Maple and birch syrup made in B.C. From tree to table-B.C. maple and birch syrup ready to be enjoyed

B.C’s first ever Family Day holiday was enjoyed by dozens of families who spent part of the day ice fishing at Yellow Lake. The popular fishing hole’s four parking areas were packed, with dozens of people scattered across the lake.
B.C. Ministry of Agriculture The next time you sit down to breakfast, why don’t you pour some British Columbiamade maple syrup over your waffles or pancakes? That’s right; maple syrup is produced right here in B.C. Not only that, birch syrup is also produced, which last year was voted one of the top-10 food trends in Canada. B.C. maple syrup is produced using the sap of the Bigleaf maple which grows primarily on Vancouver Island and in some regions of coastal mainland B.C. Birch Syrup is primarily produced in the Cariboo region of B.C. Different than traditional maple syrup, it is not as sweet and reputed to have a more caramel-like flavour. The government of B.C. recently expanded its list of “Qualifying Agricultural Uses” to include broad leaf maple and birch sap or syrup. Considered a breakthrough for this emerging sector, the new status will provide more flexibility for producers to meet the requirements to maintain farm status.

Twin Lakes developer Suki Sekhon (standing, left) discusses his proposed development at a round table discussion over issues in the Twin Lakes area. The meeting was held on February 5 at Kaleden Elementary School.
Developer’s proposal needs water study to flow Future direction of debate hinges on results of “super study” By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Approximately 35 people turned out to the Kaleden Elementary School library on February 5 for a round table discussion of Twin Lakes area issues. At the heart of the discussion was the proposed Twin Lakes subdivision, with an initial phase of 33 single family units and 40 townhome subdivision to be built on a ridge just north of the golf course. Future plans also call for a final development of 136 single family homes and 72 townhouses on 100 acres, to be constructed in three phases. The project has stirred up controversy amongst Twin Lakes residents who feel there is strong evidence that the aquifer is over allocated and cannot handle a development of such magnitude. Area “D” Director Tom Siddon, who chaired the gathering, suggested that the meeting be used as an “attempt to find a constructive consensus.” He also asked those present to speak to the issues raised with a “tone of open-mindedness,” adding that he himself had been seen as a NIMBY at times. Also present were several RDOS staff members, Area “G” Director Angelique Wood, and Suki Sekhon, owner of the Twin Lakes golf course. RDOS staff brought those attending up to date on the history of the subdivision proposal and present state of the application. Development Services Manager Donna Butler noted that the Twin Lakes area - designated as a rural growth area in the Regional Growth Strategy - had been so designated because the zoning for Sekhon’s proposed subdivision had been in place
“
since the mid 1990s. The zoning had also been in place prior to local concerns about water issues. Sekhon told the gathering that he had been diligent in the fulfillment of all requirements requested of him by the regional district and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. A $250,000 water study, paid for by Sekhon and currently being undertaken by Golder and Associates, was in its final stages of completion, with a preliminary report due in May or June. “The study should tell us what development should take place,” Sekhon said, noting that a community water and sewer system that would come with the development would prove beneficial to existing property owners surrounding his proposed development. Sekhon also noted that the area had other issues, such as deteriorating roads and the lack of a fire department. Siddon then asked Sekhon to describe his thought process surrounding the original purchase of the property, with Sekhon responding that he had purchased the property with the concept of developing a golf course community, and had encountered no issues opposing this during the original purchase. Siddon then observed that there could be possible consequences if the game plan suddenly changed at this point. Twin Lakes resident Coral Brown, who has acted as spokesperson for many residents in the area, reiterated local concerns about the Twin Lakes aquifer and the impact of development on local species at risk, advising those present that water allotments should not be based on data derived in wet years - like now. Sekhon replied that the present study represented a “substantial report” and would address all concerns raised by the Ministry of Transporta-
We’re learning things... we’re not rushing into this...
”
tion and Infrastructure. In response to a question from an audience member who asked him if he had plans for a smaller scale development should the report come back negative, Sekhon replied that he did not. The water study currently underway elicited further discussion. The study’s potential for impartiality was questioned, as was the need for the study itself, as there were results available from three previous studies on the aquifer. Sekhon explained that Golder had been hired because they had been involved in the previous study. He noted that the ministry had also been consulted, and were the ones who gave the study its “marching orders”. Siddon admitted that there was potential for arguments to go “Back and forth” with respect to the validity of the upcoming report. He assured the group that the RDOS would “receive the report with sincerity.” “The majority of the reports done say that more information is needed,” added RDOS Subdivision Supervisor Stephen Juch. “We’ll have to see what this report says.” The discussion then moved on to descriptions of the aquifer and the effects of excessive drawdown. It was noted that a depleted aquifer often compacts upon drawdown, compromising future ability to retain water. One resident noted that 10 per cent of Twin Lakes water flowed into the Meyers Flat aquifer, further east and downslope; his message was that aquifer considerations needed to take in areas beyond Twin Lakes. “Plans should be based on low water years,” he advised the gathering. In conclusion, Siddon noted that a number of issues and concerns had come to light in the years following the subdivision’ s original zoning, and the RDOS was taking the information into account as policy and bylaws were brought up to date. “We’re learning things,” he said in conclusion, “we’re not rushing into this.”

