Every soldier has a story Tara Bowie Review Staff
Because of research completed almost 100 years after his death a soldier from the area who died in the First World War will now have an accurate grave marker. Blair Mills was the youngest local soldier to die in the First World War. He was 19. “He rose quickly to the ranks of Lance Corporal. He was a pretty remarkable young man, very popular, well liked,” Andy English said following the Remembrance Day ceremony in Hedley Tuesday. English, a Hedley resident and military enthusiast, worked with Jennifer Douglass from the Hedley Heritage Museum for more than two years researching the lives and often deaths of area soldiers. Mills’ story is particularly interesting as the young man used skills he developed while working at the Nickle Plate Mine to join the 1st Tunneling COY. The specialized unit was in charge of digging attacking tunnels under enemy lines. The enemy was also digging attacking tunnels at the same time. “It was basically a war within a war, a war underground,” English said. While tunneling, a listening post was set up to hear the enemy digging. Mills died March 26, 1916 just outside St. Elois, France along with another teenage soldier, while standing guard at the listening post. “Two teenage soldiers were in there because they had the best listening ears to hear the enemy,” he said. Mills was buried a few days after his death and later exhumed and buried at the Strand Military Centre. Unfortunately the original grave
marker became ineligible and his death date was put on a new marker incorrectly. “We’ve just heard that they are going to put up a new grave marker with the actual date of his death on it,” English said. “That feels good to know we were able to fix that.” Research on the more than 50 other local soldiers who fought in the war can be viewed at the Hedley museum. English said work is still ongoing to find as many details as possible and he particularly hopes a photo of Mills will come forward. “We haven’t been able to find one and we desperately would like one. We’re hoping because his family lived here that perhaps someone might have one,” he said. During a speech at the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Hedley cenotaph, English read the names of the 11 known local men who died in the First World War and four names of men who died in the Second World War. “The 15 men commemorated on this cenotaph from the two world wars are just names today, but they were once men and boys who walked these streets, grew up and played in our neighbourhoods and worked in some of the same buildings that still stand today,” he said to the crowd of about 120 people. About a month ago a five-person committee was struck to raise money to repair the cenotaph. Over the years several names have faded beyond readability, and a piece of granite has broken off. Through research it was found that several of the soldiers’ ranks were listed wrong. “We would just like to fix things up and restore it,” Douglass said.

Elef Christensen said the cross is on a mine road, and is not a cemetery marker. The cross was removed from the post after an interview with the Review while the sign remained. Tara Bowie Review Staff
With the election for Area G director in its final days a controversy involving vandalism and illadvised placement of signs has surfaced. Both candidates, incumbent Angelique Wood and Elef Christensen, spoke with The Review about the damage made to several signs. Wood states one of her wooden campaign signs was defaced with red spray paint outside of a supporter’s home and several others were knocked down. Christensen claims several of his signs were knocked down, some broken and thrown in ditches around Olalla. Both candidates say neither they or anyone they have working on their campaigns is responsible. Nor is either politician pointing a finger directly at the opponent. Wood said she doesn’t recall there being this much vandalism or problems with signage during the 2011 election. “It is a little over the top. It’s totally ridiculous,” she said. Christensen, who served as Area G director prior to Wood’s election in 2011, said sign vandalism is
Angelique Wood said she attached her election sign to this stop sign because she was unable to get the sign to stay in the ground.
normal during elections. “This is an election. You will find this happens to a lot of people,” he said. In addition to sign destruction, each candidate chose at least one questionable sign location this campaign. An Elect Elef Christensen sign was attached to a post with a white cross located just outside the Hedley Cemetery. When questioned Christensen repeatedly said it wasn’t a cemetery marker and that possibly he put the cross and post up while putting out his election signs. “It’s not part of the cemetery, it’s a driveway into the mine. I won’t argue with you there’s crosses everywhere,” he said. “I would never put one in there. Christ, the guy’s would kill me. The cemetery stays out of politics.” Hours after the interview the white cross was removed from the stake, but the sign remains a few feet from the Hedley Cemetery entrance sign. For Wood, the ill-advised placement was a small sign attached to a stop sign. When questioned Wood admitted to attaching her sign to the base of the other sign. “I had tried to put it in the ground and it wouldn’t stay so I thought why not attach it there,” she said.

