Boil water advisory issued for Olalla Poor water quality tests result in boil advisory until further notice RDOS press release

Keremeos RCMP recently disposed of 580 bottles of liquor seized last November in Keremeos. The police are going to return the empty bottles and donate the deposit money to Friends of the Keremeos Skating Rink. In photo is Donna Bartlett (left), Mark Peron, Yan Peron, and Constable James Laton.

The Regional District Okanagan-Similkameen in consultation with the Interior Health Authority has placed a Water Quality Advisory on the Olalla Water System. This is in response to recent adverse water quality test results. The advisory will remain in effect until further notice. The elderly, young children/infants and anyone with ongoing health issues or compromised immune systems are advised to use a safe

alternative water source or to boil water for all drinking, oral hygiene and food preparation/ cooking purposes. Water should be brought to a rolling boil and continued to boil for at least one minute prior to use. Also, chlorine has been added to the system on a temporary basis which may result in a distinct chlorine odour or taste in the water. RDOS staff will be flushing the chlorine through the system and taking samples for testing. Once these testing results are approved by the Interior Health Authority, the Water Quality Advisory will be lifted. More Info: RDOS (250)4904135 Interior Health Authority (250) 770-3530

Risk of West Nile Virus increasing due to warm weather Provincial funding cuts means no West Nile spray program in the regional district Contributed Higher temperatures mean more mosquitoes, and the BC Centre for Disease Control is warning that some of them may carry West Nile Virus. Increasing numbers of mosquitoes have been particularly noticeable in the Okanagan and the Fraser Valley, and people in those regions and elsewhere should take appropriate precautions to prevent mosquito bites. West Nile Virus (WNV) is transmitted from birds to people through the bite of an infected mosquito. So far this year there have been no positive test results in BC from human, animal, or mosquito samples. However,

there have been reports of positive samples in Washington, Oregon, Manitoba and Ontario. About 20 per cent of people who are bitten by a mosquito and infected with WNV may develop some symptoms, including fever, fatigue, headaches and swollen lymph glands. In rare cases (one in 150), the virus can cause severe illness, such as inflammation in or around the brain (encephalitis or meningitis), or poliolike paralysis, that can occasionally result in death. To reduce the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes: If possible, avoid being out from dusk to dawn as mosquitoes that carry WNV tend to be active at these times. Wear protective clothing, especially outside in the early evening and at dawn. This includes long-sleeve shirts or jackets and long pants that mosquitoes cannot bite through. Tuck your pants into socks for extra

protection. Avoid dark-coloured clothing as it can attract mosquitoes. Use mosquito netting for babies and toddlers in cribs and strollers. Use mosquito repellent. Putting on personal insect repellents that are federally registered, such as those that contain DEET (N,N-Dethyl-m-toluamide) or PMD (lemon-eucalyptus oil) is an effective way to protect yourself from mosquito bites. There are also many repellents that have been shown NOT to protect against mosquito bites, including bug zappers, devices that give off sound waves and Citrosa plants. The public can help monitor for West Nile Virus by reporting dead corvid birds (crows, ravens, magpies and jays) by using the form at http://westnile.bccdc.org.

Public urged to endorse hospital project at meeting of council Former mayor explains letter writing campaign for regional hospital expansion By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Former Keremeos Mayor and Past Chair of the Okanangan - Similkameen Regional Hospital District, Walter Despot, addressed Keremeos council during the regular meeting on August 7. Despot spoke to council about a request for a letter of support that was recently mailed to 500 businesses in the hospital district. A request of support for a planned expansion of Penticton Regional Hospital is being asked for from as many residents of the OSRHD as can be solicited. The letters would be sent to the premier and associated ministry heads in a bid to make sure the project is budgeted for in the near future by the province. “We want to impress upon the premier and minister the support that we have from everyone in the regional hospital district,” Despot told council. The new facility would contain space for ambulatory care, day surgeries and academic space. The upgrades are necessary to bring the aging regional hospital up to date and allow it to continue functioning in an efficient manner.

