Crash sends one to hospital Wine heist information uncorked

Review Staff Somewhere between $450,000 to $750,000 in

wine has been stolen from a Cawston winery. RCMP released information about the wine

heist, which happened sometime around May 22, on Tuesday morning to the Keremeos Review.

Const. Joe Bayda said the RCMP was not releas-ing the name of the winery at this time citing privacy concerns.

Approximately 7,000 units of three-litre bags of wine were stolen.

“No labels were affixed to the bags at the time of the theft; howev-er, these bags are unique to the area and should stand out if seen,” Bayda wrote in an email.

Bayda said the owner does have insurance.

Rumours about a sig-nificant wine heist have circulated in the commu-nity since the end of May.

Police did not provide details when asked previ-ously by the Review.

Bayda said a shift in responsibilities at the detachment and time constraints regarding the collection of details for a media release contributed to the delay.

Police have no leads as to whether the wine is still in the area or has been transported somewhere else in the province, country or overseas.

Depending on the winery and retail costs that amount of wine could represent an entire vintage.

A winery must submit a floor plan to the Liquor Control Licensing Branch to receive a licence to make commercial quantities of wine.

The winery must state whether they will store the wine on-site or off-site.

Given the circumstances the winery most likely would not be reprimanded for having its wine sto-len.

If you have information please call the Keremeos RCMP at (250) 499-5511 and quote file 2015-580 or to remain anonymous call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Tara Bowie Review Staff

A single vehicle rollover sent one man to hospital after the car he was driving left the roadway and went crashing down an embankment stopping just short of the Similkameen River.

The collision occurred around 7:30 p.m about a kilometre west of Hedley. The driver was the lone occupant in the four-door grey sedan.

He was travelling east around a bend before the vehicle left the road. The vehicle rolled several times before coming to a rest just metres away from the river.

Hedley first responders were first on the scene.

Upon arrival, the man was already out of his vehicle and propping his head up with something out of his vehicle.

First responders stabilized and assessed the man’s injuries while rescue teams from Princeton and Keremeos rushed to the scene.

The two teams worked together to com-plete a high angle rescue. The man was placed on a back board and by using ropes he was brought up the embankment to a waiting ambulance.

He was transported to hospital with seri-ous but non-life threatening injuries.

While the rescue was underway traffic

was closed in both directions. It took about 90 minutes for the road to be re-opened.

It’s unknown at this time what caused the collision but drivers in vehicles behind the car said he had been driving erratically before he left the roadway.

The cause of the collision is under investigation.

The wine bag is unique to the area.

Tara Bowie Rescue teams from Princeton and Keremeos use a high angle technique to bring a man to safety after he rolled his car down an embankment near Hedley Monday night.

PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS

Where there’s fire, there’s smoke


Along with many other people in the province, residents of the Similkameen were greeted with smoky skies early this week as crews battled more than 180 wild fires throughout BC.

The smoke is mainly coming from fires in the Pemberton area.

An easterly wind has helped that heavy smoke settle in valleys throughout the southern parts of BC.

Adding to the smokiness is the growing Newby Lake wildfire in the Snowy Protected Area near Chopaka.

The fire was caused by lightening. The Newby Lake fire is the largest wildfire in the

Kamloops Fire Centre coverage area that is not con-tained, communications officer Kayla Pepper said during an interview Tuesday afternoon.

The fire was first spotted July 2 and has since grown to more than 600 hectares in size.

“It was burning in high elevation grassland and timber and for the first few days it was just burning into natural features and then it showed more activ-ity a few days ago and that’s when it started moving more into the south,” she said.

The fire is burning on both sides of the Canadian US border. It’s growing rapidly in the US. Crews are fighting the fire from that side of the US while it is just being monitored by Canadian wildfire person-nel.

“The Newby Lake fire is a naturally occurring fire doing a lot of good to the ecosystem in the area.

That one is being monitored closely but we don’t have a lot of resources on it because there are higher priority incidents going on throughout the area,” she said.

Also burning in the area is a fire in Ashnola that started Saturday and has grown to 147 hectares in size. Currently 61 BC wildfire services personnel are fighting the fire. Air tankers and helicopters have been used. The fire is suspected to be human caused.

“It’s a fairly steep area and it’s burning on the north side of the Ashnola River and the north side of the Ashnola service road.”

