The Province of B.C. recently issued a Request for Proposal to lease the Grist Mill properties. In an effort to make provincially owned heritage properties self-sufficient, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Resource Operations developed the RFP for the purpose of selecting a succsssful proponent with whom to negotiate a lease agreement. The ministry hopes to attract “local governments, First Nations, School Districts, individuals, businesses, organizations or a combination of the above” with a proposal for use of the Grist Mill property. The site is presently operated as a museum under the management of Chris Mathieson, under a general services contract which ends in March 2015. The RFP does not stipulate the property be used as a historic site, only that the “new use will be economically viable, will have a public benefit component, will not depend on the government financially, or will significantly reduce financial dependence on the government.” Deadline for proposals is September 26. Present operator Chris Mathieson would not comment on the RFP .

Directors seek updates on Similkameen dam proposal By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Regional District Okanagan Similkameen Directors discussed the Fortis Similkameen dam proposal during committee meetings on August 7. Princeton Director Frank Armitage, West Bench Director Michael Brydon and Princeton rural Director Brad Hope insisted the board meet regularly with Fortis officials in order to be kept up to date with respect to the company’s intentions with the dam proposal. “We need to know where we’re at, and where we intend to go,” said Armitage. He insisted the board, as representatives of the region, needed to be fully informed about the project. “We should be talking to Fortis about this on a regular
basis,” he said, “we need to get our homework done, and, let’s talk about revenue sharing, too.” Brydon agreed, noting the dam proposal was being considered by private shareholders and “their rationale”. He questioned the apparent policy of the provincial government to get out of the dam building business, describing the situation as one where the province, providing regulatory control, should be responsible for doing a cost benefit analysis for the residents of B.C. “Let me hear from Fortis, but let me also hear from the Governement of British Columbia, that they’re on the job. I don’t want to hear, ‘oh, we’re doing budget cuts, we haven’t looked at it, we don’t have staff, we haven’t had time to look at what the long term
consequences are.’” Director Hope expressed his concerns regarding regulatory control, alluding to the recent Imperial Metals dam breech at its Mount Polley Mine near Williams Lake. “As board directors, we need to know as much as we can about a project like this,” he added. “I’ve been trying for three years to find out from Fortis where the revenue was going to be generated from, and this last meeting was virtually the first time that was mentioned.” Board Chair Mark Pendergraft advised the board of Fortis’ intention to speak to the issue in the coming weeks. He recommended the board wait until that time before requiring an official status update on the continued on page 3

ALS Cycle of Hope ride concludes in Keremeos Keremeos marks the official end of the road for ALS ride, now in its third year By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s Disease) Cycle of Hope ride arrived at its final destination in Keremeos Wednesday, August 13. The riders congregated in front of the Infocentre sign upon their arrival in Keremeos, sharing an emotional few minutes with each other as they ended their eight day journey. The ride’s mission, to raise ALS awareness and inspire hope for families living with ALS, appears to be achieving its goal. In just three years the ride has gone from $5,000 raised in the first year to over $55,000 this year. Ride co- founder Cindy Lister was pleased and excited about this year’s success. “We have 12 riders this year, a few of whom rode with us last year,” Lister said shortly after her arrival in Keremeos around 10:30 a.m. “Each rider has been affected by ALS to some degree.

Editorial Electorate paying a high price for “spin doctors” Anyone thinking that facts and truthful statements are flowing more freely from federal offices would be shocked to read a recent report from Gregory Thomas of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation regarding Ottawa’s “spin doctor” salaries. Thomas claims information services staff on the federal payroll cost taxpayers 263 million last year. “Canadians are seeing their money – a quarter billion dollars’ worth – used against them: not to provide them with information, but rather to delay, conceal and spin the information, so as to enhance the image of the party in power,” Thomas says. Many working in the media would probably have a hard time disagreeing with Thomas’ comments. The provincial government has set themselves up, media - wise, in a fashion similar to the federal government by forcing all enquiries of a goverment agent or department to a communications officer. Most of the time these media relations people know little about the issue in question. They have to contact those involved, find out the facts and then “spin the gospel” back to the person making the inquiry. It’s more often than not a pointless exercise, as information is santized, neutralized and made so generic as to be mostly useless. Every government office, in every community, that has permanent staff should have someone qualified to speak to the public and answer questions pertaining to their business., someone who can do so honestly and directly. It’s ridiculous to think that farming questions off to a media figure within an organization is going to provide citizens with better or more truthful information regarding local issues. The policy has nothing to do with clarity or openess; it’s an expensive burden on the taxpayer, providing bafflegab but little else.

