The Sterile Insect Release program may be coming to an end, but taxpayers could fund more future pest programs. That was the indication from grower Roger Baily in a fruit industry update to Vernon council this week. Councillor Bob Spiers has a problem with more taxpayer supported programs for the orchardists. He says he's not sure they should continue to subsidise the industry in this form. Bailey suggests the S-I-R could be a vehicle for many different kinds of environmentally friendly measures in the future.

O'keefe Finances
The O' Keefe Ranch may be on its way to riding out of its financial troubles. New ranch manager Catherine Lord updated city council on their rebuilding this week. Mayor Wayne Lippert says the historic site seems to have turned around with significant improvements and new events including the 'Cowboy Dinner Show.' Lippert has called this a 'make it or break it year' for the ranch which is subsidized to the tune of 260-thousand dollars this year.
