Pleased with policing Regional district board of directors express satisfaction with policing efforts in the region By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com

Australia’s Town of Gundagi has its famous “Dog on the Tuckerbox;” Cawston has its own “Dog on a Hay Bale,” no doubt soon to be equally famous. This protective canine was busy minding its owners load recently on Ferko Road in Cawston.
The Regional District Protective Services Committee appeared to be pleased with police services in the region following a presentation by Inspector Brad Haugli, OIC Penticton South Okanagan Similkameen Detachment at the committee meeting on May 3. Crime statistics showed reductions in every area of the region across most categories, Haugli told the committee. Keremeos showed an increase in activity overall during the past two years, but fourth quarter results for 2011 showed significant improvements in most categories. Haugli attributed the turnaround to Keremeos detachment commander Mike Gallagher, who assumed command last August. Several comments from directors indicated a continuing satisfaction with police services. Area “H” Director Brad Hope spoke of a personal incident involving theft where he felt the local police did an exemplary job. Summerland Director Janice Perrino and Princeton Director Frank Armitage both expressed
satisfaction with police services in their communities. Haugli noted that regional police issues often stemmed from chronic offenders and crimes related to drug and alcohol abuse. Mental health issues were also at the root of many incidents. “Police are trying to think outside the box,” Haugli expressed, “and we are trying to work with social services so that those who want help can get it.” Haugli also emphasized that perpetrators had to pay for their crimes, but it was also necessary that a system was in place to ensure that those who wanted help could get it, an idea that struck a chord with the directors. Area “B” Director George Bush expressed the view that many offenders wanted the comforts of jail time. “In my experience, I have had offenders tell me they were glad to go back,” Haugli answered. “There is a need for society to come up with strategies for those who are released from prison, to have a plan in place so that they can get help, if they are going that route - because now, if they walk out that door, there is nobody there to help them out.” Bush agreed that there was a “big gap there,” expressing the view that governments were overlooking this aspect of the legal system.

Union employees take strike vote at regional district RDOS press release Unionized employees of the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen have voted to go on strike. The Regional District stated in a press release issued Monday that they have treated their employees fairly over the term of the past two collective agreements and have offered a fair settlement and certainty for the next four years. The union has proposed a 6.2 per cent increase in 2012 and a further 3.18 per cent increase in 2013. Over the past six years they have received increases of 4.25 per cent, 3.5 per cent, 3.5 per cent, 2.5 per cent, 1.5 per cent and 1.5 per cent. The Regional District would also clarify a statement made
by our employees that the Board of the Regional District gave themselves a raise. The Board of the Regional District has received no increased compensation since 2006. A Provincial mediator has been assigned to help resolve the differences between the RDOS and their unionized employees. The board of the Regional District believes RDOS has outstanding employees and we appreciate their dedication, but we’re disappointed that they believe a 6.2 per cent increase in 2012 is something the citizens of the RDOS would support. We hope an agreement can be reached amicably and that we can continue working together to provide excellent service to our citizens.
IBC offers tips for Emergency Preparedness Week Contributed by CNW Group
Floods, wild fires could pose threat to Similkameen residents this year
It’s Emergency Preparedness Week, a reminder that everyone has a role to play in being prepared for an emergency. This week Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) encourages Canadians to follow some simple steps so you will become better prepared. “Our industry has seen first-hand the devastating impact that disasters can have on individuals, families and communities,” says Lindsay Olson, Vice President, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba with IBC. “Insurers will be there to help when disasters strike, but a little preparation can go a long way to minimize the impact of an emergency.” One of the prime reasons to be “emergency-savvy” is that it could take emergency workers some time to reach you. According to Public Safety Canada you should be able to take care of yourself and your family for a minimum of 72 hours. These tips will help you to become better prepared to face a range of emergencies:
Know the risks in your region. Be better prepared by identifying the most common hazards specific to your region. Make a solid emergency plan. Having a plan will help you and your family know exactly what to do in case of emergency. Have an emergency kit with basic supplies. Be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least three days. During an emergency know what to do and who to call in different circumstances. Learn who does what during an emergency because we all have a role to play. After an emergency know what you need to do. Always keep a home inventory of your possessions including receipts, photographs or video footage in advance and be prepared when disaster strikes.

Access changes coming to Review’s online content Black Press As of May 14, all Review subscribers will enjoy full access to the newspaper’s premium online content on at no additional cost. This is an important step as part of a growing industry trend to reward our loyal readers with free unlimited access to all the local coverage you expect from your community newspaper. That means all website content, including our eEditions (a digital replica of the paper), is now included in the cost of your paid subscription. May 14, the first day for subscribers to activate their digital account, the Review will publish details about the premium content plan and how it will work. Starting May14, print subscribers can go to www.keremeosreview.com to sign up for digital access. May 14, new clients can subscribe for $45 per year (plus HST) to an all-access package, which includes the print edition and premium online content. Readers who want to forgo the print edition, or who live outside the Review’s delivery area, will still be able to access digital-only premium content on a monthly or annual basis. With this step, the Keremeos Review joins scores of paid-circulation community newspapers in cities large and small across the country which are recognizing the value of their online content, Keremeos Review Associate Publisher Tammy Sparkes said. “Our next-generation products such as our online content and e-editions, play an important part of our future,” Sparkes said. “We will deliver the news and information to readers when they want it, where they want it and, most importantly, how they want it.” While recognizing the value of the unique, local content created by the newsroom staff at the Keremeos Review, Sparkes also appreciates the realities of a free-access internet. “We understand that news outside of what our local reporters generate can be had elsewhere and for free, but there are literally thousands of such stories each day,” she said. “The stories written by our staff are uniquely Keremeos and Lower Similkameen; there is an inherent value in that - we appreciate it, or print subscribers appreciate it - and it should be recognized in all facets of our industry, including the emerging online component.” Subscribers will enjoy privileges that include ability to forward stories via email or social media accounts, participate in online discussions
and access all content. Non-subscribers still will have free digital access to limited areas, such as provincial news, our web site’s front page and section fronts, blogs, classifieds and obituaries, Sparkes said. And when Breaking News happens locally, that too will be available to all site visitors at no charge. The Review’s all-access paid premium print and online model represents next-generation thinking for the newspaper industry, Sparkes said. “Frankly, our industry could have adopted this paid-premium online approach years ago, but the thinking was always on page views and unique site visits,” she said. “We all thought that, the more circulation you had - in this case, page views - the more desirable for advertisers. But people utilize advertising on the Internet differently.” She said the evolution to valuing online content is “simply another tool in our kit. We have always been a media company.” Sparkes has been reticent to charge for online content, considering it may impact page views. However, she is confident the hyper-local nature of content created by Keremeos Review staff will win the day. “If we have something that no one else can produce, readers might be willing to pay for it,” she said. “We have that audience through Keremeos Review - and we owe it to our print readers to share the same respect for them with our online product.” Sparkes expects there may be an initial decline in page views during the transition to e-subscriptions. However, she knows it will be minimal, and short-lived as the products value gains traction. “What’s encouraging is we will show our advertisers a dedicated readership that is committed to the Keremeos Review brand - in print and online.”

