“Idle No More” rally in the park
Meeting in Memorial Park calls for collective action on environmental issues By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Members of the Lower Similkameen Indian Band staged an “Idle No More” rally on Sunday, February 3 at the gazebo in Memorial Park. The grass roots, non-political meeting attracted members from throughout the Similkameen community, including local politicians Electoral Area “B” Director George Bush and Keremeos Councillor Arlene Arlow. “This is for our youth,” declared event organizer and band Environment Coordinator Carrie Terbasket - Benson as the proceedings began shortly after 11 a.m. “It’s about the land, the environment, Photo by Steve Arstad our water.” A number of native drummers were also present, adding ceremony to the rally in between speakers, who were for the most Tessa Terbasket speaks to those gathered at Sunday’s Idle No More information and hand drum rally staged in Memorial Park part, band members. as co-organizer Carrie Terbasket-Benson looks on in the background.

Push harder for hospital funding, board told Interior Health Chair suggests more pressure be applied to province in bid for ambulatory care unit funding By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Okanagan Similkameen Regional Hospital Board Chair Janice Perrino presented $1,338,400 worth of funding requests to the regional district board prior to bringing the board up to date with the latest funding attempts for the ambulatory care unit at Penticton Regional Hospital. Perrino reported that thirty million dollars has been set aside in reserves for the project to date. With a number of Interior Health representatives present at the meeting, Perrino questioned what IH was doing to lobby the province for the project. “We feel we’ve been neglected in this valley,” she told IH Board Chair
Norman Embree, who was also present to answer questions from Perrino and the board. Perrino quoted statistics that indicated health spending in the interior region was much higher in the north that in the south Okangan; $92 per person over a10 year period in Vernon, $108 in Kelowna and $22 in Penticton. “It’s our turn, our time, and long overdue,” added RDOS Board Chair Dan Ashton, noting that Penticton’s hospital was an extremely efficient operation. “It’s time to stand together, in front of any government, and say its Penticton’s turn,” he said. “I agree with all the things you are saying,” answered Embree, who added that “I absolutely agree its Penticton’s turn.” He further explained that Interior Health was funded by the province, in addition to five other health authorities, who also had lists of projects. “Just because Penticton’s ambulatory care unit was number one on IH’s list, doesn’t mean it’s number one on the treasury board’s list,” he said.
Perrino insisted that IH appeared to be “deathly quiet” when it came to advancing the Penticton project, describing other health projects in Kamloops and Vernon that were funded before Penticton’s, even though they were rated as low as fifth on the list. “We’ve not wavered,” Embree responded, “Penticton has always been number one - the issue comes up every time we deal with the province.” Penticton Director and Hospital Board Vice Chair Gary Litke found Embree’s explanations regarding project decisions by the province to be “very disturbing.” “It’s an unprincipled way to make a decision, when a fifth ranked project can go to number one due to a squeaky wheel - the message is nice guys finish last. There’s something wrong with that kind of model.” “It may be disturbing, but that’s the way it is,” responded Embree. Perrino concluded that the hospital board had “been nice too long,” promising that the push to get provincial funding would get more difficult. “We’re not going to be nice any more,” she said.
Building permit activity up in the regional district Building permit activity on the upswing in 2012 RDOS press release Building permits issued through the Regional District OkanaganSimilkameen in 2012 suggest development in the regional district is slowly continuing to pick up following the economic downturn of 2009. “Although it’s not quite a return to 2008 when the regional district enjoyed more than $46 million in new development and additions, 2012 still brought considerable growth to the region,” said Donna Butler, RDOS Development Services Manager. Over the 12-month period, the regional district issued 439 building permits with a total value of almost $39 million. That is up from $37.9 million in 2011 when 410 permits
were issued. As in previous years, the majority of new residential building permits are for the RDOS’s South Okanagan region, specifically that area south of Penticton, including Okanagan Falls/ Kaleden, rural Oliver and rural Osoyoos. Of the 88 new residential units granted building permits in 2012, 63 were in Electoral Areas “A”,”C” and “D”. Building permits were granted for another 18 units in Electoral Area “H”, rural Princeton including Tulameen, Osprey Lake and Eastgate areas. All of these residential building permits were for single family units and totalled $ 23,929,673. Almost all of new non-residential development (commercial, industrial and institutional) was in Electoral Areas “C” and “D” (KaledenOkanagan Falls-Oliver) where 27 of 33 permits were issued. New non-residential development totalled
$5,519,745. “The Regional District of Okanagan- Similkameen is still considered a premier location for both residential and commercial development,” said RDOS Regional Board Chair Dan Ashton. “Our amazing climate, beautiful scenery and friendly, hardworking folk make the OkanaganSimilkameen a great place to build a life.” The Regional District OkanaganSimilkameen provides a monthly summary of building permit activity as part of its commitment to its clients and improving the stakeholder experience. Monthly reports are available online at www.rdos.bc.ca under Building Permits Statistics.

