‘Ancient’ remains found in Cawston orchard Tara Bowie Review Staff
Human remains have been found on a Cawston-area apple orchard. The remains were found Monday, February 29, when contractors hired by an orchardist at a farm on Upper Bench Road near the intersection of Daly Drive removed old apple trees and were levelling the land. Members of the RCMP and the BC Coroner’s office attended the scene first and determined the remains were not part of a recent death and were most likely of Syilx descent. The Lower Similkameen Indian Band (LSIB) was then contacted. The site, about 25-feet wide and 200-feet long can be seen from the roadway behind a fence and is taped off with police tape.

Members of the province’s Archeology Branch are working with the property owner and the Lower Similkameen Indian Band to meet the needs of both parties and protect the human remains.
LSIB Chief Keith Crow has attended the site several times over the last few days and met with the coroner’s office. Crow said the area is known to LSIB members as an old burial ground. Previously burial grounds were often located on raised hill areas similar to the recently found burial site. Not far from the orchard there is a marked burial site and there are sev-
eral other known burial sites within a kilometre of where the most recent remains were found. Years ago the remains of a first Nations Baby from the area were released to the LSIB from a museum and were repatriated to a site nearby. The LSIB has done extensive work on locating burial grounds in recent decades. “We know there are burials through this area. We never marked grave sites it wasn’t our practice,” Crow said. At this point Crow was not able to release the number of bodies that were unearthed at the site or that might be in the area. “We have an estimate but we’re not ready to release it yet,” he said. He was also not able to estimate the age of the bones but rather referred to them as “ancient.” “We’ve been told the quality and consistency of them is that they are old. We haven’t carbon dated them yet. But we know they’re old,” he said. Crow’s hope is that an agreement can be made with the farmer to leave the remains on site. Continued on page 3
New sportsmen association award honours longtime volunteer Review Staff
The inaugural winner of the Shirley Beausoleil Volunteer Award was humbled to earn a spot on an award in honour of her friend. The new award was given out at the Keremeos-Cawston Sportsmen Association awards dinner held Saturday night at Victory Hall. “I am really honoured. She was a such a beautiful lady. I am really honoured to have my name on an award named after her,” Dorothy Smith said shortly after receiving the award. Beausoleil was a longtime volunteer at the sportsmen association. She died this past summer. “Shirley was a quiet, unassuming member who went about volunteering for K-CSA functions and events with little fan fare. She shunned the spotlight, how-
ever Shirley could be counted on to be in the background at every event regardless of location helping out with whatever she could,” K-CSA president Doug Boult said before announcing Smith as the first recipient of the award. Smith worked on different committees with Beausoleil since joining the K-CSA in 2003. “We bumped into each other quite often at events. She was always giving of her time,” Smith said. The new award is special as the recipient is chosen by a vote held within the membership. “We could go on for hours talking about everything this lady has done for K-CSA,” Boult said while describing Smith. Smith was the K-CSA membership chair for 10 years. She’s also been the kitchen chair, concession chair, the last
two years she was the banquet co-chair. She has held the banquet decorating chair or co-chair position as long as anyone can remember. She’s also organized a number of Christmas parties. “This lady does it all. Wow, did the membership get this right,” Boult said. Other recipients of awards at the banquet included secretary Jade Schneider. Schneider earned the President’s Trophy. The Jr. Sportsmen of the Year Award went to Zane Gibbs while the Sr. Sportsmen of the Year Award had two recipients Ron Smith and Kathaleen Gibbs. Club Championships winners were: Junior, silver, Skye Schneider; Jr. Champ, Jetson Gibbs; Ladies Silver, Skye Schneider; Ladies Champ, Jade Schneider; Mens Bronze, Greg Sanderson; Silver, Matthew Campbell and Overall Champ, Doug Boult.

