A new attitude in town is going to “change the face of Oliver,” says an excited member of the Oliver Business As-sociation.

For Karen Amos, this new outlook is a build-up to the Christmas Light-Up ceremony on Friday, December 3 at 6 p.m. That’s when businesses on 97 Street will turn on their lights and make the downtown a beautiful sight to behold for the Christmas season.

“We don’t need money . . . we need a lot of participation . . . we need everyone lighting up the Town,” Amos said.

She noted they hope to have the Town siren sound off to let businesses know when it’s time to throw the switch.

Amos said the association (OBA) is embracing any new business and wants to encourage a “can do” attitude.

“We are now a can do town. What can we do to make it work? The word ‘can’t’ is not in our vocabulary.”

The Light-Up is a joint venture between OBA and Oliver

Parks and Recreation. Amos said OBA is looking for singers to sing carols up

and down Main Street. It is also hoping to have bonfi res to keep people warm, as well as hot chocolate, cotton candy, roasted chestnuts, and musicians in Triangle Park.

Amos said the whole idea is to bring people together to socialize and share the spirit, just like they did in the past.

Starting at 5 p.m. at Oliver Place Mall, the ever popular “Moonlight Madness” event gets underway.

Organizer Ann Hayes said mall merchants will offer fun activities and hourly sales until 10 p.m. For example, Royal LePage South Country will host Santa Claus, who will be available to greet children and pose for photographs. These photos are free of charge, but Royal LePage asks that a food bank donation be given to help Oliver’s less fortu-nate.

Royal LePage is also hosting a gingerbread house com-petition. Hayes is encouraging people to put their artistic talents to work by making their very own gingerbread house. Members of the public will vote for their favourite

entry, which will go to silent auction to raise money for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation dedicated to helping abused women and children.

Entry forms are available at Royal LePage or online at www.royallepage.ca/oliver. First prize is $75, second prize is $50, and third prize is $25.

Hayes said they already have fi ve entries. All entries will be displayed from November 26 to December 10. The last chance to bid on a gingerbread house is December 10.

Moonlight Madness will also feature a colouring contest for children. Entry forms can be picked up at Valley First Credit Union.

The 1st Oliver Scouts will be selling hotdogs and hot chocolate to keep people fed and warm.

Petra Veintimilla, a member of OBA, agreed there’s a new push to revitalize the town and get businesses work-ing together and supporting each other.

“We’re embracing all businesses in Oliver, new and old,” she stated, adding that new businesses in town provide op-portunities for everyone.

Committee shies away from age restrictions when dealing with motion on housing issue

The regional district’s Planning and Development Committee is shying away from setting age restrictions in future multiple family developments in rural Oliver.

In August, Area C Director Allan Patton made a motion that all future manufactured home park developments in Area C require a minimum of 30 per cent of all units be designated for young families with children. This motion was later amended to read that all future medium to high density residential developments in Area C require a minimum of 50 per cent of all units having no age restrictions on tenants.

But earlier this month Chief Administrative Offi cer Bill Newell recom-mended that the RDOS not pursue regulations restricting ages in multiple family developments. As a result, the committee followed this recommen-dation and moved not to support Patton’s motion.

The committee was advised there may be ways to require that future manufactured home park developments have a minimum of 50 per cent of all units with no age restrictions on tenants, but such a policy would be diffi cult to implement, monitor and enforce.

At present, Area C has not contemplated the creation of a high density designation through its Offi cial Community Plan (OCP). As a result, there are no corresponding high density zones.

In the OCP, there exists a residential multiple family zone, which per-mits multi-dwelling units for special needs and affordable housing. In ad-dition, an integrated housing zone permits community and social care facilities as well as boarding homes.

Under the OCP, manufactured home parks are considered to be a low density residential form of land use.

Under the Local Government Act, the regional district may designate an area within a zone for affordable or special needs housing if the owners of the property covered by the designation consent to the designation via a housing agreement.

RDOS planner C. Garrish said that even with legal mechanisms in place, “it would be very diffi cult to implement, monitor and enforce such a poli-cy given current resource levels.”

Patton agreed, but stated there must be a better way to achieve the end goal of helping young families without impeding on strata laws. “I thought it was a simple matter of removing restrictions, but you have to add re-strictions (which gets complicated).”

Patton said he pursued the motion because of local demographics that are “heavy on the aged and light on the young.” He noted that school en-rolments are way down, which is a real concern in Oliver. (Many families have moved out of the area in search of employment.)

Patton stated that many young families fi nd it diffi cult to buy homes because they can’t afford current market prices.

NEWSPolice briefs

Red ATV stolen

Oliver RCMP recently responded to the theft of a red Honda ATV from a warehouse located in the 33,000 block of 97 St.

The property owner stated that, when he left on a business trip, the ATV was chained up outside the ware-house. When he returned a few days later, he noticed the ATV was missing and the lock had been cut. There are no suspects, and no witnesses to the theft.

Anyone with informaton is asked to call the RCMP at 250-498-3422.

What comes around goes around

Seven months ago the Oliver Fire Department report-ed a grass fi re beside Highway 97 near 390A Ave. Accord-ing to witnesses, the fi re was started by someone shoot-ing fi reworks out of a moving vehicle.

Based on a licence plate provided by the witnesses, the suspect vehicle was stopped by Penticton RCMP in Okanagan Falls. A 45-year-old male and a 24-year-old male from Summerland were arrested and some fi re-works and a lighter were seized. The fi re had affected a small section of grass and was extinguished at a cost of approximately $800.

The suspects were released without charges. But in consultation with the fi re department, Crown counsel, and the Ministry of Forests, it was decided to proceed by way of the Provincial Wildfi re Act. So earlier this month an offi cer from the Ministry of Forests issued a violation ticket ($518) to one of the male suspects.

Unfortunately, the second male had subsequently re-turned to his home province of Quebec and could not be served.


Downtown collisionLast Friday the driver of a 1989 Chevy Sprint failed to yield to a 1996 Ford pickup truck at the intersection of 97 Street and 350 Ave. Two Osoyoos residents in the Sprint suffered minor injuries, while two Oliver residents in the truck were un-harmed. Police issued the driver of the Sprint with a violation ticket for failing to yield.

Shuttle service coming in JanuaryA new transportation service is coming to the Oliver

area in January.Adam Pitts has been approved to operate Okanagan Val-

ley Shuttle Service, which will service residents in Oliver, Osoyoos and Okanagan Falls.

“There are numerous seniors here, and with so many doctors in Penticton, it’s diffi cult for them to get to Pent-icton.”

Pitts said his service will be passenger directed, mean-ing he will pick people up where they want, and drop them

off where they want. Reservations 24 hours in advance are preferable and recommended.

Pitts is currently in the process of securing two vans; the fi rst one will be wheelchair accessible.

He pointed out his shuttle service application was de-nied two years ago because his rates were too low. But now his rates have been approved.

“My rates are still a lot cheaper than a taxi,” Pitts said.The service is expected to begin operating on January 1.

NEWS

Either there was something better on TV or Oliver resi-dents fi nd the Town’s “Climate Action Plan” not very cap-tivating.

Only four to fi ve people showed up at last week’s open house to give feedback on the draft plan.

It’s a process that BC communities must address to meet legislation requirements regarding the reduction of green-

Open house on climate action sees little action


house gas emissions. The province wants to reduce emis-sions by 33 per cent by 2020.

The Town of Oliver signed the Climate Action Charter in 2008, with a commitment to become carbon neutral (achieve a net zero emission level) in its operations by 2012.

In 2009, the Town emitted 209 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in the delivery of its services. Energy consump-tion in buildings accounts for 32 per cent of corporate emissions, fuel consumption in fl eet vehicles accounts for 52 per cent, and infrastructure accounts for 16 per cent.

