Similkameen BBQ King is coming up Contributed by Sarah Harker, Similkameen Wineries As summer is quickly approaching, so is the 2012 Similkameen BBQ King. This truly unique Similkameen wine and food experience is a competition where eight featured chefs compete for the title of Similkameen BBQ King or Queen. The event is on July 14 from 5-8 p.m. at the historic Grist Mill and Gardens in Keremeos. The eight competing chefs will create unique dishes using ingredients from the Similkameen Valley. Attendees at the event will go from station to station enjoying the foods prepared by each chef, along with Similkameen wines specifically paired to go with each dish, and then all attendees get the opportunity to cast their vote for the Similkameen BBQ King or Queen. Sara Harker, President of the Similkameen Wineries Association explained, “This event truly is an extraordinary evening and a very special Similkameen experience. It features eight of the top chefs from the region, who create amazing dishes for all of our guests to enjoy. Each dish is paired with wine from one of our eight Similkameen Wineries Association member wineries. The Grist Mill provides a stunning venue for the event.” In addition to the amazing food and wine at this event, there will also be live entertainment by local musicians Destin and Rob, plus a silent auction that is a partial fundraiser for the Grist Mill, which is a Heritage BC site. ” Tickets for the 2012 Similkameen BBQ King are $75 and are available now. They can be purchased at any of our member wineries, at the Keremeos Visitor Centre, via PayPal at www.SimilkameenWine.com or by calling Kim at 250.488.0878.

Council debates donation policy CAO advises policy be put in place regarding charitable donations on behalf of the village By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Keremeos council received a donation from the Keremeos Volunteer Fire Department at the regular meeting of council on June 18. The volunteers presented the village with a cheque for $750 to go towards the construction of an overhang for the serving area of the community kitchen, located at the village infocentre. The money comes from funds raised through the department’s famous pancake breakfasts in Memorial Park during the Keremeos Rodeo. Cathedral Ridge Construction’s Evin Hartfield is generously donating his labour to the overhang construction project. Council dealt with a request form the Keremeos Community Church for a donation towards a local children’s camp. The Keremeos Community Church will be hosting its fourth annual kids’ camp, involving approximately 400 children from various communities in B.C., 60 of whom came from the Similkameen to last year’s camp. In the past two years, previoius council donated $100 to the event. Councillors Evans and Thielmann excused themselves from council debate over the issue, as they are members of the church. Debating the administrative recommendation - that council donate $200 to the camp Mayor Manfred Bauer expressed reservations about donating public funds to faith based organizations, noting that the community has several churches that could make a similar request to council. “It sets a precident,” Bauer told remaining council members. “I’ve spoken to a number of (RDOS) directors - they don’t use public funds for this type of donation.” Bauer said that it would be more appropriate for council to make personal donations to this
sort of function if they wished. Councillor Cowling noted that previous council had donated to the group in the past, commenting that no other denomination had come forward to request donations. “I’m starting to see your arguments for that side of it,” Councillor Arlow said in response to Bauer’s comments, “Thanks for bringing that up.” “This recommendation also represents a 100 per cent increase over previous donations,” Bauer added. Chief Adminstrative Officer Laurie Taylor pointed out to council that the village had no policy on donations, and a precident had already been set with the church because donations had been given for the past two years. “There is usually a policy in place before denying,” Taylor informed council. After a short discussion, it was agreed to reduce the request to $100, and direct staff to draft a policy with respect to donations The motion carried. CAO Taylor reported that the village road paving work was complete, with some pothole repair work remaining to be carried out in the next week. The sidewalk connecting the pool with Veterans Avenue was also finished. Taylor also reminded council that the Liquid Waste Management Plan would be back on the table in August, at stage three. Cost estimates and construction timelines for the water reservoir are in the process of being calculated. A referendum on the project could take place in September. The village’s new website is expected to be online by September 1. Concerns over recent changes to the intersection at Seventh and Seventh were expressed to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Increasing summer traffic is sometimes backing up in the westbound lane, and fears were expressed that this could cause traffic problems during the peak traffic season. Council adopted the fees and charges amendment bylaw in addition to the freedom of information amendment bylaw, both of which had been discussed and read at previous meetings.

