Review Staff Another break and enter at an area fruit

stand has the police appealing for the pub-lic’s assistance in identifying the person or people responsible.

After several other break ins at Keremeos fruit stands, a thief or thieves tried to pick off Harkers Fruit Stand in Cawston September 24.

At about 2:45 a.m. last Thursday a suspect or suspects entered the fruit stand through a side door.

An alarm at the business scared the culprit(s) off.

It’s unknown if anything was taken from the fruit stand.

This is the fourth break in at an area fruit stand in the last few months.

Sanderson’s fruit stand was the last to be broken into just a few weeks ago. An undisclosed amount of cash and other items were taken.

It is unknown if the thefts are related. If you have any information that

can help this investigation please call CRIMESTOPPERS at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or the Keremeos RCMP at 250-499-5511.

Youth rehabilitation facility reopening not a done dealTara Bowie

Review Staff Addicted youth and their families will be left out

in the cold as plans to reopen the treatment facility outside Keremeos won’t be decided or implemented before the end of 2015.

It turns out the Regional District Okanagan-Similkameen communications team misstepped when sending out a release last week stating the Minister of Health Terry Lake hoped The Crossing would be open by the beginning of 2016.

In an email exchange with the Review the Ministry of Health stated there is no timeline for the reopening of the facility but that discussions with stakeholders are underway.

It was also stated that a model of care had not yet been decided and hiring a new operator isn’t even in the works yet.

The facility has sat empty for more than six months since previous operator Portage abruptly ceased operations in March 2015.

Spokespersons from both Portage and the prov-ince stated at the time that budget issues and proper-ly trained staff were the main reasons for the closure.

The facility opened in 2009 on a 58-acre prop-erty located approximately six kilometres west of Keremeos.

Central City Foundation, a Vancouver based charity, originally bought the property in 2000 with the goal of fundraising to have the property upgrad-ed to a teen addictions rehabilitation facility.

It took almost 10 years for the foundation to raise $6.5 million needed for renovations and for partner-ships between the government and an operator to be secured.

The province leased the property for free from Central City Foundation until May of this year – about three months after Quebec-based company Portage pulled out of operating the facility.

“We’ve been having a lot of meet-ings trying to get things back on track. We’re hearing from BC families that there is a need for a longer term live in program for younger people,” Jennifer Johnstone, Central City Foundation president and CEO said during a phone interview with the Review. “Here we have a beautiful site that is costing the foundation a lot to keep it empty. We want the government to use it.”

The foundation is currently paying a caretaker to stay at the property and all the utility bills to ensure the cold weather doesn’t ruin the buildings.

Johnstone said the foundation’s vision remains the same – using the property to help youth battling addic-tions issues.

Although discussions are still pre-liminary, Johnstone said there’s been talk of turning the 42-bed facility from youth focussed to helping clients that are over 19.

“The original vision (when it opened in 2009) was to serve a group of 14 to 24 and there continues to be a great deal of need throughout that age group, but in order to meet licensing requirements in the province there is a division at 19. You can only be

licensed for under or over 19,” she said.

The crossing was previously licensed to help youth aged 13 to 18. Predominantly the clients were aged 16 to 18 years of age.

“We aren’t looking at adults I think we’re talking about 19 to 24 instead of 13 to 18 (years of age),” she said.

Although the Review sent several questions to the Ministry of Health regarding timeframe of reopening, cli-ent ages, licensing requirements, and possible employment opportunities we were told it was too early in the process to have any of those answers.

“These decisions are still under discussion, and will be made based on evidence about what model will deliv-er the best outcomes for patients,” an email from the Ministry of Health stated.

“While planning for replacement services is underway, the ministry and PHSA are working with health author-ities to support young people requir-ing live-away ‎substance use services. Funding that would have been used to pay for services provided at the Crossing is being used to support local health authorities as needed, so any youth waiting for services receives the care they need.”

At this time there are at least two live in addiction rehabilitation pro-grams currently operating in the prov-ince - PEAK House in Vancouver and Nechako in Prince George.

New roof costs $12,000 at Cawston Hall Tara Bowie

Review Staff The roof, the roof, the roof was

on fire - at some point in the build-ing’s that make up Cawston Hall.

When workers were ripping off shingles from the roof of the Cawston Hall last week it was dis-covered some time ago there had been a fire in the building.

