Harley the pot bellied pig was one of many visitors to Keremeos last week. The Kelowna based pet was touring Seventh Avenue in front of Canadian Choppers, attracting attention in the process. The sudden onset of summer weather has livened up the streets of Keremeos with tourists and vehicle traffic alike.

Okanagan orchardists say they have the required proof to fight genetically modified fruit. A national survey indicates 69 per cent of the 1,501 respondents are not in favour of a genetically engineered apple. “We are not in favour of genetically modified food because of the market risk,” said Glen Lucas, B.C. Fruit Growers Association general manager. “The survey validated growers’ concerns that there could be a possible backlash against genetically modified apples.” Lucas says there are several examples of genetically modified organisms being developed and negatively impacting market conditions. Beyond domestic consumers, there is a concern some international customers could stop buying Okanagan apples if genetically modified organisms are allowed. “Europe doesn’t like this kind of product,” said Lucas. The survey was commissioned by B.C. and Quebec orchardists after an Okanagan biotech company applied to have a genetically modified apple approved by the government. When cut, the apple does not brown. Seventy-six per cent of respondents stated the federal government has not provided adequate infor-
mation about genetically modified food. A further nine per cent said they had not heard of genetically modified food prior to the survey. Ninety-one per cent of respondents agreed that mandatory labelling of genetically modified food should be required by the federal government. If the food were clearly labelled as being genetically modified, 14 per cent of respondents would purchase the food without hesitating, 45 per cent said it would depend on the type of food being purchased, and 35 per cent said that nothing could convince them to purchase genetically modified food. Seventy-one per cent of the survey respondents indicated they are in favour or having a special category of food (e.g. milk, apples, pablum, fruits and vegetables) that should not be genetically engineered or be free of genetically engineered ingredients. The survey results will be sent to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the federal health and agriculture ministers. “We want to express our concerns about the current regulations on genetically modified products,” said Lucas. “People want more information. We would like the government to postpone further introductions (of genetically modified fruit) until they get their ac together and have better public discussion on the issue.”

Village short on funds after municipal tax day comes and goes By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Tax arrears up in many municipalities
Connie Bielert of the BC Grapegrowers Association and Roger Hol, a Similkameen Valley grape producer, presented a report on the past year’s activities of the Okanagan-Similkameen Starling Control Program. Twelve hundred starlings were trapped in the Similkameen last year. The program has captured a total of 443,000 starlings since its inception in 2003. The program hopes to continue its effort to control the invasive species of bird in the coming years. Keremeos Chief Administrative Officer Laurie Taylor told council that July 3 was the municipal tax deadline. As of close of business on July 3, the village had not received $132,000 dollars worth of tax payments. “The figure represents 10 per cent of the ratepayers in the village,” she told the board, “Taxes in arrears are up 18 per cent over last year. She further explained that the shortfall in the village’s coffers would have to carried by the village, at additional
expense. Council received and approved the 2011 annual report. The 2011 Statement of Financial Information noted that council remuneration totalled $39,327.19 in 2011, which included indemnities ($35,513.73) and expenses (3,813.46). There was one village employee receiving more than $75,000 in remuneration in 2011. Public Works Foreman Jordy Bosscha earned $76,106.74 in 2011, incurring $682.56 in expenses. (Bosscha’s remuneration includes three months holiday payout). CAO Taylor, usually one of the highest paid positions, has not been with the village a whole year. Total remuneration for the village was $534,581. A request for a zoning amendment at 418 Highway 3A was also dealt with by council. The property already has a history of non-compliance issues that date back to 2009 with respect to the construction of an accessory building on the property. “The building permit has expired and there are a number of outstanding issues with respect to two dwelling units on the property,” explained CAO Taylor. Council was most recently asked for a “text amendment” to the zoning bylaw
to permit personal service establishments in the C2 zone, as owner Karl Schorb was contemplating a business opportunity that required the amendment. Staff cautioned council not to consider the request for zoning amendment until the numerous outstanding requirements of the property had been satisfied and a completed zoning amendment had been received. Council agreed with staff’s recommendations, voting to receive the CAO’s report regarding the zoning amendment request, as well as carrying a motion to receive Schorb’s latest letter of request . Council also voted to add an accompanying advisement regarding due process for zoning amendment prior to consideration of Schorb’s zoning request. A survey of municipalities in the Okanagan-Similkameen reveals similar taxes in arrears patterns.

