Jackpot weekend for Chopaka rodeo By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Photo by Steve Arstad
Rob Wilson storms out of chute five on “Ally Oops” at last Sunday’s 47th running of the Chopaka Jackpot rodeo. Wilson’s ride ended abruptly a few seconds later. The first springlike weekend of the season enticed hundreds to venture over to Chopaka to enjoy an afternoon of rodeo events. For more on the rodeo, please see pages 12 and 13.

The weather couldn’t have been more cooperative for the 47th Chopaka Easter Jackpot rodeo. With this year’s slow start to spring, the Easter weekend’s improving conditions made it ideal for several hundred rodeo enthusiasts who gathered at the Chopaka rodeo grounds on Sunday. There was a full slate of events this year, including team roping, saddle bronc, calf roping, and bull riding events at the beginning and end of the program. In between, barrel racing for all categories, and junior cow riding filled the afternoon schedule. Ironically, the most casual event proved to be the most dangerous the wild cow milking event resulted in at least two participants hobbling off the field. It was another year of winners in the stock department, as no participants were successful timing out in the saddle bronc and bull riding events. The bulls and broncs were supplied to the Chopaka rodeo by Wild West Entertainment (WWE) out of Kamloops. Following is a summary of this year’s rodeo results: Saddle bronc - no qualified rides, stock contractor Dale Dejonckheere won the buckle, awarding it to Tracy Sharpe Bull riding - again no qualified rides, stock contractor Dale Dejocnkheere won the buckle.

After several weeks of light activity, the Keremeos Volunteer Fire Department was suddenly busy over the long weekend. A sudden change in the weather to spring like conditions contributed to a number of wild fires, including this one, which flared up Monday afternoon on the river near Pine Park. In spite of last month’s poor weather, ground conditions are drying out quickly and residents are asked to be careful with fire.
Committee approves changes to curbside garbage program Board to approve modifications at April 19 meeting By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The regional district Environment and Infrastructure Committee approved some changes to the Curbside Garbage and Recycling Services program at the April 5 meeting of the committee. The main changes dealt with by the committee involved yard waste. The curbside program will phase out yard waste collection in plastic bags and increase or decrease yard waste pick up in certain areas. Rural Oliver Director Allan Patton asked if kitchen waste could be collected economically in “islands,” to which Solid Waste Facilities Coordinator Don Hamilton replied that it was “not currently worth looking at.” It was also asked if a grace period would apply to plastic bags with yard waste after July 1. Hamilton answered that he was hoping to initiate the program early, noting that Penticton allowed some initial contamination when they stopped allowing plastic
bags to be used. The recommended service levels for the one year period from July of 2012 to June 2013 are as follows: For all rural service areas and the Village of Keremeos: - two containers (bags or cans) garbage collected every week - every other week unlimited collection of recycling - once per year large item collection of two items - no collection of yard waste in plastic bags starting in July 2012 There is no change to existing garbage, recycling or large item collections. The banning of plastic bags for yard waste collection would commence in July 2012. This allows for the collection of all yard and garden materials already placed in clear plastic bags. For Electoral Areas “D”, “E”, “F” and the Village of Keremeos - every other week unlimited collection of yard and garden waste from March until November starting July 2012 to June 2013 By increasing the collection frequency from nine times per year to 19, the RDOS hopes to provide better
service and reduce organics entering the landfill via garbage bags. This will also allow for efficient use of reusable containers for yard waste, such as well marked garbage cans. For Electoral Areas “A”, “B”, “C”, and “G”: - Six yard waste collection events from July 2012 to June 2013 Historically these areas generate a minimal amount of yard waste. Increased collections from six per year to nine per year did not noticeably increase the amount of yard waste collected. A portion of the money saved from reducing the number of collections will go towards more frequent advertising before yard waste collection events in these areas. The RDOS projects user fees for Keremeos to be $135 dollars per year. Electoral areas are expected to pay the following fees: Area “B” - $165 per year. Area “D” - $130 to $160 per year. Area “G” - $170 per year. All necessary amendments to the fees and charges bylaw will be brought forward at the April 19 board meeting.

Local politicians hold forum at Keremeos Seniors Centre By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The Seniors Centre played host to local politicians at the senior society’s monthly meeting on April 4. Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer, Regional Hospital District Chair Janice Perrino, and Electoral Area Directors for “G” and “B” Angelique Woods and George Bush were on hand to discuss health and local issues with the society. District Hospital Chair Perrino talked about the current state of affairs in health care, warning of the possibility of strike action in a couple of sectors, including nursing, before moving on to bring the members up to date on the status of Penticton Regional Hospital. “The public buys much of the equipment needed at the hospital,” she said, further stating that the hospital was in very good shape as a result of the region’s largesse. Perrino described the latest equipment acquisition, the portable intensive care unit known as HART, as being fully funded ($180,000) through the donations of volunteers. A plan to expand Penticton Regional Hospital to three times its present size will be put before the province for approval this fall, Perrino said, wraning the approximately 35 members of the audience that petition signing might be necessary to sway the province. She congratulated the Hedley, Keremeos and Cawston area for resident donations totalling $600,000 in the past five years towards hospital improvements. Mayor Bauer advised that there would be no farmworkers campground this year. In discussions with Corporal Gallagher of the Keremeos RCMP detachment, Bauer said that he hoped the RCMP would be able to provide bicycle patrols in the village’s two parks. Bauer also noted the recent closure of WorkZone, describing the contracted replacement services of the YMCA, and expressing the need for full service employ-
ment services in the Lower Similkameen. Bauer also described the Similkameen Valley Planning Society’s plans for a Watershed study and the SVPS Tourism Advisory Council’s desire to make the Similkameen Valley a “household name” as a destination tourist area, saying that the valley has enough attractions to entice people to spend time here. Members of the audience had questions that concerned such issues as grass fire hazards on First Nation lands, alternate plans for transient farmworkers, and the problems that continue to surround recent safety improvements to the intersection of Seventh Avenue and Seventh Street. Society members advocated increased participation in COPS (Citizens on Patrol) with one audience member recommending that council Photo by Steve Arstad members tag along on a COPS patrol. Several members commented on the changes to the Seventh and Seventh improvements, most Regional District Hospital Board Chair Janice Perrino spoke to of them negative.

