Migrant workers reverse cross border shopping trend By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Photo contributed
The 100th year anniversary of the Hedley Fire Department was held on Labour Day. Above, the department stages a demonstration using several hose crews to create a rainbow.
Preparations are underway for a Thanksgiving dinner for all the migrant workers from Mexico in the Similkameen. At this time, organizers are in need of some donated suitcases. It seems that the Mexican workers in our region practice “cross border shopping” - in a way that benefits local business for a change. The Mexican farm labourers arrive in the spring with their belongings in a small bag, but since they are allowed to take some things back to their country, they tend to accumulate a few items prior to their return to Mexico at the end of the growing season. If you have a suitcase suitable for donaton, please call Sandy Diaz - Hart at: 250 499 9564. She can make arrangements to pick up your suitcases, or have them delivered to Cheers church on Main Street, Penticton during Spanish classes.
Hedley Fire Department celebrates 100 years of service By Graham Gore, Hedley VFD The Hedley Fire Department held a celebration of their 100 year anniversary, starting with an apparatus demonstration, and a “water ballet” spraying water against a beautiful blue sky, creating rainbows against that spectacular backdrop. It was explained to spectators why we did things in such a way, why we wore turnout gear and self contained breathing apparatus and how the pump hoses and nozzles operated. A well attended open house with a historical display as well as all of the current apparatus, allowed people
to view the equipment, ask questions as to how they work, and see the contrast between firefighting today and 100 years ago. Almost 100 hotdogs were served, for a donation, dropped in a firefighter’s boot. Children as well as some older folk were entertained by being able to put out a “structure fire” using forest fire equipment, emulating in a very small way what a regular structure fire would be like. This celebration was held in place of Fire Prevention Week as home and fire safety were one of the themes of the day. The Hedley Fire Department now has a full roster of
20 with an average of 14 at each practice. This includes two junior firefighters, one of whom will graduate next year to become a regular firefighter. We hold regular practices on Tuesdays and optional practices on Saturdays so that people who miss regular practice can catch up, as well as those on probation can get more experience. We have been holding “cross training” exercises with the Keremeos Fire Department in areas such as roof venting and water transfer. We have also trained with the Princeton Fire Department. This is invaluable practice to expose our members to advanced instruction and experience practical training.

As Twin Lakes goes, so goes the aquifer: It’s generally accepted that Twin Lakes rises and falls according to groundwater levels in the aquifer, which has exhibited a pattern of filling and emptying over a period of several years. New monitoring wells in the aquifer have only just begun to provide consistent, reliable data, and Twin Lakes residents feel that the wells need to be monitored for a longer period of time before the aquifer’s viability can be ascertained. Developers of a potential subdivision in the aquifer disagree, telling the regional district board on Sept. 20 that their independent consultant’s study should be reviewed when a draft copy comes available later this year.
Developers push for early review of water study Application for variance comes on the heels of a denial by the Provincial Approving Officer last year, citing water issues By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com A development permit application from Twin Lakes Golf Course was the main topic of discussion at the September 20 meeting of the regional district board. After a presentation by members of the Lower Nipit Improvement District, headed by Coral Brown, Mike Seymour of MSR Solutions, accompanied by Suki Sekhon, owner of the Twin Lakes Golf Course, addressed the board over their application for a variance permit. The permit application sought to reduce the maximum daily flow of water needed for a community water system from the present 8,000 litres per day to 1,900 litres per day. Sekhon plans to develop 136 single detached dwellings and 72 multi family units on a rock ledge above the golf course. The development proposal hit a road block last year when the provincial approving officer ruled that the project was “not within the public interest” due to concerns over a sustainable water supply in the Twin Lakes area. Seymour told the board that his company had retained consultants Golder Associates to gather further data regarding the capacity of the Twin Lakes aquifer. He was expecting a draft report after this irrigation season, and felt the report would contain sufficient data to make a decision on the aquifer’s capacity at that time. Seymour presented the argument that the regional district’s present daily demand requirements were not realisitc, suggesting that if more realistic daily demand rates were adopted, the development, adhering to strict water conservation principles, would be viable. Sekhon told the board that the golf course had cut water use by 35 per cent in the past four years. “We want restrictions,” he told the board, “we are not here today for development approval.” The golf course’s water “best practices” were challenged by Osoyoos Director Stu Wells, who noted that historical

