Fire destroys venerable Keremeos hotel Landmark historic building gutted in massive blaze By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Busy night at the Grist Mill See page 9, 10
It’s all gone. The Red Bridge Pub, the Keremeos Hotel Liquor Store and the 7th Street Diner were destroyed by fire in Keremeos on Monday morning, July 14. The Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department was called to the scene at approximately 8:20 a.m. “I could see a red glow inside the main front door”(of the bar) said Fire Chief Jordy
Bosscha, who arrived on scene initially. He said the fire hadn’t yet breached the building at that point, but it appeared obvious to him that the inside had been involved for some time. He also checked the front door of the 7th Street Diner, in the same building, but found it to be cold at that time. The main body of the fire department arrived on scene within minutes, to find the fire had broken out of the building and was spreading with ferocious speed down the front of the building. Several hose lines, including the department’s engine mounted monitor was brought to bear immediately, but there was no stopping the flames that started rolling out of the
front windows. The initial attack slowed the visible flames along the front of the building but did nothing to quench the inferno burning inside. Mutual aid was called immediately, with fire crews arriving from Kaleden and Osoyoos. Together they battled the flames for nearly four hours, but in spite of their efforts, the building was completely gutted. The fire emitted huge plumes of acrid, grey and black smoke for several hours, at times blanketing parts of the village and making breathing difficult. An excavator was brought in around mid-morning to take walls down and allow continued on page 3

Tree to Me hosts weekend lavender celebration By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Tree to Me’s first “Celebration of Lavender took place this past weekend. Activities started on Saturday, July 12 with a yoga session in the lavender patch, followed by a storytime session, courtesy of Keremeos librarian Debra Holley. A scavenger hunt and music by the Corner Turtles rounded out the morning activities. Gift Shop Manager Julie Ellison
said things were busy in the morning, but the afternoon’s soaring temperatures resulted in a slower afternoon. She finished the day’s events with a demonstration of lavender distilling, extracting essential lavender oil from Tree to Me’s lavender patch. The lavender oil is used in soap, bath salts and sugar scrubs. Culinary lavender is used by Tree to Me to make cookies and slushies. A fifteen gallon distilling unit was rendering approximately 90 millilitres of lavender oil late Saturday afternoon under Tree to Me’s
Fire destroys Keremeos Hotel /continued from page 1 firefighters better access. Their progress was hampered by the shear severity of the blaze, which prevented an interior attack. Fears of collapsing walls and roofs meant firefighters had to keep back, which also limited the reach of their hose streams. By noon hour there was little remained of the historic building but a sprawling pile of rubble. Dozens of residents gathered on Seventh and on Veterans Avenue to watch the conflagration. Police cordoned off Seventh Street at Seventh Avenue as well as the back alleys south of Seventh Avenue. Power was cut to a portion of the downtown section of Keremeos at 9:17 a.m., leaving a number of downtown businesses in the dark until early afternoon. No one is believed to have been in the building at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported by fire crews. Members of BC Ambulance set up a rehab unit to monitor firefighters who spent much of the day battling the fire. Several firefighters were treated for dehydration. Keremeos Hotel Liquor Store manager Laurel Dierdorff wept along with other employees of the businessess as they watched their livelihood go up in flames. “A lot of sweat and hard work went into that building,” an emotional Dierdorf said Monday afternoon as she watched firefighters cool the wreckage while an excavator tore apart what remained of the building. “We’re all devastated.”

