Keremeos welcomes the Christmas season By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Keremeos residents showed their true community spirit Friday evening with another highly successful launching of the Christmas season through the village’s annual light up parade. In spite of the almost instantaneous onslaught of winter weather earlier in the day, hundreds lined the streets as usual to watch the parade, which has apparently become a tradition in the community. Many were disppointed that the village’s street decorations
were not placed in time for this year’s event, something many cannot recall ever happening. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves nonetheless, in spite of that shortcoming. Throngs of residents also paid a visit to Victory Hall afterwards, to view and purchase a vast array of Christmas handicrafts, baking, homemade preserves and gift ideas. Tickets were selling briskly for a number of raffle baskets and free hot dogs, candy floss, popcorn and hot chocolate sprouted a number of line ups throughout the building. For the younger kids, a visit with Santa Claus rounded out the evening’s festive spirits.
It was anticipated to be a competitive contest for the chair’s position at the inaugural meeting of the regional district board of directors on December 6, but in the end it was an amicable challenge with predictable results. Oliver Director Ron Hovanes represented the only challenger against Penticton Director Dan Ashton for the chair’s position. There had been some speculation that the board would vote for a new chair, as Ashton’s future with the regional district is presently uncertain. Ashton told the board he would only miss a couple of meetings while campaigning for the Penticton MLA postion in next spring’s provincial election. In his speech, Ashton persuaded the other members of the board to vote for him by reminding them that the present board was successful because the directors worked together, adding that his regional perspective has made a difference. Oliver Director Hovanes made a spirited speech as well, but directors ultimately opted to allow Ashton to remain in the chair’s position, if only for a few more months. The vice chair’s position was also contested, as Electoral Area “E” (Naramata) Director Karla Kozakevich threw her hat into the ring against incumbent vice chair Mark Pendergraft (Electoral Area “A”). Pendergraft prevailed, winning the vice chair’s position for another year. Summerland Director Janice Perrino was also re-elected to her position as chair of the Okanagan - Similkameen Regional District Hospital Board, with Penticton Director Gary Litke also retaining the OSRHD vice chair position.

A smouldering foundation is all that is left of a Cawston residence that was destroyed by fire early Tuesday, December 11.
Keremeos volunteer firefighters responded to an early morning blaze in Cawston on Tuesday, December 11. The fire department was called to a residence on Beecroft Street in Cawston seconds after midnight to find a double wide modular home fully engulfed. Firefighters were forced to haul water from the nearest hydrant on Lowe Drive to supply a portable tank set up near the scene. Approximately 17 firefighters fought the stubborn fire into the daylight hours. A small mop up crew was still on scene at 8:30 a.m. A four man crew from Kaleden was also called in to assist Keremeos under the mutual aid agreement.
“It was a hot fire, tough to fight,” admitted Training Officer D’Arcy Bridgman as he and a tired, dirty crew broke down the porta tank and gathered up the gear. The firefighters had difficulty getting into the centre of building, hindered as well by a number of trees in close proximity that were also scorched in the blaze. An excavator was brought in to clear some of the rubble and allow firefighters more access to the building on Tuesday morning. Three occupants were believed to be in the building at the time. All escaped without injury.
Keremeos’ Christmas light not quite as bright this year Residents riled to discover community’s festive decorations not in place for traditional Christmas kick off By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
For the first time in as long as anyone can remember, the village’s Christmas season street decorations were not installed in time for the traditional Christmas kick off this year. “It takes three groups coming together,” said Chief Administrative Officer Laurie Taylor on the afternoon of December 7. A permit which had to be procured from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is needed to allow Fortis to work on Seventh Avenue to set up the lights in conjunction with village staff. “Fortis had a few emergencies and we had difficulty pinning down an installation date,” Taylor said, “staff has been working to get the three groups together for several weeks now.” Taylor added that it was no single group’s fault, just unfortunate circumstances this year. She said the village is still hoping to get the decorations up before Christmas. A letter written by Similkameen Country President Joan McMurray, addressed to the village was also distributed to members of the business community just prior to light up on Friday, in which the village’s performance was questioned, further noting that the light up event involved just about every local group in the region. “Our application (for the parade) was made November 12, McMurray wrote,