Agricultural group requests RDOS compostable material, funding By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com A delegation consisting of Dr. W.J. McPhee, Project Field Manager, Tree Fruit Pathologist, and Oliver orchardist Greg Norton spoke to the Environment and Infrastructure Committee of the regional district on April 5. The delegation wished to discuss the topic of compost utilization for treatment of crop roots. They also sought funding in the amount of $15,000 in order to continue their studies. Norton told the committee that his group of eight growers had acquired volumes of data about composting, The delegation’s approach to the board also included a request for policy or support to redirect organic waste from the landfill to agricultural use. “We’re looking for security in supply,� Norton adding, “this material is combustable and is better off (landfill) site.� Norton made a distinction between organic and bio waste, recognizing the value of both but noting that contamination issues with bio waste made it difficult to compost. Dr. McPhee explained the group’s program to the board, outlining two aspects of it: - composting, supply and efficacy. - an agricultural segment dealing with replant and decline of the plant. “We have found that compost has a significant impact on the roots and overall health of plants,� McPhee explained. McPhee added that there were problems with
the compost supply chain that made it difficult for agriculture to get compost from yard and wood waste contained in landfills. “How to ‘drag’ compost through to agriculture. That’s why we’re here,� McPhee said. The group’s studies concluded that the biggest problem in the local fruit industry is not feeding the tree roots. They concluded that there could be significant increase in local production through better root management. “We can stimulate roots with phosphorus, but it’s not sustainable because of the introduction of pathogens and nematodes,� McPhee said. “By using compost, we can rid ourselves of commercial fertilizers.� “We want compost to become part of the culture of growing grapes and other agricultural products in the valley,� added Norton. McPhee added that adding bio waste limited compost use, making standardization in the process of compost making essential. Penticton Director Gary Litke responded that the board was currently dealing with other issues related to compost at present. RDOS Solid Waste Facilities Coordinator Don Hamilton said that there was 10,000 metric tonnes of wood and yard waste at the landfill with no commitment for use as yet, adding that it was material that was traditionally hard to get rid of. The board discussed the appropriateness of dedicating this component of waste to the agricultural industry before agreeing to refer the matter to administration to explore further, prior to bringing it back to the board.
Village to conduct resident survey Council agrees to two year contract with bylaw enforcement officer By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Keremeos Village Council agreed to proclaim the week of May 20 - 26 Local Government Awareness Week and National Public Works Week at the regular meeting of council on April 2. Council also received a letter from Brian Dunn requesting permission to place five windbreaks on the village promenade. Dunn also asked for assistance from the public works department to erect the windbreaks, each of which would consist of a prefabricated fence panel. Council approved the installation of the pan-
els, along with assistance from public works. Council also agreed to receive the regional trails master plan for information purposes. The village agreed to a two year contract with bylaw enforcement officer Kevin Aschhoff. The contract includes an increase in hourly rate that includes the consumer price index inflation increase for 2013, bringing the hourly rate up to $27.62 an hour from $27. The village will be conducting a resident survey this year. Villagers will be asked about the quality of life in the village, service satisfaction with village staff and other questions pertaining to demographics and voting habits. A zoning amendment was given first and second readings by council. The amendment would create a new P3 utilities zone for two village owned properties. The amendment was needed as the two village properties are not in conformance with the present zoning.

Editorial Similkameen sacrificed in employment services new model
Employment services to the Lower Similkameen have been devastated by the introduction of the province’s new employment services model, which has replaced WorkZone in Kerermeos. Robert Bryce, regional manager for the YMCA and current prime contractor for employment services to the Penticton catchment area, spoke to the regional district board last week to respond to a letter written by Keremeos Director Manfred Bauer regarding the issue. Similkameen politicians feel that there has been no public input regarding the significant changes to service in the valley, and have been unable to access those accountable. The Balkanization of the Lower Similkameen - in terms of employment services at least - apparently came about when a Ministry for Social Development bureaucrat placed Cawston in the Osoyoos catchment area. The outright foolishness of this decision has frustrated Similkameen politicians, who understand the employment landscape of the valley. Up until the board meeting, no one knew who was accountable for the move. Bryce also noted that, in the YMCA bid for the contract, they had never proposed a storefront location for Keremeos - with the province accepting that bid, without question, apparently. It appears to us that the present program in the Lower Similkameen was assembled with a total lack of knowledge and a complete disregard for the needs of the area. Mr. Bryce and the province need to re-examine this aspect of the program immediately - preferably with some local input. We would be interested in seeing what the profit margins are going to be for the YMCA for their program in the Similkameen under the current setup. The three Lower Similkameen directors were united in their disatisfaction with the way this process took place. Based on what Bryce told the board last Thursday, they had every right to be. Keremeos and the Lower Similkameen have been treated as an afterthought - sacrificial pawns - by both the province and the contractor as far as the reasonable delivery of employment services go.

