Keremeos volunteers fight back to back fires Village “goes to blazes” with two weekend fires By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department responded to a fire that broke out in a building containing a pet groomers, with living quarters in the rear, in Keremeos at apprxomately 1:30 a.m. Monday, February 3. The building, located on Seventh Avenue, was destroyed in the blaze. Sixteen firefighters battled through a chilly, windy night to save adja-
cent buildings. Seventh Avenue was turned into a skating rink in front of the business, located between the Keremeos BC Liquor store and Berg’s Ox Yoke Collectables shop. “It was a good save,” said a thankful Geoff Berg, owner of the collectable store adjacent to the fire. “The firefighters were in and out of here all night, making sure the wall stayed cool.” Berg’s business is intact, save for some minor smoke damage. The Paw Spa, a main street business that only opened its doors in November last year, was totally destroyed in the fire. “I lost everything,” said Jen-
nifer Montgomery, owner of the Paw Spa, as she surveyed the pile of rubble that used to house her business early Monday morning. Montgomery figures she lost $10,000 worth of equipment in the fire. “I was just starting out, trying to get going,” she said, “and I hadn’t yet purchased insurance.” Montgomery is looking at other locations on Seventh Avenue to relocate in. In the meantime, she plans to operate out of her home. Berg spent much of Monday venting smoke from his business continued on page 3

Daily routines return to normal after slide By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Probably no one was more pleased than residents of the Similkameen Valley to hear the news that Highway 3 was reopened on Thursday, January 30 after being shut down due to a rock slide. Similkameen Elementary Secondary School students, staff and parents worked together to find detours around the January 27 rockslide that shut down Highway 3 between Hedley and Keremeos. Twenty-one students were affected by the slide, having no bus service and a long, difficult detour up Nickle Plate Mountain for parents willing to make a daily commute between the two communities. SESS Principal Cate Turner said initially there was some chaos last Monday, when the road was declared closed, but by 3:15 p.m. all parents affected had been notified and alternative arrangements made for the students at school. “It wasn’t that bad - everyone pitched in,” she said, adding some students stayed in Keremeos with family or friends, while others made the trip over Nickle Plate. Complicating matters later in the week came a heavy snowfall on Wednesday morning. Both natural events conspired to make it difficult for some students to make it to school during what turns out to be a crucial week, as exams were being written by senior students every day. Students affected by the slide who needed to write Provincial exams were able to do so in Princeton, Turner said, adding Princeton school had been very cooperative during the road closure. A delegation of Upper Similkameen politicians attending a water conference in Duncan spent the afternoon of January 29 trying to decide which route to use to return to Princeton prior to their flight back to Penticton later that day. Several other residents faced similar dilemmas when it came to getting to and from their jobs in the Similkameen. Tammy Hartfield and Sandy Nolan split their week between offices in Keremeos and Princeton. On January 27, both woman had their 45 minute commutes extend to three hours as the two were forced to take the Princeton-Summerland road back. “The first half was okay,” said Hartfield, “it was paved. The last part into Summerland was icy, rough and slow.” Phaedra Seaman who works in
Keremeos, commutes daily from Hedley. Since Monday, she made her way back and forth over the Nickle Plate. “It was pretty slippery, and narrow,” she said of her trip home Monday evening after the slide. Seaman also said that eastbound traffic made for some very narrow road conditions, especially on the mulitiple switchbacks lacing the back side of the mountain route. Aaron Beauchamp depot manager for Greyhound Bus Lines, said the morning bus had been arriving around the normally scheduled time since the slide, but afternoon service was reduced to an “as needed” basis. “The afternoon bus only came if there were passengers booked ahead of time,” he said. The bus picked up passengers in Keremeos, then drove to Penticton, where passengers were routed through the Coquihalla to the coast. Tammy Vesper of Vesper Transport in Cawston said the slide proved to be a big headache to their trucking business. “We have had five trucks sitting all week, because we haul out of Princeton Wood Products and other post mills in the area. “The mills were getting backed up, too. “It’s not worth us going all the way around. So we sat. One truck was in Vanouver at the time, but he came home via the connector.” Jeff Berg of Berg’s Ox Yoke collectables store on Seventh Avenue was glad to see the end of the road closure on Thursday evening. “Even this time of year there are tourists and people stopping for a break on their way through the village,” he said. “This week has been really quiet.” There was one entourage that spent time in Keremeos through last week, and their primary reason for being in the area was centred around the slide. Film crew members from the Discovery Channel television series Highway Thru Hell spent several days in the area, filming the slide for an episode to be run in November. Through traffic in Keremeos was noticeably diminished by the slide, with only sporadic local traffic in the village’s main street for most of the week. Perhaps that was the only silver lining in the slide’s aftermath - a noticeable reduction in truck traffic through the downtown core. By Friday morning, however, it was a rapidly fading memory, as business as usual returned to Keremeos’ main street.