“The hospital is currently congested,” Despot explained, noting that current occupancy rates run from 98.9 per cent to 109.3 per cent. The hospital district will be expected to ante up a 40 per cent of the expansion’s projected 300 million dollar cost. “We have 22 million in reserve,” Despot noted, adding that the South Okanagan Hospital District was also committed to fundraising an additional 20 million dollars to equip the new construction. Despot also described current issues with the existing hospital, mostly built in the 1950s, to accommodate new high tech equipment. A case in point was a recently purchased CT scanner that involved serious additional costs in order to properly vent it , mainly due to the fact that the building was too old to properly accommodate the new instrument. Despot concluded his remarks by urging the public to take a few moments to sign a letter or make one up on their own to send to the premier. Council moved to support the letter. Council also received a letter from the Green Communities Committee regarding the Climate Action Recognition Program, for informational purposes. A recent proposal to redistribute the federal electoral boundaries in the region caught council’s attention. The

federal realignment would see Areas “G”, “H”, and Princeton separated from the rest of the Similkameen valley. Council was split on the proposal, but agreed to a motion to receive the information while insisting that the Similkameen valley remain intact as a single riding. A request for council approval to have the village cover the cost of lunch for a group of nine cyclists involved in the ALS Cycle of Hope never received a motion. Council, in discussing the matter felt that providing lunch would set a precedent for the other numerous causes represented by bicycle tours passing through Keremeos in the summertime. Council had good things to say about the Kars Under the “K” car show that took place in Memorial Park on the August long weekend. The village recently put together a letter of understanding agreement with the regional district to formalize the contract agreement with the RDOS over curbside garbage services in the village. The LOU was authorized by council; it will be put before the regional district board for approval prior to coming back to council once more prior to adoption. Discussion during question period involved a resident’s concern over the spread of vine weed in the village. She asked what the village might be able to do to control the problem.

Keremeos Grist Mill abuzz with activity Steady line up of events at the Grist Mill after Penticton Chamber Theatre performance on the weekend Contributed by Dave Cursons The Grist Mill Heritage Club and Millar Group Heritage Enterprises hosted The Penticton Chamber The-

atre at The Keremeos Grist Mill and Gardens over the weekend of August 11 and 12. Admission was by donation and about 120 locals and visitors took in the special presentation. Proceeds were shared between the players and the Grist Mill Heritage Club. The company of 24 actors and their audiences found the flowing creek, lawns and gardens a delightful site for

a play. The performance wrapped up the Penticton Chamber Theatre tour of the South Okanagan and Similkameen. The cast and crew enjoyed a meal after the show at the Branding Iron Steakhouse in Keremeos. The next special event at The Grist Mill will be a quilt show on Sunday, September 16.

Counterfeit currency activity Osoyoos up to Kamloops, BC Interior BC Interior businesses seeing area wide counterfeit money activity Contributed The RCMP would like to advise the business communities throughout the Interior of the Province that several areas have recently experienced a spike in counterfeit money passing. Since July 26, RCMP have received twenty three (23) complaints where counterfeit currency was either passed or attempted to be passed in the communities of Oliver, Osoyoos, Okanagan Falls, Penticton, West Kelowna, Lake Country, Salmon Arm and Kamloops. These incidents involve Canadian bank notes in the $20, $50 and $100 denominations from the Canadian Journey Series (2001 – 2006). The public, merchants and businesses should always check the security features of the bank

note before accepting. The security features to check are: - the watermark or ghost image, - the security thread, - the overall print quality, - the metallic or holographic strip and, - the puzzle number or see through number. “The typical modus operandi is for the passer to make an inexpensive purchase and pay with a large denomination, in turn receiving a large percentage of change back in authentic currency, leaving the bogus bill in the till. Feel, look and flip the bank note to check the security features.” stated Cpl Dan Moskaluk. The RCMP would like to raise awareness to the public, businesses and merchants of these recent incidents involving counterfeit currency. For more information on counterfeiting prevention go to the Bank of Canada website at http://www.bankofcanada.ca/banknotes/ counterfeit-prevention/

