Cupcakes steal the culinary show
Andrea DeMeer
Keremeos Ambassadors Jamie Nugteren, Jamie Forner and Tea Hartfield were the icing on the cake of a very successful Taste of Our Valley event held Saturday night. While the evening was a fundraiser for the Similkameen Country Development Association, the young women raised more than $200 for the Ambassador program through cupcake sales. Tara Bowie Review Saff
Like a good wine, the annual Similkameen Country Taste of our Valley event is robust and elicits warm feelings in all those attend. The 18th edition of the annual event drew in one of its largest crowds to date with about 200 people attending the tasting event last Saturday at Victory Hall. “It was incredible. It was an incredible evening,” Colleen Christensen, manager of Similkameen Country Development Association said Tuesday during an interview
with The Review. “We had so many vendors and all the wineries all supported us.” Although one of the area’s longer running events, Taste of our Valley never falls flat because the secret to its success is in the people who attend. “Taste of our Valley is very much a local celebration of fall. I would say, I knew 70 to 80 per cent of people that walked through the door,” she said. “It’s a time for everyone to catch up and enjoy each other.” Christensen said the two-hour event takes about a month in prep work and at least 14

volunteers the night of to pull it off. Volunteers taste the wines ahead of time, find items for the silent auction and perform a variety of other tasks. The food, which includes desserts, cheeses, and even sushi, is prepared and presented by a mix of not-for-profit groups in the community and local businesses. “Everything is local. That’s important to us. It gives people a chance to sample what groups, wineries and businesses have to offer,” she said. This year eight wineries took part in the
event. Staff from each winery poured and for $7 every patron of the event received tickets to taste four wines. There were also hot apple drinks available. The annual event is the major fundraiser for Similkameen Country Development Association. The association is now operating under winter hours and the office is closed Tuesdays and Sundays. Volunteers will soon be gearing up for its next event Light Up.

Increase in building permits indicates growth, improvement Tara Bowie Keremeos Review
Doubling up on permits might mean extra hours in the Building Inspection Services department next year. So far this year, 29 total building permits have been issued up from 13 the previous year during the same time period. “There is good news for Building Inspection Services. We’re up,” Laurie Taylor, Keremeos CAO said during a regularly scheduled council meeting Monday night. Coinciding with the permit number increase, revenue generated through permits is up, meaning for the first time in many years the program should bring in money instead of costing taxpayers. As Keremeos contracts building inspection services from the regional district the budget is kept relatively low at just $20,000 per year.
Fees of about $22,000 have been collected so far this year while last year just over $11,000 was collected. “This is a nice change,” Taylor said. The majority of the permits were issued for renovation projects while six new residential permits were issued. The new residential represents more than $1.4 million in total added value to the community. “It’s nice to see lots of people moving into town,” Mayor Manfred Bauer said. “When I talk to realtors they say the same thing... It’s nice to see things picking up again.” Bauer pointed to the town’s long list of amenities and climate as two of the largest draws for newcomers to the community choosing Keremeos to call home. The whopping increase although positive might mean an increase in staffing hours to meet the higher demand in building ser-
vices. In 2011, because of a drop in activity within the department, allotted building inspection hours were reduced to two half working days a week. During the second quarter of 2014 the department has taken an average of five to six appointments, nine to 10 inspections, 15 telephone inquiries and five to six walk-ins per week. “Increasing hours is something we will have to take look at,” Bauer said. A decision on increasing hours is expected sometime in 2015.

Media misses the boat on aboriginal reporting
Keeping a community accountable is one of a newspaper’s most important jobs. Some journalists refer to it as watchdogging. A paper watchdogs politicians, civic leaders, police and court officers, business owners –just about everybody. The idea that an indiscretion, abuse of power, or flagrant crime might end up on page one keeps people accountable for their actions and the positions of trust they hold. Really, the only establishment in this community or any other that is not watchdogged by the newspaper is… well... the newspaper itself. Who is watchdogging the watchdog, anyways? Certainly there are professional standards, newspaper companies have codes of ethics, British Columbia and other provinces have Press Councils, self-regulating boards promoting guidelines for fair reporting and hearing complaints from readers. There are also laws in place to protect people from libel, and invasion of privacy. But there really is no watchdog. And that means the industry sometimes drops the ball. The way it does with the reporting of Aboriginal affairs. With a few exceptions if journalists in this country were assessed only on how well they report First Nations issues, there would be a sudden and enormous swell in unemployment lines coast to coast. The first thing we do horribly wrong when reporting Aboriginal affairs is we don’t. We don’t report them. MediaSmarts, a centre for digital and media literacy, takes the business to serious task for this. According to its website “political and constitutional issues, forest fires, poverty, sexual abuse and drug addiction appear to be the only topics relating to Aboriginal communities that are reported in the news. Coverage of cultural activities may be found now and again in local media, but you have to pay close attention to find this.” When newspapers do focus on Aboriginal issues they often get them wrong, either from genuine ignorance or plain unchecked racial bias. The 1990 standoff at Oka, where Mohawks formed a barricade to protest the expansion of a golf course onto Native lands and burial grounds, is an embarrassing example. Media images of the barricade were so dominated by images of wild and lawless warriors, threatening violence and provoking fear, the government responded by deploying 4,000 soldiers and police. When the “warriors” surrendered after 78 days it was learned the protest consisted of 27 Aboriginal men, 18 Aboriginal women, six children, one non-native teenager and ten journalists. It was, sadly, a little late for the facts. There are not enough First Nations people working in mainstream media. A study conducted in 1994 by the Canadian Newspaper Association revealed out of 2620 journalists and editors working in 41 newspapers, only four people were Aboriginal. Journalism schools should do more recruiting among Aboriginals. The Canadian Community Newspaper Association, and its provincial member associations, should put greater focus on education and training for Aboriginal reporting. The conflict between Native and non-Native peoples in Canada began almost 500 years ago and it may take at least that long again make it better. Newspapers and other media have great power to create change through what they cover and how they cover it. Plain and simple we just need to do better. MediaSmarts.ca has a lot of great information on this issue, including on how media has bungled the coverage of missing Aboriginal women and how the entertainment industry has shaped misconceptions of First Nations people. Take a look. Get informed. Hold our feet to the fire on this. Watchdog us, will ya? -AD

