Cheryl Decker receives acknowledgement for 20 years of service as postmaster at Keremeos Post Office on March 20 from Supervisor Darren Smith. Her last day at the post office was filled with well wishers dropping by to wish her a happy retirement.
Postmaster retires after 20 years in Keremeos By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Five months shy of 20 years at the helm of the Keremeos Post Office, Cheryl Decker worked her last day as postmaster on March 20. Last Thursday saw dozens of Decker’s customer come by the post office to wish her well, bringing flowers, treats and thanks for her two decades of service. “I don’t think it’s really hit me yet,” she said early Thursday afternoon when asked how it felt to be working her last day. “I’ve gotten to know a lot of people over the years. Keremeos has certainly gotten bigger over the years - when I first arrived here, I knew everyone. That’s not the case anymore.” When Cheryl first arrived in Keremeos, via Kelowna, in 1994, their was speculation in town
that the Keremeos post office might be one of several post offices being closed across the country at the time. Her arrival in the village as replacement to then retiring postmaster Barb Copeland was a sign to residents that Canada Post was committed to keeping Keremeos open. Cheryl retires from Keremeos after a 43 year career with Canada Post. Prior to Keremeos, she worked in Westbank and Peachland. Cheryl remembers the switch to community mailboxes in 2007 amongst the most significant events taking place during her tenure in Keremeos. “It was very different, a new concept,” she recalled. Cheryl has no major retirement plans on the immediate horizon, saying she is content just to spend some time at home for awhile. She and husband Rick reside on a six acre parcel of land in Cawston.
“I’m looking forward to spending time with my granddaughter,” she said, “and in the garden.” “I’d like to thank the community for making my work here such a pleasure,” Cheryl said, “I appreciate each and every one of our customers, and all the staff. “A big part of this job is working with people. I enjoy that aspect of it, so the job was always a good fit for me.” Customers cycled through the post office throughout Thursday, wishing Cheryl the best. She also received a visit from Darren Smith, Canada Post Local Area Supervisor for South Okanagan - Similkameen, who presented Cheryl with a parting gift in the form of a framed Canada Post commemorative stamp depicting a grizzly bear, along with a placque. “The community has been well served by Cheryl,” he said.

IT’S IMPORTANT TO MASSAGE OUT THOSE KNOTS! Doctors who specialize in pain treatment suggest that trigger points, which are small contraction knots in the muscles of the body, are the primary cause for about 75 percent of chronic pain cases. They further report finding trigger points in virtually every patient they treat. Trigger points can refer pain to other parts of the body and can therefore be difficult to locate and treat. A treatment with a trained Massage practitioner, who knows what to look for, can be the answer to your muscle pain. They can help you find the source of the pain, treat it, and teach you how to further treat it at home. Voila! The muscle pain will disappear and you can become active once more. Massage therapy as an industry has come a long way! Instead of using just the traditional Swedish massage, most practitioners now have learned special techniques to work with different populations such as infants, athletes, farm workers, office workers, pregnant women and seniors. Seniors are now indicating they view massage therapy as a vital part of staying healthy and active. Proper geriatric massage also helps strengthen muscles weakened by disuse, for example after hip or knee surgery. Massage is a non-invasive, enjoyable way to help alleviate the symptoms of many diseases and discomforts. Overall, it can greatly improve one’s quality of life. Massage doesn’t just ease muscle and joint pain; it also reduces stress by improving blood circulation, length and quality of sleep and overall wellbeing. When the therapist uses proper bodywork techniques on a client it is impossible to do damage–which is much more comforting than what all those warning labels say on medication containers.
HEART BENEFITS OF EXERCISE
It’s revealing to put a number on the heart benefits of exercising. There was a “study of studies” done recently on the amount of exercise needed to benefit the heart. That number is 150 minutes per weeek. This resulted in a 15% reduction in heart attacks. Couch potatoes who started to exercise benefitted most. It’s important to check with your doctor before starting an exercise program.
BREASTFEEDING AND OBESITY
Breastfeeding a newborn infant has many positive effects on the baby and the mother. One new idea being investigated is that breastfed babies have less of a chance of becoming obese. The link between obesity and breastfeeding isn’t totally proven but it may be another incentive to breastfeed for at least 6 months.
MAKE YOUR FEET HAPPY :)
Nine out of ten foot operations are performed on women. The cause of the foot problems is primarily the type of shoes women wear. These foot problems include bunions, hammertoes and neuromas (swelling of a foot nerve due to tight-fitting shoes). Sometimes, just changing to a roomier shoe will relieve the discomfort. It may be hard to choose between comfort and style but your feet will be happy.

