Young man dies, brotherfaces charge

While the RCMP piece together the circumstances sur-rounding the homicide of 20-year-old Reece Dillenger Lou-ie, his brother Kyle Louie faces a second degree murder charge.

Reece Louie died following an altercation at a Black Sage Road residence on Saturday, Feb. 19 at about 3 p.m.

Oliver RCMP received a 911 call about a disturbance at the home on the Osoyoos Indian Band reserve.

“The caller was distraught and reported that they re-quired urgent police attendance,” said RCMP media rela-tions offi cer Cpl. Dan Moskaluk.

On arrival, police located Reece lying injured outside the residence.

“Offi cers immediately applied fi rst aid to the man, noting that he was suffering serious injuries and bleed-ing heavily,” Moskaluk said. The victim was reportedly stabbed.

Paramedics transported Reece to South Okanagan Gen-eral Hospital and then onto Kelowna General Hospital. He died later that evening.

Police took the precautionary measures of cordoning off a large section of Black Sage Road (in the 33,000 block) on Saturday afternoon in order to secure the area and ensure public safety.

Moskaluk said it was determined that a second man in his 20s, who was believed to have been in the residence at the time of the disturbance, had left the home. Oliver RCMP subsequently located 22-year-old Kyle Louie and ar-rested him without incident. He was initially arrested for aggravated assault, but the charge was upgraded to mur-der when it was learned that Reece had died.

Moskaluk said investigators believe that Kyle killed his younger brother in the altercation. However, it is un-known what the dispute was about.

An autopsy was scheduled to take place at Penticton Re-gional Hospital on February 22.

Local investigators have sought the expertise from the Alberta RCMP forensic section in order to complete a thor-ough examination of the scene, including blood spatter analysis.

An emotional Kyle Louie appeared in Penticton court on Monday, where family and friends offered support. He was remanded in custody for 30 days so that a psychiatric as-sessment can be completed.

Councillor raises confl ict of interestissue with blog publisher Bennest

Town Councillor Michael Newman has sparked a debate in Oliver with a belief that a fellow councillor is in “confl ict of interest” by publishing a daily news blog.

Newman contends that Councillor Jack Ben-nest, who publishes Oliver Daily News, has an unfair advantage over other media, and his re-lease of information has a “detrimental impact” on council.

But Bennest doesn’t believe his dual role puts him in a confl ict situation.

Bennest excused himself from a Committee of the Whole meeting on February 14 before Newman addressed the issue. Bennest said he wasn’t previously made aware of the content of Newman’s presentation, which Councillor Marji Basso said was more like a “10-minute speech.”

Newman said Bennest is in the forefront of breaking news in Oliver by having “insider in-formation” about what goes on in Council. Ben-

nest often writes about Council news as it hap-pens, and he gets this information before other media outlets and the general public, Newman pointed out.

The councillor noted the issue came to a head when Bennest, representing the Town, attended a special meeting with the Osoyoos Indian Band on February 1.

Bennest subsequently published a story, link-ing the OIB with a deer cull in Oliver when it was the Town’s initiative.

“I am quite prepared to admit that my small article on the OIB may have been a simple mis-take with no intent to do any damage,” said Ben-nest.

But Newman cited the Community Charter, saying a member of council cannot use informa-tion (that is not available to the general public) for the purpose of gaining a pecuniary (mone-tary) interest. He noted that a person who con-travenes this section is disqualifi ed from hold-ing offi ce.

“I’m not looking for Councillor Bennest to be

frog-marched out of council chambers by the police or for him to be removed from offi ce. I’m just looking for some assurance that everything that happens within our corporation isn’t the private domain of Oliver Daily News.”

Newman said one remedy is for Oliver Daily News to stop carrying advertising, thereby elim-inating the issue of pecuniary interest. But his preferred option is for Bennest not to run in the upcoming offi ce. This is what Newman did 25 years ago when he was serving as Area C direc-tor. He entered an agreement to purchase the Oliver Chronicle and announced he would not run in the upcoming election because he viewed that as confl ict of interest.

Bennest said he has always taken the position to report on news that is in the public domain.

“Every day I receive emails on in-camera, per-sonnel, land matters, contract negotiations, etc., that never see the light of day.”

But Bennest assured that all future reporting on council matters will be handled by Oliver

Council briefs Police briefsCrokinole Clif cajoles council

The game of crokinole is growing faster than players can handle.

So said crokinole fanatic Clif Antypowich at a recent meeting of Council.

He asked how many council members were registered for the BC Open Crokinole Championship in Oliver next month. There was no show of hands, but Antypowich said there is just about one crokinole board in every household today.

He told Council he envisions that, with the right pro-motion, Oliver could host a world championship event. In the meantime, he’s looking for groups to help sponsor the March 19 championship.

For more information, call 250-498-0304.

Town amends cemetery bylaw

Council is giving the nod to a 10 per cent overall increase in revenues at the Oliver Cemetery.

This means cemetery fees (in plot sales) will change to refl ect this increase.

Councillor Michael Newman said the cemetery is subsi-dized in excess of $25,000 and is running a defi cit.

Municipal Manager Tom Szalay said fees haven’t gone up for at least two years.

Newman said meetings have been scheduled to look at how to improve cemetery operations. This includes input from local funeral directors

Councillor Terry Schafer said it really bothers him that future generations will have to look after our gravesites. He noted people in Japan have small shrines in their back-yards, which don’t cost fellow taxpayers anything.

Xeriscape project approved

Public Works will proceed with using $10,000 from the Communities In Bloom budget to complete a new xeriscap-ing project in town.

The project is slated for the intersection of 99 Street and 97 Street (across from Lions Park).

The entire CIB budget for 2011 is $25,000.

Town orders new banners

Council approved releasing $14,000 for staff to order the Town’s new spring/summer banners.

One of the banners shows an illustration of a canoeist, while another shows a quail with a vineyard in the back-ground. The colours consist of green, blue, red and yellow.

Councillor Marji Basso said she’s not happy with the co-lours, hoping they would be more vibrant. She also isn’t crazy about the canoeist, but she likes the cute little quail.

Mayor Pat Hampson asked if there was any consider-ation in changing the Town fl ag.

“So moved,” Councillor Jack Bennest quipped, noting the fl ag looks rather drab in blue and yellow.

Council agreed to look at updating the corporate fl ag for the Town.

Town to conduct 2011 election

Despite staff shortages, Council has decided that the Town will conduct the fall election as opposed to contract-ing it out.

Council discussed the option of paying the RDOS to over-see and run the 2011 election considering the Town’s cor-porate services and fi nancial departments are short staffed with a growing workload.

Staff noted the disadvantage of contracting this job out is the loss of local expertise.

There was some discussion about mail-in ballots and having additional advance polls for people who go south for the winter.

Town invited to host Games

The BC Seniors Games Society has invited the Town to submit a bid to host either one or both of the 26th and 27th annual BC Seniors Games in 2013 and 2014.

Council voted to forward the invitation to the Oliver Parks and Recreation Society.

‘Wham bam’ disgusts mayor

The resolutions process at last fall’s UBCM convention left Mayor Pat Hampson fi t to be tied in once instance.

Hampson said the UBCM combined the goose population control issue with deer population control, a move that stymied debate. Osoyoos Mayor Stu Wells stood up and re-quested the two issues be dealt with separately. But he was criticized for his stance, and Hampson’s microphone was cut off, according to the Oliver mayor.

“I was peeved. The procedure was disgusting . . . we were railroaded ‘wham bam.’ If you don’t like it, tough,” Hamp-son said, referring to the attitude he witnessed.

Councillor Jack Bennest said he was at the Oliver Airport recently trying to take photographs, but could hardly take any because of all the geese in the way.

Five escape injury

Five people involved in a two-vehicle collision in Oli-ver last week luckily escaped injury.

Oliver RCMP responded to the accident on Road 4 at Highway 97 on February 17 at approximately 3:12 p.m.