A consultant working with the Town says the municipal-ity needs to improve energy effi ciency in how it operates existing buildings, and be innovative in how it designs new buildings.

She also pointed out that Oliver residents can make a difference by getting out of their vehicles more often rath-er than driving everywhere.

The draft corporate Climate Action Plan identifi es op-portunities for Oliver to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from municipal operations.

The plan identifi es various reduction measures to as-sist the Town in meeting the 2020 target. They include: manage building energy consumption; evaluate energy effi ciency and alternative energy opportunities; improve effi ciency of water and sewer infrastructure; evaluate and implement street lighting alternatives; and encourage en-ergy effi ciency efforts by staff.

Stephanie Johnson, the Town’s director of development services, said one of the benefi ts of mitigating greenhouse gases is minimizing the impacts of climate change.

She noted that other benefi ts of taking action are reduc-ing energy costs through energy conservation, and creat-ing economic development opportunities by promoting a “green economy.”

Building “walkable” neighbourhoods and protecting farmland and natural areas are also important, Johnson said.

Councillor Michael Newman said he doesn’t argue with the science behind climate change; he believes we should

tax carbon. But he does argue with the focus on measuring carbon.

“It doesn’t connect with people as the turnout (at the open ouse) indicated. Everybody has seen their gas and power bills but nobody has seen a ton of gaseous CO2.”

Newman said we need to focus on energy consumption, whether it is carbon-based or not. He noted the Town’s biggest energy expense is water and sewer pumping costs.

The councillor stated that saving hydropower is impor-tant as the saved power can go into electric vehicles, which saves carbon.

“It is in the $675,000 we spend on pumping costs where the Town’s greatest savings lie.”

Harold King, a member of Area C’s Advisory Planning Commission, said people need to educate themselves on probable climate changes.

“Did you know, for example, that fi re ants are now in Eastern Canada, thanks to warmer weather? These crea-tures are a great menace and no way has been found to control them!”

King said we must fi nd a way to encourage people to get involved in climate change, noting the Town’s open house was intended as the fi rst step.

Personally, King has always tried to be environmentally friendly by saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

His garden was pesticide free, and only a small amount of fertilizer was used. All household scraps went to the chickens, with the end result being natural fertilizer for the garden.

“Fertilizer and pesticides for the orchard were always used sparingly, mostly because I did not enjoy spraying and also because of the cost of materials,” King said.

His car is more fuel effi cient, and he drives less. Several years ago the Kings purchased a modern effi cient wood furnace; they burn only dry, seasoned orchard wood.

“My wife did not wish a dryer, so clothes were hung out on a line. It’s chilly in winter and now I sometimes dry them indoors . . . the inside atmosphere can probably use the moisture.”

Residents urged to do their part in reducing greenhouse gases

Special to the Chronicle

New Recreation Coordinator Carol Flynn-Sheridan is busy with programming a lot of fun in the Oliver community.

Sheridan comes to Oliver from Penticton where she was the recreation coordinator for the past eight years. Prior to that she was in Osoyoos and Okanagan Falls and has made strong connections in the South Okanagan.

She is very impressed with Oliver and thinks the facili-ties are incredible. “We have a beautiful community and there are thousands of people who drive through or come here. We want them to stay and raise their families here.”

Her immediate goals include getting to know as many people as she can and have them tell her what is important to them so they can plan accordingly. Most important is quality programming, safety and variety, making sure all the bases are covered.

Although this is her fi rst week in her new position she has long-term goal that may include outdoor recreation tourism, partnerships with business communities, cham-ber, and tourism. She is reviewing what they are currently doing and with input from the community will put a pro-gram together for next year.

Her biggest challenge is the need to hear from the people. “Tell us what you want,” said Sheridan. In a de-mographic area where half the population is over 65 they have to ensure quality programming is also addressed. An-other challenge is providing top quality programs, making them accessible and affordable. This is done with the help of volunteers and donations to the Society.

Volunteering for Parks and Recreation is one of the best opportunities for giving back to the community. Volun-teers can organize or assist at events, assist with programs, or even join the Society and help make positive changes.

Sheridan loves all sports and has been playing alternate Frisbee for about 15 years at a national and provincial level and hopes to introduce the sport to the people in Oliver. She is a triathlete and loves aquatics.

Special events to watch for are the Christmas Light-Up, Photos with Santa Paws, Breakfast With Santa and free skating for the whole community at Winter Wonderland.

Her offi ce is just inside the door at the Community Hall and easily accessible. Drop by and meet her, she is looking forward to getting to know the people of Oliver and sur-rounding areas.

Wish we had peer mediators in our schools

The Oliver Chronicle welcomes letters to the [email protected]

Letters continued on Pg A12...

Where were peer mediators when we needed them the most 30 years ago?

Unfortunately these little diplomats weren’t around then to help students solve their schoolyard confl icts. You were on your own back then with little choice but to run away from the con-fl ict or stand up to it. If you ran away, you’d have to deal with it later. If you stood up to it, you either came away with a black eye or upped your reputa-tion by giving someone else a black eye.

Telling a teacher was out of the question because that only made matters worse. Nobody liked a rat then and nobody likes a rat now. There was no me-diation unless you were sent to the principal’s of-fi ce.

That’s why it’s so encouraging to see educators like Thea Kitt teaching the Peer Mediation program to students at Tuc-el-Nuit Elementary School. These pupils are learning a valuable skill (confl ict resolu-tion) that many adults could benefi t from instead of solving their problems with a clenched fi st.

Peer mediators roam the schoolyard and offer their services (almost like little lawyers, but with-out the pay). If they come upon a couple of students arguing or getting physical, they put their training to use by listening and offering possible solutions.

The mediation program not only resolves prob-lems, but teaches youth critical social skills that will hopefully follow them into adulthood. Most impor-tantly, the program instills self-esteem and confi -dence, which allows students to reach new heights and accomplish things they never thought possible.

We commend School District 53 for approv-ing such a benefi cial program, and for teachers who make it work in their schools. A little media-tion goes a long way in resolving confl icts . . . even among world leaders.

But for now, we’ll settle for these little leaders making a difference in their peers’ lives in small town Oliver.

Full pension too good for GordEditor, Oliver Chronicle:

I want to know if Gordon Campbell will get his full pen-sion. If I was to quit my job, I wouldn’t be able to collect unemployment nor would I gain my full pension if I did not stay and fi nish my employment contract. So it is my view that Campbell should not gain his full pension.

Campbell wasn’t without options; he could have scrapped the HST or change the percentages of tax to 10 per cent across the board. Now Campbell has left the prov-ince in disorder for what will only place schools, health-care, mental health and other primary services in defi cit

as they await the next leader. This whole province will be held hostage once again to

the Liberal Party making choices on fancy, rather than you made your bed, now lay in it.

I have to wonder will there ever be a party that can stick to their guns, if you make a mistake, or travel in the wrong direction? Simply acknowledge the mistake! Show integ-rity - correct the mistakes made. Don’t just simply walk away. What message is that to teach the children of BC - our future leaders.

Carrie-Ann Dambrowitz, Osoyoos

South Okanagan bus service is a great service, but with fl aws

Editor, Oliver Chronicle:

As a frequent user of the South Okanagan Transit bus service I have nothing but praise for the courtesy of the drivers and dispatch offi ce personnel.

The fact that someone like myself can arrange for home pickup is a relief. But there are fl aws in the system and they are as follows.

In my view the service needs at least one more coach, perhaps even two to be added to its fl eet so that it could provide a Friday and Saturday service to Penticton at least. I am sure that if at least one more coach were available for Friday service there would be a marked improvement in the ridership. Perhaps a poll should be taken.

If memory serves me right, roughly a year ago South Okanagan Transit asked the BC Transit system for addi-tional coaches and they were turned down. Why?

