Open burning ban expanded Wildfire Management Branch Kamloops Fire Centre Effective at 12 noon on Friday, June 15, 2012, the current open burning ban was expanded across the entire Kamloops Fire Centre to include the Salmon Arm and Clearwater fire zones, in order to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect the public. Anyone planning to conduct Category two or three fires in the Salmon Arm and Clearwater fire zones will be restricted after noon on June 15. This prohibition will remain in place until Oct. 1, 2012 in the Clearwater and Salmon Arm fire zones and until Oct. 15, 2012 in the Kamloops, Vernon, Penticton, Merritt and Lillooet fire zones, or until the public is informed otherwise. A map of the affected areas is available online at: http://bcwildfire.ca/ftp/!Project/ WildfireNews/KFCJune15.pdf Specifically, this open fire prohibition applies to: • The burning of any waste, slash or other material. • The burning of stubble or grass. • The use of fireworks or burning barrels of any size or description. This ban does not restrict campfires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide (or smaller) and does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. This prohibition applies to all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws in place and is serviced by a fire department. Before lighting any fire, residents should check with local civic authorities regarding any current prohibitions.

Rolling Thunder rally ready to roll through Keremeos By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com A convoy of up to 300 hot rods will be making a four day drive from Vancouver into the interior on a journey that will also pass through Keremeos. “Rolling Thunder Against Cancer is the name of the hot rod rally that begins Au-
gust 10. The tour will go through Osoyoos, Kelowna and Kamloops, with stops in smaller communities along the way. Participants can join the rally in Vancouver, Chilliwack, Osoyoos or Kelowna. Registration is $50. The B.C. Cancer Foundation has enthusiastically endorsed Rolling Thunder Against Cancer and hopes the event will become a model for similar events across
the province. Funds will be raised through pledges for miles driven made by drivers and friends as well as from the general public attending the en-route stops and nightly shows. The rally is fully supported by the BC Hot Rod Association (BCHRA) with a commitment to donate 100 per cent of funds raised to go to the Canadian Cancer Foundation.

Program reminds residents that every drop counts Summer Ambassadors visit Keremeos in annual tour to promote used oil and antifreeze recycling By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Photo by Steve Arstad
Over 18 million litres of used oil is not recovered by the BC Used Oil program each year. These oils are extremely hazardous to our environment and drinking water; instead of sitting in our landfills, used oil can be recycled into a variety of useful products. The seventh annual Summer Ambassador Program will see the two ambassadors travel to over 120 municipalities and over 500 recycling facilities throughout B.C., spreading the message, “one drop makes a difference.” The ambassadors made their way through Keremeos on June 4, stopping at Dan’s Automotive and at K Mountain Auto, where local oil recycling collection depots can be found. Attending community events, speaking to government officials, as well as the public, the team is dedicated to spreading the message and keeping these hazardous materials out of our waterways and landfills.

New liquor laws will make it more costly for adults to supply booze to minors B.C. deters adults from giving liquor to minors Liquor Control and Licensing Branch The government is taking further action to protect children
by ensuring people caught supplying minors with alcohol face appropriate penalties, announced Minister Rich Coleman. Police and liquor inspectors now have the ability to issue $575-tickets to people found giving or serving liquor to anyone under the age of
19. This covers ‘bootlegging’, where adults purchase alcohol for minors. For the first time, it also includes servers at restaurants or bars who fail to ensure their customers are adults by checking for appropriate identification.
Licensees who operate businesses where liquor is being served are already accountable, and penalties for minors being served in their establishments range from $7,500-$10,000 or a 10-15 day suspension. The tickets streamline penalties for serv-
ing liquor to minors. Currently, police hand out court appearance notices for violations. These policing and court resources can now be redirected to other priorities. People receiving tickets may still dispute them in court, but if not disputed, the
tickets are valid and payable. Other unrelated administrative changes also announced today include: - Licensees who fail to renew their liquor licence within 30 days can now apply to have their licence reinstated, rather than applying for a new
licence. - The province will have the authority to effectively enforce agreements with liquor manufacturers who fail to submit sales records and the monies owed to the Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) for those sales.
health Summer fruits and vegetables in season
When is your favourite fruit or vegetable in season? By OK In Health There’s nothing healthier than fresh fruits and vegetables. You can get these at your local supermarket, or from the proliferation of summertime roadside stands. The high fiber content of fruits and vegetables is excellent for flushing toxic residues out of the body.Here are the dates for the more popular summer fruits and vegetables. Try to buy produce that is as fresh as you can get it and buy organic fruit and veg where possible, as they obviously have fewer toxins. A good greengrocer will usually have much fresher fruits and vegetables than the large supermarket chains. The fresher the good, the higher the nutritional value. Fresh herbs are also full of healthful properties, so use them liberally. The ideal, of course, is to grow your own herbs and vegetables, but this is not possible for most of us. Here are the dates for the more popular summer fruits and vegetables...