A4 www.keremeosreview.com Thursday, November 13, 2014 The Review OPINION
Vote smart on November 15 or stay home An often-quoted sentiment at election time is this: It doesn’t matter who you vote for, just get out and vote. That’s absolute crazy talk. It of course matters who you vote for this Saturday, when you head to the polls to elect a mayor, councillors, and an Area G director. If you’re going to step behind the curtain and tick off a name because it’s first alphabetically, or because your husband told you to vote for that person, or because you like the car he or she drives or because your kids went to school together, just stay home and watch football. Votes need to be smart. One of the inherent problems with small community elections is there are so many relationships lurking beneath a campaign. There are political alliances that can date back decades. There are friendships, family connections and conflicts and all those relationships get put under stress when the writ is dropped. Votes need to be smart. The Village of Keremeos and the Regional District are multi-million dollar corporations. The people you elect need to be qualified, through experience and education, to act as your senior management team. Trust is also an important factor. Give your vote to someone only if you trust both that candidate’s judgment and that person’s integrity. Consider what you have read about the candidates in the newspaper – and what you haven’t. Reporters and editors hear the same gossip as everyone else and do their best to follow the trails of legitimate news. If a story hasn’t appeared in print its because people were chasing an empty bag, or the facts simply could not be verified. It’s difficult to discount speculation and rumor. But try not to discount a qualified individual because someone at the coffee shop heard from their second cousin’s hair dresser that the candidate in question beats his dog. Style is important in politics both locally and at the provincial and federal levels. With such overwhelming attendance at the recent all candidates meeting there was plenty of opportunity to judge style. Think about substance too. Vote for steak, not sizzle. Elections should not be popularity contests. When you elect a municipal government you are literally hiring people to work for you – to make decisions about investments, your money and your essential services. Hire the people who are most qualified to do the job. By all means, choose your friends with your heart. But vote with your head. -AD

He is very dedicated to improving Hedley and all of Area G. He is honest, experienced and well-informed. He knows how to get things done. The accusations directed at him at the all candidates meeting at Victory Hall on Oct. 29 were both misleading and ill-informed. He paid to have his driveway paved and it took a lot of dollar stretching on his part to provide a men’s and women’s washroom complete with septic systems with the $25,000 BC Spirit Square grant provided by the provincial government.
All supplies used were new except for two sinks donated by someone. Elef received no monies for his involvement in this project and he donated money for the water fountain and gazebo roof. The $90,000 was for the skating rink at the back of Hedley and went to the rink, the fencing, and the washroom and other amenities included. All finances on that project were up front, well documented and honest. Elef is a man of action, not words. He sees a need and gets it done. He has documentation and proof for all his projects. Maybe he’ll even provide refreshments if you ask him. Robert Bishop

How to Improve Life for Rural Canadians Canada Post became a Crown Corporation to improve network services. The Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA) wants to ensure this multi-billion dollar public network remains viable and able to serve the public. We have found a way to make this sustainable. A recent study shows that nearly half of post offices outside of Canada’s big cities are in communities with no bank or credit union. In those communities that still have a bank or a credit union, many residents have to contend with limited, part-time banking hours. Our survey of Canada’s 3,300 rural post offices: “Why Post Offices should offer banking services” is available for free download at: http://bit.ly/1r8U3fj. Offering financial services in post offices would create a new revenue stream for Canada Post. Equally important, it would benefit numerous communities in Canada whose residents, in order to get to a bank or credit union, are forced to travel long distances. That costs time and money and stifles economic development. Many other countries similar to Canada, such as the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Japan, Italy and New Zealand, have very successful banking services right in their post offices. We, at CPAA, believe that our study is significant because of the value of this public asset. Canada Post is uniquely positioned to offer financial services throughout rural Canada. When Canada Post can make more money and offer more services to Canadians who need them, we have a perfect opportunity. Let’s not lose it. Please Support Rural Canada. Write to Lisa Raitt, the Minister in charge of Canada Post, and ask her to make this happen. Her letter of suggestion can be found at: http://bit.ly/1pxhMVZ. CPAA represents over 8,700 employees of Canada Post who work in over 3,300 rural post offices across Canada. These offices make up over 50% of all postal outlets. Our membership, consisting of 95% women, serves communities in every province.

If elected how will the community be different in four years because of your contributions? Arlene Arlow
Manfred Bauer
Answer believe the residents of Keremeos want a more diverse business community; they would like to truck by-pass road circumventing Keremeos so they can enjoy the downtown in peace; they would appreciate a new wastewater treatment plant; they wouldn’t mind a new, conservative indoor swimming pool that doesn’t need fixing each year; they want fair by-law enforcement applied with professionalism; they want local public transport that they can take to Penticton and Kelowna; they want the police to have jurisdiction to do something about the transients; they want to maintain the services such as the care facility, school, clinic and library; and the majority want a concise, firm “No” from all levels of government regarding the proposed National Park. I
agree with – and will support – any steps to ensure their wishes are met. Some of what I hope to accomplish won’t be “seen”, but it will make Keremeos both more endearing and more enduring. I will never support a pie-in-the-sky swimming pool or similar project that we can’t afford. On the same token, some things – such as a new wastewater treatment plant – are inevitable. I can’t go it alone, so please choose your Mayor and Council wisely on Saturday.