A 20-person crew also continues to fight a fire near Hunter Creek in the Cawston area. The fire has grown to 70 hectares.

At this point in the year the number of fires in the Kamloops fire services area is up significantly.

Between April 1 and July 7 about 170 fires have been reported up from 115 for the same timeframe in 2014.

“We are facing some extremely high tempera-tures and dry conditions. People need to be aware of that and careful not to start any additional fires,” she said.

The Ministry of Environment and Interior Health have issued a smoky skies advisory for Similkameen, Okanagan and Boundary areas.

Residents are cautioned to avoid strenuous out-door activities and should contact a health provider if they experience any of the following symptoms: difficulty breathing, chest pain or discomfort and sudden onset of cough or irritation of airways.

The Newby Lake fire has grown to more than 600 hectares in size.

Village towing illegal parkersReview Staff

The word is getting out that Keremeos isn’t the place to camp and illegally park your vehicle over-night.

“We used to have them camping in Pine Park all the time,” Kevin Aschoff the Keremeos bylaw enforcement officer said. “The word is getting around about what is allowed and what is not allowed and it’s really helping. It’s got a lot better.”

So far this year five vehicles have been towed by the village that were illegally parked overnight in places most often used by people camping down by the riverbed.

Each vehicle received a warning before being towed. When writing a warning, the bylaw enforce-ment officer records the vehicle model and licence plate number. If the same vehicle is in violation again it is then towed at the owner’s expense and depending on the infraction a ticket of $25 to $100 is issued.

“The vehicle is impounded. The owner has to come to the village office and pay any fines issued before we will authorize that the vehicle can be released,” he said.

All five owners have been very cordial despite their vehicle being towed.

“For the most part I’ve dealt with people it hasn’t escalated. People are pretty cordial and they under-stand if they get caught breaking well then this is going to happen,” he said.

Aschoff has removed just one person’s tent from Pine Park this year opposed to several in previous years.

Village council set aside an additional $4,000 in the budget for bylaw enforcement for 2015. At this point Aschoff said none of that money has been used.

“I haven’t had to work more... So far people have been pretty good obeying the laws. We haven’t had to put in too many extra hours,” he said.

The bylaw enforcement department is complaint driven.

Aschoff said at this time of year the most com-plaints he receives is in regards to property mainte-nance standards.

“We get a lot of complaints about unsightly prop-erties, people failing to maintain shrubs and grass and stuff like that,” he said.

High water temps killing fishReview Staff

Several fish kills caused by high temperatures in the water have been reported along the Similkameen River over the last few days.

The fish kills have prompted the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to currently review conditions throughout the south Okanagan, including the Similkameen River to see if angling closures are required.

It’s unknown if or when angling restrictions might be put in place, a spokesperson for the minis-try wrote to the Review in an email.

B.C. government fisheries biologists are monitor-ing approximately 75 key angling streams, including the Similkameen, across the province.

A Level 4 drought rating for Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands was announced July 3. Angling

in streams and rivers throughout southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands was suspended due to ongoing low stream flows and warming water tem-peratures.

Lake fishing is not affected by the order. Angling closures are enabled through the British Columbia Sport Fishing Regulations of the federal Fisheries Act.

Although residential, agricultural and industrial users within municipalities and regional districts backed by reservoir storage are less vulnerable to water supply shortages than water users served by smaller water systems from streams, lakes and wells, all water users are encouraged to observe local water conservation bylaws to prolong water supplies and to maintain flows for fish and ecosystems.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to Vancouver last week to unveil his environmental platform for the Oct. 19 federal election.

Trudeau promised an overhaul of the National Energy Board and a vaguely defined intention to work with provinces to impose a “price” on carbon dioxide emissions across the country.

Trudeau’s media tour took him to the Burnaby facilities of General Fusion, where, like Premier Christy Clark a few weeks before, he stood at his podium before a prototype fusion reactor. This mas-sive octopus of pistons and wires is an attempt to capture the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun and other stars, containing its fury within steel walls and magnetic fields.

The old joke about controlled fusion is that every 20 years, sci-entists tell us it’s just 20 years away. If it ever is developed, such a process could quickly put an end to our hand-wringing about fossil fuels, largely replacing them with endless, emission-free energy.

