Wood enters federal political ring Tara Bowie Review Staff

Former RDOS director Angelique Wood has rebounded politically, earning the NDP nomination for the newly formed Central OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola riding.

Wood’s nomination was uncontested at the riding’s NDP nomination meeting in Summerland Saturday.

“I think I have the work ethic and the drive to really make a difference to our area and our country and I want the chance to do that,” Wood said a day before the meeting.

The relatively new riding was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and includes south of Keremeos to the US border, as far north as Kelowna, Thompson-Nicola, Logan Lake and west to Princeton and surrounding areas.

The new riding represents a portion of three-term NDP Southern Submitted photo Interior MP Alex Atamanenko’s Angelique Wood, NDP candidate for Okanagan Similkameenjurisdiction.

riding will be represented by Dick Cannings for the NDP party.

Wood, at first reluctant to step up to the reins when Atamanenko first approached her in 2014 said she is now more than ready for the task.

“I kind of came to the realization that there isn’t a lot of times in your life that you have someone that says ‘I will help you. I will stand behind you. I think you got what it takes to do what I do,” she said.

Wood, a one-term Regional District Okanagan Similkameen director for area G lost her seat during the November 2014 election by a slim margin to current director Elef Christensen.

The Hedley resident said her time with the RDOS helped prepare her for what she hopes is her new role in politics.

“I sat on two southern interior local government organizations. I’ve driven all those places and met a lot of people throughout the riding,” she said.

The Emily Carr Institute graduate spent more than a decade working in

sales and marketing at several art galleries and museums before moving to Hedley from Vancouver in 2006.

Since living in the Similkameen, Wood has volunteered in a number of capacities including on the Hedley fire department and with local museums.

She has also helped organize a variety of community conversation talks relating to relevant issues to all residents of the area.

“I come with a lot of real life experience, not just limited. I live in a rural place but I have a lot of urban savvy,” she said.

Atamanenko was thrilled with the nomination.

“I’m really happy that she’s taking up the challenge,” he said.

“Angelique has proven to be a real hard worker for her community.”

The NDP is the last of the big three to make their nomination official. The conservative’s nominated current MP Dan Albas last June, while the Liberals nominated Karley Scott in December.

Women at higher risk for Alzheimers Submitted

Nearly three-quarters of Canadians living with Alzheimer’s disease are women.

It’s an eye-opening statistic, but it’s not news to the many Keremeos families whose lives have been altered by the dementia journey.

“Women represent 72 per cent of Canadians living with Alzheimer’s disease,” said Laurie Myres, the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s Support & Education Coordinator for the South Okanagan and Similkameen.

“They could be your mothers, wives, sisters, grandmothers or friends.”

That’s why the Society’s annual Alzheimer Awareness Month campaign in January has adopted the theme, The 72%. It aims to inform women in their 40s and older about the warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, brain health and how

the programs and services of the nonprofit Alzheimer Society of B.C. can help. More women than men are living with Alzheimer’s disease because they live longer and age is a significant risk factor, Myres said. The risk of dementia doubles every five years after age 65.

Women also account for 70% of family caregivers.

“The disease takes a tremendous toll on these women who eventually provide roundthe-clock care. The burden is especially high

for women raising families and holding down jobs.”

Though women are disproportionately affected, “Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias affect everyone,” Myres said.

More than 70,000 people in B.C. face dementia.

The 72% Awareness Month campaign kicks off in January but local families living with dementia can receive assistance year-round from Myres. She can be contacted at 250-493-8182 (toll-free 1-888-318-1122) or lmyres@alzheim-

Ten warning signs for Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias, provided by the Alzheimer Society of B.C. 1. Memory loss that affects day-to-day abilities Forgetting things often or struggling to retain new information.

2. Difficulty performing familiar tasks Forgetting how to do something you’ve been doing your whole life, such as preparing a meal or getting dressed.

3. Problems with language Forgetting words or substituting words that don’t fit the context.

4. Disorientation in time and space Not knowing what day of the week it is or getting lost in a familiar place.

“There’s no good way to deal with ice jam flooding” Tara Bowie Review Staff

Questions surrounding the issue of dike maintenance are starting to flow again at the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen (RDOS).

Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer requested RDOS staff to gather information about dike assessments and remediation at the RDOS meeting last week.

“For dikes in the RDOS it really does affect the whole valley,” he said. “It’s a complicated issue, one that involves policy, sometimes provincial emergency response in the case of flooding.

We need to know when do they kick in preventatively,” he said.

