Manager Kris Friesen of Similkameen Turkey Farm is busy finishing the last of the 2013 flock. The farm recently received humane certification, which helps ensure the birds are raised in a healthier, more liveable environment. The flock is even provided with “enhancements” - toys - such as balls and shiny CDs to play with. By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Kris Friesen was a busy man on the afternoon of November 20, after a sudden surge of cold air enveloped the Lower Similkameen. “I had a water line break, and I’m trying to keep my birds from freezing,” he explained, as he dismounted from his tractor. Kris, along with wife Jody, are the new managers of Similkameen Turkey Farm, previously VanDieman’s.
The business changed hands roughly a year ago, and is now owned by Brian Pauls of Abbotsford. The Pauls family own a number of turkey farms in the Lower Mainland and on the prairies. The Friesens arrived in Keremeos five months ago, and since then, Kris has been a very busy man, last Wednesday notwithstanding. Similkameen Turkey Farm processes 660,000 kilograms of turkey annually, which translates into approximately 88,000 birds.
“It takes about 13 weeks to raise a bird,” Friesen explained, “we processed five flocks in 2013, and we have plans to expand.” The farm is currently raising the flock bound for Christmas dinner tables this year - 13,500 birds that will complete the growing cycle for the farm for this year. Friesen said that locally, the farm sells roughly 3,000 birds over the Thanksgiving season, and another 5-6,000 over the Christmas season. The remainder of the flock continued on page 3

Keremeos pit bull attack results in death of two dogs

Wayne and Donna Stolz are mourning the death of their pet Shih Tzu dog after it was mauled by a pit bull on Friday, Nov. 22, in the front yard of their Keremeos home. Donna had just taken 10-yearold Angel outside for a bathroom break around 4 p.m. when the attack occurred. “Angel had arthritis in her hind legs, so I had to carry her outside to avoid her using the steps,” explained a teary-eyed Donna on Monday morning. “I put her down on the grass right beside the steps, and the pit bull came out of nowhere. It had Angel in its mouth, tossing her around like a rag doll.” The dog had come from a recently occupied across the street. A member of the household heard Donna yelling for help, and raced across the street to separate the dogs. It only took a few seconds, but the damage to Angel was extensive. She had been eviscerated by the attack. “I couldn’t do anything,” said Donna who sobbed as she recounted the event. Because neither party had access to a vehicle, Donna called the police, who placed Donna and Angel in the cruiser and drove the wounded animal to the nearest vet in Osoyoos. The dog was too badly wounded, however, and was put down. “I feel really bad,” said the owner of the pit bull, who lives just across the street. “The dog was in the house, he must have snuck out the door without anyone noticing.”

Wayne and Donna Stolz with photos of their Shih Tzu “Angel.” The dog was attacked and mauled by a pit bull on November 22. The backyard of the home where the pit bull lives is lined with a fence which has “Beware of dog” notices attached. The tearful neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said her dog had never done anything like this before. “I’m going to lose my dog, too,” she said Monday morning, still distraught over the incident. “They have asked to have the dog destroyed, and I will not deny them.” The Stolz’ wished to have the pit bull put down. “To see that happen before my eyes, and not be able to do anything about it - I’m still very shocked. My dear little Angel was dying in my arms on the front lawn,” Donna sobbed at the memory. Wayne’s sorrow was tinged with anger on Monday as he questioned why the pit bull was offleash and unmuzzled. “Angel was Donna’s peace and tranquility.

Why should we be responsible for the vet bill, when that pit bull killed our dog?” he asked. A statement released by the Keremeos RCMP detachment said that no charges were pending as a result of the attack, noting the pit bull did not have a reputation for aggressive behaviour. Police subsequently turned the file over to Keremeos bylaw officer Kevin Aschhoff. Keremeos Village Chief Administrative Officer Laurie Taylor said Monday that the Bylaw Officer Aschhoff had been investigating the incident. “I understand the pit bull is being voluntarily surrendered today, and will be put down,” Taylor said late Monday morning. “It’s a tragedy for everyone involved,” said acting detachment Commander Martin Trudeau. “There was no malicious intent involved - some dogs have a highly developed prey drive, and if that’s the case here, it’s just a very unfortunate incident where everyone loses.” farm. “There are no other poultry farms nearby, so therefore little chance of cross-contamination,” he explained. “The dry weather here is also a key factor - when birds get wet, they get sick.” Friesen has another couple of weeks to go before the final flock of the year is shipped to the Lower Mainland for slaughter. The birds are normally processed here, but a province wide dismissal of inspectors has temporarily forced Similkameen Farms to transport the birds to larger facilities on the coast for processing. Local consumers who are concerned about where their food comes from and how it is grown can continue to take heart in the knowledge that the locally grown poultry they’ve known for years will continue to be not only available, but healthier and tastier.