SODIUM CONTENT Store-bought prepared foods often have the highest sodium (salt) content. These include pizza, soups, bread, cold cuts and cured meats, prepared pasta dishes and prepared meat dishes. If you are trying to keep your salt intake down (1500 mg daily is a good goal), keep your intake of these food items to a minimum. Reading those nutrition labels will help you see how much each serving contains. MEDICATIONS & WATER SUPPLIES After taking our medications, our bodies excrete what isn’t needed. Does it affect our water supply? Tests done in the U.S. found that the concentrations of drugs in drinking water was at least 5 million times less than the therapeutic dose of any drug. So extremely minute amounts can be detected but pose no danger. CLAIMS OF CIDER VINEGAR There have been many claims made for taking apple cider vinegar. One claim that has been studied and has shown a bit of promise is that its use can lower blood glucose levels when taken with high carbohydrate meals. The dose studied was 2 tablespoonsful 2-3 times daily taken in a glass of water. There are so many home remedies out there. Some have merit while others have no real effect whatsoever.

Biodiversity strategy presented to RDOS committee Valley bottoms contain highest proportion of biodiversity values - and need the most protection and consideration, says study
Cawston Glass √ Window Repairs 250-499-2018
By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Bryn White, Program Manager for the South Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Program, discussed the SOSCP’s Biodiversity Conservation Strategy for the South Okanagan-Similkameen with the regional district Planning and Development Committee on June 7. The South Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Program was founded in 2000 by various groups concerned with the special environment and habitat of the South Okanagan-Similkameen area. The SOSCP is a partnership of non-governmental, government, and First Nations organizations working together to conserve biodiversity, including the regional district and member municipalities. SOSCP is a co-ordinator and facilitator of the partners to help improve the effectiveness of their conservation efforts. The SOSCP partners promote the practices of land and water stewardship through landowner contact programs and support for local sustainable land use planning The group uses First Nations knowledge and ecological heritage, and offers educational programs that link people and communities to nature. SOSCP partners - the Nature Trust of BC, the Land Conservancy of BC and other conservancy groups with a local presence, also purchase, receive or monitor land for habitat, undertake habitat restoration for enhancement of fish and wildlife populations, as well as undertaking research related to wildlife and fish populations and habitat. The group also advocates for policy change. The Biodiversity Conservation Strategy was initiated in late 2009, suggested as a policy item within the regional district’s Regional Growth Strategy. “Keeping Nature in our Future is our strategy,” White told the board, “the science and methodology in the strategy was assembled by some of the most respected experts in the province.” White felt that the regional district and municipalities are “well situated” to use the resource, pointing out a number of key findings. The strategy’s conservation ranking map ranks sensitive ecosystems for their importance for conservation and identifies where they occur on the land. Two thirds of the study area is rated as high in importance for conservation. While the strategy addresses the entire RDOS area, some of the strategy products were created to help individual communities and electoral areas. For example, while 73 per cent of Area “D” ranked high for conservation, only 11 per cent of that area is actually conserved in parks or dedicated open space. “Our results are scientifically defensible,” White maintained, adding that the strategy was not precluding development, rather it was promoting more environmental consideration prior to development. The strategy also delineated “hotspots,” or areas of greatest importance for biodiversity. Twenty per cent of the study area classified as high or very high relative diversity with many natural areas supporting a diversity of wildlife. White pointed to Area “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” and Towns of Osoyoos and Oliver as having the greatest proportion of very high and high relative biodiversity. White also pointed out that the valley bottom was a significant factor in maintaining biodiversity, as half of all biodiversity values occur in the valley bottoms even though it is only one quarter of the study area.
The South Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Program unveiled its Biodiversity Conservation Strategy for the South Okanagan Similkameen to the Regional District Planning and Development Committee last week. Oliver rural Director Allan Patton, reacting to White’s comment regarding the importance of the valley bottom for biodiversity’s sake, noted that the east side of Osoyoos Lake - reserve lands - should be protected, as that was the only uncompromised large parcel left. “All jurisdictions need to do something to protect biodiversity,” answered White. The study’s mapping also pointed out the gaps in existing biodiversity management, breaking down land management into four categories: - Conservation lands including parks and protected areas - 13.2 per cent - Dedicated open spaces - 3.2 per cent - Public/Crownresource lands - 70 per cent - Agriculture and Crown leases - 3.8 per cent Private land and Indian Reserve land were not categorized under land management classes for biodiversity but were identified as covering 4.6 per cent and 4.8 per cent of the landscape respectively. The study mapping methodology originally looked at the Okanagan - Similkameen areas totally without tenure, applying the biodiversity mapping without regard to land use. “The uplands are not as sensitive from a biodiversity standpoint,” White continued, “we need to be working in a focused direction on the high biodiversity values of the valley bottom lands that remain.” The next steps for White and the study include working with the regional district and member municipalities to seek public engagement. The process is expected to take three to five years. Directors expressed concerns with respect to how the plan could be implemented with local governments. White noted that the SOSCP had partners “poised to assist.” Osoyoos Director Stu Wells expressed caution over taking the strategy public, wary of a possible backlash if a proper public consultation isn’t done. Area “D” Director Tom Siddon complimented White on the “thoughtful approach” the strategy had taken. He further noted that there were two types of people, both with valid points of view that had to be satisfied. Siddon also pointed out that the regional growth strategy, which was promoting future density growth in Okanagan Falls, was in conflict with the strategy which described Okanagan Falls as an environmentally sensitive area. “This is a pivotal time for the strategy,” commented White to the Review at the conclusion of the meeting. “Coming before the board presented a chance to update our local government partners as the information is passed on to the public. An important point I would like to stress - and I hope the report makes this clear - there is no magic bullet here. There are many diverse things that need to be done across all jurisdictions in order to make this happen.”

