Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire� ghters responded to the third structure � re in less than a week last Friday when a Bar-celo Road residence in Cawston went up in � ames. Two occupants were fortunate to escape the fast moving � re unharmed.
Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department responded to a � re that broke out in a Barcelo Road residence in Cawston on Friday, February 7.
The home was fully involved when � re� ghters arrived on scene at ap-proximately 8 a.m.
Keremeos � re� ghters called on the assistance of Osoyoos Fire Depart-ment, who arrived with a tender and � ve personnel, reinforcing the KVFD contingent of roughly a dozen � re-
� ghters and three new recruits.Cold temperatures and the need
to shuttle water hampered � re� ght-ing efforts.
“The building was completely involved when we arrived and is a complete write off,” said KVFD Chief Jordy Bosscha Friday after-noon. The stubborn � re, which is believed to have begun in the build-ing’s carport, spread to firewood near the residence. Bosscha said the � re department was having dif� culty acquiring the services of an excavator to help with mop up.
Cindy Horrocks is the daughter in law of George (83) and Marlene
Mysel (79), the owners of the house. Horrocks said Monday that the couple were now living in her base-ment suite, and were coping with the loss of their house.
“The � re investigator was here yes-terday,” she said, “ and they believe the cause is accidental.”
Horrocks said everything burned in the blaze, including two vehicles in the garage.
On the morning of the � re, Hor-rocks’ husband Bryan was having coffee with the Mysels, getting ready to take George to Kelowna for a medical appointment, when he heard

Julie Fowler addresses a large crowd at the Hedley Seniors Centre on Monday, February 3 in the first of a series of community conversations taking place in the community.
Photo by Steve Arstad
A large crowd gathered in the Hed-ley Seniors Centre on Family Day to engage in the community’s first com-munity conversation.
“How a Town of 250 Became a Cultural Capital with ArtWells” was the topic of discussion, with sponsor Angelique Wood’s guest speaker Julie Fowler leading the conversation.
Fowler recounted the ArtsWells Festival’s successful 10 year run, from small beginnings to a three day arts festival that includes 80 musical acts, on nine stages, in addition to work-shops and visual and literary arts.
“The emphasis of this presentation is not about getting big, it’s about engaging in a positive experience for the community,” said Wood, who rep-resents Hedley as Regional District Okanagan Similkameen Director.
The meeting saw upwards of 60 people in attendance, including mem-
bers from Cawston, Keremeos, Olalla, Princeton, Kamloops and Osoyoos.
The audience was curious to find out specifics of the Wells experience - how similar was the infrastructure to Hedley’s, what barriers existed to the festival, logistics, funding sources and problems encountered along the way.
“I thought the meeting was an exceptional success, not only for the insights offered by all the presenters, but also for the incredible diversity of people in the room. The organiz-ers definitely achieved their goal of creating an inspiring and stimulating experience without the expense of having to travel to a conference,” said Grist Mill Manager Chris Mathieson following the meeting.
“ I know that there are already several partnerships for the Grist Mill that came out of today’s meeting, just from being in the same room as the right people full of motivation to make things happen. I really look forward to the other conversations in the series,” he added.
Wood was happy to see a large cross section of the Similkameen public in attendance. One of her goals in sponsoring the conversation was to have local leaders connect with one
another.“I often wonder whether we are
talking to one another often enough about these things,” she said, “Just connecting more could be a way for us to do things better without an extra cost attached.
“The idea behind this meeting is to provoke thought, to get people of a different mix gathering in one place.
“It’s not prescriptive - I wanted to bring the conference to Hedley, where people could assemble in one place, get thinking and focus their energy on what might be done here.
“I felt the meeting achieved one of our goals which was to bring together leadership in the Similkameen Valley to learn from what one another are doing.
“Because rural leaders are usually ‘putting things on’ they don’t get a lot of opportunities to network or cross-pollinate - at the end of the meeting there was a buzz in the room as people exchanged phone numbers and emails.”
The next Community Conversa-tion will be in April. Speakers have yet to be announced; the topic will be food security.

