Okanagan College brings trades to Keremeos Mobile trailer provides hands on experience in the trades to all interested members of the community By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Okanagan College brought samples of their trades programs to Similkameen Elementary Secondary School last Wednesday, May 9. The college’s new mobile trailer hauled their welding autobody paint simulators, and other pieces of equipment to Similkameen Elementary Secondary School where students had an opportunity to sample the trades without attending the college on their own. “This is a new program, and we encourage all interested residents of the Similkameen to come out and experience the trades,” said Okanagan College Regional Skills Coordinator Diane Holm. “SESS was our second location this year,”she said of the mobile unit. “It provides an opportunity to provide “hands on” activities at the community level. It’s a very popular idea, in great demand.” Holm said the younger grades (six - seven) at SESS seemed to be particularly keen participants of the event. “I was really pleased with that,” she said. “It really does provide students with a first hand idea as to what the trades are all about.” Trades demonstrated included: Aircraft Maintenance Engineering; Construction; Plumbing; Electrical; Automotive and Heavy Duty Mechanics. A Culinary Arts instructor also provided food demonstrations, and the RV department brought along a “toybox trailer” to give a close up look at what it takes to be an RV Service Technician.

2.9 million resurfacing contract for Highway 3 west of Keremeos Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure Four projects valued at $13 million will get underway this year, improving safety and travel for residents, visitors and commercial drivers on Highway 3 in the West Kootenay, Similkameen and Upper Fraser Valley. Of particular interest to Lower Similkameen residents, one of the projects will involve almost 20 kilo-
metres of Highway 3 between Hedley and Keremeos slated for resurfacing; shoulder improvements will also be made. The total value of the work is estimated at $2.9 million, with a contract awarded to Green Roads Recycling Ltd. of Fernie for the resurfacing. A $3.7-million contract has been awarded to Emil Anderson Maintenance Co. Ltd. from Rosedale to
resurface portions of Highways 3 and 5 near Hope. This work includes resurfacing of the slow lane along Highway 3 between the Othello Interchange and Nicolum Creek Bridge, a distance of 4.8 km. In addition, new web cameras for the DriveBC network at the Highway 3/5 junction near Hope and on Highway 3 at Sunday Summit, will also be installed this year.

Canadians arrested off New Caledonian coast still unidentified Three Canadians facing serious drug charges in New Caledonia remain unidentified six weeks after arrest By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Rumour has it that three residents of the South Okanagan - Similkameen are tied to a major drug bust off the New Caledonian coast earlier this year. After more than five weeks in detention, there could also be a question of human rights infringement, as it appears that little is being done by French authorities to move three arrested Canadians through the French territory’s justice system. The arrest of the three Canadians made headlines throughout the South Pacific in early April after a press release was issued by the Australian Federal Police (AFP). On March 31, a vessel discovered sailing off the New Caledonian coast was boarded by New Caledonian authorities after receiving intelligence from U.S. and Australian security services. The vessel reportedly had been sailing “erratically” and its movements had been under scrutiny for months. Upon search of the vessel, 200 kilograms of cocaine, with a reported street value ranging from $70 - $200 million, was found. The three Canadians have been charged with a range of offences. In Sydney, Australia, the Canadian consulate is currently working through Australian diplomatic channels to provide consular assistance to the trio, who could face stiff sentences if tried under French law in New Caledonia. Members of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) had apparently been watching the vessel for several weeks. The seizure was part of a joint international effort known as “operation Saba,” on the part of the U.S. DEA, the Armed Forces in New Caledonia, (FANC) and the Australian Federal Police.
The boat, which was not registered, allegedly left a port in South America. On March 31, the vessel was located off the north west coast of New Caledonia where it was intercepted by a New Caledonian military vessel and a helicopter. The 200-kilogram shipment of cocaine represents the largest drug New Caledonian Ministry of Defense bust in New Caledonian history, and the joint operation Three as yet unidentified (faces are pixelated in photo) Canadians are shown is considered climbing aboard a New Caledonian military vessel after being arrested off to be a major the island’s coast in late March. coup for anti fused to identify the three.