THE REVIEW Publisher: Mark Walker 605 7th Ave,Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0

Editorial

Fairest policy for council is “no donations” Keremeos Village Council opted to turn down a request to have the village cover the cost of lunch this week when members of the ALS Cycle of Hope pass through the community. It was the right thing to do. The Cycle of Hope is truly a worthy effort; we aren’t denying that it isn’t a worthwhile cause. The issue is the precedent it would set - and council surely does not want to go there. Every year, countless bicycle tours pass through the village on their way across the province, or across the country, riding for just about every cause imaginable. (Indeed, Keremeos has it’s own homegrown bicycle touring fundraisers in Linda Pilon and Debbie Vernon - who, by the way, recently completed their 3,000 kilometre plus odyssey to Ontario for mitochondria research.) The donation of lunch to the ALS Cycle of Hope opens the floodgate for every other worthy cause that rides through the community to ask for - and expect - similar treatment. Council can’t afford to be selective when it comes to picking a cause to support; therefore, it is most fair not to support any.

B.C. liquor laws finally effective By Tom Fletcher Black Press Here’s a summer scene being played out all over North America. Family van pulls up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essentials: pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of beer and a bottle of vodka. Not in B.C. you say? It happens every day at rural agency liquor stores around the province. As with many other issues, there is one reality for urban B.C. and another for the rest of us. Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C cities and towns, but villagers and their visitors somehow manage it, just as everyone does across the line in Washington or Alaska. These rural agency stores are “flyspeck operators,” sniffs an acquaintance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores. Picture dusty old bottles on a rickety shelf, greedy owners and poorly trained clerks more likely to

sell to under-age drinkers. Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of private liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were legalized. And in fact there have been more violations in private stores, revealed in sting operations run by liquor inspectors. In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught selling to a minor, for an 84 per cent compliance rate. Only four government stores were caught, a pass rate of 96 per cent. Five rural agency stores were tested, and one flunked. But here is the telling statistic. In 2010, the government allowed liquor inspectors to employ actual minors to test stores. Previously, they hired people who looked young but were old enough to buy alcohol, As late as 2009, two out of three stores (government or otherwise) sold to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence. Now liquor inspectors send in undercover teens,

and relieve them of the evidence when they are allowed to buy booze. The watchdog now has teeth, and compliance has jumped. The government glossed over the poorer performance of private stores. But in fairness, three times as many private stores as government ones were targeted in the new inspections, and the gap is narrow. Government stores also have a huge built-in financial advantage in their wholesale rate, and are generally overstaffed by private sector standards. The B.C. Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency stores easier to establish. Regulation changes brought the minimum population served from 300 down to 200, and eliminated a vague requirement for a “bona fide community” to exist around the store. Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monopoly to a private contractor. The B.C. Government Employees’

Union has protested, despite assurances that their jobs will continue. B.C.’s burgeoning craft beer industry has looked to Alberta’s allprivate model and predicts higher costs. The B.C. Liberal government has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track. It’s great politics, but it matters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business. Another new regulation took effect this summer, creating a $525 fine for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own under-age children are exempted. Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establishments. If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justification remains for government liquor sales.