Ambassador program introduced to Keremeos By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Sherry Philpott- Adhikary is heading up the new Keremeos Ambassador Program. She spoke to members of Keremeos council recently, as she sought to enlighten council members about the program and seek funding sources. “I’m looking for a committee to run this - the community has never had this program before,” she told council, noting that the village’s royalty program had not been active for more than a decade. The Ambassador Program differs from the village’s old royalty program in that both genders are allowed to participate, and less emphasis is placed on clothing and appearance.
“The Ambassador program places more emphasis on the rep’s personality, and their ability to represent the community,” PhilpottAdhikary explained. Philpott - Adhikary said there had been quite a bit of interest in the program, and 13 students had initially signed up to date. Youth involved in the program will be in training between now and May 16, when the pageant will take place. Three Ambassadors will represent Keremeos and area in special events, both in and out of the village. Téa Hartfield is one of the candidated participating in the program to date. She hopes the experience will build her interview skills, in addition to speaking in public. She is busy looking for a sponsor as she studies the ambassador program material in preparation for the May

Editorial
Kudos to Keremeos firefighters Keremeos volunteer firefighters will hopefully be receiving some well deserved praise from the public following last weekend’s blazes in the village. Both fires were well underway prior to the department’s dispatch. A prompt response on Saturday to the Riverbed Bistro likely saved the whole building from being gutted. There was a good response in turnout numbers for the department, especially when one notes the time of the outbreak - at 7:30 on a Saturday evening, chances are good that many firefighters were otherwise occupied at the time of the call. On Monday morning, their efforts were even more commendable. Less than 36 hours later, in windy, cold conditions and using turnout gear that hadn’t had time to be properly cleaned or dried out following the Saturday fire, the volunteers were still effective in controlling the blaze to a single building, in a scenario that could have seen a portion of the downtown core completely destroyed. It has been a very difficult couple of months for the Keremeos fire department, with respect to the number of serious fires they have attended since the end of November last year. Perhaps residents of the Lower Similkameen need to put more effort into fire awareness, and take more precautions to ensure they aren’t the cause of more unnecessary structure fires. They owe it to the village and district’s firefighters, if for no other reason.

Check those Yellow Pages invoices By Tom Fletcherd Black Press Reports of scammers phoning businesses claiming to be collecting for Yellow Pages advertising have cropped up again in B.C., and there are simple steps to take to protect yourself. Mark Fernandes, spokesman for the Better Business Bureau in B.C., said scammers claiming to be collecting for Yellow Pages is a chronic problem, with complaints about it coming in almost every month. It’s a variation on an old trick, sending fake invoices for common business supplies such as printer cartridges and paper in hopes of sliding them by a busy office administrator. Fernandes said businesses are also concerned about bad credit reports from missed invoices.
“Unfortunately, a lot of these companies that claim the Yellow Pages brand are not located in North America,” he said. Some appeared to be coming from the United Kingdom, but the BBB is unable to confirm their real location. Yellow Pages Group spokesperson Fiona Story said the company is a frequent target for this kind of fraud because of its long-standing brand. It sponsors an annual fraud awareness campaign in March, and offers downloadable pamphlets and other resources on its website, www.yellowpages360solution.ca/resources/ fraud/. Customers who receive a questionable solicitation can check it by calling the Yellow Pages Group customer service department at 1-877-909-9356.
Yellow Pages Group won a lawsuit in 2012 against a copycat organization doing business as “Yellow Page Ontario,” “Yellow Page Quebec” and similar names. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice ordered the parent company to reimburse people who paid fake invoices and imposed punitive damages. For information on similar suspicious bills or phone calls from businesses other than Yellow Pages Group, contact the Better Business Bureau of Mainland B.C. (mainlandbc. bbb.org) or Vancouver Island (vi.bbb.org).

