Valu Plus celebrates 40 years in the community By Steve Arstad The Review
Saturday, October 20 was a busy day for staff at Valu Plus Foods in Keremeos as the merchant hosted a 40th anniversary celebration. Four hundred pancake breakfasts were served up in the parking lot as the celebration got under way at 8 a.m. The weather, although spotty at times through the day, was pleasant enough to attract a good turnout throughout the day. Grimms Meats hosted a hot dog lunch that attracted roughly an equal number of participants. Inside the grocery store, a number of specials brought throngs of people throughout the day. At 3 p.m., a huge anniversary cake was also presented for customers. to enjoy a slice. “Just when I thought I had seen everyone in town, someone else would show up,” said store manager Shannon Forner. “Our staff are exhausted,” she laughed as the closing hour approached on Saturday. Empty shelves stood in testament to the labours of the day. “We’ve had a fantastic day - it seems as though everyone has been here today.” Customers also had a chance to “spin to win” a number of prizes, including a Vancouver Canucks hockey package, an Ipad 2, free groceries for a year, and a Robert Bateman print.

Keremeos Public Works Foreman Jordy Bosscha accepts a Fortis award from Fortis Energy Efficiency Representative Perry Feser in front of the village office last Monday. Keremeos won a Conservation Excellence award for the energy efficiency upgrades the village has been making to village infrastructure. Accepting the award with Bosscha are village employees Matt Laughlin, Shea Carlson and Christie Quaedvlieg.
Village recognized for energy efficiency upgrades Ongoing program to make village infrastructure more energy efficient pays off with a savings of 100,000 kilowatts in annual useage By Steve Arstad The Review Fortis BC recently presented the Village of Keremeos with recognition of the village’s energy saving efforts at the power utility’s 2012 PowerSense awards. The village recently upgraded the heating system at the village municipal office, replacing an old, energy wasting unit with one sized to fit the building. A supplementary heat pump system, designed to work up to -35 C, was also added. “It’s made a big difference to our power useage,” admitted Public Works Foreman Jordy Bosscha. He said the village also installed energy efficient lighting, in an attempt to further reduce annual energy consumption in the 100,000 kilowatt range. Village employees are noticing the upgrades from an improved personal comfort point of view as well. The village offices are more comfortable with the improved
heating system. Keremeos began upgrades to the community’s municipal buildings three years ago, making the efficiency upgrades an annual budget priority. The program continues with similar upgrades underway at Victory Hall, which in addition to a heat pump, will also have on demand hot water systems installed in the hall. The Okanagan Conservation Leadership winners — 45 organizations and individuals acting as leaders, catalysts, and educators — are: City of Penticton, Interior Health Authority, Town of Summerland, School District 53 Oliver, Village of Keremeos, Overwaitea Foods, Hudson’s Bay Company, Loblaws, UBC Properties Trust, UBC Okanagan, City of Kelowna, Kelowna Toyota, Sears Canada, Orchard Park Shopping Centre, Delta Grand Hotel, Versatile Fab and Machine, Okanagan Strata Management, Northwood Retirement Resort, Pushor Mitchell Building, Interior Savings Credit Union, Sunstar Ventures. FortisBC PowerSense Conservation Excellence Awards recognize customers who have shown a commitment to innovation, conservation and sustainability by completing energy efficiency projects that saved more than 100,000 kilowatt hours annually and reduced natural gas use by more than 10 per cent when compared to an equivalent time period in 2011.

High school students given powerful message By Steve Arstad The Review The Education on Substance Abuse Committee and MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) teamed up to present “Long Weekend” to SESS high school students
on October 22. “Long Weekend” is a film about four youthful friends who spend a weekend at the cottage in Ontario, using drugs and alcohol. A number of bad choices are made, which results in the death of one teen and another who becomes parlyzed.
MADD Outreach Field Representative Chaouki Hamka presented the film to the students, said, “The film relates the impact and consequences of impaired driving - and drives home the message how one bad choice can affect the rest of your life.”