Clean ups begin on fire ravaged downtown properties By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com A work crew from Total Restoration has been busy at the Riverbed Bistro since Friday, March 14, working to restore the Keremeos business following a devastating fire on February 1. Dale Senger, foreman of the five man crew at work on the site, said March 20 that his crew was gutting the upper floor, basically stripping it to its interior framing. “The drywall has been wet for over a month,” he said, “so it’s all coming out, walls and ceilings.” Some damage also occurred to the roof, the apex of which was covered by a blue tarpaulin. Senger said his crew had a big job ahead of them. “We spent the first few days just moving stuff,” he said, “we’ll likely be here through next week.” He said tradesmen would be arriving later in the week in the hope that a tem-
porary electric service can be installed. Senger said after his team has completed their work, the whole building will have to be inspected before services can be reactivated. The building’s appliances will also have to pass inspection prior to returning to service. Once the restoration crew’s work is done, Senger will return to the building in order to apply a chemical designed to displace the odour of smoke. He said residents shouldn’t worry if they see something that looks like smoke emanating from the building next week - that will be him applying the chemical. The Riverbed Bistro suffered severe fire damage to its upper floor and water damage in the restaurant after a fire on Saturday, February 1. A subsequent police investigation deemed the fire as arson. It is not yet known whether the restaurant will be operational this summer.

Asbestos material slows work on 7th Ave site By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Jason of Sunrise Restorations donned protective gear Monday morning prior to beginning clean up operations on the property that most recently housed The Paw Spa. The building, which burned in the early morning hours of February 3, contained construction materials containing asbestos. Due to health regulations introduced three years ago, elaborate precautions must now be undertaken by contractors dealing with asbestos-containing building materials. Worksafe BC has prepared a safe work procedures booklet for handling asbestos that contains 128 pages. Jason prepared himself by dressing
in white coveralls, duct taped at the arms and legs. He also used an air supplied breathing mask.

School board district 53 trustees turn down request for two pro-d days in exchange for longer school days By Marieze Tarr School District 53 Chair The board reviewed all the feedback from our partner groups with regards to moving two ProD days from August back into the calendar bookends and although the board understands and supports the
rationale and the importance of professional development for our teachers, we feel that we cannot implement the request at this time. As trustees elected by our communities we value feedback from our communities and partner groups and we heard that they are not comfort-
able with the loss of two additional school days in lieu of four minutes extra on other school days. They are also concerned about the cost of extra daycare and the timing after the introduction of Team Inquiry Model (TIM time) last year. The board will be exploring all op-
tions with our partner groups in the coming year. Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback to the board. We are very proud of all of our students who participated in the SkillsBC Okanagan Regional event that took place on the Okanagan College campus in Kelowna.
Our students placed first in every event we entered apart from the Culinary Arts where we had to compete with students from Okanagan College. Congratulations to Dalton Rose (OSS), Jagdeep Sumal (SESS), Zac Beaudoin (OSS), Foster Kane (SOSS), Cowan Kye (OSS), Brody
Porter and Parmeet Brar (SESS) who all placed first in their events and who will now be competing in the Provincial Skills Canada contest in Abbotsford on April 9,. Good Luck to all of you. We are excited to announce that our Cawston Primary Preschool will open on April 1. We now
have preschools in every one of our elementary schools and we know that this is a very valuable service to our parents and to the development of our students. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me (Marieze Tarr) at mtarr@sd53.bc.ca or 250-498-1333.

Publisher: Don Kendall 605 7th Avenue, Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial High priced relief A routine capital works project for the Village of Keremeos appears to be turning into a Nightmare on Seventh and Twelfth Avenues. The village last year resolved to knock down the two municipal park washrooms and replace them with new, expanded buildings. Delays in receiving tenders and staffing shortfalls last year resulted in the projects being shelved until this year. It was also thought that tendering both buildings at the same time would attract more interest in the tenders, as well as a better price. Village staff and council were hit with sticker shock at last week’s council meeting, where final details of the projects’ tendered bids came to light. The washroom project was budgeted based on numbers recommended by the village’s engineering firm. It turned out the numbers were woefully inadequate, with bids coming in at more than twice the budgeted amount. Staff had to resharpen their pencils and take on some of the project’s construction workload to make the budget work. What is disconcerting to staff and council - and will be to taxpaying residents, we assume - are the amounts involved in the bids submitted. Two concrete, cinder block buildings with minimum finishing, built to modern environmental specifications, are going to cost village taxpayers $200 per square foot for Memorial Park and $341 per square foot in Pine Park. And no, the plans do not specify gold plated toilets, or diamond encrusted taps in either case. No one in the village office - elected or otherwise - can say definitively why the costs appear to be so high. “This is the reality,” council was told by staff during discussions. The bids tendered were described as consistent, all coming in much higher than the cost estimates given the village by their engineers. Construction is slated to begin next week, and we say for all involved, the sooner the better. The way this project has gone, especially budget-wise, village taxpayers will only be able to afford porta potties should anything else go wrong.