recently built overhang, located in the parking lot. “The lavender is harvested in the morning, left to dry for four hours, then distilled,” Ellison explained. Tree to Me harvests lavender from more than 1,000 plants located on the property. Events continued Sunday at Tree to Me, which included a guided meditation session in the lavender patch, a portrait drawing workshop, and a barbeque lunch. In the afternoon, there was outdoor classical music with wine tasting by Eau Vivre, and high tea in the cafe.
It’s the end of an era,” said Bill Irvine, who owned the building. “It was built in 1906 - just about everyone who ever lived in Keremeos, or who passed through the village can remember an experience in there.” “We put a lot into the building to make sure it was up to standards and safe,” Irvine said. Neither he nor Dierdorf could say how it might have started. Twenty employees have lost their place of employment as a result of the fire, Irvine said, noting three businesses were destroyed. The building was insured, and he expressed a desire to rebuild and get back to business as soon as possible. “You wake up in the morning, thinking it’s going to be a normal day,” he said, “but you never know what’s going to happen.” The Keremeos Hotel was one of the village’s oldest and most historic buildings. Over the years it has been extensively renovated. Speculation swirled on the streets of Keremeos Monday afternoon as to the fire’s cause, with several residents blaming it on lightning. Around the time the fire was noticed, there were several lightning strikes in the Keremeos and Cawston area. One strike started a grass fire west of Keremeos that was eventually put out by forestry. The hotel fire’s cause is currently under investigation.

Transient issues spark large turnout to council meeting
news
By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Photo by Steve Arstad
Transient camper issues sparked one of the largest citizen’s turnouts to council chambers in years at the July 7 regular meeting of council. At the centre of the meeting was the presentation of a 200 -plus signature petition presented by Keremeos resident Ted Douglas, in a delegation that also included fellow resident Marty Menzies. The gallery was packed, with several resisents choosing to sit on the floor, while others stood in the hallways. Many fanned themselves with copies of the evening’s agenda, as the building’s climate control system wasn’t working properly on Monday night. Douglas’ petition accused public officials of inaction in dealing with the transient issue, saying the transients had developed a “sense of entitlement” as a result of a failure to enforce bylaws. He said the petition was an indication of Keremeos residents’ desire to “rid the community of the problem once and for all.” The petition noted such problems as downstream contamination from lack of hygienic facilities, camping on the floodplain, and difficulty differentiating between farmworkers and non-farmworkers as issues that needed to be resolved, through increased RCMP prescence and further involvement
by Interior Health and the Ministry of Environment. It also cited regulations that restricted the number of days camping on Crown land was allowed, insisting that anyone exceeding the time period be forcibly removed. Douglas also said staff and council were not doing enough, insisting action be taken immediately. Marty Menzies took a more moderate tone, declaring the problem as an annual one that wasn’t being looked after. He noted there “wasn’t an easy fix” to the issue, but made several recommendations aimed at rectifying the problem, including such things as hiring additional bylaw enforcement officers, joint land use agreements with the regional district, protecting the aquifer and stepped up RCMP patrols. In summing up, Menzies added, “The general feeling
Ted Douglas and Marty Menzies discuss their issues with the perennial transient problem at the July 7 Keremeos council meeting. is a uniform frustration that council needs to do more for the taxpayers of this village and they need to do it expediently to alleviate the problem in the future.” He also recommended a working group be set up, along with a timeline for results. Mayor Bauer offered limited response, saying the arguments had “all been heard before.” “It’s a difficult subject. I’ve made presentations to three different ministries - nobody wants to touch it,” Bauer explained, adding MLA Linda Larson was also looking into it. “There are no enforcement mechanisms in place. We’ve attempted to address these concerns with respect to Interior Health bylaws, with no success,” he said. The issue was also on the agenda

later in the evening, with a staff report to council advising them of conclusions following a meeting which took place July 2, involving the RCMP, village, and Regional District Okanagan Similkameen staff. Among the conclusions reached was an agreement that a long term solution to provide transient workers with facilities needed to be found. In the meantime, however, it was agreed the RDOS would work with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure as well as the B.C. Transportation Financing Authority to get approval to allow the RCMP to enforce laws on their property. It was also agreed to remove the boulders restricting access to the Burlington Northern rail trail and arrangements made for the RDOS
to provide keys for the bollard to allow access to the trail beyond the dike, allowing transients temporary access to that portion of the trail. In voting in favour of staff’s recommendation to request the RDOS work with the village towards a short term solution to the trasient issue by removing the bollard and placing a dumpster near the trail, Councillor Arlow told the gallery the problem was not strictly a local one, noting the Loose Bay Campground in Oliver had a litany of issues. Mayor Bauer pointed out the RCMP had not had many complaints with respect to transients, commenting resolving the issue was being carried out down an “obstacle rich road” “Everyone is passing the buck,” he said.

