Store owner/operator Marcello Garofalo and his wife Teresa are counting the days to when the new Canadian Tire store opens for business, tentatively on February 24. Approximately 35 employ-ees, mostly from Oliver, have been hired. The shelving is now up and merchandising has begun.

New Canadian Tire almost ready for business

It’s what Oliver has waited a long time for – a new em-ployer with jobs to boost a tired economy.

The Canadian Tire store at Southwinds Crossing is al-most ready for business with a tentative opening date of February 24. And new owner/operator Marcello Garofalo is counting the days.

“We’re part of the community now,” he told the Chroni-cle, with his wife Teresa by his side.

The Garofalos recently moved to Oliver from Toronto with their two young children. Admittedly, it’s been a whirlwind of change for the family, but an exciting one.

Marcello has wanted to own his own Canadian Tire store for years (15 years to be exact), and he’ll never forget that phone call sealing the deal.

“Really, are you sure?” he asked Canadian Tire head-quarters. It just didn’t feel real. But it does now as he pre-pares for February 24 and the grand opening on April 28.

A two-day job fair at Oliver WorkZone in December re-sulted in 210 people being interviewed for approximately 35 jobs. About 80 people were shortlisted before the fi nal selection was made.

Marcello noted about 85 per cent of the people hired come from the Oliver area, while the remainder come from Osoyoos and Keremeos.

“We had a lot of variety of skill sets at the job fair . . . it

was a good mix,” he said.Most of the employees are expected to begin working

this week putting shelving together and merchandising the stock. About 98 per cent of the building’s construction phase is complete, so the big job now is getting ready for the stock.

The retail fl oor space is 14,000 square feet, while the warehouse and garden centre are 5,000 square feet each. There are eight different departments, including general repair, home décor, housewares, sports and leisure, sea-sonal, gardening, automotive service, and parts.

The automotive department will feature three, state-of-the-art service bays, including one especially for RVs.

Marcello said the building is classifi ed as a “smart store” because of the way it’s laid out, which makes it easier to navigate and fi nd prod-ucts. Also, staff will have quick Internet access to provide product information on the spot.

In addition, the store is very energy con-scious, Marcello pointed out. For example, it has installed sensors to ensure that lighting and wa-ter are used effi ciently.

The owner said his goal is to support the com-munity as much as possible. “The main thing is creating new jobs in the area.”

Marcello stated that Canadian Tire prides it-self in supporting community events and vari-ous sports associations, such as minor hockey. The company has a program called “Jumpstart,”

which helps youth get involved in organized sports.

Marcello said owning your own store allows you to cater to the community in different ways. He noted if people request a particular product they don’t see on the shelf, he will order it.

“I’d like to keep Oliver dollars in Oliver,” he said, noting this is the one goal he would like to work on with local retailers.

Marcello said Oliver has a lot of potential and will reap the benefi ts that Southwinds Crossing will bring.

“I think it will encourage more business to come here and more people to settle in Oli-ver because of more accessibility to goods and stores.”

Canadian Tire has literally been Marcello’s life. He started working for the company at age 15 as a part-time hardware clerk. After fi nishing school, he worked his way up the ladder, holding various positions including automotive supervi-sor and store manager.

It was at Canadian Tire where he met his wife Teresa, who was working as a cashier.

“I saw her and the fog started coming over me, and then the music started playing (just like in the movies).”

How about that? Not only can you fi nd an oil fi lter at Canadian Tire, but a romance, too.

RDOS in the process of researching water utilityThe RDOS is in the process of researching the

Willowbrook Utilities water system before it makes a decision to take it over.

Last week the RDOS board voted to apply for a restructure implementation grant to help it do the research.

The owner of Willowbrook Utilities recently sent a request to have the RDOS own and oper-ate the water system in Area C. The utility serves approximately 500 residents and 77 parcels.

RDOS subdivision supervisor S. Juch said the grant will fund a review of the water utility and

cover administrative costs.Area C Director Allan Patton said the RDOS is

concerned about taking on “big liabilities,” but he noted the Willowbrook utility isn’t too bad.

In these cases, the RDOS is eligible for infra-structure grants from the BC government.

McIntyre Bluff is quite famous

Enjoy your meal from our view of McIntyre Bluff while dining fireside

McIntrye Bluff, Battle Bluff or its Indian name “N-Sh-Uh-Teet Qu”, is still prob-ably the most famous landmark in the Okanagan. Everyone has their own version of the legend surrounding this imposing cliff.

Generally it is called McIntyre Bluff after pioneer Pete McIntyre who settled on the land at the base of the bluff in 1892 and planted the fi rst small orchard in the area. Although at the time there was no irrigation systems and very little hint of what the valley would become, he persevered and the bluff offi cially bears his name.

The Indian name is perhaps the most descriptive for it means “Where the Rock Bluff Meets the River” and was given to the bluff by the Okanagan tribe.

Battle Bluff is used to recognize the Indian massacre which supposedly took place there. According to the Indian legend: one autumn before the white men came to the valley a Nicola Indian war party moved undetected through the Similkmeen Valley and managed to slip over the range dividing the two valleys by way of a seldom used trail and stopped. However as night began to settle in a young boy noticed movement on the top of the ridge and asked a warrior who could possibly be on top of the big bluff. The chief ascertained that no one from their tribe was up there and plans were made to stealthily surround the intruders by way of a southern trail. This was accomplished during the night and in the morning the Nicola band found themselves surrounded. A short but vicious battle ensued and many of the victims were hurled over the rim to the rocks hundreds of feet below There was only one Nicola tribe survivor, a young boy, who was sent back to his own plateau country to tell his tale and thus dissuade any further attacks.

And this is why legend has it, that if you look closely at the face of the cliff you can visualize an Indian head - an imposing, silent monument to the tragedy.The truth of the legend remains unresolved: In fact there are a number of versions. An-other version tells of an Indian maiden who was responsible for warning of an impend-ing attack by the Shuswap tribe. Supposedly her image is imprinted on the face of the bluff. Indian artifacts have been found below the bluff and skeletons were supposedly uncovered during the excavations.

Heat damageA swift response from the Oliver Fire Department saved an affordable housing unit at 34391-103 Street last week. No-body was injured, but the building sustained smoke and heat damage. From left, Rick Stagg and Rob Graham carry out bedroom furnishings that were damaged in the fi re. The cause was not reported.

Man arrested on warrantOliver/Osoyoos RCMP and Rural GIS members arrest-

ed long-time Oliver resident Delmar Scott on January 22 for an outstanding warrant.

Incidental to his arrest, police located more than two ounces of cocaine, a large amount of money and other drug paraphernalia.

Scott was remanded into custody to answer to charg-es of possession of a controlled substance for the pur-pose of traffi cking.

Scott is presently facing similar charges of posses-sion of a controlled substance (for the purpose of traf-fi cking), stemming from drug charges in 2009 involving more than an ounce of cocaine.

At the time of his arrest on January 22, Scott was at large on an undertaking on strict conditions.

Thief soughtOliver RCMP is looking for a thief or thieves who ran-

sacked the vehicles of a local company and stole some tools.

The owner of I-Tech Electrical Services on 99 Street reported that someone entered a couple of company vans and stole an inverter and a paint sprayer.

Police are still investigating, but no suspects have been identifi ed.

Slip, sliding awayPolice, ambulance and tow truck drivers were busy

last Friday dealing with motor vehicle accidents despite not a lot of snow on the road.

One small vehicle sustained signfi cant front-end dam-age after losing control on Highway 97 near Gallagher Lake. Road conditions that morning were slippery. It is unknown what injuries the driver suffered.

Town questions BC Stats figures

A BC government report showing stunted population growth in Oliver isn’t an accurate portrayal of what’s re-ally going on, according to the Town.