Cities protest surprise RCMP pay hikes By Jeff Nagel Black Press B.C. cities say they’ve been blindsided by surprise RCMP pay raises that the federal government enabled just as it was signing a new policing contract that was supposed to usher in a new era of trust and cost control. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender has sent a letter on behalf of the Union of B.C. Municipalities to Public Safety Minister Vic Toews expressing “our complete shock and surprise” over the undisclosed pay lifts, which he warned will create “significant backlash” from councils and taxpayers. Fassbender, the UBCM rep in the recent contract talks, said cities don’t yet know how much more money – if any – they will have to carve out of their budgets to fund the higher
RCMP payroll. Justice Minister Shirley Bond said she has been assured by Ottawa administrative savings totaling $195 million will partly flow to cities and could entirely offset the pay raises, and possibly even lower their costs. But Bond is seeking more details. “I am deeply concerned about any potential impacts on our municipalities and that this information came as a surprise,” she said. Toews has said cities were advised months ago that raises on the order of 1.5 per cent were possible this year but neither the province nor cities were formally notified of the details of the compensation package. Fassbender said even if the pay hikes end up cost-neutral or better for cities, the lack of communication and consultation is deeply troubling, as is the tim-
ing. “You just can’t plan this way,” he said. The province signed a new 20-year RCMP contract on March 21 – ending its threat to terminate the Mounties and form a new provincial police force – after securing extensive promises of more say for cities on spending decisions. Several cities have already ratified the new contract, including Surrey, Kelowna and the Township of Langley. Fassbender said cities that don’t sign by the deadline effectively give two years’ notice of withdrawal from the RCMP and commit to forming their own police forces or partnering with existing municipal forces. “I’m still going to urge our council to sign the new contract,” Fassbender said. The new contract creates a UBCM-led committee with 10 civic
reps who are promised much more hands-on control of spending changes, instead of just an advisory role. Cities that sign the RCMP deal can still opt out at any time on two years notice, and a review of the contract is promised every five years.

Recalling the late, great W.X. Perkins To the Editor: I have written about W.X. Perkins before, but a man such as he was should never be forgotten. I do not know his younger history, but in the very early days he was the magistrate in the old ghost town of Phoenix, which was located on top of the mountain above Greenwood, a town of about 3,500. From there when Phoenix was winding up its mining years, Mr. Perkins moved to Grand Forks and started a garage. As time went on Mr. Perkins was going to start a chain of garages and he started one in Penticton just on the full block behind the Bank of Montreal. In my early years in Penticton, in 1944 I went to work for Mr. Perkins. Now to describe him he was a man who had no equal. Times became hard, but when there was nothing to do in his garage, he never laid a man off. The first Christmas I was there he came around and gave me a big cheque with a handshake and a smile. I went into the office and told Archie Feid, “Perk made a mistake. He paid me away too much.” Archie said, “That’s not your cheque, it’s your Christmas bonus.” In those days that was unheard of, and so was the two weeks pay he gave me for a holiday). At times we had nothing to do for a month or so, and he got us painting the whole interior of that garage. I was so embarassed at that I took time off for a month and went up the street and worked for Walter George’s jewellery store, fixing clocks. When I went back to “Perk” my job was there. One of Perks men was seriously injured when a tractor fell on him. Perk put him
to work in the office for the rest of his life. Another young married man Perk told me he would have to let him go as he had nothing for him to do. He had a wife and child. Well, in that polio epidemic the man became partially paralyzed. Perk came to me and said, “Don’t you tell him that I was going to let him go. He is staying on.” That was Perk. I worked for him until 1960 and then, in order to carry on my trade as a transmission specialist (the only automatic transmission specialist in the interior of B.C.) I left Perk’s and went to an ultra modern garage which was on Front Street in those days. But believe me, I never forgot “Old Perk” as he was known. The finest man I have ever known, and he should never be forgotten. I wound up owning my own garage in Keremeos for over nine years. I can write papers on about six different trades, I am a musician and artist of native and my own history and am now in my ‘90’s. Thought you may like this bit of history. The girl I came to B.C. to marry was my cousin, so I married her good friend Annie Miller (no relation) and when she passed away after 64 years I married my cousin, Audrey Joy and here I am still in Keremeos, still gardening, etc. I was engine crew on steam trains at Brookmere for a year and I also have flown an aircraft. I started out driving horses in the 1920’s and I still drive a car and have never had a car accident. As ever, Wilf Miller, Keremeos
More information available regarding pet neutering To the Editor: After reading the letter published two weeks ago in the Review regarding cat population I became concerned about the prices quoted for spaying and neutering cats. I decided to check this out - from my inquiries the following information emerged - of the seven veterinary clinics that I surveyed, the price for a cat neuter ranged from $95 to $223, cat spay from $129 - $289, so it becomes obvious that unless you have a favourite veterinarian
it really pays to “shop around.” Some clinics requre vaccinations in advance, other recommend it but do not insist, so that can increase your fees by $48 to $59 - for the basic vaccinations only. Be sure to ask if the price includes everything required for surgery. As previously mentioned in the letter to the editor, the Humane Society can be of financial assistance for low income families. I can be reached at 250-499-7748 for further information re: this programme - Shirley Wieland (AMT), Animal Health Technician. Keremeos