Regional district notes Police 911 dispatch costs skyrocket The regional district needed an amendment on the enhanced 911 emergency telephone number service agreement in order to have the funding to pay for the service in this year’s budget. The existing agreement for the service, which provides 911 service for police and ambulance services, comes through the Central Okanagan Regional District. The current agreement does not have a high enough ceiling to accommodate this year’s increase in costs due to RCMP increases. An amendment to raise the ceiling from 1.5 to 1.7 million dollars was carried by the RDOS board at the February 7 meeting. The increased cost of the service, which came about as a result of a big increase in the cost of RCMP services The Central Okanagan Regional District has issued a Request for Proposals as it seeks to find other service providers. New Financial Services Manager for the RDOS Warren Everton, Financial Services Manager for the regional district, is leaving the position he has held for three years for another opportunity at the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-op . Everton received copious amounts of praise last week as he toured the region to deliver budget presentations. “Warren has been a very competent individual,” said Chief Administrative Officer Bill Newell at the February 7 regional district board meeting, noting that Everton had overhauled the budget process in his time at the RDOS. Everton’s position will be filled by Sandy Croteau, who comes to the job with previous regional district experience. Library hikes getting out of hand Area “C” Director Allan Patton urged the RDOS Board of Directors to “pass on our concern for massive increases in the library budget. It has gotten out of hand. The ORL needs to go to zero per cent.”

Local government a key player in nature strategy Contributed Local government has a key role to play in ensuring the South Okanagan Similkameen’s ecosystems and networks of natural areas remain healthy and sustainable. That’s the foundation of a biodiversity conservation strategy prepared by the South Okanagan-Similkameen Conservation Program partners that encourages local government, landowners, conservation groups and residents to rethink how they view the region they call home. Keeping Nature in Our Future is a strategy to help ensure the ecosystems that make the South Okanagan and Similkameen valleys so special are here for future generations to enjoy. ‘ ’ T h e S o u t h O k a n ag a n Similkameen is a spectacular place,” said SOSCP Manager Bryn White. “Its warm climate and abundance of resources have created an environment almost perfect for human comfort. And we’ve made the most of that opportunity - building a wealth of agricultural diversity, a recreational paradise and communities that offer a world-class lifestyle.” But, adds White, the region is also a biologically unique area with species and ecosystems that do not exist anywhere else in Canada- and in some cases the world. “Many of these ecosystems are facing serious threat from
the very activities that make our lifestyle so complete.” Key to reversing these serious threats is action on the part of local government in the form of careful land use planning and development, incentives for landowners and developers and other tools such as land acquisition and stewardship. The South Okanagan-Similkameen Conservation Program plans to introduce the Keeping Nature in Our Future strategy with presentations to various municipal governments over the next two months. As well, SOSCP and the RDOS are cohosting public consultations in South Okanagan-Similkameen communities to give citizens an opportunity to get to know the strategy and let decision makers know what is important to them. “Although local government plays a vital role in this strategy, we are all stakeholders in the place we call home,” explained White. “It’s important for all South Okanagan and Similkameen residents to be involved in this process. The Planning and Development Committee of the Regional Board recently received a copy of the draft and is looking for input from the public on the document and its direction. All of the public comments and feedback will be provided to the local governments as part of their review and decision making process. This is a great opportunity for the public’s voice to be heard.”
The retirement conversion To supplement your other sources of income, you will probably need to draw additional retirement income from your registered and non-registered investments. How you choose to do that may have a big impact on the stability of that income and on the size of your tax bill. As you move closer to retirement age, you’ll be drawing on your accumulated wealth to meet retirement expenses – and with average life expectancy rising, that could be for many years. That’s why it’s a good strategy to balance between capital preservation with less volatile investments that produce a regular and stable income, such as fixed income and dividend-producing investments and growth investments that can add to your retirement income and protect against inflation. The impact of taxes on your retirement income depends on the sources of that income. For example, if you generate your retirement income from a non-registered investment source that produces interest, the resulting income will be fully taxable. However, if your income is derived from selling non-registered equities the profit is a capital gain and the tax rate is reduced to 50%. Be aware that reporting large amounts of taxable income from all sources can result in the reduction of income-tested government benefits such as Old Age Security (OAS). There is also the taxing question about when and how to dispose of assets. Through years of investing, you may have accumulated sizeable unrealized capital gains. If you choose to realize them in a single year through a one-time disposition – for example to fund an annuity, - the result could be a significant tax hit. Instead, develop a tax-reduction strategy now that will minimize taxes before retirement through all your retirement years. One strategy is to hold relatively more
MANAGING Your Money equity investments in the non-registered part of your portfolio and relatively more fixed-income securities in registered investments. This strategy preserves the tax advantages of equity investments over fixed income investments. When you know the right tax-reducing conversion strategies and remain vigilant about paying less tax you’ll preserve your wealth and make your retirement as fulfilling and worry-free as possible. Your professional advisor can help you seize all of the tax strategies available to you and develop an investment approach that works best for you.

