Mayoral candidate charges ballot tampering Tara Bowie Review Staff
Mayoral candidate Martin Menzies has sent a letter to BC Premier Christy Clark charging ballots from the recent municipal election were tampered with. In the three-page letter Menzies lists a number of concerns relating to advance poll results and election day conduct. A large portion of the letter states there should be a ratio as to how residents would vote for incumbents and first time candidates. Mayor Manfred Bauer won the advanced poll by a margin of 111 votes to 16. Bauer was re-elected with a total of 304 votes over Menzies’ 213. As he did so poorly in advance
poll, but so well on election day Menzies thinks the advanced poll ballots were somehow changed. In speaking with residents since the election on Nov. 15 Menzies claims more than 16 people have come forward as having voted for him in the advanced poll. In the letter Menzies claims he has “many more people willing to go to court and testify or sign an affidavit than I had ballots in that box.” The letter charges that the advanced poll ballot box was not securely closed on the bottom and could have easily been tampered with during the 10 days between the advanced and election day polls. Laurie Taylor, CAO of the village and chief elections officer, said immediately after the election the

box was put into the village office vault. “It was locked in our vault from that night from about 8:05 p.m. on November 5 until I came to pick it
up the morning of the 15th to bring it in Victory Hall,” she said. “No one was ever alone with the ballot box here.” She added the box was secure and that it came open as an elections officer tried to show Menzies that there were no more ballots in the box. Voters must register at time of voting and that list is used to cross reference how many ballots were cast in the election. Taylor said the number of ballots cast matches the number of people on the voters list. In the letter Menzies outlines a variety of other problems he had with how the election was run and calls for a review of legislation in regards to reporting poll problems.
Menzies stated he spent more than a day on the phone with BC Elections and Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development and in the end he was told to hire a lawyer and file a complaint with the court by Dec. 19. Mayor Manfred Bauer said he has full confidence in the village’s election staff. “I have full confidence in the electoral system in BC and I don’t see how it would even be possible to rig in any way the outcome of an election without having a large number of people ... working on a conspiracy to commit fraud and I don’t believe that is the case,” he said. “I have a full confidence in our local election staff. I think this is a really bad case of sour grapes.”
Local family is making a world of difference Tara Bowie Review Staff
Always on the lookout for a good property buy Roger Clinton and wife Gerrie Harker found themselves investing in more than just land. The couple, who lives near Keremeos, has worked tirelessly over the last few years to build a school, and develop proper roads and an electricity grid, for an impoverished community in Honduras. “The little kids down there they don’t really have a lot of a hope, but they are the happiest children you would ever meet,” Harker said during an interview with the Review about an upcoming fundraiser. Clinton, a Rotarian, originally travelled to the Central American country through his not-for-profit work before buying property site unseen. Several years ago while going to check out his buy he stayed at an Ocean resort and while there asked the staff if there was a community nearby that needed financial help. He was taken to the mountain town of Esperancita, near the historic Spanish colonial city of Trujillo on the northern Caribbean coast of Honduras. “When he saw how desperate the need was he said ‘I’m going back. I have to go back,’” Harker said. “The kindergarten school had a dirt floor and insects and little
vermin everywhere. There was no real light coming in... dark and dingy and damp not good for the heir health.” They put up the money – about $8,000 – themselves to help the community build a new primary school and to build a road because bringing supplies in was almost impossible. They now want to build a main school for children up to Grade 10. The cost is estimated at about $15,000. The couple have secured a portion of the finances already from private donors including friend Colin Foo, and anonymous donors. The Osoyoos Rotary Club, which Clinton is a member of, is also supporting the project Before heading to Honduras Sunday to start the build a buy-a-brick fundraiser at Rustic Roots winery in Cawston is being held. The fundraiser takes place between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday at the winery owned by Bruce Harker. A brick is $10. A powerpoint presentation will play in the background so people can become acquainted with the project. There will also be door prizes and food. Small donations will be Submitted photo accepted at the door and the sale of each Roger Clinton, left, and Bruce Harker stand outside the old kindergarten building in glass of wine will be donated to the cause by Esperancita, Honduras. Clinton donated his own money to build a new building there and is now working on a second school in the mountain village. Rustic Roots.