Penticton theatre set for October opening Penticton theatre on track for October opening By Kristi Patton Black Press Movie-goers can now mark in pen on their calendars the opening date for the new Landmark Cinemas 7 in Penticton: Oct. 5. “The patient people of Penticton have waited and we are there now, finally, the way we want to be and it is a beautiful theatre. I am so thrilled and couldn’t be happier,” said Neil Campbell of Landmark Cinemas. “We have been in the Penticton marketplace for I think close to 40 years and I did not want it going to somebody else.” Demolition of the Liquidation World building started in December, and now the Westminster Avenue property is home to the seven-screen multiplex with glass windows and a shiny new Landmark Cinemas sign perched at the top. It has already been announced the theatre will have rocker stadium seats, 7.1 digital sound, RealD 3D in four out of seven screens and the ability to purchase tickets online. Campbell announced something else on Tuesday, they also will offer the ability to reserve seats online at no extra charge. “Many years ago a lady phoned me because she was so upset. She was driving into Penticton from about an hour out and we were playing Disney movies and she got there and it was sold out. She
drove in twice and it was sold out. She said you have got to be able to do something better than this because now I have a car full of kids crying and screaming and hollering that, ‘Mom I want to see the movie,” said Campbell. “To her, that is one of the reasons why we are going to reserved seating in Penticton.” It is something Landmark Cinemas implemented in another new theatre that opened in May in New Westminster. “Now there will be no rushing and you will have no reason to be in a panic to get there. Usually a couple will have one person waiting at the concession stand while the other one runs in and holds the seats. Now you can both go there, get exactly what you want from the concession and when you walk into the auditorium, your seat is there waiting for you. It takes all the stress out of going to a movie,” said Campbell. The Landmark CEO said there are lots of movies being released at the beginning of October that appeal to all ages including the 3D animation flick Frankenweenie, Taken 2, Pitch Perfect, Hotel Transylvania, Won’t Back Down and more. Campbell is especially excited for audiences to catch Argo, which opens the following week in Penticton. Directed by Ben Affleck, Argo is the true story of
PHOTOCOPY SERVICES NOW AVAILABLE AT THE REVIEW:
how the Canadian government and a CIA specialist concocted a risky plan to free six Americans in Iran who found shelter at the home of the Canadian ambassador during a revolution. The movie stars Affleck, Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and John Goodman (Roseanne, The Big Lebowski). Campbell said he watched it at the premiere of the Toronto Film Festival. “The crowd started going nuts when the escape was happening and they didn’t stop. You get a lump in your throat you feel so good about being Canadian,” he said. “People were on their feet literally clapping for 20 minutes. It was the biggest crowd reaction to a film I have seen in a long, long time there.” The Pen Mar Cinema Centre will officially close on Oct. 4. Campbell said the community should expect to hear more about the grand opening of the Landmark Cinemas 7 as the date gets closer. “We do have some really neat contests that are going to be coming and more surprises before the opening,” said Campbell.

Editorial Time a factor in battle for Twin Lakes aquifer The battle for the Twin Lakes aquifer continued at the regional district board meeting on September 20 as the two sides involved presented their cases to the board. At issue was a variance application by Twin Lakes Golf Course owner and potential developer Suki Sekhon to lower the daily consumption threshold in order to help clear a water shortage roadblock impeding a potential subdivision. Stating he wasn’t at the boardroom to discuss allowing the subdivision to proceed, he nonetheless wished to have a consultant’s soon to be released report used as a basis for making a decision on water availability - after three seasons of study. Lower Nipit Improvement District spokesperson Coral Brown, strongly representing her cause through a professional and factual presentation, as well as being well represented in the gallery by fellow residents, was asking the regional district board for more time - at least five years worth of data accumulation on the aquifer before making any decisions. Her group also presented a 185 name petition requesting a moratorium. The debate over the aquifer appears to be headed to a conclusion based on time - how much or how little the board decides it needs before enough scientific evidence is presented to make a decision. For Sekhon, less is better, while for the Lower Nipit group, the longer it takes, the better off they are. It will be a tough decision for the board. On the one hand, a potential development of over 200 dwellings and the inherent boost to the local economy that will bring. On the other hand, Coral and the gallery of concerned citizens are one of the most devoted and hard working taxpayers’groups ever to come before the RDOS board. They are informed, articulate, involved and are generally a fine example of how citizens can and should participate in forming government policy. Politicians often talk of the need for citizens to participate in the democratic process the way these residents have. It would be a democratic travesty, then, not to give them due regard in this case.

