Owners of the ranching property that is home to a popular tourist and local attraction called The Columns have closed access to the site citing liability issues. “Basically we only did this because of liability,” Wade Clifton said during a phone interview Monday. “We didn’t even want to do this. I don’t like the conflict. It’s been good for the community but unfortunately it’s the reality of our times – people don’t want to be responsible for themselves.” The Clifton family has owned the large ranching property between Keremeos and Olalla since the late 1960s.

Shootout hits target with young archers Tara Bowie Review Staff
There really isn’t anything 10-year-old Symone Schneider doesn’t like about archery. “I like shooting things, learning and exploring,” the precise cub archer said around lunchtime Saturday – the first day of the Keremeos-Cawston Sportsmen Association 3-D shoot. The eager archer hadn’t yet been out on the course but was patiently waiting for her dad Len Schneider to be ready to go. While waiting she took a few practice shots at a styrofoam elk near her family’s camping spot for the weekend. She’s been doing archery for the last four years - since she was six. “Sometimes it is hard cause I miss,” she said when asked how challenging the sport is for her. Her favourite part is trying to get a robin hood, which she explained she does often when out with her Dad. “That’s when I try to shoot out Dad’s arrow,” she said with
a laugh. Symone is one of several young archers who went through the course over the weekend. For brothers Gunner, 10, and Thorbien Iversen, 8, Saturday was their second 3-D shoot that they’ve ever participated in. “It’s pretty fun,” Gunner said after hitting a deer with his arrow. Dad, John Iversen said the crew along with friend Marius Deltuva had come from Oliver and Osoyoos to join in the fun. “It’s a great course. The kids are just learning so they tend to run out when they shouldn’t because they’re excited but everyone’s been really great,” John Iversen said. The Iversen’s recently took up archery at the suggestion of Deltuva as something interesting to do together outdoors. “It’s important for the kids to get out,” Deltuva said. “It’s something to do together and they’re learning.” And that’s the point of the shootout Len Schneider said. The sportsmen association
has been holding the shoot for about 30 years and each year Len Schneider makes up the course. It’s a labour intensive weekend for the volunteers but rewarding. This year about 50 people attended each day of the shootout, varying in ages and coming from as far away as the Lower Mainland. Two years ago the shoot moved to the powwow grounds and offers free camping for those that want to stay. Len Schneider said numbers are lower than some other years but there’s a growing interest with the kids. “There’s so much going on. They have soccer, basketball, everything. We’re just trying to get more for kids to do, for families to do together. Anyone can do this from children to seniors. We want to get them out here and away from the computer,” he said. The shoot is held each April and equipment is available to borrow for those that need it.

