Village and union employees agree to new collective agreement Village of Kermeos

Members of Lower Similkameen youth organizations participate in the wreath laying ceremony at Keremeos’ Remembrance Day services on November 11 in Memorial Park.
Keremeos village staff ratified a new collective agreement between CUPE Local 608 and the village on Monday, November 5. The two year agreement, from January 1, 2013 to December 31 2014 includes wage increases of 1.5 per cent and two per cent respectively per year, as well as changes in contract language that provides “greater clarification and certainty for both the village and the union moving forward.” The CUPE Bargaining Committee and Village of Keremeos started bargaining on November 5 and signed a Memorandum of Agreement on the contract the same day. The deal was formally ratified by CUPE members later that day by a vote of 100 per cent and council ratified the deal following the regular meeting of council on November 5.
Strong turnout for Lower Similkameen Remembrance Day services By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
A
large crowd gathered in Keremeos’ Memorial Park on Sunday, November 11 to pay their respects to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice as the community observed Remembrance Day. Several hundred - including a large complement of youth - braved sub zero temperatures for this year’s ceremonies, which took place against the background
of a partially snow dusted K Mountain. Similkameen Elementary Secondary School student Haley Porter led the audience with a rendition of “O Canada,” followed by Legion Chaplain Jason Wiebe leading prayers. Sidney Wigglesworth provided trumpet solos for The Last Post, while SESS student Caroline Brunton read the Armistice Day poem. Patrick Buchanan piped the parade detail into the park in addition to piping Lament. Rae Langille and Wallace Reid also provided
Remembrance Day services to residents of Orchard Haven on Thursday, November 8. Jerry Orford and Mary Goguin, both residents of the facility, are veterans. Goguin still has her military uniform, in excellent shape after more than 60 years. Rather than being diminished by time, Remembrance Day ceremonies in Keremeos appear to be more relevant than ever. An unofficial survey of crowds attending the ceremonies over the past few years has seen an apparent increase both in overall numbers as well as youth attending.

Donna Austin photographed this scene on River Road last week. She writes: “It was a pleasure to watch a bit of the Old West on Tuesday, November 6, when a large herd of cattle were moved from their mountain summer grazing to their winter grounds. They were to be gathered at a ranch next to the rodeo grounds in Keremeos, and were driven down River Road at around 10:15 a.m. on Tuesday morning. I was able to take some photos as they passed by. I don’t have the names of the two riders at the head of the herd or the others at the rear of the herd except that the rider on the white horse with the oil slicker is Dwayne Trelenberg. It is such a joy to live in this wonderful valley where scenes like this occur as part of daily life. I would never want to live in any city again.”

“We have exercised restraint in these matters in the past,” explained Mayor Bauer, “ I don’t believe it’s necessary to limit the number of council that can potentially attend.” Council eliminated the mileage chart from the document in addition to requesting changes to council attendance sections and accommodation booking. Council approved a rental offer for the basement of Victory Hall. Ron Hovanes, a contractor to Community Living BC will rent the basement of the hall at a cost of $915.20 per month, including utilities except for telephone and internet. Council passed the council remuneration and expenses bylaw. The issue was discussed at the previous regular meeting, in which council opted to forgo any changes to their remuneration. Question period included further queries regarding the process followed in seeking a contractor to conduct the core review. Two members of the gallery expressed their agreement with council’s decision to take on a core service review. Council was also urged not to waste time in completing the Similkameen Valley Watershed Study, noting that the deadline for completion (to qualify for the gas tax grant funding of $500,000) was 2015. A question asked by a village staff employee asked council if they had considered doing an internal review. “We feel an external review is necessary to be credible to taxpayers,” responded Mayor Bauer. “Internal reviews are supposed to be an ongoing process. This is the first time this has been done in Keremeos, but it is not unusual,” he added, noting that Keremeos and Princeton were the only regional district municipalities who have yet to conduct one.

Apolgy:
In last weeks’ edition of the Review, an error was made regarding Remembrance Day ceremonies in Okanagan Falls. It was mistakenly printed that Lou Sharkey would be performing The Last Post, as has been the case for so many years. While with us in spirit, Lou passed away earlier this year, but unfortunately the ceremony’s agenda error went undetected. The Review regrets this error and apologizes for any further anguish caused to Legion members and family of Lou’s.

