Similkameen listed as endangered By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The Peace dominates BC’s 2014 most endangered rivers list while the Fraser near Chilliwack, the Similkameen, the Pennask and Callaghan Creek were added this year. The outdoor Recreation Council of B.C. released its annual report on endangered rivers in B.C. on May 20, pointing at the Similkameen River as one of five waterways placed on the list. The group claims the main reason for this year’s designation is due to a pro-
posal by Fortis Inc. to build the Canyon Dam, located fifteen kilometers south of Princeton. The council’s report states the size of the Canyon Dam would be significant, with a reservoir up to 35 kilometers long. “Its construction is estimated to destroy the canyon’s ecosystem which has significant wildlife values while also supporting various fish species including rainbow trout, whitefish and dolly varden, the report stated. “The dam would inundate about 800 hectares. From a recreational perspective, this part of the Similkameen is nationally
renowned as a paddling destination and is a striking and very beautiful part of river,” said Mark Angelo, Rivers Chair for the Outdoor Recreation Council (ORC) of British Columbia. “Clearly, the dam would have significant adverse impacts from an environmental and recreational perspective” The Outdoor Recreation Council of B.C. describes itself as working on behalf of about 40 provincial member groups, representing more than 100,000 individuals, as well as the general public, to protect the outdoor recreation way of life in B.C.

Council Briefs
Keremeos Village Council received letters from the Ministry of Justice regarding earthquake preparedness in the village. Province wide consultations are taking place regarding the subject across the province. The nearest session to Keremeos will occur in Kelowna on May 29. A request for a proclamation for Access Awareness Day was made by the Social Planning and Research Council of B.C. Coumcl proclaimed Saturday, June 7 as Access Awareness Day in the village. Staff reports Staff provided council with an updated operating agreement between Fortis BC Energy Inc. and the village for the provision of gas distribution facilities within village limits. The new agreement removes Fortis’ exclusive right to provide gas distribution facilities within the village and decreases the term of the agreement from 21 to 20 years. Fortis pays a fee of three per cent of its Keremeos revenue to the village in exchange for the ability to construct and maintain gas distribution infrastructure using village roads and rights of way. Public Works Foreman’s Report The village’s public works department is preparing for a busy summer, with one staff member on parental leave until mid October. It is expected the village public works foreman will be spending more time out of the office performing maintenance duties while inside staff assist with maintenance clerical work. Municipal Waste Water Treatment Staff were recently re-trained as they continue to provide the Ministry of Environment with groundwater samples as per MOE permit requirements. The village is pondering their next move following the failure of the number two sludge pump. A new pump will cost $20,000 while the cost to rebuild the old one is estimated at $19,000. Lift station work in the village will continue this year after the village received a report from Associated Engineering outlining the current conditions and risk assessments of the lift stations. Capital project update The village recently took delivery of a 2014 Ford F550 truck. Village staff helped cut costs on the recent construction of the village’s park washrooms by dismantling the buildings and assisting in painting, foundation excavation, sod laying and other duties. Victory Hall washroom upgrades are underway. Roads, streets and sidewalks Road improvements this year include rebuilding of Fourth Street from Twelfth to Eleventh Avenue along with the sidewalk, and storm drainage and parking area rebuild on Sixth Avenue between Seventh and Sixth Street. Staff are meeting with engineers to review plans and develop tender packages. Engineers are currently developing plans to deal with the deteriorating water mains and service connections in the downtown core from Fourth Street to Eighth Street, and from Sixth Avenue to Veterans Avenue.There may be funding available for this work through the Gas Tax Program.