“There were burnt roof boards. You can tell quite a bit about a building when you take off the shingles. I don’t know when the fire would have been but there defi-nitely was one at some point,” Glen Pearson of Nelsen Roofing and Scrap Metal in Penticton said while packing up for the day.

Pearson and fellow employee Jared Northrop could also tell that the hall was made of several dif-ferent buildings put together over time.

“You can tell the additions were done at different times. The con-struction is different and actually the framing is very different,” he said.

Bob McAtamney, member of

the Cawston Hall Society, said he’d heard of a fire before but wasn’t sure when it happened.

But he acknowledged the hall was definitely made of several buildings.

The Cawston Hall is made up of several buildings. The main large hall was built in 1922. A second portion of the building was added in the mid 1950s when the commu-nity’s two-room school house was closed across the street from the hall. The school house was moved in two sections and attached to the main hall.

The roof was desperately in need of redoing this year. Leaks had been found in the building and they had started to cause some damage.

The cost of the new roof is about $12,000.

“It’s a difficult roof. There’s so many peaks and valleys,” McAtmney said.

The hall is also facing some water problems of a different kind. The hall is currently under a boil water order as the coliform levels are too high.

Tests are being done and it’s possible a UV filter system will have to be put in.

The hall is also facing a decline in rentals since the Lower Similkameen Indian Band opened

its new facilities. The band often rented the hall for meetings and other events.

“We’re working on things. We’re not sure how we’ll end up yet for this year. We do know it is

most important to the community,” he said.

The Cawston Hall Society is always looking for new volunteers.

Answer to advance votingSo here’s something you might not be able to

find online. As of Tuesday night at 9 p.m. you could go to

the Elections Canada website and find out when the advance polls are but you couldn’t find out where.

It’s a good thing the Review made a quick call to the Returning Officer on Monday to confirm the advanced voting location.

2012, advance voting is being held Friday, Oct. 9, Saturday, Oct. 10, Sunday, Oct. 11, and Monday Oct. 12.

All of the advance voting is taking place at the Keremeos Royal Canadian Legion Branch #192. Advance voting can be done between 12 p.m. and 8 p.m each day.

Make sure you are registered to vote by going www.elections.ca or (our suggestion) calling 1-800-463-6868.

Taste of our Valley weeks away Review Staff

It’s almost time to get those taste buds tingling. Plans are well underway for the 19th annual Taste of Our Valley being held October 17 at Victory Hall.

“This is one of our most popular events,” Chris Mathieson, chair of Similkameen Country Chamber of Commerce. “It’s all about local. Local food, local wines and showcasing what we have here.”

The event pairs foods grown right in the Valley with local chefs and food preparers and local wine.

Each year the event draws huge crowds and

allows local a chance to meet up with neighbours and friends they haven’t seen in awhile and also to remind them what is available right in their own backyards.

“Sometimes we get busy and we forget how lucky we are to have all the things we have in our valley,” he said.

The event kicks off at 5:30 p.m. and goes until 7:30 p.m. Tickets are just $7 at the door.

Anyone wanting more information about the event can contact the InfoCentre at 250-499-5225.

Rivers now reopened for fishing The B.C. government has lifted its fishing ban

in the Okanagan region, joining most areas of the South Coast region where fishing was reopened earlier this week.

Fishing is reopened on the Similkameen, Kettle, Middle Shuswap and Okanagan River mainstem, after rain and cooler water temperatures reduced the risk to fish stocks.

In the South Coast region, the Seymour and Coquihalla Rivers remain closed, due to barrier restrictions from rockslides that restrict upstream migration of steelhead.

The restrictions and reopening are co-ordinated with Fisheries and Oceans Canada regulations for migratory salmon.

Which organ will you vote

with?At the risk of stating the wholly obvious, women are

women.And they should vote like women.Women as a voting or special interest group have been

largely overlooked in this election campaign. That’s sur-prising as there are more women than men in Canada, and women are more likely to vote than men. One has to shake her head and wonder why the politicians of the day aren’t out there offering massages, manis and pedis to secure this critical demographic.

Some politically correct rhetoric suggests that because women are equal members of society they shouldn’t get to have their own issues.

That makes perfect sense until you decide that women are NOT equal members of Canadian society and baby, there’s a long way to go.