Formerly part of the BC Southern Interior riding, Keremeos and the Lower Similkameen, as far west as the Ashnola valley, will now be in the new riding of South Okanagan West Kootenay, which now includes Penticton and the South Okanagan communities of Osoyoos and Oliver. “Cutting Area “G” at Keremeos isn’t a good idea,” commented Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer. “It’s ridiculous to create a riding that goes Keremeos council submitted a letter to the boundso far east - we have nothing in common with ary commission last fall voicing similar concerns, but East Kootenay,” he added, noting further that local govit appears that those comments were not taken into ernment services were located in Penticton, so being part consideration. of that city’s riding was not an issue.

IJC issues order for future management of Osoyoos Lake levels Contributed The International Joint Commission (IJC) announced on Thursday, January 31 that it has issued an Order of Approval renewing the State of Washington’s authority to operate Zosel Dam and making minor modifications in how water levels on Osoyoos Lake will be managed. The dam, located in Oroville, Washington is subject to international jurisdiction because it regulates the outflow from Osoyoos Lake, and backs water across the border into British Columbia. “Thanks to the active participation in the process by watershed residents and input from the State and Province, the IJC was able to thoroughly vet the issues affecting both countries before revising this Order,” said Commissioner Lyall Knott of the IJC. “As we move forward, we will continue to engage stakeholders in the watershed, and keep them advised of the reservoir operations and water levels. Cooperation is an ongoing process,” commented IJC Commissioner Rich Moy. The current Orders for Zosel Dam were scheduled to expire in February and April 2013. The renewal process began in 2000 with the scoping of issues related to water levels, future water supplies and water quality in order to develop a plan of study. A number of these issues had been raised at W ATM NO LE! B A L I A AV

the annual public meetings of the International Osoyoos Lake Board of Control (the Board), which was appointed by the IJC to oversee implementation of its Orders. The IJC launched eight studies in 2006 and these were completed in 2011. Stakeholders also held in-depth discussions of watershed issues at the Osoyoos Lake Water Science Forums held in September 2007 and September 2011. In a June 2012 report to the IJC, the Board concluded that the current Orders have adequately facilitated control of water levels in Osoyoos Lake, to the extent possible, primarily for the benefit of agriculture, tourism, municipal interests, and fisheries protection. The board recommended only minor modifications to the rule curve that sets Osoyoos Lake upper and lower target water levels for different times of the year. The previous rule curve had specified that the lake be maintained within a half-foot range (911.0 to 911.5 feet) from April through October during normal conditions, but be allowed to rise to 913.0 feet during drought years. The board recommended that the maximum elevation be reduced to 912.5 feet with the flexibility to regulate within a two-foot range every year, thereby eliminating the need for drought declarations. The rule curve recommended in the board’s June 2012 report also provides for a more gradual transition in water levels during the spring and fall.

