Weather creates havoc for village Tara Bowie Review Staff
Rapid wet snowfall and freezing temperatures wreaked havoc last week as drivers adjusted to conditions on area roads. Keremeos RCMP Cpl. Mike Gallagher said 10 collisions occurred within the span of just a few hours during the first significant snow of the season last Tuesday. “It started happening around 3 p.m. Or 3:15 p.m. Call one came in and then the second one came in and then so on,” Gallagher said. “It was a bigger storm than usual. The snow came so fast and accumulated on the roads.” Of the 10 collisions, mainly involving vehicles in ditches, just one truck driver needed to be transported to hospital. An RCMP officer worked well into the early hours of Wednesday morning to help keep the public safe as downed power lines started occurring throughout the area. “We got the roads under control and then the power lines started coming down. It just got so wet and heavy that the lines were coming down in at least three spots.” he said. No roads in the area had to be closed down because of snow accumulation or downed power lines. Crews around the village were kept busy cleaning area streets, CAO Laurie Taylor said. The night of the storm, Tuesday, the village’s sander/plow and plow were out until 11

p.m. and then back in at 5 a.m. Wednesday. A contractor came in to help clean up as well. “It was a non-expected snow fall but on the whole I think our guys did great,” Taylor said. “They were pretty tired by the end of Wednesday.” Mayor Manfred Bauer also applauded the
staff for their hard work. “It came down so heavy, so wet, so fast. Considering the amount that came down they did a great job. It’s not going to be perfect when we get that much coming down at once,” he said. Mac Watson, who owns Double Diamond
Handyman Services, a renovation, landscaping and snow removal business in Keremeos, was still busy trying to catch up with the snow in parking lots Thursday. He worked late Tuesday night, was up again working at 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday and wasn’t sure how late he’d have to work Thursday as he still had quite a few lots to finish. “I’ll tell you we got more snow this storm than we did all last winter,” he said while taking a short break from plowing. In addition to downed power lines that did not get restored for some customers in areas outside the village until Thursday, cell service was interrupted for many customers Wednesday, Thursday and for some unlucky ones into Friday. The weather and snow accumulation made it difficult for technicians to get to the location of the area’s cell tower. Tyson Schmauder from Keremeos Taxi was busy shuttling people to and from appointments and running errands throughout the week but was finding it a bit difficult to find cell service. On Thursday he’d found a small sliver of service near the orchard behind the gas station headed out of town. “I have to tell people when they get me that when I leave to pick them up I won’t be able to call them or get calls if anything goes wrong,” he said with a smile. “Everyone’s been great - really understandable.”
Council divides duties at inaugural meeting Review Staff
It was a low key event as the newly elected village council held the inaugural meeting Monday night. A group of about 10 people gathered to watch as new council members took the oath and held a brief meeting. “Congratulations to the new and incumbent council members on their election. I am very much looking forward to working with you through this term,” Mayor Manfred Bauer said in his inaugural address. “There will be no time to rest. We have plenty of tasks and challenges ahead of us.” Bauer, along with councillors
Jason Wiebe, Jeremy Evans, Sherry Philpott-Adhikary and Arlene Arlow read aloud the oath of office in front of the CAO Laurie Taylor, village staff and about 10 audience members. Bauer then presided over the first council meeting of the new term. The agenda was brief and included council appointments and a report on the official results from the election. Mayor Bauer will act as the appointee on the Community Forest, Keremeos Irrigation District, Village of Keremeos – Water Advisory Committee, Liquid Waste continued page 7