The Review
Publisher: Don Kendall 605 7th Avenue, Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial Monday’s fire left nothing but memories Heartwrenching is one way to describe Monday morning’s fire in Keremeos. The fire beleagured community was victim to another conflagration early on July 14 when the historic Keremeos Hotel erupted in a maelstrom of fire and smoke. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the fire. Monday’s fire marks the third business fire this year, on top of several private residences that have gone up in smoke over the past year. Twenty residents are out of work with three businesses destroyed by the flames. All this is taking place during what is traditionally one of the busier times of the year for the Keremeos retail sector. One couldn’t blame Keremeos residents - or the fire department - for wondering what they did to deserve such bad luck, or when this current cycle of fire activity will cease. The venerable old building that burned Monday was one of the first commercial structures built in what was, in 1906, the third version of the Keremeos townsite, having moved from the upper bench flats near present day Bears Fruit Stand when hotel owner George Kirby realized the coming railway would be built on the level ground near the river. The Keremeos Hotel holds a special place in the hearts of many in the area. As one Facebook comment noted, “a lot of good and foggy memories came out of that bar.” The business survived 108 years in many different forms, but it was always a place of comfort and pleasure to the many who stayed in its accommodations or drank at its bar. Monday, July 14 was a sad day in Keremeos. We feel for the employees who lost jobs, and the business and property owners who lost their property today. We can only wish for a quick resolution to today’s damage, and hopefully a speedy rebuilding.

THE
Letting drivers set speed limits ByTom Fletcher Black Press
“Fast is the new slow,” declared one Toronto newspaper’s front page when the B.C. government announced it is increasing speed limits around the province. The headline picked up on Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s justification for raising limits on 35 stretches of rural B.C. highway. Stone referred to traffic studies that show portions of the highway system where the vast majority of drivers already travel at the new speeds. Stone emphasized that accident risk is not so much a function of speed, but of differences in speed between vehicles. That’s why the signs going up this summer will include a new warning for left lane hogs: “Keep Right – Let Others Pass.” For the first time, there is a 120 km/h limit on three segments of rural divided highway, parts of the Coquihalla, the Okanagan
Connector and a stretch between Parksville and Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Having regularly driven up and down the B.C. Interior highway system for the past 30 years, I can confirm that particularly once you get “beyond Hope,” drivers do set the speed limit. In good conditions, it’s generally about 10 km over the posted maximum, particularly in the long spaces between communities where resources to do regular speed enforcement simply don’t exist. Improvements in the road system, and the modern vehicles that drive it, have been enormous. The Fraser canyon offers some of the harshest road-building conditions in Canada, but even portions of that cliff-hanging, rockand-tunnel road are getting increases from 90 to 100 km/h. There are two common assumptions about this move. One is that increasing the speed limit means people will automatically
drive faster. The other is that higher speeds mean more accidents, or at least more severe accidents. The government downplayed opposition to this change, which Stone signalled last fall when he launched the public consultation. Police agencies don’t like it. ICBC officials are skeptical to say the least. ICBC’s latest rate increase was attributed mostly to cost pressure from higher injury payouts, and it will be tracking the sections of higher speed limit to see if the number of severe accidents goes up. Speed wasn’t singled out when interim ICBC boss Mark Blucher made the case for an increase of nearly five per cent on basic insurance last fall. One reason why claims for bodily injury, pain and suffering, future care and loss of earnings are going up is that more people are hiring lawyers. Another reason is distraction, not just from mobile devices but also more

pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas. A recent report out of Saskatchewan suggests drivers are getting worse. In 2013, only 48 per cent of new drivers in Saskatchewan passed their road test. The test hasn’t changed much in the past decade, and there are more immigrants who aren’t accustomed to highway driving, North America style. But a veteran driving instructor calls today’s new drivers “the weakest generation I’ve ever taught,” after they spent their formative passenger years watching TV or playing with game machines and other screens while on the road. “The awareness level isn’t where it was when I started 15 years ago,” Margot Podiluk told the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix. “Today’s generation, they’re so connected to electronic devices they don’t look out of car windows.” If raising speed limits is a mistake, accident statistics will soon tell the tale.