Sue-happy society closes columns, not Clifton’s
So another area attraction used by locals and tourists is no longer accessible but before you blame the landowners first take some of the blame yourself. The Clifton’s, a ranching family who own the property where The Columnns reside, told the Review this week that because of liability issues they would no longer be allowing people on the property for the purpose of hiking to the rare rock formation. The longtime Lower Similkameen Valley family and multigenerational ranchers weighed out their options carefully over the last 10 years before finally feeling like they had no other option but to pull the plug on access entirely. Ideas they kicked around included obtaining insurance but when policies were looked into it was clear that premiums were not affordable. In the past they’ve granted permission when someone called ahead of time but Wade Clifton said the real fear now is that by providing permission they are accepting liability if anyone is hurt. In the past they might have turned a blind eye to someone who came up on their property looking to take the gruelling hike to The Columns to see the cooled lava formations. But no more. They will now be asking people to leave immediately upon sight. No Trespassing signs have been put up for the last few years and will be enforced with calls to RCMP if necessary. The risk of someone suing is just too high in this sue-happy society we’ve all created. We all know someone who’s sued because of a car accident. Although many of those are completely justified there are those that we all know aren’t. The person who is ‘hurt’ is soaking it for what it’s worth to squeeze as much money out of whoever they can because they can. Then there’s the outlandish lawsuits that you hear of from time to time of someone suing a fast food chain because their coffee was too hot. That’s a hard one to swallow and the fact that a person was given $2.8 million adds to the burn. There are lawsuits of people trespassing on property and being injured. Two teens in Pennsylvania were severely burned atop a parked railroad car in the early 2000s. The teens trespassed on railroad property climbed on top of a boxcar in hopes of getting a view of the city. An uninsulated wire suspended above the train jolted one of the teens sending 12,500 volts of electricity threw him and causing severe burns to over 75 percent of his body. The other teen received burns over 12 percent of his body when he ran to assist his friend, whose clothes were on fire. Their lawsuit netted them close to $25 million i These last two incidents of course happened in the US but similar lawsuits are weaving their way through the Canadian court system right now. One of the most ridiculous comes out of London, Ontario where a university student is suing the makers of the Kit Kat bar because her chocolate bar didn’t have wafers in it. She wants a lifetime supply of the chocolate bar. Here’s a twist on the chocolate bar’s iconic jingle. “Gimme a break. Gimme a break. Break me off a piece of social responsibility and let’s talk about it over a Kit Kat bar.” And while we’re doing that let’s all give the Clifton’s a break as they do what’s best for their family and their futures. - T.B.
Warming industry cries wolf, again
When I was growing up in the Peace country in the 1970s, old-timers used to say spring and fall last 10 minutes up there. It happened again this spring, with a hot wind sweeping across the prairies to bring an abrupt end to winter. A rash of dry grass fires spread into at least one significant forest fire north of Fort St. John. Many B.C. residents don’t appreciate that the northeast corner is on the other side of the Rockies. It’s a different place economically, geologically and climatically. You see sudden chinooks in winter, like the one that confused actor and climate alarmist Leonardo DiCaprio in Alberta. You see snowfalls in August, dry spells, and temperatures plunging to –50. Premier Christy Clark happened to be in Fort St. John to speak at a rally calling for the federal government to approve liquefied natural gas export projects, soon after the fires broke out. She immediately claimed this as proof that forest fire seasons are starting earlier every year, a human-caused disaster that could be eased by selling gas to China to replace coal.

attributes this to human-generated carbon dioxide, the only factor the UN climate bureaucracy recognizes. And here lies a key problem for the global warming industry. More than 90 per cent of the greenhouse effect in the Earth’s atmosphere is from water vapour. Antarctic ice core analysis shows that over 400,000 years, increasing carbon dioxide has lagged centuries behind temperature increase. This suggests that rising temperatures lead to increased CO2, not the other way around. Conventional climate wisdom is that B.C. will see more total rainfall as temperatures warm. This is a matter of significance to BC Hydro, which recently released its latest power supply and demand forecast.

