Festive season launches with Light Up Parade and weekend activities See page 12

The sidewalk in front of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce was one of the most popular spots on Seventh Avenue during the Friday, December 6 Light Up Parade. CIBC employees Laurie Carter, Sandra Clifton, and Paven Sidhu spent a busy evening providing hot drinks and baked goods to frigid parade spectators. For more details, photos, please see pages 11,12.

A dispute between two departing farmworkers cost Craig and Angie Erikson their Sumac Road home on Saturday morning.

Wind - fanned � ames destroyed a storage building with second � oor accommodations in addition to Erikson’s main residence. A bon� re, set by one of two farmworkers got

out of hand early Saturday morn-ing on the property, which is locat-ed in the South Similkameen, about 15 kilometres south of Cawston.

The farmworkers, a female from France and a male from the U.S. who were sharing accommodations, had earned their � nal paycheques and were preparing to return to the United States on Saturday.

“John was apparently drinking on Friday night. The two got into a � ght and she threw him out,” said Craig Erikson Monday morn-ing. Erikson’s family had been out participating in family activities in Penticton Friday evening, returning

to their home around 9 p.m.“He got cold outside, and started

a � re,” Erikson continued, pointing to a sparse grove of blackened pine trees near the burned out building.

“He passed out, and when he woke up, the building was on � re.”

Not only was the farmworker’s building burning by then, but so was Erikson’s home, which just happened to be directly in line with strong winds that began earlier Friday evening.

Erikson credits the worker for warning the family of � ve, who all managed to escape, including the

family pets. The female farmwork-er also got out of her building safely.

With strong, gusty winds pushing the temperatures to minus 15 Celsius and lower, there wasn’t anything Erik-son could do. “I spent about a half hour running around before I realized I couldn’t save anything,” he said, noting that $60,000 worth of this summer’s crop of squash, which was located in the lower portion of the workers’ ac-commodaitons, was destroyed. The family didn’t have time to save much from the house, which was filled with smoke by the time they were awak-ened, sometime between midnight and 3 a.m. Erikson said they were able to grab their cell phones and personal identification before fleeing the house.

“Everyone is safe, that’s the main thing,” Erikson said, “I’m really just thankful the kids are all okay, and that we all made it out.”

The Eriksons put in more than 2,500 hours and $30,000 into renova-tions to their home last fall.

“We had just spent thousands of hours and dollars fixing it up the way we wanted,” he said. The property is located outside of Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department’s protection area, so there was no re-sponse by the organization. Police did attend the scene Saturday morning.

The family has insurance.Monday morning, the Erikson’s

three pet dogs lounged idly near the

driveway, seemingly oblivious to Fri-day night’s disaster.

“We lost one dog for a day, and the cat disappeared for two days, but they’re back. We were worried that the dog might have gone back into the fire.”

Erikson said the family would hopefully not have to seek accom-modation elsewhere, as the property contained two other buildings that could be made habitable. He was busy preparing one of those buildings for his family Monday morning.

An early morning structure fire on Monday, December 9, also left two Cawston renters homeless.

No one was hurt in the blaze, which gutted a home on Ferko Road. The fire broke out around midnight Monday morning. The fire appears to have begun around the chim-ney and electrical supply, but no official cause has been deter-mined yet.

Kere-meos

firefighters spent six hours battling the stubborn blaze, which took place in minus 15 degree Celsius tempera-tures. Firefighters were hampered by a lack of hydrants in the area and cold temperatures, which caused icy conditions underfoot.

“The roof collapsed early on, restricting us to an external attack,” said Keremeos Fire Chief Jordy Bosscha, “until we could ensure floor stability, we were restricted to an external attack.”

Emergency Social Services was on scene during the incident. The displaced tenants spent the night at nearby relations before ESS found further accommodations for them at a motel in Penticton.

Craig Erikson surveys the remains of his Sumac Road residence after burning embers from an outbuilding set it ablaze early Saturday morning. Beyond the trees in the background, an outbuilding was also gutted.


A residence on Ferko Road in Cawston was destroyed by fire early Monday morning.

MADD presentation

delivers timely, hard hitting

message

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) presenter Jamie Fischer described his personal tragedy due to impaired driving during a presentation to Kere-meos youth at Similkameen Elementary Secondary School on December 9.

The South Similka-meen Education on Sub-stance Abuse Committe presented “Smashed” to senior Similkameen Elementary Secondary School classes on Mon-day, December 9.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) representative Jamie Fischer made the pre-sentation, meant to send a strong message about choices young adults can make with respect to impaired driving, a mes-sage particularly timely with the Christmas season and its stepped up police roadside checks.

“I’ve seen this presenta-tion more than 100 times, and it’s still hard for me to watch,” Fischer told the youths. Fisher is currently touring the western prov-inces high schools with the message for young adults to “think twice before making choices regarding drinking and driving.”

The presen-tation included a 30 minute dramatization of a typi-cal situation young adults could find themselves in, and the tragic consequences that result from bad decisions. The second portion of the presentation included testimony from family members who had lost loved ones to impaired drivers.