RDOS board ratifies union labour contract Pay increases will only apply for some job classifications in the first year after pay classifications are redefined By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The regional district board ratified a new collective agreement between the RDOS and the BC Government and Service Employees Union at the regional district regular board meeting on July 5. Chief Administrative Officer Bill Newell told the board that no memorandum of settlement was received after contract talks hit an impasse and went to mediation earlier this year, but employees had voted in favour of the last offer brought forward. “There is no monetary increase for 2012,” Newell said, noting that employee classifica-
tions had inconsistent pay increases attached to them. As a result of a redefinition of the classification for pay rates, the initial 2.98 per cent hike will result in an increase for some classifications, but not for others. Pay increases of one per cent for each of the next two years (for each classification) will occur, in addition to increased sick leave (employees allowed a bank of 10 days instead of nine, at an accrual rate of a half day per month as opposed to one third of a day per month.) Employees will also receive increase dental and vision care, in addition to a boot allowance in a three year agreement.The total offer represents 5.68 per cent over three years. RDOS Chair and Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton voiced his lack of support for the contract, noting that city employees recently settled for little more than a signing bonus. Penticton Directors Vassilaki, Ashton and Jakubeit opposed the contract, as did Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer.

Wedding bells without wedding bills Love may be in the air but sooner or later someone has to pay the bills. Here are some simple strategies for enjoying a debt-free wedding day and a financially equal life with your new life partner. Wedding = one day; your life together = a lifetime Who doesn’t want a terrific wedding? But you really need to look beyond the confetti and those tinkling glasses to your long-term financial life. Plan for a happy wedding but within a reasonable, affordable budget. Use the wedding budget process as a learning exercise for you and your partner to work together toward a shared financial goal. Wedding costs = real money Pay for your wedding with money you’ve saved instead of through credit cards or ‘stealing’ from your investments or retirement fund or you’ll end up paying for your wedding over and over again for many years. For example, put $25,000 in wedding expenses on your credit card at 14% interest and only make the minimum payment each month and it’ll take you 100 years to pay it off! Financial plan = stick to it Set a wedding budget based on the money you’ll have at the time and start saving right away! While you’re at it, set other financial goals like accumulating a down payment for a new home and begin saving and investing for those goals, too. Here’s a simple wedding dreams to fiscal reality budgeting template to get you going:
MANAGING Your Money Put those numbers in place and you’ll know if your wedding budget is realistic or needs a second look, how long it will take to get to a debt-free wedding date, and when you’ll be able to turn your other financial dreams into reality. A debt-free wedding and a solid financial future = GREAT! Talk to your professional advisor about these and other strategies you can use to achieve and enjoy a financially successful new life together.

Sandeep Bengag of Keremeos won the Miss Interior title at the recent Miss BC pageant.
Keremeos’ Sandeep Bengag crowned Miss BC Interior 2012 Contributed Keremeos’s Sandeep Bengag won the Miss BC Interior 2012 title this past Canada Day long weekend when she was crowned at the annual charity event, which takes place every summer at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley. With 46 contestants, the weekend raised over $37,000 for the Cops for Cancer organization. Bengag plans to use her title to “be a voice for today’s youth, and help educate our country about the dangers of greed.” She explains in her online bio at www.missbc.ca that “We have been misled to believe that we must attain all the materialistic things that others acquire,” and wishes to teach youth to “be satisfied with what we have rather than what we want.” The Miss BC Pageant is a developmental program for young women. Each contestant received professional training in areas such as modelling, stage presence, manners and
etiquette, self-esteem, interview skills, public speaking, self-defence and assertiveness. This year, the pageant celebrated its tenth anniversary, bringing back previous titleholders to share their stories since receiving their crowns. A shortened version of the finale will be broadcast on Shaw TV this fall. Other winners of the evening included: Miss BC – Hannah Seaman Mrs. BC – Ami Muranetz Miss Teen BC – Charmaine Laride Miss Charity BC – Desiree Tremblay Mrs. Lower Mainland – Danielle Bermel Miss Lower Mainland – Casar Jacobson Miss Greater Vancouver – Ada Gu Miss Fraser Valley – Desiree Tremblay Miss Vancouver Island – Kendall Andjelkovic People’s Choice Award – Stephani Monkman Miss Congeniality – Charmaine Laride
Regional district news briefs By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Safety audit The regional district has already passed its Work Safe COR (Certificate of Recognition) audit for 2012, Chief Administrative Officer Bill Newell reported to the regional district board on July 5. The RDOS should be receiving a cheque for approximately $12,000, an incentive payment for creating and adhering to health and safety management systems aimed at improving regional district workplace safety. Mosquito spray program update The mosquito program is in its 11th week, reported Public Works Manager Doug French in a report to the board. French reported that the RDOS had done 85 hours of spraying, having identified 245 sites for treatment in the regional district. Two crew members visit approximately 100 sites in a week, and problem sites are treated weekly, French told the board. The Olalla area is sprayed weekly, using 30 per cent of the spray program’s time spent in Area “G”. There is no West Nile spray program this
year, French concluded. Comment urged for hospital expansion South Okanagan-Similkameen Hospital Board Chair Janice Perrino urged the board and members of the public to make comment to the province with respect to moving the ambulatory care tower project forward. “This building will have a medical training facility in the basement,” she said, “which will provide us with a supply of doctors for hospitals such as Princeton’s.” Perrino added that the time to convince the province is now, or the opportunity will be lost for another 10 years. Water issues Area “D” Director Tom Siddon advised the board that the International Joint Commission was contemplating revisions to operating orders for the Zosel dam in Washington State, noting that public meetings were upcoming, and urging acceptance of the technical committee’s recommendation not to accept flow rates to maintain fish stocks, but rather to stay with flow rates based on the lake level of Osoyoos Lake. He also recommended that the Okanagan Basin Water Board make a statement regarding their continued oppostion to the Shankers Bend dam proposal on the Lower Similkameen River.