Random thoughts on the end of summer By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com It’s with a heavy heart that I’m watching August wind down, and with it, for all intents and purposes, our summer season. Sure, we can usually count on some nice weather in September, but August, to me, is the month that breaks the back of summer. I can see our daylight declining on an almost daily basis now - some nights it’s dark well before 9 p.m., and it is now a dusky dawn at 6 a.m., instead of the full daylight of a month ago. For the past several weeks, it has been ‘way too hot to tackle many yard chores; now they’re looming in front of me when I get home, and now that it is cooling off, I have no more excuses not to do them. It’s a drag. With a change in the weather this week, it re-
ally looks like the super hot weather is done for the year. Time to start putting away the water toys, I guess. The garden is starting to look like late stage summer as well. I planted squash, cantelope, cucumbers and zucchini this spring, but for some strange reason, only the zucchini grew. It grew very well. I have zucchini coming out of places zucchini shouldn’t even be. I’ve taken a couple of bags in to give to my fellow co-workers, and to make things interesting, asked them each a mildly skill testing question, without letting them know what they could win. “Congratulations,” I told each of them as they easily answered the question put to them. “You’ve won a zucchini!” I found myself thinking I should have asked harder questions. If they
answered incorrectly, they’d have to take two zucchini. At any rate, the vegetable is piling up in the office. They need to take their winnings home. Other than for my zucchini, I don’t have a lot of extra vegetables to offer. That’s generally the case; I’m usually lucky if enough comes up to feed my wife and myself for a few meals. I like the idea of growing a garden; I don’t much care for gardening itself. You’re bent over most of the time, fighting weeds that grow far more easily than your vegetables, and constantly having to monitor for pests and diseases. It’s a full time job, and generally by mid summer the weeds have taken over, leaving only the hardiest of my plantings to survive. The end of summer also comes with it a feeling of impending doom.

I think that might be a carry over from my school days, when I would begin to dread the prospect of returning for another school year. This year must be even more stressful on those still going to public school, as we’ve heard no word on how the negotiations with the province and the teachers are going. Finally, as the month winds down, I’m seeing less and less activity on Seventh Avenue. It’s as though people’s attention has turned away from relaxing, and killing time with a cup of coffee at Emmy’s, a hot dog at Rob’s or a beer at the Branding Iron or the Wrong Turn Tavern. As summer comes to an end, it looks like we’re turning to more serious matters than just hanging out. And that’s probably the number one thing that makes this part of the year such a bummer.

Slide area repairs to begin in September Two phase plan will provide concrete barrier and restore highway to four lanes By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Eight months after a major rock slide temporarily closed Highway 3 between Hedley and Keremeos, work to construct a concrete barrier at the slide area is scheduled to begin in September. In response to recent inquiries by the Review to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, a media spokesperson said Monday that a long term safety improvement plan was being formulated to prevent rockfall from reaching the highway, in addition to eventually restoring the road to four lanes. Information released through Freedom of Information requests by the Keremeos Review and Penticton Western also chronicled the history of rockfalls in the slide
area, in addition to the ministry’s risk assessment of the slide zone. In the days following the January 27, 2014 rockslide nine kilometres west of Keremeos, highway officials anticipated the earthen berm placed in the highway’s westbound slow lane would remain in place at least until a warm weather event occurred. An email sent on January 30, 2014, by Jeff Wiseman, Penticton Operations Manager for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, to Argo Road Maintenance outlined the traffic protocols to be initiated prior to the highway opening that evening after being closed for four days due to the original rockslide. Originally, the criteria outlined for keeping the highway open involved the the establishment of a light plant to supply lighting to the area, in addition to flaggers and a spotter who would “close monitor” the slide area. In the case of a rockfall event of up to two cubic metres, all traffic through the area would be