“Four people each day are killed, on average, by impaired drivers in Can-ada,” Fischer said follow-ing the presentation. He then told the group of his own personal tragedy - the death of his mother to an impaired driver when he was 22.

“It changed my life for-ever,” he said, “Impaired driving’s impact on life is too hard. What you just watched

was a fictional film, but the reality is, it’s not so fictional.

Impaired driving ac-cidents aren’t accidents - impaired driving can be controlled.

You need to make that decision before you get behind the wheel,” he told the students.

In discussing the film with the students, Fischer noted that the Lower Similkameen lacked a scheduled bus or taxi serivce.

“Here in Keremeos, you have to rely on each other,” he said, “plan ahead, get a designated driver, call a friend or family member.

I watched a presenta-

tion like this when I was in grade 10 and I remem-ber thinking back then how this could never hap-pen to me.

It can happen to any one of us.”



Twenty-five registrants learned how to fill out grant applications De-cember 2 in Cawston. Speakers for the two hour session were Aar-on McRann, ExecutiveDirector and Sarah Trudeau, Regional Development Coor-dinator for the Com-munity Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen.

Similkameen Health Centre is doing well, say health executivesInterior Health delegation visits Keremeos health facility


Interior Health of� cials completed a short tour of a number of municipali-ties within its jurisdiction with a stop in Keremeos on Wednesday, December 4.

Dr. Robert Halpenny, President and Chief Exec-utive Of� cer, and Norman Embree, Interior Health Board of Directors Chair, spent the afternoon at the Similkameen Health Centre where they met with local politicians and health care professionals.

“It’s always good to have a look at our fa-cilities, walk around and meet staff,” Halpenny said of the visit.

Halpenny was im-pressed with Keremeos’ health facility.

“I was very impressed with the good work they do in residential care,” he said, “I noticed that staff interact very well with residents. It’s also good to have physicians here in the same building - it’s one stop shopping.

I think things are working very well in this location.”

Halpenny was also surprised by the extent of Keremeos’ health and community support orga-nizations.

“I was very impressed by the Lower Similka-meen Community Services Society,” he said, “I wasn’t aware of the organization in the community before. The services they provide and the volunteers’ com-mitment to the commu-nity is outstanding.”

Halpenny defended In-terior Health’s food sourc-ing policies for its institu-tional kitchens. The policy has been criticized locally for not using locally avail-able fruit, vegetables and meat in care facilities such as Orchard Haven.

“Interior Health leads the province in purchasing locally,” he said, noting such examples as lo-cal cheeses, sausage and

carrots that were sourced out of the Okanagan. He added that Interior Health researched to � nd the most nutritious method available to � ash freeze foods prior to use.

“It all depends on what you mean by local,” he said, “quite a bit of it is local.”

Regarding the sub-ject of Interior Health’s 4,3,2,1 program regard-ing surface water treat-ment, Halpenny said that “changes were coming” on surface water regulation.

“We don’t make the rules, but we try to enforce them,” he said, “the issue of surface water is becom-ing a source of concern.”

Ivor Norlin, Interior Health Manager for the Health Protection Pro-gram, said the province had recently issued new provincial drinking water objectives for surface wa-ter, and work was under-

way to standardize objec-tives across the province.

“The 4,3,2,1 objective in Interior Health policy,” Norlin said, “we’re in the process of looking at our large water systems to ensure that our objectives meet those of the prov-ince.”

Norlin said he didn’t anticipate any big changes in policy as a result, but Interior Health would be issuing a report to water suppliers in the new year.

“It’s a good opportu-nity for us to conduct an inventory, to see where our water suppliers are,” he said, “it provides us with a chance to check on ourselves.”

Interior Health over-sees 106 large surface water systems in their re-gion. A large water system is one with 500 or more subscribers.

Peggy Mutch, South Similkameen Health Centre Manager poses with Interior Health President Dr. Robert Halpenny after meetings held at the health centre board room in Keremeos on December 4.


Keremeos residents could soon be seeing cleaner, more dapper versions of man’s best friend in the village with the opening of The Paw Spa on Seventh Avenue.

Proprietor Jennifer Mont-gomery brings 10 years experi-ence in dog grooming with her to her new venture in Keremeos. She offers full pet grooming services to dogs - and to “good kitties.”

The Paw Spa offers bathing, drying, removal of all shed, haircuts, ear cleaning and nails - pawdicures?- to the region’s

canine counterparts. Montgom-ery can handle all breeds of dogs, and accepts walk ins or appointments.

She recently moved to Kere-meos with her husband from Penticton.

“People have been coming in off the street to welcome me,” she said after posting her “open” sign earlier this week.

“It’s a very friendly commu-nity.”

Montgomery is pleased with her small,well equipped store-front operation, located at 613 - 7th Avenue.

“It’s good for me,” she said, “I’m pretty much a one person show.”

Local events are reminders to be safe this season

Similkameen residents were offered some grim reminders of the need to think ahead and think safety as winter and the festive season approaches.

Two house fires in the Lower Similkameen this weekend are reminders to the rest of us of the need to use caution and think safety when trying to keep warm this winter.