Starling control program update BC Grapegrowers Association The Okanagan Similkameen Starling Control Program is running along smoothly under the capable hands of four trappers -- Joanne Bray and Doug Cowe in the South Okanagan, Don Marshall in Central Okanagan and Chris Blythe in the North Okanagan. From January 1 to September 30, a total of approximately 35,000 birds have been captured. This is down from the previous year’s total for the same period - hopefully an indication that populations are down from last year. The BCGA Board of Directors and the Program’s Management Committee has been working with Dr. Jeff Curtis at UBCOkanagan to continue the research started by Jessi Neuhauser to determine the origins of starlings that make up the OkanaganSimilkameen populations and to better understand the movements and population
dynamics locally to evaluate trapping effectiveness. It is anticipated that the research program will be approved shortly with funding through the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). Thank you to all of the growers in the Okanagan Similkameen who have donated funds into the 2012 trapping program. The total received for this year’s work to date is $18,405.00. If you haven’t yet made your donation for this year, it’s not too late to help with the fall and winter trapping. You can donate online at www.grapegrowers.bc.ca or put a cheque in the mail to 451 Atwood Road, Grand Forks, BC, V0H 1H9 - a receipt will be issued. If you would prefer to receive an invoice, send an e-mail with that request indicating how many planted acres you have and the amount you wish to contribute ($10/ planted acre is the recommended amount).

Community plays key role in solid waste planning RDOS press release The Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen has a new solid waste management vision - one built by the RDOS community itself. More than 20 volunteers representing communities and businesses from across the RDOS were instrumental in overseeing the development of the Regional Solid Waste Management Plan, which focuses on reducing organic waste, increasing recycling levels at multi-family residences and workplaces and reclaiming construction materials. “The actions in this plan could reduce to 30 per cent the amount of refuse generated that ends up in our landfills,” said Board chair Dan Ashton. “The remainder will be diverted to recycling facilities that will allow us to effectively reduce, reuse and recycle.” The plan was adopted by the regional board earlier this month. The collaborative approach employed by the RDOS to develop the plan included establishing a Public Advisory Committee to provide for general community input and a Technical Advisory Committee with staff representatives from RDOS member communities, First Nations, provincial ministries
and the Waste Management Industry. A series of recycling, composting, waste to energy and landfilling workshops were held to look for cost-effective and locally viable options. Surveys showed strong public support for moving the plan forward. The process undertaken reflects the regional district’s commitment to transparent government and community involvement. The six-year plan includes: • expanding demolition and construction waste recycling options; • ensuring recycling at all multi-family, industrial, commercial and institutional buildings; • implementing curbside food waste collection. “About 40 per cent of our landfill waste is organic,” said Doug French, manager of the regional district’s Public Works department. “Another 12 per cent is plastic and 10 per cent paper. You can understand how improved recycling and composting can help reduce the amount of garbage ending up in our landfill sites.” The plan is consistent with the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen’s commitment to building and sustaining an environmentally responsible community.

An “art installation” was planted for community discussion after a community garden was vandalized in Keremeos recently.
Photo contributed
Vandalism sparks positive community effort Contributed by Joan Liddicoat Several months ago, a bench and plaque kindly donated by a local pharmacist and the village were installed along the walking trail near Seventh Street and Veterans Ave. Recognizing that the site (dedicated to my brother), was in need of a little attention, mother and I began to clean up the debris, trim the weeping willow tree and remove weeds. With informal approval from the village, we proceeded to plant a small garden of non-invasive, low water perennials. Mother would fill up buckets of water from the farm and transport it every day or so to tend to the garden. During the process, we gratefully received a lot of support and encouragement from diverse members of the community. Some hoped our actions would inspire others to do the same, others acknowledged our efforts and would pause for a rest while walking their dog along the trail. An RV owner offered to ensure the spot was kept tidy. A trucker carrying bees to Calgary offered a helping hand with heavy work. We received offers
of plants, potting soil and even an Eagle Feather. I looked forward to my evening phone calls home when my Mother would describe her latest encounter with a friend or kind stranger. Not only had this small garden generated conversations among strangers from all walks of life but also they took pride in taking care of it too. The act of planting a garden in honour of my brother has been healing and transformative for my parents. It was an invitation to friends and strangers to come, linger, and to contemplate. We are grateful that this tiny garden generated so much positive energy! However, not only did the Eagle Feather disappear but also, so did nine - ten plants. This was clearly a premeditated act. The anonymity and extent of the act was disturbing. After a few weeks, and with the full support of my parents, we decided to install an art installation called “Planting for Community Discussion”. It is unlikely we will ever know who is responsible for this act, but hopefully this letter and the public art project will cause the perpetrator to stop, reconsider and not repeat it in the future.
Tank in fire did not contain propane A structure fire in Keremeos that gutted a vacant residence on Second Avenue on October 31 did not contain a propane tank, as was originally reported. Investigation has revealed that the tank in question turned out to be a pressurized water tank, as shown in the centre of this photo of the burned out building. Photo by Steve Arstad

