Keremeos Review, August 13, 2015

Tara BowieReview Staff

One person was left homeless after a grass fire quickly grew out of control destroying a residence, several outbuildings and heavy equipment just west of Keremeos Saturday morning.

Marty Marchand Ring had passed by the site of the fire early morning Saturday to pick up her grandchildren a few miles away. She was heading back that way just before 8:30 a.m. and saw the flames.

“There were people pulled over on the side of the road looking in and I thought, ‘Oh my God, has anyone went to see if Harold got out OK?,” she said.

She quickly drove up to Harold Bullington’s trailer to make sure he was out of the building.

Marchand Ring described Bullington as in his 50s and “quite frail.” He suffers from diabetes and other medical conditions.

“Thankfully his door was open. I got in and the dog was barking but seemed good tempered so I kept going and found Harold asleep. I woke him up. It must have been a horrible freight for him,” she said.

The pair quickly went outside and tried to put the fire out. Another man from the roadway had walked down and was trying to keep the

fire away from the trailer.Marchand Ring said she threw

the dog’s water bowl on the fire and then hooked up a garden hose.

“I had thought we might have stopped it from at least getting his house,” she said. “But an ember was burning away under the trailer. I feel so bad for him. He’s lost everything.”

Marchand Ring had to aban-don her attempts at putting out the fire as her grandchildren aged five and seven came running to tell her the grass fire flames were quickly approaching her vehicle.

She then went to her aunt’s house nearby and helped wet down the grass around her home in hopes the fire wouldn’t take her house as well.

A small fire crew made up of vol-

unteer firefighters from Keremeos, Hedley and Kaleden arrived on scene near Standing Rock on Lower Similkameen Indian Band land.

The crews worked for more than 12 hours along with a crew from BC Wildfires to put out the blaze.

“It was worse than what it looked like from the road,” Jordy Bosscha, Keremeos fire chief said.

Bosscha said the call came in

for a grass fire out of control about 8:30 a.m. Before the crew could get in the truck it was being called a structure fire.

Firefighters endured many chal-lenges during the 12-hour call out.

Crews were shorthanded as many volunteer fire fighters had to work or were out of town on vaca-tion. The group was unable to spare firefighters from fighting the blaze

to investigate ways to get water out of the river.

A pumper truck and a truck from Dutchies were used to haul water to the fire zone.

“We didn’t have enough mem-bers to get to the river to fit in a pump and pump water that way. We just couldn’t spare the people plus it

There was no insurance on the trailer that caught fire leaving a man homeless over the weekend so local residents are rallying together to raise funds and collect items.

“It’s just devastating. He’s left with nothing. I just feel like we need to do something to help him,” Marty Marchand Ring said.

Harold Bullington was left homeless and without any pos-sessions except the clothes on his back when a grass fire that got out of control destroyed the trailer he lived in west of Keremeos Saturday morning.

“He told me after he thought it might have been caused by an electrical cord he’d setup and run to his neighbour’s because she was cut off and needed hydro,” she said. “He tried to do something nice for someone down on their luck and he ended up with his home destroyed.”

Bullington is currently living in a local motel with arrangements setup by the Lower Similkameen

Indian Band. Marchand Ring said she went to

visit Bullington on Monday night and he was still wearing the same clothes from the day of the fire.

“I was surprised to find no one had given him any clothes. My husband went through his closet and picked out some things he’d never worn and that would fit him so he would have something. Some other people gave him some toilet-ries. We all need to pull together for him,” she said.

Bullington is in his 50s and suffers from diabetes and related complications.

Marchand Ring helped setup a bank account at Valley First so peo-ple can donate to help Bullington get back on his feet and buy the necessities.

She’s also started a GoFundMe campaign called Harold Bullington Fire Victim Fund at www.gofund-me.com/wg3hepe4.

Keremeos Storage has donated the use of a storage unit so items can be housed for Bullington when

he has a new residence. Marchand Ring said helping

with furnishing a new home is sec-ondary to his basic needs now.

“He’s lost everything so he has to start again. We want to collect

things in good condition that will help when he has a home again but right now he’s just living day to day,” she said.

Marchand Ring is hoping volun-teers and people with gently used

items will contact her. Her number is 250-499-2607.

A few fundraisers are in the works and the Review will post information on its Facebook page as it becomes available.

“We didn’t have enough members to get to the river to fit in a pump and pump water that way. We just couldn’t spare the people plus it was fairly overgrown,” he said.

A large propane tank situated between two of the burning structures was a cause of concern during the fire. Firefighters worked to keep the tank cool so it wouldn’t explode.

The highway was closed to traffic in both directions from shortly after the fire broke out until about 2:30 p.m.

Bosscha said some drivers understood

while others upset and frustrated with the delay of their Saturday plans tried to go through the ditch.

“We were short handed and didn’t have time to argue or spend time making sure they didn’t put themselves in harm’s way,” he said.

RCMP Cpl. Kathleen Thain said the cause of the fire is unknown at this time but it is not being deemed suspicious.

There was no lightening in the area at the time of the fire so it is deemed to be human caused.

Thain said an extension chord was hooked up between the two neighbouring

trailers but it is unknown whether that is what caused the fire.

Currently Bullington is being housed at a local motel.

A bank account has been setup for him at Valley First and Marchand Ring plans to help collect donated items from the com-munity.

