Spectators offer advice? support? encouragement? during Clyde Camille’s 80 point cow riding effort on board “Brown Eyes” at the 48th Annual Chopaka Jackpot Rodeo on Sunday, April 14. This year’s event paid tribute to the memory of saddlebronc rider Ken Richter, who died last year. More photos on pages 10 and 11.

Skies clear and temperatures rise to make for a pleasant Sunday afternoon in Chopaka The 48th annual Chopaka Jackpot Rodeo took place on Sunday, April 14, a marked departure from past years when the event traditionally took place on Easter Sunday. Pockets of inclement weather filled the Lower Similkameen valley, resulting in a cold, wet beginning to the first local rodeo of the season. Shortly after the start of the event, however, the skies cleared and sunnier weather prevailed for the remainder of the afternoon. A full slate of events included 45 team roping events, calf roping, saddle bronc, ladies barrels and bull riding. This year’s rodeo had several events for youth, including cow riding, pee wee barrels, junior cow riding, wild cow milking, junior barrels and a kid’s calf scramble during intermission.

The event also commemorated the life of Ken Richter, who passed away last year at 64 years of age. Blair Bates provided master of ceremony services, making his first appearance at the Chopaka Rodeo.

Cowboy bringing motivational message Joe Guy is an Australian cowboy who has crossed continents on horseback, riding across the Australian outback as well as parts of the U.S. Guy has overcome tough beginnings to become a motivational speaker, street performer, actor writer, author, promoter and horseman. He brings his motivaltional message to Keremeos, appearing at the Ranch Restaurant on Friday, April 19 and Saturday, April 20. The event begins at 6:30 p.m., admission is by donation.

Official Community Plan draws minor turnout Policy document relatively unchanged after five year review By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Residents of Keremeos had a final opportunity to take a look at and comment on the current Official Community Plan for the Village of Keremeos last week. On April 10, an open house was held at Victory Hall for the final version of the OCP, presented by village council,staff and members of MMM Group, a civic planning group from Kelowna who assisted the village in completing the OCP. The document is considered to be “high level,” that is, an umbrella policy statement that tries to answer the questioins “How do you see

yourself (as a village)? and “How do you see yourself 20 years down the road?” Davin Shillong, Project Manager with MMM Group, told the Review that the OCP process has involved two other open houses prior to the April 10 meeting, in addition to conducting student surveys to Similkameen Elementary Secondary School students. While Shillong said that they weren’t overwhelmed by input from village residents, comments indicated that the previous OCP was working well, and this update included few major changes, other than updating legislative requirements and standards, stemming from provincal legislation such as the carbon tax. “Two per cent is generally what is targetted for resident’s input into matters such as this,” Shillong said, “I’m satisfied that we achieved

that for the Keremeos’ community plan.” The OCP is reviewed, by provincial decree, every five years. The village began reviewing it in the fall of 2011. Some key input from residents included such things as a desire for a vibrant downtown. Villagers want to see the strongest economic sector of the community focussed in the downtown core - which could present an interesting challenge for the village and council, given the downtown core’s present dismal state. Comments were also directed towards issues affecting the seniors’ demographic, a prominent aspect of Keremeos’ residential makeup. Residents are looking for a more “senior friendly” village in terms of access and mobility. Residents also placed a high value on the community’s water quality.

Mine revenue-sharing to benefit Upper and Lower Similkameen Indian Bands Bands to receive share of mineral tax revenue from Princeton area mine Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconcilliation A new revenue-sharing agreement will enable the Upper Similkameen Indian Band and Lower Similkameen Indian Band to benefit from the Copper Mountain Mine, located southwest of Princeton. Through an Economic and Community Development Agreement (ECDA), the two First Nations will receive a share of mineral tax revenues collected by the Province from Copper Mountain. The agreement also contains a comprehensive consultation process that commits to working with the Bands for all potential future mining activity related to the ongoing operation of the Copper Mountain Mine. The agreement is the fifth ECDA that the B.C. government has reached to help First Nations benefit from mining activity within