Jail time for man caught exposing himself to boys Joe Fries Western News Staff
Three decades after he was first jailed for exposing himself to children, a former Keremeos resident is back behind bars for more of the same. Roy O’Donaghey, 60, was sentenced Monday in provincial court in Penticton to nine months in jail for exposing himself to two different boys in Keremeos in 2011. Once he’s released from custody, O’Donaghey will be subject to a three-year probation order, conditions of which include he not return to the community and have no contact with the victims, their families or other children. One of the victims testified at trial in 2013 that O’Donaghey deliberately pulled aside the leg of his shorts to let a dog lick O’Donaghey’s genitals in full view of the boy. The other victim testified that when he spotted a pellet gun while moving boxes in the back of O’Donaghey’s truck, O’Donaghey put his penis on the truck’s tailgate and told the boy to use his penis as a target. The mother of one of the boys, whose names are protected by a publication ban, said outside the courtroom Monday she’s satisfied with the sentence, which came a year after O’Donaghey was convicted. “It’s always frustrating. It’s hard not to be angry,” she said of the court delays. Sentencing was held up for 10 months by the creation of pre-sentencing reports, and then again in October when O’Donaghey failed to show for court. He later turned himself in to police in Chilliwack, and court heard he and his common-law wife now live in Lillooet. In calling for a jail sentence, Crown counsel Catherine Crockett noted O’Donaghey was convicted in 1981 of six counts of exposing himself to children, for which he received six months in jail, and was handed probation for the same offence in 1992. Defence counsel James Pennington argued his client’s advanced age and health problems, plus length of time between offences made him a candidate for a conditional sentence to be served at home. But Judge Greg Koturbash said he had “some reservations” about handing down a conditional sentence since O’Donaghey is an untreated sex offender who hasn’t taken responsibility for his crimes. The judge then ruled that a jail sentence is the “only way to express society’s condemnation of Mr. O’Donaghey’s conduct.” As O’Donaghey was led from the courtroom Monday, his common-law wife sat in the public gallery glaring at Koturbash, who then had her removed too. “It’s not the time or the place to have you stare me down on this one, ma’am,” the judge said as she was escorted out of the courtroom by a sheriff. Besides the jail sentence and probation, Koturbash also banned O’Donaghey from visiting parks, schools or other places children are usually present, and from obtaining paid or volunteer work with kids, for a period of 10 years. And for the rest of his life, O’Donaghey’s name will be included in the national sex offender registry.

Food bank serves more than one hundred people Review Staff
Losing a job. Suddenly becoming ill. A financial mistake. It’s that easy to go from being financially independent to reliant on help from a food bank to get through the month. “I don’t think people realize how easy it is to find yourself in need,” said Ingrid Percival from the Cawston/Keremeos food bank, in an interview with The Review. The food bank serves well over 100 people each month. “We have 10 families of four or more that come to us regularly for help. A lot of these are single parent families,” she said. “I don’t think people realize there are this many people that are struggling.” A large number of clients are elderly and on fixed incomes that don’t provide quite enough to live, eat and pay for medication each month. Eating loses out and that’s where the food bank comes in. The Cawston/Keremeos food bank is open just one day a week but makes a big impact. A group of about four dedicated volunteers helps collect food and doles it out from a trailer on the lot of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. More than $1,000 worth of food is collected each month to hand out to those in need. “It’s quite a lot to come up with every month,” she said. “We wouldn’t be able to

He has enjoyed his 29 years in Keremeos and wishes to thank the community and his patients for their trust and support during this time. His patients will be taken care of by the remaining three physicians on certain days of the week. Dr. Partridge asks that the community be patient and understanding when requesting medical appointments as accessibility may be reduced. Recruitment is underway for his replacement and Dr. Partridge will continue to provide limited support for the remaining three physicians for an indefinite period of time. His patient charts will remain at the clinic.