Starling control program continues trapping, research By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Connie Bielert of the BC Grape Growers Association, along with Similkameen grower Roger Hall, addressed the regional district Environmental and Infrastructure Committee to bring them up to date on the starling control program on June 21. The starling control program, which started as a pilot project in 2003, is now in the final year of a five year funding program involving the three regional districts of the Okanagan, each of whom contribute $25,000 per year. The agricultural community contributes $31,000 annually. Bielert said that the program has been conducting research into starling migration, having developed a method of “fingerprinting” the birds so that their location of origin can be identified. Research has shown that winter populations increase regardless of how many birds are trapped the previous summer. Five trappers work the Okanagan and Similkameen valleys, three in the South Okanagan alone. The best locations for trapping the birds are found in feed lots and on dairy farms. (In the Lower Similkameen, a favoured trapping location is located near the turkey farm.) Birds analyzed for their “fingerprint” have revealed the following results: - No birds were found that derived from Washington, the North Okanagan, or Quesnel. - Five per cent came from the Grand Forks area. - Ten per cent were from the South Okanagan. - Forty -five per cent came from Kelowna. - Forty per cent were of unknown origin, meaning the location had either not been identified in
matching samples or the right location hadn’t been found yet. In 2011, 27,713 starlings were trapped in the RDOS, up from 15,369 in 2003. The RDOS is the only regional district involved in year round trapping activities, at a cost of $38,325 for the South Okanagan and $9,180 for the Similkameen. The trapping program’s success can be measured by such things as the reduction in propane cannon useage during the growing season. Agriculturalists also note a decrease in bird damage to crops and a reduction in the cost of bird control measures. Bielert assured the directors that the group would be seeking funding again next year. They continue to focus on research and trapping, in addition to attempting new intiatives involving public education, a starling awareness program to help identify nesting sites, and collaboration with other starling control groups. Bielert also advocated bylaws that encouraged building designs that would reduce urban nesting sites, citing Kansas City and the United Kingdom as two places where such legislation has had an effect. “Starlings are urban dwellers,” Hall informed the committee, “Their origins are in urban areas but they head to the country to eat.” Several directors were concerned with the funding split, commenting that agriculturalists should be providing matching funding from the regional districts. It was also noted that the program provided benefits to attempts to maintain biodiversity, as the species was an extremely invasive bird that could pose a threat to other birds and species if left unchecked.

Editorial Blame game a waste of time At the June 21 regular board meeting of the regional district directors, issues surrounding the KVR lands in Lower Kaleden made the agenda once again. Concerns over a variance application for an Alder Avenue residence, and the recent removal of trees on the privately owned siding property had Area “D” Director Tom Siddon endeavouring to represent his Kaleden constituents who were upset by the activity. Fortunately for Mr. Siddon, the furore over what is happening on the Lower Kaleden waterfront is not his responsibility; this is a mess he inherited with the directorship last fall. Lately there have been undertones of blame (present at the June 21 meeting as well) for the waterfront problem, pointing a finger at the private landowner holding title to the siding lands that are key to through passage of the KVR trail. The truth of the matter is, there is lots of blame to go around. Why pick on any one person or organization? The issue has been festering since the last train pounded through Kaleden in 1989, and the destiny of the railway line was sealed. Twenty-three years of successive local and provincial governments, as well as local concerned residents failed to put the safeguards in place in Kaleden that would have secured through title for a trail. Just prior to the private purchase of the railway siding in 2010, the previous regional district board discussed the provision of a right of way across the property in a committee session - but nothing was ever done. Newsletter articles prior to 1999 explained the situation to residents, but nothing was ever done. As the emotionally charged debate continues, we hope residents will keep these facts in mind - because it appears that at this stage of the process, playing the blame game is doing nothing to move the process forward.