Editorial
Municipal tax arrears on the rise Municipal tax day has come and gone, and this year, several municipalities in the regional district are finding their coffers a little short on cash. Keremeos Chief Administrative Officer Laurie Taylor advised council last week that 10 per cent of the village ratepapyers’ taxes were in arrears. Data from Princeton and Oliver reveals a similar pattern - so it would appear that the issue is more widespread than in the Village of Keremeos. Late payment of taxes usually involves a hefty penalty, sometimes as much as ten per cent - so it doesn’t make sense for people to neglect paying them on time. Is it a sign of economic times? The tax bill comes at a time of year when householder’s budgets are stretched by other things, like home improvements and summer vacations. The demographic in Keremeos that seems to be most likely to be in arrears are not seniors, according to CAO Taylor; rather they may be younger families who are increasingly finding their budget stretched at this time of year. For them, an option might be a monthly payment plan for taxes, something being discussed at the village office these days. It may not be much, but short of reducing taxes, may help those who have too many bills to pay this time of year.

A fond farewell to a family friend By Steve Arstad The Review The start of our beautiful summery weather was marred earlier this week by the demise of our wonderful Great Pyrenees - Newfoundland cross. Molly was an old dog, so while we consider ourselves fortuntate that we were able to enjoy her company for so many years, it’s never an easy thing to lose such an easygoing, fun-loving and affable pet like her. As a much younger dog, Molly had big dog issues when she blew cartiledge in both hind legs. They didn’t both go at the same time; a local vet was able to patch her up, and after a year or so of convalescence, she was more or less as good as new. She had a bad habit of racing down a steep hill on our property; you couldn’t train her not to. I always thought that was the Pyrenees breed in her - when she was on a mission, she tuned out everybody. Strangers in the driveway were often intimidated by this hulking big, 160 pound black dog barking like hell at them,
in spite of anything her master or mistress could say to her. (It was probably her least endearing trait.) Not that she would ever - or could ever hurt anybody. She was big, friendly and fun loving. She loved to prance around the yard, nosing up the grass in an effort to spite you into
Molly 2000-2012 chasing her. Some times she would go at it until she turned a corner a little too tightly, giving her leg a tweek that would settle her rambunctious attitude down just long enough for her to heal.
Molly spent the last two or three years of her life pretty close to the front and back doors of her home. Unlike her masters, she was not fond of scorching hot summer weather; even my wife’s annual late spring haircuts to remove the long, thick fur that is characteristic of the Newfoundland breed failed to provide enough cooling to make summer bearable. Her daily routine became one of going outside in the morning and wearily following the shade in the yard as the sun moved across the sky. She slept most of the time, which I think got boring for her now and again. However, she was usually close enough to a walkway in the yard that anyone going by would stop and scratch her belly for a minute and talk to her - so life maybe wasn’t so bad after all. Molly’s hips began to de-
teriorate a year or so ago. We thought then that she only had a few weeks left, especially after she stopped eating in the hot weather. We tried to encourage her by buying her dog treats and more expensive dog food - it worked, and it took no time for her to expect a daily diet of snausages and dog biscuits in the morning, followed by a hearty meal of expensive dog food for supper. Indeed, she refused to eat anything else. When the present heat wave hit last week, we could see the effect it had on Molly. During last Monday’s stormy evening, the combination of heat, constant thunder and Molly’s progressive loss of muscle mass, was too much. She suddenly began to have great difficulty breathing. It was 11 p.m.- and with no local vet responding to my wife’s calls, she bundled Molly into the van and made a midnight drive to Kelowna to the nearest vet available, who concluded Molly was suffering from laryngeal paralysis.At her age - 12 - there was nothing more to be done than to end her suffering, leaving our family with a void that will take not be easy to get used to.