Greyhound struggles with B.C. rules Urbanization and changing travel habits have reduced demand for inter-city service, but B.C. regulations haven’t kept pace. By Tom Fletcher Black Press Greyhound Canada is losing millions on its B.C. operations because of rigid provincial rules that require minimum bus trips on inter-city routes regardless of passenger demand. Minimum daily service levels are set by the provincially appointed Passenger Transportation Board. For Vancouver to Kamloops, and on the Trans Canada Highway at Golden, for example, Greyhound is required to run four buses each way,
seven days a week. “You have a minimum frequency that you have to run on every corridor, really regardless of whether you’re carrying 20 people or five people on each schedule,” said Stuart Kendrick, senior vice president of Greyhound Canada. Kendrick said the company lost $14 million on its B.C. operations in 2011, and previous years have seen similar losses. He has written to Transportation Minister Mary Polak asking the B.C. government to follow the lead of other provinces and deregulate bus service so it can be kept alive. Polak said she is aware that B.C. service is at risk, and ministry staff are working on options. “It’s obvious from what they’re saying that they need to make adjustments, or they’re going to have to pull out of the whole thing,” Polak said. The company has applied to the board to reduce service on B.C. routes, but
not drop any routes entirely. Kendrick said the rules don’t allow adjustments to reflect lighter traffic on certain days of the week, or seasonal adjustments. Manitoba changed its regulations in July to allow flexible schedules. Alberta deregulated inter-city bus routes in 2011, allowing bus companies to enter or exit a route with 30 days’ notice. Some routes have been abandoned as a result, as urbanization and changing travel habits have led to declines in rural ridership. In New Brunswick, rigid rules prompted the only inter-city bus line to shut down entirely. Kendrick said the B.C. rules are not only inflexible, but the application process takes too long. The company is required to advertise any route change in affected communities, and may need to hold public meetings as well. Polak said the government may be able to change regulations rather
than amend legislation, which would have to wait until the B.C. legislature resumes in January.

October is the month to show appreciation to Foster parents To the Editor: October is once again a time to celebrate and appreciate the unique and extremely valuable role that foster parents in the Okanagan fulfill. I say fulfill because although it is considered a job and comes with an extended list of expectations, regulations and limitations they also in so many ways reap the rewards of a job well done. Many foster parents tell me how much they love and enjoy children and find what they do as very fulfilling. As the Foster Parent Coordinator of the South Okanagan I have the privilege of offering them support through the Okanagan Foster Parents Association. I enjoy my work providing this support and training opportunities to help them
in their day to day experiences with children of all ages and backgrounds. Many come into care needing temporary help for the family in crisis and others go on to longer term care or adoption. Foster parents offer love and acceptance and are particularly aware of their foster child’s attachment needs and the trauma that can result from separation. If you personally know a foster parent, give them the kudos they deserve. We have a valuable resource which is often unrecognized. Thank you to each one of you who serve and care for the children and youth of our communities. Betty Bogyo, Foster Parent Coordinator
VinylFest brings attention to traditional recording format To the Editor: On Sunday, September 30, the Peach City Community Radio Society is teaming up with the Shatford Centre to host Penticton’s First Annual Okanagan Vinyl Fest. Ian Mackinder, co-chair of the first annual event, states “the Okanagan Vinyl Fest is an event where the public can interact directly with vendors of new and vintage vinyl”. Local vendors, in addition to vendors from all over the Okanagan and beyond will be there offering their LP records, CD’s and audio equipment for sale to the public. “This event will provide the perfect opportunity to find that rare gem that you have been looking for to round out your vinyl collection, or, for the novice collector, a chance to get your collection started at a very reasonable price,” adds Mackinder. Maintaining its committment to the promotion of local artists and talent, Peach City Radio will host live bands to entertain the vinyl enthusiasts as they peruse the various genres of music for sale. “We’re excited to welcome Michael Musclow, Oceans & Lights, and Playing for Tips to the stage during the day long event and Peach City Radio would like to thank these local artists for supporting this event, and our society,” notes Dave Del Rizzo, current President of the PCCRS. Live entertainment for the
event will begin at 10:30 a.m. Okanagan Vinyl Fest will take place from 10 a.m.-3 p.m in the Shatford Auditorium, 760 Main Street, Penticton. Entry is via the rear of the building near Penticton Secondary School. Regular admission is $2 per person. Between 9 a.m.-10 a.m., keen collectors will have the opportunity to peruse the selection of items for sale during the “Early Bird Hour” for a special admission rate of $5. Admission is free for children 10 and under when accompanied by an adult. In February, Peach City Radio conducted a “Vinyl Drive”, where locals donated over 1,500 vinyl records to the society. This vinyl will be sold by Peach City Radio during the event. All proceeds from the Okanagan Vinyl Fest will go towards supporting the society’s efforts to establish a voice for the community in the form of a full time, community-based, broadcast radio station in Penticton. The Peach City Community Radio Society is a not-for-profit organization, registered in British Columbia, and based in Penticton B.C.