Victim Services Coordinator nominated for community safety award Keremeos RCMP Victim Services Coordinator Ron Shonk was recently nominated for the 2012 Crime Prevention and Community Service Award Contributed Ron Shonk has served as Keremeos RCMP Victim Services Coordinator since January of 2009. The Village of Keremeos is the hub of the Lower Similkameen Valley, including the smaller communities of Olalla and Cawston. In this capacity he has provided service to over 50 new clients per year, with an active case load from 60 to 75 persons. In mid 2009 his contract holder (Lower Similkameen Community Services Society) asked him for suggestions regarding the use of some unused funding within his program account. He proposed creation of the Lower Similkameen’s “Proactive Violence Project” (PVPP) envisioned as an ongoing community wide grassroots effort to raise awareness, educate, and take preventive action with regard to issues of domestic violence, bullying, sexual assault / date rape and elder abuse. With the endorsement of both the LSCSS administrator and the Keremeos RCMP detachment commander, the proposal was submitted to and received the approval of The Ministry of Public Safety, Victim Services and Crime Prevention Division. Under the motto, “Safety in our Communities, Safety in our Homes”, PVPP now enjoys the official endorsement of thirty government, civic, fraternal, health care and religious organizations and local businesses - including the Lower Similkameen Indian Band, RDOS Areas “B” and
“G”, School District 53 and the Village of Keremeos. Ron continues to serve as the project coodinator. During its nearly two and one half years Ron has researched, written and submitted over sixteen press releases and letters to the local weekly newspaper, the Review, all of which have been printed. PVPP has also used direct mail to the valley’s residents as well as designing and distributing seasonal posters which are widely displayed throughout the valley’s communities as a means of communicating its proactive message and mission. It has provided public seminars on elder abuse, distributed literature to parents and school children and - cooperatively with the Similkameen Elementary and Secondary School - has offered a program for parents on bullying. Growing out of his work with abused and assaulted spouses, Ron became aware of the need to capture the attention of abusers themselves, to challenge their behaviours, and to offer resources for change to them this side of a jail cell. His first step, through PVPP, was to launch the “Men Together Initiative”. Over one hundred of the valley’s male residents and workers, ages 16 and over, are now members of “Men Together: Saying No to Violence Against Women and Children”. The number of united male voices in the area continues to grow. When local attempts to find funding to create a counselling and support program for abusers was unsuccessful, Ron took his concerns and proposal to the South Okanagan - Similkameen VIR Committee, a network of thirty organizations and agencies that all know and address the impact of violence in relationships. Recognizing the “Stop the Violence” potential of direct outreach to abusers, VIR was successful in finding intial funding from both B.C. and RCMP sources, and recently
launched their professionally staffed, “Change for Good” program. CFG now offers counselling services in Penticton, Oliver and Osoyoos, Princeton and Keremeos. Ron wrote the successful grant proposals. Ron has also served as a key player in securing funding for and organizing a response based practice training event for VIR workers in March of this year. The intensive, three day event, held in Penticton, drew 127 professionals from all over B.C. Ron also serves on the Village of Keremeos Alcohol and Substance Abuse Education Committee, which provides MADD and other creative programs to the local school; he is a member of the Change for Good Advisory Committee, and continues his active participation on the VIR Committee. His commitment, innovation, perseverance, and cooperative spirit are r e c og n i z e d and appreciated not only within his local community, but also among his multi org a n i z at i o n colleagues throughout the Okanagan - Similkameen area.

BREAKING NEWS:
An ancient river of gold
THE REVIEW IS ALSO AVAILABLE ONLINE AT
www.keremeosreview.com
Prospector believes that paleo-river channel source of Rich Bar strike By Gary DeVon Oroville Gazette- Tribune OROVILLE – Bob Larson believes he’s located gold in what he calls a paleo-channel, an ancient river bed that parallels and crosses the Similkameen River. He and his partners in Similkameen LLP feel this could be a major find, but they don’t have the financing to continue their exploration. “It’s going to take more resources than our group of prospectors have,” said Larson on one of his frequent trips to the area from his home in Bellingham. “I know there are people out there that would be interested in this. We’re going to have to see what comes out of the woodwork.” Most of the exploration he and his group have done has been on BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land upstream of Shanker’s Bend. Their 88 acre claim is not far, he says, from the Rich Bar in the Similkameen, the first gold strike in Washington State in the mid-1800s. The stakes where Larson and his team drilled in December of 2005 can still be seen. At that time they drilled three test holes and returned in the spring of 2006 and drilled two more. On two black sheets of construction paper Larson has laid out samples of the gold they found in their test holes with the various depths noted where each sample was gathered. He said the placer gold they discovered got coarser the deeper they drilled. “We made gold discoveries at 35 feet to 75 feet. Of course we’d like to go deeper, but I feel beyond a shadow of a doubt that we’ve found the source for the Rich Bar,” he says. Larson, who is the author of Gold Prospecting, The Ultimate Adventure, talks about the Similkameen in his story, The Mystery River. He has also written of his prospecting efforts in the area in ICMJ’s Prospecting and Mining Journal. In his research the prospector points to mentions of placer gold finds in the Oroville Gazette from Oct. 2, 1931. “The gravel is said to carry placer

Barlee, who had a popular television show on Canadian television, talks of placer gold in several locations in north Okanogan County, and particularly about the 1859 gold find near Shanker’s Bend by U.S. Army soldiers doing a boundary survey. Barlee describes the Similkameen as “one of the greatest placer gold rivers in the state yielding a bonanza of over 31,000 ounces of gold.