The Review, Thursday, July 12, 2012 — Page 7
Pickers are ordinary people, too To the Editor: I address this letter to the people of Keremeos, as well as all of the Similkameen, Okanagan and Kootenays. My name is Jodee and I am a migrant farm worker. My occupation is more frequently referred to as “fruit picking.” This is my fifth year. As you all know it is a seasonal job. I, and those of my trade, migrate to your lovely hometown and others along the cherry trail when summer comes. When the season begins we journey to these towns to reunite and catch up on what’s happened since last summer or welcome newcomers to our family and teach them the ropes. It’s a happy time for us. I understand that for the local people of the towns we work in, it can be anything but joyful. It’s the time your home is invaded by strangers from across the country or even the globe. These strangers may seem scary, rude, dirty or just plain disrespectful. I personally feel that if the lines of communications were to be opened up, we could begin to work together rather than grate against one another. I would like to speak up on behalf of my community in this address to yours. I spent perhaps a month in Keremeos looking for work and waiting for the beginning of cherries. I ended up leaving to look for work elsewhere due to my discomfort with some of the conduct I have witnessed here. I suppose it’s all the things you have come to associate with us: people leaving a mess on the land they camp on, theft, distrust, and I have even heard rumors of altercations although I personally have not witnessed or been a part of any. While you may find this to be suitable reason to continue to dislike and distrust us, I would beg you read a bit further. I am writing to explain to you that this is not the way it normally is, nor the way it should be. In years past, my camps and the crews I have worked with have been nothing so much as a big happy family. We support each other. Even though there is often a language barrier - I have worked with English, Quebecois French, Parisian French, Dutch French, German, Australian, Japanese and many more - we have always done our best to understand each other and work together. We’ve always been diligent about maintaining the cleanliness of our campsites and even the parks we sit in after work. Countless times we have all banded together to tediously gather every scrap of garbage our fellow pickers or our pets have left behind before moving on. Despite our vagrant lifestyles we are thoroughly against
theft of any kind as it spreads distrust through our community. When you are essentially homeless in a strange town with only other fruit pickers as companions, you strive to build a place where everyone can feel accepted and safe. Until this year, I have never seen any glaring violations of our code. Even still, the people who are responsible for that are a minority among a large crew that I came to regard as my trustworthy summer family. I have personally witnessed that one bad apple can appear to spoil the whole lot; especially when I consider how it must seem in the eyes of you, the local people who have been our host all these years. I appeal to you not to see us in such a light. For every rude and disrespectful fruit picker you may encounter in town, there are at least two or three hardworking quiet types who you never end up having any dealings with. I know that I personally maintained a polite and respectful manner when I was a customer in any of Keremeos’ businesses and was never treated with any less in return. I know that this is not everyone’s experience and I apologize on behalf of the irresponsible who walk the streets as if they own them. The bottom line is that we all need each other. We pickers come here to work. It is our trade. It is how we support ourselves in the summer and sometimes even through the winter. We need your town because it provides us access to necessary amenities like food and drink and all manner of other product. Of course, a farming town needs workers because if the fruit were not picked it would fall to the ground and rot, leaving the farmers with no produce and draining the town’s economy. I then pose to you that we are in a symbiotic relationship and would greatly benefit from learning to work alongside one another, understand each other and respect each other. I don’t think it’s too much to ask that we pickers treat all of you with respect and dignity and that you do the same for us. After all, we are all just people trying to get by. Of course I can’t promise that all pickers will clean up their act, but I can promise that I and others like me will do our best to teach them better. I hope to be able to return to your town and many others in the valley in the future and be a part of the beautiful summertime culture, the way I remember it in years past. I hope you’ll regard me not as a foe but as a fellow. Sincerely yours, Jodee of Vancouver