The Review
Publisher: Mark Walker 605 7th Ave, Keremeos Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial Rally represents good starting point The “Idle No More” movement manifested itself in the Lower Similkameen on February 3 with the Lower Similkameen Indian Band’s information and drum session held at Memorial Park. Band members stayed true to the movement, staging a grassroots based, peaceful, inclusive information session outlining the band’s concern for the environment and ongoing native issues with the present federal government. It was encouraging to note the inclusivity of the meeting, in that several native speakers spoke of the need to work together to resolve local environmental issues. It was also no surprise to notice that water quality in the valley seemed to be a high priority with many. The timing of this increasing desire amongst local natives to discuss and work towards a resolution to water issues in the valley couldn’t come at a better time, as the Similkameen Watershed Study moved forward recently with the RDOS Board of Directors’ selection of a consultant for phase one of the undertaking. This largely federally funded project presents an ideal opportunity, for all those in the Similkameen who are interested, to participate in a discussion that will help plot a direction for the future preservation of the watershed. Another sentiment expressed at Sunday’s rally was that of the realization that a viable economy was necessary, but not at any cost - that there are limits beyond which environmental degradation doesn’t have a worthwhile payback. It’s a concept that isn’t lost on many other residents in the Similkameen. Sunday’s initial rally by the LSIB may be proof that valley residents have similar views on such matters - native or not. Such mutual understanding should be a good basis upon which to build further discussions.

Mortgaging B.C. one deal at a time ByDermid Travis Integrity BC If the B.C. government is ever on the hunt for a new slogan perhaps “spending our children’s inheritance” would be fitting. Since 2001, British Columbians have been witness to the sale of key parts of B.C.’s infrastructure, transfers of its wealth to private interests and sweetheart deals for industries that can afford well-connected lobbyists. There’s the scandalous: the sale of BC Rail; the infamous: the run of rivers; and the it would almost be funny if it weren’t true: the incorporation of Jumbo, B.C. a community with a council of three and not a single resident. How many voters caught news of Coleman’s $10 million stocking stuffer for B.C.’s horse racing industry? Announced five days before Christmas, it would have been an easy miss. Within days of next month’s provincial budget,
B.C.’s auditor-general is expected to release his report on the Pacific Carbon Trust, a crown corporation. Scuttlebutt says it’s not pretty and in all likelihood will be met with a wellorchestrated spontaneous show of criticism from friends of the government. Another area of worry: the increasing use of deferral accounts by the government and its agencies to push the fiscal peanut down the road to another day. In 2011, BC Hydro reported $2.2 billion in deferred expenses, a sum forecast to hit $5 billion by 2017. It’s money that the utility has spent, but for now can choose not to report as though they’ve actually spent it. The auditor-general calls it “creating the illusion of profitability where there is none.” Some of these sweetheart deals, stocking stuffers and deferrals may be in the province’s longterm interest, but in the near total absence of any meaningful legislative over-
sight it’s difficult to know. Legislative oversight is fundamental to good government. And with less-and-less of it, the government does more-andmore by decree. B.C. isn’t well-served by that. In 2012, the B.C. legislature sat for 47 days. Among its numerous legislative duties: to debate and approve a $44 billion budget. Forty-seven days is simply insufficient to do that and everything else well. The B.C. legislature has committees on paper, but not so much in practice. Regardless of who wakes up in government on May 15, there must be a renewed commitment to the idea that committees can play a crucial role in legislative oversight through rigorous debate on government policy. And with what may only be a 19 day session before the election, it will fall heavily on political pundits to scour next month’s budget for any sign of “fudge it” numbers. But there should be an-
other litmus test: will it be sufficiently transparent on the true costs of future financial commitments that the government has already made in the name of future governments? Because fiscal policy doesn’t just have an impact on the here and now, it can also have an impact on taxpayers thirty years down the road, as the $53.1 billion in deals BC Hydro has signed with private energy producers prove. It’s why the BC Liberals, the NDP and other parties have a duty to spell out how their campaign promises can be met in the context of B.C.’s overall fiscal reality. B.C. taxpayers are all too familiar with that legendary post-election hokey-pokey that political parties have danced at one time or another. It’s the jig known as “public finances are even worse than we had imagined and we’ll have to postpone some of those electoral goodies that we promised you.” After the HST debacle, it’s one dance voters could do without.