Outdoor fires continue to present dangers, in spite of the fact that there may be snow cover on the ground and sub zero tempera-tures in the air.

The use of supplemental heating sources like wood stoves can provide comfortable heat, but wood burning devices must be maintained and chimneys kept clean.

Hopefully, this weekend’s dual fire trag-edies are reminders enough for the rest of us, and the rest of the winter sees no more residents left out in the cold because fires lit for warmth and comfort got out of control.

The Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) presentation at Similkameen El-ementary Secondary School was also a grim reminder of the tragedies that come from im-paired driving. Even as the presentation was made at the school on Monday morning, the region’s police were reporting that this year’s 90 day immediate roadside prohibitions had increased by almost a third over last year; all impaired files were at least equal to last year’s totals.

If that’s not sobering news to you, perhaps it ought to be.

The Sensible BC campaign to spark the decriminalization of marijuana in B.C. is officially up in smoke after falling short of its goal.

Pot activists got 210,000 signatures or about two-thirds of the 300,000 needed – 10 per cent of voters in all 85 B.C. ridings – for their initiative petition to potentially trigger a referendum. They had aimed for a target of 450,000 to provide a buffer against disqualified signatures.

“It’s a pretty re-markable accomplish-ment,” Sensible BC head Dana Larsen.

“We’ve definitely

demonstrated a high level of organization and support for this cause. Had we been operating under the rules of pretty much any other referendum system in the world, we would have quali-fied to be on the bal-lot.”

He said the 4,500 registered petitioners – triple the number at the start of the 90-day campaign – reached the threshold required by Elections BC in 19 electoral districts and got at least eight per cent in five more.

Successful local campaigns happened on much of Vancouver Island, the Kootenays and other parts of the Interior.

But in the vote-rich Lower Mainland that holds the most districts, marijuana ad-vocates came up short.

They reached the 10 per cent threshold in just Vancouver-West End and Vancouver-Mount Pleasant, with

no other local wins in the rest of Metro Vancouver or the Fra-ser Valley. They came closest in the three North Shore ridings with eight per cent plus.

Sensible BC aimed to compel the province to pass legislation ban-ning police from ex-pending any time and resources on simple marijuana possession.

Larsen said canvass-ers were harried in some areas by oppo-nents and at times by calls to police as they tried to collect signa-tures on SkyTrain and BC Ferries.

The outcome is no-where near the 700,000 signatures gathered by Fight HST forces en route to their winning referendum.

But Larsen argues the province must now look “very seriously” at the marijuana issue, particularly as states such as Washington and Colorado move to full pot legalization.

He says history shows even failed campaigns can have impact.

A prior initiative in 2002 pushing propor-tional representation got 98,000 signatures but led to a citizens assembly on electoral reform and ultimately two referendum ques-tions on the issue.

Signatures were be-ing delivered to Elec-tions BC Monday and Larsen said Sensible BC will take a break over Christmas be-fore deciding when to mount a new petition campaign, along with other forms of politi-cal engagement.

“We’re definitely going to do it again,” he said.

To the Editor,On Wednesday, December 4, I hosted

my second yearly “Volunteer Appreciation Event” for contributors of RDOS Area “G”. This year’s event was held at Tree to Me just outside of Keremeos. Sage Bush winery gave a wine tasting and we enjoyed nibblies and pastries prepared by the tal-ented staff of Tree to Me.

First, I apologize to anyone who helps out in this electoral area who was missed- my invitation list began simply enough with the community groups who apply for grant-in-aids through the RDOS. I added larger, immediately identi� able organiza-tions like the � re departments, recreation commissions, and improvement district boards, but I am sure there are people who I missed and for that I am sorry. I hope to “catch” you next year as the event is meant to celebrate all of the work you willingly gift each other to make the Similkameen Valley a better place.

Highlights of the evening included the Keremeos Fire Department who turned out in parade uniform; this team looked dashing. Anyone who has seen � re� ghters decked out in full gear know that “they all look the same”; you can’t see much of their faces and their bodies are hidden under twenty pounds of clothing. At this event we could recognize our individual heroes and it was great to see! Hedley Fire De-partment and Keremeos Fire Department

members got a chance to socialize without it being around an emergency scene.

At this event I thanked a few people whose ongoing efforts and contributions touch many groups and impact many people. I gave out a few certi� cates of award to couples; we have some dynamic “partnerships” who contribute even more together; their lives seem devoted to service of others. Not all recipients were able to at-tend, but the awards recognized the follow-ing couples, in alphabetical order: Doug and TJ Bratt, Dave and Gabi Cursons, Graham and Myrtle Gore, John Armstrong and Judy Chisholm. Awards to individuals included Joe Little� eld and Beryl Wallace.

I am sorry to say that Joe Little� eld will be moving from the Similkameen Valley to a new home in the Lower Mainland. Here is the wording of Joe’s award- those of you who know Joe should say your farewells soon!

Award Certi� cate presented to Joe Little-� eld: for his tireless dedication to commu-nity through trail development, his mentor-ship to those younger and less wise, and for his willingness to share his time, opinions and insights in the development and imple-mentation of a Similkameen Valley-wide tourism plan.