Life on other planets may exist in alien oceans
I
n the early 2020’s the European Space Agency intends to launch a special space probe to Jupiter, the fifth planet out from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. The probe is to be called the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer. It is being referred to using the acronym “JUICE”, which again underlines the huge investment that seems to go into making interesting and novelty acronyms for major science projects. Among other things, this mission should confirm what we sus-
pect is the case for large satellites of major planets, that inside, under the ice there may be oceans of liquid water. We live on a lovely, wet world. About two thirds of our planet’s surface is covered by water, and if we smoothed the Earth into an absolutely smooth sphere, the entire surface would be covered by a deep ocean. Using our planet as the typical ocean world, it was very easy for us to jump to astronomical conclusions. Venus, the next planet toward the Sun is far too hot for liquid water oceans, and Mars, the next planet out from ours is too cold. Therefore, any water on an object orbiting the Sun further out than Mars would be present only as ice, which would never be warm enough to
melt. Not for the first or probably last time in our history, we were led to a logical but wrong conclusion because we did not take everything into account. The main clue lies in our own oceans. Along the mid-ocean ridges, where new seabed is emerging at plate boundaries, there are hydrothermal vents, where very hot, mineral-laden water emerges, supporting colonies of exotic animals that owe nothing to the Sun for their existence. If our Sun suddenly switched off, our atmosphere would liquefy; the oceans would be covered by ice, but down along the mid-ocean ridges, life would go on. A strong clue to other sources of warmth is Io, Jupiter’s closest large moon. Instead of being frozen solid, it is hot and covered with volcanoes. It is
the most geologically active place in the Solar System. Io is being pulled slightly into an egg shape by Jupiter’s gravity, but since the moon is also rotating on its axis, it is constantly flexing and changing shape, which produces a huge amount of heat - enough to melt Io’s interior. The heating of Io is too intense for it to be a good place to look for oceans or life. However the next moon out, Europa, is far enough for this tidal heating to be less severe, and many scientists believe there could be a deep ocean underneath the ice, with hydrothermal vents and possibly life. Now there is growing evidence that ice-covered oceans are not out of question for the two outermost large moons, Ganymede and Callisto, under very thick layers of insulating
ice. The JUICE spacecraft will be able to probe down through the ice and detect any oceans underneath. It will even tell us how deep they are. This space mission will almost certainly change the way we think about the objects orbiting the cold, dark outer reaches of the Solar System, and also our ideas about extraterrestrial life. Mercury is very low in the west after sunset. Mars and Saturn still dominate the southwestern sky. Look for Venus and Jupiter close together in the eastern sky before dawn. The Moon will reach last quarter on the 10th and be new on the 18th. Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astro-physical Observatory, Penticton.ca.

health top 12 steps for coping with grief By Caroline Sutherland PART I We have all heard the expression, “To everything there is a season.” For many, this is the season of grieving. Recently I have heard from several people about the individual losses they are experiencing. My friend’s mother died this spring. She and her Mom were very close and for her the loss of her mother is incomparable. Another friend’s marriage fell apart after 12 years. Her children have scattered – off to college and work out of state. There’s a big loss. Now, just the other day, a close friend is grief struck after the death of her 18-year-old cat. Many people seem to be in the middle of an ocean of grief without a life-raft. Grief seems to be up for a lot of us these days. Many of us are dealing with the loss of elderly parents, children leaving home and changes that seem insurmountable. I believe that all of life and all of our lessons relate to our spiritual development, so the purpose of a grief or a catalytic event is to ultimately see the experience as useful. How can we use this experience to evolve spiritually and to help others? The Buddhists talk about change and the nature of impermanence. Grief on a personal level brings impermanence into acute focus. In its initial stages, grief and shock is raw and deep, so it is probably too early to view it as anything but a piercing wound to the heart. But time is the great healer and salver of all wounds. In my own life, the grief and loss of a serious relationship provided the catalyst to create relaxation and therapeutic CD’s, which have comforted thousands of people who are coping with loss, grief, and uncertainty. I have sold thousands of copies of a CD entitled “Letting Go of The Past and Moving Forward.” It took this deep loss for me to understand what was needed to console a damaged human heart. Also, many years ago my near brush with a serious illness provided the background and the jcatalyst for my medical intuitive work. Here are my suggestions for coping with grief: Remember that during this time the body is taxed almost beyond its physical limits. The immune system, which protects the body from viruses, diseases and environmental factors, is under severe pressure due to emotional stress. The physical vehicle must not crumble under the strain. You must keep yourself strong as these painful events are unfolding. This experience of grief is the catalyst that draws you deeply into your spiritual nature and will ultimately call you to your higher work and more compassion for yourself and others.

ALCOHOL AND SLEEP
Some people feel that an alcoholic drink at night helps them sleep. However alcohol’s effect on sleep has been studied well and although it can help initiate sleep it doesn’t result in sleeping through the night. Generally sleep quality was poorer in women who had a pre-bedtime drink.
NEW TYPE OF HEARING AID
A new type of hearing aid is now being marketed in Europe and the U.S. Called SoundBite, it directs sound through the jawbone and into the inner ear. The device is custom-made for each patient and is positioned onto the upper left or right molars. Sound is conducted right to the inner ear-bypassing the middle and outer ear. Not yet available in Canada, however.
NOT ALWAYS GOOD TO SHARE
We are taught as youngsters that sharing is a good thing and it is. But sharing medications is not so good. What may work for you could be very bad for the person with whom you are sharing.
DON’T SHARE INSULIN PENS
Speaking of sharing, if you are using an insulin pen to administer your insulin, do not share it with another diabetic. Even though these pens are multiple-use syringes and the needle is changed each time, they are meant for only one person. There is a risk of passing blood pathogens from one person to another. Are you able to look at each of your medication bottles and know what each drug is used for? It is important to know this information. If you don’t, check with our pharmacists. We are here to help.

