Scouts adventure returning to Keremeos

Members of the Keremeos Community Living Day Program were proudly oper-ating their new hot dog cart at Memorial Park on Friday, September 12.

The cart will be operated jointly by the day program and Orchard Haven. Members of the day program will use the cart to hone their employment skills while Orchard Haven will use the unit for fund raising.

The cart and its operators are all certi-� ed by Interior Health, said day program manager Kelly McKay. An operating schedule is not yet in place, but tentative plans are for the day program to operate out of the park two days per week.

Members of the Keremeos Community Living Day Program learned some employment skills on Friday, September 12. The group began selling hot dogs from their new mobile cart in Memorial Park.From left to right: Carol Blackmore, Chris Page, Christy Quaedvlieg,(viilage staff customer) Iras Folden, Suzie Ritlop and Kelly McKay. In front is Ashleigh Cummings and Leona Foster.

Rick Ruth-erford and Sara Dallas wanted their children to experience fun and adventure filled program so they recently contacted Scouts C a n a d a a n d asked, “Why is there no scouting in Keremeos?”

T h e y l i ke d the re sponse, “Would you like to start a scout group?” So with help from Will Schulz, South Okanagan Area

Commissioner (lead volunteer), and many others, they began the process for re-es-tablishing scout-ing programs in Keremeos.

Rick is anx-i o u s t o t a ke Scouts Canada training and be a volunteer. He draws on h i s experience sup-porting five day care centers for a number of years. He is an avid camper and as a teenager enjoyed army cadets and went on to serve in the army re-

serve. He is cur-rently in school taking his Early Childhood Edu-cator course. His two sons, Daxton and Tiber, ages nine and seven are of Cub Scout age.

Former Kere-meos scouting volunteer, Lillian Kyle had this to say about previ-ous adventures Keremeos scout-ing children and youth have expe-rienced in years past.

“In the years my family was involved we did

winter camps and all season camp-ing. When we had strong par-ent and commu-nity support we went to Alberta to the Tyrell mu-seum and slept under the dino-saurs. The chil-dren slept at sci-ence world and the planetarium. We travelled to Grand Coulee dam and then dug for fossils. We hiked, swam, built camp fires and survival shel-ters; made many crafts, parades, went to the senior

center and sang Christmas carols for them, made new friends, and had lots of fun.”

Fun and Ad-venture are big p a r t s o f t h e scouting expe-rience and the Keremeos com-munity will see this � rst hand at the Similkameen Sizz le Pepper Festival.

Rick and Sara will be on hand throughout the d a y h e l p i n g staff the Scouts Adventure Log Bridge this Sat-urday at the fes-

tival, so children and youth can experience scout-ing fun and ad-venture for free. S o m e y o u n g people from the Scouts Canada 1st Summerland Venturer com-pany (youth ages 14 to 17 ) have volunteered to help build the bridge and assist children at this activity center.

A Parent in-formation meet-ing hosted by Rick and Sara will take place Tuesday, 23 Sept at Victory Hall

starting at 6:30 p.m. There will be a craft activ-ity so children a r e w e l c o m e and a Scouts Canada repre-sentative will an-swer questions and describe the fun, adventure, and leadership opportun i t i e s for children and youth participat-ing in scouting programs.

The Keremeos reservoir is complete, and commis-sioning took place September 15.

Keremeos Irrigation District Office Manager Cheryl Halla said Friday, September 12 there had been some unforeseen delays from both the general contractor and the electrical contractor, but it was anticipated that the reservoir will be in use within the next few days. “The overall project is on budget and as the ir-rigation district had carefully budgeted for the project,

irrigation taxes are not expected to rise because of the project,” she added.

Keremeos Chief Administrative Officer Laurie Tay-lor reported issues with the reservoir’s fibre optics cable was the cause of recent delays, noting also that earlier delays were caused when an excavator backfilling the reservoir broke down on site.

Taylor said the $300,000 grant money for the project had been received recently by the village.