Keremeos was forced to take on the role as a diking authority at least a decade ago from the province. Under legislation, each year the municipality is required to complete an inspection on the approximate two-kilometre dike that runs through the community.

In 2013 the village took an extra step, contracting engineers to complete a Dike Condition Assessment. Although two culverts needed to be cleaned out no major erosion issues were identified.

“Within the village we have no issues. Our main concern is

upriver. If they aren’t taking care of theirs what does that mean for us?” Bauer said.

At least once in the last year ice has flowed down from the Tulameen, and Princeton area and created a semi-jam or full jam between the red and white bridge in Keremeos.

No flooding did occur but the threat is always there and dependant on weather.

If ice becomes jammed and extreme cold temperatures persist a complete blockage could occur causing the water to be forced up and over the dike.

Although it was about a decade ago that the province created policy’s encouraging local government to assume authority over dikes in their areas, some have not, said Shaun Reimer, section head for public safety and protection for the Ministry of Forest and Natural Resources.

Currently there are 14 known dikes on the Similkameen, eight of those are considered orphaned.

The ministry now considers itself a regulatory agency and not responsible for the majority of the province’s dikes.

“Some of the dikes on the Similkameen were built by the province back in the 1970s in different areas,” he said. “No author-

ity has stepped up to take ownership of some of the dikes.”

Dike inspection and maintenance can cost municipalities large sums of money and there is no specific help provided by the province.

Reimer agreed that if a dike breached for any reason the water could find its way back downstream under the right circumstances and cause problems for the next community as well.

But he said in the case of ice jams a dike would most likely not help with preventing the water to go up and over.

“There’s no good way to deal with ice jam flooding,” he said.

Municipalities that experience flooding can contact Emergency Management British Columbia (EMBC), which is under the Ministry of Justice.

“There is a BC flood response plan, when the size of a flood... outstrips the ability of the local government to deal with it. So the province might be called in,” he said.

Reimer said in a lot of circumstances when EMBC has to come in and build a dike to prevent flooding they tear it down once the threat is over to stop it from becoming an orphaned dike in the future.

Hunters urged to attend meeting on changing rules Tara Bowie Review Staff

For 20 seasons, Ken Sward has waited for his name to be pulled so he can go bighorn sheep hunting.

Now he fears he might never get the chance because of new provincial hunting regulations that he charges unfairly take away opportunities for resident hunters.

“I’m 60 years old now. I’ve been waiting for 20 years. Even if I did get pulled in the next lottery I might not be up to it physically,” he said.

Sward, president of BC Wildlife Federation for the Okanagan Similkameen region, said the federation strongly opposes new regulations that would give guide-outfitters and their clients a larger share of big game permits.

The changes became public in mid-December and will increase

guide permits to hunt moose, grizzly bear and other restricted animals in limited-entry hunting areas in B.C. Sward said his “beef” wasn’t with legitimate guide outfitters trying to make their businesses viable but rather the provincial government for choosing out-ofprovince hunters over resident hunters.

Under the latest policy, the guide outfitters’ share is 20 per cent for elk, 20 or 25 per cent for moose depending on the restricted region, 35 per cent for mountain goats, and 40 per cent for grizzly bears.

“When you continue to erode resident opportunity I do have a problem with it,” he said.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson said in an interview with Black Press in December that he made the decision on the latest allocation after a long con-

sultation where the BCWF and the Guide Outfitters Association of B.C. couldn’t agree. The decision was to provide certainty for guide businesses, but also took away guides’ rights to pool regional game allotments and hunt in vacant guiding territories.

“There are arguments over the number, depending on which base you use, and I expect those arguments will continue,” Thomson said. “At the end of the day we all want the same thing, which is healthy wildlife populations.”

BCWF meetings have been held all over the province to gather resident hunter input on the changes.

A meeting is scheduled for Oliver on Sunday, January 25 at 5 p.m. at the Legion Hall.

OPINION

A4 www.keremeosreview.com

Thursday, January 22, 2015 The Review

Gas pains aren’t really so bad Hockey might be Canada’s favorite national pastime but if there is a runner up it is complaining about the price of gas.

Canadians love to fume.

Gas prices everywhere have dipped recently, and that relieves a bit of rancor, but the impression persists that especially in small towns gas is still more expensive than in other centres.

And maybe some days it is.

However on Monday gas in Keremeos, according to bcgasprices.com, was 99.9. In Penticton on the same day the cheapest gas was just two pennies a litre less, 97.9. Most stations in that city – often a destination for Keremeos commuters – were also selling for 98.9 and there was one station with the price of 99.9.

