allow up to $800 of merchandise after a 48 hour period. “An individual can bring motorcycle parts and accessories across the border at no charge, where all my merchandise has duty paid.� Letkeman said that most everything is made offshore now, so duties apply to most of the products he stocks. The odd American made item will still require the payment of HST. Aaron Beauchamp of Napa Auto Parts in Keremeos has similar issues with cross border shoppers and the new legislation. Beauchamp said that his company is constantly asking why there is a 15 to 30 per cent difference in the cost of parts at the wholesale level between the two nations. He cited as an example, the case of a Canadian manufacturer of quads, who sell their product in the U.S. at a retail price that is $2,000 less than in Canada - and instruct their dealers not to sell quads to Canadians in order to protect the price differential. “People should realize that when they buy in the U.S., they often end up with no warranty protection, and if the part fails or is not the Photo contributed right one, they are forced to return it to the place of purchase,� he said. “When you purchase locally, you’ll have a locally honoured parts and shop warranty.� A line up of vehicles are shown (above) waiting to cross into Canada at the Osoyoos border crossing. Beauchamp also spoke of a personal experience he had with the Ca- Cross border line ups are a sign of the times as many Canadian residents seem to feel the inconvenadian manufacturer of fuel tanks. nience of crossing the 49th parallel is still worth it for shopping opportunities in the U.S. “They quoted my cost for a tank at $400,� Beauchamp explained, “ but I was able to buy one in Atlanta, Georgia, and have it delivered to Montana, where I picked it up, for $195. The manufacturer told me that because the population in Canada is so small, compared to U.S. markets, they couldn’t give Canadian purchasers the high volume discounts that were available to American purchasers.� Beauchamp also felt that high taxes, levies and environmental fees were also a deteriment to Canadian businesses ability to compete with cross border competition. :KHQ LW FRPHV WR EX\LQJ QDWXUDO JDV LW V QLFH WR KDYH FKRLFH &RPSDUH \RXU RSWLRQV o[HG Jake MacDonald of Keremeos Building SupUDWHV DQG WHUPV RIIHUHG E\ LQGHSHQGHQW JDV PDUNHWHUV YHUVXV D YDULDEOH UDWH RIIHUHG E\ plies hasn’t noticed cross border shopping’s )RUWLV%& &XVWRPHU &KRLFH LW V \RXUV WR PDNH impact much since the dollar reached parity over the last couple of years. “It was never that bad for us,� he said. “In 5HVLGHQWLDO o[HG UDWHV SHU *- fact, I have a few customers who come across Gas marketer Contact info 1 yr term 2 yr term 3 yr term 4 yr term 5 yr term the border to buy here.

Apple growers in the Lower Similkameen valley are facing up to 70 per cent damage to their apple crop after unusual summer weather resulted in four separate hail incidents through July and August. Insurance company calculated averages suggest that a grower will face a single hail incident every eight years in the valley.

CAW delegates vote in favour of new union Contributed Nearly 1,000 CAW delegates have voted unanimously in favour of moving forward with creating a new union with the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union (CEP). The vote is the first of two before the new union can be formed. CEP will be voting on the new union proposal during its convention October 14-17 in Quebec City.
“This new union has the potential to change the way workers are represented in this country, bringing about stronger democracy in the workplace and greater community involvement,” said CAW President Ken Lewenza, following the vote. “This union will pose a serious challenge to the unrepresentative, unfair economic and political systems workers now find themselves caught in.” CEP President Dave Coles thanked CAW delegates for supporting the
What we want
shared vision of a new union and accepting change and a new kind of labour movement. He stressed that the power of the new union is in its potential to build a better life for workers in this country and around the world. The new union would represent more than 300,000 members in every province.

No two kids are alike. That’s what makes teaching both a challenge and a joy. It’s also why each student needs – and deserves – more of our time. Teachers will be working hard to give them that time. And together with parents, we’ll be urging government to help. Years of cuts have led to overcrowded classes. Our kids desperately need smaller classes, better support for students with special needs, and more one-on-one time. Every child matters. And every year counts.

A local resident came across this grisly sight following the long weekend in early September. She wrote: “We have always enjoyed the sightings of the goats along the highway East of Olalla. Monday Sept 3, 12 I was saddened to see a goat was laying in the ditch dead. I figured it was most likely hit by a passing vehicle. My mother, two young nephews and I stopped to investigate. To our disbelief we discovered the poor animal had been decapitated. This was a disturbing discovery, that someone would do that.” The death has been reported to Ministry of Environment officials, who are uncertain as to the cause of the goat’s death. They are interested in hearing from anyone who has information as to the whereabouts of the head, as its removal without a tag is illegal. Those with information are asked to call: 1 -877-952-7277.

Penticton RCMP detachment Inspector Brad Haugli told the Regional District Protective Services Committee on September 6 that 25 officers will be conducting a review of the regional detachments in October. RDOS Directors will be contacted in order to assess satisfaction levels for policing services in the regional district. Valley transient issues Oliver area directors expressed dismay over transient issues this sumer, which they reported as being much higher this year.