Supportive stance made for new Minister of State for small business 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 B.C 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 MLA Naomi 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.

Rights of “no park” supporters were infringed upon recently when numerous “No National Park” signs were vandalized. Green spray paint was used to attempt to change the message to “Go National Park.” Following a recent decision by the Province of B.C.to withdraw support for the idea, it appears the national park has, indeed, already gone.

South Okanagan Concert Society 2012 - 2013 Contributed Last year at this time the South Okanagan Concert Society was reassuring citizens they could look forward to world class concerts despite the massive fire that consumed the local high school and auditorium. Switching to the temporary venue of the Oliver Alliance Church, a concert series was specifically designed to take advantage of the acoustics in a smaller, more intimate setting. It was a huge success. This year, while construction of the new auditorium is underway, the concert society has again shaped a series to bring delight to a community rising above its grievous loss. Flex pass tickets are on sale now at Beyond Bliss (Oliver) and at Imperial Office Pro (Osoyoos). The four admission pass costs only $60. The four admissions are entirely flexible and can be used together or in any combination. Single

dmission is $20. Young people 17 and under are welcome to attend the concerts free. All the concerts will begin at the new start time of 7:30 p.m. Here’s what we have in store for you.On Friday, November 2 the stunning soprano, Tracy Fehr, will offer a programme to showcase her classically trained lyric voice. Expect operatic arias, German lieder, arrangements of African-American spirituals and musical theatre hits. Dennis Nordlund will provide the piano accompaniment. Friday, November 30 a complete change of pace will occur when the 2011 Canadian Grand Master Fiddle champion, Daniel Gervais, performs. He has been playing violin since age five and moves comfortably from fiddle styles to classical violin. No wonder one of his CDs has the title “Endless Possibilities”. Some familiar faces appear for the Friday, February 8 concert, Duo Rendezvous. Jasper Wood, violinist, has enthralled the audience before and when he joins with the charismatic Daniel Bolshoy on classical guitar the outcome will undoubtedly be musical magic. Last year Daniel’s virtuosity and his charming ability to communicate with the audience created a coterie of new local fans. The series will conclude on Friday, March 7 , when the Concert Society takes a firm step out onto a limb. This concert is like no other. Woody Holler and his orchestra are purveyors of western swing. hey love to explore the crossover between jazz and western and produce “gypsy jazz from the saddle”. Raised on cowboy songs and later trained in classical voice and opera, Woody’s voice plus violin, guitar and bass create arrangements rich with virtuosity and style. This is a series guaranteed to chase away any winter blues with music, music, music.

Austin Squires and Julie MacLean of Rexdale, Ontario were in the region recently, taking advantage of September’s great weather to go on a wine tour.

Wineries are reporting an increase in visits for this part of the season, no doubt due to the continuing summerlike weather.