‘Poverty’ declines, nobody notices By Tom Fletcher Black Press You probably didn’t hear this on TV, the percentage of Canadians deemed “low income” went down slightly in 2010, according to the latest Statistics Canada analysis. This news was delivered in the annual “Income of Canadians” report last week. The share of people who fall below the federal Low-Income Cut-Off (LICO) went from 9.5 per cent to 9.0. The CBC couldn’t bring itself to admit any actual improvement, reporting on its website that the number of people with “low income” was about three million, “virtually unchanged from 2009.” Other media outlets followed the unwritten rule that nothing remotely positive must be presented as news, particularly if it reflects positively on a right-wing government. (Plus they had the Montreal body-parts case to update each day.) This information likely won’t have any effect on
the political discussion about “poverty” in B.C. The LICO survey will continue to be used as a measure of absolute poverty, despite the fact that it isn’t. It’s a relative measure that will always designate the same share of people at the low end of the scale. BC Stats, the provincial equivalent of the federal agency, explained this problem in a special report last year. “To illustrate,” the report said, “take a hypothetical future Canada where every citizen earns no less than $100,000 (and assume there has not been rampant inflation in the meantime, such that buying power is not dissimilar to what exists today) and millionaires are common. “In that kind of Canada, those at the low end of the income scale (that is, those earning ‘merely’ $100,000) would be considered poor if LICOs were used as a measure of poverty.” Math aside, that’s the alleged “poverty line” routinely cited by the usual media authorities, like
B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair. Sinclair campaigned for years to get the B.C. government to raise the minimum wage from $8 to $10 an hour. They did, in three increments, and on May 1 it increased to $10.25 an hour. As soon as the series of three increases was announced last November, Sinclair called a news conference to announce it’s not enough. To get to the LICO level, the minimum wage should be $11.50 an hour, Sinclair said. Of course, if B.C. businesses ponied up for that, the goalposts would shift again and the same proportion of “poverty” would magically still exist. The B.C. NDP government-in-waiting continues to demand an “action plan” on poverty, with annual goals. All the progressive provinces have one, which I guess is why poverty is all but eradicated in enlightened places like Manitoba. There are signs of the reality behind this political smokescreen. Here’s one.
For what may be the first time in history, we now have a North American society where one of the most reliable indicators of poverty is obesity. This often gets explained away with a popular theory that poor people are somehow forced to eat fast food and drink pop because they can’t afford healthy food. People who advance this theory presumably don’t do much grocery shopping. There are plenty of processed, sugary, fat-laden choices at the supermarket too. But there is also whole wheat bread, rice and fresh or frozen vegetables that are as cheap as anywhere in the world. Given basic cooking skills and some effort, it’s easy to demonstrate which diet is cheaper as well as healthier. Most immigrants know this. Which diet you choose isn’t a function of money, but rather one of education and selfdiscipline. There is genuine poverty in our society. One of the things that’s needed is a useful way to define it.

letters To the Editor: I disagree with Lee McFadyen’s letter in the June 21 issue of the Keremeos Review. She has written an accusatory letter with no apparent foundation in fact. She has insinuated that the honourable members of the LRMP, the Grasslands Coalition, the Cattlemen’s Association, the Keremeos Gun Club and hundreds of private citizens in the Simikameen and Okanagan valleys - all respectable organizations and individuals that do not support the development of a national park, would waste their valuable time and energy to deface a pro park sign. She has stated that none of the “No Park” signs have been vandalized. Of the dozens of “No Park” signs, there have been at least five signs in the Similkameen valley that have been defaced. I know this for a fact as I was personally involved in repainting them. Two other signs have been stolen, and an-
other in Oliver, making eight in total vandalized. The “No Park” signs are quietly maintained. Welcome, Ms. McFadyen, to a consequences of exercising a democratic right. I am insulted by Ms. McFadyen’s blatant insinuation that those of us “who do not support the national park also do not support the concept of free speech, democratic rights and the acceptance of differing opinions.” The hard won democratic right to freedom of speech has been used in a cavelier manner by Ms. McFadyen. All democratic rights come with a caveat of responsibilities. When the democratic right to freedom of speech is targetting any individuals or groups of individuals, that speech should be supported by facts, not unfounded assumptions, and should be delivered in such a manner that attend to those responsibilities. Respectfully, Mary Nash, Cawston
Conservative kitchen-sink bill abuses our democracy To the Editor, The Conservatives rammed through the House of Commons an omnibus budget bill that is sweeping in scope, deeply flawed in content, and anti-democratic in principle. The Harper Conservatives have eliminated independent bodies like the National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy that offer advice it may disagree with. Also, by gutting fifty years of environmental protections, the government has given itself the unilateral power to green-light major and potentially harmful resource development projects without adequate scrutiny. This bill makes changes to the Fisheries Act that could endanger many fish populations, including the migratory salmon, a timeless presence on the Canadian landscape, not to mention a staple of the economy. Against the advice of many experts, the government will be raising the qualifying age from 65 to 67 for Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement, beginning in 2023, thus robbing vulnerable senior citizens of up to $30 000 in much needed income.
As if targeting seniors isn`t enough, the new changes in Employment Insurance will impact those who work in seasonal employment and the government did not even bother to consult employers or the provinces which will be most impacted. In addition to criticizing specific measures in this budget bill, the major problem is that it amends, creates or eliminates 70 different federal acts. By burying dozens of significant and damaging changes within a “kitchen sink” bill, the government is preventing Members from doing their job by giving these changes proper consideration and scrutiny. While undermining the role of Parliament, Bill C-38 is a clear abuse of power and makes a joke of democracy. Once again, Canadians are kept in the dark and it is of the utmost importance that we raise awareness to this unprecedented situation. The Liberal Party will continue to fight against this kind of antidemocratic abuse of power. Sincerely, Marc Garneau, MP Liberal House Leader
BCGEU says: Don’t drop public liquor higher prices and lost provincial revenue if LDB privatized CNW Group Ltd The BCGEU today launched a new website in its public awareness campaign opposing the privatization of the Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) warehouse and distribution service. The website, DontDropPublicLiquor.ca, explains the merits of the LDB system that has served British Columbians for decades. It also explains BCGEU proposals to increase LDB revenues to help pay for public services. “It makes no sense to sell-off this important, revenue generating, public asset,” says BCGEU president Darryl Walker. “In the last five years, the liquor distribution and retail system contributed $4.3 billion to help pay for public services such as health care, education and highways. Next year alone, it will generate more than $900 million for public services.” The government has presented no business case for the sell-off of the LDB. There was no public consultation on the privatization of the LDB and none is planned. “The mix of rural agency stores, privately
operated neighbourhood stores and government liquor stores with consistent province-wide prices, all supported by central distribution, works well for consumers,” says Walker. “The LDB system should not be fractured.” In his review of government operations in Ontario, Don Drummond, former Chief Economist with the TD Bank, rejected the sell-off of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. Instead, he called for the opening of additional public liquor stores and the full utilization of the LCBO’s purchasing power to improve profits and create additional revenue. The BCGEU is calling on the provincial government to take the same approach in B.C. Also opposing the privatization of the LDB are private liquor store owners and some small brewers who say the sell-off will lead to higher prices for consumers.