Regional district unveils 2013 budget requisition to Village Council Regional district taxes average $311 in the village for 2013 By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Keremeos Village Council heard from Regional District Okanagan Similkameen Manager of Finance Warren Everton at the February 4 regular meeting of council. Everton delivered a summary of the regional district’s 2013 budget, which must be adopted by the RDOS board by March 31. Everton summarized the village’s shared services with the RDOS, noting such items as emergency services, recreation centre and pool, and landfill operations. Outside contracts shared with RDOS include 911 dispatch, Sterile Insect Release Program (SIR) and the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB). The RDOS has a 60 million dollar budget this year. The 2013 tax requisition for Keremeos indicates a 3.85 per cent increase over 2012, from $261,692 to $272,036. The amount works out to $1.32 per $1,000 of assessment value, or $311 for the average village property. Corporal Mike Gallagher, Keremeos RCMP Detachment Commander, presented the third
quarter (2012) summary to council. He noted that an increase in assaults (six) during the period was almost entirely attributable to a couple of Lower Mainland residents, who have since been ordered not to return to the village. Gallagher said that the detachment was looking at the possibility of introducing letters of expulsion as a means to deal with transient issues this summer. He told council that a new bylaw would be necessary to accommodate the police procedure. Gallagher also advised that the summer bike patrol program was expected to be implemented this year. Council initiated the borrowing process for the water reservoir project. Council accepted staff’s recommendation to receive the water reservoir project report for information, advanced the loan authorization bylaw, appointed Chief Administration Officer Laurie Taylor as Chief Election Officer and Wendy Curr as Deputy Chief Election Officer for the referendum. The water reservoir bylaw authorizes the borrowing of up to $955,285 to be repaid over 30 years. The Loan Authorization Bylaw also passed first, second and third readings.

