Similkameen Elementary Secondary School Vice Principal Scott Tremblay braces as student Katie Frasch releases a balloon filled with “messy things” over his head during an assembly honouring senior academic and athletic achievers on March 3. The meeting also served as a rally for two SESS basketball squads bound for the provincials this week. Principal Cate Turner (far left, already targetted in a previous “hit” ) and Alyssa Wait attempt to dodge the fallout, while Nina Ruck (centre) looks on.
Assembly recognizes academic, athletic achievements By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Senior students at Similkameen Elementary Secondary School were honoured at an academic achievement / pep rally assembly held at the school’s senior gym on Monday, March 3. Sixty-five students were named to the Principal’s List, and even more succeeded in being named to the Vice- Principal’s list. The senior boys and girls basketball teams were also acknowledged for attaining a berth at the provincials, taking place later this week. The girls make their way to Lumby on Wednesday, while the boys travel to Langley.
Both teams were introduced to the student body and provided brief demonstrations of their basketball court talents before a number of members of the Prinicipal’s List has their names selected from a hat. The lucky winners were then given an opportunity to pop a balloon filled with an unpleasant substance - anything from chocolate syrup, talcum powder, ketchup, mustard, raw eggs, flour - one gets the picture - over the head of their favourite (possibly otherwise!) teacher. The result was some messy, smelly fun for everyone as the school wished their high ranking sports team well in the upcoming tournaments.
Similkameen Elementary Secondary School basketball teams did well this year. They are currently ranked as follows: Grade eight boys - Top six in the valleys. Grad nine girls - Second overall in the valleys. Junior boys - Top four in the zone, including AA and AAA schools. Junior girls - First in the zone and fourth in the valleys, including AA, AAA, and AAAA schools. Senior boys - Third in the valleys in addition to having a berth in the provincials March 4 - 8. Senior girls - Third in the valleys as well as having a berth in the provincials, March 4 - 8.

Fitness is the main event at this Keremeos business By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Main Event Boxing and MMA studio couldn’t have set up shop in Keremeos at a more opportune time. “Fitness is the message,” said owners “Coach” Rob Pelletier and Donna Davies. The new business is sure to complement “healthy community” initiatives currently being developed by the village, the regional district and Interior Health. “There isn’t a lot in the way of fitness facilities in the area,” Coach Rob continues, “people use the rec centre, or have their own fitness machines at home, but they lack a ‘fitness atmosphere’ - something we can provide.” The two feel they have the formula to make bring fitness to every resident of Keremeos, young or old. “Home programs and exercise routines eventually fail for most people because inspiration is lacking. They’ll listen to a DVD for a few weeks, lose their motivation, and their exercise equipment becomes a very expensive clothes hanger.” Rob and Donna have put together a weekly schedule that provides instruction and workout time for every age category. Donna’s Pilates class, for instance, has an 82 year old resident who faithfully attends the sessions. “Women of all ages really embrace the programs,” Donna said, “We’ve been really blessed with the “Gentle Fitness” classes allow just about everyone the opportunity to participate in fitness routines at Main Event. One of Donna’s pilates classes has an 81 year old participant attending regular classes.

The Review
Publisher: Don Kendall 605 7th Ave, Keremeos Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial Business venture well suited to public health initiatives “Coach” Rob and Donna Pelletier’s arrival in Keremeos was nicely timed to coincide with the village, regional district and Interior Health initiative to build healthy communities in the region. The Main Event Boxing and MMA Studio provides Lower Similkameen residents with a unique opportunity to get fit - one that they probably wouldn’t have similar opportunities for in a bigger city. The Pelletiers have some unique selling points to their downtown gym - they both have skill sets in fitness methods and coaching as well as having the ability to provide one on one advice and training. The Main Event facility is comfortable and intimate, the proprietors genuinely interested in “getting Keremeos in shape,”catering to the full spectrum of the village’s population. Patrons have easy access to both Coach Rob and Donna, who are always nearby. Helpful fitness advice is always available. Their business provides little extras that might mean all the difference to someone aiming for a healthier lifestyle, but lacking the knowledge or motivation to pursue their goal for the length of time it takes to make an exercise routine a regular habit. The studio is not only a great addition to the business community in Keremeos, it appears to fit in nicely with current local and regional policies designed to improve the health of Lower Similkameen residents. We hope these facts aren’t lost on those involved in the Healthy Community initiative, as there may be opportunities - from a business and a social perspective - that could prove mutually beneficial to all, through collaborative efforts to promote regional fitness.