Construction of the Okanagan Falls boat launch in October of 2008. The ramps in Kaleden and Okanagan Falls, constructed less than four years ago, have damage that appears to have been caused by erosion.
Review archive photo
$25,000 and three years later, rebuilt Kaleden ramp sees little use By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The boat launches on Kaleden and Okanagan Falls shoreline are in need of repairs - after being in the water for less than four years. The two launches, of similar Photos by Steve Arstad design, were constructed in the fall of 2008 (Okanagan Falls) and 2009 (Kaleden). The Kaleden launch experienced lengthy construction delays, partly due to an extensive environmental permitting process. The Kaleden launch cost $25,000, the Okanagan Falls launch cost roughly the same. The launches consist of a single, flat concrete slab and a series of concrete “steps� spaced at regular intervals descending into the water. The concrete slabs are tied to each other by chains, and appear to have had their bases eroded by wave action. Several of the The Kaleden boat launch (top photo) and the Okaconcrete “steps� have partially collapsed, nagan Falls launch.

Loyal fan base in Cawston The local community was out in full force to support the Kobau Koyotes at a recent ball tournament in Cawston. At least three hundred friends, family and fans showed up to show their support for the local girls team. Unfortunately, the Koyotes lost in the final game against Naramata, a team they beat all season during league play. The girls and coaches were disappointed with the final loss, but all in all they had a great season winning 3/3 out of town tournaments and winning the U14 spring league. Photo contributed

The museum is fundraising to restore this pioneer piece of transportation.
Trade in your pennies for a new set of wheels Contributed by Judy Chisholm The South Similkameen Museum Society is looking for a wagon load of pennies for our latest restoration project. We’re bringing the Keremeos Museum’s wagon back to life, starting with the wheels, and we need your help. The chuck wagon, donated by Ed Paulson in 1982, is at least 80 to 90 years old and comes from a ranch located halfway between Keremeos and Cawston now known as the Rocking Chair Ranch.