2013 VISITOR GUIDE
Village releases core service review By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The Village of Keremeos released the results of the municipality’s first Core Services Review on February 6. There was little in the way of startling revelations in the five page, $6,629.20 document, produced by Diehl Management. The report also included an analysis of salary and wage levels for both union and nonunion staff, including options for consideration by council. Some of that information was not included in the version released to the public. The report noted that Keremeos has one of the oldest demographics in B.C., calling village administration “a unique challenge for the village in terms of service and taxation demands.” The report drew from census information, conversations with staff and council members, last year’s citizen survey, as well as from information gleaned through comparison with several other B.C. communities of similar size. In summary, the report found that Keremeos was “very well
managed through a structure that has an appropriate balance between managers and staff. The report’s main points were summarized as follows: - Employees at all levels are highly dedicated and experienced. - The Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Accounting Officer are being paid at a rate “significantly below” market value when compared to peer communities, stressing this as a major reason for high turnover in the village’s CAO position (nine candidates in 12 years). - The village’s relationship with the regional district is strong and beneficial to the community in financial way. - The workload of the two village clerks who backfill for the vacant receptionist position can be met but as business increases the CAO should hire a new front counter receptionist. - The Village Foreman has a “huge amount of responsibility” and is currently paid below market. In a comparison against seven other communities, (100 Mile House, Nakusp, Fruitvale, Chase, Lumby, Enderby and Ashcroft) continued on page 16

The Review
Publisher: Mark Walker 605 7th Ave, Keremeos Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial Core review misses the mark The Village of Keremeos core service review was released last week - all five pages, totalling $6,629.20 in cost. It was disappointing to see how little new information was in the report, which seems to us to be very simplistic and single minded in its approach to assessing village operations. On the report’s final pages, the seven recommendations released to the public are especially simplistic. Probably the most important issue we have with this review is the fact that it did nothing to assess the village’s ability to pay for higher staff salaries the report says is needed. In suggesting that higher levels of pay is needed to stem the turnover of CAOs in Keremeos, the report did not address the other reasons why the the position is vacated so often - and in doing so, the report’s conclusions help to foster continued inequities in wages between the public and private sector. Take for example, a recent news item regarding the recent filling of a CAO position in Williams Lake, where Don Degagne recently took the position. The newspaper report noted that “Don worked in a number of communities in B.C.,” (including Keremeos) adding that the town received more than 90 applications for the position. The review could have served its purpose better had it truly looked into the matter of B.C.’s municipal CAOs game of musical chairs, noting that maybe - just maybe - CAO attrition is related to the fact that the position in B.C. small communities is seen by them as a stepping stone up the career ladder rather than a position to aspire to. If this is so, raising wages will do nothing more than feed an already highly paid position, forcing municipalities to continue upping the ante without just cause - or hope of resolving the issue.

MP Atamanenko not happy with electoral boundary realignment Contributed BC Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko is disappointed that the federal Electoral Boundaries Commission’s report does not re f l e c t t h e m a j o r i t y of submissions at last fall’s public hearings in B.C’.s rural ridings. The final commission report divides the current riding of BC Southern Interior between a newly created riding, South Okanagan - West Kootenay, and the eastern riding of Kootenay-Columbia. The communities of Nelson, Kaslo and Salmo will become p a r t o f Ko o t e n a y Columbia. Castlegar, Tra i l , G ra n d Fo rk s, Nakusp and the Sloc a n Va l l e y j o i n O s oyoos and Penticton in South Okanagan-West Kootenay. The communities of Keremeos a n d P r i n c e t o n h av e
been added to a third Okanagan riding. “ T h i s re p o r t g o e s ag a i n s t t h e s u b m i s sions of an overwhelming majority of people who provided feedback at the Commission’s public hearings”, said A t a m a n e n k o . “ We heard the message loud and clear that Nelson, Salmo and Kaslo did not want to be separated from Castlegar and Trail, but that is exactly what the commission has done.” In a recently released op-ed piece Dan A lb a s, C o nse rvative M P fo r O k a n a g a n Coquihalla, also criticizes the commission’s report. According to A l b a s, t h e c o m m i s sion based the redistribution solely on numbers and did not consider geographic accessibility or equity of representation when redefining rural riding boundaries. For constituents living in
the Slocan Valley an MP’s office in Penticton (five hours away) is never easily accessible. Winter driving conditions on mountain passes will curtail MP visits to the West Kootenay area. A similar accessibility problem exists in the Kootenay-Columbia. “I agree with Dan”, added Atamanenko. “What may work on paper does not translate to the reality on the ground.” The commission has added significantly more mountainous area to the already challenging size of KootenayColumbia. Equitable access to the MP will be impossible in this large territory. A t a m a n e n ko a n d o t h e r M P s h av e 3 0 days in which to register their objection and signify their intention to appear before the parliamentary procedures committee. The
Member for BC Southern Interior is slated to appear before the C o m m i t t e e i n e a r ly March. “I will be pleading my c a s e ag a i n s t t h e changes to the riding boundaries and e n c o u r ag e eve r yo n e who is concerned to provide me with a letter of support. Letters from constituents will add weight to our case”, concluded the NDP MP.

