Street names not safety issue for police or paramedics

The first signpost on the road to compliance with Can-ada Post’s mandate of one civic address for mailing pur-poses has been reached.

The steering committee charged with investigating the merits of reverting to named streets and smaller house numbers has made its report to town council and staff. Now it’s ready to discuss the findings with residents.

An Open House will be held at the Oliver Elks Hall on Thursday, Oct. 14, from 3-5 p.m. and from 6-8 p.m. A map

highlighting problem areas and existing flaws in the cur-rent numbering system will be exhibited along with dis-plays detailing the reason for the change, Area C’s decision to return to named streets and what options are available to create a long-lasting, more manageable solution.

“It will be a drop-in format,” said municipal manager Tom Szalay. “We want to see as many people as possible and not everyone is available at the same time, so we are having one in the afternoon and another in the evening.”

The scheduling is flexible enough to accommodate workers or those who have later evening commitments. Steering committee chair, Councillor Michael Newman,

several other councillors and staff will be in attendance and a survey will be available. Residents are urged to fill it out and return it to staff before they leave the hall.

The survey is divided into two parts: the first outlines five principles for street naming and addressing and asks respondents to rate their importance. The second part lists four options for carrying out those principles: keep the status quo even if Area C changes to names; make house and street numbers smaller but name major thoroughfares and retain the street numbering grid even on segmented streets; make house numbers smaller and give unique

names to streets; or suggest another choice However, the survey is not binding and there will be no

referendum Ultimately, it will be council’s decision Committee consensus favours four-digit north/south

house numbers meshing with those in the regional district, and three-digit house numbers running east/west, with the river as the base mark

“We have gone a long way to listen to the firemen’s con-cerns and strongly encouraged them to work within the system,” noted Newman

General agreement aside, the Oliver Fire Department (OFD) wants the first option, but would accept the second

Firemen are alone in believing names are a safety issue though; neither the police nor the paramedics participated in the discussions, saying they didn’t care what system was used The OFD is marching out of step with Area C too; di-rector Allan Patton is returning to street names in his dis-trict, so firemen will have to deal with names there

And, as Newman and Szalay pointed out, the first two options ignore the ongoing headache of the numerous fragmented streets bearing duplicate numbers

For instance, 348th’s repetitions are separated by dis-tance, angles and direction changes

And Google Maps shows 73rd inaccurately; it is actually chopped into several tiny pieces and typing a house ad-dress doesn’t guarantee arrival success either

A detailed map colour-coordinating Oliver’s problem streets will be displayed at the Open House giving resi-dents a clear picture of what distortions resulted when a grid was imposed on a rumpled, obstacle-strewn landmass that couldn’t comply

Newman and Szalay believe a grid works here only if it is restricted to house numbers

Naming segmented streets and major roads and assign-ing grid numbers to the remainder would be unproductive also

“If you do that, there’ll be so few streets left, what’s the point?” Szalay asked

And that leaves the third option for consideration: shorter house numbers, unique street names and no du-plications Newman feels it is the most logical solution and if council chooses it, its members will look for input on names from residents throughout the process The in-put will be important because council hasn’t chosen any names yet

“There would be consultations with the neighbour-hoods,” he assured However, Highway 97 would probably be called Main Street in town because “you don’t fight common speech ”

Newman is hoping the final approval on an option could be reached by Christmas Canada Post wants to implement their changes next year or early 2012 at the latest

Church and lawyers join to help needyThe Oliver and Osoyoos area will have a free legal advice

clinic open to low and moderate income individuals thanks to the generosity of St. Edward the Confessor Anglican Church in Oliver and local lawyers of Oliver and Osoyoos.

Beginning in November, clinics will begin operating to provide this service. Clients who qualify will receive a free half-hour consultation with a lawyer.

Access Pro Bono (APB), assisted in the creation of this

clinic. Frank Yates, APB’s Clinic Coordinator expressed his sincere thanks to the board of St. Edward’s Anglican Church as well as to the local BAR lawyers of Oliver and Os-oyoos for making this clinic a reality. Oliver and Osoyoos are no different than any other area of the province where the need to find access to justice is paramount, Yates said.

Potential clients are urged to call 1-877-762-6664 if they wish to make an appointment at this new clinic.

Immigration enforcement

This summer at the Osoyoos Port of Entry criminal history was a major factor for many foreign nationals deemed inadmissible to Canada.

The majority of the individuals had charges and con-victions against them, while others were inadmissible for a variety of reasons including: financial reasons and failure to meet identification requirements. Three indi-viduals were inadmissible for serious criminality includ-ing: larceny and grand theft, battery resulting in bodily harm and arson.

Charges and convictions against foreign nationals in July included: inappropriate touching; cruelty towards a child; carrying a concealed weapon; possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance; possession of methamphetamine; possession of cocaine; delivery of a controlled substance; domestic battery/assault; assault; resisting arrest; possession of stolen property; reckless driving; burglary; reckless endangerment; obstruction; and driving while impaired.

Customs enforcement

Border services officers seized more than $60,000 in goods and levied approximately $13,000 in fines and penalties for contraventions against the Customs Act. The majority of offences involved undervaluation of ve-hicles. Border services officers also made a number of narcotic seizures under the Controlled Drugs and Sub-stances Act.

Notable events

A resident of El Salvador arrived at the port of Osoyoos from the US claiming refugee status from his home coun-try. Details of the individual’s claim were gathered and relevant information was forwarded to the Immigration and Refugee Board.

Many residents in Tradewinds Mobile Home Park in Oli-ver are sleeping easier now that their 12-month eviction notices have been rescinded.

“It was a scary situation. Perhaps we’ll get some peace and quiet here for a few years,” said Donna Nemeth, chair of the Tradewinds Park Homeowners Association.

Nemeth confirmed that park owner William (Gus) Kirsch has annulled the eviction notices he gave 30 residents in April of this year. As a result, the arbitration hearing that was scheduled for September 20 was cancelled. Residents were planning to fight the notices, saying Kirsch had no le-gal basis to issue them because he didn’t have the required development permits in place.