news The Lower Similkameen Valley British Columbia, Canada
Caution urged near area rivers Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations The public is urged to take extra care near the region’s rivers because of high water levels. Water levels are expected to continue to be an issue this week with the onset of warmer temperatures, with highs expected in the upper 20’s by the weekend. Visitors and residents are reminded that the Okanagan and Similkameen River’s deep and fast-flowing current requires heightened safety awareness. Adults are urged to keep children and pets under close supervision at all times when near the banks of the river. If going into the river, take precautionary safety measures such as using a safe watercraft and wearing a life jacket. Recent rains, combined with this year’s snowpack melt, are expected to cause higher runoff into the Okanagan river from Okanagan Lake for the next several weeks. Flows in Okanagan River between Okanagan Lake and Osoyoos Lake are currently well above normal and are expected to remain high throughout the spring and early summer.

quarter, and the number of vehicle break ins ended the year 14 per cent lower than in 2010. Break and enter complaints were 16 per cent higher on the year over 2010, but had also showed a decline in the fourth quarter. There were two robberies in Keremeos in the fourth quarter, one involving a 13 year old girl on Oct. 26, who was pushed to the ground and had money taken from her wallet. A male was arrested, charged and is currently out on conditions awaiting a court date. The second incident took place on December 7, involving an armed robbery of the Subway restaurant. The suspect was arrested after causing a number of accident on Highway 3, charged and is currently serving a three year jail term. The Keremeos detachment investigated seven founded drug offenses during the fourth quarter. Three files were related to CDSA trafficking, and one involved cannabis production. A search warrant executed on a residence in the 500 block of Eleventh Avenue discovered 1.175 pounds of marijuana along with cash and drug paraphenalia. One 90 day roadside suspension was issued and one 24 hour suspension was issued for drug use. One
driver was charged with impaired driving under the criminal code. Detachment members were involved in several community endeavours during the fourth quarter, including Remembrance Day ceremonies, Christmas Light up, the Christmas dinner held at SESS and at the Lower Similkameen Indian Band. The Citizens on Patrol program continues to be active, with regular weekend patrols. The detachment conducted over 60 foot patrols during the quarter. The Restorative Justice Program is under development for the Keremeos area, with training for volunteer facilitators having taken place in February. There are no chronic nuisance offenders in the Keremeos detachment area at this time. The Keremeos RCMP detachment is moving forward with the development of the Community Prevention Education Continuum (CPEC).The program is designed to be a sustainable, community led, police assisted, comprehensive youth drug prevention strategy. The DARE program continues to be delivered to Keremeos Elementary School. Crime Stoppers received two tips relating to events in the Keremeos area in the fourth quarter.

Editorial
Grecian mentality at work at RDOS The Regional District Okanagan Similkameen’s unionized employees seem to be making a determined effort to ensure that what happens economically in Europe will one day occur here. The recent announcement of the union employees election to strike comes after six years of annual wage increases totalling 16.25 per cent. The strike vote is being called after not being given a further 9.38 per cent increase over this and next year. One can only shake one’s head at the collective audacity behind such a decision. We would sincerely like to hear from anyone in the region, working in the private sector, who has seen their annual income increase by such margins in such a short period of time. Does any of the regional district’s unionized staff read the news? Do they bother to look down the street to see how their neighbour is faring? Do they notice the empty storefronts in the downtown cores of the region’s communities? There is obviously no capacity for embarrassment by this group, to expect regional taxpayers to shovel out that kind of money. The unionized RDOS staff need a tutorial in European economies, especially Greece. What happens when a country overpays those that considers themselves “entitled?” The regional district’s unionized staff’s demands are heading down a similar road, make no mistake about it. There has been a reduced demand for all types of regional district services since the economic downturn of 2008; we, as taxpayers should be paying less in wages to the RDOS, not more. That’s the reality. The union staff at the regional district need to get in touch with reality, too.

Pensions for public sector out of whack By Laura Jones Canadian Federation of Independent Business As governments across Canada struggle to get their fiscal houses in order, it’s becoming increasingly clear that spending on public-sector wages and benefits is neither fair nor sustainable. The C.D. Howe Institute estimates that unfunded public-sector pension liabilities total more than $200 billion for the federal public sector alone. Based on census data, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business has estimated that wages and benefits in the federal public sector are 40 per cent more than equivalent jobs in the private sector. Something you may not know about, the “bridge benefit”, is a good example of the unsustainable and unfair compensation practices in the public sector. If you’re in the private sector, you’re eligible to

fixed in a way that is unfair to existing public sector employees. But some policy changes are in order. Two budgets ago, Ottawa took a good first step. It eliminated the provision that gave federal employees severance pay for quitting their jobs. More changes were promised in the last federal budget. Eliminating the bridge benefit would be a good next step. Putting new public-sector employees on compensation plans that compare more fairly with the private sector is another obvious thing to do. One of my colleagues recently pointed out the pain of regret is far worse than the pain of discipline. Having public-sector compensation wildly out of whack with the private sector is a problem that calls for discipline now before we feel the pain of regret when we start looking like Greece.