OPINION

The real fear
Some consequences of impaired driving are just easier to get your head around than others. Death, for example, is fairly black and white. Annually in British Columbia 86 people are killed in accidents involving impaired driving, and 29 of those deaths – on average – occur in the Southern Interior. Strangely, when people think or talk about impaired driving they hardly ever address the worst case scenario. When friends leave a bar, merrily jingling their keys, no one says: “Hey buddy maybe you shouldn’t drive, you might die horribly in a car crash.” If anyone has the courage (and few do) to address the elephant on the sidewalk they are liable to say something like: “Why don’t you take a cab. You don’t want to go through one of those roadside checks and get caught.” It’s not cool to talk about death. Getting nailed by the cops though – that’s a sexier conversation. And it’s the reason BC’s December CounterAttack program, which was launched for 2014 last week by the RCMP, is such a crucial part of impaired driving enforcement. By implementing roadside spot checks, police are literally trying to save people’s lives by scaring them to death. Because nobody wants to lose a driver’s license. In some cases it could mean losing a job as well, or a spouse and family, or the respect of a community. Impaired driving legislation across Canada can best be described as a dog’s breakfast. There are federal laws and provincial laws and it can seem like they are constantly being amended, proposed, passed or struck down. They are, in fact, hard for a layperson to understand – especially if he or she has been drinking. According to ICBC the holiday season is the second most likely time of the year to meet an impaired driver on BC roads, and it’s the only time you are going to meet the December CounterAttack program. A review of the law is timely.* The federal Criminal Code states it’s a criminal offence to operate a motor vehicle (whether in motion or not) while impaired, which includes driving with a blood alcohol content of more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in one hundred millilitres of blood (0.08 BAC) or impairment by a drug. If arrested, prosecuted and convicted under the code, consequences are determined by a judge. Provincially, BC roads are controlled by the Motor Vehicle Act. If an officer has reason to believe that a driver is under the influence of alcohol he or she can request a breath sample using an Approved Screening Device. So you had a beer and you smell like beer and you take the test. If you have a digital reading of between 0 and .049 your blood alcohol level is below the “Warn” range. You may be subject to a 12-hour driving prohibition if you are in the graduated licensing program. But let’s say you had two beers at the party. You take the test and your blood alcohol level is over .05mg/100ml. Your driver’s license is seized immediately, prohibiting you from driving for three days. Your vehicle is impounded for that time and you are responsible for towing and storage costs. You pay an automatic $200 administrative fee, and you have to apply to have your license re-instated. It’s worse if you have three or four beers, worse if you actually fail the test. If your blood alcohol level exceeds .08 or if you refuse to provide a breath sample, you are giving police a choice. An officer may issue you a 90 day Immediate Roadside Prohibition (which is exactly what it sounds like), your vehicle is impounded for 30 days and the administrative fee is set at $500. You may also be referred to the Responsible Driver Program or the Ignition Interlock Program. The police may choose, however, to charge you under the Criminal Code. If that’s the case you receive an immediate 24-hour driving suspension, you are detained at a police station for further testing and you are thereafter issued a 90-day Administrative Driving Prohibition. If you are found guilty in federal court (and almost everybody in those circumstances is) the consequences include a minimum $1,000 fine, a driving prohibition and possible jail time. Hitting a roadside spotcheck after a party is pretty scary isn’t it? Then again, so is dying horribly in a car crash. *All legal information accessed at the Ministry of Justice’s website. Provincial penalties noted are for first offenses within five years and penalties increase for multiple offences.

Upping membership priority for Similkameen Country Review Staff
The new president of Similkameen Country is hoping to bring new business to the chamber by attracting additional members during his term. Chris Mathieson, operator/manager of the Grist Mill was acclaimed as president of Similkameen Country last week at the organization’s general meeting. “I’m excited,” he said Monday. “A lot of good things are happen-
ing not just in town but across the Similkameen.” Mathieson said his personal goals include increasing membership over the next year and reaching out to newer small and home based businesses to help educate them about business practices. Colleen Christensen, manager for Similkameen Country said she was also excited with the new board. “I think it’s great. I think it’s a great board. There are new faces but they’re mixed with experi-
enced board members. We’ve got potentially new vision going forward but still have that knowledge and stability,” she said. The board is rounded out with vice chair Shannon Forner, secretary treasurer Teresa deWitt and five directors including Anna Bartlett, Joan Bauman, Tara Bowie, Janice Uebelhardt and Emmy Woroby. Joan McMurray will remain on the board in the capacity of past president for six months.
Cawston Honduras event helps build new school brick-by-brick Review Staff
Although their last few days in BC proved to be bitter cold temperature wise, Roger Clinton and wife Gerrie Harker will take the warmth of the giving spirit of Similkameen residents with them as they travel to Honduras. The couple who live near Keremeos held a fundraiser last Saturday at Harkers’ Rustic Roots Winery to help raise funds for a school build in Esperancita, Honduras. Despite challenging weather conditions more than 200 brick certificates were bought throughout the day raising in excess of $2,000. “The support of our local community was overwhelming,” Clinton wrote in a note to the Review he dropped off before
leaving for Honduras Monday. “The support for the project was exceptional considering many could not get out due to weather conditions and freezing pipes.” The largest purchase of brick certificates was Colleen Stranaghan and Bruce Fleenor who bought 50. Door prizes were donated by Harkers Rustic Roots Winery and My Town Realty. The first prize of a wine gift basket from Harkers was Gerry Nimchuk of Cawston; second prize winner of a large chocolate gift basket donated by My Town Realty was Yvonne Kosugi of Cawston and the third prize winner of a hand crafted walking stick made by Alfred Forner and donated by My Town Realty was won by Bruce Fleenor of Cawston.
“Many thanks to Bruce and Kathy Harker for all their support and for the use of an amazing venue,” Clinton wrote. “Thanks to My Town for their generous offer of the two door prizes. Special thanks to Sara Harker and appreciation for those who assisted with food and serving without being asked: Tyla Harker, Rose Weeks and Judy Egli.” Clinton and Harker will be in Honduras for about the next four months building a new 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