Keremeos Director Manfred Bauer speaks to Fortis’ Project Direc-tor Ian Dyck following a Fortis presentation to the regional district Corporate Ser vices Committee meeting on Thursday, February 6. Fortis discussed hydro rates, the advanced metering project and the high Similkameen dam proposal with re-gional directors.
Residents of the Si-milkameen facing onerous Fortis electrical bills will not be seeing any relief any time soon, Fortis officials indicated at a regional board commit-tee meeting on Thursday, February 6.
Corey Sinclair, Man-ager of Regulatory Af-fairs for Fortis, told the regional board that Fortis originally wished to main-tain a flat rate as opposed to the two tiered system in discussions prior to July of 2012, when the two tiered rate took effect. (Under the conservation rate, the first 1,600 kWh are billed at .088 cents per kWh; after 1,600 kWh, the rate goes to .129 cents per kWh in a two month billing period) In the com-pany’s application to the
British Columbia Utilities Commission, they recom-mended a flat rate and were surprised to be told to step rates.
“We wouldn’t have done it, otherwise,” he said.
Sinclair indicated that Fortis continues to be concerned about the two tiered system’s impact on some of its customers. He said that customer satis-faction had dropped from the mid 90 per cent range since the system was introduced, to the 70 per cent range.
“Some of our custom-ers are having a hard time with this and we don’t like it,” he admitted.
“It’s very difficult to deal with - you can’t change it without having a negative impact on other customers, while you’re trying to help customers (presently affected), and we’re always constrained by the regulatory prin-ciples we must live by, that this has to be revenue neutral.”
He emphasized the revenue neutrality of the rate, noting a widely held view that Fortis was
making additional profit from it was totally false.
“There is nothing in it for us,” he said, “we are just getting negative feed-back and our customer satisfaction is suffering.”
Several directors voiced the opinion the board should be talking to the BCUC, not Fortis. Area “D” Director Tom Siddon noted the group suffering most were “elders living in tin boxes - old houses with little insulation, reli-ant on baseboard heaters, now having to choose between buying food or paying the electric bill.” Siddon said there was a “BCUC element to this,” suggesting Fortis raise the conservation rate thresh-old from 800 KW per month, something Sin-clair advised against.
“It actually has the opposite effect of what you want it to do,” he told Siddon, “it would end up hurting the higher con-sumption customers even more.”
Boundary - Similka-meen MLA Linda Lar-son, who observed most of the discussion from the gallery, addressed the
board in the meeting’s lat-er stages in order to read the BCUC’s report on Fortis’ recently submitted analysis to the commis-sion on the rate system.
“There is some room for hope,” she said prior to reading the document, which stated the commis-sion would continue to monitor the rate’s effects until the next report, due November 30 of this year.
“Keep those letters coming,” was Larson’s advice to discontented customers of the electri-cal rate. She said the com-mission had never before received so many letters over a single issue, adding that letters should be sent to the BCUC.
Following the meeting, Area “G” Director An-gelique Wood offered resi-dents a telephone number to call if they were finding their electric bills beyond their ability to pay.
“Residents having problems with rates be-yond their capacity to pay should call: 1-866-436-7847,” she advised.

Message to residents: keep complaining to BCUC about high cost of hydro

Ian Dyck, Project Manager for Advanced Metering Infrastructure for Fortis BC outlined the timetable for installation of smart meters in the region during a meeting with regional board committee members on Febru-ary 6.
Dyck said work on the extensive project would begin in late May or June. There would be two sets of installation activity, one to install the meter’s communications network, and the second to install smart meters in individual households.
The work will begin in Trail, and is expected to be completed in Sep-tember. From there, the project will proceed to Kelowna, advancing to the South Okanagan about 12 - 14 months from now, with completion of the program in the Similkameen to take place in 2015.
For those wishing to opt out of the smart meter program, an initial fee of $88 will be charged, along with an additional fee of $18 during each two month billing period. The initial fee of $88 will be reduced to $60 if the customer gives Fortis advance notice.
Dyck said residents will have their meters changed out regardless of whether they wish to opt out of the smart meter program or not, as the program also involves a regulatory requirement to upgrade.
The mechanism for advising Fortis of opt out in order to take advantage of the reduced initial charge of $60 would come from a response from a Fortis customer upon receipt of their notification of the upcoming meter change, which will be sent to house-holds at least 30 days prior to the event.
Smart meters still a year away for Similkameen residents

