Elks rodeo rides again in Keremeos Tara Bowie Review Staff
Because of the speedy action of the rodeo committee and some dedicated barrel racers the Elks rodeo wasn’t a washout and drew record crowds over the Victoria Day long weekend. Although the area desperately needed it, rainfall overnight Saturday and into Sunday morning almost flooded the rodeo grounds. “Early this morning we thought it was going to be a total washout,” Reggie Reichert, longtime Elks member and rodeo volunteer said Sunday. Rodeo committee members along with barrel racers dug trenches through the rodeo grounds to try to channel the water away. Once the rain stopped a decision was made to bring in sand to try to sop up some of the excess water so the grounds were safe for the equine athletes. “What was going to turn out to be a real disaster was avoided because of the quick action of the rodeo committee and because of the help of those barrel racers.” The rodeo was delayed about an hour but spectators were “very supportive,” Reichert said. “We can’t thank them enough. They stuck it out and supported us and had a great time and that’s what this event is about, giving something to the community. That’s what it is about.” While about 600 plus people came into the rodeo each day a team of about 40 volunteers worked tirelessly to feed them behind the scenes. Elks member Mac Watson said this year there was a mix of volunteers and a dedicated seasoned crew behind the counter. “Without these people in here we couldn’t put this on every year,” he said. Over the weekend the dedicated group cooked up breakfast each morning and then homemade french fries, hotdogs, hamburgers, cotton candy, and other delicious

treats in the afternoon. More than 700 pounds of fresh cut french fries were cooked up over the weekend. “We’re off potatoes for awhile,” John Armstrong, the team’s dedicated potato slicer said while taking a break from cutting. “It’s only rice for us for quite awhile,” Bob Cornett the crew’s potato washer said with a laugh. Saturday was a switch up this year as the new program offered barrel racing and team roping. Under blue skies hundreds watched as their favourite amateur rodeo competitor tried his or her best. Monday the bleachers were packed and many people stood around the fencing for a front row view of the championships. The day was filled with a few
tense moments including when Lewis the small dog decided to run out onto the grounds after a failed attempt in team roping. The crowd gasped as Lewis ran after the steer with the riders not far behind and was almost trampled several times by the hooves of the horses. The crowd clapped with relief and delight when little Lewis made it back out of the grounds safely to his owner’s arms. The calf scramble drew much laughter even before it started as children got caught in the muddy patches of the grounds, with some losing their boots and others falling right in the mud. “That was worth the price of admission right there,” the announcer said over the loud speakers from

Family keeps Scott’s Ride alive Tara Bowie Review Staff
She bikes because her brother couldn’t. For the second time, Debbie Vernon is raising awareness for mitochondrial disease by biking across the western provinces into Ontario. She does the 4,000 kilometre trek to remember her big brother Scott and with hopes another family won’t suffer losing a loved one the same way. “It’s something that needs to get out there in the mainstream. It’s rare and not much is known about it so there are families out there today that have something wrong with their children and don’t know what it is,” Vernon said a day before she left on her ambitious ride. “I guess I ride because Scott couldn’t. He used to want to ride his bike so much but he couldn’t without getting sick.” Mitochondrial disease is as disease of the energy cells that effects different organs in the body including brain, heart, GI tract, muscles and eyes. For Scott the disease effected his brain, heart and muscles. He was often weak, and although he desperately wanted to ride his bike each time he would get a severe headache and stomach ache. At first the family thought it was the flu or another minor illness and that he just needed rest. But he would have severe headache and stomach aches about every six months. Scott died in 1985 at the age of 12. At the time his little sister was just
about to turn nine. Although he’d suffered through the disease for quite awhile it wasn’t until a week after Scott died the family had answers. “Scott suffered from strokes and seizures. He went blind just before he died. This disease is hard to explain to doctors. A lot of doctors themselves have never heard of mitochondrial disease,” Scott’s mother Linda Pilon said. Although it’s been 30 years since his death awareness and treatment options are limited. “I think there’s more research being done on it but it isn’t something many people know about. Still it’s fairly rare so there are doctors that don’t know about it,” she said. In 2012, the first time mother and daughter set out on their bikes for Scott’s Ride the duo went to Toronto. This time Vernon will ride alone while Pilon drives the support vehicle with great-grandchildren Quinn Davy, 18 months, and Aiden Bailey, 5. “It’s important to get them involved so they know Scott,” Pilon said. “When your son dies you’re hopeless so when you do a ride you hope you’re bringing hope to someone else.” Scott’s Ride rolled out of Keremeos this weekend and is expected to arrive in Ottawa about three weeks from now. The Review will update readers on their story. A Facebook page has been setup for Scott’s Ride and a bank account has been open at CIBC if anyone wants to donate.