Keremeos council throws support behind Osoyoos Tara Bowie Review Staff
Keremeos Council has joined in with a number of other organizations and municipalities to throw support behind Osoyoos and their pleas to keep the community’s secondary school open. The letter was drafted by Mayor Manfred Bauer and present councillors including Sherri PhilpottAdhikary, Arlene Arlow and Jeremy Evans voted unanimously to send the letter to the school board at the March 7 council meeting. Absent from the meeting was Jason Wiebe. “The social and economic impact to the communities that experience school closures are farreaching and may very well out weigh the immediate benefits of reducing the School Board’s oper-
ating budget. If the closure of more schools in our district in the coming years is inevitable, perhaps now is the time to work together on proactive longterm strategies,” the letter states. In January recommendations for potential school closures in Oliver and Osoyoos were presented by the Okanagan-Similkameen School District. Facing a deficit that could grow to $1.4 million in 2017-2018 and declining enrolment the board moved the recommendations and have been holding special public meetings to get feedback. A meeting was held March 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Sonora Community Centre. Philpott-Adhikary applauded council’s decision to draft a support letter for Osoyoos.
“I just want to commend the Mayor’s decision to write this letter to offer support,” she said during the council meeting. “We could very well be in a similar situation in coming years.” The Town of Oliver offered a similar letter of support to the Town of Osoyoos. “It could very well have been us that was put up on the block,” Coun. Jeremy Evans said. Closing Cawston School was discussed by the board but ruled out for now as it would cost the board $500,000 in rural school grant funding and cost about $1.6 million to renovate Similkameen Elementary Secondary School in a K to Grade 12 school. A final meeting will be held
April 6 at Osoyoos Secondary School. The potential school closures in Osoyoos were brought up recently during Question Period in Victoria. “Parents and communities are asking why their schools are closing while the BC Liberals are giving a $1 billion tax cut to millionaires and hitting public education with a $54 million budget cut in communities like Osoyoos,” said BCNDP Education Critic Rob Fleming. “They are asking what Liberal MLAs are doing here to advocate for them and their students and so far the answer is almost nothing.” Fleming called out BoundarySimilkameen MLA Linda Larson for not attending any of the public meetings on the school closures
Grist Mill holding depression-era book reading Dave Cursons For the Review
The Keremeos Grist Mill and Gardens will play host to Princeton residents Jon Bartlett and Rika Ruebsaat who will read from their new book Soviet Princeton. The event will be held March 12 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. In the winter of 1932, Princeton’s few thousand citizens saw much of the human drama of the Great Depression play out right in their own lives over the course of just a few months. Drawn from primary sources, Soviet Princeton tells of mounted police charging picket lines, threats from the Ku Klux Klan and the kidnapping of legendary labour organizer, Slim Evans. Evans later led the On–to–Ottawa
Trek of relief camp workers to confront Prime Minister R.B. ‘Iron Hell’ Bennett. Bartlett and Ruebsaat are founders of The Princeton Traditional Music
Festival, promoters and performers of multiple genres of the music of common folk.

“We need to quit moving our people when they are dug up. They are there for a reason they should stay there,” Crow said. He urged anyone that might be doing any digging in the area to first contact the
LSIB. “There’s definitely emotions behind it,” Crow said of how he and fellow band members were feeling knowing their ancestors’ remains were disturbed. “It’s really unfortunate that it’s happened but we’re working with the orchardist and it’s been going well.”
In April 2014 remains about 1,400 years old were unearthed at Haynes Point in Osoyoos. Most recently in the Similkameen the remains of young native girl were unearthed in a development site in Keremeos in 2006. The girl’s remains were moved to a site in Ashnola.

Bernier said he disagrees with Fleming’s viewpoint that school closures should be a provincial government decision. “School closures are made because of a lack of students not a lack of funding,” said Bernier adding that there is a reason for school boards and the School Board Act.