Citizen offers thanks for assistance with petition To the Editor: To all the residents of Keremeos, thank you for graciously accepting my presence in your homes, signing my petition, listening to my presentation, and receiving views and opinions on the transient problem and the resultant feed back received in presentation of my submission to the council meeting of July 7. To the 47 residents who were not home at the time of my calling, I am sorry I missed you. To the six residents who chose to disagree,
thank you for your reasons in doing so. In the July 10 issue of the Review it was stated that I had refused to speak to a member of the transient community. This is incorrect. I have never been approached, nor would I refrain from talking to any member of the public, transient, picker or otherwise. The Review has been notified of this inaccuracy. My personal opinion is that this council does not possess the capacity or the abililty in solving this
very difficult problem. Reference a comment from the village CAO, “ I don’t know what we are going to do” (Review, July 03/14). On November 15 we as taxpayers of this village have an opportunity to express our democratic right by our vote at the ballot box. I urge you to do so. Maybe we can change the present culture at the village hall, after all “change is just as good as a rest”. Once again, thank you. Ted Douglas, Keremeos

Residents seek clarification regarding transient issues following council meeting By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com During question period, following the July 7 regular meeting of council, residents asked several questions pertaining to transient issues in the community. Council was questioned about the inclusion of porta-potties along with a dumpster at the end of Veterans Avenue. Mayor Bauer replied it would be discussed along with other requests to the regional district. A resident noted that the community was “where we were three years ago” with respect to the issue. Another resident wanted to know why parking couldn’t be enforced at the end of Veterans Avenue. In a written response to the question, Mayor Bauer said that “Any parking or bylaw enforcement on the old Burlington Northern rail bed needs to be implemented by
the RDOS with the permission of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Conspicuously absent from the council meeting on July 7, and discussion over the transient issue itself was Area “G” Director Angelique Wood. Bauer said Wood was responsible for the river flats currently being used as a campground, adding the site is Crown land with multiple jurisdictions including the RDOS the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations. Bauer further clarified the RDOS holds the lease for the trail from the Finance Authority under the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Area “G” Director Angelique Wood can be reached at: 250-292-8082, cell 250-499-0503, or email at:awood@rdos.bc.ca Edtor’s note: In last week’s story
“Itinerant campers have their say” a camper was quoted as saying that he wished to speak to Ted Douglas about the petition but Douglas refused to speak to him. “At no time did one of the campers approach me to speak about the issue,” Douglas said this week, “ I would SIMILKAMEEN CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP welcome the opportunity Pastor: Don Bodden 250-499-6513 to talk to any Worship Service - 10:30 a.m. one of them about it.” ST.

Keremeos fruit grower squeezing into new markets By Steve Arstad Mobilejuicing.com was in Keremeos on July 10, processing cherries at Parsons Fruit Stand. Kristen and Remo Trovato have modified their mobile juicing machinery to handle fruits other than apples in a bid to extend their juicing season by a couple of months. “We’re targetting cherries, but we can do other berries,” said Kristen Trovato. “We can also produce fruit pulp from plums, peaches and apricots.” The Trovatos employ a two stage method to process berry crops. First the fruit is pulped, then an enzyme is added to break down pectin. A couple of days later the juice it siphoned out. Quentin Parsons is hoping to ac-
cess new markets with the product. “This is our first time making cherry juice,” he said. “I have restaurants in Banff, Lake Louise and Calgary that I can supply. We’ll see if we can develop a new product.” Parsons has juiced apples and pears in previous years. The cherries used for juicing are either picked specifically for the purpose, or come off the sorting line as seconds, presenting Parsons with a value added opportunity for culls. Two thousand litres of cherry pulp will result in 1,200 of juice, possibly more.

