Jailed Canadians to face French courts By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Photo by Steve Arstad
A three vehicle accident took place at the west end of the bypass near Keremeos on Thursday, June 14 around 1:30 p.m. A cube van was lightly impacted by a sedan that was then rear ended by a vehicle following behind. Both cars were badly damaged in the collsion. One person was taken to the Keremeos Diagnostic and Treatment Centre for minor injuries while another victim was treated at the scene. Keremeos Volunteer Firefighters, BC Ambulance, RCMP and Argo Road Maintenance were dispatched to the accident scene.
The court case involving three Canadians arrested in New Caledonia after 200 kilograms of cocaine was found on their sailboat will be taking place in France. New Caledonian Attorney General Clair Lanet told the Review on June 15 that the case was “out of her hands” as the three Canadians are in the process of being transferred to France, where they will be tried in supreme court. Lanet said that the action took place because organized crime is suspected to be linked to the smuggling operation. On March 31, an unregistered sailboat was seized off the New Caledonian coast and three crew arrested after cocaine with a street value of between 70 and 200 million dollars was detected through a joint effort involving the U.S. DEA. the Australian Federal Police, and the New Caledonian military. The three Canadians - widely believed to be Bob and Cindy Stanley and Gary Yuzik, all of whom formerly had ties to Keremeos in the recent past - have not been officially identified by French police, ten weeks after their arrest.
Open air artists celebrate history at the Keremeos Grist Mill July 15 Contributed by Dave Cursons On Sunday July 15 The Keremeos Grist Mill and Gardens will become an open-air studio for painters, both beginners and advanced. Loraine Stephanson of Penticton, will bring her knowledge and experience to bear for participants in the day long event. Stephanson holds a Masters Degree in Fine Arts from the University of Alberta, with theses in painting and art history. The Tumbleweed Gallery in Penticton represents her work locally.
Whether a beginner or an experienced painter wishing to refresh your skills, come keep company with others for the day, learn through on-site experience, tips and gentle critique! Hosted by The Grist Mill Heritage Club, the event will also feature a dramatic presentation by Keremeos writer and actress, Shai Snyder. Her historical rendering is based upon Late Victorian writer and painter, Julia Bullock-Webster, who settled briefly in the Similkameen in the 1870’s. The day will wind up with a High Tea in celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Her majesty Queen Elizabeth
II. Participants will take away a commemorative Jubilee lapel pin and a small flag with Canada’s Diamond Jubilee Emblem. Registration is limited. The cost is $25. A supplies list is available in advance and a printed handout is provided on the day. Advance registration is recommended. Lunch may be brought along or taken at The Grist Mill Tea Room. Proceeds from the event go to the local Grist Mill Heritage Club whose goal is to preserve the heritage treasure of the 1877 water driven flourmill on Keremeos Creek.

Committee discusses Similkameen watershed study Similkameen Valley Planning Society discusses contract award to Okanagan University College for Similkameen Watershed study By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The regional district’s Environment and Infrastructure Committee discussed an $88,000 contract to study the effects of logging on the Similkameen River watershed at a RDOS board committee meetings held on June 7. The Similkameen Valley Planning Society was recently awardered a $500,000 grant in order to conduct a comprehensive study known as the Similkameen Watershed Water Quality and Quantity Sustainability Plan. Currently in its initial stages, the study is in the process of organizing stakeholder and technical committees. In an effort to take advantage of up to date technology and information, an agreement was reached with University of BC Okanagan. Dr. Adam Wei will provide a PhD
student to complete the logging study and a thesis during the student’s four terms of study. Staff recommended awarding the study to the university on merit, without tender, as it was believed that a full equivalent study would not be otherwise locally achieveable. A funding agreement for the $500,000 GSGT grant has not yet been completed, so no contracts would be signed until the funding agreement’s terms have been decided upon. Even though most members of the committee agreed that the recommendation presented a cost effective opportunity, there was some objection expressed over contract language. “Academics tend to work in their own small circle and not be accountable,” said Area “F” Director Michael Brydon. He along with Area “D” Director Tom Siddon agreed that an agreement must be clear in terms of purpose. Brydon suggested that the inclusion of a reporting clause that would require the student to be accountable to the advisory committee, who would have veto power and be able to provide oversight, would also be appropriate. The committee voted in favour of an agreement with UBCO. The decision comes before the board for approval at this week’s board meeting.
Lower Similkameen Community Forest update Pine beetle kill part of harvest By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The Lower Similkameen Community Forest recently released its first newsletter, describing the community forest’s activities of late. The Lower Similkameen Community Forest program has seen 250,000 trees planted and harvested since its inception. This year, approximately 72,000 trees will be planted in the Placer Creek area. The LSCF’s latest permit area should be approved this month. Harvesting will occur in beetle infested pine and spruce in the Red Bridge area up the Crater Mountain Forest Service Road in the Ashnola. Ledcor and Weyerhaeuser have expressed an interest in purchasing sawlog and pulp from this permit. Last year, harvesting took place at 39 kilometre mark on the Young Creek area of the Ashnola drainage area. Jade Contracting began harvesting in December of 2011 and completed the cut by March of this year. A total of 10, 056
cubic metres was taken out of the area. Tree planting is scheduled to begin again as soon as the snow melts. In 2011, trees were planted in the Red Bridge, Wabnegger and Easygoing areas. One hundred and sixty hectares of land will be replanted under the Forests For Tomorrow program, with negotiations ongoing to secure work replanting trees in burned over areas where dead timber is still standing. Members of the Lower Similkameen Indian Band have been hired to do this work, which requires certified danger tree assessors.