“We knew he couldn’t do it . . . it was just a scare tactic (to get more rent money),” said resident Thelma Barlow, who is relieved that she doesn’t have to move.

Kirsch, who isn’t talking to the media, previously told the Chronicle that local and provincial laws on rent increas-es make it very difficult to operate mobile home parks. He said the tax rate for residential rental income is the high-est rate of any business in Canada, starting at 47 percent on the dollar. Compare that to commercial landlords at 30 percent or small business at 20 percent or less, he pointed out.

Kirsch said rent controls are simply subsidies extracted from landlords by government to reward tenants for their support at the polls.

“Controlling prices only leads to a shortage of supply that ultimately leads to higher prices.”

Kirsch said his allowable rent increases have totalled 18 percent during the last seven years. “In this same period

property values in Oliver have gone up 200 percent and our costs (at Tradewinds) have doubled.”

Lawyers for Kirsch and the homeowners association have been negotiating for new terms to be included on in-dividual lease agreements.

The association said these terms will provide some long-term stability and peaceful enjoyment for tenants, while at the same time addressing some of Kirsch’s concerns.

Barlow said she and her husband Ken are waiting to hear what Kirsch is willing to agree to. “We asked him for a 10-year commitment (to keep the park status quo), but he only wants to give us five.”

Nemeth said Kirsch has agreed to several resolutions, in-cluding the removal of a front entrance sign that states the land is destined for redevelopment. This will make it easier now for residents to sell their homes. In fact, some new “for sale” signs have already gone up, Nemeth said.

She noted that Kirsch has also agreed to remove all the snow and trim the trees, which is what you’d expect a land-lord to do anyway.

Nemeth said they are currently negotiating individual lease durations and rental costs.

“We’re trying to maintain a good relationship (with the landlord),” she noted, admitting the previous relationship wasn’t very open.

Nemeth said she’s very pleased Kirsch has rescinded the evictions, noting the park had good support from the town.

Resident Herb Moore said he and his wife Betty are quite relieved knowing they don’t have to pull up stakes and move. “Yes, we’re sleeping easier. It’s quite a load off our back,” Herb said.

But he remains cautious to see if Kirsch follows through with the resolutions.

The McKinney Nordic Ski Club is encour-aging the public to help find its picnic table that was stolen from its shelter this sum-mer. The table, which was bolted to the floor, would have taken at least four people to carry it out of the shelter on Mt Baldy Road, approximately 26 kilometres east of Oliver.

But that wasn’t the only thing that was stolen – fuel was siphoned (twice) from the club’s trail grooming machine, and a cord of wood was also taken.

These thefts were very disheartening to club president Claudette Chabot said her partner Steve Staresina. “We try to do as much volunteering as possible, and people take the initiative to steal from kids and se-niors who use the mountain . . . it destroys your will to do any more in the communi-ty,” Chabot said.

The table was stolen sometime between July and August. The top consists of five pieces of treated lumber, with an X-brace holding the legs together. Green coated

screws were used to assemble the table.Staresina said the table and shelter were

built by volunteer labour. He noted it would cost about $500 to replace the table.

“We’re hoping that concerned citizens will come forward and be on the lookout for the table,” he said. Staresina pointed out that approximately 1000 people utilize the shelter every year, which is operated on the honour system.

Chabot said the club runs like a well-oiled machine on a shoestring budget . . . thanks to the volunteers. “We do it out of the kind-ness of our hearts, but it drains our energy (when thieves steal from us),” Chabot said.

On Sunday, Oct. 17, the club will be clear-ing trails in preparation for winter. Contact Chabot at 250-498-8461 or email [email protected]. if you can help.

The club is also seeking new coaches to teach cross-country skiing to grade four and five students during the month of Feb-ruary. Funding for the professional coach’s clinic at Apex will be paid for by the club.

Field trip too risky for pupils

The Oliver Chronicle welcomes letters to the [email protected]

We hate the thought of restricting or cen-soring what students do on field trips, but discharging weapons have no place in any

school setting. Trustees made the right decision last week to deny

a request from SOSS to take senior students to the Sportmen’s Bowl for a day of shooting and archery.

No doubt the students would have received ex-pert training and supervision from members of the Southern Okanagan Sportsmen’s Association. They operate under strict regulations and guidelines, with safety being of utmost importance. No worries there.

The problem arises in unforeseen accidents. For example, a rifle could backfire and injure a student, or somebody could fall on an arrow. Very unlikely, but the potential is there.

The bigger concern is the volatile attitudes of some youth. Like trustee Debbie Marten said, “we don’t know where some of these kids are emotion-ally or mentally.” Do we want to take that risk by putting weapons in their hands?

What if a student develops a passion for rifles, and that passion turns to vengeance against a bully or a teacher? It’s a chance we can’t afford to take.

Parents who want to expose their children to rifle sports and archery can do so freely. In fact, a number of Oliver families are involved in these fun activities. So there are ample opportunities for these sports without having a school board sanction them.

The district previously adopted a policy on field trips that prohibit high-risk activities, such as bun-gie jumping, hang gliding and paintball. Rifle ranges also fall into this category.

School District 53 fashioned its policy from one developed by an Alberta district after a student ski-ing trip turned deadly.

Superintendent of Schools Juleen McElgunn said the board is legally responsible for every student. So it must set guidelines for the safety of our children and protect the district from liability.

Noise is the least of our worriesEditor, Oliver Chronicle:

You have got to be kidding! The doctors are pumping everyone in this valley with

prescription drugs, blasting people with chemo and radia-tion, the vineyards and orchards are polluting the fruit, air and water with pesticides, herbicides and fungicides... and you are worried about the noise and safety of helicop-ters? You should be ashamed of yourselves!

Maybe this will bring some desperately needed money

to the area. Have you noticed how many small businesses have closed in the last six months? Do you have any idea how many more there will be?

Primarily, because people in this community do not shop at home. One day everyone is going to wake up and find a ghost town. Here lives Oliver, the Wine Capital of BC that was worried about noise pollution.

C.J. Sweet, Oliver

Editor, Oliver Chronicle:

I'm only on page 2 of our local Chronicle and I'm so dum-founded I'm beginning to wonder If I really want to know what’s going on in our community.