In return, we are sometimes able to shed some light to the families about little known, but revered past relatives.” English and Douglass both noted that only three of the Hedley recruits were married. “Most of those who died left only nieces and nephews,” they observed. The lives of two men credited with being Hedley recruits are more familiarly associated with Keremeos, English also discovered. William Liddicoat - whose name is first on the attestation papers - “he led the charge,” said English - and Blair Mills, were actually from Keremeos but worked at the Nickel Plate. William Liddicoat moved to Keremeos after the war, (family members still residing here include former Keremeos Mayor Francis Peck) but Blair Mills died the same year he enlisted, at 19 years of age. Curiously, in his attestation papers, Mills is listed as being of the “apparent age” of 18. One of the problems with researching the Hedley Gazette has to do with the demise of the newspaper early in the war. “We have all these wonderful stories of the Hedley soldiers, including letters written to their families,” English said, “but the newspaper ceased publication in 1917 after the 44 year old editor enlisted.” Perhaps the most profound element coming out of English and Douglass’ research into Hedley’s largely forgotten soldiers is the realization of the small community’s contribution to the Great War. “Basically, Hedley’s population in 1915 was the same as it is today, around 400,” English said, “so on that one day - on August 24, 1915 just over four per cent of the population enlisted. “Nationally, about 660,000 Canadians were involved in the war, and roughly 60,000 were killed - roughly nine per cent of those enlisted. Hedley’s numbers at this point - we’ve researched 50 names, all but one voluntarily having enlisted - with 11 killed in action, puts Hedley’s losses at 22 per cent. “I feel there are more conscipts out there - Jack Lorenzetto was the only conscript (drafted) that we are aware of at this time. The data base is still being built.” English also noted a large number of Hedley men made officer’s rank. “The more you look at it the more you realize, this was a remarkable group of men,” he said. English and Douglass continue their research, with plans to expand the exhibit. Increasingly, they are receiving emails and visits from family members of the soldiers whose lives they have rediscovered, as their respective families attempt to find out more about relatives previously only known from sketchy family lore. This August 4, the anniversary of the start of the First World War, will see English and Douglass present their findings at the Seniors Centre in Hedley. Plans are also in the works for a talk at the Grist Mill in Keremeos on Sunday, August 17 at 1:30 p.m. The two plan to continue their research and add to the museum exhibit, which is expected to run for four years. They hope to restore the cenotaph, as well as correct some errors discovered, in addition to adding more information.Their research has triggered a number of family contacts initiated and interviewed through telephone and email. “It’s quite amazing, really,” said English, “in researching Hedley’s soldiers, I’ve discovered the history of the war could be traced through the lives of the Hedley participants. “The more we find out, the more we are able to give new meaning to the lives of these men, and to their remaining families.”

FAST FACTS ABOUT GRASS A lush, green lawn is coveted by many current and would-be homeowners. Not only can a beautiful landscape make a home feel more welcoming, but it also increases the resale value of a property. Frequent watering, proper fertilization, pest management, and mowing are all essential components of lawn maintenance. But there is more to those beautiful blades of grass than just aesthetic appeal. The following are some interesting facts about grass that even the most devoted lawn enthusiasts might be surprised to learn. * Grass is defined as any plant of the family Gramineae, a group of vascular plants that grow across the globe. * There are as many as 10,000 varieties of grass in the world. These range from grass to rice to wheat to bamboo. * Many grasses are annual or perennial herbs with fibrous roots and rhizomes. * Grass can withstand many different climates and has been discovered at the North Pole and at the equator. * Twenty percent of Earth’s vegetation is comprised of grass. * Grasses have been transformed into paper and home decor items. Bamboo, which is a type of grass, is frequently used for flooring because it is durable and sustainable. * Grass is mostly comprised of water, which makes up about 80 percent of grass and 90 percent of grass clippings. * A typical lawn will have about six grass plants per square inch. Some lawns may have millions of grass plants. * The average lawn releases enough oxygen to sustain four families of four.