Thank you.

he direction new council will take is dependent on the mix of the individual councillors and mayor. I will bring stability and experience to the table. New council will not have to try this or that if it’s already been tried in the past. Having lived in Keremeos for 43 years, and having been a councillor for 18 of the 21 past years, I know the history of many issues, the people involved, and the solutions that have been tried and ultimately succeeded. I want to bring back committees that invite public participation. These worked in the past, as they provided greater varied input from people, and greater transparency of issues and policies. When people become involved in the decision making process there is less room for complaining and more room for a positive outlook. If you have a beef about

f I had a crystal ball, this question would be much easier to answer. Four years is a long time and a lot can happen. There are many ongoing projects already started that need to continue. We need to look at the expansion of the sewer treatment plant to handle growth in the village. Downtown revitalization is an ongoing project that business owners must have input. We need to complete the process of making the land owned by the BC Transportation Financing Authority, located on the end of Veterans Avenue, into a public trail and then enforce the prohibition of camping. The Similkameen Valley Planning Society needs to continue to look at water management and the environmental issues facing our valley.

I will work hard to help accomplish these issues, as well as new ones as they arise. I am a good listener and I will listen to the citizens of Keremeos and try to follow the best interests of our village.
irst I would like to express the thought that nothing in a village is an individual effort, so my primary focus over the next four years, should I be elected, is to work to bring greater collaborative effort within our village. By working with willing volunteers, the service groups, business community, RDOS, and other levels of government we can provide and promote a vibrant atmosphere in our village. In the last few weeks I have been encouraged by those who expressed a desire to get involved and help bring about change in our village. But we cannot move forward with mere good intention, after Nov 15th we all need to ask ourselves what we will do to promote our beautiful village and help make this

In the end it is the makeup of the council that will ultimately determine the look of the village in four years. Choose wisely.

If elected I will do my best to spend the tax dollars wisely, creatively plan with our staff, and with your help find solutions to issues as they arise in our village. Keremeos is full of amazing and talented people and it would be an honor to serve you as a councillor.

Answer n order to answer the question, I think we need to reflect on how, we, as potential elected officals, will act on the statements that got us elected in the first place. I beleive the community needs a change , in order to see different attitudes, from the Village taxpayers. We need to address employment oppertunities, bussiness growth, transient issuses. Infrastuture improvements, before things break, or cost us more, because we fail to act now. An open and caring community, not secercey and stagnation. Over the last twelve years I’ve seen the Village government grow,more taxes but no real change in services provided. The downtown core has to flourish, but the rest of the Village must be maintained,also. If elected, theses would be some of my contributions, over the next four
something, or think something can be done better, I’d like to hear it, join the committee and do your part. At work and in life I like to lead by example. I have a positive attitude and like to encourage others. I believe in 4 years Keremeos will be even better because council will have fostered greater community pride.

ot having a crystal ball, I’ll have to speculate on what could be.To have a Village seen by tourists and residents as having it’s own identity, while still keeping within the regional tourist strategy. A new cleaner look for the downtown core that will bring in tourists, attract new business ventures while encouraging upgrades to existing ones. Having an Open for Business friendly demeanor with a welcoming attitude and local policies or programs that make it easier to do business here. An open door policy that will allow residents easy access to not only the Village Hall but also those that they elected.

here are four major regional projects that are very important to our community that I would like to see completed. The water plan for the Similkameen Valley, the expansion of our community forest, the transformation of the regional tourism strategy into a sustainable tool for business development and the protocol agreement with the Lower Similkameen Indian Band. In addition we need to strengthen our regionally shared services like waste management, water, fire protection, recreation and library services. On a strictly local level I would like to build on what we have, make sure we keep it and improve and enhance were possible.

o have the opportunity to make a difference in Keremeos over the next four years by being on Council would be a challenge I would take on with vigor, enthusiasm and energy. It would also be a tremendous responsibility to have the community trust in my ability to meet their expectations. I would welcome the opportunity to prove their trust is well founded. Having said this, I know the task of helping move this Village forward over the next four years will take teamwork, perseverance, effort and determination.

envisage our Village community in 4 years to have a better understanding of the problems, due to I hope, increased involvement between the citizens and the Village Council and staff. We should welcome the fact that people have different views and we must encourage people to express them in open dialogue. WE must continue the process of improving and updating our Village and must not give up but continue this effort even after the inevitable failures. I am absolutely determined that this village will be a better place in 4 years due to new ideas from new refreshing candidates. We must realize that between the idea and reality falls the shadow. We rookie candidates for Council are certainly at a disadvantage, we do not possess inside information, facts
and figures as the incumbents do, and as such it would be difficult to assume the future 4 years in a more positive reflection.