stopped and the area monitored for further events for 30 minutes. If no more rock fell, the highway would reopen. If more than two cubic metres fell, all traffic would be stopped and the highway closed until a geotechnical assessment could be carried out. If no activity was reported during the first weekend following the Friday evening opening, an enhanced patrol, consisting of a patrol once every four hours. The light plants and a loader would remain in place to remove any rockfall material. The ministry then waited for a warm cycle to occur, anticpating if the slope remained stable, a normal patrol of the road (once every 24 hours) would be reinstated. “Once a warm weather event has occurred and the slope remains inactive for rock fall, the ministry will then advise Argo that the protective berm can be removed and work can begin to restore the highway to its previous four lane capacity, repairing all damage caused by the rock fall incident at that Friday
time,” the email concluded. Subsequent rock slides quickly negated those plans, however. On February 19, March 5 and again on April 16, minor rock slides occurred at the site. No other significant events occurred at the slide area until the evening of May 4, when, during a heavy rainfall, a couple of boulders tumbled down the mountainside, damaging a tractor trailer. Another rockslide occurred on Friday, June 13 again following heavy rains, this time damaging two more vehicles.

Kaleden and forestry firefighters responded quickly to a wild fire on White Lake Road on August 13.
Another wildfire on White Lake Road Fire broke out in an wooded area that had been fuel modified by the Forest Service more than twenty years ago By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department and B.C. Forest Service firefighters spent several hours fighting a wild fire on White Lake Road. The fire broke out at approximately 3:30 p.m., and was located about one and a half kilometres south of the junction of Highway 97 and White Lake Road. Kaleden was not initially called to the fire, as dispatch originally contacted Willowbrook Volunteer Fire Department, based on their determination of the location of the blaze. Several minutes passed prior to Kaleden being dispatched, who were on scene in six minutes. The blaze began on the shoulder of White Lake Road and quickly spread into an adja-
cent forested area. Ground crews were aided by two helicopters, each of which made two drops on the fire. Kaleden firefighter Dennis Gaudry, who is also a retired Forest Service firefighter, said the area was fuel modified - trees thinned and underbrush cleaned up - in the late 1980s or early 1990s. “Even though the work was done that long ago, it was evident from the fire behaviour that this fire could still be effectively handled by ground personnel using fire hose,” he said, ranking the fire as a “two and a half, with attitude.” In spite of the fire’s aggressive behaviour, there was little in the way of fuels on the forest floor to allow it to “ladder” into the trees. The fire was contained at approximately 0.15 hectares, with the nearest structures at least several hundred metres away. Investigators were brought in to help determine the exact cause of the fire, which is considered to be person caused. There has been several wildfires in the area around White Lake in the past three years, all believed to have been person caused.
Thanks for taking time to clean up lakes To the Editor: I wish to say thank you to the person or persons who took their time and cleaned up the garbage at Ripley, Madden and Sawmill Lakes. It really looks 100 per cent better than the last time we were there. The ducks are swimming, the turtles are
sunning themselves on logs and the mother bear and cubs are nowhere to be seen, and nature is getting back to normal. Let’s keep the lakes and back woods clean of people’s garbage. Thank you once again, there are still some caring people out there after all. Wendy Cordel, Keremeos