Experiencing a delicious welcome to Keremeos Good day Keremeos. My name is Andrea, and I’m the new publisher and editor of your community newspaper. Some of you probably know that already. If nearly 30 years of working in the industry have taught me anything it is this: in tight-knit towns the presence of organized media is practically superfluous. Who needs a print product, website, Facebook page or Twitter account when people can as easily grab a cup of coffee and go for a walk? It’s quite humbling. On the subject of humble feelings there certainly are a few associated with accepting management of a paper like The Keremeos Review, a paper that is obviously engaged with its community and serving it well. There are big shoes to fill at The Review. If nearly three decades of work-
ing in the industry have taught me anything it is this: the newspaper business is sometimes wonderful and sometimes hard but it’s only constant – especially in recent years – is change. Mine is not the only new face in town this week. Tara Bowie, an award winning journalist and allround sweetheart from Norwich, Ontario joins The Review as associate editor. She arrived in the Similkameen Valley Saturday afternoon after a 3,000 mile drive. Reluctantly, I gave Tara Sunday off. However she covered her first Keremeos council meeting Monday night. I know some of the feelings Tara must be experiencing. I drove to BC three months ago – towing a husband, three of four children and a dog – to work for Black Press and publish the Similkameen Spotlight. I hope you like me, but there is no doubt in my mind you will love

from the pub Tara. She has been successful at small weeklies, as well as at a daily newspaper. She is passionate about supporting the community where she practices her craft – look for her flipping burgers or washing dishes at the next Legion fundraiser – and she is excited to be here. Tara’s specialties are reporting municipal and agricultural affairs – which makes her a perfect fit for Keremeos as there are lots of both here. At the Woodstock Sentinel
Review she grew the farm beat with enthusiasm. I can’t tell you the number of times over the years I’ve worked with Tara that’s she’s flown into my office with her hair on fire, all in an uproar because the bees are dying or the early frost is destroying the apple crop. The city of Woodstock is in the heart of Oxford County, the official dairy capital of Canada. I was delighted to learn there aren’t a lot of dairy farms in the Similkameen Valley. Frankly I am tired of discussing lactation in the newsroom. While Tara is primarily interested in the production of food, I am more concerned with its consumption. It was fantastic that my first glimpse of the community was at the Taste of Our Valley, a truly spirited and delicious event hosted by Similkameen Country Saturday night. I met a lot of friendly and welcoming people, some of the

Possibly due to the rejection, she is most apt to think “outside the fence.” Then there are the two Cleopatras, life long buddies. We can’t tell them apart and therefore decided one name will do for both. Like an unanticipated pregnancy, the girls arrived without any prior notice. To control them, I affixed a length of chicken wire to poles around the garden. With the fence in place, I felt confident the garden was adequately protected. Very quickly I found myself locked in a fierce battle of wits and will with Lonely Hearts. It was spring and appetizing shoots were sprouting out of the soil in the garden. Possibly even more compelling, the garden was off limits, and this she could not tolerate. All that first afternoon she patrolled along the outside of the fence. With the Cleopatras marching behind, they looked like determined, hardened cons, seeking to escape from prison. The following morning the girls were in the garden, furiously scratching for insects. Tender young plants were being uprooted with alarming haste. I picked up the girls
local politicians (those two groups not being mutually exclusive) and sampled award winning wine and creative, local, cuisine. I left regretting Taste of our Valley is only an annual event. It was especially comfortable attending Taste of our Valley as two cornerstones of the Keremeos Review were also present and enjoying the local fare ¬– The Review’s advertising salesperson Sandi Don’t-Call-Me-Sondra Nolan, and ad designer and chief cook-and-bottle-washer Tammy Hartfield. This small group will publish The Keremeos Review as a team – a team that needs its community to participate, offer honest feedback, have a little fun and maybe be a little patient. If nearly 30 years of working in the industry have taught me anything, it is that generally works.