Editorial
Policy should be net zero At a regional district town hall meeting last year in Okangan Falls, a resident asked RDOS Finance Manager Warren Everton why the budget included an increase every year. “Why not zero per cent?”asked the resident, to which Everton basically answered that the increase was to cover the expected increase in costs of goods and services year to year. Such an action might be reasonable in a perfect world - however, these days, few private sector budgets - and increasingly at the provincial and federal levels fewer public budgets - can afford this type of accounting luxury. That’s why we think last week’s negotiations between the Village of Keremeos and its union staff strikes us as a bad deal. Negotiations and ratification took less than a day, and it appears to us that the union made out about as well as it could expect to, given today’s economic climate. We’re sure they are quite happy with the result of these so called “negotiations”. Wages and salaries account for 77 per cent of the village’s annual tax revenue. One and a half and two per cent over two years is going to add substantially to wage costs in the village - ask any retiree in the village if he/she will see similar increases in their pensions over that time period. Along with the province’s “net zero” policy to non-union positions, the current provincial mandate calls for wage increases to be financed by savings in other parts of unionized operations. The province is setting an example for municipalities to follow - so why aren’t B.C. municipalities embracing the province’s net zero wage mandate? That was a question recently posed by Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. Director Jordan Bateman to Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore and Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard. It’s a question we’re asking of Keremeos, too.

Balance the Budget, Kill the Carbon Tax Carbon tax is a failed policy that should be axed, while “wage creep” at the municipal level needs to be addressed, says taxpayers advocacy group By Jordan Bateman Canadian Taxpayers Federation The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) today presented its 201314 budget recommendations, titled Blueprint for a Balanced Budget, to the B.C. government’s Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services. The 28-page document, available at: taxpayer.com makes 14 recommendations to help the B.C. government keep its
promise to balance B.C.’s books next year. “Balancing the budget is vitally important,” said Jordan Bateman, B.C. Director of the CTF. “To ensure B.C.’s longterm economic viability, we have to quit living on borrowed money year after year. Balancing our books this year would give us an advantage over provinces and states competing with us for investment and jobs.” CTF recommendations include: Killing the carbon tax and Pacific Carbon Trust; Negotiating a better deal on Equalization; Reducing the power Crown corporations hold over possible competitors; and Launching a health care core services review. “Our plan can be boiled down to two simple statements: don’t spend more of our money and scrutinize every expenditure carefully—
even the usual sacred cows like health care,” said Bateman. “Failed policies like the carbon tax and Pacific Carbon Trust have done nothing but raise the cost of every good and service in this province.” Another area of concern is wage creep, which the government’s net zero bargaining philosophy has slowed at the provincial level, but which is continuing unabated municipally. The CTF recommends both a Compensation Equity Act, which would tie government salaries to private sector comparables, and including local governments in provincial bargaining mandates. “Net zero saved B.C. taxpayers $3 billion, but city halls failed to follow the province’s example and kept increasing their pay scales—and property taxes,” said Bateman. “The provincial government should consider including local government
in their bargaining mandates, as generous city hall settlements ratchet up pressure on senior governments to match.” For more information, please contact B.C. Director Jordan Bateman at 604-999-3319 (cell) or jbateman@taxpayer.com.