Creation of beauty at Hedley sale
Jenny Smith displaying her creations at the Hedley Craft Sale Saturday. Submitted by Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca
Jenny Smith of Keremeos was one of 14 vendors displaying their wares at the craft sale
in Hedley this past Saturday. Her table displayed a pleasing array of soft, colourful frogs, pigs, elephants, rabbits, snow mice and more. The
Art Martens
attractive creations suggest an innovative mind and deft hands. “I think of them as toys,” Jenny said. “For me this is an
enjoyable day out. I don’t do it for the money.” She was born in Holland. “That’s where my accent comes from,” she said. “I was about 24 when I came to Canada with two girlfriends. My family is still in Holland.” She made her home in Keremeos in 1999 because “it was a beautiful place to retire.” With her “toys” she is adding a touch of her own beauty. The sale was organized and hosted by the Hedley Seniors’ Centre. The Centre served scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast and soup and sandwich for lunch. Lynn Wells and Beryl Wallace cooked several pots of soup in their homes and donated them to the Centre. “We do it for the community,” Beryl Wallace said. “It’s a nice social time. A number of people came from Keremeos and Princeton. Everything is done by volunteers.” In spite of the mercury refusing to budge from deep in the freezing range, Beryl Wallace deemed the event a success. “People came anyway,” she said. “It gave them a place to go and an opportunity to meet friends. Vendors can market what they have created. We do it every year and people have a good time.”
CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE COLD By Alexis Costello What is this world coming to when you can’t trust frozen dinners anymore? Last year Nestle issued a recall of 879 565 pounds of Lean Cuisine chicken meals that may contain bits of hard blue plastic. I’ve been biting my tongue ever since, trying not to suggest that the plastic might be a better choice nutritionally… Plastic bits aside, chicken can be tricky. The meat is often full of antibiotics such as penicillin that can cause low-level allergic reactions in susceptible consumers while also contributing to the ‘super bug’ phenomenon; bacteria that have been so bombarded by antibiotics that they have developed immunity. These were the kind of facts that motivated many to become vegetarians. But what about good old chicken soup? Legend has it that chicken soup was first prescribed by a twelfth century doctor named Moses Maimonides as a cold and asthma remedy. This has persisted in folk medicine right up until now. Some say that it is the steam from the soup that makes you feel better and that any hot beverage would do the same. But now, we have the technology and believe it or not, laboratory tests have concluded that chicken soup actually can help fight a cold. A report by CNN published in October 2000 showed that grandma’s soup helps stop the movement of neutrophils. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that is necessary to fight off an infection, but neutrophil activity can cause the release of mucus and aggravate coughs and stuffy noses when the cells mass together in one place. When chicken soup was in the body, neutrophils showed fewer tendencies to congregate, reliving the congestion, but still maintained the same efficacy against the virus and bacteria. Irwin Zimmit, MD and pulmonary specialist at UCLA School of Medicine, says that certain substances produced by chicken as it cooks are very similar to certain modern medicines. For instance, one of the amino acids released has a chemical structure that closely resembles the drug acetylcysteine which is prescribed for bronchitis. And if you are not sick, but are surrounded by people sneezing and hacking, soup can still be helpful. Chicken soup enhances the function of cilia which are the little ‘hair’ projections that line the inside of the nose and throat and stop airborne pathogens from getting to far into the body. Of course, it’s not just the chicken that makes the difference; other ingredients can be helpful too. Most soup packs a hefty helping of garlic, a major anti-inflammatory and immune booster. Onions are blood cleansing and can reduce coughing as well and spices like black pepper and rosemary are great for opening up the bronchial system and reducing pain. And it appears that the benefits of this soup are not limited to humans. China Daily reported a few months back that two young panda bears in the Wuhan zoo were being fed pounds of chicken soup twice a month to reduce stress and improve overall well-being. As pandas are extremely endangered, they are much better taken care of than most of us are when we get sick, so there must be something to this after all!