A 1992 truck was westbound on Road 4 and making a right turn to head north on Highway 97 when it collided with a 2011 Mercedes-Benz that was attempting to over-take the truck on the right.

The 17-year-old driver of the Mercedes-Benz, from Oliver, claimed the truck’s right turn signal was not acti-vated, so she assumed the driver was turning left.

The truck’s driver, a 47-year-old man from Oliver, was not injured. The 17-year-old and her three passengers also escaped injury.

Distracted drivers charged

South Okanagan Traffi c Services charged 15 motor-ists who were distracted by the use of electronic devices while driving recently.

Corporal Bryce Petersen said the Valentine’s Day blitz focused on motorists who were using cell phones and other devices while driving. This behaviour is illegal and has been for a year now. But many people are still doing it.

“For the safety of yourself and other motorists, please don’t text, talk on the cell, or handle your electronic de-vice while operating a vehicle,” Petersen said.

Other charges that day included three for speeding, 40 for not wearing seatbelts, three for vehicle defects, two for drug seizures, and four for intersection violations.

One arrest warrant was executed, and one motorist was charged for obstructing a police offi cer.

Town executes 75-year lease with helicopter firm

It’s not often you hear Municipal Manager Tom Szalay excited in Council chambers.

But he had a good reason on February 14, and it had nothing to do with love.

“I’m very excited about this,” he said, referring to a

75-year, eight-month prepaid lease with Transwest Heli-copters Ltd. (He did refrain from doing the happy dance, though.)

In 2008 staff commenced airport lease negotiations with the Chilliwack company. It was deemed a high priority project, but negotiations were postponed at the request of Transwest. But talks resumed in late 2010 and have now successfully concluded.

The company desires to lease a portion (one acre) of air-port land for the purpose of constructing an aircraft han-gar and operating commercial flight service and perform-ing aircraft maintenance.

The proposed lease area is located on the west side of the airport between the VMR lease area and the private hangars to the south. The lease allows the storage, main-tenance and repair of either fixed wing or rotary wing

aircraft, or both, and the operation of a private and com-mercial flight service involving fixed wing or rotary wing aircraft.

At $3.20 per square foot, the applicable prepaid rent amount is $141,222.

“They plan to go full speed with development in Oliver,” Szalay said, noting the company owns a couple of helicop-ters.

Councillor Michael Newman said the lease was definite-ly exciting news for economic development, tourism, and jobs.

Transwest Helicopters spokesman Ernst-Ulrich Maas said he appreciated the interest in the project, but would prefer not to expand on the issue until plans have been firmed up more.


SPCA responds to rancher conviction

Oliver resident Rudolph Harfman has been convicted of animal cruelty under the Criminal Code of Canada follow-ing a BC SPCA investigation dating back to 2006.

Harfman was charged with animal cruelty after BC SPCA constables seized 121 cattle, four sheep and a donkey from his property. The animals were emaciated and were suf-fering from ringworm, lice, internal parasites and a num-ber of other health issues. In addition to the animals who were seized, SPCA officers found a mass grave with the car-casses of at least 35 dead animals, some impregnated with full-term calves.

“We attended the property and were told by Mr. Harf-man that if we wanted to see the animals we’d better ‘get a warrant’, so we proceeded to do just that ,” says Kathy

Woodward, senior animal protection officer for the BC SPCA. “When we gained access we discovered the horrific state of the animals, many of whom had to be euthanized immediately because of critical distress.” She added that in addition to the extreme medical issues, the housing for the animals was substandard, with fencing in disrepair and hazardous objects strewn throughout the fields.

Harfman was sentenced to six months house arrest, fol-lowed by 30 months probation and was banned from own-ing, having custody of, or residing in the same premise as an animal or bird for three years.

The BC SPCA conducts nearly 7,000 cruelty investiga-tions a year and is reliant on donations from the public to continue its work.

What is a cataract? Inside the eye, behind the coloured ring (iris), there is a lens which looks like a marble. This lens changes shape when you look up close to give your eye extra power (accommodation). The lens gets rigid with age and reading glasses are often required. A cata-ract occurs when the lens changes colour and is no longer clear. Your optometrist is able to evaluate your cataracts and determine if you should be referred for cataract surgery.

Members of the Oliver Tourism Association and the South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce prepare to work together under the new Oliver Visitor Centre agreement. From left are OTA vice-president Beth Garrish, Chamber CEO Bonnie Dancey, new Chamber president Petra Veintimilla, and Visitor Centre coordinator Rhoda Brooks.

OTA to take over visitor centre

A new three-year contract funded by the Town and Area C represents a new direction for tourism in Oliver.

Last Friday the contract was signed to give the Oliver Tourism Association (OTA) management duties of the Oliver Visitor Centre. The OTA, with administrative assis-tance from the South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce, will provide information services and tourism initiatives at the centre starting March 1.

“Our objective is to bring all things tourism for Oliver and Area C under one umbrella,” said OTA vice-president Beth Garrish.

The former contract with the Chamber for operating the visitor centre expired in December. The centre has re-mained open based on a month-to-month extension.

But Councillor Jack Bennest and Area C Director Allan Patton met with OTA and negotiated a three-year contract.

“To me, it’s a success story,” Bennest said, noting they have ensured stable funding for three years.

He gave special thanks to Patton, Municipal Manager Tom Szalay, and OTA members Kathy Mercier, Kenn Old-field, and Garrish.

Szalay said the OTA will undertake the professional management of the visitor information centre with pres-ent staff and volunteers.

Garrish said the OTA directorship consists of people who

have been involved in advising and directing tourism in Oliver for many years.

She noted the OTA will direct the operation of the visi-tor centre under the Chamber administration. “They have been operating it efficiently for years, have won awards, etc., and they have the expertise and systems.”

Garrish said the OTA will grow its membership for the purposes of marketing the “Wine Capital of Canada.”

“We’ll be able to capitalize on and generate co-op ad-vertising opportunities for the benefit of all stakeholders.”

The OTA will have local control over the Wine Capital of Canada website, online marketing efforts, and newsletter.

Garrish stated the security of having funding for three years will give the OTA time to build a solid foundation.

New Chamber president Petra Veintimilla said at first glance it may not seem like a lot has changed at the Visitor Centre, but behind the scenes growth is happening and all involved are excited.

She clarified that the Chamber is partnering with the OTA in a mutually beneficial relationship that both groups are enthusiastic about.

“It is a move that will provide positive outcomes for both tourism in Oliver and the business community of the South Okanagan, allowing both OTA and the SOCC to focus their efforts on their respective areas of expertise. “ On March 1 the SOCC will play a supporting roll, taking care of the administration duties and providing other support services to visitor centre staff.

Frog-marching not necessary

The Oliver Chronicle welcomes letters to the [email protected]

We didn’t know frogs could march. Or be marched. They jump when you try to grab them, but they don’t march, proudly waving

lily pads in solidarity.Like Michael Newman, we can’t see Jack Bennest

frog-marched out of Council chambers either. In case you didn’t know, frog-marched is defi ned as a method of carrying a resisting person face down, with each limb being held by one person.

Somehow we can’t picture Bennest being carried this way or having to be carried in this fashion for perceived confl ict of interest.

Is this town councillor really in confl ict? That de-pends on public opinion and how you read the Com-munity Charter, which Newman cited during his sur-prise presentation that caught Council off guard on February 14.

If Newman had previously informed his colleagues about the details of his “speech,” the issue likely would have been bumped to an in-camera (closed) meeting. As a result, we wouldn’t have known about it. But now that the cat is out of the bag, it warrants discussion.

Bennest is the publisher of Oliver Daily News, a blog that offers tidbits of news as it happens. He is also a councillor who is privy to the Town’s personal infor-mation. But he’s responsible enough to know he can’t publish in-camera items.

One could argue that Bennest has an unfair advan-tage over other media because he has access to “in-sider information.” But he maintains that he only publishes what’s in the public domain.