She is currently looking for volun-teers and has secured a storage unit in Keremeos. Anyone looking to donate or volunteer can contact her at 250-499-2607.

A Go Fund Me campaign has also been setup under Bullington’s name by Marty Marchand Ring.

Police need help bagging culprits in alleged wine heist Review Staff

An aged wine heist is proving hard for RCMP to solve.

Currently there are no leads in the heist that occurred in the 100 block of Sumac Road in Cawston sometime between May 14 to 22.

“There was no physical evidence left on scene. I’m not sure about tire marks. It

appears the owners went away and some-body knew,” RCMP Cpl. Dave Tyreman said during a follow-up interview with the Review about the bizarre crime.

Allegedly somewhere between $450,000 to $750,000 of wine was stolen in the incident.

The culprits stole 7,000 three-litre bags of wine meaning each bag would cost in

excess of $65. “The owner supplies that retail cost,”

Tyreman said. Tyreman guessed at least one if not two

transport trucks would be needed to com-plete the heist.

No witnesses have come forward. The owner does have insurance.RCMP continue to investigate.

Review Staff A Keremeos area orchard provided an

escape route for a criminal alleged to have been involved in at least one Okanagan business breakin recently.

During the evening of Monday, Aug. 3 information about a suspicious vehicle near the intersection of 4th Street and Veterans Avenue was called into the Keremeos RCMP detachment.

The described vehicle was similar to the one provided in relation to a recent break in at Tickleberry’s Ice Cream Shop in Okanagan Falls.

A Keremeos RCMP member attended the scene and identified the possible sus-pect.

The suspect then pulled away at a low speed, which prompted the Keremeos offi-cer to follow.

The suspect drove into an orchard and then fled on foot.

The police service dog was used to try to locate the suspect, however it is thought he left on bicycle as one was reported sto-len hours later.

The RCMP has identified the suspect but is not releasing his name until an arrest warrant is issued.

The man is known to police.

VICTORIA – The first, and perhaps the only complete English-language debate in this long fed-eral election campaign has helped define the issues, and the non-issues.

I’m not going to try to tell you who “won” or “came out swinging,” because this is not a sporting event. If you’re paying attention in August, bless you, and you probably have a favourite already.

First, let’s deal with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s diabolical scheme to extend the length of the formal election period. This, according to nation-al pundits, is an extension of his evil plot to attract more financial supporters than the other parties, and spend the money. In other words, it’s a non-issue and any opponent who dwells on it looks like a whiner.

This is the first election in modern Canadian history to follow a four-year schedule. National pundits spent months telling us Harper was going to use a loophole in his own election law to call a spring vote before the economy tanked. Didn’t happen, and now the Conservatives are rightly under scrutiny about their economic management. Incumbent manipulation of election timing is over, and that’s good.

Scheduled elections by their nature create longer campaigns, as demonstrated in B.C. and the United States. So they should be conducted under formal campaign rules, which limit the noise of public sector unions and other special interests.

Another non-issue is the non-existent deficit and recession that supposedly grips Canada. On actual results, there is a slim surplus, and if – a big if – Saudi Arabia continues to depress world oil prices, there may be a modest deficit by next spring.

The Bank of Canada’s recent move to devalue the dollar has already produced a rebound in exports and tourism, which any government would appreciate. Have you tried to find parking at the mall lately?

Of particular interest to B.C. voters is the contest between NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Green Party leader Elizabeth

May. May used what may be her only national debate appearance to press Mulcair to oppose the TransMountain pipeline expansion project before hearings are complete.

Mindful of Adrian Dix’s disastrous 2013 deci-sion to do the same in B.C., Mulcair insisted he would wait for the federal review, even though he considers it to be inadequate.

This is, of course, all theatre. Based on their actions, the NDP, Green Party and Liberals are all opposed not just to oil pipelines but export gas pipe-lines as well. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau wants to

cancel capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investment that have been granted by B.C. and Ottawa, which could be a deal-breaker for LNG.

B.C. NDP leader John Horgan formalized his opposition to the TransMountain expansion last week, in a letter filed with the National Energy Board. But we’re expected to believe that Mulcair has a different position, for now.

Harper was forced to admit that his long effort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves office next year.

The debate also confirmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria. The Conservatives are for it, and the Liberals, NDP and Greens are against it.

Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal government. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011.

Sorting out federal election issues

Sun rises on need each day

It seems that everyday in this valley is a time of need for someone.

Over the weekend a devastating � re left one man homeless. He owns only the clothes on his back.

Although the man was provided shelter quickly he has been left with not much else except the kindness of strangers.

That’s the same sort of kindness he bestowed on his neighbour by allowing her to hook up an electrical cord to his home because she was down on her luck and couldn’t afford the bill.

The cord likely overheated in the long grass and sparked the � re although that can’t be 100 per cent proven.

Over the last few days several people have stepped up and provided the man with clothing and basic necessities, but we can do more.

We can always do more.His plight is not unlike several others

written about over the last calendar year.A woman’s baby was suddenly diagnosed

with Leukemia and sent for chemotherapy treatments in Vancouver early in 2015. The baby has just completed treatment and is still in hospital dealing with side effects and recovering. They’ve been away from home for most of this time dealing with the ups and downs of cancer treatment, constantly in need of hope.