individually and gently threw them over the fence. They had squeezed through a narrow opening between the fence and storage shed. A quick fix. I was considerably mollified by their thoughtful gift of 3 beautiful brown eggs. Same story the next morning. They were in the garden and again I evicted them. In the afternoon Linda saw Lonely Hearts run toward the fence at breakneck speed, then blithely soar over. “Clip their wings,” people said, and that day we clipped the right wing of each girl. For almost 2 weeks Lonely Hearts devised creative means of penetrating the fence. Her favourite trick was to poke her head through one of the small openings in the fence and work
the wire with her neck, patiently and persistently stretching it until she could slip through. When Linda went to the garden to harvest her basil, the girls had already thoroughly clipped it and had started on the radish tops. After two weeks, I installed a higher, much sturdier fence. Lonely Hearts flew over my new five foot high fence once, by taking off from a box I’d left standing on end inside their area. The lady’s strategies mirror the words of Jack Canfield in “The Principles of Success.” Canfield suggests we “operate outside the world of conventionality and instead live in a world of expanding awareness, creativity and accomplishment.” He urges us to “become
free of the many fears and anxieties that diminish the imaginations and ambitions of the vast majority of people.” This describes Miss Lonely Hearts nicely. Like the intrepid individuals who dug tunnels under the Berlin Wall to attain freedom, she concocts strategies that will take her under, over, around or through the obstacle. If we were to apply this thinking consistently at the personal and community level, could we develop more fulfilling lives? Could we create more attractive communities that people would want to come to and be part of? Miss Lonely Hearts would say, “it’s possible.”
A couple of bad apples can wreak havoc on a community and cause police statistics to illustrate a village as a haven for crime, Keremeos council heard. RCMP Cpl. Michael Gallagher presented a review of incidents officers dealt with over the last three months at Keremeos village council Monday night. A quick glance at the numbers shows an alarming spike in vehicle thefts, theft from vehicles and mischief. But Gallagher was able to ease any concerns quickly about crime in the area. “There was a group of people here that went through town and went through vehicles,” Gallagher said. “They saw a crime of opportunity. It was a couple people in town but they are not here anymore.” He said the same people involved with crime in Keremeos were suspected of committing similar offences in other communities nearby. Up from just three or four vehicle thefts in the previous three quarters, between July and September 13 vehicles were stolen or found stolen within the municipality. Theft from vehicles was similarly up from five or six incidents in previous three month periods to 21 between July and September. Mischief also increased to a total of 34 calls. Included in mischief related calls are vehicles that are entered and rummaged through but where nothing is stolen. Gallagher made special note of saying out of all the vehicles involved in investigations there was about 18 that were not locked. He encouraged residents to lock their vehicles and homes to protect their property and ward-off crime as criminals passing through might view the area as an easy target. There were four weapons offences investigated over the past three months. Two involved people doing target practice, while another involved a pellet gun.

Residents complain about dogs and castles Tara Bowie Keremeos Review
Property standards issues topped the list of reasons residents filed complaints with bylaw enforcement from July to September. The village received a staggering 40 property standards calls in the three-month span ending September 30. Last year during the same time period only 15 property related complaints were filed. “Basically a neighbour complains that their neighbour is not keeping the weeds in their lawn under control or that they have a variety of dilapidated vehicles in their yard,” CAO Laurie Taylor said during the regularly scheduled council meeting Monday. Out of those 40 calls seven people were repeat offenders. Six peo-
ple received two letters, while one person received three letters before cleaning up what was needed. Mayor Manfred Bauer aired concerns that sometimes residents might file complaints that aren’t warranted. He cited a recent issue that occurred in a park where a family was holding a child’s birthday party and had a bouncy castle setup. “I got a call this weekend that someone complained about a bouncy castle,” he said. “How sad is that that the world has come to someone complaining about a bouncy castle in a park on a child’s birthday.” Also included on the bylaw complaint lis was four calls about dogs, three traffic violations, two noise complaints and one other. One dog was impounded while one parking ticket was issued.