Cosmic dust produces data
T
hese days we are fairly used to hearing about new telescopes and instruments that are, or are about to revolutionize astronomy. We are actually building some of those things ourselves. However, there is another revolution happening that is producing a dramatic change in our ability to do science. This is driven by the tools we now have to obtain, transport and process data. We can obtain data from sources all over the world, compare it with data from our own experiments
and combine these diverse data to make nice images and plots for conferences and publications without leaving our desks. These days it’s easy to forget the situation scientists worked with not that long ago. A couple of years ago we collaborated with a local museum to show astronomers’desks through history. One of them showed what Galileo’s desk might have looked like. However, one particularly interesting one was the desk of a radio astronomer in the 1950’s. This was a time of dramatic progress in radio astronomy. Of course there was no computer or computer terminal. On the desk there was a notebook, in which the astronomer wrote down the information he or she was
extracting from the data. The output from the radio telescope was a wavering inky line running along a paper strip chart, output from a chart recorder. These devices hold paper that rolls out at a precise rate. A needle moves across the width of the chart by an amount depending upon the strength of signal received by the radio telescope. A pen is attached to that needle, so that looking along the chart shows how this signal has changed with time. Using tools such as a ruler or planimeter, the astronomer took key measurements from the chart and wrote them in the notebook. An occupational hazard of using these chart recorders was smothering oneself with the almost indelible ink. This was known as “Chart Recorder Disease”. It was common
practice to look at a photograph taken using a large optical telescope of the area of sky observed with the radio telescope, hopefully to identify the source of the radio emissions. This meant more careful measuring with rulers, to mark the position of the radio source on the picture. Once again, what ended up in the notebook was only a tiny part of the information buried in the photo. These days, observational or other data, whether images, signal strength recordings or more abstruse information all comes tabulated in computer files. We even have standard formats so that we can use the same analysis tools on all of them. We can squeeze out more scientific juice from the data than ever before. Moreover, thanks to the Internet,
we have access to far more data, and have a larger community with whom we can compare notes. Moreover, because data handling is now so easy, it is more accessible. Whether you are a front-line scientist, an aspiring high school researcher, or just interested, you can access and analyze information in ways that would amaze scientists of only a few decades ago. Just fire up that search engine! Mars and Saturn are low in the Southwest after dark. Saturn is close to the star Spica. Jupiter rises before midnight and Venus around 3a.m. The Moon will be new on the 15th. Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astro-physical Observatory, Penticton.

health this summer, pl ay it safe with arnic a! part II The evidence: Absolüt Arnica is clinically proven for both its anti-inflammatory action and its protective effect on cartilage. A 2002 clinical trial investigated the benefits of a gel made from fresh arnica tincture in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Over the course of the six-week trial, almost 90% of trial participants experienced a notable improvement. By the end of the third week, many reported a significant reduction in pain and stiffness in the knee. For the many arthritis sufferers, arnica may just be the godsend they’ve been waiting for. The main feature of osteoarthritis is the destruction of the cartilage, leading bone to rub against bone and often causing inflammation and debilitating pain. Evidence suggests that Absolüt Arnica inhibits the inflammatory enzyme that causes cartilage degradation. Hence, the gel is both chondroprotective-it protects cartilage-and is an anti-inflammatory. So now there are even more reasons to keep this herbal treasure in your medicine cabinet: • • • • j • • •
Relieves pain fast Relieves stiff neck and shoulders Relieves other muscle aches and pains Relieves pain caused by sports injuries, such as joint sprains and strains Relieves pain and inflammation caused by arthritic conditions Clinically proven anti-inflammatory effect Clinically proven chondroprotective effect

TOO MUCH, CAN CAUSE DAMAGE Acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol®) is the most commonly used painkiller in the world. It is also found in combination with other products like those medicines for coughs and colds, menstrual pain and muscle relaxants. Too much acetaminophen is bad for us and can damage the liver. Read the labels on all the medication you take to ensure you aren’t exceeding daily dose levels of 4000 mg. ARE YOU A FLOSSER? Flossing is difficult to do for some people so they don’t do it regularly. But flossing is an important part of good dental hygiene. Brushing gets rid of surface bacteria but only flossing can get between the teeth where you can’t reach with your toothbrush. It takes only 36 hours for plaque, the main cause of gum disease, to harden on your teeth. Flossing will stop this. If you aren’t already, be a flosser. FLU SEASON Flu season is coming. We often get asked if a pregnant woman should have a flu shot and the answer is yes. Flu vaccine is an inactivated or killed vaccine so it will cause no problem to the mother or the baby. Our pharmacists are up-to-date on all the latest on nutritional supplements. There is so much to choose from. We can help you pick what’s best for you.