There was a couple who made several poor life decisions and are faced with health problems and can’t afford their sur-mounting bills. They are in desperate need of time.

And of course there’s the hundreds of other stories we don’t hear about, includ-ing the story of the woman who’s only help came from the neighbour allowing her to hookup an electrical cord to his home when her hydro was cutoff.

Imagine how many � res we might stop before they start if we just take a moment to ask who is in need today and how can we help.

It isn’t always about money.Help can come from a smile, a ride, or a

coffee and chat with someone who is strug-gling. It can also come from organizing and volunteering at fundraisers or collecting donations.

And sometimes the most important help we can give someone is to remind them they won’t always be the one in need.

After reading Susan Delacourt’s “Shopping for Votes,” I want to ask Angelique Wood what insider information the party is giving her about voters in the Similkameen Valley. Wood is the NDP candidate running hard in the Central Okanagan Similkameen Nicola riding. She is also my neighbour, only two doors removed. It’s a question I hope to ask of the Liberal and Conservative candidates as well. Not having deep pockets, the Green Party doesn’t have the means to employ the expensive strategies and tactics described by Delacourt.

An award winning journalist with the Toronto Star, Delacourt provides a fascinat-ing, but also disquieting account of how polit-ical parties endeavour to secure our votes. Her information reinforced my one cardinal rule concerning how I vote. The rule is, “I will not give my heart to any political party.”

Tactics and strategies of political par-ties have changed radically since the days when my parents voted faithfully for W.A.C. Bennett and Social Credit. According to Delacourt, the three major parties at the fed-eral level now employ sociologists, statisti-cians, advertising experts, pollsters, and mass communication experts.

Like major corporations, they enthusiasti-cally embrace the practise of “data mining” and “micro targeting.” The major parties all have systemized data bases which assemble contact information. Door-to-door canvass-ers are instructed to watch for indications of what might be important to the people of a neighbourhood. Children’s toys, camp-ing equipment and golf clubs are exam-ples. Canvassers may also report political lawn signs, doors slammed, a willingness to engage in political discussion et cetera.

Possessing this information helps party strategists make decisions about where to devote time, or what issues to emphasize in a particular riding or neighbourhood. Delacourt notes that one party sent a Jewish woman a greeting card at the time of the Jewish New Year.

Graham Fraser in “Playing for Keeps,”

suggests political campaigning has become much like a corporate advertising campaign. Although politicians likely don’t consider it amusing, pollster Martin Goldfarb compared the selling of a candidate to selling cans of tomatoes.

Apparently the practises of data mining and micro targeting are just too power-ful to resist. After the 2008 election, the New Democratic Party hired the polling firm, Viewpoints Research. They wanted a demographic profile of people who might be swayed to the NDP with the right marketing effort. It would be interesting to know how early socialist leaders like J.S Woodsworth, Stanley Knowles and M.J. Coldwell would view such maneuvering.

One benefit of data mining for political parties, according to Jeffrey Stevens is that “the three leaders, properly briefed, are able to make stage managed public appearances without falling into the orchestra pit.” One

negative aspect, in Stevens view, is that “we learn nothing about which man would make the best P.M. or how he would conduct him-self in high office.”

Politicians have long had a reputation for telling voters what they want to hear. Now with data mining and micro targeting, they can craft their messages with laser like accu-racy to appeal to specific communities here in the Similkameen Valley. Unfortunately, too often the resulting promises come more from a thirst for power, than from a commit-ment to follow through.

Regarding political promises, Delacourt reminds us that before the 1974 election, Pierre Trudeau promised not to legislate wage and price controls. After the election he did impose price controls. Finance Minster John Turner added 10 cents and then another five cents to the price of gasoline. Delacourt goes on to say that in his 1995 budget, Jean Chretien cut health and social transfers to the

provinces, a move contrary to public wishes.Data mining tends to produce “designer

policies,” whose purpose is to attract specific groups, or to please the party’s core support-ers. Writing in the National Post, Attorney Edward Greenspan (1944-2014) and crimi-nologist Anthony Doob suggest that “crimi-nal justice policy is a product being shaped by the need to attract voters. Conservative criminal justice policy is developed not to serve public or societal needs, but to help market the Conservatives to specific con-stituencies.”

Although the current political strategies may unsettle us, I don’t feel they are a reason to stay home on voting day. Rather, they’re a reminder for Canadians to listen with discern-ment and then vote in droves.

It is important for politicians to understand we are alert and will be actively assessing their policies and decisions.

The Review Thursday, August 13, 2015 www.keremeosreview.com A 5

Some of the hardest working people in the newspaper industry are rarely seen in the front office.

They are not reporters, editors, sales peo-ple, designers or – gasp – even publishers.

They work in distribution. They insert flyers, they deliver papers to carriers or the post office. They are the people who ensure that all the hard work of others (see above) reaches the light of day.

At a weekly shopper in Brantford, Ontario many years ago, the warehouse manager rushed through the advertising department during one of my attempts at team motiva-tion.

The speech was along the lines of that well-known maxim attributed to former IBM CEO Thomas Watson: “Nothing happens until somebody sells something.” The man-ager pulled me aside later, put a finger one inch from my nose and said: “You say all you want about sellin’. Nothing really happens until somebody delivers something.”

It’s a fair point. Watson might have agreed if he had millions of PCs sitting abandoned on a dock.

