Koyotes receive high praise for team’s behaviour at weekend tournament By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com They didn’t play in the gold medal game, but a Similkameen baseball team made a bigger impression than any victory on the diamond ever could while at a weekend ball tournament in Kelowna. The Kobau Koyotes were playing in the under 14 “Spring Sizzle,” a 16 team tournament that involved ball teams from all over the province. During the final game for the bronze medal the Koyotes were playing the Port Coquitlam Ravens when one of the Ravens’ players sustained a knee injury. “To say it was bad was an understatement, her screams could be heard through to the stands,” wrote Kelly McLeod of Port Coquitlam, “several
ball moms who were nurses rushed to the field trying to make her as comfortable as possible.” Both teams became increasingly upset as they waited at length for the ambulance. As the player was taken away her team lined up in a show of solidarity so that she knew they were behind her. Once the ambulance had taken her away the team was given the option of stopping the game or continuing the game. “We allowed the girls to decide and they said they ‘would do it for Naola,’”(the player who was injured). The Ravens were losing the game, McLeod noted, adding that the game was too far along for them to have much liklihood of catching up. “The girls played the game hard and finished out,” McLeod continued, “and when the teams lined up for the medal awards to the Kobau Koyotes, two exceptional things happened:
- The tournament director brought out a purple medal and noted that it was reserved for home runs. But what Naola just endured was bigger than any home run. - As the first girl from the Koyotes received her medal, she walked directly up to one of the Raven players, gave them her medal and a hug. This happened one by one.” The spontaneous team gesture was highly emotional, as “all my girls were crying,” McLeod said. “This show of solidarity rarely happens.” McLeod also called the team, “a class act.” “We were so shocked by this amazing team. These are times where girls of this age are capable of being so mean to each other (bullying), and when complete strangers come together to make such a statement of solidarity, it needs to be recognized,” McLeod concluded.

Iconic B.C. forest symbol facing extinction Is a logo that is one of the most recognizable symbols of British Columbia slowly vanishing from public view? By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The B.C. Forest Service oval is probably the most definitive symbol of B.C.’s forest service known to the public, having recently celebrated its centennary in 2012. However, recent changes to provincial ministries and a trend towards more generic identification of government ministries and departments is putting pressure on the traditional symbol as an identifier of provincial forestry departments. On October 25, 2010, then B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell announced the creation of a new ministry. In a sweeping change affecting the ministries of energy and mines, agriculture, environment and forests, a new ministry known as Natural Resource Operations was added to the mix. The new ministry did not replace the other ministries so much as it assumed several of the more“operational” functions of each of them. Of all the ministries brought under this “single umbrella” the Forest Service was the largest. The idea behind the move was to streamline government and create a “one stop shop” for permitting. In doing so, the function of the Forest Service became more multifaceted, resulting in a perceived need for a new generic logo that would cover the ministry’s new functions. As a result, the public has since been seeing a new logo replacing the forest service oval in many former Forest Service areas - including one which is much more visible to the public in the summer months - that of the Wildfire Management Branch. Even though the Wildfire Management Branch was made a departmental entity unto itself in 1995, the push for a generic identifying symbol appears to be part of the province’s long term plans. The new symbol appears on many of the branch’s new leased vehicles.Wildfire branch officials in Penticton would not discuss policy issues with the Review, however, it appears that members of the B.C. wildfire team may feel some sentiment towards the oval logo, as there appears to be no hurry by branch staff to replace it on wildfire branch owned vehicles. Kayla Pepper, Fire Information Officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre, Wildfire Management Branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural
Resource Operations, told the Review that “logo policy in place dictates that all new vehicles, stationary and signs used by Wildfire Management Branch will now have the provincial logo with the sunrise. The BC Forest Service oval logo with the tree will remain on all uniforms and apparel.” The forest service logo’s origins begin around the time of Canadian veterans returning home from the First World War (1914-1918). No one knows who designed the first oval, but numerous versions have been created over the years by draughtsmen, mapping assistants and technicans who designed such symbols as the forestry oval in order to make a unique statement about the forest service, in addition to provide an identity to those working in the service. By the late ‘50s the oval had found its way into ministry annual reports, with newer, cleaner versions appearing through the 60s. There was a brief period in the 70s when the oval was replaced with another more modern, up to date graphic that was meant to provide greater visibility to the Forest Service, but the traditional oval eventually made its way back onto forestry business cards, documents, vehicles and websites. The logo remains a stubborn symbol of pride to many in the forest service today, especially in wildfire management. Twenty- five year sterling silver service pins still bear the oval emblem, and in spite of the fact that the ministries of the Forest Service have undergone a long history of change and integration, the oval symbol has continued to survive. With provincial official policy on the venerable oval logo now relegating it strictly to clothing, it raises questions as to how much longer the emblem will be allowed to appear on official attire. If British Columbia’s 100 year old symbol is to last much longer, it may be necessary for members of B.C.s forest industry to look at what recently transpired with their American counterparts, and take similar action. South of the 49th parallel, the U.S. Forest Service has their own iconic logo, established in 1905, which recently faced similar challenges. The Back Forty, a California based publication centred on environmental, land use and other rural issues, noted in early April this of the U.S. Forest Service logo: “For many current and past employees, it is (also) a badge of honour, a reflection of their deep and abiding attachment to their one time or present day roles as stewards of America’s national forests.” The article went on to state: In January, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released its “Visual