Action plan forum deals with ag workers’ issues To the Editor: Dear community friends, once again we are coming to the end of a wonderful season, considering all the weather changes that we experience. On behalf of all the migrant workers who come through the federal program between Mexico and Canada, I want to thank this wonderful community for your incredible support during our stay here in the Cawston and Keremeos areas. Many of us have taken advantage of the free English classes at the irrigation district building in Cawston and at the Elim Tabernacle church on top of the hill in Keremeos. Classes given by caring and loving people who went out of their way to always have the time, the lessons and the fellowship ready for us. We are very thankful for the many times that activities such as barbeques, soccer games, church services, and other very meaningful events were organized for us. We totally enjoyed these events after a long day at work, picking, pruning, thinning or packing etc… We will go back home now, overwhelmed by this support from the community and sincerely hope to return next year. We were able to meet so many wonderful people who picked us up for some event, others who cooked wonderful meals for us and oth-
ers who just came to have fellowship with us. I, Sandy Diaz-Hart want to sincerely thank all those who donated suitcases, clothing, shoes and boots, heaters and many other things that the workers needed. Even though it seemed to be a better season than last, there still are many areas where improvements are needed, not only for the worker but for the farmer also. That is why the Penticton Area Women Center is setting up a day on November 21, to have a forum to talk about issues affecting the agricultural industry. You are invited to participate by filling out the survey, whether you are a community person interested in this issue or a farmer who owns or works in an orchard, farm etc.Most workers have already filled their forms: you can find blank forms at the information centre in Keremeos. We encourage you to participate by filling the forms and by attending the forum. It will be an all day affair in Oliver at the Elks club. Once again, we thank you for your time, your large or small donation, food etc… It would be a long list if I was to name all the people who in one way or another participated in the worthwhile Latino ministry, but you know who you are. Sincerely thanks to you all. Sandy Diaz-Hart, Keremeos

Time to deal with bullying is now To the Editor: Why does it take a tragedy to get us to realize that bullying is an unacceptable behaviour? Bullying is by no means a new concept. Bullies have been roaming the earth for a very long time and will probably continue to do so. Unless, of course, we (those of us who don’t condone such behaviours) stand up and do something about it! So far in my lifetime I have seen fathers bully wives and children, parents bully children, employers bully employees. Professionals bully their clients and of course, children bullying other children. Is this what we are raising our children to do? To be bullies? Just because it is all around us doesn’t give any one of these the right to jump on the bully bandwagon! Bullying is not an acceptable form of behaviour and should not be treated as such.
As we wait for Christy Clark’s anti-bullying program to be put into our schools, should we not be doing something for our children now? Why wait? Bullying is going on now and it is now that we should be doing something about it. Yes, in my opinion bullying is happening right now at our school. SESS is not any different than schools all across Canada where bullying is problematic. The difference is that SESS is our school and our children’s school and it appears that it is up to us (those of us who want bullying to stop) to do something about it. Will it take another tragedy to get us to wake up and realize it is our responsibility to raise our children to be considerate, respectful, caring and empathetic and not a bully? I for one will be doing all I can to ensure my children grow up void of bullying behaviours - will you do the same? Linda Deschamps, Keremeos
Our “connectedness” doesn’t need to include violence To the Editor: Snow fell on us last night. I shovelled it early this morning. And as soon as I finished, it started snowing again! Mother Nature’s sense of humor. But it didn’t last long. That was the nice thing. Of course it was nothing compared to the storms on the east coast, especially in the U.S. A friend from there wrote to me: Icy floods. Power out for days. People without heat staying with friends, or in public buildings to warm up, cook, check email and charge cell phones. People bring food and water to neighbors with none. They huddle together. “But without TVs and computers”, he says, “we say we feel isolated. We wait for the power to come back on so that we can go back into our houses by ourselves and pretend to be independent again.” The point, of course, is that we’re not independent. And though we may be cut off from outside power from time to time – and it could and probably will happen to us too – we do have inside power: The kindness and concern of friends and neighbors, the snuggles of family members to keep each other warm, the good deeds done even to strangers in need or
by them to us when we are in need. That’s real power! It warms us in ways deeper even than our furnaces can. Don’t get me wrong. I like our furnace. And our electricity, and stove, and clean running water. But even more – yes, even more – I’m thankful for the power within us, and among us. We can turn on our inner powers of kindness and care and compassion at will, if we only will. Regardless of the weather outside, and even when Mother Nature is not in a cranky mood. Because our nature – human nature, at its best and as it is meant to be – can always generate and radiate light and warmth. We’re not isolated. We’re all and always connected, one way or another. This winter, when the weather outside can be frightful, let’s not let it be frightful for anyone in our own homes. Not for any wife or husband, mom or dad, and certainly not for any of our kids. The outside weather may at times be abusive, and even violent. But we don’t have to be. Ever. That’s the nice thing. Ron Shonk, The Proactive Violence Prevention Project