Young machine gunners from the mine made up “the Suicide Club” Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca
Except for the persistent, meticulous research of Andy English and Jennifer Douglass, the intriguing World War I story of the Hedley “Machine Gun Boys” might have remained lost forever. Fifty-two young men, many of them working in the Nickel Plate Mine, signed up and went to war. Twelve gave their lives to the battle to combat the German Kaiser’s armies. They fought in the Battle of the Somme, at Vimy Ridge, and also Ypres. Many of those who returned had been gassed and wounded. Most suffered from shock. English and Douglass point out that for Hedley, a town of 400, it meant the loss of wonderful human potential. It was Andy who initiated the research two years ago. “The 100 year anniversary of the beginning of the war was coming up,” he said. “It concerned me that some of the names on the Cenotaph were no longer legible.” He had grown up in a family familiar with war. His grandfather signed up in 1940 and became an Armourer in the RAF. “He put the bombs on the planes. Much of the Battle of Britain took place over Surrey, where my family lived.” When the German bombers came, the family rushed inside and hid in their “air raid shelter”, a reinforced table. Their home suffered blown out windows and a cracked foundation. “While I was growing up, the family talked about war a lot.” Jennifer’s background is radically different. Her father, best selling author James Douglass, is a well known antiwar activist. Her grandfather 4 generations ago was

in the Confederate cavalry. “I’ve long been interested in Hedley history,” she said. When Andy asked her to help with an exhibit at the Hedley Museum, she agreed and has become a committed research partner. According to Andy, the online opening of the Attestation and Service Records made their research more productive. They devoted many hours to perusing museum records, studying the defunct Hedley Gazette, contacting family members, and delving into any possible source. Hedley involvement in the war
Private Ebenezer W. Vans of Hedley died March 3, 1916, in England, of illness, and his unit put together the funds to purchase a headstone for his grave in the Bordon Military Cemetery, Hampshire.
began when William Liddicoat signed up in the summer of 1914.“After the war,” Andy said, “he again worked in the mine and then started a dairy farm in Keremeos on what is now Liddicoat Drive.” At least 10 more men signed up before Travers Lucas, an army captain and recruiter came to town in August, 1915. Deeply moved by Lucas’ presentation, another 17 men signed up. One of the men, Alec Jack, a bank clerk walked out of the bank and enlisted. He would later win the Military Cross and become a company commander. Another recruit, Bert Schubert worked at Schubert’s Merchandise. Jack Lorenzetto, the only one born in Hedley, was of Aboriginal/ Italian descent and had grown up on the local reserve. He was conscripted in 1918. In a letter home he mentioned he was the second best shooter in his unit. When the men recruited by Lucas departed for Penticton in 5 banner bedecked cars, the whole town turned out to bid them farewell. “The Stamp Mill whistle blared,” Jennifer said. “They rang the fire bell and also the school bell. The town band played rousing music to send them off.” Later the Hedley Cenotaph was sited on the very spot where they gathered for the departure. Many of the Hedley Boys became part of the 54th Battalion. Probably due to their mining experience, some were assigned to the Canadian Engineers. The Hedley Boys wrote numerous letters, some to family and friends and others to the Hedley Gazette. “Their letters were wonderfully descriptive,” Andy said.
“There was a deep sense of identification with Hedley and the Similkameen Valley. Even those who had come from England referred to each other as Hedleyites. They mentioned Hedley in every letter.” “A number of the letters expressed appreciation for the socks knitted by the ladies,” Jennifer said. “They were also thankful to the people of Hedley and the Nickel Plate mine for Christmas packages.” The Hedley contingent developed close relationships. When Ebenezer Vans died of illness in
England, his unit put together the funds to buy a headstone for his grave site. They were called the Hedley Machine Gun Boys because a number were assigned to a machine gun unit. Most were accustomed to hard work in the mines. They were strong and fit, able to carry the heavy guns. It was a dangerous assignment, due to the enemy’s determined efforts to silence these effective weapons. Because it was so hazardous, toward the end the machine gunners were called “the Suicide Club.” Private Sid Edwards, a machine gunner, was the first Hedley boy killed. After his death the people of Hedley raised money to buy Lewis machine guns. The initial campaign raised $3,500, sufficient to buy 3 guns. In all, 11 Hedley Boys were killed in action, a very high ratio compared to other units. By the end of my conversation with Andy and Jennifer, I had a sense of their tremendous passion for the subjects of their research. “We feel like we have gotten to know them,” Jennifer said. “We’re continuing with the research,” Andy added. “We want the Hedley Machine Gun Boys to be remembered.” Because the lettering on the Hedley Cenotaph is becoming difficult to decipher, on Remembrance Day they will begin raising funds to remedy this. They want to refurbish the Cenotaph and possibly attach brass plaques with the names engraved. Anyone wanting to support this worthy endeavour can leave a message at the Hedley Heritage Museum (250-292-8787) or contact them directly.