Consider the 2015 Status of Women Report, a document the federal government wanted to keep under wraps so badly it had to be requested under the Freedom of Information Act by CBC News.

According to the report Canada is in the basement when it comes to the pay gap between men and women. Canadian women are paid only 80 per cent of what men earn, and of 34 OECD countries only South Korea, Japan and Germany score worse.

Poverty rates are on the rise for single elderly women and single parent families led by women, in Canada.

In addition, Canada lacks a national strategy to address violence against women, falling behind comparable countries like the UK, Ireland and Australia.

According to the World Economic Forum, Canada ranks an embarrassing 42nd in the world when measuring the gender gap in politics – with one woman in parliament for every three men.

If that’s equality the feds can give it to someone else.It is inescapable truth that financial and social policies

affect women uniquely in many ways. If you doubt that try to remember the last time you heard a man discuss Canada’s oppressive need for a national childcare policy.

The Conservatives’ record on women’s issues is so fla-grantly horrid it is no wonder the Prime Minister has twice blown off opportunities to debate policies impacting women on a national stage.

If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything all….A short sample of programs defunded by the Harper

government includes The Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women, the National Association of Women and the Law, The BC Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health, and The Child Care Advocacy Federation. The Conservatives also shuttered 75 per cent of Status of Women offices.

When pressed on women-centric policies by Chatelaine magazine Harper said, among other things, that the issue of missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls has already been “studied to death” (Poor choice of words, to say the least.) He acknowledged that only 18 per cent of his party’s candidates for election are women, the fewest among the four parties. After claiming that more than 40 per cent of the government’s senior executives are women he said, bizarrely “it’s nothing but positive. The one observation I would make is I think for whatever reason women are often less aggressive in pushing themselves forward, and not for any good reason that I have seen.”

Presumably a politician would never think of assigning such a stereotype to a racial or religious group. It is equally wrong to apply it to women.

With no record to defend the other leaders come out stronger on some women’s issues. Tom Mulclair and Justin Trudeau both recently declared themselves to be feminists and the NDP is promising to – literally – turn the Senate into a day care centre.

The Liberals have been strong on social policy, insisting that members of caucus must support abortion and same-sex marriage. While Elizabeth May has actually been accused of having an “anti-feminist” approach to family law she points to the Green’s pledge to restore funding to Status of Women offices and other programs for women, as well as developing child care policies that are “holistic.”

On election day some people will vote with their hearts. Some people will vote with their brains.

It’s perfectly okay to vote with your uterus, too.

BC ViewsTOM FLETCHER

Inner children take over city hallWe’re seeing the effects of

our post-literate, feelings-based education system and media on the federal election. Candidate bozo eruptions are becoming more frequent.

Most recently a Liberal candidate on Vancouver Island admitted she has long believed that hijacked jetliners could not have destroyed the World Trade Centre on 9-11, that it was all “a lie.” That was “my truth,” she said, in the lingo of the feelings-first, inner-child crowd.

Now she’s “moved on” to a slightly different fact-free con-clusion, that we’ll just never know how those 3,000 people were murdered. And she wants to go to Ottawa and help run this country.

Feelings-based beliefs were on display again at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver, where bozo eruptions by local politicians come in bunches.

This year’s main outbreak was an emotional demand that the B.C. government enact a provincial bill of rights. This magic municipal Magna Carta “recognizes the right of every resident to live in a healthy environment, including the

right to clean air, clean water and vibrant eco-systems.”

Alert taxpay-ers may won-der, how many lawyers would it take to define “vibrant”? More on that in a moment.

Local coun-cils across B.C. and around the country have been pitched this scheme by the David Suzuki Foundation, which calls it the Blue Dot campaign. In short, it’s part of the bigger plan to save the planet by crushing capitalism, currently being pushed by the Pope, the UN and others.

Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps was one of the most passion-ate backers. She quoted the plea presented to her council by an 11-year-old recruited by the Blue Dot team.

There are many such chil-dren, terrified by indoctrination about the imminent destruction of Earth and all its cuddly crea-tures that has bombarded them since they learned to speak. They are found in the wealth-iest countries in human his-

tory, those enjoy-ing health, comfort and opportunity not imagined by any-one 100 years ago.

In the vast, air-conditioned hall of the Vancouver Convention Centre, there were several attempts at adult supervision.