Nigel Davis, head of business banking for HSBC Bank Canada, told the CBC in a statement last week that it is focusing its business banking services on firms that “are now or aspire to become international businesses, benefiting from our global footprint and connectivity.” Davis’ name appears on letters notifying business customers they should withdraw all funds from their accounts within 60 days. Any funds still in the account at the stated deadline will be converted to bank drafts and mailed or couriered to the address on file with the bank.

Job well done
To the Editor: I would like to congratulate the Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department for a job well done on the two fires, in downtown Keremeos, this past weekend. Working at below zero weather and at night, the conditions could not have been much worse. I am quite sure all the firefighters went home after these fires, tired and probably wet, but with pride in what they have accomplished on these two fire scenes. The community should be most grateful having these dedicated firefighters working for our best interest. Firefighting has become much more complex and society is more demanding in their expectations of the fire service. Thanks to all of the firefighters! Yours in firefighting, Walter Despot, (40 years service) Keremeos

Nursing students support ban of flavoured tobacco products in B.C.
To the Editor: We are third year nursing students at UBC-Okanagan and are writing in regard to the growing amount of flavoured tobacco products available today. With National Non-Smoking Week upon us, we feel it is important to address this concern specifically because of the way these products are being marketed towards youth. When you hear the flavours cherry, pear, apple, chocolate, etc., tobacco products probably don’t immediately come to mind, but now-a-days these flavours and many more are available in a wide variety of tobacco products. Elaborate colourful packaging is used to make products much more enticing. With our research it’s become very clear to us just how obvious the tobacco industry gears the marketing of these products to youth. Flavours help to mask the taste of tobacco and to make smoking more appealing. Youth are more likely to try smoking if something tastes like, say, a candy
apple. Products are also available individually at a price for less than a toonie, so youth can easily afford them. Parental awareness is crucial, as many parents may not even recognize a tobacco product in their child’s bag, because they look so similar to makeup, markers and candy products. Research shows that smoking rates are decreasing which means the tobacco companies are losing money. So, to make up for losses they have invested billions of dollars in products to get youth hooked, as it is a well-known fact that young people are most likely to take up smoking, become addicted and then continue to smoke throughout adulthood. When the federal government’s Bill C-32 was passed in 2009, it made it illegal for tobacco products under the weight of 1.4gand with a filter to be flavoured. So what did the tobacco companies do? They simply increased the weight and removed the filter in some products to get around this law.
Statistics show that 61 per cent of all youth age 15-19 who smoke are using flavoured tobacco such as menthols, smokeless tobacco, or little cigars know as cigarillos. As nursing students this is extremely concerning. We see the devastating effects smoking has on people. Lung cancer alone causes more deaths than breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer combined as approximately 50 percent of those diagnosed with lung cancer will die from it. We comfort families whose loved one has just been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, and sit with the terrified patient who can’t breathe due to his loss of lung function from years of smoking. A large majority of the patients we care for, who have other serious health problems such as cardiac disease, stroke, and lung disease are or were previously smokers. Many of these health issues could potentially be prevented by quitting or by never having smoked in the first place.
We would like to see a ban on all flavoured tobacco products. Tobacco companies are targeting youth, capitalizing on their susceptibility to peer pressure, and using flavoured, dynamic products to make them more appealing and trendy. We feel our government has a responsibility to protect the health of our youth and ban these flavoured products. We know the truth; we see it and no matter what flavour it comes in, continued use of these products kills and causes serious health issues that consume exhausted health care dollars. We feel that if these flavoured, “starter” tobacco products were no longer available, youth would be less inclined to try them, thereby reducing risk of addiction and ultimately decreasing the rates of adult smokers and the harmful complications caused by long-term smoking. Heather deMedeiros and Katelyn Roberts, 3rd Year Nursing Students,UBC-Okanagan
Trudeau’s move to depoliticize senate is a worthy idea, says reader To the Editor: I’ve heard so much about this move on Justin Trudeau’s part regarding senate reform, and I’d like to give my opinion on this issue. I hear the government side saying that it means nothing and that all that happens is that the senators who are Liberal get to sleep in one day a week. That’s hardly the point. That one day a week is a caucus meeting where the senators get inside information from the party and that’s hardly at arm’s length.
Senators who are Liberal are no longer supposed to raise money for their party and that is a good thing. Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin were touted as the best fund-raisers for the Conservatives. They travelled all over the country (on our dollar) not for the good of the country but for the good of the Conservative Party. I’ve also heard commentators say that no other party has made a move on this issue. That is a falsehood. The NDP put forward a motion asking for the same thing – arm’s length from the
government – and Trudeau voted against it as did the Conservatives. Little mention is made that the NDP have never been in power federally and have no senators, so their hands are tied as far as actually doing anything. I think it’s a good first move on Justin Trudeau’s part and I’m looking forward to the next step – the abolition of an appointed senate that can strike down an environmental bill that was passed by the elected MPs. Sincerely, Donna Stocker, Cawston