This year’s Light Up celebration offers a jam packed lineup of events sure to interest everyone. “There’s something for everybody and it’s a community celebration. It’s a time everyone gets together and celebrates as a community,” Colleen Christensen, from Similkameen Country said. “I’ve talked to Santa and he’s okay if we don’t have snow. He can still make it to Keremeos without snow and without the Keremeos wind.” The excitement kicks off at 3 p.m. Friday Dec. 5 with the Similkameen Country Christmas Craft Fair at Victory Hall. The annual craft fair presents a variety of vendors for shoppers looking for unique gift ideas and delicious baked goods. The Christmas Light Up parade starts promptly at 5:30 p.m. At Valu Plus and ends at the village office. Throughout the parade many of the area businesses will remain open and will offer special treats for parade goers. Santa will make a special visit to Victory Hall following the parade to visit with children. Children will be treated to hotdogs and hot chocolate by Valu Plus and Valley First as they await their visit with Santa. The start of the skating season kicks off at 7 p.m. at the Keremeos Recreation Centre Ice Rink. Regular prices apply.

Grab your shovels and obey the law
Thursday, November 27, 2014 The Review
Welcome to winter Keremeos. With snow falling in copious amounts on city streets it’s a good time for a brush-up on the village’s fairly new Good Neighbour By-Law and the local rules for snow and ice removal. If you are a resident you must have all snow and ice removed from sidewalks bordering your property by 6 p.m. If you are a business, the same expectation applies but it must be done before 10 in the morning. All property owners are responsible for removing snow and ice from roofs or other structures from which it could fall, within 24 hours of accumulation. Do not deposit snow or ice onto sidewalks, streets, or private or village property. Finally if you know someone who is elderly, or infirm, or maybe just a busy single parent with small children – give that person a hand with the shovel. That’s not in the Good Neighbour By-Law, but it sure is being a good neighbour.
There is still The many benefi ts of a new phone time to get shot
The truly distressing news is there is a serious illness circulating through the province right now. It kills more than 3,500 Canadians each year. In British Columbia, this illness has started its spread earlier than in past, and because of its particular strain it may be even more deadly than usual. On the bright side, you can still get a flu shot. Last week the BC Centre for Disease control issued a statement urging residents – especially the elderly – to get a flu shot, even though it has been found this year’s vaccine is not a perfect match to one of the three target strains. In other words your flu shot may not be as effective as in other seasons, but you should get one anyways. There are still some people who are suspicious of vaccines and flu shots in particular, and others who will use that concern as an excuse to not get vaccinated because its just too much trouble. Go with science. Centre for Disease Control is a pretty impressive tag for a government service. The job title “epidemiologist” is fairly notable as well. These are names that convey trust. Last year the flu vaccine was found to be 70 percent effective against the then-dominant H1N1 strain. This year’s vaccine may be less effective as the H3N2 strain has shown signs of severely mutating since the vaccine was developed eight months ago, but it can still offer some protection. Also, it is always good practice to wash your hands frequently during flu season, and avoid touching you eyes, nose and mouth. For a flu shot clinic locator go to immunizebc.ca.

Tragic story of war ends in new friendship
Richard Lubiak & Natalie Nesterenko in the Hedley Library, where it all began. Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca
When Richard Lubiak of Hedley was born in 1937, his Ukrainian homeland was in crises. He and his mother were among the fortunate ones who later escaped the escalating danger. Richard called recently and said, “I have a story to tell you. Come for coffee”. Over a cup of delicious brew in his home near the Similkameen River, he told his story. It’s a moving account of war,
turmoil, and love for Ukrainian culture and people. He began with a brief outline of a chaotic time in Ukrainian history. The Russians had a stranglehold on much of the country. They imposed collectivization of farms, imprisoned and killed millions, and engineered a devastating famine. Ukrainian men joined various militias to fight them. “In the midst of the turmoil and violence,” Richard said, “two sol-
diers in the Ukrainian Army became friends. They were fighting the Bolsheviks. One was my future step-father. The other was Mr. Nesterenko, an artillery gunner. They fought against the Bolsheviks for the Czar, then against Russia. The Ukrainians’ plight deepened with the advent of WWII. In June, 1941, Hitler began his drive toward Moscow by invading Ukraine. Initially many saw the Wehrmacht as
liberators. Some joined Nazi units. “The region where my family lived was under Polish rule and here the Germans were good to us,” Richard said. “It didn’t take long though, for people in other areas to decide they were only slightly better than the Russians.” The Germans forced Ukrainian men to work hard. They pulled children off the streets and sent them to Germany to work. Approximately 10 million Ukrainians were killed during the war years. “When the Russians started pushing the Nazis back,” Richard said, “the retreating army destroyed everything.” Fearing Stalin’s troops, about 2 million Ukrainians fled with the Wehrmacht. Richard was 6 when he, his mother and other relatives, hid in a root cellar behind German trenches. He was lying on his grandmother’s lap when a Russian bullet hit her in the abdomen, killing her. At this time, Richard’s father was in the Polish army, fighting the Russians. Because his mother was a nurse, the Wehrmacht took them along. “They put us in a Displaced Persons camp” he said. “Our people kept the camp clean and organized. They set up schools.” He still feels pride at the way Ukrainian people responded to difficult circumstances. For 11 years his mother looked for his father. Eventually the Polish
Red Cross informed her he had been executed by the Russians. “In this camp mother met my step father. They were married and in 1949 we emigrated to Toronto. There was a substantial Ukrainian community and an Orthodox Church.” In the upheaval, Richard’s step-father had lost contact with his friend, Mr. Nesterenko. The man had emigrated some years earlier. It was a moment of great joy when they met again in the Orthodox Church. “Our families spent a lot of time together,” Richard recalls, “the Nesterenkos had two children. Often we went to their cottage at the lake.” When Mr. Nesterenko died, the families drifted apart. “I didn’t see them again. In 1958 I married Margaret, a Dutch girl, and in 1979 we began a new life in BC. Richard sold cleaning products and Margaret ran their janitorial business. For 9 years they also operated a B&B in Princeton. In 2007 they moved to an idyllic setting east of Hedley. Sadly, after a heroic battle with cancer, Margaret passed away this summer. An avid reader, Richard continued visiting the Hedley library each Thursday. One day, on a white board showing whose book requests had come in, he was astonished to see the name Nesterenko. Remembering his step-father’s friend, he made inquiries and learned that Natalie, daughter of the friend,
Teen arrested for broken window Review Staff
Windows at the K-Cafe in downtown Keremeos are boarded up after they were broken last Wednesday.
A 17-year-old boy was arrested by Keremeos RCMP after allegedly damaging several front windows in the K-Cafe and Lower Similkameen Indian Band office on 7th Avenue on Nov. 19. The youth was apprehended shortly after the incidents at about 8:30 p.m. The incident is still under investigation. The youth’s name cannot be released under the Young Offender’s Act.