As for having an unfair advantage, we’re not totally convinced (partly because we’re a weekly). The Pent-icton Herald has a freelance reporter at every Coun-cil meeting. He hears the fi nal decision of Council the same time that Bennest hears it. So in that respect it’s not unfair. However, Bennest can publish the infor-mation quicker than the Herald.

The confl ict of interest question is trickier. Section 108 of the Community Charter states that

a council member must not use information in the course of their duties for the purpose of gaining a di-rect or indirect pecuniary interest.

We presume that the advertising on Oliver Daily News is not free. If it is, Bennest is very generous. But a stipulation in Section 108 states that a councillor may not use information that is not available to the general public. As far as we know, what Bennest pub-lishes appears to be in the public domain, he just has the venue to publish it faster than print media.

Frog-marched from offi ce? No. Disqualifi ed from offi ce? Not in our books.Is it a big deal? Depends on who you talk to. But

we’re not going to lose sleep over it.

Don’t use fear in the campaignEditor, Oliver Chronicle:

Before Mr. Somerville commences a campaign of fear suggesting the fi re department will arrive late at a fi re be-cause they are not able to adapt to changes proposed in street names and numbers, perhaps he should explain how the fi re department accommodated the changes which occurred when the old street names were changed to the present system.

Interestingly enough, some of the original names are

still used by fi re department members when identifying locations.

I understand that neither the BC Ambulance Service nor the RCMP have expressed formal objections at stakeholder meetings nor were there any emergency service person-nel at the recent open house held to introduce suggested changes and request written feedback from residents.

Patrick Hampson, mayor of Oliver

No one consulted on road planEditor, Oliver Chronicle:

(The following letter was addressed to Boundary-Similka-meen MLA John Slater.)

This letter is the result of an amicable meeting between John Slater and my neighbour John Allsop at the site of the planned extension of Sawmill Road.

It appears the wants of the Town of Oliver and the rami-fi cations of the affected Area C residents are at odds. Were

it not for the Oliver Chronicle article in November on this subject we, the affected, would have no idea of the pro-posed plans.

No one has ever consulted us except for a letter received on February 12, 2011 stating that the province’s geomatic survey people would be on our land in the near future.

James T Moore, Oliver

Editor, Oliver Chronicle:

I am very happy that our town and regional district are returning to historical street names.

I fi nd the current system really frustrating - it is much too fragmented.

The street I live on (380th) is a perfect example - part of it is on the east side of the river, it continues on the west side of the highway, and we live in the middle section, be-tween Island Road (whoops! I mean 93rd St.) and Park Rill Creek. It doesn't show up on the Chamber's map. Not only that, but you can fi nd another piece of 93rd St. south of town off of “Airport Road - Road #1-340th Ave.”

I could go on and on, but you get the picture.I have been reading with interest all of the comments,

both pro and con, over the past years.

No one - as far as I know - has ever brought up the fact that we need a proper street map of Oliver and district. It needs to have a grid and an index. That way, everyone (including our emergency personnel) could fi nd their way around.

When we travel to other cities, we always pick up a map so we can fi nd our destinations. We have never been able to do the same here.

To my knowledge, this area has never had a map that a person could actually use to fi nd a place name. The map put out by the Chamber of Commerce doesn't have an in-dex and doesn't have all of the streets on it.

The solution is obvious and really quite simple.

Current address system frustrating in Oliver because it’s fragmented


NEWS

The Town of Oliver has said enough is enough, giving a homeowner two weeks’ notice to clean up her “unsightly” property or have the offending items removed.

Although it was February 14, there was no love in the air as members of council de-bated the issue that has taken up consider-able staff time.

“This has gone on far too long,” admit-ted Mayor Pat Hampson. But he wasn’t pre-pared to march onto Wendy Cassel’s prop-erty on 77 Street and start hauling stuff away.

“There are several properties in Oliver in similar condition. We should be doing something to every (unsightly) property in town.”

Hampson questioned who determines what is inappropriate in someone’s back-yard, and where do you draw the line?

In the Cassel case, the Town began act-ing on complaints from neighbours last year, when the issues of concern were piles of garbage, scrap metal, dog feces, and re-cycling debris. The bylaw enforcement officer conducted several inspections, re-sulting in the garbage cleaned up and the debris placed in neat piles. But the dog fe-ces are still a major issue.

“. . . the three of us attending walked in it like it was the top soil,” the bylaw officer noted in a report last November.

In December, the officer reported the Cassels had cooperated and cleaned up al-most all of what the Town had requested, except the feces. However, the Town con-tinues to receive complaints about the property.

Wendy Cassel previously maintained that she has complied with the Town’s re-quests to clean up her property. But the continued inspections have crossed the line into harassment, she said. She also

Resident faces deadline to clean up her property


Council was surprised Daily News editor Jeannine Randle.In a recent post on his blog, Bennest ac-

knowledged that two journalists asked him if he was in conflict of interest. He replied that he might be, but not really under the Community Charter. “If what we do here is criminal -- arrest us. Personally I think po-lice have bigger fish to fry.”

Mayor Pat Hampson said he was under the impression that Newman and Bennest had a disagreement that required discus-sion on what and when material can be re-leased.

“But I was surprised when Councillor Bennest recused himself as being in con-flict and surprised at the details of Council-lor Newman’s document.”

Hampson said Bennest had discussed Oliver Daily News with him before, touch-ing on the perception of “scooping” other media. Both agreed that information in the public domain is “fair game,” and Hampson said Bennest is entitled to publish it.

The mayor said he is unsure whether a councillor derives a pecuniary interest from advertising solely by having a daily publication as opposed to a weekly publi-

cation. “However, I would assume that the

(Penticton) Herald has an opportunity to gather the same public domain news as ODN.”

In retrospect, Hampson said he would have preferred to discuss Newman’s mat-ter in private.

Councillor Terry Schafer said he was sur-prised the matter wasn’t in-camera (closed to the public).

Basso said she had no idea Newman was bringing these conflict of interest charges forward, and was uncomfortable discussing the “delicate” matter in public.

Even Municipal Manager Tom Szalay said he didn’t want to be in the middle of it.

Newman said he believes Bennest is placing his political office in peril.

“The onus is on Councillor Bennest to ensure that nothing appears on his blog that meets the criteria of Section 108 (of the Community Charter). No doubt the oth-er media are going to monitor the situation as well and make enquiries when material appears that they do not have access to.”

Many interesting women showcased their talents and products at the recent WOW event in Oliver. Clockwise from top photo are Arbonne consultants Kerri Pierce and Michelle Bell-Scanlon, Margaret Puskas of Doilies by Design, and Linda Blaschuk and Stephanie Salsnek from Paw Prints Studio and Gallery.

WOW trade show offers much to Oliver women

The WOW “Mainly for Women Trade Show” held last weekend in Oliver was def-initely where all the action was.

Displays of beauty products, home bak-ing, artworks, cookware, handmade san-dals and handcrafted chocolates were just a small sampling of the display booths of-fered to the many people who spent time purchasing the products or learning about things that will help improve their lives or business.

“I attend three or four fairs or shows a year and this is one I never miss,” said Heather Leslie of Heather’s Kitchen.

Her large display of knitted goods, jams, jellies, cookies, breads and baked goods was well placed right inside the door, keep-ing both Leslie and her right hand person, Margaret Rosenberg busy serving their many customers.

Leslie added, “I’ve been attending this show for about 17 or 18 years and even though I keep saying I am retiring, I am still here.”

It was evident by the laughter of both women they were having a lot of fun re-acquainting themselves with their regular and new patrons.

Encouraging new members of all ages to learn how to ride or return to the joy of riding were representatives of the Oliver Riding Club, Christine Seibeck and Dawn Muller.

“We have 57 members and a good por-tion of the members are women over 40,” said Muller.

They both confi rmed that there is a big interest in riding from all age groups and many people who rode as children are re-

turning as they get older and have more time.

