The Keremeos B.C. Ambulance station celebrated 40 years in the community with an open house on Saturday, August 30.

Present day unit leader Tim Roberts said approximately 50 people dropped in to the station on Saturday, including former unit leaders Walter Despot and Jo Ann Eaton. The three had their photo taken, represent-ing all 40 years of leadership at the station.

B.C. Ambulance began its service in Kere-meos as part of the � rehall. Thirteen years ago, the present station was constructed, and today is home and work for up to 16 staff and two ambulances. The station is manned

24 hours a day, seven days a week.“It’s a rural station, so no one is full time,”

explained Roberts, who said staff work shifts both in house and on call, at pay rates of $2 per hour for on call and mimimum wage while in station. A call out during shift re-sults in a three hour mimimum paid.

The station presently answers an average of 120 -130 calls per month.

“Ten years ago, we averaged 600 calls a year,” Roberts said, “we’re closing in on 1,500 calls on average this year.”

Roberts is upbeat about B.C.’s provincial ambulance program.

“There are interesting things happening, I’m looking forward to the future,” he said. Roberts pointed to the recent multiple victim bus crash on the Coquihalla Highway last

week that resulted in ambulance services throughout much of B.C. stepping in to provide extra vehicles or coverage for a neighbouring jurisdiction.

“That incident required additional resources from nearby stations. As they provided needed support at the crash site, stations like Keremeos moved to � ll in the voids created.”

Many ambulance employees live at the Keremeos station during their shift. The unit has a small two bedroom, two bathroom, kitchen and living area attached where personnel spend their day between callouts.

The Keremeos hall is considered a start-ing facility for new emergency personnel, so

so staff rotate through the village on a fairly constant basis.

“It’s a great place to get started in the ambulance service,” Roberts said, “there’s a good mix of experi-ence to be had here, from highway incidents to medical emergencies and other accidents. It’a a great commu-nity - we have good relationships with other emergency personnel, the public and the medical staff at the

Similkameen Health Centre. New recruits really get a chance to learn how to interact.

“Things are changing in emergency services these days,” Roberts said, “I believe in B.C.’s approach to the ambulance service.

“We have more tools to work with, and new people coming on board who are eager and keen. It’s an excit-ing job.”

A loaded logging truck rolled just west of Riverside Resort and RV Park on Tuesday, September 2, spilling a full load of logs into the ditch before coming to a rest across the roadway. The highway was shut down for several hours following the 8:30 a.m. accident.

Keremeos RCMP, along with members of the Oliver RCMP’s Re-gional General Investigation Section, made a raid on a residence suspected of housing a number of individuals linked to an epidemic of vehicle break and enters last week.

The police hit paydirt with the raid, arresting two persons and issu-ing a warrant for another. They also acquired “a ton of stuff” connected with the vehicle thefts.

“I’ve got a jail cell filled with recov-ered goods,” said detachment com-mander Michael Gallagher. “There is a huge number of stolen items in there that do not show up in any theft reports.”

Gallagher is issuing a plea to resi-dents who have had property stolen in the past two months or so from their vehicles to contact police and file a report, if they have not already done so.

“There has been a rash of thefts associated with this group of indi-viduals that have been reported, but it appears there are more that haven’t been,” Gallagher said, “if we have a report identifying the property, it can be returned to the owner much more quickly and efficiently.”

Victims of theft are advised to contact Keremeos RCMP at 250-499-5511 to file a report. Gallagher said the police would post a time in the coming weeks scheduling a viewing

opportunity at the detachment where theft victims could come to view and claim thier belongings.

Sometime Sunday night on August 31, thieves broke into Zack’s Town Trader in Olalla, making off with at least $5,000 worth of collectables and unusual items.

Shop Proprietor Sue Allen said she arrived at the store Monday to find the doors broken and numerous items missing, including old bills, and coins, collectables, gaming systems, jewellery, rings and watches.

“The thieves took my keys to all the display cabinets,” Allen said, “as well as a large pair of bolt cutters which they used to open storage areas behind the store.”

Allen fears the bolt cutters will be used to access other properties in Olalla or area. The theft is the final straw for Allen, who said she plans to sell off the remaining items and close the store.


Another logging truck accident closed Highway 3 between Keremeos and Hedley for several hours on Tues-day morning, September 2.

The accident occurred at approxi-mately 8:30 a.m. just west of River-side Resort and RV Park, near the Lawrence Ranch. The truck veered into the north ditch, spilling its load of logs before rolling and coming to

rest on its side, completely obstructing the roadway.

The driver was treated on scene by members of B.C. Ambulance. A power pole was sheared off during the accident, cutting power to residents in the Sun Katchers and Riverside communities.