Master composter course returns this September RDOS press release The RDOS will be hosting a free Master Composter / Recycler workshop on Saturday September 29 and Sunday September 30 on composting and recycling. The Master Composter / Recycler program is set up to train local residents that want to educate themselves and others about effective composting and recycling practices. Cameron Baughen, RDOS Solid Waste Management Coordinator, will be leading most of the weekend session. This will be the fourth time the free course has been offered locally. “The workshop will be fun but intensive training for people who want to provide environmental education in their community,” explains Baughen. “Someone with very little experience will learn how to train others in composting basics. Residents that have com-
posting experience will learn how to optimize their techniques.” The end goal of the program is to empower people to promote composting and recycling in their community. To become a certified RDOS Master Composter, participants will be asked to volunteer. Volunteer activities range from setting up compost displays, hosting courses and helping to provide composting workshops for friends and family. Everyone is welcome. Participants are asked to pre-register by Thursday September 27. This September the RDOS will be honouring two community volunteers that have achieved their RDOS Master Composter / Recycler designation. For more information or to sign up please contact the RDOS Solid Waste Department at 250-490-4129, toll free at 1-877-610-3737 or info@rdos.bc.ca.
Friends of the Keremeos Rink hold fund raising raffle Contributed by Friends of the Keremeos Skating Rink Thirteen lucky winners of our 2012 raffle were drawn on Friday, September 7. The prizes were mostly donated by local business and range in value between $18- $140. In addition to the businesses that donated prizes, we would like to thank all thoses locations who acted as ticket sale vendors. Thank you to all who sold or purchased tickets to help us raise a net value of $771. All our fund raising goes directly to get kids on the ice this winter by subsidizing the cost of skating lessons, mites hockey (four – eight year olds) and “Sticks and Pucks” hockey for nine – 14 year olds. We also provide free skate passes to all children in the area. Friends of the Keremeos Skating Rink is a registered charity and can provide income tax receipts for donations. We will gratefully pick up your refundable beverage containers. Friends of the Keremeos Skating Rink has recently received grant-in aid funds from the Village of Keremeos ($250) and Area “G” ($1,000).
Knowing there are a lot of other worthy causes in the community, we are grateful for the support of tax payers through our local government. Area “G” Director Angelique Wood supports our efforts and recognizes “getting kids outside and into fresh air is really important. Good exercise habits developed in childhood result in healthier adults with fewer medical problems.” We are always looking for volunteers. Responsible teens and adults are needed to help with kids’ lessons and hockey. If you have time available, even just to help at a single session in December and January, please call Donna at 499-5654. We are particularly looking for volunteers to “coach / ref” the “Sticks and Pucks” hockey for nine – 14 year olds. It is an adult supervised, drop-in program for all skill levels, with the emphasis on fun. We have a selection of protective equipment available for players to use during the drop-in. For other rink information and skating lessons contact the recreation centre at 4992400.

A wildfire that broke out in the White Lake basin on Sunday, September 23 scorched 40 hectares before B.C. Forestry crews were able to stop its advance. Air tankers and helicopters were also used on the blaze. Above, a line of fire retardant is visible in the foreground. Forestry crews have had their contracts extended as the fire danger in the Okanagan and SImilkameen remains high.

RDOS encourages wine cork recycling in the South Okanagan RDOS press release Ever wondered what to do with old natural wine corks? In the south Okanagan you can recycle natural corks at several local businesses in Penticton and Summerland. Cork is a 100 per cent sustainable and renewable natural resource that can be recycled into dozens of new products. “Put A Cork In It” Cork Recycling Program was set up in Vancouver by Ian McSorley when he learned there were a variety of ways to remanufacture cork into underlay, flooring, acoustical wall tiles and fabrics. Put A Cork In It consolidates shipments of corks and sends them to the Jelinek Cork Group, one of the oldest, continuously active cork companies in the world. Their recycling program was the first of its kind in North America. Put A Cork In It currently has five locations in the South Okanagan. In Penticton residents can bring natural corks to Bench 1775 Winery, Upper Bench Estate Winery, the Penticton Wine Country Visitor Information Centre and the Campbell Mountain Landfill during nor-
mal business hours. In Summerland, Valentine Farm Vinegar Works can also accept corks. For a full listing of locations and addresses visit: www. putacorkinit.ca. “We are big on recycling cardboard and glass and creating our own compost,” explains Peter Wille, Bench 1775 Winery. “Recycling corks fits with our philosophy of being as natural as possible.” Screw tops and synthetic corks are not accepted. Don’t mix synthetic corks with natural corks as they are difficult to remove once mixed together. Synthetic corks can melt and potentially damage cork recycling equipment. Place synthetic corks in the garbage. “Businesses, such as wineries and restaurants, are encouraged to learn more and set themselves up with free cork recycling,” encourages Cameron Baughen, RDOS Solid Waste Management Coordinator. “This program is a great way to promote your business while keeping valuable materials out of the landfill.” For more information visit www.putacorkinit.ca.