Comments invited on development of ALC fee structure Ministry of Agriculture The Ministry of Agriculture is inviting public comment on developing the Agricultural Land Commission’s (ALC) fee structure to support its evolution into a more self-sustaining organization. The survey seeks comments on four areas the ALC has identified as possible sources to augment its provincial funding: 1. A review of existing ALC application fees, which were last increased in 2002, for exclusion, subdivision, non-farm use and utility corridor applications. 2. A new service fee to support the ALC’s work to ensure that criteria on conditionally approved applications are met. 3. A new fee for the ALC’s ongoing monitoring and site inspections of long-term approvals. 4. A new fee for the ALC’s oversight and administration of delegation agreements with local governments and other authorities. The funding derived from these sources is intended to provide the
ALC with the ability to focus on its core mandate of encouraging farming, as well as improving compliance and enforcement activities, online resources, training for staff and commissioners and conducting targeted Agricultural Land Reserve boundary reviews. The survey provides an opportunity for British Columbians to contribute to the strengthening of the ALC. Comments can be provided at: http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/ aboutind/ALC_Consultation\index.htm and will be accepted until July 8. At the end of the process, a summary of public comments will be posted on the website. The amended fee structure is the latest step in a comprehensive reform package for the ALC that began in November 2011. This package includes $1.6 million in transitional funding and legislative changes supporting the ALC’s focus on its core functions of preserving farmland, encouraging farming and farming’s transition to a more sustainable operating model.
Mortgage insurance that works for YOU
us seek the protection of mortgage insurance to make sure our home will always be there for our family come what may. And it is the right and prudent thing to do. What isn’t always the best solution is assuming that mortgage life insurance is the only option for this protection. Sure, it’s easy to do as mortgage life insurance is typically offered as part of your lender’s mortgage package and the cost of coverage is simply folded into your monthly mortgage payment. But that may not be the best option for you. Here’s why: When you get mortgage insurance from your lender … • The lender is the beneficiary of the policy. There are no cash values and coverage expires when the mortgage is paid off. • Coverage decreases as the mortgage is paid down but your premiums remain the same or increase over the term of the mortgage. • The lender’s policies may allow them to adjust your premiums or even change or cancel the policy at any time. • If you decide to move your mortgage to another lending institution for a better rate, it is likely your existing mortgage life insurance may not be moved. • The mortgage insurance is not customized to your situation, and may not provide the right type of insurance coverage for your needs. When you use a personal insurance plan to cover mortgage debt … • YOU own the policy and your designated beneficiaries can choose how to use the funds to pay off the mortgage, provide a monthly income, or take care of immediate needs. • YOUR coverage doesn’t decline with your mortgage balance. Coverage continues after the mortgage is paid, protecting your beneficiaries for the life of the plan. • YOU, and only you, can cancel or make changes to your personal plan. And premiums are guaranteed for the life of the plan. • Move to another home, move to another
MANAGING Your Money mortgage, and your personal insurance plan goes with YOU. • Your premium is based on YOU, your age, health and smoking status. • Your policy is designed for YOU by an expert consultant to be exactly what you need, with premiums that suit your budget. Mortgage protection is the right and prudent thing to do, but be sure it protects YOU and not the lender. Your professional advisor can help you choose protection that works for YOU and integrates seamlessly with your overall financial plan.

SESS welcomes news of playground grant By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com An additional $3.3 million is being provided for 80 schools across all 60 school districts for the repair, improvement and replacement of playgrounds, Education Minister George Abbott announced on June 21. This is the final phase of an $8-million playground funding commitment made by Premier Christy Clark and Abbott last September, bringing the total number of schools benefiting from the two-year program to 227 provincewide. For the first phase of the program, the B.C. government provided more than $2 million to 23 school districts
for new playground equipment at 41 schools without playgrounds.Under the second phase, 106 parent advisory councils in 34 school districts were reimbursed over $2.4 million for the purchase of new playground equipment. School District 53 (Okanagan Similkameen) was the recipient of $50,000, which will go towards the replacement of playground facilities at Similkameen Elementary Secondary School. “We’re ecstatic,” said SESS Prinicipal Marcus Toneatto over the funding announcement. Tentative plans for the money will see the school relocate the present aging playground to the rear of the school, where a few items from the old playground will be included in the
new facility. The present playground will be completely removed from the front of the school. It is also hoped that a sports court can be constructed in the paved area to the rear of the school where the basketball hoops are located.