Reflections on the Olympics To the Editor: Last week I watched a bit of the Olympics. Although I’m not really a sports enthusiast, I do like to see people putting forth their best efforts, in almost anything. Pushing beyond challenging, grueling obstacles, even enduring pain and just not giving up or giving in is inspiring to see, and a joy to behold. Only the very best will get the gold, but sometimes it seems like there should be more gold medals. Not just for winning – because not everything is a competition – but just for saying “Good for you; you’re doing great!” Witnessing this quality in people is the most satisfying part of my job. There’s the client who grew up and survived horrendous abuse as a child, and then who ran into it again as an adult, but continued to care lovingly for her children, and even eventually for herself. Who has managed to let go of bitterness, and pull herself out of self-loathing, and create a new home and a new life. She deserves a medal. There’s the one who suddenly and tragically lost the new love of her life. And even in the midst of near-overwhelming grief still manages to be aware of the needs of others, and extends healing words and deeds and energy to them. She can’t see this by herself for the tears in her eyes, but she deserves to be told “You’re remarkable; you’re doing splendidly!” She

should get a medal. There’s the guy who finds the courage to be honest with himself, and to reach out for help as he commits to putting a stop to his controlling, abusive behavior patterns as a husband and a father, and to plunge into the hard work of “Changing for Good”*. Good for him! That’s gold medal stuff. Then there are just those people, never coming through my office, who always have a smile and a kind word for everyone – friend and stranger alike. Or the old guy who’s almost always grumpy and cynical, but he’s 94 and full of pain and he keeps going. Give them both a medal. A newborn baby just lies there, eats a little, poops and sleeps. Doesn’t even smile yet. And you can see the gold medal shining in her parent’s eyes. I think in a way life itself is a gold medal given to each of us, not even for what we do but for the potential within us. Don’t let it tarnish. Put it on and let it shine. Be kind, considerate, caring – the best you can be. That’s what gold is made of. We can all be winners. * “Change for Good” is a new free counseling program in the South OkanaganSimilkameen, for abusive men who want to change their behaviors. Ron Shonk, RCMP Victim Services Coordinator, Keremeos

Bilingualism has been a costly failure To the Editor: The latest census statistics has total population numbers and the declared first language spoken in the home by Canadians shown as either English or French or a language other than English or French. These actual numbers and percentages show that English is the primary language for the majority and Canada is in fact is multi-lingual. When we view these percentage figures in terms of one number out of a hundred it becomes easier to relate to and compare. In the four western provinces, the three territories and Ontario eighty-four (84) Canadians out of a hundred (100) declared English as their primary language, fourteen (14) declared a language other than English or French and two (2) declared French. In all of Canada, excluding Quebec, eightyfour (84) out of a hundred Canadians declared

English as their primary language, thirteen (13) declared a language other than English or French and three (3) declared French. In the province of Quebec, with one official language of French, eighty-two (82) citizens declared French as their primary language, eleven (11) declared English and seven (7) declared a language other than French or English. Quebec with a majority of their citizens declaring French as their primary language took a logical procedure and declared French as their one official language. The rest of Canada using similar logic for the majority should declare English as their one official language. Official bilingualism by law has been a costly failed policy and if no longer in effect could save Canadian consumers and taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Ken Kellington, Devon, Alberta.

Foreign object in apple leads to public warning To the Editor: Trying to do the right thing was out of the question as I have only one life to live and hanging onto a telephone till the end is not in my cards. On August 10, 2012 I decided to chomp down my daily apple. On about the third slice - my taste sensors detected a foreign object in my mouth. It turned out to be what appears to be a staple of sorts that appeared to have been imbedded in the apple. On August 11, it once again entered my mind that perhaps I should report the staple saga - but to whom? the apple industry - the newspaper? or the police, who won the toss. I phoned the Keremeos R.CM.P. detachment

U O Y DIDNOW? K

at 11 a.m.. Saturday August 11, and was soon detached after I was asked to hold. I didn’t think I could hang on till the cows came home while listening to that awful background music so I hung up wondering what if it had been an emergency - what if? Hopefully the Keremeos Review and other media will inform the public about a possible multi staple attack on the innocent apple that could cause a possible health problem for young and old. The rest is up to the individual to check before chomping - as it appears Halloween has arrived early. My conscious is now clear. Tom Isherwood, Olalla