Cawston company to research earwig pest control potential Cawston Cold Storage has received a grant of $140,160 in joint funding from the provincial and federal governments through the Canada-B.C. AgriInnovation Program. The funding will allow Cawston Cold Storage to test the potential of using earwigs as biological control for several apple-orchard insect pests including the rosy apple aphid, leafrollers, budmoth and apple clearwing moth. The grant comes from the governments of Canada and British Columbia’s commitment under the Growing Forward 2 agreement to provide up to $13.4 million between 2013 and 2018 through the Canada-B.C. Agri-Innovation Program. Projects funded through the program must have the potential to lead to the commercialization and/or adoption of innovative products, technologies and practices. So far, 80 projects have shared more than $7 million in funding.
“We need to ensure that B.C. remains at the forefront of agricultural innovation,” Boundary-Similkameen MLA Linda Larson said. “We continue to support finding non-chemical ways to deal with pests that cause loss of produce and income for farmers.” “The Canada-B.C. Agri-Innovation program funds projects that are looking for operable solutions to the issues facing agriculture,” Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. board chairman Ken Bates said. “This is a program focused on creating better opportunities for B.C.’s farmers and food processors and increasing our ability to compete as we look to the future.” The Canada-B.C. Agri-Innovation Program is administered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. Additional program information and application forms are available at: http://iafbc.ca/agri-innovation.htm

Sacrificing BC farmland It was 2008 when word first surfaced that B.C. farmland was being bought up to grow trees as a European carbon offset. Reckitt Benckiser Inc., a British-based global manufacturer of household products such as Lysol spray and Calgon laundry soap, bought 1,500 hectares east of Vanderhoof and planted aspen. For comparison, that’s about the size of downtown Vancouver from 16th and Oak to Stanley Park. Since tree growing is permitted in the Agricultural Land Reserve, a use intended for fruit, ornamental or nursery trees, no permission was needed. And to meet the carbon offset rules of the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change, a 100-year restrictive covenant against harvesting trees was issued by B.C.’s land titles office. Goodbye farmland. After that deal, the B.C. government changed legislation in 2011 to require permission from the Agricultural Land Commission to make these covenants valid. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick says he is waiting for that process to be tested. It likely will be soon. Reckitt has bought another 7,000 hectares of cleared farmland from Prince George down through the Cariboo to Quesnel. NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham has been tracking these acquisitions, and she says there are more deals in the works. Last fall, the Bulkley Nechako Regional District wrote to Victoria Wood, Reckitt Benckiser’s “global head of sustainability,” telling her that “the planting of trees on centrally located and productive agricultural lands is not appropriate” and would weaken local farm economies. Wood responded that the RB Trees project targets only “marginally productive” land such as pasture, abandoned farms or those that have been up for sale for long periods. Former Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson raised the issue in the legislature in 2008, noting that Crown land near Vanderhoof had been sold for farming, bought by a numbered company and then “flipped” for around $1 million to RB Trees. Now mayor of Quesnel, Simpson takes issue with the company’s claims with his usual shyness. “It’s bull----,” he told me. “This isn’t marginal land.” He said it includes prime alfalfa fields and historical ranch and forage crop lands. In one case, neighbours found out about the new use when they saw a helicopter spraying herbicide to prepare the area for tree seedlings. In the Cariboo as in other rural B.C. areas, aging farmers want to retire and young people keen to work seven days a week are in short supply. So naturally there is pressure to sell. Perhaps Letnick is right, and the ALC will stop productive farmland from being turned back into forest. While we’re waiting for that, here are a couple of other questions. What happens when these forests burn? The first big forest fire of 2015 grew out of control near Prince George last week. And since aspen doesn’t last 100 years, what is its real carbon offset value? How’s that European carbon trading market doing? It’s a mess, with the cost of emitting a tonne of carbon dioxide fallen far below what’s needed to be effective, and Interpol investigating various schemes to game the system. Remember B.C’s own Pacific Carbon Trust? This Gordon Campbell brainchild to sell carbon offsets was quietly greenhouse gassed after the Auditor General revealed its first two big projects were of questionable value to say the least. Finally, does anyone really think that returning B.C.’s scarce farmland to forest is a good way to change the weather? Would it offset the loss of local production and trucking in farm produce from elsewhere? And where are B.C.’s tireless food security advocates on this dubious scheme? - Tom Fletcher, Black Press