Distribution is often hard labor that takes place in extreme conditions. During summer the temperature in a newspaper warehouse can reach well above one hundred degrees. A good warehouse manager knows to keep the fridge full of bottled water, and to make periodic runs to the grocery store for pop-sicles and ice cream. In winter months, with

bay doors constantly up and down, a warehouse can be so cold inserters can’t feel their own fingers.

My favorite inserter story is from a newspaper in Woodstock, which at one time employed approximately 30 full time inserters. One of the inserters was blind; legitimate, legally, sight-dog-and-white-cane blind. He was not the fastest inserter in the building to be sure. A top-notch inserter can handle 2,000 flyers an hour and paid by the piece earns more money in a year than some of those people in front office positions. (See above again.)

Adam managed about 200 flyers an hour so we paid him a salary. While he couldn’t see the differences between the 28 or so inserts he worked on for each flyer bundle, he could feel them. Given stacks of various fly-ers he would reach out and identify Canadian Tire, Shoppers Drug Mart, Home Hardware – any regular flyer – just with his fingertips.

From the standpoint of efficiency Adam was not a great hire, but he got and kept his job because he was just so darned impressive.

One of the toughest jobs for anyone man-aging newspaper distribution is hiring and keeping good drivers and carriers. These positions are typically high-turn over, and the pressure to fill routes is intense. Nothing

really happens until someone delivers something.

A publisher friend at a large free distribution paper used to get in his van every Wednesday and drive downtown to shel-ters and soup kitchens, offering cash to homeless people if they would climb aboard and crew some of the hundreds of open routes in the city.

Overworked distribution managers will fight hard to keep a carrier, or a driver, and do almost anything to avoid

having to make a replacement.I got a taste of just how far they will go at

a daily newspaper. A call came in reporting an impaired driver in the parking lot. A man was passed out over the steering wheel of his vehicle – the motor was running – at 11:30 in the morning.

Newspapers make such a sexy career. After investigating and removing the keys from the vehicle I called 911 just before a distribution rep came rushing in hollering “Stop! Don’t call the cops. That’s one of our drivers!”

All those undelivered newspapers in the backseat should have been a clue.

Fire him. It seemed like the obvious and only choice but the department man-ager practically had tears in his eyes at the thought of losing a driver who had otherwise

been dependable. “You don’t know he was impaired. You aren’t a doctor.”

Fortunately it does not take a doctor to diagnose “unconscious” and I have come across a few impaired people in my non-medical career.

These memories seem to warm me while reflecting on The Keremeos Review’s good fortune to employ Deb Lyon, a longtime area resident who is one of the best distribution workers I’ve had the pleasure to work with.

She cares that the papers get delivered on time. She goes extra miles – literally extra miles – to get papers to stores, taking more papers to dealers when they sell out, or sort-ing out customer complaints.

She is also a sweetheart, and a darned good freelance photographer.

Last Sunday afternoon she breezed into the office looking for a back copy of the paper. An acquaintance asked if he could get a particular edition of the newspaper and in her typical over-and-above fashion she said she would get it delivered.

Good customer service is one thing, but I told her she didn’t have to go that far. The customer could come in himself.

“Oh don’t worry,” she chirped. “I’ll make sure to get the $1.15.”

Some of the hardest working people in the newspaper industry are rarely seen in the front office.

Like most newspaper editions of its era, 100 years ago a letter from the frontlines and a variety of articles outlining the reality of war weaved through the pages of the Hedley Gazette.

In the week of August, 19, 1915 the letter writer took care to describe the work load put on front-line soldiers.

On one shift soldiers worked 18-hours a day keeping a constant eye on enemy line’s through the bottom reflector of a periscope.

On the night shift men were tasked with more grave and often more risky jobs of gathering ammu-nition, water, retrieving and tending to the wounded and burying the dead.

The letter told the tale of tragedy as the soldier helped to dig a com-munication trench.

“I was out on a working party some 12 or 13 days ago.... exposed to the German trenches 4 to 600 yards away and there were 6 of our fellows sniped there during the day’s work and they really never got wind of us there till late in the morning,” the letter sent from Stanley Horswill to his brother who resided in Hedley stated.

One could imagine copies of the Gazette would sit around cof-fee shops and on kitchen tables. Residents of the mining community would read through the latest edi-tion at their leisure and discuss the headlines with friends and family throughout the week.

Amazingly, despite that week’s detailed letter outlining the fragil-ity of life on the front lines and the

hellish conditions for those that survived it would be just five days after it was printed that 17 Hedley men would change the course of their lives forever and enlist.

Ultimately five of those men would pay the ultimate price and never come home to Hedley.

Researchers Andy English and Jennifer Douglass have spent the last several years delving into the lives of these men and the other Hedley soldiers from the First World War.

“When the war broke out a mil-lion men enlisted in the first week. But when the Hedley Boys enlist-ed it wasn’t a time where it was romantic to go off to war. By then they knew what they were getting into. Word had come back from the front lines about the harsh condi-tions,” English said.

A special commemorative weekend is planned August 22 to 23 to honour the 17 soldiers and the 100-year anniversary of the date they enlisted.

Close to 50 descendants of the soldiers from across the country have confirmed they will attend the weekend’s festivities.

“If you think about it these were 17 healthy young men who were going off to war all on the same day. That would be a huge impact to the community. This day would mark the day the course of their lives changed. There would be before I went to war and after,” English said.

