Keremeos Volunteer Firefighters, BC Ambulance personnel, and RCMP attended an incident on the rooftop of the Red Bridge Pub on Monday, May 28. A worker doing annual maintenance on the building’s air conditioning units reportedly fell from a ladder, suffering undetermined injuries. In photo, firefighters assist ambulance personnel in getting the man off the roof.
Regional hospital chair urges local support for hospital expansion By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Okanagan Similkameen Regional Hospital Board Chair Janice Perrino brought the RDOS directors up to date with respect to the proposed Penticton Regional Hospital Patient Care Tower at the May 17 regional district board meeting. The Penticton Regional Hospital Patient Care Tower consists of a four storey building and a five storey parkade which will contain a UBC medical
school, ambulatory care clinics, surgery suites, wellness centre clinics and a roof top helipad. The parkade will provide 429 parking spaces, connecting to the tower on three levels. Perrino told the board that the concept plan document would be completed by June, with a final submission for the project to the Ministry of Health slated for this fall and winter season. “Penticton Regional Hospital is grossly undersized,” Perrino told the directors. “The community must be made aware of this - we must tell our
MLA’s, the Minister of Health and the Premier that it’s time for this project to take place - we must have this expansion, we must go forward. Co-hospital Chair Gary Litke offered a recommendation “that the RDOS write to local MLA’s, the Ministry of Health, treasury board members and the province, renewing our commitment to construction of a patient care tower in Penticton and request, in the strongest possible terms, that it be given top priority in funding.” The recommendation carried unanimously.
During the first quarter of 2012, the Keremeos RCMP responded to 277 calls for service, compared with 227 calls during the first quarter of 2011 - a 22 per cent increase. Complaints relating to mischief and property damage have declined since the last quarter of 2011. In January, two males and one female were arrested and charged in connection with a series of vandalism reports which had taken place throughout the village between December 24, 2011 and January 13, 2012. The three are currently out on conditions awaiting court. Keremeos RCMP investigated two founded drug offences during the first quarter, both involving simple CDSA possession. A vehicle stopped by police after a license plate check revealed an outstanding warrant on the driver. A further search of the vehicle discovered 1.5 grams of crack cocaine and 25 percocets. The drugs were seized and the male driver was arrested. One three day Immediate Roadside Suspension and three 24 hour suspensions were issued for alcohol use while driving. The detachment made 33 foot patrols of the downtown area in the first quarter. A training session for a chapter of the restorative justice program in the community was cancelled in February due to lack of interest. There are no chronic nuisance offenders in the community at this time. Crime Stoppers received four tips relating to events in Keremeos in the first quarter.

Police meet business community members on one to one walkabout in downtown area By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer and local RCMP detachment commander Mike Gallgher are making the rounds to village businesses to speak to the proprietors about their business safety and criminal concerns. The collaborative effort is providing the community with a three way
partnership of dialogue and fact sharing that should prove beneficial to all involved. “Each business has different concerns when it comes to police related issues,” Bauer said of the one on one meetings, the first round of which took place on Thursday, May 24. “By meeting with each business owner on an individual basis, we are finding out what the individual concerns are, as well as, hopefully, being

able to offer helpful advice.” The personalized visits are also giving local merchants a chance to put “ a face to the name” in terms of becoming better acquainted with the local detachment commander. Bauer said he hopes to meet with each business in the village’s main business section over the next few weeks. The one on one meetings complement recent police efforts to make regular foot patrols of the downtown area.
Council hears from finance, policing and tourism delegations Contract for planning and subdivision services renewed with regional district will have lower base rate By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Keremeos Village Council dealt with no less than three delegations at the May 22 regular meeting of council. Michael Doherty and Jennifer Scott, representing the accounting firm of White-Kennedy, addressed council in order to present the 2011 financial statements, declaring everything to be in order. Corporal Mike Gallagher, detachment commander for the Keremeos RCMP presented council with the first quarter RCMP report. Gallaher noted that assaults, vehicle theft, theft from vehicles and mischief complaints were up in the first quarter. The handful of infractions in each category are so low in number that statistics have little real mean-
ing. As an example, assaults went from a total of six at the same time last year to eight this year. In another case, a rash of vehicle crimes in Cawston recently resulted in a tripling of vehicle thefts over last year - from one to three. Gallagher noted that none of the assaults occurred on the street - all were domestic in nature. In the singular case of a sexual assault, the charges were unfounded and the charges were dropped. “Word is out that the jail cells are open,” Gallagher told council, adding that those contemplating nuiscance crimes might be thinking twice now, knowing that a jail cell is now a lot closer than Penticton. Joan McMurray spoke to the board about the latest initiatives of the SVPS Tourism Advisory Committee (TAC), presenting to council the stage report for May. Council carried a recommendation to proclaim June 2 as “Access Awareness Day” in the village. Council also passed a recommendation regarding a policy for handling correspondence received by the village.The policy outlines
what is acceptable correspondence for inclusion in council meetings, and outlines who is responsible for receiving mail in the village office. Council renewed a contract with the regional district with respect to planning and subdivision services. The village contracts out such services to the regional district, the last contract dated January of 2007. There has been a slight increase in service fees ( Planning services to rise from $46.69 per hour to $47.50 per hour) as well as subdivision services ($49.07 to $52.50). The mimimum annual base rate has been reduced from $2,500 to $3,922, which will benefit the village’s bottom line. The approved 2012 budget for contracted planning services is $3,500. Council approved the recommendation to renew the contract. The upgraded Freedom of Information bylaw was adopted and a duplicate road closure bylaw was repealled, ending the public session of the meeting.