The Tracey family didn’t let rainy weather stop them from enjoying an early afternoon swing at Memorial Park. Ayla and Bailey Tracey, along with their mother Tanis, who are from Pitt Meadows, were visiting Pat and Rita Tracey of Keremeos.
Members of the Keremeos Community Day Living Program were pleased to receive a number of items donated to them last week in order to help them in their efforts to give back to the community. Village Chief Administrative Officer Laurie Taylor personally provided the group with a garden wagon and a few accessories to enable them to clean the village’s park areas as part of their daily rou-
tine from Monday to Friday. “They wanted to do something to pay back the community for all the assistance the community has given them,” explained Public Works Foreman Jordy Bosscha, who made the presentation on behalf of village staff. The group, who also assist the elderly to walk their pets, will take the cart with them and concentrate on areas like the cenotaph and the pet water fountain.
COLD & FLU & DIABETES
NAVIGATING THE FIRST TWO HOLIDAYS OF THE FALL SEASON By Cathy Lauer
PART II
Most parents aren’t really all that keen on their kids having so much candy anyway. I do long for the old days when homemade rice krispie treats or popcorn balls were a favourite to get. Yes I know there was always one weirdo in some part of the country putting hazards in them but at least the safe ones were a little more nutritious than candy. These days, unless you are at a private party, all Halloween treats are pre-packaged. Which ones can you trust to be safe for your gluten free children? As always READ THE LABEL! Yes you may have been buying that product for years but a quick check just to be sure they haven’t changed anything will help to ensure that your kids have a fun and safe treat to eat for Halloween. Gluten free halloween treatssp;I always like to try to stay close to real foods for treats with raisins or fruit leather but most kids don’t want to find that in their Halloween bags. Our favourites end up being mini bags of potato chips, fruit gummies and gluten free chocolate bars such as Aero, Oh Henry or chocolate candies such as M&M’s. As a rule I don’t buy anything to hand out that we cannot eat ourselves. With so many kids going to the mall for safe trick or treating, and depending on the weather, you may not get a lot of trick-or-treaters at your door. Hence you will be left with the candy you bought and all the candy from their bags that you cannot eat. The next question is what to do with all the leftover candy than no one can eat. Since two of my kids have birthdays right after I put a lot of it into the party bags I sent home with the kids attending the party. They all thought it was great! With Halloween being on a school night this year why not host an afterschool Halloween party. It’s one way of avoiding the over abundance of candy from going trick-or-treating. Have the kids who come to the party bring a gluten free treat for your child. Be sure to inform the parents about what treats your child can have so there is no confusion. Have your child answer the door, bag in hand to receive the treats. As everyone leaves have your child hand out treats to everyone that attended. There are a lot of great games that can be played with a Halloween twist. One of my kids favourite was trying to eat a cookie dangling from a string while keeping your hands behind your back. Make gingerbread cookies cut into Halloween shapes and using a straw punch a hole in each cookie before baking. If your kids don’t like gingerbread use corn syrup instead of molasses and leave out the spice. Now you have a plain cookie that the kids can decorate before you hang it on a string for them to eat. Make lots so there are cookies for them to decorate and take home. A quick gluten free supper of hotdogs on a stick, veggies and dip and a gluten free cracker or chip of your choice and the party is complete. Your kids will have a great time and you will have had a safe event for your kids and their friends. If you have older kids maybe end their party with adult supervised fireworks. Now you know that with a little creative thinking and a bit of help from friends and family Thanksgiving can easily be made gluten free while preserving family traditions. Halloween can also be a fun event for parents and kids alike and yet be gluten free. Embrace your gluten free lifestyle and don’t let it ruin your family holidays or your kid’s special events. Happy Thanksgiving and a Safe Halloween!

For good blood sugar control, diabetics check their blood sugar levels on a regular basis. More vigilant blood sugar monitoring should occur during a cold or flu or other illnesses. Illness can trigger a rise in blood sugar levels. Non-diabetics can produce more insulin to deal with this. Diabetics cannot. FLU VACCINE SEASON
We are entering the flu vaccine season. Flu kills thousands of people every year in Canada. The flu vaccine is a safe way to reduce your chance of getting the flu. The vaccine is made from the killed flu virus so it cannot give you the flu. SIDS AWARENESS MONTH
October is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Awareness Month. Just a reminder that new babies should sleep in a crib on their back on a firm mattress. (It’s OK to room share but no to bed share.) And don’t expose the baby to cigarette smoke before or after birth. TEMPERATURE AND HEALTH
We take our temperatures when we are ill to see if we have a fever. This simple act of diagnosis wasn’t always known. It was first introduced to medicine in 1850 by a doctor in Leipzig, Germany. And the rest, as they say, is history. Although diagnosis isn’t the realm of our pharmacists’ duties, we can certainly help you choose the right medicine when you know what’s bothering you. Let us share our knowledge to help you get better.

y name is Arlene Nora Arlow. My website is www. arlenearlow.com I chose to run again for Keremeos village council because I don’t want to be a whiner, I want to be a doer. I want to walk the walk, talk the talk and work with other people to make Keremeos a wonderful place. I do my best to make informed decisions and I believe rules are made because we need them. I grew up on a mixed grain and cattle farm in Alberta. My father had no tolerance for failure so my work ethic comes from trying to avoid the discomfort of retribution. I am a self-employed bookkeeper who offers real-life experience balancing books, satisfying all levels of government and keeping customers happy. As a village councillor I
believe I am employed by and accountable to the taxpayers of Keremeos, period. My immediate concern is our local library. The Okanagan Regional Library is planning staffing reductions to balance their own books from Revelstoke all the way to Princeton. I am looking at ways to offset what will inevitably be reduced funding for the Keremeos library. A small town is held together by people and services. It’s all relative.

the community, continued to reduce the ratio between business and residential tax and piloting a business walk are some of the more innovative approaches. A new communications plan saw two citizens surveys, a new village website, a quarterly newsletter and the completion of the review of the official community plan. With your support on election day, I would like to build on our many achievements and lead the next council into a very challenging term.
y family moved to Keremeos in 1971 when I was 12 years old. I went to high school here, I grew up here. Most of my working years were in the farming industry in this valley. Currently I am the receiver at B.C. Tree Fruits, located downtown. I served the community for 21 years as a volunteer firefighter and have 18 years experience on council. During those years the committees I have been involved with have done much to improve the quality of life here in Keremeos. Playground equipment for Memorial Park, the town-hill beautification project, improved parking downtown – both along Veterans Avenue, behind the village square and across from the old KMI Hotel site are just a few of the successes we enjoyed.