BC voters must plan now to give third party power balance To the Editor. B.C. voters will soon be asked to perform the impossible task of getting rid of an arrogant and dysfunctional Liberal government, without opening the doors to the BC NDP, and see them form the next government. Our outdated First-past-the-post (FPTP) electoral system has consistently produced a very polarized two-party system that has had a devastating impact on our province. It produces radical swings in policy every time the opposition party forms the government. And two thirds of the voters are usually left at
the mercy of the one third who forms yet another minority government miraculously holding the majority of the seats in the legislature. Until such time that we are fortunate enough to have proportional representation, the best we can hope for is a third party to straddle the centerline of the political spectrum that will temper the more radical elements in both parties. Today the BC Conservatives have one member in the legislature and with considerable support in the polls and two by-elections in process there may be a ray of hope. The BC Conservative party insists their MLA’s will be obligated to comply with our Constitution and vote the conscience of the constituents. That is a radical and long overdue departure from the style of governments we have today, where party leaders have become virtual dictators. The provincial Conservatives are organizing throughout the province, and if we want the stability that will come with a third party holding the balance of power, we have to get involved with the BC Conservative candidates and help them get elected.

Dry Streak fills Cawston Hall Contributed If the rolling laughter that continued throughout the play, Dry Streak by Leeann Minogue, is an indication of success then the Cawston Players certainly were able to feel proud of the play that they performed over three nights at the Cawston Hall. Saturday’s March 31 performance played to a sold out house and the Friday, March 30 and Sunday, April 01 evenings were almost completely full. Total audience for the three nights was 320. Producers and Directors Amanda Elyzen and Bob McAtamney wanted to create a unique theatre experience for their audience. People entering the hall were greeted with the front entrance decorated in a farming motif and inside the hall local musician, Rob Robertson, was performing and two local wineries, Robin Ridge and Eau Vivre, were serving wine. Plus there was food and refreshments available. The amazing artistic talent of Yako de Arburn brilliantly created the prairie landscape and the house and bar scenes with set construction by John Hutchinson. When the performance commenced it was obvious that the talented actors were able to do justice to the play and carried their audience along for a rollicking theatrical journey, punctuated by moments of seriousness. The final ending, the Naked Run, capped off a wonderful ending to a great evening. If theatre is designed to take people into a world of imagination and magic then this play certainly succeeded on that level. Twenty-seven people and two months of rehearsal brought this production to life. The Cawston Players would like to express their thanks to everyone involved in making this production such a success.

SIR program update
Access to the KVR through Kaleden recently opened up. The private landowner who cut off trail access at the beginning of the year was recently encouraged in talks with the province over a possible land swap in exchange for a permanent route through the property.
By Steve Arstad The Review Representatives of the Okanagan Kootenay Sterile Insect Release Program addressed the regional district Environment and Infrastructure Committee on April 5 to provide them with general information about the current state of the sterile insect program. Duane Ophus, SIR board chair, told the board that the SIR program, now 20 years old was divided into three zones in the Okanagan. Based on information gleaned from sales records of pesticide purchases, the program has reduced pesticide use from 18,000 kilograms in 1996 to 1,200 kilograms in 2010, resulting in a drop in costs for growers in pesticide purchase from $315 per acre in 1996 to $55 in 2010. Ophus listed several impacts of the program: - reduced pesticide use. - created a structure for delivery of area wide pest management services. - created an enforcement program . - created opportunities for biological controls. - improved market opportunities for pome fruit and cherries. - improved detection and response to invasive alien species. Several directors expressd their support for the program. Oliver Director Ron Hovanes recalled his father spraying the orchard every 10 days and still having issues with the coddling moth. He also observed that few residents complained of the cost of the program. The delegation appreciated the board’s support, promising to keep them informed of any changes.

Similkameen directors unhappy with employment services program Changes to program decimates service in Keremeos By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Robert Bryce, regional manager for the YMCA, addressed the regional district board to explain changes to employment services programs in the area at the April 5 regular board meeting. Bryce was also at the board meeting at the request of Keremeos Director Manfred Bauer, who wrote a letter to Bryce on behalf of Keremeos council. The village was expressing dissatisfaction with the downgrading of employment services to the Lower Similkameen as a result of the closure of WorkZone in Keremeos and subsequent rearrangement of employment services by the province. Bryce began by explaining that funding changes to the Penticton catchment area - which includes Summerland, Penticton, Keremeos and Princeton - began in 2008. The YMCA, along with other parties, bid on the program for the Penticton area in 2011. Referring to Bauer’s letter, Bryce noted that it was the province who decided that Cawston would be part of the Osoyoos catchment area, a decision that has rankled many in the Lower Similkameen. Bryce explained that the new model for employment services is based on one used under the old federal “Manpower” program. The model to be used by YMCA will be a “one stop shop” where most employment services would be available under one roof. The YMCA opened the doors of their Penticton facility on April 2 at 50 Calgary Avenue. With 20 staff, the building also houses sub contractors to the YMCA. A scaled down version of the Penticton centre also opened up in Summerland. “In our model for Keremeos, we proposed closure of the full storefront, as WorkZone was,” Bryce said of YMCA’s plans for the village. “We are delivering services there through different channels - itinerant, mobile, outreach and - be careful of the wording here - we do have a physical location there, but not a storefront per say.” Bryce went on to say that programming in Keremeos would be available for any client that was “determined eligible for case management.” Carolyn Kidd, from On Your Mark employment services will be contracting out employment services programming for YMCA in Keremeos. Bryce also noted that models for client numbers in their catchment areas were
assembled during the recessionary year of 2008, saying that numbers had been adjusted to better fit the economic conditions of 2012. Bryce told the board that the YMCA was not new to the task of providing employment Photo by Steve Arstad services, having operated programs such as Penticton’s Jump Start WIth the closure of WorkZone, the Lower Similkameen is - a contact centre for left without storefront employment services. youth - during the past 15 years. come down.

