Busy spring weekend for Keremeos firefighters By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Provincial proclamation See page 4
Police, Keremeos and District Volunteer firefighters and BC Ambulance crews responded to a single vehicle accident on Highway 3A just south of Olalla on Monday, April 14. The accident occurred at approximately 8:20 a.m. A late model GM pickup left the road and rolled over, ending up on its roof in the ditch on the west side of the highway. The driver, the lone occupant, was treated by BC Ambulance on scene and transported.
KVFD respond to several calls The Keremeos fire department experienced another busy weekend, responding to three other incidents, including two wildfires on Friday, April 11 and Sunday, April 13. Ironically, the department was hosting an appreciation dinner for fire department personnel’s spouses on Saturday night, only to be paged out on a call just before the dinner got underway. The call concerned some spilled liquid that burned on a stove top element. KVFD members refused to let the incident interfere with their function, quickly responding to the call, rectifying the situation, and returning just as dinner was being served.

A helicopter working Sunday’s wildfire south of Cawston douses a hot spot. The fire burned 84 hectares in the lower valley. It was another busy weekend for Keremeos firefighters as they were put to work fighting a wildfire on Friday as well.

Early season wildfires strike Lower Similkameen Concern growing over number of human caused fires in the area, as dry conditions prevail on the valley floor By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com If recent wild fire activity is any indicator, the Similkameen could be heading for a busy fire season. Rapidly warming temperatures, sunny skies and gusty winds contributed to a stubborn wildfire that burned 10 hectares of Pincushion Mountain near Keremeos on Friday, April 11. The fire began around 2 p.m. at the base of the mountain near A and M Orchards, just north of Keremeos, and spread rapidly up the mountain. Fanned by strong, gusty winds, firefighters were fortunate that the westerly winds moved it away from property on the valley floor. Crews were on scene until 9 p.m., with an inspection crew back on scene Sat-
urday to check for hot spots on the mountainside. On Sunday, April 13, a second wildfire broke out south of Cawston, between Highway 3 and the Similkameen River. The Sunday fire was contained within Lower Similkameen Indian Band and the KVFD fire protection area lands. A hayfield and barn was threatened, with the potential for the fire to spread to other structures at one point, but firefighters managed to prevent any property losses. Keremeos volunteer firefighters worked the 84 hectare fire from 2:30 p.m until midnight, and were back on scene Monday to assess hot spots. The Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department also called on the resources of the BC Forest Service, who provided some assistance in both wildfires. Both fires were human caused. “We had a good night last night, with cool temperatures and light winds,” said Keremeos Chief Jordy Bosscha Monday morning. “Hopefully the wind stays down. As long as winds are favourable, we should be okay.
Bosscha is concerned that the recent outbreak of wildfires could be a harbinger of a busy season to come. “We’ve still got a 120 per cent of normal snow pack to come down from the mountains,” he said, “but it’s bone dry on the valley floor right now.” A press release issued by Kamloops Fire Centre on April 14 reported 10 new wildfires in the Kamloops Fire Centre since Friday, April 11, all of which have been human-caused. Thirty-two fires have occurred in the centre since April 1, and almost all were the result of poorly planned open burning, reported Fire Information Officer Kayla Pepper. More than half of the wildfires across British Columbia this season have been located in the Kamloops Fire Centre, and all have been humancaused. Before conducting a burn, Kamloops Fire Centre advises residents to check with the Keremeos Fire Department, Village of Keremeos and Regional District Okanagan Similkameen to see if any open burning restrictions or bylaws are in effect.

Keremeos village budget presented to public at regular meeting of council By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Budget presented to public A half dozen residents turned out to the April 7 regular meeting of council to comment on the 2014 budget. Chief Financial Officer Rob Hager presented a brief outline of highlights of this year’s financial plan. He noted average taxes for a household in Keremeos was up only $2.61 over last year. It was also pointed out 40.22 per cent of the village’s operating revenues came from grant funding, with tax revenue contributing 35.28 per cent. Council entertained questions from the gallery regarding construction costs for village washroom upgrades, commercial property taxation and downtown revitalization. Dog park petition Village staff received a 124 signature petition favouring the establishment of a dog park in the community. The issue will be discussed at a future council meeting. Support requests Two of Keremeos’ most popular weekend events made their annual requests to council on Monday. The Keremeos Rodeo requested sponsorship in the form of an $800 prize for a rodeo event. The Kars Under the “K” committee also requested trophy sponsorship of $100, in addition to a number of in kind support items such as erection of barricades, sprinkler shutdown in the park over the Kars weekend, washrooms opened and dust control on Veterans Avenue. Council agreed to the requests. Business Walk A business walk is planned for the last week in April with representatives from the village,