Water Works with Jeremy

Little change indicated in local real estate markets

Too much water can be deterimental to lawn growth

By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The Keremeos real estate market saw a big increase in the average sales price for properties in the Lower Similkameen over last year. On a year to date basis, Keremeos posted a 101 per cent increase in average sales price - from $215,611 last year to $434,266 this year. Local realtor Tuesday McDonald explained that the statistic likely does not tell the whole story. “Because of the size of our market, it could Now is as good a time as any to invest in real be due to one or two more expensive proper- estate, says local realtor Tuesday McDonald. ties being sold this year, with last year’s sales being more moderately priced properties,” she year as well - 165 days on average versus 154 explained. days last year, with the total number of listings The numbers in higher activity markets, like also down by 12, from 182 last year to 170 this Penticton’s, where average prices are down by year. six per cent appear to reflect a more stable annual “I continue to be optimistic about the market price comparison here in Keremeos,” McDonald said. “You can So far this year, fewer properties have sold never tell when prices are going to start to rise compared to last year, at 50 units last year against again - and the only way for mortgage rates to 29 this year. go right now is up, so now is as good a time as It is taking a little longer to sell a property this any to buy.”

Water use column by Jeremy AugerPatry One of the objectives of the current watering restrictions is to reduce the amount of water that all your plants require. While most residents fully abide by the times set by the watering restrictions, they tend to overwater during the allowed hours. Overwatering your grass has a number of negative side effects. First off, your soil can only retain a certain amount of water and excessive watering leads to large amounts running off the soil and flowing to places that do not benefit your lawn. Runoff also carries off the surface layer of your soil, which contains necessary nutrients for your grass. And if you leave your grass trimmings on your lawn (which is a good practice as it protects the base of the grass and soil from the sun) the runoff can carry

those trimmings away leaving your soil more vulnerable. Overwatering also promotes shallow root growth in both your grass and plants such as bushes, flowers, junipers and trees. Shallow roots are susceptible to the radiation from the sun and burn easily. Burnt roots cause your plants to limit their nutrient intake while using the nutrients they do have to repair the damaged roots, which limits the aesthetic, upward growth. The most efficient schedule for watering your grass is to water twice a week in the evening and only for as long as it takes to use one – 1.5 inches of water. To measure this, place an empty tuna can within the spraying radius of your sprinkler, once the can is full there has been at least one inch of water applied to your lawn. Other plants follow a similar principle, you want two to three waterings per week that last up to two hours at most. This promotes deeper root growth that produces landscapes that are more water efficient and require less of your time and effort to maintain.

Prospects in the Similkameen Part 3 Is there still gold in the hills above Cawston? Big is not necessarily better - nor is it necessary - when it comes to developing economic mineral prospects

p until very recently, there was a landmark located just to the west of Highway 3A at the south entrance to Olalla marking the location of one of the most easily visible mining properties to residents of the Lower Similkameen. Valley residents travelling to Penticton have passed by the slowly decaying wooden bunker that marks the location of a nearby adit (tunnel) countless times on trips to the Okanagan. Situated about 50 metres north of the highway, sitting amidst a couple of manufactured homes at the base of the mountainside, the portal was evidence of prospecting work performed in 1948. Back then the prospect was a property belonging to Hedley Monarch Gold Mines Limited, with offices located on Granville Street in Vancouver. The company traded three million shares at roughly 50 cents in value in 1948, according to a report in the 1948 Report to the Minister of Mines. It further described the property as being bisected by “the newly paved and