Editorial Accountability is the issue As the feeding-at-the-trough hijinks of Senator and former journalist Mike Duffy continues to disgust the nation, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation last week continued to remind us that politicians continue to ignore the larger issue at hand - that of accountability. Under pressure from the unrelenting media pressure related to the scandals in the Upper House, the Senate board met in public for the first time ever to tighten up the rules related to expense claims. Now, senators will actually have to produce a receipt for some expenses. What? That’s right - prior to the “tightening” of the rules, senators did not have to produce receipts for all expenses. Similar rules apply to MPs. Canadians need to protest loudly, and immediately - the lack of rules that seem to be based on some kind of archaic, elitist notion that people appointed to these positions are somehow more honourable or trustworthy than the rest of the unwashed masses. The CTF is currently calling for the Harper government to pass the Private Members Bill by MP John Williamson, (Conservative – New Brunswick Southwest). The bill, entitled The Protecting Taxpayers and Revoking Pensions of Convicted Politicians Act, would take away the Parliamentary pension from any MP or senator convicted of a serious crime, including stealing from taxpayers. It looks like the Duffy case has exposed a raw nerve within the Canadian public. That’s good - we hope the publicity and pressure continues - until Duffy is gone from the senate for good, and accountability is forced upon everyone who has access to public funds.

Enbridge pipeline isn’t dead yet By Tom Fletcher Black Press One of Premier Christy Clark’s first tasks of the new term will be to resume trade talks with Alberta and Saskatchewan. Several daunting tasks await. Clark must repair relations with Alberta Premier Alison Redford after B.C.’s theatrics over oil pipelines before the election, and prepare for the results of a federal environmental review of the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal in the fall. Some people were surprised on Friday when the B.C. government released its final written submission to the federal environmental review panel on Northern Gateway. It was widely interpreted as B.C.’s outright rejection of the project, but it’s not as simple as that. Clark and B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake signalled several times before the election that they were not getting the answers they wanted from
Enbridge. But they stuck to the principle that the hearings must be completed. The NDP repeated for months that the B.C. Liberal government had forfeited its own review and handed jurisdiction over the environmental assessment to Ottawa. In fact, a pipeline that runs across two provinces is by definition a matter of federal jurisdiction. B.C. could have held its own parallel set of hearings, which was the NDP’s stated preference, but in no circumstance does the province have a veto. And both the B.C. Liberal government and Enbridge were careful to leave the door open for further talks. A closer reading of their comments shows that the key difference at this stage is one of timing. “The panel must determine if it is appropriate to grant a certificate for the project as currently proposed on the basis of a promise to do more study and planning after the certificate is granted,” Lake said. “Our government does not believe that a cer-
tificate should be granted before these important questions are answered.” According to Enbridge executive Janet Holder, those important questions can’t all be answered until the hearings are over. The company maintains that every river crossing and spill response plan can’t be done in detail during the two-year hearings. B.C.’s final submission runs to nearly 100 pages. It goes into detail on the inconsistencies and unanswered questions on such vital topics as whether diluted bitumen can sink in water. In short, the province argues that it can sink if the oil is in fresh water, or if it is exposed to weathering so lighter fractions evaporate, or if it is mixed with sediments that increase its density. These are pertinent conditions if heavy oil were to leak into a river in springtime, when water runs fast and cold and brown with sediment. Then there are the obstacles presented by responding to a spill in remote wilderness and