Many of us who require medical appointments and live in Oliver and Osoyoos have to travel to Summerland, Pent-icton or Kelowna. It is hard for those medical service pro-viders to understand why we cannot come there without having to give our bus service a day’s notice in advance. It’s simply ridiculous.

Many of the folks who use this service do not do so for medical appointments only. They may have personal busi-ness, be visiting friends in seniors homes, etc.

For those who do not have home pickup in Oliver, they have to go to South Okanagan General Hospital to catch it. The cost of a taxi to and from there to your residence, if a

cab is available, is more than the bus fare and more than most folks can afford.

Greyhound is a fi ne bus service but does not run at times suited to situations I have mentioned. Greyhound does not have a same day return service that is practical to the lo-cal situation; ie., if a person living in Oliver wishes to go to Osoyoos for whatever reason. They must be prepared to do all their business within an hour and that is only because of the shortage of one coach.

In Oliver there are many folks who use this service regu-larly and the Town of Oliver, I understand does not con-tribute in any way fi nancially to this service, although its citizens depend on it. Why?

Chambers of Commerce, town councils and politicians are always expounding the advantages of living in the South Okanagan, but don’t seem to give a damn about a simple bus service for those who need it. We who need it are the folks who were once young and now can no lon-ger see to drive, have trouble hearing and walking. Surely, somebody understands the need.

What will happen when the new Southwinds shopping complex south of Oliver opens next year? What will hap-pen then?

My thanks again to those fi ne ladies who answer the phones and to the fi ne women and men who are so courte-ous and friendly and drive those South Okanagan Transit buses.

Game, set and match go to the Republicans

We have much to learn from our parents, elders As I approach my 75th

birthday, I fi nd myself of-ten thinking about mortali-ty. I’m in the last part of my life, and that’s reality. This is the time when we must fulfi ll our most important duty: to refl ect on a life-time and then sift through the detritus of experience, observation, and thought in order to winnow out les-sons to pass on to coming generations.

The most infl uential el-ders in my life were my par-ents. Although they were in their 30s and 40s when I was a child, they seemed much older and wiser. They taught me lessons that have guided me and that I have tried to pass on to my children:

“Respect your elders.” They weren’t re-ferring to themselves but to older people, who by virtue of having lived a life, de-served respect.

“You are what you do, not what you say.” With today’s barrage of information, spin, and propaganda from politicians and cor-porations, it’s important to look at a record of action rather than be deceived or con-fused by words.

“If you want everyone to like you, you will not stand for anything.” When I was in high school, I was elected president of the student body. I told my dad that I wanted everyone to like me. He told me that no matter what one stands up for, there will always be those who disagree with you.

“Whatever you do, whether it’s wash-ing dishes, scrubbing fl oors, or working at a job, throw yourself into it with all your energy.” I have learned that when I do a half-hearted job, I get a half-hearted expe-rience.

My parents lived through the Great De-pression, which shaped their values and outlook. They taught me those values:

“Save some for tomorrow.” This was a recurring theme and, of course, a value held by any true conservative.

“Live within your means.” This meant that if you didn’t have the money to buy something today, you saved until you could. This notion goes against today’s easy access to credit, which encourages going

into debt.“Share, and don’t be

greedy.” Implicit in this lesson was the notion that helping someone today was in your interest – to build relationships for the inevi-table day when you would need someone to help you.

Perhaps most important-ly, they taught me that I had to work hard to earn money to buy necessities in life, but that I mustn’t run after money as if having more than others would make me better or more important.

I’m lucky to have arrived at a time in my life when I am freed from the encumbranc-es of making money, seeking fame and power, and showing off. We elders have no hidden agenda and can speak the truth. One of the most infl uential groups in the peace movement was the Retired Admirals and Generals Against Nuclear War, war-riors who had played by the rules through the military ranks, but once retired, could speak openly and honestly.

During the ’80s and ’90s when battles raged over forestry practices, one of my most formidable opponents was the CEO of a large forestry company. Arguing that dioxin production in pulp mills was mi-nuscule and that his clear-cut logging was allowed by government, he bellowed, “My job is to make money for my shareholders. If you don’t like the way my company op-erates, your complaint is with the govern-ment because everything we do is within the law.” On retiring and being freed from the corporate game, he became a generous supporter of my foundation. Maybe some-one should start a Retired Corporate CEOs and Presidents for the Environment.

In First Nations communities, elders re-main the bedrock of society. In conversa-tions with First Nations people, I am struck by how often they tell me, “The elders say…” or “I have to ask the elders.”

In today’s youth-obsessed world of rapid technological developments, we too often marginalize elders when their experience is most important.

Elders remember a world that changed more slowly, when “disposable” was not a

description of products, when sharing, re-using, and recycling were simply the way we lived. Elders remember a time when family and social activities were the cen-

tral focus of life, not shopping and owning stuff. Elders remind us that life can be rich and fulfi lling without all the toys.

It was a Republican presi-dent, Richard Nixon, who signed the fi rst Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty, SALT, with the old Soviet Union in 1972. It was an-other Republican president, the elder George Bush, who signed the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, START, with Russia in 1993. But it was a Democratic president who signed the New Start treaty, and that seems to be the problem.

The treaty, signed by US president Barack Obama and Russian president Dmitri Medvedev in Prague last April, is unambitious in comparison to Obama’s vision of “a world without nuclear weapons,” but it is a useful docu-ment. It mandates 30 percent cuts in deployed strategic nuclear weapons by both sides, and it is the cornerstone of a new era of US-Russian cooperation.

The cuts are valuable in themselves, because they oblige the two countries, which together possess 90 percent of the world’s nuclear weapons, to go down to 1,550 warheads each. The treaty also imposes a drastic reduction in deliv-ery vehicles (intercontinental ballistic missiles, subma-rine-launched ballistic missiles, and long-range bombers) from 1,600 for each country under the last treaty to only 700 in future.

But the symbolic importance of the New Start treaty is

at least as important, as it was the fi rst concrete step in the reconciliation of the two former superpowers after the growing hostility of the last decade.

The immediate diplomatic benefi ts of the treaty for the United States have included Russian support for harsher sanctions in response to Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons programme, Russian logistical support for NATO’s opera-tion in Afghanistan (Moscow is supplying one-third of the fuel used by US troops there), and a remarkable degree of Russian-American coordination in dealing with the violent chaos in Kyrgyzstan earlier this year.

You can, of course, criticise the specifi c content of each of these policies, but you cannot deny that US-Russian co-operation is in general a good thing. Nor can you deny that it depends on mutual trust, which would be drastically un-dermined by a US refusal to ratify the New Start treaty. Yet that is what now seems likely to happen.

In order to ratify an international treaty, the US Senate must pass it by a two-thirds vote: 67 out of 100 senators. That means the administration must get eight Republicans to vote for it even in the outgoing Senate, where the Demo-crats hold 59 seats.

But when the new senators elected in the mid-term elections early this month take their seats in January, the Democratic majority will be a bare 51 seats.

After that, ratifying the treaty would require sixteen Re-publican senators to vote for it, which is virtually impos-sible to imagine. That’s why President Obama is desperate to get the treaty ratifi ed by the current “lame-duck” ses-sion of Congress, which has less than four weeks to run. The omens are not good.

The question is whether eight Republican congress-

men are willing to put the national interest ahead of their partisan desire to deprive Obama of his one major foreign policy success. They would have to ignore not only the unanimous support for the treaty among senior US mili-tary leaders, but also the impressively bipartisan group of former secretaries of state and defence who went to Con-gress with Obama last week to back it.

But that is strategy and diplomacy; this is politics. Sena-tor Jon Kyl, the Republican whip in the Senate, says there is not enough time to push the treaty through during the lame-duck session, although it has already been through seven months of deliberations and 20 hearings in the Sen-ate.