Labour dispute leads to hearings Labour board hearings were conducted out of Cawston Hall last week as Cawston Cold Storage dealt with an unfair labour practices complaint. Several witnesses testified between Wednesday and Friday and statements were taken. Words were exchanged and a volatile atmosphere replaced a normally benign work environment after an incident which allegedly
took place in the parking lot of Cawston Cold Storage on Feb.29 of this year. “We thought we were having a good year until we were blindsided by this,” said Operations Manager Dan Taylor. “We have tried to settle things down - telling our employees to show respect for different points of view - there shouldn’t be conflicts like this in the workplace.” Taylor admits that things are “pretty polarized” in the storage facility right now.
Time to spray for apple clearwing moth Contributed by Linda Edwards Based on degree day monitoring, it will be time to apply the first trunk spray for this pest in about five days. Irrigate just before you spray. That way you will get at least five days of effect before you have to irrigate again. Control the vegetation around the trunks of the trees so that it does not interfere with coverage. Gun sprays have consistently been the most effective. Apply enough spray so that some will
run into the cracks and crevices where the larvae are. Volume and patience are needed to get the best effect. Spinosad -the active ingredient in Entrust, Success and Delegate is effective against this pest. The rate for an Entrust gun spray is 75 grams of product/ha in up to 1,500 litres of water/ha. A minimum of two sprays should be applied. After this one at the end of this week, do a second one in about 10 days. A third one the first week in August is recommended if your numbers are high.
Penticton radio control car club given reprieve By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The Regional District Planning and Development Committee voted to allow the Penticton Radio Control Club to continue operating their Eastside Road track until April 30, 2013. The club ran awry of the regional district in May of 2011 after the regional district received a complaint regarding construction taking place on the property without proper permitting. The PRCC had developed a race track and viewing platform on the Eastside Road property. An inspection by regional district staff concluded that safety issues related to the public use of a shipping container on site that was being used for viewing purposes and the potential disruption a race track might have on the neighbourhood needed to be addressed, and a notice of violation was issued to the club. Over the past year, the regional district was unable to bring the PRCC into compliance, in spite of several communications between the RDOS and the club. At one point, the RDOS was work-
ing with the club to find an alternative site. Locations on the Penticton Indian Reserve, on Carmi Road near the Penticton Speedway and a request to Kaleden Irrigation District to use KID property were all considered before being rejected by the PRCC. Recently the car club submitted two petitions endorsing their activity at the Eastside Road location. In their report to the directors, staff described the PRCC operations as being a fun family activity to which neighbours did not object. The report described the club as having options, including applying for a temporary use permit. Allowing the public onto the site while an illegal use was being undertaken put the regional district at risk of being legally liable, argued staff, who recommended that enforcement action be curtailed until April 30, 2013, in order to assist the club in bringing their operation into compliance, or relocate. If the track is not moved or brought into compliance by the above date, enforcement action will be initiated. The committee voted in favour of the recommendation.

Swim club off to a good start Hot summer temperatures arrive just in time for swimming season sons, public swims and aquacises. We Contributed by Karl Donaghue The official Pharmasave pool opener on Canada Day kicked off a busy swim season. The pool opened early June for school swim lessons which includes safety issues and fitness swims, the Swim club and the Tri Club as well as adult fitness swims. In July we add Red Cross swim les-
have already had to add extra swim classes due to demand. Saturdays there is a free family swim sponsored by local businesses; this year adults must be accompanied by a child. Four athletes from the Keremeos Tri Club have qualified for the BC Summer Games in Surrey. Noah Beglaw, Mackenzie Lawrence, Kassidy Todd and Vanessa Harris will compete in