THE
Crown jewel on table in Cariboo By Tom Fletcher Black Press The New Prosperity mineral deposit near Williams Lake is described by the industry as one of the largest in the world, containing 5.3 billion pounds of copper and 13.3 million ounces of gold. The Harper government’s decision to reject open-pit mine development for a second time is seen by elected officials in the Cariboo region as a disaster. One of Quesnel’s sawmills is preparing to close for good, and I’ve been told there is more to come as the postpine beetle era unfolds. Here in the B.C. capital, the decision is mainly viewed as a huge mistake. Taseko Mines is going to court to show that the federal panel used the wrong design when reviewing the company’s expensively revised plan. The province has permitted two successful mines that operate in the same area, one of which is run by Taseko. In Ottawa, this is a Su-
preme Court of Canada test case over who owns the land and the mineral wealth underneath. In traditional Canadian law, the province owns it. This was highlighted in the recent discussion between B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Alberta’s Alison Redford over royalties from oil. Six aboriginal communities make up the Tsilhqot’in Nation, which has a long and bitter history of resistance against the Crown. They almost won a declaration of title to 40,000 hectares known as the Nemiah Valley: forests, wild horses, minerals and all, in a 339day trial that ended in 2007. Their case suffered a setback at the B.C. Court of Appeal, and is now before the highest court. Aboriginal rights have been established, but this would be the first clear title. Tsilhqot’in tribal chair Joe Alphonse was pleasantly surprised to see Taseko turned down again. He said the Tsilhqot’in National Government is releasing its
own mining policies soon. “We welcome opportunities to look at projects that are environmentally sound and we need economic opportunities,” Alphonse told the Williams Lake Tribune. Somehow efforts to move mine waste rock from Teztan Biny (Fish Lake) to a sealed storage site two kilometres away are not enough to protect groundwater, although they are sufficient at the nearby Gibraltar and Mount Polley mines. And Alphonse makes it clear this mysterious environmental problem will be solved once he and his fellow chiefs have control of the resource. A Supreme Court of Canada ruling on aboriginal title is required to settle this. If some limited form of title is at last defined for the treaty-less majority of B.C., or at least Tsilhqot’in territory, the fate of the mine may become clear. Conventional wisdom on this is that the mining company didn’t try hard enough to establish a working relationship with the

Tsilhqot’in. For his part, Taseko CEO Russell Hallbauer says the chiefs refused to meet with him, which isn’t surprising from a group that doesn’t recognize the B.C. forests ministry either. Here’s a sample of the volume of evidence that may determine the future of B.C. Archeological studies presented at trial describe “18 roasting and/or pit depressions” at Teztan Biny. It’s not clear if these were for seasonal food preparation or for pit houses, which would indicate a more permanent settlement at the lake. Nor is it clear whether these “cultural depressions” have been identified as being of Tsilhqot’in origin. Oral histories are also uncertain. Tsilhqot’in witnesses testified that Teztan Biny has been used in the 20th century as a hunting and fishing camp. The mine was rejected due to ill-defined cultural as well as environmental concerns. B.C. residents could finally see some answers this year.