By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com On June 13, Michael Garant, a paraplegic for the past eight years made a brief stop in Keremeos on a cross Canada tour to raise funds and awareness for Mira Foundation, suppliers of specially trained dogs to help handicapped people. Michael and his dog began their journey in Port Coquitlam and are destined for Quebec City, a distance of 7,302 kilometres. Garant hopes to be finished in less than 90 days. The cross country team stopped at Keremeos Village office where Mayor Bauer greeted them. What makes Garant’s journey unique is the fact that he pedals using his arms on a recumbent style bicycle. Garant is being aided by a motorhome with three assistants who are following him on his journey. He hopes to raise $150,000.

Tough drinking-driving penalties are now back in full force Procedural changes bring back B.C.’s tough drinking driving penalties Ministry of Justice press release B.C.’s tough administrative penalties for drinking and driving returned to the roadside on June 15, backed by a more fair, rigorous roadside and appeal process that became law this spring. The procedural changes preserve the life-saving, deterrent value of Canada’s toughest provincial penalties for alcohol-impaired driving, which first came into effect in September 2010. The B.C. government’s goal of reducing impaired driving fatalities by 35 per cent by the end of 2013 has already been surpassed. Our most-recent analysis shows that we have significantly exceeded the initial targets. Compared to the average over the previous five years, alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths have dropped by 44 per cent since the law came into force- with an estimated 71 lives saved. The amendments to the Motor Vehicle Act respond to a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that the original administrative review process did not provide a driver with the ability to meaningfully challenge the “fail” result of a roadside
Cawston Glass √ Rock Chip Repairs 250-499-2018
breath test. The amendments also enhance the fairness of both roadside and appeal processes. The following conditions now apply, regardless of whether a driver provides either a “warn” or “fail” breath sample at the roadside: - Police must advise drivers of their right to a second breath test on a second approved screening device (ASD). In the past, officers were not legally required to inform drivers of this right. - Police must tell drivers that the lower of the two readings will prevail. Previously, the results of a second test prevailed, whether higher or lower. - Grounds for administrative review now include the reliability of the ASD results, whether police advised the driver of his or her right to a second test, whether police conducted that second breath test on a second ASD, and whether the IRP was issued on the basis of the lowest reading. These grounds reflect the expanded requirements of police officers at the roadside. - Police officers must provide sworn reports to the superintendent of motor vehicles for every immediate roadside prohibition (IRP) they issue - increasing the evidentiary standard of the officers’ submissions. - Police officers must also submit documentation attesting to the calibra-
tion accuracy of the ASD device or devices that were used. These changes mean, effective June 15, IRPs resume as an alternative to the full Criminal Code process for drivers found in excess of the legal limit of .08 per cent blood-alcohol content at the roadside- the default approach for police since the court ruling last November.
Crime of the week Crime Stoppers and the police would like to warn owners of RV’s that leave their extension cords attached to their un-attended units to consider removing these cords due to the rash of extension cord thefts. These items are being stolen for their copper content. Anyone with information on the person/s responsible for these thefts is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or visit our website www.southokanagancrimestoppers.ca for other anonymous ways of passing on information. If your information leads to an arrest, you may qualify for a cash reward up to $2,000. Crime Stoppers is not a police program and does not subscribe to call display. You will never testify in court.

Cooler weather leads to persistent snowpacks Similkameen snowpack higher than normal, but flood threat is not forecast Contributed Weather Cool and dry conditions were present throughout most the province through May. Province-wide, temperatures were 0.5 to 1.0 C below normal. Very dry conditions were present through the Interior, Kootenay and Columbia regions. At the end of May, weather across the province transitioned into a persistent wetter pattern. Snowpack The cooler weather through May led to a delay in the onset of snow melt by two to three weeks. By June 1, the snow melt season was proceeding steadily, and notable melt has occurred since the May 15 survey. Significant snow packs are still present at high elevations across the province, with above average to well above average snow basin indices in all regions except the Middle Fraser and Okanagan. The delay in snow melt season, particularly in high elevation locations, has led to an increase from May 15 snow basin index values in the Upper Fraser, Nechako, North Thompson, Similkameen, South Coast, Peace and SkeenaNass (Map 1). Since the June 1 manual surveys were completed, significant additional snow melt has been observed at automated snow
pillow stations, so it is likely that similar additional snow melt has occurred at the manual snow survey sites. The Similkameen basin snowpack level is currently 183 per cent of normal as a result of the cooler spring weather. The River Forecast Centre continues to monitor snow and weather conditions across the province and when conditions warrant, provides advisories through media releases and on the River Forecast Centre website: http://bcrfc. env.gov.bc.ca/. The June 15 snow bulletin is expected to be released on or before June 25, 2012.
RDOS board makes application for Kenyon Park foreshore Kenyon Park in Okanagan Falls was established in 1978 through the donation of land by Mr. Harold Sidney Kenyon. The regional district recently acquired the parcel east of Kenyon Park which has increased the usability of the foreshore and park in the area for all residents. The foreshore application will provide the regional district authority over the crown land foreshore and an un-surveyed portion within Skaha Lake. The board approved that the RDOS will make application to the Province of BC for all that unsurveyed foreshore being part of the bed of Skaha lake and fronting on Kenyon Park for a period of 10 years.