C o q u i t l a m Coun. Terry

O’Neill noted that unlike intrinsic rights articulated in Canada’s charter, freedom of assembly and so forth, this is an attempt to invent new rights that are actually demands for “others to do something for you.”

Indeed, if we’re going to have government by 11-year-olds, we might as well throw in a right to free ice cream.

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz went off on a rant about how this new “vision” would protect us from things like Volkswagen fiddling its diesel fuel emission results.

The resolution calls for “access to justice when envi-ronmental rights are infringed,” which sounds like code for some sort of costly new legal

aid program to pursue every individual grievance.

Meanwhile in the real world, class action lawsuits are being prepared to gain compensation for lost resale value of millions of cars. This is what happens in fortunate places like Canada that already have access to jus-tice.

O’Neill read off a long list of existing B.C. legislation that protects water, air, wildlife, food, public health and so on. Helps replied that this bill of rights would “consolidate” all that. One more layer of bureau-cracy, that’s the Victoria spirit.

Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb pleaded with rural del-egates to reject this “David Suzuki propaganda” that is designed to put more road-blocks in the way of the very resource industries that provide our modern comforts.

Alas, the resolution passed in a show of hands that should have been, but wasn’t, put to a counted vote.

This past Sunday my friend Mark Lamont of Burnaby participated in a team climb of the Grouse Grind to raise funds for Alzheimer’s research and services.

On the same day a group of climbers assembled at Base Camp on the 5,895 metre high Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to mount an assent, also to raise Alzheimer’s research funds.

Except in winter months, Mark has been training on the 2.9 kilometre Grind every second day. Over the past three years he has done more than 200 climbs and has taken part in the Alzheimer’s Climb each year

At age 52, he is physically fit, without an ounce of flab. In one climb he was surprised by an unanticipated blizzard. He’s extraordi-narily determined and it didn’t stop him. For the Sunday Grind, participants were divided into teams of 7. Each team’s combined climbs amounted to approximately the same elevation as Mt. Kilimanjaro. With a time of 38 min.1 sec., Mark recorded the fastest climb this Sunday.

“I began doing it when I learned that a person very close to me was showing symp-toms of Alzheimer’s,” he said. “I want to do something to help find a cure. If we do noth-ing, the situation will not get better.”

According to a brochure I picked up at the Alzheimer Society, Alzheimer’s is the most common of a large group of disorders known as dementias. It is an irreversible disease of the brain in which the progressive

degeneration of brain cells causes thinking ability and memory to deteriorate. Currently about 70,000 British Columbians are suffer-ing from some form of dementia.

Most of us know at least one person with the illness. We’ve seen victims held in its vice-like talons, being drawn relentlessly into a puzzling maze where there exists chaos and sometimes sheer mayhem. Like a heartless vampire, it sucks the life from loving rela-tionships.

Not long ago, my friend Henry experi-enced the devastating impact Alzheimer’s can have on a relationship. On a cold winter day he walked into his wife’s room in an Alzheimer’s unit of an extended care facil-ity. The puzzled expression on her face told him immediately she was confused by his presence. “Who are you?” she asked. He explained he was her husband and they had been married 42 years. “No,” she said emphatically, “you are not my husband.” Pointing at a photo of a young army officer on her dresser, she said, “that is my husband.” The disease had placed a veil between her and reality. He could not help her understand he was the young man in the photo taken 41 years ago.

For me a line in one of the pamphlets was personally disquieting. “In a population in which one parent has Alzheimer’s,” it said, “five of every 100 individuals can expect an Alzheimer’s diagnosis by about age 65.” I find this troubling because my mother was given a dementia diagnosis in the last year of her life. Does this mean one day I might be

one of those five?To this time the complexity of the brain

has prevented major breakthroughs. Research has however produced several medications that can help with symptoms such as declin-ing memory, language, thinking ability and motor skills. The Alzheimer Society says earlier diagnosis can mean treatments are started in the early stages.

The Society recommends a healthy life-style to help the brain maintain connections and even develop new ones. Challenging the brain and keeping it active is important. “Try

something new,” the Society suggests, “and change routines. Take up a new interest such as learning a language or playing an instru-ment. Be socially and physically active.”

The Society stresses the importance of protecting the head by wearing a helmet in contact sports and other activities.