This is the type of technological revolution that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s officials indicated would be needed, after Canada announced a pledge with other G7 leaders to make their economies carbon-free by 2100. That’s right, some time within the next 85 years.

Clark visited General Fusion in May to announce her new cli-mate action advisory panel, which has to give her a plan to take to Paris next December. That’s the next big United Nations climate summit, where Trudeau hopes to lead a delegation of premiers to stop the flow of “fossil awards” given to Canada by people in polar bear suits.

Asked about the fusion reactor she had just toured, Clark laughed off the question, comparing it to the “flux capacitor” used for time travel in the Michael J. Fox movie Back to the Future. Trudeau recently told university students that we need to change our concepts of time and space, and he didn’t seem to be kidding.

The point here for voters is that all these leaders, Harper, Trudeau, Clark and many others, are talking down to you. You aren’t sophisticated enough to understand this climate business.

The Pope has weighed in, assuring us that car-bon trading systems are not going to cut it. This is a rebuke to California, Quebec and the European Union, where effective carbon trading is, like con-trolled fusion, just around the corner.

Pope Francis warned that our “throwaway cul-ture” views nature “solely as a source of profit and gain” and so people won’t voluntarily do the right thing. (The results of the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite could be interpreted this way, if you

ignore the bumbling, waste and political posturing that really did it in.)

The Pope concludes that there is “an urgent need” for a “true world political authority” to impose order on the greedy capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Presumably this would be the run by the UN, so my advice is to start hoarding candles and cat food now.

B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much effect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes.

Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacific Carbon Trust, which limps along after its near-death experience in 2013.

The trust continues to divert tax dollars from B.C. government operations to purported carbon-saving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved.

Outlook cloudy for climate policies

It’s incredible – the power we invest in a symbol like the fl ag.

Easy for flags to be top of mind now – with so many national flag waving opportunities on both sides of the border in the past week, to say nothing of all those rainbow banners.

The most compelling flag story of late is the beleaguered battle flag of the Southern Confederacy. Barack Obama thinks it belongs in a museum, Ebay won’t to sell it and even NASCAR is distancing itself as fast as it possibly can from a symbol that some defend as reflecting history and pride, and others see as promoting hate and racism.

Last week TV Land pulled the Dukes of Hazard from its line up, as the Stars and Bars figures promi-nently on the roof of the General Lee. Oh Beau. Oh Luke.

Hello crazy people, it’s just a flag. It’s actually less than that. It’s a scrap of polyester

that was very possibly stitched together in China by a seven-year-old working 14-hour shifts in a sweat shop for pennies a day. And there are people who say that flag has nothing to do with slavery.

The flag is an invitation to violence, claim its worst detractors, in the wake of a deadly shooting at the Mother Emanuel Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston. Nine people were shot and killed by a man who was previous photographed with the Confederate emblem.

Of course the correct way to prevent future trag-edies is for Wal-Mart to remove the flag from its shelves….while it continues to sell guns and ammu-nition.

The world is full of symbols that have been empowered to mean different things.

The best-known example is probably the swastika, adopted by the Nazi party in 1920. The “hooked cross” is actually a 5,000 year old sign of peace. To this day it is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism. It is a common sight on tem-ples or houses in India or Indonesia.

Understandably, others find it extremely offen-sive.

Just for giggles let’s look at one of British Columbia’s treasured symbols – its own provincial flag.

Adopted in its present form in 1960, the original flag had the Union Jack on the bottom, and this was changed to reflect the motto “the sun never sets on the British Empire.”

The British Empire conjurs a lot of images, not all of them benevolent. One needn’t go as far back as the War Between the States to document atrocities. In the 1950s tens of thousands of people died in British run concentration camps in China, Kenya and Cyress. Thirty million people were displaced in the ill consid-ered partitioning of India in 1947. In 1919, thousands of peaceful protestors – people wanting only freedom – were set upon in the infamous Amritsar Massacre. During the Boer War at the turn of the last century 20,000 Black Africans were captured and worked to death in slaves camps.

Really? The sun never sets on that stuff? Damn.The British Empire is also credited with great

and amazing things, promoting trade, infrastructure, and technological, medical and social advancements around the globe.

There are many ways to look at history. There are many ways to look at symbols.