Heritage Players perform outdoor play at the Grist Mill Contributed “Dirty Work at the Stopping Place” played to audiences outdoors Sunday May 11 and Sunday May 18 at The Keremeos Grist Mill and Gardens. The Heritage Players have refashioned and performed the late Victorian melodrama as their first venture. The amateur theatre ensemble formed this spring to bring old time entertainment to audiences at The Grist Mill and at other venues in the Similkameen and South Okana-
gan. They intend to add short musical pieces, dance, poetry and spoof to the mix as they move through to the Summer season We’re a partnership of Similkameen Family Literacy and The Grist Mill Heritage Club”, says troupe coordinator, Dave Cursons of Cawston. The Heritage Club is a committee of the non-profit Grist Mill Foundation and Similkameen Family Literacy is partly funded with BC Gaming Proceeds. The Heritage Players are avail-
able to perform for free, just asking for a donation to defray travel costs. The theatrical troupe presently consists of eight members and is putting out the call for more recruits. “We’d like each member to be able to step into a couple of acting roles as well as helping backstage”, says Cursons, who adds that the troupe will be looking for other short pieces with some historical elements that relate to the Similkameen Valley. Local playwrights are welcome to offer their work. Contact number for the Heritage Players is 250-499-5417.

Keremeos Legion update By Bev Remizove Keremeos Legion Past President
I am writing to tell everyone about things that have taken place at Keremeos Legion in the last 18 months. Gary Billion was elected president for 2013-2014 with such a good job done reelected for 2014-20015. He along with his good cooks are providing a dinner and dance night last Saturday of the month. With good food and good music from local bands this an inexpensive night out. Once a month a meat draw is given to a local organization. We supply the meat, you work the draw. You gain from it. What a deal. The least amount of workers you need is six. Bring all your friends and neighbours so you gain even more. Monday at 4:30 p.m. is the mini meat draw. This is about a two hour event with good sized meat packages as prizes. Drop in for this one, as your chances of winning are better then Saturday as the crowd is smaller. Monday and Thursday are still Gucci card nights. This seems to be catching on. Tuesday bingo draws a good crowd. The prizes consist of small packages of meat with five special games. This bingo game is free. Wednesday, dart night, is a little slower. There are only a few players, with more welcome at anytime. If you want to join, call Rick at the legion 250 499 5634. Friday events start at 4:30 p.m. Come out and help to harass Gary over his skills. Snacks are supplied. Cheap drink night is a bonus. The legion also has a few upcoming things planned that you may be interested in checking out. -Legion Week June 23 to 28: We hold a barbeque outside the legion office door, for the public to enjoy. We supply the hamburgers, hot dogs and all the fixings at no cost to you. Stop by for lunch on us and see who’s cooking. Just one of our ways of thanking you for supporting us. On Wednesday, June
25 we are honouring our first responders with a dinner. These are the volunteers who get the least amount of recognition for the service they provide to each of us. These are the ones who on a cold winter night get out of a warm bed to put out a fire, assist with a medical emergency, help find a lost person, assist the RCMP or help in the community when and where needed. They are there 24 hours a day seven days a week for all of us. So for all that they do for our community, we felt that a dinner in their honour would be a nice way of saying thanks. You can come and join them. Thank them for their support of our community. You can share a story with everyone as to how they may have helped you. In my family’s case they have been so helpful and I have appreciated the comfort so much. As you may know, our bar staff are volunteers. Bar staff is in short supply. We need a few good people, who have their food safe and serve it right certificates to help us out. If you could offer a day a week or even a couple we would really appreciate it. As of this moment we have Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday available, also some Fridays and Saturdays. With summer coming there is a real shortage. If you don’t have these certificates we can see about making arrangements to help you get them. Remember we support the local school scholarship program. If your child is graduating this year encourage them to submit an application for a scholarship (you don’t have to be a legion member to apply or a veterans child or grandchild. This is open to anyone and everyone). All application must be sent directly to the legion for consideration. The legion encourages you to come and see all our changes. These changes are from ceiling to floor. We thank Gary and his crew of volunteers for all the work and effort they have put in. We serve non alcoholic beverages as well. We ask everyone to drink responsibly and have a desiginated driver or a plan to get home safely.
Site of January rockslide under observation By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The site of a rockfall that took place on Highway 3 in late January has seen a minimal amount of activity as ministry officials continue to monitor the site. An earthen berm constructed in one of the highway’s westbound lanes and a reduced speed zone through the affected area has been in place since a number of rocks, some as big as a pickup truck, tumbled onto the roadbed around noon on January 27. A recent inquiry to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure regarding efforts to stabilize the site and reopen all four lanes of the highway was made by the Review after an incident during a heavy rain on May s4 resulted in more debris coming down on the highway.