The men represented a cross sec-tion of Hedley’s population holding jobs varying from bank clerks to miners, shopkeepers, labourers and even the mail man. They ranged in

age from 17 to 44 years old.Through English and Douglass’

in-depth investigating using muse-um archives, historical databases, century-old newspapers and even interviewing an area centenarian the pair have unearthed the motiva-tion behind the mens’ decisions to signup on the same date.

It was a speech given by a prom-inent local business man named William A. McLean at a farewell smoker the night before.

The smoker was being held for six men who had decided to join the war efforts days earlier.

McLean was too old to fight in the war but his patriotic and rous-ing speech pierced the hearts of 11 other men.

A cenotaph built to honour fall-en soldiers stands to this day in the very place the 17 men enlisted. The

men then travelled to Penticton to make it official and were then part of the 54th Kootenay Battalion out of Vernon, B.C.

Currently Hedley residents are raising funds to restore the cenotaph and add several missing names. They hope to have funds raised in time to commemorate the end of the First World War in 1918.

A variety of events are being held throughout the weekend to commemorate the men and their efforts. Proceeds and donations are going towards the Hedley cenotaph restoration fund.

On Saturday, Aug. 22 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. a First World War Hedley Boys lecture and slide show will be held at the Senior’s Centre.

Throughout the day First World War Lewis and Vickers machine

guns will be on display. Both events are free and open to

the public but donations are gladly accepted.

From 1:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. a special service will be held at the cenotaph. Roses will be laid in hon-our of the Hedley Boys and others who served in the First World War.

Hedley Historic Bus Tours will take place from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

At 6 p.m. a roast beef dinner is taking place. Tickets are still avail-able at the Hedley Museum.

On Sunday at 10:30 a.m. there will be a dedication of the First World War Hedley Soldiers Honour Roll at Grace Church.

The Grist Mill and Gardens is headed back to its rustic roots.The beloved heritage site has always offered a tea room with a serene atmosphere and gor-geous views.

Although there has always been an empha-sis on the “farm to table” dining approach, current operator Chris Mathieson said there’s now also a focus to make meals not only good for one’s health but also their wallets. “We really want to focus on feeding people and showcasing all that we have to offer here in the Similkameen Valley in a way that’s ac-cessible to everyone,” he said.

The well-known eatery hot spot for locals and tourists will continue to offer an ever chang-ing menu that utilizes its site grown fruits and vegetables. The Grist Mill and Gardens gardening staff grows a host of heritage and heirloom variet-ies of produce. The menu changes daily to refl ect what is in season.

“Everyday there are soups, salads and sand-wiches really depending on what’s available,” Mathieson said. “We try to be creative but also offer those comfort food items that every-one knows and loves.” One of the big draws to the tea room has al-ways been freshly made baked goods.

A variety of cookies, squares and tarts are made throughout the week. But it’s the home-made pies that make mouths water. Fresh fruit is used from the site whenever pos-sible or fruit is bought from area fruit stands to make the pies truly local. “They’re homemade crusts. They’re fl aky. They’re just delicious,” Mathieson said.

New this year is bread making. Staff at the Grist Mill make naturally ferment-ed sour dough. The bread is used in the tea room when appropriate and sold throughout the Similkameen and Okanagan.

The kitchen staff at the Grist Mill use a va-riety of local spices and products to pack as much fl avour into meals as possible. “We use everything from garlic scape salt to plum ketchup. Those items are also for sale in the gift shop,” he said.

Stop by the tea room daily from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to try out what’s on the menu and eat inside, out in the gardens, or on the covered patio.

In the fall hours are reduced and brunches are offered from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends.

Perhaps vintners in the Similkameen are just more humble than those in the Okanagan or maybe more honest.

Last week several news agency’s in the Okanagan were running stories reporting Okanagan vineyards could be growing the best grapes in a century.

Being such close neighbour’s and some-what friendly rivals the stories prompted the Review to check in on Similkameen grapes but local answer’s weren’t so bold.

“How could anyone even say these are the best grapes in 100 years. Was anyone around 100 years ago?,” Tim Cottrill from Robin Ridge Winery asked with a smile.

“And even if they were there’s more to great wine than great grapes although great grapes are an important building block but if you don’t know what you’re having the best grapes isn’t going to matter,” he said.

Although not prepared to say the hot dry weather the valley has experienced is help-ing to grow the best grapes of 100 years, he was willing to go out on a vine and say it might turn out to be the best this century.

Robin Ridge put out its first vintage in 2006 and Cottrill said if things continue as they are this will be best crop he’s seen.

“It’s certainly the start of a potentially great vintage but we’ve had great vintages the last few years,” he said.

Table grapes at the vineyard are early this year and picking has started.

But with the great weather and early growing season has come a predator. The wasp.

“There’s definitely elevated numbers.

We’re trying to be proactive,” he said while holding a wasp nest.

Caroline Cottrill, the other half of the Robin Ridge Winery and the president of the Similkameen Wineries Association was also not eager to brag.

“We’re all seeing a pretty phenomenal growing year but it’s too early to say. We’re all hopeful,” she said.

Black Press The subject of a massive manhunt in the South

Okanagan is facing new charges after making his first court appearance since his arrest.