Keremeos council news
No Covere! Charg
By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Keremeos Village Council had to deal with a lengthy agenda of correspondence at the May 7 village council meeting. Keremeos Community Church made their annual request to position a tent in Memorial Park on the Victoria Day long weekend in order to host a “Cowboy Church” service on Sunday, May 20. The request was granted. Council received a letter, post event, from Valley First Credit Union. Upon request, council agreed to proclaim May as National Missing Children’s Month and Missing Children’s Day. Letters were also received regarding the proposed reservoir and from Minister of Finance Kevin Falcon regarding the expert panel review of business taxation and municipal revenue sources. FortisBC advised the village that they would be providing the Elks with a $1,000 secondary prize following the efforts the village put towards the Earth Hour Challenge. The Keremeos Seniors Centre will proceed with kitchen renovations following receipt of a grant from the New Horizons program. The centre wished to begin work now in order to have the work completed by March of 2013. A letter from Colleen Christensen, Manager of Similkameen Country, presented a request for $250 from council in order to offset personal costs related to expenditures for the Rick Hansen 25th anniversary relay event. Council unanimously turned down the request. Elks rodeo made a request to council for an $800 donation to the 2012 rodeo ladies barrel racing event, which council approved. Council also approved a request for barricades along the Seventh Avenue parade route on Monday, May 21. Council adopted the 2012 tax rate bylaw on May 9 after advancing it for reading consideration at the May 7 meeting. The financial plan for 2012 was adopted on May 7, as were zoning bylaws related to bringing village property into zoning compliance. A program that the village has entered into with the Keremeos Irrigation District will see village staff give away free energy saving kits to residents of the area who apply at the village office. Old fixtures can be turned in to the village office to be collected by a local company for recycling. The program starts on May 14. Bylaws given first, second and third readings included: - tax rate bylaw for 2012. - freedom of information bylaw (update of existing bylaw to conform to 2012 standards). - a bylaw repealing a duplicate road closure bylaw ( housekeeping initiative). There were no members of the public present in the gallery at the May 7 meeting. Council adjourned to closed session after the public meeting.

THE REVIEW Publisher: Mark Walker 605 7th Ave, Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial Summer weather brings on bad habits As we finally get an early taste of summer with a couple of heat waves already being experienced this spring, the streets and highways of the region are starting to show signs of more recreational use - in the form of increasing amounts of trash lining the roads. Bicyclists appear to be some of the worst offenders when it comes to slovenly behaviour on our public motorways. Discarded water bottles and tire tubes can be seen in increasing amounts along the popular cycle routes of Highway 97, 3 and 3A. It’s ironic that many of those tossing their tubes see themselves as fitness efficient environmentalists, who use pedal power rather than fossil fuels to get around. We’d be interested in hearing the excuse as to why someone could pedal down the highway with a spare tube, yet not be able to carry the dead one home after changing a flat. What’s really scary is the number of liquor and discarded beer containers piling up in the region’s ditches. It’s enough to make one wonder if anyone is driving sober these days. Hopefully, what we are seeing is coming from the passenger seat of the vehicle. At any rate, it’s time to grow up a bit and accept responsibility for the waste one produces, whether moving down the road or not. Not every bike ride is a race - the actions that apply in getting from point A to point B, whether the ride is a training exercise, a commute or a leisurely cruise shouldn’t result in somebody else having to pick up your trash.