Thank you, Joe.You will be missed. Angelique Wood, Hedley

To the Editor:Perhaps you could check out the follow-

ing: The one bag limit for house-hold gar-

bage pick-up would de� nitely work if we all used commercial garbage bags and the weight of such be double the present single one.

I � nd it’s the summer, when family and friends come to visit and enjoy the Okana-gan, when more waste is created.

I inquired to the RDOS - why is it that Osoyoos weekly one bag residents have garden waste picked up every second week and yet their land� ll is open far more than the Keremeos operation, which is open only on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

I forgot to ask if Osoyoos residents pay the same per year as Area “G”.

I did suggest to former Mayor Walter

Despot many moons ago that the land� ll scale backward shack location was a joke and I was assured then, that weigh scales and a new shack location would soon be in place.

I also asked the mayor if it would be pos-sible to have the land� ll open for an extra half day during the week while the busy spring and fall yard clean up is under-way.

A lot of retired folk would be happy, and any Sunday congestion on the hill lead-ing to the backward scale shack would be scaled down.

So far, like always, change will not hap-pen until the idea becomes a political idea - or a brake failure with a vehicle sliding backwards down toward the by-pass road due to a domino effect on an icy slippery wintery hill occurs. Tom Isherwood, Olalla

Thanks given to Area “G” volunteers

Longer hours at the dump would be helpful

A public hearing preceded the December 2 meeting of council over proposed text amendments to the village’s agricultural zonings.

The text amendments clari� ed the use of village agricultural land by de� ning agricultural use as not including a medical marihuana facility. There was no one present in council cham-bers to oppose the amendment.

Keremeos Village Council recieved a let-ter from the District of Kent.

The letter concerned the provincial core review of the Agricultural Land Commis-sion and Agricultural Land Reserve. The District of Kent expressed an interest in maintaining the status quo of the ALC and ALR, requesting a longer period for public input in the event the two agencies were reviewed. Council received the letter for information purposes.

Council also received a memo from the Union of BC Municipalities, providing additional information to council about Multi-Materials BC (MMBC), a new recy-cling program scheduled for implementa-tion next year. Waste pick up and recycling in Keremeos is coordinated through the re-gional district; council received the memo for information.

Council read the text amendment regard-ing medical marihuana production a third time prior to meeting in closed session.

Board of Directors elected their chair and vice chair at the inaugural meeting of 2014 on De-cember 5.

Osoyoos rural Director Mark Pendergraft and Keremeos Director Manfred Bauer squared off in a two way race for the chair person position. Incumbent Pendergraft, who replaced former

Chair Dan Ashton after he left the regional district to run provincially earlier this year, suc-ceeded in being elected for 2014.

The vice chair position was also a two way race, this time between incumbent Keremeos Di-rector Bauer and Penticton Director Gary Litke, with Litke prevailing.

Summerland Director Janice Perrino retained the chair position for the regional hospital board, with Penticton Director Judy Sentes taking vice chair. The two positions were won by acclama-tion.

News in brief

Helping you be a savvy energy user

Did you know?

To further encourage energy conservation, FortisBC was required to implement the residential conservation rate — a two level rate structure.

FortisBC PowerSense has many no and low-cost home energy saving tips and programs designed to help you save. fortisbc.com/powersense

The two level rate structure explained

1 Based on average 2012 electricity use for customers in FortisBC’s South Interior service area. 2 Source: http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/publications/energy-efficiency/council-energy-ministers/188. FortisBC uses the FortisBC name and logo under license from Fortis Inc. (13-372.2 12/2013)

The first 1,600 kWh you use every two months are billed at a lower rate (9.09 cents). Your use above this amount is then billed at a higher rate (13.54 cents). If you use up to 2,500 kWh bimonthly, you’re paying less than you would if there was a flat rate (10.56 cents). Learn more at fortisbc.com/electricityrates.

Interesting facts:

35,000homes each year.

Since 1989, FortisBC PowerSense programs have helped customers save enough electricity to power:

FYI We recently filed a progress report on the residential conservation rate with the BC Utilities Commission. Read the report at fortisbc.com/rcr or call us at 1-866-436-7847.

71%of our customers pay about the same or less under the

residential conservation rate than they would under the previous flat rate structure.

A sweater is betterSet your thermostat to 20˚C when home and 17˚C when out or asleep.

Interim rates as of January 1, 2014.

The residential conservation rate is revenue neutral,

meaning it does not increase FortisBC’s earnings.

The result of collaborative change at SOWINS is ripe for sharing. This year long process has culminated in a new logo, new website, renewed vision and move of our offices.

Our new logo was created by Timothy Tweed of NRG Design for TLB Marketing Essentials. We are very pleased with the result. The stylized shelter, mobius strip and open door in healing colours of pink and blue blend into a strong image representing our values and our work.

The new website and social media was also designed and built by NRG Design & TLB Marketing Essentials. The new site has a contemporary look and fully encompasses what SOWINS offers our clients, supporters and community. We appreciate the clean look with easy navigation and inviting visuals. We look forward to keeping it fresh, up-to-date and informative. Please visit www.sowins.com and send us your comments.