Editorial Trail issues not Kaleden’s responsibility The old siding portion of the KVR trail in Kaleden and adjacent Sickle Point is presenting a challenge - that’s putting in politely - to local and provincial governments attempting to satisfy the public’s desire for an unimpeded recreational trail along the east side of Skaha Lake. Kaleden residents hoping to hear of a solution to the myriad issues down at the community’s waterfront were disappointed after 100 residents turned out to discuss the KVR at the Kaleden Community Hall on June 6. It was also disappointing to hear so many misguided opinions, many of which stem from a lack of knowledge regarding the history of both properties in question. It was equally disappointing to hear overtures to the effect that the owners of the two properties being discussed, somehow did not have the right to keep the public off these properties. But probably the biggest disappointment coming out of the meeting was the number of audience members who seemed to feel that a realistic solution would be to have community taxpayers take on a huge debt to buy the properties. Is it realistic to expect that a community the size of Kaleden can afford to front the cost of these recreational lands, even if they were for sale? Both parcels were on the market for several years before they were purchased - the public had their opportunity to purchase then, and elected not to because of the onerous cost to the local taxpayer. Even then, they were considered unaffordable. Today’s issues plaguing the Kaleden waterfront are not the community’s fault - nor are they the responsibility of the community to resolve. That responsibility belongs at regional and provincial levels - and just because they can’t resolve the problems overnight doesn’t mean the local community should be reaching into their pockets for a solution.

Goodbye to provincial greenhouse gas goals By Tom Fletcher Black Press In February this column asked the question: “Are B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets history?” The answer is contained in a new draft plan from BC Hydro on how to meet future power demand. And while it’s not explicitly stated, the answer is yes. The draft plan was released in May for discussion purposes, but so far there hasn’t been much discussion. This is surprising given some of the recommendations, such as firing up the Burrard Thermal natural gas power plant more often and buying fossil fuel power from the North American market to keep up to demand. The plan confirms a few things that have been evident for a while. Dreams of exporting B.C. hydroelectric power are gone for the foreseeable future. And with mining ramping up along with natural gas development and popula-
tion growth, BC Hydro now projects electricity demand could rise by 50 per cent over the next 20 years. The emergence of huge shale gas sources in B.C. and across the United States has changed the North American energy picture dramatically, as U.S. electricity producers replace coal by burning cheaper and cleaner gas to ramp up power production. B.C. is losing gas market share in the U.S., its only export customer for heating fuel and electricity use. Former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate goals officially remain in place: 33 per cent greenhouse gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80 per cent by 2050. If the gas boom proceeds as planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up considerably by 2020. Premier Christy Clark has a new target for 2020: three liquefied natural gas production lines feeding high-pressure tankers at Kitimat, for export to Asia. Not only will B.C. need to
buy gas-fired power from outside the province to keep up to industrial and residential demand, but the natural gas industry will need its own new gasfired electricity to produce LNG for export. Natural gas passed forestry as B.C.’s top resource revenue source many years ago. In 2005, the volatile gas price spiked up and produced $1 billion in windfall profits that allowed the B.C. government to buy a rare period of public sector labour peace through the 2010 Olympics. Now a glut of shale gas has pushed the North American price down from its historic range of $4 to $6 per thousand cubic feet to about $2.40. Despite that low price, gas producers in B.C. are going flat out to develop the Horn River and Montney shale gas deposits in northeast B.C. I asked David Pryce, vice-president of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, why so much gas is being developed now. He
said producers have made huge investments in B.C. shale gas drilling rights, and are in an international race to supply LNG to Asian countries where the price is currently four times higher than in North America. Whatever the domestic price, B.C. gas producers have to show LNG investors such as Mitsubishi and Korea Gas that they can fill a steady procession of LNG tankers at a competitive rate. If LNG doesn’t fly here, B.C.’s gas export market soon evaporates. Currently gas producers pay about $400 million a year in royalties, and that much again to buy up shale gas drilling rights. The industry already employs about 12,000 workers in B.C. The B.C. government has little choice but to redefine its climate targets. Instead of cutting domestic emissions, it will try to take credit for displacing coal power in Asia. Fortunately, B.C.’s main coal exports are for high-grade coal used in steel-making.