Proposed boundary changes for federal ridings would split the Similkameen By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Boundary changes for federal electoral districts change every 10 year, but local MP Alex Atamanenko is particularly concerned that this year’s proposed changes will negatively impact the Similkameen. The Similkameen Valley would be cut in half at Keremeos under the proposal. Lands west of Keremeos would split off, and Hedley and Princeton would become part of the Central Okanagan - Coquihalla riding. Some of the concerns raised by Atamanenko include: - Historical patterns. Some changes would see communities form part of an electoral district for the first time in 100 years. - The Similkameen valley shares identities and interests around such things as watershed management, tourism and economic development, and it probably doesn’t make sense to split the valley in two. - Highway 3 is an important transportation corridor that ties in the flow of community life, goods and services and the natural flow from rural to nearby towns for service and business. - Rural communities have more in common with each other than interests in larger centres. Rural issues can receive less attention when there is a seat based in major population centre. - The new boundaries will make it harder for the people to reach their constituents. Hearings will be held this fall, one of which will take place in Penticton at the Lakeside Resort on Tuesday, October 9 at 7 p.m. Presently, the British Columbia Southern Interior riding has existing boundaries consisting of: (a) the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary; (b) that part of the Regional District of Central Kootenay comprised of: (i) the cities of Castlegar and Nelson; (ii) the villages of Kaslo, New Denver, Salmo, Silverton and Slocan; (iii) subdivisions E, F, G, H, I and J; (iv) that part of Subdivision D lying southerly of a line described as follows: commencing at the intersection of the southwesterly production of Cooper Creek with the easterly limit of Subdivision H of the Regional District of Central Kootenay; thence generally northeasterly along said production and said creek to the Duncan River; thence northerly along said river to Hamill Creek; thence generally northeasterly along said creek and its production to the easterly limit of Subdivision D of said regional district; and (c) that part of the Regional District Okanagan-Similkameen comprised of: the towns of Oliver, Osoyoos and Princeton; the Village of Keremeos; subdivisions “A”, “B”, “C”, “G” and “H”. The changes would see the Similkameen sharing two electoral districts: Central Okanagan—Coquihalla (Population: 107,929), consisting of (locally): (a) that part of the Regional District Okanagan-Similkameen comprised of: (i) the District Municipality of Summerland; (ii) the Town of Princeton; (iii) that part of Subdivision D lying northerly of a line described as follows: commencing at the intersection of the southerly limit of said subdivision with Highway

Curiosity has landed on Mars

he high point of the August long weekend must be the successful landing of the Mars rover Curiosity on the Red Planet. Making the event even more dramatic, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter was passing overhead during the landing and photographed the rover hanging from its parachute, on its way to a successful landing in Gale Crater. About the size of a Mini Cooper and weighing about a tonne, Curiosity is the largest thing we

have ever landed on Mars. This was a challenge. In the thin Martian atmosphere, parachutes cannot slow you down enough for a soft landing. One solution used in the past was to embed the lander in partially-inflated balls that act as shock absorbers. When the rolling and bouncing has stopped, they can be discarded. This method works well, but not for big, heavy things, such as Curiosity, and eventually, for the first manned landing on Mars. The “sky crane” approach, lowering Curiosity on cables from a rocketequipped platform, made sure Curiosity did not end up sitting in the middle of melted, blasted ground, contaminated by rocket exhaust. This mission will tell us a lot more about many

aspects of the Red Planet, but one of the main objectives is the search for life, present or extinct. Studies of the gas and dust clouds making up much of our galaxy and many others show they contain the ingredients for the sort of carbon-based chemistry that is the foundation of life as we know it. Which in turn suggests that carbon-based life will have what it needs to get started on any suitable planet. Mars is remarkably like the Earth and both planets share similar histories. Both worlds were born about 4.5 billion years ago, along with the Sun and other bodies of the Solar System. The earliest signs of life on Earth occur in rocks about three billion years old. Results from previous Mars landers suggest that around that time conditions on Mars

were similar to conditions on Earth: a dense atmosphere, mild temperatures, and rivers, lakes and oceans. However, being smaller than the Earth and lacking our strong magnetic field, Mars was less able to hang onto its atmosphere. So it became the cold, dry body we see today, and whatever living things existed either became extinct or took refuge underground. However, even if Martian life is long-gone, there should be trace chemicals in the soils and rocks that will show that life existed. Part of the equipment for this search for life is “Made in Canada”, by the University of Guelph and the Canadian Space Agency. It will be used to detect chemical traces in rocks and soils. Curiosity is landed in a crater, where a meteoric im-