Pets “are little miracle workers” Tara Bowie Review Staff
A couple of four legged felines, a curmudgeonly cockatiel, and some frisky fish help create a homey atmosphere at Orchard Haven and River Valley Lodge. So when one of the beloved pets gets injured it makes a big impact not only on the animals but also the residents. “They are little miracle workers that’s what they are. It’s amazing,” Eirinn MacDonald, program coordinator at Orchard Haven said. “I’ve seen it that people who can’t usually bend down can to pet one of the cats. They just make the place very homelike.” Recently Schroeder one of the home’s cats, also known as Moo Cow, sustained a leg injury after being caught in one of the big doors leading to outside. The courteous cat goes in and out throughout the day to do his business and primarily lives in River Valley Lodge comforting the patients with severe dementia. “It was just an accident. He went to Dr. Henry Kleinhofmeyer in Osoyoos. He was checked out and ended up on antibiotics and pain killers. He ended up with a badly bruised leg,” MacDonald said. The therapy pet program at Orchard Haven and River Valley Lodge is funded for the most part by the staff who make donations to cover costs. For Schroeder’s vet bills staff chipped in and Cawston Tire made a generous
Dupuis bowler of the week Monday afternoon on Alley Oops ladies winners were Kristina Dupuis, 276 - 631, Madeline Pruden, 232, Pam Irwin, 211, and Helen Witter, 224, 201. For the men high bowlers were Bruce Crossman, 262 – 608, Harold Desjardins, 203, Wayne Ritchie, 232, Frank Shiels, 205, and Norm Boucher, 207. In the Goldenagers Wednesday morning bowling league the high score for ladies was Ruby Cavenaile, 212, and Bruce Crossman, 204, for the men. Dorothy Barstad bowled a 207 to clinch the top ladies spot in the Thursday morning Swingers league while Wayne Ritchie bowled a 248. The bowler of the week was Kristina Dupuis.

donation to the pet fund. “That was great. We really appreciate it,” she said. The pets daily needs are paid for through staff donations so when an emergency comes up requiring vet care the crunch is on to find additional funds. Staff usually steps up in that way as well. “We see what a difference they make and really believe in the program,” she said. All the animals that live at the homes were rescued from the SPCA. “That’s the great thing. We’re able to get
an older cat from there that might not have found another home and they have it pretty great here,” she said. In January a new pet fund drive is being initiated and staff is inviting all the citizens and businesses in the area to donate. The goal is to raise about $60 a month to offset costs of the program. All donors will be provided a tax receipt. Checks as well as cash donations can be dropped off at Orchard Haven or the front desk of the Diagnostic Centre, or sent directly to the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation at 550 Carmi Ave., Penticton V2A 929.