Silver Fields sampling ore dump Silver Fields press release
Recoverable silver values may lie in former mine waste
In an attempt to raise funds for its drilling activities on Silver Fields’ Keremeos silver project located on Mount Richter, between Keremeos and Osoyoos, Silver Fields Resources has been mapping and sampling the waste dump which contains material from the original mine tunnel excavation. A visual inspection of the waste dump material has discovered samples containing visible silver. If the assays from the sampling are significant, Silver Fields intends to rebuild the road leading to dump area and extract the product for shipping to the nearest mill for processing. Permitting has been applied for and approved for the project; negotiations are continuing with the land owners and discussions have been ongoing with several companies which have the capability of processing the ore.

Editorial Termination not settled until courts rule
There is a case currently before the courts involving a regional district firefighter who is taking the RDOS to court in a wrongful dismissal claim. Doug MacLeod, a Keremeos volunteer firefighter was fired “without cause” on March 25, 2011. MacLeod has never accepted the regional district’s decision in the matter, and his lawsuit with the RDOS continues. It was surprising, then, to hear Regional District Chief Administrative Officer Bill Newell’s comment at a committee meeting of the regional district board on October 18. During a discussion on regional district policy regarding emergency services response to calls out of their service area, Committee Chairman Gary Litke asked about the case. “Wasn’t there an issue in Keremeos - in the Keremeos fire department - about operating out of their jurisdiction, and wasn’t there a personnel action taken as a result of that?” Litke asked - to which Keremeos Director Manfred Bauer clarified that it was ongoing. “That’s ongoing?” Litke queried - to which CAO Newell then responded in the negative. “It was settled - then how does that affect what we are doing here?” asked Litke, to which Newell explained, “It was settled with a termination.” Perhaps the regional district’s CAO believes the matter is dead - but our information is that the case is before small claims court, so it is, indeed, ongoing - in fact, the two parties had a court appearance the day before the committee meeting. It’s also surprising that the CAO would indicate that MacLeod’s dismissal was based on a response outside the fire department’s service area - as that currently is not the basis for their defence of MacLeod’s dismissal. From our perspective, there is more to MacLeod’s case than a wrongful dismissal. It’s also about how respectfully the regional district treats its long time, “valuable” volunteers. At any rate, it would appear that the matter of MacLeod’s termination is anything but settled - but it’s an issue that is now in the hands of the courts, not the regional district’s.

Attack of the U.S. celebrities By Tom Fletcher Black Press
There was palpable disappointment among reporters when Greenpeace organizers clarified that U.S. actors Daryl Hannah and Mark Ruffalo weren’t actually going to join the sit-in against heavy oil pipeline proposals at the B.C. legislature on Monday. I was disappointed too. I would have liked to learn more about what a washedup mermaid and an easily confused Incredible Hulk really believe about the North American oil industry. In the spirit of celebrity slacktivism, both sent statements of support. To be fair, Ruffalo may still be busy searching for the “truth” about 9/11. In 2007 he declared that the official U.S. government report on the terrorist attacks was “completely illegitimate” because “buildings don’t fall down like that.” I wonder what the relatives of those aboard the hijacked airliners think of him. Hannah has had lots of
free time since starring in the 1984 mermaid fantasy “Splash”. Now she’s mostly famous for getting arrested, and she did so again in Texas on Oct. 3, standing in front of earthmoving equipment building the southern section of the Keystone XL pipeline. It’s worth noting that the project Hannah tried to stop has the support of the Barack Obama administration. The southern section from Cushing, Oklahoma oil storage facilities to Texas refineries is indeed being built by the sinister foreign TransCanada Corp., but it doesn’t carry the dreaded Canadian “tar sands” oil that eco-celebrities are convinced will end life on Earth as we know it. It’s the northern section that Obama has temporarily opposed, after fervent demonstrations such as the one in Washington DC where Hannah’s first celebrity arrest occurred in 2011. At that time, Hannah recited the familiar talking points of the U.S. environmentalists who exclusively target Alberta. In a new book, oil sands pioneer
and Suncor founder Rick George dissects Hannah’s claims, and asks why they were reported so widely and uncritically. Hannah claimed “the contribution to the carbon in the atmosphere is unprecedented.” George cites a Royal Society of Canada report that concludes the entire oil sands operation is responsible for five per cent of Canadian emissions. Fossil-fuelled electricity generation is 16 per cent of Canada’s total. Vehicles and other transportation account for 27 per cent. “How does the oil sands contribution possibly qualify as unprecedented?” George asks. Another Hannah quote: “I’ve been hearing about how many people have cancer that live downstream from the tar sands project.” Canadians heard that too, thanks in large part to an alarmist CBC documentary by David Suzuki featuring jet-set movie director James Cameron. George describes how this allegation was made in 2006 by a doctor who claimed a cluster of rare bile
cancer cases in the remote village of Fort Chipewyan, and blamed it on oil sands mining. Headlines blared around the world. George details the Alberta Health Services study that followed, identifying three such cases in 12 years. Statistically higher, yes. A general risk, no. Other types of cancer in Fort Chip were lower than the general population. This finding was endorsed by Australian, New Zealand, U.S. and Canadian researchers. The doctor who diagnosed the original bile cancers admitted: “These results were based on a small number of cases – there is no cause for alarm.” Was this news trumpeted around the world? You can guess the answer. My point here isn’t to make fun of ill-informed celebrities. It’s to counteract the fawning, scientifically ignorant coverage they are routinely given by the mainstream media. And I’m not promoting the oil sands or pipelines. I’m saying they should be considered based on facts, not foolishness.

