Lights, action, camera - and all quiet on the set as APTN’s food series films dual episodes at the Grist Mill By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Excellent performance at SESS See page 10
The summer kitchen at Keremeos Grist Mill was turned into a television set for five days last week. Tracey Kim Bonneau hosted and acted as lead producer for the filming of two
episodes of her aboriginal cooking series called “Wild Food” on the mill grounds. The episodes will form part of a 13 part series called “Quest out West,” which Producer Suzan Derkson said will be “a mixture of adventure, fishing and hunting in the Okanagan and Similkameen valleys. Wild Food, a series created by Bonneau, discusses aboriginal foods and their place in history, culture and modern times. The show airs on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN). Bonneau is a member and resident of the Penticton Indian Band and wellknown as an award winning independent broadcast journalist, director, writer producer and storyteller.

“Tracey developed the premise for this show over five years,” said Derkson between takes on the set on May 1. “She’s so knowledgeable about what to look for in the wild in terms of what is food and what isn’t.” Derkson said a Syilx version of the show is also planned. Grist Mill Manager Chris Mathieson tried his hand at a second career, working alongside Bonneau as she discussed wild berries and how to harvest and prepare them. He was enthusiastic about having the television crew use the site. “It’s been busy, but great to have them here,” he said, noting the summer-like weather late last week, “it’s great exposure for us.”

This tractor trailer discovered nature the hard way when it hit a large rock that spilled onto Highway 3 around 6:30 p.m. Sunday, May 4, at the site of a larger slide that occurred on January 27. The rock apparently caused more than superficial damage to the tractor, which remained at the scene overnight prior to being towed Monday morning.
Highway closes temporarily after rock slide By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Highway 3 was closed Sunday evening, May 4, after a minor rock slide occurred in the same location of a previous slide that occurred on January 27 this year. A semi truck fell victim to a single boulder, described as being “half the size of a refrigerator” when the vehicle struck it. Heavy rains and poor visiblity were factors in the accident, which left the semi crippled on the highway overnight. Argo Maintenance personnel worked through the evening, clearing and monitoring the slide area. By mid morning, the semi had been hauled away and the highway cleared, but Argo personnel were awaiting official word from Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure authorities before reopening the highway. “There hasn’t been any more material come down
since the initial rockfall,” said an Argo maintenance worker at the site Monday morning. “The area has a history, so ministry officials may want to conduct another geotechnical assessment.” The worker, who wished to remain anonymous, speculated the highway could remain closed for the day if ministry officials decided to conduct further assessments. However, the highway eventually reopened midmorning Monday to single lane alternating traffic while a geotechnical assessment took place. The slide that occurred in January resulted in Highway 3 being closed for three days. An earthen berm has been in place in one of the four traffic lanes since that slide, and a reduced speed zone put in place. Questions regarding work performed on slope stabilization over the past three months put to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure by the Review went unanswered by press time this week.

Keremeos dog park expected to go ahead this year By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Keremeos council agreed Monday to provide funding for an off-leash dog park in Keremeos in the 2014 budget. The project was originally included in this year’s budget, but was shelved after revised costs for the village’s new park washrooms tapped into reserve alotments for this year. However, a 124 signature petition delivered to the village, along with an increasing perception that a dog park was a highly desired amenity amongst village residents convinced village staff to conduct further research and present another report to council regarding the matter. Input from village residents indicated a desire for the dog park to be located on provincial highways property across from the sewage treatment plant, rather than on a piece of property owned by the village located behind Sixth Avenue east of Forner Crescent.

