RCMP find body of overdue traveller Motorcyclist bound for Keremeos reported missing last week By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com RCMP detachments in both the North and Southeast District areas of the province were seeking the public’s assistance last week in locating missing person Den-
nis Gordon Gudmundson, 61 years old. Dennis Gordon Gudmundson had apparently been riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle from Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. Gudmundson was reported overdue when he failed to arrive in Keremeos to the RCMP on July 8, around 6 p.m. by a close friend, after he failed to arrive in Keremeos as planned. On July 14, the Valemount RCMP were able to confirm that missing person, Dennis Gordon Gudmundson had been located. The body of Mr Gudmundson
and his motorcycle were located down an embankment on Highway 5, south of Valemount B.C. Valemount RCMP are currently investigating the incident. The RCMP offers their condolences to his family. Family and close friends have asked the RCMP to convey their deep appreciation for the efforts by the BC SAR professional volunteers and all others who helped in the search for Mr. Gudmundson.

Farmworkers issues return with summer weather Incoming farmworkers ask, “Where are we supposed to go?” after early season eviction notice at former campground By Steve Arstad The Review It’s growing season in the Similkameen, and the temporary farmworkers have arrived - bringing with them the seasonal issue of farmworkers accommodations. This year, incoming workers from other parts of Canada won’t even have the basic facilities that existed beyond the cement plant east of Keremeos, as the Farmworkers Campground was dismantled after last season. Campers who expected to use the location again this year got a surprise on July 6 when they received a visit from Forest, Lands and Natural Resource compliance personnel, who effectively served an eviction notice on a number of campers who had already set up there. Originally the campers were given unitl July 9 to leave, but later had that extended to July 10. “Where do they expect us to go?” asked Emma, one of those evicted. “There are new people coming in every day.” On July 12, during a sweltering summer afternoon, a dozen or so campers could be seen in Pine Park, grouped under the
shade of a couple of trees near the park’s washrooms. At the former campground, two tents remained set up . Bob Warner, Compliance and Enforcement Officer at Ministry of Forests and Range told the Review that the ministry responded to a complaint about the campers taking up residence at the former campground site. “We have concerns over health risks,” Warner said, noting that there was human waste and garbage strewn around the site. “There are also fire concerns,” he added. Warner could not say where the campers might go, commenting that the problem was an annual one. “We try and do what we can,” he said, adding that it was the ministry’s intention to follow up on the order to ensure compliance. Emma returned to the office of the Review on July 13 to say that ministry officials had returned to the campground, this time advising them that they could not be forcibly removed from the site. “It’s even worse now, though, with no facilities,” she said. “The entrance to the campground is bad - but that is due to one or two people. The rest of us pitch in to keep our garbage out of there. It’s a long way to pack garbage out, and I don’t even know of a dumpster where we can put our garbage. It’s lucky for us that one or two campers have transportation - we get together to pick up the garbage, and they can haul it away for us.”

New farm assessment regulations to be implemented for 2013 The province is implementing four more recommendations from the Farm Assessment Review Panel. Ministry of Community, Sport and Development
With the enactment of Bill 8 - the Community, Sport and Cultural Development Statutes Amendment Act, 2011 - on March 15, 2012, and through recent regulatory amendments, government will implement four panel recommendations for the 2013 Assessment Roll. These will: - Increase the tax exemption limit on farm outbuilding improvements (excluding the residence). - Extend farmer’s dwelling and home site farm classification to retired farmers in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) for farms that stay in production. - Reduce the administrative paperwork for farmers by changing the farm income reporting period to be consistent with each farmer’s Canada Revenue Agency income tax reporting period (i.e., a calendar or fiscal year). - Provide more flexibility in meeting the requirements to maintain farm status by expanding the list of qualifying
agricultural products (previously referred to as Primary Agricultural Production). Three new products will be added to the list: - Broad leaf maple and birch sap or syrup. - Breeding products (i.e., livestock semen, ova and embryos produced as part of livestock raising). - Horse stud services provided as part of horse rearing. The panel was appointed in February 2008 and conducted a provincewide consultation regarding the existing regulations and policies to ensure the farm assessment process was fair, equitable and streamlined. The panel submitted its report with a number of recommendations to the Province on July 31, 2009. The panel included co-chairs Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard and John Rustad, MLA for Nechako Lakes, as well as local government representatives, a cross-section of B.C.’s agriculture community, the BC Assessment Board and others. The province implemented two panel recommendations for the 2010 assessment year, which clarified the rules for the split classification of Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR) and non-ALR farm properties. For more information on the recommendations being implemented, go to: http://www.farmassessmentreview.ca/pdfs/FARP-FAQ. pdf