CORNER
The regional district board endorsed the sending of a letter to Provincial Minister Lekstrom expressing RDOS board support for a 176 signature petition signed by Okanagan Falls residents. The petition requests changes to to the main Highway 97 intersection in Okanagan Falls. Confusion over traffic right of way is a major issue with the crossroads, because through highway traffic heading south on Ninth Avenue is subject to yielding to traffic heading south through the intersection on Main Street. The configuration is confusing, because Main Street traffic south of the intersection is not through traffic. Area “D” Director Tom Siddon suggested a traffic circle might be a potential solution to issues at the intersection.
License of Occupation- Electoral Area “D” The board will make application to the Province of BC for a License of Occupation over the former Kettle Valley Railway right of way in Okanagan Falls. If the application is successful this will allow a corridor through Okanagan Falls via Crown Land. This will also provide safe access to Cedar Street in Okanagan Falls and eliminate the need to construct a bridge.

health The power of acceptance Truly the power of acceptance has little to do with agreement By LYNDSAY BLAIS Acceptance is often confused with being in agreement, in other words saying yes to something. If I accept my current circumstances, than I must be satisfied with the outcomes I’ve got…right? The opposite of acceptance is to be in resistance, saying NO to something. The ironic thing here is that we think we must fight against something if we want it to change, otherwise we are just raising the white flag, and acting like there is nothing we can do. I challenge you to look at this resistance with a critical eye…you may find out it isn’t really getting you the result you want. How much of your energy does it take to be against something? You know, arguing, fighting, commiserating about it, and telling everyone you see just how against the situation you are. All of this resistance takes up your time and your precious energy, and frankly, just creates more of the thing you are resisting in the first place. Have you heard the phrase “what you resist – persists”, the things you avoid dealing with directly, oftentimes grow and become a bigger deal, demanding even more of your time and attention because they have been ignored for so long! Truly the power of acceptance has little to do with agreement, we can accept that we weigh more than we would like to, it doesn’t mean we have to stay that way, we can accept that our relationships could use some work to make them more meaningful, but it doesn’t mean they don’t yearn for attention, we can accept that our bank account isn’t showing a positive balance, but it doesn’t mean it is doomed to stay that way…acceptance invites us to be present with what is, so we can get busy doing what needs to be done to get different results if that is what we truly desire. So instead of resisting what you would like to see as different…try accepting what is. If you acknowledge it and embrace it, you may even find the gift in the situation, a reason you are experiencing it in otherwords. From this more relaxed perspective see if you can come to a place of creative solution…at the very least, by virtue of accepting the situation for what it is, you free up your energy to think clearly and take inspired action in the direction you desire. Three key words to get you out of resistance…Stop – Look – Choose! Stop the auto-pilot…stop making up stories of what if’s and if only’s and get honest with yourself - if you feel like you are carrying more weight than you would like, get on a scale, have a look, how much do you weigh, and stop kidding yourself, evaluate your lifestyle habits…those habits created the body you currently inhabit, and once you are aware of them, you can change them. Look at the situation as neutral, it is what it is, feeling bad about it won’t change a thing, but it sure won’t motivate you to make healthy choices. Also take a look at the choices you have; in the example above, you have the choice to be more active, to eat different foods, to prepare in advance so you aren’t tempted when you are running behind and hungry in the middle of the day. You j will find you have more choices than you may have initially thought. Then choose (from among your real choices) the ones that will support you with your goals. Do you have an amount of weight you would like to lose? What kinds of choices would help you do that? With all of the energy you save from beating yourself up on a regular basis, (aka resistance) you can clearly see the choices that are in alignment with your goal, and you will find yourself with more resilience to choose healthy options more consistently. Be aware, that when you fall off the plan, (as we humans are known to do!) it is easy to go into resistance to that…this formula works with everything and anything! If you don’t follow your plan, accept the choices you made, and free yourself from the chains of the past, and simply allow yourself to choose again freely in this new moment. Acceptance does not mean you agree with the way things are and that you are happy about it…acceptance is a means towards acknowledging the truth of where you are – so you know where you are starting with your goal. The next step is moving toward that goal, one baby step at a time! Carpe diem! Seize the day!

BLOOD PRESSURE MEDS: PM OR AM?
Recently, the media have been reporting about taking some blood pressure medications at night rather than in the morning. Sometimes, if the medication is taken at night, the blood pressure may drop too low causing falls during a trip to the bathroom. This is something to be discussed with your doctor and pharmacist.
POISON IVY, POISON IVY...
Poison ivy: This skin problem is caused by brushing up against the plant which contains urushiol, an oily resin that causes painful itchy rashes of the exposed skin. Urushiol is found on the stem, leaves, and skin of the fruit of the plant. You can’t catch poison ivy from another person. You have to touch the resin. Treatment includes washing the area with cold water. Our pharmacists can help.
SHINGLES VACCINE
Shingles is a painful, blistering rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. There is a vaccine for those that have this virus in their system due to childhood exposure to chickenpox. Its rate of effectiveness is 55%...pretty good odds to prevent the pain and discomfort of shingles. See your doctor about this.
BREAST MILK BENEFICIAL
Breastfeeding is good for the baby and the mother. Human breast milk contains over 300 ingredients. These include white blood cells, interferon, antibacterial and antiviral agents. Breast milk is good for the baby’s developing immune system. Taking medications while breastfeeding can be worrisome to new mothers. Our pharmacists will be happy to advise you about what’s safe and what isn’t.