Students present Similkameen water project
Students gather around a layout of the Similkameen River during an exercise designed to show how human activity around a water source can lead to excessive downstream pollution.
By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Aboriginal students explore Similkameen water issues as part of national project Dyawen Louis, Nicola Terbasket, Reiley Terbasket and Madison Terbasket-Winser represented Similkameen Elementary Secondary School and and the Lower Similkameen Indian Band as the Youth Water Leaders from B.C. as part of a nation wide youth water project. The students have been looking at water issues in the community, as part of an overall project involving a year long, national water conservation project funded by the Canadian Centre for Indigenous Environmental Resources titled “Our Water, Our Future.” The school based project, which partnered with the Lower Similkameen Indian Band and the Okanagan Nation Alliance, hosted one of four week long workshops during the week of November 25 - 28. The four workshops represented Canada’s watersheds - the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic and Hudson’s Bay. The students studied the Si-

milkameen River, developing a power point presentation titled “Saving Similkameen Sensibly”, which they shared with SESS grade nine classes on April 29. The student’s study focussed on the proposed Fortis dam near Princeton and also the effects of water quality from mining and other developmental sources. The students’ presentation described water issues pertinent to the Similkameen valley, particularly emphasizing the operation and negative effects of large scale mining operations upstream of Keremeos over the past century. The report ended with a list of proactive things individuals could do to sustain the Similkameen ecosystem, including such interesting suggestions as constructing an outhouse in order to reduce the amount of water used in toilet flushings, as well as taking a more holistic approach to building dams by having them created naturally by beavers. The youth water leaders studied and created their report with the assistance of the Okan-
agan Nation’s Jeremy Crow and Kathy Holland. “We set up the program in support of the youth in the Nation,” Crow said, “our youth are being educated as we try to build a water strategy.” The student audience also participated in an exercise designed to show how upstream development can negatively affect downstream use. The audience was broken into a number of groups and given pieces of paper representing a portion of the Similkameen River, and asked to “develop” them by making cultural additions like houses, farms, shopping malls, etc. The pieces were then joined together to form the river, and potatoes distributed to represent environmental damage caused by the development, potatoes accumulating towards the downstream portion of the river. Similkameen’s youth water leaders have one more workshop in the four part series, taking place in Shoal Lake on the Manitoba - Ontario border during the week of May 5-10.

The Review
Publisher: Don Kendall 605 7th Avenue, Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial Economic attitudes need reshaping Keremeos Councillor Gary Thielmann spent a couple of days in Penticton last week, representing the village during the annual Southern Interior Local Government (SILGA) convention. In his report to council last Monday night, Thielmann noted that Lee Mossman, President of CUPE 338 in Kelowna, told an audience that if everyone spent 10 per cent more of their salary at home it would make a large economic impact in the small communities where that money would be spent. The statement seems to echo what we are seeing happens in Keremeos. A small business closes its doors after struggling for two years. The reason for closing? Not enough people coming in. Another small business is upset that not only he - but other business people in the community - cannot benefit from municipal spending on large capital projects in the region. A restaurant finds itself constantly adjusting its hours, closing for part of the day, or part of the week, to try and maximize business opportunity while minimizing business expense. It’s not that these businesses don’t have business - at times, there is healthy economic activity taking place in the village. The problem is not enough business - and without expensive detailed studies, it’s probably a good guess to say that little bit extra that local retailers need to do more than just survive - that is to thrive - is being bled off in consumer attitudes that always seek the obvious low price. It’s not a new problem, but it’s one that an aspiring politician might want to consider taking on. After all, society has tackled other attitudes concerning such things as health and the environment - why not economic attitudes? It’s an issue that an aspiring, interested politician might even garner some votes from. After all, this is an election year.