Dollars earmarked to make Olalla water safer By this time next year construction work should be underway on a new UV water treatment facility in Olalla. The project, with an expected $200,000 price tag, will be paid for out of the Community Gas Tax program. “E. Coli showed up in the well two summers ago and the community was on a boil water advisor for quite sometime. This would alleviate that kind of problem,” Doug French, public works manager for Regional District Okanagan Similkameen said. “Where it came from we don’t know but it cleared itself out. That was the first time ever and we haven’t a problem since thankfully.” A Request for Proposals (RPF) is expected to go out sometime in the New Year. The specs of the project will be drawn up and then construction will be put to tender sometime before next fall.
UV systems are effective in removing bacteria, viruses and protozoa from water at the treatment site. At the request of residents a UV facility is the first treatment choice because most do not want a chlorinated system. “People want their delicious crisp mountain water,” Angelique Wood, RDOS director for Area G said. “We are respecting that.

Evin Hartfield, Keremeos firefighter shows students from Cawston Primary School through the fire truck after a presentation at the school regarding fire safety.
Kids help families with fire safety Review Staff
The Keremeos fire department visits schools each year with the hopes of sparking deeper safety conversations at home. Evin Hartfield, longtime Keremeos firefighter, said most often students take what they learn during the presentation and actually do help prevent fires and increase safety at their houses. “I’ve heard many stories over the years of the kids going home and hounding mom and dad about making fire safety plans, or updating wiring. Just being more careful in general,” he said following a presentation at Cawston Primary School. Throughout the presentation Hartfield reminded students to make sure they have operating smoke detectors. He used several props including a smoke detector that was once in a house on fire that still works. “These save lives. Without it someone might not know there is as fire,” he said. He encouraged children to go home and ask their parents to test the alarms and change the batteries if needed.
He mentioned several times that the majority of fires are caused by carelessness, even recounting a story of a fellow firefighter that was paged to a fire and left a pot of soup on the stove. Luckily the firefighter returned before there was too much damage. “These things happen to the best of us but we need to be really careful,” he said. In addition to talking fire safety, Hartfield brought along three high school firefighters, Coby Arnott, Kieffer Bosscha, and Tea Hartfield to help explain how students can get involved and help their communities. Several years ago the volunteer force started taking two high school students each year. The students train to become firefighters and once at an adequate level they receive a pager and are able to attend fire calls. The process takes about a year. “It really helps being able to bring the high school students because the kids see them and think they were students at the school not too long and maybe they really can become firefighters themselves,” he said.

Until last week, Grade 7 student Tristin Young had no idea he might have an interest in becoming an electrician. “I really like wiring because it doesn’t involve mess,” he said as he put the finishing touches on the trades project he was working on with classmate Dayton Hockey. For a week the students along with fellow senior grades participated in a trades program at Similkameen Elementary. About 120 students learned safety protocols, framing, complete electrical work and plumbing. “I’d never done anything like this before,” Young said. “We learned a whole
bunch of things like how to connect wires and how they had to be put in the direct spot. We used tape measures. All sorts of stuff.” This is the third year for the weeklong trades program at the school and will be the first for the program to be rolled out across school district 53. The idea came about as a way to try to educate students about the kinds of trades that are available to them if they choose and to highlight that there is a need for skilled professionals at this time, Boyd Turnbull, career education co-ordinator at the school said. Each year students are taught by trained professionals currently working in the trades and many parents come to help out.
On the last day, after students have completed their projects, representatives from Okanagan College visited to speak about how the students can pursue careers in trades. “We really wanted to promote the trades. A lot of these students would have never picked up a hammer or saw or measuring tape if it wasn’t for a program like this,” said Turnball. Over the last several years students have learned about different trades including cooking, welding, plumbing, framing and electricity. “The goal is by the end they’ve had a chance to try all the major ones and have a better idea of what a career in the trades means,” Turnbull said.