heavy snow. Given both provincial and aboriginal opposition in B.C., the Enbridge pipeline is unlikely to be imposed, and last week Conservative cabinet minister James Moore clearly ruled that out. The B.C. government has consistently maintained that the current project does not meet Clark’s often-repeated five conditions, including the vaguely defined “fair share” of revenues, and Moore said the federal government agrees with those conditions. The B.C. government has to face some other uncomfortable realities as well. If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. manage the one that has stretched across remote and populated areas for 60 years? Does the government take a stand against new pipelines, and then watch as rail cars full of heavy oil cross those same rivers? No permit is required for that, and in fact there are more hazardous materials than oil moving by rail and road across the province today.

Keremeos residents pay unwarranted late payment fee Post dated cheques to Village of Keremeos for sewer services not deposited to bank in time, ratepayers subjected to late fee By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com A number of Keremeos municipal taxpayers may have paid an additional $25 on their sewer bill due to an error by the village office. Keremeos resident Darlene Sutton told the Review Friday that she had written a post dated cheque for September 30, 2012, for her sewer payment in the order of $235. A few days after the cheque’s due date, Sutton realized the cheque hadn’t yet cleared her bank account. Her husband, Ted, went to the village office to inquire about the payment, and was told that the village would look into the matter. The following day, the Suttons were told that the cheque did not get deposited to the bank due to an oversight on the part of the village. The Suttons’ cheque eventually cleared on Octo-

ber 11 - late for the payment - through no fault of their own. However, when this year’s municipal assessment arrived, Darlene noticed that the bill contained a penalty for $23.50 - for late payment of sewer fees. It took the Suttons a week to get back to the village about the error, as they were looking after family matters in the Lower Mainland. Ted returned to the village office, only to be told that he would need proof that the Suttons had paid the bill on time - which meant another trip back home to retrieve the bill. Finally, upon viewing their latest statement from the village, the Suttons noticed that the balance still showed the penalty - so back to the village office to get that corrected. In the past few days, Sutton said that she has run into several people who claim that they had a late payment fee deducted. Keremeos resident Eleanor “Bundie” Page experienced a similar issue after hearing Sutton’s story. “I had sent a post dated cheque for sewer payment as well,” she told the Review. “If Darlene hadn’t told me about it, I wouldn’t
have noticed the late payment fee.” Both parties wondered how many other Keremeos ratepayers were unfairly penalized, urging those who sent post dated cheques to the village for their sewage notice to check their bill for late payment charges. The Review asked Keremeos Chief Administrative Officer Laurie Taylor in an email sent May 31, and again on June 3 and 4 asking why there was such a long delay in acting on the matter and how many village residents were affected. She had this to say about the problem on June 3: “Apparently there was a glitch in posting the penalty on the outstanding sewer bills last fall and that problem has taken time to fix. Staff had already been working on the necessary corrections and adjustments prior to the issue being raised by the residents. At the time Mrs. Sutton brought it to our attention, the adjustments had not been posted to the affected tax accounts as we needed to ensure the problem had been corrected. The adjustments have now been posted and we are confident the issue has been resolved.”