Acting Mayor Jack Bennest quickly responded to the report by BC Stats that shows Oliver’s population growth declining by five per cent.

BC Stats offer the following estimates: 4,594 in 2008; 4,789 in 2009; and 4,551 in 2010. This indicates a drop of 238 people from last year, putting Oliver near the bottom of the government’s municipal growth chart.

Bennest said estimations done by computer for 2009 could be showing an anomaly (deviation from common rule). He stated the loss of population in Oliver is minor, noting the community’s real drop is closer to 1 per cent if averaged into a trend. Census for 2010 will be more accu-rate, he pointed out.

The acting mayor said provincial trends indicate de-

clining school enrolment, an aging population, and fewer people per housing unit. He noted Oliver has many more housing units than in 2006.

“Oliver is affected by business investment choices, and the Town’s “smart growth” policies will continue to im-prove all facets of life here,” Bennest said.

He noted more people are flocking to cities and fewer people are moving to rural areas.

“Land here is attracting a retirement community not ad-verse to slow growth and peaceful neighbourhoods.”

Bennest said Oliver is a small parcel of land in a large region. He pegs the entire community of Oliver at 10,000 people when you consider the Town, the Osoyoos Indian Band, and Area C. All of these areas are in friendly competi-tion for industry and jobs, he pointed out.

Bennest said the town is restricted by a dwindling land base and ALR restrictions. “Both are important in forcing planning to look at growing up rather than increasing sprawl.”

Municipal Manager Tom Szalay told the media that population figures go up and down. He said the figures provided by BC Stats certainly don’t mean Oliver is clos-ing up shop. He pointed to the new Southwinds Crossing development as proof.

The long-awaited street naming draft came before coun-cil on Monday, completing another step in the proposal to change Oliver’s street numbering system.

Council accepted Town staff’s recommendations that would see council: adopt in principle the street naming proposal outlined in Schedule 1 of this report; that the technical details of Schedule 1 be discussed by the street-naming committee in February; that Schedule 1 be pre-sented to the public at one or more public meetings in February or March to explain the proposed street-naming system and to identify how changes may be requested; and that staff report back to council in May at the conclusion of the above process, with a final street naming and addressing proposal and a detailed implementation schedule.

The 25-page comprehensive report de-veloped by staff and Councillor Michael Newman, chair of the Street Names and House Address Committee, grew out of an October 25, 2010 resolution to proceed with street naming 0ption 3 (maximum four-digit house numbers, retention of traditional names for major streets, and a move to street names for other streets).

Newman addressed council Monday night. “We have a report and it is far too long for me to even summarize but it will be widely available. It contains a lot of the structure and reasons behind various roadways and nam-ing conventions.”

That report is available on the Town’s website and New-man has posted a copy on his own website www.new-manandnewman.ca/streets where residents can read the history and rationale of the report and its choices, and then go to the specific mapping of their area to see what their new street name will be.

However, it is the 10 neighbourhoods that are at the crux of Newman’s report. Taking into account a town sub-ject to the divisive dictates of water, rock, marsh and other natural impediments, staff worked to bring cohesiveness to the neighbourhoods by assigning themes to them, and then gave them continuity and ease of navigation by as-suring the street names reflect those themes. And in areas confounded by cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets, the re-port’s authors simplified the situation even further: a cul-de-sac off a named street such as Morningstar Road could become Morningstar Court; a dead-end road off Newton Street might bear the name Newton Place.

Stated Newman, “Staff and the committee have gone through and assigned names to all of the streets. They are the proposed names; we have not yet got out the chisel and put it in stone. There will be a period of consultation over the next month with the residents of the community and

there will be an opportunity for them to give feedback. There will also be an opportunity for the residents of any street to challenge the name they’ve been given, although the requirement is that—because we are themed—they will have to pick a replacement from (a list) within that theme.”

And what are those 10 neighbourhoods? There’s Fair-view-Rockcliffe where the names reflect the region’s min-ing history; the Acre lots neighbourhood where BC river names will grace the street signs; the Downtown-Townsite area whose names recall landmarks past and current.

Residents in the School Area above the old town will see scientific discoverers’ names like Da Vinci and Galileo at-

tain prominence; in the Airport Industrial Area names like Airport, Cessna and South-wind will be self-explanatory; in the Hospital Area, the streets closest to the OIB office will have cultural First Nations animal names, while others like McKinney Road and Spill-way will revert to their traditional names. Then there’s Bellevue which will adopt vari-ous ‘view” names, while the power trans-mission lines will have an as yet undecided utility name. The Meadows in the flood plain between the Bellevue area and the Okanagan River is a neighbourhood whose streets will sport various plants and animals or physical features common to wetlands.

West Tucelnuit (new spelling) will see its smaller streets named after fruit crops that have been or are being grown in the Oliver area, while the north-south through streets

bear the names of adjacent areas. Lastly, residents in the Lake Perimeter will see the roads skirting the east and west shores named Tucelnuit Dr. and Lakeshore Dr. respective-ly, while the dead-end roads leading to the lake are being named after water birds that either live in or migrate to the South Okanagan.

However, the committee did not forget or ignore the traditional names like Black Sage, Sawmill, Fairview and Rockcliffe that imprinted themselves on the town even during the years it held to a numerical system. They will continue to have their place in the new system; other names like Fir, Pine, Spruce and Maple will touch on the town’s past reliance on the sawmill, while Packinghouse Lane is a reminder that the past blends into the present and future.

House numbering was addressed in the report also and can be accessed on Newman’s website and the Town’s. It is too detailed to unravel here, but a quirk of placement and numbering will mean the South Okanagan General Hospi-tal has the number 911.

Concluded Newman, “Look up (the website) and get ready for the public meetings we will have. We are looking for feedback. My email is up there, people know where I live, and I can be approached in the supermarket. So give me your feedback.”

Town looking for local ‘buy-in’ for climate plan

For some people, Oliver’s Climate Action Plans would be a good cure for insomnia. For others, it’s a move we can’t afford to ignore.

Council recently looked at the final drafts of the corporate and community Cli-mate Action Plans, which will attempt to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The province has set an aggressive goal to reduce GHG emissions by 33 per cent by 2020. As part of the BC Climate Action Charter, the Town of Oliver has set reduc-tion targets of its own.

Its corporate plan identifies opportuni-ties to reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions (by 10 per cent) in munici-pal operations over the next 10 years. The Town will aim to achieve an interim reduc-tion of five per cent below 2009 levels by 2015.

The goal of the community plan is to re-duce emissions by two per cent by 2020 and 10 per cent by 2030.

To date, the Town has undertaken some retrofit activities in office buildings, such as lighting upgrades and the replacement of old furnaces with high-efficiency natu-ral gas furnaces.

The Town is currently working with “Destination Conservation” to reduce fuel consumption, save dollars, reduce GHG emissions and improve efficiencies by: re-ducing unnecessary trips; educating crews on smart driving and idling reduction op-portunities; and improving fleet mainte-nance.

Councillor Terry Schafer said potential GHG reduction projects include xeriscap-

ing the cemetery and “geothermalling” the Town Hall and Public Works yard.

But he noted the Town needs “buy-in” from Oliver residents to make an impact.

“Those who may wish to lower their electrical bills by installing geo-thermal, air-to-air heat pumping, solar heating or solar hot water will be helping the commu-nity achieve carbon neutrality and saving money,”

Schafer said he hopes the Town can find ways and means of assisting residents in this regard.

He stated another possible side effect in the attempt to become carbon neutral could be the creation of businesses that specialize in the provision of carbon re-duction services. For example, Schafer was shocked at his last power bill, which prompted him to begin creating a solar hot water system.

“As energy costs continue to rise people are going to be looking for energy saving initiatives, and services should develop ac-cordingly.”