Linda Pillon and Debbie Vernon are preparing for a cross country bicycle trip in July to raise awareness of Mitochondrial disease.
Keremeos women are ready to roll Keremeos mother and daughter plan 4,200 kilometre bicycle journey to raise money and awareness of disease that took son’s life Linda Pillon and Debbie Vernon of Keremeos are preparing to take a very personal crusade to the nation’s highways this summer. The mother daughter team are about to embark on a 4,200 kilometre bicycle journey from Keremeos to Toronto to spread awareness about Mitochondial disease. “Our effort is called “Scott’s Ride,” Debbie said, commemorating the memory of Scott, (who was Debbie’s brother and Linda’s son) who died in 1985 at age 12, of the disease. “The medical profession knew little of the disease at the time,” Linda explained, her eyes misting at the recollection. “There is still no cure - the treatment consists mostly of a regimen of vitamins.” Scott was eventually diagnosed through a muscle biopsy, which was taken only a week before his death. “The disease is tough to diagnose, because the symptoms are so different for everyone,” Linda explained. In her late son’s case, the original diagnosis of a tumour resulted in a long and invasive surgery that proved negative on the tumour theory. The idea of a cross country bicycle trip began last year when Linda, wishing to do something to help MitoCanada raise funds to fight the disease, noticed that the organization engaged in athletic events to raise funds and awareness. “Scott loved biking,” Debbie explained.The two bought bikes and began training this past winter. They generally train for at least two hours a day as they prepare for their July 4 departure date. Debbie and Linda plan to camp most of the way, as all fundraising is intended to go to mitocanada. To this end a bank account - Scott’s Ride - has been set up to accept public donations for those wishing to offer their support. The account - located at the Keremeos branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce - is numbered 00760 / 75-39436. Debbie and Linda will also be hosting an info table set up at Valu Plus on June 2, starting at 10 a.m. Part of the tour’s route will go through Sarnia
in Southern Ontario, where the Pillons lived and where Scott is buried. At a planned pace of 140 kilometres a day, they hope to be in Toronto in a month. A Facebook page, also called Scott’s Ride, has been set up and will contain daily progress reports of the pair’s cycling odyssey. With the departure deadline fast approaching, Linda is hopeful that she will be ready to make the long distance ride, having spent many hours in front of the computer, mapping out the route. The registered nurse works in Orchard Haven, while Debbie works in the adjacent River Valley Lodge, and both only have a one month window in which to be away from work. “We are determined to do this,” Linda concluded with a laugh, “but at the same time I would hate to have to call up my boss to try and beg a few more days.” About Mitochondrial Disease Mitochondria are considered the “powerhouses” of cells and are responsible for creating more than 90 per cent of energy required to sustain life and support growth. Mitochondrial diseases result from failures of the mitochondria and appear to cause the most damage to cells of the brain, heart, liver, skeletal muscles, kidney and the endocrine and respiratory systems. Mitochondrial diseases are the result of either inherited or spontaneous mutations in mtDNA or nDNA. There is no cure for Mitochondrial disease. About MitoCanada MitoCanada is a registered charity that provides awareness and support, while also promoting the advancement of Mitochondrial disease research. Mito Facts: - Approximately one in 4,000 people have a Mitochondrial disease. - Mitochondrial disease affects both children and adults. - Symptoms can appear anytime in life. - The severity and symptoms varies significantly and affects everyone differently. - There is no cure; treatment consists of a vitamin cocktail and various therapies. - Mitochondrial diseases are inherited or caused by a point mutation before birth.

THE REVIEW Publisher: Mark Walker 605 7th Ave,Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial One on one intiative builds community relationships Last week, Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer and Keremeos RCMP Detachment Commander Mike Gallagher made the rounds of downtown businesses to talk about security and other policing issues. It was quite a revealing exercise, as each merchant had different concerns regarding policing issues with respect to their individual businesses. Not that crime is a big issue in the Lower Similkameeen. When a single individual, lingering in the valley for a few days or a week can have a profound affect on quarterly stats through the perpetration of one or two incidents, it’s more indicative of what isn’t going on, than what is. Which is good. Last week’s walkabout was more about building communication and dialogue, as well as providing an opportunity for the business community to get to know their local representatives, which in turn will help to build mutual respect and knowledge for the roles these people play in the community. The fact that merchants might have learned a few things about security and police methods, or that the local police now have a greater understanding as to how better to serve individual businesses, is a bonus. Last week’s morning of one on one sessions added up to an excellent initiative shown by local community leaders. By taking the time and effort to call on the business community, the mayor and Corporal Gallagher are building faith in the system, making everyone more comfortable in the process.