It was possible to learn about animal wellness, experience a method of improv-ing your life, turn everyday meals into gourmet meals, reduce stress and fatigue or fi nd out about the Mental Wellness Cen-tre by talking to the vendors who all made themselves available to answer any ques-tions put to them. When your feet got tired or your stomach was empty there were tables of food available that many enjoyed.

“We’ve been coming to this show for a few years,” said Stephanie Salsnek of Paw Prints Studio and Gallery, “and fi nd it very worthwhile.” She said that the costs for a display booth were more than reasonable and this was also confi rmed by the other vendors around her.

“Pub patrons love our pretzels,” said Terry Weiss from DoodleBug Chocolates who has returned for the second time to promote her handcrafted chocolates made locally with love.

By raising money through the trade show, The WOW Society (Women of Oliver for Women) is able to give fi nancial dona-tions to the community that includes the local Safe House, the Oliver Food Bank, and the Gleaners, and their support assists local women re-entering the workforce.

Whether the vendor was one who has returned for many years or someone who attended for the fi rst time, they all felt that the Mainly for Women Trade Show was a huge success and are planning on return-ing in the years to come. There was no fee to enter the trade show but by the amount of monies in the donation jar and the num-ber of attendees it was evident everyone felt the show was very worthwhile.

STOCK UP FOR SPRING FISHING


Mark mulchWhen you see town horticulturist Mark Jamieson hefting a container of mulch and spreading it on local flower beds, you know spring isn’t too far behind. Here, he prepares to give a flower bed near the Oliver Visitor Centre some nutrients in preparation for the growing season.

Town gives notice to home owner to tidy up propertypointed out there are numerous other “un-sightly” premises in Oliver that the Town isn’t focusing on.

Regarding the dog feces, she told the Chronicle that she recently constructed a dog poop composter with a lid on it.

But it is alleged the Cassels continue to contravene the Animal Control Bylaw by having five dogs on the property. In this case, they are only allowed to have three.

But the officer said the Town finds it “impossible” to prove since it must give 24 hours’ notice before an inspection is car-ried out. This gives the owner time to get rid of a couple of dogs before the officer shows up, said Municipal Manager Tom Szalay.

The Town has asked the neighbour to photograph the dogs as proof, but the com-plainant has refused.

Tracy Palmer, who lives next door to the Cassels, said the RCMP informed her she can’t legally take photographs of someone’s yard. She said the Town’s request puts her in an awful position, noting her family has already suffered emotionally and financial-ly over this issue. She said every time they drive by the Cassels, they get “the finger.”

Palmer said there’s plenty of proof that the Cassels have five dogs.

Council directed staff to bring back op-tions on how to deal with the dog issue. Szalay said the Town could obtain a special entry warrant to show up without notice. However, they wouldn’t seize the dogs, only fine the owners.

In the meantime, there is still the issue with the piles of metal, sinks, lumber, old windows, fish aquariums scaffolding, and clothing racks that litter the back yard.

“We can be more aggressive or take the

soft shoe approach, which hasn’t worked,” Szalay said, noting council hasn’t really given staff clear direction on what to do.

He pointed out the Town has several options, including obtaining a court order to have the property cleaned up, but that would cost about $5,000. Another option is to have a crew haul the stuff away and risk a lawsuit.

Councillor Marji Basso said she didn’t want to end up with a “monster” that would burden local taxpayers. So she opted to give the Cassels a final notice that the Town will haul the stuff away (and invoice them for the costs) if the property isn’t cleaned up.

“I think we’ve given enough notice to the Cassels . . . I think we’ve done our due diligence on this one.”

Councillor Michael Newman agreed, say-ing if the Town doesn’t act by enforcing the bylaw, it will “lose all control” and erode the motivation for others to keep their properties tidy.

Oliver entrepreneur Todd Browne said he feels the same frustration with unsightly premises near his business south of town.

He encouraged Council to stop “tippy-toeing around” and start making decisions on untidy properties in Town.

Palmer said she was thrilled with Coun-cil’s decision on the Cassel property

“We’re very hopeful that we’ll (finally) be able to enjoy our backyard.”

Palmer said the ordeal left her family go-ing in circles, with no way out, and nobody should have to go through that.

“I’m a strong human rights advocate, but not when it’s hurting other people,” she noted.

SOSS students literally shaking amidst work

Curtis Andersen photo

A worker cuts a cement block during renovations at SOSS. Students are looking forward to the new school and to the day they stop shaking from all the construction work going on.

The construction on the school has been going on for a few months now and we’re really starting to see progress.

There are structures being built and it’s actually start-ing to look like a school . . . well, actually it just looks like a bunch of random I-beams and some gravel, but with the right amount of imagination, I believe anything is possible.

It is nice to know that things are coming along; it makes it more bearable that half our classes are in portables, making it what one student (me) called “a trailer park of learning.”

The classes are going on as usual, even if it is slightly noisier than normal. If you thought having a student be-hind you kicking your chair was annoying, try having a several-ton “claw of death” scraping away at the founda-tion under you. Needless to say it takes your attention away from your English paper and puts it more towards fearing for your life.

The renovations have caused both students and faculty to make adjustments to their daily routines. But no one has had to adjust more than our sports teams after the re-cent closing of the east gym. The boys’ basketball teams now practice across town at the Sen Pok Chin gym, and the field hockey girls now have to walk all the way around the construction site to get to the field. Luckily those are the only two teams anyone really makes an effort to watch so we should be fine. And as far as I am aware, the golf team remains unscathed.

Although there have been some minor difficulties with the installation of the floors in one building, and the fact that we are three years behind the original date set for the school’s completion, everything appears to be going well.

In the next three weeks we should be moving classes into the newly renovated part of the school, and the reno-vations on the auditorium will begin within the year.

I believe that the school will be finished sometime after the year 2045, but the people in charge assure me it’s more like September 2012 and they’re the experts.

W hile our opposition to the street naming proposal is probably not news to anyone as we have been vocally opposed to it

since it first came up last year. In fact many of us believed that it was such a ludicrous idea, we felt Town Council would put a stop to this before it gained any steam. Unfortunately they didn’t and we are currently facing a new street naming system. When the current street numbering system was put into place many years ago it was in large part to help improve response times for emergency service workers. We feel that it has in fact done that and it is very rare that we have any trouble finding street addresses. We realize the numbering system can be confusing to some people, but once it is understood it is actually very simple. It has been said that some couriers have had trouble finding homes in Oliver due to the numbering system, could this not simply be due to a courier unfamiliar with the area? If your package is late coming to your house then, yes it can be an inconvenience. If the fire department is late coming to your house then the consequences will be much more severe, a few weeks ago a family almost lost their home from a structure fire. Due to a quick response the fire was contained mainly to the roof, if we had been delayed looking for an obscure street name then the owners would have undoubtedly lost more then just a roof.As well as being firefighters we are also all citizens of Oliver and our next major concern is the cost of this proposal to the taxpayers. In order to accomplish a complete change for the whole system, all street signs, physical house numbers, business signs, maps, GPS data and 911 dispatch information has to be considered. At one time a cost estimate of $40,000 was suggested. We can all agree that this cost will be considerably higher with some suggesting $400,000 as a closer estimate. This issue originally surfaced when the postal service informed the town that in the future civic addresses would become mailing addresses. So yes we will all need to change our drivers licenses, billing addresses etc., however that doesn’t mean we need to change over the entire system. In closing we would like to once again ask that the Town Council and citizens of Oliver reconsider this proposal and leave the system the way it is.The Members of the Oliver Fire Department

Oliver Business Association preparing special eventsThe dedicated members of the Oliver Business Association (OBA) had a productive

meeting on February 17 at Alberto’s. Three committees were nominated and are all in the preliminary stages for planning three events in the coming months.