Looking at career choices? The trucking industry awaits Contributed Job seekers are in luck when it comes to the commercial road transportation industry in British Columbia. Trucking companies throughout B.C. require professional drivers, mechanics, dispatchers and operations staff right now, which means that job seekers with experience and/or training may find work within their preferred region. For those considering training prior to joining the workforce, demand for skilled workers in the industry is likely to grow – to 2020 and beyond. There are a number of reasons for this. For truck drivers, the industry is facing a North Americawide shortage because most are 45 years of age or older and nearing retirement (in fact, in Canada, according to a report by the Canada Trucking Human Resources Council, 58 percent of long-haul truck drivers fall in this age range). Similar shortages exist for other jobs, including diesel engine and heavy duty mechanics. Aside from worker shortages, economic growth in the Asia-Pacific Gateway is also driving demand for workers in transportation. This applies not only to companies in the Lower Mainland, but in other
regions as well, since the AsiaPacific “Gateway” is actually made up of an integrated supply chain of airports, seaports, rail and road connections, and border crossings, from Prince Rupert to Surrey, with links supplied by trucking. Today’s trucking industry is an exciting place to be. Equipment in many companies is state of the art, meaning increased comfort and ease for drivers and opportunities for mechanics to work with technologically advanced systems, keeping both their skills and interest engaged. Dispatch relies on sophisticated tracking and routing systems. Others on the operations side also use information technology of many kinds to deal with everything from licences and permits, to customer services, accounting, sales and marketing. And, people joining the industry have many career choices. Drivers, for example, may work close to home as pick-up and delivery or short-haul drivers. Those who like the idea of travelling across Canada or North America can become long-haul drivers for an employer or work as owner-operators. Drivers may haul consumer goods, fuel, logs, heavy-duty equipment, livestock – most of what we purchase or consume spent some time on the road with a commercial truck!
If you already have experience as a driver, mechanic or operations worker, most companies advertise jobs on their websites. Members of the BC Trucking Association from across the province may post jobs under Careers on www.bctrucking. com, and the provincial and federal governments maintain job sites at WorkBC (http://www.workbc. ca/Jobs/) and Working in Canada (http://www.workingincanada. gc.ca/ - choose to Explore Careers by Occupation, then by Region). Within your own community, it may also pay to approach a company you’d like to work for, drop off a résumé and inquire if and when they’ll be hiring. If you’d like to enter the industry but need training, there are also many avenues to explore. Although there is not a standard training course for professional drivers, there are numerous private schools throughout BC that offer programs. For information on transportation trades in BC, including mechanics and other technicians, visit transCDA (http://www.tcda.ca/home). And for information on trucking careers in general, see www.truckingcareers.ca. Keremeos and the Lower Similkameen depend on trucking. It may also offer the right career for you.

Facts regarding present state of KVR trail issues in Kaleden continue to elude residents By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Kaleden residents present at a town hall meeting at the community centre on November 7 prioritized the community’s trail issues as the number one community concern. Electoral Area “D” Director Tom Siddon asked for a show of hands as he went over a list of issues facing Kaleden. Residents prioritized them as follows: KVR trail 27 Deer and Wildlife 25 Sewer line extension 20 Highways and Roads 17 Water quality 9 Land use 9 Transit 5 Policing 3 Incorporation 1 Parks and Rec 1 There was nothing really new to report with respect to the complex situation on the community’s waterfront. Several residents expressed their frustration at attending a third meeting over the issue, only to have no resolution yet in sight. A letter written by Sickle Point owner Mel Reeves and mailed to members of the community apparently added more confusion to an already confusing issue. “What are the issues?” asked one resident in reference to Reeves letter. “They seem to be changing all the time - what are the facts?” The Ponderosa Point trail connection was also discussed by one resident who took umbrage with private property signs erected in the vicinity of the trail connection in order to prevent cars from parking in the area. Boundary-Similkameen MLA John Slater explained that “some properties got left off the map” in the early years of discussions regarding transfer of trail corridor from Marathon Realty to the province. “Time ran out, deals fell apart,” Slater said of several promises and intents made to guarantee trail accesss over non Crown land. “This is getting silly - what is the timeline for a solution? Some people don’t believe Reeve’s letter. There has been much talk of land swaps in exchange for access - why has there been no consultation of the community? I hope these negotiations last a long time,” said one resident to scattered applause. Last Wednesday’s meeting was less contentious than the previous two - possibly in part because the two property owners whose land holdings are subject to most of the trail issues were both present at the meeting. There was a noticeable toning down of blame and rhetoric regarding the part Mel Reeves and Debi McGinn have played in the process so far, although one resident chided both of them, commenting that they might have had the public more willing to work with them from the outset had they not cut down trees and bulldozed the landscape so early in the process. Both McGinn and Reeves took turns at the microphone, telling their side of the story. McGinn admitted that she understood the issues surrounding the property when she purchased it, noting that negotiations were supposed to be completed by May 1. “It’s been difficult dealing with the prov-
ince,” she said, “even to the point of finding 97 and we can’t get anyout what ministry to deal with.” McGinn thing done about Lakehill suggested that under her proposed land Avenue?” asked several swap, the province would come out ahead. residents. (Two petitions Mel Reeves was interupted several times at the entrance to Kaleden as he tried to explain his interpretation of Community Hall had history surrounding the disputed lakeshore been set up prior to the road to Sickle Point and access rights to the meeting to lobby for a property.