Zoning Amendment Electoral Area ‘D’ – 716 Mosley Place
Local elections reform to include four-year terms By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The B.C. government announced their intention to introduce legislation during the current legislative session to change local elections from a three-year to a four-year cycle beginning with the 2014 elections, Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes announced on Ferbruary 25. The move is subject to legislative approval. If it passes, the next B.C. local elections after November, 2014 will be in October, 2018. “There are pros and cons to the change,” admitted Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer, who said the change won’t affect his decision as to whether to run or not. “It should result in reduced costs for elections, and more continuity in terms of politicians being able to see projects through during their term of office,” he added. Bauer speculated that the change in

term may result in fewer people stepping forward to put their names on the ballot because of the additional time commitment. “Will it result in the possiblity of more byelections as people find themselves unable to serve their whole term?” he wondered, “I haven’t seen any stats from other provinces regarding that.” The extended term of office will apply to B.C.’s mayors and all elected officials serving municipalities, regional districts, parks boards, school boards and the Islands Trust. Moving to four-year terms was recommended by the Local Government Elections Task Force. Last year, the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) passed a resolution supporting extension of the term of office for elected local government officials from three to four years. The BC School Trustees Association also supports the change. All other Canadian provinces hold local government elections every four years.

Wilf Miller recalls the day he started a rock slide of his own
To the Editor: I am now going on to my 93rd birthday, so this story originates approximately 75 years ago. We were young and foolish then, and there was quite a large group of us mountain climbing above Summerland. On Easter morning, about a mile up on a steep grade was this huge rock of many tons, just teetering. Could we push it off ? Well, we got sticks and prys and worked like slaves and finally got this rock loose. It started down the slope, picking up speed, at times flying
through the air. Then it got to a flat spot and slowed down until it got to the highway and stopped. We were just breathing a sigh of relief and the blame thing made one more flip and landed in the middle of the highway. Luckily enough, there were no cars there. My advice to you young folks today Don’t roll rocks down mountains. You have no idea where they are going to wind up. Wilf Miller, Keremeos
Okanagan Regional Library Board Highlights Board Elections As per the Library Act, elections were held for key positions on the Okanagan Regional Library board. The following have been elected for the 2014 term: Catherine Lord - Chair Maria Besso - Vice Chair Lori Mindnich - Finance Committee Chair Marilyn Harkness - Personnel Committee Chair Maria Besso - Policy and Planning Committee Chair
New Integrated Library System The board received a report from the Integrated Library System Committee about the process of selection of a new vendor to provide an integrated library system. The successful vendor was Polaris. The committee based their decision on a number of factors including usability by the public, efficiency for staff and cost. Phase two, which includes a training component for staff and transition from the former system, will begin over the next months.
School district 53: Similkameen Elementary Secondary School update By Marieze Tarr Chair, School District 53 The board is awaiting feedback on the proposal for moving two pro-d days from August to be included within the calendar bookends, September 1 to June 30. We will be going through all of the calendar consultation responses and feedback after the response deadline and then having a discussion at our regular board meeting on March 12 at which time we will make our final decision. Pink Shirt Day was celebrated in all of our schools on February 26. This event is sponsored by the Boys and Girls Club and most schools were tinged pink as people are asked to wear pink on this day to make a statement against bullying. We are happy to announce that our district was successful in its grant application to the Construction Foundation of BC. We are unsure at this time how much the grant will be as the foundation is beginning to raise funds for this purpose. Funds from the foundation will be used to upgrade our shop classes in the district and to hopefully entice more students to pursue a career in the trades. Our second YES-2-IT Trades Exploration Day was a great success. This year the handson program for grades six and seven students focused on the culinary industry. We received a $4,000 grant from the Industry Training Association to support this. A video of this day is available at http://youtu.be/Os100yjiY7g. We would like to thank Boyd Turnbull for coordinating the event as well as all of our other teachers and administrators who worked behind the scenes to make this day happen. This event could not happen without the tradespeople and businesses who volunteered their time. A big thank you to Nicola Haamers, Theo Walta, Randy Watson and Cody Winser from Valu Plus in Keremeos.
At the regular meeting, the board also approved the grad trips for all three of our high schools. Students from SOSS and SESS will travel to Silverwood, Idaho on June 26 and 27. Please mark your calendars for May 28. On this day we will host an inquiry sharing day at the Watermark Hotel in Osoyoos from 1 to 7 p.m. At this event schools from around the district will showcase their inquiry questions, where they are going with their learning, how they are getting there and where they are going to next. We invite all of our parents, community members, and education partners to drop in anytime from 1 to 7 p.m. to see what is going on around the district, and ask questions. More information will be forthcoming. Please contact your school principal for more information. The BCSTA Stability for Students Action Plan was also discussed. The goal of this plan is to ensure immediate and long-term stability in the provision of educational programs for students in B.C.’s public education system. Our board is hopeful that student success will not be compromised during or after the resolution of the BC Supreme Court ruling between the Province of B.C. and the BC Teacher’s Federation. We hope that resolution of class size and composition matters occurs at the provincial bargaining table and that when changes to class size and composition are required whether through negotiation, legislation or court ruling, they be phased in so as to minimize disruption to students. We are also urging the ministry that any costs related to changes in class size and composition be fully funded by the provincial government with no negative impact on current funding levels. Should you have any questions, please contact me at 250-498-1333.