The first event is to be held in April and will include a sidewalk sale. It will generally be

a spring street clean-up occasion. Next, the second committee is looking at ways to take advantage of the 1500 plus people coming to Oliver during the Half Ironman in June and encourage them to eat and shop locally.

The third committee will focus its efforts around the Sunshine Festival working in con-junction with the festival committee as well as have downtown activities.

“First Friday” events garnered interest from the members with suggestions that for four months during the warm weather the shops would stay open late on the first Friday of each month. Suggestions of special sales, snacks and music were brought forward.

Laurena Weninger, hired by the Town of Oliver for the “Paint the Town Project” an-nounced that the Oliver Sagebrushers have completed the movable painted boards to be installed in empty storefront windows and have done an amazing job. The unveiling will take place Saturday, Feb. 26 at 10 a.m.

The next meeting will be held at Beyond Bliss on March 17 at 5:30 p.m.

Be grateful for everything your pet gives you I love pets and I'm very grateful for ev-

ery day I get to spend with them. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Admittedly, there are those times that I am cleaning up urine or feces, annoyed about items chewed up, or stressed about fi nding the “perfect” pet sitter that I won-der what it would be like to not have pets. But those thoughts are fl eeting, and for me, pets are essential.

Ask any pet lover what they are grateful for, and invari-ably they will respond “my pets.” But what exactly does that mean? What constitutes gratitude for pets, and what can pets teach us about grati-tude in other areas of our lives?

Grateful for play Fresh air and exercise are

good for everyone, and it keeps pets at their optium weight. But in the hustle and bustle of life, it's hard to take the time. Pets aren't bothered by all of the things looming on the “To Do” list. It's time for a walk. Let's chase string. It doesn't matter what day it is, or even what time it is, let's take a break and play.

I am grateful for all of my four-legged re-minders to take a break, go for a walk, and appreciate the journey.

Grateful for laughter It really is good medicine. Not one day

goes by that a pet doesn't make us laugh

out loud. The cats are always sneaking up on each other - surprise! The dogs play tag and keep-away with toys. The family joins in, chasing, sneaking and laughing.

Grateful for a comfy bedMy pets live the life of luxury. I am re-

minded of so many pets that don't have such a life - those that sur-vive outdoor in pens, on chains, and in animal shel-ters. Homeless people too.

I am grateful for housing and a comfy bed to sleep in. I have adopted pets from shelters. I help by do-nating funds and supplies to local shelters (for pets and people). I am grateful for those that work in the shelters; bridging the gap between homeless and for-ever home.

Grateful for the momentMy pets are always in the here and now.

They don't stew or worry about what hap-pened yesterday or what is on tap for to-morrow.

Today is good. This moment is good; they are grateful for that. I am reminded to appreciate each moment - with my pets, friends and family. Being present is the best present.

Grateful for gratitudeMy pets might not be the most highly

trained, but they know how to show their gratitude. Those play bows, tail wags,

purrs, and licking of the chops post-treat always bring a smile to my face. They can't say “thank you,” but they show it in a hun-dred ways.

That good feeling is contagious. I am reminded to show gratitude for even the smallest acts. It makes a difference.

Lady Hornets lead leagueThe basketball season is ramping up for

the senior girls Hornets. Last week saw the girls beat Princess

Margaret in the last league game of the season. The win gave them a fi rst place standing in the league and a fi rst round bye in the South Zone playoff.

Second place Summerland faced Maggie in fi rst round playoff action to determine who challenged the Hornets for the Zone Championship.

In an exciting game it was Maggie who

edged out Summerland, and would then meet the SOSS squad. The game was hosted by Oliver last Friday, but played in Osoyoos because of the gym construction.

The contest started quite slow and even for the fi rst quarter, but it was the Hornets who pulled away and never looked back, defeating the Mustangs 69-47.

This will allow the gritty and feisty Hor-nets to compete in Vernon next week in the Valley Championships. The best eight teams from Kamloops to the border will wrangle for entry tickets into the pro-vincial tournament held in Kamloops in March.

Offi cial visit of Rebekah president inspires ladies

To celebrate Valentine’s Day in style, Re-bekahs from the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson areas met for lunch at a lo-cal restaurant before their annual offi cial visit from their president, Belinda DeGug-lielmo.

Sister Belinda spoke of the many inter-

national projects of the IOOF and our local lodges donations to community groups.

As with all fraternal organizations, we would love to add new members to our own lodge, Golden Heart, which meets in Oliver on the second and fourth Monday afternoons.

Please contact 250-498-3520 or 250-498-0451 in Oliver if you are interested in learn-ing more about us.

The Rebekahs from Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson areas celebrated Valentine’s Day in style. The Oliver lodge (Golden Heart) is seeking new members. They meet in Oliver on the second and fourth Monday of the month at 1:30 p.m. at the Elks Hall.

New Chamber presidentanticipating her role

“My future plans as the president of the South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce in-cludes helping the Chamber meet the year-ly collective goals that have been agreed upon by all of the board members,” said new president Petra Veintimilla.

Her being president was unexpected be-cause the fi rst vice president historically steps into the position but this was not possible.

Her goal is to bring a renewed energy that will translate to members so they are able to reap and understand the benefi ts.

“Although many businesses have been slow there seems to be a grassroots move-ment, such as the new Oliver Business As-sociation, with the owners trying to get back on track.”

Veintimilla feels that the new merchants in town are encouraging the local owners to get back into the game. The good thing about these area groups and associations is that they are looking for creative solutions to help locals prosper.

Part of her focus will also be on the hir-ing of a part-time event coordinator who will also assist Chamber CEO Bonnie Danc-ey in planning events and assist with grow-ing the Chamber’s membership.

Having open communication between themselves and the local government is important and Veintimilla plans on pro-moting this even more than what is being done now. She believes that the Chamber’s mandate should be that the Chamber is the “voice of business.”

Veintimilla says she is really excited about her position as president and ap-preciates the support of the group she is working with. With the knowledge and experience of the board she is confi dent in the future of the South Okanagan busi-ness community and the Chamber of Com-merce.

The SOCC’s board includes members from Oliver, Okanagan Falls and Osoyoos. They are Veintimilla; Chris Scheuren, past president; Linda Winje as fi rst vice presi-dent; Holly Plante as second vice presi-dent; Jim King returning as treasurer; Katie Amos as secretary; along with members Linda Sheehy-Brownstein, Myers Bennett (returning) and new member Sieg Tennert.

There are three new positions of Direc-tors at Large providing more hands on in the community. Payam Sanai from Os-oyoos, Steve Staresina of Oliver and Lisa Ekelund of Okanagan Falls have fi lled those positions.

A close callThe Oliver Fire Department responded to a report of smoke inside South Okanagan Gen-eral Hospital last Friday. The smoke came from a hot roofing job. Apparently something caught fire on the roof and the smoke got inside the hospital’s ventilation system, accord-ing to a fire department spokesman. Firefighters used fans to ventilate the building and all was well a short time later. No damage or injuries were reported.

Obesity nearly doublesThree papers published by “The Lancet”

show that the worldwide prevalence of obesity has nearly doubled since 1980.

In the last 30 years, the number of obese men rose from 4.8 to 9.8 per cent and wom-en from 7.9 to 13.8 per cent. That translates into more than one-tenth of the world's adult population, or about half a billion people across the globe.

So what do our governments and the food industry say? They encourage more “per-sonal responsibility” – more exercise, self-control, avoid-ing over-eating, and reduc-ing intake of sugar-sweetened drinks and processed food.

While all this sounds good in theory, science has proven that sugar, fat, and salt laden processed foods, rather than natural, whole foods, are ad-dictive. You can overeat chips or Twinkies, but few overeat carrots or apples. There are specific biological mechanisms that drive addictive behaviours. No one chooses to be fat, despite the social stigma and health consequences. Many behaviours arise out of neurochemical reward centres in the brain that override normal willpow-er and overwhelm our ordinary biological hunger control signals. Now that’s not to say that raw willpower is not a powerful tool. I’ve had many clients use it success-fully simply because they desire a change in their life.