pact has stirred up the rocks, revealing outcrops not otherwise reachable and making sampling easier. It is a mark of our progress in exploring Mars that we can actually buy books about Martian geology. However, if I were you I would hold off heading for the bookstore for a while. We could be expecting a new and updated edition, quite soon. Mars, Saturn and the star Spica are close together low in the southwest after dark. Venus and Jupiter shine brightly in the eastern sky in the early hours. You might glimpse Mercury, low in the dawn sky. The Moon will be new on the 17th.

health t h e p o o p o n s c a t. . . a n d o t h e r w i l d l i f e s k i l l s By Lindsay Coulter Summer is a time for off-grid experiences like hiking, canoeing, biking, or camping. This year, enrich your next outdoor adventure — whether it’s a walk in the woods at the family cabin, or a trip into the back country. Learn to read animal signs Simple clues can tell you who calls the area home. Claw marks or rubs and scrapes on trees, trails through the forest, or poop (also known by its scientific name, “scat”) can be very revealing! (Think wildlife CSI) Scat shape and size depends on what the animal eats. A few tips to tell hoofed animals apart (with visuals you won’t soon forget): Moose scat looks like chocolate almonds Elk scat resembles chocolate kisses Deer scat looks like chocolate-covered raisins Protect wildlife trees Standing dead trees, also known as wildlife trees, make excellent habitat. Think twice before you fell one near your campsite or on your property. A tree remains part of the forest long after its death. In fact, some remain standing for up to half the time they stood while alive. They may not be pleasing to the human eye, but dead treetops or branches without leaves or needles make ideal observation posts and hunting perches. Loose bark on a dead tree can be home to bats or small birds, providing shelter and safety. The size of the hole in a tree can tell you which species lives there. Chickadees use cavity entrances 3.5 cm wide, while the Northern Flicker needs a cavity 6.5 cm wide. A large tree that’s rotten inside is the perfect chamber for nesting Great Horned Owls. A tree with a broken top provides a cavity, perch, or open nest site for flying squirrels, hawks, or eagles. Only cut down trees that pose a safety risk to you, your home, or property. Use designated firewood j Don’t collect firewood from the forest floor. You could be disturbing the home of a salamander! When a tree falls in a forest, its role in nature is far from over. Decaying trees recycle nutrients, which builds up the soil. Fallen trees become homes for insects, like carpenter ants, which are a delicacy to pileated woodpeckers and black bears. Leave no Trace outdoor ethics recommends only using small pieces of wood no larger than the diameter of your wrist, or designated firewood. Do you have a favourite close-encounter-with-wildlife story? Sincerely, Lindsay Coulter, Queen of Green

DIGITAL HUMAN BODY The idea of digitalization of the human body is coming. There are blood glucose machines that can connect to an iPhone. Soon, blood pressure and other vital statistics will be added and can be downloaded to your doctor. Eventually, your genetic data will be in a form that will allow your doctor to prescribe the drug that will work best for you. BRUISING AND AGE Bruising is more common as we get older. Tiny blood vessels, called capillaries in our skin become more fragile and are more likely to rupture. Also the skin contains less fat so there is less protection for the capillaries. Even though we bruise more easily as we age, your doctor should be consulted if you have large painful bruises or bruises that come on suddenly. HEARTBURN Heartburn results when the valve that shuts off the tube to the stomach doesn’t seal well enough and allows the food to come back up the tube (esophagus). Because that food has been mixing with stomach acid, this regurgitation causes the burning feeling in the esophagus. If heartburn becomes chronic, see your doctor. THIS MAY HELP THE MEDICINE GO DOWN... If you have to give your child a medication that doesn’t taste that good, try giving a cold treat like a Popsicle before and after giving the medicine. The cold will help numb the taste buds and make the bad taste less noticeable. Our pharmacists feel that keeping current with all the latest advances in medicine and pharmacy is important. It enables us to serve you better.