B.C. Ferry fleet sails into storm By Tom FLetcher Black Press The B.C. government has rolled out its plan to reform BC Ferries, continuing the structural and cultural shift that started when the Crown corporation was quasi-privatized in the early years of B.C. Liberal rule. Politically, there is a lot at stake here. Premier Christy Clark’s year-long “families first” routine boils down to two projects, reining in rate increases at BC Hydro and BC Ferries. For weeks, Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom has been signaling there is bad news to come. Sparring with the NDP in question period, he has bluntly and repeatedly said the days of fully staffed vessels sailing with a third (or less) of their capacity are coming to an end. Tabling legislation to give the ferry commissioner new powers over service levels as well as fares, Lekstrom revealed $80 million worth of sugar to help the
tough medicine go down over the next four years. That’s on top of the $150 million annual subsidy. Quadra Island politician Jim Abram was first out with the predictable view of the Gulf Islands elite, dismissing this sum as paltry. It’s difficult to capture how self-centred and insulting this is, but I’ll try. Consider that the B.C. transportation ministry spent $460 million last year on highway operations. That’s for the province’s entire vast, weather-battered road network. This year’s operating subsidy to coastal ferries is approaching $200 million, nearly half of that. And increasingly, it goes to subsidize getaways for those who choose isolation for its own sake. Basic financial information also exposes the falsity of NDP ferry critic Garry Coons’ one-note critique. It’s part of the highway system, he constantly says, comparing empty ferries with empty roads while ignoring the mandatory ferry staff and other costs.
This fiscal-fantasy policy implies another huge increase in subsidy, much of it a transfer from working people to the idle rich who can afford Gulf Islands real estate. Coons can’t say how much, probably because he has no idea. A key legislative change will allow BC Ferries to use revenues from its profitable main routes to subsidize little-used runs. This would be even more important if those revenues hadn’t been squandered. And no, I’m not talking about the “fast ferries.” The story is detailed in “Head On!”, a 2004 book by former B.C. deputy highways minister R.G. Harvey. He describes how the Mike Harcourt government completed the “gross error” of building a new terminal at Duke Point, near Nanaimo. This run was to take truck and other traffic from congested Horseshoe Bay to the mid-Island from Tsawwassen. An alternative route from Richmond to Gabriola Island, with bridges
to Vancouver Island, had been quietly scuttled after the W.A.C. Bennett government was defeated by the NDP’s Dave Barrett in 1972. On a map, it’s clear this would have been the shortest route. Harvey says it would have cut travel time by half, and likely replaced the congested Horseshoe Bay dock. But Barrett would have had to tell his Nanaimo ferry union supporters that they were losing half their work hours. Tsawwassen to Duke Point is 65 km, compared to 54 km from Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay. A ferry worker’s shift includes two round trips and loading time. On the Duke Point run this meant at least eight and a half hours, “thus ensuring the crew at least one hour at double time daily and often more,” Harvey writes. “Later it became a scheduled overtime route.” Something to keep in mind as Adrian Dix and his crew of union bosses prepare to take the helm.

Feds need to pay attention to food policy To the Editor, It’s clear the food on your family’s plate is not a priority for this federal government. In fact, just this week Canada earned the embarrassing distinction of being the first developed country in the world to have its food supply investigated by the United Nations (UN). Previously the UN’s food envoy only visited developing countries. But because too many Canadians, including many Aboriginal communities, do not have access to nutritious food and clean water, the UN felt the need to investigate. It is shameful that in a country as wealthy as Canada there are over two million Canadians who go hungry each year. This is a stunning indictment of the failure of Stephen Harper’s Conservatives on food
security. Food security has not been a priority of this government. And it shows. Not only is Canada the only nation in the developed world without a national food strategy, the Harper Conservatives are now making deep cuts to food inspection and food safety. Without leadership from the top, there will come a time when Canadians can’t trust the food that’s on grocery store shelves. Right now, too many Canadians are going hungry because they do not have access to healthy, affordable food. This is an international embarrassment for Canada. It is our national shame. And it will be Stephen Harper’s legacy if he continues to ignore it. Yours sincerely, Lise St-Denis, MP, Liberal Party of Canada
New “online safety” resource for parents and kids To the Editor: “Kids are plugged in, turned on and tuned out for the equivalent of a forty-five hour work week, every week,” according to parenting expert Barbara Coloroso. As Internet use grows and children of a younger age are discovering websites dedicated to social media, building a culture of online safety is becoming more challenging, and more important. Children, including teens, are more likely today to be bullied or to encounter predatory “strangers” online than in person. And children are not just the ones at risk; they are also sometimes the abusers. A new “iSMART” safety brochure is available now from the RCMP. Three versions of the brochure – for ages 10-
12, 13-16, and parents – are being distributed locally by PVPP, the Lower Similkameen’s Proactive Violence Prevention Project. The kids’ versions will be given to each child ages 10-16 in school. The parents’ version is available for pick-up from the RCMP detachment front desk, at 2920 Highway 3, across from Hilltop Esso. Parents are encouraged to mention the brochure to their children, and to review it with them when they bring their copy home from school. PVPP, initiated cooperatively by Lower Similkameen Community Services and our local RCMP detachment, is a valley-wide “grassroots” project endorsed by thirty local businesses and organizations. It’s motto is “Safety in our communities, safety in our homes.”