Gas in Princeton was 98.9 and gas in Kelowna ranged between 97.9 to 99.9.

The cheapest gas in British Columbia Monday could be found in Prince George where customers at Costco could fuel up for 82.9. Gas was also significantly cheaper at some stations in Abbotsford and Chilliwack.

If you lived in Royston on Monday you were paying 119.9 per litre – the highest price in the province. Kersley, Fort Nelson, Eastgate, Gold River and Hudson’s Hope all had gas priced above $1.10.

Gas prices in BC are very literally all over the map.

In an interview with The Review Jason Parent, vice president of fuel industry consultant MJ Ervin Associates, said there is nothing nefarious or unusual behind BC gas pricing.

“This isn’t really unique to you guys. It’s just common to smaller communities and it happens all over the country. We have some communities where the prices sit a little higher than communities down the road.”

According to Parent there are many markets where retailers don’t feel the need to be competitive to the point of dropping prices that might trigger a price war. He noted communities with one especially pricecompetitive retailer, such as Costco, will always have cheaper gas.

As well, he said, in smaller markets where the volumes of gas sold per dealer are lower than in larger centres, gas is naturally priced higher in order for retailers to make a profit. He added that consumers generally do not leave their hometown to drive somewhere else just to buy gas.

Parent’s advice to people with gas pains – and this is paraphrasing– is to suck it up.

“Really as a consumer there is not a whole lot you can do about the price of gas. There’s supply and demand and about the only thing you could do is simply drive less but that’s not going to necessarily drop the price.”

If you can reach the owner/dealer of your gas station and wish to share your thoughts on competitive pricing go right ahead. But don’t harass the employee at the pump or the cash register. Those people work long hours and are remarkable cheerful and customer service-oriented given the amount of griping they put up with.

Finally, if you are still not happy with the price of gas in a small town, just spend a few minutes being thankful you don’t live in Royston. - AD

Keremeos Review Thursday, January 22 2015

Kids please don’t try hitchhiking at home One would have to be a Similkameen Valley transplant to fully appreciate the unique culture of British Columbia’s interior.

There are days I swear the family arrived here from southwestern Ontario not via the Trans Canada Highway, but in a tiny black and white farmhouse spinning through a tornado.

Hitchhiking is a perfect example of BC culture shock. It’s not done so much, back home.

I see hitchhikers everyday along Highway 3, dozens a day in the summer. There are coastal communities where hitchhiking is actually encouraged, through signage and social media, as a way of returning to a kinder, gentler way of life.

It is also sometimes a necessity. The nature of the province’s interior and north precludes public transport. Hitchhiking underpins the local economy, as it facilitates the movement of transient workers so vital to the area’s fruit and vegetable farms.

It still gives me goose bumps.

I was thinking, as it turned out, that the man was on crutches and his left leg was amputated just above the knee. I’m not saying he couldn’t have been dangerous. For all I knew he lost his leg in a chain saw attack gone horribly wrong. I did like my chances of getting away, however.

And, I felt bad for him.

To suggest it’s wrong to stop and help a stranger in need is in some ways a cynical and sad commentary on the human condition.

But there is something to be said for personal safety and self-preservation.

As we travel in a place where hitchhikers are, literally, part of the landscape it’s important to remind our children that it’s not a safe practice. Just because lots of people do it doesn’t make it okay.

Dorothy got lucky on the Yellow Brick Road, when she managed to pick up the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and Cowardly Lion.

Don’t forget she also ran into the Wicked Witch of the West, and a lot of flying monkeys.

Couple overcomes racism and grief to find joy Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca

Henry and Barb Allison live on Reserve land directly across from the iconic Standing Rock on Highway 3 near Keremeos. From the outset of our 2 hour conversation with them in their immaculate log home, my wife Linda and I were impressed with their warmth and congeniality.

My interest in them stems in part from their status as Elders in the Lower Similkameen Indian Band.

I was also curious about Standing Rock, a revered First Nations ceremonial site.

In response to my question about their home, Henry said, “I was a logger. I personally logged the trees for the house. I traded logs in exchange for the construction.”

I encouraged Henry to continue.

“We weren’t going to build on this site,” he said, “but Barb’s mom owned the land and she insisted we build here so we could protect Standing Rock.” They have been diligent in carrying out her wish, at times telling people not to deface the Rock with writing.