Looking for a hockey game To the Editor: I have no idea who I am supposed to be writing this to. I only have one thing to say. I love hockey; it’s like the only thing I have to look forward to in winter. I’m disabled and so are 90 per cent of my friends. I hope Brodeur will play another year. You players, coaches, owners are fighting
about millions or billions of dollars. There is a commercial on TV asking for people to donate $20 to help a child live for a month. If you took a quarter of your income for one year you could support a village for the rest of their lives. And if you’re on strike?.. Doris Jekel, Olalla
Pet owner’s problems begin with missing cat To the Editor: To all pet owners and lovers of their pets: About a month ago my darling pet cat went missing. I looked for her all over Hedley where we live. I asked questions of neighbours and consulted with those that have more experience than me with the behaviour of domestic animals, in this case, cats... to find out that indeed its disappearance did seem peculiar. No one had seen her. My next step was to approach the local SPCA for our region, the Penticton SPCA office. After giving them a description of the cat and letting them know that the cat had been tattooed and a microchip implanted for easier recognition in case she got lost, they said no cat fitting the description had been turned in. Both the microchip and tattoed information were linked to the veterinary hospital in Chilliwack. I contacted the hospital where they too assured me that no one from Penticton had contacted them about my cat. By this time I started losing hope of ever finding her again. Then, about a week ago, I heard the screams of a woman that was house sitting my next door neighbour’s house. For some reason my instincts told me that the incident might be connected to my cat. It was revealed to me that a cat fitting my cat’s description had been found in a leg hold trap set by another neighbour prior to going on holidays. Several local residents had stated that this man has a history of taking pleasure in killing defenseless little animals, cats, dogs, and squirrels as an example. I decided to go to the Penticton SPCA to inquire once again. Penticton SPCA this time around confirmed the identity of my cat by the numbers on her tattoo. They said the cat had been brought into
their office with severe injuries as well as being severely traumatized by having been in a trap for more than five days without food or water. A person wanting to get rid of an animal has several options - first, a person can let the owner of the pet know that the animal needs to be kept out of their yard. If the owner does not understand, they can opt for a live trap and turn the animal over to the SPCA who in turn would contact the owner and warn them of their neglectfulness. Using leg hold traps is inhumane, no doubt about it, they often force the animal to chew their own leg off in an attempt to free themselves. To make a long and distressful story short, this man with his actions has caused an undue amount of pain to me personally, to my family and most importantly undue pain and suffering to my cat. At present my cat remains in Penticton at the SPCA, who refuse to return her to me. They intially tried to extort $2,500 for her return to my family, and now they are saying I have no right to claim her back! It is my family’s consolation that the vet at the Chilliwack clinic as well as my GP stand behind us. I would like to add that let this be a lesson to the importance to stand up against violent acts such as this and many others. People who conduct themselves with violence or commit violent acts have to receive a strong message that bullying will not be tolerated. If anyone wishes to come forward with more information about the case, you can either contact the Penticton SPCA or report to the local RCMP .