Okanagan communities come together on valley-wide conservation initiative Corinne Jackson, OBWB Cimmunications Director Residents of the Okanagan share one valley and one water. We also have less water here than anywhere in Canada, but we use more – at least two times more than the average Canadian. Come summer time, our water use soars – just when we also need water for food and for fish. Recognizing these realities, local governments in the valley have joined forces with the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its outreach program Okanagan WaterWise to launch MAKE WATER WORK - a valley-wide outdoor water conservation initiative, aimed at encouraging residents to be waterwise. The campaign includes radio ads, print ads in local newspapers, billboards and bus shelters, a special page on the Okanagan WaterWise website (www. makewaterwork.ca), a social media component on Facebook and Twitter, and more. The Make Water Work message can be seen and heard in every Okanagan community between Armstrong and Osoyoos. “The campaign has been a collaborative effort, working with folks from each of these local governments to get the messaging just right,” said Corinne Jackson, OBWB Communications Director and manager of the Okanagan WaterWise program. “Our goal is to encourage residents to be more wise with their outdoor water use. We’re not telling people not to water, just follow some simple tips to get the most from your water,” added Jackson, noting that the campaign is really aimed at lawn watering. At least 24 per cent of all Okanagan water is used by residents outdoors, mostly on lawns, she explained.
The campaign includes tips such as: “Don’t mow. Let it grow. Water stays longer when grass is longer,” encouraging residents to leave their grass two to three inches tall to slow evaporation. Other messages include: “Don’t let water stand around. One inch a week will do.” And “Put water on the nightshift. Water between dusk and dawn.” More tips and information can be found on the website www.makewaterwork.ca. “It was an easy decision to jump in with this campaign,” noted Doug Allin, Peachland’s Director of Operations. “The idea of having consistent messaging in the valley was important to us.” After all, no matter what Okanagan community you live in, the soil is similar, the yard-type is similar, and our watering habits are similar. “Being more efficient with our water use will benefit all of us,” said Allin. The decision to join the campaign was also easy for the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO), explained Jennifer Miles, the regional district’s Water Sustainability Coordinator. Following the drought of 2010 there was resistance to strict water controls, prompting RDNO to create a drought response team to develop a plan to address water needs. The team includes several stakeholders including local businesses and large water users, such as the school district and hospital. “Public education was one of the recommendations that came out of our drought response team,” noted Miles, adding that there is recognition that promoting and adopting long-term waterwise habits is better than bringing in short-term water restrictions. “At the same time, our region is very mobile,” added Miles. “Okanagan
residents who travel in the valley for work or the holidays are seeing the same message, reinforcing the fact that we really are part of ‘One valley. One water.’ Consistent messaging helps all of us reach the same goal – wise water use,” said Miles. “We’re all in this together,” agreed Carolyn Stewart, City of Penticton’s Environmental Coordinator. Communities in the valley have been encouraging water conservation for years, but there hasn’t been a consistent message for a long time. The purpose of this is to get everyone recognizing that we are all connected. Our watering habits affect not just our community, but the region as a whole, she added. “We had a wet spring, but the heat is beginning to hit us now,” Jackson added. “The Okanagan has experienced drought in the past and research indicates the region is going to see more of this, with warmer winters, and longer, hotter summers. At the same time, BC Stats estimates the Central Okanagan’s population is going to grow by 45 per cent within 25 years, with similar increases in the North and South Okanagan. All of this going to put greater pressure on our water resources. It makes sense to learn to conserve now,” she added. The Make Water Work campaign includes a contest with SunFM and West-Wind Nurseries & Landscaping (a local Irrigation Industry Association of BC-certified company). The contest ends July 21. Okanagan residents are invited to take the Make Water Work pledge at www.makewaterwork.ca and enter to win $2,000 in WaterWise yard upgrades!

How your voice is corrupted in citizen satisfaction surveys People are suspicious of these surveys, but are unsure as to how things are manipulated. Well, here’s how By Robert Gerst, Columnist, Troy Media Some years ago, the City of Calgary conducted a multi-million dollar effort to engage citizen’s in the development of a new transportation strategy. The Go Plan used consultations, focus groups, workshops and polls to engage citizens and gather feedback. Shortly before the release of the final report, someone thought it might be a good idea to conduct a more scientific survey of Calgarian’s. It was an afterthought, a last minute effort to ensure i’s were dotted and t’s crossed. A professor of transportation planning at the University of Calgary was quickly contracted to conduct the survey. The results completely contradicted what was already in the soon-to-be released Go Plan report, setting up a potential public relations disaster. Disaster was adverted by simultaneously releasing and dismissing the scientific effort as a small, insignificant part of the larger consultative process. Thus, the unbiased picture of what Calgarian’s wanted in a transportation system was ignored, while millions were wasted meeting the needs of specialized interests. Gathering citizen feedback to improve public services has all but disappeared. Now, survey research is conducted for the public relations purpose of ensuring a positive result. This is the Billy Beane, Moneyball strategy of; “If you get the answer you’re looking for, hang-up”. People
are suspicious of these surveys, but are unsure as to how things are manipulated. Well, here’s how. Step one Cherry pick the sample. This ensures those participating will give you the answer you’re looking for. You have to be subtle about it though. Surveying only cycling enthusiasts on bike lanes is too obvious. Instead, hold public engagement sessions on topics appealing to cycling enthusiasts like; ‘Bike lanes, should we have them?’ The meeting will be overwhelmed with those answering ‘Yes!’. This enables sponsors to claim the session was open to both positive and negative feedback while knowing only those in favour will show up. An example is the engagement process concerning Calgary’s new central library. The process assumes that Calgarian’s want a new library, that libraries have an important role to play, and so on, ensuring that responses will be heavily biased in favour of current library users and supporters. Administrators will get the answers they’re looking for and will follow up with claims they listened using an ‘extensive’ public consultation process. (Consultations are usually described as extensive but rarely as unbiased.) Unfortunately, this public relations approach to engagement ensures that the people the library needs to hear from, to grow and remain relevant, are largely excluded. Step two Design the questions carefully. Again, you can’t be too obvious about this. Subtly implying something for nothing will generate positive responses. “Are you in favour of more police on the streets?” “Sure, who isn’t?’ ‘Would you like a new central library?”‘You bet.” Missing is any hint of cost. Vague, general questions also elicit more
positive responses than specific questions. “How do you feel about the quality of city services?” will yield more positive results than; “Considering your last interaction with the city, how would rate the level of service you received?” Plus, vague questions enable what Darrell Huff, in How to Lie With Statistics, calls “the semi-attached figure”. This is measuring one thing and drawing conclusions about another. For example, food quality at Alberta extended care facilities, particularly in rural areas, has recently come under fire. Criticism has been deflected by noting that customer satisfaction in facilities is high. Perhaps, but what about customer satisfaction with the food and in rural areas? Step three This is the best trick of all and a trade secret. If you want to guarantee positive results on your survey, use a small, five point scale, and report the top two box scores - -where a score of four or five is recorded as “positive” or “satisfied”. Where’s the trick? It’s in the phenomena called positive response bias. People tend to answer to the positive, even when their attitudes are neutral or slightly negative, answering four when three better describes it. A tally of “satisfied” respondents, therefore, includes people ‘neutral’ or “slightly dissatisfied” ensuring an inflated positive result. Check this out for yourself. Download a citizen satisfaction report and see if it doesn’t rely on a top two box score summary on a five point scale. By the way, the smaller the scale, the stronger the bias. Citizen satisfaction skyrockets with four point scales. So there you have it. You’re satisfied with public services and now you know why - the survey says so and it was designed to say so from the start.