Opposition grows to new B.C. packaging and recycling policy By Laura Jones Canadian Federation of Independent Business Last month Environment Minister Mary Polak announced what seemed like good news: small businesses would be “exempted” from the province’s onerous new packaging and printed paper regulation coming into force this May. Unfortunately, it looks like the real news for small business isn’t quite so good — many are not actually exempted and some will not survive. The new recycling policy fundamentally changes the current bluebox program. Instead of being run by local municipalities, the B.C. government has given control over the blue-box program to an unelected body called Multi Material B.C., governed by multinational corporations out of Toronto. If this has you scratching your head and wondering what was wrong with
the existing blue-box program, you are not alone. Opposition to Polak’s plan is growing. Last week, a coalition of B.C-based businesses representing agriculture, newspapers, landscaping, manufacturing, retail, wholesale, food, and waste collection sectors held a press conference to announce a #RethinkItBC campaign to fight the new rules. If small businesses really were “exempt” why would so many of them band together against this new policy? Minister Polak did put in place some compliance thresholds around gross revenue, packaging volumes and number of locations. The problem with her approach is that the thresholds are too low and in some cases don’t apply at all. The bottom line is that too many small businesses are still being hurt by a policy that adds a lot of cost and bureaucracy
for no environmental benefit. For example, under the new rules franchises are not exempt. Several pizza franchisees have reported to us they will be paying between $200 and $400 a week in taxes to MMBC. Pizza joints don’t have fat margins and paying for this might mean selling another 100 pizzas a week — or passing those costs on to customers. Some small businesses are being bullied into compliance by big corporations. Several major grocery stores have sent letters to suppliers saying they will only do business with firms that are MMBC compliant regardless of whether they fall under Polak’s exemption. One went as far threatening to withhold partial payment as a fine for lack of MMBC compliance. These same supermarkets will not accept any price increases associated with compliance — small business

has to eat the cost. In small towns, community newspapers and local recycling depots are at risk of going out of business thanks to the new policy. B.C’s newspaper industry is facing $14 million of additional taxes. They will be paying 4,762 per cent (that’s not a typo) more per kilogram of waste than the equivalent program in Ontario. How many job losses that translates into has yet to be seen. That it is at odds with the government’s stated “strong economy, secure tomorrow” agenda is crystal clear. The only good news in this mess is that it is never too late to reverse course on bad policy. Premier Clark has shown she has the courage to admit mistakes and change course where necessary. It’s necessary now. The new recycling rules don’t work for small business or the communities they support.

Informal gathering provides healthy exchange of views To the Editor: Today, a group of neighbours held a “Coffee and Chat” event with our present MP Alex Atamanenko . It was a friendly gathering. The neighbours were representatives of other political groups. Mr. Atamanenko, currently serving on the standing committee for agriculture and agri-food, was alble to answer questons on G.M.O. seeds, plants, and tree fruit varieties; particularly, the new apple variety. This variety, developed locally by genetic modification, does not turn brown when cut. Presently accepted for public use and for sale also on the market, are genetically modified corn, soy and sugar beet seeds. The genetic modification by alfalfa, by Monsanto, is being vigourously fought. Many people do not appreciate or want G.M.O. products. It is wise to be aware of these changing items. Apparent geo-engineering to cause weather modification was suggested by one neighbour. He felt that these white streaks that appear suddenly in a bright, blue sky, on a beautiful and sunny day, were “chem trails” and were showering us with heavy metals such as aluminum. The discussion
that followed questioned the possibility of this strange activity, which may be the cause of the acidification of the sea and land. We are seeing a mass die-off of sea creatures on the B.C. coast. Of course, Monsanto is forecasting the development of aluminum resistant seeds and plants. Again, all of these potentially dangerous events take place without input or permission from the public. We discussed how free trade did not benefit our farmers, but it certainly helps farmers in other countries. Many producers are subsidized in other countries. Because Canada has free trade agreements with those countries, their subsidized products appear for sale in our stores and in the open market at a cheaper price than our products. Our farmers and manufacturers find it financially difficult to compete. This little meeting allowed our small group of constituents to meet with our federal minister of Parliament in a wonderful environment, enjoying good, commonsense conversation of ideas and information. A wonderful experience for all. Try it - you might like it! Flo Winfrey, Olalla

bre firearms. When the targets they shoot at are further than the houses of neighbouring properties, that’s the problem. Small calibre rifles are tolerable, but when members shoot rifles that are large enough to blow the head off any animal known to man it is a bit ridiculous. Why should people who own property, pay taxes (unlike the KCSA who are exempt from taxes for some reason) have to put up with this constant disturbance from a group of people who think they have the right to do so. What about the rights of residents who live and work here, who deserve to be able to enjoy the solitude of this beautiful valley. I don’t argue the fact that KCSA members should be able to shoot firearms in a safe and controlled environment. What I do argue is, it does not belong where people reside and have to put up with the constant, unbearable gunshot noise. Jim Bauer, Cawston