The Review, Thursday, October 25, 2012 — Page 9
For some, a dream job would be a vacation planner – for themselves! Vacationing in B.C. can take so many forms that it would indeed be a full-time job. The tourism and hospitality industry is an extremely diverse industry with over 400 different occupations – including occupations that lead to longer-term careers, as well as those that fit well for those seeking part-time work, like students or older workers who are not yet ready to retire. British Columbia’s tourism industry will be a leader in provincial job growth as businesses look to fill 101,000 new job openings by 2020, according to a study of labour demand and supply by go2, the BC tourism industry’s human resource association. The Tourism Labour Market Strategy, released in the spring of 2012 by go2, sets out the plan to recruit, retain and train the workers needed to keep pace with the growth projected for the industry. Nearly half of the 101,000 openings will be new jobs created by the tourism industry across the province, adding 44,220 more jobs to the provincial workforce by 2020. The other approximately 57,000 openings are due to replacements (i.e. retirements). “The labour strategy co-ordinated by go2 is a key pillar of industry growth in the province. Without it, we simply wouldn’t have the skilled workers in place to deliver the visitor experience throughout BC,” says Lana Denoni, Chair of TIABC, the Tourism Industry Association of British Columbia. British Columbia’s location, bordered by the Rocky Mountains on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west, makes it unique within Canada. Its mountain and coastal scenery, opportunities for summer sailing, winter skiing, and other activities such as fishing or sightseeing in coastal or inland waters or experiencing our vibrant cities all make us a world-class destination. Tourism helps to diversify our economy and also brings new community services to permanent residents. BC’s tourism and hospitality industry is now the single largest “primary resource industry” in the province, generating an annual real GDP ($2002) of more than $6.4 billion in 2010, ahead of forestry, mining, oil and gas extraction, and agriculture. Tourism and hospitality generated $13.4 billion in annual revenue in 2010. Overall, between 2004 and [Photo: Lana Denoni, Chair, TIABC] 2010, industry revenues grew by a total of 25.5 per cent, representing an average annual growth rate of 4.2 per cent. The provincial government’s Gaining the Edge: A Five-year Strategy for Tourism in British Columbia targets revenue growth of five per cent a year that will top $18 billion in tourism spending by 2016. The fastest growing sectors for tourism job growth over the next decade are expected to be recreation and entertainment and travel services. There are an estimated 17,943 tourism-related businesses across the province, employing about 260,000 workers, or 10.8 per cent of B.C.’s total labour force of 2.4 million people. More than 80 per cent of tourism’s new job openings are projected to come in Food and Beverage Services (43,410 openings), Recreation and Entertainment (20,530 openings) and the Accommodation sector (18,920 openings). “After several years of slow labour growth, the tourism industry is poised to expand,” said Arlene Keis, Chief Executive Officer of go2. “Labour shortages are already being felt in places like Northern B.C., the Thompson Okanagan and in the Rockies regions. By 2016, the crunch will be more acute throughout the province.” “The tourism industry often provides people with their important first job and sets them on their career path,” said Keis. “Tourism is also the largest employer of youth, with one in four British Columbians under the age of 24 working in the industry.” “This anticipated growth in tourism reinforces the need to plan carefully and ensure that there are enough workers with the right skills in the right communities to meet the tourism industry’s future labour needs,” said Keis. Boomer Gaye Dolezal of Sidney, BC says “Working part-time in Tourism Information was a fun way for me to use my great knowledge of Canadian cities. I often astounded visitors with the connections I could make to their hometowns.” She adds “People like to feel like welcome guests, not just tourists.” Career section of go2hr.ca: http://www.go2hr.ca/careers-tourism Tourism Labour Market Strategy: http://www.go2hr.ca/strategy

Province issues caution to apple juice consumers Make sure apple juice and cider are pasteurized Little to fear when purchasing from local producers By Steve Arstad The Review With the arrival of apple season and fall fairs, the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) is reminding people that unpasteurized apple juice and cider can sometimes be contaminated with harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella. In the last decade in North America more than 1,700 people have fallen ill after consuming juice and cider. Most of these outbreaks involved unpasteurized juices and ciders such as apple cider, orange juice and lemonades. While the vast majority of apple juice and cider sold in B.C. is not dangerous, the safety of unpasteurized products cannot be confirmed. Only pasteurized apple juice and cider are free of pathogens. Unpasteurized apple juice and cider should be boiled for at least a minute before drinking to kill any pathogens that might be present. There are several local producers of apple juice in the Lower Similkameen. Consumers have little to worry about when purchasing from these producers, as their products are all pasteurized.Worrenberg’s Farm, located on Upper Bench Road, is a local producer of apple juice, all of which is safe.
“We pasteurize all our apple juice,” said Marcus Keller of Worrenberg’s. “There is a chance that E-coli could be picked up on an apple that was laying in an orchard that had had manure on it, but the possibility is slight. We don’t use culls in our juice - heat treatment or ultraviolet gets rid of the bacteria.” Keller noted that Worrnberg’s didn’t sell fresh apple juice unless it was going to be made into alcoholic cider. “The fermentation process also kills any bacteria,” he added.Worrenberg apple juice is available at the farmgate, and in local health food stores. Mariposa Orchards also produces apple juice, which is made by a mobile juicing machine that turns out a completely finished product that is pasteurized and packaged. “Our apple juice will keep for a year after bottling,” said Edith Schwetje, owner of Mariposa. “Because it’s vacuum sealed, it’s good for three months in the fridge after opening.” Mariposa juice is available for purchase at their fruit stand. Both retailers and consumers should check before buying apple juice or cider to determine if it has been pasteurized. If this information is not on the label, ask the retailer or producer, or phone the number on the product label. If you cannot be certain, consider the possible risks to you and your family before buying the product. Freezing or refrigeration will not make unpasteurized apple juice or cider safe. Ensure freshness and quality by refrigerating apple juice and cider and respecting their best-before dates.
RDOS reviews emergency services response policy By Steve Arstad The Review The regional district Protective Services Committee listened to Emergency Services Coordinator Mark Woods explain RDOS policy on October 18. A request by Area “D” Director Tom Siddon at the previous regional district director’s meeting to have the regional district’s policy regarding its fire departments response to out of service area incidents was explained by Woods. The matter became a source of concern after the recent Peachland fire, during which there was a delay in response to the original call because it was not in the local fire department’s service area. Siddon wanted to know how flexible the RDOS policy regarding response to out of service area incidents was. Woods explained to the committee that the regional district policy had been developed in 1997. “Essentially, what it does, is that it allows emergency responders, specifically the fire chief or his designate the opportunity to go outside his boundary under very specific circumstances, and that would be whether they have approval
from the provincial government, that would be emergency management or PEP, or through the forestry branch. We see that at major events such as wildfires. hazardous spills and such. So there is a structure in place that allows that to occur. I happen to be looking at that policy right now and will provide the board with some options for future consideration. This is a fairly limited policy, it hasn’t been updated since 1997, so it needs to be updated anyway.” “Wasn’t there an issue with the Keremeos fire department operating out of their jurisdiction, and wasn’t action taken against one of their personnel as a result?” asked Committee Chair Gary Litke, to which Keremeos Director Manfred Bauer suggested it was an ongoing issue. (The firefighter in question has taken the matter to court, where the case has yet to be ruled upon). “No, that matter was settled with a termination,” Chief Administrative Officer Bill Newell answered, noting further that firefighters responding to an out of jurisdiction incident would not be covered by Worksafe without a task number provided by provincial authorities.