Musician beats all odds to enjoy success Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca
If a child psychiatrist had been asked to predict Garry Jespersen’s future, the prognosis might have included life on the street, years in prison, mental illness, even suicide. Having worked with adult prison inmates and also young offenders, I know that neglect and abuse in childhood is a potent recipe for failure, despair and anger. Garry’s life hasn’t followed this usual trajectory and I wanted to hear his story. Sitting at our kitchen table recently, he surprised Linda and me with a warm smile that seemed to say, “I welcome you into the inner recesses of my life.” Then, in response to my question he grew serious. “My mom walked away when I was three months,” he said. “Social services took responsibility for me and my siblings. At age one, I was placed in the home of a single woman who put me in the attic of her home. There was a bed and three potties. Until age four I was never allowed out of that attic. She came up in the morning to give me breakfast and in the evening she brought supper. I was terribly lonely. Often I cried. She would come up and slap me. She’d order me to be quiet and go to sleep.” Garry’s only connection with the world outside was a small window high in the wall of the attic. He never saw a dog or cat or a man. Also, he never played with other children. No social worker checked on him. “Not having people in my life, my speaking was limited,” he said. “When the Jespersens adopted me at age four, I didn’t know how to express my fears or desires. Everything was strange to me and I was scared.” The neglect had stunted Garry emotionally and he couldn’t grasp the Jespersen’s love and compassion for him. He was taught to do chores on the family farm. One day, at age 9, he got something wrong and his father reprimanded him. Garry didn’t have the emotional understanding to interpret his intent. Feeling rejected, he hitchhiked to another community and stayed away 10 days. “When my Dad saw me coming along the driveway,” he said, “he cried and hugged me.
Garry Jespersen spent the first four years of his life imprisoned in an attic and subject to abuse and neglect.
He was so glad I’d come back.” Inspite of the all-embracing love of the Jespersens, Garry continued to be an emotional cripple, a frequent condition of children and adults who have been abused. There was one positive in his life. Listening to his mother playing the piano, he became intrigued. His parents enrolled him in lessons with the Toronto Conservatory of Music and he discovered that he had talent. Garry persuaded his dad to buy him a Harley Davidson motorcycle for rounding up the cows and bringing them to the barn. “When I was 15,” he said, “I had another emotional meltdown and again ran away, this time riding the Harley. I joined a biker gang
and stayed away two years. When I returned, my family welcomed me with much hugging and crying.” A few years later he became a realtor and his earnings surprised him. “I was living with four guys. There was a lot of drinking. One night I dropped off my date and drove to the High Level Bridge in Edmonton. I had no sense of purpose in my life. The money wasn’t giving me satisfaction or meaning. I intended to jump.” A name began running through his mind repeatedly. “The name was Herbert Hiller. I remembered he was the pastor of the church my parents attended. I phoned him at 2 am. I was crying and I asked to see him right away. He agreed.”
Garry had a profound spiritual experience that night and once again returned home. “My Dad urged me not to go back to my job and friends. I told him I had debts to pay. He said give me a list and I’ll pay them. He also made arrangements for me to attend a Christian college.” The healing that began in the pastor’s home was not an instantaneous event. Undoubtedly, music has contributed to the transformation. In addition to the piano, he has picked up the saxophone and also sings. He and wife Vi now live in Kelowna and he does 40-50 performances a year. His warm smile, firm handshake and positive message of hope are a clear indication that miracles are still possible.
One parenting book certainly doesn’t fit all Like the fingerprints they are born with – each child is different. This is a surprise to many parents, who don’t unreasonably expect if they put the same ingredients in the same pot, and stir and simmer for equal amounts of time, they will dine – approximately – on the same bowl of chili. For whatever reason, it simply doesn’t work that way. This reality was cause for reflection in the homestead last week, as a significant birthday was celebrated. It was unfair to those who followed that the DeMeer’s first attempt at reproduction was so successful. Call it beginner’s luck. No child is perfect. However – comparatively and retrospectively speaking – this one was extremely easy to raise. It was the early 1990s, when western Moms and Dads were embracing the wisdom of that parenting philosophy known as Behavior Management. There were many books writ-
ten about practicing Behavior Management in the home. Barbara Coloraso was an especially influential author at the time. The basic idea is that young children should be treated like miniature adults. Above all they need to be given choices. Positive behavior is met with rewards, and negative behavior is discouraged with a series of escalating consequences. This worked like a charm for the DeMeer’s first born. It was as if she read Barbara Coloraso Coles Notes in-utero. Dressing in the morning, for example, was never an issue. Do you want to wear the orange t-shirt, or the pink-t-shirt? Pink, please. We can’t have a snack until your toys are all picked up. Okay, Mommy. Barbara Coloraso was a hero. Parenting was practically effortless – couldn’t imagine what others made such a fuss about – and we decided to do it again. At the risk of mastering understatement the second DeMeer fry
ANDREA DEMEER
old dog new tricks never read Barbara Coloraso. (He was, however, once swatted on the bottom with a copy of her bestselling tome, Kids Are Worth It.) None of the tried and true tricks that had served our little family so well for nearly four years seemed to work. Do you want to wear the blue t-shirt or the green t-shirt? Blue. No wait. Green. No, no. Blue. Green. Blue. Green. Blue. Red. We can’t have a snack until your toys are all picked up.
He picked them up and threw them in the hallway. Where’s my snack? Albert Einstein determined the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, while expecting different results. Accordingly we ramped up our efforts, tossing out more choices, bigger bribes and greater threats. Do you want to wear the blue t-shirt, or the green or the orange or the yellow or the brown? The clothes ended up in the hallway with the toys. Even the most simple daily tasks became battles. We were exhausted, guilty because we knew we were screwing up, and actually fearful of what the next years, to say nothing of the very next day, would bring. Another trip to the bookstore led us to One, Two Three Magic. This parenting manual promised that if your child is misbehaving you count aloud slowly to three and he disappears…er…he stops tipping cans of Campbell’s soup off the grocery store shelves. Suffice it to say when you start
counting to three and find yourself at 659 the plan is not working. A sympathetic preschool teacher eventually recommended a parenting class hosted by a local psychologist who declared that children... well...they are all different. To knock off Einstein again, you can’t parent a squirrel the same way you parent a fish, otherwise the squirrel drowns. She put the family back on track by proposing we try the exact opposite of everything we were doing. No choices. No negotiating. No rewards. Just plain and simple “do it because I said so” kind of toddler boot camp. It was very tough, and very worth it. In as much as the child in question eventually matured to be a kind and responsible adult who is a pleasure to spend time with, we consider it a success. It probably would make a great book, too.