terested in becoming a drop off depot can also contact the Regional

PUBLIC NOTICE
RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT
This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, November 19, 2012 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, February 18, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the Province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

The strange world of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan
Titan, the largest moon of the planet Saturn, was discovered in 1655 by Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens. He noted that unlike other moons he knew of, which were generally some shade of grey, Titan appeared pinkish in colour. We learned later that the odd colour is due to Titan being unique compared with other moons in the Solar System in that it has a dense, foggy atmosphere. Later measurements showed that Titan is big, with
a diameter of 5,149 km, compared with our moon’s 3,475 km, and Earth’s 12,756 km. Titan is bigger than the planet Mercury, which has a diameter of 4,879 km. Our access to such accurate values comes as the result of centuries of careful work. Its uniqueness guaranteed that it would get special attention from space probes. First it was Pioneer 11, which sped past in 1979. This measured Titan’s temperature and gave a few fuzzy images. Titan proved to be very cold, which considering its distance from the Sun was not overly surprising. Then in 1980 and 81, Voyagers one and two passed by on their epic voyages to explore the Solar System. However, the cameras could only show a brownish-pink
ball; they could not penetrate the fog. The game changed completely in January, 2004. The Cassini spacecraft, named after Giovanni Cassini, who first studied Saturn and its Moons, was intended to go into orbit around Saturn and by using rocket thrusters to change its orbit, to have multiple close fly-bys of anything of interest in the Saturn system, including of course Titan. However, to make things even better, Cassini had a passenger, another spacecraft, called Huygens. This spacecraft would soft land on Titan, sending back data on the way down and from surface. On January 14 Huygens landed successfully. On the way down it sent pictures showing a landscape with lakes and drainage channels or rivers. It landed in what looked like a dry river
bed, with rounded pebbles, obviously shaped by liquid. The results from Huygens and numerous flybys by Cassini, which was equipped to map Titan through the clouds, showed a world with an atmosphere, wind, rain, lakes and rivers. There are even deserts with huge sand dunes. However, the temperature reported by Huygens was -180 C. Obviously the liquid forming the rain, lakes and rivers cannot be water. From the composition of the atmosphere, liquid methane and ethane, both hydrocarbons, are good candidates. Just to make Titan seem even more exotic, the pebbles in the pictures sent back by Huygens are believed to be ice. At those temperatures, ice is just another rock mineral. Current ideas are that life forms from a particular mixture of chemicals that new-
born worlds get from the material between the stars. On Earth that mixture is long-gone, but it is still there on frigid Titan. It would be very interesting to see how far along the road to life Titan has got. It could be there are life forms on Titan, but at those temperatures they won’t be much like us. Our world would be an unsurvivable blast furnace to them, so I guess they won’t be invading our planet any time soon. Mars and Saturn are low in the Southwest after dark. Saturn is still close to the star Spica. Jupiter rises around 10 p.m and Venus around 3 a.m. The Moon will be full on the 29th, the harvest Moon.