Sabryna, Audrey, Catherine and Julia prepare to enjoy a breakfast of fried bologna out on the Similkameen River flats near the former transient Farmworkers Campground. The four young ladies, all from Quebec, are experiencing Keremeos and B.C., through a simply lived camping experience.
Early start to the transient season in Keremeos Early arrivals say they are enjoying spring weather, no rush to find work yet By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Spring like weather has only recently touched the Similkameen Valley, with grass greening up last week and cottonwood trees just beginning to leaf out along the Similkameen River. The migratory farmworkers camping season has already started, however, in spite of the fact that spring has only recently arrived. Ten campers are currently staked out along the bank of the Similkameen east of the cement plant, in the vicinity of the former Farmworkers Campground site. Ian, the only camper to be found on site on Wednesday, April 9, was relaxing in a camp chair reading a novel, enjoying the sunny Similkameen spring morning. He explained the other campers had left the site for the library earlier in the morning. “I’ve lived in the area for five years,” he said, his last employers located just down the road at St. Laslo’s Vineyard. “It was time to move on,” he said regarding his last place of employment. He said he pitched his tent around mid - March. “We’ll be pruning soon, followed by planting, then thinning,” he said, W ATM NO LE! B AVAILA

regarding upcoming job prospects. Ian, who is originally from Dryden, Ontario, went back east for a short period of time two years ago after experiencing back to back poor harvests. “It’s the nature of the beast,” he said, explaining his philosophy of transient farm labour, “you want to put it off as long as possible, because once you start, there’s no stopping unless you get a weather day. “Anyone who is in a rush to get going hasn’t done it before.” Ian said the campground currently held several workers from Quebec, with others coming from Saskatchewan, Vancouver Island, and other places. Tucked into a remote corner of the flood plain, a huddle of tents are set up amongst the newly leafed trees. Several young ladies from Quebec could be found last week, surrounding a morning camp fire. “We’re just here enjoying the outdoors,” said Julia, as she threw some kindling on the fire. The group do not have plans to remain in the area all summer. “We have a good crew this year,” Ian said, “there have been no fights or arguments so far - the biggest discussion is over who’s campfire we’re going to sit around each night.” At least one of the campers has been in the area since the beginning of March.

The advent of spring weather is a bonus for the campers at this time of year, as it makes the outdoor lifestyle a little more comfortable. “It’s not for everyone,” Ian admits, adding that he finds the lifestyle enjoyable and stress free. “I come from Northern Ontario,” he said simply when asked about camping out during some of the recent cold nights. “I brought a five star sleeping bag with me.” The nearest fresh water is at least a half kilometre away, at the RV dump near the sewage treatment plant. Ian made a trip to the faucet to refill a couple of 500 millilitre bottles of water Wednesday morning. Passing by a couple of large boulders rolled into place at the entrance to the road leading to the former camping area, Ian gestures. “Those won’t last long,” he predicted, “the bollard that was put in last year only lasted a few days.” The barriers were erected to try to prevent transients with vehicles from being able to access the site this year. Did this sudden onset of spring weather mean a long hot summer was in the forecast? Ian wouldn’t speculate. “I’ve never been able to predict what summer will be like based on what is going on now.” He said living so close to nature, he found he could relate to nature more easily than many.