Mother’s Day is the perfect day for a peace walk Dave Cursons For the Review
Americans and Canadians will meet again at the Green Space by Canada customs at the Osoyoos-Oroville Crossing this Mother’s Day. It’s the 33rd year the neighbours have meet to celebrate the cause of peace and justice worldwide. The event began in 1983 when Canadians constructed a paper mache cruise missile and delivered it to American friends at the border. It was a protest against the first strike weapon being tested at Cold Lake, Alberta. The Americans delivered it to Boeing in Seattle as a street action there. On every Mother’s Day since 1983 the neighbours meet to celebrate with presentations, music, dance and the renewal of acquaintances and friendships. Everyone is welcome to attend the Annual Mother’s Day Walk for Peace Americans walk from the Oroville Library at Noon. Canadians meet at the parking lot Haynes Point Provincial Park at noon. Celebrations happen from 2 to Submitted 4 p.m. on the lawns at the Highway 97 For the 33rd year, Americans and Canadians will meet at the Green Space by Canada customs at the Osoyoos-Oroville Crossing this boundary. Mother’s Day.
Concerns about liability forces closure of The Columns access
said premiums were far too high for them to pay on their own. “We can’t be insurance poor.” As the Clifton’s are not at the point of retiring, selling the property to the province to include in the park is “not on the radar.” Clifton didn’t say it wouldn’t be something to consider down the road but that at this time the land was needed. The property is used as premium grazing land for the families ranching operation. Several years ago access to another popular tourist destination Barcello Canyon was also closed due to liability issues.

and also in hopes that if something were to happen to someone the family wouldn’t be held liable. Clifton said those signs often get taken down by people and the family knows now that people can sue regardless of whether the signs are there or not. “These things drag on in court until they’re either thrown out or there is a settlement. If something like that happened to us we would go out of business. All they have to do is have it against you and you’re hooped,” he said. Clifton said the property is closed to all even those who would have in the past called ahead to ask permission. “Regretfully, it is closed period to everyone and if someone hikes in there and I catch them I’m going to have to ask them to leave,” he said. Since the decision was made to close access the family has received some negative feedback from locals as many didn’t realize the actual site of the columns was on private land. There’s been confusion over the issue for years because the province has a 57-hectares provincial park nearby named The Keremeos Columns Provincial Park. The province’s parks website does clearly state the site of the columns is not in the park but the park boasts a view of them. The BC Parks website even states “Be aware that trail access is across private property, so please be respectful of the privilege.”

The columns can be seen from the Keremeos Columns Provincial Park which can be accessed from the other side of the mountain from Clifton’s ranch.
It’s unclear why there’s a provincial park nearby but it does not include the actual site of the columns. It’s been rumoured that the site was drawn up from a map first before someone actually went out to survey it back in the late 1800s or early 1900s. “I think everyone didn’t understand it was private. It’s in the middle of our property. It’s pretty cut and dry. It’s not even a close call.” Clifton said the family considered taking out insurance but

Mac Watson, president of the Keremeos Elks said the community garage sale went well. Numbers were a bit down in the morning but he chalked that up to the wind. “It’s different than last year when everyone seemed to come all at once. They’re trickling in this morning but I think it’s because it’s so windy. But all-in-all it seems to have gone well. We’re getting great crowds, the tables were all rented and the sun is out,” he said. The garage sale acts as the kick-off for the Elks events season with the Elks Rodeo over the May long weekend being the next large event. “We’re headed into a busy time,” he said with a laugh.