Sexist jokes are dangerous, not funny International Women’s Day is one of those days in red on the calendar that is easily overlooked. There are no television or newspaper ads encouraging people to buy things or send cards. On the bright side, generally women are not expected to cook large meals for extended family just because…well…because there is a day in red on the calendar. Many communities mark International Women’s Day with events like community breakfasts, fundraising walks, or programs to deliver flowers or cupcakes. Those are fun and possibly empowering endeavors, but a nod in the direction of making the world, the country, and your hometown a safer and better place for women needn’t be that organized. Here’s an idea to make your own contribution to the betterment of women. Stop telling sexist jokes. Sexist jokes are not funny, and they are not actually jokes. Sexist jokes are socially acceptable tools used to underscore stereotypes that make women feel undervalued and unsafe and – for some reason – seem to make men feel better about themselves. Don’t let your kids tell sexist jokes and if you hear some off-color misogyny in the locker room at the gym or in the coffee room at work “man up” and voice an objection. Do it even if there are no women around who might hear and appreciate you. Do it because it’s the right thing to do. Try to imagine when some jerk makes a crack about a woman’s body, or her brain, he is talking about your mother, your sister or your daughter. Not such a laugh then, is it? It’s harder for women to take a stand when a friend or colleague makes a sexist comment. They should still do it, but it’s harder. Women who challenge a joke or slur just aren’t “playing the game.” They risk censure at work, or the ridicule of people they care about. They are accused of feminism, as if that’s some kind of disease or social disorder. Sexist jokes are at one end of a cultural spectrum that includes financial discrimination, harassment, violence and rape. Think about that, the next time you jokingly tell a woman to go make you a sandwich. – AD
Premiers do the carbon shuffle Premier Christy Clark had her dancing shoes on as yet another “climate change” meeting ended in disarray in Vancouver last week. “This is not the end,” Clark assured reporters after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the premiers emerged with no agreement on a national minimum carbon price. No kidding. Trudeau declared victory by announcing the unanimous consent to a “Vancouver Declaration,” which basically pays lip service to the concept of “carbon pricing” and kicks another grand federal election promise down the road. As the rest headed for jets waiting at Vancouver airport, Clark expressed the hope that the public would say “they got together and they made progress.” Did they? Let’s take a look. Going into the WhistlerVancouver stop on Trudeau’s globe-trotting glamour tour, Clark correctly noted that it’s other provinces that need to make progress. B.C. has a clear price on carbon emissions; it’s been held at $30 a tonne since Clark succeeded its creator, Gordon Campbell. Clark’s advice for other

prices have tumbled and could stay low for years to come. And with a fragile economy, it seems unlikely that a big boost in carbon taxes will find favour with voters a year from now. The B.C. NDP is trying to rebuild its credibility on climate policy. NDP leader John Horgan tried to revise the party’s history, claiming in year-end interviews that the NDP didn’t oppose the carbon tax, only making it revenue neutral rather than spending the money on green initiatives, as Alberta wants to do. Alas, the NDP’s “axe the tax” campaign going into the 2009 election is a matter of record. The party’s election platform warned that Campbell’s plan “increases taxes for average families by tripling the gas tax” to its current level. Last week the NDP issued a news release denouncing Clark for presiding over increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