The Review
Publisher: Don Kendall 605 7th Avenue, Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial
Parking problems are relative Someone from a larger centre might find it preposterous that Keremeos should have a parking problem on its main street. It might be an issue that even village residents find preposterous, but it appears there are a few issues that, when looked at in relative terms, might be considered problems. The biggest concern seems to be extended parking on the main street’s parallel parking spaces. Merchants find the all day parkers are an impediment to business - and they may be right. Consider the difficulties small towns like Keremeos have attracting business to their small downtown cores. One of the saving graces of a small community is the ability one has to move around without having to contend with excess traffic; an extension of that is the ability to park within easy distance ( i.e., right in front of) your destination. One or two vehicles parked strategically on Seventh Avenue can disrupt “parking flow” on main street, the result being that “easy space” might not be immediately available to a prospective customer. If that person feels too inconvenienced at the particular time, he / she may say to themselves, “Oh, well, I can always pick up what I need in Penticton.” We hate to say it, but exercise is probably not on the minds of Keremeos consumers when they shop locally. They most likely want to zip downtown, stop in front, or nearly in front of their destination, get what they need, and go. It’s what they are used to being able to do. Parking on Veterans Avenue and walking the short block to the main street is something that would be quite acceptable in a larger centre but not here, where convenience is the key.

No matter where you camp, it seems you’re always in somebody’s backyard By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com I was quite surprised to find last week ten young adults already camped out on the river flats east of Keremeos, in the vicinity of the former Farmworkers Campground site. From what I was able to gather, it seems as though this year’s initial influx of farm labourers and young travellers are behaving themselves at the same time they are enjoying a cross Canada adventure. (I guess they are also escaping some late winter weather still maintaining its grip in other parts of the country). I had a short conversation with several of the transients, and I came away with the impression that these people aren’t looking for trouble, just enjoying an adventure
with friends before settling down to a more regimented lifestyle. I thought these young adults were exhibiting a youthful spirit that is in scarce supply these days. They are living under pretty basic living conditions, exposed to the elements most of the time, and a long way from many familiar things. They seem to be enjoying the experience. I remember similar circumstances when I was roughly their age, but my experience didn’t involve a cross Canada adventure. Myself and two of my buddies planned to take a week off together one year, and decided to spend the week “roughing” it on a lake near Parry Sound, Ontario. My two buddies had camped in this particular lo cation the previous year, and they had a great time, they
assured me. “There’s nobody for miles,” I was told. We arrived at the public launch area on the shore of a lake on a rainy Saturday morning. I had more of a rural upbringing than my citybred friends, and could already see some cracks in the wilderness concept they had impressed upon me. For one thing, the lake was ringed with cottages. We proceeded to canoe oursleves and our gear across the lake to the far shoreline, where we set up camp. The weather was pretty miserable, keeping me close to our tent and campfire on the first day. Otherwise, I would have noticed our reasonably close proximity to a cottage that was located in a little bay next to the peninsula we were camped on. Anyway, we were

rudely awakened the next morning by an irate cottager who told us, with the aid of some choice four letter words, that we were trespassing, and had better high-tail it out of there. “That’s weird,” said one of my buddies as we hastily threw everything back into the canoe, “there was nobody in that cottage last year.” There are few ways young kids can embark on a travelling experience these days without ending up in someone’s back yard. As long as they are respectful and look after the environment (two allencompassing conditions that are seldom met to satisfaction, I realize) I don’t see any reason not to welcome them, if for no other reason than to salute their intrepid spirit, which seems to me a rare trait to find these days.