Local people denied democratic choice To the Editor: The incidents that have occurred over the past couple of weeks have denigrated the rights of basic democracy a fundamental tenet of Canadian sovereignty. Individuals have taken it upon themselves to be judge, jury and in their minds God in making decisions that they felt were for the betterment of the local people. These two candidates have pulled from the race without having the opportunity to prove, through traditional campaigning, to the constituents of the Boundary Similkameen why they wanted to earn our vote. Who has lost here – are the constituents of the Boundary Similkameen and our democratic right. If the information that was received by Mr. Tsakumis conceals an illegal act, then the RCMP should be notified, if not then we
should be asking where this information came from and how did Mr. Tsakumis get it? Was this an act of righteousness initiated to reduce the inevitable vote splitting if Mr. Slater ran as an independent and Ms. Basso as a strong NDP candidate? Instead of going through the process of listening to all candidates on their philosophies and policies we resort to smear and fear campaigns. We also have to ask—will current and future political candidates be similarly vetted and ultimately receive his yea or nay? This is a very sad time for democracy for the constituents of the Boundary Similkameen as well as the province. No matter what happens in the upcoming election the best person for the job will not be freely elected by the people. Yours truly,Fred Marshall, Midway
February is heart and stroke month To the Editor, There are 7,000 people throughout the province who have an inherited risk of fainting or dying suddenly from an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia) – often this is only discovered through an event like fainting. However, research indicates that this is just the tip of the iceberg – for every person identified with inherited arrhythmia, four or more family members may unknowingly be at risk. The condition can be managed with simple medical intervention, but when left unmonitored, it puts lives in danger. As the recently appointed Sauder Family and Heart and Stroke Foundation Chair in Cardiology, we are assembling a team of experts to build a network of clinics to discover those British Columbians at risk, and provide them with protection. Despite all of our advances in prevention and treatment of heart disease, several thousand people in British Columbia die suddenly
every year. I feel this is a key challenge for my team to identify why this happens, who is at risk and how to prevent these tragedies. I am proud to be able to pursue this work, thanks in part to the generous Heart and Stroke Foundation donors. This February is Heart Month. When a Heart and Stroke Foundation canvasser arrives at your door, please give generously. Your support enables me and my fellow researchers, to continue vital work that will save lives here in BC. Show your support for healthy lives, free of heart disease and stroke at heartandstroke.ca. Together, we can Make Health Last. Sincerely, Dr. Andrew Krahn The Sauder Family and Heart and Stroke Foundation Chair in Cardiology For more information about Heart Month in the Okanagan and Kootenay Area, please contact: Joanne King, Area Manager 250860-6275

Some history of Keremeos water systems To the Editor: Many years ago there was an old fashioned irrigation system in the Keremeos area and elsewhere. Water was brought by flume and large pipes from the Ashnola River for the old irrigation system. The very best fruit and vegetables were grown with the help of this water, with no chlorine in it. Around about 1970 a new water system
was brought in. Chester Haker was in charge of irrigation and water at that time. This was a system with deep wells supplying water for both domestic and irrigation use. This new system has worked well for many years. No chlorine is required with this system. Some other old timers may remember this bit of history. L.Lamb, Keremeos

RDOS board discuss alternative funding models for 911 dispatch funding By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
A board discussion that took place at the January 24 Protective Services Committee meeting discussed possible changes to 911 emergency dispatch funding. The regional district’s 911 service was established in 1989, and at the time the bylaw that established the service provided that costs of the service would be apportioned among the participating areas on the basis of “converted assessed value” of improvements. Part of the discussion on January 24 involved the

possibility of changing the cost structure from one of the “assessed values” method to one based on a user fee concept, where areas would pay based on call volume per centage. Planetworks Consultants original study two years ago recommended that the regional district look at other dispatch services than Penticton to provide the basic 911 service; something the board did in 2011. Planetworks also recommended looking at a different funding model. Noting that the 911 service was “fairly serious business,” as well as being a regional service, Chief