EI reforms are not a skills and labour strategy To the Editor: The Conservative government claims that it is making fundamental changes to Employment Insurance to deal with “unprecedented” shortages in skilled labour, especially in the West. However, these reforms do nothing to help the 154,000 unemployed British Columbians develop the skills and get the training they need to fill those shortages. Instead, the government’s strategy appears to be to force seasonal workers from rural Canada to move, separating them from their families and emptying their communities. The changes will also force the unemployed to accept work, at up to a 30 per cent pay cut, or else they will lose their EI benefits. Under this system, employers will be stuck with employees who don’t want to be there and plan to leave as soon as they can. Hardly a recipe for positive workplace moral or productivity. All of which is not to say that the current system is perfect — it does need improvements. In fact, some of the current changes are positive,
like extending the “working while on claim” pilot and making the “best 14 weeks” program permanent. Both of those pilot projects were created by Liberals over a half-decade ago, to test new, innovative reforms to the EI system. We took a progressive and considered approach to changing the system. Unfortunately, the current government has created policy on the fly, with no consultation, based on a belief that EI claimants – especially seasonal workers in Atlantic Canada – are lazy and need to be forced to work using penalizing measures. As Liberals, we believe in helping people to find work through investing in skills upgrading and retraining, not forcing people to work lower-skilled jobs for less money. The government should be narrowing the rural-urban divide, not expanding it. Rodger Cuzner, M.P. Liberal critic for Human Resources & Skills Development
Simple replacement parts not so simple to obtain To the Editor: I feel very strongly that the newspaper could do the public a great service by sharing this letter. Even though the weather hasn’t been great, the warmth of the sun will arrive and the urge for many folks to buy a swimming pool will drive them to a place of horror. My horror started, unknown to me, at a local big box store where I purchased a metal frame above ground swimming pool with a deluxe salt water system. Happiness was - until this vinyl and metal monster was released from its home in the big box. The first thing to catch the eye was the notice “Do not return product to store”- but contact Intex Corp. the supplier in California, if you needed parts or technical support. The cheap pool cover had taken a beating from the wind in 2011 and I ordered same from Intex - the cost of the pool cover was $30, shipping charge $31 - doubling the cost of a cover that is also kaput - it would be easier to tie a Kangaroo down, boy. Well I noticed the need for a new step washer as I set the pool up for the hopefully upcoming summer. The small washer maybe worth a buck or
two at the most ? With out this measly washer the entire salt water circulation system acts similar to a broken water main put out of service. I got quite angry at the big box store and was befriended by the rare case of a knowledgeable employee, with whom I have dealt with over the years. He decided to order a washer and indeed phoned Intex, placed the order and all appeared fine - that was three weeks ago, and even the Giant W big box is still waiting. If you don’t want to create a personal nightmare and drown in your own tears - then please heed what I’m saying and stay away from the corporate disease which plagues the big W box and me. P.S. I tried to find a step washer locally, but most contacts knew nothing about what I was talking about. I decided to phone California and order a plunger valve that came complete with O ring and step washer and eventually got to talk to a human voice. I paid by Visa the cost of shipping and handling on May 31, and I am still waiting to see if my order arrives before the step washer gets to the Big W. Tom Isherwood, Olalla
Park feasibility study tells us all we need to know South Okanagan – Similkameen National Park Feasibility Study To the Editor: We needed that! Collectively we of the South Okanagan – Similkameen needed to see the product of eight years of rigorous scientific study reporting on the feasibility of a national park here. The study, a collaboration of senior bureaucrats within Parks Canada and the BC government, incorporates studies of a wide spectrum of knowledgeable experts – from biology through to economics. The study is also the product of 100’s of meetings with local individuals, organizations, and businesses. The report of that comprehensive SOS national park feasibility study was recently released as a result of a ‘Freedom of Information’ request. The report shows quantitatively and unequivocally that a national park here is not only feasible but would provide what a substantial majority of local people want. Park supporters outnumber opponents two to one. The report identifies solutions for every concern. The park can be established respectfully to those stake-
holders with legitimate concerns. The Feasibility Study recommends governments of Canada and British Columbia proceed toward establishment of a national park reserve here. A national park would be much better than current. It would be better for people, better for the land, and, better for nature. The South Okanagan – Similkameen is one of the four mostendangered ecosystems in Canada. Landscape fragmentation and degradation put nature ever-more at risk here. Further, the federal government would bear the lion’s share of costs of establishing and managing the national park, thereby relieving B.C. of a cost burden, which judging by provincial budget cut-backs, is hard to bear. Management by Parks Canada would be far superior to B.C.’s management capacity. So now it is unequivocally documented that benefits a national park are high and costs are low. In that context it is baffling in the extreme that our B.C. politicians apparently want to walk continued on page 18

Early season job seekers take a look at the job board set up in Keremeos in a unit behind Valu Plus. Controversial changes to the employment services program in the Lower Similkameen has eliminated store front service in the area. Council reacted to a letter from the Ministry of Social Development that was sent in response to one sent to the ministry by Mayor Bauer.
Village council discuss census data, employment services By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Keremeos Village council had a light agenda at the June 4 regular meeting of council. Council received a letter from the Ministry of Social Development in response to a letter sent by Mayor Bauer, regarding changes to employment services in the Lower Similkameen. Regarding the placement of Cawston into the Oliver catchment area, Bauer noted that the letter revealed that an opportunity for stakeholders to provide feedback on the original request for information was apparently offered, but was not prominently communicated . “This is nothing more than political gobbledygook,” exclaimed Councillor Evans, indicating the contents of the letter, prior to council receiving it. Council received a report containing local information regarding the 2011 Census. They also received reports from the CAO regarding the FCM (Federation of Canadian Municipalities) report on the state of Canada’s cities and communities, as well as the feasibility report on the proposed national park. A number of bylaws received first, second and third readings. The fees and charges amendment bylaw and the freedom of information bylaw were amended as part of adminisitrative “housekeeping” duties. Background: Highlighted content of the letter from the Ministry of Social Development (in response to Mayor Bauer’s letter to the ministry): - YMCA-YWCA is working diligently with the community to ensure that Keremeos receives appropriate employment services. - YMCA-YWCA does not have an employment services centre in Keremeos. Anyone wanting a storefront employment service centre can travel to Oliver or Penticton. - Changes to the program in Keremeos are not the result of a funding shortfall. Overall funding for the program remains stable, in fact, there is a reduction in administration and therefore, enhanced efficiency.
- Ministry contracts will be monitored to ensure that contractors deliver on their commitments. - Health boundaries were used, where possible, to delineate catchment areas. - Five per cent of case managed clients can come from outside the catchment area. Based on request for proposals data, if all case managed clients in Cawston were to receive service within the Penticton catchment, this would only represent one to two per cent of the total number of clients for the Penticton catchment area, meaning that it would be acceptable for Cawston clients to seek services through the Penticton ( Keremeos) catchment area. No changes will be made to the program until the ministry has had an opportunity to monitor the program’s effectiveness for a period of time. Census Data Median age in Keremeos: 60.8 - 9.32 per cent of the population of Keremeos is aged 0 to 14 - 51.3 per cent of the village population is aged 15 to 64 - 39.5 per cent are aged 65 and older. - Keremeos has the highest median age of the following regional district areas and municipalities: Osoyoos. Oliver, Penticton, Summerland, Area “G” and Area “B.” The FCM report The Federation of Canadian Municipalties released their report entitled The State of Canada’s Cities and Communities in 2012.” The report looks at the financial challenges faced by local governments and the state of cooperation between the federal, provincial and local governments. Indications are that the outlook for communities is uncertain due to downloading by the senior levels of government and lack of a stable, secure share of tax revenues. National park feasibility study Council was advised of the release of the feasiblity study through a Freedom of Information request.