THE
‘Vocational school’ back in style
By Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government has rolled out its ambitious overhaul of the public education system, from kindergarten to graduate school, much to the horror of its left-wing establishment. The formal title is B.C.’s Skills For Jobs Blueprint: Re-engineering Education and Training. It’s designed to dovetail with the Harper regime’s Canada Job Grant that requires employers to co-sponsor training spaces so they will hire the students at the end. Elementary and middle school curriculum is being revised to increase emphasis on hands-on experience. High school and post-secondary skilled trades programs are getting more money, but it’s going to be shifted from under-performing programs that don’t lead to jobs.
A couple of weeks ago, Simon Fraser University president Andrew Petter downplayed the “relatively small” skilled trades shortage for B.C. industry. “We should not be engaged in a zero-sum kind of battle for dollars,” Petter protested. That’s exactly what he and other university executives are looking at, and it will be based on the latest graduate employment data and labour demand forecasts. One of the key architects of this sweeping plan is Jessica McDonald, who shook up the public service while serving as Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister. Her report on trades training confirms what Campbell’s critics in the labour movement have long said: the government’s 10-year experiment with the Industry Training Authority is a rudderless mess. “Certain partners, particularly organized labour, feel marginalized,” Mc-
Donald wrote. “Others, particularly employers and employers’ associations, do not feel heard within the system. Over the recent past, several new directions have been introduced such as de-regulation of trades and modular training that have caused strain because they were not fully inclusive during development, were seen to benefit single interests, and they impacted the whole system.” The ITA board is being replaced, with union representation restored, and advisory councils from industrial employers will update their hiring needs. The B.C. Federation of Labour and the construction unions have all but abandoned the NDP after Adrian Dix’s disastrous pitch for urban anti-industry votes last year. B.C. Fed president Jim Sinclair was an early advocate for rescuing skilled trades from the second-class status they received in a culture fixated on univer-

sity for two generations. That culture has created glaring problems. There are too many institutions offering the same courses. As with health care, block funding is handed out without any serious effort to measure the results. For many students, university has become an extension of adolescence, finding one’s self through philosophy or film studies. Employers get their share of blame from McDonald. Not only did they chop up trades training to make it cheaper to obtain, their preferred source of skilled workers has been to poach from other employers who paid to train them. Skills-based employment data will be made public for students to make career choices. Finally, students coming out of high school will have a way to assess what they can expect after $50,000 or more is spent on higher education. It’s about time.

Unfair aspects of the Fair Elections Act In a recent speech at the National Action Network convention in New York City, U.S. President Barack Obama addressed the issue of voter suppression and voter ID laws. President Obama echoed Canadian elecBy Alex Atamanenko tion experts who MP, BC Southern Interior point out that voting fraud is almost nonexistent and there is simply no justification for introducing new, highly restrictive voter ID laws – as Republicans have done in the States and Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives are doing right now in Canada. “So let’s be clear. The real voter fraud is people who try to deny our rights by making bogus arguments about voter fraud.” - President Barack Obama, April 11, 2014 Sadly, the Unfair Elections Act is doing exactly what President Obama is warning about. Conservatives persist in making bogus arguments about voter fraud, despite the fact almost all the irregularities investigated by Elections Canada are administrative errors. As a result, they are ramming through an unfair bill that could disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of Canadians. Canadians deserve a government that encourages people to vote, not the opposite. To put it bluntly, Bill C-23 is a threat to our democracy, the latest in a series of attacks on what I would call “our Canadian way of Life”. We must not let the Conservatives get away with this unprecedented attack on our democratic process. Our Prime Minister would have Canadians believe Elections Canada is being strengthened, when in fact, the opposite is true. The Unfair Elections Act is a thinlyveiled pursuit of a vendetta against the Chief Electoral Officer. Look no further than Bill C-23’s removal of the right of the Chief Electoral Officer to engage in democracy promotion and general public education which targets the more marginalized groups whose members are less likely to vote. Look also at how in C-23 the Chief Electoral Officer is put on the list of those expressly covered by the Conflict of Interest Act, when no other officer of Parliament is so singled out. My colleague, Craig Scott, our Demo-
cratic Reform critic has identified at least 20 serious problems with C-23. To assist us in understanding what is happening he has grouped the problems into three themes: 1. Voter Suppression The Unfair Elections Act removes two methods of voting that have proven effective in enfranchising voters who do not have standard I.D. documents, have no fixed address, or otherwise cannot meet the identity-proving requirements in the current Canada Elections Act. The long-standing Canadian practice of vouching allowed 120,000 people to vote in 2011. Elections Canada also expanded the use of its Voter Identification Cards (VICs) in three contexts in 2011 -- youth attending university, seniors in residence, and Aboriginal people living on reserves. The exercise showed just how much potential there is for the use of VICs with a second piece of I.D. in allowing more people to vote. The Conservatives have concocted claims that vouching and VICs are the source of widespread fraud by citizens -- with NO evidence to back up this claim -- and then use this as the ‘rationale’ to prohibit these forms of identifying voters. This method comes straight from the voter-suppression playbook of the US Republican Party. The Unfair Elections Act also prohibits the Chief Electoral Officer from engaging in general public education and democratic outreach to groups less likely to vote. According to C-23, The Elections Canada civics-outreach Student Vote Program (SVP) will now be illegal for the Chief Electoral Officer to run. During the 2011 general election, over 500,000 students across Canada cast mock ballots through SVP in an effort designed to encourage them to vote when they turn 18. Well over a year ago, MPs were briefed by the Chief Electoral Officer that, in the 2015 election, Elections Canada would continue to expand its efforts to enhance voter turn-out by placing polling stations on over 20 university and college campuses across Canada, as well as in, or near, urban Aboriginal Friendship Centres or similar facilities. According to Craig Scott who was present during this briefing, the Conservative MPs were not pleased with this news. Based on this initial reaction, I would say that the voter suppression provision of C-23 should come as no surprise. In Part II of this column I will look at the other two themes: “Pretending to Fight Electoral Fraud” and “Worsening the Distorting Impact of Money Politics on Our Democracy”.