Residents also had an opportunity to critique the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure over a perceived need to re-engineer Lakehill Road.

Constellations - attempt to define the unknown?
I
n the library at our observatory we have a model of a chunk of space. The stars are various coloured balls hanging on strings, and everything is to scale. At one end of this model there is a little ball representing the Earth. If you look at the model from the Earth’s position you see the constellation of Orion, “The Hunter”, which we can see for real in the eastern sky these evenings. From any other direction the pattern is completely different.
The patterns of stars we have made into constellations are simply what we see from our position in space. The stars are far enough away for those constellations to look the same from anywhere in the Solar System, but from a planet orbiting another star the sky would look different. One other property of constellations is something anyone trying to learn them will have commented on; how could someone in our past have seen that object in that scattering of stars? Why do most constellations look nothing like what they are supposed to represent? Orion looks something like a man wearing a tunic, with a belt and a sword. However, Cygnus, “The Swan” looks like a big cross; Sagittarius, “The Archer” looks like a teapot; Hercules, the mythi-
cal hero looks like a big tombstone; Cassiopeia, “The Queen of Ethiopia”, looks like a big “W”, and Capricorn, “The SeaGoat”, looks a lot like a boat. On the other hand, “Leo”, a spring constellation, looks quite a lot like a crouching lion, and these evenings, just below Andromeda, are three stars forming the constellation Triangulum, “The Triangle”. That one looks just like the object it is supposed to represent, and Scorpius does look quite like a scorpion. The familiar sevenstar grouping called in various countries “The Big Dipper”, “The Plough”, “Charles’ Wain”, or simply “The Saucepan” is not included because it is not a constellation; it is merely part of the constellation of “The Great Bear”, which of course does not look much like a bear.
Making constellations out of random scatterings of stars is not just something our ancestors did. In the last three hundred years or so, explorers from the Northern Hemisphere going south of the equator saw stars they had never seen before, and set up new constellations there. These include, Centaurus, “The Centaur”; Microscopium, “The Microscope”; Musca, “The Fly”; Sextans, The Sextant”; Mensa, “The Table” and Volans, “The Flying Fish”. As per normal, none of these look like what they represent, and some of the naming seems less romantic than is the case in the Northe r n H e m i s p h e re. The Southern Cross looks something like a cross, but more like a kite. Intriguingly, the Southern Hemisphere a triangle too: three stars forming Triangulum Austra-
lis, “The Southern Triangle”. All over the world people have made constellations out of the stars in the night sky. Maybe this is part of making the great unknown more comforting or comprehensible. However irrational or illogical, putting our myths in the sky has made astronomy a much more fascinating subject. Not only does the sky contain its own mysteries, but it also says interesting things about us. Mars is very low in the Southwest after sunset. Jupiter rises around 6 p.m. and Venus around 5 a.m. The Moon will be new on the 13th, and will reach first quarter on the 20th. Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astro-physical Observatory, Penticton.