Traffic was backed up in both direc-tions on Highway 3 as RVs, trucks and general traffic waited for work crews to clean up the scene.

Tuesday’s accident was the second

trucking accident to occur on the same stretch of highway this sum-mer. On August 1, a Keremeos truck driver spilled his load of logs after a tire apparently blew, causing his load to shift.

Tuesday’s accident was the second in less than a week for logging trucks on Highway 3. On Wednesday, Au-gust 27, a logging truck rolled at Yel-low Lake, spilling part of its load into the lake and reducing traffic to single lane alternating flow for several hours.

Amy Cohen and Elise Hahn founded the group RAMA ( Redde Apoyo Para Migrantes Agricolas , or Radical Action with Migrants in Agriculture ) in March of 2013.

Cohen was involved in community ser-vice work with migrant workers along with her husband (who is of Mexican descent) prior to that.

She described RAMA’s actions as “broadly ranging.”

“Migrant workers’ situations are precari-ous,” she said, “they are kept that way on purpose.”

RAMA works to break down the segre-gation barriers and fight for workers social and legal rights in Canada. Cohen said RAMA works to build rela-tionships, meeting with Mexican workers and playing roles in crisis intervention, providing translation services, emergency room visits to injured workers and advocat-ing on their behalf. RAMA also works to lobby government for changes to the Sea-sonal Agricultural Workers Program. The pair also organize English classes on farms.

“The key aspect is to break down barri-ers,” Cohen said.

“Workers are very aware of the conse-quences of speaking up for their rights,” said Cohen, “they are terrified of not being invited back. We work to preserve their positions and jobs in the program.

As far as Cohern is aware, there are no surprise inspections of facilities by any authority in B.C.

RAMA is a part time effort for Cohen and Hahn, as Cohen teaches at Okanagan College and Hahn attends as a student. RAMA is represented most strongly in the North and Central Okanagan, where the two reside, but they are working to extend their presence into the South Okanagan and Similkameen.

An attempt by the Lower Similkameen Community Services Society to provide English lessons to temporary foreign work-ers failed to work earlier this summer.

“It’s disappointing,” said intstructor Andrea Massing. She said the group tried different times and venues, but could not attract sufficient numbers of temporary workers to run the classes.

“We tried Cawston Hall in June, then the Fairview Irrigiation District office, then here at the LSCSS office,” she said, “we also tried different times and different days - Sunday morning, Monday evening - the workers said they wanted to learn English,

but work came first.”Massing said David, a local resident who

speaks Spanish, helped to liason between the workers and the program. She said he would be meeting informally to see if there might be dates in August that would work, since peaches were the only crop being harvested for much of the month. She also observed the workers did not have much discretion when it came to getting time off to attend English classes.

Massing said she had heard of irregu-larities and improprieties taking place with foreign workers on Canadian soil, and it was hoped the program would help educate workers with respect to workers’ rights and expectations in Canada.

“It would have been nice to have some good news,” Massing said, noting the program had funding through the province, and was free to the foreign workers.

She also noted part of the program’s goal was to provide the workers with “ele-ments of empowerment.”

“It was not an advocacy program,” she said, describing foreign workers without any understanding of the English language as “absolutely disempowered.”

Valdy performs to sell out crowd at the Grist Mill

A slight threat of rain - in fact, a few drops did fall - failed to dampen the enthu-siasm of a sell out crowd who turned up at the Grist Mill on August 30 to hear Valdy.

It was the second to last concert in the Grist Mills’ summer concert series, and probably the most popular one as the 200 member audience began assembling in front of the Grist Mill’s outdoor kitchen well ahead of the 7 p.m. concert start.

Tree ripened fruit made set up under the apricot tree a potentially messy proposition for concert goers, who brought their own lawn chairs to the performance.

“Valdy boxes” were prepared by Grist Mill kitchen staff and sold at the venue, as were wines presented by Eau Vivre and For-bidden Fruit Wineries. Grandmothers For Africa also set up a canopy under which to present their hand crafted wares for sale.

Valdy provided some pre-concert enter-tainment with his sound checks prior to the show. He presented a casual, laid back atmosphere that was comfortable to an audience made up largely of fans who have followed Vlady’s career since his 1972 hit, “Rock and Roll Song” launched his solo folk career.

“How totally civil to have booze at a

gig!” he said to the audience, declaring him-self a “Keremeos virgin,” as his appearance at the Grist Mill was his first performance in the area.

Paul Valdemar Horsdal - Valdy - Valdy has won two Juno Awards for Folk Singer of the Year and Folk Entertainer of the Year, in addition to receiving seven addi-tional Juno nominations.

He has pro-duced fourteen albums which have achieved sales of nearly half a mil-lion copies, four of which are certified gold. Of Canadian folk artists in the mid-1970s, only Gordon Lightfoot was more popular.