Part of the mandate of the Similkameen Recreation Commission is to help in the development of recreation in our area. This is done by awarding recreation devel-opment grants to assist various groups in the establish-ment of physical activities, enhancing qualifications of coaches or using the funds to leverage more grants.

The commission has awarded two grants for 2014 to

the Similkameen swim club and the Kobau Park Rec-reation Committee. The swim club grant was awarded to purchase a lap top computer which is necessary for club administration, swim meet entries and to fund coaching certification. Kobau Park’s grant was to help install a Frisbee golf course.

Both grants will add to recreational activities for many people in our area.

The Cawston Players will get their Christmas show underway with a first production meeting and script review at the Cawston Hall at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Septem-ber 23.

Actors, musicians, lighting and sound, stage crew, set design, hospitality, publicity and many other talents go

to work over a six to eight week rehearsal period.The production will happen over the weekends of

either December 6, 7, 8 or December 13, 14, 15.Anyone interested, with or without experience, is

welcome to call 250-499-5417 or 250-499-5616 with inquiries.

The nearest location to Keremeos for these public hearings is Penticton. A public hearing will be held at the Days Inn and Conference Centre, 152 Riverside Drive, on Wednesday, October 8.

Views, submissions and presentations may also be made through an online submission form on the com-mission website (www.bc-ebc.ca), by email to [email protected] or by mail to PO Box 9275 Stn Prov Govt, Vic-toria, BC, V8W 9J6. All submissions must be received by the commission by Sunday, November 16, 2014.

Following the publication of the Preliminary Re-port, British Columbians will have the opportunity to provide input and views on the proposed provincial electoral district areas, boundaries, and names.

B.C.’s striking teachers are expected to vote Thursday, Sept.18 on a tentative settlement with the provincial gov-ernment that could see Lower Similkameen public schools open by Monday, September 22.

Mediator Vince Ready announced the agreement early Tuesday morning, after five days of talks at a Richmond

hotel. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the province’s negotiators agreed to withhold details until they have a final document to present, he said.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender has said a plan will be developed to make up missed instructional days, which could involve rescheduling Christmas and spring break.

EditorialCandidates need to do their research

Word is, even at this relatively early date, that up to seven new candidates may throw their hats into the ring for council and mayor positions this year, not including the incumbents who are running again.

That would be a positive step for democracy in Keremeos - but there could also be pitfalls accom-panying that many candidates vying for seats on council.

A few of the candidates we have spoken with ap-pear to have identified one or two issues as worthy causes to run for.

Unfortunately, one or two issues do not a coun-cil make.

We hope these new candidates make themselves aware of the duties and responsibilities of council, and prepare themselves for the whole job.

Keremeos also has its “hot button” issues - the transient farmworker and downtown improvement issues are two examples.

Like a prospector mining a creek bed that has been worked repeatedly over the years, these new candidates get involved in the political scene in the hope they will be the ones to uncover the “nugget” that provides a solution to one of these perennial issues.

Similarily, the creek that has been mined over and over again and these long-running issues have a tendency to glean fewer new “nuggets” as the years go by. It’s political territory that has been throughly worked over from an intellectual standpoint.

However, in many cases, insufficient research by these new candidates results in the public being subjected to a rehashing of the same old failed ideas that have been bandied about the town forever - a waste of time that really does nothing to advance the political process.

The candidates that come forward during this election need to prepare themselves accordingly, ap-propriately armed with a thorough understanding of the issues. It will make them better candidates, even if they don’t have all the solutions, because they won’t be wasting the public’s valuable time.

The impact of the cur-rent education stalemate has been widely felt in all of our communities. Our staff and educational partners are dedicated to quality educa-tion for all students and the current situation is deeply concerning and frustrating for everyone.

We know that our par-ents are anxious for their children to return to school, whether it is for their first day in kindergarten or for their final year of high school. We as your elected trustees want an end to this stalemate and our schools to be back in ses-sion without further delay.