Flowers a traditional gift for Mother’s Day Mother’s Day is an annual holiday that honors motherhood and provides an opportunity for men, women and children to show their mothers how much they appreciate them. The tradition of Mother’s Day in North America dates back more than a century to 1908, when West Virginia native Anna Jarvis held a memorial service to honor her mother, who had passed away three years earlier, and all mothers in Grafton, West Virginia. Mother’s Day would ultimately become a national holiday in 1914, thanks in large part to Jarvis’ campaigning. As Jarvis, who never married and never had children of her own, grew old, she criticized Mother’s Day as overly commercial, even trying to have it removed from the calendar. Those efforts failed, and Mother’s Day remains popular now, more than 100 years after the idea for it was conceived. While Mother’s Day traditions have changed since Jarvis first proposed the holiday, many people feel it’s customary to give mothers gifts on Mother’s Day, when moms take the day off from chores and relax with their families. Flowers make for popular Mother’s Day gifts, and well-wishers who want to give the special women in their lives flowers this year can consider a host of varieties. Carnations Carnations are popular Mother’s Day flowers, perhaps because they are available in a number of colors. That means it’s highly likely sons, daughters, husbands and others gifting moms this Mother’s Day can find some carnations in Mom’s favorite color. Ask your florist about what each carnation color symbolizes, as each has its own unique meaning. Pink carnations, for example, are believed to symbolize a mother’s love. Roses Few mothers can resist roses, making them one of the more popular flowers come Mother’s Day. Roses are symbolic of love and make the perfect floral gift for mothers who like traditional flowers. If you want to spice things up, order a bouquet made up of roses of various colors. Daffodils Yellow is synonymous with spring, and daffodils can

Consider hiring a sitter for Mother’s Day dining
It’s wise to plan for Mother’s Day dining – one of the busiest restaurant days of the year.
Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and this special holiday serves to honor all those women who devote so much time and effort to their families. While gifts and other trinkets are certainly part of the celebration, a vast majority of children opt to treat Mom to a night out on the town come Mother’s Day. Not only does this give mom a night off from cooking, but also it presents an opportunity to get dressed up and spend time together as a family. A vast number of families travel to their favorite restaurants for Mother’s Day meals. Mother’s Day is one of the busiest holidays of the year for restaurants. The National Retail Federation says 54.8 percent of Americans treat their mothers to a special meal out on Mother’s Day. Billions of dollars are generated by people eating out with their mothers. With large crowds to be expected, diners can follow a few tips when treating Mom to a meal. * Book early ... very early. To guarantee a reservation at any restaurant, namely your favorite restaurant, you will need to make a reservation well in advance of Mother’s Day. It’s never too early to put
your name on the reservation list. Don’t forget Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 8, 2016. * Expect to wait. Even with a reservation, you’re bound to spend some time waiting at the restaurant. Other families may be lingering at their tables, as no one wants to rush Mom out of the door. Plan accordingly for a potentially long wait time. This means having a snack before you leave. Don’t arrive famished, as no one wants the dining party to be hungry and cranky, which is not a good way to celebrate Mom. Have plenty of snacks and drinks on hand for young children, as well as activities to keep them entertained. * Consider dining out a day before or after. Restaurants are generally packed on Mother’s Day, and as a result kitchen and wait staffs might be overtaxed. What’s more, diners might be relegated to a special or abbreviated menu. If you want a more relaxed setting and the ability to order whatever you desire, it may be a better idea to celebrate Mother’s Day in advance. Then have Mom enjoy a relaxing day at home on her special day. * Take-out is an option. Families can
treat Mom to a dinner out, without really having to go out. Many restaurants offer Special at takeout service, so you will not be limited to pizza or Chinese. Even chain restaurants have curbside service, so if Mom is in the mood for a burger or something more elaborate, she’ll have that option. * Expect an included gratuity. Veggie Shami Kebab Restaurants often include a gratuity in the bill when servicing larger parties, such as Lasooni (garlic) Chicken Tikka those that might be celebrating Mother’s Butter Chicken • Beef Curry Day. The standard gratuity rate is 18 perPaneer Lababdar • Dal Tadka cent, but you may want to go above and Dum & Aloo Banarasi beyond if you feel the service is exemplary.