Valdy lives on Saltspring Island in British Colum-bia with his wife Kathleen.

Joyce Fauteux of Keremeos is a long time fan of Valdy who performed for a full house at the Grist Mill outdoor kitchen on Saturday evening.

With word that schools won’t be opening on time, the Grist Mill is taking a number of steps to support students and fami-lies. Starting im-mediately, and until the labour dispute

is over, the student admission rate will drop by half to only $2.50 and the site will be providing extra kid-friendly activity on site be-tween 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. each week-day. Activities will vary each day (and through the day) but could include arts and crafts, games, story-time, heritage chores and more.

For parents bringing more than

their own children, please ensure you have adequate adult supervision for the kids you bring (no more than five kids per adult, please). For larger groups, the site would ap-preciate as much advanced notice as you can provide to ensure there is adequate supplies and staff. Please note that this is not a drop-off oppor-tunity; parents are expected to stay

with their children they bring.

Also, if parents have any respon-sible teenagers they would like to get out of the house, the Grist Mill is always looking for volunteers to help both with these activities as well as many other things on site. Please have them get in touch with as soon as possible at 250-499-2888.

EditorialLogging truck

accidents happening too

oftenA third logging truck accident in just over

a month shut down Highway 3 for several hours earlier this week, inconveniencing hun-dreds of motorists and leaving local business-es scrambling for their early week deliveries.

Is is too soon to start calling for a real-ity check on the log delivery business in the Similkameen? These accidents, if not an epidemic, appear to us to be happening with an unacceptable frequency.

Over the summer, it appeared to us that logging truck traffic was on the rise on High-way 3 and 3A, especially early in the week. Is the cause of these incidents related to driver’s schedules? Is there an issue with rig mainte-nance? Are there issues with truck loading?

We hope these are questions the local industry is examining. The aftermath of these crashes are not only very inconvenient to the public in general, they could be potentially lethal to the truck drivers or to others who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It’s very fortunate that no one has died yet.

There’s also the damage to infrastructure to consider; broken concrete barriers, downed hydro lines and damaged pavement.

Let’s hope industry is taking a look at what is happening on Similkameen’s major high-way. We’d like to see that corrective measures are taken before one of these mishaps costs someone their life.

My wife took our youngest daughter back to school in Victoria this weekend, leaving Angus and I to batch it for a few days.

Angus is our two year old Welsh Terrier.

He seemed to me to be acting a bit bummed out all weekend. He wasn’t his usual overly rambunctious self, probably because I didn’t have a lot of time to spend chasing him around the yard. He was having a hard time entertaining himself, and when he did, he usually got himself into trouble.

So if I didn’t have the time to watch him, I left him tied up, which prob-ably contributed to his bummed out attitude.

We have a cat, too, but I’m not including her in our bachelor weekend, because she’s so aloof and independent I barely notice she’s around.

Angus, however, is an-other story. I readjusted the weekend schedule to make

sure he wasn’t cooped up in his kennel all the time. I also felt sorry for him for the time he was spending on leash, so I let him bunk with me for a few days.

Angus isn’t a big dog - 30 pounds, max - but he turned out to be a terrible bed hog.

When he first realized he was bunking with me, he promptly climbed up onto my pillow on my side of the bed, and looked at me as though to say, “Well, this is comfortable. Where are you going to sleep?” I gently shoved him towards the other side of the bed. That apparenttly didn’t suit him all that well, and he promptly began rip-ping the covers off the bed, as though he had to find a more comfortable layer.

I chastised him and got him to settle down on his side of the bed. I settled down to read for a while, and when I got up to turn off the light, he got up and resettled on my pillow again.

Boy, give some people, uh, dogs, an inch and they

will take a mile. I pushed him back to

his side once more.I woke up sometime

during the night to find his butt pushing against my body. I must have reacted to his relocation while asleep, because now I was only a few inches from the edge of the bed. For a little guy, he was exerting a lot of force on my body.

I rolled over and gently eased him back to the other side of the bed. I must have been sleeping that way for some time; I felt stiff and sore from sleeping in one position.

We both fell asleep again, until he woke me up with some quiet yips and light hearted barks. He was dreaming.

Maybe the cat was chasing him in his dreams. By this time I wasn’t feeling too sorry for him.

Later that night, I dreamed I was falling over a precipice, only to waken, stiff and sore again. Angus had wedged himself against my midsec-tion once more, and had pushed me to the very edge

of the bed, this time with absolutely no room to spare.

“How much bed does a little guy like you need, anyway?” I asked him. As I moved him back to his side of the bed, he yawned, stretched, got up and moved as far away from me as he could get.

Good. It looked like he was starting to get the message.