Editorial
Can the SOEC ever make money? It was nice to see the South Okanagan Events Centre at near capacity last week when it hosted veteran rock and roller John Mellencamp. Add to that the box office receipts of the Penticton Vees spectacular season, and a few other acts that have done well this year - Paul Brandt, B.B. King and George Thorogood - and the City of Penticton should have what is shaping up to be a pretty good year for the entertainment complex. But the question remains - will the SOEC ever be a financial benefit to the taxpayers of Penticton? It’s great to have a venue large enough to attract the acts the SOEC can bring to the South Okanagan - Similkameen, but in the long run is its construction and operation fair to those who pay for it? The centre was built largely with Penticton and Canadian taxpayers money, who also shoulder the burden of any annual losses the building might generate. However, the operation of the venue has been left in charge of American firm Global Spectrum, who pockets profits from the acts they book into the centre. Many of the acts are American based, further dislocating local dollars.Take, for example, last week’s entertaining concert featuring John Mellencamp. How much of the revenue that his show generated will stay in Canada? An American performer, booked by an American entertainment company that also runs the facilty would seem to mean American profits being drained away from a Canadian market. Was any of the profits from last week’s concert left to relieve the burden on local taxpayers?

Study indicates national park is not a “magic bullet” for the South Okanagan-Similkameen By Steve Arstad The Review The South Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Program’s completed Biodiversity Conservation Strategy was introduced to the Regional District Planning and Development Committee at a recent meeting. The SOSCP hopes that local government will embrace the findings and recommendations of the report as they seek to protect and conserve the natural environment of the RDOS. The study raised some interesting points about environmental protection in the region - points that might challenge some current thought as to how best to protect the area’s natural environment. One of the study’s most significant revelations was the degree of importance it placed on protecting remaining natural habitat in the region’s valley bottoms. Half of all biodiversity values occur in the valley bottoms, even though it represents only one quarter of the strategy’s study
area. The strategy also pointed out that upland areas of the region are not as sensitive from a biodiversity standpoint. SOSCP Program Manager Bryn White told the committee, “We need to be focussed on the high biodiversity values of the valley bottom lands that remain.” The strategy findings and White’s comments are significant when one examines the regional debate taking place with respect to the formation of a national park in the area. The majority of land in the proposed national park consists of the much less valued uplands area of the regional district. It would appear that the formation of a national park in the proposed area would not likely have the desired effect on environmental protection, since the concentration of biodiversity in the area is relegated to valley bottoms. At the same time, the Kaleden waterfront property known as Sickle Point is an example of a lost opportunity to have an
important piece of undeveloped valley bottom land added to the biodiversity landbank. Several years ago the property came up for sale. While some interest was shown in acquiring the land for environmental protective purposes, it was deemed “too expensive” at the time to warrant consideration. Since that time, the property has been purchased by private interests, who have proceeded to cut down trees, bring in fill, and damage the waterfront riparian areas. Reports of the damage during the initial development phase from nearby landowners spoke of wildlife fleeing the area as excavators tore up their habitat. The shoreline of the property was damaged to the point that the regional district finally had a environmental restoration order applied to the property. According to the findings in the biodiversity study, Sickle Point would appear to be a perfect example of the type of land remaining in the valley
bottom that conservation efforts should be directed towards. Today the once riparian point remains stripped of most of its original vegetation, and most of the wildlife that used to frequent the point have long vanished. “All jurisdictions need to do something to protect biodiversity,” White told the board during her presentation, “there is no magic bullet.” What the strategy results may be indicating is that the focus for many environmental groups over the past 10 years - the formation of a national park - is not the answer to environmental protection in the South Okanagan Similkameen. The current national park proposal consists of a large block of land, made up largely of highland areas. It will not afford the biodiversity protection that a collective, unified effort to protect the remaining small portions of valley bottom that have environmental significance would have.