Ronald Arthur Teneycke is facing new charges of aggravated assault, wounding, two counts of rob-bery with a restricted or prohibited firearm, possess-ing a restricted firearm, failing to stop for police and multiple breaches of probation.

The prolific offender was con-sent remanded to the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre on July 24 follow-ing his arrest on July 23 when a multi-day manhunt came to a dramatic conclusion in a Cawston orchard.

Teneycke’s bail hearing was adjourned as his defence counsel had not received any information and was given new charges the morning of Aug. 5.

“I have had absolutely no disclosure,” said Michael Welsh, Teneycke’s defense counsel. “It’s been three weeks and I understood there had been some files that had been proofed some time ago. I haven’t received anything from Crown on those. I don’t have anything in respect to new charges, I’m not even sure what they all are at this point.”

Welsh received some of the new charges laid on Teneycke and Crown was directed to get Welsh disclosures as soon as possible.

Teneycke, who appeared in court via video attempted to interject multiple times during pro-ceedings, but was quickly interrupted and told to speak to his lawyer.

“Why does it take two weeks for me to be brought to court for a first appearance?” Teneycke asked.

“Mr. Teneycke I haven’t received – Crown is busy laying new information here, we just got one this morning. I haven’t received any disclosure or anything. I need to know whats going on before you and I can talk, before any sort of decision can be made here,” Welsh told his client.

Teneycke continued to interject. “I’d like to register a formal objection in regards

to I have the right to be in front of a judge three days within my being taken into custody, which didn’t happen,” Teneycke said.

Teneycke will return to court on Aug. 26.

Hartfield takes stage at BC Ambassador competitionReview Staff

By the time you receive this paper Téa Hartfield will have undergone a three-hour quiz on provincial history and will be deep into final rehearsals that will hope-fully lead her to being crowned a BC Ambassador.

The 17-year-old Similkameen Elementary Secondary School stu-dent is the youngest candidate to vie for the title of BC Ambassador in this year’s competition.

Her summer has been jam packed with her job at the Grist Mill and Gardens, her role as a volunteer firefighter and preparing for the BC Ambassador competi-tion, which concludes this Saturday night.

“It’s been a lot of work,” Hartfield said days before her Tuesday departure for Merritt. “But it’ll all be worth it. I’m getting a chance to represent our area and hopefully all of BC.”

As part of the almost weeklong competition, Hartfield will recite two speeches by memory.

In one of the speeches she will talk about the area, it’s history and

all that the Similkameen Valley has to offer. In the other, she will talk about the important role of the vol-unteer firefighter in a community.

Also as part of the competition she designed an eight-foot table that will represent the Similkameen.

“It’s hard to put everything in the valley on one table,” she said.

As part of her table she con-structed and painted a replica of the Red Bridge to be part of the backdrop of the table.

“It’s a very recognizable bridge. Everyone that’s been through here has seen it,” she said.

The table also includes pho-tographs of the valley taken by local photographers, maps, tour-ist guides, winery passports and products from well known estab-lishments like a bag of flour from the Grist Mill, and product from Doug’s Homestead, and Emmy’s.

The table will be setup through-out the week at the Merritt Civic Centre.

Hartfield along with the other candidates will have dinner with the judges throughout the week and be

judged on their etiquette. They will also complete a television interview with the local Merritt cable station.

Friday the candidates will pres-ent their speeches and Saturday will be interviews with the judges and impromptu questions.

This year’s BC Ambassadors will be crowned Saturday eve-ning. The same night the BC Ambassador’s People Choice Awards will be announced.

The community has been vot-ing online for Hartfield for sev-eral months. Voting stays open until Saturday at www.BCambassador.com.

“I really do want to represent our beautiful valley but it’s been a great experience either way. I’ve met a lot of wonderful people and will hopefully meet more,” she said.

“I want to thank my sponsors the Grist Mill and the Keremeos Fire Department and my family for their help and support and Selena my friend who’s helped me and every-one in the community who has voted or donated something to help me in this. Thank you,” she said.

Whooping cough is on the riseInterior Health is seeing an increase in pertus-

sis cases, also known as whooping cough, and is reminding parents about the importance of making sure their children’s immunizations are up to date.

Pertussis activity is being seen across the region with the majority of cases currently in the Central Okanagan.

“Infants under one year of age are most at risk for serious complications from pertussis,” said Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi, Medical Health Officer with Interior Health. “Pertussis starts with similar symptoms to a common cold (runny nose, sore throat, and mild fever) and then progresses to a cough. The cough can become severe, with or with-out a classic whooping sound and may be accompa-nied by gasping, gagging, shortness of breathing and vomiting. In serious cases it can lead to pneumonia, seizures, brain damage or even death.”

Immunization is the best way to prevent the spread of this disease. The pertussis vaccine is part of the routine childhood vaccinations that are given at two months, four months, six months, and 18 months old, and again at age four to six years (before

Kindergarten). A pertussis vaccine is also given to teens at 14 to 16 years of age (Grade 9) in British Columbia.

“We are strongly advising all parents to ensure their children are immunized so they are not at risk,” adds Dr. Golmohammadi. “The pertussis vaccine is very safe and effective in preventing the spread of this disease.”

Parents are advised to check their child’s immu-nization record and make sure they are up to date. Information about accessing immunization records can be found at ImmunizeBC.