Members of our com-munities have asked us about our role in this dispute. Your trustees have written numer-ous letters to the ministry of Education as well as to our local MLA to ask for a negotiated settlement to be reached between the BCTF and the BCPSEA. We have urged the ministry to increase per student fund-

ing to keep up with infla-tion and have complained about downloaded costs by government to school districts. We have shared our concerns-regarding stable and sustainable funding at meetings with both our MLA and the ministry. We want to ensure you that we will continue to advocate on behalf of our students for adequate funding for a qual-ity education for students in our district. Our board has also formally endorsed the BC School Trustees As-sociation’s “Back to School Action Plan” and has asked both parties to implement the recommendations with-in that plan. The plan can be found on the BCSTA website at www.bcsta.org. It asks both parties to return to the bargaining table and:

• to work towards a freely negotiated settlement that both parties can support and which falls within the economic mandate set by the provincial government and makes improvements to class size and composi-tion; and,

• that any savings result-ing from the strike and lock-

out stay within the public school system to benefit students.

Our board believes that our teachers deserve a fair wage increase and that learning conditions for our students in the classroom need to be addressed at the bargaining table. We want flexibility on class size and composition and improved classroom conditions in our district to meet the needs of all students.

We know that the issues are complex and that it is not just about money; but we do need an agree-ment that meets the needs of students and provides long-term stability for public education. We want both the government and the BCTF to be flexible and to make moves so that this dispute can be settled.

We know that the strike has caused a lot of uncer-tainty and disruption to student learning but we are encouraged by an up-date from the ministry that was sent to superintendents which states “The ministry is monitoring the labour situation closely and will

work with school districts on a strategy to reduce the impact on students once school resumes. The minis-try is currently developing options on how students can complete the courses they need to advance to the next grade level or post-secondary programs, despite the instructional days lost due to t he strike.”

We urge concerned parents and community members to communicate their concerns directly to the negotiating parties and to check our school district website at www.sd53.bc.ca for the latest updates to the current situation as well as links to additional informa-tion.

Please feel free to con-tact your trustees with your concerns and questions. If you have specific questions regarding your child, please contact your local principal during normal school hours.

We would like to thank everyone in our communi-ties for their ongoing pa-tience and understanding and we hope that there will be a resolution to the current labour situation soon.

School board explains role during strike

The Lower Similkameen Indian Band’s new multi -purpose facility is nearing completion.

The 29,000 square foot, state of the art building, located near the band school approximately six kilometres south of Cawston, will house the band’s administrative, health and fitness facilities. Under construction since August of 2013, the seven mil-lion dollar building is being partially funded by Health Canada, to the amount of 2.78 million dollars.

“The outside of the building is almost complete,” said Band Ad-ministrative Assistant Jade Jager. She pointed out the facade’s stylized front entrance, supported by 10 metal poles, built to represent a Syilx traditional meeting place.

The facility will house the band’s complete administrative and health care departments. It will also house recreational faciltities in the form of a large gymnasium and weight room.

The health care facilities are lo-cated on the lower floor, and will include traditional healing rooms, two physical examination rooms, a bathing room and two nursing prac-tioner’s offices.

“Our focus will be on wellness and prevention,” said Jager, “many band members will find these facilities more comfortable and accessible.”

The administrative offices occupy most of the building’s second floor. Offices of the chief and council will also be relocated to the new facility.

The full size gymnasium at the site means the band will now be able to host sports tournaments and practic-es, which Jager said will be economic

generators for the whole community. (The LSIB already has a number of skilled athletes, as was witnessed by their recent second place finish at the North American Indigenous Games held in this summer in Regina). The new gymnasium will provide new op-portunities for band athletes to pursue excellence in their sport.

Members of the band were hired during the construction phase by Tri City of Kamloops, general contrac-tors for the site, some of whom have moved on to further training and jobs with other companies. Jager expects that coincident with the band’s move to the new facility, increasing eco-nomic development within the band will mean job growth in administra-tion for the band as well.

The building is scheduled for completion in November.

Keremeos resident Stan Bubar lost his drivers license recently, and he’s protesting a system he says hasn’t explained to his satisfaction the rea-sons why.

“They’ve been doing this to me for a year,” he said.