Community paramedic program coming to Keremeos Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government is expanding its community paramedic program from six to 73 communities, to stabilize their employment in rural areas by extending their hours and their duties. Those duties will include visits to nursing homes and private homes, replacing on-call rural paramedic positions with full-time or half-time jobs in places that may see only one or two emergency calls in a week. Health Minister Terry Lake said last week there are already jobs posted for communities in the Northern Health region, after a successful pilot project in six communities. Recruiting will begin in the Interior Health region in early 2017 and in the Vancouver Island and Vancouver Coastal regions by spring 2017. “While you’re not on call-outs, you can go into a nursing home and talk with patients,” Lake said of the new paramedic roles. “You may be doing CPR training, you may be doing chronic disease management in people’s homes.” Experience in other provinces has shown that community para-
medics can reduce emergency room visits and keep chronic patients in their homes longer, Lake said. Bronwyn Barter, president of CUPE local 873 representing 3,900 ambulance paramedics, said the union and local politicians have been advocating for the approach since 2013. It allows paramedics to make a living in smaller communities. Rhiannon Davis works as a paramedic in Tofino, one of the six pilot communities. She said the new role allows her to develop relationships with people in the area and understand their needs, preventing rather than waiting for emergencies. Pilot programs are underway in Tofino, Ucluelet, Port Hardy and Cortes Island in the Island Health region, Fort St. James, Hazelton and Chetwynd in Northern Health and Creston and Princeton in the Interior Health region. Communities to receive the service over the next year: • Interior Health region: Alexis Creek, Anahim Lake, Blue River, Clearwater, Clinton, Creston, Edgewood, Elkford, Field, Fruitvale, Gold Bridge, Golden,

Vitamin C has many functions in the human body
Vitamin C has many functions in the human body. It is important to note that humans are one of the few species incapable of manufacturing vitamin C internally, and thus, are reliant on food sources of vitamin C for survival. This nutrient plays a major role in the manufacture and defense of our connective tissue, the elaborate matrix that holds the body together. It is a primary ingredient in collagen, a glue-like substance that binds cells together to form tissues. Vitamin C stimulates the immune system to fight off foreign invaders and tumor cells. Vitamin C is vital for heart and circulatory health by facilitating fat metabolism, protecting vessels from free radical damage, and strengthening blood vessel walls. Vitamin C maintains healthy bones, teeth, gums, tissues. It aids in wound healing. Vitamin C combats inflammation and pain. It behaves like a “natural aspirin”. At high doses only reached by intravenous injection, Vitamin C has anti-cancer effects. It has been shown to increase survival times in cancer patients, decrease the amount of radiation required, enhance the effect of chemotherapy, protect from the damage of radiation and chemotherapy, inhibit the growth of some cancers, and reverse some abnormal cell lines back to normal. Up to 75 grams can be infused intravenously over a period of 2-3hours, 2-3 times weekly. Vitamin C is a potent detoxifier of toxins such as pesticides, alcohol, nicotine, aluminum, cadmium, nickel, lead, fluoride, PCB’s, etc. It not only neutralizes and removes these toxins from the body, but it protects our healthy cells from being damaged by these toxins. Vitamin C is a potent anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-parasitic agent. Oral vitamin C helps protect the body from developing infections, and high-dose intravenous vitamin C is an effective method of destroying and removing pathogenic microbes. Vitamin C therapy both orally and intravenously has been used successfully by trained doctors for many years and is backed by volumes of research. It has proven itself to be safe and effective for a number of toxic, infective, and cancerous conditions.