The councillor concedes that if every person in every community in BC made radical changes towards carbon neutrality, it would only help slow down the rate of climate change, not restore anything.

“But it does feel good to being even a small part of the solution as opposed to making things worse at an increasing rate . . . and if you can save money doing it, all the better.”

Once endorsed, the Town will incorpo-rate the Climate Action Plans into its Of-ficial Community Plan. This will include additional open houses or public hearings in March.

Driver fails breath test aftermissing corner on 93 Street

Councillor Terry Schafer has been working on his own climate action plans, including a solar hot water system for his house after experiencing the highest electricity bill ever from FortisBC.


Oliver RCMP was dispatched to a single vehicle collision in the 33,600 block of 93 St. recently.

A witness at the scene advised that a brown Dodge Stratus had missed a corner and went into a neighbouring yard. Of-ficers attended and located the driver, a 22-year-old male from Oliver.

The driver stated that he lost control on

gravel and crashed. The attending officer noted an odour of liquor on the driver’s breath and requested the driver provide a roadside breath sample. The driver pro-vided two samples, both of which resulted in a “fail” on the roadside screening device.

The driver was issued a 90-day Immedi-ate Roadside Prohibition and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days.

It’s hard to relate to poverty if you’ve never been there.

But the fi lm that was shown at the recent poverty forum in Oliver gave you a little taste of what being poor is like.

Although a one-sided fi lm, “Poor No More” is an eye-opener that helps you relate to the struggles that many families endure to make a living. And when the end credits roll, you feel great contempt for the Canadian government and all the big corporations in bed with it.

Host Mary Walsh raises a good question: With all the money in Canada, why do we have so much poverty? There should be more than enough money to go around.

But not surprisingly the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen. The fact that many corporations don’t pay taxes or defer them is dumbfounding. You try that and see how far you get (hauled off to the nearest jail).

There is something seriously wrong when wages don’t match the cost of living, and when the rent eats up more than half of your paycheque.

It is so diffi cult to get ahead in this country. You make a little money and the government takes it away. You fall on hard times and the system dehumanizes you.

The heartbreaking stories you hear are a real testament that drastic change is needed. Your MP Alex Atamanenko acknowledges this, but says we need the right people in government to make this happen.

If you don’t want to wait that long, you can always move to Sweden, where healthcare, childcare and post-second-ary education is free.

Although the subject matter was depressing, it was en-couraging to see so many people attend the forum in Oli-ver. We just hope the ball continues to roll.

The problem is that after people vent and have their say, that’s where it ends; no action is forthcoming. So we sug-gest that a local committee be formed to lobby for change (just like the big corporations do for their benefi t).

Instead of bailing out a bank or sending millions in aid dollars overseas, why not help the poor next door get back on their feet again? Why not make it a priority to set aside more land for affordable housing? Why not close the tax havens for big business and make corporations pay their fair share? Why don’t the banks donate their preposterous service charges to set up special accounts for the needy?

Is all this fairness and goodwill too much to ask?

Oliver doesn’t need more noise pollution and its many effects

Editor, Oliver Chronicle:

Helicopters equal noise pollution, noise pollution affects bugs and animals, bugs affected by noise pollution cannot do their jobs - pollinate vines, fruit trees and other crops.

Therefore, I’m thinking more jobs will be lost (not to mention food) than the few that will be created. Let us also factor in the echoing in the valley of the helicopter noise. Our valley of heaven in the Okanagan is the perfect design to really echo.

It is rumoured that people who live by a noisy airport die fi ve years earlier. Hmmm.

I suggest we all do some research on the noise pol-lution from the proposed venture (helicopter train-ing school). Here is a good place to start: http://www.google.ca/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=noise+pollution+stats+of+helicopters&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&ei=eT43TdulBZKosAOErZX-Ag

Published addresses confusingEditor, Oliver Chronicle:

It is confusing to me how locations in Oliver have been changed in your paper from what is normal for a grid sys-tem of street naming.

Two cities that have this system are Surrey and Edmon-ton. It is very easy to fi nd locations in these cities.

Example: break-in in the 36,800 block of 79 Street. This

break-in is in the area of the corner of 368 Ave. and 79 St. I suggest this address be written in your paper as “368 block of 79 St.” or “near the corner of 368 Ave. and 79 St.”

The Chronicle’s address of 36083 97 St. says it is located on 97 St. and the cross street is 360 Ave.

Thanks, but no thanks, let’s leave Oliver the way it is, a tranquil area

Editor, Oliver Chronicle:

I have lived in large cities all over Canada, and moved to Oliver nine years ago, mainly because of the nice, quiet area.

My wife and l bought a home on 95 St., next to the air-port knowing it was a private airport at that time, and have enjoyed all the things they do there from antique airplanes to the gliders.

To now introduce a helicopter training school across the street from my house will without a doubt destroy this

peace and tranquil area of town. I agree 100 per cent with Bob Parker who sent a letter

to the editor, printed in the Chronicle on January 19 about eroding our peace. Also as a footnote, the black and silver helicopter that comes and goes can rattle my wife’s china cupboards now, and is louder than any Harley Davidson l have ever heard. One wonders what it would be like with a training school.

So l have to say thanks but no thanks, let’s leave Oliver the way it is . . . quiet.

Haitian politics convoluted, enter ‘Baby Doc’

We need to find cure for the bluefin tuna blues

David Suzuki

Gwynne Dyer

The bluefin tuna is extreme-ly valuable. One fish weighing about 340 kilograms sold for almost $400,000 in Tokyo's Tsukiji fish market in early January. But that’s just the market value – which, sadly, appears to be the only value taken into account when we consider the bluefin or any other “resource”.

The bluefin is economically valuable for a number of reasons. It’s very tasty, prized by sushi lovers the world over, especially in Japan. Sports fishers like them because they are powerful and fast and put up a good fight. Unfortunately, the main reason they are commanding such high prices is that they have become precari-ously rare.

The bluefin tuna is unusual. Unlike most fish, it is warm-blooded, which allows it to migrate great distances, from the cold waters off Iceland to the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Mediterranean. Their unique colouring – steely blue on top and silvery white on the bottom – cam-ouflages them from predators above and below. They can move at speeds up to 70 kilometres an hour, thanks to their sleek shape and ability to retract their dorsal and pectoral fins. They have large appe-tites, satisfied by a varied diet consisting of smaller fish, crustaceans, eels, squid, and sometimes even kelp.

In the 1970s, increasing demand and prices led fishing companies to find more efficient ways to harvest bluefin. Stocks, especially of breeding-age fish, have since plummeted by more than 80 per cent over the past 40 years. The bluefin is listed by the International Union for the Conserva-tion of Nature as “critically endangered”. Although this has led to some conservation efforts, continued legal and illegal fishing of the bluefin is pushing the fish closer to the edge. Last year, Japan led other nations to vote at the United Nations' Convention on International Trade in Endangered Spe-cies against a ban on fishing for bluefin.

And so, bluefin tuna continues to draw bidders at Tsukiji, the world’s largest fish market. In the more than two decades since my first visit there, I’ve been amazed by

the decrease in average size and in abundance of species such as bluefin, and by the fact that sea-food in Japan is brought to market from all over the planet.

In view of pronouncements by scientists about the imminent extinction of bluefin tuna and the possible emptying of oceans by mid-century, I recently asked some Japanese people to imagine their country without fish. “Fish

are your history, your culture, your very physical makeup,” I said. But when I asked why Japan isn’t then leading the fight to protect the world’s oceans I was met by blank stares – and this from people who are environmentally aware. Globalization has allowed Japan to live on fish plundered from around the world, whereas only a century ago they lived on what their local waters contained.