Monopole controversy larger than a yes or no to cell service To the Editor: For many in Hedley, the issue isn’t simply a yes or no to cell service. The range of cell service is still undetermined based on the site location – we know it won’t have a wide breadth, and the two other poles erected along Highway 3 will likely service many residents around Hedley. The site location of the monopole in Hedley’s downtown is being contested by many town folk for a number of reasons. Originally, Telus’ only site choice was central Main Street (Scott Avenue); the monopole would obstruct the existing sightlines of the Mascot Mine from the Hedley Museum, the vista of the mountains, and would certainly detract from the old-timey feel that makes Hedley a magical place to many. Finally, the proposed site and proximity to its neighbours poses health concerns to some. Telus has options to the site location of the monopole; Telus could explore the option to co-locate with China Creek’s facility which transmits an internet signal into town from across the Similkameen River. Industry Canada suggests that co-location should always be considered. In February, after the Telus/StandardLand open house in Hedley, Telus/StandardLand
gave concerned Hedley residents a “take it or leave it attitude” in regards to their concerns. All along, Ms. Wood requested Telus to honor the standards set forth in the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association best-practices guidelines and to follow protocols – including examining the potential of co-locating before new sites are developed and requesting more time to address the concerns of her constituents and to find solutions in order to bring service to Hedley. For those who seek the information, this dialogue between Wood and Telus working toward bringing cell service to Hedley is ongoing. When Elef Christensen and his cronies threw down a petition at the RDOS board meeting (May 23) and expected immediate action which would compromise the existing negotiations, they demonstrated a dark side of democracy energized on personal vendetta. Ms. Wood is doing an excellent job engaging with the citizens of Hedley and Olalla and taking on issues as they present themselves: just watch her take on giant corporations like Telus and Fortis on our behalf. Kim & Andy English, Hedley, B.C.
Conflicting tales over Hedley cell tower issue To the Editor: I just received a letter from Ms. Wood, Area “G” Director regarding cell service for Hedley, dated May 27. She has suggested alternative sites which are being considered and investigated by Telus. According to Telus Media Relations representative Shawn Hall, an alternative site would be too prohibitive to make another location viable. It was also confirmed by Eric Sieto of CHBC news that Telus is not looking at other site locations. Director Wood stated in the Review May 30 that she has been working with Telus general manager for some time to consider other options, and in the next few weeks engineers will be out in the field (would that be corn or grass fields) looking at the possibilities of co-locating their hardware on existing sites that already service Hedley. According to Ms. Wood’s “magic wand” and self centred agenda, residents will be receiving cell service without the erection of a monopole in the downtown core. According to her RDOS bio, Ms. Wood supports Similkameen wide sustainable business, cultural and tourism strategies. Try
selling a house when the buyer will not have smart phone or I phone coverage. The last three buyers to purchase a home in Hedley have signed the petition for cell phone service. I would also like to point out that the “nay” petition had mostly post office box numbers without their area locations as well as children that were also on this list of 49 against cell phone service. Malcolm McNaughton, RDOS Planner, apparently scrutinized only the “yes” petition and not the “nay” petition that Ms. Wood presented to the board of directors in March. Could it possibly be that Mr. McNaughton had “negative” guidance in response to the “yes” petition that was presented at the May 16 directors meeting. One last item in Ms. Woods RDOS bio is “promoting even better and more innovative use of yard waste and recycling, which was closed down last year as it became a fire hazard; so now, with no contingency plan, there will be no yard waste pick up in all of Area “G” until September 20. Neil MacLeod, Hedley
Voter hopes MLA will show leadership in home riding To the Editor: Open letter to Linda Larson First of all I want to congratulate you on becoming the representative for Boundary-Similkameen constituency. I attended the all-candidates’ forum in Keremeos and questioned you about the Buy BC program which was cancelled almost immediately after the Liberals won power. This program was brought in under an NDP government in 1993 and was very popular in this area. I see that the Liberal government has a program called Buy Local. I think that’s a great idea but the Liberal government is not following its own guidelines. I understand that the residents of Orchard Haven are eating food that comes from a big food conglomerate in Vernon. We have a thriving little agricultural val-
ley right here in the Similkameen. The residents could be eating food picked that very day. Instead they get frozen meals that have to be transported for many kilometers and then reheated. I find this practice appalling. How on earth does that make sense? Not nutritionally, certainly not environmentally, and not community-wise in any way. I hope you will advocate for our area in this respect. Jobs are important but where they are is also important. Small communities can use all the help they can get and more jobs at home would be an excellent start. Ours is an agricultural community with many extremely good growers. Where does Vernon get the food that is prepared there to be sent here? Sincerely, Donna Stocker, Cawston