We will be happy to advise you about their safe disposal. If you are a young woman in your 20s, now is the time to start thinking about preventing osteoporosis later in life. By including adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D in your daily diet, doing weight-bearing exercises daily, drinking alcohol moderately and not smoking, you will prevent the bone loss that plagues many postmenopausal women. It’s an ounce of prevention that works! To help caregivers help you in a serious medical condition, look into a MedicAlert bracelet or pendant. MedicAlert is the largest, member-based charity in Canada with more than 1 million members. Your bracelet or pendant is engraved with your medical information and linked to the MedicAlert 24-hour emergency hotline. Caregivers can call for help if you are unable to speak for yourself.

SUDOKU
Fun By The Numbers Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!
Level: Intermediate
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
fOR ThE fIRST wEEk Of MAy ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Things seem to be in high gear this week, Aries. Others around you are just as boisterous, and it may even seem manic. Exercise a little extra patience to get through. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you have been hiding something and it’s time you let your feelings out in the open this week. Pay attention to how others react to the news. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 If you crave adventure, Gemini, then it could be time to host a party or see if friends want to go out on the town. Staying home mulling over all of the options will get you nowhere. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 This week’s contradictory cosmic energy will not help you when making decisions, Cancer. It is entirely up to you and your gut instincts to make the right decisions. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, do not ignore the inner voice that is trying to tell you to take life more seriously. It can’t be all fun and games. Buckle down at work and set a plan into action. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Circumstances beyond your control will make work a little more stressful than you had anticipated, Virgo. Bide your time and soon the week will be over. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, no matter how hard you try to get yourself heard, others just aren’t ready to listen. Perhaps you have to try a new approach to making your voice heard? SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may find yourself in trouble this week because you keep on starting new things without finishing others. Pretty soon you will have a list of unfinished business. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Restlessness can get the better of you this week, Sagittarius. Just don’t jet off on some spur-of-the-moment trip to try to channel your energy. You have things to handle first. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Finding yourself in the middle of a sticky situation has you trying to discover a solution to a complicated problem, Capricorn. You might need to distance yourself for a little while. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 A disagreement with a friend or family member could turn your schedule upside down for a little bit, Aquarius. You’ll get back on track soon enough and resolve your issues. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, getting your finances in order will take more than balancing your checkbook. It might be time to make some cuts and follow a budget.

Young artist lays down roots with first show at Tree to Me Dale Boyd Black Press
Kehler Mackenzie Smith has been an artist for as long as he can remember. The 12-year-old Penticton artist started selling his work at the Penticton markets at the age of eight. His first public gallery takes place April 30 at Tree To Me’s spring art opening in Keremeos. A piece of Mackenzie Smith’s plein air work caught the eye of the owner of Tree To Me by chance while it was getting framed at the Tumbleweed Art Gallery in Penticton. “It was about halfway through the framing and she saw it sitting on the table and said ‘I want this piece in my show.’ It was really cool I was blown away,” Smith said. “It’s crazy, I can’t even believe it.” He prefers creating highlydetailed pen and ink drawings, though he has tried a few watercolours and paintings as well as trying his hand at encaustic painting, done with heated beeswax. “(Art) helps me focus and it helps me calm down and relax, it’s a soothing thing to do,” Smith said. Most of his illustrations are on a smaller scale, about the size of a postcard, mainly due to a sketchbook he received as a Christmas gift a few years ago from his moth-

er, which he still draws in today. He hopes to start making larger-scale drawings in the future. Smith also helped paint a mural with the help of Naramata artist Johann Wessels, who helped Smith turn one of his postcard-sized drawings into an eight foot by eight foot mural as part of the Penticton Art Gallery mentorship program.
While he enjoys art, he hopes to grow up to be an astrophysicist. “It’s cool because it’s like finding new planets, I’ve always been interested in that. Earth is such a rare planet that’s habitable, it would be cool to find something else just like it,” Smith said. Aside from his interest in art and the stars, Smith is also a well-
rounded athlete playing both soccer and rugby. He’s excited to interact with people and talk about his art. It’s his first gallery display, but not the first time he has sold his art face-toface. For the past few years Smith has sold his art at the Farmer’s Market as well. “I think it’s cool to tell people