WOW! A great big THANK YOU goes out to our dedicated Volunteer Drivers!
Area “G” director gives views on park proposal lieve a park is a good or a bad thing is, in my mind, irrelevant until those most impacted have had a fair opportunity for a meaningful dialogue. This would mean that the studies that are ongoing and which have been completed should be available for public view, and informed decisions which consider the various impacts can be made by all of us. We will all win when a good deal for everybody is struck - and that is not impossible. The guidelines and rules around what a national park includes are decided by people, implemented by people and can be influenced by all of us. There have been some very compelling arguments made about agricultural land and our ability to feed ourselves, and these points resonate very strongly for me in this time of increased awareness about the unhealthy food supply created by giant agri-business. We are incredibly lucky to have the access we do to healthy livestock and fruit and vegetables grown right here in the Similkameen. Having grown up in the farming community of Chilliwack, I know what a threat development is to ALR lands. It happens. Thinking that farmland will remain that way forever is misguided: it only takes the right people with enough money to be interested in sticking up a subdivision and Voila! it happens. It would not surprise me if the future included residences crawling up the gorgeous untouched mountains on either side of the Similkameen. I don’t like the idea, but it looks like it will happen if we don’t take the time to prevent it. I chose to live in the Similkameen because it does not look like the Okanagan. The few billboards dotting our landscape is a welcome rest to my eyes weary of neon, and our starry nights are unparalleled. I can find tasty blue grouse almost outside my doorstep and regularly sight mountain goats on the hills above Hedley. Many of the people I’ve met, both those who have lived here a long time and those who are newcomers, love this place, filled with the saskatoon blooms and wild currants; soon it will be asparagus season, and when the freshet is over we’ll eat trout for breakfast. One of the most difficult
Pro or no park vote at the RDOS By Angelique Wood Area”G” Director Many voters took the time to send emails and leave phone messages expressing their opinion about the park issue in our area. Thank you all for the time and consideration you put into your correspondence. My “in box” was equally divided by those of you who felt that we need this park and those of you who reject the park. Arguments both for and against the park were equally heartfelt, with the overwhelming sentiment that people want the landscape protected. By this I mean that people who want a park believe that
“
If anyone is to decide the fate of the area I believe those most impacted should be the place where the Feds start their conversations.
”
a national park is the only way to save this part of the Similkameen from the pressures of development, which is encroaching from both the west and east, while those who oppose a park believe the only way to maintain this place the way it is, is to prevent any development at all, and not “open the gates” to tourism and the invasive footprint of more bodies entering these pristine lands. I have been accused of “taking the easy way out” by not voting at the RDOS where the proposal was made that this local government ask the province to re-engage its talks around the national park. In fact, by choosing not to vote on this question, I was acknowledging that this decision should not sit with me; I feel the decision to engage in discussions about this issue should be made by the landowners and stakeholders directly involved. The federal government, which holds the purse strings to decide the values of this land should be talking directly with the ranchers and First Nations who will be most affected by the decisions which unfold. Whether the rest of us be-
considerations for me is that tendency we have as human beings to destroy almost everything around us and then look at our neighbours and decide that we want what they have. Alternatively, we decide they ought to do something that we didn’t. That is the crux, to me, of this national park argument. First Nations are well familiar with the tendency of non-natives looking at reserve lands as a place to protect “species at risk.” The scenario goes something like this, and is equally applicable to the ranchers and hunters of the Similkameen too: You protect something by stewarding it, making trails through it, getting to know its secrets, making it better but not impacting it in a huge and destructive way. You may choose not to do much because you don’t have the money to, or perhaps you don’t have the desire to. Then, your neighbours, who have either planted vineyards eradicating Burrowing Owl habitat or pulling up antelope brush to build houses, realize that their frogs, salamanders, and turtles are all disappearing and they look across the valley where some of those creatures remain. Now, since there are only a few creatures left, it’s time to do something. Why is it, that the folks who have been practicing the values which preserved the place as it is, should not be allowed to decide their own fates, and if they chose, develop it, make money from it, and create the same future for themselves and their descendants that all those who wanted to make wineries on the slopes of the rest of the valley did? Finding a balance in this delicate landscape is our challenge, made more difficult by the threat to family traditions and values of loving and living on the land. There are no easy answers in this difficult debate and I think there are merits to both sides of the argument. I believe that the reports should be made public, as they were paid for with taxpayer dollars. If anyone is to decide the fate of the area I believe those most impacted should be the place where the feds start their conversations.

Valley First community endowment to give $42,000 in community grants in 2012 Contributed The First West Foundation announced today it will donate $42,000 from the Valley First Community Endowment to charitable organizations across the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson valleys. During 2012, the Valley First Community Endowment will provide grants to organizations that run food-related programs for at-risk children, youth, seniors and families. These grants complement the work being done through Valley First’s signature cause: Feed the Valley, a unique community partnership focused on tackling hunger in the region. “We were thrilled to receive this funding,”
says Gay Jewitt, executive director of the Whitevalley Community Resource Centre and a recipient of a 2011 grant. “This money has allowed us to expand and enhance some of our programs. This simply wouldn’t have been possible without the Valley First Endowment grant. With the addition of food and the creation of our breakfast program, we are seeing more people staying, socializing and making connections with others in the community.” According to Hunger Count, a 2011 report by Food Banks Canada, food banks assisted more than 90,000 individuals in B.C. last year with children under the age of 18 representing 31.8 per cent of food bank clients.

Regional district tracking call outs from Kelowna dispatch By Steve Arstad The regional district’s emergency fire dispatch service moved to Kelowna under contract with the City of Kelowna Fire Department in January of this year. As part of the new service contract, calls are now being tracked in order to analyze for types of calls, trends, volume of calls and geographic location. Statistics for the past two years (2010 to 2011) indicate a decline in calls for the fire departments of Kaleden and Kerermeos, based on per centages of the total number of calls received in Kelowna by regional district fire departments.
Okanagan Falls Volunteer Fire Department’s calls also dipped slightly. Keremeos (2010) 2.7 per cent of total call volume. (2011) 2.3 per cent of total call volume Kaleden (2010) 2.4 per cent of total call volume. (2011) 1.7 per cent of total call volume Okanagan Falls (2010) 5.1 per cent of total call volume. (2011) 4.4 per cent of total call volume. Interestingly, regional fire departments call outs for structure fires have only made up 2.3 per cent of total calls to dispatch so far in 2012. Medical assist calls have made up 57.8 per cent of total call volumes this year.