Friday, December 7 brought winter like conditions to the Similkameen. A sudden, short lived but intense snowstorm late in the morning resulted in several vehicles ending up in the ditch between Twin Lakes and Hedley. Keremeos RCMP reported responding to three accidents over the weekend. Driving conditions were also bad Friday evening and on Sunday morning in the Lower Similkameen. Snowflurries are in the forecast for the next few days.
CORNER
Join the annual Cawston Christmas bird count Event takes place at 8 a.m., December 30 Contributed by Lee McFadyen The Christmas Bird Count (CBC) was started in 1900 by Frank Chapman, ornithologist and officer of the then new Audubon Society. The count originated as a protest against the Christmas side hunt. It was a “side” hunt because folks would gather, form groups and take sides to see which group could shoot the widest variety of wildlife, furred or feathered, at Christmas. Concurrently, observers and scientists were becoming concerned about declining bird populations and the CBC provided an alternative activity which reduced the annual slaughter. Fortu-
nately, the signing of the Lacey Act in 1900 and the Migratory Bird Treaty in 1918 ended the “side” hunt. Currently, habitat loss, mostly from various human activities, greatly contributes to declining bird numbers. Birds enrich our lives and are important to the nature of things; being voracious feeders, particularly during the nesting season, they help control insects, weed seeds and rodents, many of which are pests in agricultural crops. Yes, sometimes they eat a bit of fruit too, but this is mitigated by their beneficial habits and many species do not touch fruit. If you are interested in birds join us on December 30 to spot and count the birds which winter in the Lower Similkameen. Inexperienced people will be pared with experienced birders; this is an excellent opportunity to learn
to better identify birds, get outside on a winter day and enjoy the beautiful Similkameen while contributing important information to the study of bird populations. Local CBC’s occur around Princeton, Hedley/Apex, Penticton, Vaseux Lake, Oliver-Osoyoos, Bridesville, and in many other communities throughout North America. The information gathered is documented and assists in tracking the status of birds across the continent and around the world. Upon completion we gather, enjoy a pot luck supper, share interesting happenings and report our count. To find out were we meet call Lee McFadyen at: 250- 499- 5404 Email: mariposaorgf@hotmail.com For more information on Bird Studies Canada visit: www.bsc-eoc.org/

Village awards core services review contract By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Joan McMurray presented Keremeos Village Council with an update on the Similkameen Valley Planning Society’s Tourism Advisory Council’s tourism strategy at the December 3 regular meeting of council. McMurray offered council a look at the group’s logo concept to date, in addition to providing views of TAC’s website pages. Council approved a written request from the Christmas Hamper Fund to use the Victory Hall to prepare and package Christmas hampers on December 19 and 20. Council agreed to provide up to $515 in assistance from the Presentations, Awards and Donations account. Council received a letter from the Ministry of Social Development regarding the benefit rate for persons with disabilities. The village will be picking up the costs to send council members to three conventions next year. Mayor Bauer, and Councillors Arlow and Thielmann are scheduled to attend the following conventions (at an estimated total cost of $10,200): SILGA (Southern Interior Local Government Association) - Mayor Bauer and Councillor Arlow, at an estimated cost of $1,170 per attendee. FCM (Federation of Canadian Municipal-
ities) - Councillor Thielmann, at an estimated cost of $2,140 per attendee. UBCM (Union of BC Municipalities) Mayor Bauer and Councillor Thielmann, at an estimated cost of $2,860 per attendee. A recommendation coming out of an in camera session on November 26 was carried by council, in which Diehl Management Services was awarded the contract to perform an organizational structure and salary review on the Village of Keremeos, at a cost of $6,790. The report will be due by February 18 of 2013. Chief Administrative Officer Laurie Taylor provided a report pertaining to Keremeos Irrigation District’s water reservoir project, which council received for information. Council also received a report pertaining to the Election Procedure Bylaw for information, prior to giving first, second and third readings to the Election Procedure Bylaw itself. New business for council included appointments of council members as acting mayors for 2013. Council also approved next year’s regular meeting dates in addition to approving council’s committee / liason reports. In separate appointments, Mayor Bauer was once again named as the village’s representative on the regional district board, and Councillor Thielamann was re-appointed as Okanagan Regional Library representative for the village.