letters To the Editor: In the beginning we invented democracy and flourished. In less than 400 years we have reached the moon and beyond. What great heights we should achieve in the next 400 years. But democracy is flawed. Our system of government has political parties - where the parties have their own agendas, and don’t follow the people’s wishes, there will be corruption, waste and mismanagement of funds. The people come second, the party first. It’s true agenda to get and have power. All people elected should be independent, doing the wishes of the people for the greater good of all. When we built the new Port Mann bridge our tax dollars paid for it all. Every bolt, beam and nut on it. All the labour and all the materials. Why should we have to pay to use it? We already paid for it. Government mismanagement equals po-

litical parties’ greed. Our Prime Minister “Heartless Harper” is now going to charge a community if the army comes to help in a disaster. What a joke. Your house gets washed away, then the government sends you a bill. We pay all the army’s wages, supply them with all the necessary gear with our tax dollars. Why should we pay again? Government mismanagement equals political parties’ greed. All societies fail because their leaders are arrogant, ignorant, ill equipped and unprepared to deal with economic or natural disasters. The people are left to fend for themselves. I think we are on a slippery slope to doom. Why would governments tax our hydro bills? Not for our good, but for theirs. One more example of financial abuse from our governments. Pat Sanderson, Cawston

February is heart 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 B.C. 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

Canadians have developed a taste for salt. Sodium is a nutrient found in table salt and many other foods and most of us eat more than double the amount we need each day. Too much sodium puts stress on our hearts and can put our health at risk. February is Heart Month; a great time to learn about how reducing the amount of sodium we eat can help keep our “tickers” healthy. Adults only need about 1,500 mg of sodium each day for good health. This small amount of sodium helps to regulate body fluids and blood pressure and it also keeps our muscles and nerves running smoothly. Unfortunately, most of us consume around 3,400 mg which can lead to high blood pressure - a major risk factor for stroke, heart disease and kidney disease. Some sodium occurs naturally in foods, but most is added for flavour and preservation. All types of salt, including sea salt, kosher salts and other gourmet salts contain similar amounts of sodium. Over 75 per cent of the sodium we eat comes from processed foods such as cheeses, deli meats, sauces and soups, packaged and ready-to-eat foods, pizza, fast foods and res-
taurant meals. Sodium is also found in lesser amounts in many foods that don’t taste salty such as bread, baked goods, and breakfast cereals. Take these simple steps to reduce the amount of sodium that you eat: Create meals at home from fresh unprocessed foods. Eat fewer packaged, ready to eat and take out foods. Use the Nutrition Facts table to compare products and choose products that are lower in sodium. Add little or no salt to food when cooking and remove the salt shaker from your table. Easy access to low sodium foods can help us all make better choices. Use your voice and your buying power to send a message to the food industry to offer lower sodium products: Call or email your favorite food companies and request lower sodium products. Let your money do the talking. Use Nutrition Facts tables to compare products and purchase products that are lowest in sodium. Choose to eat at restaurants and food outlets that provide nutrition information such as those that participate in the informed dining program. Choose foods with less sodium. Eating less sodium can help you and your family stay healthy and feel your best. Now that’s something to take to heart.