Shannon Gauvin is one of several volunteers working to put together Hedley’s hugelbeet pile.
Hedley’s hugelbeet heroes By Angelique Wood Hedley Hugelbeet project
On May 3, work began in earnest on the redirection of greens waste in Hedley to the construction of a working compost pile- a Hugelbeet-which will be constructed over the next month and monitored as a new way to deal with the volumes of yard waste which are currently either hauled to the dump, illegally dumped up Twenty Mile Creek, or burned in backyard barrels. The best thing about a Hugelbeet is it is an immediate way to start building soil in an area which has been compromised by enormous piles of tailings, left over from the heydays of mining in Hedley. Yesterday’s crew included Doug Bratt, as a driver, picking up bags of leaves throughout town. Shannon and Donna Gauvin used their muscles to load trailer after trailer of trees and branches up to the newly established yard waste sorting area. Vickie Hansen worked to re-pile the waste which others had left before the Hugelbeet sorting area was really in production, since as
organizers our biggest concern is that uninformed residents assume that the “old burn pile” is active again. We were able to gather a great deal of the waste which was left out as the RDOS greens pick up was slated for Friday, May 4. Doug Bratt confirmed with the “garbage man” that he only got two or so bags of leaves, so we can congratulate ourselves on diverting an enormous amount from the landfill- thus reducing greenhouse gases- and working towards a healthier future for the families living here in Hedley. We do ask that those of you who are able-bodied to shift the greens waste yourself- or offer to help with hauling when there is a truck nearby; there were lots of people who did not cut their branches down to a manageable size, and left enormous piles for the very gracious and giving volunteers to deal with. Though it is typical of human nature to take advantage of the kindness of others, this project is intended to build a new model of cooperation where people are actually accountable for their actions. We appreciate your vision and assistance in making this exciting project work for everyone.
If you are carrying various forms of debt and making multiple, sometimes high-interest, payments each month debt consolidation could be the best way to manage your money, your time and your debt. Here’s how and why it works: • Eliminates high-interest, high-cost loans -- by consolidating car payments, education loans, lines of credit and expensive credit card payments into one, lower-interest loan. • Lowers your monthly interest payments -- by consolidating your debts, you can seek out a lower overall interest rate than the combined rate you’re currently paying on all your debts. When you’ve consolidated all your loans, you then have two choices: o Keep your “pre-consolidation” payment amount – because you’re paying a lower interest rate on your consolidated loan, by applying the same payment amount towards your debt you will be putting extra money towards the principal debt repayment and will eliminate your debt much faster. o Keep your amortization or debt payback period the same – your new lower-interest consolidated loan means a reduced payment amount and the creation of additional cash flow that you can use to reach other financial life goals. Here are a few other debt management suggestions: • Consider consolidating through a home equity loan – you’ll pay a much lower interest rate than on many other types of loans and especially your credit cards that can range from 19 to 28 percent interest on outstanding balances. • Keep amortization to a reasonable timeframe – aim for repayment within five years. • A line of credit is not for everyone –although it provides added flexibility for your borrowing needs, if you have trouble sticking to a budget and typically have little money left at the end of the month to apply to your debt, a personal loan or a refinanced mortgage might be better options because they require a defined principal re-payment plan instead of allowing for interest only payments. • Keep one credit card for emergencies –
MANAGING Your Money and cut up all the rest until you have control of your debt. • Be cautious about debt counselling companies – be sure the company is reputable and is focused on your best financial interests. It’s a good idea to speak with a professional advisor about creating a debt management plan that works for you. And once you’ve done that, take steps to create a longer term financial plan. After all, with your debt under control and better cash flow, you can really start saving toward all your life goals. This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

Celebrate Mom - May 12, 2012 Give the gift of green for Mother’s Day Mom may appreciate chocolate or flowers. But for children who want to offer her something a little more special -- especially for their eco-conscious moms -- there are a number of different gift options to make Mom’s big day as eco-friendly as it is enjoyable. Esther, An eco-friendly gift for Mom is a gift that keeps on giving. When you jot down your gift idea list, You’re very much loved by all! think about adding these “green” gifts. Marg, Dick & Family * Make a basket of gardening gear. Garden plants and supplies are perhaps the greenest gifts to give Mom. Plants are so plentiful and varied that there are bound to be ideal flowers or greenery for every mother’s tastes. Compile different with a gift certificate from gardening essentials, such as seeds or seedlings, organic soil mix, mulch, all-natural compost, and a few different planting containers. You can also include gardening gloves and ergonomic tools made of recycled materials. Finish the gift with the inclusion of a book that describes different garden designs and gives tips for beginners. * Dine at a local restaurant. Many families take Mom out for a meal on her special day. To make the experience eco-friendly, select among restaurants that are close to home in the area. Explore the possibilities of res710 - 7th Street taurants that may serve foods made with local, organic ingredients. If you cannot find such a restaurant, do not worry, just choose a local establishment to conserve fuel. * Pay for a car tune-up. Improving the gas mileage on Mom’s car is one gift that can be environmentally friendly. According to the United States Department of Energy, keeping a car in shape can help save money and improve fuel economy. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve Mom’s gas mileage by as much as 40 percent. Also, be sure to have her car tires properly inflated. She can be losing gas mileage by 0.3 percent for every 1 psi drop in all four tires. Getting an oil change with the recommended grade of motor oil is another gas mileage improvement measure. * Purchase eco-friendly kitchen items. It may be a major faux pas to give Mom an appliance or a new vacuum for Mother’s Day. However, if your mother is an avid cook or baker, she may appreciate some new mixing bowls or utensils made from recycled materials. If Mom is the consummate entertainer, get her new glass tumblers and sipping straws made from recycled glass. They are perfect for serving cocktails and outdoor entertaining. * Pamper mom with organic products. What mom doesn’t enjoy a little pampering from time to time? You can treat your mother to a spa experience at home by assembling a basket full of organic shampoo, conditioner, massage oils, bath salts, and any other organic spa items you can find. * Select organic fruits and flowers. Companies like www.organicbouquet.com can assemble a All special ladies will receive a fresh cut flower at the door bouquet made from responsibly grown flowers or even a wreath for a wall or door. They also have food gifts, from organic fruits to nuts. * Spend the day outdoors. Most moms cherish any gift from their children, whether lavish or simple. A nice, eco-friendly gift is to spend time together. Research local parks or hiking trails and plan a day where you both commune with nature. Or even head to the seaside for a relaxing day.