Hate, racism and a shameful or prideful past do not live in a flag. They live in people. And that’s what we should be talking about. - AD

The Review Thursday, July 9, 2015 www.keremeosreview.com A 5

During 30 years in the newspaper busi-ness I’ve reported on cattle shows, car crash-es and everything in between.

But I’ve never seen anything quite like the BC Ambassador Program.

Nearly one year ago, shortly after arriv-ing on the shores of the Similkameen River, someone mentioned the importance of the ambassador event to communities in the region.

Rocking back on politically calloused heels, it’s possible I rolled my eyes.

A beauty pageant, eh? So when it’s noon in Vancouver it’s 1940 here in the valley.

It was an obnoxious point of view. Worse, it was inaccurate.

Following the contest this year at both the local and provincial level has been an eye-opening pleasure. There may be bouquets and crowns at the end of the day, but there is good, solid cake underneath all that icing.

The ambassador program demands a seri-ous commitment from its contestants, its busi-ness sponsors and volunteers. The emphasis for participants – demonstrated by various

tasks and at a plethora of events – is on personal improvement, education, human skills and giving back to the community.

In a world increasingly crowded with young people who can’t make eye contact with anyone over 30 and for whom forming a complete sen-tence is just a pie-eyed dream (I blame smartphones) each one of the participants I have met in the past few months has been a joy.

Noting my growing enthu-siasm for the program Mr. DeMeer slyly remarked “You’ve come a long way baby.”

This, to the woman who still occasionally butters a bowl of popcorn, unscrews a bottle of Pinot Grigio and watches back-to-back reruns of Toddlers and Tiaras just to feel like a good mother for two hours.

There are contests that are beautiful and then there are beauty contests.

About one hundred years ago, as a reporter

fresh out of journalism school working for the Ontario Farmer newspaper, I covered a variety of agricultural-related pageants – not to be confused with the aforementioned cattle shows. There were dozens of commod-ity groups in the province and each one annually crowned its own “ambassador.” There were princesses for eggs and milk and apples. Fine.

Those assignments came to an end after a memorable show-down in an editorial meeting.

News integrity and fledgling feminist thought went shoulder to shoulder with compassion.

The argument centered on running a picture of a newly crowned spokesperson. Doesn’t matter how many scholarships are involved. It would be wrong to photograph a stout farm girl wearing a banner proclaiming her Miss Ontario Hereford, and put in the newspaper.

The one pageant I entered – that was the

worst experience. The DeMeers were new and first-time

parents. As such it was understood we’d cre-ated a perfect child and she was duly entered in the local fair’s baby show.

Assured of victory, we mentally spent the prize money numerous times and counted heavily on that six-month supply of free dia-pers from the pharmacy.

The day of the contest there were more than two-dozen ugly babies on stage, along-side our own daughter.

Imagine the family’s shocked and hurt feelings when she wasn’t selected as the grand champion, wasn’t recognized as a runner up and didn’t even get an honorable mention.

The child who won couldn’t even sit up by herself, for crying out loud.

You call that a baby?The rest of the DeMeer children were

never entered in a baby show. I would heartily support, however, the younger off-spring considering the BC Youth Ambassador Program in coming years.

Program not a beauty contest, but a beautiful one

ANDREA DEMEER

Playing for life in a high stakes poker game

Art Martenslivingsignificantly.ca

I knew attempting to persuade Howie Smith to do anything was a lot like playing poker with a professional gambler. Before being sent to our camp in Hedley, he’d been in foster homes and group homes. Although only 15, he had decided that every worker’s goal was to change him. He had become adept at resisting change. His goal was to one day be sentenced to Matsqui Institution, a federal penitentiary where he’d heard his Dad was doing time.

On this July day, with the temperature in the high 30’s, a one inch thick steak placed on the hood of a car would have broiled in min-utes. As I walked toward the Lodge where our students ate lunch, I felt certain Howie would be waiting. His group was planning

to swim in the Similkameen River. Howie though, was assigned to kitchen duty in the Lodge today and I knew he’d resist this tena-ciously. I knew also the others would be keen observers as he argued his case. If Howie contrived to avoid kitchen duty they would employ his tactics when they wished to avoid an assignment. As program coordinator, the weight of this fell on me.

The Probation Officer’s background notes indicated no one had been able to control Howie to this time - not his mother, the school system, the probation officer, or the police.