Our annual Strategic Visioning session was held in September. We renewed our vision of a society where women and children live their lives free from violence and abuse. We also expanded our view on how to accomplish this… long term… a facility that houses all the services we provide… including the emergency shelter, social enterprise and long-term housing. We are excited to begin transferring the vision to the planning stage in the near future.

Over the course of the next week, SOWINS will literally be moving up in the world. Programs and services currently spread between the first and second floors of the Commerce Court Building at 246 Martin Street will consolidate onto the third floor. We will have more natural light and be working together out of the same space. Choosing change is a challenge - it takes commitment and work. But when the time is ripe and a choice is made, the results are rewarding and can exceed expectations!

ACTION CHANGES THINGSIt is that special time of year when giving is foremost in our thoughts and actions. At SOWINS we give every day of the year to women and children who have experienced or are at risk of abuse. Each year we help hundreds with our 24 hour crisis line, Transition House, outreach counseling and support services. In 2013 we helped 958 women and 199 children.With a service area spanning Summerland to Osoyoos – Naramata to Keremeos, nearly 4000 square miles, sometimes we can feel stretched quite thin. Once a year we appeal to our community asking you to help our work by making a cash donation. We are asking you to give so that you can help women and children in your community to move beyond abuse. In 2013, 4 % of transition house usage and crisis calls were women and their children from the Keremeos area. Women of all ages and ethnic backgrounds access our services. Cultural considerations can make our work extra sensitive for immigrant populations. Recently a new Canadian came to us for help. She had arrived to find a drug-addicted, HIV positive, abusive man as her future husband. Her life is extremely difficult. Her children are Canadian citizens and therefore she can not take them out of the country with-out the father’s approval. She is alone without any immediate family in the country. In her married family no one will hear or support her story. She can not leave the situation, she has no money and no where to go. We are working to get her to the government authority that can help with her complicated case, while also giving her the support to keep herself and her children as safe as possible.

By donating to SOWINS, you can help others like her; women and children who may be in immediate crisis or coping with past abuse that is impacting their lives today. You can make your donation by dropping off or mailing a cheque to our Penticton office or visiting www.sowins.com and contributing through the Canada Helps link. If you would like to discuss more options please contact us at 250-493-4366. Wishing you a relaxing and enjoy-able holiday season. Thank you from the team at SOWINS, Charity# 12998 7665 RR000.

Keremeos residents spent a chilly evening watching the an-nual Light Up parade on Sev-enth Avenue, December 6.

It was one of the colder events in recent memory, with spectators noticeably fewer than in previous years.

Icy patches on the streets didn’t help those navigating on foot, either.

Still, several hundred lined the streets to welcome the Christmas season with a parade containing roughly the same number of floats as last year. Seventh Avenue was a brighter place this year with the opening of two businesses on the north side of the business section.

“It went well,” said parade marshall Marie Marvin.

“There was some confusion over the start time of the parade, which left a few people out in the cold for longer than they would have liked, but, consid-ering the weather, there was a good turn out.”

Start time of the parade had been publicized as beginning at 5 p.m., but things did not get un-derway until after 5:30, as some parade participants were given a later start time.

Many spectators took advan-tage of the generous offerings of several businesses, including Seventh Street Diner and Coun-try Wine Celler, who offered hot beverages during the parade.

One of the busiest locations on Seventh Avenue was the front sidewalk of the Canadian Impe-rial Bank of Commerce, where a table generously laden with des-serts and hot drinks was steadily surrounded by spectators look-ing for a boost against the bone chilling temperatures.

Similkameen Country held a very popular craft fair at Vic-tory Hall this year, with every table utilized. The fair was particularly busy Friday night, with traffic down Saturday, most likely due to the uncomfortable cold weather.

Forbidden Fruit’s Steve Venables reported an excellent turnout Sunday for Similkameen Wineries Christmas wine tours, which took place on the week-end.

“Saturday was brutal,” he said, but Sunday was up 15 per cent over last year.” Venables said that Forbid-

den Fruit hosted visitors from all over the Okanagan on the weekend, including a number of visitors from Prince George, and even one couple from California.

“So much depends on the weather this time of year. We were pleased,” Venable said of the weekend business.

Grist Mill manager Chris Ma-thieson was also happy with the weekend turnout for a number of events at the mill, including Sunday brunch and a weekend of kids crafts.

“Our weekend was pretty well attended,” Mathieson said, “Sunday brunch was packed - we had 70 people.” Mathieson said a number of brunch guests came in the form of groups from the Okanagan. They were com-ing not only to eat, but to take in Cawston Theatre Players’ Christ-mas play, “Hotel Bethlehem.”

Mathieson said approximately 150 people visited the mill on the weekend. The kids craft fair held on Saturday and Sunday, offered children an opportunity to make a number of different Victorian era crafts, including such things as pop up cards and personally created wrapping paper.