moved to Keremeos 19 years ago for a teaching job at SESS. I retired from teaching in April 2013 and now have more time to give back to the community. For the past seven years I have sat on the Village of Keremeos Education and Substance Abuse Committee. This year I volunteered to coordinate the new Keremeos and Area ambassador program. I would like to provide more opportunities for youth and promote services for our large senior population. I am interested in initiating programs that seek to bridge the gap between youth and seniors. This kind of program would encourage more volunteerism. I believe we need to spend our tax dollars wisely to ensure that Keremeos is an affordable place to live, but still provide adequate programs and services to the com-

munity. Preserving our beautiful valley for our enjoyment now and for future generations is very important to me, while allowing for well thought out growth. In my teaching career, I have had many opportunities to work cooperatively. As a councillor, I would look forward to being part of a team. I try to learn all the facts before making educated decisions on issues. If elected, I will represent the citizens of the Village of Keremeos fairly and with integrity.
espect for the past, hope for the future. As I run for council in Keremeos I appreciate the accomplishments achieved by previous councillors. As I look to the future I anticipate further development of our eco-tourism, infrastructure that aids economic growth, and working to maintain a safe and friendly atmosphere in our village. As a father of four, a husband of 17 years, and a lifelong resident of small village BC I bring 30+ years of rural experience to the council. From work at the farm, orchard, gas station, parts store, airport, etc., my wife and I know the struggle of creatively finding ways to provide for our family.

Keremeos transit part of the grand plan Joe Fries Western News Staff
Buses could start rolling in Keremeos within a few years if a proposed regional transit committee makes it a priority. Both the committee and recommendations for new services are contained in a draft 25-year plan presented last week to Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen directors. Creation of twice-weekly bus service within Keremeos and looping out to Olalla and Cawston is among the short-term priorities suggested in the plan, which was
drafted by B.C. Transit staff following public consultations during the summer. While nothing is final yet, Adriana McMullen, a B.C. Transit planner, suggested the Keremeos loop could perhaps operate from 9 a.m. to 4 a.m. and do three or four laps, allowing people twice a week to run errands and attend appointments. Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer, also an RDOS director, told McMullen that loop isn’t ambitious enough. “Any improvement on the existing service is good,” he said, but “just having a bus from Cawston to
Keremeos isn’t enough.” Bauer then argued for more stops at points along the way like mobile home parks. McMullen, however, cautioned there are some safety limitations posed by highway pullouts, but “we can work towards it.” Bauer also pressed for more inter-regional connections, as did Cawston Director George Bush, who said he’s “concerned about the disconnect between Keremeos, Cawston and Oliver and Osoyoos.” McMullen noted such a direct connection to the south is “something that’s probably still a long ways off,” but added the plan should
be reviewed every five years and does call for better service from the Similkameen into Penticton, which would be a regional hub. “One of the biggest improvements I see is the effort to make a coherent system to tie all the branches together,” said HedleyRural Keremeos Director Angelique Wood. She pointed out, however, that if the inter-regional service is scheduled so riders have perhaps 90 minutes to spend in larger centres to attend medical appointments, work should be done with the medical community to ensure appointments are available to them.
McMullen noted Interior Health participated in planning workshops and clearly heard such demands that “came up repeatedly from Similkameen residents.” B.C. Transit is still presenting its draft plan to local governments, and, if fully approved in principal, will then move to strike a committee next summer to prioritize and put service improvements in place. A similar planning approach was used in the West Kootenays, which now has regional transit in place that connects Trail, Castlegar, Nelson, Nakusp and outlying areas.
MLAs shake fingers in quake exercise Tom Fletcher Black Press
As students and office workers practised earthquake evacuation procedures Thursday, politicians ducked, covered and shook their fingers about B.C.’s long-running earthquake safety project for public schools. NDP leader John Horgan and education critic Rob Fleming visited Killarney Secondary in Vancouver, one of the high-risk schools the government identified for upgrading in a pre-election announcement in April 2013. They said more than a year later, only three out of 10 projects are underway. “Clearly, this was just another photo-op announcement from the premier with no follow-through,” Fleming said. Schools listed for 2013-14 were Killarney and David Thompson Secondary in Vancouver, James Gilmore Elementary in Richmond, Montecito Elementary in Burnaby, Windsor Secondary in North Vancouver, Henderson Elementary in Powell River, George Jay Elementary in Greater Victoria, Cordova Bay Elementary in Saanich, South Wellington Elementary in NanaimoLadysmith and École Phoenix Middle School in Campbell River. Education Minister Peter Fassbender issued a statement touting the province as a leading jurisdiction in earthquake preparedness, with $2.2 billion
spent or committed since 2001 to upgrade 213 high-risk schools. In August 2014, the ministry said it has been trying for two years to establish a project office with the Vancouver school district to manage the 69 schools in the city identified as having high earthquake risk. The list for this school year includes Langley Secondary, Delta Secondary, Burnaby North Secondary, Yale Secondary in Abbotsford, Richard
McBride Elementary in New Westminster, Minnekhada Middle in Coquitlam, Tillicum Elementary in Victoria, Dunsmuir Middle in Sooke and Parkland Secondary in Saanich. Tom Fletcher/Black Press