a pop and crackling sound. He pulled open the garage door and saw fire going up the wall in the corner. He thought at the time that he might be able to control it, but upon closer examination found the attic above the garage a blazing inferno.
“So he ran back into the house and said ‘come you guys, get out we’ve got a fire,’ and then it was just a matter of minutes,” related Horrocks.
“I was just getting ready to go into town and Mar-lene called me and yelled ‘we got a fire, come over and get the dog, and I ran over and got the dog and brought her dog back here and called 911 just in case and ran back over.
“When I first went there I couldn’t see anything but just a little smoke on the backside of the house and when I went back over there again, it was less than five minutes, the flames were shooting out the roof.
“We got the dog out, we got them out, we threw the clothes out the window and within 10 minutes she was totally involved,” Horricks said.
Horrocks figures the difference between life and death could have been the matter of a few minutes. Herself, Bryan and George were minutes away from leaving for Kelowna, and Marlene, who had recently been troubled with arthritis, was about to lay down again.
“It was so scary when you think what could have happened because in the next 20 minutes we would have been gone. Just the way that it all went together, that we were still here even if she had gotten herself out she would have been alone.
“Our neighbours were amazing. They came over and tried to help, they stayed with Marlene and George while we tried to get things organized. It’s a
nice little community and that’s why we live here.”The two families had moved to Cawston during the
past five years. They got Mar-lene’s tea cart out of the house and that was the only thing other than a couple of pieces of clothing.
“You think you know what you’re doing but it just goes so fast, you’re just caught up in the moment.
“They (fire department) got here very quickly but it was just too late.
“We were really, really pleased, they (firefighters) were there all day. They worked eight hours and did everything they could, and even when they knew they couldn’t save it they still did everything they could to control it. They’re awesome.
“They’re volunteers.”Friday’s fire was the third
major structure fire in a week fought by the beleaguered Keremeos fire department, who barely had time to service their turnout gear before being called to another serious blaze.
A fire at the Riverbed Bistro last Saturday, February 1 was followed by the destruction of a building on Seventh Avenue on Monday morning, February 3.

Jennifer, along with her husband Terrance spent most of the after-noon meeting and greeting patrons on Wednesday, February 5, as part of a fundraising effort for Montgomery after a fire destroyed her business last week.It turned out to be a great day, as just over 1,000 dollars was raised for Montgomery. Towel and clipper donations were made as well.Kyla Watson donated some very creative and cute hand made children’s hats that are still available at Emmys for only $15 with all proceeds going to Jennifer as well.The three would like to thank everyone for their contributions and generosity.

Fortis’ Bob Gibney, Senior Manager of Community and First Nations reported “no new info” on the proposed Similkameen dam at the regional district Corporate Services Committee meeting on February 6.
An updated project description had been filed with the BC Environment Assessment office, with a detailed plan outlining how to proceed expected to come back to Fortis in late February.
Some seasonally sensitive field work has also been undertaken with both Similkameen Indian bands. An expression of interest in use of the land has also been filed.
Some tabletop studies have also taken place.
“The reality is, this project is 100 per cent funded by our shareholders, there is no cus-tomer cost, so we will have an idea whether this project is a go - no go... the timeframe keeps slipping, but I’m going to suggest in 2014 we’ll have an idea if it’s going to go.”
Gibney said Fortis would be contacting lo-cal municipalities to arrange formal meetings to discuss the project in the near future.
Later in board discussions, it was noted by Director Michael Brydon (Westbench) that the board had not yet taken the time to seri-ously debate the issue of a dam on the Upper Similkameen. It was noted, however, that it was a concern of the joint committee at a recent meeting.

EditorialLack of insurance a second tragedy
The epidemic round of structure fires experienced in the Similkameen over this past winter have resulted in numerous personal tragedies for those residents affected.
Lives have been disrupted, and irreplace-able property lost forever. Fortunately, no lives have been lost.
It’s a double tragedy when this type of ca-lamity strikes a property owner who does not have adequate insurance.
Many reasons for not purchasing insurance are offered by those affected by a fire’s conse-quences, from cost to the belief that if one is careful, one doesn’t need insurance.
What happens to our property is not always something we have totally under our control, however, and the cost of not being prepared for such a disaster can be devastat-ing, especially for business.
Local insurance rates for small businesses and personal property varies depending on the situation, but in most cases is not prohibi-tively expensive.
This protection is not only offered to replace expensive losses, but also to protect the owners from suffering financially from an interuption in business or lifestyle.
It’s not easy, or cheap to get involved in a small business in today’s economy, and we understand the onerous expenses one must make just to open the doors. But no matter how careful we are, we cannot protect our-selves from every negative event that might occur.
Looking at the consequences of the many recent fire events in the Similkameen, insur-ance should not only seem like a good idea, but a necessity as well.