He was too smart, focused and stubborn to be bribed. Too tough to feel threatened. And seemingly too insulated, at least to this time, to respond to love.

Walking briskly along the path to the Lodge, Howie and the others came into view.

They had finished lunch and were lounging languidly around the picnic tables under the tall pines, trying to escape the intense Hedley heat. Their equally over-heated leaders were talking quietly at another table.

Howie’s white kitchen garb contrasted sharply with his shiny black hair and dark skin. I plunked myself down on a table top and, as I had anticipated, he detached him-self from the little group and parked himself resolutely in front of me. Feet spread apart and arms folded across his chest, it seemed he wanted to intimidate me. Like most stu-dents, he had arrived here already a commit-ted smoker. Without shifting his intent gaze from my face, he inhaled deeply from his cigarette, gathering courage. He knew I wouldn’t roll over easily.

“I need to talk to ya!” he said, a distinct note of challenge already in his voice.

“Yes Howie, that’s why l came.”For a moment my response dis-

concerted him. Then, jerking his head toward the Lodge, he said “I don’t want to go back in there. Everyone’s going swimming in the river.”

Aware an attempt to persuade him would be frustrating and a waste of time for us both, I decided to take a calculated risk.

“Howie,” I said.“Ya.”“If your dad was here, I think

there’s something he’d really want to say to you.”

His eyes widened perceptibly. I was playing an unexpected card.

I had his attention, but, not want-ing to be conned, he silently scruti-nized me with great intensity. After an uncomfortable silence, I said qui-etly, “Howie, do you want to know what your dad would say?”

Brushing a fly from his arm, he relented. “Ya,” he said, “I do.”

Placing a hand on his shoulder, I lowered my voice and spoke as though to my own son. “Howie, I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. The one I regret most is walking away from the family. If I had been there when you needed me, your life would have been better.’’

A single tear trickled down Howie’s cheek. I continued, “Son, I always turned from the hard things. Never got strong. When I grew up, I

was afraid. Don’t be like me. The hard stuff will make you strong. For you there’s still time.” I paused, then said, “Howie, I haven’t told you this before, but I really do love you.”

Howie’s shoulder’s twitched involuntari-ly, as though the words had touched his soul. There was a straightening of the shoulders, an almost imperceptible nod.

“Thanks,” he said, then turned and walked back into the Lodge.

You could say Howie lost the poker game, but I’m pretty sure if you’d asked him, he would have said, “I won big.”

The benefits associated with shopping locally are many, and the following are just a few reasons why shoppers may want to look no further than their own communities when planning their next shopping excursions.

Keeps money in the local economyLocally-owned businesses often put a larger share of their revenue back into their communities. Small business owners may be more inclined to employ lo-cal residents, giving more people in the community solid employment. Business owners may reach out and support other neighborhood efforts, such as fund-raising initiatives for charities and schools. By shopping at local stores, you have a hand in supporting these efforts as well.

Save moneyWhen factoring in travel time and the cost of fuel, shopping locally makes more sense than driving to a faraway mall. In addition, repeat customers who establish a rapport with a local business owner may find that such owners are more inclined to price match or work with loyal customers to find lower prices through suppliers.

Diversify your home and lifestyleShoppers who prefer more unique styles may find local businesses cater to their needs better than large chain stores. Larger retailers offer the same products

to customers regardless of where those customers live. But local shops tend to produce more unique items that are not available nationwide.

Promote entrepreneurshipSmall businesses are an essential element to the country’s economic growth. By shopping locally, consumers are showing their support for this important seg-ment of the national economy.

Help establish local prideIndependent shops contribute to the fabric of a community and what makes it special and unique. Tourists and other visitors will be much more inclined to remember a local shop rather than a big chain in a particular neighborhood. When travelers want to get a feel for a community, they seek out small, local stores that are much more likely to stock a high percentage of locally-sourced goods.

Attract other businessesPrivate and public sector businesses tend to gravitate around anchor stores. Should a local store be successful, banks, restaurants, salons, and other busi-nesses may move in as well.Shopping locally benefits consumers in various ways, many of which contribute to a healthy local economy.