Have governments learned the lessons of the Green Power fiasco? By Gwyn Morgan Columnist, Troy Media A recent study, conducted by respected energy economist Gerry Angevine for the Fraser Institute, found that Ontario residents will pay an average of $285 million more for electricity each year for the next 20 years as a result of subsidies to renewable energy companies. By the end of 2013, Ontario household power rates will, with exception of PEI, be the highest in North America and will continue to accelerate while most other jurisdictions see rates level off. Even more alarming for the province’s economic competitiveness, businesses and industrial customers will be hit by almost $12 billion in additional costs over the same period. “Feed-in” rates very expensive Such is the legacy of the provincial government’s 2009 decision to establish “feed-in” rates ranging from 80.2 to 44.5 cents per kilowatt-hour (Kwh) for solar power and 13.5 cents/Kwh for wind power. These solar feed-in rates average 11 times the 5.6 cents/Kwh paid for nuclear and 18 times the 3.5 cents/Kwh for hydro generated power. The wind power rates are more than twice as high as nuclear and four times those of hydro. Besides the enormous direct cost of these huge subsidies, there’s also a big hidden cost for expensive fossil-fueled standby facilities because the wind doesn’t always blow and the Ontario sun certainly doesn’t always shine. Faced with rising consumer reaction the provincial government recently announced modest feed-in rate reductions, but those do nothing to change the results of the Fraser study, since thousands of contracts already approved have been guaranteed these higher rates for the next 20 years.
Premier McGuinty has predicted that the subsidies will propel Ontario to world leading position in green power technology, creating thousands of jobs. Sadly, the Fraser study shows quite the opposite as the province’s already beleaguered manufacturing heartland sees a former electricity cost advantage transformed into a competitive millstone. Ontario isn’t the only place where grand green power dreams have turned into a nightmare. Several European countries began doling out subsidies nearly a decade ago. Germany has given away $130 billion, mostly to solar power companies. Yet solar power makes up a minuscule 0.3 per cent of German power supply, while doing virtually nothing towards the original objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Last February, Germany’s Minister of Economics and Technology announced a pullback from green power subsidies stating that the cost was “a threat to the economy”. Spain also poured cash into solar and wind power subsidies with little to show for it except a $25 billion increase in this financially crippled nation’s debt. Meanwhile, British consumers have grown increasingly outraged over paying some $700 million a year in wind farm subsidies that produce less than 0.5 per cent of power demand. In the United States, green power companies have received more than US$4 billion to build wind farms as part of the Obama administration’s massive job stimulus program. A recent Wall Street Journal investigation found that the projects created a total of 7,200 temporary construction jobs at cost of US$600, 000 per job, and 300 permanent jobs at a whopping US$14 million per job. The Administration also awarded grants continued on page 21

news The 29th Annual Mother’s Day Walk for Peace saw a raucous piece of street theatre performed by members of the Kelowna Peace Group. The player’s topics stretched from the Athabaska tar sands to The war on terror in a colourful romp before American and Canadian peace activists at their annual gathering at the border. About 100 people turned out for the annual event at the Osoyoos Oroville border crossing.

Teach kids to appreciate food - grow a gardener Spring is the ideal time to promote your child’s curiosity about the natural world through gardening By Linda Boyd Community Nutrionist, Interior Health Do your kids think peas come from a bag in the freezer? Do they know potatoes grow underground? Could they recognize a carrot growing if they saw the green tops poking out of the soil? A lot of parents and grandparents are realizing many of today’s children are growing up without an understanding of where their food really comes from. Perhaps you are a seasoned gardener or someone who has just started thinking about getting your hands dirty. I don’t have a lot of gardening experience myself, but I do try to grow a few things each year so my kids can appreciate how food is grown. Whatever your gardening experience may be, spring has sprung and now is the perfect time to think about planting and growing with your children. Young children have a natural curiosity about the world around them and gardening is a perfect way to tie in valuable lessons like patience - as they wait for vegetables to grow, responsibility - as they take over watering duties and the value of healthy eating – as children are often more enthusiastic about
trying vegetables they have grown themselves. Gardening doesn’t necessarily require a plot of land or hours of weeding. Gardening can happen in containers on a balcony or patio. In fact, many garden plants such as herbs, lettuce, radishes, and tomatoes do very well in containers. Raised beds can eliminate the need for weeding and are great for compact spaces. Try the square foot garden method and give your child a square of their own to care for. This popular method teaches gardening skills without being overwhelming. Watching a plant grow from a seed is like magic for young children, but slow germination rates can be trying for even the most patient child. Plant a mixture of seeds and potted plants to help keep their interest. Sunflowers and beans are fast growing plants from seed. My son started a sunflower from a seed at preschool last year and was absolutely amazed at how tall it grew; he was so proud to share the seeds with all of his little friends. If you lack suitable space to garden at home, consider renting a plot at a community garden. Involving your kids in a community garden exposes them to an amazing variety of vegetables grown by many different gardeners. Kids and parents involved with community gardens also benefit from the wisdom of other gardeners. Connect with your local food action committee, community or
health centre to find out if there is a community garden near you. If you have a child in school, ask if there is interest in starting a school garden. Planning for a school garden can start now and carry over into the fall so that the school garden will be ready to plant next spring. For information on school gardens see http:// healthyeatingatschool.ca/. These websites can help you and your kids start gardening: http://urbanext.illinois.edu/firstgarden/ and http://www.kidsgardening.org/