Henry was born in Princeton and lived in Hedley, attending school here to the end of Grade 6. “It wasn’t easy,” he said. “The other kids teased us a lot because we were Indians. For a time we had to sit on a bench along the wall. The white kids had desks.” He completed Grade 8 in Keremeos. In Grade 9 his teacher said, “We don’t know how you’re doing it, but you must be cheating. You couldn’t be getting such high marks.” Frustrated by the racially inspired accusations, he quit school.

It was at the Keremeos School

THE

that he met Barb. They come from very different families. Barb’s parents were ranchers, living in Chopaka. “Dad was sent to a residential school,” she told us. “When the authorities came for us, he wouldn’t let them take us away.”

She and her siblings rode horses across the Similkameen River to their school in Cawston. Like Henry, she and other Indian children had to initially sit on a bench against the wall.

Especially at that age, being Aboriginal was difficult. “One day some white boys told us they would wait for us at the railroad tracks,” she said. “They were going to beat us up. We waited at the school, hoping they would leave. Finally we went to meet them. When we put up our fists to defend ourselves, they ran away.”

Henry’s mom had been taken to a residential school at age 10 and wasn’t returned home until she was 18. “She didn’t see her mother all those years,” he said. “She never learned to be a mother and as an adult alcohol got a hold of her.

Once, when I was 8, us kids were left with cousins in a cabin in the bush near Hope. We fished and picked berries to feed ourselves. We didn’t know if our parents would ever return. I felt abandoned.”

“I didn’t understand her life until I attended a workshop about residential school experience,” he said.

“Then I was finally able to forgive her.”

Henry grew up to be physically robust, with a desire to leave his past behind. Working in the bush, he became a skilled logger, eventually owning two mills and his own logging show. He and Barb began

dating and he gave her an engagement ring as a graduation gift.

“That really upset my mom,” Barb recalls. “She was completely against our engagement. She wanted me to go to university and become a lawyer.”

Barb and Henry met with her parents to talk. Finally her dad said,“ we better let them get married or they’ll run away.”

Henry was non-status at the time so when they got married, Barb lost her status. Later she and a group of women travelled to Ottawa to plead for status and it was granted. “I had some trouble persuading them I was Indian,” she said. Possibly the bureaucrats in Ottawa didn’t understand that an Indian could be so intelligent and articulate.

After gaining some life experience, Barb was nominated for the position of band chief in 1994. She won in spite of intense opposition.

Believing band accounting might be flawed, she submitted the books for a forensic audit in Kamloops.

Irregularities came to light and some individuals lost their jobs and band funding. This was not an easy decision but she possessed the integrity and inner strength to do it.

We sensed the depth of their despair when they talked about the loss of one of their three children.

“Our son was 18,” Henry said, “He was my right hand man in our logging operation. One day when he was on the job the new pickup he was driving stalled on a hill and went over a steep bank. I was away with the logging truck at the time.

When Barb arrived, she climbed down the bank and lay down beside him until he died.” Now years later, both Barb and Henry still carry the

The Keremeos Scouts hit the hills at Apex Mountain for a fun afternoon tobogganing thanks to the support of the Ladies of the Royal Purple. New scouts, beavers and cubs are always welcome.

Scouts grow in more ways than one Review Staff

They’re always scouting for new members.

The Keremeos Scouts organization was revitalized about two months ago after a more than two-year hiatus.

Between the scouts, beavers and cub categories there are about 15 regular participants.

“I am definitely impressed with the response. I wasn’t expecting to have half this many off the get go,” leader Rick Rutherford said.

Currently there is just one scout, Hailey Heinrich who is using the opportunity to take more of a leader role.

“She’s great. She’s getting more and more involved and helping the younger

ones,” he said.

The Cubs category which includes ages 8 to 10 has drawn the largest number of regular participants with nine. Beavers, ages 5 to 7, draw five regular attendees a week.

“Basically we’ve been working on knot tying, building birdhouses. We’re soon getting into starting outside survival stuff... building camp fires, how to survive in the trees, that kind of thing,” he said.

So far the groups have only done one outing. Just before Christmas scouts, leaders and some parents made their way to Apex Mountain to enjoy a day of tobogganing. The day was sponsored by the Ladies of the Royal Purple.

“Their support was great. We were able

to enjoy the day and put some away for other outings. The community has been wonderful and we appreciate it,” he said.

The scouts are eager to hold several camping outings this spring and summer in the area.

Rutherford said parents or scouts interested in joining can come check out a few meetings held Tuesdays at the Keremeos Legion. The cost to join is $175 for the year.