Front page confronts our RCMP issues which should have been resolved before it hit the front pages of our paper. We don’t need this kind of publicity any more than we need more crime. Second page re: commission frowns on auto shop expansion. It sounds like kangaroo court. This busi-

ness needs our support no matter how you look at it. Dave and Betty have done everything they can to support Oli-ver. The powers to be need to get their heads together and come up with a plan to keep this business viable. Pat and Allan seem to have different ideas. Shade Tree applied to rezone already, doesn’t that sound like what Pat (or the mayor) suggested at the end of the report?

Auto shop business needs support

The HST is a tax that keeps on takingEditor, Oliver Chronicle:

It’s no surprise to see the BC Liberals’ pro-HST damage

control has begun. It’s also no surprise to Fight HST sup-porters that the Liberals continue to miss the point.

The Liberals believe the public is angry about the tax. They are right; we are angry about the added consumer burden. Exactly when are we going to see those savings?

But more than the tax itself, people are upset about the lie. Remember the “HST is not on the radar” statements? It was the deceptive way in which the Liberals introduced the HST to the electorate that brought the 700,000 British Columbians out to sign the Citizen Initiative petition.

Even Boundary Similkameen MLA John Slater is missing the point. In the September 29 Penticton Western News, he quite rightly admits his vulnerability to the coming recall, but he also makes a puzzling statement. If the HST is sup-posed to stimulate the economy, he certainly isn’t help-ing the restaurant industry by saying if consumers want to avoid paying the tax, “…[then] they buy food and don’t go to restaurants a lot and those sorts of things…”

Since the Liberals wish to sweep aside the election de-ception and focus on the tax itself, let’s look at their argu-ments. One argument is that the government needs taxes to pay for health care and education. True, taxes pay for the services British Columbians depend on, but the HST

was not supposed to be a revenue source for government. The HST was billed as a “revenue neutral tax” – a seven

percent tax credit for business and a seven percent tax increase foisted upon the consumer. Unless the HST is scrapped, British Columbians will be ponying up an esti-mated $1.9 billion (this figure is from the BC Liberal fact page: Benefits of the HST) every year for the rest of their lives – the same amount businesses are expected to save.

So where is this money for health care and education? Could it be that $1.6 billion enticement (a one-time pay-ment) from the federal government to implement the HST? Rather than funding health care and education, that $1.6 billion will likely be allocated to reducing the prov-ince’s deficit over the next three years.

Another argument is that scrapping the HST would be too costly. The province would have to repay the $1.6 bil-lion “gift” from the feds. Since this $1.6 billion was our federally collected tax money in the first place – it did not come from another country – why is this so daunting? Isn’t it better than paying $1.9 billion every year with the HST?

The HST is a consumer debt that can never be repaid. When you buy a house or a car, at some point, you finally pay it off. Not so with the HST. It is a tax that keeps on tak-ing, as all taxes do, leaving you less money to spend and luring consumers to credit.

Finally, something being done about pirates

We need to protect our local farms, fisheries

David Suzuki

As we move into fall, the bounty of Canada’s farms, fields, and fisheries is filling local mar-kets across the country: arti-san cheese in Montreal, fresh sockeye salmon in Vancouver, plump blueberries in Thunder Bay, and scones, biscuits, and countless other treats made from heritage Red Fife wheat grown on the prairies.

No question about it, Canadi-ans are embracing the idea of eating food produced closer to home, a sustainability movement that has been dubbed “loca-vorism”. Proponents of eating local argue that we need to increase food security and reduce our dependence on other regions or nations for supplies of milk, meat, veg-etables, fruit, cooking oil, grains, and other staples, as well as luxury items like fine wine and fancy cheese.

According to the experts, the planet fac-es looming scarcities of almost everything necessary to sustain high crop yields – wa-ter, land, fertilizer, oil, and a stable climate. A disruption in global trade brought on by crop failure or skyrocketing oil prices could have serious consequences in many re-gions of Canada, especially in communities in the Arctic and coastal Canada that have to import food largely from elsewhere.

For example, in Powell River, B.C., most food on the supermarket shelves has to be trucked and then shipped by boat from dis-tribution centres in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island every day. The Pow-ell River Food Security Project is an initia-tive by the community to reduce its over-reliance on imported food, along with the associated costs and insecurity of supply, by promoting backyard gardens and, on a larger scale, farming of local acreage.

The social and environmental benefits of eating local are also compelling. The globalization of food supply means that, on average, most of our food has to travel some 2,400 kilometres from field to table, resulting in enormous emissions of green-house gases and other atmospheric pollut-ants from the millions of trucks, container ships, trains, and other vehicles required to transport food around the planet.

For many people, the desire to eat local is motivated by the need for more informa-

tion about how the food they eat is produced and prepared. Today, we are so disconnected from our food: processed and packaged foods, vacuum-sealed chicken breasts, garlic imported from China, apples from New Zealand, and the plethora of other cheap imported foods have become little more than delivery systems for nutrients, calories, sugar, salt, and fat. If

you buy your meat and fruit and vegetables at a local farmer’s market, you can talk to the farmer or producer and find out what the chicken ate or how the potatoes were grown before you choose to put them on your dinner table.

Although it is encouraging to see more people take greater responsibility for the food they eat by choosing to buy local, we can’t let governments off the hook. Politi-cians need to support local agriculture by implementing policies and laws that pro-tect farmland, ensure that Canadian farm-ers receive a fair price for the food they grow, and remove regulatory barriers that hinder farm-gate sales.

The protection of Canada’s rich agricul-tural soil from urban sprawl, roads, indus-trial development, and other land use must be central to any government local food strategy. Study after study has shown that Canada’s best agricultural land is being chewed up and paved over because of poor urban-planning decisions that value park-ing lots, new highways, and larger strip malls over keeping our precious bank of fertile soil for current and future genera-tions of farmers to steward – for our ben-efit.