Scenes from the farm trenches By Tom Fletcher Black Press With ongoing pipeline and oil tanker skirmishes, and a hot summer for mining and logging still to come, the green war in B.C. shows no signs of slowing down. Things are already hot in the Fraser Valley, where the federal government’s change to the definition of fish habitat has opened a new front on the farms. Farmers briefly got into the public discussion by hauling a couple of cute calves into downtown Vancouver and staging a television-friendly demo in front of the federal fisheries office. They have been saying for decades that imposing salmon stream regulations on drainage ditches around their fields is impractical. Fraser Valley Conservative MPs Randy Kamp and Mark Strahl even had the nerve to meet with local mayors to hear their concerns about B.C.’s most productive farmland, without inviting self-appointed “activists.”
Arrayed against them is an environmental lobby whose deep green wing was defined by Marvin Rosenau, a former provincial biologist who now teaches “fish, wildlife and recreation technology” at BCIT. “Mark Strahl is leading the charge of eco-fascists intent on making the last dime off the backs of the last remnants of an absolutely spectacular ecosystem,” Rosenau told the Chilliwack Progress. “A massive and productive floodplain of fish and aquatic values … has been drained, ditched, tiled and laser-leveled for agricultural profit.” The same could be said for the broad fields of Richmond and Pitt Polder farms north of the Fraser, a wetland diked and drained by Dutch settlers after World War II. Farms are “industrializing the landscape,” said Rosenau, who stopped short of calling for them all to be shut down. At the provincial level we have a new Animal Health Act, which threatens heavy fines or even jail time for prematurely leaking reports of serious animal disease
outbreaks. This was also portrayed as a jack-booted sellout of the public’s right to know, putting the business interests of land and ocean farms ahead of public safety. Here’s what’s really happening. As is generally the case with meat inspection and livestock issues, the federal government is imposing rules on provinces in the wake of avian flu and “mad cow” outbreaks. Canadian beef was banned in 30 countries after a single infected cow was identified in Alberta in 2003. B.C. Agriculture Minister Don McRae assures me this legislation will not result in reporters or environmental activists being thrown in jail for telling the public about sick animals. They and the farmers themselves can say all they want, once infections are confirmed and quarantines established. McRae and Paul Kitching, B.C.’s chief veterinarian, pleaded for the public to understand that any farm reporting system must rely on voluntary compliance by farmers.
When the B.C. government took the advice of B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham and began releasing fish farm inspection data in 2010, the operators stopped providing samples voluntarily. The fish farmers’ position was that you can have a co-operative system of farm inspections or one that’s imposed, but not both. Imposing inspections on land farms across B.C.’s vast area is even less practical. FormerAlberta premier Ralph Klein famously observed that the next rancher to find a possible mad cow should have “shot, shoveled and shut up” rather than file a report and devastate the industry. Denham, the NDP and others appear to operate under an assumption that there should be sufficient government resources to sample and inspect every farm across B.C. for reportable contagious illnesses. This is similar to the fashionable notion that we should have enough park rangers to guard every cedar tree.

Search continues for missing woman To the Editor: Re: Twenty year old Madison Scott still missing as anniversary date looms. Unbelievably, my 20 year old niece, Madison Scott, remains missing after mysteriously disappearing on Saturday, May 28, 2011, from the Hogsback Lake forestry campsite 25 kilometres south of Vanderhoof, one hour west of Prince George. She was camping with a group of young people, new found friends, from Vanderhoof. The group was celebrating a friend’s birthday and at the end of the evening Maddy was left on her own in her tent. Everyone else left the party by about 4 a.m. Something happened between 4 - 8:30 a.m.that led to Maddy’s disappearance; foul play is suspected. Maddy remains missing despite a vigorous and in depth RCMP investigation and ongoing efforts by family and friends. Someone knows where she is but they have not come forward with the truth. The purpose of this letter is to appeal to all
British Columbians and visitors to be watchful for and mindful of anything suspicious as they head out into the outdoors as spring and summer approach. Our family needs everyone’s help. Our heart’s are shattered by Maddy’s disappearance. Further information, including photos of Maddy, can be found on findmaddy. ca, madisonscott.ca or the Help Find Madison Scott Facebook page. If anyone knows anything, hears anything, sees anything that will help bring Madison home to her family please call the Vanderhoof RCMP at 250-567-2222 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (anonymously, if needed). You can also write to Madison Scott Search, Box 1190, Vanderhoof, BC, V0J 3A0. Thank you for helping us to find Maddy and for helping to put our family back together again. Sincerely and gratefully, Sandra Kelly Klassen (aunt), Williams Lake
Time for a new deal for native populations To the Editor. Treaty talks. According to the article Federal Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan is reviewing a report that is suggesting the treaty process has bogged down. B.C. Premier Christy Clark has also called for a new path, saying the treaty process has failed to deliver economic growth for aboriginal communities, and security for business investors. Treaty settlements have long been touted as the means to permanently remove uncertainty over land and resources from B.C.’s business climate. In reality, this experiment has had disastrous results because treaties do not provide closure. At the end of the day, Natives have no education, no money in their pocket, no land, no title, no jobs, and consequently not a hope of ever becoming self-sufficient. The intent of the treaties was to help Natives abandon a traditional nomadic lifestyle that no longer was sustainable. It was never the intent that they should become permanent wards of the state. The Ministry of Indians Affairs was established, complete with multi-billion dollar budgets, to help Natives find other means of providing for themselves and their families. Without a clear mandate it has failed miserably. Our politicians have turned their backs on the process, while revenue sharing has become a powerful tool the Natives today are using to hold the resource industries hostage. Today they know that they can stall the process forever without impunity. Two major economic initiatives in B.C. are facing significant opposition from the Natives: Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal and Taseko’s Prosperity mine project.
In both cases, the prospect of revenue sharing has stalled the process, and there is no motivation to settle, let alone negotiate. The concept of revenue sharing with government and industry is bizarre. Our provincial and federal governments are already doing just that by collecting taxes from the resource industries and providing essential services to all Canadians, Natives included. To move forward we have to adopt a strategy that would include we are all equal, beginning with citizenship, ownership, and opportunity. There can be no more Indian Act. To continue to pump billions of dollars into the pockets of the Chiefs and Councils while the rest of the Natives continue to live in poverty is not sustainable. For Natives to succeed they need the tools all other Canadians take for granted: Purpose in life, education, opportunity, responsibility, accountability, and motivation. Natives must have the right to have title fee simple (not certificates) to the land they own, on and off reserves and settlements. They need title as collateral when applying for loans to build a home or start a business. They must be allowed to become full partners in the Canadian economy, and treaties will continue to deny them that. The appeal process also needs to be put under a big microscope. In order for the courts to justify entertaining appeal after appeal for more money, land, and resources, they have to agree with the claimants. It’s a safe bet the Chiefs and the lawyers understood this long time ago, but the individual band members have gained nothing, and the taxpayers are bleeding. We need to develop a new template that will provide resolutions that are fair to everyone, and it must provide closure. Andy Thomsen, Smmerland
Make cigarette packages and filters refundable as incentive not to discard To the Editor: I find it rather sad that they wish to stop me from taking my wife, who can no longer stand up, into the hills and trails, but still allow this situation to continue. I am not advocating banning smoking outright, but perhaps the cigarette companies should be required to make the packets and filters returnable and refundable. In a short two hour walk around the city and trails one can easily see thousands of these
filters. It would not cost the smokers any more in the long run if they saved and returned all these filters and packages. My wife did smoke for years, but not once in all that time did she leave a butt or match anywhere, but put them in a can to put out with the household garbage. Something to think about. Bob Richards, Penticton