“There’s a meeting a week and different outings they can be a part of. It’s all strictly volunteer. No one is getting paid,” he said.

The scouts are planning a variety of fundraising events to help cover costs for new camping equipment.

Curbside collection goes digital Curbside collection has entered the technology-era.

A new web site launched for residents in the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen allows anyone to type in their home address to receive information on garbage and recycling services specific to their property.

Residents can also sign up for free e-mail or text reminders advising them when to place out refuse each week.

“I know there have been a few evenings I’ve wondered if it is recycling week or when the landfill closes,” stated RDOS Chair Mark Pendergraft in a press release. “Simplifying how people get information saves time and helps people place out the right stuff.”

Each municipality and rural area within the RDOS have slightly differ-

ent garbage and recycling programs including separate collection days and modified services.

In 2014, the RDOS became a part of ReCollect, a web based service.

The application provides links on what can be recycled and the location of nearby recycling depots.

To access ReCollect visit www. rdos.bc.ca and click on Curbside Calendar, on the right hand side.

The application is also available through the City of Penticton, Town of Oliver and Town of Osoyoos websites.

The RDOS and member municipalities will continue to provide paper calendars to their residents each year.

Residents can always contact their local government if they have any questions about curbside or landfill services.

Every tip has potential to make village safer Tara Bowie Review Staff

Only about two dozen tips are received about the Keremeos area at the local CrimeStoppers but every tip has the possibility to have an impact on the safety of residents, RCMP Cpl. Michael Gallagher said.

“When you’re talking about property crime there are no geographical boundaries,” he said. “A lot of times it’s the same people breaking into homes and cars in Penticton or Princeton as it is here in Keremeos, so getting any criminal off the street is good.”

Last year the Okanagan Similkameen CrimeStoppers program, which coverage area includes Princeton, Keremeos, Penticton and everywhere in between, received 700 tips via telephone, Internet or text message, that resulted in 35 arrests, 37 cases cleared and 35 charges laid.

Police recovered $13,600 in stolen property and $719,590 worth of illegal drugs were taken off the streets.

Twenty of those tips provided information about crime in the Keremeos area.

“You might think 20 isn’t a lot out of 700 but 20 tips means some-

thing to the people in Keremeos that want their community to be safe from crime” he said.

Al Sismey regional co-ordinator for the program couldn’t provide detailed information about the tips or if any arrests were made as a result of them.

“The protection of our tipsters is first and foremost,” he said during an interview about CrimeStoppers month last week.

About $2,000 in reward money was doled out to tipsters last year and about $50,000 has been rewarded since the program’s inception 23 years ago.

About 75 % of tipsters turn down rewards.

“That’s kind of interesting that most don’t want rewards they are doing it because they feel it’s their community responsibility. It’s their civic responsibility,” he said.

Over the five years a growing trend has emerged with tip-

sters choosing to provide information through technological means including text messages or through the Okanagan Similkameen CrimeStoppers website.

“It took awhile for it to catch on.

It’s like everything else when it’s new it takes people awhile to learn and become comfortable with and trust it,” he said. “I would say now that it’s a 50/50 split between the internet and phone calls.”

Specially designed software makes it impossible for tips to be tracked back to the sender making anonymity possible.

CrimeStoppers is a community based program funded through local municipalities and has a board of directors.

CAPRICORN: Spend the week in as much quiet contemplation as you can manage, Capricorn. You have a few big questions to work out and can only think when you have private time.

AQUARIUS: Aquarius, dissatisfaction at work has you wondering if things would be different elsewhere. Sometimes a change of attitude can give you an entirely new perspective.

PISCES: Pisces, a loved one comes to you seeking guidance this week, but don’t be bummed if they ultimately do not heed your advice.

ARIES: Take a leadership role on a work assignment, Aries. If your interest in work has been waning of late, a more active role may help you change your perspective.

TAURUS: Taurus, there is nothing you cannot accomplish this week. The sky is the limit in terms of your potential. All you need to do is focus your energy on a particular task.

GEMINI: Let something that’s been bugging you cool off for the time being, Gemini. There’s plenty of time to revisit the situation later, and you will be glad you took some time away.

CANCER: You’re willing to give a loved one the benefit of the doubt when that person makes a proposal that seems to come out of nowhere. Your patience will be appreciated.

LEO: Expect to be surprised by good news, Leo. Share your good fortune with others this week, and you will realize the good news will prove even more enjoyable.