But, it turned out, apparently not. When I awoke in the morning, I could barely get out of bed. I had spent the rest of the night in one position once again. This time, Angus had moved up on his side of the bed to a location just below the pillow, where he stretched out sideways, his back and front legs completely extended. I was amazed at how long he could make himself, almost stretching across the whole width of the bed, and pushing me towards the edge once again. He looked totally content, happy, well rested and unperturbed.

I bet if I had left him, he’d still be sleeping.

Impossible to let this sleeping dog lieBy Steve Arstad [email protected]


letters

To the Editor: Rueben and Muriel Parker purchased

the Keremeos Motor Inn (Keremeos Hotel) in 1968 from Walter and Alice Magee.

They moved up from Tofino, where they owned 50 per cent of the Maquinna Hotel.

They sold their shares and purchased the KMI along with their four sons - Dwayne, Harold, Brent and Robert.

In 1968, Dwayne, who was oldest, was 17; Robert, who was youngest, was seven years old. The Parkers had their hands full, with a new business to look after as well as the family.

Reuben and Muriel have since passed away. Dwayne married Charlene Schnei-der in the early 1970s, and they eventually purchased the hotel, operating it until 2002 when present owner Bill Irving purchased it.

Dwayne and Charlene have two daugh-ters, Kalena and Tanya; Kalena is married and living in the U.S., while Tanya lives in Cawston.

There were many changes to the hotel

industry in Keremeos over the years the Parkers owned the business. For example, in 1968 the price of a glass of draught beer was 25 cents. Many locals said in those days, “When the price gets to a dollar, I’ll quit drinking draft beer.”

A year later, the price of draught had risen a dollar, and local patrons stayed out of the bar for a day, or two.

Some things stay the same, however. Back in 1968, there were no taxi cabs, as there still isn’t today.

Anyone in the village today who patron-ized the hotel during the Parker’s owner-ship will have a story or two to tell.

On behalf of the Parker family we would like to thank our staff and our regular pa-trons who are too many to mention.

It’s too bad about the KMI - lots of his-tory and memories.

All the best to Bill Irving on the rebuild of the Red Bridge Pub.

One thing that doesn’t go away, up until the end, is your memories.

Dwayne Parker, Keremeos

To the Editor:I read with interest Dr. Partridges well

written letter and his concern re: alternative clinics.

It is my understanding that the chal-lenge is to the B.C. governments right to dictate to its citizens their choices in their medical wellbeing. Universal medicare funded by both premiums and taxation is an excellent concept but has obvious limita-tions in funding and accessibility.

Entities such as WCB and federal units

bypass medicare for superior service. Many European countries have both systems suc-cessfully coexisting.Universal pharmacare in B.C. exists with basic drugs being cov-ered, but allows the patient to use superior drugs at their own expense!

Does the government have the right to dictate medicare as the only medical care in B.C., or should people be allowed to use their own funds to cover deficits in care? Michael Jeanes, Keremeos

To the Editor: Re: Trees on Seventh AvenueWe just returned from a trip up the

Crowsnest Highway into Alberta, and it was a real eye opener into what small towns can do and look like if the will, planning and vision is there.

It’s not just the trees on Seventh Avuenue that look parched, the entire downtown core looks shabby, dirty and dusty. The only bright spots are those by the Garden Club. The sidewalks need a through cleaning, the banners are dull and the gutters have been filled with debris and cigarette butts all summer. When you drive around town the residents take pride in their property - why should our village present itself like we don’t care?

Coach Rob has a valid point - the trees look half dead and if the irrigation system doesn’t work right, fix it. We live in Cana-da’s only desert. It’s always hot and dry. In my opinion that’s a feeble excuse for trees dying for lack of water on the main drag.

Our outward appearance on Seventh Avenue does not reflect the values of the community. This is the window we present to tourism, visitors and ourselves - it needs a severe cleaning and some repair. It’s no wonder, as was reported on the same page, “few visitors remained in the valley for more than a day.” We can entice tourists, and their money, to stop and spend some time or we can allow them to drive right through, the choice is ours.

Marty Menzies, Keremeos

Grist Mill Foundation directors Marilyn Bergen and Dave Cursons met in Keremeos on August 28 with Boundary- Similkameen MLA, Linda Larson.

The province continues to move ahead with its plans to lease out the Grist Mill property if they can find a willing applicant by the end of their Request For Proposal on September 26.

Members of the Grist Mill Foundation are adamant the values associated with the restored and running 1877 water driven flour mill remain intact as a social and eco-nomic asset for the Lower Similkameen and for the larger region.

The foundation also expects the province to continue to operate the mill site as a des-ignated provincial historic site.