Warm weather last week resulted in a rising Similkameen River, prompting transient campers to relocate their camps (photo, top) to the village side of the dike. The river had begun encroaching on the flats favoured by the transient tenters on the river side of the dike by late last week. Cooler temperatures last weekend slowed runoff, but warmer temperatures are expected to return by this weekend.

tor trailer unit was badly damaged when it struck a rock in the slide area, and the highway was closed for several hours while the ministry re-assessed the situation. The ministry described their present position with respect o the rock slide as follows: “The ministry assessed the site during the original rock fall in January, resulting in construction of a berm on the highway and implementing structured monitoring to reduce the risk of further rock falls affecting the highway and the safety of travellers. “The temporary berm has been successful at reducing rock fall on the road. The ministry’s geotechnical engineers are reviewing whether or not further modifications at this site are required while observing the site through the spring thaw. “Until that assessment is completed, we will leave the temporary berm in place and continue our monitoring process.”

Editorial Park debate not over
A commentary appearing in the May 20 edition of a large Vancouver daily regarding the proposed South Okanagan Similkameen Grasslands National Park Reserve may prove rankling to Similkameen residents who thought the issue dead. We suspect there might be some disagreement in the Similkameen to the statements and arguments put forward in the article, the writing of which appears to have been a collaborative effort between a number of special interest groups. There seems to be a tendency amongst those enthusiastically supporting a national park in the area to gloss over the concerns of those whose livelihoods would be most affected by the creation of a national park in the neighbourhood. Present day assurances and guarantees of grandfathered rights for activities that basically make or break a national park’s philisophical reason for being just don’t sit well with those who know only too well how rules of the game seem to change once a power - like Parks Canada - take control. There is also the issue, highlighted in recent news items, regarding the current economic disarray Parks Canada is currently mired in. The agency is having difficulty operating their existing infrastructure - so how can they take on new territory? The position portrayed by the article - that there is no more need for debate - presents a rather simplistic view of this issue to Lower Mainlanders, most of whom only see the issue as a means of environmental protection (without an awareness of the protection continuously being added to the park area that is presently occurring without damaging the existing economy). The province exhibited an insightful perspective when it halted discussions with the federal government over the park, realizing the incompatibility of such a proposal in an area that has seen development for over a century. The province also has a more thorough understanding of the whole debateenvironmentally and otherwise - surrounding the issue of a federally regulated park. It is our hope the province continues the path it is on, which is both practical and protective.

Gas price hardship drives more to conserve: Poll Pain at pumps spurs more walking, transit use By Jeff Nagel Black Press A new poll has found high gas prices are causing financial hardship for a majority of B.C. residents, many of whom say they’re driving less and trying alternatives like walking or transit more. The Insights West online survey in partnership with Black Press found two-thirds of respondents across the province have felt financial hardship from the recent rise in gas prices. Pump prices for regular gas climbed above $1.50 per litre in Metro Vancouver this week, up more than 20 per cent since early January. More Interior B.C.
residents cited hardship – 74 per cent – even though they don’t pay the extra 17-cent-alitre gas tax charged by TransLink in Metro Vancouver. Insights West vicepresident Mario Canseco said $1.50 per litre appears to be a psychological level where more people seek ways to cut their fuel consumption. “We’re seeing people saying it might be better to take the bus this afternoon, it might be better to walk or try to bike – essentially not to drive,” he said. Fifty-five per cent of poll respondents across B.C. said they’re already driving less than usual, while 27 per cent said they’re walking more and 19 per cent said they’re taking public transit more. (Twentysix per cent in the Lower Mainland said they’re taking transit more.) While it’s helpful that gas prices tend to spike in spring and sum-
mer, when the weather is more conducive to walking or biking than December, Canseco believes that’s coincidence. “They’re not doing it because it’s lovely outside, they’re doing it because they’re feeling the pain when they gas up.” The poll also uncovered refueling habits of those surveyed. It may not sound like a winning strategy, but a large number of respondents – 38 per cent – said they’ve refueled with less gas than usual lately, possibly in hopes of lower prices the next time. Just over half said they buy at gas stations that give them loyalty reward points, while far fewer respondents said they use a station close to home or work (20 per cent), or they buy at any station when they run low (10 per cent.) Sixteen per cent said they don’t own a car. The poll also found