LNG tax reflects softer gas market
Tom Fletcher/Black Press
Finance Minister Mike de Jong explains that the new LNG income tax is only on profits from liquefying gas for export or domestic use.
Ministry of Finance
Graph shows all provincial taxes as they would apply to a medium-sized facility producing 12 million tonnes of LNG per year. By Tom Fletcher conditions, including est sector this year,” de twice the size of the Black Press finance ministry’s medislower growth in China Jong said.
VICTORIA – Liquefied natural gas producers are being asked to pay a new tax of 3.5 per cent on their profits for the first 20 years of operation in B.C., after deducting their startup costs. Finance Minister Mike de Jong unveiled the LNG tax system Tuesday, describing it as lower in total taxes and royalties than existing and proposed LNG export facilities in Australia, Alaska, Oregon and other U.S. states that are B.C.’s main competitors. De Jong said B.C. scaled back its plan to charge up to seven per cent in the face of declining gas market
and its new long-term deal to buy pipeline gas from Russia. Japan is also considering restarting its nuclear power program after the 2011 Fukushima earthquake, and oil prices have declined in recent months. Under the B.C. plan, a single medium-sized LNG plant on the B.C. coast would pay about $800 million a year in total provincial taxes after a three-year construction period. That includes the new LNG tax, royalties on gas produced in B.C., carbon tax, provincial sales tax and corporate income tax. “That’s more than we got from the whole for-
There are currently 18 proposals for LNG plants in B.C., ranging from small to those
um-plant example. One of the largest is LNG Canada, a consortium of Shell, PetroChina,
Mitsubishi and Korea Gas to build a pipeline and export terminal at Kitimat. LNG Canada issued a statement Tuesday saying it will continue to work on its B.C. plan. “There is much more work to do prior to a final investment decision for LNG Canada and we will continue working with First Nations and local communities, as well as municipal, provincial and federal governments,” it said. De Jong said the B.C. Liberal election promise to pay off the province’s debt with LNG revenues remains possible, but it will take longer than earlier estimates. A single medium-sized is worth $8 billion in revenues over a 10-year period of full operation. NDP natural gas critic Bruce Ralston said the government had to slash its tax plan after it hyped the LNG revenue
windfall to voters in the 2013 election campaign. That put B.C. in a weaker negotiating position with international investors, Ralston said. The new tax takes effect in 2017, with an
effective rate of 1.5 per cent for three years as companies construct LNG plants. Only one or two small facilities are expected to be ready by then.

Late start for school year means local teachers and students face unique challenges Marieze Tarr, Chairperson School District No. 53
The board would like to extend a warm welcome back to our parents, teachers and support staff. We look forward to working with all of our education partners to achieve the goals and objectives set out in our district vision and our district achievement contract. We would also like to express our appreciation for all the hard work, extra work and for all the lonely hours that our senior staff and principals and vice principals had to endure during the labour dispute. We are proud of the many successes in School District No. 53 and we are now ready and looking forward to the years of labour peace ahead where we can turn our minds, energies and resources to building on these successes. There will always be challenges and conflict - we are going to look at these as opportunities for growth and to build positive relationships as well as to meet our board’s objectives of open, transparent communication. We have heard that the Ministry of Education does not currently have plans to adjust the school calendar, therefore we will not see any changes to the length of the school day, the school year or to the winter and spring breaks. Each school will send out additional information in school newsletters and on websites with details for their respective calendars. All schools report that startups have been busy and not without obvious challenges, but very positive. With this year’s delayed start, we have adjusted our 2014/2015 school calendar to balance semesters one and two in secondary schools, taking advantage of a second winter provincial exam sitting during the week of February 2. In recognition of this change, schools have worked cooperatively to reschedule early dismissals for parent teacher interviews and report cards where they felt appropriate. We thank our school administrators and teachers for their quick attention to this. During the last week of August the StrongStartBC facilitators participated in two workshops. The first featured Chris Rowan, author of “Virtual Child - The Terrifying Truth About What Technology is Doing to Children”. Chris is a pediatric occupational therapist and her presentation was titled “Technology and its Impact on Early Child
Development”. The second workshop featured Dr. Deborah MacNamara speaking on two topics: “The Teach Ability Factor” and “Making Sense of Anxiety”. This workshop was attended by bus drivers, education assistants, Aboriginal support workers, a few teachers and many of our service providers as well as parents from our communities. Thank you to Lisa McCall and Samantha James for leading this initiative. Our district Aboriginal Education Advisory Council will meet on Tuesday, October 7, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the SBO annex. This meeting will review budget and consider actions to move our enhancement agreement forward. School District No. 53 has had a teacher mentor program for more than twenty years. Despite the teacher strike this initiative will move forward and principals will meet with new teachers and mentor teachers to go over the program and expectations. Funds will be transferred to the schools for the principals to oversee. This will allow the program to begin right away. With the support of a $20,000 grant for the Industry Training Association we hope to show significant growth in our career programs. We are aiming for 13 new secondary school apprentices and 10-12 ACE-IT students. We will also use YES-2-IT grants and ministry grants to provide grades six and seven students with two hands-on awareness programs. We are excited about the newest initiative called “YES-2-IT in the Classroom” when Mr. Boyd Turnbull will do a week long project with grades 6 and 7 students in their home school. In January we offer our YES-2-IT program where visiting Red Seal trades people will work with each grade 6 and 7 student demonstrating their trade in a hands-on-format. The district has increased Mr. Rod Kitt’s assignment by twoblocks to allow greater coordination and supervision of our SSA, ACE IT and dual credit programs. This year we will be doing the MDI (Middle Years Development Instrument) at both the grade 4 and grade 7 level and the EDI (Early Development Instrument) with our kindergarten students. We are planning to share the results with our PAC’s, communities and parents so that we can plan strategies together to support our students. The Finance and Facilities Committee received a presen-
tation by the district’s auditors, Omland Heal Chartered Accountants, indicating a clean audit and good internal controls. The district is ending the year with an accumulated surplus of $2.1 million. The surplus is restricted for various items including the following: *2014/2015 operating budget costs - $526,000 *Future computer lease payments - $250,000 *School budgets $133,000 *Employee support grant - $236,000 *Facilities upgrades $368,169 The operations department was hard at work this summer ensuring that schools were clean and safe for students to return to in September. Despite the strike challenges, summer cleaning and maintenance projects proceeded as scheduled. The major project this summer was an HVAC replacement at SESS. The $400,000 project has provided the school with improved lighting and heating/cooling
efficiencies. Ms. Deborah Sansome has accepted the position of director of facilities beginning October 14, 2014. Ms. Sansome joins the district having worked in the Langley school district with responsibilities for energy management, custodial, transportation and maintenance. Mr. Bruce Porteous is serving as the Interim Director of Facilities. The board appreciates Mr. Porteous’s support during this transition period.
We would like to thank the Telus ambassadors for their donation of 216 backpacks filled with school supplies. These have been distributed to students around the district. Our Keremeos Learning Centre Childcare, operated by Penticton and District Community Resources Society, is up and running as of Tuesday, September 23. We know that the community is happy with this added opportunity for children. We would like to invite everyone to our October learning