The province is looking for a business plan for the mill that would see declining or elimination of goverment funding for the

site.It was agreed at the meeting by directors

and MLA Larson the site is best operated as a heritage business concern as it currently is with the present operator, Chris Mathie-son.

The Grist Mill Foundation has lately been seeking charitable status with the charities directorate of Customs and Rev-enue Canada.

The foundation is also considering add-ing a business goal to their mandate that would see them work towards becoming business manager for the property.

The directors of the Grist Mill Founda-tion meet next on September 18.

A letter of support endorsing present op-erator Chris Mathieson was also prepared and sent to the Honourable Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations by the Village of Keremeos. The letter noted that Mathieson “has garnered tremendous support from throughout the Similkameen Valley and has transformed the Grist Mill heritage gardens into meeting place and focus point for our communities.”

A copy of the letter was also sent to MLA Linda Larson.

Sarah Martin achieved her year-long goal of making the Canadian Ar-chery team recently.

The South Si-milkameen resident only recently took up the sport, pick-ing up a bow in July of 2013 with de-signs on extending her hunting season.

“I’m an active hunter, and I wanted to extend the hunting season with a bow li-cense,” she explained. She began practising, and soon discovered she was good at it. She attracted the attention of local coach (Osoyoos) Brock Paton and over the course of the year competed in several qualifying competitions, including the Canadian In-doors in Lethbridge, the B.C. Provincials in Duncan, the Alberta Provincials in Medi-cine Hat and the Canadian Outdoors in Lac La Biche. She won gold in all events. Thirty-three archers submitted their names to the national team for consideration.

Qualifying for the national team brings with it increasing training demands.

For the next two months, Martin will be shooting twice a week and ramping up her physical training. She will be winter shoot-ing in Oliver, increasing the number of

shoots to three or four per week.“I’ll be building up to firing 100 arrows a

day,” she said, in time for the start of tour-nament competition that begins in March.

“British Columbia only has one or two registered shoots in 2015,” Martin said. “There are a number of fun shoots that we’ll use for training, on the coast and the interior, including the Canadian Indoor Nationals in Cloverdale.”

Martin hopes to be ready to head to France next September where the 3D Worlds will be held. The worlds take place every two years; Montreal has applied for the 2017 event. The sport of 3D archery is not an Olympic event.

Martin will also be looking at fundrais-ing events to help pay for the increasing costs of travel and competition. The na-tional archery team does not receive gov-ernment funding.

Sarah Martin sets sights on international competition By Steve Arstad [email protected]

Sarah Martin continues to excell in her newly discovered sport. The Similka-meen archerer is setting her sights on international competition after being named to Canada’s national team.

Ursa Majorpurchases gold and silver from other gold buyers,pawn shops, jewellers and jewellery makers as wellas from the general public.” Recent price increasesof precious metals have created lots of “gold buyers”including mail in companies. Many of those buyersoffer pennies on the dollar to unsuspecting customersand are limited to what they buy, choosing to ignoresilver and coins and only purchase gold.

“Better Business Bureau complaints about mail ingold companies are extremely high, but it is hard toregulate. My advice is that you do NOT mail yourprecious metals to anyone you haven’t met or spokenwith at length” says Dick.

Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver and coins whileyou watch, with the process explained to you in detail.Any coins with numismatic value will be set asidefrom those with a ‘melt’ value. Silver items such asjewellery, flatware and serving trays will be analyzedfor hallmark identification. Items thought to containgold or platinum will also be analyzed for hallmarks,and then confirmed using precise testing that is donewhile you watch. Then a cash offer is made and youdecide to sell or not.

Dick took out his first gold claim when he turned 16 inthe 1970’s and has been involvedwith preciousmetalsever since. An ardent gold panner, he was a regularat the world championship gold panning competitionwith a personal best of 3rd place in 1984.

“People bring in all kinds of interesting items, butfor the most part it is a broken or old chain, unlovedjewelry, a single earring, and out of fashion items likecharm bracelets. We also accept dental gold but itshould be clean. These days I see more and moresterling silver flatware sets, but before you bringthose in please make sure it says “Sterling” on thehandles. There is a lot of silver plated flatware andserving trays that we can’t buy due to the low silvercontent” says Dick. Another valuable item is coinswith silver content.

Jake MacDonald of Keremeos Home Build-ing Centre took the ice bucket challenge at the request of his niece and nephew. Jake then challenged his staff, donating $50 per head to the ALS cause. It must have been fun, because he did it again, along with his staff. From left, Jake Mac-Donald, Greg Mantle, Shane Jensen, Gloria MacGregor, Connor MacDonald, Lillian Kyle and Daryn Shepherd.The ice bucket chal-lenge hit Keremeos like an epidemic this week, with the fire depart-ment, ambulance ser-vice, Valu Plus Foods and Home Hardware all participating in the frigid fundraiser.