three events , an aquathon (300m swim + 1k run), a duathlon (1krun + 5k bike + 1k run) and a triathlon (400m swim + 10k bike + 3k run). They will compete in all events over two days. They have been training hard with at least five training sessions a week. For example on Friday they rode up to Yellow Lake and back. The swim club has 36 kids registered and they work on stroke improvement and fitness each week.
Have you seen your doctor lately? Local doctors provide prescriptions for kindness Contributed by Ron Shonk. PVPP Coordinator Throughout the summer months our Keremeos doctors are handing out the same prescription to all of their patients. It reads: “Practice kindness, three times per day, or more often as needed, to feel good.” It also carries this warning: “While one can not overdose on this medicine, it may become habit-forming. Kindness can also be contagious.” If you haven’t seen your doctor, you’ve likely seen the “Practise Kindness” posters displayed in the windows of most of the business places through-
out our valley. It’s posted in the lobby of the Keremeos RCMP building too. While it’s not a law, maybe it should be. More than simply good advice (which it is), a very wise man (the Buddha) and a very powerful healer (Jesus) both taught and practiced it, using very nearly the same words. Many since then have called it a “rule”. Stronger than that, we’ve come to know it as the “Golden Rule”: “Treat others as you would like them to treat you.” Think about that. While it is simple, it is not simplistic. Rather, it is simply profound. Put into practice it could make a world of difference. In fact it would make a different world. But for now let’s just focus on making it contagious right here, and right now – in our own homes, and throughout our valley – one
simple act or word of kindness at a time. Several times a day. I recently saw a Hallmark Card. Its cover read “You are the very definition of niceness.” Inside it said “I am the very definition of thankful”. If you had that card, who would you send it to? Go ahead, call that person right now, and tell them. And wouldn’t you feel good if you received that card from someone else? Wouldn’t it be good if we all, in the words of Hallmark Cards, “cared enough to send the very best”? PVPP, the Lower Similkameen’s Proactive Violence Prevention Project, has chosen “Practice Kindness” as our spring and summer theme. As the poster says, “Practice Kindness Indiscriminately.” Infect others. It’s contagious.
Good Luck! Athletes, Coaches, and Officials from the Thompson-Okanagan (Zone 2) will be at the Surrey 2012 BC Summer Games July 19-22 Follow the results at www.bcgames.org

Big payout in the works for free spending MP By Gregory Thomas Canadian Taxpayers Federation The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) estimates that outgoing International Development Minister Bev Oda’s annual Parliamentary pension will instantly start at $52,183, adding up to $701,464 by the time she reaches the age of 80. “Bev Oda’s lifetime pension should cover about 43,841 glasses of $16 orange juice,” said CTF National Research Director Derek Fildebrandt. “It’s wrong that she can collect $52,183 in annual pension benefits after only eight years on the job,” said CTF’s Federal Director Gregory Thomas. “Especially when the average new Canada Pension Plan monthly payment in 2012 is $534.10.” The Parliamentary pension fund is in better shape to cover platinumplated pensions such as Oda’s, having just been topped up on June 30 with the quarterly deposit of another $23 million taxpayer dollars into the Parliamentary pension plan. Under regulations adopted by cabinet, instead of investing pension funds into the market, MPs simply
pay themselves interest at the end of every quarter at a compounded annual rate of 10.4 per cent. The fund has grown by $69 million in the past 12 months and now tops $950 million. “By charging taxpayers 10.4 per cent interest on their pension plan, MPs retirement savings continue to outperform just about every other pension plan in the country,” said CTF Federal Director Gregory Thomas. For the year ending 2009-10, taxpayers contributed $102.6 million to the MP pension fund, while parliamentarians chipped in $4.4 million, a $23.30 to $1 ratio. In 2010-11, taxpayers contributed $110.7 million, while parliamentarians chipped in $4.5 million, a $24.36 to $1 ratio. And the CTF estimates that taxpayers contributed $25.81 to the parliamentary pension plan in 2011-12 for each $1 that federal politicians contributed. “If Canadian’s don’t speak up this summer, MP pension reform will consist of little more than putting lipstick on a pig,” continued Thomas. “The Prime Minister must take real action and truly fix these outrageous pensions.”

These photos show what Scott Avenue in Hedley looked like last week as compared to this week, writes former Area “G” Director Elef Christensen. “After seven years of dialogue with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, from my time as alternate to Roger Mayer up to my last day as Area Director - it took some dealing to get this done, (including Highway representative G. Wells, who also played a role in getting Argo to do the job). Thanks to all for that, as we now have a better looking main street,” he wrote earlier this week.