Two versions to Hedley cell tower issue By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Controversy continues to swirl in Hedley over a proposed siting of a Telus cellular tower. A number of Hedley residents have recently signed a petition urging regional district endorsement of a Telus proposal to erect a monopole in the centre of town, criticizing Hedley Director Angelique Wood for her insistance that Telus consider other possible locations for the tower. A recent news story by CHBC reporter Eric Szeto added to the controversy last week when his news clip included Telus Media Relations representative Shawn Hall’s comments regarding Telus’ plans to study alternative locations. In the telephone interview, Hall insisted that Telus was
not moving ahead with any plans for cellular service in the community. However, that communication appears to directly contradict a May 23 telephone conversation between Director Wood and Telus Customer Solutions General Manager Steve Jenkins, who told Woods that Telus had reviewed the Hedley issue and would have a field assessment done towards the latter part of the last week of May. He further told Wood that an original assessment with respect to co-locating on a nearby China Creek tower didn’t meet Telus’ specs for structural and architectural capabilities, however, the field assessment would look at it and other alternatives. Neither Steve Jenkins or Shawn Hall were available for comment at presstime.

607 5th Street, Keremeos 250-499-5451 Services 2nd & 4th Sundays at 10 a.m. A welcome to all to come & worship & enjoy the fellowship of the Church
The grade 4 classes of Cawston Primary School were amongst the first to swim in Keremeos municipal pool on Monday, June 3. The youngsters seemed oblivious to the cool, poolside breeze that was part of the morning weather. Instructors Hannah Vesper, Cody Turple and Nicky Lawrence provided direction to the students.
Cosmic Shadows
On May 10, those lucky enough to be in Northern Australia or in the Southern Pacific Ocean got a treat. They saw the Moon pass in front of the Sun, covering most of the solar disc, except for the outer edge, forming for a minute or so a fiery ring in the sky. These events are known as “annular eclipses”. Annulus is Latin for “ring”. We on Earth enjoy something unique in the Solar System and maybe even in the Universe. In our skies the Moon looks the same size as the Sun. Of course the Sun is enormously larger than the Moon, but it is by some strange cosmic coincidence proportionally further away. Also, because the orbits of
the Earth around the Sun and the Moon around the Earth lie almost in the same plane, the Moon sometimes moves between us and the Sun, blocking it out, giving us an “eclipse of the Sun”. When the bright, solar disc is covered, we get to see parts of the Sun usually lost in the glare. We see prominences – great arches of glowing gas supported in magnetic fields, and the pearly streamers of the solar corona, gas so hot, millions of degrees, that it emits little light. Astronomers flock to eclipses to make observations that are impossible at any other time. There are two issues that make these events rarer. Firstly, the Moon’s path around the Earth is elliptical, not circular, so its distance from us varies. When the Moon is at its closest it blocks out the solar disc and some of the surrounding sky, so we get longer eclipses but might not see the solar structures at the edge of the bright disc quite as well.