Editorial
Christmas Light Up is a community building event As this year’s Christmas Light Up festivities in Keremeos approached, it appeared as though they would take place under comparatively balmy conditions, given the early winter weather we have been experiencing. Then the day arrived - and with it, so did the sudden onslaught of winter weather. The appearance of snow on the ground couldn’t have been more timely for the celebration, although we could have done without the colder weather. That failed to dampen the enthusiasm of hundreds who lined Seventh Avenue at 5:30 to witness a fine parade, in addition to acknowledging the start of the Christmas season in the village with their neighbours. Volunteers who assembled this year’s event are to be congratulated for facing a number of unusual challenges prior to the parade. The fact that everything turned out so well is a testament to their dedication and perseverance. Declining participation and bureaucracy notwithstanding, these citizens continue to see the value in events like Christmas Light up, and play a big role in helping the village maintain a sense of community. When the community responds by participating, everybody wins - and we saw a perfect example of that in Keremeos last Friday evening.

Taxpayer-government trust ebbing away By Jordan Bateman out. The next, a governCanadian Taxpayers Federation ment lawyer admits to finding them. One week, government “You can’t put feathers on a dog and call it a is so close to announcing chicken,” TV’s Dr. Phil once a $40 million B.C. Place opined. Premier Christy naming deal with Telus that Clark and Finance Minister the company has gone out Mike de Jong would do well and ordered signage. The to remember that advice as next, government cancels they prepare what could the deal. One week, taxpayers be their government’s final are promised they will get budget. In recent months, we’ve MLA expense receipts seen several dogs running posted online. The next, around with feathers stuck the B.C. Liberals and NDP on them while pretending scrap that plan and post lump sums with no details to cluck. One week, there’s a hir- instead. On budget day, the defiing freeze in the provincial government. The next, cit was announced at $968 three new staffers show up million. At the first quarterly report announcement in the premier’s office. One week, there’s belt- several months later, it baltightening and austerity looned to $1.14 billion. And being preached. The next, three months after that, at the advertising budget is the second quarterly report, revealed to have swelled to it’s up to $1.47 billion. One week, we hear $64 million over the two years since the new premier from the Premier that evtook over – double what the ery $10,000 matters when it comes to balancing the old boss spent. One week, no itemized budget. The next, we see her bills can be found for the government plans to spend controversial $6 million $1.5 million for Family Day Dave Basi-Bob Virk pay- parties, timed just three
months before the election. One year, we hear from the government about our low tax burden. The next, the former premier’s chief of staff talks candidly about how government is “raising fees, licenses, premiums, penalties, levies, utility rates, tolls and other hidden forms of taxes,” and “deferring tax burdens to future generations through debt, deferral accounts and public-private partnerships.” One year, we hear how government’s Pacific Carbon Trust will “foster economic growth from new opportunities… [by attracting] offset purchases from private citizens, companies and other governments alike.” Four years later, we see the Trust sells 99.7 per cent of its carbon credits by forcing hospitals, schools and other taxpayer-funded organizations to buy them. Trust must be the cornerstone of the relationship between a government and its taxpayers. Every year, we hand over our hard-earned money – a bank account
worth $42 billion – to our politicians. We expect them to run our affairs professionally and efficiently and to keep us well-informed on their plans. When that trust erodes, it’s very difficult for government to earn it back. But it can be done, if Clark and de Jong are willing to change their behaviour. Balance the budget next year with conservative revenue estimates. Scrap the Pacific Carbon Trust. Beg Telus to take the naming rights to B.C. Place Stadium. Release all expense receipts – and the details the Auditor General wants on Basi-Virk. Cancel the Family Day parties, the big ad buys and have a real hiring freeze. Make the Medical Services Premium health care tax fair – or scrap it all together. B.C. taxpayers are six months away from rendering an electoral verdict on this government’s performance. The chickens – or at least the dogs dressed up like chickens – are about to come home to roost.