DIABETIC INJECTIONS Two of the most common errors diabetics make in injecting insulin is not varying the injection site causing hardening or stiffness of the skin. Also pulling the needle out too quickly after depressing the plunger can result in a lower dose injected. How is your injection technique? WATER IMPORTANT Water is an important part of our diet. It helps transport nutrients, enzymes, hormones and blood cells throughout the body. It aids in the excretion of wastes and toxins from the body via our urine. It also helps lubricate our joints and mucus membranes and helps regulate body temperature by releasing and absorbing heat. Make sure you drink enough water every day. CAPSAICIN MAY REDUCE ULCERS Capsaicin is the ingredient in chili peppers that make it hot. Ironically, this chemical is actually good for your stomach. It has been found to reduce the risk of stomach ulcers. This is a long way from the bland diet that used to be prescribed for ulcer patients many years ago. CAPSAICIN-CONTAINING CREAMS Actually, capsaicin-containing creams are used to reduce the pain of the lesions caused by shingles. It does cause a burning sensation on the skin but at the same time it ties up the nerve endings so the pain signals don’t get through to the brain thus acting as a pain-reliever. Odd but true! There are many types of pain-relieving remedies in our pharmacy. Let our pharmacists advise you on the best one to suit your needs.

Propaganda clouding issue of climate change, Atamanenko science. They cloud the issue, literally, with propaganda masquerading as research. Many in the media, always in search of a controversy, help to fan the flames.” However, whether global climatic change is real or is a hoax is proving to be immaterial. If global climatic change is caused primarily by the combustion of fossil fuels and fossil fuels are finite resources, then at some point fossil fuel depletion will render further fossil fuel consumption uneconomic. In other words, and we see this every day at the gas pumps, the price of fossil fuels is going to rise as the cost of recovering what remains of this finite resource declines. At the same time that fossil fuel prices have risen, the cost of renewable energy has declined to the point where many types of renew-
Alex Atamanenko, MP BC Southern Interior
Robin M. Mills is a graduate of Cambridge University and has worked for more than a decade in the fossil fuel industry, in petroleum geology and economics for Shell and for the Dubai government. Mills published Capturing Carbon: The New Weapon in the War against Climate Change? Columbia University Press, New York. 2011. In it he states, “Vested interests, certain big businesses, right-wing ideologues, self-appointed ‘experts’ in the media, ignorant or self-interested politicians, and scientists willing to prostitute themselves to the highest bidder, continue to repeat egregious falsehoods, objections to the idea of anthropogenic global warming that have been repeatedly demolished by W ATM NO LE!

able energy cost less than fossil fuels. A report published in Science in 2001 compared the capital cost of building a coal-fired and a windpowered electric plant of equal output. Capital costs were equal. However, the operating cost for a wind-powered plant was substantially lower because no coal mining, no coal crushing, no coal cleaning, no coal transportation, and no air pollution control is required for a wind-power plant. Since 2001, the efficiency and economies of scale have significantly further lowered the cost of wind energy. Since 2001, what has happened to the price of fossil fuels? A paper published in Scientific American in November, 2009 described how solar, wind and hydro electricity could supply all
the world’s energy needs within 30 years at a lower cost and with more reliability than conventional energy sources. The transition to renewable energy has started. Investing in fossil fuels or fossil fuel technologies today is as wise as it was to invest in clipper ships in the early days of steamers or in typewriters in the early days of computers. The fossil fuel era is winding down. If we build those pipelines, what will they be used for ten years from now? The NDP rejects the claim of a fundamental contradiction between environmental health and economic growth. Developing green energy industries is an opportunity for a dynamic new era of job creation, building a competitive advantage for Canada in environmental technolo-

gies and practices, which in turn help foster innovations in manufacturing. Reshaping energy policy for the 21st century means moving away from fossil-fuel dependence toward a green energy future by investing in solar, wind, wave, and geothermal sources, working with provinces and territories to share clean energy; and ensuring energy conservation in transportation and building methods. We can make Canada an environmental leader on the world stage by honouring treaty obligations, incorporating strong environmental standards in trade agreements and ensuring Canadian companies operating here at home and abroad are held to standards and practices that reduce their footprint and leave local ecosystems in good health.