Kelly Hopkins, Marketing and Events Manager for Challenge Penticton, and triathlete Alan Kidd managed to attract the regional district board’s attention in time to make a last minute presentation to the board in order to be considered for grant funding in the RDOS 2014 budget.

The unscheduled presentation included the distribution of Chal-lenge golf shirts to board members by Hopkins as Kidd described the organization’s plans for the next Penticton Challenge race.

“Support from the regional dis-trict is essential,” said Kidd, follow-ing a brief powerpoint presentation, adding the race society was mak-ing improvements to the event for 2014 by adding a half triathlon and “Kids of Steel” program. He added that Challenge was striving to increase registration, which in turn would increase tourism in the area.

“That’s all � ne, but how did you end up last year?” asked Area “D” Director Tom Siddon, adding the board had pitched in (with a grant) this year, and was currently facing some tough decisions regarding the 2014 budget, already projected to

be higher than last year’s. “Did you come out on target?”

he asked.Kidd responded that Challenge

Penticton had met their targets, but one target also projected the group to become pro� table in � ve years.

“Not all the � gures are in,” he said, “we’re proceeding nicely, we still need some help, that’s why we’re here.”

Additional attempts by directors to � nd out the � nancial position of Challenge Penticton were answered evasively, to the point where Kidd replied Challenge Penticton was not obligated to reveal its � nancial position.

Summerland Director Janice Per-rino offered to go in camera to � nd out, saying that she was struggling with the decision, without knowing where Challenge Penticton was with respect to the group’s � nances.

The delegation departed after re-questing the same amount granted by the regional district for 2013 - $25,000.

The board raised the Challenge Penticton grant request during budget discussions later in the meet-ing, going in camera for an initial discussion regarding the race’s � nances.

Afterwards, the board was at

odds over the signi� cance of the Challenge race on a regional basis, with Osoyoos Director Stu Wells calling some of the board’s response to the request “Pentictoncentric.”

Several board members recalled this year’s request from Challenge Penticton to be a “one off” deal, noting they were back once again, while other directors indicated an interest in pursuing a “phasing out” of the grant by decreasing annual amounts.

“I remember the last request as being ‘one time,’” said Oliver Director Ron Hovanes. “I said they would be back - we might as well make it a line item.

I don’t think I will support this.”“We have $600,000 worth of

� nancial pressures to deal with in the 2014 budget,” said Area “D” Director Tom Siddon, “we took $25,000 out of economic develop-ment this year - it was to be a one time deal to ensure a smooth launch (of the race).

I’d agree to $12,000 - cut it in half.”

The board found some consensus in Siddon’s comments, and after further discussion, agreed to add Challenge Penticton’s request for a grant to the 2014 budget, in the amount of $12,000.

Challenge Penticton appears before regional district board for 2014 grant funding


health

As the title of this article implies, what you consume immediately following your workout is almost as impor-tant as the workout itself. Every time you exercise, you deplete a significant amount of your stored muscle glycogen (carbohydrates) as well as your amino acid pool, and the stress of that exercise breaks down and damages your muscle cells. The good news is that those muscle cells grow bigger and stronger (provided they are properly nourished) so they can better handle that stress in the future. However, the effects of exercise are quite catabolic. You drain your fuel supplies, you eat up the circulating protein in your system, you distress your muscle cells and depending on the intensity of the activity, you may burn some muscle tissue for energy along the way. Additionally, the adrenal hormone cortisol is released. Although an important hormone, it is the bad guy in athletics because it assists in the conversion of existing muscle tissue into fuel. All this adds up to a highly catabolic environment that breaks down, burns up and empties your reserves. Making the transition from that exercise induced depleted state to one of recovery, repair and growth is the tricky part. Fortunately, a wonderful window of opportunity presents itself right at the time we need refuelling the most. For an hour or so after a workout your body’s ability to absorb and utilize nutrients is exceptionally high. With a well-timed protein shake following a workout, you not only replenish and refuel yourself, you also shift gears from the catabolic environment an anabolic one that begins the growth, recovery and repair process. This high absorption window of opportunity is short lived. If you do not reload during that first critical hour, chances are you will linger in a catabolic state for hours. A protein shake, ideally consumed within 30 minutes after exercise containing both good quality carbohy-drates and a high biological value protein source is the simple solution. The obvious combination is a fruit juice based shake or smoothie that includes whey protein. This type of shake is quickly and easily digested (much quicker than solid food) and almost immediately initiates the recovery process. Not only do the carbohydrates replenish your glycogen stores, they also encourage the release of insulin, which plays a significant role in the transportation and uptake of the pro-tein in your shake. As far as protein powder, a clean high quality whey protein concentrate is a sensible choice, but if your budget permits it, you can’t beat cross flow microfiltered whey protein isolate. It has both an outstanding protein percentage and biological value, two important considerations. Feel free to add other ingredients and nutritional supplements to your post workout shakes. Creatine, glutamine, and flax seed oil are all valuable additions. Remember, your workout really isn’t over when you put down that last dumbbell or step off the treadmill; it’s when you unplug and put away your blender.