Mark told me funds raised through the MKGG (Mt. Kilimanjaro Grouse Grind) will help ensure that people whose lives have been impacted by any of the dementias can connect to a province-wide network of sup-port services and education programs.

Anyone desiring further information can go to www.alzheimerbc.org. To support Mark in raising funds, go to www.hikem-kgg.com and click on “donate”. This will take you to the “Search for a Participant” page. Type in Mark Lamont and follow instructions.

For me a donation is a welcome way of making a positive difference without expos-ing my human frailty on the remorseless Grouse Grind.

One of the realities of living in British Columbia’s interior that continues to challenge and amaze the DeMeer family is this – in many cases there is only one way to get anywhere else.

Frankly I’m convinced there are places in this province you can’t get to, period. Imagine just over the next mountain, a pocket of civilization where villagers live hermit style with-out automobiles or debit cards or even...gasp…FaceBook.

If you feel that idea is far-fetched you need to be remind-ed that just last week residents of Alert Bay on Cormorant Island told the media they are convinced they can hear a Sasquatch howling at night.

British Columbia has more reports of Big Foot than any other province – 130 recorded sightings between 1924 and 2013.

Just sayin’.Our first inkling about the

unique nature of travelling in remote areas occurred just over a year ago, on the very last leg of the trans-Canada journey to Princeton from southwestern Ontario.

We stopped in Hedley and met a kindly gentleman operat-ing a general store who proudly proclaimed that Highway 3 is the only road through BC’s southern interior. You can’t get to the coast without passing right in front of this store, he said.

Still very much using an “Ontario brain” my first

thought was that Hedley would be an awesome spot for a Tim Hortons.

I get now that probably wouldn’t work.

The inconvenient nature of driving here was brought home with more force a few weeks later, while heading out Highway 5A towards Merritt, to do a little weekend trout fishing.

The journey ended about halfway to Dry Lake in a line of cars idling before a very large tree that had fallen across the road. (Maybe it was pushed over by a Sasquatch.)

There was clearly no way to remove the tree without some heavy equipment and after about ten minutes of fretting we were forced to turn around and go home.

This did not sit well with the young fishermen in the back seat, who – still using Ontario brains – insisted there must be some other way to get to the water.

Take another a road.Can’t you just turn some-

where?There HAS to be some other

road to Dry Lake.Only there isn’t.Born and raised in a place

where there are innumerable paths to every destination – another highway, take that exit, just a kilometer back there has to be a concession – the notion that “you can’t get there from here” was suddenly more to them than a joke on Corner Gas.

And it happens all the time, most notably here on Highway 3 where a logging truck roll-over or a rockslide can back up traffic for hours with no chance of escape. Drivers seem resigned to this phenomenon. They get out of their cars and rubberneck, smoke and chat good-naturedly with other motorists. Experiencing a traf-fic delay in the interior is a little like being at home when the electricity goes out. Everything you are doing and every plan you have just gets put on hold and you might as well light the candles and make the best of it. It’s like a mini holiday.

Of course, just because Ontario has more pavement than BC has Big Foot sightings does not mean that province is immune to traffic interruptions. Anyone who has even occa-sionally driven into Toronto on one of the 400 Highways knows what it is like.

Eight lanes of traffic in both directions, bumper to bumper and travelling at 120 km and hour and all of sudden the road

ahead is a cresting river of brake lights. God help you if you are in the middle of reading a text message.

You inch ahead every five minutes or so. A lane to the right flows a little steadier and like lemmings everyone rushes to force their way in. That lane immediately becomes a park-ing lot and the one you just exited moves ahead. No one gets out of their cars to pass the time of day, which is probably a good thing given general frus-tration levels.

As quickly as it begins, it passes. The traffic moves and you prepare for the most mad-dening part of the experience. There is never an explanation. You never get the satisfaction of seeing the tree across the highway.

You crane and peer and shake your head and can’t locate a reason for what you just went through.

Call me heartless. After sit-ting motionless on the highway for an hour, missing lunch, late for a meeting and desperate to pee, I don’t want to see car-nage. I could be made happy with a bit of twisted metal, though.

Don’t tell me that entire episode was caused by people slowing down to watch some-one change a tire.

Well. Ontario makes people a little crazy.

On balance, I much prefer Highway 5A to Merritt, and just getting to turn around and go home.