One problem is the way we look at eco-nomics. There is no competing market for conservation of biodiversity – no one is willing to pay $400,000 to have fishermen leave this fish alone. Given the current demand – and prices – for bluefin tuna, it would be economically profitable to catch the very last fish. It would be worth some-one’s time to fish for four years just to land a single tuna. Meanwhile, other less desir-able fish stocks for which there are market substitutes tend to become unprofitable when the stocks get too low because the expense to catch them is greater than the market price.

Governments worldwide have contrib-uted to the overexploitation of the blue-fin and many other fish by subsidizing the commercial fishing industry with billions of dollars every year, much of it to build and modernize fishing vessels.

We must continue to call for a ban on fishing for bluefin and other endangered species and push for better regulation and enforcement when it comes to global fisheries. As consumers, we should also in-crease our awareness about seafood, and avoid eating fish that are in danger. If peo-ple in countries like Japan and China were to get serious about sustainable seafood, that would help as well. It would also be great if we could shift our thinking about

A confidential 2006 cable from the US embassy in Haiti, subsequently made public by Wikileaks, said that the United States viewed the possi-ble return of either of the two exiled Haitian ex-presidents, Jean-Bertrand Aristide or Jean-Claude Duvalier, as “unhelpful”. But one of them, for-mer president-for-life Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier, is already back in Haiti, probably with Washington’s approval.

“Baby Doc” took over the dictatorship from his dying father, Francois “Papa Doc” Duvalier, at the age of nine-teen in 1971, and ruled with same brutality and greed as his father until he was driven from power and into exile in 1986. What can have made him think it was a good idea to come back now?

If you believe the headlines, he has made a dreadful mis-take. On 18 January, only two days after his return, “Baby Doc” was brought before a court in Port-au-Prince and charged with official corruption, embezzlement of funds, money laundering and assassination. But things are not al-ways what they seem.

First, there is the fact that both the United States and France, where Duvalier was living in exile, would have been keeping track of him, and must have known of his intention to return. Indeed, they probably put him up to it: he was travelling on a long-expired diplomatic passport, and would never have been allowed to board the plane to Haiti if Washington and Paris had not quietly blessed his trip.

Secondly, he may never see the inside of a jail. He was set free after the court hearing without even having to

post bail, and the chief magistrate has ninety days to de-cide whether there is enough evidence to bring him to trial. A lot can happen in ninety days.

Thirdly, “Baby Doc” has some support in Haiti, as wit-ness the crowds chanting support for him outside the court. It’s 25 years since he left power, and most of the ten million Haitians are under 25. They don’t remember the kidnappings, torture and murder of opponents of the Du-valiers, father and son, by the regime’s militia, the Tonton Macoute.

They do remember their parents saying that Haitians lived better under the Duvaliers, and unfortunately, it is true. Since then they have seen some intervals of democ-racy, punctuated by military coups and foreign interven-tions, but living standards had declined steeply even be-fore the huge earthquake last year that killed 3 percent of the population.

So “Baby Doc” is not just a deluded no-hoper, although he is unlikely ever to be president again. His presence in Haiti will frighten the outgoing president, Rene Preval, and his chosen successor, Jude Celestin – as it was doubtless in-tended to do.

Haiti has been in a protracted political crisis since the presidential election last November, with accusations of fraud flying in all directions. The outside powers that have effectively run the country since 2004, the United States, Canada and France, didn’t want Preval’s candidate to win, and they are making sure he doesn’t.

Preval was a little too independent-minded for their taste, though nobody would accuse him of being a raving leftist. They must have feared that Celestin would also have a mind of his own, because they altered the outcome of the recent election to make sure that he wasn’t in the run-off.

It was not very subtly done. Celestin came second in the

election, and since no candidate had won 50 percent of the vote he should have been a candidate in the run-off second round. But then the “expert verification mission” – six of whose seven “experts” come from the United States, Cana-da or France – changed the results.

They disqualified a lot of pro-Celestin votes, push-ing him down to third place, but they didn’t actually do a recount. They just arbitrarily threw out 234 tally sheets, mostly from areas that were pro-Celestin. They didn’t even examine more than 90 percent of the ballot sheets.

The man now facing front-runner Mirlande Manigat in the run-off, according to those “experts”, is Haiti’s best-known pop musician, Michel Martelly, who is as reliably pro-Washington as she is. If that decision stands, Celestin falls. But Rene Preval’s government is still resisting that decision, so it was time to frighten him into submission. Enter “Baby Doc”.

Or at least, that’s probably what’s happening, though it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Why not? Because what hap-pens in Haiti doesn’t really matter in the least to the Unit-ed States, Canada or France.

Haitian politics are convoluted and turbulent because the major players have no loyalty beyond their own self-interest, but so long as the other exiled ex-president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, doesn’t come back, the game is of no im-portance to the outside powers. Aristide, currently living in South Africa, could play a role in the Caribbean similar to that of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela if he regained power, but that is not currently on the cards.

What is going on in Haiti at the moment is actually just Brownian motion. The outside powers have nothing im-portant at stake, but the music goes on playing so they feel that they have to dance. Foolish and futile, but perfectly normal.

Louie is longest elected chiefof 25 years, feels honoured

Photo contributed

Osoyoos Indian Band Chief Clarence Louie was re-elected again, making him the longest elected chief in the entire Okan-agan Nation.

His recent re-election by acclamation makes Osoyoos In-dian Band Chief Clarence Louie the longest elected chief (of 25 years) in the entire Okanagan Nation.

“I am always honored to represent OIB in any way I can,” Louie told the Chronicle.

But a signifi cant fact for him is seeing the many OIB youth never experiencing another OIB chief. He said this brings with it a huge responsibility that most will never experience.

“But I know rez politics better than most, and just be-cause I won by acclamation does not mean that all OIB members support me as chief – some never will – but in a democracy no one needs 100 per cent support or nothing would ever get done.”

Louie said the election brings no time for celebration but much refl ection and remembrance for one of the OIB’s past leaders, Ethan Baptiste, who died in a car accident last summer.

“I and many others will miss him big time this round.”Baptiste ran against Louie two years ago but lost by a

small margin.As far as Louie’s goals as re-elected chief, he said there

is no fi nish line in all the important socio-economic work that needs to be done on the reservation.

“We have a lot of unfi nished work and many challeng-es. Anyone who runs a business knows goals are always a moving target.”

But Louie said the OIB hopes to get the golf course hous-ing development going this year as well as the new busi-ness park. He noted they want to continue to create jobs and bring more income and opportunity to the South Okanagan.

The OIB council election next month will see eight peo-ple running for four seats. The incumbents are Theresa Gabriel, Charlotte Stringham, Tony Baptiste and Veronica McGinnis.

The four challengers are Thomas Alex, Jarrah Feist, Kathy Falkus, and Helen Gallagher.

“Baby boomers” in Oliver, like their counterparts around the rest of the country, have a troubling lack of awareness about Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new online survey.

“The gap in awareness in BC is sounding alarm bells as to whether our largest population is prepared for the rising tide of dementia that is ahead,” says Laurie Myres, the Oliver support and education coordinator for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of BC.

Perhaps more troubling, she adds, is that respon-dents to the national sur-vey were unfamiliar with controllable risk factors associated with Alzheim-er’s disease, such as obesi-ty, diabetes, heart disease and chronic depression.

“Awareness and educa-tion are the cornerstones for risk reduction particu-larly since there is yet no cure or treatment to stop the progression of Al-zheimer’s disease,” Myres says.

“People need to take care of their brain health. We need to work together to support those who are already on the dementia journey and to find the causes and cure for this devastating disease.”

The survey was released earlier this month to kick off national Alzheimer Awareness Month. Among its findings: Twenty-four per cent of BC baby boom-ers can’t name any of the early signs of Alzheimer’s

This is worrisome, Myres says, because the risk level for boomers doubles every five years after age 65. And boom-ers make up almost 30 per

cent of the overall population in the province.