On April 1, medical marijuana growing licences expire across the country, and only licensed com-mercial growers will be able to legally fill a prescription for pot.
Ottawa is moving to clean up the mess it created by issuing medical licences all over the country. Since then, municipalities have complained that small-scale medical licences have been greatly exceeded, with many used as fronts for a criminal drug trade that has made B.C. infamous around the world.
How big is the problem? There are about 38,000 Ca-nadians licensed to carry marijuana for medical pur-poses, and half of them live in B.C. Their permission to grow their own or buy it from designated small-scale growers is withdrawn in a couple of months.
Here’s a look at the community level. Police in the Fraser Valley suburb of Maple Ridge estimate that
it alone has 500 properties licensed to grow pot. No, Maple Ridge is not a world hotspot for glaucoma or arthritis. It is histori-cally known for its secluded properties and as a base for B.C.’s prison system and the province’s Hells Angels.
Police have only an estimate because Ottawa’s bungled medical pot scheme conceals the loca-tion of licensed growers from provincial and local governments.
RCMP Insp. Dave Fleugel told Maple Ridge council last week that his detachment will first target medical growers they know are linked to organized crime. But it’s difficult to determine which are legal and which are not.
“This has the poten-tial to cripple the courts,” Fleugel said. “Something is going to have to take a back seat if we are going to go after all of them.”
The police and fire department have pro-posed an amnesty or grace period, allowing people to disclose their location and
have it properly dismantled without penalty, to help deal with the volume.
This mess was created by Ottawa in response to a court ruling that forced them to make medical pot available. The Harper gov-ernment remains trapped in a failed war-on-drugs mentality that prevents any innovation or even com-mon sense.
Then there is the circus in Vancouver, where self-styled princes of pot exploit the confusion of the medical marijuana law to run an Amsterdam-style retail trade.
Cannabis Culture, the pot and propaganda empire built by Marc Emery before he was jailed in the U.S., rants about the government’s “war on pa-tients,” amid garish ads for “pot by post” and exotic weed varieties.
“By Health Canada’s own estimate, the cost will increase from $5 per gram to $8.80 per gram – going up by nearly 400 per cent,” its website warns. Appar-ently smoking lots of weed
really is bad for your math skills.
Dana Larsen, who spearheaded the ill-con-ceived and failed decrimi-nalization petition last year, heads up the serious-look-ing “Medical Cannabis Dispensary.”
Its official-looking forms have a long list of conditions where only a confirmation of diagnosis is required. In addition to genuine conditions such as side effects of chemo-therapy, it includes anxiety, psoriasis, spinal cord injury and even “substance addic-tions/withdrawal.”
And did you know you can get a vet’s note to buy medical pot for your pet?
Larsen has boasted about the exotic offerings of his stores, including “watermelon hash oil” at $150 for 2.5 grams. Wow man, that’s like 400 million per cent higher!
Fittingly, this farce goes back underground on April Fool’s Day. Medical users can only order ship-ments from an approved commercial producer.
Prescription pot pretense endingBy Tom Fletcher Black Press

letters / opinion
To the Editor:In mid 2011 the Gordon Campbell Liberal government
passed legislation through its majority in the House called “The Clean Energy Act,” or Bill-17. This draconian piece of legislation gave birth to the “smartmeter” or AMI as they now call it. Section 17 required BC Hydro to have smartmeters installed and have operating in every home and buisness in B.C. by the end of 2012, they missed that.
It also removed smartmeters and other capital projects from being srutinized by the BC Utilities Commission. These projects had a estimated cost of over $8 billion over four years. This paved the way for BC Hydro smartmeter rollouts before any analysis of the $1 billion expenditures was done. This jumping the gun is typical for these kind of capital projects here in B.C.