Get a “Strange…but True?” summer reading list Ok Regional Library press release Summer vacation is almost here, and it’s a time when schoolaged children can fall victim to the dreaded “summer slide” by losing part of the literacy skills they’ve learned over the year. The Okanagan Regional Library (ORL) branches are ready to help combat this trend in a couple of ways – through customized booklists and the annual Summer Reading Club (SRC). SRC is a tradition throughout libraries in BC, reaching over 85,000 students, and made possible thanks to sponsorship from the BC Library Association and the Ministry of Education, and with help from local Friends of the Library groups. This year’s Summer Reading Club theme is “Strange…but True?”, encouraging students to explore myths, monsters, and mysteries of science. Each of the ORL’s 29
branches will be holding a multitude of special activities, events, and contests. Registration is free; visit the webpage of your local branch at www.orl.bc.ca/branches to find out about their events and registration dates. Summer is also a time when school-aged children have an opportunity to read whatever they want for fun and entertainment. Series like “Harry Potter” and “Twilight” have sparked a whole new generation of readers, but these popular titles are only the tip of the literary iceberg for kids. ORL librarians are ready to help them discover new reads by creating customized booklists for children. Simply visit www.orl.bc.ca/ kids/booklist, fill in information about interests and favourite reads, and within a week, a customized booklist will be sent with five suggested titles to read over the summer.
Valley First shatters food donation target Contributed Valley First announced last week that less than five months into its year-long Feed the Valley food drive, it has surpassed its 2012 target of 6,500 pounds in donations. On Feb. 7, in recognition of its 65th anniversary, Valley First challenged its members and employees to donate 6,500 pounds of food to Feed the Valley by the end of the year. The Valley First branch that gathered the largest weight contribution toward this target committed to donating $6,500 to its local food bank. In less than five months since laying down the challenge, Valley First has collected 6,865 pounds of food for food banks across the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson valleys. Leading the
charge was Valley First’s Armstrong branch which collected 1,950 pounds, netting $6,500 for the Armstrong Food Bank in the process. “To collect almost 7,000 pounds in less than five months is a tremendous effort,” says Valley First president Paulette Rennie. “Our members and employees responded to this friendly challenge with overwhelming enthusiasm. Their efforts have created a real win for the food banks in our region.” Last year, Feed the Valley was recognized as a leading corporate citizenship program when it received a Central 1 Credit Union inNOVAtion award. The good work being achieved by the Feed the Valley program has now started to be recognized beyond credit union circles.

Exploring the stuff between the stars
T
here is a frontier in space where the realm of the Sun ends, where the Solar System gives way to interstellar space. This is not an arbitrary line like the ones we draw on Earth through political negotiation; it is a real place. It is where the weakening flow of the solar wind is finally brought to a standstill by the dust, gas and magnetic fields lying between the stars. We have accomplished a lot since the beginning of the space age in October, 1957. However, most
of those achievements lie within the orbit of the Moon, less than 400,000 km from the Earth. With a couple of exceptions, all of our other space triumphs lie within the Solar System, within the orbit of Pluto, roughly 5.5 billion kilometres away. However, one spacecraft has crossed that frontier into interstellar space, and another is about to. In 1972 a spacecraft called Pioneer 10 was launched into the outer Solar System. Its mission was to explore the outer planets, but like many spacecraft, it achieved much more. In 1973 it crossed through the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. In November 1973 it flew past Jupiter and continued on beyond the planets. As the
spacecraft got further from Earth, its signals weakened. They were further reduced by the gradual running down of its nuclear power source. On 23 January, 2003, after a 30-year mission, its signals were lost. At the time it was about 12 billion kilometres away. It has probably crossed the frontier by now, but silently. In 1997 two spacecraft, Voyagers 1 and 2, were launched. Their mission was to visit the outer planets. Voyager 2 was on a more leisurely orbit, so Voyager 1 has raced ahead. The Voyagers succeeded in their intended mission marvellously well, and are still operating. Voyager 1 is now about 18 billion kilometres away and still sending back data, and what it is sending is fascinating. It is telling us that the
solar wind is weakening rapidly, and the amount of cosmic radiation, high-energy particles from interstellar space, which are largely blocked by the solar magnetic field, is increasing rapidly. It is close to the frontier. We will know exactly when Voyager leaves the Solar System when the Sun’s magnetic field gives way to that of the Milky Way. We are really looking forward to the data coming back to us after that crossing. Radio astronomy has taught us, and continues to teach us about the material between the stars, how it contains the remains of extinct stars and planets, material dating back to the beginning of the universe, and how new stars and planets form from it. However, we have never had a direct look it, and
never on such a small s c a l e . Te l e s c o p e s don’t show you magnetic fields, just their consequences. Voyager will see them directly, by being there. There is a sequence in one of the Star Trek movies where a Klingon spaceship happens upon Pioneer 10, somewhere out there between the stars. One Klingon says to the other, “I bet you can’t hit that”. Hopefully, real aliens will be kinder. Mercury is low in the west after sunset. Mars and Saturn dominate the southern sky. The Moon will be at first quarter on the 26th, and full on the 3rd.