Contributed by Friends of the Keremeos Skating rink An excellent ice skating season has come to an end at the Keremeos rink and soon it will be time for local soccer and baseball Seven year olds and older enjoy a nighttime outdoor skate at the rec centre prior to the ice being removed at the end of January. Below, three registration. It’s important to note that the cost of local to six year olds enjoy a lesson. The rink saw a lot of use this year in spite sports for kids is lower this year because of of unusual amounts of snow. Photos contributed the work of non-profit organizations run by parents and other dedicated volunteers. For, example, look at up-coming soccer and baseball for four – 10 year olds: The Similkameen Minor Sports Association has lowered the registration cost from $85 last year to only $60 in 2013! They have worked hard to cut costs to make these sports more accessible to all families, but they depend on volunteer coaches, parent participation and on-time registration to make it work. SMSA also organizes local soccer and baseball teams for kids over 10 years old. Registration information will soon be available on their website (www.similkameensports.ca) and through school newsletters. They can also help you find further financial assistance from JumpStart and KidSports program. Another non-profit organization, Friends of the Keremeos Skating Rink, worked to keep skating and hockey fees the same or lower than last year in spite of increasing costs at the Similkameen Recreation Centre. Friends of the Rink subsidized drop–in hockey bringing the Wednesday Short League price down from the $8.50 that the rink charged to $5 for mites and Feb.6, 2013 $4 for 9-14 year olds. We also subsidized the registration fee for mites Garry Jefferson 206 hockey bringing it from $85 down to $55 per child. Skating lessons James Kruspe 244 were subsidized to bring the cost from $84 down to $50, and from Dean Schneider 192, 104 $120 down to $75, according to age group. For the fourth year in a Rob VanDiemen 275 row Friends of the Rink distributed passes for free public skating to children via the schools. 580 passes were redeemed this year…40 Lynda Jensen 218 per cent more than last year. Way to go skaters! Henry Jensen 245 Through all the challenges of repeated snowfall, rink management and staff put their hearts into keeping the ice in good condition Strikes and Spares through December and January. Friends of the Keremeos Rink February 4 - 7 would like to thank all of them as well as the local businesses and Monday P.M. Alley Oops organizations that sponsored so many free public skating sessions Ladies this year. A warm thank you to Bonnie Dickinson who brought her Kristina Dupuis 253 extensive experience teaching skating in Keremeos for the second year Men in a row.

news Regional district directors, regional fire chiefs and RDOS staff met at the Lakeside on Saturday to discuss controversial aspects of a planned 911 emergency infrastructure upgrade.
Saturday workshop fails to satisfy By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Regional District Okanagan Similkameen Directors, RDOS Emergency Services staff and members of regional district fire departments gathered at the Penticton Lakeside Resort on Saturday, February 9 to discuss upgrades to the 911 emergency communication system. Recent controversy over the use of landlines versus radio relay sites was a main reason for the meeting, but while representatives of Planetworks were on hand to discuss their report, there was a noted absence of Warren Carr from Telus, who was also on the agenda. The study by Planetworks Consultants that favoured radio links came under scrutiny by regional district directors because of a lack of information regarding alternative communications systems such as internet and phone lines. Several directors also expressed a desire to see a cost analysis between radio links and a dedicated Telus line at the February 7 regional board meeting. The directors were also aware that several regional departments were not satisfied with the direction the telecommunication upgrade was taking. Approximately 45 people attended the 911 telecommunication workshop. Mory Kapustianyk and Keith Brady of Planetworks Consulting spoke at length about their qualifications, expertise and reasons why their study came to the conclusions it did, delivered in a similar format to a presentation the directors heard at the December 6, 2012 meeting of the board. Landlines were not given prominence because of the uncertainty regarding the delivery of the signal, Kapustianyk told the group. The line could be run underground, or strung along poles, potentially compromising the reliability of the signal. It was also a priority for Kapustianyk to use a singular method of delivery for both the primary (radio) and backup dispatch link (phone line). Regional District Director Michael Brydon told the Review that figures obtained by the regional district for a rented Telus line compared favourably to the cost of a radio network, but after 10 years the cost of a landline became increasingly more expensive. Much of Saturday’s discussion centred on the two options presented by Planetworks communication with regional fire departments through a “zoned” approach, (at a cost of 1.5 million dollars) or a “one to one” approach for more than two million dollars. Noting that independent communication between firehalls and dispatch was a costly choice, Kapustianyk said that dispatch communication (command) was dealt with separately from voice communication (tactical). Regional district directors had elected to go with the less expensive zoned approach.