health warning signs that you should not ignore By Marie-Jeanne Fenton, Kelowna, BC Why is it that the most important issue (your health) never gets addressed until you are sick? If you are aware of the warning signs, the “little” symptoms that can lead to larger health problems, you can head off disaster. Prevention is far less costly than disaster recovery - physically, emotionally, and financially. Let’s learn to read the signs and take heed when our body starts to warn us of impending ill health. Many of us don’t know the “subtle” warning signals we experience on a daily basis. We are bombarded daily by so many advertisements designed to mask these symptoms, rather than find the cause of them, that we have come to believe that the symptoms are “normal”. If we only temporarily relieve the symptom and don’t get to the root cause of it, it WILL escalate and cause further damage to your body. All illness, disease, and symptoms of ill health are related. There is no such thing as an “isolated” health problem in your body. Treating any symptom as an isolated incident, without determining the root cause of the symptom, will not fix it, only mask it. On this basis, a natural health practitioner will work with you and your body as a “whole” so that your body’s buildin healing mechanism can give you balance and vital health. Did you know that . . .pain of any kind means your body is in crisis? This means headaches, neck aches, back aches, leg cramps, menstrual cramps - pain of any kind. When your body is in crisis, some of the warning signs it will give you are: • pain/swelling/lumps of any kind • indigestion or incomplete digestion • dry/oily skin • painful menstruation • sensitivity to perfumes and chemicals • bloating • insomnia or irregular sleep patterns • bowel movements that do not float • gas • anal itching • painful joints • abdominal pain/cramps • itchy eyes • chronic tiredness • low back pain • shortness of breath • headaches • bladder/urination problems • sensitive mouth/gums • body aches and pains • varicose veins • hiatal hernia • acne and other skin disorders • water retention • low attention span • angina • bad breath • foggy head • diarrhea and/or constipation • ear infections • dizziness • hemorrhoids and/or protruding rectum • frequent sore throat j • dandruff • nausea • fevers/night sweats • swollen abdomen • hormonal imbalance • dry/oily hair • breathing disorders • soft or brittle nails
TAKING CARE OF YOUR FEET It’s important to take care of your feet. The human foot consists of 26 bones, 33 joints, many muscles, ligaments and tendons as well as thousands of nerve endings. The type of shoe you choose for your feet is very important. But the best shoes you can afford. It’s a myth that you have to “break in” new shoes. A new shoe should feel so good, you’ll want to walk out of the store with them on. TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE FLU This is the time of year we start hearing about flu and flu shots. Our immune systems are pretty tough but each winter it gets challenged by the latest flu virus. It’s easy to help our immune systems fight the flu by getting a flu shot each year. While not 100% effective, it certainly reduces the chance of getting the flu. BIRTH CONTROL PILL HISTORY The origin of the birth control pill began with Margaret Sanger. Born in 1879, she was an American nurse, sex educator and birth control activist. In the early 1950s, she asked researcher Dr. Gregory Pincus to develop a birth control pill. With his work and others, it led to the 1957 approval of Enovid, giving women more reliable control over their fertility for the first time in history. BLONDE VS... We’re not sure if blondes really have more fun but they do have more hair. Blondes average about 140,000 hair follicles, brunettes average 108,000, while redheads have about 80,000. By the way, hair grows about 6 inches (15 cm) per year.

ALL DESIGNS, PLANS AND RENDERINGS © COPYRIGHT JENISH HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED
GREAT FOR A GROWING FAMILY Thanks to its unfinished basement, this two-bedroom home with den would suit either a growing family or anyone who wants a mortgage-helping basement suite. At the home’s heart is the great room. It flows into the dining area and kitchen, creating a multi-function space where family members can pursue their own activities but still stay in touch. The corner fireplace will provide a focus for family activities during the cooler months. The dining room features an optional built-out buffet and is adjacent to a covered deck, the perfect spot for the barbecue. With sliding doors to the sundeck that overlooks the back garden, serving al fresco meals during the summer will be a breeze. The spacious kitchen includes an L-shaped prep-island with a raised eating bar on one side for casual meals and snacks, as well as a pantry. The U-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook. MAIN FLOOR PLAN 1600 SQ. FT. (148.6 M2)

RDOS aquires property adjacent to OK Falls Provincial Park Regional District and B.C Parks collaborate on park expansion at Okanagan Falls By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Earlier this month the regional district announced the purchase of land at 1295 Green Lake Road in Okanagan Falls. The RDOS envisions that the site will be used for the eventual expansion of the Okanagan Falls Provincial Park (Campground). The property at 1295 Green Lake Road became available for sale and Regional District Chairman, Dan Ashton noted, “This purchase and eventual change in land use is a great example of collaboration of different levels of government to establish the highest and best use of lands for the general public’s enjoyment”. The final purchase price of $175,000 will be funded through regional district reserves: • Electoral Area “D” park acquisition fund • Okanagan Falls park acquisition fund • Okanagan Falls Parks and Recreation capital reserve fund Discussions are ongoing concerning the regional district’s desire to enter into a formal agree-
ment with the province to manage the recently acquired property as part of the neighbouring Okanagan Falls Provincial Park. It is hoped that this initiative will greatly enhance recreational camping opportunities currently offered in the park. According to Keith Baric, Regional Planning Section Head, Okanagan, time will be needed to clean up the property, which amounts to around an acre in size. “Tying it into the park will have its challenges,” he said, noting that the purchase will enhance the park experience for those sites already in place, as the property was poorly maintained and previous uses created noise which could be distracting from the park experience at times. Baric said the property will likely be used to add a few more sites to the existing park. This park expansion happens in unison with the recent expansion and grand re-opening of Kenyon Park and the pending acquisition of Christie Memorial Park by the regional district in January 2013. An initiative begun by former Area “D” Director Bill Schwarz to develop a small campground on Crown land on the opposite side of Okanagan River in the community advanced to the conceptual plan stage, but at this point there are no immediate plans to continue with that project.
Keremeos RCMP drug bust By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com On September 24, members of the Keremeos RCMP executed a drug search warrant on a residence
located on Hwy 3A in Keremeos. Officers discovered an indoor grow op where approximately 11 pounds of marijuana and four firearms were seized. Investigation is ongoing.