After seven months, local soapstone sculpture takes flight Tara Bowie Review Staff
The owls are leaving the nest soon. For the last seven months Hedley artist Terry Leonard has been working on a soapstone carving of an adult owl with four younger owls huddled under her wing while sitting on a branch. This is the second soapstone work Leonard has created. “Someone gave me some soapstone so I’m really just learning about how to work with it,” Leonard said. “I think people don’t realize how soft of a stone it really is, a fingernail could probably scratch it.” The soapstone came from a friend on Salt Spring Island. Leonard showed his piece at the art and craft night at the Hedley Seniors’ Centre last week. The weekly evening event brings artisans from the area together so they can work on and showoff their pieces in a supportive setting. Leonard said the shape of the soapstone has been the inspiration of what he eventually carves. He first saw the eyes of the large owl in the stone
and its back side. During the carving process, he had to be careful not to slope or shave too much away. “You can’t put it back. You have to be really careful. The eyes were there from the beginning and then I started creating the shape,” he said. Surprising to Leonard was how much polishing was involved for the sculpture. He made the owls very detailed even including little claws and ridges around the eyes. “Other soapstone pieces aren’t as detailed and I think that’s why because it takes a lot of time to polish it,” he said. He used 600-grit ultra fine sandpaper and some other tools around his home to create the sculpture. “There isn’t a lot of tools used with this. The soapstone is so soft you could carve it with a knife,” he said. Leonard is currently working on another soapstone piece of a whale jumping out of water. He plans to send the owl piece to Vancouver to be sold in a gallery sometime this spring or early summer.
Letter to the Editor
Leap Day event intimate, informative To the Editor: I was pleased with the Leap Day event held at the Cawston Hall Monday evening. Although there was not a huge turnout, people began trickling in right at 6 p.m. and kept on coming in throughout the evening. There were videos, photo displays, and information about the water testing in our river, native lands and issues, organic farming, information regarding solar power and more. Those who came were interested and at no time was there an empty table. Because there wasn’t a huge crowd people had a lot of one-on-one conversations at the
tables and there were lively conversations throughout the room. I would have liked to see more parents with children. Mia Brown sat alone painting some lovely pictures. Her brother, Simon, asked some very pertinent questions at Dixon’s table and spoke a few words to him in his native language. A big thanks to all who worked so hard making this happen and to all those who came out to learn about our beautiful river and valley. Donna Stocker Cawston

Love and comfort are alternatives to assisted suicide Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca
Unless we’ve endured traumatic physical, emotional, or psychological distress, the current debate concerning doctor assisted suicide may be of little interest to us. It’s an issue I began thinking about some years ago as the result of a difficult personal experience. A medical practitioner performed a maneuver on me that seriously disturbed my sciatic nerve. Over several days an excruciating, burning pain began radiating downward from my back to my toes. I wasn’t told one of my pain prescriptions could induce suicidal thoughts. The prospect of living out my years with this throbbing, burning pain almost unhinged me. I sat on the floor of our living room many nights, thinking about dragging myself to the nearest busy street and waiting for a large truck. It was a realization this act would be grossly unfair to Linda that held me back. Fortunately, a couple of people urged me to visit a doctor who had helped them and in time my condition improved. I didn’t feel I had handled my adversity well. Then my 89 year Branch No. 192 The Royal Canadian Legion Keremeos 499-5634 rclsouthsim192@gmail.com
was Susie. Now in her early 80s, she had fallen out of a cherry tree several years ago. An adventuresome soul who had loved action, she now sat quietly in her wheelchair in the dining room, unable to propel herself. In spite of this cruel twist of fate, her eyes twinkled and she smiled when I crouched beside her to visit. A few days before she passed away, she reached for my hand and pronounced a blessing on me in her native tongue. Dad’s response to the unkind ravages of life gave me a further example that has impacted my thinking. He had once been a respected heavy equipment operator and active in the community. Music had long been a passion and now in the facility he still played the cello, although with enormous difficulty. At night two care aides used a lift to place him in bed. In the morning they dressed him and lifted him into his wheelchair. On bath day the lift lowered him into the tub and an aide washed him. He required assistance for going to the bathroom. Toward the end, he was too weak to feed himself. Because of his age and helpless
old Dad broke a hip and was placed in a longterm care facility where all residents required wheelchairs and extensive help. This presented me with an opportunity to observe the response of people living with extremely depleted health. Some, like Ruby, felt they had been betrayed by their bodies. A former airline hostess, she still retained vestiges of the startlingly good looks that must have once turned the heads of male passengers. Now in her early 40s, she had MS and the bitter tone and words suggested she considered her life finished. Unfortunately, she didn’t have a support network to sustain her. In the room next to Dad was Ron, whose ALS was already well advanced. He and his wife understood the illness would relentlessly destroy his ability to function. During the half year I knew him, Ron was rarely alone, except at night. A virtually endless stream of family and friends visited, even though they could no longer understand his words. He loved the people and they loved him. Their presence seemed to give him a reason to live. One of my favourite residents
state, several nurses said, “you need to give him permission to die.” Very reluctantly, I followed this advice. “No,” Dad said firmly, “I still like to live.” He never became bitter, never let the experience take away his sense of dignity. Like Ron and Susie, Dad had gathered inner strength, built strong relationships with the extended family, and resisted feeling sorry for himself when circumstances turned against him. He had come to a place of deep inner contentment which served him well in this state of virtually complete helplessness.
Having experienced pain myself, I cannot argue with those who long to die because their bodies are wracked by intense, uncontrollable pain. Nor with those who know their condition will deteriorate into a vegetative state. I do feel though that our society may be rushing too quickly along a path fraught with dangerous and unanticipated perils. My hope is that we can be wiser, more compassionate in offering help to incapacitated people. At least in some cases, there may be happier options.