Plein air paint-in at Grist Mill Contributed by Loraine Stephanson Sunday July 15, 2012 - 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. What to bring: • All necessary art supplies/equipment for your chosen medium (i.e. canvas or paper, support or easel, paints, palette, palette knife for oils or acrylics, brushes, water or required odorless solvent) • A few small working surfaces (e.g. primed panels, canvases or paper (examples of sizes approx 8” x 10” or 9” x 12” or 12” x 14”) • Clean up supplies: Paper towels or rags for cleaning brushes, Container with tight lid for used paint-water or solvent, a bag for trash • Water (to drink!) • Sun hat/protection • Folding chair • Painting umbrella (optional) • . . . Remember, it may be windy! Wear sturdy footwear; bring a sweater or jacket. Additional notes re supplies for beginners: You only need to buy a few basic colors, (you can mix most colors from these): • A red such as cadmium red light or medium, or pyrene red • A blue such as ultramarine or cobalt (avoid phthalo blues if a beginner) • A yellow such as cadmium or hansa yellow: light or medium • Burnt umber • Titanium white Palette, container for solvent or water, “alligator” or similar clips for paper in case it’s windy! Synthetic brushes such as taklon work well for both watercolor and oil, and are not overly expensive. If watercolor is your medium, bring at least one soft brush with a pointed end, size 8 or 10, and a smaller pointed brush for detail. A wider, soft, 1 inch wide flat brush is useful for washes, but isn’t necessary. If you are using oil or acrylic, bring at least one flat or bright brush, approximately a half inch wide or a little wider. If you only buy one brush, this is the one! A couple of smaller ones may also be useful, but are optional. Description of instruction: All experience levels welcome! We’ll start the day with a demo and short introduction to plein air painting approaches, and Loraine will be available through the day to offer guidance and help with your painting problems. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced painter wishing to refresh your skills, come paint and learn through on-site experience, tips and gentle critique! A printed handout will be provided for participants. Enjoy a day of painting outdoors at a beautiful site, plus a special dramatic presentation and high tea provided by the Grist Mill at the end of your painting day! Nearby art supply stores: Dragon’s Den Penticton or Opus in Kelowna Looking forward to painting with you!
Backflow devices prevent cross contamination Water Works by Jeremy Auger-Patry There are two key components of conserving a water source for long term use. The first part is using water efficiently and making sure that you get the most use out of each drop. The second part is protecting that water source from any potential sources of contamination. Most of the sources we can control, such as moderating the use of fertilizers and pesticides or keeping live stock away from above ground water sources. However, the natural filtration system of the aquifer provides enough protection that the before mentioned strategies have some leeway and are not the biggest threats when it comes to aquifer contamination. The biggest threat comes from irresponsible users contaminating the existing system. Most fertilizers and pesticides require water to be applied to lawns or orchards. Direct
contact of a water source (such as a hose) and a chemical presents an opportunity for contamination. Spray tanks are a major concern for contamination. If a hose is directly attached to the tank and there is a drop in pressure, then it is likely some of the chemicals in the tank will be back siphoned into the system. It is provincial regulation that there must be a 15 cm air gap between the filler hose and the fertilizers or pesticides. Fertigation (direct injection of fertilizers via the water system) also presents an area of concern. Fertigators are required to install back flow prevention devices that must be inspected by a certified professional. These regulations must be adhered to, contamination of the water system can result in widespread contamination and sickness if these chemicals are ingested by other members of the community.

HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK ALL DESIGNS, PLANS AND RENDERINGS © COPYRIGHT JENISH HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED
PLAN NUMBER 7-3-933 CASUAL CHARM TWO-STOREY There’s nothing like gables and a covered porch to lend a home an aura of casual charm —so in step with the lifestyle of contemporary families — and this design has both. Beyond the entry, up a step and under a covered porch, is a compact foyer, with a handy coat cupboard near the U-shaped stairway. To the left of the foyer is a den, which could easily double as a guest room, thanks to a closet with sliding doors. The formal dining room, to the right of the foyer, boasts a built-in buffet as well as partly mullioned windows that overlook a small porch. The kitchen, conveniently located between the dining room and great room, is designed for efficiency as well as comfort, with a U-shaped counter configuration, a pantry and a raised eating bar.
THIS DESIGN INCLUDES AN UNFINISHED BASEMENT
The great room extends into the back garden, breaking out of the box. With a fireplace for warmth during the cooler months, and french doors that open onto a covered terrace to make serving alfresco meals a breeze, this will be a room for all seasons. MAIN FLOOR PLAN 1255 SQ. FT. (116.6 M2) 9'-0" CEILING HEIGHT

JENISH HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED
TWO STOREY
Opposite the kitchen, the laundry room enjoys access to the back garden via a covered entry, and also contains a coat cupboard, perfect for in- and off-season gear. Adjacent is a lavatory with a shower stall, as well as a storage area and broom closet. Upstairs, the spacious master suite overlooks the back garden for peace and privacy. It features a generous walkin closet and an ensuite with double basins and a shower stall. The soaker tub adds a touch of spa-like luxury. The second and third bedrooms are separated by closets, reducing noise transmission, and share a three-piece bathroom. Bedroom No. 3 features a bay window. Nearby is the linen closet.
Exterior finishes include vertical board-and-batten siding in the gables, with horizontal wood siding below. Painted wooden pilasters are set on cut-stone bases, and a windowbox is tucked beneath the den window. White-painted trim completes the picture. This home features nine-foot ceilings throughout, and measures 30 feet wide and 59 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 2,275 square feet. An unfinished basement is included with the plans.
Plans for design 7-3-933 are available for $746 (set of 5), $835 (set of 8) and $890 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C. Please add 12% H.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.