Contributed Similkameen Elementary Secondary School participates in the Terry Fox run this Friday. SESS students will be operating their bottle depot once again this year in the basement of the Keremeos Learning Centre at 900 Sparks Drive. The depot operates Monday to Friday from 1:45 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., and on Saturdays from 9 - 12. No glass jars, milk cartons or American products. A 50 per cent refund is given on bottles and cans, and donations are accepted. Interschool sports teams have begun their school year, with multiple home games this week in soccer and volleyball.

The piece of property recently purchased by the regional district is anticipated to be used to extend the Okanagan Falls Provincial Park campground. It is anticipated that the property will need to undergo extensive clean up.
Debt-elimination strategies Debt is the stealth bomb that erodes financial stability and even relationships. Debt piles up a little bit at a time and one day you wake up to find that most of your money is going to servicing debt instead of funding an enjoyable life today and a comfortable retirement tomorrow. To get control of your debt, you need to uncover the real reasons for your debt issues by identifying the behaviour that sunk you deep in debt and take the steps that will keep you from sinking even deeper. The first two steps to debt-elimination are these: stop helplessly watching your debt mount and get proactive; stop spending too much. Here are more basic debt-elimination strategies: • Complete a detailed financial review Agree on financial life goals that both of you share, understand. Get serious about reducing your debt load by targeting bad debt like high interest credit or retail cards and setting up a debt consolidation/monthly debt reduction plan. • Look long-term Establish a realistic financial strategy for realizing the things that matter to you: saving for your kids’ education and your retirement; paying down your mortgage; and other important life goals. • Apply your financial plan Your strategies could include: o Establishing an emergency reserve using investments held within a Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs). o Protecting your family with life, critical illness and disability insurance. o Funding your children’s education with Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) eligible investments. o Funding your retirement (and/or
MANAGING Your Money your partner’s retirement) with Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) eligible investments. These are general debt-reduction and money-saving strategies but your situation is unique to you and there will be others that can help relieve your debt burden and enhance your financial security. So here’s one more strategy that will work for you: talk to your professional advisor who has the expertise and perspective to develop the perfect plan for you. This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc. (in Québec – a Financial Services Firm), and Investors Group Securities Inc.

Sept. 16, 1942 - Sept. 2, 2012:
It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Terry after a brief but brave battle with cancer and Àbrosis of the lungs. He died surrounded by his family and at peace. He was grateful to the many friends who phoned and visited him in his Ànal days. Terry was born in Victoria and grew up at Silva Bay, Gabriola Island where his parents founded Page’s Store and Marina in 1943. He attended elementary school in Gabriola and high school in Nanaimo and at Qualicum College. He spent the summers of his youth working at the family Àsh camp and marina and later on the family packer plying the coast. Terry moved to Vancouver in 1964 where he met and married Bundie, his wife of 39 years. They settled in Tsawwassen where they raised their daughters, Karen and Kelly. Terry worked for a concrete company for many years until he retired in 2007. He spent his spare time stock car racing and saltwater and sturgeon Àshing. They moved to Keremeos in 2008 where he spent his time completing his new home, volunteering for community events and began a passion for gardening. Terry always felt a close afÀliation with Silva Bay and his Gabriola Island friends. Terry (PaPa) will be sadly missed by his loving wife Bundie; daughters Karen, who lives in Australia with her daughter Sarah, and Kelly and her daughter Alexis; sister, Gail Page, and her husband John Frederick; nephews Trevor and Dallas and brothers-in-law Jim Dien (Susan) and Bob Dien, and other extended family members, as well as friends from Gabriola, Vancouver, Tsawwassen and Keremeos who knew Terry as a kind-hearted, hard working man, always ready to help others. A celebration of Terry’s life will be held at the Keremeos Senior Centre on September 29 at 2:00 pm.