Food addictions are compounded by manufacturers who refuse to release in-ternal data on ingredients which maximize

consumption of their products despite requests from researchers. In his book, “The End of Overeating,” David Kessler, the former head of the Food and Drug Ad-ministration, describes the science of food being made into drugs by the creation of hyperpalatable ingredients which lead to neuro-chemical addiction. In other words, food high in sugar, fat, and salt can unwill-

ingly expose consumers to cravings which make them overeat, leading to profound physiological consequences that drive up weight gain and ill health.

This theory has been prov-en in a Harvard study pub-lished in the Journal of the American Medical Associa-tion. It was shown that over-weight adolescents consumed an extra 500 calories a day when allowed to eat junk food as compared to days when this type of food was not al-lowed.

Personal responsibility is indeed a big issue, as is knowledge about exercise. But education about our processed food indus-try is lacking. We live in toxic food envi-ronment. No matter where you go, you see vending machines, sugary sports drinks, and junk food littering the landscape of our nutritional wasteland. A far better choice would be to avoid labels as much as possi-ble. Steer clear of canned and boxed foods. Eat a high fibre, healthy fat, low starch and high nutrient diet composed of as many natural foods as possible. Then watch your health thrive.

moved the tree, but for a short period of time,” Douglas said.

She noted approximately 1,600 residents were without power, but the mishap didn’t affect the downtown area.

Douglas said the majority of residents had power by 10 p.m.

SOGH undergoes energy upgrades, reducing GHGs

Energy upgrades are happening at South Okanagan General Hospital in Oliver to re-duce the facility's energy demand, green-house gas emissions and operating costs.

The work is expected to be completed in spring 2011. The $800,000 project is fund-ed by the province’s Public Sector Energy Conservation Agreement program, which was set up to assist public sector organi-zations in implementing changes to their facilities that would make them more sus-tainable.

The energy upgrades include: --Replace one of the three existing hot

water boilers with two smaller, fuel-effi-cient boilers to reduce the fuel demand and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The new boilers will provide most of the hospital hot water and heating demands. The remaining two boilers will operate to meet peak demand and to provide backup capacity.

--Replace fan and pump motors in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to premium efficiency mo-tors, reducing the electrical load.

--Change the existing lighting to energy efficient systems to reduce the electrical load. Parking lot lighting will also be up-graded to provide better quality lighting, enhancing safety and security.

--Change the HVAC control system from a pneumatic (air) control system to a direct

digital control (DDC) system, delivering heating and cooling based on demand. The new DDC will turn off or turn down HVAC equipment based on a occupancy schedule (example, administration areas that are not in use after hours). The new DDC will include sensors to shut down the boilers and heating system when the outdoor tem-peratures are high enough that the build-ing lighting, equipment, solar gain and occupancy generate enough heat to meet requirements.

--Variable frequency drives (VFD) will allow the capacity of HVAC equipment to be lowered, based on demand. The current pneumatic system has single speed motors, is not programmable, hence it operates at full capacity 24/7. Existing HVAC systems run motors at full speed, controlling flow by restrictions in valves and dampers. This is analogous to driving with your foot on the gas and controlling your speed with the other foot on the brake. New VFD systems are analogous to controlling your speed with the gas pedal only, saving large amounts of energy.

--Air exhausted from the hospital will go through heat recovery equipment. This recovered heat will pre-heat the cold in-coming air, allowing for less natural gas to be used in bringing cold air up to full temperature. This system can be run back-wards on hot summer days to pre-cool the hot outside air, lowering the electricity consumption on the chiller system.

Taking aimJessica Souto, 16, shows calm before releasing her arrow towards the target during archery night at the air cadet hangar in Oliver. Souto participates as a junior in the Southern Okanagan Sportsmen’s Association archery program. Last year she won bronze at the BC Winter Games in Terrace.

Grape growers’ cooperative a surplus solutionOkanagan grape growers will soon see the concept of

cause and effect play out in their vineyards. And when they do, this valley will keep company with other international wine regions experiencing the same consequences of over-planting: a surplus of grapes they can’t sell due to various factors, including market glut and economic uncertainty.

Like a locomotive’s light in a tunnel, the situation has been steadily approaching, growing closer and larger with every vineyard planted and harvested.

However, three Oliver businessmen believe they have created a means of jumping out of the way and avoiding

the oncoming crush.Alan Tyabji, Gordon Hahn and Dwight Brown have de-

signed a unique method of handling surplus grapes. Their proposal is to lease land and a building, buy equipment, hire a winemaker and supporting staff and set up a grape growers’ cooperative. The men have spoken to the BC Grapegrowers Association regarding this first-of-its-kind-in-BC idea and will present their findings to interested growers at the South Valley Sales meeting March 8.

“We know a surplus is coming; we have quantified it us-ing the numbers from the BC Wine Institute. And the dan-ger is, it is going to cause the price to drop,” stated Brown, adding those figures will be available in a comprehensive report prepared by Tyabji.

Meanwhile Tyabji, Hahn and Brown hope to generate interest in their business model and spur dialogue among potential members.

Tyabji, who has a wine background and foresaw the grape surplus several years ago, contacted the Coopera-tive Development Initiative (a federal program geared to testing the coop model in innovative ways) to explain the concern and the mitigating concept. Last year, CDI gave their approval and some financial assistance; then the trio focused on the minutiae of their solution.

Hahn added his financial background as well as his grower experience to the venture; Brown was the man to go to for technical expertise. The Articles of Association

Businessmen propose grape growers’ coop

and the bylaws have been completed and the details have been worked out in terms of labour and overheads.

“We’ve done the feasibility and market-ing studies and have developed a winery business plan,” said Tyabji. “So now we are actually in the process of forming the co-operative.”

Theirs is a novel approach to the coop-erative system. Essential-ly this coop will receive only surplus VQA-quality grapes and process them into bulk wines, which will then be sold to exist-ing wineries or to export markets such as China. The wine varieties will vary year to year depend-ing on the surplus situa-tion, but the plan calls for a selection of reds, whites and blends.

The plan also parts company with the cur-rent tree fruit cooperative model.

“We are offering a facility to process the growers own grapes. It won’t be a winery owned by someone else; it will be one the grape growers own, because they will be buying shares in it. They would be owners in a New Generation Cooperative (NGC),” Tyabji explained, adding they are aiming at selling the bulk wine for fi ve dollars a litre, giving the grower a $2,000/metric tonne return on his grapes.

They are offering the future member-ship a choice: purchase a tank for your own wine and you become a partner in the marketing system, a party to the decision-making process, and the return on your tank after expenses will come to you. Mem-bers who don’t want to buy a tank will be

subject to ‘pooling’ and would receive their portion of the tank’s receipts.

Said Hahn, “This model is very new right now, but once the cooperative gets estab-lished the new Board of Directors will take that model and modify it to their needs.”

He stressed their model does not include bottling the wine; being sold in bulk gives the buyer wider fl exibility as to the wine’s

eventual use. Tyabji has been in dis-

cussions with award-win-ning winemaker Dr. Elias Phiniotis, and talks are on-going regarding a suitable site for the facility. They hope to be ready for opera-tion by the fall of 2012.

Brown likened the op-eration to a tank farm, one similar to Vincor’s on the highway north of Oliver. While a building is neces-sary to house the fi ltration and blending areas, the

laboratory, lunchroom and washroom fa-cilities, the tanks would probably be stored outside, perhaps under a shelter.

He cautioned, “This [cooperative] is not a panacea, but we hope it will be a stabiliz-ing infl uence in terms of growers’ income. It is not going to work for everybody, but that’s not the point. The point is to stabilize the surplus situation, because if the fl oor price drops, even people who have a secure relationship with a winery are going to be under some pressure to drop their price. And that is what we are trying to address.”

BC Grapegrowers Association president Manfred Freese was waiting for the meet-ing before expressing an in-depth opinion, but he did say, “We would be quite happy to see another avenue for growers.”