Similkameen elementary students give the boot to bullying By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Elementary students at Similkameen Elementary Secondary School gathered in the school’s elementary gym to support and encourage anti bullying strategies on Wednesday, February 26. Capably led by members of the school’s leadership class, the students were encouraged to imagine themselves as regular recipients of a bullying campaign.
The assembly then focussed on what constituted bullying, also providing instruction regarding how to deal with instances of it. The heart of the message came with acknowledgement that bullying can rise from innocent circumstances from students who simply aren’t thinking of the consequences of their actions. Leadership student Tina Schaefer talked about the challenges of getting through school and adolescence.
“We’re all faced with so many changes during these years, so what is there to gain by making things harder through bullying?” she asked her audience. Leadership student Lloyd Carleton also offered helpful advice for students experiencing bullying. He pointed out a number of different avenues a student could follow at SESS for assistance, including enlisting the aid of other designated students, telling adults, or standing up for oneself. Vice Principal Tremblay fell victim to several students, including this milk attack by Sascha Zebroff.

Public information meetings planned for Similkameen dam proposal By Steve Arstad
“There really isn’t anything new,” Ruth Sulentich, Community and Aboriginal Relations Manager for Fortis Inc., said earlier this week regarding further progress on Fortis’ Simlkameen dam pro-
posal. Fortis received an investgative permit from the province recently, which allows them to further explore the possibility of constructing a 165 metre high dam on the Similkameen River approximately
15 kilometres west of Princeton. The permit was issued after controversy last summer following a series of ads that ran in local papers mistakenly referring to the investigative permit as a “Disposition of Crown
Land.” Fortis’ investigative permit will allow Fortis to explore the projects’ economic and environmental impacts, and is valid for the next five years. Sulentech said Fortis is now in the process of
arranging for several open houses in Similkameen communities, in addition to scheduling meetings with local officials and the Joint Committee to discuss the project more fully. She said the investigative process is expected
to take up to two and a half years, and expects the public information sessions to begin in late spring or early summer. Several Similkameen politicians have expressed the need for more information on the project. Similka-
meen Valley Planning Society Chair Manfred Bauer said the society recently wrote Fortis Project Manager Doyle Sam, inviting him to the next SVPS meeting on March 26 to update members on the proposal.

TOP 10 HEALTH BENEFITS OF EATING KALE By Alison Lewis Kale
Kale is being called “the new beef ”, “the queen of greens” and “a nutritional powerhouse.” Here are ten great benefits of adding more kale to your diet: 1. Kale is low in calorie, high in fiber and has zero fat. One cup of kale has only 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber and 0 grams of fat. It is great for aiding in digestion and elimination with its great fiber content. It’s also filled with so many nutrients, vitamins, folate and magnesium as well as those listed below. 2.