Editorial Silver lining in nasty incident A pit bull attack in a neighbourhood in Keremeos last week was a duel tragedy for both families involved. We are a nation of dog lovers, and closer to home, Keremeos is a community of residents who share great affection for man’s best friend. When something like this happens, it hits all of us close to the heart. In the case of last week’s attack in Keremeos, two families became victims. There was no malicious intent involved; the dog who attacked had no history of aggressive behaviour, and had been leashed or fenced in - but anyone who has a pet knows how quickly an animal can slip away, even under the most attentive care. As a result of the attack, both families have lost their pets. Misery and sorrow was palpable on the street where the attack occurred, even days after the attack. But even in the most sorrowful of circumstances, we noticed some good things that have come out of this nasty incident. Keremeos RCMP showed compassion, conciliatory skills and a strong sense of service to the community in their handling of the incident, from the transporting of the injured animal to the vet (no one involved had access to a vehicle) to the defusing of neighbourly emotions running high over last weekend. The two families involved also deserve praise for the restraint they showed in the midst of their sorrow, grief and anger. Their civility towards each other kept a bad situation from escalating into something even worse. We hope both families can eventually come to terms with the incident, and find some peace in the common ground that exists between them - both victims of an unfortunate set of circumstances, both of whom have lost significantly, but at the same time, both of whom must also continue to live as neighbours.

Carbon neutral scheme is sinking in B.C. Two days after Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced the demise of the Pacific Carbon Trust, the public accounts committee convened at the legislature to pound a few more nails into its carbon-sequestering coffin. Assistant Auditor General Morris Sydor was there to defend his report from last March that concluded the B.C. government was not “carbon neutral” in 2010, because the trust paid $6 million for hastily arranged offset projects that were not valid. An Encana Corp. gas flaring reduction project at Fort Nelson and a forest preserve in the Kootenays would have proceeded without assistance from $25 a tonne carbon fee imposed on hospitals, universities, colleges and until last year, school districts. In fact they did proceed without this subsidy. The government continues to deny this, but not many people outside the international carbon offset sales racket believe them.
The Pacific Carbon Trust’s functions will continue, Bennett said. Instead of a board of directors and 18 staff, five people headed by an assistant deputy minister will evaluate projects and bestow millions taken from college, university and health authority budgets each year. B.C.’s school districts are still paying $5 million a year to offset such nefarious activities as heating their schools. But now the money goes into a “Carbon Neutral Capital Program,” and districts have to apply to get their money back for emission-reducing projects. This is going so well, according to Bennett, that post-secondary institutions and health authorities will be converted to a similar program in the years ahead. How is that school program going? Here are some examples. The Coast Mountains School District around Terrace paid $66,452 for carbon offsets last year. It got back most of its three years of offset payments as a grant to complete a boiler upgrade
for its Kitimat high school. Abbotsford and Nanaimo school districts each have to pay about $100,000 a year. They got money back for school boiler upgrades as well, although local school officials say that would not likely have been the top priority for spending, if it hadn’t been for the program that forces districts to spend grants immediately on emission reduction. Surrey school district paid out $585,000 last year, and also upgraded boilers. Vancouver’s pitch this year was for three electric cars. Leaving aside the distortion of spending priorities caused by this restrictive tax-and-spend scheme, what happens when they run out of boilers to upgrade? And has it occurred to the government’s “carbon neutral” braintrust that those new boilers are still burning natural gas? This program is about to be foisted onto universities and hospitals. Does anyone actually believe that heating hospitals and college classrooms is a key driver of global warming? Pre-
sumably our carbon czars know that 40 per cent of B.C.’s human-generated greenhouse gas emissions are from transportation, and a few electric cars for school district staff aren’t going to change that. And what happens when colleges and hospitals run out of boilers to modernize and insulation to upgrade? It won’t be long at this rate. In hindsight, this “carbon neutral government” scheme is perhaps the worst single idea implemented in 12 years of B.C. Liberal government. Gordon Campbell’s grand vision of a province where government sets the green standard and the private sector economy follows has simply not worked. The NDP presented a motion in April 2012 to relieve hospitals, colleges and universities of their carbon offset obligation. The idea was supported by a B.C. Liberal backbencher, who argued that B.C. should also scrap the carbon tax and quit pretending it can change the climate. His name? Bill Bennett.