Letters to the Editor

Communities should power utilities To the Editor:

Last Friday we received a Final Notice from Fortis BC to have our locked analog meter replaced with a smart meter with either the radio signal on or off, or they will disconnect our power immediately.

We wanted to keep our analog meter because of all the negative effects of the smart meters.

Smart meters are known to cause fires, wrong measuring (too much), shorter service life than ana-log meters, vulnerability by hackers and being asso-ciated with negative health effects including cancer.

We always paid our bills on time. The price went up from an average of -.0803 cents/kwh in 2008 to -.1314 cents until Sept. 2015, an increase of 63.62 % and equals about 8% per year.

Who gets a wage raise like that every year??We immigrated from Germany 22 years ago

thinking we move from one democratic country to another one. In Germany customers have a choice between different power suppliers and the meter is read once a year by the owner of the residence.

Canada has changed to become a dictatorship of the corporations.

The BC utilities commission (BCUC) is sup-posed to independently control/regulate the activi-ties of Fortis, BC Hydro and ICBC. How can they allow price increases like that? They are rather a puppet than a control organization of our elected politicians and the corporations.

Utility services must be put under communi-ties control. A locally controlled energy system would be concerned with public interest not profits and money earned in the sale of energy should be returned to the communities rather than lost to shareholders.

Fortis is using its monopoly to force us to accept everything as they please and our politicians do nothing about it.

On Oct. 19th we have a federal election and we urge every voter to ask their candidate whether he/she supports big business (oligarchy) or will bring back the power to us the citizens (democracy).

Our troops don’t need to fight terrorists abroad. They are right here in Canada and wear white col-lars and ties.

A seminar will be presented by Dr. Malcolm Paterson - a renowned industry- independent oncol-ogist in the Summerland IOOF Hall, 9536 Main Str., this Wednesday, September 30th at 7.00 pm.

This seminar will provide facts the general pub-lic is not going to be informed about either by utili-ties or regulative authorities.

Hansjoerg and Erika Hoeger

To the Editor:I would like to commend Mr. Art Martens on his well written

article “Cenotaphs a reminder that vigilance is still needed” ( The Keremeos Review, Aug 20, 2015 ).

Mr. Martens was referring to a ceremony that took place last month, at the Cenotaph in Hedley, which was to commemorate the fact that almost exactly 100 years ago seventeen men departed from that spot and enlisted in the Canadian military. This would, of course, have been in the early years of the first world war. Today however with our country not being at war for many decades, and for the most part as Canadians lead fairly comfort-able lives, it is possible to lose sight of the fact that there are still threats to our security and way of life. Unlike those WW1 soldiers who could easily see the enemy from their trenches in the battle-fields of northern Europe, today what is much less visible to us are those individuals and groups at the highest levels of political and financial power that can create policies which could adversely impact us.

Witness the fact that prime minister Stephen Harper, just this summer, entered into highly secretive talks with 12 other nations about issues surrounding trade.

This was the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations. While it appears no final agreement was reached, on the table for discussions were issues around prolonging patent protec-tions and if this is applied to drugs the cost of prescription drugs would go up in Canada (is this something we want our prime minister to bring home?). As well the labouring sectors in each of the involved countries would be put in competition with each other lowering wages overall. Publicly owned institutions such as Canada Post, CBC and other public entities would be privatized. Everything would serve the interests of the large multinational corporations (our new Big Brother). Distressing to me was the fact our prime minister was willing to enter into theses talks without due parliamentary debate.

One other sector where the government has shown destructive leadership (or better put lack of leadership) is the area of health care. Basically the federal government for the past decade has walked away from any kind of constructive collaboration with the provinces on health matters. As was expressed in a recent well read Canadian medical journal.

“It has dithered on public health measures of

obvious benefit such as tobacco control, asbestos elimination, ignored and disbanded advisory panels on health issues, weak-ened the authority of the public health agency, muzzled scien-tists, eliminated the long form census (which helped to provide regional information on health issues), eroded research support and then tying what remains to business interests rather than health benefits,”(CMAJ, Sept 8, 2015).

You can bet as the election campaign wears on that Mr. Harper will be portrayed as the only leadership candidate that can really keep us safe. Let me jump back to Mr. Martens description of the Cenotaph in Hedley. He states that cenotaphs are a reminder of those who fought for our country and a reminder that vigilance for our safety is still needed. I think vigilance is definitely required especially with respect to the movements of our federal govern-ment. Do you really think a vote for Mr. Harper will keep safe our way of life and serve our best interests?