British Columbia - Before parents and children head out for Halloween trick or treating, BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) and the specialists at BC Children’s Hospital have some safety tips for parents. These safety tips are based on visits to BC Children’s Hospital Emergency Department and BCAS call data that shows on Halloween last year, between the hours of 4 and 9 pm, there was a significant increase in the number of ambulance calls for traffic incidents and burns compared to regular nights. Every year, BC Children’s and BC Ambulance Service treat many preventable injuries involving trick-or-treaters, such as falls from ill-fitting costumes, injuries from being struck by a car, burns from fireworks or cuts from pumpkin-carving. The following tips can help parents and caregivers keep children safe this Halloween: BE SEEN – Parents as well as children should wear bright costumes or clothing made of flame-resistant material with reflective tape, or carry light sticks or flashlights to ensure motorists can see them. Consider trick-or-treating in a group. Don’t forget to stop, look left, right and left again – before crossing a street. Always cross the street at corners and crosswalks. If there isn’t a sidewalk, walk beside the road or street facing traffic. DRESS APPROPRIATELY – To prevent falls, make sure your child’s costume fits well and isn’t too long or loose. Dress for the weather to ensure your child is comfortable and warm. A mask can obscure your vision; instead try make-up. ADULT SUPERVISION – Young children should always have a responsible adult escorting them door-to-door on lights on, or the walkway isn’t well-lit, and avoid unfamiliar Halloween night. Skip past houses that don’t have animals. PUMPKIN CARVING – Kids under six should not use knives or other sharp instrucan express their creativity by drawing a face ments to carve pumpkins. Instead they on a pumpkin or dressing it up with colourful fall leaves. Parents should use a flashpumpkin rather than a candle, to reduce the light or a light stick to illuminate a risk of burns. most frequently among children under two CHOKING – Choking occurs years of age, but choking can happen at any age. Do not give children under five popcorn, hard candy, or nuts. When eating candy, parents should have children sit at a table since eating while playing, jumping or talking can lead to choking. Information is available through HealthLink BC at http:// www.healthlinkbc.ca/kb/content/special/ chkng.html#aa111963. FIREWORK SAFETY – To be safe, plan family fun and activities However, if you plan to use fireworks as that don’t include fireworks. part of your celebration, only purchase them from a reliable source and always read and follow label directions. Keep water or a fire extinguisher nearby when lighting fireworks. SLOW DOWN AND WATCH FOR PEDESTRIANS – Motorists are advised to slow down and drive with extra caution this Halloween. BCAS notes that historically there is an increase in the number of traffic accidents on Halloween evening. Children are easily distracted and difficult to see because of their small size, particularly if they run into the street from between parked cars. BE A GOOD HOST – As a homeowner, make sure the path to your front door is clear of any obstructions or sharp objects and well-lit to prevent trick-or-treaters from falling. Don’t leave pumpkins with burning candles close to where children may be trick-or-treating to prevent burns or costumes catching on fire. ENJOY THE TREATS, BUT CHECK THEM FIRST – Always check the treats before your child eats them. Throw away any items with torn wrappers or holes in the wrapper. Wash and cut any fruit before eating. Quotes: Jane Christy, BC Ambulance Service Unit Chief, Lillooet
Pharmasave #250, Keremeos, BC 250-499-5543
“Make sure your children are in highly visible clothing. Visibility is important whether you’re in a rural area or if you’re on a sidewalk in an urban area.” Dr. Ash Singhal, pediatric neurosurgeon and Director of Pediatric Trauma Program at BC Children’s Hospital “If you’re driving a vehicle – slow down – particularly when it gets dark, because it can be more difficult to see kids stepping from crosswalks or darting across a street.” Dan Earl, BC Ambulance Service Unit Chief, Port Hardy “Parental supervision of activities for young children is a must. Whether you’re making a jack-o-lantern, trick-or-treating or watching a fireworks or a firecracker display, always be there to ensure the safety of your kids.” BC Ambulance Service and BC Children’s Hospital are part the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA), a specialist in prevention. PHSA is committed to sharing expertise and knowledge to promote health and prevent illness and injury, manage chronic conditions, and lessen the burden of disease in high risk populations.