Less than half of those surveyed in BC were able to identify later-stage symptoms other than the most com-monly known loss of memory.

“This indicates a general lack of awareness of life-altering changes such as hallucinations and complete dependency on others for basic care,” she says.

Oliver residents can test their

own knowledge by taking the sur-vey at www.alzheimerbc.org/tes-tyourknowledge.aspx.

“We want everyone, especially those 40 and older, to learn about Al-zheimer’s disease, know the warning signs, and reduce their risk by making simple lifestyle changes.”

Council to address local cemetery concerns

Town Council has been asked to tour the Oliver cemetery in order to better under-stand a recent letter of concern.

In the letter, Maria Cancela from Oliver, points out a concern with the “Sumac” and “Pine” sections of the cemetery. She noted these sections do not permit elevated head-stones, yet other areas in the cemetery do.

“If this is a cost saving measure, is Coun-cil comfortable with a lower level of ser-vice to cemetery patrons in order to save money?”

Cancela said it is obvious by visiting the cemetery that loved ones have had to do their own level of maintenance to ensure their headstones are not overgrown.

Cancela said she is not permitted (along with others) to leave articles of affection at the cemetery, such as flowers, candles or vases during the April to October mowing season (unless she removes these articles herself every day). She questions why this policy only applies to particular areas.

Cancela suggested staff investigate the one-time cost of xeriscaping the corridor of headstones to assist in the lawn mowing issue. She also suggested Council members tour the cemetery with staff and caretakers to discuss possible solutions to the above concerns.

Municipal Manager Tom Szalay said most of the burial areas do not allow raised markers. This policy was instituted several decades ago to simplify maintenance and keep costs affordable.

Szalay said upright markers have been allowed in the older sections of the ceme-tery, but some have been installed haphaz-ardly, making weekly maintenance more challenging. As a result, some of these ar-eas tend to look unkempt.

In response to requests, the Town re-cently opened up two newer burial areas that accept upright markers. Families using these sections must pay an additional $300 per grave site for the Town to install a row of concrete pads to support the markers and still allow mowing (without the need to mow around individual markers).

Szalay said Council is faced with a dif-ficult dilemma in raising taxes in a small community to enhance cemetery services when confronted with other demands com-peting for a limited tax base.

Councillor Marji Basso agreed with Can-cela that Council should tour the cemetery.

“We need to look at how the cemetery is run. There’s got to be a better way to continue mowing and not have headstones completely covered.”

Councillor Michael Newman said he’s not comfortable with the Town having the obligation of providing a high level of maintenance at the cemetery. “Families have some responsibility as well.”

Councillor Jack Bennest questioned whether local funeral homes would look at doing grave marker maintenance.

Mayor Pat Hampson said the Town pre-viously had a cemetery committee to deal with such issues. He said a previous letter of concern regarding “careless” maintenance was quite upsetting to cemetery workers.

Oliver grandmothers unite for Africans

An encouraging, enthusiastic and high energy group of some 30 women gathered on January 19 to form a local chapter of Grandmothers for Africa.

The group will join 240 other grassroots chapters in Canada to help grandmothers in sub-Saharan Africa who are caring for sick and dying children and grandchildren and fi ghting for family survival in the midst of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Inspired by the strength, determina-tion and tenacity of grandmothers every-where, the Stephen Lewis Foundation came up with the idea of linking grandmothers across the globe.

The passion and energy unleashed is making a difference in the lives of milllons of children orphaned by AIDS. Stephen Lewis is the former UN Secretary’s special envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa. He believes every dollar raised is a blow to the pan-demic and if AIDS is to be defeated it will happen at a community level, drawing on the astonishing courage and resilience of grassroots organizations in Africa.

There are 14 million orphans in Af-rica robbed of their parents by HIV/AIDS. Their grandmothers, having buried their own children, have taken up the burden of raising the next generation. These children are the hope of Africa but the grandmoth-ers cannot do it all alone. A whole genera-tion has mostly gone missing. Who is there

to be the wage earners? Who will drive the school bus? Who will comfort the children? Feed them? Love them?

Granny projects assist by providing pri-mary education and daycare, food, upgrad-ed housing, purchase of garden plots, small business loans, teaching and counselling about AIDS prevention.

In Canada each local group decides how best to proceed. The Oliver women were full of ideas for having fun and raising funds especially after seeing an education-al DVD showing the projects made possible in Africa. One of the huge advantages of a relatively small organization like the Ste-phen Lewis Foundation is its ability to react quickly to local needs and be a “gap fi ller” to facilitate project development.

The motto “we do what we can when we can” appealed to the Oliver group as did the notion of shared leadership at a lo-cal level so that no one stands alone in the executive positions and no one has to feel overburdened or guilty about going away on their holidays.

Lynn Popoff from the Penticton Gran-nies emphasized the organization is not restricted to grandmothers. Anyone inter-ested in the cause is welcome to join.

If you want to become a member come to the fi rst meeting on Thursday, Febru-ary 3 at 1 p.m. in the basement of the Oliver United Church.

Projects are already in the formative stages and many hands make light work.

Darwin Awards go to the most deserving imbeciles

The year 2010 was another good year for the human gene pool. Many new can-didates put themselves in the running for the Darwin Awards, given each year to the unfortunate klutzes who, through their own lack of judgment, removed their genes from the pool. They included a thick thief, a simple swimmer, dim drivers and moronic mechanics.

The Grand Canyon is a popular tourist destina-tion, with spectacular views. Since most of the views in-clude large distances in the downward direction, many warning signs are posted and many fences have been built to protect the tourists from themselves. Near some of the viewpoints, tall columns rise up out of the canyon, some of them with fl at tops. Tour-ists like to toss coins onto them and make a wish. This is where the thick thief comes in. He got a bag, climbed the fence, jumped over to the top of a column and picked up the coins. He could have tossed the full bag back over the fence, but someone might have stolen it, so he held onto it and jumped. Being a bag of coins heavier than he was before, he didn't make it.

If you've read Rudyard Kipling's just-so stories, you will have heard of the Limpopo River, which he calls the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River. In this story a young elephant is bitten on the nose by a croco-dile and the ensuing tug-of-war stretches the nose into the trunk that elephants have today. The Olifants River, the main tribu-tary of the Limpopo, also has crocodiles and swimming is prohibited. Locals know that

you do not, with a capital "do" and a capital "not," swim there. Ever. But a 27-year-old local woman was unharmed after her fi rst swim, and still okay after her second, so maybe the warnings are a little overblown? Not really. On her third dip, with no fuss or noise and barely a ripple, she found out what crocodiles like to eat for lunch.

Convertible tops and T-roofs open up new possibilities while driving cars. For one thing, they make it easier to change drivers without stopping. Unfortunately for one young lady, she lost her grip on her T-roof during the swap and ended up bouncing off the road and ending her life on impact with a guard-rail. Her passenger was able to grab the wheel and save his own life, although it did result in a charge of

driving with a suspended licence.The excitement of race day can be infec-

tious, what with all the noise and excite-ment, and people can end up doing things that they wouldn't normally do. Like the two crew members working as mechanics for one of the racing teams. They thought if they put four gallons of methanol in a steel barrel that they could sit on it, throw a match in the bung hole and enjoy a rocket-propelled ride across the parking lot. The barrel behaved less like a rocket and more like a bomb, neatly removing one man from the gene pool and scaring a little sense into the other.

And that is just a sampling of last year's Darwin Award nominees.

Growers attending the 122nd annual BC Fruit Growers’ Association convention in Penticton on January 27-28 will be bringing a number of resolutions to the floor that reflect the worries and concerns of an in-dustry beset by problems.

Glen Lucas, the BCFGA’s general manag-er noted that financial programs like Crop Insurance, AgriStability and the Replant Program are up for discussion again.