MANAGING Your Money
Taxes and investing – TFSAs, RRSPs, and nonregistered investments. What to choose? Not that long ago, you had two basic choices when it came to investing your retirement savings: non-registered investments or RRSP eligible investments. But now, Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) have been added to the mix and you may be wondering which of these investment options you should contribute to. The key differences are with taxes and the timing of taxes. Each option has its own tax implications so it’s important to understand how your
government benefits) before you retire and what you expect it to be after you retire. If it looks to be lower, contributing to RRSP eligible investments or investing in non-registered investments may be more beneficial. If it looks to be equal or higher than your pre-retirement tax bracket, a TFSA may be more-tax-efficient. Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. There are a multitude of variables that must be taken into consideration, especially your unique circumstances and your short and long-term objectives. Your professional advisor can help you discover what’s best for you.

SIFE trunk sale at Okanagan College Contributed Student’s in Free Enterprise (SIFE) Okanagan and the Regional District Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) are hosting a one day only “Trunk Sale” on Saturday, April 28. The event will take place at Okanagan College in Penticton from 8 a.m. to noon. A trunk sale allows local residents to sell unwanted items out the back of their car or truck. These giant yard sales, called “car boot sales” in England and Australia, are becoming increasingly popular across North America. The event will feature information on where to take unwanted items for safe disposal and recycling. Everyone is asked to bring donations for the food bank as part of SIFE’s “Campbell’s Let’s Can Hunger”. Ryan Ruybal is going into second year business at Okanagan College and is a coordinator of the event. For him a Trunk Sale
is a great SIFE event. “SIFE seeks projects that promote good business practices while helping the community,” explains Ruybal. “We are excited to help start this event in Penticton. It will clean up homes, promote reuse of valuable materials and provide a way for people to make a little money. We hope to work with the RDOS to make this an annual event.” To register your vehicle for a spot please contact the RDOS at trunksale@rdos.bc.ca, call 250490-4129 or call toll free in BC 1-877-610-3737. For more info visit www.rdos.bc.ca and click on ‘Trunk Sale’ on the left hand side. Vendor spaces will be limited so please register early. SIFE will have tables and chairs available for vendors for donations to the food bank. Okanagan College is located off the Channel Parkway at 583 Duncan Avenue West in Penticton.
Atamanenko slams Katimavik cut as “un-Canadian” Axing of program is act of political vengeance By BC Soutern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko BC Southern Interior Member of Parliament Alex Atamanenko is outraged at the Conservative decision to cut Katimavik. “This is purely a political decision. Just because the Liberals started this program, Conservative ideology believes that it must go,” stated the NDP MP. “I have personally witnessed the good work that these young Canadians do in helping our communities and have seen the positive interaction that takes place between them. This is truly a grassroots way to build national unity. Cutting the program is, in my opinion, unCanadian!” Katimavik began in 1977 with
the purpose of educating youth and fostering lifelong civic engagement through community service. Through various changes to the program, it has continued to adapt to changing society while staying true to its mission. According to their most recent annual report, from 2010-2011, “600 Katimavik volunteers worked 81,770 hours in 64 Canadian communities and served more than 500 community work partners. They created value to the tune of an estimated $10.8 million.” “The Conservatives will have deprived federal coffers of 220 billion dollars in revenue between 2006 and 2014 because of corporate tax cuts and now they want to try and balance the books by cutting such worthwhile programs as Katimavik. This makes no sense whatsoever,” concluded Atamanenko.

Meadowlark Nature Festival celebrates 15th anniversary event Contributed From May 17 to May 21 immerse yourself in the unique natural diversity of the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys. The Meadowlark Nature Festival was once again voted the “Best Annual Community Event in the South Okanagan” by readers of Okanagan Life Magazine, a sign that eco-tourism is alive and well in the southern interior. The festival offers over 90 environmental tours and events held under the open sky, which will take people from Canada’s unique desert to the alpine meadows high above the Okanagan Lake. Indigenous cultural tours, horseback rides, canoe trips, guided walks, bird watching tours, geology and history tours, art exhibits, hands-on presentations on astronomy, nature photography, sustainable green buildings and more, are all designed to be fun and informative for people of all ages and abilities. What started as a small environmental festival 14 years ago has evolved into one of Canada’s premier outdoor celebrations of nature. People from across North America and as far away as Europe now come for the tours, lectures, workshops and other activities led by prominent naturalists, educators, artists and scientists. The Meadowlark Nature Festival is organized by the Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Alliance (OSCA) to encourage people of all ages to experience, discover and explore their natu-
ral environment. The Okanagan-Similkameen hosts a rare mosaic of natural habitats; among them is one of Canada’s most endangered ecosystems - the hot, dry shrub-grasslands. A springtime look at these shrub-grasslands, known as Canada’s “pocket desert,” reveals a riot of colour flourishing in this seemingly harsh environment. This popular five day festival especially celebrates and showcases the unique wildlife and habitats found in the Okanagan and Similkameen valleys. Many distinct types of wildlife habitat are home to some of the most diverse and rare assemblages of plant and animal species in the country. Walk-in ticket sales for the 92 events begin Saturday, April 14, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.(doors open at 10a.m.) at Suite 203, 246 Martin Street, Penticton. Tickets will be available online at www.meadowlarkfestival.bc.ca beginning the same day at 2 p.m. Visit the website for further details about all tours and events. Get in touch with nature. For further media information, please contact Anita Dunford at (250) 492-5275 or email meadowlarkfestival@osca.org