However, when the Moon is at its farthest point from us it is too small in our sky to completely cover the solar disc, so we don’t get to see those interesting structures in the solar atmosphere. What we see then is fascinating but not as scientifically useful. The middle part of the solar disc is covered, leaving the edge, as that glowing ring those lucky enough to be in the right place saw on May 10. This brings us to the other downside of our solar eclipses. Because the Moon looks almost exactly the same size as the Sun in our sky, there is only a tiny bit of the Earth’s surface where we see the Sun completely covered. Because the Moon is moving in its orbit, this tiny spot of shadow moves across the Earth’s surface forming the eclipse track. Observers go to points on the track, set up their instruments, and wait for the Moon’s shadow to pass over them. This will take around two minutes. Solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth. Friday

Another possibility is for the Earth to pass between the Moon and Sun. When this happens, the Earth’s shadow falls on the Moon. However, the Earth is nearly four times the diameter of the Moon, so we look much larger in the Moon’s sky than it looks in ours. Our shadow is much larger, so the Moon takes much longer to pass through it: hours rather than minutes. We would expect this to render the Moon completely dark, but our atmosphere bends sunlight around the curve of the Earth and onto the Moon. If our atmosphere is clean, the Moon looks a lovely copper colour; on the other hand, if it is particularly polluted, the Moon will look a dull, ashy, grey. Venus and Mercury lie low in the west after sunset. Jupiter is lost in the glare. Saturn is in the southern sky overnight. The Moon will be New on the 8th.

It seems obvious that the best way to achieve your financial and retirement goals is having access to sound financial advice grounded in a comprehensive financial plan. Among other things, financially advised households are twice as likely to save for retirement at all ages; have significantly higher levels of investable assets at all ages; improve their regular saving for retirement at all income levels; rate themselves as more financially knowledgeable; and are more comfortable making the financial decisions they need to make to plan for their future.* Recent research* on the financial situation of Canadians, our savings and investment behavior, and our attitudes toward retirement and savings advice has demonstrated the significant value of delivering financial advice to the public, at all income and asset levels:: ◘Advice has a positive and significant impact on financial assets. ◘Advisors perform tasks vital in the financial lives of their clients including improved financial literacy, developing a culture of savings and investment, developing and executing a financial plan, selecting appropriate financial vehicles and products and improving investment decision-making. ◘Advice positively impacts retirement readiness. ◘Canadians trust their advisors, feel positive toward them, and feel more confident they will have enough money to retire comfortably. A comprehensive financial plan should include investment planning, cash flow planning, education planning, estate planning, insurance planning, retirement planning, and income tax planning – and here’s the key - to be successful, your plan must be tailored to you. It makes sense to seek the advice of a financial advisor who will take you through this six-step planning process: 1. Goal setting – to define and prioritize your goals and concerns. 2. Data gathering – gathering all the pertinent financial information to understand your current financial situation. 3. Financial analysis – analysing the data to determine whether you are on track to achieve your financial life goals, and to identify alternative strategies to achieve those goals. This includes a review of how to reduce your taxes; whether you’ll have enough income to cover your retirement expenses; and strategies for protecting your family and income
For more information call the Review at 250-499-2653
MANAGING Your Money should you become disabled or die unexpectedly. 4. Plan formulation and recommendations – developing a written financial plan which contains recommendations and an action plan for achieving your financial goals and improving your overall financial life. 5. Plan implementation – taking action to implement the solutions that have been agreed upon. 6. Monitoring and plan review – financial planning is not a one time event. You should review your plan regularly, ideally at least annually or as major life events occur. These six straightforward steps are a great start on building your personal financial plan. Be sure you get the advice you need by talking to a financial advisor with the team, qualifications and tools you can count on. *IFIC Value of Advice Report 2012.