With your hands, firmly crush the mint leaves. Put them in a small nonreactive bowl or a large glass and pour the Vin Santo over them. Leave to soak for at least 30 minutes. With a citrus zester, remove the zest from one of the oranges in thin strips or remove the zest using a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler, taking care to avoid any of the bitter white pith, and then use a small, sharp knife to cut the zest crosswise into thin strips. Reserve the zest. To segment the oranges and grapefruit, first cut a slice off the top and bottom of each fruit just thick enough to expose the pulp beneath its membrane. Then, steadying a fruit on a cutting board on one of its cut ends, carefully slice off the peel in strips just thick enough to remove the outer membrane from each segment, following the fruit’s contour. Holding the fruit over a mixing bowl, carefully use a small, sharp knife to cut down along the membrane on either side of each segment, freeing the segment and letting it drop into the bowl. Hold a strainer over the bowl and pour the Vin Santo through it to remove the crushed mint leaves; discard the leaves. Add the reserved orange zest and stir gently to mix. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour. Garnish the salad with mint sprigs before serving.
Did you know?
Many countries have passed laws that legally mandate paid leaves for mothers of newborns. While some might expect the United States to be among those countries, working mothers in the United States are actually not guaranteed paid leave, though many companies offer it for a certain period of time anyway. In fact, according to the International Labour Organization, since 2010, when Australia passed its own parental leave law mandating paid leave, the United States has been the only industrialized nation that does not guarantee paid leave for mothers of newborns. No country is more generous to mothers of newborns with regard to paid leave than Russia, which allows mothers to take 140 days with 100 percent pay after their children are born. Brazil (100 days), France and Spain (112), Germany (98), and China (90) round out the top six, while Indonesia, India and Mexico mandate that new mothers receive 100 percent of their pay for 84 days after giving birth. Australia offers 126 days of paid leave at the federal minimum wage, while the United Kingdom offers 280 days of leave, the first six weeks of which are offered at full salary, while the remaining days are paid on a flat rate.