VIRGO: You may benefit from a change of scenery, Virgo. If you have the time, book a getaway to an exotic locale and make the most of this time to rest, relax and recharge.

LIBRA: Libra, rest assured that a broken heart or bruised ego will not last too long. There are big changes ahead in your personal or professional life, so keep your eyes open.

SCORPIO: Taking charge comes naturally to you, Scorpio. In fact, you thrive in this role. But this week you may have to play second fiddle for the good of the team.

SAGITTARIUS: You seem to be operating on auto-pilot this week, Sagittarius.

Your routine has become so ingrained that things are automatic. Make a few minor changes to liven things up.

Healthy talks over coffee at Emmy’s bake shop Submitted photo

A team from Similkameen Pharmacy holds monthly health information sessions at Emmy’s Bake Shop. Left to right, Emmy Woroby, Peggy Boucher, Bernadine Allison, and Connie Chan, pharmacist/presenter.

Review Staff Since September a group has

Once a month over coffee they talk health.

met usually the first Saturday of the month to listen to a presen-

tation on a different health topic delivered by Connie Chan and a team from the Similkameen Pharmacy.

“I moved here two years ago and I’ve been trying to find a volunteering opporutnity that works with my work schedule,” Chan said. “This is my way to give back.”

During the hour-long meetings participants enjoy a coffee and talk topics including how to measure blood pressure, what’s in cough and cold prod-

ucts, how to properly dispose of medication and others.

“We talk about things that are important but that maybe we don’t get to talk about when people are picking up their medicine,” she said. “Where to keep your medication and how to get rid of it are important things.”

The January meeting’s topic dealt with information found in the Canadian Food Guide.

“It was really just how to use the food guide to make healthy choices. As well we talked about

what if they were on specific medication for gout or diabetes and how that would change,” she said.

A person’s personal medication history isn’t talked about in the group, but rather health is talked about in general terms.

“I don’t want to talk about that person’s medication in front of everyone else,” she said.

The next topic for February is on cardiovascular conditions, as February is heart month.

Property standards complaints top the list Tara Bowie Review Staff

Almost twice as many bylaw complaints were filed and investigated last year in Keremeos.

Property maintenance calls topped the list with 99 calls in 2014 almost triple the number received in 2013.

Of the 99 property maintenance complaints, four properties each had two complaints. Nine of the properties that received complaints over the last 12 months

also received complaints in 2013.

Laurie Taylor, Keremeos CAO said all complaints logged must be investigated but that many don’t lead to infractions.

“We do investigate each one.

It’s been a busy year,” she said.

Mayor Manfred Bauer pointed to the price tag of $20, 517 to run bylaw enforcement and hoped people would realize the financial impact.

“It is expensive. It costs more

than $20,000 just for looking into people’s complaints about some weeds and other possible infractions that might or might not be true. That is a costly activity,” he said.

Other complaints filed in 2014 include seven noise complaints and 15 dog complaints.

Three zoning complaints were logged relating to a shipping container being used as a shed and two RV trailers being used as

residences.

There were six traffic violations and six complaints filed under other.

Three dogs were impounded in 2014.

Of the total complaints received in 2014, 14 were received in the first quarter, 34 in the second quarter, 50 in the third quarter and 41 in the fourth quarter.

As we move into 2015, my to-do list already seems to be getting longer and longer. There are many projects in every corner of the constituency. Some new, some ongoing, however all are equally important.

We will see work commence on the Lakehill Walkway in Kaleden along with involvement from the school to look at ways to make it safer for the children to cross Lakehill and walk along the side of the roads to school.

I am confident that the Hedley Cemetery will finally come under the umbrella of the Cemetery Society, this important piece of hisW ATM NO LE! B A L I A V A

tory will be cleaned up and restored to the people of Hedley.

The Town of Midway is working with volunteers in Rock Creek continuing the work on improving fire protection for all the people in the rural area.

This is a great example of communities coming together and sharing resources to benefit residents in the area. I would like to thank the Mayor of Midway and the Fire Chief for their ongoing support for this project.

There are also issues that affect the entire constituency. The 2-tiered system of electrical billing by Fortis continues to raise questions to the actual benefits of this system, versus the negative impacts on those who are captive to only electricity for all their needs.

My office has been an active participant in meetings with the BC Utilities Comission and Fortis for the past year, and we continue to raise this on behalf of all constituents. This remains a top priority for us for 2015, and all these issues are just a sample of the many projects my office is involved in.

versus guide outfitters has prompted many emails expressing dismay of this change. This is of course not just a local issue, but concerns hunters across the province.