THE REVIEW Publisher: Mark Walker 605 7th Ave,Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial
Summer season signalled by farmworkers issues Keremeos’ perennial problem with temporary farmworkers came back with summer weather and ripening crops this week. Strangely enough, a government agency apparently sent officials to the former Farmworkers Campground site just east of the cement plant last week to serve an eviction notice on the transients taking up residence there. According to one of the campers, the officials returned later in the week to say that they did not have the authority to give the campers the boot. The campground issue may be a little more explosive this year, given that the campground is no more. Several farmworkers have returned to the valley with the expectation of having it there - and will probably continue to use the site, without the few amenities - toilets, trash barrels - that provided some degree of environmental protection last year. As a matter of fact, they will probably be camping on the river near Pine Park later this month, when water levels drop. Expect tempers to flare in early August if the present hot weather continues. As much as the temporary campground was a stopgap solution, it did provide a designated location for transients to pitch a tent. With the initiative now defunct, and apparently nothing new to replace it and no resolve on the part of the agricultural community to provide a solution, it appears that once again, Keremeos residents will be the ones left to deal with seasonal migration of temporary domestic farmworkers.

MLAs exit with millions in pensions Jordan Bateman, Canadian taxpayers Federation With just ten months until the next provincial election, the lifeboats are starting to fill up as MLAs of both political persuasions look to leave the ship of state. That means one thing: millions of dollars in pension payouts, primarily funded by taxpayers. Dave Hayer was the most recent MLA to announce he won’t seek re-election next May, retiring after 12 years of elected life. The SurreyTynehead B.C. Liberal served for a few years as a parliamentary secretary, inflating his best three years of earnings—the cornerstone of a pension calculation. Hayer’s annual pension will likely start with $47,600 at age 65, increasing every year to more than $62,900 annually, should he live to be 80 years old. That works out to a lifetime pension of about $824,000. On the other side of the
aisle, retiring Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge’s Michael Sather should start with a pension of $28,500 after eight years as an opposition NDP MLA. His lifetime total will come in slightly under half a million dollars. Former Attorney General Barry Penner, who resigned his seat last year after 15 years as an MLA, will start his retirement at age 65 with an annual pension of more than $78,500. His lifetime total will exceed $1.35 million. Kamloops B.C. Liberal MLA Kevin Krueger’s pension, by virtue of his two extra years in office, is even larger. Krueger’s first year pension payout is likely to be $87,700, increasing every year to more than $115,700 annually at age 80. That’s a lifetime pension of about $1.5 million. Ironically, Krueger and Penner were two of the B.C. Liberal candidates who ran against goldplated MLA pensions in the 1996 election. Even
though the Liberals lost, the NDP changed the pension rules to make it a much fairer system. Unfortunately for taxpayers, Premier Gordon Campbell took MLAs back to the gold-plated system in 2007—even allowing MLAs to buy back benefits to the richer plan for the years they served from 1996 to 2007. The extent of that buyback is still shrouded in mystery, and the government has refused to issue a list of MLAs who bought back into the richer plan. We do know buybacks cost taxpayers more than $20.9 million. Pension experts tell us that MLAs would be crazy—or incredibly principled—not to have bought back those years, and indeed we have heard officially of any MLA not buying back in. Premier Christy Clark bought back her missing years, confirming that fact last year. Media outlets interviewing retiring MLAs would be welladvised to ask politicians
is they bought back into the bigger, predominantly taxpayer-funded pension. Under the current pension plan, taxpayers contribute $4 for every $1 a politician puts in. Retiring MLAs too young to start collecting their pensions immediately are eligible for up to 15 months of salary after they leave office. If an MLA gets a job before the end of the 15 month period, the assistance is terminated—but if that job has an annual salary below $101,859, the taxpayer is on the hook for the difference. They can also claim an educational grant of $9,000. No one is saying politicians shouldn’t have a pension, but MLA pensions should refl ect the real world and go back to the 1996 NDP model— invested in a group RRSP and matched dollar for dollar by the taxpayer. That’s a competitive pension package, and fair for both the MLA and taxpayers.