I’m a good driver. I’ve only re-ceived two tickets - one that I got last year for driving too slow. I took that one to court and beat it.

“I think that’s why they are taking my license away.”

Bubar, who is 84 years old, has been driving for 68 years. His doc-tor referred him to the Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles in April for cognitive testing through what is known as a DriveABLE evalu-ation, which consisted of an in-office session and a physical drivers test, at which Bubar asked whether he was going to pass or not. He was told “not likely.”

“I believe in the system - if you can’t see, and can’t walk, well you shouldn’t be driving,” he said.

“I can’t tell why they pulled it - it looks to me like they think I’m soft in the head,” he answered when asked what reason was given for revoking

his license. Bubar is angry at his doc-tor for insisting he take the tests. He claims he went back to the doctor to see if there was any improvement in his condition, saying, “He didn’t have the nerve to tell me I was soft in the head.”

I know some people in town who have been tested,” Bubar said, “and they passed.

“I didn’t and I don’t know why.”Bubar was referred to DriveABLE,

an assessment used by RoadSafety BC to help determine if drivers with a suspected cognitive impairment are safe to continue driving.

DriveABLE is a research‐based, scientific assessment tool which is used across North America to mea-sure how well drivers remember, rea-son, and react – functions considered essential for safe driving.

The assessment is not given to drivers related to age alone. Cogni-tive imparement can occur in drivers of any age.

“It is imperative that we all do our part to reduce motor vehicle fatalities and serious injuries on B.C. roads. This means that citizens of all ages need to be conscientious about their medical fitness to drive. Age is not indicative of driver behavior or competence; however, the presence of a medical condition, or certain medications, can significantly affect an individual’s safe driving ability.

“Under the Motor Vehicle Act, my office is responsible for determining an individual’s fitness to drive, for the safety of both the driver and the pub-lic. We know that health problems

tend to manifest themselves, or be-come more prevalent as we age which is why, beginning at age 80 and every two years thereafter, drivers must be assessed by their doctor and submit a medical report to RoadSafetyBC,” said Sam MacLeod, Superintendent of Motor Vehicles.

Drivers are most often referred to the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles by their physician (89 per cent of the time) and other times by a police of-ficer or family member.

It was recognized in 2012 that seniors in particular may feel anxious about being assessed, so the Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles worked with the Counsel of Senior Citizens’ Organizations to enhance the DriveABLE program and include more supports for seniors. More time is now given to complete an in-office assessment, and people may bring a companion who can meet the as-sessor, observe and provide support during the practice time, and ask questions.

A detailed guide to the Drive-ABLE cognitive assessment process is available online: http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/osmv/shareddocs/infoguide-driveable.pdf

DriveABLE is a global leader in evidence-based assessment technol-ogy for the fair and accurate assess-ment of cognitively at-risk drivers. The tool exists in two forms: DCAT - The DriveABLE Cognitive Assess-ment Tool; an in-office evaluation, and DORE - The DriveABLE On-

To the Editor: Re: Village council provides update,

Sept.4 Review:The mayor, council and CAO have been

pushed and prodded into action since spring to do something, but nothing has happened. A large door to door petition by Ted Douglas, a huge turnout at a council meeting at which I made proposals to rec-tify the problems, countless negative social media comments, many trips to the village by myself and many others speared by an upwelling of anger by the taxpayers didn’t launch them into action, but fear finally has.

I’ve been in constant contact with An-gelique Wood, Area “G” Director, on this subject since early July, trying to have the

RDOS make their land at the east end of Keremeos a park or a joint park with Keremeos. Out of this informal contact and Angelique’s motivation it was taken to the RDOS board and their new com-munity parks service bylaw was hatched. This council has had three years to do something and they have hedged, procras-tinated, waffled and deflected all remedy at every turn. It’s finally being addressed, not because of will, drive or foresight, but out of a real fear of losing their positions in the November polls. For evading the issue over the last three years, this has now become one of the major issues and it’s not going to fade away before November, panic interven-tion or not.

Martin Menzies, Keremeos

To the Editor:It’s an election year, alright - that is correct.