Celebrate BC’s first Family Day Monday Feb 11
Play together ■ There is nothing like the fun and innocence of childhood. Whether it’s a game of kick-the-can with the neighbourhood children or building a tree fort in the backyard, some of our best memories are playful. Board games are a great indoor activity, and Family Day is a great time to dig out some of your old favourites like Monopoly and Clue, and maybe try out a few new ones that are geared towards family fun. Your local toy store will have a wide range of options, along with other family-friendly entertainment such as puzzles and books. Set up a card table, get your favourite puzzle out and spend hours putting together the pieces. Finishing a complicated puzzle will also give your kids a sense of accomplishment. If you’re looking for something a bit
Administrative Officer Bill Newell reminded the board that a change in funding method would require two thirds weighted majority of the board or assent by each jurisdiction. The board was nearly unanimous in their decision to maintain the status quo, the primary argument being the realization that 911 service was not really “user pay.” Board members understood that 911 call volume tended to come from larger population centres, and that many 911 calls in the Electoral Areas were made on behalf of the travelling public.
more high-tech, your game console or computer is a good place to start. Video games have come a long way from the classic Super Mario and Donkey Kong, and you may discover that your kids have a much larger technical knowledge than you do. They might beat you at Wii Sports but it will make for a great story! Getting outside for a game of tag or basketball will check off two things on your list: play and exercise. Taking a trip to a local playground or field will give you hours of entertainment for a low cost. Pack a picnic as well for an entire day of fun. Practicing your batting or pitching will also get you ready for the upcoming sports seasons, or maybe compete to see who can run the fastest to the swings.

RDOS board requests improvements to appliance stewardship program By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The regional district board moved to ask the B.C. Minister of Environment to increase standards in the province’s major appliance stewardship program at the January 10 board meeting. The province mandated that producers of large appliances begin paying for and managing collection of their end of life products in July last year, but the regional district believes that the Environmental Management Act Recycling Regulation fails to go far enough. Of particular concern to the RDOS are hazardous materials like refrigerants, which remain the
responsiblity of the recycler and processor. It costs the regional district $19,182 in 2011 to remove refrigerants from disposed refrigeration units at the landfill, and the regional district would like to see that cost legislated to the producers of large appliances. A regional district staff report offered four key concerns about the setup of the present large appliance stewardship program: - No other stewardship program ignores hazardous materials contained within their products. - Since it costs money to capture the refrigerant prior to recycling, there exists an incentive for less scrupulous businesses to improperly dispose of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) . - Many local governments subsidize metal recycling, which
contradicts the ethics of a true Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program. - No program exists within the large appliance program to track large appliances in the recycling stream; without one, the obligation to report on the effectiveness of the recycling program is compromised. The regional district board agreed to advise the Minister of Environment that the Major Appliance program does not meet the standards of Extended Producer responsibility. The regional district board will also submit a resolution to the Southern Interior Local Government Association (SILGA) seeking their support to bring the matter forward to the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM).

Gary Lidder was busy removing snow from the roof of his fruit stand on Highway 3 in Keremeos last week. The Lower Similkameen was hit with two heavy snowfalls earlier in the week that seemed to miss other parts of the region. Moderating temperatures this week will hopefully bring some much needed relief to the winter weary valley.