Game, set and match to the Republicans, but what about the country and the world? The consequence of an Ameri-can refusal to ratify the treaty would not be a new Cold War, but a deeply disillusioned Russia that had concluded that the United States was not a trustworthy partner. Co-operation would diminish in the world, and confrontations would grow.

More importantly, there would be no restrictions what-ever on how many nuclear weapons, of which kinds, the two countries could produce – nor would either country be under any obligation to let the other know what it was up to.

Worst of all, it would provide hawks in the emerging great powers, China and India, with a wonderful pretext for demanding more nuclear weapons. Why should they restrict themselves to about 180 and 60 respectively, when the older great powers have several thousand of the things?

BC apples very a-peeling at Toronto Winter Fair

BC apples continue to prove they have competitive muscle, size and appearance when stacked against fruit from the other apple-growing provinces.

At the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair (RAWF) in Toronto recently, BC apple pro-ducers walked away with several awards in the national apple competition portion, in-cluding Osoyoos’s Jim Campbell who took home the CHC trophy in the New Varieties category.

“The judging was based on uniformity of fruit, its colour, lustre and appear-ance and whether it is free from defects like russet-ing,” said Joe Sardinha, president of the BCFGA.

Campbell grows Ambro-sia and Aurora Golden Gala as well as the numbered va-riety SPF-493 at his orchard on the east side of Osoyoos Lake. This is the fi rst time he has sent entries to the Toronto fair, earning fi rst place for his Aurora and a second for his Ambrosia. He also took sec-ond in the Champion and Reserve Class, which was based on aggregate points.

When reached at home, Campbell couldn’t pinpoint any particular produc-tion techniques—other than hard thinning in the spring to encourage sizing—which might have led to his win, claiming it was probably the “luck of the draw” as much as anything else.

An orchardist for more than 30 years and a tree fruit specialist at the Ministry of Agriculture’s Oliver offi ce, Campbell en-joys the challenge of growing new variet-ies, even the Aurora known as much for its penchant for bruising and russeting as its fl avour.

“I think if you can grow a nice Golden Delicious, you can grow a good Aurora.”

And in a region known more for the num-ber of Spartan trees that are being pulled

out of orchards due to low returns in the marketplace, Oliver area grower Harjinder Brar proved that the variety can still catch the eye of judges.

Brar took second place for his Spartan entry and said afterward that the fruit came from young trees on his leased or-chard where he also produces Ambrosias and Galas.

“This is only the second time I have picked Spartans from those trees.”

Tristan Mennell of Mennell Brothers Or-ganics in Cawston also gained national rec-ognition at the RAWF, taking home third

place in the Heaviest Apple category.

And in this era of bigger must be better, Mennell is not sacrifi cing taste for size with his apple known collo-quially as the World’s Num-ber One—the Sekai Ichi, a variety released by Japan in 1974.

“It is a big red apple with white and yellow stripes, similar to a very, very large gala,” he explained, adding it is sweet, juicy, crunchy, perfect for eating and bak-

ing and reminiscent of large heritage fruit where one apple equalled one pie.

Grafted onto dwarf rootstock and mainly used as pollinators for the Mennells’ other apple varieties, his World’s Number One are a struggle to pick and they do bruise easily.

“You need two hands per apple and sometimes they grow in clusters of two or three; when you pick one, the other two want to fall on the ground. It is a scramble sometimes.”

Mennell realizes about half a bin a sea-son from his 20 Sekai Ichi trees and sells them out-of-province. However, he does keep a few specimens for his family and sends some to UBC’s Apple Fair in the fall.

In 2009, his entry took fi rst place. This year, although exceptional in terms of apple-growing weather, Mennell’s World’s didn’t reach its weight potential—about

two pounds. He believes the untimely early frost of 2009 could have been a factor.

Sardinha also did well at the fair, earn-ing third place for his Ambrosia, as well as for the Best Collection of 5 Varieties cate-gory. He is very pleased with BC’s showing, but also gives credit to Rita Yastremski for rounding up samples during harvest and then storing and boxing them for the fl ight; to BC Tree Fruits for arranging shipping to Ontario for the competition, and to the as-

sociation’s manager, Glen Lucas for coordi-nating the submissions for judging.

“We’ve fi nally made our presence known at the RAWF again,” Sardinha noted with satisfaction, adding that the apple competi-tion portion had been absent from that fair for nearly 40 years until it was reinstated three years ago.

In total, 11 BC growers earned awards this year.

Sardinha said it was important for BC to have a pres-ence at the RAWF again. He was very pleased with the valley’s recognition as a premium apple producing region, whether it was for old standards like Spartans or new varieties such as Am-brosias.

Oliver area grower Harjinder Brar proved that the va-riety can still catch the eye of judges. Brar took second place for his Spar-tan entry.

After a rewarding set of games, a 9-3 win against North OkanaganKnights and 4-3 win vs the Revelstoke Grizzlies we spent the weekpreparing for the grueling 3 games on Friday, Saturday and Sunday thispast weekend. It was busy because we travelled to Spokane on Fridayfor our only regular season meeting against the Braves, an 8pm gamewhich had us arrive home early Saturday morning. We then had a homegame in Oliver vs Kelowna. Despite this game having us as the hometeam, it was still be a challenge as we have not played or practiced in theOliver arena so we had no more advantage than the visiting team. Sundaywe traveled to Princeton for a 2pm contest against the Posse. That was 3games in less than 48 hours and it was very tough on the boys. I believewe should try to avoid schedules like this but the boys showed they canbe tough mentally and I saw lots of positive things we will focus on thiscoming week. It is a long season and we are only half way through -the boys appear up to the challenge of the toughest part of the schedule- the 2nd half!

Editor, Oliver Chronicle:

I watched the CHBC evening news which aired a story about Deer Park Estates in Oli-ver.

I must say my family and I were quite dismayed at the behaviour of the residents and conservation offi cers and their attitude towards the bears in that area. By the pic-tures shown in this story, many residents are storing food outside, thus attracting the bears.

Thank you to the lady shown in that story who is chaining up her fridge outside. How stupid is that? Haven’t these people heard of a kitchen?

I live in Coldstream in a semi-rural area and I frequently have bears passing through my acreage, and I have young chil-dren and animals. I have always taught my kids that to deter bears to keep food and garbage away from the bears, which we have successfully done.

Why are these conservation offi cers not telling the same thing to these seniors who are keeping their fridge outside - is that not the same attraction as our garbage? It is disgusting enough at how the bears are no longer moved because so many people are so ignorant. I too live by a creek where the salmon were coming through and the bears came to enjoy them as well, but the bears just pass through my neighbourhood as we are smart and diligent enough to keep our food and garbage away.

The conservation offi cers should be fi ning people for keeping their fridge of food outside - like really. The bears were here long before any of us. And shame on the people in this park and the conserva-tion offi cers for trapping and killing the bears, and on CHBC for airing such a ridicu-lous story about ignorant people.

P. Wood, Coldstream

Scientists are becoming restless over isotropy

Canada Post and its employees and retired employees are again helping Santa in the Santa letter program.

The program supports literacy by encouraging children to write a letter to Santa and then read the letter sent back by Santa.

“It is important that in our area letters sent to Santa be put into the ‘local’ mail box,” said Santa helper Bob Otway,

“also the name and address of children writing to Santa be clear and correct.”

Letters to Santa should be mailed in the local mail box; postal workers have a direct dispatch to Santa from post offi ces, so do not put your letter in the out-of-town mail box.

Santa letters can be sent in English or French.Postage is not required when sending letters to Santa.Mom and dad, please check to see that there is a full re-

turn address and name on letters to Santa.Teachers with classes that send letters to Santa please

ensure that all names are on the letters and printed so that Santa can return with proper names.