their traditional territories. These agreements build on the BC Jobs Plan commitment to reach 10 new non-treaty agreements with First Nations by 2015. The Copper Mountain ECDA is the 13th nontreaty agreement the B.C. government has reached since the BC Jobs Plan launch. The agreement also supports the B.C. Jobs Plan commitment to support existing jobs and create new jobs through the expansion of existing mines and the establishment of new mines. The agreement will provide the Upper Similkameen and Lower Similkameen Indian Bands the resources to make community-based decisions regarding how they would like to achieve social and economic objectives, which include enhancing the well-being of their communities and citizens. Upper Similkameen Indian Band Chief Charlotte Mitchell “Our Smelqmix and Syilx Chiefs and Councils have been petitioning the province to share the wealth of

the resources in our territories for a long time (on record since the time of Sir Wilfred Laurier 1910). We see this agreement as a small step in the right direction; it will be very beneficial to our elders and children and our future generations. Many thanks to all of our people that had a part in getting us to this day.” Lower Similkameen Indian Band Chief Robert Edward “Revenue sharing is the concept that our Ancestral Leaders agreed to in 1910 through the Sir Wilfred Laurier Memorial where revenues for resources would be shared on a Government to Government basis. The mineral tax represents a partial sharing of resource benefits to Indigenous Peoples in this area for resources where lands have never been given over, ceded or surrendered. As a cost of doing business, proponents will be expected to fulfil their obligation to contribute to Indigenous peoples for the resources being extracted from portions of traditional territory in which they operate.”

Former Keremeos restauranteur sentenced Inderjit Chima pleads guilty to arson after 2011 argument led to attempt to burn his own business By Kristi Patton Black Press A Keremeos man who attempted to burn down his own business pled guilty, receiving a suspended sentence and 18 months probation. Inderjit Chima was arrested by RCMP at his residence on May 26, 2011 and charged with possession of incendiary material, arson in relation to inhabited property, arson: damage to own property, assault and uttering threats. On Friday he pled guilty to two counts of arson in relation to inhabited property. Two employees of his former restaurant, Riverbed Bistro, called in a complaint to RCMP of arson in progress. Witnesses advised RCMP Chima had poured gasoline around the perimeter of the building threatening to set it on fire.

Crown counsel spokesperson Samantha Hulme said the circumstances laid before the court was that Chima was intoxicated and had an argument with his wife. He got $10 worth of gasoline and poured it on a railing around the outside of the bistro which he and his wife owned. He stated he was going to light it up but did not have anything on his person to set the gasoline on fire and one of his workers took the gas can away from him. At the time of the incident the restaurant was open and there was customers inside as well as four apartments located on the upper floor of the building. Mounties said two male employees intervened and Chima fled the scene on foot after assaulting a family member. Chima was pursued by RCMP who eventually arrested him at his residence. At the time of the incident, RCMP said the only injuries sustained were by the victim of the assault and they were minor. The bistro has since been operating under new ownership.

LiveSmart BC program extended for one year Contributed In partnership with BC Hydro and FortisBC, the Province of British Columbia is extending the popular LiveSmart BC: Efficiency Incentive Program, which gives homeowners up to $3,500 in rebates for energy saving improvements to their homes. The program is extended for one year, until March 31, 2014 and BC Hydro and FortisBC will fund the rebates for their customers. The provincial government will continue to reduce the cost of the initial home energy assessment. The home energy efficiency incentives, which came into effect on April 1, include: * Up to $1,200 for exterior wall insulation, * Up to $1,000 for basement insulation,

* Up to $600 to install attic insulation, and * Up to $400 for air sealing (like weather stripping around doors) and draft proofing. To access the rebates, homeowners must hire a certified energy advisor to conduct an energy efficiency assessment before and after making any eligible improvements. The energy advisor provides a customized report showing the home’s energy efficiency (EnerGuide) rating and upgrade options. This energy assessment must be completed by Dec. 31, 2013. Homeowners can then choose what upgrades they make from the assessment. They have until March 31, 2014 to make any eligible improvements and complete the post-retrofit assessment. The energy advisor will handle all of the paperwork in applying for incentives after the energy assessment.