When we found out, my only wish was to change places with Paige and allow her a childhood shielded from the realities of surgeries, chemo, radiation and countless pokes from needles. Her treatment took us from Saskatoon to Ottawa to Penticton to Vancouver. Fifteen years later, she is poised to graduate from high school in BC’s Southern Interior and begin the next chapter of her life in university, albeit with the physical and emotional scars of someone that has truly been to battle.

Sounds of spring interupted by friendly fire
To the Editor: The first Sunday of spring in the Similkameen doesn’t get any better than this! The sun is out, temperatures are warming, makes for a great day. People look forward to getting outside and into their yards to do spring clean-up. Also to enjoying the sounds of spring after the long dark days of winter. Unfortunately, if you happen to live and work anywhere near the Keremeos Cawston Sportsman Associations Club House, the sounds of spring are shattered by the sounds of gun shots. Not just a few shots, but shot after shot for hours. How considerate of their club to allow this to happen any day of the week and any day of the year. Funny thing is they don’t ever show up on a cold windy, rainy day. When the KCSA approached land owners in the early 80’s they neglected to mention they would continue to expand the shooting range to accommodate larger cali-

Highly successful Saturday clean up at Kobau Park By Steve Arstad
Volunteers turned out to Kobau Park in force on the weekend, making short work out of a big seasonal clean up job at the popular baseball park.
Upwards of 30 people were engaged under cloudy and cool, but dry conditions during this year’s Saturday, March 22 effort. New dirt was spread on the baseball infields, leaves
raked and binned and a number of park improvements done within a four hour timeframe spanning Saturday morning and afternoon. New goal posts for a soccer field were installed, picnic tables
sanded and stained, and new plaques for the park’s memorial trees were installed to replace existing wooden posts. Work on the infield for the park’s second baseball field was started as well.
Marie Marven refinishes a picnic table during the Saturday, March 23 clean up at Kobau Park.
“A big thanks to everyone who came out,” said clean up crew spokeperson Marie Marven. “It was also nice to see some community members coming out for the first time as well.”

The BC Government is now off-loading our recycling decisions to Toronto.
Under its new regulations, the BC Government has set up an association led by big corporations to take over the local Blue Box recycling program throughout BC. If you look closely, you’ll see that of seven board members, six are executives of Toronto-based multi-national corporations, with the seventh weighing in from Montreal. How do you like that, British Columbia? This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose first responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profits. That can’t be a good thing for BC. The most perplexing thing is that we currently have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, and costs BC homeowners just
$35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its first priority, nor does it guarantee that there won’t be job losses here in BC. It doesn’t guarantee service levels, or say anything about how big business will pass along the costs to you when you go to pick up a pizza or buy groceries. Yikes! Perhaps this is why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to sign onto the new program, calling it a “scam.” Given that, maybe it’s time you called Premier Clark to keep BC’s environmental decisions right here in BC where they belong.
What’s going on here?

community Celia Brouwers grade six students performed live experiments with “landing modules” in their science class while studying space exploration on March 14. Students tested their landing craft from the mezanine of the carpentry shop on the Friday prior to spring break. Using eggs encased in an assortment of household materials - plastic grocery bags, egg cartons, foam, paper plates, balloons and foil wrap, the students dropped their craft creations from the mezanine. Those whose eggs remained intact were given full points. For the most part, the students’ 10 partnered experiments were successful, but there were a few that ended up with, well, not so eggcellent results.

Local tax processor warns of fraud campaign Contributed
Teresa deWit of H & R Block in Keremeos is warning residents of a telephone and mail scam making the rounds in the area. A person will call or mail and say they are from the Canadian Reve-
nue Agency (CRA). They will say they have reassessed your income tax return and you now owe money. The CRA never contacts people this way. The fraudulent party will ask for social insurance numbers and drivers license
numbers. Do not give out this information, as the CRA already has your S.I.N. number on file. The fraudulent party will also try to make you go out and purchase “pay power” Visa cards. They may also say that you
could be jailed for failing to comply. “All of this is a fraud,” deWit said, “contact us if you receive one of these calls or emails.” More information can be found at: www. antifraudcentre-centreantifraud.ca