Fundraising continues for ‘Adopt-a-Seat projectEveryone who drives by the high school these days can’t

escape the signs of construction and renovations. For students and teachers these sights, sounds and nec-

essary “dislocations” have become the daily backdrop to

classroom activities this past year. A fond farewell to the historic east gym was suitably celebrated a few weeks ago. The exciting motto at SOSS this year is: Out with the old and in with the new and the “renewed.”

What, in all this change, is the current status of the Frank Venables Auditorium? That question was addressed by the “Adopt-a-Seat” committee at their last meeting.

The committee met with senior staff of School District 53 and learned that some renovations have already been made, since the school building and the auditorium are structurally linked.

The major renovations and repairs, however, won’t be tackled until June 2011, with the goal of completion by Sep-tember 2012.

The committee was reminded that the available fund-ing for auditorium renovations will cover the structural changes necessary. The items that community and school “user groups” and their audiences will most obviously need—such as stage curtains, lighting, projection and sound systems—are not included due to budget constraints. For those items, the monies raised by the “Adopt-a-Seat” committee will be needed. So far, generous donors have ac-cumulated over $121,000; an impressive amount. Yet, it is not suffi cient to pay for all the desired items. Fortunately, the fundraising continues, and ev-ery individual or group who has not yet “adopted” a seat in honour of friends or family, or has not yet donated a “plaque” -- and would like to do so—is encouraged to drop in at the school board offi ce, or contact Martin Cattermole or Ernie Dumais.

All user groups of the auditorium will in the near future be invited to meet with the Adopt-a-Seat fundraising com-mittee and school district staff to help establish a “priority list” for upgrades to be purchased with the funds raised. This will allow the project leaders to include these desig-nated upgrades in the renovations over the next school year.

Saving the auditorium involves school and community collaboration at its most fundamental level. The prize? A beloved “historic” building preserved, all the while being upgraded to “new and improved.”

Illustration contributed

This is an illustration of what Frank Venables Auditorium should look like when renovations are complete in the fall of 2012. The “Adopt-a-Seat” committee is hoping more people will jump on board to raise the needed funds for all the desired items.

A Representation Agreement is a legal document and is the only document which per-mits you to appoint someone to act on your behalf for health and personal care decisions.

Wouldn’t a Will do the same thing? No – a Will only takes effect after your death. How about a Power of Attorney? No – a

Power of Attorney allows someone (Attorney) to act on your behalf for your legal and financial affairs, not for health care decisions.

Why should someone make a Representation Agreement?You decide who will carry out your wishes. In other words you trust that person to

make the decisions which are in your best interest.It makes things easier on family and friends and hopefully avoids disputes. It avoids the

need for other authorities such as the government to be involved in your personal and private affairs.

Who should make a Representation Agreement? Pretty much everyone (adults) need a plan before an emergency or a crisis happens. In

BC, if you are an adult (19 years of age), no one has the automatic right to manage your affairs if you need help due to an illness, accident or disability.

Who should I appoint? The decision is primarily that of trust – someone you trust to make health care decisions for you, in the event of an incapacity – usually a spouse, one of your adult children or a trusted friend.

What are the duties of a Representative?The first duty is to help you make your own decisions. To act honestly and in good faith.

Keep a record of decisions made on your behalf. Keep your personal information confi-dential, however, they may release information to others (specialists, medical services plan, etc.) in order to fulfill their duties.

What health and personal care powers are contained or given in a Representation Agreement? The powers you can give your representative are in two sections of the Rep-resentation Agreement Act. Standard Powers are listed in Section 7. The two sections have different requirements.

Standard Health Care and Personal Care Powers Standard Powers cover major and mi-nor health care and personal care matters including: Immunizations, tests, medications; Dental work; Physiotherapy; Where you live; Arranging support services; Diet, exercise, grooming, personal safety; Taking part in activities; End-of-life comfort care.

Additional Powers (Section 9) You can add powers to your Agreement for broader cov-erage. Additional powers you can give your representative are:

The final say to refuse life support on your behalf (in the event your wishes conflict with medical opinion or family members);

Making temporary arrangements for the care and education needs of your minor chil-dren;

Consenting to experimental treatments that have no known benefit and are not ap-proved by governing authorities. (see schedule 9)

What if I don’t have a Representation Agreement for health care? If you are found incapable of making a specific health care decision and there is no

Representation Agreement, the doctor or other health care provider must select someone to be your Temporary Substitute Decision Maker (TSDM).

The law lists who can be selected as the TSDM starting with 1) Spouse; 2) An adult child; 3) A parent; 4) A Brother or Sister; 5) any other relative by birth or adoption. If you have no family, the doctor must contact the Public Guardian and Trustee (government official) Only the Public Trustee can authorize a friend, or in-law. If no one else is available the Public Trustee staff will decide for you.

Although the doctor has to follow the list in order, this is not always straightforward. The TSDM only has temporary authority for the immediate decision at hand. It is possible you might have a different person acting as your TSDM at different times. TSDMs often

feel unprepared because they are only selected when there is a health crisis.You can be prepared by having a Representation Agreement in advance of such a crisis.

It avoids potential conflict and confusion for family and friends, and it is your choice not the Government who chooses who will act for you. Article paid for by Greg Litwin

What is your most important value and why?My most important value to me is being honest, honest

to myself and to others, because if we don't have that... we don't have anything in my opinion.

Why did you choose to live in this town?It really wasn't my choice to live here. I just came to visit

my parents abou nine years ago, and well.... here I am.

What would make Oliver a nicer community?I think if we try to build up the Main street here in Oli-

ver... This would make our community more inviting for people who are passing through. Make them want to stop and shop and spend some time here.

Do you have a goal in life? I know it sounds corny but my goal is to be the best per-

son I can be.

If you had one super power, what would it be?To be able to fl y.

If you won the $50 million Max lottery, what would you do with the money?

Uhhhh thats’ a given, shopping spree all the way and after that I would pay off everything for my family and then buy a huge piece of land and rescue all the animals that I can that don't have homes, or are abused, neglected and not loved. I would want to give them a safe and loving home for the rest of their days.

If you were the mayor of Oliver, what would you do?I wouldn't want to be mayor. Sorry.

If you could meet one person in the entire world, who would it be and why?

One person would be Mikhail Baryshnikov, one of the most famous and best ballet dancers in the world. Well, I would love to watch him dance fi rst and then meet him.

What is your pet peeve in this community?

My pet peeve is the street numbers here.... garage sale-ing is so hard when you don't know where what street and number is.

What is the perfect day for you in Oliver?The perfect day in Oliver I think would be a beautiful

summer day sitting on my deck enjoying the day with good friends.

What community issues need the most attention?I think the youth in our town need the most attention.

There is nothing for them to do here, then boredom sets in and we all know what happens next.

What would be your ideal job?My ideal job was working with animals and owning my

own pet store, but working at Grapevine Optical here in Ol-iver and with us moving to our new location on Main street is very exciting. So I am really happy right where I am.

Who inspires you the most?My mom inspires me more than anything in this world.

She is a very strong, kind and loving.... she is such a won-derful human being.

If a genie granted you three wishes, what would they be? Well, my fi rst wish and greatest would be to see my

brother one last time. My second wish would be to take all the hatred out of this world and, of course, to win the millions.

When and where were you happiest?The thing that made me the happiest was when I was

a ballet dancer. Being on stage dancing professionally brought me so much joy inside. Well, also while I was teach-ing, watching young dancers grow and get better from my knowledge and help. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Which talent would you most like to have?I would love to be able to sing. My sister has that talent.

I got the dancing.

Who are your heroes in real life?Honestly, I don't really have any heroes in life.

What is it that you most dislike?There is not really a whole lot that I dislike because if I

didn’t like it I won’t do it.