Former dispatcher comments on communications study To the Editor: Communications Study Report Card I was pleased to finally see that a communications study on the RDOS fire/radio system has been completed, though I feel that it was a year or two overdue. Had the study been done while Penticton dispatch was still in operational mode, the consultants would’ve seen an entirely different way of doing things. They didn’t (as far as I read in the report) include how things were done before in comparison to how Kelowna will now do them. A bit of history is required to explain things fully. In 1990 when the system was established, Penticton had a radio link direct to a solar powered site on Apex mountain (not Beaconsfield). This site was used for a couple of years but during the winters it became obvious that a powered site was required due to lack of charging by the solar panels. The decision was made to move to the RCMP AC powered site on Beaconsfield Mountain (what most people would call the ski hill). This site, being further north and slightly lower than Apex proved to be difficult for some of the southern fire departments such as Osoyoos and Oliver to access, and a second site was established for linking on Mt. Kobau just south of Oliver. The Penticton signal was then changed to first access Mt. Kobau, then the link went to Beaconsfield to service the western departments. At this time, it was suggested by two of our dispatchers (in charge of Communications) in Penticton (myself included) that the sites be “split” to give more flexibiltiy to dispatching and this would allow multiple departments to be accessed at the same time. The RDOS fire chiefs decided against this proposal as they preferred a large “party line” link. In some ways their reasoning made sense, should mutual aid be needed but it also prevented more than one dept at a time from using the link. It could have been very easily split by just obtaining a couple of additional radios and channels. Penticton dispatch had the console to allow such additions, even at that time. Now, the Planetworks Consultants are suggesting splitting this system but are also suggesting that Okanagan Mountain be used to do so. Had the consultants inquired, they would’ve seen that this isn’t necessary at all; at least not from the Penticton area. The firehall in Penticton does not have to see the mountain top site; a lot of the RDOS linked departments don’t either. Radio signals bounce well and we proved that over many years; the same as you cell phone doesn’t need to see the cell sites. Even after the Mt. Kobau site was established, we still maintained another radio that could and did on occasion get used to access Beaconsfield site directly (if Mt. Kobau went down). Total cost for that setup (owned by Penticton) was approximately $200 and it worked very well. These consultants have stated that a priority should be to establish radio links from Kelowna; using Okanagan
Mountain. This will not come without substantial cost and would have been completely unnecessary had dispatch remained in Penticton. We could’ve done all of the suggested splitting of the system at minimal costs. I have worked in radio communications for over 30 years; 20 years as a dispatcher in charge of communications and spent countless days on mountain tops and built repeater systems; so I think that I can speak with some confidence. I have also been to almost every RDOS radio site in the system. I also checked with my former mentor, a dispatcher and radio guru who taught me a great deal about commecial radio over the years, just to confirm the facts. The RCMP and EHS as far as I know, for the most part, use Telus hardlines to get to a lot of their repeater sites. Had this been done with the Kelowna links, rather than utilize internet lines, I would bet that the consultants would’ve given a different and more favourable report. Hard lines are used all over the provinces for just such purposes but trying to use the cheaper internet lines through a third party is not up to emergency service standards, unless one has a very good backup system. The backup system that is in place in most RDOS fire departments are 20 second long, one-way paging devices; no two-way conversation can take place. I’ve heard folks say that cell phones could be relied on as a backup; that is nonsense as they are the very first devices to go down during any major emergency. The consultants report called the present system a “series of hops”; quite an accurate description. When dispatch was in Penticton, signals went directly to Summerland and directly to the RDOS mountain top repeater sites and local RDOS departments. Whoever decided to run the internet lines through the school board system seemingly didn’t understand that it could’ve been done in a simpler and cheaper manner. It would’ve made far more sense to go directly from Kelowna to Summerland via Telus hardline (not cheap internet lines through a third party) and the same type of Telus lines direct to the Penticton fire department repeater site. Adding more radios at the school board site just added another hop; another point of failure and more unnecessary expense, in my opinion. The phase two in the report suggests upgrading the Penticton area. Penticton has kept up pretty well over the years with equipment upgrades. Perhaps they mean “bringing back” the several radio channels that were dropped when Kelowna took over? This was a serious degradation of service and since Penticton will be on the hook for 42 per cent of the entire upgrades in the RDOS, I think that our taxpayers deserve to at least see the levels of service that we once enjoyed when Penticton was dispatching, brought back. Allan C.L. Stark, (retired dispatcher), Penticton
Old Similkameen brand wasn’t broken - please don’t fix To the Editor: I’ve heard the TAC committee has decided to change the Similkameen brand. For some years our society and others have been using the carefully researched and mutually agreed to SVPS brand to jointly promote the essences and entities of our valley. Resources were assigned to the project by all provincial and first nation authorities of the valley. Stationary and signage was financed and changed to reflect the new co-
operative philosophy. The political strength it created within the board of directors of the RDOS gave the Similkameen valley more influence in crucial budget and policy decisions. The cost of a brand change will negatively affect our society, and the municipality of Keremeos and all others who have supported the concept brand marketing. We will need to change stationary and signage and notify our provincial, federal, international and other contacts of the change. continued on page 17