Electoral Area “G” contained some contentious issues and positive steps forward in 2012 2012: Best things and most contentious issues By Angelique Wood Electoral Area “G” DIrector, RDOS The five best things t h at h ap pened: 1. The Similkameen Valley Planning Society received a $500,000 grant from UBCM to undertake a watershed study of the Similkameen River. A number one priority identified by area residents is protecting our Similkameen River; we need effective strategies to share this vital resource between industry, agriculture and residents; especially since the International Joint Commission will be renegotiating the Columbia River Treaty in 2014, and the British Columbia Government is in the process of the Modernization of the Water Act, which has not changed for over 100 years. 2. TOTA recognized the Similkameen Valley as perfectly positioned to benefit from “Regional Tourism Planning”. This concept, promoted by the Canadian Tourism Foundation,
encourages collaboration between businesses and communities, acknowledging that tourists come to “an area” rather than to a specific business or activity. The grant dollars awarded by this federal agency are being matched by in-kind donations through TOTA who are using the Similkameen as a pilot project, to teach other communities in British Columbia how to strengthen their tourism economies. 3. From May to October of 2012, many individuals contributed hundreds of hours to Hedley’s “Hugelbeet”. This project was created in order to lessen the impact of dumping greens waste in the bush, to compost and build soil and to improve the animal habitat along the old tailings piles around Hedley. In early October an unattended campfire lit the grass field and Hugelbeet on fire. This fire proved the necessity of water and infrastructure for such a project to be viable, which was, ironically, one of the purposes for starting the project…. to show the need for a stronger water supply near Hedley’s old “ballpark” site. 4. Early in September 2012 about 80 residents concerned about the water supply in Olalla met with the RDOS in a “Town Hall” meeting. After the meeting, a number of locals exchanged contact information and created a citizen’s group called “Friends of Olalla”. This group of individuals is working to improve their surroundings in Olalla collectively and with care. In addition,
a number of other individuals agreed to sit on an Advisory Board for the Olalla Water System. 5. Similkameen Trails Society and Vermillion Forks Trails Society began to meet and develop some strategies for a shared vision of recreational and historic trails throughout the Similkameen Valley. These groups have realized that working together on a regional plan they will create a more comprehensive network than they can working alone. They have met with RDOS staff and begun to establish a plan to connect the Princeton area to the rest of the Similkameen and Okanagan. The five most contentious things that happened: 1. Princeton General Hospital Emergency Room was cut back from a 24hour service. This, in a town dominated by heavy industry, and on a dangerous highway corridor, is unacceptable to most residents. Recent visits from the Health Minister and IHA indicate that the tides are turning in Princeton’s favour. This is due in large part to the dedicated efforts of many Princeton and area residents and industry working together to find solutions. 2. The Regional District OkanaganSimilkameen operates transfer stations in Keremeos, Apex, and OK Falls, and a landfill at Campbell Mountain near Naramata. In order to prolong the life of the Campbell mountain landfill, which delays the capital costs of finding and building a new site, staff
at the RDOS are examining strategies to further reduce waste and encourage recycling. Tipping fee structures are being compared to Summerland and Osoyoos with the aim of creating a more “level” playing field, which means there will be rate increases at the gate of Campbell Mountain Landfill so that it is no longer the cheapest (and therefore most frequently used) disposal site for commercial contractors. 3. A Boil Water Notice was issued in the summer of 2012 to residents of Olalla in order to safeguard human health. This action was required by Interior Health and was due to the presence of “total coliforms” in a weekly water reading. The Olalla well was treated with chlorine in order to further reduce hazards to human health and by Thanksgiving the Boil Water Advisory was lifted. A follow up “Town Hall Meeting” held in Keremeos November 3 at the Elks Hall and a number of residents asked what they could do as individuals to safeguard the health of the well. A number of workshops are planned for the upcoming months for residents interested in the topic of protecting our water. 4. The national park in the Similkameen was brought up at the regional district board, after the federal government announced that it was dropping its initiative in the beginning of 2012. The regional district board does not have any jurisdiction over a national continued on page 15
Valentine’s Day facts and superstitions Every February 14th people around the world exchange gifts, chocolates and romantic greetings for a day set aside for lovers. Many traditions are followed, all in the name of St. Valentine. Still, people may not understand why such customs are upheld. Much of the history of Valentine’s Day and St. Valentine himself is shrouded in mystery, and much of what’s widely accepted is inaccurate. To set the record straight, here are some facts about the holiday. * Valentine’s Day is believed to have originated from a celebration in Rome during the fifth century. This celebration paid tribute to St. Valentine, a Catholic priest. Other historians surmise it was a way to “Christianize” the pagan holiday of Lupercalia, which was a fertility festival. Included in the traditions were boys and girls drawing names from a box and exchanging gifts. * The Catholic Church acknowledges at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus. * All of the stories surrounding St. Valentine -- whether they are disputed or not -- paint him as a sympathetic and heroic individual. * Valentine’s Day greetings have been popular from the Middle Ages onward, though they have been usually verbal in nature. * The oldest known written valentine still in existence today was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Change name on Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of AginDriver’s License court. * Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia.