Attempted arson at Keremeos Museum
By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
On Friday, November 22, Keremeos Museum volunteers noticed a broken window at the museum. Upon entry to the building, they discovered the roller blind behind the window was scorched. The police investigated and found dead leaves inside the museum below the window. The blind and the curtain were scorched but no other damaged ensued. This may appear to be a case of minor vandalism, but the damage is costly, as the muntons, the wood pieces between the panes of glass, were broken out, so it is not a simple matter of replacing a pane of glass. A whole new window will have to be bought and it
will have to be custom made. Vandalism like this is a disgrace to the community. Should the museum have burned, years of history and stories would have been lost. Thankfully the computer with most of the photos scanned into it was safe as it is removed from the museum during the winter months. Keremeos has been victim to a number of unusual vandalism sprees in the past few weeks. Residents are urged to be vigiliant about unusual activity in the village during the night time hours. Police (250-499-5511) or Crime Stoppers (1-800222-8477) are interested in hearing any details you might have regarding this or other vandalism that has taken place recently in the village.
Hotel Bethlehem, a rollicking Christmas show Contributed by Dave Cursons Cawston Players present a definitely different take on events occurring in the Hotel Bethlehem. The shady innkeeper, Joshua, looks like he is going to get crucified being caught making out with his maid named Mary. Two Roman soldiers are ready to put him on the cross unless he can bribe and lie his way out of the predicament. The whole affair is complicated by the arrival of Joseph with his pregnant wife, Mary, and two shepherds wanting to give their lamb (also named Mary) a natural water birth. Throw in the arrival of the three “Wise Men” and a Roman census taker, charmed by the alluring maid Mary and convinced Joshua is hiding rooms, thus avoiding taxes and you have the

An alternative view of marijuana legislation To the Editor: After reading the article written by Clancy Madden regarding legalizing the use of none prescription drugs, I am completely blown away that our government would engage someone who is so opinionated and vocal to canvass our towns while attempting to sway those canvassed on his yes or no ballet. Can this be real or is this just another kook stoked on what ever using our local media to sound off ? If we were to resolve this issue in a sensible and logical way it would be necessary to seriously look at control using the systems that are now in place for drug use, that being our pharmacies. Would it not make sense to have those who require pain medication receive it through prescription and regulated sources? Government certified farms could then be the only legal suppliers of marijuana or derivatives and all other sources be deemed illegal. Do the pharmaceutical companies
have such a choke hold on our government that drug stores will not be allowed to dispense drugs that do not come from their factories? For those mentioned as pot users (grandmas / grandpas), yes it is sad a few have now turned to become part of the problem. Police, lawyers, doctors, judges, etc., etc., who have sworn oath to work responsibly within the law that are found to be illegal drugs users should be severely punished and forever banned from practices or law enforcement. The sentences and punishment for each offence should be preset and the only question answered through trials would be innocent or guilty. Its time to get real, just because it is your kid, grandchild, sibling, parent, or good friend it makes no difference. Right is right, and wrong is wrong and the only way to be helpful is to be honest offering help based on real values. Regards, Darryl Brewer, Hedley
Fortis’ estimated bills continue to raise customer’s ire To the Editor: I agree with Mr. Henshaw as he writes in the November 21 Review that BCUC should be making Fortis read our meters, but they don’t seem to care. On September 21, I wrote to the BCUC to complain that our meters had not been read since May and that Fortis overestimated my June bill by enough that I was charged some useage at the tier two rate that shouldn’t have been, and that all my bills since then have been overestimated. I received a reply from BCUC dated October 1 telling me that they could not tell a company how to run its business, and that any complaints regarding how Fortis runs its business should be directed to Fortis. Their reply also said that Fortis has advised BCUC that they will correct and credit all overcharges after the labour dispute has ended. You may have noticed the following
statement on your Fortis bills: “During labour action your meter won’t be read as usual, but that as a Fortis BC customer, you have the right to read your own meter.” On September 9, I sent a letter to Fortis with my June, July and August meter readings so they could correct the overbilling on my account. Fortis informed me that during this labour dispute they are not allowed to input any readings. How does this make any sense whatsoever? Interestingly, my last Fortis bill did not include the statement that we are allowed to read our own meters. I’m not sure how Fortis thinks they will be able to correct our bills, six or more months after the fact, but I would advise everyone to start keeping some sort of record of their power consumption. If not, you may get a very unpleasant surprise once the labour dispute ends. Bill Copeland, Cawston