To discuss pertussis immunization for children or to book an appointment contact your local public health centre. Adults who have not been immunized for pertussis can contact their local pharmacy to inquire about getting the vaccine.

ASTROLOGY AND THE WAY IT WORKS

Okay, back to the multi-dimensional patterns within the solar wind. These patterns reflect the energy-state of the Sun as the other planets exhibit their tugs and pulls via gravity. The Sun is so greatly affected by this pull from the planets, that it actually “wobbles” in orbit if the planets align in a certain way. The scenario changes every moment, and the planets provide new gravitational situations to the Sun, constantly altering the patterns we receive. As mentioned above, when the solar wind, carrying this Sun-pattern, hits the Earth, it deposits the pattern upon our own magnetic grid. Our Earth’s magnetic grid is dynamic and is responsive to being constantly re-patterned. Because of the dynamic and changing nature of our grids, these patterns have greater and lesser areas of influence in different Earth locations. This explains the mechanics of why astrologers make calcula-tions based on the position of the Sun, moon, stars and planets.Now, how and why does this patterned energy that hits the Earth’s magnetic field, affect us? The answer lies within our DNA. Our DNA is sensitive to magnetics, since it has been shown to have some quantum aspects. It’s almost a “receiver” of quantum energy. Science now agrees that we need the magnetic grid for our biological existence. Your unique life expression, and your astrological “pattern” is implanted to your DNA from the moment that you take your first breath, independent of your mother. This explains why astrologers ask for your birth date, time and geographic location.Because the Earth is actually one of the contributing planets in this scenario, there is also a basic Earth pattern that works with the Sun. It contributes to the unique energy within the specific geographical location of where you were born. This is factored in when calculating your Zodiac sign. When astrologers determine your Zodiac sign, they consider which constellation the Sun is passing through at the time of your birth, in conjunction with many other attributes of the cosmos. So the positions of the planets help astrologers know what the actual physical pattern was that was given to you and your DNA at birth. Hopefully you now understand more about the mechanics behind why the planets actually affect your biology. The moon is important too … for some of the same gravitational reasons, all patterning your DNA. It has such a big influence in our lives!While the cosmos exerts its effects on us, I have some good news. You can actually alter your sensitivity to attributes within your own individual Astrology type! While generic influences of the planets’ and moon’s movements will always affect you to some degree (because you’re not an island apart from others), still, you can lessen other aspects. The new energy of the planet is now giving you the ability to change your DNA (with free choice). When you change your DNA, you change the very core pattern that you had at birth. Consciousness has energy, and it has been seen many times to be able to alter biology. This premise allows you to work on some of your own astrological attributes. This is what the Masters of the planet did, and this is now available to you. It involves becoming a balanced Human Being, where you can look into your life and eliminate the things that are challenges, yet keep the basic attributes of your astrological sign that support you.Can you see the potentials of how practicing your mastery can change your life? This is why I say to you that you are a powerful co-creator in this life altering process. Practicing mastery is a life-long pursuit, and while I may have tempered some of the cosmic influences that affect me, I still pay attention to Earth-wide events such as a Mercury Retrograde. This means that when certain things happen, such as my flight being delayed, or my emails not getting through, I can simply relax and smile; I know there are unseen forces at play.What about you? Can you see how there is so much more to our wonderful celestial night sky and beyond, than anything you ever imagined? Perhaps it’s time to think again about the personal and global insights that astrol-ogers can give us.This article is of the copyright of OK in Health and the author; any reproduction, duplication and transmission of the article are to have prior written approval by OK in Health or the authorThese articles are provided by OK In Health eMagazine.

AUTISM & VACCINES - NO PROVEN LINKThat “evidence” that linked autism with vaccines has now been totally refuted. The medical journal Lancet announced it is totally retracting the erroneous research paper from public record. The offending study involved only 12 children and the results were presented in a dishonest and erroneous manner. In summary, there is no proven link between autism and immunization.

HONEY VS. SUGARHoney and table sugar contain the same ingredients: fructose and glucose. One is not healthier than the other. One tablespoon of sugar contains 40 calories while the same amount of honey contains 46 calories. However, since honey contains some water, it takes a bit more honey to give the same amount of sweetness as sugar.

ASA ASK YOUR DOCTOR FIRSTAlthough A.S.A. has been around for over a century and is often said to be important in preventing heart attacks, it doesn’t mean that everyone should take one ASA tablet a day. The drug has been proven to help prevent a second heart attack but studies on it’s preventing a first heart attack are dismal. Always check with your doctor first before adding ASA to your list of daily medications.

KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR EPIPENWe mentioned a couple weeks ago about the importance of ensuring your EpiPen is well within its expiry date. It is also important to know how to use it if an emergency allergy arises. If you or a family member have a serious allergy and you aren’t sure how to use the pen, our pharmacists will be happy to show you.Summertime brings a whole group of potential health problems, like allergies, poison ivy, sunburn and swimmer’s itch. Our pharmacists are knowledgeable about all these problems and can help you avoid or relieve them.

‘Be a tourist in your own town this summer’ Linda Larson

MLA, Boundary-Similkameen As Parliamentary Secretary for

Accessibility, I continue to focus on municipal and small-business initiatives that will raise awareness.

As I have mentioned before, some communities, such as Sechelt, have active volunteer accessibility committees that are consulted by local governments when new or general maintenance work is being done on local infrastructure.