Travel, fun, new experiences in new places, a few days in paradise. Is that your definition of the perfect vacation? Whatever your vacation dream might be, there’s one reality that will make it even better, you can help avoid the post-vacation remorse of mega-margarita debt by planning for the best vacation you can afford before you go. Here’s how. Save now, go later. By saving for travel, accommodation and other vacation costs ahead of time, you can leave your credit cards alone and avoid big, long-term, high-interest bills at home. • Pay yourself first. A simple saving strategy and one of the best, whether you’re saving for a vacation, retirement, or anything else, for that matter. All it takes is the discipline to set aside a portion of your pay as soon as it comes in. A good rule of thumb is to choose an amount you can comfortably afford, either a fixed-dollar amount or a percentage of your income, for example 3 percent, that you set aside each pay period. • Get the most out of your savings. You could leave your savings in a low-interest bank account or better yet you could move your savings into investments that generate higher rates of return. o Money Market Mutual Funds offer competitive returns, can usually be redeemed in a matter of days. o Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) or Term Deposits can be a good choice if your vacation is a long way off and you can commit your cash for a fixed term at a typically higher interest rate. o Government Savings Bonds are usually cashable at any time but only available within a limited period each year. If your employer offers an automatic purchase program for savings bonds, that’s a variation on the pay yourself first strategy that could work for you. o Tax-free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) are a savings option that deliver tax-free savings growth and immediate access to your money without a tax penalty. When you save before your vacation, you may
MANAGING Your Money also save on your vacation, for example, taking advantage of last-minute travel bargains and purchasing travellers cheques before you leave so you can leave your high-interest credit cards in your pocket and avoid cost-added automated teller machines. Your professional advisor knows all about the pay yourself first and other financial planning strategies that’ll get you to your own perfect vacation and other life goals without incurring high-interest bills when you get home.

to make this event a success,” he said, handing Mayor Thielmann a symbolic relay medal.
Levchuk spoke of the advances in spinal cord research in the past 25 years, saying “The best work is
ahead of us in the next 25 years as we push forward in spinal cord research and increase accessibility.”
Several residents who were around for the original Rick Hansen tour 25 years ago were on hand to cel-
ebrate the anniversary. Residents included former Mayors Francis Peck and Walter Despot, Joe Reichert,
and former Master of Ceremonies (who also served as MC during the anniversary event) Alan Thom.
By Steve Arstad The Review The Rick Hansen 25th anniversary relay passed through Cawston and Keremeos on Wednesday. May 9. Seventeen “medal bearers” took part in the relay through the two Lower Similkameen communities. Although a bit windy, the weather was otherwise seasonable for the event, which brought dozens of residents out into the streets to watch the relay pass. In Cawston, throngs of residents and school students lined --- to watch and participate. In Keremeos, the relay began at Similkameen Elementary Secondary School, headed down Highway 3 to Seventh Street, where it proceeded down to Twelfth Avenue, stopping briefly at Mountain View Manor before finishing up for a lunch break at Memorial Park. Relay participants carried the medal for a 250 metre stretch through urban areas on the route across Canada. Long distance medal bearers carried it in between the communities. Acting Mayor Gary Thielmann addressed a crowd of fifty or so onlookers, describing the changes that have taken place in Keremeos that have made the village more accessible. L o w e r Similkameen Indian Band Chief Rob Edwards welcomed the group to the Lower Similkameen, prior to Rick Hansen Relay Director Jamie Levchuk addressing the crowd. He thanked the community for the support shown, describing the turnout in Keremeos as “fantastic.” “Six hundred communities across Canada have stepped up
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.