WORLD DIABETES DAYWorld Diabetes Day is on November 14. Diabetes is recognized as a world epidemic. The number of people that will be diag-nosed with Type II diabetes is expected to rise dramatically over the next few years. By controlling our weight, exercising, we can have a great effect on our chances of getting the disease.

FOOT HEALTH & DIABETESIf you are a diabetic already, do you check your feet daily? Dia-betics often lose nerve sensitivity in their legs and feet. Note particularly any breaks in the skin to prevent any infection from occurring. It’s also extremely important to wear good comfort-able shoes.

RISK FACTORS FOR DIABETESPeople who are overweight are at a greater risk of becoming diabetic. If you want to lose weight, start by setting a realistic goal. Losing only 10% of your current body weight can go a long way to reduce your risk of heart disease, high blood pres-sure, osteoporosis and of course diabetes. No time like the pres-ent to start.

SIGNS OF DIABETESMany Canadians have diabetes and don’t know it. Here are some of the signs of diabetes; frequent urination, fatigue, exces-sive thirst, change in vision and tingling or lack of sensation in feet and legs. Once diagnosed, diabetes is very controllable. See your doctor if you are feeling these symptoms and particu-larly if there is a diabetes history in your family.

Our pharmacy has a complete selection of diabetic supplies. Combine that with all the diabetic knowledge possessed by our pharmacists, we are your Diabetes Centre.

I haven’t slept in a year.I know that sounds like hyperbole, and maybe it is, a tiny bit. My beautiful, charming, and above all active baby boy has not slept longer than two hours at a stretch and, since he began teething full time to get his current collection of 10 teeth out, many nights there are only stretches of 30-40 minutes before I am on nursing detail again. I know I’m not alone. Most parents of newborns report sleepless nights and many of our clients begin seeing us in the first place because they are having sleep problems. Either falling asleep or staying asleep is a huge issue for many people. If a squalling infant isn’t your reason for being up all night it usually falls into one of three categories.One; body aches or pains of some kind mean that you cannot get comfortable enough to fall asleep. If this is the case, a good calcium/magnesium supplement can be helpful. In your muscular system, calcium acts to contract muscles and magnesium relaxes them. Many people have had the idea that they need 1500mg per day of calcium drummed into them in order to prevent osteoporosis, but they forget about the fact that calcium is tightening their muscles. You can balance this out with a magnesium supplement taken in the evening. Most people notice the difference within a few days. Soaking in a tub of Epsom salts (magnesium again) a couple times a week can also help.Two; the body is tired but the mind won’t stop churning. One of the ways to deal with this is to support the adrenals and nervous system to function well throughout the day. A good B-complex vitamin can help with this (we like ‘B-Calm’ by Sisu with its addition of rhodiola as an adaptigenic herb). Bach flower remedies can be used for this as well. For instance, Rescue Sleep is made with Rescue Remedy – traditionally used for stress and anxiety, combined with White Chestnut, which is used for ‘broken-record syndrome’ – thoughts that keep going around and around without any resolution. This is a nice product because it’s not a sedative, so it won’t leave you with the groggy feeling that some others will. Because it is simply working on an energetic level to reduce feelings of stress and worry it can be taken each time someone wakes through the night without any ill effect. Three; your body chemistry is out of whack. Maybe you’re going through menopause/andropause, or are struggling with depression, or maybe you’ve always been a bit of an insomniac. 5-HTP is a precursor to tryptophan, the amino acid that your brain uses to make melatonin, the hormone that makes you feel sleepy. The advantage to taking 5-HTP rather than relying solely on melatonin as a supplement is that it encourages your brain to makes the hormones itself, instead of need-ing a hit every evening. I like the product ‘Somno-Pro’ by Bioclinic Naturals, because it combines 5-HTP, melatonin (so that you get relief right away while still encouraging your natural chemistry) and theanine for mental relaxation.Do you see yourself in any of the above descriptions? Of course, these are just general guidelines. Specialized Kinesiol-ogy lets a practitioner see what is causing stress in your body specifically and what foods or supplements might work best for you. Unfortunately, what that might reveal is that your sleeping problems are related to one of the things you love most in the world and that time is the only solution. Let’s see if things get better at all with his first birthday!Alexis’ Bio: Alexis Costello is a natural health practitioner specializing in applied kinesiology, Bach Flower Remedies, massage and herbology.

IT’S NEVER TOO LATEIt’s never too late to start exercising. Six months of endurance exercise could reverse 30 years of inactivity. However, start slowly and work up to 30 minutes of moderate exercise 5-7 days per week. If you have a chronic health condition, your doctor should be consulted before starting any exercise program.

METERED-DOSE INHALERSIf you are using one of those pressurized metered-dose inhalers to help your breathing, it is important to coordinate your inhaling with the release of the medication from the spray. If you have trouble with this, ask our pharmacists about a “spacer”. It’s a plastic device that suspends the medication in a chamber to allow more time to inhale.

TREATING MORNING SICKNESSTreating morning sickness during pregnancy can be difficult. Most products available contain vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine) with another medication. Some women find supplementing with plain vitamin B-6 at a dose of 25 mg three times a day is a safe and effective way of treating the problem.