School Board Report – 23 May 2012 Submitted by Marieze Tarr, Board Chair, SD 53 Our district will be applying to the Industry Training Authority (ITA) to fund our Secondary School Apprenticeship (SSA) program. This year our district has 18 active SSA’s with two more being signed up this week. In the past all SSA projects that met the criteria were funded, but in the future we will be receiving a re-formatted SSA Project Call for Proposals that is reflective of a competitive application process. Our assistant superintendent organized an elementary and a secondary meeting of teachers and administrators to talk about the district direction and focus in literacy for next year. These discussions will inform our district achievement contract and our literacy initiatives for 2012-2013. We are very excited to expand our Read/Rhyme and Rec to SESS this year. This program is a very effective intervention/intersession reading program for Kindergaten/primary students at all schools. This year we will pilot a grade five to seven program at SESS. The BC Liquor stores Dry Grad Campaign raised $3,116 in the Okanagan Similkameen for our school district’s Dry Grad events. All of our grade 10 PE students will be participating in a Defibrillator Enhancement Program thanks to a donation of $7,980 from Interior Savings Credit Union. The schools received 70 CPR mannequins, teacher and student resources and eight teachers were trained to teach CPR. This year the teachers will also be teaching their students how to use a defibrillator . Please check your local schools newsletter if you have a child entering Kindergarten in the fall as we have “Wel-

dren will learn all about the Kindergaten program and the school and meet the teacher at this event. Our annual District Elementary Track Meet will be taking place on Friday June 1 at SESS. The board approved a Field trip for 37 students from OSS to the CSI@ LSI(UBC Life Sciences
Institute). They will be spending a day at UBC and will be introduced to the field of research and the diverse career options for a trained researcher. This trip is fully paid for by this UBC program and the students will be led through various experiments by LSI graduate students to eliminate
suspects and to solve a crime. What a wonderful opportunity for our students! On May 9, a meeting with representatives of Adopt-a-Seat, South Okanagan Concert Society, VenablesAuditorium Committee, SOAmateur Players, the Town of Oliver, SOSS and the school district was held to review the plans for the building
of the auditorium (RDOS and Oliver Parks & Recreation unable to attend). Robert Hamilton, Theatre Consultant, was also in attendance to discuss options for the theatre and equipment requirements. It was confirmed that the theatre will seat 400 people and will have a separate drama room for school use. A meeting will be scheduled for the
fall prior to the distribution of the equipment tender. It is anticipated that the theatre will be complete in December 2013. Lastly, our Roots of Empathy program celebrated six years of success in our district on May 30 at 4 p.m. in the atrium at South Okanagan Secondary School.

Cawston Hall upgrades continue Contributed On Tuesday, May 22 the Cawston Community Hall received new energy efficient lighting for the hall including new exit signs, replacing the older ones. Thanks goes to the Fortis BC lighting installation program for this effort. This one time upgrade, valued at $3,000 for the hall (out of the possible $5,500) is entirely covered from assessment to installation by licensed electricians through Fortis BC. Any small business that spends less than $20,000 on electricity over the previous 12 month period is likely to qualify. This is a limited one time offer and can be found at: flip@fortisbc.com or phone 1-866-932-8283 to see if you qualify. Doe Gregoire, who is fund raiser for the community hall, along with procuring the FLIP grant has also received $2,000 from Fortis BC as a donation for the renovations of the washrooms at the hall. New radiant floor heating and wheelchair access will be installed as well as new fixtures, baby change table and insulated outer walls. This will be completed by the end of the year. A newly written brochure explains the history of the society and buildings, hall rental, equipment, Cawston Cemetery, membership information and charitable donations. The brochure is available at the hall or Similkameen Country for anyone interested. Please contact Cory Vanheck at 499-2562 or email us at cawstonhall@ yahoo.ca to schedule hall rentals or equipment.