VICTORIA – B.C. government liquor stores are losing their wholesale price advantage next spring, but will also have the option of opening Sundays and evenings with chilled offerings to help them compete with private stores. The change to a single wholesale price for every product takes effect April 1, the same date B.C. is permitting private or government liquor sales in separate facilities inside grocery stores. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the change is to create a “level playing field” for liquor retailing in B.C., after private store operators complained that the existing system gave government stores an unfair price advantage. Currently the Liquor Distribution Branch, the government monopoly wholesaler, sells products to government stores
at cost and sets a minimum price for all retailers. The wholesale price for private retail stores is 16 per cent less than that retail price, rural agency stores pay 12 per cent less, and stores that sell only B.C. wine get a 30 per cent discount. A new wholesale price structure for the thousands of products sold in liquor stores will be the same for all retailers, set to retain the $1 billion in revenues the province takes in annually from liquor sales. Anton said she doesn’t expect substantial changes in retail prices. The B.C. Government Employees Union, representing government liquor store staff, welcomed the Sunday openings and increased hours to help their stores compete. “The move to a single wholesale price will only be in the public interest if it protects and expands over time provincial revenue,” said BCGEU president Stephanie Smith.
Premier Christy Clark said the government’s liquor policy review showed “people really like their government liquor stores” because of the wide selection and welltrained staff. Clark agreed with Smith that government stores are well positioned to compete with private outlets, which are generally not unionized and pay lower wages. The government is also changing its tax system for breweries to eliminate the steep increase that applies when small breweries reach a certain level of production. Anton said that is designed to encourage growth of craft breweries, which currently employ 2,500 people in B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch officials are also working on a system of higher prices for high-alcohol beverages, a measure long recommended by Provincial Health Officer Perry Kendall to discourage overconsumption.

Elks wrangle up fun at volunteer appreciation Tara Bowie Review Staff
Volunteers recognized volunteers Saturday night at Elks Lodge in Keremeos. The annual volunteer appreciation night at Lodge #56 honoured those that aren’t regular members of the organization but that give their time to help put on events throughout the year. “We wanted to take a night and show our appreciation and let people know that Elks are fun,” vice president of the club Mac Watson said. Throughout the year the club of about 50 volunteers relies on the help of about 120 non-member volunteers to put on different events. One of the largest events is the rodeo that takes place each May long weekend. The two day event is the club’s biggest event. “It’s all hands on board for that event,” Watson said. “We wouldn’t be able to put it on without all the support we get from the community.”
Throughout the evening volunteers were treated to a spaghetti dinner, games of chance and then a funny money auction. All prizes were donated by local businesses. “We really appreciate all the support we get from everyone,” Watson said. The Elks organization has been going through a transition period over the last few years. Watson said the club has really tried to raise its profile and make people aware of all the good things they do in the community. “A lot of people just don’t know what we do. We kind of go unnoticed. Everyone else is mentioned but people don’t realize we’re helping out at events and putting on things all the time,” Watson said. In addition to the rodeo, the Elks also run the breakfast at Memorial Park on July 1 weekend and at the Cars Under the K event in August. The club serves up the breakfast and lunch at Sizzlefest as well.
They also run a weekly bingo at the hall. They’ve added two new events to the calendar for this year including a free breakfast with Santa at the Elks Lodge Saturday morning of Light Up and there will be a street dance during this year’s Cars Under the K event. “We want to offer something fun for people to do. That’s really what we’re about is having fun and helping children,” Watson said. The club focusses its efforts on helping children through a variety of ways by either holding kid friendly events throughout the year or donating to children’s causes including DARE, a bursary at the high school and children’s camps among others. The club also donates to help buy special equipment for children with disabilities in the community and other items. The Elks meet twice a month during the winter months and are always looking for new members.

Amanda Elyzen busy preparing the set for Cawston Players’ Christmas Show, Boeing-Boeing ostage at the Cawston Hall, December 5, 6 and 7.
There’s still time to get tickets to the Cawston Players upcoming show Boeing-Boeing. The Cawston Players will tred the boards at Cawston Community Hall in their annual Christmas Production on December 5 and 6 at 7 p.m. with a Matinee on Sunday, December 7 at 2 p.m. The players have been bringing entertaining theatre to the community for the past 13 years and most recently presented A Christmas Chaos in 2012 and Hotel Bethlehem in 2013. This Light Up Weekend, it’s Boeing-Boeing, a comic farce in the French style in which the hapless heroes find themselves scurrying from room to room to cover their tracks and trying the patience of a perturbed housekeeper. Bernard’s Paris apartment is visited by his American chum, Robert just as advances in air travel threaten to crash Bernard’s courtship of three stewardesses. Their arrivals and departures no longer fit Bernard’s cleverly concocted romantic deceptions. “Voila! It’s 5 p.m. Thursday. Hello, Gretchen, my love! Non, non, non. Surprise! It’s Gabrielle, my sweet.” And so the pace quickens and laughs abound in one tight spot after another. Boeing-Boeing was a 1960’s movie hit with Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis as the befuddled boys. Cawston actor Guy Sasseville gives us Bernard and Eben McKiblin is Robert. Girls on the fly are Robynne Frasch, Amanda Elyzen and Holly Hart. Players newcomer, Heather Paananen, oversees themayhem as housekeeper. Boeing-Boeing Director is Bob McAtamney assisted by Amanda Elyzen. Tickets are $12 at Cawston Marketplace and Similkameen Agencies.