widespread belief that gas taxes are too high, that B.C. stations charge more than ones elsewhere in Canada, and 91 per cent said they believe gas stations take advantage of motorists by raising prices just before a long weekend. “There’s a high number of people who look at the service stations as gougers,” Canseco said. Just four per cent said they’ve considered selling their vehicle and switching to a more fuel efficient one. Canseco said he believes that will change over time as electric car prices come down. The poll didn’t ask the more than 800 respondents if they regularly drive to the U.S. to refuel with cheaper gas. But Canseco said a previous poll on crossborder shopping habits showed gas savings is one of the top reasons why Lower Mainland residents frequently head south.

Someone needs to take ownership of public works projects Politics one reason why public projects go awry By Dermid Travis Integrity BC In 2012, local governments across B.C. spent more than $8 billion and it’s a pretty safe bet that a good chunk of it was spent on infrastructure projects. Most of the projects flew under the provincial radar. Out of sight, out of mind. Cost overruns rarely made a media ripple outside of the affected community. Yet, through various cost sharing formulas, we’re all on the hook for them, whether it’s the Vancouver Convention Centre expansion or new roads in Campbell River. It’s why a recent audit by B.C.’s new auditor general for local governments, Basia Ruta, should raise some red flags. Last month – in the office’s first ever performance audit of local government procurement – Ruta stated that “the integrity of the capital procurement process in Rossland has been compromised and many of the transactions we reviewed did not meet the standards taxpayers would expect of their local government.” Strong stuff. Ruta also cherry-picked Sechelt’s new Water Resource Centre (euphemism for sewage treatment plant) as one of five other performance audits her office is now undertaking. No surprise. What started out as a $10 million facility five years ago has morphed into a $25 million boondoggle that’s still devouring cash. Under Sechelt’s original plan, the existing facility’s downtown site was to be sold for redevelopment to help fund the new plant which was to be built on an industrial site on the outskirts of town. Then council did an about face and announced that the new plant would be built on the existing site after all. And although he vehemently denies it, the fact that the mayor’s $1.16-million home is only a few hundred metres from that industrial site undoubtedly had little to do with council’s change of heart. Sechelt’s new plant has a capacity of 4,000 cubic metres per day. Just down the coast in Gibsons, they built a 6,000 cubic metres per day plant for $5.4 million in 2005.
However, ratepayers can take some solace in the mayor’s belief that the sewage plant will be a tourist attraction, giving rise to a possible new tourism pitch: “come for the scenery, stay for the smell.” Then there’s the mother of all sewage treatment plants: the $782.7 million Capital Regional District Core Area Wastewater Treatment Program or CAWTP for short. CAWTP has run into two small snags: a secret real estate deal that didn’t work out so well once it wasn’t so secret and Esquimalt council giving a firm thumbs down to the CRD’s rezoning application for McLoughlin Point. To date CAWTP has eaten up $65 million of its budget without so much as a sod-turning ceremony or for that matter a site to turn sod on. Costs may increase by a further $13.7 million to pay for barging construction materials in and adding a new oxidation treatment. Meanwhile, Victoria is also looking for answers as to how its $92.8 million Johnson St. bridge replacement project ballooned in price by $7.9 million before a girder has been put in place. Other B.C. communities face infrastructure problems of a different kind. Lillooet, population 2,322, will soon have a new $10.1 million water plant with a capacity of 5.9 million litres a day. Someone must see big things for “B.C.’s little nugget,” because according to Environment Canada the average residential water use in Canada was 274 litres per person per day in 2009. So why do so many projects in B.C. go over budget while others seem so out of whack with a community’s needs? Partly, parochial politics. As the mayor of one Lower Mainland community wrote on his Facebook page about one project: “This isn’t a city project, so I have little to do with it (and therefore no reason to defend it).” To his credit he did. Local councils could also help matters by not concluding multimillion dollar deals entirely behind closed doors. Sunlight goes a long way to achieving buy-in and if ratepayers don’t feel part of the process from day one, chances are they’ll fight it every step of the way starting day two. And finally, just as too many cooks can spoil the broth, too many bosses can wreak havoc with public works budgets. Every project needs one official who takes ownership of it: from design to ribbon cutting.