Early detection of solar storms is a science worth pursuing
Over the last few weeks a lot of media attention has been paid to “solar storms” and their possible consequences for us. We also know that as solar activity rises towards the next solar maximum, such events will become more frequent. What are being described as “solar storms” are really events called “coronal mass ejections” or “CME’s”. What are they and why do they worry us? Inside the Sun, the flows of solar material generate strong magnet-
ic fields. These erupt through the surface and become visible as sunspots, regions of magnetic activity, and loops. Imagine that one of these has just emerged, and is growing. It consists of a magnetic field loaded with million-degree, ionized gas, or plasma. More magnetic flux emerges and the loop gets bigger, eventually reaching a height of hundreds of thousands of kilometres above the solar surface. As it grows, it gets more floppy, and distorted by hitting other loops and increasingly buffeted by the solar wind. In addition, movement and twisting of its foot points also distort the loop. These distortions cause energy to be stored in the loop and it becomes increasingly stressed. As the stress increases,
it is easier for something small to trigger a catastrophic failure. Eventually it happens: the loop snaps from its foot points and most of it, typically about 1.5 billion tonnes of very hot gas and magnetic fields are catapulted into space at a speed ranging from 500 to 3,000 kilometres a second. There is a point 1.5 million kilometres sunward from Earth, where the gravitational fields of the Sun and Earth combine to form a stable place were we can park satellites permanently. This location, called a Lagrange Point, therefore is a good place to keep a continuous eye on the Sun, so that is where we put our key solar monitoring spacecraft. We can see the CME lift off from the Sun, and get an idea as to whether it is heading for us.
Then it vanishes. Depending on its speed it takes between one and three days to cover the 150 million kilometres between the Sun and Earth. During that period we know it’s coming, but not exactly when it will arrive. Because we need to prepare, it would be nice to know exactly when it will hit us. However, with the CME being invisible for almost its entire trip to Earth, that is currently very difficult. We n e x t d e t e c t the CME when it hits the satellites at the Lagrange Point. Depending upon the speed of the CME, we have between 10 and 30 minutes notice before it hits us. The consequence is a magnetic storm. These can cause power outages and other problems with our infrastructure. High-energy particles are funnelled
down into the Polar Regions, triggering auroral displays and possible radiation hazards for air travellers on polar routes. We need to know the arrival time more accurately, and with more advance notice than a few minutes. Big efforts are being made to improve our ability to track CME’s over the part of their trip to us where we cannot see them. Both ground-based and space-based options are being looked at. Venus and Jupiter are conspicuous in the west after sunset, although Jupiter is getting lower in the sky. Mars is high in the Southeast; Saturn rises about 8 p.m. The Moon will reach last quarter on the 13th.

health LIVING GLUTEN FREE ON A BUDGET By Cathy Lauer - PART II How to stay on a gluten free diet without breaking the bank Many regular grocery stores also offer a club card that allows you to save money on individual items or to collect points which can be redeemed for store gift certificates. One of my favourite stores allows me to choose a daily special. I can buy up to four of the item of my choice at a reduced price. My favourite item to buy is yeast as I can get more than $2.00 off each jar. That really helps reduce the cost of homemade baking. If you are unsure of where to shop or what to buy try taking a store tour. Many stores now offer store tours directed by a knowledgeable person who either works at the store or has a great knowledge of a special diet. If you are lucky enough to live in Victoria you will find many grocery stores, markets and health food stores who offer gluten free tours. These are of great help to the newly diagnosed who are overwhelmed with the prospect of trying to navigate the aisles alone. Contact your local Canadian Celiac Association chapter to find out what they know about store tours. They are often the ones delivering the gluten free tour. Speaking of sales, most health food stores have a health club or even a gluten free club you can join. My health food store offers 20% off on the last Wednesday of every month or a special sale day. I like to stock up on pasta, pretzels and specialty flours that I use to add fibre or nutrition to baking. Some stores offer a special discount to gluten free shoppers after you buy a certain number of gluten free items. Check with your favourite health food store to find out what they have to offer. My favourite saying is “shop the perimeter of the store”. Most stores are set up with the meat, fruits and vegetables and deli on the outside walls of the store. It is the aisles in the center of the store that contain the name brand and usually off limit foods. Since we should try to eat as much fresh, real food as possible the perimeter really is the most sensible and economical place to shop. That’s not to say I never venture into the middle aisles because naturally I do have to if I need noodles or items down the baking aisle. There are aisles however that j I just never go down as they either have nothing gluten free, the gluten free stuff they have is just too darned expensive, or really doesn’t taste good. As always be sure to read the label. It isn’t a bargain if you get it home only to find out it really isn’t gluten free, has other ingredients in it which you cannot have, or chemical ingredients you don’t want. Labels are getting so much better and the more you know about ingredients the better able you will be to spot the safe products and avoid the unsafe ones. As with most new ventures, being budget conscious on a gluten free diet may take some time to master. With a little practice and support from knowledgeable friends and fellow celiacs you too can become a healthy gluten free shopper without blowing the budget. Why not use the savings to buy yourself a treat! That’s important too! Cathy’s Bio: Cathy Lauer has been cooking/baking gluten/dairy free for 17 years. She has written 3 all baking cookbooks and has a gluten free baking blog/store. 250-758-5232 www.cathysglutenfree.ca/This article is of the copyright of OK in Health and the author; any reproduction, duplication and transmission of the article are to have prior written approval by OK in Health or the author.