Good old fashioned neighbourly fun in Olalla on the weekend
By Tammy Hartfield Jean and Rick Mackie from Hedley brought their vendor trailer “Mmm Popcorn” to the Olalla Trash to Treasures event on July 12 and said that this year was great.”We sold out of many items due to the good turn out”.
There was dancing in the street as Shindigger provided entertainment for the crowd. The Keremeos Volunteer Fire Department was on hand to talk about fire safety. They also provided a “cooling off” to those who wanted to participate.
Their Ambassador candidate, Téa Hartfield, was also on hand and assisted with the prize draws at the end of the event. SASSY was well received with an area set up for arts and crafts for the kids to do. Event organizers were
very pleased with the second annual “Trash to Treasure” day in Olalla. They felt this year was a great success as they saw a large increase in visitors over last year, including out of town visitors who said they will be back again next year.
Keremeos Ambassador Téa Hartfield presented Flo Winfrey with her winnings from the 5050 draw on July 12.

It has been a while since I have written anything concerning the farm worker housing issue. Let me start by saying this is a reoccurring phenomenon which has existed for the past 30 years or more, ever since the farmer began to bring in help from outside the valley - and we are still trying to find solutions. I will try and bring forward the different ideas which have been tried and discussed in the past as well as some ideas for the future. I hope this sheds some light and some inspiration to those who are willing to look at this situation once again. For many years I have wondered what it would be like to create a campground for the many workers who come into the valley. I had imagined that it would be a place for newly arriving workers to have a safe sanctuary for a few days before they could find a job and have a place to stay in between jobs. When the Keremeos community complained about the workers camping at Pine Park I took it upon myself to establish one on Crown land further down the river with some help from the Keremeos municipality, Regional District Okanagan Similkameen Areas “B” and “G”, the BCFruit Growers Association, local societies and individuals who donated time and money towards this endeavour. Here is what I have learned from running it for two seasons: The campground allowed many farmers to shirk their responsibility of housing their workers. I provided a camp so they felt they didn’t have to provide anything at all, or little provisions. It created a place for those undesirables (ones who are not workers) to come to the camp and set up their own camp within a camp. These individuals were found to be disruptive and aggressive within the camp, stealing from the “farm workers” and making a bad image for the legitimate worker within the community. There is no way to distinguish the difference between the farm workers and these undesirables by appearance. Without the proper facilities such as potable water, showers, etc., it was difficult to get a lease on the land (within Area “G”) Without this in place the squatters felt they had control over the camp and made it difficult for me to have any such policing in effect. There is a provision for squatters’ rights which the RCMP provided a copy where by a person may camp on crown land for two weeks. Once established the campsite was turned into a party destination with people coming from all over the Okanagan, leaving the porta potties filled to the brim and extra garbage in and around the dumpsters which I provided for the camp, all to be dealt with by the meager funds available. The minimum fee of $1/night was ignored by these party goers. These and many other issues brought me to conclude that a campground does not address the issue of housing for farm workers. I have come to realize that the farm worker situation could be alleviated if a few things were done:
- If a contract for temporary Canadian workers, a contract similar to the foreign workers contract where by the farmer must provide housing, showers, and cooking facilities for these workers as well the workers are committed for whatever time frame the two parties agree upon. - Make available a six month contract and a short term contract for those Canadian workers as well, similar to the foreign workers contract. Both the Industry and the Federal Government could work on this contract for implementation and give incentive tax breaks to the farmers. The agricultural industry could help promote this within its realm through their memberships etc. This system would give all farm workers an even playing field. It would help the farmer to bring in extra workers for the cherries, apples and grapes, which is sorely needed for short periods of time. The foreign workers and Canadian workers who have the six month contracts would stay in place and the temporary short term workers could feel secure in their surroundings on the farm as well. Along with the YWCA employment service I propose to create an interactive website which matches up the farm worker with the farmer’s needs for employment. They both would register, answer some pertinent questions then contacts could be made initially through the site whereby the farm worker and farmer can be interviewed online or by phone. The farm workers could be in any part of the world while searching for a job and establishing a secure placing before they come to the valley. Setting up a job with proper housing would bring the agricultural industry into the 21st Century. There would be no need for a farmworkers campground at this point. The website would cost considerably less than the many employment offices scattered throughout the province. I have visited the website that the B.C. government has established, and it is not updated enough, nor is it interactive. There is a program in place which some of the farmers engage in as well WWOOF (Willing Workers of Organic Farms) in which people who are travelling around the world who want to have a working vacation registers on the site as does the host/ farmer. The traveller sets up an itinerary according to the placements on these sites, this way they have a definite destination which will provide them a place to stay with meals for exchange of work on the farms. When the traveller is ready to move on they can stay at a hostel or move on to the next WWOOF placement. Accommodations for farm workers don’t have to be elaborate, the farmer can establish a hot water on demand unit with a simple wooden structure outside for a shower and a small travel trailer could provide a cooking facility. I have printed out plans for the shower - if anyone wants a copy, please send your request to: Doe Gregoire fourwinds@nethop.net These initiatives would bring the work force of a multimillion dollar industry into the civilized world. The conditions for workers would upgrade from third world conditions to modern times, isn’t it about time that Canada bring this industry into the 21st century?