B.C. grants over $1.7 million to fight invasive plants Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations The provincial government is providing over $1.7 million in new grants to control the spread of invasive plants, Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson announced on May 24. The 28 grants are being given to local governments, Regional Weed Committees and the Invasive Species Council of BC to assist their activities and support the objectives of the provincial Invasive Plant Program. This funding is in addition to the $714,000 already earmarked by the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations for invasive plant control and management in 2012-13. Regional weed committees, the Invasive Species Council of BC, local governments, provincial gov-
ernment ministries and stakeholders work together to raise public awareness, survey invasive plant populations and actively treat high-priority invasive plant sites to control their spread. Funding has also been granted to the Invasive Species Council of BC for provincial collaboration, co-ordination and communication, as well as establishing best management practices for invasive plants. Regional weed committees serve as forums for land managers and other stakeholders to coordinate treatment activities and participate in outreach and educational opportunities. Invasive plants are not native to a particular ecosystem and have the potential to displace long-established species and can cause considerable economic or environmental damage. They may disrupt natural ecosystems, reduce biodiversity, increase soil erosion, alter soil chemistry and adversely affect commercial crops.
It’s that time of year again. Time to congratulate the Class of 2012. To be part of this year’s promotion book your ad space now! For these and other advertising opportunities during the month of June call 250-499-2653.

Making dining out just a little bit easier It is now easier than ever to make healthy choices when dining out with the recent launch of the Province of British Columbia’s Informed Dining program. Featuring more than 300 restaurant outlets in British Columbia, the program publishes nutritional information and allows diners to view the information in a format similar to that of a nutritional guide on products at the grocery store. All you have to do is look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants. “British Columbians have made it clear they want information to help them make informed choices about what they and their families are eating,” says B.C. Minister of Health Mike de Jong. “With Informed Dining, we are partnering with B.C. restaurants to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.” Some of the participating restaurants include chains such as The Boathouse, De Dutch, A&W and Little Caesar’s, and stand-alone restaurants such as H.A.V.E. Cafe in Vancouver, Mountain Eagle Books in Smithers and Joseph’s Coffee House in Victoria. With people in British Columbia eating a meal in a restaurant approximately 10 per cent of the time, it’s never been more important to be able to source out healthy options. With the new program, calorie and sodium information is prominently highlighted for all regular menu items, while other nutrients, including carbohydrates and fat, are also noted. The program also gives advice on daily calorie and

Excess weight can increase the risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and various cancers, so caloriecounting is an important part of a healthy diet. Eating too much sodium contributes to high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and kidney disease, making sodium another important piece of the healthy eating puzzle. “Healthy eating is a critical element in living a long and healthy life and avoiding cardiovascular disease,” says Gavin Arthur, vice-president of research and health promotion for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. “The Informed Dining program takes a positive step forward in providing people with information they can use in making informed choices while dining out.” The program is voluntary, but the provincial government is
encouraging every restaurant to join the initiative and make such information available. “We want to be part of the solution in making healthy choices, easy choices in B.C.,” says Vice-President of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association Mark von Schellwitz. “This program has the potential to help restaurant patrons become more conscious about what they are eating – it also shines a light on those establishments already providing menu nutrition content while encouraging other restaurants to follow suit.” The provincial government has been working on this program since 2010, and has given restaurants several options for disclosing nutrition information, including a menu insert, a poster or a brochure. “I am proud that we have about 300 outlets across the province signed up to participate in this important program,” says Ian Tostenson, CEO and president of the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association. “I know that other business will continue to learn more about Informed Dining and sign up – this information is what our customers have been telling us they want, and it is our responsibility to provide it.” The initiative is part of the Healthy Families BC campaign, created by the Province to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent chronic disease. For more information, visit www. healthyfamiliesbc.ca/home/informed-dining. The website also features a contest with weekly draws and a grand prize to cook like a chef and learn from a dietitian.
STOP GUESSING
START ASKING GE T THE FAC TS Making informed menu choices can be challenging. But with the new Informed Dining program, restaurant-goers can now get the facts when dining out. Just look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants and ask your server for nutrition information to help you make healthy choices from the menu. You can now be confident when eating at participating restaurants that you’ll have access to nutrition information before you make your menu choice. Stop guessing...and start asking!

Ferdi and Marina Louw of Keremeos recently responded to the Review’s photo of a dog on top of a hay bale (May 10 edition) with this photo of yet another watchful neighbourhood dog. They write: “After your nice ‘Dog on a Hay Bale’, my neighbours urged me to tell you about our ‘Dog on the Roof’. Many people have stopped dead in their tracks while walking on Boundary Road coming down from the bench. Sometimes the guard dog sits so still on his perch on the roof that he is mistaken for a statue, but mostly he would bark loud warnings to anyone approaching the house. His name is Blitz and his owner built him a ramp to access the roof. He prefers this perfect lookout spot and you’ll find him there in sun and snow.”

With summer and boating season approaching, boat owners in the region are not impressed with the condition of Kaleden’s boat ramp. The structure was completed in the fall of 2009, at a cost of $25,000 and currently sees little use. Boaters complain that the ramp was poorly engineered, and most launch their watercraft on the adjacent beach in Pioneer Park. The boat launch was constructed by a local contractor. Staff at the regional district are currently looking into the matter.

These bears were photographed in the backyard of a Tamarack Avenue residence in Kaleden earlier this month. It seems that a female and her two cubs are frequenting and causing a little concern in the Oak/Linden areas of the community. She is quite defensive of course and people should take caution with their garbage and compost, as well as taking the time to inform their children to be wary. This is also the time of year when residents can also expect more aggressive behaviour from deer who will be fawning in the coming weeks.