The Review

Publisher: Mark Walker 605 7th Avenue, Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0

Editorial Facts important in reservoir decision With the Keremeos referendum over a proposed reservoir just days away, it appears there are a number of citizens firmly entrenched in the village, waiting for their opportunity to make their feelings known at the ballot box. At the end of the day, it is taxpayers’ dollars at stake - and since it is their money, no matter which way the vote goes, it will be the right vote. We just hope that the vote - yes or no - is not for all the wrong reasons. The reservoir debate reminds us a little of the provincial debate for the elimination of the HST a couple of years ago. Fueled largely by taxpayer outrage over many other issues, the HST debate was a rallying point for citizens desiring to send politicians a strong message. In spite of all that was bad about the HST, we don’t think the province is better off today without it, once it had been applied. Taxpayers won the battle, but lost the war. We hope that a similar conclusion does not await Keremeos taxpayers over the reservoir issue. It appears to us that a number of salient facts regarding the issue have been ignored during information sessions about the reservoir - facts that, were they to be fully considered by many “no” proponents, might logically force their opinion in the other direction. However, taxpayer anger and emotional response to an issue dear to many residents’ hearts (water) may be interfering with sound reasoning and judgement on the matter. Hopefully common sense and sober rationalization will prevail in this vote - as it always should - to produce a true victory for the residents of Keremeos. Let’s ensure we are finding out the true facts and acting on what we know for sure - rather than taking our frustration for the system out at the ballot box for a victory that turns out to be pyrrhic in nature a few years down the road.

School officials getting raises without reviews By Jordan Bateman Canadian Taxpayers Fed.

In his final days on the job, outgoing auditor general John Doyle cleared off his desk by issuing five important audits. Some, like the scathing report on the thoroughly discredited Pacific Carbon Trust, received a lot of public attention. Others, like one on school board governance, did not. But buried in that school board audit was a Doyle nugget that should send chills down taxpayers’ spines. The auditor general looked into three school districts – the massive Surrey School District, which is responsible for nearly 70,000 students, Mission School District, with more than 6,000 children, and Cariboo-Chilcotin School District, with 5,200 students. Doyle discovered that none of the three school boards were properly evaluating their performances – or the work of their superintendents, the district’s top staffer. “Consistent with good

practices, boards should evaluate their own performance and that of the superintendent,” Doyle wrote. “None of the boards we reviewed has been evaluating its own performance in fulfilling its governance responsibilities, or conducting annual evaluations of superintendent performance.” One can extrapolate that most school boards across the province work the same way, without annual performance reviews for its chief executive and avoiding any independent look at their own job performance. This is not in the best interests of the employee, students, taxpayers or the board itself. Performance reviews are an important opportunity for trustees and the superintendent to chart progress, set goals, identify challenges and clarify expectations. It is a vital and standard human resources tool. Despite not receiving regular reviews, many superintendents somehow manage to keep getting

raises. Surrey’s Michael McKay made $218,284 last year, up nearly 6 per cent from $206,038 in 2011. Mission superintendent of schools Frank Dunham was on a leave of absence from his $175,000 a year job for several months before being fired in January. He is now suing the district. Cariboo-Chilcotin superintendent Diane Wright made $147,536 last year, up 6 per cent from $139,030 the year before. Richmond’s Monica Pamer went from $162,204 in 2011 to $183,542 last year. That’s a 13 per cent jump. To put those salaries into context, B.C. education minister Don McRae earned $144,221 in 201112. President Barack Obama’s education secretary, Arne Duncan, took home $179,700. Neither portfolio received a raise. School trustees and superintendents may bristle at the suggestion that top education staffers don’t deserve pay increases. But how can they defend that position when they fail to

evaluate their top employees every year? Raises seem to be in vogue. The province’s deputy education minister, James Gorman earned $248,962 last year, up nearly 9 per cent from $228,942 the year before. It is Gorman’s ministry which is ultimately responsible for guiding school districts to improve their evaluation processes, as suggested by the auditor general: “We recommend that the Ministry of Education work with the Board Resourcing and Development Office to customize and communicate expectations for school board governance practices, including financial and risk management, competency assessment, and board and superintendent evaluation.” Parents and taxpayers should demand these evaluations happen regularly and include a public feedback component. Wise school boards would get ahead of this recommendation and put a process into place sooner rather than later.