Exercise: It won’t matter what you feed your pet and how few drugs and vaccines they are subjected to, if you do not exercise them, they will suffer the consequences. The biggest drawback to little or no exercise would be obesity problems, which now is seen in over 25% of the pet population. The feeding of grain-based diets (dry foods) and lack of daily activity is taking its toll on North American pets. Daily exercise improves your pet’s stamina, health, mental well-being and much more. Cats aren’t much into regimented exercise, but they do enjoy good playtime. So get going and enjoy your pets! Since daily exercise improves your stamina, health, mental well-being and more, this is beneficial for both two and four legged members of the family. Medicines: Having practiced a conventional style of veterinary medicine for many years and switching to a more holistic approach in the last few, I have seen the good and bad points of each modality. Many of our every day medical problems are potentially treatable with homeopathy and other alternative modalities as a first resort rather than as a last resort and with far fewer side effects. Each time your pet has a problem, consider how you would like yourself or a family member treated and choose the same for your pet. Spray your dog’s bed with an oil of oregano spray to help keep away mosquitoes, and fleas. Oregano essential oil is often used as a component of organic bug sprays and repellents.
Besides not asking for directions while traveling, men seem more hesitant to visit their doctors unless they have a serious problem. They are also less willing to ask for more information about their medications. This is a good time for men to get to know their pharmacists better and use them as a reliable information source. Women who smoke through their adult lives have triple the risk of dying compared to women of the same age who have never smoked. The good news is that those women who quit before the age of 40 can reduce this risk by 90%. Stopping before the age of 30 is even better. What’s better still is not to start smoking. Thyroid pills are taken daily by many Canadians to supplement what their own thyroid gland isn’t providing. Absorption is best on an empty stomach and people usually take it in the morning. Since, many drugs are taken in the morning, you can take your thyroid in the evening at bedtime. Whatever time you choose, be consistent and take it at the same time each day. Whether you are wondering about a new drug that is coming on the market or an old one that’s been around a while, you can depend on our pharmacists for good information.

Heartworm (dogs): Fortunately, there have been no positive tests in any dogs that have lived their entire life in Kelowna, even those traveling outside Kelowna, and very, very few in the Okanagan in the last several years. For this reason, I do not council clients to put their dogs on heartworm preventative medication unless they are traveling to an area where there are lots of cases. Just like any other drug, heartworm medicine has a systemic, or whole body, effect. The fewer chemicals we put in and on our pets, chances are the healthier they will be. Coarse language.

Nutrition: The food we put in our bodies to a huge extent determines how healthy we are. It is no different for pets. If you choose to feed processed pet foods to your pets, it is a good idea to supplement with fresh foods on a regular basis so they too can take advantage of the phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals present in fresh raw fruits and veggies.

The feeding of natural foods to pets, including meat, is gaining more and more support amongst pet owners, breeders and holistic veterinarians alike. The reason is because it is proving to be beneficial. Yes, it is controversial, but I see the benefits every day at my office and hear the testimonials daily. Do not be afraid to check it out and make up your own mind. Your pets will love you for it!