Fat Fa ath the her’s Day ay 201 012 Great gift ideas for Dad Father’s Day is right around the corner and that means many children, spouses and other family members will be scrambling to locate the perfect gifts for the men in their lives. Put away those coupons for neckties and remote control caddies. There’s a good chance Dad wants something a little less cliche and more in tune with his interests. If you think carefully about gift ideas, there’s bound to be something that will be a perfect fit.
Great g gifts
Sports
If Dad follows a particular team or sport, gifts inspired by his love of a favorite team are a surefire bet for success. Team jersies, game memorabilia, tickets to the next at-home game, or an expanded satellite dish or cable TV sports programming package are some gift ideas that will coordinate with a sports theme. Some dads also may be content to simply hit the links or spend a few hours at the batting cages.
Personalized Gifts
Personalized gifts can show that special man in your life that you care about him in a special way. Instead of a run-of-the-mill item pulled off a store shelf, a personalized gift can feature a name, date or sentiment right on the gift itself. Think about giving Dad a personalized plaque that designates his work area in the garage or a pocket lighter or photo frame engraved with a special message or his name. An embroidered bath robe, or a golf bag embroidered with his initials may also be a special treat.

Fit for Foodies
As the adage goes, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.� Take advantage of these words of wisdom by gifting your Dad with food or culinary-themed items. Dad may be an amateur chef and will enjoy a cookbook by his favorite Food Network(TM) personality. Or he may have a restaurant he insists on going to all the time, so guaranteeing a gift card to said restaurant will be a hit. If Dad appreciates not only the taste, but also the culture of food, plan a tour of food shops in the area or go on a wine- and cheese-tasting adventure.
Gear Heads
Some dads get revved up about automotive gifts, especially if they spend the weekends pampering their prized cars or trucks. If he tends to have a wrench in hand and head under the hood, treat your father to some new supplies for his automotive pursuits. Quality car waxes and upholstery cleaners are always in demand. Or give him a gift certificate to his favorite hand-wash, auto-detailing center. Gas station gift cards or a new ratchet set are other good auto gift ideas.
Techies
Some dads get excited about the latest tablets or smartphones. They may keep abreast of virusdetection software or think the technological gadgets sold in those speciality magazines and mall stores are must-haves. Chances are if you spend enough time with Dad you know just what he likes to dabble in, and you can get him an electronic device he’ll find invaluable. Although it may seem difficult on the surface to find a gift for Dad that he truly will enjoy and use, all it takes is a close examination of his likes to find something appropriate.

“Dog days of summer” can be dangerous By Lorie Chortyk Paw Prints With summer fast approaching, it’s time to remind pet guardians across B.C. about the serious consequences for pets left inside cars on hot days. Every year, the SPCA receives hundreds of complaints about dogs left in hot cars because many people still don’t grasp the danger of this situation. Even if you park in the shade and it seems cool outside when you leave, the sun can change direction and heat up a car’s interior in no time. Many people assume they will be just a few minutes at a bank or convenience store, only to be delayed and return too late to save their pet. With an outside temperature of just 26 degrees Celsius, the temperature inside a parked car at this time of year — even one that’s in the shade with the windows cracked — can climb to above 37 degrees Celsius in just 10 minutes and 43 degrees Celsius in 20 minutes. A dog’s normal temperature is 38 degrees Celsius. At 41 degrees Celsius, your dog begins to suffer irreparable brain damage or death. If you see a dog languishing in a hot car, please call the SPCA, animal con-