Another brother, husband, father, who has just Seen his last sunrise. The year is 2001 A group of nine year olds play war in a backyard. They don’t really know what their game symbolizes, But in 2001; nine year olds don’t’ really need to.
A mother calls them in for dinner and they drop their weapons. Bent sticks, cap guns fall to the grass to be picked up later.

CAPRICORN: Family needs take precedence over your obligations at work, Capricorn. Higher-ups will just have to be patient if they want to keep you on as an employee. AQUARIUS: Aquarius, everyone expects you to provide advice, but this week you may be in need of guidance. It could be because you have been tackling so many projects lately. Few things escape your PISCES: attention, Pisces. However, this week you can expect to be happily surprised by good news. ARIES: Aries, you can have all of the inspiration in the world, but without some practical application, your idea will stall. Spend some time thinking things through. TAURUS: You are torn between two choices, Taurus. Family matters are on one side, and work responsibilities are on the other. It may take a few days to work out a decision. GEMINI: Gemini, it’s difficult to contain all of your enthusiasm, so share your excitement and happiness with others. Try tackling some other people’s projects. CANCER: Cancer, you will be front and center in the days to come. Don’t be nervous, as you’re fully capable of handling the extra attention. Enjoy the spotlight while it lasts. LEO: Leo, you will be full of energy this week. Use this energy and enthusiasm to your advantage, tackling projects you have let go unfinished but want to get done. VIRGO: Virgo, immerse yourself in activities that put you first over the next few days. Whether it’s a date or simply alone time, enjoy it and start tending to your needs. LIBRA: Libra, getting back into the swing of things after a long vacation can be challenging. But you will have no problem getting back into a groove and getting all of your work done. SCORPIO: Try turning something you enjoy doing for fun into a career, Scorpio. Loving what you get paid to do is a key to a happy life, so figure out a way to make that happen. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, you may be adept at finding an easy way around a difficult thing, but sometimes taking the hard road offers good life lessons along the way. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY

Nuns doing Rockette kicks? SOAP is working on it “That’s why we do musicals – variety’s our spice!” sing the stagestruck nuns in the South Okanagan Players’ (SOAP) upcoming show, Nunset Boulevard. Highly anticipated ever since SOAP performed the original Nunsense in 1998, the new musical marks the return of some of the favourite characters to grace the local stage. It hits theatres the last two weeks of November. In this Dan Goggin musical, five talented nuns from Mount St Helen’s convent make their way to Tinseltown, on the strength of a contract to perform at the famous Hollywood Bowl. Even when they find out they’ve been conned and are only a lounge act at the Hollywood Bowl-a-rama, the stars in their eyes are not dimmed. The nun troupe is determined to give the bowlers a song-and-dance revue to remember. The show quickly goes sideways when the sisters discover a new Hollywood movie (the “Nunset Boulevard” of the title) is auditioning roles suited for nuns. To prepare for the casting call, the nuns pull out all the stops. Each sister loves the spotlight, performing in her own style. Reverend Mother (played by Diane Gludovatz) has vaudeville in her veins, revelling in slapstick comedy. She gets the biggest sight gags, impersonating such famous Hollywood dames like Mae West. Sister Hubert (Terri Thompson) has a heart full of soul, a bluesy
voice, and the rousing gospel number. Sister Robert Anne (Aimee Grice) belts out cabaret songs in her tough Brooklyn accent. Her risqué humour keeps Reverend Mother on her toes. Sister Amnesia (Chelsea Cameron-Horner) has been forgetful and naïve ever since a crucifix fell on her head. Her memory is in fine form however, when she sings country and MC’s the quiz show. Ambitious Sister Leo (Penelope Johnson) believes in her potential to be the convent’s “triple-threat” performer. The plot turns on her dream of breaking into show business with her singing, dancing and acting. Hummable songs span the genres from ‘50s do-wop to cabaret, hip-hop to ballads, country twang to soul. “I love the catchy music for all the songs. I find myself humming a different tune from the score every day,” Thompson said. The musical is packed with laughs including rapid-fire impressions of movie one-liners, a film quiz with prizes for the audience, and The Price is Righteous bowling game. Ray Turner, who directed the original musical Nunsense, returns to the helm. Gludovatz reprises her hilarious turn as the Mother Superior. Johnson also returns although in a different role. While Nunset Boulevard is the sixth in the series, no previous knowledge of the nun’s escapades is required to enjoy their new antics. Music