However, there are equally pressing concerns facing growers in 2011 and their importance is mirrored in the eight reso-lutions governing crop protection, as well as those under the trade, taxes and regula-tions section, which covers genetically en-gineered produce.

“Invasive pests will be at the top of peo-ple’s minds because of Spotted Wing Dro-sophila and Apple Clear Wing Moth,” Lucas said, adding that growers will be asking government to assist them in a number of ways including a compensation program, adequate funding for pest control and in-creased resources for inspection of import-ed produce.

“We’re talking about the first couple of years of a new pest’s introduction when no one knows what’s going on, what the losses will be or what can be done. Here we would like the govern-ment to acknowledge this is an adjustment period, [the pest] shouldn’t have come in, we should have had more inspections, and now you need more help,” Lucas said.

“But that’s not how their rules are written; they’ll prevent a pest from cross-ing the border but once it is here it becomes some-one else’s problem. But we would like to see more en-gagement than that from the federal government. They do some inspections at the border but clearly not enough because [SWD] arrived here. So there has to be better resources, more policy and a bit of a change in terms of what the approach is.”

Another resolution is a response to growers’ concerns they are falling behind their American cousins in terms of spray registrations. They want automatic registration for

SWD sprays that have been cleared for use in the US.

“We won’t get it without a government policy change; it is more about making a point. We could be using safer and more environmentally friendly products,” said Lucas.

A resolution requesting the auditor gen-eral investigate the Canadian Food Inspec-tion Agency’s testing program of pesticide residues on imported produce, reiterates growers’ beliefs that Ottawa doesn’t rec-ognize the higher risk associated with pro-duce imported from countries with low pesticide standards.

“For instance Chinese apple juice con-centrate is a concern. Imported products like that don’t have to meet our high stan-dards, standards that force us into a high cost of production and yet we have to com-pete with these cheaper imports. It’s like tying one hand behind our back. All we’re saying is if you are going to do that then tie one hand behind the other guy’s back too.”

And growers are seeking assurances that water currently used by agriculture re-mains with the industry.

“We recognize there are other water us-ers but we also need recognition that with-out water there is no agriculture,” Lucas said.

Parks and Rec wants trail maintenance tenure


From left, Erika Hunt, Sa-mantha Williams and So-fi e Crook follow directions during the “Princess Ballet” program at the Oliver Com-munity Centre. A number of little ballerinas (ages three to four) have enrolled in the recreation program.

The Oliver Parks and Recreation Society has ap-plied for tenure to take on the role of trail mainte-nance from the Ministry of Environment.

This was one of many agenda items discussed at the society’s recent meet-ing.

Although the ministry has done a good job in the past, the society believes it has a more vested inter-est and wishes to maintain the local trail system. So it is currently applying more pressure to obtain tenure.

According to director Al-lan Patton, the society had to go over budget on the pool liner and so applied for and was approved grant funding.

Although they had an excellent estimate on the cost, it was hard to inspect the pool closely because of the water in the pool. Parks and Recreation is paying for part of the costs but most is covered by the grant.

There was a discussion regarding the fi nancial

statements provided by the society versus the RDOS and the problem that is in-curred by not having real costs available four or fi ve months prior to providing statements.

The basic year-end re-port is almost ready but for 2011 they want to make changes to the format of the fi nancial statements.

The budget has been in-creased by 1.1 per cent for operations and mainte-nance, and then 5.5 per cent is added to this that is dedi-cated to go into the reserve fund due to the facilities getting older and in need of repair. This is a substantial one-time increase to ensure reserves are adequate.

The “Women of Oliver for Women” requested a grant and the society has agreed rather than provid-ing them with a grant it will help with their trade show and give them the non-commercial rate so they can save money.

There was a general dis-cussion on policies of giving grants and aid and staff will provide information for the next meeting.

The society wishes to establish a fi nancial com-mittee to review issues and then come to the board with a report making fu-ture meetings smoother and quicker.

Correspondence was re-ceived from Shiela Lange thanking the society for the use of the community cen-tre for the Christmas din-ner.

The SOSS Hornets, who volunteer a great deal with Parks and Recreation, re-quested and was granted a grant of $500 for their trip to Idaho.

The Oliver Curling Club is having diffi culty fi nan-cially and it has requested a one-time only grant. There are fewer registrations with less revenue, so the club has asked for assistance. The society will try and fi nd ways to help the club with fundraising and the use of its facility for special events when possible, but nothing formal was determined for this year.

Manager Bob Grant and Manager of Programs Carol Sheridan gave a report on the new compressor for the arena which was paid for from the reserves.

The New Year’s resolu-tions included fi lling up with more exercise classes and putting out a request for proposal for a multi-purpose tractor for mowing the trails and potentially Area C parks and trails.

In other news, the soci-ety appointed Mayor Pat Hampson as the new chair-person.

In-camera items dis-cussed related to labour concerns and the union.

Members of OBA talk about business ideas

The site visitFrom left to right, RDOS Chair Dan Ashton, MLA John Slater, Area C Director Allan Patton, MLA Bill Barisoff, and program manager John Davies visit the McCuddy Creek area, the site of a wildfire risk reduction project.

There was a great deal of lively discus-sion at the Oliver Business Association (OBA) meeting last week at Medici’s Gela-teria.

With membership in excess of 25, the association had a number of items on the agenda.

Attending the meeting was Laurena Weninger, recently hired by the Town to complete the “Paint the Town” project. Weninger has also been connecting with the busi-ness community remind-ing everyone that applica-tions and painting needs to be completed by March 31 to receive the available grant monies.

The next concern dis-cussed by Weninger was the empty storefront windows, and she asked the OBA for input on the best and most economical way of enhancing the windows. There are a number of options available with possible murals painted on the windows, historic picture boards or painted scenery boards that can be reused and moved to the next location when the first one is then occupied. The OBA offered

suggestions and liked the painted scenery boards as its first choice because of the mo-bility of the boards, and the offer by a local group of artists to paint the sceneries on the boards at no cost except for the cost of the boards.

The use of sandwich boards and ques-tions regarding them in relation to Town bylaws was on the agenda with the pos-

sibility of requesting an amendment to the bylaw. It was generally believed that some businesses would be negatively affected if they could not use them.

The hours of business are not consistent within the community, and the ques-tion was raised as to whether the hours should be more constant. The OBA will be requesting feedback on this. It will also be asking mem-bers to come up with ideas on possible events that could

build up business. Suggestions were made about sidewalk

sales, late night Friday shopping, and more seasonal events such as the Christmas Light Up that was held in December.

The next OBA meeting will be February 17 at 5:30 p.m. at Alberto’s Decorating Cen-tre.

C O M M U N I T Y S E C T I O NWEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2011 ISSUE 31, VOL. 75


The recent forum at the Elks Hall in Oliver attracted many people concerned about poverty. Following the film, “Poor No More,” a panel discussion took place. Shown here are members of the panel, from left, MP Alex Atamanenko, Brita Park, Tina Wallner from RCMP Victim Services, HEU regional vice-president Rhonda Bruce, and Laurene Sloboda from the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club. Atamanenko said there’s a subculture of poverty that people don’t often see.

Advocates seek to address poverty in Oliver(This is Part 1 of a two-part series on the poverty forum

held at the Elks Hall on January 13.)A film and panel discussion on poverty has sparked a

move in Oliver to help the poor live meaningful lives with-out constant struggle.

But where does one start?The panel discussion at the Elks Hall started with a film

titled “Poor No More.” It showed the bread lines of the great depression and how those bread lines still exist. In fact, food banks are an established institution in this coun-try.

Approximately 20 per cent of Canadians earn less than $10 per hour, and those interviewed in the film stated that many companies skirt the law to avoid paying decent wag-es. One cashier said she was still earning $11.10 per hour after 13 years on the job.