ORL launches community wide reading project Contributed On January 31 the Okanagan Regional Library announced its first valley-wide reading project, Okanagan Reads. Aimed at promoting literacy, the project will encourage participants throughout the Okanagan to read the same book. Shoot!, a western novel set in the Thompson Okanagan in the late 1800s by award-winning Okanagan author and Canada’s first Poet Laureate, George Bowering, has been selected as the book for Okanagan Reads. Bowering has published more than 80 books of fiction, history, plays and poetry. “This ‘one book/one community’ project provides an opportunity for people to read, discuss and connect,” says Librarian Fern Teleglow, coordinator of the firsttime project. “The Okanagan has a rich heritage and we hope our choice of one book will not only encourage reading, but also connect the community with the history of the area.” Okanagan Reads, which starts February 1 and goes through March 8, will feature author readings, film screenings and book discussions in library branches across the region. Readers can follow the dialogue at okanaganreads.ca and join the discussion on the library’s social media channels. Shoot! follows the adventures of the
McLean Gang and brings to life the historical account of the murder of constable Johnny Ussher in the 1800s. Known as “breeds,” mixed Scottish and Salish blood, the McLeans were outcasts of both cultures and destined to be outlaws. British Columbia, and in particular the Okanagan, appear frequently in George Bowering’s work, who was born in Penticton and raised in Oliver. “He paints vitality into the world he creates,” says Teleglow. “Any reader familiar with the area will never look at the history, the hills, and the people the same way ever again.” Extra copies of Shoot! have been purchased and are also available as Quick Reads, a seven-day library loan. Shoot! is also available from local bookstores. The project is made possible by a $24,000 Libraries and Literacy grant from the BC Ministry of Education and support from New Star Books and local Okanagan media.

RDOS employee efforts net more than $4,000 in donations to local food banks Contributed Fundraising efforts on the part of Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen employees over the last year have resulted in the donation of more than $4,000 in cash and foodstuffs to seven local food bank associations. “This is a voluntary effort on the part of our employees,” explained Bill Newell, the Regional District’s Chief Administrative Officer. “The funds raised and the food donated was all accomplished on their own time with their own resources.
Each of the seven food bank associations — representing Penticton, Summerland, Cawston, Oliver, Osoyoos, Princeton and Okanagan Falls —received cheques in the amount of $550. Additional foodstuffs collected in January were also turned over to the food bank associations. RDOS staff contributed to the food bank donation through a number of internal events. For further information please contact Tim Bouwmeester, RDOS Information Services Manager, at (250) 490-4127 or tbouwmeester@rdos.bc.ca.