Hedley Supports Church Bottle Drive
community
New chef at the mill
By Art Martens livingsignifiicantly.ca When people began arriving at the Hedley Fire Hall Saturday morning for the spring bottle drive, they were amazed at the imposing mound of black garbage bags piled in front of the hall. The bags were full of bottles and cans, waiting for volunteers to sort them. Sponsored and organized by the Hedley Grace Church, the event is enthusiastically supported by many in the community. People save their empties for both the spring and fall drives. They seemingly like the fact that the funds will be used to send children and youth from the community to summer camp. Fortunately it was a bright, pleasant day and volunteers for 15 years, has plans to keep things fresh By Steve Arstad could work outside or at a long table inside the fire hall. at the mill this summer.

Lady Joyce Schnieder wearing a wedding dress and hat that dates back more than 100 years. Ladies of the Keremeos Royal Purple Lodge hosted Friendship Day on April 27 with ladies from the Keremeos and Oliver lodges. As this year marked the Order’s 100th birthday, some of the ladies dressed in their interpretation of what a lady of that era might wear. It was very interesting to see all the different outfits. Coffe and tea were served along with fancy sandwiches, Welsh Oat cakes, scones with jam, followed by strawberry shortcake. The ladies then broke up into teams and played games that would have been played in 1914.
Over 3500 BC 55+ Seniors expected to attend.

Keremeos and District Volunteer firefighters responded to a burning complaint in Cawston on May 20. A number of prohibited items were believed to have been burned in the fire. The KVFD would like to remind residents that it is illegal to burn plastics, and many other manufactured items in outdoor burn piles.
Regional district board meeting notes
Add water purveyors to gas tax funding list Area “D” Director Tom Siddon spoke to the regional district Corporate Services Committee on May 22 about an emerging regional issue concerning irrigation district funding. Siddon told the board that increasing pressure on irrigation districts and other water purveyors to adhere to Interior Health’s 4-3-2-1-0 drinking water regulation or face having their water systems labelled “inadequate” meant increasing need for these water purveyors to have access to higher levels of funding. “Maybe we should be considering private water purveyors and irrigation districts for future uses of the gas tax,” Siddon suggested, Chief Administrative Officer Bill Newell agreed that such consideration could be made through the four main funding programs that make up the Gas Tax Fund, “as long as it meets the criteria of the program.” Fortis representatives discuss Similkameen dam project Fortis representatives spoke to the regional district’s corporate services committee about the proposed Similkameen dam project. Committee members appeared to favour the proposal, which would see the creation of a 150 metre high, 500 metre long dam built. A 20 kilometre, 154,000 acre foot reservoir would also be created upstream of Copper Mountain Mine west of Princeton. Area “D” Director Tom Siddon expressed a wish to see Fortis pay attention to the potential upstream benefits a reservoir would create, noting the need to remove trees and prepare the reservoir site prior to flooding. Osoyoos Mayor Stu Wells noted the downstream benefits in his community with respect to mitigation of flooding events on Osoyoos Lake, also pointing out the potentially profitable investment the dam could have for Fortis, Inc. Princeton rural Director Brad Hope admitted he was “struggling” with the dam proposal, asking if the power derived would become part of the Fortis BC rate base. Fortis Project Manager Joseph Sukhnandan told the