LOCALSCENEcheck out the

Many consumers prefer to buy locally when shopping. There are several advantages to choosing local products, includ-ing the benefit of aiding your local economy by supporting a business with roots in your community. Dealing with an individual or small enterprise instead of a billion-dollar operation is another reason people are drawn to local stores and businesses. Spring and summer are great times of year to shop locally, as the warmer weather facilitates strolling community shops and business districts. The following items are popular among consumers who emphasize buying local when making their purchases.

ProduceIf you desire fresher fruits and vegetables, then shopping locally is the way to go. According to Local Harvest, most produce is picked four to seven days before it reaches the supermarket shelves, and it might have traveled thousands of miles before landing on those shelves. A lot of produce is grown and imported from South and Central America, and such produce can take even longer to arrive on supermarket shelves. As a result, the flavor and freshness of fruits and vegetables shipped from afar might be compromised. The best way to get peak-season produce is to buy items that come from local providers.

Home servicesIf you’re in the market for a home renovation, using a local, licensed contractor is often the smart way to go. Rather than dealing with the red tape of a larger outfit that may subcontract its work, local busi-nesses are often more customer-service driven. What’s more, if ever a problem arises, it’s much easier to go into a local business and discuss concerns face-to-face instead of dealing with an unknown person answering phones at a corporate call center.

CraftsThe home-based arts and crafts industry has undergone a rebirth thanks to sites like Pinterest, Craftsy and Etsy. Many of the items of-fered in local shops are handmade by local artisans and not mass-pro-duced in overseas factories. Local artisans may be your best bet when shopping for unique arts and crafts full of detail and quality.

FoodDining out is a different experience when you select independent res-taurants over national chains. Chefs at independently owned restau-rants have a greater say over ingredients and menu choices than those at franchise establishments, and you may be introduced to foods you had never before dreamed of trying. Restaurants that team up with local food suppliers offer a double-dose of regional commerce and fresher ingredients. If you’re new to the area, browse the local newspa-per to find dining establishments in your area.

There are numerous benefits to shopping locally and ideal ways to get started in the Lower Similkameen.

No words can describe the grati-tude we feel to the people involved in assisting with the search for us. We would like to take this oppor-tunity to take the focus off us and put it more on the people who were instrumental in the search. Since our return we have heard endless stories about the large number of volunteers, the search teams, the volume of work involved and the selfless dedication and commitment of everyone had. The search coor-dinator involved family members to be at the search base site and be part of the process. We are so grate-ful as that allowed them to keep our Ontario family and friends up-to-date with accurate information.

On June 21st we arrived at Cathedral Lakes Lodge, on invitation from the owners/operators(names omitted), intend-ing to enjoy some hiking and lodge surroundings. The hiking opportu-nities are amazing and views are breathtaking.

On Monday the 22nd, we set out for a day hike and quite simply we made a huge costly mistake. We left the trail and within hours we were nowhere near where we were sup-posed to be and were totally lost in a thick wooded area. At that point, it was getting later in the day and we made a shelter for the night.

The next day we heard the heli-copters conducting a search so we

climbed to a higher location in order to be more visible and this is where we stayed for five days. We knew staying in one location was important as was staying hydrat-ed and sheltered. We watched the search helicopters from a distance for five days, hoping we would be seen, but realized the focus of the search was closer to areas we were supposed to be. So on day six, Saturday, we made the decision in

the evening that the next morning at first light we would start walk-ing back to the lodge. Fortunately, the route that we planned proved to be correct. Our plan was based on using position of the sun and the path it took as it travelled overhead. This really confirmed the direction we had to head for. It took most of the day, but we arrived at Cathedral lakes Lodge successfully in about 8.5 hours. Things happened very

quickly for us at that point. As we made our way to the Penticton Hospital, we talked with medical personnel, search personnel, heli-copter pilots, realizing the magni-tude of the whole search process.

We wish we had the chance to hug or shake hands with every person who contributed their time on our behalf. This has been a truly humbling experience.

We will always appreciate the

beauty of this area, the mountains and the amazing hiking, but we now recognize to be safe hikers, we need to be properly prepared. We have learned a valuable lesson and are overwhelmingly thankful to everyone who gave so much of their time.

Thank you.Lynne and Rick

To the Editor: Confrontations in public spaces like the Seniors Centre

cause a lot of embarrassment and shock for everyone involved.

Rumours that circle around town do harm when told with malice and intent to hurt others.