Federal Liberal leadership race better off without Rae To the Editor: Great news in the Herald June 14: “ Rae rules out run at Liberal leadership”. It appears to me that M.P. Bob Rae, the NDP one-term wrecking ball Premier of Ontario has finally seen the writing on the wall and finally smelled the coffee. What has Rae accomplished for Canada during his time at the trough, other than making more noise than a New Years Eve trumpet? Bob almost showed Canadians what little he had to offer when he jumped into the lake for a skinny dip with Rick Mercer. Now only - if only other Porko’s would give it up before our entire Canada is slaughtered, boiled or put to death by drowning in the Harper and puppets quest to jam leaking oil pipe-lines and such down the pipes of all Canadians. As far as B.C. wine being enjoyed by Albertans as stated by MLA Bill Barisoff . I would venture to say it’s nothing new and
has been that way - perhaps illegally for many a year as are so many other things to whine about. I would not pay a plugged nickel for a bottle of wine but I remember way back when people got scammed by Selena the boot legger when left short and parched for our Sunday gluts of beer. P.S. After hanging onto the telephone for 40 minutes I got to talk to some nice lady in a call center in China who answered my placed call to 1-800 234-6839 which is the number of Intex Corporation home base in California. Please give the Intex phone number a try if you want to get pi---d - off or laugh when the voice claims Intex prides itself on customer service and relations. Yes I am still waiting, as is the big W for a $1.30 cent washer. Tom Isherwood, Olalla
Liberal critic questions Conservative handling of Fisheries To the Editor: What will be left of Canada’s fisheries after the Conservatives are through? They voted to pass reckless changes to the Fisheries Act, which remove provisions that protect fish habitat from destruction. Habitat destruction is the most common reason for decline of a species. Without habitat, we can’t have healthy fish stocks. These changes undo the cornerstone of environmental law in Canada and have attracted widespread opposition—even from Conservatives. Former conservative fisheries ministers Tom Siddon and John Fraser have publicly opposed the changes. So have more than 625 scientists and former Liberal fisheries ministers Herb Dhaliwal and David Anderson. Existing laws can be improved, but these changes are being passed without the proper scrutiny they need to get the balance right. The Conservatives are ramming them through in their 400 page omnibus budget bill, leaving no time for proper study. They claim these changes are so essential that they have to be
passed right away, yet they didn’t even merit a single mention in the Conservatives’ recent election platform. The changes are part of a widespread, willing neglect for our fish by the Conservatives. While they have grown public spending by leaps and bounds over their six years in power, they have cut the Department of Fisheries and Oceans by over 25 per cent. Poor enforcement has greatly reduced the number of pollution and habitat violations that are pursued by DFO; indeed, convictions for violations are now almost nonexistent. Over 75,000 Canadians are directly or indirectly employed through our fisheries and many more fish for fun, with one in every seven adult Canadians applying for licences every year. Conservative MPs need to shake off the irongrip of the Prime Minister’s office, start thinking for themselves and protect our fish! Yours sincerely, Lawrence MacAulay, MP, Liberal Critic for Fisheries and Oceans
Wilf Miller wades into the local national park debate To the Editor: Along the roads and in the newspapers there are signs and articles outlining the pros and cons of a national park without one hint of what we are talking about. So, will someone clear the air and explain? Do you want us to go back to nature, or do you want the place built to a fictitious idea of what each individual or group thinks the park should be? Well, let’s look back a few years to the time when I first came to B.C. in 1939. I drove through here then. It was a total desert with a temperature of 110 degrees Fahrenheit. A few irrigation ditches were on one side of the road and sage brush existed on the other. The road was slippery wet with dead rattle-
snakes, bull snakes and frogs who were trying to cross the road to the irrigated field on the other side. The Great Northern railway was about to be abandoned, and there were no trees. All the trees you see now were planted by soldiers settling in the area following World War II. Previously this land belonged to the First Nations. The big rock on the outside of town (Standing Rock) has historic writing of aboriginals from Greece (so the scientists say), but present day graffitti obliterates most of it now. That is a disgrace, but I talked to the scientists that marked the original writings with a white indestructible paint, now almost destroyed by graffitti. Wilf Miller, Keremeos
“No park” signs not subject to vandalism as “pro park” signs are To the Editor Recently a Lower Similkameen resident exercised his democratic right to display a sign on his private property expressing support for the proposed South Okanagan Similkameen National Park Reserve. Sadly, his democratic right was not respected by some who have a differing opinion and in a few days the sign was vandalized in a crude and vulgar manner. It is interesting to note that each of the few
signs erected in support of the proposal have been vandalized while every “No Park” sign on display in the Similkameen valley remains untouched. Does this suggest that those who do not support a national park also do not support the concept of free speech, democratic rights, and acceptance of differing opinions? Respectfully, Lee McFadyen, Cawston