health STAGES OF CHANGE
UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS By Shannon Romano
When it comes to changing health behaviour, understanding our readiness, appreciating barriers, and preparing for relapse are important aspects to the process. Behaviour change is rarely a discrete and singular event. For most people, change happens gradually and in a non linear fashion. Advancing our understanding of this process is helpful to reaching and maintaining our health and fitness goals. In the past, programs aimed at health promotion have been designed as a one size fits all model. The high failure rate in such programs, predominantly in the diet and fitness industry, have taught us that one size does not fit all. An important development in the field of health promotion and behaviour change is, The Stages of Change Model. The developers of this model studied ways in which people quit smoking and extrapolated their findings to help people change a variety of behaviours including exercise and dietary habits. There are six stages to the model. The first of which is Precontemplation. A person at this stage is either unaware or unwilling to make change. This can result from denial of how serious the problem is to repeated attempts to change, resulting in the person giving up. Next is Contemplation. People at this stage are ambivalent about changing. They are often undecided about giving up a behaviour that brings them some pleasure, despite the benefits of change. During this stage, it is important to assess the pros and cons of the behaviour and desired change, as well as any barriers that stand in the way. The third stage is Preparation and could be described as the experimental stage because it is often useful at this point to try different things to see what fits for you and then begin to make small, specific changes. Following Preparation is the Action stage. This stage is self explanatory but is often arrived at without appreciation for the previous stages. Hence, New Years Resolutions when we jump right into action without contemplation or preparation. Although modifying behaviour is often the most recognizable part of the change process, it is far from the most important one. It is key to understand that the Action stage is not the only time you move toward your goal and that much of your change happens prior to Action. In fact, the majority of work involved in lasting change is mental and emotional. Next is Maintenance and Relapse Prevention. While there are challenges at every stage, Maintenance may be the toughest because it is here that you must manage to consolidate all the change you’ve made in the previous stages. Maintenance can jlast from 6 months to a lifetime. Without a strong commitment to maintenance, there will surely be relapse. When relapse occurs, and it almost always does, it should be viewed as a normal part of the process rather than a failure. In fact, it is helpful to view relapse as an opportunity to learn something new about ourselves and the process of change. People who relapse are often mislabelled as unmotivated or as failures. Not only is this not helpful, it ignores the complexity of the behaviour change process. The sixth and final stage of the model is Termination, the ultimate goal for all changers. Once Termination has been reached, your old behaviour will no longer hold any temptation. You will have complete confidence that the change you have achieved is permanent without fear of relapsing into old behaviour. This final stage is controversial as many argue that we are always vulnerable to relapse despite our level of confidence in the new behaviour. I suggest such controversy serves no purpose if we continue to view lapses as a normal part of the change process and as opportunities for personal growth and self exploration, rather than self loathing and blame.

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.

PLAN NUMBER 5-2-655
CHARMING TWO-BEDROOM BUNGALOW Don’t let its modest appearance deceive you — this charming twobedroom bungalow contains all the amenities desired by today’s family. Entry is through a covered porch, which will provide protection from inclement weather. In the foyer, above the convenient coat closet, is a display space for collectibles. The spacious, well-lit great room features a fireplace and a vaulted ceiling, which extends over the kitchen. Separated from the great room by an island with a raised eating bar, the open-plan kitchen will allow the cook to keep tabs on activities nearby. A U-shaped counter configuration will save steps, and there’s a generous pantry. The dining area, located in a deep bay off the great room, features a window seat that overlooks the back garden and opens on to a covered deck, perfect for al fresco dining in warm weather.

NON BASEMENT
Near the kitchen, and surrounded by an L-shaped covered porch, is a multi-purpose room that could see service as a den, home office or formal dining room. The roomy master suite, which also features a window seat, contains a walk-in closet, as well as an ensuite with a soaker tub and a separate shower stall. Nearby, the second bedroom enjoys its own bathroom, with a linen closet situated inside it. The laundry room has access to the double garage, which is spacious enough for a workbench or fitness area. The garage is situated so that the garage doors do not face the street. Instead, passers-by will see a partially mullioned window with an attractive awning.
On the exterior, finishes include painted trim, river-rock accents and shingled siding, with larger shingles accentuating the gables. This home, with nine-foot ceilings throughout, measures 49 feet wide and 69 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 1,706 square feet. There is no basement. Plans for design 5-2-655 are available for $664 (set of 5), $745 (set of 8) and $792 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C.