Each class represented a country particpating in the 2014 games. Students placed their torches in an Olympic cauldron in response to hearing the country’s national anthem played during a PowerPoint presentation. “The students will be participating in a different Olympic event each day for the next seven school days, “ explained Cawston Primary Principal Linda Thiel. “The event will depend on what is being staged at the Olympics on a particular day.” Thiel said the students would be performing the event during their phys ed class. This is Cawston Primary’s second Olympics.

ife gets busy sometimes and spending time with loved ones can become difficult. Family Day, taking place Feb. 10, is the perfect reason to gather the family and take in some of British Columbia’s best attractions. Start with Big White Ski Resort, just outside of Kelowna. “There’s something for everyone here,” says Katie Balkwill, regional sales manager for Big White Ski Resort. “We’re Canada’s largest ski-in ski-out resort. Anywhere you wake up, you’ll be on the slopes, and the quality of our snow is amazing.” Black Press readers can enter to win a weekend for four (two adults and two children under 18) at Big White Ski Resort, with lift passes and two nights accommodation in a slopeside hotel room. For more information, visit the Keremeos Review website and click on the contests link (www.keremeosreview.com) . Big White is about more than skiing and snowboarding though. Balkwill also notes that they have an ice-climbing tower, fireworks every Saturday night over the huge outdoor skating rink and many other activities for the whole family. On Feb. 10, B.C. residents will be able to purchase a single-day lift ticket for 50 per cent off. If you’re looking for a weekend getaway, British Columbians can book any two consecutive nights and two days of skiing, and Big White will give you the third night and third day of skiing at half-price, valid between Feb. 7 and Feb. 13. The Lower Mainland is home to plenty of family-friendly outdoor spots, including Granville Island, numerous beaches and parks. If it’s indoor fun you’re looking for, attractions such as the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, the Museum of Vancouver, Science World at the Telus World of Science, the Vancouver Aquarium and the Vancouver Art Gallery should all be tops on your list. Outdoor activities are also plentiful in B.C. Capilano Suspension Bridge Park is one of Van-
couver’s most well-known attractions, with its famous suspension bridge, Treetops Adventure, Cliffwalk and other places to explore. The North Shore mountains all offer a variety of activities, including skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and tobogganing, or you can go a bit farther afield to visit Whistler Blackcomb. On B.C. Family Day, lift tickets at many participating ski areas will be offered to B.C. residents at 50 per cent off. For more information and the list of participating resorts, visit www.skicanada.org. B.C. has more than 850 parks and natural areas to hike in, including Vancouver Island’s West Coast Trail.