Short Rib Jambalaya Makes 8 to 10 servings 1 2 3 1/2 1/2 2 11/2 1/2 3 1 3/4 4 1/3 1/2 3
tablespoon vegetable oil pounds pork short ribs, cut into 2-inch pieces teaspoons salt teaspoon freshly ground black pepper teaspoon Accent seasoning teaspoons your favorite hot sauce cups chopped yellow onions cup chopped celery garlic cloves, peeled cup seeded and chopped bell peppers (green, red and yellow mixed or just green) cup canned seeded and chopped tomatoes cups water cup chopped fresh parsley leaves cup finely chopped green onions (green and white parts) cups raw long-grain white rice
1. Oil a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven with the vegetable oil and place over medium-high heat. Season the ribs with 2 teaspoons of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper, the Accent, and 1 teaspoon of the hot sauce. When the oil is hot, add the ribs and cover the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the meat is evenly browned, about 45 minutes. 2. Transfer the ribs to a platter and drain off all but 3 tablespoons of the fat in the pot. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pot, until they are soft and slightly golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the celery and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the bell peppers and cook, stirring a few times, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and return the ribs to the pot. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. 3. Add the water, cover and simmer for 30 minutes longer. Add the parsley, green onions and rice. With a spoon, stir to submerge the rice in the liquid. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and 1 teaspoon hot sauce. Stir to mix, cover and cook until all the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes. 4. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for about 5 minutes before serving.

HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK PLAN NUMBER 7-3-717
ATTRACTIVE TWO-STOREY HOME This attractive two-storey home features a ground-floor entry and would be ideal for a family with active young children. The main living area is next to the kitchen and on the same level as the bedrooms, making it easy to keep an eye on the youngsters. A large unfinished area in the basement would make an excellent play room, or could be developed into a selfcontained suite, while the den adjacent to the foyer would make a convenient home office. Upstairs, the large great room with its vaulted ceiling and fireplace feature wall makes the perfect setting for watching television, reading and visiting with friends. A railing along the side of the great room provides views to the foyer below. The adjoining kitchen and dining area feature an optional buffet and a large work island with an eating bar. Sliding glass doors open to a sundeck with plenty of room for patio furniture and a barbecue. The master bedroom includes a three-piece ensuite and a bayed window with a wide sill that could be used as a window seat. Two additional bedrooms at the front of the house share the main three-piece bathroom. A closet for linen is situated just outside this bathroom. A coat closet and laundry facilities are located on the ground floor.

Regional district notes Committee of three to decide medal recipients The regional district board agreed to form an ad hoc committee of three regional directors to review names submitted as candidates for the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal. The nominees will be selected from Electoral areas”A”, “B”, “C”, “G”, “H”, and the communities of Oliver, Osoyoos, Keremeos and Princeton, all of which are within the boundary of the federal riding of BC Southern Interior. The names are scheduled for submission for endorsement at the October 18 board meeting. City requests RDOS support for Winter Games bid The regional district board agreed to support the City of Penticton in their bid for the 2016 BC Winter Games. The event would host 2,000 athletes over four days of competition and will involve 2,500 volunteers. School board support is essential, as the games would require schools to be closed for a two day period. New triathlon attracts 1,000 Penticton’s new long distance triathlon - Challenge Penticton - revealed its new board of directors on September 6. The new triathlon already has 1,000 athletes registered. RDOS Chair and Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton told the board that discussions will take place in the future with communities along the challenge race course to discuss revenue sharing strategies. “Local participation is encouraged,” Ashton said, adding that the triathlon aim was to put the focus back on the participants.

Support needed for OK Falls incorporation study Public support for a provincially sponsored incorporation study for Okanagan Falls is needed before the province will proceed with the study, said Area “D” Director Tom Siddon. An October 16 Town Hall meeting is scheduled for Okanagan Falls where the topic will be discussed. “The province is looking for a sense of willingness to incorporate,” Siddon reported, “residents need to work up enthusiasm for the study.” Siddon said the electoral area - at a population of 6,000 - would have at least 2,000 people removed should Okanagan Falls incorporate.
Smoke clearing around RDOS bylaw After much discussion, and a change of board directors, the regional district’s smoke control bylaw has once again come back to the board table. By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The smoke control bylaw was originally given three readings at the September 1, 2011 board meeting, prior to the board defeating it. The bylaw was designed to encourage efficient burning practices for open air burns and wood heating. With a new board having taken the reins in late 2011, the bylaw was presented again, this time to the new board in March of this year. Questions surrounding certain aspects of the bylaw remained to be answered after the March presentation to the board. Specifically, the open burning section of the bylaw appeared to be controversial, and a question as to whether Ministry of Forestry, Lands and Natural Resources would enforce the Wildfire Act if the RDOS smoke control bylaw were to be adopted region
wide needed to be answered. After consultation with the MFLN, it was determined by regional district staff that if the bylaw were amended to include only wood burning appliances and adopted region wide, there would be no conflict with the Wildfire Act. A bylaw enforcement officer would enforce the bylaw, with sufficient funding already in place to answer 50 calls at an average of $200 per call. Bylaw enforcement funding would come from a $10,000 provincial grant, which is expected to cover two years’ worth of enforcement. After the grant money is exhausted, the bylaw is expected to cost taxpayers roughly four cents per $100,000 of assessment. The revised smoke control bylaw will come before the board for adoption during the next regular meeting of the board. Each director must give assent for their area.