Grammy winning artist John Mellencamp rocked a full house at the South Okanagan Events Centre on June 14 with an energetic performance of his many top ten hits.
Mellencamp delivers Enthusiastic crowd is entertained by John Mellencamp during his first Penticton show By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com John Mellencamp kicked off the final leg of his “No Better Than This” international tour with a show at Penticton’s South Okanagan Events Centre on June 14. Mellencamp didn’t disappoint the packed house of mostly baby boomers, who gave the audience what they were looking for, with a high energy performance of a number of his most recognizable tunes. Opening with a gravel voiced version of Authority Song, Mellencamp had the audience on their feet immediately. He played a handful of more recent tunes, including the immensely relatable No One Cares About Me, a rousing, folksy lament about a middle aged man whose relationships have gone awry. Mellencamp then opted for a solo series, stepping into the spotlight for an acoustic version of Jack and Diane, adding some spartan touches of fiddle and accordian accompaniment to other songs in the accoustic set. “We’ve come millions of miles to see you,” he told the audience at one point, a reference, perhaps, to a career that has involved 40 wearying years of touring. With Mellencamp in Penticton was Michael Wanchic (guitar), Andy York (guitar), Miriam
Sturm (violin), John Gunnell (electric and upright bass), Dane Clark (drums and percussion) and Troye Kinnett (accordion/ keyboards). Mellencamp managed to squeeze many, if not all of his most recognizable tunes into the approximately hour and a half show, without compromising the quality of the performance. Following the solo set, Mellencamp and his band finished the evening with an energetic delivery of Mellencamp’s hits from the 80s, bringing the audience to its feet to sing along to such tunes as R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A., Rain On The Scarecrow, Paper In Fire, and Pink Houses, ending the evening with the the Mellencamp classic, Cherry Bomb. Receiving a standing ovation, Mellencamp bowed politely before exiting the stage. The enthusiastic crowd didn’t want the evening to end, maintaining an ovation for several minutes. With the Canadian tour taking in 19 performances in just under a month, however, Mellencamp understandably resisted the call for an encore. Special guests - and opening act, The Cowboy Junkies primed the audience with a short set that included some recent work by the Toronto based band, who recently released four titles over an 18-month stretch, including The Wilderness, volume four of The Nomad series. For those in the audience not thoroughly familiar with the group, an opportunity to make the connection was missed when the group failed to play their most recognizable tunes - Anniversary Song and Angel Mine.

Traditional Italian thin crust Pizza The traditional Margherita pizza is a simple pizza that relies on great basic ingredients to make a great pizza -- Italian Tipo 00 Pizza Flour, the best San Marzano Tomatoes, fresh Mozzarella, olive oil, and fresh Basil. The traditional Marinara uses tomatoes, garlic and oregano make a simple red pizza. The traditional Napoli includes fresh peeled tomatoes, fresh Mozzarella, olive oil, capers and anchovies. The best source in the Okanagan that I have found for authentic Italian ingredients is La Cucina European Market in Penticton. They have San Marzano tomatoes, type “00” flour, and authentic Italian mozarella. I have not yet discovered any other store in the Okanagan - Similkameen that stocks these particular basics for making authentic Italian pizza. Roland Krauer is a local contractor who has constructed five brick ovens in the region, with another one currently under construction. “I built one in my own backyard,” he told the Review. “Our guests really enjoy the cooking experience, then they want one, too.” Roland said that the “outdoor kitchen” concept is the latest rage. Outdoor ovens are conversation pieces, and prove to be extremely versatile cooking venues. Roland can build a basic oven for $3,000, with custom work such as tile or stone facings adding to the cost.

Transits of Venus can reveal many facts about our solar system
T
ransits of Venus were once the means by which we could measure the Solar System. Now we have radar and spacecraft that give us more accurate numbers than transits of Venus ever could. Moreover we can use these methods at times of our choosing, rather than opportunities eight years apart and separated by more than a century. Today the transits of Venus are finding a new use in searching for worlds beyond the Solar System. The most powerful method for
finding worlds orbiting other stars is to have sensitive instruments watching stars, waiting for those tiny drops in brightness as one or more planets orbit in front of them. In short, a transit of an alien planet in front of its star. That’s where the t r a n s i t s o f Ve n u s come in. We can see what information we can glean from the Ve n u s e v e n t s a n d try to get the same information from other transits. Some things are obvious, such as the time the planet moves in front of its star and when it moves away. How long it takes to cross its star’s disc is another piece of valuable information. Since the side of the planet facing us is dark, the depth of the drop in brightness tells us how much of its star’s disc it
covers, that is, how large the disc of the planet is compared the disc of its star. In many cases the time between successive transits will tell us how long the planet takes to orbit its star. Analyzing the light of the star by means of a spectroscope will show the tiny wobbling of the star as it and its planet circle one another. From this we can find the mass of the planet. Knowing its size we can estimate its mean density and what it’s made of, whether the planet is mostly gas or mostly rock. There’s more. Observers of Transits of Venus noticed that on occasion a bright ring surrounds the dark silhouette of the planet. This is sunlight being refracted through Venus’s atmosphere. En route the light picks up the signatures of chemicals
in the planet’s atmosphere. We know these chemicals are associated with the planet because stars are too hot for these chemicals to exist. With a bit more difficulty we can apply this technique to other stars. We cannot actually see the transiting planet, but we can see its contributions to the starlight, and we can detect what makes up its atmosphere. So, from observing two or more successive transits of a distant planet across the face of its star, we know its orbit, its distance from its star, its mass, what it is made of, its temperature and the chemicals in its atmosphere. We’d like to discover an alien planet about the mass of the Earth, with a temperature of about 20 degrees C and an atmosphere containing water vapour and oxygen. The only
way a planet can have oxygen in its atmosphere is if there is life something like ours present on that distant world. Is there someone out there somewhere observing the Earth transiting the face of the Sun and wondering about us? At 2309 UT (1909 EDT, 1609 PDT), the Sun will reach the northernmost point in its yearly travels ñ the summer solstice, marking the day with the most hours of daylight. Mercury is low in the west after sunset. Mars and Saturn dominate the southern sky. The Moon will be new on the 19th and will reach first quarter on the 26th. Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory, Penticton.