A solution to animal cruelty at the Stampede To the Editor: May I present my idea to once and for all terminate stampedes and the many other acts of cruelty to all animals. In my opinion, the truth is a chuck wagon race is an accident waiting to happen and is a big draw of mega bucks from people that get a high when witnessing the sight of blood - guts fear - pain and death. A chuck wagon race will always have potential for death to God’s innocent creatures. All this could be avoided by simply putting those human animals responsible - wearing nothing more than harness in competition against one another. A severe whipping of the buttocks as the wide eyed - teary eyed and bushy tailed lowlife hear the thunderous roar of the crowd who cheer them on. A 1,000 plus mixed breed of animals cut loose behind them to accidentally trample and maim any stragglers’ - similar to that other cruel act “ the running of the bulls”. For the two legged human contestant’s that
falter- fall - get run over -run out of gas or whatever then euthanize them as they are of no use to run again Future crowds would likely exceed the present day numbers at least by one as I would love to be there to watch the scales of fairness balance between man and beast for the first time in history. To witness man in his birthday suit attempt to run the gauntlet of fear and potential for death that he created for the animals would be priceless. True as it is - animals and mankind were all put on earth for a purpose but surely cruelty was brought on by man - his own worst enemy ? Certainly not the Creator who perhaps would admit to his biggest mistake since he set the clock of time which unlike Timex will not keep ticking. The answer above is clear. To m I s h e r w o o d , O l a l l a P.S. - A few - make that many undesirable politicians as contestants would be a great draw and crowd pleaser.
Oda approach to aid (and orange juice) un-Canadian To the Editor: In light of Minister Bev Oda’s resignation, many have commented on her record as a politician, a minister and an expert on expensive orange juice. However, what has been missing from this commentary is what has happened to our foreign aid under her watch. Under Ms. Oda, Canada’s contribution to foreign aid has declined in absolute and percentage terms, and has moved away from aid for the poorest of the poor and towards countries that can offer political advantage. We are now spending $3.5 billion a year providing little to no help to those who need it most. In my eyes this is distinctly un-Canadian. There has been a longstanding belief in our
country that aid should not be about what’s in our interest, instead it is about doing the right thing and using our aid dollars the most effective way possible. Minister Oda and the Conservative Government had the opportunity over the past four years to do just that, and to make substantial contribution to the world. Instead they chose to use foreig n aid to push their narrowminded political and economic agenda. As Canadians, we trust our government to spend our money on worthy causes and meaningful initiatives. But it’s hard to make good spending decisions about the poorest of the poor when you’re drinking orange juice at luxury hotels like the Savoy. Yours sincerely, John McKay, MP
Little known of work done by local T.V. Society To the Editor: This past Sunday when the temperature was in the stratosphere two men drove up to the T.V. Societies repeater station to demolish an old shack that was no longer used. This shack had become a hang out for local youths to party. There was, also, from time to time, damage done to the repeater station. Can you imagine the sweat and toil involved in cleaning up this site? I know that I was not moving out of the house that day as it was just too darn hot! After many trips to the dump and even using a shop vacuum to clean up the small pieces of plastic blowing around, they felt it was a job well done. Without the T.V. Society there would not be any local CHBC station broadcast, no, not even on cable. If there is no signal available they are
not obligated to broadcast it. So, no T.V. Society, no CHBC for anyone. I find it amazing that people of this community do not support this handful of dedicated volunteers that work year round, yes, winter and summer to ensure that we get our local news. If you would like to support them, pay a yearly fee of $35 at the Valley First Credit Union to help keep this non-profit group viable. Or…you could volunteer to work with them in the heat of the summer or the cold of the winter. Thank you Jim Haker and John Armstrong, well done. Judy Chisholm, Keremeos P.S. The public probably has no idea how much work goes into operating the local T.V. Society.
New tenures promote bioenergy, cut back on wasted wood Ministry of Lands, Forests and Natural Resource Operations Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson announced in late June regulatory changes that provide access to logging slash and wood waste fibre needed by bioenergy producers and manufacturers of wood pellets and other bio-products. Amendments to regulations under the Forest Act, the Forest and Range Practices Act, and the Wildfire Act will bring into effect a residual forestry licence to cut, as well as a fibre supply licence to cut, for wood biomass.
These licences will enable smaller operators to acquire wood fibre and logging debris unwanted by primary harvesters. This includes the smaller trees, branches, limbs and tops of trees that are piled roadside or on logging landing sites as the by-product of a typical timber harvesting operation. The new tenures do not grant rights to harvest standing timber. Supporting rural forest economies by improving access to wood biomass for smaller operators is part of the forest sector strategy for British Columbia, released in April 2012 under Canada Starts Here: The BC Jobs Plan.

Area “D-2” Official Community Plan coming up for public review Official Community Plan Update and Community Input Opportunities scheduled for residents in Area “D-2” RDOS press release The updated draft Official Community Plan (OCP) for Area “D-2”, East Skaha, Vaseux is now ready for community consultation. The Regional District Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) is seeking feedback from all Electoral Area “D-2” residents on changes to the draft OCP. The residents of Okanagan Falls, Skaha Estates, Heritage Hills, Upper Carmi, Vaseux and other areas in Area “D-2”, are strongly encouraged to provide their feedback by attending the upcoming public open house, upcoming community events, or by filling out the online survey. “The draft OCP faces a challenging task to balance the views of the whole community while aiming to create a more sustainable future” says Director Tom Siddon. “We would like to hear from residents on how well this has been captured”. The draft OCP reflects input that was gathered from Area “D-2” residents during community open houses, pizza workbook nights, and an online survey carried out during the fall of 2011. Approximately 100 residents took part in these activities. Based on this community input and in collaboration with the appointed Citizens Committee, the goals, objectives, and policies that will guide future growth and land use decisions in the community have been reviewed. A
detailed background report which documents all of the earlier consultation outcomes; as well as other background information relevant to the OCP review, is available on the RDOS website (click on D2 OCP Review under Direct Links). The draft OCP is consistent with the direction of the recently adopted RDOS Regional Growth Strategy. Some of the key highlights of the draft OCP include: the establishment of growth containment boundaries; retention of industrial land; and increased environmental and foreshore protection. The draft OCP is aimed at: enhancing long-term social, environmental and economic sustainability; mitigating risk from hazards and wildfire; and, protecting the individual character of established communities in Area “D-2.” The upcoming opportunities to provide feedback on the draft OCP include: • A public open house will be held from 2 to 7 p.m. on July 31, at the Kenyon House in Kenyon Park (along 8th Avenue in Okanagan Falls). • An online community survey will be accessible from the Regional District home page (http://rdos.bc.cal) by clicking D2 OCP Review under Direct Links. The survey will be available to complete from July 6 to August 31. • Several community information sessions that will be set up around Okanagan Falls throughout July and August. Additional information or comments can be emailed to eriechert@rdos.bc.ca with the subject header ‘Area D2 OCP Review’. Urban Systems Limited will be facilitating the upcoming public engagement opportunities on behalf of the Regional District.