The number of working-age Canadians per senior is decreasing, placing additional pressure on the OAS program.

Roller Derby is not what it used to be - at least, that’s what they say By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The night (you know) that I fell in love with a Roller Derby Queen The meanest hunk o’ woman That anybody ever seen Down in the arena She is a five foot six and two fifteen A bleached-blonde mama with a streak of mean She knew how to knuckle And she knew how to scuffle and fight And the roller derby program said That she were built like a ‘fridgerator with a head The fans called her “Tuffy” But all her buddies called her “Spike” - Jim Croce, Roller Derby Queen, 1972
owned and operated all-girl, flat-track roller derby league based out of Penticton.The not for profit group states that its mission is “to create, promote and sustain a competitive Roller Derby league in Penticton and surrounding communities while promoting the sport of roller derby and the bad ass babes that play.” The modern day version of roller derby requires seven or eight referees and a thorough knowledge of the rule book in order to excell. At McLaren Park, the oval “flat track”was placed in the centre of the rink, extending to about midway into each end of the rink’s offensive zones. Perhaps the participants’ names best conjures up what one might expect to see at a roller derby - noting such monikers on the Penticton team as Bliss- Krieg, BlueBelle Bruise-Her, RuckusDoll and R Skullywag. Saturday’s contest was a pleasing one for the home town crowd, as the Pistoleras prevailed after falling behind initially, coming back to win in the late stages of the bout.
“It’s not like the old roller derby,” said the MC of the May 12 “Cherry Cherry Bang Bang” roller derby event at McLaren Park arena in Penticton. She was referring to the ‘70’s version of the sport, which took a hiatus over the past two decades or so. Judging by the turnout at last Saturday’s event, roller derby appears to be making a comeback, as a reasonably sized crowd of 100 or so turned out to watch the local team Photo by Steve Arstad Penticton Pistoleras skate against the Revelstoke Dereailers.

HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK XERISCAPING Used with permission of Friends of Summerland Ornamental Gardens -- All rights reserved. Continued from last week...
Design The objective here is to work out a strategy that will be defined by hydro-zones. This concept is based on the idea of a water budget. Over all you are going to reduce water consumption, as compared to the traditional garden, but the savings will not be uniformly applied. Think of an oasis. Establish a core area in the garden where water use is highest. This could be a lawn, or an outdoor space surrounded by lush plantings. This area uses plants that are medium in water demand. Usually this area is located close to the house for convenience, for visibility from the house and for the cooling affect it will have on the house in summer. Extending out from this mini-oasis there is a transitional zone that relies on plants with low water demand. And extending further is the driest zone. In this zone you will use native and similar plants adapted to our arid climate. PRACTICAL TURF AREAS Kentucky Bluegrass lawns are heavy water users. To be water efficient, the lawn should be planted only where it is functional, such as in a play area. Lawns and turf grass shouldn’t be treated as a fill-in or groundcover material. Rather it should be planned to serve a practical purpose: Providing a resilient, soft and cooling surface for active play or seating areas. For all the other applications there are better choices. Alternatives to turf grass lawns include water efficient grasses, groundcovers and shrubs as well as mulched areas, decks and paved surfaces. Where a neat trimmed look of grass is desired, but the durability of a turf type lawn isn’t needed, other grasses, such as Buffalograss, Blue Grama Grass and Crested Wheatgrass require minimal irrigation and mowing. For naturalized grass areas there are reclamation seed mixes suitable for hydroseed application. These are mixed in a slurry containing water, seed, mulch, fertilizer and green colouring and are sprayed on the ground. Application is done when weather is favorable for germination (late fall or early spring) No irrigation or mowing is needed. Where lawns are needed, provide topsoil to a depth of 15 cm (5 to 6 inches ) This will allow for deep rooting. With an established lawn, water thoroughly but less frequently to maintain the deep roots needed for a healthy, drought tolerant lawn. Mowing height and fertilizing also effect root development. APPROPRIATE PLANT SELECTION Appropriate Plant Selection Always group plants together according to their needs for water, sun and soils. By grouping plants with similar water needs together in zones you can use water more efficiently. There is a large range of xeriscape plants available offering year round interest. As you begin to make plant selections you’ll want to take into account the differences between the cool, shady north and east sides of the house and the hot, sunny south and west exposures. All plants require regular watering until they are established. Moderate Watering Zone This is the mini-oasis that uses the most water and typically is the high activity area close to the house. Often it is comprised of a small area of lawn (high water use) balanced by patios and paving that need no water. Ornamental planting in this zone requires moderate amounts of irrigation. Even though this zone uses the most water of a xeriscape, it still demands less than the traditional approach. Low Watering Zone Growing plants in this zone requires more water than is available from natural precipitation. During the period of establishment these plants will need frequent irrigation but ultimately they will use small amounts of irrigation during dry periods. Very Low Watering Zone Very low watering zones rely on naturalized plantings closely matched ecologically to the environment so that they flourish with minimum encouragement and care. These plants need water (and weeding) while they get established but after this the water is turned off. SOIL IMPROVEMENT Soils of the Okanagan Region are characterized as mineral in type. This means that they tend to have low organic matter content. Whether your soil is sand, silt or clay it will benefit from the addition of organic matter. Before you begin planting it is important to amend the soil. Soil containing organic matter can retain more water and make the water more available to plants. Since plants with healthy and deep extensive roots are better adapted to withstand drought stress, it is important that the organics be dug deep into the soil. The best soil amendments are aged manure and compost. Most cities and municipalities produce a screened compost material for sale. Other forms of Organic Matter are aged bark and wood chips: these require the application of nitrogen fertilizer. Article to be continued next week.