OBITUARY

HAUGEN LARS: On Friday, July 13, 2012, cancer claimed the life of Lars Haugen at the age of 77 years. Lars Harry, son of the late Theodore and Kristi Haugen, was born January 28, 1935 in Spy Hill, Saskatchewan. He was born into a time of unimaginable hardship. The Great Depression was still wreaking its global havoc. Saskatchewan was very hard hit. The family lost their farm and most of their worldly goods. In the fall of 1938, the family moved to Birch River, Manitoba to try to better their situation. The move was made possible by the innovative father who cut the top off the Model T Ford and stripped the back seat down to the car frame. He then built a large platform to accommodate the barest of necessities and the 8 children who ranged in age from 16 to 1. Lars was 3 at that time. The other day, Ole was saying that whenever the car ran out of gas on that unforgettable “trip”, he, a gas can in hand, and a younger brother, Martin, at his side (Ole was 15, Martin 13), went to homes along the way to “beg” gas. Those shy, proud boys found that a difÀcult thing to do. Lars was predeceased by his infant brother, Nils, in 1937 (Matilda’s twin), his father Theodore 1965, his brother Martin and mother 1989, his brother Knute 1991, his sister Sarah 1992, and his brother Roy 1995. Left to cherish his memory are his three surviving siblings: Olaf (Inger) Haugen, Thora (Jack) Lyons, Matilda (John) Adair and his cousins and many nieces and nephews and friends. Lars had various jobs throughout his life. For several years he worked as a diamond drill miner in northern Manitoba. Later, he returned to Birch River where he cleared land, farmed and worked with his brothers in a logging business. He Ànished out his working years in Vancouver and then, retired to Keremeos, BC, to be near family. Lars greatly missed his large family. Mom... so kind, so honest, so hardworking. Dad...an interesting person who always had a book in his hand and a math question for his older children... the many neighbours who frequented the home for a cup of coffee and Mother’s famed fry cakes. A lot of “politikking” went on around that old kitchen table! Lars had a sharp wit and he loved a good story. Shortly before his death, Lars told us this one. We all had a good laugh. Some years ago, his old friend, George, and he were having coffee and reminiscing. George said that in the fall of 1938, he was a young, very naïve boy who spent much of his time in the woods checking the spruce trees for spruce gum, picking wild berries and scaring up prairie chickens and partridges. Things like that. He went on to say that one sunny afternoon, he was out in the blueberry patch cramming blueberries into his mouth when he looked up and saw something he had never seen before! Visitors from heaven! George said he ran home and told his mother that he had just seen a bunch of blonde angels standing in the back of a truck in the blueberry patch. His mother set him straight. She said: “Them’s no angels, George, them’s the Haugens”. Lars had a questioning mind and he read a great deal on a large variety of subjects. When he sought answers to such questions as Why are we here? Why do we die? he searched the Bible. Just prior to his death, a niece asked him if he thought he would see his mother again. Lars replied, “ Yes, I do. I believe I will see her again on this earth and I’m sure her Àrst words to me will be, ‘Lars, is the coffee pot on’? Lars’ hope is based on Jesus’ words at Matthew 5:5. The family give warm thanks to the following people in Keremeos who helped Lars so much and showed him such loving kindness: Dr. Partridge, Keremeos Diagnostic Centre, Keremeos Home Care, Pharmasave, the management, staff, and residents at the Mountain View Manor. Lars often mentioned 3 people who lived at the Manor: Bill, June and Lisa. Lars’ family also give warm thanks to the doctors, nurses, cleaning staff, etc., at Moog & Friends Hospice House, Penticton, B.C. You were all so kind. (Tracey, Lars’ wish was that you keep up your Norwegian)