health beautiful nails and a beautiful garden
Yes, You can have both! By Deanna Klan
Every year at this time I see people who are saddened that they have destroyed their fingernails for the sake of their gardens, and they think it has to be this way. But it truly doesn’t, here is an easy plan to be able to have the best of both worlds. These tips will help if you have already ruined your nails or are about to launch into serious weeding or planting. The main objective is to keep nourishment in and water out. First of all and you know this, use gardening gloves, there are very good ones that will give you the ability to feel and pull out really small weeds. Next purchase a high quality cuticle cream, preferably one with lots of Shea butter, mango butter or hemp oil. Ideally it should be thick enough to not spill out of the jar, cuticle oil is good if you cannot find a rich cream. Keep this beside the bed where you can see it to remind you to put it on, until the habit is established (about three weeks) then you can put in a less obvious place but still handy to the bed. Use a small but adequate amount (don’t be stingy) and rub it into your cuticles and nails and you can go over dry nail polish or hardener. This should only take about five minutes and is best done at night just before you turn out the light, as then it will remain on the nails until morning. Have on hand a good nail file and use it at least twice a week for maintenance to keep the edges of your nails smooth and when a breakage occurs. If you have nails that are thin and peeling, a glass nail file will be your best option. Use a good quality nail hardener or base coat and a top coat. The base coat will keep out dirt and water out of your nails, a hardener will provide even more protection so that they will not break as easily either. The top coat will give a final seal to keep the nail edges protected. Do this twice a week after a quick file and removing old d base/hardener and top coats, this should take only ten minutes or so. Hint – store these items where they are convenient like a basket or a cupboard in the living room if you plan to do it while watching TV or close to the patio door if you will be outside enjoying a cup of tea or coffee. Have a professional manicure once in a while to address specific concerns and to learn if there is anything else that would help in your particular case. These little tips will give long lasting results if you make them a part of your routine. To make it easier here they are again in 3 easy steps: Use gardening gloves wherever possible Apply a cuticle cream or oil every night at bed time jApply a base or hardener depending on the condition of your nails and a top coat to seal the elements out twice a week (e.g. Sunday and Wednesday) If you have fallen behind in good nail habits and you are heading out to the yard for some extensive work, here is what to do instead of sacrificing your finger nails. Quickly slap on a coat of top coat or base coat or whatever is handy and allow it to dry for five minutes before going and doing your worst in the garden. At least you will have protected them a bit and will minimize the damage; afterwards you can remove it and get back to your routine again. Follow this advice and you should find great improvement in the appearance of your nails and for years to come, you can be enjoying the beauty of both your plants and hands.

AUXILIARY LABELS IMPORTANT
Pharmacists put auxiliary labels on prescription bottles to highlight something important about the drug within. At this time of year, you may see a label that says to avoid overexposure to the sun. It’s important to heed this warning. You can be more susceptible to sunburn due to the drug causing photosensitivity reactions.
BROAD SPECTRUM PROTECTION
When you are choosing a sun screen product, look for the ones labeled broad spectrum and have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or higher. This will better protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Also remember to put enough lotion on the skin.
ALLOW TIME TO BIND
To ensure you get the full benefit from your sunscreen, you need to apply at least 1 oz. Many people apply much less making the SPF rating of 15 much less. To allow the sunscreen ingredients to bind to the skin, apply at least 30 minutes before sun exposure.
FISH OIL & HEART HEALTH
Many people take fish oil capsules daily for better heart health. They take them for their omega-3 fatty acid content. One of the side effects for some people is a fishy aftertaste. This can be avoided by storing the capsules in the freezer. It won’t affect their action but will eliminate that fishiness afterwards. Now more than ever, pharmacists can work with you and your doctor to make sure you’re healthy as you can be. Talk to your pharmacist today.