Astronomical observations of days gone by
O
utside, rain is falling from a leaden sky, and it looks as though it will continue for the rest of the day. As I write this, the transit of Venus is half over, and there is no sign the weather will clear. Things do not look good for seeing today’s transit of Venus, the last for more than 100 years. Hopefully others across Canada will have more luck. A cynical possible consolation is that in the past others travelled halfway around the world to see transits of Venus, and instead of seeing Venus moving between them and the Sun, they saw clouds. We’re seeing the same thing without the inconvenience of having to travel. There is a marvellous book by Canadian astronomer Don Fernie, called “The Whisper and the Vision,” in which he describes trips made by early astronomers to make important observations. One of the astronomers mentioned in the book is Guillaume Le Gentil. Born in 1725, Le Gentil showed great potential as an astronomer and was elected to the French Academy of Sciences. He was the one picked to travel to Pondicherry in India to observe the 1761 transit of Venus, to measure the precise distance of the Sun and establish the scale of the Solar System. He set sail in early 1760. When He died in he arrived at Isle de France he heard that 1792, escapPondicherry was besieged by the British ing the French and he would have to wait until the siege Revolution and was lifted. probably the He hitched a ride to Pondicherry on a guillotine by a troopship loaded with French reinforcefew months. ments. However a series of storms blew them off course and the day of the transit found Le Gentil in the middle of the Indian Ocean. He was forced to observe the transit from the rocking deck of a ship and could make no useful observations because his clocks and other instruments needed firm ground under them. Rather than fight his way back to France and then out again for the second transit of the pair, which would happen in 1769, he decided to travel directly to Manila in the Philippines, where his calculations indicated would be an ideal place to observe it. He laboriously made his way there, set up and let the Academy know what he had done. He got an angry reply, telling him to get back to Pondicherry. Since the Academy was paying, he reluctantly obeyed. On the day of the second transit there was a huge storm, with high winds, clouds and rain. He got to see nothing of the transit at all. What added to his misery was the news he received later that observing conditions had been ideal in Manila. Enduring hurricanes and storms, he finally got home in 1771, only to find that he was believed to have died on his travels, and his estate had been ransacked by family members and those claiming to be his creditors. It took a long and expensive court battle to get at least some of his property back. However, the Academy awarded him a special position and he lived out the last 20 years of his life in relative peace. He died in 1792, escaping the French Revolution and probably the guillotine by a few months. There is no question that we astronomers have an easier time of it today. Mercury is low in the west after sunset. Mars and Saturn dominate the southern sky. The Moon will be new on the 19th. Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory, Penticton.

The prenup dollars and sense talk Your wedding day is right around the corner. You’re practicing your reception speech. You love each other and you’re making a lifetime commitment. You’ve no doubt talked frequently about your future together but did your talks include dollar signs? Money is always one of the most challenging aspects of a relationship, especially if you’re about to become part of a blended family. Here are some prenup financial basics to smooth your transition to married life: Consider a prenup A written prenuptial agreement can protect certain assets accumulated before your marriage or for children from a previous relationship. Each party should receive independent legal advice and speak to an experienced family lawyer about what should and shouldn’t be in the agreement and make sure the agreement is signed well in advance of the wedding day. Tell all, know all Each of you should disclose assets, loans and other financial commitments and credit history. A partner’s undisclosed poor credit history could cause unpleasant surprises when you’re applying for a joint credit card or a loan. Pick an asset If one or both of you brought assets, like a house or car, into the union, decide if you should keep or sell them. Alternatively, one person may “buy” their share of a larger asset (such as a home), by giving the other spouse assets worth half the value of that property. Merge or purge Decide if it’s best to maintain separate bank accounts, credit cards and investments or to merge them to eliminate duplication and enhance financial benefits. Also consider this, while it may be financially advantageous to pool your investments for a more robust portfolio, keeping assets separate can avoid legal implications in the event of a separation or divorce. You may also want to keep assets separate in the event you want to leave them to children from a previous relationship. Share your goals Agree on shared financial goals, like buying a home or starting a family. If you have children, invest in an RESP to help save for their education. Protect your partner Disability insurance can provide a steady income stream for your family if you are unable to work. Life insurance can provide a lump sum to your beneficiaries. Mortgage protection can pay off that large debt. Entering a blended family? You may need to update your beneficiary designations. Reduce your tax bill Take advantage of all avail-
MANAGING Your Money able deductions and such income-splitting opportunities as spousal RRSPs and pension income-splitting. Use effective tax-planning and investment strategies to gain immediate and long-term retirement benefits. A new will makes it right Except in Québec and Alberta, marriage usually voids all earlier wills – so update yours. Speak to an experienced lawyer to update your wills. For more plans and strategies that will build the strongest financial foundation for your unique union, talk to your professional advisor.

HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK Add a new dimension to your outdoor life this year with an outdoor brick oven

This project will pay off dividends when it comes to entertaining and cooking outdoors this summer
Is the prospect of yet another season of typical barbeque fare leaving you feeling less than enthusiastic? If so, you might want to consider building - or buying - an outdoor brick oven. It’s an idea that is catching on internationally. Just take a look at the number of “brick oven” sites on the internet. One of the best I’ve found is one called Forno Bravo.

Anything you can cook on a barbeque you can cook in a brick oven - and more. You’ll make the best pizza you have ever tasted in your own brick oven. Cooked in the traditional Italian style, pizza is probably the most popular choice in food for the brick oven crowd. Bread, roasts and baked dishes increase the versatility of brick ovens.