I am a supporter of the B.C. Wildlife Federation and admire the efforts of volunteers who spend their time and energy working on programs to educate the public, in particular for youth. Our office will continue to forward all your concerns to the Minister and I will advocate on behalf of my constituents.

The threat of destructive invasive mussels getting into our waterways is being acted upon locally, provincially and hopefully at the federal level.

Our MP’s are pushing their colleagues in Ottawa and the provincial government will also be announcing some programs this spring. This issue requires a coordinated national response.

I also expect a resolution to the issue of how best to preserve and protect the sensitive environment of the South Okanagan.

The Minister and staff are consulting with all the stakeholders and will be bringing possible solutions

to the discussion table later this spring. I appreciate the spirit of cooperation that was demonstrated at the last round of meetings and I am confident that there will be ideas coming forward that can be supported by all.

And of course there is the snow!

When it happens all at once we are taken by surprise, but it is wonderful when neighbours step up to help each other. Many thanks to all who helped someone else during this snow event. We are fortunate here in rural BC to live amongst so many caring and generous neighbours.

Heavy snowfalls are especially difficult for people with mobility issues and can keep them from getting out of their homes for basic needs like milk and bread. It could be several days before sidewalks and side streets are cleared enough for those using scooters or other mobility equipment to be able to go out. Please check on those who may have extra problems as a result of the snow. There are still a few weeks of winter left, and we could certainly have more snow until spring.

Thanks to Mike Stiles and his great article a local newspaper

about the challenges of day to day living when you use a wheelchair to get around in the community. I welcome his input and advice on how we can all do a better job in making our communities more user friendly for all who have accessibility challenges.

The Legislature will resume sitting on February 10, which means I will soon begin my weekly commute once again. I find it is often a benefit to be in Victoria with access to all the Ministers and staff every day in pursuing specific issues for the Boundary-Similkameen. And I know my staff in the Oliver office will continue to work hard on your behalf while I am out of town.

Our government’s focus this year will continue to work on growing the economy, supporting businesses who create opportunities and new jobs for British Columbians, helping find the right fit for those who are under-employed and controlling the debt. Government does not fund social programs, you, the taxpayers do. The healthier our economy, more funding will be available to those who need assistance.

I am looking forward to a busy and productive year.

ADRENAL FATIGUE - THE 21ST CENTURY DISEASE

By Caroline Sutherland

PART II

Now let’s look at the metaphysical and emotional sides of adrenal fatigue – overwork. This may seem like a generalization, but I find that many women are prone to over-work and over-achieving. The desire to prove can override precious physical reserves. Men, if they do have this trait, do not appear to suffer as much for it. When we know we are enough there is no need to prove it. It is time to address what is driving you. Think of spending time in nature – the consummate healer.

When it comes to adrenal support, I recommend herbs such as licorice, ashwaganda and rehmannia taken in a tincture form. This is also a good time to review your multiple vitamins, extra B vitamins and fish oil. Calcium as well, can be very calming.

Now let’s look at the metaphysical and emotional sides of adrenal fatigue – overwork. This may seem like a generalization, but I find that many women are prone to over-work and over-achieving.

It is time to address what is driving you. Think of spending time in nature – the consummate healer.

For many of us, life as we know it today places us in a state of over-load. Interferences subtle and real seem to call for our continual response. This is a time to seek balance and prioritize. Review what matters; the sacredness of life, our health, our family and that precious commodity – inner peace. Adrenal fatigue is a sign that life is out of balance. I like a book called Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st Century Syndrome by James Wilson N.D. which is packed with useful coping strategies.

PEANUTS HEALTHY SNACK Peanuts are a healthy snack. They are nutritionally sound, containing vitamin B and E, minerals, protein, fibre and the amino acid, arginine, which is touted to be beneficial to blood pressure. Peanuts are legumes, a member of the pea family not the nut family. One to two ounces per day is a good dose of peanuts.

EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS Seniors go to hospital emergency departments for various reasons.

Often it is due to a drug adverse reaction. Two classes of drugs that cause almost two-thirds of these visits are anticoagulants (“blood thinners”) and diabetic medications including insulin.

The reason is that constant testing needs to be done to ensure proper dosing. Our pharmacists can help you understand the importance of testing.

EARLY TO RISE...MYTH? There is no health advantage to being an early riser. The important thing is to get enough sleep. If you don’t get enough sleep, your reaction times mentally and physically can be impaired and your immune system can be compromised. Eight hours of sleep per day is ideal.