Halloween’s world celebrations Halloween dates back thousands of years to ancient Celts and Europeans. Although Halloween is now largely associated with the celebrations that take place across much of North America, where 65 percent of Americans decorate their homes and places of business in the Halloween spirit, Halloween is celebrated in various ways around the globe. * England: In the past, Brits tossed objects such as stones, vegetables and nuts into a bonfire to frighten away the spirits. These symbolic sacrifices also were used as a form of fortune-telling. If a pebble thrown into the flames at night was no longer visible in the morning, then it was believed that the person who tossed the pebble would not survive another year. Halloween fell out of favor after the Protestant Reformation spread through the country. However, in recent years some have begun to adopt the American tradition of trick-or-treating. * Hong Kong: A Halloween-type festival in Hong Kong is known as “Yue Lan,” which is the festival of the hungry ghosts. It is believed that, during this time, spirits roam the world for 24 hours. * France: Halloween is considered an American holiday by most French 499-2862 and was relatively unknown before 1996. * Ireland: Ireland is thought to be the birthplace of Halloween, and many of the same traditions of old are still practiced today. In addition to costumes and treats, individuals may play an apple-bobbing game called “snap-apple,” where participants have to try to take a bite of an apple suspended on a string. Children also play tricks on neighbors, including “knock-a-dolly,” which is essentially a variation on “ring-and-run.” * Spanish-speaking nations: Many Spanish-speaking nations celebrate “El Dia de los Muertos.” It is supposed to be a joyous event where people remember friends and family members who have died. Candles and incense are burned to help the departed find his or her way home. * Austria: Some people will leave bread, water and a lighted lamp on the table on Halloween night before going to bed. It was once believed that such items would welcome the dead souls back to Earth on a night Austrians considered to be full of strong cosmic energies. * Czechoslovakia: Czechs place chairs by a fireside on Halloween night. There are enough chairs for each living and dead family member. * Italy: Halloween traditions have just recently begun to blossom in Italy, where decorations and pumpkins are popular. While many of the traditions borrow from the Americans, there is at least one uniquely Italian tradition taking place in the hill town of Corinaldo. La Notte delle Streghe, “The Night of the Witches,” occurs in this town with music, dancing and a witch-themed fashion show that names Miss Strega (Miss Witch). * Australia: Halloween isn’t as popular in Australia as it is in the United States and Canada. Australians may celebrate Halloween as Guy Fawkes Eve or Mischief Night. Children create mischief or get treats. Many Australians simply celebrate the holiday with a dance at their schools. Halloween is alive and well around the world. Perhaps this year North American families will want to incorporate some global traditions into their standard Halloween plans.
Hilltop Esso
Did you know? Despite the movies, books, historical references and personal delving into his story, there is much that is still a mystery about the story of Dracula -- the mythological figure purported to feed on the blood of unsuspecting victims. The blood-sucking being explored in the novel by Bram Stoker is believed to have been loosely based on an individual from Romania credited with heinous and bloody crimes. Vlad III, also known as Vlad Tepes “Vlad the Impaler,” descended from a father named Vlad II Dracul from the House of Draculesti. This was in the House of Basarab. These people were a family that had an important role in the establishing of the Principality of Wallachia, a geographical region in Romania. The Romanian word “drac,” derived from the Latin word “draco,” means both dragon and devil. Vlad III was a prince who spent much of his rule campaigning against the Ottoman Empire and its expansion. He was well known for impaling his enemies, and his reputation for his excessive cruelty grew throughout Europe. He was likely dubbed “Dracula” thanks to his family name. Many people believe that Bram Stoker borrowed loosely on the tale of Vlad III to create his book. Other than the name and the region in the world where Count Dracula was supposed to have lived, there are no real similarities between the fictional and historical Dracula. According to a book written by Nicolae Stoicescu entitled “Vlad Tepes,” the author expresses resentment about how the historical figure of Dracula had been appropriated by the West and converted into a popular horror icon. He is quoted as saying, “This nonsense ascribed to Dracula [the novel] is highly popular and overshadows the true image of the Prince of Walachia. Those who would like to go on cultivating Dracula the vampire are free to do it without, however, forgetting that he has nothing in common with the Romanian history where the real Vlad Tepes whom we know by his deeds holds a place of honor.”