I read some time ago now in a Penticton pa-per that some residents there were preparing for the fall election by making inquiries to their elected officials regarding each council member’s individual accomplishments during this term. Seemed like a sensible idea - to be informed and prepared for an election.

So, I emailed Mayor Bauer here in Kere-meos (some months ago now) to get feedback on what he thought his accomplishments have been to date in the current term. Mayor Bauer’s response was clearly that he had no intention of responding to this question.

He also said he would no longer answer any furrther inquiries to him from me. Also, not only was he not prepared to answer my ques-tion, he initally seemed reluctant to forward my request for a response to this question to other council members.

A further email from me to Mayor Bauer seemed to change his mind and he indicated that he would forward my request to the other council members. Months have passed and I have had no response from a single council member on this question either nor have any

council members responded in the media that I recall.

Mr. Bauer has continually refused to an-swer questions I have put to him (some of which were asked at the request of my neigh-bours) and other council members now seem to have taken the same stance.

Makes me wonder. Are they listening? Are they responsive? Not in my experience. Also, I have learned that Mr. Bauer will be attending the UBCM (Union of B.C. Municipalities convention) in Whistler this month. I ques-tion the usefullnes in spending thousands to have him attend, given the timing prior to an election and the fact that there is no measur-able evidence that his participation in the past has resulted in concrete benefits to Keremeos, in my opinion. Further, there has been no written report filed in the past regarding his or any other council member’s attendance at this meeting nor has there been any clear program eminating from participation at this meeting.

I believe it is time for more accountability and more fiscal responsibility on council. Please be sure to get out and vote in the forth-coming election.

Gary Johnson, Keremeos

To the Editor: Here is an open letter to Elef Chris-

tensen:Dear Elef: Thank you for all the concrete things

you have accomplished for Area “G” in the past ten years.

Some of the things I can remember are:- Obtaining federal grant money to make

improvements to Olalla’s pump house.- Providing grant money to check for

water leaks in Olalla’s water systems and make repairs.

- Mosquito spraying in Olalla.- Reducing Olalla’s water tolls by $10.Fixing up the ball park and skating rink

in Hedley.- Helping, along with George Koene, to

put water in “Wanderer’s Rest” in Hedley.- Installing a playground and washrooms

in Woodley Park in Hedley. - Having Scott Road repaved in Hedley.- Facilitating installation of a cell tower

in Hedley.I do not have a clue what Angelique

Wood has accomplished as Area “G” Director that is of any significance, or that would seemingly justify all of her expenses, if anything.

We miss Elef. Robert B. Bishop, Keremeos

Similkameen Sizzlefest part of a busy weekend

Keremeos resident Ed Minshull was puz-zled -and a little frustrated - when he received his summer billing from Fortis BC for natural gas recently.

Minshull’s bill indicated a minimal amount of natural gas used - 58 cents worth, to be exact - topped by a delivery charge of $12.81.

According to David Wylie, Communica-tions spokesman for Fortis BC, Fortis gas bills are made up of two types of charges.

“The delivery charge is made up from the cost to deliver gas to our customers,” he said. “It includes the cost to build and maintain our pipeline to ensure we deliver natural gas safely to our customers.”

Wylie said the second charge, known as a “commodity charge” was the actual cost of natural gas used by the customer.

“We have no mark up on the price of natu-ral gas sold to our customers. We pay the same price as that paid by homeowners,” he said.

Wylie said the delivery charges reflect the cost Fortis incurs to keep the pipeline running reliably, as well as providing for the cost of emergency services.

Minshull’s bill reflected what would be close to a minimum monthly charge for natural gas service to his residence, which he would have paid regardless of the amount of natural gas used.

Fortis Gas announced September 15 natu-ral gas commodity rates for most customers will decrease starting October 1.

Tierney Kyle-Murphy is a new recruit, having joined the Keremeos and District Volun-teer Fire Department just under a year ago as a 16 year old student member.

He was motivated to join out of a desire to gain some valuable experience, get to know some more people in the village and help out in the com-munity.