Letters to the editor
Tearing down CLTs Letter to the Editor: I oppose the attempt to start a Community Land Trust (CLT) anywhere in the Similkameen Valley. My research shows: CLTs can only exist by constantly soliciting land donations and grants. The elderly are prime targets for property donations. Foundations and charities in the Poverty Business typically consume 85% on administration – 15% gets to the poor. Most CLT proponents espouse antidevelopment and collective idealogies. Scams are common where charitable status is in effect. A CLT claims to provide affordable
housing. Hedley of all places has no problem in this respect. So I’m wondering what’s the motivation. Now suppose that the NDP is elected, big grant money hits town, properties come under their control, maybe even a rehab facility. Socialist programs using other people’s money is something I’d rather not see. And because our housing is so affordable, I think their efforts might be better made where housing is 10 times higher and the poor are stacked three deep on the side walks. David Peers Hedley

Passing of Bill C-51 turning into election issue Letter to the Editor: After attending the Public Forum to Oppose Bill C-51 in Kelowna, Bob Nicholson of Penticton wrote that the intent of the bill was “to reassure fearful Canadians.” I guess it’s some kind of accident that through its content, the bill makes disagreeing with the government a crime. In Nicholson’s view, Justin Trudeau voted for C-51 because he approved the intent. As for the content, he promised to amend it if he forms a government after October. Because Thomas Mulcair also promised to amend the bill,
Nicholson, ex-journalist and selfdescribed Liberal political activist, wants us to think Trudeau is no different from Mulcair. He wants us to believe Trudeau is not the enemy. There are numerous problems with this story. First, C-51 does more than criminalize dissent. James Cowan, leader of the Liberal Senate opposition, wrote to me about the many witnesses who appeared before the Senate National Security and Defence Committee – “[They] identified major problems with the bill, including unprecedented provisions that threaten
fundamental rights of Canadians – privacy rights, and even fundamental rights and freedoms under the Charter. At the same time, witnesses questioned whether in fact the bill would actually make Canadians safer. “Moreover, the bill would create these new controversial powers without providing for the critical oversight of those powers – oversight that is accepted and indeed valued, including by the police and intelligence services, in other Western democracies around the world.” Second, Trudeau himself told

chopped up, dried and stored in barrels. The apple chips are a treat particularly prized by children. “By next April we’ll have about 900 full barrels,” Lex explained. “We will use an assembly line of people to scoop a measured amount of mix into a moving bucket. This will be transferred into plastic bags. Each bag will contain 15 to 20 ingredients and provide 100 servings of soup mix. Recipients will add their local spices. The apple chips are bagged separately.” Lex introduced us to Jack Woods, formerly in the trucking business. Now 81, he said, “I’ve been coming since 2003. Two weeks in spring and two in fall.” His face suggests strength of character, his voice exudes passion. Sharon McClennan saw hungry children when she volunteered in the Philippines. She asked, “where else can I go to help produce 21,000 meals per day for people who are starving?” As we passed the noisy dehydrators, we needed to listen carefully as Lex continued. “The funds to run and maintain the equipment come almost entirely from individual donors. The vegetables and apples are supplied by farmers and others. If the quantity is fairly large, we will pick up. We also use frozen product, provided by
Lucerne Foods in Abbotsford. Cobs in Penticton and Tim Horton’s in Oliver donate (day old) treats for coffee time.” The soup mixes and apple chips are distributed through established, reputable organizations such as World Vision, Mennonite Central Committee, Missions Without Borders and several others. Hungry people in over 40 countries on 5 continents have received the mixes. At least eight Gleaners societies currently operate in Canada. “We make good use of food that would otherwise be wasted,” Lex told us. “Each year our plant produces at least 5 million servings. To accomplish this we depend on donations of produce and money. We also need people with specific skills such as carpentry, electrical, plumbing, mechanics, and accounting.” A note from an appreciative African aid worker describes the Gleaners impact in one village. “After the people here had been eating the soup mix for a month, we noticed they were more alert and had energy to work.” Toward the end of our tour, Lex observed, “it’s easy to write a cheque, but there is a deep satisfaction that comes from hands on experience. Volunteers know they are personally providing nutritious food to hungry people.”
us why he voted for this exceptionally dangerous bill. He said Harper would attack any opponent as being soft on terrorism. He didn’t want that accusation in an election year. Whereas Trudeau accepted an undemocratic police state to obtain some political comfort, the Senate Liberals are signalling rebellion. Cowan wrote – “If the government refuses to strike a more reasonable balance between security and liberty, and to provide appropriate parliamentary oversight, I will vote against the bill . . . . [M]any, if not most of my
Senate Liberal Caucus colleagues will do the same.” Third, what makes Mulcair different from Trudeau is that he voted against C-51. He’s since declared he’ll repeal it completely if he forms a government. Nicholson and I agree on one point: In October, Canadians will face the most important choice in a generation. We must remove Harper and rebuild the Canada he is dismantling. I know who I’m going to vote for. Do you? Dianne Varga
Volunteers deliver valley goodness to third world The consulting firm, Value Chain International, recently reported that in Canada $31 billion worth of food is wasted annually. In view of this, I’m impressed with what Okanagan Gleaners Society of Oliver is doing. The Gleaners have developed an ingenious but simple formula using unwanted food to feed hungry people around the globe. In a two hour tour of the Gleaners plant, Society president Lex Haagen told Linda and me, “We’re almost 100 percent volunteer and donor driven. Except for the general manager, we’re all volunteers.” Lex appreciates the help being given by people in the Similkameen Valley. He hopes many more will catch the vision and pitch in. A former City of Abbotsford fire chief, Lex is lean and fit. He has certainly caught the vision. His enthusiasm and commitment are palpable. Observing the approximately 20 volunteers at work, we sensed an aura of determination and contentment. Intent on their assignments, they seemed largely oblivious to our presence. We learned the Gleaners depend on donations of beans, egg plant, onions, carrots, brussel sprouts , peas, potatoes, etc. They also welcome apples. The produce is
Lex Haagen holds a bag of dried soup mix, prepared from local produce, that will feed a family in third world.
Okanagan Gleaners began operations in 1996, the vision of a small group of Christians concerned about food being wasted while others starved. “We welcome anyone who wants to help,” Lex said. “We never turn anyone away.” Volunteers arrive from all parts of B.C. and the prairie provinces, even Ontario. Twelve serviced RV sites are available, plus tenting in the orchard. Registration is impor-
tant from April to October. “In summer we get quite a few families,” Lex said. “It’s a good way for children to learn about giving to those who have little.” According to the Gleaners website, “if you can clean and chop, you can help.” They work from 8:30 to noon.