No means to contibute to Phillipine typhoon relief in Keremeos To the Editor: As a recent arrival in Keremeos I was a little appalled at the town’s and the credit union’s lack of response to the disaster in the Phillipines. When I went into the credit union to donate money to cyclone relief, the best
they could (come) up with was a domestic worker who was collecting cash. My question is this: how does this reflect on the character of the town (or lack of it) and the credit union? Bill Reaume, Keremeos

Native students begin Similkameen water studies By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
First Nations students from Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Shoal Lake Ontario, and Beausoliel Island on Georgian Bay arrived in the Similkameen earlier this week to participate in the second of four water conferences. Four Similkameen students are also
participating in the studies, hosted by Amanda Karst, Program Facilitator for the Centre for Indegenous Environmental Resources, developers of the program. “The students have a busy schedule,” Karst said Monday morning as students prepared for opening ceremony exercises, which included a “smudging” ceremony just outside Similkameen
Elementary Secondary School. “The idea is for the students to identify water action priorities in each community they visit,” said Karst. “They work out details of a water plan, find out who to partner with and create a budget. They will also be developing a digital story to run on the centre’s website.” Karst said the group, which consists
of four students from the four water regions of Canada, will also take a one day field trip to the Okanagan to explore water issues in that valley between Osoyoos and Penticton. The groups’ first study area was with the Beausoliel First Nations in Ontario. By the third session, the groups will begin to implement their water action plans to their communities. The students will spend a week studying water issues in the Similkameen.

Regional district and ministry team up to enforce signage laws
Photo by Steve Arstad
By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
A regional enforcement of roadside signage in about to get underway.
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen are about to embark on a regional roadside signage clean up. Jeff Wiseman, District Operations Manager, told the regional board November 21 that phase one of a three part clean up of roadside signage along Highways 97, 3, and 3A would be getting underway in the next few weeks. The first phase will concentrate on the southern portion of Highway 97, from Oliver south to the border. The action comes as a result of a board discussion a year ago that concluded with a resolution to enforce the regional district signage bylaw. Working in conjunction with the ministry, an inventory of signage has since been compiled. All illegally placed
signage will be targeted, and the owners of illegally placed signage will be notified of their infraction and asked to remove the sign. Subsequent action, if needed, will be more heavy-handed. Wiseman made it clear to the board that the ministry’s road side signage policy was simple and clear: “No private signs without a permit on highway right of way.” He also explained to the board that the ministry rarely granted permits. He also noted that the ministry had no jurisdiction on federal lands, including native reserves. Signage on private property subject to RDOS electoral area or municipal bylaws will also be enforced according to local legislation. The regional district has size restrictions, does not allow third party signage or off premises signs.
Area “B” Director George Bush asked whether large signs that were not in compliance would be grandfathered, noting that many farmers and fruit stands in the Lower Similkameen may not be in compliance. Wiseman replied that the ministry did not have a grandfather clause, although large signs such as the Cawston entrance sign was a permitted use. The placement of magnetic signs along regional highways was also discussed. Wiseman noted that magnetic sign owners had been “chased” by the ministry until their recent location on reserve land. Letters sent to the band by the ministry had not yet been answered. Signage enforcement in the Lower Similkameen should begin early in 2014.