Members of the Kere-meos and District Vol-unteer Fire Department executive took on the ice bucket challenge on Tuesday, August 26. Fire department mem-bers donated $100 to the cause - ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease- and made the ice bucket challenge to other Lower Similka-meen emergency ser-vices (Keremeos RCMP, Keremeos Search and Rescue, and Keremeos Ambulance) as well as the other six regional district fire depart-ments. Getting soaked for a good cause, in pho-to, is (from left): Bill Sparkes, Jordy Boss-cha, D’Arcy Bridgman, Bill Arnott, Brian Helm, and Jim Murphy.

Regional District Okanagan Similkameen Area “D” Direc-tor Tom Siddon put forward a notice of motion at the August 7 regular board meeting propos-ing a siting policy for cellular and large utility towers.

Saying he was “haunted by the Fortis transmission tow-ers lining the east shoreline of Skaha Lake, Siddon wanted to see new policy prepared by staff that would provide the directors with tools to regulate placement of communications towers.

Naramata Director Karla Kozakevich commented on a current issue in the community of Naramata with respect to a 40 metre cellular tower pro-posed for construction in the vicinity of the KVR trail, while Area “G” Director Angelique Wood reminded the board of the issues in Hedley regarding the placement of a Telus tower in that community last year. She further reminded the board of a siting template the board ad-opted in 2013, telling the board the 35 page document contained the tools needed by the planning department.

“Director Siddon and Ko-zakevich are having the same dif� culties I did, with industry taking advantage of the Elec-toral Area Director’s lack of a municipal council to back us up,” commented Area “G” Director Angelique Wood.

“The protocol siting template is an important tool which was created by both local govern-ments (Federation of Canadian

Municipalities) and Industry (Canadian Wireless Network) so it is one of the fairest, balanced approaches to accomodating our collective needs against the overall cumulative social costs. We all need to use it.”

Wood said she proposed to use the template during her negotiations with Telus over Hedley’s monopole. She said the company dug its heels in at the suggestion, threatening to drop Hedley as a cell site.

“Because not many people had seen or heard of the tem-plate, it was dif� cult to get them to consider the content of the document as they were too emtionally engaged and fearful of ‘losing something’ instead of seeing how they could actu-ally “get something better,”she explained.

Penticton Director Gary Litke agreed with the need for the board to get involved in tow-er placement decisions, referring to communications towers as “techno-obscenities.”

The board moved to request RDOS planning staff be “re-quested to develop a new tower siting policy and procedural guidelines to be followed dur-ing the review of proposals for wireless radio towers and large utility towers in proximity to residential areas; this policy to consider the potential for both visual and electro-magnetic disturbances, and the degree of negative impact on adjacent property values resulting there-from.”

Regional directors discuss tower siting policy


The community parks service bylaw for Electoral Area “G” is now undergoing Alternate Ap-proval Process .

The total number of eligible electors to which the process ap-plies is 2,029, while the number of elector responses required to prevent the bylaw from proceed-ing without a referendum is 203.

The parks service establish-ment bylaw was given three readings in June. If the number of elector response forms signed is more than 10 per cent of the estimated eligible electors, the bylaw would require elector as-sent through referendum.

“There is a lot of misunder-standing about the intention and outcome of establishing a Parks service bylaw,” Area “G” Director Angelique Wood said,

“there is already one park (in Hedley) which is being funded, but not appropriately taxed for- which this bylaw seeks to remedy.

“This will also enable us to proceed with making a park in Olalla, and potentially allow us to create an area of jurisdiction-al authority where the former farmworkers campground is, if it is feasible to establish a regional park there.”

Wood said establishment of the bylaw is a re� ection of Area “G”s current needs. The bylaw, if established, would carry a $10,000 budget, which would translate to a tax increase of $4 per $100,000 of assessed prop-erty value. Wood also added the bylaw would allow the regional district to investigate the pos-sibilities of “a cascade of things that could be done under the legislation.”