ACHES CAN BE SUCH PAIN! By David Dixon You’re not (quite) as young as you once were – who is? Now, when you get up – several times during the night, in some cases – for a ‘pit stop’, everything hurts. It never used to. Lots of body functions change as we ‘age’, including free movement. It diminishes for a number of reasons. Let’s take a look at a couple of them and how to, possibly, make those movements a bit less painful. One aspect of health that too few practitioners emphasize – according to me, anyway – is that of the acid/alkaline balance. I speak of it often – too often, likely, for some – but feel that it requires plenty of attention. After all, much of our physical woes, along with aches and pains are determined by our acid levels. Acid is increased by stress (as discussed before). The greater the stress load, the more our bodies produce acid. The more acidic we become, the more our joints feel like they’re on fire and about to snap. Another reason for our bodies to hurt and age as rapidly as they do is a bit more complicated: It pertains to free radicals. Most have heard about them, since they have become a mainstream topic. In brief, free radicals have a missing electron. So, they go throughout our system, looking for one to replace it. When they ‘discover’ a healthy cell, bingo! They steal the electron from the once-healthy cell, turning it into an UNhealthy one. This speeds up aging and hurts us - on a cellular level. And free radicals are virtually impossible to avoid. They come from the sunlight, artificial lighting, our computers (like this one) and our television sets, just to name a few sources. How do we slow down – or possibly reverse – the unsavory actions mentioned above? Well, for a start, we can begin by eating more alkaline forming foods and drinking sufficient amounts of water. Cutting back on meat consumption has shown to be beneficial, especially when the aches and pains are emitted from Gout. Eating plenty of greens and fruit usually helps to slowly bring the body back into a more favorable acid range. (Most efficient – and healthy - is a system that is slightly alkaline.) That helps, somewhat, with the acid/alkaline balance; now on to the free radical dilemma. Free radicals don’t seem to like antioxidants. These substances have come to the forefront of many a newscast in times recent. Simple antioxidants like Vitamin E, Vitamin C have been around for quite some time. Today, however, we have a plethora of nutrients, suggested because of their antioxidant properties. And many are several times more powerful than the old ‘standbys. Substances like Resveratrol (found in the skins of red grapes) are extremely powerful when used as antioxidants. Along with it, there are many more effective antioxidants that not only help with aches and pains but may help to actually slow down aging. After all, they do interfere with cellular breakdown, making it a slower process. So, slow down the cellular breakdown, slow down aging. At least, as I see it. There are plenty of other natural substances, known to help alleviate discomfort, especially in the joints. One such product is made – originally, anyway – by the silk worm larva. It is a proteolytic enzyme, meaning that it zeroes in on dead, unwanted protein substances. When taken on an empty stomach, I have known it to not just diminish joint pain, but eliminate it, entirely. At least, it did that for me, when I was seriously considering the purchase of a cane to help me get around, without too much discomfort. As you can see, there are many means of fighting back, when it comes to those nasty aches and pains. Not any one method works perfectly for everyone, so you will need to use yourself as a guinea pig, of sorts. Again, that worked for me. Cut down on the pain in your body and you will likely cut down on the amount of discomfort you cause others around you. Yes, that worked for me as well.

UNDERSTANDING MINERAL AMOUNTS When you are reading labels on a bottle for amounts of minerals it contains, look for the word “clemental”. For example, a label may list a calcium content of 1250 mg of calcium carbonate and in brackets it will say “500 mg of elemental calcium”. That’s the number you should use in calculating your daily intake of the mineral. CHOLESTEROL LEVELS When reading articles about cholesterol and levels of good and bad cholesterols (HDL and LDL), often the numbers don’t make sense. This is because the articles are American and use a different measuring system than the rest of the world. To make a quick conversion from American to our International System, simply divide by 40. That will give you a reasonably close comparison. FAINTING...EXERCISES THAT MAY HELP Dutch researchers recently studied simple exercises people could perform if they were going to faint. For example, clasping your hands across the chest and trying to pull them apart. Or you could squeeze a ball or some other object or cross your legs at the ankles while tensing the muscles of the thigh, stomach and buttocks. This muscle-flexing helped to raise blood pressure and get blood to the brain. Fainting is a symptom of something going on in your body. If you experience it often, check with your doctor to determine the cause first. But these exercises can help in a pinch. There are so many interesting ideas surfacing daily in the worlds of pharmacy and medicine. Our goal is to keep up to date to be of better service to you, our customers.