They can always be tracked back to the source in small communities and say more about the person that started the

rumour than the person it is about. I’m at a loss for words except to quote M. Scott Peck M.D.

Who wrote the book the People of the Lie and said that “Evil hates Good.”

The Review Thursday, July 9, 2015 www.keremeosreview.com A13NEWS

HOW IMPORTANT ARE BEES

Nectar of the GodsHoney differs in color and flavor depending on which blossoms the honey bees visit in search of nectar. Honey color ranges from almost colorless to dark amber brown and its flavor varies from delectably mild to richly bold. As a general rule, light-colored honey is milder in taste and dark-colored honey is stronger. A good beekeeper and honey producer takes great care in ensuring that the honey is as close to the comb as possible. Great care is also taken not to heat the honey more than necessary as honey easily burns altering the flavor and color as well as damaging the natural enzymes and micronutri-ents. Honey comes in a variety of forms including liquid, creamed, comb, and chunk. Liquid honey honey is extracted from the honeycomb by centrifugal force. Creamed honey is finely crystallizes so that it remains creamy and spreadable. Comb honey is honey that comes as it is found in the hive, right in the beeswax honeycomb.Storing and handling honeyHoney naturally crystallizes over time becoming hard. The speed of transformation depends on the flower blossom. Crys-tallization doesn’t change the characteristics of honey except for the degree of solidity. The taste and health benefits are the same. To slow down crystallization, keep honey at room temperature or freeze what is not in use. The best way to re-liquify honey is to gently heat it in a double boiler. Be careful not to heat it more than 40 degrees C. The honey degrades, the taste is altered and the antimicrobial properties and health benefits are reduced. Avoid heating up the honey in a microwave since it can easy burn the honey and alter the enzymes in it. As you heat the honey, stirring speeds up the process and reduces the chance of burning.Can humans survice without bees?There are many scientific studies are done to determine who kills bees, butterflies, birds and this subject is highlighted by many articles in magazines and on the internet. Globalreseach.com published an article March 2008 and August 2011 with the title “Death of Bees” with this comment:“The Einvironmental impact of sacrity and increased rampant disease is not fully understood and if so, is kept silent by these conglomerates. The economic impact of the bee colony collapse would mean inflation, scarity of agricultural com-modities, and ultimate the collapse of the North American agricultural commodities and ultimate the collapse of the North American agriculture. The economic impact that the scarity of bees will potential have on us as a whole is very worrisome. In the end, only our children will fully realize that it was the greed that destroyed our beautiful blue planet!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.

ALLERGY MEDICATIONJust a reminder that if you are taking medication to control your allergy symptoms, try not to miss doses, especially if your allergy season lasts weeks or months. The effectiveness of the allergy pill depends on the level circulating in the bloodstream. Most allergy medications last 12 to 24 hours then need to be repeated to keep blood levels up and allergy symptoms down.

DIET AND ALZHEIMER’S DISEASEIt has been found that a diet low in meat and high in vegetables may lower the risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease. This has been called the Mediterranean diet and includes olive as the main source of fat, fish and “a little wine”. Regular vigorous exercise is also an important feature in reducing Alzheimer’s risk.

DO YOU NEED A MULTI-VITAMIN?Many people take a multi-vitamin pill every day and some may not need it. But there are certain persons that do. These include dieters, strict vegetatians, women who are pregnant or are trying to become pregnant, those with intestinal conditions that impair the absorption of nutrients and finally people who have very poor diets or don’t eat enough. The elderly are included in this group.

PROTECT YOUR EYES TOO...Don’t forget to protect your eyes from the sun’s rays. It is the UVB rays that can cause cataracts in the eyes. A cataract is a condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. Use sunglasses when out in the sun for any length of time. This is also important for children who have a lifetime of sun exposure ahead of them.The members of our staff are our greatest asset in our pharmacy. Let one of them serve you soon!

This summer, the Grist Mill and Gardens Provincial Historic Site plays host to a series of enchanting outdoor evening concerts featuring some exceptional music acts. The series, now in its third year, con-tinues to grow, with a total of eight concerts this summer.

This year’s series features:July 16 - 100 Mile HouseAn exceptional indie/folk group

from Edmonton who’ve won tons of regional music awards for their beautiful harmonies, rich arrange-ments and captivating lyrics. We’re thrilled to invite them back for a second time.