CANADIAN WOMEN GIVING BIRTH LATER
The average age of a Canadian woman giving birth to her first born child has gone up significantly over the generations. In 2008, this average age was 29.3. This age in the U.S. is 24.9.
SKIN CARE AND BONE HEALTH
It may be simplistic to relate a woman’s skin condition with her bone health, but that’s exactly what researchers found. Women with more face and neck wrinkles seem to have lower bone density in the hip, heel and lower back areas. It’s another reason to take care of our skin during the sunny days of summer coming soon.
SPRING-CLEANING MEDICINE CHECK
Now that spring is here, it is a good time to check the medicine cabinet for old, out-dated medications. Also ensure the medication storage area is totally out of reach of curious children. Medications can be harmful to children. Ensure drug safety in your home.
CANADIANS LIVING LONGER
Canadians are living longer than ever before. Early diagnosis and treatment of diseases is part of the reason for this. And the older we get, the more medications we seem to take. It’s important to take your medication as your doctor directs. If you need help organizing your medications, our pharmacists can help. Our pharmacists dispense more than just medication. We dispense information. Use our pharmacists to further your education about the medications you are taking.

RDOS briefs Regional snapshot report The regional growth strategy “snapshot” report for 2010 was presented to the regional district board of directors at the April 5 regular board meeting. The report is part of a mandatory program designed to monitor the progress of a regional growth strategy. It measured 10 growth indicators that are tracked annually. The indicators are: - population growth - agriculture - biodiversity and natural species - affordable housing - energy use - water management - municipal solid waste - social, cultural and the arts - total length of trails - public funding for the arts
Westbench Director Michael Brydon asked regional district staff Donna Butler and Evelyn Richert if other indicator items, such as median income and average age could be added. Richert replied that the report could be reviewed every five years and updated using the latest census information. Oliver rural Director Allan Patton complimented staff on a “readable document with an attractive layout.” He suggested indicators such as agricultural land exemptions from the ALR and their conversion to other uses and housing prices as other possible indicators. He also noted that no mention was made of agricultural water use. Notice of motion over national park Osoyoos Director Stu Wells presented the board with a notice of motion to ask the province to re-engage in formal discussion with the government of Canada in a national park study for the Okanagan - Siimilkameen. The motion would also request that the RDOS be briefed on the feasibility study that was never made public, and that the RDOS be briefed during and at the completion of the formal talks regarding the national park. The motion is intended to come forward at the next
regional district board meeting. Kal Rec appointments The regional district board appointed the following people to the Kaleden Parks and Recreation Commission: - Gail Owen, Chair, until Mar. 31, 2014 - Paul Chahil, Treasurer, until Mar.31, 2014 - Gary Brooks, Parks, until Mar.31, 2013 - John Haygarth, Hall Rental, until Mar. 31, 2013 - Bruce Sheperd, Member, until Mar.31, 2013 Work on Area “G” bylaw halted The RDOS board removed the preparation of an agricultural zone from Area “G” after work on a draft amendment to the Area “G” zoning bylaw was begun by previous director Elef Christensen in 2010. The amendment would have limited the number of accessory dwelling units on parcels of land within the Agricultural Land Reserve. After a public meeting in October of 2010, work on the bylaw was brought to a halt by Christensen. More recently, current director for Area “G” Angelique Wood advised RDOS staff that she did not intend to proceed with the draft amendment bylaw.