Clean up of Keremeos Hotel site underway Workers make preparations to dispose of asbestos products from the wreckage of the Keremeos Hotel fire last week.
“It’s a mess,” said project manager for Peak Environmental’s Doug Gillett, surveying the Keremeos Hotel property on August 12. Peak Environmental began the onerous job of clean up of the Keremeos Hotel property this week. The 108 year old Keremeos landmark went up in flames on July 14. The company had an excavator and five employees working the site on Tuesday, separating contaminated materials from non-contaminated materials. Gillett said a portion of the Red Bridge Pub had been identified as having hazardous materials - asbestos - in the drywall mud and in flooring materials. Monitors and pumps had been set up at the work site and across the road at MyTown Realty to gauge asbestos particles in the air. The burned material was being kept in a dampened state as the excavator pulled the materials apart. “The air quality results are analyzed and a daily report summary prepared,” Gillett said, “It’s all about safety.” Workers, wearing white coveralls and using replaceable filter masks, were disposing of contaminated materials into two dumpsters fitted with a plastic lining. Other materials - concrete, metals, dry, unburned wood and burned wood were separated and placed in separate piles along the east side of the property. Peak Environmental expects to be on site for 10 days to two weeks to complete the cleanup.

REMODELING INSURANCE CAN PROTECT HOMEOWNERS
ALL DESIGNS, PLANS AND RENDERINGS © COPYRIGHT JENISH HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED
Many steps are involved in a successful home remodeling project. A common mistake made by homeowners is failing to consult with a homeowners’ insurance agent before beginning a major home overhaul. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners advises reviewing your home insurance policy before any significant work is done on your home. The right amount of coverage will protect your assets both during construction and afterward when your home is worth more. According to the independent consumer insurance Web site Insure.com, one in four remodeling projects will increase the value of a home by more than 25 percent, so there’s a good chance you will need to increase your coverage to compensate for renovations done on the home. Many insurance companies require you to insure your home for at least 80 percent of its replacement value. If you have added an extension or installed an inground pool, you may have raised the value of your property enough to necessitate an insurance policy change. Begin by talking with your insurance company and explain the scope of the planned renovations. Inquire whether you will need to update or amend your current insurance policy to protect yourself financially during the renovation. This is particularly important for those who will be doing the work themselves or asking a friend or family member for help. While many contractors have business and general liability insurance to protect themselves if a worker is injured, homeowners may need sufficient liability protection in the event a non-contractor gets hurt working on your home. Your insurance company may have other types of insurance to protect you further if you are planning a very large project. Failure to ask about coverage before starting the renovations puts you at risk. If you will be using contractors and subcontractors, be sure that they are insured and bonded. Should they damage your home or be injured during the renovation, their insurance will cover any resulting expenses. However, if they are not insured or bonded, you may be held liable through your own insurance policy or you may have to pay out of pocket. Keep all receipts and document the progress of the renovation. You may need this information to present to your insurance carrier after the renovation is complete. This way you can request a new appraisal of the property and secure adequate insurance coverage. Certain improvements may make you eligible for discounts. For example, a new heating system, energy efficient appliances or an alarm system may qualify you for rebates or lower premiums. Homeowners may think they have covered all of their bases when preparing for a home renovation project.

It also noted the rock was originating from 400 to 500 metres above the highway. The ministry told the Review in late May “The temporary berm has been successful at reducing rock fall on the road.

The work is expected to begin in mid-September. -Phase two involves the excavation of the upper slope to create a wider ditch, a

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.

ECSTASY The drug ecstasy is an illegal recreational drug used by some young people. Even one or two doses of this drug can result in long-term sleep problems. Over 70% of users report having disturbed sleep because the drug, being a stimulant, resets the body’s clock which often resets at the wrong time. Mood disorders can also occur. ORIGINATED FROM NATURE Many of the drugs we use today originated from nature. It’s always interesting when a common product like thyme, formulated into a tincture, is gound to have antibacterial effects that may make it useful in treating acne. It’s far from being available on our shelves for that purpose but it does show promise. ANTIBIOTICS HAVE SAVED MILLIONS Antibiotics have saved millions of lives since the discovery of penicillin in the 1940s. In 1900, the three main causes of death were tuberculosis, pneumonia and enteritis (intestinal infections). Antibiotics have reduced the threat of these medical problems immensely. When you receive an antibiotic prescription, our pharmacists will ensure you know how to make it work best for you. We help you understand how it works for you.