A history of telescopes
I f yo u ’ve eve r used cheap binoculars or telescopes, you will have noticed that when looking at something with a sharp edge between bright and dark, such as the Moon, you see coloured fringes. This problem, called chromatic aberrat i o n , wh i c h g e t s worse when you try to use higher magnifications, has been the bane of telescope designers for centuries. The cause of the problem is simple; a glass lens bends blue light more strongly than it does red light, so different colours
come to a focus at different distances. Newton solved the problem completely by designing a telescope using a concave mirror to collect the light and form the images. His “reflecting telescope” is the ancestor of large, observatory telescopes such as the Canada France Hawaii Telescope, and also the larger telescopes used by amateurs. However, it is hard to make efficient small reflecting telescopes, so designs using lenses, called “refracting telescopes”, continue to be heavily used today. The centuries fighting chromatic aberration led to some very innovative telescope and lens designs, so that today it is no longer much of a problem, except in those unusually cheap binoculars and telescopes. The aficionado
of exotic telescope design must be Johannes Hevelius, an astronomer in 17th C e n t u r y Po l a n d . He found that the chromatic aberration problem is less serious for lenses that are less sharply convex, that is, of longer focal length, so he made some of the longest telescopes in history. His most ambitious was 45m long, supported on a huge mast and adjusted by many guy wires. However, he found that while reducing one problem he ran into a new and equally serious one. His telescope sagged under its own weight and flexed in the wind. Surprisingly though, he did manage to make useful observations with the telescope, but few took up his solution to the chromatic aberration issue. In the 18th Century optical engineers found that by
health health
combining a convex lens made with one type of glass and a convex lens made of another it was possible to form an image with much of the chromatic aberration cancelling out for the main problem colours, red and blue. They called these lenses “achromats”. This invention made useful telescopes available for the first time, for sailors and others as well as astronomers. Even today there are many “achromatic” telescopes and binoculars in use. However, the engineers kept working and eventually came up with something even better. They managed to combine lenses in such a way that they largely cancelled chromatic aberration at three wavelengths: red, blue and green. This was another big improvement, and these lenses, known as “apochromats”,
are now widely used in the best telescopes a n d b i n o c u l a r s. Thanks to modern computer design and manufacturing techniques, apochromats are getting better and cheaper. It’s worth remembering though that until recently we did not have these tools. Innovations in lens design involved experimenting with different glass types, calculations on pieces of paper and finally making the lenses by hand. Mercury lies quite close to Mars, low in the southwest after sunset. Jupiter is high in the southwest most of the night. Saturn rises about 1am. The Moon will reach first quarter on the 17th. Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astro-physical Observatory, Penticton.

committee meeting to review a draft policy. All in attendance were in favour of the draft policy. Students also provided some feedback for implementation of the policy including working with LinkCrew and leadership groups and offering workshops on this topic. Ms. Schroeter advised of gaystraight alliances, throughout North America which provide varied resources for schools. This policy will now be available on our website, awaiting further input from our communities. The board approved a Board Authorized course in Hairdressing for SOSS. This course will be offered by Okanagan Cosmetology in Penticton. Two other board authorized courses were approved by the board: Golf 10 at OSS and Leadership 12 at SESS. We are happy to be providing more choices for our students which aligns with the vision of the new BC Education plan as presented by the Ministry of Education. The board also approved a Dual Credit Memorandum of Understanding with Okanagan College. This MoU is revised to remove the clause stipulating that students have to complete grade 12 before receiving their college credentials. The Board of Education would like to invite the parents and the public to attend our next Learning Forum at Osoyoos Elementary on February 13. Rod Allen, Superintendent of Learning, Ministry of Education, Victoria will be the guest speaker. The topic will be the BC Education plan. Teachers from Osoyoos Elementary and Secondary schools will be demonstrating how 21st century learning is taking place in their classrooms. Please come out and show your support.

Core service review / continued from page 5 Keremeos had: - The second smallest taxable area. - Fourth lowest municipal taxes. - Lowest user fees. - Lowest population. - Second lowest median income. Amongst recommendations made public, the report advised: - stabilizing the turnover rate of the CAO position. - no changes to CUPE wage levels. - Organizational structure and ratio of manag-
news ers to staff is appropriate for the size and range of services provided. - Hire a full time receptionist as village business begins to improve. - Ensure that supervisory staff have on-going supervisory training. - Continue to team build through quarterly staff and annual strategic meetings. - Foreman should continue weekly meetings to address staff challenges and communicate weekly work plan. “It tells me we are pretty much where we thought we would be in terms of staffing levels and our financial situation,” said Keremeos Mayor Manfred
Bauer. “Our relationship with the regional district with shared services works well for us.” Bauer said in light of the review’s report on salaries, council would be taking a look at management position salaries in hopes of addressing the high turnover rate. “Any changes made to this year’s budget will not result in further increases,” Bauer promised. Asked if he thought the Diehl’s report represented good value, Bauer said that he felt the village got their money’s worth. “It’s the first core review this village has ever done,” he said, “we need a clear picture of the village’s operations.”