A safe holiday is a happy holiday Photos by Steve Arstad
Make safety a priority this holiday season with these simple tips: • Never kick or hit your meter if ice builds up. Call us for assistance at 1-888-224-2710. • After a snowfall, brush snow away from your meters by hand and clear a path for the safety of our meter readers. • Around your fireplace, consider using a hearth safety gate to help protect small children from the heated glass. For more winter safety tips, visit fortisbc.com/safety.

Recycling at its best:
Richard Schmidt built this steam engine from scratch, utilizing wheels from a push lawn mower for the front wheels, and an air tank from an old truck for the body. The back wheels came from an old threshing machine, and the flywheel on the motor is from an old Singer sewing machine. The steam engine runs the whistle even blows to start the day and it blows once again when the day is done! At the moment, the engine runs on compressed air rather than steam. It can be seen at 1218 Sykes Crescent. Richard will be happy to start it up so you can hear her run.

Holidays can be hazardous to your pets The holidays are a time for festive decorations and special treats, but some of these seasonal items can be hazardous for your pets. By Lori Chortyk Paw Prints Just ask Agnes. Last year, the six-year-old Old English sheepdog underwent emergency surgery to recover approximately 20 feet of sharp wire tinsel from her stomach! To help ensure your pet has a safe and happy holiday, the BC SPCA offers the following reminders: No Bones Please: Avoid giving bones to your dogs or cats, particularly turkey bones. Poultry bones easily splinter and can cause serious injury, while bone fragments can cause intestinal blockages or lacerations;
Healthy Treats: Chocolate and other sweets should not be given to animals. Chocolate contains theobromine, a chemical that can be deadly to cats and dogs, though not harmful to humans. The best thing you can do for your pets over the holidays is to keep them on their regular diet. Look for special animal treats instead of giving your animals cookies or sweets meant for people; Poisonous Plants: Many popular holiday plants are poisonous to animals including mistletoe, holly, ornamental pepper and Christmas rose. Remember to keep these plants out of reach of pets - especially birds. Poinsettias are not poisonous to pets or people. This has been a long-standing rumour perpetuated for decades. Having said this, some pets who have a sensitivity to the latex contained in the plant may get diarrhea or even vomit if they consume parts of a poinsettia; Avoid Tinsel: If you have a
Christmas tree and pets, you have a recipe for trouble. First, make sure the tree is well secured. Try to place decorations above paw height and use string to hang the bulbs instead of hooks, which are easily dislodged. If possible, use nonbreakable ornaments. Avoid using tinsel or angel hair. Cats and dogs will ingest both, which can cause intestinal problems. Cords for lights should be made inaccessible to pets - especially from chewing puppies and exploring kittens. Keep in mind that the chemicals added to the water reservoir of your Christmas tree to keep your tree living longer won’t do the same for your pet. The chemicals are toxic to animals, so keep the reservoir covered; Choking Hazards in Toys: Avoid purchasing pet toys with small or soft pieces that can be chewed and swallowed. Nylon bones tend to splinter less than plastic ones. Be sure to inspect pet toys regularly and discard deteriorating ones.