The 1st Summerland scouts setup a ropes course at the Sizzle Pepper Festival last month to help raise awareness for a new beaver and cub scouts program being launched in Keremeos. A registration and activity day is being held Oct. 28 at 6 p.m. at Cawston School.
Scouts gear up for season of fun Richard Rutherford For the Kremeos Review
Scouting fun and adventure programs are returning to Keremeos. If you visited the South Similkameen Sizzle Pepper Festival last month, you would have seen children climbing on a log and rope bridge built and staffed by young people – teen youth members and volunteers from 1st Summerland scout group that want children and youth to experience scouting here in Keremeos. “It takes a community to raise a child and scouting programs and volunteer training make that philosophy easy to implement in a community,” lead volunteer Will Schulz, area commissioner of the South Okanagan area said. Scout activity night and registration takes place Tuesday, October 28 at 6:30 p.m. at the Cawston School. Keremeos parent and volunteer, Rick Rutherford encourages parents to come 15 minutes early. “We are finding a lot of support from the community and Scouts Canada. The first 15 families registered will receive free, a Beaver Scout vest and hat with a value of $27 for five to seven years old or Cub Scout shirt value $32 for eight to 10 years,” Rutherford. Volunteering with Scouts Canada is fun and rewarding.

HOW TO CREATE A RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM Rainwater collection is a way to conserve water that can be adopted by both private homeowners and businesses. Harvesting water during peak times of precipitation ensures water will be on hand during drought or when water restrictions are implemented. Making use of rainwater reduces reliance on underground wells or municipal water systems. Harvesting rainwater also can help prevent flooding and soil erosion. The average homeowner can collect thousands of gallons of rainwater each year. To learn just how much water can be harvested, as well as how many natural resources can be produced from that rain, visit www.save-the-rain.com, where men and women can calculate their rain collection potential by geographic location and average rainfall. Afterward, homeowners may be inclined to establish their own rainwater harvesting systems. Here is how to get started. * Determine your roofing material. Potable water can be harvested from homes with sheet metal or slate roofing. Clay or adobe tiles also may be acceptable. Asphalt, wood shingles and tar roofs may leach toxic chemicals into the water, making it unsafe for drinking. This rainwater may only be collected to use for irrigation methods or washing cars and outdoor items. * Check gutter materials. Some gutters are made with lead soldering components. A commercial lead swab test can help you determine if there is lead present in your gutters. At a later time you can choose to replace the gutters if you desire a potable supply of water. * Invest in a collection tank or barrel. A number of manufacturers offer prefabricated rain collection systems complete with collection barrels. Otherwise, you can use your own barrel or tank to house the collected water. Ensure it is large enough to handle the volume of water collected. * Purchase and install leaf guards. If your home is surrounded by many trees, you probably accumulate leaf and tree debris in your home gutters and downspouts. Leaf guards will help keep the gutters clear and increase water flow through the water collection system. * Create a water collection area. A portion of the gutter system should be removed so that it connects to the collection barrel or tank. As the rain falls, it will run down the roof and into the gutters before it streams into the downspouts. The downspout connected to the tank will deposit the water directly inside. Filters can be installed to help block the flow of debris. * Outfit the tank for overflow and water usage. A spigot and hose connection makes it easy to use the collected water for outdoor purposes. Many rainwater collection systems are designed with an overflow safeguard that will prevent the water from backing up through the system. It will divert the rainwater back out of the downspout when the barrel or tank is full. A rainwater collection system harnesses a natural source of water to be used for gardens and other outdoor purposes. This water doesn’t contain chlorine or other additives, making it relatively clean and safe to use. Homeowners should check to see if a permit is necessary to install a rainwater collection system and then begin gathering water for various uses.