Your signature can make a difference To the Editor: Dear valley neighbors, Please consider adding your name to a petition. You can link to it at www.WeCanBC.ca . But do it now. The petition will be forwarded to key persons this week – Friday April 19. This week is BC’s “Violence Against Women Prevention Week”. Our province has spoken strongly to this important issue for years. That’s commendable. Yet, as reported by the action group We Can BC, the 2013 Provincial budget includes zero increases to insure victims of domestic and sexual violence have access to life saving support services, no funds for safe housing, no support for programs that help abusers change their behavior, and nothing for primary prevention programs. For the past 15 years both the present and the previous government have cut funding for all of the programs and services which help women, children, and families. Five minutes ago, as I write this letter from my Victim Services office in our RCMP detachment building, I heard the sobs of a young woman who was reporting her assault to the police. It was a timely and emotional reminder to me that violence toward women – of all ages – continues not only throughout the world, the nation, and the province, but here in our own community. So please join me in signing the petition. This week is also an appropriate time to remind you of the services that are available

locally. Among them are “Stop the Violence Women’s Counseling” and “Children Who Witness Abuse Counseling” – free services just a phone call away at 250-499-2352, and RCMP Victim Services at 250-499-5511. Each of these is under the umbrella of LSCSS ( Lower Similkameen Community Services.) Last year our own PVPP (the lower Similkameen’s Proactive Violence Prevention Project) was instrumental in launching “Change For Good” – the newest related program in our area. CFG is a free counseling and support service for both male and female spousal abusers who wish to address and stop their abusive behaviors. The service is offered both in Keremeos and in Penticton, and can be reached at 250-4885939. And if you prefer support regarding domestic or sexual assult from a non-local or a non-police-related service, you can contact SOVAS (South Okanagan Victim Assistance) at 250-493-0800. Let me also acknowledge and thank the one-hundred-plus men who comprise PVPP’s “Men Together Initiative”, and whose united stand against domestic violence gave support to find funding for their natural outgrowth, “Change for Good”. If you are a male age 16 or over and have not yet joined “Men Together”, I invite you to get on board. Contact me at 250-499-5511 to add your name and sign our pledge: “I pledge never to commit, condone, or remain silent about violence to women and children.” Ron Shonk, PVPP Coordinator

911 infrastructure upgrades not much of an improvement To the Editor: I’ve noticed several media reports recently regarding the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen’s fire service radio upgrade and that some of the fire chiefs and directors are unhappy with it. Osoyoos has even gone so far as to enquire with Surrey Fire Department, for a quote on dispatching for Osoyoos and pulling out of the Kelowna system. Whether this is possible, remains to be seen but it’s obvious that they are not satisfied with what is transpiring. Summerland is also on record as voting against the changes; they will have to share a radio link under the new plan, whereas they have had their own for the past 10 plus years; that’s an upgrade? I don’t know how the Penticton directors voted but you would think that they would be against it, as there will be little to no benefits to Penticton, plus we the taxpayers have to pay 42 per cent of that upgrade bill of 1.6 million dollars (that’s the agreed upon formula). Few people know how much Penticton actually lost in the initial move to Kelowna dispatch, but it was substantial. Several fire and city radio channels were dropped and a

host of other important services eliminated or contracted out. Yet we in Penticton still pay the same percentage? Something is very wrong. I clearly recall the question that Director John Vassalaki asked at the RDOS board meeting in July 2011: “Will the extra services that Penticton supplies be supplied by Kelowna?” The answer given by Dale Kroenebusch was: “Anything omitted would be included”. What kind of a reply is that? In another article the RDOS emergency services supervisor assured the board that Kelowna would provide the same services as Penticton currently does and suggested as an assurance the board should put forward with the contract an expectation of service and benchmarks expected to be met. This has never been the case as far as most people are concerned and those responsible for our downgrade should be held accountable. I am reminded of what Howard Beale said in the Movie “Network” - “We’re mad as H_ll and we’re not going to take this anymore!” Allan C.L. Stark, Penticton