New batch of ambassadors crowned Review Staff
Judges crowned four at the second annual Keremeos Ambassador pageant. The new crop of Keremeos Ambassador’s are Bryan Deyaeger, Chelsea Matzick, Jodi McRae and Selena Nugteren. Retiring royalty was Téa Hartfield and Jamie Forner. Nugteren also served as ambassador in 2014 and will continue her duties for another year. The pageant was held Sunday night at Victory Hall. The night included talent, speeches, an impromptu question and group talent. “It was an excellent night and we are so proud of all the ambassadors,” Sherry Philpott-Adhikary, organizer said. Visiting ambassador royalty from Osoyoos, Oliver, Princeton and other communities also presented information about their areas. A silent auction was held and local dignitaries spoke about the importance of the program in the community. The ambassador program helps youth grow skills including public speaking and networking while promoting the Keremeos area.

Cawston Players to take Penticton stage Review Staff
The Cawston Players are headed to a bigger stage. The April production of God of Carnage that brought in full house crowds was such a success the ensemble will perform in Penticton at the Shatford Centre in June. “Its something the players have talked about from time to time but there’s a lot of logistics involved and a bit of risk,” Dave Cursons, longtime Cawston Players member and director of God of Carnage. As the set for God of Carnage is relatively simple, a living room including coffee table, couch, bar and a couple of side chairs and a carpet, it makes setup and take down quick and easy. “That’s part of the issue with trying to find another venue is that stages are being used for rehearsal or productions or one-off events by other groups. We’ll just throw this set in the pickup and set it up,” Cursons said. The play written by Yasmina Reza, centres round a sit down chat between two sets of parents after a violent disagreement takes place between their sons on the playground.