If you are interested in a new project, you could construct one yourself. Excellent JENISH HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED RECREATION HOMES plans based on a Pompeii style oven can be printed off the Forno Bravo website. Most of the materials for an oven can be found locally, with one exception. A product known as “fireclay,” does not seem to be stocked by Okanagan or Similkameen suppliers. In the making of my oven, I eventually found an address in Vancouver - Delta, to be more precise - that sold it in 50 pound bags. (My oven construction was held up until I could find a way to get a few bags shipped to the Okanagan.) Basically, construction of a brick oven involves some sweat, and some rudimentary knowledge with respect to mortar mixing and bricklaying. The basic design consists of a concrete poured base, a cinder block stand, a concrete oven base, and the oven itself, which is made of firebricks covered in high temperature mortar mix. It took me three summers to complete my oven, but don’t let that discourage you. I wasn’t in a hurry, and left the project on the back burner several times when projects of a higher priority beckoned.

The price of a contracted oven will run around the HEAT PUMPS $5,000 mark. A third option available is through the Forno Bravo website. The company makes brick oven kits for shipment world wide; purchased this way would probably be the fastest way to get cooking.

history Residents from all over the regional district participate in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department’s annual giant garage sale in May. In additon to being a great venue in which to find a bargain, the sale also represents one of the community’s biggest social functions of the year, as neighbours meet and mingle while shopping.
PLEASE NOTICE: SESS Bottle Depot will be closed from June 17 to Mid September.
Thank you, Thank you to all the people who generously supported the depot. The proceeds have benefitted many of our SESS students.

A fire department that has grown with the community Sound financial management and a core of long time volunteers over the years has helped to ensure that Kaleden’s fire service has been continuously effective on all fronts By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Kaleden had a network of standpipes in the community before 1972 but there wasn’t enough throughout the community to ensure that the fire department would have water near the scene of a fire. A 1,000 gallon portable tank was purchased for use where access to a standpipe was not available, but it wasn’t long before the setup - which involved filling the tank from the number one truck and having it return to the nearest hydrant for more water- was proven to be inadequate. Hydrants - which allow more water flow and require larger diameter pipes - were also considerably more expensive than standpipes back in the 1970’s. Additional standpipes were purchased through the generosity of the hall board, who funded the standpipes from proceeds of weekly bingo games, at the time a major weekly event in Kaleden. The Kaleden Irrigation District did not have the responsibility to provide fire protection at the time, although an agreement had been reached with the KID by which any property being subdivided would result in developers paying for the installation of standpipes where needed. Over the ensuing decades, standpipes have been slowly replaced by hydrants, which can provide better flow rates for firefighting. In 1991 the hydrants became the property of the KID. Emergency Calls Structure fires have never been a major component of the Kaleden VFD’s annual call out breakdown, but nonetheless remain the most important type of incident to which the department responds. There have been several structure fires of note over the years - from the Simpson house on Oak Avenue in July of 1976 to what was probably the largest structure fire ever fought by the department - the St. Andrews golf course lodge in August of 1994 - to the most recent one, a chimney fire that spread to an adjacent wall, which the department fought in January of 2012. Grass and brush fires were more common in the Kaleden fire protection area in the 1970’s and 80’s. The department still responds to one or two each year, but changes to burning regulations and increased awareness and public education seems to be working to reduce the number of man-caused wildfires. The department has responded to numerous motor vehicle accidents over the years, several of them fatalities, both within the community and along Highway 97 and 3A. The Highway 3A and 97 junction, the “S” curves on Highway 3A and the stretch of Highway 97 between the Petrocan
station and the fruit stands continue to be the fire protection area’s most dangerous stretches of road. In recent years, the department has responded most frequently to ambulance assist calls and burning complaints. The department plays a continuing role in citizen education through presentations to the local elementary school and a monthly column in the local newsletter. Today’s challenges There may be signs that the role of the department is changing, as better housing construction, increasing awareness and education of the public, and improving safety of automobiles combine to reduce the number and severity of emergency calls. In recent years, volunteer fire departments across North America have been plagued by a steadily decreasing volunteer rate. Kaleden has not been spared from this trend - the community is saddled with an increasingly aging population and high real estate prices that exclude home ownership by young families, further exacerbating the problem. Liability issues and the regionalization of local fire departments have also increased the work load of volunteers, who are increasingly finding themselves time contstrained to keep up with the additional training, regular practices, and emergency call outs that happen throughout the year. Still, there are some noteworthy rewards in providing one’s services to a community volunteer fire department. A chance to meet other members of the community, engage in a very worthwhile activity (that remains affordable to the taxpayer while it is volunteer hands) and gain useful knowledge in a number of different disciplines are but a few. Kaleden has had a strong history of volunteerism over the 40 year SIMILKAMEEN history of the department. There CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP have always been obstacles to overcome, and today’s challenges are simply modern versions. Based on the department’s solid KEREMEOS COMMUNITY past, the community has every reaCHURCH son to celebrate the department’s WELCOMES YOU TO A WORSHIP CELEBRATION! 40th year on June 17, with the expectation that the future will hold more of the same.