The what, why and how of the World Food Programme New post on Tony’s Big Adventure Contributed by W. Dawson Tony took over from Toshi on March 23 – he’s even taking over Toshi’s room – it has more light. Tony is pleased to have his help. “We can walk to the office which is absolutely beautiful, through a park and along a residential street most pleasant. The building I’d love to live in – white, lots of space, wood windows, wooden cabinets in the kitchen, spacious, with a view over the green countryside and surrounded by trees and a garden. There are flowering trees here – blues and oranges – and I can see Mount Meru from the office window.” The first day Tony was at the office was spent reviewing info about the WFP. He says, “The WFP is really high finance to me and busy, busy with analysis of just about every move they make. There are ad-
ministrators and logisticians and data processors and and... I’m trying to grasp the how and the why of the WFP – (while) working at who is who and what they do in the office. It’s happening – slowly.” Tony had his first initiation into the farming area where he will be working: “We went deep into the country; first across a broad plain toward a mountain ridge, then we climbed into a different climate and found lush growth and lots of farms with deep, rich soil – essentially in the middle of nowhere. Yet all along the highway were Masai herders with goats and cattle, often feeding at road’s edge – and lovely gentle gray coloured donkeys. I have changed my mind about jeeps – Nyagawa, our driver, took us where we would not go otherwise. Farm folk were walking but few vehicles could cope – it had rained and it was slick. Nyagawa is one good driver – a quiet fellow and totally professional. Some fields were being plowed with small, delicate oxen and a few
with tractors. The trucks that were coming to pick up the maize from the co-op storage shed got stuck – eventually a tractor came to free them. We went to talk with a farmer’s organization about the contract they had signed with World Food. In brief, the prices are now higher than when the agreement was made and the growers are in need of cash now and not later after delivery to the warehouse. Problems just like home but compounded by an isolated environment with few amenities and difficult transportation.” The compensation for the long day was the beautiful scenery and the “three giraffes and the baboons. The baboons were sitting on the corner of the highway hustling bananas. They learned this from the tourists. Also a tortoise was crossing the road and if there is a God, the Kobe will make it...” Now Tony will “tackle the PC - tomorrow and all the days after!”

Quarterly update from the South Similkameen Museum Society Contributed by Kim Ruttig The South Similkameen Museum Society invites you to visit their newly designed website at www.keremeosmuseum.ca. Keep up to date with museum and community related activities under the events section; learn how the SSMS encourages community engagement in the museum resources section; visit the gallery section to view the collection of historic photographs capturing industry, buildings, and people; or browse to see if your family’s history is listed in the families on record section – presently, there are over fifty family histories collected. If you would like to contribute a family story or historic photographs from your family’s collection, please contact us; it is the museum’s mission to collect and preserve the South Similkameen history and this goal can only be accomplished with your participation. If viewing www.keremeosmuseum.ca leaves you wanting to see more historic images of the South
Similkameen, visit the National Virtual Museums of Canada at www.virtuamuseum.ca and view the museum’s two virtual exhibitions: The Winds of Change – Keremeos and the Similkameen Valley; and the legends and Lore of the South Similkameen. With over two hundred historic and contemporary photographs curated by the South Similkameen Museum Society, you can take your time to enjoy viewing the exhibitions comfortably from your home, office or school. The museum encourages teachers and students to utilize the virtual exhibitions as an educational tool when learning about our regional history – every picture tells a story. This project was funded and software provided through the Canadian Heritage Information Network /Community Memories Program. As an integral member of the community, part of the museum’s responsibility is to ensure free and accessible information for anyone who has interest in South Similkameen history. It is hoped that by sharing a part of the museum’s collection via our website and through
the two virtual exhibitions, that those who cannot make it to the museum in person, will go online to learn and later to share their discoveries of the South Similkameen from a virtual experience. The website will be maintained monthly, please visit it regularly. The museum welcome our past members, families and interested individuals to join to SSMS: Membership is $10; volunteers are always welcome.

OBITUARY KRAUSHAR DOROTHY March 8, 1914 April 5, 2012: Dorothy passed away peacefully April 5/12. She was predeceased by her 1st husband, John, 2nd husband, Edmund and grandson, Blaine. Dorothy will be sadly missed by her son Ernest (Lynda) Brucker, daughter Joanne (Greg) Eaton, son Kenneth Brucker, step daughter Kathy Kraushar, her grandchildren Laura (Brian) Taylor, Shawn (Christa) Eaton, Cory (Susan) Eaton, BobbiJo (Gyula) Wachtler and great grandchildren Isabella, Bailey, Wyatt, Quinn, Lola and Aiden. Dorothy’s career involved work as an LPN at Alberta Hospital where she shared her giving and gentle spirit with mental health patients for many years. Dorothy was a lover of sports and games. In her younger years she loved basketball, progressed to golf, curling and tennis in mid-life and in her later years became remarkably skilled at Bocce as well as Lawn and Carpet Bowling. When she could no longer participate in the many sports she loved she would watch them intently on television. We enjoyed discussing the ins and outs of many great sports moments over the years and amazingly her mind was always sharp with the details. Dorothy rarely met a card game she wasn’t thrilled to jump into and spent countless hours enjoying her friends and the games. Fiercely competitive but always the picture of sportsmanship, she was a joy to play both with and against. For over 30 years Dorothy enjoyed time with family and friends while vacationing at Christina Lake, BC. Years of horse-shoe tournaments, boat rides, wipeouts, new friends, old friends, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, laughter and the sharing of tears made for so many rich and special relationships. She was everyones ‘Gram’, we happily shared her, she was loved and cherished by so very many and will be deeply missed this summer and for many to come. Dorothy loved and treasured her time with family. Countless hours were spent over the years happily reading and playing games with her grandchildren then countless more with her great-grandchildren - they were the jewels in her crown of life. She was a woman who found great joy in life’s simple pleasures with a boundless love of nature and a faithful heart. She was loved by all that met her, a dear lady who had a wonderful and long life. We will cherish the abundant gifts she has left us in our memories and in our hearts. Her life will be celebrated by a tea in her honor. It will be held Sunday, April 15/12 at the Keremeos Senior Centre, @ 2:00 p.m. In lieu of Ă owers, donations can be made in Dorothy’s name to the Canadian Red Cross. This gift would bring her great joy!