Who’s afraid of a little debate? By Dermid Travis Executive Director, Integrity BC “Today’s BC Liberals” may have taken a little inspiration during last year’s election campaign from former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell when she bluntly stated in 1993 that “an election is no time to discuss serious issues.” It’s why British Columbians could be forgiven for thinking that they missed something during the campaign after seeing some of the legislation introduced during the current session of the B.C. legislature. Heck, in some cases, “Today’s BC Liberals” didn’t even communicate some of their plans through a Monty Python “Know what I mean? Nudge, nudge. Say no more” sketch. And if they were forced up against a wall in the campaign and had no choice but to stake out a position, many of those lofty words run directly counter to what they’re now doing firmly ensconced back in office. Here’s what “Today’s BC Liberals” told Metro Vancouver last year about the Agricultural Land Reserve: “In 2011, we reaffirmed our commitment to the ALR with amendments to the ALC Act and $1.6 million in additional one-time funding in order to strengthen compliance and enforcement and provide additional resources.” Nothing there about creating a two-tier land reserve. Trawling for votes in B.C.’s coastal communities, this is what “Today’s BC Liberals” had to say about BC Ferries: “...we need to
do more to ensure coastal communities have access to a high quality ferry service that affordably meets the needs of the travelling public.” Not a hint about service cuts, scrapping free senior travel or putting a glorified tugboat on the Discovery Coast ferry route for the nine-hour trip to Bella Coola. Even February’s Speech from the Throne opted for boredom over setting out the government’s agenda. In the eight, four-day weeks that the B.C. legislature has sat so far this year, the government has tabled 26 pieces of legislation, most of them not having garnered a single syllable in that February speech. One bill would create that two-tiered Agricultural Land Reserve. Another bill allows research in B.C. parks, for what and by whom is still a mystery. Another piece of legislation will freeze the status of 17 provincial ridings ostensibly because of their rural nature, but in a bizarre twist the two ridings that make up Prince George and the two that make up Kamloops suddenly became vast, remote ridings and are thrown in as well. The Local Elections Campaign Financing Act – fails to tackle the principal recommendation from the 2010 Local Government Elections Task Force: campaign spending limits. After one white paper, one discussion paper and four years of procrastination the government tables two bills on local elections in one day with a total of 101 sections in one, 213 sections in the other and the campaign spending elephant is still in
the room. And all of these bills – despite their significance to the province’s future – are being debated and passed in a matter of hours. Eleven have passed third reading. It’s not a stretch to imagine that there was more debate among MLAs on the fallout over Speaker Linda Reid’s $733 muffin and snack rack than there was over the Park Amendment Act. Which leads to the obvious question: why the rush? The Agricultural Land Reserve has existed for more than 40 years. If the government’s plans for a two-tier land reserve are as innocuous as their talking points make them out to be, a few months of consultation won’t upset the apple cart. The Minister responsible, Bill Bennett, has already apologized for the lack of it, saying: “I know that we could have done a better job of consultations and I take my mea culpa.” That’s nice, but why not fix it with an all-party committee of the legislature and public consultations across B.C. with the goal of going to second and third reading in the fall session of the legislature? At the end of the day, no one expects that an election campaign can touch on every issue, but when it does and the party that wins completely reverses course, voters might feel like they were taken for fools. But then maybe it is the fault of B.C. voters for not fully appreciating that the B.C. Liberals might have been quite literal when they used the term “Today’s BC Liberals” throughout the last campaign.

Cross continental canoe journey aims to fundraise for troubled youth By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Mike Ranta’s April 14 canoe journey down the Similkameen River from Princeton to Keremeos was not without its share of adventures. The resident of the small northern Ontario community of Atikokan is on an 8,000 kilometre cross-Canada canoe journey to raise money for Atikokan Youth Initiatives. Ranta set out from Richmond on April 1, paddling into the Pacific Ocean before heading down the Fraser River to Hope. “There’s a way to ride the current - it’s actually quite easy to paddle upstream, once you know how,” he explained matter-of-factly. “You have to stay close to shore, and watch where you place the canoe.” Ranta said the Fraser was starting to rise, but managed to make it to Hope unscathed. If you were driving to the coast last week. you might have seen Ranta, portaging the Hope-Princeton Highway, pulling his canoe and accompanied by his faithful companion Spitzii, a Finnish Spitz dog. “He’s good company,” Ranta said of his canine companion. “We look out for each other, and we get along really well - although he has his moments, and I have mine.” Ranta and Spitzii made Princeton last Sunday, April 13, spending Mon-
day on the river as they made their way downstream to Keremeos. “It was getting pretty crazy,” he said Tuesday after arriving in the village. Around Bromley Rock, the duo rounded a corner in the river and hit white water. Rather than take a chance on the river, he put the canoe on the rocks, swamping the boat in the process. “I went right underneath it,” he said, “but at least it wasn’t in the middle of the river.” Calling the incident “refreshing,” he said he was fortunate not to have lost any gear. “I ended up having to line the canoe much of the rest of the way,” Ranta said, “there were places where I could literally see the water level going up.” Calling the day’s journey “educational” Ranta said he nonetheless really enjoyed the Similkameen River. “It was fun, and fast,” he said. Ranta camped out at Red Bridge, arriving there sometime after dark on Monday night. He ran into further problems Tuesday when he found his canoe cart had a broken weld. “I can’t thank the people of this village enough for the help they’ve given me,” Ranta said early Tuesday afternoon after he had completed his repairs. “There was a fellow named Don who gave me a ride up the hill to Central Fabricating, where Mike welded my cart back together, and Dan (Dan’s Automotive) let me use his yard to make the repairs.