Their job is to put a lens on a project that raises awareness of sight, hearing or mobility issues as it relates to access for all.

We have an aging population that will benefit from an accessible-friendly community, and while we don’t think about it much from a tourism perspective, there are many travellers who have mobility issues who are looking for accessible-friendly tourism opportunities.

I encourage every community to engage its citizens in this worth-while endeavour.

***Congratulations to the Oliver

Seniors Centre, which received a community gaming grant of $25,000 to assist in participation in the B.C. Seniors Games.

*** Grand Forks recently received

funds through the Build Canada Initiative to upgrade its wastewa-ter treatment facility. The province contributed one-third – $153,000 – to this project that will see waste-water treated to a new cleaner stan-dard before being discharged into the river.

Clean water is a priority of our government and projects such as this are critically important to keep-ing our water safe.

It is also great to see that Grand Forks City Hall has been restored after the fire damage and is back in use for the people of Grand Forks.

*** I recently met with Doug Zorn

and the Grand Forks ATV club to look at the improvements to trails, day use and camping in the Granby and Bluejoint areas that they are accomplishing with the help of a community and employer partnership through the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation.

The program runs for 28 weeks

and has put four individuals to work and is teaching them a set of skills and certification that they will be

able to use for future employment. I was impressed with the care

of the environment that the Grand Forks ATV Club demonstrates in its activities in this wilderness area.

The sustainability of our forests is of prime concern to woodlot managers throughout the province. This is a family-supporting industry that manages areas of our forest in a way that preserves and protects wildlife as well as the health of the forest itself.

I want to thank George Delisle and the Boundary Woodlot Association for inviting me to their recent meeting and lunch hosted by Paul and Sue Adrian in Christina Lake so that I could hear their con-cerns and needs for support around this industry.

***I attended the Collector Car

Appreciation event in Keremeos on July 18. This year, July 11 was declared Collector Car Appreciation Day and the Province of B.C. des-ignates the entire month of July to this recognition.

The organization held 216 events around B.C. last year and at every one of them there was a charitable component. In Keremeos, several

cartloads of food were collected for the local food bank, and I want to thank everyone for their contribu-tions to charities throughout B.C.

***The Osoyoos Desert Society

held its annual fundraising event, Romancing the Desert, on Aug. 8. This is a unique way to experience a rare piece of our desert ecosystem and contribute to its preservation while enjoying good food and wine in a truly amazing setting.

Sometimes events seem to all pile up on one day, and Aug. 8 is one of those days. There is a Lavender Festival in Keremeos at Tree to Me; the official opening of the Border Town Winery in Osoyoos and the second annual Midsummer Night’s Dream at Black Hills Winery in Oliver. The organizers of all these special events are to be commended for providing for locals and visitors alike an incredible variety of activi-ties for us to enjoy.

***Enough cannot be said about

the fire danger to all of British Columbia this season. While we in the South Okanagan, Similkameen and Boundary areas are not strang-ers to dry conditions, we all need to exercise extreme care if we are out

enjoying our wild spaces.Understandably, the control of

Mother Nature with lightning, etc., is outside our realm, but too many fires are human caused. We also have hundreds of homes on the fringe of our forested areas, and while communities like Anarchist Mountain are fire smart, many pri-vate-property owners have allowed flammable materials to accumulate around their homes, posing an even greater risk for fire.

Please make an extra effort to be fire aware and have a fire escape plan for you and your family.

***And finally, I encourage every-

one to take time to be a tourist in your own town this summer.

Linda Larson

The Review Thursday, August 13, 2015 www.keremeosreview.com A13ENTERTAINMENT

CAPRICORN: Capricorn, even if you have a million ideas running through your head, push them aside in favor of some much-needed rest. You need to take some time for yourself.

AQUARIUS: Aquarius, embrace the coming days as a chance to distinguish yourself at work. Extra work presents an opportunity to put your value to the company on display.

PISCES: Romance is in the air, Pisces. Enjoy this exciting time and take things slowly at first. Enjoy the slow pace and get to know your new love interest.

ARIES: You’re very good at marching to the beat of a different drummer, Aries. But keep in mind that sometimes it’s advantageous to follow along with what others are doing.

TAURUS: Taurus, you hope that others appreciate what you are doing for them this week. You may not get a verbal thank-you, but expect some to show their appreciation in other ways.

GEMINI: Gemini, many people are willing to lend you a helping hand when you need one. Make the most of their generosity, and then give back whenever possible.

CANCER: Cancer, enjoy the fruits of your labor this week. You worked hard, and now is a great time for you to rest, relax and catch up with some old friends. Good times are ahead.

LEO: Leo, leave room for others to share their opinions after expressing your own. It never hurts to see another’s point of view, and a loved one’s opinion may prove enlightening.

VIRGO: Virgo, a heavy workload may force you to regroup and start over next week when you have more energy and inspiration. This is just a temporary setback.

LIBRA: Libra, now is the time for a change, however big or small that change ultimately may be. You may benefit from adoptiong a new hobby or changing careers.

SCORPIO: Your life can’t always be a bundle of excitement, Scorpio. Sometimes you have to sit back and enjoy those periods that are not so on-the-go. Relish in the slower pace.

SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, others are looking to you for advice this week. Give any inquiry the thoughtful consideration it deserves, doing your best to take others’ concerns to heart.