Schmauder driven to succeed
Tara Bowie Review Staff
From packages to people, Tyson Schmauder is the newest business owner in town having recently opened Keremeos Taxi. The young man who originally hails from Manitoba said he loves driving and was looking for a new venture after selling his courier business in Penticton several years ago. “The packages talk back now,” he said with a laugh about the difference between the courier business and the taxi company. Schmauder and his wife Heidi, a BC native, moved to Keremeos about a year ago after spending time travelling across Canada. They decided to open the taxi company after realizing there was no other business like it in the immediate area. The company officially started rolling Nov. 17. Schmauder said for a new company he’s doing well. “We get about six calls a day right now but for opening just 10 or 12 days ago that’s pretty good,” he said. Currently there’s just one vehicle on the road with Schmauder as the main driver. He hopes in time to add other vehicles and employees. “It’s really a variety of trips right now. A lot of people are looking for rides to Cawston I have gone to Penticton and a lot have been for just around town,” he said. “I have to say I’ve really fallen in love with Keremeos and Cawston. It’s been great getting to know everyone.” Schmauder says his fares are more than fair when you compare them to neighbouring communities. His rate starts at $2.75 to get in the cab and it’s an additional $2 for every kilometre.
Tara Bowie Tyson Schmauder, owner of Keremeos Taxi opened his new business Nov. 17. He said he’s overwhelmed and grateful by the response from the community.
He is offering flat rates for some towns for example a ride from Keremeos to Penticton is $65 while competition is offering a rate of $90. “There is some savings there for sure,”
he said. In addition to rides, Schmauder also does deliveries. There is a flate rate of $10 for deliveries in Keremeos and $15 to Cawston. The taxi is equipped with a digital credit/
MOVEMBER IS PROSTATE HEALTH AWARENESS - Prostate Cancer: The Basics By OK In Health
PART II
Tests for Determine Prostate Cancer: There are two tests to check for prostate cancer, the prostate specific antigen test (PSA) and the digital rectal exam (DRE). The PSA is a simple blood test that can be ordered by any doctor. The test measures the amount of prostate specific antigen present in the blood. PSA is a protein that is naturally produced by the prostate. Prostate cancer glands will release a higher amount of PSA than healthy glands, and as such, a high PSA level may be a warning sign of prostate cancer. The digital rectal exam involves a doctor inserting a gloved finger into the rectum to in an effort to feel for any abnormalities on the prostate. Combining the two tests provides the most accurate results. Preventing Prostate Cancer: The best way for men to prevent prostate cancer is to ensure regular testing. If the disease is caught early the chances of overcoming it are very large. There are a variety of treatments for early stage prostate cancer that are effective at containing the disease. Men can also maintain a diet low in saturated fats and high in fibre and incorporate exercise into their daily routines.

With their “Mo’s”, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health initiatives. On Movember 1st, guys register at Movember.com with a clean-shaven face. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts. Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words, they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health. At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their gallantry and valour by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Partés held around the world by Movember, for Movember.

PREGNANCY AND MEDICATIONS If you are pregnant, you shouldn’t take any medications until you check with your doctor and pharmacist. Some medications can be harmful to the fetus. Two chemicals you certainly shouldn’t take are tobacco and alcohol. VITAMINS Vitamins are either water-soluble or fat-soluble. Water soluble vitamins include vitamins B and C. The fat-soluble type includes vitamins A, D, E and can be taken once daily. Water soluble ones like vitamin C should be taken in divided doses of two to three times a day for best effect. MEDICAL CREAMS & OINTMENTS When pharmacists put the word “sparingly” on a prescription label for a cream or ointment, it means that slathering on a large quantity will not work any better than using a small amount and may in fact be dangerous over time. Many of these creams are quite potent and it doesn’t require much to get a positive effect. Our pharmacy education didn’t stop with our graduation from university. We believe in the concept of life-long learning so we can better fulfill our professional obligations to you, our customers.