A report by the David Suzuki Founda-tion, Ontario's Wealth, Canada's Future, found that an alarming 16 per cent of farm-land in the Greater Toronto Area was lost to urban encroachment between 1996 and 2001. This represents the loss of thousands of acres of some of the most fertile soils in all of North America. The same is happen-ing in other growing communities across the country – like Ft. St John and Calgary.

We should all be concerned about these issues if we want to maintain local food security and minimize the environmental costs of the food we eat.

The good news is that something is finally going to be done about the pirates who infest the Somali coast and raid far out into the Indi-an Ocean. A group of London-based insurance companies led by the Jar-dine Lloyd Thompson Group (JLT) is planning to create a private navy to protect commercial shipping passing through the Red Sea and the north-western Indian Ocean.

It’s about time. Even now, after the monsoon season has kept the pirates relatively quiet for months, sixteen ships and 354 sailors are being held cap-tive in the pirate ports along the Somali coast. The average ransom paid to free those ships and their crews has risen to around $4 million, and it’s also taking longer: an average of almost four months between the hijacking of a ship and its release.

It’s the maritime insurance companies that pay the ransoms, and they are deeply unimpressed with the per-formance of the warships from various NATO and other nations that are patrolling the region. Even when the war-ships do catch some of the pirates, they often let them go again because they are operating under severe legal con-straints.

So a fleet of twenty fast patrol boats crewed by well-armed mercenaries could be just what the doctor ordered. Unhampered by the legal considerations that paralyse the

navies, they could just kill the pirates wherever they found them and dump their bodies into the sea.

True, this would deny them the privilege of a fair trial, but that’s not really necessary. The crime is being a pirate, not some specific act of piracy, so you don’t have to catch them in the act. When you find men hundreds of kilome-tres (miles) from shore in an open boat, equipped not with fishing gear but with automatic weapons and ladders to scale the sides of passing ships, there is really no room for argument. They are pirates.

The bad news is that this is not what the insurance com-panies are planning to do at all. Instead, this private navy would operate under the direct control of the internation-al naval force that is already in the area, with “clear rules of engagement valid under international law.” What a pity. That’s exactly what is crippling the navies.

“We would have armed personnel with fast boats escort-ing ships, and make it very clear to any Somali vessels in the vicinity that they are entering a protected area,” JLT senior partner Sean Woollerson told The Independent newspaper in London. In other words, if you have insured your ship with JLT or its associates and paid the anti-piracy insurance premium (up to $450,000 per voyage for a su-pertanker), then you will be escorted by this private navy.

The pirates, not being complete fools, will just go and attack other ships instead. (JLT and its associates insure about 14 percent of the world’s commercial shipping fleet). There is still no actual plan to get rid of the pirates.

How can it have come to pass that we have a major pi-rate problem in the twenty-first century. They sorted that out in the early eigh-teenth century. Why has it got unsorted again?

Blame international law. When they were codifying the law of the sea back in

the 1970s, the world had no pirate problem worth talking about. So they dropped the rule of “universal jurisdiction” that had been the key to suppressing piracy in the bad old days.

“Universal jurisdiction” meant that every navy could arrest suspected pirates of any nationality and try them under its own national laws, since pirates had been defined as “the enemies of all mankind.” A British warship could arrest Portuguese pirates off some Caribbean island be-longing to the Netherlands, and they would be tried under British law. If they were captured in battle, they could be summarily executed.

That’s how piracy was wiped out in the first place. But when they were writing the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in the 1970s, there were no pirates any more, so they dropped the rule of “universal jurisdiction” in favour of a legal regime more attuned to modern no-tions of human rights and national sovereignty.

What has replaced those old rules, in practice, is a legal quagmire where you can never be sure who has legal ju-risdiction. So the navies (which could easily suppress the piracy if they were free to act) refrain from using force, and are reluctant even to arrest people at sea who are quite obviously pirates.

To extinguish piracy again, we need a modernised ver-sion of the old rules. That requires prompt action to cre-ate a comprehensive international agreement that gets around the Law of the Sea -- tricky, but that’s what dip-lomats get paid for. And if we got such an agreement, we wouldn’t even need private navies; the regular navies would be happy to do the job.

There is one other issue, of course. If we use serious force against the pirates, they will threaten to use force against their captives. Some of them might be killed. But since there will never be a time when there are no captives in the hands of the Somali pirates until and unless we crack down hard, that is a risk that we just have to take.

Valley Congregational Christian Church in Oliver is a prime example of what a close-knit community is all about.

“I have more mothers in the congregation than ever be-fore . . . we really look after each other,” said member Lia Pinske.

She helped organize the church’s 20th anniversary cele-bration on Sunday, Oct. 3, when past and present members gathered to reminisce old times.

Just ask any of the long-time members about the pie sales which helped acquire the property and build the church in the early 1990s. Every summer members made pies and sold them at Walton’s lakeside resort in Osoyoos.

The pie sales, organized by the women, raised more than $7,300 towards the church’s building fund. Members still joke that Valley Congregational is the church that pies built.

The church’s vision is “to be a people and place where

you can connect with Jesus and be part of a caring com-munity.”

In early 1990, a group of local Christian pilgrims began looking for a new beginning – a bible-based denomination. Pinske noted that some people said the group wouldn’t make it, but they stuck together and endured a lot to find that beginning.

Later that year 30 people attended a meeting and de-cided to bond with the Congregational Christian Churches of Canada. On October 7, 1990, 35 people attended the first congregational meeting, and shortly after hymn books and chairs were purchased, and Rev. Ian Munro became the church’s pastor.

From its inception, the church had become “wandering pilgrims,” worshipping alternately between Oliver and Os-oyoos.

In 1992, the church’s future property was purchased for $93,000. Two years later the church borrowed $100,000 and began constructing its present building. Volunteers pro-vided the labour, and the kitchen’s needs were donated.

In March of 2000, the mortgage was burned and the church became debt free.

Pinske said the church is unique in that it’s surrounded

by vineyards and has its own memorial rose garden, which is sanctioned by the BC government as an ashes-only cem-etery.

The big cross, which stands approximately 50 feet high, consists of a metal post that moves up and down hydrauli-cally.