enjoy a trail ride at one of B.C.’s ranches, whether it’s a weekend trip in B.C.’s Interior or a day trip just outside of Metro Vancouver. In Northern B.C., climbing and caving can take place all year-round at one of the local mountain ranges. Guided tours are often available to show you some truly beautiful scenery, from glaciers to frozen waterfalls. Dog-sledding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are also great pursuits to try. The Southern and Northern Gulf Islands are just a ferry ride away from the mainland, and can open up a brand-new world of hiking, cycling and other outdoor activities.

One stop shop for health and social services Lower Similkameen Community Services Society has a lot to offer residents of Keremeos and the Similkameen
By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Keremeos and the Lower Similkameen have access to a number of social services, uniquely available under the umbrella of a single organization. The Lower Similkameen Community Services Society provides a “one stop shop” for a diverse range of social services, such as seniors and low cost housing programs, childrens and new parent programs, English as a Second Language, women’s, mental health and victims of violence counselling, to name but a few. “We have a broad mandate,” explained LSCSS Administrator Eileen Oliver - Bauer. “Over the years, if we have seen a gap in service to the community, we’ve tried to fill it. We are the only non-profit in the Lower Similkameen to offer these types of programs. Over the years we have continued to broaden our focus to serve the

Katherine Tomczuk is the LSCSS Coordinator for Gustavson House, a portion of the LSCSS office on Veterans Avenue containing kitchen and living room facilities. Tomczuk offers a drop in centre for clients with mental health issues. Every Wednesday afternoon a half dozen of her clients assemble to eat a healthy meal and socialize. “It provides some help to those in the community with chronic health issues who aren’t eating ,” Tomczuk explained, adding she enjoyed cooking, so always made sufficient quantities to allow her clients to take an extra meal home. Tomczuk also conducts “Art Connect,” a get together of seniors interested in art to which all are welcome.

Keremeos freestylers off to BC Games Skiing a family affair for the Todd family By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Kassidy and Maxwell Todd of Keremeos are on their way to the BC Winter Games to participate in the freestyle skiing category. The two Similkameen Elementary Secondary School students come from a family of ardent ski enthusiasts - indeed, the sport is a family affair, as Kassidy’s mom, Marnie, also skiis and only recently left for Sochi to provide therapeutic massage services to Canada’s Olympic freestyle skiers. Their father, Adam, snowboards and assists in the setting up of the many freestyle venues attended by the family during the ski season. Kassidy, 16, first strapped on skis at age three, and joined “Bumps and Jumps” a freestyle ski program for youngsters, at age seven. Maxwell, age 13, has been skiing since he was two. Both are members of the Apex Freestyle Club, specializing in moguls. It’s a competitive sport - Kassidy and Maxwell locked down qualifying spots in the BC Winter Games two weekends ago after finishing second in moguls, where Kassidy came in fourth in big air, and third in slopestyle events at the Apex Timbertown # 1 event. “I’ll be competing in the moguls, big air and slopestyle events in the juvenile (15-16 ) age category,” she said, “four of us qualified in the Okanagan.” Maxwell will also compete in similar disciplines. “I like performing the turns in moguls best,” he said. The two siblings demonstrate a devotion to the sport that is exemplary. They ski every weekend in the winter, and