Atamanenko argues to keep Canadian troops out of combat Alex Atamanenko, MP BC Southern Interior
Canada is once again off to war in an area of the world that has been increasingly destabilized since the illegal US invasion in 2003. In spite of the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives of Iraqi citizens, the displacement of a million people and the loss of thousands of American lives, this area has progressively slid into chaos. Now, our country has volunteered to take part in an airstrike mission to assist the Americans as have done other countries. However, a number of prominent figures such as retired General Dallaire as well as a number of Obama’s generals have publicly stated that air strikes are not enough. To effectively secure this area ground troops will be essential. I do not believe that Canada should be involved in a combat mission of any sort in this volatile region and have always mainW ATM NO LE! B A L I A V A

tained that we only send our young men and women into battle as a very last resort. Surely we must have learned from the heavy toll that Afghanistan took on our country and the chaos that bombing Libya has brought to North Africa. The Americans have a number of options that must involve total cooperation of all countries in the region including Iran as well as the UN Security Council, including Russia. It is up to them to come up with a workable solution to bring about peace. Canada could play a much greater role to help alleviate the suffering of those civilians caught in this cross fire. Our Foreign Affairs critic, Paul Dewar, visited Northern Iraq in September for the second time. When he visited the first time in 2007, the warning signs of a deep and prolonged conflict were apparent. Sectarian violence was engulfing the country and another

wave of extremist violence struck in 2009. In just 20 years, Iraq’s Christian population was cut in half to 700,000 from 1.3 million. The long-term needs then and now were much the same. Iraq needs good governance. Its youth need hope and opportunity. And even back in 2007, the Iraqis were asking for Canada’s help in democratic development and transitional justice. There were clear steps Canada could have taken then to help prevent the conditions that have fostered the violent extremism we are facing today. But at that time, our hands were tied with another ill-defined military mission in Afghanistan and the Conservative government put little stock in democratic development. Seven years later, our Iraqi counterparts are again calling for Canada to help. Specifically, they want assistance in four areas: building refugee camps, aiding victims of sexual violence, providing targeted assis-

tance for minority groups, and investigating and prosecuting war crimes. The government has made a clear commitment to end sexual violence in Iraq as a major first step. However, concrete action is needed in other areas, including the urgent need for camp winterization. Rushing headlong into a combat role will mean fewer resources for humanitarian assistance. While the coalition’s air power gets stronger every day, there is a growing gap in the humanitarian response to the refugee crisis — a gap that Canada is uniquely wellsuited to fill. Thanks to the Kurdish Peshmerga forces that have secured the refugee camps, it is not ISIL that threatens the lives of the refugees Paul Dewar met in Erbil — it is the harsh winter conditions that will take over these camps in a few short weeks. Let’s focus our efforts on saving their lives.

Legion hustling and bustling this season There’s lots going on at the Keremeos Legion over the next few weeks. The end of the early bird membership renewal season is coming to an end on November 30. No cheaper dues this year but don’t miss your chance to enter into a draw to win 2016 dues for free. Looking for a wreath to place on the grave of a loved one? The Legion has several wreaths left over
from Remembrance Day, which cannot be sold again. There are varying sizes and some crosses. This year November 30 is Grey Cup Sunday. The Legion will be open and would like to see a few volunteers earlier in the day at about 11 a.m. or so to decorate the canteen in this years theme. The Legion hasn’t been in the running the last few years for priz-
es, so members are looking for ideas and decorating talents to help achieve top prize this year.
After decorating stay and watch the game. Kickoff is 3 p.m. And there will be a potluck, snacks and
fun all afternoon. The Legion is collecting nonperishable items for a couple of hampers for some needy families here in Keremeos. The Legion’s Branch Chaplain will find the families in need for us. Please consider dropping by with a donation. Don’t forget the end-of-themonth dinner and dance the last Saturday of the month on November

Norman was born in Medicine Hat, Alberta and passed away peacefully in Penticton on November 14. He grew up on the Homestead in the Riding Mountains of Manitoba before he came out to BC in 1937 and met the love of his life, Betty King, in Kaleden. They married in 1941 and for the most part made their home in Kaleden where they brought up their seven children. Sadly Betty became unwell and passed away in 1984. He is also predeceased by two subsequent wives, Verna in 1987 and Jean in 2003 as well as son-in-law, Wes in 2004. Norman is survived by his seven children, Marilyn (Ron) Clarkson of Mission; Fred (Ginger) of Lynden, Wash.; Fran DeZeeuw, Robert (Joanne), Don (Colleen), Sandes (Sharon), all of Kaleden; Beverley (Jean) of Tsawassen; 15 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Also survived by a special brother-in-law, Fred King; many nieces and nephews; sister, Maxine (Ken) Herrington of Hedley; brother, Donald (Dolly) of Lake Country. Sadly predeceased by brothers, Dick, Frank, Cecil, Desmond, Weldon and sisters, Betty and Eileen. Norman served in the army during the 2nd world war with the “Irish Fusiliers” though he never saw active service. Following his discharge and a short time in Vancouver, Norman began life in the 2kanagan Àrst as an orchardist, then moving on to heavy construction and eventually carpentry, working on many different projects locally and away from home. But he always enjoyed his life in the orchard during his retirement, where he continued to sell his cherries and meet people from many places which he enjoyed. He was quite a character and many stories have been told of his various escapades. He always joined in with the laughter at those incidents as much as anyone. Eventually he was no longer able to care for himself and moved into assisted living at Cherry Park and then on to Trinity Care Centre, where he has been wonderfully cared for the last four years of his life. Many thanks to the caring staff there...too many to mention by name and he loved all of you. A Celebration of his Life will be held at the Kaleden Community Church at 11a.m., December 13, light refreshments to follow. In lieu of Áowers, a donation may be made to the charity of your choice......“he crossed over and all the trumpets sounded on the other side”...John Bunyan.