Valley Congregational, under Pastor Ken Clarke, gives back to the community in many ways. For example, it is a participant in the “Adopt-a-Highway” program, and con-ducts services at Heritage House.

Last spring the church hosted the popular mayor’s breakfast to show its support for both civic and business leaders. And last year it started its own “sights and sounds of Christmas,” featuring various traditions from different ethnic backgrounds.

The potluck dinners at the church are out of this world, too. “It seems like we are always eating potluck dinners,” Pinske said.

For more information about Valley Congregational, drop in on a Sunday or call 250-498-4829. Between 75 and 100 members show up on Sundays, and they would love to see some new faces.

RDOS job losses to impact Area C residentsElectoral Area C Director Allan Patton says rural Oliver

residents will be affected by the elimination of seven jobs within the RDOS organization.

However, the restructuring was carried out for the ben-efit of taxpayers, he points out.

In a bid to be more frugal with taxpayers’ money, the RDOS has undergone a fiscal facelift that has resulted in several job losses. This will save taxpayers $470,000 a year, the RDOS claims.

The RDOS recently adopted 60 recommendations from an operational audit. The objective: To ensure that citizens and municipalities get the most efficiency out of their tax dollars.

The RDOS axed seven positions, including one manager and five union jobs. Three of these positions were already vacant and won’t be refilled.

“Sometimes we must make hard decisions, and these were hard decisions for the board,” said chairman Dan Ashton, adding the RDOS needs to be a more fiscally re-sponsible organization.

Patton agreed, saying payrolls at the RDOS have bal-looned in the last seven years.

“I feel bad for the people who lost their jobs. These are

young people with kids. That’s the last thing you want to see, but we have to think of the taxpayers.”

Patton said the RDOS, as a government, has to make sure it keeps in line with what taxpayers can handle. It can’t just “spend more and tax more” in tough economic times.

The director said the job losses will affect him personal-ly in terms of the work he does in Area C. For example, the loss of the district’s air quality coordinator (Janice John-son) will have a big impact on the mandate to improve air quality in the Okanagan-Similkameen.

As chairman of the air quality committee, Patton uti-lized Johnson’s services in regards to burning reduction initiatives and the district’s wood chipping program.

“We don’t want to lose any of that, so we’re making sure these services are still deliv-ered on a satisfactory level,” Patton said.

The director said the RDOS has raised the stan-dard of air quality in BC. “Other provinces are look-ing at what we do, and I don’t want to lose that stat-ure.”

Patton said a recent citi-zen survey indicated that

air quality is a very important function within the RDOS.Another position that was eliminated was the manager

of engineering services (Andrew Reeder). Patton said this department has been amalgamated with public works. But he fears the proposed septic receiving facility at the Oliver landfill and the Gallagher Lake sewer project might be put on hold because of this restructuring.

Patton said a position in financial services was also elim-inated. He noted this will affect how he and Oliver Mayor Pat Hampson deal with financial assistance for various functions, such as parks and recreation.

Ashton said the audit will result in some strategic initia-tives and will provide citizens with a higher level of service at a reduced cost.

Group trying to establish local area bar bus

Lyonel Doherty photoAdmiring the detail

Olivia Osland from Osoyoos admires a doll house built by W. Borthwick at the 27th annual Fall Art Show and Sale at the Oliver Community Centre last Sunday. Borthwick won first place for his work titled “Home On the Range.”

A shuttle bus system to transport people to five different bars from Penticton to Oliver is in the works.

Ye Olde Welcome Inn proprietor Dale Hyworon said meetings are underway to establish a “bar tour” bus, simi-lar to transportation systems used for wine tours.

The initiative was sparked after Oliver Taxi’s business licence was revoked by the Town on October 1.

“I think it’s good for everyone. People will have the op-

tion of getting to licenced establishments (without risking driving while impaired),” Hyworon said.

He noted that two bus operators have expressed interest in the venture, however, some concern was raised about not being able to break even on the cost of the service. An-other meeting is being scheduled to address that issue.

Hyworon said the bus would drive patrons to different bars for a nominal fee (a suggested $10). He noted that both an ICBC representative and a liquor control inspector have expressed favourable views on the initiative.

Meanwhile, Osoyoos Taxi has been doing some business

in Oliver. A spokesman said they’ve been receiving lots of phone calls, and hope to get the paperwork finalized to continue providing service.

The company has asked the Town of Oliver for a letter of support in its bid to secure permission from the Passenger Transportation Branch to provide interim service here.

Anyone interested in providing taxi service in town can get more information at the Town Hall. In fact, some peo-ple have already picked up applications. In the meantime, the municipality has left it open for Osoyoos Taxi to pro-vide interim service.

Community Gardens looks into the future

(This is Part 1 of a two-part series on the sec-ond annual general meeting of Oliver Commu-nity Gardens).

The Oliver Community Gardens held their second annual general meeting on September 30. The yearly overview, given by outgoing chairperson Judy Harvey in-cluded the following:

All of the 35 beds were rented out this year, reflecting both a need and an interest in community gardening in our town. Sev-eral gardeners rented more than one plot, and a few renters ended up not sustaining their rented garden plots.

Produce grown by school children (using eight plots in total, with one pre-school, two elementary schools and the secondary school involved) was delivered to the Oli-ver Food Bank over the summer. Important life lessons learned: Veggies aren’t grown in a grocery store; it’s fun to witness the miracle of growth; healthy food is not so hard to grow; enjoy and share.

The general upkeep of the large vacant portion of the property brought challenges that only a handful of the OCGS members were committed to address. Organized work bees were not attended as well as had been hoped.

The group offered seminars by sev-eral high profile speakers including Cam Boughen, a master gardener from the RDOS, who spoke on composting. A work-shop on invasive/noxious weeds was put on by Lisa Scott’s department. Our own Heather Whittall spoke on planting a chil-dren’s garden. The workshops were most informative, and had been advertised to the whole community, so it was a bit disap-pointing to the committee that the average attendance was a mere 10 people at each.

The overall sense of this past year was positive, with tasty food being grown by folks who otherwise may not have had the opportunity to do so. Many practical ideas were generated at the meet-ing that can be implemented in the future.