Community Foundation of the South Okanagan hosts Income Tax & Estate Planning Seminar Contributed On Friday, April 27 the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan hosted their first seminar on Income Tax & Estate Planning. The seminar was a huge success, with more than 60 people in attendance. “We’re doing these seminars,” said Aaron McRann, Executive Director of the Community Foundation, “to help people learn about the benefits of charitable giving. We’re not suggesting that people give to the Community Foundation, per se; just that they give to a charity that is important to them.” Presenter Susan Kelly, a 28 year veteran of the financial and estate planning industry, emphasized the significant tax benefits of charitable giving, which came as a surprise to many of the participants. “Feedback we received from the event,” said Ms. Kelly, “confirmed that most people believe giving to charity means taking money from their heirs. In reality, if an estate has been properly planned and
Keremeos to be the focus of Small Town BC segment
structured, giving to charity means adopting another child – your favourite charity – while disinheriting the taxman.” An additional semi-
nar is planned for October 2012. “ We w e r e v e r y pleased with the response to this first seminar,” said McRann. “We’ll be advertising
the next one as the date gets closer, but we definitely recommend that people reserve their spots early. I’m anticipating that we will reach capacity
very quickly.” Anyone interested in receiving information about upcoming free seminars on tax and estate planning is encouraged to con-
tact the Community Foundation as soon as possible. For further information, please call: Aaron McRann Executive Director

Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising. On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*
What does this mean for you? 54 or older as of March 31, 2012
You may still obtain OAS/GIS at age 65
53 or younger as of March 31, 2012
The age of eligibility for OAS/GIS will change gradually between 2023 and 2029
Starting in July 2013, Canadians who are eligible for, but not yet receiving OAS will have the flexibility to delay receiving it in exchange for a higher monthly amount at a later date.
By Steve Arstad Keremeos will be the highlight of an episode of Small Town BC this Sunday, May 13 on Global BC’s Sunday Morning News. Pass the word on to family and friends that anyone is welcome to send in one photo each of Keremeos and area to this email address: weekendnews@ globaltv.com. In addition, send a brief description of your photo. The photos will be shown on TV during the show.

Eastern Star works together for the community Contributed Being a member of the Order of the Eastern Star is very fulfilling for these members of Similkameen Chapter #78 in Keremeos who are making crib size quilts to be given free of charge to infants and young children at Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, plus they get to take them home. They are also making carry bags for patients at the Kelowna Cancer Centre. The bags are to hold patient’s belongings when they go for their treatments. Hats and slippers are also being made for chemo patients. The group is shown with a total of 39 quilts and 42 bags ready to deliver. The Eastern Star collects used stamps as a fundraiser to pay for supplies for cancer dress-
ings which are made by the members and given free of charge to cancer patients. Donations of used stamps are appreciated and can be left at the senior centre in Keremeos. If you have fabric or yarn that you would like to donate to make quilts or would like to join the group making quilts contact us at the number below. The Eastern Star is the largest fraternal organization in the world to which both men and women may belong. The Keremeos chapter is very active holding an annual Oktoberfest, craft and bake sale in December and a Celtic Pie dinner in March. The chapter supports local projects including high school bursaries and scholarships. They welcome inquiries about new membership.For more information call Joan Guild at 250-499-0239.

We are proud to bring you up-to-date coverage of news, sports and entertainment 24 hours a day, and have invested in our newsroom to be able to deliver the news in different ways. Those investments ensure we can provide the information you need to be informed and to make decisions every day, and to deliver it in ways you want it, when you want it. Whether you are looking for the latest developments from City Hall, the score of a high school game, ideas for what to do this weekend, or places to shop, we know thousands of you rely on us each week. Beginning the week of May 14, we will introduce charges for digital subscriptions for those who do not subscribe to our print edition. In doing so, we join a growing number of newspaper companies across the country that have taken this step. As with other papers that have begun charging for premium content online, we view this as an investment in the future so we can continue our mandate to offer a credible report of news, information and opinion. No organization can match the Review breadth and depth of local news, and revenue derived from digital subscriptions will contribute to the ongoing investment in that mandate. All subscribers to the Review print edition will have access at no additional charge to all content at www.keremeosreview.com. All access entitles you to: * Subscriber content online: At www. keremeosreview.com, you will be able to look at all stories, photos and videos, post comments on stories and read what others are saying. * e-Edition: You will be able to access our new e-Edition - an exact replication of the printed newspaper.