Regional board discuss items of a federal nature with MP Albas By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Penticton MP Dan Albas appeared before the regional district Corporate Services Committee to field board concerns of a federal nature on January 23. The board discussed four topics with the federal member of parliament: medical marijuana, federal grant opportunities, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada Additions to reserve, and Canada Post reductions in service. Albas attempted to assauge the fears of the board over the prospect of medical marijuana facilities locating in the regional district. He said the applications for medical marijuana licenses are extensive, containing a number of hoops for applicants to jump through. “The program is designed to help a small number of people gain access to medical marijuana. There will always be an underground (market) element to it,” he said. Albas noted that a Supreme Court decision decreed that Canadian citizens have the right of access to medical marijuana, and the new program was an attempt to balance individual rights to access with those of public safety. “Regulation of these facilities should not be foisted on municipalities,” Albas said, noting the present system cost eight million dollars a year to regulate. Area “G” Director Angelique Wood asked what provisions were being made to ensure existing private grow ops were dismantled following the introduction of the new legislation on April 1. “After April 1, the criminal code applies to private grow ops,” Albas replied, “Most who use it are (basically) seeking access - those who grow in noncompliance will be doing so at their own peril.”
Albas told the directors their inclusion in the decision making process regarding the location of medical grow facilities was through their jurisdiction’s zoning laws. He admitted the system may prove imperfect, but could be changed should the need arise. Grant funding opportunities Albas also discussed grant funding opportunities with the committee. He told the board that gas tax funding had become a permanent funding means, indexed to inflation. He said that a new Building Canada Fund was being created with 53 billion dollars dedicated over 10 years to municipal infrastructure. With the addition of gas tax funding, there will be over 63 billion dollars worth of investment in infrastructure over the next 10 years. Albas said budget details were closely guarded secrets and would be revealed with upcoming budget announcements. AANDC Additions to reserve Keremeos Director Manfred Bauer asked Albas about new additions to reserve policy. He cited such things as lack of control, the expectation of negotiation in good faith with no veto power, and possible financial and zoning issues stemming from the new additions to reserve policy as problems faced by municipalities. “Are you planning on reacting to these concerns, or just listening to them?” he asked Albas. Albas explained the policy of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) was to seek public opinion, and had done that with respect to changes to additions to reserves, noting the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) had both made submissions on the subject. “If you have specific information, let me know,”
Albas said. Oliver Rural Director Allan Patton described a scenario where a developer or a native could buy a parcel of land, turn it over to an Indian band and bypass any existing land use regulation. “Then of course, the regional district or the municipality loses the tax revenue from it, then there’s the issue of competition in there. It’s a big concern.” Albas attempted to reassure Patton, stating that the AANDC had a number of land use policies and statutes that had to be adhered to that included the consideration of existing zoning, adding he had heard similar concerns from First Nations representatives as well. Canada Post cuts Albas stated that only 24 per cent of his riding constituents were affected by recent Canada Post service cuts that will see an end to door to door delivery of lettermail. He claimed to have heard little complaint about the changes. Area “G” Director Angelique Wood suggested the value of a postmaster in a small community was more than simply that of a mail deliverer. “Our postmaster in Hedley notices things like people not picking up their mail,” she said, adding the postmaster is one of the first to notice if one of the community’s elderly residents isn’t out and about as usual. “She notifies neighbours, and asks them to check on their fellow residents,” she told Albas. “It has resulted in people being found, fallen down, who couldn’t get up, and people who are hurt. “I know we talk about the cost of the service, but our post offices are doing much, much more than just taking care of the mail.” “This is an appeal - there’s more built in than we’re paying for than just a mail service.”

BROADCASTING SICKNESS & H5N1 - H1N1 By Alexis Costello, Kelowna BC
PART I
KEEPING CALM WHEN THE KIDS START TO SNIFFLE IN THE WORLD OF KILLER FLUS Mum with a sick child in her arms Fear is a big business and nothing makes parents more fearful than the thought that their child(ren) could be hurt. In our office, we have been fielding a lot of phone calls from distressed mothers in the past couple of weeks wondering about how to best protect their kids from H1N1/H5N1 flus that they are hearing about in the news. Some are concerned because their children are too young to get the flu shot; others would prefer to not vaccinate and are looking for an alternative solution. Whatever your decision when it comes to vaccinations, there are some things you can do to help your family stay healthy through this winter. First of all, please know that unless you have been travelling through Asia visiting farms it is incredibly unlikely that you have been exposed to H5N1. According to the US website flu.gov: “Human infection with H5N1 is rare. Most infections occurred after direct or close contact with poultry infected with H5N1. There is no evidence that this virus can spread easily between people.” As for the other flu strain making headlines, understand that the H1N1 flu strain has actually been a part of the flu shot repeatedly over the past few years since the 2009 outbreak. People are being told that even if they have gotten this flu or this immunization in the past they are not immune due to slight mutations of the virus. In my mind, this calls into question the efficacy of vaccinations in the first place, but whatever, the point is that you can’t necessarily count on previous exposure to make you immune. So what can we do? Part II in next weeks edition... Alexis’ Bio: Alexis Costello is a natural health practitioner specializing in applied kinesiology, Bach Flower Remedies, massage and herbology. Her ‘passion for plants’ brought her and her family to Costa Rica for six months of adventure studying herbs in the rainforest; learning everything she could from ‘curanderos’, medicine men, shaman and the local folk medicine.