There is no doubt that this is a “community” gar-den. We have so many peo-ple to thank for helping us along. At this year’s AGM Judy made a point of thank-ing the following:

Pat Monahan (compost liaison, weed control); Paula Vega de la Rodriguez (worm compost “expert”); Judy Nicholas (watering many gardeners’ beds during sum-mer drought); the Town of Oliver (mulch and help with the irrigation system); Oli-ver Chronicle (many articles and support); Val Johnson ( Channel 18 shows); Bill Fred-ing and Cate Turner (donat-ing manure); Pat Buckland (work bee help and grants contact); Kiwanis Club (a generous $200); Heather and Luke Whittall (set up OCGS website to put us in the “big leagues”); Thorp family, Future Gardens (plant do-nations); Juleen McElgunn (barrel plantings); Gene and Shelly Covert (hand-crafted Community Gardens sign, barrels).

Heather Whittall received a special thank you. To quote Judy: “She managed

to keep everything together this year.” Heather also reached out to the communi-ty at the Farmer’s Market, with some lovely fundraising items such as the hostess gifts (featuring Dot Cranston’s donated garden-themed cups) and silk screened OCGS cloth bags. Judy reminded everyone: “If you haven’t purchased one of the cloth bags that she designed you must see her – they are precious.”

Judy ended the list of people to thank by mentioning the original committee who set up the OCGS and has sustained it over three years. It was Linda Bartram who did all the detailed work to get us “non-profit society status,” and successfully pursued our start-up grant from Public Health. Cam Bartram has been looking after our finances, insur-ance and all. Brita Park’s leadership includ-ed co-writing some articles for the paper. Marji Basso got us a $500 grant, provided leadership through the layers of govern-ment, liaised with the Farm-to-School proj-ect, and is a non-stop fund of practicality and ideas. Judy’s final thanks went “to our spouses (forgotten heroes) who willingly offered a hand to the setting up of the beds and care of the grounds.”

The plenary expressed their deep appre-ciation to Judy for her vision, enthusiasm, and “her gift of getting people involved to help the OCGS project along.” Without her energy and determination, Oliver in 2010 would still not have experienced commu-nity gardening.

A new slate of officers was elected as fol-lows: Luke Whittall as chairperson, Heath-er Whittall as secretary-treasurer and di-rectors at large -- Marji Basso and Juleen McElgunn.

New business items were considered in the overall framework of needing to move the gardens to a new, permanent, location. This will take time to accomplish and we feel that the next year will be taken up with finding just the right venue. We foresee the OCG society on “hiatus” for the next sea-son.

(Part 2 continues next week, October 13).

Town takes next step in street naming review Street naming and addressing in various parts of Oliver

and the surrounding rural area have undergone several changes since the original town site survey in 1921.

In 2011 or 2012, Canada Post plans to eliminate the cur-rent rural route addressing system to one where mail is addressed to the recipient’s physical address. As this will require mailing address changes for most of Oliver area residents and businesses, Council has undertaken a street addressing review prior to the Canada Post changes so res-idents and businesses will not have to deal with additional

address changes in the future.Council is now undertaking a study of Oliver’s street

naming and house numbering system in keeping with its 2010 strategic corporate priority to explore the possibil-ity of replacing the current street numbering system with something more manageable and more appropriate for the community.

Residents’ views about street naming and house num-bering in Oliver are important and appreciated. In re-sponse, the Town is seeking input at an upcoming commu-nity open house at the Oliver Elks Hall on Thursday Oct. 14 from 3-5 p.m. and 6-8 p.m.

The Town of Oliver is initiating a public engagement process to provide background information on this project

and to give the public an opportunity to ask questions and provide input. Before embarking on a process of amend-ing the addressing system, the Town would like to hear from community members about: What are we trying to fix?; how can we fix it?; how can we create a long-lasting solution?; and how can we make sure our changes work for all users?; and what is the most appropriate way to imple-ment such changes?

Oliver recognizes that there are various challenges to the existing street naming and house number system, and views this process as an opportunity to develop an ad-dressing system which continues the municipality’s sense of civic pride.

Concert society prepares for first concert in series

Andi and Peter Alexander present Opera, Spice and Ev-erything Nice! Thursday, Oct. 14 at Frank Venables Audito-rium in Oliver.

This first concert in the South Okanagan Concert Soci-ety’s 2010-2011 series will be filled with wit, wisdom and fun as Andi and Peter show off a vast repertoire of operatic arias and duets.

Expect selections from Mozart’s Magic Flute, Puccini’s La Boheme, Rossini’s Barber of Seville, Bizet’s Carmen, and Verdi’s La Traviata. Favourites from Les Miserables

and The Phantom of the Opera will also be featured. They will be accompanied by Karen Lee-Morlang on piano.

Andi is a Mezzo Soprano with a vocal career that has ex-panded to take her into stage directing and producing. She founded MAGI in 2004 as an a cappella vocal trio and has “grown” it into a company now presenting a wide range of fully staged productions. She is in demand as a soloist in oratorio and recently performed Mozart’s Requiem and Beethoven’s Mass in C.

Peter, a baritone, was recently lauded in Opera Canada magazine: “He dominated the evening by exhibiting ex-cellent vocal command eminently suited to the Baroque period” when he performed the title role in Pimpinone. Peter not only has a passion for opera stage performance, he is also a professional choral singer. He is currently a member of the twelve voice chamber ensemble Musica In-tima, hailed by the Globe and Mail as “one of the best small

choirs in all the land!”Flex tickets are on sale at Beyond Bliss in Oliver and Im-

perial Office Pro in Osoyoos. The four admissions are en-tirely flexible and can be used together or in combination. This is particularly attractive to snowbirds who may be away for some performances. Young people 17 and under are welcome to attend the concerts free. All concerts start at 8 pm.

SOAP in the midst of rehearsing for big drama

Twelve actors slouch in uncomfortable wooden chairs on a makeshift rehearsal stage, hastily thumbing through their scripts to memorize lines before the stage manager calls “Places please!”