Please mail before December 22 so that Santa can send back letters before Christmas Day.

Santa’s address is: English- Santa Claus North Pole, Can-ada H0H 0H0; French – Pere Noel, Pole Nord Canada H0H 0H0.

Santa can answer letters in other languages, such as Braille, Chinese, Spanish, German, Inukitut, Lithuanian and Japanese.

Children absolutely love receiving a return letter from Santa. It shows that he is acknowledging them and cares about them.

Send in those letters!

Scientists are beginning to fret and mutter. Some of them are, anyway. Frustration is building. Tension is mounting. There's a sense that something's about to happen, or a wish that something would. The problem is that there hasn't been a real revolution in science for a long time. In the past when things got set in their ways someone would shake them up.

Faraday discovered that he could create an electrical current by moving a wire in a magnetic fi eld. Maxwell discovered that electricity and magnetism are two sides of the same thing, and he demonstrated how to propa-gate electromagnetic waves without wires. Planck's de-duction that electromagnetic energy exists in packets inspired Einstein in his work and created the need for quantum physics. Rutherford began the quest for sub-atomic particles when he described the structure of the atom and began trying to crack open its nucleus. People discovered so many particles that Gell-Mann had to invent quarks to organize them all.

All of these discoveries, and others, combine to give us the current explanation for how the universe works, and it's a pretty good one. The trouble is that all the parts of

the explanation don't fi t to-gether completely smoothly. Many of them were devel-oped to solve one problem or answer a particular question, and they weren't designed to necessarily mesh with other ones. One annoying example of that is the inability to join two theories, one explaining the very largest dimensions of the universe and the other the very smallest parts. No one has been able to unite relativ-ity with quantum physics.

Here we stand at a time when science is very mature and accomplished. We have a precision in our understanding of physical processes that has never been achieved before. There should be signs of hubris or smugness, but this time everyone knows that it's about to be replaced, or at least radically transformed. Most scientists are working with the excellent tools at their disposal, but others are hard at

work looking for new ones.One area of work is string theory. It looks at things from

a different angle and, once its complexities are tamed, it could provide the needed breakthrough. But many scien-tists think we need to go further. Not to only overthrow old science, but to overthrow some of the unquestioned as-sumptions that lie at the base of it. Specifi cally, to question the fundamental concept of isotropy.

Current theories assume an isotropic universe, whose laws and forces are the same everywhere. Relativity as-sumes that gravity is the same here as on the other side of the universe. That it was the same in the past as it is now and will be in the future. Physics assumes that the fi ne structure constant, a number that represents the in-teraction between electrons and their atoms, is also isotro-pic, constant across space and time. Radical thinkers are questioning those assumptions, and others. If they're right then science is in for big changes.

There's a building restlessness among scientists. It looks as if some of our best models of the universe are about to be knocked over and replaced. It can't happen too soon.

Pupils learning food preservation as part of studies

Students from Oliver Elementary School have been busy visiting the different local food preservation facilities as part of the educational component for the Farm-to- School Program. Over 200 students this fall have visited various local companies such as the Okanagan Gleaners, Oliver Su-per Market and Sun Stream Dried Fruits in Okanagan Falls. They were introduced to the different workings of how local food is harvested and processed, and of course, enjoyed hands-on learning for a morning or afternoon.

The 26-week program offers an afford-able healthy lunch alternative to students two times per week by providing a variety of fresh, healthy food choices, purchasing these fruits and vegetables locally wherev-er possible, and giving students an oppor-

tunity to experience new, fresh foods.It also provides the opportunity for stu-

dents to make healthy choices by choosing their own lunch, and in turn, the quantity of lunch that is right for them. This lunch alternative is presented in a “kid friendly” salad bar.

The success of this program depends on several factors: fi rstly, by students utiliz-ing the salad bar, by staff taking the time to educate about the importance of eating locally and learning about various stages of the food cycle; secondly, by volunteers who are instrumental in carrying out the salad bar two times per week at both schools; and lastly, by various organizations willing to donate funds to ensure the sustainability of the program for years to come.

If you would like more information about this worthwhile program please contact Claire Schwartzenberger, coordinator, at Oliver Elementary School at 250-498-3468.

As the nights get longer and the weather chillier, the ladies of the Catholic Women’s League of Christ the King Catholic Church are as busy as Santa’s elves preparing for their annual Christmas Fiesta.

This always popular event will once again offer a hot homemade soup luncheon with yummy desserts to munch on as you browse at the many craft, sewing and needle-work tables. There will also be delicious baking for you to purchase to take home and lots of produce at the Knights of Columbus table.

The proceeds from this annual event help the League to support local charities such as the Okanagan Gleaners

and the food bank as well as several international chari-ties including Operation Eyesight, Leprosy Relief and Holar Belden Orphanage in Peru. The “giftless gift” table lets you make a donation on behalf of someone as a gift.

Fiesta convener Linda Nunes is very pleased with the members’ response to the upcoming event. “Everyone has been very busy getting ready for this annual sale, but it is more than just a shopping event, it is also a time for people to get together, enjoy a delicious lunch and visit with their friends and neighbours before the rush of the Christmas season starts.”

Snow or sun outside, the Christmas Fiesta will be full of seasonal cheer inside on Saturday, Dec. 4 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. downstairs at the Catholic Church hall.

CWL Christmas Fiesta coming

The Area C Advisory Planning Commission (APC) has given its blessing to a local grower who wants to expand his packinghouse.

Manvinder Khela of 31468 Highway 97 is applying to amend the current Agriculture One (AG1) zone to allow for an additional 465 square metres of fl oor area to an existing fruit processing and storage facility.

“We have started dealing with major store chains and there is a lot of competition out there, so I have to do bet-ter packing, better storage at better temperature control,” Khela told the APC last week.

To fulfi ll demands for his farm produce, Khela has to start a packing line hydo-cooler to pack cherries and peaches. Khela noted he isn’t cutting any fruit trees because the area he wants to use is currently utilized for a fruit stand

and old cooler, both of which will be demolished to make way for the expansion. But the APC suggested the appli-cant also remove an old dwelling house if he wants a bigger packinghouse on the property.

Area C Director Allan Patton said they are basically ex-changing footprints; the footprint approved by the APC would be equal to the footprint removed by the applicant.

The subject property is 3.8 hectares in size on the west side of Highway 97 about six kilometres south of Oliver. The southern side of the property was affected by the Tes-talinda Creek mudslide on June 13, 2010.

Final approval for Khela’s application must be given by the RDOS board. Approval must also be given by the Min-istry of Transportation since the expansion proposal is lo-cated within 800 metres of a highway.

The Oliver Handbell Ringers have been working diligently since September preparing a well-rounded selection of music for their upcoming Christmas Concert titled “Christmas Bells and Voices.”

This year’s concert should prove to be heart-warming and entertaining. On the agenda are such favourites as “Let it Snow,” “Winter Wonderland,” and of course, “Carol of the Bells.”

Special guests this year include handbell soloist Helen Williams, The Oliver Handbell Ringers vocal ensemble, the young “Joybells” children’s’ choir, and the newly formed “Swingin’ Bronze” group. The always entertaining Mal Bearman will be the emcee once again this season.

The Swingin’ Bronze is a young peoples’ handbell group under the direction of Shana Cachola of Oliver.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.”

Remember that old saying in the schoolyard? Or the common response when you called a classmate a stupid jerk: “I know you are, but what am I?”

And of course, there was the school bully who threat-ened to re-arrange your face if you didn’t lick his sneakers.

What memories.Things haven’t changed much today, but the way stu-

dents deal with these confl icts have.In fact, a core group of students at Tuc-el-Nuit Elemen-

tary School could teach adults a few lessons about confl ict resolution.