Changes coming to the political scene with new NDP candidate To the Editor: The Boundary Similkameen Constituency has a new NDP candidate. His name is Sam Hancheroff and he was here on Monday with Alex Atamanenko, our MP, to meet people around town. He’ll be back to knock on some doors in the next month. The writ will be dropped in a day or so and we’ve been seeing ad nauseam the ads that show Adrian Dix as a hardened criminal who is out to destroy our province. The NDP has unveiled part of its platform by first telling us how they will pay for it – always the first question asked. Both parties have vowed to raise the tax on corporations, and high-income earners (over $150,000 in the NDP’s platform - an amount

most of us can only dream of), and implement an oil and gas carbon tax. Where the NDP differs is they intend to tax the large banks and credit unions. This is something people have been squawking for for a long time. They claim that these taxes will pay for the social programs they are intending to implement. We’ve seen this Liberal government rip up contracts, promise one thing and do another, suck up to minorities in a most condescending way, and prove themselves untrustworthy many times over. If the Liberals get in expect a huge fight over the Enbridge pipeline. With Christy Clark and Harper on the same page we will need to physically stand in the way. Sincerely, Donna Stocker, Cawston

Reservoir facts need emphasis By Kevin Huey Keremeos Irrigation District Thank you to all who took the time to attend the open house April 8. There are some points that I would like emphasize at this time. The Interior Health Authority who is the regulating agency for drinking water has confirmed in writing that the construction of the reservoir will not trigger chlorination of the water system. The reservoir is necessary to ensure that the district can supply the required quantity of water to all the customers at all times for all required purposes including fire protection. Back-up power (generators) whether they are powered by diesel or natural gas does nothing to address the supply issue during peak demand times, and they are only useful during power outages lasting longer than 30 minutes. The capital and operational costs of these generators will greatly exceed the cost of the reservoir over the long term and will provide no benefits to improving the efficiency and addressing the supply concerns of the current water system. One of the residents took the time to distribute a flyer to attendees of the open house citing generators as an alternative to the reservoir and asked people to vote no for the reservoir borrowing bylaw. He also stated that the town of Duncan B.C. had only wells and generators in place.

The reality is that Duncan has (three) reservoirs; (two) that hold 500,000 gallons and (one) that holds 350,000 gallons for a total reservoir storage of 1,350,000 gallons to meet their supply and fire flow requirements. The population of Duncan is twice that of Keremeos but their water demand is considerably less. We were unable to locate a community in B.C. close to Keremeos in size Photo by Steve Arstad that did not have more reservoir storage than Keremeos Vanessa Caverly and Owen McCrae were first place and runner up, respectively, for the does now.

Please direct any questions or comments to the district office 250 499-5651 or by email kid@nethop.net

Sponsorship Opportunities

Volunteers cast a beautiful shadow South Okanagan Volunteer Centre, Wendy Weisner Now in its 71st year, National Volunteer Week is all about volunteer recognition. This year’s celebration takes place the week of April 21 to 27. Volunteers make our communities resilient and our country vibrant. Today, volunteers are involved in more ways than ever. Volunteers complete tasks from smartphones while waiting at the bus stop. They sign and share petitions. They govern organizations as board members. They lead rescue efforts when disasters strike. Every day, Canadians lend a hand to their neighbours and friends. And many of them don’t realize that in doing so they’re volunteering. National Volunteer Week pays tribute to the millions of Canadian volunteers who graciously donate their time and talents to better our communities.

If you already volunteer or are considering volunteering come celebrate the incredible efforts of local volunteers: Monday, April 22 from 3 to 5:30p.m. at Orchard House, 157 Orchard Avenue, Penticton or Thursday, April 25 from 1p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Medici’s Gelateria and Coffee House, 522 Fairview Road, Oliver. This is a time to meet other volunteers and representatives from organizations who depend on volunteers. There will be a variety of activities along with refreshments and door prizes. Local dignitaries have also been invited to join us in this celebration. For further information contact the South Okanagan Similkameen Volunteer Centre at 778-476-5661, toll free 1-888-5765661 or visit our website at www.volunteercentre.info.

The Review, Thursday, April 18, 2013 — Page 15

Mapping the Big Bang

In the 1930’s Georges Lemaitre, a senior Jesuit priest and physicist, proposed that we live in an expanding universe which was at some point in the past in the form of a very small, hot, dense lump.This object then started to expand, developing into the universe we see around us today. He was the first to propose the universe is expanding, although in most modern publications Edwin Hubble seems to have stolen the credit.