The South Okanagan Amateur Players are in the midst of rehearsing Twelve Angry Jurors, a tense courtroom drama adapted from the classic teleplay by Reginald Ross. Tickets are on sale now for the November production.

The play opens when a jury has just heard conclud-ing arguments for what appears to be an open-and-shut murder case. Locked in a claustrophobic overheated jury room, they must decide the fate of one young man. Tem-pers mount to a tense climax as each juror is challenged to look at the facts without prejudice.

Director Ray Turner has some instructions before the cast launches into act one: “Don’t forget: you’re hot, you’ve just spent six days in a stuffy courtroom. You don’t want to debate this murder case, you want to get home. Let’s see that on your faces,” he exhorts.

Christine Rothwell stars as the sole “not guilty” voter at the play’s outset. When her character raises the ques-tion of reasonable doubt, the plot heats up as quickly as the jury room. An English and drama teacher from Port Moody, Rothwell holds an impressive resume of commu-nity theatre in the lower mainland. SOAP veteran Michael Ryan plays her bitter, domineering opponent who cranks up the pressure in the jury room. Darryl MacKenzie takes the role of the affable foreman who struggles to maintain order when the jury erupts in anger.

The production gives four newcomers the spotlight: Chris Harkness, Leslee Hatherly, Paul Tait, and Chelsea Cameron-Horner make their first appearance on the SOAP

She’s smiling now, but if Helene Mir-Turner had to hold these 25-pound cabbages any longer, she’d be feeling the pain. The applied member of the Oliver Legion had a great time selling fruits and vegetables during the annual Legion Market Days on Friday, Oct. 1. The gigantic cabbages were the talk of the market, and would definitely make a lot of cabbage rolls.

School board won’t take a chance with tripUsing firearms is not the type of physical education that

SOSS students should be engaged in, according to School District 53.

That’s why the board voted against a request to allow the PE 11-12 class to visit the Sportsmen’s Bowl for a day of shooting and archery.

“I’m completely opposed to teaching kids how to use guns and bows and arrows,” said board chair June Har-rington at a meeting last week.

She said if parents choose to teach their children the sport of shooting, that’s fine, but she doesn’t believe this should be taught as part of a school event.

The request was made by teacher David Wilson from SOSS, who wanted the board’s permission to involve the class in the safe use of firearms and bows under the in-struction of the Southern Okanagan Sportsmens’ Associa-

tion (SOSA).“Shooting and archery at the Sportsmen’s Bowl in Oliver

provides a very unique opportunity for members of our community to integrate with our students in a safe, posi-tive way,” Wilson said in a letter to the board.

Wilson requested that the board reconsider the rifle range as a restricted activity in the district’s field trip pol-icy. But that’s where the problem lies.

Superintendent of Schools Juleen McElgunn reminded the board that Wilson’s request falls into a restricted activ-ity. Under the policy, the board prohibits many high-risk activities, such as auto racing, kickboxing, bungie jumping, rifle ranges, hang-gliding, horse jumping, and paintball.

But school trustee Tamela Edwards said her desire was to waive the restriction and approve the field trip. She not-ed that shooting and archery are a positive learning expe-rience for the students in a strictly regulated environment.

Fellow trustee Myrna Coates said good archery and fire-arm instruction is the best way to keep children safe.

But McElgunn said most school districts have done away with archery, labelling it as a restricted activity.

“From a personal perspective, I wouldn’t recommend it (the field trip).

The superintendent agreed with Harrington, saying it’s not the type of activity students should be learning.

“I think there’s too many risks for the board. What hap-pens if something goes wrong? What if a gun backfires?”

McElgunn questioned what would happen if a student took an inappropriate interest in weapons after this field trip. She added there is a potential legal issue if something goes wrong.

Trustee Debbie Marten said she has a problem with the concept of students handling weapons. “Even if it’s a con-trolled situation, we don’t know where some of these kids are emotionally and mentally.”

Marten made a motion to deny the request, which was carried unanimously. Edwards said she changed her opin-ion after hearing what other board members had to say.

A Gleaner cleanerYoung Gleaners volunteers were in town last Friday cleaning windows and handing out free flowers and pop. Here, Katrina Bates and Jonathan Tobin from MEI Secondary School in Abbotsford wash windows at the Oliver Chronicle as part of their “missions” class.

New Democrat MP Alex Atamanenko (Southern Interior) is urging Stockwell Day (president of the Treasury Board) to see the light in terms of the lack of police resources in Oliver.

In a letter to Day, Atamanenko noted that a number of rural communities are suffer-ing due to the lack of resources for police funding. He referred to a recent article in the Oliver Chronicle outlining the hardship this brings to local communities.

“Municipal officials are questioning why the federal government is download-ing training costs onto the province and municipalities who cannot afford to pay for additional members,” Atamanenko said.

They believe that funding should be allo-cated for replacements to cover maternity, paternity and sick leave instead of forcing other members in a detachment to absorb additional files.

“As you can imagine, this is resulting in case overload and putting additional stress on members of the RCMP. “

As one mayor stated to Atamanenko, “the RCMP top brass and the Treasury Board should be held accountable for poor planning regarding maternity and paterni-ty leave and then trying to solve the prob-lem by amalgamation which is nothing more than spreading the thin yellow line even thinner.”

Atamanenko urged Day to give priority to this matter so that “we can continue to have viable, safe rural communities.”

MP urges government to give more $$ for cops

Plummeting enrolment worries boardThe continuing trend of enrolment declines in School District 53 is cre-

ating serious concerns at the board level. “It’s going to have a long-term impact on the district,” said Superinten-

dent Juleen McElgunn at last week’s board meeting.She noted the elementary sector is down 111 students, from 1,400 on

September 30, 2009 to 1,289 on September 15, 2010.McElgunn said the board was anticipating 50-55 fewer elementary stu-

dents this fall, but the actual decline was 62 (including a 26-pupil decline in kindergarten).

“Thankfully we have full-day kindergarten (in all elementary schools now),”McElgunn said.

She pointed out there were 160 kindergarten pupils last year, compared to 125 this year.

The superintendent said the problem is a number of families have moved out of the district to seek employment in urban centres.