The film criticized the welfare system for dehumanizing people and expecting them to spend all their money before receiving a cent. And because a parent is poor and can only afford run-down accommodations, she risks having her

children taken away by social services.“We’re surrounded by the riches of the world, but there

never seems to be enough,” said the film’s host Mary Walsh.

Other criticism was levelled against big corporations and the Canadian Council of Chief Executives for control-ling politicians with its pro-wealthy lobbying efforts. It was stated some corporations avoid paying taxes altogeth-er, courtesy of tax havens permitted by the government.

“Free trade wiped out more than one million jobs in Canada,” the film stated.

Walsh and her team compared Canada’s working econ-omy to other countries, such as Sweden, which offers free childcare, free healthcare, and free post-secondary educa-tion. It was stated that even the poor can afford daycare, and part-time workers get full-time benefits.

After the film, BC Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanen-ko said there’s something wrong when we have students in Canada carrying $40,000 in debt and students in Sweden don’t pay tuition.

It was noted, however, that the Swedes pay very high taxes.

Atamanenko told the Oliver audience that a subculture

of poverty exists, a culture that many of us don’t come in contact with. “It’s there, and it’s time we have to address it.”

Roxie Van Aller, executive director of Desert Sun Coun-selling and Resource Centre, was one of several panelists at the forum.

“What we see at Desert Sun is the working poor are be-coming a greater issue in our communities.”

Van Aller noted that people are struggling with men-tal health issues, loss of employment, and drug abuse. She stated if anyone is struggling or isolated at home, that per-son should get an advocate to help open some doors.

Jim Ouellette, representing the Oliver food bank, said he sees poverty in different ways. He admitted that before he started working at the food bank, he didn’t realize there was so much poverty around. But food bank volunteers in Oliver serve about 150 people a week, Ouellette pointed out.

The panelist noted there’s a false impression that only useless, lazy people utilize the food bank. Some have lost their jobs, he said.

“We’ve built a community (in Oliver) geared for seniors.

We need young people to look after us (old folks),” Ouellette said.

Laurene Sloboda from the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs said most of the clients they counsel have experienced poverty, forcing them to rely on food banks.

She stated people get frustrated when their welfare payment doesn’t cover the rent, or when their minimum wage doesn’t cover daycare costs.

Sloboda said a lot of youth are faced with anxiety when confronted with poverty, which can lead to domestic abuse and de-linquency.

RCMP Victim Services spokesperson Tina Wallner said poverty is a huge bar-rier to women leaving abusive relation-ships. She noted that 50 to 60 per cent of the men, women and children she sees in the program have experienced poverty. She also stated a lack of transportation is another barrier to people getting the help they need.

Panelist Brita Park spoke on behalf of

Helen Overnes, president of the Oliver Women’s Institute. Reading from a letter, Park said the community was self suffi -cient at one point, with youth working on the farm and parents managing without the food bank. But that has changed. The community lost General Coach, food prices have gone up, and parents have to pay 40-60 per cent of their income on rent.

Park said the government was asked to raise the minimum wage, but its response was that would cause unemployment.

“We have 200 people suffering with ad-diction problems resulting in many kids going to school hungry,” Park said.

According to Overnes, teenagers are now growing up feeling they are entitled to ev-erything because they live in a material world.

The Women’s Institute believes Oliver’s biggest challenge is affordable rental hous-ing.

Anti-poverty advocates speak out at meeting

...Continued from Pg B1

Literacy day will be magical Families across Canada are encouraged

to celebrate Family Literacy Day on Janu-ary 27. This special day promotes reading and learning together.

Each year the Oliver Library looks for a unique way to promote this important oc-casion. With the generous support of the Kiwanis Club and the Friends of the Library, the library will present a show by “Sam the Magic Man,” a professional touring magi-

cian and illusionist. Sam performed here in 2007 and even the skeptics in the crowd were enthralled as items vanished without a trace and things appeared with the tap of his wand. And remember the sudden and startling appearance of Fluffy the Rabbit?

Join the staff this Thursay at 7 p.m. at the library for this free family event. All ages are welcome to attend and there will be some great door prizes to give away.

Retiree gives her heart to orphanage in KenyaSo far, my retirement has been far from relaxing. And I

couldn’t be happier!Since I retired from the South Okanagan General Hospi-

tal in 2000, I’ve started an orphanage in Kenya, “Compas-sion House Kenya,” which now provides a loving home and education for 14 boys and girls between the ages of two and 18. I’ve also increased my involvement in my church and have become part of several Oliver families as a part-time nanny.

Yes, I love kids. I’ve also known since the age of fi ve that I would go to Africa, my heart has always been drawn there.

My African adventure began in 1969 when my former husband and I and our toddler journeyed to Kenya for the fi rst time. We were there for seven years, with our main project being a poly-technical school for young people. We formed some close working relationships with local fami-lies while we were there, including my best friends in Ke-nya, now our local agents at the orphanage, the Bushebi family. In fact, I have known the director of our orphan-age, Dalmas Bushebi, since he was two years old. It is very gratifying that the next generation of both our families is assuming a role in Compassion House.

It has been a great pleasure to watch our orphanage kids mature. The fi rst child we took in, Joseph Simiyu, has grown from four years to 10 and is now thriving. When he was fi rst brought to us he had been living on the street and was suffering from a number of severe health problems. Some of the older children that joined us as young teenag-ers are now completing high school, and looking forward to college.

Compassion House grew out of a feeding program for street children. When I fi rst went back to Kenya after my retirement, I was shocked to fi nd that there were so many children living on the streets. This was a direct result of the AIDS crisis, which devastated many families. Given the deep-rooted Kenyan culture of caring for extended family,

for a child to end up on the street meant that most of the adults in his extended family were either dead or severely ill. I had found my calling.

From the early days of the orphanage, I received tremen-dous support from friends, relatives, and my home church, Living Way Christian Centre, in Oliver. They provide the regular, monthly fi nances required to build and maintain the orphanage, and support the children. We’ve also been able to develop livestock and dairy projects to help sustain the orphanage.

There are continually new challenges at the orphanage, whether it is a new child coming into our care, an increase in school fees, or infl ation in food prices. Other local com-munity contributions to date have included a box of toys sent over by Strong Start Pre-School, and clothes and sup-port from the Firehall Bistro, and donations from Ella Res-taurant in Osoyoos. People have also been very generous with their time.

I have taken three groups over to Kenya on my last three trips, some of them from the Oliver area. They assisted with projects to improve the orphanage and also spent time with the children – playing with and teaching them.

I got back from my most recent visit in November and subsequently held a fundraising bake sale in the Oliver mall in December. Thanks to all of you who contributed, we were able to raise $539.75. This has enabled us to start an income garden for the orphanage. Our current fund-raising focus is getting electrical service to the orphan-age and putting in a proper kitchen. Imagine cooking three meals a day, every day, over an open fi re? The new kitchen will be healthier, cleaner, and more effi cient than our cur-rent one.

Our next fundraiser will be a spaghetti dinner at the Firehall Bistro on Monday, March 7. There will be informa-tion on the orphanage and a silent auction — a good chance to “re-gift” those unwanted presents from 2010. And of course, a good, hot, inexpensive dinner, hosted by Bill and Dawn Reid. Come out and discover what we are doing in Kenya, have a great meal, and meet some new friends.

Bernice BalmesSpecial to the Chronicle

If you know of folks that would benefi t from this dinner, pass the word along. See you at the Firehall.

The best reward of all is to see our kids smile and laugh as they chase our goats around the yard, play soccer, or celebrate a special event with a homemade cake.