news letters / park feasibility study / continued from page 7 away from this golden opportunity. They reject the majority of locals that support the park, and the professional advice of their own senior bureaucrats. To justify that untenable position they have offered no quantitative reasoning of the scientific caliber of this feasibility study. Can we collectively afford to let our B.C. politician’s antiscience position prevail? It is my conviction that if together we lack the courage to establish a national park here we will guarantee our ‘enduring legacy of shame.” If we forfeit this opportunity it will never come again. Future generations, will look back, from their perspective of a once-beautiful landscape lost to fragmentation and say, “While they had the opportunity why did our forefathers not conserve this land? Why were they so short-sighted?” Let’s inform our politicians that we prefer instead an honorable legacy. One in which future generations will look back with gratitude saying, “Thank goodness our forefathers created this cherished South Okanagan – Similkameen National Park while it was still feasible.” Bob Lincoln, Kaleden

Funding cuts forcing a change in teaching philosophy at Keremeos YouLearn facility Adult graduates’ course options severely reduced after budget cuts to learning centre By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview. com On May 2, the Ministry of Education announced funding changes for all graduated adult courses (both for continuing
education and distributed learning). For the next school year, funding will only be offered to students enrolled in academic upgrading courses and literacy foundations. Adult graduates will no longer be able to take a free course at the Keremeos YouLearn centre unless it is a traditional English, math or science course. Introductory, teacher-led computer courses will still be offered on Mondays to everyone in the com-
munity. “Adult graduates used to be able to take anything the ministry offered,” explained YouLearn Vice Principal Will Eaton. “Now only a limited list of courses will be available.” Eaton said the decision will “heavily impact our school,” cutting weekly operation from four days to one, and from eight blocks to three (times when teachers are available to connect face to face with students).
Eaton said that the DL model is a perfect fit for a community that is widespread and has so many different needs. “This is a big blow for Keremeos,” he added, noting the school had to maintain flexibility in terms of making adjustments. The school offers two types of continuing education - continuing education and distributed learning. Wi t h t h e f u n d i n g changes, he explained that opportunities may
exist for the school to serve the community better through an increase in distributed learning in order to maintain more of a presence for students. “There are increasing numbers of distributed learning students,” Eaton said, “although traditionally we have had a higher proportion of continuing education students, which requires more of a face to face presence - we are looking at flipping the ratio.” Despite the
funding changes we have unfortunately had to deal with, we believe our shift toward KLC being a DL centre will create opportunities for Keremeos learners. When one door closes another door opens. Distributed learning is open to everyone, at any time, from anywhere. This is an opportunity for all Keremeos residents, and we are committed to Keremeos, just taking a different approach. Eaton noted that the
internet is very useful when it comes to correspondence type programs, helping to provide a means for distributed learning opportunities to maintain a school presence for the student. “I don’t think funding will dry up completely,” Eaton concluded, “we are committed to having a school presence here - Keremeos is part of our district, and everyone deserves the right to improve themselves through education.”

Attention to weather conditions can be an aid to reducing water use June has been a wet month so far. Attention to automatic watering systems can result in dramatic water savings during wet weather conditions Water Works with Jeremy Part 5 Water conservation requires us to be flexible and sensible with our environment. Given the cooler than average start to June that we have had lately, residents of Keremeos should be modifying their watering habits to adapt to the unexpected weather patterns. For those of you with automatic irrigation systems, these systems should be switched to the rain function
or turned off during days with rainfall. Watering during a day of sufficient rainfall is pointless, the soil can only retain a certain amount of water, so excessive watering is not only wasteful, it does not provide any additional benefit to your lawn and gardens. These changes in watering behaviors should not only be limited to residential users, agricultural users should consider the lack of sunshine in their scheduled irrigation. With cloud cover, the loss of water due to evaporation is much lower and thus regular irrigation cycles should be cut shorter to minimize water waste and potential loss of nutrients due to run off. This cool, wet weather may not be indicative of a summer with an abundance of water. That is to say, water conservation should not be overlooked by the residents of Keremeos, any water that is saved now, may be required in Keremeos once the hot, dry summer weather rolls in.

Gordon Manery, beloved husband of the late Kathleen (Kay) Manery died on May 31, 2012 at St. Therese Villa in Lethbridge, Alberta at the age of 92. Gordon was predeceased by his wife Kay in 1997 and his sisters Jean Innis (Ross), Helen King (Ron) and Marge Harker and his brother Ronald. He is survived by his sister Kathleen Cook (Milton of Kelowna); his sons Bill (Donna) of Vancouver, Jay (Sue) of Lethbridge and Donald (Terry) of Calgary, six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Also survived by his brother-in-law Ken Harker of Keremeos and sister-in-law Peggy Manery of Ottawa. Also remembered by his special friend and caregiver Ruth Liska. Gordon was born on April 19, 1920 the third child to Sam and Mabel Manery pioneers of the Lower Similkameen Valley, Ànally settling on the family farm in Cawston. At the age of 20 he left the farm for Southern Alberta in search of work and experience. After sometime Gordon chose to further his education, and while a student at Oregon State college was diagnosed with tuberculosis. He returned to Cawston where he recuperated for almost two years. When fully recovered, he returned to Lethbridge where he was employed at Broder’s Canning Co. In the fall of 1945 Gordon married Kay and they raised their 3 sons in Lethbridge. By 1948 Gordon had been employed in various facets of the vegetable growing and canning business in the irrigated areas of Southern Alberta identifying the need for a more efÀcient method of irrigation. In 1950 Oliver Chemical Co. was founded and Ànally Oliver Industrial Supply Ltd with branches elsewhere in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Gordon sold the business in 1975 and after a very short retirement joined forces with L. Pahulje and P. Madge in the development of the West Village Mall.