Regional Growth Strategy decision revisited once more by RDOS board By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
The regional district board wrestled once again with the recent Regional Growth Strategy decision involving a proposed development on Vaseaux Lake. The development, which included 12 dwelling units along the shore of the lake as well as a vineyard, was presented to the board to be deemed inconsistent with the Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) at a previous board meeting. The board disagreed with the staff assessment, allowing the development to proceed through the normal approval process. Chair Dan Ashton brought the matter back to the board for reconsideration on December 6, after Oliver rural Director Allan

SIMILKAMEEN CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP Pastor: Don Bodden 250-499-6513
Patton suggested that board directors were not aware of the full content of the RGS, and that time should be allowed for them to read the document completely in order to make a fully informed decision. A cautious approach to advancing the motion took place to ensure that rules and points of order were being followed. If the motion to reconsider was approved, the motion would automatically come back to the table without a mover or seconder. It turned out that the majority of directors remained unswayed by the suggestion that they lacked knowledge of the RGS, however, as the vote to reconsider fell, seven opposed to six in favour.

Keremeos council updated on reservoir project Reservoir referendum slated for April 27 By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Keremeos Village Council needs to move ahead with the village’s loan application for the proposed reservoir, council was informed at the regular meeting on December 3. In a staff report, it was explained that the Village of Keremeos may borrow money for a capital project for a maximum term of 30 years, as decreed by the Community Charter. The money must be authorized by bylaw as well as having the approval of the electorate through the Alternate Approval Process or by referendum. Because this type of funding can only be done by a regional district through the Municipal Financing Authority on behalf of the municipality, Keremeos council must deal with the financing details soon in order to make the loan request to the province one month prior to the semi annual deadlines of February 22 and August 15 of 2013, said the staff report. Council’s timeline to make
the August 15 deadline involve the following dates: 1. Loan authorization must be given three readings by council by February 5, 2013. 2. The Village of Keremeos will be seeking taxpayer approval through referendum prior to the application, with a referendum date set for April 27 , 2013. 3. A successful referendum vote will see the bylaw adopted by May 7, 2013. 4. RDOS must submit application to the Municipal Finance Authority by August 15, 2013. Updated figures for the construction of the proposed 2,000 cubic metre reservoir, including earthworks, base preparation, fencing and gates, valve chamber and piping is now estimated at 1,240,000 dollars. The village has received approval for a $300,000 grant, leaving a borrowed requirement of $940,000. (The Keremeos Irrigation District has set aside $300,000 in a reserve fund to build irrigation related infrastructure (piping, etc.) to and from the reservoir. It is further estimated that annual principal and interest payment on that amount will be $52,480.

Fred Wilcox donates his time and effort to help keep the sidewalk in front of the Bargain Centre clear of snow in the winter. He was dismayed to find his efforts on the weekend negated by Argo Road Maintenance when their snow removal on the street transferred the snow to the sidewalk Wilcox had just cleaned off. “They don’t have to do that,” he said to the Review, noting that if the plow slowed down a little, they wouldn’t be throwing the snow all over the sidewalk. Wilcox took his concerns to the village office.

Community Foundation of the South Okanagan announces 2013 Grants Cycle The Community Foundation of the South Okanagan is pleased to announce the launch of the 2013 Granting Cycle, which officially began on December 3, 2012 and closes on February 8, 2013. In 2012, the Community Foundation disbursed more than $190,000 to chari-
agan Similkameen with the remainder of grants being awarded in Penticton. These grants were paid from investment earnings on more than six million dollars in endowment funds. In 2012, grants were paid out to three different areas of need in the Similkameen: $6,300 - Arts & Culture
$950 - Scholarships $6,700 - Community Services Organizations that are registered as a Canadian charity under the Federal Income Tax Act are eligible to apply to the Foundation for grants. Grants cannot be made to individuals. Funding guidelines can be obtained by contacting the
Foundation’s office at 493-9311 or by visiting our website: www.cfso.net. The Community Foundation of the South Okanagan has served our region for 21 years, working with donors to create legacies in the form of permanent endowment funds. Grants are distributed from income earned, preserving the capital to ensure
a perpetual stream of funding. For further information, please call: Aaron McRann Executive Direct o r, C o m m u n i t y Foundation of the South Okanagan. Phone/Fax: 250-493-9311; cell: 250-488-0036 info@cfso.net | www.cfso.net
Fruit grower president decides not to run BC Fruit Growers Ass’n
Kirpal Boparai, President of the BC Fruit Growers’ Association, announced last week that he is not running for reelection. The President, as well as the rest of the eight member BCFGA Executive, is elected at the Annual Convention of the association held every January. He will step down to-
day and Jeet Dukhia, Vice President, will preside until a successor is elected at the January 19th BCFGA Annual Convention. Boparai won the 2012 election in a competition that was triggered when the incumbent President stepped down as leader of the BCFGA. Boparai campaigned on taking a more aggressive
approach with government and other industry players. “I think that something had to be done differently from before, and my main concern is that the apple producers get back on their feet after many years of dismal returns for their efforts. I took the message to government and we finalized the Replant Funding for 2013. I
took the message to the cooperative packing house and there has recently been a new direction established there. I have faith that the industry can move forward and work together.” “I came to make change. Sometimes my aggressive approach was not popular, but it needed to be done. This has taken a toll on me, and more important-
ly my family, as I became a target for one newspaper reporter. No other reporter took such a tenacious approach, but the personal damage has been done,” said Boparai in response to a string of recent articles by reporter J.P. Squire of the Kelowna Daily Courier. The BCFGA Bylaws call for the VicePresident to succeed the President, when
REMEMBER TO ENTER FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A TURKEY!*
the President vacates the position. Dukhia succeeds Boparai as President, effective immediately. “I hope to stabilize the Association after a period of turbulence and uncertainty in the industry. I will work closely with the Executive of our Association and the directors of the other organizations to restore good communication,” Dukhia stated.