To the Editor: Many years ago I and my family suffered a house fire
and lost everything we owned. We could not believe how the community stepped in with offers of assistance and donations.
Recently we have witnessed the same community generosity extended towards other fire victims in our
community. This is truly the strength of the community. Recently, Jennifer of The Paw Spa suffered a total loss of her business through fire. I am wondering if the business community will step up and offer her the same assistance as the general public does with their victims.
Sincerely, Wayne Kerr, Keremeos
To the Editor: Around 1935 or so, my sister and mother were render-
ing animal fat in the oven just after butchering. While doing that they were also doing their washing
in the kitchen with an old tub full of washing. The fat in the oven became too hot and exploded, blow-
ing the oven door open.They closed it, and it blew open again, the fire going
up to the ceiling and burning all the curtains off the wall. It blackened the kitchen.
They ran outside and called to my brother who was fixing a telephone wire up a pole in the yard.
He would not come down, as he thought they were playing a trick on him.
So they went back in the house and took the tub of water and threw it in the oven. The fire went out, but it left the whole kitchen black.
Times were tough, but dad had enough fire insurance to buy a few cans of paint. We had to scrape all that black off those walls and repaint the whole area.
What a job that was. Fire insurance then was not like it is today.
This is a very true story. Wilf Miller, Keremeos
Smartmeters bypassed consultative process
Community’s generous spirit helped aid fire recovery
House insurance not quite the same today as in 1930s
Last Monday, February 10, was Family Day. I missed it. I doubt that I was the only one to do so. It’s a fairly new statuary holiday, and many calendars don’t yet list it. Nor do we talk about it much, or prepare for it, or have pre-established rituals around it, as we do with many other major holidays. And, after all, this year it was eclipsed by the major religious Super Bowl Sunday just the week before!
I’m thinking it should not be a once-a-year day any-way. That’s not enough. I’m thinking about the too many families I encounter in my work as our local RCMP Victim Services coordinator. The wives or husbands and children who live in fear of their abusive spouse or dad or mom, who may explode at any time and through words or deeds threaten or belittle or physically harm them. We call it domestic abuse, or domestic violence. When such violence erupts in a household, it’s a Bad Family Day. And it’s remembered and anticipated every day after by the victimized recipients. They know it can be repeated any time, and without any warning. It has no special place on the calendar. I pray for the day when it no longer even exists, anywhere, on any calendar, in any family.
In the meantime, let me remind our valley residents of some of the local resources that help address this kind of
violence: (1) 911 or RCMP 250-499-5511. (2) RCMP Vic-tim Services 250-499-5511. (3) Stop The Violence Women’s Counseling, Children Who Witness Abuse Counseling, Family Support Program, Child and Youth Mental Health Services 250-499-2352. (4) Change For Good Counseling (for abusers who want help their abusive behaviors) 250-488-5939. (5) The Lower Similkameen Proactive Violence Prevention Project (community education, awareness, and action) 250-499-2352. Or contact me to learn more about any of these resources.
The bright side is the hint that we may be making prog-ress. My program, for instance, shows a sharp decline in domestic violence clients in the last year – from a previous 53 per cent of my caseload to under 30 per cent.
This Friday is Valentine’s Day. I won’t miss it. But I’m thinking that it also should not be once-a-year. How about extending it to every day, and expanding it from romance to the broader loves of human compassion and indiscriminate kindness? That, in fact, would be the best way to stop the violence – to end bad family days, and to make all days Happy Family Days.
Here, in the simply profound words of Joshua, age eight, is a Valentine thought for all of us:
“I think we all kind of invent love when we’re nice to each other.”
Ron Shonk is the Coordinator for the Proactive Violence Prevention Project, services provided through LSCSS – Lower Similkameen Community Services
Family Day and Valentine’s Day are “kissing cousins”By Ron Shonk RCMP VIctim Services Coordinator
A day to focus on love… Valentine’s DayValentine’s Day can be one of the happiest days of
the year, or it can be one of the loneliest days. It can be a reminder of what we long to feel from someone in our life. Love is all around us, yet so many people young and old, may not “feel it”.
Whether it is a couple with marriage struggles or des-perate parents at wit’s end of what to do with their acting out” child or teenager; from my professional background, I could often trace most issues that people came to see me about, right back to someone not feeling loved. Often kids
and especially teenagers would act out their frustration, if they did not “feel loved” by their parents.
I also speak from my own personal experience. During my teen years, I was a handful especially for my mom. Why? I didn’t “feel loved”, so I started searching for groups of kids to feel accepted, which got me into all sorts of mischief. Did my mom love me? Absolutely! But she didn’t know how to communicate it in a way that would reach my heart.
In my early 40’s, I read a book that changed my life. It was called “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman. Chapman wrote about a concept of how we all express and

Keremeos Village Council received a briefing from Regional District Okanagan Similka-meen’s Finance Of-ficer Sandy Croteau
regarding the vil-lage’s 2014 RDOS budget requisition at the regular council meeting on February 3.
A new line item to the Keremeos requistion this year is funding for the
Similkameen Valley Visitors Information Centre, operational costs that are shared jointly with Elec-toral Areas “G” and “B.” (Prior to this year’s budget, fund-ing for the centre came through the
grant in aid pro-cess).
Residents of the village will see in-creases in spending for the rec facility, the garbage dump and shared services accounting for the biggest increase in
tax revenue. Kere-meos’ total requisi-tion comes in this year at $302,936 which is $26,434 higher than last year.
The increase amounts to an average of $29 per
household.Croteau also not-
ed that assessment values in Keremeos were also down this year, more than in other parts of the region.
Council adopted changes to the
building bylaw, in addition to adopt-ing two fees and changes bylaws (for sewer and building infractions). The municipal ticket information bylaw