committee the power would go into the power grid for distribution anywhere in the province. Fortis officials noted that under present economic conditions, power generation alone would not be enough to make the project economically feasible. The company was in the process of negotiating with potential downstream benefactors in the U.S., in the hope of acquiring additional funding. Rock Chip Repairs! Police report $25 for the first, $10/additional An independent report of a review of the region’s (no ICBC claims) Crime Stoppers program is expected to be completed any day now, RCMP Superintendent Kevin Hewco reported to regional district Protective Services Committee members. Hewco said he hoped to use the report to develop a strategy with which to better use resources like Citizens on Patrol, Speed Watch and the Crime Stoppers programs. Graduation 2014 Creating a safer community: Special Supplement: discussion Regional district directors would like to look at funding a regional police program that “gets away from being reactive to being proactive.” Deadline: June 13 Run Date: June 19 The program, which may become part of next year’s budget, is envisioned to deliver similar services to each community in the regional district, using a consultative approach that utilizes community knowledge and volunteer support. For more information The regional district does not currently have a service related call the Review at to crime prevention or community policing.

According to TGB Enterprises in Burlington, Ontario, kitchen renovations are the most popular home improvement projects. Renovating a kitchen is a great way to increase the value and also the functionality of a home. The National Kitchen & Bath Association’s latest market report says that, in the first three months of 2012, the number of homeowners who started a kitchen renovation was up more than 50 percent from the previous quarter. A kitchen is a central gathering place and is one of the most popular family gathering spots in the house. With traditional dining rooms being eliminated in favor of open, eat-in kitchens and entertaining spaces, more attention than ever is now placed on a well-designed kitchen. The average remodeling budget for a kitchen renovation exceeds $30,000. But there are ways to keep budgets in check. * Do some of the work yourself to reduce money spent on labor costs. * Consider laminate flooring and counters, which will look like real stone but at a fraction of the cost. * Skip custom cabinetry in lieu of stock units. They’re more attractive than ever before and don’t require the wait time of custom-ordered cabinets. * Choose less expensive, mid-range appliances that may function better than or equal to high-end models. * Plan layout accurately and spend time reviewing your designs. Late changes in a remodel can quickly eat up a budget.

Kaleden - Skaha Estates sewer system a small step closer to reality By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The Kaleden and Skaha Estates Sewer System took a step - albeit a small one - closer to reality recently after the regional district Environment and Infrastructure Committee approved the project for submission to the Building Canada Plan (NBCP) . Describing the estimated $12,000,000 cost of the project “on the low side”, Chief Administrative Officer Bill Newell advised the board “not to ask for the moon” when making a selection to the Building Canada Program, a new grant program that replaced the Building Canada Plan grant program that expired in March. CAO Newell suggested more than one project submitted to the NBCP may weaken the application.
Area “D” Director Tom Siddon pondered the question of where the regional district could best put the money to use, noting that water quality was a regional issue, where “what we do with water affects every director downstream.” The committee expressed widespread support for the project, which topped a list of 12 potential choices prepared by staff for submission. Some discussion by the directors centred around a proposal to break the project into two stages in order to better secure an opportunity for funding, but, it was pointed out, cost efficiencies would best be realized through a single stage approach to construction. The Kaleden /Skaha Estates project is currently in the preliminary design stages. The project calls for an extension of the existing Okangan Falls sewage line north to the communities of Skaha Estates
on the east side of Skaha Lake, and the lower, shoreline portion of Kaleden, on the west side of the lake. Other sewer system projects submitted included West Bench and Sage Mesa Sewer System ($30,000,000), Gallagher Lake ($500,000) and Sawmill Road Sewers ($5,000,000) in the Oliver area and the Tulameen Sewer system ($10,000,000). Similkameen based projects offered in the list included Olalla Water System Treatment, Tulameen Sewer System, Dikes in Keremeos, Tulameen Water System, and Olalla Flood Protection. The committe approved the Kaleden and Skaha Estates Sewer System as its number one priority project for submission to the new Building Canada Plan.