Finding evidence of a stream bed on Mars
A
t first, the image did not look very impressive. It showed a piece of rock sticking out of sandy, gravelly soil. The rock itself, reddish, like its surroundings, consisted of rounded pebbles cemented together by some much finer stuff. This kind of rock is called conglomerate, but quarrymen often refer to it as “pudding stone”, because it looks like a plum pudding. This particular specimen was especially generous with the plums.
Things get more intriguing as we look more closely. The pebbles are all nicely rounded, like the ones we find at the bottom of streams and on old stream beds. If you bash two pieces of rock together, you’ll get some dust and a jagged fragment or two. If you want to try this, wear gloves and eye protection. Proper footwear would not hurt as well. Dropped rocks have a magical property that makes them home onto feet. Rock fragments start off as jagged bits. They get turned into rounded pebbles by flowing water. They get rolled along, abraded by sand and collide with other rocks. The result is nicely rounded and often polished pebbles. Looking even more
closely at the image shows not all the pebbles are the same kind or rock. There are contributions from a number of different rock outcrops. They were all picked up, rounded and rolled to a new location kilometres away by flowing water. We see this in almost any stream bed. Then, as the l ay e r o f p ebbl e s builds up, silt settles in the cracks, where the current cannot wash it way, until ove r m i l l i o n s o f years it consolidates into the pudding stone we see today. So our rock outcrop says that long ago, a fairly brisk stream flowed through that location, possibly billions of years ago, and what we see today is a reminder of that ancient stream. What sort of terrain did it flow through? Were there living creatures in it? What
makes this particular stream interesting is that it flowed on Mars, and the image was sent back by the Curiosity rover. P i c t u re s t a ke n from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a spacecraft surveying the Red Planet from above, show that Curiosity landed near a stream that once flowed down from nearby high ground. As it reached the bottom of the grade and slowed, it made a huge fan of dropped material. Some knowledge of geology and physical geography help us to understand the landscape around us, and the forces that made it as we see it today. The features we see might individually seem commonplace and everyday, but the story they tell us is anything but that. Now we are seeing that although Mars has been a fro-
zen, almost airless and unbelievably dry place for many millions of years, once, l o n g ag o, i t wa s not like that at all. There was a denser atmosphere, it was warmer, due to the greenhouse effect, and there were lakes and rivers, even seas, which meant it must also have rained. Were there living things on Mars’ surface back then? Why did it all go wrong on Mars, but not for us here on Earth? It would be very useful to know that! Mars is low in the Southwest after sunset. Jupiter rises around 9 p.m. and Venus around 5 a.m. The Moon will be full on the 29th.

Incorporation consideration If you’re a small unincorporated business owner or a professional whose regulatory body allows incorporation, you’ve probably given the potential benefits of incorporating a great deal of thought. The most often cited benefits of incorporation are a more advantageous tax structure and creditor-proofing personal finances. But there can be drawbacks. Here are some of the issues to consider when making your ‘incorporate or not’ decision. Cash Flow If you need all of the profits from your business to support your personal cash flow needs, incorporation may not be for you because the cost of setting up and maintaining the corporation could outweigh any tax benefits. On the other hand, if you are financially able to retain some profits inside the company, you could derive significant tax savings. Taxation Vexation If you are just starting your business, incorporation should probably wait because losses incurred by an incorporated business can’t flow through to shareholders. In the early stages of your business, you’re likely better off using losses personally against other income. Once your business begins earning ‘active business income’ (income earned from your business operation, not, for example, from other corporate investments) you may gain an immediate tax break (in some provinces) and the opportunity to defer part of your tax payment. Creditor-proofing Personal Assets Corporate creditors can only go after assets owned by the corporation, but banks and other suppliers often require small business owners to personally guarantee corporate liabilities and corporate directors may be liable for many types of unpaid debts such as outstanding income tax, HST, GST and employee source deductions. Incorporation may provide some creditor protection, but only if properly structured, so speak to an advisor to ensure you are protected. Other Potential Advantages of incorporation • Income-splitting to reduce taxes by making your spouse or adult children shareholders – dividends will be taxed in their hands – or employing them as long as the remuneration is reasonable for the work performed. • Deferring certain expenses. For example, you can report employee bonuses for tax purposes before year-end but actually pay out the bonus money after year-end. • Leaving assets in the corporation where they will continue to grow on a tax-deferred basis until you choose the withdraw them. • Creating a registered pension plan and tax-deductible group health and life insurance plan

MANAGING Your FARM Money HOBBY for you and your employees (which could include family members). • Choosing a fiscal year spanning any 12-month period. Select a fiscal year that coincides with business or cash flow peaks or when corporate expenses are higher (potentially reducing your tax bite). Incorporating a business comes with costs – from initial setup and legal costs to ongoing requirements for tax returns and corporate resolutions – and other legal requirements. But if you think incorporation may be right for you, speak with your legal and tax advisor and professional advisor before you do.