If you have further questions after reading that, please contact our customer service staff at helpdesk@blackpress.ca or 1-888-811-5627. Tammy Sparkes Associate Publisher Mark Walker Publisher
Online Subscription Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why has the paper chosen to make some of its content “Premium Content?” A: Like any business, we need to price our product in such a way that we can continue to provide the level of quality to which our customers have grown accustomed. Maintaining our staff of talented local journalists, sales people and designers would not be possible without subscription fees. This also corrects an anomaly that’s existed for years - where our print subscribers paid to read our stories, which were available online free. This properly recognizes the value all our subscribers place on our content. Q: Will the entire site require a subscription? A: No, much of the site will still be free, including: breaking news, calendar, and all facets of provincial coverage. Subscriptions are required to access our in-depth local news, sports, opinions and features. Q: Can I buy a subscription on the website? A: Yes. You can pay for delivery of our print edition plus online access, or just the online access quickly and easily through our site. Q: Do I need to pay for another subscription if I already receive the paper ? A: No, not at all. Your existing print subscription entitles you to full access to our website for the entire term of your subscription. Q: How do I use my print subscription to access your website? A: All current subscribers were sent a letter with instructions and a unique customer account number. If you receive the paper via the mail, check the mail label on the newspaper. Your subscription number appears there. If you have carrier delivery, you should have received a letter with your customer account number instructions regarding activation of your online account. You can go here (link to /eeditions) to start the process. Enter your account number in the portion of the page marked “Current Print Subscribers” and you’ll be asked to answer a few short questions, after which your subscription will be verified and you’ll have complete access to our site. Q: What if I can’t find my account number? A: We will help you with that. Please call us at 1-888-811-5627. Q: What about new subscribers who pay via mail? A: New subscribers who opt for an offline payment method will have their subscriptions activated within seven (7) days. The Circulation Department will provide your account number so you can link your subscriptions on the website. Q: How do I purchase a subscription online? A: Go to our site and click on the eEdition link to start the process. Q: What information do I need to provide? A: We need your name, email address, phone number, and delivery address. You will also need to provide a method of payment through PayPal.com. Q: Why do you use PayPal? Do I need an account there? A: PayPal is one of the most trusted payment processors on the Internet. Customers who wish to use our online payment option will NOT need a PayPal account, though many already have one. With PayPal, customers can choose to pay via credit card, bank transfer, check, or using funds from their PayPal account directly. Q: What if I go on vacation? A: We can pause your print subscription during your vacation. Your online subscription will continue so you can access all of the local news during your travels. Q: What about privacy? A: We do not share or sell your information. You can learn more about our privacy policy at LOCALTITLE/privacy. Some of our service partners, such as PayPal, have their own privacy policies and terms of service that customers should be aware of.

HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK XERISCAPING Used with permission of Friends of Summerland Ornamental Gardens -- All rights reserved. Xeri - pronounced zery - from the classical Greek root xer, meaning dry. Xeriscape gardening, water-smart gardening, dryland gardening - these all mean much the same thing: using fewer resources while still having a good-looking yard. Is this possible in the Okanagan? You bet! Do you want a zero-maintenance yard? Zero maintenance is tough to reach. Even concrete painted green needs some maintenance, but we can show you garden plantings which look great but don’t need the pampering that an irrigated yard needs. Do you want flowers in your yard starting in early spring and not ending until late fall? We have trees, shrubs, perennial and annual flowering plants that cover the entire growing season and don’t need lots of water every week. Of course, most don’t flower continuously for the whole growing season. You really didn’t expect that, did you? Are you tired of watering, fertilizing, mowing your lawn every few days? We have a couple of grasses that don’t need any of this. OK, so they don’t stay green all winter. Nothing is perfect. Are you ready for a new adventure in gardening, in learning more about plants and their place in your environment? Something you can do a bit at a time at your own speed? This is what the xeriscape approach is all about: using plants in your garden that fit better into the local environment rather than being a drain on water resources and a potential source of overuse of fertilizer and pesticides. Do you have to re-engineer your whole garden to switch to this “xeriscaping”? No you don’t. You can change part of it. Maybe you have a problem area where your present maintenance isn’t working well. Maybe you have an area that isn’t very attractive in its present state. Eventually you may want to change your whole yard, but you can do it a section at a time. You may already have some drought-tolerant plants that you didn’t realize are drought-tolerant. There are two ways to find out. One is to stop watering. The plants that die are not drought-tolerant, and you replace them with ones that are. This could take some years because water needs vary quite a bit, and weather also varies quite a bit from year to year, and your garden will not look very good while you are converting it. The other, much better way, is to look up in a list such as the one on this web site, or check in a book to find which plants are drought-tolerant, then move the plants that need regular, frequent watering to another part of your garden and replace them in your new dryland area with new plants known to be drought-tolerant. Is this stuff hard? It is a sad fact of life that the introductory part of a new subject is the hardest part. You are learning new concepts, new words, new meanings. It’s the old learning curve: steeper at first, easier later. Still, this is not rocket science. Most plants are quite adaptable and give you lots of warning when all is not well with them. And gardens are often somewhat of a “work-inprogress”. Plants die, get too big, don’t do what you thought they would, or would look better in some other part of the garden. If you are going to turn to xeriscape gardening, you do need to know a bit more about plants and soils than the “water every three to four days” that is adequate when you have irrigation. There are lots of books on xeriscape gardening now. Your library and bookstores will have some of them. If you have an internet connection, there is lots of information there. There are seven principles of xeriscape gardening: planning and design, plant selection, soil analysis, turf, irrigation, mulches, and maintenance.

PLANNING & DESIGN Planning
The first step in developing your garden is to have a plan. This can be achieved by first deciding on your needs. What do you want from your garden in terms of outdoor activities, gardening interests, and functional concerns such as pathways, storage and service areas. Next comes a site inventory. Make an assessment of these items: Topography, orientation to the sun, existing vegetation, views both good and bad, remarkable features of the neighborhood, prevailing winds and microclimates provided by buildings etc. The third step is to come up with a strategy. Decide on the type of style that suits your house and neighborhood. Provide areas for activities, services and storage. Take advantage of views including those from the house. Provide for screening and privacy. Provide outdoor seating areas with sun and shade. Provide the pathways. Work out a strategy for grading and drainage. Plan to channel runoff from your house, outbuildings and paved surfaces to supplement the water elsewhere, for example, to

an existing shade tree. Whether or not the planning process is done on paper, it is a good idea to record your finished plan, for reference, since it is often necessary to schedule the work over an extended period of time. Also having a plan on paper makes it much easier to tackle the next step: Design. Article to be continued next week.

