Not exactly sure what you and I can do?

Keep your distance.

I would suggest get out into the open – breath a bit.

Walk, run, swim, how about a paddle on a lake

Invite one family to spend some time with you this weekend.

I like to wash my hands once a day – not twenty times.

No one has died in Oliver or Osoyoos – your friendly government can not confirm this

Very few cases of Covid-19 recorded in the SO – all government refusing to tell us the truth.

A bit like Area 51 – how aliens do you have?

It is a Friday – time for a bit of mayhem.

Background:

In 2017, the RDOS conducted public consultation regarding the development of a compost site at
the Oliver Landfill. The proposed compost site would accept residential food waste from the Town
of Oliver, Town of Osoyoos, Electoral Area ‘A’ and ‘C’ and the Osoyoos Indian Band. The feasibility
studies, and preliminary designs showed that a properly designed and operated residential food
waste compost site would generate little odour. No public opposition was received.

Currently the Oliver Landfill is dealing with a large increase of yard and agricultural waste due to the closure of the nearby feedlot compost site. Without a compost site at the Oliver Landfill these
materials are being stockpiled creating operational issues and fire risk.

In order to construct an organics facility to properly manage the Organic Waste the Regional District applied for a Grant to construct a $1.2 Million Organics Facility within the Oliver Landfill. In November 2019, notification was received that the project had been approved for grant funding.

As a requirement in the Operational Certificate for the landfill, the 2010 Design, Operations, and
Closure Plan (DOCP) is due for review and update in 2020. Given the composting facility will directly impact the operations of the landfill, the two projects were merged to incorporate the design of the compost site while optimizing the DOCP.

Analysis:
4 companies produced a bid – but…

A team of Five employees from the Public works department reviewed each of the proposals
independently and then met to discuss their ranking and come to a consensus on which proponent
should be awarded the project. All members of the review team chose Sperling Hansen as their
preferred consultant during their independent reviews.

Sperling Hansen completed a thorough proposal, showed good understanding of the project

What He Did NOT Say

After the resurrection, when Jesus came to His disciples who were behind locked doors, there are things He could have berated them for. But He didn’t! Here are some examples of what He COULD HAVE SAID.

What are you doing here, you cowards!

I told you this would happen. Why didn’t you believe Me. After investing over 3 years of my life in you is this the result? Where were you when I needed you? You all promised to stick with Me no matter what. But you didn’t! I saw some of the women at the cross, but most of you were not there.

Peter, you’ve been the leader and you denied you even knew Me! You were scared of the servant girl. How could you? Have you learned nothing?

If He were to appear in your presence (or mine) right now, would He be able to say some similar things? What He DID say to them, and would say to us, is: “Peace be with you.” Be encouraged.

He still loves us.

Premier Horgan and Education Rob Fleming announced this today.

Many limited to many for memory to work

all students of essential works can continue on 5 day eduction

all K-5 students will be offered 1/2 day sessions

all 6-12 grade students will have 1 day a week of school based instructions

Parents must consent and desired to send students to school. It is NOT mandatory.

To make sure schools are safe for students and staff, the number of students in school each day will be reduced, with most receiving in-class instruction part time. School districts will determine scheduling for classes and transportation arrangements. For kindergarten to Grade 5, this means most students will go to school half time (such as alternating days), while grades 6 to 12 will go to school about one day a week. Children of essential service workers and students needing additional supports will have the option to attend school full time. Families that decide not to send their children to class may continue learning from home.

What is it?