Electricity rates and billing explainedFrom understanding the residential conservation rate and interim rates, to questions about your electricity bill, we’re here to help.
Understanding interim rates
Each year we go through a rate setting process with the BC Utilities Commission. Interim rates are set before the process is completed and can change. If they do, your bill can be credited and adjusted accordingly.
The residential conservation rate explained
1 Based on average 2012 electricity use for customers in FortisBC’s South Interior service area. FortisBC uses the FortisBC name and logo under license from Fortis Inc. (13-372.4 1/2014)
This new, two level rate structure was designed to encourage you to save energy where possible. You’re billed at a lower rate (9.09 cents) for the first 1,600 kWh. Your use above this amount is then billed at a higher rate (13.54 cents). Under this new structure, about 71 per cent of our customers pay the same or less than they would under the previous flat rate structure. Learn more at fortisbc.com/electricityrates.

Sunday, February 9 saw several dozen members of the Kaleden community gather on the shoreline of Skaha Lake for an impromptu skating party.
Cold tempera-tures combined with calm days and nights last week resulted in Skaha Lake freezing over almost completely - an event that was apparently common enough in pioneer days, but has rarely happened in the past twenty years.
Shortly after noon on Sunday, several pickup trucks laden with hockey gear, food and camping gear made their way down to the Kaleden shore-line just south of
Sickle Point. Roughly a dozen of Kaleden’s youth
took to the ice with sticks, skates and pucks after clearing a rink in the sheltered ice of Sickle Point. Others took to the open ice of Skaha Lake itself, where skaters could glide for kilometres.
“My ankles are getting tired from all the skating,” admitted Jake Stocker of Kaleden, after leading several friends back from Banbury Point and beyond, midway

Jon Summerland of the Okanagan Film Commission discussed the past year’s activities with regional district directors on February 6.
Some of the biggest movies ever filmed in the Okanagan took place in 2014, Sum-merland told the board, with the prospect of 10 more major films planned for this year.
“A Coffin for Patrick Tate,” a major feature film is planned for a fall shoot at the Elkink ranch west of Osoyoos, Summer-land reported. The film will be shot at the western town built on the Elkink property in 2010 for the movie “Gunless.”
Summerland said the Okanagan Film Commission was working with Okanagan College to develop an animation program cirriculum.
“These are good jobs,” he said, “anima-tion is becoming a huge industry, the pay starts at $25,000 annually and averages $65,000.
“It’s a bit of a sweatshop, but it is a clean industry.”
Cathedral Park was among locations scouted by Summerland last year. A major
television show will be shot on location in the park in the near future.
Scouts visiting the region include agents from Disney, Warner, Legendary, Para-mount and Bright Light Pictures.
“A lot of people are saying nice things about us,” Summerland said adding the commission was trying to create a local “industry within the industry.” He noted an increasing incentive for movie producers to locate in the South Okanagan Similka-meen came from the 400 local crew now living in the region, from Oscar winners to volunteers.
“A number of animation studios have also located here,” he concluded, “movies are increasingly being made with an anima-tion component to them.
“It’s the way to go.”The Okanagan Film Commission re-
ceived a $24,000 grant from the Regional District Okangan Similkameen in 2013. Summerland did not make a specific re-quest during his presentation on Thursday.
Funding for the commission comes from the Regional Districts of the North Okanagan, Central Okanagan, Okanagan-Similkameen and the Boundary Economic Development Committee. Additional fund-ing is provided through the Province of British Columbia.
Film industry is developing, says Okanagan Film Commission