KNOW THE pHACTS! WHY IS HEALTHY pH IMPORTANT?

One of the principles of Naturopathic Medicine is to identify the root cause of a person’s condition or disease in order to achieve full and complete healing. To do this, Naturopathic Physicians work with the patient to gather information on their symptoms, lifestyle habits, stress levels and environmental factors. One of the most important pieces of the puzzle, and one that some people are completely unaware of, is the role our pH plays in our overall health.What is pH?pH (potential of Hydrogen) is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution and its hydrogen-ion concentration. Using a scale of 0-14, 7.0 is considered neutral and any value greater than 7.0 is alkaline, and values less than 7.0 are considered acidic. Pure water, to note, has a neutral pH of 7.0.What is a healthy pH?Your pH can be tested through blood, urine and saliva, with saliva being the most convenient and blood/urine sometimes being the most accurate. A normal urine pH averages about 6.0, while saliva should have a pH between 6.0 and 7.4. When the pH falls below this range, the body tries to buffer (alkalinize) the acids in attempt to keep the pH stable. When this balance is compromised, the body is susceptible to disease.How do we become acidic?One of the main reasons we become acidic, or develop acidosis, is due to our typical Western diet, which tends to be high in acid-producing animal products and lower in alkaline-producing fruits and vegetables. Coffee and soft drinks, refined flours and sugars, artificial sweeteners, and some medications can also lead to acidosis. Aside from an acidic diet, emotional stress, toxic overload, immune reactions or any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients, can also result in an acidic pH.Why is a healthy pH important?Unless the body’s pH level is slightly alkaline, the body cannot heal itself. Acids build up in the connective tissue, and in order to buffer the pH, the body will ‘borrow’ alkalinizing minerals, such as calcium, from bone and vital organs to achieve balance. This can result in osteoporosis, as well as other conditions including, but not limited to, digestive problems, allergies, insomnia, migraines, vitamin/mineral malabsorption, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer.

Getting to the root cause of a condition is addressing any imbalances hindering one’s optimal health. Know your pH and implement appropriate dietary and lifestyle changes to optimize its levels to help create an internal environment that promotes both cellular and total heath.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.

WOULD YOU QUIT?Would more people quit smoking if the price doubles? Surveys of smokers in Australia found that 75% of them would quit if prices rose by half. So Australian doctors are encouraging government to tack on tobacco transaction levy to help people quit and to put billions of dollars toward healthcare costs.

COLON CLEANSINGThere is no proof that “colon cleansing and detoxification” makes us healthier. Our liver and kidneys are constantly getting rid of toxins from our bodies and are very good at it. Regular bowel movements also clean out the colon well.

GUINESS HAS ANTIOXIDANTSThere has been much written about antioxidants in recent years. At the beginning of this year, the Guiness brewery celebrated its 250th anniversary. A dark beer, a Guiness contains many readily-absorbed antioxidants. The lighter the beer, the fewer antioxidants it contains.

PHARMACIST GOOD SOURCE FOR INFOThere is so much health information available to people today. Sometime, you may want an independent opinion of how reliable some of it is. Our pharmacists are always reading and attending courses to keep their knowledge current. They would be happy to answer your questions.

ISSUE OF THE REVIEW!

Answering some questions about the province’s intentions on parks

The Review emailed a series of ques-tions to the Ministry of Environment recently in regards to its Intentions Paper on protecting lands in the Similkameen and South Okanagan. Here are some of the answers we received back.

Q Is there a budget if the par-cels are to become provincial parks?

A - At this point in time, govern-ment has not changed its position with respect to a national park in the South Okanagan. The feed-

back on the intentions paper will inform government on the potential for other land management options for the area.

- A significant amount of work must be done before any final decisions are made and it is simply too early to know. This paper is just the first step of the pro-cess.

- Once we have received all the input we will review the feedback and determine what if any recommendations would be put to government.

- Once a land management frame-work for the area is agreed upon, resourc-ing requirements can then be considered.

- We have not consulted with Parks Canada on this proposal, but have advised Parks Canada that we are preparing a proposed

land management framework paper for public comment that includes considering a national park reserve proposal.