Dialog continues between Olalla residents To the Editor: Hello Tom Thank you so much for responding to my invitation to dialog. Your reply reinforces my belief that we who have lost the energy to perform the physical necessities of maintaining our communities still have a contribution that can lighten the burden of that task. We seem to have been chosen to perform the pantomime of the struggle for understanding the reason for existence. I am compelled to exclaim wow and with timid humility how? The arena of our joust has been chosen by the category of our ordnances. Its portals are engraved with an agenda that is; freedom of expression; its title Letters to the Editor. Our colors should be blue or yellow for when they mix they become the promised renewal in spring. Our steeds will be the foundation of our moral principles. The
thrust of our lance we be the English language, our armor will be the forgiveness of the assembled spectators that will only attend if their intellect is challenge to judge the value of the joust You and I are old warriors that have learned to respect and honor our rivals; we can battle and spare no mercy but still respect the concepts that we challenge. This is the capacity that we should encourage and foster in our descendants for they need to protect the genetic pool of our predatory species. Our self-destruct process has begun and we don’t know how many chimes there are in the last chapter. So let them be loud proud and happy. There is no error in the bricks you have forged they are well constructed and include fine principles, but the mortar that holds them together is weak for it lacks the vital element of forgiveness that allows other bricks

an apparent brusqueness - all it takes is showing them some positive attitude and kindness. A coalescing of positive attitude and kindness in this gruff but amazing community has attracted the Friends of Olalla. A group of characters that all have in common their care and concern for this beautiful town in the Similkameen Valley. In the few short months that this group of landscaping and history chasing troubadours has been meeting, an alchemy of sorts has been transforming the people of this community. Random acts of beauty are occurring alongside acts of kindness. Order is being restored to previously cluttered areas along Highway 3A and on Main Street. Landscaping efforts are clearly underway at both ends of Olalla. And some have found a new home in more comfortable and healthier conditions. It takes courage to face an ornery mountain goat. It takes greater courage to change. Kudos to all the people of Olalla who are stepping up to the plate of positive change! Just keep smiling and moving forward bit by bit, and soon you’ll be sailing along those beautiful mountain highways. Phyllis Straub, Olalla, resident and Friend of Olalla

To the Editor: Positive Alchemy The wave that swept me from Toronto has landed me in what I happily consider to be the most beautiful place on the planet Olalla! The sweeping vista of rugged mountains etched with the signature Z trails, bluer than blue skies, fabulous greenery energized by the ubiquitous sage, is paradisiacal to this city born and bred girl. I adore the unique quail chatter and chortle as herds of these weird but cute little bundles of feathers endlessly hunt, peck, and suddenly disperse with a jarring flurry of wings; and I love falling asleep at night to the forlorn but somehow alluring howl of coyotes. And how utterly delighted I am to find that the snow brings the most amazing creatures of all down from the mountaintops to the highway - mountain goats! I recently saw seventeen of them at the north end of Olalla, some had stopped motorists as if asking for toll money! In Olalla I have met some of the most beautiful people on this planet, who will actually stop, say hello and ask how you are today. A few will even give you a heartfelt hug. And some who I would call interesting characters, have teddy-bear hearts hidden under