HERBAL REMEDIESSome herbal remedies are best not taken with regular medication. One good example is goldenseal. This herb suppresses two important enzymes that help break down many medications so they can be excreted from the body. The combination would make the regular drug last longer in the body and perhaps lead to side effects.One of our many jobs as your pharmacist is to check for any drug interactions. It’s an important part of our continued service to you and your better health.

The Similkameen Valley Planning Society (SVPS) met in Princeton on Nov. 27 in the Library Conference Room.

The society formed to develop a long term sustainability plan for the Similkameen Valley and includes; the mayors and elected officials from Princeton, Keremeos, the Upper and Lower Si-milkameen Indian Bands, and all the Similkameen valley regional directors.

The first presentation on the agenda was an up-date on the Similkameen Valley tourism project via Simone Carlysle-Smith, Community Development Specialist from TOTA. (Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association)

This is a pilot project done in partnership with SVPS and TOTA to market the Similkameen Val-ley. In April of 2013, the new brand, “Similkameen Valley - Rugged. Rustic. Real.” was revealed during the celebration of the destination brand and web-site: www.similkameenvalley.com.

“This case study is a great demonstration of what can be done with limited resources,” said

Carlysle-Smith.Further tools and partnerships were introduced

by Carlysle-Smith. Available sites for locals to promote their businesses and events including the Similkameen Valley site are; www.hellobc.com, Similkameen Valley on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

A partnership has been developed with Black Press to produce the Similkameen Valley 2014 Official Travel Experiences Guide. The contact to place your advertising in this guide is with Sandi at [email protected] or by calling 250-499-2653.

The travel experiences guide will be out in March of 2014. In the meantime, stakeholders can either update or add their information on the Similkameen Valley website and begin promotion of the valley now.

Manfred Bauer, mayor of Keremeos and chair of SVPS thanked Carlysle-Smith for her presen-tation adding, “Thanks for making us the pilot project.”

Similkameen Watershed Study An update on the Similkameen Watershed Study

was presented to the members of SVPS by Doug French, Public Works Manager for the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen.

In September of 2013 Fortis Generation Inc. began the next phase of feasibility studies for the

Similkameen River Water Storage and Hydroelec-tric Generating Facility located approximately 15 km south of Princeton.

First Nations engagement and working with the Province of British Columbia to obtain investiga-tive permits to access land to conduct technical and environmental studies needed are in progress now.

With the expectation of Fortis having to do envi-ronmental assessments, it may be possible to “piggy back on that information.”

Concerns relating to the study include; - risk of inadequate water supply, review of storage options, water quality monitoring and ground water

- review of the aquifer mapping. The water quality and nutrients in tributaries

and lakes are listed as moderate in the analysis as well as riparian areas. French noted that locals are “championing” the riparian areas.

“The watershed is in good shape,” he said. The next step recommended is the calculation of natu-ral flow for future water usage.

A new Water Sustainability Act by the provincial government is in progress and is scheduled to be introduced into the spring 2014 legislative session.

In light of the possibility of an environmental study by Fortis and the new provincial act, projects ready for Stage Two in the watershed study will be put on hold. More information will be available in the spring.

VAN DEN HOEKJOHANNES

“JOE”: September 29, 1932 - December 7, 2013

With great sadness, we announce that on Saturday December 7, 2013, Joe van den Hoek passed away at

the age of 81 years. Joe was predeceased by his father Jan van den Hoek, his mother Janneke (Riemens) van den Hoek, his sisters Maria van den Hoek and Janneke (van den Hoek) de Glopper. Joe will be forever loved by his wife Ria, his daughters Sonja van den Hoek (Jim), Dianne Clifton (Brad), Freda McLean (Doug) and his six grandchildren Joel, Ashley, John Ross, Marla, Taylor and Carey. Joe was born in den Helder, Holland in 1932. He immigrated to Canada in 1948 with his father, step-mother, and step-brother. His sister immigrated a few years later in 1950 with her family. As a young teenager, Joe worked doing various jobs, such as a ranch hand, on the railway and then as a miner. On October 22, 1954, Joe married the love of his life, Ria. Together, in 1970, they bought the family home with an orchard in Keremeos, BC to raise their three daughters. Joe was an orchardist for over 40 years and a miner for over 30. Joe enjoyed camping, shing, skating, watching soccer and hockey on TV. He was a jack of all trades and willing to help others. He devoted his love, time and energy to his family, especially to his wife Ria. Dad loved her with all his heart for the 59 years that they were married. Joe also had a love for animals, especially dogs. There was never a time during Joe’s life that he did not have a dog or two at his side. Joe will be forever remembered for his kind and gentle demeanor. Interment will be held at the Keremeos Cemetery on Liddicoat Road, on Monday December 16, 2013 at 1pm. In celebration of Joe’s life a tea will be held at the Keremeos Elks Hall, Veterans Avenue Keremeos BC at 2pm. In lieu of owers, donations may be made in Joe’s memory to the SPCA, 2200 Dartmouth Drive, Penticton, BC. V2A 4C2. Condolences may be sent to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com.