Where are we?
Throughout history, one of the great driving forces for increasingly precise astronomical observations has been the need to improve navigation. Even with GPS the astronomy is still there, but it is now deeply buried in the system, so we don’t notice it. The earliest seafarers found their way by following the coast. If storms or tides took them out of sight of land, they could be in serious trouble. However, our ances-
tors were also astronomers, and it was the astronomers who provided solutions. They noticed that there is one particular star, named Polaris, in the northern sky that seems fixed, while all the other stars circle around it each day. That is because Polaris is almost directly overhead at the North Pole, so does not move as the Earth rotates. For us at lower latitudes, it is a beacon telling us which way is north. The star is called the Pole Star because it is overhead at the North Pole and the North Star because it tells us which way is north. Polaris also tells us our latitude. We just measure how many degrees the Pole Star is above the northern horizon and we have
our latitude. This provides a nice, convenient navigation technique. Say we want to sail from Bristol, England (latitude 51.5 degrees) to Halifax, Nova Scotia (latitude 44.6 degrees). So we set out sailing in a south-westerly direction until the Pole Star tells us we are at the latitude of Halifax, and then we sail westward. Every night we make sure the Pole Star is 44.6 degrees above the northern horizon. We then keep sailing west until Halifax appears ahead of us. One problem with this is that you don’t know when you will arrive until you do. It is very hard to know your speed. If there are off-shore rocks or shoals and you reach them in the middle of the night, this could be very inconvenient. We need to know our
longitude, that is, how far around the Earth we are compared with our home port. There is no easy way to get that from observing the stars alone. The Earth rotates one turn - 360 degrees - each day. That is fifteen degrees an hour, and a quarter of a degree a minute. This means we can use time to determine our longitude. We have agreed internationally that the zero degrees of longitude line passes through the Royal Greenwich Observatory in the U.K. If we have a precise clock, we can set it to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), now called Universal Time (UT). Then, each day as we travel, we measure the time local noon happens. Each degree we move will fi nd local noon coming four minutes later than noon in Greenwich. Halifax is 63.6 degrees west of Greenwich, so when we see local noon coming 4h, 14 min-
utes later than Greenwich noon, as shown by our clock, we start scanning our horizon for our destination. Even in these days of GPS, we need a backup, so keeping those navigation clocks accurate is critically important. That is why we have time standard radio stations like Canada’s CHU, Britain’s MSF, or America’s WWV. Next time you hear, “At the Beginning of the Long Dash”, imagine all those navigators checking their clocks. Venus still dominates the western sky after sunset. Mars is high in the South; Saturn is in the eastern sky. The Moon will be new on the 20th.