For centuries the only moon we could see details on was ours. The moons of other planets were dots or at most tiny discs, even through our largest
telescopes. We tried to guess what they were like using our Moon as an example. However, we did not consider something that is equally familiar to us, especially if we live by the ocean - the tides.
Our ideas were based on the idea that the only thing warming up the moons of the planets in our Solar System is sunlight. Therefore, as we get further from the Sun, we would expect moons to get colder and colder. Moons orbiting beyond the orbit of Mars would be cold enough for water to be perpetually frozen and just another rock mineral. Further out, gases would also become liquids. Finally, far out from the Sun, all gases other than per-haps helium would be solids. The moons orbiting far from the Sun would be dark, very cold, and devoid of any life forms we could visualize.
Then, in the 1970s we started send-ing space probes out through the Solar System to see the outer planets and their
moons close up, and got a lot of
surprises. Some of the moons turned out to be as expected, while others were definitely not.
Our Earth and Moon pull at each other. Since the gravitational attraction increases rapidly with decreasing distance, the Moon pulls at the oceans on the side of Earth facing it more strongly than it pulls at the Earth, so the ocean is pulled up into a bump, and the land up into a much smaller bump. It also pulls the Earth more strongly than the ocean on the other side, so the Earth is pulled away from that ocean leaving it to form a second bump. As the Earth rotates, we pass through one of those bumps every 12 hours. We see this as the ocean level rising and falling twice a day as the tides. This kneading of the Earth and oceans liberates heat, and is gradually slowing the Earth’s rotation. The Earth has done the same thing to the Moon, with the result that the Moon no longer rotates with respect to the Earth, and we see the same face of the Moon all the time.
The tidal situation is far more spectacu-lar for the moons of the giant planets. Io is the closest moon to Jupiter. Since it lies so far from the Sun, we would expect it to be frozen, but the tidal forces exerted on it by the giant planet kneads the moon so strongly that the heat released drives great volcanoes, spewing forth lakes of molten sulphur and other materials. Io is the most volcanic object in the Solar System. Europa, the next moon out, is less strongly heated. However, there is enough
heat to maintain under a thick layer of ice a deep, dark ocean. Some of this heat is likely to drive hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor, just like the ones on the beds of our deep oceans. Here on Earth those vents support com-munities of strange animals; this could also be the case on Europa, hence our great interest in that world. Ganymede and Callisto, although further from Jupiter, are still suspected to have oceans under their icy surfaces.
Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, has a smoggy atmosphere loaded with nitrogen and hydrocarbons, with hydrocarbon lakes and rivers on its surface. Enceladus, another of Saturn’s moons is suspected of being similar to Europa.
Titania and Oberon, two of the larger moons of Uranus, the next planet out from the Sun, are sus-pected to have liquid water inside them. Triton, the largest moon of Neptune, the eighth planet out from the Sun, has active volcanoes on its surface, ejecting material kilometres into space.
Two of the lessons to be learned from this are firstly, in putting to-gether theories we often do not pay enough attention to the obvious, and secondly, there is absolutely no substitute for going out there for a close look.
Venus rises about 5 a.m. Jupiter, second only to Venus in brightness, still dominates the sky for much of the night. Mars rises around 11p.m. and Saturn at 1a.m. The
Moon will be full on the 14th.Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the

BROADCASTING SICKNESS & H5N1 - H1N1
So what can we do? (Continued from last week)First of all, stop eating sugar. I know it’s hard to see the connection, but sugar drastically inhibits immune function. Web-MD says: “Eating or drinking too much sugar curbs immune system cells that attack bacteria. This effect lasts for at least a few hours after downing a couple of sugary drinks.” While this article mentions bacteria specifically, the same holds true for virus. The article goes on to mention foods that can have a healthful effect on immunity, including fresh garlic, which may help fight viruses and bacteria, and old-fashioned chicken soup. “If you do come down with a cold or the flu, a bowl of chicken soup can help you get well faster, one study shows. Some mushroom varieties -- such as reishi, maitake, and shiitake -- may also help your immune system.”Go back to basics. While there are always plenty of supplements on the shelves designed to help enhance immune func-tion, basics like vitamin A, zinc, bioflavonoids and high doses of vitamin C are always helpful, inexpensive and easy to take. One herbal supplement that I particularly love for flu prevention is Sambuguard, made with elderberry concentrate and extracts from other immune boosting herbs such as Echinacea. This can be mixed with hot water to make a tea that kids can sip on if they have trouble swallowing vitamins (there are two formulas – kids and adult blends). Remember not to give in to fear. What is harder on the human body than almost anything else? Stress. Stress hormones create inflammation, lower production of killer T-cells of macrophages, disrupts sleep (which inhibits immune response), and generally keeps you from being able to cope. So if the sniffles start, or your kids start complaining about sore throats, take some deep breaths and keep calm, rather than becoming worried about flu statistics. Part of this is making an in-formed choice about whether or not to have a flu shot and then not allowing others to bully you or make you feel guilty for your decision either way. The choice is yours to make and second guessing yourself is only going to send those aforementioned stress hormones through the roof!So tonight, try a pot of homemade chicken soup filled with garlic, pepper and onions. Make yourself a cup of tea and turn off the news. It’s a prescription for better health.Alexis’ Bio: Alexis Costello is a natural health practitioner specializing in applied kinesiology, Bach Flower Remedies, massage and herbology.