“It’s been a bigger experience than what I expected,” he said

of his impressions so far, noting he has learned “loads” of new stuff.

Charley Cottrill has been on the de-partment for two years. The 17 year old is following in family footsteps.

“My brother and my dad both joined the fire department,” he said. Charley had been volunteering at the firefighter’s pancake breakfasts prior to joining as a member.

Cottrill is taking a temporary leave to attend school in Kelowna, but intends to come back in six months’ time. Cottrill said this past winter’s numerous structure fires proved to be an interesting and exciting time on the department for him.

Coby Arnott, 14, is one of Kere-

meos newest young recruits. He just started - he’s been on the department one and a half months.

Yet an-other fledg-ling recruit who has firefighter’s blood in the family, Coby said, “My brother and dad are firefighters - I

wanted to see what it was all about.”Coby thinks the experience has been “all good” so far.Téa Hartfield has been train-

ing as a student volunteer with Keremeos for nearly a year.

“My dad has been a fire-fighter for 17 years,” she said, “seeing how much he enjoys it made me want to join.”

Tèa also hoped to be able to help out in the community more when she joined.

“I have friends in high school who also suggested I join,” she said, adding she’s enjoying the experience so far

Bill Sparkes is a 23 year member of the Keremeos and

District Volunteer Fire Department. A member of the local search and rescue chapter prior to that, he signed on after a suggestion from Chief Jordy Boss-cha.

“I decided to join the KDVFD in the end, because I didn’t have time to do both,” Sparkes said of his initial decision to join.

He’s found the more than two decade experience rewarding, noting “a few bumps along the way.”

“It’s definitely a good thing,” he said.

Sparkes has spent many of his years on the department on the executive, including four years as secretary / trea-surer, 14 years as deputy chief and 2 1/2 years (to

present) as truck captain.

A number of instances come to mind when Sparkes recalls major incidents he’s attended over the years, including a fatal house fire on Third Avenue several years ago, and a small plane crash in the K View Crescent subdivi-sion a decade or so ago.

Tim Cottrill was a member of the Summer-

land department prior to moving to the Similkameen in 1996, accumulating six years

experience there. He lightheart-edly sees the volunteer effort as “a great way to play with expensive toys,” noting also the importance of firefighting as a volunteer service.

“Every call has its own importance,” he said, “we get a lot of calls in Keremeos. The cameraderie is really good here, everybody knows all the steps in an emergency. Nobody needs to be prompted into action.”

Fire department personnel a good mix of youth and experience

COUNTERTOP OPTIONS ABOUNDPART II

GraniteThe natural beauty of granite is what draws many homeowners to install this popular surface materi-al in their kitchens. Thanks to their unique shading and tone, granite countertops are never the same from one home to the next, and granite comple-ments many different cabinet colors. Granite also is resistant to heat, scarring and, when sealed prop-erly, stains. Granite is naturally porous, so if it is not sealed properly, it can harbor bacteria. Some granite countertops must be sealed annually, while some pretreated countertops can go as long as 15 years without a need for resealing. Unlike oth-er countertop surface materials, granite, which is among the most expensive countertop materials, does not come in a vast array of colors, so home-owners should expect to choose from just 20 or so color options.

Recycled glassHomeowners who want to give their kitchens a modern and eco-friendly feel may want to consider recycled glass countertops. Recycled glass counter-tops, the majority of which are now produced with 80 to 90 percent post-consumer glass, are made of pieces of glass that are held together with cement binders. Some might be concerned that counter-tops made of recycled glass are not very strong, but the cement binders are very hard, making the countertops durable, strong and unlikely to chip or crack. Recycled glass countertops come in various colors and are resistant to both heat and stains. Installation of recycled glass countertops can be tricky, as improper installation can lead to stress points that make the glass susceptible to cracking. As a result, the installation of recycled glass coun-tertops is best left to professionals with experience on such projects. Recycled glass countertops can be quite expensive as well.A homeowner’s choice of countertop surface mate-rial can go a long way toward defining the person-ality of his or her kitchen, so homeowners should consider their options before making a final deci-sion.