The regional district had no severance agreements under which payment was made during the fiscal year 2013. Seventeen employees of the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen were paid remuneration and expenses of $75,000 or more in 2013. The number of employees making in excess of the $75,000 threshold is up from 14 in 2012.

FENG SHUI AND NUMEROLOGY By Skye MacLachlan In Feng Shui numerology, the numbers are not added (as in Western Numerology) but are analyzed individually. The number 1 can represent honor and being a great leader, but usually it indicates loneliness. The number 2 is a happy number that represents couples, the concept of yin and yang and doubling your happiness. Pay particular attention to the number that follows the 2, as this will indicate luck (for example 28 which is double prosperity) or a lack of luck (for example 24 which means easy to die). The number 3 represents growth and aliveness. The number 4 is the most unlucky as it represents death. Try to avoid home addresses or telephone numbers that end with the number 4. The number 5 represents nothing. However, it becomes lucky when paired with 6, becoming 56 and meaning ‘nothing but wealth’. The number 6 is an extremely popular number, it represents wealth. It can sometimes also indicate a long life. The number 7 is a very powerful magical number with deep mythological roots. For example, there are seven chakras, seven days of the week, seven color rays. The number 8 is very fortunate. It is considered to be a fertile number and will attract wealth to those who use it. The number 9 is one of the luckiest numbers because it represents longevity. It is also a very mystical number, no matter how many times it is multiplied, it always returns to itself. For example, 9x6=54, 5+4=9. It represents the fullness of both heavenly and earthly luck. When combining numbers (such as a house number or phone number), it is good to have a balance of yin and yang numbers. Yin numbers are 2,4,6,8. Yang numbers are 1,3,5,7,9. When you have a balance of yin and yang numbers, you will tend to be energetic during the day and sleep well at night. If you have too many yin numbers, you will lack energy and drive. If you have too many yang numbers, you will be too focused on ‘doing’ and will have difficulty with sleep and feeling rested. Business phone numbers and addresses should have more yang numbers so that the phone never stops ringing and business is good. Best wishes for an enjoyable month, filled with both heavenly and earthly luck for you.
UNDERSTANDING DIABETES IMPORTANT Diabetes is one disease which is important for the patient to understand fully. Having one-on-one instruction from a diabetes educator is an important part of reaching this goal. It has been shown that those diabetics who understand their diabetes will manage it better. MARIJUANA & RISK OF PSYCHOSIS People who smoke marijuana in their youth appear to be more at risk of psychoses and schizophrenia later in life. Two thousand young people that smoked marijuana at least 5 times were found to be 5 times more likely to develop psychosis during the next ten years. Food for thought. HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS The idea that all herbal supplements are safe because they are natural is not always true. We always recommend you tell your doctor and pharmacist what herbals you take on a regular basis because there are some herbs that can interact with some drugs like warfarin (used as an anti-clotting agent for some heart problems). Herbs like dong quai, garlic, ginkgo, ginseng and St. John’s wort are examples. ALCOHOL VS. GOOD NIGHT SLEEP Alcohol and a good night’s sleep are not compatible. If you aren’t sleeping well, look at your alcohol intake. Older women seem to be more affected with poor sleeps after alcohol than men. Try without for a while and see if your sleep improves.
Take charge of your own health and your family’s health. Let our pharmacists be part of your health team.

More funding for defibrillator access will help save lives Province of B.C. press release The government of British Columbia is investing an additional $1 million in partnership with the Heart and Stroke Foundation to expand the Public Access to Defibrillation program and help save lives. The additional funding will support the place-
ment of more automated external defibrillators (AEDs), for a total of up to 750 AEDs in a variety of public venues throughout B.C., including community centres, arenas, recreation centres, playing fields, libraries and sports centres. The Ministry of Health and the Heart and Stroke Foundation originally each contributed $1 million to the program. The program officially launched in February 2013. The foundation will
be fundraising to match the Province’s $1-million contribution, for a total of $4 million supporting the program. The program will donate one or more automated external defibrillators to every municipality in British Columbia, depending on population size. Currently, 175 AEDs have been placed in 82 communities throughout the province.