If you’d like more information about our orphanage, Compassion House Kenya, please contact [email protected] or leave a message for me at 250-498-4595. Or if you have an item for the auction at the spaghetti dinner, call me to arrange pick-up.

Evening with Buechner very delightful

Still smiling. The unusual juxtaposition of humour and classical piano repertoire made for a truly entertaining and delightful evening as Sara Davis Buechner, currently Associate professor at UBC, delivered the third concert in the series for the South Okanagan Concert Society on Fri-day, January 14.

Ms. Buechner opened with a fi nely nuanced perfor-mance of Haydnʼs Piano Sonata in E fl at major written in 1794, the last of his piano sonatas. We were off to a good start for a piano concert program, but then, as our per-former began speaking, we discovered there was also a co-median on stage.

Ms. Buechner instantly connected with her audience as she communicated not only the music, but information regarding the composers and herself. Haydn was followed by the lesser known Jan Dussek. Although Dussek is some-what represented in the intermediate years of piano study by many sonatinas, his larger works are much less often heard. Ms. Buechner played his Sonata in F Minor, Opus 77, written in 1812, the year of Dussekʼs death. She told the

audience some interesting tidbits regarding his life and music, and we learned that Dussek was the fi rst pianist to angle the piano the way we are accustomed to, with the pianist in profi le. The second half of the program was de-voted to the popular jazz genre. We learned about the so called “girl Gershwin”, Dana Suesse, an American compos-er whose “Cocktail Suite” was performed by Ms. Buechner. Written about 1940, the Suite has four movements called Old-fashioned, Champagne, Bacardi and Manhattan.

There was lots of opportunity for joking about and Ms. Buechner took full advantage of the fact. A contemporary of Gershwin, Suesse wrote many “hits”, but her name nev-er became as well known as her male counterparts.

The fi nale to the program was the well-loved “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin.

Always a crowd pleaser, Rhapsody in Blue is one of the most performed pieces in the piano repertoire and Ms. Buechner received a well deserved standing ovation. For an encore we were treated to a much quieter and soothing Gershwin song, “Someone To Watch Over Me”.

This was a concert by an extraordinary musician, cer-tainly knowledgable, talented and willing to share music in the best way, with humour and style

Leslie CrydermanSpecial to the Chronicle


What is your most important value and why?The belief in my family. They provide me with the focus I need and inspire me on a daily basis.

Why did you choose to live in this town?We believe that a small town is a good place to raise a fam-ily. I had the opportunity for employment here. Big cities have too many distractions.

Do you have a goal in life?To be a good dad, husband, and friend.

If you had one super power, what would it be?To fly.

If you won the $50 million Max lottery, what would you do with the money?Set up our kids for life, help out family and friends, travel and play golf and enjoy the company of my wife.

If you were the mayor of Oliver, what would you do?I would never want to be mayor; you can never make ev-eryone happy. Too much politics.

If you were a fly, which wall in town would you like to in-habit?I would not choose to be a fly on the wall. I believe that if I need to know something, I will be told.

What is your pet peeve in this community?The annual transient population hanging out at Lions Park. If you could fast forward the Town of Oliver by 50 years, what can you visualize?No idea. I can hardly visualize next week, not 50 years.

What is the perfect day for you in Oliver?A round of golf with my wife and friends, followed by a great dinner (which I would prepare).

What community issues need the most attention?Lack of jobs.

What would be your ideal job?Not to have one. But if I did, one that involves helping oth-ers with a flexible schedule. Who inspires you the most?My two sons. I am very proud to be their dad.

If a genie granted you three wishes, what would they be?Good health for my family, enough money to retire, and the ability to help those who deserve it.

What is your greatest extravagance?Bought a new pair of runners a year ago. Does that count?

What living person do you most admire?Reid and Calvin.

When and where were you happiest?Hanging out with my family and friends. It doesn’t matter what we are doing, it is always fun.

Which talent would you most like to have?To play a musical instrument.

Who are your heroes in real life?Though he is dead, his spirit is real. So the answer would be my grandpa. What or who is your greatest love in your life? Without question, my family and friends. What is it that you most dislike?Dishonest people, and people who intentionally hurt oth-ers. What do you consider your greatest achievement?Raising a family. What is your favourite book?I don’t think I have ever read a book that did not centre on furthering my education.

What is your favourite meal?Roast beef, gravy, mashed potatoes and salad.

Smile of the week

Betty enjoyed travelling frequently within North America, taking advantage of numerous beautiful golf courses with her husband. She also enjoyed a trip to Norway in particular the spectacular waterfalls. Summer vacations were spent camping in various parts of Canada and highlighted by one cross Can-ada trip made even better by the mussels and lobster. Betty volunteered with the Meals of Wheels Program in Didsbury, Alberta and was an active member of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Didsbury Hospital. Betty enjoyed golfi ng, cooking for an army, reading volumes, listening to traditional country and western music and creating beautiful fl ower arrangements and sewing.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Myslek and the very car-ing staff at the South Okanagan General Hospital for all their care given to Betty. Donations gratefully appreciated to the Canadian Cancer Society. A Memorial Service was held on Wednesday, January 19, 2011 at the Chapel of Graham Fu-neral Home. Rev. Ken Clarke offi ciated.

Mass soccer registration planned for Jan. 27 in Oliver

The 2011 SOYSA mini and youth soccer season is approaching quickly.

Even with all the snow and winter con-ditions lately, there is a lot of coordination and planning happening behind the scenes to kick off the season.

A mass registration is planned for Thurs-day, January 27 at the Oliver Community Centre, Room 2 between 6-8:00 p.m. Regis-tration forms are available on the soysa.net website and/or Sundance Video. The early registration deadline has been extended this year and is available until February 15. Deadline for all registrations is March 15.

A full uniform (shirt, shorts, and socks) is provided as well as a team and individ-ual photo. Soccer cleats and shin pads are highly recommended and mandatory at the youth level.

Mini programThis program runs from April 5 to June

17. All practices and games are Tuesday’s and Friday’s at Tuc-el-Nuit Elementary from 6-7 p.m. There is no soccer planned for April 22, May 20 and June 3.

The mini program is an introduction to soccer and it’s really the grassroots of the game. Grassroots is about small games (three vs three, four vs four or seven vs seven) and basic skill development. Small sided soccer is the heart of the BC Soccer Association (BCSA) Grassroots Soccer Pro-gram. More touches on the ball, active par-ticipation, less “grouping” around the ball, lots of action for the kids, lots of goals (they like that) and lots of fun.

For more information on the Grassroots development program, check out: http://www.bcsoccer.net/bcsa/SOCCER/Grass-rootsDevelopment/tabid/159/Default.aspx

Youth programThis program runs from April 9 to June

20. Most league games are Saturdays, ex-cept for the occasional Friday night game. Teams are required to travel to Osoyoos, Oliver, Keremeos, Penticton, and Summer-land to play their league games.

The youth program caters to players from 11 to 18 years of age. The emphasis of fun, age-specific drills geared for improve-ment, sportsmanship and healthy competi-tion is the focus for this group. Age groups are combined to ensure there are enough players and teams to make the program fun and fair for everyone.

South Okanagan Youth Soccer is an orga-nization dedicated to the development and enjoyment of soccer by youth in the area. The organization is run by a volunteer board of directors, and the coaches and managers of the teams are also volunteers.

If you are interested in coaching, contact youth coordinator Deanna Nemeth at 250-498-4910 or mini coordinator Jeff Nice at 250-498-2368.

Soccer Express will be selling soccer equipment upstairs in the Adidas Sport-splex at 550 Eckhardt Ave. in Penticton on Friday April 1 from 3-10 p.m. and Saturday April 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Every year SOYSA facilitates a cleat sale. Cleats are donated and offered to members at a reduced cost. If you have cleats to do-nate, drop them off between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays at 550 Eckhardt Avenue.