“We need more births and babies,” she quipped.McElgunn said enrolment declines are happening all over BC, not just

here, noting the province has lost 60,000 students since 2000.

She pointed out that funding protection for enrolment declines is a big help, but the government has indicated that this funding will likely dry up in three years.

“In our district every student makes a difference, but we’re seeing really significant declines.’

McElgunn noted a disturbing trend, which is highlighted by enrolment projections. For example, there was a district head count of 3,051 students on Sept. 30, 2009, compared to 2,307 on Sept. 15, 2010.

It is projected the district will be down to 2,103 students in 2012, and fewer than 2,000 in 2014 (a first for the district). In 2015, enrolment is pro-jected to be less than 1,900.

What will all this mean?McElgunn said the board will be faced with some big challenges, such as

how to financially maintain schools that are not at capacity. As schools get smaller, staffing will become a challenge too, she pointed out.

But she said the biggest challenge will be offering a full range of educa-tional opportunities (courses) to senior students. In particular, with fewer students, it’s difficult to offer specialized courses, such as art and drama, McElgunn pointed out. For example, Osoyoos Secondary School has not had a drama class for several years, she noted.

Weather cooperates for Festivalof the Grape, visitors delighted

Probably the best news for the Festival of the Grape last Sunday was it didn’t rain.

Committee chairman Kenn Oldfield said the weather co-operated to help make the festival another success. “Ev-erything went smoothly . . . I heard a lot of good comments from people.”

First time festival-goers Martin and Lynn MacLeod from

Chilliwack told the Chronicle they thought it was a great event, noting there was a good variety of things to see and some great wines to sample.

“It was a great promotion for BC wines,” Martin said.Oldfield estimated that 2,300 adults attended the festi-

val, which featured more than 50 wineries and the popular “grape stomp” contest.

Dollmaker goes back in time with creationsthat win ribbons and many people’s hearts


A crafty artisanKaren Skaros from Oliver is a skilled artisan who took home several first place ribbons from the Rock Creek Fall Fair recently. Her specialty is making antique-looking dolls.

Ask Karen Skaros to sew a rip in a pair of jeans and she’ll procrastinate. But ask her to sew a doll together and she’ll do it with a passion, and likely win a prize in the process.

The Oliver artisan recently came home with eight first place ribbons from the Rock Creek Fall Fair. She was the sewing aggre-gate winner for her entries including three primitive hand-made dolls, two quilted handbags, a teddy bear, and 3D fiber art. She also won a red ribbon for a centerpiece of primitive fabric in a fabric bowl, which was baked in the oven to accentuate the scent of fruit and spices.

To top it all off, Skaros took home the trophy for best hobby display, featuring a collection of antique-looking dolls.

Last year she entered eight categories in the fair and won seven prizes.

“I love old things . . . and it’s a challenge to see if I can create them myself,” said the self-taught artisan.

But Skaros can’t stand mending clothes, so her husband Dan is on his own in that department. In fact, he’s had to learn how use the sewing machine to repair his jeans and shorts.

“If it’s a substantial job, I send it to my mom,” Karen said.

Admittedly, the homemaker is like a

little girl in a candy store when she finds something really old, such as a piece of antique fabric or lace. Her eyes light up and her imagination soars with ideas. For example, she will take a piece of antique linen found at an estate sale, dye it in cof-fee and spice to make it look primitive, and bake it in the oven to get that aged look and feel. Then she’ll create a doll’s dress, which looks like it was plucked straight from the early 1900s.

Karen loves making antique replica Rag-gedy Ann dolls and prairie dolls. One of her favourite creations is the historical church doll. These cloth dolls were made from men’s handkerchiefs and were small enough to fit in a pocket. Girls used to play with them during church services, and when the dolls were accidentally dropped, they neither made a sound nor brought a scowl from mom and dad.

The history of these dolls intrigued Karen, who acquired ticking fabric from a woman in Grand Forks and used it to make her own church dolls.

Presently, Karen is gearing up for the Christmas season. She makes Santa Claus dolls with sheep’s wool beards.

And what has Dan learned from all this? He’s learned not to taste anything in a con-tainer without asking first. That’s because it could have something stewing in a batch of dye.

YARD SALES


Members of the South Okanagan Hungarian Club can’t believe they lost 40 years’ worth of memories in one night.

That’s what it feels like, said officer Maggie Prezenszki,

commenting on the recent theft of their new trailer from 101 Street in Oliver.

“We invested in this trailer to keep everything together and in one fell swoop we lost everything.”

Prezenszki explained that “heartless” thieves took the trailer that contained all of the club’s equipment and pho-tographs of past members.

The trailer contained equipment used for various func-

tions, such as the Mother’s Day dance, the Father’s Day picnic, and the harvest dance. One piece of equipment is a

stainless steel industrial deep fryer made especially for the club. Another is a large hand-made pot for making gulyas for the Father’s Day picnic.

Other items stolen include: propane tanks, steel drums, new electric roasters, Hungarian and Canadian flags, and tableware.

Prezenszki said the thieves took away the club’s means to continue holding these events and promoting good fellowship. She noted these events keep their traditions and language alive for their Canadian-born children and grandchildren.

“People worked hard by donating time and money to buy or make these things and help ease their homesick-ness from their homeland and reconnect with their roots.”

What is sorely missed is the club’s memorabilia repre-senting the past 40 years.

Prezenszki said it was strange how the incident un-folded. The trailer was taken sometime on the evening of Thursday, Sept. 23. Two days later someone called Prezen-szki and accused the club of dumping its stuff illegally on private property. But she denied this claim, not knowing the trailer had been stolen. On Sunday, club members at-tended the scene on Fairview Road, about five kilometres west of Oliver. Nothing was salvageable except for some lumber, Prezenszki said.

She suspects the thieves dumped the items to make the trailer easier to tow, and then came back later to retrieve the items. This made Prezenszki feel like the club was vic-timized twice.

The big question Prezenszki has is why the thieves would want to keep the photographs and memorabilia, which would have no value to them.

If anyone has information about the stolen items, please call the RCMP at 250-498-3422 or Prezenszki at 250-498-2804.