The stuff of life
Some years ago two scientists, named Miller and Urie, put the gases that would be present in the atmosphere of a newlyborn planet and passed simulated lightning
through it. The result was a brown gunk at the bottom of the flask which was found to contain amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, fundamental to life as we know it. This idea caught on to the point where we more or less took it as a given that the chemistry of life started in the lightning storms of young planets. The idea was so “tidy” and “makes sense”, that we didn’t question it. Now we are finding evidence that the story is more
intriguing than that experiment suggests. Cosmic chemistry is now a major branch of astronomy. By making observations at very short wavelengths, using instruments such as the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope in which we have a 25 per cent share - we can look at the radio signatures of molecules in the dark, cold clouds that are common in the space between the stars. It is possible to track chemical reactions and monitor what is happening inside the clouds, even though with our optical tele-
scopes we cannot penetrate them. What we are finding is more than fascinating. Soon after our universe began almost 14 billion years ago, and it had cooled to the point where matter as we know it could exist, hydrogen was by far the most common element; the next most common was helium, and there was not much else. You cannot do much with this chemical mix, other than make stars. However, stars obtain energy by turning small atoms, such as hydrogen, into bigger ones, such as helium, oxygen, carbon, phosphorus and so on, to atoms as heavy as iron. The stars in the
young universe were large, bright and blue, and mostly ended their lives by blowing themselves up. In the explosion, heavier elements, such as gold, copper, silver and uranium were made, and the other elements formed during the life of the star were thrown out to enrich those hydrogen clouds. In the cold, dark interiors of those clouds, screened from the harsh radiation of nearby stars, this rich mixture of elements started to react, and chemistry got to work. The biggest problem with the observations is not detecting the signatures of these cosmic molecules; it is identifying them
from a dense crowd of overlapping signatures. There is water, methanol, ethanol, ammonia, formaldehyde and much, much more. Lab experiments where mixtures of cosmic chemicals were cooled to the temperature of the clouds, about -260 C, and bombarded with simulated cosmic rays, which are high-energy particles, led to the formation of aminoacids. Since cosmic rays fill space, we should expect aminoacids to form almost anywhere, such as on ice grains in comets, and on other handy bodies such as pieces of rock. This is supported by the discovery that some meteorites contain aminoacids. These results
suggest carbon-based life is common in the universe, wherever conditions permit the appropriate chemistry. Of course we won’t know for sure until we find some. Venus is disappearing into the sunset glare. Mars and Saturn dominate the southern sky. The Moon will be full on the 4th. Venus moves between us and the Sun on the 6th - the “Transit of Venus.” 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.
Wise use of water saves not only conserves, but is actually more beneficial to your yard Water Works with Jeremy Part 3 By Jeremy Auger-Patry Keremeos Irrigation District Given the weather patterns of this past week, a lot of
residents are wondering why the watering restrictions are needed. First and foremost, a cooler May does not indicate a cooler summer with adequate precipitation. Environment Canada estimates
are indicating that this summer will most likely be above average (above 28 degrees as a daily high) in regards to temperature (see Environment Canada’s seasonal forecast online). Additionally, we still live in the driest
part of Canada so water conservation, no matter what the conditions are, should be a priority. The main purpose of the watering restriction is to prevent daytime watering which is wasteful for two reasons. First, a good portion of the
water used during the day is lost to evaporation, which requires users to water for longer to achieve the desired results. And secondly, during the day when the sun is at its highest in the sky the water droplets on your lawn act as a magnifying glass

Mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, are some of the affectionate ways we describe family members who are unique and irreplaceable. If an accident or illness, a disability or even death claimed one of the unique and irreplaceable people in your life, what would you do? Certainly there would be unavoidable consequences to your personal and family life but there are some financial consequences that you could alleviate with the right insurance coverage. Life insurance could provide tax-free funds at a critical time to pay your mortgage or other household debts or as a source of investment income to replace the income from a family an irreplaceable other. • Term life insurance can be a good starter option for younger couples but gets more expensive over time and does not allow you to renew after age 75 or 80. • Permanent life insurance stays in force for a lifetime and the premiums are set at the time of purchase and depending on the policy acquired may never change. If the family member is a business-owner, life insurance could be used to repay business debt or a co-owner could obtain key person insurance on the family member and use it to buy out their interest in the business. Mortgage insurance will cover your mortgage debt. You can get mortgage insurance from your lender but the more flexible option is renewable term insurance that allows your named beneficiaries to use the proceeds to pay off some or all of the mortgage or other pressing expenses. Disability insurance can provide a source of income should a key family member become unable to earn a living or manage your household for an extended period. Critical illness insurance provides a lumpsum of money that can be used to pay for the replacement of valuable services and/or the costs of medical care.
and burn the roots of your grass. Burnt grass leads a user to water more and it begins a vicious cycle of inefficient water use. The hours designated for watering by the restrictions are the times where the majority of the
water you use nourishes your grass and promotes deeper root growth. With deeper roots, your grass will retain water more effectively and should only require one to two watering per week to stay green and lively.
MANAGING Your Money Long term care insurance pays the costs of medical and home care including respite care that allows a caregiver to take a break. It protects your family’s existing financial assets and helps ensure a surviving spouse or children will receive an undepleted estate. Today’s families and extended families come in many shapes and sizes and each member plays many important roles with a high emotional and life value that can and should be protected by insurance. Your professional advisor can help you make the right insurance choices for your family.

HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK TIME TO FOCUS ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY This is a great time of year to focus on energy efficiency, making homes more comfortable and saving money. Adjusting the temperature, insulating and using less hot water can make a big difference in energy consumption. “Heating and cooling costs can account for up to half of your energy bill. As we approach the summer cooing season, it’s a great time to increase your home’s energy efficiency and help manage energy costs.” The average family in BC will spends up to $1,700 on their home’s energy bill. You can reduce your energy bill from 10 to 50 per cent by using a few energy-saving tips and solutions, as well as making some long-term improvements in your home. Simple tips: Adjust your thermostat. By lowering your thermostat, you can save two percent on your heating bill for every 1°C (2°F) it is lowered. Heat only the rooms you use. Close vents or turn down the heaters in rooms you aren’t using. Let the sunshine in. Keep blinds or drapes of sun-exposed windows open in the daytime to help heat your home and closed at night to conserve heat. Do-it-yourself tips: Install a programmable thermostat. A programmable thermostat allows you to drop the temperature at night or when you are away. Draftproof your home. By sealing the gaps around doors and windows, the foundation sill, and places where pipes pass through the exterior walls, you can save up to 10 per cent on your home’s heating costs. Home-investment tips: Install an air source heat pump (ASHP). An ASHP can provide your home with heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer. Heat pumps use electricity efficiently, and can save you up to 40 per cent on your energy bill’s heating and cooling costs. Choose energy efficient ENERGY STAR® windows. Look for windows with the ENERGY STAR® label. They not only save energy, they also improve your home’s comfort level and increase resale value. For more energy-saving tips, visit www.fortisbc.com or call FortisBC PowerSense at 1-866-4FORTIS (1-866-436-7847) PLAN NUMBER 5-3-677

Plant sale helps museum grow Contributed May was a busy time for the hard workers at the South Similkameen Museum Society. This year’s grant monies enabled us to open the museum a full month earlier than usual so we started with a clean-up of the grounds in preparation for the annual plant sale and the busy summer season. The plant sale was held May 12 and we would like to thank everyone involved for their support and participation. At one point our contributors were delivering plants for sale almost as fast as the customers were buying them! The funds we raised will go towards
this year’s operating costs and looking forward to a new building. The museum officially opened for the season right after the May long weekend and we have many projects lined up for the coming months. Most important is the ongoing work of identifying and cataloguing the photos in our growing collection. We are constantly updating our displays and find that we could use additional native artifacts. If you have anything you would like to donate, please call the museum at 499-9295, Judy at 499-2883 or Doreen at 499-5746. To finish off the month, the Legion kindly let us host their meat draw on
May 26. The Museum Society made money from the sale of meat draw tickets, our raffles, and half of the 50/50 tickets. We want to thank the Legion for their generosity, which helps many local, not-for-profit organizations. Don’t forget to check our web site at keremeosmuseum.ca to stay informed about future events. June 23 is the Fancy Hat Tea Party at the historic Gibson House, 2 to 4 p.m. There will be prizes for hats in many categories, as well as tea and goodies and lots of fun! We hope to see you there and don’t forget to bring your friends and relatives to visit the museum! Summer hours at the museum are Tuesday to Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Sagewood MHP held their annual Sale and Fundraiser on May 26. The sale this year was a great success, partly due to the fact that a number of participants joined the sale from the Cherrywood MHP. At times the highway was lined up with cars and the crowds arrived. Donuts and coffee were sold to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society of BC.

Funding allocated for native studies of proposed pipeline Kingsvale-Oliver reinforcement project federal funding allocated to participate in the environmental assessment Maxine Leger-Haskell, Cdn Environmental Assessment Agency The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) has allocated a total of $10,200 to the Métis Nation BC to support their participation in the federal environmental assessment of the proposed Kingsvale-Oliver Reinforcement Project in British Columbia. This funding is allocated through the Participant Funding Program administered by the agency and is intended to support public participation in upcoming steps of the comprehensive study process, including the review and comment on the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Guidelines, the EIS, and the
Comprehensive Study Report. A funding review committee, independent of the environmental assessment process, was established to assess the applications for funding. The Funding Review Committee’s report, along with further information on the project, is available on the Agency’s website at www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca , in the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry, under reference number 12-03-64738. FortisBC Energy Inc. is proposing to construct a new 161-kilometre long natural gas transmission pipeline generally alongside the existing natural gas transmission pipeline between Kingsvale, B.C. and Oliver, B.C. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency administers the federal environmental assessment process, which identifies the environmental effects of proposed projects and measures to address those effects, in support of sustainable development.

B.C. invests $2 million to replant tree fruit orchards Ministry of Agriculture, Dave Crebo, Communications Director The province is providing B.C. apple and tree fruit growers with $2 million to help replant low-value orchards with high-demand varieties. The program flows from the ministry’s Agrifoods Strategy, and its goal to expand domestic markets through high-quality products by targeting the planting of premium varieties such as Ambrosia and red strains of Gala. The funding will help focus B.C. apple growers on a “right variety, right size, right grade” strategy to serve high-value fruit markets with apple varieties that thrive in B.C.’s climate. The program, which also includes a
grafting and budding component, will operate for three years. Growers can apply to participate in the program at any time. The program will be administered by the BC Fruit Growers Association, in partnership with the BC Investment Agriculture Foundation. Applications will be reviewed by a small panel with representation from the Ministry of Agriculture, the B.C. Fruit Growers Association and independent growers. B.C.’s Agrifoods Strategy aims to expand domestic and international markets for B.C. foods by focusing on the production of high-quality products. The strategy is designed to lead B.C.’s agrifoods sector to a $14-billion-a-year industry by 2017.