February is Heart Month...a good time to familiarize ourselves with the warning signs of a heart attack. Many Canadians die from heart attacks each year because they don’t receive medical attention quickly enough.
SYMPTOMS FOR HEART ATTACK
The symptoms can include: sudden discomfort that doesn’t go away; pain in the chest, neck, jaw, shoulder, arms or back; pain that feels like burning, squeezing, heaviness, tightness or pressure; chest pain or discomfort brought on with exertion and goes away with rest. Other warning signs may be difficulty breathing, nausea, sweating and anxiety. Don’t take a chance with your life. Call 911. If you are experiencing symptoms like those listed above, stop all activity and sit or lie down in a comfortable position. If you are experiencing chest pain, chew and swallow one ASA 325 mg tablet (or two 80 mg tablets). Note that other pain pills like ibuprofen or acetaminophen will not help in this situation.
CPR
Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can save lives. It’s easy to learn and you never know when you might have to use it. There are always community courses available to teach people how to do CPR. If you haven’t already taken one, do so soon. It takes only a couple of hours and you could save a life. It’s important to be an advocate for your own health. Be an active learner about health matters especially about the drugs you take. We can help you with this information.

LSCSS / continued from page 12 ing Tips and Prenatal Nutrition and Support. “The programs offer resources, referrals and support for new families,” she said, noting that all the programs could be accessed on a drop in basis. Anda Brockhoff coordinates “Stopping the Violence,” a counselling program to help abused women regain control of their lives. “Anxiety is a big issue in our society,” Brockhoff said, “it’s mind-blowing how prevalent anxiety is-
news sues are - and little is understood about it.” Sarah Martin coordinates the LSCSS housing projects at both Mountain View Manor, and Tumbleweed Terrace. (Bev Wager coordinates Kyalami Place Assisted Living). The society manages Mountain View Manor and Tumbleweed Terrace, and works with BC Housing to place residents in Kyalami Place in the Similkameen Health Centre. The three housing facilities offer different levels of care to senior and handicapped residents, at a reasonable cost. The LSCSS
manages a total of 56 housing units. “We welcome people to come and request a tour,” Martin said, “many older residents don’t realize what is available to them in terms of choice of housing and care in the village.” Perhaps the title of one of the LSCSS’ pamphlets says it all - by asking the question, “How can we help you?”- because of the number of services offered, the best way to find out is to give them a call at 250-499-2352 .

First joint council meeting results in letter to premier By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The first joint council meeting held between the regional district and three regional Indian bands took place on January 31. Concerns about
Fortis electrical power rates and Fortis’ proposal to build a dam on the Similkameen River west of Princeton resulted in the joint council agreeing to send a letter to the premier. The letter also ex-
pressed joint council’s concerns about the British Columbia Utilities Commission’s reaction to a report on Fortis’ two tiered rate system, and the lack of response from Fortis for consultation and referral.
joint council also expresses that “heat and electricity have become a luxury in British Columbia.” Joint council was initiated last year after the regional district and three Indian Bands - the Lower Similka-
meen, Osoyoos and Penticton Indian Band - signed the Protocol Agreement in an effort to share information, increase communication, education and cooperation among the agreement’s members.