HOW TO INSPECT YOUR FURNACE BEFORE WINTER ARRIVES

It is almost time to bid adieu to the warm days of summer. Chilly afternoons followed by continually dropping tem-peratures are on the horizon, and fall is the perfect time to service the home furnace to ensure it is ready to withstand the demands of winter.Furnace maintenance should be done on a regular basis. The best time to do so is in late summer or early fall, when you still have enough time to address any problems before it gets too cold outside. HVAC systems malfunctions are typically caused by one of a handful of common problems. Inspecting certain compo-nents can help to guarantee a furnace is in working order when the first cold days arrive.Filter and air intakesAfter several months of running the air conditioning, the filter on the heating and cooling system may need to be changed. Check the condition of the filter to see if it is heav-ily soiled. Furnace filters are relatively inexpensive. Since this thin barrier will be responsible for cleaning the air you breathe, it is important to keep a fresh filter in the unit. A clogged, dirty filter will reduce the efficiency of the HVAC system and may contribute to poor indoor air and allergies.Check the air intakes around the house for obstructions. Do not place furniture directly in front of intakes or vent-ing that delivers air to the home, as this can compromise air flow and force the unit to work harder. Without adequate air flow through the system, the furnace may not turn on.Many systems also have some sort of external vent or ex-haust pipe. Check that the area is free of leaves, debris and animal nests. Again, any blockages can impede the efficien-cy of the unit or cause it to fail.ThermostatVery often a furnace may not turn over because the ther-mostat is faulty. Many a homeowner has spent money to have a service person come out to examine the furnace, only to learn they only need a new thermostat or battery in the thermostat. Check the thermostat against a separate thermometer to ensure that it is reading the right temperature in the house. Raise the setting a few degrees to test if the heat kicks on. FuelFurnaces are powered by various energy sources. Electric-ity, gas or oil may be involved in the process. If fuel is not being delivered to the furnace, the pilot will not light and warm the air to be blown through the house. Some systems have an emergency shut-off switch that will halt fuel deliv-ery to the unit. It’s easy for these switches to be flipped ac-cidentally if a furnace is located in a high-traffic area. Make sure the switch is in the “on” position before reporting a problem.In addition to these steps, you may want to vacuum the vent screens around the house. This will reduce the amount of dust blown around. Also, if the furnace exhausts into a flue, be sure that the exhaust route is clear so that carbon mon-oxide does not back up into the home. Many homeowners are fully capable of inspecting their fur-naces to ensure they are ready for winter. If anything seems out of place or malfunctions, consult with an HVAC profes-sional to make repairs.

August has gone by quickly as sum-mer months seem to do. The “buzz” word of the month was “staycation”. Many of you have been enjoying holidays in B.C. for many years but perhaps a few more British Colum-bians decided to look at what was available close to home but still “away”.

My husband and I have been going to Beaver Lake Resort for a few days each summer, only three hours from home and one of many small pieces of para-dise in the Okana-

gan. Another hidden jewel is Big White. While many of you think of skiing when you see the name, it is truly a beautiful place for a summer vacation. Walking or hiking, amazing views, and 10 degrees cooler than the valley bottom. While we love the heat, a few days break for it is welcome.

There were many events and celebra-tions over the sum-mer, but I only have space to touch on a few. The BC Wildlife Federation in part-nership with the BC Freshwater Fishing Association held a fundraiser at Twin Lakes to support their “Anyone can Fish” initiative and other programs to enable people of any age or circumstance to enjoy fishing. A huge thanks to Kate at Twin Lakes for her generosity and Mike Stern and his

team for their work in organizing this successful event.

Did you know the town of Oliver has been recognized by the Okanagan Basin Water Board under their initiative “Make Water Work” as the most water wise community in the Okanagan? Oliver residents responded to the challenge to conserve and are to be congratulated on embracing this chal-lenge.

The BC Ambas-sador Program has just selected three young women to carry the banner for the next year. We are proud of Oliver’s Ju-liana Martine on her selection. I also want to thank Osoyoos’s Lauren Smallwood who was a BC Am-bassador last year. These young women will attend many provincial events in the year as an Am-bassador and are role

models to all of the importance of com-munity participation and volunteering.

While we appreci-ate slightly cooler evenings as we move into fall, this is not the end of our busy season. Over the next two months there are numerous fall fairs, including Rock Creek’s on Sept. 13 and 14 as well as celebrations through-out the region as our world class wine industry brings in another vintage and shares their passion with multiple food and wine events. Please take time to enjoy all the great fall activities throughout Boundary, Similka-meen, and the South Okanagan.

As chair of the Select Stand-ing Committee on Health, I want to pass on to all of you our Request for Sub-missions. We would be pleased to hear

from any of you on these subjects:

1. How govern-ment can improve health and health care services in rural B.C.? In particular what long term solu-tions can address the challenges of recruit-ment and retention of health-care profes-sionals?