From left: Noah Beglaw, Kassidy Todd, Mackenzie Lawrence and Vanessa Harris. The Junior tri club members are primed and ready for the B.C. Games this weekend.
By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Keremeos’ Junior Triathlon Club will be sending four representatives to Surrey to compete in the games, which take place between July 19 - 22. The Keremeos contingent will represent 8.6 per cent of the total number of athletes competing in the triathlon at this year’s games - which hopefully will translate into some noteable finishes for the four. Not bad for a village of 1,500 people. It’s an example of what a small community can do when an enthusiastic and knowledgeable coach connects with equally willing athletes. Noah Beglaw, 14, Mackenzie Lawrence, 13, Kassidy Todd, 13, and Vanessa Harris, 14, will compete in three events in the 14 -15 age group; an aquathon (300 metre swim and a one kilometre run), a duathlon, (one kilometre run, a five kilometre bike and a one kilometre run) and a triathlon (400 metre swim, a 10 kilometre bike, and three kilometre run). The four youths have been involved in the Keremeos Junior Triathlon program since 2005, training under the tutelage and coaching of Similkameen Recreation Centre Manager Karl Donaghue - who is no stranger to triathlon events himself. Donaghue recently returned from the World Masters Swim Championships in Riccioni, Italy, placing second, fourth and sixth in several different swim events. “They will be competing in all events over two days, “ Donaghue said. “They have been training hard with at least five training sessions a week - as an example, last week they rode up to Yellow Lake and back.” All four junior triathletes show a surprising dedication to the sport, given their ages. They meet at Keremeos’ outdoor pool for swim pracW ATM NO LE! B AVAILA

tice on Monday evenings, bike and swim on Tuesdays, run and swim Thursdays and finish the week off with a lengthy bike ride on Friday. In between the scheduled training sessions, each of the four youths engage in individual training activities. “We usually do one event on an individual basis six days a week, said Beglaw, who rates biking as his favourite part of triathlon. Kassidy Todd and Mackenzie Lawrence don’t have a favourite event, saying they “Liked them all,” with Vanessa Harris declaring that the run portion of the event was her favourite. Marnie Todd, who works in Keremeos as a registered massage therapist, has been assisting Donaghue (along with Nikki Lawrence) with junior tri club coaching. “Keremeos is sending a strong contingent to the games this year,” she said, adding that the four triathletes are well prepared for the challenge. “We began training in earnest in mid April, and have been ramping it up as the weeks have gone by,” she said, noting that the four youths were very active year round in other sports. “Noah recently competed in Edmonton, and the girls just got back from the Wasa race in Cranbrook,” Todd said, “and all four competed well in the Boston Pizza Junior Triathlon in Penticton on July 15.” The poor weather the Lower Similkameen experienced this spring didn’t faze the four either, who continued to bike, run and swim outdoors in spite of a number of cool, wet and windy days. Following the B.C. Summer Games, the youths will continue to build their competitive skills, by participating in the “Kids of Steel” circuit (Canada’s National Youth Development Program). As a matter of fact, there doesn’t appear to be anything that will stop these four athletes - except perhaps the bus schedule leaving Keremeos for Surrey prior to the games. “We have to be on the bus by 3:55 a.m. on Thursday,” groaned Noah. It’s that age-old problem with youth - getting them out of bed in the morning.

Members of the Hedey Volunteer Fire Department hose down the community’s huglebeet.
Hedley huglebeet update Contributed Anyone interested in Hugelbeets? It’s been way too hot to work in the afternoons as we were doing... Above is a photo of our efforts last month at the old ballfield and Hugelbeet in Hedley. This was a work party for both the ball field cleanup and the hugelbuild. Bill Day helped Dan Twizzle grind nails while the rest of us stacked branches, and once they had a big pile of lumber, Russ used his trailer which we loaded up and stacked behind the bathroom as we discussed. The hugel has grown since but it is almost done! We think that we
may be able to be finished with two more “builds”. The fire department has also been wetting it down. Thanks to the following contributors, builders and cleaneruppers: Bill Day, Russ Stoney, Cherie Rupprecht, Mike Hayes, Vickie Hansen, Lynn Wells, Andy English, Dan Twizzle, Shannon and Karen Gauvin, Doug Bratt, Brad Bain, Angelique Wood. Special thanks to Gary Ross and the Community Club for allowing us to build this berm/ planting bed/ future habitat along their adjacent property lines. And apologies in advance if we’ve missed anyone!
FireSmart your home this wildfire season Contributed While the start of summer has been generally soggy, the hot and dry weather pattern is now among us. With this in mind, Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) urges vulnerable Canadians to take precautions to “FireSmart” their homes. “As past summers have taught us, wildfire danger will be affecting many communities this season. Canadians should consider these safety tips to protect your family and property,” says Lindsay Olson, vice-president of B.C., Saskatchewan and Manitoba with IBC. Wildfires move fast, can change direction unexpectedly and are often difficult to contain. The unpredictable nature of such events is what poses the most significant threat to homeowners and the community at large. Are you prepared? Consider these FireSmart tips: Prepare a detailed home inventory. Check your smoke detectors. Assemble a disaster safety kit.
Create an emergency preparedness plan for your family. Prepare your home. Those that plan a trip in a forested area should check the fire danger rating. For more tips on how to FireSmart your home click here: http://youtu.be/af4hPwpruvo Are you covered? Talk to your insurance representative to ensure that you have appropriate home or tenant insurance coverage. Virtually every home or tenant insurance policy covers damage caused by fire as long as the fire was not started intentionally by the homeowner. In certain circumstances, homeowners who are unable to return home as a result of insured damage are entitled to additional living expenses. Damage to vehicles from fire or water is usually covered if comprehensive or all perils automobile insurance coverage has been purchased. This coverage is not mandatory, so check your policy.