Annual Portage BC Recognition Celebration honours those who have taken control of their addictions Contributed Portage BC hosted their annual Recognition Celebration on June 23 at the residential rehabilitation centre in Keremeos, British Columbia to honour graduates. The celebration recognized young British Columbians who are currently in the drug addiction treatment program and those committed to sobriety after one year of completing the program. This past Saturday, 40 youth from across British Columbia were acknowledged for taking control of their addictions. “Each year it is with great pride that we celebrate the successes of our residents and honour them for the tremendous achievements they have made to be free of addiction,” said Diane

Power-Jeans, Director of Portage Keremeos, “Our residents and graduates are testaments to the positive outcomes at Portage and as a nonprofit society it is important that we continue this meaningful work.” “Simply put, Portage Keremeos saved my life,” said Josie Robertson. “It not only helped me face my addiction, it gave me the tools to transition to life outside of treatment.”

RDOS briefs Worksafe Recognition The Regional District Okanagan - Similkameen has saved the taxpayer approximately $11,000 dollars this year by staying safe. The RDOS received Worksafe BC COR (Certificate of Recognition) accreditation last year, which made them eligible to receive financial incentives if all the requirements for the program are met for the incentive year in question. The regional district received an incentive totalling $11,217.42, achieving their safety goals through the Safety Committee. Annexation Impact Study The regional district board turned down a request from the Regional District of North Okanagan to participate in an annexation impact study. The NORD was requesting $900 from each electoral area in the province to support the study, estimated to cost $150,000.
The study intends to look at the effects of annexation from the Electoral Area perspective. Regional district staff recommended the board to decline the request as staff noted that several regional districts had already turned down the invitation. Other regional districts have already carried out their own work on the issue. The board declined the request, offering support to take the request forward to the Union of B.C. Municipalities for further discussion. Board request better road repairs The regional district board will send a letter to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure forwarding concerns regarding aggregate quality and conditions of the surface of the White Lake - Willowbrook Road. Last summer the road was resurfaced using a chip seal method, and the resulting coarse surface is proving to be a bane to many recreational bicyclists who frequently use the road. Highway 3 Coalition The Highway 3 Coalition met in Castlegar recently.
Osoyoos Director Stu Wells informed the board that an economic study of the Highway 3 corridor is complete and will be released shortly. “All the mayors and communities are represented along the route,” Wells said, “ and the coalition is unanimous in their priorities, which makes it easy for the ministry folks to decide on priorities.” Wells also alluded to a major funding announcement regarding an improvement project to Highway 3 along the Hope-Princeton portion of the route that will be “coming down the pike” shortly. “They’ve spent one million dollars on an engineering study already,” he told the board. Request for Proposals The Regional District Okanagan-Similkameen is inviting proposals from qualified telecommunications engineering professionals to provide an Emergency Radio Telecommunication Study for the entire regional district which includes all communities and member municipalities. The work would include considerations raised in the Fire Dispatch Service delivery review conducted in 2010.

LORNA LEULLA (nee Kilborn): Passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 17, 2012, in Penticton, BC at the age of 84. Beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Lorna will be lovingly remembered by her son Craig (Carol), of Myanmar, daughter Laurie, of Keremeos, BC, and ‘daughter-inheart’, Maxine (Art) Whitehead, of Eckville, AB, as well as her grandchildren Shereen (Ed) Trenchard, of Whitecourt, AB, and Andrew, of Bali, and great-grandsons, Oliver and Ewan Trenchard. She was born in Castor, AB and spent her school years in Leask, SK. In 1950 she was working at the Royal Bank of Canada main branch in Calgary, when she met the love of her life, John Hugh ‘Paddy’ Taylor. They married in 1951 and were together for 52 years until his passing in 2003. Paddy’s career took them to Camrose, Innisfail, Leduc, St. Albert, Didsbury, Hanna, and Stettler, before retiring in Kelowna, in 1986. Lorna held a degree from the Toronto Conservatory of Music and was an accomplished pianist, golfer, and a long time member of the Eastern Star. She was a great lover of animals, and she spent many happy hours bird watching with Paddy. A Private Family Service will be held at a later date. Donations in memory of Lorna may be made to the World Wildlife Fund or the Canadian Diabetes Association. Messages of condolence may be sent to the family by visiting www.hansonsfuneral.com