A LOVE FOR LAVENDER By Michelle Cubin PART I Lavender, mostly known for its beautiful relaxing scent, often seen in sachets and spas, is so much more that a pretty smell. This purple scented flower, native to the Mediterranean, has countless unknown healing properties. I have spent years enjoying the scent of lavender- diffusing it, adding it to the bath for relaxation, however, it wasn’t till recently that I learned how useful this little miracle really is. In the early 1900’s a French scientist, Rene Gattefosse burned his hand in a libratory, having nothing else around to put out the flame, he immersed his hand in a container of lavender, only to find that the pain dissipated immediately. He then put lavender on it daily and within a short time, it healed free of scarring. Amazed, he went on to study the beautiful plant and found it had chemical constituents, or chemical properties, it was Gattefosse that coined the phrase ‘aromatherpie’ in 1920. Out on our first camping trip, I spent a little too much time soaking up the sun, only to waken the next morning with quite a burn on my nose and lips. I kept applying chap stick over and over as I had never quite felt my lips so sore. Upon taking a closer look in the mirror, I discovered my lips were actually blistering from the burn-- taking a quick peek in my aromatherapy bible, I saw that lavender was the best solution so I dabbed it on, undiluted, and instantly felt relief after 3 days of suffering. Later on, I dabbed a bit more on and by suppertime, blisters were gone and lips were fine. Excited at my new discovery, I had a client come in who had just had laser surgery on a birthmark, this was her second surgery in the last year to remove the mark. She had a small map of burns across her cheek and was applying a over the counter brand to help it. I quickly blended her a mixture of lavender with a small amount of grape seed oil, she dabbed it on and was also surprised how quickly the burning sensation dissipated. The following day, I received and email from her saying that she woke up to find the laser marks almost half healed, contrary to the weeks it took on her last surgery. There are many amazing healing properties of all essential oils but in this time of ‘quick fixes’ and ‘prescriptions’ being our first instinct, a lot of the value of essential oils go unnoticed, or what I find when talking to people, is that they just didn’t know about it, didn’t think it was possible that a natural product from Mother Earth could work as well as a manufactured one. What I am finding on my essential oil journey is that more often than not, these little blessings, essential oils, work faster and more effectively.

The length of time heat should be applied is 20 - 30 minutes per session. Heat is helpful in reducing muscle spasms and arthritic back and neck pain. Heat shouldn’t be used on a new injury, open wounds or infections or swollen or inflamed areas. RESTAURANTS AND NUTRITIONAL INFO Since 20% of Canadians’ weekly food intake comes from restaurant meals there is a move to have more nutritional information available on menus or for the asking. Since some meals are high in calories and sodium and since hypertension and obesity are real health problems in Canada, this information may help people make better choices when eating out. ZINC OXIDE BEST PROTECTION Zinc oxide gives the best protection against both UVA and UVB light rays that can damage the skin. A 20% zinc oxide paste provides this protection but it is visible after application and not too acceptable to many people. However for those highly exposed areas like the ears and under the eyes in might be a real option. Our pharmacists can help you solve your summer medical problems.