Annular eclipse of the sun once in a lifetime event
T
his month there will be an annular eclipse of the Sun and in June an opportunity to see a transit of Venus across the solar disc. If you have never seen one of these it is likely to be the last chance you’ll get in this lifetime; the next will be in 2117. The eclipse of the Sun and the transit of Venus will involve observing the Sun. If you are not absolutely sure you know how to do this, get into contact with someone who does. The solar disc
is very bright, and even staring at it with unaided eyes is dangerous. The eye’s lens acts as a burning glass, damaging the retina. The substantially greater light and heatcollecting powers of binoculars and telescopes makes damage certain. Filters that suppress the brightness, making the observations comfortable, might not be suppressing the infrared, so you could still be damaging your sight without knowing about it. The best thing is to team up with the local astronomical society. They will know how to observe these events and will probably have an organized observing session set up. The May-June edition of “Skynews,” the Canadian astronomy magazine, contains information on the events and how and when to observe them.
On Sunday, May 20 the Moon will move between us and the Sun, causing a solar eclipse. Since the Moon will be almost at its greatest distance from the Earth, even at the centre of the shadow’s path as it sweeps across the Earth’s surface, the Moon will not cover the Sun entirely; it will leave a ring of solar disc visible. These eclipses are called annular eclipses, after annulus, the Latin word for ring. For the rest of us, we will simply see the Moon block part of the solar disc for a while - a partial eclipse. Here are the start and end times (in local standard time) for a selection of Canadian cities, together with the percentage of solar disc covered. For some there is no end time because the Sun sets while the eclipse is in progress. Victoria (16:01, 18:25, 82 per cent), Vancouver (15:59, 18:23, 80 per
cent), Penticton (16:02, 18:22, 77 per cent), Edmonton (17:01, 19:13, 66 per cent), Regina (18:10, 20:15, 71 per cent) , Winnipeg (18:13, 20:11, 62 per cent), Toronto (19:19, 29 per cent), Ottawa (19:17, 20 per cent), Quebec (19:15 , 4 per cent). On June 5, the planet Venus will move between us and the Sun, and will be silhouetted against the bright solar disc. By noting the precise timings at widelydifferent locations on the Earth and using triangulation, these events were used to determine the distance between the Earth and Sun. Amateur astronomers spanning Canada plan to repeat these measurements.The times below are approximate and may be out by several minutes depending upon your position.Venus will touch the edge of the solar disc around 18:09 EDT/15:09 PDT,
be fully on the disc at 18:27 EDT/15:27 PDT, start to move off at 00:31 EDT (on the 6th)/21:31PDT (on the 5th), and it will be all over at 00:49 EDT (on the 6th) and 21:49 PDT (on the 5th). Those of us in the west will see more of it, and our friends in the Arctic will see it all. Again, if you plan to see either or both of these events, remember, staring at the Sun is dangerous, and looking at it through a telescope can be deadly. Venus still dominates the western sky after sunset. Mars is high in the South; Saturn is in the eastern sky. The Moon will reach last q.uarter on the 12th. Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics, and is based at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory, Penticton.

health SUMMER FEET BLUES By Deanna Klan Do your heels become dry, calloused and cracked during the summer? Here are the causes and the answers to smooth, soft, feet in quick simple ideas you can put into practice today. Every summer as an esthetician I am besieged with people who have problems with their feet, especially their heels. Usually they start out by apologizing for the state of their calluses. If that sounds familiar you will empathize with these men and women. The main culprits for this problem lay in the weather, here in the Okanagan the air is VERY dry (remember we live in a desert). In the winter it is also dry, but our feet are usually wrapped up in socks and warm shoes or boots protecting them from the drying effects of the air and the artificial heating. But with the warmer weather comes the desire to walk around in sandals as often as possible (it’s only natural) or even bare feet. So now our feet are subject to the air sucking the moisture out of our soles all day and night. Other causes are having naturally dry skin and some can be from a fungal infection (athletes foot) this fungus loves the perspiration of our feet. The fungus peels away at the skin allowing more and more skin to be available to the dry air. What to do? Here are some handy tips which will take next to no time (as all women are to busy already): Purchase a good quality foot file, like the estheticians use they are about $7 and will last you many many years. Don’t be tempted to use a razor or scissors to cut off this area of skin. Cutting or shaving will only make it grow back stronger in response to protect itself. I know that many estheticians use these in pedicures but if you research this issue on the internet or health resources you will find that this practice is outlawed in 22 US states and many countries around the world. Use the foot file every day, this way the skin cannot build up and become a big problem. You can use them wet or dry and while many feel that dry is superior, I find whichever is easier for you to do daily will be best as frequency is more important. For most clients I recommend that they put a little soap on the file and use it to wash their feet, they have to do this daily any way and therefore is not really an extra step. Just for 10 or 20 seconds each day is usually enough for maintenance. Apply a rich foot cream at night (when in bed is often best so it soaks overnight and doesn’t become walked over j the floor) this will take only one minute per day. Place an old hand towel under for a few minutes while you relax or read. Creams with shea butter or mango butter are good choices as they will have deep moisturizing qualities that last well. If there is no improvement in 2 weeks you may have a fungal condition, have your naturopath or Doctor check it for you. Tea tree or lavender oils are great anti fungal treatments for this or you can use something from the drug store. Be sure to treat your shoes with a spray or powder as well so you don’t re-infect yourself and have other members of your family look at their feet too. Have a professional pedicure at least once each summer if possible; the esthetician can get the majority of it under control for you. You should be able to take it from there. If your feet are quite bad right now you may wish to do so first and then start your maintenance plan. Just adding a frequent file and moisturizing to your feet will bring back your feet and heels to the soft, touchable toes you wish you had Autor Bio: Deanna Klan has enjoyed being a licensed esthetician since 1986 and she combines her love of natural organic essences and healing energies at her salon, Daydream Esthetics Studio in Penticton, 250 490-1233 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.

ALLERGY SEASON UPON US
The month of May is usually when allergies to pollen begin to be noticed. The beauties of spring often bring misery to those with hay fever and similar allergies. It doesn’t have to be this way. It’s difficult to live life by avoiding the pollens that cause the allergies. However, there are many effective medications that can control your symptoms. Our pharmacists would be happy to advise you.
ALCOHOL AND MEDICATIONS
Alcohol does interact with many drugs but for antibiotics the interactions are few. Pharmacists will certainly inform you, when it’s important, with an auxiliary label on the prescription bottle and will reinforce it verbally at the counter. These labels give important information about your prescription and should be heeded.
GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES DAILY
It’s a good thing to include green leafy vegetables in our daily diet. One of these veggies that doesn’t get the attention it deserves is kale. It contains healthy amounts of antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, potassium and vitamins A, C, E and K. If kale isn’t part of your diet, give it a try.
STOMACH ACID RELIEF
There are some very good medications available to reduce stomach acid and heartburn. If you find yourself without your medication and have bad heartburn, you may find relief from drinking a glass of water. The water will reduce the stomach acidity and bring temporary relief till you can take your medication. It’s important to be an advocate for your own health. Be an active learner about all health matters including the drugs you take. We can help you with this information.