DEMENTIA NOT ONLY THE AGED Dementia isn’t always a disease of the aged. Evidently, brain function starts to decline at the age of 45. Many risk factors that may contribute to dementia later in life, can occur in middle age. These include high cholesterol, obesity and high blood pressure. So taking care of your body and your brain in your middle years may stave off dementia in the later years. EARLY DIAGNOSIS IMPORTANT Early diagnosis is important in many diseases and doctors are hoping for success in studies being carried out to find a “biomarker” in the blood that would indicate dementia may be brewing. One biomarker has already been found that predicts low oxygen in the brain. This is an early indicator of dementia. More work is to be done but the future is looking brighter for early diagnosis of dementia.

news Have gov’ts learned the lessons of green power? / continued from page 7 and loan guarantees to solar power companies with pretty rickety business plans. Last September, California based Solyndra LLC sought bankruptcy protection after receiving U.S. $535 million in federal loan guarantees to build a new solar panel factory. And, earlier this month, Solar Trust filed for bankruptcy after failing to meet the terms a US $2.1 billion federal loan guarantee to build what was to be the world’s largest solar power generation plant. A perfect storm It’s not only power consumers and taxpayers who have been hit by the green power mania. In a February 24 article headlined “Perfect storm hits green energy stocks”; the Globe and Mail reported that 10 wind and solar equipment makers in China, India, Europe and the U.S. have seen the price of their shares collapse by 86 to 98 per cent since 2008; as a combination of ineffectual environmental benefit, escalating
power costs and debilitating government deficits drive a precipitous drop in the outlook for green power subsidies. The lessons of the green power debacle are clear: for governments, forcing consumers and taxpayers to subsidize any business almost always leads to economic damage and political unpopularity; for investors, companies living on government subsidies will die when they stop.

Have something to sell?
Expansion of Kaleden fire hall continues through 1990’s By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Property for the Kaleden fire hall on Lakehill Road was purchased from resident Fred King for $6,000. The site was chosen because it made response time from the top of Lakehill much faster. Some work was contracted in the building of the firehall; as much work as could be done was performed using volunteer labour. The building was complete enough for the trucks to be moved in on Oct. 25, 1972. No provisions had been made
at the time for meeting quarters, so a loft was eventually constructed at the back end of the fire hall. The loft remains in use as office space to this day. Expansion in 1978 added a third bay to the hall at a cost of $12,000, with funds coming from the equipment budget and a loan from the RDOS. The roof of this bay was designed to support a second storey. Additions to personnel, equipment and the constant need to train necessitated the construction of a larger meeting room, to be attached to the back of the existing building. In the fall of
1981, a 1,000 square foot room was built from firefighters’ fund raising efforts and volunteer labour. The need to maintain hundreds of feet of fire hose necessitated the construction of the hose tower in 1982.Marchant Construction was hired for that task. In 1991, the addition of a water tender to the department added a fourth truck to the fire hall’s rolling stock. Another full length bay was constructed in 1992, and the last hall construction project took place in 1996, when office space in the loft of bay one was expanded.

Water works with Jeremy - part one, 2012 Contributed by Jeremy Auger-Patry Now that summer is rolling in finally, the Keremeos Irrigation District (KID) has re-hired its blond haired enforcer of the daytime water restrictions. My name is Jeremy Auger-Patry and I am back for my third and final year as the KID’s water program coordinator. The watering restrictions are the same as in the past two years; no watering between the hours of 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., one sprinkler can then be used for every quarter acre based on the size of your property. Automatic sprinkler systems must be set to operate from 12 a.m. to 6 a.m. Hand watering with a hose nozzle attachment is permitted anytime. Agricultural users who have an irrigation connection are currently exempt from the restrictions. I will be patrolling Keremeos properties to make sure that everyone is abiding

The Review, Thursday, May 17, 2012 — Page 27
The Next Generation of the Review Dear Reader, Thank you for choosing the Review as your trusted source of in-depth local news and information. 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. We value every one of our readers and appreciate the trust you have placed in us. We look forward to serving you. If you have questions, please look at our guide to Frequently Asked Questions. 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.