Construction begins on the Chime Project
A
few days ago heavy earth m o v i n g equipment arrived at our observatory site and started moving snow and soil. Now there is a square patch of ground with assorted piles of soil and snow, pieces of orange plastic, heavy equipment and men laying out exactly what is to be built and where. This work marks the starting point for the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME), the development of a special radio telescope custom made
for looking at structure in the early universe. When completed it will look l i ke a 1 0 0 m e t re s q u a r e a r r ay o f snowplough blades mounted close to the ground and facing upwards. Although it will be at our observatory, which is part of the National Research Council, this instrument is a project by the University of British Columbia. It will be located here to make use of our most important asset, very low levels of manmade radio interference. Our universe began just under 14 billion years ago, in an event we often refer to as the Big Bang. In the beginning it was small, unimaginably hot, and incredibly dense. As it expanded and cooled, it became a hot, dense fog of elementary particles, the fundamental building blocks of
atoms. A few minutes after the Big Bang the universe was cool enough for protons, neutrons a n d e l e c t ro n s t o form from the particles. Then, for the next 380,000 years or so, they joined together and separated again. By that time the temperatures and densities had fallen enough for atoms to form and stay together. Because hydrogen atoms are very stabl e, th e y formed first, leading to a universe that is mostly hydrogen, even today. Hydrogen is the main raw material for making stars. It provides their energy and produces as waste products all the other elements needed to make planets and us. At some point what is believed to have been a featureless, homogenous expanding universe started to become unstable. The material started to clump,
health health
and the clumps coll ap s e d i n t o s u b clumps, which then collapsed further to form the first galaxies and stars, the beginning of the sort of universe we see around us today. The best Christmas present ever given to astronomers is that the cold hydrogen gas in space gives off a radio signal, at frequency of exactly 1420.40575177 MHz (MegaHertz). We can use the strength of that signal to map the abundance of hydrogen in clouds, galaxies and beyond. Even better, if that material is moving t owa rd s o r away from us, that frequency is increased or decreased by the Doppler Effect, which is what makes sirens on emergency vehicles sound higher when approaching us and lower when the vehicle has gone past. Because the universe is expanding, that hydrogen
signal is strongly s h i f t e d d ow n i n frequency, and because that expansion increases with distance, measuring the frequency, tells us how far away that hydrogen lies. In that way it will be possible to identify the signal from the hydrogen in the young universe and use it to map in 3D the beginnings of the first structures and get an idea of the forces moulding them. The planets Merc u r y, M a r s a n d Neptune lie close together, low in the west after sunset, Jupiter dominates the southern sky during the night. Saturn rises at 1 a.m. The Moon will be new on the 9th. Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astro-physical Observatory, Penticton.

MANAGING Your Money
Investing for income – five fundamentals A sound financial plan usually includes developing and maintaining a portfolio of investments that you will, at some point, tap into on a regular basis to cover living expenses or for some other ongoing need. That is most likely to occur after you retire but, depending on your unique financial needs, it could come earlier – so here are five fundamentals for getting the most from your investments. 1. Be realistic about whether or not your current investments will deliver an adequate level of income In retirement, your income will usually consist of amounts you’ll receive from the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security (CPP/ OAS), private pension plan(s) and perhaps work income, plus draws from your investments. If you think your retirement expenses will be such that the income produced from your investments will be inadequate, you should revisit your portfolio and savings strategies now. 2.Verify that your income will last as long as you need it The level of income you draw from your investments should not completely deplete your savings while you still need them. The investments you choose will depend on your investment style and income needs. 3. As your expenses increase with inflation, your income needs will also change A portfolio that consists solely of fixed income investments, such as GICs, is unlikely to produce long-term growth above inflation. Growth in income comes from growth in assets. That’s why investing for income during a long retirement usually means including investments in diversified equity markets, depending on your comfort level with market risk. 4. Assess your need for income stability and how to achieve it Be mindful of the impact that constant withdrawals can have on your investments. If you need a high level of income stability, look at investments that deliver regular distributions – fixed income, real property, dividend paying securities – or products that provide a guaranteed monthly income, such as annuities. 5. Consider the tax impact on the income you
draw Income from investments held within a TFSA are tax-free, while income from your other registered assets is fully taxable. For your other accounts, the tax on interest is generally higher than income from dividends or capital gains. The amount of your taxable retirement income may also trigger clawbacks of your OAS benefits. Look at investment structures that can provide more tax-advantaged income for non-registered accounts. Planning to ensure you retirement income needs will be met can be complex. Your professional advisor can supply the expertise and vision you need to meet those needs.