Financial planning for students – a required tutorial Post-secondary students face many challenges but two stand out: achieving that precious diploma or degree and doing it without a crushing debt load. That’s why you need a financial plan, so here’s your required tutorial on practical strategies for effectively managing your money. Consider the cost of sleeping Where will you lay your head at night? At home, the least expensive moneysaver, or in student housing or a rental unit perhaps in a different city or province? Much depends on where you choose to go to school. Budget realistically – and don’t budge Start with the many expenses you’ll encounter during your school years, fixed costs such as tuition, books, accommodation, travel, food and variable costs like entertainment. Balance those costs against your known resources, RESP withdrawals, family contributions, personal savings and so on, and expected income from summer or part-time employment. Investigate other income sources Before applying for a student loan, check out scholarship or bursary possibilities from the school, provincial governments, foundations, religious groups, service clubs or civic groups. Careful with credit A credit card can drown you in debt or be helpful in an emergency or for establishing a credit history. Make the responsible choice. Pay yourself first Put away a little money each week as an investment in your future, a source of emergency funds, or to save for a major purchase. Make the most of government tax relief for students • Scholarships and bursaries – not taxable if you are eligible for the Education Tax Credit. • Student loan interest – eligible for a nonrefundable tax credit when the loan is part of a federal or provincial student loan program. Carry forward and apply unused amounts of the credit in any of the next five years. • Moving expenses – deductible when you move more than 40 kilometres to be closer to school or a job. • Child care expenses – may be claimed by the higher earning spouse/common-law partner of a lower-income student spouse. • GST rebates – apply for this rebate when you file a tax return. • Other available tax credits: o Canadian Employment Credit on the first
MANAGING Your Money $1,065 of employment income. o Tuition, Education and Textbook Credit transfer unused portions of up to $5,000 minus the amount used by the student to a spouse/common-law partner, parent or grandparent, or carry forward unused amounts indefinitely. o Public Transit Pass Credit – receipts needed for claim. Talk to a professional advisor about these and other strategies for achieving a debt-free education and a sound financial future beyond your school years.

RDOS committee reviews non profit tipping fees policy Illegal dumping issues in Penticton prompt second look By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The Environment and Infrastructure Committee reviewed tipping fee exemptions for charitable groups at the July 5 regional district board meeting. The subject had come up previously at the Feb.12, 2009 meeting of the board of directors, who moved at the time to direct future requests for support from nonprofit societies to be directed to the grant in-aid-process. The problem of late night dumping of materials has plagued charitable societies throughout the regional district, which prompted CAO Bill Newell to reintroduce the issue to the board for further discussion. RDOS Board Chair Dan Ashton showed the directors a photo depicting a large quantity of household items dumped in the alley behind the Salvation Army’s Thrift Shop on Ellis Street in Penticton recently, explaining to the board that Salvation Army paid $40,000 in landfill fees to dispose of unwanted items such as these last year. “Some of those costs are legitimate,” Ashton noted. Keremeos Director Manfred Bauer spoke to the board of the Keremeos Ecumenical Church’s issues with illegal dumping, noting
that an awareness campaign has helped to alleviate the problem. He expressed an interest in seeing the rural areas (“G” and “B”) assist in costs associated with a grant in aid to the church thrift shop, adding that a public awareness program that exposed illegal dumpers might have a suppressive effect on the problem. Naramata Director Karla Kozakevich pointed out that the city should be paying for removal of the itiems left in the back alley of the Penticton thrift store, while Osoyoos Director Stu Wells commented that “People have an inflated idea of the value of their old stuff.” He said that the Osoyoos thrift shop bill for disposal was $25,000 last year. “These are hard working people who do a lot of work for a little bit of profit,” Wells concluded, “I have a passion to get this right.” Oliver rural Director Allan Patton considered all after hours material left behind as illegal dumping, adding that the regional district and the charities should be going after law enforcement. Penticton Director Andrew Jakubeit noted that much of the dumping was done as a last act by former residents, prior to leaving town. “It’s tough to chase these people down to recover anything from them,” he commented. The committee eventually elected to maintain the administrative recommendation, that being to support future requests from not -for - profit societies for tipping fee exemptions through the grantin-aid process.
Approximately 225 people were in attendance this year. This was the third annual and organizers are thrilled that it has grown into such a popular and well-attended event.