The beginning of the expansion, an event now widely called the Big Bang, took place just under 14 billion years ago. The embryo universe was incredibly hot and dense, so much so that it was completely opaque to light, radio waves or any other kind of electromagnetic radiation. If we could have visited it and survived, we would have seen ourselves as being completely surrounded by a uniform, bright, utterly featureless glow. About 380,000 years after the Big Bang, the universe had expanded and cooled enough for atoms to form. At this point it became transparent, so that light and other electromagnetic waves could freely propagate. The radiation that was set free at that time is still present;

we observe it as the “Cosmic Microwave Background” radiation (CMB), which was discovered in 1964 by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson. That they had indeed discovered the CMB was confirmed in 1989 by the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) spacecraft. However, COBE also showed that some areas of the CMB are slightly warmer than others, which is evidence of the beginnings of structure, when the universe ceased being “without form and void”. This discovery led to the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) which was launched in 2001, which yielded far better maps of these first stirrings of star and galaxy formation. Unfortunately, the observations were still not good enough

health health

to try out different ideas for what was going on. So in 2009 the Planck spacecraft was launched. This instrument is providing maps of the CMB with more detail and more sensitivity than ever before. Here are some of the results. The universe is 13.796 billion years old; 4.9 per cent of the material in the universe is baryonic, that is, the stuff we’re made of. Dark matter accounts for 26.8 per cent of the material and dark energy the remaining 68.3 per cent. The maps also suggest that the birth of the first galaxies and stars was the result of ripples moving to and fro that were produced very soon after the Big Bang. These new results are exciting. However, in a backhanded way one of the most exciting things is that these results are only

very slightly different from those obtained earlier. It shows that we are indeed learning valid and scientifically valuable things about what must be the most fascinating period in the history of the universe. Obviously we’ll never understand everything that went on 13.796 billion years ago, but it is rather amazing what we have found out so far. Once we thought we lived on the only world. Now we know there are countless other worlds. Once we thought we lived in the only galaxy, now we see countless galaxies. Do we live in the only universe? Jupiter still dominates the western sky during the evening. Saturn rises around 9 p.m. The Moon will reach First Quarter on the 18th.

A Day On The Farm Contributed FACTOS – Farm And Community Team Okanagan Similkameen invites the general public to a day of tours and meetings on behalf of farm labour. April 22 promises to offer a full spectrum of what matters most to farm workers and farm employers. The itinerary is as follows: - 10 to 10:45 a.m. tour of Loose Bay Campground near Oliver. The Loose Bay Campground was originally planned as a place for farm workers to camp. Directions: from Oliver, take Highway 97 north about five kilometres, turn left onto Seacrest Hill Road, continue to the top of the hill. Campground is at the intersection at the top of the hill. - 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. farm tour (location to be announced). - 12:30 to 2 p.m. lunch with Oliver Mayor Ron Hovanes at the Firehall Bistro. 3488197th Street, Oliver (on Highway 97 across from the 7-Eleven). Please note you will need to pay for your meal. 2:30 to 3:30 pm cherry grower tour at Norton’s Okanagan Harvest, 953 Willowbrook Road, Oliver, BC. - 4 to 5 p.m. vineyard tour at Suncrest Vines, 7361 Tuc-El-Nuit Drive, Oliver, BC. Please note that this farm does not have a sign at the bottom of the drive (the driveway will be marked for this event so you don’t get lost). - 5 to 7 p.m free time (dinner hour). - 7 to 8:30 p.m. Open Forum for farmers and farm workers, Rm #2 at the Oliver Community Centre, 6359 Park Drive, Oliver

(turn east at the corner of Highway 97 and Fairview Road, cross the bridge, Community Centre is on the right). This is an opportunity for farmers and farm workers (both foreign and domestic) to share concerns they have. Draft copies of the booklet “Seasonal Farm Worker Handbook BC South Okanagan and Similkameen” will be available. The booklet is compiled by the FACTOS committee and includes information about how to find a farm job, how to keep a farm job, how to make friends, and how to stay safe on the job and in the community. If you are a farmer, farm worker or concerned citizen you are welcome to attend one or all of the planned activities. For lunch with contributed Mayor Hovanes, please RSVP if possible by calling 250-488-7567. FACTOS is a volunteer committee of local It doesn’t feel much like it this week, but summer is coming - and the extended forecast looks good for the Okanagan - Similkameen. politicians, farm workers, farmers and comEarly predictions are calling for a warm and dry summer for southern B.C., munity-minded individuals with a common but the rest of April doesn’t look good, with cooler and wetter than normal goal of improving communication between conditions expected to prevail for most of the month. farmers and farm workers.