CHURCHILL (Churby) ROOSEVELT COOK Churchill (Churby) Roosevelt Cook of Lillooet, B.C. passed away peacefully at Lillooet District hospital on November 16 , 2014 with his wife (Donna) & family by his side. He was born to the late William & Sarah Cook , October 10, 1942 in Dodsland, SK. Churby is survived by his wife Donna and his sons Thomas (Joy) and Warren (Erin), and his daughter Tina Cook. Churby also leaves behind his grandchildren, Sawyer, Mikayla, Aidan & Jace of whom he was so very proud. Churby had 13 siblings and is survived by Patience (Lloyd), William (Lillian), Milton (Kathleen), Havy (Jean), Earl (Emerald), Shirley (Ole), Garth, Elmira (Arny), Mary, Verna (Ron) and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by siblings Eunice, Elsie & Ronald. We were truly fortunate to have such a devoted husband, wonderful father and grandfather. Churby was a great provider and family meant everything to him. Churby had a quiet strength, and was an amazing role model for his children. He was easy going and down to earth, but he also passed along his strong work ethic by example. If the greatest thing a father can do for his wife and family is to love and provide, Churby did this in spades. God blessed him with a large family and many friends who adored him . His face would light up whenever family entered the room, and he was always happiest amidst family and friends. He was thrilled to lend a hand wherever and whenever it was needed and spent much of his time helping others. He was known for his smile & his kind-heartedness. He liked to keep a pulse on everything that was happening in all facets of his family and made sure that everyone was looked after even down to the smallest details. By trade he was an automotive mechanic & after apprenticing at a brothers’ dealership in Penticton, B.C., he ran a Volkswagen dealership in Osoyoos and then later in Grand Forks. In 1980 he sold the dealership and moved to Lillooet to work in the logging industry with another brother. 1998 Churby and his eldest son started a logging company in which they worked side by side until his semi-retirement in 2010. In his semi-retirement he continued to work at his nephews garage as a mechanic until his health prevented him from doing so. Churby, thank you for being the man you were. You are forever loved and missed by us all. Lastly, to all of the family and friends who were by Churby’s side throughout his battle with pulmonary Àbrosis, you were nothing short of amazing and it will never be forgotten. Service to be held at Lillooet District Rec. Center gymnasium at 1 p.m. Saturday, November 29th, 2014 , followed by food & refreshments.