Visiting band entertains By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Elementary students at Similkameen Elementary Secondary School were treated to some delightful sounds with a performance by the Lansdowne Middle School Band and Choir from Victoria on May 1. The school prides itself on having one of the largest and most outstanding musical programs in B.C., and that was evident in the tightly disciplined nearly flawless performances of the school’s grade 8 band and choir. Band Instructor Nathan Georgesen said the school has 300 students in its music classes, and performed in the SESS Elementary gym with 60 band members. SESS music teacher Alyssa Hait did her practicum at Lansdowne School two years ago. “I taught the students that performed today when they were in grade six,”she said. “Lansdowne has a large music program-choir, strings, concert band, jazz band, and an Rhythm and Blues group.” “They came to perform for us due to my connection to the school-they are on a tour of Keremeos, Kelowna, and Vancouver where they will play at the opening of Playland on Saturday. Hait helped the visiting group out by playing piano for one of the choir’s presentations. SESS students could be seen tapping their feet and clapping their hands to the beat during the band’s performance, who played a bit of everything, from a pirate melody ( Pieces of eight) to Disney theme songs and modern music like Owl City’s “Fireflies”.
Terrific Kids for April at Similkameen Elementary were: (from left) James Watts, Blayre Bittner, Veronika Chaicomdee, Dayton Hockey, Tyanna Marjanovic and Tim Wiebe.
Members of the Lansdowne Middle School band and choir visited Similkameen Elementary last week, putting together a stellar performance. The band also played in Kelowna before heading back to Vancouver Island on the weekend.
Students of the Month for April at Similkameen Elementary were: (from left) Shannon Putric, Megan Reichl, Daxon Helm, Quinn Carignan, Yan Peron and Harjaap Bengag.

An investigation is underway to find out what was in Keremeos creek on Saturday, May 3. This photo, taken at the crossing under Middle Bench Road at 5:30 p.m. appears to be indicative of something dumped into the creek upstream. A short time after this photo was taken the river’s colour returned to normal.

A class of “Zentangled” inspired art took place on Saturday at the Anglican Church in Keremeos. Sponsored by the South Similkameen Art Society, Summerland art instructor Judith Cassidy taught her version of the art form, (known as Zen doodle) to nine interested artist on May 3. “It’s considered a calming, meditative art form,” Cassidy explained, “it provides a ritual way to meditate using repetitive stroke patterns.” Saturday’s class was Cassidy’s first in Keremeos.

Friends and family gathered at Cawston Hall Sunday, May 4 to help Hedy and Alex Munawych celebrate an increasingly rare event these days - a 70th wedding anniversary. The Keremeos couples’ lengthy life as a married couple was honoured by 80 guests, who came from B.C. and Alberta. “It was a nice event,” said son Ken, visiting his parents from Las Vegas. “It was an afternoon of congratulations and testimonials, and reminisces.” Hedy and Alex met on a blind date, - “one of the good ones”, said Hedy - marrying on April 30, 1944 in Edmonton. “Edmonton was home base for us, until we moved to Keremeos in 1990,” said Hedy. “After two months here, Edmon-
Board members elected at irrigation district AGM By Steve Arstad The Keremeos Irrigation District held its annual general meeting on April 30, with two trustee positions up for election. Approximately 50 people were in attendance for the meeting held at Victory Hall. The district reported its new reservoir is nearing completion, providing residents with an update on the project. Tax rates rose a modest two per cent over last year’s total tax and tolls, working out to an average of eight dollars per household. Three candidates vied for election to the board on Wednesday. Eileen Oliver-Bauer, Aaron Beauchamp and Roger Mayer stood for election, with Mayer and Beauchamp winning three year terms. An election to decide who will chair the board will be held in the coming weeks. Mayer acknowledged former KID Chair Ian Walters for his 25 years of service to the KID, presenting him with a parting gift.
Longtime Elks member mourned
The Elks Club and community members as a whole were saddened by the news of Joe Reichert’s sudden passing on May 2. Joe died late Friday following complications with pneumonia, which he had been fighting for several weeks. Joe was a fixture of the Keremeos Elks, and played an instrumental role in the annual Elks Rodeo, among other things. “We’re all deeply saddened by news of Joe’s death,” said fellow Elks member Mac Watson, “his passing will be greatly missed.”