Free “healing words” workshop Workshop is open to public By Ron Shonk RCMP Victim Services Coordinator “The Importance of Language Used When Responding to Victims” is the title of a three-hour workshop Wednesday, April 24, from 6 to 9 p.m., in the multipurpose room of the Keremeos Health Centre, corner of Seventh Avenue and Third Street. The public is invited. “The words we use when responding to persons who have been traumatized can make a significant difference in how and how quickly they recover”, says RCMP Victim Services Coordinator Ron Shonk. “And these persons can be your friends or members of your own family. Any of us can be subject to trauma, whether it be through experiences of crime, accident, or injury. And any of us can also be helpful, especially if we’re sensitized as to how to respond effectively. We are fortunate that Dr. Linda Coates will be here with us to present the workshop”, he says. “In addition to her professional expertise, she is a totally delightful human being.” Dr. Coates has received international recognition for her work on the connection

between violence and language in diverse settings, and as a pioneering researcher and trainer in “Response-Based Practice”. The Wednesday evening event will also provide opportunity to meet and talk with local health professionals, counselors, caregivers, and first-responders from our areas’ fire, search & rescue, and ambulance teams, as we all benefit from Dr. Coates’ practical and eye-opening teachings and skilled workshop facilitation. The event is part of our local observation of National Victims of Crime Awareness Week, arranged by SOVAS (South Okanagan Victim Assistance Society), in cooperation with LSCSS (Lower Similkameen Community Services Society). The presentation is appropriate for persons of high school age and older. There is no charge for the event, which also includes food (Bokbok’s Pizza and Subway Subs) and beverages during the first hour. Posters announcing the evening training are displayed all over town, in the windows of your favorite local businesses. Read them. And then put the event on your personal calendar. The same workshop will be repeated in Penticton on Thursday, April 25, at the Okanagan College Center for Excellence, 583 Duncan Avenue, also at 6p.m.

Warning – information overload! Facebook, Twitter, a thousand different blogs, a million or so websites, a gazillion Google hits – there are so many online information sources available to us, but are they the best places to get the best advice for your needs? Especially when it comes to reliable financial and investment information that accurately answers your questions and provides clear direction you can count on? Not necessarily. Here’s why. It’s easy but … There is a lot of information right at your fingertips but how reliable is it? Key your investment-related question into a search engine and just look at all the websites you have to choose from. You have to sort through a hodgepodge of unfiltered, unverified sources. That can not only be a lengthy and frustrating process, it can also lead you to plenty of poorly researched or incorrect information and a risk you may make decisions based on false evidence or ideas that are not in the best interest of you and your family. It’s one-size-fits-all It can be tough to tell if the information you’ve sourced is correct or not but even if it is, you can be certain the advice was not customized for you. You’re getting information that may not reflect your personal lifestyle and goals or the changes that take place in all of the unique facets of your life over time. Even if you manage to hit on reliable Internet information, how can you tell that it’s right for your specific circumstances? Personal, professional advice is so important. Professional financial and investment information, experience and expertise you can trust puts you at the centre of things where you belong. When you talk to a professional advisor, you get valuable face-to-face advice and recommendations that are an exact fit for your individual circumstances as they are

MANAGING Your Money today and as they evolve into the future. Your advisor quickly becomes your ‘personal’ search engine for investment advice, tax-saving strategies, family protection measures, the best way to pay for your dream home or to save for a fulfilling retirement, and much more – information you can trust to make informed, confident decisions that are right for you. There’s no doubt your computer opens up whole new worlds of information and social contact – but your search for the best financial and investment advice can have only one answer: Your professional advisor.

This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc. (in Québec – a Financial Services Firm), and Investors Group Securities Inc. (in Québec, a firm in Financial Planning) presents general information only and is not a solicitation to buy or sell any investments. Contact your own advisor for specific advice about your circumstances. For more information on this topic please contact your Investors Group Consultant.