Village council votes against riparian pruning By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society Coordinator Lisa Scott spoke to Keremeos Village Council about the society’s work in 2013 during the November 18 regular meeting of council. The Christmas Hamper Fund Committee sent a request to council for free use of the Community Kitchen and Victory Hall. Council agreed to provide a donation up to $515 to the Hamper Fund to assist them in offsetting the cost for the use of the two venues. Council has moved away from the practice of allowing free use of Victory Hall, instead providing qualifying charities
with a donation to offset the cost. Council confirmed to staff their 2014 convention schedule. Three and possibly four councillors made requests to attend the Southern Interior Local Government Association convention being held in Penticton, April 30 - May 2. Estimated cost for each member to attend is $630. No one will be attending the Federation of Canadian Municipalities convention being held in Niagara Falls, Ontario, in 2014. Mayor Bauer and Councillor Thielmann requested attendance at the 2014 Union of BC Municipalities convention, to be held in Whistler, at a cost of $2,705 per attendee. Mayor Bauer is
considering attendance to the Local Government Leadership Academy, to be held at the Vancouver airport Radisson Hotel. Cost of attendance is estimated at $1,074. A request from several Keremeos strata residents to have trees located in the riparian area behind 815 11th Avenue trimmed back in order to provide sightlines for residents’ satellite dishes was turned down by council. A staff report noted that removal or trimming of trees in a riparian area were subject to strict regulation, none of which could be applied in this case. Opportunities within the strata complex to relocate the satellite antennas were available, but would
require a change in strata rules. Councillor Thielmann was singularly opposed to the motion to deny.
Saturday, November 30, 12 to 2 pm Elks Hall, Oliver, BC A light lunch will be served.

Mayors report: Union of B.C. Muncipalities conference, Vancouver Contributed Every year delegates from all municipalities and regional districts in British Columbia meet to discuss issues of common concern. Resolutions are brought forward and their merits debated before being passed on to the provincial government for further consideration. This year 156 resolutions from all over the province were introduced. Workshops are offered to educate local politicians on a variety of issues and updates on new rules and regulations are provided. This year’s theme of the conference was “Navigating the local landscape”, an attempt to steer through the countless programs and the myriad of challenges local governments are facing.
Sunday I attended the “Mayor’s for Highway 3” meeting. Priorities were confirmed to promote the completion of the Princeton-Hope project and secondary goals were established. Resurfacing the stretch of Highway 3 between Sumac Road and Cawston was one of the suggestions in preparation for the meeting with the Premier and the Minister of transportation the next day. Monday, September 16, the “BC Mayor’s Caucus”, an all day conference, gave opportunity for mayors from around the province to talk about emergent issues. Tuesday, September 17, networking activities and the “Small Talk Forum” provided a chance to talk with representatives from other small communi-
ties about common problems. Some of the leading concerns included health care, water, sewer, public transportation and sustainability of services. I contributed to the convention and the promotion of the Similkameen Valley by organizing a Community Destination Development Presentation that explored the value of tourism to B.C. communities and the benefits of developing a comprehensive multi-year tourism plan. This was presented in collaboration with representatives from TOTA, the Similkameen Valley Planning Society (SVPS) and the Ministry of Tourism. The presentation also showcased our new website “Similkameenvalley.com”. Subsequently, the Similkameen Valley Planning Society, through the chair
(Mayor Bauer), was recognized for its contribution to the conference and awarded a donation to the Stephen Lewis grandmothers fund in the fight against aids. We met with Minister Pimm (Agriculture) to talk about the lack of regulations in regards to basic amenities for transient farm workers and urged him to introduce new regulations prohibiting recreational activities in riparian areas. I also spoke to the minister about the organic farming institute in Cawston and the challenges it faces. Following up on our resolution regarding the Fortis BC two tier rate system and participating in numerous meetings with ministers on issues of regional importance concluded the day.
Wednesday and Thursday, the conference commenced with reports, workshops and clinics as well as the resolution process and the election of the new UBCM board of directors. A panel of cabinet ministers was also available for direct dialogue. A full program of the conference, clinics, workshops as well as policy papers and resolutions is available on the UBCM website. The conference concluded on Friday with the installation of the president elect and the premier addressing the delegates. These conferences have proven to be an effective tool for communicating our challenges to ministers and their staff and to help build a network of resource contacts. Delegate costs Convention cost
ties convention held in Vancouver was $5,023.93.