Keremeos Volunteer Fire Department members discuss why they are volunteer firefighters
Worth the personal sacrifice Of all volunteer positions in the community, probably none demand more of a resident than that of serving on a volunteer community fire department. Granted, everyone serves to the best of their ability in terms of his or her own commitment level, but modern society places high demands and high expectations on the department as a whole to perform the duties expected - and as a result, that means the buck has to stop somewhere. Someone eventually has to take responsibility for overseeeing the operation. The top jobs in the service are also the most time demanding. The chief and deputy chief discuss their duties and the demands on their lives. By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Jordy Bosscha is Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department’s present chief. He’s been with the department since
1991, serving the role of chief since 1998. “My dad did it - I guess it’s a family thing,” Bosscha said when asked why he got involved in the fire department. His contributions are larger than most - Bosscha estimates he spends two to four hours daily on fire department business. Much of that time is spent on administrative duties, which he shares with Deputy Chief Jim Murphy. “How has it affected my personal life? My family has sacrificed quite a bit,” Bosscha said. “I’m fortunate to have a strong-
willed wife who can pick up where I leave off.”
Helping one’s neighbour might also mean helping their canine companions, as KVFD Chief Jordy Bosscha and other members did after a motor vehicle accident on Highway 3 last February.
Jordy Bosscha has been Keremeos Fire Chief since 1998.
Like many others, Bosscha said that he never intended to get as involved in the department as he has. “I grew into it,” he explained, adding, “I do it to help the community. It’s definitely not for the money - there’s some good cameraderie in the department, and being a
member provides some opportunities for socializing. It’s also an opportunity to hang out with others who have similar interests.” Jim Murphy has been a member of the Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department since 2002. Since 2012 he has taken on the role of Deputy Chief. “What motivated me to join? I don’t know - John Sladen asked me if I was interested, and I decided to give it a try. I never had any particular desire to be a firefighter,” Murphy said. Moving from a position as one of the regular firefighters to an officer’s position has been one of the biggest challenges faced by Murphy. “Personal and personnel issues change when you’re the one sorting them out,” he said. Time spent conducting department business is also an ongoing challenge for Murphy, who said he

couldn’t guess how many extra hours he puts in annually to perform the additional adminstrative duties he is repsonsible for as Deputy Chief. “I guess I’m lucky my wife works in the evenings,” He said, “it gives me the time to spend at the firehall.” Murphy said the KVFD has a policy of “family first.” “Calls always come at the worst times,” he said, “including the middle

He sees

firefighters as a different breed. “We look at things a bit differently - there’s a certain mindset at work,” he said. “I’m also lucky to have a wife who is also very supportive with this aspect of my life,” he concluded, “families sit at home and wait while we go out and do all the fun stuff.”

Former Similkameen High student wins provincial honours at Skills Canada competition By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Elias Vikner took top honours in the Skills Canada provincial competition held recently in Abbotsford. Vikner is a 24 year old British Columbia Institute of Technology student engaged in the welding program. The former Keremeos resident took first place honours in the post -secondary welding skills competition. As a result, Vikner will head to Toronto to compete in the nationals competion June 4 to 7. “The competiton involved being given a set of blueprints to make two projects in five hours,” Vikner explained. “I had to fabricate and weld using four different processes - TIG weld stainless steel, and gas metal arc weld mild steel. I also used flux core arc welding and shielded metal arc welding methods.”
Lincoln Electric awarded Vikner a welding helmet as part of the win. He’s planning to continue with school to reach his Level B and pressure ticket. “I’d like to go up north to work, save some money to get a jump start on a down payment for a house,” he said, noting the win should also look good on his resume. Vikner, 24, was once a student at Similkameen Elementary Secondary School. He still has family living in the area. SESS also sent a number of students to the competition. “We had Jagdeep Sumal representing SESS in the Secondary Automotive Service and Brody Porter and Parmeet Brar entered the Junior Skills Gravity Car Competition. They came in fifth, “ said Boyd Turnbull, SESS Career Education Coordinator and Technology Education Teacher.