Who no longer look or sound the same for they have sat at the table outnumbered and frustrated by the agenda they did not write. Got to go - the manager of the arena promised only 300 words and I’m over the top. I’ll leave with a quote from Joe nobody’s unfinished book: “If one keeps communicating something accidentally worthwhile is bound to slip out.” Bye for now, Joe Littlefield, Olalla

OBITUARY LEVAN
KAAALY:
May 8, 1955 - Nov 29, 2012. It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Kaaaly Levan—dear wife, mother, daughter and friend—of Cawston BC at the age of 57 years. Kaaaly passed peacefully at Orchard Haven Care Home in Keremeos BC on November 29 2012 with her loving husband of 34 years, James Duperron, by her side. Her battle with cancer was long and arduous and her ¿ght was courageous. Kaaaly was predeceased by her brother Randy and father Frank Golinowsky both formerly of Vegreville Alberta. Left to mourn her memory and cherish her light are her husband James Duperron; her son Dillon Levan-Duperron of Cawston, BC; her mother Laura Golinowsky of Kelowna, BC ; many brothers and sisters in-law; other relatives in Alberta and British Columbia; and a long list of loyal friends, neighbors, farmer’s market customers and health care providers. She touched us all deeply with her open hearted-spirit and strong will. During spring blossom time 2013 in Cawston we will gather for a Celebration of Life for our beloved Kaaaly. At this time we will chronicle and celebrate her life and many accomplishments among family and friends. A gathering and burial of her ashes will take place in Vegreville Alberta after the Cawston BC Celebration of Life. Dates and details of these occasions will be announced at a later date. Her family and close friends would like to thank all of the many wonderful souls who assisted and lovingly supported Kaaaly during her journey; as she so aptly described it. In lieu of Àowers a donation in her memory for the further development of the Cawston BC Community Hall will be graciously accepted, c/o CIBC in Keremeos (details how to donate online and in person). Relatives and friends can send online condolences and share comments, pictures or memories care of www.HansonsFuneral.com

Teaching kids about money – start early
PLEASE NOTICE:
Kids today gain levels of sophistication and tech savviness at earlier ages than ever before. But this is a complex world and, more than ever, parents have a key role in making sure their children are equipped to deal with every complexity – and developing strong money management skills should be among the most important for helping your kids achieve their life goals, lead a better life and help others. New research1 reveals that Canadian parents are very proactive when it comes to teaching their children about personal finance – with 82% of parents frequently or sometimes having conversations with their kids about good money habits. It’s important to start dollars and sense talks early so here are some age-related tips to get you going. 6-12 years Start with a ‘fun’ bank they can fill with coins; eventually graduate to a ‘real’ bank account and an allowance tied to certain tasks to learn responsibility. A fixed amount allowance is best because it teaches that there are serious choices to be made about spending and saving. Deposit at least 10% of their allowance in a bank account and explain how interest makes their money grow. Board games like Monopoly and interactive websites such as the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education are also great money education tools.

patterns and best use of purchasing power. More tips Involve you kids in family financial discussions. Show how your family budget must balance expenses and income. You can even start playing ‘money games’ with your kids as young as two years old. Teaching kids about money is just plain smart.

12-16 years Develop a simple budget that includes keeping tax receipts and statements to keep track of their money. A charitable giving component will show them how their money can have a positive impact on the community. Give an allowance ‘bonus’ for special work with the requirement that the extra money must be invested. Introduce the concepts of ‘compounding’ and tax-saving through such long-term investments as a RRSP eligible investment. 16-18 years Have each child file a tax return as soon as they have a job that results in a T4. It’ll give them a more ‘personal view of taxes and build up future contribution RRSP room. Co-sign for a low-limit credit card and carefully monitor its use. Stress the importance of making monthly credit card payments to maintain a good credit rating and avoid high interest rates or late fees. Use credit card statements to discuss spending