His customers are coming from all over the region, including Penticton and Osoyoos. “There seems to be a good local market for this type of work,” he said, noting a strong local fraternity of classic car buffs in the Lower Similkameen. Hibac said he prefers to work on American made muscle cars, hot rods and classics. He’s also into custom motorcycles, with Harley Davidson topping the list.

A small gathering turned out to hear the Similkameen Valley Planning Society and the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen present phase one of the Similkameen Watershed Study.
Eugene Deschamps renewed parking, crosswalk and speed bump markings last week, taking advantage of the exceptional fall weather the Similkameen has been experiencing. Application of the markings was delayed this year due to staffing shortages in the village’s public works department.

ROUTLEY, Nancy Doreen
July 22, 1928 October 11, 2014 Born in Regina and raised in Burnaby, Nancy was petite in stature and resolute in her independence. From yoga to raising sheep, bookkeeping to Reiki, Nancy would teach herself to do what was needed. When in retirement she revealed a talent for painting Western art, we were awed but perhaps not surprised. She embodied patience and serenity, and expected perfection in no one but herself. She shared her life with her love, Art. Together they raised Nancy’s younger sister Judy before their daughter Carey was born. Nancy was a woman comfortable in the country, but beguiled by the Hawaiian Island of Molokai. Quiet mornings lured Nancy to her garden or for coffee with her son-in-law Peter, while ideal evenings included sunset drinks with Carey or a game of Skip Bo with Judy. Her granddaughters were an essential part of every moment. Nancy maintained an active life with her many friends and family including dear friend Eleanor Vernon of Kamloops – their friendship lasting 80 years. Besides all of her wonderful friends, Nancy is survived by her loving daughter Carey, son-in-law, Peter DeMeo, and two granddaughters, Andrea and Sophia; her brother Jack and his family (Ross, Kelly, Tari and Phil); sister Judy, her husband Tony Lloyd, sons Rudy (Sarai) and Ryan (Sabrina) and Judy’s stepchildren Dennie (Peter) and Michael (Louise); nephew Robin Hampshire (Gail) and their family. Nancy suffered a stroke during lunch at her favourite watering hole. She was surrounded by love and listening to Hawaiian music when she took her last breath. When you next see a beautiful sunset, please raise your glass and think of Nancy. We are sure she’s with Art, sitting on the beach in Molokai, enjoying a drink together. There will be no funeral service – just lots of wonderful memories.

New recycling program may be scaled back in Keremeos Joe Fries Western News Staff
Five months into a new B.C.-wide recycling program, issues have begun to crop up at some of the region’s smaller landfills. Responsibility for recycling was handed over in May to MultiMaterial B.C. The industry group represents companies that introduce the most recyclable waste into the marketplace through product packaging, which they’re now required to collect and recycle. In this region, the switch was accomplished by providing incentives to local governments like the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen to continue and expand curb-side pickup programs already in place. And in most cases, additional containers were placed at landfills in order to accept new items, like styrofoam, and allow for more thorough sorting of paper products. “It’s better run in terms of waste reduction,” RDOS solid waste management co-ordinator Cameron Baughen told the board at its meeting last week. However, smaller landfills in Oliver, Okanagan Falls and Keremeos actually lost a total of about $6,450 a month during the summer under the new program. Green By Nature, the company contracted by MMBC to pick up and transport recycling from landfills to sorting facilities elsewhere, has stated a preference to use 40-yard roll-off bins for collection. At most landfills, however, that would require a capital outlay for stairs and safety features around the bins, which the RDOS didn’t budget for, so existing front-end bins have been left in place for some items like mixed paper. That, however, has proven costly since the RDOS still pays to transport those loads to a collection point in Penticton. For example, it now costs $2,500 a month
to operate the recycling program at the Keremeos transfer station, up from $324 a year ago. To help reduce costs there, RDOS staff have recommend the site reduce its participation in the MMBC program to just plastic bags, glass and styrofoam, which are collected in large, soft-sided mega-bags, and then go to tender for a private contract to handle everything else. That will allow time for RDOS staff to see what it will cost to rejig the configuration of the busy, cramped site to allow for the full MMBC program. Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer is skeptical about how many people will take advantage of recycling services at the transfer station. “I’m not sure that people collect their plastic bags and take them to the dump on Sunday,” he said, “but you want to
look into the future.” Meanwhile, staff recommended the Okanagan Falls landfill be removed from the MMBC program and its licence given to the Oliver bottle depot so it can become an MMBC drop-off point. Baughen said the Okanagan Falls dump gets little use from residents since it doesn’t accept household garbage and has limited hours. And at the Oliver landfill, RDOS staff recommended investing up to $56,500 to accommodate the 40-yards roll-off bins and proper infrastructure for the mega-bags favoured by MMBC. The RDOS board is expected to approve the recommendations at its Nov. 6 meeting, with the proposed change in Oliver deferred to allow more time for study.