- We look forward to hearing from Parks Canada on the proposal and look forward to an opportunity to discuss the proposal in detail with Parks Canada.

- We want to receive as much input as possible. Although the paper was released in the summer,

it is available for review and comment until October 31. We feel this provides adequate

time for comment.

- It is important to note that the boundaries in the Intentions Paper are not intended to reflect precise boundaries but are con-

ceptual and intended to garner feedback on three broad areas as outlined in the paper.

- It also needs to be clarified that the Intentions Paper does not indicate that the Lower Similkameen Indian Band, or any other First Nation, has agree to put their lands into a provincial or national park.

- The Ministry of Environment has been undertaking interest-based con-versations with member nations of the Okanagan Nation Alliance to better under-stand their interests in this area.

A 60-day comment period is coming toa close Oct. 31. To leave a comment

If a national park goes for-ward what is the process of making that happen with Parks Canada?

I am also curious about the timeline this intentions paper was released? Why was it released in the middle of summer?

Fall – a great time to turf that thirsty turf Judie Steeves

Submitted With a forecast that the next six months will

be the warmest on record, residents are advised to prepare for at least another year of extremely dry weather by making landscape changes this fall so they can conserve water next season.

Fall is a good time to replace water-hungry turf by over-seeding or replacing existing lawn with drought tolerant turf or seed. One such product available in the is Eco-Smart Blend, which requires 40 per cent less water than standard lawn grasses, advises Barry Paull, who owns Eco-Turf Farms in Kelowna.

Lawns are among the heaviest users of water in the landscape, so they’re a good place to begin in trying to conserve.

The sod is available until mid-November or freeze-up, says Paull, who explains that they switched from standard turf to this deep-rooted blend about three years ago in response to customer demand for a more WaterWise option.

When removing existing turf, replace it with a deep layer of good topsoil before replanting with water-conserving lawn. Roots of Eco-Turf can grow to 15 inches, compared to four to six inches for stan-dard varieties, according to Paull.

Okanagan Xeriscape Association executive-director Gwen Steele suggests if you decide to put in plants instead of turf, begin by replacing just a portion of your existing lawn with drought-tolerant plants.

“Fall is a good time to plant because the air is cool, but the soil is still warm, which is ideal for roots to get established before frost. They’ll get started growing again as soon as the soil thaws in spring,” she notes.

As well, some perennials can be planted by seed in fall, including blanket-flower or gaillardia; rud-beckias; coreopsis and echinacea.

Autumn is also a good time of year to tinker with your plantings. Steele recommends you take a walk around your landscape and make notes on which plants did not do well in our hot, dry summer. There might be a better location where they would get a bit more water or shade. Remember to group plants with similar water needs.

For a listing of WaterWise plants that might do better in that location find the new Make Water Plant Collection, and a listing of local nurseries that carry the collection, at www.MakeWaterWork.ca/plants. The collection was created in partnership between the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s WaterWise pro-gram, OXA and Bylands Nurseries.

For more ideas, browse the extensive plant data-base on the OXA website (www.okanaganxeriscape.org) . You will also find a Landscape Assessment Tool there to help you reduce outdoor watering.

Steele is an enthusiastic fan of creating compost. Leaves that drop to the ground in fall are a perfect start. Small ones can be left where they fall, but large ones should be mowed or shredded first. But don’t use walnut leaves, she adds.

If you do decide to replace an existing thirsty lawn you can also smother it over winter in prepara-tion for a colourful xeriscape landscape or drought-resistant lawn in spring. First, cut it very short, soak it well and cover it with wet cardboard. Mulch that with four inches of Ogogrow or well-rotted manure, or wood chips if you plan to put in just shrubs. Keep the area wet so the grass rots underneath over winter.

Then, do a test dig in spring to ensure the turf has rotted, before seeding or planting, advises Steele.

With 24 per cent of all water used on household lawns and gardens, and less water available per per-son than anywhere in Canada, valley residents are encouraged to reduce outdoor water use this summer and fall. Take the pledge to Make Water Work at www.MakeWaterWork.ca.

Take the pledge to:•Water plants. Not pavement.•Water between dusk and dawn.•Leave lawn 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) tall•Leave grass clippings as mulch•Top dress with compost; and•Change out some lawn for drought-tolerant turf

and/or native and low-water variety plants.