Parking problems plaguing downtown business owners By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com “It’s a matter of people not abiding by the law,” said Canadian Chopper owner Daryl Letkeman last week after noticing a number of infractions taking place around the corner of Sixth Street and Seventh Avenue. “People are parking alongside yellow-painted curbs, on and across the sidewalk, beside hydrants - one motorist, when told to move his vehicle because he was illegally parked, drove across the street to the (bank) parking lot and parked in the handicapped stall,” Letkeman said. “It’s bad, ridiculous,” he added, noting also numerous locals who were consistently disobeying the two hour parking limit on Seventh Avenue. “The end result is other businesses have their parking spaces encroached upon by neighbouring business’ customers,” he explained, “it causes a back up which eventually results in someone
doing something illegal.” Letkeman’s large corner property also contains ample parking in front of his business, making his lot a convenient location for vehicles wishing to perform a U-turn, in addition to those looking for handy parking. Vehicles tend to race across the concrete apron, cutting the corner between Seventh and Sixth, a manouevre Letkeman considers dangerous and rude. Motorists who park on his property often straddle the sidewalk, at the same time they restrict parking for his customers. “I’ve called the village and gotten the bylaw enforcement officer involved,” Letkeman said, “it might take a fine or two in order to get the few who do these types of things to correct their behaviour.” “It’s not a big parking issue, but it is an issue on Seventh Avenue,” admitted Keremeos Village Chief Administrative Officer Laurie Taylor, who said there have also been complaints arising further west on Seventh Avenue over vehicles
parked for lengthy periods in the vicinity of the Lower Similkameen Indian Band office. “People who are working on the main street who park their vehicles on the street all day can tie up parking spaces, making it difficult for a customer to find a parking spot near the business they wish to patronize,” Taylor said. “Our bylaw enforcement officer has issued a few tickets.” Taylor said there is an abundance of parking available off Seventh, almost anywhere along Veterans Avenue, as well as a parking lot on village property two lots east of the liquor store. There is also ample parking space south of the Red Bridge Pub and along Veterans Avenue.

Community Foundation grants $223,000 to local charities By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
ignated specifically by the donors. Some donors make a permanent designation so that their endowment fund will always support a specific charity. In some other cases, the donor will provide annual advice to the Community Foundation as to which charity they wish to support. This year’s grants impacting Okanagan Falls and the Lower Similkameen were given to the following projects: - Hedley Seniors Centre received $2,500 for new tables and a storage cart for the centre. - Okanagan Falls Women’s Institute received $10,000 towards the construction of the Band shell in Okanagan Falls. - Similkameen Secondary School received $380 from the Pat Clark Memorial Bursary. - Penticton & District Community Resources Society received $5,000 to set-up a new childcare facility in Cawston and Keremeos. Half the funds will be used to purchase furniture and equipment for both locations, while the other half will help to cover costs for the team leader to get the centres up and running.
The Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen recently awarded $223,000 in grants to charities throughout the Regional District of the Okanagan Similkameen. Community Foundation grants come from earnings on investments of just over $9 million. The original donation values are protected to ensure a permanent source of grants for local causes. “While it’s not essential for donations to the Community Foundation to be permanently endowed,” said McRann, “The reality is that most of our donors appreciate the concept of providing a legacy of giving for charities they care about. Donors who feel this way tend to value the idea of investing the original donation and providing annual grants to local groups based on the earnings from those investments.” Of the $223,000 in grants made in 2014, $119,000 was available through the Smart & Caring Communities grants program where charities submit project apSRC Bowling plications through Strikes and Spares April 7 - 10 a competitive bid Monday P.M.