Water works with Jeremy Part 6 As the summer heat begins to peak, agricultural users will be irrigating in full force By Jeremy Auger-Patry Keremeos Irrigation District As a large percentage of the water used in Keremeos is dedicated to agricultural use, farmers and orchardists should be using the most efficient irrigation systems available to enable long term, sustainable farming. Drip systems are common throughout the valley and for good reason; they are the most efficient system. Drip systems are normally 95 per cent efficient, meaning that 95 per cent of the water used goes to the roots of the plants. These systems also use only 0.3 – 2.0 gallons per hour per emitter which allows for easy control of excess watering and preventing runoff. Additionally, drip lines do
not promote humidity in the orchards, which reduces the likelihood of fungal diseases that attack fruit trees. In comparison to another common irrigation system, micro-sprinklers, drip systems are a favorable choice. Micro-sprinklers are normally 85 per cent efficient and use eight – 70 gallons per hour per emitter. These systems are very susceptible to wind, which in Keremeos, drastically impacts their day to day efficiency. These systems do promote a wider green belt than the drip system and do cut down on the amount of dust that will blow throughout the orchard. Most importantly however, these systems do increase the likelihood of diseases on the trees and vines due to the humid, water rich environment they produce above ground. Keep these facts in mind when deciding on which method to use to irrigate your crops, replacement to new systems may be costly, but in the long run it can increase your productivity while saving water.

Last Sept. 18 - 20, an international forum was held in Osoyoos to discuss the future of the lake, which straddles the Canada/U.S. border. The discussion brought together scientists, townspeople, agencies and politicians from the U.S. and Canada. Yesterday, the forum steering committee – with
representatives from the International Joint Commission (IJC), Environment Canada, the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB), Washington State’s Okanogan Conservation District, the Town Osoyoos, and the Oroville-based Lake Osoyoos Association – voted to direct the proceeds of the conference, $25,000, to water quality improvement projects for the lake. The Town of Osoyoos will receive
$12,500 to provide grants for projects on the Canadian side, and the Lake Osoyoos Association (a registered charity) will manage $12,500 for projects on the U.S. side. This is a one-time funding opportunity. “The committee was very pleased to be able to direct the funds this way,” noted Anna Warwick Sears, Executive Director of the OBWB. “Osoyoos Lake spans both sides of the border, so any
actions that are taken on the lake, affect the people, the animals, and the natural areas of the lake as a whole. It was a unanimous decision that the funds be shared to improve lake quality on both sides of the border, recognizing that all will benefit from the work.” Interest in crossborder collaboration is especially high this summer, as both countries enter into public consultation
for the renewal of the Osoyoos Lake Operating Orders, under the Boundary Waters Treaty which expire in February 2013. The orders spell out rules of operation for lake levels in summer and winter, and how these change in drought years. A report with recommendations from the International Osoyoos Lake Board of Control will be posted on the IJC website within the coming month,
and public meetings are scheduled for July 24 and 25 in Oroville and Osoyoos, respectively. The report is expected to address drought and flood control issues, climate change concerns, and the need to protect the health of the sockeye salmon run. A full 80 per cent of the sockeye returning to the Columbia River Basin (U.S. and Canada) are born in the Okanagan system.

WorkSafeBC supports B.C. 4-H Farm and Home Safety Conference October conference will provide safety education to 4-H attendees Contributed WorkSafeBC has provided funding in support of the B.C. 4-H Farm and Home Safety Conference. Ninety members and leaders will be attending the conference which will take place October 12 – 14 of this year. District Safety Coordinators (Leaders) and Club Safety Officers (members) will travel from across B.C. to Salmon Arm for three days of hands– on learning and safety awareness training related to farming, home and workplace settings. A variety of safety related topics will be explored from first aid/ first on scene, sun safety and hand tools to farm/ lawn equipment, social media, and underground and hidden hazards. Conference attendees will also be
provided with the tools to share this knowledge back in their home communities. B.C. 4-H is a unique co-ed youth organization with their roots in rural B.C. In more recent years, 4-H has also expanded into urban and suburban areas with a place for everyone to grow in a 4-H club! Through the continued support of the BC Ministry of Agriculture, private donors, and generous partners such as WorkSafeBC, B.C. 4-H has withstood the test of time as it approaches its 100th birthday in 2014. With youth run community clubs, that include a member-held safety officer position in every club, 4-H’ers learn how to run a meeting, keep accurate records, and have fun with a variety of projects. Projects include dogs, gardening, photography, small engines, bicycles and crafts, to the more traditional beef, poultry and dairy. Opportunities to travel, learn public speaking skills, and receive external
high school credits and scholarships, are just some of the benefits that go along with the fun, friendship and life skills development that happens when B.C. youth join 4-H. WorkSafeBC is a proud supporter of B.C. 4-H and is joined in support of this initiative by the Farm and Ranch Safety and Health Organization (FARSHA). The B.C. 4-H Provincial Council appreciates WorkSafeBC’s strong belief in the benefit of 4-H as a youth leadership program designed to develop selfconfident, responsible citizens who will become our knowledgeable, capable employees, employers and community leaders of tomorrow. For more information visit www.bc4h.bc.ca or contact us at mail@bc4h.bc.ca or 1-866-7760373. B.C. 4-H - Developing Leaders and Strengthening Communities – Since 1914