Emergency personnel discuss search strategy on July 11 during a search for a missing woman in Keremeos.
250-499-5552
Search for Keremeos woman ends with tragic discovery By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com A search conducted by Keremeos RCMP, Keremeos Search and Rescue and a helicopter for an elderly woman believed to have fallen into the Similkameen River on July 11 ended tragically Wednesday afternoon. The woman is believed to have gone into
the river near the corner of Twelfth Avenue and Second Street. Her scooter was discovered on the dike nearby. The search began around 10:30 a.m., after the woman was discovered missing. Police spokesperson Dan Moskaluk told the Review that the body was recovered around 5 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon. A coroner’s investigation is underway, but no criminal activity is suspected in the incident.
Keremeos museum’s cold case files Submitted by Rob Showell for the South Similkaemen Museum Society Every so often we are contacted by local residents and visitors to the area who are tracing their family genealogy. One such enquiry was received in 1995 from John Caldwell of Prince Rupert. Mr. Caldwell was looking for information about his great, great grandfather Alexander Ross, the first white man to visit the Keremeos area. The notice you see here was posted and any information collected was sent to the Caldwells. Now, many years later we are again asking readers for additional information. Who knows? Perhaps somebody will remember new information or unearth a related artifact. Alexander Ross (1783-1856) arrived at Fort Okanagan near the mouth of the Columbia River in July of 1811. He spent several years in the area, exploring and trading with local First Nations tribes. In 1811 he married a local Okanagan band member, Sara Twe whee

min wiwh (now spelled Timentwa) from the Chelan area. In 1813 Ross took a trip to the Kamloops area and returned by way of the Similkameen Valley and so became the first white settler to visit the area. At the time the only settlement in the vicinity was a small First Nations campsite where he stayed briefly. After 14 years in the Okanagan, Alexander and Sara Ross moved on to the Red River district in Manitoba where he became sherriff, magistrate and eventually governor of the new jail. He retired in 1851 and died in 1856. His wife Sara lived until 1884 and raised a total of twelve children. If anyone has any further information on Alexander Ross, his family and descendants please contact the South Similkameen Museum Society and we will pass it on to the Caldwell family.

Keremeos baseball and soccer players are off to the B.C. Games By Steve Arstad The Review A total of eight local athletes will represent the Lower Similkameen this weekend at the B.C. Summer Games in Surrey. A strong junior triathlon contingent (see page 9) will join Savanna Yamamoto on the soccer field and Sydney Crow, Bailey Vesper and Alana Leask on the ball diamond on July 20, 21 and 22. Savanna Yamamoto - U12 Girls Soccer Thanks to a handful of parent volunteers that started the SMSA here in Keremeos, Savanna Yamamoto was introduced to the sport when she was four. At 11 years of age she has already played seven seasons of soccer. Since Grade two (seven years old) she has been playing “up” with girls that are two years older than her, including a stint on the Pentiction Pinnacles District team. Savanna spends time juggling and talking about soccer as well as time on the field or in the gym with a ball. In the past two years she has played soccer here in Keremeos and has a record 34
wins with 0 loses (including tournament play). Savanna is very lucky to be playing with, and challenged by a great group of girls she can call teammates and big sisters. After try-outs in April she has been committed to travelling to Vernon and Kamloops for practices, now on to the B.C. Summer Games. Keremeos will also be represented at the B.C. Summer Games by three members of the District 9 baseball team. Sidney Crow, Bailey Vesper and Alana Leask of the Kobau Koyotes will be part of the baseball team that represents the top players in the Thompson-Okanagan region. The three 13 year old ball players played most of their softball at Kobau Park in Cawston, competing during the regular season against teams from Penticton, Naramata and Summerland. Bailey Vesper and Sydney Crow will pitch for the team while Alana Leask will fill an outfield position. The team is guaranteed four games at the competition, with the top four out of eight teams playing off for the championship game on Sunday, July 22.
OPEN HOUSE Tuesday July 31, 2012, 2 – 7 pm Kenyon House, in Kenyon Park (8th Avenue), Okanagan Falls

Hannah Vesper has received both a sports and an academic scholarship to attend Alcorn State University in Mississippi this fall. Last year Hannah played out of Kelowna and this season she has been playing out of Maple Ridge, as there are not any local “A” teams at this calibre. Hannah is both excited and a bit nervous about the big move. She will be flying down in mid-August and living with other athletes on campus. Her goal is to obtain a Bachelor of Science in biology during her four years away.

Taking aim to find out if anyone out there is calling
T
his week’s subject was triggered by an email from a colleague at the National Research Council. Like many things it is totally logical, when one thinks about it afterwards. The main way we search for intelligent aliens is to look for their radio signals. We point big antennas and sensitive receivers at candidate stars believed to have planets and look for the sort of signals that are unlikely to be of natural origin.
The chances of success are tiny because we have to be pointing at the right star, at the right time, and have our radio receiver tuned to the right frequency. We now have receivers that can monitor many frequencies simult a n e o u s l y, a n d check many stars at a time. However, the odds are still tiny. That email pointed out a method to significantly improve those odds. The idea is simple; we point our antennas in the direction of aliens likely to have their antennas pointed in our direction. That sounds like crystal ball stuff, but it isn’t. A decade or two ago, this would have been impossible, but not today. We are now pretty good at detecting planets orbiting other stars; the count is now
in the thousands. The technique we use is to monitor the brightness of other stars, which we can now do simultaneously for thousands of stars, and look for minute dimming of the starlight as a planet moves in front of the star. Let’s assume our alien friends are using the same technique, and then point their transmitting antennas in the direction of stars they know to have planets. All the planets in our Solar System lie more or less in the same plane, like marbles rolling around a plate, with the Sun in the centre. We call this plane the ecliptic. To detect our planets, our aliens will have to see them pass in front of the Sun, which means they must live on a planet orbiting a star that lies very close to the plane of the ecliptic. Therefore, we should
point our antennas at stars we know to have planets, and which lie close to the plane of the ecliptic. Searches like this are not really for intelligent aliens; they are searches for intelligent aliens who are using radio. We live in a radio world. In addition to broadcasting, radar and satellite navigation systems, we now carry one or more radio devices on our persons. Our civilization is tied together by radio technology. It is easy to forget that this might not be the case for alien civilizations. Intelligent races living under water would not be heavy users of electricity or radio. It might also be that they have found better means to communicate, using technologies we have not yet dreamed of. On the other hand, radio is what we are stuck with at the
moment, and probably we would have more in common with aliens using at least somewhat similar technologies to ours. Evidence even here on Earth shows life can take many bizarre forms, and this is probably the case across the universe. It is likely that we will have little in common with many of the civilizations sharing our universe. However, if we make no assumptions at all about what we seek, we are not going to get anywhere. Mars and Saturn dominate the southwestern sky. Venus and Jupiter lie close together in the eastern sky before dawn. The Moon will be new on the 18th.