Farm Workers Society undergoes name and direction change By Doe Gregoire Society Chair The Similkameen Farm Workers Campground Society has officially changed its name to The Similkameen Farm Workers Advocacy Society as of the spring of 2012. H av i n g l o o ke d at what we had accomplished in the past three years our group was convinced that after two years of implementing the campground just outside of Keremeos, it was intended but did not provide the farm worker with a safe or hygienic site, nor did it resolve the issue for accommodating proper housing the farm workers in the area. We a l s o fo u n d that having created a campsite for the workers unfortunately drew other questionable characters into the area, thus confusing and creating more problems for the honest farm workers themselves and difficulty for the community in deciphering between the two groups. The campground was intended to give some relief to the escalating situation at Pine Park in Keremeos - which it did, however the lack of adequate funding and the location being too close to Keremeos made it tough to create the best case scenario. Regardless, the temporary campground taught us a g r e at d e a l . I t brought into focus the need for more facilities within the farming community including amenities in the town core. The campground was intended to fill in the gap between jobs and but instead recreated a hangout for those unemployed. Having looked at all the possibilities the society has decided to move into a different direction which would better serve the farmer,
farm worker, agricultural industry and the community as well. Now that this season has come and gone without the farm workers campground or the Work Zone, we can see that some farmers are still in need of access to a labour force, and farm workers still need to locate farms to work on. To this end, I propose a possible solution that emphasizes the need to connect these two groups. This idea would lessen the need for an employment office and a central campground. A website developed as a matching service for farmers and farm workers could be the ticket; it would allow each group to register online, answering key questions. A f a r m e r wh o wa n t s t o e m p l oy people would also answer questions pertaining to their n e e d s. I t wo u l d provide contact information to each other and when the position is filled the farmer could then withdraw their request for that position. This information would be updated regularly. This method improves the chances of finding work and the farmer finding workers which is a win/win situation for all. The worker could login at any time of day or night and any place then at their convenience they could write or phone up or e-mail to negotiate a position for work. If a farmer is lacking facilities to accommodate the worker then he would need to rely on local workers who already have a place to live or negotiate a suitable arrangement with the transient worker. With this method, the many needed transient workers can come to the valley knowing what is available or not
and make their decision before they even arrive, eliminating the need for a campground, as they could go straight to the farm. M o s t wo rke r s these days have access to the internet, either through their cell phones or through an internet café or library from anywhere. Workers could be in the Lower Mainland, Ontario or Quebec, or traveling in other countries and use this service before they even get to their destination. It takes most of the guess work out of the equation and allows the recipients to check around for suitable far ms to work on. A minimal fee from the farmer and the farm worker would be required to maintain the site. This concept would necessitate an initial start up cost, however, if you compare the costs to opening an employment office with staff the website would be more cost effective. Having a data based service, I believe, would be part of the solution for bringing the two groups together. Instead of money spent on an administrative center the money could be invested into developing and maintaining the Agricultural Farm/ Farmworkers Data Service (not sure what the title would be at this time). If someone wanted to find the site they would Google agricultural, it would come up. They could then click on to the site and a page explaining the service would appear, following a page to register - and the rest is easy enough to access in the future by logging in then giving their password that which was created when registering. Through this system you could obtain statistics from any field which in
the past has been difficult to attain. We h av e a l w ay s b e e n a s ke d h ow many workers come t h ro u g h t o wo rk here, what type of amenities the farmer has etc. These fields and more could be gathered to help improve services in the area and to streamline the whole process altogether. I would look for f u n d i n g fo r t h i s project through the agricultural community such as the Cherry Growers Assoc., BCFGA, etc and provincial and federal sectors of
governments. Other topics in the future for the Similkameen Farm
Workers Advocacy Society will include looking at the different contracts be-
tween farmers and farm workers from outside of Canada.

MANAGING Your
Money
The value of putting life into your mortgage insurance If you’re arranging a new mortgage or moving an existing one to a new lending institution, you will probably be offered mortgage insurance as part of the package. Protecting what is likely the largest investment you will ever make is always the right choice, but is the lender’s insurance offer the best choice for you? You do have another option that will protect your family’s dream home and their finances should you die. That option: a personal life insurance policy that you arrange to suit your unique needs. Let’s look at the differences between mortgage life insurance offered by most lending institutions and personal life insurance. A personal life insurance plan gives you affordable, flexible coverage that you control and peace of mind knowing your home and family are protected come what may. Even if you have obtained mortgage insurance from a bank or other lender, it is not too late to put personal life insurance into place. Ask for professional advisor for an insurance needs analysis and discuss the right mortgage
life protection, and other financial strategies, that work for you.