July 24 - Lester QuitzauThis roots and blues artist from

the Gulf Islands has earned two Junos for his constant invention, trademark groove and sweeping blues vocabulary.

Aug 1 - The Sweet LowdownFrom Victoria, this award-win-

ning acoustic roots trio is sure to impress. If their exceptional three-part harmonies don’t charm you, their old-time instrumental groove will.

Aug 4 - Rakish AnglesA talented quartet from the

Sunshine Coast with fiddle, mando-lin, upright bass and guitar, playing an exceptional fusion of bluegrass, latin, gypsy-jazz and more.

Aug 14 - Tony McManusThis Scottish-born prodigy is

often referred to as the best Celtic guitarist in the world, coaxing intri-cate melodies and harmonies from his acoustic guitar. Not to be missed!

Aug 20 - Pharis and Jason Romero

Featuring their own hand-crafted banjos and vintage acoustic guitars, this rootsy husband and wife duo from Horsefly, BC radiate with their life-long love and obsession with music.

Aug 29 - Bill BourneAn 8-time Juno award nominee

and winner, this veteran of the blues and roots scene will impress with the diversity of his influences and his incredible depth of experience.

Sept 9 - Scott Cook and the Second Chances

Our favourite prairie balladeer is back for a third season after travel-

ing the world, this time with his band.

More information on each artist is available on the Grist Mill website at www.oldgristmill.ca.

Again this year, the Grist Mill’s Executive Chef, Natasha Shooten, will be preparing delicious picnic-style dinners beginning at 5:30 p.m. for each show, while doors open for non-dinner patrons at 6:30 p.m. and concerts start at 7:00 p.m..

Patrons are encouraged to bring their own blankets and low-rise beach chairs; higher lawn chairs are also welcome, but they may be asked to sit in the back to avoid obstructing the view of others.

Tickets for all shows are avail-able for sale at the Grist Mill front desk ($20 per show, or $120 for all eight), on the website at www.old-gristmill.ca or by phone at 250-499-2888 during business hours (daily 9 AM-5 PM). Some tickets may also be available at the door for each show, depending on availability, but a small surcharge will apply.

Grist Mill gears up for another musical summer

Local artist lands first book cover deal


It’s only fitting Dwayne Woloshyn’s first commercially published painting would be a cover for a book that binds together work from other artists.

Woloshyn’s painting Cityscape was chosen as the cover of Voice to Voice, a collaborative anthol-ogy of poetry and music.

The joint project includes writ-ing by the Downtown Eastside writers from the Thursdays Writing Collective and composers from the UBC School of Music.

“Dwayne Woloshyn’s painting ‘Cityscape’ is the perfect visual metaphor of two voices, the writ-er and the composer, working in collaboration in an urban setting and also the broader idea of trans-formation which is at the core of this project,” said Doris Cheung art director and designer.

Woloshyn painted ‘Cityscape’ in 2011 while residing in Olalla.

The South Similkameen Arts Society member drew on the ener-gy of cities he’s left behind over the years to create the colourful vibrant painting.

“It’s interesting because it’s all energy. It was just energy I was feeling. But when people involved with the book saw it they saw musical vibrations,” he said.

A book launch was held in mid April in Vancouver at the Lost and Found Cafe.

More than 100 people attend-ed, most of which Woloshyn had never met before.

“It was a room full of writers and musicians. Until then I had not met anyone involved in the book. Immediately everyone was coming up to me hugging and thanking me. It really was that feeling of camaraderie. It felt like I knew these people for a long-time,” he said.

The 108-page book consists of more than 60 poems and 11 art songs, which is a poem set to music.

The Thursdays Writing Collective includes about 20 writers who meet each week from September to June at the

Carnegie Centre in the downtown east side of Vancouver.

This is the collective’s seventh book.

Woloshyn will be selling cop-ies of the book at the Similkameen

W i n e r i e s

Association signature event the BBQ King being held Saturday at the Grist Mill and Gardens.

Or visit his website for more information about the book at http://www.dwaynewoloshyn.portfoliobox.me.

Tara Bowie Local artist Dwayne Woloshyn holds a copy of the book Voice to Voice. His painting Cityscape was selected to be book’s cover. The book includes writing by the Downtown Eastside writers from the Thursdays Writing Collective and composers from the UBC School of Music.