Election under budget No school board election meant a higher bill for the village for the recent election. The total cost for the election was approximately $10,430, of which $2,824 is recoverable from the RDOS. The village’s net cost was $7,606. “Normally our net costs would be lower but there was no election for school trustee this year so we were not able to recover a portion of the staffing costs and supplies from them,” a report prepared by Chief
Administrative Officer Laurie Taylor stated. The village had $10,000 allotted for this year’s budget. The remaining balance will be transferred to an election reserve to fund future elections. Each year council sets aside monies to a reserve fund to cover the costs associated with running elections. “This way the cost of the election is funded over four years,” the report stated.

Wine opens houses Light Up weekend Kim Lawton Similkameen Wineries Association
Seven local wineries will be open and serving up holiday cheer as part of the annual Keremeos Christmas Light Up celebration. Wine tastings, food pairings, decorated wine shops, local art, gift ideas and holiday joy and cheer await all during the fourth annual Similkameen Country Christmas Winery Open House Tour which runs Dec. 6 and 7 daily from 12 p.m. -4 p.m. In traditional holiday open house style, participants are encouraged to meander through the beautiful Similkameen and visit Eau Vivre, Forbidden Fruit, Orofino, Robin Ridge, Rustic Roots, Sage Bush and Seven Stones wineries. At the first stop, be sure to pick up a passport to guide you on the tour. Get the passport stamped when visiting each winery and at the end of the tour, enter it for a chance to win a Similkameen wine lovers package valued at over $200. If you are dreaming of a wine Christmas, join Forbidden Fruit Winery for a tasting, or enjoy wine by the glass while you browse the selection of holiday wines, gifts and unique art by owner Kim Brind’Amour. Pick a secret envelope from their wine tree and receive a gift or discount on your wine purchases. Then head over to Seven Stones Winery, which is just a stones throw away, and enjoy appetizers with your wine tastings while you shop the delightful selection of library wines, purses, scarves, wine gift boxes and magnums. If you want to add a sparkle to someone’s holiday, check out their jewellery, which will be on special with 10% off all weekend long.

Emmy Woroby is famous for her 11 different flavors of shortbread.

By her smiling face, and cheery disposition her customers would never know that Emmy Woroby is a tortured soul. All day long the owner of Emmy’s Bake Shop Inside the Crowsnest Bakery toils away at making her perfectly delicious flavoured shortbread cookies and serving customers her scrumptious homemade lunches. But the Manitoba native has a secret that’s hard to digest. “I’m lactose intolerant,” she said. “I can only taste test as I go along. I can’t eat the cookies or I’m in real pain.” She could make the cookies with margarine so she could eat them but she refuses to sacrifice the flavour for her customers. From knee-high, Woroby was drawn to the kitchen to bake with her Granny and Mom.

They baked everything but their specialty was fresh pies. “When I was too young to bake they told me to go outside and get blueberries and they’d make me a pie,” she said. “I only ever got chased by a bear once.” Although she learnt to bake almost everything, her family was never particularly focussed on shortbread. “I don’t follow some family recipe that I learned from my Grandma. I kind of took a few recipes and put them together and worked on them till I got them where I wanted them,” she said. About four years ago she decided to try her hand at making shortbread to sell at a local craft sale. She made the cookies at home with her mix-
master, she said with a laugh. She did well the first year but the second year she did so well she had to take additional orders. “It was great. People really loved it.” Over the years she has developed 11 different kinds of shortbread cookies including lemon, lemon poppyseed, cafe mocha, lavender, Skor, toffee sea salt, chocolate sea salt, peanut buttercup, chocolate mint, chocolate truffle and cranberry. She does not make unflavoured shortbread. “Anyone can do that,” she said. “I like to make something different for my customers. Something they can’t make themselves or get just anywhere.” Although shortbread cookies are considered by many as a
Christmastime treat Woroby said that is incorrect. “Shortbread is Christmas but really there is no bad time to have shortbread.” Emmy’s Bake Shop is currently taking orders for the Christmas season. She is also preparing for a big craft sale in Kelowna on Dec. 13 and 14. The cookies will come in a roll for $10 and be gift wrapped. “It makes a really great Christmas gift. It’s so easy too.” Emmy’s Bake Shop is celebrating its oneyear anniversary over Light Up weekend. As customer appreciation she is offering free shortbread with every cup of coffee during the month of December.