Firefighters appreciate opportunities for socializing and public service
Not in it for the money By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Brian Helm, a five year veteran, is Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department’s Truck Lieutenant. “This is my second stint on the KVFD,” he explained, “I came back here after university, joined the department for a year and a half before moving away and then returning.” Helm finds satisfaction as a volunteer firefighter in the way it allows him to involve himself in the community. As the operator of a home based business, it provides him with the opportunity to network and socialize with other members of the community, as well as provide a helping hand. “I enjoy the social aspects of it,” he said, “since I work out of the house, it provides me with my social outlet.” “My dad was a firefighter here, too,” he said, “I enjoyed the initial experience I had here, so it was a no-brainer to come back.” Helm said he manages the time he spends in firehall activities “just fine.” “There is a feeling of additional responsibility when responding to a call during the week when member levels in the community are down,” he explained, noting in some cases the first member arriving in the firehall is often the one taking the command seat. “It’s rewarding when you can help someone out in the community,” he said. Helm agrees that most calls don’t come at personally opportune times, but said there is still a need and an obligation to try and answer the page. “What if it was happening to you, and no one came to help?” he asked, “I think it’s a good thing to know that someone in the community is available and willing to help in a time of need.” As far as compensation goes, Helm agrees if someone is in it for money, they
are in it for the wrong reason. “I lose money to go running out the door, as do others,” he said, “but at the same time, I must admit the stipend doesn’t go unnoticed at the times of the year when it is paid out.” Paul McLean has been a member of the Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department since 2002. “I had been retired for a year when I saw an ad in the paper recruiting firefighters,” he said, “I’m used to being active and involved, and I thought this would be something that would keep me involved in the community.” Because McLean is retired, he finds himself available much of the time. “I get my fair share of the work.” he said. Living in Keremeos also means he’s close to the firehall, and can get to the station pretty quickly when the pager goes off. “Guys that get on the first truck are often the ones operating it,” he said, “I really enjoy that aspect of it - being in a responsible position.” McLean said he enjoys the challenge of being forced to deal with things that go wrong, as can happen in an emergency situation. McLean said money is not a big part of the motivation when it comes to playing the role of a firefighter in the community. “There’s quite a bit of volunteer work necessary to do this,” he said, “it helps to get some remuneration. I’m satisfied with the amount.” McLean finds more motivation in “working with a good bunch of guys, a good team” - and in giving back to the community. “I find the service is a team effort with people that get along well,” he summarized, “it’s also mentally and physically challenging. It certainly fills a void in retirement.”
Similkameen ball teams begin season Contributed by John Weber The Similkameen minor baseball teams have started their seasons in the Penticton Minor Baseball League. The Peewee Reds have lost three close games to start the season but Coach Jodi Watts is sure the team is close to getting its first win. “ We have been improving and learning each game out. We have come a long way already this season and know that we will be competitive and get some wins soon. Everybody’s having fun.” The Mosquito Pirates lost their season opener by one run but then swept a doubleheader last Saturday in Penticton to improve to 2-1. Co-Coach John Weber said “We have a lot of really good athletes on this team that are just learning baseball skills. Its been fun to watch them improve every time out and I think we will be a force to contend with this season.” “Pitching is a strength of ours” commented Co-Coach Shawn Carter. “ We have a number of kids who can throw strikes consistently and that gives us an edge”. The team is playing its first tournament of the season this weekend in Penticton. Kobau Park has had one of its diamonds transformed into a baseball field and the teams will be hosting a number of games there in May. Upcoming games at Kobau Park Friday May 16, 6 p.m. Mosquito Pirates Saturday May 17, Peewee Reds, noon and 2 p.m. (doubleheader) Saturday May 24,10 a.m. and noon – Peewee Reds (doubleheader) 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. – Mosquito Pirates (doubleheader).