JAYESH PATEL WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY
WHAT IS HEALING TOUCH By Catherine Awai Healing Touch is an energy based approach to health and healing. We are energetic beings and when our energy is balanced and flowing freely we experience health and harmony. Through the stress of daily living our energy system can become disrupted, unbalanced and depleted and the result can be fatigue, tension, and pain or the symptoms of illness. Healing Touch uses light touch to influence the human energy system, specifically the energy flow surrounding the body and the energy centers that control the flow of energy into the body. These non invasive techniques can clear, energize and balance the human and environmental energy fields promoting physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health and healing. The goal in Healing Touch is to restore harmony and balance in the energy system placing the client in a position to self heal. Healing touch has been documented to: • Accelerate the wound healing process • Reduce pain • Alleviate anxiety and stress • Strengthen the immune system • Promote deep relaxation • Offer support and healing during life transitions. To receive a Healing touch session the client relaxes, fully clothed on a massage table. The practitioner will discuss the client’s goals, complete an assessment of the client’s energy field and proceed with a variety of healing touch techniques. Usually the client will experience a sense of deep relaxation and relief from discomfort. Healing Touch is a multi level program that moves from beginning to advanced practitioner. A variety of energy based modalities are taught in the first five levels. After level five there is the opportunity for certification as a Healing Touch Practitioner. This program is open to all individuals desiring an indepth understanding and practice of healing work using energy based concepts. Participants find this work supports self development and self healing. As a nursing continuing education program it is especially beneficial to health care professionals.

World No Tobacco Day is on Sunday, May 31 this year. This is a World Health Organization - sanctioned day to highlight all that’s bad about smoking. Tobacco use is one of the leading preventable causes of death. It’s a global epidemic that kills nearly 6 million people yearly. Make every day a no tobacco day. CHOOSING THE RIGHT PAIN RELIEVER
There are really only 4 pain-relievers on the market in Canada available without a prescription. They are ASA, acetaminophen, naproxen and ibuprofen. Choosing the right one can be difficult. Our pharmacists can help. MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY
Many people over the age of 50 are deficient in magnesium and this could raise their risk of stroke. Men need 420 mg per day while women need 320 mg. You get magnesium from boods such as beans (chick, kidney, black, soy), spinach, halibut, almonds, cashews and yogurt. If you don’t eat these foods, there are supplements available to make up the difference. TRADITIONAL MEDICINES & TODAY
The Amazon jungle has long been a source of new drugs. Now, the Chinese are looking at traditional Chinese medicines, trying to isolate the main chemical responsible for their positive effect on certain medical conditions. They have already found a product for malaria and soon one for atrial fibrillation. These drugs will be available in China first then soon worldwide. Our pharmacists work hard to keep on top of the latest in drug research. If it’s new or coming soon, we will know about it. Questions? Ask us.

Former area provincial politician dies Dale Boyd Black Press
A councillor, mayor and MLA, John Slater was first and foremost a farmer. Kind words from politicians and colleagues followed after Slater passed away Tuesday night. “I am deeply saddened to hear John Slater has passed away. John was a caucus colleague and a friend,” said Premier Christy Clark in a statement issued from the premier’s office. “John was passionate about his home, and the people who make Osoyoos special. That passion led to 30 years of dedicated service to the community he loved,” Clark said. Clark said Slater, who at one-time was the mayor of Osoyoos, previously sat as a city councillor and as the BoundarySimilkameen MLA, lent his time to everything from coaching sports to volunteering with the chamber of commerce. “But no matter what his official title was, John always thought of himself first and foremost as a farmer,” Clark said. The premier noted Slater’s long list of achievements in the area including the modernizing of century-old legislation to
protect B.C.’s fresh water which culminated in the Water Sustainability Act. He was also instrumental in the creation of a new high school in Oliver, the Horizon Health Centre in Osoyoos, the expanded Midway Arena as well as improvements to the highways and public walkways. “Like everyone who knew him, I will always remember John’s quick smile, good humour, and infectious laugh,” Clark said. A long-time friend of Slaters, and current Oliver town councillor, Jack Bennest said he was sad to hear the news. “John and I were fairly close and we had known each other well for 10 years,” Bennest said. He said they first met up at a Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. “He had fun. We had fun. John had a warm handshake and a smile,” Bennest said. Slater was always very involved in every level of contribution, political or not, in the area according to Mayor of Osoyoos Sue McKortoff “John was a great supporter of this town, (he) had been on council as a councillor and a mayor for about 15 years,” McKortoff said.
“I found him to be very approachable and he always had a positive attitude,” McKortoff said. Before she was on town council, McKortoff was the chairperson of the Cherry Fiesta festival in Osoyoos. She said Slater was a big help getting the community services together for festival meetings. “He would organize it and I would walk in as the organizer and we’d all sit down and he would say ‘OK Sue, go’ and we’d all have a good laugh,” McKortoff said. “He was very supportive of anything that went on in the town. He was always from my point of view very cheerful, very positive, very accommodating.” McKortoff said she connected with Slater as a parent as well, having taught his son in school. “He is going to be missed for sure,” McKortoff said. Slater continued to be involved in politics after serving one term as MLA, and ran for city council last November. “Just to show how keen he was to be involved in the town he even decided to run for council again in November.”