MANAGING Your Money
The trouble with loans to family or friends A friend or relative asks you for a loan. You want to help, of course, because you care. According to an Investors Group poll* 64% of Canadians surveyed agree with you, having loaned or borrowed more than $500 to or from family or friends. But your loan could prompt a payback you don’t expect, like stressing and straining your relationship with the borrower to the breaking point and beyond, and it could cost you a lot of money if the loan is not repaid. Of those polled, 26% reported that family/ friend loans were not fully repaid. 31% of the money lenders felt pressured to make the loan, and the 54% of those who experienced the greatest feeling of pressure did not get repaid at all. The majority of loans between friends or family were for moderate amounts, with 67% borrowing between $500 and $5,000, 14% borrowing between $5,000 and $10,000, and 15% borrowing more than $10,000. For both lenders and borrowers, top loan purposes were financial emergencies (25%), big-ticket purchases (15%), education (13%) and a home down payment (11%). Lesser priorities were house repairs (7%), starting a business or taking a vacation (both at 5%) or another big event (3%). One of the biggest mistakes that lenders to family or friends make is providing the loan without a written agreement. 83% of survey respondents said they made that mistake, and it’s easy to see why because a demand for formal documentation can be viewed by either party as a sign of mistrust. But that shouldn’t be the case. Asking for specific loan conditions or a pay-back plan in a written agreement will actually help you avoid trouble by reducing the potential for disagreements and relationship rifts. If you can’t bring yourself to ask for a written agreement, you should probably look for

some help. Your professional advisor can act as your mediator in a way that will not strain your relationship and a lawyer may be required to draft the written agreement. Your advisor can also show you how that loan could affect your overall financial objectives. *A total of 2,002 surveys were completed with Canadian adults between September 18th and September 24th 2008, using the Harris/Decima eVox online panel.

THE FUTURE IS YOURS How to find the right internship Recent college grads have found the job market to be somewhat underwhelming. Gaining the attention of a prospective employer is never easy, and it’s even less so when the economy is struggling. One of the ways current students or even recent graduates can make themselves more attractive to prospective employers is to find the right internship. Internships are not always easy to get, and many of them don’t pay. But students who find the right internship often look back and recognize that their internship was their first step toward a rewarding career, and a step that provided valuable insight into their chosen field. To find the right internship, consider the following tips. * Work with your school. Whether you’re in college or you’re that rare high schooler looking for an internship, lean on your school for direction and advice. Colleges and universities have career centers that can help you gain an internship. They can assist you through access to job listings and by providing advice on crafting resumes and cover letters or tips on how to interview. In addition to your school’s career center, speak to professors in your desired field and seek their advice. Many professors likely have experience in the field outside of the classroom and might even still work in the field, be it full-time or as a consultant. These professors can point you toward job opportunities or give you advice on what prospective employers are looking for from an intern. * Start early. It’s never too early to start looking for an internship. In fact, many companies hope to have their internship positions filled well in advance. For example, if you’re looking for a summer internship, begin your search no later than January and continue that search throughout the semester. In addition to starting early, don’t just seek summer internships. Some companies make internship opportunities available year-round, so you might be able to get one that coincides with the school year, even if you had a previous internship with a different company during the year. Internship experience is invaluable, and the more of it you can gain the more attractive you are likely to be to potential employers after graduation. * Do your homework. Chances are you’re working toward a degree in a specific field. Research the leading companies within that field and learn about their internship programs. Visit each company’s Web site and peruse their job listings. This is more direct and takes less time than searching for internship opportunities on the large job listing Web sites. Such sites might have internship listings, but searching through them can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. * Do some networking. You might not have an expansive network of associates to tap into, but that does not mean you should go it alone. Talk to your parents to see if they or someone they know has heard about any internship opportunities in your chosen field. You might also be able to network via your school’s career center, which likely has an alumni-networking service that enables you to contact past graduates currently working in your chosen field. In some instances, these alumni-networking services can be an internship gold mine, as past graduates might prefer to hire current students from their alma mater as opposed to applicants from other schools. Competition for internships is often steep, and that’s especially so when the economy is struggling and even recent graduates are hoping to land internships. But students can employ several strategies to find the right “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, internships and take their first steps toward rewarding careers. committed citizens can change the world. Indeed,
Congratulations to the Graduating Class of 2012 Celebrate your success!
it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead US anthropologist & popularizer of anthropology (1901 - 1978)
Commitment to making the world around you a better place requires thoughtful consideration of consequences, both short and long term. Graduates, you hold the promise for our future, as you have learned much through your schooling. As you move out into the world, remember the lessons of life are learned by watching and listening; never assume a person or a situation does not have anything to teach you. Best wishes for your prosperity! Angelique Wood