Evaluation; a behind the wheel assessment that tests drivers on their cognitive ability alone.

Bubar continues to be un-happy about the decision, say-ing he does nothing now but sit around his house all day. “How am I supposed to get around to other places?” he asked. “ I used to drive around here just to keep my sanity - now I don’t know if I can keep it.”

The timing of Bubar’s license cancellation was unfortunate, as the day he received notice of the cancellation, his wife died. Three days later his niece died.

He said he felt the action taken by DriveABLE was undemo-cratic.

“They said I might be a danger to others. How can they turn to you amd make you surrender

your license on the possibility you might be a danger?

“They should be cancelling everyone’s license because they might cause an accident. Since when?”

Bubar is concerned about the fact he has never seen anything in the paper about people losing their license through the Drive-ABLE assessment, feeling there were issues that needed to be il-luminated.

“As far as I can see, my only issue in life in your opinion is that I am old,” he wrote the Su-perintendent of Motor Vehicles, “I paid the doctor $75 just to have my license taken away, even though the medical says there is no danger of my driving, but you (the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles) have said that I might be a danger to others.”

Driver / continued from page 5

This has been a busy summer for most of us, with the regular summer crunch when we get all our visitors at the same time while farming, handling

tourism and ser-vice at a heavier load than the Si-milkameen “off ” season. I am privi-leged this year to

work in Cawston for George Hanson at Seven Stones Winery, where I have learned about wine making and toured many people through our caves where wine is cellared.

There have been a lot of issues to face our community this year and this report will recap the most recent and pressing. I am always happy to answer questions if you would like greater elaboration: [email protected] or 250-499-0503.

Grist Mill: There are ongoing struggles at the Grist Mill, a historic site located in Area “G” just outside the Keremeos village boundaries. The provincial govern-ment funds this site through the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations headed by Minister Steve Thomson. The province is working to de-volve its responsibilities and has recently launched an RFP process which seeks new operators and a business plan which would create a free-standing un-funded site in the years to come. If you care to weigh in with your feelings about the issue, please contact the Honourable Steve Thomson at the addresses here: [email protected] by email or P.O. BOX 9049, Stn Prov Govt, Victoria, BC, V8W 9E2. Telephone: 250 387-6240

Fortis Dam at Princeton: Fortis has an-nounced that the dam project is not finan-cially viable at this time based on results of project feasibility studies. The proposed 165 metre (541 foot) concrete facility was expected to have useable water storage and deliver between 45 to 65 megawatts of electrical capacity along with the associ-ated water management benefits.

Fortis Generation Similkameen LP may re-evaluate the viability of the project in the future based on customer demand

and market conditions, such as a rise in electrical prices.

Alternate Approval Process (AAP) for a Parks Service in Area “G”: In Area “G” we have three distinct communities: rural Keremeos, Olalla and Hedley with farms and ranches spreading down the highway. A number of issues have arisen over my term which cannot be addressed unless the RDOS creates a bylaw for Parks Service. Briefly:

• In Olalla, residents have asked for cre-ation of a public place to gather, so that they may come together and build their community.

• In rural Keremeos, we have issues of transients squatting between Crown Lands, Federal lands (along the river) and RDOS and Keremeos village boundaries. One approach may be to create a regional park which would give us jurisdiction and capacity to enforce bylaws. We could en-force “day use only” bylaws to deal with the campers. The issue of human waste compromising our water supply must be addressed and we need a regional strategy to do it.

• In Hedley, Woodlie Park is cur-rently functioning with liability insur-ance covered by the RDOS. A main-tenance person is hired yearly to mow the grass and clean t h e b a t h ro o m s. Without regular funding, this can-not continue.

An average home in this area can ex-pect to see a tax increase of $6.50 yearly to deal with these issues. If resi-dents do not feel these issues require attention, and do n o t w i s h t o s e e their taxes rise at all, they are encour-aged to submit their opposition during the AAP process before October 6, 4:30 p.m.