Scientists present evidence against smart meters in over 6,000 peer-reviewed journal articles. Privacy, grid security, safety and increased costs are also concerns.

sible and potentially serious threats to health from EMF are likely to be seen as prudent and wise from future perspectives.” There is no benefit to scientists in opposing smart meters, except in knowing they are doing the right thing in presenting good data enabling politicians to protect their constituents. Fortis had 45 minutes to present to the RDOS. World renowned cancer researcher, Dr. Malcolm Paterson, was given ten minutes to outline the scientific evidence underlying the growing concerns regarding the potential for nonthermal health impacts (e.g. latent
cancers) from chronic, cumulative exposure to smart meters. He has offered to meet any Fortis representative to publically discuss the complexities of this risky technology and the attendant adverse health effects. When is the public meeting on smart meters scheduled? A former Deputy Minister of Saskatchewan stated that SaskPower adopts a precautionary principle in protecting its customers. SaskPower is removing smart meters, reinstalling analog meters. Sixty jurisdictions in British Columbia have approved a moratorium on mandatory smart meter

Cops have quiet Halloween Review staff It wasn’t a freaky Halloween for local police. “It was just a regular Friday night, maybe a little busier,” RCMP Cpl. Mike Gallagher said. In total three calls came into the detachment throughout the night. One regarded a rock being thrown through a window, another was a domestic
disturbance call and a third was about someone who had drank too much alcohol and had to be put in the cells for the night. “Overall I’m really pleased, really happy on how everyone behaved,” Gallagher said. Gallagher said over his policing career he has generally seen that one year Halloween will be busy for

police and the next year things are quiet. He guessed that because there are now activities for families such as the fireworks that people are kept busy and the need to cause trouble is in decline. “We hope for another good night next year,” he said.
Great week at the lanes Our apologies Results from this week’s bowling action. The ladies had a great week at Alley Oops on Monday afternoon. Pam Irwin bowled 218, 206 = 600; Claire Carleton, 202, 207; Madeline Pruden 205. Bowling well for the men was Harold Desjardins with 286 – 656 and Norm Boucher with 224. Topping the ladies division in the Wednesday morning Goldenagers was Madeline Pruden with 236. Ron Blackmore topped the men division with 222 – 212. The Thursday morning Swingers winners were Wayne Ritchie with 197 – 195 and Dan Kirchner with 194. The bowler of the week is Harold Desjardins.
In a story in the Nov. 6 edition of the Review it was stated that residents could buy poppies at local businesses. Poppies cannot be purchased, only obtained through donation. The Review regrets the error.
Sorry Ted Douglas
Last week The Review inadvertently printed the wrong candidate response for council candidate Ted Douglas. Douglas submitted the correct response and the Review regrets the error.

Answer
I
will continue to support Similkameen businesses and agriculture, buying samples of our best wares to take on trips with me and introducing other people from throughout BC to the best products that our talented artisans and growers produce. I always make an effort to showcase the work of our residents at local government conferences, gatherings, and trips I make- and I get great feedback and further purchases from those I show the products to.I will continue to work to increase the capacity of our volunteers and their organizations to work together for the greatest benefit of all our residents. I will encourage everyone to “work smarter, not harder”. Cooperation is key. I
will keep lobbying the Province to consider the unique situation that residents of the Similkameen Valley face, whether about our watershed, air-shed or the organic farming capital of Canada. We have a sensitive environment that deserves care for not only us but future generations, and the plants and animals which cannot speak out but need consideration. The needs of all of us must be balanced, so that economic growth is not the only “marker” that we measure success by.

W
ell I’m no Superman, my short stubby figure will attest to that! Most of our community’s success is built on the hard work and dedication of the People and Organizations in our community. I am but one Cog in the wheel. My job will be to consult the community on what I can do to help them achieve their goals to the best of my ability, as your Local Government Representative. I will always answer your calls, and have time to address your concerns. I will never try to sneak in a tax increase, such as the recent Community Parks bylaw, in the back door by using the “Alternative Approval Process,” or stop companies from improving our infrastructure such as better Cellular service, without first asking
you. Right now the RDOS has Chlorination of Olalla’s water on their Capital Plan, but nobody has asked Olalla residents if they want it! This will change. We also have over $300,000.00 of Federal Gas Tax money that could be invested in our water systems, or infrastructure, so we can reduce our taxes, and Capital infrastructure costs. No grand schemes, but one step at a time, working together, we can make a great community even better.

What do you think are the two main issues facing your area and briefly what are your solutions for those issues? Answer
he 2 main issues facing the village of Keremeos as I see it are as follows: The aging infrastructure, sewage and water mains, sewage treatment plant and roads. It is absolutely essential we prepare to tackle these costly problems immediately. The ongoing problem of transients squatting and camping on public property and the riverbed. This is an extremely difficult problem to

solve. This annual abuse is caused by a continual sense of entitlement afforded to these spring and summer migrants in the past and the Village Council must address this troubling issue. The orchardists must meet their responsibilities of housing their employees, and the Village taxpayers should not be responsible for any costs incurred covering their abnormal behaviour.
Our annual meeting will be held at 7:30 pm, Wednesday November 19th in Cawston Hall.