A program called “Peer Mediation,” run by teacher Thea Kitt, is turning more than a dozen Grade 6 and 7 students into skilled little mediators.

Kitt saw the high school running such a program many years ago, and thought it would be great to teach elemen-tary students the same skills.

“Our school has policies which deal with major disrup-tive behaviours, but research shows that traditional meth-ods of discipline such as detention, suspension, and expul-sions are ineffective with some students.”

Kitt said such punitive measures may stop a confl ict temporarily, but they rarely resolve it. This indicates that

there needs to be a more effective method of dealing with confl ict, she stated.

Mediation programs provide a place for students to learn valuable life skills, and these programs provide a place where students can constructively deal with anger, and learn to respect differences between people.

As a result, a confl ict resolution management program was implemented at Tuc-el-Nuit to increase pro-social be-haviour and improve the overall atmosphere in the school.

A group of 15-20 students is specially selected by their peers and teachers and then guided through approximate-ly seven hours of training, which includes a practical exam where the students must meet 12 out of the 14 criteria in order to pass.

Once they have become full-fl edged Peer Mediators, they sign up for weekly duty and patrol the playground looking for students having confl icts. “Their job is not to stop confl icts, but rather to teach children how to solve confl icts peacefully.” Eventually all students will hopefully learn to solve confl icts on their own, Kitt said.

“The program has greatly reduced bullying at our school, and many students are now able to successfully solve confl icts on their own.”

Three students who have worked with Peer Mediators offered their opinion of the program. Connor, in Grade 2, stated “he likes it because the kid who was bugging him doesn’t bug him anymore.”

Kyton, in Grade 3, said “I think it’s good because if a su-

pervisor doesn’t see what happened, the Peer Mediator could help us fi x the problem. If someone’s calling you a name, the Peer Mediator could help by helping you think of different solutions like not calling names anymore and trying to pass the ball more.”

Isaac, in Grade 2, said “I like the program because they can help you if you don’t know what to do about a problem. But if you ask a teacher, they just tell you to stop. But a Peer Mediator will listen to both sides and help you fi gure out what to do.”

The program is in its 14th year and has been extreme-ly successful. “The number of confl icts in our school has dropped immensely,” Kitt said.

Last year the school expanded the program to include a leadership component called PLUS, which stands for Peer Leaders Uniting Students. Students are trained in leader-ship skills and take on projects for the school. For example, last year students planted a xeriscape garden in a corner of the school that educates students about desert plants. The group also runs a family dance every year as well as talent shows, idol competitions, and playground games. The stu-dents also help run the salad bar program.

Kitt regularly travels to schools in Alberta and Pentic-ton to help them implement peer mediation programs and train their students.

For more information, visit the school website or con-tact Kitt at [email protected].

The regional district’s open air burning season runs until April 15, 2011.

To obtain a 2010/2011 permit, apply on-line at www.rdos.bc.ca and click on “Burn-ing Permit.”

You can also call the RDOS at 250-492-0237 to have a permit mailed to you.

Report illegal burning to Penticton dispatch at 250-490-2300. Report a wildfi re by calling 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 from a cell phone.

The district encourages people to consider envi-ronmental alternatives to burning, such as yard waste pick-up, composting, grass recycling and wood chip-ping.

Call the RDOS for more information on these pro-grams.

If you are developing a project which has the potential of disturbing the environ-ment, you may need a permit.

That’s the message the RDOS is giving everyone.

There are environmentally sensitive de-velopment permits which are associated with subdivisions and other developments. In this case, a development permit must be approved prior to creating any distur-bance.

If a building project or disturbance (in-cluding removal or mowing of vegetation) is proposed within 30 metres of a high wa-

ter mark or top of a ravine, a watercourse development permit may be required. Ap-plicants are encouraged to contact the re-gional district early in their project plan-ning. Mapping is available on the district website at www.rdos.bc.ca.

If you have any questions, contact the planning department at 250-490-4107.

In other news, the regional district wants to bring residents up to speed on their obligation to keep their properties tidy.

Under the unsightly premises bylaw, no owner or occupier of a property will cause or permit the following: the collection of refuse, garbage and other offensive or unwholesome material; water to collect or accumulate on the proper-ty; noxious weeds to grow or accumulate; trees, brush and other growth that cre-ate a safety hazard; and

graffi ti on any buildings.When a complaint is received, a bylaw

enforcement offi cer will attend the prop-erty to determine if the situation warrants further action. If so, a letter is sent to the property owner requesting that the offend-ing material be removed within a set time-line. If the timeline is not met, the board may authorize that the property be cleaned up.

If compliance is not forthcoming, the RDOS may enter the property and have the material removed at the expense of the owner. The cost of cleanup may be recov-ered through the property tax system.

The monthly general meeting of Oliver branch 97, Royal Canadian Legion was held Monday, Nov. 8 in the lounge with president Kent Dagenais chairing the meeting. There were three guests and 27 members present. The atten-dance draw was won by Betty Zeeman.

Guests were Zone Chairman Bud Sadegur and his wife Maria and Mrs. Fitzgerald.

Ken Yoxal presented a cheque for $500 to the branch poppy fund on behalf of the Kiwanis Club of Oliver.

Due to recent changes in the provincial liquor laws (drinking and driving), the branch has set up a designat-ed driver plan, which allows a non-drinking driver (of a group) to receive free non-alcoholic beverages while in the lounge.

The early bird membership draw was won by Stacy Bousfi eld. Come on folks, for those who haven’t renewed your membership. Do so now before December 1 and be eligible for the fi nal draw of the early bird campaign.

The Legion building has not only been painted, but there are two new signs – on the north and south side of the buildings showing where the canteen is located.

Pool and darts are doing fairly well Tuesday nights, but it would be nice to have a lot more members involved. The branch is looking for someone to set up the cribbage eve-ning for the branch.

There will be a Grey Cup party in the lounge on Sunday, Nov. 28.

There will be a George MacDougall pool tournament in the new year.

There will be a New Year’s Eve party in the lounge – no admission charge, come on down and enjoy yourselves – bring some snacks and dance to CDs if you wish. All mem-bers and guests welcome.

Legion members and colour party participated in Re-membrance Day assemblies in the Christian Adventist School, Tuc-el-Nuit Elementary School, Southern Okana-gan Secondary School, Oliver Elementary School, Sen-Pok-Chin Aboriginal School and Remembrance Day ceremonies at McKinney and Sunnybank care centres.

A $500 donation was approved to the South Okanagan-Similkameen Medical Foundation towards urology equip-ment.

The zone commander carried out elections for branch executive for 2011. They are: Kent Dagenais, president; Chris Yerburgh, 1st vice-president; John (Red) Young, 2nd vice-president; Barry Lundin, treasurer; and Sharon Dage-nais, secretary. Executive committee: Peter Mitchell, Ber-tha Williams, Bob Brandt and Ray Turner. This leaves one executive committee position to be fi lled.

The installation of offi cers will be held Sunday, Dec. 5 at 2 p.m. in the Legion lounge. All members and guests are invited to attend. The zone commander and deputy zone commander will be performing the installations.

Manager of fi nance assumes new roleSchool District 53 wishes to announce that James Po-

cher, manager of fi nance, will assume the role of assistant secretary-treasurer effective December 1.

Pocher will play a key role in supporting the district and Secretary-Treasurer Lynda Minnabarriet in a shared busi-ness service with the Gold Trail School District.

“Mr. Pocher has been a great addition to our district

team since August 2007 and we appreciate his leadership and expertise in maintaining the district’s sound fi nancial practices. The board recognizes that our shared business service requires a different model of business support and Mr. Pocher has certainly demonstrated his fl exibility in this regard,” said board chair June Harrington.

New bike trail unveiled

A new “Hike and Bike Trail” along High-way 97 will ensure pedestrians and cyclists enjoy a safer and more scenic travel envi-ronment.