Elks first garage and flea market sale enjoy busy Saturday By Steve Arstad A steady stream of Saturday bargain hunters cruised through the Elks Hall and adjacent yard on May 3, during the Elks first garage and craft sale. Outdoor tables were rented for 10 dollars apiece, while indoor craft tables went for $15. “We’re doing well,” said Elks spokepserson Mac Watson, who was busy resupplying the grills. “We’ve sold double the breakfasts I had
predicted,” he added, “we’ve been steady since 7:30.” Last minute cancellations reduced the number of tables occupied by crafters inside the hall, which nonetheless had several artists, jewellery, knitting and wood crafters present. Keremeos Garden Club members were also part of the sale, holding their annual plant sale in conjunction with the event. The club uses the funds to support Garden Club field trips and tours.

Road resurfacing on sections of Highway 3 to begin in May By Steve Arstad Highway 3 road resurfacing will begin this month and is scheduled to be completed by late September, a media release from the Liberal government reported on April 30.

ALLERGY SEASON BEGINS
CALCIUM - LOOK BEYOND THE DAIRY AISLE By OK In Health According to the Harvard School of Public Health, the evidence is not clear that dairy products are the best source of calcium for most people. Calcium is key for healthy bones and getting enough calcium helps build bones as we grow from children to adults and calcium helps slow the loss of bone as we get older. While calcium and dairy are beneficial by lowering the risk of osteoporosis and colon cancer, the negatives of high intake include increasing the risk of prostate cancer and possibly ovarian cancer, as well as actually weakening bones if there are high levels of saturated fat and retinol (Vitamin A). Harvard suggests a daily limit of one or two servings of milk and dairy foods, and less if you choose other sources of calcium. Calcium rich non-dairy foods include the following: Sardines: 321 mg in about 7 fillets Kale: 188 mg in 2 cups of raw veggie White Beans: 191 mg in 1 cup Seaweed: 126 mg in about 1 cup Dried Figs: 107 mg in 8 whole figs Turnip Greens: 197 mg in 1 cup cooked Sesame Seeds: 88 mg in 1 cup cooked Bok Choy: 74 mg in 1 cup Almonds: 72 mg in 1/4 cup dry roasted Oranges: 65 mg in 1 medium fruit
The month of May is usually when allergies to pollen begin to be noticed. The beauties of spring often bring misery to those with hay fever and similar allergies. It doesn’t have to be this way. It’s difficult to live life by avoiding the pollens that cause the allergies. However, there are many effective medications that can control your symptoms. Our pharmacists would be happy to advise you.
ALCOHOL AND DRUG INTERACTIONS
Alcohol does interact with many drugs but for antibiotics the interactions are few. Pharmacists will certainly inform you, when it’s important, with an auxiliary label on the prescription bottle and will reinforce it verbally at the counter. These labels give important information about your prescription and should be heeded.
KALE IS FULL OF GOOD THINGS
It’s a good thing to include green leafy vegetables in our daily diet. One of these veggies that doesn’t get the attention it deserves is kale. It contains healthy amounts of antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, potassium and vitamins A, C, E and K. If kale isn’t part of your diet, give it a try.
REDUCING STOMACH ACID
There are some very good medications available to reduce stomach acid and heartburn. If you find yourself without your medication and have bad heartburn, you may find relief from drinking a glass of water. The water will reduce the stomach acidity and bring temporary relief till you can take your medication. It’s important to be an advocate for your own health. Be an active learner about all health matters including the drugs you take. We can help you with this information.
FOLGERS COFFEE
Remember to get your vitamin D along with the calcium, because the body requires vitamin D to help absorb the calcium. Other ways to build and maintain bone strength include regular exercise, especially weight-bearing (e.g., walking, jogging), and avoid getting too much retinol (Vitamin A). Do not go overboard on fortified milk, energy bars and breakfast cereals, as they can be high in vitamin A.