health top 12 steps for coping with grief By Caroline Sutherland PART II Do all that you can to maintain your physical health in the following ways: 1. Every molecule of food and drink that you consume is translated into body tissue. Eat consciously SMOKING MYTH by avoiding any foods and beverages to which you might be sensitive, allergic, or reactive. Wheat There’s a myth that says that pipes and cigars are a safe will make you tired and give you “foggy thinking.” alternative to cigarettes. People who smoke them say they don’t inhale as much so it can’t be as dangerous. Not so.
2. Don’t collapse into addictions - consumption of sugars, caffeine, and alcohol. These substances Tobacco smoke from any source is still deadly and oral will further tax the system and contribute to more emotional hills and valleys. Avoiding these stimu- and lung cancer is still a distinct risk. Best advice? Don’t lants will give you the mental clarity to make appropriate decisions and deal with the situation. If you smoke anything. must use alcohol, use it as a medicine - sparingly. Mmm...BEEF BBQ 3. Seek help from competent spiritual counselors and mentors who can assist you in looking at the situation from a higher and wiser perspective. Draw on the strength of friends and family members, or your church, for daily support during the severity of the crisis. Cry. Get it all out. Get down to the deepest parts of your being and express your grief with supportive assistance. 4. Do your best to see that this experience may hold an opportunity. It may be too early due to raw and painful emotions to see it, but in time the opportunity will be revealed.
Summertime is beef barbeque time. Why not substitute fish or chicken for that thick steak on occasion? Longterm studies in the U.S. followed over 37,000 men and almost 84,000 women on their red meat consumption and found that consuming less (both red and processed meats) led to a healthier life. And remember, a suitable serving of red meat is about palm-sized (4 oz).
EYE PROTECTION FROM THE RAYS
During the sunny days of summer, don’t forget to protect your children’s eyes with proper sunglasses as well as j 5. Ask the questions, “What is life trying to teach or show me?” “Is life trying to move me in another their skin with a good sunscreen. Wearing sunglasses will direction?” “Are my skills and abilities needed in another place or location?” protect children from developing adverse eye conditions later in life.
6. Look for natural, calming remedies and supplements to restore and rebuild the body. Some people may need mood elevating medication, or antidepressants. Do not deny yourself this need during such a transitional time. I like Bach Flower rescue remedy – calm in a bottle. I also recommend the homeopathic grief remedy – Ignatia in a 6 x or 30 C potency.

Loads of weekend activity at the Keremeos Grist Mill Historic venue is busy Contributed On Saturday afternoon and evening the annual Barbecue King event drew a record crowd. Similkameen Wineries Association brought together eight wineries and eight chefs to produce and afternoon of savory foods and wine delights on the lawns and gardens of the Keremeos Grist Mill Historic Site. Last Sunday, artists working
with oils, watercolors and chalks were undeterred by some spectacular summer storm activity. The participants took instruction from Loraine Stephanson in this Plein air event. Participants came from as far away as Chelan, Washington. Other Plein air workshops will be scheduled through to Thanksgiving. Coming up at The Grist Mill and Gardens, August 11 and 12, The Penticton Chamber Theatre will present As You Like It in the gardens of The Grist Mill.
“Pied Pumkin” coming to Cawston Hall July 24 Pioneers of “rogue folk” to visit Cawston Contributed Absolutely original, slightly organic and eternally orange, iconic B.C. folk trio Pied Pumkin will play a Family Concert/Dance at Cawston Hall on Tuesday July 24 at 7:30 p.m. All ages will be delighted by this lively, irreverent trio who pioneered rogue folk in B.C. Rick Scott, Joe Mock and Shari Ulrich are staging a reunion tour to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the Vancouver Folk Music Festival. They received a standing ovation in the rain on the first night of the very first Vancouver festival in 1978. Infamous for fearless arrangements, flawless harmonies and theatrical hi-jinx. Pied Pumkin were the soundtrack to the mid 70s, touring far and wide and selling over 30,000 LPS from the stage. When Shari left to join the Hometown Band, Rick and Joe continued touring and recording for eight years as Pied Pear. Then each went on to a successful solo career. Pied Pumkin reunited by popular demand in 1998 after a twenty year hiatus.
Rick Scott is an award winning singer, songwriter and storyteller who plays in nine countries. Shari Ulrich’s many kudos include two Junos: she teaches songwriting and tours her original music solo and with several groups. After a decade in Japan, Joe Mock now lives and works in France. Full tour details at www.piedpumkin.com Tickets for the show are $15 adult and $5 child, available in advance at or at the door. For further information contact (name and number /email) What others are saying: “Pied Pumkin swings for a new generation.” The Province “They inspired a generation to make a new generation of folkies.” Rogue Folk “Pumkin is a national treasure. Legendary BC folk trio should be given the Order of Canada. The world needs Pied Pumkin now more than ever.” Duncan Newsleader “The most original, spirited expression of west coast culture since Emily Carr.” Old folksinger Bob Bossin www.piedpumkin.com www. rickscott.ca www.shariulrich