“By separating the hike and bike trail from the highway, outdoor enthusiasts can better enjoy the scenery and heritage that the Okanagan is known for,” says Bound-ary-Similkameen MLA John Slater. “Having these types of hike and bike trails also pro-motes tourism for our region.”

The $1 million project is located on the east side of Highway 97, 10 km north of the

Town of Osoyoos. The new trail will con-nect to Road #22 on the north side and 204 Road on the south side.

The project involves construction of a three metre wide, two kilometre long gravel surface hike and bike trail parallel to the newly constructed Highway 97 and in-cludes fi ve culvert crossings under the trail for amphibians and small animals.

Construction is expected to begin in spring 2011 and be completed by summer 2011.

Since 2001, the province has invested $1.6 billion in transportation and commu-nity infrastructure in the Thompson-Okan-agan region.

SOSS briefsSOSS sees minimal disruptions

Students are adapting well to the reno-vation work at SOSS, says Principal Cate Turner.

“The new school is quickly becoming a reality. I am happy to report that we have had minimal disruptions.”

Several new staff members at SOSS have been welcomed by the district.

Ms. DesBrisay and Ms. Windley have joined as education assistants from Okana-gan Falls and Oliver Elementary, respec-tively.

Kudos go out to the coaches for all their time and effort in providing the students with such sporting opportunities and guid-ance.

Smile of the week

Raising her daughter is her greatest achievement

Sheila Caissie

Staff photo

What is your most important value and why?Dedication – to family, my belief, my endeavors.

Why did you choose to live in this town?It has the mild weather and laid-back atmosphere that

I’ve looked for.

What would make Oliver a nicer community?It would be nice not to see garbage on the side of the

roads.

Do you have a goal in life?I’ve accomplished all goals I’ve set so far, next is to buy

land and build a home.

If you had one super power, what would it be?Make people stutter every time they complain.

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

Take care of my family, donate to my charities and have the time of my life – do anything I want to do.

If you were the mayor of Oliver, what would you do?I’m sorry, but politics frustrate me – I wouldn’t make a

good mayor.

If you were a fl y, which wall in town would you like to inhabit?

The library – it’s so quiet there, and I love to read.

What is your pet peeve in this community?People don’t know how to drive the speed limit.

If you could fast-forward the Town of Oliver by 50 years, what can you visualize?

A highway around town so that the big trucks and thru-traffi c wouldn’t make the streets so busy.

What is the perfect day for you in Oliver?A warm sunny day so I can walk and explore. There is so

much to see here.

What community issues need the most attention?More RCMP presence.

What would be your ideal job?I would love to be able to sit in a room in the back and

invoice all day, or fi le, or document search, etc.

Who inspires you the most?I am my own inspiration. I’ve had to rely on myself to

overcome many obstacles in my life and I think I’ve done very well so far.

If a genie granted you three wishes, what would they be?

That my daughter would have everything. She wants that my dad would have better health. That Jeff and I could have some land and a small cabin in the mountains.

What is your greatest extravagance?My old Mustang. I miss my car.

What living person do you most admire?I admire people who can take adversity and overcome it

and not feel sorry for themselves.

When and where were you happiest?I’d say when I moved to Oliver this summer. I fi nally did

something for me instead of everyone else.

Which talent would you most like to have?To dance. I have two left feet.

Who are your heroes in real life?I have no heroes.

What or who is your greatest love in your life?My fi ancé Jeff – I didn’t know what love really was until

I found him.

What is it that you most dislike?The fact that people (for the most part) go through each

day with such anger and they don’t even know why they’re angry.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?Raising my daughter in the safest possible manner and

giving her the childhood I never had.

What is your favourite book?J.R.R. Tolkien – The Lord of the Rings.

What is your favourite meal?Baked spaghetti with meatballs.

Student leaders learn about water-smart xeriscaping

What started out as a “real eyesore” at Tuc-el-Nuit Elementary School has turned into a xeriscape garden of beauty.

That was evident recently during an of-fi cial ribbon cutting ceremony involving peer mediator students, who organized the “green” project, with the help of Sage-brush Nursery, FortisBC, and Marsel and Son Trucking.

“The students learned about native

plants to this area, along the way adding an educational component,” said school PAC co-chair Cathy Gale.

She explained the garden was planted to replace an area that had once been juniper shrubs that some vandals decided to burn late one evening. The shrubs were removed and the land sat in a rather unsightly state. So the peer mediator group decided to plant the garden this spring, with the as-sistance of a few parents and teachers.

The PAC got involved to assist in rais-ing funds for the project. FortisBC came

through with fi nancial support, and Marsel and Son Trucking stepped up and donated landscape rock and the trucking.

Peer mediator teacher Thea Kitt said Sagebrush Nursery also came to the rescue by do-nating the plants and the time to educate the stu-dents on xeriscaping.

Kitt said the garden is truly a beautiful, educa-tional and environmental-ly friendly initiative.

Oliver Mayor Pat Hampson said the proj-ect emphasizes smart gardening principles, especially during a time when water con-servation is so important in the Okanagan.



Tuc-el-Nuit students (with teacher Thea Kit at right) gather in front of the new xeriscape garden after a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Mini makeovers great for jazzing up your kitchen

You don’t need to do a major remodel or spend a lot to create a dramatic difference in your kitchen.

Here’s some mini-makeover ideas sure to turn your tired, outdated kitchen into your fa-vourite space.

Update your kitchen backs-plash by replacing old tile with a fresh colour, new pattern or texture. Your local tile shop will have a huge selection of tiles in a wide range of prices, so there’s something for ev-ery budget. Choose from glass, metallic and natural stone or from an un-limited variety of porcelain tile. Ask a tile expert for advice on installation and se-lecting a tile that complements your cabi-nets and walls.

Change your wall décor by adding a beautiful landscape artwork. Choose a dreamy reproduction of a Tuscan villa or better yet a vineyard landscape by a lo-cal painter. You’re sure to fi nd the perfect photograph, canvas or watercolour art-

work by browsing local art fairs. Personalize your kitchen by

replacing the cabinet hardware, available in a variety of shapes, sizes and fi nishes. Top fi nishes are antique oil rubbed bronze, pewter, fl at black or shiny pol-ished chrome. Choose a fi nish that works for your household and will stand the test of every-day use. Hardware can be pricy; save money by putting the new cabinet knobs where the old holes are, or trading your credit card miles for gift certifi cates to be spent at hardware retailers.

A mini makeover is the perfect way to give your kitchen a tasteful upgrade with-out expensive remodelling. The trick is to work with what you have, be creative and start small—with easy changes you can do in a few days.

And remember, improving this im-portant living space is a sound fi nancial investment—and an investment in your family’s happiness. Always love the space you’re in.

Concert prompted toe-tapping

The weather might have been cold and blustery outside last Friday night, but the atmosphere inside Frank Ven-ables Auditorium was exactly the opposite. It was warm and friendly for the large audience who had turned out to enjoy the second concert in the South Okanagan Con-cert Society’s series. Fiddler Daniel Gervais, together with guitarist Clinton Pelletier and step dancer Aline Dupuis-Gervais performed a highly eclectic and entertaining mix of jazz, classical, bluegrass, newgrass, country, old time, ragtime, and Celtic, which left us -- two hours later -- on our feet, clamoring for more. Fun for all ages and musical tastes!

To their foundational skills of technical facility and full command of the music, without which excellence does not occur, the three performers brought that more elusive “je ne sais quoi” of spontaneity, high energy and honesty. Above all, there was a tangible feeling that they themselves were really enjoying every second of what was happening. Contagious, to say the least.