What or who is your greatest love in your life?No man in my life, so right now, it’s my two beautiful

cats.... Flora and Emmett. I love them more than anything.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?My greatest achievement I think would be change. It’s

hard in life to change your ways to make yourself a better person but I think I have done pretty good.

What is your favourite book?"Sam and the Firefl y" by P.D. Eastman.

What is your favourite meal?Oh goodness, that is a hard one .... Fairview Mountain’s

cajin chicken sandwich with bacon. OMG, so good!

The fiddlersThe Rutland Fiddlers visited the Oliver Senior Center at a recent dance. There were 19 members in all. Pictured from left to right are Lil Ell, Gordon Cheynne, John Tribe, 7-year-old Devon Becket and his mother Tracy Becket, Max Kibsey and Ruth Buchanan.

The junior E.A.Ks (Environmentally Active Kids) at Tuc-el-Nuit Elementary School did a mini study about bats and they found them fascinating. They discovered that the South Okanagan and Similkameen have 14 species of bats which makes it one of the best spots to find bats in all of Canada.

They learned that some bats can eat more than 1,000 mosquito sized insects in a night; this is wonderful because the West Nile virus has found its way to the Okanagan.

Realizing that these beneficial mammals are a great way to control mosquitoes, the junior E.A.Ks decided to help the bats by providing more habitat opportunities. They chose a plan, rounded up material and had a work bee at school to put together 14 bat boxes. These boxes are ready to go and will be put up in suitable locations as soon as possible.

Junior E.A.K.s help out the bats


Students and adults work together to build bat boxes as part of an environmental project at Tuc-el-Nuit Elementary School. From left are Bret Rollison, Martin Saxey, Joshua Caleb Allenbrand, and Ethan Hagel.

In loving memory

REAYBeatrice (Betty)

1921 - 2011

Beatrice (Betty) Reay passed away on February 14, 2011 at McKinney Place in Oliver, BC.

Betty was born on October 31, 1921 in Jaffray, BC. She was the seventh child in a family of ten children. Her childhood was spent on the family farm in Sandcreek, south of Jaffray. Betty met Dale Reay, whose family owned a neighbouring farm. They were married in March 1945. They continued to live in Sandcreek until forced to relocate due to the building of the Libby Dam. Their farm was to become part of the Libby pondage, which extended into Canada and is known as Lake Koocanusa.

They then purchased a ranch in Princeton, BC in 1970. They ranched there until August 15, 1978 when they moved to Oli-ver. This was to be Mom’s home for the rest of her life.

She loved her garden, fl owers, chickens, and the dogs. She made many friends in Oliver and looked forward to visits from them.

Mom was predeceased by her husband, Dale; her parents, three sisters and four brothers. She is survived by her children, Faye Totten of Jaffray, BC; Mae (Dennis) Dilts of Newgate, BC; and George (Laura) Reay of Oliver, BC; her sister, Rita (Charlie) Gillespie, of Grand Prairie, AB; her brother, Ernie (Marlene) Desrosiers, of Jaffray, BC; by fourteen grandchil-dren, twenty-eight great-grandchildren, and one great-great-granddaughter; and by three sisters-in-law, Ellen Reay, of Jaffray, BC; Margaret Reay, of Altonah, UT; and Madeline Desrosiers, of Cranbrook, BC; and many nieces and nephews.

A memorial service was held on Saturday, February 19, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. at Nunes-Pottinger Funeral Chapel. A graveside committal at the Oliver Municipal Cemetery pre-ceded the service.

Condolences & tributes may be directed to the family by visiting www.nunes-pottinger.com

CeliaAnn Scott

(Tan)Apr. 23, 1919 - Feb. 17, 2011

On February 17, 2011, Mrs. Celia Ann (Tan) Scott of Oliver passed away at the McKinney Place Extended Care Unit at the age of 90 years.

Predeceased by husband, Ray (Scotty) 2003 and eldest son Brian 1999.

Survived by son, Bruce of Chetwynd, BC and his children Nathan (Kristen), Samantha (Laurenty) Evans and Kelsey; daughter, Cheryl (Bob) Andrews of Oliver and their children Brad (Monica) and great-grandsons, Jaden, Mateo, Tristen and Gavin of Calgary; Christie (Ryan) of Burnaby and Scott of Burnaby; daughter in-law, Joanne and daughters, Barbara and Jennifer of Calgary; sister, Thelma Schmok, Salmon Arm, and Vivian Matheos, Burnaby and many nieces and nephews.

Born in SK, the family migrated to Kelowna when she was a very young girl and stayed in Kelowna until 2001 when she and Scotty moved to Oliver to be closer to family.

Mom was pleasantly surprised how friendly people in Oli-ver were.......everyone always said hello or good morning, a friendly greeting even to someone they didn’t know.

Mom enjoyed travel with dad in their camper trailer, stop-ping at smaller golf courses along their way to enjoy a quick nine holes and lunch. Mom loved quilting, tatting, reading and crossword puzzles, but mostly enjoyed the company of family.

Condolences may be directed to the family by visiting www.nunes-pottinger.com



In loving memory

JamesAlfred (Alf)

CuthbertApr. 13, 1919 - Feb. 17, 2011

Alf was born on a small farm near Aneroid, SK to parents emigrated from Ireland. When the dust became too thick in the 1920s, the family headed north to Plato. In 1932 the family again packed up, this time to settle their homestead in Cecil Lake in the Peace River, where they remained.

Alf earned a teaching certifi cate by completing Normal School in Victoria before graduating from the Forestry pro-gram at UBC. Alf taught at Port Alberni Secondary School before moving to Burnaby and a position with the Forestry department at BCIT. During his twenty-year career at BCIT, Alf was seconded twice, once to CIDA for one year in Kenya and then to CUSO for one year in Papua, New Guinea.

After retiring, Alf and Mavis built their dream home in the Shuswap. In 1990, Alf and Mavis moved to Oliver where Alf became involved in the Cherry Grove Estates social commit-tee, the Oliver Thrift Store and the Blue Bird Society.

Alf is survived by wife, Mavis Warren; sister, Betty Walker and brother Roy Cuthbert. He will be missed by daughters Colleen Cuthbert (Glenn), Donna Morgan (Michael), son Bob Cuthbert (Leah); and grandchildren, Ariel, Dianna, Andrew, Scott, Caitlin and Meghan.

Alf was well loved and respected by all who knew him, students, colleagues, friends and family.

A Celebration of Alf’s Life will be organized at a later date.

Lions, Lioness clubs team up for jam-can curling March 12

Children wishing to enter jam-can curl-ing are urged to drop off entry forms as soon as possible at the Chronicle office. En-try forms will be printed in the March 2 is-sue of the Chronicle and are now available at the newspaper office or from Linda Schaf-frick at 250-498-3710.

The fun tournament, sponsored by Oli-ver Lions and Lioness clubs, with ice time donated by the Oliver Curling Club, takes place Saturday, March 12 at the curling rink. Curling club members also assist with their wealth of knowledge of the game. Volunteers are welcome. Pre-registration is required, preferably by teams, and indi-vidual registrations will be fit into a team if possible.

A frequently asked question is: Why is it called jam-can curling? It all began almost 30 years ago when the Lions club intro-duced the sport to the community. Since

normal curling rocks seemed to be too heavy for younger kids to handle, someone came up with the idea of purchasing large jam cans, fill them with concrete, insert a handle and thus create a kid-sized curling rock.

After more than 20 years’ use, the “rocks” became worn down and were difficult to glide down the ice surface with accuracy.

The local curling club could see the di-lemma and allowed kids to use real curling rocks – much to the delight of youngsters. Amazingly, children were up to the chal-lenge. It has sparked enthusiasm for the sport and hopefully more children will take up curling in the future.

Curlers will be divided into two catego-ries – five to eight-year-olds and nine to age 12. Each child is guaranteed two games and will receive a free hot dog, pop and rib-bon for their $3 entry fee.

Emphasis will be on participation and in-troducing the sport to a new generation of children.