2. How can we create a cost-effective system of primary and community care built around interdis-ciplinary teams?

3. What best prac-tices can be imple-mented to improve end-of-life care?

4. How can we enhance the effective-ness of addiction recovery programs?

BERGANDREW:

Passed away peacefully in Summerland, BC on August 25, 2014 at the age of 97 years. He will be remembered and

sadly missed by his children Brenda (Jerry) Yarema of Arborg MB, Bonnie (Mac) Dunseith of Winnipeg MB, David (Sharlene) Berg of Palm Springs California, Greg (Darlene) Reimche of Summerland BC, Marlene (John) McKenzie of Cranbrook BC and many grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was sadly predeceased by his wife Olive Reimche and 8 brothers and 1 sister. Andy was born in the farm house near Swift Current, SK on Feb5, 1917. When he became old enough he worked for some farmers in that area until 1940. During World War 11, he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force where he served in Canada and Europe for 32 years. In 1944 Andy married Lulu Button from Vanguard SK. They had a family of 2 girls, Brenda and Bonnie, and one son David. Andy and his rst wife divorced in 1977. Pursuing his career in Real Estate, Andy moved to Summerland with his common law wife, Olive Reimche. Throughout the years Andy had many hobbies, some of which were curling, gol ng and going to casinos, but his favorite hobby was going to the horse races and betting to win. Andy was a 33 year member of the Summerland Legion, volunteered at the Summerland Drop In Centre, and made many friends within the community. He was a kind and generous person, always looking on the bright side of life and will be sadly missed by his dear friends and family. Visitation took place on Thursday, August 28, 2014 followed by the Funeral Ceremony at Providence’s Summerland Chapel, 13205 Rosedale Avenue, Summerland BC with Padre Rick Gay of ciating. Interment will take place at Keremeos Cemetery in Keremeos BC. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com

ARE YOU TAKING PROTEIN FOR GRANTED?

The word ‘protein’ comes from the Greek root, ‘proteios’, meaning ‘fundamental’ or ‘primary importance’. From the context of human health, it should be a fundamental part of any health improving strategy. Proteins range from muscle tissue to skin, bones, and hair. These are the more obvious ‘structural proteins’.There is also a huge range of ‘subtle proteins’ that are generally overlooked such as blood hemoglobin, brain fluids, your su-per immune booster known as glutathione and even the structure of your DNA, to name just four. In all, there are more than 500,000 types of protein in the human body. Each day these proteins are breaking down, repairing themselves and commu-nicating with each other. Skin cells rebuild themselves every two weeks, blood cells turn over at a structural level every three months, and muscle tissue is regenerated every six months. At a structural level, even teeth and bones regenerate once a year.Athletes have long known that protein builds healthy muscle tissue, but we are now understanding that it is also a catalyst for weight loss (stabilizing blood sugar and increasing metabolism), cancer-prevention (immune function and glutathione levels) and longevity (cellular recovery and anti-aging).Protein structures are made from ‘amino acids’, twenty-nine of them to be exact, nine of which must be sourced from our diet. We now have access to even more complex amino acid structures, called protein ‘microfractions’, which have been shown to dramatically support immune function and cellular recovery.The three known dietary sources of microfractions are human breast milk, whey protein concentrate (WPC80) and cold temperature cross flow microfiltered whey protein isolate (CFM). The latter two proteins are now available for supplemen-tation. The technical protein comparison benchmark is referred to as Biological Value (BV). This is the proportion of con-sumed protein that is retained in the body for growth and recovery.Whey Protein Concentrate has a BV of 120 and Whey Protein Isolates (CFM) rates at an amazing BV 160. In comparison, chicken, fish, beef have a BV of 75-80. Everyone needs protein; not just athletes. At a basic health-maintenance level, a general guideline is 1g of protein for each kg of body weight. A 35 lb should consumer about 60g of protein a day. If she is moderately active or lives in a stressful environment, then the requirement increases to 1.5g per kg of body weight, or 90g of protein a day.For very active individuals, the protein needs could increase to 2g per kg of body weight or, in this case, 120g of protein. Whether you’re involved in sports, making healthy choices for weight loss, concerned about anti-aging or just dealing with the stresses of modern living, protein should be an integral part of your daily healthy eating program. Easily absorbed and well toler-ated, by even dairy-sensitive individuals, high quality whey protein powder is recommended as a foundational health tool. And that’s something every ‘body’ could use!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.

OVARIAN CANCERThe most serious of all female cancers is ovarian cancer. Over 2600 Canadian women are diagnosed every year and 1750 succumb to this disease. There is no screening test to detect this cancer but when found early and treated, the survival rate is 90%. If you have any abdominal symptoms that last for more than three weeks, see your doctor.

VACCINES SAVE LIVESMany people tend to take vaccines for granted but they do save lives. The number of children saved from dying of measles during the past decade was over 9,500,000 worldwide. This represents a 74% drop in measles deaths.

“FRIENDLY” BACTERIAProbiotics are “friendly” bacteria found in food products like yogurt and also available in capsules. Diarrhea is a side effect of many regular antibiotics. By taking probiotic supplements during antibiotic therapy, diarrhea can often be prevented. It is best to take the probiotic dose 2-4 hours after the antibiotic dose.