We were drawn into their magic by the lively opening medley of fi ddle tunes (toe-tapping and all!), including the well-known “Devil’s Dream,” which at one point morphed into a slow Gypsy Jazz minor swing. (Don Messer never had the courage to try that!) The evening continued with simi-lar surprises and consistent spontaneity. Daniel on the fi d-dle and Clinton on the guitar never just went through the motions. They kept watching and listening to each other, expecting the unexpected. At one point I could hear Daniel call: “F”, which was followed by a quick key modulation and a whole musical gear shift on the violin that Clinton picked up on immediately.

Such outstanding guitar work, by a performer who is not content with just playing chords in the background, but has the skills to put the guitar on an even footing with the violin explains this duo’s success on Friday night. It was fun to listen to their constant interplay: trading fours and harmonizations of the melody between the two instru-ments. There are many guitar players out there, but gui-tarists such as Clinton Pelletier, who can trade licks on par with a hot fi ddler, are very rare.

The evening passed very quickly, with the lively patter of Daniel engaging the audience with fascinating bits of history of the genres and styles prior to each piece. Clin-ton also gave us insight into the delightful music being cre-ated. After the performance, Aline told some of us about the regional variations in step dancing, and demonstrated the different techniques of the Irish, the “Outaouais” (Ot-tawa valley), and the Quebec styles of dancing. Most inter-esting! I’m sure the whole audience would have loved to hear her explanations, too.

As it was, we all felt privileged to watch the beautiful step dancing, and were mesmerized. The spotlight swung on Aline several times during the evening, as she danced to fi ddle tunes that seemed to be made to measure her movements and the beat of her feet. The prolonged ap-plause given to her was most fi tting!

The rich French Canadian heritage was highlighted again when Daniel sang and fi ddled a humorous old “call and response” song, “tout en francais,” about a certain Lisette, who had some serious challenges in churning and sieving the butter through her “queue de chemise.” A rousing tune, sung at breakneck speed while simultane-ously playing furiously on the fi ddle — not many could pull off such a stunt.

Let me mention just a few more gems from an evening of highlights. Think: Hot Club of Paris in the ‘30s. This mu-sic has never been as popular as it is today. Belgian guitar virtuoso, Django Rheinhardt and French violinist Stephane Grappelli are heroes for our performers Daniel and Clin-ton, so no surprise that their take on the Gypsy Jazz an-them, “Minor Swing,” captured the style perfectly.

Another feat was the piece with which the fi rst half end-ed: Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer’s “Wooly Mammoth.” The theme of stampeding mammoths being pursued by sabre tooth tigers makes for a technical monster of a piece. It fea-tures exceptionally fast and tight unison melody playing. With its interesting modality and advanced harmonization this piece takes bluegrass and moves it into the realm of classical and fusion jazz. To pull that off with a smile on your face is a real achievement!

Playing Bach, (Gigue from the Partita 2, in D minor), as an opener for the second half was a brilliant choice, which took some courage, since the unaccompanied Bach violin suites are considered the “Mount Everest” of the violin world. By “unplugging,” Daniel treated us to the natural, glorious sound of a well-played violin in a good hall. (That alone makes buying a season’s ticket worth it, doesn’t it?)

We heard the hauntingly beautiful “Ashokan Farewell,” the ever popular “Yesterday,” and some pieces by Natalie McMaster. We were introduced to a rarely heard Swedish folk instrument (the nickel harp, an unusual cross between a fi ddle and a hurdy-gurdy). We enjoyed the fact that our vivacious fi ddler was also turning his hand to composition, (Belize, Reverie, Gambier). We also had fun picking out tunes we recognized in the fun-fi lled medley that started out as Sugar Foot Rag but was transformed by our talented duo with bits and pieces of Cotton Patch Rag, Alabama Ju-bilee, and more.

The night concluded with a well-deserved standing O, and an encore medley that left me feeling I’d never done so much toe-tapping in my life. Hats off to Daniel, Aline and Clinton. Please come back soon!

Coyotes’ win streak halted

The Osoyoos Coyotes were twice victori-ous over a busy three-game weekend to in-crease their latest winning streak to seven games. However, they’ll have to begin a new one following an defeat on Sunday.

Friday night in Spokane, the Coyotes dumped the Braves 5-2. Kyle Laslo picked up his second shutout of the season Satur-day night as Osoyoos blanked the Kelowna Chiefs 3-0. Finally, Sunday afternoon at Princeton, the Yotes let a 5-3 third period lead slip away, eventually losing 6-5 in dou-ble overtime.

After a scoreless opening period on Fri-day night, just 22 seconds into the second, Stefan Jensen got the Coyotes on the board on the powerplay with his fi rst of three. Matt Geurts made it 2-0 before the Braves replied a short time later to trail by only 2-1 following 40 minutes of play.

Similar to the beginning of the middle period, Stefan Jensen again tallied quick-ly at the start of the third, this time just 13 seconds after the drop of the puck. He completed his hat trick, while on the man advantage at 5:03 of the fi nal period. Matt Geurts scored his second goal of the con-test only 34 seconds after Jensen’s latest to put the Coyotes comfortably ahead to stay at 5-1. Spokane tallied once more to round out the offence.

Kyle Laslo earned the win in net, with Osoyoos outshooting the Braves 37-35 overall.

On Saturday, a crowd of 427 showed up in Oliver to watch Kyle Laslo and the Yotes blank the Kelowna Chiefs 3-0.

There was a true local fl avor to the match-up as appropriately enough, Oliver natives Stefan Jensen and Thierry Martine each scored a goal, with a marker from Brandon Watson of Keremeos sandwiched in between.

Despite several quality scoring chances and outstanding goaltending at both ends, the Coyotes made a 2-0 fi rst period lead stand up the entire way, before Martine sealed the deal into an empty net with time winding down.

Kyle Laslo was perfect on all 35 shots he faced.

Friday and Saturday night triumphs left Osoyoos in the midst of a seven game win-ning streak entering Sunday afternoon’s tilt in Princeton. Although the Posse en-tered the meeting with just fi ve wins in 25 games and 34 points in arrears of the Coyotes, one simply sensed the home team would be up for the challenge.

Brandon Watson’s powerplay goal gave the Yotes a 1-0 fi rst period lead. Princeton tied the score, before Josh Gray again put Osoyoos ahead by one at 2-1 after the fi rst period.

The Posse equaled things 8:10 into pe-riod two. Taylor House made it 3-2 Coyotes with a man advantage goal late in the peri-od, only to see Princeton draw even at 3-3, 40 seconds later.

Back-to-back Thierry Martine mark-ers, including a highlight roll, individual, shorthanded effort put Osoyoos up 5-3 with under 10 minutes on the clock. Mind you, less than a minute after that, the Posse was back within one at 5-4.

The Coyotes had seen this script before. Back on October 1, they had a 6-5 lead in the dying seconds, only to witness Princ-eton tie the score and force overtime. Well hello déjà vu as with goaltender Sky Buller on the bench in favour of an extra attacker, the Posse again sent the contest to sudden death by notching the game-tying goal with just 32 seconds remaining in regula-tion time.

Osoyoos escaped the start of overtime by killing off a penalty, leaving their hosts zero for nine on the powerplay.

However, 2:45 into three-on-three “ex-tra hockey,” the Posse’s Alex Demchuk managed to slip the puck past Coyotes’ net-minder Billy McGladrey, sending the build-ing and home club into a frenzy.

David had defeated Goliath on this day, the Yotes’ fi rst setback since October 30.

Despite the loss, the Osoyoos Coyotes have managed at least one point in all but one of their 27 regular season outings to date. With a record of 21-1-1-4 and 47 points, they continue to lead the overall KI-JHL standings by one point over Revelstoke and are 20 points ahead of second place Kelowna in the Okanagan Division.

Next up for the Coyotes is Wednesday night’s hosting of the Penticton Lakers.