FREE STYLE MEDITATION - Successful Secrets to a Great Practice

Eastern and Western thought on meditation has been to try and find a quiet place within, away from all the mental chatter. For most people this is a challenging place to begin a meditation practice. I have found that “quiet mind” is a nice place to get to, but in the absence of thought there is no learning. It is through that part of self we call the mind (which encompasses your emotions too) that you will encounter your wisdom and wise counsel. My meditations used to consist of a frustrating half an hour of trying to push my thoughts and chatter away. I would try and fo-cus on anything to quite the incessant chatter. I tried focusing on my breath, staring at candles, mantras, chanting, toning, guided audiotapes and many other modalities. All worked for a certain amount of time before I was drawn back into the workings of my busy mind.One day during mediation I decided not to fight the flow any longer and simply listened to my inner dialogue. I tried to be a sa-cred witness to the conversation I heard within. I could identify an inner voice asking questions and another voice responding. I was quite surprised by this. I tried interacting and dialoguing with “the asker”. The asker was so shocked that I was even listening, let alone responding, that it shut right up and said nothing. I had achieved “quite mind” in an instant.Thus began my inner odyssey of knowing “the self ” through “FreeStyle” meditation.I describe “self ” as being comprised of the body, mind, emotions and spirit. This is a simplistic definition of a complex structure, but sitting quietly by yourself (without distractions) everyday and getting to know your self is the cheapest and most enlightening education you will ever have. The Latin word for education (educare) means to draw out or extract. Here in North America, education has become synonymous with “stuffing in” or “filling up” - with knowledge from an external source.Meditation is about education and learning from an internal source. The goal of meditation is to have the ability to draw out your own inner knowledge and wisdom. It is learning to recognize and accept all parts of self, and bring them into your everyday waking life. It is a well-known phase “that all answers lie within” and that “the microcosm contains the macrocosm”. By trying to push away and ignore your mental chatter (and therefore your feelings and inner wise voice too), you directly avoid encountering parts of your “self ”. These parts are necessary requirements for wholeness and for knowing “Your God”.Meditation has helped me expand my awareness one hundred fold and continues to do so. Without a doubt it has been pivotal in helping me heal my physical body - by learning to listen to my body’s needs in meditation. Remember all bodily parts have individual needs - because all past experiences (“positive or negative”) are stored energetically at a cellular level of the physical body. Therefore you can tap into the messages “trapped” in your physical body just by focusing on it (a body part) and listening. Meditation helped me practice hearing my inner wisdom and then applying it in my own life. It in-creased my self-confidence, sense of power and self esteem tremendously. Lastly, my daily practice of sitting quietly with myself has helped me learn patience and compassion for others and myself.Begin a five or ten minute mind-full meditation today. It is free, with no fees to pay and no tuition - you just show up. All answers are within you if you are willing to listen.

pH OF OUR BODIESOur bodies are amazing. The level of acidity in our blood is held quite constant at a pH of 7.35-7.45 no matter what we do. (Anything above 7 is alkaline.) The pH of our urine can change with our diet but the pH of our blood remains pretty well the same.

WASH YOUR HANDS, WASH YOUR HANDSWe are entering the autumn season soon and it’s a good time to remind everyone about hand-washing. It is the best way to prevent colds, flus and many other infectious diseases. Do it often throughout the day for at least 20 seconds per wash. This is especially important after blowing your nose, using the toilet, playing with pets or changing baby’s diaper.

SOCIAL NETWORKINGThe increase in social networking during the past few years has prompted research projects studying its addiction potential. The projects concluded that social media can be more addictive than tobacco. It takes up much of some people’s time and its seeming low cost just makes it that much more desirable.

HAIR LOSSWe are born with 100,000 hair follicles on our heads. Hair falls out and renews itself routinely throughout our lives. But, sometimes these hair follicles become stressed and hair starts to fall out and not grow back. Causes can be emotional or physical shock, hormonal (postpartum, stopping birth control pills), severe dieting and high fever among others. If you are concerned, check with your physician.Make our pharmacists part of your healthcare team. We hope to see you in our pharmacy soon.