Cawston wind howls like a coyote Inhaling leaves, exhaling air Suddenly, it stops As though holding its breath, and then Like the mighty bellow of a giant, Cawston wind starts blowing again. The howling goes on Swirling, whirling Leaves, litter, lost toys Dust, dirt, debris Suddenly alive with Cawston wind Cawston wind blows across the desert Churning, burning, twining soil into dust Like an angry genie Let out of its bottle. A child runs like a kite being pulled by the wind Chasing a ball, suddenly alive With the wind. Living ball, lost in the wind. By Stephanie Nasr Submitted by Shirley Oulten

Early years of the Kaleden Fire Department - Part two By Steve Arstad In March of 1972 a committee, chaired by Bert Hall and residents who had a financial interest in the 1942 Chev fire truck, met to see if they could reactivate the fire department. It was decided that a department would have to be supported by taxpayers in order to survive, and another referendum was held. A news circular was sent out to all residents explaining the Kaleden Fire Protection proposal, which involved borrowing $32,000 over ten years through the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen. The May 13, 1972 referendum was 77 per cent favourable, and the Kaleden Fire Protection Area was formed. Bert Hall was appointed Chairman to implement the referendum, and the RDOS would acquire all real estate, equipment, etc., and lease it to the brigade. In June 1972 the department was registered with the Registrar of Companies with a new constitution and bylaws and under the Societies Act became the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department. With Bert Hall as Chairman, Erle Gardiner as Fire Chief, and 14 volunteers they began the task of build-
ing the department. Equipment that met the Fire Marshall’s minimum standards was ordered and plans for a fire hall were put out to tender. The RDOS authorized the purchase of the ‘42 Chev four by four from the former Skaha West Fire Department. A number of residents gave firefighting a try and ultimately, a number of volunteers, including some women, made themselves available to take on the duties. Erle Gardiner was the department’s first chief and remained so until 1986. Garry Sharpe took on Deputy Chief’s duties, being replaced by Bob McKeever a few months later. He held the assistant chief postion until 1978. It was decided at the first organizational meeting to hold practices every Wednesday from 7 to 9 p.m. Practices to this day total 51 per year.

OBITUARY BELLAMY PAULINE LINDA, July 21, 1947 May 5, 2012:
Pauline was an amazing, unforgettable, loving, wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She passed away peacefully at her home in Keremeos, B.C. on Saturday Morning, May 5th, 2012. She is survived by her husband Allan, two sons and daughter-in-laws (Brad & Bobbie-Jo, Derek & Chelsea), three grandchildren (Mataya, Cole, Devon), brother and sister-in-law (Wally & Sam), her two sisters and brother-in-laws (Theresa & Ron, Barbara & Paul), her sister-in-law Lynda, mother-in-law Irene, nieces and nephews (Laurie, Michael, Chris, Dena, Julie, Andrew, Katie, Aaron, Kyler, Micheal Jr, and Landon). Pauline grew up in Cawston B.C. After graduating from Similkameen High School, she completed her hairdressing and practiced in Alberta and then B.C. In 1971 she met her future Husband, Allan Bellamy, and they married in July 1972, while Allan attended UBC, graduating in 1974 in Mining Engineering. They moved to Ashcroft, B.C. that year where Allan worked at Highland Valley. Bradley, their Àrst son, was born that same year. Derek, their youngest son, was born in 1978. Pauline was not only a busy mother raising her two boys, but she was also very involved with her Church and served with the Ladies Auxiliary in Ashcroft. With their boys, both Allan and Pauline were very dedicated ‘Hockey’ parents. In 1987 the Bellamy family moved to Keremeos and they bought Allan’s stepfather’s orchard and became farmers. Pauline enjoyed this lifestyle. She loved working in the garden and with Áowers. She deÀnitely had a green thumb. She worked for many years at Don and Anna’s Greenhouse where she was known as “Mother Pauline”. She was always a hardworking, strong, loving, nurturing woman. Between raising her two boys, helping Allan with the Orchard, and as a Head Deaconess and Sabbath School Secretary at her Seventh Day Adventist Church in Cawston B.C. Pauline always gave all she had and more to everyone who God brought into her life. As her motherin-law Irene says, “Anything you gave Pauline, she would turn around and give to someone else.” Pauline was a Grandmother to three beautiful grandchildren: Mataya (9yrs), Cole (7yrs), Devon (19mths), and one on the way. She adored and showered these babies with immense unconditional, unending, unforgettable love. She spent so much time on her hands and knees, playing and praying with and for them. She brought and taught them already so many of her God-given abilities and natural qualities, including love, kindness, selÁessness, joy, peace, fun, laughter, beauty and so much more. Pauline had a deep love for Christ. Her love came only from him and she lived for him and for others. She lived by the words of the Bible in every way. One verse she lived by and would want you all to know is: “Your Heavenly Father already knows all your needs, and he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the kingdom of God your primary concern. So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” Matthew 6:3234. Pauline knew God understood what she was going through and it was time to let her suffer no longer. She left this earthly world praying to her Heavenly Father whom she is with for eternity. From Pauline’s “Bible Promise Book”; God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” Hebrews 13:5 ( and he never did, he saved her from her suffering) I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me. Psalm 13:5-6 (Pauline’s trust) Pauline we love you always. You were (and will remain) the heart of our family. You truly had a heart of gold and were always there for each and every one of us. You have blessed us with your presence and unconditional love. Our lives have been made better by having had you in them. You will be missed more than you could ever imagine, but we are comforted in knowing that you are in a better place. The Lord your God has blessed you in everything you have done. He has watched your every step. In honor of Pauline Bellamy, we invite all her friends and family to join with us in a celebration of her life and in saying our farewells: Saturday May 12th, 2012, 2:00 pm @ the Cawston hall, proceeding to the Cawston cemetery, Ànishing back at the Cawston Hall for refreshments and snacks. Thank you all for your prayers, love, and support.