STILL SAVING LIVESIn 1952, polio killed over 47,000 people in the U.S. In 1955 the � rst polio vaccine became available for injection. It was discovered by Dr. Jonas Salk. It was used in massed inoculations and saved thousands of lives. The oral Sabin vaccine was available in 1957 and is still used today worldwide and still saving lives.
PHARMACISTS UNDERSTAND...Pharmacists learn much in school about how drugs work and how long it takes for a dose to “peak” in the body. This knowledge helps us to advise you on the best time to take the drug. For example, if you wake with arthritic stiffness in the morning, it can be better to take a dose of an anti-in� ammatory drug at night. We will let you know how to take your medication to get the best effect.
Caffeine is a chemical in many beverages that can adversely affect sleep. It takes about one and a half hours for the caffeine to peak in the body then takes from 3-7 hours for the caffeine to be excreted in the urine. People metabolize drugs at different rates so if you have sleep problems, don’t use any caffeine after 4 pm.
MALARIA VACCINE CLOSER TO REALITYMalaria kills almost 800,000 people world-wide each year. A malaria vaccine is becoming closer to reality. The vaccine was tested for 12 months in seven African nations and the results showed a 50% reduction in risk. This is a very signi� cant result which means the vaccine will soon be available everywhere.Immunization is one of the biggest advances in all of medical history. If you have any questions or concerns about this subject, our pharmacists are here to help.

through Sunday afternoon. The ice, for the most part was ex-
ceptional on Sunday, flat and relative-ly clear of snow. Except for a small patch of open water in the centre of the lake, well beyond the shoreline, Skaha Lake appeared to have reached a safe level of ice thickness for skat-ing. In some places in shallow water around Sickle Point, the ice was clear enough to see the lake bottom.
This year marks the first time in
roughly a decade that Skaha Lake has frozen solid. Pioneer accounts recall winters in the early part of the last century when it was a common event.
“In the winter of 1909-10 we had to go down to Okanagan Falls three times a week for our mail,” wrote W.H. Corbitt in The History of Kaleden, “the lake being frozen over, we could skate down most of the time.”
Winter allows rare opportunity / continued from page 10and receive love in one of Five Love Languages. As I studied it, I immedi-ately could see the reason my mom’s expression of love did not reach my heart. She was speaking a totally foreign language to me. A differ-ent Love Language. With this new knowledge, I could consciously speak my mother’s Love Language to her, which drastically healed our relation-ship.
As a writer and facilitator of workshops; “The Five Love Lan-
guages” Workshop has been the most often requested workshop that my husband and I do. We will be of-fering this workshop on a donation basis, which includes the testing to discover your “Love Language” on Sunday February 16 at 2334 Newton Rd in Cawston. (Cawston/Keremeos Seventh Day Adventist Church) It will start at 2 p.m. and end at 5 p.m. For more info, you can call Donna Marie Hockley at 250 462-7523, or to have a seat saved for you, please call Marjorie 250 499-0201.

amendment was also adopted.
Council discussed two separate notice of motion put for-ward by Councillor Arlow for submis-sion to the Union of BC Municipalities.
The first one re-quested the province
require motels, hotels and other accom-modation facilities to change their phone systems to all 911 accessibility from all rooms simply by dialing 911, as op-posed to having to dial an outside line first.
Council voted in favour of the mo-tion, by a three to two margin after some discussion.
Mayor Manfred Bauer attempted to point out to council that the motion did not have any scien-tific data to back up any claims that such
a request would fa-cilitate an emergency response.
“We would need to find a way to explain scientifically why this motion is needed, Bauer said, “Otherwise, based on my experience with these matters, I doubt very much it
would pass.” Bauer also ex-
pressed reservations about the extra cost such a request might have on lodgekeep-ers.
Councillors Ar-low, Thielmann and Evans disagreed, vot-ing in favour of the notice of motion.
The second mo-tion dealt with a re-quest to petition the province to remain on daylight saving time on a permanent basis. Council saw this as less of an issue, with Evans de-claring that he didn’t care one way or the other.
“You go to work in the dark, and come home in the dark,” he said. May-or Bauer suggested that there were prob-ably as many of the public for as there were against the motion, which ulti-mately went down in defeat.