NON-MEDICINE REMEDIES There are many non-drug methods of reducing blood pressure and symptoms of depression. One method that is definitely helpful is the idea of forgiveness. Many people hold grudges for a long time and this has effect on their mental and physical states of health. Forgiving those that hurt you could give you a feeling of great well-being and free you from anxiety and hostility.

Forgiveness is good medicine.

You will enjoy our pharmacy. We do our best to provide you with hassle-free service. Give us a try!

Building permits on the rise At least one department at the village is building a surplus.

More than double the amount of building permits were issued in 2014 over the previous year meaning additional revenues for the municipality.

“This is a good news report,” Laurie Taylor, Keremeos CAO said.

In 2014, nine new homes were built in the village adding a total value of $2,051,400. Six homes were built in 2013 adding $1,369,700 in value.

Twenty-six repair or renovation permits were

issued in 2014 over the previous years eight.

“The building inspector works two half days a week. We may need to increase hours. That’s a positive thing,” she said.

Revenues brought in through permits totalled $28,724.78 in 2014.

Costs to run the department were slightly over budget at $25,292.25.

A surplus of $3,432.53 for the department was applied to the village’s general operating fund.

RDOS powered up over Fortis increase Tara Bowie Review Staff

Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer hopes the power of the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen (RDOS) can have an effect on rising electricity rates.

Bauer requested the RDOS board write a letter opposing FortisBCs two-tier system and recent rate increase.

A 3.5 per cent interim increase went into effect January 1. A final rate increase will be determined following FortisBCs annual review.

“We just had an increase. I hear from people all the time that they are struggling to pay their bills,” he said.

Bauer called the power company’s two-tier sys-

tem unfair to its rural customers as natural gas isn’t available to many.

Currently customers are billed 9.093 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) for the first 1,600 kWh are billed and 13.543 cents for each additional kWh. “In the rural areas where they don’t have the availability with heating with gas it’s really tough when you’re relying on electric heat especially in the rural areas, trailer parks. These people don’t have the money to make the investments to make their habitat more energy efficient,” he said. “It hits the people the hardest that don’t have the money.”

The RDOS board voted unanimously in favour of writing a letter to FortisBC.

Limerick contest deadline looming Dave Cursons Submitted

A reporter friend questioned our January 27th Canada Literacy Day Limerick Contest happening here in The Lower Similkameen.

“Aren’t they difficult to do?” he remarked.

Here’s my answer The rhyming may not pass the test And the verse may be clumsy at best But the limerick’s charm Is it does no one harm Save an affable slap on the back You made fun of my bright purple kitty Which I brought with me here from the city She’s not purple by chance Kitty’s coiffure enhanced

So back off you impolite twitty Limericks are a queer sort of verse Not noble or kind like a nurse They are sometimes quite haughty And are often quite naughty But ever so clever and terse.

There was an old man from Chopaka Who ran out of chewing tobacca So he lit up some mullen To stop feeling so sullen And found he’d been better for lack o’.

There was a young woman from Fairview Who managed a highway flag crew When it came coffee

Irwin claims top spot as bowler of the week After an impressive week at the alley Pam Irwin was named bowler of the week.

On Monday evening in Alley Oops action Irwin bowled a 200, 244 – 625.

Also striking a big game during the Alley Oops league was Madeleine Pruden who bowled a 201.

For men top scorers were Bruce Crossman, 253, Jack Popovich, 227, Harold Desjardins, 213, Paul Meikle, 221, and Norm Boucher 208, 200.

In Wednesday mornings Goldanagers Carol Cole bowled 244, Madeleine Pruden, 193, 195, and Pam Irwin, 190.

Clyde Morris bowled a 233 – 574 in the Thursday morning Swingers league.

time She was said to define It as fifteen, not twenty nor two.

A young lawyer hailing from Hedley Who’s aim with a lawsuit was deadly Found that when he grew old He’d racked up so much gold His circle of friends grew incred’bly The rhyming is not hard to crack Pen wise words or else pen the lack Know a limerick’s charm Is it does no real harm Just another slap on the back

Limerick lovers are said to lack class The verse is unworthy and crass So what’s wrong with a laugh That’s more worthy by half Than a casual kick in the … backside.

So, get writing! Win prizes.

Email your limericks to keremeo@orl. bc. ca Subject line : LIMERICKS or drop them off at either the Keremeos or Hedley Public Library. Winning limericks get one of six twenty dollar gift certificates to Hooked on Books or The Dragons’ Den in Penticton.