Budget details unveiled at town hall meeting
Approximately 35 people turned up at the Okanagan Falls Seniors Centre for a presentation of the RDOS 2013 budget and an Area “D” town hall meeting.
SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 53 (OKANAGAN SIMILKAMEEN) NOTICE OF KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION 3 January 14 - March 15, 2012 1.
Parents or guardians may register these new students from 3 at the following schools: Monday, January 14 to Friday, March 15, 2012
By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Budget highlights: A Kaleden resident in attendance asked for an explanation for a 130 per cent increase in the Kaleden Recreation Commission’s budget. Kal - Rec Chair, Gwen Owen, replied that the commission was seeking additional monies this year to repair the boat launch, and an additional $45,000 to go towards community hall kitchen upgrades. The commission has applied for matching grant funding for the project, and if the funds aren’t forthcoming, the money will be placed in reserves. Additional funds will be used to upgrade hall electronics, including a large screen, in hopes of attracting convention business. The resident took exception to the huge demand put to taxpayers, reasoning that such projects should be planned in advance, and money accumulated over time in reserve funding. “If you think I’m wrong about these priorities, I’m up for election this year,” responded Owen. The Kal-Rec board currently has five vacancies to be filled. Town Hall Meeting Those in attendance seemed to favour parks and recent efforts by local government to add additional lands to the local park inventory. It was suggested that outlying regions should be compensating Penticton for the many facilities there that receive regional use. Penticton Mayor and RDOS Board Chair Dan Ashton, who was in attendance, described the situation as “give and take,” where Penticton also received benefits from being a hub for many recreational activities. Area “D” Director Tom Siddon, who chaired the meeting, once again used his method of a show of hands to decide on the priority of topics of interest. There was a scattering of interest in the usual Area “D” issues - zoning, the KVR trail, Parks and Recreation, deer management, policing, incorporation, road maintenance and economic development - none of which seemed to be “hot button items.” Keith Barrick, Regional Planner for BC Parks, told the gathering that work was ongoing towards the transfer of Christie Memorial Park to the regional district. He also noted that an environmental assessment was being done on property pur-
chased last summer on Green Mountain Road, adjacent to Okanagan Falls Provincial Park. Ten thousand dollars had been allocated to the property so far, with BC Parks intent to purchase the property from the regional district in the near future. BC Parks could add another 10 sites to the park with aquisition of the property. The park attracted 11,500 visitors last year. Removal of invasive species along the KVR trail between Banbury Green and the new sewer plant in Okanagan Falls began in the fall, as well as some bank reclamation, reported Community Services Manager Mark Woods. Some trees are also being removed along the route north of the trestle for safety and trail allowance reasons. A $250,0000 resurfacing project is scheduled to commence soon. Althought there were some hints given that progress was being made with respect to right of way issues along the KVR corridor north of Alder Avenue in Kaleden, the official report was that there “was not a lot to update.” Bylaw enforcement was also discussed at length during the meeting. It was noted by one resident that bylaws must be enforced or documents like the Official Community Plan doesn’t matter. CAO Bill Newell noted that court was a last resort for residents not complying, because legal action was so costly. Another resident pointed out the need for the regional district to take the initiative on injunctive action where mulitple jurisdictions were involved. It doesn’t look like an incorporation study will be coming to Okanagan Falls anytime soon. A conference call involving CAO Newell, Siddon and former Okanagan Falls Parks and Recreation Chair Bob Daly resulted in a committment from provinical officials to show up at a town hall meeting held last November that was never honoured. Provincial officials have since declared that they cannot attend the Okanagan valley due to budget cutbacks. They requested that Siddon take a vote with a show of hands to see if there was still interest in an incorporation study. A majority of those still present at the meeting indicated a desire to engage in a study.
Children who will be five years old by December 31, 2013, may begin their first year of Primary (Full Day Kindergarten) in September, 2013. These will be children who were born in 2008.