School District 53 issued two Requests for Proposals for childcare operators in both Cawston and Keremeos. PDCRS was the successful proponent for both RFPs. “We understand there is limited options for childcare in both communities. Therefore, our goal is to increase the number of childcare spaces in each of these communities, and to create quality learning opportunities for children to play, learn and grow with their peers. “Additionally, we will provide a safe place for children so their parents can work and contribute to the economy in the region. “The two new centres will provide a continuum of childcare options including infant toddler, preschool, 3-5 care and before and afterschool school care,” said Community Foundation Regional Development Coordinator Sarah Trudeau.

WHAT’S YOUR SLEEPING ENVIRONMENT?
DON’T LET SLEEP SLIP AWAY By David Dixon, Summerland, BC PART II Back to melatonin: Everybody’s body produces it. Some manufacture far less than their body requires; others have sufficient amounts to do the job. One of the ways to ensure that you are producing sufficient amounts of melatonin is to sleep in a dark room. Not a relatively dark room, but one that is void of any light whatsoever. This is the recipe for melatonin production and, just like one for a cake, for example, it requires all components in just the right amount. In this case, the darkest of rooms is necessary to end up with the best production of melatonin. Give the body the raw material it needs and it manufactures what it requires to survive in optimal fashion. There are plenty of possible natural options when it comes to sleep aids. For example, homeopathic solutions for reducing stress levels also assist many people in relaxing enough to drift off. And in the morning: no hangover...unlike melatonin for some folks. One of the natural, homeopathic-strength remedies that I have found to be very useful was originally taken to alleviate “restless legs”. You know, when you are trying to relax and drift off to sleep, your legs have dancing in mind. Because these aforementioned are in homeopathic (more details to follow in subsequent article here) strength, they can be taken in relative ease, knowing that taking several will not put you “over the edge” and cause a life-threatening situation to arise. I have experienced dancing legs, whilst attempting to sleep (usually when I have become over-tired) and, after popping some Mag. Phos. (Magnesium Phosphate) tablets have drifted off both quickly and easily. A combination of calcium and magnesium has been beneficial for many people who could not, otherwise, fall asleep. An oversimplification regarding the function of the aforementioned minerals – calcium and magnesium – is that: calcium helps muscles to contract (rather important for anyone who wishes to move at all), while magnesium allows those muscles to relax. Because minerals are so often teammates, they act synergistically or as a team, thus, taking them together does have its benefits. Generally though, the body must be able to relax before it is able to allow sleep to happen. Getting to the core or source of your stress can be highly beneficial but is not always possible. We don’t always know exactly why we are stressed and sometimes are not even aware that we are. Masking the symptom can be helpful in improving one’s health (in this case, the inability to sleep) …not to mention improving one’s moods. Because sleep is so important, it is advisable to take even the most drastic measures to help attain it on a fairly regular basis. This could mean going to the pharmacy and resorting to prescription medicine. In any case, whatever works is a good idea when it comes to sleep; it’s that important to our health.

It seems there is a pill for every ill but every ill doesn’t necessarily require a pill. Instead of a sleeping pill, check your sleeping environment. Don’t eat big meals late in the evening; avoid alcohol before bed; cut your caffeine consumption down to nothing after 4 pm; don’t smoke; try deep breathing exercises to help to relax before bed. Television just before bed can act as a stimulant. All that bad news can’t be good for relaxation.
AFTERNOON NAP :)
Related to this sleep comment, the question of afternoon naps comes up. Actually, a 30 to 60 minute nap can be beneficial. It helps us get through the rest of the day and there is even some evidence that it helps our ability to learn.
MEDS AND CHILDREN
Infants and children handle drugs differently than adults. Their changing physiology and anatomy mean that dosess have to be smaller because they metabolize drugs more slowly. Doses for children are based on body weight. Read labels carefully and use a calibrated spoon to measure out liquid medicines. Our pharmacists can help you with this.
BIRTH CONTROL AND PREGNANCY
There was a rumour going around that women who took birth control pills for a few years would have trouble getting pregnant when they went off the pill. This is not true. In fact, many women find it easier to get pregnant. Answering your questions about drugs is one of the most important parts of our service to you. Please ask whenever you have a query about your medications.