BROUWER
THEODORUS JOHANNES (TED)
December 11, 1925 ~ November 21, 2014:
With bravery and customary wit, Ted approached his last days organizing, directing and managing, even planning his eventual celebration, finally passing quietly in the morning of November 20, 2014, at the age of nearly 89, after a month long hospitalization. Diagnosed with a kidney tumour in 2013, Ted chose to have no life-prolonging treatments. Apart from a growing fatigue, and two weeks in the hospital in May, he remained comfortable in the home he shared with his wife of 53 years, Pauline. He continued to direct the operation of his small vineyard that he named Grouse Pointe, and to call and receive friends as often as possible. He was always ready with a joke or a“hello, Charlie”, and was equally without airs or pretense, infamously stating, “After the third glass of wine, it all tastes the same.” “Ja, Ted Brouwer speaking,” was the phrase you would hear on the phone when he called, often referring to himself as “the old dutch guy out of the vineyard.” Ted was rarely one to mince words. If he liked you, you were lucky, and you would be the recipient of his boundless loyalty and great affection. If he didn’t, you may have been equally as unlucky. He was forthright in all of his endeavours. Bawdy jokes, long trailing conversations, his entire life story: what you saw was what you got. Ted was born in Heemstede, Netherlands, December 11, 1925. He spent time in Indonesia as a young man working as a medic in the Dutch Army, developing many close friendships that remain to this day. He emigrated to Canada in 1951 and arrived in Halifax with $45. Working his way across Canada, he lived in Vancouver for some years before moving to the Okanagan. In 1961 he met and married Pauline and they had two children, Jacqueline and John. In 1967 Ted began managing Inkameep Vineyard in Oliver, for the Oliver Osoyoos Band, through the Department of Indian Affairs, growing it to 360 acres and bringing in a major winery. In 1982, he and Pauline bought a small orchard, later converted into a vineyard. He then volunteered as an agricultural consultant to First Nations in BC and Alberta for CESO, Canadian Executive Service Organization, until 1992. Attending the 60th anniversary of the Liberation of Holland in 1995 was a highlight for the couple. Ted’s brother passed away shortly after their visit. In 1997 they suffered the loss of their son, John. In 2005 Ted was seriously injured in a tractor accident. He recovered well and The Farm Safety Council of Canada chose him to be their spokesperson in 2006. A mini-documentary on his life and work aired in 2006 on Ontario television. In 2012, Ted received the Banée Award in recognition of his lifetime contribution to the wine industry, and was recognized by the wine writer John Schreiner with a dedication in his book on Okanagan wines. He was a strong voice for the grapegrower and the agricultural aspect of the wine industry. Ted lived outspokenly and expected fairness, honesty, and good faith from everyone. He would repay loyalty with loyalty and you would have a friend for life. He was a man’s man, and believed that a man’s handshake was as good as his word. Ted had his own way of doing everything in life. The more he thought about something, the more he had an opinion on it. He thought a lot, and wrote much. He marked his own path, and trod it with grit and determination. He was brave to the end. Ted chose the following passage: Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glint on snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain I am the gentle autumn rain When you wake in the morning hush I am the swift uplifting rush 2f Tuiet birds in FirFling Àight I am the soft starlight at night Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there I do not sleep Ted is survived by his wife Pauline, his daughter Jacqueline, and her family (Michael, Jonah and Elijah), his step sons, Glenn and Jim Collier, and their families. Condolences may be sent to PO Box 1825, Oliver V0H 1T0. Ted’s family wishes to thank Dr. A. Devries, Dr. M. Devries, Dr. M. Myslek, Dr. A. Ruddiman and all the caring and supportive nurses and aides at South Okanagan General Hospital and at Sunnybank Centre. Your kindness and care was very much appreciated. A graveside service will be held at 1:00 P.M. Monday December 1, 2014 at the Oliver Municipal Cemetery. A celebraƟon oĨ liĨe recepƟon will Ĩollow at 2:00 P.M. at the Oliver Community Centre.

Petrified wood returned to Keremeos Visitor Centre
Tara Bowie
The Opalized Sequoia Wood dating back 20 to 40 million years was recently mounted in front of the Visitor Centre. The piece was found on Crater Mountain and donated to the town by Larry Faggetterin honour of the Doug Parsons Family.
Review Staff A more than 20 million-yearold artifact has been returned to its place outside the Visitor Centre in Keremeos. The impressive Opalized Sequoia Wood was landscaped into the front flower beds and secured to the ground a few weeks ago. “We had it moved when the centre was being built because we were all sort of afraid that it would be run over and damaged,” Colleen Christensen, manager of Similkameen Country and the Visitor Centre said. The Sequoia’s bark, cinnamon in colour, can sometime be two-feet thick. The wood outside the visitor centre,
which dates back anywhere between 20 to 40 million years, was removed from the site and taken care of by staff at the village office for several years. “I just want to say thank you. Thanks to the village staff for all that they do for the Similkameen Country and the Lower Similkameen,” Christensen said. Christensen added a lot of people ask what the wood is when stopping in at the centre and are shocked when they are told. “They’re blown away with how old it is,” she said.

BC growers produced Canada’s largest fruit tree crop in 2013, generating nearly $103 million in farm cash receipts.
The Government of B.C. is investing $8.4 million over seven years to B.C. fruit growers for the tree replant program supporting producers’ efforts to meet consumer demands for highvalue and high-quality B.C. fruit. Growers can apply for grants beginning April 1, 2015 through to the 2021 season. An estimated 1,500 acres of orchards will be replanted over the length of the program. “Our government and local growers worked hard together to ensure this program remains in place so B.C. fruit growers can implement longterm and sustainable tree fruit operations on their lands,” Linda Larson, MLA for Boundary-Similkameen said. “B.C. fruit production is a
major economic driver in our region, with products grown right here in the South Okanagan, Boundary and Similkameen exported to markets in Asia, Europe and across North America. I am pleased to see this program extended.” The new program builds on the recent success of growers who replanted low-value orchards with high-demand and high-quality varieties like Ambrosia apples and late-season cherries. B.C. growers produced Canada’s second largest tree fruit crop in 2013, generating almost $103 million in farm cash receipts. Program applications and criteria will soon be available on the BC Fruit Growers Association website.
